After weeks of unproductive debates and one failed vote, the Warrenton Town Council voted 5-1 last week to pass a budget for fiscal year 2023, which begins July 1. Council members had barely two weeks to spare before the police and other essential town workers would have been expected to report to work without pay.

What’s the buzz? It’s Half Past Moon in Marshall

By Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

Ana Rodriguez is bringing a bit of West Coast flair to her Half Past Moon Coffee Buzz shop in Marshall. Anyone looking for a cup of Joe will also find a new offering on the menu: CBD lattes.

“I was prompted to add this to the menu from my experience and observation,” she said.

Rodriguez explained that as someone at risk for both bipolar disorder and depression, she is thankful for the health benefits of CBD. “I have always been very aware of signs, from an early age, that I could fall into either of those categories. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to be very grateful for the positive impact CBD has had on me as an adult. The great part of owning my own shop is the opportunity to share with others the things that make me happy,” she adds.

CBD can be added to any of the drinkable menu items, but Rodriguez’s favorites are coffees and lattes.

The journey to entrepreneurship

Four years ago, Rodriguez experienced a vision of sorts while working at a spa in Warrenton. “It was a small business, and I was the only assistant.

We talked about adding coffee service to the spa.

I would fill orders while customers waited.” The idea never came to fruition, but Rodriguez would find a way to give it a second life.

Cordial Coffee in Marshall, feeling the impact of the pandemic, decided to close its Marshall location in 2020 and focus on its Berryville coffee bean roasting operation.

Anne Tran, owner of the Marshall Day Spa on the first floor of the historic house where both businesses were located, purchased the coffee shop and changed the name to West Main Coffee Shop. Tran ran both businesses, and in early 2021 she hired Rodriguez. Rodriguez was promoted to manager the following summer and just six months later, Rodriguez was the owner.

“With business improving, [Tran] was no longer able to manage both the spa and the coffee shop, and I offered to buy the business from her,” said Rodriguez.

“I’m originally from a small town near San Francisco and while it’s been a long time since I lived there, I remember the atmosphere and cultural diversity, and I was excited about infusing West Coast coffee energy in Marshall,” she said. CBD lattes are one example of this energy. The décor in the coffeehouse also has West Coast vibes with a strong connection to the natural world.

Although the menu is refreshed, customers who have grown to expect coffee at that location are pleased to know that some things have remained the same. “We are still using the Cordial coffee beans. We also have a lot of the same items on the menu, including a quiche made by [Tran] and smoothies,” she said.

The menu includes a lot of what coffee shop patrons expect. From drip coffee, pour over, espresso, cold brew nitro, Americano and Perry (an Americano with sparkling water), with a variety of house-made syrups and milk from both cows and almonds. Other hot drinks include hot chocolate, apple cider, vanilla or caramel steamer.

An affogato – an Italian dessert with ice cream drowned in espresso – satisfies a craving for both dessert and coffee. A modest food menu is also available, offering a variety of breakfast sandwiches and plant-based sandwiches along with the

favored quiche.

Rodriguez is both content with where she is and is looking to the future. “I feel like I have the shop in a good place with good baristas helping me. I have a few ideas for the future, like adding live music on Sunday afternoons.”

Half Past Moon Coffee Buzz is located at 8375 W. Main Street in Marshall. The coffee shop is closed on Monday; open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday; 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. The shop has a Facebook page called Half Past Moon Coffee Buzz.

Clarification

A story in the June 15 edition of the Fauquier Times cited the taxes that would have been due to Fauquier County and the Town of Warrenton in 2021 on 42 acres now owned by Amazon Data Services.

Due to Amazon’s purchase of the property in Sept. 2022, its assessment has increased, and taxes on the property for 2022 are calculated to be $282,480 for the county and $12,513 for the town.

Warrenton delays decision on requiring permits for public gatherings Black Lives Matter activists say application fees are too high

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Warrenton Town Council on June 14 delayed a decision to vote on an ordinance that would require a special event permit in advance of “organized public gatherings” in parks, on sidewalks or other public spaces.

The proposed ordinance was contentious because it would require an application fee of $100 for the permit, which would cover seven days of gatherings, either consecutive or spread out over weeks or months. A new application fee would be required after each batch of seven gatherings.

The Warrenton Police Department is working with the town attorney in advance of the council’s July 12 meeting to come up with a plan to waive fees for groups exercising their constitutional rights, including free speech. Town staff would review applications and issue permits.

“The protection of our citizens’ constitutional rights we, as police officers, have been sworn to uphold, and it is very important we do just that,” said Mike Kochis, Warrenton Chief of Police.

The special event permit would be required for parades, street closures and “sidewalk gatherings” of 15 or more people and park events of more than 200 people.

After listening to a handful of residents explain that the fee was too high for small groups exercising their right to free speech in a peaceful way, the council decided to consult with the town attorney and return to the question next month.

Five representatives of organizations that co-sponsor the Black Lives Matter Vigils for Action, held every Saturday morning in downtown Warrenton, addressed council members at the June 14 meeting. The BLM speakers worried the application fee for the grassroots group was prohibitively high; the fees would add up to about $750 for a year of weekly vigils. Since the vigil is scheduled for every Saturday, the application and fee would be due every seven weeks, as proposed June 14.

“Thank you for working with us the past two

years to ensure our constitutional rights to express our political beliefs in a safe and orderly manner,” Scott Christian testified. He is with the Northern Piedmont chapter of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy.

Christian praised the council for its work but said the $100 application fee should be waived for groups like the BLM protesters. That’s too much for the BLM group of about 40 people, he said.

He said the group never blocks traffic or requires police resources, as they stand peacefully holding signs with phrases like “Black Lives Matter” or pictures of Black people who have died at the hands of police.

The vigils began after the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by police in Minneapolis in May 2020.

Jon Trevathan, with the Piedmont Race Amity Project, said that Warrenton’s proposed ordinance was patterned after a similar ordinance in Manassas. However, Warrenton’s proposed ordinance leaves out a crucial element, he said. In Manassas, he said, the application fee does not apply unless the gathering requires a “public safety plan.”

The proposed Warrenton ordinance requires a public safety plan to be on file if there is a potential for traffic disruptions, danger to pedestrians or “any other factors bearing on the safety, order and accessibility of streets and sidewalks.”

The application fee, Warrenton Police Chief Mike Kochis said, is to reimburse the town for the staff time to create a public safety action plan.

There is already a plan on file for the Black Lives Matters vigils that requires one police officer to be present, Kochis said. The protesters do not pay a fee for the officer’s time because the BLM protesters are exercising their constitutionally protected right to meet peaceably and exercise their free speech rights. Court rulings establish that right.

Even if a revised draft ordinance allowed for groups to apply for a waiver, if the application or safety plan needed to be revised, the protesters could face a fee, Kochis said.

The BLM speakers all said their group was peaceful and posed no safety hazards. “We come together from six non-partisan groups to bear witness

to the need for racial justice,” said Barbara Amster, a BLM organizer and member of the League of Women Voters of Prince William-Fauquier Area.

“We’re pastors, priests, teachers, students, small business owners and many others who assemble peacefully to stand up for decency and equal treatment under the law,” she testified.

The Warrenton group receives no funding from national groups or from anyone outside the vigil, Amster said, which makes the necessity of paying $750 annually a “crushing burden.”

Another speaker, Jean Boenish, testified that she had experience in coordinating parachuting events with multiple law enforcement and emergency services agencies in West Virginia. As a result, she said, she was very familiar with permitting practices. She urged the council to avoid lumping events such as the BLM vigils into the same “special events” category as parades or other large events that could shut down streets or cause other disruptions.

The proposed ordinance would require that an application and fee be filed with the town at least five business days in advance of a sidewalk gathering of 15 to 200 people and at least 14 business days in advance for a parade, street closure, park gathering, or sidewalk gathering of more than 200 people. Kochis said he hoped large groups would work with the town more than 14 business days in advance.

The proposed ordinance, once approved, would replace the memorandum that currently applies to planned gatherings on public sidewalks, streets and parks.

The existing memorandum says event applicants will receive an estimate of expenses related to their application within 30 days of the town receiving an application. However, municipalities are not allowed to charge groups who are exercising their constitutional rights, like the Black Lives Matter protesters.

No application is required for organized gatherings of 14 or fewer people on streets or sidewalks or fewer than 200 people in a park. Also exempt are spontaneous gatherings, funeral processions or government activities.

Father’s Day car show moves to American Legion grounds Warrenton’s Post 72 of the American Legion hosted a Father’s Day car show on Sunday, June 19 on the Legion grounds. The show has been sponsored by other organizations over the years and held on Main Street in Warrenton, but it seems to have found a new home.

More than 172 cars pre-registered and more than 200 were on display the day of the show, said event coordinator Dave Lucash. “It was a great crowd and a great event,” said Lucash, who owns Pro Auto Performance Center in Opal. Proceeds from the show will benefit American Legion Post 72 and the FISH food bank.

Lucash said that the American Legion is planning a second car show from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 30. The event will be Halloween-themed. Costumes are encouraged, and there will be a trunk or treat for children.

Hundreds attend 2nd annual Juneteenth Festival on Saturday Event on Warrenton’s Main Street ‘nothing but good vibes’

By Abby Zimmardi

Warm hugs and shared laughter overflowed from Main Street on Saturday as friends and families gathered for the second annual Fauquier County Juneteenth Festival.

The festival had a reunion-like feel and featured more than 60 vendors.

An activity-packed agenda attracted hundreds of people from Fauquier County and surrounding areas to celebrate.

A stage at Fifth Street featured the Chihamba African Dance Troupe, whose colorful caftans rippled to the sounds of African drum music.

At Courthouse Square, two hair braiders competed. Stylists worked for a couple of hours on volunteers while they were judged on their technique.

Barrie Newman, one of the founders of the Fauquier County Juneteenth Festival, said that he hoped people would leave the festival with a greater understanding of Black history in America and in the county, and he also wanted the event to serve as a safe space for the community.

“It [the festival] was great,” Newman said. “Well-received, well-loved, nothing but good vibes and good feedback from what was going on.”

Newman said that estimates placed attendance at about 1,500, higher than last year’s inaugural celebration at Eva Walker Park. The mayors of Warrenton and Manassas, town council members and residents were enthusiastic, Newman said.

Juneteenth celebrates the longsought freedom of enslaved people in the United States. President Joe Biden signed a bill last year that made it an official federal holiday; it was declared a state holiday in Virginia in 2020. June 19, 1865, marks the day that the news of Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached enslaved people in Texas.

Iris Massey, a Prince William County resident, attended the festival with her husband and two children, both of whom were eating popcorn – their favorite food vendor of the day. Massey wanted her children to learn about their enslaved ancestors’ rich culture.

“I just hope that by coming here, I can share this with other people, and year after year, more and more people will come, and we’ll all be able to celebrate and enjoy it together,” Massey said.

There were 68 vendors in total, and they lined both sides of Main Street, selling cotton candy, soaps, books, clothing or bags. Local organizations such as the Fauquier County Democratic Party took the opportunity to reach out to attendees as well.

One of the vendors was Cynthia’s African Jewels, where Cynthia and

“We would like for people to see how creative African people and people of African descent are, and I think it’s a great way to celebrate today, by really showing the artistry and allowing people to get a little taste of Africa,” Cynthia Leslie said.

Nan Butler Roberts, one of the day’s emcees, said that Warrenton “really showed up and showed out” for the festival: “I think it’s just a day of unity, and a day of celebration, and a day that we can really all come together and be on the same page about something. There are so many things that are divisive in the country right now, and so I hope that this will give people an opportunity to come together and have something that’s joyful, and something that can unify people as well.”

Fauquier County NAACP, the American Historical Association, View Tree Masonic Lodge #142 and I.A.B. organized the event.

Warrenton Town Council passes budget after false starts BUDGET, from page 1 The $31.3 million budget includes pay increases for town employees, including police officers. Increased expenditures will be funded in part by increasing the town’s meals tax from 4% to 6%, bringing the tax in line with surrounding counties and towns.

“And the budget is adopted,” Vice Mayor James Hartman (Ward 4) said June 16 as applause erupted from two dozen people attending the meeting.

The vote came two days after an almost identical draft budget failed to gain the necessary five votes to pass.

Councilmen Kevin Carter (Ward 5) and Renard Carlos (at-large) were the dissenting votes on June 14. Carter maintained his position throughout the budget process, arguing that any tax increases cannot be justified in an uncertain macroeconomic climate and voted against the budget on both occasions.

Carlos has said at every budget session that he wants to restructure the town’s revenue streams to put more tax burden on real estate owners and less on businesses. He voted “no” to the proposed budget on June 14 but changed his vote to a “yes” on June 16. Carlos did not give any specific reason for the change of position. “I think the time has come for us to move on,” he said.

After weeks opposing increased taxes, Councilman Bill Semple (Ward 2) voted in favor of the budget during both votes last week, joining Hartman, Heather Sutphin (Ward 1) and Brett Hamby (Ward 3).

Sean Polster (at-large) was not physically present at the June 16 meeting because of a death in his family. He joined the meeting remotely and immediately claimed that the meeting was illegal because it was not advertised three days in advance. The council took a quick recess to discuss the objection with the town attorney, who said that because the June 16 meeting was a continuation of the June 14 meeting, no notice was required.

Polster lost his connection before the council voted on a budget resolution from Hamby, but Polster texted a “no” vote.

What’s in the budget?

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL

Town Councilmen James Hartman, Kevin Carter and Renard Carlos Hamby withdrew his motion; the budget resolution was altered slightly to include some consulting fees, and Hamby put forth a new motion to approve the altered budget. The board voted 5-1 in favor of that motion. Polster did not vote on the second resolution. The budget would have passed even if Polster had been able to vote “no.”

Meals tax rate divides council

The budget that ultimately passed included a provision raising the meals tax from 4% to 6%, a change equivalent to an extra $1 on a $50 dollar tab for people who eat at restaurants within the town limits.

The meals tax is the single largest source of general-fund revenue for the town.

Sutphin, Semple, Hamby and Hartman each supported the increase at the June 14 meeting, arguing that it was the best way to pay for the expenditures that council members wanted to include in the budget. “Passing a flat budget puts employees and town services at severe risk,” Hartman told the Fauquier Times on June 15.

Hartman cited the council’s decision earlier this month to lower the tax on real estate from 5 cents to 4 cents per $100 of assessed value, which will lower the average homeowner’s monthly tax bill by $3. “We may have saved the average homeowner $37 [per year] on their mortgage by lowering the real estate tax, but now they may have to pay out of pocket for trash service. Imagine that? This is the risk created by last night’s vote,” he said June 15.

Sutphin took a similar position a day before the final vote. She said that the town needs the meals tax increase — along with raising the cigarette tax from 20 cents to 40 cents a pack — to maintain the services

people want and need, including retaining a competitively paid staff and services, such as garbage collection. “Prices go up on everyone, even the town,” she said.

‘An act of stubborn pique’

The 48 hours between the failed June 14 vote and the successful June 16 vote were at times tense. On June 15, Mayor Carter Nevill called the refusal by Carlos and Carter to support the budget “an act of stubborn pique.” (Nevill does not have a vote on the budget.)

“It is embarrassing that we are at this point right now,” Nevill told the Fauquier Times the day after the failed vote. He was especially critical of what he said was Carlos’ and Carter’s failure to offer any alternative funding sources — while at the same time offering theoretical support for raising the salaries of town employees.

“This town has operated on the mentality that we can stretch our resources to the breaking point,” Nevill said. “To cut services, if that is the direction the no votes want to take, it is incumbent on them to find those savings.”

Employees have been the losers in Warrenton’s ongoing reluctance to adequately fund town services and personnel costs, Nevill said. For example, he said, Finance Director Stephanie Miller has in the past taken on the roles of director of budget and procurement officer, while also handling human resources duties for the town. Expecting employees to take on multiple roles makes recruitment very difficult, he said.

Before the June 14 town council meeting, Sean McGowan, executive director of the Virginia Division of the Southern States Police Benevolent Association, sent a letter to the seven council members asking that

The Warrenton Town Council approved a $31.3 million budget for fiscal 2023, which begins July 1.

That’s an increase of $4.8 million from fiscal 2022. Much of the increase will be used to upgrade the town’s aging sewer and water infrastructure.

Revenue for this year’s budget includes nearly $1 million in one-time federal stimulus funds allocated to the town by the American Rescue Plan Act. The money can be used for some personnel costs and to help with infrastructure projects.

The town will use the ARPA funds to help pay for several staff positions, including a junior engineer, a deputy director of public works and a project coordinator, but that money will only fund the position for three years. After that, the town council will have to include the staffing in the regular budget or terminate the positions.

In addition, the federal money will pay for some one-time infrastructure costs, including HVAC replacement, police vehicles, traffic light updates, a salt spreader, a leaf machine and fitness equipment replacement at the WARF. Separately, the council has already earmarked $4.5 million in ARPA funds to improve the dam at the Warrenton Reservoir over the next few years.

For this year’s budget, the council spent $446,303 from the town’s fund balance, which serves as a “rainy day” fund. As a matter of policy, the council keeps a fund balance equal to 50% of its operating budget. The projected fund balance for the adopted budget is 53%. the council approve a pay raise, in addition to merit increases, for police. That would be “a step in the right direction in increasing your officers’ compensation.”

“The Warrenton Police Department is currently the lowest paid law-enforcement agency within their compared jurisdictions,” the letter said. “The specter of not receiving a paycheck in July due to a failure to pass a budget has shaken those who protect you and your citizens.”

Memorial flyover will honor the late Gen. Chuck Boyd A memorial flyover in honor of Gen. Chuck Boyd, USAF (Ret.) of Marshall will be held Saturday, June 25, taking off from the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport in Midland at about 12:30 p.m. Boyd was a four-star Air Force general and a former fighter pilot who was shot down during the Vietnam War and held captive for seven years in North Vietnam. He died on March 23 at the age of 83.

There will be 16 planes in the flyover formation this Saturday – all T-34s. Boyd’s wife Jessica Mathews explained, “These are old USAF planes – T for trainers. In fact, they are the type of plane Chuck learned to fly in. They are such

good planes: beautiful to handle and aerobatic …

Along with many other vintage Air Force planes (Mustangs, Corsairs, etc.), they are now known as Warbirds.”

She added that the formation will first fly northwest toward Front Royal. At Markham they will hold before flying back over Boyd’s family farm west of Marshall. She said, “The full group of planes will make the first pass. Then, the new owner of Boyd’s plane will fly a slower, lower pass so folks can see his plane. Then, a group of four will fly the Missing Man formation in which one plane (painted in Air Force colors) pulls steeply up into the sky leaving a hole behind in the formation.”

The group will land at about 1:30 p.m. at the airport.

Formation flights are aviators’ way of showing respect and honor for someone, said Mathews.

She said they are demanding to fly, requiring detailed planning, briefing and piloting skills.

This tribute was organized by William Smith, Boyd’s close friend and a leader of the T-34 community. Mathews said, “Smitty and Chuck flew formations together many, many times. Organizing and leading them takes an enormous amount of work. Smitty did all the heavy lifting.” She said that pilots on Saturday will come from as far away as Florida and Texas to participate in the flyover.

Warrenton police officers review budget documents during a May 10 Warrenton Town Council meeting.

Police pay was at stake in Warrenton budget debate

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Sean McGowan, executive director of the Southern States Police Benevolent Association in Virginia, had a sharp message for the Warrenton Town Council as they approached the June 30 deadline to pass a budget. He noted that, if they were unable to work out their differences by then, town employees, including police officers, wouldn’t be paid beginning July 1.

“The prospect of council failing to pass a budget has had a palpable negative impact on the loyal and hardworking members of the police department. The specter of not receiving a paycheck in July due to a failure to pass a budget has shaken those who protect you and your citizens,” McGowan said in a June 14 letter to the council. Two days later, the council passed a budget that included a pay increase for the police and all other town employees.

But the issue was bigger than simply passing a budget, he wrote. Warrenton police officers, he claimed, are currently the lowest paid among “comparable jurisdictions.” The town manager’s proposed budget would fund 5% cost-of-living raises and 0-2% merit raises for town employees — including the police department. However, some council members had been reluctant to support tax increases to fund those raises, despite their vocal support for those raises in principle.

“We ask that you follow through with that support and adopt the budget that includes the personnel package,” McGowan wrote in the June 14 letter.

In a separate interview with the Fauquier Times, McGowan said June 15 that local governments all face similar funding challenges to recruit and retain good police officers, especially at a time when some people are leaving law enforcement.

McGowan attributed this dynamic almost entirely to left-wing activists.

But, he said, a failure by Warrenton’s council to increase pay for the roughly 30 people employed by the police department would be the

equivalent of some left-wing groups’ demands to “defund” police departments. “This is lack of support. This is the other side of that equation, and it’s just as harmful,” he said.

Regardless of the ideology espoused by legislators, law enforcement agencies across Virginia struggle to recruit and retain employees, McGowan said, especially at the entry level. “Most of the people who come in are coming in on the base salary,” said McGowan, who added that localities are “scrambling” to hire and retain enough officers.

At $45,500, the current starting salary for an entry-level police officer in Warrenton would be significantly less than nearby towns and counties had the council not funded the cost-of-living increase. By passing a budget June 16 that includes those raises, the minimum salary for police officers will increase to $47,800 next month.

McGowan pointed out that Warrenton’s police department is fully staffed, “which is pretty amazing.”

But failing to raise pay could have jeopardized that, he added. “The only thing you can address, as far as recruitment and retention, is pay and benefits,” he said.

Warrenton Police Chief Mike Kochis declined to comment for this story, citing ongoing budget negotiations among council members.

Unlike the county sheriff, the Warrenton police chief is not an elected position.

By the time the town council finally passed a budget, nearby localities had already used the current budget cycle to raise salaries for law enforcement officers. Beginning July 1, for instance, the minimum pay for Fauquier County sheriff’s deputies will be $48,000, up $6,500 from the current level. The town of Culpeper will have a minimum salary of $47,700 beginning July 1, a $4,300 increase from the current fiscal year. (Entry-level officers hired by the Prince William County Police Department start at $52,700, which will not change in the new fiscal year.)

County will pay family $5 million to settle claim in deputy-involved fatal crash CRASH, from page 1 The $5 million payout “is the full extent of insurance available for those claims,” according to a joint statement issued June 16 by attorneys for the county and the Dangerfield family.

A special prosecutor, Culpeper Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Walther, was appointed in March, but no criminal charges had been filed against Smith as of June 16.

Walther said May 26 that “I can confirm that the investigation is ongoing,” but declined Fauquier Times’ requests for further comment.

The state police rejected a March 7 public records request from the Fauquier Times seeking more information about the crash, citing an “open/active criminal investigation.”

Fauquier Sheriff Jeremy Falls initially placed Smith on administrative leave after the incident; Smith had been hired by former Sheriff Bob Mosier in late 2019. Falls fired Smith on March 23. In response to inquiries from the Fauquier Times, Falls declined to say whether Smith broke any departmental policies.

Smith was driving on a section of highway between Morrisville and Goldvein when his vehicle struck a 2018 Toyota Camry with Mary and Brian Dangerfield inside, according to a state police crash report. Brian Dangerfield died at the scene, and Mary Dangerfield died later that day after being transported to a hospital.

“This tragedy was unfortunate and avoidable,” said Jeffrey Breit, an attorney for the Dangerfield family, as part of the June 16 joint statement.

The statement said that “the county and the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office confirm retraining on policies for proper operation of vehicles has occurred with all sheriff’s office

personnel.” The statement added that “this and other policies that relate to the safety of law enforcement personnel and [the] general public have and will be ongoing in the future to help tragedies like this from ever being repeated.”

Kevin Biniazan, another attorney for the family, said in the joint statement that “the family is grateful that the claims were resolved quickly and without drawn-out litigation, but this money could never replace the loss of Mr. and Mrs. Dangerfield. Not a day goes by when the grandchildren don’t ask about their grandparents.”

Attorneys for the Dangerfield family first announced March 17 that they would pursue civil litigation, when Breit sent a letter to county officials informing them that “a claim is being made for personal injuries, wrongful death and other damages resulting from this incident.”

“This is a case that will be against an officer acting in a grossly negligent way,” Breit told the Fauquier Times in March. He said that there is video, GPS tracking data and a “black box” from Smith’s cruiser, all of which recorded evidence related to the crash.

Breit said that, based on his understanding, Smith was responding to a call for service without authorization. He also said Smith had been traveling at 100 mph “for a long period of time” before striking the Dangerfields’ vehicle. Smith had “voluntarily dispatched himself” to a call, adding that Smith was “told he was too far away … and no longer needed,” Breit said.

“It was basically an accident waiting to happen,” Breit claimed.

Falls has declined to comment on these allegations.

Police pay was at stake in Warrenton budget debate POLICE, from page 8 Purcellville, a Loudoun County town with a population about the same as Warrenton’s, will start its police officers at $51,700 beginning next month, up from $48,800 currently.

Sharon Rauch, Purcellville’s human resources director, said that while the town council there has made yearly pay increases a priority, the police department still struggles to recruit and retain officers. Four of the 23 budgeted positions in the department are currently vacant, she said.

One of the main reasons for that, she explained, is that larger nearby agencies like the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (minimum salary as of July 1: $55,100) and the Leesburg

Police Department (minimum salary as of July 1: $54,300) not only pay more, but also have more opportunities for training and advancement, putting smaller departments like Purcellville’s at a disadvantage.

McGowan emphasized that local governments shouldn’t take police officers for granted, explaining that he believes the nationwide shortage of good police officers will only become more acute in the coming years. Some officers “struggle through” in large part because they have already paid into the state retirement system. But, he said, “The system is breaking down.”

He concluded, “We hope people realize what’s important and they fund it – they spend the money.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It takes a village….to care for an Alzheimer’s patient

Say goodbye to demolition by neglect Warrenton Town government is poised to amend the town’s building code in such a fashion as to make the historic preservation term “demolition by neglect” a real crime with real consequences, and this reader couldn’t be more pleased. Finally, after decades of inaction by the town, Mayor [Carter] Neville is being provided wide support to put real teeth in the building code that promises to accomplish two important things for all of us: • Advance the cause of historic preservation in Old Town by granting the town greater enforcement authority, and • Relieve the suffering of victims of uninhabitable housing by eliminating sub-standard rental housing conditions and protecting the right of every Warrenton citizen to live in a healthful and safe environment.

I especially commend the mayor and Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer for initiating these changes, and I thank every member of the town staff whose duty it will be to responsibly and unwaveringly enforce our new code.

Many thanks.

JOHN V. ALBERTELLA Warrenton

The three-week odyssey of caring for my father, who has Alzheimer’s dementia, reminded me of the saying, “it takes a village,” as so many community members and friends provided support to me and my mom.

The journey also showed me once again how loving and caring our Fauquier community can be. We moved dad home from a seven-week stay with my brother in Florida, with plans to move him into Legacy Ridge memory care home within a few days, but then COVID struck all three of us.

His move-in date was delayed, and his behavior became increasingly unstable.

Mom and I probably wouldn’t have survived without the help and encouragement of so many people and organizations -EverNest Home Care, Heartland Hospice, Warrenton Police Department, the staff at Dominion Internal Medicine and so many friends.

Every caretaker we had from EverNest

offered gentle and loving care for my dad and provided us a much-needed break. In addition, Heartland’s team kicked into full gear and provided us with supplies, medicine, nursing and personal care for dad and expert guidance.

At Dominion, the staff quickly completed paperwork and responded with patience to all my follow-up phone calls.

Finally, Warrenton police responded with kindness and gentleness to our urgent calls for help when dad got too worked up for us to handle. They always succeeded in calming him down; something about the uniform must have resonated with him.

I will always be grateful to everyone who helped us during our stressful journey caring for dad and getting him settled in his new home, as a new phase of caring for dad begins.

We go to press on Tuesday afternoon, but letters received before the weekend have a better chance of making the next edition of the paper.

Brandie Schaeffer is stepping down — on her own terms SCHAEFFER, from page 1 to do the same thing with my career,” Schaeffer, 41, said Tuesday, noting especially that running a government during the pandemic has put a strain on her family life.

Schaeffer holds a master’s degree in urban and regional planning and a bachelor’s in public administration. She first came to the town government in 2016 as the director of community development after more than a decade working in the private sector. The town council appointed her as the interim town manager in the fall of 2018 after then Town Manager Brannon Godfrey was fired by the council. In 2019, the council appointed Schaeffer to the role permanently.

Schaeffer likened her tenure, much of which took place during the pandemic, to guiding a ship through a hurricane. Now that the town is out of the eye of the storm, she said, “sometimes you need to have someone else take them to the other side.” The council finalized a budget last week after a months-long process, and the mayor and two council seats are on the ballot this November. “It’s a logical time for [the council] and for me,” she said of her decision to step down.

“I’ve accomplished what I’ve wanted to, and I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished together [with the town council].” She plans to help with the transition to a new town manager, she said.

For a town manager, whose position reports to the town council as a whole, best implementing “the will of council” — a phrase Schaeffer often uses — can be tricky in the best of times. Current town council members have often struggled to find consensus.

“This has by far been the highlight of my career,” says Warrenton Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer.

“The people I work with have been some of the best people — the smartest people — I’ve ever worked with.”

But Schaeffer was nothing but positive about her time at town hall. “This has by far been the highlight of my career,” she said. “The people I work with have been some of the best people — the smartest people — I’ve ever worked with.”

Even before the pandemic, Schaeffer’s to-do list was daunting. Some departments still used typewriters. Now, with the council’s backing, the town for the first time has an IT department.

The town now streams public meetings live online and provides updates to residents through a Facebook page and a revamped website.

Codes and ordinances were years out of date and noncompliant with updated state laws when Schaeffer arrived. She guided the staff and council through the process of completely overhauling them. And Schaeffer led the effort to implement the council’s vision through the new 20-year comprehensive plan, which the council adopted last year after nearly two years of debate and revision.

When the pandemic hit, the town council relaxed zoning ordinances as part of the “Roll Out Warrenton” initiative; it allowed restaurants to use public parking spaces for outdoor dining and, eventually, regular closures of Main Street to vehicle traffic to promote out-of-town visitors. The latter two programs are still going strong today. Within a month of the pandemic reaching the East Coast, Schaeffer helped to organize a drive-thru farmers market. The market, located at the Fifth Street parking lot before the pandemic, is now a sprawling weekly event at town hall and has grown “exponentially,” she said. To implement it all, Schaeffer had to navigate changing directives from the council and rapidly evolving pandemic-related regulations from the state.

Those and related efforts made Warrenton a destination for many visitors from the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, and it’s that kind of economic vibrancy that is especially important to Schaeffer. “I want every store[front] that exists to be full. I want every business to be thriving,” she said. “I got the opportunity to put my urban planning skills to use … to make a real difference during the pandemic,” she added.

THANK YOU, WES, FOR BUILDING A WRESTLING CULTURE AT LIBERTY Coach Hawkins is stepping down after 16 years; his Eagles won 2021 state title

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Any long-lasting structure begins with the construction of a solid foundation.

That idea was paramount to Wes Hawkins when he became Liberty High wrestling coach in 2005.

Hawkins, who is stepping down after 16 strong seasons, helped create a youth program to feed talent into the Eagle wrestling room, which he credits as the lifeblood of his many successes, including the 2021 state title.

“Anything I’ve ever done, I don’t do it to finish second,” said Hawkins. “Having our minds in the right spot, we’re going to build this program. It was 24 hours a day, seven days a week for 14 of those 16 years. I would eat, drink and sleep wrestling.”

Who replaces Wes?

Wes Hawkins is on a search committee to identify the next LHS wrestling coach, which could happen by early July.

“I don’t know who it is going to be yet,” Hawkins said, noting two young Liberty wrestling alumni on staff are interested. “But there are also candidates who have [applied] for that spot that I would have never thought would put in for Liberty High School wrestling.

“We’re going to try to find the best coach to go with that program,” he said.

Intense, passionate and dedicated to winning, Hawkins not only delivered a state title to Bealeton, but under his watch a slew of elite wrestlers reigned as individual state champs.

One of the legendary figures in

In 2021 hard-driving Liberty wrestling coach Wes Hawkins (right) delivered on his long-stated goal of winning a state Class 4 title at Liberty. In his 16 years, he also helped multiple Eagles win individual state titles. Hawkins is retiring.

Liberty sports history, Hawkins’ impressive resume includes multiple top five team finishes and district and regional crowns. There also is a myriad of district, region and state individual medalists and a lengthy

list of wrestlers continuing careers at NCAA Divisions I-III and NAIA schools, including national powers Virginia Tech and Cornell.

Cashless tickets coming to county sports events New system begins this fall; also includes concerts, plays, dances

By going to a cashless ticket system for all school events, Fauquier County officials are thrilled they will no longer need to transport cash to the bank. One drawback is the $1 convenience fee added to the ticket price.

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fans heading to athletic or other school events at Liberty, Kettle Run and Fauquier high schools no longer will need to go by a bank or use an ATM beforehand.

Beginning with the upcoming 2022-23 school year, the schools are changing from a cash-based system for admission to an all-digital process.

The county schools have entered into a partnership with GoFan, a firm situated in Alpharetta, Ga., to handle all ticket sales. The GoFan website bills itself as the nation’s largest company dealing with digital tickets for high school events, dealing with more than 10,000 schools.

The new system allows fans to purchase tickets days ahead of an event instead of waiting in line at a ticket booth.

Patrons must use a desktop computer or smartphone to use the company’s website to purchase tickets for a specific event. There also is an app for iPhones only. Using a mobile device, the ticket is then presented to gate personnel when entering a venue.

Multiple tickets may be purchased and stored on a phone. Tickets also may be transferred via email to anyone. Under the new system, a $1 convenience fee is added to the ticket price.

Students also will use GoFan for their tickets.

Nothing will change as far as access by press or any other accepted passes.

Should an event be canceled, the school notifies GoFan, which automatically begins a refund pro-

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

cess that may take up to five days. If an event is postponed, the ticket is automatically transferred to the new date.

Short tutorials are available on YouTube to show the process.

“The key thing is the overall simplicity of it,” said Fauquier activities director Mark Ott. “Yes, I still need to pay a ticket-person to look at phones and push a button. That’s easier than sitting there and counting out change when one person comes, buys six dollar tickets and hands you a hundred dollar bill.”

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, cash was required to purchase a ticket because the county

schools and most other school systems did not accept credit or debit cards or any other payment method. That thinking changed with the pandemic’s widespread shutdowns. The emphasis turned to social distancing, avoiding lines and restricting handling paper money that might be contaminated.

When the Virginia High School League allowed the resumption of athletics in December, 2020, all the surrounding counties began requiring the use of online software or smartphone apps to buy tickets.

Kettle Run High golf coach Chris Ferrell teamed with Greg Pappas to finish sixth at the Virginia State Golf Association Four-Ball Championship on May 15-17.

Ferrell, a 2011 KRHS grad, and Pappas, a 2010 Fauquier High grad, shot 11-under par at Bay Creek Resort in Cape Charles.

Both are long-time members of Fauquier Springs Country Club.

They carded rounds of 65 and 68 to finish in a tie for sixth in a field of 44 teams.

Cashless ticketing has lots of benefits TICKETS, from page 17 No cash sales of tickets for VHSL state tournament contests were available either through the end of the 2021 spring season. Those entities all decided to remain in cashfree mode for the recently completed 2021-22 school year Paul Frye, Kettle Run’s director of student activities, said the local ADs wanted to follow the VHSL trend but the timing was off.

“Sharing bank information was the hold-up. [The change] just had to go through some steps,” said Frye, who presented the proposal to the central office. “But there was no roadblock.”

“We got on it late, and by the time we were ready to get going, it was already mid-season,” he explained. “We’ll be ready to start fresh this year.”

Ott said many local fans already are familiar with the process if they traveled to Winchester-area schools or any contest in Loudoun or Prince William counties the past two years.

The new process also alleviates security concerns when handling receipts from a highly attended game, Ott said, using a football game between two county schools as an example.

“If you have a good gate, you can bring in $10,000 to $12,000 dollars or more for a football game,” Ott said. “Then you need to worry about what you are going to do with money after the game: get it to the bank for the night deposit or use a safe, depending on how much you have.

“Then you have to count it, take it to the finance people and then they recount it. There is a lot of handling of money that doesn’t need to be.”

“Our biggest gates obviously are Friday nights,” Frye agreed. “[The money] is at school all weekend before finance can get its hands on it.

It’s just a lot easier this way.”

The schools’ bottom lines will not be diminished as they will receive the full price of admission, said Ott. “The cost is put on the spectators in the form of one dollar convenience fee for each ticket purchased,” he ex-

plained, so a family of four now will pay $28 dollars instead of $24 for a game.

“We’ve talked to the [athletic directors] of the other counties, and no one has complained about the convenience fee.”

GoFan also will benefit the finance office at each school.

“The accounting is phenomenal,” Ott continued. “[The school] receives a weekly or monthly report.

“Say you have a field hockey game, two volleyball games, a junior varsity football game and a varsity football game at home in the same week. When you receive your report, you get one check or direct deposit, but it is already broken down so the money can be credited to the correct sport.”

If a person does not have a smartphone, they can pay with a credit/debit card reader provided by the company in conjunction with an iPad, which records the ticket transaction.

“The consensus right now is we will not have any cash sales at the gate,” Ott said.

The literature also says some customers allow fans to print a paper copy of the ticket purchase, but Ott and Frye say that option will not be available to prevent fraud. One person could buy one ticket and print 10 copies, which would be difficult to catch upon entry.

Not just for sports

GoFan will be used for many other activities at the schools, Ott said happily, pointing to tickets for concerts, plays, dances and other non-sporting events. The software also will allow data collection and limit paper files, said Ott, using prom tickets as an example.

“We need to collect information from the purchaser for prom so we know who it is. There will be a drop down menu where the name, grade, student identification number and email address can be listed. It’s all right there,” Ott explained, adding similar fields will allow online registration for sports and non-sports camps held at the schools.

Hawkins retires after legendary career HAWKINS, from page 17 Hawkins wrestled for four years at Liberty, graduating in 2001 after winning the school’s second-ever individual state championship as a senior. His relationship with the school remained strong.

“I had wrestled for such a long time. I said ‘At least I could give back to Liberty High School,’” Hawkins recalls.

Hawkins was an assistant for two years under Dean Spahr, Liberty’s current director of student activities.

Hawkins became coach when Spahr became the school’s assistant AD under Jerry Carter.

“I came back, went into the wrestling room and liked being around the kids,” he continued. “Then, I began seeing kids with potential. I thought the program could be pushed in a direction where it could win.”

Liberty had standout individual wrestlers but were not a consistent factor on the team scale. “When I became coach, I said ‘Let’s try to make some changes to move things in the right direction,’” Hawkins said.

The task was arduous and time consuming for Hawkins, assistant coach Joe Divello and parents, but the many later achievements make the sacrifices tolerable.

He remembered a pledge he had made to his mother before she succumbed to a battle with cancer. The idea was to start a youth wrestling program for the high school and a middle school program for the county “because there was nothing there.”

Fauquier High had a youth program that drew from all over the county. Hawkins has said catching up with the Falcons was unlikely without future Liberty wrestlers having the experience and training gained through youth wrestling.

Hawkins said convincing friend Divello to head the youth program

was key to any plans.

“It started with putting good people in good places. Without Joe Divello helping me and being on the same pages, it would have been very hard,” Haskins said.

Outside of the high school season, the expanding youth club now meant multiple trips up and down the East Coast and elsewhere. The Liberty program steadily climbed to the level where national-caliber tournaments such as Beast of the East, Iron Man and the Virginia Duals became a regular segment of the schedule. The tournament experience also led to the Eagles being mentioned with many of the state’s top Class 4 programs.

The Eagles had not won an individual gold medal since Hawkins victory at 160 pounds in 2001. After a 17-year drought, Liberty now has nine more state individual champs since 2018.

Mason Barrett led the way with three golds in 2019-2021, Colin Dupill has two titles (2020 and 2021), with Ricky Ryan and Jordan Florence (both 2018) and Noah Hall and Royce Hall (both 2021) earning one each.

Looking back, Hawkins says, “We exceeded our expectations.”

Thank you, Wes

For his accomplishments as coach (and state champ), Hawkins ranks with Jerry Carter (athletic director), Tommy Buzzo (football coach) and Ellen Allen (girls basketball), and others like Spahr and Paul Frye (ADs) and Charlie Padgett (softball) as a prominent Eagle coaching figure.

Liberty principal Sam Cox agrees, “Wes Hawkins has given an enormous amount of time, energy and effort in working to build a state champion wrestling team,” said Cox, pointing to many of the hours of work outside the normal stipend.

BOOK REVIEW

Summer reading list includes study of horses, horsemanship in ancient, modern warfare

By Matthew Biscotti

Special to the Fauquier Times

Charles Caramello’s “Riding to Arms: A History of Horsemanship and Mounted Warfare” is a thorough treatise on the evolution of the subject.

Though the horse is no longer critical in warfare, much of this literary history describes principles of riding and instruction that laid the foundation for the theory and practice of riding today.

The first chapter, “Ryding and Breakinge,” (the author used the old English spelling for emphasis) is a review of equestrian literature published beginning with Xenophon of Athens’ (431 – 354 BC) Art of Horsemanship and carrying through all of the important works to the end of the 18th century.

Chapter two, “Manége to Field,” discusses the literature on classical methods of riding and training horsemen and their influence on horsemen of the day. Works by Grisone, Cavendish, von Eisenberg, Caprilli, Santini and many of the other French, German and Italian masters of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries are included.

Chapter three, “Light Horse, Dragoons and Others,” begins with definitions of various terms, such as “heavy cavalry,” “light cavalry,” “dragoons,” “cavalry charge,” and is a discussion of how horses were ultimately used in warfare and how the horseman’s training influenced their use.

Emphasis is placed on how the horse was used in

World War I and how effective its use was, both on the eastern and western fronts.

Caramello references writers such as Hinde, Nolan, Baker, Denison and others. He discusses the views of various authors of the day in regard to the future of the horse in warfare, since the early 20th century introduced motorized transport to the world.

Chapter four, "Remounts and Wastage," discusses how the vast number of horses needed for the American Cavalry, the British in the Crimean War and World War I were procured. The author provides statistics for the horses used and estimates of how many were killed, abandoned or died of other causes.

The number is staggering: 8 million.

Chapter five, “Hunting in the Trenches,” discusses the role that foxhunting experiences influenced the mounted soldier.

“For six millennia, the horse played a signal role in human history and, for the past half-millennium, a decisive role in military history,” Caramello wrote. “In the modern era in Europe, from the renaissance to the 20th century, mounted warfare depended upon the formal training of military horses and riders, and, for at least two centuries, refined systems of manége dressage and equitation provided the theoretical and practical bases for that training.”

Caramello is former dean of the graduate school

and current professor emeritus of English at the University of Maryland. He is also a John H. Daniels Fellow at the National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg. He is an active rider, and he trains in eventing at Waredaca in Maryland.

UCHS president Joe Fargis presented the President’s Award to Tommy Lee and Diane Jones in recognition of their invaluable commitment and loyalty to the competition.

Zoe Rae Arnold, 5, attended her first polo match Saturday night at Great Meadow. Zoe brought her plastic horse models to enjoy the action too, but they attracted the attention of umpire Hardy Pemberton’s mount on the side of the arena. Arnold later reported that neither Pemberton’s horse nor her horse models were injured in the altercation.

Dedicated to winning, Hawkins ‘would eat, drink and sleep wrestling’ HAWKINS, from page 19 “He has paid out of pocket to help students afford equipment, for hotel rooms to non-school sponsored tournaments and provided transportation all to help wrestlers experience different levels of competition they would otherwise never have had the chance to,” Cox added.

“Coach Hawkins has been a pillar of the LHS wrestling community for a long time. We will miss Coach Hawkins energetic personality and dedication to the students in the wrestling community.”

What’s next for Wes?

Hawkins admits he’ll miss being around the wrestling room on a consistent basis. He said he will continue to support the youth and high school programs financially.

He also had pledged to attend some of the national level events next season.

He also stressed he is looking forward to more “me” time.

“It’s time for me to move on,” Hawkins says. “I haven’t had a winter from October through March

my whole life.

“I’ve always been somewhere wrestling, “This year, I’m going to rent a cabin, and I want it to be snowing when I go. I don’t even ski, but I want a foot of snow.

“Just sit up there and relax,” he said of a desire that has been growing for the past four years.

The expected downtime has other advantages.

“My daughter [Lily] is a really good gymnast. She just won the state this year,” he said proudly.

A member of the Woods Gymnastics Club out of Warrenton, she won the XP level of the Virginia Xcel State Meet by capturing the all-around gold medal. She won individual honors on the uneven parallel bars and the balance beam to go with a third-place tie in the floor exercise and a sixth in the vault.

“I’ve only been to seven or eight gymnastics competitions over the years because of wrestling,” he said, happy he can watch her more.

Brandie Schaeffer is stepping down — on her own terms SCHAEFFER, from page 14 Schaeffer also pointed to her hiring of Police Chief Mike Kochis in early 2020. She used a unique process, forming two committees to advise her. One was composed of civilians, the other of police officers. The person chosen for the job, she said, needed “both to be a good cop … but also needs to be someone the public can talk to.” Kochis had never led an entire police department before, she noted, but he proved to be perfect for the role in Warrenton.

Schaeffer especially praised Kochis’ efforts to modernize the department and implement community policing practices — something for which his department has since received national attention. This was all the more pertinent in the wake of the May 2020 murder of a man by a police officer in Minnesota, an incident that sparked nationwide protests. Kochis’ ability to listen to the concerns of residents “proved to be even more important than I knew when I hired him,” Schaeffer said.

Kochis “was kind of reflective of what I felt was important coming into community development,” she said.

Schaeffer’s goal in local government is “to make sure it’s fair — that not one group’s preference overshadows

that of others,” she said.

Warrenton is many things to many people, Schaeffer said. It’s home to more than 10,000 people.

It’s the economic hub of Fauquier County. It’s the seat of the county’s government and court systems. It’s a weekend destination for day-trippers from Northern Virginia. It’s a stop on the road for many commuters.

Whomever council chooses to replace her, that person will need to be adept at listening attentively to people with widely disparate viewpoints and balancing those many competing interests, she said.

Sometimes, that can mean bringing bad news to the council. Schaeffer emphasized that Warrenton, like all small towns, does not have unlimited resources, meaning that elected officials have to make difficult choices about what to fund and what to cut. The next step for the town “is really focusing on what services it wants to provide — and provide well,” she said.

“Sometimes you have to tell them what they don’t want to hear, so they can make the best decision,” Schaeffer said, emphasizing that she has focused on providing actionable and accurate information to council members. The interactive budget visualization tool that the town staff

created to help the council decide on a budget this year is a good example of that, she added. “You have to be able to give them all the data and let them make the best decision based on that data,” she said.

Schaeffer said in a letter to Mayor Carter Nevill, “I appreciate your unwavering support during my time here and look forward to seeing the exciting things you will accomplish in the coming years as another manager takes on the challenge.”

‘The right person at the right time’

When asked for comment Tuesday, elected officials said that Schaeffer was, as Vice Mayor James Hartman (Ward 4) put it, “Definitely the right person at the right time.” He added, “The way she led us through the pandemic, putting the survival of businesses and the welfare of our employees out front gained national attention and was truly remarkable.”

Nevill noted her efforts to make the government more efficient and responsive to the needs of the public.

“She made long-overdue institutional improvements to how the town operates that position Warrenton well to continue delivering a high quality of life for our residents and prosperity for our businesses,” he said.

“Under her steady hand, Warrenton enhanced existing businesses, while

recruiting new ones, moved into a new, more open town hall and ensured our community bonds were strengthened. There is no question that these outcomes were what they were because of her.”

Nevill concluded, “Her passion for this town, and for the people who work with such dedication to make it the great place it is, is unparalleled.

She has set a high bar, but she leaves the town stronger and more efficient, which will serve her successor well.

She will be missed.”

Schaeffer “showed exemplary leadership in handling the COVID emergency,” said Councilman Brett Hamby (Ward 3). “She assisted the employees, citizens and local businesses on a 24-hour basis.”

Councilwoman Heather Sutphin (Ward 1) said, “I feel bad for Warrenton because she is leaving but feel blessed that we had her. She has put us in a good direction. I am a better person for knowing her.”

Councilman Bill Semple (Ward 2) called Schaeffer a “visionary” who “steered us … with passion and energy through some very tough times.” He added that Schaeffer “is a great advocate for residents, her staff — and particularly for police.”

OBITUARIES

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | June 22, 2022

OBITUARIES Daemien Jay Jones Daemien Jay Jones was born in Mount Clemens, Michigan on July 16, 1976 to Rev. Jesse Jones Jr and Beverly Jones. He was the OLDEST of 3 children of which he made very well known. On June, 15, 2022, Daemien answered God’s call to come home.

Daemien attended Evangel Christian School in Dale City, VA from 1st grade until he graduated in June 1994. He then attended Liberty University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing in December of 1999.

He was so proud of his Alma Mater, if he ever saw someone wearing Liberty paraphernalia, he would stop and talk to them making sure they knew he is a FLAME. He also attended classes at Washington Bible College and Lancaster Bible College.

Daemien began working as a Buyer in the purchasing department of Prince William County Schools in May of 1999. He worked very hard, diligently and successfully. He worked his way up the ranks to Purchasing Administrative Coordinator. DJ was a Certified Professional Public Buyer (CPPB), and was a member of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) and Virginia Association of Governmental Purchasing (VAGP). He also served as a Fauquier County Election Officer for many years.

Daemien accepted Christ at the early age of 6 at Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Triangle, VA. He wanted answers to prayer and knew God heard the prayers of the righteous. He began to pray for salvation and was soon baptized in 1982. He began to attend Oak Shade Baptist Church (OSBC) in 1983 and joined in 1999. Daemien was truly a devoted and valuable servant at OSBC. He served as a Trustee and was ordained as a Deacon in October 2010. He was also in the Men’s Chorus, the Mass Choir, and the Audio Visual team. He was the current Adult Sunday School teacher and served many years teaching not only adults, but he was the Lead Youth Advisor and taught the youth membership classes for those that had decided to join the church and or were asking to be baptized. He also was the Pastor’s right hand man. Anything that needed to be done, Daemien did it. Always on the go, from the pool to the pulpit, he was constantly being asked to help and rarely said no. He organized the Mother’s Day Lunches and always made sure the Father’s Day programs went off without a hitch. Every year he participated in the OSBC Christmas play, no matter what was asked, from the lead soloist to Joseph he was always the star.

He would mop the floor, change light bulbs, fixed sound systems and computers, anything that was asked. The community knew how valuable his knowledge was, many churches asked for his presence and help on many things. Daemien was currently serving as the President of the Fauquier County Deacons Conference.

Daemien was also very active with the Fauquier County Special Olympics and enjoyed helping each year with the Track and Field event.

Many friendships were made and cherished. (G0 ORANGE!) Daemien married the love of his life, his wifey, his Nettie, his Candy Rain on February 14, 2004. He also became a dad of two young beautiful girls. In 2022, he became a very proud, strawberry picking, grandfather to his “nugget”.

Daemien was very strong and courageous. He was also well loved no matter where he went. He let his light so shine, I don’t even think he knew how many lives he touched. He was dearly loved by his work family, his wife’s work family, his schoolmates, his wife’s schoolmates, the election officers and so many churches, but most of all his family.

Those left to rejoice for being a part of his life and forever will cherish him are his wife Danette Jones (Sumerduck, VA), daughters Rebekah (Sumerduck, VA) and Emileigh (Sumerduck, VA) and his little “nugget”, Calliope; his parents, Rev Jesse Jones Jr and Beverly Jones(Dumfries, VA); his sisters Danyl Jones (Sterling, VA) and Dasha(Marcus) Eddy(Woodbridge, VA); and his grandmother, Maggie Jones(Bracey, VA); as well as a host of many family members left behind, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins, other family members, coworkers, and friends.

Daemien’s family’s greatest joy was the love, laughter, teaching and life lessons we received from him as a husband, father, son, brother and friend. He was affectionately known as “DJ”, “D”, and from his wife, “baby”. He was loved by so many and will greatly be missed.

Daemien´s life verse is Joshua 1:9. “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

OBITUARIES

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | June 22, 2022

OBITUARIES Places of Worship GRAVE MARKERS AND MONUMENTS Grave markers, headstones, and monuments are lasting memorials to our loved ones. Purchasing them can be an overwhelming and emotional experience, especially if it is being made during a difficult time. However, it can also be a rewarding experience. Grave markers come in various colors, styles, and materials.

The funeral home of your choosing is the best option for purchasing grave markers and monuments. Funeral homes are well versed in the requirements for each cemetery since they have rules and regulations that govern the size, material, and types of markers they permit on their grounds, which can vary from cemetery to cemetery.

The funeral home will contact the cemetery directly to ensure all requirements have been met.

What can make the selection of a grave marker challenging is the wide range of styles, colors, and materials that are available. Having many choices is good as it allows you to create a memorial that truly reflects the personality of the deceased and expresses the impact he or she made on the lives of those who cared for them.

To learn more about the funeral services at MOSER FUNERAL HOME, please call (540) 347-3431. We welcome you to stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton.
