A Florida-based developer has begun the application process to build a shopping center on 17 acres at the north corner of U.S. 15/29 and Route 605 outside Warrenton. The development, dubbed the Warrenton Shopping Center, could feature a 48,000-square-foot grocery store, a gas station, a fast-food restaurant and retail shops, according to a conceptual layout submitted by the applicant.

The representative for the developer, The Morgan Companies, did not return a phone call Monday inquiring about the project, and the name of the grocery store chain behind the proposal is listed as “confidential” in county planning documents. Morgan has developed at least two shopping centers in the region anchored by Publix and has worked with Publix extensively in

Orlean Fire Department celebrates half a century with cookbook fundraiser ‘The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook’ is author’s second book of recipes

By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Johnny Ray Kerns, chief of the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, reported Aug. 7 that the department still has a way to go to raise the $770,000 it needs for a new Pierce fire engine. The new truck will replace the department’s old engine, lovingly known as “The Beast.”

Fire house breakfasts and drivethrough rib dinners are slowly filling the OVFRD coffers, but the fund got a boost Sunday afternoon when Brian Noyes, owner of the Red Truck Bakery, donated all the proceeds -$6,000 -- from Aug. 7 firehouse sales of his new cookbook to celebrate the fire company’s 50th anniversary.

“The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook: Sweet and Savory Comfort Food from America’s Favorite Rural Bakery,” is Noyes’ second cookbook. The first, published in 2018, was titled “The Red Truck Bakery Cookbook.”

The 130 or so folks who attended the fundraiser at the firehouse scooped up all the signed copies of the book that

were available; some walked away with more than one. Those who were late to the cookbook table paid their $28 anyway, because anyone who paid for the book Sunday had their purchase price added to the fire department’s tally.

Attendees were treated to samples of Lexington [Kentucky] Bourbon Cake and a gluten-free almond cake with apricot glaze. There were also slices of Noyes’ honeysuckle and iced tea cake. Noyes said, “I wanted to make a truly southern cake;” it took two years to get the flavors balanced just right, he said.

The Red Truck Bakery opened in 2009 in an old 1921 Esso filling station at 22 Waterloo St. in Warrenton. On his website, Noyes says, “Out front I parked the old red truck (a 1954 Ford F-100) I bought from designer Tommy Hilfiger,” which has become a familiar site in Old Town Warrenton.

In 2015, the bakery expanded into a former 1922 pharmacy and Masonic lodge at 8368 West Main St. in Marshall; it has become the business’s main location, café, market and headquarters. In addition to serving

Cookbook author Brian Noyes autographs a copy of The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook for a couple of fans. customers at both locations, each year the bakery ships thousands of orders around the country.

Noyes gave a brief presentation Sunday before greeting the long line of Orlean fire department boosters who wanted him to sign their purchases. He connected the bakery and the cookbook to Fauquier County and Orlean, where many of the photos in the book were taken.

He said that while his first cookbook gave a sampling of the cakes and pies and muffins his bakery has become locally famous for, his newest cookbook contains more savory options – like green tomato sandwich, tomato pie and corn crab cakes. “Farmhouse” is an important emphasis of the second book, he said.

Noyes said he was inspired to

complete the second edition when he saw people posting on social media about baking through his first cookbook during the worst of the COVID pandemic.

He worked through health issues and pandemic-related challenges, but finally got the cookbook to his editors. He had wanted to include a special birthday cake recipe his grandmother used to make for him, but he couldn’t find it. After the final manuscript had been sent, Noyes said he was carrying a stack of books when a spiral notebook fell and opened to a recipe in his grandmother’s handwriting. He called his editors and they managed to slip “Noyes’ Birthday Cake” into the book. It’s on page 195.

Nonprofit plans to repurpose former Ben & Mary’s for affordable housing

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A Warrenton-based nonprofit has plans to repurpose the former Ben & Mary’s Steak House building north of Warrenton into four affordable apartments. The Fauquier County Planning Commission will hold the first public hearing about the proposal Aug. 18.

The 1930 Ben & Mary’s building is part of the larger Fletcherville community at the corner of U.S. 17 and Keith Road, currently composed of 39 below-market rental units available to those with incomes below 60% of the area median income, or $83,000 per year for the average household. Foothills Housing Corporation, a nonprofit founded in 1970 to help low-income residents find and maintain affordable housing, purchased all the properties in Fletcherville in 2018. Foothills Housing also owns The Oaks in Warrenton, Countryside Townhomes in Bealeton and Stuart Street Homes in The Plains.

Foothills Housing’s plans for the old restaurant building, located in a “commercial village” zoning district, include constructing two two-bedroom apartments and two one-bedroom apartments ranging from 706 to 853 square feet. One of the apartments would be ADA-compliant. County supervisors must ap-

prove a special exception permit for the project to move forward, since the plan includes housing on a parcel zoned for commercial use.

The project has the enthusiastic support of Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, who last week called the proposal “a win for the county and the community.”

Ben & Mary’s was once a fixture of the local cultural scene, but it closed in 1996 after more than 40 years, and the aging structure hasn’t been home to a restaurant since 2013, when the shortlived Twisted Sisters Seafood closed.

The “recognizable historic exterior” would not be substantially altered by the renovation, according to Foothills Housing’s statement of justification.

The parking lot facing the highway would be replaced with landscaping, and tenants would instead access the building using an existing entrance behind the building on Stewart Street.

The application also pointed out that the four housing units would generate

far less traffic than if the building was again used for a restaurant or another commercial use.

A $200,000 grant from the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission — part of a $40 million statewide allocation of funds in 2021 from Virginia Housing — will help fund the project if it’s approved by the county.

The Ben & Mary’s proposal is part of a larger effort to rehabilitate Fletcherville’s existing structures, some of which are 70 years old, over the next few years. John Reid, the organization’s executive director, said Monday that work has been done over the past four years to better insulate the homes and to fix drainage issues in crawlspaces and basements.

“We have made some improvements in Fletcherville that I think the community — the tenants — will appreciate,” he said, noting that the Charlottesville-based Local Energy Alliance Program led some of those efforts with funding from Dominion

Foothills Housing Corporation

Foothills Housing Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Warrenton, was founded in 1970

by Maximilian Tufts Sr., Roland Tapscott, and John Wayland. Then, about one in five homes in Fauquier County lacked indoor plumbing, and much of the organization’s initial efforts focused on expanding residents’ access to running water.

The nonprofit now owns four housing communities in the county with below-market rents available to people with low-to-moderate incomes. The organization also funds need-based repairs for existing homes and construction of new affordable housing.

While the organization receives some funding from local governments — Fauquier County contributed $55,300 this year — most funding comes from private donations and grants, Executive Director John Reid explained. He emphasized that 100% of contributions to Foothills Housing are used for programs, and no donated money is used for overhead expenses.

St. John campus benefits from first-ever embedded fiber cable system

By Abby Zimmardi

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

In June, a Gainesville business called TRAXyL installed a fully functioning fiber optic network into the surface layer of concrete in the parking lot at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and school in Warrenton. It’s a new, non-intrusive technique and the first embedding installation in the nation.

The company workers created a machine that can lay down fiber cables in the first couple millimeters of paved surfaces, and TRAXyL has both the machine and embedding process patented.

Keith Turner, vice president of sales, said that the company “created a new right of way.”

“What we did at St. John’s in Warrenton is we did our first installation with that process in the country, and we gave them their own small little proprietary fiber network [between] six buildings,” Turner said. “We basically did the job in two days, which is pretty unheard of.”

Bill Helsel, director of maintenance for St. John, said that the installation was quick and easy.

TRAXyL installed a network of four cables with 12 fibers each; they were placed on the parking lot pavement between the buildings.

“Nothing got disrupted,” Helsel said. “That was the beauty of this process.” He also said that the process had huge cost savings for St. John.

Fiber optic cables are glass fibers about the size of a strand of hair. The cables are used to send data and create data networks in which the data signals travel as light through the glass fiber. “That’s what makes fiber the gold standard,” Turner said.

The traditional process for installing fiber optic cables typically involves digging a trench or cutting through concrete slabs. It can take days or even weeks to install the cables and replace the landscaping before the roads are ready to drive

Keith Turner, TRAXyL vice president of sales, points out where the fiber cable was embedded at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Warrenton. The June 2022 project was the first embedding installation in the nation. on again. It involves more labor and machinery and is more expensive than TRAXyL’s method, Turner said.

TRAXyL’s embedding process involves etching out a few millimeters in the surface layer of the pavement, laying the fiber cables down, and adding a topcoat called methyl methacrylate that is UV cured and dried within 30 minutes, ready for cars to drive over it. The fiber cables are essentially painted onto the pavement; the whole process is done with the patented machine, which can lay 1,000 feet of fiber cable in one hour.

The beginning stages of TRAXyL’s patented machine began in 2017 with designing and testing the process of laying fiber cables directly on pavements. From 2017 to 2020, the company applied for and received three patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, along with numerous awards for the technique.

Since 2017, the company has installed working fiber in eight states across the country, with Warrenton being the home of the first-ever embedding process.

The embedding process does not degrade the strength of the concrete. The MMA material has a “stronger bond to asphalt than asphalt has to itself,” Turner said.

As well as keeping the integrity of the pavement, the MMA does not leave the pavement uneven, so when the embedding process is completed, the surface is as smooth as it was before, making it ADA compliant. That means that a person in a wheelchair would have no issues moving on a sidewalk that may have fiber cables embedded into it.

The finished product at St. John’s is a completely flush installation, meaning the fiber cables go virtually unnoticed on the roads. Only a black line is left, and Turner said that the company has begun working to color match the finish material with the pavement material, so no black line will be visible in future installations.

The internet service provider for the St. John installation was Comcast, the integrator was Croft Communications and the network administrator was Vision Tech Group in Harrisonburg, Va.

Norwood again set to plead guilty to murder charges Separate plea agreement fell through this year

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Deputies escort Levi Norwood to a court hearing in March 2020.

Levi Norwood, accused of murdering his mother and brother in 2020, will enter a guilty plea to some or all charges this month, according to a motion filed Monday. This is the second time this year that a plea hearing has been scheduled. The first, in January, was canceled after Norwood rejected a plea deal and opted to schedule a jury trial instead.

Monday’s motion stated that Norwood had reached a plea agreement with prosecutors and that a plea hearing is scheduled for Aug. 22 in Fauquier County Circuit Court. The

document gave no other details.

Norwood, then a 17-year-old Liberty High School junior, was arrested in North Carolina the day after he allegedly shot and killed his mother, Jennifer Norwood, 34, and 6-year-old brother, Wyatt Norwood, in the family’s Midland home. He has remained in custody since then, charged with two counts of first-degree murder and other felonies.

Norwood’s attorney, public defender Ryan Ruzic, and Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Hook announced in November 2021 that the parties had reached a plea agreement. Norwood ultimately rejected that deal, however, and confirmed that to a judge during a Jan. 13 hearing.

Neither Ruzic nor Hook imme-

diately responded to a request for comment.

A court document filed two weeks after the homicides claims that Norwood admitted to the homicides. The only reported witness to the shooting, Levi Norwood’s father Joshua Norwood, killed himself two months after the death of his wife and younger son.

Norwood has undergone two court-ordered evaluations that have found that he is competent to stand trial. The results of separate evaluations to determine whether he was “sane” at the time of the alleged offense are not public record.

If the plea agreement again falls through, a 10-day jury trial is scheduled to take place in February 2023.

Laurel Ridge to open Fauquier center for skilled trades in spring 2023

Center will offer dedicated training and lab space for plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, heavy-equipment operators, carpenters, welders

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier campus of Laurel Ridge Community College is about to start construction on an 8,000-square-foot building for training plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, heavy-equipment operators, carpenters and welders. The new building will be specifically designed for the trades and will provide lab space for hands-on instruction.

The center will open in spring 2023. Courses will be open to high school students at Fauquier County Public Schools, as well as to other people interested in entering the trades. Carpentry and welding certifications will be offered for the first time, and daytime and evening classes will be available.

The building will have hard floors, high ceilings and state-of-the-art ventilation to accommodate industrial and commercial training equipment.

“One of the great things about these skilled

trades is you can earn a great living wage after a short time,” said Tami O’Brien, development officer for Laurel Ridge, formerly Lord Fairfax Community College. “The Northern Virginia market is an extremely heavy infrastructure market, so we have a lot of demand for people with the skills that we will be providing instruction for.”

The Fauquier Campus Center for Skilled Trades will be built next to the main campus at 6480 College St., Warrenton, on 60 acres of land donated

by Fauquier County. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the center was held Tuesday, Aug. 2.

Aidan Gould, 25, finished plumbing and electrical courses at Laurel Ridge in 2019 and has since started his own full-service plumbing business, Top Tier Trades (https://www.toptier-trades.com/).

He is happy to see Laurel Ridge expand its commitment to the trades. “It gives people at least something else to try, because I know from experience that the mindset is that everyone goes to college and

School breakfast, lunch prices rising this year

Program that provided free meals for all students has ended

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Free breakfasts and lunches will no longer be provided to all students in Fauquier County Public Schools when school starts Wednesday, Aug. 10. Prices will rise 10 cents for elementary, middle and high school students unless their families meet federal income guidelines for free or reduced-price lunches.

Schools nationwide offered free meals during the worst of the COVID pandemic. That included all Fauquier County Public Schools. However, the option for free meals has expired.

In Fauquier County, the price of breakfast for elementary students is rising from $1.70 during the 20192020 school year to $1.80 now. For middle school students, the price is rising from $1.80 to $1.90. High school students will pay $2 for breakfast, up from $1.90.

Lunch prices are rising to $3 for elementary students, $3.20 for middle school students and $3.40 for

high school students.

Under the new policy, students may automatically qualify for free or reduced-price meals if anyone in their household gets SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) benefits.

Students may qualify without having to fill out an application. Families who receive benefits through WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children) also may qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

Families applying based on income will need to fill out applications that are available at every school or online at www.fcps1.org/ nutrition.

Homeless, runaway or foster children, along with children whose families are migrant workers, qualify for free meals when their families fill out applications.

Families can apply for free or reduced-price meals at any time during the school year. If families are not satisfied with school officials’ decisions, they can talk to Cornelia Harris, application processing official with the Fauquier County School Nutrition program.

“One of the great things about these skilled trades is you can earn a great living wage after a short time.”

TAMI O’BRIEN Development officer for Laurel Ridge Community College

if you don’t, you are going to end up serving burgers somewhere, but that is not the case,” Gould said.

Gould took academic courses for a year and a half after high school but realized he did not enjoy it. He wanted to work with his hands.

He is happy to have the chance to own his own business. “I find that having this skill and the potential to own your own business set me up for a better financial future than if I had gone to traditional college,” Gould said.

New plumbers are in demand, Gould said, because of a generational gap. The median age of plumbers is 65 years, and for many years few younger people entered the field.

The Center for Skilled Trades originally was to open in Fall 2022, but that schedule proved too ambitious, said Craig Short, vice president of financial and administrative services at Laurel Ridge.

“Logistical challenges have cost us some time in the pre-construction phase that were mostly due to stereotypical hurdles with contractor selection and procurement, design changes and permitting,” Short said in an email.

“This is a challenging time to undertake a construction project, so all things considered, we’re very happy to be getting the project started next month.”

The Laurel Ridge Community College Educational Foundation’s project team includes Miller Brothers Construction, Blueline Architects and “county partners who have helped us navigate this final leg of the pre-construction phase and set us up for success for the construction phase,” Short said.

Schoology to replace Blackboard at Fauquier County Public Schools

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County Public Schools will open Wednesday, Aug. 10, with a new learning management system, Schoology, replacing Blackboard, the system parents, students and staff have relied on to access class assignments and more for nearly 15 years.

Schoology lets students, teachers and staff access class materials anytime. It can help teachers personalize instruction and share lesson plans, according to a press release from Fauquier County Schools.

Fauquier schools will provide student and parent training in the use of Schoology beginning this week.

Parents can take self-paced courses online or use in-person learning opportunities. Families who attended Back-to-School-Fairs in July got an early look at the new platform.

Schoology is easy for parents, students and staff to use, according to the FCPS release. It also provides an online help system for all users.

Teachers can access tutorials, including self-paced courses within Schoology, in-person training with instructional technology resource teachers, webinars and YouTube channel options. Teacher training began in March and will continue

FCPS Educational Technology Leader Tina Ference described Schoology as the “best fit” for the school division. Parents, students, teachers and administrators participated in an evaluation of replacement options for Blackboard during the 2021-2022 school year.

After thorough research and review, Schoology emerged as the favorite over other platforms, including Canvas and Infinite Campus. Schoology is designed for all students—from kindergarten through 12th grade—to fully engage with their learning.

School board candidate Josh Erdossy says parents deserve to be heard

Are you running with an organized slate of candidates who share your views?

ERDOSSY, from page 1

Do you have endorsements?

“The main point for me as a candidate running for office is trying to show responsiveness to parent issues,” Erdossy said. “Having four kids — and they are in the early years of the school system — made it more and more important for me to be involved.”

Just one of five Fauquier County School Board positions is up for grabs in the general election Nov. 8. Erdossy, a contractor at the U.S. State Department, is vying with Clay Campbell, chairman of the board of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Fauquier, for the Scott District seat. The Scott District encompasses northeastern Fauquier County.

The seat is open because Vincent Gallo is not running after completing the rest the four year term of Suzanne Sloane, who resigned in 2021, halfway through her term. Gallo was appointed by the school board to take Sloane’s place until the November 2022 election. The winner in November — Erdossy or Campbell — will serve for just one year, the remaining year of Sloane’s four-year term.

School boards nationwide have become a cultural flash point over the past few years as some par-

For now, on Facebook. For example, he will let people know he is going to be at Old Bust Head Brewing Company on bingo night and will be available to talk. Within the next few weeks, he plans to host events at his home.

Erdossy said that school board members should keep an open mind and listen to all sides of an issue,

About the candidates

This is the first of two stories about candidates seeking to represent the Scott District on the Fauquier County School Board. ents have raised concerns about COVID-19 policies, library books, textbooks and teaching about racism and other topics.

Fauquier County is no exception.

Residents sparred recently over the process of choosing and keeping books at school libraries. Erdossy’s wife, Natalie Erdossy, is the vice chair of the Fauquier chapter of Moms for Liberty, a group seeking to remove three books it considers pornographic or sexually violent from the library at Kettle Run High School. The three books are current-

ly under review.

On its webpage, the Fauquier County chapter of Moms for Liberty characterizes itself as a group “dedicated to the survival of America by unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parent rights at all levels of government.”

Josh Erdossy said that although he supports his wife’s efforts to ensure library books are age-appropriate, his biggest priorities lie elsewhere.

Bullying and school safety

Bullying is a top worry for Erdossy. His concern stems from an incident in May at Auburn Middle School. School officials labeled it a “fight” that led the sheriff’s office to pursue action against a student in juvenile court. Unchecked, school bullying creates an unsafe environment

for students that can lead to “something much more heinous,” Erdossy said.

One way to reduce bullying is a national program called WATCH D.O.G.S., Erdossy said. The program focuses on helping fathers prevent violence by being unobtrusive presences in schools and being positive role models for kids. He urges all parents to spend time in their children’s schools.

Reversing COVID learning losses

When schools were remote or hybrid due to COVID-19, students fell behind academically and socially across the country. Erdossy said he doesn’t blame teachers or the school division for these losses.

Classes for multilingual students change lives, one student at a time

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Before Dalila Villatoro began taking classes at Warrenton Baptist Church’s ESL Ministry to improve her English language skills, simple tasks such as talking to her young son’s teacher or helping with homework were frustrating and difficult. Language was a barrier she smacked into regularly.

Now, the native Spanish speaker has gained the confidence to open a cleaning business, and she plans to return to the Warrenton Baptist Church ESL classes when they start up again in a few weeks. Villatoro has been in the U.S. since 2001, but between family responsibilities and a work schedule that at times included three jobs, she did not have much time to hone her English language skills beyond what she picked up at work.

“I was a beginner because I was speaking, but I didn’t know that I was not pronouncing well,” Villatoro, 42, said. She recommends the class to others who want to improve their English language skills. “They can come to enjoy (the classes) and have a better future and better communication.”

The interdenominational ESL classes are growing, with more students signing up, and the need for volunteers is growing along with it, said Elaine DesLauriers, ESL director. “The reason we started this is there are not many options for students wishing for language instruction” in Warrenton, she said. “Our mission is to improve the lives of students, so building English is the building block for doing that.”

While most of the students are native Spanish speakers, the classes are for all people who speak English as a second language and seek to improve their English skills, DesLauriers said.

More than 40 students registered for the 2021-22 school year fall and spring semesters, DesLauriers said.

The classes cost $40 per semester, which helps defray curriculum costs.

All staff members, from teachers to childcare providers, are volunteers.

Right now, the need for volunteers

There’s strength in people working together to build a better, brighter community.

A teaching background is helpful for volunteer instructors. “We have a lot of former teachers, and they’re a really good source of instructors,” she said. Teachers and other volunteers do not need to be bilingual to teach, help with daycare or participate in other ESL activities. The classes are taught in English.

People who register for the classes will be evaluated for knowledge of written and oral English. The program will offer four or five levels of instruction, depending on each student’s needs. “We are not a onesize-fits-all organization,” DesLouriers said. No class has more than 12 students. and every class has two teachers. Free childcare is available.

Students who have been in the classes come from a variety of countries, including El Salvador, Honduras, Columbia, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico and the Republic of Cameroon.

Villatoro can’t say enough about the classes she has taken. When she came to the U.S. from Guatemala in 2001, she had only one thing on her mind — a better life for her children, who were ages 5 and 3 at the time.

She left them behind with family to undertake a dangerous journey by

The ESL classes have been a huge help to her. “I can see in myself a big difference,” she said.

She is paying it forward by helping others in the community. For example, she has helped other Spanish speakers at appointments with doctors who do not speak Spanish.

Villatoro is proud that her 6-yearold son is growing up bilingual. He sometimes corrects her English because children learn new languages faster than adults.

Kettle Run High School’s Model UN prepares grad to seize opportunities Academic sport helps Hazen Griffin to go far, starting with Helsinki

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Hazen Griffin, 18, spent all four years of high school playing the role of a United Nations delegate attempting to solve difficult world problems, like climate change or peace, from the perspectives and viewpoints of leaders from other countries.

His experiences with Model UN fueled Griffin’s ambitions to see the world and make a difference. The 2022 Kettle Run graduate recently returned from a visit to Helsinki, where he attended a corporate retreat for the Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation, an independent Finnish organization that works to prevent and resolve conflicts through dialogue and mediation.

“He is following his dreams,” his mother, Stacie Griffin, said. “I hope

Kettle Run High School graduate Hazen Griffin every parent is encouraging their child to follow their dreams. That is, to us, what’s most important.”

The Model UN at Kettle Run is not just any high school Model UN. Best Delegate, an organization that

provides Model UN workshops and summer programs, named the Kettle Run club one of the seven best 202122 high school Model UN Clubs in the world. Griffin was president of the Kettle Run club. Members of Model UN clubs meet with other clubs at conferences organized by high schools, universities and other organizations.

In addition, Best Delegate recognized: Chad Wright, KRHS history and social studies teacher, as one of the six best Model UN advisers worldwide for the 2021-22 academic year.

A KRHS program called “All Are Welcome,” which encourages students from other Fauquier County schools to attend the Kettle Run Model UN club, was one of three Best High School Model UN Projects for the same academic year. Wright and Griffin started the program.

Although the Model UN club at Kettle Run offered Griffin many opportunities to hone his public speaking and research skills and taught him to

look for solutions to seemingly intractable world problems, the most useful skill he learned was how to network.

“The biggest thing I learned from Model UN was how important it is to make connections and meet new people,” he said. Those networking skills helped him in Helsinki. “I’ve been meeting with all sorts of different people,” he said after he returned to Warrenton for a few months. “It has been really helpful to learn what they are up to and what they do.”

Griffin gets phone numbers and email addresses and follows people he meets on social media to help create connections. He has an interest in politics and history but is not yet sure what he wants to study in college. He is taking a gap year to travel. He chose Helsinki because his family has ties to Finland.

His best advice to others is this: “I would tell people to focus on what they want to do and not what other people think of them.”

Shopping center with grocery store proposed at U.S. 15/29 and Route 605 SHOPPING, from page 1 “This is a great example of a commercial activity looking to locate in a service district,” said Center District Supervisor Chris Granger, referring to the county’s comprehensive plan and its goal to concentrate development in a few small areas of the county. “Additionally, it would provide residents with another option to shop locally without traveling out of the county,” Granger said.

Consumer spending in Fauquier County sharply increased during the pandemic and is still sig-

nificantly above its pre-pandemic level, according to sales tax data.

Public meetings on the proposal, which is formally in the “pre-application” phase, have not been scheduled. The now-vacant land is currently zoned for residential development with up to four homes per acre, and county supervisors will have to rezone the land for commercial use and grant a special exception permit and a comprehensive plan amendment if the current proposal is to move forward. The developer has also initiated a traffic study as part of the application.

Costco was the last business to express interest in the property, but negotiations to bring that store to the area fell apart in 2016. Then, a Costco representative “said that Fauquier County was just ‘too expensive’ and that even with water and sewer provided free of charge, there were too many other issues, including the requirement of an upgraded building, which just made this market too costly,” according to a 2016 email written by then-Fauquier County Economic Development Director Miles Friedman.

Chris Granger to step down from board of supervisors GRANGER, from page 1 AWS has a pending Town of Warrenton zoning permit application for a data center that has faced fierce opposition from some residents and activist groups. While county supervisors have no authority over the town permitting process — or the State Corporation Commission’s routing approval process for Dominion Energy transmission lines to power the proposed facility — Granger said Aug. 4 that he wants to avoid any appearance of conflict.

If he stayed on as a supervisor, “I could state my conflicts and say, ‘[Schaeffer] works for Amazon. I can’t vote on this,’” he said. But, he added, “The board is going to have a lot of conversations over the next 18 months about the data center industry. In my mind, taking part in any of those conversations is a conflict.”

Granger said he consulted legal counsel about Schaeffer’s new position and observed many discussions about conflicts of interest related to other supervisors during his 10 years on the board.

“Clearly, when she transitioned to the private sector, I researched and vetted out my conflicts, and by the letter of the law I don’t have conflicts,” Granger said, “but for me as an individual, I don’t want there to be any question.”

An AWS representative confirmed Thursday that Schaeffer was hired by the company in late July. “[T]he company takes compliance with laws very seriously and has a robust process in place for screening for possible conflicts of interest,” the representative wrote in an email.

Schaeffer could not be reached for comment.

Granger was first elected in 2011 to represent the Center District, which includes the Town of Warrenton and its outskirts. Fellow supervisors have since chosen him as board chairman three times: in 2016, and again in 2021 and 2022. He works as a professional division chief in Prince William County’s fire department and is a U.S. Army veteran.

The remaining four members of the board have control over the process of appointing an interim Center District representative and could make an appointment as early as next week at the board’s regular monthly meeting. A special election could be held as early as May 2023. Supervisors must petition the court to hold a special election, and a judge must sign off on the plan before a special election can take place.

‘If he changes his mind, I’d be thrilled’

Some of Granger’s fellow board supervisors expressed dismay at his decision to resign and said that Schaeffer’s job would not affect Granger’s ability to represent his constituents.

“I would support him 100% to stay on the board. It’s a loss to the community,” Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel (Marshall District) said Aug. 4. “We’re very good about understanding where our conflicts of interest are,” she said, adding that Granger was very up-front with her about Schaeffer’s new job and the potential implications for his elected position. “It’s just unfortunate, very unfortunate,” she said. “If he changes his mind, I’d be thrilled.”

“The board is going to have a lot of conversations over the next 18 months about the data center industry. In my mind, taking part in any of those conversations is a conflict.”

CHRIS GRANGER Center District Supervisor

Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District) implied in a text message that opposition specifically to the AWS data center proposal may have contributed to Granger’s decision to step down. “I’m sorry that a group of folks have made attacks on his character. They obviously have no clue who he is or what he’s about,” he wrote Aug. 4.

“Chris was a total stranger until I started following the board with intentions of seeking office,” said Butler, who was first elected in 2015. “We have not only worked together but we have become friends. … I’ll miss his guidance and leadership, and the county is losing a damn good supervisor!”

McDaniel noted that she, Butler and Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) were each first elected in 2015; Granger and Holder Trumbo (Scott District) were the only incumbents. Granger was welcoming and helpful to the new supervisors during their first year, McDaniel said, which was also Granger’s first stint as board chairman. “He was a great mentor during that time. He was a great leader,” she said.

Gerhardt wrote in a text message Aug. 4 that he “was disappointed and saddened to hear Chris is resigning. He’s been a great asset for Center District and Fauquier. The county is losing a strong, committed and informed leader.”

‘We were going to be here anyway’

In an Aug. 4 interview, Granger emphasized that Schaeffer’s new job was not the sole impetus for stepping down, and that he had no intentions to run for a fourth term.

In fact, he hadn’t intended on running for a third term.

He was promoted to his current role in the Prince William fire department in 2019, the same year his seat was up for election. His new role meant he was returning to working 24-hour shifts, and, he said, “I kind of had this fundamental belief that staying in office more than eight years was not something I was looking to do.”

Though he said that he encouraged others to run for the seat, no one else stepped forward. “I had the choice of not running — and some kind of strange situation unfolding — or just saying, ‘this is it,’” meaning his third term would be his last.

“And I made it very clear at that time: This is it.”

Between his responsibilities at his day job and his duties as board chairman, Granger said that his work week typically exceeds 80 hours. “At this point in my career … it definitely leaves very little time for a personal life,” he said.

“I was already struggling in between the fire department and the board in this term,” Grang-

er said. “I think it’s fair to say we were going to be here [announcing that I won’t seek re-election] anyway because of my work, even if [Schaeffer] hadn’t changed careers.”

Prioritizing schools and first responders

Granger first moved to Warrenton in 2006 and became interested in local issues through debates about funding for schools and fire and rescue services, he said. He pointed to progress in those areas as some of the board’s most significant accomplishments since he was first elected — especially the funding for the 2013 renovation and expansion of Fauquier High School and the expansion of the county’s professional fire and rescue roster from 49 to 151.

Similar projects are in the works today. Supervisors and school board members decided in 2020 to renovate and expand Taylor and Cedar Lee middle schools. Construction at Cedar Lee is expected to be complete by the start of the 2023-2024 school year, and the project at Taylor will begin after that.

“It took a lot longer than I thought to lick the middle school renovation, ... but it’s well on its way,” Granger said. “It’s got a path and it’s going to happen. I’m overjoyed to see that happen.”

Funding for the Central Sports Complex, opened in 2020, took longer, but he cited the project’s realization as a bright spot in his decade-long tenure. “From the time we picked it up as a priority, and we finally decided to fund it and build — ... it was eight years of the 10 ½ years [I spent on the board],” Granger said, noting that the second phase of construction will be funded next year, bringing bathrooms and irrigation to the complex along with lights at some of the fields. “If you’d asked me 10 years ago if we’d ever have lit youth sports fields in Fauquier County, I think people would’ve laughed at you,” Granger said.

He also praised the county’s service-district plan, which concentrates most residential, commercial and industrial growth in small districts while the vast majority of remaining land is zoned for rural and agricultural uses. “Overall, I think the most enjoyable thing has been — I’ve always been a proponent that the conservation and the agricultural interests in this county can co-exist with people like me, who live in Warrenton — in a service district — and commute out for their jobs,” he said.

Construction of a central library, included in the county’s current five-year capital spending plan, should be a priority for the board in the short term, Granger said. “An investment in a library is an investment [in something] that the community uses.”

In a letter to fellow supervisors, Granger also urged them to encourage commercial development, thereby expanding the tax base for funding permanent pay increases for public school teachers and addressing a $77 million maintenance backlog in school buildings. “We have made strides in renovating our aging schools, but still have much more to do,” Granger wrote.

“Fauquier continues to be an engaging place to live, Granger concluded. “To have had some small part in this evolution is something that I will always be thankful and proud of.”

Fauquier Times | August 10, 2022

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What can we learn from Loudoun about data centers?

Fauquier and Warrenton residents must speak up and reject approval of the Amazon Data Center on Blackwell Road and oppose Dominion Energy’s plans to build high-capacity transmission lines along our historic and scenic roadways for this inappropriate data center development.

Our neighbor, Loudoun County, has long encouraged nearly unbridled development of data centers, but it is now having second thoughts. We should learn from Loudoun’s experience.

Despite a decade of explosive development, making Loudoun the data center capital of the world, its supervisors are warning residents of a tight budget next year and possibly higher taxes.

Today, Loudoun is trying to curb future data center development, especially in rural areas and along Route 7, the gateway to Leesburg, Loudoun’s historic county seat. Dominion also recently announced constraints on delivering power for data center growth in Loudoun, although major transmission lines already crisscross much of the county.

Meanwhile, Fauquier and Warrenton, along with Prince William

and Culpeper counties, may be too eager to avail themselves of the tax revenue benefits associated with data centers, while ignoring the costs they impose on their communities.

It appears that instead of confining data center development to the industrial areas set aside for it in Vint Hill and Remington, Fauquier and Warrenton might be willing to allow Amazon to build anywhere landowners are willing to sell to the highest bidder, including mixed use and historic areas.

As Dominion ratepayers, we will be paying for ugly transmission lines along our historic gateways and neighborhoods to feed data centers’ voracious, fossil-fuels appetite.

The idea of burying the power lines is likely a mirage. It would be unprecedented for the State Corporation Commission to approve placing underground the entire high-capacity power line and for Amazon, rather than tax and rate payers, to absorb the cost.

Where is the strategic study and public input on Fauquier and Warrenton’s future with data centers?

To learn from Loudoun’s data

The photographers of the Fauquier Times capture unique moments in time -- a final game-winning goal, the faces of the Homecoming king and queen, a child’s joy at their first parade -- in short, the joy of victory and the agony of defeat.

We are giving readers the opportunity to

center experience, Fauquier and Warrenton need to: • Follow our comprehensive plans, rather than “spot zone/rezone” for scattered data centers (“mixed use” in the comp plans does not include data centers); • Protect scenic gateways and roadways that do not have the power infrastructure to sustain data centers; • Limit our dependence on data centers for tax revenues; • Independently analyze estimated data center tax revenues based on the actual landlords and tenants; • Adopt modern, data center-specif-

ic building standards that address high-quality design, environmental sustainability and proximity to residential and retail areas; and • Reject pressure to rezone and permit data center development in a scattershot and inappropriate manner.

Only by learning from Loudoun’s past and having a transparent, public discussion can Fauquier and Warrenton thoughtfully consider their futures and control data center developments, rather than be controlled by them.

SILVERNALE, PANCIONE ARE 2022 FAUQUIER TIMES HIGHLAND SCHOOL ATHLETES OF THE YEAR Star catcher Garrett Pancione will go down in history as one of the greatest baseball players in Highland history. He was state Player of the Year, helped the Hawks win the 2022 VISAA Division 2 title and will play at Radford. He’s 2022 Fauquier Times Highland Boys Athlete of the Year.

Juliana Silvernale put up monster stats and won two state titles during her wonderful girls lacrosse career. The 2022 Fauquier Times Highland School Girls Athlete of the Year will play at York College of Pennsylvania.

Inspired by her older brother Jack, Juliana became a Hawk lacrosse legend

By Abby Zimmardi

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Juliana Silvernale’s intimidating presence on the lacrosse field often left rival goalies wondering from what angle her next goal would come from.

Over her five-year Highland School career, Silvernale scored 145 goals, including an eye-popping 63 as a senior.

The dangerous 5-foot-5 midfielder played an important role in the Hawks’ 2018 and 2019 state championship squads and helped Highland make the state semifinals each of her last two seasons. Coupled with her

contributions in field hockey, Silvernale is 2022 Fauquier Times Highland School Girls Athlete of the Year.

Silvernale, who played Highland lacrosse as an eighth grader, was the Greater Piedmont Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a senior and will play lacrosse at York College of Pennsylvania, an NCAA Division III program located about three hours away.

“I know she’s going to do well, and I can’t wait to see what she does,” said Highland girls field hockey and lacrosse coach Kristen Conques.

Garrett’s meritorious baseball career ends in state championship glory

By Jason S. Rufner

Special to the Fauquier Times

No one knows Highland School’s rise to a baseball state championship better than Garrett Pancione.

The Hawks’ record holder for most games played, Pancione has been a team standout for five years.

This year the catcher closed his career in a blaze of glory. The Radford University recruit was named the VISAA Division II Player of the Year, becoming the first Hawk ever to earn that honor.

He racked up a .333 batting average and posted a .936 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, slamming eight ex-

tra-base hits and knocking in 31 runs.

But nothing tops the way the season ended as the Hawks went 29-2 and vanquished Greenbriar Christian 10-7 to finally claim their first state crown. Pancione tripled off the wall as Highland beat the same team that edged them in the 2021 championship game.

“We finally got it done,” proclaimed Pancione, whose Hawks also lost in the 2020 final. “We stuck together as a team, everyone did their jobs, got a lot of key hits, and our seniors came up big for us.”

Move to Class 3 could boost Falcons’, Cougars’ postseason prospects Reclassification ends playoff matchups with bigger Loudoun County schools

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Traditional local powerhouses like the Fauquier High softball team will make runs at Class 3 championships beginning in 2023-24.

Fauquier and Kettle Run figure to enjoy a competitive advantage by dropping down to the Class 3 level of the Northwestern District starting in 2023-24.

No longer will the Falcons and Cougars run into dominant Class 4 schools from the dreaded Dulles District.

Featuring superior youth feeder programs, Loudoun County schools frequently ended potential Class 4 state tournament runs by FHS and KRHS so quickly that it became demoralizing.

“Competitive-wise, I think it will be beneficial to us,” Fauquier High director of student

activities Mark Ott. “It should help all of our sports, wrestling, football, softball, everybody.”

While Liberty will remain in the Class 4 Northwestern District, Fauquier is now the largest Class 3 member of the Northwestern District, with Kettle Run second. They’re joining a reformulated Class 3 Region B. Facing Class 3 foes could give the powerful Fauquier softball and boys lacrosse squads a less daunting path in region play. Nearby Brentsville, which is solid in many sports, will become an intriguing new district rival in the race to make the Class 3 state tournament.

In football, Kettle Run’s two-time Northwestern District champion team, which has lost at home to lower seeded Dulles schools the past two seasons, figures to also enjoy the move down. In swimming, Kettle Run should be even stronger in the new construct.

As a senior, Garrett Pancione hit .333 with a .936 on-baseplus-slugging percentage. He played five years at Highland and watched the program emerge as one of the best in the state, public or private.

“Garrett, to me, is a legend,” says coach Micah Higgins.

You don’t run on Garrett Pancione: Hawks’ ace catcher will play at Radford PANCIONE, from page 17 Pancione, who is 2022 Fauquier Times Highland School Boys Athlete of the Year, caught all 31 games and threw out 68% of attempted base stealers with a pop time — the time between receiving the ball and getting it to second base — of 1.9 seconds, better than some MLB catchers.

“Garrett, to me, is a legend,” Highland head coach Micah Higgins said. “Great ballplayer, but even better young man. He’ll always be remembered as our leader when we won our first state championship.”

Which sport to focus on?

The solidly built 5-foot-11, 195-pound Pancione played the three traditional sports growing up, with football in the fall, basketball in winter, and baseball in springtime. By the time he’d reached his freshman year, he’d settled on one.

“Highland didn’t offer football, so I stopped playing,” he said. “In basketball, I was only about 5-11, so I had to stop that dream, ya know? So I had to focus on baseball, and it kind of took off.”

Football was Pancione’s first love, and may still be. He dedicates Sundays in autumn to the NFL. “I loved playing football,” said Pancione, who played linebacker and fullback. “I loved tackling.

Me and my older brother were always wrestling, so I felt like it was kind of my calling. I liked hitting people.”

He got into Fauquier Youth Football at age 5, influenced by his father Paul and older brother Gavin, both former Fauquier High players.

Eventually he played travel football with the Fauquier Wolfpack, helping that team win a state title when he was 11.

Around age 10 he picked up basketball at the urging of longtime local coach Pat Brizzi, father of former Highland guard Angelo Brizzi, now playing for Villanova University.

He’d known the younger Brizzi from their time playing youth football together.

“It was mainly to keep me in shape, but I kind of fell in love with it,” said Pancione, a shooting guard.

He fondly recalls being part of a hoops championship in the Warrenton Youth Sports Club when he was 13. “It wasn’t such a serious thing, but I loved being out there with my friends.”

Baseball wins out

Ever since his father enrolled him in T-ball at age 4, Pancione has had an affinity for the diamond.

“I’m a catcher, so I love being involved in every single play,” he said. “You’ve got to be on top of things, call pitches, know what you’re going to do with the ball, stuff like that. I fell in love with the mental side of the game.”

Pancione was a sixth grader when Higgins got his first look at him.

“He made a diving play at third base, got up on his knees, and threw the guy out. I said, ‘Wow, who is this kid?’’’

He came up through Fauquier Babe Ruth Baseball, then at age 9 got into elite travel ball with the Manassas-based Virginia Stars.

“I came from the Fauquier leagues and I was better than pretty much all the kids,” he said.

“Then I started playing with the Stars and all the kids were as good as me, if not better. It was a little shocking. It showed me I needed to start working harder to keep up.”

With the Stars, Pancione traveled as far away as Florida, Alabama, and Arizona for tournaments.

He played first base at first, but transitioned back to catcher at age 12.

Pancione brings a football mentality behind the plate, resolving to block everything and “put your body on the line,” he said.

He describes himself as a “pitcher’s catcher.”

“I love helping my pitchers stay dialed in, keep them in focus,” he said. “My main goal is to make them look good.”

From Highland to the Highlanders

Pancione still lives on the 30-acre farm where he grew up, but he’ll soon relocate to Radford University to play baseball and study business.

Growing up in a rustic environment, with chores and hard work the order of the day, Pancione learned toughness.

“My dad is the hardest working man I’ve ever known. When he’s not at work, he’s outside fixing something,” he said. “He taught me that if you want something, you have to go get it.”

Pancione takes his own blue collar work ethic into the collegiate ranks. He’s already begun on-campus classes and workouts.

“I always wanted to play Division I college baseball,” he said. “Radford is close to home, but

Juliana Silvernale plans to join her brother Jack, 23, in a law enforcement career. Dad Buce is a retired detective and mom Gina an intelligence analyst.

Healing the way it’s meant to be.

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

“I had been experiencing shortness of breath from long-haul COVID and after 5 sessions I was finally able to breathe deeply again. Thanks WOW!”

Silvernale had golden touch as goal scorer SILVERNALE, from page 17

Brotherly influence

Silvernale always looked up to her older brother Jack, a Highland lacrosse star who played at Randolph-Macon College.

“I was dragged to all of my brother’s tournaments and games, and I was just so sick of lacrosse 24/7 from his side, but then when I started playing it, I just fell in love with it,” she said.

Jack, who is over four years older, acknowledges how diligently his sister trains.

“She worked out hard. Always practicing, always asking for me to help her with stuff, and trying to improve and get better so that she could try to one up me,” said Jack, who is training for a career in law enforcement like their father Bruce.

Bruce, a retired detective, recalled Jack doing 30 sit-ups when Jack was 10 and Juliana wanting to copy him. “She whipped out 120 sit-ups, and goes, ‘Is this how you do it?’ And it totally deflated him because she could have kept going. She just got bored and stopped.

It was funnier than heck,” he said.

The siblings used to train in lacrosse together and Jack still gives Juliana drills and sends her videos of trick shots. “Next thing you know, she’ll be doing that in one of the games,” he said.

63 goals as a senior

In lacrosse, Silvernale was an often unstoppable force who tallied 63 goals and eight assists as a senior.

Silvernale also handled many faceoffs for the Hawks. For her career, she totaled 58 assists, a vital job that showed her feistiness and talent. 89 draw controls, 76 ground balls and 30 caused turnovers.

She made all-conference three times and all-state team three times.

“She has this amazing ability to set up plays and set up space for others to get these great goals, and she is just very unselfish in that way,” Conques said. “She gets as much joy from an assist as she does from a goal.”

-Nickname: Jules, but pronounced WHOO–LZ, Julio or just “J.” -Pregame rituals: “The morning of a game day, we always go to Starbucks and get the same drink.

Silvernale showed dedication to her teammates and her craft. “Her ability to think of others in plays as a team and not as an individual, is one of her strengths – probably her strongest strength,” her dad Bruce said. “She has a very keen eye to the field, and she understands multiple steps in the games.”

Silvernale to play at York (Pa.)

HOME SWEET HOME IMPROVEMENTS

SILVERNALE, from page 19 Brother Jack said he thinks Juliana’s selflessness on the field is what helped her stand out to college coaches. “They like to see people that are team players. That’s all she’s ever done is just be a team player through and through,” he said.

Role model

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

Off the field, Silvernale is involved in Morgan’s Message, a group inspired by the suicide of former Kettle Run lacrosse star Morgan Rodgers. It’s aimed at educating and advocating for the mental health of student-athletes.

“Juliana is very passionate. She did what she needed to do to make sure Morgan’s Message was part of Highland, and she really wanted to be part of that and take the lead on that,” said her mother Gina.

Silvernale was captain for both field hockey and lacrosse her senior year and easily gained the respect of her teammates.

“She empowers others [and] inspires them to want to be better, and she doesn’t say it in a way to make anybody feel bad about themselves; she really encourages them to try something new,” Conques said.

Set to play at York

Finding a location to play college women’s lacrosse was not easy, with the pandemic complicating the process.

Another change for Fauquier and Kettle Run is that the Class 3 Northwestern District does not hold district tournaments in any sport.

Instead, the newly reformed league will send all seven members to Region B playoffs in most sports.

For the Falcons’ football program, which hasn’t made the region playoffs since 2014, a playoff spot is virtually guaranteed.

In sports other than football, seeding for 12-team region playoffs will be set by regular season records.

Regional travel could soar

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Travel may be the greatest drawback to the realignments at the regional level, with Liberty adding much longer road trips.

With Fauquier and Kettle Run moving to Class 3, Liberty’s nearest regional venue is Orange County at 33.9 miles, with the four Winchester area schools and Charlottesville and Monticello being between 53 and 69 miles from Bealeton.

The seven other potential regional trips then jump dramatically.

Amherst would be the shortest of those journeys at 111 miles all the way to 210 to Blacksburg.

There may be a remedy for the Eagles’ potentially expensive and time-consuming journeys: dividing

Scoop and score: Juliana Silvernale had 145 career goals as a Hawk Silvernale’s sophomore lacrosse season was lost due to COVID-19, which is usually when the recruitment process begins, and she officially committed to York after her junior year season ended.

She plans on majoring in psychology and hopes to work in law enforcement and do criminal profiling or forensic psychology.

“We know that she’s going to the school that she’s meant to go to,” Gina said. “We’re all so excited for her.”

High School League’s point system, with the number of regional qualifiers still to be determined.

Liberty stays in Class 4

Liberty, which will remain at the district’s Class 4 level along with James Wood, Handley, Millbrook and probably Sherando, will continue district tournaments.

“We will still have tournaments,” Dean Spahr, Liberty’s director of student activities, said last week.

“Class 3 teams don’t because they advance so many to the region.”

Making regions also changes for the Eagles. The smaller Class 4 Northwestern District will have two fewer schools to overcome to advance to the regional level. Plus, Loudoun County’s programs will be in a different region. the far flung region into two more compact pods.

“There could be [two divisions]”, said Dean Spahr, Liberty’s director of student activities. “I hope there is. It would make it much easier.”

Class 3 travel

Travel would not be as daunting for the Falcons and Cougars.

Potential trips are closer, such as Brentsville, Manassas Park and Culpeper, all under 30 miles.

Warren County, Skyline, James Monroe and Meridian lie in the 3040 mile range before the distances jump to 90-95 miles for Goochland, Thomas Jefferson and Armstrong.

Schools also may have to hit the road for one-time regional events in cross county, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, swimming, competition cheerleading and golf.

HORSE BRIEFS TWO VIRGINIA RIDERS NAMED TO U.S. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS SQUAD Local event riders Will Coleman and Lauren Nicholson are headed to the 2022 World Championships in Rome, Italy Sept. 15 to 18. They join three other American riders that qualified for the U.S. three-day eventing team.

Gordonsville-based Coleman rides his 13-yearold Irish Sport Horse gelding Off The Record, with Nicholson, who lives in The Plains, partnering Jackie Mars’ 15-year-old Anglo-Arab gelding, Vermiculus.

Also making the squad are Ariel Grald and Leamore Master Plan, Boyd Martin and Tsetserleg and Tamra Smith with Mai Baum.

Phillip Dutton travels to Italy with Z, owned in part by David and Patricia Vos of Delaplane, as the reserve pair.

Each country can send up to five riders – four team members and one individual. The best three scores will count for the team. The final four selected to represent the U.S. as a team will be confirmed after the first horse inspection at the competition.

Off The Record had two first-place finishes at the four-star level in 2021, one on U.S. soil at the Carolina International and the other at Aachen, Germany. He was sixth at Aachen this year, third at Luhmuhlen, Germany in June.

Vermiculus and Nicholson finished fourth in the five-star at Luhmulen, and placed in the top 15 at the Maryland five-star last year.

School board candidate Josh Erdossy says parents deserve to be heard ERDOSSY, from page 7 Developing a plan to get students up to speed socially and academically is difficult. “I don’t think that’s something I can solve in a year, but that’s something we need to work on.”

Students must be at grade level in English, math and science if they are to succeed in life, but who wants to cut into time for music, art and other classes that enrich kids’ lives? he asked. “It’s not that teachers aren’t focusing on the basics, but is there a way to adjust something to get these scores up, those literacy rates up?”

Adding new curricula around mental health or cyberbullying, as some suggest, may not be the best solution because it means something else must go. Teachers have limited

Rev. Charles Daniel Sinclair, Jr. Rev. Charles Daniel Sinclair, Jr., 91 of Warrenton, Virginia passed away on Tuesday, July 26, 2022. He was born in Washington, D.C. on February 8, 1931, to the late Charles D. Sinclair, Sr., and Nellie J. Gossom Sinclair.

In addition to his parents, Rev. Sinclair was preceded in death by his first wife of 63 years, Carol Melton Sinclair and his son, Stephen Wayne Sinclair.

In his long career as a Baptist Minister, Charles was the pastor of churches in North Carolina and Virginia. After serving as the Pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Arlington, Virginia for 35 years, he joined the North Star Church Network as the Staff Liaison for Rural Churches. He was a member of the Warrenton Baptist Church.

Everyone knew him as Charlie, except his mother who called him Charles Jr. Charlie dedicated his life to serving the Lord. Over his long life, he helped countless people and positively influenced many, both in his work as a pastor, and as a friend. He was devoted to his family; a loving son, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Charlie loved every baby or child he ever encountered and would rarely fail to stop and do something silly to make them smile. He loved animals and birds, he loved the company of many dogs over time and bird seed was frequently on his Christmas list.

Charlie never knew a day without humor. He loved to share jokes that were always corny. He loved to tease and would laugh without restraint when the teasing came back.

Charlie had a beautiful tenor voice and was a member of the Warrenton Chorale for many years. It was very common for him to sing hymns including The Lord’s Prayer and How Great Thou Art during church service, weddings, funerals and special occasions. There was rarely a dry eye listening to Charlie sing. He shared his love of the Lord in this, and countless other ways.

He is survived by his wife, Georgine Rhodes; his children, Jeannette Flax, Edward Sinclair and Marie Dennis; six grandchildren CJ, Jamie, Brian, Ray, Crystal and Megan; and two great grandchildren, Myles and Frankie.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, August 11 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, Virginia.

Henri Joseph Vellmure Henri Joseph Vellmure went to his eternal rest on July 25, 2022. Henri joined his beloved wife Theresa Ann (Tommony) of 73 years who preceded him in death on January 7, 2021.

Henri was born in Denver Colorado on May 13, 1926, to the late Henri Joseph Sr. and Frances (O’Grady) Vellmure. He attended Jesuit parochial school and following High School attended University of Denver for two years. His engineering skills were evident even in his early years when he built his first crystal radio. Mid way through university he decided to pursue a career in the United States Army, where he would spend 20 plus years and retire as a Master Sargent.

While, stationed at Governor’s Island New York he attended a USO dance where he met his future wife. Not long after, they married in NYC on May 18, 1947.

While living in New York their first daughter Mary was born.

Henri was then shipped out to fight in the Korean War, where he would spend approximately 18 months there.

After, returning from the war they spent time stationed in Massachusetts, Virginia, New Jersey, and Georgia where their second daughter Theresa was born.

The Army then decided they needed his skills in Germany so off to Europe the family went. It was quite the adventure since this was taking place during the cold war and the Berlin conflict.

Suitcases were ready and packed including C rations, as the potential for evacuation loomed. But in the quieter times Henri and family traveled all over Europe, including Austria, Italy, and Belgium where they were able to attend the Brussels World Fair.

Henri so loved to travel, and languages came as easy to him as breathing. He could hear someone speak and would pick up the language almost immediately.

Following the end of his tour in Germany he was transferred back to Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. He was assigned to the Hexagon where he worked on a variety of projects including on one of the first main frame computers used during the Vietnam era.

After, Fort Monmouth new orders came in for him to take his family to Taipei Taiwan. While there he oversaw communications for the Army on the island. Not long after arriving in Taiwan the island was hit with the biggest Typhoon in 25 years.

While his family was in a hotel Henri was on top of Gold Mountain watching the island being hit by winds and rain that devastated the island. He later told his family his fear was that they were lost. Fortunately, all survived, and they lived there for another two years.

Henri was transferred back to Fort Monmouth where in 1967 he decided it was time to leave the military and pursue a career in the public sector. That led him to work for Bell Laboratories (AT&T) in Holmdel New Jersey. He was in the Research and Development area where he worked on the beginning of what is now known as fiber optics. He also worked on video phones. He was very proud of the work he did there.

Following a 20-year career at the Labs he retired, and he and Theresa decided to buy an RV and do some traveling until they settled in Lighthouse Point and then Boca Raton, Florida where they lived for over 25 years.

Henri was an active member of the Elks Lodge in Pompano Beach. He held officer positions as Treasurer and Exulted Leader. He obtained lifetime status. During this time, Henri was also greatly involved in the Army 17TH Signal Battalion Retirees Association, serving as webmaster for many years.

Henri and Theresa travelled extensively both in the US and abroad with St. Thomas being a favorite destination. Besides the many charity functions that both he and Theresa were involved in Henri had a passion for woodworking. Every year at Christmas you could always count on a new piece of his Christmas village.

One of the last projects he made was a to scale replica of the Eiffel Tower. He used the same schematic as the original architect. Henri also enjoyed photography, gardening, and genealogy. Even into his 90’s Henri enjoyed painting bird houses to be sold for donations to Alzheimer’s Research.

Henri was a dedicated and loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by his daughters Mary Vellmure of Altoona, Wisconsin, and Theresa Peck (Gary) of Haymarket, Virginia as well as grandchildren Craig Thompson, Stephanie Yohey (Matt) and Gregory Peck (Shea) and greatgrandchildren Devin, Dominic, Carsyn and Paxton Donations in Henri’s honor can be made to Capitol Caring Health.

He was the beloved son of Col. [Ret.] Troy Smith and Adria Smith of Warrenton, Virginia, devoted fiancé to Sarah McCloskey of Georgetown, Texas, and loyal brother to Drew, Caleb, and Emma Smith. He was an adored grandson, nephew, and uncle, a respected soldier, and a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Affectionately called Nick by his friends and family, he was known for his free-spirited easygoing nature, his warm smile, and his ability to make anyone laugh. A significant portion of his life took place in Warrenton, Virginia where he attended Kettle Run High School, class of 2016. He could often be found with his brother Caleb in their favorite green Chevy truck, BRDLDO (“Bardledoo”), walking along creek banks catching fish, driving down Frytown Road, or sitting with friends at Frost Diner.

In 2020, he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania where he was a member of ROTC and met the love of his life.

Following graduation, Nick was commissioned as a Field Artillery Officer in the United States Army. During his Army career, he was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas with the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. His awards include the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Ribbon, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon.

In Nick’s free time, he enjoyed working on cars, hunting and fishing, spending time with his friends, and eating ice cream. He also loved visiting Georgetown, Texas where he proposed to Sarah.

It was so easy to love Nick, and it will be impossible to forget him. His loved ones find great peace in knowing his soul has found rest and that we will see him again.

A celebration of his life will be held at Warrenton Baptist Church, 123 Main Street, Warrenton, VA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Nicholas’ memory to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation (https://t2t.org/donate).

SELECTING A CASKET

Sometimes people leave specific instructions about the type of casket they prefer to be buried in. But if your loved one does not leave any helpful hints, how do you go about selecting one? Try to choose a casket that reflects the personality of the deceased. You will want to consider the appearance and the materials from which the casket is constructed, as well as its features, such as lid type, interior fabric, memory drawers, casket corners, and lid inserts. Be aware that funeral homes are required to show you a price list before showing you caskets.

A funeral is a meaningful event that can help ease the pain of separation that naturally accompanies death. It is a time of sharing good memories and experiences with family and friends. It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for a life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner. To learn about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

“When my casket is being carried to the grave, leave my hands hanging outside. For empty-handed I came into this world, and empty-handed I shall go!”

—Alexander the Great

The proposal is to amend Zoning Ordinance Article 3 Zoning Districts and Map, subsection 3-4.11.6 Use Limitations within the CBD, Article 7 Off-Street Parking and Loading and Article 9-4, Apartment Buildings Special Regulations. The proposed amendment to Article 3 would allow for an increased apartment density up to 50 dwelling units per acre within the CBD on parcels less than one-half acre.

The CBD currently allows for up to 25 apartment units per acre by right. Possible changes to Article 7 include requirements for on-site parking and fees in lieu of parking. The proposed amendment to Article 9 would require that any rehabilitation of a building for apartment density within the CBD would have an exterior design that is compatible with the Historic District. The amendment would apply to all parcels within the CBD. Applicant is Malcolm Alls.

Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (ZOTA) 2022 – 2 to amend Article 3 as it relates to property maintenance enforcement within the Historic District.

The proposed amendment to Article 3 clarifies the approval process for demolition of buildings, listing specific items that are considered demolition by neglect, and procedures for abatement of violations. The amendment would apply to all parcels within the Historic Overlay District. This text amendment was initiated by the Warrenton Town Council.

Zoning Map Amendment/Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Special Use Permit 2022-01 Waterloo Junction the Applicant, Farrish Properties & Acquisitions, LLC, is seeking to rezone three (3) properties identified as GPIN 6984-18-3915, 6984-18-2709, 6984-18-2905 from R-15 to Commercial as well as seek a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to redesignate from residential to commercial in the Broadview Character District.

The applicant is seeking waivers and modifications to reduce the five (5) acre SUP requirement, increase density, reduce front yard setback for future retail, and reduce minimum lot area and width of town homes.

Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) 2021-01/Special Use Permit (SUP) 2021-01 Harris Teeter Fuel Station – Public Hearing held open from the July 19, 2022 meeting. Applicant requested it to be postponed until the September 20, 2022 meeting.
