Major Warner named next superintendent of Fauquier County schools

By Jill Palermo

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County School Board has chosen a familiar face to lead the school division as its next superintendent. Deputy Superintendent Major Warner will be promoted to the school division’s top job on July 1.

The school board announced Warner’s hiring during a special Wednesday, May 24 meeting. Warner, 54, is a native of Fauquier County and will be the school division’s second Black superintendent. Dallas Johnson served as the school division’s first Black superintendent in 1998, according to Tara Helkowski, a school division spokeswoman.

“We are extremely pleased and excited for the selection of Dr. Major Warner as our next superintendent of

Fauquier County Public Schools,” School Board Chairman Stephanie Litter-Reber said in a statement. “Selecting a superintendent is the most important decision the school board makes, and we know that we have selected a visionary, inclusive and results-driven leader who shares our values and expectations of openness and transparency, academic excellence and school safety.”

Warner will take over for Superintendent David Jeck, who has led the school division for 10 years. Jeck announced he planned to step down in April. He will remain employed with the school division for another year to oversee the transition of the school division’s middle schools, two of which are currently being renovated and expanded.

Alleged drug dealer arrested after 13-year-old overdoses

With help from a white calf, a family farming tradition continues in Broad Run

Special to the Fauquier Times

The statue of a large, life-like white bull in the field on Glanamman Farm on U.S. 29 north of Warrenton has become a popular sight, if not a landmark. Often decked out in seasonal holiday decorations, hats or flags, the bull gets your attention.

But now, there is another white bull – born at Glanamman Farm in late February – that is thriving at Fauquier Farm in Broad Run, off U.S. 29 a few miles further north.

Soon to be weaned, he is growing every day and is easily recognized among the brown and white Herefords populating the fields above the highway and Beverley’s Mill Road.

Staff Reports An 18-year-old Ashburn man was being held without bond after the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office arrested and charged him in connection with a 13-year-old girl’s recent non-fatal overdose on LSD and other drugs.

The sheriff’s office received a report on Tuesday, May 23, that a 13-yearShayan old girl had Seifzadeh overdosed on illegal narcotics at a private residence. The drugs that caused the overdose were identified as LSD, a potent psychedelic drug, and psilocybin, also known as “shrooms,” a powerful hallucinogenic, according to 1st Sgt. Dawn Arrington, a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman.

Elizabeth Melson enters the 28th District state Senate race

By Shannon Clark

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Independent Elizabeth Melson, 42, of Rappahannock County, has entered the 28th District state Senate race on a platform that includes allowing gun-owners the right to “constitutional carry” and restricting abortions at 20 weeks.

Melson, who served time in federal prison on a 2005 drug conviction, is also advocating for criminal justice reforms, better school funding and greater access to mental health services and help with addictions.

“I have experience building coalitions around issues with people all across the political spectrum, and I think that’s an approach that needs to be taken to the General Assembly,” Melson said in a recent interview with the Fauquier Times. “I’m also running because I want to inspire other people – women, moms – to step up, because so many times there’s so many great people that would make great representatives ... but they feel like they’re not qualified.”

Melson is a farm and farmers market manager, a volunteer at Rappahannock Shenandoah Warren Regional Jail and the co-founder and former president of FairVote Virginia, which advocates for ranked choice voting.

Melson is one of four candidates running for the seat, including incumbent and GOP nominee Sen. Bryce Reeves; Democrat Jason Ford, who works as a center manager for

Rappahannock Goodwill Industries; and independent Tawana Campbell, a small businesswoman from Spotsylvania County. The district covers the southern half of Fauquier County, part of Spotsylvania County and all of Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties.

It is more than 72% white and has a “strong Republican” lean, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.

Melson was found guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine in 2005, following years of drug addiction.

When she was 24, she was sentenced to 63 months in prison and five years of supervised release. Melson used her time in prison to complete her undergraduate degree and earned a certificate in culinary arts.

While her felony drug conviction and prison sentence were not initially mentioned on her campaign website, Melson told The Fauquier Times she is not hiding her story and that her experience has helped influence her stance on prison reform and increased access to mental health resources for all.

“If you Google me, it’s the first thing that pops up,” Melson said of her criminal record. “I’m not hiding anything, and I can add it if people think it would be helpful.”

Melson recently updated her website to include information about her conviction.

If elected, Melson said she wants to help change the criminal justice

system by providing alternative programs to incarceration and addiction treatment for non-violent offenders. Melson herself went through a Federal Bureau of Prisons Residential Drug Abuse Program. Melson served 50 months in prison and was released one year early to supervised release. She had her rights restored by former governor Terry McAuliffe in 2015, according to a story about her on the Families Against Mandatory Minimums website.

“Right now, the prison system is overcharging prisoners and making money off of them,” Melson said. “I saw it when I was sentenced. It was insane the amount of money it cost to make a phone call or to buy something.”

If elected, Melson said she will support reproductive policies that offer support for new and expecting parents and continued access to abortion for “safe, legal and rare terminations,” according to her website.

Melson said she is in favor of reducing the availability of abortions in Virginia to 20 weeks. Currently, abortion is legal in Virginia up to 26 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. Bordered by West Virginia and Kentucky – both which have near total abortion bans except for medical emergencies – and North Carolina, which has a 12-week ban, Virginia remains one of the few states in the South that still allows women access to an abortion further along in their pregnancies.

Melson said she supports “constitu-

Elizabeth Melson tional carry,” which would allow legal gun owners to conceal their firearms without a permit. Virgina requires a permit to carry a concealed handgun.

Residents who are at least 18 and legally allowed to have a handgun can open carry without a permit.

Melson said she agrees with the state’s “red-flag law,” which allows residents or police to petition a judge to remove guns from people deemed a danger to themselves or others. But she said she wants law enforcement to coordinate with mental health services.

“We need greater access to mental health services so that if someone is struggling, they can get help immediately,” Melson said. “Ensuring that there are opportunities for recovery for all people is so important to ensuring safe communities.”

Opponents of data center sprawl picket industry conference ‘Unrelenting expansion’ in Northern Va. impacts environment, air, water quality, protesters say

Warrenton Town Councilman David McGuire, in blue shirt, greets Tim Cywinski, of the Sierra Club of Virginia, during a May 24 protest against the rapid expansion of data centers in Northern Virginia outside Bisnow’s DICE East data center conference at Tysons Corner.

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

On the fifth floor of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Tysons, it was all business as 500 data center operators, developers and suppliers shared problems and solutions at an industry conference.

But out in front. 22 protesters waved sharp-witted signs and voiced noisy chants to raise awareness about problems caused by the region’s growing number of data centers.

The message from the residents of Fauquier, Prince William, Fairfax and Loudoun counties was straightforward: Data centers are sucking up vast amounts of electric power to the detriment of the state’s climate goals, environment and community life. The protesters said they chose Bisnow’s DICE EAST data center conference to deliver their message that the rapid pace of data center growth in Northern Virginia is unsustainable. Chanting, they put it succinctly: “Hey, hey, ho, ho, data centers have gotta go!”

Previously, protests have erupted at public meetings, at data center sites and at open houses hosted by wouldbe data center operators, but Wednesday, May 24 was the first time the

group took its message to the industry in general. That said, there was virtually no interaction between the two groups, as it appeared the data center industry experts at the conference did not know the protesters were on the sidewalk out front.

Joining the protesters was Warrenton Town Councilman David McGuire, who had been on the losing side of the town council’s 4-3 February vote to allow an Amazon data center in his town. “My politics are conservative,” he said, “but the environment is non-partisan.”

McGuire said his political hero was President Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican, outdoorsman and conservationist known for creating five national parks and numerous other

historic landmarks.

McGuire said that as a veteran who had served in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was especially concerned that a huge complex of data centers, known as the Prince William Digital Gateway, chose to locate its buildings as close as a few hundred feet from the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

“As a veteran, as a historian, I’m really upset about that. And anybody that tries to do that is not thinking for the future, for future citizens and for our heritage.”

Asked why he was there protesting, McGuire said, “Those that want to get into public service have to listen to the people who voted for them.” This November, all seats on the boards of supervisors in Fauquier and Prince William counties will be up for election as will the Ward 5 seat on the Warrenton Town Council. Several new data centers are planned in both counties.

Warrenton Town Councilman Jay Heroux, who introduced the motion to approve the Amazon data center in Warrenton and was part of the 4-3 majority that voted for it, will be on the Nov. 7 ballot to fulfill former town councilman Kevin Carter’s term on the council, which expires on Dec. 31, 2024. Heroux was appointed in September 2022 after Carter was appointed to the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors.

Running against Heroux will be Ward 5 resident Eric Gagnon, who opposed the Amazon project.

McGuire asked that Fauquier and Warrenton citizens get engaged, especially on at least four new data center projects proposed in Fauquier County. “You have to ask your candidates what they are voting for and hold their feet to the fire,” he said.

Anti-data center activists in Prince William and Fauquier counties have been on the losing end of fiercely pitched battles over data center development. In Prince William, the main fight was over a comprehensive plan amendment paved the way for 27.6 million square feet of data center space next to the Manassas battlefield. The board of supervisors approved the CPA last Nov. 2.

In Warrenton, the 220,000-squarefoot Amazon data center was contested for a year by citizens and groups worried about its appropriateness in

the small historic town, its location at the town’s northern gateway and the noise its cooling system might make.

It was approved by the town council on Feb. 14, and that approval is now the subject of a lawsuit.

But the protests continue, as more data center projects are in the pipeline in Loudoun, Prince William and Fauquier counties. That fact provoked various local organizations, including Protect Fauquier, the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Sierra Club, The Coalition to Protect Prince William County and others, to send members to the data center protest in Tysons Corner. “We can talk about the technology; we can talk about the energy grid, but what we’re really getting at is when we build more data centers, this unrelenting expansion that we’ve been seeing, it’s going to impact people’s lives,” said Tim Cywinski, communications chief of the Virginia Chapter of the Sierra Club. “It’s going to impact children’s future. It’s going to impact air quality and water quality or water resources that matter.”

Julie Bolthouse, director of land use with Piedmont Environmental Council, said, “We’re protesting this conference to raise awareness about the industry and our concerns about it.”

She cited impact on the electrical grid, which Dominion Energy has said is stressed by data centers that currently consume 21% of the state’s energy.

Due to the projected rapid growth in energy requirements, Dominion has suggested it will need to place more reliance on existing and new coal – and gas-burning generation plants.

That, in turn, she said, will affect Virginia’s clean energy goals.

She noted that PJM Interconnect, the operator of the electric grid in 13 mid-Atlantic states and the District of Columbia, projected 5% annual growth and a 23-gigawatt increase in summer peak loads by 2028.

“That is the equivalent of the usage of New York City,” she said.

Dominion has also suggested options that include purchasing out-ofstate power and spending billions for new transmission lines to move that power, she said.

Elena Schlossberg, president of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, complained that the costs of building new transmission lines to serve data centers will be borne by ratepayers, not the data centers themselves.

“These are all data center extension cords that we are paying for,” she said. “Because our position is that citizens should not be bearing the brunt and sacrificing our cultural and natural resources for one load customer.”

She called for a hiatus in data center construction while a study is done of the effects. “We are asking for a pause until we understand the impacts to our grid, the impacts to our water, the impacts to our communities and our homes,” she said.

Some cars passing on the street honked their horns in support.

A compost pile miracle How a local farmer found his wedding ring a decade after it was lost

By Aimee O’Grady Contributing Writer

Jesse Straight has his hands in a lot of things. As a farmer, he can regularly be found moving or processing livestock, fixing farm equipment, mending fences, gardening, constructing trails through the farm and so much more – all with his hands.

When the office worker transitioned to a full-time farmer and launched Whiffletree Farm in 2009, his hands began to change. The constant manual labor made them stronger and thicker. A few years later, his wedding ring was noticeably tighter.

“It got to the point that I wasn’t sure I would be able to remove it at the end of the day,” he recalled. He turned to local jeweler, Carter and Spence, to enlarge the band.

“I may have requested that it be enlarged too much,” Straight said, because at the end of a long workday in 2013, he realized his ring was missing.

Thinking back on the activities of

The found ring remained on the top of Straight’s truck even though it had been driven more than 30 miles.

the day, he couldn’t pinpoint the moment the ring fell off.

“My best guess was that it fell off while processing chickens,” he said.

The remains from processing end up in a long, caterpillar-like compost mound on the farm. Comprised of wood chips, old livestock bedding, feathers and more, sifting through the mix to look for the ring wasn’t an option, and frankly, Straight said he didn’t want to. “You need to let the pile cook and biodegrade for a while before you want to go looking through it.”

For Straight, the ring was a lost

cause … again.

Back in 2005, just two weeks after getting married, Straight and his wife Liz were vacationing in the Outer Banks when his ring came off in the ocean. Certain it was lost forever, he replaced it. But in 2013, he just moved on with his busy farm life.

Then a series of seemingly impossible events occurred.

A few days ago, some ducks needed to be collected 30 miles from the farm. The car Straight would have taken wasn’t available, so he hopped in a rarely used farm truck. Straight said he rarely drives the truck, but

his friend Kal had used it four days before to move some compost to a garden – – old compost as it turned out, by about a decade.

While moving the compost, Kal found a metal ring and put it on the roof of the truck’s cab to investigate further. He then promptly forgot about it.

Kal used the truck to move the compost. Then it was driven again by Straight to collect the ducks. All with the ring sitting on the roof of the cab.

After returning home with the ducks, Straight’s son Jonah happened to hop in the bed of the truck to help unload the ducks. While up there, he noticed the ring, which was still on the roof of the cab. He handed it to his dad.

Straight said he stared incredulously at the ring, while the seemingly impossible series of events began to unfold in his mind.

It was, indeed, his wedding band.

Ironically, Liz had purchased some ring cleaner just days prior and set about cleaning the ring, which slid easily back onto Jesse’s finger.

Next time Jesse visits the Outer Banks, he will be certain to keep his eyes open for the return of the first ring.

Whiffletree Farm is located at 8717 Springs Road in Warrenton.

A new generation takes the lead at Fauquier Farm CLIFFORD, from page 1 Another difference is that he has a name – Clifford – rather than an ear tag. He is owned by Tyler and Katie Crowe Newman. They live on Fauquier Farm and operate Fauquier Farm LLC there.

Clifford had a rough start. His mother, one of the Newman’s Charolais-cross cattle, died while delivering the calf due to prolapse, complicated by the fact that Clifford weighed about 125 pounds Fortunately, Rob Farmer of Cross Mountain Cattle, who leases Glanamman Farm for his herd, found Clifford “leaning against a hay ring. Rob got him in, tuned him and got him going,” recalled Tyler Newman. The calf was brought to Fauquier Farm, where he was cared for and bottle-fed until he was old enough to start grazing with the herd.

Due to all of the human attention required to raise him, Clifford is not afraid of people. He has become a favorite of the families living on the farm, their friends and neighbors. He likes to play and is a treat to watch.

A family business

The Fauquier Farm LLC website notes that the farm itself dates back to 1951, the year Harold and Shirley Kube came to the county and started a cattle operation. The property passed to their son, Robert F. “Bob” Kube, who, along with cattle farming, was a local homebuilder and real estate appraiser.

Next in line was his daughter Kim Kube Crowe, who lives on the farm with her husband Daryl. The Crowes’ daughter, Katie, was 2 when her family moved to Fauquier Farm. Growing up, she was active in 4-H and helped on the farm. After graduating from the University of Mary Washington, she became a kindergarten teacher at P. B. Smith Elementary in Warrenton.

After high school, Tyler Newman trained as a diesel mechanic and worked for his father’s trucking company in Marshall.

“But the farming bug was itching me so bad. In 2018, I went to work part-time at Fauquier Farm and went full time in September 2022,” he said.

“And I’ve loved every second of it. Bob Kube calls this place ‘a little slice of heaven,’ and that’s what it means to us, too.”

Katie and Tyler Newman founded Fauquier Farm LLC two years ago. Both in their early 20s, Tyler and Katie had been close friends for over a decade before marrying last October.

The focus of Fauquier Farm LLC is selling freezer beef and fresh eggs produced on the farm.

Katie Newman handles customer contact, setting up butcher dates and connecting with people on the internet. Her mother Kim assists with marketing and outreach.

Tyler Newman is responsible for feeding and maintaining the animals, keeping records on cattle weights and gains and hauling stock to the processing facility in Maryland. There is a lot of planning involved.

“We have a certain number of steers that will be ready at a certain date,” said Tyler Newman.

“We try to account for the number of halves we will get and try to sell those halves before the delivery date.”

Rather than have customers drive to Maryland to pick up their beef, Tyler goes up early in the morning and brings it back to the farm for pickup.

“The freezer beef business has given us a good outlet for our steers,” he explained. “The cattle market and stockyards really dock the red-andwhite (Hereford) cattle because of their color, not that they aren’t as good as certified Black Angus beef. They’ve really just sold their market.” The difference can be 10 or 15 cents a pound.

Operating their own business has given the Fauquier Farm LLC the opportunity “to show people that Hereford beef tastes as good, or better, than any other place you go,” Tyler Newman said “We can get the price our calves deserve and selling off the farm gives us a chance to capture some of those dollars lost at the yards.”

Calving happens twice a year. In the spring, about a dozen calves are born, and in the fall, about 24. They are weaned at six or seven months.

A statue of a white bull along the north side of U.S. 29 outside Warrenton was decorated for Memorial Day. The top four or six bull calves in the group are put up for sale when they are 14 to 16 months old.

Because of the quality of the herd, 4-H members frequently buy their cattle from Fauquier Farm LLC. “We actually had a steer that we sold to a 4-H’er that won the Reserve Grand Championship at this year’s Show and Sale,” said Tyler Newman. “We were really proud of that.”

The future

Tyler and Katie Newman will continue to build on the farming operation, using tried-and-true traditions, combined with new technology that enables them to reach new customers. “Bob Kube has helped me a lot and has given us a great opportunity,” said Tyler. “We share the same passion about farming, and he has made me feel like a part of something here.”

The future looks good. And what about Clifford?

“Tyler, Clifford is in the newspaper,”Katie Newman said. “That’s it. He has got to stay.” Tyler Newman agreed. “So, he will be a lawnmower here for the rest of his life, hanging out with the cows.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A thank you from a willing ‘ friend’ of the Warrenton Post Office I would like to extend a public welcome to Warrenton’s new postmistress, Monica Prater.

I had the good fortune of sitting down with her this morning for a chat about the notion of establishing a “Friends of the Warrenton Post Office” to help with the worrisome, eroding physical condition of our beautiful and historic Main Street branch building that has served as an important nerve-center of our community for decades.

I’m delighted to report that I walked away from our meeting thoroughly impressed with our two-week new postmistress and convinced that her hopeful outlook on what she plans to accomplish

here includes restoring the Main Street facility to its former glory.

There is a lot to do, and it won’t happen quickly (or easily), but everyone should be on the lookout for the coming improvements. There may or may not be a place for a “Friends” group as of yet, but for those of us who care, we can take comfort knowing that we now have a friend in the postmistress’s office.

P.S. A hearty “thank you” to the Francis Fauquier Garden Club for their many years of dedication to keeping the Post Office flowers blooming!

JOHN ALBERTELLA Warrenton

Local VFW offers thanks for recent Poppy Drive I am writing to thank the residents of Warrenton for their generosity during the Robert E. Laing Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9835 Memorial Day Poppy Drive this past weekend. Our tables at Giant, Safeway and Walmart were staffed by our post members and received over $8,000 in donations. This gave us over $12,000 when added to the Veterans Day Poppy Drive for 2022-23.

These funds will be used to make donations to local charities, such as the Fauquier Free Clinic, Fauquier Food Bank and Hero’s Bridge to name a few. We also use the funds to provide awards to the winners of our Patriots’ Pen, Voice of Democracy, first responders and Scout of the Year programs.

It is always wonderful to hand out poppies and talk with people during these events, whether they are fellow veterans, spouses/family members of veterans or just people who want to show their support for veterans. I personally enjoy when I am able to explain the meaning behind the use of the poppy to remember our fallen comrades.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone who showed their generosity!

ROBERT “TONY” LUNN Commander, Robert E. Laing VFW Post 9835 Warrenton

Racist flyers belong in the trash A fringe, out-of-state group named The New Loyal White Knights has been distributing flyers, dropping them in driveways in the Hume/Orlean area. The message is different than other pamphlet drops, but the purpose is the same: sowing racial division. This is, literally and figuratively, littering, and, like all unwanted trash, the proper place for such tracts and their sentiments is the landfill.

We thank Sheriff Falls and his team for their speedy attention to this incident and their ongoing investigation, and we await the results.

CONWAY PORTER President, Fauquier County NAACP

A new look for our Warrenton home We live in a lovely neighborhood with historic homes all around. We were preparing to paint the exterior of our house and thought we ought to at least consult our neighbor across the street who would wake up to our new color each morning. Ken Alm is that neighbor, and Ken takes great interest in the neighborhood. So, we invited Ken over, and he was the first to review the four colors we were considering.

After a brief (but learned) evaluation, Ken signed his name to the color he preferred: “Smokey Blue.”

We assured him we were going to invite others, but his selection might be considered “special.”

After collecting 37 other opinions scattered among the four choices, we felt we were fast approaching a decision. But you know, Ken’s signature on the color sample kept beckoning. We almost reached out to our family dentist, Dr. Tom Sentz, as he had expressed a strong opinion about the original color of the house, but we thought

SUBMITTED

The Straights’ home painted “Smokey Blue.” he was probably too busy with his sadistic trade of drilling and yanking teeth and selling fine art.

Anyway, he only drives by the house each day on his way to work — Ken lives right across the street! So, if you don’t like the new color, blame it on Ken Alm. P.S After 48 tubes of caulk, a half-gallon of glazing compound and 66 gallons of paint, JFReyes Painting should be congratulated on a job very well done.

MIKE STRAIGHT Warrenton

Elections really do matter As a resident of the Marshall District, I see hundreds of campaign signs from the two candidates running in the June 20 primary for the Republican nomination in the race for the Marshall seat on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors.

The signs are just one indication that the election for the Marshall seat will be hotly contested.

Last Tuesday, in what was a wonderful display of how democracy is supposed to work, the Orlean Volunteer Fire Department held a candidates’ night for all three gentlemen who are hoping to be elected in November. There were approximately 200 people there, a very sizeable turnout for a local election that is six months away. Jim Mitchell and Reagan Washer, who are competing in the Republican primary, and Mike Focazio, an independent who will be on the Nov. 7 ballot, were there. It was great that the audience was able to hear from all the candidates.

The candidates did a great job explaining why they were running, answering questions from the audience, and, in a pleasing show of transparency, admitting when they didn’t have all the answers as was the case with broadband connectivity. They were all very respectful of each

other, and the entire affair was very civilized.

The three candidates come from very different backgrounds. Jim Mitchell, the founder and owner of a successful paving company, believes that his business experience and focus on providing more services will enhance economic development in the county and “keep small businesses from moving out.”

Regan Washer, a small business owner and self-described conservative Republican, lives a rural lifestyle with his wife on a small farm and wants to “maintain our way of life” in the county.

And Mike Focazio, an expert in water resource management with significant Fauquier County experience, has spent most of his adult life focused on conservation and preservation. His top priority as supervisor will be to protect and preserve Fauquier County, a position also supported by the other two candidates. And for those who have been wondering, Focazio campaign signs will start showing up later for the general election cycle.

Democracy at all levels – local, state and federal – depends on voters exercising their right to vote in an informed way. I would encourage ev-

eryone to really understand who is running for the supervisor spots throughout the county, especially the new candidates in the three districts where the current incumbents are not running. The board of supervisors makes decisions that most impact our lives, including how much development is allowed, the quality of our schools and how much we pay in property taxes. Elections really matter.

‘WE WANT TO WIN IT ALL’ Kettle Run boys lacrosse team wins region title over Meridian 15-5, host state quarters Friday

By Billy Marin

Special to the Fauquier Times

Winning last Thursday’s showdown was never really in doubt for the top-seeded Kettle Run boys lacrosse team.

After overwhelming No. 2 seed Meridian 15-5 at home to win the region tournament title, the only remaining question is an inspiring one.

Can the Cougars continue their spectacular season and go on to win the state championship?

With celebrations ensuing all around him after last week’s region title, Kettle Run coach Bryan Logan described what it meant for the team to earn some silverware.

“It’s awesome. Our team worked hard all year, every single one of these guys put in so much work, so much effort. And I’m just so proud of them,” said Logan. “I could not be more proud of them. Just awesome.”

The victory means that Kettle Run (14-3) hosts Broad Run (7-10) in Friday’s Class 4 quarterfinal at 6 p.m. “We’re excited to be at home.

We haven’t lost a game here (at home) since the first game of the season and I don’t want to lose another one,” said Logan.

Bryce McAnany (above) and the Cougars sprinted past Jack Freas and the Meridian Mustangs 15-5 last Thursday to capture the Class 4 Region B championship.

Logan spared no words describing his team’s hopes for the rest of their season, saying, “We want to win it all. It’s as simple as that.”

Kettle Run was dominant in all aspects, especially on defense. The Cougars allowed only one goal in the first half, which came off of a man-up play in the first period.

Kettle Run celebrated its first Northwestern District championship since 2018 after downing visiting Sherando 6-2 on May 24. The Cougars hosted Tuscarora (17-3) Tuesday in the region semifinals.

Judging by all those loud pinging noises, you might have thought you watching the USA’s hottest new sport, pickleball.

No, that was the Kettle Run batting order banging clutch hit after clutch hit after clutch hit with authority against Sherando starter Cole Orr in the third inning of the Northwestern District baseball championship on May 24.

Trailing 2-1 when the third inning started, the host Cougars scored five runs with two outs to storm ahead 6-2. Dillon DeAnda, J.J. Mulhern, Nathan Wiles, Sean Martin, Samuel Linebaugh and Sean Hallett all came through with hard hits in the inning.

Coupled with a sterling performance by senior starter Damen Tapscott, the Cougars prevailed 6-2 to earn their first tournament title since 2018 and first region berth since 2018.

KETTLE RUN GIRLS LACROSSE ‘SUPER HAPPY’ TO MAKE STATES Cougars face defending champion Dominion in Friday’s state quarters

Cougars down Culpeper

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Entering last Thursday’s Class 4 Region B girls lacrosse championship game, the Kettle Run Cougars had already accomplished one of their season goals.

Coach Addison Foudray’s No. 3-seeded Cougars were headed to their second consecutive Class 4 state tournament regardless of the outcome.

“I’m super happy that we’ve made the progress of going to states two years in a row. For me as a coach, that’s just everything,” said Foudray.

Although the Cougars (12-4) lost to host and No. 1 seed Meridian 25-5 in the region tournament final, they have another big game to play Friday at defending Class 4 champion Dominion (16-0) in the Class 4 quarterfinals at 6 p.m.

In just two years at the helm, Foudray has taken Kettle Run to their second straight state tournament and is proud of the progress her young squad has made.

“State championship is always the goal, so that’s what we’re looking to-

And I think the program itself is really starting to mold into what I was hoping for. We got a great group of girls, just trying to get the confidence up. I think that’s the big thing,” said Foudray.

She hopes her team can improve

Strong pitching makes Cougars district champs

CLASS 4 REGION B SEMIFINALS: Tuscarora (17-3) at KETTLE RUN (10-6); James Wood (18-3) at Heritage (16-7). Region final is Thursday, June 1. State quarterfinals June 6, semifinals June 9, final June 10.

BASEBALL, from page 13 “The kids played well. They did not seem uptight or stressed about getting behind early and played baseball,” said coach Ty Thorpe.

“This is coach Martin’s final season. l congratulated him on a good run. It happens,” said Thorpe of No. 4-seeded Sherando (12-11), which came in confident after upsetting Northwestern District superpower and No. 1 seed James Wood 4-3 in the semifinals in what was coach Martin’s 400th career win.

The No. 3-seeded Cougars (10-6) hosted Dulles District tournament champion Tuscarora (17-3) in Tuesday’s Class 4 Region B semifinals.

The region finals are Thursday, June 1.

The bottom of the third saw the Cougars score all five runs with two outs.

After a leadoff out, DeAnda grounded a single past third, followed by the lefty Mulhern’s opposite field line drive single to left. After a strikeout, sophomore shortstop Wiles battled deep into the count before lining a single to center to score DeAnda and tie the game at 2-2.

“I knew there were two out and I got a pitch I could hit,” said Wiles.

“The boys after me just kept the inning going.”

Next up was Martin, who produced the eventual game-winner by pounding a line drive between short and third to score Mulhern for a 3-2 lead.

“I think it was a high changeup. I let it come to me, I got my foot down and swung. I’ve been hitting a lot of balls between third and short lately,”

on last year’s state quarterfinal loss to Dominion, a 19-1 setback. “It’s not always about the opponent, it’s just about how you come out to play.

So regardless of who we’re playing, we’re going to work hard in practices and just prep as much as we can,” Foudray said.

Meridian used a dynamic attack to lead 16-3 at halftime to easily claim the region title on May 25.

But the big news for Kettle Run was the previous game on May 22 when the Cougars downed Culpeper 17-4 in the region semis to qualify for states.

“They were ready, they wanted it so much. They knew that it was do or die,” Foudray said. “We had worked super hard between that last Culpeper game (a 13-8 loss on May 1). They put in the work, and it showed. We just really focused on molding together, fixing what went wrong, and they did it.”

To open the region final against Meridian, Kettle Run held their own as goals from Morgan Mahoney and Jordan White left the score 2-2 five minutes in before the top seed rolled.

“Communication, our help defense, we just got to nail that down a little bit more. It was really strong against Culpeper on Monday, it just broke down today a little bit,” said Foudray.

Meridian beat Kettle Run in last year’s region final 21-3. The Cougars won their only region championship in 2018 where they defeated Brentsville 15-6.

Next up was Linebaugh, who scalded a line drive double past third to score Wiles and send Martin to third to make it 4-2.

Sean Hallett joined the party next by lining a single to center to score Martin and Hallett and make it 6-2.

Kettle Run’s big inning was needed after Sherando scored an unearned run in the first to lead 1-0.

The Cougars responded on J.J. Mulhern’s leadoff double and sacrifice fly by Wiles to make it 1-1. Sherando again nosed in front in the top of the third on two walks and a wild pitch to lead 2-1.

Handed a four-run lead, Tapscott allowed no more runs. He walked a batter and hit a batter in the fourth but got out of the jam by getting Trey Williams on a well-hit but manageable flyout to Mulhern in center.

He retired the side in order in the fifth and sixth but with his pitch count at 98 entering the final inning, there was still some nervous tension for Thorpe, who was worried about keeping Tapscott’s pitch count around the required 109.

“I told him before the inning, ‘You got 12 pitches to work with, let’s see what you get,’” said Thorpe.

“By the third inning he had 55, so we knew he may not make it.”

After recording two outs and a bloop single in the top of the seventh, Tapscott was removed to huge hugs after Thorpe walked out and took the ball. Tapscott got a hero’s embrace and applause.

“Pretty much where I’ve come from I’m not used to winning. This feels way better than anything,” Tapscott said. “I knew I was done. Having that ovation was pretty nice.”

In came Warren Bernard, who walked Tyler Strosnider, but induced an easy groundout to second to end the game.

Tapscott allowed two hits and struck out seven in six and two

thirds innings. He also walked four and hit a batter.

“He wasn’t being hit hard. There was one hard hit,” said Thorpe. “He did a good job hitting his spots.

Their kids could not dig into the box because he was using both sides of the plate. He had them on their toes all night.”

Afterwards there were plenty of photos as the giddy Cougars rejoiced in one of the unlikeliest titles in their history. Kettle Run finished a distant third in the regular season at 7-5, well behind James Wood and Millbrook, which combined to lose just two games.

In the end, the Cougars played three impressive postseason games, shutting down No. 6 seed Fauquier 5-0, No. 7 seed Handley 10-1 and No. 4 Sherando 6-2. All were at home with Trey Western, Jacob Mulhern and Tapscott hurling 20.2 of the 21 innings.

The Cougars never had to deal with regular season champion James Wood (18-3), which also advanced to the region semifinals at Heritage (167). The Cougars also avoided talented Millbrook (16-5), which forfeited its district quarterfinal win to Handley due to an ineligible pitcher.

“We started off slow at the beginning of the year but we kept our heads up,” said Mulhern, who was 2-for-3 with two runs scored in the championship.

Mulhern was also vocal in the dugout. “He was saying a lot of things to motivate us,” said Wiles.

HISTORIC SECOND PLACE FINISH FOR KETTLE RUN GIRLS IN REGION TRACK

Fauquier athletes also shine in Winchester, state meet is next this week

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Winning three events and finishing second in three others, the Kettle Run High girls enjoyed life at the top of the leaderboard at the Class 4 Region C track meet in Lynchburg on May 25.

Scoring 95 points, the Kettle Run girls took second behind Tuscarora, who won six events and nipped the Cougars for the title with 97 points. Fauquier finished third with 81 points, while Liberty took 16th with two.

It was the best region finish in history for the KRHS girls, who competed in 22 events.

The Cougars’ three region champions were freshman Suzanna Mancini in the 800-meter dash, senior Ashley Nickerson in the pole vault and senior Hannah Carlson in shot put.

“As a group, we were pretty locked in. I think we certainly had some people that exceeded expectations,” said Kettle Run coach Jarrette Marley. “I think as a coaching staff and the girls in general, everyone just rose to the occasion.”

Fauquier were the county’s best boys team finishers, scoring 64 points to take third behind Tuscarora (83.5) and Loudoun Valley (80.5). The Eagles were 11th with 32 points, and the Cougars 13th with 26.

To qualify for this weekend’s Class 4 state meet at Liberty University, competitors needed to be in the top four in individual or relay events or top the state qualifying standard. With several Cougars already qualified for states, 13 more punched their tickets at regionals.

In total, Kettle Run is bringing 20 to the state meet.

“I think for us as a coaching staff, this is step one in the process, trying to get as many kids to states as possible... And start to make some noise,” said Marley, a first-year coach who came from Battlefield High.

Mancini continued her breakout season by setting a school record of 2:19.68 in winning the 800. The freshman ran the second leg in the Cougars’ second place 4x400 relay, which also included Erin Fay, Annie Sutliff and Grace Tessier and finished in 4:11.76.

Marley was blown away by Mancini’s 800 run.

“She’s only a ninth grader, so to already have the

The Cougars also took second in the 4x100 relay. Delaney Sirisena, Evelyna Ankomah, Zoey Lyons and Nora Keating combined to complete one lap around the track in 50.17, just three hundredths of a second behind first-place Handley.

Revealing the newfound depth of their roster, Ankomah, Fay, Lyons, Tessier and Sirisena also qualified for states in individual events. Ankomah took third in the 100, while Fay (400), Lyons (300 hurdles), Tessier (triple jump) and Sirisena (pole vault) each finished fourth.

Titles for Nickerson and Carlson

To follow up her district title in the pole vault, senior Ashley Nickerson dominated the event

again at regions. Winning by two feet, the senior vaulted 10 feet, six inches.

“We can always count on her to do well,” said Marley. “It gives a certain peace of mind knowing that she routinely steps up and takes care of business.”

Likewise, senior Hannah Carlson backed up her district title in the shot put by taking first at regionals with a 36-8.75 throw. The senior is also headed to states in the discus as she took second at 120-3.

After winning the state title in the shot put during the indoor season in the winter, there were high expectations surrounding Carlson, and she delivered.

“Having her having so much success, winning the state title, I think it really boosted her confidence a lot,” Marley said. “She’s similar to Ashley (Nickerson), been very consistent, been able to handle that bullseye on her back.”

On the boys side, Tre Pastor was the Cougars’ best finisher with his second place finish of 12-6 in the pole vault.

The 4x800 relay also qualified for states as Tyler Young, Owen Mullens, Conor Madigan and Brady Leitenberger combined to take fourth with their time of 8:14.87.

Fauquier boys and girls take third

Coming off a sweep of Northwestern District team championships, the Fauquier boys and girls followed up with another successful meet.

“I think the kids just did an outstanding job.

We explained to them we wanted to get a couple more people qualified for the state meet, and they just went out and executed,” Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said.

Seventeen Falcons qualified for states at regionals to go along with those that previously met the mark. As a result, Fauquier is bringing an astonishing 31 to states, including alternates.

“Going to the state meet is not easy, not easy at all,” said Jones. “So, we are taking quite a few kids along, which I’m very proud of.”

‘WE THINK THE PRESSURE IS ON THE OTHER TEAMS’ Falcon boys soccer faces Tuscarora in region semifinals

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier High boys soccer team isn’t sure how it will go, but they’re excited.

Coming off a breakthrough season as the 2023 Northwestern District regular season champions, the Falcons (10-8) get their moment in the sun in the Class 4 Region B semifinals. They traveled to face Dulles District power Tuscarora (13-2-3) on Tuesday, with the winner playing in the region final on Thursday vs. the Handley-Loudoun County winner.

“In my opinion we’re honored to be this far. We think the pressure is on the other teams,” coach Chase Davenport said.

18, falling to Handley 3-0 at Falcon Field. The Falcons are led by Northwestern District Co-Player of the Year Nate Hensley, a midfielder, and forward Chris Guevara, another first team all-district player.

Four other Falcons were second team in forward Erik Lobo, midfielders Andrew Wilvert and David Calderon and defender Karrick Dolan.

“Everyone needs a big day,” Dav-

enport said. “We hope Chris can be a nuisance up front with Lobo. And that Nate and David can control the middle. There will be a lot of the time where we don’t have the ball.

We need to wait for our moment and steal the ball back.”

Fauquier hasn’t played in almost two weeks, but Davenport says his guys are ready: “If we win we’ll qualify for states. What happened against Handley is in the past. We’re looking forward to regionals and playing a game that can take us to states.”

Although the loss to eventual district tourney champion Handley was disappointing, Davenport said the Falcons were competitive, trailing 1-0 most of the game after the Judges scored off a corner kick about ten minutes in, then got the last two goals in the final 15 minutes.

“I don’t think 3-0 accurately reflected the overall flow of the game.

I’m proud of the way the boys played,” said Davenport, who was named District Co-Coach of the Year.

Florida’s Live Oak Hounds win first Virginia title in more than a decade

HORSE BRIEFS

‘Frisky’ emerges tops at world’s largest hound event

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

The trip was 800 miles and 16 hours, but, according to Live Oak Hounds huntsman Guy Allman and joint-masters Daphne and Marty Wood, it was well worth it.

The trio – along with 12 ½ couple of their English foxhounds – made the journey from Monticello, Florida to Leesburg for the 75th annual Virginia Foxhound Club show on Sunday. Historic Morven Park hosted what’s become the largest foxhound bench show in the world. Five rings run concurrently, with some 700 hounds from 42 hunt clubs, including 16 from Virginia, taking part.

Live Oak Frisky topped them all, winning her classes in the English ring before edging champions from the other divisions to take the top title as grand champion of the show. Interesting to note, all five ring champions were female, including overall reserve champion Goshen Killarney from the American ring.

Dr. Marvin Beeman of Colorado’s Arapahoe Hunt judged lemon-and-white Frisky best in show in the event’s grand finale.

Live Oak had won seven previous Virginia best in show titles but not since 2012; this was their second prestigious championship in the past two months – Live Oak Trusty won grand champion at the Southern Hound Show last month. Huntsman

PHOTO BY BETSY SMITH

Live Oak Frisky was judged overall grand champion at Sunday’s Virginia hound show, the second best in show title for the Florida hunt club in the last two months.

Allman joined Live Oak, which formed in 1974, last season. He was previously huntsman for the Blue Ridge Hunt in Clarke County and had built decades of hunting experience in his native England before moving to Florida last summer.

In other hound show rings, Bull Run Potus was performance trial champion, with Piedmont, Princess Anne and Belle Meade winning pack classes. Green Spring Valley Hounds huntsman Ashley Hubbard won his second-straight horn blowing contest.

At Morven Park Saturday, the Masters of Foxhounds field hunter championship finals were held in two divisions. Joint-master of the Essex Foxhounds and Johnson and Johnson heiress, Jazz Johnson and her warmblood, Hero, won the first flight division, with Orange County Hounds rider Rae Stone and her Lancelot reserve champion.

Cathy Gomez and Princeton represented the Goodwin Hounds from southwest North Carolina to win the hilltoppers division.

Complete results of the show are at virginiafoxhoundclub.org.

A primer on today’s complex real estate market Despite higher interest rates, interest remains high in the greater Piedmont

By Scott MacDonald

Special to the Fauquier Times

The real estate market never ceases to amaze.

Over the last year, interest rates have more than doubled in a six-month period. The rates went from 3.5% to over 7% from May to November. At that time, the market ground to a halt as there was much speculation about how high mortgage rates would climb and how that would affect prices – most people said downward.

Fast forward to today, and it appears that buyers have now settled into mortgage rates being in the 6% to 7% range, resulting in an increase in sales again, along with price growth.

All this being said, today’s market is filled with uncertainty due to several factors. Both sides of the aisle in Washington, D.C. are dealing with the debt ceiling, inflation and rising interest rates.

As a matter of fact, today’s rates are over 7% again.

The other looming issue is people being “married” to their homes because of their interest rates. Many people fear losing their 2.5% to 3.5% interest rates and moving into a higher rate today. This results in a huge shortage of homes for sale in our area.

With increased demand, this is creating multiple contract situations for many homes for sale today.

On the flip side, we have a strong job market, a growing population and a stable economy, which positively impacts the real estate market – especially for sellers. Additionally, the area’s natural beauty, cultural amenities and excellent quality of life can make it attractive for people to relocate to the Greater Piedmont Area, which can make it tough for buyers.

It is important to note that even though market trends and economic indicators can provide an idea of what may happen in the future, they cannot predict sudden market disruptions or unforeseen events that might impact the real estate market.

The banking industry being in jeopardy is one of these areas of concern, along with the Fed continuing to raise the overnight rates it charges banks. With so many factors affecting the real estate market, it is always recommended to consult a professional real estate agent (REALTORS®) to help you determine if now is the right time for you to sell or buy.

Using their expertise, real estate agents can provide you with market data such as inventory levels, absorption rates relating to sales, months’ supply of houses available, immediate sales and other data that can be valuable to you when you

There are also additional important data points, such as the number of houses with multiple contracts, how high above list price are houses selling, what contingencies are being waived or accepted by sellers and the timing of sales from contract to close.

Another bonus, real estate agents have extensive professional networks that include other agents, lenders, home inspectors and contractors.

They can provide recommendations and connect you with trusted professionals to assist through-

out the process.

It is a complex time in the real estate industry to say the least. While it’s possible to navigate the real estate process independently, a real estate agent’s expertise, resources and guidance can significantly simplify and enhance your experience, whether you’re buying or selling a home.

Cougars roar into state tourney BOYS LACROSSE, from page 13 Defensively, Kettle Run looked stronger and faster, refusing to allow the Mustangs’ attack to get set and stifling any shot attempts when they did. They entered the second half with a commanding 9-1 lead.

“We’ve got great D-poles. I think that Collin Malloy is the best defender in the state, and then Jack Boyle and Alex Vance were all wrecking people,” Logan said. “We’re so physical that it’s hard to play against us, we level huge hits, and we’re technically sound so we can wear you down,” he continued.

Meridian was a well-drilled opponent who never rolled over, meaning that although they were on the back foot for the duration of the game, Kettle Run never had it easy.

“All the credit in the world to Kettle Run’s team. They came out with a lot of fire and in all phases were pretty dominant, especially in the first half. They just did a really good job,” said Meridian coach Will Stewart.

Henry Clarkson Green

Beverly Sue Copeland Cornell

Henry Clarkson Green, 102, of Markham, died May 23, 2023 peacefully at his home "Hartland", where he was born April 9, 1921, a son of the late Alexander G. and Lizzie Stribling Green of Markham.

A gentle gentleman and dedicated steward of the land, Mr. Green worked his entire life on his farm.

One of his greatest pleasures was seeing his children and grandchildren remain close and active on the farm - where Hartland Farm over the years has expanded to include several enterprises: beef cattle, pick-your-own fruits and vegetables, farm market with agritainment, Christmas trees, and an equine veterinary practice.

Mr. Green served on the John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District Board, as well as the Virginia Soil and Water State Commission. He also served on the boards of the Marshall National Bank, the Fauquier Hospital, and Lord Fairfax Community College at its inception. He was an active member and trustee of the Markham United Methodist Church, and a charter member of the Leeds Ruritan Club.

He earned his B.S. in chemistry at Hampden-Sydney College, and M.S. from Lehigh University. While working as a research chemist at Alcoa, he turned down a presidential exemption and went into the U. S. Navy, serving in the Pacific Theatre in WWII as communication officer aboard the aircraft carrier USS Belleau Wood.

Mr. Green was preceded in death by his brothers James R. Green and Alexander G. Green Jr.; his wife and mother of his children Grace Miller Green; wife Harriette Wagner Green; his beloved daughter Margaret G. Morris. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall was his great-great-grandfather.

Survivors include his loving companion Margaret Sanders of Markham; his good friend Ricky Jenkins of Clear Brook. Five children: Grace G. "Jaque" Bradford of Markham; Henry "Hank" Green Jr. and wife Cheryll of Maurertown; John Miller Green of White Post; Elizabeth G. Mathias of Moorefield, W. Va.; William S. "Bill" Green and wife Sharon, of Markham. He is survived by nine grandchildren: Ann B. Vaughan and husband Graham of Glen Allen, Va.; Brian Green and wife Georgi of Markham; Burke Green and wife Beth of Boulder, Colorado; Michael Mathias and wife Brooke of Richmond; Dr. Megan M. Wagner and husband Neil of Markham; Amanda Lewis of Manassas; Corinne M. Adamo and husband Ernesto of Lehigh Acres, Florida; Diana Green of Harrisonburg; Grace M. Green and partner Maya Neste of Front Royal.

Great-grandchildren include Walker and Mackenzie Vaughan of Glen Allen, Va.; Jackson Kitch of Manassas.

Close family nieces Mary Blake Green of Markham; Courtenay Marshall Green Mullen and husband Walter of Markham; nephew Alexander Gibson Green, III and wife Rebekah of Leesburg.

Numerous cousins, great-nieces and great-nephews!

Step-children include: Mary Nicholson; Barry Nicholson and wife Kim; Michael Nicholson; Ian Nicholson; Cathleen N. McIntyre and husband Owen; Charles G. "Teddy" Nicholson (deceased) and wife Mari Helen.

Visitation with family and friends will be 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Friday, June 2 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, Va. A Celebration of Life service will take place 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 3, at Markham Stone Church, 3212 Stone Church Road, Markham, Va., officiated by Rev. Laetitia Schoeman and Rev. Bill Burrough.

If desired, in lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to Markham Stone Church, PO Box 33, Markham, VA 22643.

Beverly Sue Copeland Cornell was born in Salem, Missouri on September 7, 1936 to Carl and Glena Copeland. Early in her childhood, the family moved to San Diego, California where she attended Francis Parker School and Point Loma High School. She had fond childhood memories of visiting her grandparents in Missouri along with her cousins Jackie Zwolack and Glen Copeland.

Her love for children led her to pursue her degree in elementary education from San Diego State University where she was an active member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. As she began her sophomore year, she met the love of her life, Bob Cornell. They dated for three weeks before he left for Stanford Business School. The day after he left, she received a letter asking her to wait for him. They wrote to each other every day for two years, and in 1957 they were married. Their love story continued for over 63 years as their family grew. They settled in Los Altos, California where she taught at Springer Elementary School and raised three children, Barbara Wolfe, Kathryn Crabtree, and Carl Cornell.

As her children grew older, Sue took her passion for sewing and fashion and started S & R Designs with her best friend, Rosemarie Lien, and became Fashion Consultants with Doncaster. Sue volunteered her time to causes she was passionate about, including leading Sunday School for her church, serving as the Girl Scout Troop Leader for her daughters, and working with the Allied Arts Guild Auxiliary to support the Children's Hospital at Stanford.

Bob and Sue pursued many adventures. They lived in Boblingen, Germany for two years and traveled to many beautiful locations during their years together. The one place they returned to time and time again was the island of Kauai. It was Sue's favorite place on earth - her personal paradise.

In their retirement, Bob and Sue moved to Sunriver, Oregon. They especially loved spending time with their grandchildren, Amanda Lockwood, Allison Wolfe, Brianna Wolfe, Robert KC Cornell, Jacqueline Crabtree, Ryan Crabtree, and Nicole Crabtree. Every place they lived they found a way to embrace the community and give back. Bob and Sue were instrumental in raising their grandson, KC, and advocated for Autism awareness in the Sunriver community.

In 2010, they moved to Warrenton, Virginia and lived within a few miles of their daughter Kathy and her family. In recent years, Sue was blessed with three great grandchildren, Caleb Wolfe Burney, Decker Wolfe Lockwood, and Siena Rae Lockwood.

Sue passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 18th, 2023 in Warrenton, Virginia. Sue was deeply loved by her family and friends. She will be remembered for her kindness, her unconditional love and compassion for others, her devotion to her family, and her faith in Christ.

The family would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at Fauquier Health Rehabilitation & Nursing Center and Heartland Hospice for the loving care they provided Sue. If you would like to make a contribution in Sue's memory, the family requests that you support her love of children and of reading by making a donation to your local elementary school or public library. Please enjoy a sunset in a beautiful location and remember her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on June 3rd at 11:00 am at Bethel United Methodist Church in Warrenton, Virginia.

Stewart Lynn Hauver Stewart Hauver, 88, of Broad Run, VA, went to be with God on May 17, 2023. He passed peacefully at home with his family by his side. He was a well-loved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who will be sorely missed.

Stewart was born in Baltimore, MD on June 15, 1934, met Beverly, his devoted wife in Hyattsville, MD and they got married in 1957. They recently celebrated 66 happy years of marriage, and it was a true love story.

Beloved father of Arlene (Darrell) Atkins and Lori (Drew) McCarthy, grandfather of Ashley Atkins (Justin) Palmer, and great grandfather to Brooks Palmer.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Lotta and father, Clifford Charles, and by his brothers, Gary, and Carroll.

He was drafted in 1957 into the US Army and was a cryptographic repairman stationed in Fort Monmouth, NJ, and continued in the Air National Guard.

Stewart worked at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC for 37 1/2 years, as an Engineering Technician.

They moved to Broad Run, VA in 1974 to enjoy the rural lifestyle, build a house and have space for a garden and horses. He absolutely loved cutting grass on his zero turn mower. He also loved camping (many trips with close friend Eddie and Betty Beck) and cross-country trips with the family exploring National Parks. He even drove their RV to Alaska (and later flew there).

Stewart loved cars at a young age, especially his 1954 Corvette. He cultivated his love of flying in his 30's, earned his pilot license in 1971, got his instructor license and kept his Piper Cherokee 140 at the Culpeper airport. He even partially built an experimental plane (Glasair) in the basement of the house! As a teenager, he built his own HAM radio and transmitted his own signal. Stewart was a well-read, inquisitive, self-educated man, who regardless of the topic, always had knowledge of history, geography, and the mechanics of many, many things. There wasn't a single thing that he couldn't build, repair, or reverse engineer (cars, electronics, all the aspects of building a home, rebuilding plane engines).

Regardless of what you wanted to build, Stewart was who you asked. His knowledge, insights, humor and love for all of us will be sorely missed.

What he loved the most though, was his family. We love you so much Stewart, Dad, Papaw - you will always be with us in our hearts.

A private celebration of life will be held. If you'd like to make a donation in his memory, you may do so to the Wounded Warrior Project www.woundedwarrior project.org Please view and sign the family's online guestbook at www.moserfuneralhome.co m Obituaries

William Downing Duvall Born, February 26, 1937, Died, May 23, 2023 William D. Duvall, Known by many as Bill or "Doc", was born in Washington DC to William Andrew Duvall and Gladys Downing Duvall. The family, including a younger sister, Sandra, and a younger brother, Donald, lived in a home on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC. Bill attended Anacostia High School. Upon graduation, he attended the University of Maryland, studying Animal science. While at Maryland, Bill met the love of his life, Joyce Wilson. The two were married and around that time, Bill was accepted to the veterinary school at the University of Georgia. Bill often commented about those four years being some of the best times in his and Joyce's lives.

In 1963, a year before he graduated Veterinary school, Bill and Joyce welcomed their first and only child, William II. After his Veterinary graduation, the small family moved to Vienna, Virginia where Bill began practice at Blue Cross Animal Hospital. After a couple of years later and with the help of his father, Bill opened his own practice in Woodbridge, Virginia. It would be called, Occoquan Animal Hospital. The hospital would become one of the leading practices in Prince William County and after 25 years, Bill retired.

The family moved from Woodbridge to Hitch Hollow farm, near Linden, Virginia. The farm had been in the family for many generations. Bill became a full time farmer, growing crops and tending cattle over the years. He and Joyce purchased a vacation home on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. All was good for many years, but in January of 2011, Joyce passed away at their Hilton Head home. She was 73 years old. Bill carried on without Joyce but life would never be the same without her.

On May 23, 2023, Bill passed away while doing what he loved to do for so many years, working on the farm. Bill is survived by his son, Bill II and his partner, Melinda, and two nieces, Audra Moore and Pam Moore Vasserman.
