Warrenton Town Council split over tax rates

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A comment from Warrenton Town Councilman Kevin Carter (Ward 5) summed up the dilemma facing the council after an hour-long budget work session on Tuesday morning.

“We really can’t have it both ways,” he said. “We want to reduce the taxes and keep them low, but we also want to fund the town.” He pointed out that operating costs for services like police and public works have increased with inflation, just as costs have increased in the private sector.

‘It took a village of people to get me where I am today’ Social services programs provide a lifeline for domestic violence survivors

Sylvia Woodward, Warren Marshall and Kim Kline are members of a domestic violence support group offered by the Fauquier County Domestic Violence Advocacy and Sexual Assault program.

After living with her partner for 45 years and enduring decades of verbal and emotional abuse, Elizabeth Ramey said she found herself homeless at age 71. Now 75, she lives alone and works in the nutrition services department at a local public school, so she has enough money to take care of her dog Molly. “Nobody comes between me and my dog,” she said.

Ramey and three other members of a Department of Social Services support group for victims of domestic violence recently shared their stories with the Fauquier Times, sup-

ported by Daniela Gamon Vargas, a domestic violence advocate.

Kim Kline, who attends the support group with Ramey, said that when her friend first attended the group four years ago, “Liz kept her head down and would just cry and cry. Now, you wouldn’t recognize her. She’s wearing makeup; she fixed her hair.”

About 25 people are part of the support group. Some weeks the group hosts three to seven participants, sometimes 15. Usually, a meal is provided.

Angel Walters, outreach coordinator for the Fauquier County Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocacy program, said that it’s amazing to see the difference in people from the time they “arrive at the group and when they feel OK to open up.”

Guidelines for the second COVID booster vaccine

At the end of March, the Virginia Department of Health announced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidance for COVID-19 vaccination. Second booster doses may now be provided to certain populations in the Commonwealth.

Adults aged 50 years and older may choose to receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after the first booster dose.

Adults aged 18 to 49 years who received Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine as both their primary series dose and booster dose may receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after the first Johnson & Johnson/Janssen booster dose.

People aged 12 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may choose to receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after the first booster dose.

Approximately 1 million Virginians are now eligible for a second booster, according to VDH, and now have access should they wish to receive one. Virginians are encouraged to consult with their healthcare provider regarding their own risk assessment to decide whether or not to receive a second booster.

Warrenton Town Council split over tax rates TAX, from page 1 Still, some council members expressed concern over maintaining or increasing taxes to pay for those increased expenses, although council members did not lay out any concrete proposals about what expenses to cut if tax revenue remained flat or decreased. In particular, no member of council expressed a willingness to cut cost-of-living and merit-based raises for town employees — including police officers — out of the budget.

The proposed $32.4 million fiscal year 2023 budget being considered by the council would keep the real estate tax rate at 5 cents per $100 of assessed value, increasing the average annual tax bill by $38 because of last year’s reassessment. The budget proposal would also raise the meals tax, the largest single source of revenue for the town, from 4% to 6%, and double the cigarette tax from 20 cents to 40 cents per pack. Utility bills would also increase by an average of 7.3% annually for five years to address what town officials say are long-neglected critical maintenance needs in the town’s water and sewer infrastructure.

A public hearing and vote on the real estate tax rate was held Tuesday evening after press time. A work session to address the budget in more detail will be held Wednesday, May 18 and a final spending plan is scheduled to be adopted June 14.

The current tax rate on real estate is by far the lowest among towns in the region, and one-third of Warrenton’s rate in the mid-2000s. But Carter, for instance, said that the real estate tax rate should be lowered to collect the exact same amount of revenue as last year — meaning that $220,000 would need either to be cut from the proposed budget or compensated by other revenue sources.

Councilman Bill Semple (Ward 2), on the other hand, expressed concern over the increased meals tax rate, arguing that it could hurt restaurants, although he did not lay out any alternatives for making up the $1.5 million in revenue that increase is expected to generate. “Any tax increase has to be thoroughly justified, and I don’t

believe that we’ve gone through the process,” he said.

Members of council universally agreed that any tax impact to town residents should be carefully considered. Councilman Brett Hamby (Ward 3), however, was among those cautioning that reducing tax revenue now could hurt the town’s ability to provide services in the future. “We cannot procure products for the same price as we did in fiscal year 2022 … or [FY 2021],” he said. “We need to play the long game, more than any budget that we have done before. …

We need to make sure we maintain the services we provide.”

Mayor Carter Nevill echoed Hamby’s concerns, arguing that the town budget should not be overly reliant on one source of revenue. “I think from the standpoint of long-term fiscal stability … leaving so many of our eggs in one basket may put us at risk,” he said of Carter’s suggestion to lower the real estate tax rate. “I feel like we are — there’s an inherent risk in keeping it as low as it is.”

Nevill emphasized that the town’s budget had been flat — and in some ways reduced — during the pandemic. “We’ve had two years of flat budgets without any of the increases, so as we look at this it’s easy to see it in a vacuum,” he said. “However, we have put the brakes on — significantly reduced the budget. … I think it’s important to see this as catching up to where we would, should have been … outside of the pandemic.”

Paxlovoid

Gravatte compared the availability of Paxlovoid – a drug that if given to COVID sufferers in the early days of their illness can help reduce symptoms and prevent hospitalizations and deaths – to Tamiflu. Tamiflu is given to patients with the flu to prevent a worsening of symptoms. “It’s exciting how Paxlovoid blocks the replication of the COVID virus. We are expecting a parallel to how Tamiflu works for flu.”

Testing

Since many people with COVID

are asymptomatic, it can be difficult to know when to take a COVID test. Gravatte suggested: “If you feel ill, even you feel a little off, if you have a fever, intestinal or respiratory symptoms, take a test. They are widely available.”

He said, “If you are having a big gathering, take a test and isolate if you test positive.” Anyone who is going into a situation where there might be vulnerable people should “test before you go.”

He concluded that it would be helpful if “we all just recognize that we are still in the pandemic. If you have any symptoms, test. Follow social isolation guidelines, and if you are going into a situation where you’re not sure, test before you go.”

Small team of social services ‘advocates’ help local victims of domestic violence, sexual assault

By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

There are a few underlying principles that guide Fauquier County Department of Social Services’ three-tiered approach (advocacy, outreach, prevention) to helping victims of domestic violence.

Adult services Program Manager Mittie Wallace said that her team of advocates takes a “traumaand culture-informed approach” to be sure not to re-traumatize victims. “It’s emotionally safe for victims and non-judgmental,” said Wallace.

A grant from the Virginia Department of Social Services started the Fauquier County Domestic Violence Advocacy program in 2015. In that year, two advocates served 123 victims and survivors.

In 2016, Wallace said, a grant from the Department of Criminal Justice Services allowed the program to expand to include sexual assault survivors; two advocates and one outreach coordinator were added to the team, and it was renamed the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocacy program to reflect its expanded mission. The program operates under DSS director Shel Douglas.

In fiscal year 2021 (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021), 447 people received services through the program, including 317 women and girls and 130 men and boys. Of all the people helped, 254 were

adults and 193 were children. The program provided 69 people with emergency housing for an average of nine nights each. Emergency basic needs and meals are provided when people are left without resources for themselves and their children.

Angel Walters, outreach coordinator for the Fauquier County Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocacy program, pointed out that that a significant portion of those receiving services were men or boys. “Most people think domestic violence is just an issue for women, but children, the elderly, men, women, the disabled, every demographic is represented.”

Walters said that more people are aware of their services now. Because of close relationships with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and the Warrenton Police Department, more people who need services are learning about them through law enforcement.

The program and its close relationship with law enforcement is the only one like it in Virginia, Wallace emphasized. “We are on call 24/7. We share our schedules with [the police] Communication [team], so they know who is on call if there is a need. People learn about us during an emergency, but come back to us later to use other services. … Some find us even before they call

law enforcement.”

There are challenges, however, mainly related to funding and recruiting advocates to work in the program. Despite an increase in the size and scope of their mission, the number of advocates hasn’t increased since 2016, Wallace said.

Advocacy

The advocacy piece of the program, said Wallace, works hand in hand with crisis response.

Four advocates work with victims to walk them through the legal process. The help is always voluntary and confidential and gives power back to those it has been taken from, Wallace said. “We provide legal assistance for the protective order process.” And advocates sit in on Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court adult criminal dockets that involve domestic violence. “When they are facing their abuser, we provide support.”

See ADVOCATES, page 10

‘It took a village of people to get me where I am today’ GROUPS, from page 1 Mittie Wallace, adult services program manager, said, “The support groups are amazing. In one group we have five or six people in their 80s.

They can speak freely because there is trust and mutual respect. Their brains have been traumatized. The group’s purpose is beyond building rapport. It’s building relationships.”

Kline said the friendship and inspiration she gets from Ramey and others in the group is invaluable. She said, “A lot of people who come are reluctant to talk at first. We encourage each other to live.”

The group meets once a week and follows a curriculum designed by the social services department’s domestic violence advocates. Occasionally, the group takes a two-week break so that its leaders can review the curriculum and prepare for upcoming sessions. “I hate the breaks,” said Kline, but some of the members get together outside of meetings to share a meal or a laugh. “We’re family,” said Kline.

Warren Marshall said that the support group helped him get his self-respect back, though not all at once. Marshall, 63, said he was sexually abused by his sister when he was 11, and suffered physical, emotional and verbal abuse from his mother and several wives over the years. He was in the armed services from 1976 to 1983, served in Vietnam and has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, bi-polar disorder, depression, severe anxiety, bone deterioration and spinal stenosis.

He began attending the support group at the recommendation of some-

one at Hero’s Bridge, a group that supports elderly veterans. Marshall said, “I am more ambitious now. I applied for a part time job at Food Lion.”

Marshall is even considering dating again. “I’m on a dating site now.

I realize I can’t blame all women because I’ve had some bad apples. I’m being very cautious. In the group we learn to trust ourselves again, to trust our instincts. The group has taught us to do for ourselves.”

Kline added, “it gave us tools to cope.”

Sylvia Woodward has been attending the support group for about a year. She said the group has given her “a better outlook on myself. There is trust and respect.” She said the group is an exception to her reluctance to get close to anyone because, “every

time I do, I’m going to get hurt again.

I have always liked to take care of people. That’s when I’d get hurt. I’d care for them, but instead of returning that caring, they were abusive.”

At 63, Woodward is without permanent housing, and she lives alone in a hotel room. It’s lonely and boring, she said. “If I was in town, I could walk to meetings, but I’m out in Opal. The Circuit Rider bus doesn’t go there.” A DSS advocate picks her up and brings her to meetings. “They call and check on us,” she said. “They are always right there.”

Because of the isolation, she said, “I really look forward to Wednesdays [support group meetings]. … When we had to go virtual, we didn’t have [in-person] interactions for 16 weeks.

“The support group has helped me a lot. I didn’t have nobody else to talk to. … I wouldn’t have talked to a group about the abuse before. Now, I rattle off about it,” she said.

Lack of housing a barrier to independence

Woodward said she stayed in her last abusive situation as long as she did because “I had nowhere to go.”

She had been living with her grandson, his mother and her husband; they were emotionally and verbally abusive, she said. “I needed to hide from them. It was like walking on eggshells all the time.”

All of the support group members agreed that a lack of affordable housing is a huge problem. Ramey said that about seven months before she left her partner, he told her, “You have to go. I don’t want to be seen with you.”

But she, too, had nowhere to go.

“We had built a home together, but everything was in his name. He was very controlling. I didn’t have anything.”

Woodward said, “As a homeless person, my biggest thing with Fauquier County is they don’t have enough short-term places for people to stay.” There are few, if any, affordable options, Woodward said. “And now that I’m retired, I really can’t afford anything. The past two weeks I’ve been trying to find a place to live, but everything requires an application fee” and by the time she applies, the place has already been taken, along with the application fee.

Kline, too, was without housing after leaving her husband. “I lived in my van for 6 months” before finding a place to live on her own. “It was the first time in my life I felt safe.”

A lifetime of abuse

Kline has been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression, as well as dissociative identity disorder caused by trauma. She said, “Being DID is difficult. It is hard work to try and keep other parts of me from reacting to situations.”

She is 56 now; she was diagnosed at 26. She takes 14 different medications.

Kline described a life full of violence and sexual abuse. The abuse started in infancy, she said, and continued until 2019.

But now Kline said, “Social services are my lifeline, my security. When I was in crisis, they were there for me.

Without them, I don’t know where I’d be. They give us tools to fight through.”

Ramey agreed tearfully, “It took a village of people to get me where I am today.”

Head-on collision leaves 1 dead, 4 injured A Winchester woman was killed and four others were severely injured Saturday morning after two vehicles collided head-on on U.S. 50 near Atoka, Virginia State Police confirmed Tuesday.

Jensen Hoover, 29, had been driving east along the rural highway when, at 8:27 a.m., her SUV crossed the double yellow line and collided with a westbound Ford Escape carrying a woman and three children, according to state police. Hoover later died after she was transported to

Winchester Medical Center.

The occupants of the Ford, a 34-year-old Upperville woman, a five-year-old female, an 11-yearold male and a 12-year-old male, survived the collision but suffered “life-threatening” injuries and were taken to INOVA Fairfax Hospital for treatment.

Following the crash, a section of U.S. 50 remained closed to traffic for roughly an hour.

State police are continuing to investigate the crash.

New law sets rules for farm-use placards

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) recently signed HB 179 and SB 186 into Virginia law, establishing a formal process for Virginia farmers to acquire permanent farm-use placards. The law has an effective date of July 1, 2023.

The new legislation requires Virginia farmers to apply for farm-use placards through the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. The placards will have an alphanumeric identification number and are nontransferable. They also must be displayed at all times.

Vehicles eligible for farm-use placards are limited to pickup or panel trucks, sport utility vehicles, vehicles with a gross weight rating greater than 7,500 pounds, and trailers and semitrailers. Valid uses include activities such as transporting supplies to and from fields during planting and harvest seasons, transporting products to market and return trips of exempted farm vehicles.

Under the new law, Virginia DMV may charge $15 for the new placard.

Livestock Show and Sale teaches animal husbandry to the next generation Local 4-H’ers and Future Farmers of America members showed and sold 48 goats, hogs, lambs and steers during the 63rd Fauquier Livestock Show and Sale on May 1 and 2. It was the culmination of a year’s work and dedication for the 26 young people who raised animals for the annual event that began in 1960. Since 2010, it has been held at the Fauquier County Fairgrounds.

After exhibiting their animals on Sunday, May 1, participants spent Monday evening interacting with potential buyers before an auction. Sales at the auction this year totaled nearly $110,000, including more than $10,000 that will go toward a college scholarship fund for future high-school seniors. More than 80 buyers participated.

Exhibitors are judged in several categories, including on their animals’ appearance, market readiness and the exhibitors’ own skill in showing their animals. (See box.)

This year, Taylor Middle School eighth-grader Aaron Locke earned the Howard Grove Memorial Herdsman Award, which is “given to the exhibitor who goes out of their way during the weekend to help others and provide leadership,” said Virginia Tech Extension Agent Sarah Bullard.

Warrenton celebrates Arbor Day by planting for the future

By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The town of Warrenton celebrated Arbor Day on April 29 by planting two ginkgo trees and a pollinators garden alongside the 5th Street dog park. The town’s department of public works handled the two trees, while they got a hand from St. James’ Episcopal Church kindergartners on the pollinators garden.

More help was provided by Easton Blandford, Mayor for a Day. Easton

was shown the ropes by Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill. The pair visited the WARF and the Warrenton Police Department to confer with Chief Michael Kochis, Easton took a ride in a public works truck and continued his day back at town hall.

He won the chance to lead the town for a day through a fundraising auction at Brumfield Elementary, where he is a student. Encouraged by the experience, Easton said that politics may be in his future.

Mayor for a day Easton Blandford and his mentor, Mayor Carter Nevill, stand with fellow gardeners from St. James’ Episcopal Church, Henry Sinclair, Betsy Ashhwell, Madison Berecz, William Colville, Cooper Hemming and Steven Miller.

Rep. Jennifer Wexton HOME SWEET HOME visits Fauquier to meet IMPROVEMENTS her new constituents

By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

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.

After the decennial redistricting process incorporated Fauquier County into the 10th Congressional District, U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-10th) sped through a crash course in Fauquier County’s small businesses on April 21. Wexton is up for re-election this November, and 11 Republicans are vying for their party’s nomination to run against her.

Wexton began the day at Strategic Alliance Consulting on Lee Street in Warrenton. She then visited the Mason Enterprise Center a short distance away, on Main Street, before being whisked to Vint Hill for lunch at Old Bust Head Brewing Company.

She and her team finished the day at Lord Fairfax Community College, learning about its workforce development efforts.

Under the new map, Wexton’s constituents include residents in Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, along with much of Prince William County, all of Manassas and Manassas Park and a small portion of western Fairfax County. Before redistricting, Wexton represented Clarke, Frederick and Loudoun counties, parts of Fairfax and Prince William counties and the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park and Winchester.

“I’ve traded the Valley for the Piedmont, and I think I’ve got the better end of the deal,” said Wexton.

She said of her visit, “I am excited to welcome Fauquier into the 10th District and had a wonderful time talking with local business leaders about challenges they’re facing and opportunities they have here in the region. Fauquier is a thriving and vibrant county, and I found a deep sense of care for the well-being of their community in every person I met. My most important job as a representative is listening to the needs and concerns of those I’m entrusted to represent, and I look forward to doing much more of that in the new areas of the 10th.”

U.S. 10th District Rep. Jennifer Wexton’s new district boundaries include Fauquier County.

Focus on economic development

Ken Lukonis, president of Strategic Alliance Consulting was the first business on the day’s agenda. He gave Wexton a brief history of his nine-year-old engineering business that he started in his basement, how he benefitted from the services offered by the Mason Enterprise Center before moving to a permanent corporate headquarters a few blocks away.

Lukonis’ presentation included information about the government offices his company has contracts with, about his 70 employees — most of whom are embedded with the agencies they are working for — and how he supports his employees, many of whom are military veterans.

Lukonis said after the meeting, “I felt good about the interaction. I invited Congressman [Bob] Good to a similar event, but they have been unable to schedule (mostly due to COVID). It is important that the elected leaders understand Fauquier County business growth, to include tourism and training for the next generation of leaders in our county.”

Small team of social services ‘advocates’ help local victims of domestic violence, sexual assault ADVOCATES, from page 4 She explained that in 2016, the program was able to begin providing attorneys to represent victims in protective order hearings. The two attorneys are paid, but when funding has run out for the year, some attorneys have provided representation for free.

Outreach

Counseling options for victims include limited one-on-one counseling and support groups. Whatever the outreach, though, Walters said advocates are trained to meet people where they are. It can take seven to 12 attempts before a victim successfully leaves an abusive situation. “It’s up to the victim to decide what they need, what they want. We strive to empower victims by helping them find their voice and their right to make choices. Regardless of their decision to stay or leave the relationship, we will provide support and essential tools for safety,” said Walters.

If the advocate can help keep a family together by providing services, that’s one option; sometimes, getting services for the abuser is an answer.

Walters remembered arranging help for an abusive husband who was discovered to be bi-polar, for instance.

Helping him helped the whole family.

Support groups are the center of domestic violence and sexual assault outreach to the community, but the assistance offered goes way beyond what is traditional. Support groups are offered for children and adults, for victims of elder abuse, and there is

a special group for Latinx survivors.

About 50 people participate in the group sessions. They are held once a week for eight weeks, followed by a two-week hiatus before resuming again. “Some participants come for years. The peer support they find helps them to feel less isolated,” said Walters.

But for the advocates who run the groups, it’s not just a short meeting once a week. Walters said that “Some participants are in need of a meal, so we serve dinner. For some, it’s the only hot meal they get that week. The churches, Warrenton United Methodist; Poplar Fork Baptist; First Baptist; Warrenton and Warrenton Baptist have been great about providing meals and include enough to take leftovers home.

“We coordinate transportation for those without a car or without a license,” she said.

Wallace said all support groups are “trauma- and culture-informed,” and include information about how abuse can change a victim’s brain.

Advocates work with participants on self-care, resiliency building, budgeting and parenting.

Wallace spoke of one participant, a 36-year-old mother with two children who were on the spectrum.

“She was at home with the kids and was not allowed to go anywhere except to volunteer at school. She had to beg her husband for food and sacrificed her own meals for her children. Her husband abused her and used the children as leverage.

“She saw a flyer in a Sheetz bathroom and came in to see us. Over the course of six to eight months, we found stable housing for her through Foothills Network. She now has a job, a vehicle and is self-sufficient.

She still comes to support group, where she hears her peers say, ‘Yes, I’ve been through that too.’”

Wallace said that another woman in her 20s without children ended up getting her teaching certification and is now working in the schools.

“She’s got a car and a safe place to live,” said Wallace.

She explained that it often takes a while to find clients permanent housing because transitional housing programs won’t accept domestic violence victims; homeless shelters won’t either. “There are so many hurdles,” Wallace said.

Walters said there are many avenues to provide support. “If a victim is in a car with an advocate, on the way to a support group, that’s a good chance for conversation.”

Direct services are offered for children who have been victims or witnesses of abuse.

DSS started a special group for Latinx women who are or have been in abusive situations. (“Latinx” is the term preferred by DSS.) The support group is trauma-informed, but also culturally informed, said Wallace. “We have to take cultural influences into account. We help Latinx survivors with immigration issues and social security by working with at-

torneys. We attempt to build trust.”

Elderly men and women who experience abuse are another special consideration. Walters said, “There are very specific dynamics involved in elder abuse. There may be financial exploitation, neglect of a parent’s physical needs by their adult child, and there can be co-dependency.

These people have a history of being a family, and women in particular feel it is their job to keep the family together, no matter what, even in the face of family violence. Some victims fear that if they report abuse, their caretaker will be taken away.”

Safety planning is a part of the help DSS can provide. “We try to provide options. … Sometimes, providing services for the elderly person or even for the caretaker, in partnership with Adult Services, can take the stress off the caretaker, which can help,” said Walters.

Another factor is that elderly men and women often don’t want to admit there is a problem, Wallace said.

“We talk with them about healthy relationships,” she said.

Prevention

Table Talk is a program that partners with the elderly communities in Fauquier County, an hour a week for six weeks. Participants play cards, games and participate in various activities while they talk in groups of 10 or 12. Facilitators lead discussions about healthy relationships, domestic violence and financial boundaries.

“We talk about what to do if you see something concerning, about intervening before something happens.

Participants can also talk one-on-one with an advocate,” Walters said.

Walters added, “At retirement communities, people became very isolated during COVID. When relationships get difficult, they don’t know what to do.”

At the other end of the generational spectrum, Safe Dates is a curriculum developed for students entering high school. Walters said, “We started at Liberty [High School] with a voluntary program. It was so well received, other schools wanted to do it too.”

She explained, “The program is not gender specific. Dating violence can happen to girls or boys. We do talk about consent, but we also address social media and how to be safe, how digital exploitation can come from it.” Safe Dates is offered to all Fauquier County ninth graders during health classes.

Wallace’s team works long hours and sees a lot of pain. A lot of their work is under the radar of the general public. Daniela Gamon Vargas, who works with one of the support groups, said, “I am happy I can make an impact, to be supportive of this part of their journey.”

Walters added, “We have a great team; we all just see the need.”

And Wallace said, “It’s worth every minute of effort to have this in Fauquier County.”

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | May 11, 2022

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Fauquier County tax rate is still too high To put it bluntly, the 2022 real estate tax rate imposed by Fauquier County is totally unacceptable. Our current bill is 20.9% over the 2021 bill, relatively comparable to the current Washington D.C., Arlington and Alexandria Consumer Price Index being up 7.3% over the last year (https://www.bls.gov/regions/ mid-atlantic/news-release/consumerpriceindex_washingtondc.htm), and the U.S. index up 8.5% (https:// www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi. pdf).

How can the board of supervisors justify this increase based on num-

bers like these? The BOS tried to shadow the tax growth pain by decreasing the rate to 90.3 cents, but that is not enough considering the large increase in property values.

Bottom line, this is nothing but a BOS money grab, and they are being greedy, thoughtless and without much consideration for the people of Fauquier County who will suffer from it. The BOS needs to be more responsible by reducing the tax rate even lower.

SAM FISHER IS BACK ATOP THE PODIUM Former FHS wrestler wins U.S. Open meet in Las Vegas

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

PHOTO COURTESY OF VIRGINIA TECH

A four-time state champ at Fauquier, Sam Fisher is excelling as a Virginia Tech sophomore.

Sam Fisher once again is in the wrestling spotlight.

Now a Virginia Tech sophomore, the former Fauquier High star captured the 86-kilogram (190 pounds) U20 freestyle championship on May 1 at the United States Marine Corps U.S. Open held in Las Vegas.

Fisher won six consecutive matches over two days en route to the crown. Fisher outscored his foes by a combined 60-9 on the strength

of four technical falls and two decisions.

In an interview with USA Wrestling following the final, Fisher said he’s been honing his craft by focusing on details. “When I do that, I’m a pretty damn good wrestler. I feel I did that the whole tournament,” he said. “I was just excited to end on a good note.”

Fisher is the only Fauquier County wrestler ever to win four Virginia High School League state championships, but he’s faced adjustments in college.

“My freshman year was rough, I was down...in a dry spell,” he recalled, pointing to a 0-6 record. “I lost most of those matches by one or

two points. It definitely was mentally frustrating, but it’s all part of the learning process.”

Fisher credits the coaching staff at Virginia Tech for the guidance and time to refocus this year while he was a redshirt.

“They were there for me the whole way to get me back on my feet. They have given me the tools to perform my best,” he said appreciatively.

His championship also advances him to the finals of the Junior World Team Trials June 3-5 in Geneva, Ohio. That event determines the US representative at the Junior World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, on Aug. 15-21.

‘I haven’t been prouder of a team in a very long time’ Clayton’s two goals lead LHS girls soccer over Sherando 3-1

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Earlier this spring, the Liberty High girls soccer team absorbed a spate of double-digit defeats.

The girls were overwhelmed by much more experienced teams. Rather than let those potentially devastating punches wreck their season, Liberty has not quit.

Improvements began to show, games grew closer and there was a confidence-boosting 1-1 tie with Millbrook. Then came a breakthrough with last week’s 3-1 home win over Sherando.

“So huge,” said coach Marc Costanzo. “The best part of the win was to see the smiles on their faces afterward. I haven’t been prouder of a team in a very long time.”

The Eagles took control of the match early and established a 2-0 margin by halftime.

Lilly Clayton opened the scoring, stealing the ball from a Warrior defender and sending a 25yard chip over the goalkeeper, who had left the line to cut down Clayton’s shooting angle.

Liberty used hustle to increase its lead to James Wood 10-1 2-0.

Carleigh Cameron Handley 9-1-1 played a ball over the top KETTLE RUN 6-3-2 of the defense.

A Warrior Millbrook 3-6-2 attempted to head the Sherando 3-8 ball out but deflected it FAUQUIER 2-7-2 backward where Clayton LIBERTY 1-8-1 ran onto the loose ball, creating a one-on-one opportunity. She capitalized with a shot into the lower right portion of the goal.

The Eagles’ third goal began with a long punt by goalkeeper Madison Lawhorn to midfield over a defender. Clayton collected the ball and dribbled before a defender knocked the ball out of bounds.

The Eagle alertly grabbed it and sent a quick throw in over the slow reacting defense.

Casey Serttas controlled the throw and tapped it in for an insurance score to make it 3-1 with 15 minutes to go.

Costanzo said Lawhorn also recorded several “great saves” to preserve Liberty’s leads.

“We had our struggles early in the season, but the girls stuck with it. We found the right positions and formation to maximize our abilities,” Costanzo said of the process.

‘JORDAN CAME OUT ON FIRE’ Kettle Run wins girls lacrosse showdown with Meridian 6-5

By Fred Hodge

Emilie Muma and the Cougars scored a huge win over James Monroe last week.

PHOTO BY JOSHUA JAKUM

Special to the Fauquier Times

Kettle Run’s girls lacrosse took a major step last Thursday toward guaranteeing a top two seed in the Region B postseason tournament.

The Cougars were unbeaten in region play along with opponent James Monroe entering the home game.

Host Kettle Run won a 6-5 squeaker by building a 5-2 halftime lead, then expanding it to 6-2 just 22 seconds into the second half. A persistent Yellow Jacket team fought back over the final 20plus minutes, but the Cougars held on.

“That was intense. I kept getting ‘Relax’ messages from my watch, so I’m sure it was pretty high,” Kettle Run coach Addy Foudray said with a big laugh, happy her blood pressure

had come down.

Kettle Run traveled to Falls Church Monday to play powerful Meridian, also unbeaten in league action. This time, Kettle Run could not stave off a potent Mustang attack in a 22-4 defeat. Meridian entered that contest almost averaging almost 20 goals an outing with a 10-1 overall record, outscoring foes 218-65.

Monday’s result moved Meridian to 5-0 in region play and dropped the Cougars to 4-1.

Meridian will be a decided favorite to defeat James Monroe next Monday to hand the Yellow Jackets their second league loss. If the Cougars sweep Culpeper and Fauquier in its two remaining region games, they will secure the No. 2 seed.

The Fauquier High boys lacrosse team notched two more lopsided wins last week, beating Eastern View 24-3 and Handley 19-8.

Fauquier also amassed 14 base hits May 3 for a 10-7 home win over Millbrook in another important encounter.

The victory, combined with Liberty’s 8-7, eight-inning loss to Sherando that night, propelled the Falcons into sole possession of first.

Fauquier and Liberty entered the game tied for the top spot at 6-2.

Lovell recorded three hits to two apiece for Katie Harrington (both doubles), Gilmore, Saulsbury and Swart. Saulsbury again was the winning pitcher in relief.

Liberty falls twice, Cougars win

Liberty fell out of the first-place tie with its two-game losing streak.

Sherando gained revenge in the

first defeat. Liberty had shocked the Warriors March 29 by erasing a 7-3 deficit entering the top of the seventh. A Katelynn Lewis grand slam fueled a five-run rally for an 8-7 win.

This time, Liberty held a 5-2 margin following five innings. Sherando narrowed the gap to 5-3 heading into the top of the seventh, scoring twice for a tie. In the top of the eighth, a leadoff home run and RBI double gave Sherando a 7-5 advantage.

Liberty answered with a run in the bottom of the inning and had runners in first and second with one out. A lineout to center accounted for the second out, with a runner doubled off second for a game-ending double play.

SOFTBALL, from page 17 On Monday against James Wood, the Eagles had problems against a steady diet of offspeed pitches. Liberty left nine runners on base and trailed 11-0 before scoring in the bottom of the seventh.

Elsewhere, Kettle Run established a 4-0 lead after three innings May 3 and held on for a 4-3 upset of host James Wood.

Amateur-apprentice on visitors’ visa turns 100th anniversary Gold Cup into a runaway victory What they say

Virginia Gold Cup winner Andi’amu leads the parade to the last fence in the four-mile Virginia Gold Cup. Last year’s winner Schoodic was second, Flaming Sword, third, the only three finishers from seven starters in the timber classic.

Freddie Procter coaxes comeback performance from 2019 classic winner Andi’amu for score in Saturday headliner

By Betsy Burke Parker

“I’m delighted to come out of the mud that was the Virginia Gold Cup with three winners.”

Special to the Times

Saturday’s 100th anniversary running of the Virginia Gold Cup may have been soggy and bleak and played to a crowd one-fifth the usual size, but history-making performances, start to finish, marked the spring’s richest steeplechase meet to carry the race into a second century.

Ballybristol Farm’s Andi’amu powered to victory in the $100,000 headliner, shrugging off the inch of rain that pelted the Great Meadow racecourse near The Plains all day May 7, relishing every meter of the four-mile marathon on ground left sodden and squishy, and jumping the 23 testing timber fences “for fun,” according to winning trainer Leslie Young.

“Andi’amu, a true gift and an honor to be in his presence.”

LESLIE YOUNG

PARKER HENDRIKS

She calls Andi’amu the comeback kid.

“He’d won here in 2019, but he pulled a tendon after (he went off course when leading in) the 2020 Gold Cup,” Young said of the French-bred that had won the 2019 classic en route to his Virginia and national timber titles that season. “We knew he was on the right track after Middleburg” – Andi’amu finished a strong second to Gold Cup post-time favorite Storm Team in the April 23 Middleburg Hunt Cup, his sole prep for a return to Gold Cup. Storm Team, off course when leading in the 2020 Virginia Gold Cup and, impossibly, again when leading in the 2021 International Gold Cup over the same course, was sent off at 3-1 in Satur-

Asked why they did (or didn’t) win the $100,000 headline Virginia Gold Cup, here’s what the riders had to report: Winner – Freddie Procter (Andi’amu): When I heard the forecast (for two solid days of rain) earlier this week, I was a happy man. Four miles in the mud? That’s like custom-made for Andi’amu.

2nd – Connor Hankin (Schoodic): We jumped the third-last upsides, but I was tracking (the winner) when he quickened away from us up the straight.

Second-best today. Second-best.

3rd – McLane Hendriks (Flaming Sword): I’d have to say this horse ran a really good race when you consider he’s a horse still with a condition (non-winners of three), and he met a full field of stakes horses today.

Pulled up after the water (19) – Tom Garner (Tomgarrow): My horse slipped coming away from the water jump, best look after him for another day. You go from hero to zero in one stride.

Pulled up after 15 before starting the final circuit – Harry Beswick (Shootist): Didn’t handle the ground.

Pulled up after 15 before starting the final circuit – Graham Watters (Storm Team); Not happy with the ground.

Pulled up after 14 – Barry Foley (First Friday): Hated the ground. day’s feature. Andi’amu was practically dismissed as fourth-choice at 7-1. International Gold Cup winner last fall, Tomgarrow was third-favorite.

Seven horses faced the starter, including last year’s race winner, Schoodic (Connor Hankin up.)

Twelve-year-old Andi’amu vied for the lead from the start, according to rider Freddie Procter fencing well and relishing every splashing step around the testing Great Meadow oval. Tomgarrow shadowed his stablemate starting the second, of four, miles, but Tomgarrow floundered as he approached the water jump, according to rider Tom Garner.

“He slipped, or maybe tripped, heading into the water jump there mid-course,” Garner explained.

“I knew it’s best to save him for another day,” and he pulled the horse up to protect against injury.

Andi’amu let out a notch, Procter said, with a “flier” over the water jump, five in front of Schoodic heading into the final two fences up the long Great Meadow homestretch, and 23 in front by the wire.

GOLD CUP, from page 19 “He loved it,” Procter said of Andi’amu’s sterling performance. “He loves the distance, and he loves the (soft) going. It was his race today.”

It was Andi’amu’s 11th career triumph, and one of three on the day for Young. Another Pennsylvania-based trainer, Keri Brion, won all four of the other races, a historic first for a female trainers. National Steeplechase Association racing secretary Bill Gallo confirms that Gold Cup is the only time women trainers have won all the races on a card.

It was Brion’s 31st birthday on Saturday. “What a perfect birthday present,” she said.

Meet the winning rider

Freddie Procter had just the one mount on Saturday.

He made it count.

An amateur-apprentice jockey, the English native had barely heard of the Virginia Gold Cup eight weeks ago, and he’d never ridden a race over timber since that’s a uniquely American twist on the steeplechase game.

Procter got a phone call mid-March from Tom Garner, an English pro in his sixth season on the U.S. circuit.

“Tom called me looking for an amHORSE BRIEFS, from page 19 and sale of the works of the late Sam Savitt and Kathleen Friedenberg, the annual horn blowing contest, a reception and more.

ateur to come to the U.S. to ride for Leslie Young,” Procter considered the offer, did a little research and discovered Young is current leading trainer in America. “Tom called me just before the Cheltenham Festival (mid-March.)

“Ten days later I’m landing at JFK.” Procter, 23, grew up in Dorset. His father was an amateur jump jockey, now operating Glanvilles Stud in Somerset in southwest England.

Procter studied at Cardiff University but traded school to ride out for trainer Will Biddick in Somerset in the hopes of picking up some rides.

He’d won two races over fences in England, but Procter’s win percentage took flight when he arrived in late March: he’s won seven races in six weekends in the U.S., including his

first stakes mount, and win, aboard Tomgarrow at My Lady’s Manor.

He lives and works on the farm where Young trains in West Grove, Pennsylvania, the old Ashwell Stable of Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard.

“I’m in his old bedroom, actually,” Procter said. “There’s still one of his win pictures on the sideboard.

It’s pretty cool to be there.”

Procter followed up his Gold Cup win Saturday with victory in the featured Winterthur Cup timber stake in Delaware Sunday, partnering another French-bred for the Collins-Young team — Mercoeur.

Garner) won the $75,000 grade 2 Semmes memorial hurdle stake by 54 lengths, one of just two to finish a race marred by interference, a stewards’ inquiry, a claim of foul and two horses off course.

When vying for the lead in the final furlongs, City Dreamer (Graham Watters) and 6-5 favorite Going Country (Parker Hendriks) bumped shoulders and both cut a beacon on the north rail turn. As those two pulled up - arguing bitterly and each blaming the other, Redicean inherited the lead and drew off to win by 54 lengths from the only other finisher, Belfast Banter (Barry Foley.)

“It’s an unfortunate way to win, but we’ll take it,” said trainer Leslie Young.

Young also saddled steeplethon winner Bodes Well (Garner,) winning over Great Meadow’s cross-country ‘chase course for the second-straight time.

Keri Brion scored the opener with Baltimore Kid (Hendriks) and the allowance with HowyaBud (Hendriks.)

Both horses are Irish-born, sired by group 1 classic winner Milan, a son of leading sire Sadlers Wells.

OBITUARIES

OBITUARIES Fauquier Resident

Phoebe Patton Dies at Age 107

Centenarian Phoebe Jones Patton, age 107, passed away peacefully at her home in Midland, Virginia, Monday evening, May 2, 2022. She was born on September 22, 1914 in Casanova, Virginia to the late Watt Coak Jones and Mary Dunn Jones.

She was predeceased in death by brothers, Samuel Jones, John Coak Jones, Robert Lee Jones, infant sister Ada Jones and in 2009 by her beloved husband of 70 years, Allie Woodrow Patton.

Phoebe lost her mother when she was just 17 days old and it was decided that Grandmother Jones and two beloved aunts would care for her in Baltimore. Later, as a young girl, she returned to Casanova to be with her brothers and father.

She always said she never gave her father, Watt, any trouble except when she eloped with the handsome love of her life, Woodrow . He could be a charmer and Mr. Jones soon learned to admire and respect his new son-in-law. From the beginning, Phoebe supported her husband’s ambitions with quiet fortitude, patience and humility. They worked tirelessly at Elk Mount Farm, the family dairy business, raised six children and cared for numerous close relatives.

“Miss Phoebe”, as some fondly called her, was well known in Fauquier County for her kind, caring nature and love of animals.

One of her greatest joys was bottle feeding and nurturing young dairy calves. She was especially proud of their rare Holstein triplets, “Willie, Millie and Tillie” who were featured in the Fauquier Fall Farm Tour.

Her passion was also in the gardens at Elk Mount Farm and she often delighted visitors with her gifts of fresh vegetables and flowers to go. Woodrow shared her love of plants and flowers especially in their golden years. He landscaped a little paradise for them across the road and named it “The Rock”. They enjoyed peaceful days there away from the stress of farm life and often had family picnics under the open air pavilion. They also made time to travel together whether it was a simple trip to Lowes or bigger deals like a Caribbean Cruise with friends.

Phoebe was very popular and was known for her true Southern hospitality, great cooking and delicious corn pudding.

She had a way of making everyone feel like family.

In her later years as a widow, she enjoyed the company of their beautiful Bluetick Coonhound, Watt, and adopted her granddaughter’s sweet rescue dog, Sophie. When she and her caregivers weren’t spoiling the dogs, she was hosting Wednesday luncheons with friends or attending senior luncheons at church and Sunday services.

Her father taught her to play a fierce game of checkers at a young age and she continued to challenge competitors of all ages well into her centenarian years. She also liked modeling in the annual Fauquier “Silhouettes of Spring” Fashion Show for cancer survivors.

Phoebe had an uncanny ability to inspire others without really recognizing the gift she had. When asked the secret to her longevity, she would sometimes say “faith, family and friends”.

Even after the pandemic limited her opportunities to get out, she remained faithful to her church and often watched services from home.

In 2020, she was particularly pleased that Elk Mount was still a working farm after being in the Patton family for a century.

Holsteins that once grazed in the fields have been replaced, with a growing herd of Angus cattle.

Phoebe is survived by six children and spouses, Robert R. Patton and Kay C. Patton, Ann Patton Garmon and Stephen E. Garmon, Mary Allen Lomax and Clyde M. Lomax, William C Patton. and Jacqueline E. Patton, Sally Patton Baffa and John H. Baffa of Fauquier County and Eleanor Patton Goodwin and John L. Goodwin of Fairfax County; ten grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, one great-great grandson as well as nieces and nephews. The family would like to express our deep gratitude to the outstanding caregivers who contributed to her happiness and good health.

Phoebe’s viewing was on Monday, May 9, 2022 from 3-5 and 7-9 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, Va. Funeral services was held on Tuesday, May 10th, 2022 at 11am at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, 12714 Elk Run Rd., Midland, Va. followed by interment in the church cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church or to Fauquier SPCA, 9350 Rogues Rd, Midland, Va. 22728

Wallace “Wally” Garrison Wright Wallace Garrison Wright (89) of Nokesville, Virginia died peacefully Tuesday, April 26, 2022.

Wally was born in the Bronx, NY on February 17, 1933, to the late Edward Spencer Wright and Anna McTeer Wright.

Wally attended New York City Public Schools where he learned trumpet at an early age while delivering morning papers and working after school for a small city grocer. Wally moved to Manassas, Virginia as a teen, where he became a national member in the Future Farmers of America Band plus helped his Osbourn High School band teacher set-up a band program for the then Brentsville High School in Nokesville and later graduated from Osbourn High School.

A loving husband, Dad, Uncle, and Papa, he was formerly recognized as an AOG church trumpet player, a local custom homes builder in Prince William and Fauquier Counties, a model railroader, a member of the Fredericksburg Homing Pigeon Club, a wood crafter, model hobbyist, and always an animal lover—hosting dogs, cats, hens, horses, cattle, mules and a large flock of pigeons that gracefully circled the Nokesville sky. Wally’s ambition and interests were enjoyed by many.

Proceeded in death were brothers, Clarence Wright (sister-in-law Florence) and Rev. Edward Wright, sister Ruth Drummond and special niece Ruth Ann Newcomer.

Survivors are his loving wife of 70 years, Pauline Newcomer Wright, daughters Paula Wright (Nokesville), Nancy House and husband, Wade House (Nokesville), granddaughters Lindsay House (Gainesville) and Sarah House (Nokesville), sister-in-laws Rev. Libby Wright (Hampton) Ann Erwin (Goldvein) Hilda Newcomer (Harrisonburg) Martha Newcomer (Scottsville) and many nieces and nephews.

The family extends their sincere gratitude to friends and family for their support of thoughts and prayers through Wally’s dementia journey, and a most special thanks to English Meadows Front Royal Lavender Hills (formerly Fox Trail Senior Living) for their excellent loving care.

Gary L. Allison Gary L, Allison “Red”, 45, of Marshall, VA passed away unexpectedly at his home on April 30, 2022. We believe he was immediately greeted at the pearly gates by our beloved Grandma of which he called “Ma”, where we are sure she asked if she could fix him something to eat.

Gary was genuine to a fault and had a fantastic sense of humor. His laugh was truly infectious. If he loved you, then you knew it. He would often go out of his way to do things for the people that he loved, and we knew that he always had our backs. If he didn’t like you, then you also knew it and he probably offered to have you “come up the mountain to square up”. We never encouraged anyone to take him up on that offer. He unapologetically lived his life and that is one of the things we loved most about him.

Graduating from the school of hard knocks did not hold Gary back. He was a highly skilled carpenter and jack of all trades his entire life. He took pride in his work and there was not much he couldn’t do. Very few worked as hard as he did.

Gary loved hunting, fishing, all of his animals (we are willing to sell the snakes) and the Washington Redskins (we don’t know why). He also loved his sons Gary Lee and Craig so very much, even when they all would take turns trying to find out who had the hardest head. He was proud of the “stand-up” men that they are turning out to be.

Gary is survived by his two sons Gary Lee Lawrence and Craig Allison. His mother Thelma Allison and father Ronnie Dawson.

His brother Eric Dawson and sisters Linsey Herrick and Elizabeth Hey, and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at Moser Funeral Home on Saturday, May 14, 2022, from 4-6pm. The family will also be hosting A Celebration of Life Service that will take place at the Marshall Ruritan Club on Friday, June 3, 2022 at 5pm.

Frederick F. Figall Frederick F. Figall, 79, of Culpeper, died Tuesday, May 3, 2022, at his home. He was born April 15, 1943 in New York to the late Steve and Evelyn Figall.

Frederick was a talented photographer, who won many awards, and continued to take photos in nature even after his retirement. A God fearing man, he was a good husband and father, an animal lover, and was kind to all people. Frederick collected fountain pens and watches. He enjoyed antique shopping and going to car shows, and particularly liked British cars.

Frederick is survived by his wife of 36 years, Mary “Betty” Figall; two daughters, Maija Kraber and Leena Craig (Steve); one stepdaughter, Lisa Puffenberger (Brian); and three grandchildren, Austin, Amanda, and Emily.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by one half brother, Gary Grimsley.

An online guestbook and tribute wall are available at www. foundandsons.com Found and Sons Funeral Chapel of Culpeper is serving the family.

Robert W. Dennis Robert W. Dennis, “Mutt”, 88 of Warrenton, passed away Friday May 6, 2022 at Fauquier Hospital.

Mutt was a former member of the Fauquier Springs Country Club.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Lois M. Dennis; two brothers, Gene and Buddy Dennis; a sister, Ann Dennis and a niece Patsy Williams.

He is survived by his four daughters; Cindy S. Fincham (Charlie) of Amissville, VA. Sandy D. Miller of Rehoboth, DE., Crystal A. Dennis of Remington, VA. and Pamela Bragg (Danny) of Rehoboth, DE. And six grandchildren.

The family would like to extend an invitation to anyone looking to celebrate the life of Mr. Dennis to their home at 88 Piedmont St., Warrenton, on Saturday May 14th from 12-2:00 pm.

The family requests that expressions of sympathy take the form of donations in Mutt’s name to Warrenton Volunteer Fire and Rescue, 167 W. Shirley Ave., Warrenton, VA 20186 or to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, www.bcrf.org

Places of Worship CHILDREN AT FUNERALS

Grace Episcopal Church

Should children be allowed to attend funerals? This question has troubled the bereaved for centuries.

Many factors enter into the decision-making process, including cultural background, the age and emotional maturity of the child, and how close the child was to the deceased. For starters, infants will gain nothing from a funeral and can be a distraction to others if they become fussy. Toddlers and preschoolers will often be bored and unable to sit through a long service.

School-aged children have a better understanding of the permanence of death and are at a more appropriate age to attend. However, it may be best to ask the children in question whether or not they would like to attend the funeral.

There are many factors to consider, but most agree that, generally, children should be given the chance to grieve and say their goodbyes. The funeral directors at MOSER FUNERAL HOME are highly trained professionals who are qualified to care for your family at your time of loss. Our spacious facility with ample parking offers two chapels, family rooms, parlors, and an on-site crematory. For more information, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

Sewer usage is charged based on the lower of actual metered consumption or the average December – February monthly consumption plus 2,000 gallons. For all new residential customers that have not established a December – February average consumption, sewer volume charges will be capped at the lesser of actual consumption or 9,000 gallons.
