Fauquier schools brace for the unthinkable — an active shooter Schools to add more combat tourniquets, cameras and secure entryways By Colleen LaMay
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Even before the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the Fauquier County School Division was working to increase security at all 20 elementary, middle and high schools for the upcoming school year. That work includes adding secure vestibules at the front entrances of schools, a work in progress due to funding and supply-chain issues. In addition, schools are putting more cameras inside and outside schools, adding new desktop and phone apps that teachers and staff can use to summon
police and training staff on how to use combat tourniquets on people with severe gunshot injuries. “I’m almost sad that we have to talk about things like this and deal with things like this, but we … just have to keep our kids as safe as we can,” said David Graham, assistant superintendent of administration for the Fauquier County School Division. All school staff will be trained to use combat tourniquets to staunch the flow of blood from gunshots, Graham said. “If you can keep the bleeding stopped and get them care, there’s a chance they can make it.” Uncontrolled bleeding is the number one cause of death after a mass shooting. “I hope I am getting ready to spend money on tourniquets we never use,’ Graham said.

New online tool helps Fauquier Hospital patients estimate cost of care in advance By Colleen LaMay
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
A new online tool aimed at centralizing hospital service prices from across the state was launched recently by the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association. The tool consolidates public access to online links to pricing at every hospital in Virginia, including Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton, to “help support patients’ health care decision-making,” according to the VHHA. Here are the links to help patients and their families find cost information at Fauquier Hospital: • Cost estimator allows patients to find the estimated cost of hundreds of procedures, based on their health coverage: https://www. fauquierhealth.org/cost-estimator • Financial assistance program will help patients determine whether they are eligible for financial assistance if they cannot pay their bills: https://www.fauquierhealth.org/financial-assistance • Hospital charges listing https://www.fauquierhealth.org/hospital-charges-listing is a complete list of all services and items provided by Fauquier Hospital, including the five most common charges for these services. The hospital recommends the Cost Estimator as a better tool for most patients. See COST, page 13

Supervisors table Old Tavern intersection funding application, ask state to build roundabouts at three other locations By Coy Ferrell
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
County supervisors decided July 14 not to move forward with an application for state-funded improvements to the Old Tavern intersection of U.S. 17, citing a lack of community consensus about what design concept would make the federal highway’s intersection with Old Tavern Road and Enon Church Road safer. They promised to work with the people who live near the intersection, however, to reach a consensus on how to improve the intersection and noted that the state plans to add new safety measures soon. Three other applications to the Smart Scale program moved forward without controversy. If approved for funding by the Commonwealth Transportation Board, the plans laid out in the applications would add roundabouts at the intersection of Dum-

fries Road and Greenwich Road south of Vint Hill; at the intersection of Va. 28, Old Dumfries Road and Elk Run Road in Catlett; and at the intersection of Va. 28, Bengü Gerek Avenue and Station Drive in Bealeton. If approved by the state board, the projects will receive funding in 2028 or 2029.
“I hope you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and go to work here, and let’s figure out what works and bring that back to VDOT.”
‘There’s just not a clear consensus’
Based on the findings of a recent study by the Virginia Department of Transportation, supervisors were considering two options at the Old Tavern intersection: a “split intersection” design and a “restricted crossing U-turn.” But Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District), who represents the east side of the intersection, cited feedback from people who live near the intersection and said that neither option had widespread community support. Ten people spoke at a public hearing before the vote, and few speakers had anything good to say about either proposed solution for an intersection that has been the object of intense scrutiny since a traffic crash last September injured two Fauquier High School students. “We’ve heard tonight from these folks that there’s just not a clear consensus,” Trumbo said after the public hearing. He vowed to “work with members of the community, so we can work to refine solutions and get some clear consensus” before the next round of Smart Scale applications are due in 2024. “I hope you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and go to work here, and let’s figure out what works and

bring that back to VDOT,” Trumbo said, addressing members of the public gathered in the Warren Green Building meeting room. At an earlier work session, Trumbo pointed to a list of improvements that VDOT plans to implement shortly, including rumble strips on Old Tavern Road, “optical speed bars” and “warning flashers” on U.S. 17. Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel (Marshall District), who represents the other side of the intersection, said in remarks echoed by other supervisors that she was reluctant to wait on applying for funding. “We want to do anything we can to never have that happen,” she said, referencing residents’ fear of more serious crashes. “It felt very challenging for me to say, ‘Let’s not do anything right now.’” But, she said, she was convinced that moving forward with improvements that had so little popular support would be imprudent.

Warrenton Town Council votes on political speech and roundabouts By Colleen LaMay
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Ordinance for special-event permits approved
The Warrenton Town Council approved a new ordinance on permits for “organized public gatherings” that waives the $100 application fee for groups engaging in political free speech. Political speech is protected by the U.S. Constitution. Scott Christian, of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, thanked the council for its “commitment to our Constitution” and said, “Our local democratic institutions will be strengthened by your actions.” Christian is an organizer of the Black Lives Matter Vigils for Action, which gathers every Saturday morning in downtown Warrenton. The council delayed a vote on the ordinance last month after members of the group said the fee posed a financial burden for groups that gather frequently.
Here are the locations of three proposed roundabouts that will be sent to the Virginia Department of Transportation for consideration. As first written, the ordinance required an application fee of $100 that would cover seven days of gatherings, either consecutive or spread out over weeks or months. A new application fee would be required after each batch of seven gatherings. The ordinance lacked an exception for political speech. The revised ordinance says, “No

Warrenton’s Parks and Rec director will fill in for departing town manager By Colleen LaMay
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Tommy Cureton, director of the Warrenton Department of Parks and Recreation, will take on the job of acting town manager for Warrenton for the next 30 days. The Warrenton Town Council on Tuesday, July 12, voted unanimously to accept the resignation of Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer, who was at the helm of town government since May 2019. Council members also unanimously agreed to appoint Cureton as acting town manager for one month, starting July 13. “My greatest challenge is to show the mayor and the council their decision to place me in this position, even in the short term, is the right decision,” Cureton said. The town manager reports directly to the seven council members. The council expects to meet later this month to consider an interim town manager, who will hold the position until a permanent replacement is found. A nationwide search is planned for the permanent position. Cureton “has been a very dynamic force at Parks and Recreation,” Mayor Carter Nevill said at the council’s regular July meeting. “I
think he brings to this position, for as short a time as it may be, tremendous confidence and support from council. I look forward to working with you,” Nevill told Cureton. Cureton said he had no plans to apply for the interim job. Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Kelly Koernig will replace Cureton as acting director of the department while Cureton fulfils town manager responsibilities. Schaeffer received a standing ovation from council members at her final meeting as town manager. “We’ve overcome many challenges together, and there are a lot that remain,” she said. During her three years as town manager, Schaeffer’s job was to put the council’s policies into action. Her to-do list included streaming public meetings online, revamping the town’s weekly farmers market, adjusting town policies and services in the face of a fast-changing COVID pandemic, revamping the town’s website, shepherding the town’s 20-year comprehensive plan through to adoption and helping the council craft and pass a budget during a sometimes-contentious round of meetings this spring and

Cureton said his experience, which includes leadership roles of increasing responsibility, is preparation for his job as acting director. “I have progressed through leadership levels,” he said. That includes almost two years as director of the Warrenton Parks and Recreation Department, as well as division manager of recreation centers in Loudoun County and seven
years in community services with the Marine Corps. For the next 30 days, Cureton plans to serve as a link between town departments and the council. After holding the acting director position for 48 hours, he said he isn’t making any plans. “It’s more of a situation where I’m taking it all in,” he said. Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@fauquier.com

Fauquier schools brace for the unthinkable — an active shooter SECURITY, from page 1 In addition, Fauquier schools are adding controlled entryways at all its 20 schools. Vestibules are one of the best investments the school division can make because they help control the flow of visitors and, if the unthinkable happens, may help contain a gunman, Graham said. “It’s a grim victory, but it’s a victory” if a gunman never makes it past the office, he said. So far, seven schools have vestibule entries with two sets of locked doors. Four more schools have received funding for vestibules but are waiting for the materials to install them. The remaining schools are still waiting on funding. “We’ve got some to go, and because of what’s happening, I think additional money will come, and we will stretch it as far as we can,” Graham said. Law enforcement officers are at the core of every school’s plan to keep children safe. At Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, “Law enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety,” according to a report on the shooting released July 17 by the Texas House of Representatives’ Investigative Committee on the Robb Elementary School Shooting. Sal Torelli, lead school security officer for Fauquier schools, said he read the entire 77-page report and was deeply disturbed by what it described as the “systemic failures” and “egregiously poor decision-making” that ended in the deaths of 19 students and two teachers. Almost 400 police officers responded to the massacre at Robb Elementary School that day, but 77 minutes passed before police stormed the classroom and shot and killed the gunman. “If I hear gunfire in a school, I am going after the threat,” said Torelli, who carries the same Glock pistol he used as a sheriff’s deputy. “There is no waiting. There is no retreating. That is a price I am willing to pay.”
Active shooter training
Active shooter training has been an integral part of “hardening” schools nationwide since the Columbine tragedy in 1999. As part of that training, officers must be willing to risk their lives without hesitation. That failed to happen at Robb Elementary, the Texas report says. After the Texas shooting, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office opened a conversation about active shooter training locally, said Sgt. Aaron Vescovi, in charge of all school resource officers in Fauquier schools. “We are still having a conversation about that,” he said. Vescovi and Fauquier school officials declined to provide specifics on active shooter training, because of concerns that it could compromise student safety. “I feel confident we are trained to meet whatever threat faces our schools,” Vescovi said. “We are trained to meet the threat as fast as possible and
preserve life as best we can.” “I am very happy where we are with school safety today here in Fauquier County,” Torelli said. The findings of the Texas committee are the most complete outside account of what happened during the massacre on May 24. “We must not delude ourselves into a false sense of security by believing that ‘this would not happen where we live,’” the report says. “The people of Uvalde undoubtedly felt the same way. We must all take seriously the threats to security in our schools and the need to be properly prepared to confront active shooter scenarios.” Fauquier County is one of just seven of 132 school divisions in Virginia with armed SSOs, said Torelli, who retired from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office in 2017 and joined the school division as an SSO a year later, in 2018, the same year a gunman killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Keeping doors locked and entrances secure
Other failures that cost precious time at Robb Elementary included doors that were left unlocked in violation of school policies, the report says. That gave the gunman “unimpeded access to enter” and cost the school precious minutes that teachers could have used to hide children and lock doors. Torelli gets it. Most days, he walks about 10 miles through the buildings at sprawling Fauquier High School. He makes sure that doors that open to the outside of the school are always locked, not propped open or ajar. “I spend most of my day walking the hallways, checking the doors, checking the parking lot, moving around constantly,” he said. “Your job is to move around and be visible.” His goal, he said, is to be “omnipresent.” At Fauquier High School, the vestibule is a set of double doors at the entrance to the school. People can exit through the double doors, but they can’t enter through them. Visitors —including parents, contractors, substitutes or anyone else — must press a buzzer and show ID, generally a driver’s license, to school staff to get through the first set of doors. Once through the first set of doors, visitors still cannot proceed into the school because the second set of doors leading into the school is locked. The only place to go is the school office, where visitors must sign in. IDs are scanned to create a visitor badge and to check against sex offender lists in all 50 states.
Threat assessments
Every Fauquier public school has a threat assessment team that is tasked with identifying and addressing threats or potential threats to school security. The shooter at Robb Elementary School shared his fascination with school shootings on social media and shared pictures of guns he bought, but no one relayed concerns to school officials.

Supervisors propose a legislative solution to overhead transmission towers, but some object By Peter Cary
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
Minutes after hearing citizens describe the harm that high-powered transmission lines to a proposed Amazon data center in Warrenton would do to their property, their views and the town, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors posed a possible solution – legislation that would require the lines to be buried underground. It came in the form of a resolution passed unanimously on the consent agenda. The resolution asks state lawmakers to pass legislation similar to a bill that ended a years-long wrangle in Haymarket over data center power lines in 2018. If passed, this new legislation would call for Dominion Energy’s power lines in Fauquier to become part of a “pilot program” to eliminate overhead lines and towers. “I just want to get legislation that transmission lines will be undergrounded wherever they go,” said Supervisor Holder Trumbo, of the Scott District, who sponsored the resolution. The proposal was met with enthusiasm from some residents, but resistance from others. The resolution was prompted by a special use application from Amazon Data Services to build a data center off Blackwell Road in Warrenton. Dominion Energy has said Amazon requested power for its site, and Dominion decided that would require a new substation on premises and 230 kV transmission lines feeding it. Dominion has drawn routes for several potential lines that would run either from the junction of Vint Hill and Auburn roads to Blackwell, or from a substation off Meetze Road to Blackwell. Some routes would cut through neighborhoods or individual properties.
FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL
Cindy Burbank speaks at the Warrenton Town Council July 12. She asked council members to vote against the Amazon data center proposal when the application comes up before them. Local opposition has rallied against the lines, which would need 120-foot-high towers and wide rights-of-way. Mike Foltz, who created a “Protect Fauquier” website, told supervisors Thursday that its membership grew from 60 residents to 630 in five weeks. “Some are angry; some are very upset,” he said. They are also well-organized. Twenty-seven spoke at the Warrenton Town Council meeting on July 12, urging the council to kill the data center altogether. Folz urged the supervisors to pass the resolution as “very important protection” for the county should the Amazon application be approved. But Cindy Burbank, also a member of the Pro-
tect Fauquier coalition, sent out an email July 15, complaining that the proposed solution to the threat of overhead lines would make it easier for Warrenton to approve the data center – which the coalition was trying to stop. “I am appalled at this resolution, especially the timing of it, just when we had sent a powerful message to the WTC [Warrenton Town Council] to deny” the Amazon application, she wrote. Meanwhile, the Piedmont Environmental Council asked the supervisors to rescind the resolution. “Please continue to preserve the rural character and quality of life that draws many to Fauquier County by not endorsing new transmission lines, above or underground, through the county,” wrote Kevin Kask, the PEC’s Fauquier land-use representative, in a letter to the board on Monday. (Disclosure: One of the members of the board of directors of the PEC, Mark Ohrstrom, also sits on the board of the Piedmont Journalism Foundation, which owns the Fauquier Times.) Trumbo said in an interview Monday that it was not the purpose of the resolution to support the data center, but rather to protect Fauquier citizens in case it was approved, and power lines had to be built to it. Both he and board Chairman Chris Granger (Center District) said at the meeting that even if the data center was disapproved — or if it was approved and was powered by an underground line from Meetze Road north to Blackwell Road along the U.S. 15 bypass – they still expect Dominion to try again to run transmission lines from Vint Hill Road to Blackwell. “Sometime in the future, these electric companies are going to want to connect the circuits,” said Granger. “If they close that gap, we would prefer it be solidified in state law as an underground route.”
Markham man arrested for allegedly brandishing a firearm Staff Report Just before 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 13, Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputies responded to a report of a man brandishing a firearm in the 8300 block of West Main Street in Marshall. Deputies found and arrested the man they believed brandished the weapon -- Timothy Harrell, 32, of Markham -- but did not find the firearm. Later in the day, the sheriff’s office received word that a firearm had been stolen during a residential burglary on Winchester Road in Mar-
shall. By the next day, detectives in the Criminal Investigations Division had successfully connected the two incidents. Sgt. Dawn Arrington of the FCSO reported, “Detectives quickly recognized the connection between the two events and canvassed the Marshall area. By midday on Thursday, July 14, detectives had conducted multiple interviews and reviewed video footage from surveillance cameras. Their investigation ultimately led to the recovery of the stolen firearm, which was found
hidden beneath an abandoned building located in the area where Timothy Harrell was arrested by patrol deputies the previous day.” She added, Timothy Harrell “The thorough i nvest igat ion by the responding patrol deputies, along with the swift follow-up efforts by detectives, yielded the re-
covery of a stolen firearm left for anyone to find.” Harrell has been charged with brandishing a firearm. He is being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center with no bond. Further investigation could lead to more charges, Arrington said. Anyone with information about these incidents may contact Det. Bream at 540-422-8670 or the Crime Solvers Hotline at 540-3491000. A caller’s identity can remain anonymous.
Maryland man allegedly steals car in Stafford, chokes police dog in Fauquier A Landover, Maryland, man was arrested in Bealeton Saturday, July 16, after allegedly stealing a car in Stafford County and fleeing north on U.S. 17. When Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies pursued, stopped and attempted to arrest him, the man allegedly tried to choke a police dog deployed to subdue him, according to the sheriff’s office. Kevin Spriggs, 39, allegedly stole the keys to a vehicle at the Aldi grocery store on U.S. 17 Saturday afternoon, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office, then drove north on U.S. 17 in the vehicle. The victim called 911 at about 5:24 p.m. “While talking to the victim, we received a call about a reckless driver with the same license plate that eventually ended up in Fauquier County,” the SCSO representative said.
Fauquier County deputies first tried to stop Spriggs just south of Bealeton, leading to a short pursuit that ended near the intersection of Station Drive and U.S. 17, according to a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office press release. Spriggs “became very Kevin Spriggs aggressive with law enforcement,” according to a search warrant affidavit filed by a Fauquier County deputy, adding that Spriggs “was making statements that did not make sense” and “was sweating and had behavior consistent with being under the influence of drugs.”
K-9 Bane, a police dog, was called in to help subdue Spriggs, but Spriggs “continued resisting arrest and began to choke K-9 Bane,” according to the press release. “Bane is OK, thanks to the quick actions of deputies on scene,” a sheriff’s office representative added later. Deputies eventually managed to apprehend Spriggs, charging him with attempting to maim or kill a law enforcement animal, eluding law enforcement, obstructing justice, possessing stolen goods, driving without a license and driving under the influence of drugs, according to the FCSO. Separately, Spriggs was charged with grand larceny in Stafford County, according to SCSO.

The Clifton Institute hosts butterfly count July 23 The Clifton Institute will host its 27th annual butterfly count on July 23 and will contribute data to the North American Butterfly Association for the 20th year. As one of the largest community science events in the United States, NABA counts bring people of all ages and skill levels together on a single day to observe butterflies. Butterfly counts gather information about butterfly population sizes and distributions. The results help scientists monitor North American butterflies’ response to climate change, year-to-year differences in weather and habitat loss. Butterflies are an essential part of the ecosystem because they pollinate both wild and agricultural plants; they’re a staple food for birds and other insectivores. They are sensitive to changes in their environment, so they may act as early warning signals about changes in the environment. There are more than 90 butterfly species in Virginia. Participants in the butterfly count will meet at the Clifton Institute at 9 a.m. and split into groups to cover When: Saturday, July 23; 4 to 7:30 p.m. Where: Barrel Oak Winery, 3623 Grove Lane, Delaplane Live music What: Featuring Andrew Washington When: Saturday, July 23; 7 p.m. Where: Beer Hound Brewery, 201 Waters Place, Culpeper Live music What: Featuring Modern Vintage When: Saturday, July 23; 1 to 5 p.m. Where: Blue Valley Vineyard and Winery, 5535 Blue Valley Way, Delaplane Live music What: Featuring Anthony Semiao When: Saturday, July 23; 2 to 5 p.m. Where: Philip Carter Winery, 4366 Stillhouse Road, Hume Live music What: Featuring Brook Yoder and Bryan Smith When: Saturday, July 23; 7 to 10 p.m. Where: Orlean Market, 6855 Leeds Manor Road, Marshall Live music What: Featuring Dylan Pierce When: Saturday, July 23; Noon to 3 p.m. Where: Denim and Pearls, 29 Main St., Warrenton Sunday, July 24 Farmers market What: Archwood Green Barns Farmers Market When: Sunday, July 24; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Where: Archwood Green Barns, 4557 Old Tavern Road, The Plains Info: Vendors, crafters and more; 540253-5289 Music What: Sunday with the Library-Folk Music with Andy and Judy When: Sunday, July 24; 2 to 3 p.m. Where: John Barton Payne Community Hall, 2 Courthouse Square, Warrenton Church Tour What: Guided tour of Mt.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
When it comes to library books, don’t censor, opt out As a former middle school principal in this county, I occasionally met with parents who expressed concern about the content of required reading for their children. Regardless of the nature of the complaint, I took it seriously, listened and advised accordingly. My advice: If you object to the content of a particular book, you can opt your child out of reading it. Full stop. We do not allow parents to dictate the reading materials for all other students. This is not acceptable; it is anything but “liberty” and call it by any other name, but it is censorship. I’m dismayed to note that we had parents who
objected to their children wearing masks in school during a deadly pandemic because it infringed on their freedom and, yet, are now supportive of infringing on the freedom of students to read novels the “Moms4Liberty” deem inappropriate. Whose definition of “freedom” and “liberty” will we support? I’m choosing the broad definition of freedom that our democracy would dictate – that of each parent to decide. STEVE KADILAK Retired principal, Auburn Middle School The Plains
A cause worth fighting for To those who are fighting the transmission towers, I would like to say: You have a cause worth fighting for, a good board of supervisors and a lot of fellow Fauquier citizens who want to see you succeed. HOPE PORTER Warrenton
Group advocates for ‘liberty’ but infringes on other parents’ rights Liberty? Not liberty. So, just who is this group Moms for Liberty (M4L, a local chapter of a national organization of the same name), focused on censoring and purging school library books because they say so? The Fauquier chapter of M4L claims they are advocating to protect not only their own children, but everyone’s children from exposure to violent or sexually explicit material. The M4L treasurer is quoted in the July 6 Fauquier Times, “The books are inappropriate for all students because they are pornographic or contain graphic sexual violence.” Says who? M4L. Apparently other parents aren’t capable of raising their own children. M4L advocates empowering parents to defend their parental rights
when they explicitly want to remove rights from other parents. Liberty. One can find many definitions online, such as Oxford Languages: “the power or scope to act as one pleases” or Merriam-Webster: “freedom from arbitrary or despotic control; the power to do as one pleases.” M4L for liberty? Hardly. And fine. Parents should do what they choose to protect and parent their own children from the violence and sexually explicit behavior surrounding us every day, e.g., gun slaughter at schools, gun slaughter everywhere, crimes against humanity in Ukraine, deadly attacks on our Capitol. Do M4L parents choose to ban their kids from TV, movies, print media, the news, the internet, apps, social media, gaming, friend’s phones, snapchat as entertainment
at sleepovers, etc.? M4L just needs to keep out of other parents’ rights. That way, America and liberty will survive just fine. Gov. Glenn Youngkin has signed SB 656, which addresses instructional materials that are available in public schools. Until Aug. 3, Fauquier residents have the opportunity
to comment on proposed model polices and guidance implementing SB 656 at https://townhall.virginia. gov/L/entercomment.cfm?GdocForumID=1881&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=f9a2e938-3ba8-440cbb7a-2a35146c31bf. NANCY TREUSCH Warrenton

New online tool helps Fauquier Hospital patients estimate cost of care in advance COST, from page 1 In 2019, the Trump administration used executive action to institute a rule that requires hospitals to publish health care service costs. Beginning
in 2021, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services put that mandate into effect, directing hospitals to “post online a machine-readable file and either a consumer-friendly
This is the form that prospective patients can fill out to get information on how much a particular medical procedure could cost at Fauquier Hospital.
file with at least 300 shoppable services or a price estimator tool so consumers can shop and compare costs among providers. Advocates of price transparency, like the national group Power to the Patients, argue that giving patients prices allows them to compare costs and shop around for services. Some modeling suggests that publishing the prices could save consumers money for some services. However, research by Amitabh Chandra, director of health policy research at the Harvard Kennedy School, and others, finds that most people who reduce their health care expenses do so by reducing demand — getting less high-value health care — rather than price shopping. Experts also point out that these price lists are difficult for the general public to decipher because they’re often spreadsheets with thousands of entries. (The cost estimator, referenced above, is an easy-to use electronic form that provides an estimate just a few min-
utes. It provides estimates for those with and without insurance.) Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@fauquier.com Rahul Chowdhry Sharma of the Virginia Mercury also reported for this story.

SCHANER, ROBINSON ARE 2022 FAUQUIER TIMES KETTLE RUN ATHLETES OF THE YEAR Lights, camera, Colleen: Schaner was pole vault champ, will study film at Arizona St.
Sure-handed Robinson mastered football in record time, shined in basketball

Photographs of Kettle Run High pole vaulter Colleen Schaner have appeared on the sports pages of the Fauquier Times several times. Her career goal is to be behind the camera. The 2022 Fauquier Times Kettle Run Girls Athlete of the Year is headed to Arizona State University in a few weeks to continue pole vaulting and study film, embarking on a dream career of telling stories visually. A mainstay for the Cougar track program for three years, Schaner capped a highly successful career by capturing the 2022 Virginia Class 4 state championship in the pole vault. Schaner recalled her first production, an iMovie for a fifth-grade assignment. She was hooked and began making her own productions seven years ago.
Jacob Robinson never considered football before he enrolled as a Kettle Run freshman. He graduated a fullfledged football player with a spot waiting for him on a Division II college roster. “Originally, I was really digging soccer. I was pretty good, playing with those travel teams up in Loudoun,” said Robinson, who made a huge leap of faith that led to a stellar fouryear career. The football-basketball star left his mark as 2022 Fauquier Times Kettle Run Boys Athlete of the Year. Robinson’s first athletic love was soccer, where he was a high-scoring striker who “always had three goals.” When he moved to Fauquier at age 12, it wasn’t the same. “Picking up a ball was the way,” he said.

Sam Fisher wins Pan-American Games U20 wrestle title Former FHS star captures 182-pound crown in Mexico By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
COURTESY PHOTO Virginia Tech redshirt sophomore Sam Fisher won gold for Team USA at the U20 Pan American Games earlier this month.
Sam Fisher’s championship trophy collection continues to grow. Fisher, a 2020 Fauquier High School graduate and current Virginia Tech wrestler, dominated the field in the recent Pan-American Games U20 freestyle wrestling tournament held in Oaxtepec, Mexico. The tournament was Fisher’s first international event after earning a berth on the United States’ national U20 squad. “My coaches and I know I have the ability to pick up big wins and consistently produce good results,” Fisher said in a recent email. “But my biggest weakness has been both my consistency and in-match concentration. Things we have been evaluating and working on more than anything these past two years.“ Fisher swept aside three opponents to capture the 86-kilogram (182-pound) Pan-American championship. The Hokie began his title run by defeating Guatemala’s Cesar Andres Ubico Estrada in the quarterfinals. Fisher mounted a 5-1 lead through
the opening three minutes en route to a 9-3 victory. In the semifinal round, Fisher registered a takedown 45 seconds into his match versus Canadian Aiden Stevenson. Thirty nine seconds later, the match ended with a pin to send the former Fauquier Falcon into championship match July 10. His foe was Jhon Sebastian Sanchez Solis of Ecuador. Fisher continued his aggressive style, dispatching Solis in only 65 seconds via 10-0 win by technical superiority The decision was Fisher’s second major championship in 70 days. He earlier won the United States Marine Corps U20 Open event May 1 with a 6-0 record. The 86-kilogram gold medal earned his first age-group national team berth. This was the Hokie’s first tournament abroad representing the United States after an impressive summer. ”I think one of the keys to my successful run was focusing on how I wrestle rather than the result going into matches.” Fisher stated. “Going into every match, my focus was on wrestling a smart and focused match and controlling the things I can control. “Winning just so happened to be a result of doing that well.” Fisher is listed as a redshirt sophomore by Virginia Tech.

Schaner is jumping for joy at attending ASU SCHANER, from page 43 “I thought it was really fun. They weren’t good, but it was fun,” she laughed. “I grew to love [the process] and want to make a career out of it. “It’s so satisfying to be creative like that,” said Schaner, who has her own Youtube channel featuring short items to longer projects. Looking for a quality film school and a good pole vault program, Schaner took an official visit to George Mason University and gave the school strong consideration. Arizona State was a different matter, as Schaner had to market herself.

THE SCHANER FILE -Family: Parents Michele and Eric Schaner. Mom is in advertising sales and dad is a Senior Policy & Strategy Analyst with the Department of the Navy. Brother Grant attends West Virginia University and is majoring in Global Supply Chain Management in the business school. -Favorite food: Grilled salmon. “Ahh, it’s just so good, I love the crispy, light texture, the smoky flavor, and the fact that it’s so nutritious.” -Favorite TV show: “The Office! It has a special place in my heart. It’s hilarious, genius, and puts my mind in a happy place.” -Favorite movies: “JoJo Rabbit, Ford v. Ferrari, and Napoleon Dynamite. They’re all just so unique and creative in their own way and immerse me every time!” -Favorite musicians: “I LOVE Dua Lipa, The Rolling Stones and Tchaikovsky. They are all masters in their fields and create goosebump-inducing music!” -Favorite college team: “WVU, because it’s the only other college team that I kind of follow and know
The Tempe school is relocating its film school this fall to a new state-of-the-art facility containing 118,000 square feet, enhancing her interest. Plus, the Sun Devils’ women’s pole vaulters were competitive in the Pac-12 Conference and beyond. Her first email to ASU last fall drew the response “we usually only take vaulters who have jumped 13 feet.” Schaner was in the 11-6 to 12foot range at the time. Still, Schaner and her mother, Michele, decided to visit during Thanksgiving break last fall. See SCHANER, page 47 something about. And because my bro goes there.” -Favorite pro team: ” I know barely anything about MLB, NBA or NFL so, I’d have to say the 2020 Olympic Pole Vault team! I have followed them for a while now and was able to meet four of them earlier this year.” -Favorite athlete: Sandi Morris, 2016 Olympic silver medalist in the pole vault. -Person to have dinner with: “Jesus. He is, of course, the nicest person in the history of forever. Also, as a Christian, it’s only natural to want to meet Him!” -Hobbies? “Filmmaking (YouTube is Colleen Schaner), podcasting (podcast is Spice Up Your Life w/ Colleen Schaner), journaling, adventuring around with my car, and pole vaulting.” -Possible profession: “Film Cinematographer and/ or Director and/or Editor. Because I love getting those ‘artsy shots.’ I love creating the story and bringing it to life on-screen, and I love editing footage together to make something awesome!”
Jacob, you’re gonna be a star: Coach woos Robinson for football ROBINSON, from page 43 He turned to basketball, the sport his dad Jimmy and uncle Dwight played as Fauquier High School students. The younger Robinson started playing at the Warrenton Youth Sports Club. It was a new experience to play in a team environment, but he adapted quickly to the point guard position. “Ballhandling in basketball and soccer are kind of the same,” he said. “The footwork ties in together.” Football wasn’t in Robinson’s plans, as mom Angela didn’t like the idea of her then 110-pound son hitting the gridiron. But Kettle Run head coach Charlie Porterfield had other ideas. “Coming into high school, I never thought about football. But Coach Porterfield pulled me over to the side my freshman year and said, ‘You need to get in this weight room, this is your calling, I can see it in you,’” Robinson recalled. Porterfield remembered the moment he got Robinson’s commitment. “I remember asking Jacob every day his freshman year to come out for the football team. I will never forget the day that I finally got the answer yes,” the coach said. “I knew from that moment that our team got instantly better.” The decision changed the course of Robinson’s athletic pursuits. He followed Porterfield’s advice the following season and fell in love with the energy of football. In his first-ever football game, he caught 10 passes. “I put the pads on, started running routes, haven’t looked back since,” he said.
Turning things around
The Cougars went 1-9 in Robinson’s first-ever year of organized football. But that one win stands out. In a 28-14 victory over Culpeper in the season’s penultimate game, Robinson caught a slant pass for an 86-yard score to give Kettle Run a halftime lead. “That turned some heads in the locker room,”

The Cougars then went 5-1 in 2020 and 9-2 in 2021, going unbeaten in the district both years, thanks to talent and maturity. “Sophomore year, we just went through the motions. But Coach said, we’re not going to win like this,” Robinson said. “We had to take it upon ourselves and make it change. And we did.” Robinson and his teammates began working out, running routes, in their own time. “We didn’t want to lose,” he said.

Riding right Bull rider Chance Holland takes a second chance – and top prize – at Fauquier County Fair By Betsy Burke Parker
Special to the Fauquier Times
Rodeo cowboy Chance Holland trusts that everything happens for a reason. Friday night at the Fauquier County Fair rodeo, he strapped tight to bull no. 922, nodding “ready” when rodeo officials sprung open a steel gate to unleash the pair into the wide-open expanse of the Old Auburn Road arena. But 922 didn’t budge. Eventually, the usually hard-bucking veteran emerged, backward, out of the chute, but by that time Holland knew he would be assigned a re-ride. He delicately stepped off as the black-and-white animal finally started the expected buck-and-turn maneuvers well-known to rodeo fans and cowboys alike. “I knew that’d get me a re-ride,” Holland explained later, saying a bum bull automatically qualifies the competitor a second try. Holland made the second go count, sticking tight to Forest, a red bull and one of the True Grit Rodeos’ best, says owner-operator Daniel Lanier. “He’s one we can trust,” Lanier said of Forest. Holland rode the requisite 8 seconds, earning the winning score of 69 from the judging panel to claim the $2,000 purse – and coveted belt buckle for his efforts. He credits patience in the process for the victory. “Cows are what I do pretty much all day, every day,” said Holland, 27. He operates Three Rivers Farms near Lexington, tending some 300 head of cattle and hundreds of acres of pastureland, crop and hayfields. He finds time to compete on the weekends, four times winning Southern Extreme Bull Riding As-
sociation buckles, with American Rodeo Association and International Bull Riders wins and qualifying for last year’s finals along the way. Friday was a first for the cowboy who began riding roughstock as a teen. “That bull didn’t want to play,” Holland said. “Forest was a great reride. He’s a tough one.” Lanier explains that seasoned competition bulls rarely fail to perform. “But stuff happens. We just work around it.” Lanier says energy from the crowd helps cowboys retain their focus even when things break bad like Holland’s first ride. “The energy is what makes it work,” said Lanier, a lifelong rodeo cowboy and former bull rider. “Fauquier’s got it.” In the night’s other action, Jacob Hanshew won the rookie division, Dylan Jackson won the peewee International Mini Bull Association division, with brother Nicholas Jackson repeating his 2021 victory to win the novice division. Bedford County-based cowgirl Julia Beaty won the ladies’ barrel racing in 13.044. Lanier calls the junior divisions key to growing rodeo’s most popular sport, saying that most people don’t have the benefit of a lifetime of livestock experience like Holland. “We’re working to develop the next generation of cowboys” through young rider divisions and by offering clinics and practice days at his Lucky L Arena in Hurt in central Virginia. True Grit action moves to the Loudoun County Fair next weekend, and Lanier says they’ll host two more rodeos at the farm in August and September, plus more training days. More on True Grit and how to get involved with IMBA is at truegritrodeo.com.

J Rob to the house: star receiver caught 11 TD passes for district champs ROBINSON, from page 44 54 receptions for 822 yards and 11 touchdowns on offense. “Jacob was the Swiss army knife of our program,” Porterfield said. “Over his three years in our program, he developed the ability to play all over the field.” Robinson was exclusively a wide receiver his sophomore year, but gravitated to the defensive side of the ball his last two seasons. “I feel like that’s my calling, playing safety. Just locking people up, that’s what I like to do. Same way on the basketball court.”
Robinson starred on varsity in both football and basketball for three years apiece. He almost added another letter. “I never told anyone this, but I was going to try out for soccer [as a senior],” he revealed. “Until I committed for football, then I decided to focus on one thing.”
Playing the mental game
Robinson made some remarkable catches during his superb career, rising above defenders for some highlight reel grabs downfield or in the end zone. He displayed strong hands, athleticism, and concentration.

Also a force in hoops
Robinson’s basketball career at Kettle Run was also successful. He was a starter, mostly at forward, for much of his career, helping the Cougars make regionals two times, including his senior year. He scored 16 points against Culpeper this year. “His size, his speed, and his aggression were just kind of unmatched. He was one of the most physically imposing young men we had. The kid can jump out of the gym,” said coach Christian Yancey. “He has the ability to channel that aggression into passion. He’s a very passionate player. That’s one thing I love about J-Rob. He’s a competitor. He plays with a chip on his shoulder.”

Anne Talks
Asked about his top attributes as an athlete, Robinson talks about the mental aspect, listing qualities like relentlessness and leadership. “It’s not all about speed. You have to have some mental acuity about yourself.” Porterfield said Robinson’s standout quality was his attitude. “Every day he walked out on the field he was ready to compete,” the coach said. “He would do anything that was asked of him, and his energy was infectious amongst his teammates and coaches.”

Becoming a Wasp
On Jan. 21, Robinson committed to play defensive back for Emory & Henry College, a Division II program. He also received interest from Christopher Newport, Frostburg State, and others. “Once I went for the official visit and met coach [Tommy] Buzzo, it was like one of those dudes at the car shops,” Robinson said. “He was really selling the program.” He’ll begin his collegiate career with at least one familiar face. Kettle Run offensive lineman Zach “Big Country” Thompson will also play for the Wasps. The friends plan to room together. “Junior year, I started to get to know him and his family. Now we hang out every day, going to the gym, going bowling,” he said. Robinson also likes the smallschool atmosphere, more conducive to focusing on academics and football. “I can lock in on my path, my journey,” he said. Porterfield and Robinson embraced after the final game of the young man’s senior season. “He thanked me for talking him into playing,” the coach said. “I’m so appreciative that he trusted me and our program enough to try something new. He leaves Kettle Run in a better place than he arrived.”

Aspiring film student Schaner’s final act was winning Class 4 title with school-record leap SCHANER, from page 44 Schaner again reached out to the ASU coach and he agreed to meet. He gave them a tour of the facilities and campus. “He emailed after we got back and said he would like for me to be on the team,” Schaner recalled. “We had to work for it. We were very fortunate.”
Gymnastics before vaulting
Schaner’s mom took her to a “mommy and me” gymnastics class when she was 18 months old. After advancing into the sport’s highly competitive realm, she opted out at age 13. “I had really bad shin splints. Plus, It was pretty stressful and time-consuming,” she said, adding. “The coaching was really cut throat.” After researching other sports that would utilize her gymnastics skills, she found the pole vault. She did a three-month stint with DC Vault before moving to Prince William Pole Vaulters. That exposure lasted a month before an experiment with lacrosse. A former gymnastics teammate reintroduced her to the Prince William club. “It just stuck,” Schaner said of the second trial. “It was really fun and light-hearted. I just liked it more.” Jerry McEvoy, her coach at Prince William, said Schaner made rapid advances once she began to grasp the nuances of the event. “She had a great background in gymnastics, which supplied her with a bit more strength and awareness,” McEvoy said, noting she would clear eight feet in her first high school meet, an achieve-
ment few accomplish. Schaner reached 10 feet to claim the 2020 indoor Northwestern District silver medal and place second in Region 4C meet at 9-6. The Cougar then cleared a career-best 10-6 to finish fourth in the state Class 4 meet. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the outdoor season to be canceled, but she found a way to keep improving. “It was actually beneficial. We had really small sessions so we got more experience and more coaching,” she said. As a junior in 2021, Schaner took second at the district and region level indoors, both at 11 feet before garnering the state silver medal at 11-6. She cleared 11-6 to claim the indoor district and region championships last winter to enter states as the No. 2 seed but placed fourth at 10-6. Afterward, she admitted she had placed considerable pressure on herself prior to the meet. Schaner chose a more relaxed mindset this spring, reminding herself what made the sport so endearing: “I decided to just be myself. I wanted my last season to be fun.” “I have seen seniors take a step back and kind of throw in the towel,” coach McEvoy said of his prior experiences. “But not Colleen. “She had more determination than ever. She was on a mission,” he continued. “She practiced harder and worked even more diligently on her technique so that she could achieve her number one goal, a state championship.” Schaner cleared 12 feet to win the 2022 outdoor district title before adding the region crown
at 11-6 to bring her to the state stage. This time, she dominated by vaulting a career-best 12-4, also breaking her own school record en route and earning the state title. “It was amazing how much she improved even in the last 6-8 weeks,” McEvoy lauded. “All of the coaches in the area noticed as well, stating that she looked fantastic and that she was primed for her goal. “When Colleen sets her mind to [a goal], she goes after it more than any pole vaulter we have had. I believe she is now ranked in the Virginia all-time 25 girls for the pole vault at No. 21.” “It was my last high school meet, so I wanted to have as much fun as I could,” Saner said at the time. “All that previous pressure was lifted off of me. It was so liberating. “You need patience, determination and discipline because pole vaulting is bipolar. You’ll do great one day. The next day will be awful,” she said laughing. “The more you do it you get used to the fact that not every day is going to be great. You’re able to move on quicker once you realize that.” “Colleen has grown in her confidence and toughness. She didn’t always seem to believe that she could compete with the big dogs even when it was clear to the rest of us,” Kettle Run head coach Myraida Davis said. “It is always a thing of beauty to watch her compete.” Now it’s off to Arizona State to keep reaching for the skies on the pole vault runway and career in the entertainment industry. “I want to go and do the best I can do and see where that goes,” Schaner concluded.
Supervisors table Old Tavern intersection funding application, ask state to build roundabouts at three other locations SUPERVISORS, from page 2 Several of the speakers at the public hearing pleaded with supervisors to lower the speed limit on U.S. 17 to 45 mph — something supervisors have no authority to do on the federal highway. “Speed is the issue here, [but] we can’t dictate the speed,” Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) pointed out. “This board cannot dictate the speed. It’s VDOT.” Some speakers also vowed to lobby the General Assembly to pass legislation expanding the use of speed enforcement cameras, which state law currently permits only in work zones and school zones. Supervisors Chris Butler (Lee
District) was skeptical that any one intersection design would serve as a panacea for safety issues. He pointed to the years-long efforts to improve safety at U.S. 15/29 and Freemans Ford Road outside Remington, located in his district, noting that frequent and serious crashes have persisted. Butler instead blamed drivers exceeding speed limits and driving while distracted — and what he said are insufficient penalties for doing so. “Until people put their damn phones down and focus on driving — and focus on nothing but driving — we’re not going to change a thing,” Butler said, urging the public to lobby their state representatives to impose a more aggressive penal-
ty schedule for speeding infractions. “Until our lawmakers start dropping the hammer on folks and getting into their billfolds, nothing’s gonna change,” Butler added. “These hand smacks aren’t doing a thing.” Supervisor Chris Granger (Center District), a career firefighter, noted that crashes causing serious injuries and fatalities have increased in frequency across the county in recent years. “It’s been incredibly difficult, all across the county [and] anywhere on [U.S. 17 in Fauquier County],” he said. He pointed to the design of new vehicles, which often prioritizes the reduction of road noise and vibration, as one factor in speeding. And, he said, major federal highways like U.S. 17 are designed “as wide-open
road with wide-open lanes, and it’s just an invitation to speed.” Gerhardt said that he was frustrated with the implication by some members of the public that supervisors don’t care about the safety of major highways in the county. “We’ll do whatever we can to save lives,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anybody on this dais this evening that’s not willing to support a solution to the Route 17 problem.” But noting the lack of consensus among the people who live near the intersection, he conceded that this was not the best time to move forward with an application. “I guess we’re back to the drawing board,” he said.

Warrenton Town Council votes on political speech and roundabouts COUNCIL, from page 2
Council asks VDOT to consider funding three new roundabouts
The Warrenton Town Council unanimously agreed to ask the Virginia Department of Transportation to consider funding roundabouts to ease traffic congestion and increase safety at three intersections along Lee Highway through Warrenton’s business district. Council members voted without comment at their regular meeting Tuesday, July 12, to apply for state and federal funding through VDOT’s Smart Scale program. The deadline for applications is Aug. 1. Funding recipients would be announced in June 2023, and the earliest a chosen project could start would be fiscal year 2026. No citizens spoke about the projects at a public hear-
ing during the meeting. The three projects VDOT will consider are included in Plan Warrenton 2040, the town’s guiding document for future decisions about development, preservation and other components of community life. The projects are proposed for three intersections: • Broadview Avenue, Winchester Street and Lee Highway. A roundabout at this intersection would improve traffic flow, reduce crashes by up to 60% and improve the safety of pedestrian crossings, according to VDOT. This would be a multi-lane hybrid roundabout. • U.S. 17, Broadview Avenue/Shopping Center. • Lee Highway and Blackwell Road. The intersection would be reconfigured to a multi-lane hybrid roundabout that will improve traffic flow, reduce crashes up to 60% and improve
the safety of pedestrians, according to VDOT. Two of the projects — Broadview/Winchester/ Lee Highway and U.S. 17/Broadview/shopping center — have been submitted to VDOT in the past but failed to gain approval. They are being resubmitted because VDOT changed the scoring system for determining which projects can move forward in the selection process. The Warrenton projects fare better under the new scoring system. Since 2020, the town and VDOT have been reviewing ways to improve the safety of intersections along the Broadview/Lee Highway corridor. In June, VDOT officials told the town the three projects had passed pre-screening reviews, and applications for the projects could be submitted. Competition for VDOT Smart Scale funding is often fierce. Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@fauquier.com

OBITUARIES Matthew Lee Breeden Clarissa Lyon Leggett 1928 - 2022 Clarissa Lyon Leggett of McLean and Washington, Virginia passed away peacefully on July 3, 2022 at the home of her son Eugene Sheldon Leggett III and her daughter in law, The Honorable Kathleen M. Uston. She was 93 years old. Her loving children and grandchildren had been by her side during the week. Clarissa was born in Boston, Massachusetts on August 12, 1928 to Elizabeth Weld and Edwin Clark Bennett. She grew up in Middleboro, Massachusetts on Moreland Acres in Plymouth County and in Maine where she spent many summers sailing. From her grandfather, Clifford Read Weld and her grandmother, Clarissa Lyon Weld, she developed a keen interest in gardening and American antique furniture. Her grandmother’s brother, Irving Lyon, had written the first book on the Colonial Furniture of New England which she treasured throughout her life. After graduating from the Lincoln School for girls in Providence, Rhode Island, Clarissa attended Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In June of 1949 she graduated with a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. She met Eugene Sheldon Leggett, a graduate of Harvard Law School, and they married in 1952. Together they were a dynamic team as they enthusiastically moved through the many chapters of their 59 year marriage. Their early marriage was spent in London while her husband pursued his diplomatic career at the CIA and MI6 where Clarissa organized the growing family and entertained many foreign guests. In the late 1950s the Leggett family moved back to the United States where they continued to raise their four children and spent many summers sailing. Clarissa, known as Chris to her friends, became a member of the Sulgrave Club in Washington, DC and pursued her interest in volunteering and gardening. She believed in giving back to the community and was a devoted volunteer to the Democratic National Committee. Clarissa’s skills in the kitchen became legendary, where she created everything from homemade bread and delicate sauces to standing rib roasts. After their children were grown, Eugene and Clarissa moved their permanent residence to their weekend home in Washington, Virginia. Clarissa became a magistrate for Rappahannock County located in the town of Washington and later, her husband, Gene, became Mayor of the town. They were energetic inclusive entertainers devoting much of their time to caring for the town and its residents. Clarissa was an active member of Trinity Episcopal Church and joined the Board of Directors of the Child Care and Learning Center. She also worked on the Board of RappCats animal shelter and the Board of Hospice of the Rapidan for which she received an award of recognition from the Circle of Friends of the Hospice. Clarissa and her husband, Gene, led a joyful life traveling and enjoying the love of family and friends. Clarissa was predeceased by her grandson, Henry Senzo Leggett in 2005, her beloved husband, Eugene Sheldon Leggett in 2012 and her sister, Elizabeth Weld Ewing, in 2014. She is survived by her brother, Edwin Clark Bennett of Hingham, Massachusetts, and four children, Clarissa Bonde of Warrenton, Virginia and Stockholm, Sweden, Katharine Leggett Miller of Locust Grove, Virginia, Eugene Sheldon Leggett, III and her daughter in law, The Honorable Kathleen M. Uston of Mason Neck, Virginia and Blake Carlson Leggett of Nokesville, Virginia. They were blessed with nine loving grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Services will be held in August of 2022 at the Chapel at Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown. Please contact the family for details.
