On ‘the edge of a cliff’ Why Warrenton’s ailing sewage treatment plant needs an $80M overhaul By Hunter Savery
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
For most Warrenton residents, the Fourth of July was a fun and relaxing day. It was a different story, however, at the town’s wastewater treatment plant. Employees there were clocking 24-hour shifts – with some working 10 to 12 hours without breaks – because the decades-old facility was on the brink of collapse. “Sludge” – the polite term for every bit of solid material that gets flushed down Warrenton’s toilets – had become backed up in the facility’s “secondary clarifiers,” one of the last steps in the sewage treatment process. By Wednesday, July 5, the plant couldn’t handle the town’s output. Trucks began hauling more than 12,000 pounds of sludge 39 miles to
Winchester – the only facility in the region willing to accept Warrenton’s waste. For days, the plant’s employees worked around the clock to keep the system running, and it wasn’t the first time. “I don’t like working on the cusp,” said Steven Friend, Warrenton’s assistant director of public works. “There’s a reason you don’t run along the edge of a cliff.” Years of deferred maintenance have left Warrenton’s only sewer and wastewater treatment plant in fragile condition. The town will now spend five years and an estimated $80.1 million restoring the plant to proper working order. To put the cost in perspective, the expense is about double that of Warrenton’s annual $40 million budget. See SEWAGE, page 2

Region’s sluggish solar can’t match surging data center demand By Peter Cary

This 225-acre solar farm near Nokesville is one of only two operating utilityscale solar facilities in Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William counties.
The two latest utility-scale projects proposed for Fauquier County are off to a rough start. Back in April, the planning commission rejected both an 832-acre solar facility proposed near Midland as well as a 466-acre project sited near Bristersburg. Open Roads Renewables, of Austin, Texas, is developing the Midland project, dubbed “Alameda Solar.” Last week, it held an open house to showcase its re-design for the 70-megawatt project, which, if approved on this second try, would produce enough electricity to power about 18,000 homes.
Torch Clean Energy, the developer of the Bristersburg-area project, is appealing the denial of its project to the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 10. The two projects illustrate Fauquier County’s rocky record with solar farms. With a comprehensive plan that favors the county’s rural lands and economy – plus residents who don’t want to see solar panels next door – county officials have so far approved just one solar farm, which Dominion built on its own property at the southern end of the county in 2017.

On ‘the edge of a cliff’ SEWAGE, from page 1 Earlier this year, the Warrenton Town Council allocated about $4.5 million of the $10.4 million the town received in federal American Rescue Plan Act money toward the project. Other funds for the improvements will be raised via a 23% hike in the town’s water and sewer rate, which the town council approved in its fiscal 2024 budget. The increase means the average residential bill will rise from $36.19 to $44.56 a month based on a usage of about 3,000 gallons, according to a town staff report. Both the total cost and timeline are subject to change, however, and the town council will have to review the plan and approve new allocations annually to cover the ongoing renovations. Even with a new plan, it will take a long time for the wastewater treatment plant, located on Frost Avenue, to be in fighting shape. Until then, the town will continue to rely on its employees’ diligent observation of every stage of the treatment process. “It’s falling apart around us,” Friend said, adding repeatedly: “It’s even worse than it sounds.”
Like fixing an old car
At the root of the problem is that the entire system is just plain old. Friend estimates that more than one-third of the wastewater treatment plant’s equipment is original from when it was built in 1957. While there have been many
changes since then, Friend likens them to fixing an old car. While repairs are possible, parts are increasingly difficult to find and often have to be customized to work in the aging system. Post-pandemic supply chain issues have exacerbated the problem. It currently takes 30 to 52 weeks for parts to be delivered to the plant, Friend said. The Warrenton Town Council got its latest update on the system from interim Town Manager Frank Cassidy earlier this month. “Now, more bad news,” Cassidy said during the town council’s July 11 meeting. “The wastewater treatment plant. It is not functioning the way it needs to right now. We are hauling upwards of 12,000 pounds of sludge out of there and hauling it out to Winchester now because the clarifiers are not functioning properly.” Supply chain problems have already led to delays. In August 2022, orders were placed to rehabilitate parts of the intake structure. The renovations were scheduled to begin this August but have been pushed off to October due to scarcity of parts, Friend said. Friend recalls that the town council asked him what part of the plant worries him the most. “All of it,” he said. “If you take one piece out, the whole system fails.” This is not an exaggeration. In early July, when one of the plant’s secondary clarifiers became backed up and workers tried to remove the sludge, it started backing up into the one working clarifier. That secondary clarifier is not slat-

ed to be replaced until 2026. Stopgap repairs to keep the clarifiers working will not begin until November. “The irony of it is we had scheduled to have the secondary clarifier fixed this week, and we cannot fix it because we had to get the sludge out of it,” Cassidy told the town council.
Risks to residents, the environment
Friend says that no single component can simply be pulled out and replaced because it throws the system out of balance. In an ideal world, the town would simply build a brand-new plant next to the existing one, but the cost for that would be incredibly high. Maintaining the delicate operating balance at the plant is physically demanding. There is no central control for all the various parts. Instead of modern touchscreens and advanced data-reporting systems, the components from 1957 operate via valves and levers that would look more at home on a World War II battleship than in a modern facility. There is a stark and visible contrast between the new and old pumps that are quite literally the heart of the facility. The old pumps are big, loud and dirty. Sprays of grease dot the floors around them as they are lubricated by gravity-pulled oil canisters: glass bottles that bob up and down with the motion of the pumps. The new pumps are sleek and clean with a much smaller footprint and fewer moving parts. They hum along efficiently with coverings of teal plastic and no oil sprays in sight. If the system fails, the cost will

be borne not only by the taxpayers but by the local ecosystems and the health of Fauquier residents. Treated water is released into a tributary of the Rappahannock River, and for a county where most homes rely on groundwater wells, there could be serious health ramifications if contaminated water is released. In 2021, Baltimore’s two largest water treatment plants failed, also because of trouble with the secondary clarifiers. Untreated sewage poured into local waterways, jeopardizing the health of local residents and the Chesapeake Bay and costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. A similar incident took place in Seattle in 2017. Friend said he sees the health of residents and the environment as his greatest responsibility. “You’ve gotta keep the earth clean and safe for future generations,” he said. “I don’t make water for you and me. I’m making water that’s safe for babies and people with immune system problems.” The town water plant is in better shape, but it carries design flaws of its own. If a storm or other unforeseen incident were to knock the water treatment plant offline, the town would only have 18 hours’ worth of water in reserve, according to Friend. Repairs for the water treatment system are projected to cost another $44.6 million, according to town documents. Reach Hunter Savery at hsavery@ fauquier.com

Memorial service for beloved school security officer set for Wednesday at Fauquier High By Jill Palermo
Memorial service for Salvator ‘Sal’ Torelli
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Salvator “Sal” Torelli devoted most of his last several years to keeping Fauquier High School safe and secure. On Wednesday, the school will host a memorial service to allow students, staff and the wider community to say their goodbyes. Torelli, an alum of Fauquier High School who went on to serve as a Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputy for 27 years, died unexpectedly at his Culpeper home on Wednesday, July 19. He was 59. At Fauquier High, Torelli was known for his bright smile, his compassion for young people and his easy way with students, staff and parents. Torelli had a knack for calming tense situations simply with his presence, said Fauquier High School Principal Kraig Kelican, who had known Torelli for about 30 years. “Sal was kind of a gentle giant. He was a fairly stout man but was as cordial, friendly, outgoing, caring and compassionate as anyone could ever be,” Kelican said. “He never met a stranger. He always had a smile on his face.” Torelli retired from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office in 2017 after spending several years as Fauquier High School’s “school resource officer” or SRO. In 2018, the Fauquier County School Board hired Torelli as one of the school division’s first “school security officers.”

Sal Torelli photographed in 2022. At the time, the positions had just been created by the Virginia General Assembly. The idea was to allow retired police officers and sheriff’s deputies to work as armed security guards in public schools to supplement the work of the SROs. Kelican said Torelli would spend his days walking the high school campus – both inside and out – to make sure the students, staff and buildings were secure. Most days, he also spent time in the student cafeteria or in the hallways building relationships with the students, Kelican said. “Our students and staff really felt comfortable with him,” Kelican said. “It was a passion for him to
make sure he kept everyone happy and everyone safe.” Torelli was a New Jersey native who moved to Fauquier County with his brother, Anthony Torelli, and his mother, when he was a child. When he was just 14 years old, joined the Cedar Run Volunteer Rescue Squad, which later became the Catlett Volunteer Fire Department, according to his obituary. Torelli became a Prince William County police officer in the 1980s and was hired by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s office in 1990. Former Fauquier fire chief Darren Stevens, who retired earlier this year, said he first met Torelli in the early 1990s. The two started law-enforcement Explorer Post 1077 in 1992. They remained friends and colleagues for more than three decades, and their sons became friends, Stevens said. “It hit my family pretty hard,” Stevens said of Torelli’s passing. Like others, Stevens said Torelli “lit up a room” with his smile. “You couldn’t have a bad day if you were with him,” he said. “He would change your outlook.” Kelican said he understood that
Torelli was supposed to take a road trip with his son, Ian Torelli, 20, a few days before he passed. Torelli had told Ian he wasn’t feeling well and urged him to go without him. The two liked to take long road trips in the summer months when Torelli was off on summer break, Kelican said. A few days later, one of Torelli’s neighbors went to check on Torelli after not seeing him for a while and discovered he had passed, Kelican said. Torelli is survived by his son, Ian Torelli; his brother, Anthony Torelli; and his nephew, Matthew, his obituary said. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office’s “Fauquier Cops for Children” program; to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital; or to “Tunnels to Towers,” the obituary said. His brother, Anthony Torelli also launched a GoFundMe page in recent days to raise money for Ian. Stevens said he was struck by how Torelli always sought out law-enforcement jobs in which he could do “the most good.” “He impacted hundreds of kids in our school system,” Stevens said. “He was just adored by the community. We should all leave things better than we find them, and Sal is clearly leaving Fauquier High School that way.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

The Plains couple deny anti-gay bias in their dispute with the Front Porch restaurant Staff Reports Mike and Melissa Washer say politics were never a motivation in their ongoing battle with the Front Porch Market & Grill restaurant in The Plains. In a letter to the Fauquier Times, the Washers wrote that from their perspective, the dispute was only about trash. They blamed The Washington Post for propelling the story into national news. “It was a squabble between neighbors over garbage,” the Washers wrote. “Then, the media twisted the story to fit a never-ending narrative: A conservative couple harasses two gay men who own a small-town restaurant.” The Post’s July 15 story was headlined “A gay couple ran a rural restaurant in peace. Then new
neighbors arrived.” The story described a dispute that began over the Washers refusing to wear masks in the restaurant, as was required by state law during the pandemic, and led to fights over trash and parking that left both sides saying they were harassed by the other. It cited political differences as an undercurrent in the dispute. The Washers own ICS Financial, a financial planning firm, which is located next door to the Front Porch restaurant on The Plains’ Main Street. The couple lives above their office. Their son, Arthur “Regan” Washer, is a managing partner in the firm. He’s also the Republican nominee for the Marshall District seat on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors.

Region’s sluggish solar can’t match surging data center demand SOLAR, from page 1 Besides Alameda and Sowego, the Fauquier County Planning Commission rejected two other solar farms in late 2021. The projects were denied for not conforming to the county’s comprehensive plan, which prioritizes preserving prime soils for agriculture. “They’re running into local opposition, and the local opposition is not always rational. So, that could end up being a real stumbling block in Virginia,” said Ivy Main, the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter’s co-chair for renewable energy. She argues that solar is often built on land that is marginally productive or on land where farmers just can’t make money. “So, we’re not seeing the breadbasket of America being turned into solar farms here,” she said. Meanwhile, Fauquier has six data centers in its approval pipeline, with at least two more on landowners’ wish lists. If most come to fruition, Fauquier could see its power needs jump by 1,000 megawatts or more. (A megawatt is a million watts, roughly enough to power 250 to 400 homes.) To meet that level of new power need, the county would need a dozen utility-scale solar projects like those proposed by Alameda and Sowego. To be sure, Virginia counties are not required to build enough solar farms to power their data centers. Solar farms anywhere can feed power into the grid and most in Virginia are in the southeastern and south-central part of the state. And Dominion has a mix of fossil fuel and renewable generation to supply power needed by data centers and other users. Still, the situation highlights the imbalance in Northern Virginia – indeed in the whole state – between the expanding data center industry with its exploding electricity needs and stretched power generation resources.
Solar goals vs. reality
The problem was brought home on May 1 when Dominion Energy released its 2023 Integrated Resource Plan. It contained the latest forecast of how much power Dominion customers would require in the next 15 and 25 years. The need eclipsed all previous predictions and called into question the thrust of the 2020 Virginia Clean Economy Act,

The Alameda solar project pitched for the Midland area envisions sheep grazing under the solar panels like this facility in Mechanicsville, Va. which had called for Virginia to retire all its fossil-fuel power generation facilities by 2045. The IRP said that to meet the unexpectedly high need for energy, more solar, wind and even “small nuclear modules” would be needed – a technology that’s at least 15 years away, experts say. And the commonwealth’s coaland gas-fired plants would likely have to stay online. In fact, according to one estimate from PJM Interconnection, which operates the grid in 13 states, the summer peak load in Dominion Energy’s zone would nearly double between 2023 and 2038. “Rising energy and peak growth from data centers in Virginia is a key driver,” the report said. A June 26 Dominion presentation to PJM, which oversees 21 electricity suppliers, predicts data center demand in just the utility’s “zone” will rise from about 3,100 megawatts in 2023 to more than 13,500 megawatts by 2038. (Actual demand tends to run at about 60% of requested capacity according to Dominion.) That’s a quadrupling of data center demand over 15 years. Currently, data centers account for about 21% of Dominion’s power load, but that percentage rises to 31% under this scenario. Meanwhile, PJM projects only a slight upward increase in load due to electric vehicles and other new needs – about 0.8 % across the entire PJM territory. Dominion pitched four alternate plans to deal with the power surge, but even the two less expensive ones would require nearly 20,000 megawatts of new solar power, accompanied by

3,220 megawatts of wind in 25 years. That’s 4,000 more megawatts of solar than the 16,100 proposed by the Virginia Clean Economy Act. And, it would result in solar producing 45% of Dominion’s power – even if fossil fuel plants stayed running. Under the VCEA, 65% of the new solar and wind projects should be built by Dominion and 35% by private development companies. Dominion says it’s trying. In 2007, the company had 0.4 megawatts of capacity produced by solar. Currently, there are about 5,000 megawatts worth of solar operating or in development in Virginia, split between Dominion and private owners. Last month, the State Corporation Commission, which oversees Dominion projects, approved 23 new solar and battery storage projects providing nearly 500 megawatts of power by 2025. Aaron Ruby, Dominion’s chief spokesman, has said the utility plans to bring around 1,000 megawatts of solar power online every year to reach its goals. That would mean 10 to 20 new solar farms annually.
Lots of data centers, little solar
Still, it would be easier to reach renewable goals if Fauquier County and its neighbors saw fit to approve utility-level solar facilities. Loudoun County has 115 operating data center buildings, according to DGTL INFRA Real Estate, but no utility-level solar farms, though Dominion will break ground this month on a new 150-megawatt solar and battery storage facility near Dulles International Airport. In Prince William County, which has at least 42 data centers in operation, there is just one utility-scale solar facility. It’s owned by Energix Renewables on 225 acres south of Nokesville and generates 20 megawatts – enough for about 5,000 homes but not nearly enough for even one hyperscale data center. “It just shows the disconnect, with the main driver for renewables and utility-scale solar being data centers,” said Gem Bingol, the Piedmont Environmental Council’s land-use representative in Loudoun. “EVs (electric vehicles) and electrification get a lot of attention with very little acknowledgment of what is needed to offset the demands of the data center industry.” One industry consultant, who asked not to be named because he works with solar developers and
county officials, said the imbalance is driven by the not-in-my-backyard or NIMBY effect. He said that it takes five to seven years for rural counties to get used to seeing a solar facility or two and lose their resistance to more. Meanwhile, Ryan Gilchrist, who is trying to gain Fauquier County’s approval of the Alameda solar project, said he hopes his company has done enough to make its project more acceptable. Among the changes, the company removed solar panels from the takeoff and landing paths of the nearby Warrenton-Fauquier Airport and reduced the solar-paneled footprint to 465 acres. It also set back its project “multiple thousands of feet” from the nearby historic Ebenezer Baptist Church at Blackwelltown. The company also tested the soil and determined it is suitable for pasture, so it plans to plant crops that will host pollinators. It has also arranged to pay a local farmer to graze sheep there; the farmer gets to profit from the sheep operation and will get a 3% annual interest in the property. And they don’t have to mow the grass. Gilchrist hopes the county officials will see the big picture. “You can power the entire Fauquier County (currently) with solar on less than 2% of the land,” he said. If the county also invests in rooftop solar, it would need only 1% of the land. But others think that data centers have to be part of the equation. The Sierra Club just sent a letter to officials In Fairfax County, which has 45 data center buildings, asking them to take power needs into consideration when approving the projects. “It’s the responsibility of the local governments to site these things with the energy in mind,” said Ann Bennett, land-use chair of the Sierra Club’s Great Falls group, who signed the letter. Among other things, her organization asks that data centers use solar and wind power with battery storage for 50% of their power needs. Main, also of the Sierra Club, said local officials have to understand that the state and Dominion are moving toward renewable energy. “You’ve got to take stock of how is this (data center) energy going to be produced? And how do we make sure that it’s renewable energy?” she asks. “And if you’re not willing to put it in Fauquier County, where do you think it’s gonna be?” Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com

Sheriff’s Office seizes 23 roosters, hens from Sumerduck home in cockfighting investigation By Hunter Savery
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office seized 23 roosters and hens from a Sumerduck residence in connection with an investigation into suspected cockfighting, according to court documents. Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputy initially searched the property back in June based on a complaint filed by an off-duty police officer from another jurisdiction. The off-duty officer visited the house, located in the 14500 block of Snake Castle Road in Sumerduck, in response to a Facebook ad offering a free German Shepherd. The officer found the dog with a rope tied around its neck that was embedded in the dog’s flesh. When removed, the rope exposed a 1-inch wound that was possibly infected, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in Fauquier County Circuit Court. The officer adopted the dog and sought veterinary treatment for her while also contacting the sheriff’s office regarding his suspicions about possible animal abuse. On Wednesday, July 19, Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputies seized seven roosters, 14 pullets, two hens, six leg ties and one cellphone following a search of the property, according to the affidavit. Pullets are hens that are under
1 year old and too young to lay eggs. The case remains under investigation, and no charges have been filed, according to Jeffery Long, a sheriff’s office spokesman. The seizure of the animals followed two earlier visits by a Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputy. While conducting an initial animal welfare check on Monday, June 19, a deputy observed multiple gamecocks and signs that they were being conditioned for fighting. Some of the roosters’ combs had been removed, and others had their spurs removed or sharpened, practices common in cockfighting, the affidavit said. Removing combs, earlobes and waddles is considered a medical treatment and would be painful for the birds without anesthesia, the affidavit said. The deputy also observed a peahen kept near the roosters. Peacocks and hens are commonly kept near gamecocks because they release pheromones that cause roosters to become aggressive, the affidavit said. The detective also observed a pitbull and several roosters held in separate cages without food or water, the affidavit said. Animal fighting is a class 6 felony in Virginia and carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $2,500. Reach Hunter Savery at hsavery@fauquier.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
How our fight over garbage became national news It was a squabble between neighbors over garbage. Then, the media twisted the story to fit a never-ending narrative: A conservative couple harasses two gay men who own a small-town restaurant. It is patently false, but you’d never know that reading the Washington Post. In 2019, we moved to the Plains and made it our home. We loved our new community and enjoyed patronizing the local businesses, including our neighbors The Front Porch. We would eat there weekly, often multiple times, hosting clients, ordering takeout and eating in. Things changed in 2021. Though we held different opinions on politics, our relationship with the owners and their staff was cordial. What we thought was friendly became something else entirely. One day, our neighbors moved their trash next to our windows. The
stench in and around our office and home was at times unbearable, and rodents began showing up. Until that day, their trash had been stored across the street in a dumpster area. We approached the restaurant’s general manager to offer a compromise, allowing them to put a dumpster in two of our parking spaces. Within 48 hours, they instead served us no trespassing orders, permanently banning us from their property. Then the national media stepped in, taking our neighborly trash dispute to a new level. It was now about politics. They slandered our names with a factually inaccurate story, making it a sensationalized hit-piece on our family. (Editor’s note: The Washington Post issued a statement saying it stands by its reporting.) Since the article was published, we’ve been overwhelmingly ha-
rassed, our lives have been threatened; our family doxxed; and our businesses have been falsely spammed with thousands of negative reviews, emails, voicemails and hate letters. The national media would rather drive clicks than tell the truth; this is an argument about trash. Conservative families and businesses have often been a target for media clickbait, and now our family is a recipient of this wave of hatred. This story has caused hate to pour in our direction because our beliefs and our views were grossly misrepresented. When we met with the reporter, it felt less like an interview and more like a cross examination, forcing us to defend ourselves against accusations that fit the reporter’s narrative rather than the truth of the matter. We blame the Washington Post for putting us
in a dangerous position. We do, however, share with our neighbors a hope that our community will move beyond this negative narrative around what should have remained a neighborly dispute over trash. We are not defined by politics, but instead defined by how we treat those in our communities. After years of patronage and support of our community businesses, we believe that we have been good neighbors and hope that all of those who have interacted with us feel the same. This story has created many challenges in our day-to-day life in The Plains community. We hope that each of you reading this will take the time to get to know us for who we are, not who the Washington Post portrayed us as. MIKE AND MELISSA WASHER The Plains

The Plains couple deny anti-gay bias in their dispute with the Front Porch restaurant THE PLAINS, from page 4 The story noted William Waybourn, who owns the restaurant with his husband, Craig Spaulding, has been a gay activist for more than 30 years, while the Washers are active in conservative politics. As the dispute escalated, the Washers took legal action seeking to challenge a permit that allows the Front Porch to operate in The Plains without any set amount of off-street parking. The Plains Board of Zoning Appeals voted narrowly in May to uphold an earlier ruling, finding the restaurant meets its permit’s parking requirement. In June, the Washers filed a lawsuit in Fauquier County Circuit Court to overturn the ruling. If the lawsuit succeeds, it could force the restaurant
to shut down, Waybourn said. He also said he has put The Front Porch up for sale. In the aftermath of the Post story, Waybourn said he was prepared for an angry response and even hired armed security in case the restaurant was faced with anti-gay protesters. Instead, Waybourn said he and his staff were overwhelmed with customers and supportive messages. In their letter, the Washers said they have been targeted by a flood of hate since the controversy went national. “Since the article was published, we’ve been overwhelmingly harassed; our lives have been threatened; our family doxxed; and our businesses have been falsely spammed with thousands of negative reviews, emails, voicemails and hate letters,” the Washers wrote.
A spokesperson for the Washington Post said in an email: “We have no comment on the letter but stand by the reporting in the article.” Reached for comment, Waybourn said he believed the dispute was about more than garbage. The Post story included security video of Mike Washer tossing a dead rat near the restaurant, an act for which Washer was charged with a misdemeanor that was later dismissed. Washer told the Post he believed the rat had been tossed onto his property by someone at the restaurant. “Here are some facts — their lawsuit doesn’t mention trash,” Waybourn said. “I have emails from the health department advising us that the location of our trash was appropriate and that we didn’t have a rodent problem. ...The rat video speaks for itself.”

DOYLE’S JOURNEY TAKES HIM TO NATS PARK THE DOYLE FILE
PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE COLORADO ROCKIES
Called up to the Colorado Rockies in late April, Brenton Doyle, 25, is the third Fauquier County product to play major league baseball. Preceding him were Calverton High’s Bud Metheny (New York Yankees, 1943-46) and former Fauquier High pitcher Mike Duvall (Minnesota/Tampa Bay, 1998-2001). Jud “Boojum” Wilson of Remington was a Negro League great from 1923-45 and is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Doyle is generating buzz as a possible Gold Glove center fielder.
Former Kettle Run star is Colorado Rockies’ starting center fielder By Matthew Proctor
like a proud father type thing just to see how hard he’s worked and see how far he’s come and to see it all paying off for now,” said Thorpe.
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Runners stood on second and third when Colorado Rockies rookie center fielder Brenton Doyle slapped a 92 mile per hour fastball on the outer edge back up the middle, extending the Colorado Rockies’ lead to 7-1 over the host Washington Nationals. As he stood on first base at Nationals Park, the 2016 Kettle Run High graduate processed his moment as a hometown anti-hero. “I came to a lot of Nationals’ games growing up, so playing here is very surreal, and it’s honestly a dream come true,” said Doyle, who had 60 family members and friends in the stands for much of last week’s three-game series July 24-26. “That was a big hit and it scored a run. I heard all my fans out in center field. I had fans all around, but most of them were out in center field. And to hear them from first base or second base, from center field is pretty cool.” Doyle made his major league debut on April 24 as the third man from Fauquier County to play Major League Baseball. A highly skilled center fielder with speed and an elite throwing arm, the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder is being talked about as a candidate for a Gold Glove. Doyle has played 73 games since his call up and is hitting .195 with seven homers and 14 stolen bases. Almost everything he does is a first. Doyle is the first Kettle Run grad to play a major pro sport. He is the first
Road to the majors
Fauquier County player to play major league baseball since former Fauquier High pitcher Mike Duvall of Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2001. The enormity of his success is not lost on him. “A guy in my position coming from Kettle Run, going to a small Division-II school, honestly, if you look at the data, I’m not really supposed to be here,” said Doyle, who attended Shepherd College in Shepherdstown, W.Va. “So, it’s super cool for me to be here and be an inspiration to a lot of the kids in small cities or going to small colleges to keep pushing. It can work out.” Mom Andrea Doyle said watching her son in Nats Park last week felt like the completion of a journey. “A lot of them watched him from when he first started Little League. So, from Little League all the way through college, a lot of the support was there. It was very heartwarming,” Andrea Doyle said. Also attending the series was Kettle Run baseball coach Ty Thorpe. “It’s pretty cool, man. It’s almost
In three seasons at Shepherd, Doyle hit .380 with 32 home runs, 149 runs batted in and 52 stolen bases. Following his junior season in 2019, Doyle was selected in the fourth round with the 129th overall pick. Doyle debuted for the Grand Junction Rockies in 2019, hitting .383 in 51 games. Like many minor leaguers, his career was derailed and dealt a hardship in 2020 when all minor league seasons were canceled. Doyle worked out on his own in Gainesville, then returned in 2021 playing for Spokane, the Rockies’ A+ affiliate; he crushed 16 home runs in 97 games. In 2022 Doyle kept up his power-speed profile with 23 home runs and 23 steals in 123 games for Class AA Hartford before a promotion to Class AAA Albuquerque, where he hit .389 to put himself on the cusp of the big leagues. After just 12 games at AAA in March and April this season, the Rockies promoted Doyle. His mom said Brenton called her and told him his Albuquerque manager had scratched him from the lineup. “I was thinking, ‘Scratched in the lineup? Are you okay, something happened?’ And he just mentioned he’s getting flown out to Cleveland to join the club,” she said.
-Family man: Is married to Shelby Rose Doyle. Daughter is Braelynn Marie. They live in Gainesville in the offseason. -Minor league career: Doyle played 51 games in the Rookie league in Grand Junction (Colo.) in 2019; 97 games in A+ in Spokane (Wash.) in 2021; 123 games in AA in Hartford (Conn.) in 2022; 21 games in AAA in Albuquerque (N.M.) from 2022-23. -MLB debut: April 24 in Cleveland. He finished 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. -Major milestones: First hit, double, RBI and stolen base came on April 25 in Cleveland. First home run on May 7 at New York Mets. -Pregame meal: “I like my chicken and rice.” -Other routines: “I like to take a little caffeine hit and listen to music, get me pumped up for the game. In the minor leagues, you have to be taking a little bit more caffeine. You kind of get naturally pumped up being up here and just the atmospheres and stuff, you don’t need too much behind it.” -Batting practice routine: “It depends how it’s going. Swing’s feeling good, I won’t try to overdo it.” -Playing center field in Coors Field: “Coors definitely has its challenges. The gaps there are pretty big, outfield’s pretty big. Got a lot more ground to cover. Our AAA field in Albuquerque is pretty similar. It’s a very big outfield. So it’s a good little stepping stool to really kind of realize what you’re up for when you get to Coors.” “We’re both excited on the phone, yelling and screaming. It was the best news ever. Working so hard, it was the call he’s been waiting for, and I was lucky enough to be able to go to Cleveland and watch his debut.” Doyle debuted on April 24, going 0-for-3, then went 3-for-4 a day later.
Contributing in the field
Doyle, who often makes highlight reels catches, is still developing his skill set. He has hit well in stretches, including two homers against the Cincinnati Reds on May 15. Rockies manager Bud Black said Doyle is still figuring out MLB pitching. “It’s a development. But he’s a great worker,” Black said. “I think the main thing is just more consistent contact, trying to cut down his strikeout rate, his chase rate outside of the strike zone, and he’s learning firsthand against some very good pitchers. But I think overall, he’s handling himself very well both mentally and physically.” Doyle’s glove was elite from the beginning. He’s tied for seventh in the league with seven Outs Above Average, a metric of fielding ability See DOYLE, page 13

HANDICAPPING THE LOCAL GOLF THREESOMES FAUQUIER GOLF PREVIEW
Falcons hoping to make some headlines when full lineup returns By Peter Brewington
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Wanna be a high school golf coach? Prepare for some early season headaches. Where do we begin? Players on vacation. A season that starts extremely early. Lots of new golfers learning the game. Extreme heat canceling practice. Welcome to the life of Fauquier High second year coach Danny Shaw. “I have some issues right now. The unfortunate thing about this season is that it occurs in the middle of vacation time,” said Shaw. Senior Wyatt Keith is the Falcons’ top golfer. Keith had some great matches last year and climbed to No. 1 on the depth chart. “He’s capable of high play. He’s calm and is able to move on from a tough spot and get out of it,” Shaw said. Mason Markell, a junior, had the most consistent and lowest scores last year. He’s been on vacation at

Sam Roteman, a junior, is also vacationing, as is sophomore Max Connelly, who is a member at Fauquier Springs and has a chance to contribute, Shaw said. Then there’s sophomore Aidan Brennan, an up-and-coming player who hurt his wrist in basketball camp and is working his way back. With Markell, Roteman, Brennan and Connelly on board before the end of August, the Falcons could catch a huge boost. “I hope we can gain points in mid to late season,” said Shaw, noting he supports family time in the summer and understands why “It leaves me in position of giving people a shot to play and see if they’re ready,” said Shaw.

Special to the Fauquier Times
The always-talented Kettle Run golf team is swinging for the fences this year. A move down to Class 3 has coach Chris Ferrell and his veteran Cougars excited for another chance to meet their long-stated goal of making the state tournament as a team. “It’s been very tough to get there in the 4A class because those Loudoun County teams are historically very, very strong,” said Ferrell, whose program has won six straight Class 4 Northwestern District titles. With five returning players, all of whom can shoot below 80, the Cougars open their season with confidence that they can move past the regional round in late September and into states this year. “We’ve never made states as a
team before, and this year our chances have really been raised in trying to attain that goal,” said Ferrell. The Cougars have a formidable lineup, highlighted by No. 1 Jack Wargo, a junior who qualified for the state tournament last year as an individual player. “Jack drives the ball really well. At the state tournament last year he only missed one or two fairways that round. His irons are also a real strength. He’s good on the approach,” Ferrell said. No. 2 Brian Slaughter, a senior, is equally imposing. “Brian was also right there in the thick of many tournaments last year and will also get into the mid-seventies,” said Ferrell. “He’s so consistent. He hits the ball very straight and has no part of his game that’s weak. He’s an all-around golfer.” See COUGARS, page 13
LIBERTY GOLF PREVIEW
Brothers Liam and Eli Collins propel resurgent Eagles By Peter Brewington
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
The rejuvenation of the Liberty High golf program is expected to continue in 2023. The Eagles’ top golfers are senior Liam Collins and his younger brother Eli. Eighteen other players are also part of the program, giving the Eagles a foundation for the present and future. Liam Collins has been with the program all four years Montana Gleason and Rusty Markley have been co-coaches. “Liam is our first freshman to senior kid,” said Gleason, 24, a former Liberty golfer, like Markley, 25, who have sacrificed their time to help the program get going again. “Liam is becoming a star. His maturity and leadership are really impressive. He’s honestly everything a coach could want,” said Markley. The older Collins is frequently in the 70s and low 80s and is focused on playing college golf, although he also plays baseball. “Mentally he does not get frustrated with bad
shots. He gives golf the respect it deserves,” Markley said. “Consistency has come with that. He’s shown a lot of personal growth on and off the course.” As he’s done in early years, Liam has helped recruit new golfers to the program and often serves as an assistant coach in practice. An impressive season is also expected from Eli Collins. Eli, who was perhaps 5-foot-6 last year, is now about 5-8 thanks to a growth spurt. The sophomore can shoot scores similar to Liam, and recently beat him by a few shots in a practice round. Eli played in the No. 3 slot as a freshman and is now at No. 2. Travis Ferguson will play as the No. 3 golfer. He was at No. 6 last year. Like Eli Collins, Ferguson has also grown significantly since last year and is a vital part of the team. The coaches say he can shoot in the 80s and gives the squad a strong No. 3 player and leader. See EAGLES, page 13

Doyle’s defense has been his calling card DOYLE, from page 11 that accounts for the number and difficulty of plays made compared to others. Additionally, with an average throw of 95.3-mph and sprint speed of 29.8 feet per second, Doyle has the strongest arm and the fastest sprint speed among all center fielders. “The coaching staff and I have been pleased with how he’s handled these first three months defensively. He’s helped us win games with his glove and his arm on defense. So that’s great to see,” Black said. Doyle keeps having success, which comes from hard work. On Monday, he threw out San Diego Padre superstar and former Nat
Juan Soto at home plate. On May 7 in New York, Doyle took a 90-mph cutter from Mets’ pitcher Tommy Hunter 385 feet the other way to right field for his first career home run. “I got my first homer out of the way. Pretty crazy feeling, you watch it on TV and you dream of it and to have it happen is really awesome,” said Doyle, adding that he was able to retrieve and keep the ball as it ricocheted back into the outfield. “Competition here is the top level in the world, so it’s more mental than it is actually physical. You’re going to fail a little bit more than you would in the minors, and you got to realize and try to find ways to cope and deal with those failures,” he said.
Ferguson is Eagles’ No. 3 golfer EAGLES, from page 12 “Travis has been with us since he was an eighth grader. He takes lessons out at Spot 29 driving range near New Baltimore,” Markley said. “One thing about Liam, Eli and Travis is that we can use all three as assistant coaches helping the other kids. They do it naturally and can help with drills,” Gleason said. About 10 players are contending for the No. 4, 5 and 6 slots. Junior J.T. Utterback, senior Devon Hash and junior R.C. Sturgeon are probably the leaders for those spots. “J.T. is the most consistent. He keeps the ball moving and does not try to hit home run shots. Devon is a wild card. He has power but needs to maintain focus. R.C. is also very solid,” Gleason said. Two other key contributors figure to be Amity Vincent and Caitlyn Pettigrew, who plan to join the team later due to family vacations. Other players the coaches mentioned are junior Ben Michnya, freshman Jackson Carder, freshman Preston Lamot, freshman Ryan Parry, senior Zach
Demers and senior Hayden Hardcastle. As co-coaches, Markley and Gleason have fueled a burst of energy in the program, devoting much of their free time to helping the players grow. Gleason works as a developer for a data company in McLean, and leaves early to coach at Fauquier Springs Country Club, where the team meets at 3 p.m. to practice. Markley is a substitute teacher in Fauquier County. “It makes it easy to be at practice. As soon as the bell rings I can go,” he said. Markley recently accepted a Peace Corps posting beginning in October. “I’ll be teaching for 27 months in Cambodia. I won’t see a golf club over there. I’m looking forward to this season with the kids before I go,” he said. Liberty is not competing against its county rivals anymore. Six-time defending district champion Kettle Run, as well as Fauquier, are now in Class 3, with Liberty remaining in Class 4. The coaches say their players don’t mind “It’s a nice thing to not be compared to the other schools in the county. It makes it easier for our kids mentally,” said Gleason, who views Handley and James Wood as the top two teams in the district now.
Keith, Markell, Roteman look like FHS stalwarts FALCONS, from page 12 Fauquier has other strong players, like senior Andrew Lerudis at No. 2. “He moved in from the west last year and this is his second year. He fits in well and is a super kid who puts in the work,” Shaw said. Slotted as No. 3 for now is junior A.J. Lamper, a Falcon baseball player who takes his golf seriously. “A.J. works hard, he’s a guy that wants it. He’s upset if he does not do well,” said Shaw, who says Lamper has a good swing and has gotten taller. “He started last year. Now he’s in love with the sport.” Senior Chase Leazer, who plays football, is playing in the No. 4 slot. “He’s knocked it out of the park so far. I hope he can do what he did in practice on the course,” said Shaw, who is optimistic Leazer can play both sports this fall. With some key golfers missing, Fauquier’s lineup has seniors Talon Ritenour and Joey Renzi also playing. “I don’t know how they’ll do with the first-time pressure and people watching them. Those early 18-hole matches in the heat can be very draining since they are walking,” Shaw said.

Says Brenton Doyle of his success, “It’s super cool for me to be here and be an inspiration to a lot of the kids in small cities or going to small colleges to keep pushing. It can work out.”
Shaw, who teaches earth science and geology at FHS, was recruited for the job at the beginning of the 2022 season when another science teacher slated to coach, Jonathan Kraut, cited a time commitment and stepped away. “They asked me and said that I would be a good fit. My kids are older and I had more time,” said Shaw, who agreed on short notice. Now the 1991 Fauquier High graduate and the father of three, including FHS state high jump champion Wyatt Shaw, is trying to build a winner. Fauquier finished fourth in the Northwestern District last year. Now with a move to smaller Class 3, Shaw thinks his team will benefit. “We have some new teams in the mix. We were in the middle last year. We were not the worst, not the best. This year we’ll dive in and see how it goes,” Shaw said. The Falcons are entering the season with three potential strong contributors on vacation and another injured. All could be in the lineup before too long. “I’m looking forward to this season. Hopefully we’ll make some headlines,” Shaw said.

Wargo, Slaughter, Carver, Roeber lead Cougars COUGARS, from page 12 Playing in the No. 3 slot is Wyatt Carver, a rising senior. Carver is one of several players Kettle Run needs to shine to make a run at the state tournament. “Wyatt was on the cut line last year, playing in some tournaments and missing others, but he’s been playing a bunch over the summer and has made great improvements to his game. He will be right in the thick of our lineup,” Ferrell said. Carver’s greatest strength is his length, combined with a summer of hard work. “He’s got the golf bug right now. He’s playing a boatload of golf, he’s out at the club every day this summer playing at least 18 holes a day,” said Ferrell. Rounding out the lineup will be seniors Case Roeber and Jaxson Ramage at the No. 4 and No. 5 slots, with freshman Nate Fortune and senior Nic Atkins competing for the sixth tournament spot. Kettle Run got off to a dominant start in Monday’s opening meet and sent a message against their
new Northwestern District Class 3 opponents, posting a total score of 300, 25 lower than their closest competitor, Meridian. Slaughter and Roeber tied for the low round, each shooting 74, with Wargo also going low with a 75 and Ramage posting an impressive 77. Carver’s 79 and Fortune’s 98 did not score. “We haven’t had this much depth and been this developed in a long time, so that’s why I’m so excited for it,” said Ferrell. “We’re in a really good position. We have a lot of upperclassmen who know what’s expected of them, who don’t need to learn the ropes but are ready to just jump right in.” In the coming weeks, the Cougars will play in a wider range of tournaments to test themselves, including the Curly Licklider Memorial and the George Bockman Golf Tournament. “We want to play a lot of the teams from our region as well, to see how we’ll be stacked up against at regionals and use it as a measuring stick,” said Ferrell. “We’re trying to have them set goals for themselves personally so that they’re all peaking at the right time for regionals.”

Elsie Agnes Brown February 28, 1926 - July 13, 2023 Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Elsie Agnes "Aggie" Brown has passed; her life spanned two and a half years short of a century. She was born before the Great Depression on a farm in Broad Run, Virginia to William Clinton Brown and wife Elsie Rebecca Brown nee Long. She attended Pilgrim's Rest Primary School in Broad Run, Virginia and graduated from Rosenwald High School, Warrenton Virginia during the later years of World War II. For many years, she worked as a house cleaner but served many roles and shared her talents with her family, church and community. Elsie's faith was very important to her. It sustained her throughout her life until the end. She was a devout and active member of Second Mount Morris Primitive Baptist Church and over the years she served as the secretary, sang in the choir and was a member of the usher board. A talented and resourceful seamstress, Elsie sewed for her family beginning as a preteen. In later years, doing clothing alterations was a second career. She shared a story about learning to sew by watching an aunt: One Easter when she did not have a dress for church she altered a cousin's dress and surprised her family on Easter morning. Everyone asked, "Who fixed that dress?" She proudly responded "I did!" She also made and donated children's clothing to charitable organizations in and outside the US. Memories are fresh of her surrounded by colorful material, McCall's and Butterick patterns and sitting behind her Singer sewing machine threading the bobbin and "whipping up a dress". Elsie made MANY more items, including stuffed animals, outerwear, quilts, curtains, formal dresses, and hats; if social media existed 40 years ago, she'd have a large following admiring her skills! She was an excellent cook. Fruit and vegetables harvested from our garden or foraged were preserved into jams or canned to be eaten in winter. Sunday dinner menu would include everything from fried chicken, baked mac and cheese, "greens", homemade rolls and desserts. She didn't like to eat much fish, but she'd scale, filet and fry it so others could enjoy it. She was also known to collaborate with family members in making "Dandelion Wine"; it was the kids' job to pick the dandelions. In addition to being a seamstress and crafter, Elsie made lovely floral arrangements. She would take flowers she grew and arrange mini bouquets in thrifted tea cups, vases or bottles. Inexpensive "Barbie-like" dolls would have a custom wardrobe that outshone any store bought ones. Her creations were very popular at schools and local fundraisers in the 1970's and 1980's. She shared her crafting skills with children in her charge. She was a recorder of church history, family events and daily observations. She composed poems and made stories with children she babysat. In retirement, she read voraciously, enjoyed puzzle books and jigsaw puzzles, watched the "soaps", "Wheel of Fortune", "Jeopardy" and Hallmark Christmas movies. She enjoyed a good cup of coffee, ice cream and sitting in nature watching the birds and wildlife. Elsie is predeceased by her eldest daughter Sandra Taylor Denny and one grandson Gregory Earl Denny. She is survived by her two daughters, six grandchildren, and a host of great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews. She did not want any services so we are honoring those wishes. If you wish to honor her memory, please consider making a donation to your favorite charity in her name. Rest in Peace Momma. We will forever admire your tenacity and quiet strength. We miss and love you. Online condolences may be expressed at moserfuneralhome.com. Obituaries

Charles "Roger" Houston Charles "Roger" Houston, age 72, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at UVA Culpeper Hospital. He was born on October 17, 1950 in Brevard, North Carolina, to the late Carl and Ruby Houston. Roger graduated from Brentsville District High School in June of 1969 and married the love of his life, Ina Mae Mullins (Houston), the following month. He began his career at IBM as a Lab Technician in 1970 and retired 41 years later as an Aerospace Process Engineer from BAE Systems. During those years Roger and his wife welcomed three children, two granddaughters and two great-grandsons. Roger was an inspiration to all who knew him and was loved and admired by many. He was an example of a man driven by his faith in God. His legacy will live on forever through the many stories and memories of those who had the opportunity to know him. Roger will be remembered for his love of many things; classic trucks & cars and trips to Carlisle for car shows, the outdoors, making sure his bird feeders were always full, trout fishing, camping and keeping his silver Ford Ranger meticulously clean. He loved his wife Ina's home cooked meals and was always up for a crab leg feast. Roger was a hardworking man who always enjoyed projects around the house, keeping his yard mowed and the "outdoor shelter" looking nice for the many family gatherings and cookouts that were held there. Out of all the things Roger loved, anyone who knew him knew that he loved his wife, family and dog "Boobie" most of all. Roger is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Ina Houston of Culpeper, VA; three children, Darin Houston & his wife Jennifer of Woodbridge, VA, Tammy Adams & her husband Tony of Bealeton, VA, and Tim Houston of Culpeper, VA; three brothers, Terry Houston & his wife Anita of Culpeper, VA, Gerry Houston & his wife Teresa of Hickory, NC and Dale Houston & his wife Marlys also of Culpeper; one sister, Opal Dodgins of Otto, NC; two granddaughters, Amanda Koglin & her husband Chris of Culpeper, VA and Paige Adams also of Bealeton; two great-grandsons Preston & Liam; and two special nephews, Jim & Scott McClure. In addition to his parents, Carl & Ruby Houston, Roger is preceded in death by four siblings, Neville Houston, Shirley McClure, Pearl Houston and Marion Dendy; and a special nephew, Bryan McClure. The family received visitors on Monday, July 31, 2023 from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA.

Edgar "Dooney" W. Messick, Jr. of Midland, VA, passed away peacefully on his beautiful farm home in Midland, VA on July 25, 2023. Dooney, as he was known by most, was born on February 13, 1927, in Midland and was one of nine children born and raised on the family farm. The person most dear to Dooney was his beloved wife, Betty Ann (Kane). Betty & Dooney married in 1950 after he returned from Korea from his voluntary U.S. Army rotation. Soon after, they purchased the farm adjacent to where he was born and together, they ran a successful dairying operation for over 50 years. They had an amazing, loving marriage that lasted almost 70 years until Betty passed in 2019. Farming was his passion, as was his love of the land that has been in his family for over a century. He greatly enjoyed his garden, in which he planted enough vegetables so that all could enjoy. Dooney was always thinking of others and put their happiness first. Another joy of his was baseball, which he played in high school as well as watching the Senators & Nationals play on TV throughout the years. He was blessed to be able to do a lot of travelling in retirement with his wife, often accompanied by their friends, that encompassed most of the U.S. and a few places overseas. In addition to their love of travel, he and Betty also enjoyed listening to country and bluegrass music. A private interment was held on July 28, 2023 at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Bealeton for family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Hospice of the Piedmont and/or the Foundation Fighting Blindness

I miss the America I grew up in! WINTERTIME WARMTH WITH GRAVE BLANKETS A grave blanket is a large, evergreen arrangement that is used to cover and decorate a grave, a tradition that was brought to the west by Scandinavian settlers. Although they are made from greenery rather than textiles, the materials are woven together like a blanket. They can be used year-round but are especially popular during the holidays and over the winter when they help brighten the barren landscape. They are made from evergreen boughs with adornments like pinecones, baby’s breath, berries, and ribbons. You can make your own grave blanket or they can be purchased from a florist. Grave blankets offer a way to decorate a grave and stay connected to your deceased loved one throughout the year. When you have experienced the loss of a loved one, you can trust MOSER FUNERAL HOME to guide you through the process of honoring their life. Our staff is experienced in a variety of funeral services and can help you celebrate your loved one no matter your religion, culture, or budget.
