Local high school students stage walkout to promote ‘safe spaces’
Jury to decide fate of two men charged in ‘Trip’ Bopp’s murder
By Colleen LaMay
Fauquier Times staff writer
After testimony from 20 witnesses over four days, a jury must decide this week whether José Pereira and/or Darren Davis Charles William is guilty in the “Trip” Bopp III botched burglary that led to the murder of Trip Bopp on April 22, 2021.
Students at Fauquier and Kettle Run high schools staged a walkout during the final class period Tuesday to protest new draft policies on transgender students. A protest also was planned at Liberty High School, but no information on a walkout there was available by press time Tuesday. “I protested because I want everyone to feel safe and welcome in the world, because we are all human and should not be treated differently based on how we feel or who we love,” said Emory, 17, a senior at Fauquier High. “I want to protect my underclassmen and create a voice for people who cannot speak,” Emory said.

Moms for Liberty says it has “paused” all 17 challenges to books it considers too sexually explicit or sexually violent to be on the shelves of Fauquier County school libraries while the school division fixes “the problems in their book selection and contestation processes.” “The system in place for addressing parental concerns with explicit materials in school libraries is simply inadequate for the volume of material that is being contested,” said Amie Bowman, treasurer for the Fauquier chapter of Moms for Liberty.

Steve and Flower Girl impress at state fair Jason Loris grows giant veggies in Amissville
As a civilian contractor with the U.S. Army, Loris was forced to put away his garden tools when he was sent to Iraq and Afghanistan for 12 years. “There were no gardens in the desert,” he said. But at the end of his assignment, he returned to Maryland where he got his hands dirty again and grew a 22-pound cabbage head. In 2016, he and his wife, Beth, and their daughters Lezy, Mila and Jazzlyn moved to Amissville to be close to Beth Loris’ family. Loris’ work as a government contractor frequently brings him into Warrenton.
By Aimee O’Grady
Special to the Fauquier Times
Amissville resident Jason Loris harvested his largest sunflower head and two huge watermelons – one is 129 pounds and the other is 147 pounds -- for the Virginia State Fair contest in Dahlgren last week. Lezy, Loris’ 4 1/2-year-old daughter, named the huge melons Steve and Flower Girl. Loris placed sixth at the fair for his biggest watermelon, but his sunflowers were the real triumph. His largest giant black and gold flower measured nearly 26” in diameter. “I blew everyone away with the sunflowers,” he said, placing first and second. Because of the size of his entries, Loris said the fair will institute a giant sunflower category next year. “Mine were three times bigger than any other at the fair,” he beamed. He also won ribbons for some of his other vegetables – second place for banana peppers and second place for Anaheim chili peppers. Jason Loris has been gardening since he was old enough to hold a shovel. The first garden he remembers working in was when he was 10 years old. When he was 12 in 1990, living in Oklahoma, he grew Atlantic giant pumpkins from seeds his mother ordered from a catalog. The breed is genetically designed to grow large. The biggest of the four he grew was 151 pounds. He entered them in the Alabama Oklahoma state fair and took home four blue ribbons. The next year, he broke a 50-year Oklahoma Alabama State Fair record with a 206-pound

Jason Loris measured his largest watermelon before harvesting it for the Virginia State Fair. Based on the measurements, he estimated the melon weighed about 138 pounds, but when it was weighed a week later, it turned out to be 147 pounds.’ pumpkin. “I made the paper and was on TV,” said Loris of his large-pumpkin celebrity. “Other more notable vegetables I grew were a 21-pound cantaloupe, 8-pound cucumber and an 11-pound zucchini,” he said.
Loris uses raised beds in his 60’ X 80’ garden. A 4 ½ foot untreated wooden fence encloses the space. The inside of the fence is augmented with an asphalt-lined corrugated shingle that keeps the air circulating between the wood and the dirt and helps prevent rotting. “I wanted something that wouldn’t break down and wasn’t treated, since vegetables grown near treated wood are not suitable for eating,” he said. One of the secrets to Loris’ giant vegetables is — wait for it — rabbit manure. His own pet bunnies contribute to the pile. Loris also has an extensive irrigation system that keeps his garden hydrated. He adds a special mixture to the giant drums of water so that every time the garden gets water, it also receives nutrients. Loris tries not to use pesticides, but said, “I must use some. Without pesticides, I wouldn’t have a garden.” He does spray fungicide on the watermelon leaves. “You need to keep a plant’s leaves healthy. Especially watermelon. The more leaves, the sweeter the melon,” he said. See VEGGIES, page 10

State-of-the-art science building is newest addition to Laurel Ridge Community College By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Benefactors of Laurel Ridge Community College in Warrenton and community members on Sept. 21 celebrated the completion of Eleanor C. and William A. Hazel Hall, a $27.7 million health, science and engineering building on the Warrenton campus. The two-story, 40,000-square-foot building includes state-of-the art classrooms and laboratories where health care, science and engineering students will receive hands-on training. A short ceremony and reception were held in the Barkman Family Conference Center, a large, bright conference room that Chris Coutts, vice president of communications and planning for Laurel Ridge Community College, invited community groups to use, as well. Also on the first floor are several science labs and collaboration and study spaces. “Hazel Hall is a gamechanger for us. Built especially for the sciences – engineering and healthcare – it greatly increases our capacity to enroll students” in these study specialties, Coutts said. Shannon Weisbrodt, a 2020 graduate of the community college’s nursing program, spoke to the assembled crowd, providing a real-world example of how hands-on training can result in good jobs and community benefit. Weisbrodt, who since her graduation has earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Virginia, said she is taking the Hazel family’s generosity and paying it forward by caring for patients. The RN expressed her gratitude for the solid start she received at the Middletown campus of then-Lord Fairfax

Hazel Sr. and his wife, Eleanor, were instrumental in bringing the LFCC satellite campus to Fauquier County in the early 1970s. William A. Hazel Sr. died in 2012; Eleanor Hazel died in 2020. Dr. Bill Hazel Jr. said his parents, though generous benefactors to educational and healthcare-related causes, “didn’t have their names on a lot of things.” He thought Ha-
zel Hall was an appropriate way to remember them. “My dad always said, ‘Education is the beginning of everything,’” Hazel said. “It’s an opportunity to go from where you are to where you want to be.” Hazel said his parents and his siblings are carrying the legacy forward because they believe in the community-college system. “The education it provides is accessible, affordable and rigorous. It’s providing opportunities for the next generation.” Funding for the new facility came from donations, including $1 million from the family of William A. Hazel Sr. and $1 million from the PATH Foundation, with much of the remainder coming from state funding. Construction began in June 2021.
Several well-equipped science labs are already in use at the community college.

Jury to decide fate of two men charged in ‘Trip’ Bopp’s murder TRIAL, from page 1 The jury began deliberating Tuesday afternoon after prosecutors and defense attorneys delivered their closing arguments as Bopp’s family and friends watched from the gallery, as they had throughout the trial. No verdict had been reached by press time Tuesday. “Mr. Bopp was killed — murdered in cold blood,” Pereira’s attorney Eric Shamis told the jury during his closing argument Tuesday. “The question you all have to decide is: Is Mr. Pereira responsible for that death?” It was a question echoed by Davis’ attorney Mark Williams. Two people, Martin Martinez and Jury Guerra, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder before the trial began. Guerra initiated a plot to burglarize a man — a friend of her brother’s — who, like Bopp, lived and worked on a sprawling farm on Freemans Ford Road near Remington. Guerra arranged for her brother to take his friend fishing. Martinez would find a safe full of money in the residence, Guerra promised, forwarding Martinez photos of the safe he should look for. Critically, she sent a video to Martinez, pointing to a satellite map of the farm and explaining which house to target. In the clip, she points to what she thinks is the trailer home where her brother’s friend lives. Instead, it is Bopp’s small rental house, setting the young farmer on a fatal collision course with the conspirators. Pereira and Davis say they weren’t involved in the burglary plot. As their defense attorneys have been quick to point out, no physical evidence links either man to the murder scene or to the inside of Bopp’s house. The lawyers argued they had explanations for the other evidence prosecutors used to link the men to the homicide. For instance, cell phone records indicate Davis’ phone was in the Remington area at the time of the murder. But Williams pointed to testimony from Pereira that Martinez was using Davis’ phone that day. Just because Davis’ phone was at the scene does not mean that Davis himself was there, Williams argued. Prosecutors, he emphasized, must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Davis himself — not his phone — was involved in the incident. For Pereira, mounting a defense was trickier. A court-ordered GPS monitor tracked him to Bopp’s house during the incident. Pereira was the primary driver of a vehicle belonging to his mother, and a trail camera captured that vehicle entering and leaving the farm before and after the murder. A surveillance video from a Bealeton convenience store showed Pereira buying work gloves shortly before the murder. Pereira himself admitted the perpetrators of the burglary-turned-homicide wore those gloves. Pereira’s attorney acknowledged
The defendants in ‘Trip’ Bopp murder Each of the four people charged with murdering “Trip” Bopp lived in the Manassas-Woodbridge area. All were charged with first-degree murder and other felonies related to the alleged incidents that led to Bopp’s death. On trial were José Pereira, 33, and Darren Davis, 37. Pereira was represented by Leesburg-based attorney
Eric Shamis. Davis was represented by Warrenton-based attorney Mark Williams. Two other defendants, Martin Martinez, 31, and Jury Guerra, 30, each pleaded guilty to all charges before the trial began. There was no plea deal, and they will be sentenced by a judge in January. Darren Nathaniel Davis, Jury Beatrice Guerra, Martin Anuar Martinez and Jose Vidal Pereira
‘Trip’ Bopp
Charles William Bopp III — known to all as “Trip” — was 24 years old when he was killed April 22, 2021, after interrupting a burglary of the small rental home where he lived on a farm near Remington. He was the son of Sue Bopp and Charles “Charlie” Bopp Jr., who retired as a major from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office in 2020. His uncle, Ken Smith, owns the county’s largest dairy operation. Bopp had no prior direct connection to any of the defendants, according to the sheriff’s office. Instead, investigators allege, the suspects intended to burglarize a nearby residence but had the wrong address. “At an early age, Trip knew he wanted to be a farmer as he shared the passion with his grandfather and uncle on Cool Lawn Farm and cousins near and far,” said Bopp’s obituary. “Living on his family farm, he was up early taking care of his dairy cattle before school and would get on his John Deere tractor as soon as school was out.” At the time he was killed, the obituary said, “Trip was working with Jonathan Tufts at Springs Valley Farm running a commercial hay production business and developing new products to assist in preserving the environment. Trip embraced the values of farming and spent as much time outdoors as he could, learning and appreciating the importance of caring for animals, the land and open spaces.” from the first day of the trial that his client was present at the murder. Shamis asked the jury to be patient and laid careful groundwork for Pereira’s eventual defense.
Pereira’s testimony
That groundwork came to fruition Monday. In a surprise move, Pereira decided to testify in front of the jury, rebutting the evidence against him, point by point. Pereira readily acknowledged that he was at the farm during the murder. But he was only there because Martinez and a man – not mentioned before this revelation and known only as “Big Homie” — had tricked him into being there, he maintained. Davis had no role whatsoever in the incident, Pereira said. He had only agreed to ride along to a drug deal, Pereira testified, and Martinez and the other man threatened him when they arrived at the farm. He was never a willing participant in the events that led to Bopp’s death, he said. He and Martinez had smoked marijuana on the drive from Manassas to southern Fauquier County, Pereira told the jury, and he asked to stop at the convenience store to buy something to drink. While he was there, he also bought work gloves for lifting weights at the gym that evening, he said. In his version of the story, Pereira had no prior knowledge of the burglary plot and was intimidated into silence after witnessing Mar-
tinez shoot and kill Bopp. Martinez used Davis’ phone throughout the day of the murder, Pereira said. Why is not clear. He was too scared to say anything until this week, he said. After dropping him off at home after the incident, Pereira said that Martinez told him to remember “that I know where you live at.” Pereira’s attorney acknowledged that his decision to join Martinez and Big Homie in what he thought was a drug deal “was probably a stupid idea.” But, Shamis told the jury, “The fact that [Pereira] was there does not make him guilty;” Pereira was honest about his poor decisions, Shamis argued. “[Pereira] didn’t try to testify that he thought he was going to church that day,” Shamis told the jury. “He’s not sugarcoating his life.” Fauquier County Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Abigail Romero, who prosecuted the case with Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Hook, picked apart Pereira’s credibility during her cross examination and closing argument. She pointed out that Pereira had never told anyone this version of events until this week. Big Homie, she argued, was a convenient — and fictional — device to clear Pereira’s friend Davis of any wrongdoing. And, she argued, Pereira had seen all the evidence that prosecutors had shown the jury during the trial, giving him the opportunity to tailor his testimony to explain away every
piece of evidence. “Pereira has an answer for every detail,” she told the jury on Tuesday. “That’s what happens when you get to craft your story.”
Martinez’ testimony
Pereira’s testimony came three days after Martinez took the witness stand and implicated Davis as the triggerman and described Pereira as a willing participant in the burglary plot. In Martinez’ telling, Davis was in on the plot to burglarize the target Guerra had identified. Martinez and Davis first drove to the farm to look for security cameras — they didn’t find the trail camera mounted on a utility pole next to the driveway. They drove back to Manassas and asked to use Pereira’s vehicle for the burglary. Pereira agreed to come with them, according to Martinez’ testimony, and Martinez and Davis told Pereira about the details of the burglary plot when they got to Bealeton. Pereira agreed to take part in the burglary and bought three pairs of work gloves so they wouldn’t leave fingerprints at the scene. According to Martinez, Pereira and Davis ransacked Bopp’s house in a futile attempt to find the safe that was, in fact, at another residence a quarter of a mile away. Martinez stayed in the SUV as a lookout. He rushed into the house to warn Pereira and Davis when he saw Bopp’s truck enter the driveway, apparently dropping his phone on the floor in the process. The three exited the house through a window. As Bopp pulled up to the house, “Me and Pereira kind of hesitated,” Martinez said. Meanwhile, Davis “confronted” Bopp. “What did Davis do?” Romero asked. “Shot him,” Martinez replied. “I said, ‘Why’d you do that?’” Martinez continued. Davis, he said, “just looked at us, and we hopped in the car.” Martinez’ testimony also appeared to corroborate earlier statements from an eyewitness who said that he saw “a tall black guy” and a “short white guy” running from Bopp’s house minutes after the murder. Martinez — and allegedly See TRIAL, page 14

Moms for Liberty says it has ‘paused’ all challenges against ‘sexually explicit’ books while school board updates policies BOOKS, from page 1 Changes in school division policies regarding how library books are selected and how parents can challenge books they regard as inappropriate are expected by the end of students’ winter break, School Board Chair Donna Grove (Cedar Run) said. Fauquier County Public Schools’ policies do not have a required timeline for finishing a school-based review of library books after parents request one. A school division spokeswoman said the book challenges, which could have impacted six schools — Kettle Run High School, Liberty High School, Fauquier High School, Southeastern Alternative School, Marshall Middle School and Warrenton Middle School — were “withdrawn.” “Yes, we have received notification that all current book challenges have been withdrawn, and schools have been notified,” said Tara Helkowski, spokeswoman for Fauquier County Public Schools. “It seems that those challenging have decided to approach the conversation differently,” she said. Whether “withdrawn” or “paused,” Moms for Liberty in a news release dated Sept. 20 said it looked forward to changes in policies regarding school library books. “During the School Board meeting on Sept. 12, Fauquier County Public Schools announced the need to revise and update school policies as they relate to sexually explicit content in classrooms and libraries,” the conservative group said in the release. “This announcement comes after months of advocating for parental rights and educating both the board and parents in the community of the

School board meeting
The next regular Fauquier County School Board meeting will start at 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 10, in the Falcon Room at Fauquier High School, 705 Waterloo Road. school board meeting. “The board recognizes and hears the concern about increased input for parents around some of the content of what is in our libraries in schools and acknowledges that it is time to have a more meaningful dialogue,” Grove said at the meeting. “This is not a conversation about censorship, but a broader conversation about how we might be able to make sensible changes that we can all agree upon that still allows for the choice that we value and gives parents increased information about the experiences their children are having in our schools,” she said. Grove spoke about revising the school division’s policies around how library books are chosen, and the process for challenging books that some parents may consider inappropriate. “So, it’s time to have that discussion about revision of these policies,” Grove said. Grove quoted an author of one of the challenged books as saying all parents have the right to determine what is appropriate for their own children to read, but they do not have the right to determine what is OK for other people’s children to read. Grove did not name the author, but Ashley Hope Perez, who wrote “Out of Darkness” (one of the recently challenged books), said the same in an interview with the Fauquier Times. See BOOKS, page 7
School Board Chair Donna Grove says the school board will update these policies in the coming months Library books about controversial subjects:
• Religion: Factual, unbiased materials representing major religions of the world shall be included in library collections. • Ideologies: “The libraries shall, without making any effort to sway reading judgment, make available basic factual information on the level of their students any ideology or philosophy which exerts a strong force, either favorable or unfavorable, in government, current events, politics or other phases of life.” • Sex and profanity: “Materials with accents on sex shall be subjected to a stern test of literary merit and reality by the media specialist who shall take into consideration the community, the laws and the accepted public moral standards. While libraries would not in any case include the sensational, overdramatic or pornographic, the appearance of sexual incidents or profanity shall not automatically disqualify a book. Rather the decision shall be made on the basis of whether the book presents life in its true proportions, whether circumstances are realistically dealt with and whether the book is of literary value. Factual material of an educational nature on the level of the reader shall be included in the literary collections.” — SCHOOL BOARD POLICY 6-5.2
Steps for processing complaints regarding instructional materials and learning resources: Step 1: Talk to the librarian at your children’s school.
Any parent who does not want their children to read a specific title in their school library can contact the school’s librarian, who in turn will put the children’s names on a list that prohibits them from checking out the book.
Step 2: Ask for a school-based review.
If that per pupil-approach does not satisfy parents, a librarian or teacher will outline the steps for filing an official complaint, including submitting a request for reconsideration to the librarian or school principal. From there, a committee will be formed that includes an administrator, teachers and school community members. All committee members must read the entire book and all supporting documentation. The committee’s decision will be delivered to the building principal. The policy does not include a deadline. The book will remain in the library while the review is under way. At the high school level, there is a shared catalog, so removing a book
from one high school library would remove it from all high schools. A book removed from elementary school libraries could be moved to the middle school level.
Step 3: Appeal to associate superintendent. If a parent objects to the outcome of the school review, the school principal will submit a Request for Reconsideration of Learning Resources form to Major Warner, associate superintendent for instruction. Warner would appoint a committee of five to seven people, including a teacher, a parent and a member of the business or professional community. A public hearing would be required. A decision must be made within 60 days. The decision would apply only to the grade level for which the material is being challenged.
Step 4: Appeal to school board.
People who disagree with the superintendent’s decision can appeal to the school board, which must announce the challenge at a public session and decide a book’s fate within 30 days. The decision is final. If the board decides to remove a book, it remains off the shelves of all school libraries for three full school years. — SCHOOL BOARD POLICY 6-5.7

BOOKS, from page 6 “We will be placing this topic on the (school board) summit agenda for November to nail down the specifics of how the policy conversation will move forward,” Grove said. “We expect that we will have this done by the winter break, with the hopes of beginning the work in January.” In its release, Moms for Liberty also said it was looking forward to seeing the division’s new policy requiring teachers to notify parents if their children are assigned “sexually explicit materials” in class and allowing parents to request alternate assignments. A new state law mandates all school divisions have such a policy in place by Jan. 1, 2023. The policy would not stop students
from picking books off the shelves of their school library to read on their own, but it might impact school-wide reading initiatives or book clubs, among other things, Associate Superintendent Major Warner said. School officials are seeking legal advice, he said. The 17 books Moms for Liberty challenged in July and August were still awaiting school-based reviews when the conservative group “paused” its challenges. That is the first level of escalation if parents are not satisfied with simply contacting their school librarian. The librarian can prohibit a child from checking out a particular book. Such “opt-out” policies are common in school districts nationwide. Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@ fauquier.com

Local high school students stage walkout to promote ‘safe spaces’ WALKOUT, from page 1 About 200 students signed up to attend the walkout at Fauquier High, which was organized by Finn, 17, a trans man and a senior at Fauquier High. “Finn is the one that bravely organized this,” Emory said. “We are all really proud of him for standing up for himself.” School administrators asked that press not attend the walkouts. “As you know, any possible walkout would occur during the instructional day,” Fauquier County Public Schools spokeswoman Tara Helkowski said. “To protect student privacy and minimize distractions, we ask
that reporters not come to schools today. We decline the request for photos or interviews on school grounds,” Helkowski said. Fauquier High School had some “slight counterprotests” and some students came to skip class, Emory said. “There were about 200 students there and we had a lot of great support.” Emory said. “Even the kids who came to get out of class or had different opinions cheered and showed support,” Emory said. “I spoke to the one who wanted to talk, and he agreed that we did have good points, and should all come together as one, and he said in the future he will work with us to provide two dif-
ferent opinions, but be respectful.” Views of other students at Fauquier High: • “I think it’s important for everyone to feel safe regardless of their gender identity or sexuality and that’s the main reason we decided to stand up and use our voices today.” – Lauren, 17 • “I think today was a huge success. We created a safe space where kids could share their stories and find community among peers. I hope this can help show people how important it is to hear queer voices” — Hannah, 17 Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@fauqiuer.com

Fauquier school board directed to approve new policies on treatment of transgender students POLICIES, from page 1 The new policies require parental approval for changes to students’ “names, nicknames and/or pronouns,” direct schools to keep parents “informed about their children’s well-being,” including issues involving gender identity or sexual orientation, and specify that student participation in activities and athletics shall be based on sex. The policies also state that “students shall use bathrooms that correspond to his or her sex, except to the extent that federal law otherwise requires.” Earlier this month, Youngkin’s administration directed Fauquier schools, along with every other school division in Virginia, to come up with a policy requiring teachers to notify parents if their children are assigned “sexually explicit materials” and allowing parents to request alternate assignments. Parents’ rights were a cornerstone of Youngkin’s campaign for governor in 2021.
Concern for transgender students
A trans man who is a senior at Fauquier High School opposed Youngkin’s policies on transgender students for a variety of reasons but was especially concerned about the impact on trans and non-binary students who lack acceptance from their parents. School is the only safe space some students have, said Finn, 17, whose last name is being withheld at his and his parents’ request, to protect his safety. Some students may be “out” at school, but not at home, Finn said. That can create problems if trans students want their teachers to call them by names that fit their gender identity or if they ask teachers to call them by different pronouns. Teachers could be required to notify parents in such cases, according to the model policy. The policy as it now stands has worked well overall for Finn, who said he emailed individual teachers at the start of every school year with his preferred name and pronouns. Within a week, most teachers got the message. “I am very lucky,” he said. “I had teachers that were very accepting and accommodating.” To ensure that his name was right on his diploma, Finn legally changed his name before senior year began. Finn had advice for the school board as they debate how to proceed in the coming months. “I think that they should try to remember that everybody’s situation is different, and I feel like they should try to remember that safety is not (always) in the home, and the parents are not always the safest person, and that students try to find safety elsewhere.” The draft policies could result in students being “outed” by teachers who are required to notify parents. “Coming out is very important for people, and it is very important for them to de-
Model policies
Here is some of the language in the Virginia Department of Education document called “2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for all Students and Parents in Virginia’s Public Schools: • “The First Amendment forbids government actors to require individuals to adhere to or adopt any particular ideological beliefs. Practices such as compelling others to use preferred pronouns is premised on the ideological belief that gender is a matter of personal choice or subjective experience, not sex. Many Virginians reject this belief.” • “The First Amendment guarantees religious freedom and prohibits compelling others to affirm ideas that may be contrary to their personal religious beliefs.” • “Schools shall respect parents’ values and beliefs: Parents have the right to instill in and nurture values and beliefs for their own children and make decisions concerning their children’s education and upbringing in accordance with their customs, faith, and family culture.” • [School Division] shall change the legal name or sex in a student or former student’s official record only if a parent or eligible student submits a legal document, such as a birth certificate, state- or federal-issued identification, passport, or court order substantiating the student or former student’s change of legal name or sex. The full model policy is here: https://doe. virginia.gov/support/gender-diversity/2022model-policies-on-the-privacy-dignity-and-respectfor-all-students-town-hall.pdf cide when that happens and taking that away from them is very wrong,” Finn said. Finn’s mother, Cindy, said the model policy appeared skewed toward the rights of parents at students’ expense. “And I’m confused,” she said in an email after reading the model policy and the directives around it. “Does the new policy state that even if the parent says to call a student by their preferred name and pronouns, that school personnel don’t have to comply? What!?” (See box, Model policies.)
School administration’s response to directive
Fauquier County Public Schools Superintendent David Jeck said he did not interpret the model policy that way. Jeck said that adopting new policies usually takes two months, sometimes three for final approval. Jeck declined to share his view of Youngkin’s directives, saying, “I’ll support whichever policy the SB (school board) ultimately approves.”
School board meeting
The next regular meeting of the Fauquier County School Board will start at 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 10, in the Falcon Room at Fauquier High School, 705 Waterloo Road. A 30-day public comment period on the draft transgender policies is expected to open Sept. 26, after which they will go into effect. Two of Fauquier’s five school board members responded to a request from the Fauquier Times for comment. “I support a student’s right to educational programs and services that does not discriminate based on race, religion, color, gender, national origin, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law,” wrote Stephanie Litter-Reber (Lee District) in an emailed response. “Our school board policy (7-1.2) ref lects this position,” said Litter-Reber, referring to the division’s nondiscrimination policy, which deals largely with sexual harassment. “I also support and believe in our FCPS1 educators’ ability to deal with individual situations based on the needs of that specific situation - something they have been doing, successfully, long before this subject turned into a political football. “I do not foresee any significant changes to our existing policy,” Litter-Reber said. Fellow board member Vincent Gallo (Scott District) declined to address transgender policies. “I am looking forward to discussing this with my fellow board members during our scheduled meetings. I believe that is the best opportunity and method to engage and discuss this topic and your questions in detail.”
‘A political football’
Equality Virginia, an advocacy group supporting transgender and non-binary students, was critical of Youngkin’s draft policies, saying they targeted vulnerable youth. “Some politicians are using marginalized youths and trying to score political points off their backs,” said Narissa Rahaman, executive director of Equality Virginia. Youngkin spends time campaigning for GOP candidates out of state instead of talking to people who will be affected by his directives, Rahaman said. “If he had general concerns about what our students are going through, he would be here meeting with us and talking with us and learning more about our lived experience,” she said. Republican-aligned parent group Fight for Schools and the Family Foundation, a conservative Christian-led group, both of which have been critical of the state’s earlier policies on transgender students, applauded the draft policies.

All Fauquier County public schools accredited for 2022-2023
Pearson Elementary School is accredited with conditions because science-test scores are below state standards Fauquier Times Staff Report The Virginia Department of Education has accredited all Fauquier County Public Schools for the 20222023 school year. Eighteen schools received the highest accreditation rating, and Pearson Elementary School was
accredited with conditions because of students’ low science test scores. “I am very proud of our teachers, staff and especially our students,” Superintendent David Jeck said. “These results show that we have made huge gains in terms of addressing learning loss,” he said. “Our
teachers and staff really pulled off a miracle during the pandemic and continue to do miraculous things.” Virginia’s accreditation standards measure performance on multiple school-quality indicators of academic achievement, achievement gaps and student engagement and outcomes:
Elementary and middle school indicators:
• Overall proficiency and growth in English reading/writing and math, including progress of English learners toward English-language See ACCREDITATION, page 30
Fauquier school board directed to approve new policies on treatment of transgender students POLICIES, from page 8 “The Virginia Department of Education’s new model policy restores parental rights, protects the First Amendment rights of teachers and students, while also providing all students the right to attend school in an environment free from discrimination, harassment or bullying,” Fight for Schools said in a statement. Youngkin’s new policies overturn guidance laid out by a Democrat-backed 2020 law that required school districts to uphold student privacy about their transgender status, use pronouns and names requested by students and allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms that aligned with their gender identity. Youngkin has been critical of those policies, arguing parents should be informed about students’ gender identity or sexual orientation. The model policies developed as a result of the 2020 law got a mixed reception from school districts, many of which refused to formally adopt them. That included Fauquier schools, which instead adopted updates from the Virginia School Board Association.
Equal Educational Opportunities/ Nondiscrimination Policy 7-1.2
This is the Fauquier County Public Schools Nondiscrimination policy that school board member Stephanie Litter-Reber (Lee District) says will address many, if not all, of the directives from the Virginia Department of Education under Gov. Glenn Youngkin: https:// go.boarddocs.com/va/fcps/Board.nsf/files/ C9AMT6591700/$file/7-1.2.pdf School officials declined further comment on policies regarding trans students, but Equality Virginia characterized the VSBA updates as a set of very minor language changes to existing non-discrimination codes. Trans and nonbinary students are at higher risk of depression and suicide compared to cisgender students, studies show. The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGTBQ youth, says acceptance from peers and from adults is associated with significantly lower odds of attempting suicide.
‘I come at it as a priest first’
Nationwide, new policies curtailing the rights of trans youth create a climate of fear among kids who may already be vulnerable, said the Rev. Weston Mathews of Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains. Mathews ministers to many trans and non-binary people and their families. “I come at it as a priest, first,” Mathews said. “The teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and the witness of our biblical tradition beginning in Genesis teaches Christians that human beings are created in the image and likeness of a living God,” he said. That means all human beings. “A child is not a pawn to rile up the base or to scapegoat or be bullied by the state. They are to be loved and understood.” Most Virginians know that, Mathews said. And requiring schools to track children’s private information regarding gender is intrusive, Mathews said. “We have seen in history how that doesn’t go well. We shouldn’t be in the business of registering vulnerable people.” Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@fauquier. com The Virginia Mercury contributed to this story.

Early voting has begun for the Nov. 8 general election By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
A state-funded redistricting voter notice mailing was sent to all Fauquier County voters Sept. 19. The notice resembles an oversized postcard. These are voters’ official voter cards and reflect federal, state and local redistricting changes. A press release from the Fauquier County General Registrar’s office said, “Voters need to be aware that district and precinct information may well have changed for them, which will determine where they vote this November, so attention to polling place location is critical.”
Fauquier County polling places can be found at fauquiercounty.gov If voters received a redistricting notice in the mail for someone who no longer lives at that address or who has died, voters are asked to write on the notice “return to sender, not at this address” or, if dead, “return to sender, voter deceased.” “Getting this returned mail will allow our office to flag the voter’s record to be included in the annual federal list maintenance process authorized under the National Voter Registration Act,” the news release says. Voters can make any needed changes to their voter registration record by going to the De-

I check the garden daily,” he said. On the upside, deer seem not to be an issue for Loris. “We don’t have problems with rabbits or slugs either,” he said. Watching Loris step over and around the plants growing in his garden, it’s clear he knows where every root and stem is. Something that surprised him about this year’s crop was that his two biggest watermelons grew off the same stem. He knows a robust root system is the key to his success. For instance, Loris planted 3-feet-tall tomato plants into 2-foot holes in the ground so their root systems grew strong and deep. The resulting plant stems were 8 or 9 feet tall and at least an inch thick. He hopes to get large, healthy tomatoes into November. Maintaining his garden is a yearround activity. “When this garden is done, I will get ready for compost and topsoil and grow winter rye as a cover crop since it helps to adjust oxygen levels,” he said. It is yearround work to maintain the balance of healthy soil. Next year, he will plant the three sisters. “The combination of corn,

Of course, not every garden experiment works out perfectly. “I put my garden on pine roots and couldn’t get a tiller in there,” he said. So, he had six loads of cow manure, compost and chicken manure dumped. “The chicken manure was too fresh, and it attracted millions and millions of flies. It was awful,” he recalled. Jason Loris stood in his garden near his second-largest watermelon, which he estimated at the time was about 119 pounds.

Wakefield School names academic building in honor of Lt. Gen. John Fairfield Ashley Harper, Head of School at Wakefield, unveiled a portrait of Lt. Gen. John Fairfield, United States Air Force, Ret., as the middle and upper school building were named in his honor. The announcement, which coincided with the launch of Wakefield School’s year-long celebration of its 50th anniversary, came at the first allschool assembly of the 2022-23 school year and was part of a surprise celebration for the general. He was invited as the assembly’s keynote speaker, but he didn’t know that he and his wife, Donna, were also the event’s honorees. When Harper asked all students, faculty, staff and parents who “had the privilege of being read to, championed, mentored, or encouraged by General or Mrs. Fairfield” to stand up, everyone rose to their feet. Fairfield served in the U.S. Air Force for 34 years, logging more than 4,000 flight hours and 180 combat missions during the Vietnam War. He held command positions in the Strategic Air Command and at the Pentagon, at times commanding more than 85,000 personnel worldwide.

The exercise is an action-oriented event that allows participants to step into the real-life situations of others for 30 days, simulating the experience of walking in the shoes of someone who is facing poverty. After the experience, individuals will have the opportunity to discuss what they’ve learned with their peers. Katie Lang, member of the Fauquier NAACP’s Religious Affairs Committee, said in a press release, “Poverty is often portrayed as a standalone issue, but this simulation allows individuals to realize how complex and interconnected issues of poverty really are. The Community Action Poverty Simulation helps participants rethink the challenges that millions of low-income individuals face, then identify areas of change to support individuals, families and communities.

Piedmont Smiles will provide free dental care to adults in need Oct. 15 Piedmont Smiles, a free community dental day event originally slated for 2021, has been rescheduled for Oct. 15 at Fauquier High School in Warrenton. Patients may also come Friday, Oct. 14, for prescreening and X-rays. Piedmont Smiles is a one-day, pop-up event presented by the Fauquier Free Clinic; free dental care will be provided to adult residents of the region, including Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange counties. Dental volunteers will provide cleanings, fillings, extractions, oral surgery and endodontic services at the event, all at no cost to patients. Dental students and clinicians from VCU and from Howard University will help staff the event. Additional support is being provid-
ed by the Virginia Dental Association Foundation, Missions of Mercy and community stakeholders including the PATH Foundation, the Virginia Health Care Foundation and the Culpeper Wellness Foundation. Drs. Woodside and Sentz, Griffin and Errera Orthodontics, Definitive Logic, Dr. Lowe of Awesome Smiles and Fauquier Health are funding partners as well. “We’re looking forward to finally bringing this event to the community,” said Rob Marino, director of the Fauquier Free Clinic. “In our region, there’s a tremendous need for accessible dental care. Too many people have delayed or avoided dental care for far too long. Oral health is an essential component of overall health; it impacts your physical health, mental
health, and can even have an effect on social or economic prospects.” Lindsey Forsten, spokesperson for the event, said, “The event is intended to bring access to people who need it and have not been able to keep up with their dental care for financial reasons. We will not be doing an extensive eligibility screening process, however.” Patients will arrive at Fauquier High School and follow the signs to registration tables. After completing registration, patients will go to a health screening station, where medical professionals will check some basic information, like blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Patients will head to an X-ray and dental triage station, before moving
on to the dental treatment area. Onsite dental professionals will talk with each patient and provide free care based on their individual needs. Patients will receive aftercare instructions and medications (if needed) before they head home. Interested parties may fill out a contact form at piedmontsmiles.org to receive more information. Patient registration will take place in-person at the event, but interested patients can visit piedmontsmiles. org to sign up to receive email or text message alerts with reminders and additional event information ahead of time. More information, including frequently asked questions and sponsorship information, is also available at the website.
Jury to decide fate of two men charged in ‘Trip’ Bopp’s murder TRIAL, from page 4 Pereira and Davis — had returned to the crime scene in an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve Martinez’ cell phone, Martinez testified. Davis, who is Black, is 6 feet, 3 inches tall. Pereira, who is white, is 5 feet, 5 inches tall. Williams and Shamis focused much of their energy on discrediting Martinez. Besides his testimony, they argued, there is no other evidence linking Davis and Pereira to the burglary itself. Martinez, Williams argued, is “trapped like a rat” and will do “anything [he] can to get out of the cage.” Since the amount of evidence against Martinez is overwhelming, he continued, “he
came in here and lied” in the hopes that he would spend less time in prison. (He will be sentenced by a judge in January.) “There’s a lot of forensic evidence in this case, and none of it connects to Darren Davis,” Williams argued. “Nobody should be convicted on Martin Martinez’ testimony. If you are thinking about putting someone in prison for the rest of their life, you better be sure.” Likewise, Shamis argued that Pereira’s alleged complicity in the burglary — and therefore the murder — is based primarily on Martinez’ testimony. GPS data linked Pereira to the scene, Shamis acknowledged, but he argued that prose-

cutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Pereira was a willing participant — not just that he was present. And, he pointed out, there is no other evidence that Pereira ever entered Bopp’s house like Martinez said he did. “Virtually everything [prosecutors] have outside of Martin Martinez only goes to [Pereira’s] presence at the scene,” Shamis told the jury, arguing that it is not enough to convict Pereira. Romero countered that there is a “mountain of evidence” suggesting both Pereira and Davis were in on the burglary plot. “What their attorneys are attempting to do is distract you,” she told the jury.

Hydroponics shop heralds Warrenton Wizard Walk Skyline Hydroponics is hosting a friendly dragon on its roof right now to help highlight the Warrenton Wizard Walk coming to town Oct. 15. Robert Stephens explained that the shop, at 32 Waterloo St. (Suite G1), will host a “herbology” activity for children during the Wizard Walk. Skyline Hydroponics is a disabled veteran/familyowned business that sells gardening supplies for mostly indoor growing. The Warrenton Wizard Walk will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This free day of wizard-themed entertainment and activities will celebrate iconic fantasy collections, including Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and the Wizard of Oz, according to a press release from organizers. Featuring a yo-yo master, a Professor Snape-inspired magic show, a stilt walker and more, the event will expand on last year’s successful event, which brought hundreds of visitors to Old Town. The Warrenton Wizard Walk will also feature themed menu items at local restaurants and food trucks, as well as imaginative activities in local businesses, including The Warrenton Hobby Shoppe, Blue Ridge Cyclery, Sherrie’s Stuff, Haute Cakes and many more. Participants in the Warrenton Wizard Walk can begin their journey by picking up a “Wizarding Passport” at Warrenton Town Hall any time during the event. While there, they can also see “The Warrenton Warbler,” a wizarding newspaper created by The Fauquier Times. The newspaper, with moving photographs and magic-inspired local stories, will be featured on the big screen at Town Hall all day. The passport will lead visitors on a journey throughout Old Town with all participating local businesses divided into their “Whimsical Wizard Houses.” Quests to be completed include riding a magic carpet at Miller Carpets, meeting a local fantasy children’s author at The Open Book or indulging in a scoop of wizardish ice cream at Ellie’s Place. The first 1,000 seekers to complete three quests in each house, have their passports stamped and returned to Town Hall will receive a commemorative coin made by local engravers at Quilting Essentials.

Residents and visitors to Warrenton can see this bright dragon sitting atop Skyline Hydroponics at 32 Waterloo Street. An unlimited number of diligent seekers are encouraged to turn in their passports for entry into a grand-prize raffle. One of the event’s organizers, Cammie Fuller of The Open Book, said, “From J.R.R. Tolkien, to Tui T. Sutherland to C.S. Lewis, fantasy books have broad and enduring appeal. Many beloved books have been made into movies and TV shows so that entire generations have grown up seeking out magical wardrobes and learning the rules of Quidditch.” She invited fantasy fans of all ages to join in the fun. Sponsors of the Warrenton Wizard Walk include Allen Real Estate, Blue Ridge Cyclery, Quilting Essentials, Latitudes, The Open Book and Studio Luxe, as well as the many and varied Old Town businesses working to bring the festival to life.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Fauquier Times | September 28, 2022
GUEST OPINION
Data center decision must be based on best possible information Before year’s end, the Warrenton Town Council is likely to decide the fate of the proposed Amazon Blackwell Road data center, a decision that begs the larger question: What will the future of our town and Fauquier County be? Yes, there are serious unanswered questions about the facility, including noise/vibration, power requirements and visibility, but the fundamental issue is: Will Fauquier remain a beautiful rural area with a lovely town at its center, or will it follow in the sad path of Loudoun and Prince William and become the next data center hub in Northern Virginia? Odds are that the Blackwell data center will be the first of many proposed data centers in our area. At least one county supervisor has said that there will be more, and other town parcels are already being marketed for data centers. Dominion Energy’s initial plans for transmission lines coming across the county and into Warrenton will have the capacity to supply more than 20 times the electricity needed by the Blackwell Road data center. Faced with such a pivotal decision about the future of Warrenton and Fauquier, one would expect the town’s planning commission and council to be guided by all the
KEVIN RAMUNDO
information available. Apparently not so. There is no evidence we have seen that the town has sought out its own experts, and plenty of evidence that the town is relying on information Amazon and its lawyers are providing, including for the drafting of the data center zoning ordinance amendment. A noise study recently submitted by an Amazon consultant concluded that there was effectively no noise problem. Citizens for Fauquier County and a NASA engineer (quoted in the Fauquier Times story on Sept. 14, “Amazon study says its data center noise will meet town standards”) have reviewed the study and found it to be seriously flawed. Perhaps Amazon reached the same conclusion, because it has requested that the planning commission work session scheduled for Sept. 27 be delayed until October,
and they have asked the town for a meeting to talk about its noise ordinance. CFFC is in the process of submitting our noise analysis to the planning commission. CFFC’s work on noise will follow several other detailed submissions regarding our concerns about this data center proposal and requests to meet with town officials to discuss our findings. This work has taken hundreds of hours invested by our all-volunteer board, which includes former Warrenton Town Council members, former Fauquier County supervisors and planning commissioners and others. Our only motive for this enormous effort is a deep love and concern for the town and the county, and a desire for town officials to make a wise decision on behalf of the public and our members. While some conversations have occurred, our formal requests to meet with the town planning commission and town council have gone unanswered to date. The reason you’ll hear from Mayor Carter Nevill and some council members is that CFFC is a “special interest” group, a label that is now also being applied to Protect Fauquier, a large grass roots residents’ group that formed overnight to oppose the
Submitting letters to the editor
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
‘Parental rights’ should include respect for others’ views In response to Ms. Jamie Hinkle’s opinion dated Sept. 14 (“Moms for Liberty aims to empower parents”) — are we really going to go there? Are we really going to deflect from the reason I think Moms for Liberty is in existence (book bans and limiting parental rights to our children’s education, based solely on their political leanings)? That’s what I’m getting from this letter to the editor. This writer’s parental rights are the only way to go and to hell with the rest of us that don’t agree? Is that what parental rights mean to you? Allowing bullies to inflict damage on all public education rather than taking personal responsibility for the books they choose not to have their child
read? Why is this even an issue? Opt your child out, and let our children learn. Come after me. It’s OK. I’m going to go ahead and parent my child so they learn, grow and prosper with the knowledge that their life includes a patchwork of history, in all shades, in all nationalities, in all languages and mostly, it’s all about humanity and respect for others different than themselves. You raise yours; I’ll raise mine. And I’ll fight like hell so that my child never has to be excluded from the public education they deserve. You want to opt your child out of an inclusive education, have at it.

data center and related power lines. Well, that’s just a convenient way to disregard the concerns of well over 1,500 citizens. Let’s be clear. CFFC is a public interest group that represents many county and town residents from all walks of life who believe in our mission of protecting open space, agriculture and historical resources. Over 80% of our financial support comes from annual membership fees of $35 per person or $65 per family. We have no ulterior motives or financial interests in the town’s decision. Can the same be said about the real special interest groups here, Amazon and Dominion Energy; maybe others? In a recent interview in the Fauquier Times (“Warrenton mayor seeks second term as town faces difficult decisions,” Sept. 21) Mayor Nevill is quoted as follows on data centers: “We have to carefully listen to all the information.” Well then, why not listen to CFFC and others who could help the town make a wiser, more informed decision with more attention to process, more transparency and even more public input?

DOYLE PROMOTED TO TRIPLE A
Former Kettle Run baseball player Brenton Doyle has been red-hot since being promoted to Class AAA Albuquerque by the Colorado Rockies. Doyle, 24, hit two home runs Monday night and is hitting .448 in seven games with three home runs, eight RBI and .897 slugging percentage. A 2019 fourth round draft pick, Doyle is playing center field, which could provide him a ticket to the big leagues next year.

Running Oatlands now, and hopefully later Cross country venue will be site of Nov. 12 state meet By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
Saturday was a postseason preview for many of Virginia’s top cross country runners. They got a chance to compete at Oatlands Plantation, south of Leesburg, the site of the Class 4, 5 and 6 state championships on Nov. 12. The quality of competition at the Oatlands Invitational provided also drew teams from four other states. Fauquier and Kettle Run sent their teams, and once again Fauquier sophomore Cassidy Scott was county leader at the finish line. She faced off against 550 other runners over the sometimes difficult 5,000-meter course and took fifth in 18 minutes, 47 seconds. Scott was the second fastest Class 4 runner behind Western Albemarle’s Sadie Adams, who took second in 18:18. Herndon’s Gillian Bushee won in 18:14. Scott’s effort led Fauquier to 30th of 79 teams in the final stand-

‘WILD, CRAZY’ TD HIGHLIGHTS 54-28 WIN OVER JAMES WOOD

By Kettle Run standards this was a tough victory to analyze. Although so much ultimately went right in a 54-28 triumph over James Wood in their Northwestern District opener last Friday in Winchester, the Cougars (5-0) go back to practice for Friday’s showdown vs. Liberty (1-3) with mistakes to correct. First the really good. Facing their first two deficits of the year, the Cougars overcame being down 7-0 and 14-7 by generating a school-record 588 yards of offense. “That’s what we needed to see as a program,” said coach Charlie Porterfield. “We had not been down before. There was no panic, no moping or pouting. For me, it’s awesome seeing the guys respond.” Jordan Tapscott (3 catches, 156 yards, 3 TDs), Colton Quaker (127 yards rushing, 3 TDs), Peyton Mehaffey (129 rushing yards) and Abram Chumley (335 passing yards, 3 TDs) carried the offense as usual. Two-way starter Trey Western (4 catches, 91 yards) had his first TD of the year at receiver, and the Cougars scored one of the most remarkable plays in program history on 95-yard interception and fumble return TD to end the first half. The not-so-good were some defensive lapses, two turnovers and nine penalties. Kettle Run watched James Wood running backs Elijah Richards and Lane Overbaugh slide through huge gaps around the tackles and race free for long gains. “The first big run they had we

overran it. The other big run our backside guys did not pursue it as hard as they could of. And some of their passes we had some miscommunication on,” Porterfield said. “We’re frustrated with the defensive performance, but it’s OK, it shows us things we need to fix.” James Wood took a 7-0 lead on Zachary Smith’s 1-yard TD run, following a 76-yard burst by Richards. Although Sam Rodgers showed his speed in catching Richards from behind at the
KETTLE RUN’S NEXT GAME: Friday HOME vs. Liberty (1-3) 1, the subsequent TD represented Kettle Run’s first deficit this year. Kettle Run responded immediately as it would all night, only to see James Wood also score repeatedly. Quaker’s 14-yard TD run tied it at 7-7 after Andrew Curry’s extra point. James Wood went ahead 14-7 on 12yard TD pass from quarterback Jared Neal to Andrew Link, who was wide open across the middle. After an interception by Rodgers, the Cougars tied it at 14-14 on Quaker’s 4-yard TD burst midway through the second quarter. Tapscott soon entered the discussion in a huge way with a 78-yard catch and score. The star wideout, who now has eight TD catches for the year (and
10 total), was being double-teamed and had not been targeted. He lined up wide left as Chumley rolled to his right, waiting for Tapscott to cross. Tapscott caught the ball about 15 yards downfield with a defender chasing, then turned up the right sideline and was gone as the Cougars regained the lead at 21-14. “It was a great catch in traffic. When Jordan gets his shoulder turned up the sideline it’s difficult to stop him,” said Porterfield. James Wood had a cornerback on Tapscott at the line of scrimmage and shaded their safety Tapscott’s way once the ball was snapped. “Jordan was a little frustrated. When they take that away it opened up the middle of the field and Trey stepped up,” said Porterfield of Western’s big night. See KETTLE RUN, page 27

Handley bowls over Falcons, 38-0
Despite struggles, 4th place playoff spot still within reach By Peter Brewington

Aaron Lewis and the Falcons are hanging in there despite injuries and tough losses. A win over Millbrook (1-4) Thursday would provide a huge boost to their spirit and playoff chances.
The game was getting late, and Fauquier hadn’t scored. As Falcon speedster David Mayfield prepared to receive a punt near midfield in the final minute, a fan yelled, “Mayfield, take it to the house. Give us something. Take it back, David,” he said optimistically. Mayfield had a decent return, and the game was soon final, a 38-0 loss to Handley Saturday at the Handley Bowl in Winchester. Fauquier fell to 0-5 and looks to regroup Thursday at home against Millbrook (1-4) and end a losing streak that has hit 10. Handley (5-0) threw a potent mix of four running backs and various running plays at the Falcons, and hit some timely long passes for TDs. Fauquier turned to a new quarterback, senior receiver Shane Pifer, with starter Ben Noland sick, while

Fauquier fell behind 17-0 in the first quarter, tried to get back in the game, and did briefly by forcing two turnovers, but could never muster any sustained offense. Injuries and illness have kept some starters out and the Falcons have also struggled in the passing game. The Falcons were also without two-way standout Eli Bynaker. Mayfield is now injured, but Noland is expected back. “Ben was sick and thought he could fight through it. Shane was thrust in. It’s a tough spot but he was excited about it,” said coach Karl Buckwalter about starting Pifer. See FAUQUIER, page 28

FALCONS ‘SHOOT’ INTO FIRST PLACE, DOWNING MERIDIAN IN EXTRA SESSION
Timberlake, Camarca and Lasher goals give Fauquier clutch road win By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
Several key games are on tap this week for the county’s three Northwestern District field hockey teams. Fauquier is seeking to strengthen its newly earned hold on first place, while Liberty and Kettle Run hope to stay in the hunt for one of the two top spots. Kettle Run was at Fauquier Tuesday night, while second-place Meridian will meet Kettle Run and Liberty in the next five days. The Falcons recorded the most important decision of last week by dominating a shootout session at Meridian last Thursday, a 3-1 victory. The two squads entered tied for first place, each at 2-0. They battled through 60 scoreless minutes of regulation action and 20 minutes in a pair of 10-minute sudden-victory overtimes to force the shootout. “It was two evenly matched teams. a lot of back and forth,” said Fauquier coach Brooke Settle of the showdown. “We had opportunities. They had opportunities.” Settle felt the Falcons had the edge at the end of field play, saying her unit missed scoring chances to force the one-on-one situation.

Meridian won the coin flip to go first in the opening of the alternating five-round procedure. The Mustangs’ first shot went wide right to bring Falcon Brooklyn Maldonado’s turn. Maldonado started right before pulling left and causing the goalie to lose her footing. The Falcon sent a shot toward the open cage for an apparent goal, but the goalie recovered with a last-second diving save. Meridian scored on its second attempt, but Fauquier’s Jackie Timberlake made a move like Maldondo to establish a wide-open shot for a 1-1 tie. Fauquier senior goalkeeper Erin Irvin then stuffed Meridian’s third attacker, stopping an initial shot before smothering a rebound opportunity. Marissa Camarca then moved Fauquier into the lead for good by stutter-stepping to her right. The goalie attempted to strip the ball, but Camarca unleashed a shot under the dive into the far side of the cage. See FIELD HOCKEY, page 26

TD ‘was wild’ KETTLE RUN, from page 24 After intercepting a Chumley pass near midfield before halftime, the Colonels tried an ill-fated long bomb with just a few seconds left. The play went from Hail Mary to epic fail for the Colonels. Quarterback Neal’s lofted pass pinballed off two Cougar defenders, Jack Pechin and Western, before Quaker, who was a little deeper, corralled it near a pylon. Quaker paused and analyzed the field. With no time on the clock, Quaker ran towards the middle, before getting some blocks and shooting up the right sideline before getting hit inside the red zone. The ball came out with Tapscott picking it up and running the final 15 yards up the sideline for an improbable TD. “It was wild, crazy. Everyone on our sideline was going nuts,” said Porterfield. “I was looking all over the field to see if this was coming back. Sometimes on a play like that you get a hold or block in the back or late hit.” Porterfield said a James Wood player punched the ball free from Quaker before he hit the ground. “It was a lucky break to bounce to Jordan. He was trailing the play.” Down 28-14, James Wood answered back with a quick third quarter TD as Neal hit Link on a short pattern that turned into a 73-yard connection when Link split the linebackers and secondary to make it 28-21. Kettle Run drove 65 yards on eight runs with Chumley scoring on a 1-yard TD run and Andrew Curry’s extra point making it 35-21. Just as quickly, the Colonels were back in it as Overbaugh raced 70 yards for a TD a minute and a half later, making it 35-28. On the subsequent series Tapscott recorded his third TD of the night on a 52-yard TD catch as the Cougars regained their two-TD advantage at 42-28. Helped by a Mehaffey interception, the Cougars made it 48-28 on Quaker’s third TD run, a 3-yarder early in the fourth quarter. Western was wide open on a seam route up the middle and closed out the scoring with a 45-yard catch with 1:22 left for his first TD.
Cougars host Liberty Friday
Now the Cougars return home to face Liberty (1-3). The Eagles beat Kettle Run 40-29 in 2019, with Kettle Run prevailing the last two seasons. Last year’s game was tight for a while, before Kettle Run pulled away, 35-9. “Liberty is willing to throw it all over the place. They will test us in the pass game,” said Porterfield. Liberty, which leads the lifetime series 10-6, shook off an 0-3 start with a 40-13 win over Culpeper in its last game on Sept. 16. “Anytime you get county opponents it’s circled on the calendar,” said Porterfield. “They’re coming off a bye week. (Coach) Travis (Buzzo) will have his team prepared and ready to go.”
LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF RAPPAHANNOCK ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE'S APPLICATION FOR A STREAMLINED INCREASE IN RATES CASE NO.PUR-2022-00160 On October 31, 2022, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative ("REC" or "Cooperative") expects to file with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission'') an application requesting approval of a proposed increase in rates and charges for bills rendered on and after January 1, 2023, and approval of revised depreciation rates effective with the implementation of the proposed rates (''Application''). The Cooperative is filing the Application pursuant to§§ 56-231.33, 56-231.34, 56-235, 56-236, and 56-585.3 of the Code of Virginia and under 20 VAC 5-200-21(C) of the Commission's Rules Governing Streamlined Rate Proceedings and General Rate Proceedings for Electric Cooperatives Subject to the State Corporation Commission's Rate Jurisdiction ("Streamlined Rate Case Rules"). REC has continued to invest in its system and the requested revenue increase will allow it to recover the investments that it has already made and related operations and maintenance expenses. Additionally, the increase in revenues will permit the Cooperative to continue to meet its financial obligations and to provide high levels of reliability and customer service. Specifically, the proposed rates are designed to increase the Cooperative's revenues by approximately $14.95 million per year, an overall increase of total revenues for the Cooperative of 3.90%. Impacts on individual member bills may vary based on usage. Based on pro-forma year results, the proposed rates will produce a TIER (Times Interest Earned Ratio) of 2.50. The Cooperative proposes the following changes to the revenue produced by each of its rate schedules:
Class (Rate Schedule) Schedule A-1 Residential and Church Service Schedule A-2 Farm, Civic and Ancillary Resid. Schedule A-1 Prepaid Electric Service Schedule A-1 -TOU Time of Use Schedule B-1 Small General Service <25 kW Schedule B-3 Small General Service> 25kW Schedule LP-I -Large Power Service Schedule HD-I Large Power High Diversity Service Schedule LP-3 Large Power Subst Direct Service Schedule 74 County and Municipal Service Schedule OL Outdoor Lighting Total

*5.05% is the class percentage increase based on 2021 revenues-An individual member's increase will vary based on electricity usage and current power costs.
Under the proposed new rates, an average residential member using 1,347 kWh per month will see an increase of approximately $7.78 per month, which would be a 4.1% increase to the member's monthly bill based on the current Power Cost Adjustment rate. The Application does not propose any wholesale power cost riders be rolled-in to base rates. Additionally, the Cooperative is not proposing revisions to its rate structure as part of the Application. On September 21, 2022, the Cooperative's Board of Directors approved revisions to the Cooperative's line extension policy. These revisions will become effective with the implementation of the proposed rates and the Cooperative has included the revised Terms and Conditions reflecting the changes approved by its Board. The Cooperative intends to file the Application with the Commission on October 31, 2022. Any person subject to the change or changes proposed by REC has the right to request a hearing within 30 days of the Application's delivery to the Commission, or by November 30, 2022. Requests for hearing should be directed to the Clerk of the Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218. If the Commission receives objections from fewer than (i) 150 of the Cooperative's members; (ii) one-quarter of the members within a rate class that is the subject of a revision or increase; or (iii) all of the members within a rate class that is the subject of a revision or increase if the rate class contains 20 or fewer members, REC may petition the Commission to make rates permanent without hearing within 30 days after the Application is filed with the Commission. The Commission may convene a hearing to consider the Cooperatives Application, and if a hearing is held, the Commission may order rate relief, redesign rates or adopt tariff revisions which differ from those appearing in REC's Application. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals and may download unofficial copies from the Commission's website: https://www.scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information. Copies of the Cooperative's Application also may be inspected during regular business hours at each of the Cooperative's business offices in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

FAUQUIER, from page 24 “It’s high school sports. You’ve got to keep grinding and working. We hope to get some guys back and healthy and go from there. We’ve got a chance to win some games down the stretch and we’re in the playoffs,” said Buckwalter. Buckwalter is sticking to the upbeat message that the Falcons can still make the playoffs despite all the misfortune and somber results. He points out that four of the seven Northwestern District teams make the playoffs, meaning Fauquier has to finish at least fourth. “We’re fortunate right now that we’re in the only region that does not use power points. The top four go to playoffs. All we need to do is be one of the four. Right now we’re 0-1,” Buckwalter said. With Handley (5-0), Kettle Run (50) and Sherando (3-2) expected at the top of the district, that leaves Fauquier needing to beat out Liberty (1-3), James Wood (0-4) and Thursday’s opponent, Millbrook (1-4) for fourth. The Falcons downed Millbrook last year. Coming off two straight one-point losses to Culpeper (20-19) and Warren County (29-28 OT), the Falcons got no mercy from undefeated Handley, which has designs on challenging Kettle Run and Sherando for the district title. Handley drove 69 yards to open the game, using runs from Emerson Fusco, Reilynd Worrell and Hassan Akanbi to make it 7-0 on Akanbi’s 8-yard run with 9:18 remaining in the first quarter after Bryce Pollak’s extra point kick. Handley’s fourth capable running back, 130-pound speedster Aaron Lee, had a 26-yard run on Handley’s second possession, but the Falcons stiffened, holding the Judges to Pollak’s 32-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead. Pifer threw an interception on Fauquier’s first play on the ensuing possession, with Handley quickly converting on a well-executed trick play. Quarterback Davion Butler ran left, then threw a back pass to Fusco as the Falcons closed in. Fusco then launched a perfect pass to a wideopen Christian Metzger for a 46-yard
TD strike. The deception fooled the Falcon secondary as Metzger caught the ball at the FHS 20 and waltzed into the end zone for a 17-0 first quarter lead after Pollak’s kick. “It was a double pass. They barely got it off. We’re in the land of ifs right now,” said Buckwalter, lamenting Fauquier’s bad luck. “Our guys came out and stepped up. We had a bunch of Falcons sick, some now injured, we’re playing without starters and what not.” Needing to make something happen, the Falcons forced a fumble deep in Falcon territory to stop another Handley drive, then recovered another fumble at the Handley 34. But momentum ended when the drive failed, and the Falcons punted after reaching the Judges’ 31. Fauquier had a second chance deep in Handley territory thanks to Mayfield’s 40-yard kickoff return. Hamilton ran 14 yards to the 27, but the drive ended with a punt. Handley scored two more touchdowns to close the half. Lee completed 68-yard TD pass to Metzger on a third-and-10 to make it 24-0. Handley added its final score by going 88 yards in four plays, with Butler scrambling for 63 yards to the FHS 19. Two plays later Lee passed to Fusco, who lateraled to Metzger for another TD with 11 seconds before halftime, as the lead grew to 31-0. Handley scored on its first second half possession on Josiah Johnson’s 2-yard TD run as the mercy rule kicked in with 7:18 left in the third. Fauquier had five second half possessions, reaching the Handley 24 early in the fourth quarter, with several passes into the end zone falling incomplete. To beat Millbrook Thursday, the Falcons will rely on their top weapons, running backs Mason Hamilton and Aaron Lewis. “It’s a nice 1-2 punch,” Buckwalter said. “Lewis is a sophomore and Hamilton a junior, and Noland is a sophomore. Our offensive line has sophomores, juniors and freshmen. They’re growing up and there are ups and downs,” Buckwalter said. About Millbrook, Buckwalter said, “They’ve changed the offense. They used to run spread, now they’re in a single wing with a dynamic QB (Detric Brown). We’ve got to stop him.”

• Overall proficiency in English reading/writing, math and science, and progress of English learners toward English-language proficiency • English and math achievement gaps among student groups • Graduation and Completion Index • Dropout rate • Absenteeism Schools with one or more school-quality indicators at level three — below state standards— are accredited with conditions. Pearson Elementary School is fully accredited with conditions because it has a level-three designation in science for all students. The school is currently working with the Virginia Department of Education’s Office of School Improvement. “Expectations for accreditation are set by state leaders, and we don’t make those rules, but it is important that we understand the significance of meeting those expectations as they are outlined, as one of many steps in conveying to our community that our schools are of high qual-
ity and meeting the overall needs of students,” Deputy Superintendent Major Warner said. “We recognize coming out of this pandemic that while our student outcomes on the assessment side are trending back in the right direction, there is much work to be done in bringing all of our most vulnerable learners up to speed,” Warner continued. “We have to continue balancing the need for data to understand the gaps with supporting the emotional growth of our students and families, as we continue traveling the path back to full normalcy. This will take some time, but together we will get there.” The Virginia Department of Education provides online School Quality Profile reports for each school and school division at https://schoolquality.virginia.gov. These profiles contain detailed information on student achievement by subject and grade level. The profiles also provide data on other key indicators of school quality. Fauquier County’s alternative school does not receive its own accreditation rating.

She was beautiful and graceful. She was always thinking of others – very gregarious and humble.” Her most recent passion was being “GG” to her young grandchildren. She loved playing with them, reading to them, playing dress up, and teaching them about nature and animals.” Mrs. Mangano is survived by her brother, Ronald Erwin of Pall Mall, TN; daughter Christina Mangano Mackenzie (son-in-law Scott Mackenzie) of Arlington, VA; son Frank Antonio Mangano of Tampa, FL; and grandchildren Caroline, William and Penelope Mackenzie.

Mary Ellen Carder Moore Mary Ellen Carder Moore, 87, of Warrenton, died September 16, 2022, after a four-year battle with ALS. She was born July 29, 1935, to the late Susie Herringdon Carder and Thomas H. Carder of Washington, D.C. At age 3, she moved to the family’s Herringdon Farm at Halfway, between The Plains and Middleburg. A Girl Scout and “bookworm,” Miss Carder in 1952 graduated from Marshall High School, where she worked part-time in the library. She earned an associate’s degree from Strayer’s Business College in Washington. She then worked in teller and back office positions at The Fauquier National Bank in The Plains and Warrenton until 1972. Miss Carder married Foster R. Moore on July 10, 1965. Together, Mr. and Mrs. Moore built a new home just outside of Warrenton and raised two daughters. Mr. Moore died Aug. 2, 2001. Mrs. Moore was an accomplished seamstress; a member of the American Legion Post 247 Auxiliary in Remington; a longtime member, Sunday school teacher and Altar Guild member at Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains; a member of Christ Church (Anglican) in Warrenton; a member of Fauquier Springs Country Club, and a Fauquier Hospital Auxiliary member who volunteered more than 3,500 hours from 2001 to 2019, primarily in record-keeping.

OBITUARIES (Patricia) Carolyn Holman On Monday, September 19, 2022, (Patricia) Carolyn Holman lost her 19-month battle with Parkinson’s Disease. She was 78 years old. Carolyn was such a light in this world - a phrase often tossed around these days like so many other superlatives. However, Carolyn truly embodied this description. Her neverending kindness, compassion, and unconditional love could be felt firsthand by countless people. She bestowed these qualities without judgment, prejudice, or expected reciprocations. In addition, Carolyn exhibited unbridled gratitude, joy, and grace displaying these qualities even in her final days/hours as Parkinson’s was taking its final toll on her body. When she could no longer utter the words “thank you” she would grasp our hands in gratitude. When she could no longer grasp our hands, you could see gratitude in her eyes. And when her eyes closed in those final hours, we could physically feel her presence of gratitude, joy, grace, and love. Carolyn is preceded in death by her father and mother Harold and Mary Martin, her husband Dennis Holman, and her sister Joan Vice. She is survived by two sisters Sandra Miller and Terri Martin and her 3 children, Lisa Holman, Mark Holman [Kara], and Rebecca Holman. Carolyn is also survived by 4 grandchildren, Danielle, Angella [Jonathan], Brandon, and Nicholas, and one great-grandchild Kalani. Carolyn was born in Lexington, Kentucky and graduated from Henry Clay High School. After moving to Manassas, Virginia in 1981, Carolyn was initially employed at Willard Press for 10 years and then at Hecht’s Department Store/Macy’s in Customer Service, Cash Office, Pricing, and Personnel until she retired in 2009. Carolyn was a long time member of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Manassas, Virginia where she displayed a true servant’s heart by visiting those in need, working on donations for Samaritan’s Purse, and other outreach via her “Hope” Sunday school class. Carolyn had a passion for gardening, craft shows, music, TV game shows, and bargain lunches with her best friend June Reading. In early 2021, Carolyn moved to Arbor Terrace Senior Living in Manassas, Virginia. There she found a new family who cared for her like one of their own - becoming a mother, grandmother, or friend to the staff. In her final days on earth, she was blessed with the care and comfort of an amazing and compassionate team who ensured her every need was met until her last breath. Carolyn never had “just” friends, co-workers, fellow church members, caretakers, doctors, neighbors, etc. If your path crossed hers you became part of her family. Please join Carolyn’s VERY large family as we display gratitude for her life and now final peace and comfort as she dances in heaven. An open viewing was held from 3 - 5 pm on Sunday, September 25, 2022 at Pierce Funeral Home. A private funeral service was held for family and close friends from 1 - 2 pm on Monday, September 26, 2022 at Pierce Funeral Home.
Warren Hartley Ours Warren Hartley Ours, in all his seventy years of life, traveled in the opposite direction of funerals and funeral homes whenever given a pass to do so. With his daily attire of jeans and tee shirts, he honestly considered a suit and tie to be funeral clothes. According to Warren, he read the obituaries weekly just to be sure he wasn’t in them. Well Warren... Now You Are. If Warren was reading his obituary, written in his own words, he’d be reading something like this: “Not nearly am I as shocked to be in the obituaries than I am to have made it to 70! I had convinced myself I was an old man at 50! The years of laughter and memories with my family and friends (who all knew my quest for “quenching white water” didn’t pertain to river rafting!), the years of unconditional love from all my rescue dogs... who actually rescued me, and the continuous years of contemplating driving all my motor toys were by far the best medicine imaginable to me. Please know the gratitude from my heart.” “And...To whom it may concern: Please remember me with kindness and laughter, always remember to talk to our beloved dogs with nonstop silliness, don’t forget to give the deer and wild turkeys their favorite treats, keep battery tenders on cars and Harleys not driven regularly, check several times to be sure the doors are locked securely... then check a few more times, and don’t forget to set the alarm. Also... regardless of my request for the avoidance of a funeral service, no doubt, (to whom it may concern) you will have a Celebration Of My Life in the near future anyway!” “And...Please be sure the kindness of any memory contributions be given to Friends of Homeless Animal’s Medical Fund (FOHA.org) in Aldie Virginia.” Warren’s love of cars and motorcycles never truly reflected his heart, rather, they were a reflection of his personality. God knows his true heart. How GLORIOUS it must be for Warren to see God in the driver’s seat now and to see himself as merely riding shotgun. God Speed Warren. Warren, a longtime resident of Herndon and Leesburg Virginia, moved to Warrenton Virginia in 2019. He passed away on August 2nd, 2022 in his home in Warrenton. Warren is preceded in death by his father John Henry Ours, his mother Eloise Shealy Ours, and his brother Stephen Michael Ours. He leaves his wife Wanda Napier-Ours, daughter Wendy Shay Fox, son Martin Travis Fox, brothers John Winthrop Ours and Brian Ours, four grandchildren, three great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and cousins in South Carolina.

Richard Mark Cooley Richard Mark Cooley, 75, of Bristow, Virginia, passed away on September 22, 2022. He was born on July 19, 1947, in Putnam, Connecticut, to Francis and Rosalie (Ayers) Cooley. Rick, as he was known to his family and friends, left his small-town home in Connecticut to attend Providence College. While there, he met the love of his life, Rita Short, at a dance. After marrying Rita and serving his country in the U.S. Army, Rick moved his family to the D.C.-area and enjoyed a long career in the federal government, including at the Office of Personnel Management, Radio Martí, the United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home, and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. Following his retirement from federal service, Rick joined a government-contracting firm to continue providing humancapital and human-resources expertise to the government. Although Rick took pride in his military and civilian service, his family and friends will remember him foremost for his strong Catholic faith, his love of family, and his passion for coaching soccer. Rick was a parishioner of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Gainesville, Virginia. Previously, he was an active member of St. Andrew the Apostle’s Church in Clifton, Virginia, and St. Joseph’s Church in Herndon, Virginia, where, consistent with his life-long devotion to protecting the unborn, he helped to found the pro-life group. Rick did not keep his Catholic faith to himself, instead he shared it with his family and friends. Rick made many sacrifices to ensure his children were educated in the Catholic faith that he loved so much. He became a dedicated supporter of Seton School in Manassas, Virginia, enduring a long daily work commute to ensure his children received the Catholic education it offered, and serving on the Seton School Board of Directors for several years. He also delighted in seeing a significant number of his grandchildren attend Seton. Anyone who spoke to Rick for more than a few minutes heard him talk about his large family of six daughters and one son, which was so important to him. Although many people downsize in retirement, Rick moved to a substantially larger home so that the family (with an ever-increasing number of grandchildren) could comfortably gather together for holidays and other celebrations. Rick, who was a huge sports fan, drove innumerable miles, so that he could enjoy countless sporting events in which his children and grandchildren participated. Although Rick followed many sports and welcomed any opportunity to discuss or debate the qualities of particular athletes and teams, soccer occupied a special place in his heart. As his children began to play soccer, he became a student of the game and obtained his coaching license. During his nearly twenty-year coaching career, Rick coached all of his children and several travel soccer teams. The highlight of his coaching career was his time leading the girls’ varsity team at Seton School, where he received numerous accolades and repeatedly led his team to conference championships. Although he liked to win, it was more important to Coach Cooley that he taught his players to love the game and to develop habits for success that would benefit them well beyond the pitch. He is survived by his loving wife of fifty-three years, Rita Mary Cooley; his children: Martha, Melissa (Robert), Jason (Jean), Michaela (Joseph), Shannon (Anthony), Deirdre (Kody), and Bridgit (Zachary); his forty-two grandchildren; his two greatgrandchildren; and his brothers: Herbert and Craig Cooley. Richard is preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, and his grandson Bosco Joseph Paul Cooper. A viewing was held for Richard from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at Pierce Funeral Home (9609 Center Street, Manassas, Virginia 20110), with the Rosary starting at 6:00 PM. Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church (8213 Linton Hall Road, Gainesville, Virginia, 20155). Burial will follow immediately after Mass at 12:00 PM at Stonewall Memory Gardens (12004 Lee Highway, Manassas, Virginia 20109). In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations in loving memory of Richard Mark Cooley to Texas Alliance for Life , 8000 Centre Park Dr., Suite 380, Austin, Texas 78754 or Seton School , 9314 Maple St., Manassas, Virginia 20110-5118

UNIQUE IDEAS TO MEMORIALIZE A LOVED ONE Commemorating a loved one comes in many shapes and forms. You may wish to display items such as photos, letters, or certificates of achievement at the funeral, reception, or in your home, or build a shrine out of items that were dear to them. Some bereaved people have turned the deceased’s favorite clothing into items such as pillows and quilts that can bring joyful memories every day. Many people find comfort by planting trees or entire gardens to memorialize a loved one. Another special way to honor someone is by supporting causes or doing random acts of kindness in their name. Try donating to an organization or nonprofit they were passionate about, adopting a highway, or organizing a fundraiser. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we encourage families to create personalized services. It is important to acknowledge that life that has been lived and to offer to the community a way in which to celebrate that life. By offering services and memorialization features that are personal and special, a unique life can be remembered and honored in an individualized way that is comforting to the family and friends. To learn more about our services, please call at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton.

Legal Notices TOWN OF WARRENTON NOTICE OF TOWN COUNCIL MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Warrenton will hold their Regular Monthly Meeting on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at 6:30 PM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia. Town Council will hold a Public Hearing on the following items: An Applicant Initiated Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (ZOTA 2022-1) to Increase Permitted Density in the Central Business District from TwentyFive (25) Units Per Acre to Fifty (50) Units Per Acre on Parcels Less Than 1⁄2 Acre and to Update the Fee Schedule. This Zoning Text Amendment is to amend Articles 3, 7 and 9 as they relate to the Central Business District (CBD) permitted apartment density. In addition, a revision to the existing fee schedule is proposed. The proposal is to amend Zoning Ordinance Article 3 Zoning Districts and Map, subsection 3-4.11.6 Use Limitations within the CBD, Article 7 Off-Street Parking and Loading and Article 9-4, Apartment Buildings Special Regulations. The proposed amendment to Article 3 would allow for an increased apartment density up to 50 dwelling units per acre within the CBD on parcels less than one-half acre. The CBD currently allows for up to 25 apartment units per acre by right. Possible changes to Article 7 include requirements for on-site parking and fees in lieu of parking. The proposed amendment to Article 9 would require that any rehabilitation of a building for apartment density within the CBD would have an exterior design that is compatible with the Historic District. The amendment would apply to all parcels within the CBD. The Fee schedule is updated to change the Fee In-Lieu of Parking (Residential CBD Only) to $3,605 per space. Applicant is Malcolm Alls. Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) 2021-01/Special Use Permit (SUP) 2021-01 Harris Teeter Fuel Station – the applicant, Harris Teeter, and owner, North Rock LLC, seeks to amend the North Rock Planned Unit Development zoning district (ZMA 1998-02) and SUP approval for an eight (8) pump fuel station. The existing PUD was granted in 1999 and proffered that the site would be developed per the Master Development Plan and ties all permitted/permissible uses to those listed under the 1991 Zoning Ordinance PUD District. The 1991 Zoning Ordinance allowed all uses in the Commercial Limited (CL) District within the PUD District upon issuance of a Special Use Permit, which includes fuel stations. The subject parcel (GPIN 6984-38-9605) is located at 530 Fletcher Drive, zoned PUD, and is approximately 11.68 acres. Special Use Permit (SUP) 2022-04 Oak View Bank Drive-Thru – the applicant, DHR Engineers PLC, and owner, Oak View National Bank, are requesting, per Article 3-4.10.3 Permissible Uses by Special Use Permit, to allow for a two-lane drive-thru for a by-right bank. The property is zoned Commercial, and the Comprehensive Plan identified the property as Health and Wellness Mixed-Use on the Future Land Use Map. The subject parcel (GPIN 6984-04-7890-000) is a vacant parcel located on the corner of Waterloo Street and Garrett Street and is approximately +/- 1.2378 acres. People having an interest in the above are invited to participate in the hearing and state their opinion regarding the above issues. The public may also choose to submit written comments through the Town’s website or by emailing citizencomment@warrentonva.gov during the public comment period, which will end at noon the day of the Public Hearing, October 11, 2022. Copies of the ordinance, the zoning text amendment application, the proposed fee scheduled update, the zoning map amendment application, and the special use permit applications are available for review at Town Hall located at 21 Main Street, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
