Fauquier County man dies after assault at CVS

Suspect is in custody, being held with no bond By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer

A Fauquier County man has died after he was assaulted last week in the CVS parking lot in Warrenton. Malcolm McIntyre, 78, died Tuesday, a week after he was allegedly assaulted by Sonny Sauceda, 40, in the parking lot of the CVS at 510 Blackwell Road. At about 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 13, an altercation was reported involving a man with a brick in the drugstore parking lot. First responders found McIntyre unconscious on the

Olympic athletes receive every possible treatment to help them perform at their peak — whether they have four legs or two. So, when the U.S. eventing horses stepped off the plane in France last month, they did so along with a sports massage therapist from Fauquier County. Linda Vegher, 45, has been massaging horses since 2016. She accompanied the eventing horses to the 2022 World Championships

in Italy, the 2023 Pan American Games in Chile and the 2024 Paris Olympics last month. She worked alongside team veterinarian Susan Johns, also based in Fauquier at Virginia Equine Imaging in The Plains. Vegher said her job is “making sure that the horse is comfortable, functioning at their best ability.” “Horse welfare is always first and foremost,” she said. “If they’re not feeling 100%, they’re not going to be able to give their 110%.” An equine patient can’t tell you where they’re stiff or sore, Vegher said, so she will start a session by assessing a horse at the walk.

Suspect arrested six days before CVS assault

Neighbors surprised by smashed windows By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer

The suspect in the Aug. 13 assault at the Warrenton CVS that resulted in the death of a 78-yearold man was arrested six days earlier, charged with destroying property in Warrenton. According to police allegations, Sonny Ray Sauceda smashed nine windows — including car windows and at one of his neighbor’s homes — with a hammer near his home on Driftwood Court on Aug. 8. He was arrested and charged with three felony counts but was released on Aug. 9. Just five days later, he allegedly attacked Malcolm McIntyre at CVS. McIntyre later died at a Fairfax hospital. The afternoon of his earlier arrest, Sauceda told the police that he was anxious about his upcoming divorce and had smoked marijuana. He then left his house and walked around the cul-de-sac at the end of Driftwood Court, smashing the window of every car he passed: an Acura, a Nissan, a Chevrolet, two Toyotas, three Hondas and the front

window of Kevin and Paulette Dolan’s house. “We had (sic) a smashing sound,” Kevin Dolan, said, “so I went to the front door.” Once he was outside, Dolan approached Sauceda cautiously, noticing that the back window of his car had also been smashed, and his neighbor was carrying a large hammer. Sauceda said to Dolan, “You have a gun; shoot me; I don’t want to live,” Dolan recalled “That’s when we realized there was a problem,” Paulette Dolan said. She and her daughter both called 911. Sauceda walked back to his house and sat on his porch step, the hammer beside him, until police arrived, according to Kevin Dolan. Several police cars and an EMT responded. Sauceda was arrested, charged with six counts of misdemeanor damage to property and three counts of felony damage to property. He was released on a $2,500 bond on Aug 9. After his release, Sauceda allegedly attacked McIntyre at the Warrenton CVS with a brick. He told a responding officer that he had assaulted McIntyre and was arrested at the scene. He has since been held in custody with no bond. “You would never have expected it from this

I love live music,” Jenn Robinson said. “I’m dating myself, but I was a big ‘80s fan. We had been to a restaurant in another state with a rock ‘n’ roll vibe. And we were like, ‘Well, that would be really fun.’” In addition to the “licorice pizzas” adorning the walls, the new restaurant will serve pizzas — the edible kind — fresh from the brick oven fans of Black Bear Bistro knew and loved. “We want to give the people what they want and keep the pizza, so, we’ll have that,” Jenn Robinson said. In partnership with local Whiffletree Farms, Whiffle burgers and dogs are also on the menu, alongside foods like baked potatoes, chicken wings and handmade craft cocktails. Fans of food and music can look forward to trying fried Oreo Speed-

wagon, Bread Zeppelin garlic knots and Toast Malone. Sports fans can watch their favorite teams on TVs throughout the restaurant or try their hand at the Golden Tee golf arcade game. Jenn Robinson also plans to host live music on Saturday nights on the back patio. “We want to just make sure that people are enjoying the fun rock ‘n’ roll vibe and the atmosphere and love it as much as they love Denim and Pearls,” she said. “So, fingers crossed.” Licorice Pizza’s hours are 11 a.m. until midnight except on Sundays, when it’ll close at 10 p.m. Jenn Robinson also hopes to begin offering delivery service in 2025. Also, in the near future, the restaurant intends to enclose the patio and install heaters so that it can be used year-round. “We’re just super excited to get open and to have another business as part of Old Town,” Jenn Robinson said. “We’re establishing our roots there because we

According to court documents, Sauceda admitted to the attack at the scene. “I’ll admit to everything,” Sauceda told the arresting officer, according to the criminal complaint. “I attacked that man with a brick of my own volition. I just wanted to hurt him, so I attacked him with a brick. Now, I’m regretting it, of course. I’m praying that he lives.” Sauceda had been arrested less than a week earlier, on Aug. 8, after allegedly smashing car windows on

the street where he lives. Warrenton police detectives will continue to investigate the case, and evidence has been sent to the Department of Forensic Science for analysis, according to officials. Additional charges are expected after consultation with the Fauquier County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office and after results are received from the Medical Examiner’s Office and the Department of Forensic Science, according to officials.

family,” Paulette Dolan said. The Sauceda family moved to Driftwood Court, directly across from the Dolans, in 2019. The Dolans said their new neighbors were a quiet family. Kevin Dolan met Sauceda trick-or-treating with his children and had a friendly conversation with Sauceda once at the firing range. “We have been in this house for 24 years, and there has not been one problem,” said Paulette Dolan, who said she was shaken by the series of events. “It’s a very quiet cul-de-sac.” Kevin Dolan said he didn’t think Sauceda was thinking rationally while he was smashing windows.“He was looking for some type of resolution, solution or release,” Kevin Dolan guessed. “He was just visibly not in control. He needed help,” Kevin Dolan told the Fauquier Times on Aug. 22. “That’s why we called the police and that’s why I’m not stressing over a window breaking. I hope he gets help.” Sauceda has been charged with aggravated malicious wounding stemming from the assault at CVS, but more charges are likely as a result of McIntyre’s death.

Warrenton-Fauquier Airport looks to its future, seeks grant funding for self-serve fueling stations By Kate Seltzer

Contributing Writer

Changes could be coming to Warrenton-Fauquier Airport. Thanks to support from the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors and nearly $1 million in federal funding, the airport plans to add a self-serve fueling station for private airplanes and repair its taxiways. The board of supervisors authorized airport officials last month to apply for a Federal Aviation Administration grant to pay for those initiatives. The airport is also receiving more than $965,000 in federal Airport Improvement Grants to rehabilitate existing taxiways and lighting and update its layout and master plan. “We close at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. on the weekends,” said Dave Huss, director of the airport. “Pilots flying in after that can’t get gas.” A self-serve fueling station would eliminate that problem, he said. Huss said fuel sales account for much of the airport’s profits. Most planes flying in and out of the airport will burn 8 to 12 gallons of fuel an hour. At roughly $6 a gallon, that worked out to about $163,000 last fiscal year. Money from fuel sales and other sources of revenue, such as rented hangar space, is reinvested into the airport and is just enough to pay salaries and keep the lights on, Huss said. Hangar space is also in hot demand. The county owns four hangars, totaling 50 units. Another hangar with 10 units was destroyed in a storm two years ago. Each hangar is like an apartment building, where pilots or companies — such as the two flight schools that operate out of the airport — rent individual units to store their planes. Private companies own an additional four hangars totaling 76 units, and pilots pay rent or ownership fees to the owners, who pay the county for using the land under a 30-year lease.

A view of the terminal at the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport. It’s a steady monthly income for the county but allows less discretion over who rents those units. One result: Some planes stored there have not been flown for years. All the units are full, and part of Huss’s vision for the airport involves building new hangars to meet a growing need. “We want to replace this row of hangers that we lost and add some more capacity,” he said. “We have a hangar waiting list of 50 or 60 people. If you build it, they will come.” In addition, the existing hangars were constructed in the 1960s, and it shows. In the unit where Huss stores his own plane, a bad winter storm means there will be snow inside. “They’re a bit of a fire hazard, and we’ve prepared as best we can, but there could be another storm that causes damage, or something like that,” Huss said of the 60-year-old hangars. “My estimate is they’ve got five or six years left in them and then they’re going to have to be replaced or torn down.” That will be an expensive endeavor. Hangars aren’t eligible for grant money. Though insurance money from the destroyed building would

cover the site survey and other preliminary measures required by the FAA, if the county chose to build and immediately control the new hangars, it would be 20 years before it recouped the $2 million to $4 million in construction costs before making any money. Alternatively, the county could contract with and fund the hangars through a building company, which would lease the land and pay the county a monthly fee for 30 years. Some of the airport improvement funding the county has received can be used to update the airport’s layout, though, which will be needed to ultimately add hangars. Last year, Warrenton-Fauquier Airport reported almost 40,000 flights, many of which involved training activity at the two flight schools with locations at the airport. As a general aviation airport, Warrenton-Fauquier has no scheduled airline flights or chartered service. But it’s attractive to pilots flying private planes, in part, because the airport lies outside of a post-9/11 flight-restricted zone surrounding Washington, D.C. That zone covers Manassas and Leesburg, which both have simi-

lar-sized airports. “You don’t find too many private general aviation airplanes flying around” in the flight-restricted zone, Huss said. “It’s not impossible, but it requires a lot of work from the pilots. Out here, you can fly where you want.” As part of its general aviation mission, the airport also hosts activities such as skydiving and rides in vintage planes and events like Young Eagles and Women Can Fly, designed to get young people and women interested in aviation. The airport itself has a spacious lobby, a conference room, a full kitchen and a lounge for pilots and crews, and it occasionally serves as a public meeting and event space. Though there are upsides to an airport surrounded by farmland, such as minimal complaints about noise, the rural location poses a challenge for future economic development. “We would love to attract more businesses,” said Doug Parsons, director of the Fauquier County Department of Economic Development. “Water and sewer infrastructure is the main bottleneck; we just don’t have public water and sewer at the airport. “And so, in order to have any kind of significant new development, new businesses coming in that can provide jobs and a tax base to the county, we need to develop that infrastructure,” he said. Still, Parsons said the county appreciates existing businesses, such as the flight schools, that operate out of the airport. “We’re grateful that they’re there,” he said. “Bringing in more folks like that, from an economic development standpoint, I think that’s what really moves the needle. But certainly, the self-service jet fuel and upgrading those facilities is a big deal for the pilots.” Reach Kate Seltzer at kseltzer@ fauquier.com.

Warrenton Town Council will fight court ruling on Amazon data center emails By Peter Cary

Contributing Writer

The Warrenton Town Council will appeal a recent court ruling that sided with a local citizens group’s effort to obtain about 3,000 emails sent among town officials about the Amazon data center approved near U.S. 29 and Blackwell Road. The Virginia Court of Appeals sided with Citizens for Fauquier County last month in its lawsuit seeking the emails under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Now, the matter heads to the Virginia Supreme Court, which will decide whether to hear the case. At issue is how to interpret state law on what kinds of emails can be withheld from FOIA requests. In 2022, after the citizens group requested town government emails pertaining to the data center, the town withheld 3,142 due to wording in the state

code that exempts correspondence and working papers of the mayor or chief executive officer. The appeals court ruled that the FOIA exemption applies to the mayor or the town manager — but not both. It remanded the case to Fauquier County Circuit Court with instructions to rehear the lawsuit. The Piedmont Journalism Foundation, which owns the Fauquier Times, joined 24 other organizations in an amicus brief on the appeal. The town council’s decision came on a 4-3 vote near the end of a fiveand-a-half-hour meeting on Aug. 13. The vote was taken after a closed session, and there was no public discussion on the issue. Mayor Carter Nevill said in a text message that the council’s decision “was driven by a desire for the court to clarify the code” about what emails are exempt from disclosure.

“Our interpretation of the code led to the claimed exemptions,” he said. “It never had anything to do with content. We believe that municipalities deserve to have this clause clarified in the interest of government function and transparency.” Councilman Bill Semple said Thursday he was torn. On the one hand, he said, he would like to see a high court ruling on how to read the Freedom of Information Act so it would become the final law of the land. On the other hand, he didn’t like the idea of the town doubling down on what he considered a bad decision to withhold 3,142 emails that had been requested under VFOIA. “Why do we have FOIA? It’s to keep government from making decisions behind the scenes, and everything we’re doing with these emails is reinforcing the opposite,” he said.

“I think there was no basis for withholding the emails to begin with,” said Councilman Eric Gagnon. Gagnon, Semple and Councilman Paul Mooney voted against appealing the ruling. The town’s move brought a strong reaction from Kevin Ramundo, president of Citizens for Fauquier County, who called it an effort “to avoid releasing thousands of public records related to approving the Amazon data center in Warrenton.” In his view, the appeals court ruling “clearly reinforced the (group’s) view that the withheld information should have been provided.” Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

A soft touch from Virginia helped keep Olympic horses at their peak MASSAGE, from page 1 “Usually you can see small things, what’s releasing and what’s not,” she said. “Is the body straight? Are they fluid in their shoulder movement? Are the glutes and back releasing? Are they holding their head low or high?” She also consults the rider with questions like: How is the horse going? Is he better in one direction than another? Vegher aims to give the horses complete range of motion, so they perform their best, recover faster and avoid injury.

Making a career change

Before completing the Wilson Meagher Sports Therapy massage program in 2016, Vegher was a creative director for companies such as Restoration Hardware, Athleta and Pottery Barn. But she said she didn’t feel fulfilled sitting in front of a computer all day. “The cool thing about this work is it’s almost instant gratification,” she said. “You can see the horse change visually or when the rider feels a difference. It’s satisfying.” In the late 1990s, Vegher moved to Virginia’s horse country from Petaluma, California, to pursue eventing. She met Olympian Nina Fout and became a groom for Fout’s Olympic horse, 3 Magic Beans. Vegher traveled with Fout and “Beanie” to the 2000 Sydney Olympics and other major events around the world. In Sydney, Vegher met equine sports massage therapist Jo-Ann Wilson, who was treating the team horses. She went on to study with Wilson, taking her course and then helping to teach it. “From my own injuries in the past, learning to adjust and get back to your own personal best interested me,” said Vegher, who completed the 2019 Mongol Derby, the world’s longest horse race, held on the Mongolian Steppe in central Asia, and the 2020 Gaucho Derby, a 10-day, 500-kilometer race across the Patagonian wilderness in South America. “Those journeys were pretty empowering,” she said. “I had to get really fit and push the limits of my own physical well-being and comfort. It reminded me that you can do a lot of things if you understand how the body works, which gives you the ability to function at your best.” In June, Vegher graduated from the Potomac Massage Training Institute for human massage. Working on smaller human muscles, she said, improves her feel on horses.

Feeling Olympic pressure

The Olympic equestrian events took place outside Paris, in Versailles, where U.S. eventers finished seventh of 16 teams, with Boyd Martin leading the way in 10th place individually. “The stress level is unlike any other, even more than the World Championships or Pan Ams,”

Vegher said. “You’re going over everything on the horse with a fine-tooth comb constantly.” Her charges show their appreciation by curling a lip, yawning, chewing, falling asleep or eating while she works on them. “Usually, they turn around and look right at you when they realize you’re tuned in to what is tight,” Vegher said. Like people, horses may yawn or take a deep breath during the bodywork. “Horses are brutally honest and will try to kick you or bite you or swish their tail if it’s an area they do not like,” Vegher said. “People typically

Judge shuts down Midland-area fill-dirt operation

Ruling comes after neighbors won $850K in a lawsuit that could not stop the dump trucks By Peter Cary

Contributing Writer

Neighbors who have been fighting Fauquier County farmer Mike Hawkins and his fill-dirt enterprise for five years finally got what they were hoping for on Thursday: a court injunction shutting the operation down. The order was signed by Fauquier County Circuit Court Judge James E. Plowman after a two-hour hearing during which Hawkins’ attorney sought a delay due to alleged procedural errors and at which the neighbors’ attorney, Sadiq Gill, pleaded with the judge to “give the neighbors back their lives.” “I’m looking forward to some peaceful days,” said Jennifer Rainwater after the order was signed. She and her husband, Steven, and another neighbor, Patricia Hupp, had been in court with Hawkins and his predecessor since 2018, trying to stop his operation on Brent Town Road that brought as many as 100 dump trucks full of fill-dirt past the Rainwaters’ house every day. That operation, it was said in court, has netted Hawkins at least $5 million from firms that pay him $50 to $100 a load to take excess dirt. Hawkins has said about half of the dirt originates from data center construction sites.

Jennifer Rainwater looks out at the more than 20-foot-tall dirt pile on her neighbor Mike Hawkins’ property. Steven Rainwater was not as sanguine as his wife. “He has too much money and can keep this in court,” he said. “And if he wins on appeal, all is lost.” “I intend to appeal,” Hawkins said immediately after the hearing. Still, an appeal, which would go to the Virginia Supreme Court, will not keep the injunction from being enforced, lawyers for the neighbors and Hawkins said. On Friday morning, Jennifer Rainwater said, some trucks arrived to dump dirt but were turned back either by Hawkins or Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies on the scene. In June, a jury decided against Hawkins in a civil lawsuit with his neighbors. On July 25, Plowman ordered Hawkins to pay them $850,000 in compensatory and punitive damages due

to noise and dust from the trucks and muddy water runoff from his dirt piles. Hawkins is appealing that decision, too. But since Plowman’s July 25 order, Hawkins’ dirt-taking activities had not stopped — and seemed to have gotten worse, according to four neighbors who testified Thursday. “The civil fine did not seem to abate the nuisance,” Plowman said, in ordering the injunction. He noted that after he shut down a road in July near the Rainwaters’ house that Hawkins was using for the trucks, Hawkins simply built a new road. The new road crossed the area on Hawkins’ property where he said he was making a sod farm. “This was never a sod farm and never intended to be a sod farm,” Plowman said, calling it “an industrial dump.” Hawkins had said for years he was

leveling the property for a sod farm. His argument was upheld by a Fauquier County Circuit Court judge in 2020, and Hawkins used that ruling for years to prevail in battles with the neighbors and county officials, who wrote two zoning amendments to try to stop him. The injunction hearing came after the neighbors asked Plowman to stop Hawkins from accepting fill dirt forever during the July hearing. The lawyers agreed to an Aug. 22 hearing date on that matter, but Hawkins’s lawyer James Kinsel on Thursday argued there were too many procedural errors to continue. Plowman overruled him, and the hearing went forward. Among the witnesses called by Gill, the neighbors’ lawyer, was Morgan Price, who lives in a house adjacent to the Rainwaters. She said when she and her husband built their house on their 4-acre lot, the location was idyllic. When Plowman shut down the road Hawkins was using for dump trucks on one side of the Rainwaters’ house, Hawkins built a new road on the other side, bringing the noise and dust right next to them, Price said. “I don’t know who would buy that property,” she said. “He’s ruined our home.” “This is literally destroying people’s lives.” said Gill, pleading for the injunction. “He’s reaping millions of dollars for this. It’s just not fair.” Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com

Previously a hidden gem, Weirddoughs Bagels and Brews debuts in Old Town Warrenton By Megan Rudacille Contributing Writer

Fauquier County residents who were “in the know” used to share the secret to finding a good bagel in Warrenton: Go to the Comfort Inn. Not the hotel exactly, but close by in a kitchen space off Route 29 where Weirddoughs Bagels and Brews was tucked away. But the secret is out. Weirddoughs moved to a new permanent location at 12 Culpeper St. in Old Town Warrenton this summer, committing to serving breakfast and morning beverages with a schmear of personality. Owner Danielle Grimes, a Florida native who now lives in Ashburn, made the unexpected decision to open a bagel shop after losing her government counterintelligence job during the pandemic. She’d been making bagels at home for years, inspired by her husband’s Long Island roots, and one of her two teenage sons encouraged Grimes to make a business of her baking. “My son says, ‘Why don’t you just start selling the bagels? Look how many people are in line for notso-great bagels; why don’t you do it?’” Grimes said. With a punny name Grimes said reflected her personality, Weirddoughs started off in a shared kitchen space in Chantilly before shortly relocating to the kitchen on Comfort Inn Drive, where the business began to build its following. Meanwhile, Grimes also sold her bagels at farmers markets in Haymarket and Warrenton.

Weirddoughs’ new permanent location is a historic building that most recently housed Serendipity Catering. The space, which was built as a bank in the 19th century, continues undergoing renovations to accommodate the restaurant, while retaining historic features such as the original brick and a vault open to the dining room. “I could not have asked for a more beautiful spot,” Grimes said. Grimes juggled working remotely in the intelligence field between tasks for Weirddoughs until her position was eliminated shortly after the opening of the Old Town location. Grimes joked that she now lives at the new store, even spending Mondays and Tuesdays — when Weirddoughs is closed — cleaning, taking deliveries and prepping for the week ahead. “It was like, ‘OK, I’m all in,’” Grimes said. “God had a plan. It was not my plan, but whatever.” Weirddoughs’ menu boasts a variety

of bagel flavors, cream cheese schmears and bagel sandwiches. The shop also serves a handful of drinks, including basic coffees, lattes and refreshers. “We’re still a bagel shop first, but I do want people to know us for good coffee,” Grimes said. Weirddoughs’ bagel sandwiches include classic combinations and specialty offerings named after regular customers and personal friends of the store. The Deputy’s Day Off — a chorizo, egg and pepper jack cheese sandwich with hot sauce — was inspired by a Fairfax County deputy’s order, and the Steve-O sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich is named in memory of a high school friend of Grimes’. Community connection at Weirddoughs extends beyond menu names. In between chatting with a delivery driver and checking in with customers at her shop, Grimes emphasized the importance of personal relationships in customer service. She

aims to learn regulars’ names, and honestly shares her personal journey on the shop’s social media channels. “What you see is what you get. I think we’ve gotten a huge customer following from that,” Grimes said. Weirddoughs has drawn fast-growing interest from customers in its new spot, according to Grimes. She attributes the reception to a combination of loyal customers from the previous location and many new visitors from Warrenton. “This town has been amazing; it truly has,” Grimes said. “I’ve been shocked how many people showed up.” Grimes has plenty of plans for the future of Weirddoughs, starting with expanding the shop’s hours into the early afternoon and incorporating the “grown-up grilled cheese” menu from its farmers market offerings during these new lunch hours.

At Trouvaille Brewing, fun is part of the recipe Former home brewers build a big following in Haymarket By Isabella Sherk

Contributing Writer

In the summer of 2022, five friends who got to know each other by sharing stories about the beers they were making at home began to chase a dream — launching a brewery. Trouvaille Brewing Company, located in an old elementary school building in Haymarket, is going strong two years later, having built a loyal community of beer lovers and others who enjoy coming together for their events and the brewery’s fun-loving atmosphere. “We all started as home brewers, and we all met in the same home brew club,” Cody Powell, co-owner and general manager of Trouvaille, said. “Every home brewer, the first

time they make a beer that they don’t pour down the drain, they’re going to open up a brewery one day.” Building a community at Trouvaille has been a priority. A huge draw of the brewery has been the events the team puts on each week. Music bingo, trivia and live music are some examples that are frequently on the schedule. Powell got acquainted with Taylor Swift songs during a themed music bingo night, and a recent Harry Potter trivia night was standing room only, he said. “We definitely like to look for those opportunities to encourage the most people to come out and enjoy what we’re putting on,” Powell said. Trouvaille makes all kinds of beers, but the team gravitates toward hazy IPAs, sours and stouts — what the co-owners love to drink, said Stephen Boyajian, co-owner and head brewer. They aren’t afraid to be experimental, either. During the Christmas

season, Boyajian said they created a brew inspired by the movie “Elf,” which included spaghetti, M&Ms, marshmallows and maple syrup — Buddy the Elf’s diet in the film. “A lot of people just really kind of enjoyed going on that journey with us,” he said. Trouvaille continues taking it one step at a time to grow and establish the business. A recent development for the brewery the owners are excited about is that it now has access through the state to self-distribute their beer and will begin doing so soon. Other aspirations down the line include a possible new location or expanding their existing spot. “Beyond that is to not only grow our system, our equipment, but also grow our size, whether that’s a second location or maybe taking over more footprint where we are now,” Boyajian said. For now, the team is focused on continuing to foster a fun envi-

ronment and brew good beer. Last month, the brewery won two awards from the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild’s Craft Beer Cup. But the joy of the business has most exceeded expectations for the founders is the community they have been able to build. “I didn’t realize how big of an impact we could have on a community,” Powell said. “Seeing our regulars at the bar, seeing their family, getting to know these people and really developing friendships and relationships with an entire community, it’s just been really cool.” Boyajian said his daughter has even become best friends with one of his regulars’ daughters. “Everybody talks about having regulars, but I can’t walk in there and not be recognized by half the people that are there, and they all know my name,” Boyajian said. “I know all their names.”

Honoring local Black history, a cup at a time The Culture Cup aims to share untold stories, foster community By Megan Rudacille Contributing Writer

As a coffee shop that combines signature flavors with a historical homage, The Culture Cup in Gainesville’s Madison Crescent aims to serve up untold stories of local Black communities with every order. Nikki Brown opened the Black history-themed cafe last September with community-building as a central focus of the business. “My main purpose and mission are to preserve, honor and celebrate African American history, art and culture,” Brown said. The Culture Cup is dedicated to “The Settlement,” a historically Black Gainesville community established along Carver Road after the Civil War. Brown worked with descendants of The Settlement, as well as the Coalition to Save Thoroughfare, advocates for a historically Black community in Haymarket, to preserve local Black history in her shop. The cafe’s dedication wall displays artifacts and photos from The Settlement. “It’s bringing attention to history that is right here in our backyards that we may not have even been aware of,” Brown said. As she hoped, The Culture Cup

Nikki Brown launched The Culture Cup in Gainesville last fall with a focus on highlighting local Black history and fostering community. has become more than just a coffee shop over its first nine months by adapting to community interests for a variety of events. The cafe has hosted book clubs featuring Black authors, mental health workshops and open mic nights dubbed “Soul Sessions.” An art gallery event and pottery workshop are in the works. “There are a lot of community members that are taking ownership of The Culture Cup, and I am okay with that,” Brown said. Brown’s interest in Northern Virginia’s Black history began when she was an outreach worker for Fairfax County’s health department. “I became obsessed with it: researching the history, collecting artifacts and articles,” she said. “I always thought, wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a space here in

Northern Virginia where you could come and learn about all of the local history here, as well as national African American history?” The Culture Cup started out selling coffee and sharing Black history at farmers markets, where it displayed local artifacts while selling drinks before opening its permanent location. Brown said coffee is a natural choice for her mission of encouraging cultural exchange. “It’s community; it brings people together,” Brown said. The Culture Cup offers a selection of coffees, teas, pastries and sandwiches. Its seasonal signature drinks use house-made syrups and pay homage to notable African American figures. This summer’s menu includes a honey-spiced “Beytae” latte inspired by Beyonce and a

smooth butterscotch latte named for Stevie Wonder. “It’s really important for me to name our signature drinks after different folks because every time someone orders that drink, we speak their name,” Brown said. “To me, it’s another way of keeping their legacy alive.” The Culture Cup boasts cozy yet classy decor, with plush armchairs, a golden chandelier and plenty of plants. A basket near the register contains “words of wisdom” from Black historical figures, and bookshelves house works from Black authors. Brown’s husband, Justin, also helps manage the shop, serving drinks or taking on other tasks. He is her biggest cheerleader, Brown said, and a sounding board for her ideas. “He’s right there with me, and he’s helping me to make it happen,” she said. “I guess what I’m trying to say is, he’s like my hands.” Nikki Brown described the support for The Culture Cup so far as overwhelming. “It’s beautiful to see people just coming together, and The Culture Cup building community, and it is taking on a life of its own,” she said. “I really don’t have to do much. The space has been created, and things just happen organically.” For more information about The Culture Cup, go to culturecupva.com or @theculturecupva on Instagram.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Can we skip Warrenton’s parking rules on Saturdays? I recommend there be consideration given to a more relaxed parking policy on Saturdays. Just as the town begins to come alive with people looking to have coffee, breakfast, pass through the farmers market, etc., there is our ever-present and somewhat overly diligent parking enforcement professional on top of situations that don’t need to be pursued. Some people are briefly double parked to drop off or pick up family or furniture, and a little grace would be appreciated. Enforcing a time limit on a Saturday seems a bit much, too, as it probably discourages people from outside of the town limits from visiting and patronizing our businesses. This isn’t personal — it’s business. Please consider giving the parking enforcement person Saturdays off. Thank you! MELVIN BEAN Warrenton

This election season, let’s treat our political opponents with respect We’re now well into the campaign season, and emotions are starting to run high. As in the past, we, the respective chairmen of the Fauquier County Republican and Democratic committees, encourage all voters — regardless of their party affiliation — to respect others’ rights to express open support for their preferred candidates — whether it be verbally, in writing or through signage placed on their property. While the expression of enthusiastic support for one’s party is something we expect and encourage, destructive behaviors directed against one’s political opponents, their supporters or their expressions of support are inappropriate. We may not agree about candidates or their respective policies, but we can and must treat each other with respect. After all, we are neighbors and will continue to live with each other long after this election is over. Stealing or defac-

ing candidate signs, vandalizing vehicles posting bumper stickers we don’t like and harassing people at public events are examples of behaviors that are unacceptable. They also invite retaliation. Additionally, placing signs in highway rights-of-way or on public property without permission is illegal. No signs should be displayed on public property except at polling places during voting, Both of us spent our formative years at West Point and in the Army, where we learned important lessons about leadership, interpersonal relationships, cooperation and competition. One of those lessons was that “respect is a two-way street.” You shouldn’t expect respect if you don’t show it to others. Respect doesn’t require liking others or endorsing their views, but it does ensure that civility prevails and may even stimulate productive debate and solutions. Respect extends to one’s private property as well.

At the local level here in Fauquier County, there are often issues where we can and should work together because we have a common interest in a shared outcome. In the past, Republicans and Democrats in Fauquier County have worked together on important local issues that resulted in outcomes beneficial to the county as a whole. We should not close off such opportunities by engaging in inappropriate or unlawful behavior. We jointly urge you to think of the “Golden Rule.” Treat others and their property with the respect you would want to be shown to you and your property. TIM HOFFMAN Warrenton Chairman of the Fauquier County Republican Committee MAX HALL Marshall Chairman of the Fauquier County Democratic Committee

This slide from my school’s “reunification drill” training hit me hard. “Must have two exits. One for parents leaving with children. One for parents leaving without children.” Let that sink in. Two exits. One with children. One without children. Lockdown drills are tough. Children hiding in the dark behind desks, in a bathroom or in a storage closet while teachers try to keep them calm and quiet. We speak reassuring words, “Don’t worry; we’ll keep you safe,” knowing this is a lie. Believing in my heart that I would sacrifice my life to save my students but knowing I cannot protect them from a heavily armed gunman intent on slaughter. Knowing that most deaths occur in the minutes before the police arrive. Lockdown drills cause anxiety for teachers as the “what ifs” run through our minds, but reunification drills are harder. In this drill, we train for what happens after the unthinkable happens. After there are little bodies sprawled on

classroom floors. After families are shattered, but before parents know their lives are about to change. As a “runner,” I’m supposed to greet the terrified parent and take them to one of two areas without revealing to them what I already know. Some will joyously reunite with their child, while others are about to get the worst news of their lives. Democrats and the majority of Americans want to pass sensible gun legislation (background checks, red flag laws, an assault weapons ban), which will protect our children while also preserving Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Republicans oppose any new gun laws, valuing NRA money and endorsements over our right to live free of gun violence. “Must have two exits. One for parents leaving with children. One for parents leaving without children.” Vote accordingly.

LIBERTY FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Go get’em, Gavin: New QB steps up to lead Eagles Liberty unveils multiple new starters Friday at Kettle Run

LIBERTY OFFENSE

QB: Gavin Cook, Jr. RB: Landon Hirmer, Sr.* WR: Caleb Owens, Sr.* WR: Chris Cox, Sr.* WR: Hunter Sawicki, Sr. TE: Eddie Rodman, Sr. LT: Nolan Hensley, Sr.* LG: Dylan Murphy, Sr. C: Kenny Benitez, Sr./Jake Simbulan, Jr./Deklan Hinnefeld, Soph. G/T: Braden Ahart, Jr. G/T: Mason Thompson, Soph.

By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer

As a former U.S. Navy pilot, second-year Liberty High football coach Kevin Odlum understands the importance of backup systems. So, when record-setting quarterback Austin Mawyer announced his transfer to St. Michael the Archangel in Fredericksburg last spring, Odlum didn’t panic, knowing Gavin Cook was waiting in the wings. “As a helicopter pilot in the military, we had backups to our backups. I didn’t have one hydraulic system, I had three. One goes down, then you can switch it,” Odlum said. The 5-foot-10 Cook flashed explosive speed and passing skills in several JV games last year. “He’s pretty dynamic, but he’s starting to combine that with an understanding of the game and an understanding of our offense,” the coach said. “He committed himself to the weight room and for a young man at his size, because he doesn’t weigh a lot, he’s very, very strong. His weight room numbers jumped exponentially from last year to this year,” he added. Liberty graduated 21 seniors from last season’s 5-6 squad that earned its first playoff berth since 2019. The Eagles fell to Salem 55-7 in the Class 4 Region D quarterfinals. Across the roster are new starters. On the offensive line, senior left tackle Nolan Hensley, who started the past two seasons at center, is joined by a mix of linemen with little to no varsity experience. Senior Dylan Murphy is likely to start at left guard with junior Braden Ahart and sophomore Mason Thompson making up the right side. Senior Kenny Benitez, junior Jake Simbulan and sophomore Deklan Hinnefeld will compete for the starting center position. Odlum was impressed with how the group handled themselves in their scrimmages against Class 5 James River and Massaponax despite their inexperience. “We’re very young up front, but they’ve been working well. They’ve seen some pretty good defensive fronts against James River and Massaponax, and they did really well,” Odlum said. The Eagles also have three new tight ends in seniors Eddie Rodman, Joey Sharp and Angel Reyes, the latter also serving as an H-back. Senior Landon Hirmer returns as the starting running back after coming on midway through last season.

After making the playoffs for the first time since 2019 last year, Landon Hirmer and the Liberty Eagles hope to keep the momentum rolling in Friday’s opener at Kettle Run. “We have some pieces in place that could be very special,” says coach Kevin Odlum. At 5-10, Hirmer has grown a few inches and added muscle. “(Hirmer) didn’t play his sophomore year because of injury, so he came in as a junior and we weren’t sure what was going to happen and he impressed us in a couple of games. He’s very shifty, has really good vision and does a really good job of weaving his way through traffic,” Odlum said. Rounding out the offense at wide receiver are seniors Caleb Owens, Chris Cox, Hunter Sawicki, Michael Cobb and junior Damian Gonzalez. Owens and Cox are the Eagles’ most experienced receivers and will start along with Sawicki, who has started in the past but missed most of last season with an injury.

New look defense

The Eagles will roll out a new 3-3 defensive scheme this season under defensive coordinator Jake Waldo with three defensive lineman, three linebackers and five defensive backs.

After graduating its entire defensive line from last season, Liberty switched from a four-man front to a three-man front out of necessity from a lack of depth. “I’m hoping that what we’ve put together can shore up some of the things that we struggled with in the past couple of years and provide us opportunities that we haven’t had. I’ve always been a believer in putting your best athletes on the field and letting them play, so if our best athletes right now are linebackers and DBs, then let’s let them play,” Odlum said. In the secondary, Cox and junior Alfonzo Ramos will start at cornerback with Owens and Gonzalez at safety and Hirmer as the “Hawk,” a linebacker/safety hybrid position. Senior Aden Peters, juniors Robert Forry, Tyson Schrum, Savion Smith and sophomore Miles Lamb will also see time in the secondary. At linebacker, seniors Rodman,

Nate Green and juniors Triston Henry, Chimanga Mubanga and Cody Reeseman will rotate in-and-out, as will Reyes, Benitez, Hensley, Thompson and sophomore Leland Hood on the edge. At defensive tackle, Murphy, Simbulan and Hinnifeld will all see action. “Those guys are probably the three strongest guys in the weight room,” Odlum said.

Special teams

Senior Aden Peters did all the kicking and punting for the Eagles last season and is now joined by senior Bryan Del Cid. The two will trade kicking and punting duties. Hirmer, Cox, Owens and Smith will handle the kickoff returns while one of the starting defensive backs will return punts.

Another playoff berth?

Odlum guided Liberty to its first playoff berth in four years in his debut season. “Last year was a good first year,” he said. “They got a taste for it. Now they know what to expect. Hopefully we can do well enough during the regular season to make it to the playoffs and take it a little bit farther this year. That’s the goal.” “We have some pieces in place that could be very special,” said Odlum. “My hope is that they come together and when that happens, I think we’ll see some fireworks on the football field.”

KETTLE RUN FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Potent Cougars should contend for region title Coming off 10-2 year, Kettle Run has talent at most positions By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer

Thanksgiving is still almost three months away, but Kettle Run High football coach Charlie Porterfield is eyeing it as an important milestone for the Cougars. The holiday coincides with the regional championship game each year, and the Cougars appear to be top contenders again. After winning the Class 4 Region C title and advancing to the state final in 2022, Kettle Run fell to Brentsville 28-7 in the Class 3 Region B semifinals last year, finishing 10-2 and one game short of playing for another region title. Kettle Run returns most of its starters, including all-state running back Colton Quaker and all-region quarterback Jake Mulhern and defensive tackles Jayden Booth and Justin Rogers. “We got knocked out early last year, so we want to try to avenge that and get it back on track and start playing for some of those big championships,” said Porterfield. “The goal every year is to try to make it to that Thanksgiving game, and this year is not going to be any different.” Quaker tallied nearly 1,400 yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground last year before injuring his knee in the regular season finale and missing both playoff games. Now Quaker is poised for a big senior year. “He’s feeling good and healthy and I’m excited to see what he can do. We know what he’s capable of,” Porterfield said. Senior Haydynn Bell, who rushed for five touchdowns against Skyline in last year’s playoff opener, and junior Jonathan Taylor have also looked strong, forming a three-headed monster at tailback. Senior Jake Mulhern is back under center after throwing for over 2,000 yards and 23 touchdowns in his debut season at quarterback. The 5-foot-9 signal caller has made big strides under new offensive coordinator Ty Lang. “His ability to run the offense, understand those little minute details of what we’re trying to do, help out his teammates and know what protections we’re going to be running, he’s done a great job of being that senior quarterback and leader,” Porterfield said. Kettle Run lost leading receiver Sam Rodgers, so Mulhern will now look towards 6-0 junior Zach Roth and speedy sophomore Braylon Jenkins at wide receiver. Roth and Jenkins started late last season after Rodgers went down with an injury, so they have chemistry with Mulhern. Senior Quinn Masi, the backup QB,

Senior Jacob Mulhern quarterbacks a powerful Kettle Run squad that has gone 24-3 the last two years. The Cougars are a strong bet to make a run at the Class 3 title. “We got knocked out early last year, so we want to try to avenge that,” said coach Charlie Porterfield. PHOTO BY COY FERRELL

WR: Colton Lubbe, Jr./Quinn Masi, Sr. TE: Carter Bernatzky, Sr. LT: D.J. Jordan, Jr. LG: P.J. Western, Sr.* and junior Colton Lubbe will both see time at receiver in the slot. Senior Carter Bernatzky and junior Noah Frye are the tight ends, and sophomore Pete Kuzma is the fullback. Kettle Run only returns one starting offensive lineman in senior left guard P.J. Western, but all the new starters saw some action last season. Junior D.J. Jordan will start at left tackle with junior Justin Rogers at center, junior Noah Richards at right guard and sophomore Jackson Spiece at right tackle. “Those guys are starting to gel. With a couple new pieces, it’s going to take a little bit of time, but they’re starting to come together,” Porterfield said.

A dominant defense

Kettle Run’s defensive line, which features all-region defensive tackles Booth and Rogers with Frye and Western on the edge, has been a four-man wrecking crew throughout the preseason. Spiece, senior Dane Popelka and freshman Keegan Bell, the younger brother of Haydynn, can also play on the line. “That group has been a problem all

preseason, in a good way,” said Porterfield. “It’s been an annoyance for my poor young linemen to try to block those guys (in practice), but ultimately I know my guys will get better having to block those guys every day.” At linebacker, Bernatzky has moved from safety and will start alongside Kuzma, with Haydynn Bell available too. In the secondary, senior Xavier Diaz is a returning starter and is joined by Roth, Jenkins, Masi and Lubbe at corner back. Freshman Dycen Tapscott, the younger brother of Kettle Run legend and current Virginia Tech wide receiver Jordan Tapscott, starts at free safety. Quaker is the strong safety, playing close to the line of scrimmage, and Taylor is the weak side safety, which Kettle Run calls the “Dog” and “Rover,” respectively. “They’re all on the same page clicking on all cylinders right now, so I feel really good about the defense as a whole,” Porterfield said.

Will Cougars’ roll continue?

For the second year in a row, Kettle Run hosts Liberty on Friday in the season opener. The Cougars beat the Eagles 41-20 last season and have won four in a row against their county rival. The Cougars end the season at home against Fauquier on Nov. 1, then at defending region champ Brentsville on Nov. 8. The Tigers beat Kettle Run twice last season but suffered steep graduation losses. Porterfield has his program clicking with a 38-6 four-year record since 2020. “I think our team as a whole is very comfortable with one another when it comes to communicating and making corrections. I think those player-led teams are the teams that have a chance to make runs,” Porterfield said.

How will the election affect the real estate market? If historic trends continue, it might mean a drop in interest rates.

Interest rates tend to tick down in election years By Jessica Saadeh

History shows that interest rates tend to drop a bit in election years.

Another election year is upon us. If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling your home, you may be wondering how the market could be affected, especially in the weeks leading up to and immediately following Election Day on Nov. 5. According to data from the National Association of Realtors ®, home sales are typically not much different during election years versus other years, aside from a slight dip in November. In nine out of the last 11 election years, home sales actually rose following November and into the next year. The only two years that didn’t follow the trend were 1981 and 1989. Mortgage interest rates are a big factor in the real estate market. Data from Freddie Mac show that for the last 11 election years, eight had reductions in mortgage rates between July and November. Of the eight years that rates went down, the highest interest rate reduction was by 1.25% in 1984. The next highest reduction was in 1996 (0.67%), and the third highest was in 2008 when rates were reduced by 0.55%. The 2020 election year saw a 0.27% decrease in rates. We are already seeing rates beginning to tick down this summer. If this year follows the trend, they

may go down a bit more by November. As a result, potential buyers who were priced out of the market a few months ago may be able to start looking again, increasing market demand. Election years do have some effects on the real estate market, but they are relatively minor. In a recent article in Newsweek, Jason Obradovich, chief investment officer at New American Funding, said, “Overall, the effects on the market are slow-moving and less prone to swings of emotion. It’s always best to look at the housing market through a long-term lens.” Home prices and sales can vary wildly from county to county, even from town to town in the same county. It’s important to seek advice from real estate professionals and get the most accurate information relevant to your area and situation.

Tradition remains as times change for 125-year-old Warrenton Horse Show Toyota Hunter Classic, Sunday ‘hunt night’ anchor historic competition By Betsy Burke Parker Contributing Writer

The Warrenton Horse Show will hold its 125th event Wednesday, Aug. 28 through Saturday, Aug. 31 at its historic show grounds on Shirley Avenue near Old Town Warrenton. Established in 1899, the Warrenton Horse Show Association is Virginia’s oldest corporation. The showgrounds have been home to everything from a private school to a country club and have hosted a wide range of top performers. Country Music Hall of Fame singer Patsy Cline credits a talent contest win at the show grounds in 1954 as her big break, and the 1950 U.S. equestrian trials for the Helsinki Olympics were held there. Classes run all day every day and well into the evening at the one-ring charity event. Classes start each day at 8 a.m. and on Thursday include a new Registered Irish Draught division, with classes in-hand and under saddle for purebreds and part-breds. Thursday evening features a trio of jumper classes, with a pair of $1,500 hunter derbies Friday night and the headline $5,000 Warrenton/Miller Toyota hunter classic Saturday evening. A special part of the classic is the unique “Points for Pets” challenge. When classic competitors earn a score of more than 75 from the judges, $5 per point will be donated to the Fauquier SPCA, one of the show’s beneficiaries. Sunday is “Hunt Night,” with classes limited to qualified foxhunters. Hunt night classes begin at 9:30 a.m., with the evening session usually running late into the night. The Warrenton show is listed as a Heritage Competition by the U.S. Equestrian Federation

for “ongoing historic impact.” The show runs on the prevailing virtues of community and camaraderie, said show co-president Hilary Scheer Gerhardt. “This is such a special community and that’s what has kept the Warrenton Horse Show strong for 125 years,” Gerhardt said. “This is what will keep us going for another 125. It is a treasured event and a real honor to be a part of it.” “Warrenton continually attracts the best of the best and still maintains the local flavor,” co-president Snowden Clarke said. “How lucky we are.” Longtime show manager Tommy Lee Jones remembered winning a show raffle more than six decades ago.

“My sister and I won this Shetland pony,” he said. “I remember my dad took the back seat out of the car to ship it home. The show still (runs by) the same ideals as the people who started it. We are carrying on the same traditions.” In addition to the SPCA, proceeds benefit the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company and other area charities. There is an ongoing silent auction open to the public. Find out more at www.warrentonhorseshow.com. Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

Thoughtful & Strategic Planning

PARTING WITH YOUR PARENTS’ BELONGINGS It can be painful and daunting to remove a deceased parent’s belongings from their home. Reminders of their life and presence are everywhere, and even throwing away unwanted items like medications can be challenging. Experts recommend forming a plan before starting by asking yourself some important questions: do I want help from others, are there items to set aside for others, and how much time am I willing or able to spend? Beginning with a smaller goal—like removing items you know you don’t like or want—can increase you muscle memory and motivation to tackle harder tasks. And by necessity you may have to start with something like their office and files in order to properly settle the estate. There is no shortage of places where your loved one’s possessions can help others. Locally there are places of worship, homeless shelters, thrift stores, community outreach centers, residential treatment programs, hospice, charities, and places for the homeless and victims of domestic violence that would welcome your donations. To learn more about the funeral services at MOSER FUNERAL HOME, please call (540) 347-3431. We are located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton. “Earthly possessions dazzle our eyes and delude us into thinking that they can provide security and freedom from anxiety. Yet all the time they are the very source of anxiety.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
