For some long-suffering residents, the wait for Elon Musk’s satellite internet is over By Christopher Connell

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

For Marylyn and Michael Paige, internet service at their home in Delaplane near Little Cobbler Mountain “has always been awful,” even when they paid a premium for the fastest service satellite company Viasat offered, she said. “You’d get cut off if you were trying to stream a movie, especially on a weekend.” That changed a few weeks ago when a FedEx truck delivered a box for which they’d waited more than a year. It contained a 19-inch, 9-lb. rectangular Starlink dish that cost them $599, plus $94 in shipping and taxes. The monthly charge for the service is $110. “It’s like magic. It’s wonderful,” said Paige, a real estate agent who hired a contractor to put the receiver on her roof. The dish has an unobstructed view of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites passing overhead just

Remington set for competitive mayoral election Former Vice Mayor Devada Allison to challenge Interim Mayor Bill Polk By Coy Ferrell

Remington could be poised for the most competitive town election in recent memory. Two men with vastly different visions for the mayoral role are competing for the position in the first election since longtime Mayor Gerald Billingsley died early last year. Bill Polk, whom the town council

upon. They are “parked” in a fixed spot above the continent, moving in sync with the planet. Each Starlink satellite, by contrast, speeds across

the northern horizon above Fauquier in 10 minutes, transiting the globe in 90 minutes. It uses lasers to transmit signals to the next satellite behind it and delivers download speeds of 50 to 250 megabits per second to customers like the Paiges. HughesNet offers 25 megabit service, and Viasat has packages that vary from 12 to 150 megabits, but both impose caps on how much data customers can download each month. Starlink has no caps. Starlink, part of Musk’s SpaceX rocket company, boasts a constellation of nearly 2,000 small satellites. It has permission from the Federal Communications Commission to launch 3,000 more and aims eventually to put 42,000 in low earth orbit. It now claims 400,000 subscribers and reaches 36 countries.

Supervisors to vote on applications to fund intersection improvements Of the 4 applications being considered, 3 involve roundabouts Fauquier Times Staff Writer

D W INC HE STE R R OA D The Corner Store at Old Tavern

Supervisors plan to apply for funding to improve four intersections through the state’s Smart Scale program, which pays for road improvements requested by local governments; the grants don’t require a local funding match. Applications are scored and ranked based on the projects’ potential to enhance safety and traffic flow, and the Commonwealth Transportation Board uses those data points to select projects for funding. Applications approved this year will receive funding in 2028. Supervisors earlier this year approved a list of five projects to submit for pre-application review, and a community development staff report recommends submitting three of those projects as “full applications” before the August deadline. A public hearing will be held before supervisors vote on the Smart Scale applications Thursday. The first application would add a roundabout at the intersection of Catlett Road (Va. 28) and Old Dumfries Road (Route 667) in Catlett. The second would add a roundabout on Catlett Road (Va. 28) next to Grace Miller Elementary School at the intersection of Station Drive and Bengü Gerek Avenue (Route 853) in Bealeton. A third application would construct a roundabout at the intersection of Dumfries Road (Route 605) and Greenwich Road (Route 603) south of Vint Hill. More uncertain is a fourth application, which would request funding to improve the intersection of U.S. 17 and Old Tavern Road (Route 245) and Enon Church Road (Route 703) between Marshall and Warrenton. A recent Virginia Department of Transportation study of eight possible intersection improvements narrowed down supervisors’ feasible options to two: a “split intersection” or a “re-

Supervisors could vote to apply for funding to implement one of two options to improve safety at the intersection of U.S. 17 and Old Tavern Road. Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District), however, said that he supports moving forward with short-term improvements first. stricted crossing U-turn” design. Alternatively, supervisors could choose to drop any application related to the Old Tavern intersection. Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District), whose district encompasses the eastern side of the intersection, said Monday that he does not plan to support either concept as part of this year’s application cycle. Despite extensive public outreach and a town-hall style meeting on the issue, “There’s not clear indication from the public that either one of them is preferable,” Trumbo said. And, he added, “I’m not convinced, based on what I’ve seen from [the Virginia Department of Transportation], that either one of them really solves the problem.” The “split intersection” design would make Old Winchester Road (Route 845) a one-way road; all southbound traffic on Old Tavern Road would be directed on Old Winchester Road to its intersection with U.S. 17, where that traffic could turn left (south) or right (north) onto the highway. “If pursued, this concept could be implemented relatively quickly

and provide for potential safety improvements in less time, possibly within 12 to 24 months,” the staff report said. “While left turn conflicts remain, those conflicts would be under conditions that would have strong potential to improve driver decisions and reduce crashes.” Implementing an R-CUT design would direct drivers wishing to turn left (southbound) onto U.S. 17 to first turn right (northbound) onto the highway and make a U-turn at the Old Winchester Road crossover. Trumbo pointed to a list of measures VDOT plans to implement in the short term. Without having time to consider the efficiency of those measures — rumble strips on Old Tavern Road and “optical speed bars” and “warning flashers” on U.S. 17 are among them — he can’t justify applying money to make changes to the intersection that don’t enjoy widespread support from the public, Trumbo said. “I think that what they are trying to do is slow people down approaching the intersection,” Trumbo said of the planned VDOT measures.

July 14 meeting

The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors will convene Thursday at the Warren Green Building in Warrenton for its monthly work session and regular meeting, which includes public hearings. Work sessions begin at 11 a.m., and the regular meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. The full agenda and other information about the meeting can be found at fauquiercounty.gov/ government/agendas.

Supervisors will consider Thursday a pared-down application to amend a 2018 rezoning agreement for a now-vacant, 10acre commercial property located behind the Polo Station strip mall in the Bealeton “town center” district. A public hearing will be held this week before an expected vote, which was originally scheduled for last month. In May, the planning commission unanimously rejected an application to add a car wash, RV storage and 10,000 square feet of self-storage space to the 80,000 square feet of self-storage already allowed under rezoning agreements approved in 2008, 2015 and 2018. Commissioners cited concerns about the additional allowances’ compatibility with the comprehensive plan’s vision for the commercial center of Bealeton. The application has been revised since the planning commission’s vote, and some controversial elements — including allowances for a car wash and additional self-storage space — have been removed. If approved Thursday, the agreement would allow RV storage on the property and outline requirements for landscaping, street placement and building design. “I want to hear what the public has to say, but [I] generally support the changes made to the application that addressed some of the concerns of the planning commission,” Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District) said in a text message Monday. “I’m glad to see another business investing in the Lee District.” HOW TO REACH US

Haymarket transmission tower route decision has parallels in Fauquier By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Amazon wants electricity for a new data center. Dominion Energy is making plans to build 230kV transmission lines to power it. Resi-

dents worry that the power lines will be unsightly and will decrease their property values. Dominion proposes multiple routes for the transmission lines, and one includes an underground portion. Residents vow to “fight”, and ask, “Why can’t Ama-

zon be made to pay for at least part of the project?” It could be Fauquier County, right now. But the scenario also describes the fall of 2014 in Prince William County, the start of a nearly fouryear effort waged by residents there

to stop or re-route power lines for an Amazon site in Haymarket. As in Haymarket, a coalition of suburban residents – this one called ProtectFauquier – has formed to oppose power lines planned for an Amazon data center in Warrenton. A petition to bury all the transmission lines has gathered nearly 1,500 signatures. People are gearing up to try to stop the power lines, or even stop the data center itself. But the record shows that they may be facing a lengthy, frustrating, expensive and often unpredictable experience – where solutions can come as often See TOWERS, page 6

For some long-suffering residents, the wait for Elon Musk’s satellite internet is over STARLINK, from page 1 When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Musk shipped thousands of dishes — some he donated and others purchased by the U.S. government — to the war-torn country where both the military and the civilian government put them to immediate use, from directing artillery to restoring communications where the invaders destroyed infrastructure. It was through Starlink that the besieged fighters in the Mariupol steel plant were able to send videos out to the world. Ukraine got those dishes a lot faster than would-be Starlink customers in Fauquier and most of the Eastern United States, who face monthslong waits for the equipment. Factory bottlenecks may be a factor, but there is also limited capacity on the small satellites. Starlink’s coverage map shows half the United States is at capacity, and people must wait their turn. Celeste Vella, who conducts her commercial real estate practice from her home in The Plains, got tired of waiting and just signed up for what Starlink calls its RV service. It’s more expensive — $135 a month — but the hardware arrives in a week and allows customers to use it immediately, but at slower speeds. Even so, her IT consultant told her, “It would be ten times better than what you have with HughesNet,” which slows speeds down from 25 megabits to three megabits after customers exhaust their data cap. Vella hired Jim Cookson, owner of Sat-Man Communications, to attach the Starlink dish to her roof to ensure an unobstructed view of the sky. But even before that, Vella had faster internet with the dish simply sitting on the ground in her backyard. “All these programs everybody was talking about – Bridgerton, Ozark – all of a sudden we can get,” said Vella, an equestrian who also has been binging on horse shows streamed from near and far. “That little piece of equipment really has changed our lives.” Musk, the brash billionaire behind SpaceX and Tesla electric cars, has demonstrated a remarkable ability to achieve what he sets out to do. Analysts have speculated that if Starlink can successfully build its satellite constellation and customer base, the steady cash flow will help Musk realize plans that include planting a colony on Mars. But there are obstacles to be overcome, including concerns raised by competitor Viasat with the FCC that Musk’s constellation of satellites with five-year life expectancies would exacerbate the problem of space debris and raise the threat of collisions. Hughes, which has more than 1 million customers, expects to double its capacity with the launch of a third Jupiter satellite later this year. Mark Whymer, senior vice president for North American sales and marketing, said the company is working to reduce congestion and offer faster service with more data. Viasat spokesman Carlos Mangandy said its five home-internet plans give consumers options to meet their speed and data needs, whether streaming movies or just surfing the internet. Its next-generation Viasat-3 constellation of satellites is expected to deliver downloads in the hundreds of megabits, with each satellite delivering one terabit of data per second. But high-orbit satellites face the challenge of latency, which is how long it takes data to make a 46,000-mile roundtrip versus a 600-mile one. It can take geostationary satellites a half-second (500 milliseconds) to deliver data, compared to 20 milliseconds for Starlink. “If you and your friend are in Quick Draw” – a video game – “and he’s on fiber and you’re on satellite, you’re probably going to get shot,” ac-

knowledged Whymer. Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who hunts for black holes, says light from low-orbiting satellites poses environmental problems. “You’re looking up at the sky trying to see stars and suddenly you see these bright satellites going overhead,” said McDowell, who in his spare time tracks objects in space and posts statistics on his website planet4589.org. (Mike Puchol, another space tracker, has an eye-catching display of Starlink orbital paths at https://starlink.sx/) While it is unclear whether it is possible to have safe orbits for all the satellites companies want to send up, McDowell said, financial viability is also a question. “The economics of this are still murky. Over the years, there have been various space commercialization efforts that have been successful at first and then the ground-based competitor has caught up in technology,” he said. Fiber to the home beats the speeds any satellite can offer. Fauquier has spent millions of its own and state broadband funds to try to put high speed internet within reach of every home and business in the county, but that work is unfinished. Cedar Run District Supervisor Rick Gerhardt, who has spearheaded that drive, signed up as a beta user of Starlink last year and has kept the service at his farm as a back-up despite now having Comcast Business Internet. “Currently, I use Starlink exclusively to stream Sling and YouTube TV on one of our TVs. I have also used it for video conferencing and voice over IP. The Starlink service is excellent, providing speeds better that 120 Mbps down and 30 Mbps

up consistently. Better than any other WISPs (wireless internet service providers) in our area that I am aware of,” Gerhardt said. “Assuming they get the supply chain kinks worked out and start shipping units again, no question this service is a viable option for Fauquier residents. However, nothing compares to fiber, and fiber to unserved/underserved areas of Fauquier is the ultimate goal,” Gerhardt said. Bruce Geisert of Flint Hill, a semi-retired IT expert, co-moderates a Facebook Starlink support group for Fauquier and Rappahannock residents and has full confidence in Musk’s ability to make his satellite system successful for the long run. “His design is genius,” said Geisert, who worked on global internet projects for the U.S. State Department. “I will trade off having less of a sky view for better internet.” But Geisert admitted Starlink is “definitely a black hole for customer support” with no live agents and not even a phone number to call with problems. Katie Butler, the other co-moderator, said that while most people have been getting good results, “some have had to go to stronger means to get them to respond, like contacting the FCC.” Butler thinks she and her husband would stick with Starlink even if fiber came to her part of southern Fauquier. But she also wishes there was a more affordable option “for people who can’t at the drop of a dime pay $600 to start it up and the monthly $110.” Cookson, the Sat-Man, advertises on his website that “when you deal with us, there are no faceless 800 numbers.” He installs home theaters, cell phone boosters, Wi-Fi networks and other technology, with calls for his services from as far away as Richmond. Putting Starlink receivers atop homes and barns is just part of his work, but he is an enthusiast after installing about two dozen to beta users last year and upwards of 70 this spring and summer. “I like making people happy,” he said. People will spare no expense for good internet, especially since the pandemic forced many to work from home and kids to do their schoolwork from kitchen tables and library parking lots. Steve Tanner, a neighbor of Celeste Vella, paid $2,000 to have a surplus telephone pole erected outside his home to put up an antenna for better wireless internet reception. Service is still spotty, he said. “We can count on it to go out while watching Netflix.” In the meantime, new Starlink customer Marylyn Paige feels her prayers have been answered. “We’ve just gone to heaven,” she said.

Haymarket transmission tower route decision has parallels in Fauquier TOWERS, from page 3 from politicians as from the state’s approval process. It won’t be the first time in Fauquier, either. From 2013 to 2016, people living north and west of Warrenton fought several routes proposed by Dominion to run 230kV lines to improve what the power company called “reliability.” After three years of effort and $100,000 in legal costs, the residents got what they considered a satisfactory routing from the State Corporation Commission, which rules on such matters. The eventual decision involved removing and replacing existing towers with larger ones in the southern part of of the county, between Remington and Warrenton. But those power lines were not headed to a data center. These are. And one lesson from the Haymarket case is that the presence of a bulk-load customer like Amazon in a power line case can only complicate the issues.

The Haymarket power lines

The Haymarket case was launched in 2014. An Amazon subsidiary, VAData, had one operating data center near the junction of John Marshall Highway and U.S. 15, but notified Dominion that it planned to build two more buildings next door and would need more power. Dominion mapped out several possible routes to bring 230kV of power to the Amazon site and began to collect public comments. In November 2015, Dominion applied to the SCC to build one of the lines, to be chosen by the SCC. That launched a contentious process that included seven public hearings and courtroom-like drama before a hearing examiner, who made rulings to be considered by the full commission. Dominion’s plans met heavy opposition from the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, which grew bigger and stronger as the case progressed. It was joined by the Somerset Crossing Homeowners Association, whose residents would be able to see power lines if they were built along Interstate 66, and four other organizations. Questions swirled: Were the transmission lines really needed? If so, what was the best route? What would the routes cost? And should Amazon pay part of the expense? And yet, after two and a half years of legal argument, some parties say the issues of whether the lines were really needed and whether Amazon should pay were never decided. That’s because the case was ended by legislation and a compromise. What was clearly decided was the route, but that was a tortured process. On the one hand, it was thorough, considering opinions from hundreds of affected residents, utilities experts and the SCC’s legal staff. On the other hand, the SCC commissioners ignored the advice of their own staff, chose two routes that were doomed from the start, and once they ruled, they then agreed to reconsider their decision. Dominion had originally considered as many as 10 possible routes to

A map shows possible routes of 230 kV transmission lines to Blackwell Road from a substation east of Vint Hill (“Wheeler Sub”) and from a substation on Meetze Road (“Warrenton Sub”). The route on the western boundary of Warrenton was originally considered but is now off the table, according to a Dominion Energy representative. get power to Amazon, but winnowed the list to five roughly parallel options, from Gainesville to the Haymarket site. The lengths ranged from five to seven miles depending on the route. Because Dominion likes to run its lines along existing infrastructure, at the start Dominion favored a route that ran alongside the tracks of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad, according to Dominion senior counsel David DePippo. But trouble loomed for that route, as Prince William County owned easements along the railroad and showed no inclination to give them up. By May 2016, the SCC had held five sessions at Battlefield High School to hear from residents, who generally opposed overhead lines that they could see. The SCC’s legal staff listened, and on Aug. 5, 2016, they filed a brief that said the SCC should choose one of two routes that ran along I-66. The cheaper one would put power lines in the view of local residents. But the other, a socalled “hybrid” route, would bury the lines along the three miles closest to people’s homes.

Could Amazon pay?

That would be expensive, the staff wrote, but the SCC should look at making Amazon pay for part of it. After all, the staff wrote, “were it not for the customer’s request, the project would not be needed at all for the foreseeable future.” The commission, it said, could interpret Dominion’s own internal policies to require Amazon to “put some of its own skin in the game.” Dominion said that the hybrid route would cost $167 million, or three times the overhead route. DePippo said cost is always an issue when running lines, and that Dominion and the SCC try to reduce the costs to ratepayers who will bear them. But Dominion’s critics say the company, in wanting to expand its business, is happy to extend lines because ratepayers pick up the tab. In this case, Dominion also rejected the idea that its rules could be interpreted to make Amazon pay. But with residents opposing the I-66 overhead route, and the I-66 hybrid route estimated to cost $167 million, the SCC’s hearing officer, on Nov. 15, 2016, seized on a new option called the Carver Road route. Elena Schlossberg,

executive director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, called it an idea “out of left field.” The Carver Route immediately proved problematic: It sliced through an historic Black community, and its residents said the plan was discriminatory and violated the federal Civil Rights Act. The next month Schlossberg’s Coalition filed a brief, arguing the Carver idea should be dropped, that the hybrid route was best, and that Amazon should pay a significant portion of the costs to build the line. After five more months of wrangling, on April 5, 2017, the SCC issued an interim order. Ignoring the recommendations of its legal staff, it ruled: The railroad route was still best, and if Prince William County would not allow the railroad route, the Carver Route was the next best choice. The Carver route had the least impact on residences and the environment, it said. It also said that Amazon should not have to pay for the costs of the transmission lines to its data center. On June 5, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors sent a letter to DePippo at Dominion. The supervisors had met, the letter said, and would not enable the railroad route, were fully opposed to the Carver Road route and had voted unanimously for the hybrid route. Despite that, Dominion wrote to the SCC that it wanted to go ahead with the Carver Road route. Eighteen days later, on June 23, 2017, the SCC issued a final order. Noting that Prince William County would not allow the railroad route, it said Dominion should build the Carver route. The final order did not address the issue of whether Amazon should pay. The coalition responded on July 13, 2017, by asking the SCC to reconsider. First, it said, the transmission lines were not even needed. It cited Amazon’s own attorneys in saying that the expansion might never take place, and even if a second building were built, the first two buildings would do fine with their current power. (County GIS now shows that a second building has been built.) The argument reopened the question of whether, if the hybrid route were built, Amazon should pay for it. And it said the Carver Road route was

open to legal challenge. The following week, the county handed the coalition $30,000 to help its lobbying efforts. The next day, the SCC asked Dominion whether it would really be able to build the Carver Road route. Dominion reported that it did not have the county’s cooperation for that and asked that the commission authorize the I-66 overhead route instead. (This, essentially, took the process back to where it was a year earlier.) As the year progressed, Dominion and its opponents filed new motions with new information – Dominion proposing new variations on its routes and the coalition arguing that the routes should not even be built. By the end of the year (Dec. 6, 2017), the commission sent the whole case back for more hearings. The hearings produced new cost estimates: for the I-66 overhead route, $51 million; for the I-66 hybrid route, $172 million.

A legislative solution

By now, several state legislators had weighed in, writing letters and testifying at the SCC hearings. As the process moved into 2018, thenDel. Tim Hugo (R-40th) sought a solution. He introduced a bill to create a “pilot program” to include a hybrid route for Dominion transmission lines along I-66. Meanwhile, the coalition, Somerset and Dominion were talking settlement. Hugo’s proposal was signed into law March 9, 2018, and the settlement followed. Under its terms, Dominion would build the hybrid route along I-66, and the coalition and the Somerset Crossing Homeowners Association would stop arguing that the transmission line was not needed in the first place. On June 12, the SCC approved the settlement and directed that the 5.3-mile hybrid route be built with 3.1 miles of it, the part closest to residential homes, put underground. Power line construction was finished by March 31, 2022, according to Dominion. Why settle? “The coalition decided that our ultimate goal was to protect the community first and foremost, even though we felt very strongly that these bulk load customers should be made to pay,” said Schlossberg. Dominion takes the position that the SCC settled the question of whether a commercial customer could be made to pay, or partially pay, for high-powered transmission lines to its facility. “It’s in an order, and it’s binding,” said DePippo, referring to the commission’s interim order. “I don’t read anything into that it’s not in the final order.” But Schlossberg and others argue that the matter is far from settled. They note it was not in the final order; the matter had been remanded back for more consideration and that the SCC process was on hold when they signed the settlement. “They can say what they want, but the reality is, it was left in limbo,” Schlossberg said. She said she hoped some future party would take the matter to the state Supreme Court. “We’ve laid the breadcrumb trail for you,” she said.

Coleman Elementary School reading specialist Lisa Larkin reads to children she taught when they were in kindergarten at P.B. Smith Elementary School.

asked her to contact other parents for the Friday book day in the park. Larkin read “Nanette’s Baguette,” by Mo Willems, about a child whose mother sends her to the bakery to buy a baguette. Larkin brought snacks for the kids —baguettes, of course. Some of the students brought their own books. Landen brought “Twerp,” by Mark Goldblatt, a sto-

member a teacher ever doing this,” she said. “She’s one of a kind. She’s got a very loving perspective as far as her approach to children.” Larkin was happy to catch up with the children and their parents. “This was the best day ever,” Larkin said as the last parents left with their children.

proach things. I think the way you’re approaching things is rubbing people the wrong way,” he said. Allison said that he wants to return the mayoral role to the model exemplified by Billingsley, a soft-spoken civics teacher who served as Remington’s mayor for most of three decades. “Gerry, before his passing, was great at that,” Allison said. “He always was willing to listen to anybody who had a concern. I had a lot of respect for him. … He always did it with such grace.” Allison was approached by some members of the town council who asked him to run, he said. “The biggest reason I’m running is because I’ve been asked by folks in town to do so,” Allison said, “because they’re not happy with the way things are going.” In a separate interview, Polk argued that his brand of advocacy will help usher in what he

children. He wants the upcoming election to serve as a referendum on those initiatives. Devada Allison, who until last year served on the town council and as the vice mayor, is challenging him. While he emphasized repeatedly that he is not opposed to beneficial changes to the town, Allison said that he is running, in part, because he feels that Polk has used his position to advocate for wide-ranging policy changes — changes that he argues should originate with the town council. “Whoever is in that seat, whether it’s me or whether it’s him, they need to understand that position is one of representation of Remington, not one to push an agenda,” Allison said in a recent phone interview. He said that he has been strongly considering running since shortly after Billingsley’s death.

As her former students arrived at Rady Park, former P.B. Smith Elementary kindergarten teacher Lisa Larkin greeted them with hugs before they all settled into the grass to read a book together. There was no special occasion. “I just missed them,” Larkin said Friday as she hugged Landen Fairchild, 11, a rising sixth-grader. “I’m their kindergarten teacher.” Larkin taught kindergarten at P.B. Smith Elementary School for 15 years before moving to Coleman Elementary School, where she is now a reading specialist. About a dozen of her former P.B. Smith kindergarten students, now rising fourth, fifth and sixth graders, met up with Larkin after the teacher decided a week ago it would be fun to see the children again. “It gives my heart joy,” she said. “This is what it’s about,” she said of teaching. “It’s the connections.” She sent word out to one parent and

called a “course direction correction.” He acknowledged that the mayor in Remington has little formal power beyond chairing council meetings and breaking tie votes. But, “I’m not that type of mayor, as you well know,” he said. “I forewarned the council when they appointed me mayor. I understand the definition of a ‘weak’ mayor [under Virginia law], but I’m not that kind of a person,” he elaborated. “I believe I have the power of persuasion and influence, and I will use that.” Both men emphasized their concern for the wishes of residents, both those living within town limits and in the “community at large.” (There are several neighborhoods and subdivisions surrounding Remington that do not lie within town limits.)

Mold levels at oxygen therapy center are normal, new report shows By Colleen LaMay

How harmful is mold?

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A West Shirley Avenue building that is the subject of two lawsuits alleging potentially unhealthy levels of mold received a clean bill of health after drywall was replaced and other mold remediation was completed. A recent mold inspection conducted by Madison Taylor Indoor Environmental found “all visible mold growth has been removed” and, “Interior and exterior air samples using a spore trap indicates below ambient levels of airborne mold spores within the inspected portions of the building.” Carriage Lane Complex LLC, is the landlord of the building at 170 W. Shirley Ave. Carriage Lane Complex, along with Warrenton Oxygen Wellness, a tenant in the building, both have paid Madison Taylor for mold inspections. Both also filed separate lawsuits against another tenant, Fresenius Kidney Care Warrenton in 2021. The lawsuits alleged that water leaks in the dialysis center caused potentially toxic molds, including black molds, to grow to unhealthy levels. A co-owner of Warrenton Oxygen Wellness, which provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy, was happy with the results, but is not convinced the building will remain safe. “We don’t know if the landlord has taken steps to correct the mold issues that caused the problems in the first place,” said Ralph Crafts, co-owner of Warrenton Oxygen Wellness, 170 W. Shirley Ave., Suite 101. “We certainly want periodic tests or inspections to make sure we don’t have to go through this again,” he added. The report by Madison Taylor, which serves the greater Washington, D.C. area, recommends that if a “water event” occurs, the wet area must be properly dried to prevent additional growth of mold and bacteria. It recommends avoiding drastic changes in temperature inside the building and keeping the relative humidity below 50%. Fresenius, one of the largest providers of dialysis in the United States, denied its dialysis center ever had a problem with leaking water or mold. Its own mold inspector found no evidence of excessive mold. “Our independent experts never found any elevated levels of airborne mold and determined

Ralph Crafts at Warrenton Oxygen Wellness there were no health concerns,” spokesperson Brad Puffer said in a statement July 5. “The water-impacted walls on the Fresenius Kidney Care side have been removed,” he said. Dialysis is a treatment for people whose kidneys are failing, and water is a key component of the treatment. “Water is a critical part of delivering life-sustaining dialysis therapy to our patients, and we regularly inspect our equipment to identify problems before they become an issue,” said Puffer, who declined further comment. The town of Warrenton will inspect areas that had required replacing drywall before closing a permit for work inside the building. Building inspectors for the town were made aware of possible mold issues in the summer of 2021. “If there were high levels of fungal growth, we could have closed … the entire building, but we didn’t want to do that,” said Bob Walton, director of community development for the town of Warrenton. Doing so would have created hardships for dialysis patients and others in the building, Walton said. Both lawsuits remain in play as WOW and Carriage Lane Complex seek to recover monetary damages. “We haven’t waived any of our rights to proceed for any damages for it taking 14 months for this situation to be resolved,” Crafts said. The new business has spent $20,000 a month on legal fees, Crafts said. WOW provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy – breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment to treat a range of illnesses and injuries, including burns, injuries, long COVID and oth-

• No federal or state laws set “safe” levels of airborne mold or mold spores. • The most common indoor molds are Cladosporium, Penicillum and Aspergillus. • Exposure to damp and moldy spaces may cause a variety of health effects, or none. • People most vulnerable to illness from mold are those with chronic lung conditions such as asthma and those with compromised immune systems. • Chaetomium mold spores are among the most harmful to humans. • All molds should be treated the same with respect to potential health risks and removal. — U.S. CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION AND JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY

er serious infections. All of WOW’s clients have compromised immune systems, Crafts said. Carriage Lane Complex’s attorney is encouraged by the Madison Taylor report. “As far as we know, the leaks have been taken care of, and the tenant is actively dealing with any spills, but we are going to be requesting the tenant’s cooperation with voluntary follow-up testing,” said Fred Kruck, attorney for the property owners. The trouble began In May 2021, after WOW moved into a suite that shares a wall with the dialysis center. WOW’s owners discovered that water had leaked through a shared wall with the back room of the dialysis center, according to the lawsuit. A construction worker uncovered water leaking into Warrenton Oxygen Wellness from the Fresenius dialysis center, according to the lawsuits. That led to the discovery of extensive mold growth between the walls that separate the two businesses. The landlord’s emergency inspection showed that water came from plumbing fixtures and storage tanks in the Fresenius center, WOW’s lawsuit against the dialysis center says. WOW removed drywall and baseboard from the wall it shares with the dialysis center. “WOW discovered that the wall insulation and drywall on the defendant’s side of WOW’s wall were covered in black mold,” the lawsuit says.

Remington set for competitive mayoral election REMINGTON, from page 8 According to Allison, that concern for residents should take the form of being a neutral sounding board for public input. “I want to make sure every voice is heard and everybody has a chance to speak about any kind of issue they have in town,” he said. Polk’s tenure so far, Allison said, has involved “a lot of back-door politicking.” Even if intentions are good, such advocacy from the mayor sends the wrong message, Allison argued. “It doesn’t send a clear message that someone there has the best interest of the town. It turns into a ‘me, me, me’ mentality.” For Polk, concern for fulfilling the vision of the people who call Remington home should mean that the mayor is an outspoken advocate for overcoming — as he characterized it — the lack of economic and administrative progress during the past three decades. This election, he said, should act essentially as a referendum on his “revitalization for a destination” pro-

gram, which he has said would entail pursing an aggressive grant application strategy to fund initiatives like redirecting traffic traveling through downtown and creating new and safer pedestrian routes — especially between residential areas and Grace Miller Elementary School, located just outside town limits. An engineering study to determine the feasibility of some of the proposals is scheduled to be completed next month, Polk said. Polk also wants to capitalize on a newly opened park, the county-owned Rector Tract on the Rappahannock River, to invite visitors into town after a day on the water. One of his ideas to do that — recently approved by a close town council vote — is to allow golf carts on some streets to encourage river visitors to spend time and money downtown. “I think [this election] sets the tone for: Do we continue to do the same thing we’ve done for the past 30 years, or do we do a course correction and move into a definable direction?” Polk said. “And it’s largely going to

be dependent on the outcome of this election,” he added, arguing that the “revitalization” programs would help invigorate one of the lowest-income parts of the county. “I bring opportunities to the council. The revitalization for a destination is an example. And I brought the golf carts,” said Polk. “I bring something different to the table, and I think a lot of people think it’s refreshing.” Polk also said that he plans to endorse a slate of six town council candidates who share his vision for Remington’s future, although he declined to specify which candidates he will endorse. Allison said that the council and mayor should not intertwine their interests. “I don’t feel like there should be a mayor in office with his own council,” Allison argued. “I think that would be very detrimental to the town. I think that would corrupt the system and what it stands for.” Reach Coy Ferrell at cferrell@ fauquier.com

Culpeper man dies in crash, ‘medical emergency’ a factor Staff Report A single-vehicle crash July 11 that killed a 41-year-old Culpeper man and seriously injured four others may have been caused by a “medical emergency,” according to a Virginia State Police statement Tuesday morning. David Kirby died at the crash scene on Vint Hill Road near the intersection with Broad Run Church Road, just north of Vint Hill. A 36-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man, a 17-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy were seriously injured, according to the state police. Neither Kirby nor any of the passengers were wearing seat belts. Kirby was driving a 2000 F-350 east on Vint Hill Road when the truck “crossed a double solid centerline, ran off the left side of the roadway and collided with a tree,” the state police said. The crash remains under investigation.

Youngkin welcomes SPARC Research’s new rocket design and manufacturing facility SPARC hopes to add 45 to 50 new engineering, manufacturing jobs By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and a contingent of Fauquier County officials on Friday welcomed a new office and manufacturing facility for SPARC Research, a rocket technology company. When it is at full

capacity, the Vint Hill site could add up to 50 new aerospace engineering and manufacturing jobs, the company’s president said. SPARC Research first opened in Vint Hill in 2018 and invested $2.5 million to expand to the new location on 4.5 acres at nearby 5310 Edmore Court. The new building has 20,000 square feet, roughly half for offices and half for manufacturing.

Fauquier Times | July 13, 2022

Captain Copper and the Broad Run dubloons We all know that treasure can mean different things to different people — the good news is that my son Teddy and I found some treasure, the bad news is that it wasn’t morel mushrooms. The taunting payload odes on social media have died down now, and I’m ready to admit defeat. I looked in all the right places, at all the right times; I battled with pollen, toddlers and ticks. I wrestled my own waning enthusiasm and stepped in poop more than once. The mushrooms mocked me this year. Played hard to get. It kinda felt personal. My husband (who is not even funny) read my last mushroom-flavored column and said, “You should have called it ‘The morel of the story.’” I now believe that the mushrooms rebelled against me for missing that pun in my newsprint debut, a sort of savory rebellion, an umami uprising if you will. Depressing. So, moving on, and speaking of rebels, I want to talk about my 3-year-old. Theodore, Teddy or “Bug,” as he is known in certain circles, is one of those endlessly brave and adventurous kids who is pandemic-raised, cage-free and utterly “Theodorable.” We have a fenced-in acre around our house, so even though it’s a pretty controlled environment (and I’m a pretty controlling parent), he’s explored his environment with a lot of independence. But it turns out a four-foot fence is no match for a three-foot dictator, and this Montessori story escalated into a hostile takeover at an alarming rate. We enrolled him in pre-k recently. Frankly, another week of ferrel homelife and we’d have missed our window to get him in shoes, let alone school. He’s loving the classroom. He’s retained the

Found in Fauquier By H. Wheeler bravery, ingenuity and independence, but can also sit still for circle time, although he does still chase squirrels I am told. And when he’s not in school, he’s home and doing what he loves best — making mountains out of molehills and/or digging for treasure with his Mum. The other day, while trying to retrieve an angry cat from under the side porch, we discovered a copper mine. In between the layers of baked mud, we began to unearth coins, scores of them, frozen mid-cascade like pocket money on the ledge of a boardwalk arcade machine. The kid and I can go from inanimate to Indiana Jones in 0 to 60, and we did just that. We found: worms, iron nails, pennies and rotting wood. We lost: a trowel, two fingernails and track of time. As we dug, we began to see a pattern. The nails were attached to the wood in places; the pennies were stuck within the collapsed confines of the failed shape. Eventually, there was a pendant, nothing fancy, but definitely treasure. We realized we had found someone’s rotten and forgotten treasure box, and that our copper mine was its contents — spilled and baked in decades of poured Virginia sunshine. Teddy and I were triumphant. We spent nearly three hours quietly excavating, celebrating, scrubbing, researching and learning. We did have to pause in order to issue lifetime bans to some very low-enthusiasm people, who are no longer welcome at our treasure club. (The Picky Pirates -- Est. 2022, membership closed.) When we resumed, we found that

the pennies were all dated between 1960 and 1987, so not ancient history or museum worthy… but ... Google told us that certain minting errors made during some of these years were hugely valuable, and the internet never lies. In fact, we learned that in 1966, there was a “no printmark mint error,” and numerous unsold listings from unidentified overseas sellers valued some of our coins at $5,000 to $8,000. Further, by being very selective, we were able to find proof that every single penny we found was rare and valuable. My anti-virus software kept warning me about the authenticity certifications of the sites I was visiting, which was a bit of a buzz kill, but we were jubilant, nonetheless. Teddy is a fantastic

helper and watching him, this applied and focused was so much fun. What had begun as a chore to retrieve an angry cat had turned into an adventure. We had found treasure, but (see above): treasure means something different to everyone. For this mother of a toddler, it wasn’t about riches and fortune. The real treasure unearthed in this tale was the time I spent exploring our backyard with my son – mainly because he was too invested in adventure to try and clean the windows with ham slices, or pee on the dog.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Call it what it is: Censorship Recently, I read with interest the Fauquier Times article titled “Some parents want Kettle Run library to remove 3 books they see as pornographic, violent,” dated July 6. The local chapter of Moms for Liberty indicates it is targeting three books for removal. Our school libraries have a policy in place for parents to ensure their own children can’t check out books they find “offensive, or otherwise inappropriate for their children.” It seems like a good solution, but that’s not enough for Moms for Liberty. Amie Bowman, treasurer for the Fauquier County chapter of Moms for Liberty, proclaims “the books are inappropriate for all students.” I’m always a bit suspicious when an organization becomes the self-appointed censors of what

is good for other people, or other people’s children. Somehow, they not only know what is right for themselves, but also for everyone else. They know more than the library staff, and they know more than the other parents. We should all be so skilled. We all know that historically, both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Communists banned books in their respective countries. As a soldier who stood against Communism in the ’80s, and the son of a soldier who fought the Nazis in WWII, I didn’t think I would need to stand up against censorship right here in Fauquier County. Unfortunately, it appears that is where we are. MAX N. HALL Marshall

Youngkin welcomes SPARC Research’s new rocket design and manufacturing facility SPARC, from page 11 In its new location, SPARC will increase its engineering capabilities and will be able to manufacture rocket-motor components for defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies. “To build a business is so exciting,” Youngkin said Friday. “This facility is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see manufacturing and testing and all of the things that come with this great ambition that you have.” A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday drew dignitaries including Youngkin, state Deputy Secretary of Labor Nicole Riley and Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D-31st) as well as Fauquier County supervisors Holder Trumbo (Scott District) and Chris Granger (Center District) and Doug Parsons, director of the Fauquier County Department of Economic Development. “I know that people in Fauquier County are excited for what it means to have SPARC here and

for SPARC to call Fauquier County their home,” Guzman said. More well-paying local jobs means fewer people will face long commutes to secure high-tech jobs outside the county, she said. Matt Cornwell, president of SPARC, said the employee-owned company has doubled the number of people it employs every year since 2018. It now has 21 full-time employees in addition to a handful of consultants. SPARC’s goal is to eventually more than double the number of mechanical and aerospace en-

gineers, along with other highly skilled workers and support staff, to about 50. Manufacturing could add another 20 positions, Cornwell said. In addition, SPARC hires student interns from a wide range of universities and colleges, including Virginia Tech, Cornwell said. “This year, we have four interns, and we have a good track record of hiring those interns full time as we grow.” Virginia competed with West Virginia and Maryland to attract SPARC. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership and Fauquier County worked together to bring SPARC here and will help support new jobs at SPARC through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, Parsons said. “They’re adding jobs, and they’re very good-paying jobs that will increase the average wage of the county,” Parsons said. “This is a target industry for us.” Not only does SPARC create jobs, but it also will pay taxes, reducing the tax burden on residents, he said.

WAYLAND, BYNAKER NAMED 2022 FAUQUIER TIMES FAUQUIER HIGH ATHLETES OF THE YEAR The right way to lead: Softball-volleyball star Meredith was coaches’ dream

Run, John, run: Bynaker was speedy catalyst in football, baseball, track

By Fred Hodge

By Jason S. Rufner

Special to the Fauquier Times

Mention Meredith Wayland to one of her Fauquier High School coaches and one word immediately comes to their lip: leadership. Wayland’s ability to form positive interpersonal relationships, coupled with her athletic feats in softball and volleyball led to her selection as the Fauquier Times 2022 Fauquier High Girls Athlete of the Year. The talented 2022 Falcon graduate, who will play softball at NCAA Division 1 Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C., prides herself on her communication with teammates and coaches. “One of my biggest priorities in sports is to be a good teammate. To be there for other people because I know how I feel when I’m struggling. Just having even a little bit of support can go a long way,” she said of a simple pat on the back or two or three encouraging words. “I’m competitive but I like to keep it loose. I always go for the comedic relief route when things are tough,” she said. Her attitude left a marked impression on all three of the head coaches she had at the high school. “She’s a natural born leader in any sport she plays. Meredith doesn’t shy away from doing things that are needed — easy or hard,” said former FHS volleyball coach

In most sports, it helps to be fast. John Bynaker is very fast. He’s been timed running 60 yards in 6.76 seconds and owns the regional record for the 300-meter dash. The Marshall native and just-graduated Fauquier Falcon played three varsity seasons of football, two of baseball, and a single year of track, which he went out for on a lark as a senior. He wound up becoming a valued leader on each of those teams. For his prowess as a multi-sport athlete and his demonstrated leadership, Bynaker is the Fauquier Times 2022 Fauquier High Boys Athlete of the Year.. “When I play sports, I succeed through my athleticism,” he said. “Like in baseball beating out ground balls, or in football chasing down people or running away from people. “As long as I can remember, I’ve kind of been the speedy guy.”

‘IT WAS TIME TO COME HOME’ After 1,090 miles, Doug Harpole ends Pacific Crest Trail hike By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

There are many reasons most people start, but can’t finish one of America’s great marathon hikes like the Appalachian Trail. Simply put, it’s just so danged hard on the body, mind and soul.

After conquering the AT in 2018, Fauquier County’s Doug Harpole is back home after hiking 1,090 miles of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail. He flew home from Reno on June 30 after almost three months hiking from the Mexican border through the dry, extremely windy deserts of Southern California and into the snowy Sierra Nevadas with his friend Nadine Bruhn. “In a nutshell, I was terribly homesick, I was in a great deal of

pain, and I just wasn’t having any fun. It was time to come home. But, no regrets! It was a great adventure,” said Harpole. Plus, Harpole had a hard deadline: his son Nathan’s wedding on Sept. 18. “There was no way I was going to miss that.” In a note to friends and family the 61-year-old Amissville resident explained his predicament: See HARPOLE, page 19

“She has a drive for herself, which in turn will drive others around her,” Fauquier softball coach Erika Lamper said. “She never wants to settle for the status quo.”

Diana Story, who coached Wayland as a junior before moving into administration. “She’a a problem solver through and through,” volleyball coach Jen Linthicum affirmed. “The person she is inside and outside her sport is what carries her.” “One of the things I have been working on is creating my own self identity outside of sports,” Wayland said of her growth. “Realizing I am more than just a softball or volleyball player.”

A return to volleyball

Softball is her No. 1

Wayland began playing baseball T-ball at the age of 5 because softball was not available. She has now played softball for 13 years and counting. “It’s a game of failure. I strive for perfection literally, and that challenge pushed me to keep going, getting better by testing myself as a person and a player through softball,” she said. Wayland was one of three freshmen to make the varsity squad in 2019. She progressed from substitute status to a starting outfield slot and a second-team all-Northwestern District position by the season’s conclusion, a point of pride. The COVID-19 pandemic canceled all spring sports across Virginia. Softball returned in 2021 although the Virginia High School League permitted only 60 percent of the usual number of games. Fauquier won the 2021 district regular-season and tournament trophies and registered a school-record 16 consecutive victories to open its season before falling, 1-0, to eventual state Class 4 runner-up Tuscarora in the Region 4C championship game. Fauquier would have advanced to the state tournament in normal years, but the VHSL ruled only one team could advance due to pandemic restrictions. Earlier, the district athletic directors had voted not to select all-district teams for any sport. The 2022 campaign erased many of those disappointments as Wayland earned first-team all-district

“She’s a natural born leader in any sport she plays,” said former FHS volleyball coach Diana Story about Meredith Wayland. and all-region honors as a center fielder. “That was something I always wanted to achieve,” Wayland said. “I put so much pressure on myself, so when I heard my coaches announced that, I had this sigh of relief because it’s not only my coaches’ recognition of my ability as a player, it’s other coaches recognizing me.” Wayland was first on the team with three home runs, including two grand slams. She also led with 29 runs driven in, 12 stolen bases and tied for the team leadership with two triples. She hit .406 for the season with 28 hits, 18 runs and added four doubles and had 48 total bases.

BYNAKER, from page 16 On the football team, he earned second-team All-Northwestern District honors as a defensive back, and was an honorable mention wide receiver while developing a strong synergy with quarterback and longtime friend Banks Massey. For his senior year of baseball, Bynaker hit .324 with 18 stolen bases, walking 13 times while striking out just 12. In his one year of track, he earned all-region distinction in the 300 meters, the 4x200-meter relay, and the 4x400 relay. He won a district title in the 55-meter dash, and set a new Region 4C record in the winter 300-meter race, running it in a personal best 36.95 seconds. He’s played baseball ever since he played blastball, a form of tee-ball, at age 3, and he’s played football since playing in a flag league at age 5. But he never ran track until his senior year. Last winter, he tried the sport “on a whim” despite no previous experience. “I really just fell in love with it. It’s a lot different than other sports. There’s no defense, so it’s just your best against their best.” Bynaker realized he could be a track standout while running the 300-meter race in an outdoor meet at Fauquier in January, dubbed the Polar Bear Meet. “It was freezing,” he recalled, “and I was really going, so I slowed down a bit because I didn’t want to pull anything. But then I didn’t hear any footsteps. I was like, wow, where is everybody?”

Playing favorites

With his eclectic trifecta of sports, Bynaker can’t pick a favorite. “It’s seasonal,” he said. “If you ask me in the fall, I’d say football. Ask me in the spring and I’d say baseball. Any other time, I’d say track.” Regardless of the season, he’s in the weight room an hour a day, five days a week. His training regimen focuses on fast-twitch muscle fibers, in-

Wayland played junior varsity volleyball as a freshman. As her sophomore year approached, she faced a course load of Advanced Placement courses. Also on her slate was a fall season of travel softball during a key time in the college recruiting calendar, so she did not play. That load plus the need to make a volleyball commitment led the Falcon to hit the pause button. “I knew what coach Story expected as far as commitment during the season, and I knew that I wouldn’t have been able to give her what she expected,” Wayland admits. “I felt it was best for me to take a step back for a season out of respect for coach Story, focus on my classes and softball recruiting process.” Wayland had played volleyball since she was 8 and missed the sport, but it was not until the spring of 2022 when she decided to return. “I was able to give coach Story the commitment she wanted,” she said. “I love the fast pace. It keeps your head in [the game],” Wayland said, also noting the camaraderie with teammates and coaches. “That’s what made it so easy to come back after taking that year off.” “She knew she had work to do to catch up with the other girls. To be honest, she’s an athlete,” Story said emphatically. “Her athleticism outweighed any skills. You can teach skills, teach volleyball. You can’t teach athleticism.” Wayland now cites her junior volleyball campaign as a high school highlight. The Falcons went unbeaten in district play en route to regular-season and tournament crowns before falling in the Region 4C semifinals. See WAYLAND, page 19 “I didn’t feel anything. It just felt so smooth,” he remembered. “It was a low line drive and I was booking it to second. When it went out, I didn’t know what to do. I think I sprinted the bases.” Unexpectedly setting a new Region 4C winter track record supplied the best memory from his brief high school track career. “I was seeded third out of about 15 in the 300,” he said. “I ran it, crossed the line, and heard over the loudspeaker, ‘John Bynaker just set the regional meet record for the 300-meter dash.’ That really made me feel that practice was paying off.”

Sports in his future

“As long as I can remember, I’ve kind of been the speedy guy,” says John Bynaker. cluding split squats and other exercises that work out his hamstrings. “Hamstrings are the key,” he said.

Growing up in sports

As a little kid, Bynaker played in the local Babe Ruth league, but got into travel ball by age 9 as a member of the Blue Ridge Titans of the Northern Virginia Travel Baseball League. At age 16, he began a couple-year stretch with the Virginia Mizuno showcase club. He got started in football at age 5 in the Fauquier Youth Flag Football League and was playing tackle a year later. He continued playing in Fauquier Youth Football until commencing his high school career.

Best memories

When he was 12, Bynaker hit his first over-thefence home run.

This coming fall, Bynaker will attend Virginia Tech as a student, but he’s got a plan to become a student-athlete. “I’m looking towards the track club team, just to ease into it. If I’m really still all about it after a year or so, I’d commit myself to try to walk on,” he said, musing about joining the Hokies’ ACC championship track squad. He’s also interested in playing intramural football and perhaps club baseball, but what really intrigues him is being a baseball coach. “There’s so much you can do as a baseball coach. You can make the sport really fun and inspire someone really small, who may not have the patience for baseball, and make it fun for them.”

Coachspeak

Last Sept. 24, late in the game of what became a 28-14 Fauquier loss to Handley on the gridiron, the Judges’ running back broke loose and was bound for another TD. Bynaker wasn’t having it. He used his blazing speed and ran the RB down, preventing the score. “We held after that,” Falcon football coach Karl Buckwalter said. “We show that play to our kids. It is that never-say-never effort and attitude that has permeated our program.” See BYNAKER, page 19

WAYLAND, from page 17

Volleyball role changes

The Falcon volleyball landscape changed abruptly last August when Story resigned and Linthicum agreed to be head coach after one year as an assistant. In-season adjustments included a positional switch for Wayland, whose forte had been playing on the front line ever since middle school. She began the season as a right side hitter before settling into the lineup as a defensive specialist. “Even if it was something she had never played before, Meredith would say ‘Yes, coach, you can count on me’ with no questions asked,” Linthicum said. Wayland won the team’s coach’s award. “I will miss her greatly. She will always be part of Falcon volleyball and be welcomed home,” Linthicum said.

Wayland will study sports management at Gardner-Webb and hopes to add a master’s degree in the field then study business law. Her long-term goal is to become a sports agent representing professional athletes and college players navigating the recently approved Name, Image, Likeness landscape. Given her love of softball, she hopes to one day coach. “It never gets dull,” said Wayland. “Knowing more about softball and having a high softball IQ steps up your game more than someone who has just raw athletic ability.” “She pushed me to be a better coach,” said Linthicum, who forecasts Wayland will be a highly successful coach. “She has that innate ability to be empathetic to others and feel their needs without saying anything.”

HARPOLE, from page 16 “On the Appalachian Trail in 2018, I felt like I was always close to home and could return at a moment’s notice if necessary. But on the PCT, it was much more remote. I could hike for a week or a couple of hundred miles and not see a single road or a town. I just felt very isolated, cut off from home. I carried a GPS on which I kept contact with (wife) Susan daily, but I was still uncomfortable. “As far as the pain, it’s part of long-distance backpacking. On the AT, I tore my meniscus about halfway through (unknown to me at the time). I hiked over a thousand miles in daily pain with swelling and had to have surgery when I got back.

BYNAKER, from page 17

Sports management and coaching

Like Buckwalter, Bynaker’s other head coaches Matt O’Saben for baseball and Quentin Jones for track rave about Bynaker’s leadership. “He is a real character guy, a leader by example,” O’Saben said. “If you ever wanted to know how to approach the game and life with hard work and discipline, John would be the guy other players should emulate.” O’Saben said that Bynaker’s athleticism made him a dangerous offensive weapon on the diamond, scoring 70% of the times he got on base. The first time Jones saw Bynaker run, his first thought was, “Holy Moses. We got a nice diamond in the rough here.” Bynaker was already a mature athlete, both physically and mentally, when he went out for track as a senior, Jones said. So he immediately became a leader among his fellow sprinters. “I could ask him to take some of

I started the PCT knowing that I had arthritis (and no cartilage on the inner half) of my right knee, but I had done lots of prep hiking and met with my orthopedist before the trip. We felt like it would be manageable. Within the first 100 miles it got very painful and I was considering quitting but, over time, with my brace and by taking large quantities of vitamin I (Ibuprofen), the pain diminished. “I was feeling extremely fit, strong, and mostly pain-free by the time we entered the Sierra Nevada Mountains (about mile 700). I was wearing a knee brace but had stopped taking Ibuprofen. “Just as we exited the northern end of Yosemite National Park (mile 900), everything changed.

the younger guys under his wing and guide them,” Jones said. “I felt like I had a guy who made the team better.” Buckwalter called Bynaker a “caring, giving, selfless young man” whose calm demeanor makes him a leader in high-stress situations. “John is a coach on the field and has an excellent feel for the game,” the football coach said. “His work ethic is infectious and made everyone around him better.” Bynaker’s dedication to his teams was evident one Wednesday last spring when he ran in a district track meet in the morning and played in a district tourney baseball game that evening. But he said his most prominent memory of his time in any Falcon uniform will be those grueling summertime football practices under the hot sun. “Those are my friends out there,” he said. “It really sinks in, once it’s all over.”

X-rays revealed a hairline fracture at the top of my tibia. The doctor recommended 4-6 weeks rest, etc. “Everyone on the trail (and off) is asking if I will finish the second half of the PCT. Even if I healed and got back on trail, I could end up in notoriously snowy weather in the mountains of Washington and British Columbia. “What about next year? Or beyond? I don’t know. “I’m just so glad to be home I don’t even think about it. I had a great time on the PCT. I backpacked over another 1,000 miles. I saw lots of beautiful stuff and met a lot of wonderful people and made a lot of great memories.”

Magistrate’s clerical error derails case against man who allegedly possessed child sexual abuse material KRUEGER, from page 1 “We’re left with no choice but to nolle pros all our charges,” Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Abigail Owens told Circuit Judge Stephen Sincavage at the July 7 hearing, referring to the legal phrase meaning “do not wish to prosecute.” Sincavage had previously granted Krueger’s motion, filed in February, to suppress the evidence, but Owens filed a motion to reconsider the ruling in an effort to keep the case against Krueger alive.

Harris of the Spotsylvania County Magistrate Office, issued the search warrant on Nov. 20, 2019, permitting state police investigators to search Krueger’s home. However, the magistrate “inadvertently failed to copy the back of the form affidavit” that included an investigator’s signature, according to prosecutors. Sincavage ultimately ruled that the remaining four pages of the search warrant affidavit are invalid because the signature page was not filed with the court, therefore negating the basis of the case against Krueger. Owens said in a July 8 email that, while the outcome is “disappointing,” the commonwealth’s attorney’s office will give the file to federal prosecutors “so that they can review the case and determine whether or not they’re able to prosecute [Krueger] federally. “We’re hopeful that they will be able to move forward with these

charges,” she said. Owens appealed Sincavage’s February ruling to the Virginia Court of Appeals, but the appeal was rejected because Sincavage cited state law — not the U.S. Constitution — in his ruling. “Since Judge Sincavage based his ruling on a state code section, the Court of Appeals dismissed my appeal for lack of jurisdiction,” Owens wrote. “Long story short, I am unable to appeal this decision to a higher court because the law in Virginia does not allow for an appeal from the commonwealth in this situation.” Krueger’s attorney, public defender Paul Fore, declined to comment on the case.

Details of the case

The July 7 ruling brings to an end a case that began more than three and a half years ago. The Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began investigating Krueger in January 2019, according to the November 2019 search warrant affidavit filed by a Virginia State Police special agent. Task force investigators connected to a device “upload[ing] child pornography files over the Bit Torrent Network,” the affidavit said, and eventually traced the source of the files from an internet connection located west of Warrenton. Subsequent information from the internet provider led investigators to Krueger’s residence, according to the affidavit. Based on that information, VSP Special Agent D. Cook successfully obtained the warrant to search Krueger’s residence, which state police investigators did on Nov. 21, 2019. Investigators seized a variety of digital devices from Krueger during that search, according to documents filed in court, and a grand jury in Fauquier County Circuit Court indicted Krueger in July 2020 based on the evidence obtained during the November 2019 search.

But in October 2021, Fore filed a motion on Krueger’s behalf to suppress the evidence obtained in the 2019 search. Because the signature page was not filed with the court, “there is no affidavit,” he argued, which in turn denied Krueger “a reasonable opportunity to determine that the affidavit on file is the same one upon which the determination of the probable cause [for the search warrant] was based.” Owens responded that there is no requirement under Virginia law that a search warrant affidavit be signed. “Despite that fact, the defendant argues that because the second page of the form affidavit, which contained only the affiant’s signature and the magistrate’s signature, is missing, this means that the affidavit itself does not exist,” Owens wrote, calling the motion to suppress, “at best, nonsensical.” Owens argued that the “only page missing from that copy [of the affidavit] did not contain any substantive information” — only two signatures. “It’s worth noting that each page [filed with the court] contains the affiant’s initials as well as the magistrate’s initials. There’s no reason to believe that this isn’t the affidavit upon which the search warrant was issued. The defendant has not shown and cannot show that he’s somehow prejudiced because he didn’t receive the page of the affidavit containing the affiant’s and magistrate’s signatures,” she wrote. Sincavage sided with Krueger, citing the section of Virginia law concerning the process for obtaining search warrants. “[T]he search … conducted by law enforcement pursuant to the search warrant issued on Nov. 20, 2019, … is found invalid and the evidence obtained pursuant to the search is inadmissible,” Sincavage ruled.

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | July 13, 2022

OBITUARIES Lita “Squeaky” Wangensteen CAMDEN, SC - Lita “Squeaky” Lindley Wangensteen, 86, of Camden, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on July 2nd, 2022, a few months shy of her 87th birthday. She was born to Forrest Berry Lindley and Constance Merryweather Lindley of Shaker Heights, Ohio, where she was raised. Her parents, not horsey people, gave her a pony at age five, Junie, and the rest is history. You give a little girl a pony, and anything can happen, and did it ever! After attending Pine Manor College, Squeaky’s love of horses continued as she made her way to Tryon, North Carolina. She became active in breeding and fox hunting while in Tryon and met several renowned horse people including Gordon Wright and JA “Bucky” Reynolds, whom she eventually married. They moved to Warrenton, Virginia, where they established Merryweather Farm, a thriving commercial horse showing and teaching operation. She was particularly known as a respected breeder with a great eye for quality young horses. In addition to her breeding and training, she was also a licensed Registered Judge of show hunters, hunt seat equitation, and hunter breeding, judging many prestigious shows nationwide including Devon and the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden. Some of the most famed horses Squeaky owned were Peyton Place, and Gozzi, the renowned Hall of Fame Hunter, she and Bucky Reynolds developed and sold. In 1976 she married the love of her life, Dr. Stephen L. Wangensteen. They moved to Tucson, Arizona, where Dr. Wangensteen became Chief of Surgery at the University of Arizona, and she continued with her passion for horses. They enjoyed entertaining western style, often bringing a horse or two into the house after a dinner party delighting guests. It was a lively place they both loved and entertained many. During these years they also enjoyed a home in Siesta Key, Florida, where they kept a boat aptly named Merryweather, and trawled up and down the Intracoastal Waterway and off the southern parts of Florida. Several years later, Squeaky and Steve moved to Tampa, Florida, where Dr. Wangensteen became Chief of Surgery at the University of South Florida. When he was nearing retirement, they purchased a farm in Lenoir, North Carolina, Cloverhill Plantation. They eventually relocated there, where horses were once again the “preferred,” and they entertained annually during the famed Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show which was held “up the mountain” in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. After a few years in Lenoir, and realizing it was a just a bit too removed, they purchased Pear Tree Farm in Camden, South Carolina, and the rest was their history. She operated a successful boarding stable, as well as buying and selling quality show horses. They became very involved in all things Camden and Boykin, where an enjoyable life was led by entertaining often, participating in the Boykin Annual Christmas Parade, the Colonial and Carolina Cups, and they were known for throwing a great party. Squeaky was active in The Camden Garden Club, a Member of Springdale Hall, and was very involved in area dog rescues, fostering and placing many dogs in wonderful “furever” homes. During these many years, and until the end, Squeaky was known for these noble efforts. And while visiting her at her farm, one would intimately get to know each and everyone by their clever names that only she could uniquely name. She worked closely with her dear friends at Fostering Foster Animal Rescue, Danny and Ron’s Rescue and served on the Board of Kershaw County Humane Society Thiel Meyer Adoption Center to save the lives and provide happiness for a multitude of dogs. Her love for these dogs was immeasurable. Since Steve passed away in 2014, Squeaky missed him deeply and did her best to live her life as richly as possible. A wonderful quote from an early Virginia friend, Genie Grigsby Harper, sums it up. “Squeaky was one of a kind, a great horsewoman, friend, and character.” That she was, there was no one quite like her. Besides her parents and beloved spouse, she was predeceased by stepsons William Harry Wangensteen, and Philip Owen Wangensteen. She is survived by her half-sister Anne Berry Lindley of Boykin SC; stepchildren Chris Wangensteen-Eklund (Bill) of Tucson, AZ and Stephen Almonte Wangensteen of Richmond, VA; step-grandchildren Sierra Phillips (Justin), Owen Wangensteen, Blake Eklund and Madison Wangensteen; plus, many lovely Camden area friends. Service arrangements will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to Fostering Foster Animal Rescue 1718 Kennedy Drive Camden, SC 29020. Ron and Danny’s Rescue POB 604 Camden, SC 29021, or Kershaw County Humane Society Thiel Meyer Pet Adoption Center 128 Black River Road Camden, SC 29020. And to honor Squeaky’s always spoken parting words in person or on a phone call, “Bye for now” ~Squeaky Kornegay Funeral Home, Camden Chapel, is in charge of arrangements. Condolences may be left online for the Wangensteen family at www.kornegayfuneral.com.

Elizabeth Gring Coffin Elizabeth Gring Coffin, aged 98, passed peacefully on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 in Warrenton, Virginia. She was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on March 24, 1924, daughter of Ambrose Daniel and Gertrude Sheffield Gring. Growing up with a widowed mother and four siblings in New York city during the depression was hard. As with others of her generation, she learned frugality and hard work. With a strong belief in God, she learned to be optimistic. “This is the day that the Lord hath made. We shall rejoice and be glad in it” was a favorite scripture. In 1944 Elizabeth met and married David P. Coffin, a charming Army officer who, after the war became a Foreign Service Officer with the State Department. Together they served in China, Japan and England. Although they found the work and travel stimulating and interesting, it did not provide much stability for their growing family. They settled in Alexandria, Virginia and David spent the rest of a very interesting career in the CIA. They had five children. In 1965, feeling the need for some space, they moved to Warrenton. The bought a large 100-year old stone house on Winchester Street and some land with a pre-civil war farmhouse in Orlean, Virginia. As a child, Elizabeth had gone to a Montessori preschool and she brought her children up with the principles of Montessori. In 1972 Elizabeth started the Boxwood School with her children’s help and encouragement. Of her three daughters who helped with her school, two went on to be trained Montessori teachers themselves. Her sons would best be described as “artists in residence.” Her boundless energy... physical, emotional and intellectual kept the school alive for 47 years. She has remained friends with many of her former students and their parents. Elizabeth had a strong personality. She had a great sense of humor. There was often a cartoon from The New Yorker on her refrigerator door. She was a voracious reader and a prolific letter writer. She kept her correspondence going with friends from her Foreign Service days for sixty years. As much as she loved to talk, she was a good listener. She will be missed! Mrs. Coffin is survived by four children, Kit Coffin Dukas & her husband, Philip pf Bethany Beach, Delaware, R. Winthrop Coffin & his partner, Phillip of Warrenton, Virginia, Ann Lauterbach & her husband Michael of Orlean, Virginia, and Sarah McCormack and her husband, Mark of Warrenton, Virginia; a daughter-in-law, Ellen Coffin of Brookings, Oregon; eleven grandchildren, Alexandra (Bill), Briana (Robin), Christopher (Amy), Caitlin, Lillian Rebecca, Christina (Luke), Jordon, Lauren Elizabeth, Haley Katherine, Win, and Sophie; and eight great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, David Page Coffin, Sr.; her son, David P. Coffin, Jr.; and her siblings; Morris, Edwin, Trudie and Robert. A memorial service will be held at Grace Church, The Plains, Virginia at 11:00 on August 13, 2022.

OBITUARIES Mildred Stevens Mom Well it’s been a year already since you left us and whoever said it would get easier obviously didn’t know you, it seems to get harder for me. I miss all of our talks around the kitchen table with all the crazy things that happened at work, at the events and concerts things only you would understand and laugh about. And all the talks you and Cheryl would have when she would take you to your doctor appointments a time for both of you could vent... or not. And you’re “little man”, who could forget Brandon? He sure hasn’t forgotten you, he’s asked me numerous times, Linda, “I thought if you prayed your prayers would come true?” I asked him what do you mean? He says “I pray for grandma to come back and it doesn’t work”. I tell him God needs her now but you will see her again when he needs you. Just not now. All of these first of not having you around are so hard... Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s Day and so much more. We miss you as much today as the day you left but we will never stop loving you you can count on that the hardest day I ever had to do in my life was to tell you goodbye July 17, 2021.

Michael William Craig Michael William Craig, age 74, of Purcellville VA passed away peacefully on Tuesday July 5, 2022, surrounded by family. Born to Bill and Nancy Craig in 1948 the only male child of five siblings. His Irish American Catholic/VirginiaChickahominy heritage and being the son of a military veteran instilled in him a strong appreciation of tradition, faith, and duty. At an early age Mike began his service to God as an altar boy at St John the Baptist de la Salle in Chillum, MD. Mike was a Class of ‘67 graduate of DeMatha Catholic High School and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Mike spent 20 years working at Vitro Corporation where he designed electrical systems and traveled the world inspecting and training other countries on safety systems for nuclear power plants. As a quality assurance supervisor, he led a team in designing one of NASA’s space shuttle cockpits. After retiring, he and his eldest son opened Leesburg Hobbies & Collectibles where he enjoyed being recognized as “the train man” and “the scout shop owner”. Mike respected hard work, but also knew how to play. He spent many years as a league bowler and playing softball. Mike always cared greatly for his community, especially the children. He coached little league for 11 years, was an elementary school PTA president, and he opened the family home as a McGruff Safety House. It was as a Boy Scout Leader, however, where he made some of the deepest connections with those outside of his family. As a uniformed scouter for over 35 years, some of Mike’s favorite moments were found camping, working on Eagle Projects, mentoring, and simply helping young people grow and discover all that they could be. Mike’s greatest joy in life was his wife, Grace. High school sweethearts, who would have celebrated their 52nd anniversary in July, Mike and Grace’s love will continue on. Mike’s next greatest loves were for his children Christinia Gutshall (James) of Round Hill VA, William Craig (Tina) of Stephen City VA, Charles Craig of Purcellville VA and his grandchildren William, Micheal and Mary Gutshall and Ashlyn Craig.

Eugene G. Weimer

EXAGGERATED GRIEF Grief is expressed in many ways and is primarily influenced by one’s social and cultural atmosphere. Exaggerated grief occurs when a person suffers several losses or other traumatic events all at once or in a short period. Also known as persistent complex bereavement disorder, exaggerated grief can result from not having enough time to resolve emotional conflicts between losses. Symptoms can be overwhelming, leaving one feeling incapable of carrying on. Signs of exaggerated grief include feelings of emptiness and hopelessness, an intense yearning to be with the person who died, and an inability to focus on other things. These feelings last for months or years and tend to worsen over time. Many find support by seeing a therapist or counselor. The funeral home is an important part of any community. In addition to providing a variety of necessary services to the community such as burial services, cremation services, memorial services and celebrations of life, funeral homes also serve as resources for those grieving the loss of a loved one. To meet the unique needs and budgets of every family we serve, MOSER FUNERAL HOME offers a diverse range of funeral services and products. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
