How the Fauquier Education Farm turns its 10 acres into a bounty for food banks while supporting local farmers

Parents and kids may best know the Fauquier Education Farm as a place where young people travel on school trips to learn about growing crops and packaging produce for food banks. But the volunteering — and learning — extends well beyond children’s activities.

The nonprofit farm is a major source of support for local food banks and is on track to deliver 100,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to them this year.

But it also does everything from inviting volunteers to help with the harvest and learn about raising crops to teaching aspiring commercial farmers what they need to know to get started.

The farm spans 10 acres and aims to teach anyone who wants to know more about agriculture through demonstrations, workshops, traditional classroom instruction and hands-on learning. The farm hosts about 20 workshops throughout the year, demonstrating techniques for everything from growing crops to making mulch to flower garden-

ing as well as how to cut flowers for a bouquet.

Janelle Sutliff, an educator for a post-high school special education program called Transitions, said the education farm helps her students stay engaged in their community.

Spurred by an increasing number of power-hungry data centers, the keepers of the electric grid in Northern Virginia are embarking on an ambitious, multi-billion-dollar plan to bring more electricity to the data center zones while shoring up other parts of transmission system.

This plan far exceeds the handful of new transmission lines that Dominion executives have been discussing with community leaders and activists in Prince William County. Some of the proposed projects are mammoth, and some contain surprises, including the resurrection of transmission lines opponents thought they had killed, risking the re-ignition of longfought battles.

Before she brought students to the farm, Sutliff worked as a volunteer, helping the farm harvest crops for the food banks they supply.

The farm started in 2010 as a project of the Fauquier Community Action Committee, which aimed to turn around a struggling community garden with the hope that it could supply fresh fruits and vegetables to local low-income families while also teaching people about farming. It’s now supported by fundraisers, grants and other gifts. The land under the farm is owned by Fauquier County and rented by the nonprofit for $1 per year.

Alwyngton Manor, a circa 1855 home just off Falmouth Street in Warrenton, was sold for an undisclosed price prior before an Aug. 23 auction.

Alwyngton Manor sells prior to auction

Price, new owners, future use all under wraps

By Hunter Savery

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Warrenton’s historic Alwyngton Manor was sold last week ahead of an auction originally scheduled for Aug. 23. As of Tuesday, the details of the transaction had not yet been disclosed, including the sales price, the name of the new owner and the plans for the 168-year-old property.

Recently, the 11-bedroom home has been open to the public as an event space reserved for weddings and other gatherings.

While the origins of the property are murky, it undoubtedly carries a storied history.

Records for the home date back to 1889, though local tradition holds that the house was built in 1855 and was once owned by Warrenton native John Quincy Marr, the first Confederate soldier killed in the American Civil War. Later, the property was owned by the Nesbit family. The house even had its own train station on the Calverton and Warrenton line in the early 1900s. The station is recorded as having been in the front garden of the property. A member of the Nesbit family was a member of President William McKinley’s administration and was carried by train to and from the house each weekday.

The imperial Russian diplomat Konstantin Dmitrievich Nabokov spent the fall of 1907 and 1908 at Alwyngton. Nabokov was the uncle of famed novelist Vladimir Nabokov.

The elder Nabokov had served as part of the Russian delegation to the 1905 Treaty of Portsmouth, brokered

by President Theodore Roosevelt, which ended the Russo-Japanese War. It was after signing this treaty that Nabokov first came to Alwyngton with Nesbit.

The last owner to live at Alwyngton was Edward J. Buell Sr., former

president and CEO of the Niagara Wire Weaving Company of Canada.

After his passing in 1989, the estate became the event venue it is today.

Alwyngton measures a stately 10,098 square feet and features four ballrooms, two commercial-grade kitchens on the first floor and additional full kitchens on the second and third floors, among other amenities.

There is room for the whole family with 11 bedrooms and eight and a half bathrooms. The home sits on an approximately 4.2-acre lot on Falmouth Street.

Alwyngton last sold in 2013 for $1.3 million and at the time of sale was producing $13,500 per month in rental income according to the property listing.

Bidding was slated to start at $600,000 for the estate. Zillow shows the property under contract for $1,650,000. In 2022, the tax assessment for Alwyngton was $1,380,800.

Tray Allen, the realtor handling the sale, declined to comment on the pending deal.

POWER, from page 1 An example is a new version of the Wheeler-to-Warrenton transmission line that was dropped last year amid opposition to the Amazon data center approved for Warrenton. A version of that project can be found among the list of possibilities, although its proposed route, while not finalized, has shifted.

The project is among hundreds of miles of new 230- and 500-kilovolt transmission lines, the electricity-carrying backbones of the industry, crisscrossing large swaths of Virginia as well as Maryland and into West Virginia. It plans for new and improved substations and will likely require utilities to obtain new land and rights-of-way and demolish old power towers to make bigger ones.

The electric companies say the work is necessary to maintain reliable power to homeowners and businesses, as data centers demand more and more power from the grid. But the plans also portend angst, opposition and legal battles.

“This is impacting the entire region and all because of Loudoun and Prince William counties approving data center after data center,” said Karen Sheehan, director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, which is battling what it sees as some ill-advised data center projects.

She noted that ratepayers across the region will pay for the improvements.

The roots of these developments lie in recent forecasts that show the power needs of Northern Virginia data centers growing by 7,500 megawatts by 2028 — a growth of about 35% over the 2021 load. One megawatt is enough to power about 250 households, so the additional power needed is equal to that of about 1.9 million households. For perspective, that’s more than half of the 3.6 million households in Virginia.

This spring, PJM Interconnection, which operates the grid across 13 Mid-Atlantic states, sought solutions from transmission contractors to increase capacity, reduce stress at key points and to import more energy from outside Northern Virginia.

As a result, PJM is considering 72

“PJM can assemble a broad solution from among the competing proposals, some of them comprehensive, some not. We may use part of one proposal and part of another,” wrote PJM spokesman Jeff Shields in an email.

Shields said a “subset” of the projects would be built, but he couldn’t say how many. Still, with all of the proposals totaling more than $51 billion, the cost could easily run into the billions even if only a fraction is built.

It also appears likely that even more transmission projects are in the offing. Soon after PJM closed the bidding on the 72 proposals, it opened another bidding window to address needs outside data center alley. As Dominion Energy and PJM have forecast continuing growth in data center demand, PJM can be expected to invite more data-center driven solutions in the future.

The urgent need for additional power became clear last year when new forecasting tools showed the system that delivers power in danger of falling behind. In mid-2022, Dominion had to tell new data center customers it could not supply all the power they were requesting. It cut deals to supply less at first, and more later.

The new proposals being considered would add or beef up transmission from Pennsylvania to southern Virginia and from West Virginia to the Atlantic Ocean. Some have a high impact on Loudoun, Prince William and Fauquier counties — which host the data center alley that is the cause of most of the forecast power demand. More than 40 of the proposals feature new 500-kilovolt lines, and 45 involve acquiring land or right-of-way, according to an analysis by the Coalition to Protect Prince William County.

Most would be completed by 2027, but a few stretches into 2030.

PJM’s Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee (TEAC) will analyze the proposals and make recommendations at its meetings in October and November, and the board will decide which projects to pursue early next year. Those chosen in Virginia would be subject to approval by local authorities and the State Corporation Commission.

Projects with local impacts

Still, some of the proposals are huge. One project, dubbed Proposal 129, is a $3.1 billion offer from Dominion to build and enhance power lines and substations in Loudoun, Prince William and Fauquier counties and other counties to the south.

It combines six separate proposals into one to deal with a projected “high data center load scenario.”

The plan includes a new 500-kilovolt transmission line from a substation near Ashburn that crosses the Potomac River to a major substation near Adamstown, Maryland — an area that is fast becoming another data center node. It includes upgrading a 500-kilovolt line that runs from Ashburn 70 miles south to the North Anna nuclear power station in Louisa County. It includes various new lines and upgrades in Loudoun’s data center alley and a second 500-kilovolt line from Lexington, Virginia, to a substation near Waynesboro, about 45 miles northeast.

The project also includes re-building a 500-kilovolt line through Fauquier County that runs 47 miles from Front Royal to Morrisville. To re-wire the line, 275 towers would have to be demolished and replaced and new high-efficiency cable installed, the proposal states. The cost of this segment alone would be $311.9 million.

Another proposal from Dominion (Proposal 711), has 42 parts that include upgrading lines and substations as well as building a new 500-kilovolt line from the North Anna power station through Spotsylvania County and on to Morrisville and Vint Hill in Fauquier County ending at a substation just west of Dulles International Airport. The cost would be more than $1.3 billion.

135-mile transmission line from Lynchburg to Remington

Transource Energy, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP), which serves 11 states, proposes a 17-part upgrade (Proposal 904) that includes a 735-kilovolt line from a substation called Joshua Falls near Lynchburg to a new substation near Remington. It would pull power from AEP’s 735 kilovolt system in the Ohio Valley. The route crosses 11 counties, including Culpeper and Fauquier, before arriving at its destination, where it ties into 500-kilovolt lines. The 135-mile route crosses the James River three times, eight other rivers and multiple high-voltage transmission lines. It would require 546 suspension towers. The 135mile segment alone is pegged at $755.4 million.

Pageland Lane 500

Several of the proposals show new 500-kilovolt lines running in proximity to the Prince William Digital Gateway, located just northwest of the Manassas National Battlefield Park, in lanes that appear to be outside the existing Pageland Lane power corridor. One project (Proposal 325) proposes a new 500-kilovolt line running south from Brambleton, a substation west

“Towers will be placed outside of wetlands, streams, known threatened and endangered species habitat and cultural/historical areas and floodplains to the greatest extent possible,” the project description says.

New Wheeler-to-Warrenton route

Fauquier residents may be surprised to see that two proposals (904 and 977), include an 8.8-mile stretch of 230-kilovolt lines from Warrenton to the Wheeler substation near Vint Hill. Once discussed as a way to send power to the Amazon data center being planned for Blackwell Road, Dominion dropped the idea in the face of strong opposition from citizens and businesses whose land it would traverse.

Now, it is back on the table, connecting to new or upgraded lines from the Loudoun County line south to Morrisville in Fauquier County.

According to documents, it would exit the current Warrenton substation on Old Auburn Road and head northeast to the Wheeler substation.

The line would cost between $36 and $38 million.

Asked about this segment, Dominion spokesman Steve Precker noted that the proposal came from Transource and not Dominion, which was well aware of community sentiment over the line. Asked if PJM might select it to be built, Precker said it’s up to PJM. But a PJM spokesman declined to speculate on what proposals might be chosen.

West Virginia PATH

Another zombie project (part of Proposal 23) is a transmission line from West Virginia’s Fort Martin Power Station, a coal burning plant near Morgantown owned by First Energy. The line would run 150 miles east to a major substation in Maryland and then cross the Potomac River to data center alley.

A similar line, known then as the Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline or PATH, was proposed

by PJM in 2009 but was opposed by citizens who argued that it was not necessary. “The premise was reliability, but we showed that it was not needed,” said former PATH opponent Keryn Newman, who lives near Shepherdstown, West Virginia.

State regulatory boards in West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia agreed, and in 2012, the PJM board withdrew the project from its plans.

Newman was also involved in a six-year legal battle to overturn PJM’s attempt to have ratepayers pay for the public relations battle over the PATH line. Her group finally won.

She said what galls her is that the main benefit of data centers — their tax revenue — doesn’t benefit her county, yet the cost of the transmission lines is borne by all ratepayers.

“The thing is, I’m going to pay for these lines to fuel the data centers and what do I get out of it? I get another transmission line to look at.

And my husband gets to fish under a second one,” she said.

Silver Branch Brewery aims for gemütlichkeit in Warrenton

By Aimee O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

While there is no direct English translation for the German word gemütlichkeit, you know when you’re in one. And that’s exactly what the owners of Silver Branch Brewery are trying to achieve when they open their doors next month.

“Gemütlichkeit, inspired by the beer writer Rander Mosher, is our goal of creating the perfect atmosphere to offer people a great beer, in the proper glass, at the right temperature,” says Silver Branch marketing director Chris Bonnell.

Silver Branch started renovation work on the building that was once the home of Wort Hog Brewery, at 56 E. Lee St. in downtown Warrenton, in June. Its grand opening fest is scheduled for the last weekend in September, from Friday, Sept. 29 through Sunday, Oct. 1. Everyone is welcome to enjoy their gemütlichkeit, which will include a special menu, European beers, live music, games and more, Bonnell said.

This is the second location of the Silver Springs, Maryland-based brewery for owners Brett Robison and Christian Layke, Silver Branch launched in March 2019 with a nod to the European style of brewing beer. Both Robison and Layke spent time sampling and learning about different brewing styles during their travels abroad.

Layke spent 10 years as a commercial brewer and has visited Europe, Africa and Asia, in addition to different parts of the U.S., tasting and examining different beers and brewing methods. Robison was a general manager for Black Restaurant Group before opening the brewery.

“Christian’s and Brett’s forward thinking helped us stay one step ahead during COVID, and through quality products we gained a great following,” Bonnell said. “Once people love a brewery, they remain loyal, and we are grateful to have such a supportive community.”

4Js Farm Brewery aims to be a community hub

By Aaron Wright

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

From the outside, 4Js Farm and Brewery is exactly what it sounds like: a brewery that grows its own ingredients and makes its own beer.

However, what lies beneath the suds is a couple’s desire to become a community hub for their neighbors.

The idea for the new brewery, which just opened in July, came when Jonathan and Jessica Waldron moved from Clifton to their 48-acre property in March 2020. Shortly thereafter, the pandemic hit, and they got to building their small-scale farm.

A year later, upon realizing that small-scale farming wasn’t profitable, the Waldrons started talking with the Virginia Cooperative Extension to come up a ways to build a community and provide for themselves financially.

“We wanted to have a space that is also family friendly. Like we have small kids. We wanted to create a good environment for people to come and have fun and relax and enjoy themselves responsibly, but also let kids be kids,” said Jonathan Waldron, a full-time farmer and operator of the brewery.

From this inception, 4Js, named after Jonathan, Jessica and their kids, Julieanne and Jamison, was established in 2020. After three years of construction, planning, and some pushback from their neighbors over concerns about disturbing the peace,

the brewery opened on July 1.

“It’s not (open) 24/7 and all hours of the night, and we’re not being loud or irresponsible because it is our front yard. I mean, our house is right up at the top (of the hill),” Jonathan Waldron said. “We take great pride and respect and responsibility for what we have.”

Aesthetically, the bar and inside dining has a country-family-diner style. Jonathan Waldron milled the bar from oak and black walnut trees that fell from a storm. The Waldrons also managed to fill a lot of their decor

from antiquing and repurposing metal from abandoned houses.

“Really trying to reuse, repurpose and give things a new life,” Jessica Waldron said. “We’re trying to be environmentally conscious as well.”

In creating their beers, the Waldrons grow and use their own hops, with the spent grain from the beer going toward animal feed.

With a lot on his plate — running a farm, brewery and carving out family time — Jonathan Waldron hired Kirk Hurd, a brewer from

the West Coast, to help with their two-barrel system. All of their beer is brewed on property, and a lot of their ingredients have been sourced from local farms in their area.

“Our peaches and cream beer has been topped with peaches from a couple local orchards,” Jessica Waldron said.

One of their flavors uses honey from Mike Wilson, a beekeeper on Cedar Run. In keeping with its desire to build community, 4Js has a honey IPA that also helps the local beekeeper.

“It’s also something that he’s proud of. He’s like, ‘Look, I was a part of this. This is my honey in this beer.’ He was super stoked, and the feedback on that has been great.”

Beyond beer, the Waldrons also sell local produce from their gardens. In addition, they host vendors who sell their goods at the Warrenton Farmers Market on Saturday afternoons.

The Waldrons say their entire operation — ­ from the items they’ve reused in their décor to their locally sourced ingredients and family activities like board games and a bounce house — are examples of their community-oriented business ethos.

“We’re part of this community.

We want to make sure we’re doing what we’re doing … and using our resources and what we have in the community to help do some good,” Jonathan Waldron said.

Long-awaited beer garden slated to open this week in Occoquan

By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer

About a year and a half past its expected opening — but just in time for Labor Day weekend — a new beer garden is set to open in Occoquan.

“We are really, really excited,” said Jeremy Barber, who is the force behind the Mill Street Draft Garden along with his partner and brother-in-law, Justus Frank. The business is slated to open Wednesday, Aug. 30 at 3 p.m.

“Relieved is the best way to say it,” Barber said.

“I’ve been asked almost every week recently when they are going to open, so I know there is a lot of interest and excitement,” said Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta.

Most of the delay was due to the Prince William County permitting process, the partners said.

“We went through a pretty strenuous permit process,” Barber said.

Barber and Frank own a similar beer garden, “The Garden,” in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria.

“The Town of Occoquan was amazing and really helped us out with everything,” Barber said. “One of my biggest complaints was that anytime I needed something done, I needed to make a phone call to the mayor to actually get something to happen.

“We are here now, and we are ready to be open,” Barber said.

The family — and dog-friendly beer garden with the capacity of about 200 patrons will feature fire pits, yard games and regional craft beers.

The partners brought in a food trailer with a fully equipped kitchen that has a rotisserie smoker, a couple of friers and a couple of flat-top griddles and convection ovens. Frank is Mill Street Draft Garden’s chef.

“We’ll do a lot of smoked meats.

We’ll have everything from carnitas tacos, pulled-pork sandwiches to chicken wings,” Barber said.

They will also have other kinds of tacos as well as other sandwiches, sal-

ads and desserts, such as peanut butter squares and cinnamon sugar churros.

The Draft Garden will use “Go Tab,” a QR code-based ordering system that allows patrons to place their food and drink orders from their smart phones.

“Then, we will bring everything to you, right where you are,” Barber said. For those unable to use Go Tab, runners will place orders with iPads.

Barber said they started using Go Tab in 2018 at their Alexandria beer garden. “We found it very effective,” he said.

The Mill Street Draft Garden features a pervious gravel surface with picnic tables and Adirondack chairs along with pergolas and umbrellas.

The 15,000-square-foot lot and the former Prince William County Tourism Center, at 200 Mill St., which is owned by the town, make up the Draft Garden.

The service bar for the Draft Garden will be housed inside the 300-square-foot building.

The Occoquan Town Council in 2021 approved a public-private partnership with Barber and Frank to enable their use of the visitors center building.

Under the terms of the agreement, the building’s restrooms will be open to the public as they were in the past. Meals tax revenues generated by the Mill Street Draft Garden will be credited to the town for the $7,500 yearly rent.

If the beer garden generates less than $7,500 in meals tax revenues, the owners would have to make up the difference.

The town required the Draft Garden owners to place bonds down for the work they were doing.

“When the bonds were released after we did everything we needed to do, we used that money to pay the first year’s rent on the (visitors center) part of the project,” Barber said. “We haven’t had to do that for the second year.”

Silver Branch Brewery aims for gemütlichkeit in Warrenton SILVER BRANCH, from page 5

PHOTO BY AIMEE O’GRADY

Christian Layke, left, and Brett Robison, inside the new Silver Branch Brewery, which is scheduled to open Friday, Sept. 29, on Lee Street in Old Town Warrenton.

Within one year of opening, Silver Branch’s Silver Springs brewery was at capacity. “We were running at capacity much sooner than expected and began considering different opportunities to expand, including partnering with other breweries, but we couldn’t find the right fit,” said Bonnell.

“The plan was always to move into Virginia, where we are both from,” said Layke.

Layke’s stepfather, who lives in Warrenton, recommended the old Wort Hog location. While Layke and Robison don’t always see eye-to-eye, they were both drawn to the building and the sense of community they found in Warrenton and decided it had the right vibe for their venue.

“The previous owners gave us a terrific foundation to build upon. Most of what we have done since moving in is cosmetic to make it our own,” Layke said.

The full kitchen adjacent to the brewery gives the owners the opportunity to expand food offerings beyond what is on the menu at their Silver Springs brewery. “This was a huge selling point to the location. This kitchen will allow us to create incredible dishes that complement our beers,” Layke said.

Devin Bozkaya is joining Silver Branch as its executive chef. Bozkaya was trained at The Culinary Institute of America and has worked at the Inn at Little Washington among other notable locations along the northeast. Ryan Baisden, formerly of The BASE at Blue Ridge and Field and Main restaurant in Marshall, will be the executive sous chef.

Also, on the team is Jonathan Reeves, the founding brewer of Port City Brewing, who has amassed 17 Great American Beer Festival medals over the past 30 years, including Best Small Brewery in 2015. Reeves will be the director of brewing operations in Warrenton and is the brew master in Silver Springs.

Ryan Stanley is the new brew master for the

Warrenton brewery. Both brew masters will invent their own beers that will be shared between the two breweries. They will also work together to create new ones. “This will keep a wide variety of beers on the menu, with new ones always being added,” Layke said.

Silver Branch will also offer a full selection of other drinks, including cocktails, wine, cider and soda.

“Groups are diverse, so we take care to offer diversity on our menu to keep everyone happy,” said Layke said.

“We want patrons to enjoy the beer experience.

Brewing beer is a fine balance between art and science. The art keeps the beers attractive, and the science keeps people coming back. A combination of the two creates sophisticated beers worth appreciating,” Layke said.

“Similar to wine, different styles of beer are best suited to specific types of glassware. When guests come in and order a beer, their beer will be poured into any number of glasses to highlight each beer’s unique ingredients,” Robison said.

Silver Branch offers diverse beers to suit a range of tastes and clientele and a space that meets a variety of activities. “The venue serves a variety of functions. The rooftop has a very casual vibe, and the interior is better suited for our dinner drink pairings,” Robison said.

Both Layke and Robison shared that they appreciate the warm welcome they’ve received from the Warrenton community. “Doug Parsons, Beverly Cooper and Laura Torpy from the Department of Economic Development are amazing to work with.

All the folks on the Architecture Review Board and permitting offices are so friendly and helpful.

Even Mayor Nevill dropped in to wish us well,” Layke said. “We fell in love with this community and really see ourselves fitting in well here.”

They said they hope the new beer garden will generate enough meals tax revenue before the rent comes due at the end of the year.

Barber said Letty Lynn, who owns the lot, “has been very helpful. She has abated some of the rent for us.”

“We are fortunate that Letty was so helpful, and the town was willing to work with us,” he said.

“It’s time to open this place and do what we know how to do and do best.”

“We’re grateful they’ve chosen to

locate here in Occoquan and add to the increasing diversity of places the town offers to eat and drink,” Porta said.

The Mill Street Draft Garden will be open year-round, likely with shorter hours in January through March.

When it opens this week, the Mill Street Draft Garden will be open Tuesdays through Thursdays from 3 p.m. until closing, probably around 10 p.m., depending on interest, Fridays from noon until closing and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. until closing.

FAUQUIER’S NEW LOOK LOCKER ROOM

Fauquier High football coach Karl Buckwalter says the FHS locker room has been revamped. “We got decals, floor decals. We made it look more like a college type locker room,” he said, adding he wants the players to take pride and feel more comfortable in their space. “This is where they’re spending their time. This is their home away from home.”

FAUQUIER FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Speedy Falcons plot return to winning ways

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The only way to go is up.

That’s the optimistic way of looking at Fauquier High’s winless 2022 football season, which Falcons’ fifth year coach Karl Buckwalter says is in the rear-view mirror.

“You’re a year older, you’re a year stronger, you’ve worked that much harder and throughout the year you’ve stayed the course. Good things are going to happen,” Buckwalter said. “Like we like to say, it’s the opportunity of now.”

Fauquier’s 0-10 mark last year matched 0-10 seasons in 1980 and 2018. Included were close losses to Warren County 29-28 in overtime and Culpeper 20-19, plus the season-ending 49-0 Bird Bowl loss to Liberty.

The effort was there, Buckwalter said, giving him confidence that 2023 will be a completely different experience. Fauquier enters the season out to end a 15-game losing streak that began midway through the 2021 season.

“They’ve seen it. They’ve been there, done that. We got a lot of those guys coming back, and we’re excited about it,” said Buckwalter. “They’ve all played last year, so there’s not any position on our varsity team that we have, like a newbie that has not played.”

The Falcons are returning almost every starter and have some playmakers on offense. Plus, Fauquier has been classified to Class 3, which could facilitate their first trip to the playoffs since 2014.

See FALCONS, page 12

Aaron Lewis is one of Fauquier’s numerous key returnees.

The Falcons hope to rebound with gusto from last year’s 0-10 season by beating Liberty in Friday’s 30th Bird Bowl.

Fauquier volleyball edges Kettle Run in five-set showdown

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

PHOTO BY COY FERRELL

Fauquier senior Caroline Towle helped her Falcons improve to 2-1 with a huge road win at Kettle Run.

In an important early season Class 3 Northwestern District volleyball match, Fauquier won the final set to edge Kettle Run 20-25, 25-13, 2522, 20-25, 15-12 on Monday.

The Falcons improved to 2-1 and 1-0 in district play. Fauquier previously downed Handley 3-0 in the season opener on Aug. 21 before falling to James Wood 3-0 on Aug. 23.

The loss is the first blemish on the Cougars’ record as they sit at 2-1 and 1-1 in district play.

Kettle Run shut out Meridian 3-0 on Aug. 21 and Liberty 3-0 on Aug. 23.

“It was a disappointing night in the aspect that we did not play to our potential. Fauquier dictated the action and put us on our heels,” said Kettle Run coach Rod Crooks.

“It was also a first-time atmosphere for some of the younger ones. We as a team need to react better. But an early match that can serve as a litmus test of what more is needed from each player and as us as coaches can be used as a positive.”

The rivals won’t see each other again until the final game of the season on Oct. 26 at Fauquier.

Kettle Run junior Caroline Agee received her swimming state championship ring at halftime of Friday’s Kettle Run-Liberty football game. As a sophomore, Agee took first in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:03.60 at the state championship meet in Richmond last February. Agee is the first swimming state champion in Kettle Run history.

Falcons fired up to face Liberty in 30th Bird Bowl

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

PHOTO BY COY FERRELL

Brandon Mock (above) and the Eagles hope to win their 21st straight Bird Bowl.

Liberty last lost a Bird Bowl football game to Fauquier in 2002.

If you define a generation as a 30-year period, that means that there are very few Liberty football players that have ever lost a Bird Bowl to Fauquier.

Will this be the year for some Fauquier Bird Bowl vengeance? On Friday the Falcons, who have lost 20 Bird Bowls in a row, host Liberty at Falcon Field in the 30th Bird Bowl at 7 p.m.

A refocused Fauquier team returns most of its lineup for its season opener.

“The kids are fired up about it and they’re ready to go. People forget, and I tell the kids, we’ve beaten these guys in 2020,” said Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter referring to an early season Falcon win over Liberty, 21-14, in a non-Bird Bowl game earlier that year.

“So I have to catch myself and remind myself and remind the Falcons it’s been done. So I don’t want to hear all this stuff that it’s this long drought,” he said.

Bird Bowl history

2022: Liberty 49-0 2021: Liberty 24-20 (1-0, forfeit) 2020: Liberty 22-0 2019: Liberty, 42-12 2018: Liberty, 41-24 2017: Liberty, 57-13 2016: Liberty, 28-27 2015: Liberty, 39-34 2014: Liberty, 58-21 2013: Liberty, 28-10 2012: Liberty, 42-28 2011: Liberty, 42-7 2010: Liberty, 27-21 2009: Liberty, 50-20

2008: Liberty, 28-21 2007: Liberty, 33-26 2006: Liberty, 22-6 2005: Liberty, 14-6 2004: Liberty, 21-3 2003: Liberty, 44-0 2002: Fauquier, 14-10 2001: Liberty, 41-7 2000: Liberty, 25-0 1999: Fauquier, 10-7 1998: Liberty, 42-0 1997: Liberty, 15-12 1996: Liberty, 23-13 1995: Fauquier, 41-13 1994: Fauquier, 27-10

Liberty leads the Bird Bowl rivalry 25-4. Some of the recent games have been close. Liberty won 24-20 in 2021, although that game went down as a 1-0 Liberty forfeit since Fauquier scheduled 11 games that year. Liberty won 49-0 last year and 22-0 in 2021.

Falcons gunning for first playoff spot since 2014 FALCONS, from page 11 Returning at quarterback is junior Ben Noland, who starts under center for the third straight year after starting as a freshman. “He’s more mature now, he’s more of a leader. And that’s just a natural progression,” Buckwalter said. “He’s bigger and he’s stronger than he was last year.”

Also returning to the offense are all-Northwestern District wide receiver and cornerback David Mayfield and running back Mason Hamilton, with standout defensive ends Chase Leazer and Mikah Matthews back on defense as well.

Fauquier’s offense

Featuring several sprinters from the track team, Fauquier has speed on offense at each skill position, including quarterback where sophomore Amari Martin, who got some varsity time last year, will share the job with Noland.

“He’s a dynamic player. He’s going to be one of our starting corners, and he’s got wheels. He can roll,” said Buckwalter, who said he’s never played two QBs together in his 38 years as a coach.

“He’s a dynamic player. He’s going to be one of our starting corners, and he’s got wheels. He can roll,” said Buckwalter.

Fauquier features wo more sprinters in returning tailbacks Hamilton and Aaron Lewis. “They both have gone out and improved all their times and their burst in track. So that’s a big plus for us,” Buckwalter said.

Sophomore Tom Sanford is another speedy back who will receive carries, as will junior Carter Halsey. Two-way seniors Kobe Link and Mikah Matthews are the H-backs and will be involved in the backfield as well.

Buckwalter expects the Falcons to be able to consistently move the ball on the ground behind their mammoth yet versatile offensive line.

Returning all-Northwestern District wide receiver and cornerback David Mayfield (No. 4), quarterback Ben Noland (No. 6) and running back Mason Hamilton (taking handoff) lead an experienced Falcon offense that expects to make a big jump this season.

5, 270-pound NCAA Division I University of New Hampshire commit, will start at left tackle, but Buckwalter said all seven of their offensive linemen are interchangeable and will move around to different spots on the line as the season progresses.

“We can shuffle the deck if we need to. It’s a nice situation to have where you have seven or eight guys who can come in and play,” he said.

Senior Grey Hadler, junior Isaac Blanding and sophomore Brian Bland will each see time at both guard and tackle, while sophomore Aiden Hartman mainly plays guard.

Hartman and Blanding are each listed at 300 pounds with Hadler and Bland checking in at 260.

Junior Clayton Harris started at center last year but moves over to guard with senior Connor Hagy taking over in the middle.

Fauquier struggled in the passing game last year, but improvement is expected. The Falcons have a major weapon in fleet junior wide receiver David Mayfield, who starts alongside junior Brady Anderson and 6-4 senior Jacob Curtis.

Also catching passes are sophomore Justin Clarke and senior Jalen Newman with senior Chase Leazer and junior Bo Green at tight end.

The Falcons’ defense

On the defensive line, Hartman and junior Connor Hunt plug up the middle with Leazer and Matthews coming off

the edge. Buckwalter loves the size of Hunt, who weighs 290, and the speed of Hartman, who is “as quick as a cat.”

“Our defensive tackles were, when I got here in 2019, they were 185 pounds. So, we’re bigger and we’re stronger. The kids are getting in the weight room,” said Buckwalter.

At inside linebacker, senior D.J. Carter will start next to Clayton Harris. Harris was Fauquier’s 2022 MVP and is described as their “Iron Man” as he never comes off the field and has the versatility to play anywhere on the defensive line as well.

“I call (Harris) our plugger. We got a runner and we got a plugger,” Buckwalter said. “He’s just a really good athlete and he can move.”

Link starts at outside linebacker and will predominantly play near the line of scrimmage but has the athleticism to drop back and play in the middle of the field if need be.

Buckwalter said all three linebackers will have a big role in getting after the quarterback. “We try to play situational football, but I’m more of a guy that is, we’re not going to sit around and wait for you, we’re going to go after people.”

In the secondary, Mayfield and Martin form a formattable duo at cornerback. At safety, Green starts next to junior Tyrese Nwankwo with Clarke available to play either position as well.

Junior Eli Bynaker started at safety last year and is expected to start at

receiver on offense and as an outside linebacker-safety hybrid on defense when he returns from injury.

Special teams

The Falcons have a new kicker this year in junior Hector Villatoro, a soccer player who has “quite a leg.”

Leazer is the punter.

At kick and punt returner, Buckwalter said the speedy track runners — Mayfield, Martin, Lewis and Clarke — will rotate.

Opening with the Bird Bowl

The Falcons open their season Friday against Liberty in the Bird Bowl, which has been moved from its traditional year-end spot to the start of the season due to Fauquier’s reclassification to Class 3.

Although Liberty has won 20 straight Bird Bowls, Fauquier beat Liberty 21-14 in an early season game in 2020 and Buckwalter is excited to see his guys in action.

“We’re going into it with excitement and energy and opportunity,” said Buckwalter.

The prospect of a winning season and playoff berth is within the Falcons’ grasp.

“Once you get your first one, especially after a drought so to speak, then it just catches fire,” said Buckwalter. “Once you get the first one, then it’s, ‘Alright coach, I got you.

Alright, I can see it.’ And then the belief starts growing.”

Jake takes the job and runs with it Mulhern fires 4 TD passes, Quaker scores three in Kettle Run’s 41-20 season-opening win over rival Liberty

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

For over a year, speedy, athletic Jake Mulhern has been the anointed choice to take over as Kettle Run’s starting quarterback in 2023.

His tenure in that vital job opened with a bang in the Cougars’ rousing 41-20 opening night home win over county rival Liberty last Friday. The junior threw a touchdown pass on Kettle Run’s opening possession and finished 6-of-11 with four TD tosses to go with 209 passing yards. The 5-foot-7 Mulhern also ran twice for 42 yards.

“It feels great. We wouldn’t be here without the big boys up front and, of course, Colton (Quaker) running the ball. Without establishing the run game, the passing game wouldn’t be open for Sammy (Rodgers) to get deep,” Mulhern said.

As Kettle Run’s QB, there is pressure to be special. Mulhern’s three predecessors — Abram Chumley (2022), Beau Lang (2021) and Elijah Chumley (2020) — all won district titles and set passing records.

Quaker, who ran for 133 yards and two TDs, said Mulhern’s ability to shine is a key to the Cougars’ bid to win a fourth straight district title. “He comes into the game not really ever playing a varsity game. He comes in, does his job, does it well, leads our offense to victory,” Quaker said.

After a Liberty three-and-out to open the game, Rodgers broke a tackle behind the line of scrimmage on a screen pass and raced 65 yards up the sideline to put Kettle Run ahead 6-0.

The senior finished with three catches for 128 yards and two TDs. “You just got to make a play and make it happen. Only two guys, good block by Zach Roth and (I was) just gone from there,” Rodgers said.

Liberty looked poised to answer, but a Rodgers interception on fourth down at the Kettle Run 9-yard line ended the Eagles threat.

Kettle Run marched 90 yards on its fourth possession to make it 13-0 with 4:42 remaining in the first half.

Following a 32-yard Mulhern scram-

Liberty quarterback Austin Mawyer, who completed 9 of 21 passes for 213 yards and two TDs, hit tight end Brandon Mock for a 32-yard score to make it 13-7.

Following a Mulhern fumble and a Liberty punt, Quaker took a screen pass 50 yards to give the Cougars a 20-7 halftime lead. Quaker followed left tackle Caleb Rapp, who took out the only Eagle in the way and walked into the end zone.

On the third play of the third quarter, Mulhern found Rodgers behind the defense on a post route for a 52-yard

touchdown and a 26-7 lead. “One-onone with Sammy Rogers, it’s going to be a touchdown every time. Can’t really guard Sammy,” Mulhern said.

After two consecutive Liberty fumbles, Kettle Run scored two more touchdowns to take a 41-7 lead with 11:54 left in the fourth.

First, Quaker scored on another untouched run around the left end for his third TD, this time from 22 yards out, then sophomore Jonathan Taylor scored on a 29-yard screen pass.

The Cougars’ defense gave Liberty headaches all game long, forcing three turnovers and sacking Mawyer four times. “I thought they flew

around really well,” coach Charlie Porterfield said. “They were able to play with kind of full speed, high motors the whole game.”

Liberty scored two fourth quarter TDs on a one-yard sneak by Mawyer and a 38-yard reception by Jonathan Reynolds.

First-year Liberty coach Kevin Odlum saw his Eagles keep it close for a while in his debut. Liberty still leads the career rivalry 10-8.

“I knew it would be a good test to kind of see where we are, and I think it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see we have some work to do.

But there were good things, too,” Odlum said.

Kettle Run fans enjoyed the 85-degree opening night temps.

Pamukcu dominates divisions at Great Meadow International One of four riders named to Pan Am eventing squad headed to Santiago

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Caroline Pamukco held her overnight lead Sunday to claim the top spot in the headline 4-star division at the Great Meadow International horse trials in The Plains.

Pamukcu partnered 8-yearold King’s Especiale to finish on a score of 44.2, moving from fifth after dressage and third after show jumping.

Based in northeast Pennsylvania and Ocala, Florida, the 28-year-old Pamukcu also captured top honors in the 3-star aboard HSH Vamanos, ending on their dressage score of 28.9.

“They’re the best horses I’ve ever had,” Pamukcu said.

“There’s so much work that goes into them, and we have such good owners.”

She’s had 18-hand King’s Especiale since he was 5 and just starting his event career.

“He makes it feel so easy,” Pamukcu said. “It really makes a difference when you have

them from babies.”

Pamukcu said the David O’Connor-designed cross-country course that looped the Great Meadow steeplechase course and adjacent Fleming Farm was challenging. “The ground was hard, and the weather was hot,” O’Connor pointed out, “but this was a great group of (competitors), and a real good test heading into the fall season.”

O’Connor and Darrin Mollet of Five Ring Eventing manage and run GMI. “We have such important support from our volunteers,” Mollet added. “And the sponsors are the backbone of the program. This

weekend was a great success for everybody.”

In 2021, Pamukco won the 3-star division at Great Meadow International. Pamukco and King’s Especiale were third in the 4-star at Loch Moy in Maryland last month, but it was the first 4-star victory for both horse and rider.

Pamukco is one of four U.S. riders named to the eventing squad headed to the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile in October. Joining her are Sydney Elliott, Liz Halliday and Sharon White.

Tamie Smith will travel as the reserve rider.

Other GMI winners included Michael Pendleton and Adorrado winning the 2-star division, just edging Pamulco from a third trophy. Pamukco was second aboard Cascadella. Lizzy Hoff and Ema Klugman won divisions of preliminary. Complete results and live links to horse and rider stats are at greatmeadowinternational.com.

Sure, trying to buy a house in this market is tough, but renters are also facing challenges.

When looking for a rental property, it helps to know what landlords are looking for.

Tips for renters in a tough market

By Chris Miller

Piedmont Fine Properties

Everyone knows how competitive the housing market has been over the last few years, but the rental market has also been extremely competitive during this time as well.

The reasons behind this tight rental market vary. A large part is lack of rental inventory. Many landlords found this to be a good market to sell investment properties. Due to the low inventory, tenants who may have moved chose to stay causing very little turnover. We also saw an influx of tenants who would normally be purchasers but decided to rent for the next year or two, watching prices and interest rates. All of this has come together, pushing rents to some of the highest levels we have seen locally.

Tenants are often faced with multiple applications competing for the properties. Tenants are having to broaden search areas to try and find available homes. Rents are also stretching tenant budgets.

Most applications have an accom-

panying fee, and tenants are hesitant to apply to multiple homes if they feel like the fee will be wasted. Tenants should ask if the landlord has a guideline for applicants explaining what they are screening, which may include minimum credit scores and income requirements. Make sure to ask questions when viewing or before applying. If you have a pet, find out if the breed or size is an issue prior to applying.

So, what can a tenant do to set themselves apart in this competitive climate? First, you must consider what landlords want, and it’s not just higher rents. Of course, landlords are looking to maximize income on investments, but they also want to know that the tenant won’t cause problems for neighbors and that the property is being respected. Landlords are looking for low-risk tenants, and most will choose to remain vacant rather than risk the headache and cost of a “bad” tenant experience.

• When submitting your application, make sure that your current landlord knows you’re looking and is ready to provide a response

COURTESY

to a rental verification and history request. This is the No. 1 delay in getting an application processed.

• Make sure to have your paystubs available and notify your employer that they may be getting a call to verify employment. A stable income is as important as the amount of income.

• Know your credit. Almost every application will ask you what you think your credit score is. If you know you have some negative credit items, submit a letter of explanation with your application.

If you have a few issues, be prepared to have a co-signer or additional security deposit available.

• Follow the directions when applying. If the landlord has an application process and you fail to follow it, then your application will be delayed and possibly denied. Remember to fill out the application fully and honestly. Finding a false answer on an application will almost always end up in a denial.

It is unlikely that the current rental market will loosen up dramatically. Over the last couple of years,

we have seen very little seasonality in this market, but we may soon see this returning. This means the push for rentals may be slower in the winter months. Tenants who can move during this time may see less competition and flatter rental rates.

Applying to rent a property can require a fair amount of disclosure.

Landlords may look at your credit, rental history, income and criminal background—all to get a sense of what kind of tenant you would be. Remember that landlords aren’t necessarily expecting to find perfect credit scores, sky-high incomes and spotless backgrounds. Landlords want tenants who pay rent on time, respect property and don’t cause trouble.

Christine Holt Christine Holt, (58), of Orange, VA died on August 12, 2023 at UVA Medical Center. She was the daughter of Max and Laura Rinehart and was preceded in death by her husband, Benjamin Holt.

Christine was a loving and thoughtful wife, daughter, sister, auntie, and friend. She loved to chat with friends and family, send cards, gifts and food and help others when she could. Although she struggled at the end of her life, we hope everyone will remember her sweet smile, ready laughter, willingness to help others, her cooking, all her kitties she loved so much, and her “never met a stranger” personality.

Special thanks to those who supported her over the last several years.

You have her family’s love and gratitude always.

Robin Kayling Moss

James Alan Harris Sr.

Robin Kayling Moss (nee Hamlett), age 58, of Midland, VA passed away August 18, 2023 after a long and grueling battle with meningitis and its complications.

Robin was born on December 17, 1964 in Danville, VA. Robin was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend. Robin had an enormous impact on the lives of family and friends, and her community, that will not be easily forgotten.

For years Robin volunteered with Fauquier sports clubs as a team mom and could always be found on the sidelines passionately cheering her son's teams. At any day of the week, her sons and their friends would gather at her home for food, fun, and laughter. Robin hosted an annual Christmas party that brought much joy and much laughter to her family and friends. Robin will be remembered for her boundless love for animals especially her horses, dogs, and cats. Robin had a special compassion for the elderly seen not only through her profession as a Home Health Care Aide, but also through service to her elderly neighbors for whom she ran errands, cleaned, and provided home health care. For those whose lives were touched by Robin, their lives were made better. Robin will be greatly missed but always remembered - especially her hearty laugh - with tremendous affection.

Robin is survived by her husband, Charles Kevin Moss of Midland, VA; her sons' Josh Dwayne Moss (Jaime) of Summerduck, VA and Charles "Kevin" Moss (Mandé) of Midland, VA; her stepdaughter, Jennifer Cain (Scott) of Jacksonville, NC; her grandson Michael Moss of Summerduck, VA; her step-grandson, Jerian Hendricks of Summerduck, VA; her parents Weldon and Shelvie Hamlett of Midland, VA; her brother, Dwayne Hamlett of Spotsylvania, VA; her nephews, Michael, Matthew, and Zach Hamlett of Spotsylvania, VA; her niece, Shara Brantley of Oakley, CA; mother-in-law Jeannine Moss of Stafford, VA; and her sisters-in-law Lisa Woerner (Thomas dec'd) of Oakley, CA and Denise McCosh (Brian) of West Palm Beach, FL; and brother-in-law, Matthew Moss of Washington, DC. Robin's sister-in-law and great friend Christine Hamlett and her father-in-law Robert D. Moss preceded her in death.

A memorial service will be held at Lake Ritchie Pavilion, 5305 Lake Ritchie Rd, Bealeton, VA on Sep 17, 2023 at 1:00 pm.

James Alan Harris Sr., 89, of Warrenton, passed away peacefully on August 25, 2023, at his home. He was born June 3,1934 in Waverly, NY to the late Duane and Frances Rowe Harris.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Arleen Julio Harris; children Cynthia Harris and Vincent P. Harris; sister Anne Schumacher; five grandchildren; one great-grandson; a step granddaughter; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister Jane Welles, sons Duane P. Harris and James A. Harris, Jr. A Navy veteran, James (Jim for those who are close to him) first experienced Warrenton in 1956 when he was stationed at the Warrenton Training Center.

After marrying Arleen in 1959, they traveled the world with his work in the Federal Intelligence Agency. The family enjoyed exciting locations like Cyprus, Tunisia, Ghana, Pakistan, Germany, and California before returning to Warrenton in 1975. After a 53-year career with the U.S. Government, Jim and Arleen chose to remain in Warrenton; close to their family, friends and the community they love.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, August 31,2023 from 5 to 7pm at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA, 20186.

Severn Leigh Somerville Leigh Somerville died peacefully in her home with her loved ones in The Plains, Virginia on August 26, 2023. She was 70 years old.

Leigh was born on Sept. 4, 1952 in Warrenton, Virginia to Smith Severn Somerville and Louise Jerrell Payne. Her father was killed in the Korean War in 1953 and her mother married James Rutledge in 1956. They lovingly raised Leigh and her younger brother, Jimmy, in The Plains, VA at Kinloch Cottage.

She had a love for reading, writing, storytelling, and theatre from an early age. After graduating high school, she studied at Emory & Henry College and UNC-Wilmington, later completing her BA in English from Salem College. She was a gifted poet and also published a trilogy of fictional novels, It All Started with a Dog, All Good Things and Black Dog Magic. Her professional work also led her to help others share their life stories through memoirs, notably Long Time Coming: My Life and the Darryl Hunt Lesson. A talented actress, Leigh also performed in many stage productions, the last of which was Fauqier Community Theatre's production of Our Town.

Leigh lived her life to the fullest, with an open heart, and used what she learned through life's challenges as a way to shine her light for others on the path. She often said "We're all walking each other home", and she touched so many lives and held the hands of many along the way. She played her part without missing a line.

Leigh is survived by her partner, Marc White, her mother, Louise Jerrell Rutledge, her two sons, Frank and Severn Eaton, her brother, Jimmy Rutledge, his wife Dawn, their children Randy and Emily, and four grandchildren Wiley, Ethan, Jacob and Isla, along with countless friends and extended family.

There will be a celebration of Leigh at her home on September 10th starting at 1:00.

Those wishing to make donations are asked to give in her honor to: Well of Mercy, wellofmercy.org; 181 Mercy Lane, Hamptonville, NC 27020.

Stuart Jack Steensma

Virginia Ann Rumbough

Stuart Jack Steensma, 90, of Weems went to be with our Lord August 14, 2023.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Helen Steensma, their daughter Karen Boen, and great grandson Jackson Steensma.

He is survived by his sons and their families; George Steensma (Mary), Russell Steensma (Barbara), Stuart Steensma Jr. (Michele), Inge Boen, and Richard Steensma (Christy); many nieces and nephews; 14 grandchildren and their families.

Stu, as he liked to be called, worked most of his career for the George A. Fuller Company as a project manager building skyscrapers. Some of his efforts included overseeing the renovation of a building for The Cooper Union college in lower Manhattan, New York, and the construction of the Exxon headquarters in midtown Manhattan, the Veterans Hospital in the Bronx, and the pair of USA Today buildings in Rosslyn, Virginia along with many others in the DC and New York areas.

He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. He was a humble, faithful servant of God who instilled in us the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ for eternal salvation.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, September 2, at Wesley Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Weems. Interment will follow the service at Grace Episcopal Church Cemetery, Kilmarnock.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to any of the following: Wesley Church, 70 Faith Circle, Weems, VA 22576; Grace Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 1059, Kilmarnock, VA 22482; Lakeshore Church, PCA, 8083 Hope Drive, Denver, NC 28037; Mercy Ships, P.O. Box 2020, Garden Valley, TX 75771.

Currie Funeral Home LLC of Kilmarnock handled the arrangements.

Virginia Ann (Twyman) Rumbough passed peacefully from this world on August 20th 2023. She was 84 years old.

The eldest of four children, she was born on June 24th 1939 in Madison County, Virginia to the late Bascom Govell Twyman, Jr and Marguerite Thornton Dowell.

She was married to the late Allan Townsend Lunsford, Sr and was mother to three children; Alyce Susanne Kincaid (deceased), John Samuel Lunsford, III and Allan Townsend Lunsford, Jr. Aside from her two sons, she is survived by six grandchildren; Elizabeth Ann Lunsford, T. Lee Kincaid, LeeAnn T. Kincaid, Allan T. Lunsford, III, Wilkes Patton Lunsford and Annabelle D. Lunsford; and three great-grandchildren, Chase, Zane and Delaney. She was widow to the late Colonel David H. Rumbough.

A Southern lady to her core, Ann was very proud of her families' legacy throughout the history of Virginia and was fiercely loyal to that family. She was a loving mother who was quick with a hug or a kiss and was quicker still with a switch or flyswatter, should the situation dictate. She enjoyed reading, sewing and needlepoint. A wonderful cook and gracious host, she derived great pleasure from feeding, not only her family, but also family friends as well. Her kitchen was always full. Ann will be greatly missed.

A visitation and celebration of her life was held on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, from 6-8 p.m. at Mosers Funeral Home, Warrenton, Virginia.

A private interment will be held later at Culpeper National Cemetery.

Flowers are a beautiful way to show your support and comfort the bereaved.

Although flowers are nearly guaranteed to lift spirits, there are certain guidelines to follow when the flowers are for a funeral or celebration of life. The immediate family members usually provide flowers for decorating the casket. Extended family members may send larger arrangements for the funeral like sprays and wreaths.

Friends, neighbors, and colleagues can choose from a variety of smaller sympathy arrangements. You can send your floral gift to the funeral home (addressed to the deceased) or to the home of immediate family members (addressed to a surviving spouse or relative). Local florists will coordinate with funeral directors to make sure gifts arrive on time.

The family or close friends often choose funeral flowers, which are sent to the church or funeral home for display during the service. Funeral arrangements are designed to be viewed from every angle of the sanctuary. They are often a larger arrangement or easel display. For more information about our services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431, or visit our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We can also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
