Supervisors, school board agree on 5% raise for school division employees By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

All Fauquier County Public School employees will receive 5% raises for the 2021-22 school year, although the deal won’t be final until the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors votes on the package at its Thursday, June 10 meeting. A school division press release announced the deal Friday morning. After 18 months filled with turnon-a-dime adjustments to teaching methods and COVID-19 infections that affected more than 190 students and employees, supervisors and school board members agreed Thursday afternoon on a compensation package, the press release said. “We are very pleased to announce this well-deserved salary increase

Saturday’s ‘march for Black lives’ marks 1 year since first BLM protest in Warrenton By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

There were a lot of familiar faces at Saturday morning’s Black Lives Matter march and rally at Courthouse Square in Warrenton. Local BLM supporters have shown up for 52 Saturday “vigils” since the first Courthouse Square rally was held May 31, 2020. It’s a dedicated group, and their easy familiarity with one another is born of sharing the same sidewalks week after week, holding signs and waving to passing motorists, who sometimes honk in support. Even the one counter protester who attended Saturday is a familiar presence by now. After the speeches on Saturday, he joined the half-mile march through Warrenton, walking alongside and chatting with BLM protesters as he carried an “all lives matter” banner and shouted to police that this group was trying to “defund” them. (No one at the weekly vigils or at the rally on Saturday has publicly suggested “defunding” the police.) Sponsors of the vigils include the Fauquier NAACP; the League of Women Voters of the Fauquier and Prince William Area; the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, Northern Piedmont chapter; the Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County; the Piedmont Race Amity Project; and Coming to the Table -- Northern Shenandoah Valley. Jasmin Morton, the Kettle Run High School graduate who organized the June 5 rally after the weekly vigil, had also been part of last year’s kick-off event. Since then, she has participated in other events and forums staged to bring attention to the lives of Black people who have died at the hands of police and other issues that disproportionately impact Black Americans. Saturday’s event was promoted on the Advocating for Justice Facebook page.

Jennifer Carroll Foy, running for the Democratic nomination for governor of Virginia, was one of several candidates who participated in Saturday’s event in Warrenton.

TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/ROBIN EARL

About 60 people walked the ½ mile route through Warrenton to support Black Lives Matter. Morton invited local activists and several candidates for office to speak before the march. All the politicians who spoke were running in Tuesday’s Democratic primary election: Jennifer Carroll Foy, running for governor; Xavier Warren, running for lieutenant governor; and Rod Hall, Idris O’Connor and Del. Elizabeth Guzman, all running for Guzman’s seat in the 31st District. Morton said she invited several Republican politicians, but none chose to attend. Foy gave a fiery speech decrying the racial disparities that still exist in Virginia’s criminal justice system, in the health care system and in the business sector in Virginia. She said it is time for a “working mom to finally represent working families” in the commonwealth. If Foy were to win the governor’s race, she would be the first Black female governor ever in Virginia. Foy is running against former governor Terry McAuliffe, Del. Lee Carter of Manassas, Sen. Jennifer McClellan of Richmond and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. In order to make positive change, she said, “We need everyone in the game,” and asked the crowd to vote in the Democratic primary Tuesday. Hall kept his remarks short but emphasized that his two best reasons for running for delegate are his sons, Pierce, 11, and Carter, 6. Incumbent for the 31st District delegate’s seat, Elizabeth Guzman pointed out that the only barrier against legislation that restricts voting rights – like laws being passed in other states – is continued Democratic control of Virginia’s legislative bodies. She talked about the legislation that she helped pass – minimum wage bills, “commonsense” gun reform and police reform – and told the crowd that there is more to be done. “Your vote is your voice,” she concluded.

Zoning board upholds ag road construction permit to Wildcat Mountain resident BZA finds insufficient evidence that racetrack was going to be built By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

A Fauquier landowner will get to keep his permit to build a looping road on his property -- even though his neighbors believe it was designed to be a go-kart track -- as the result of an unusual Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on Thursday, June 3. Still, a neighbor who lost her attempt to stop the road-building nonetheless declared victory, saying she was satisfied by promises made at the meeting. “Although we didn’t get the permit revoked, we actually won the day,” wrote Jocelyn Alexander on a community Facebook page. In a lively meeting packed with spectators, the BZA upheld the issuance of a grading permit to Najaf Husain, software entrepreneur, semi-professional race car driver and owner of Wildcat Equestrian Farm. Husain had said he was building a farm road for personal and agricultural use on his 250-acre property north of Warrenton. In the course of the appeal, Husain stated that he had never planned

Attorney David Konick attempted to convince the Board of Zoning Appeals that the road planned for a property on Wildcat Mountain was going to be used as a racetrack. to build a racetrack, and his lawyer said that if he did race go-karts on his property, he would be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Alexander had appealed the county’s granting of the permit, and had said she was concerned about noise, traffic, environmental effects and property values if a racetrack were built. Husain was granted a grading permit on April 2 to build what he called a “paved access road” to a proposed barn. Neighbors became suspicious when they saw that the 20-foot-wide road included a long oval with interior connecting loops. They said in affidavits that they heard from close associates of Husain that he had long

wanted to build a track for souped-up go-karts that resemble Formula-I racers. Alexander, who lives nearby and whose family once owned Husain’s land, appealed to the BZA based on what she acknowledged was “circumstantial evidence.” At the meeting, Alexander’s lawyer, David Konick, exhibited a large engineer’s plan that showed what had been permitted – a straight 12-foot-wide paved road leading to the 20-footwide loop in question. The permit also approved a separate 6-foot-wide oval dirt track nearby that Husain said was already being used by his family for horses and dirt bikes. Konick claimed the plans for the paved road included fuel tanks in an area labeled the “paddock,” which

he said was a racing term for a place where cars were kept. “What are those for, to fuel up the sheep?” he asked. He said he did not have much of an argument with the zoning administrator, Amy Rogers, who granted the grading permit based on the information she was presented. But he said that in the application for the permit “material facts were either misrepresented or not represented at all” and he wanted to try to prove it. He asked the board if it would compel witnesses to testify; he said he would likely want to subpoena Husain’s engineer, an excavator, and three of Husain’s acquaintances, including his business partner and his ex-wife. He told the board it was within its power to do so, but in the end the board voted 4-1 not to hear from witnesses. Husain had earlier written a letter to the BZA stating that the looping road was to facilitate backing horse trailers and farm equipment into a barn that was planned for the end of the road. The letter stated that the dirt trail and the paved road were “not for use as a motorized mini ‘Formula 1’ type go- kart” track, and that neither the paved road nor the dirt trail was designed for commercial use.

Three generations of Koehr family men earn 22 Eagle Scout honors By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

James E. Koehr earned his Eagle Scout Award in June of 1952. He had four sons – including Jim Koehr of Warrenton -- who also earned Eagle Scout awards in the late 1970s. Jim Koehr and his wife Colleen have nine sons who collected Eagle Scout honors between 2005 and Feb. 28 of this year. Add in seven Koehr cousins, and that makes 22 Eagles in all. There’s only one problem, according to the patriarch who started it all: “I ran out of grandsons.” Not to worry, though, because the elder Koehr has seven great grandsons… so far. The Koehr clan assembled May 30 to celebrate the most recent Eagle Scouts – Connor Koehr, youngest son of Jim and Colleen Koehr and Zachary Koehr, Connor’s cousin. Eagle Courts of Honor can be serious affairs, with earnest young men reciting the pledges they have come to know so well and recounting their many accomplishments. This gathering was closer to a joyous family reunion – but with uniforms. Not all of the attendees’ uniforms were of the Boy Scout variety either. Of the Warrenton Koehrs’ nine sons, three are serving in the military, one is a former U.S. Army captain, one will be a U.S. Navy chaplain begin-

There are three Koehr daughters as well, Kaitlyn Brindle, Kelly Mooney and Ceili Koehr. Connor Koehr, at only 14 years old, completed the demanding requirements for the Eagle award at a younger age than any of his brothers. His father said, “He occasionally shows that he is only 14, of course, but Connor has a maturity at a young age that I don’t often see. Even though he finished his Eagle the fastest of any one of the boys, I spent the least amount of time pushing him.

Brothers and fellow Eagle Scouts Brian Koehr, Father Sean Koehr, Lt. Junior Grade Patrick Koehr, Lt. Brendan Koehr, Capt. Daniel Koehr and Kevin Koehr were all present for younger brother Connor’s Eagle Scout ceremony. More recent Eagle Scouts Shane – MC for the day -and Seamus Koehr were also on hand.

Connor Koehr’s mom Colleen pins on his Eagle Scout pin while dad Jim Koehr looks on. He had a goal to make it faster than any of his brothers, and that was completely internally driven.” His mother agreed, “He’s the youngest, but …his brothers never treated him like the baby… He wanted their respect and worked hard to get it. He’s a natural leader.” Connor had been home-schooled until this year and just finished eighth grade at Seton School in Manassas. An enthusiastic athlete, he swims and plays lacrosse and soccer. As a first-year diver this year, he placed seventh in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association state diving championships in February. His father said Connor loves fantasy novels, building forts and fighting AirSoft battles in the woods with his friends. At the Eagle ceremony, Connor laughed and joked with his family and friends, clearly enjoying his moment in the limelight. Like his brothers who serve in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy and his brother-in-law, U.S. Marine Maj. Paul Mooney, Connor would like to enter the military someday; his goal is to be a U.S. Marine officer, his dad said.

As Jim Koehr congratulated his youngest son on his Eagle Scout accomplishment, he recalled his own Scouting career. He said that as a Scout himself and as the father of nine Boy Scouts, “I have said the Scout oath and law hundreds of times, and I have failed to live up to the standard they express thousands of times. They set a very high bar.” Koehr talked about Scouting in the ’70s, when his mother was a den mother for him and his brothers. He fondly remembered building pinewood derby cars, painting trash cans as a community service project and “adding as many arrowpoints as would fit on our shirts underneath our Wolf and Bear badges.” His father was Scoutmaster, he recalled, “We camped every month, including the winter months. I remember my breath causing icicles to hang down from the inside of my tent at the Antietam battlefield as I woke up in the LL Bean down sleeping bag that I still use to this day.” On March 7, 1977, Koehr said, “I became the first of the 2nd generation of Eagle Scouts in our family,” and by June 1979, all three of his brothers were also Eagle Scouts. Koehr said, “That was the beginning of a great tradition in our family where the grandfather awards the Eagle Medal to his grandson. I was only 13 years old, but I still remember my grandfather giving me my Eagle medal.” Connor’s grandfather – the aforementioned patriarch James E. Koehr -- awarded his grandson the Eagle prize at the May 30 gathering. When asked to remember a highlight of his years in Scouting, Connor said, “In the summer of 2019, I did a high-adventure trek with my troop to Maine, where we canoed down the Allagash River for eight days. The first morning, we camped on top of a small cliff overlooking Lake Matagamon. My friend Peter Paccassi and I decided to get up at 4 a.m. to watch the sun rise over the lake. It was an amazing trip with my dad, my brother and my friends in Troop 180.”

Supervisors, school board agree on 5% raise for school division employees SCHOOLS, from page 1 She added Friday morning, “It took us a while to get everyone on the same page – school board, board of supervisors and staff -- but we wanted to make sure we got the word out before teachers left for the summer. We wanted to get something out today [the last day of school].” The compensation increase comes at a total cost of $5.66 million, funded through a combination of state compensation supplement, county contribution and the school division’s carryover funds. Essentially, Superintendent of Schools David Jeck said, the money needed for the increases came through a 50/50 split with the county plus salary compensation money from the state. Jeck explained that the state money is available for school districts who commit to giving 5% raises for school employees. “That state money will help,” said Jeck. The county government will contribute $1.45 million toward the raises during upcoming fiscal year, according to Board of Supervisors Chairman Chris Granger (Center District). That contribution will be funded entirely by leftover funds from the fiscal year that ends June 30. The county has not increased its $93.1 million contribution to the school division for three years. Pay raises are still likely for other county employees at the beginning of next year, Granger said. Although the FY 2022 budget passed by supervisors this spring does not include pay raises, supervisors agreed in principle with County Administrator Paul McCulla’s proposal to fund pay raises for all county employees in January, assuming real estate reassessment values – and natural growth, like new buildings and businesses -- rise enough to fund it. (Although real estate values were reassessed beginning last year, results of the reassessment have not yet been finalized. Real estate values are reassessed every four years under the county code.) The school division’s contribution money will come from an estimated $3 million in carryover funds. Jeck explained, “It’s money we didn’t spend this year on fuel, heating and air conditioning. He said that normally, carryover funds represent about 1.5% of the whole school budget. This year, he anticipates it will be closer to 3%. Final numbers will be available in late summer. Jeck said funding salary increases – a long-term commitment because they have to continue to be funded every year – normally would not be funded with carryover funds. The funds would, in a normal year, be reserved for one-time expenses. But Jeck believes that the increases will be supported when student enrollment bounces back to normal

“I am certainly hopeful that it will positively affect retention and recruitment. I think that a lot of people feel they weren’t being appreciated.” She said that even though other counties are giving their employees raises as well, “This will hopefully keep us on the same playing field so we don’t fall further behind.” DONNA GROVE Fauquier County School Board chair

levels. The school division lost almost 900 students during the pandemic, as families turned away from the school division’s remote learning option to home schooling or private schools. With increased enrollment comes increased state funding. Jeck said, “I expect to have a significant enrollment increase. I feel good about where we are with enrollment. I think we’ll be back up to where we were two years ago.” This would also reduce the burden on local funds, Granger explained. If state funding remains static, the county will need to increase its contribution to the school division by up to $2.85 million in future years. But the deal reached last week stipulates the increase to the county’s contribution would be reduced going forward if school enrollment increases, as is widely expected. As part of the deal, the school division will also commit $2 million in additional funds to the Cedar Run Middle School renovation project, reflecting estimates that construction will cost more than originally projected. Jeck was thrilled with the deal between supervisors and the school board. He credited in particular Granger, Grove and McCulla for their hard work. Jeck said, “I’m very happy for our folks. They deserve this raise and so much more. What we have witnessed over the past 15 months is just how special our staff is. We are extremely fortunate. I want to thank all of the members of the board of supervisors, school board and Paul McCulla for working together in order to make this happen. They clearly support our mission.” Jeck said that negotiations between the two boards have been going on for months, but it really intensified over the last few weeks. The supervisors announced earlier this year that they would keep their contribution to the schools flat this year. Jeck said the one factor that made the biggest difference in negotiations was, “They changed their minds on that. They were willing to sit down with us and they were willing to listen.”

In addition to serving as a “thank you” for a staff that struggled with remote learning and COVID-19 protocols once children were back in school, school administrators are also hoping the raises will stem the tide of teachers leaving for other, higher-paying counties. Because of uncertainty about the pandemic and what it might do to county revenues, teachers’ salaries were static last year despite the school board’s (pre-pandemic) request for a 3% raise. Granger said Friday, “The importance of a high-quality public education system was put center stage during the pandemic. It is also necessary to maintain the quality of life and economic development our residents expect. Teachers are the backbone of FCPS and are being competitively recruited by numerous systems in the region. Fauquier must remain competitive in this market.” Like Granger, Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District) also said Friday he plans to vote for the deal when it comes up for a vote this week. “Our students deserve to have high-quality educators. It’s been a rough year for children, and they need caring teachers.” Supervisors Mary Leigh McDaniel, Holder Trumbo and Rick Gerhardt did not respond to requests for comment.

School staff resignations

When Mary Wyckoff, assistant human resources director for the Fauquier County School Division, spoke at the May 10 school board meeting to present the school division’s monthly personnel report, she said that there had been 120 certified “separations,” meaning 120 certified employees (teachers, counselors, librarians) had decided to leave the school division. Fifty-one certified employees retired; others decided to take positions elsewhere. A comparison to last year’s data shows that the number of teachers lost to retirement or other opportunities has been higher than last year, when there were 103 separations; 33 of these were retirements. Butler said Friday that the number of school employees leaving has only increased in the last month. He said, “I called HR yesterday and they [the school division] have had 148 exits, 96 resigned [and] 50 retired.... I spoke with several parents that are also concerned with the number of teachers leaving. If the can continues to get kicked, we won’t get schools open in the fall.”

After 102 certified employees resigned in 20172018 school year, and 96 resigned in 2018-2019, in March of 2019, school board and county supervisors agreed to a funding compromise that resulted in average teacher salary raises of 7% for the 2019-2020 school year, bringing teacher pay much closer to that of surrounding school divisions. With the added funding, the school board was better able to address its salary compression problem, which had resulted in lagging pay among the county’s more veteran teacher ranks. After the salary bumps went into effect, resignations dropped the next year from 96 to only 70. See SCHOOLS, page 7

Zoning board denies The Puppy Shop’s request to renew special permit THE PUPPY SHOP, from page 1 operate in commercial districts of Fauquier County with a special permit granted by the zoning board. Board Chairman John Meadows (Lee District) emphasized before Thursday’s meeting that the board could only consider a narrow slate of zoning-related matters in considering the application. “All the board members are animal lovers,” said Meadows, explaining the board couldn’t address the many accusations in the public comments that dog retailers in general rely on socalled “puppy mills” where dogs are bred in inhumane conditions. Ultimately, the resolution to not renew the permit noted the applicant’s failure to abide by the conditions of the one-year special permit granted by the board last August. The shop, owned by Gainesville resident Angela Jrab, has been cited four times by the county for zoning and building permit violations since it opened in December. The resolution states that, based on the previous violations, Jrab is unlikely to comply with conditions set by the board in the future. Jrab spoke in defense of her actions Thursday, addressing each zoning and building citation and emphasizing she was in good standing with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Division of Animal Control, which granted her a dealer’s license in December. “You’ll have people trash me to no end,” she told the board. “I’m not hiding anything. … I have no violations from animal control,” she said. “Animal control doesn’t have a problem with us, and I don’t know how else I can prove myself.” Most recently, The Puppy Shop was sent a notice of violation May 21 for having 31 puppies in the store, which the county zoning office found to be a violation of the business’ special permit. The permit allows for up to 24 puppies for sale at any one time and stipulates “There shall be no breeding, grooming, training or boarding of dogs on the property.”

Angela Jrab (seated, in black shirt) looks on as Fauquier SPCA Executive Director Devon Settle (in foreground) addresses the board Thursday. Jrab argued the seven additional dogs were not for sale and therefore did not violate the terms of the permit, claiming the puppies had just arrived from a breeder and were being quarantined. When pressed by Meadows -- “But [the puppies] were there.” – Jrab responded: “They were there. They were not for sale. They were quarantined.” She added at another point: “We had 31 puppies we intended to sell, but not all were for sale.” Addressing two zoning violations for unpermitted signs near the store, Jrab argued the zoning department did not hold other nearby businesses to the same standard – businesses that, she claimed, were also violating county sign ordinances. “Unpermitted and impermissible signs were erected multiple times after notification in writing was provided to the business owner,” says the community development department staff report submitted to the board ahead of the meeting. Verbal and written warnings were issued to Jrab on several occasions, the report notes, and formal notices of violation were issued to Jrab on April 15 and May 3. Jrab also responded to a stopwork order issued against her busi-

ness in August 2020, just a week after her initial Fauquier County special permit was approved. The order claimed that work requiring a building permit had been performed without one. “It wasn’t like we built out anything,” Jrab said in her defense. “We had actually removed what had been there for the cleaners.” (A dry-cleaning business operated in the storefront previously.) Jrab said the work had started in April 2020 – she signed a lease for the space in March 2020 – but that most of the work entailed tearing out decades-worth of old equipment and involved little actual construction. She also defended her business against the public comments accusing her of sourcing dogs from puppy mills, detailing each document -- like health certificates and documentation of the puppies’ origin -she must have for each puppy in the store. She refuses to procure puppies that don’t have a health certificate as legally required, she said. “Animal control can come in any time,” she again emphasized. “They have never written us up for anything.” All breeders who supply puppies to the shop do not have USDA violations on record, she said, as re-

quired by law. In addition to the dozens of written comments submitted before the meeting, ten people spoke at the public hearing before the vote Thursday. Like those submitting written comments, all were opposed to renewing the special permit. Polly Gault, representing the Middleburg Humane Foundation, chronicled to the board the foundation’s years-long efforts to obtain a special permit for its 23-acre animal shelter in Marshall. The facility is allowed to house up to 30 animals at once. “We’re not a storefront in a strip mall,” Gault said. Addressing The Puppy’s Shop May 21 citation, she added: “We have a whole separate wing for quarantine … and [the quarantined dogs] go toward our animal count” stipulated in the foundation’s special permit. “It took us years … to get the zoning and permitting for our new facility,” Gault said, emphasizing county staff worked with the foundation to ensure the facility would be a safe place for the animals. “We ask today that you require the same type of requirements for everybody.” Angie Roeder, the executive director of Washington Area Animal Adoption Group based in Delaplane, argued in a similar vein. The organization’s facility has moved several times, each time requiring a new special permit, she explained. “Each time we get our permit, we follow the rules,” she said, arguing entities that violate the terms of a permit shouldn’t be granted a renewal. After a lengthy closed session to discuss the legal implications of the issue, board members returned to open session and -- without further discussion -- unanimously approved the resolution to deny Jrab’s request to operate in Fauquier County past Aug. 6. Jrab did not respond to a request for comment after the meeting. Reach Coy Ferrell at cferrell@ fauquier.com

Supervisors, school board agree on 5% raise for school division employees SCHOOLS, from page 6 In February of 2020, before the extent of the pandemic’s impact on the county budget was known, Jeck’s proposed compensation plan was designed to bring school division employee salaries even closer to their peers in nearby districts. Under Jeck’s plan, for instance: • Teachers would have received a 3% raise. • School nurses would have been moved to the certified employee compensation scale over two years that Jeck said at the time, “would put them at 100% of market. This was/is a budget priority for our school board.” • The minimum wage for the school division would have increased to $10.50, which would have raised salaries for cafeteria monitors, who were earning an hourly rate lower than that. • According to that plan, all employee compensation would have been brought to 90% to 100% of an average of some nearby localities, although Jeck pointed out that other school divisions regularly raise their salaries, too. Fauquier County supervisors, though, decided

not to increase the budget because of the uncertainty caused by the pandemic. No raises were given to county employees – including teachers -- in the 2020/21 budget.

Neighboring counties

Next door in Prince William, despite the pandemic -- or maybe, in part, because of it -- Prince William County teachers and staff will receive their largest annual raise in more than a decade. The Prince William County School Board is giving its teachers and staff a 5% raise for the 2021-22 school year. Prince William County supervisors adopted the school budget on April 27. Prince William County teachers’ starting pay -- which is currently $50,324 for those with a bachelor’s degree – is higher than that offered by Fairfax ($50,000), Alexandria ($49,384), Arlington ($48,228), Manassas City ($48,678) and Manassas Park ($50,055), according to the 2021 Washington Area Boards of Education Guide of local school division data. Loudoun County’s starting salary for teachers is $53,457.

Fauquier County’s starting salary (at step 1) for teachers with the same degree is $44,800. For teachers with the most experience, Fauquier pays $71,738 at step 30; Prince William pays $119,439 (before the recently announced increase) and Loudoun pays $94,746, according to a teacher scale comparison provided by the Fauquier school division. Wayde B. Byard, public information officer for Loudoun County Public Schools, said Friday that “for FY22, all eligible employees will receive a step increase (an average of 2.4%). In addition to that, salary scales were revised with a 3.5% market adjustment and an additional .5% for employees on the teacher salary scale on steps 11-25.” `Grove said about the Fauquier County raises, “I am certainly hopeful that it will positively affect retention and recruitment. I think that a lot of people feel they weren’t being appreciated.” She said that even though other counties are giving their employees raises as well, “This will hopefully keep us on the same playing field so we don’t fall further behind.” Jeck seconded Grove’s feelings. “I’m just really happy.”

Community college supporters celebrate construction of new science building on Warrenton campus LFCC board chooses Laurel Ridge Community College as 50-year-old college’s new name By Robin Earl

decided on a new name for the college -- Laurel Ridge Community College. The college held a ceremony June 2 to celebrate the construction of the Eleanor C. and William A. Hazel Hall. Supporters at the gathering were invited to sign what will be the building’s final steel beam. The two-story, 40,000 square-foot building will include state-of-the art classrooms and laboratories where health care, science and engineering students will be able to receive hands-on training. William A. Hazel Sr. and his wife Eleanor were instrumental in bringing the LFCC satellite campus to Fauquier County in the early 1970s, and the William A. Hazel Family Foundation contributed $1 million for the campus’s newest building. William A. Hazel, Sr. passed away in 2012; Eleanor Hazel died in 2020. The PATH Foundation contributed $1 million to the project in 2016 and private donations were secured as well. State funds were finally made available in 2019 when the Virginia General Assembly approved $7.4 million in additional funds to cover escalating construction costs. The college held an initial groundbreaking in 2017, but funding delays and

The Barn was constructed in 1989 with funds donated by Bob and Janet Sowder. Wolk Hall, the main academic building, and the Sowder Library complete the current campus. A plaza next to Hazel Hall will connect The Barn and Wolk Hall to

the science building. Grimm & Parker of Vienna, Virginia, is the design firm and Kjellstrom & Lee of Staunton, Virginia, is the general contractor on the Hazel Hall project. The building is expected to be ready for students in the spring of 2022. See LFCC, page 17

Student’s mural brightens wall at new Moe’s restaurant By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

When Frank Maresca decided to open a Moe’s Southwest Grill in Warrenton, not far from his Aldie home, he wanted his new franchise to have a local feel. In the middle of renovating the former Pizza Hut on Broadview Avenue late last year, the idea came to him: a Warrenton-themed mural designed by a local. On June 3, Maresca unveiled the Moe’s Warrenton mural, the culmination of a month-long design competition with Fauquier High School students. The vibrant mural depicts Moe’s restaurant surrounded by notable Warrenton landmarks, including the town’s iconic courthouse and other historic buildings along Main Street. “[We wanted] a mural that is reflective of the town of Warrenton and the Moe’s brand,” said Maresca, who also owns four other Moe’s franchises across Virginia. “Warrenton is a very welcoming town, and we want to [reflect] that at Moe’s.” The idea came to Maresca after he had some large exterior refrigerators removed, leaving a large, blank wall along the rear exterior of the building. Maresca not only wanted drive-through patrons to have something fun to look at, he wanted to build a sense of community. So, rather than contract a professional artist, Maresca reached out to nearby Fauquier High School with a proposition: If the school held a contest to design the mural, he would choose one of the students’ designs. As an added incentive, the contest winner would receive a $1,000 prize and free burritos for a year. Starting in February, students submitted posterboard sketches of their designs to be judged by a panel that included Maresca, Moe’s corporate marketing team, Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill

and Dawn Brown, the school’s art teacher. The winning design was submitted by Ebony Wells, a junior at Fauquier. “[Ebony’s] submission immediately caught my eye,” said Maresca, “It was really bright and colorful.” To create the final 7 by 12 ft. mural, the Moe’s marketing team digitized Wells’ submission, then printed it on the restaurant wall a few days prior to the June 3 ceremony. “When I found out I had won, I was so happy,” said Wells, whose design was chosen from among 15 student entries. Wells, who grew up drawing with her grandmother, is an active member of her school’s National Art Honors Society and aspires to open her own fashion business. “I’m a fashionista,” she said, “and I plan to draw designs and make clothes to put in my shop.”

“I’m glad it went to Ebony,” said Brown, Wells’ art teacher. “I know it means a great deal to her … and I hope it inspires her to keep going with art.” At the unveiling ceremony, Wells, surrounded by supportive school faculty, received her cash prize from Maresca and Nevill. “To see a business open in the pandemic and not only be economically successful, but also open up to students and the community is truly remarkable,” Nevill said. For Maresca, who was initially apprehensive about opening a new franchise during the COVID-19 pandemic, the reception in Warrenton came as a pleasant surprise. “It’s been great to see support from the school and the town,” he said, “[and] to see all the creativity behind the submissions … I’d love to figure out a way to do something like this in the future.”

Programs supported by the Fauquier Excellence in Education Foundation Educator grants

An essential focus of the Fauquier Excellence in Education Foundation is helping teachers take advantage of professional development opportunities that they would otherwise have to pay for themselves. The foundation enables them to improve their skills and return to the classrooms, directly impacting student advancement.

STEM and environmental studies

The Foundation supports STEM and environmental studies specifically. STEM is an approach to learning and development that integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Through STEM, students develop critical skills including problem-solving, creativity, critical analysis, teamwork, independent thinking, digital literacy and more.

My First Book Club

The program focuses on literacy at the pre-K level. Research has emphasized the importance of early literacy in the long-term educational development of youth, said Executive Director Stacie Griffin. Each child receives a free book each month to keep. Often, it is the first book the child has ever owned, she said. The teacher works with each child and then gathers the class together to discuss the book, just like a traditional book club. The students talk about the book’s story, sharing their thoughts and feelings, and creating peer interaction in the process. The children are also encouraged to take the books home and begin building a little library.

Transitions

The program supports life transitions for students with special needs who can attend high school through the age of 22. The effort is to create employment opportunities by teaching real-life skills since many students will not go on to college. Goals could include working in jobs like local grocery stores, learning how to do their laundry and fundamentally taking care of themselves as functioning adults.

Delivering for Fauquier County youth and teachers Non-profit Fauquier Excellence in Education Foundation supports public schools By John Hagarty

Special to the Fauquier Times

Officially incorporated in 1987 as the Committee for Excellence in Education, the organization was originally created to support teachers in Fauquier County Public Schools. It provided instructors funds to take classes, seminars and attend conferences supporting their professional growth. In 2013, the committee’s name was changed to its current title -- Fauquier Excellence in Education Foundation – and considerably broadened its agenda. Today, both teachers and children are reaping the benefits of the nonprofit’s expanded portfolio. To date, the foundation has awarded more than $275,000 in grants to teachers, administrators, aides and support staff, according to the foundation’s Executive

A-R topography sandboxes

The curriculum explores the importance of water, watersheds, hydrology, topography, landforms, geology, the effects of weather, earth science and more. It’s been made available through a grant from Dominion Energy and uses augmented reality 3-D topography sandbox tables to illustrate concepts.

Each one has a “Donate” button as part of the program description so residents can select the specific program they wish to support.

Director Stacie Griffin. The change in focus was triggered by parents, the school board and county supervisors, Griffin said, all who agreed new ways were needed to help fund educational programs that could directly benefit public school education. Griffin recalled thinking, “We’ve been doing this for some 20 years. We need to grow our vision beyond just teacher grants.” Today, those programs include multi-sensory literacy, My first Book Club, A-R Topography Sand Box, educator grants, summer camps, new teacher dinners and teacher of the year awards, among other initiatives. The foundation is headed by a ten-member board led by Griffin. Coming from a background in radio and television management on the West Coast, the birth of Griffin’s son,

She was born in Maryland, and her husband always liked the region, so the move to Virginia was a good fit. Today, the family resides in The Plains.

Wakefield School graduates 35 Saturday Families, faculty members and others from the Wakefield School community gathered on a hot, sunny Saturday on the hilltop campus near The Plains this weekend to celebrate the school’s Class of 2021. The 35 graduates, dressed in the school’s traditional blazers, straw hats and white dresses, were all smiles -- smiles that were finally unmasked after a school year disrupted by the pandemic.

Delivering for Fauquier County youth and teachers

EIE, from page 11

She is the only paid foundation employee, working about 25 hours a month. “Our hard-working board is the heart of the foundation. I help coordinate their efforts,” emphasized Griffin. Griffin’s passionate take on education best characterizes the foundation’s programs. “I never want any child’s experience or education dependent on money or the size of their parent’s wallet. I want every child to have a great experience in life,” she said. She further underscores that very wealthy people live in the county, but it also has two schools that rely on free and reduced lunch programs. Major Warner, deputy super-

intendent of the Fauquier County Schools, said, “The Fauquier Excellence in Education Foundation is a remarkable organization made up of dedicated community leaders and retired educators who are tireless in their desire to provide deeper levels of support for teachers and schools. Every community needs and will benefit from organizations such as FEIEF because of the commitment to ensuring that teachers have what they need, when they need it most. They are critical to the vision and mission of our organization.” Those who would like to support the foundation can select one or more of the foundation’s initiatives to donate to (see accompanying box). Grif-

fin said, “We are a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit, so donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. We invite everyone to look at the website and find a program that speaks to them. “Every penny received is coded and goes directly to the program selected. That’s how the public can best help our educators and students,” said Griffin. Another traditional fundraising source for the foundation is its annual golf tournament. For 21 years, the tournament has been an important source of funding for the foundation. This year the event will be held at the Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville on June 21. The fee is $150 per person. It’s anticipated it will generate

over $15,000. The money will go primarily to teacher grants. Golfers can sign up on the foundation’s website. Give Local Piedmont, sponsored by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, is an important source of funding. Scheduled this year for Tuesday, May 4, Give Local Piedmont was a one-day, online giving event to inspire people to donate to local nonprofit organizations. For more information, visit https:// www.npcf.org/give-local-piedmont. “I am proud of the foundation. I’m proud of our board of directors, who donate their personal time and expertise. It’s a group of volunteers who really support our public schools,” Griffin said.

Suspect in Warrenton burglary also charged in Bealeton break-in By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office detectives have charged Kevin Valle, 19, of Oxon Hill, Maryland in the May 14 burglary of the Cinco De Mayo convenience store on Remington Road in Bealeton. Valle was charged with burglary, petit larceny and destruction of property on June 1, according to Sgt. Steven Lewis of the FCSO. On May 28, Valle was charged with destruction of property, conspiracy to commit a felony, burglary and grand larceny in a similar burglary of Drum & Strum Music on Main Street in Warrenton, according to Officer Chai Fuller of the Warrenton Police Department. The Warrenton burglary happened the same day, around the same time. Ceasar’s Pizza in Bealeton was also broken into during the early morning hours on May 14, but Valle has not been charged in that crime so far. Lewis said at the time that nothing was taken from the Bealeton pizza restaurant. Valle was also charged – along with another man – in a series of commercial burglaries in Loudoun County. Zakariah H. Sudi, 20, of Falls Church, Virginia and Valle have been charged with burglary, destruction of property and possession of a stolen firearm in May 18 burglaries at the Sterling Smoke and Vape Store and the Delhi Bazaar on Ice Rink Plaza in Ashburn. The two men were taken into custody after a foot pursuit

by Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office deputies. Sudi was also charged with obstruction of justice and Valle was charged additionally with providing false identification to law enforcement, according to a May 18 press release from the LCSO. In all three Fauquier break-ins, suspects broke the glass front doors of the businesses with rocks. At Drum & Strum, a cash box, a banjo and a laptop were stolen; at Cinco De Mayo, the cash register was taken. Video footage of the Cinco De Mayo burglary show the suspects moving quickly in and out of the shop; less than a minute passed from the breaking of the door glass to the suspects fleeing the store. Valle is being held with no bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. Lewis said that in investigating the three Fauquier burglaries and others like it in nearby counties, detectives worked with officers of the Warrenton Police Department, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, the Alexandria, Arlington, Leesburg, Fairfax, Falls Church, City of Manassas and Prince William police departments.

Similar burglaries reported in Prince William and Loudoun counties

On Friday, May 14, three similar commercial burglaries were reported in Prince William County -- at Comics and Gaming, Inc., at the Glass City Tobacco Store and the Nokesville Superette. Video surveillance at Glass City revealed that at

approximately 2:40 a.m., two men used a large rock to shatter the front door to enter the business. The suspects are seen grabbing the cash registers and fleeing the area. The Nokesville Superette investigation revealed that a rock was thrown through the Kevin Valle glass door to force entry into the store sometime between 7 p.m. on May 13 and 7:40 a.m. on May 14. Cash registers were reported missing. Five similar overnight burglaries were reported in Loudoun County, three of them during the early morning hours of May 10. According to a press release from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, the Purcellville Pharmacy, the Purcellville Cleaners and the Hamilton C Store were all forcibly entered in the early morning hours, between 4 and 5:30 a.m. In all three cases the stores’ glass doors were damaged to gain entry. In some of the cases, cash was taken. On Monday, May 17, at approximately 3:03 a.m, Leesburg Police Department officers were dispatched to a shopping center at 108 South St., SE for a glass break alarm. Officers noticed that the front glass door of a business was shattered. Several items in the business were disturbed and a small amount of cash was taken.

17-year-olds accused of killing Derek De La Iglesia to face jury trial in December JURY TRIAL, from page 1 arrested Jan. 25 and remain in custody. In addition to the murder charge, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, each is charged with using a firearm in the commission of robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery. Clark also faces a separate murder charge in Culpeper County in connection with the Dec. 31, 2020 shooting death of 19-year-old Trajon Taylor. Clark pleaded not guilty to that charge this week and is scheduled to face a four-day trial in Culpeper beginning Oct. 19, according to reporting from the Culpeper Star-Exponent. Additionally, Clark entered an “Alford Plea” – an acknowledgment there is enough evidence to convict, but not an admission of guilt -- to one felony count of attempted grand larceny in Culpeper County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court earlier this year, the Star-Exponent reported. That charge stems from

an alleged June 23, 2020 burglary of Westside Grocery in Culpeper and is unrelated to either murder. De La Iglesia, who had moved from Bealeton to Marshall a few days before his death, died from a single gunshot wound to the head, according to a Feb. 9 search warrant affidavit filed by a Warrenton detective. He was found already deceased the afternoon of Oct. 6 in his vehicle, which was parked in front of an apartment complex on Jackson Street in Warrenton. Clark and Webster communicated with De La Iglesia via Snapchat shortly prior to the murder, according to the affidavit. “Passing lord fair fax,” (sic) said one message, the affidavit alleged. “I’m here 6ro,” (sic) said another. A third person, Tyrik D’Andre Simmons, 22, of Madison Heights, was arrested Jan. 12; he is accused of driving the suspects to the scene of the murder and back to Culpeper. He has been charged as an accessory after a homicide. Simmons is sched-

POLICE BRIEF Manassas man charged for eluding police A 42-year-old Manassas man was arrested and charged with felony eluding, reckless driving by speed and multiple traffic infractions on Wednesday, June 2, according to Sgt. Steven Lewis of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 7400 block of Cedar Knolls Drive in Warrenton for a welfare check at about 5:45 p.m. Lewis said that the reporting party told deputies that Patrick Foreman had made

concerning comments to them, and that Foreman was on his way to their address. Deputies were given a description of the vehicle that Foreman was operating. Soon after, deputies identified the vehicle driving in front of the Cedar Knolls address. Lewis said that the vehicle began to pull to the shoulder of the roadway when deputies attempted a traffic stop, See ARREST, page 16

I am pleased to announce the marriage of my son

Tyler Morgan Miklovic who took his bride, the former

Miss Taylor Lynn Mathews,

as his wedded wife after a long postponement of their ceremony while selflessly serving in their respective medical roles as frontline providers throughout the novel coronavirus pandemic. In their formal religious event the couple exchanged their vows in the company of many friends and loved ones during the beautiful spring evening of Saturday, May 22, 2021 in the gardens of Bedford Columns, in Bedford, Virginia. The glowing bride was presented by her father, Jeffrey Wilson Mathews. The bride's white floor length sheath gown with a cathedral length train created a stunning appearance as she was escorted down the aisle to her pastor, the expectant groom, the groom's younger brother, and a warm contingent of bridesmaids and groomsmen. The groom's education began at The Hill School in Middleburg, Virginia in the fall of 1998. In 2019 he received his M.D. degree from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. In 2014 he graduated from Virginia Tech after completing a B.S. in biological sciences and a B.S. in psychology, where he also served as President of the Xi Omega Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. His bride, an R.N, received her B.S. from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing during the challenging early period of the pandemic. The groom's mother, Deborah Lynn Napier, Esq., and her sons are direct descendants of American Patriots who served during the American Revolutionary War. Richard Luttrell served with the Fauquier Militia. Richard Jenkins served with the Culpeper Minute Men. Later, Rappahannock County became the home place of their maternal line. This couple's public service continues our family's unbroken generational sacrifices in non-career U.S. military positions. Capt. and Mrs. Tyler M. Miklovic, M.D. will continue to make their home near the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center in Texas, where Capt. Miklovic serves his country as a member of the Medical Corps of the United States Army.

Manassas man charged for eluding police ARREST, from page 15 but it pulled away when a deputy approached the car. As the car sped away, the driver – who was later identified as Foreman -- allegedly committed multiple traffic infractions and was driving recklessly, Lewis said. The deputies pursued the vehicle through the Vint Hill Road area into Prince William County. Foreman allegedly led deputies into a residential area in Prince William County and travelled to a deadend road. Lewis said that deputies saw Foreman jump out of the vehicle while it was slowing down, and he fled on foot. Foreman’s vehicle came

to a stop after rolling into a parked vehicle. Deputies pursued Foreman on foot through a residential area, and a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office K-9 team began tracking Foreman, said Lewis. Shortly thereafter, K-9 Hank located and apprehended Foreman. Foreman was taken into custody and evaluated by rescue personnel. Lewis said that he was transported to Prince William Hospital for medical treatment before being taken to the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held with no bond.

Zoning board upholds ag road construction permit WILDCAT, from page 3 Husain’s attorney, Gregory Ashwell, argued at Thursday’s meeting that the permit was issued for road grading and nothing else. “What would happen if the Indy 500 were held there?” he asked, rhetorically. He said the county could move for an abatement of the permit or even seek “jail time” for Husain. “It will not be done,” he said. “I can assure you it is for agricultural purposes and for no more.” Ashwell said Husain was out of the country Thursday and could not be reached.

Ashwell did not return a phone call later asking for comment. Rogers, the zoning administrator, argued that her granting of the permit was done according to regulations and was based on information contained in the application. She said Husain’s application met the criteria required for a grading permit, and asked the board to uphold her decision. Board member Lawrence McDade said the appeal had not shown that the “zoning administrator’s decision was arbitrary,” and the board upheld the permit on a 5-0 vote.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | June 9, 2021

Remembering the joys of fishing with Uncle Joe The late 1950s were a wonderful time; God was in his heaven; the world was at peace; Eisenhower was president; and, most important of all, the fish were biting. Who could ask for anything more? My Uncle Joe and Aunt Anne had a summer resort on Big Bear Lake near Hayward, Wisconsin, where our large family would annually gather. My aunts would catch up on family affairs, and my uncles would go out fishing before the sun came up. I don’t know who had the better time – the women who gossiped loudly over hot tea and grilled scones or the men who shivered silently over cold coffee and hard biscuits. Each boat journeyed to the occupants’ favorite fishing spot. Each boat held two of my uncles and usually one of my sleepy cousins – a young boy or girl who was kept awake learning fishing techniques and the correct lure to employ. All enjoyed the adventure and the comradery; all except for Uncle Joe,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Military dependents should be thanked for their service too A very nice lady in the Piggly Wiggly today (June 5) where I live in Georgia said she liked my Army Security Agency cap and thanked me for my service. That made me feel honored to have served my country from May 1965 to May 1969, with my last year at Vint Hill Farms. I was also a proud member of the Honor Guard. I bought my very first Fauquier Times newspaper in May 1968 in Warrenton. It also made me think that all military dependents should also be thanked for their service for what they must endure throughout the enlistment. I had to work as duty driver on our first Christmas in Frankfurt, Germany while my first ex-wife sat at home, all alone, weeping. I would also like to thank my second ex-wife in Warrenton for inspiring me to write this letter. She came very close to being my military dependent when I almost reenlisted after we were married. Thank you, B’anne. So, thank you all military dependents for your service. The military would fall apart without your support. And thank all of you for thanking us for our service. It really makes us proud to have served. TERRY PHILLIPS Donalsonville, Georgia

DON BACHMANN STOPS ALONG THE WAY

who fished alone with his Native guide pointing out the best places. For him, it was a serious struggle between man and fish. It was on one of these morning fishing expeditions that Uncle Joe lost his prized lure while angling off the dam. He described the engagement as, “ … a titanic battle with a giant northern pike that broke my line and ate my best lure.” You see, Uncle Joe was a storyteller who made every word count; as fishing stories go, it was certainly epic and memorable. When he finished the tale, it was akin to Captain Ahab’s harpooning of the great white

whale, Moby Dick. I would add that many of my uncles, though skeptical, always got a kick out of Uncle Joe’s tales. Later that day, after a resort lunch, the fishermen again rowed out to their favorite spots. Uncle Pete, however, decided to try Uncle Joe’s morning location down by the dam. It was an exciting afternoon, with all the men bringing home ample fish for a late dinner – all except for Uncle Joe, who lacked the favor of the fishing gods. Upon their return, men cleaned the communal fish and the women battered and cooked them to perfection. As we sat down to eat, and for the supposed benefit of the ladies, Uncle Pete enticed Uncle Joe to retell his encounter with the giant pike. Uncle Joe willingly complied, and upon conclusion, Uncle Pete laid before him a medium-sized pike with Uncle Joe’s prized fishing lure in its mouth. You see, Uncle Pete had caught the very same fish that Uncle Joe had described in his “titanic battle.”

Uncle Joe noticed his lure and stared at it in surprise as my uncles slowly began to laugh. As the laughter grew and full realization hit him, he denied that the lure was his. But this only resulted in all the men and the women laughing even louder. And then, most surprising of all, Uncle Joe joined in the laughter until tears streamed down his cheeks. Such were the times – times when family would gather to renew the familial bonds of trust and love. Human foibles might be revealed, but the revelation didn’t matter. In truth it only made each of them more human and accepting of the other. I hope that each of you have such stories – such memories; they make our lives worth living. It seems to me that we live our lives in remembrance of what was; but also and more importantly, we live our lives for the memories that are yet to be. Don Bachmann lives in Orlean.

Community college supporters celebrate construction of new science building LFCC, from page 10 The community college’s main campus is in Middletown, with a satellite campus in Warrenton and smaller facilities in Luray and Vint Hill. The college serves about 7,600 students annually in accredited programs along with more than 10,000 people enrolled in industry and business development classes.

Laurel Ridge Community College

LFCC’s board of directors, with input from more than 100 students, staff, alumni and members of the community, narrowed suggestions for the college’s new name down to five choices in May, and last week, the board chose Laurel Ridge Community College over Valley & Vista, Red Oak, Valley & Ridge and Newbridge. The college, like the other 22 in the Virginia Community College System, had been directed last summer by the Virginia State Board for Community Colleges to review its name, as well as those of all its named facilities. In February, LFCC’s College Board voted 9 to 3 to rename the college. The college is named for Thomas, the 6th Lord Fairfax, a British nobleman whose family was granted approximately 5.5 million acres of land in Virginia by the British crown during the 18th century. Fairfax eventually managed his vast holdings from an estate in Clarke County. According to the LFCC committee, the college’s board chose the name in 1969 to coincide with

the Lord Fairfax Planning District, renamed the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission in 2001. Neither Fairfax himself nor his family had any direct connection with the college, founded almost two centuries after his death. The workgroup unanimously agreed, based on his history as a slaveowner and someone who “maintained an air of indifference to the American Revolution,” that if the college were being named today, the group would not recommend it be named for Thomas, the 6th Lord Fairfax, a statement from the college says. A survey found that about 90% of people familiar with the college did not know who Thomas, 6th Lord Fairfax was, according to the statement. The statement quotes retired Lt. Gen. Benjamin Freakley, who represents Shenandoah County on the LFCC board. “Often, we just move forward day by day without thinking about our name, so this gives us a great opportunity to look at ourselves and determine who we are in relation to our values, our mission, where we are today as an institution and where we want to go tomorrow. Lord Fairfax doesn’t represent anything we are about.” The name change is expected to cost between $115,000 and $298,000, according to a 2020 report, mostly due to branding expenditures like new signs, website redesign and other marketing materials. No public or tax money will be used for the changes, LFCC President Kimberly Blosser told the Winchester Star in April.

“Money to change the name would come from LFCC’s auxiliary fund, Blosser said, which includes revenue the college earns from its campus bookstore, vending machines and renting out campus spaces for events. Student tuition will not go toward renaming costs,” the Star reported. The name change has prompted fierce opposition from some local officials. Va. Sen. Jill Vogel, R-Upperville; Del. Michael Webert, R-Marshall; Del. Mark Cole, R-Spotsylvania; Del. David LaRock, R-Hamilton; Va. Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-Harrisonburg; and House of Delegates Minority Leader Todd Gilbert, R-Woodstock all signed a letter in opposition. A resolution passed by the Fauquier County Republican Committee called the name change part of a “reactionary” effort to “obliterate history” and argues the funds could better be used elsewhere. In Frederick County, supervisors – all of whom are Republicans -- passed a resolution last month opposing the change, with at least two supervisors suggesting that the county withhold funds from the college if it changed its name. Frederick County contributes about $81,000 per year to the college, and Fauquier contributes around $78,000. The vast majority of the college’s $32 million annual budget comes from tuition fees and direct funding from the state government. The State Board for Community Colleges has the final authority on the new name and will make a decision in July.

Hard-hitting Falcons bash their ticket to softball regionals, Cougars ousted By Fred Hodge

District tournament results

Special to the Times

After the stellar season they’ve had, it’s no surprise Fauquier is headed to next week’s Region 4C softball tournament. The home-standing Falcons clinched their spot with a 9-2 victory June 2 against the Sherando Warriors in a Northwestern District semifinal game. Fauquier improved to 14-0 and played James Wood in the district championship Tuesday. Both qualified for the June 14 regional semifinals against Dulles District foes. Kettle Run’s strong season was ended by James Wood, 6-4, in the other semifinal. Kettle Run (7-4) reached the semifinals by edging Liberty, 2-0, and led James Wood late until the Colonels won with a five-run sixth inning rally. Fauquier, which posted a 17-1 rout of Culpeper in the quarterfinals, didn’t roar out of the gate early against Sherando. “When you play a team so many times, they start to play to your weaknesses,” coach Erika Lamper said. The Falcons, however, are a plucky bunch and find ways to score runs in bunches. “For our girls it’s only a matter of

Fauquier catcher Helena Lovell took a throw from Izzy Evans to cut down a Sherando runner at the plate in the sixth inning of Fauquier’s 9-2 win in Friday’s Northwestern District semis. time. Once they get their timing, we score,” Lamper said. Both teams were scoreless in the first inning, with Fauquier leaving two runners aboard. In the bottom of the second, Helena Lovell led off with a hit, and Emma Carter followed with a well-placed bunt single. Both advanced on a delayed steal before Haley Saulsbury sent a 3-2 pitch

down the left field line for a 1-0 lead. The surge ended when a planned rundown situation backfired, with Carter cut down at the plate. The lead grew to 2-0 in the third when Skye Corum sent a screaming two-out line drive inches over the right center field fence for her eighth home run. Back-to-back Warrior errors led to the third run.

Falcon senior Meghan Harrington struck out seven batters in the opening three innings, but that goose egg vanished in the fourth when an infield error, a single and a sacrifice fly cut the margin to 3-2 and led to some consternation in the Falcon dugout. Fauquier countered as Katie Harrington walked with one out and scored on a Payton Swart double off the center fielder’s glove for a 4-2 lead. The host Falcons added on in the fifth. Corum walked ahead of a Lovell single and a walk to Carter to load the bases. Saulsbury then grounded a double over the first base bag into the right field corner, scoring all three runners for a 7-2 lead. “I was very proud of her,” Lamper said of Saulsbury, adding every girl has delivered in important situations.

‘SOMETIMES IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE’ Kettle Run boys soccer falls in district semis to Millbrook, 1-0 By Billy Marin

Despite strong efforts by John Otooni (No. 14) and Joel WIlliamson (No. 9), Kettle Run fell to rival Millbrook 1-0 in last Friday’s district semifinal.

Special to the Times

The Kettle Run boys soccer team fell 1-0 to Millbrook in the Northwestern District semifinals last Friday, ending their chances at a regional bid and their season. The game was tight, with both teams struggling to create chances. Millbrook (9-3) capitalized on their opportunity, scoring a header from a free kick in the ninth minute. The defeated Cougars (6-5) left the field to applause from their home support section, who knew the Cougars’ 15 seniors had been deprived of their junior season by the pandemic, making their final game together significant. “We all grew up together, we’ve played together our whole lives, some of us since preschool. I love all of these guys and it’s been a special sea-

son,” said senior John Otooni. Senior captain Garrett Ritter wore a glazedover expression of post-game disappointment, soon to be consoled by coach Phil Roper. “I know how hard it is for the seniors especially since they missed their junior year,” said Roper, “but I’m just glad we got a season in, got to play. And we’re all grateful for that.” Missing regionals is a rarity for Roper’s local dynasty, which has made it nine times since the school opened in 2008 with state titles in 2015 and 2017. In 2019, Kettle Run downed Millbrook 4-2 in the last district title game contested before the pandemic.

The game between familiar rivals was tense, with the early goal defining the game. Millbrook’s goal by Garrett Johnson in the ninth minute came on the first real scoring opening. Johnson flicked in a header from outside the box, assisted by Patrick Sigler. “Scoring early like we did meant the defense had to stay focused and in check the whole game. They did their job today and so did the team, that’s how we won,” said Millbrook coach Keith Kilmer, whose team will make its seventh region appearance and first since 2015. See SOCCER, page 20

Kettle Run baseball bounced in district semis, Falcons’ season ends, too By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

All fans ask is that you put a competitive team on the field. Coach Ty Thorpe has been doing that with his Cougar baseball team for 13 years and he did it again in 2021 with a team that wasn’t his most powerful, but still came within striking distance of a region playoff berth. Facing visiting James Wood (102) in Friday’s Northwestern District semifinals, the Cougars (7-4) scraped together two runs in the bottom of the third inning to take a 2-1 lead, only to see it slip away in a 5-2 loss that ended Kettle Run’s season one win short of the region berth. Fauquier (7-5) also fell in the semis, dropping a 13-0 decision at Millbrook (11-1). “There have been tougher losses in my career. I’m glad we made it as far as we did.

“It was a close game, Millbrook took their opportunity and we didn’t take ours, but Millbrook played a good game and deserved to win it. Sometimes it’s not meant to be for you,” Roper said. Kettle Run created some opportunities, the first coming right after Millbrook’s goal as J.T. Brumagim won the ball off a goal kick in the 13th minute. Moving on goal, he had the ball tipped wide by Millbrook goalkeeper Nicholas Catlett as it was headed towards the bottom corner. Millbrook midfield talent Raphael Espinoza looked predatory, consistently finding his forwards with through balls from deep. Also dangerous was Millbrook’s speedy forward Sean Mennard, whose 37th minute shot was saved by Kettle

When you don’t make the routine plays, you don’t have a high percentage of winning,” said Thorpe, whose Cougars nipped James Wood 3-2 in the regular season. Mary Baldwin University-bound senior righthander Colin Palmer pitched five innings and looked composed and focused against a strong Colonels’ lineup. “Palmer was great all year. He was good, we did not make plays behind him. He got the short end of the stick on that one,” said Thorpe.

Kettle Run came alive in the final 20 minutes as passes began to connect. In the 76th minute, Ritter, looking threatening in his attacking midfield role, managed to spin past two Pioneers at the top of the box, but his lofted shot was pushed wide by goalie Catlett for a corner kick. The ensuing corner kick was drilled in across the six-yard box where Brumagim ran onto it and headed it strongly over the bar, ending Kettle Run’s last realistic chance. Millbrook faced undefeated No. 1 seed James Wood (12-0) in Tuesday’s district final, with both advancing to next week’s Class 4 Region C playoffs against Dulles District foes. James Wood beat Millbrook 4-0 and 8-2 in the regular season.

A MEETING OF SPEED AND STRENGTH AT FALCON FIELD Fauquier girls claim district track title as hopes turn to Wednesday’s region meet in Warrenton By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The Fauquier High track program just added another championship trophy to its ever-growing total. The Falcon girls finished with a comfortable 156-103.5 margin over second-place Handley in the June 2 Northwestern District meet at Millbrook. James Wood (92) ws third, followed by Culpeper (91), Kettle Run (85.5), Sherando (55), Millbrook (35) and Liberty (22). The victorious Handley boys also had a large winning margin, outscoring runner-up Fauquier 162-110 with Culpeper (101) third. James Wood (91), Millbrook (63), Sherando (48), Liberty (43) and Kettle Run (41) completed the field. Fauquier coach Quentin Jones admitted the Falcon coaches had differ-

ent ideas on each squad’s prospects at districts. “I think we exceeded expectations,” Jones said happily, noting several individuals recorded personal bests to provide unexpected points. “We felt strongly that the girls were going to do well, that they could win. We had performances from a group of girls, who did better than we thought they might. For the boys, we were surprised with the second-place finish,” Jones admitted, pointing to the team’s depth across events.

Regions Wednesday at FHS

The district’s top six individuals in each event and top three relay teams advanced to the Wednesday’s Region 4C championships at Fauquier. See TRACK, page 25

SOFTBALL, from page 19 After a groundout, Saulsbury scored on Meredith Wayland’s double to the base of the left field fence for an 8-2 margin. Fauquier added a sixth run to close out the scoring. Meghan Harrington finished with 11 strikeouts in the four-hit effort.

Tough end for Kettle Run

The Cougars appeared headed towards a region berth and the championship game, leading James Wood 3-0 in the first inning of their semi. Kettle Run stroked four first-inning hits, including a triple by Jillian Brunton. Kettle Run loaded the bases on two walks and a hit with two outs in the second, and grabbed a 4-0 lead on an infield error on a grounder to third. Kettle Run pitcher Kylie Wilkerson did not allow a hit through five innings, with the Colonels’ third-inning run the result of a walk, wild pitch and an outfield error.

Then came the sixth when James Wood combined five singles, a double and an error for the decisive five-run surge. Cougar junior Emory Shorts added two hits and drove in a run, while Abby Boldt scored twice.

Falcons rout Culpeper

Fauquier took a 17-1 five-inning mercy rule victory over Culpeper in the district quarterfinals. The Falcons downed the Blue Devils, 7-0, to end the regular season May 27 and found themselves in a quick rematch. Leading 3-0 entering the bottom of the third inning, the hosts sent 16 batters to the plate, recording 11 runs on 11 hits. Lovell, Carter. Meghan Harrington and Katie Harrington all had two hits in the explosion. Meghan Harrington added a threerun home run in the fourth and combined with Corum to throw a one-hitter.

Free for all – Upperville Horse Show this week No charge for admission is a special return-toaction gift from the nation’s oldest horse show By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

A special gift to local horse show fans, the June 7 to 13 Upperville Colt and Horse Show will be open to the public and free to attend. The show was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic. Show officials decided to offer free admission as a “thank you” for the patience and continuing support through the last year. The 168th show is the oldest in the nation, founded in 1853. Management reports they’re playing by the most updated Virginia COVID-19 rules, and those recommended by the sanctioning U.S. Equestrian Federation. Masks are “encouraged but not required,” and all spectator vehicles must enter via gate 4 on U.S. Route 50 each day. Classes began Monday morning and continue all week, with classes in up to six rings simultaneously. The showgrounds, on both sides of the highway east of Upperville,

includes two distinct types of competition. The “hunter side” of the show, south of 50, features magnificent ancient oak trees dotting the rings, as well as railside, trees that were no doubt already mature when the first show was held prior to the Civil War. The “jumper side,” or arenas north of 50, are framed by hand-laid dry-stack stone walls, built well before the Civil War. So picturesque is the venue that the show has been voted Virginia Horse Shows Association and National Show Hunter Horse Show of the Year and is a designated World Championship Hunter Rider Show. Upperville was newly recognized as a “green horse show” for the group’s dedication to recycling, using a digital prize list, erosion control, local sourcing, composting and having the grounds in conservation easement. Feature events include the $30,000 Upperville American Stan-

TRACK, from page 21 Regional action begins early, with a 9 a.m. start for field events and noon for the running events. The 3,200-meter run will be run out of order at either 9 or 10 a.m. to avoid the 90-degree temperatures expected for the afternoon. Only the top four individuals and relay teams will qualify for the June 19 Class 4 state meet at Liberty University. Looming as the heavy favorites for boys and girls is defending champion Loudoun Valley. The Viking girls smothered its competition with 256 points with runner-up Dominion far back with 110 in the Dulles District meet. Valley’s boys also won the Dulles District title.

Eagles, Cougars also shine

Fauquier’s girls won five events at the district meet, with Liberty’s boys and Kettle Run girls both win-

ning three. Kettle Run’s boys also added a gold medal. Fauquier placed first in the girls 3,200- and 1,600-meter relays. In the 3,200, Aubrey Fernandez, Kiki Wine, Cassidy Scott and Abby Gray combined to win in nine minutes, 44.46 seconds, a margin of more than 27 seconds. Wine, Fernandez and Scott later combined with Julia Crowther to win the 1,600 relay in 4:11.87. Scott also captured the 800-meter run in 2:19.51. Fauquier’s other gold medals came from Stephanie Robson’s 37-foot, 5.25 inch triple jump and Alyssa Robson in the long jump (17-3.25). Stephanie also was second in the high jump (5-0) and long jump (17-2.25). Other silver medalists were Sydney Trussell in the 100 (13.21) and Fernandez in the 400 (59.28). Falcon Henry Burke was the 300 intermediate hurdle runnerup in 42.25. Teammates Sergio Frias, Day-

BASEBALL, from page 20 sophomore Nicholas Bell recorded four strikeouts in two scoreless innings and slammed the door on Kettle Run’s late hopes. James Wood took a 1-0 lead in the second on a long RBI double by Luke Gross, which scored Jaden Ashby, who singled with two out. The Cougars forged in front in the bottom of the third. Leading off the inning, freshman first baseman Warren Bernard reached first on a third strike wild pitch. After a strikeout, J.J. Mulhern doubled to left center, sending Bernard to third. Dan Dispanet

vonte Hill, Darrien Mascall and Jackson Schreher earlier had earned the 400 relay silver medal (45.58). The Liberty boys continued their season-long dominance in three events. The forsome of Matthew Paramore, Aidan Neidich, Jacob Phelps and Sam Rodman were first first in the 3,200 relay (8:16.90) and the 1,600 relay (3:32.65). Rodman is the district’s 800-meter run champion in 2:03.21. Maya Turner was the top scorer for Liberty’s girls, earning bronze medals in the 100 (13.38) and 400 (1:01.62). Kettle Run’s girls team maintained its season-long improvement with three wins and a trio of silver medals. Colleen Schaner cleared 11-6 to claim the pole vault. Becca Harkness won the 400 meters in 59.23, and Lauren Carpenter sprinted to the 200-meter title in 26.97. Cougar Nia Rogers was second in the shot put (36-9) and the discus (104-8). Harkness, Kendall

grounded to second, but Bernard held, putting the Cougars in danger of not scoring. A subsequent wild pitch allowed Bernard to score to tie it at 1-1, with Mulhern taking third. Jake Ascari then walked and stole second, with Mulhern scoring for a 2-1 lead when the throw to second went into center field. James Wood regained the lead with two runs in the top of the fourth. Leading off, Colin McGuire reached on a high infield pop that fell near the pitcher’s mound. Brody Bower then executed a perfect bunt up the third base line, putting runners on first and second with no out. McGuire soon scored on a double steal as the catcher’s throw went into left field, tying it 2-2. Jaden Ashby then scored on Jacob

Schlueter, Kaiya Stone and Rachel Grant were second in the 3,200 relay (10:11.98). “I was really pleased with our team’s performance,” Cougar coach Myraida Davis said. “Lots of season-bests across the board for us. Everyone worked really hard in this shortened season, and their growth shows that.” Kettle Run’s Alden Williams also had a stellar day, winning the 200 (23.13) after a second place in the 100 (11.46). The regional meet presents new challenges for the local athletes with the addition of the best Dulles District athletes. Fauquier’s Jones stated the widespread hopes for most of the schools. “For both the boys and girls outside of the team scores, it’s how can we improve and how many can we advance. My hopes are to do just a little bit better,” he said.

Roy’s single to third base for a 3-2 lead. James Wood added two more runs in the sixth, again helped by a Kettle Run throwing error. “I thought we competed hard and they gave it their best. We just came up short in that last game,” said Thorpe. “It was a roller coaster season. There was a lot of baseball condensed in a short amount of time.” The Cougars have made regions eight times in the 12 seasons (2020 was not played) since the program debuted in 2009, with two state tournament appearances. Kettle Run has had just one losing season in Thorpe’s tenure, going 7-13 in 2013.

OBITUARIES

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | June 9, 2021

OBITUARIES Joseph (Will) Rogers Joseph (Will) Rogers, 85, of Woodbridge, Virginia, passed away on June 3, 2021, of complications of Parkinson’s Disease, with his family at his bedside. Will was born in Baltimore, Maryland on September 8, 1935 to Joseph Rogers and Mildred Gerbig Rogers. He grew up in the Baltimore area, graduating from Catonsville High School in 1953. He obtained a BS in Accounting from the Baltimore College of Commerce, and had a long career as an accountant/controller. Will was an avid sports enthusiast, playing in local softball leagues until a head injury suffered during a fall in 2018 sidelined him. Will played in softball leagues in Alexandria and later on as many as three separate softball teams in Prince William County each season. He was inducted into the Prince William Softball Hall of Fame in 2009. Will enjoyed travelling and time spent with family, long walks on beaches close to home and on distant shores. Will was preceded in death by his parents, who died when he was a child. Will is survived by his wife, Jane, sons, Michael and Scott, daughters Julie Steiner and Tracey Rogers, stepsons Edward and Jeremy McPike, ten grandsons, five stepgrandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, June 13, 2021 at Mountcastle Turch Funeral Home at 4131 Dale Boulevard, Dale City, Virginia 22193. The family will welcome guests at 2 pm, with the service to begin at 4 pm. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Action in the Community Through Service (ACTS). The family wishes to extend its sincere thanks to the ICU nurses and staff at Sentara Medical Center, Woodbridge, for their professionalism and compassionate care during his final days.

Alice Pauline (Myers) Will “The heart never forgets and it never lets go.” Alice Pauline (Myers) Will of Berryville, Va., passed away in her home on Wednesday, May 26, 2021. She was 85. She entered into the kingdom of God with confidence and acceptance; knowing that her days ahead would be filled with peace and love. Pauline is survived by her three children: Roger A. Will and his wife Carol of Burlington, Kan., Thomas R. Will and his wife Shari of Berryville, Va., and Elaine G. Burrows and her husband Tom of Culpepper, Va.; her granddaughters, Amber Toms and Emily Toms along with their father, Craig Toms, of Aldie Va. She is also survived by her brother Lawrence and sister-in-law Janice Myers, sister June Grimes, sister-in-law Irene Myers, and brother-in-law George Sheppard. Her husband of 59 years, Donald Gene Will precedes her in death, having passed in 2015. Also preceding her: parents Lewis and Grace Myers, brothers William Myers, Leroy Myers, and sisters Gloria Sheppard and Peggy Lee. Following their union in June 1956, Pauline and Donald began their life together in Bealeton, with long-term residences in Hamilton, Orange and Berryville, Va. During her life she raised 3 children, and worked for the telephone company and Loudoun Hospital. Her life was filled with memories of Sunday family dinners, weekends at “the Cottage” in Fleeton Beach, Va., and trips across the country. Pauline will be remembered as a true southern lady who lived with grace and style at all times. She would say that her greatest achievement was her children, and her most prideful accomplishment was contributing to the success of Roger, Tom, and Elaine. The family will receive friends from 10:00 to 11:00 AM, Friday, June 11 at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton, Va. The service will take place at 11:00 AM in the Moser Chapel with internment at the Midland Church of the Brethren Cemetery; all friends are welcomed to attend.

CELEBRATING A LIFE WELL LIVED While funerals are customarily and justifiably mournful affairs, many people are choosing to have their lives celebrated after they die. This celebration is largely initiated by the departed in advance, by making his or her wishes known in a set of instructions. This is one aspect of preplanning that more people are coming to appreciate. Without the deceased giving permission to embark on a decidedly joyous path, the bereaved might find it difficult to celebrate his or her life with wine, food, and song. When it is the last wishes of the deceased, there is little room for misinterpretation. People are increasingly preplanning their funerals to incorporate celebratory behavior as unique as themselves. A funeral service is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you. As you participate in the planning of the funeral service, you help create a meaningful experience for everyone. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, our goal is 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. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton. “If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride, and hug it in my arms.” William Shakespeare
