The Sept. 27 sentencing hearing for Kenneth Hayden Olenslager was unusual because everyone who testified asked for leniency for the defendant – even the victim’s family.

“In my experience, that’s very rare in a case of homicide,” defense attorney Blair Howard said.

Olenslager, 28, pleaded guilty June 27 to involuntary manslaughter and distributing a drug as “accommodation to another individual” after providing his wife, Lydia McGarry, with a fatal dose of fentanyl in a

He is a careful, attentive listener and a reflective responder. And he is Black, a fact that informs his artistic choices and has been a pivotal factor in shaping his career. “Blackness can never be left out of it,” he said in a recent interview.

The New York Times calls him a “brilliant bass baritone.” He was also the subject of a lengthy New Yorker article. “A timbre at once grand and fraught, potent and vulnerable,” the writer said.

Born in Portsmouth, Virginia, Tines moved with his mother to Annapolis, Maryland, when he was 3. When he was 6, the family broke up. His mother remarried, and she gave custody of her son to his grandparents, who lived in Orlean. “Preppy horse country,” he called it.

Liberty High School celebrates homecoming Friday was a good day to be a Liberty Eagle.

The Bealeton high school’s homecoming week culminated in a pep rally after school followed by a pre-game tailgate party in the parking lot.

Principal Sam Cox sported an outfit that exemplified school spirit. The school’s clubs, sports teams and academic departments hosted activities from lassoing to face painting to cornhole. Teacher Linda Koval’s math club made pi pies. A student skated through the parking lot on a hoverboard.

A little later, at halftime of the football game, the school’s JROTC created a tunnel of swords for members of the homecoming court as they processed onto the field, cheered on by family and friends in the stands.

Homecoming king Joey Triplett, a wide receiver and cornerback for the football team, then helped the Eagles to a dramatic win over Sherando, keeping the celebratory mood alive in Bealeton.

The dance took place Saturday night.

Increasing police presence in Remington emerged as a top priority in the informal backand-forth among candidates and the audience. It’s an issue that ties into a larger concern that the volume and speed of motorists driving through town make it unsafe for pedestrians. It’s a situation some in Monday’s audience felt would be helped by more police officers on the street. Some said that they rarely see Remington officers patrolling neighborhoods or running radar on busy throughstreets.

While about a dozen people spoke at that event, there was little consensus on how exactly to address the problem, which many residents say discourages them from walking downtown from their nearby homes.

Tiffany explained Monday that town officials have identified “peak times” when traffic enforcement or other types of coverage is most needed.

But because the Remington Police Department relies on officers who have full-time jobs with other law enforcement agencies, sometimes finding consistent coverage is difficult, since they can only work on their off hours. Currently, the Remington department employs three part-time officers.

While she said that more consistent police presence would be ideal, Tiffany noted that the town government has very limited resources and

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

As Warrenton grapples with growing pains, the town needs a mayor who will focus on the most important issues — increasing the stock of affordable housing, improving the local economy and creating a short list of strategic priorities, Councilman Renard Carlos (At Large) said.

“Part of the reason that I’m running for mayor is because I think we have an opportunity to really look at the 3,000-foot picture — where we are, where we want to be and then where we’re looking at going in the future,” Carlos said.

Additional affordable housing is crucial for Warrenton’s future, said Carlos, who is running against incumbent Mayor Carter Nevill. Both Nevill’s and Carlos’ terms on the council end Dec. 31, 2022.

Affordable housing is intertwined with other important issues, including the local economy, Carlos said. “Affordable housing is obviously good for the community,” Carlos said. “However, it’s not just ‘How is it good for the community?’ because it touches a little bit of everything,” he said.

Affordable housing

Affordable housing is important for business owners because they need housing for their workers and finding it is a huge challenge, Carlos said.

“Small business owners want to be able to hire folks, but they need to have a place for them to live,” he said.

In addition, the houses getting built in and around Warrenton tend to be large, single-family homes that cost too much for a sizeable chunk of the local workforce. There is a “missing middle” of housing for young couples seeking smaller “starter” homes and for aging people on fixed incomes, he said.

Warrenton is losing some of its young people because they can’t find affordable places to live. “How do we keep folks who are graduating college or maybe going to trade school?” Carlos asked. “We’d love to keep the best and brightest here in Warrenton, but they’ve got to have a place to stay,” Carlos said.

One way to address this difficult problem is to explore public/private partnerships, perhaps to help turn properties the town of Warrenton already owns into affordable housing. “So, we own multiple properties here in town,” he said. “Not all of them are going to be suitable, but some of them are.

“I just recently asked for that to be brought forward to the town council and to actually look at those properties.” Carlos said. “And so, the next phase, in my opinion, would be starting to actually look at the property that we have that could potentially be used to do affordable housing projects.”

Improved collaboration with Fauquier County officials also would reap benefits for Warrenton, Carlos said. “I think that we have a great opportunity to better engage the county when it comes to projects that are affecting Warrenton,” he said.

“We can’t think about projects in Fauquier with an isolated mindset.”

Economy

While Warrenton has seen some new business-

Warrenton mayoral candidate Renard Carlos meets with Joan Williams of Oliver City Road on Saturday morning. Williams served on the town council to fill out the term of her husband, John Williams, when he passed away. She was reelected to the council and served another full term.

Candidate story

This is the second of two stories about the candidates for mayor of Warrenton. Incumbent Mayor Carter Nevill is running for a second term against Council Member Renard Carlos (at large) es open in Old Town and along the Lee Highway, Carlos believes the town needs to do more to create jobs. Warrenton has a great asset in Laurel Ridge Community College. It has strong information-technology programs that will produce graduates looking for good-paying jobs, he said.

“We’re going to need to understand what our economy is going to look like the next five to 10 years,” he said. “We don’t have to sacrifice the character of Warrenton with those types of jobs.”

Carlos said he was “very skeptical” about Amazon’s proposal to build a data center behind Country Chevrolet in Warrenton, but he does want to attract companies that will bring good-paying jobs.

“You don’t have to take the first bite that you get,” Carlos said. “That’s not to say if you turn down one or one’s not the right bite that you’re never going to get anyone else to come there,” Carlos said. “That’s just not true. It’s about being selective.”

Between affordable housing and a workforce educated for today’s jobs, Warrenton will be attractive to the right businesses, the ones that fit the town’s vision, Carlos said.

Collaboration with other stakeholders is not limited to affordable housing, Carlos said. For example, the town can work with Doug Parsons, Fauquier County’s director of economic development. “It presents another opportunity to make decisions that are not isolated,” Carlos said. “They are collaborative, and they’re good for both the town and the county.”

Review strategic objectives

Instead of focusing on many goals at once, the town council should consider creating a short list of priorities and lean hard into making one happen each year, Carlos said. “I’m calling for us to review all of our strategic priorities, narrow them down to one priority per year and then to also review all of our outstanding projects that we’re working on.”

As an example of how focusing on one priority at a time helps productivity, Carlos pointed to Roll Out Warrenton. Confronted with the “monumental task” of helping businesses survive COVID, the town council put a lot of “side projects” on hold and turned up the volume on creating a more vibrant Old Town. It worked, even after COVID

Businesses, government and the community came together to focus on making the mix of activities, expanded restaurant seating and road closures work for most everyone.

Along with the big projects, the council should focus on what Carlos called “small deliverables.”

For example, when residents complain about speeders in their neighborhoods, one short-term solution is to install a sign that lets drivers see their speed. “Before you spend a huge amount of money to redesign an entire street, maybe there are cost-effective ways that you can do the exact same thing.

“You do some small steps first to see if we can change behavior” before embarking on a big project on the town’s traffic.

Leadership style

The mayor does not vote on decisions that come before the town council unless there is a tie, which doesn’t happen often on the seven-member board -- unless someone is absent or abstains from a vote. “As an elected official, I was hired to do a job,” Carlos said. “My constituents are the boss. I’m certainly not their boss or certainly not their master,” he said. “I’m rolling up my sleeves, and I’m going to work.”

That’s why Carlos spends a large chunk of his time meeting with constituents about whatever concerns them, he said. “It’s not for photo ops or just because it’s election time,” he said. “I’ve done it for the entire four years” as a council member, he said.

On-time graduation rates dip slightly for Fauquier students in 2022

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County Public Schools’ on-time graduation rate for all students dropped slightly in 2022, down 1.4% to 94.8% from an all-time high of 96.11% in 2021, according to data made available Friday by the Virginia Department of Education.

Despite the drop, Fauquier students beat the state average of 92.12% for on-time graduation.

Fauquier’s Hispanic students, who make up the largest share of minority students in the division, also graduated at higher rates than their counterparts across the state.

The on-time graduation rate for Hispanic students was 92.13% in 2022, compared with 83.12% of Hispanic students statewide.

Graduation rates for all Fauquier students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, autism and developmental delays, increased to 95.35%, up from 93.66% in 2021.

No comment was available Friday from Fauquier County Public Schools, according to a spokeswoman who was preparing a news release for Monday.

On-time graduation rates for 2022 were calculated for students who entered 9th grade together during the 2018-2019 school year and were scheduled to graduate together four years later — in 2022.

Graduation rates drop for student subgroups: • Black students. The on-time graduation rate for Black students was 90%, down 5.1% from 94.81% in 2021. A total of 63 Black students graduated from Fauquier

high schools in 2022. The statewide on-time graduation rate for Black students was 90.27%, with 19,063 students graduating.

• Economically disadvantaged.

The on-time graduation rate for students who are economically disadvantaged — who receive reduced-price or free meals at school or meet other criteria — was 90.91% in the Fauquier division, down from 92.07% in 2021. The statewide figures are lower, with 87.71% of students graduating in 2022, down from 89.28% in 2021.

• English Language Learners.

The on-time graduation rate for English Language Learners dropped in Fauquier and statewide. The Fauquier graduation rate was 76.60%, down 9.3% from 84.44% in 2021. Statewide,

10th Middleburg Film Festival will be Oct. 13 to 16

By Constance Lyons

Special to the Fauquier Times

France has Cannes, Utah has Sundance, and Fauquier County has the Middleburg Film Festival, set for Oct. 13 to 16 this year. The festival is the brainchild of Sheila Johnson, owner and developer of Middleburg’s Salamander resort. Johnson is an avid filmgoer and producer, as well as a member of the Sundance Film Institute.

The festival typically attracts film goers from all over the world, sometimes as many as 2,500. The screenings are held at various venues around Middleburg, including the Hill School, the Middleburg Community Center and the Salamander Resort.

All the venues are easily accessible by shuttle.

In addition to screenings, the festival offers lectures and seminars led by cinematic luminaries (director Kenneth Branach spoke last year),

dinners, a concert and some gala parties.

Films are powerful stuff, Johnson said: “Movies have a rare and magical ability to inspire, educate, engage and entertain. They lift us up out of our everyday lives, help us see others’ points of view, and build new and much-needed bridges of empathy and understanding.” This year is the festival’s tenth anniversary.

Morgan Butler Lewis, Devada Allison and Susan Tiffany were among the candidates present at the Oct. 10 discussion.

Policing, traffic safety top issues at Remington forum CANDIDATES, from page 3 “This part-time way of doing business — it’s doomed from the start,” Heflin added, noting that the current hourly rate offered by the town is far below the overtime pay those officers could earn from their primary employers.

But the candidates cautioned that Remington is a small town with very limited resources, making substantial expansion of any service difficult — whether that service is policing, public works or another town function. Progress, Tiffany said, comes “little by little. We’re trying to do things that don’t raise people’s taxes.”

Whether it’s about policing or another issue, the candidates urged residents to provide more input on decisions facing the council. Incum-

bents Tiffany and Heflin said that they were sometimes disheartened by the lack of public engagement on important issues and asked for more people to attend public meetings and reach out to council members. “It’s a little frustrating,” Tiffany said, especially when questions arise about how best to spend tax money.

“One of the most rewarding things … is when people actually show up and engage,” Heflin added.

Allison, repeating what has been a key focus of his campaign, said that he would not push for any specific policy agenda if elected mayor, instead acting as a sounding board for the public. “I’m not the one making the decisions [as mayor],” he said.

“I’m not trying to have any power.”

10th Middleburg Film Festival will be Oct. 13 to 16 FESTIVAL, from page 6 Last year the festival screened eventual Oscar nominees “Power of the Dog,” “King Richard,” “Drive My Car” and “The Lost Daughter.”

One unique enticement of the festival is the inclusion of indie films and foreign language gems that audiences wouldn’t otherwise have access to, or even know about.

A riveting offering in 2015 was an Icelandic film called “Rams,” about two brothers, sheep farmers, who have not spoken for years; it is at once hilarious and heartbreaking.

An audience favorite in 2016 -- it got a standing ovation -- was “The Eagle Huntress,” the true story of a 13-year-old Mongolian girl who captures and trains an infant eagle to be a prize-winning competitor in fox hunting competitions.

Among this year’s offerings are “All Quiet On the Western Front,” based on Erich Remarque’s best-selling novel about the first world war.

A young German soldier learns how the initial euphoria of war turns into desperation and despair as he fights for his life in the trenches. “Decision to Leave” is a Hitchcockian thriller: A Korean business man plunges to his death from a mountaintop. Did he jump or was he pushed? A charismatic young detective suspects the man’s beautiful wife of murder.

“The Woman King” takes a fascinating look at the Agojie, an all-fe-

male unit of warriors who in the 1800s protected the West African kingdom of Dahomey. The black comedy “White Noise,” adapted from the best-selling eponymous novel by Don DeLillo, stars the charismatic Adam Driver as Jack Gladney, professor of Hitler studies at the College-on-the-Hill, husband to Babette and father to four children/ stepchildren. Gladney is devastated by “the Airborne Toxic Event,” a cataclysmic train accident that casts chemical waste over his town.

Special events include a Thursday night VIP dinner and reception, an opening night film and after party, and a tenth anniversary concert, as well as conversations with a number of the directors of the festival films.

For Oscar aficionados, “Coffee and Contenders” offers a discussion with film luminaries about the upcoming Oscars.

The festival’s website (middleburgfilm.org) provides a complete account of this year’s 46 films, with synopses and cast members. Single tickets for most of the showings cost $18; opening and closing night viewings and some special attractions are $30. An advance ticket purchase of $3,000 will allow admission to just about anything. The $1,200 Cinephile Pass gives admission to the opening night film and after party on Oct. 13, entry to all regular films, and to the tenth anniversary party.

In 2018, Tines and the composer Michael Schacter collaborated in turning Langston Hughes’ poem “The Black Clown” into a musical theater experience. The world premiere was presented by the American Repertory Theater in 2018, and “The Black Clown” was performed at Lincoln Center in summer 2019.

A music-theatrical experience, “Black Clown” combines vaudeville, gospel, opera, jazz and spirituals to bring Langston Hughes’ incendiary verse to life, chronicling a Black man’s fortitude and courage against a history of oppression.

In 2019, Tines was cast as the lead in “Fire Shut Up in My Bones,” an opera based on a memoir by the New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow, who is Black. The protagonist is a young man growing up poor. At the age of 7, he was sexually abused by his cousin, a traumatic event that irrevocably seared and scarred his spirit. As he grows older, he struggles with how to exorcise his demons and whether he should take revenge on his tormentor.

The opera was first performed at the Opera Theater of St Louis.

Of Tines’ performance, the St Louis Dispatch said, “Bass-baritone Davóne Tines is a glory in the tourde-force role of Charles. With the physical beauty of an athlete and an utterly Olympian voice, he is perfect in the role.”

More recently, Tines has been involved with The American Opera Company, based in Stamford, Vermont, which unites singers, dancers and musicians. “It’s about unity,” he said. “Everyone’s involved. In AMOC we’re trying to give everyone a voice.”

Asked where he lives now, Tines responded, “Nowhere. Wherever I happen to be working. And I like it. In hotels you get into the rhythm of shared life, you create your own meaning of home; you get to know people, the staff. Community is a means of help, if you need it.”

Tines says that for him singing is a way of dealing with emotion.

“There is so much buried rage at centuries of repression.” Instead of venting through violence, he said, “I can sing.”

Why opera rather than some other form of vocalizing? “It’s what my voice is suited to,” he said. “But it’s not because I found the art form. The art form found me.”

He is dismissive of the classics that most people associate with opera; he wants to explore new forms, new ways of messaging. “Though I might like to sing “Don Giovanni.”

Or Wotan [in Wagner’s Ring operas], Tannhauser, maybe.”

Singers he admires? “Paul Robson,” he said without hesitation.

“And Aretha Franklin.”

“Opera takes something small and blows it up out of proportion,” Tines said. “Similarly, to attain social justice, you have to blow events out of proportion to get people to pay attention.”

Fauquier Times | October 12, 2022

Fauquier Republicans gather for annual Lincoln-Reagan dinner Despite the threat of torrential rain from remnants of Hurricane Ian, more than 300 people gathered Sept. 30 for the annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner, an annual Fauquier County GOP fundraiser, held at the Inn at Vint Hill.

Republicans gathered at the soldout event to encourage one another and be inspired by Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle Sears, Hung Cao, candidate for the 10th Congressional District, and Richard Reinsch II, director of American Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

The sounds of leadership didn’t radiate only from the speaker’s podium. Community leaders from all parts of Fauquier County contributed to the conversation about making America better.

One such conversation leader was Renee Graves, administrative assistant for Fauquier County’s Commissioner of the Revenue, reiterating the importance of understanding the community one serves. “It gives me an opportunity to get the pulse of what’s happening politically.”

What did these messengers

“All great change in America begins at the dinner table.”

- PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

share? Each of the three speakers began with the Declaration of Independence. Hung Cao shared his family’s struggles as his father immigrated from Vietnam, coming to America with nothing but a dream and a willingness to work hard.

Cao’s father demonstrated to his family that the American dream still rang true as he went from the bottom to study in the halls of Cornell and beyond to work for USAID in Africa, serving the people there for 15 years. Because of his sacrifice and willingness to humble himself, the father made open doors possible for his five sons. Hung Cao attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.

From this educational foundation, Candidate Hung Cao received a commission from the United States

This election day, the choice is clear In recent debates between U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton and candidate Hung Cao, we have heard markedly different views on the rights of women to make reproductive health care decisions with the advice of their medical provider and without government interference.

Wexton has voted to protect a woman’s Constitutional right to make her own reproductive health care decisions and has continually emphasized her support for safe and legal abortions. She respects personal autonomy when it comes to health care decisions; and a woman’s reproductive health care choices – from contraception to pregnancy and birth – are part of that spectrum.

By contrast, candidate Cao has compared abortion to the devastating atrocities of the Holocaust and has left no doubt that he would seek to strictly limit women’s reproductive health care options.

In debates, Cao attempts to explain his position to the majority of Virginia voters — 88%, according to a May 2022 Roanoke ColSubmitting letters to the editor

lege poll — who support abortion access. He speaks of his traditional Vietnamese cultural roots, which support the belief in life beginning at conception.

Cao conveniently ignores the point that, while more conservative Vietnamese oppose abortion, it is available to their citizens. Vietnam has offered legal, free abortions upon request since at least 1989.

Abortion was recognized as a women’s right under the Law on Protection of People’s Health, Article 44.

Regardless, he has no argument of any substance or merit when it comes to his support of intrusive government control of women’s bodies and health care decision-making.

The choice is clear. Vote for personal liberty. Vote to support the right of each woman to work with her medical provider to make important and highly personal health care decisions. Vote to re-elect Rep. Jennifer Wexton.

Hung Cao, candidate for the 10th Congressional District, and Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle Sears arrive at the Lincoln-Reagan Dinner, an annual Fauquier County GOP fundraiser.

Naval Academy, serving alongside our joint military special operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia.

His unique military skills and education have led him through the physics halls of MIT and Harvard, along with Homeland Security and an FBI Terrorism Task Force.

Yet the man who stood at the podium did not focus on his past but on Virginia’s future.

Sears finished the night challenging the audience to a stance of grave mindfulness, stating, “We’ve got to

be serious to preserve America. She may not be all she’s supposed to be, but she’s not what she used to be either, because I am here.”

Sears referenced her unique role as Virginia’s first elected female, Black, immigrant civil leader in the role of lieutenant governor. Sears leaned into the foundations of the Constitution, which instituted the vision that she could be elected under a legal framework written over 200 years ago.

Sears called on those who were quietly waiting to go out and vote, then found ten people to ask if they had also voted. Her committee has uncovered the statistic that approximately 400,000 Christians do not vote unless the election is presidential. Every election is unique. Every election brings a change in one way or another.

Sears closed by saying, “You are the reason he (Hung Cao) fought.

You are the salt of the earth.” Hope has been rekindled amidst the people. Now that the call has been made, will you vote?”

Good journalism alive and well at the Fauquier Times With reporters such as Colleen LaMay (“New CEO at Fauquier Health lays out roadmap for improvement,” Oct. 5), and Peter Cary (“Data centers’ secrecy often keeps residents in the dark,” Oct. 5), there is still some hope for competent and accurate journalism.

Their excellent, clear and very readable articles on the above subjects are much better than what I’ve seen in the “mainstream” media as of late.

Many long-time supporters of the non-profit Fauquier Hospital never could understand the need to sell to a for-profit corporation, headquartered in another state no less. Love to see who actually profited by this sale, not the local citizens no doubt.

It’s no reflection on the new CEO, who seems to be eminently

qualified. Like many, I just don’t believe in the for-profit concept for hospitals and didn’t see any pressing reason to turn over the work of many generations of locals to a for-profit corporation. The recent “D” grade for the new hospital situation speaks volumes.

Peter Cary’s article about the data center proposal, with its secrecy and “revolving door” aspect should be read by all citizens interested in transparency and good government.

(When government officials leave public servant jobs to go into the private sector, it can give the appearance of a conflict of interest.)

Fauquier Times: Thank you and keep up the good work!

ANDREW JOHNSON Marshall

Candidate Hung Cao’s claims raking forest floors will stop forest fires Let’s take care of global warming and boost the U.S. economy the way Hung Cao suggests.

Let’s all get out there and rake the forest. We can even help drive inflation down by buying rakes, and at the same time, help boost the economy by choosing American-made rakes, proudly made by American steel and rake makers.

By buying more rakes, we can even keep these dangerous implements out of the hands of would-be rake-bludgeoners who might be hunting your (our) children! After all, aren’t more children bludgeoned with rakes than shot with guns here in the United States?

LIBERTY FOOTBALL STORY

LIBERTY SCORES LAST 21 POINTS TO STUN SHERANDO, 35-29

Eagles win thanks to Coles’ hustle, Booth’s tackle, Ryman’s TD

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Time Staff Writer

Liberty had multiple heroes in Friday’s amazing 35-29 home win over Sherando that put them back in the thick of the Northwestern District race, but none bigger than senior free safety Dom Coles.

With the Eagles clinging to their hard-earned six-point lead in the closing minutes, Warriors’ dangerous running back Jason Foster burst through the line and was running free to the end zone for what looked like a 69-yard touchdown.

Visions of Foster scoring followed by the go-ahead extra point probably brought chills to the hearts of Eagle Nation. But Coles, using an angle, ran him down, and wrestled Foster to the ground at the Liberty 3-yard line.

On the next play, Foster fumbled, with Liberty recovering inside the 5.

Just like that, Liberty’s most important victory in three seasons was nearly secured. Two first down runs

by Noah Hall allowed Liberty to run out the clock, leading to emotional

LIBERTY’S NEXT GAME: Friday HOME vs. James Wood (0-2) chest bumping on the Eagle side.

The Warriors (2-1, 4-2) walked off stunned at the dramatic turnaround that took them out of a tie for first.

“Dom Coles ran him down,” praised coach Travis Buzzo. “The guy had an eight-yard head start and

20 yards to go. He closed the gap and got to him to the ground. It was huge.”

Equally important of course was Foster’s fumble on the next play.

When asked who recovered it, Buzzo said, “I saw all 11 running to the sidelines. I have no idea.”

Further review revealed it was junior linebacker Dre Booth on the hit, with the recovery by Hall.

“It was a perfect hit with his shoulder pad,” said Buzzo of Booth’s play. “You couldn’t have drawn it up any better.

KETTLE RUN-FAUQUIER FOOTBALL

POOF, THERE GOES TAPSCOTT, AGAIN

Cougars’ star receiver catches 10 passes for 243 yards in 44-14 win over Fauquier

By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

For every high school football receiver in America, it would be a monster game.

For Jordan Tapscott it’s becoming routine — although this one was special.

REDISTRICTING UPDATE

It’s official: Kettle Run, Fauquier dropping to Class 3 next year

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

As expected, the Virginia High School League’s Executive Committee finalized its lengthy quadrennial statewide reclassification and redistricting process.

Effective on July 1, 2023, Fauquier and Kettle Run are dropping to the Class 3 level, while Liberty will remain in Class 4.

All three will remain members of the Northwestern District and Liberty will continue to play Kettle Run and Fauquier on a non-district basis for as many sports as possible.

Final approval came on Sept. 21, when the VHSL heard eight final ap-

peals that date before voting on the new alignment. The new district and regional structures will be in effect until June 30, 2027, although there is a procedure for a school to move up or down in classification after two years if an appreciable gain or decrease in enrollment has occurred.

As Class 3 Northwestern District members, Fauquier and Kettle Run will compete against Brentsville, Manassas Park, Warren County, Skyline, Meridian rather than the Winchester schools.

William Monroe of Ruckersville was included in the original plan, but the Green Dragons successfully appealed to move to the Valley District.

An even bigger change will be the

regional format. All 14 schools in Class 3 Region B automatically qualify for regional play in many sports, so the Class 3 Northwestern District schools will not conduct the usual post-season district tournament.

Instead, the Class 3 schools regular-season slate will conclude the same week as the Class 4 district playoffs.

The Maggie Walker Governor’s School in Richmond has been added to the region. That school was assigned to Class 2 but appealed to be assigned to Class 3.

Effects differ for Liberty

As a Class 4 member of the Northwestern District, Liberty now finds itself vying with just Handley, James

Wood, Millbrook and Sherando for district titles and regional qualification.

With two regional-qualifying teams in most sports, the Eagles will need to best just three other schools rather than the current five to move past the district level.

Should Liberty make regionals, travel could be a significant issue as the 15-school Class 4 Region D extends from Winchester to Blacksburg, Lynchburg and Danville.

One proposal has emerged to subdivide the far-flung region into two more localized pods to limit travel for early rounds. Now that the region has been formalized, the regional membership can begin discussions on that point.

Against Liberty, Balgavy finished with 17 points, including 10 straight to open the fourth set. She also led with 21 assists to 18 by Mia Jones. Chamberlain (14 points) and Jones (nine) were the other top servers, with Falsone (17 kills) and Carlson (15) powering the attack.

Special to the Fauquier Times

Kettle Run volleyball got back on its preferred track last week.

After falling to fifth in the Northwestern District standings during a recent slump, the Cougars rebounded with a pair of league wins. Kettle Run now is tied with Sherando for fourth at 4-5, only one-half game behind No. 4 Fauquier (4-4).

The Cougars collected a 25-15, 23-25, 25-17, 25-16 home win Oct. 4 over Liberty to sweep the season series. The Cougars then earned a Volleyball standings key come-from-behind James Wood 9-0 revenge win at SheranMillbrook 6-1 do Oct. 6, prevailing FAUQUIER 4-4 27-29, 25-22, 26-24, KETTLE RUN 4-5 25-21.

Sherando 4-5 ‘We learned a lot Handley 1-6 about ourselves during LIBERTY 1-8 the mid-season losses.

It seems we have made the correct adjustments and will continue to fight for a higher spot in the district,” coach Ron Crooks said of the turnaround.

Sherando had taken a 3-2 decision in the first meeting, and the rematch began ominously for Kettle Run. The Cougars built a 21-14 margin that disappeared when the Warriors embarked on a 10-2 run to lead 24-23 and won, 29-27.

The next three sets also were tight, but the Cougars took all three for the victory.

Kettle Run battled through a spate of second-set service errors to claim a 25-22 win and tie the match. In the third set, Tessa Falsone went on a run resulting in a 12-3 margin and 26-24 set win.

Kettle Run’s Madison Wheatley (left) and Tessa Falsone (far right) set up block against Fauquier’s Leah Kelso (center).

Falsone also was a major factor at the net, recording eight of her team-high 20 kills down the stretch.

She also had eight blocks and 12 service points.

Sherando held a 17-12 fourth-set lead before Cougar Hannah Carlson ripped off eight service points en route to a clinching 25-21 decision.

Crooks said a healthier lineup, fewer floor violations and improved consistency were major factors. The Cougars’ service game also stepped up at important junctures, thanks to the work of Tori Chamberlain, Megan May and Carlson.

Haley Balgavy also had 12 points to go with 22 assists. Chamberlain scored 11 points, while ®

Fauquier stubbed its toes last Thursday at Handley. The Judges were winless in district play before a 20-25, 29-27, 25-22, 25-22 upset. The result left Fauquier with a tenuous hold on third place.

Fauquier coach Jen Linthicum later said she was feeling an uncomfortable vibration before the match.

“All of our tough losses have come immediately after a win in a big game,” Linthicum said.

“It wasn’t like we played badly, we just couldn’t get anything to go our way,” she continued, also citing the “huge” raucous pro-Handley crowd.

“Handley had absolutely nothing to lose, and we played not to lose, not to win. It’s a tough loss for sure, but definitely a learning opportunity moving forward.”

Fauquier was coming off a satisfying 3-1 Senior Night victory over Gainesville two nights earlier.

“They were able to transition the ball where we needed it to be in the moments that mattered the most,” the coach lauded. “The seniors stepped it up.”

Caroline Towle notched 19 kills, five aces and 16 digs. Emma Edwards slammed 17 kills, Therese Heisler posted five kills and three blocks and Mikayla Gilmore finished with 18 digs.

He outlined some of the other performers who would appear with Parker. “We welcomed the State Climb Silks aerial performers to Verdun during our summer concert series, and they were very well-received. While they don’t necessarily fit in the genre of music, there is a musical accompaniment to what they do that can’t be overlooked.”

Following Silks will be the Airheads, a new Fauquier rock band assembled by Jerry Hull of the Freshmakers, also a summer concert series performer. “Music has brought so much joy to my life. I am pleased to help foster the next generation of musical artists,” the Taylor Middle School science teacher and musical hobbyist said.

Modal Music of Warrenton is proud to have some of its students on the festival stage, as well. “Modal Music Studio strives to provide fun and engaging music lessons, encouraging our students to become the best they can be,” Chris Bauer, owner of Modal Music, said. We’re grateful for this opportunity Verdun has provided to get all these young performers on stage!”

Witches And Wizards Of All Kinds!

2022 Warrenton Wizard Walk comes careening into town The Warrenton Wizard Walk will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 15. 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 lots of games, music and activities, the event will expand on last year’s successful event that brought hundreds of visitors to Main Street and nearby business in Old Town Warrenton.

The Warrenton Wizard Walk will also feature themed menu items at local restaurants and two 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 anytime 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 participating in a herbology game at Skyline Hy-

droponics, 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 16 quests, have their passports stamped and returned to Town Hall will receive a commemorative coin made by local engravers at Quilting Essentials.

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.

The Warrenton Wizard Walk will take place rain or shine, with rain locations available for all outdoor entertainment.

Warrenton group provides mom-centered community MOMS, from page 22 they are all female. We encourage men/husbands to participate through activities.”

The Warrenton chapter holds three meetings throughout the week: Motivational Monday Meetup, Walk and Talk and Walk and Play. Meeting locations vary throughout the county and include the WARF, Rady Park and the Greenway.

One mild, sunny fall day in late September, 17 moms met at Rady Park for a Thursday Walk and Play.

They brought with them more than 20 children, ranging in age from newborns only a few weeks old, to toddlers and preschoolers.

The mothers themselves varied in age too. Forty-one-year-old Amy Rubio said she has “two in college and two in diapers and one in between” and laughed about how different it was being a mom in her 40s as compared to her 20s. “I worked as a registered nurse until COVID, when my fourth child was born. I was able to extend my maternity leave until my fifth child was born.

This group helps me get out and socialize,” she said.

Danielle Cassella is expecting her family’s third child on Christmas Day. She carried her 18-month-old daughter, Mary Lucia -- wearing a homemade crocheted bonnet -- on her hip while she chatted with other mothers. Meanwhile, her 2 ½-yearold son, Matthias, ran around the

playground with other children. “We own a landscaping company, and I help my husband with the business,” she said. During her limited free time, she crochets.

Alexa Pelczar has four children, aged 4 and younger. Her oldest daughter and twin daughters are in preschool a few hours each week, leaving her with a couple of precious hours with only her 9-month-old son, William.

With colder weather approaching, Quarterman will be looking for indoor venues to meet. “We have a few moms who have opened up their homes to playdates, and we are looking into area churches to lend us their space throughout the winter,” said Quarterman.

Quarterman took on managing the all-volunteer group with an already full plate. She has her 2-yearold son, is a stepmom to a 9-year-old daughter, nannies four days each week for a 1-year-old and works at Trader Joe’s twice a week in Fairfax.

She said she started the group because she saw the need.

Fellow mom Meagen Geller helps her manage the group. “I reached out to Hannah through an app called Peanut, which is Tinder for moms. We hit it off right away,” said Geller. “Meagen is my right arm and has encouraged me all along to get this group organized,” said Quarterman.

‘Classic’ foxhunter wins national championship Crane, Forever Bernardini best a competitive field to claim top title

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Mary Crane says she wasn’t expecting to win. After all, her competitors were more than 70 of the nation’s best foxhunters.

And she knows from experience how hard it is to top such an elite group – Crane had been reserve champion in the 2021 Theo Randolph Field Hunter Championship.

But, after a long week of hunting with four area packs and a grueling day of competition at the championship finals on Saturday in Middleburg, Crane and her horse, Forever Bernardini, were judged best of the best.

Crane, who splits time between Massachusetts and Upperville, says to win the historic event that for 38 years has attracted the best horseand-rider pairs from across the U.S., is a dream come true.

Forever Bernardini “is the ultimate ladies foxhunter. Owning and

hunting this horse is such a privilege,” Crane said.

To qualify for the Oct. 8 finals, riders were selected by a mounted panel of judges that followed along with them hunting with Blue Ridge, Piedmont, Rappahannock and Middleburg. At the finals, qualifiers took part in a “mock” hunt, then the top 10 performed a nine-element final test that included a dismounted leadover, a free walk through the water and a trot jump.

At the conclusion of the test, judges still couldn’t decide. They called back Crane and another competitor, Orange County Hounds rider Rae Stone on Sir Lancelot, to perform yet another test.

It made the difference – hand-gallop away from the group, jumping two individual fences and jog back.

Crane was thrilled, if a little starstruck, when after lengthy deliberation, the judges called her back on top. “I think both horses’ tests were pretty similar. It’s an amazing event.”

Forever Bernardini collected the Dr. Matthew Mackay Smith award as top-placing thoroughbred, a prize

HOME SWEET HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Noah Hall and the Eagles (1-1 district) look to continue their momentum Friday at home against James Wood (0-2) FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Eagles win 35-29 LIBERTY, from page 13

Whether you are planning to remodel your kitchen, transform your master bath, finish a basement or build an addition, you need more than a contractor. You need a partner you can trust with the possession that says the most about what you value and the way you live.

the blow and the ball popped out.”

Friday’s victory was truly inspirational as the Eagles overcame a 29-14 deficit by scoring the last 21 points. In the game’s final three minutes, Liberty changed the narrative of their season, which featured tough losses to good teams.

“We’ve just finally come together as a team in my opinion,” said senior receiver Joey Triplett, who caught the game-tying touchdown and a twopoint conversion pass early in the fourth quarter, both from star sophomore quarterback Austin Mawyer.

The winning TD came on an 18yard pass from Mawyer to Andrew Ryman with 2:54 left. Coming on fourth and 10, Mawyer was flushed out of the pocket before finding Ryman in the front part of the end zone.

“It was a broken play, they knocked our receiver down. I stepped up and took a shot,” said Mawyer, referencing a Sherando penalty on the play which would likely have continued the drive anyway.

“It was a little bit of an improv.

We called a play to the right and they did a good job of not letting Austin go to his right,” said Buzzo.

Liberty sent a strong message by scoring the opening TD on game’s first drive, going 65 yards on seven plays to lead 7-0 on Hall’s 2-yard run off a strong cut move with 9:12 left in the first quarter.

Sherando responded in two plays as quarterback Kaden Bryant hit A.J. Santiago behind the secondary for a 75-yard strike up the left sideline. The TD came just 32 seconds after the Eagles scored.

Liberty took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter thanks to another long drive that took nearly nine minutes.

Mawyer scored on a 1-yard QB sneak and Aden Peters added the kick.

Sherando scored quickly to make it 14-13 as Foster hit a big hole and raced 28 yards for a TD. The extra point kick was blocked by Dre Booth.

Sherando bolted ahead 21-14 with 5:13 left in the second quarter as Bryant hit Santiago on a long crossing route, good for a 30-yard TD. Gavyn Blye ran for two points as the Warriors took their first lead and started a run of 16 straight points.

Liberty threatened before halftime, with a Mawyer TD pass to Triplett called back by penalty.

Each team had a turnover early

in the second half, before Bryant hit the lethal Santiago for his third TD of the night on a 44-yard pass.

That play hit like a dagger, putting the Eagles in a 29-14 hole after Blye again ran for two points with 5:21 left in the third quarter.

Liberty began its comeback with a six-play, 67-yard drive, highlighted

by Mawyer’s 44-yard pass to Hall, who got open up the left sideline as Mawyer was flushed out of the pocket. Three plays later, Mawyer ran seven yards up the middle for a TD, with Peters’ kick making it 2921 with 3:01 left in the third quarter.

The Eagles stopped Sherando’s next series with a fourth down sack

by Nick Bryant at midfield. Aided by a Sherando penalty, the Eagles scored in three plays as Mawyer hit a streaking Triplett in the right back of the end zone for an 18-yard TD connection.

Needing a two-point conversion to tie, the Eagles got it as Mawyer hit Triplett in the front of the end zone to make it 29-29 with 9:43 left.

Triplett was definitely in the spotlight Friday. He was honored as Homecoming King and also took a new role booting kickoffs. “Pretty cool,” said Triplett about posing with Homecoming Queen Jayna Tumblin at halftime. “I’ve never kicked but I’m good at it,” he said.

Sherando moved into Liberty territory on its next possession, but the drive died as the Eagles made a fourth down stop at the LHS 30.

Taking over with 6:41 left, the Eagles went 70 yards in 11 plays to take the lead. There were some fortunate breaks in the drive as the Eagles recovered two of their own fumbles.

Although Mawyer found Ryman for the lead with 2:54 left, Peters’ extra point kick hit the right upright, leaving the margin at six points, 35-29.

Moments later, Sherando was on the Eagles’ doorstep after Foster’s 66-yard burst.

Buzzo thought about letting the Warriors score so Liberty would have time to get the ball back for a possible winning drive.

“We wanted to see how the first play went. We said, ‘Let’s let the defense get a play or two.’ See if the kids can make a play or get a loss,” Buzzo said.

Booth’s hit and Foster’s fumble happened moments later leading to a signature win.

“We have a 48-hour rule. The kids are supposed to enjoy it Saturday and Sunday, but Monday it’s James Wood week,” Buzzo said about Friday’s upcoming home game.

Falcons win district with perfect 7-0 mark FIELD HOCKEY, from page 13 Timberlake sent a sharp pass to Settle, who was wide open four yards out. Settle sent one timer into the cage for the winning score.

“I knew if we could get her down there, it would create an opportunity. We are versatile. Nine players have scored during field play or in shootouts, making defensive coverage difficult for the opposition,” said Settle.

“When it could be anyone because [shots] can come from all over the place, [the defense] must play a straight up game.”

Meridian penetrated the Falcon defensive circle twice in the final three minutes but could not get a shot off.

“Turf is different than grass,” she said of Liberty’s artificial surface, adding her players voiced unhappiness with their play between quarters.

Fauquier increased pressure in and around the circle in the second period resulting in three goals. Bell tallied the first goal midway through the quarter, with Camarca adding two more prior to halftime. Timberlake assisted on the first two and Lasher the third.

Timberlake also assisted Marjorie Davenport for a third period goal.

Bell and Davenport added fourth period strikes for the final 6-0 count.

Man who provided fatal drug dose to his wife sentenced to more prison time OLENSLAGER, from page 1 family members testifying on Olenslager’s behalf, Judge Richard Potter sentenced him to 5 years in prison with 3 years suspended.

Olenslager has been in custody since December 2021, so he will serve another year and three months in prison.

Howard said there were no plans to appeal Potter’s decision, which ordered a longer prison sentence than recommended by state guidelines.

The victim’s father, Sean McGarry, was the first to defend Olenslager at the hearing, telling the judge that he wished his son-in-law had never been charged at all.

Olenslager and Lydia McGarry were married in 2018 and lived with McGarry’s parents in Amissville until May 2020, when the McGarrys asked the couple to move out because of Lydia McGarry’s drug use, Sean McGarry said.

The McGarrys also had sons who were at the time 13, 14 and 14, and their parents were concerned about them being influenced by Lydia McGarry’s behavior. Olenslager’s behavior was not the cause of the move, Sean McGarry emphasized; the McGarrys would have been happy to have their son-in-law continue to live with them.

It was only after Potter asked him pointed questions, noting that Olenslager was also a drug user, that McGarry acknowledged that his

son-in-law also used drugs regularly.

McGarry said that his daughter’s drug use caused her to behave erratically. She enrolled in a rehabilitation program in Texas, and “for a time, things were much better,” he said.

But Lydia McGarry slipped back into using drugs and did not want to return to rehab, her father testified.

Kimberly McGarry, Lydia’s McGarry’s mother, expressed similar disappointment in her daughter’s drug use and behavior. She also said Olenslager wasn’t to blame in her daughter’s death. She said it was not in “Hayden’s character to bring drugs into our house. He would never do that.”

Asked if her relationship with Olenslager had changed since her daughter’s death, she said it had not.

“I want to hug him and take him out to lunch,” she said.

Olenslager’s mother testified that her son “didn’t understand” the seriousness of the couple’s drug use.

“He understands now,” she said.

The prosecutor, Chief Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Jamey Cook, argued that Olenslager had not only provided the drugs that killed his wife, but also had shown little regard for her life when he realized she was overdosing.

“The person who knew most clearly the help she needed was her husband,” she argued. “We can tell what kind of person they are by the See OLENSLAGER, page 31 OPEN HOUSE

Details of the case

By July 2021, Kenneth Hayden Olenslager and Lydia McGarry had lived together at the Red Roof Inn in Warrenton “for some time,” according to the proffer of facts agreed to by Olenslager as part of his plea agreement. McGarry was taking Xanax at the time to cope with the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, Olenslager told police, according to the proffer of evidence. But Olenslager used “a few points” of heroin each day, the document said.

The events leading to McGarry’s death began when Olenslager’s “usual [heroin] supplier stopped replying to his messages,” according to the proffer. Olenslager “asked his wife if she knew anyone.” McGarry, who “was feeling unwell that day due to withdrawal symptoms,” gave Olenslager the name of a friend who could supply them with heroin, the proffer said. Olenslager then contacted the friend, Amanda Ros, according to the proffer.

At about 6:20 p.m., Olenslager traveled across the road to the Wawa gas station, where he met Ros and paid her $250 to purchase a drug — a substance he believed was heroin, according to his statements to police as outlined in the proffer.

After snorting some of the drugs in the gas station bathroom, Olenslager “returned to the hotel room and divided the heroin with Lydia, and they both snorted at the same location,” the proffer said.

Shortly before 9 p.m., a friend of the couple became concerned about McGarry’s welfare and “pushed her way inside” the hotel room where the couple lived -- allegedly despite Olenslager’s objections. Olenslager “was wearing a backpack when he answered the door,” witnesses allegedly told detectives. There were also “several bags packed at the foot of the bed, which [the witnesses] found unusual because the couple had been residing in the room for some time,” the proffer said.

The friend found McGarry, “purple in color,” lying on the bed, the proffer said. The friend then called 911 and performed CPR on McGarry while waiting for paramedics to arrive,

according to the proffer, which added that the friend also directed another person nearby to get help from hotel staff.

Although paramedics arrived quickly, administered Narcan and performed CPR, McGarry was pronounced dead at a hospital within an hour, according to a search warrant affidavit filed by a Warrenton detective. An autopsy later found that McGarry died from an overdose of alprazolam (Xanax) and fentanyl, according to the proffer.

At the scene, Olenslager “made several conflicting statements and statements that would later be determined to be inaccurate,” the proffer said, including that McGarry had bought the drugs and that “there were no drugs in the room besides Lydia’s Xanax.”

A few days later, detectives interviewed Olenslager again, and he said that he — not McGarry — met a woman named “Amanda” at the Warrenton Wawa, purchased drugs from her and returned to the hotel, where he provided some of the drugs to McGarry. “Much of the information provided in this interview was supported by information downloaded in the defendant’s cellphone activity from July 31, 2021,” the proffer said.

This account was also confirmed by video surveillance footage from Wawa, according to the proffer.

“Ms. McGarry is not present for the transaction,” the document said.

Warrenton detectives charged Olenslager in December 2021, and he was arrested in the Eastern Shore region of Virginia. He has remained in custody since then.

Ros was charged with felony drug distribution and missed a court hearing in April. She was arrested last month and is currently being held in custody as she awaits a Dec. 21 trial on one felony count of distributing a schedule I or II drug in connection with the incident involving Olenslager.

Olenslager’s attorney, Blair Howard, said after the sentencing hearing that the real culprit in the death of McGarry is the person who sold Olenslager the drugs. “Fentanyl is tantamount to poison,” he said.

Whitney State Forest will be closed intermittently for logging operations

Fauquier County donates timber sale proceeds to VDOF

Beginning this month, the Virginia Department of Forestry will conduct intermittent closures of the Whitney State Forest near Warrenton for ongoing logging operations.

Mature loblolly pine, yellow-poplar and black walnut will be harvested across an 18-acre area of the forest

over the next several months, according to a press release from the VDOF. Visitors to the state forest may check the agency’s website for potential closures before planning a visit. Jack Kauffman, local state forest manager, can be contacted at 540-395-1226 for more information.

“To further support the Virginia Department of Forestry’s maintenance and management of the Whitney State Forest, Fauquier

County is donating the proceeds from the timber harvest back to the agency,” said Fauquier County Administrator Paul S. McCulla.

“These funds will be put to effective use to improve and protect the Whitney State Forest for all residents and visitors.”

State forests are self-supporting, working forests (no taxpayer funds are spent for maintenance activities).

Encompassing 26 forests totaling 74,286 acres, Virginia’s state forest system was created as a way for the

commonwealth to manage working forestland in order to provide a consistent supply of timber, the press release explained.

Kauffman added, “VDOF staff will use this rare window of opportunity after harvest to treat invasive species such as wisteria, multiflora rose, wineberry, Japanese stilt grass and kudzu. Also, to aid in the restoration of the species, we will replant the area with native shortleaf pine seedlings, which once covered vast areas along the East Coast.”

OBITUARIES Donald Carter Brown

Thomas Scott Trautman

Donald Carter Brown passed away peacefully on October 5, 2022, surrounded by his family at the home of his daughter, Sandie Nettles, in Ravenel SC, after a lengthy battle with kidney failure. Born on April 23, 1935, in Washington, DC to parents Walter Angus Brown, Jr. and Lillian Shoemaker Brown, Don spent his childhood in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He attended Stuyvesant Preparatory School in Warrenton, Virginia and graduated from the University of Richmond in 1960. After a short stint in the US Army, he joined his older brother Walter “Terry” Angus Brown, III. and father in the family Insurance and Real Estate business in Washington DC. In 1974, Don took over the insurance portion of the company and moved his office to Virginia. Don said countless times “working in my office was the best time of my life.” As President and manager of Brown Insurance Agency in Vienna, Virginia, Don’s employees, and their families grew to become devoted life-long friends. Don remained especially close to Patty Hull and Deanna Kessler and their families; these are people he loved immensely. He was a well-known and respected business leader in Vienna, Virginia. He was a member of the Vienna Rotary Club District 7610 and was a proud supporter of all things Rotary. Don was the Rotarian of the Year in 1996 and served as the President from 1999-2000. Don sold his beloved business in 2001 to begin his retirement.

Don and Nancy Nelson Brown married in 1958 and were married for 37 years. Don is survived by two daughters, Laurie Brown of Seattle, Washington, and Sandie Brown Nettles of Ravenel, SC, along with her husband Jim Nettles, and Sandies two children, Don’s grandchildren Tyler Coons and Summer Coons, as well as his sister Carol McDermott and her children Debbie, Wendy and Kim, sister in-law Nancy Brown and her children Steven Brown and Karen Davidson. In 1967, he answered the call when a 12-year-old Jay Little needed a father and since that day Don has been Jay’s “best man” literally and figuratively; these two men were not just best friends but truly father and son. Don married Patricia Mellody Brown (Pat) in 1995 and together they led a life full of love and laughter, the two were always holding hands happy to be anywhere if they were together. Sadly, his beloved Pat passed away on August 6, 2021, after which Don moved to Ravenel, South Carolina to be with his daughter, Sandie, and her family. Don also had a close and loving relationship with Pat’s children Jennifer Jacob (Ken) and Maureen Mellody (Todd) and their children, Don was immensely proud of Pat’s children and their children whom he loved and considered his own.

A lifelong and very dedicated Washington Redskins fan, Don loved talking about all sports and particularly enjoyed telling stories of former Redskins’ players Sonny Jurgensen, John Riggins, Billy Kilmer, Robert Griffin III, and Joe Theismann. He loved boating and fishing and spent his last days fishing for and catching sheepshead off the dock of his daughter’s home. In his younger years, he was a superior athlete having attended the University of Richmond on an athletic scholarship he won countless awards and trophies, setting records that to this day remain unbroken. Don’s strong athletic abilities were in different arenas including football, track, basketball, tennis, and golf.

Don was a loving, devoted friend, husband, father, and grandfather.

One of his favorite activities to do with friends and family was to enjoy a blue crab feast, any size crab he enjoyed but when jumbos were available, he was an incredibly happy man! Don had a gift of gab and for making people laugh. Don joyfully remembered all special occasions, birthdays and holidays with thoughtful notes and cards. Don touched so many people in his life and in return, countless individuals cared for him and deeply loved him. Don is now at peace, happily holding his beloved Pat’s hand once again. We are all better people for having known him and loved him. Don will always remain in our hearts as one does not forget a man such as he.

Don is preceded in death by his loving parents, his adored wife Pat (d.

2021) and his cherished brother Terry (d. 2007).

A memorial service for Don led by his son the Reverend Jay Little Brown will be at his daughter Sandie’s home in Ravenel, SC on Saturday, October 15, 2022, at 12 noon followed by a luncheon. A second memorial to scatter the combined ashes of Don and Pat will be later in Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia.

Thomas Scott Trautman, a Vietnam veteran, a cattle farmer, a passionate lifelong tennis player and a long-time Fauquier County resident, died on Sept. 28, 2022 at Fairfax Hospital.

He was 77.

Mr. Trautman, who lived in Rectortown, Virginia at the time of his death, was born in Pensacola, Florida on Sept. 17, 1945, the son of career Navy man John Robert Trautman and Mary Holzer Trautman.

As a military family, they lived in a number of locations around the country, including Hawaii. Mr. Trautman was a graduate of Punahou School in Honolulu, the same institution that lists among its graduates President Barack Obama, golfer Michelle Wie and philanthropist Steve Case.

Mr. Trautman was a fine athlete at an early age, playing on a Hawaiian base-ball team that advanced to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania when he was 12. He played baseball at Punahou, as well.

He graduated from William & Mary in 1967. He was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and a pitcher on the school’s baseball team.

He always joked that one of his main claims to fame included pitching in a game at the Naval Academy and hitting future football Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach in the foot with a wild pitch.

Mr. Trautman was a member of the school’s ROTC program, and not long after graduation, he joined the U.S. Army, where he trained as a helicopter pilot. He flew a number of helicopter missions in his tour of duty in Vietnam, many of them to rescue wounded soldiers in the field.

When he was transferred back to the U.S., he was stationed in Savannah, Georgia, where he was a flight instructor until being honorably discharged. Before going overseas, he married Betsy Walker. They eventually divorced and their two children, Brett Overton Trautman and Virginia Elizabeth Trautman, preceded Mr. Trautman in death.

After leaving the military, Mr. Trautman moved to the Warrenton area and worked as a mortgage broker for several firms, including The Fauquier Bank and the Briner Mortgage Company.

In the mid-1980s, he purchased Windfield Farm in The Plains, where he changed careers and began to raise Black Angus cattle until he retired in 2015. He often said that working on the farm and being in the cattle business were among the great joys of his life.

Throughout his adult life, Mr. Trainman was a highly accomplished tennis player. He was a member of the Middleburg Tennis Club and Chestnut Forks Athletic Club in Warrenton. A tenacious competitor, he regularly represented both in matches against other clubs, and he won a number of tournaments at those two facilities and elsewhere, playing singles, doubles and mixed doubles.

Mr. Trautman was a friendly, approachable, gregarious man with a delicious sense of humor.

“Tom never met a stranger and he treated every day as a gift,” said Chip Maloney, the owner of Chestnut Forks. “Throughout our 40-plus year friendship, I met more people because of Tom, who was far more outgoing than I am....He was an exceptional athlete who excelled at tennis, basketball, pool, ping pong, softball. Very competitive but he always displayed great sportsmanship. Tom is one of the best people I’ve ever known and a friend for the ages.”

Mr. Trautman is survived by the long-time love of his life, Elizabeth Lawrence of Warrenton, his sister, Linda Sullivan of Appleton, Wisconsin; his daughter, Lily Elizabeth Trautman of Warrenton and three grandchildren, Brett Cooper DeBergh and Sophia Elizabeth DeBergh of Ladera, California and Rain Elizabeth Trautman of Warrenton.

A viewing and celebration of life service will be held at the Royston Funeral Home in Marshall on Sunday, Oct. 23 starting at noon. A reception will follow at the Middleburg Tennis Club.

Memorial donations in Mr. Trautman’s name can be made to Boulder Crest Retreat for veterans and first responders at PO Box 117, Bluemont, VA 20135.

DEATH WHILE ABROAD Sometimes the death of a loved one happens unexpectedly, away from home.

When a person dies while traveling abroad, certain steps must be taken according to local laws. When the deceased is a U.S. citizen, the Bureau of Consulate Affairs helps the family. They contact the next-of-kin to inform them of the death and provide information for returning the remains to the United States or how to plan a local burial. The Bureau also helps the family communicate with the correct offices in the foreign country. Once a local death certificate is issued, an embassy or consulate can prepare a “Consular Report of a Death of an American Abroad,” which can be used in U.S. courts to settle the estate.

When funeral arrangements must unexpectedly be made away from home, MOSER FUNERAL HOME will assist you in any way that we can. If a family member dies while traveling outside the United States, the U.S. embassy will come to your assistance. Call us immediately when a death occurs abroad. We are well versed in the procedures for returning the deceased to the United States. To learn more about our funeral services, please call (540) 347-3431. Please stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton.
