Lee candidates won’t bar data centers, want Fauquier to stay rural By Shannon Clark

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Daron Lee Culbertson, owner of an agricultural fencing company, and farmer Joseph J. Gray are vying for the Republican nomination to run for the Lee District seat on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. And with no Democrats nor independents yet announced in the race, the June 20 primary could determine who fills the Lee District seat next January. Both Culbertson, 38, and Gray, 35, spoke

with the Fauquier Times about their ideas on data centers, school funding and community improvements. Gray is one of two candidates who could become Fauquier County’s first Black supervisor if elected this year. Independent Raeid Ebrahim, an 18-year-old recent graduate of Fauquier High School, is also vying to make local history with his run in the Center District. See LEE, page 20

Black Lives Matter vigil participants have held their weekly Saturday morning demonstrations at Eva Walker Park since May 13.

By Peter Cary and Jill Palermo Fauquier Times writers

A decision to relocate the weekly Black Lives Matter vigils from Warrenton’s Courthouse Square to Eva Walker Park due to safety concerns will stand, the Warrenton Town Council decided Tuesday. The council voted 4-3 on Tuesday, June 13 to reject an appeal of Warrenton Police Chief Tim Carter’s May 11 decision to move the group’s demonstrations a few blocks away to the town park. The appeal

ganizers appealed to the Warrenton Town Council. Carter, hired in March, is the town’s first Black police chief. During the discussion, one leader of the BLM vigils pushed back. Vinicent Holland, associate pastor of the First Baptist Church of Warrenton, noted there had been no traffic accidents at the square in the three years the vigils have taken place and argued that people jaywalking across Main Street after eating and drinking in local restaurants posed more of an accident threat.

Warrenton officials relocate Black Lives Matter vigil was brought by the six groups who have organized the vigils for the past three years. Carter told the council that even in the absence of the BLM vigils and All Lives Matter counter-protests across the street, the square sees numerous near-accidents. Carter said he, himself, was nearly hit by an auto while walking in a crosswalk there. The issue was before the town council because the groups behind the BLM vigil first appealed Carter’s decision to acting Town Manager Frank Cassidy. When Cassidy upheld Carter’s decision, the or-

School board mulls its 1st pay raise in 20 years Serving on the Fauquier County School Board could pay a bit more starting in 2024. The school board discussed on Monday a proposal to raise the salaries of the five elected members between 25% and 33% when the newly elected board is sworn in early next year. If approved, the raises would be the first for Fauquier County’s school board members in two decades, according to School Board member Donna Grove. During the board’s Monday, June 12 meeting, Grove (Cedar Run) introduced a proposal to raise the school board members’ annual salaries from $12,000 to $16,000; the vice chair’s salary from $13,300 to $17,000; and the chairman’s salary from $14,400 to $18,000. Added together, the annual cost of the raises would be about $18,300. The school board took no vote on the proposal, but Grove said the move would likely be on the agenda for its June 20 meeting.

Fauquier Times names new publisher Longtime journalism innovator to lead Piedmont Media LLC By Shannon Clark

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Scott Elliott, who helped found a novel, nonprofit website devoted to news and analysis about education, has been hired as publisher for the Fauquier Times and Prince William Times. Elliott, 55, has more than 20 years’ experience as a reporter, editor and media organization leader, most recently at Chalkbeat, which provides indepth coverage of education issues that newspapers can no longer afford. Elliott said he was attracted to the new job because of the work the nonprofit Piedmont Journalism Foundation board and its financial supporters had accomplished in saving its hometown newspapers. “What attracted me to this job was the demonstrated success in rallying this community around preserving and nurturing this legacy news organization,” Elliott said. “You’ve got a community that’s already done the hard step of standing up and saying, ‘We want to preserve this,’ and then literally doing the work (and) raising the money to create a nonprofit space.” The Fauquier Times, first published as the Palladium of Liberty in 1817, struggled financially for about 15 years as the advertisement-based revenue model collapsed, and free internet publications grew in popularity. Elliott follows Publisher Catherine Nelson, who has led the news publications for five and a half years, including during the pandemic, which strained resources at the very time readers needed timely information most. She also became president of the Warrenton Rotary Club and is beloved by her staff for her dedication and loyalty to local readers.

Catherine Nelson

Scott Elliott

“Every year of her leadership, Catherine improved the depth and scope of the journalism our publications brought to local readers,” said Jessica Matthews, director and chair of the Piedmont Journalism Foundation, a nonprofit foundation which has owned Piedmont Media LLC since 2019. Piedmont Media operates the two publications. “The Fauquier Times was named by the Virginia Press Association as the best weekly paper in its circulation class in the state each year. At the same time, Ms. Nelson had to cut heavy legacy costs in everything from rent to printing,” Matthews added. “She faced the challenges of the pandemic which sliced into advertising revenues and forced steep layoffs and a rapid transition to remote work. Through it all, she never missed a week’s publication and became an admired member of our local business community. She leaves an impressive legacy.” “Having recently met Scott, I am confident he will take our publications to the next level. He and I are anxious and grateful to have the time to work together,” Nelson said. Elliott will begin working at the papers’ War-

renton office on July 10. Matthews said Elliott was chosen as Nelson’s successor because of his experience in nonprofit news, his leadership skills and his passion for community journalism. “In Scott Elliott, PJF’s Board believes we have found a proven, innovative, high-energy leader to take our news organization to the next levels of achievement in a demanding, rapidly changing business and editorial climate,” Matthews said. Elliott spent much of his reporting career covering education, first for a series of small newspapers in Ohio and then for the Indianapolis Star. While at the Star, he became the nation’s first ever “education reform reporter” in 2011. The role focused on the school board as well as ongoing changes involving testing, school choice and efforts at education reform. After two years with the Indianapolis Star, Elliott helped launch Chalkbeat Indiana, one of eight regional news websites dedicated to education coverage. Elliott spent three years as its Indiana bureau chief and then moved into the role of deputy revenue officer, directing Chalkbeat’s fundraising, development and expansion efforts. Some of Elliott’s ideas for the media organization include exploring a membership model and creating a strategic plan to help prioritize news coverage by a small reporting staff that fits the communities’ needs. The Piedmont Journalism Foundation hopes to raise money to increase the publications’ core staff as Elliott focuses on strengthening their coverage. “There aren’t very many examples of a community that has railed around you to ... save the paper,” Elliott said. “It’s something different than that. It’s more to sustain and nurture the ability to serve the (counties’) information needs.” Reach Shannon Clark at sclark@fauquier.com.

Fauquier could reinstate 48 cut teachers’ aide jobs By Jill Palermo

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

About 48 instructional aide positions slated to be cut next school year due to budget tightening and expiring grant funding could return next school year under a plan the Fauquier County School Board heard for the first time Monday night. The positions at issue include 24 teachers’ aides who worked in first-grade classrooms this past school year and 24 “secondary aides” who worked in various instructional aide positions in Fauquier County’s middle and high schools. Their roles included helping special education students, working in school libraries and monitoring student attendance among other things, according to Deputy Superintendent Major Warner. All 48 jobs were slated to be cut next school year in part because of outgoing Superintendent David Jeck’s plan to provide teachers with 5% raises for the upcoming 2023-24 school year without the extra $4.1 million in local funding he requested – but did not receive -- from the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. Jeck’s plan cut 77.5 positions, including 69 instructional positions, to free up about $6 million for the raises. Among the positions cut were the 24 teachers’ aides at middle and high schools, Warner said. The 24 teachers’ aides working alongside teachers in Fauquier’s first-grade classes this past school year were funded by grants that were set to expire. Warner said the school division recognized the value of the positions and is trying to reinstate those as well. During the school board’s June 12 meeting, Warner told the board about a plan to reinstate most, if not all, of the positions using about $1.3 million in state funding still due to the school division because of a miscalculation in state fund-

The plan also includes some amount of extra local funding from the county supervisors. Warner did not say how much money the county board offered to pitch in toward saving the instructional aide positions but said the offer came during a recent meeting. The supervisors have not yet discussed the issue publicly. Warner said he planned to bring a more detailed funding plan for the positions to the school board’s next meeting on June 20.

Warner said the school division should have more information about the state budget, which has not yet been finalized, and the effort to restore promised state funding lost due to the calculation error in the coming weeks. “We believe we’ve identified a strategy for securing the secondary (instructional aides) that were cut in the budget and bringing those back, and we are hopeful and cautiously optimistic that we’ll also be able to bring back a portion, if not all, of the first-grade (instructional aides),” Warner said.

Grove noted that the school board has discussed raising school board salaries in previous election years but haven’t done so since 2003. She and other school board members noted that the work of school board has become more time-consuming and complicated over the past 20 years.

School Board member Duke Bland (Marshall). School Board member Susan Pauling (Center) said its “never a good time” for the school board to consider raises and noted that she personally would like to see the school division reinstate the 48 instructional aides that were eliminated for next school year due to budget cuts and expiring grant funding before the school board grants itself a raise. “I think it’s important our class-

June 20 primary: Russet, Cummings talk guns, ballot choices data centers ahead of June 20 primary By Shannon Clark

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Zach Cummings said he’d support a law to hold parents responsible if their children get access to their guns. His opponent Russet Perry said she’d strengthen Virginia’s “red flag law,” which allows residents or police to ask a judge to remove guns from people deemed a danger to themselves or others. Both candidates said they’d refuse campaign contributions from Dominion Energy and expressed concern about data centers’ impacts on the environment. But both said the decision on where to site data centers should remain with local governments. Those were among the issues Cummings, a Leesburg Town Councilman and real estate agent, and Perry, a former Loudoun County prosecutor, discussed during a Wednesday, June 7 candidate forum at the Marshall Community Center. Cummings, 40, and Perry, 39, are vying in the June 20 primary for the Democratic nomination to run for state Senate’s 31st District seat in November. The district now includes parts of Fauquier and Loudoun counties.

Russet Perry, left, and Zach Cummings, right, are vying for the Democratic nomination in the 31st state Senate District. tion regarding gun reform and gun safety, both candidates said they would support an “assault weapon ban” in Virginia. The candidates were also asked if they support holding parents legally responsible for not securely storing their guns. “I do think parents should be held responsible because it is a responsibility to own a gun,” Cummings said. Cummings, who is endorsed by Everytown for Gun Safety, went on to say that keeping guns away from children helps to reduce the risk of suicide. Perry said she was down the street from the Richmond mass shooting that occurred outside a high school graduation on Tuesday, June 6. “The shooting at a high school graduation, which should be a celebration, was lost in a moment by someone coming in and killing two people and injuring numerous others,” Perry said.

“That is America today.” Perry did not directly address if she agrees with holding parents accountable for unsecure gun safety storage but said one of her initiatives, if elected, would be to strengthen Virginia’s red flag gun laws to “operate better to ensure those suffering from mental health do not have access to guns.” Virginia has a child access prevention law that prohibits any person from leaving a loaded, unsecured firearm accessible to “endanger the life or limb of a child under 14,” according to Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. But the state does not have any laws requiring firearms to be stored in a specific manner. In response to a question about the impacts of data centers, Perry said that while data centers in Loudoun County have generated significant local tax revenue, the state needs to play a role in watching over their economic and environmental impacts. “I think we’re also going to have to move out and (vary) our tax base and ensure our revenue base and make sure that we have a lot of options, that we are not relying on just one thing,” Perry said. “I think another thing we can look at is to try and ensure to keep our rural areas rural.” Cummings said he wants to work with state and local officials to hold data centers accountable for the potential environmental effects they cause.

On primary election day June 20, Fauquier County residents who live four voting precincts in the Marshall District will have to choose between voting in the Democratic primary for the 31st District state Senate seat or the Republican primary for the Marshall District seat on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. That’s because while voters do not register according to political party in Virginia and can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary, they cannot vote in both. The four precincts in the Marshall District that overlap with the 31st state Senate District include: • Salem, which votes at Marshall Middle School; • Leeds, which votes at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Delaplane; • Waterloo, which votes at Fauquier High School; and • Spring Valley, which votes at Brumfield Elementary School.

Cummings said he also wants to protect the control of local elected officials to make decisions on data centers. “I look forward to working with our local elected officials at all levels from Richmond to work together to push back against these multibillion, trillion-dollar corporations,” Cummings said. “And to get these companies to understand that it’s our environment.” Reach Shannon Clark at sclark@ fauquier.com.

Warrenton officials BLM appeal relocate Black Lives Matter vigil

Semple, Heather Sutphin and Jay Heroux voted against it.

BLM, from page 1 Holland also said the decision to relocate the BLM demonstrators gave the counter-protesters what they wanted: to rid Courthouse Square of the weekly vigils. “Their whole purpose was to make the vigil go away,” he said. Holland further said the whole point of the weekly Saturday morning vigils was to make people feel uncomfortable enough to bring about change in Warrenton. “My son and his wife don’t feel safe coming into Warrenton,” he said, explaining that his son is Black and his wife is white. In addressing the council, Carter said the BLM participants were generally well-behaved and did not venture in the streets or block sidewalks. Carter said his main concern was that drivers entering the square would be distracted by the vigil, and that the situation was made worse by the presence of the All Lives Matter counter-protesters across the street. “I made a decision that this was not a safe intersection for these two groups to be there,” he said. Questioned by Councilman Bill Semple, Carter said the “majority” of incidents that caused distractions during the protests “came from the counter-demonstration group.” A motion to table the matter for a month was defeated. Council members Paul Mooney, Brett Hamby, David McGuire and James Hartman voted to support the chief’s decision, while council members

In a written appeal before the town council’s vote, Scott Christian, a member of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy and a chief organizer of the weekly vigils, contended the town’s actions have been both confusing and “arbitrary,” given that town officials have given different reasons for relocating the vigil. Christian said the vigil organizers were initially told that town officials were concerned about someone driving a car onto Courthouse Square and injuring vigil participants. But in later meetings with Cassidy, general traffic safety concerns were the focus, Christian said. Also, the town’s decision coincided with another permit application submitted by Miller Carpets, which reserved Courthouse Square from 9 a.m. to noon for seven consecutive Saturdays starting May 11 to honor first responders. Miller Carpets is located across the street from Courthouse Square at the corner of Main Street and Alexandria Pike. Miller Carpets’ application, submitted by owner Ike Miller, was delivered the day before Christian submitted his application to renew the BLM permit to use Courthouse Square, Christian said. Christian said he was initially told by Town of Warrenton staff that the BLM vigil lost access to Courthouse Square because of Miller Carpets’ application. Asked about Miller Carpets’ application, Cassidy told the Fauquier Times it came at a time when town officials “grew increasingly concerned about the Courthouse Square location due to the dangers to vehicles and pedestrians.” Cassidy did not say, however, that Miller Carpets’ application had been revoked due to safety concerns. Miller Carpets has not held any demonstrations since reserving Courthouse Square, Miller said in an interview earlier this week.

Miller said it was his “full intention” of holding something “positive and non-controversial in Courthouse Square” but later decided not to add to the safety issues on the corner. Both Christian and White said they have seen the fruits of the weekly BLM vigils in the number of residents who have expressed an interest in knowing more about the history of the Black community in Fauquier County. White said more people have visited the AAHA to view the documentation and artifacts they have accumulated over the years to document Black history in Fauquier. Christian said membership in the local NAACP has jumped by about 30% since the vigils began. White also said she believes Black residents have come to feel more comfortable and welcome in town since the vigils began. “People tend to go to things where they are welcome, where they are accepted,” White said. “I see more people coming together, and that’s good.” Christian said the groups behind the BLM vigils might consider ending their demonstrations altogether if town or county officials committed to creating a commission to examine the history of Black residents in Fauquier and the challenges they continue to face because of long-term and systemic disadvantages. “Let’s agree to create a commission, set some targets, fund it, and let’s look into the Black lives in this county,” Christian said. “We wouldn’t need to be down there every Saturday morning if they would create a commission to investigate this and publish what they find.” Miller, for his part, said he could get behind that idea “and would be the first person to volunteer for that commission.” “I’d be happy to sit on that board and join them. I have no problem with that,” Miller said. “My only problem is public safety.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

From firefly to downward dog Local author’s ‘Wild Asana’ explores the human-animal connection behind yoga poses

‘Wild Asana’ release party

What: A release party for “Wild Asana,” a “nature memoir” written by Open Book employee Alison Zak. Where: The Open Book, 104 Main St., Warrenton When: Tuesday, June 27 at 6 p.m. Author Alison Zak and Cammie Fuller, the owner of The Open Book, will host a conversation before Zak delivers a reading and engages with the audience in a Q&A. The event is free and open to the public.

By Ashley Simpson

Special to the Fauquier Times

Even before Alison Zak pitched the idea for her book, “Wild Asana,” to her Warrenton-based writing group, she had an inkling that she had a gem on her hands: a “nature memoir” based on some of the animals that inspire yoga poses. The project combines some of her biggest passions -- animals, yoga and writing – and it came together in something unlike anything she had seen in the literary market. It was her writing group’s enthusiastic response that convinced Zak to hit pause on an already-in-progress manuscript and start writing “Wild Asana.” Now, nearly two years since the idea was born, “Wild Asana” has been published by North Atlantic Books. Penguin Random House will officially launch the book’s distribution on Tuesday, June 27. “I remember sharing the idea, and everyone in the writing group was really on board, saying that this is what the book world was lacking,” Zak said.“That validation is what really made me take it seriously.” Zak said working at The Open Book for the last three years has given her a keen understanding of books in demand as well as the kind of literature that simply isn’t out there for readers. And as an avid reader, committed yogi (and certified teacher) and animal expert, Zak identified a very specific gap she could passionately fill. “In addition to writing, reading and yoga, a big part of my life is animals and wildlife,” Zak said. “I have a master’s degree in anthropology, and for years I studied the interaction between humans and other animals. My work with animals and love for them inspires my yoga practice – and it goes far beyond that. What inspired this book was how I started to think about how and why a lot of the most common yoga poses are named after animals. I began to think about what it really means when we are putting our bodies into these shapes that mimic other animals.” “I call the book a genre blend – a nature memoir,” Zak added, explaining that “Wild Asana” is a book of 12 essays, each focusing on a different yoga pose and the animal after which it is named. The book is divided into 12 chapters. “A lot of my own personal stories are blended into the book, too – from travels from when I’ve gone to other places to study nature and wildlife. There is also a lot of information on each species that I learned from additional research. Reflections of my own experiences, combined with extensive research on yoga and animals and their habitats tie everything together.” At the end of each essay – or chapter – Zak connects the content to the relevant yoga pose. Even though yoga is at the core (no pun intended) of the book, you don’t have to be a yogi of any level to understand or enjoy “Wild Asana.” “The book comes together to show readers how they can use their yoga practice to connect with nature,” Zak said. “That animal perspective makes the book a more universal read. While yoga is a theme, I tried to make it more broad. There are also practices at the end of each chapter – how to apply ideas from the chapters to your own life – and they are not always yoga related.”

Alison Zak. Zak said she also wrote “Wild Asana” so that it is fit for different styles of reading. “Each chapter can stand alone,” Zak said. “You don’t have to read it cover to cover. It is a book you can read here and there.” Some of the poses covered in the book are Downward Facing Dog, Scorpion, Camel, Firefly and Cat. “The whole point of the book, in a philosophical sense, is to demonstrate that we are animals ourselves, and we aren’t separate from a snake or a scorpion or a fish,” Zak said. “After writing this book, I feel even more connected with the world at large when I’m practicing yoga. It has reminded me even more that we are part of the environment just as much as the animals we mimic in these yoga poses are.” Cammie Fuller, owner of The Open Book, said she expects that “Wild Asana” will have a fantastic reception among readers everywhere it is released, which will span far beyond The Open Book’s clientele. “I anticipate that ‘Wild Asana’ will see great success,” Fuller said. “I adore this book. Truly. It is achingly intelligent, filled with thought-provoking passages that will inspire how you think about the natural world.” “I’m not alone with my reactions to the book, either,” Fuller added. “This will also be a national release by a great publisher, North Atlantic Books, distributed by publishing giant, Penguin Random House. North Atlantic has made this release one of its summer priority titles, which means it will show up in the catalogs of book buyers across the country.” While Zak learned more about each of the animal species that she researched and wrote about in “Wild Asana,” she said that her overall takeaway is that animals are always doing amazing – even unthinkable – things. “Nothing surprises me about animals,” she said. “What I mean by that is, animals are so much more than we think they are. When I learned that a scorpion cares for its babies – scorplings – and carries

them on its back to find them the perfect habitat, I was touched, but not surprised. Even species that are traditionally harder to connect with – like scorpions – are like us in more ways than we realize. The more we learn, the more we can connect.” Zak said that while she appreciated the book writing process, the rewarding journey did not come without frustrations. “For example, I had a lot of challenges with the essay on camels,” she explained. “I would just rewrite it and rewrite it, and my editor came back multiple times saying something was missing. Then, it occurred to me that the reason I was struggling to connect with camels is because all of my sources were about how camels have been useful to people. I couldn’t find sources written in English about camels that had anything to do with them on their own. It took me wrestling with this chapter for that to dawn on me – that I had limited ways to feel connected with these animals because I had a hard time getting a sense of their own story.” Zak is the first staff member of The Open Book to have a published title, and Fuller said she couldn’t be more proud. Fuller said she also expects that “Wild Asana” will inspire more local writers to realize their publishing dreams. “Seeing Alison work so hard on this book and learn the industry is truly inspiring,” Fuller said. “She is a dedicated, hard-working professional who brings out the best in those around her. While she is the first published author who works at our store, I don’t expect she will be the last.” Reading and writing – which Zak believes naturally go hand-in-hand – have always been an integral part of the newly-minted author’s life. Writing has consistently been a way for Zak to process her thoughts on the world. Whether they have dreams of being a published book author or not, Zak encourages everyone to try a hand at writing – no matter what words, or in what form, they end up on a page. “Writing is thinking, and writing is healing,” Zak said. “I had to write this book to know how I really feel about my connection with animals. You can take publishing very seriously like I did, or you can also just let yourself write for you. I know there are different ways we understand life, and writing might not be the best way for everyone to process things. Still, I think it may be a way for more people than they realize. Just pick up a pen and put it to paper and see what happens.” To learn more about “Wild Asana,” visit https://alisonzak.com. Reach Ashley Simpson at ashleycsimpson@ gmail.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Amazon’s site development plan is “not approved” The Warrenton town staff recently gave the red light to Amazon’s proposed site development plan (SDP) for the Blackwell Road data center. Their thorough review, which consolidated comments from numerous departments and agencies, unearthed over 250 blunders, oversights and pending tasks. The critical strike against Amazon’s SDP was the inability to meet vital conditions of the special use permit and provide the required documentation. The company fell short on noise regulation, an area of immense public concern. Despite a slim majority of the town council’s willingness to kick the noise can down the road, Amazon’s apathy remained glaringly evident. They failed to furnish any information about noise-emitting equipment and proposed no noise mitigation measures, contradicting SUP conditions #2 and #6(d). Amazon’s neglect of this crucial matter demands increased oversight and diligence from the staff. Moreover, Amazon’s SDP disclosed plans for an electric substation, violating SUP condition #4. It also showed no underground electrical CALENDAR, from page 12 Denied-The Tragic Story of Harris Neck, Georgia,” a small Gullah community, the ongoing injustices of the federal government and the people’s continuing fight for the return of their land.

lines running from the power source to the facility, a requirement under SUP condition #5. Amazon’s lighting plan, far from being clear and professional, was deemed “illegible.” These major gaps reveal a worsening disregard for town staff and residents. Amazon’s treatment of tree preservation also comes under fire. Several departments criticized their approach to demarcating tree clearance boundaries and were confused about why the substation area was cleared. Amazon must explain its past tree removal practices: Did they clear to avoid endangered species act compliance? In addition, Amazon is still required to submit a tree preservation plan, although it has already cleared nearly nine acres of forest, which shielded the Oak Springs community from noise and visual disruptions. These actions underscore Amazon’s propensity to sidestep local rules and reveal a troubling and deep-seated indifference toward local communities. Additional issues littered Amazon’s SDP. These include violations of building height restrictions, inappropriate fencing heights and

a lack of to-scale elevations. Its plan failed to integrate sidewalks with existing networks and address potential traffic impacts. The confidential SDP drawings inadequately addressed concerns about grading and possible blasting. A required multi-phase erosion control (EC) plan was missing, raising alarm bells about stormwater runoff into Cedar Run. As a result, the staff now demands a stormwater pollution prevention plan before site plan approval. Let’s be clear, most of these issues should have surfaced during that process and prior to the approval of the SUP. However, a hasty decision by a narrow majority of the town council to disregard the Warrenton Planning Commission’s recommendation to deny the SUP and push for a council vote was gravely misguided. As a result, the SDP process will now unnecessarily stretch staff resources and community patience in the many months ahead.

SEABORN IS 2023 FAUQUIER TIMES WAKEFIELD BOYS ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Impressive Jess shined on land and water for Owls By Billy Marin

Year for 2023. Seaborn’s four-year soccer career included two as a captain and culminated in a run to the Division III state championship game in the fall of his senior year. The match against Walshingham Academy ended in a 3-2 loss, but Seaborn’s efforts kept the Owls in the match at Richmond City stadium. “It was an exciting game, and it was disappointing to lose it, but Jess along with a few other seniors were the key to that game to keep us in it,” Wakefield soccer coach Grant Massey said. While Wakefield fell just short, their season left many positive memories. A victory over perennial rival Highland in Seaborn’s senior year was a particularly vivid moment.

The game provided a perfect example of Seaborn’s versatility and selflessness. Starting the game as a striker, Seaborn grabbed the needed goal, but for the second half, he was moved back to defender to organize the Owls’ backline. “He shot it far post, upper 90. It was just unstoppable because he hit it so pure and clean. It was one of those goals that sticks out as one you always remember,” Massey said. “I scored an absolute banger. After that goal, it was a defensive battle, but we held on and it was the best feeling ever. Honestly, my favorite soccer game I’ve ever played,” Seaborn said. “Over his four years, he played every position other than goalkeeper.

‘WE NEED TO BRING THIS TO CULPEPER’

The Culpeper Cavaliers (3-6) are the newest team in the Valley Baseball League, which is comprised of 12 teams throughout the Shenandoah Valley.

Featuring 4 former Highland stars, Culpeper Cavaliers make their Valley Baseball League debut By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

College baseball is traditionally played in the spring, but its players don’t stop when other students disperse for the summer. The Valley Baseball League is a summer collegiate league with teams throughout the Shenandoah Valley, and this year, a new team is in the mix. The Culpeper Cavaliers are the 12th and newest member of the VBL, and with players coming from as far as Arizona and New York, the team includes a few familiar faces. Former Highland baseball stars Jackson Gimbel, Tyler Kaltreider, Connor McAuley and George Rizzo

return to the area to round out a Cavalier squad making their debut in the VBL. “There’s been a lot of excitement. (The team’s) been very well received, and I think we got a really good squad that’s going to do really well,” founder and president Troy Ralston said. Ralston has spent the past five years working as an assistant for the Culpeper County High varsity baseball team under Brandon Mack, who’s also the Cavaliers’ head coach.

Before taking the reins of the Cavaliers’ dugout for their inaugural season, Mack was an assistant for the VBL’s Purcellville Cannons where he sparked Ralston’s idea of creating a team, “A couple of years ago, I went to check out one of (Mack’s) games when Purcellville was playing at New Market. The whole time I was sitting there watching that game, I just kept thinking to myself, ‘We need to bring this to Culpepper,’” said Ralston.

In the two years since, Ralston worked diligently to bring the Cavaliers to life. He proposed the idea to the Valley Baseball League Board in March 2022 after nearly a year of research and was unanimously approved, thus birthing the Cavaliers. The Cavalier nickname was chosen to honor the largest calvary battle fought in North America in the Battle of Brandy Station on June 9, 1863. See CULPEPER, page 21

The Wakefield team had graduated eleven seniors, leaving the program struggling to field a team. “I made a deal with all my lacrosse friends that if they played soccer. I’d play lacrosse. It sounds bad, but hitting people seemed really fun,” Seaborn said. The soccer star was totally green in lacrosse, but that did not affect his attitude, or ability to contribute to the team. “He came in and was really a sponge for knowledge. He asked a lot of questions, he understood a lot of the movement on the field from soccer,” Valandra said. Seaborn’s positive attitude made him a solid player and even better teammate: “He’s a humble, yet confident young man. He knew he wasn’t going to be a star player who could score ten goals, but he did what was expected of him, played good defense, moved the ball, and he said ‘I’m going to go all out and show what I can do, but I’m not going to pretend I’m something I’m not.’” Although he came in without experience, Seaborn quickly became a team leader.

Ward wins $226K Upperville Jumper Classic Richest sporting event in Fauquier County headlines 170th annual show By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Two-time Olympic gold medalist McLain Ward showcased a prospect for the Paris Olympics at the 170th Upperville Colt and Horse Show, posting double-clear rounds over challenging Nick Granat-designed courses to win the $226,000 international jumper classic with Quimi Del Maset. Sunday’s class, rated four stars by the international equestrian federation, is the richest competition contested in Fauquier County. The Upperville show is held at Grafton and Salem farms, on both sides of U.S. Route 50 east of town at the northern edge of Fauquier. Thirty horse and rider pairs representing nine nations competed in the headliner of the weeklong event, with five clear in the 17-effort first round to advance to the timed jumpoff. Handy turning made the difference, Ward said of his key to victory in 37.7 seconds – almost a full second faster in the eight-effort jumpoff than Canada’s Tiffany Foster, next best with her 2022 World Championship mount, Figor, in 38.31. “We acquired him at the end of 2022,” Ward said of finding Quimi Del Maset, 9, in South America last year for owner syndicate Sport Four USA. “I’m very lucky to be looking at him for the Olympics next year in Paris. “I think we have something special” in the talented bay that has now won four of five jumper classics at Upperville’s 1.55 meter level. His sire, Quasimodo Z, is a son of top show jumper and prolific producer Quidan de Revel. With prior rider, Daniel Bedoya of Bolivia, Quimi Del Maset finished sixth in the South American Games last summer in Paraguay. Sunday was Ward’s fifth win in the Upperville jumper classic. “It’s always very special,” Ward said of returning to the historic show, which

Tight turns between jumps made the winning difference, according to McLain Ward. Quimi Del Maset provided Ward his fifth Upperville jumper classic victory in Sunday’s Upperville Colt and Horse Show headliner. he’s attended since he was a boy traveling with his father, international show jumper Barney Ward. “We used to drive down here (from their Brewster, New York base). The classic used to (be held on) that parking lot behind us here,” he gestured to a grassy hillside now used for patron parking beside the state-of-the-art grand prix arena installed a decade ago. “There’s so much tradition. The (local) community has worked very hard to keep something that we don’t see that much anymore – open space and connection to agriculture and animals. “I have some great memories here.” Earlier in the week, Ward won the $30,000 American Standard grand prix with Catoki, his second-straight win in the class. Ward won team gold at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and 2008 in Beijing, team silver in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro and 2020 in Tokyo.

A new firepit takes center stage in a local customer’s backyard. SUBMITTED

Gathering around the firepit A new firepit can be the center of backyard fun, relaxation By Lisa Jordan

Special to the Fauquier Times

There are so many advantages of having a fire pit. When you’ve had a rough day and need to take a break, grab your favorite drink and then go out to your backyard fire pit and just relax. Gathering with friends or family around a backyard fire pit helps melt away the stress of everyday hustle and bustle. Also, it offers a nice setting to enjoy a weenie or marshmallow roast with your loved ones. Do you dream of having a fire pit in your backyard? Well, you don’t have to dream any more. Here LEE, from page 1 Gray said he was not aware that Fauquier County had not yet elected a Black supervisor and said it was not a factor in his decision to run. Instead, he said, issues such as retaining the rural character of the county, supporting small businesses and reducing taxes, if possible, are at the forefront of his campaign. A lifelong Remington resident and Liberty High School graduate, Gray grew up on a dairy farm where he said he gained a passion for farming and the “small-town way of life.” “It’s been a lifelong goal of mine (to run for elected office),” Gray said. “I want to create fairness and transparency for residents and make sure they are taxed fairly, and if possible, lower (taxes). I also want to ensure that we have adequate public services and reduce our urban sprawl.”

The next time you come home all stressed out, just think about how nice it would be to have a fire pit in your backyard.

Gray owns farms in both Fauquier and Culpeper counties and is an associate director of the John Marshall Soil & Water Conservation District board.

Gray on data centers

While his platform is focused on protecting farmland from being overrun by solar farms and data centers, Gray told the Fauquier Times that data centers have their place in the county. But if elected, he said he would fight to protect the Lee District from becoming a “dumping ground” for data centers and other industrial development. “So many landowners are getting paid (to use their land) for potential solar farm studies,” Gray said. “(The solar farms) take away from the rural landscape that we all love.”

If elected, Gray said he’d like to help provide more opportunities for residents and children in the Lee District. “It’s not fun wanting to go to dinner and having to leave our district to go out and have fun,” Gray said. “If funds are available, I think having a community center in our district would be great.”

Culbertson on data centers

Raised in Remington, Culbertson graduated from Liberty High School and earned his bachelor’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in sports management. After college, Culbertson started his business doing farm work around the county before focusing on agriculture fencing and his small business, Rural Restoration. Culbertson’s first step into politics began through his time on Fauquier County’s Purchase of Development Rights committee, on which he has served for the past seven years. He decided to run for the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors after learning Chris Butler, the incumbent Lee District supervisor and board chairman, announced he wouldn’t run for re-election. Culbertson said he recognizes that Fauquier County has become attractive to data center developers and said each application should be evaluated on a “case-by-case basis.” Culbertson said he is not against all data centers and sees the advantages in the tax revenue they bring.

“My stance on it is, Northern Virginia is coming; it is coming like a train, and anybody who thinks you can just stand there and say ‘No, no, no,’ and they’re going to leapfrog all around us, it’s just not realistic,” Culbertson said. “I think if you can ... do it the right way and really plan for the future, we can still keep our ... rural integrity. There’s got to be a middle ground.”

On school funding

Culbertson said Fauquier County Public Schools need to stay competitive, and that supervisors need to find a way to keep “good teachers” in Fauquier. While doing so, Culbertson said supervisors need to find other sources of tax revenue for school funding beyond raising taxes on individuals and small businesses. Culbertson’s platform also focuses on what he calls “community living.” Influenced by his grandfather who was involved in local community meetings and service, Culbertson says he is hoping to bring more events to the Lee District and hopes to use his degree in sports management to support opportunities for the arts, music and sports in the district. “I have a lady that’s been helping with the campaign, and she has to drive her son to Marshall to go play (youth) football because we don’t have a team in Bealeton or Remington,” Culbertson said. “When you go from one end of the county to another, it’s a haul.” “I think as a leadership role in your community, you can offer suggestions and put the right people in place to get the right help,” Culbertson said.

in the organization had Cavaliers open 3-6 someone some sort of relationship with the

program (they came from).” With the other 11 teams playing in Charlottesville, Covington, Front Royal, Harrisonburg, New Market, Purcellville, Staunton, Strasburg, Waynesboro, Winchester and Woodstock, the VBL kicked off its season on June 1. Through nine games, the Cavaliers are 3-6. The 37-man roster consists of current college players across all three divisions of NCAA baseball, including the four Highland alums. Kaltreider, A Warrenton native, is a rising junior at Virginia Military Institute and has started two games on the mound so far. Gimbel, a rising sophomore at Christopher Newport University, has pitched in two games out of the bullpen, while McAuley, a Randolph-Macon sophomore, is another pitching option for the Cavaliers. Rizzo, a sophomore outfielder at the University of Mary Washington, is another Warrenton native. But after sustaining a hand injury that required surgery, Rizzo is expected to miss at least half the season. As Highland contends for state titles and sends players to play in college annually, Ralston said he expects the Cavaliers to feature former Hawks year in and year out. “They have a great program,” he said. “A lot of their players do go on to play college baseball, so having that relationship with them is definitely an advantage for us.”

CULPEPER, from page 17 In the process of joining the VBL, Ralston founded the non-profit Culpeper Community Baseball, Inc., the Cavaliers’ parent company. While Culpeper Community Baseball’s main focus is running the team, their mission also includes fostering and promoting youth baseball and softball in Culpeper and the surrounding area. Once the team was approved by the board, “that’s when the real work began,” Ralston said. The Cavaliers raised funding through donations, sponsorship sales and a grant from the PATH Foundation; recruited and arranged host families for the players; and renovated the Culpeper County High baseball field, their home stadium. The renovations included expanding the dugouts, adding spectator seating and planting new turf. Ralston said recruiting for each season begins up to 10 months in advance, in late summer or early fall of the previous year, and is heavily reliant upon relationships they have with college coaches around the country. “Like any other business, you’re generally more successful if you have a foot in the door, if you already have a relationship,” said Ralston. “Most of the players that are on the team, it’s because me or

Making waves in the pool SEABORN, from page 18

Taking the plunge

Seaborn decided he was ready for a new challenge his senior year and heeded a call from his math teacher, Robert Lerch, who needed swimmers. “I was like ‘Hey, you know I swam when I was a kid. I guess I’ll give it a try.’ And I actually didn’t do too badly,” Seaborn said. Said Lerch, “Once he joined the swim team, he did phenomenally. He picked up all the old skills he had learned when he was a little kid. He was able to claim first place in his first meet in the 100-meter breaststroke, and he immediately told me ‘Coach Bobby, I think I can go to states in some of these events!’” While Seaborn ultimately fell short of reaching that goal, he won the conference championship in the 100-meter breaststroke and took third in the 50-freestyle. Lerch said Seaborn wanted to set a team record and see his name on the record board that hangs up in the gym. He saw that possibility in the 500-freestyle. Seaborn was not a natural distance swimmer, but with a target in front of him, he built up his stamina to achieve that goal. “Our record is 6:32, and he came in at 6:35, just short,” said Lerch. “But in the end, he was still all smiles, and I think that’s the biggest thing I can say about Jess. Even when he made those lofty goals for himself and fell just a touch short, he was never a

person to beat himself up. “He told me after the race, ‘I’ll get it next time, Mr. Lerch!’” That anecdote offered an insight into Seaborn’s desire to make an impact. “Jess does not shy away from a challenge, he does not look at an obstacle and run in the opposite direction, and as I mentioned before, he knows that failure is a possibility because he has such great hopes for himself. But he knows the end, even if he doesn’t achieve those lofty goals, he will still make great memories, made friends and have a wonderful time,” Lerch said.

Seaborn, the early days

His parents described how from the time he was a toddler, Jess would watch older brother Jackson at soccer practice and want to compete with him in the backyard alongside their younger sister Sadie. “They’d be shooting against each other, seeing how many juggles they could get,” Alison Seaborn said. “He was wanting to keep up with his older brother,” she added. “He learned a lot from his brother, not just on the field but he saw how his brother was a leader as well, especially at Wakefield,” said Donald Seaborn Jackson was a technical midfielder, standing 5-foot-7, a dramatic contrast with the 6-3 Jess, who used his physicality and powerful shot to dominate the opposition. Next year, the Seaborn brothers will meet up again at Bucknell, where the younger will look to study economics and join his older brother once more on the club soccer field.

Robert Dennis Coleman Robert (Bob) Dennis Coleman, 76, of Warrenton passed away unexpectedly in Ireland on May 26, 2023. Born November 26, 1946 in Medford, MA to Cornelius Raymond and Rita Conley Coleman, Bob loved to learn. This passion led him in several directions in his life, professionally–Bob had a long and successful career as an environmental engineer–and personally. In retirement, Bob earned his second master’s degree at the University of Virginia, majoring in Art History and Archeology, and he continued to audit courses at George Mason University. He traveled extensively, but no trips captured his imagination more than those that included Roman ruins. Bob also loved books and was an insatiable reader of science fiction and mystery novels. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Jean Urban Coleman; children Sean Coleman (and wife Rebecca), Megan Coleman (and husband Mark) and Timothy Coleman (and wife Annabel); siblings Judith Coleman, William Coleman, Janice Coleman, Brian Coleman, and Joanne ( Joni) Coleman; in addition to his beloved grandchildren Finnian, Lily, Stephen, and Matthew Coleman to whom he was affectionately known as Nonno.

Places of Worship DIFFERENT HEADSTONE STYLES Headstones—also called tombstones, monuments, gravestones, or grave markers—are used to mark and personalize a loved one’s final resting place. Typically made of granite or marble, they usually list the person’s birth and death dates, and may include personalized poems, epitaphs, and other information about the deceased. Upright headstones have the most traditional design and consist of a base and a tablet. Slant headstones are similar, except the front of the tablet is slanted, giving the base a stockier shape. Flat headstones are level with the ground and rectangular in shape. Bevel headstones are nearly flat with a slight slant. Bench headstones give visitors a place to sit, spend time, and reflect, and they come in several different styles. MOSER FUNERAL HOME operates BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, centrally located in Fauquier County, just three miles from Old Town Warrenton. Family lots, single spaces and cremation spaces are all available. Memorials at Bright View are mostly bronze plaques with a vase on a granite base. One section allows upright granite markers. If you are interested in Bright View Cemetery, please call the office located at the funeral home on 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton.

Mary Custis deButts Spencer

Arthur Huntington Nash

Upperville — Mary Custis deButts Spencer, (“Molly”), of Upperville, VA, passed away on Thursday, June 8, 2023 at the age of 90. Molly was born on June 20, 1932 in Washington, D.C. to Mary Custis Lee deButts and William Hunter deButts. A graduate of Foxcroft School, she attended Wellesley College, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Botany. After working in cancer research in Washington, D.C., she then married the love of her life, Frederick L. Spencer, Jr., in June 1955. The young couple lived in Everett, Washington, Richmond, Virginia, and Palm Beach, Florida before settling in Upperville, Virginia to live amongst family and raise their three daughters. Molly found her true calling soon thereafter, as a Kindergarten teacher at the Hill School in nearby Middleburg. She had a rewarding career of 31 years at Hill until her retirement in 2004, and was honored with the title of Faculty Emeritus. Molly was a talented educator with the unique ability to understand how children saw the world. She was passionate about her work as a teacher and as a mother, and excelled at both. Gifted with a wonderful sense of humor and impeccable comic timing, she embodied the term ‘the glass is half full.’ Her self-deprecating nature sometimes belied her formidable intellect and keen powers of observation. Whether it was in the lab, the classroom, or identifying various plant and animal species on walks in her beloved Virginia Piedmont, she missed nothing. As many can attest, Molly’s life with her husband Fred was never dull, and their chemistry, described by some as ‘electric’, was evident. She was undoubtedly the voice of reason, but nonetheless game for any adventure that Fred proposed (for example, taking family trips in a decrepit school bus of questionable pedigree that Fred had renovated into a camper and painted purple). By necessity, she had nerves of steel and the wherewithal to focus on what was important. After retiring from teaching, she found great joy in caring for and spending time with her grandchildren. She deeply cherished her community of friends, work colleagues, and especially her extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews, both ‘inlaws’ and ‘outlaws’ alike. In retirement, Molly could often be found exploring her love of art and music with Fred, whether it was painting al fresco in the countryside or singing with gusto in the choir at Trinity Episcopal Church. Molly also served for 25 years on the Board of Directors at Stratford Hall Historic Preserve in Stratford, Virginia before stepping down in 2007. Molly is predeceased by her husband and survived by her brothers, Robert E. L. deButts and William H. deButts, her daughters, Mary Custis Glover, Martha Spencer Burke, and Anne Spencer Zapletal, her grandchildren, John Spencer Glover, Amelia Glover Therattil, Leland Hunter Burke, Ellen Mason Burke, Charlotte Custis Zapletal, and Virginia Spencer Zapletal, as well as her great-grandsons Cameron Glover Therattil and Henry Spencer Therattil. A memorial service and celebration of life is planned for Friday, September 1, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, donations in Molly’s memory may be made to The Hill School in Middleburg, Virginia at https:// www.givecampus.com/campaigns/8151/donations/new

April 9, 1944 – June 8, 2023

Arthur Huntington Nash was born on Easter Sunday, 1944, in Washington D.C. Because his father, James Mallory Nash, was deployed with the Marines in the Pacific, he was brought by his mother, Marie Baird Nash, to live with his grandparents at “Oak Hill” in Delaplane, Virginia and the family appropriately nicknamed him “Bunny”. By the time his father returned home following the end of World War II, the moniker had stuck. Bunny Nash grew up at “Granville” outside of Warrenton, Virginia. He attended Calvert (now Highland) School in Warrenton, Hill School in Middleburg and graduated from Milton Academy in Massachusetts in 1962. He then earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia in 1966. Having completed Officer Candidate School during the summer months, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps at the University’s Cabell Hall the day before the graduation ceremony. Trained as a helicopter pilot at NAS Pensacola, Arthur Nash (never to be known as “Bunny” while in The Corps) was proud to fly the “Low and Slow” on MEDEVAC and transport missions in South Vietnam from March, 1968 to April, 1969. Subsequently, he attended the Naval Justice School in Newport, Rhode Island and then was posted to the Caribbean on board the USS Guadalcanal. Captain Nash was honorably discharged at MCAS New River in 1970. He moved to Washington, D.C. where he worked for the National Bank of Washington. Arthur H. Nash married Mary Kimbrough Koontz on March 26, 1977 in Alexandria, Virginia, whereupon the couple moved to Granville. Bunny assumed responsibility for the operation of the family farm where he was pleased to raise their two sons. Although he was a dedicated farmer, he was also a serious sportsman and took advantage of the fluctuating seasonal demands of agriculture to pursue the outdoor sports he enjoyed – wingshooting, skiing, trekking and tennis. A gregarious individual, Bunny considered the enduring friendships cultivated through these activities and the worldwide adventures associated with his quests to be among the most rewarding aspects of his later life. Arthur Nash is survived by his wife, and two sons, Wilson Watts Nash (Lillian Gremillion Nash) and Stephen Mallory Nash, as well as his brother, Peter Baird Nash of Washington, D.C. and his sister, Philippa Rawson Creighton of Boulder, Colorado. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, James Mallory ( Jay) Nash, Jr. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift made in his memory to Shepherd Center, 2020 Peachtree Road, NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30309 or Hospice of the Piedmont, c/o Development Department, 675 Peter Jefferson Parkway, Suite 300, Charlottesville, VA 22911
