Fauquier County classrooms will be ‘cellphone free’ this fall
Erin Mann, owner of Erin’s Elderberries and The Kitchen at Vint Hill, was selected to receive the 2024 “Spirit of Fauquier” Award by Fauquier Times readers. She was recognized at a luncheon on Aug. 1 at Airlie Conference Center in Warrenton.

Fauquier County Public Schools students — and teachers — will be returning to “cellphone-free” classrooms when they head back to school this month. The schools are implementing new policies that include cellphone-free instructional spaces this school year, officials announced in an Aug. 2 email to families. The move follows an executive order issued by Gov. Glenn Youngkin in July, requiring schools to update their cellphone use policies by January. The governor tasked the Virginia Department of Education with creating guidance for schools this fall, but many communities across the state have already been restricting cellphones — and screen time — in classrooms. Fauquier County schools already required all personal electronic devices, including cellphones, to be turned off during class, unless a teacher or staff member specifically allowed them to be used to complete classroom assignments.

Court sides with citizens’ group in lawsuit over data center Citizens for Fauquier County, public will get another chance to obtain emails between Amazon, Warrenton officials By Cher Muzyk Staff Writer
A Fauquier County group’s effort to obtain more than 3,000 emails — exchanged between Warrenton officials and Amazon about a controversial data center that the town council approved in 2023 — won a victory last week when the Virginia Court of Appeals ruled in the group’s favor. In an opinion written by Judge Stuart A. Raphael, the appeals court reversed an earlier decision by the Fauquier County Circuit Court that dismissed the lawsuit filed by Citizens for Fauquier County in 2022. As a result, the nonprofit — and the public — will get a second chance to obtain the emails. In 2022, the nonprofit submitted two public records requests to the town, seeking to review emails pertaining to Amazon’s application to build a data center in Warrenton. The town produced some but withheld 3,150 records, asserting that the correspondence exemption in the Virginia Freedom of Information Act applied to both its mayor and town manager.

Old Bust Head will mark 10 years in style with a beach party A decade ago, when Old Bust Head Brewing Co. launched as Fauquier County’s very first brewery, Julie and Ike Broaddus weren’t really thinking about having a large tap room and beer garden, or about hosting big public events that would garner a large and loyal following of local beer drinkers. Their original vision was a brewery that focused primarily on packaged beer for sale to retailers. The first craft beer was poured in Vint Hill in February of 2014 but Old Bust Head’s iconic taproom didn’t open until the end of that summer. “Our main plan was distribution and production,” said Julie Broaddus, who now solely leads the woman-owned business. “It turned out the tap room was an incredible hit.” Since its launch, the beer garden has doubled in size and the outdoor space added a lawn with its own mini-tap house. Drink and food offerings have also grown. The brewery now offers its own hard cider and seltzer and pours Virginia wines. Pizza lovers can scan a QR code at the brewery for a delivery from Jack Leg Pizza two doors over. Events filled with enthusiastic beer drinkers have become the norm.

When Julie and Ike Broaddus launched Old Bust Head Brewing Co. in Vint Hill in 2014 it was Fauquier County’s first brewery.
“It just makes life so much more fun,” Broaddus said. “We have expanded so much over the years.” Back at the start, the Broadduses were in transition. They had begun the sale of their real estate company a few years before and had thrown
themselves into public service and volunteerism. The redevelopment of Vint Hill, once a secret army base loaded with spy game history, was a central part of their work. Julie Broaddus worked as a member of the board of Citizens For Fauquier County to shed light on Vint Hill’s buildings and their historic role in military espionage. Ike Broaddus served on the Vint Hill Economic Development Authority and was deeply involved in building strategies aimed at reimagining the former base. They were considering launching their own new business enterprise and lots of ideas were being tossed around. The Broadduses thought about what was important to them. “We wanted to do something with authentic buildings and history in Fauquier Coun-
ty,” Julie Broaddus said. That’s when her husband raised an idea pitched to him by a brewer who was looking for a partner to open a brewery in Vint Hill. “Ike said, ‘this guy came in and he wanted to open a brewery. Maybe we should be his partner?’” Julie Broaddus said. They teamed up with Charles Kling, a chemical engineer who had worked for Abita Brewing Company in Louisiana and served as Old Bust Head’s first brewmaster, and the Broadduses bought a warehouse to house the brewery in Vint Hill. When they removed the ceiling, they discovered attractive wood beams and began to envision the tap room. Over the decade, the Broaddases and Old Bust Head Brewing Company have focused on building community, both around the brewery in Vint
Hill, where they have redeveloped more buildings for retail businesses, and in the growing brewing community in Fauquier County, which now has several breweries. A couple were even founded by former Old Bust Head employees and friends. “Breweries are intended to build community,” Julie Broaddus said. “Wineries attract people to Fauquier’s countryside. We are building communities in our towns and neighborhoods. That was our intention here.” So with the 10th anniversary coming up this weekend, Old Bust Head is going all out with a huge beach party. There will be a sand bar where customers can kick off their shoes and get a beer, beach volleyball, tiki bars, live music, drink specials and other fun activities, like goat yoga, over the three-day celebration this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. “I wasn’t surprised when Julie told me we’re bringing in two tons of sand to build a “sand bar” for our 10th Anniversary — to her it is all fun” Ike Broaddus said. “The taproom is where she focuses her creativity and energy. Over the years, she’s turned the bar into an illuminated Game of Thrones ice wall, the taproom into Hogwart’s Great Hall, and the overhang into a German-style Christmas market.” As part of the anniversary celebration, the brewery commissioned an artist to make a huge 120-foot mural on its exterior back wall. The mural will feature tributes to its beer and the old army base’s signal station and espionage history. It will also feature a giant native Eastern Red Cedar, and local wildlife and rural scenes. That includes, of course, the breweries iconic goat, their symbol of rural Fauquier and fun.

Court sides with citizens’ group in lawsuit over data center LAWSUIT, from page 2 The exemption permits withholding the “working papers and correspondence of … the mayor or chief executive officer of any political subdivision.” The appeals court decision turned on whether the “or” in the language of the exemption means “or,” or, whether the “or” means “and.” The three-judge panel concluded that “or” means “or,” and the trial court was wrong when it allowed the town to withhold the emails by claiming the correspondence exemption applied to both the mayor and town manager. For purposes of the state’s Freedom of Information Act, Warrenton’s town manager falls under the category of “chief executive officer.” Previously, the town maintained that “working correspondence” from Mayor Carter Nevill and former town managers Brandie Schaeffer, Chris Martino and Tommy Cureton were all exempt under the law. Now, the case will head back to the circuit court. The ruling means that this time, the town may seek to apply the exemption to correspondence of either the mayor or the town manager, but not both. The ruling is significant for two reasons, according to Megan Rhyne, executive director of the Virginia Coalition for Open Government, which joined an amicus brief in the lawsuit filed by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

A rendering of the 220,000-square foot data center Amazon is planning to build in Warrenton. The facility, and how it was approved, has been a source of controversy since the Warrenton Town Council green-lighted the project in 2023. Piedmont Journalism Foundation, which owns the Fauquier Times, also joined that brief. It affirmed an earlier opinion by the Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council about whether a jurisdiction can withhold emails and correspondence from both a mayor and a town or city manager under the correspondence exemption. “It’s not breaking new ground. It’s putting us back to where we thought we were before, which is a good thing,” Rhyne said. Secondly, the court clarified that governments must explain their process for selecting a sample of correspondence for a judge to review when deciding whether the ex-
emption is being applied correctly, Rhyne said. Governments “already have all the records. (They) don’t get to decide what ones the judge gets to see to decide if (they) have followed the law,” Rhyne said. The town released 10 emails as a sample for the circuit court case but did not say how they were chosen. In the trial court and on appeal, the citizens group voiced concern about both the small number of sample emails and the judge’s decision to allow the town attorney to choose the sample, the opinion said. The appeals court agreed with the group, and its opinion sets out the rules the circuit court judge
must follow when reevaluating whether the emails withheld by the town are exempt from disclosure under the many exemptions allowed under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. The town said it will review the court’s opinion with its legal counsel and will respond when it has decided on a course of action, said Lyndie Paul, Town of Warrenton communications manager. Citizens for Fauquier County called the ruling “a positive step” that “should lead to more openness and transparency on the part of (the town) on this and other issues and avoid a dangerous precedent that would have undermined the effectiveness of the VFOIA in jurisdictions across the commonwealth,” stated Kevin Ramundo, the group’s president. In anticipation of winning on appeal, the citizens group asked that the town pay the attorney fees it has incurred, but it came up short on that request. “Without a doubt, (the group) has substantially prevailed in this appeal. But to award attorney fees now would be premature,” the opinion said. If the group establishes that the town denied its rights by improperly withholding public records and substantially prevails on that claim in the trial court, the group would be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees from the town.

“He had a bad virus that mimicked leukemia in the blood test results,” said Mann. The experience was traumatic for everyone as they feared the worst. Overwhelmed with gratitude and relief with Lucas’ diagnosis and recovery, the family returned home with a new respect for the fragility of life. Susceptible to allergies and with a weakened immune system, Lucas was unable to receive a flu shot that winter and was put on a steady course of Zyrtec, Benadryl and a nebulizer the following spring. It was during that difficult time that Mann thought about her grandparents’ Alabama farm and elderberry — a common, wild-growing berry used for medicinal purposes. “If it grew on their land, they found a use for it,” she said. “My father told me about the health benefits of elderberry. I went to the end of the inter-
net researching the benefits of that wild-growing berry.” She learned elderberry can boost the immune system and has antioxidant properties that can stave off illness. She decided she wanted to use it in addition to Lucas’ medications to see if it could strengthen his immune system in the absence of traditional vaccines. She tried making elderberry syrup for him. At her father’s recommendation, she sweetened the tart berry with honey rather than cane sugar, giving her syrup an additional boost. “It is well-known that local honey can help with allergies since the bees harvest from the plants that people are allergic to,” Mann said. “Within one year of taking 1 teaspoon of homemade elderberry syrup daily, Lucas no longer needed his nebulizer and was off both Benadryl and Zyrtec,” she said. A member of her local moms of preschoolers group suggested that Mann tell the group about her syrup.
The response was overwhelming. “I was going to give it away, and people wanted to pay me for it,” Mann said. “By word of mouth, I soon had over 100 orders with more coming in.” This led to a career change after a decade in the FBI. In 2019, Mann officially opened her business and began to sell at local farmers markets. During the Thanksgiving 2021 holiday, Mann found a brick-and-mortar building in Vint Hill to house her growing business. The doors opened on January 15, 2022. By May of that year, coffee service was added, and in June 2022, patrons could choose treats from an ice cream cooler. Mann continues to grow and respond to the requests of the community. She also mentors and supports small business owners and lines her shop shelves with handcrafted items from other local small businesses. In late 2023, in response to community, Mann opened The Kitchen at Vint Hill, the first rentable com-
mercial kitchen in Fauquier County. The goal of the kitchen is to help small in-home food businesses expand their reach in the community by giving them the opportunity to use space and equipment there. “Our community is embracing all the small businesses that operate from within the Kitchen at Vint Hill,” she said. The Kitchen at Vint Hill’s recognition as best new business, Mann said, means “that the ability to bring a needed resource to the community is met with the same support of customers who want to frequent those small businesses and see them all succeed.” Erin’s Elderberries and The Kitchen at Vint Hill can be found at 4257 Aiken Drive in Warrenton or online at www.erinselderberries.com.

Fauquier County classrooms will be ‘cellphone free’ this fall CELLPHONE FREE, from page 1 Though the school division hasn’t released specific guidelines yet, Superintendent Major Warner hinted that teachers wouldn’t have the option to allow students to use their mobile devices — or use their own — in classrooms this school year. “We’re starting with some lofty expectations. As adults, we have to model that behavior in our classroom, so nothing will undermine that in our classrooms,” Warner said during Monday’s Fauquier County School Board meeting. “We’ll start with some very clear guidelines for elementary, middle and high school.” Students will still be allowed to have their personal devices at school, though. Warner clarified that the shifting policy applies only to classrooms at this time. Students are allowed to have cellphones on campus, along with laptops, tablets and other personal devices, and can use them during designated “non-instructional” time at the discretion of the school principal and school transportation staff, according to the current Code of Student Conduct and Acceptable Use policy. Having a cellphone on campus is “a privilege,
not a right,” though, according to the code, and phones can be confiscated, or students could be banned from bringing their device to school. “We’ve been working on (how) we tackle the cellphone issue for most of the last year,” Warner told board members Monday, Aug. 5. “We did implement some additional disciplinary structure around cellphone use, not anticipating the governor’s order, and now we thought it would be best for FCPS to start the year with how we’d like our classrooms to look with regards to cellphones rather than wait for January.” Other Virginia school divisions have been increasingly restricting students’ phone use in recent months. Loudoun County Public Schools passed a new policy in June that bans elementary school students from using phones during the school day, and Fairfax County has considered piloting a phone storage program. Neighboring Prince William County also announced last week that “use of personal wireless communication devices (cell phones) will be prohibited during instructional periods” this school year, joining Stafford County and Fredericksburg City public schools in prohibiting cellphones in class.
Youngkin’s executive order directs his administration to “heed the call” of parents, public health professionals, educators and others by establishing cellphone-free policies and procedures for school divisions. The state education department has been holding listening sessions across the state on the issue before issuing guidance to divisions this fall, with some worried that teachers will be tasked with enforcing cellphone bans and others concerned about students having equitable access to technology. Fauquier County’s move comes as the school division rolls back its policy of having one laptop or tablet available for every student in a classroom to one for every two students in kindergarten through second grade this school year. The school division is expected to release further guidance for students and families before the first day of school on Wednesday, Aug. 14, Warner said Monday.

Legal Notice LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR AN UPDATE OF THE 100 PERCENT RENEWABLE ENERGY TARIFF, DESIGNATED RIDER TRG CASE NO. PUR-2024-00123 On July 1, 2024, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed an application (“Application”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to Code §§ 56-577 A 5 and 56-234 for an annual update of the Company’s voluntary 100 percent renewable energy tariff, designated Rider TRG. The Company began offering Rider TRG in July 2020. According to Dominion, as of May 31, 2024, approximately 5,751 residential customers, 123 commercial customers, and two industrial customers were enrolled in Rider TRG. In Case No. PUR-2019-00094, the Commission approved the Company’s initial Rider TRG filing, whereby participating customers can voluntarily elect to purchase 100 percent of their energy and capacity needs sourced from a portfolio of renewable energy resources owned or contracted for by the Company (“TRG Portfolio”) that meet the definition of renewable energy in Code § 56-576. In that case, the Commission approved the following resources for inclusion in the TRG Portfolio: the Scott, Whitehouse, and Woodland solar facilities; the Essex, Williamston Speight, HXOap, Cork Oak, and Sunflower solar power purchase agreements; the Gaston and Roanoke Rapids hydro facilities; and the Altavista, Hopewell, and Southampton biomass units. Customers electing to participate in Rider TRG pay a premium over standard service that is based on the prevailing market value of retail renewable energy, using the market value of renewable energy certificates (“RECs”) as a proxy for this premium (“Rider TRG Rate”). In Case No. PUR-2019-00094, the Commission approved a Rider TRG Rate of $3.98 per megawatt-hour (“MWh”), which was the weighted average price of the RECs produced by all of the resources in the approved TRG Portfolio. Dominion states that it calculates the current value of the RECs in the TRG Portfolio to be $29.49/MWh “based on the current market value of the portfolio RECs using the same historical transactions methodology that was approved as part of the original Rider TRG application.” In its Application, however, Dominion proposes increasing the Rider TRG Rate to $16.73/MWh. According to Dominion, the Company is proposing to increase Rider TRG by $16.73/MWh rather than $29.49/MWh “[t]o avoid the impact of a sharp increase in the rate while also ensuring the Rider TRG Rate is more aligned with the estimated current market value of the TRG Portfolio of RECs.” Dominion indicates that the proposed Rider TRG Rate of $16.73 reflects an incremental increase of 50 percent of the difference in the current market value of the TRG Portfolio RECs and the currently approved rate of $3.98/MWh. According to the Company, $16.73/MWh represents a charge over standard service, on an annualized basis, of 12.58% for participating customers. Dominion states that, for RECs that are retired on behalf of participating customers, “the Company will credit the applicable rate recovery mechanisms with the full market value of the RECs which are retired on behalf of TRG customers from the first day of the month at least 60 days from the Commission’s final order in this proceeding.” Dominion represents that it will achieve this through the proposed $16.73/MWh charge that is collected from participating customers, plus the difference of $12.76/MWh to be covered by the Company, to reach the full market value of $29.49/MWh. Dominion asserts that Rider TRG continues to be just, reasonable, and in the public interest and is designed to hold nonparticipating customers substantially harmless. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may approve a rate that is higher than the $16.73/MWh proposed by the Company, up to $29.49/MWh for Rider TRG. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for further details of the Company’s proposals.
The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Comment that, among other things, directed the Company to provide notice to the public and provided interested persons an opportunity to comment on the Company’s Application. To promote administrative efficiency and timely service of filings upon participants, the Commission has directed the electronic filing of testimony and pleadings, unless they contain confidential information, and required electronic service on parties to this proceeding.

Fauquier Times | August 7, 2024
Village Center project is too big
Warrenton can do better than proposed ‘Village Center’ project The scale, design and density of the proposed Warrenton Village Center housing development, with all the waivers demanded by the developer, violates the word and spirit of the Warrenton 2040 Comprehensive Plan. If approved by the Town Council, a four-story apartment building and a 450-space parking garage will tower over the neighborhood and surrounding homes. Traffic from the 386 dwelling units will become Northern Virginia-style gridlock, unsafe for the pedestrians who live there now and those who will move into the complex. Rather than creating an inviting mixed-use area with green space that welcomes the whole community, the Warrenton Village Center will become a fully-paved-over, densely populated roadblock to the rest of the town, imprisoning its own residents with clogged roads not built for high-density use and not improved in any way by the developer. Highland School — of which I am a proud alumna — was founded as the Warrenton branch of the Calvert School 96 years ago and opened its campus on the corner Oak Springs Drive and Broadview Avenue in 1957. Each expansion of the school has maintained the character and viewshed of our lovely rural town with low-profile buildings in muted colors, landscaping with native species and plenty of open space. Highland strives to mitigate any impact on its neighbors. When they built the William A. Hazel Family Lower School, for example, they installed — at their own expense — extra turn lanes on Oak Spring and Broadview to
move their carpool traffic out of the main lanes. In contrast, the out-of-town developer of the Warrenton Village Center claims in its statement of justification for a development of 619 bedrooms: “No improvements are warranted or recommended to mitigate traffic concerns by the proposal.” I understand the need for housing options in Warrenton for the people who work hardest to educate the children and keep our community safe and healthy, including Highland’s own teachers and the many parents who serve in law enforcement, first responder and health care positions. It is possible to build smaller-scale residential housing on this very corner of Oak Spring Drive that blends into the character of our town, supports the small-town lifestyle our families want and doesn’t turn Warrenton into the kind of congested nightmare so many families moved here to escape. Warrenton can do better. Our Warrenton Town Council can insist that this and other proposed developments adhere to the letter and spirit of the town’s comprehensive plan rather than granting waiver after waiver that renders that plan meaningless. We can be the model for green and sustainable small-town living. I call on the Warrenton Town Council to uphold the ideals of the comprehensive plan and preserve all that is special about Warrenton, Fauquier County and this beautiful area we are all so blessed to call “home.” HOPE PORTER Warrenton

On Aug. 13, the Warrenton Town Council will hold a public hearing on the Warrenton Village Center project. It involves 386 residential units on land currently zoned for commercial development and would sit next to the Highland School and along Oak Springs Drive. The project is based on a “live-work” neighborhood concept, which Citizens for Fauquier County supports in general. However, this project suffers from excessive scale and other problems. The project envisions four-story buildings as tall as 54 feet, far exceeding the 35-foot limit in the zoning ordinance. The ordinance also calls for an extra foot of setback for every foot over the limit, but the developers are asking for less setback, often no setback at all. The allowable density on the property is no more than 10 units per acre with the inclusion of 10% “affordable” dwelling units. The applicants are requesting 13.28 units per acre, a figure they calculated that, at first glance, appears only somewhat higher than what is allowable. However, when the calculation is done correctly, based on just the 9.8 acres dedicated to the project’s housing, the actual density is 40 units per acre! Development this dense is what you would find in the most urban areas of Northern Virginia and is not appropriate for a small historic town that seeks to retain its unique character. The developer’s traffic report also appears misleading, indicating only 154 trips in the morning and 197 trips in the evening and claiming no road or intersection improvements are necessary even though there are almost 400 housing units and a single access point to the four-story parking garage on Oak Springs Drive. The Town Council should commission an independent traffic consultant to look at the applicants’ traffic report. Overall, the applicants are requesting as many as 10 waivers and modifications to cram this development on the land. That alone should explain why this project does not belong in the Town of Warrenton. The town’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan says that this type of development should be “at an appropriate scale compatible with the town’s character and existing neighborhoods.” The town council should deny this application unless the scale and density are reduced significantly. Citizens who have concerns about this project should speak out at the public hearing on Aug. 13. KEVIN RAMUNDO President, Citizens for Fauquier County Upperville

READERS’ CHOICE 2024
Fauquier Times readers recognize dedicated, local public servants By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer
Every year, the Fauquier Times Readers’ Choice Awards celebrate the best of Fauquier County — from favorite restaurants to beloved businesses and celebrated public servants. All are nominated and voted on by our readers. The following are some of the people that represent the best of Fauquier County.
Best EMT: Darren Stevens, Rappahannock Fire and Rescue
When Darren Stevens retired in 2023 as the chief of Fauquier County Fire and Rescue, he thought he would pick up a couple shifts a week at Rappahannock’s fire and rescue department. He wanted to have more patient contact, something he had missed as he had climbed the career ladder into administration. But three days in, he was asked to fill in as Rappahannock’s emergency services coordinator. Stevens was an obvious pick; he had worked in Fauquier for nearly 35 years as a sheriff’s deputy, paramedic and fire marshal. He directed the county’s emergency services through the COVID-19 pandemic, which Stevens described as “the most challenging thing we’ve ever faced.” That test came after years of personal and organizational growth. When Stevens joined Fauquier County’s combined fire and EMS services, he was one of three employees. By the time he retired, the department had grown to 158 employees. “He is such an authentic public servant,” said Sylvia McDevitt, who nominated Stevens for People’s Choice. “He will do whatever is necessary to lead the charge.” Though humbled by the award, Stevens refused to take credit for the department’s growth during his tenure, “I felt honored to be able to serve.”
Best firefighter: Jacob Donahue, Fauquier County Fire Rescue System
According to his sister, Jacob Donahue always wanted to be a firefighter. He joined Catlett Volunteer Fire and Rescue when he turned 14. A few years later, Brittney Donahue said, “His first job was sweeping the floor at a company that sold fire trucks,” After attending Fauquier’s fire academy in
2019, Jacob Donahue was hired by Fauquier County Fire Rescue System. Altogether, he has 20 years of experience, but he reacted with modesty when he heard he had won a Readers’ Choice award. “It made me smile but at the end of the day I’d put 10, 20 people in front of me,” he said. Donahue said he loves being a firefighter — and until recently had the mustache to prove it — but he wanted the public to know that it’s still a blue-collar job with long hours. “I get there at 5 a.m., and I’m on my feet until I go to bed at 10 p.m.,” he said. In addition to responding to fire and EMS calls, emergency workers like Donahue maintain all their own equipment, including the engines and the station itself. “If we’re not running calls, we’re professional janitors,” Donahue said.
Best law-enforcement agent: Kevin Daymude, Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office
Kevin Daymude started his law-enforcement career in 1998 as a sheriff’s deputy at the Rappahannock County jail. Since then, he has worked in several law enforcement roles in Fauquier County: on patrol, in courts and civil processing and as a student resource officer in Fauquier County schools. But before he was a police officer and in-between working for Rappahannock and Fauquier’s Sheriff’s offices, Daymude was a trucker. That gives him an advantage in the traffic unit, where Daymude enforces restrictions on commercial vehicles. He conducts weight enforcement, checks to make sure loads are secured and verifies that truck drivers are sober and have valid licenses. According to Christina Gleason, who voted for Daymude, he’s even helped drivers with broken-down cars. She recounted how Daymude once helped a stranded driver at the Bealeton Food Lion by driving them to a nearby auto parts store and fixing their car. When she heard about the award, Gleason wasn’t surprised. “He is so patient and kind,” she said.
Best public servant: Brooke Campbell, Town of Warrenton
Until a couple of years ago, Brooke Campbell worked in public accounting for a large firm that
was investing in emerging markets. “I wasn’t able to see immediate impact from what I was doing,” Campbell said. When she saw an opening to be the budget manager of Warrenton, she applied. “And then I got to see the results,” she said. “You see a road get paved. You see a playground get built.” Her main responsibility is to build the town budget each year with Town Manager Frank Cassidy, funding all the municipal services, from law enforcement to maintenance of streets and sewers. “I couldn’t do it without support from each department,” Campbell said. “It’s really a collaborative effort.” She urged Warrenton citizens to join the process by attending public hearings and “town talks,” events that Campbell described as “a more personal way to let us know what you want to see in town.”
Best teacher: Michelle Green, Fauquier High School
Michelle Green, of Fauquier High School, is a textbook example of just how much teachers do. She sponsors the student council association and the senior class, stocks a snack cabinet in her classroom, is a trusted confidant among students, runs the school’s social media pages as the school ambassador, and she is the IT specialist for Fauquier High. “I feel like I’m a 24-hour support desk sometimes,” Green said. That last role is maybe her most important. Green is responsible for teaching students, staff and parents how to use all the technology within the high school, helping the school community adapt and advance in an increasingly technological landscape. But Green doesn’t do this work alone. She runs a class called “Student Run Help Desk,” where students coach peers on technology and practice using social media in a professional setting to promote school activities. “She is the solid object of Fauquier High School,” said Cathy Friedl, who nominated Green as Readers’ Choice best teacher. “My son was a transfer student, and from day one, she took him under her wing. Now, he is a rising senior and SCA (Student Council Association) president.” Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

READERS’ CHOICE 2024
Fauquier FISH: much more than a food pantry
The organization builds meal kits, delivers food and supplies students By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer
Fauquier County’s drought has many impacts: crunchy lawns, dehydrated dogs and low river levels. It’s also costing Fauquier FISH a lot in donated food. The local food pantry, which was voted best nonprofit in the Fauquier Times annual Readers’ Choice Awards, relies on summer donations from local farms. Typically, this time of year FISH gets 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of donated farm food a week, said Charity Furness, director of Fauquier FISH. But the lack of rain means less locally grown food available to donate. “Today, we got more than we’ve had all summer, and we hit about 400 pounds,” she said. FISH — an acronym that stands for Feed. Inspire. Support. Health — purchases most of the food it donates. This summer’s local produce squeeze joins a list of pressures on the organization. Inflation over the past few years has driven up its costs for buying food and increased the number of clients needing help. “It wasn’t just a 30% increase in food costs; you had a 50% increase in the number of people you’re serving,” Furness said. FISH has been supporting the hungry in Fauquier County since 1983, when it was founded in a church basement. Since then, the food pantry has occupied an empty evidence room at the sheriff’s office, the county extension on Pelham Street and an unused school trailer, before moving to an Awlington warehouse on Industrial Road. “This is the second year in this location, the first with air conditioning,” Furness said. In the 40 years since its founding, FISH, which does not means-test its clients and is not affiliated with a religious institution, has expanded its offerings. The organization supplies more than pantry staples; FISH provides funds for clients to shop at the farmers market, delivers food to seniors and fills students bookbags when it’s time to go back to school.
These programs are funded by donations from individuals, businesses and foundations. This year, the organization also received public funding from Fauquier County. These contributions fuel the effort of 100 volunteers a week and one employee: Furness. FISH needs so many volunteers because its programs are labor-intensive, especially its DASH meal kits, the heart of the organization’s food pantry. Furness said most of FISH’s clients work multiple jobs and juggle responsibilities such as children and aging parents, circumstances that can make preparing meals a daunting task. “We wanted to answer that question of ‘What’s for dinner?’” Furness said. Families choose eight meals a week off a menu with choices such as quesadillas, vegetable frittatas, and chicken and rice. Then they can supplement those meals by selecting pantry staples such as vegetables, cereal, bread, eggs and milk. This model allows Fauquier FISH’s clients to try new foods and new recipes, which Furness described as a financial risk many can’t afford. The DASH program is one of many programs developed from direct community feedback. FISH is currently gearing up for its Book bag and School Supply Drive, which Furness anticipates will serve up to 1,500 students. Leftover supplies are donated to schools. Once the school year begins, the organization will pivot to making Weekend Powerpacks — student meals that bridge the hunger gap between Friday and Monday. FISH’s Friendly Visitor Program delivers low-sodium and low-sugar meals to home-bound seniors once a month. Volunteers visit with each senior, providing companionship in addition to sustenance. In the future, Furness would like to make the organization’s services more geographically accessible by expanding deliveries and stocking more free little pantries. “We need to meet people where they are,” she said. “Sometimes, if you live in Catlett or in Paris, you can’t come to Warrenton. So, making sure that the food is accessible to folks in those areas is on the next burner.”

Many teams find themselves at a loss without their star player. Heading into their first season since 2019 without ace Lliam Collins, Liberty golf co-coaches Montana Gleason and Rusty Markley aren’t overly concerned. “It’ll be tough without him, but we have guys,” Gleason said. “None of them are scoring quite what Lliam scored last year, but together they’re all filling in where he left off.” Liberty’s four-year anchor was the only Eagle to make regionals last season, where he shot 86 to narrowly miss a state berth. Collins, who will play at Bridgewater College, has continued to shape the team during summer practices, finding time to prepare his former teammates before he heads to Bridgewater. Markley says Collins has a future in coaching if he’s interested. “He has all the leadership qualities,” Markley said. “He’s doing the same thing that Montana and I did during college, coming back and helping out the people that are coming up behind us.” The coaching trio of Gleason, Markley and Collins have been guiding a 22-man roster with a young but dangerous starting six led by Collins’ brother, Eli. A junior, Eli Collins was the obvious choice to slide into the No. 1 spot after starting behind his brother last season. Eli shines as a player and leader, like his brother. “When he came to us as an eighth grader, I wish we could have started him,” Gleason said. “He’s gotten better each year, but his maturity and leadership has really grown over the summer.
Liberty lineup
No. 1: Eli Collins, Jr. No. 2: Jackson Carder, Soph. No. 3: Travis Ferguson, Jr. No. 4: Preston Lamot, Soph. No. 5: R.C. Sturgeon, Sr. No. 6: Carter Russell, Soph. He’s always been quieter. His brother was more of the vocal one. He’s taken on a more vocal leadership change this year.” “He’s been playing in tournaments and broke 80 for the first time this summer,” Gleason added. “I’m just excited to see him go out and play more.” Other headliners include sophomore Jackson Carder in the No. 2 slot. Carder picked up golf just two months before last season. Junior Travis Ferguson is slotted at No. 3. “With them two, they have competitive experience,” Markley said. “It’s just a matter of how they’ll handle tougher competition, being up a spot or two in the order from last season.” Sophomore Preston Lamot, senior R.C. Sturgeon and sophomore Carter Russell round out the rest of the Eagles’ starting six. “R.C. has been with us for so long. He’s got a great swing, and his leadership is a big reason why young guys like Carter and Preston have gotten better fast,” Markley said. Senior Amity Vincent is a key contributor and the lone girl on Liberty’s squad. Other seniors include Sturgeon, Ben Michnya, John Russell, Lincoln Taylor and J.T. Utterback. Sturgeon is the only senior in the starting lineup. The coaches says that’s more indicative of the
Eagles’ young talent than a knock on the seniors. “Them being so young makes me excited for their potential even after this year,” Gleason said. “All of them have grown so much in the short time we’ve had them. They’re not even hitting their prime yet. They just need more competitions to play in and they’ll get there for sure.” Liberty opened Monday with an encouraging third place finish in a Class 4 Northwestern District meet at the South Wales Golf Course. Carder shot 80 to tie for second overall. Eli Collins shot 84, Ferguson 82, Lamot 93, Sturgeon 97 and Russell 112. “We have a three-headed monster at the top with Eli, Jackson and Travis that are still young and getting better by the round,” Gleason said following the match.
Co-coaches again
Gleason and Markley, who are entering their fifth year as co-coaches, split the team up for practice, taking 14-16 of the players to South Wales and the rest to Fauquier Springs Country Club. Co-coaching has been convenient and enjoyable for both Gleason, 25, and Markley, 26. Former Liberty golfers, both have been dedicated to injecting the program with enthusiasm – and ushered steady growth from a six-man roster in 2020. Markley considered moving on prior to this season but decided to stick around largely out of love for what he and Gleason built. “It’s hard to leave them behind,” Markley said. “I was talking to J.T. and Travis about it, and they helped me. I’ve gotten so close with these guys. I want to help them and everyone else to the next step. It feels like we have a good thing going.”

KETTLE RUN GOLF PREVIEW
Experienced Cougars eye elusive first state berth By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer
Kettle Run lineup
Kettle Run High golf coach Chris Ferrell has one thing on his mind this season: qualifying for the Class 3 state tournament as a team. The Cougars have come close several times but have never advanced to states as a team since the school opened in 2008. Needing to finish in the top two at regionals to reach states, the Cougars finished two strokes behind Brentsville and Goochland at last year’s Class 3 Region B tournament to take third, falling just short of states again. “The goal is always the same, to make it to states. We’ve come really close. In the past five years, we’ve come within a stroke or two, two or three times,” said Ferrell. “It’s kind of comical how close we’ve gotten so many years and still not made it.” In returning four of six starters from last season, including two-time individual state qualifier Jack Wargo, Ferrell believes this could be the team that gets the Cougars over the hump. Wargo, a senior, returns
as the Cougars’ No. 1 ahead of seniors Case Roeber, Wyatt Carver and sophomore Nate Fortune. He’s reached the last two state tournaments as an individual after shooting well at regionals, finishing in a tie for 20th with a 78 at Williamsburg National Golf Club last year. Said Ferrell, “He hits the ball very straight, he’s a good iron player and his chipping and putting has come a long way. He’s just a really good all-around player. There are not many weaknesses in his game.” Regardless of if the Cougars make states as a team, Ferrell expects Wargo to be there for a third straight year. “I got all the confidence in the world in Jack. I know he’s going to be able to go out there and do his thing
No. 1: Jack Wargo, Sr.* No. 2: Case Roeber, Sr.* No. 3: Wyatt Carver, Sr.* No. 4: Nate Fortune, Soph.* No. 5: Luke Wargo, Jr.* No. 6: Jack Arnold (Sr.); Gavin Leeder (Fr.); Owen Gallagher (Soph.) *Returning starter

Led by seniors Jack Wargo (second from right) and Wyatt Carver (second from left), the Kettle Run golf team hopes to qualify for its first Class 3 state tournament this season. day-in and day-out,” he said. Carver and Roeber were the Cougars’ No. 3 and 4 players last year behind Wargo and 2024 graduate and current Shenandoah University golfer Brian Slaughter, who also reached states as an individual last season, and now climb to the No. 2 and 3 spots as seniors. “Case is very naturally talented. If I can get him to hunker down and work on his short game, I think he could be close to where Jack is now. That’s his potential,” said Ferrell, adding, “Wyatt’s come a long way. If he can keep his head on straight, he
could be in the same echelon as the other two.” Ferrell also hopes to see a breakout from Fortune, the No. 4 golfer. Fortune rotated in and out of the No. 6 spot as a freshman last season but figures to be a much bigger factor in the Cougars’ lineup this year. “Just from watching him play the nine holes that we had (during tryouts), I can see it. I feel like he’s taking a big stride, and I got a feeling he’s going to help us out a lot this year,” Ferrell said. Junior Luke Wargo, the younger brother of Jack, also saw some tournament action as the Cougars’ No.
6 last season, and he returns to the No. 5 spot behind Fortune. Senior Jack Arnold, sophomore Owen Gallagher and freshman Gavin Leeder round out the lineup as they’ll split duties as the No. 6. Ferrell is excited to get to work with Leeder, the only freshman on the team. “He has a really solid swing from what I saw (at tryouts). We’ll coach him up, and I think he can go a long way. I think he has a lot of potential,” the coach said. The Cougars debuted on Monday at Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville, then traveled to Shenandoah Valley Golf Club in Front Royal for tournaments on Tuesday and Wednesday. As Kettle Run begins its quest to advance to the state tournament for the first time, Ferrell believes the Cougars have the talent to do it, but understands they’ll also need a little luck. “We got to have the guys show up at the right time. It all usually comes down to one tournament at the end of the year to get in, so you got to have a good day at the right time,” Ferrell said.

Coach Strano and his seniors look competitive

Fauquier lineup
No. 1: Mason Markell, Sr.* No. 2: Sam Roteman, Sr.* No. 3-6: Aidan Brennan (Jr.)*; A.J. Lamper (Sr.)*; Max Connelly (Sr.)*; Matt Pollster (Jr.)*; Garren Houser (Sr.) *Returning player
By Peter Brewington Sports Editor
Fauquier High business teacher Frank Strano takes over as Fauquier High golf coach this fall. Strano is a longtime recreational golfer whose son Frankie was a fouryear Falcon golf standout who rose to be the team’s No. 1 player before graduating in 2018. Strano calls himself a “bogey golfer,” which means he’s well-positioned to help his guys improve their games. He succeeds Danny Shaw, another FHS teacher who coached two seasons. Last year’s No. 1 Wyatt Keith graduated, but the first-year coach is heartened by the presence of eight seniors in his upper tier of talent. “We have quite a turnout,” said Strano, citing an initial roster of 17 that includes 11 seniors, two juniors, one sophomore and three freshmen. There’s also a handful of players on vacation that could still be coming out, including some girls. Seniors Mason Markell and Sam Roteman appear to be vying for the No. 1 spot. “On top is Mason Markell, but I have not seen him yet,” the new coach says. Others in the mix for the top six are junior Aidan Brennan, senior Chris-

Senior Mason Markell projects as Fauquier High’s No. 1 golfer this season. tian Friedl, senior A.J. Lamper, senior Max Connelly, senior Garren Hauer, junior Matt Pollster and perhaps newcomer Dylan Donner, a senior basketball star, or senior Austin Stumpf. Roteman, Brennan, Connelly, Pollster and Lamper all played last season. Strano said Brennan “has a sound game and will be one of our top players.” Due to a lack of practice time, Strano has not seen Markell, Connelly, Pollster or Stumpf. He evaluated Friedl, Lamper, Donner and Hauer recently. “They all seem at the same level,” Strano said. Donner, a 6-foot-3 basketball sensa-
tion who scored a school single-game record 47 points against Manassas Park last winter, has devoted his summer to golf and could play in the top six. “He’s got a good game,” Strano said. Strano is popular with his players and said several who were in his class approached him last May about taking over. Strano, who coaches girls tennis, applied and got the job. “We got together and I said, ‘I’ll coach you guys.’ I’m not a golf pro or anything like that but I have a good relationship with the students,” Strano said. The new coach has designed an Excel spreadsheet he’s distributed to his players that lists different categories designed to show their strengths and weaknesses. He wants them to mark themselves in certain categories as they play. Strano wants his players to think strategically on the course, noting if a hole is 320 yards, they don’t need to clobber a 250-yard drive. “They don’t always need to use driver. There’s an easier way to play the hole. I’ve played 30 years,” says
Strano, who is a member at Fauquier Springs Country Club. “I’ve used a lot of course management myself.” Strano is a former athlete who played college basketball and tennis at Ramapo (Mahwah, N.J.) College. His plan is to encourage a nurturing environment and help his players improve through practical methods. “I can’t size up the competition because I have not seen them,” says Strano of the challenge facing the Falcons in the Class 3 Northwestern District. “It’s a quick season. You can’t not play all summer and come in and succeed. Golf can be unforgiving.” The Falcons have had only one tryout session due to the heat. They opened their season Tuesday at the Curly Lickliter tournament at Shenandoah Valley Golf Course in Front Royal. “We’ll use the first match to get a feel. I’ll make a decision the night before on who plays and hopefully get to play some other players as well. We want to have a lot of fun. Our goal is to represent the school and show sportsmanship and class and be positive,” Strano said. Robert Deavers, an FHS science teacher, is an assistant coach, with Deavers’ elementary school-aged son Owen as a team manager. The Falcons are getting new red shirts as well as hats and shorts.

968-acre Kilkenny Farm offers a beautiful escape Kilkenny Farm’s 968 acres sits at the edge of the village of Orlean in one of the most beautiful areas of Fauquier County with expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 17 miles to the west. The entrance to Kilkenny Farm is framed by spectacular rhododendron. The long driveway passes the farm manager’s house, a stable, and then a large pond before the drive curves and ascends to the courtyard in front of the manor home. Kilkenny’s Georgian style manor house, circa 1935, was built with imported English brick, using old world craftsmanship. It is perfectly sited for one to enjoy the ultimate in privacy and gorgeous views. The home features a three-level center section flanked by one-story wings, which form the courtyard. The wing to the right features a large mudroom, which connects the main body of the home to the three car garage. The wing to the left houses guest quarters with two en suite bedrooms. The elegant center hall of the home runs the depth of the foyer and then opens into the sunroom which bathes much of the first level in natural light. The home’s high ceilings, moldings, spacious rooms and wonderful blending of
indoor spaces to the out of door terraces, gardens and lawn make this a very gracious and welcoming home. In addition to the classically beautiful manor house, there is a stunning, newly constructed second home designed by Andy Lewis, with the award-winning architectural firm of Neumann, Lewis and Buchanan. Also, perfectly sited to enjoy privacy and the views, this home feels timeless. The open floor plan is built on the stone foundation and centers around the historic stone fireplace of the previous structure and features three bedrooms and three and a half baths. To the left of this home is a charming, completely renovated guest house/study. The entire farm consists of three parcels protected by a single easement with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. Each parcel is accessed by either Kilkenny Road, Hawthorne Farm Road or Thumb Run Road. • The 540-acre parcel has access to all three roads and contains the residences and barns, 3 ponds, fenced pasture, forestland and a section of Thumb Run.

Robert Edward Wines Robert "Eddie" Edward Wines, 74, of Warrenton, Virginia, passed away on August 1, 2024, at Fairfax Hospital after a recent illness. Eddie was born in 1949 in Delaplane, Virginia, and was the son of Scott Edward Wines and Nettie Viola Wines. His law enforcement career began on August 15, 1974, at the age of 25 when he joined the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office as a dispatcher. Just one year after he began working with the Sheriff's Office, he was promoted to a patrol deputy where he remained as the longest serving member in the history of the Sheriff's Office. Eddie protected his Fauquier community while serving under five different Sheriffs. On August 15, 2019, exactly 45 years to the day, he proudly retired at the rank of Sergeant Major, which was created for him to recognize his experience and leadership. Eddie was a mentor and father figure to many young law enforcement officers throughout his career. He was well respected, dedicated and most importantly resilient. Eddie enjoyed working in the outdoors throughout his life. He dedicated many years after retirement to helping farm our beautiful countryside in Fauquier and Rappahannock County. Throughout his career, Retired Sergeant Major Wines received numerous accolades, including the Life Saving Award, Safe Driving Award, Deputy of the Year, Deputy of the Quarter, Meritorious Service Award, Help Eliminate Auto Theft (HEAT) Award and many Community Service Awards. Eddie's "sidekick" was his precious great-grandson, Julias. They had a very special bond riding in his truck and most especially, in "their John Deere gator".

Chester A. Kaminsky Jr Chester Anthony Kaminsky Jr , better known as "Skip", 80, of Warrenton VA, passed away on Thursday, August 1 2024 at home. Skip was born in Fairmont WV on May 27, 1944, to Chester A. Kaminsky and Meryle Jean Jarrett Kaminsky. Skip was married to Margaret Offterdinger Kaminsky for 47 years and was the proud father of Kami Wilfong and his son-in-law Toby of Fairmont WV. He is also survived by his sister Sandra J. Prendergast of Fairmont. Skip enjoyed many adventures with his West Virginia cousins, particularly at the family "camp," as well as with many friends who have remained close through the years. Always ready to have a good time, Skip will be remembered for his love of being with people, his joy with his Arabian horses, his quick wit and his one-liners, his kindness and generosity, and his unwavering love for his "bride."

Skip was a member of the Catlett-Calverton-Casanova Ruritan Club where he served as president for three terms. He especially loved the planning and distribution of baskets in the community at Christmas. He was also a proud member of the Sons of the American Legion Post 159.

HOW TO TELL WHEN IT’S TIME It’s tough to acknowledge that the person who raised you is no longer able to properly care for themselves. It can be even harder for the aging person to admit they need help. Older people may deny or not realize they can no longer care for themselves. Most older adults want to stay in their home and maintain their freedom and independence. Denying or hiding problems with living at home is a good indicator that they’re no longer capable, and that they already know it themselves. Omitting crucial information, acting defensively, and withholding facts from doctors are all common behaviors for people at risk of losing their autonomy. It’s crucial to recognize these behaviors before the person risks harming themselves. It is the goal of MOSER FUNERAL HOME to help people complete the relationship with the one who has died and to provide a climate that encourages each person to give and receive emotional support. During the funeral service, family and friends have the opportunity to relate to each other at the deepest levels and find mutual strength. To learn about our funeral services, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different; they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other.” David Riesman
