Noise levels at Prince William data centers worry opponents of proposed Warrenton facility

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Last Monday, Aug. 22, as the temperature passed 90 degrees, about 50 Prince William County residents, plus a handful from Fauquier, stood at the entrance to an Amazon data center complex south of Manassas.

They carried signs that read, “Your Cloud is Too Loud” and “Data Centers are a Racket,” and more, their focus on the unrelenting noise coming from data centers operating near their homes. They said the droning sound

is annoying, increases their stress and can produce severe anxiety.

It’s not the loudness, said Dale Browne, president of the Great Oak Subdivision Homeowners Association, the community most affected – though the sound can exceed permitted limits.

It’s the monotonal quality of it, and the fact that it never stops, that irritates his friends and neighbors. “They just say they hate the noise; they can’t stand it; it’s driving them nuts,” he said.

The small town of Remington, one of Fauquier County’s three incorporated towns, is set for an election this fall that could set the town’s course for years to come and bring as many as four newcomers to the six-seat council. Additionally, town residents will vote either to keep Interim Mayor Bill Polk in that position or replace him with former Vice Mayor Devada Allison. In-person absentee voting begins Sept. 23, and Election Day is Nov. 8.

Eight candidates, split evenly between incumbents and newcomers, are running to fill six seats on the council. They are, in alphabetical order: Stan Heaney Sr., Rick Heflin, Morgan Butler Lewis, Van Loving, Veronica Meadows, Rick Moxley, Luann Myatt and Susan Tiffany. A ninth

The local chapter of the activist group Moms for Liberty is asking Fauquier County Public Schools to pull from school library shelves 14 more books the group considers too sexually explicit or violent for any student to read.

All the titles are at Kettle Run High School, but some are also at Liberty, Fauquier and Southeastern high schools. Two of the titles are at middle schools. “Looking for Alaska,” by John Green, is in the Marshall Middle School’s library, and “Eleanor and Park,” by Rainbow Rowell, is on the library shelves at Warrenton Middle School. All the books will remain in school libraries while school-based reviews are under way.

Limited supplies of monkeypox vaccine now available Staff Report An extremely limited supply of monkeypox vaccine is available to residents of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, which includes Fauquier County, according to a news release.

The health district is working to ensure that residents who have been exposed or are at high risk of being exposed to monkeypox receive one of the two approved vaccinations.

Anyone interested in obtaining a monkeypox vaccination may call the RRHD hotline at 540-308-6072.

The current community risk for the virus is low. Most cases of monkeypox associated with the recent outbreak in the United States have been identified in men who have sex with men, but anyone can get monkeypox if they have close contact with someone infected with the virus. Monkeypox can spread from the time symptoms start until all sores have healed and a fresh layer of skin has formed. This can take several weeks.

In the current outbreak, hospitalizations and deaths from monkeypox are rare, but symptoms can still be painful and interfere with daily activities, according to the health department. Flu-like symptoms are typically the first to

appear. Those symptoms include fever, low energy, swollen lymph nodes and body aches. Within one to three days, an infected person can develop a rash or sores. The sores go through several stages, including scabs, before healing.

They can look like pimples or blisters and may be painful and itchy, the news release said.

The virus spreads primarily through direct contact with infectious sores, scabs or body fluids during sex, as well as during activities like kissing, hugging, massaging and cuddling. Monkeypox can also spread by sharing fabrics such as clothing and bedding used by a person with monkeypox. It can also spread through respiratory secretions during prolonged, close, faceto-face contact.

Monkeypox is not spread through brief conversations or by walking past someone with monkeypox.

The health department recommends residents with a new or unexplained rash or other symptoms consistent with monkeypox avoid crowds and close contact with others and seek medical care for further evaluation and testing.

The VDH’s monkeypox website at https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/ monkeypox/ can provide more information.

Student arrested near Kettle Run High had been expelled from all Fauquier schools, sheriff’s office says

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A teenage boy arrested Aug. 11 after a stolen car and gun were found in the parking lot at Kettle Run High School had been expelled from all Fauquier County public schools and was trespassing when he drove onto school property, according to an affidavit filed by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

A new affidavit for a search warrant was filed last week and appeared to seek access to the teenager’s school records. No information was available on why he was expelled. The teenager’s name is not being published because he is a minor.

“Security footage of the incident from the school shows the driver of the vehicle parking in the student parking lot of the school before exiting the car and walking throughout the parking lot,” the affidavit says. “When informed of the identity of the driver of the vehicle, the school principal, Meaghan Brill, advised that (the teenager) had previously been expelled from all Fauquier County Public Schools.”

Law enforcement spoke with Nicholas Napolitano, executive di-

rector of student services and special education at the Fauquier school division, who confirmed that the teen was not permitted on school property, according to the affidavit.

No information was available on why the teen was walking around the parking lot. “Still an active investigation at this time,” Sgt. William Kemper wrote in an email.

The teen was charged with larceny of a firearm, possession of a firearm on school property, trespassing, and possession of tobacco products by a minor, according to an earlier affidavit requesting a search warrant.

The gun was a Smith and Wesson .38-caliber revolver found inside an open fanny pack in the car’s glove box. The gun did not belong to the owner of the car. It had been reported missing before Aug. 11, according to the earlier affidavit. Three bullets also were recovered from the car.

Charged last month with sexual battery, Remington teenager arrested again for ‘obscene sexual display’

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County sheriff’s deputies arrested a 19-year-old man Thursday, Aug. 25, after he allegedly performed a sex act outside of a person’s home in Remington. The man arrested, J’Quan Knighting of Remington, was charged with “obscene sexual display,” a misdemeanor, and is currently being held without bond.

It comes a month after Knighting was arrested and charged with misdemeanor sexual battery in Culpeper; he is awaiting adjudication of that case.

The alleged victim in the Remington incident identified Knighting to deputies, according to the criminal complaint filed with his arrest.

Knighting then “admitted to walking around the neighborhood and stopping [in] the area of the victim’s address,” the complaint said.

The Culpeper case is not related to the incident in Remington, according to a sheriff’s office spokesperson, and the two inJ’Quan Knighting volve separate alleged victims.

In Culpeper, Knighting allegedly followed a woman around Walmart until she was in a “partially secluded portion of the store” and grabbed her genitals, according to a Culpeper Police Department statement issued July 20. There was no evidence that Knighting knew the woman, Culpeper police said at the time. He was later released from the Culpeper jail on bond.

No other charges against Knighting appear in Virginia online court records.

Man arrested in connection with shooting in Warrenton

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A Fauquier County man was arrested Thursday, Aug. 25, and charged with a felony in connection with an Aug. 19 shooting in Warrenton. No one was hurt in the incident.

Deandre Burke, 20, allegedly fired a gun from a vehicle after a “verbal altercation” with another individual in the Haiti Street neighborhood, according to a criminal complaint filed with his arrest. Burke was charged with endangering life by firing a gun from a vehicle — a class five felony — and remained in custody as of Aug. 26.

“It is because of the strong partnership between the community and their police department that allowed our detectives to quickly bring this incident to a resolution,” a press release from the Warrenton Police Department said.

Burke, whose listed address is in the Free State area of Fauquier County, told police that he had been

“called by [another individual] to meet him on Haiti Street to collect money,” according to the complaint.

Burke went on to claim that the Deandre Burke individual was “acting erratically,” that Burke was “concerned by [his] conduct” and that “he did not intend to kill [him].”

A separate affidavit for a search warrant added that Burke said he “became concerned when [the individual] reached toward his waistband or pocket” and that Burke claimed he was trying to get the individual to go away.

Much of the incident was recorded on video by a security camera, according to the complaint. The gunshot allegedly fired by Burke “hit the concrete curb behind [the second individual’s] legs,” the complaint said.

The person whom Burke was allegedly meeting has not been charged with a crime in connection with the incident and is therefore not being named by the Fauquier Times.

Noise levels at Prince William data centers worry opponents of proposed Warrenton facility NOISE, from page 1 Meanwhile, 15 miles to the west, a new Amazon data center is being proposed for the town of Warrenton. Residents there worry about the noise it might produce and are looking to take clues from the scene at Great Oak. But how much can be inferred about the planned Warrenton center is unclear.

Based on information supplied so far from Amazon Data Services, the proposed Warrenton center would use the same noise-producing cooling technology as the ones near Great Oak, and the Warrenton center would be about the same size as each of the four buildings there. Amazon has said that three buildings are currently operating at the Great Oak complex, but residents say the irritating noise started back in May, when they believe only one building was online.

Based on plans submitted, the tree buffer insulating the Warrenton center from nearby homes would be much less robust than the one near Great Oak. In Prince William, the sound is buffered by 300 feet of forest, but the Warrenton buffering is spotty. In both locations, the distance between the data center buildings and the closest back yards is 600 feet.

But noise from data centers can be affected by a building’s height, angles and orientation, prevailing winds, time of day, and, of course, the cooling system design. So, it’s difficult to predict exactly what the noise would be like at the planned Warrenton facility.

One Warrenton area HOA president, who asked not to be identified because he did not want to bring negative attention to his subdivision, said he lives about a mile from the federal Warrenton Training Center where two data centers are operating. He said he and his wife used to sleep with their windows open, but not anymore. “That’s a non-starter,” he said, “because at our home, it’s a droning noise all through the night.”

The OVH data center at Vint Hill seems to be a better neighbor. Spencer Snakard, the president of the Coalition to Protect Fauquier County who lives nearby, stopped by Monday to listen and said when she was there, “it seems like a very quiet facility.” The OVH center, at about 800,000 square feet, is less than half the size of the planned Warrenton center. It was put into an older existing building, and its owner has said it uses a recycled water-cooling system, which is different from what is planned for Warrenton.

Through its land-use attorney John Foote, Amazon has assured Warrenton officials that the sound coming from the center would be minimal. It would use “air cooling systems that do not produce significant noise,” its April 13 special use application states. As of Friday, the giant data company had yet to supply the town planners with the noise impact and abatement studies that the zoning ordinance requires for consideration of its application.

Meanwhile, groups opposed to the data center are worried. “I have

Affected residents contend that decibel-measured sound limits don’t address the problem. John Lyver, a former NASA engineer who has been studying the Prince William data center this year, said that data center sound is generated at frequencies to which the human brain is sensitized.

An article in Harvard Medicine magazine in spring 2022 says that vibrations from noise affect the human stress response system. “Researchers have found that the more people are bothered by noise, the greater the health risks they face from it.

Yet, even those who tune out noise pollution, whether when awake or asleep, experience autonomic stress reactions,” the article states.

An EPA study of environmental noise states, “Noise exposure can be presumed to cause general stress by itself or in conjunction with other stressors.” The study says continual day-night noise of 55 decibels is tolerable to humans, but levels above 70 decibels for long periods of time can lead to hearing loss.

One other overlooked problem is that noise adds up, and its effects will be noticed more and more as data centers are built close to residential areas. While data center operators may say that they are operating within legal limits by producing less than 55 decibels of continual noise, that noise is added to the other environmental noise that citizens hear.

For instance, Lyver says, people who live near a major highway, like Interstate 66, may already be hearing 65 to 70 decibels of highway noise.

He has created a model that shows that the planned data centers along such routes would raise the noise levels in northern Prince William even higher, into the low-to-mid 70s.

Possible solutions

After hearing the noise in May, Great Oak residents asked to meet with Amazon Web Services, and they have had three meetings so far. Also attending were Deputy Prince William County Executive Rebecca Horner, Planning Commissioner Tom Gordy and aides to supervisors Jeanine Lawson, Yesli Vega and chair Ann Wheeler.

Horner said last week that the Prince William County attorney is researching what the county can regulate in terms of noise. “Once we know what we’re enabled to do, we will address the noise issue,” she said, noting that she hopes to have more answers by the time the county board meets again in September.

Browne said Amazon has said the noise comes from cooling units on the buildings’ roofs. An Amazon spokesperson, who declined to be named, said Monday that the company started installing sound-reducing shrouds on Friday and that the work would be completed in coming weeks. He said the company was “evaluating several sound reduction measures.”

Browne said the work has not made a difference yet, but they would wait and see.

Remington Town Council candidates want progress but differ on the details CANDIDATES, from page 1 candidate, current council member Amanda Hart, qualified for the ballot but withdrew from the race.

Voter turnout in the town of 650 residents has historically been measured in dozens, not hundreds, although turnout could be boosted significantly this year because of a state law moving town elections from May to November. That means, for the first time, voters will cast ballots in town and federal elections simultaneously.

Much of the discourse ahead of the election has been shaped by the competing philosophies of the two men running for mayor.

Polk, whom the council appointed as interim mayor in March 2021 after the death of longtime Mayor Gerald Billingsley, has used his position to harness the “power of influence and persuasion,” as he puts it, to push for a wide-ranging package of initiatives that he calls a “revitalization for a destination.”

Allison, a town councilman and vice mayor until last year, is running to unseat Polk. He says he does not necessarily disagree with some of the ideas discussed recently but says that Polk made sweeping plans without input from the council. The council — not the mayor — should take the leading role in the future of the town, Allison argues, echoing sentiments from some current council members.

Polk recently took the unusual step of endorsing a list of six candidates for town council. He held a small rally Sunday to campaign on their behalf and to promote his ideas. The town, he says, needs to refurbish the downtown commercial

district to attract more visitors. This would capitalize, he says, on the recently opened Rector Tract Park and the planned Rappahannock Station Battlefield Park, both located just outside of town on the Rappahannock River.

The town should also be more accessible to pedestrians, he says, both for visitors and for residents — and especially for children walking to Pierce Elementary School, which is also located just outside of town. A recent engineering study found that a 10-foot-wide multiuse paved path along James Madison Street from the river to the school would help achieve this aim — but that building it would cost between $1 and $2 million.

Realizing these ideas, Polk acknowledges, is complicated by the fact that the town government does not control the public rights-ofway, meaning that the Virginia Department of Transportation would need to agree with — and pay for — many of the projects. Additionally, some of the most important elements of Polk’s plans, including the riverside parks and the elementary school, are not within town limits, meaning that moving forward would also require a buy-in from the county.

Allison has declined to endorse candidates as a matter of principle, arguing that Polk’s outspoken policy advocacy since his appointment is anathema to the “representative” role that a mayor should play. Polk, he says, has left the council out of important policy discussions, something Allison has pledged not to do if he is elected mayor.

Student arrested near Kettle Run High had been expelled from all Fauquier schools, sheriff’s office says STUDENT, from page 2 parking lot. Staff notified the school resource officer, who tried to contact the driver. The boy fled on foot into the woods between Kettle Run and Greenville Elementary School.

Deputies ran the license plate of the car through a computer database and discovered that it had been stolen from a Prince William County resident. While dispatchers were on the phone with the car’s owner, a law enforcement officer saw a cell phone lying on the front passenger seat of the stolen vehicle.

Dispatch confirmed that the phone did not belong to the car’s owner. Law enforcement sought a search warrant for the contents of the cell phone, which they believed belonged to the boy.

The incident resulted in a modified lockdown at four schools in the area — Kettle Run, Greenville, Auburn Middle School and Ritchie Elementary. During a modified lockdown, no one is allowed to enter or exit the building, but instruction continues as

usual within the building, including class changes. School let out on time with an increased police presence.

Students and staff did not face a “credible threat” that would justify a full lockdown because the boy ran away when law enforcement tried to contact him, the sheriff’s office said in response to emailed questions from the Fauquier Times.

The teenager was arrested at 2:18 p.m. at the intersection of Riley Road and Brookside Parkway, about four miles from Kettle Run. A school resource officer first called the sheriff’s office at 11:34 a.m.

Meaghan Brill, principal of Kettle Run High School, credited the collaborative effort between schools and law enforcement. “We were prepared, and our staff knew how to respond,” Brill said. “It was a true team approach – from our school staff to division staff to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office – everyone came together and immediately responded.”

Remington Mayor Bill Polk has endorsed six candidates in the town council election.

Some town council candidates agree generally with Polk’s assertion that Remington needs, as the mayor puts it, a “course direction correction.”

While agreeing that pedestrian safety should be a priority, others argue that the town government should focus on maintaining and improving the town’s current services before moving on to more complex initiatives to promote commercial growth.

Stan Heaney Sr.

The owner of The Corner Deli, Heaney has served on the town council since 2006. Along with Loving, he is one of two incumbent members of council endorsed by Polk. Efforts to reach Heaney for comment by press time were unsuccessful.

Rick Heflin

Now retired from a career as a federal government employee, Heflin has owned a house in Remington since the 1980s, and his family roots in the town go back a century. He has served on the town council since early 2021, when he was appointed to fill a vacant seat.

Heflin said that he shares the goal of making the town more pedestrian-friendly and that he is open to any idea to make Remington a more attractive place to live, visit and do business. But, he emphasized repeatedly, policy decisions should involve the town council from the start, something he thinks has not happened under Polk. He supports Allison for mayor, arguing that his philosophy better reflects what the town’s charter intended for the mayoral role.

“We definitely want to see improvements; we definitely want to see more things accessible to town residents and to people in the surrounding area,” Heflin said, “but I want to see it done at the

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

table — open and transparent.”

Heflin also emphasized that the town government’s core responsibilities, like public works and the small police department, should always be the first concern of the council.

For instance, the council recently hired a third public works employee, in part so that the department’s work can still be performed if one employee has the day off. The council has also worked to update the town’s computer systems and make the town hall — also used as a Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles office — more accessible to people with disabilities. Efforts like these aren’t particularly glamorous, Heflin said, but are part of the essential functions of the council and of modernizing the town’s services.

Morgan Butler Lewis

Lewis is a contracts specialist for a nonprofit that does work for the federal government. She has lived in the Remington area all her life — her family has deep roots in the area — and this is her first time running for public office.

She is running at the suggestion of Polk, she said, and she supports his vision for the town. “I want to make it a place where generations after me — where people want to be,” she said of the town.

“I envision a Davis Street type area,” Lewis said, a reference to a street in Culpeper that is

popular with tourists. She wants to keep Remington “a small town,” she added, “but I feel like it needs to grow — needs to change.”

She has yet to develop a full understanding of how the town government can or should facilitate that goal, she said. But she’s “appreciated” Polk’s advocacy on the issue. “I want to be a part of something,” she said of her decision to run for council, “Things changing, but changing for the good.”

Van Loving

A lifelong resident of Remington, Loving is the most experienced incumbent running for re-election. He has served on the town council — with several breaks — since 1987. He recently retired, having spent the past 15 years as a maintenance worker employed by the town. Along with Heaney, Polk has endorsed Loving for re-election.

Efforts to reach Loving for comment by press time were unsuccessful.

Veronica Meadows

A chief strategy officer for a landscape architecture licensing organization, Meadows is a native of Fauquier County and has lived in Remington for about a year and a half. It’s her first time running for public office, and she is among the candidates aligned with Polk.

Meadows works full-time from home. “I live, work and play here in Remington,” she said, an experience she hopes can soon be a reality for more people in town. She supports commercial growth downtown, and she said electing council members who share that goal is vital. “Having a council that is all supportive of a direction is going to be really important. You can’t really have progress until you have a team that is all supportive of a direction.”

Remington Town Council candidates want progress but differ on the details CANDIDATES, from page 6 The council won’t have direct control over many of the details, she acknowledged. But by presenting a clear “vision,” Meadows said that she hopes that the town, VDOT, the county and other stakeholders can move forward with initiatives to make the town more vibrant. The goal, she said, is for area residents to spend more of their time and money in Remington instead of driving to Culpeper or Warrenton.

“I think that is an important component that Mayor Bill brings to the table,” she said of Polk and his proposed initiatives. “In order to get anywhere, you have to know where you’re going, right?” And by presenting a clear set of ideas to town residents, Meadows hopes to help boost public interest and engagement in town government. “Having a vision that the community can get behind and support is really important,” she said.

Like other candidates, Meadows is also focused on finding ways to make the town more walkable, especially for schoolchildren. It’s especially personal for Meadows, whose daughter attends Pierce. “Having a school-aged child who is going to grow up in this town — obviously, she is my main motivation.”

Rick Moxley

Moxley is a retired firefighter-paramedic from Northern Virginia who moved to Remington last year. Polk recruited him to run for council, and Moxley said that he generally agrees with Polk’s ideas for breathing new life into Remington. This is his first time running for public office.

“I think people want to see something happen,” Moxley said. He said that he wants Remington to change from “really, just a shortcut” from U.S. 17 to U.S. 15/29 to a place where people come to spend time and money — and ultimately, where people want to live.

“If [the candidates endorsed by Polk] get elected, we need to put all these projects on the table and see what we can get going,” he said, with a focus on pedestrian accessibility and restoring the town to its historic role as a commercial center for southwestern Fauquier County.

He acknowledged that it may be a slow process, especially since some of the elements of the “revitalization” plans are outside the direct control of the council. But new ideas to revitalize the town should be the focus of the council going forward, he said.

“That’s what you need to get outof-towners to become in-towners,” he said.

Luann Myatt

Myatt is a U.S. Army veteran and currently a school bus driver.

She moved to the area from Florida about five years ago and has lived in Remington for about three and a half years. This is her first time running for public office.

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Remington mayoral candidate Devada Allison says that the town council should be the lead player in policy discussions.

“I spent three and a half years walking around Remington saying, ‘What can we do?” she said. “I’m not really a political person. I’m just kind of a doer,” she added.

“The community is so cute, and I think it’s got a lot of potential,” she said. By running for council, “I want to see what I can do.”

In general, she said, she hopes that the council providing a clear vision for the town will spur investment in aging buildings and infrastructure.

As a bus driver, she said that she is especially focused on providing safe routes for children to walk to school and hopes that outside organizations will help fund projects to realize that goal.

Myatt also played professional baseball for several years in Florida, and she hopes that Remington will be able to provide sports fields for its residents and for the surrounding community.

Susan Tiffany

A Fauquier County native, Tiffany is an environmental specialist with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and has served on the town council since 2018.

She expressed skepticism about Polk’s focus on transforming Remington into a “destination,” arguing that the town government should focus on more basic infrastructure needs for its residents. She supports Allison for mayor.

“I just don’t know if things like that — little boutique shops — are going to make it in this town,” Tiffany said. “I think the things we should concentrate on are safe streets, making Main Street safer” and having a way for kids to walk to the elementary school.

She noted that Remington already has a wide range of businesses, like hair salons, a pharmacy, a dentist and two restaurants. Though many motorists cut through town on their way to work, “I just don’t know that we would have enough foot traffic to support the businesses — more than we have,” she said.

“We aren’t Warrenton. We aren’t Culpeper,” she said, and that means there is rarely any funding left over after maintaining essential infrastructure for more expansive projects like Polk is suggesting.

‘Out of Darkness’ author says students benefit from books about difficult subjects

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

BookLooks, a book review site that Moms for Liberty and other similar groups use to determine whether books are suitable for teens, gives “Out of Darkness,” by Ashley Hope Perez, the following review: “This book contains inflammatory racial commentary; derogatory terms and mild profanity; violence; explicit sexual nudity and explicit sexual activities including sexual assault and battery of a minor.”

That’s accurate, says Perez, although she recommends the conservative Common Sense media’s website as perhaps a better way for parents to screen their children’s reading to determine what is appropriate. Perez, who has two children

of her own, understands that not every book is for every reader.

She would allow her 12-year-old to read her book “Out of Darkness” if he wanted to, but he doesn’t so far. The bottom line is: “Not every kid needs to read this any more than they need to read ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid,’” a series of popular books about a boy surviving middle school.

All parents have the right to determine what is appropriate for their own children to read, but they don’t have the right to determine what is OK for other people’s kids, Perez said.

“Out of Darkness” is historical fiction about a love affair between a teenage Mexican American girl and teenage African American boy in Texas in the years leading up to

Moms for Liberty wants 14 more books removed from school libraries BOOKS, from page 1 Moms for Liberty is an advocacy group with a nationwide reach that is well known to the American Library Association for its fast growth and ever-expanding list of books that members want pulled from library shelves.

“They seem to have grown very quickly and are very well funded,” said Deborah Caldwell-Stone, director of the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom. “At the root, they are asking a publicly funded entity to engage in censorship of materials,” she said. “It’s trying to

a school explosion that killed more than 300 students and teachers in 1937.

“I hope in your community that (the) school board is clear and firm and doesn’t cave to these really unfounded allegations about books and these tactics that are not helping students,” said Perez, who grew up in what she called a “Bible church.”

Perez, who receives hate mail, said she and other writers of young adult novels “pour ourselves into this work because we care about young people.”

Keeping track of efforts to ban “Out of Darkness” became too depressing, so she stopped counting.

And for every “official” removal of See PEREZ, page 9

tailor the public-school library to their particular taste, morality and politics.”

Caldwell-Stone had seen the list of books some Fauquier parents want to remove from school libraries here. “The majority of the books deal with lived experiences of persons of color, the effects of violence on their lives.” Some of them deal with the experiences of LGBTQ students. Readers who check out those books are learning about issues they may grapple with as they become adults, she said.

Bowman emphatically disputes that Moms for Fauquier is targeting books representing minority groups such as LGBTQ students or black or brown students. So far, the Fauquier Moms group has reviewed 70 to 75 books. Of those,

Out of Darkness author Ashley Hope Perez

more than 30 with themes involving LGBTQ or racial minorities are not being challenged, she said.

While Caldwell-Stone believes groups such as Moms for Liberty represent a vocal minority of parents, Bowman sees things differently. “I think we have a silent majority,” she said. “I think there are a lot of people who do not want to believe this stuff is actually in our schools.”

The Fauquier chapter does not receive any financial or administrative support from the national Moms for Liberty, Bowman said. Mainly, the affiliation helps bring like-minded parents together, she said. “We get a lot of hate, and it’s very easy to feel alone.”

PEREZ, from page 8 her book from a library, there are likely many more of what she called “quiet” removals, in which librarians or other professionals put potentially difficult books behind the counter or put them in their offices, where students lack easy access.

Parents may have their reasons for not wanting their kids to read about sex in a novel, but “that does not make that content pornographic,” she said. The truth is that no matter how much effort parents put into shielding their children from sexual content, they are waging an uphill battle. For example, even if parents are very careful about monitoring their own children’s cell phones, kids are likely to find access on other kids’ phones or computers.

“Do you imagine that a young person who wants to find sexual content won’t?” she asked.

Some parents seem to be very worried about their kids accessing content that contradicts the values they are trying to instill in their kids, Perez said. But the fear that reading a novel that includes sexual violence will warp their kids’ morals doesn’t seem reasonable. “A novel is not going to undo a person’s value system.”

When books are removed from libraries, students lose access to a 21st century education that teaches “cultural competence,” how to live with people of very diverse backgrounds, Perez said. “Do you really want your

kid left behind?” she asked. “That is going to impoverish your child’s education.”

School librarians are trained curators of library materials, a difficult job that often doesn’t pay well. Book challenges divert energy away from the work of helping students in the library working on research papers or searching for the perfect read. “It is really heartbreaking.

“This boils down to using books as tools to signal to the community that we get to decide not just what our kids read, but what everyone’s kids’ read. It’s a proxy war about identities, cultures, whose stories get told.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton understands challenges of disabled; candidate Hung Cao does not At the Aug. 22 candidates forum sponsored by the ARC of Northern Virginia (https://thearcofnova.org/about-us/), incumbent 10th Congressional District Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, a Democrat, exchanged views with Republican candidate Hung Cao regarding how the federal government can support citizens with physical challenges requiring ongoing daily assistance to be fully participating members of society and the workforce.

Rep. Wexton demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the issues faced by citizens with severe physical challenges – need for reliable personal caregivers, need for income to rise out of poverty and meaningful employment issues.

She articulated her continuing approach to solve the complex issues by braiding federal legislation, appropriations, policy modifications, education, increased Supplemental Security Income indexed to inflation and multiple interventions needed to support and ensure an ample supply of qualified personal caregivers.

Mr. Cao’s solution was to get government

out of the way and rely on supply and demand, in spite of his description of our workforce as no longer having a work ethic. He subsequently avowed the problem would have been resolved had he been in office the past four years so that, in a remarkably insensitive and condescending statement referring to our citizens who rely on wheelchairs for mobility, could “stand on their own two feet.”

He promised to fix the problems on Jan. 4, apparently unaware that House Republicans have consistently failed to address these issues and that a freshman representative wields no influence over the powerful House leadership hierarchy.

Go to https://youtu.be/Qh4HVXdggl.w and see for yourself the contrast between Rep. Wexton’s positive, factual approach to the issues vs.

Mr. Cao’s rambling off-topic personal anecdotes and tired anti-government rhetoric.

NANCY TREUSCH Warrenton

The will to protect Fauquier is still strong The past 50 years have been relatively peaceful on the land-use front in Fauquier County.

Now comes Amazon.

The Warrenton town manager and supervisor for Center District both resign; the citizens are up in arms with petitions, letters to the editor, road signs, etc. to protect Fauquier’s

beautiful countryside from monster towers which will provide Amazon with the electricity it will need.

The will to protect Fauquier County is alive and doing well.

Warrenton deserves better -- reject data center As both a Warrenton resident and business owner, I have recently begun to focus on the Amazon application for a massive data center to be located in the town.

Not only is the data center problematic from a land use perspective, since it violates the town’s comprehensive plan, but the power substation and major transmission lines required to support the operation of the center promise the industrialization of our charming town.

I was glad to see the letter to the editor last week from Steve Wojcik (“Transparency a necessity in data center deliberations,” Aug. 24) that calls into question the process by which the town has proceeded with the proposal from Amazon. As I read freedom of information documents obtained by local civic and environmental groups, it seems that Amazon could have been allowed a critical role in shaping the 2021 zoning amendment that allows the town council to consider data centers in the Town of Warrenton.

Some years back, the county adopted a zoning provision for data centers that was protective of the county and its citizens. It includes a condition that the county will permit a data center only if any new electric lines are buried on the data center parcels.

That provision is likely the reason that Fauquier has been protected from the flood of data centers that are engulfing neighboring counties, though this does not apply to the town.

The conundrum is, does the town council wish to change this gateway to our town with this massive structure and the enormous above ground power lines that will be required to service it.

I believe that there are areas in Remington and Vint Hill that could service such a facility.

Why did the town omit a provision that would have protected town and county citizens from overhead transmission lines on the site of the data center? Nobody seems to know how that came about. Was it left out at the behest of Amazon, in countless meetings with town staff? The public deserves to know the answers.

I thank the Fauquier Times for the July 26 article that shed much-needed light on the process and agree with Mr. Wojcik that “we deserve much better than this.”

Thank you for your presence in our community and your attention to citizens’ concern.

2022 FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW

Led by Nakamura, potent Cougars want to win district and more; Falcons look dangerous, too Eagles welcome new coach Meher, have numerous players back

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Northwestern District field hockey field has expanded this fall.

KETTLE RUN

-Coach: Julie Kulhberg (third year).

-2021 record: 9-8.

-Returning varsity players: Kaitlyn Nakamura (Sr.), Charlotte Bloom (Sr.), Katie Bloom (Sr.), Jessica Lalwani (Sr.), Lexi Smith (Sr.), Grace Cunningham (Sr.), Lily Powers (Sr.), Olivia Owens (Sr.), Ada Linebaugh (Jr.), Sammy Escobar (Jr.).

-Newcomers: Jane Crossland (Jr.), Lauren Inglett (Jr.), Amber Stone (Soph.), Karen Sylvia (Soph.), Norah Heim (Soph.), Avery Clarke (Fr.), Maggie Crosland (Fr.), Maggie Gardner (Fr.).

-Early results: Lost to Lightridge 3-1 (Aug. 23); beat Heritage 3-2 (OT) (Aug. 25).

-Outlook: With eight seniors as core pieces, Kettle Run’s third-year head field hockey coach Julie Kuhlberg is hoping for big things from the 2022 Cougars.

Big as in a state tournament berth.

“We have eight returning seniors on the field this season. They are coming together well,“ Kuhlberg said of the results thus far. “The girls have been putting work in off the field to strengthen themselves.”

Kettle Run’s big dreams are fueled by a quartet of seniors who gained all-district

performers last season.

Forward Kaitlyn Nakamura was the county’s leading scorer last year with 19 goals and six assists en route to first-team district accolades.

There’s more star power with midfielder Jessica Lalwani, defender Lexi Smith and goalkeeper Katie Bloom, all returning seniors who earned second-team all-district honors last year.

The Cougars led the district until late in the regular season, and Kuhlberg hopes her squad can maintain the upper hand time around behind the veterans and promising underclassmen.

The coach said her crew needs to hone its ability to capitalize on finishing opportunities in the offensive circle tout teams away. “Get the shots around the goalie, not at her feet,” Kuhlberg said.

Kettle Runs already has a quality win under its belt in a 3-2 overtime decision against visiting Heritage of Loudoun County. The win allowed the Cougars to rebound from a 3-1 loss against Lightridge.

Kettle Run opens its district season with a 7 p.m. home game Thursday versus Fauquier. The junior varsity teams will square off at 5:30.

Meridian and Fauquier tied for the regular-season crown in 2021, with Kettle Run hot on the duos’ heels. The same three teams appear to have the edge again this season.

2022 VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW

ALL THREE COULD CONTEND! Fauquier has 10 returnees, Kettle Run has talent and a new coach, and Liberty has opened 3-0

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

The 2022 campaign marks the last time volleyball teams from Liberty, Kettle Run and Fauquier will be battling each other for positions in the Class 4 section of the Northwestern District.

The Virginia High School League’s new state-wide reclassification and redistricting assignments begin next fall, with Fauquier and Kettle Run dropping to the Class 3 category where they’ll battle Brentsville, Skyline, Warren County, Meridian and Manassas Park for that crown.

LIBERTY

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Liberty senior Kendall Turner (middle) is a returning all-district second team pick.

-Coach: Carrie Marek (sixth year).

-2021 record: 5-12.

-Returning varsity players: Elizabeth Bosarge (Sr.), Gorham Taylor (Sr.), Haylee Hardcastle (Sr.), Emalea Novlan (Sr.), Danae Hogan (Sr.), Jayna Tumlin (Sr.), Kendall Turner (Sr.), Abby Wright (Soph.).

-Newcomers: Emily Barnes (Sr.), Aaliyah Olivares (Sr.), Cassidee Acors (Jr.), Abby Vass (Soph.).

-Early results: Beat Brentsville 3-1 (Aug. 22); beat Orange 3-0 (Aug. 25); beat Park View 3-0 (Aug. 29).

-Outlook: The Eagles have registered the fastest start of the county’s triad with a 3-0 record. Liberty has surrendered just one set while winning nine in its strong run.

Sixth-year head coach Carrie Marek has a cadre of eight seniors on hand this fall, with senior Kendall Turner leading after earning a second-team all-district nod as an outside hitter in 2021.

“I am excited about this season,” Marek stated in a

“The girls have been working together for so long the chemistry is great,” Marek continued, explaining the high level of experience will increase the attack’s options.

“A strong point is our teamwork,” the Eagles coach said, “We are working on some more complicated plays this season, but the girls all know each other’s movements well at this point. [The intricate system] is working out well.”

Marek also said Liberty is breaking in two new setters this season, so the early-season schedule is allowing them to get to know their teammates’ tendencies. That increased familiarity will be important when the district slate ramps up in the coming weeks.

The team tackles visiting Brentsville Thursday in a rematch. The Eagles also will be at home Sept. 6 when they open district competition versus Sherando. Liberty then will have its fourth straight home match Sept. 8 against intra-county foe Kettle Run.

Rogers’ defensive TD keys Cougars’ 27-14 win over Heritage

After a strong season-opening 27-14 win over Heritage, Sam Rogers and the Cougars visit Meridian Thursday (0-1) in another road game.

With nothing workKETTLE RUN’S ing on offense, Kettle NEXT GAME: Run needed a big play.

Thursday at Meridian How about a blocked (0-1), 7 p.m. punt for a scoop-andscore TD? Sam Rogers delivered it in the Cougars’ mighty impressive 27-14 win over Heritage last Friday in Leesburg.

Rogers’ 35-yard touchdown late in the second quarter helped Kettle Run to a 7-0 halftime lead.

Three second-half touchdowns later and the Cougars had a statement win over a Dulles District team.

“I told the boys after the game that, outside my first win here as head coach, that was the most exciting win we’ve had here,” said coach Charlie Porterfield.

The Cougars (1-0) played a strong defensive game and got a solid performance from new quarterback Abram Chumley in his first start. With the Kettle Run rushing game limited to 56 yards, Chumley stepped up to complete 10 of 15 passes for 171 yards and two TDs. He connected with Jordan Tapscott on a 20-yard strike for a 13-0 lead and later Colton Quaker on a screen pass for a 61-yard TD that increased the lead to 27-7. Peyton Mehaffey contributed a 10-yard TD run.

But there’s no doubt Rogers’ opening TD was the play of the game. “That blocked punt sparked the team,” said Porterfield.

Despite spirited comeback, Eagles fall short against Brentsville, 40-28

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

It was kind of what coach Travis Buzzo talked about in his preseason comments.

To be a good football team Liberty must come together and learn how to win.

Porterfield said Heritage had not used a rugby punt style in preseason, but did in this instance.

Rogers attacked from the side as the Heritage punter ran his way. “Sam took it off his foot. The ball took two hops and went right back in his arms and he took it down the sideline,” Porterfield said.

After season-ending playoff losses to Dulles District teams the last two years, plus a season-opening 28-25 loss to Heritage last year, the win was deeply satisfying for the two-time defending Northwestern District champs.

“We’ve never beaten this team. This was our last shot to do that with us moving to Class 3 next year. This win was super beneficial for us as a team moving forward. It was a big confidence boost for the boys that we don’t hit on all cylinders and win,” Porterfield said.

Using its size, Heritage stuffed the Kettle Run running game. Offensively, the Pride also tried to overpower Kettle Run with bulk up front, but the Cougars were up to the task.

“They lined up to smash us in the mouth,” said Porterfield. “Our defense was on the field a ton. Heritage got in the red zone and we held, I was super pleased.”

He said Mehaffey’s bruising TD run was “a physical spark” and praised Tapscott, Chumley and Quaker. Besides his TD catch, Tapscott had an interception to set up a score.

“The pass blocking was good. Abram had a fair amount of time to throw. We can get the run game fixed,” Porterfield said.

Hamilton rushes for 116 yards in Falcons’ 44-7 loss to Independence

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The final score sure told the tale, but you needed to be there to know the details.

While Fauquier High lost its football opener, 44-7, to visiting Independence on a muggy Thursday night, it was a passionate effort by the Falcons.

The Tigers, a 7-4 playoff team last year in Class 5, controlled the line of scrimmage and prevented the Falcons’ offense from making any progress. They also unleashed dynamic running back Clay Ash, who ran 16 times for 253 yards and four touchdowns.

Nevertheless, the Falcons continued to hammer away with their gameplan, showing resolve and fortitude that could serve them well Friday at Brentsville. Falcon junior tailback Mason Hamilton carried 27 times for 116 yards and quarterback Ben Noland (5of-8, 27 yards passing) scored the lone touchdown on a 1-yard sneak.

Although they could not stop Ash, the Fauquier defense thwarted Independence’s passing game.

Even Tom Ferrell, Fauquier’s alltime winnningest football coach, was impressed.

Sitting on the top row behind the student section, Ferrell watched the Falcons flash promise and play a pretty, tight cohesive game. “(Hamilton) runs the ball well and their quarterback Noland has thrown well when he has time and their defense is aggressive. There are a lot of positives,” said Ferrell, 76, who guided the Falcons to three

FAUQUIER’S NEXT GAME: Friday at Brentsville (1-0), 7 p.m. district titles and three regional playoff appearances in 11 seasons from 1995 to 2005.

Ash‘s 68-yard TD run put the game away at 29-7 after Fauquier made it 21-7 in the third quarter.

Noland had powered in on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 3:21 left in the third quarter, prompting exuberance from the FHS student section.

Independence scored 23 straight points after that, diminishing Fauquier’s performance somewhat.

Asked how he was feeling, Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter said, “As well as you can feel after a 44-7 loss. It was 21-7 and the kids were competing. But some little things turned into big things,” he said, referring to some missed tackles on Ash and technical mistakes. “Competing hard wasn’t our problem. We competed and went after them.”

Fauquier lined up in an old school power-I formation with two tight ends and hammered away with Hamilton going mostly straight ahead. Hamilton rushed for 84 yards in the first half, including a 47-yard run.

“Mason’s a really good player.

He has very, very good vision and he has a burst,” said Buckwalter.

Hamilton looked like a go-to back in his promising debut. “Once he gets free, he has a gear. He’s a very good player. We’re excited about him,” he said.

VOLLEYBALL, from page 15

KETTLE RUN

-Coach: Rod Crooks (first year).

-2021 record: 10-10.

-Returning varsity players: Haley Balgavy (Sr.), Hannah Carlson (Sr.), Megan May (Sr.), Madison Wheatley (Sr.), Tessa Falsone (Jr.), Mia Jones (Jr.), Ashley Wise (Jr.) -Newcomers: Evelyna Ankomah (Sr.), Paige Lilek (Sr.), Paige Bagwell (Jr.), Victoria Chamberlain (Jr.), Mary Kimmel (Jr.), Caroline Spezzano (Jr.), Gracie Chumley (Soph.).

-Outlook: There is a new face on the sideline at Kettle Run, but he is not lacking experience.

Rod Crooks has assumed command of the Cougar program, replacing Mike Howard who moved from the area.

Crooks coached volleyball for years at Chancellor High in Fredericksburg before becoming athletic director, but he wanted to return to the coaching ranks which is “more fun.”

“I was looking for a good place to settle into and looked everything up on Kettle Run, including (activities director) Paul Frye and thought it would be a great place to coach,” Crooks said. “They were looking for a vacancy, and I was looking for a challenge.”

Crooks likes the available talent and said there has not been much of an adjustment due to the coaching change.

“Volleyball is volleyball,” he began.

“Sometimes we try to make it harder than it is.

“All sports have basics, but then people move on too quickly. We try to do the ‘little things’ right. Make the ordinary extraordinary.”

The Cougars have a mixture of experienced players and newcomers striving to fill voids left by graduation.

Falcon junior Caroline Towle (middle) was honorable mention alldistrict last year.

-Coach: Jen Linthicum (second year).

-2021 record: 9-12 -Early results: Lost to Patriot 3-0 (Aug. 22); beat Briar Woods 3-1 (Aug. 29).

-Returning varsity players: Mikayla Gilmore (Sr.), Katie Hardy (Sr.), Emma Edwards (Sr.), Emma Zewatsky (Sr.), Stephanie Clark (Jr.), Leah Kelso (Jr.), Caroline Towle (Jr.), Marcela Lawhorn (Jr.), Audrey Hall (Jr.), Jacqueline Janecek (Jr.).

-Newcomers: Therese Heisler (Sr.), Gracie Campbell (Jr.), Maddy Fox (Jr.), Brooke Propheter (Soph.).

-Outlook: Fauquier coach Jen Linthicum has good expectations for this version of Falcon volleyball.

COVID-19 issues helped to derail the 2021 club, and the team lost several key players to graduation. Still, there are 10 varsity returnees, and the squad’s two preseason scrimmages demonstrated this version is ready to compete if the necessary focus is present.

“We definitely have potential,” she stressed after the second scrimmage that included perennial powers Stone Bridge and Loudoun Valley.

Linthicum has a host of reliable front row hitters and blockers, led by junior Caroline Towle, an honorable mention all-Northwestern District player a year ago. The key will be the team’s passing, which had been good at times and off kilter at others heading into the season.

Fauquier opened with a 3-0 loss at Class 6 Patriot before gaining its first win, 3-1, Monday at Class 5 Briar Woods.

The Falcons again will face formidable competition from Millbrook, James Wood and Sherando from the Winchester area, so the road to a Region 4C berth has its potential pitfalls.

They open the district schedule Sept.

6 at Millbrook. Fauquier will not play a county rival until a Sept. 22 home contest versus Liberty, the Falcons’ 11th match of the year.

THE HONORABLE

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Senior Haley Balgavy was an honorable mention all-district pick for the Cougars last year.

He stressed the overall work ethic is admirable “and that will be a true strength as the season progresses.

“We are a team and will continue to grow as a team.”

The new coach has some knowledge of the Northwestern District lineup, he said. Crooks has coached against James Wood in regional play. He also regularly competed against the Colonels, Fauquier and Sherando at Liberty University’s annual summer team camp.

“I know [the district] is strong. I don’t plan on underestimating anyone along the way,” Crooks said.

Kettle Run will play at Liberty Sept.

6, two days after its district opener at James Wood.

-Coach: Brooke Settle (14th year).

-2021 record: 11-7-1.

-Newcomers: Sophie Bell (Sr.), McKenna Locke (Soph.), Addie Gorg (Soph.), Georgia Grady (Soph.), Kirsten Settle (Fr.).

-Outlook: Three games into the regular season, Fauquier field hockey coach Brooke Settle still is mulling what her best alignment is.

“We’re still trying to figure out what the best mold is for this lineup,” Settle said Monday night after a 5-4 home loss to a good Loudoun Valley team dropped the Falcons to 1-2.

“Who is better on the left side versus on the right side. We just have some young people who are still getting the basics. We are getting progressively better each game,” she added.

Settle is pleased with the team’s ability to score quickly, but she also noted her team squandered chances versus the Vikings. The more troubling issue is the inability to stop the opposite attack, especially on penalty corner situations. Loudoun Valley tallied three of its goals off those attempts.

Fauquier’s goals came from Kirsten Settle, Sophie Bell, Jackie Timberlake and McKenna Locke. Timberlake,

-Early results: Lost to Orange 3-0 (Aug. 23); lost to Loudoun Valley 6-0 (Aug. 25).

-Outlook: The biggest question this fall for Liberty field hockey is the ability to score.

The Eagles struggled much of last fall to get the ball into scoring position, resulting in pressure on the defensive side.

New head coach Megan Nefer hopes the team can improve that facet as confidence builds.

“We have only had two scrimmages so far, but we have improved since the first one,” she said recently. “Once we build more confidence, I am sure the scoring will increase and get better.”

The Eagles still are searching for the elusive first score after opening with regular-season setbacks to Loudoun

Valley and Orange.

Nefer, who coached in New Jersey before moving to Liberty last year, said the team’s attitude remains positive. She witnesses effort every day in practice and believes the work will pay off.

“The girls have been working hard, listening to feedback, and motivating each other throughout the practices,” Nefer offered. “I am excited to see the talent on this team grow as we continue on in our season.

“The girls have connected well from the very beginning of the season. That bond will help them to become more in sync with each other when it comes to game time.”

The coach hopes her charges will continue to work toward shifting the ball to the opposite side of the field to gain advantages versus the defense. She emphasized there is one chief ingredient in achieving that aim.

“The girls are starting to communicate on the field…talking solves 99% of the problems,” Nefer said.

Liberty will host Dominion Wednesday and open its district campaign Sept. 14 against district newcomer Brentsville.

Halliday-Sharp wins Great Meadow International with last-minute race to the finish Horses and horsepower

Liz Halliday-Sharp, 43, grew up in San Diego, studying biology at University of California Santa Barbara before embarking on a career as a sports car and GT endurance racing driver. She was a commentator and pit reporter for auto racing, covering the Le Mans 24, Lotus and Alfa Romeo series.

She’d pursued car racing at the same time she took her childhood passion of riding and eventing to the next level, moving to England to train with Olympian William Fox Pitt at age 21. She spent 20 years there before moving back to the states in 2019.

“I had to choose one or the other, horses or car racing.“I chose horses,” she said.

Halliday-Sharp is now based in Lexington, Kentucky, and Ocala, Florida.

She’s been on the U.S. Equestrian high performance training list, ridden on multiple Nation’s Cup teams and was reserve rider at the 2018 World Equestrian Games and 2019 Pan American Games.

She was named to the U.S. three-day event squad for the Tokyo Olympics last year, but a bone bruise put her horse, Deniro Z, out of action just before the team shipped out.

PHOTOS BY BETSY BURKE PARKER

Former racecar driver Liz Halliday-Sharp traded horsepower for horses, something she says she’ll never regret. She won the weekend’s Great Meadow International with Cooley Quicksilver on the basis of nearly flawless jumping tests.

Final outing for World Championship pairs ‘a big success,’ according to team chef Costello

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

It was like deja-vous, all over again for Liz Halliday-Sharp this weekend in The Plains.

Aboard Cooley Quicksilver, the Kentucky-based pro clawed from fifth after dressage on the first day of competition to post double-clear show jumping on day two and no jumping faults cross-country on day three, topping an elite field to win the Aug. 25 to 28 Great Meadow International four-star.

Her 2020 GMI victory took the same trajectory, Halliday-Sharp and Deniro Z moving from fourth after dressage to fault-free jumping rounds for the win. It underlines the basis of the three-phase sport, she said, a test of the well-rounded equine athlete in what many call the triathlon of the equestrian world.

“It’s not just a dressage show,” said Halliday-Sharp. “It’s much more.”

Great Meadow was the gray gelding’s third four-star win, having won the Kentucky four-star in April and

Georgia’s Chattahoochee Hills last year. Halliday-Sharp was “completely thrilled with” the Irish import, 11.

“It’s his first run back since (finishing fifth in Germany at) Luhmühlen, and he just keeps getting better.”

She added that the bold, gray Irish Sport Horse has the right skillset for elite eventing – elegance for performing the intricate dressage pattern, bravery, stamina and speed to tackle intimidating cross-country fences over a timed obstacle course and the purely athletic form to clear show jumping rails.

Halliday-Sharp recognized that she cut it close, finishing a single second over the optimum time for the 2 1/2-mile track – 6:35. It added .4 penalties to her dressage mark; any more faults would have given second-placed Tamie Smith and Mai Baum the win.

She wasn’t worried.

Cooley Quicksilver “is really fast,” Halliday-Sharp said. “He’s got very little thoroughbred blood, but he’s just a phenomenal athlete.”

Time mattered over the cross-country track laid out by hometown Olympic champion and course designer David O’Connor, 32 jumping efforts in 22 numbered obstacles. Making time – optimum was 6:34 — O’Connor acknowledged, is tricky at Great Meadow, with rolling terain, switchback turns and several complex, multi-element fences. Too fast and you risk a run-out or a tired, compromised horse, he said, too slow and you add penalties.

Only seven-time Olympian Phillip Dutton made time. Dutton ended up ninth aboard Sea of Clouds, moving up from 25th after dressage.

Tamie Smith and Mai Baum held a commanding lead after dressage with 20.5, jumping double-clear in show jumping. But they finished slow on cross-country, adding 6.4 time faults to finish second. Local rider Will Coleman and Off the Record placed third.

Smith and Coleman and three other U.S. team riders used GMI as their final outing before shipping to Europe later this week to prepare for the Sept. 15 to 18 World Championships. Chef d’equipe Bobby Costello said the riders know best the type of practice their horses needed.

“I think everybody rode very intelligently,” Costello said. “Quick

enough to give their horses a work but nothing crazy. I was really happy.”

Also headed to the World Championships, Ariel Grald was 11th with Leamore Master Plan, Boyd Martin 18th with Tsetserleg, Lauren Nicholson of the Plains 19th with Vermiculus.

Reserve pair Phillip Dutton and Z finished 20th.

Horses fly to France on Friday, basing east of Paris for two weeks of acclimatization and training before going to Pratori, Italy, for the championship.

U.S. Equestrian Federation selectors will name the team and which pair will compete in the individual competition by Sunday.

In other divisions, Halliday-Sharp and Ocala Horse Properties’ Shanroe Cooley finished on their dressage score, 26.1, to win the three-star, with Alyssa Phillips and Cornelius Bo picking up their second-straight two-star Great Meadow victory.

Preliminary divisions were won by Hannah Sue Hollberg and Jacqueline Mars and Christa Schmidt’s J and Erin Kanara and Claudia Schultze’s Virginia-bred Windchase Lionstar.

GMI results and more photos are available at greatmeadowinternational.com. Follow the World Championships team at usef.org.

Virginia-bred thoroughbred and World Equestrian Games veteran Donner was honored with a retirement ceremony before Saturday’s show jumping. He was led into the main arena ‘for the last time,’ said his choked up, lifelong partner and Virginia pony club graduate Lynn Symansky.

Moms for Liberty wants 14 more books removed from school libraries BOOKS, from page 8

Meeting on challenged books set at Kettle Run High School

This is the second set of books the Fauquier chapter of Moms for Liberty has asked to be removed from school libraries. In June, Moms for Liberty asked for a school-level review of three books the group wants pulled from the shelves at Kettle Run High School.

Those books are “Out of Darkness,” by Ashley Hope Perez, “A Court of Mist and Fury,” by Sarah J. Maas, and “Deogratias, A Tale of Rwanda,” by Jean-Philippe Stassen.

No decision has been made yet on those titles, but Bowman said Kettle Run Principal Meaghan Brill had summoned the group’s leadership to a meeting Aug. 29 to discuss “Deogratias, A Tale of Rwanda.”

None of the Moms for Liberty’s local leadership will be able to attend because of other commitments, but Brill declined to reschedule the meeting, Bowman said.

In an email, school officials declined to discuss the Aug. 29 meeting. However, Tara Helkowski, director of communications and community engagement, said a decision was unlikely to be made during the meeting, which is part of a school-based review outlined in the Fauquier school division’s policies

The Fauquier chapter of Moms for Liberty says it wants these 14 books removed from Fauquier schools. (Most of these titles are available in the Fauquier County Public Library.): • “Almost Perfect,” by Brian Katcher. (2009) Young adult fiction. Winner of Stonewall Book Award (Award for LGBTQ books).

• “Crank,” by Ellen Hopkins. (2004) First book in a young adult fiction series about addiction. Loosely based on addiction of author’s daughter.

• “Eleanor and Park,” by Rainbow Rowell. (2012) Young adult fiction about two star-crossed misfits.

• “Fade,” by Lisa McMann. (2009) Young adult fiction. Second in a series about a girl who taps into other people’s dreams.

She investigates an alleged sex ring at her high school that involves teachers using a date rape drug on students.

• “Flamer,” by Mike Curato. (2020) Graphic novel set in a Boy Scout summer camp.

• “Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic,” by Alison Bechdel. (2006) Graphic novel. Stonewall Book Award. Time Magazine #1 Book of the Year, National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist, Double finalist for the Lambda Book Award, Nominated for the GLAAD Media Award.

• “Girls Like Us,” by Gail Giles. (2015) A novel about two special-education teens entering adulthood. Schneider Family Book Award (Award given by the American Library Association recognizing authors and illustrators for the excellence of portrayal of the disability experience in literature for youth.)

• “Last Night at the Telegraph Club,” by Malinda Lo. (2021) Young adult historical fiction about a queer teen.

National Book Award winner, Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature, Stonewall Book Award, Asian/Pacific American Award winner for Youth Literature.

• “Looking for Alaska,” by John Green. (2005) Young adult fiction about a boy who seeks answers to questions about life and death after a fatal car crash. Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award (American Library Association literary award).

• “Nineteen Minutes,” by Jody Picoult. (2007) A novel about the aftermath of a school shooting.

• “Milk and Honey,” by Rupi Kaur. (2014) Collection of prose and poetry about survival.

• “Seeing Gender: An illustrated Guide to Identity and Expression,” by Iris Gottlieb. (2019) Nonfiction.

• “Sold,” by Patricia McCormick. (2006) National Book Award finalist about human trafficking.

• “What Girls are Made of,” by Elana Arnold. (2017) Finalist for National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. for challenged books.

“The school-based committee will likely hold more than one meeting on each book,” Helkowski said.

No decision was made at the meeting Aug. 29, Bowman said just before press time Tuesday. “The process may continue, depending on the initial decision and how the complainant wishes to proceed based on the decision made,” Helkowski said.

The final decision in a multi-step process rests with the school board.

At the rate the school division is going, decisions on each of the 17

books could take two years, Bowman said. The Moms for Liberty challenges are the first challenges to books in the Fauquier division in 22 years.

Challenges have been escalating nationwide in the past few years, due in large part to groups like Moms for Liberty. In 2021, a total of 1,597 titles were challenged nationwide, Caldwell-Stone said.

“Some of these books have been challenged because they deal with difficult experiences in life,” she said, including date rape and other

forms of sexual violence.

“These are books meant to be read by adolescents or young adults … and many of them grapple with life-changing events that can be horrific, but the books are intended to show how people persevere or how they cope or how they become better persons,” Caldwell-Stone said. She said that the books are considered literature and are not focused on or meant to be read for sexual arousal.

OBITUARIES Mary K. (Simpson) Esper

James (Woody) Hull, Sr.

MARION, VIRGINIA

James (Woody) Hull, Sr. (76), departed this life on Wednesday, August 24, 2022. God decided it was time for this joyous spirit to enter eternal rest.

Woody was born on February 23, 1946 in Fauquier County. He was married to Barbara Lorraine Booker on July 10, 2004 whom he leaves to cherish his memory.

Many others will also cherish his memory including his only Son James “Money” (Melissa) Hull, Jr.; Grandsons, Devonte Parham and Dustin Hull; Granddaughter, Analise Hull; Great Grandsons, Zaiden Parham and Troyden Parham. He also is survived by several siblings and a host of nieces and nephews.

Woody was predeceased by his parents, the late Pernell & Verline Hull, his brother, William Billy Hull and sister Laverne Bumbrey.

Woody may not have been a rich man but he was rich in spirit and in his heart and was always willing to help out anyone in any way that he could without expecting anything in return. He was known as the hardest working man around his way – he was always on the go, looking for work, trying to make a dollar! He loved to drive his old “raggedy but right” truck, dance and one of his favorite sayings was, “Don’t worry about the beef in the can, just worry about the barbecue man – yello.”

Funeral arrangements will be held at A.L. Bennet and Son Funeral home in Fredericksburg, VA on Saturday, September 3, 2022 starting at 10am.

Mary K. Esper, age 73, left this earth to join her loving husband, James A. Esper, Saturday, August 20, 2022.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert E. and Virginia D. (Ginny) Simpson.

Mary is survived by her sister, Nan Neese and husband, Everett; She was cherished by her niece and loving caregiver Morgan Niece and great-niece Hadley; nephew Matthew Neese and significant other Tonya Dancy and great-niece Madeline Esper. Mary is also survived by “Jim’s” loving family, brother Richard Esper and wife Janey and their son James.

Mary received a B.A. from Bridgewater College and her M.Ed. from George Mason University and taught Middle School Language Arts in Prince William County until her retirement. Between 1982 to 1988 her articles on developing reading excellence were published in several professional journals and newsletters. Mary herself was an avid reader but most important to her was her steadfast love for and friendship with Jim. The Neese family wishes to extended their sincere appreciation to the Wythe Hospice of Southwest Virginia, 1155 North Street, Wytheville, Va. 24382, and the loving care givers of Senior Home Share, LLC. The family and special friends will share a private moment in celebration of Mary’s life at Seaver-Brown Chapel.

Care for Mary’s family has been entrusted to Seaver-Brown Funeral Service & Crematory, 237 East Main Street, Marion, Va. 24354.

Richard Dennis ‘Dennie’ Moats

Lynne Marie Markley

Richard Dennis ‘Dennie’ Moats, age 88, of Midland, VA passed peacefully on August 19, 2022 at his farm, surrounded by his family. He was born on November 20th, 1933 in Fairmont, WV, son of the late Fred & Alice Moats.

Dennie joined the United States Navy after he graduated from Fairmont High School and proudly served his country during the Korean War on the USS Loeser. Upon his honorable discharge, he used his GI Bill to attend college while also working in the West Virginia coal mines. He then moved to Northern Virginia and went to work at Southland Corporation where he remained for 27 years before accepting early retirement.

He and his wife then opened a chain of convenience stores called the Country Store throughout Fauquier County. You would often see him in one of the stores cooking, cleaning or chatting it up with his many customers. He officially retired yet again in 2001, but not being one to just sit around, he went to work for the Fauquier County Public School Transportation Department driving special education students, a job he took great joy in doing.

Dennie was a true character – a salt of the earth kind of guy who enjoyed gardening, smoking Marlboro Lights and drinking only the very finest beer, Budweiser. He had an exceptional work ethic, spoke exactly what he was thinking, and loved his family tremendously. He always had a soft spot for animals and will be dearly missed by his fur baby, Allie.

Dennie is survived by his wife of 56 years, Laura ‘Jo’ Cox Moats; two daughters, Rebecca Moats Miller & her husband, Charles of Warrenton, VA and Elizabeth Diane Woodson & her husband, Steven of Midland, VA; four grandsons, Michael, Brent, Steven & Jeremy; two great grandchildren, Asher & Anna; niece, Anna-Marie, nephew Johnny D and loving sister-in-law, Ginny.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a sister, Delores DeGardeyn.

The family received friends on Wednesday, August 24 from 6 to 8 pm at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA 20186.

Service and interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Heartland Hospice.

Lynne Marie Markley, 62, passed away at home with her family on August 22, 2022, following a courageous 13-year battle with cancer. She was born in Greenfield, MA, to Kenneth and Eleanor Caouette.

Lynne was a gifted multi-sport athlete. Two of her hurdle records from Greenfield High School stood for more than three decades. She also coached several girl’s youth softball championship teams and enjoyed serving with her father as an NCAA certified collegiate track and field official. Lynne played field hockey at North Adams State College and graduated with a degree in Computer Science.

Lynne worked for the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA, and moved to her home in Fauquier County after being married.

She worked at Datatel, Inc. as a programmer/analyst before having children, volunteered at M.M. Pierce Elementary for more than 10 years and served as the PTO president, and completed her working career at Fauquier County Library in Warrenton, where she had some of her most beloved friends.

Lynne is survived by her husband of 30 years, Mike, and son Russell (Rusty) and daughter Emily of Remington. She is also survived by her father Kenneth R. Caouette of East Longmeadow, MA; sisters Debra and her husband David Maslauskas of Greenfield, MA, and Karen and her husband Bill Conley of Ellington, CT; nieces Laura (Maslauskas) and her husband Edward Murphy of Simsbury, CT, Mary Beth (Caouette) and her husband Kyle Bowler of Kensington, CT, Michelle (Caouette) and her husband Dylan Murphy of Greenwood, IN, Kelly Conley of Watertown, MA, and Courtney Conley of Southington, CT; nephews Matt Maslauskas of Astonia, NY, and Billy Conley III, of New York City.

She was predeceased by her mother Eleanor Caouette and brother Kenneth Caouette.

The family will receive friends from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 2, at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA. Funeral services will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 3, at the Town of Remington Cemetery, 11910 Cemetery Rd., Remington, VA. The family requests that you consider donations in her honor to Fauquier County Public Library, Morgan’s Message that supports mental health for athletes at https://morgansmessage.org/donate, or for designated free cancer screenings through Planned Parenthood.

OBITUARIES Dorothy Stultz Poe

Patrick Murray Buchanan

Dorothy Stultz Poe passed away peacefully in her home on August 25, 2022. She is reunited in death with her husband of 38 years, Jim Poe. She leaves behind her greatest joys – her children James Baxley (Tanya Kostenko) Poe and Margi (Robert) Falconi; grandchildren Kelly Falconi, Robert (Sarah Jacobson) Falconi, April (Ed Mengel) Falconi, Laura (Kenny Brown) Falconi and Diana (Jay) Desai; and great-grandchildren Jake Falconi, Harper Falconi, Clare Mengel, Audrey Mengel and Elena Brown.

Dottie was born on July 26,1930 in Washington DC into home that was always filled with music. She went on to earn a music degree from Mary Washington College and began a loving married life with Jim in Wytheville, VA in 1953. As she and Jim raised their family, Dottie was the favorite teacher of countless thirdgrade students at Roanoke Catholic Elementary School. When she retired from teaching, Dottie and Jim embraced life in horse country where she loved tending to the animals and gardens. Her later years were spent in a lovely spot in Reston, where she was thankful to be able to lead a very active life close to family.

Wherever Dottie lived, her home was a wonderful place to visit, and everyone felt comfortable and welcome. She loved to host big family gatherings, but even little visits were made special with pretty plates and a glass of champagne. Dottie wanted to know all about you, and whenever you were around Dottie, you felt understood, appreciated and loved.

Her devotion to her Catholic faith and her service to the community were an inspiration to those who worshipped with her throughout her life at Our Lady of Nazareth, Saint Stephen’s and Saint Thomas à Becket.

She developed an ever-broader valuation for people of other beliefs and backgrounds as well. She volunteered and ministered to others in many ways, just one example being the heartfelt hand written notes that found their way to anyone needing encouragement or comfort.

Please join us in celebrating Dottie’s life. Funeral Mass, September 9, 11:00, Saint Thomas à Becket, Reston, VA. Burial, September 14, 11:30, Leeds Cemetery, Markham, VA. Royston Funeral Home at Roystonfh.com

After graduating Virginia Tech in 1996 with a degree in Accounting he worked briefly at Travelers Insurance. He then went on to become a Statistics Analyst at ESPN where his love of sports grew and flourished into his passion for baseball. A goal to visit any and all major/minor league parks was always in view. Statistics. No one knew more, as most in baseball would attest to. Doug decided to leave ESPN but continued his work in sports by freelancing and blogging before settling most recently with Jackson Hewitt Tax Service in West Hartford.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Linda J. Kern (Stephens).

Survivors include his father James F. Kern and step-mother Bobbie of Lawrenceville, Ga. Aunt Connie Kotula and husband Jack of Rehoboth Beach Del. His extended family, Paul Bream, wife Crystal and their two children of Suwanee, Ga; Bobbie Andrews and two nephews of Loganville, Ga.; Calvin, Kevin, Karl, Kent and Karen Bream and families of Pennsylvania and New Jersey Due to the fact that Doug had numerous friends and sports acquaintances across the country it has been decided to have a virtual memorial service. A date will be announced.

It’s never too late to share your loved one’s story.

Place a memoriam today. jcobert@fauquier.com | 540.270.4931 540-351-1664

Even the most loquacious person may experience writer’s block when asked to eulogize a loved one. First, recall the way the person lived and what stands out as meaningful. Sharing memories is often the best way to honor a loved one and can help process the loss. A story or memory that exemplifies the deceased’s personality or values is always an appropriate choice. Focus on details rather than making general statements. Start the eulogy by introducing yourself and your relationship to the deceased, and then follow these guidelines: stick to approximately one thousand words (about 7 minutes long); keep the tone personal and conversational; and write down what you want to say even if you don’t plan to use notes.

Life is full of opportunities to show someone we love them. One such opportunity is the funeral or memorial service.

Such a loving event celebrates the choices they made, the relationship you shared, and honors the memory of your loved one.

MOSER FUNERAL HOME accommodates all families, treating each one as if they were our own. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.

Everyone dies, but not everyone lives.”
