Fauquier County EMS captain tells other women: ‘You can do it’ Number of women working as first responders locally slowly rises
Latest Fauquier Fire Academy class includes six women
By Colleen LaMay
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
To become a firefighter-paramedic, EMS Capt. Jessica Potter had to climb multiple flights of stairs carrying 50 pounds of equipment, drag a mannequin weighing up to 180 pounds through an obstacle course and complete other heavy, sweaty tasks, all in 8 minutes or less. See FIRST RESPONDERS, page 4
Female first responders
This is the first in a series of stories about women who work as first responders in Fauquier County. Historically, men comprise most of the police officers, firefighters, medical technicians and paramedics nationwide. That is changing across the nation — and here too.

Dok Klaus, the ‘computer doctor,’ celebrates 20th anniversary
By Abby Zimmardi
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
Warrenton’s “computer doctor” is celebrating his 20th year in business. “We are [still] a small, family-owned business,” said Klaus Fuechsel, known to almost everyone as Dok Klaus. While Fuechsel has been forced to slow down over the past 18 months due to a brain cancer diagnosis, technology still captivates him. He spent the first 20 minutes of a recent interview sharing information about the incredible device keeping his cancer at bay — and him alive and working. “The device I am wearing stops DNA from multiplying so cancer cells cannot be built.

Farms open storefronts, promote regenerative agriculture Two farms with similar farming practices — Living Pastures Farm and Kinloch Farm — have opened storefronts in the county within the last year; both practice regenerative agriculture and put a premium on promoting community. Regenerative agriculture benefits the soil, animals, people and the environment by mimicking the natural relationship between animals and the soil, said Jonathan Elliott, farmer and owner of Living Pastures. Soils used in farms across the country are degraded from mismanagement and “we want to rebuild the soils,” he said. One example? The animals live outside, not packed tightly together in an environmentally controlled building.

The Fauquier Fire Academy recently graduated 22 new firefighter EMTs, including six women — the most ever in one class. “I learned a lot very quickly,” especially about fire, said April Reed, one of the six women who graduated May 27. Reed had been a collegiate athletic trainer before joining the county’s fire department, so she already had experience that helped her with the medic training that is part of the six-month course. Women can meet the physical challenges of training, Reed said. “I don’t know that there is anything that would stop a female from doing it except that females tend to be physically smaller. The biggest thing is not giving up, just having that tough mindset.”

Proposed gas station
LE
The Warrenton Planning Commission on July 19 tabled a proposal for a Harris Teeter gas station in the Northrock Shopping Center on Fletcher Drive after residents who live nearby testified against it, citing noise, light, traffic and other issues. Harris Teeter is proposing a revision to the North Rock Planned Unit Development Master Plan and is requesting a special-use permit to allow for the construction of an eight-pump service station for Harris Teeter customers. The gas station would be built at a shopping-center site originally intended for a bank with drive-through lanes. The commission voted 5-1 to take up the proposal again at its next regular meeting, starting at 7 p.m. Aug. 16. Commissioner Ali Zarabi was the sole “no” vote to table the proposal. He proposed denying Harris Teeter’s proposal altogether, but that motion failed. Seven residents who live south of the Northrock Shopping Center, on a hill behind a retaining wall, signed up to testify at a public hearing on the proposal. They said a new Harris Teeter gas station — open 24 hours — would add too much traffic to Fletcher Drive and create sound and noise pollution. “It is nice to sit on our decks at night and look at the stars,” said Tommy Walsh. “That will be over,” even if Harris Teeter were to dim the lights at night, he said.

Jessica Pfeiffer, a land-use planner with the law firm Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh, representing Harris Teeter, said readings could be taken to gauge how much light a new gas station would bring to the strip mall. Residents also were concerned that the retaining wall separating their homes from the Northrock Shopping Center could be damaged if blasting is required to install underground tanks for gas storage. “The residents up at Northrock are a mere football-field-length away, and there’s a large retaining wall that would feel the effects of the blasting,” said David McGuire, who is running for a
seat on the Warrenton Town Council. “Having served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I understand that not only is it the immediate blast but the shock wave that causes the most damage.” Town staff reported that Harris Teeter does not anticipate needing to blast. A planning commission staff report noted that “retrofitting the site to accommodate underground tanks needs to be done with the utmost attention” to ensure no existing structures suffer long-term or short-term damage.” McGuire was also concerned that emergency response could be hampered because the Northrock Shopping Center has only one entrance and exit — via Fletcher Drive. These are some of the issues the planning staff noted in their report to the commission: • No blasting allowed. Harris Teeter does not anticipate the need to blast based on geotechnical reports, but staff would like assurances due to the unique nature of the site, positioned in between an existing retaining wall and existing commercial/residential structures on a hill. • Signs. Staff wanted signs incorporated into the existing monument signage on Fletcher and/or Lee Highway. Harris Teeter wanted the option to install a third monument sign on Lee Highway. • Removal of tanks. Staff recommending the removal of underground tanks, canopy and pumps after two years of termination of the use. Harris Teeter would like that modified to three years.

Webinar answers questions about COVID-19 vaccine for pre-schoolers By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Local pediatrician Joshua Jakum, M.D., of Piedmont Pediatrics in Warrenton, participated in a Virginia Department of Health webinar on Monday, July 25, designed to answer parents’ questions about new COVID-19 vaccines recently approved for children 6 months to 5 years old. The vaccine was approved June 17 by the Food and Drug Administration and on June 18 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Jakum said in an email Sunday that “the current BA.5 (and BA.4) subtype(s) are demonstrating exactly why vaccination is necessary. Unfortunately, prior illness is demonstrating poor protection, and many people in our community who became ill in December 2021 through February 2022 are returning to my office with a second case of COVID if they did not vaccinate after their prior/first illness.”
During the Q & A section of the webinar, a listener asked, “Does it make sense to wait until fall to get the vaccine, when cases will be higher?” Dr. Susan Werner of UVA Pediatrics pointed out it will take 10 to 14 weeks to reach full immunity, so parents should consider getting their children a vaccine as soon as they are comfortable with it, so that it will be at full effectiveness in the fall. Jakum added, “We are used to getting flu shots in the fall before flu season. COVID is not a seasonal illness. “We are seeing a remarkable number of cases in the middle of summer. Your exposure is now. The disease is raging right now,” he said.
Vaccination details
Children aged 6 months may receive an age-appropriate dose of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine dose is based on the child’s age at the time of the vaccine; it is not based on HOW TO REACH US

the child’s weight. Children 6 months to 4 years old may receive a three-dose series of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. There is a three-week interval between the first and second dose and at least eight weeks between the second and third dose. The Moderna vaccine is approved for children 6 months to 5 years old. It’s a two-dose series, four weeks apart.
Appointments for the free vaccine may be arranged at vaccinate.virginia.gov or by calling 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682). The vaccine is also available in local pediatricians’ offices, in the local offices of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District and in local pharmacies. Children who are younger than 3 years old will not be able to receive vaccines at pharmacies.
Frequently asked questions
COVID-19 infection had a much more robust antibody response after disease and vaccine. It is not necessary to wait 90 days after a previous infection. As soon as the child is out of isolation and recovered from disease, they can get vaccinated.
Does my child need a vaccine if they aren’t going to get very ill from COVID-19? No one can predict which children will get very sick, and children’s health status changes over time, making any prediction even less reliable. Prior infection provides less protection against new variants than vaccination. Does my child get sick after getting the vaccine? The vaccine cannot give anyone COVID-19. Children may have some side effects after vaccination. These are normal signs that their body is building protection. Most common side effects are: • Injection site reactions • Irritability • Fatigue • Fever (more with Moderna) • Decreased appetite in lower age range (more with Moderna) There have been no reports of myocarditis/pericarditis or anaphylaxis caused by vaccination in the young age range. The risk of myocarditis from COVID-19 infection is much greater than the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine. Should my child still get vaccinated if they’ve already had COVID-19? Yes. Children and adults with prior
Will my child need a booster shot? Possibly, but it is not certain at this time. The FDA vaccine committee recently voted to change the design of COVID-19 booster shots for this fall to include a component that targets the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. Should my child get the vaccine if they are immunocompromised or have a pre-existing condition? Yes. In fact, it is recommended that immunocompromised individuals in the older ages receive additional vaccinations to ensure immune response (extra primary and/or booster doses). Will the vaccine affect fertility? No. The vaccines will not impact anyone’s fertility. Will the vaccine alter a child’s DNA? No. The vaccine cannot affect or alter anyone’s DNA. Was development of the COVID-19 vaccine rushed? No. The vaccines were developed following strict FDA standards. Source: Virginia Department of Health

Latest Fauquier Fire Academy class includes six women
Fauquier County EMS captain tells other women: ‘You can do it’ FIRST RESPONDERS, from page 1 She successfully passed the test, which is the same for men and women, in 7 minutes and 58 seconds, as she remembers it. Only then could she be considered for employment. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it, says Potter, recently promoted to supervisor of emergency medical services for the Fauquier County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management. She has some advice for other women considering a career in fire, rescue and emergency services. “I would say: ‘Do it.’ I think there’s a misconception among women that they can’t do it, or maybe they were told they can’t do it, but you can do it.” Adding women to the ranks of firefighters is a work in progress. Nationwide, just 4% of career firefighters are women, according to the U.S. Fire Service, part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In Fauquier County, 16% of 158 firefighters are women, Fire Chief Darren Stevens said. The most recent graduating class of new recruits included six women, the most the department has ever seen in one class, Stevens said.
‘If you see one, you can be one’
“Much of our success has been the result of ‘word of mouth’ recruitment,” Stevens said. “Our current staff have done a tremendous job reaching out to potential applicants. We strive to ensure that women are represented for public events and visible in our recruitment efforts,” he said. “If you can see one, you can be one.” All Fauquier County firefighters are also trained as emergency medical technicians, so they can respond to fires, crashes and medical emergencies. Fauquier County gradually has increased the number of certified paramedics it employs; paramedics have more medical training than EMTs. “It’s not a job for everybody,” Potter, 37, continued. “But if it’s something you’re interested in, you’ve just got to challenge yourself a little bit. It’s definitely the most challenging job I’ve been in over the years.” Potter did not choose the career, she said. It chose her. “It was kind of happenstance,” she said. A friend was joining a volunteer fire department in Prince William County, and Potter, 18 years old at the time, decided to try it too, first earning credentials as an EMT. She is one of four women, including a battalion chief, who are professional officers in Fauquier County Department of Fire Rescue and Emergency Management. She since has received additional medical training to become a critical-care paramedic, which allows her to perform minor surgical procedures

Capt. Jessica Potter checks the equipment she uses to treat people at the scene of accidents, injuries or illnesses. and provide blood products to victims at accident scenes. She does not ride on the fire trucks like she once did, because her “buggy” carries specialized medical supplies that allow her to provide a range of care, including intubating patients who cannot breathe on their own and performing ultrasounds. When she is on duty, she goes to all serious incidents in Fauquier County, including fires and car accidents with people trapped in their vehicles. Most of the time, she decides whether to go to the scene of other 911 calls, such as someone who becomes ill at home. Potter’s interview with the Fauquier Times was put on hold while Potter drove to a medical call in Old Town Warrenton. As it turned out, no paramedic was needed that time. She and the other paramedics can be dispatched anywhere within the boundaries of Fauquier County, 647 square miles. “We’re able to bring a second set of hands, a second set of eyes to a problem when we weren’t able to do that before.” She works 24-hour shifts starting at 6 a.m., although she usually arrives about a half hour early. She shares the firehouse with four or five other people. They have separate sleeping quarters and a common kitchen and living area. She gets 48 hours off after a shift, then she’s back for another 24 hours of work. After six or seven shifts, she gets an extra day off. That schedule runs yearround, including holidays and weekends.
Balancing act
With a 3-year-old son and a husband who also works in fire and rescue, family life is challenging. The couple has arranged their lives so that one parent always is home with their son, because finding childcare that fits their schedules is all but impossible. As a result, they don’t get to see much of each other. See FIRST RESPONDERS, page 5
ACADEMY, from page 1 Christina Shepherd, 24, has a tough mindset, too. After three years of college, she left a job that paid well but felt purposeless to become a firefighter-EMT. She had been a cross-country and track runner through high school and a semester of college and wanted a job that challenged her physically and mentally. She also wanted to serve her community. Her sister briefly thought about becoming a paramedic, and that is what planted the seed for Shepherd’s new career. That’s not to say her new job is easy. The hardest part for Shepherd is the lack of sleep that can result from 24-hour shifts with calls in the middle of the night. The long shifts can be so busy that eating regular meals becomes difficult. She remembers a time she started twice to make pancakes for breakfast, only to be called to the scene of an emergency. “We finally had breakfast at 1 p.m. in the afternoon,” she said. Shepherd gets 48 hours off after working 24 hours, and a lot of that time she spends sleeping and recovering from her work shift. “You do sacrifice sleep, food, being with your family. You sacrifice holidays.”
Training Fauquier County Fire and Rescue training includes classroom instruction on fire behavior and other topics, physical education including lifting ladders and dragging fire hoses, and providing basic life-support services to the sick or injured. By far the largest percentage of emergency calls — 83% — are medical, Assistant Fire Chief Michael Gillam said. That’s true in Fauquier County and nationwide, he said. Firefighter training is a full-time job that encompasses 1,040 hours. Graduates are certified in: • Firefighting • Recognizing and handling hazardous materials • Providing aid to fellow firefighters who are injured or in peril • Driving fire trucks and other emergency vehicles • Providing basic emergency first aid as certified emergency medical technicians. From there, graduates can go on to earn additional certifications to improve their skills. All training is based on requirements by the state of Virginia and the National Fire Protection Association. “I think there’s something in the human heart that really craves challenge, and I think deep down we all know that we can do more than we do,” Shepherd said.

Grand jury indicts 16 defendants
A grand jury convened in Fauquier County Circuit Court July 25 and indicted 16 defendants on 22 charges. Maria C. Argueta, of Warrenton, was indicted on one felony count of driving while intoxicated. She was arrested April 12 and is currently in custody. April Brooke Bumbrey, of Fred-
ericksburg, was indicted on one felony count of possessing a schedule I or II drug. She was arrested Jan. 14 and was released from custody on a personal recognizance bond. John Douglas Embrey, of Markham, was indicted on one felony count of grand larceny of a firearm and one felony count of pos-
Fauquier County EMS captain tells other women: ‘You can do it’ FIRST RESPONDERS, from page 4 Fire and rescue services still are figuring out how to help employees balance family life with their work, she said. To attract more women into fire service, departments will need to better address the needs of families, including reliable day-care for shifts that start at 6 a.m., when few day-care centers are open. There is no denying the job is physically demanding. Men generally have more muscle mass than women, but women can use their brains to create workarounds. For example, women can handle heavy hoses using different techniques than men. Potter said, “A lot of women are very technique-based, especially in this job,” she said. “I’m not going to do the job the same as my 300-pound partner.” Potter must stay in good physical shape because moving people’s bodies is heavy work. “You don’t have to be a big, burly person,” she said. “You just have to maintain your fitness.” Potter works out at a local gym. Fire departments traditionally have been “boys’

clubs” and turning that around takes time. Potter has run into obstacles because she is a woman. “You don’t always get the same respect,” she said. There are men who believe “You shouldn’t talk to me like that because my mom doesn’t talk to me (like that).” That sentiment isn’t just within the department, but also comes from patients. For example, Potter once went with a female partner to the home of an elderly woman in distress. When the woman saw them, she said, “I thought I called the fire department.” The patient was confused because she expected men, not women, to be firefighter EMTs. In another case, a patient wondered why Potter and not her male partner was providing treatment. “He was like, ‘Well, Ma’am, she’s the paramedic. She’s taking care of you.’ “ Being a woman in a management role also is challenging. “You really have to be able to advocate for yourself,” Potter said. “I’m a pretty no-nonsense type in general, but I think that being in the fire department for most of my adult life has really kind of made that the forefront of my personality.” Working as hard as the men isn’t enough, Potter said. “I think as women we have to prove ourselves tenfold. It’s like a lot of the paramilitary organizations where men are used to being in charge.” Another challenge for women in fire and rescue positions is parental leave. Potter had to use

accrued leave to pay for 12 weeks off after the birth of the couple’s son. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act guarantees 12 weeks off after the birth of a child and a job to come back to, but it does not guarantee pay during that leave. Getting enough paid time off to cover 12 weeks of parental leave took five years, Potter said. Even with 12 weeks’ leave, returning to such a physically demanding job was tough, she said. The challenges went beyond trying to pump milk for the baby when a call came in at the station, and she had to drop everything and go. “I told people I was so ready to go back to work — like to leave the house to go back — but I was not ready to work 24 hours. I’m like, ‘I guess I’m ready to go back to duty, but I don’t fit in any of my pants, and I’m tired.’” Light duty assignments for six months after a baby is born would work much better, she said. By then, babies likely are waking up only once during the night, and new mothers are stronger. “There’s a lot of sexism in the fire department [nationwide],” Potter said, but it gradually is fading as older firefighters retire and younger, perhaps more progressive recruits take their places. “I think we’ll see it less and less, but it’s definitely still there. It’s definitely still very much alive.” Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@fauquier.com

It seems to be working because the cancer is not progressing,” he said of his glioblastoma cancer. The Optune device he wears creates electric fields that disrupt cancer cell division. Fortunately, Fuechsel has had 20 years to grow a business and a loyal team to pitch in when he needs to rest. Now 62, Fuechsel arrived in Warrenton by way of New Jersey with his wife in 1999. The two met on a snowy day in Berlin, Germany, years earlier waiting for a bus to attend church. “We were both on our way to different churches,” said Virginia Fuechsel, who was in Germany earning a doctorate in musicology. “He ended up joining mine,” she added. They married in 1985 and welcomed three daughters during the 1990s. The technology company Siemens brought the family to America, and Fuechsel joined the U.S. telecommunications division. Unfortunately, the project only lasted two years; in 2001 he found himself unemployed. The family then made its way to Warrenton, close to Virginia Fuechsel’s parents, who lived in Middleburg at the time. Finding computer work wasn’t easy for the recent immigrant. “I needed a security clearance, and while I had the experience and knowledge, companies knew a German couldn’t get a clearance at that time. They were more inclined to hire a new college graduate that could get the clearance and teach him what he needed to know, than me who had the knowledge but couldn’t get a clearance.” In 2002, he joined the momentum behind small start-up companies and opened his own small business. “I needed to network and joined the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce. This wasn’t easy for me as I am not an outgoing person,” he admitted. “Thankfully I had very nice people in the community supporting me.” Fuechsel began running ads in the local paper to attract clients. “Nothing happened at first. The business, which I ran from my house, was slow to grow.” “George Rowand then wrote a large piece about the ‘Computer Doctor’ in Warrenton that ran in the Fauquier Times.

“A girl in my daughter’s kindergarten class once said ‘Klausy Mousey’ and it stuck,” Fuechsel said of the mouse that has graced many of his computer comics over the years. “We had a high school girl working for us for a time, and she began creating graphics and comics. I wanted to promote our services in a fun and light-hearted way to the community. Over the years, Klausy Mousey became my mascot,” he said. Klausy Mousey can be found in local media Dok Klaus advertisements and on the Dok Klaus website. www.dokklaus.com. grateful to him and the paper for publishing the piece,” said Fuechsel. Dok Klaus rented space on Ashby Street in Warrenton for more than 16 years before moving to his current location at 335 Waterloo Street, across from Carousel Frozen Treats. Now 20 years in business, Fuechsel has a team of employees helping him with the business so he can focus on his health. His wife left her Fairfax County teaching job to help him with the business. Today, he acknowledges that technology is moving at a pace that is difficult to keep up with. “I find myself having to learn new things all the time,” he said. And while he admitted that he hasn’t made a lot of money over the years and feels he may have undersold his services, he wouldn’t change a thing. “Most importantly, I was able to help people through the technical problems that they were having. I was happy to help,” he said. For the younger generation looking to follow in his footsteps, he recommends working in security, although small computer businesses still have their place. “We aren’t automated. When you call with a problem you get a person. There is something to be said for that,” he said. On his 20th anniversary, Fuechsel is grateful for the support of the community and is happy he has been able to give back. Fuechsel has provided internships and donated laptops to area schools over the years. “I have clients who continue to come back to me 10 years later,” he said. “And I hope to have more years to continue helping people.”

HB 4/SB 36: School principals; incident reports, written threats against school personnel, etc.
Schools are now required to report to law enforcement “certain enumerated acts that may constitute a misdemeanor offence.” The bill also requires schools to notify the parents or guardians of the alleged victims of such incidents. Under a law passed in 2020, schools were required only to report incidents that may constitute felonies. (Guzman, Scott, Webert, Vogel: Yea)
HB 67: Projecting vehicle loads; flagging.
Beginning July 1, 2023, this bill requires commercial vehicles transporting loads that extend more than 4 inches beyond the side of the vehicle or more than 4 feet behind the vehicle “to have the extremities of the load marked by one or more red or orange fluorescent warning flags, located as specified in the bill, at least 18 inches both in length and width.” (Guzman, Scott, Webert, Vogel: Yea)
HB 95: Adult protective services investigations; financial institutions to furnish records and information.

Military veterans with service-related disabilities of 30% or more can get lifetime hunting and fishing licenses for free or at a reduced cost, depend-
ing on the extent of their disabilities. Previously, veterans with 100% disabilities could obtain a lifetime license for free; veterans with disabilities of 70% or more could obtain a license at one-half the normal price. (Guzman, Scott, Vogel, Webert: Yea)

HB 230/SB 154: Teachers; licensure by reciprocity for military spouses, timeline for determination.
School divisions are required to recognize out-of-state teaching licenses for the spouses of reserve members of the federal military or the National Guard. Previously, license reciprocity had only been recognized for the spouses of active-duty service members. (Guzman, Scott, Vogel, Webert: Yea)
HB 231: Military personnel; increases days for leaves of absence.
This bill increases the amount of paid leave members of state military forces — the National Guard, Virginia Defense Force and National Defense Executive Reserve — from 15 days per year to 21 days. (Guzman, Scott, Vogel, Webert: Yea)

HB 740/SB 729: Catalytic converters; tampering with, etc., penalty.
This bill makes it a felony to steal or otherwise tamper with catalytic converters, common targets of theft because they contain precious metals that can be sold at high prices for scrap.

LAW, from page 8
SB 8: Hunting on Sundays; permits hunting on public or private land, etc.
Hunting is permitted on Sunday on public land. A colonial-era prohibition on Sunday hunting in almost all cases persisted until 2014, when the General Assembly passed a law allowing Sunday hunting on private land — but not public land. (Vogel, Webert: Yea; Guzman: Nay; Scott: Did not vote.)
SB 227: Misdemeanor sexual offenses where the victim is a minor; statute of limitations, penalty.
This bill extends the statute of limitation for the prosecution of some misdemeanor sexual offenses in which the victim is a child 15 years or older and the suspect is an adult at least three years older than the child.

SB 493: Sexually explicit visual material to another; civil action for dissemination of images, penalty
A person who sends an unsolicited explicit image to another person is liable in civil court for “actual damages” or $500, whichever is greater. (Guzman, Scott, Vogel, Webert: Yea)

persons, etc.
This bill allows auxiliary police officers to transport people who are subject to an emergency custody order or a temporary detention order. (Guzman, Scott, Vogel, Webert: Yea)
SB 649: Juvenile lawenforcement records; disclosures to school principals.

SB 741: Facial recognition technology; authorized uses.
Law enforcement agencies are allowed to use facial recognition software, although evidence obtained with the software cannot be used to establish probable cause for a search warrant or an arrest warrant. (Vogel: Yea; Guzman, Scott: Nay; Webert: Did not vote.)
SB 758: Switchblade; selling or possessing.
This bill overturns the 1950s-era ban on possessing a switchblade. The law does not eliminate the ban on carrying a concealed switchblade. (Guzman, Scott, Vogel, Webert: Yea)

This bill prohibits modifications to vehicles that raise the height of the front bumper more than 4 inches above the rear bumper, sometimes called the “Carolina Squat.” (Guzman, Scott, Vogel, Webert: Yea)

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Fauquier Times | July 27, 2022
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Moms for Liberty representative explains group’s perspective Requesting materials that are not age-appropriate be removed from school libraries is not censorship (which by definition of the American Library Association requires materials to be removed from the public space). If parents want their children to read obscene material, it is available—for free—in the public library and for purchase anywhere books are sold. Equating age-appropriateness in school libraries with censorship shows, at best, intellectual laziness and, at worst, intentional mischaracterization. We have the right to expect that children will not have access to material at school that will cause lasting harm. Multiple peer-reviewed academic studies have found that children exposed to sexually explicit materials, especially graphic sexual violence, have long-term problems with trust and intimacy and engage in risky sexual
behaviors. The data is clear: Explicit sexual material is bad for all kids, and parental involvement does not negate the harm. Making this statement requires no special insight, only the ability to understand research studies. Not restricting explicit sexual material in school libraries makes Fauquier County Public Schools, at best, complicit in normalizing obscenity, rape, incest and sexual violence in children’s minds and, at worst, responsible for the vicarious traumatization of the most vulnerable in our society. In the name of “diversity and inclusion,” a vocal minority of individuals in this community deny adults’ responsibility to protect children from obscenity so that the next generation is physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. Social media is full of misleading, inaccurate statements made by this vocal minority (and parroted by the media) about
the books Moms for Liberty-Fauquier County is reviewing. This minority accuses us of being an “astroturf dark money group” (June 3, 15, 16, July 10), targeting LGBTQ+ books in schools (June 22, July 6, July 7), having an “agenda of misinformation and bullying” (July 6), being bigoted and intolerant (July 6), and “removing representation from schools” (July 8). The implication of these claims — that our advocacy for removal of obscenity from school libraries is about removing representation and censoring the LGBTQ community — is the lunacy that somehow the removal of explicit sexual material silences the voices and experiences of minorities. We can be proud that FCPS1 libraries are incredibly representative of all races, genders and sexual orientations. What we cannot be proud of is the vicarious traumatization of children that is enabled by the
choice to include sexually explicit materials in schools. The sum total of Moms for Liberty-Fauquier County’s official efforts have been to create awareness that obscene materials are in schools and request that three books — all involving heterosexual obscenity — be removed. The first book included explicit descriptions of a child being repeatedly raped by a family member. The second book contained visual images of women being raped to include an image of a woman with her skirt above her head and her genitals a bloody pulp having been raped to death with a bottle. The third book was declared obscene [for unrestricted viewing by minors] by the courts in Virginia Beach. How sad that adults are fighting to keep these books in our schools. AMIE BOWMAN Warrenton
Focus should be on whether questioned school library books are ‘obscene,’ not the notion of censorship Today I saw a letter to the editor regarding the article "Some parents want Kettle Run library to remove 3 books they see as pornographic, violent" (Fauquier Times, July 6). This letter to the editor piqued my interest as I attended the school board meeting when these books were discussed by parents. After reading the article tonight, I can't help but wonder why the discussion is centered around censorship and, in many instances, the Moms for Liberty group itself, rather than the materials presented. Censorship has been a part of all of our lives to some degree for a very long time. Schools and institutions have always censored explicit and violent materials, including textbooks. Teachers and staff
have always censored their language when in the presence of parents and teachers. This is because children attending schools are a captive audience. In our day-to-day lives, we all censor our language and actions when necessary, and especially in the presence of children. We all follow established societal norms and community standards at work, school, church, etc. with regards to our chosen language and behaviors. This is out of respect for all views and all people, as we go about our way in the world around us. This is not a controversial concept or idea. Even if one disagrees with that sentiment, there is much more to debate regarding the materials these parents have publicly challenged. For starters, Fauquier County Public School’s supervisor of
library and media acknowledged at the school board meeting that librarians do not get the opportunity to read these books before they are placed in the school library. It seems reasonable for parents to have concerns and review the content with a degree of scrutiny given that revelation. Additionally, much of the content in question, in my opinion, borders on "obscene" as defined by Code of Virginia, section 18.2-372, and is certainly applicable as schools are considered public places. If we all look past our preconceived notions of who and why these books have been challenged, I think we would agree the discussion is necessary and healthy for the entire community. ROBERT WATSON Warrenton
Active shooter drills in Fauquier County public schools a grim necessity The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office recently went over the standard procedure in the case of an active shooter. I’m a recent Liberty High School graduate, and since at least first grade, across every school I’ve attended, I’ve participated in the lockdown drills that took place at least once per semester. These drills typically looked like this: Put all the students against the wall parallel to the door and stay as quiet as possible, then wait for help. Included in this drill were school staff and police officers walking throughout the school making sure every door was locked. These drills were commonplace for us; they were no different from tornado or fire drills. Depending on the teacher, the in-classroom procedures would differ; some teachers instructed their students to grab the closest approximation to a weapon, including scissors or shears. Alongside a weapon, we were told to be proactive in our
protection, usually by pushing all the desks against the door and finding a thick textbook to hold up against our chests. I’ve sent my own mother the ‘I love you text’ before, usually during a lockdown in which we weren’t told what was happening. After every national tragedy in which school-aged children are slaughtered, the conversation on gun control starts back up. Hung Cao, the GOP candidate for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District seat, had this to say after the Uvalde, Texas tragedy in which 19 students and two teachers were massacred by an 18-year-old with an AR-15-style rifle: “Gun control has never stopped anyone. Most people get bludgeoned to death and stabbed to death than they get shot.” This is simply not true. According to homicide data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Centers
for Disease Control, most victims of homicide are killed by gun violence. In 2020, gun violence surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for adolescents in the U.S. I want every parent and every young adult who is capable of voting in this coming general election to consider the tragic reality that is gun
violence within our schools and what that means for them when they place their vote this November. Is the death of our children in public schools truly worth your so-called freedom to own an assault rifle?

JACOBS, COSTANZO ARE 2022 FAUQUIER TIMES LIBERTY ATHLETES OF THE YEAR ‘A joy to coach,’ Jacobs left his mark as mobile linebacker, lacrosse defender
Costanzo was a constant contributor in field hockey, hoops and even lacrosse
By Jason S. Rufner
By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
Special to the Fauquier Times
Austin Jacobs doesn’t play video games and he doesn’t spend a lot of time on his phone. He’d rather be outside, playing football. He’s been that way since he was 4, playing in the Fauquier Youth Flag Football League. “Football has been my main sport my whole life. I just had a natural knack for the game of football,” said the linebacker, who will play at Washington & Jefferson College and is 2022 Fauquier Times Liberty High Boys Athlete of the Year. Jacobs, who also played lacrosse, didn’t enjoy his first tackle football experience at age 10. “I absolutely hated it at first. It was just new, a little bit intimidating,” said Jacobs, who wound up playing in the flag league until age 15. “I was comfortable with [flag football].”
Coaches often talk about “glue” players. Those athletes provide the cohesion teams require to be competitive. They may not have glitzy statistics or constantly make headlines, yet teams need their leadership and unselfish play. They just make a team better. The above description fits threesport standout Emma Costanzo, who is the 2022 Fauquier Times Liberty High Girls Athlete of the Year. Costanzo earned first-team all-Northwestern District honors in field hockey last fall and was second-team all-district in honors basketball. She closed her career playing lacrosse for the first time, and was a starter.

Highly successful Yancey steps down as Kettle Run boys hoops coach By Peter Brewington
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
After serving three impressive years, Kettle Run High boys basketball coach. Christian Yancey is moving on. He’s leaving after accepting a job as special education teacher at Burke School in the Fairfax County Public Schools system. A former Cougar player who became one of the youngest boys basketball coaches in county history at age 23, Yancey took his teams to the Class 4 region tournament twice in his short tenure “It was a tough decision to leave Kettle Run basketball. I coached there for three years, and before that I went to high school there. But it was a decision that I had to make personally to grow as a young man,” he said. “The simple reason for switching was that I felt I had given everything I had in that moment, and I wanted to see some other things, specifically for my job,” said Yancey. “At the end of the day, I am a teacher first and coaching comes second.” Yancey’s Cougars went 12-10 this past season, including a 50-48 upset of top-seeded Millbrook in the Northwestern District semifinals that vaulted them into the Cass 4 Region C semifinals, where they fell to Loudoun County. His first team in 2020 also made regionals in spectacular fashion. Seeded No. 6, the Cougars posted a 47-45 win over the No. 2-seeded Handley in the semifinals. They also upset No. 3 James
Christian Yancey, 26, wasn’t much older than his Kettle Run players when he began coaching them four years ago as a recent Radford University grad.

Wood 49-45 in the quarters. His second team went 1-6 in the pandemic marred 2020-21 season. A former Cougars’ point guard, Yancey, 26, graduated from Kettle Run in 2014 after helping the Cougars to one of the best basketball seasons in program history. He graduated from Radford University, then came back to Kettle Run to teach. After serving as freshman coach he was hired as a 23-year-old head coach on the recommendation of outgoing coach Troy Washington. “The AD, Paul Frye, was one of my backbones at Kettle Run as a student and as a coach. That whole community, I absolutely love,” Yancey said. He and Washington are the only two head coaches in program history. After the 2018-19 season Washington took a teaching job at nearby Battlefield, leaving Kettle Run’s head coach position open for the first time since the school opened in 2008. Kettle Run’s new coach is expected to be Demond Tapscott, who now gets to coach his football/basketball star son Jordan for Jordan’s senior year in 2022-23.

COSTANZO, from page 15 She played as sophomore on the school’s most-successful team in school history, a squad that shattered numerous school and county records. As a senior, Costanzo immediately made an impact on first-year coach Erin Burton, who was impressed with her knowledge and skill set. “Emma stood out to me because she was always good about providing feedback on the effectiveness of certain drills or suggestions to help herself or her teammates improve,” Burton said. Costanzo played the center midfield slot, which is a key position in most teams’ formations. She took most of the team’s self starts and free hits. “I scored a couple of times, but my main thing was sending [the ball] forward. I helped transition the field,” she said of her primary role when Liberty regained possession in its defensive end or in the midfield. “Driving the ball is my favorite thing,” she added. Liberty had a down season, but Costanzo had hopes of a first-team all-district berth after gaining second-team recognition as a junior. “I was at basketball practice,” she began, noting hockey teammate Sydni Steele was a manager. “I kept asking her if she had heard anything “I was excited,” she admitted when learning of the accolade. A week or so later, Costanzo was delighted when informed she had garnered a second-team all-region spot.

Emma Constanzo enjoyed playing hoops for her dad Marc, who was Liberty’s head coach. “I’m going to miss field hockey so much,” she admits.
Playing hoops for dad
Costanzo had her basketball baptism with the Warrenton Youth Sports Club (WYSC) at age 12. Father Marc Costanzo was her coach, a relationship that continued though travel play, middle school and her four years at Liberty in some fashion. “My dad was a big influence in basketball. I’m going to miss being coached by my dad. We’ve grown super close through him coaching me,” she added, pointing to car trips to practices and games. Costanzo said her father did not criticize her away from the court. “My dad is pretty good about knowing how I am and not getting me upset. It’s more I would be down on myself,” she said. “I learned early on Emma beats herself up for mistakes she makes,” the coach said.
JACOBS, from page 15 That’s when he received some encouragement from Jody Branham, a youth flag football coach Jacobs had known since he first played. “He said, ‘I know you can do this,’” Jacobs recalled. “He reassured me that he knew I was going to succeed, that I just had to stick it out a little longer.”
Coachability and leadership
The summer before his freshman year, Jacobs participated in a NextGen camp for promising middle school football players, and caught the eye of Liberty’s then-coach Sean Finnerty. “He told me I had the potential to become a college football player,” Jacobs said. “After hearing that from somebody else, I knew I had it in me. That really motivated me.” Jacobs describes himself as a coachable player who leads by example. Last fall, on a team with more freshmen and sophomores than seniors, he made a point to bring the younger guys into the fold. “We’d go out to eat after practice, that kind of stuff,” he said. “Always trying to be a positive light.” Liberty head football coach Travis Buzzo called coaching Jacobs “a privilege.” “When Austin spoke, people listened, and he served as a role model for years,” Buzzo said. “His maturity is unmatched.”

I’m able to communicate and in a sense lead the defense,” he said. Jacobs was picked as a first-team all-Northwestern District linebacker as a junior, racking up 75 tackles in six games. He also earned second-team all-Region 4C honors. He was second-team all-district as a senior, recording 90 tackles. “Austin is incredibly talented,” Buzzo said. “He was able to help us even as a sophomore on a really talented football team. As he got older, his talents became more diverse and was able to really help us on both sides of the football. By his senior year, he had lined up at linebacker, d-line, tight end, fullback, tailback, and even quarterback.”

“In a game, when she would make a mistake. I will start to call her out on it,” Marc Costanzo said, but his daughter is already telling him what went wrong. “I think my voice or tone can come off a little harsh at times,” he laughed. “And I learned very early on with her that she’s gotten the point by [shooting] the death glare back at me.” Costanzo said coaching his daughter was a pleasure. He cited her work ethic, noting she played every minute of game time and never missed a practice. She also was a quick study who absorbed the changes her father installed last winter as the Eagles’ new head coach. Her versatility was needed
throughout the season. “This year we were a very small team with all guards,” coach Costanzo began, describing how she might go head-to-head with the point guard to prevent penetration, be assigned to another foe’s best shooter or “cover the post player where she was outsized by six inches or more,” the coach said. “I’m more defensive-minded,” Emma stated. “Offensively, I get more anxious. It took me until this year to get more aggressive going to the basket.” While she felt more comfortable setting up teammates and making assists, Costanzo also could hit a 3-pointer when left open.

skills in Jacobs that would translate. “He was also the JV lacrosse coach, and just from watching me play football, he thought I should try lacrosse.” Jacobs was open to the idea as a way to stay in shape for football. He found the early going tough, learning a new sport in high school. “I started off at midfielder, but that spring he switched me to defender,” Jacobs said. “I’ve really enjoyed that.” He found the hip movements as a lacrosse defenseman similar to those of a football linebacker. “I was able to relate linebacker and d-pole very well, so I picked up on that very quickly,” he said. “When I was playing lacrosse, I could almost pretend I was playing linebacker.” He progressed fast enough to earn
a varsity roster spot as a sophomore, though that season was derailed by COVID. He didn’t play lacrosse as a junior, since the pandemic moved football to the spring. But he returned to lacrosse to complete his senior year, helping the Eagles to a 9-5 record and a place in the Region 4C tournament, much to the delight of Liberty boys’ lacrosse head coach Mike Gesiotto. “Austin Jacobs is a joy to coach,” said Gesiotto. “Started freshman year with no experience and ended his career as a shutdown close defender. He is a unique athlete. He will do great things in life.” Jacobs said he’s glad he had one more season of lacrosse.

Living Pastures — Pastureraised and grass-fed animals
In September 2021, Elliott opened the Living Pastures storefront in Marshall. At the store, he sells chicken and beef from his farm, as well as products from four like-minded farmers and businesses. Eventually, Elliott said he hopes to sell pork, baked goods and even hold workshops to teach skills like cider making. “Our hope is to bring in some more farm-store partners and continue to make it a community enterprise, so that it’s not just our project, but a shared project and something that we can work with friends and make new friends in the process,” Elliott said. At Living Pastures Farm — started in 2019 — Elliott has chickens and cattle. The pasture-raised chickens are kept in bottomless, moveable and wired shelters where they get full sunlight and direct contact with the ground, Elliott said. Using this farming technique, Elliott allows the chickens to feed and excrete on the patch of grass that the shelter is on — helping to keep the soil healthy and making a tastier and healthier product for the consumer. He moves the shelter each day to a new patch of grass.
Because 99% of poultry chickens are raised in environmentally controlled shelters, “Keeping chickens on pastures is the ‘weird’ thing to do,” Elliott said. He processes the chickens himself with a team of workers in a processing shelter next to the storefront. Elliott manages the same agricultural technique with his cattle. He places them in new areas to graze each day and sometimes moves them every four hours, depending on how small the pasture is. Elliott has also begun raising pigs on the farm. Although it is not sold in the farm store yet, customers can begin to reserve their pork for 2022. “It’s important for us to take care of the places that we’re given, and the places that we find ourselves,” he said. “Farming is a very tangible way to be good stewards of the thing that we’ve been gifted, so I really like being able to take care of the land, try to improve the land and see the pastures and animals flourish — living their best life as one may say.” He added that farming is centered around the home, and his two children are able to help him out with the chicks and the garden, and “It’s nice to be able to do productive things together.” Reach Abby Zimmardi at azimmardi@fauquier.com

18 SPORTS/REAL ESTATE COSTANZO, from page 16 In the opening game of the season versus Orange, Liberty trailed by three very late in the game. The Eagles gained possession with 10 seconds remaining in regulation and called a timeout to set up a play. The first shot went awry, but Liberty grabbed the rebound. Costanzo astutely stationed herself behind the 3-point line, received a pass and sank a shot at the buzzer to send the contest into overtime. “That play will always stand out to me because of the emotion I saw from the entire team,” her dad coach said.

She would later be elevated to the varsity to play for her father. Costanzo planned to play soccer as a senior. However, after attending two lacrosse conditioning sessions with hockey teammate Alex Palizzi, coach Amy Lacey invited Costanzo to try out. Costanzo’s initial reaction was to stick with soccer. “I was talking to my dad who said, ‘Whichever one you think you will enjoy more, go for it,’’’ she recalled. Costanzo started every game, moving to midfield after beginning on defense. “Emma was a great addition to the

Austin Jacobs will play football at Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania.
The Eagles knocked Kettle Run out of the postseason with an 11-8 win May 20, giving Jacobs a nice memory for his final lacrosse campaign. “Kettle Run is usually a pretty dominant lacrosse team, so we were able to hunker down and beat them in the playoffs this year,” he said. On the gridiron, Jacobs fondly recalls Liberty’s 21-14 home win over Loudoun County to open the 2019 postseason. In
team from day one. She picked up the basics very quickly and worked to hone her skills. By the end of the season she was a staple on the draw circle and was very effective there,” said coach Lacey. “She rarely came off the field during games because of her impact on the field.” Costanzo said the basketball helped her: “I was very fast and quick, so if I had the ball, I could sprint 50 yards. I wish I had started my freshman year,” she admitted. Costanzo is Christopher Newport University bound. She plans to major in anthropology before pursuing a career in archaeology. “I will be constantly learning new things. I don’t think I will ever get tired of it,” said Costanzo, who hopes to play club hockey and possibly lacrosse.
the rotation as a sophomore, Jacobs recovered a fumble in the fourth quarter to seal victory for the Eagles. Two years later, Jacobs helped Liberty win the Bird Bowl, scoring the decisive touchdown in the Eagles’ 24-20 triumph over the Fauquier Falcons. “I was playing defensive end, and I came off the edge, and the quarterback fumbled and I recovered it,” he remembered. “Our offense drove to the 2-yard line, then I came in at running back and scored the touchdown.” Jacobs is proud of his family’s legacy at Liberty. His mother, Kelly, scored the first ever goal in Liberty’s field hockey history. “I know I’ve left my mark on the school and the football program. That’s the biggest part for me,” he said.

Running for the Presidents
Jacobs will attend Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pa., a school with NCAA Division III athletics. He also considered offers from Shenandoah University and Ferrum College. “I just felt at home there. They have a really dominant football program and really strong academics,” he said, noting that the Presidents’ head coach Mike Sirianni is among the winningest at that level over the past decade. “His brother [Nick] is the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles,” Jacobs pointed out. Jacobs will enroll at W&J with an eye toward possibly transferring to a higher level and playing beyond college. “I’m going to go as far as my skill set will take me.”

Reverend Lemuel Adolphus Montgomery Reverend Lemuel Adolphus Montgomery passed away on Saturday, July 2, 2022. He was 81 years old. We’ve lost a powerful, fun-loving spirit who was dedicated to the Lord, family, and community. Reverend Montgomery was born on September 15, 1940, in Winston-Salem, NC. As a child he enjoyed music and play writing for his siblings, Chico, Clara, Shasha, and Jimmy. His passion for learning led him to attend Winston Salem State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Education. Ever the scholar, he received a Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Virginia. Reverend Montgomery met his wife, Joan Armstrong Montgomery, in 1960 at Winston Salem State. They were college sweethearts and married on June 22, 1963. Shortly thereafter, they moved from Winston Salem to Warrenton, Virginia. Reverend Montgomery quickly became an active member in his community as an educator, choir director, musician, and friend. Both Reverend Montgomery and Joan found their church home at Mt Zion Baptist Church, where they were dedicated to the music ministry. In their new hometown of Warrenton, Reverend Montgomery and Joan raised their only daughter, Phaedra Montgomery Paraison. Reverend Montgomery was a passionate educator and school administrator. As leaders in the Fauquier community, both Reverend Montgomery and Joan paved the way as Black educators during public school integration. Reverend Montgomery legally challenged the unequal compensation of Black teachers by the school board and won. Reverend Montgomery taught physical education and 6th grade education. He moved on to become Vice Principal of C.M. Bradley Elementary School where he taught and served for over 20 years. After 33 years of marriage and the passing of his first wife, Joan Montgomery, in 1996, Reverend Montgomery remarried to Madelyn Jenkins Montgomery in 2005. Together, they led Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in fellowship and teaching of the Lord’s Word. Reverend Montgomery faithfully performed his duties as head pastor of Mt. Moriah Church from 2006 up until his recent passing. In addition to his dedication to the church and teaching of the word, Reverend Montgomery continued his passion for the arts and was lead play writ for the Afro-American History Association. He produced several plays and musicals as a fundraiser for this organization that was near and dear to his heart. Even as a head pastor, Reverend Montgomery continued his role in education as an adjunct professor at Longwood University. He was also a prominent member of the Catoctin Association, the central Atlantic conference of pastors who are called to work towards God’s mission here on earth. Reverend Montgomery also maintained an active role as music director at Mt. Zion Baptist Church and reaffirmed this dedication until his passing. Reverend Montgomery is survived by his daughter, Phaedra Montgomery Paraison (Herman); two step-daughters: Tammy and Tensi Jenkins; two step-sons: William and Gregory Jenkins; grandchildren: (Alex and Lauren Paraison); siblings: Reverend Clara Montgomery Goode [Edward], Shasha Coleman, and Reverend Jimmy Lewis Montgomery [Lacheryl]). He was preceded in death by his parents: John James and Annie Belle Lee Montgomery; brother, Chico Montgomery; his first wife, Joan Armstrong Montgomery and second wife, Madelyn Jenkins Montgomery. His impact on the community through education and church leadership will last for generations. The memorial service will be Saturday, September 17, 2022, at 11:00 am, at Faith Christian Church and International Outreach Center, 6472 Duhollow Road, Warrenton, VA, 20187.

Elizabeth Goff It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Goff, born Elizabeth Jones June 16th, 1934, of Orlean Va. Saturday July 9th. One of 4 children she grew up with her three brothers in the beautiful hills of West Virginia. It was there on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan college that she met her husband Kent whom she married on the 28th of August of 1955. Elizabeth, known to most as Sue was loved by many. She is survived by her husband Kent; her daughter Robin; her Grandchildren Jennifer Edwards, Lucas Goff and Sydney Goff: as well as her 6 Great-Grandchildren, and her brother Charlie Jones. Elizabeth is predeceased by her two brothers Joe and Earl Jones as well as her children Alice and David. Elizabeth and her husband had a long eventful and adventurous life leading them to their final home in Orlean, VA where they have resided together since the late 70s. She retired from Raytheon in the mid 90s and has enjoyed quilting and gardening and traveling abroad since then. Her greatest enjoyment though has probably been the grandchild and great grandchildren that have made her the Greatest Grandmother ever. Her heart and her love will live on in all of us for eternity. To say she will be greatly missed is not adequate. Elizabeth did not wish to have a formal funeral service and respecting those wishes the family is not planning a service at this time. We do welcome any friends or relatives who wish to share their thoughts and condolences to do so as they would have during her life. We thank you for your condolences during this tough time for our family.

William Carter Mayo Evelyne Margiotta Evelyne Margiotta, age 77, passed away on Wednesday, July 20th, 2022, surrounded in her final moments by her family’s tenderness as well as the voice of Frank Sinatra. She was born on November 11, 1944, in Baghdad, Iraq, daughter of the late Elias and Naima and sister to the late Alice. Evelyne’s story begins at the end of the British occupation of Iraq—her childhood marked by an ensuing crescendo of antiJewish violence, political uprisings, and martial law. As the rioting and instability increased, Evelyne’s parents made the life-saving decision to hastily whittle down their life’s possessions into four leather steamer trunks and embark on a journey towards safety. Beirut, Lebanon served as their first stop, and for a time Evelyne enjoyed relative stability. During these formative years, she studied French and hereby crystallized “la vie” of an unapologetic Francophile. However, when religious and political tensions intensified, Evelyne was forced to pack up her textbooks. Once again, the family was forced to flee—this time in response to the Lebanese coup d’état. Evelyne’s family eventually settled into a small two-bedroom apartment in Rego Park, NY. While her father continued to work on supporting the flight of other Iraqi Jews into the United States, Evelyne completed Forest Hills High School. Following graduation, Evelyne completed coursework at the New York School of Interior Design. The trajectory of her life changed the instant her future husband asked her to dance at a singles event in Flushing, Queens. Evelyne, resplendent in a bouffant wig emblematic of that decade, immediately said yes. As Sinatra crooned “Strangers in the Night,” Evelyne and Joe secured their blue diamond eyes on each other. Evelyne and Joe moved to Long Island, NY with their 2 daughters. Evelyne enjoyed swimming, traveling, and watching network television with her family. It is because of Evelyne’s appreciation of classic television programming that her daughters know firsthand who shot J.R., who was the special guest at Luke and Laura’s wedding, and who can turn the world on with her smile. During her years as a travel agent, Evelyne organized many family vacations across North America. Whether it was through the giant redwoods of California, across the rocky seas of the Caribbean, or up and down the Disney World monorail, Evelyne cherished her vacation time with family above anything else. When Evelyne turned 50, she made the brave decision to pursue a college degree. And on May 19, 1996, Evelyne’s family celebrated a hat trick when both daughters and their mother graduated on the same exact day—Patricia from law school, Jenny from college, and most importantly Evelyne from Nassau Community College with an associate degree. The birth of Evelyne’s two grandchildren, Emma and Leo, served as the next significant inflection point in her life. Evelyne thrived in the role of the doting grandmother showering her grandchildren with gifts and unconditional love. In this role, Evelyne experienced the unadulterated joys of grandparenthood. Evelyne was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and is survived by her daughters Patricia and Jennifer, son-in-law Domenic, daughter-in-law Ana, and two grandchildren Emma and Leo. Family and friends are invited to a small and informal Celebration of Life Service on Thursday, July 28th, 2022, at the Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center St., Manassas, VA 20110. The service is scheduled for 5pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): www.nami.org.

Bill dedicated his life to his wife and children and instilled in them the importance of love of family and devotion to God. They moved to Warrenton in July 1965 when Bill was chosen by Tom Frost to build and manage his new Firestone independent dealership. Bill later purchased that store and managed it until retirement in 2001. He worked for Firestone for over 60 years. He was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church for 57 years and was active in many aspects of supporting the life of the church.

OBITUARIES Todd Daniel Herndon March 21, 1964 – July 19, 2022
Todd Daniel Herndon, 58, of Warrenton, VA went home to be with his Lord on July 19, 2022. He is a member of the Church of God at Manassas, VA, and is survived by his wife Naomi of Warrenton, his mother Elaine Gresham (husband David) of Warrenton, his brothers Steven (wife Fran) of Orange, VA, Gary of Ruckersville, VA, Dennis (wife Ellen) of Culpeper, VA, and Christopher Pierce of Owings Mills, MD, sisters Crystal Herndon of Georgetown KY and Jennifer Puckett of Mt. Sterling, KY, daughter Heather Lewis of Spotsylvania, VA, son Tyler (wife Amanda) of Catlett, VA, son Logan of Warrenton, VA, stepchildren Trinity Almarode of Louisa, VA and Devin Hughes (wife Megan) of Louisa, VA, and grandchildren Hailey Morris, Chloe Blue, Julian Lewis, Riley Herndon, Bentley Herndon, Daniel Herndon, and Cambria Herndon. He was preceded in death by his father Leo Herndon and son Brian Morris. Todd was well-loved and highly respected by all who knew him. He was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather, and his kindness to children endeared him to all the children who knew him. He was knowledgeable and skilled in many areas, and generously and unfailingly used his abilities to help those around him. He freely sacrificed his time to go the extra mile for someone in need, and countless people benefited from his willingness to do everything he could for others. Todd had a heart to serve the Lord, and always wanted to do whatever he could to help on Church projects, even donating weeks of labor in out-of-state locations to help congregations there. He wanted everyone to know he was giving from his heart, and not for any earthly reward. He was thankful God had given him the ability and means to help others, and he gave God the glory for it. He said many times he wanted to make it to heaven, and he did! Now he can say as Paul said: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day” (I Tim. 4:7-8).
