Warrenton staff rejects data center site plan
Tree save, noise mitigation, other key details missing, town staff says By Peter Cary
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
Warrenton town staff members have cited a long list of deficiencies in Amazon’s initial site development plans for its data center on Blackwell Road. Their critique runs 41 pages and contains more than 350 comments from nine different departments. If all comments are addressed satisfactorily in accord with town codes, policies and regulations, “and the project is resubmitted with all deficiencies corrected,” the plan will be re-reviewed, the staff’s letter states. Two organizations opposed to the 220,000-square-foot data center to be built near the town’s northern entrance commended the town staff for
being thorough but said their review showed Amazon’s plan “is unacceptable and shows a stunning lack of respect for the town.” “The staff comments set forth in painstaking detail the omissions, deficiencies and errors in Amazon’s (site development plan or SDP),” the Piedmont Environmental Council, a conservation-oriented nonprofit, and Protect Fauquier, a citizens group, said in a joint statement. Citizens For Fauquier County, which also opposes the project, declined to comment because it has sued the town over its approval of a permit for the project. Mayor Carter Nevill, too, commended town staffers for their diligence and professionalism, though he disagreed with the two groups’ conclusions. See AMAZON, page 10

Showing their pride First-ever Pride event called a ‘historic moment’ for Warrenton By Jill Palermo
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
About 100 people gathered at the horse show grounds in Warrenton Thursday night to watch as the rainbow-colored Pride flag was raised over the town’s first-ever Pride event, held to celebrate and affirm the local LGBTQ community. Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill read a proclamation declaring Pride month in Warrenton. The recognition of June as Pride month, a time to acknowledge the challenges faced by the gay community and celebrate its acceptance, has been happening in cities and towns around the U.S. since the late 1990s. In brief remarks before reading the proclamation, Nevill called the event a celebration of love, freedom and inclusivity. “Love is love. Period. No exceptions,” Nevill said. The event was organized by James Cornwell, a Warrenton native and president of Fauquier Pride and Warrenton Pride. Cornwell called the event “a historic moment.” “I was so driven to one day do something like this to create a presence in our beautiful town of Warrenton,” Cornwell said before raising the flag. “Where people here today and
future generations can feel safe and walk freely to be who they are. You guys showing up tonight, in support, is just a step in the right direction. It’s absolutely overwhelming.” As Nevill looked on, Cornwell raised the Pride flag on the Warrenton Horse Show Grounds’ flagpole as the crowd cheered. “This moment is so absolutely beautiful,” Cornwell said. “To see so many people here ... come together, it is absolutely moving and each and every one of you are so appreciated.” Cornwell then cut a cake created for the event by the Haute Cakes Pastry Shop in downtown Warrenton. In an interview after the event, Nevill also called the event “a huge step” for the Town of Warrenton. “I believe there has always been, in our community, an acceptance, but it was conditioned acceptance,” Nevill said. “So as long as you behaved in a certain way, your acceptance was welcomed and was appreciated. But step outside that line, and repercussions would follow.” Nevill called himself an “ally” of the LGBTQ community and said participating in the event was personal for him because, over the years, he has looked back and questioned whether he did enough to help

Leesburg councilman, former prosecutor square off in Senate primary By Shannon Clark
Fauquier County precincts in the 31st Senate District
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Leesburg Town Councilman Zach Cummings and a former Loudoun County prosecutor Russet Perry are facing off in the upcoming Democratic Primary in the race for the 31st District state Senate seat. Both are campaigning on issues such as codifying abortion into state law and strengthening gun laws. The winner of the June 20 primary will face Republican Juan Pablo Segura in the Nov. 7 election. Segura, 35, is the co-founder of Babyscripts, a virtual maternity care company, and the founder of District Doughnuts. The newly drawn district includes parts of both Loudoun and Fauquier counties and is considered a political tossup. About 90% of the district’s voters live in Loudoun County, while the remaining 10% live in northern Fauquier County. Voters in the district narrowly supported Gov. Glenn Youngkin in 2021 but picked Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in the 2018 election by a 17-point margin, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. There is no incumbent in the race. Longtime state Sen. Jill Vogel, R-28, represents part of the district but announced she wouldn’t run again earlier this year. Vogel has endorsed Segura in the race. Cummings, 40, said he decided to run for state office after conversations with local Leesburg politicians and was influenced by his involvement in the town council. “I had a conversation with Kelly Burke, the mayor of Leesburg, and Phyllis Randall, the chair of the (Loudoun) board of supervisors, and they both thought it would be great to have someone run for state senate who understands local government,” Cummings said. Perry, 39, is a former Loudoun County prose-
Russet Perry
cutor and CIA officer. She said she was inspired to run by her parents and is touting her former career experience. “I’m running for state Senate to expand opportunities for every person in our district to have the same opportunities I had – to work hard and see success,” Perry said. As of March 31, Perry had raised $164,809 toward her campaign in 2023, while Cummings had raised $34,221 according to VPAP.
On abortion
Cummings platform covers numerous issues, but if elected he said his priority is codifying access to reproductive health care into Virginia law. “Someone who looks like me,” Cummings said in reference to his gender, “shouldn’t be in a doctor’s office with a woman, trying to help them make decisions that should be made between them, their doctor and their family.” For Perry, advocating for a women’s right to choose stems back to having a teenage daughter. If elected, Perry told the Fauquier Times she will fight against Youngkin’s push for a 15-week abortion ban in the state. Currently, abortion is legal in Virginia up to 26 weeks and six days of a wom2023 Women’s Business Council Annual Sponsors Alls Real Estate Appleton Campbell

Washer on data centers, solar farms
Washer is a managing partner for ICS Financial, a financial planning firm in The Plains owned by his parents, Michael and Melissa Washer. Mitchell, 59, owns Superior Paving, of Gainesville, which does asphalt paving and road resurfacing for residential and commercial clients and the Virginia Department of Transportation. Washer was born in Alabama but was raised in Prince William County. He’s campaigning as a fiscal conservative who would protect the county’s rural nature by prohibiting data centers and solar farms. “I watched (Prince William) evolve over the decades and become a place I did not really recognize anymore,” Washer said, during an interview at ICS Financial. “I started to build the opinion of, when you have a rural area and you have development come and change the face of it, you lose a lot of the core values of that area.” In February, the Warrenton Town Council approved a special use permit to allow Amazon to build a new data center on Blackwell Road behind Country Chevrolet at the town’s northern entrance. Washer told the Fauquier Times he disagrees with the council’s decision and if elected will oppose future data centers. “My stance is, (right now) you have a fork in the road; either go with the rest of Northern Virginia (in data center development), and just become a county that changes the theme of itself and becomes an unrecognizable county in several years, or do you stay hard with the values and traditions that you want to uphold in the county?” Washer said. “And make sure that you’re actually representing the people.”

Washer attended the Jan. 6, 2021, rally and attack on the U.S. Capitol with his parents because, he said, he wanted to hear former President

Donald Trump speak for the last time. He said he would attend a similar event again if he “felt the need to support a president.” “It was the last time that I was going to be able to hear President Trump speak,” Washer said. “So, I wanted to go and support him. I heard him, it was awesome, and we stayed on the grounds all day. Nothing more, nothing less.” Washer said he does not question the outcome of the 2020 election.
On school funding
During the past year, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors received multiple requests from teachers, school division staff and residents to provide additional funding for Fauquier County Public Schools. In March, the board approved the fiscal year 2024 budget that denied the school board’s request for 5% raises for teachers and staff. The school board provided the raises within the existing budget but had to cut more than 70 staff positions to do so. Washer said he does not know if he would approve or deny future requests from the school board for extra funding but said supervisors need to be “cognizant of the fact that they are using taxpayer dollars.” “The supervisors are looking at the whole county budget,” Washer said. “The school board is one subset of the expenditures of the county. ... The supervisors have to weigh out what is most necessary. You’ve got a lot of public services (to fund). It’s hard for me to give a hard answer on whether I would say no or yes.” Washer’s platform also addresses the need to protect Second Amendment rights to gun ownership and encourage support for local small businesses.

Mitchell on development
A county resident for 14 years, Mitchell said he is running to apply his experience in service and business if elected to the board of supervisors. “I have always found ways to serve this community, and I feel like my business experience is a great opportunity to serve the community in a greater way,” Mitchell said. “I feel like the business of the county would be helped by people who have business experience, by managing the cost side of the county, before we consider additional tax dollars.” Mitchell’s platform focuses on four areas: service, conservation, business development and lowering taxes. If elected, Mitchell said one of the ways he wants to reduce taxes while still funding public services is by adding water and sewer capacity to the county’s service districts so they can accommodate new businesses. “Right now, we have designated service districts throughout the county that are part of the comprehensive plan,” Mitchell said. “Unfortunately, we have little or no capacity to offer those services to new businesses. The thing that I’ve been talking most about is finding ways to provide services within our service districts so that we can attract and retain businesses in our community,” Mitchell said. With his campaign focused on conservation, Mitchell said he is not in favor of allowing data centers “in the Marshall District” or expanding the size of the service districts. When asked about the Warrenton Town Council’s decision on the Amazon data center, Mitchell said
he could not say whether he agrees with the town council’s decision to approve a SUP for the facility. “The people that made that decision were provided an incredible amount of information before they made that decision,” Mitchell said. “I would need to have the benefit of that information before I can have a valid opinion myself.”
On school funding
Regarding school division funding decisions, Mitchell acknowledged there are unmet salary needs, but said he would need to become familiar with the cost of the school division’s budget before approving any requests for additional funding.
On adding firefighters
Mitchell said one of the ways he would want to encourage more volunteering in the county would be through promoting more competitive benefits for volunteer firefighters in lieu of hiring more professional firefighters and raising taxes. One example he suggests is providing volunteer firefighters a 100% tax credit on the vehicle personal property tax. “Every new professional firefighter we need to hire is $124,000 a year,” Mitchell said. “If we were to need to replace all of the volunteer (firefighters) and go 100% professional, it would cost $33 million. It would seem to me that incentivizing the volunteers would be a more economical way to ... slow the pace of trending towards professional staff.” Mitchell told the Fauquier Times he did not attend the Jan 6, 2021, insurrection.

New brewery slated to open in former Wart Hog space this fall Silver Branch Brewing Co. to expand with expected help from state, county By Jill Palermo
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
A new brewery and restaurant are slated to open this fall in the Old Town Warrenton building formerly home to the now-shuttered Wart Hog Brewery. Silver Branch Brewing Company, based in Silver Spring, Maryland, will open a second location in the former Wart Hog building in time for “an epic Oktoberfest in late September,” according to Silver Branch spokesman Chris Bonnell. Silver Branch Brewing Company has been in business in Maryland since 2017. It sells its craft beers in area grocery stores as well as Nationals Park. The brewery will invest $3 million to expand into Warrenton, according to an announcement from Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Its new Warrenton location is expected to create 38 new jobs, the governor’s office said in a news release. The new brewery and restaurant, dubbed “Silver Branch Brewing Company’s Warrenton Station,” will feature a full menu and bar in addition to the company’s internationally styled craft beer selection, Bonnell said in an email. Silver Branch Brewing Company was among several regional breweries that were approached by state and local officials about the former Wart Hog space, Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill told the Fauquier Times Monday morning. Nevill credited the Fauquier County Department of Economic Development for bringing the deal to fruition and said he is excited about an established regional brewery adding to the town’s already booming craft brewery scene. “They have a stable … broad range of offerings,” Nevill said of Silver Branch Brewing Company.
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JILL PALERMO
Silver Branch Brewing Company at Warrenton Station is slated to open in the former Wart Hog building by late September. “These are already market-tested success stories.” Wart Hog Brewing Company opened in Warrenton in 2017 in a renovated garage at 41 Beckham St. It received a $600,000 economic development grant from the state of Virginia, and Wart Hog’s three partners invested about $2.4 million in the facility, according to news reports at the time. Wart Hog’s restaurant and taproom closed in February 2022, in part because the establishment struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Doug Parsons, director of Fauquier County’s Department of Economic Development. “Certainly, COVID didn’t help them or anyone else in a business where people gather in groups,” Parsons said. “But they did a great job of fixing the building to what it is today.” The owners of Silver Branch Brewing Company, Christian Layke and Brett Robison, first heard about the vacant Wort Hog building through a family member. Then they viewed the building and began talking with Fauquier County officials a few months ago, Parsons said. Silver Branch Brewing Company is expected to benefit from both state- and county-funded
economic development incentives. From the state, the new brewery is slated to receive up to $6,300 in grant money through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. The program provides funding for recruiting and training new employees and is based on the number of jobs created by the new brewery, Parsons said. Silver Branch Brewing Company is also a candidate for a tourism zone incentive grant and a micro-loan from Fauquier County. The tourism incentive allows eligible establishments to receive a rebate on their business personal property taxes for a few years, depending on specifics that will still need to be negotiated with Fauquier County officials. The grant requires a public hearing before the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors and is expected to be on the board’s agenda in the coming months, Parsons said. The brewery is also considering a micro-loan from the county, the application for which would be reviewed by a committee of local bankers working with the Fauquier County Economic Development Authority. Wild Hare Cider received a micro-loan of about $50,000 to remodel its building on South Third Street in Old Town Warrenton, Parsons said. Micro-loans typically carry a lower interest rate than traditional loans, Parsons said. Both Nevill and Parsons emphasized the advantage of bringing an established brewery to the town that would complement the breweries and restaurants already in operation. “I think it creates a little hub of commerce … with a good variety of stuff for folks to choose from,” Parsons said, noting that he appreciates the cooperation from town, county and state officials in bringing Silver Branch Brewing Company to Warrenton.

AMAZON, from page 1
“I do not find it acceptable to all of a sudden say well, now Amazon is being the bad guy, look how much we’re finding wrong.’ I look at this as (the) staff has done their jobs 100% from day one until the point now. So, this is a testament to how qualified professional staff is,” he said in an interview Thursday. Bohler Engineering, which has an office in Warrenton and which prepared the site plan for Amazon, has scheduled a meeting with town officials to discuss the comments on Wednesday, June 7.
Substantial omissions
The staff’s comments focus heavily on tree preservation, noise mitigation, building depictions, and erosion and runoff controls. While dozens of comments are redundant or ask for minor corrections -- citing the position of a stop sign or noting the size of drain pipe, for instance – others, particularly from the town’s zoning staff, note substantial errors. Those include references to a Dominion substation on site when Dominion has agreed to locate it elsewhere, denoting the data center height as 42 feet when it was approved at 37 feet, and a lighting plan staffers describe as “largely illegible.” Some of the strongest criticism is based on 25 conditions that Amazon and the town agreed on when the council approved a special use permit for the project on Feb. 14. Many of those conditions set forth requirements for the site plan, but the staff noted that a number of those items are missing. They include a tree preservation plan, descriptions of noise-producing equipment and noise studies, building elevations and more. All told, the number of recommendations and requirements suggest that the project’s site plan will not be approved quickly. With the receipt of these comments, Amazon must submit a second site plan that fixes the deficiencies in order to go forward. The staff will then have 45 days to comment on that plan. It
“The data center site plan is large, and the 350 comments includes all department reviews. Site plans that include conditions tied to a special use permit approval tend to generate more comments,” he wrote. A massive and controversial data center project in Prince William County known as the Prince William Digital Gateway is undergoing a similar submission and comment process for a rezoning application and just filed its third rezoning application in eight months. Asked to comment, Amazon spokesman Duncan Neasham sent a statement Tuesday, June 6 that described the feedback as part of “normal and expected part of the process when beginning such a development.” “The Blackwell Road site has undergone extensive environmental, sound, design and engineering studies that were presented in public hearings before the town approved the project to proceed,” the statement said. “The site development plan reviews underway are the next stage of a standard and robust process to repurpose an abandoned junk yard into a state-of-the-art data center facility that will bring economic benefits to the residents of Warrenton for years to come.”
Tree preservation, noise mitigation
The Warrenton staff members’ May 19 critique of Amazon’s SDP came from officials in zoning, planning, transportation, fire, police, public works, utilities and stormwater management. The subject that drew comments from most agencies was tree preservation. The matter became a controversial topic in Warrenton in March when an Amazon contractor, with the town’s permission, cut down more than 200 trees on the site. Critics complained that one of the conditions of Amazon’s special use permit was that the company would submit a “tree preservation plan at time of site plan” that would “maximize on-site vegetation.” When Amazon submitted its site development plan on March 22, the

wrote, “These sheets are not accompanied by a tree preservation plan, nor is staff able to determine where the tree save area is delineated, … how trees are being replaced or how substantial conformity with the conditions of approval are being met.” They asked that a year-old tree survey be updated and that the site plan identify the tree preservation areas, indicate trees to be removed and how they will be replaced and explain how the trunks of the already-cut trees will be removed without further arboreal damage. And they wanted to know how remaining trees will be protected from construction activity. In addition, they ask for a tree preservation easement in all areas of existing woodlands and a forest maintenance plan to address dead and dying trees and replacing them as needed. Where trees are used to screen the data center from view, they note that the conditions for approval require Amazon to plant double the number of evergreens that the town ordinance requires. In his statement, Neasham said Amazon has already conducted “comprehensive environmental studies of the site” that identified dozens of trees found to be unhealthy, dead or invasive species. Neasham said the company is committed to planting new native, drought-tolerant trees “that go above and beyond existing requirements.” If tree removal touched a nerve among some Warrenton residents, fear of data center noise was an even bigger issue. For that reason, the town council built into its approval conditions several noise requirements. One was that the SDP delineate the building’s noise-emitting equipment and that the structure be filled out in phases with each phase meeting noise standards. The staff did not find either of those things in the SDP. “Noise emitting equipment is not delineated, nor is the plan phased as per SUP condition #2 Resolve,” wrote the town’s zoning staff. They asked that, in the next submission, the plan present noise studies for each phase of construction and specify what kind of noise mitigation it was going to use. Several other items required by the conditions are also missing. For instance, the SUP conditions state that “at time of site plan, the applicant shall provide all elevations for the building in compliance with the Town of Warrenton zoning ordinance.” Elevations are scale drawings that depict side and end views of structures. Yet the town zoning staff wrote, “To-scale elevations not provided. Provide to-scale elevations in conformance” with the conditions. They also asked for elevations of its guard booth, its cargo building, the fuel tanks for the building’s 29 industrial generators and everything else
and submitted for the SUP approval.”
Power lines, stormwater management, hiring
Other parts of the plan, while not missing, need revision. On one sheet of the plan, the main building is noted as 42 feet high, while its maximum permitted height under town code is 37 feet, the planners said. The “lighting plan is largely illegible as presented; revise so all labels are at a legible scale,” they write. And if blasting is to occur, a plan is needed to protect utilities. The staff noted that the conditions require that all power lines serving the data center must be placed underground. Yet the site plan does not show these lines or where they would go. That may be because Dominion Energy has not yet said where its distribution to the data center would run. But burying power lines is a big issue for residents who do not want to see them overhead. In his statement, Neasham said Amazon “has committed to funding/ cost-sharing and working with our energy provider to underground distribution lines for the Blackwell Road site.” The bulk of the report-- 23 pages --deals with stormwater management and erosion control planning. Town stormwater and erosion officials cite 157 things they want corrected or improved. While some are just details, others appear more serious. Permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Virginia Water Protection and other agencies all need updating. Missing are 22 notes that are typically part of a soil erosion and sediment control narrative, and a stormwater pollution prevention plan will be needed for plan approval, the letter states. Of particular concern are stockpiles of dirt from grading or excavation, which the staff says are too close to wetlands. “Stockpiles should be located in areas that do not have a high potential for contributing sediments to stormwater facilities, neighboring properties, natural waterways and sensitive environmental areas,” they write. They demand details on stockpile size, location and erosion prevention. Beyond these details, which would normally be depicted on plans and drawings, the town staff also asked for explanations of how Amazon will meet several requirements stipulated by the conditions. One is what Amazon will do if it stops using the site. Another is how it plans to offer employment to town residents. Another is how it will set up promised training programs in local schools. And the last thing they seek is an acknowledgement by Amazon that it may be punished for violation of any of the 25 conditions for approval. Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com

We live in the time of worldwide instant communication—with cell phones, text messaging and social media newsfeeds all vying for the fastest way transmit information. We forget that it hasn’t always been this way. On June 19, 1865—more than two years after Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation—federal troops traveled to Galveston, Texas, to pass the message that all African American slaves should be freed. (Obviously there was a lag in the communication.) Short for “June 19th,” Juneteeth has been celebrated by some states since 1866. It wasn’t recognized as a federal holiday, however, until 156 years later when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act on June 16, 2021. Also known by other names, such as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day or Black Independence Day, observers celebrate the historical occasion with parties, prayers and parades. In honor of this tradition, there are several local events being held to celebrate Juneteenth this year.

Fauquier Times | June 7, 2023
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Amazon’s data center site plan deserves no respect Earlier this year, Warrenton Town Councilman Jay Heroux lectured residents to “show respect for Amazon.” This was during a town council work session in January. (Actually, residents hadn’t been particularly disrespectful to Amazon, unless you consider it disrespectful to make legitimate challenges to incomplete and deceptive Amazon presentations.) Minutes later, Fauquier resident Anne Ziegler responded publicly to Heroux, saying “show respect where respect is due.” Anne Ziegler had it right. Jay Heroux had it exactly wrong. It is Amazon that is being disrespectful. And now we have the latest show of disrespect by Amazon. Amazon’s site development plan (SDP) is so full of errors, inconsistencies and omissions it took 41 pages of comments by the Warrenton town staff to itemize the problems. Let me repeat: 41 pages. Amazon’s SDP does not comply with the special use permit the town council passed to allow the data center on multiple counts. Here are just four examples: • SUP condition 4 states: “There shall be no electric substation constructed on the property.” Amazon’s SDP shows a substation on the property. • SUP condition 6(c) states: “The facility shall be no greater than 37 feet in height.” Amazon’s SDP shows a 42-foot building height.
• SUP condition 2 states: “The applicant shall produce a site development plan that delineates the external noise emitting equipment that is to be installed and activated at each phase of the building.” Amazon ignores this and provides no information. Nothing. • SUP condition 19 states: “The applicant shall provide a tree preservation plan at time of site plan that seeks to minimize land disturbance and maximize on-site vegetation.” Amazon did not submit a tree preservation plan, and, in fact, has already clear-cut hundreds of trees on the site without any required permits. In addition, Amazon’s SDP is rife with errors and sloppiness, including an illegible lighting plan, errors in setback, a public sidewalk on the edge of the site that fails to connect to anything, a 10-foot by 10-foot bore pit in the median of Lee Highway, which will disrupt traffic flow on the major entrance to the town, errors in landscaping and screening, omission of electric line connections and grossly incomplete and deficient plans for erosion and sediment control. These issues are just the tip of the iceberg. If anyone has any lingering belief that Amazon will be a “good neighbor” in the small town of Warrenton, I urge you to read all 41 pages of the town staff’s comments. On a more positive note, Protect Fauquier wants to publicly commend the town staff for a very thorough review of the Amazon SDP. It
surely required many hundreds of hours of staff time to conduct the review and itemize all the inconsistencies, errors and omissions. It must have been a very frustrating and time-consuming exercise. We are thankful for the diligence of town staff. Protect Fauquier has asked the Warrenton Town Council to publicly repudiate Amazon and to hold Amazon’s feet to the fire on each and every issue identified by the town staff. And we hope Jay Heroux will recognize his error: It is Amazon that needs a lecture on respect, not the citizens. CINDY BURBANK Protect Fauquier Warrenton

FAUQUIER’S WYATT SHAW LEAPS 6-8½ TO BREAK RECORD AT STATE TRACK MEET Falcon Scott wins two titles, Kettle Run’s Carlson, Liberty’s Wilson-McCoy also capture gold in Lynchburg By Matthew Proctor
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
After taking second in the boys high jump at regionals, Fauquier’s Wyatt Shaw was one of the favorites at the Class 4 state track and field outdoor championship, but no one could have expected what he would do. Jumping six feet, eight and a half inches, the junior improved his jump by over four inches and broke the state high jump record on his way to winning the state championship last weekend at Liberty University in Lynchburg. “We’re still stunned with him. How high he’s going, he’s 5-8 and he jumps 6-8, that’s some big time jumping right there,” Falcon coach Quentin Jones said. “I think 6-8 was the state record and he went 6-8.5. He did well, he really did well. Very proud of him.” Shaw broke the previous state mark of 6-8 by Mandrell Jackson (Eastern View) in 2016 and Daenah Pressley (Eastern View) in 2017. Fauquier junior Cassidy Scott won state titles in the 800-meter dash and the 1,600, while Kettle Run’s Hannah Carlson won the shot put and Liberty’s Ryan Wilson-McCoy took first in the triple jump.

Fauquier girls take fifth, boys finish 13th
With competitors in 12 events, the Fauquier girls had the potential to finish high up the leaderboard, and they did. The FHS girls delivered six finishes in the top eight as they shot up to fifth in the standings with 42 points. The Falcon boys also performed well as they scored in four of their nine events to finish 13th with 21 points. “We have events that we were going to be scoring in. We knew other teams were going to have them, too. But I’m really happy with our places,” said Jones. “I think the girls exceeded our expectations, and on the boys side, I think they exceeded expectations as well.” Fauquier’s top girls performer was junior Cassidy Scott, who added to her collection of state titles. She now has six. She won the 800 in 2:17.07, then dominated the field in the 1,600, winning by
nearly 10 seconds at 4:53.74. Jones said Scott has grown more confident over time. “She was fired up and ready to go,” said the FHS coach. “I asked her the night before, ‘What’s your game plan in the 1,600? You ready to roll. What are you thinking about doing?’ She goes, ‘Game plan’s to win.’ So, she set herself up mentally and physically ready to go.” Scott’s two state championships adds to her lucrative collection of goal medals. She won her first state titles last year as a sophomore at the outdoor state championships where she took first in the 800 and 1,600, then won the 1,000 and the
1,600 at the indoor championships in February. Falcon girls also shined in field events with junior Stephanie Clark and senior Madison Bayliff putting in impressive performances in the discus as they both finished in the top four. Clark took second at 116-3 and Bayliff fourth at 114-6. Senior Evie Goetz also had a big day, amassing points in the long jump and triple jump. At 1710.5, Goetz took third in the long jump, then took sixth in the triple jump with a personal record of 35-7.75. See TRACK, page 23
Kettle Run girls lacrosse blanked by Dominion 19-0 in state quarters By Billy Marin

Kettle Run made the Class 4 state tournament for the second straight year, losing to Dominion 19-0 in the quarterfinals last Friday in Leesburg.
The Kettle Run girls lacrosse team was beaten handily by defending state champion Dominion High 19-0 in last Friday’s Class 4 state quarterfinal. While the road loss to the same team that knocked them out of last year’s state tournament in the same round was a difficult way to end the season, coach Addy Foudray said it was a worthwhile journey. “I told my team that we knew it was going to be a tough game, and that making it this far is something to be incredibly proud of,” Foudray said. The Cougars had a strong season, finishing 12-5 and regional runners-up to Meridian, who beat them 25-5 in the regional championship game.
“The girls know we have tough opponents that we play. I always tell them ‘Athletes have to have short memories,’ so we’ll put those games behind us and focus on the positives from our season,” Foudray said. “We had a lot of really great things that we saw from the team.” Kettle Run could stop the Titans, who were faster, more technically adept, and more confident. Dominion got off to a strong start, scoring from the opening possession and never letting up. Seniors Maura Schroeder and Lindsey Wright led the Titan attack, scoring five and three goals, respectively, with junior Ava Field adding three. See LACROSSE, page 18

‘A HECK OF A GAME’ Kettle Run baseball loses late 1-0 lead, falls to Tuscarora 3-1 in region semis By Peter Brewington

At far right, sophomore Jacob Mulhern pitched well in Kettle Run’s tough 3-1 region semifinal loss to Tuscarora on May 30. Above, junior right fielder Sean Hallett takes a cut. Run gained confidence. He scattered four hits with three strikeouts and three walks in his five innings, with just one earned run. “He was throwing well. His count was not a consideration. I was going to ride him as long as we could. The goal was to survive that first game. If we can win, our ticket is punched to states,” said Thorpe. “Jake did a nice job keeping a senior heavy lineup with a lot of kids going to the next level off balance and in check.” Senior Damen Tapscott came on in the sixth and fired two scoreless innings with two strikeouts.

Kettle Run’s lone run came in the first. With two out, Nate Wiles reached on an error at third base, then moved to third on Sean Martin’s crisp opposite field single up the first base line. With Peyton Mehaffey at the plate, Cowen was called for a balk on the first pitch with Wiles scoring for a 1-0 lead and Martin going to second. “He did not come to a complete stop. He was quick pitching and got a little caught up in in it,” Thorpe said of Cowen. The Cougars had fired the first salvo in a tight game, but generated very little offense, going 0-for-12 over the
last four innings after Mehaffey’s loud double to open the fourth. All credit went to Cowen, who struck out 11 Cougars, with many saying they couldn’t get a read on the 6-foot-3 lefty. Cowen did not walk anyone and allowed three hits in his six innings. “He had a funky delivery, sort of a three-quarters from a lefthander with run on it. A lot of my guys said it had anywhere from five to six inches of run. I’ve got two lefties on my team and we can’t duplicate what we saw,” said Thorpe. See BASEBALL, page 18

Halfway through Kettle Run’s Class 4 Region C baseball showdown with visiting Tuscarora on May 30, there was an uneasiness in both dugouts and in the stands. Upstart Kettle Run led 1-0 at home against Brendan Cowen, Tuscarora’s hard-to-hit Virginia Tech pitching recruit. With Cougar sophomore Jacob Mulhern pitching a gem, a narrow path to victory and a Class 4 state quarterfinal appearance was there for the host Cougars. It was not to be, as Tuscarora (233) scored three times in the top of the fifth and won 3-1. “I wish we had done more offensively,” said Kettle Run coach Ty Thorpe. “The kids did great. We competed with them when I don’t think many gave us a chance to compete with that team. I’m proud of our guys,” said Thorpe. Playing its fourth straight postseason game at home after sweeping Fauquier, Handley and Sherando to win the Northwestern District tournament, the Cougars (10-7) were led by the competitive 5-foot-7 Mulhern, who dodged some trouble in the first, second and third innings, then pitched a 1-2-3 fourth as Kettle

‘We don’t want this to be our peak’ Fauquier’s superb boys soccer season ends with 6-1 region loss to Tuscarora By Billy Marin
Special to the Fauquier Times
The scrappy Fauquier High boys soccer team that lost 6-1 to Tuscarora on May 30 may be disappointed in how their season ended, but they’re holding their heads high after achieving more than many expected. The Falcons did not win a district game in 2022 but bounced back in a big way to win the Northwestern District regular season title before losing in the Class 4 Region C semifinal to close with a 10-9 mark. “We want to build on our success. People expected us to be the team at the bottom again, but we showed that we have talent to bring to the table and quality, both on and off the field,” Fauquier coach Chase Davenport said. With a chance to make the Class 4 state tournament on the line in Leesburg, the visiting Falcons were outplayed by a fast, technically adept and intelligent Tuscarora squad. The Huskies (14-3-3) were led by senior forward Ethan Frazier, who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist. Frazier kicked off the scoring in the third minute, chipping Fauquier goalkeeper Jacob Glick. The Huskies extended the lead to 2-0 in the seventh minute when defender Diego Avelar scored from a corner kick. The Falcons did not roll over despite the early deficit. Sophomore Chris Guevara and junior Erik Lobo worked exceptionally hard to lead the Fauquier press, making it diffi-

In the 25th minute, Lobo won the ball in the middle of the field and found freshman Josue Garcia on the wing. Garcia beat his man and found Chris Guevara with a great through ball with Guevara calmly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper to make it a one-goal game. While Tuscarora was always in control, the Falcons created solid
pressure for the last 15 minutes of the first half. Senior Nate Hensley, combining with Lobo and Guevara, created opportunities. Despite their peskiness the Falcons never really came close to scoring. With the last kick of the half, Tuscarora found Frazier dropping deep from his position as a central forward, leaving space for the darting run of senior Bryan Polo, who took Frazier’s first-time pass and rocketed

the shot into the near post for a 3-1 halftime lead. “We made little mistakes and we said before that game that if we made mistakes they were going to make us pay for it and that’s what they did. Good teams make bad mistakes turn into good things for them, and that’s what they did. We kept giving them chances, and they were always going to start taking them,” Davenport said. The third goal at the end of the first half was deflating for the Falcons, who never got back into the game. Davenport said that “The first half was a good fight, we would’ve liked a different outcome obviously but the boys fought well. We just couldn’t find a rhythm in the second half.” Tuscarora added three more goals in the second half, with Frazier converting a penalty, Junior William Menjivar converting a cross, and Frazier finally finishing off his hat-trick with a good finish into the bottom left corner from outside of the penalty box. While the loss was definitive, Fauquier’s youth gives Davenport hope that this season is the beginning of positive growth. “We’re only losing five seniors, so we know we can build on this. We don’t want this to be our peak we want it to be something we can build on next year and people are going to know about us. We want to be motivated because of that target that’s going to be on our back,” Davenport said. The Fauquier coach expressed appreciation for his team, saying, “I couldn’t ask for better players, on and off the field. The seniors showed the guys how to be winners and how to learn from the bad and excel with the good.”
Cougars stunned by Broad Run, 10-8

Tuscarora’s three runs came in the fifth. After a leadoff groundout, Burkart lined a single past third and stole second on a close play, as catcher Trent DeRosa’s throw arrived seemingly in time. “It looked like the kid slid to the right field side and we made the tag. It was tough to see. My guys said they got him,” said Thorpe. Cole Keel then singled to center to score Burkart for a 1-1 tie. Braydon Kelman singled to center on the first pitch sending Keel to second. Thorpe came out to talk to Mulhern, who soon fell behind 3-0 on Isaac McIntosh, who was granted an intentional walk to load the bases. Connor Quill next sent a short dribbler to Mulhern, who picked it up in front of the pitcher’s mound and lobbed it to DeRosa, with the throw going over the catcher’s head as Keel scored for a 2-1 lead and courtesy runner Tripp Bracken went to third. “We had a chance to get out of the inning but it was a misfortunate turn of events. The way both teams pitched who knows how long the game would have gone,” said Thorpe. Tuscarora made it 3-1 as Jimmie Domingue hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Bracken. Mulhern struck out Nick Sheehan to end the threat. For the Cougars, it was an example how little things mean a lot in baseball. “If that call at sec-
Said Dominion coach Diane Traynor, “We always want to play better than the last game. If we do build a lead, we’re looking to win every hustle play out there so that we’re not letting up at all. We look for things like winning ground balls, draw controls, those kinds of things.” Their hustle was apparent, refusing to let Kettle Run hold possession and keeping play in their attacking half. Through that aggression, Dominion built a 14-0 lead at halftime, meaning the game was all but over before the second half began. For Dominion, this game marks the start of their state title defense. “We’ve had a vision all along of trying to get ourselves into that state final game. Every week we’ve built on that, and I think we’re looking good,” Traynor said. In the second half, Dominion slowed play down slightly and rotated their squad, but their defensive tenacity still meant Kettle Run was unable to get a goal. Despite Dominion’s dominance, Foudray explained that the experience is a plus. “We have a young team, and we saw a lot of growth and I think that’s something to build on. For those young kids, to be able to get out here into a state tournament so early on in their careers is a great experience, so we’re trying to take that positivity and move on,” Foudray said.

“We played a heck of a game,” Kettle Run coach Ty Thorpe told his players after last week’s seasonending loss. ond had gone differently on that steal attempt it puts us in a better position,” said Thorpe. From there it was all Tuscarora as Kettle Run went 0-for-9 in the last three innings. Burkart came on to close in the seventh and he struck out two more Cougars, giving Huskies’ pitching 13 Ks on the night. After the game Thorpe thanked all the seniors and told the returning players,“To keep working because there could be someone coming that might outwork you. I said if you work hard, we can shock some people and I think we did that this year. We played a heck of a game against that kind of talent.”

‘IT HURTS BAD’: KETTLE RUN’S BREAKOUT BOYS LACROSSE SEASON ENDS Cougars frustrated by Broad Run 10-8 in state quarterfinals By Matthew Proctor
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
With the dreams of reaching high school lacrosse nirvana, the Kettle Run High boys’ ambitious season ended in heartbreak last Friday. In the blistering 90-degree Nokesville heat, Broad Run cooled down the Cougars’ prolific attack to capture the 10-8 win in the Class 4 state quarterfinals. “We just didn’t have it tonight, and it hurts bad,” Kettle Run coach Bryan Logan said. Affected by the heat from the 6 p.m. start, both squads began slow and sloppy, but as the Spartans’ offense found its rhythm in the second quarter, the Cougars couldn’t keep up. Taking a 4-3 lead into halftime, Broad Run extended the lead to 10-6 halfway through the fourth. Despite Kettle Run’s best efforts to stage a comeback, it was too little, too late. “We turned it over so much, we did it all night. Turnovers killed us tonight. Maybe a little bit of the heat, but they just didn’t have it,” said Logan. Returning to states for the first time since 2019, Kettle Run (14-4) entered the tournament with high expectations, and while their season ends short of where they envisioned it, Logan hopes it’s the beginning for a budding program. “We’re losing a great group of guys, but we’re bringing a lot of guys back,” Logan said, who reached states for the first time in his third season. “They know what’s expected of them now, so that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to keep building.” Broad Run (8-10) advanced to face Dominion (12-4) in the state semifinals on Tuesday, an impressive feat considering the start the Spartans had. After losing nine of their first 10 games, Broad Run has battled back to win seven of their last eight. Their only loss in that span came to Dominion in the Region C final. “I say losses are the stepping stones to wins. It was a rough couple of games, but we played a lot of really good competition, and we were playing them close,” Spartans coach Ashtin Sack said. To open Friday’s affair, both teams struggled to get into a groove as inaccurate passes, missed catches and dropped cradles limited the scoring. Behind goals from Jake Green and Mason Hodges, the Cougars led 2-1 after the first quarter. In the second quarter, Broad Run’s offense started to come alive as they patiently worked the ball around and waited for an open look. “Our offense is best suited when we’re being methodical, making smart plays, moving the ball around,

rotating the defense once or twice and not just settling on good shots, but settling on great shots,” said Sack. Running their attack through Riley Alberts at the ‘X’ position (the attackman standing behind the goal), Alberts waited for a Cougar to slide below the goal then pushed the ball around the crease and looked for a Spartan cutting between the defenders in front of the goal. While goals from Devin Maxey, Aiden Holtz and Alberts gave Broad Run the 4-3 halftime lead, Kettle Run’s attack looked promising as well. Ripping shot after shot throughout the quarter, the Cougars could only manage one Matt Green goal as goalkeeper Tyler Staub held them in check. “I think he’s the best goalie in the state. I think he was last year. Kid’s got over 250 saves on the season, and with a really young defense, he’s really been carrying us,” Sack said. After Matt Green scored on a bounce shot from the restraining
line 30 seconds into the third for a 4-4 tie, Broad Run scored three unanswered goals to take a commanding 7-4 lead. “We knew what they were running, that’s what ticks me off. They were running this wheel, drawing a slide and dumping (it off), and for some reason we just could not get that two slide in there. We were chasing the stick instead of hitting, and that did us in,” said Logan. At the end of the third, Morgan Robey scored from beyond the restraining line to cut Kettle Run’s deficit to 7-5. After Holtz and Robey traded goals in the first two minutes of the fourth, the Spartans took a 10-6
lead with six minutes remaining on a pair of goals from Brice Maxey and Holtz, but Kettle Run wouldn’t throw in the towel. With five minutes to go, Jake Green snuck behind the defense in transition and scored on the doorstep on an assist from Bryce McAnany to keep the Cougars’ hopes alive at 10-7. But with Broad Run chewing the clock when they had possession, Kettle Run’s chances dwindled. The Cougars got closer at 10-8 as Hodges scored from close range with 90 seconds remaining, but that would be their last gasp as Broad Run ran out the clock to end one of the finest seasons in Kettle Run boys lacrosse history.

Appraisal tips to help raise your home’s worth
A fair opinion of value gives buyers and lenders a clear picture of a home’s value By Carmen Rivera
State Farm agent, Warrenton
A professional home appraisal is required when selling a home — and it’s also important for refinancing. The unbiased opinion of your home’s value gives potential buyers and lenders a clear picture of a home’s worth. While some influencing factors are outside of your control — such as proximity to good schools and the value of nearby homes — a few simple steps may help increase the value of your home.
How to prepare for a home appraisal Review previous appraisals: Look for issues that lowered your home’s value in the past and address those problems. Collect important documents for the appraiser: These could include a land survey that verifies property size, proof of your home’s most recent sale price and a list of recent im-
provements complete with receipts. Prepare for the visit: Clear clutter and contain pets to make the inspection easier for the appraiser. Tidy up: There are some simple things you can do to raise your home’s worth. Also, your landscaping choices should enhance the house, not hide it. Invest in curb appeal: Simple home maintenance to improve curb appeal helps improve first impressions. Clean the landscape, clear debris from your yard, trim the hedges and clean the gutters to make your home more attractive. Make minor repairs: Small fixes, such as touching up chipped paint or replacing a broken doorknob, can also help add to a home’s value. Know the comps: Be sure to check other websites to search for comparable sales in your neighborhood. It’s a good idea to know what similar homes are selling for.
Be polite: Share the information you collect with your appraiser. Be friendly and polite, step away, then let them do their job.
What does an appraiser do? Real estate inspection: The appraiser closely examines the interior and exterior of your home, taking photos and noting its overall condition. Comparables: After the initial visit, the appraiser researches recently sold homes in your neighborhood. This helps the appraiser calculate the home’s worth based on current housing market values. Final report: The appraiser prepares a complete property and market analysis, which typically includes: • Your home’s size and condition • A record of any serious structural issues • Notes about recent home renovations and the surrounding area
• Photographs, sketches and maps of your property Home inspections are also critical in both the buying and selling process. Knowing what is inspected and what’s not is always good.

Throwing 39-9.5, the senior ran away from the competition as she took home the gold by over threeand-a-half feet. “I think that speaks to the level domination when you win any event by three feet. It kind of speaks for itself,” Kettle Run coach Jarrette Marley said. Carlson had wanted to win the discus as well but took third with a throw of 115-11. “She was determined to make up for what she felt like she could have won in the discus. And she did it. She came in de-

With her two top three finishes, Carlson was the key to the Kettle Run girls taking 11th. Helped by top five finishes from freshman Suzanna Mancini in the 800 and senior Ashley Nickerson in the pole vault, the Cougars finished with 24 points. After sending just three Cougars to the outdoor state meet last year, Kettle Run sent 18 this year, a step in the right direction for first-year head coach Marley. “We’re in that process of trying to get it so that the culture is, we get to

states, we compete hard, we do well. This was kind of that first step. And I think as a coaching staff, that’s what we’re kind of envisioning being my long-term goal,” said Marley. After winning region titles the week before, Mancini and Nickerson followed them up with strong performances at states. Mancini, a freshman, took fifth in the 800 at 2:22.18 while senior Nickerson’s 10-3 pole vault placed her fifth as well. “States is not really about time, it’s about place. So, (Mancini’s) goal was to be all-state. She did that. So, for that to happen as a freshman, I think she

It’s been a perfect postseason for the Eagles’ Ryan Wilson-McCoy in the triple jump. After winning the event at districts and regionals, the senior completed the clean sweep by taking the state title last weekend. With a new personal record of 47-11.5, Wilson-McCoy set a new personal record by over a foot. “It’s just a testament to how focused he’s been throughout the entire indoor and outdoor season. He’s really been putting his head down and grinding it out,” said Ryan McCoy, who is Wilson-McCoy’s father and Liberty’s jumps coach. In his first season competing in the triple jump, Wilson-McCoy took third at the indoor state meet in February and has since added nearly three feet to his jump. Said his father: “I took a look at his technique on his first phase of the triple jump. He had a solid first phase in the indoor season, but there was still some technique that was lacking. So, at the beginning of outdoor season, we really focused on improving that first phase and that set him up to jump even further.”

Gabriel
Jackson James
Jabari
Gabriel Jackson Jabari James, 22, of Haymarket, Virginia, died on May 22, 2023, from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident in Hurt, VA. The son of Attorney Chidi James and Psychologist Dr. Faith James, Gabriel began to bring joy to the world on March 1, 2001. He attended Prince William County Public Schools and graduated from Battlefield High School in 2019, where he was a two-year member of the Airforce ROTC program, a founding member of the Battlefield High School Mock Trial team, a member of the Battlefield High School Chorus and a captain of the Battlefield High School basketball team. Upon graduation from High School, Gabriel enrolled in the Ronald McNair School of Engineering at North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University. Gabriel was an active member on the North Carolina A&T campus. He was a member of the Aggie Battalion, Army ROTC program, and financed his education by becoming a US Army Reservist, serving with the 396th Medical Company in McLeansville, NC. He was scheduled to graduate in May 2024 and, upon graduation, would become a commissioned officer in the US Army. In March 2023, Gabriel "pledged Que" and was initiated into the membership of the Mu Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated. He was the Chaplain of his chapter and the SHOWDOG of his line and earned the love and respect of his brothers across the region. Gabriel also found time to re-charter the NC A&T chapter of the National Society of Pershing Rifles, where he served as chapter president. Gabriel gave his life to the Lord at an early age. He was dedicated in a Giving Back ceremony as an infant at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in 2001. He later asked to be formally baptized at the age of 7, at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, where he also sang in the Sun Beam Children's Choir. Gabriel's favorite Bible verse reads: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9 NIV). Gabriel is survived by his parents: Chidi and Faith James, older sister Shonari "Alex"andria James, younger sister Jordan Imani James and the love of his life, Liana Slade of Wilmington, NC. He also leaves behind his grandmothers Evelyn M. James (Granny) of Georgetown, Guyana (South America) and Freida E. Williams (Big Momma) of College Station, Texas, and Grandfather Leslie Charles Jackson Sr. (US Army Retired) of Columbus, Georgia. He is preceded in death by Grandfather Frank M. James, Esq. of Georgetown, Guyana. Along with his parents and Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church family he was loved and raised by his godparents Mark & Melane Ausbrooks, and Dana & Cartel Carter (and honorary godparents Uncle Charles "Binky" Jackson, Aunt Daria Athena Allen, and Cousin Nyisha Nia Davis). He also leaves behind a host of uncles, aunts, great uncles, great aunts, cousins, friends, fraternity brothers, fellow soldiers, church family, and many honorary aunts and uncles. Gabriel's Homegoing Service will be held at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church (2516 Squirrel Hill Road, Herndon, VA. 20171). Visitation begins at 10 a.m. with the service beginning promptly at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family is honored to receive monetary donations (which may be submitted through the Meal Train link (https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/r213ol) or mailed to "Chidi James Family, c/o Brenda Ramirez, Blankingship & Keith P.C., 4020 University Drive #300, Fairfax, VA 22030"), which may offset some costs and will otherwise be used to help fund the Gabriel James Memorial Scholarship Fund, established in Gabriel's honor.

Michael F. Noone, Jr. Michael F. Noone, Jr. (89), a retired Air Force colonel and law professor whose scholarly writing career extended over fifty years, died at home on May 28, 2023, in Warrenton, Virginia. Colonel Noone, a native of Los Angeles, California, graduated from Georgetown University's Edmond A. Walsh School of Foreign Service in 1955. He accepted a regular commission in the Air Force but postponed his entry on active duty to participate in an accelerated law program at Georgetown Law School. He graduated in two years and passed the District of Columbia and California bars. After assignments in Long Island and Morocco, he spent nearly seven years in Washington, first at Bolling Air Force Base, and then in the Air Force's Claims Division when he received the Federal Bar Association's Outstanding Young Federal Lawyer Award. Attending graduate school at night, he earned his LL.M. at Georgetown and then his S.J.D. at George Washington. His dissertation was subsequently published by the Senate Judiciary Committee and in the Bicentennial Issue of the Military Law Review. After attending the Air Force Command and Staff College, where he was named Distinguished Graduate, he was assigned to the Air Force headquarters near London for four years. He returned to Washington and the Pentagon, where he was Chief of the Congressional Legislation Division in the Secretary of the Air Force's Office of Legislative Liaison. While there, he handled the Air Force's response to the Senate investigation of the secret bombing of Cambodia. His final assignment was as Director of Civil Law at Strategic Air Command in Omaha, Nebraska, from which he retired in 1978 with 20 years' active service, the final five as a colonel. His most unusual duty was reviewing the Top Secret Single Integrated Operations Plan (SIOP) to confirm that the law of war had been followed in planning for all-out nuclear conflict. After his retirement from the Air Force, he joined the Law Faculty of The Catholic University of America in 1978. The following year, he accepted appointment as Associate (academic) Dean, a position he held until he returned to the full-time faculty in 1986. In winter/spring 1991, he was the Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Law Department at the US Military Academy (West Point) and co-authored the text on Constitutional and Military Law used by all cadets. He returned to The Catholic University faculty, was promoted to Ordinary (Full) Professor and granted tenure in 1992. In 1997, he accepted a second brief appointment as Associate Dean for six months to fill a temporary vacancy. In 2005, he gave up his tenured position and was appointed a Research Professor. Professor Noone specialized in interdisciplinary topics relating to law and international security. He taught courses in those fields as well as Torts, Remedies, and Government Litigation. For several years he taught an additional course, Law and Legal Reasoning, to undergraduates in the University's Honors Program. The author of numerous journal articles, books, reviews, and Op-Ed pieces, he was often interviewed by national and international media. Dr. Noone was a Knight Commander of the Holy Sepulchre, a fellow of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces in Society, a Director and Chairman of the Military Criminology and Crimes Committee of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War (Brussels), and an Advisor to the Geneva Center for Democratic Control of Armed Forces. He is survived by his wife, Ann, whom he married in 1961; three children, Katie of Warrenton, Elizabeth of New York City, and Michael of Los Angeles; and eight grandchildren. Interment at Arlington National Cemetery will take place at a later date. Obituaries

William Edward Shanks William Edward Shanks, 91 of Warrenton, VA passed away on May 31, 2023 at Manassas Health & Rehabilitation Center. He was born on July 8, 1931 in Jefferson City, TN a son of the late Oscar E. and Margaret Cate Shanks. Mr. Shanks' family moved from Tennessee to Washington, DC after World War II. Those post-war years, he found exciting to live in Washington DC and it is where he met his wife, the late Lois Morrow Shanks. He was known as an enthusiastic worker starting at age 6 in Tennessee and at 12 years old was a manager for Washington Post delivery routes. He will be remembered as a great provider for his wife, children and siblings. Bill retired as a Sales Manager for National Cash Register Company. He was a former member of the Civitan Club in Bethesda, MD. He loved
automobiles and aviation. Our father was very talented with landscaping, especially incorporating natural wood and stone. He relished hard physical work, and almost always completed these tasks by himself. His "hobby"—as much as he had one—was supporting his family's talents and education. Over the years he would dedicate enormous support to his wife and their two children in their many educational and musical endeavors. He also worked toward and attained his pilot's license for small aircraft. A lover of hot weather and sunshine, his favorite place was Hilton Head Island, S.C., where he enjoyed being near the ocean and riding his bike.

GRIEF LETTERS TO A LOST LOVED ONE The death of a loved one can be overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally draining. One way to cope with the grief is to write a letter to your lost loved one, allowing you to share and express your grief with the person you have lost. While this can bring up a lot of difficult emotions, for many people the therapeutic benefits are worth it. Putting our emotions in writing can help us deal with intense feelings of grief by releasing the stress of holding these feelings inside. You can sort through any conflicting emotions you have in a safe, nonjudgmental format, providing the opportunity for closure. Writing a letter can also help preserve the most important memories you want to keep. Research suggests that disclosing deep emotions through writing can boost immune function as well as mood and well-being. The stress of holding in strong feelings can raise blood pressure and heart rate, and increase muscle tension. Deeply troubling situations, such as suicide or a violent death, are best explored with the help of an experienced therapist. To arrange funeral services for a loved one, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431, or visit our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We can also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Never. We never lose our loved ones. They accompany us; they don’t disappear from our lives.
