The PATH Foundation buys Alwyngton Manor

Alwyngton Manor, a circa 1855 home just off Falmouth Street in Warrenton, was purchased by the PATH Foundation.

The owner of Warrenton’s historic Alwyngton Manor has announced itself, and the news is likely to come as a surprise to many residents. The 168-year-old home long used as an event venue is now property of the nonprofit PATH Foundation.

The organization quietly shared the news in a Monday, Oct. 9 Facebook post.

“Some speculation has been happening as to who bought Alwyngton Manor – well, it was us!”

PATH wrote in the post.

PATH purchased the 11-bedroom home and surrounding 5.2 acres for $1.65 million. The main draw of the property was its central Warrenton location, said Amy Petty, the PATH Foundation’s vice president of communications.

Chef William Osorio prepares meals while mentoring inmates

By Alissa Jones

Special to the Fauquier Times

William Osorio didn’t think he was on a path to follow his father into food service. And he certainly didn’t imagine cooking for inmates at a jail.

He was headed, he thought, for a career in network engineering.

But along the way there were hints throughout his early life that cooking would become more than a hobby.

His father, Emilio, who had served in the Salvadorian military, wrote the first chapter when he worked as a chef in hospitals and high-end restaurants.

William Osorio was 13 when his family arrived in Virginia. As impressionable as any American teen, he would often accompany his father to work. He says it ignited his

“We’re regularly interacting with our nonprofit community and advisory committees, but we’ve had no discussions yet” about the future of Alwyngton Manor, Petty said.

“It’s exciting, but we have so many things going on,” she added. “There’s not been any forward movement at this time.”

The nature of the sale—originally via auction —did not allow much time for decision-making.

PATH has conducted a “phase 1 environmental study” of the property, Petty said. Such an assessment typically looks at whether historical uses of

“In recalling those early days in my father’s kitchen, I realized the missing ingredient in pursuing a career was passion,” Osorio said.

“My father loved what he did, and it showed.”

Residents in Fauquier and Prince William counties were surprised this week when they received flyers falsely threatening that they could lose their Social Security income, bank accounts and even their child custody rights if they did not vote in the upcoming Nov. 7 election.

The flyers were reported to the offices of elections in both counties.

Prince William County General Registrar Eric Olsen said he contacted Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth and the Virginia Department of Elections for possible investigations.

“I contacted the commonwealth’s attorney because the egregiousness of the message was pretty absurd,” Olsen said in an interview with the Fauquier Times on Thursday.

“The information (on the flyers) was completely off-base and would make people very concerned about their rights on multiple levels.”

These false and threatening doorhangers were found on homes in Fauquier County.

Ashworth confirmed in an email that her office “did receive a photograph of the flyer from the registrar and … we are looking into it.”

FALL FESTIVAL FUN

Despite the day’s rainy and chilly start, thousands flocked to the 44th annual Fall Festival in Warrenton. The daylong festival, sponsored by the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce, featured local businesses, nonprofits and vendors offering everything from handmade jewelry to quilts, dog collars, candles and furniture.

RIGHT: Warrenton Police Officer Rachel Shockey greets Mary Grambo while holding a Mexican black king snake.

Cooking, teaching at the Fauquier jail CHEF, from page 1 His family story reads like the script for a movie entitled “Living the American Dream.”

The Osorio family traveled from El Salvador, one of the smallest and most densely populated countries in Central America and arrived in Virginia in 1993. Through an unflagging entrepreneurial spirit, work ethic and the ability to seize opportunities, Emilio and Magdalena Osorio stamped their four kids, including William, with the same set of values, William Osorio said.

After high school graduation, William Osorio took an extended trip to Italy and added a third language—Italian—to his fluent English and Spanish. He also developed a natural interest in Italian cooking. When he got home, he earned a degree in network engineering from East Coast Polytechnic Institute but found himself drawn back into the kitchen.

He changed course, studied through the ServSafe program to become a certified dietary manager and got his first job as an assistant to the director of food services at a hospital in Fairfax.

“I have always had a heart for helping and serving people and know patients look forward to their meals,” Osorio said.

After leaving the hospital, he worked in nursing facilities and then spent five years as food service director at the Loudoun County Detention Center. There, Osorio learned about food prep on a large scale; he

served 1,400 meals a day to more than 500 inmates.

In June, he signed on as food service manager at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center.

In Warrenton, Osorio is able to walk it back, putting a more personal touch into the inmates’ daily meals because it is a smaller facility. Each meal is carefully planned and artfully prepared to include an array of proteins, vegetables, a starch side and dessert.

“William’s previous experience in the correctional environment allowed him to hit the ground running (at Warrenton) and without any additional training take on the management role,” said Jason Anns of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Because of that, Osorio is also able to share his passion and knowledge through an innovative training program. He oversees and trains prisoners, called “trustees,” in food prep, maintenance, cooking and cleaning. More than that, he teaches the science behind the recipes and shares a lifetime of learning, so they build skills for their future.

“There’s a mutual respect between the trustees and I in the kitchen,” Osorio said. “We have fun cooking together.”

“Trustees working in the kitchen are credited ‘good time’ which can lead to a reduced sentence,” said Lt. Jay Johnson, of the sheriff’s office.

They, too, can take advantage of the ServSafe certification program to pursue a food career upon release, he added.

“William has been a great mentor helping us understand the basic principles of cooking and continue learning new experiences that will help me in the future,” one trustee said.

Building skills behind bars

Virginia has one of the lower recidivism rates in the U.S., something partly attributed to programs within the jails and prisons that provide training, such as helping to prepare meals.

“We strive to support the low number of reoffenders incarcerated in Fauquier County,” said Jeffrey Long, a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman. “Our staff works tirelessly to support several programs which benefit the inmates’ health, spiritual, educational, familial and employment opportunities. We believe (these) contribute to better opportunities in life after release.”

Recidivism is the term for returning to criminal behavior after release from incarceration.

Josh Bowers, a University of Virginia law professor, says providing inmates with opportunities also instills a hope for a different kind of life, which is key.

“Individuals are separated from their families, support networks, education and employment opportunities,” Bowers notes. “While incarcerated, they are exposed to negative influences and held in sometimes isolating conditions.”

Upon release, many inmates can find themselves unprepared to find jobs and reintegrate into society.

“The best way to minimize re-offending is to treat incarcerated individuals by ... providing opportunities to work and develop useful skills and access to rehabilitative services,” he said.

“Treating offenders this way … promotes public safety and order, benefits that all of us desire.”

Youngkin urges GOP crowd to vote early, absentee for fall election Despite past Republican concerns about absentee voting and fraud, the governor is all in

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD

Gov. Glenn Youngkin appeared Saturday afternoon before a crowd of at least 300 at the Electric Palm restaurant in Woodbridge and was joined onstage by Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, who is running for chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.

Despite previous Republican concerns about early voting being prone to fraud, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears urged a crowd of at least 300 in Woodbridge Saturday afternoon to vote absentee or early to secure GOP victories in the state legislature this fall.

Youngkin, 56, brought his “Secure the Vote” tour to the Electric Palm restaurant on the shores of the Occoquan River for a rally aimed at encouraging a party that had long been wary of both absentee voting and Virginia’s 45-day early voting period—among the longest in the U.S.—to now embrace it.

Sears, 59, brought her absentee ballot and held it up before the crowd, saying: “Folks, you are looking at power!”

All 140 seats in the Virginia General Assembly are up for reelection on Nov. 7, and Republicans are striving to maintain their majority in the House of Delegates and flip the state Senate to Republican control. Democrats have a four-seat majority in the upper chamber.

Sears noted that since Democrats have embraced early and absentee voting in large numbers since the COVID-19 pandemic, their party has dominated in those votes—even in special elections where turnout is generally very low.

Sears said that was likely because once voters sign up for an absentee See RALLY, page 6

Why are Fauquier schools’ scores on state history tests so low? It’s complicated.

Students do better on local tests—given instead of state tests—officials say

By Anya Sczerzenie

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County schools appeared to post some of the lowest student passing rates in Virginia on last year’s state tests in history and social studies. But those scores tell only part of the story. Overall, far more students passed a required history test, just not the test most Virginia students took.

Fauquier students did much better on state-approved local tests in history and social studies classes, which the school division added in 2021 with a goal of providing a more meaningful and comprehensive measure of student learning.

Fauquier County schools began substituting local tests for Virginia’s “Standards of Learning” tests in history in social studies in 2021, after the school division was named a “School District of Innovation.”

The national program allows school divisions to make and administer their own tests instead of using the state’s multiple-choice tests. Virginia school divisions can give local tests in history and social studies, but not science, math or reading because those tests are used to assess schools’ accreditation status.

In Fauquier County, the local history and social studies tests include essay questions using primary source

History SOL pass rates Most Fauquier County students took and passed locally generated history and social studies tests that the school division gives instead of the state’s history and social studies “Standard of Learning” tests. Students who do not pass the local tests can take the state SOLs. The percentages of students at each high school who passed the state test after failing the local tests are listed below.

documents, online mapping exercises and other, more open-ended activities instead of multiple-choice questions, according to David Kuzma, the school division’s supervisor for history and social studies. “[The performance assessment] provides students an opportunity to showcase their knowledge in different ways,” Kuzma said. “A lot of our performance assessments incorporate technology and allow students real-world applications to use historical content and prove their knowledge. In most cases, teachers will tell me that their students enjoy these more than a standardized test.”

Depending on the grade level, there are three or four parts to the local tests, which are spaced throughout the year.

Students must pass three out of four to opt out of the state SOL tests.

Fauquier County students’ passing rates on the local history and social studies tests were high compared to the school division’s passing rates on the state’s tests. More than 80% of the students passed the local tests overall, Kuzma said.

In World History 2, a high school class, all 90 students who took the local assessment passed. In World History 1, the class after which most Virginia high school students take their high school history SOL, 879 of 946 students—or 93%—passed the local assessment, Kuzma said.

According to Kuzma and Fauquier County Schools Deputy Superintendent Meaghan Brill, only

students who performed poorly on the local tests were required to take the state tests, meaning that only a “small minority” of lower-performing students took the SOLs. (The exact numbers of students who took the SOL tests at each school was not immediately available.)

Such students are given the state tests because Virginia requires one “verified credit” in a high school-level history or social studies test to graduate. Students who fail the local assessment are given the appropriate SOL as an opportunity to earn that verified credit. Because students must pass only one end-of-year history test before graduating, students typically have several attempts to pass one of the state’s high school history tests.

Brill said that she is not concerned about how Fauquier County schools’ passing rates on the state history tests look to the community because Fauquier County parents have been informed about local tests and their students’ scores on them.

“Anybody can deduct from those figures that if a majority of the kids (who took the SOL) did not perform successfully on the performance assessment, then there’s a likelihood that they may not perform as well on an SOL test,” said Les Balgavy, the school district’s testing supervisor.

Brill said the school division plans to continue giving local history tests as long as the Virginia education officials allow them.

False election flyers came from group that backed Jan. 6 defendants FLYERS, from page 1 In Prince William County, doorhangers appeared at homes in Bristow reading: “WARNING from Virginia Voter Assistance.” They falsely state that failure to vote may result in the loss of Social Security income, Medicare eligibility, unemployment benefits, child tax credits, child custody rights and concealed carry permits.

Further, they make the bogus claim that “failure to vote may also result in the seizure of personal assets, including but not limited to firearms, bank accounts, cars and real estate.”

The flyers say they are distributed by “Virginia Voter Assistance” and that the group “does not support or oppose candidates for public office.”

“Virginia Voter Assistance” is a “special project” of Look Ahead America, a conservative political nonprofit founded in 2017 by Matt Braynard, the former director of data and strategy for the Trump presidential campaign, according to its website.

Based in Washington, D.C., the group’s mission is to serve “millions of rural and blue-collar patriotic Americans who are disaffected and disenfranchised from the nation’s corridors of power.”

In the last few years, the group’s main objectives have been advocating for those arrested for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, calling them “political prisoners” and supporting them with rallies, candlelight vigils and an effort called “Jobs for #J6,” according to its website.

Most recently, Look Ahead America shifted its

attention to the upcoming Virginia elections as a dry run for the 2024 presidential election.

“This is bigger than the 2023 state elections in Virginia,” Braynard said in an Aug. 31 email to supporters posted on the Look Ahead America website. “If we can prove our method of turning out patriotic voters using a 501(c)(3) with high-pressure tactics works here, then we will open the door to resources that will allow us to do it nationwide in the presidential election in 2024.”

In Fauquier County, a voter received a near identical flyer including the same election disinformation in the mail, according to Diana Dutton, chief deputy registrar in the Fauquier County office of the general registrar.

The voter who received the flyer hand-delivered it to the Fauquier County general registrar on the day it was received, Dutton said.

“It was the first one I had seen,” Dutton said.

“The information contained on the flyer is very misleading and disingenuous.”

Look Ahead America issued a statement Friday denying any attempt to mislead voters and saying their flyers are meant to suggest that voters could lose their rights by not expressing their choice at the ballot box.

“Failure to vote may result in a loss of any number of rights and benefits. If anything, our flyer undersells the danger of not voting because while we say that these benefits ‘may’ be lost, the loss of several of them is nearly inevitable without urgent engagement from voters at the ballot box,” the statement said.

The statement also said the organization does not support any particular candidates or ideologies, adding: “We are committed community organizers serving an underrepresented class, disaffected patriotic Americans of rural and blue-collar backgrounds.”

After the Prince William County Office of Election received multiple complaints from residents about the flyers, Olsen immediately warned voters on social media that the information on the flyers is false.

Calling the flyers “very irresponsible,” Olsen said he acted fast because he wanted to make as many voters aware of the false information as possible since early voting is already underway.

“Your rights/benefits are NOT dependent on your voting history,” Olsen wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “While we do encourage you to vote, your assets will not be seized if you do not.”

Olsen said that while most voters would read the flyers and mailers and understand that they contain intentionally false disinformation and scare tactics, certain populations such as the elderly and those who may not understand English well are most at risk.

Olsen said he doesn’t know how many flyers have been distributed.

“If there’s something that needs to be shut down here, we want to do that before it continues,” Olsen said. “I don’t know if they’ve just passed out 200 flyers, or (if) they have thousands more to go.”

Youngkin urges GOP crowd to vote early, absentee for fall election RALLY, from page 3 ballot, they continue to get them for all elections, including special elections.

“I signed up for an absentee ballot. Why? Because I believe in the process, and that’s how they’re winning!” Sears shouted. “Because they don’t have to go anywhere. Their ballots are sitting on the kitchen table!”

Youngkin launched his “Secure Your Vote Virginia” effort last July. It features a web portal with step-by-step instructions guiding voters to sign up for absentee ballots.

Using the word “secure,” Youngkin managed to turn a widespread fear among Republican voters—that the early and absentee voting process is prone to fraud— into a positive.

After Youngkin launched the effort last summer, Democrats cried foul, calling it hypocritical.

Between 2019 and 2021, when Democrats controlled all three branches of Virginia government, state lawmakers extended early voting to 45 days, allowed “no excuse” absentee voting for the first time and added drop boxes for absentee ballots to early voting locations.

During the legislative session earlier this year, the Republican-controlled House of Delegates passed bills that would have eliminated drop boxes and shortened early voting to two weeks. Both bills were killed by the Democratic-controlled state Senate.

Leading up to the June 20 primary, some local Republican candidates called for “tightening” Virginia’s voting laws, including shortening the early voting period and getting rid of drop boxes.

During a June candidate forum, John Stirrup, the Republican nominee for the 21st District House of Delegates seat, called 45 days of early voting “frankly ridiculous.”

500,000 Republican voters who cast ballots in 2021 did not vote in 2022, and that the party sought to find and encourage those voters to head to the polls.

When Youngkin was elected in 2021, Virginia’s voter turnout was 54.9%. In the 2022 congressional election, it was 49%. Typically, voter turnout is even lower in years like this one, often called “off, off year elections” because no statewide or national races are on the ballot. In 2019, the last such year, turnout was 42.4%. But even that was higher than usual. In 2015, turnout was only 29%.

Brian Penn, a spokesman for the Prince William County Republican Committee, said he believes Prince William County Republicans are now embracing early voting in record numbers.

Penn pointed to a 75% increase in early votes cast during the first day of early voting on Sept. 22, according to the Prince William County Office of Elections.

“We know the work we have already done to get the voters out, and it stands to reason that any increase would be Republican voters,” Penn said.

“The governor has made it his emphasis, and we have been passing it along on the local level.”

Youngkin had the crowd chanting “Hold the House and flip the Senate!” during the rally and stressed the message Virginia would send if it went from an all-Democratic state government to an all-Republican one in just two years.

Youngkin is said to be considering a run for U.S. president, and such an achievement would raise his standing on the national stage.

“We can demonstrate that in 24 short months that a state that was lost can be found,” Youngkin said. “No one believed it (would happen), and now everyone can believe it. We have to show them that we can take charge, and we can win.”

The PATH Foundation buys Alwyngton Manor MANOR, from page 1 a property affected the surrounding soil or groundwater and if they pose any environmental hazards.

“We did do a walk-through of the property, which identified a lot of structural problems,” Petty added.

“But the auction made it a very tight turnaround, so no plans or timelines have been established.”

In August, the PATH Foundation sold Twin Oaks, an eight-bedroom, nine-bath home it purchased in 2019 for a residential addiction recovery facility run by former professional basketball player Chris Herren. The PATH Foundation purchased the home for $1.9 million and sold it for $2.64 million.

Herren operated the facility from 2020 to October 2022, when it quietly closed. Herren and the PATH Foundation declined to say specifically why the facility closed other than that Herren decided to shift his focus to his home addiction-recovery facility in Seekonk, Massachusetts.

Petty said the purchase of Alwyngton Manor is in no way tied to the sale of Twin Oaks.

Located just off Falmouth Avenue between downtown Warrenton and Shirley Avenue, Alwyngton Manor measures a stately 10,098 square feet and features four ballrooms, two commercial-grade kitchens on the first floor and additional full kitchens on the second and third floors, among other amenities.

While the origins of the property

are murky, Alwyngton Manor undoubtedly carries a storied history.

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

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

The elder Nabokov had served as part of the Russian delegation to the 1905 Treaty of Portsmouth, brokered by President Theodore Roosevelt, which ended the Russo-Japanese War. It was after signing this treaty that Nabokov first came to Alwyngton with Nesbit.

The last owner to live at Alwyngton was Edward J. Buell Sr., former president and CEO of the Niagara Wire Weaving Company of Canada.

After his passing in 1989, the estate became an event venue.

Elections matter, and the future of Fauquier County is up to us

By Kevin Ramundo This year is proving to be a pivotal one in Fauquier County for everyone who cares about being able to walk down a quiet gravel road, visit one of our historic villages, shop at a local farmers market and enjoy the pastoral vistas that surround us. The development threats facing us, especially those involving data centers, are unprecedented. Important local elections right around the corner could be key to the county’s future.

Fauquier is unique in Northern Virginia as it remains a largely rural county. For decades, through strong land-use policy and conservation-oriented elected leaders, Fauquier has deflected the intense development that our neighboring counties to the north and east have experienced.

I was reminded of this when I recently saw aerial photos of Brambleton and surrounding areas in Loudoun County that were taken just 20 years ago. Even then, much of Loudoun was open farmland con-

Kevin Ramundo

necting numerous charming towns and villages. If you didn’t know better, you might think the picture was taken in Fauquier in 2023.

A more recent aerial photo of Brambleton tells a very different story. Brambleton has become a tangle of single-family homes, townhouses, strip malls and congested roads that can’t keep up with the traffic. And Sterling to the east of Brambleton, at one time the most productive farmland in northern Virginia, has become data center alley with millions of square feet of data centers just humming away.

Not to be outdone, Prince William County is now embarking on a huge expansion of data centers

within its borders and next to ours.

The county’s “rural crescent,” an area of thousands of formerly protected acres, could soon be home to 26.7 million square feet of data centers spread across 28 to 34 buildings adjacent to the historic Manassas battlefield. The growth of this industry is out of control.

Now Fauquier is in the industry’s crosshairs. Three data centers are already operating here, with more being proposed. Fortunately, the county has fairly restrictive data center zoning, but rezoning requests to open more areas of the county to data centers are already being proposed.

Like other elected leaders in Loudoun and Prince William, officials here could be tempted to relax zoning restrictions lured by promises of huge property tax revenues. We all know what happened in Warrenton when its town council approved Amazon’s plan to build a data center there despite near unanimous public opposition.

And it’s not just more and more

data center proposals. Fauquier could soon be crisscrossed by many miles of new high-voltage power transmission lines in its most beautiful areas to provide the unimaginable amounts of electricity data centers in northern Virginia require.

The future of Fauquier’s rural traditions, open space and agriculture could be influenced by this November’s elections. All five seats on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors and a Warrenton Town Council seat are up for grabs. And since county supervisors and town council members make the land use decisions, future changes could be set in motion in less than a month.

The question we all must answer is simple: Do we want to protect and preserve our open space for future generations to enjoy, or will it become a memory like Brambleton?

Elections matter; so, cast your votes thoughtfully.

Kevin Ramundo is president of Citizens for Fauquier County and serves on the board of Land Trust of Virginia.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We are Republicans and we are endorsing independent Mike Focazio We are writing as lifelong Republicans. Some of us have served in public or a party office. We are endorsing the independent candidate –Mike Focazio—for the Marshall District seat on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors.

We believe that the election of Supervisors should not be a matter of party label or polarized national politics, but instead that all of us should evaluate the candidates for local office on a non-partisan basis and vote for the person who is best qualified and will do the best job for us over the next four years. In Marshall District this year, the person with the most experience and the most concern for our county is Mike Focazio.

Mike has lived in Fauquier for over 24 years. His advanced degrees in hydrology led to his service on the Board of Directors for the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority commencing in 2010. Mike recently retired from a 33-year career with the United States Geological Survey where he managed a national research program in environmental health science. Mike understands that the proliferation of data centers and the rapid changes in quality of life in neighboring counties are constant sources of concern for all of us. With smart planning, community involvement and government transparency, we will address those concerns, and Marshall

will thrive as a small town surrounded by rural lands.

Mike has endorsements from Fauquier Conservation Voters, Protect Fauquier and the Greater Piedmont Realtors, a diverse group of some of the most influential community groups in our county.

With personal endorsements from all three previous Marshall District supervisors, as well as the two previous planning commissioners, Mike has the support and confidence of a deep bench of mentors and advisors spanning several decades of service to the county and the Marshall District.

For as long as we can remember, the supervisor for Marshall District has run and won as an independent candidate not beholden to any party committee or ideology. They have all been smart, skilled citizens grounded in the day-to-day concerns of their neighbors—taxes, agriculture, land use, schools, water and quality of life.

Mike Focazio will continue this tradition of excellence and hard work on the board—and all of us, regardless of party, will benefit from his election on Nov. 7.

Letters to the Editor

Here’s why I’m voting for Eric Gagnon for Warrenton Town Council In the contest between Karen Lavarnway and Eric Gagnon for the Ward 5 seat on the Warrenton Town Council, I think that hard work and details matter—a lot.

Here are a few reasons that I want Eric for the job.

Karen seems nice, but her positions seem superficial. The nice platitudes are there—but not the meat, not the depth of research and thought we are seeing in Eric Gagnon‘s newsletters to Ward 5

residents. Eric is doing the work, is providing detailed positions, is backing it up with data and facts.

Although not yet elected to the position, Eric is already acting as I want my councilman to. He is researching every issue that has an impact on Ward 5 residents; he is visiting Ward 5 neighborhoods and talking with the neighbors; and he is publishing a multi-page Ward 5 newsletter in which he communicates to us what his research reveals

and what Ward 5 residents are saying about issues. Eric tells us what he will do as our representative. He tells us how and why he will take actions.

If elected, Eric will keep open lines of communication between himself and neighborhoods within Ward 5 so that no town business is done without citizen knowledge and input.

I like that! I think we need that.

A chance to show Remington some love Towns’s annual fall festival is Saturday, Oct. 14

By Sondra Anzalone

Special to the Fauquier Times

Remington’s 41st annual Fall Festival will be held on Main Street Saturday, Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The small river town’s festival will feature six hours of live entertainment and nearly 100 vendors for shopping and food.

“Each year, we have a completely unique selection of vendors with offerings such as crafts, baked goods and local businesses,” said Earl Arrington, a festival committee member.

Officer Chip Burgoon will kick off the live entertainment with the National Anthem at 9 a.m. Other musical guests include Curt & Rob Acoustic Duo at noon and the Virginia Rain Bluegrass Band at 2 p.m.

Additional performances include dance shows and fitness demonstrations from local organizations.

Treats from local food vendors include Auntie Alice’s Kettle Corn, Moo Thru ice cream, Blue

Ridge BBQ, funnel cakes and more. Come early for a communal breakfast at Remington Baptist Church from 7 to 10:30 a.m. An array of items, such as biscuits and gravy, fried apples, eggs and bacon will be provided for free; no registration required. Donations are welcome.

While you’re at the festival, pose with the pig in front of Remington Town Hall and post your pic to their Facebook page (#posewiththepig) for a chance to win a prize.

The family-friendly event draws people from all over Fauquier County.

“If it doesn’t rain, Main Street will be full of people pretty much all day,” said Arrington. It’s a nice change since “we’re the forgotten spot of Fauquier County—we don’t get a lot of love.”

The festival affords an opportunity to not only remind others about the town but to also serve others, explained Arrington. Proceeds from sponsors and vendor fees are used for helping the community in various ways, including sponsoring families COURTESY PHOTO at Christmas.

Admission is free. Visit https://remingtonfall- “Pose with the pig” at the Remington Fall Festival and post it to their Facebook page. festival.com/ for more information.

With two weeks left, Kettle Run, Fauquier volleyball in tight battle

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Entering the home stretch in the Class 3 Northwestern District volleyball race, first place Warren County seems uncatchable at 14-1 and 9-0 in league play.

But there is drama, competition and excitement for second place between county rivals Kettle Run and Fauquier, who both have formidable squads that are very even.

Entering the week, Fauquier is 8-5 and 5-2 in district play, with Kettle Run an almost identical 9-5 and 6-2.

The Falcons have dropped some matches to strong teams lately, but coach Kiki Scott is confident. With five of the Falcons’ final seven games against district opponents, Scott sees her girls making a major move.

“I think we are prepared for the rest of the season. The girls are eager to get out there and show what they can do. Most of our lineup is seniors, and I think they’re ready to go out strong and finish strong,” said Scott.

There is no district tournament so region brackets will be determined on won-loss record.

The Falcons beat the Cougars 20-25, 25-13, 25-22, 20-25, 15-12 on Aug. 28. The rematch is Oct. 26 at Fauquier in the final game of the season.

“Our senior night is against Kettle Run, which I know is going to be a battle for them and they are super

excited,” said Scott.

Fauquier had a strong September, sweeping four out of five opponents to end the month.

They swept Brentsville on Sept.

12 then fell to Warren County 27-25, 12-25, 23-25, 22-25 on Sept. 14 before ending the month with sweeps over Liberty on Sept. 19, Meridian on Sept. 26 and Handley on Sept. 28.

Scott said the play of setter Marcela Lawhorn, outside hitter Leah Kelso, middle hitters Audrey Hall and Neema Kamunya and libero Brooke Shifflett led the way throughout September.

“We were running our offense very smoothly, running a ton of different plays. And we had a lot of consistency on defense with our defenders being agile on the court and being able to read a little bit better and getting those balls up that we’ve been practicing,” Scott said.

She said the Falcons rallied around the passing of principal Kraig Kelican.

“The girls drew together even more to get through it. And a lot of those games we played in dedication to him. All the girls wrote on their shoes ‘Play for K,’” said Scott.

“We’ve always played for our school, but now we play even more for him, which is very important to our girls and very important to me.”

October hasn’t been as kind as losses to Class 4 powers Millbrook on Oct.

At 8-5 and 5-2 in league play, Leah Kelso and the Fauquier Falcons look to chase down Kettle Run (9-5, 6-2) for second in the Northwestern District standings.

3 and Sherando on Oct. 5 have grounded the Falcons. Fauquier travels to defending Class 4 state champion James Wood on Tuesday then district-leading Warren County on Wednesday before ending the season with four of

their last five at home.

“The biggest thing I want these girls to do is have fun and be able to play like they know how to play and give it their all on the court at all times,” said Scott.

New QB Green sparks Falcon offense in 41-21 loss to Handley

By Peter Brewington

NEXT GAME: Friday at home vs.

James Wood (3-4)

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

One week after sophomore Amari Martin started at quarterback for the first time, Fauquier turned to a surprise option in Bo Green for last Saturday’s clash at Handley.

Green, a 6-foot-2 junior who began the year at safety and moved to middle linebacker, wasn’t on Handley’s scouting report, but he made the Judges take notice, leading the Falcons to touchdown drives on Fauquier’s first two series and scoring twice himself for a 14-0 lead.

Although the Judges (3-3) prevailed 41-21 in the Handley Bowl, it took a strong recovery to turn back Fauquier’s spirited effort.

The Falcons (1-5) ran for 240 yards, with Carter Halsey carrying 12 times for 81 yards, and Green running 15 times for 71 yards, and Aaron Lewis tallying the Falcons’ final points on an 80-yard TD run.

Green completed 4-of-14 passes for 46 yards.

Sophomore Justin Clarke (No. 14) had an interception in last week’s competitive 41-21 loss to Handley. Next up is Homecoming Friday vs. James Wood.

Coach Karl Buckwalter explained that when Martin entered concussion protocol three days before the game, they turned to Green, who played safety for the Falcons as a freshman

before taking last year off to focus on baseball, where he is a star center fielder and strong hitter.

“We looked for the best athlete.

We wanted him to try QB years ago.

When we approached him this week, Bo said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it.’ He flourished,” said Buckwalter. “He had two good days of practice with offensive coordinator Chad Hoffman and did a great job leading the team.

“I know we lost, but sometimes it’s how you lose. I could not have been more proud of the kids. We were in the ballgame and it was a fun game to watch,” said Buckwalter.

After playing three straight road games, the Falcons next host James Wood (3-4) Friday in their Homecoming game.

Buckwalter said standouts Eli Bynaker and David Mayfield may return.

And Green will get his second start at QB. “He’s a big man at 190 pounds and he’s got wheels and is tough to bring down. He is the guy. We’re going with Bo. Bo knows,” Buckwalter said.

Eagles have time to right the ship

Liberty falls to 3-4 after 49-14 Homecoming loss to Millbrook

LIBERTY’S NEXT GAME: Friday at Skyline (2-4), 7 p.m.

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Sometimes when you make it look easy, you forget how hard it really is.

During three straight wins in September, the Liberty High offense piled up the points, averaging 47 points per game as quarterback Austin Mawyer had his way with rival defenses and the running game also excelled.

During that wonderful stretch, playoff dreams danced in the minds of Liberty fans as the program was 3-1 and appeared headed for a solid season.

Now there is serious work to be done. Last Friday’s 49-14 loss to Millbrook on Homecoming marked the Eagles’ third loss in a row, dropping them to 3-4.

“In the words of Deion Sanders, ‘That was a good old-fashioned butt whipping,’’’ said Liberty coach Kevin Odlum about Liberty’s 35-point loss to Millbrook on Homecoming.

The Eagles struggled to stop Millbrook’s single wing offense, which was led by running backs Tyson Mallory, Ryan Hecker and Kyler Jackson. The trio seemed to take turns scoring touchdowns.

“They’re a good team, very wellcoached and very disciplined. We were outmatched. There’s no hiding it. There’s no sugarcoating it. We thought we had a good game plan

Mallory, who had been sidelined and had one carry in the previous week’s 28-24 loss to Kettle Run,

scored three times on runs of 36, 67 and 17 yards. Jackson scored on runs of 6 and 1.

Hecker had a 49-yard TD run and Jonah Mihill scored on a 13-yard run.

KETTLE RUN’S NEXT GAME: Friday at home vs.

Sherando (5-2), 7 p.m.

Quaker scores school-record five times in 61-6 shellacking of Meridian

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

One week after edging Millbrook 28-24 in their closest game of the season, the Kettle Run Cougars were back on cruise control, blowing out Meridian 61-6 last Friday in Falls Church.

It was the second highest scoring game in school history, falling short of a 70-0 win over Manassas Park in 2017.

“We didn’t execute quite as well as we had hoped (against Millbrook) so the goal this week was to try to get some of those things worked out.

To start the game off fast, to try to get our offense, defense and special teams established as far as what we want to do,” said coach Charlie Porterfield of his 6-0 team’s nine-touchdown effort.

Check, check and check as the Cougars scored TDs in all three phases in exploding to a 41-0 halftime lead, helping Porterfield pull many starters in the third quarter.

Colton Quaker had five touchdowns for the second time in three games, tying his own school record set in a 56-6 win over Skyline on Sept.

22. Through six games, the junior tailback has 792 rushing yards and 16 TDs and is on pace to eclipse his record-setting marks from last season.

As a sophomore, Quaker rushed for a single-season school record 1,417 yards and 19 TDs. Quaker ran 11 times for 148 yards and four TDs against Meridian and had a 21-yard intercep-

The Eagles fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter, before stabilizing a little in the second thanks to two defensive stops and Dre Booth’s 5-yard TD run which closed Millbrook’s lead to 21-7 at halftime.

Millbrook scored in three plays to open the third quarter to grab a 28-7 lead. The Eagles answered with Mawyer’s perfectly placed 25-yard TD dart up the left sideline to Andrew Ryman in the back of the end zone to close to 28-14 with 5:08 left in the third.

Millbrook put the game away with three more TDs in quick succession. The mercy rule kicked into play with 9:15 left in the fourth and the Pioneers ahead 49-14.

Injuries on the offensive line have characterized the Eagles’ recent losses — which have come to potent foes Sherando (5-2), Brentsville (6-1) and the Pioneers (5-1).

Liberty has been playing without starting offensive linemen Xavier Harris (lower back injury), Lane Heron (sternum) and Ben Kammerude (concussion). Tight end Brandon Mock has been out, but returned recently and was moved to offensive tackle. Receiver/defensive back Caleb Owens has missed time with an arm injury.

“We’re struggling with three offensive linemen down,” said Odlum.

“When your offensive line is not clicking, the offense struggles. It’s

D.J. Jordan (right) and the Cougars are 6-0 going into Friday’s home clash with Sherando (5-2). tion return TD in the second quarter.

Porterfield attributes Quaker’s big year to increased speed through work on the track team.

“He’s always had great vision. He’s always been a powerful kid who’s tough to bring down.

But I think with his track season in the spring, his ability to, once he gets clear, stand tall and run like a sprinter has given him the ability to break some longer runs and to have the production that he’s been having so far,” Porterfield added.

Quarterback Jake Mulhern completed 7-of-9 passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns, both going to wide receiver Sam Rodgers, who caught four passes for 71 yards.

Among the second half standouts were freshman Braylon Jenkins, who returned a kickoff for a 91-yard touchdown, and sophomore Caleb Thomas, who blocked an extra point.

“I was super pleased with how everybody performed. We had some guys that made some plays, younger guys that stepped up that made some pretty big plays that were impactful. So, it’s great to see that happen. Anytime you can get some of those younger guys in, it’s just a benefit to the program,” Porterfield said.

Meridian ran 53 times for 178 yards but didn’t score until late in the fourth quarter. Quaker and sophomore Noah Frye had interceptions for TDs. “The defense did a great job. They have really done a great job establishing a dominant line of scrimmage.

I think those guys up front have the ability to play a yard in the backfield, which helps, and we have a really good rotation on defense,” said Porterfield. “We were able to keep guys fresh, and those guys have really been playing lights out this whole season.”

The Cougars (6-0) have outscored Class 3 Northwestern District foes Meridian and Skyline by 105 points.

With four games to go, Kettle Run hosts a surging Sherando (5-2) on Friday before ending with Class 3 district matchups against Warren County (1-5), Fauquier (1-5) and Brentsville (6-1).

Porterfield says new coach T.J. Rohrbaugh has Sherando rolling.

“They look like a Sherando team of old, physical and fast. They play great team defense, they’re very sound on special teams,” Porterfield said.

“When you put that film on, you can tell that they are clicking on all cylinders at this point. So, I expect a really good test as far as we’re going to have to play our best in order to win this one.”

‘These kids are gonna be special’ Led by Lliam Collins, improved Liberty golf team takes 4th at sub regionals

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Going low and getting better is the goal of every golfer, and Liberty High’s program made gains this year.

The Eagles finished fourth in the five-team Class 4 Northwestern District tournament, then fourth at sub-regionals, which had seven teams.

“Liberty’s future is bright. These kids are gonna be special,” said cocoach Montana Gleason. “We have five returning starters for next year, and they are all bought in on getting better.”

The Eagles shot 358 at the Class 4 Northwestern District tournament, finishing behind champion Handley (310), James Wood (332) and Millbrook (338) and ahead of Sherando (373) at Bowling Green South in Front Royal.

Liberty moved on to take fourth at sub-regionals, shooting 359 at the new seven-team event that also included Orange County and Charlottesville. It was held at Meadowcreek Golf Course in Charlottesville, Although star senior Lliam Collins is departing, five others return in No. 2 golfer Eli Collins, No. 3 Travis Ferguson and Jackson Carder, R.C. Sturgeon and Preston Lamot.

“Last year we shot 359 at districts

Liberty’s golf team continues to improve, taking fourth at the seven-team Class 4 sub-region tournament. Pictured from left is co-coach Rusty Markley, sophomore Eli Collins, senior Lliam Collins, junior R.C. Sturgeon, sophomore Travis Ferguson, freshman Jackson Carder, senior Devon Hash and co-coach Montana Gleason. and that was with four good rounds.

This year at sub regionals we shot 359 with three bad rounds and one average round. These kids want to get better and compete,“ said Gleason, who shares coaching duties with Rusty Markley.

“They are already asking about off-season practices for the winter.

They are seeking outside lessons for help, they are already planning on playing in VSGA, Hurricane Golf, and MAPGA tournaments next year,” said Gleason.

“They want to get better, and they want to do it together. This team has grown way more than we expected

from last year to this year, and even during the short season. These kids are way more bought in than they ever were before. I don’t know what scores we will get next year, but I know our kids are going to put up a fight and put in the work to give a chance for anything to happen.”

Liberty’s top golfer was senior Lliam Collins, whose final rounds as the Eagles’ No. 1 player were strong.

He shot 74 at the district meet to take third and 79 at the sub regional to tie for fifth and move on to regionals, where he shot 86 at the Class 6 Region B tournament in Charlottesville.

“Lliam had been playing lights

out with only bad luck hurting him,” said Gleason. “He has grown so much over the year.”

Gleason and Markley were pleased to see Collins make smart decisions, including a key moment at sub regionals when Collins’ season was on the line.

“We knew he had to break 81 to move onto regionals after the first group finished, but we didn’t tell him that,” said Markley.

“On the last hole, he decided to layup from 200 yards out on the par 5 with a pitching wedge and left himself with 30 yards in. He stuck the wedge perfectly as we watched it roll and stop just six inches short of going in for eagle. At that moment Rusty and I had the best feeling you can get as a coach.”

At regionals, Collins opened with a 60-foot birdie putt in his bid to advance to the Class 4 state tournament.

He finished strong, closing with par, par, birdie, par, bogey to shoot 86, but miss out on a state berth. “He had some unlucky holes where he wasn’t playing bad but couldn’t catch a break,” Gleason said.

Collins has the game to play in college with several Old Dominion Athletic Conference schools interested. His younger brother Eli Collins shot 83 to place seventh at districts and will be a junior next season, likely inheriting the No. 1 slot, with Travis Ferguson also contending.

Why fall is the best season to buy a home Fall is when the leaves turn and the chaotic real estate market shifts more in favor of buyers.

By Jessica Saadeh

Long & Foster R ealty

What do you think is the best season to buy a home? Most people would probably say spring.

While there are traditionally more homes for sale in the spring market, there are also a lot more people looking to buy.

In the past few years, we have seen a sort of frenzy between March and July. Multiple offer situations, escalation clauses and homes going under contract in mere hours after going into active status meant that many buyers were outbid even when making offers above list price.

The potential home buyers who missed out during the fray may find that it was a blessing in disguise. The fall market is upon us now, and there are several advantages to buying a home in this season.

The most obvious is the fact that there are fewer buyers searching at this time of year, which means less competition. Sellers are traditionally more motivated to negotiate and make a deal before the holiday season begins. Additionally, the transaction process itself can be much smoother as industry professionals such as real estate agents, loan officers, title companies and others are usually more flexible with their schedules now than they are in the spring.

A large portion of buyers in the spring market are families with school-aged children. Now that the academic year is in full swing, most will opt to stay put in their current home until next year. Not only does this mean there will be more elbow room at open houses, it also means that there is less chance of yours being one of five offers on the table for the same home. You

can feel less pressure to push your financial comfort to the limit just to beat out someone else.

If your offer is the only one that comes in, the sellers will likely be more willing to work with you rather than wait to see if they get anything else. Terms like home inspection contingencies, and even seller concessions, may be more possible now if a seller is motivated.

There are some homes still available now that were listed for sale back in the summer. There could be a myriad of reasons why they haven’t sold yet. Maybe they went under contract, and the deal fell through because of financing or some change in the buyer’s circumstance. Maybe they tried for a higher price than the market would pay and are now realizing that they need to reduce it or make improvements to gain interest. The sellers of these homes will likely be more willing to negotiate on contract terms than sellers in the spring.

There are also homes that are just coming on the market now because the sellers weren’t able or ready earlier in the year, for whatever reason. Maybe the house needed repairs or updating, and it took longer than expected. Either way, there are some great opportunities in the fall to negotiate on a slightly more even playing field as the end of the year approaches.

As the temperatures and the hot market begin to cool, it becomes easier to coordinate a real estate transaction. Home inspectors, appraisers and title companies have more wiggle room in their schedules, which means less hassle for buyers who are already busy with their daily routine.

The whole process from getting approved by a lender, searching for homes with a real estate agent,

writing an offer, negotiating, and going to settlement is much less chaotic at this time of year. Even scheduling a moving company is smoother in the fall. As a bonus, if you are planning on doing any improvements after you move in, such as putting in new flooring or appliances, there are usually some great deals to be had around the holidays as stores are getting in those last sales of the year.

Spring is unquestionably the most popular time to buy and sell real estate. There are traditionally more homes available and more people looking. In recent years, spring has heavily favored the seller over the buyer. Therefore, with the combined effects of less competition, a more balanced negotiation process and general ease of coordinating schedules for professionals involved in the transaction, fall may actually be the best time to buy a home right now.

If you wanted to buy in the spring, but it didn’t work out, maybe the perfect home for you just wasn’t on the market yet.

Fauquier cross country sweeps district quad

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

With just one more meet until the Class 3 Northwestern District meet on Oct. 25, Fauquier cross country knows it’s time to start hitting their peak form.

Hosting James Wood, Meridian and Skyline for a 5K on Oct. 4, the FHS the boys and girls won in commanding fashion, placing five runners each in the top 10 and scoring 25 points in both races.

Cassidy Scott won the girls race in 19:53, finishing almost three minutes in front of Meridian’s Molly Moore’s 22:38. Sam Paccassi’s third place showing led the boys.

“It was another good race where we saw some people really getting after it, running together as teammates. There was a lot of kids on the field at one time, so it was really nice, people had people to chase down and catch. (We) got out of the day feeling pretty good about it,”

Freshman George Adamec ran well in the Falcons’ home district quad on Oct. 4, finishing in 19:33 to take seventh. said coach Quentin Jones.

Fauquier’s Kayana Frisk (22:56) was in third in the girls race. Meme Merchant (23:10) was fifth, Bella Seitz (23:46) seventh, Mackenzie

Hodul (24:12) ninth and Anna Rayburn (24:45) 12th.

The Falcons’ top five boys all finished within one minute of each other with Paccassi third at 18:34.

Nick Warren was fourth at 19:02, Eli Savoie (19:18) was fifth, James Lawrence (19:23) sixth and George Adamec (19:33) seventh.

Jones used the quad as an opportunity to scout Fauquier’s new Class 3 district rivals.

“Our kids were ready to run.

That’s the first time we ever went head-to-head with Meridian, so I don’t know them very well at all.

Skyline had two good boys in the front, but we had a bigger team than they did and a little more depth,” he said.

Jones was pleased to see the Falcons run so well following the Judges Classic, a hilly 5K at the Kernstown Battlefield Course in Winchester, on Sept. 30.

“It was a tough course and kind

of yanked their chains a bit,” Jones said. “But I think we also had some good things there. We had some guys and girls really race hard and that was nice to see the competitive part in them as well.”

Savoie led the boys at 17:58 with Reese Brown (18:10), Paccassi (18:21), Andrew Mossman (18:43) and Warren (18:51) close behind.

Scott finished in 19:46 to take fifth of 142 girls with Merchant (22:50), Seitz (23:20), Frisk (23:27), Rayburn (23:34), Hodul (23:53) and Seneca Scott (24:15) also clocking fast times.

The Falcons end the season with the Third Battle Invitational in Winchester on Saturday, then prepare for the district meet on Oct. 25 at Sherando.

“We got to hit it with full guns loaded and just go, go, go. (I’d) like to have a good race and then from there we start moving into the postseason,” Jones said.

game was effective. Not re- back with wins over Fauquier 27-20 Eagles fall to 3-4 running cently. “We’re doing things to help and Manassas Park 57-6.

EAGLES, from page 14 the same at every level from youth to the NFL. I’m not making excuses.

It was awfully nice in the first part of the season.”

In blowout wins over Fauquier, James Monroe and Culpeper, Mawyer had time to throw and the

with that. We hope to get one or two guys back and get some normalcy up front,” Odlum said.

There is time to right the ship with remaining games against Skyline (2-4), Handley (3-3) and James Wood (3-4).

The Eagles visit Skyline Friday.

The Hawks opened 0-4 but bounced

“They’re big up front and do some interesting things on offense. They’re coming off two wins and we have to match their energy,” Odlum said.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband Vernon L. (Jack) Barron and a brother Stanley Soaper. She was also preceded in death by her wonderful friend of 30+ years, Mary McClaugherty of Warrenton.

She is survived by her daughters Shawn Barron of Manassas, Va. (Jamie Edwards), Kimberly Barron of Warrenton, Va., and many great cousins. An important part of her life, who was also her 'sister', confidant and partner in crime, Diane Morton of Warrenton, Va. And her dear friends, Wayne and Regina Elam of Sumerduck, Va. She first started her career as a hairdresser in Warrenton and then ran a salon out of her home. She and her husband Jack then owned J & G Market on Route 29 @ Vint Hill Road where they greeted and welcomed every customer. After the sale of the market, they moved on to owning Earle's Texaco on Broadview Ave. She was the bookkeeper for the business and was also hands on in pumping gas, checking oil and stocking the vending machines. They employed many students from Fauquier High School and everyone there was treated like family. They had cookouts at their home on weekends and Glenda always made enough food to feed any army of people. You were always welcome, any day or any time at Jack and Glenda's. And most importantly, everyone called her Mom. She also loved making and selling crafts. She and Jack went to many local craft fairs where they sold handmade wooden rocking horses, arrangements and hand painted and homemade items they had made together. Later, she and Jack moved on to work at Leach Rental Center, located behind the Texaco station on Broadview Ave., where she took care of the bookkeeping and helped with rentals and small equipment repairs. After her husband's passing in 1998, she continued her employment there, retiring after a total of 18 years. She will be remembered for her generosity to others and her love for all things pigs. And to many, she will always be Ma Lew. There will be a private burial at Stonewall Memory Gardens in Gainesville, Va. In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation be made in her memory to the Fauquier County SPAC. Online condolences may be expressed at www.moserfuneralhome.com

GRIEVING THE LOSS OF A PET

110 Main Street Warrenton, VA 20186

Grief is a natural part of loss, and that includes the sorrow of saying goodbye to our furry friends. Pet death can be particularly difficult because it involves the loss of part of your daily life and household. Just as with a human loss, celebrating and honoring the life of your pet supports the grieving process and inspires healing. Consider creating an alter or memorial for your pet at home or at their grave, using meaningful items from their life. You can write an obituary for your pet to share on social media along with photos. Try hiring an artist to make a painting, drawing, or sculpture of your pet. Or plant a favorite tree or shrub in their honor.

The grief you feel from pet loss can be intense and complicated. The important thing is that you don’t minimize your grief and if you feel like it is too much to manage you reach out for help. There are many places to turn for pet loss support.

Take your time and go easy on yourself.

With time, things will get easier. To learn about the services MOSER FUNERAL HOME offers, please call (540) 3473431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

1. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT - TEXT-21-014800 – A Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Update Floodplain Regulations to comply with Federal requirements. (Amy Rogers, :[HɈ)

TOWN OF WARRENTON NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Planning Commission of the Town of Warrenton will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at 7:00 PM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia, on the following item(s): SUP 2023-02 Walmart Amendment - The Applicant, Wal-Mart, is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP) Amendment to SUP #10-04 to allow for upgrades to the existing store by implementing the following improvements: 1) expanding the store by approximately 6,151 square feet to accommodate a merchandise pick-up staging area, which will require the relocation of an existing outdoor storage area, 2) re-striping portions of the parking area in order to provide spaces for customers picking up pre-ordered merchandise, and 3) modifying the exterior Store elevations to include an addition and new colors. The subject properties located at 700 James Madison Highway (GPIN 6983-57-7857 and 6983-58-5289) are zoned Commercial and designated in the Greenway and Makers District on the Future Land Use Map. ZOTA 2023-02 Assembly Uses/Church in the Industrial District - A Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (ZOTA) to Zoning Ordinance Article 3, Section 3-4.12 Industrial District to address allowable Assembly uses in the District. The Ordinance currently permits several uses as by-right Permitted Uses where people gather for social, entertainment, cultural, educational and recreational purposes, where these uses are classified as Assembly uses by the Building Code. The Building Code classifies Churches as an Assembly use, however Churches are not listed as either a Permitted Use or a Permissible Use in the Industrial District. A text amendment to Section 3-4.12 was initiated by Town Council on May 9, 2023 to allow staff to begin work on potential revisions to the list of Assembly uses that are allowable in the Industrial District. Staff has prepared a draft ordinance for Planning Commission consideration.

People having an interest in the above are invited to attend the hearing and state their opinion regarding the issue. 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.
