Warrenton rejects latest effort to block Amazon data center Move raises questions about role of independent board of zoning appeals

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Citizens for Fauquier County is taking a new tack in its fight against the planned Amazon data center. The nonprofit is attempting to block Warrenton’s recent approval of the data center’s site plan through the town’s independent board of zoning appeals.

But that effort was rejected recently by a Warrenton official. Now, the matter has turned into a legal dispute over whether a town official has the authority to block an application to the board of zoning appeals and whether a citizens group has the right to appeal to the board in the first place.

The appeal, filed on May 16, is the latest in a series of attempts by CFFC to stop the 1,000-footlong data center, planned for Warrenton’s north-

changed by town officials about the project that have been withheld by the town. Both cases are pending in Fauquier County Circuit Court.

According to CFFC, appealing the data center site plan would stop the project in its tracks until the board of zoning appeals decides the case.

Warrenton Community Development Director Rob Walton rejected the appeal; however, its status is uncertain. In a letter to town officials, CFFC attorney Dale Mullen gave the town until Tuesday, May 28, to change its mind. If they did not, he wrote, the group would “pursue all available remedies.”

On Wednesday morning, May 29, Lyndie Paul, the town’s communications manager, said neither “the town nor Rob have changed their position.”

Asked how the CFFC might respond, the group’s president, Kevin Ramundo, said: “We have to consider all our options, and we will.”

Local horseman earns ‘Stalwart’ award

Don Yovanovich recognized for a lifelong commitment to steeplechase

By Betsy Burke Parker Contributing Writer

Upperville horseman Don Yovanovich was recently honored with the Stalwart of Steeplechase award, another recognition for more than five decades — and counting — devoted to supporting and advancing horse racing.

The Stalwart of Steeplechase is selected annually by a committee from a list of nominees from the National Steeplechase Association horsemen.

The award is given in memory of the late Skip Achuff, a longtime steeplechase rider and horseman who volunteered in several roles managing and promoting race meets until his death two years ago. Members of Achuff’s family presented the prize at the Radnor Races recently in Malvern, Pennsylvania.

Warrenton rejects latest effort to block Amazon data center DATA CENTER, from page 1 Larry Kovalik, chairman of the Warrenton Board of Zoning Appeals, said Tuesday he was not aware of the dispute and was having trou-

Don Yovanovich Yovanovich rode hundreds of steeplechase winners —including the 1978 Virginia Gold Cup — and has, to date, trained winners of more than 500 races with more than $1.5 million in winnings. He’s also been deeply involved in race meet management and has spent decades at the executive level of jump racing’s organizing bodies. ble accessing his town emails. He said the town staff helps process applications for the board but said he could not recall a town staff member turning away an application for an appeal.

“To be honest with you, I’d have to research that myself,” Kovalik said. “(I’ve) never really had it come up.”

On Wednesday, May 29, Paul said

We’re hiring!

The Fauquier Times and The Prince William Times is seeking a talented and competitive inside multimedia advertising sales representative with the potential for growth into outside sales.

He was inducted into the Virginia Steeplechase Hall of Fame in 2011.

The Stalwart award recognizes those who “epitomize professionalism, integrity and dedication to steeplechasing.” Yovanovich received a record 13 nominations praising his many career accomplishments, his character and his dedication to helping the sport grow.

“For decades, Donnie’s commitment to ensuring steeplechase racing and flat racing are safer for horses and jockeys has been his top priority,” said Megan Connolly, a racing broadcast journalist and television personality who lives in Marshall and specializes in horse racing. “Many (race day) protocols, rules and regulations have evolved and improved as a direct result of his experiences as a jockey, trainer and racing official.”

A native of central Pennsylvania, Yovanovich started his horse career in the horse show industry, qualifying as a junior rider for both the

prestigious Medal and Maclay equitation finals.

He turned his attention to horse racing after college, first working with the legendary Betty Bird, a pioneering woman jockey and horse trainer in Pennsylvania, then moving to Virginia in the late 1970s. He helped develop an equine swim center in Middleburg, which aimed to better condition racehorses and help them rehabilitate after injuries.

He helped Arthur W. “Nick” Arundel develop the Great Meadow racecourse south of The Plains, serving as race chair and director for Virginia Gold Cup and International Gold Cup — 31 years each — and joining the National Steeplechase Association race committee.

Yovanovich has served as president or board member of the Virginia Point-to-Point Association, Virginia Point-to-Point Foundation, Virginia Steeplechase Association and Virginia Gold Cup Association.

Kovalik now has a copy of Walton’s letter and that Walton, as director of community development, “oversees the functions and operations of the BZA.” The dispute between the town and CFFC is laid out in two letters obtained by the Fauquier Times. In a May 22 letter from Walton to the CFFC, he writes: “Your application to appeal the approval of a site plan … is rejected.”

In its appeal, the CFFC argues that town officials failed to hold Amazon to conditions outlined in its special use permit, and that the special permit itself is illegal because it was based on an illegal zoning ordinance — a point the CFFC is arguing in its lawsuit against the town.

Walton wrote that the board of zoning appeals has no authority to rule on the legality of a town ordinance and that only the proponents of a site plan can appeal its treatment to the board of zoning appeals.

“Nothing in Virginia law gives third parties a right to challenge a site plan,” he wrote.

On May 24, Mullen, the CFFC’s attorney, responded with a five-page letter arguing, in part, that Walton, a town administrator, had no authority

to reject an application for a hearing before the board of zoning appeals.

He noted that the board is an independent body appointed by the circuit court and can hire its own attorney.

Mullen further noted that under the town code, “any person aggrieved” may appeal any decision by the town’s zoning administrator.

In his letter, Walton says Virginia legal precedent has established that no third party has the right to challenge a subdivision plat and that “site plans are governed by the same rules as subdivision plats.”

Mullen notes that the law says “plat” and not “site plan.”

Furthermore, Mullen wrote, the data center site plan is not just a set of drawings. As part of the special use permit, Amazon is required to comply with two dozen conditions, some very precise and complicated.

He argues the board of zoning appeals has a “statutory obligation to process” the CFFC appeal.

“The ball’s in their court. We think they overstepped their authority,” Ramundo said.

Marshall man, 26, arrested after 7-hour standoff with police

By Jill Palermo Managing Editor

A 26-year-old Marshall man was arrested last week after a domestic dispute led to a seven-hour standoff involving nearly 50 local and state police officers.

Noah R. Boiney, 26, of Marshall, walked out of a home in the 4000 block of Rectortown Road at about 8:40 a.m. on Wednesday, May 29, and gave himself up to police, according to Jeff Long, a spokesperson for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Boiney, who was said to possess “multiple firearms,” was unarmed when he left the home. He had been holed up inside the home with seven other people — a mix of children and adults — for most of the night. The people, who were not related to Boiney but were staying in the home, left the home at about 6:30 a.m. No shots were fired, and there were no injuries, Long said.

The incident began several hours earlier with a domestic dispute that left a woman suffering from minor injuries. No weapons were involved in the dispute, and the woman was able to escape from the home and call for help at about 1:30 a.m., Long said.

“She reported that there were still people inside the home, and the suspect had made some threats.

A Fauquier County Sheriff’s Deputy guards Rectortown Road at about 7:25 a.m. Wednesday, May 29, during a seven-hour standoff that ended when the suspect surrendered without incident.

That’s why we cleared the area,” Long said.

Because it was reported that Boiney had firearms in the home, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office responded with its crisis negotiation team and called the Virginia State Police for backup. The state police responded with its negotiation team as well as an armored vehicle from Culpeper. The sheriff’s office deployed its drone unit. In all, between 40 and 50 officers were involved in the response, Long said.

Law enforcement officers proceeded to call for

area residents to shelter in place while police attempted to coax Boiney from the home, Long said.

The Virginia State Police negotiations team established contact with Boiney, which led to his surrender, Long said.

It’s not clear how many weapons or what kind were in the home. The sheriff’s office investigation is continuing, Long said.

Boiney was charged with malicious wounding, domestic assault and battery, brandishing a firearm and use of firearm in commission of a felony in connection with the incident. He remained in custody at the Fauquier County jail as of Monday, June 3, according to court records.

Fauquier County schools in the area were briefly put on “secure status,” a type of lockdown, as a result of the incident. Some school buses were late in bringing students to Claude Thompson and Coleman Elementary schools as well as Marshall Middle School.

But most students were not impacted, according to Darlene Marshall, director of transportation for Fauquier County Public Schools.

Loudoun man, 18, jailed after high-speed chase, foot pursuit outside Bealeton Staff Report An 18-year-old Loudoun County man was behind bars Monday after allegedly leading a Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputy on a high-speed chase along Catlett Road, crashing his car near James Madison Highway and then fleeing on foot outside Bealeton.

The suspect, identified as Javon Saunders, of Chantilly, was eventually located in a nearby wooded area by a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputy using a drone and a thermal-imaging camera and taken into custody, according to Jeff Long, a spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Saunders was charged Monday, June 3, with felony eluding, improp-

er passing, reckless driving and other charges in connection with the incident.

Sauders was also found to have an existing warrant for his arrest from Loudoun County. Deputies found a Glock handgun in his vehicle after he was arrested, Long said.

A Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputy began pursuing Saunders at 12:31 a.m. Monday, June 3, after

he observed a silver Nissan pass another vehicle over a solid double-yellow line along Catlett Road, Long said in a news release.

The driver continued south on Catlett Road until he lost control of his vehicle and crashed at the intersection of James Madison Highway at about 12:36 a.m., Long said.

Feeding a family from the farmers market

It can be done — deliciously — local mom says

Editor’s Note: With so many great farm-produced food options in Fauquier County we wondered if it was possible to feed a family for a week with all the main ingredients for each meal coming from local farms. So, we looked for a local family that followed what is known as the “lovacore” lifestyle, which means a daily diet primarily of locally produced food. The Reber family, Stephanie, Shawn, Harrison, 17, and Ben, 16, volunteered to record a typical week of local eating during the month of May. Stephanie Litter-Reiber kept a journal for the week. Here is what she had to say about the experience.

In a world where it often feels like our only option for feeding our families is shopping at big box stores stocked with goods from an industrial agriculture system, local farmers markets offer a refreshing alternative.

These markets are healthy, surprisingly affordable and beneficial for our community. The locavore movement encourages us to eat food grown locally, creating a deeper connection between us and our food sources — and the local farmers market gives us an avenue to do just that.

Shopping at our local farmers market isn’t just about buying groceries — it’s about investing in our community. When we spend money on locally grown and made goods, we directly support our farmers and the businesses that use their products.

This spending helps our small farm neighbors survive amid stiff competition from the large agribusinesses that dominate most retail stores.

Additionally, the money is reinvested into local labor, services and other goods, creating a positive ripple effect within our community.

The best way to keep farmland in Fauquier County is by ensuring our farms, and the businesses needed to support them, remain profitable.

This is another meal to prepare ahead of time on the weekend.

Not only are there economic benefits for the community, but there are also personal financial advantages.

Buying directly from farmers means avoiding transportation costs, import fees and middleman markups typical of stores stocked with non-local goods and out-of-season produce. Shopping at the farmers market ensures you get the freshest in-season produce for your money. As you become a familiar face to local farmers, they often share deals or tips on lesser-known produce varieties or cuts of meat that give you more value for your money and ideas on how to use them.

Finally, the health benefits of shopping at your local farmers market are unparalleled. Locally sourced fruits and vegetables are almost always fresher than store-bought, with farmers often harvesting right up until they jump into their trucks to bring their goods to market. This ensures optimal flavor and preserves nutrients often lost during long-distance transport.

Local farmers are also less likely to use dangerous pesticides, as they are feeding their own families from the same land. Livestock farmers raise their animals with respect and care, avoiding growth hormones and substandard feed and ensuring the livestock has a good

life before becoming our food. The old adage “you are what you eat” is taken seriously by our local farmers.

So, are you ready to become a locavore? Let’s explore how to plan your visit to the market to maximize your dollars and come home with a bag (or wagon) full of key ingredients to create delicious and nutritious meals for your family.

I have two rules for shopping at the market.

Keep an open mind: The market is not the grocery store. There will be times when the produce you want isn’t in season or a cut of meat you had your heart set on is out of stock until the farmer has their next butcher appointment. Roll with it and ask for suggestions or substitutions.

Have fun: Shopping at the market is the highlight of my week. Get to know your farmers and vendors. The more relationships you create, the better your experience will be.

For an entire week, I documented what I bought from the market, what items I had to supplement from other sources (such as the grocery store or my own cupboard) and the recipes we made with the ingredients we bought.

See FARMERS MARKET, page 5

Slice and serve topped with vinaigrette, shredded cheese, balsamic vinegar or plain.

11. Cut up the chicken into sections.

FARMERS MARKET, from page 4 For us, healthy eating is a family affair. I have two boys in high school who play sports, are in band and have after school jobs. My husband and I both work full-time, and we are often all going in different directions.

Everybody is expected to pitch in with cooking. Sometimes, we make meals up over the weekend that can be reheated during the week. Sometimes, we opt for quick meals.

Again — keep an open mind.

Sometimes dinner isn’t exactly what I planned, but nobody goes to bed hungry. Our goal budget is typically $250 to $275 a week. Sometimes, we spend a little more, sometimes a little less; it depends on what’s in season, how many pantry supplies I need to buy, what deals are available, what I already have on hand in my freezer (bulk buys often result

in good deals!) and how much my sweet tooth influences my shopping.

I’m spelling out our dinners during this experiment, but you may be wondering: What about breakfast and lunch? You can take care of both with locally sourced foods, too.

For breakfast, I look forward to my cup of joe from The Traveling Shepherd every morning. Then, we cycle between: • Yogurt topped with strawberries • Slice of toasted sour dough topped with an egg • Granola with milk and topped with strawberries For lunch, if we have any leftovers, we use those first. Another quick go-to are roast beef sandwiches made from sourdough bread, roast eye round, tomato, lettuce and vegan cashew spread with a side of pickles.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why I’m supporting Atif Qarni for Congress Early voting for the June 18 primaries has begun, and voters in Fauquier and Prince William counties are voting in the 10th Congressional District, where a packed race has ensued with 12 Democrats and four Republicans.

I am proud to endorse Atif Qarni, who is running for the Democratic nomination. Atif Qarni has a long record of public service. He served our country in the Marine Corps, where he was deployed to Iraq and served our nation honorably, demonstrating his patriotism. He then became a teacher for a Prince William County middle school and served as Virginia’s secretary of education from 2018 to 2021. It is important to elect a candidate with a clear and extensive record of public service to our community.

The greatest threat to our democracy is the hijacking of our political system by corporate greed. We see some politicians using our money to fund tax cuts for the rich and support wars abroad instead of investing in American families and the working class. In the halls of Congress, we can hear whispers of gutting the extremely popular Social Security program grow louder. At the local level, we can see the approval of environmentally destructive developments such as data centers against

the wishes of the residents.

Atif Qarni has taken a strong stance in support of campaign finance reforms and has signed the American Promise Pledge. He also supports many other policies to uplift the American working class, increase investments in public education and promote justice at home and abroad, such as: fighting for labor rights and passing the PRO Act; fighting against climate change and supporting regulations on developments such as data centers; investing in affordable housing and bringing high-paying jobs to our district; investing in childcare and starting a $5,000 baby bonds program; increasing teacher salaries and establishing a teacher minimum wage; defending and strengthening Social Security; ending funding for unjust wars abroad; supporting a ceasefire in Gaza and the right for both Jews and Palestinians to live in peace; protecting the First Amendment and ensuring the right to peacefully protest is protected on college campuses.

Superintendent’s efforts to involve parents are appreciated In April 2022, I met with Fauquier County Public Schools Superintendent Major Warner for the first time. A meeting was set up to discuss the many issues I was concerned about. I have no doubt a folder with a bunch of red flags was placed in front of him.

He took time to listen to my worries and questions, which included parental engagement opportunities, leadership and discipline at Auburn Middle, how to bridge the gap with teachers, library materials and how parents could get back into classrooms to volunteer and be a part of the daily educational experience of our children.

He admittedly did not have all the answers, and we did not always agree on the method, but he validated my concerns and kept reminding me that “we’d get there.”

When parents feel excluded from the educational dialogue, they will seek out and create new avenues for engagement and advocacy. Moms for Liberty Fauquier launched in June 2022 due to the crucial gap in our district’s approach to parental involvement at the time.

In our previous superintendent’s book, “Courageous Leadership,” David Jeck wrote, “Don’t let people tell your story. Don’t let them hijack your narrative.” But if they do, you may need to take action, and I have.

Community members and parents have successfully advocated and worked toward a library notification policies. We have had members sit on the book policy committee, a social and emotional learning committee, and a parental advisory council committee. We have held meet and greet events for our school board members and can-

didates. Our members volunteer in classrooms, parent teacher organizations, booster and band events.

We have come to the table not only with concerns but a willingness to work toward solutions that support each parent directing the upbringing and education of their children.

Most of this has been possible due to Dr. Warner’s unwavering dedication to fostering open dialogue and partnership. Fauquier County Public Schools has not only a collaborative leader but also a school board that is accessible and supports community input.

In April, I watched and listened as three of them were at the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors hearing, speaking on behalf of the people who elected them. Our kids and staff will benefit from a fully funded budget due to their combined efforts.

I am connected to parents all over the country, and I understand we have a unique experience in Fauquier.

Next year, Fauquier County schools will implement the first division-wide parents advisory council.

This commitment to collaboration and openness has been pivotal in ensuring that parents’ voices are not only heard but actively valued in decision-making processes. Dr. Warner is proof that sometimes we have leaders who will not only give parents a seat at the table but will pull out the chair and ask us to sit down.

Take him up on this. The future of America depends on the education and well-being of our children. Our community will only be better for it.

Jackleg is doing pizza Detroit-style in Vint Hill Husband-and-wife team sets up shop next to Old Bust Head

By Ashley Simpson Contributing Writer

There is so much more to pizza than cheese, sauce and dough. In the U.S., regional pizza styles engender strong loyalties and can stoke hot debates.

For Gina and Nathan Rivas, the pizza aficionados who opened Jackleg Pizza Company in Vint Hill in February, choosing the pizza styles to offer was a delicate question of market, taste and a lot of obsessive research.

They landed on three unique regional styles of pizza to feature: Detroit, Chicago Tavern and New York.

“No other nearby independent pizza places offer Detroit-style pizza,” Gina Rivas said. “We understand that pizza is a saturated market, so offering something a little different gave us a little something that set us apart right off the bat.”

The pair are veterans of the local food scene, having run a restaurant in Culpeper and a pizza food truck, but perfecting the art of pizza-making took time.

“If I told you the number of pizza cookbooks we have, how many places we have gone to eat pizza and how many YouTube videos we have watched learning to make different types of pizza, you wouldn’t believe it,” Gina Rivas said. “It’s Nathan’s obsession, and I’ve always loved to bake bread, so pizza made a lot of sense for us as we were looking to find success in the restaurant business.”

A Detroit-style pizza will be a unique taste for those who aren’t already fans, she said.

“Detroit style is the cousin of the Sicilian or ‘grandma pie’ and is a focaccia-like dough, cooked in a deep steel pan — though it is very different from ‘deep dish,’” Gina Rivas said. “Cheddar is spread around the edges to create a super crunchy crust, aged mozzarella goes in the middle, and there are two stripes of sauce on top followed by toppings. It has crunchy edges, a fluffy interior, and it’s lovely.”

For now, Jackleg is a carry-out business, but it does serve pizza for sit-in customers at neighboring Old Bust Head Brewing.

“The reception has been wonderful,” Gina Rivas said. “We opened with really good numbers, and they’ve only gotten better. We’ve gotten some really good professional reviews, too.”

Jackleg didn’t start out as a pizza place. It first launched as Jackleg Sandwich Company in 2019 in Culpeper. Before opening the first version of Jackleg, Nathan was running a pizza kitchen, and Gina was a bartender, promoter and event coordinator for local

Nathan Rivas spent hours reading cookbooks and researching pizza making before the launch of Jackleg Pizza. bars. The two were friendly acquaintances when Nathan approached Gina about opening a restaurant.

“We dreamed up a sandwich shop with craft cocktails,” Gina Rivas said. “We menu-tested with our network and built our branding during the beginning months of the pandemic, and we got an opportunity to actually bring it to fruition in September of 2020. It was not ideal timing, but we jumped on it with hubris.”

They spent more than two years getting a crash course in everything they thought they knew about restaurants, but didn’t.

“I can honestly say we threw everything at the wall with Jackleg 1.0,” Gina Rivas said. “I think we confused people. At one point, we were a sandwich place that had $20 top-shelf cocktails, hand-rolled pastas, and on Mondays, we had from scratch ramen and bao.”

Along the way, their personal relationship evolved: Gina and Nathan fell in love and got married. The partners in life and work then turned to pizza.

“I really missed making pizza, so I was incred-

ibly excited to return to it,” Nathan Rivas said.

“I feel just as much excitement each time a pizza comes out as when I started, and I feel the product has come a long way since my start.”

As Jackleg began to make a name for itself as a mobile pizza kitchen, the owner of the Farm Station Shopping Center suggested they move into one of the center’s empty buildings. Three weeks later, they ditched the full-time wheels life and were in business in Vint Hill.

“It’s a great location; the fact that we can offer table service to Old Bust Head is a huge bonus,” Gina Rivas said. “It’s an area that I think is on a development upswing, and I hope that our little group of businesses can become a sort of ‘downtown’ for Vint Hill.”

A bigger footprint is also coming soon.

“There will definitely be an expansion in the next six months,” Gina Rivas said. “We will be expanding into a second unit of space, and, then, we will add dining. Other additions may come, too, but it’ll all be about giving people a great experience. If feeding people is a love language, it’s ours.”

LEGAL NOTICES TOWN OF WARRENTON NOTICE OF TOWN COUNCIL MEETING

Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Warrenton will hold their Regular Monthly Meeting Work Session on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, at 9:00 AM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia.

Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Warrenton will hold their Regular Monthly Meeting on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, at 6:30 PM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia. Council will hold a Public Hearing on the following items: 1.) ZOTA 2023-01 A Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Reduce the Setback Requirement for Telecommunication Towers. Zoning Ordinance Section 9-18.10 - Setbacks requires that all telecommunication towers in all zoning districts be set back from property lines at a distance no less than the full height of the tower. The applicant is requesting that the setback requirement be reduced to allow a setback that is less than the height of the tower, with certification provided from an engineer that a lesser setback is appropriate due to the design of the tower. This text amendment would apply in all Zoning Districts throughout the Town. Arcola Towers LLC (Applicant)/James P. Downey (Representative) 2.) Smart Scale Transportation Applications - The Town of Warrenton is seeking to submit to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Smart Scale Round 6 applications for the Lee Highway (US 211/Bus 29) segment between the intersections at Winchester Street and Blackwell Road. The proposed projects are part of a VDOT Pipeline Study that includes a roundabout at Fletcher Drive, intersection accessibility modifications at Village Center Drive and Branch Drive, and a future stormwater management basin. The segment would complete the multi-modal improvements from the previously Smart Scale funded roundabouts at Lee Highway and Winchester Street and Lee Highway and Blackwell Road. If selected for award in 2025 by the Commonwealth of Transportation Board, funding for implementation will become part of the latter years of the 2025 Virginia Six-Year Improvement Plan.

3.) A Storm Water and Erosion Management Ordinance Update A combined Storm Water & Erosion Control update to the ordinance to separate these items out and form a new chapter. The Sediment Control Consolidation Bill Combine stormwater management and erosion and sediment control requirements under the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Act (VESMA), §§ 62.1-44.15:24 through 62.144.15:50 of the Code of Virginia. With the Consolidation Bill and VESM Regulation becoming effective on July 1, 2024, local ordinances for the administration of a Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Program2 (VESCP) or Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) will need to be updated to reflect both the new law and regulations.

4.) An Ordinance to Exempt Real Property Owned by the Cortona Foundation from Taxation Pursuant to Virginia Code Section 58.13651. The proposed ordinance will exempt from taxation real property used for charitable purposes owned by the Cortona Foundation: Owner The Cortona Foundation

KETTLE RUN BOYS SOCCER FALLS ONE WIN SHORT OF STATES

The jubilant Fauquier High softball team celebrates its Class 3 Region B title win over Kettle Run. Both teams played in state tournament quarterfinals Tuesday.

Belcher turns nifty double play as Fauquier nips Kettle Run 3-2 to win region title

By Peter Brewington Sports Editor

Brooke Belcher’s defensive wizardry at third base against Kettle Run last Thursday compelled Fauquier High softball coach Craig Gilmore to tell her she’d played like Brooks Robinson.

Belcher looked confused at the reference to arguably the greatest defensive third baseman in baseball history. “She gave me a blank look. I told her to ask her dad (about the Baltimore Oriole legend and Hall of Famer),” Gilmore said.

Like Robinson, Belcher was sublime, showing cat-like reflexes in making three huge plays, including a game-saving, game-ending stab of a line drive she turned into a double play to preserve Fauquier’s thrilling 3-2 win over the Cougars in the Class 3 Region B championship.

With the bases filled with Cougars in the top of the seventh inning, Kettle Run’s Ryan Drew lined it to Belcher, who backhanded the ball for an out, then never hesitated in firing a strike to first baseman Aliana Hawkins to double up Alexah Gordon off the base as the game ended in eye-blinking fashion.

“It was instinct, she never thought about it,” said Gilmore. “If she had not made that play, it was a bases-clearing double and we maybe lose that game. That play turned the game in the most unlikely way and ended it in five seconds.”

Fauquier (18-6) won its first region title in decades with the hard-fought win, while Kettle Run (12-11) earned its first bid to the state tournament since the school opened in 2008, so Cougar coach Rachael Ladia was still pleased.

“Sometimes these games go either way. I couldn’t be any more proud of my girls,” said Ladia.

With its ninth straight win, Fauquier advanced to host Tabb (14-8) in Tuesday’s Class 3 quarterfinals, while Kettle Run journeyed to meet Region A champion New Kent (22-2), also Tuesday.

Both teams qualified for states by winning region semifinals on May 28. No. 2 seed Fauquier eliminated No. 3 Goochland 6-0, while No. 4 Kettle Run ousted No. 8 Skyline 6-3.

For Fauquier it’s believed to be one of the first region titles in school history. Fauquier last made the

Kettle Run pitcher Hailey Pace (above) allowed two runs in her 3.2 innings in the region final with Aaliyah Alexander pitching the final 2.1 innings. state tournament in 2016 and 2014 but did not win the region title those years. Fauquier normally would have made states in 2021 when they played for the region title in but lost to Tuscarora 1-0 in extra innings.

They missed the state tournament due to pandemic era rules that just sent just the region champ to states.

Fans of both teams ringed Fauquier’s field for the May 30 local region showdown, filling gaps between the dugouts, sitting behind home plate and in the center field stands.

Fauquier made it 2-0 in the third inning on April Belcher’s two-run home run, a no-doubt shot to left field that also scored Savannah Smith.

It was April’s fifth homer of the season. “You try not to assume it’s gone but you could tell off the

sound of the bat,” said Gilmore. “It landed halfway up the trees.”

Kettle Run tied it at 2-2 in the top of the fifth, led by its two speedy, high contact lefties at the top of the batting order in Alexah Gordon and Ryan Drew.

Gordon slapped a single past the pitcher, then Drew bunted right in front of home plate with Falcon catcher Ashley Murphy grabbing it quickly and firing wide off first baseman Ashley Heflin’s glove and up the right field line. Gordon scored easily followed by Drew to make it 2-2.

Gilmore said that Drew’s speed forced Murphy to throw a little quickly. “Normally we have ample room to make that throw. She normally takes two steps onto the field of play,” said Gilmore, who praised Kettle Run’s two stars for generating offense.

“We put pressure on the defense anytime those two come up. That ball rolled in our favor fair by a couple of inches and we capitalized on the moment,” Ladia said.

The Falcons pushed in front 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth.

Lydia Lovell singled to right with one out, then stole second on the first pitch to Brooke Belcher.

Moments later Belcher sent a hard ground ball up the middle. Lovell wisely stopped to let the ball pass her, then scampered around third and home, scoring with a nifty popup slide as the throw was cut off.

After her game-winning hit, Brooke then made the defensive play of the game in the top of the seventh to deny the competitive Cougars.

Kettle Run’s Ladia knows how easily her Cougars could have scored three runs if Belcher had not snagged Ryan Drew’s liner.

“The third baseman was there each time. She made incredible plays to get to those. If those balls drop we might have had a different outcome,” Ladia said.

Gilmore said he banged his knee racing out of the dugout in jubilation and it’s still sore.

“Brooke made the play of the year,” the firstyear coach said.

Said Ladia of her Cougars, “I think that our team showed us that we’re the (strong) team we’re capable of being. The last two weeks we’re really clicking.”

‘This team is going to be a force’ Fauquier girls soccer falls to Brentsville in region final 1-0, states next

By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer

The Brentsville District High girls soccer team won the Class 3 state title last year.

Could the upstart Fauquier girls be the champion in 2024?

Judging by tightness of their duel last week, don’t count out the Falcons. While the Tigers pulled out a 1-0 win over visiting Fauquier in last Thursday’s Class 3 Region B final, there wasn’t a huge difference in the teams.

The No. 4-seeded Falcons often outplayed the No. 2-seeded Tigers in the first half with a tireless work rate before Brentsville refocused to prevail on the game’s lone goal by Riley French with six minutes left.

Brentsville coach Scott Kerns praised Fauquier’s feisty play. “I was joking with (Fauquier coach Bryan Black), I hate playing them because they just work all 80 minutes. That’s one of their keys to success, they go out for 80 minutes and work as hard as they possibly can,” Kerns said.

Both Fauquier (11-5-3) and Brentsville (16-2-1) next played in Tuesday’s Class 3 quarterfinals.

Fauquier visited Region A champion Lafayette (16-0), who fell to Brentsville 1-0 in the state final last season, while Brentville hosted Region A runner-up Tabb (12-5-1).

In defeating William Monroe in the regional semifinals, McKenna Locke and the Fauquier Falcons advanced to the state tournament for the first time in 21 years.

Fauquier’s appearance is the program’s first since 2003. The Falcons earned it by winning their region semifinal, upsetting No. 1 seed William Monroe 2-1 behind goals from McKenna Locke and Jasmine Twyman.

In only the second season under

Black, the Falcons have improved from just four wins last season to their first state berth in 21 years.

“Last year, we worked on our culture and made sure that everybody was there for the right reasons and really working on that family sister-

‘Big day for Falcon track’ Scott wins ninth state title as Fauquier track posts best state finish in 20 years

By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer

Every athlete goes into their event wanting to win. For the Fauquier High track team, finishing as runner-up at last weekend’s Class 3 state meet at Liberty University was similarly rewarding.

Despite only winning two events, the Falcons soared in Lynchburg, taking second and third in the team championships behind 14 total top-5 finishes.

“It was a big day for Falcon track. We had a good weekend and I’m very proud of the kids,” coach Quentin Jones said.

Senior Cassidy Scott won another triumphant state title in the 800 meters, as did seniors Annaka Busenlehner, Julia Crowther, junior Brooklyn Bartholomew and freshman Lyndsi Graves in the 4x100 relay, to lead the girls to a tie for second with Western Albemarle (59 points). Heritage (79) won the girls team title.

On the boys side, Zach Seidel’s second place in the 110 hurdles and Mason Hamilton, Aaron Lewis, David Mayfield and Wyatt Shaw’s second in the 4x100 relay led the Falcon boys (34) to third behind Rustburg (80.5) and Western Albemarle (57.5). The third-place finish is the boys’ best since 2015, when they also finished third.

Jones said the results were the culmination of a total team effort.

“I tried to take some of the stress off them by

And if one person went down, someone else stepped up, and that was huge,” Jones said. “I think almost everybody walked away on a high note.”

The Falcons’ triumph set a 20-year high as both the boys and the girls finished inside the top-3 in the same year for the first time since 2004, when the boys won the state title and the girls finished second.

Fauquier had an up-and-down start to the meet on Friday, receiving strong performances from seniors Stephanie Clark, who took third in the

discus (118 feet), and Mackenzie Hodul, who was third in the triple jump (36-2.5) and fourth in the high jump (5-0), and surprisingly early exits from seniors Wyatt Shaw and Dylan Damer.

Shaw, who has won three state titles in the high jump, and Damer, a top contender in the pole vault, both earned a “No Height” after failing on each of their first three attempts.

“If someone’s not having a great day, that’s where someone else picked it up, so we left the first day in good position,” Jones said. “We did enough to get some things done.”

Unlike Friday, Saturday was a strong positive for the Falcons, and they even had a bit of luck on their side. In the girls 4x100 relay, Brentsville led Fauquier in the final leg until the Tigers’ anchor tripped, handing the state title to the Falcons (49.65).

The boys 4x100 relay team also did well, taking second in 42.93 and scoring critical points. “Those (relays) kept the momentum going,” Jones said.

Senior Cassidy Scott also scored massive points for the Falcons in winning the 800 (2:12.95) and taking fifth in the 1,600 (5:10.15). In winning the 800, the legendary Scott concludes her career as a nine-time state champion.

“She’s going to be missed. I still remember when she was just a baby and her dad and mom were carrying her around the track meets, and as a little kid running with some of our girls, and then growing up and becoming an athlete… it’s been something else,” said Jones.

Despite Scott’s pedigree, Jones said she wasn’t favored to win either race based on her seed times, but the University of North Carolina commit dropped nine seconds in the 800 and 10 seconds in 1,600 from her time at regionals to deliver two strong results.

Collaboration for a cause

How Girl Scout cookies and puppies can boost business, help local nonprofits

By Tyler Ross

Ross R eal Estate

In the bustling world of real estate, standing out from the competition often means thinking outside the box.

There are over 35,000 real estate agents in Virginia and over 600 agents that sell properties in Fauquier County. Presently, with just 145 houses for sale in Fauquier, to earn opportunities for business means you need to stand out and capture the attention of home sellers and buyers. And remember, that’s just to earn the opportunity. It doesn’t guarantee the business.

For that opportunity, to earn that listing or buying appointment, real estate agents have got to market and advertise like mad in hopes of being the one of 600 who a prospective buyer or seller wants to meet. You need to stand out.

You’ve seen the marketing in action: billboards, license plates, wrapped cars, print ads in papers and magazines, online ads, videos, Tiktoks, mailers, business cards and more. As a result, many real estate agents are highly recognizable as their faces are everywhere. Everywhere.

Given this level of advertising, we real estate agents become faces of our community. More often than not, the first friend newcomers have when they move to town is their real estate agent. Their agent connects the newcomer with their own favorite vendors, restaurants, happy hour spots and event spaces. We become a walking, local yellow pages for information not just to newbies, but longtime been-heres, too. We become small town “famous” and are a resource for, and can have influence on, everyone around us.

Due to this influence, I call on my real estate agent friends to leverage your “fame.”

Let me say first, so many of my peers do this already. They sit on boards, chambers and business and networking groups. They collect food for the hungry, clothing for the homeless, are dedicated shoppers at local businesses and volunteer their time and donate their money to amazing causes and community endeavors. Our local association even

COURTESY

Tyler Ross, of Ross Real Estate, ran a promotion involving Girl Scout cookies and “Bruh,” a local rescue pup. The collaboration resulted in a sold home and wins for local Girl Scouts and the Fauquier County SPCA. has a committee whose exclusive work is to benefit the community through giving.

Beyond that, there’s an annual award for the community member of the year! If I was a betting man, and I am, I’d bet the real estate industry gives back to its community more than any industry. What I’d like to see though, is more blending of that altruism into the resources that go into marketing our personal businesses.

At some point in the last few years, I acknowledged the unfathomable amount of money and time dedicated to advertising and branding that was serving only myself and my clients and the corporations I sent my money to. Paying Zillow for leads, paying Realtor.com for leads, paying Google for SEO … all of this was making me sick and taking me away from the activities I preferred: actually selling and buying homes for my friends and clients. I thought there had to be a way to make those bland marketing expenses feel less like a cost of doing business and make them more fun and productive.

We’ve since gotten pretty creative.

Our latest effort is one I’m particu-

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of Virginia’s policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Commonwealth. We encourage and support advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, age, familial status, or national origin.

All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Virginia and federal fair housing laws, which make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or elderliness, or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.”

This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis.

larly proud of and continues to inspire new ideas. We started a giveaway of 45 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. To enter to win, a participant had to “like” the Ross Real Estate Facebook page, share the video we posted and make a donation from an Amazon Wish List to Fauquier’s SPCA. The results?

Long and short, we spent $265 between cookies and ad spending, $40 to Facebook and $225 to the local Girl Scout troop. The video reached over 10,000 people in our community. Our post was shared 41 times, exposing both Ross Real Estate and the Fauquier SPCA to thousands of people outside our existing audiences but still inside our community.

The community cleaned out the

Amazon wishlist and donated nearly $2,000 in goods to the SPCA. Additionally, the effort sparked a new idea that you can see now on our Instagram or Facebook page. We borrowed a puppy from the SPCA and featured him in our latest house tour, leveraging our audience and home selling effort in hopes of also getting “Bruh,” a happy little pup, adopted.

Be on the lookout for more of these!

Don’t get me wrong, this is extremely self-serving. The more eyeballs on Ross Real Estate, the more opportunities we get to earn business, and the more eyes we can get on the listings we’re selling for our clients. But, why not spread it out to charities and small businesses, as well, if we can? We can leverage our “fame” to hold up other businesses and charities and, at the same time, become more “famous” through cross-pollinating audiences. Beats the crap out of sending the money to a faceless company a two-connection airplane flight away.

My encouragement, via challenge to my real estate peers and any local business, is to think outside the box when it comes to standing out. Instead of deploying marketing dollars to “buy leads” or improve your search engine ranking, try collaborating with another small business or charity. Get weird. Do something fun.

It keeps the monies local, brings awareness to charities and other local businesses and gets eyeballs on you and the services you provide. We’re all inherently self-interested. We may as well shine the light on others while looking for our own spotlight!

FHS girls faced Lafayette in Class 3 quarterfinals SOCCER, from page 17 “I’m fortunate to have some great players around me, and we know that we are just getting started. This team is going to be a force for the foreseeable future, so we’re excited,” Black added.

FHS-Brentsville Round 2

The Tigers beat the Falcons 1-0 on a late Peyton McGovern goal in a hard-fought battle on April 12. The region final was more of the same.

“The second half, we came out with a lot more energy, we were more focused, we created a lot more chances,” Kerns said.

Fauquier’s Black said Brentsville picked up its game.

“They’ve got a couple of special players that really made a difference and put us on our heels. We wanted to have more attacking opportunities, and in the second half specifically, we ended up defending more than we wanted to, and that’s a nod to them. They did a good job in the second half.”

PHOTO BY PATRICK NYE

Mailee Perez and the Falcons faced Lafayette in Tuesday’s state quarterfinals.

A Kyla Kaczmarczyk cross from the left wing into the center of the box was deflected straight up into the air by Brentsville’s Reese Natysin, falling right into the lap of senior Riley French, who promptly flicked the ball into the back of the net for the regional championship winner.

“They beat us a couple of times on the outside, which truly exposed us. That’s when they got their opportunities,” Black said. “At halftime, I thought it was our game to win. I know they’re a great team, but I really felt we had them where we wanted them, and they came out in the second half and played differently and really tilted the field.”

Offensively, Fauquier played a 4-5-1 with Mckenna Locke opening at striker and Kate Coonce, Leah Howland, Ashley Perez, Mailee Perez and Lily Retana-Rodriguez in the midfield. With the midfielders aggressively pushing downfield with possession of the ball, the Falcons hunted a goal, but the Brentsville defense – which has only surrendered

two goals since suffering a 1-0 loss to Class 5 Independence on April 9 – was too tough to crack.

“We knew that our opportunities would be few and the ones that we did get, we needed to capitalize on. We did not,” Black said. “We wanted to attack through our wings and then work on crosses and balls across the box to beat that defense, and they’re very good.

There’s a reason why they’ve only let in two goals since Independence.”

Fauquier next faced Lafayette, but after beating top-seeded William Monroe and playing the defending state champions close twice, the Falcons know anything is possible.

“We don’t know anything about (Lafayette), but we also knew nothing about William Monroe. If they show up on the right side of the bed and have their best game, they’ll come out with a win. Hopefully that’s what happens because we want to see Brentsville again,” Black said.

“Our first half was good enough to win. Our second half was not, so we need to put two halves together.”

Other top girls performances came from senior Sadie Richards and freshman Lyndsi Graves. Richards took fourth in the shot put (34-6.5) while Graves, who ran the second leg on the winning 4x100 relay, took fourth in the

to rely on one person’s shoulders the whole way, and I know our team this year has definitely been a team because they take care of one another,” Jones said.

“This year there were many guys and girls that we relied on that had the ability to step up and score for us.”

George Samuel Weeks, Jr. George Samuel "Bandaddy" Weeks, Jr. 68, of Va., passed away onMay 12, 2024. He was born on September 10, 1955, in Washington, DC. It is with great heartache that we bid farewell to George S. Weeks, Jr., a pillar of the family, and a beacon of joy; his departure leaves a great void in the hearts of his children and grandchildren. Known amongst those who were closest to him, George was a very "punny" man, his jokes made all around him laugh. His loss will be felt deeply by the medical laboratory profession for which he contributed 45+ years of his life, traveling the United States and inspiring many young professionals in his wake.

George is survived by his daughters Jeanne Weeks, Catie Hanback and her husband Kehoe, Amanda Smith; son Bart Weeks and his wife Christina; grandchildren Parker, Caleb, Raylan, and Henley; and a sister Barbara Pearson.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Charles and Rena Wright, parents George S., Sr and Leona Weeks, brother Wilson Weeks, and his wife of 38 years Becky Holcomb-Weeks.

A celebration of life, potluck will be hosted by his children and grandchildren at the 4H Center in Front Royal, Virginia on June 8th from 1PM to 5PM. In lieu of flowers, George's children request that fond memories and stories be shared with them via the following email address: gamge2024@gmail.com Death Notice

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust” is a common burial phrase that symbolizes a person’s return to the earth. Many practice the symbolic act of tossing dirt onto a casket before it is lowered into the ground. It likely started with ancient Egyptians who placed sand on a body before burial. Jewish tradition calls for adding three spades of dirt or sand to represent the three levels of the soul.

Many cultures and religions believe that a person is born of the earth and returns to it when they die, signified by adding the earth to their casket. For non-religious communities, it can connect people to the deceased and each other while offering a gesture of respect, gratitude, or mourning.

Funeral practices are influenced by religious and cultural traditions, costs, and personal preferences. These factors help determine whether the funeral will be elaborate or simple, public or private, religious or secular. To learn about our services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431.

Karen Lee Greenwood, age 60, resident of Amissville, VA, passed away peacefully on May 24, 2024 in the arms of her family. Karen was a loving teaser, foul-mouthed, a phenomenal cook, as well as a formidable disc golf player. She welcomed all into her home, and you didn't leave without good food in your stomach, love in your heart, and maybe a few less dollars after losing a wager to her. Our hearts ache from losing her, but we know we are so darn lucky we had her in our lives while we did.

Survived by her husband, Joseph Michael Greenwood; her son Joseph Lee Greenwood (Ashleigh) of Centreville, VA and Jenny Renee Mavrich, née Greenwood, (Seth) of Arlington, VA; and three grandchildren, Ava Rain Walker, Julia Rose Greenwood, and Somaine Elowen Mavrich.

A party in Karen's honor is to be held at Rappahannock County Park in Washington, VA on Sunday, June 9, 2034 at 3:30pm.

Arrangements by Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton, VA. Online Condolences can be made at moserfuneralhome.com In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider a donation to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank in Karen's memory as she believed love is best shown by giving someone a good meal. https://www.brafb.org/
