Debate begins over planned senior housing village for veterans Planning Commission hearing on Hero’s Bridge Village is Sept. 17 By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer

Should Warrenton make it easier for Hero’s Bridge to build 44 affordable housing units for military veterans? Or should zoning laws be interpreted strictly, which would block the project? And does a 2020 Virginia Supreme Court decision point the way to a simpler solution? Hero’s Bridge, a local nonprofit that serves veterans aged 65 and older, has asked for a zoning change to allow construction of the veterans’ housing project. The WarrenSTAFF PHOTO BY TATE HEWITT

John Foote, attorney for Hero’s Bridge Village, speaks to the Warrenton Planning Commission about zoning changes.

ton Planning Commission began discussing the request on Tuesday, Aug. 27. The proposal is a joint project of Warrenton United Methodist Church and Hero’s Bridge. They want to rezone an empty lot at Church Street and Moser Road so Hero’s Bridge can build 44 affordable housing units for veterans, arranged in 22 duplexes. The plan includes access to services and recreation for the military veterans who would live there, and Hero’s Bridge hopes to build a 19,000-square-foot community center that the church would also use. The land is now zoned residential; the change would make it a residential planned unit development, which would allow a higher population density than single-family zoning does. The work session is just one step in a long road for Hero’s Bridge Village. The proposal was presented to town zoning staff last See HERO’S BRIDGE, page 2

Fauquier County students showed improvement on their annual Standards of Learning test scores, but, like those across the state, test scores still lag behind pre-pandemic levels. Some Fauquier County students, especially those in third, seventh and eighth grades, also lag behind their peers in English. Overall, local students performed better on the state test in every subject during the 2023-24 school year than they did the previous year, with 72% of students passing English, 71% passing math and 70% passing science.

Heavy storms brought down tree limbs and left many in Warrenton without power from the evening of Thursday, Aug. 29 into Friday last week. A line of thunderstorms moving through the region brought hazardous weather to Fauquier County and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, leaving debris and damage — like the toppled spire and cross of Oak Dale Baptist Church in Nokesville (pictured) — in its wake. A tree outside Warrenton United Methodist Church was also reportedly struck by lightning — with “huge gashes all the way down both sides” to prove it.

Warrenton to host community conversation on housing, growth Nonprofit Strong Towns representative will speak at Highland School Sept. 9

ATTEND

What: “Escaping the Housing Trap”: A presentation by Edward Erfurt, Strong Towns director of community action, sponsored by the PATH Foundation and Oak View National Bank When: Monday, Sept. 9 at 6:30 p.m. Where: Rice Theater at Highland School, 597 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Free and open to the public.

By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer

Representatives from a nonprofit focused on suburban development will lead a conversation next week about housing and growth in Warrenton. Mayor Carter Nevill invited representatives of Strong Towns, which its website defines as a nonprofit media advocacy organization, to help guide a community conversation as the town updates its zoning laws and debates what type of development residents would want. The event, “Escaping the Housing Trap,” will feature Edward Erfurt, director of community action for Strong Towns; it’s billed as a conversation to help residents “understand the root causes of the housing crises and identify some rational responses that your city (and every city) can take.” “The goal is to bring the Strong Towns message to Warrenton as we begin our zoning ordinance update process so that we do not repeat the past mistakes,” said Mayor Nevill, who is concerned about the community’s lack of diversified housing and tax revenue. He hopes Erfurt’s talk will jump-start a stalled discussion about growth in Warrenton. “The word ‘growth’ is used as a weapon to shut down any and all discussion of development here in Warrenton,” Nevill said. Erfurt said he understands why communities like Warrenton are wary of the word “growth.” “I recognize when I go out and I talk to folks about growth, we have had eight decades of very unproductive growth,” he told the Fauquier Times. “We’ve had eight decades of growth that, when things were built, the end result was lesser than what was there before.” Erfurt said he believes growth can be a good thing when it is incremental and comes from the bottom-up to truly serve the needs of the local community.

Warrenton Town Council — and residents — have been debating what type of growth is needed and desired in the town, especially as some struggle with finding affordable housing, and the town worries about aging infrastructure and public utilities. “What I like to do is walk through to help identify and share the differences between the traditional development pattern that places like Warrenton were founded on, and how that is counter to our current development patterns,” Erfurt said. An example of that “traditional development pattern” could be found walking around Old Town Warrenton, where buildings were constructed one-by-one, as the town needed them. Erfurt will compare that Old Town style of development with the construction of suburban, single-family homes that has dominated the American landscape since World War II. Because these modern developments are spread out, the delivery of utilities and town services to them can end up costing more than the tax revenue they generate. They can also lead to car dependence, which changes the economies

and impacts the safety of small towns, he said. “I think we can all agree that things aren’t right on all different levels,” Erfurt said about recent development trends. “We believe that we can share a different approach.” The conversation comes as Warrenton — and Fauquier County as a whole — debate how to provide affordable housing while managing growth. Last spring, Nevill called on county officials to work with the town on increasing housing and tackling infrastructure issues that more growth could bring to the town and county. Strong Towns, which asserts that the suburban development model has hollowed out local communities throughout North America, advocates for five priorities: ending highway expansion, transparent local accounting, incremental housing, safe and productive streets and ending parking mandates and subsidies, according to its website. The event, sponsored by the PATH Foundation and Oak View National Bank, is Monday, Sept. 9 at 6:30 p.m. in the Rice Theater at Highland School, 597 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. It is free and open to the public. For more information about Strong Towns: www.strongtowns.org.

Thomas Spencer Stark, 63, of Nokesville was rushed to a local hospital, where he died of injuries suffered when a Toyota Tundra, headed east on Bristow Road, crossed the center line and slammed into Stark’s Lexus GX just before 6:30 p.m. The impact spun the Lexus off the road and into a ditch. The Tundra driver, identified by police as a 61-year-old man from Woodbridge, was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries. His name was not disclosed. Police said speed was not a factor in the collision, but they’re continuing to investigate what caused the crash, according to Joshua Spiller, a public information officer.

December, which offered comments and feedback, starting a back-andforth with the zoning staff that can be repeated as many times as necessary. On Sept. 17, the proposal will go before the Warrenton Planning Commission for a public hearing. After that, the commission can make a recommendation to the Warrenton Town Council, which would conduct its own review and hold another public hearing before voting on the plan. If the rezoning request is approved, the project might also need at least three other waivers — though John Foote, an attorney for the project, argued to the planning commission the project doesn’t actually need zoning waivers, thanks to a Virginia Supreme Court decision pertaining to another Warrenton project. In the case, Rowland v. Town Council of Warrenton, the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of a rezoning dispute on Eva Walker Drive that the town approved despite it not strictly fitting the terms of its new zoning. Town attorney Martin Crim said the decision in that case relies on whether the project is “beneficial to the community.” Depending on

Foote said that’s possible, but Crim, the town attorney, was concerned that limiting residents on the basis of military service could violate the Virginia Fair Housing Act. There was also disagreement on estimated water and sewer use. Foote says the town’s metrics, based on multifamily units, overestimates the

Remington’s community garden keeps growing

A long-shot idea has taken root over the past decade

Board member John Waldeck and his son Wes Waldeck with the sign for the Remington Community Garden that Wes installed.

By Aimee O’Grady Contributing Writer

When John Waldeck applied for one of three PATH Foundation “Make It Happen” grants to begin a community garden in Remington in 2014, he didn’t have much hope of actually making it happen. There was no community garden management board at the time, but he had recently become certified as a “master gardener,” and he had a vision. He was shocked when PATH actually awarded Remington the grant. “There were hundreds of deserving nonprofits applying for these funds,” he said. “I asked why it was given it us and was told that PATH thought it would make a difference in Remington.” That answer became something of a mantra for the volunteers behind the new Remington Community Garden board. “During each January board meeting, we ask how we are going to improve Remington to remind us of what we are doing here,” Waldeck said. The community garden, located on West Bowen Street, measures 1.5 acres and has 35 garden plots available for residents. There is also a pavilion, stage and a few storage sheds on the property. Rates for the garden plots vary because there is no set fee. “We ask people to pay what they can,” Waldeck said. “Some pay $5, others $200.” Mary Beth Waldeck, John Waldeck’s wife, is also on the community garden board. She said the variable fees are important because many people in Remington are living on the edge. “We live in a food desert,” she said. “There are no grocers in Remington. Anyone experiencing food insecurity must travel to Warrenton to access food pantries. And sometimes they won’t qualify.” The adjacent churches have lent considerable support to the garden project. “The garden property is owned by the Methodist Church, but St. Luke’s (an Episcopal church) lets us access their water since it is logistically easier to access,” Mary Beth Waldeck said. Remington Baptist Church and The Journey Church also support the garden by holding food drives for the pantries throughout the year. Church members volunteer their time to keep the pantry stocked and to prepare meals for the Little Fridge. During the pandemic, additions were made to the community garden to assist residents experiencing food security. “With the number of food-insecure residents in the community, I asked Ray and Mary Root with the Remington Partnership if we could remove the books in the Little Free Library and replace them with nonperishables,” Mary Beth Waldeck

She turned to Facebook, and, in a matter of five hours, she had $600. “We had a pantry built and enough left over to stock it,” she said. “The books were then all returned to the little library.” The pantry is stocked 365 days a year. It’s managed by a team of eight volunteers — seven take the helm one day a week to manage the pantry and the eighth covers vacations. Additional pantry items are kept at the United Methodist Church. Donations can be placed in the pantry or left on the church porch. When the warmer months arrived during the pandemic, the community garden introduced the Little Veggie Wagon. “We had extra garden plots that weren’t being used,” said Mary Beth Waldeck. “The master gardeners used those plots to grow vegetables that were given away in a small wagon.” In 2022, the garden gave away 1,000 pounds of fresh produce. In 2023, after adding irrigation and fabric covering to the plots, it gave away 2,000 pounds of produce. When the wagon deteriorated, it was replaced

with The Little Veggie Steps, which are stocked every day with fresh produce, grown on-site. In 2023, with more support from PATH, the community garden added an outdoor refrigerator. “It took a little while for this one to take off,” said Mary Beth Waldeck. “But now the Little Free Fridge is stocked with milk, eggs, bread, meals and other items.” She said no one is asked why they are taking food from the pantry, fridge or steps. “But Mary Beth did ask an older lady once how often she came by,” John Waldeck said. “She said that at the end of each month, she can choose between affording her medicine or groceries. Thanks to the pantry, fridge and veggie steps, now she can do both.” The Remington Community Garden will celebrate its 10th anniversary celebration with a fundraiser on Sept. 7. The community garden is located at 160 W. Bowen St., Remington. For more information, visit www.remingtoncommunitygarden.org. Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

Opal’s Picturesque Farm dominates at Warrenton Horse Show Warrenton’s Michael Miller wins local hunters championship By Betsy Burke Parker Contributing Writer

Local trainer Kristy Willwerth made history with riders out of her Picturesque Farm near Opal, winning first through fifth in the $1,500 Hunter Derby, turning in what has to be called a “royal flush” at the 125th annual Warrenton Horse Show. The two-round class was one of several headline events at the show, which ran through Sunday, Sept. 1 at the historic Warrenton Horse Show grounds near Old Town. Addison Laskow won top honors with her Capri Soleil. Locklyn Willwerth was second on Woodlands Lashley, Sarah Wiles third on Paladin, Shelby Kaye fourth on Tinsel Town and Siena Brown fifth on Nosara. “It’s a real banner (accomplishment) for Addison since this was her first derby win,” Willwerth said. The hometown crowd and electric one-ring show atmosphere was part of the allure for her team, she said. “Everybody in the barn is always so excited to compete at Warrenton,” Willwerth said. In other action at the Virginia Hunter Championship event, Bealeton-based pro Patrick Miller piloted Sarah Miller’s Redwood to win the Toyota Hunter Classic. Missy Luczak Smith of Upperville was second on FVF Just Watch. Smith was high-point amateur, winning the prestigious Wendy Berol Gifford trophy.

A heavy thunderstorm at show time Saturday rained out the classic, so the show committee had to improvise to squeeze it in on Sunday morning. “You know, I think the ‘hunt and go’ format they pulled in actually favored the forward, handy pace we’re looking for,” said Williamson, who trained for decades out of Middleburg and Calverton. Instead of the 20 classic competitors completing the first scored round and then returning for the second round, each horse and rider pair jumped their first round, paused briefly and continued a shortened “handy” round in hunt and go. “It meant the winner could show his (versatility),” Williamson said. “He was smooth (in the first round,) and really clocked around in the

Fauquier County students show improvements on annual state tests TESTING, from page 1 Fauquier students also outperformed the state average in writing, with 79% of students passing. Yearly tests in subjects — reading, math, history, writing and science — are administered at various points in grades three through eight and during high school. The state tracks the percentage of students who score high proficient/advanced and low proficient in addition to the percentage of those who fail each test or subject. School leaders and state officials also use the tests to determine school accreditation, gauge teachers’ effectiveness and determine if students are on track. Like many students around the state, Fauquier County kids are still performing worse in most areas than before the COVID-19 pandemic. “These results show that Virginia students are beginning to recover from the post-pandemic learning loss they suffered after 2020 and 2021,” Lisa Coons, superintendent of public instruction, said when scores were released last month. “But the results also show that we must continue to focus every day on helping them catch up to pre-pandemic levels and move ahead.” During the 2023-24 school year, 75% of the state’s 129 school divisions showed improvement in grades 3 to 8 math scores and 70% showed improvements in reading scores.

Virginia’s Standards of Learning, or SOL, assessments are yearly tests in subjects — reading, math, history, writing and science — administered at various points in grades three through eight and during high school. Overall statewide, 72.9% of students passed reading, up from 72.5% the year before, and 70.9% passed math — up from 69.1% — but those scores are still down from 2018-19, when 77% of all Virginia students passed the reading test, and 82% passed math. Gaps also remain stark among some students. Only 59% of Hispanic students statewide and

in Fauquier County passed their English tests, compared to 82% of white students statewide and 79% in Fauquier County. Only 57% of Black students in Fauquier in Fauquier County passed English, compared to 60% overall statewide. Fauquier County students with disabilities, who experienced some of the largest dips post-pandemic, also saw improvements in English but still lag behind the state. Fewer English language learners — who make up about 11.3% percent of Fauquier County students — passed English compared to 33% statewide. Fauquier County’s English language learners performed better in math, with 38% passing, but still lag behind the state’s 42% passing rate. Overall, all 18 of Fauquier County’s public schools — except Southeastern Alternative — are accredited, though Taylor Middle remains accredited “with conditions” due to achievement gaps between student groups.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

In appreciation of Jack Flikeid On behalf of the board of directors and staff of Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, I would like to express our sadness upon learning of the passing of Jack Flikeid, our former executive director. After successful careers in the military and in government, Jack joined Habitat in 1999 and served until 2009. During his tenure, the organization experienced significant growth, gained strong community support and brought sharp focus to the concept that “everyone deserves a decent place to live.” Jack was instrumental in the construction of over 30 homes and the repair of countless others during his career with Habitat. These includ-

ed eight homes in Botha and seven duplexes at Sterling Court. He was an advocate and ambassador for the organization, often appearing before church and community groups to educate them on Habitat’s mission. He was recognized in the community for his strong faith and commitment to serving others. We were certainly blessed to have Jack as a leader, and we want to express our deep appreciation for everything he accomplished and our deepest condolences to his family. MELANIE BURCH President and CEO Fauquier Habitat for Humanity Warrenton

Gratitude for Warrenton Town Council member Eric Gagnon Like 300 other Warrenton homes and businesses along Route 29, we were without power for 24 hours last week and were prepared for a refrigerator of spoiled food. We told Ward 5 Councilman Eric Gagnon our plight, and he rushed over with enormously heavy batteries that kept our refrigerator running for a few hours. He then

took his batteries to run the refrigerator of our next-door neighbor. When we called Councilman Gagnon, we expected sympathy. What we got was action, the kind that defines who Eric Gagnon is as a councilman and a neighbor. PENNY E. PERRY Warrenton

Question candidates on Social Security funding Voters in Fauquier County should demand answers from their political candidates regarding how they will address the Social Security funding crisis that draws nearer each day. Barron’s Magazine, a reputable source of sober opinion on business and finance, wrote in February 2024 that, unless Congress acts, Social Security benefits will be cut by 20% after 2034. Ironically, Republican proposals make the funding problem worse, whereas Democrat proposals provide funding help. Eliminating taxes on Social Security income, without offsetting changes, as proposed by candidate Trump and some House Republicans, would weaken the program’s finances by reducing federal revenue by between $1.6 trillion and $1.8 trillion over the next decade and accelerate the Social Security trust fund’s insolvency.

In contrast, Democratic proposals seek to strengthen Social Security funding by applying the payroll tax — which funds Social Security — to incomes over $167,500; at present, income above that amount is exempt from the payroll tax. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that such action would boost Social Security by more than $1 trillion over a 10-year period, a significant step to restore long-term solvency. Removing the taxable maximum would also help adjust for increasing income inequality and promote tax fairness — higher-income individuals generally have longer life expectancies, and thus receive larger Social Security benefit checks for a greater amount of time. If you want to protect your Social Security, pay close attention to what the different politicians are proposing! NIGEL OGILVIE The Plains

A pair of local teachers will get married at First Friday this week Giveaway winners will say vows at the courthouse in Warrenton By Alissa Jones

Contributing Writer

At Warrenton’s monthly First Friday series in August, the back-to-school theme was teacher appreciation, and vendors offered loads of giveaways for educators, but two Fauquier County teachers walked away with the biggest prize of all: a free wedding. First Friday organizers from Allegro Community School of the Arts came up with the wedding giveaway as a way to promote the September event’s fall theme. They partnered up with Ciao Bella Celebrations, which specializes in intimate Old Town weddings, and several other vendors to create the giveaway package. So, when Fauquier County natives Joe Rummel and Ashleigh Queen wandered toward the stage for the winner announcement on Aug. 2, they were shocked and thrilled to hear their own names. “I never wanted a big wedding,” Queen said. “I wanted a small, local wedding with family and what we’ve been given is a dream come true.” She’s getting that dream wedding this weekend — with a twist. On Friday, Sept. 6, during First Friday, the couple will take their vows in a private ceremony surrounded by family at Ciao Bella. Then at 6 p.m., they will make their vows public at the courthouse. Local merchants have come together to make this a memorable and expense-free experience for the couple. Among the perks they will enjoy: • Queen’s hair and makeup will be done by Salon Emage Day Spa • Village Flowers will provide flowers • Haute Cakes Pastry Shop will make the cake • Ethan Film & Video will take pictures

Joe Rummel and Ashleigh Queen, winners of a free wedding from Warrenton’s First Friday event in August, will have a private wedding first on Friday and then recite their vows and have their first dance at this week’s First Friday. • Camelot Classic Cars will chauffeur the couple through town in a 1961 Cadillac, bringing them to Fifth Street for the first dance and cake cutting • Airlie is gifting them their honeymoon night stay • Red Truck Bakery will provide breakfast the following morning • The couple will also receive a package with gifts and gift cards from other local merchants, including Carter & Spence, Great Harvest Bread Co., the Wellness Kitchen, Earth Glaze

& Fire, DejaVu Anew, Warrenton Jewelers, the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility, Visit Fauquier County and Pearmund Cellars Rummel and Queen met in middle school and remained friends into adulthood. Rummel always wanted to be a teacher, and after graduating Radford University, he found a job back in Fauquier County teaching English and journalism at Midland’s Southeastern Alternative School in 2013. “We present a different way of teaching here,” he said. “We get to see the kids overcome obstacles and grow up. I believe we are Fauquier’s bestkept secret.” Queen, who had a degree in biology, told Rummel she also thought she might want to be a teacher. His advice, she said, was “If you want to teach, do it. You’ll be happier doing what you like.” He encouraged her to apply at Southeastern, and she started substitute teaching with Rummel as her mentor in 2019. The next school year, she began teaching middle school math and science. The pair later began dating and were engaged in November 2023. It was Queen who learned about the local contest for a wedding giveaway, called “Fall in Love in Fauquier,” and entered. It sounded exactly like the kind of wedding they had hoped for. The couple still can’t believe their good fortune. “I’m not often speechless,” Rummel said, “but we are very lucky to have all of this to look back on years from now. While we don’t feel we deserve it, we are overwhelmed, excited and appreciative of everyone who has made this happen.” Join the pair at this week’s First Friday in Old Town Warrenton on Sept. 6.

Family connection fuels woodworking business Former law enforcement officer Joe Spina now all in on MJS Woodworking By Aimée O’Grady Contributing Writer

Joe Spina knew he’d need something to occupy his time once he retired after 30 years in law enforcement, so he set his sights on returning to one of his favorite things to do growing up: woodworking alongside his dad. He formalized a business, MJS Woodworking, in Remington in 2017, and began working toward making the father-son operation his primary focus when he hung up the badge, but it didn’t work out like he hoped. He retired this year from a career that started as cop in Warrenton and ended doing the same at Dulles Airport, but his father, Michael Spina, had passed away 18 months earlier. He went ahead with the plan anyway. “I’m proud to continue this business in memory of my father,” Spina said. These days, Spina and MJS Woodworking are gaining a reputation for handcrafted cutting boards made of walnut, cherry and maple to get a distinct color variation. Spina’s products can be found at the Remington Fall Festival, the Kris Kringle Market at the Remington Community Garden and at events for the Remington Lions Club and Grace Miller Elementary School. Michael Spina taught him how

to do small woodworking projects with hand tools, and when Joe was old enough, they moved on to power tools. “It was a whole new world when I got my hands on power tools as a teen,” he said. As he got the business going, Spina took classes, including barrel-making, to expand his services. Classes he took at The Woodwright’s School in North Carolina were taught using all hand-tool woodworking methods. Spina is best known for his cutting boards. He sources his wood from a lumberyard in Culpeper but will also collect felled trees. These pieces are either sent to a miller, or he pulls out his chainsaw to cut them into smaller pieces, uses his shop planer for smoothing and leveling and stacks them for seasoning. Lumberyard wood is kiln-dried, which can be costly and requires equipment that begins at around $50,000. The old-fashioned way is to stack wood with spacers and weights and then wait weeks or months, periodically checking for moisture content. “The moisture content has to be just right,” Spina said. “Too much or too little will cause wood to warp, shrink, cause joints not to fit tight, expand or contract as humidity moisture in the air changes.” ®

Spina has had some wood stacked and drying for two years. He said he loves woodworking for the challenge of taking a piece and turning it into something he has a vision for. He finds it relaxing, albeit dangerous. He’s had his share of splinters and nicks and most recently took off the tip of one finger. “You do woodworking long enough and something is bound to happen,” he said. Spina comes from a family of first responders. His father and two uncles were all police officers in New Jersey, where Spina grew up. Law enforcement and trades like woodworking run in the family. “My father and uncles each taught

the children and cousins the trades,” he said. “None of them wanted us to pursue law enforcement. My father was our woodworking instructor.” Spina, who has lived in Remington for three decades, still wakes at 3:45 a.m., just like he did when he was on the beat. He’d prefer not to, but early rising gives him plenty of time to sharpen his craft. Given a choice, “I’d like my body to sleep in until at least 7,” he said.

‘I’m back’

Fauquier Times | September 4, 2024

Quaker’s dynamic return leads Kettle Run past Liberty, 39-7, in opener By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer

Kettle Run High senior running back Colton Quaker had a message for his teammates, coaches, fans and anyone else within shouting range in the Cougars’ 39-7 season opening victory over Liberty on Friday. After scoring his second touchdown of the night, Quaker ran over to the Cougars’ sideline and yelled “I’m back” for everyone in the stadium to hear. It was an emotional night for Quaker, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the regular season finale last year. One of the bedrocks of the program for four years, the senior emphatically announced his return with 101 rushing yards and three TDs on 16 carries. “It feels awesome just being out there, being able to do what I love most,” Quaker said. “I love being back with the big fellas. It’s so fun being back and being able to play with them all night, all season. Nothing beats it, so it’s just great to be back.” “Once he knocked the rust off, he looked like he looked at the end of the last two years. He didn’t miss a beat, he made some pretty impressive runs and cuts,” said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield. Quaker limped off the field after his first carry of the game, putting a brief scare in the Cougars, but he was soon back running like his old self. “I think he needed to see that kind of, ‘I slipped weird. That hurt a little bit. Alright, I’m okay,’” Porterfield said. In a sloppy game played on a slick field with frequent turnovers and penalties, Kettle Run was the beneficiary of several short fields, resulting in quick strikes. Five of its six touchdowns came on drives of less than 50 yards. Kettle Run led 7-0 after the first quarter, 20-7 at halftime and 32-7 at the end of the third. The Cougars struggled to move the ball through the air as quarterback Jake Mulhern finished 6-of14 for 61 yards with one TD and one interception, but the run game behind a young and inexperienced offensive line thrived as Quaker, senior Haydynn Bell and junior Jonathan Taylor combined for 212 yards and five TDs. “They played a little more man (coverage) than we thought we were going to get,” said Porterfield. “Liberty had a good plan. They really took away our pass game and kept us one-dimensional, but I thought the run game looked good with all three of those guys carrying the load.” Quaker said the blocking was solid: “I maybe had to make one move and then I was out. The big boys up front were just moving everyone.” As for the Eagles, coach Kevin Odlum called Friday’s game a learning experience for his squad that features few returning starters. “We’re very young and we’re learning, pretty much at every position. I think that there were things that we could have done better. We had some opportunities that we just didn’t capitalize on. But there were some things that we did well,” Odlum said. In Gavin Cook’s first game as the Eagles’ new starting QB, the junior flashed his potential, completing tough passes with defenders in his face

and breaking several sacks and tackles, but also made key mistakes. He finished 12-of-24 for 150 yards with one TD and three interceptions. “He had a good night in some respects, and then probably a not so good one in others,” Odlum said. “We had some issues up front that we need to deal with as well.” “He’s shifty, man. That kid is talented. He’s going to be a problem,” Porterfield said of Cook. Kettle Run senior defensive tackle Jayden Booth agreed. “He was definitely shifty, so you need to be careful once you go to tackle him, but once you get him contained and in the pocket, you could get him.” In dominating the line of scrimmage, the Cougars’ defense forced five turnovers, tallied five sacks and allowed just 131 yards of total offense.

“Coach (Delmar) Christian, our defense coordinator, preaches alignment and assignment, so if we just step up and trust the guys around us to do their job and make their plays, our defense works out like it did tonight,” said Quaker, who also plays safety. Booth believes the sky is the limit for the Cougars’ defense, which allowed less than 16 points per game last season. “I think we might be better than last year, honestly. We’ve progressed a lot in the weight room and on the field.” At 1-0, Kettle Run has its bye next week before hosting Handley (1-0) on Sept. 13, while Liberty (0-1) gears up for the Bird Bowl on Friday. “We need to take a look at all those penalties… offensively, we’ve got to figure that out,” said Odlum.

FAUQUIER FOOTBALL PREVIEW

The ‘Downs Era’ begins for Falcon football 31-year-old coach stresses values as he rebrands downtrodden program By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer

Every Monday throughout the fall, the Fauquier High football team must arrive at school wearing business casual attire. The dress code, implemented by new coach Donnie Downs, is a part of BAM Mondays, which Downs has designed to prepare the Falcons for becoming mature adults. Since taking over in early March, Downs’ priority has been establishing a culture. There has been an emphasis on “Becoming A Man,” or “BAM.” “That’s the core value of our program,” Downs said. “Before we ever get out to practice (on Mondays), right after school we meet in the Falcon Room and we talk about some sort of character lesson or skill that we could focus on and learn. And it doesn’t really have anything to do with football.” “It was fun to see them all dress up and embrace it,” he said. With FHS coming off a 2-8 season and 0-10 in 2022, Downs is facing an uphill battle since replacing Karl Buckwalter, who was 10-38 from 2019 to 2023. The Falcons have embraced everything Downs has implemented since coming over from Eastern View, where he was the Cyclones’ defensive coordinator. “The buy-in from the players has been pretty good,” the coach said. “It takes relationships. You got to build a relationship and then communicate. If you’re going to say something’s going to be a certain way, it’s got to be that way. And sitting down in the spring with some of these guys, I started to earn a little bit of their trust. I said things were going to be a certain way, and they’ve been that way.” Downs’ ability to resonate with his players led to a strong offseason. Turnout in the weight room was high, and so were their joint workouts with Kettle Run, Eastern View and Lightridge. The Falcons tried several different players at quarterback last season, all of whom returned, setting up an open competition throughout the summer and preseason. Junior Amari Martin beat out senior Ben Noland for the starting job. Mainly used as a runner, Martin saw limited action under center last year but has impressed under new offensive coordinator Gary DeFriest. “He’s started to be able to read quickly. He makes a pre-snap read and post-snap, he’s able to see it and get rid of the ball quickly,” Downs said. At running back, senior Aaron Lewis returns as the starter and is joined in the backfield by senior Tyrese Nwankwo. Junior Thomas Sanford will also see some carries on top of time at slot receiver. Downs believes wide receiver is one of Fauquier’s deepest positions

Seniors Bo Green and Howard Burnett are the tight ends and senior Joe Jacques and junior Sal Sorrentino are the H-backs. Green saw some action at QB last season and has bulked up in moving to tight end. “He’s naturally one of our strongest kids that we have on the team. We don’t have a ton that are built and look like him,” Downs said. On the offensive line, senior Connor Hunt and either junior Desmond Brown or sophomore Robert Weaver will start at tackle with junior Aiden Hartman and sophomore Bradley Moore at guard and senior Clayton Harris at center. Downs hopes to see the Falcons be more dynamic on offense with the ability to score from anywhere on the field with a more respectable

I think we’ve shown that in our scrimmages where we’ve had a couple of big plays and scored touchdowns from all over the field,” Downs said.

An unpredictable defense

Fauquier will run a 4-2-5 defense with the goal of confusing opposing quarterbacks with its coverages. “I don’t have to necessarily beat the coach on the other sideline. If I can confuse a 16-, 17- or 18-year-old athlete, then we have a chance to win if we can disguise some things, confuse that athlete and make them guess. “I like to not show what coverage we’re in early. I try to disguise it and get to it late and see if they can decipher that post-snap. We’ll also have some movement up front and we’re going to, at times, blitz and try to get after some teams,” Downs said. On the defensive line, Harris and

All four of those guys have shown that they can do it,” said Downs. In the secondary, Sanford, Clarke and Lewis will play cornerback while Nwankwo, Mayfield and Bynaker are the safeties. Seniors Burnett, Brady Anderson and Gabe Rogers can also play in the secondary.

Building for the long haul

Fauquier’s last playoff appearance was in 2014 and last playoff win in 2002. “I want to establish our culture, that we’re going to be a tough team to play. I think we’ve got a schedule where we’ve got plenty of games that are winnable,” Downs said.

Homesteading traditionally consists of growing your own food, raising livestock and reducing reliance on external resources.

Home buyers show growing interest in living sustainably By Tyler Ross Tyler Ross R eal Estate

In recent years, the concept of homesteading has experienced a remarkable resurgence, capturing the imagination of a diverse array of individuals and families. What was once considered a niche lifestyle, centered on self-sufficiency and rural living, homesteading has evolved into a mainstream movement. This growing interest in homesteading is reshaping the real estate market, with buyers increasingly seeking properties that allow them to live sustainably, grow their own food and embrace a simpler, more fulfilling “closer to the earth” way of life. For many, the fast-paced, technology-driven modern world has created a longing for a slower, more intentional lifestyle. Homesteading offers the opportunity to cultivate this way of life by growing your own

food, raising livestock and reducing reliance on external resources. The global events of the past few years have further fueled this desire for independence. The COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and rising costs of living have made people more aware of the fragility of modern conveniences. As a result, homesteading has become an attractive option for those who wish to control more of their own food supply, reduce their environmental footprint and create a more resilient household. As the homesteading movement gains momentum, its influence on the real estate market has become increasingly evident. Real estate agents and property developers are witnessing a shift in buyer preferences, with more clients expressing interest in properties that offer the potential for homesteading. That includes larger plots of land, homes

with existing gardens or orchards and properties that can accommodate livestock or farming equipment. In rural and semirural areas, where land is more abundant, properties that support homesteading activities are becoming particularly desirable. However, the trend is not limited to those regions. Even in suburban and urban areas, buyers are seeking out homes with enough outdoor space to start a garden or raise chickens. The demand for properties with access to natural resources, such as water sources and fertile soil, is also on the rise. To meet this growing demand, real estate agents are adapting their approach. Many are expanding their knowledge of sustainable living practices and becoming familiar with the needs of homesteaders. In property listings, they are highlighting features such as existing gardens, rainwater collection systems and energy-efficient homes, recognizing that these elements can be key selling points. Additionally, real estate professionals are beginning to market properties with the potential for homesteading to a wider audience. What was once a lifestyle pursued mainly by people in rural areas is now appealing to people from all walks of life, including young families, retirees and even urban professionals looking for a change of pace. As the interest in homesteading grows, its influence on real estate is likely to become even more pronounced. The demand for properties that support sustainable living practices is expected to increase, leading to a shift in how homes are designed, marketed and valued. For buyers, this trend offers the

chance not only to find a home, but also to embrace a lifestyle that aligns with their values and desires for self-sufficiency. For real estate professionals, it presents an opportunity to tap into a dynamic and expanding market, catering to the needs of those who see their home as more than just a place to live — it can be a foundation for a fulfilling, sustainable life. In this evolving landscape, the growing interest in homesteading is not just a trend — it’s a movement that is reshaping the way people think about homeownership and the future of living. I’m no exception. In addition to all the values discussed, elements of homesteading, such as gardening, offer great opportunities for family projects and quality time outside. Only last week did I till my first garden patch, with the help of my two kids. I look forward to the satisfaction and benefits of growing and eating our own, clean, organic food. Now, if only my covenants allowed chickens! This October, the Homesteaders of America Conference will be held in Front Royal at the Warren County Fairgrounds.

FAUQUIER FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW

High-flying Falcons eye third straight trip to states By Peter Brewington Sports Editor

The last two Fauquier High field hockey teams have made the state tournament. In a few months, expect the Falcons to make states again. Coach Brooke Settle has her program cooking with gas. With six seniors and tons of talent on the 17-player roster, Fauquier is targeting continued greatness. The Falcons finished 14-8 last year, taking second in Class 3 Region B to Meridian, and reaching the Class 3 state

Senior forward McKenna Locke and the Falcons are 2-1.

quarterfinals. “We had a great year. The girls want to get back to the state tournament. That’s always our goal and we want to take the district title. We had it a long time and want to get it back,” Settle said. So far, so good. The Falcons are 2-1, handling Class 5 Tuscarora 6-0 and Kettle Run 4-0 easily, and falling to mighty Tabb 7-0 on the road in Newport News. Settle says her team is deep, talented and cohesive. “The entire roster of 17 can

handle significant playing time. I can sub in whole groups at a time and they all have good communication and comfort level together,” the veteran coach said. On the forward line, the starters are junior Cara Rooke, senior McKenna Locke, freshman Makenzie Settle and senior Addie Gorg, with senior Aubrey Norseworthy and senior McKenna Cupka also seeing action. The midfield is led by junior Kirsten Settle, who plays center midfield, sopho-

more Aubrey Cupka and junior Lily Retana-Rodriguez. The defenders are senior Zoe Corby, senior Georgia Grady and sophomore Emily Crider, with sophomore Annabelle Grady also playing a lot. The starting goalie is junior Maria Camarca with sophomore Jena Buzzi the backup. The team has three sets of sisters with Settle’s two daughters, the Cupkas and Gradys. “I didn’t think about it,” said Settle with a smile. “They all started against Kettle Run. It’s kind of fun.”

Eagles look to extend 20-game Bird Bowl winning streak By Peter Brewington Sports Editor

Last year Kevin Odlum won his first game as Liberty High football coach with a 38-6 win over Fauquier in the Bird Bowl. A year later, new Fauquier High coach Donnie Downs is in the same situation. The young coach is looking to make a big splash right off the bat with a stunning, program-defining win over the archrival Eagles in the county’s longest running football rivalry. The 31st Bird Bowl is Friday at Liberty at 7 p.m.

Donnie Downs debuts as Fauquier High’s 13th football coach Friday.

“One of my biggest goals when I got hired was to put a product on the field, especially in this first game,” said Downs, who is 31. Although Liberty has won 20 straight Bird Bowls and leads the series 26-4, Fauquier recently beat the Eagles 21-14 in 2020 in a game that wasn’t designated as a Bird Bowl. Friday’s showdown could be tight as both teams are young, hungry and untested. Despite Liberty’s one-sided reign, Fauquier is being rebranded under Downs, an energetic former Culpeper High quarterback who replaced Karl Buckwalter.

“We got to take pride in being the school that wears the name of the county,” said Downs. “I tell them that all the time. There’s no reason that we can’t compete and go out and have a chance to win it.” Liberty is 0-1 after losing to Kettle Run 39-7 last week. Odlum expects some new challenges against Downs’ squad. “It’s a different year. It’s a new coach. It’s a new team. They have a new attitude. I think we just need to get better at what we do and then execute our own game plan,” the second-year coach said.

Emogene Eaton

Malcolm Floyd McIntyre

Emogene Eaton of Warrenton passed away peacefully on Monday, August 19 after a prolonged illness. She was an employee of the Town of Warrenton for fifty years. Born a preacher's daughter on a farm near Bogalusa Louisiana during the Great Depression, Emogene lived a full and rich life. She graduated from Rayville High School where she was a scholar athlete playing softball and basketball. After graduation, she attended Lee Bible College in Tennessee. She met her husband Douglas at her place of work, the Atlas Powder dynamite plant in Tennessee. The two liberals living in the south bonded when hearing the Supreme Court decision of Brown v Board of Education ruling in 1954. They shared 38 years together and raised seven children. They moved to California in 1955, and then on to Warrenton, Virginia in 1966. Almost everyone seemed to know her. Emogene was the first den mother of an integrated Cub Scout Pack and later helped with a troop for those with special needs. She started working for the Warrenton Police Department in 1968 as a crossing guard, then as the dispatcher with a calm voice letting you know help was on the way, then as the records clerk. At 70, she took her kind and friendly smile to the Warrenton Visitors Center, where she worked another 15 years until late 2019. Other jobs included delivering the Washington Star and working for the census. She was a tireless and dedicated member of the Fauquier County Democratic Committee, working on every election local and national from 1972 up until 2019. A fierce believer in democracy, she always carried a copy of the U.S. Constitution with her, and would remind everyone it was their Constitutional privilege to vote in this very important upcoming election. Emogene had the laugh you heard across the room, and made everyone feel at ease. Her kind heart let many into her home or for a place to pitch their tent when they needed a place to lay their head. She was an avid sports fan, from football to baseball - she rewatched Game 7 of the Nationals winning the World Series more times than anyone would bother to count, and may have watched the Doug Williams Redskins 1988 Superbowl win even more. She loved watching basketball - especially the UConn women and UVA men's teams. At one UConn game she caught the t-shirt from the cannon - and then her grandson Sean had to catch her. She was a voracious reader who particularly loved mysteries, but also the Bible, reading it cover to cover seven times. She is predeceased by her husband, Douglas and her brothers: Malcolm, Glenn, and James. She is survived by her seven children: Phillip, Suzan, Mary, Jonathan, Kathleen (Patrick), Carolyn (John), and Malcolm (Faith); her sister, Carolyn (who called every day); brothers: John and Ken (Paula); five grandchildren: Caitlin and Sean Eaton-Robb (Hannah), William Alkire (Kennedy), Ra and Dae Eaton; and by cousins: Grace DeLatour and Rolf Hokkanson. Special thanks to her son, Jonathan who was her caregiver for many years assisted by her son, Phillip. Also special thanks to Hospice of Piedmont. A memorial service will be held September 21, 2024, at 11 am, at the Warrenton Community Center with a reception following. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of the Piedmont or Habitat for Humanity. Online condolences can be given at www.joynesfuneralhome.com

Malcolm Floyd McIntyre, longtime resident of Warrenton, VA, died on Tuesday, August 20th, 2024, in Fairfax. Born December 6th, 1945 in Louisville, Kentucky, Mr. McIntyre spent his early youth in Louisville, Washington D.C., and Riverdale, Maryland. His family moved to Clifton, Virginia in 1954 where he completed his elementary school years at Clifton Elementary. For his high school education, he attended Fairfax High (the original, he was always quick to point out), graduating in 1963. After living in Fairfax and a brief return to Clifton, he moved to Warrenton in 1980, residing there for the rest of his life. Soon after his high school graduation he began a 40 plus year career with the phone company, pre- and post-Bell System breakup. He went several years past his "retirement" working as a consultant, including stints at the Washington Navy Yard and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in DC. After those years, he was an independent contractor, maintaining systems for people who did not want to give up their landlines. He also kept a connection with his communication career by building an impressive collection of phone memorabilia (and keeping his landline). An automobile enthusiast from his early youth (always a Ford man), he covered many miles going to classic car conventions and swap meets, as well as attending many NASCAR races and NHRA competitions (all classes). He went to some Indy car and Formula 1 races but stock cars and drag races were his preferred events. He was active in the Warrenton community, providing transportation for both friends and folks he was just meeting. Mr. McIntyre is survived by his three sons; Malcolm Jr., Stephen, and David, his nine grandchildren; Malcolm III, Clarissa, Taylor, Elizabeth, James, David, Eloise, Finnegan, and Callahan, his one great-granddaughter, Rachael, four nieces and nephews; Conor, Caitlin, Brandon, and Brady, and his three siblings, sisters Gwendolyn and Charlotte and brother Marvin. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mynor F. McIntyre and Hazel Wilson McIntyre, and Malcolm Jr.'s sister, Michelle. The family would like to thank the staff of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery department of Fairfax Inova Hospital for the care, support, and kindness they provided to Mr. McIntyre and his family. Gratitude is also expressed to the EMS team who cared for Mr. McIntyre during transport. In lieu of flowers, the McIntyre family requests that donations, or baked goods, be made to your local fire & rescue company.

David Vincent Hanna On August 24, 2024, at age 49, David Vincent Hanna of Broad Run, Virginia, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family. David was preceded in death by his father, Robert Walker Hanna, and his brother, Michael Robert Hanna. David is survived by his loving wife Tamaro (nee Tatum), his son Lewis, and his mother Carol (nee Keen). A native of Fauquier County, David earned an Associate's degree in computer Animation from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from George Mason University. He worked as a consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton for about twenty years before changing careers to work with children with autism. David was a gentle, intelligent, and kind soul, who loved being a father to his son Lewis, the light of his life. He also loved art, music, gaming, F1, and Volkswagens. David was proficient at playing a multitude of instruments and could be seen playing the drums locally at pubs and wineries in Fauquier County with his friends in the band, the Butternotes. Although our hearts are broken that David passed away at such a young age, we are comforted that he is no longer suffering the agony of Bulbar Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Gone too soon but loved forever, a celebration of life and his father will be held on Sunday, October 6, 2024. A special thanks to Trinity Hospice for the kindness, professionalism, and support during David's last weeks of life.
