Supervisors approve county budget, lowest real estate tax rate in 13 years By Coy Ferrell
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
After weeks of delay amid continuing uncertainty about some state revenue sources, Fauquier County supervisors unanimously passed a $404 million budget April 14 that includes the lowest real estate tax rate in 13 years. Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel (Marshall District) called it “one of the hardest budgets we’ve ever had to work on.”
At 90.3 cents per $100 of assessed value, the tax on real estate is 3 cents lower than originally proposed and 9 cents lower than last year’s rate. The tax rate on personal property has also been slashed by more than one fourth, with increased taxes on business property and a new 6% meals tax helping to make up the difference.

Bubble tea comes to Warrenton Bubble N.N Bubble opens on 2nd Street, serving Asian fusion food and boba tea By Liam Bowman

Bubble N.N Bubble offers salty crepes, dumplings and super fruit tea, among other delicacies.
Shortly after opening its doors for the first time Tuesday, April 12, the small storefront of Bubble N.N Bubble, Warrenton’s first bubble tea shop, was packed with customers drawn by the Taiwanese drink that has become increasingly popular across the U.S. Located at 20 S. Second St., the shop offers a blend of Asian dishes, including pork dumplings, Ramen noodles and crepes -- both sweet and savory. But the centerpiece of the menu is the bubble tea, a sweet, milky jasmine tea mixed with chewy tapioca balls (also known as “boba”) that can also be ordered with jam. The first day “was very busy,” said Lucky Zhu, the shop’s owner. “I appreciate the townspeople giving me a chance,” and showing support. Zhu, a longtime Fairfax resident who grew up in Taiwan, said she sources the best tea leaves from China and emphasized that everything – from the jam to the dumplings -- is made by hand. The food, which includes Japanese and Korean-influenced dishes, is prepared by Zhu’s husband, Tony Lin. The eclectic menu, Lin said, stems from his experience cooking in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and American restaurants around Northern Virginia and combining his favorite parts of each food culture. Zhu said that her young son’s love of bubble tea inspired her to open her own tea shop. She also said that her son was the one to name the shop “Bubble N.N Bubble.” When asked why she chose War-

It was all delicious – real [Taiwanese] homestyle comfort food, honestly prepared. While it was all good, the standout for me was the super fruit tea. Definitely see a lot of those in my future.”

Dominion plans new infrastructure in and around Warrenton, seeks public input By Coy Ferrell
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Dominion Energy is seeking public input for new 230 kV transmission lines in and around Warrenton that it says are necessary to provide power to new “economic development” on Blackwell Road. While company officials were careful not to mention the project by name, a new Dominion substation is planned for the same property where Amazon Web Services wants to build a data center. AWS announced in May 2021 that it intended to build a data center on 42 acres of industrially zoned land adjacent to Country Chevrolet, and the company purchased the parcel later that year for $40 million. But AWS has not yet applied for the special permit from the Town of Warrenton required if the project is to move forward, Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer confirmed Thursday, April 14. The Warrenton Town Council has the authority to approve or deny special permits. Steve Precker, a Dominion representative who addressed county supervisors April 14, refused to confirm that the AWS facility is the impetus for the new infrastructure, explaining that he could not reveal

his company’s clients. But Dominion’s own literature references a “data center” as the reason for new transmission lines, and the AWS facility is the only data center proposed in the area. Precker confirmed that the existing power grid is sufficient to meet the area’s current needs — unless there is “economic development,” as he called it. Dominion has two options to provide the additional capacity to the AWS parcel, Precker said last week. One would connect the new substa-
tion with an existing substation south of Warrenton using underground transmission lines along the Eastern Bypass. The second option would be to bring power to the new substation by constructing overhead power lines through Vint Hill and New Baltimore from an existing substation located in Prince William County. Supervisors pushed back at the idea of new overhead transmission lines east of Warrenton. “I think on this particular link, you’ve got a very uphill battle,” said Supervisor Hold-
er Trumbo (Scott District), who represents New Baltimore and Vint Hill. “If you all are able to work with us, and work with our citizens, and bury most of this, I think you’ll have much less of a fight,” added Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District). Members of the public can visit dominionenergy.com/blackwellroad to submit comments on the plan. The company will conduct more community outreach before submitting an application to state regulators this fall, Precker said.

After the Fauquier Times initially asked for information about the incident, Brubaker distributed a press release late Monday that said that deputies at the jail were conducting routine checks when they found the inmate. Deputies had last conducted a check on the cell approximately nine minutes earlier. “Detention center staff immediately began life-saving measures while rescue units responded,” he said. Deputies at the detention center are required to perform no fewer than four checks an hour on inmates, no more than 15 minutes apart. Falls explained that the deputies do those checks at irregular intervals so as not to establish predictable patterns. “Those checks were carried out as they should have been,” said Falls, adding that the deputies had followed procedure. “The deputies were on top of it. They took lifesaving steps immediately,” said Falls.
Brubaker added, however, that “We are reviewing the incident internally and will make changes, if necessary.” The inmate had been arrested Sunday, April 17 on a charge of assault and battery of a family member, which is a class 1 misdemeanor. The criminal complaint says that he was having an argument with the victim when he grabbed them by the back of the neck and threw them on the bed. Signs of assault consistent with the victim’s claim were observed by the arresting deputy, the complaint said. After the inmate’s arrest, a magistrate ordered him held without bond. During an arraignment in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Monday morning, Judge Melissa Cupp held the inmate in contempt for “misbehavior in court,” and fined him $100 and 10 days in jail for that offense. Court documents claim that “when bail was unchanged, ... [the inmate] left, stating ‘This is f****** bull****’ as he left.”

Lewis said that deputies were dispatched to the 6800 block of John Marshall Highway on April 13 for a two-vehicle crash. A woman and two men, all occupants of the same vehicle, were found injured at the crash site. According to charging documents, the woman told authorities that she had been parked at a job site in The Plains earlier that morning when Allen pulled up behind her and told her to get out of her car. When she refused and drove away, Allen “began chasing her west on John Marshall Highway.” At one point, she said, she tried to pull off the highway and Allen “rammed her vehicle,” sending her car off the road and through a fence. With both vehicles crashed, Allen fled on foot into the surrounding farmland. The woman and one of the men in her car suffered only minor injuries in the crash, charging documents said. A third occupant had a more serious injury, however, and was taken to UVA Haymarket Medical Center for treatment. Henry Wheelwright, who lives
along John Marshall Highway, said he heard a “big commotion” and saw the wreckage of a car on the road near the front of his property. “There were five sheriff’s cars and more coming” to look for a man who took off on foot, he said. A helicopter was flying over the scene, and when officers came by his house with a dog, he said, “they told me to get back inside.” Following the crash, Lewis said, Fauquier Sheriff’s deputies, a Virginia State Police K-9 Unit and the Fairfax County Police Aviation Unit searched the area for Allen, apprehending him after roughly an hour. He had sustained minor injuries and was briefly treated at Fauquier Hospital. At the time of his arrest, Allen also had outstanding charges in “multiple jurisdictions,” Lewis said, including a robbery charge and probation violation from Prince William; reckless driving and eluding from Fairfax; and failure to appear from Warren County. It is unclear whether Allen had any previous connection with the people he is accused of injuring.

Prom 2022 HOME SWEET HOME welcomes all students IMPROVEMENTS
By Aimee O’Grady
Special to the Fauquier Times
Encouraged by his Unified Sports teammates and friends, Kettle Run High School student Bryan Drotos crossed the gym floor with a bouquet of flowers to where his friend, Madison Canterbury, sat on the bleachers. He asked her to go to prom with him on April 30; he was rewarded with an enthusiastic “yes” while a phone recorded the moment.
After a two-year break due to COVID, prom is back.
Whether you are planning to remodel your kitchen, transform your master bath, finish a basement or build an addition, you need more than a contractor. You need a partner you can trust with the possession that says the most about what you value and the way you live.

Drotos is leaning toward a purple and blue tux that would match his date’s light purple dress. The pair and their friends are planning on the traditional pre-prom dinner and after prom party. Drotos shares his excitement for prom with his fellow students and 19-year-old brother, Scott, who’s own KRHS prom was cancelled last year. Scott will be attending with his girlfriend, a Kettle Run junior. Drotos, diagnosed with autism at age 2, is now a 22-year-old Kettle Run student in the STAND program, an acronym for See Talents & Abilities Not Disabilities. For Drotos, attending prom is a significant milestone, one he reached with the support of his family and teachers, and with help from integrative programs like STAND. He also participates in Unified Sports, one component of the Unified Program which is a national effort that includes sports, clubs and youth leadership. The sports component was implemented at Kettle Run High School this year by special education teacher Kasey Willoughby, who was awarded Fauquier County’s Teacher of the Year on April 8. When he entered Kettle Run as a freshman, Drotos had an Individualized Education Program or IEP. “It was mostly based on behavioral issues,” said Willoughby, Drotos’ special education teacher who has taught him for six years. “Bryan had a really hard time focusing on tasks at hand when students were doing other things in the classroom. He was easily distracted. Since moving to virtual, he has been able to solely focus on academic goals,” she said. Although Drotos’ routine was disrupted when the lock-down began on March 13, 2020, there was an unexpected silver lining for the Drotos family. “Bryan thrived in the virtual environment,” said his mother, Mary Drotos. Drotos uses an iPad and a language app called ProLoQuo 2 Go to help him communicate. Being able to “chat” during virtual learning helped level the playing field for him. “We hadn’t considered virtual learning for Bryan earlier because he enjoyed the social aspects of school. When it was forced upon us from COVID, we were surprised to see the shift in his academic performance,” said his mother.
Bryan Drotos with his prom date, Madison Canterbury Mary Kay Yates, Bryan’s speech therapist who has worked with him since he was diagnosed had her reservations. “I must confess that I thought it would be a disaster having Bryan transition to virtual learning, and the first two sessions needed to be cut short. But it didn’t take long for him to become so engaged in the activities that I needed to stop screen-sharing to have him focus on me again for instruction,” she said. His mother added, “Due to this change, his IEP shifted from behavioral based to academic based. Bryan attends KRHS part-time virtually and has remained virtual since March 2020 except for physical education, which he attends in person. This will be his last year in high school due to him aging out of the special education program.”
An ‘all in’ personality
“Bryan is not like your typical autistic child who doesn’t like to touch or be touched. He will go right in for a hug,” said his mother. Drotos is also very social. “He enjoys being social with his peers and doesn’t mind being a part of their team. If there is something fun to do, he is going to want to be a part of it,” she added. Drotos’ mother used stories to help him understand what prom was. “Once he understood it, he had no intention of missing it.” His mother casually mentioned bringing a date and asked if he wanted to bring someone. “He liked the idea. It was nice to see him engage in the activity,” she said. Yates was also involved in helping Drotos understand prom. “I have been working with Bryan since he was 2 years old. Early on, I recognized that he was a visual learner. We spent some time looking up photos of prom and discussing the event.” Asking Madison, one of his classmates in Unified Sports, to be his date was an easy decision as the two developed a close friendship this past year during Unified Sports.

Rappahannock River Water Trail wins award Fauquier County’s Upper Rappahannock River Water Trail recently received the Governor’s Environmental Excellence Gold Medal Award for its contribution toward implementation of the Virginia Outdoors Plan. “The Governor’s Environmental Excellence Awards recognize those that are leading by example in the commonwealth,” said Gov. Glenn Youngkin in a press release issued by the office of the governor on April 8. This multi-partner project resulted in the opening of two new public access points and three new non-motorized boat launches along the Rappahannock at Riverside Preserve near Waterloo, the Rector Tract in Remington, and Rogers Ford at the C.F. Phelps Wildlife Management area. “The Rappahannock River is a state scenic river offering world class outdoor recreational opportunities like swimming, paddling, fishing and more. And yet, until now, the only river access point for its entire 55 miles along Fauquier County’s southern border was at Riverside Preserve, which did not have a boat ramp of any kind,” said Piedmont Environmental Council Rappahan-
nock-Rapidan Conservation Coordinator Maggi Blomstrom. The Piedmont Environmental Council, Friends of the Rappahannock, John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District and Fauquier County led the planning and fundraising that made the work possible. In 2019, Charles McDonald donated 196 acres to Fauquier County, creating Riverside Preserve. The American Battlefield Trust purchased and donated Rector Tract to the County for public use. Both are held in permanent conservation easements with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and Virginia Department of Historic Resources. The Rogers Ford access point is located on the public land of C.F. Phelps Wildlife Management Area, owned and managed by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. “Being part of this project is tremendously exciting and gratifying. A truly collaborative effort involving both nonprofits, government, and the local community, the Upper Rappahannock River Water Trail speaks to the power of partnerships and conservation in increasing public access to nature,” said Blomstrom.

Unified Program
Unified Sports, the class that both students are enrolled in, encourages general education students to enroll in the special PE class through an application process. “Once they submit the application, it is considered by a panel of Kettle Run teachers. As part of the class, we expect our general education students to be leaders in the school, acknowledge the kids in the class when they see them outside of class and generally be good role models. In class, we look to them to lead the warm-ups and be active participants,” said Willoughby. Willoughby is Unified Sports coordinator and coaches the basketball team that both Drotos and Canterbury are on. There was more interest in the program than anticipated. “We hoped to get enough general education students to have a one-to-one ratio, but we had so many it is nearly two-to-one,” said Willoughby. Willoughby hopes to expand the program to include it in each elective. “I would like to schedule time to meet with each department head and ask them how they can incorporate us into their classrooms,” she said. “This program has a lot of potential to better integrate students like Bryan into the general student population,” she added. The Unified program can be implemented in elementary, middle or high school.
The Unified Sports program exceeded all expectations. “Managing this program has reignited my passion for my job and given me hope for the future. It’s been wonderful to see how responsive both teachers and students have been,” she said. Willoughby has seen an increased interest in students wanting to pursue special education because of Unified Sports. For the Drotos family, the program has meant much more. “Thanks to Kasey Willoughby and her willingness to implement the Unified Sports program, Bryan has had a very fulfilling experience during his last year at Kettle Run. She has helped him to be seen and accepted by his peers. As a mother with a child who has a disability, all I can hope is that Bryan is accepted by those around him. His Unified Sports classmates, like Madison, are wonderful students who have brought Bryan into their circle and have given him friendships. Being part of Unified Sports has done so much for making him feel included,” said Mary Drotos. Autism Acceptance Month, previously Autism Awareness Month, is celebrated during the month of April. It celebrates and promotes acceptance for the condition that occurs in one of every 54 children in the United States. Autism is a complex developmental condition that affects a patient’s ability to interact, communicate and progress and has many subtypes.

Supervisors approve county budget, lowest real estate tax rate in 13 years BUDGET, from page 1 Because the value of real estate has risen significantly since 2017, the last time those values were reassessed before the current cycle, the average homeowner’s real estate tax bill will still be about $390 more this year even with the reduced rate, although the reduction in the personal property tax rate will help lessen some of that impact. Each penny on the tax rate costs the average homeowner $46 per year, according to the county budget office. The 90.3-cent rate was made possible largely by an analysis of the county’s tax-break program for low-income elderly residents. Supervisors had last met to discuss the budget March 29, when a majority expressed support for lowering the tax rate to roughly 91 cents. But since then, Commissioner of the Revenue Eric Maybach analyzed the impact of the program. That analysis found that the number of program participants this year will be significantly less than last year, accounting for $1.4 million in revenue not anticipated in earlier budget proposals. Supervisors had also delayed finalizing the budget because state legislators continue to debate the fate of the tax on groceries and other revenue streams that could have major financial implications for local governments and school divisions.
“The board intends to pass any revenue seen from the grocery tax or its replacement to the school division for the next two years.” — BOARD CHAIRMAN CHRIS GRANGER FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL
Repealing the grocery tax — a key campaign promise of Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) — and a new state mandate on retirement funds would account for a $3.2 million drop in Fauquier County’s revenue. But with no immediate resolution on the grocery tax issue expected in Richmond, the county budget passed last week assumes that the grocery tax will be repealed, leaving local real estate owners making up the difference. Still, after several revisions that cut some major spending items out of the original proposed budget, supervisors were upbeat about the implications of the budget and called the final product a result of goodfaith negotiation and compromise. “With the budget, we have the opportunity to make everybody unhappy. It just seems to be the nature of
the beast,” acknowledged Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District). But, he said, “I will vote for the budget because I think we got to a reasonable spot — not perfect, because not everyone is going to agree on that.” His reserved harsh words for state lawmakers in Richmond, however, criticizing them for failing to act on a state budget and, more specifically, for threatening to take away revenue from local governments. “The state has put us in a rotten situation,” he said. Board Chairman Chris Granger (Center District) added his thanks to county residents who shared their feedback about the budget process with him and other supervisors. “You all have spoken to me at Home Depot, at the grocery store, on walks past my house … and when I think back and think about the past 2 ½ months and toiling over this budget … you really have made your opinion heard and like Mr. Trumbo said, we have to act — and we have to act on behalf of our community,” even as questions remain about the state budget. “The democratic process,” Granger added, “is alive and well in Fauquier County. And I’m grateful for it.”
‘Responsible increases’
After two months of county budget talks that have at times delved deep into the details of everything from employee benefits to used car values, supervisors made a point last week to highlight the bigger picture. “I think we finally came to a budget that is well-balanced and invest in the things that are important for the county going forward, while trying to maintain an affordable rate for our citizens,” summarized McDaniel. The budget passed last week, for instance, will put county-employed first responders on a stepped pay scale, resulting in average 5% raises and guaranteed yearly increases going forward. That’s something that the county’s fire chief, sheriff and firefighters’ union have said will make it easier to recruit and retain employees. Twenty-seven new professional firefighter positions have also been added to the county payroll this year. Referring to the average real estate tax bill increase for county homeowners, Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District) said that “for $34 a month, taxpayers are hopefully keeping our firefighter turnover low,
our law enforcement turnover low.” Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) elaborated that Fauquier County has often invested money in training young first responders, only to lose them to higher-paying localities in Northern Virginia. The stepped pay scale, he said, “goes a long way in trying to solve that problem.” The budget will also increase the minimum wage for county employees to $15 per hour and give all county employees — outside of first responders — a flat 5% raise. County Administrator Paul McCulla said, for instance, that failing to raise wages could have resulted in rolling closures of the county’s remote trash-collection facilities due to staffing shortages. Granger pointed to the revised capital spending plan, which supervisors overhauled last month, that eliminates a planned courthouse project and instead accelerates major projects like the construction of a fire station in Bealeton, renovations to three other fire stations, the construction of a central library, improvements to the Central Sports Complex and a host of major repairs to school buildings. The last item, expected to cost $50 million, would require a referendum. “Some of these enhancements we discussed are a huge improvement county wide,” said Trumbo, “These are all responsible increases. These are things we need to have.” “We’re definitely accomplishing a lot, and I think staff has done a fantastic job scrubbing this,” added Gerhardt added.
School funding still uncertain
Besides the fate of the grocery tax, the major question mark remaining concerns the school board’s insistence that teachers receive average 13% raises this year, even if that means slashing some school programs and instituting a hiring freeze. The school division had requested an additional $7.6 million this year in local tax revenue that would go toward funding those raises. But that request represented about 5 cents on the real estate tax rate, and supervisors have stood firm on their commitment to pass a budget with the lowest tax rate feasible. Limited good news for the school division came late last month, when the budget office announced that providing health care to school employees will cost $1.5 million less than initially expected. But that will only go so far toward providing the substantial raises that school board members have insisted are necessary to avoid losing more teachers to Northern Virginia localities. If the General Assembly changes course and retains the grocery tax — something that county officials said is unlikely — that $2.5 million could be allocated to the school division, putting the school board much closer to its funding goal. “The board intends to pass any revenue seen from the grocery tax or its replacement to the school division for the next two years,” Granger clarified on Friday.

4 ways to mark Earth Day By H. Wheeler
Special to the Fauquier Times
Warrenton is the official birthplace of Earth Day. Bordered by pastures, ponds and pathways, “The Island of Thought,” as TIME magazine once dubbed Airlie, is where in 1969, Sen. Gaylord Nelson shared his idea with a group of students. The first “conservation governor” proposed a day of awareness to amplify environmental issues and to pressure politicians into action. His idea united people across the United States, and they mobilized in the name of a sustainable environmental future. Airlie continues its legacy, modeling environmentally thoughtful practices in its day-to-day operations. There has been a tree planted every Earth Day since the first announcement, including the one planted by Gaylord Nelson personally, when he returned there in 1993. There are several ways to participate in Earth Day locally.
PASSIVELY: Pledge to protect
Fauquier County became a Bee City USA affiliate last month and
joined forces to protect pollinators through education and outreach. Bee City’s mission is explained at beecityusa.org. There are numerous options for busy bees to get involved. Those interested may sign may sign the Xerces Society’s Pollinator Protection Pledge.
PROACTIVELY: A call to arms (and farms)
• The Fauquier Climate Change Group has a range of sustainable initiatives, including rooftop solar for businesses (in conjunction with the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce) and area water monitoring. The group is currently scheduling workshops. • The Fauquier Climate Coalition helps local businesspeople, like farmers, vintners and brewers, providing resources for them to incorporate sustainable practices (like solar energy) into their operations. Focusing on networking, workshopping, education outreach
and community collaboration, the committee is also accepting volunteers and offering services. Both groups are looking for people and businesses who want to learn about sustainability and climate change and volunteers to help with social media and organization. Cindy Burbank can answer questions about both organizations; she may be reached at cindy.burbank@ comcast.net
INTERACTIVELY: Nothing but blue skies
For those looking to celebrate Earth Day in nature, Sky Meadows State Park is hosting a special Earth Day-themed hike. Rangers will guide attendees through unique ecosystems, nature zones and waterway and offer their expertise about the local landscape. The hike is 2.5 miles long and takes place on easy walking trails. Find details at Earth Day (virginia.gov) Where: Sky Meadows State Park,

EDUCATIONALLY: A lesson in green vehicles
The St. James’ Episcopal Church Green Team will host an e-vehicle car show in the St. James’ parking lot (at the intersection of Beckham Street and S. 3rd Street, Warrenton) from 9 a.m. until noon on April 24. Green Team spokeswoman Kathy Ellis said, “We’ll have three e-vehicles and one hybrid on display with their owners to talk about the pros and cons of each. We will also have a representative from Country Chevrolet and others who are knowledgeable about charging stations, electricity use and how to encourage the development of clean energy.” Anyone who has an e-vehicle to add to the show may contact Kathy Ellis at cliftonfarm1@gmail.com.

Warrenton stylist has passion for sustainability By Kelly O’Lone
Special to the Fauquier Times
Jacquelyn Rodriguez opened up her salon, Enlightened Styles, on Shirley Avenue five years ago. While helping her clients look their best, she said her sustainable approach and organic products are healthier for her clients and gentle on the planet. Rodriguez has been in the beauty industry for 22 years, but her drive for sustainability began when her now teenage children were toddlers. She explained how she was cleaning her bathroom and didn’t want her children in the room because of the strong odor of chemicals. Rodriguez said she decided to make a difference at that moment. She immediately switched out her cleaning products and began reading labels with a more critical eye. “A product may say all-natural or organic, but you need to flip it around and look at the ingredients,” she said. Although many beauty products ingredients are initially unfamiliar to the average customer, a little research is well worth the time, she said. One “sneaky place for ingredients that people don’t even pay attention to is perfume or fragrance,” Rodriguez said. She shared how some harmful chemicals don’t have to be included on product ingredient lists because they are components of fragrance and are exempt for federal requirements. Rodriguez stressed how 60% of what people put on their skin, the body’s largest organ, goes directly into the bloodstream. “Having a non-toxic salon means that I create an environment where you feel safe, heard and cared for,” she said. She added that when she first opened her business, there wasn’t as much information readily available, and she was forced to dig into the research on her own. “There was no one to teach me how to have a non-toxic salon,” she said.
COURTESY PHOTO
Enlightened Styles’ beauty experts Greer Etchebarne, Jacquelyn Rodriguez, Stephanie Young and Heidi Lyons Rodriguez stressed how much waste occurs at salons and goes directly into landfills or down the drain; her mission is to change that. The showerheads at the salon use 60% less water than regular ones, and nothing in the salon goes to waste. Through Green Circle Salon, a sustainable salon partner, Rodriguez can recycle most items she uses daily. Even the cut hair that winds up on the floor can be recycled. Dog beds and buoys to clean up oil spills can be made with the cut hair left behind. Leftover coffee is used to water the numerous plants around the salon. Instead of foil, Rodriguez’s stylists use biodegradable tapioca starch paper. All paper towels used in the salon are reusable and biodegradable. The hair color contains no ammonia and is infused with plant-based ingredients. While Rodriguez works hard to mix only the appropriate amount of color for a client, leftovers are poured into a bag for recycling -- not down the drain. All products -- including shampoo, conditioner and styling products -- sold at the salon come in a re-

fillable glass or aluminum container. Clients receive a discount for bringing containers back for a refill. Rodriguez also created her own line of makeup, Ammoura Cosmetics, made with ingredients from a 100% organic bio-dynamic farm in Italy. “No chemicals have been on or near the soil for over one hundred years,” she said. Makeup items include foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow, blush and eyeliner. The non-toxic makeup is customizable and can be created in any shade. Clients can request features like SPF, moisturizer and firming oils to the makeup. The salon also does makeup applications for weddings and other occasions. Rodriguez has three stylists working alongside her and feels it’s vital to educate them and her clients about being greener. She is hopeful they can go home and begin making changes. “Even one change can make a ripple effect on the world,” she said. Salon stylist Heidi Lyons shared her sentiments on Rodriguez’s mission: “I practice sustainability at home and teach the next generation just by them watching.” Lyons said that her two teenage daughters are proud of the difference she is making in and out of the salon. Rodriguez said her practices constantly evolve as she further educates herself and those around her. She strives to bring awareness and hopes others can understand the difference they can make, even by changing just one habit. Rodriguez said, “Mental, emotional and physical wellness is just as important as feeling beautiful when you are here.”

Charlie Arnold, 10, and Sophie Sehring, 12, clean up the stream at the corner of U.S. 29 and Winchester Street.
Not waiting for Earth Day ‘Charlie’s Stream’ clean-up beautifies Warrenton waterway By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
It wasn’t just a walk in the park for 10-year-old Charlie Arnold and 35 fellow Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and friends who spent the morning of April 2 cleaning up a stream behind the Chik-fil-A in Warrenton. They finished with more than 30 bags of trash after combing the woods and stream bed for two hours. Their reward? Dirty clothes, a clean stream, two hours of service hours, pizza and Chik-fil-A coupons. Charlie himself secured the edible prizes as a thank you for those who helped. Charlie has only been a Boy Scout for a little over a month, but it’s the sixth time in three years that he and his family have led a local clean-up effort. Charlie’s mother Cortney Arnold
About 35 children and adults participated in the April 2 cleanup.
said that their family has spearheaded about two clean-up events a year, soliciting help from their friends and neighbors. The most recent project started when the family was looking for a place to put a geocache. They saw that the stream needed cleaning. Arnold said that her son said, “Mom, this is disgusting. Can we clean this up?” The family asked the town of Warrenton about what could be done. Dina Hermoso, with the town’s Department of Public Works, asked Charlie and his family if they wanted to adopt the stream as part of the Warrenton Waterways Cleanup Initiative, and they agreed. Cortney Arnold said, “This project has grown so much from a few friends, neighbors and classmates to Charlies Cub Scout (Pack 1166) and Boy Scout Troop (Troop 10) helping. We appreciate everyone’s help. This land is owned privately, and the owners do appreciate us cleaning the land. This stream goes to the Rappahannock River. Our family values the environment, and we love to be outside.” On Earth Day and every other day, Charlie has always been interested in the environment. His mom said, “Charlie’s grandmother has a house at the beach. All this kid does all day is pick things up off the beach.” Children from 4 to 15 years old participated with a handful of adults to clean up the stream at the corner of U.S. 29 and Winchester Street. The stream doesn’t have an official name, but troop 10 leader Nelson Ross said, “We call it Charlie’s Stream.”

Fauquier Community Theatre presents ‘Side by Side by Sondheim’ Fauquier Community Theatre will present the Tony Award-winning musical “Side by Side by Sondheim” on Fridays and weekends from April 29 to May 15. Stephen Sondheim learned to play the piano by ear at age 4 and then went on to be -- as the New York Times, described -- “theater’s most revered and influential composer-lyricist of the last half of the 20th century, and the driving force behind some of Broadway’s most beloved and celebrated shows.” Music and lyrics included in the show are by Stephen Sondheim as well as songs written with musical theater artists Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne and Richard Rodgers. Musical numbers include favorites from Broadway shows like “Company,” “Follies,” “West Side Story,” “Gypsy,” “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” and “A Little Night Music.” Nine local actors will perform the music and share narration (written by Ned Sherrin) that contains tidbits of Sondheim’s time in London, the ups and downs of show business, and his first meeting with Oscar Hammerstein. The FCT cast is led by three principal actors. Cheryl Bolt is an actor and sopranist who has performed in musicals across the region. Patrick Mulhern is a classically trained lyric tenor and has produced several recordings and toured
‘Side by Side by Sondheim’
When: Fridays, April 29, May 6 and May 31 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, April 30, May 7 and May 14 at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, May 1, May 8 and May 15 at 2 p.m. Where: Vint Hill Theater on the Green located at 4225 Aiken Drive, Warrenton Cost: From $18 to $22 Tickets: www.fctstage.org or 540-349-8760

throughout the U.S. and abroad. Mezzo-soprano Abbey Smith has performed locally in musical theater and with the Washington Chorus, National Symphony Orchestra and Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. She said, “I am thrilled to be working with an amazing cast to bring the work of the great Stephen Sondheim to life.” There are also six featured performers. Kate Clark has played Sara in a production of “Company,” and she said that experience cemented her love of Sondheim. Larry Finkel is known for his many versatile stage roles in the area; Andrew Morin recently displayed the necessary comedic timing in FCT’s “Noises Off.” Danica Shook returns to the FCT stage; “Side by Side by Sondheim” will be her third musical role in the last five months in area theaters. Eliza-
beth Steimel played Jenny in “Company” during the 11 shows she performed in at the University of Virginia. Rachelle White has had lead roles in theatre, film and television in New York. Sondheim passed away in November 2021 at the age of 91. FCT director Steve McBride said, “The genius of Sondheim is that of a timeless art; always relevant and ever telling a story. Working on this production is a great honor and pleasure. The talented actors bring to life the lyrics, melodies, emotions and stories so beautifully articulated by Sondheim. With every phrase, this show promises to bring a laugh, a tear, a memory or a smile to each person in the theatre.” “Side by Side by Sondheim” is produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

Amissville’s Doug Harpole is two weeks into another epic hike
Doug Harpole’s current location

Fauquier County resident Doug Harpole and Nadine Bruhn of Denmark have completed about 200 miles of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail. Look for more reports over the next five months.

The Pacific Crest Trail passes through 25 national forests and seven national parks, with the highest parts in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges.
After conquering Appalachian Trail, he’s tackling the Pacific Crest Trail By Peter Brewington
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
It’s about 460 miles longer than the 2,194-mile Appalachian Trail. Doug Harpole isn’t fazed. Harpole, the Fauquier County resident who regaled Fauquier Times readers with updates during his conquest of the Appalachian Trail in 2018, began the second of the so-called “triple crown” of U.S. distance hikes on April 7. He’s hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, which is 2,650 miles from Campo, Calif., on the Mexican border to British Columbia. The Amissville resident has had knee surgery since he did the AT and is four years older at age 61, but his wife Susan, family and friends expect the unflappable, composed, well-prepared and highly knowledgeable Texas native to make it. So far Harpole has been hiking northbound for
two weeks and is approaching San Jacinto Peak, a 10,800-foot mountain just west of Palm Springs, Calif. “Most of the trail has been at 3,000 to 4,000 feet elevation,” he said. “The high temp so far is 104, the low 36. It’s very, very windy every day. But I really think the weather has been great. Finding water takes a lot of time and attention.” The Pacific Crest Trail, which follows the inland mountain crests of California, Oregon and Washington, requires five or six months. Snowy passes must be crossed, re-supply can be difficult and water sources can be infrequent. Although the PCT encompasses more miles than the Appalachian Trail, many hiking gurus say it’s less taxing. The AT is famous for pounding the body with its constant ups and downs and is considered steeper and more rugged. Harpole, who has a master’s in wildlife ecology from Virginia Tech, was continually fascinat-
ed by the flora and fauna on the AT. Now his mind is on overdrive on the much drier PCT. “Photos just don’t do it justice,” he wrote in an email. “Lots of wildlife and plants and magnificent mountains. Have identified four snake species, four lizards and over 30 birds.” He’s hiking with a friend, Nadine Bruhn, 36, of Denmark, he met in 2018 while hiking the AT. “It’s been a pretty incredible week. We had planned to start with low daily mileage but have averaged about 14 miles per day, with a high of 20,” Harpole said. “We passed through Julian, and there were many hikers. But it still seems less crowded than the Appalachian Trail. I’ve met two Danes, five Canadians, two Aussies, a few Dutch, and a bushel of Germans.” Harpole planned on doing the PCT in 2020, but the pandemic resulted in it being closed for thru-hikers.

OBITUARIES Deborah A George Deborah A George passed away peacefully on the evening of April 13th in the family home in Middleburg Virginia. Deborah was born on December 7, 1957 to her parents Jean and Andrew Huston in St. Louis Missouri. She was the youngest of three daughters and is survived by her older sisters Connie and Sherree. She loved her hometown, and that is where she ultimately met her husband Greg in 1986. They were married in April 1988 and soon thereafter moved to California to start Greg’s ophthalmology practice. While in California she gave birth to her two sons, James 32, and Grant 26. She adored them greatly and would spend her days entertaining and educating them. Deborah had a lifelong love of animals, along with the desire to learn how to be an equestrian rider. In the late 90s, on traveling to Northern Virginia for a friend’s wedding, she fell in love with the Virginia countryside, and the family decided to relocate to Great Falls, and ultimately Middleburg Virginia. One of her greatest joys in life would be to ride to a hilltop in Middleburg with her dear friend Connie, close her eyes, soak in the warm breeze, and listen to the sounds and feel of nature. In 2016 Deborah was diagnosed with a brain tumor. In her true courageous fashion, she battled this disease for six years. She never let it get her down, and she maintained her ability to live life to its fullest with style and grace while spreading warmth to others through her infectious laugh and smile. For the last few years she spent her winters in the Bahamas where her warm personality lead to many new and close friendships. To celebrate her life, the family will be holding a small event later this spring in Middleburg Virginia. Her ashes will be spread on her favorite hilltop. In lieu of flowers please send a donation to Sprout Therapeutic Riding and Education center for the handicapped at sproutcenter.org or Mobile Hope for foster children when they turn 18 at mobile-hope.org.

Places of Worship CHILDREN AND GRIEF
Whether it’s the death of a family member or a beloved pet, everyone copes with death and grief differently, and children grieve in different ways than adults. Children’s developmental ages and personalities will affect how they grieve and process a loss. Often, children’s emotions will range from anger to crying one moment to wanting to play the next. Sometimes, they might not seem too concerned about it. All of this is normal. Allow them to ask questions and respond truthfully. If at all possible, it’s best that the individual delivering the sad news is the person closest to the child. As children get older, they may begin to understand more but still need help from parents and other caregivers. You do not have to be alone as the parent or caregiver of a grieving child. There are many resources available via the internet and in the form of grief support for your child. Families have trusted MOSER FUNERAL HOME to care for their loved ones and to serve their family. We promise excellence in service and compassion during this difficult time of loss. To learn more about our services, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton. “No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away.”
