Francis challenges Sutphin for Ward 1 seat Development is a key issue in council’s only contested race

by T ate H ewitt

Staff Writer

The race for Ward 1 town councilor in Warrenton may center on where voters stand on development.

That’s where incumbent Heather Sutphin is being challenged by Roy Francis, in a district that has been the focus of two anti-development battles: the addition of apartment buildings and townhouses to Warrenton Village Center and the proposed Amazon Data Center.

Sutphin voted in favor of both projects. Sutphin, a lifelong resident of Warrenton, ran for town council in 2019 after serving as a member of the transit safety committee and as a volunteer for several town organizations.

A real estate agent, Sutphin believes the town should have a hand in new growth and development.

Paying for capital investments as well as regular town maintenance is no easy job when residents almost uniformly oppose property tax increases, she said.

The revenue from developments like the Amazon data center could help pay for those expenditures, Sutphin said.

Francis, on the other hand, is adamantly opposed to potential projects

“I’m just adamantly opposed to it,” Francis said of the Amazon data center, and said he would vote against the data center if the courts returned the proposal to the Warrenton Town Council.

“It’s one of the first things they say, ‘Can we stop Amazon?’” Francis said of prospective voters.

Francis, the president of North Rock HOA, has lived in Warrenton for six years and in Fauquier County for more than two decades.

Protect Fauquier, a local nonprofit preservation group and vocal Amazon opponent, has endorsed Francis. If elected, he could join William Semple and Eric Gagnon of Wards 2 and 5, who have consistently voted against development, to oppose Amazon and other projects.

That could change the direction of a town wrestling between a housing crisis and its small-town identity.

“My opponent pretty much says no to everything,” Sutphin said of Francis.

Sutphin said the current town council has faced a lot of hard decisions after years of disinvestment in town services and utilities — including the approval to spend $80 million to update Warrenton’s wastewater treatment plant.

“The past council has allowed things to get this bad,” Sutphin said, “We’re still playing catch-up.”

But Francis is concerned that the data-center industry might be a bubble and described new residential development as “an unnecessary strain” on an already weakened infrastructure.

He would like to pause approvals for future developments until planned up-

dates to the wastewater treatment plant are completed. “I think that’s a better time to consider these projects,” Francis said.

“I trust the town staff, and they told us there was enough water,” Sutphin said.

She said Stephen Friend, the director of public utilities, has been consulted on each new development as part of the town approval process.

Despite his desire to hold off, Francis said he was genuinely concerned about the lack of “attainable” homes — a term he prefers rather than “affordable.”

“What you need is a neighborhood of starter homes,” Francis said. “It was a boon for me when I grew up.”

That might not be an option in a town that has very little land left for by-right development of single-family homes. Francis is not sold on other options, such as apartments or cottages, also known as ADUs, built as second living spaces on shared properties.

If elected, Francis would be joined by two new council members, Larry Kovalik (Ward 3) and Michelle O’Halloran (Ward 4). Both are running unopposed.

Like Francis, Kovalik and O’Halloran have voiced concerns about developments’ strain on water supply and aging infrastructure.

“If I don’t win, I won’t go away,” Sutphin said. “Who knows? I might be the first female mayor one day.”

Council voted to update sewage treatment plant Leftover federal funds to help replace antiquated equipment

by T ate H ewitt

Staff Writer

The Warrenton Town Council will use leftover COVID-era federal funds to pay for updates at the town’s ailing sewage treatment plant.

Council members voted unanimously Tuesday night, Oct. 8 to shift $830,000 leftover from the $10.4 million it originally received in federal American Rescue Plan Act to replace equipment at the plant.

The money must be used by Dec. 31 or the town will have to return the remainder to the federal government.

after repairs have been long delayed.

Last year, the town approved a plan that will take five years and an estimated $80.1 million to restore the plant to proper working order.

In 2023, the town council allocated about $4.5 million in federal funds toward restoring the plant.

It also has raised new funds through last year’s 23% water and sewer rate hike, which the town council approved in its fiscal 2024 budget.

This latest allotment will help pay for a new primary clarifier. The large tank marks the first step in the wastewater treatment process where heavy solids and grease are separated from wastewater. The current clarifier is 84 years old, one of many original pieces of equipment at a plant that was built in the WWII era.

“This is like a living museum,” said Stephen Friend, the town’s director of public utilities, while giving a tour of the

plant to The Fauquier Times.

The leftover federal funds will help reduce the overall cost to replace the tank, which in conjunction with replacing a sludge pump station is expected to cost $6.3 million.

According to town staff, $5.4 million has already been dedicated to that part of the project.

The replacement is part of a larger project to update equipment at the plant, which Friend estimates will cost around $14 million.

The budget for fiscal year 2025 already includes over $12.5 million for the project.

WGK Construction LLC of Chantilly is already under contract for the project, according to Town Manager Frank Cassidy.

The Plains council candidates look to the future In 2025, the town will update its comprehensive plan

by A imee O’G rady

Contributing Writer

Three candidates are running for three open seats on the town council in The Plains this November, while Mayor Lori Sission is running for re-election unopposed.

Bruce LeLacheur and C. Robin Grant Melton are current council members seeking another term and are joined on the ballot by newcomer Riley Berg.

The town is planning an update of its comprehensive plan in 2025, the first update in 20 years.

Sisson said she ran for mayor as a way to give back to the town she has lived in all her life. She said she hopes to “help bring modern amenities to the community while preserving our small-town charm.”

“The town is working on a preservation plan, a new improved and more available website for residents,” she said. “Our new town hall center is intended for community members to have better access to elected officials.

We are working towards making the town hall a gathering space for everyone.”

LeLacheur said he came to the Plains 40 years ago and learned about the town’s governing processes as his wife, Enid Adams, went through the process for a special use permit to open an art studio. He later served on the board of zoning appeals, the planning commission and the comprehensive

Robin Melton

plan task force. He was first appointed to an unexpired term on council and then was elected in 2020.

“I decided to seek a second term on the town council this year to help implement some of the town’s unfinished projects, such as addressing the 2025 comprehensive plan and better address the needs of the town in coming years,” he said.

Melton, who also was appointed to fill an unexpired term on council, previously served on the town’s planning

commission and architectural review board.

“I don’t have a set agenda coming on board,” she said. “Truth be told, I’m stepping out on faith and willing to serve in my community where needed.”

Berg and Melton said they were both motivated to run to support the community and preserve its character.

“I was encouraged to run for Town Council by neighbors who, like me, believe The Plains is a great place to live,” Berg said. “My priority will be to help maintain its special character so that future generations will be just as lucky to call this village home.”

Fauquier conservationist Hope Porter celebrates 100th birthday

by Tate Hewitt

Staff Writer

Hope Porter was born into a much different world a century ago.

She was a baby in a basket when she arrived in Fauquier County, a place dominated by apple orchards and hay.

As a child, “I could get on my horse and ride in almost any direction,” Porter said. She would ride for fun, meet up with friends, even ride to school.

“It gave you a fiat, an independence,” she said, “And that gave me a feeling for the land that I might not have had.”

Porter turned 100 on Sept. 25 and that feeling for the land has never faded, even as horses gave way to cars and suburbia moved into the farmland.

“Before World War II, you never

saw a subdivision. The first subdivision I saw was outside of Washington,” Porter said. “I remember thinking, isn’t that strange, all those houses so close together?”

When the subdivision idea arrived in Fauquier County, she fought it. She battled against North Wales, a development that would have more than doubled Fauquier County’s population in the late 1960s. She founded a conservation movement that became Citizens for Fauquier County. That organization honored Porter at a fundraiser Sept. 29 at Highland School.

After North Wales, she helped organize another effort to block a Disney theme park planned for Haymarket, promoted the broad use of easements to preserve open space across the county and was named Citizen of the

NEWS Decade in 1989 by this newspaper. She continues to fiercely oppose changes she believes would harm the character of Fauquier County.

But before that North Wales success came a failure against Bethel Academy, a 149-lot development planned in Warrenton in the 1960s.

Porter watched as Dr. Murdoch Head, the founder of Airlie Foundation and Conference Center, tried to dissuade people from buying those lots. Among his strategies: a hog pen across the road from the development, employing used school buses and a 6-foot sign that said “Bethel Valley Hog Ranch. Mixed Breeds Bought, Sold, Traded.”

“The Washington Post had an editorial called, ‘Oink Oink’ and it said, ‘A few grunts today may save Fauquier County groans in the future,’” Porter recently told the Fauquier Times. Even so, the subdivision went forward.

And that awakened Fauquier County residents to the downsides of development.

into Warrenton’s water supply,” Porter said. “It got everybody going.”

The developments in Fairfax Coun-

ty soon stretched into Loudoun and Prince William. Less than a decade after Bethel Academy was approved, the 4,200-acre North Wales development was proposed. If built, it could add 31,500 residents to Warrenton.

Porter said that was actually good luck.

“We could have been nibbled to death, a subdivision here, a subdivision there,” Porter said. But the massive size of the North Wales plans got people’s attention.

“It got a lot of people involved who wouldn’t have been interested,” Porter said.

Porter recounted the victory from her home on Wildcat Mountain, her family’s estate. She moved away for 20 years, leaving a younger family member in charge. Now she’s back, dealing with a backyard of overgrown gardens and loose retaining walls. She’s whipping it back into shape, dragging away pruned branches behind her golf cart.

Today, Porter is a life member of the Warrenton Garden Club and has won the Garden Club of America’s GCA Zone VII Conservation Award. But when she was fighting the North Wales development, the local garden club was on the other side.

“I had the president of the Warrenton Garden Club, of which I was the youngest member, call me up and say, ‘Hope, for God’s sake, stop going on about this North Wales thing. You’re giving the garden club a bad name,’” Porter recounted.

Today, Porter’s view on gardening mirrors her actions on development: It’s not addition so much as it is subtraction. She has her eyes on crabgrass, dandelions and maybe data centers, which she calls “these Amazon things.”

“I’m not planting anything,” Porter said, “I’m eliminating rather than planting.”

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dialogues centered on civility crucial for community I am writing to express my utmost appreciation to the Rotary of Warrenton for organizing the exceptional event of Civility in Our Community on Sept. 19.

The event featured a panel discussion with esteemed guests including Dan Buccino, a licensed and certified clinical social worker and director of the John Hopkins Civility Initiative; Fauquier County Sheriff Jeremy Falls; Major Warner, superintendent of Fauquier County Schools; and Brandon Bastian, executive director of Piedmont Peace Center.

The insights shared by the panelists

shed light on the importance of civility in fostering a harmonious community and highlighting the significance of respectful communication and understanding among individuals. The thoughtful discussions and practical tips provided during the presentation have proven to be invaluable in promoting a culture of respect and cooperation within our society.

I wholeheartedly recommend that citizens and elected officials alike attend a similar presentation in the future. It is crucial for community members to actively engage in dialogues centered around civility and

empathy to cultivate a more inclusive and compassionate environment for everyone.

I would like to extend my gratitude to the Rotary of Warrenton for organizing such an enlightening event and to the esteemed panelists for their valuable contributions to the discussion.

Let us all work together toward building a community where mutual respect and understanding prevail, fostering a brighter future for all.

– Michele G. O’Halloran, Candidate for Town Council Ward 4, Warrenton

Vote to protect our small-town values Early voting kicked off Friday, Sept. 20.

Here in Warrenton, we have a chance to bring some fresh air to our Town Council.

The past four years have not lived up to the small-town values we treasure. There has been too much secrecy, withholding of information, disregard for citizen views, nondisclosure agreements with Amazon, conflicts of interest, and, most objectionable of all, a town manager who helped pave the way for Amazon and then went to work for Amazon.

On top of that, we have seen a rush to approve too much new development, too fast, while our water and sewer facilities and our roads are not ready.

We can do better.

To our fellow residents of Warrenton: Please join with us and vote for candidates who are committed to listening to citizens, upholding the Freedom of Information Act and exercising caution on growth and development. These candidates believe in our small town and small-town values.

These five candidates will make you proud.

Please vote early and vote for: • Roy Francis - Ward 1 • Bill Semple - Ward 2 • Larry Kovalik - Ward 3 • Michele O’Halloran - Ward 4 • Eric Gagnon - Ward 5

Kaine, Cao present contrasting visions for reproductive health care When it comes to our freedom to make our own reproductive health care decisions, the differences between Sen. Tim Kaine and his opponent, Republican candidate Hung Cao, are profound.

Sen. Kaine strongly supports a woman’s right to the full range of reproductive health care services.

Immediately after the June 2022 Dobbs decision repealing Roe v. Wade, which threatened a woman’s right to obtain a legal abortion, Sen. Kaine introduced a bill — the Reproductive Freedom for All Act — that protects contraception access and legal abortion.

Sen. Kaine also introduced the Right to Contraception Act in July 2022, which would legally protect health care providers who offer contraceptives — both medications and devices — to prevent pregnancy. Kaine has consistently opposed legislation that would prohibit federal funding of Planned Parenthood.

By contrast, Republican candidate Hung Cao is anti-choice and supports a national law to define life beginning at conception, banning abortion nationwide with no exceptions and putting IVF and contraception at risk. He stated that he was “thrilled” that Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Any woman or man who is concerned about their freedom to avoid pregnancy or plan a family would be wise to carefully consider each candidate’s position on the vital issue of access to reproductive health care services, free of government interference.

SPORTS KETTLE RUN GOLF

At last, Cougars make state tourney Wargo shoots 72 to win individual title, Roeber is 6th

by M atthew P roctor

Sports Editor

After years of heartbreak and near misses, the Kettle Run High golf team is headed to the state tournament for the first time in school history.

The Cougars placed in the top two at the four-team Class 3 Region B tournament on Oct. 7, shooting 326 at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club in Front Royal.

Meridian (319) won the meet and also advanced, followed by Culpeper (332) and Goochland (338).

Senior Jack Wargo led the way for Kettle Run, shooting 72 to capture the region individual title and become Kettle Run’s first individual regional champion. Meridian’s Henry Brown was second with 76.

Kettle Run senior Case Roeber shot 80 for sixth place, with senior Wyatt Carver (86) and freshman Roman Drake (88) also contributing.

“It’s great to finally get over the hump. I feel like that’s been a monkey on our back for a while,” said coach Chris Ferrell, whose Cougars finished third at regionals in 2021 and 2023 to narrowly miss the state tournament.

Fauquier senior Mason Markell is also heading to states after shooting a 77 to take fifth and qualify as an individual.

Kettle Run edged Meridian for the Northwestern District crown at Shenandoah Valley on Sept. 26, but conditions were trickier for regionals as it was cold and windy.

Although Meridian outshot Kettle Run to win the region crown, the Cougars are elated to earn their state berth.

“Adding the pressure and elements to it made everyone a lot closer than normal, but that’s how it is every year in regionals. That’s why we’d always been close but never done it, but it felt good to finally be on the other side this time,”

SUBMITTED

The Kettle Run High golf team is headed to states for the first time in school history. From left are assistant coach Dale Edwards, junior Luke Wargo, senior Jack Wargo, coach Chris Ferrell, senior Case Roeber, senior Wyatt Carver, freshman Roman Drake and sophomore Nate Fortune.

Ferrell said.

As Kettle Run’s No. 1 player, Wargo was paired with the other No. 1s in the first group. After a slow start, he soon found his rhythm and dominated his opponents, beating Meridian’s Noah Peng (80) by eight strokes and Culpeper’s Matthew Amos and Goochland’s Lance Coleman (82) by 10.

“He was two or three over through four holes, but then played the rest of the way a couple under par,” Ferrell said.

Peng edged Wargo by one stroke for the Northwestern District title. This time Wargo came out on top. “(Not winning the district title) was still under his skin a little bit,” said Ferrell. “I know he wanted to beat Noah really bad, and he was satisfied that he beat him by as much as he did.”

While Kettle Run received solid scores from No. 2 Roeber and No. 3 Carver, higher rounds from No. 4 Luke Wargo (95) and No. 5 Nate Fortune (89) meant the Cougars needed a clutch finish from No. 6 Drake as only the top four rounds count towards a team’s score.

Drake came in at one over par through the final five holes to hold off Culpeper for second place.

“The freshman came through. I’m proud of Roman for hanging in there.

I told them all at the beginning of the round, ‘These things always tighten up.

Just remember, every shot counts no matter what you’re at.’ He did a really good job because he got off to a really rough start,” Ferrell said.

The Class 3 state meet was Tuesday at Heritage Oaks Golf Course in Har-

risonburg, where Kettle Run battled Lafayette, Liberty Christian, Lord Botetourt, Meridian, New Kent, Pulaski County, and defending state champion Western Albemarle for the state crown.

None of the Cougars or Ferrell have ever played at Heritage Oaks, so their practice round on Monday was their first look at the course.

“On any given day we’ve shown we have the ability to go really low. Our team score at districts was 292 and I think it’s going to take something 300 or less to win it if we want to compete with the Western Albemarles of the world,” Ferrell said.

“I don’t see why we can’t hang with any of them. Top three would be really cool and if we put it all together, you never know what could happen.”

Honor the Memory of a Loved One

Zoraida Duca

formerly of Johnstown, Pennsylvania Zoraida Duca, formerly of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, more recently Marshall, Virginia where she had been living with her son and his family was called peacefully to the Lord on October 10th, 2024 from Little Sisters of the Poor Nursing Home in Pittsburgh, at age 90. Born Zoraida GutierrezSanchez on May 10th, 1934, in Salinas, Puerto Rico to Jose Gutierrez and Elisa Sanchez, preceded in death by her parents; husband, Dr. Robert Duca of Johnstown; brothers, Carlos and Luis; and daughter Elisa.

Survived by her 3 sons: Dr. Robert Jr. (Lourdes) of Vienna, Virginia; Frederick (Pam) of Warrenton, Virginia; and Dr. Mark (Megan) of Oakdale, Pennsylvania. Also survived by her brother Ismael of Cayey, Puerto Rico; grandchildren: Giovanni, Robert III, Joseph (Savanna), Michael (Mary Katherine), Daniel, Elisa, Christopher, Katherine; and great-grandchildren: Mia and Alina; in addition to numerous loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Growing up in rural Puerto Rico, the seeds were planted early for kindness, compassion and an exemplary work ethic as a young girl tending to farm animals and studying to master a second language. Her strong will to achieve eventually led her to a camera sales position at the US Army base at Fort Buchanon in San Juan. It was there she would sell a camera to a young G.I. from Johnstown, Robert. After 2 supervised dates by her grandmother, they would be wed for the next 60 years. Persevering through the culture shock of moving to a new country, mastering a second language and the tragic loss of an infant daughter, she went on to raise a loving family where education was always priority number one. While working full-time, she completed a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. From there her professional career blossomed, becoming a Spanish teacher at St. Patrick in Moxham, followed by a two-decade career as Spanish teacher at Bishop McCort High School in Johnstown. Educating legions of students about her passion, the Spanish language, culture and civilization, she'll be fondly remembered for leading her annual, overseas Spanish Club trips with her students to Spain and Mexico. After retirement, she remained vibrant traveling the world, teaching Spanish to friends, serving as a Eucharistic Minister at St. Benedict Parish in Geistown, counselor at Birthright of Johnstown and even winning an over-65 10k race.

"Sory," or Aunt Sory as she was known to friends and family will always be affectionately remembered for her reserved demeanor yet overwhelming kindness and being the adult the grandchildren loved playing with as if she was just another one of the kids.

The family would like to thank all of her many friends, clergy and colleagues who made her life so special. In addition the family would like to thank Blue Ridge Christian Home in Bealeton, VA; her Virginia in home caregiver Esther Dodson; and the Sisters and staff of the Little Sisters of the Poor, for their overwhelming dedication, compassion and care.

Visitation was Tuesday, October 15, 4-7 p.m. at Little Sisters of the Poor Pittsburgh at Sts. Peter and Paul Home, 1028 Benton Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15212-1607, and Wednesday 4-7 p.m. at the Frank Duca Funeral Home, Westmont Chapel, 1622 Menoher Blvd., Johnstown, PA 15905. Mass of Christian Burial will be held Thursday, October 17, at 10 a.m. at St. Benedict Catholic Church, 2310 Bedford Street, Johnstown, PA 15904, Rev. David S. Peles. Interment will be held at St. Anthony Cemetery, Geistown.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Little Sisters of the Poor in supporting their mission of providing care to the elderly poor (https://littlesistersofthepoorpittsburgh.org/donate/).

classifieds@fauquier.com

After the gifts of food and flowers have disappeared, a lasting grief or remembrance gift can be deeply meaningful for a grieving friend as they move forward with their life.

A gift that is specific and personal to them or their lost loved one is usually a welcome reminder. A “pennies from heaven” piggy bank helps collect pennies meant to represent reminders left by their loved one.

Self-care gift boxes contain items like candles and bath salts to promote relaxation and rejuvenation, and these can be purchased once or as a subscription. You can even have a star officially named after someone or create a personalized map of the stars on their birth or death date to memorialize them.

When a death occurs, your primary responsibility is to yourself and the ones you love. There are a number of things that require attention simultaneously. Regardless of the day or hour, MOSER FUNERAL HOME is always prepared to respond to your needs quickly and competently. To learn more about the funeral services at our funeral home, please call (540) 347-3431.

We welcome you to 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.

“Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never The Wonder Years want to lose.”
