Amazon Web Services application proposes 1,000-foot-long data center in Warrenton Transmission lines that would fuel the facility remain contentious By Peter Cary
Amazon Web Services wants to build a data center building on Blackwell Road in Warrenton with a footprint greater than three football fields laid end-to-end. The business would employ 52 people, though no more than 32 would work at any one time. The project will increase the town’s non-residential tax base, and construction spending and employee salaries would add to the town’s economy.

In an email sent to subscribers Friday, June 3, Data Stream Mobile Technologies blamed the Fauquier County government for “a higher level of service disruptions than normal.” The county countered by claiming that Data Stream violated the terms of a 2019 agreement by raising its subscriber rates earlier this year and by providing “deficient” service to its customers. In Friday’s email, Data Stream Mobile Technologies CEO Sean Lee blamed the Fauquier County government for “a higher level of service disruptions than normal.” The email claimed the county failed to meet “financial commitments” over the past 14 months, which in turn caused the outages. “Many of you have been experiencing issues within the network, and our ability to maintain service See DISRUPTION, page 2

Warrenton’s First Friday event on June 3 attracted crowds to Old Town. Businesses stayed open late, and there was music, an ice cream truck and special attractions – like a robotics demonstration from the FROGbots. Also, for the younger crowd, there were bubble machines and hula hoops. There were even “kids’ tables” sized for children. A few tents offering unusual fare – like a honey vendor – were featured, and several Old Town businesses brought their businesses out onto Main Street’s sidewalk. Joelle Fryman, new director of Experience Old Town Warrenton, said, “It was just wonderful to feel that sense of togetherness again. We truly appreciate all of the hard work and planning done by Allegro in order to bring everything to fruition and are so thankful for the support of our local businesses, merchants, vendors and families. This event speaks to who we are as a community, and we look forward to seeing everyone on July 8 for our next First Friday.

County claims Data Stream violated 2019 agreement; company blames county for ‘service disruptions’ DISRUPTION, from page 1 levels is dependent [on the] performance of all parties to the contract we agreed to with the county,” read the email. The county countered later that day with a press release, claiming that Data Stream violated the terms of a 2019 agreement by raising its subscriber rates earlier this year, adding that county officials “have made numerous attempts to work with Data Stream to address the deficiencies in Data Stream’s performance under the terms of the agreement, in a manner that would ensure that subscribers would not lose service.” Neither county officials nor an attorney for Data Stream would disclose the amount of money in dispute. (“The size of the claim is substantial,” said Data Stream attorney Michael Daniels in an email Tuesday, adding, “I’m not inclined to state the exact dollar figure on the record at this time.”) The Fauquier County Broadband Authority — a distinct legal entity comprised of county supervisors — is scheduled to convene Thursday, June 9 for a closed session to discuss the dispute, according to an email
Fiber-optic internet project
A plan to subsidize fiber-optic internet connections to more than 10,000 Fauquier County homes was awarded a $15 million state grant in December, clearing the way for the project to move forward. Currently scheduled to be completed in 2024, the fiber-optic connections will make fixed-wireless connections provided by the Data Stream initiative largely irrelevant. Fauquier supervisors committed $10.5 million to the fiber-optic project from the county’s allocation of federal stimulus funds. Leesburg-based All Points Broadband will provide an additional $39 million in capital. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2024. The project will utilize existing power line poles owned by Dominion and Rappahannock Electric to bring “middle mile” fiber-optic cables to the parts of the county that are not currently served by high-speed wired internet service. All Points will then connect to those lines to provide “last mile” service directly to homes. sent by Deputy County Administrator Erin Kozanecki to a county resident last week. Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District), the chairman of the broadband authority, declined to comment on the dispute. Kozanecki did not provide details about the “deficiencies in Data Stream’s performance” in response to questions from the Fauquier Times. An email Sunday from Kozanecki said that the county is “seeking to hold the company to their agreed bargain and have them provide the most robust broadband services to our citizens possible.”
She characterized the situation as “a contract dispute between a private broadband service provider and the county, broadband authority and [economic development authority], from which they received financial support.” Data Stream has received $4.7 million from the county in exchange for providing fixed-wireless internet service to residents at subsidized rates under the terms of the 2019 agreement. There were 629 subscribers as of March, according Kozanecki. Data Stream, based in Florida, claimed that it raised rates “to offset the shortfall caused by the county’s
default in contributing to costs.” But Lee’s email to subscribers did not explain the correlation between the service disruptions and the allegedly withheld payments from the county. Lee declined to comment to the Fauquier Times when reached by phone Friday, instead directing questions to the company’s attorney. Daniels said Tuesday that “There is a direct correlation in that the county’s failure/refusal to pay directly impacts Data Stream’s ability to pay its team of vendors and employees. These vendors and employees provide services and support to the network. Without them, the network ceases to function. … If any of these vendors cease to provide services, the connection to the internet is lost and service will be disrupted.” Daniels declined to comment on whether the company is considering filing a lawsuit. “[I]f we were to take this matter before a court, the law and the facts in this simple contract law case would be on our side,” he said. Any disruption to service stemming from the dispute could have major implications for the households who rely on Data Stream for their See DISRUPTION, page 4

This PAC 750 plane was damaged when it was hit by part of the roof that was blown off a hangar at the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport.
High winds rip roof off a hangar at Warrenton-Fauquier Airport June 1 By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
The Warrenton-Fauquier Airport in Midland was hit by what the airport’s director described as a “small tornado” June 1 at about 5:45 p.m. but what weather experts say was more likely a “downburst.” The high winds blew off most of the roof from one hangar that was housing about 12 airplanes, according to airport director Dave Darrah. No one was injured, and none of the airplanes were damaged, he said. “There were two airplanes next to each other, and a 2’ X 4’ came down right between them. We were lucky.” He explained that at about 5:35 p.m., an isolated cell began to form over Midland, leading to what he said was a “tornado.” The roofing ripped off the hangar was blown to another part of the airport. It was found wrapped around a PAC 750 plane, which is used for skydiving. That plane sustained significant damage, said Darrah. Soon after the tornado passed through, Darrah sent an email to plane owners saying, “There is debris everywhere and lots of nails all over the taxiways and north ramp.” Mike Guditus, emergency manager for Fauquier County, said data from the National Weather Service indicates the high winds were not caused by a tornado, but rather, a “downburst,” which he described as heavy wind that comes down toward the earth from the sky, instead of moving horizontally. “It happens when rain is coming down so fast,” and is not uncommon during spring or fall thunderstorms, when there are high temperatures and high humidity,” he said. He said that the NWS experts – based on data from the automated weather observing system located at the airport — estimated that the wind gusts were up to 36 miles an hour during the sudden thunder-

Guditus added that the NWS representatives were very surprised to see the damage caused by the wind. “They saw the photos and said, ‘Holy smokes!’” Guditus said that since there was no witness who saw a funnel cloud and no other data that suggests a tornado, it is safe to assume that a downburst formed very quickly and caused the high-velocity winds. “It was a very interesting storm,” he said. “The conditions were perfect. It materialized quickly over the airport and was gone just as quickly.” Guditus said that no areas nearby reported damage and added that the hangar that lost its roof is “not habitable” and is off limits right now. Darrah said Thursday that the damage is still being assessed. The airplanes in the damaged hangar have been moved, and cleanup is in progress. Kenneth “Dutch” Rauch was on the scene when the storm hit. “I was in a hangar when I heard all the noise when the roof came off and hit the jump plane, the PAC 750… The noise was like being on a carrier flight deck next to a launching jet.”

Amazon Web Services application proposes 1,000-foot-long data center in Warrenton AMAZON, from page 1 These are some of the statements and claims made in an application filed with the town of Warrenton in mid-April for a special use permit to build the data center. The application was accepted into the town’s planning system May 6, according to the law firm that filed the paperwork. A town planner said the project is still likely months away from planning commission review. Amazon’s application states that the project will have no adverse impact on schools, police and fire services, libraries, housing or parks, and after construction, its effect on Blackwell Road traffic will be minimal. A 17-acre portion of the 42-acre site will be set aside for a new electrical power substation there. While the application brings the project into sharper focus, a close review of the document shows that the answers to several issues remain fuzzy or unanswered. Meanwhile, consternation is growing among area residents over Dominion Energy’s plans for the substation and transmission lines that would power the facility. The application contains drawings of the proposed data center building, which would be 1,000 feet long, 220 feet wide and 37 feet high – a profile roughly the shape of the top of a long shoebox. The application says this profile would have little visual impact on the neighborhood and would be screened “substantially from view.” But neither the project’s plans nor a three-page written description directly addresses the question of whether the center would use water for cooling, an important consideration since the town in August 2021 amended its zoning ordinance to allow for data centers but stipulated that they must use “recycled water or air chillers, in conjunction with using recycled water, for cooling purposes.” Unlike Loudoun County, neither Warrenton nor Fauquier County produces recycled water for data center cooling. A clue may lie in a section of the application that deals with data center noise; it states the applicant’s data centers employ “air cooling systems.” But some air-cooling systems still use water in cooling towers, and evaporation requires that the water
Dominion Energy meetings with residents planned
Dominion Energy representatives want to meet with residents who would be affected by the company’s proposed transmission line routes north and east of Warrenton. On June 21, Dominion plans to meet with an invited list of “stakeholders,” or interested parties, at the Path Foundation, 321 Walker Drive, Warrenton, from 2 to 5 p.m. Two community open houses are also scheduled: • Wednesday, June 22, 4 to 7 p.m. at Kettle Run High School, 7403 Academic Ave., Nokesville. • Thursday, June 23, 4 to 7 p.m. at the Fauquier County Fairgrounds, 6209 Old Auburn Rd., Warrenton Dominion will also host a virtual community meeting on WebEx (no date set) and more community open houses this summer, said a spokesman. Citizens may also contact the company at powerline@dominionenergy.com or call (888)291-0190 to express their opinions. be replenished. Other systems use outside air to cool re-circulating glycol, not unlike a home air conditioner. These systems are generally thought to be less efficient than water cooling and therefore use more electricity. The application also leaves unclear how much power the project would require. Dominion Energy representatives have made references to a new Blackwell Road substation to serve the project: “New data center development does require a new transmission line and substation,” Steven Precker, a Dominion communications consultant, said at a May 12 of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. The Amazon plans depict a 17-acre rectangle for a “future substation (by others).” However, the routes to bring power to the Blackwell substation are proving contentious. Dominion has proposed two routes for transmitting 230 kV of power to the substation. One runs to Blackwell Road from the Wheeler substation in Prince William County just east of Vint Hill, and the other runs from a Warrenton substation off Meetze Road along the eastern edge of the town north to Blackwell. Sections of this second option could run underground, but underground lines are not being considered for the northern route. The routes have been referred to as “preliminary route options” by Dominion. Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District) is convinced the power company wants to build both — and will apply to the State Corporation Commission this fall for a permit to do so. “This is the thing most people
are misunderstanding,” he said in an interview last week. “These are not options. This is, ‘We’re doing both.’ We’ve asked them this numerous times in work sessions. And the answer isn’t one connection route or the other. It’s ‘We’re doing both.’” Neither supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) nor Chris Granger (Center District), whose districts also would be transversed by the proposed power lines, returned phone calls requesting comment. But Dominion’s media relations manager Peggy Fox said in an email to the Times on Monday, “Only one route will be required to serve the area at the Blackwell Road site.” She wrote that Dominion would listen to comments from residents and businesses affected by both routes, and “ultimately, the SCC will choose one route to construct.” Fox’s email also made it clear that what was driving discussion of the routes was Amazon’s request for adequate power at its planned Warrenton data center. “Dominion has an active request for service that we must accommodate. To do so, one of the routing options will be proposed before the SCC this fall. If any plans change to the energy needs of the area, we will evolve the electrical solutions to meet those needs,” she wrote. Based on Trumbo’s comments, it appears that the Wheeler-Blackwell route, which is in his district, may see the greatest pushback – from him and local residents. He insists that those residents must have the opportunity to weigh in on the idea of high-powered overhead lines on 100-foot towers crossing their area and possibly their land. In response,
Dominion’s Precker said his company would mail out 3,000 letters to those residents explaining the routes, and that his company has scheduled community meetings on June 22 and 23 to hear from citizens. Trumbo has also met with Bob Weir, a Haymarket town councilman who was instrumental in a four-anda-half-year fight to stop an overhead power line headed for an Amazon Web Services data center in his town. That battle ended in 2018 with the SCC requiring Dominion to bury three miles of the line, but it did not order Amazon to pay for it, as opponents also sought. Fauquier residents fought their own battle with Dominion from 2013 to 2016 over a set of proposals to bring power from Wheeler to Warrenton. Neighborhoods formed a coalition, hired lawyers and expert witnesses and spent tens of thousands of dollars to beat back the plans, which would have run transmission lines through several Fauquier developments north and west of Warrenton. In the end, the SCC ruled that Dominion should make a much more modest upgrade to its service with a line from Wheeler eastward to a point north of Nokesville. In an April board work session on the latest proposed routes, Trumbo reminded Precker of that fight. “It was heavily, heavily opposed by folks who live here,” he said. “And I would suggest to you ... that you could expect every bit of that opposition and probably more to the proposed connection here.” The Piedmont Environmental Council, a regional conservationist lobbying group, has already weighed in, following a meeting with Dominion representatives in late March. The proposed routes “would have a detrimental effect on the gateway(s) into the Town of Warrenton, on historic and cultural resources along the route and to the residential neighborhoods of New Baltimore, Vint Hill and/or Frytown,” wrote Julie Bolthouse, the PEC’s land-use director. Given the impact of the transmission lines, she said the town should “think twice” about approving the data center. And if it does, she wrote, any transmission lines to it should be buried, and Amazon should pay for that.
County claims Data Stream violated 2019 agreement; company blames county for ‘service disruptions’ DISRUPTION, from page 2 homes and businesses. For many residents, the company has provided the only option for highspeed internet service, although many homes, even those near one of the 15 towers from which Data Stream broadcasts signals, are unable to connect to the service because trees or hills obstruct the signal. Some customers who did manage to connect to the service have complained of frequent and prolonged service outages, even before the dispute between Data Stream and the county arose. Under the terms of the 2019 agreement, the county press release said, “the county had the ability to force Data Stream off several county-owned

to use to this day.” If Data Stream was found to be in violation of the agreement, the release continued, the terms of the agreement “would allow the county to terminate the agreement and require repayment by Data Stream of previously provided incentive payments to Data Stream by the Fauquier County Economic Development Authority.” The press release continued that “the county and the FCBA held off on officially terminating the agreement after notice was provided to Data Stream that they were in violation of the terms of the agreement. The county continues its efforts to work with Data Stream to resolve those concerns and ensure that citizens were provided the intended levels of service under the agreement.”

‘I [lied] because of my cat’
During his testimony, which lasted about half an hour, Fast spoke at length about the Bible and his religion, calling two men associated with Soul Purpose Community Church in Bealeton to the stand to ask the judge for a lenient sentence. He submitted “letters to God” as evidence and claimed he, at one point in his life, vowed never to sexually abuse children, calling it “the worst sin against God.” Fast admitted on the stand to lying initially to detectives when first questioned about his crime, claiming that the Bible told him that taking care of his cat — impossible had he confessed immediately and been arrested — took precedence over admitting to the sexual abuse. “I [lied] because of my cat,” he told the judge. “A righteous person takes care of his animals.” But when it came to admitting any specific wrongdoing, Fast was defiant and repeatedly downplayed his actions and refused to acknowledge the veracity of any of the girl’s testimony. At one point, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Roshni Dhillon pressed him to acknowledge any specific fact about his crime. “What did you do?” she asked. See ABUSE, page 19

Warrenton man sentenced to 12 years in ‘egregious’ child sexual abuse material distribution case DISTRIBUTION, from page 1 head,” Circuit Court Judge James Fisher added a 33-year suspended prison sentence and 20 years of active probation to the prison sentence. The investigation into Damien Clark, now 31, began in March 2021 after detectives in Frederick County, Maryland, informed Warrenton police that “a couple in Warrenton, Virginia was soliciting their 8-year-old daughter out for sex,” according to a search warrant affidavit filed at the time. Clark impersonated the purported child at one point in a conversation on Snapchat with an individual in Maryland, the affidavit said, and had distributed other images and videos on social media and on file-sharing sites. Clark gave several conflicting explanations for his actions over the course of the investigation and sentencing. Warrenton police officers raided Clark’s residence the day after they received information from Maryland detectives. The officers found that Clark doesn’t have a daughter and does not have immediate access to any children, according to a proffer of facts signed by both Clark and prosecutors when Clark pleaded guilty to three felony child pornography charges in November. At a June 3 sentencing hearing in Fauquier County Circuit Court, Clark testified on the stand that his intention in sharing the video and imper-
“[Your behavior] is indicative of something fundamentally wrong with what’s going on inside your head.” CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE JAMES FISHER, TO DAMIEN CLARK
“He was not blindly doing this because someone offered him $100.” SENIOR ASSISTANT COMMONWEALTH’S ATTORNEY ABIGAIL OWENS
sonating a child was “to scam someone” and that his behavior was related to “fantasies.” That appeared to contradict his statements to police, laid out in the proffer of facts, that “he may have sent an image by accident and that he was drunk the night before [police raided his residence].” Regardless of Clark’s actual reasons for sharing the material and his fictitious relationship with the child depicted in the material he shared, Fisher added sternly that the situation could have escalated and that Clark might have abducted a child if the situation had not been interrupted by police. “It’s completely depraved,” Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Abigail Owens said during the sentencing hearing of Clark’s actions. Clark testified at the sentencing hearing that “I am disgusted with myself” and claimed not to be attracted sexually to children, although his defense attorney, public defender Ryan Ruzic, acknowledged that Clark has “urges that he does not choose, but that he needs to choose to fight.” Counseling since his arrest has “brought to [Clark] the reality of the damage that [the distribution of child sexual abuse material] does to children.” Fisher was unmoved, ruling that the state sentencing guidelines were “wholly inadequate” considering Clark’s specific behavior. He added that he hopes Clark’s inclinations will be “snuffed out” by the 12-year prison sentence and extensive counseling. The threat of an additional 33 years in
prison, if he violates the terms of his release, and stringent probation restrictions on his access to the internet and to children will ensure the safety of the community after he is released, Fisher said. The March 2021 raid on Clark’s residence led investigators to discover “over 100 additional images and videos” in Clark’s possession depicting child sexual abuse. When questioned by detectives about the material, Clark “said that he trades photos with people and sometimes receives child pornography but that he tries to delete that stuff because it is kind of weird,” according to the proffer of facts. Months after his arrest, Clark claimed to a mental health professional that someone — not identified in court documents — paid him to distribute child sexual abuse material, according to his testimony in court at the June 3 sentencing hearing. “The guy told me that distributing [the material] to certain individuals, he would pay me some money,” Clark testified on the witness stand. “I was desperate for money, and I was distributing pornography for money.” But Owens disputed this claim in her closing argument, emphasizing that Clark did not say anything to detectives about being paid to distribute material. “I think it’s clear … that’s simply not accurate,” Owens said of Clark’s testimony. “He was not blindly doing this because someone offered him $100.” She pointed to research that shows a correlation between consumers of child abuse imagery and individuals engaging in direct sexual abuse of children. And, she pointed out, a psychosexual evaluation, completed as part of the sentencing process, found that Clark had a moderate to high risk of reoffending, even though he had never been convicted of a crime before.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Resident raises alarm about Dominion Energy substation I’m talking to you, Warrenton … New Baltimore … neighborhoods of Warrenton Chase, Woods of Warrenton, Ivy Hill, Warrenton Lakes, Millwood, Raymond Farm, Whippoorwill, Jamison’s Reserve, Suffield Meadows, Snow Hill. And those are only the ones that I know will be directly impacted. I’m sure there are more. Add to that so many of our friends and neighbors not in specific neighborhoods …. or those slightly removed from the direct path of the coming ugliness, who will be impacted in their country views or in their overall finances because of imminent future development. We have a huge threat on our doorstep, and we need to act now as a community to prevent a hideous blight on our beautiful county and our homes. Dominion Energy is looking to build power lines through our neighborhoods to allow them to provide power to an Amazon data center to be situated behind Country Chevrolet on Blackwell Road in Warrenton. But they’re not satisfied with only powering a to-be-built substation behind the car dealership for Amazon’s [proposed] data center. One option would extend those humongous and unsightly power poles down U.S. 29 and through New Baltimore to another substation near Vint Hill. Not only will this be an ugly smear across our
landscape but consider the following: Your home value could be negatively impacted; you may have financial impacts from Dominion Energy for the cost of running those huge towers; and likely this major increase in power availability could easily lead to much more development in our community. The proposed type of power lines would utilize metal towers that are 110 feet minimum in height and could go as high as 130 feet. This will likely remove some trees and will rise above others. Won’t this be “gorgeous” around your home and down U.S. 29? A diagram of the proposed routes through and around Warrenton, and then down U.S. 29, can be viewed on the Piedmont Environmental Council website at https://www.pecva.org. We need to act now, and we need to come together as a community to show the power of the people when we are united. What can you do? Contact the following to express your concerns: Sen. Jill Vogel (R-27th): JillVogel@senate27. com; (540) 341-8808 Del. Michael Webert (R-18th): DelMWebert@ house.virginia.gov; (540) 999-8218 Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D-31st): DelEGuz-
man@house.virginia.gov; (571) 403-1213 Dominion Energy Virginia: powerline@ dominionenergy.com Additionally, there will be two community open houses. • Wednesday, June 22, 4 to 7 p.m., Kettle Run High School, 7403 Academic Ave., Nokesville. • Thursday, June 23, 4 to 7 p.m., Fauquier County Fairgrounds, 6209 Old Auburn Road, Warrenton. Please do not wait for the community open houses before you express your views. Dominion is pushing this through as quickly as possible. We need your voice now! Get involved. Tell your neighbors. This will have a tremendously negative impact on our community. You can find more information on the Piedmont Environmental Council page and on the “Protect Fauquier” Facebook page. We need you. Dominion Energy needs to hear that Fauquier County citizens are not going to stand by and see our homes ruined by hideous power lines. Call. Write. Make your voice heard. NANCY B. PREMEN Warrenton, VA
Before NIMBYism takes over, take time to think through Dominion’s power line proposal In regards to potential new power lines, Dominion Energy is considering, take a breath, everyone. We don’t want mob NIMBYism, do we? I think this community is better than that. Can we offer something constructive to deal with this issue? Not just block it in our backyards, thereby just shifting it to someone else’s backyard somewhere else. Consider these actions instead. 1. Let’s all put maximum pressure on the Town of Warrenton to condition any special use permit on Amazon committing to incorporate rooftop solar and geothermal energy to power their proposed data center. Ask the Town of Warrenton to require Amazon to provide specific de-
tailed information on the electricity needs of the proposed facility -- and provide detailed plans for meeting those needs with on-site solar and geothermal. Get an independent expert to verify that Amazon’s response on energy needs and solar/geothermal capacity on site are valid. 2. We, the board of supervisors, the Town of Warrenton and the SCC all must look critically at Dominion’s claim that new transmission lines are needed in the first place -- especially if Amazon is required to incorporate all possible solar and geothermal into their proposed data center. 3. Ask ourselves: Are we, as electricity consumers, and as a county,
doing our best to conserve energy, save money on electricity and foster rooftop solar and other good, reasonable solar investment? How can we lower the need for more transmission lines and more power plants and more substations? What more could we do? (Note: PEC, the Fauquier Climate Change Group and the Fauquier Climate Coalition are working with farmers’ groups to help farmers incorporate solar into their own individual farms, to lower their costs and support energy independence. Also, we have been engaging with the board of supervisors -- Supervisors Mary Leigh McDaniel and Rick Gearhart, in particular -- on how we can help this area adjust to the energy and
climate changes that are already happening to us.) If we are not focusing on energy conservation and better energy choices ourselves, as consumers and as citizens, then we are part of the problem. If we can unite on 1, 2 and 3, maybe there is no need for new transmission lines. But, if there is still a need, then we can focus on what is the best location for them, placing a lot of weight on preserving the beautiful, scenic, wonderful landscape around us while also meeting our common need for energy and energy reliability. In my humble opinion. CYNTHIA BURBANK Warrenton
Kudos to those who advocate for domestic violence survivors I read your outstanding article on our Fauquier County Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault advocates [“Social services programs provide a lifeline for domestic violence survivors,” May 11]. First let me applaud you for such a well written, informative article. I would also like to commend the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors for continuing to support the program. As a retired, disabled veteran who has lived in the county for many years, this article makes me recall the first time I was contacted by the wonderful domestic violence advocates to ask Post 360 of the American Legion to provide grilled food for the first major event at Liberty High School for the community. The event was incredible. As we cooked on the grill all day, I was fortunate to go to the main area and heard Mr. Paul McCulla, the county administrator, speak passionately about
the program. We also talked to the mayor [Carter Nevill], Judge Melissa Cupp, local schools and the sheriff, who clearly supported the program as well. What was gut-wrenching was the message we heard from the survivors who poured their hearts out. My next encounter with these wonderful advocates was to have our church, Poplar Fork Baptist Church, provide food to the victims and their children during an evening meeting. Many of these victims and their families are food insecure, and thank God the other churches in our community also recognized the need. After reading your article, it is clear that there is still a critical need in the community for this program. As a taxpayer in the town and county, I continue to observe that those who are vulnerable continue to be challenged by the lack of affordable housing, transportation and high prices.
Domestic violence and sexual assault cross every income level, even in Fauquier County. This issue remains in surrounding communities as well. That said, this program will be even more important to the community as the number of Fauquier commuters continues to go down due to new insights on teleworking, which could also produce new stressors associated with having more people in a household. Looking toward the future … your article left me with one question -- will Fauquier County continue to support this program, even if there is no grant (described in the article)? Thank you again for shedding light on the great work of the leadership and advocates in the Department of Social Services. MARSHALL A. WALLACE Lt Col, USAF Retired Warrenton

‘PRIDE AND HAPPINESS IS HOW I’LL REMEMBER IT’ Fauquier boys lacrosse falls in overtime to Dominion, 16-15, in state quarters By Jackie Timberlake
Special to the Fauquier Times
For the second year in a row, Dominion ended the finest season in Fauquier’s boys lacrosse history. Last Friday at Falcon Field, Gavin Burke scored as Dominion won 16-15 just minutes into sudden death overtime in the Class 4 state quarterfinals, ending the Falcons’ season at 18-1. “I’m sad it’s over, and I’m sad I’m leaving, but I’ll always remember my time as a Falcon,” said senior goalie Collin Anderson. “Pride and happiness is how I’ll remember it.” The energy in the stadium was high and the pressure was on as Dominion and Fauquier, both stacked with confident and skillful players, renewed last year’s battle between the two, won by Dominion 13-10 in the state semifinals. “Last year we fell short against Dominion. We wanted revenge and that increased our drive during the game. Sadly, we still fell short,” Anderson said. Fauquier took the reins of the game early, controlling the ball on offense. Soon Wes Heflin powered through Dominion’s defense and quickly released the ball to Tyler Cadle for a flick shot into the goal about a minute into the first quarter. Helfin continued to pressure, scoring by a long shot at the three-minute mark. With seconds left in the
first quarter, Billy Brooks searched for Cadle, who had an opening and scored leaving two unimportant seconds on the clock. Thanks to smart passing from Heflin, Brooks and Cadle, the Falcons led 8-6 at the half. Both teams fought harder and continued to put points on the board after intermission. Wyatt Croson took control of the ball, receiving a pass from Anderson at the 50-yard line, sprinting to the goal and behind it to score. Fauquier led 11-9 heading into the fourth. Heflin scored six minutes in, followed by a Dominion response. Fauquier was still leading, 14-12, when Dominion put three in the back of the net in quick succession. The home stands then erupted as Matt Fischer fought through Dominion’s defense after a receiving a pass from Cadle and scored the equalizing goal with 1:15 left in regular time. That score held until the whistle. Once the regulation ended, Fauquier quickly strategized on how they could win. “I told them to continue to play our game and brand of lacrosse,” coach J.B. Tippett said. Dominion quickly scooped up the ball from the draw and began making their way down the field. Brendon O’Hara stepped up to guard Burke, who made his way around the goal, quickly fired and scored,

I felt confused and I couldn’t believe that we lost. I stared at the clock trying to figure out what happened. But sometimes, that’s just the way it goes,” said Fauquier’s Grady Panagos. Anderson was the first to run up to his team after the end of the game. “My first thought was, “Well it’s over.’ Then I got really sad because it was really over, it wasn’t just something being said,” he said. Ecstatic Dominion players jettisoned their gear in a rush of joy. “It was a great ride with all my friends and teammates, I loved our time spent this season and I know we tried as hard as we could,” said Panagos. Once back in the locker room, Tippett had a heart-to-heart meeting with his team.
GOLDEN RAYS OF JOY Fauquier’s Cassidy Scott wins state titles in 1,600 and 800; Kettle Run’s Colleen Schaner captures pole vault By Fred Hodge

Kettle Run’s Colleen Schaner, bound for Arizona State University this fall, cleared 12 feet, 4 inches to earn the state pole vaulting title this weekend.
Fauquier sophomore Cassidy Scott and Kettle Run senior Colleen Schaner ran and soared to gold medals at the Class 4 state track meet last week at Liberty University. Scott sped to victories in the 1,600 and 800-meter runs on Saturday, while Schaner laid claim to the top spot in the pole vault the previous day. County performers also registered one silver medal to go with three fifths and one eight place against the state’s top Class 4 performers. Scott’s first victory came in the 1,600, where she entered as the No. 2 seed behind Zoie Lamanna of Jefferson Forest. After a hotly contested 1,400-plus meters, the Falcon began a final sprint and still was pulling away when she crossed the line in a new state record time of 4:51.63. The time smashed the year-old mark of 4:55.07 set by Loudoun Valley’s Ava Gordon. The Falcon immediately broke into first place at the starting gun and had clean air for most of her run. Scott
“I told the boys how incredibly proud I was of them on what they accomplished this season. We had an undefeated regular season, were back-to-back region champs, and 12 players made all-Region – nine were first team and three second team. We accomplished a lot this season, and I couldn’t ask for a better team. “The administration, parents and most importantly the student-athletes at Fauquier make it an unbelievably rewarding place to coach. I’m very honored and humbled to be the FHS boys lacrosse coach,” said Tippett. With this game ending Fauquier season, many players came together to huddle for their final time. “Playing for Fauquier, I feel like I have a second family. We are such a close group, and we all truly feel like brothers,” said Panagos.
still led at 800 meters by a half step before she and three other runners broke free of the other runners in the third-lap backstretch. Lamanna twice made pushes for the lead with about 300 and 150 meters to go, but Scott answered the challenges. “Cassidy did an amazing job,” Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said. “She got to the front, and [Lamanna] got on Cassidy’s outside shoulder. Casssidy kept her there the whole way. “When they got to the 300-meter mark, that girl tried to make a run on Cassidy, She kept her outside,” said Jones, who was impressed Scott did not cede the inside position. “Everytime [Lamanna] tried to make a move, Cassidy could feel her and keep pressing her wider.” In the 800, Scott was in fourth place near the end of the opening lap until she saw an alley opening along the inside of lane No. 1. The sophomore took advantage and had the lead after four steps across the starting line to start the final lap. She briefly fell to second on the backstretch, with Lamanna again the chief threat. Scott made a strong move with 150 meters remaining and pulled away again for her second win of the meet. Her time of 2:12.47 is the second-fastest in Class 4 state meet history, behind only the 2:11.48 turned in by record holder Grace Jones of Pulaski in 2019. “From last year to this, there has been so much growth,” Jones said of Scott’s progression in facing See TRACK, page 17

‘WE LEFT TOO MANY DUCKS ON THE POND’ Falcons threaten early Loudoun Valley silences Fauquier had runners in scoring potent Falcon offense, 5-0, position in its initial two at bats verin Class 4 Region C semifinals sus Loudoun Valley and had a basBy Fred Hodge

Fauquier failed to convert early scoring opportunities in its 5-0 season-ending loss to Loudoun Valley in the Class 4 Region C softball semifinal on May 31 in Warrenton. The Vikings (19-6) moved into the regional championship against Tuscarora (24-0), which eliminated James Wood 12-2 by mercy rule in the other region semi. “We left too many ducks on the pond,” said Fauquier coach Erika Lamper of a Falcon squad that averaged 11 runs and 11 hits an outing. “I just think we were all disappointed it was the end to our season,” said Lamper, who soon turned her comments to departing seniors Helena Lovell, Payton Swart, Meredith Wayland, Izzy Evans and Haley Saulsbury. Despite potent squads, district titles and region appearances, recent Falcon units did not advance to a state tournament.. “They got shafted in the COVID-19 year,” Lamper pointed out, referring to the 2020 season when the Falcons would have been strong contenders for a state crown but the state’s spring slate was canceled. Due to the pandemic, in 2021 the state playoff field for all sports was reduced by 50 percent. Only the regional champions earned state slots: unbeaten Fauquier lost to Tuscarora in the Region 4C title game to fall one win shy. “We wanted it so bad for a special group of seniors. We knew that was the last time we would be together,” she lamented. Both Dulles District powers continued play this week in the state Class 4 quarterfinals. The Huskies hosted Region D runner-up Orange. Valley traveled to Region D winner Halifax County.
erunner in the third inning, but a timely hit was not forthcoming. Mikayla Gilmore led off the Fauquier first inning with a single to right field. After a fly out, Katie Harrington singled up the middle to place runners on first and second. A strikeout and a fly ball to center field ended that threat. Emily Penatzer singled just inside the left field line as Fauquier’s first hitter in the second inning. Saulsbury followed with a sacrifice bunt. An Evans fly ball to deep right and a strikeout nullified that opportunity. Loudoun Valley broke through with a run in the top of the third inning. Kayla Dunkerly drew a walk to open the inning, with Maddy Greene sending a single up the middle. The Vikings executed a double steal. Fauquier catcher Helena Lovell delivered a strike to third ahead of Dunkerly’s arrival, but a well-executed slide to the rear of the bag allowed her to evade a tag. Lexi Schaaf delivered a one-out sacrifice fly for a 1-0 lead and the only run Loudoun Valley would need. Falcon Swart connected for a oneout single in the bottom of the third, but ended up as the final Falcon baserunner as Greene retired the final 14 FHS hitters. The margin remained 1-0 until a four-run Viking outburst in the top of the seventh. The winners took advantage of three walks, several well-placed bunts and aggressive baserunning to put the contest out of reach. Greene needed just four pitches to record the final three outs. “We came out strong out of the gate, put some pressure on them in the beginning,” said Lamper. “We were making contact.”

For Schaner, her victory is vindication of her experience in last winter’s state indoor championships. The Cougar was a strong second seed but took fourth with her vault of 10 feet, six inches. “I was very disappointed. I was crushed, devastated,” Schaner recalls, adding she took a different approach for the outdoor campaign. “In the winter, I put way too much pressure on myself,” she continued, now pointing to the winter meet as a valuable learning experience. “This time, my mindset was just to have fun,” Schaner said of her altered focus. “It was my last high school meet, so I wanted to have as much fun as I could...be calm and just do as well as I can.” Schaner passed at the first four heights Friday before clearing each 10-9, 11-3 and 11-9 on her first attempts. The 11-9 clearance guaranteed the gold medal. She missed her first two tries at 12-4 before establishing a new career best when sailing over the bar on her third attempt. Schaner missed three vaults at 12-7, but she was ecstatic. “I was just so happy. All that previous pressure was lifted off of me,” she said of the realization she was the state champion. “It was so liberating.” Schaner’s winning vault and both of Scott’s times earned them Milesplit US First-team or Gold standard status. Fauquier also had a pair of all-district performers in Friday’s girls discus. Stephanie
Clark was the runner-up in the event at 113-05, while Madison Bayliff placed fifth at 111-7. “Those two started everything off,” coach Jones said, but he admits there were major early concerns with out-of-bounds throws for fouls. “Everybody was throwing to the right of the sector,” he said. Clark fouled on her first two throws and was in danger of not advancing to the ninegirl final with another miss. She launched a throw of 112-5 on her last qualifying effort to move forward. Bayliff threw 100-10 on her first try before fouling on her next two attempts but still advanced. Liberty and Kettle Run both had girls with fifth-place performances to earn allstate honors. Eagle Maya Turner recorded a personal-best time of 1:00.86 in the 400-meter dash. Ashley Nickerson of Kettle Run gave the Cougars a second high placement in the pole vault by clearing 10-3 for fifth. Fauquier’s Dylan Damer added one foot to his previous best pole vault to claim eighth on the boys side at 12 feet. He was the lone Fauquier County boy to score in the meet. Fauquier’s girls finished eighth in the girls competition out of 40 scoring schools with 32 points. Kettle Run took 17th with 14 points, while Liberty finished in a three-way tie for 30th with four points. The top five girls teams were Heritage (Newport News) 69, Jefferson Forest 54, Deep Creek 53, Western Albemarle 48 and Atlee 43. Fauquier’s boys earned one point to finish 37th out of 37 scoring schools. Pulaski took the boys crown, 63-60, over Deep Creek. Patrick Henry (Ashland) 52, Blacksburg 37 and Western Albemarle 33 completed the top five.

boy” would do the same thing.
“It really wasn’t much that was done at all,” he responded. After Fast claimed on the stand that the victim initiated the sexual contact, Dhillon pressed him: “Are you saying this 10-year-old girl put the moves on you?” “I wouldn’t go that route,” Fast responded. Incredulous, Plowman summarized Fast’s testimony as blaming the incident on “some sort of sexually aggressive 10-year-old.” Fast repeatedly claimed he regretted his actions, despite refusing to acknowledge them. “I honestly am sorry about everything that happened,” Fast testified one point, but he never mentioned the victim’s early testimony spelling out the years of trauma she suffered because of the abuse. “I would have rather been charged with anything else … but this sexual thing,” he said. But pressed again and again by prosecutors to acknowledge any details of his actions, Fast said that only God “knows what the truth is. He was there.” Even when speaking about events unrelated to the crime, Fast was defiant during questioning. Citing information included in a court-ordered psychosexual report, Dhillon asked Fast about his behavior as a teenager, when he was caught spying on a woman in her home. “She was a good-looking woman,” Fast responded, justifying his actions by claiming that “any normal
Pastor vouches for Fast
The hearing’s most heated exchange came as Pastor Clint Woods of Soul Purpose Church took the stand to vouch for Fast’s character and ask the judge for leniency. “Lonnie owned up to what happened,” said Pastor Clint Woods, who called Fast “my friend,” adding that “since he’s been in trouble, we’ve gotten even closer as friends.” But Woods acknowledged that Fast never said anything about the crime to anyone until detectives first questioned Fast about the incident in early 2021. After lying to detectives when they first questioned him, Fast contacted another pastor at Soul Purpose “to help him resolve the problem,” Woods said. The next day, Fast and the two pastors met with detectives, when Fast finally admitted to sexually abusing the girl, he testified. In a stern cross-examination, Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Hook pointed out to Woods that Fast later told a psychiatrist that the victim “made up 90% of what happened. … He called her a liar. … He put the blame on her,” he said. “Does that sound like someone who is ‘remorseful’?” Hook asked forcefully. “It doesn’t sound like something he would say,” Woods responded. “Well, he did say it,” responded Hook.

Susannah Tyler
Call 540.270.4931
Susannah Tyler, of Orange, VA, passed away peacefully at home on April 4th, 2022 after a courageous battle with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). She is survived by her three children: Heather Herndon, Bruce Herndon, Jr. (both of Orange); and Kathleen Herndon (Roanoke) and her spouse, Jake Smith. She was predeceased by her parents, William E. (Ned) Tyler, Jr. and Betty Sue Potterfield Tyler, and her companion of nearly 20 years, E.E. “Yank” DuLaney. She leaves behind her three younger sisters: Roxanne Tyler Dinneen, Betsy Tyler Feldmann (Greg), and Eve Tyler Roemhildt (Tom); and many nieces and nephews: Stuart Dinneen, Ellen Dinneen, Anne Tyler Feldmann Howell (Drew), Ned Feldmann (Haley Tray), Will Roemhildt and Lorin Roemhildt, and her faithful canine companion, “Puck”. Susannah was born in Radford, VA on November 11, 1948. The family eventually landed in Warrenton, VA, where Susannah had a habit of roaming freely and jumping fences on her pony. She graduated from Fauquier HS in 1966, and went on to attend Saint Mary’s Jr. College in Raleigh, NC. Susannah graduated from Virginia Tech in 1970, with a BS degree majoring in Clothing, Textiles, and Related Arts. She had a varied career: bank teller, Realtor, associate librarian, and call center associate for a local company. From her youth, Susannah loved animals, and at the age of 10, started showing steers in 4-H Club. She was a 4-H All-Star, and after she had children old enough to participate, she was a leader of the local 4-H Horse Club. She enjoyed foxhunting, and hauling her children and their horses to various events. She was a past member of the Dolley Madison Garden Club, and happily cultivated and showed many flowers, especially daffodils. She also enjoyed serving on the Altar Guild at St. Thomas Episcopal. In her later years, her long-standing interest in genealogy created a new role for her as a family historian. Susannah will be remembered for many things: her quick wit, mischievous green eyes, sense of adventure, and most of all, her perseverance. She stayed sassy until the end. A Celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 11th at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 119 Caroline St., Orange, VA at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to one of the following organizations: The Hospice of the Piedmont, Charlottesville; Orange County SPCA; or The ALS Association

Places of Worship SECONDARY LOSSES
Death has an impact on many areas of one’s life, and the grief associated with losing a loved one can be excruciating. While there are obvious things one can expect to experience immediately following a loss, others creep up more slowly. As time passes, other losses are frequently experienced. Often referred to as secondary losses, these go beyond the primary loss of the loved one. Secondary losses mean different things to different people and are unique experiences. Common secondary losses after the death of a loved one may include loss of income and financial security, loss of a home, and loss of identity. A loss of identity can include no longer being a husband, wife, or parent. It is the goal of MOSER FUNERAL HOME to help people complete the relationship with the one who has died and to provide a climate that encourages each person to give and receive emotional support. During the funeral service, family and friends have the opportunity to relate to each other at the deepest levels. To learn about our funeral services, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
