Nokesville man faces jury, accused of planning robbery that led to Lincoln Williams Jr.’s murder

Traffic stop data collection increases law enforcement transparency

By Liam Bowman

On the night of Aug. 26, 2019, 18-yearold Lincoln Williams Jr. staggered into his family’s home outside Warrenton, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. He woke up his sleeping mother and pleaded with her to help him. As his mother tried to wipe the blood away from his face, his father called 911 and asked him: “Who did this to you?”

The younger Williams, lying on the floor, struggled to speak but eventually responded: “Rude Boy,” Williams’ father testified in court Monday. Lincoln Williams Jr. eventually succumbed to his wounds and he was pronounced dead at Fauquier Hospital before midnight.

“Rude Boy” is a nickname for Daniel Farmer II, now 25, of Nokesville, according to multiple witnesses who testified in court this week; Farmer’s murder trial began Monday and both sides rested their

case on Tuesday.

Farmer is charged with first-degree murder and several other felonies in connection with Williams Jr.’s death. Closing arguments are expected to take place Wednesday Daniel Farmer morning, after which the jury will begin deliberating.

Another man, 39-year-old Myison Ellis of Waynesboro, was convicted in March 2020 of firing the shot that killed Williams.

Prosecutors alleged during the March 2020 trial that Farmer came up with a plan to rob Williams of drugs and money and recruited Ellis to commit the robbery itself.

Under Virginia’s Community Policing Act, which went into effect on July 1, 2020, law enforcement officers statewide are required to collect and report demographic data about people they pull over. The data collection is intended to discourage police from engaging in racial profiling.

Earlier this month, the first nine months of data was published on an online database (at https://data.virginia.gov/stories/s/rden-cz3h), allowing members of the public to review how their local law enforcement agencies conducted traffic stops over the past year.

Warrenton Police Chief Michael Kochis is fully on board with the new system. “Citizens have a right to know who their police force is stopping and why,” he said. “If we’re going to build trust with the community, we have to have transparency.”

The data for each “If collecting locality documents the race, ethnicity, gender, data builds trust and age of the driver with people who who is stopped.

VDH releases information on ‘breakthrough cases’

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

The Virginia Department of Health released information last Friday that revealed the number of Virginians who have been infected with COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated. In Virginia since the first of the year, 1,063 fully vaccinated people have been infected, 71 have been hospitalized and 17 have died.

These are called “breakthrough cases,” and VDH will update the data on its website every Friday.

Daniel Ferrell, epidemiologist with the VDH’s Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, put the numbers in perspective: “During the time period that the state reported the 1,063 breakthrough cases -- Jan. 1 to June 25 -- we (the state) investigated 190,846 total cases of COVID. During that time, 99.4% of all the state’s confirmed and probable cases were associated with individuals not considered

fully vaccinated.”

He cautioned that readers should keep in mind that the total number of positive cases used to calculate the percentage cited in this dashboard only represents information for cases with a positive lab result. “It doesn’t take into account all the individuals who were exposed, but tested negative or never developed illness (i.e. individuals who were protected after exposure). Clinical trials for the vaccines can better measure the overall efficacy of a vaccine by knowing exactly how many exposures took place within the vaccinated group in a given time.

“In our real-world scenario we will never know the total number of exposures (the real denominator) to compare to the number of breakthrough cases. We can use the available data for all reported cases to show that the vaccine is highly effective at preventing serious illness/ hospitalizations and deaths.”

COVID-19 snapshot - Tuesday, July 13 Cases in the Fauquier County School Division Vaccines

Virginia: 59.4% of the population have received at least one dose; 51.7% are fully vaccinated.

Fauquier: 39,578 have received at least one dose (55.6%); 34,819are fully vaccinated (48.9%).

Perspective: About 71.3% of adults in the state have been vaccinated with at least one dose. The percentage of fully vaccinated adults is 62.8%.

Seven-day positivity average (total PCR tests vs. positive tests)

Virginia: 12.3% Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District: 4.6% Perspective: The RRHD positivity percentage has not been as high as 4.6% since June 28. RRHD epidemiologist Daniel Ferrell said that the percent positivity is elevated because screening testing has decreased. Testing is only being done in people who are symptomatic or have been directly exposed to the coronavirus. In the RRHD, the percent-positivity has been below 5% since May 18.

Neighbors discuss proposed solar farm project on Meetze Road Residents caution against taking farmland out of county’s agricultural inventory

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Public opposition to a proposed solar farm on Meetze Road emerged Wednesday, July 7, during a community meeting at which the developer promised benefits to the county and asked citizens to share their concerns.

At the meeting’s end, Fauquier Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) asked all neighbors of the proposal to share their thoughts with him to help him take a position on the project.

But from the start, worries and opposition were clear.

Steven Smith, who owns a farm that borders on the proposed project at 8515 Meetze Road, said that, among other things, he was bothered by a chain link fence topped with barbed wire that would enclose the solar farm. He estimated that the fence would be visible at his farm for at least eight years until a buffer of trees grew to obscure it.

“This thing is going to have the charm of a minimum-security correctional facility -- right in my back yard,” he said. He also worried about the effect of the solar panels and their construction on his horses, which graze and train adjacent to the proposed solar farm. And he noted that the project would remove 17 acres of land now being used to grow soybeans from the county’s agricultural inventory, a land-use change discouraged by the county’s comprehensive plan. “Fauquier County is an emerald gem,” he said.

Smith and others voiced concerns about roadway safety, effects on livestock and “scenic pollution” from the solar panels. Shown a slide that listed 10 general benefits of small-scale solar projects, Sam Crider, who lives on Lunsford Road near the property in question, said, “I don’t know that I see anything beneficial to us in the area.”

The meeting, held at the Black Horse Inn on Meetze Road, was attended by a dozen neighbors and citizens. It was suggested by Gerhardt as a way for Borrego Solar Systems,

“If this is something they just can’t live with, I need to know about it,” RICK GERHARDT Fauquier County supervisor (Cedar Run District)

Inc., the project’s developer, to explain their plans and address concerns from neighbors. Gerhardt said he wanted to hear from everyone in attendance, particularly the neighbors who would be directly affected. “If this is something they just can’t live with, I need to know about it,” he said.

“I’m in the category the supervisor asked to hear from,” said Smith.

“I can’t live with it.”

Borrego officials, however, ticked off the proposed solar farm’s benefits.

Project developer Jessie Robinson noted that the Virginia Clean Economy Act, passed in April 2020, directs Dominion Energy to purchase 1,100 MW of power from small, 1 to 3 MW solar projects by 2035, and said her company was responding to a request for proposals from Dominion. The farm’s power would be connected to the local grid and would not affect local electricity rates – either upwards or down, she said.

Robinson and other Borrego officials said small farms like this one were easier to screen from view, were quiet and typically lasted only 20 years. They said that its placement on previously used farmland would allow the soil to enrich itself. (Allowing the soil to have a specific “rest” period without being planted gives it time to replenish nutrients that can be leached by consistent planting.) Robinson also said that such projects diversified the economy.

Robinson said there would also be tax benefits to the county. Currently the property in question gets a reduced tax valuation for farming, but once the acreage is converted to a solar farm, the assessment reduction goes away.

In an interview Friday, Fauquier Commissioner of the Revenue Eric Maybach worked up some numbers: He estimated, based on the soils on site, that the 17 acres that would be converted are given a farming use valuation of $341.75 an acre, for a total of $5,809.75.

At the county’s tax rate of .994 per 100 dollars of valuation, the 17 acres generate $57.75 in taxes annually.

If the 17 acres were taken out of farm-use valuation and assigned a fair market value of $8,000 per acre, they would generate $1,351.84 in annual taxes – or $1,294.09 more than is currently being paid. In addition, he said, when land is switched out of farm use, the owner must pay the tax difference for five previous years, in what is known as a “roll-back,” plus the current year.

So that would result in a one-time tax payment of $7,764 to the county.

Besides the county, Borrego would pay the farm’s owners, Deyu Wang and Wenxian Ji, an annual fee during the 20 years the property was leased. And there would be an option to renew for 20 years more. Borrego declined to say what the lease fee for this project would be.

Borrego also referred to a study done for the company in Illinois that studied the effect of small- and medium-sized solar farms on neighboring property values. The study showed a negligible change.

Regarding its sightlines, Borrego officials said they had calculated the length of time a motorist on Meetze Road driving 45 miles an hour would view the project: it was 20 to 25 seconds.

The Borrego officials sought to allay concerns that the project would take prime agricultural land out of production. They said their calculations show the project would only use .069% of the county’s prime farmland, and less than .0001% of all the county’s land. Since the project would likely be in use for only 20 years, one Borrego representative likened it to a “nap” in the 200-year history of Fauquier farming, at the end of which the farmland would be regenerated.

“Yeah, but I’ll be dead in that nap,” quipped Smith.

Robinson acknowledged that the solar farm would take up prime agricultural land. So, she asked for ideas for mitigation. “Are there funds we could contribute to that promote education on farming, you could do tours on site or photography for students?” she asked. She said Borrego had given money to governments for parks, road maintenance, or even for an emergency radio system as mitigation on other projects. Borrego was willing to contribute to Fauquier County, she added, but county officials suggested waiting to see if the project was approved by the planning commission before set-

“This thing is going to have the charm of a minimum-security correctional facility -right in my back yard.”

tling on an amount.

Solar projects must receive special exceptions to the zoning code to be built on farmland. The first step in that process is a hearing and a vote by the planning commission on whether the project comports with the county’s comprehensive plan. The planning commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing and a vote on July 15, but the hearing was advertised a day late due to a slip-up by Borrego, and now, while the hearing is still set for July 15, the vote will be taken at the next meeting on Aug. 19.

Virginia Care Specialists will expand practice at Warrenton cancer center in September

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Beginning Sept. 1, Fauquier residents will again be able to seek oncology care in Warrenton. Virginia Cancer Specialists, an independent group of physicians that provides medical oncology and hematology services, has leased space in the Fauquier Health Cancer Center.

Four physicians will rotate through the offices on the corner of Carriage House Road and Shirley Avenue, seeing patients and supervising care at the center’s infusion center.

In May, when Fauquier Health’s only oncology physician, Dr. Raj Manchandani, left, Fauquier Health sent a letter to patients explaining that patients could choose to seek care from VCS, which also has an office on Lake Manassas Drive in Gainesville, or from other providers.

Fauquier Health officials announced at the time that they anticipated that VCS could begin offering cancer services at the Shirley Avenue site in July, but plans had not been finalized.

VCS medical oncologist Dr. Robert Marsh explained that VCS is an independent organization and does not currently have a partnership with Fauquier Health; it is leasing space in the Warrenton building. He said their team will begin working with the equipment that is already in place but there are plans to add laboratory capability. The physicians, infusion center staff and support staff who will be working there are all employees of VCS. In addition to Marsh, other oncology physicians who will see patients in Fauquier include Dr. Jey Maran, Dr. Tejas Suresh and Dr. Mitul Gandhi. Drs. Marsh and Suresh are generalists, with expertise in all types of cancer. Dr. Maran is a generalist with a special interest in breast can-

Fauquier Hospital will maintain its own infusion center at the hospital, serving patients who need transfusions and other, non-cancer-related infusion services.

VCS’s experienced support staff will be able to help patients understand their treatment plan, make appointments, answer questions and help with insurance issues. Social workers, who are experts in community resources, will be able to steer patients to support groups and other assistance available nearby.

Fauquier Health’s new OB/GYN physician Dr. Nikita Mishra is animated when she talks about helping women cope with polysystic ovarian syndrome or her experience with robotics surgery, but she really lights up when the subject turns to babies. “The joy of delivering a baby never goes away.”

A mother of two girls, she said, “Unless you feel that way, you can’t make yourself get out of bed on weekends or in the middle of the night” when the call comes.

Mishra will be working with Dr. Barry Aaron, fellow OB/GYN and midwives Monica Freidline, RN, MP, CNM, and Kathleen McClelland, RN, CNM. She’ll bring experience in the latest surgical techniques and make

Dr. Robert Marsh part of the VCS network. Marsh said, “We have specially trained physicians who work with patients who have chronic pain. Many of those appointments are virtual, and patients have responded to those very well.”

Clinical trials

Another option that will be available to cancer patients come Sept.

1 is participation in clinical trials.

Marsh said, “We are part of a robust clinical trials network. Many of our trials are with the U.S. Oncology National Consortium.”

The program allows VCS patients to be a part of clinical research into experimental therapies. Clinical trials test the safety and patient tolerance for new treatments and help define the efficacy and role of new modalities. Marsh expanded, “Some research tracks the quality of life under certain treatments. It covers the treatment landscape pretty well, and participation among our patients has been excellent.”

Why Warrenton?

Marsh said that expanding into Warrenton was a natural move for VCS. “There is a lot of growth there.

We already serve a lot of patients in Fauquier and Culpeper, and we are glad we are going to have a physical presence in Warrenton. We want to be able to serve people close to where they live.”

He added that Warrenton has another advantage as well: “Warrenton has dedicated primary care physicians who take excellent care of their patients. I have heard people say about their doctors, ‘He was my father’s doctor, too.’

“It’s a different world in Warrenton. It offers a very stable environment,” said Marsh.

Elise Powers, executive director at VCS, said, “I am thrilled that VCS will be expanding our services into the Fauquier community this fall.

Patients will have expanded access to cutting-edge technology, clinical trials, palliative care, social work services, radiation therapy, surgery (breast, thoracic and musculoskeletal), genetic testing, counseling and more.”

In addition to gynecological surgery, Mishra also has a particular interest in helping women deal with PCOS, a hormonal condition that affects woman during their childbearing years. It can result in unpredictable menstrual cycles, ovarian cysts

Dr. Nikita Mishra

OB/GYN physician Dr. Nikita Mishra received her medical degree from BJ Medical College in Pune, India, where she graduated in the top 5% of her class. She received her Ph.D. in physiology from the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University, then went on to complete her internship in obstetrics and gynecology at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami. She worked for four years in Richmond and three years in Farmville, Virginia.

Mishra speaks four languages: English, (medical) Spanish, Hindi and Marathi.

She will primarily be seeing patients at Fauquier Health OB/GYN & Midwifery’s Gainesville office at 7915 Lake Manassas Drive, Suite 101.

The office can be reached at 703-743-7300.

and a host of other symptoms; it can make it more difficult to get pregnant and can also raise the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. Mishra said that she employs multiple therapies – lifestyle changes, medication, hormone therapy -- depending on the specific situation. “Each case presents its own unique challenges and struggles. It can affect women from 13 to 40 years old. The spectrum of potential disease is huge.”

She said that with appropriate treatments and education, she can help patients improve fertility outcomes.

Because of her experience, she is able to spot signs of PCOS early.

“Some patients could go for their annual visit and never have those conversations. I screen for signs – like dark patches of skin on the back of the neck, for instance, or insulin resistance that comes from a sluggish metabolism. I screen patients for their fertility goals too, at those visits.”

With pregnant women, Mishra said, pre-natal visits are a good opportunity for education. “It’s a chance for patients to ask questions, one-n-one.”

Fauquier Health brings back Senior Suppers

She said that sometimes fathersto-be get left out of the conversations. As an example, she said, “Dads can get ignored or lost when there is a miscarriage, for instance.

Emotionally, dads need as much support as moms. It’s as much of a loss to dads when it happens.”

Mishra said although she doesn’t perform in vitro fertilization treatments, she can help couples with fertility issues. “I can tell them, ‘These are your options,’” and added, “there are a lot more options than there used to be.”

Although Mishra is still unpacking cardboard boxes, she said she is thrilled to be in Fauquier. “I wanted to be somewhere that I felt I can belong, where I am accepted as part of the family. I feel that way about Fauquier Hospital.”

She is enjoying working with Arron and is happy that the Fauquier Health practice includes two midwives. “With midwives who are certified, they know what to look for; they know the signs and will call in a physician if needed. Working with Monica and Kathleen is a joy.”

Fauquier Health will resume its Senior Suppers in Fauquier Hospital’s Bistro on the Hill beginning Thursday, July 15. Discounted meals will be offered for seniors 55 years and older on the third Thursday of each month from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Until the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of 2020, Fauquier Health held Senior Suppers twice a week at the Bistro, located at 500 Hospital Drive in Warrenton. Seniors were able to socialize, play card games and eat a multi-course meal at a discounted rate.

Beginning July 15, seniors will again be able to choose from one entree, two sides and a fountain drink or milk – all for $6 (tax included).

The Bistro will be set up to accommodate guests while maintaining social distancing measures. Seniors will be able to enter through the Bistro entrance of the hospital and selfscreen at the temperature station.

Upon sanitizing their hands, they will be able to enter the bistro.

Space is limited, so ticket reservations online are required. Seniors can register for tickets for the July 15 event and future events online by visiting FauquierHealth.org/ events.

Traffic stop data collection increases law enforcement transparency TRAFFIC, from page 1 In Fauquier County, law enforcement has recorded 9,159 traffic stops between July 1, 2020, and March 31. Race data shows that white residents, who make up a large majority of the county’s population (87%), have accounted for 79% of stops. African Americans, who make up 7.8% of the population, have been involved in 15% of stops. Hispanic residents, 9.2% of the population,

made up 13% of stops (since Hispanic is classified as an “ethnicity,” the data is calculated separately from a driver’s “race”).

The vast majority of stops, 8,576, were initiated due to traffic violations. Equipment violations were a distant second, with 464 recorded.

Also included were “terry stops”—traffic stops based on “reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity.”

The numbers include stops made by the Warrenton Police Department, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and Virginia State troopers operating within the county.

According to Kochis, the data “shows that officers are out there doing their job the right way: stopping people for legitimate reasons, not engaging in biases.”

But he was also quick to caution against reading too much into the data. “We have to remember that this went into effect in the middle of a global pandemic,” he said, adding that the current data doesn’t fully reflect normal policing trends.

For local activists in the Black community, the data collection is seen as an important step toward greater police accountability. “It allows the community to see the operations of the police force a lot better,” said Ellsworth Weaver, president of the NAACP Fauquier County Branch. “It’s important for people who depend on police officers to be treated in a non-biased way and that we are not antagonized or harassed because of their position of authority.”

Data collection a challenge

Fauquier County Sheriff Robert Mosier

Although Kochis has welcomed the greater transparency, he admitted that the data collection initially caused some difficulties.

When the law went into effect, he said, the department’s existing records management system

Community Policing Act

Virginia’s Community Policing Act, otherwise known as Virginia House Bill 1250, went into effect July 1, 2020. The law is designed to discourage law enforcement from engaging in racial profiling.

It requires local law enforcement agencies to collect and report certain data about drivers they interact with during traffic stops. Police officers must document the following demographic information: • The race, ethnicity, age and gender of the person stopped.

• The reason for the stop.

• The location of the stop.

• Whether a warning, written citation or summons was issued or whether anyone was arrested.

• If a warning, written citation or summons was issued or an arrest was made, those details must be documented.

• Whether the vehicle or any individual was searched.

The data will be reviewed by the Virginia State Police.

Source: https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604. exe?201+ful+CHAP1165 was unable to process the extra information without an expensive update. It was also unclear how the collection would be accomplished by officers in the field.

Kochis eventually decided to have his officers document the required demographic information directly on traffic tickets. Or, if an officer chooses not to ticket a driver, on “warning tickets.” A clerk reviews the tickets and inputs the data onto a spreadsheet, which is submitted monthly to Virginia State Police.

Nokesville man faces jury, accused of planning robbery that led to Lincoln Williams Jr.’s murder TRIAL, from page 1 Following his conviction, Ellis was sentenced to 51 years in prison.

Ellis, however, has maintained his innocence throughout the case and has since appealed his conviction to the Court of Appeals of Virginia, where his case is pending.

During his trial, Ellis’ attorney claimed he was not involved in the robbery and homicide at all; that he did not own or use a gun and was not connected to the scene of the murder by any physical evidence. His attorney said that the only evidence against her client was the word of the alleged co-conspirators, who are also charged in the crime. She pointed out that investigators never found the murder weapon.

This week, prosecutors didn’t allege that Farmer was physically present when Williams was shot; rather, they claimed he was responsible for Williams’ death and set up an “ambush” of Williams in his driveway as he returned home that night.

“Without [Farmer] planning the robbery, Lincoln Williams might still be alive today,” Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Cassandra said in her opening statement on Monday.

Farmer had been scheduled to go on trial in March 2020, immediately following Ellis’ conviction, but the pandemic repeatedly delayed proceedings until this month. He faces life in prison if convicted.

Victim’s parents testify about moments after shooting

The victim’s father, Lincoln Williams Sr., testified Monday that he had met Farmer 12 days before his son’s death. On Aug. 14, 2019, Farmer came to the Williams’ residence on Old Auburn Road and introduced himself as “Rude Boy,” Williams Sr. told the jury.

Williams Sr. said that he confronted Farmer about hanging out with his son, telling the jury that

he didn’t trust Farmer. “[Farmer] said he was taking my son under his wing to teach him ‘the game,’” Williams Sr. told the jury.

When asked what he understood “the game” to mean, Williams Sr. said that it meant “to be a hustler” and to sell drugs. When Farmer came to the Williams’ residence in mid-August, Williams Sr. said that he saw his son and Farmer with cocaine in Williams Jr.’s bedroom.

On the evening of his son’s death, Williams Sr. said that he again saw cocaine in his son’s bedroom. “We got into it, so I was kind of pissed off at him,” Williams Sr. said. His son then left to go to Walmart, leaving before 10 p.m.

A motion sensor installed in the driveway alerted Williams Sr. that someone was in the driveway at 10:11 p.m., he testified. He ignored it. “I always go outside,” he said of the motion-sensor alerts, “and I didn’t that night because I figured it was a stupid animal.”

At about 10:30 p.m., Williams Jr. staggered inside and woke up his mother, Crystal Williams. At first, “I thought he had just been beat up,” she testified Monday; there was so much blood, she said, it was impossible to see what would later be identified as a single gunshot wound to his forehead.

“I kept asking, ‘Do you know who did this?’ And he kept telling me, ‘Yes.’” When Williams Sr. became aware of what happening, he grabbed a gun and went outside to look for the perpetrators, but he didn’t see anything in the driveway or the yard; a few moments later, he saw a car speeding down the road in front of the house.

Williams Sr. then went back inside and called 911, he testified.

When on the phone with a dispatcher, Williams Sr. repeatedly asked his son who had shot him while his mother tried to clean blood

off his body. “He wouldn’t tell me,” Williams Sr. said. “He might have been trying, but he was so full of blood.” Instead, Williams Jr. initially held up two fingers in response to the question, his father testified.

Eventually, Williams Jr. gained the strength to speak. “He said – it just spat right out – he said: ‘Rude Boy!’” Williams Sr. testified.

“The last thing my son said to me before he died in my hallway was: ‘Don’t let me die.’”

The next day, Williams Sr. discovered that his backpack – which was exactly like one used by his son -- had been stolen from his unlocked vehicle. The father’s backpack contained ordinary items like heartburn medication and a phone charging cable, he said.

An identical backpack was found in Williams Jr.’s bedroom, according to testimony from Virginia State Police Senior Special Agent Michael Jones on Monday. That backpack contained 38-caliber ammunition and was found along with a 38-caliber revolver and a “tactical shotgun,” he said.

“White chunky material … consistent with cocaine” and a mixing bowl containing a similar substance were also found in the victim’s bedroom, he testified. Jones also found what he suspected to be “owe sheets” consistent with someone dealing narcotics, he testified.

Farmer takes the stand in his own defense

Farmer took the stand Tuesday, the only witness called by defense attorney Robert Bryan.

Farmer admitted to coming up with the idea of robbing Williams and enlisting Ellis’ help -- Ellis and Farmer lived in the same house, and Ellis was dating Farmer’s sister. But, Farmer claimed, it was Ellis who initiated the plan to travel to Williams’ residence and to rob Williams at

gunpoint.

Farmer’s original plan was to “strong-arm” Williams at Farmer’s residence, not at Williams’ house, Farmer claimed on the stand, noting that he was upset at Williams for selling him substandard cocaine.

When Williams advertised on social media that he had just received a new batch of cocaine to sell, Farmer said that he set up a time to buy cocaine from Williams; the intention was to rob Williams during that interaction.

On the stand, Farmer said that he had a change of heart while driving Ellis to Williams’ residence and that he told Ellis that he didn’t want to go through with the robbery. “I decided I didn’t want to do it. I thought it was a bad idea.”

In response, “[Ellis] rolled the window down and started shooting the gun out the window,” Farmer said. “And then he started to point the gun at me. … [Ellis] told me to shut the f--- up and keep driving.”

Farmer claimed that he was “fearful for his life” during these moments.

Farmer said that he then dropped Ellis off a short distance from Williams’ residence, and Ellis got into a vehicle with Lucretia Robinson, Farmer testified. Farmer said that he then drove ahead of the second vehicle, pointed out Williams’ residence to the pair, then drove back toward Nokesville. (Robinson has since pleaded guilty to acting as an accessory to a homicide after the fact.)

During cross examination, Farmer admitted to driving away from the area because he wanted to establish an alibi and also acknowledged that he initially lied to investigators about his involvement in the robbery.

Earlier, Farmer said of his false statements to police: “I didn’t want to tell them anything at first, but after the fact my conscience started eating at me.”

Nokesville man faces jury, accused of planning robbery that led to Lincoln Williams Jr.’s murder TRIAL, from page 8 Farmer claimed Tuesday that he tried to contact Williams to warn him that Ellis was going to ambush him. “I was going to call him and tell him, ‘Yo, there’s somebody waiting on you,’” said Farmer, but he added that cell phone service in the area is spotty and that he was unable to get through to Williams in the minutes before the shooting.

Farmer claimed that Ellis arrived at their shared home at roughly midnight and again threatened him with a gun. “Don’t start asking questions.

Don’t worry about it,” Farmer said that Ellis told him. Farmer claimed that, until the next morning, “I didn’t even know [Williams] got robbed.”

During cross examination, Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Abigail Owens attempted to poke holes in Farmer’s testimony, pointing out that Farmer did not bring up the story about Ellis pointing a gun at him in the vehicle until months after he was arrested. Owens also pressed him about why he didn’t call the police if he was truly concerned for Williams’ safety.

Additionally, as Owens pointed out, Farmer said in a February 2020 interview that the story about Ellis threatening him in the vehicle was a lie, according to separate testimony from Fauquier Det. Jonathan Waddell.

Detectives say that Farmer confessed to planning robbery On Tuesday, three Lincoln Williams Jr. Fauquier detectives

took the stand and told the jury that Farmer had confessed to planning to rob Williams. “[Farmer] said that he set up the robbery of Lincoln Williams, and he would repeat it numerous times,” testified Capt. Richard MacWelch. At another point Farmer told him: “Robberies are a 5050. They can go bad,” according to MacWelch’s testimony.

Farmer “was pretty adamant that he did set up the robbery to take place there,” said Det. Chris Bream on Tuesday, referencing a police interview in the days following the shooting. Farmer told him that he had led Ellis, who was in another vehicle, to Williams’ home prior to the shooting and then driven away, according to Bream’s testimony. “[Farmer] was supposed to get his cut,” following the robbery, Bream said, adding later the object of the robbery was powder cocaine.

Det. John Thorpe said that Farmer initially lied to him during an interview in the days following the incident. “[Farmer] would say, ‘I lied to you before. I’m telling the truth now,’” testified Thor-

pe. Eventually, Farmer confessed to setting up a robbery at Williams’ home and to enlisting Ellis to rob Williams. “[Farmer] set up the robbery for Mr. Ellis to conduct,” Thorpe said. He added that Farmer had told him that Ellis “was supposed to wait for the victim to get home” and that Farmer knew that Ellis would be armed.

When Thorpe questioned Farmer why Williams had said “Rude Boy” was responsible for the crime, Farmer told him that “he figured the victim knew he was being set up,” according to Thorpe’s testimony.

Williams’ self-described best friend, Garrett Smoot, also took the stand Tuesday, testifying that he and Williams drove to Winchester earlier on Aug. 26 and that they each purchased $1,600 worth of cocaine to re-sell. Williams told him he was going to make a sale that night at Williams’ residence, Smoot testified, though he was unsure who the buyer was.

Watercolor workshop scheduled for July 27 Artist Sonja Forster will teach a workshop on basic watercolor painting techniques from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 27. The offering is sponsored by the Warrenton Antiquarian Society and will be held on the grounds of historic Weston, a 19th-century farmstead in Casanova.

The workshop will be the second of four WAS workshops scheduled between June and September.

The fee for the class is $75, with proceeds going to support the design of an art and education center at the site of the former Casanova Hunt Kennels at Weston.

To register or for more information, those interested may call 540-229-0114; the deadline to register is Wednesday, July 21.

About the artist

Sonja Forster has a studio located in the Vint Hill area. She grew up on a farm in South Africa, drawing the native plants and animals around her and developing skills in watercolor, acrylic, gouache and oil. Her interest in a realistic painting style along with an unrestricted palette of color was strongly influenced by the great diversity of African culture, she said.

Like her father who moved to South Africa from Germany to be closer to nature, Forster’s passions included environmental conservation, as well as drawing and painting the natural world. At the age of 18,

imagining a career helping endangered species and local habitat, she began a nature conservation degree, only to find herself chair-bound a year later after a serious car accident. Forster began a renewed interest in drawing and painting and, while completing her degree, began studying with accomplished artists in a range of mediums.

Once back on her feet, Forster began traveling throughout Africa and, with her engineer husband, moved to England. After 3 years, she, her husband and two daughters relocated back to South Africa where Forster established a studio and gallery. Six years ago, Sonja and her family moved to Fauquier County.

True to her roots, Forster said she remains passionate about land and animals, as well as the lifting, blending and layering of color and brush strokes.

Bringing people together to learn these basics is her way of honoring a love of nature, the joy she’s found in her artwork and the importance of helping to build a sense of community in her new home.

According to Forster, learning to paint doesn’t have to be complicated. With some basic techniques anyone can quickly find long moments of happiness.

“Painting offers me peace and a place to meditate on the beauty of nature and what the world has to offer,” she said.

Sonja Forster will offer a three-hour workshop on watercolor painting on July 27.

“These are exciting times to be a landowner,” Robert Banner, who works for a conservation investment firm, told local business leaders at a recent Warrenton Rotary meeting.

“You don’t have to cut your timber and harvest crops to make money.

You can just let your trees grow.”

Banner has been pitching the idea that “nutrient banks” can be a boon to Virginia landowners, all while providing environmental benefits.

Nutrient banking is the practice of reforesting land to improve the health of nearby waterways. Nutrient runoff -- often in the form of fertilizer, pesticides or sewage -- can contaminate the water and throw delicate ecosystems off balance. By stabilizing the soil, the trees reduce the amount of nutrient runoff going into the surrounding watershed.

In Virginia, nutrient pollution has severely damaged water quality in the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay watersheds. According to a 2016 study by the Chesapeake Bay Program, 82% of the bay is at least partially impaired by toxic contaminants, especially nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural runoff.

Declining water quality prompted state lawmakers in 2005 to pass legislation to combat pollution in the bay by inducing landowners to convert their land from traditional crop or pastureland to forest. The Chesapeake Bay Nutrient Credit Exchange Program, regulated through the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, awards credits to landowners who put nutrient banks on their property. These “nutrient credits” can then be sold to companies that are required by state and federal law to offset the detrimental environmental impacts of their developments.

According to the Virginia DEQ, the program is particularly aimed at reducing nonpoint source pollution. Nonpoint source pollution is so named because the pollution has no single fixed source; it happens when rainfall causes nutrient runoff from farms, lawns and building sites over a wide area.

“The DEQ is putting a [value] on how much pollution is being mitigated,” said Marie Norwood, land management outreach associate at the Warrenton-based Clifton Institute. “It’s a very popular concept because it’s seen as a way to incentivize nonpoint polluters to engage in conservation.”

Banner’s firm, ACRE Investment Management, seeks to act as a middleman between landowners and the state DEQ, helping landowners set up nutrient banks and qualify for the nutrient credit trading market. His firm then manages the sale of these

Rob Banner nutrient credits to developers in need of offsetting the negative environmental impacts of their projects on the watershed.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, for example, purchased nutrient credits in 2019 to offset the impact of their renovations at Dulles International Airport.

“This is the new commerce of conservation,” said Banner. “It rewards you as a landowner for doing the right thing.”

Founded in The Plains in 2003, ACRE initially applied its middleman model to carbon reforestation along the Mississippi River. Landowners plant forests to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and receive carbon credits, which ACRE then subsequently sells to corporations in need of offsetting their emissions.

The firm eventually reforested more than 120,000 acres of land in the lower Mississippi region, according to company materials. Recently, however, ACRE has been looking closer to home and the prospect of developing a lucrative new nutrient banking market in Virginia.

A carbon credit is a tradeable certificate that allows the emission of one ton of carbon dioxide. For companies that emit greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, the purchase of carbon credits allows them to offset the effect of their emissions on air quality.

Nutrient credits, on the other hand, are certificates that represent a specific amount of nutrient pollution filtered out of a watershed. When a construction project causes nutrient-rich soil to flow into rivers, the sale of nutrient credits is meant to offset the impact on water quality.

“The value has been in the carbon market,” said Banner. “But the water quality market is picking up.”

As part of its deal with landowners, ACRE takes a 30% share of the profits from nutrient credit sales and approximately 50% of carbon credit profits.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | July 14, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Our nation needs to learn from history before we can move ahead The author of the opinion piece titled “The racial future of our country lies ahead of us rather than behind,” [Fauquier Times, June 30], regales us with meaningless stories of his positive “experiences” with Black people and throws at us a bunch of “whatabouts” regarding successful blacks. This is somehow meant to show us that progress has been made and that he is a “good guy” who wants the best for the country.

Unfortunately, he shoots himself in the foot early on in his missive

with the statement that the piece he is responding to is “allegedly about how we have failed as a nation due to white supremacy.” No “allegedly” about it. This country has a 400year history of white supremacy and racial discrimination, and little progress has been made on rectifying that.

In order to work for a more just future, we must look to the past and understand and undo all that has gone before, not try to ignore it and say that talking about it is picking on white people and divisive.

In a final display of cluelessness, the writer states that “Americans of all colors and ethnic groups should welcome July 4th, celebrating our independence from England.” Does he not realize that the Revolution was in part fought to preserve slavery? That it took another 90 years and a civil war to end it? That post-Civil War segregation and Jim Crow and economic discrimination have held Blacks back right up until the present time?

And let’s not talk about Native Americans, who have suffered

under white supremacy even more than Black. One quarter of [General George] Washington’s army at the end of the Revolution was made up of Black and indigenous soldiers, and the promise of July 4th was a hollow one for all.

In closing, the writer says that he fears Juneteenth will become more divisive. As long as he and others like him continue to think in racist and white supremacist ways, that is certainly true.

TIM BARR Manassas

Vigil organizers feel there is more work to be done Birthdays are once a year; there is one Fourth of July; and New Year’s Day is one day -- so why does the Black Lives Matter Vigil for Action go on and on through wintry days, sweltering heat and rain, every Saturday morning at Warrenton’s Courthouse Square?

Because we have something to say -- and it bears repeating.

For 400 years, descendants of free and enslaved African Americans have been marginalized by a system that renders them less educated and wealthy than the rest of society, and more likely to have health problems, live in substandard housing and be targeted by law enforcement. Ensuring the rights of African Americans doesn’t diminish anyone else’s rights; it makes our democracy stronger.

Sponsors of the Vigil are gratified by far more waves and honks than less positive reactions. We

leave every Saturday with a renewed commitment to learn and advocate for change.

Our work is more than one day a week. Over the last 12 months, our six sponsoring organizations: • Hosted forums, dialogs and events to foster learning, sharing and fellowship; • Advocated in a nonpartisan way for legislative and policy changes at the state and local levels that have helped level the playing field for all Virginians; • Created programs and projects that deepen our understanding of the rich heritage of Fauquier County; and • Registered new voters and published voter information.

We are committed to expanding our personal relationships to include people from different backgrounds. The idea is to move past racial and

ethnic silos to better understand those whose path has been different from ours.

The Black Lives Matter Vigil for Action begins every Saturday at 10 am in Warrenton.

Please join us. No experience necessary. We are grateful to the Warrenton Police Department for ensuring everyone’s right to freedom of speech.

Vigil sponsors: League of Women Voters of Prince William and Fauquier, the NAACPFauquier County Branch, the Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County, the Piedmont Race Amity Project, the Northern Piedmont Chapter of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy and Coming to the Table - Northern Shenandoah Valley.

Hit-and-run suspect will face grand jury

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

The Maryland man accused of leaving the scene of a traffic crash after striking a 2-year-old girl on a highway near Opal will face a grand jury after a judge ruled there is enough evidence for the case to move forward.

José Santiago Mendoza, 66, of Bladensburg, Maryland is charged with one felony count of leaving the scene of a traffic crash after allegedly striking and killing 2-year-old Aubrey Dodd on Jan. 16 along a busy stretch of James Madison Highway (U.S. 15/17/29) near Lees Mill Road.

Mendoza has not been charged with maliciously or negligently causing the crash itself.

At a preliminary hearing Wednesday, July 7, Fauquier County General District Court Judge Jessica Foster ruled there was probable cause – a lower standard of evidence than required for a conviction – to move the case to a grand jury, which convenes July 26. If the grand jury also rules there is sufficient evidence to meet the probable-cause standard of evidence, the case will be tried in circuit court.

A man who was caring for the victim and two other children on the day of the incident testified that Aubrey had apparently walked about 100 yards from a residence onto the highway.

The girl had gone inside the residence with a 9-year-old relative, the man testified, out of sight

José Santiago Mendoza of the two adults watching the children. The man said that he ran out to the highway a few minutes later when he realized that there had been a crash on the highway and that the girl was not in the residence.

During the hearing, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Doug Rogers called witnesses who testified that hair belonging to the victim had been found on the bumper of a vehicle registered to Mendoza and that pieces of Mendoza’s vehicle had been found at the crash scene.

A man also testified he had narrowly avoided striking a small child at the same place on the highway where the victim was found minutes later. This man also testified his wife took pictures of a tan Mitsubishi SUV that passed him farther down the highway; those pictures led investigators to Mendoza, a detective told the court.

Defense attorney Pilar Falo acknowledged that prosecutors had presented evidence indicating that Mendoza’s vehicle had struck the victim.

But, she argued, prosecutors had not presented evidence that Mendoza was driving the vehicle or that the driver of the vehicle knew – or could have known – that they had struck a child. Prosecutors had failed to prove that the driver had “any knowledge of what the individual driving the Mitsubishi collided with,” she said.

Falo also pointed to testimony from a Fauquier County detective that indicated a witness at the scene of the crash told investigators that they had run over the child with their vehicle. The witness told detectives that the girl “looked like debris in the road,” the detective said, but the driver could not definitively say whether that incident took place before or after Mendoza’s vehicle struck the victim. (The witness has not been charged with a crime.)

Mendoza was initially held in custody without bond after the incident, but a circuit court judge ordered Mendoza released on bond at a Feb. 4 hearing.

SOPHIA SPYTEK, GRAHAM ZONTINE NAMED 2021 FAUQUIER TIMES WAKEFIELD ATHLETES OF THE YEAR Sophia played soccer, field hockey, swam, rode horses

By Billy Marin

Special to the Times

Participation is a Spytek family trait.

During her time at Wakefield School, Sophia Spytek experimented with different sports. She played on the varsity soccer team, her first sporting love.

She also picked up field hockey in middle school, and played on that varsity team, too.

Her sophomore year, she signed up for the swim team seemingly on a whim “because the school offered it.”

“Sophia is the kind of person who loves to try things. She values competition and chases whatever challenge is in front of her,” said Stephanie Spytek, Sophia’s mother.

Zontine: Scrappy three-sport star became Owls’ X-factor

And maybe that’s why Graham, a Wakefield School student since before kindergarten, has been a versatile multi-sport athlete for the majority of his life.

ZONTINE, from page 19

HOME SWEET HOME IMPROVEMENTS

He’s played soccer every year since age 5, except for his sophomore year at Wakefield.

“I skipped soccer in 10th grade, and looking back, I regret that,” he said. “When I came back in 11th grade, it was an incredible experience.”

With Zontine among the midfielder corps, the Fighting Owls made Delaney Athletic Conference finals and the second round of the VISAA state tournament in his junior year.

Though not normally a starter, Zontine played most of the first half and all of the second half in that state tourney contest. “I really thought that was enjoyable,” he said. “That was a great experience with a lot of great people.”

Point guard in hoops

Whether you are planning to remodel your kitchen, transform your master bath, finish a basement or build an addition, you need more than a contractor. You need a partner you can trust with the possession that says the most about what you value and the way you live.

Design Build Remodel 540.439.8890 HomeSweetHomeImprovements.com

Zontine also started in basketball.

“I’ve never had the best technique, but I’ve stuck to basketball and worked to improve,” he said.

After coming off the bench as a freshman on JV, Zontine grew into the starting point guard role as a sophomore. Making the varsity as a junior, he earned the starter’s role at the shooting guard spot.

“That was one of my favorite seasons,” he said. “I started to score more points and having a lot more fun.”

But it was Zontine’s tenacious defense that earned him the sobriquet “X-Factor.”

“Before a couple big games, my coach [Al Ford] would point to me and say that I was the X-Factor,” Zontine said. “He meant that if I could play a good game, get some steals, put up some points, get some assists, then we’d be able to win.”

The Owls nearly won a DAC tourney game against a higher-seeded opponent, making a bittersweet memory for Zontine. “We were playing Tandem Friends, and they’d already beaten us twice,” he recalled.

“We didn’t expect to be able to win.

They had more size and more seniors. We didn’t have any seniors at all.”

Tied 51-51 with mere seconds remaining, a 3-pointer sunk Wakefield’s hopes of an upset. The loss stung, but Zontine found solace. “I think I really impacted the score in that game. I really felt good about my performance,” he said.

Lacrosse it is

The rule at Wakefield is for middle-school students to choose three sports. Zontine chose tennis, but was open to adventures with a webbed stick. “In seventh grade my friend Harrison convinced me to join the lacrosse team,” Zontine said. “I instantly just loved it.”

It became his best sport. Zontine knew next to nothing about lacrosse, but became a force by eighth grade.

“I started scoring more and getting a bigger role on the team,” he said.

As a freshman midfielder, Zontine

led the Owls in goals and earned the team’s Most Valuable Player award.

“I distinctly remember a couple juniors and seniors weren’t happy that a freshman won the MVP award, but, I mean, I deserved it,” he said.

With a couple six-goal games to his credit, Zontine provided more than an offensive threat. He was adept at picking up ground balls and clearing the zone with his feet.

“I was pretty good at cradling and getting the ball out,” he said.

“I remember a game in tenth grade against Trinity Christian. I got the ball and three people were just whacking me left and right. To this day I don’t know how I held on to the ball, but I somehow weaseled out of it and got across the line.”

Zontine’s also had the winning goal in an 11-10 overtime win over Trinity Christian.

“It was intense. One of our defenders put a clean hit on one of their players and injured him, so they were mad at us. They were trying to hit us hard,” Zontine recalled.

Zontine cleared the ball and the Owls set up in their offensive zone.

The ball came back to Zontine. “I tell myself, I’m not passing this ball, I’m just going to shoot it,” he said.

From the left of the goal mouth, Zontine made a cut to the right. An aggressive defender launched himself at Zontine, going for a check.“He tried to go overtop of me and get my stick from behind, but I moved it out of the way and got an open goal.”

Zontine flung the ball into the empty portion of the net, giving the Owls a satisfying victory.

“That was the first game of our undefeated season,” he said proudly.

“We only played three games, but still undefeated.”

My father, my teacher

Matthew Zontine taught Graham in a senior-level Literature and Composition class at Wakefield this past year. “He tells these stories in class that I’ve already heard, like how he and my mom met in Peru when they almost got robbed,” said Zontine.

“So it’s funny to see my classmates hear them for the first time.”

For his senior thesis, Zontine designed a 38-page magazine covering the films of director Wes Anderson.

“That took a lot of long nights, but I’m happy with how it turned out,” he said. He got an A- in Dad’s class.

Zontine will enroll at James Madison University and is thinking about following in sister Hannah’s footsteps and studying computer science, with sports journalism also on his mind. His sports fix will come with intramural basketball and club lacrosse.

He’ll also keep a close eye on younger brother Eliot, a rising Wakefield freshman who plays all the same sports Graham did. “I need to make sure he keeps up the Zontine athletic name,” Graham said.

Sophia Spytek and Graham Zontine both have had multiple siblings at Wakefield.

Spytek’s sister Sydney is a rising junior, brother Joseph a rising eighth grader and sister Saylor a rising fifth grader. Zontine’s siblings Hannah, Catherine and Jakob all attended Wakefield and brother Eliot is a rising freshman.

SPYTEK, from page 19 “Sophia really enjoys the spirit of competition, especially when it’s a part of a team. She loves being a part of that environment and having that camaraderie,” said her mother, Stephanie.

While her parents and coaches call Spytek a natural athlete, her contributions are better defined by her attitude towards her teammates.

Coach Massey said Spytek is the type of player every coach or team-

mate wants. “She leads by example.

She’s not the type of captain who will scream at her teammates. She prefers to offer support and positivity, Sophia’s a quiet type of leader,” Massey said.

Her father called her a unifying presence. “She’s always been the quintessential player-coach,” said Joseph Spytek. “She’s not out there barking orders, but helping people out, always encouraging people, like a player-coach.”

Spytek’s senior season was

marred by pandemic precautions.

The Wakefield soccer team only got to play three games, and without the possibility of a postseason, there didn’t seem to be a lot at stake.

In the second game, multiple Wakefield players were injured, including Spytek with a rolled ankle.

Coach Massey called her and fellow co-captain Hayley Malinowski into his office to ask if the team wanted to play their last game against Randolph-Macon.

Massey knew that the already thin Wakefield roster, which had never had more than 14 players, would struggle to even finish the game.

Spytek and Malinowski emphatically responded yes, despite the difficulties the team would face. The game was tightly played before Randolph-Macon Academy pulled away in the second half for a 4-2 win.

“I wanted to play. I knew the game was going to be tough, but we said regardless of how hard it is, regardless of how badly we might lose, we want to play our last game together as a team,” she said.

Roster issues are nothing new for Wakefield athletes.

During Spytek’s sophomore year, the field hockey team had nine players in a sport that fields 11 in a match.

Often the Owls hoped opponents would graciously only field nine players as well, but not always, leaving Wakefield’s group unable to sub while already two players down.

“Sophia doesn’t mind being the underdog. She likes to rally the troops

by setting her example and showing that calm, determined presence as a leader,” Stephanie Spytek said.

“Sometimes we would play whole games with nine players against eleven, which is really mentally draining,” Sophia said, “but we managed to win a game, which is just a testament to our effort that year.”

Sydney, Sophia’s younger sister, joined her on the soccer team this past spring, but the sisters’ time together was shattered by the pandemic. Over the last two seasons, they got just three games together with 2020 wiped out entirely.

In the classroom, Spytek was a standout. She was one of three Wakefield graduates given Outstanding Senior Thesis honors for her paper “Killer Kidneys: The Physical and Economic Dangers of the International Organ Trade.”

She’ll attend William & Mary this fall, where she may explore medicine or veterinary studies.

Her mother is an obstetrician-gynecologist with a practice in Gainesville. She will also continue playing sports for club or intramural teams.

“Who knows what I’ll try! I want to play club sports, definitely soccer.

Maybe I’ll find something new I haven’t done before,`` Sophia said.

Remember, participation is a Spytek family trait. They’re competing in a family run-swim-run race this summer. “We’ll probably finish last, but the joy of sinking your teeth into a challenge as a family is a special thing,” said mom Stephanie.

We’ll be there in the darkest moments.

It’s great work if you can get it Lola the therapy horse is a natural in Virginia’s horse country

By Valerie Amster

Special to Fauquier Times

Like the rest of the nation, Lola had a very quiet 2021. She spent lots of time at local parks and visited Old Town Warrenton occasionally, but she could not do the work that she’s come to love.

That started to change in April, and now Lola is busy with her many commitments, jumping into her minivan at least once a week to spread cheer and bring smiles to local residents of all ages.

You see, Lola is a horse, a very small horse, so she fits neatly in the back of her owners’ customized minivan. The miniature horse’s schedule is once again overflowing with appointments to bring a special kind of therapy – some call it “fuzz therapy” – to those that need her the most.

Lola and the crew at A Little Magic, a group of volunteers and nurses that offers emotional therapy, recently visited Mountainside Montessori School in Marshall and the Belle Meade Montessori in Sperryville.

Multiple age groups at both schools were enthusiastic about helping Lola get back into the special head-space of the therapeutic animal after many

months away from her job.

At the schools, she stood sweetly to allow toddlers to stroke her hair, letting preschool children gently brush her and even jumping a tiny course of fences “in hand,” with elementary students at her side. Lola does regular therapeutic visits to The Villa at Suffield Meadows, the Fauquier Senior Center and White Springs Senior Living. She often puts her head in a senior’s lap or nuzzles their hands.

Many say having this type of therapy animal is a natural in Virginia’s horse country.

“Lola showed the children of the Boys and Girls Club the greatest kindness and connection,” said Lucia Hanover, director of the Fauquier chapter’s camp programming.

“Having time with such a talented and special horse meant the world to them. Lola is a wonderful addition to their summer camp experience.”

Lola is 14 years old and 29 inches tall. She’s a chestnut roan, though the spots on her back make her look almost like a baby fawn.

Lola became a registered therapy horse with Pet Partners of America in 2019. Lola also works

at Fauquier Health.

“It has been so rewarding watching Lola progress as … she’s been trained to be a therapy animal,” said Jordan Koepke, who boards the small mare at her Sligo Stables in Warrenton. “We marvel at the new tricks she’s learning all the time.

“I’ve never met a pony who will cross their legs on voice command.

“When Lola comes back to the barn from trips to visit the community, I always smile, imagining the retirement home residents that had a brighter day because they spent time with Lola. It’s nice that Lola is out there, bringing joy wherever she goes.”

“Lola learned the skills to be a therapy horse, but her greatest skill is instinctive,” said Lori Bakewell, a local writer who authored a book, “I am Lola,” recently released and to be featured at a book release party in September. “She knows when to be playful and when to be gentle. Lola reaches out with the exact energy needed in the moment.”

In June, a children’s song about Lola – “I Am Hopeful” – was released, with a full album – “I Am Lola” due out on July 20.

An album release party is planned

PHOTO BY CARRIE REED

Lori Bakewell, writer of the children’s book “I Am Lola,” and her husband, Lee Owens, visit with Lola at their Warrenton home.

Aug. 14 at Johnny Monarch’s in Marshall. From noon to 2 p.m., Mo Safren and Laura Luv will perform songs in English and Spanish, with Lola as the guest of honor.

Writer Lori Bakewell’s “I Am Lola” will be released this fall. The Open Book in Warrenton has a book party planned Sept. 11.

The commerce of conservation CONSERVATION, from page 16 In 2017, ACRE planted the first nutrient bank in Fauquier County at Great Meadow field events center in The Plains. Banner, who was president of the Great Meadow Foundation at the time, was looking to expand the equestrian events center and decided a nutrient bank could provide additional funding. After a $750 engagement fee to ACRE and the purchase of seedlings from the Virginia Department of Forestry, the newly planted 25-acre nutrient bank netted the foundation nearly $200,000. Banner was so taken with ACRE’s business model that he joined the company the following year.

Currently, ACRE has six active nutrient banks in the Piedmont region. And with Banner as an agent, the company is hoping to expand that roster.

When a landowner decides to contract ACRE, explained Banner, it takes a couple of months to decide where the trees should go. The company then plants seedlings in the spring, after which Virginia DEQ approves the nutrient bank and releases the credits. The landowner must also agree to never develop the land with the nutrient bank. In addition to managing the sale of the credits, ACRE monitors the trees’ growth for 10 years after planting.

“I think there’s a lot of potential in this program,” said Amelia Stansell, a member of Warrenton Rotary. “On the capital side, it can compensate landowners for being really good stewards of the land.”

Norwood, on the other hand, sees nutrient banks as more of a first step. “It’s not a cure all,” she said. “It’s a good tool for people who need a bit of incentive, but only one of many strategies to control [nutrient] pollution.”

Further measures, according to Norwood, would include putting cattle fences along waterways, reducing pesticide and fertilizer use and planting native vegetation.

“The Chesapeake Bay is our nation’s largest estuarian system,” she added. “Its pollution is a big, big thing to tackle.”

A $100,000 grant will support Wakefield School’s completion of its new theater, auditorium Wakefield School announced that it will receive a $100,000 matching grant from The Edward E. Ford Foundation in support of its renovation of the campus’s former Lower School gym into The George L. Ohrstrom Jr. Theater & Auditorium.

According to its website, The E.E. Ford Foundation seeks to improve secondary education by supporting U.S. independent schools and encouraging promising practices. John Gulla, the Foundation’s executive director, made a virtual tour, meeting with students, board members and administrators. Wakefield School was one of only 13 schools nationwide to receive one of the Foundation’s 2021 traditional grants.

Wakefield’s Head of School Ashley Harper said, “The Foundation Board’s first

consideration is, ‘Is this school worthy of investment?’ If so, then they want to fund what that school thinks it needs to move its mission forward.”

On his impressions from his virtual visit, Gulla commented on the “happiness, excitement, and pride” the many constituents had for Wakefield, which was “both apparent and consistent” across his meetings.

According to Wakefield’s director of development and long-time theater advocate Ann-Charlotte Robinson, “The George Ohrstrom Theater is a dream come true for us at Wakefield ... To provide a theater for our community while also retaining an improved space for many other community gatherings is an extraordinary achievement.”

OBITUARIES Katherine B. Ham December 1, 1930 – July 4, 2021 As the doctor made his way through a major blizzard to her beloved grandma’s house on 85 Palmer Bridge Street, Katherine, later known as “Kay,” was born. Her parents, Stephen and Anna (Kish) Lascko, whose families immigrated from Hungary a few years before, settled in Torrington, Connecticut. There, surrounded by a large and loving family, Kay grew up. She was a graduate of Torrington High School, played the fife in the school band, worked at the local drug store, and became an exceptional ice skater during those cold winter months.

While most of her family remained in Connecticut, Kay’s life took her in a different direction. Married to a young sailor, Stephen Koplaski, they would have three children, Barbara, Steve, and Joy, and travel the world.

Living in both Brazil and India for tour duties, Kay’s journeys would also take her to places in Africa, Europe, and the east coast of the United States. Her adventures included celebrating Carnival in Brazil, crossing the Jhelum River in Kashmir on the back of her guide, and riding a camel out to the Egyptian pyramids in the Sahara, among many others. Always loving to talk about her journeys abroad, Kay and her family would ultimately settle in her beloved Virginia. There, while her children grew up, she worked for the United States Navy as a Travel Finance Specialist until her retirement.

In her later years, Kay would meet William Ham and together they shared their lives with their families, who lived in Virginia and Texas. And while they traveled to places throughout the United States, as well as England and Israel, they loved spending time with their grandchildren – Kristy, Katie, Chris, Kelly, Mark, and Lauren. Celebrations, cookouts, and beach vacations were among the many special times they had with their families.

Kay was an amazing grandma, and a great grandmother, known affectionately as GG! From the oldest grandchild, Kristy, to the youngest great granddaughter, Ellie, Kay was very much a part of their lives. She attended their sporting events, took them to appointments, joined in on vacations, made school pickup runs, and shared in as many of their events as possible. Among her favorite things with her “grands” were trips to get ice cream – strawberry being the best, seeing the latest movie out that they wanted, and art projects of all kinds. Kay kept up with them on Facebook, shared text messages, and of course, called them for their annual birthday singing! To all of them, her wisdom, experiences, and wit guided their choices, as she kept their confidences close to her heart. Like her children, the “grands” always knew she was there for them.

In addition to her children and grandchildren, Kay loved the Lord Jesus with all her heart. While Kay was a Sunday school teacher for children, played the handbells, and sang in the church choir, she graduated from the Bible Institute in 1998. She also was involved in women’s Bible studies and retreats at Grace Life Church in Bristow and supported Samaritan’s Purse as well as the Fac Foundation (Manjo Children’s Home) in Cameroon.

As matriarch of a family near and far, Kay was a mother, aunt, grandmother, and great grandmother who touched the lives of her family and so many others.

She is survived by her beloved daughters, Barbara and her husband, Francis Payne; and Joy and her husband, Roger Kelly; by her beloved grandchildren, Kristy and her husband, John Lamper; Chris Walker; Katie and her husband, Daniel Gross; and Kelly and her husband, Andrew Green; and her beloved great grandchildren, Kaylee Lamper, Hunter Lamper, and Ellie Kelly.

She was preceded in death by her precious son, Stephen Koplaski.

Her daughters and their families wish to thank all of you for your prayers, love, and support. She loved us all so well – how lucky and blessed we are to have had her in our lives.

A Celebration of Life to commemorate her homegoing to the Lord will be held on Saturday, July 24 at 11:00 a.m. at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, followed by a graveside gathering at Beahms Chapel Cemetery, 1224 US Hwy 211 East, Luray, Virginia.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to a children’s home that Kay supported at the following address: The Fac Foundation (Manjo Children’s Home) 14068 Hawkeye Run Court Bristow, VA 20136

Juanita J. Russell Juanita J. Russell, 87 of Orlean, VA passed away on July 10, 2021 at Fauquier Hospital.

She was born on April 25, 1934 in Orlean, a daughter of the late John Garland Russell, Sr. and Mary Jeffries Russell. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings and their spouses, James Garland, Jr. and Thelma Russell, James Edward Russell, Emory and Gaynelle Russell, Martha Russell, Wallace and Elaine Russell, Horace and Mary Anne Russell, Ethel and Rudasill Hume, Bill and Carolyn Russell, and John Colvin.

Juanita was a lifelong member of Orlean United Methodist Church actively serving in many ways. In 2017, she and the Russell family were presented an award on “Orlean Day” by the community, recognizing over one hundred years of service.

She is survived by her brother and his wife, Harry R. and Susan Russell; her sister, Emily Colvin and many nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, July 15 from 6-8 PM at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton and on Friday, July 16 from 10:30 AM until the funeral service begins at 11:00 AM at Orlean United Methodist Church.

James Walter Cooper James Walter Cooper, 80, of Catlett, Virginia made his journey home on June 30, 2021. He was born on May 14, 1941 in Jolo, West Virginia and was the son of the late Gus Cooper and Ellen Cantrell Vanover.

Jim married Naomi Joyce Kennedy of Bradshaw, West Virginia on November 14, 1959 at the courthouse in Lebanon, Virginia on their eighth date. It was young love from the moment she agreed to go out with him.

Jim, Joyce, and their infant daughter Kim moved from West Virginia to Alexandria, Virginia in 1961. Virginia would always be their home and in 1984 he purchased a lovely gentleman’s farm in Catlett. For the next 37 years, they made that little farm the family home. Holidays were celebrated with brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews at the farm. Then grandchildren, greatnieces and great-nephews grew to love the farm and Mawmaw and Poppa, as they were affectionately called by many. The only thing Jim loved more than his family was God. He was a passionate member of the Calverton Baptist Church in Midland, Virginia as well as a trustee of the church. His most frequent prayer was that others would come to know, love, and accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. His relationship with God was unshakeable and his dedication and obedience is a testimony to many.

Jim was preceded in death by his mother and father, son, Douglas Wayne Cooper of Pounding Mill, Virginia, and sister, Shelby Stepp of Nashville, Tennessee. He is survived by his loving wife, Joyce Cooper of Catlett, Virginia, daughter, Kim Johnson of Casanova, Virginia, grandson, Terrence (TJ) Johnson and wife Emily of Bealeton, Virginia, granddaughter, Eva Johnson and partner Tim Boswell of Casanova, Virginia, great-grandchildren, Amelia, Allen, and Ashur Boswell of Casanova, Virginia, sister, Shirley Kennedy of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and many nieces, nephews, and their families.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 17, 2021 at 2:00 PM at Calverton Baptist Church in Midland, Virginia.

STAY IN TOUCH THE OLDFASHIONED WAY! With states beginning to ease their corona virus restrictions, people may be tempted to start visiting elderly relatives in nursing homes and assisted living facilities; however, those visits may need to wait a while longer. Not only are elderly people more likely to contract the virus, but they are also less able to fight it. What can we do to be sure our loved ones know we are thinking about them? Since modern tools like video calling may be difficult for them to figure out remotely, try going old school.

Care packages, handwritten letters and cards, and of course, a regular old phone call will lift their spirits and reduce feelings of isolation.

In this unprecedented time, families will need to get creative to stay in touch with their loved ones. Any families are taking varying tacks to keep in contact with their loved ones, many of whom don’t fully understand why their family is no longer visiting. Nursing homes are also helping to facilitate contact.

When the time comes for you to arrange funeral services for a loved one, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

P.S If you have the time and inclination, ask your loved one currently living in a nursing home or assisted living if there are other residents who could use a spirit-lifting letter or card, and reach out to them.

Welcome to the new legacy!

Still your bank.

On April 1, 2021, The Fauquier Bank merged with Virginia National Bank. The combined bank will cover the counties of Fauquier, Prince William, Frederick, and Albemarle, and the cities of Richmond and Charlottesville. Bringing together over 140 years of combined banking experience to our community. The transition of the combined bank will take some time, but we expect to serve all clients at all locations

by August 2021. Welcome to the new legacy!

As we continue to grow, we will never lose sight of the critical ingredients to our continued success. Exceptional service begins and ends with people.

That’s why we say, “It’s all about people . . . and always will be.”
