Fauquier Hospital faces bigger Medicare penalty than any other Virginia hospital

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Fauquier Hospital will lose 2.85% of the money it would otherwise get for treating Medicare patients because too many patients with common conditions were readmitted to a hospital within 30 days of being discharged from Fauquier. Fauquier Hospital’s penalty is eight times higher than the state’s average and close to the maximum federal penalty of 3%.

See PENALTY, page 8

Challenger Renard Carlos was neck and neck with incumbent Mayor Carter Nevill on Tuesday evening in the hard-fought race for mayor of Warrenton. As of 10 p.m., Nevill had 2,050 votes, 18 more than Carlos’ 2,032.

All votes cast Tuesday were counted, as were four of five absentee precincts, but no final results were available by press time. More than one-third of the votes cast in Fauquier County were absentee.

How many absentee ballots were cast in the Warrenton mayoral race was uncertain.

The proposed Amazon data center was the most contentious issue in the race. Carlos appeared to lean against allowing Amazon to build See ELECTION, page 4

Candidates outspend predecessors in races for Warrenton mayor and Fauquier school board

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Because of a high readmission rate, Fauquier Hospital will lose close to 3% of Medicare reimbursements.

In the contentious race for the mayor of Warrenton, incumbent Mayor Carter Nevill and his challenger, Council Member Renard Carlos (at large), each raised more than twice as much money as mayoral candidates raised during the most recent mayoral race, in 2018.

Willow Animal Hospital opens at Vint Hill

By Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

Drs. Kent Smith and Andrea Ballou recently opened the doors to their new veterinary clinic in Vint Hill. Their very first patients, before the doors were officially open, were from a colony of feral cats living in the bushes outside their building.

“They were taken care of for over nine years by volunteers who call themselves the Covert Cat Ladies,” said Jessica Christian, Willow Animal Hospital nurse. “There are three remaining cats, Panda, Midge and Ruby. Dr. Smith and I thought it was perfect we were coming to a location that already had a colony established. It’s something we promote and see a need for in society to help decrease the rodent population; so, I feel like the cats helped seal the deal with Willow in the colony that we began caring for,” she added. This colony has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated.

While Willow Animal Hospital offers general and emergency care for small animals during its regular business hours and helps with after-hours emergency care when needed, the practice also offers additional community services.

“Willow Hospital offers trap, spay, neuter services to help manage feral cat colonies,” he said.

Willow Animal Hospital also works with lower-income, pet-owning families on veterinary care for their pets. “We want to make sure every family that has a pet member has access to affordable pet care,” Smith said. He aims to make spay/neuter and routine vaccine costs affordable for all pet owners.

Ballou’s specialty is canine rehabilitation, uniquely available at the new clinic. “I offer the equivalent of human physical therapy for dogs recovering from injury or surgery,” she said. She received advanced laser- and hands-on therapy certification for her rehabilitation services.

Dr. Kent Smith works with a patient (left); feral cats cared for by the staff at Willow Animal Hospital are suspicious of the camera pointed at them (right).

“We look forward to meeting members of the community and sharing information about our practice,” Dr. Smith said.

Dr. Smith has been watching Vint Hill as a possible location for the clinic for several years. Between the cat colony welcoming committee and the dog park just down the road, all signs pointed to this being an ideal location. “This community could benefit from a veterinary clinic. Overall, the county has been warm and welcoming to our business. We are very excited to be part of the Vint Hill community and provide the highest standard of care veterinary services with compassion,” he said.

Dr. Smith was raised nearby in Manassas and has a lifelong fascination with animals. His bio reads that he began bicycling — rain or shine — to volunteer at Battlefield Animal Clinic when he was 12 years old. He was eventually hired by Morganna Animal Clinic in Manassas, where he advanced from kennel assistant to veterinary technician.

Throughout his career, Smith has looked beyond his practice to his community to offer veterinary services. He has traveled to impoverished

communities to donate surgeries and pet wellness clinics. Dr. Smith lives in Nokesville with his daughter, Averi, on a small farm with dogs, cats, miniature donkeys, horses and goats.

Dr. Ballou has a similar life-long interest in animals and has owned dogs, cats, gerbils, guinea pigs and a ball python. She began as a kennel attendant and shadowed at a local veterinary clinic while she earned her bachelor’s degree. She followed this with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the University of Missouri, where she pursued extra courses in ultrasound and animal behavior. She has a musculoskeletal emphasis on her services at Willow Animal Hospital.

Ballou lives in Nokesville with her husband, their three dogs and two cats. She enjoys dog sports with her pack, including agility, flyball, lure coursing and events like Canine Biathlon.

The study was done by Polysonics, an acoustics consulting company in Warrenton. Company president Gordon Jacobs said Friday that Amazon had asked for an update, and his company forwarded “findings and information that we had gathered.” He said the information was not “fully vetted, and it wasn’t an official report.”

He said their final report would be more voluminous and carefully documented, but he could not estimate when it would be ready. He did say the final report would assure the town that noise limits would be met, because his firm, in addition to measuring noise issues, helps clients meet legal limits.

One unsettled question is which table of noise limits in the zoning code applies to the project; one is stricter than the other. Amazon has said it is seeking a town staff ruling on which table to use, as well as interpretation of zoning code language that would penalize a data center for making a “hum or screech.”

Transmission lines

County residents are also concerned about 230 kilovolts high-powered transmission lines that Dominion Energy has said it would need to run to a substation at the Amazon site to power the 220,000-square-foot data center. Maps released by Dominion in the spring and summer showed the lines crossing neighborhoods in the New Baltimore area, which ramped up protests from residents.

But recent developments have muddied the water. In its Oct. 28 submission, Amazon declared that “no electric substation” would be permitted on its site, which could eliminate the need for the high-powered transmission lines to Blackwell Road and allay residents’ fears. Amazon also said in its filing that it “proposes to request and pay for the undergrounding of all electrical lines” – presumably smaller distribution lines – from an off-site substation serving the facility. But, it adds, “final decision on this rests with others.”

Doc Snyder: The ‘acorn doctor’ enabled family trees to grow

By Aimee O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

The sparkle in his eye has always betrayed what Dr. David “Doc” Snyder witnessed as a young man and a new physician during his 12 months in Vietnam.

Snyder was working at a hospital when he became determined to get to Vietnam. He had one year to go before he would be sent over, but he felt that was too long, “I had to make a deal,” said Snyder. He and his friend managed to persuade commanders to send them to Vietnam.

He worked as a physician for the next 12 months at a helicopter base. “We just worked,” he said of the long days and endless stream of patients he saw throughout the day and night. While it is hard to quantify the number of lives Snyder saved, he knows that he saved both American and Vietnamese soldiers and citizens.

“There was a nearby Vietnamese village hit by fire, and we treated the injured,” he said of one incident. This included two pre-teen sisters. “We fixed them up but knew they would heal faster if they stayed at the camp and we could keep an eye on them,” he said. The two sisters remained with the American soldiers caring for them at the camp until one evening

“Doc” Snyder keeps mementos of the years he spent as a orthopedic surgeon and of his time in the service. when they disappeared. “The villagers came and took them home when they felt they had healed enough,” said Snyder.

Today, at 81 years old with a fading memory, Snyder still recalls the two young girls.

He keeps a framed photo of the pair on his bedroom windowsill, one with her broken arm still in a cast.

Warrenton man, a Prince William County school bus driver, charged with distributing child pornography

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A Warrenton man was arrested Oct. 26 and charged with three felony counts of distributing child pornography. The accused, 42-year-old Darko Jerinic, is currently on administrative leave from his job as a bus driver for Prince William County Public Schools.

Jerinic has worked as a school bus driver in Prince William County since August 2019, a PWC school division spokesperson confirmed.

Previously, Jerinic was a bus driver for the Fauquier County school division. He was first hired in Fauquier in October 2015 and left in April 2019, according to a school division spokesperson.

There is no indication that any of the videos Jerinic allegedly downloaded and distributed depicted local children.

Jerinic admitted to downloading videos depicting the sexual abuse of children, according to a criminal complaint filed by a Virginia State Police detective. His arrest came after a months-long joint investigation between the Warrenton Police Department and the Virginia State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, according to a press release from the WPD.

The investigation began in May after a VSP detective infiltrated a peer-topeer file sharing network, according to Darko Jerinic documents filed with his arrest. Then, investigators found that an internet address later linked to Jerinic had downloaded and shared to the network a video depicting the rape of an 11-year-old child, according to charging documents.

In June, Jerinic allegedly downloaded and shared on the network two additional videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. Information from the internet service provider eventually led investigators to Jerinic’s address, according to charging documents.

Police staked out Jerinic’s residence in September and October to establish the occupants’ routine, according to a search warrant affidavit. Investigators raided the Gay Street house on Oct. 26, ensuring the residents were home at the time so that no one could destroy evidence off site.

Jerinic was being held without bond as of Nov. 3, according public court records.

Fauquier Hospital faces bigger Medicare penalty than any other Virginia hospital PENALTY, from page 1 “Relatively high readmission rates may indicate that patients are being discharged too quickly or not getting the medical care they need when they get home,” said Tricia Neuman, a senior vice president at KFF, previously known as the Kaiser Family Foundation, a national nonprofit that focuses on health issues and policies.

Fauquier Hospital’s penalty was by far the largest in the state. The average penalty for Virginia hospitals was 0.37%. Nationwide, the average was 0.43%, the lowest since 2014. The federal government eased up on hospitals this year, tossing out all hospitals’ data for the first half of 2020, when COVID created chaos at many hospitals nationwide, according to Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit news service dedicated to health-care policies.

The latest round of reduced payments for hospitalized patients on Medicare went into effect Oct. 1 and will end in September 2023. It will cost hospitals nationwide $320 million over those 12 months, according to KHN. The penalty does not mean Fauquier Hospital will raise rates for other patients, Fauquier Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Christine A. Hart Kress said in response to emailed questions from the Fauquier Times.

“It is important for the community to know that while this penalty will impact Fauquier Health’s Medicare reimbursement from the federal government, it will not directly impact patient healthcare costs,” Kress said.

To calculate the penalties, the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services evaluates three years of hospital admissions data. If the analysis shows a hospital readmitted too many patients, the most it can lose is 3% of the amount of money it gets paid for treating Medicare patients.

Most hospitals do not face the maximum penalty.

Fauquier Hospital was unhappy with the CMS data. “We are disap-

About the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program

The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program encourages hospitals to improve communication and care coordination to better engage patients and caregivers in discharge plans and, in turn, reduce avoidable readmissions. The program supports the national goal of improving health care for Americans by linking Medicare reimbursements to the quality of hospital care.

SOURCE: CMS.GOV

About Fauquier Health Fauquier Hospital Chief Nursing Officer Christine A. Hart Kress pointed by this penalty because we do not believe these results reflect the work that is happening today at our hospital,” Kress said in an email.

“Nor does the data (July 2018 to December 2019 and July 2020 to June 2021) take into account the recent improvement and progress we have made to reduce readmissions and improve clinical documentation,” she said.

Fauquier Hospital’s record going back to 2016 is spotty. In 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022 the hospital was penalized the maximum of 3%, a record unmatched by any other hospital in Virginia. The lowest penalty at Fauquier Hospital over the past eight years was 0.97 in 2019.

CMS evaluated patients who were readmitted to hospitals within 30 days of discharge for heart failure, heart attacks, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery bypass grafts and knee and hip replacements. CMS usually includes readmissions for pneumonia in its calculations but left it out this time around because it is a complication of COVID. Specialty hospitals, including psychiatric and veterans’ facilities, are exempt from the CMS penalties.

Kress noted in her email about the Fauquier Hospital’s penalty that Medicare uses a complex mathematical formula based on procedure type, the quality of medical documentation on patients and other factors.

“For example, Fauquier Health had zero penalties for readmissions

related to heart attacks or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but did have readmissions related to joint replacement, which carries a greater penalty percentage,” Kress wrote.

Fauquier Health is taking steps to reduce readmissions and to improve clinical documentation — a record of all the services provided to patients, Kress said. In her email, she noted the following efforts to reduce readmission for patients at highest risk: • Monitoring patients weekly for 30 days to be sure they have completed appropriate follow-up visits with their primary care physician or surgeon.

• Partnering with home-health providers that have dedicated programs to treat chronic heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The purpose of the partnerships is to optimize patients’ abilities to care for themselves over the long term.

• Confirming that home-health visits occur regularly, as ordered by

the provider, and that the visits meet patients’ needs.

• Educating patients before discharge about chronic diseases in collaboration with nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, case managers, social workers and dieticians.

These steps are working well for Fauquier patients, Kress wrote. “In fact, our most recent data (July 2021 to August 2022) reveals a 13% reduction in unexpected/unplanned readmissions for heart failure and a 24% reduction in unexpected/unplanned readmissions for hip and knee replacement,” Kress wrote.

“While our current data reflects these improvements, next year’s rankings may continue to re-use some of the data which was used in this year’s evaluation,” according to Kress. “We will continue monitoring our progress and exploring new ways to improve our overall healthcare delivery and our patients’ experiences.”

Doc Snyder: The ‘acorn doctor’ enabled family trees to grow SNYDER, from page 6 Snyder’s daughter Katie believes the presence of the girls brought a moment of humanity and brightness during a time of war. She also suspects the girls reminded him of his young family waiting for him.

For Snyder, the memories of his time in service, as well as many others, are fading, the result of the early onset of dementia. Details drift from his memory like leaves falling from a tree.

Following the war, Snyder returned home where he had a successful career as an orthopedic surgeon, and in the 1980s, he bought a large Angus farm in the country for his family that he transformed into an outdoor adventure camp, Verdun Adventure Bound in Rixeyville.

During his years on the farm, Snyder planted hundreds of trees.

His daughters recall the chore of planting saplings throughout their childhood. His daughters call him the “acorn doctor” because of all the lives he touched along the way and how they have thrived.

Doc Snyder is a Hero’s Bridge veteran. The nonprofit organization is dedicated to serving elderly veterans, age 65 and older by bringing veterans a better quality of life through age-specific and innovative programs.

Portrait of an artist: Patricia McMahon Rice

By Leigh Somerville

Special to the Fauquier Times

Patricia McMahon Rice began her art career in 1994 in the basement of her home in New Baltimore.

A neighbor asked Rice to teach her homeschooled 8-year-old daughter to draw.

“That was the beginning of art for me,” Rice said.

Her art career has taken her from that basement - where a class with one child grew to more than a half dozen students and continued for years – to the Stuart Street Atelier, a fine artist collective and teaching facility in The Plains.

A workshop she taught there Oct. 29 drew a dozen adults – first timers and repeat students – who met to learn the art of painting with oil on copper. It’s a difficult technique, but it’s a style Rice is passionate about.

“The paint slides around,” she said. “You lose your drawing, and then you find it again. When I began to paint with oil on copper, it made me open to change.”

“If you’re not open to change, you’re in trouble,” she laughed.

One of her most challenging times – and what she calls the “turning point” in her life – hit in 1990 See ARTIST, page 14

CARE MANAGEMENT and the aging population When a private home care nursing assessment is needed for an elder loved one, a common response from family members is “I’ve never done this before” or “I have no idea how this works.” A family member is tasked with trying to assess their loved one’s current ability to complete ADLs or activities of daily living. This assessment is difficult for family members to make without being judgmental. There are many elders living alone in their home but they are not fully independently functioning to safely care for themselves.

Community home care resources may include caregivers from private pay individuals, state approved private pay agencies, and government approved Medicaid agencies. Some elders may get reimbursed by their Long Term Care insurance after a short probationary period for in home personal care.

A family may turn to a care manager to serve as a liaison between the elders and their family especially if the family is not living nearby. A care manager is usually a licensed nurse or social worker who creates and updates personalized client care plans. They provide information and alert an elder loved one’s family if there is a change in care requiring more assistance or if there is a problem that needs to be solved. The care manager communicates with all the members of the healthcare team to educate, advocate, and support an elderly client and their family’s choices navigating the health care system. Before elders and their families’ contract for a formal assessment, the care manager will talk with the elder and their family about how care management works. When the elder or family member is ready the care manager will set up a time to do a formal in home health needs assessment. As an experienced advisor for elders and their families, a care manager knows that building trust is part of their job. Maintaining health and safety may require management of multiple diagnoses, trained caregiver assistance, and/or coordination of care. They interact with all members of the healthcare team to help the elder loved one avoid ending up with poorer health outcomes that require more care and less independence. Care managers coordinate care to advocate for elders health and safety to improve outcomes.

Café Torino offers a taste of Italy in Warrenton

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Andrea Fererro and his wife Amber have been running Cafe Torino since 2001.

After 50 years of cooking for other people, Andrea Fererro looks at retirement

By Constance Lyons

Special to the Fauquier Times

Ask Fauquier restaurant goers about their favorite Warrenton haunt — not for elegance or ambience, but where they like to go, relax, chill out over after-meal coffee, take family and friends.

Café Torino is often the answer. Even better, the restaurant also offers authentic Italian food as good as any in a major city.

Like family-style restaurants in Italy, Torino’s ambience is deliberately casual. Tables are wooden, some long, some accommodating two or four guests. Patrons order at the counter, choosing from a handwritten menu hanging on the wall.

The choices run to chicken, fish, veal and pasta, although a variety of sandwiches are available (and popular).

The chicken spinach, provolone and sun-dried tomatoes in a delectable cream sauce is memorable; so is the tilapia with lemon, butter and mushrooms. A glass case takes up the left side of the counter, filled with irresistible small cakes, tarts and pastries. These sell out early in the day, so dessert lovers are well advised to get there before afternoon.

Behind the counter stands Torino’s owner and master chef, Andrea Fererro. He wears a classic chef’s jacket -- white, high-collared, buttoned up the side. A shock of still-dark curling hair, lively wide eyes, an infectious smile that matches his ebullient personality. “How you doing?” he asks.

“What can we get for you?” During lulls in the influx of customers, he wanders in and out among the tables, chatting with his guests.

Born in Savona, Italy, Fererro always knew he

From the writer

One day I took my small granddaughter to the restaurant. Always forthright about her desires, she came in the door, loudly proclaiming, “I’m starving!”

Immediately she had Fererro’s attention, and he went down on one knee before her. They were locked in a mutually supportive gaze, each riveted on the other, two gourmets fashioning a sublime dining experience.

“What do you like?” he asked.

“Pasta,” she said firmly.

He nodded “Pasta it is. And on it?”

“Butter, “she said speculatively. And cheese.

Please.”

“You shall have it,” he assured her, and rising, escorted her ceremoniously to a waiting table.

wanted to be a chef. At 15, he went to school to learn pastry making, then switched to culinary school to acquire a broader base. Most of all, he wanted to open his own pastry shop. At the same time, he was romancing a girl who happened to be bulimic. “Things got complicated,” he said.

“I didn’t like her family; they didn’t like me. I learned that Fantastico in Warrenton (a newly opened Italian restaurant) was scouting around for a pastry chef. I applied; they invited me, and in December of 1992, I arrived in Warrenton.”

Fererro worked at Fantastico for five and a half years. There he met his wife, Amber, who was working alongside him. “He taught me to cook,” she said. Unfortunately, Fantastico began going

through some tough times and decided to re-open in Winchester, under the name Violino’s.

Fererro moved to The Marvelous Market in Bethesda and spent a year at Café Milano in Georgetown. By then, he and his wife had two children. They missed Warrenton, and Fererro decided to revive his early dream of owning his own bakery and restaurant. They located a suitable space in Rankin’s Shopping Center on Broadview Avenue.

“We built it from the ground up, all by ourselves” Amber Fererro said. “The whole family got into it: painting, laying tiles, carpentry.” On May 24, 2001, the restaurant opened. “We had two employees then; now we have eight,” Fererro said.

Torino’s was an instant success and continued to build a devoted clientele until 2007, when things began going south in an ailing economy.

By 2009, prospects were grim. “We tightened our belt, let employees go and did most of the work ourselves,” Amber Fererro said. After a few grim months, things began to pick up, and since then the restaurant has prospered.

In 2014, their chef left, and Fererro decided to do most of the cooking himself. In a transference of roles, Amber Fererro took over the pastry making. “The level of professionalism has gone up steadily,” said Fererro.

Lunch time at Torino’s is busy, crowded and interactive, as guests at neighboring tables strike up conversations with one another. “It’s all one big family,” Fererro said enthusiastically. “We serve well over 100 covers every lunch, and 60 at dinner, on the three nights we’re open.

In July my life took a turn for the worse after a month of COVID. My taste, smell, focus, and hearing in my left ear were gone. Vertigo, regardless of if I was sitting, standing, or laying in bed, spun round and around. The symptoms got worse if I sat in front of a computer or TV.

Portrait of an artist: Patricia McMahon Rice ARTIST, from page 11 when her 2-year-old son was diagnosed with an inoperable brain stem tumor and given six months to live.

“Earthshattering” is the word she used to describe the news she received at a time when she also had a newborn and four older children at home.

“It was the undoing of me thinking I had life under control,” she said. She compares that lack of control to the oil on copper process that is more fluid than her other paintings on linen or cotton. Just as her style of painting evolved, her son responded to radiation. The tumor shrank, and today, he is 32 years old, married and the father of five sons.

“It has been a wonderful unfolding,” Rice said of her life and a love for art that began as a child. She credits a high school art teacher and a neighborhood artist as inspirations.

“They modeled seeing beauty and being moved by color, design and shape,” Rice said. “That’s something you, as an artist, have as a mother tongue. It is a reaction to beauty, and wanting to create is a universal language artists share.”

As a 19-year-old growing up in the 1970s, Rice wanted to create, but she wanted to create using a classical and representational form. Modern art was in its heyday. Her high school teacher told her if she went to art school to be prepared to face a fight. She might not even be permit-

ted to work representationally.

“That was all the discouragement I needed,” she said.

Rice did not attend art school and holds no art degree. What she does have is a multi-award-winning career as a painter in the classical realism style she learned through years of study with acclaimed artists Daniel Green and Robert Liberace.

Her husband, Scott, read about Green while browsing through an art magazine and encouraged her to make a trip to New York. There, she spent a week in a New England barn learning to paint from life.

“I ate it up,” she said. “It was absolutely transformative because he introduced me to color.” Sculpting, printmaking and drawing had been intuitive for her, but color launched her into a “fourth dimension that is vital.”

After Rice spent three summers with Green, her husband discovered Liberace and encouraged her to work with the living master who taught the art of painting oil on copper.

“I found my perfect fit,” Rice said.

But the “perfect fit” didn’t end there. It was Liberace, a frequent visitor to The Plains, who introduced her to the Stuart Street Atelier, where one of the studios was vacant.

This year, Rice was asked for the first time to serve as one of the judges for the 74th annual Piedmont Regional Art Show & Sale at Grace Episcopal Church. While she judged

When the workshop ended in the late afternoon, she drove to Weaverville, North Carolina, to paint and visit family.

One of her next trips may be to Barcelona, Spain, to attend the 16th International Art Renewal Center

Salon Competition awards ceremony. For the third year, she was chosen as a semifinalist; she heard in the past week that she is a finalist, chosen from among more than 5,400 entries from 75 countries.

At 65, Rice lives like she paints.

“It takes six hours of painting (to get started) and then all cylinders are fired,” she said.

What does he like to cook? “Everything. Fish, especially. I was glad Amber took over the pastry making; I feel like I can be more creative.”

Dinner is a more formal affair, the wooden tables covered with starched white cloths, flowers, candles. But the casual, intimate atmosphere remains.

pand. In fact, Ferrero, who owns the shopping center where the restaurant is located, is planning to close the restaurant as soon as he finds an appreciative buyer for the entire center.

He had planned to put it on the market several years ago. Then COVID flared up and forced the restaurant to operate on a carryout-only basis. Now that the disease is abating, the restaurant is flourishing, and the center is once again on the market. “Not selling for less than it’s worth, though” he said adamantly. “Then, we’re going to move somewhere warm.”

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | November 9, 2022

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Mayor Carter Nevill’s words do not support transparency I wish Mayor Carter Nevill’s recent words about transparency were true. But I am among many people who have witnessed firsthand something quite different.

• We have seen irritation on his face when we speak during citizens time about the Amazon data center proposal. We see he wants us to go away.

• We learned that town staff signed nondisclosure agreements with Amazon, which prevented them from sharing information with the public. This was followed by the town attorney’s suggestion that the NDAs could also apply to town council members, preventing them from public discussion of matters Amazon deems “proprietary.

• We have paid thousands of dollars to file FOIA requests for town documents, to find evidence of closed-door meetings between Amazon and town staff, while the public was in the dark.

For more, visit: Fauquier.com

• We have seen redactions and substantial gaps in town FOIA documents about those meetings and discussions.

• We learned the town FOIA officer was then Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer.

• We were shocked when the town manager resigned, saying it was to spend time with family, but a month later was working for Amazon.

• We have heard the mayor heatedly deny the appearance of a conflict of interest – and the mayor has ignored an Aug. 25 letter from Citizens for Fauquier County requesting to discuss both the Amazon data center and process.

• We attended a Oct. 25 work session in which planning commissioners voiced scathing criticism of the incompleteness, inadequacy and untrustworthiness of Amazon’s application – only to see a notice of proceeding to public hearing in your paper days later. Who decided to skip a careful review and rush the process?

Submitting letters to the editor

I am not one of a limited few dissidents raising these concerns about both the town process and the Amazon data center itself. I am one of over 1,500 individuals from the town and county who have signed petitions opposing the data center. All of us, and more, are deeply troubled at a process that seeks to shut us out and favor Amazon.

Listen to the mayor’s own philosophy, cited in your paper recently: “When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists. …

When his work is done, the people say, ‘Amazing, we did it all by ourselves.’” Does that sound like someone who honestly believes in transparency? I don’t think so.

I believe in democracy. There are a lot of smart, thoughtful, caring people in Warrenton.

They deserve to know what their government is doing. They deserve to be listened to.

CYNTHIA J. BURBANK Warrenton

COUGARS TRAMPLE SHERANDO 47-20 TO WIN THIRD STRAIGHT DISTRICT TITLE Quaker scores 4 TDs, Heritage (4-6) next in region quarterfinals

Final district standings KETTLE RUN Sherando Millbrook Handley LIBERTY James Wood FAUQUIER

By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

It was a Senior Night of near perfection for the Kettle Run football team, its players and coach.

The Cougars shut down visiting Sherando 47-20 last Friday to complete the first 10-0 regular season in coach Charlie Porterfield’s Cougars’ career and conclude a dominating 6-0 run through the Northwestern District to claim their third consecutive title.

Senior quarterback Abram Chumley was close to ideal on his passes, completing 11 of 12 for 162 yards and a touchdown.

“It’s one of those things that if you would have asked me when I took this job seven years ago, I don’t know if I would have told you that would have been possible,” Porterfield said about going 10-0. “Winning never gets old.”

Porterfield recalled how different things were for his program in 2019.

“We were 1-9 when they were freshmen, so to see those guys get it turned around in three years to go undefeated and win three district titles in a row after a 1-9 season is pretty special,” Porterfield said of his senior class.

Next up for the triumphant Cougars (6-0) are the Class 4 Region C quarterfinals at home Thursday against Dulles District No. 4 seed Heritage (4-6).

Porterfield said his squad was ready: “I think anytime you can go into a big type caliber game like this, having experienced it before, you have the upper hand… Having won one twice, I don’t think anything tonight would have shocked our kids.”

for the Cougars, beating Sherando was a big deal. “It felt so amazing, because, like, with my brothers, I would watch them go play Sherando, they never beat them, and they never won a district title, except for Elijah, and it just felt amazing,” he said.

Sophomore running back Colton Quaker decimated Sherando, running 19 times for 130 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. “It felt great. We came up clutch when we needed it,” Quaker said. “Everyone did their part, did their job.”

‘YOU’VE GOT TO GO NOW’ Urged on by dad, Scott wins region cross country title, Paccassi advances

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier junior Cassidy Scott continued her gold medal-gathering ways by garnering her second postseason title with a big victory at the Region 4C meet held on Nov. 2 at Morven Park near Leesburg.

Scott, who was fifth last year at regions, pulled away from Tuscarora’s Michaela Workman over the final 600 meters of the 5,000-meter course to win by nine seconds. Scott’s winning time was 17 minutes, 50 seconds among the 73 girls in the race. The Falcon had won the Northwestern District crown Oct. 22.

Kettle Run opened the scoring on their first drive, marching 83 yards in 11 plays to take the 7-0 lead on Chumley’s 13-yard pass to senior Peyton Mehaffey on a play action bootleg to the left.

After a Sherando punt to open the second quarter, Quaker scored his first TD around the left side on a 4-yard run.

Sherando answered right away with quarterback Micah Carlson finding Gavyn Blye on a seam route for the 75-yard score. A successful 2-point conversion made the score 14-8 with 7:54 left in the half.

Fauquier coach Quentin Jones was stationed near the one-mile mark of the race where Scott was running just behind a small early pack of competitors. Assistant coach and father Mark Scott was near the two-mile point. Cassidy had fallen off the pace a bit to about fourth, according to Jones.

“Mark kind of got into her and told her ‘You’ve got to go now,’” Jones recalled. “By the time I saw her again with about 600 meters to go [Cassidy] basically was even with the Tuscarora girl.

“I started yelling at her to take off, and (Workman) wasn’t making any (response). Cassidy just started distancing herself.”

Kiki Wine was the second Falcon to finish, placing 32nd in 20:59.8. Mackenzie Hodul (34th, 21:02.9), Meme Merchant (42nd, 21:35.5), Josie Strickland (43rd, 21:59.6), Kayana Frisk (49th, 22:12.6) and Nora Waide (57th, 22:5.3) rounded out the top seven runners.

FAUQUIER FIELD HOCKEY MAKES STATE TOURNEY

‘OH MY GOD, I JUST TOOK MY TEAM TO STATES’

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Fauquier’s Lauren Lasher (right) scored the final goal in a double OT shootout against Loudoun County that qualified the Falcons for this week’s Class 4 tournament.

Timberlake, Camarca, Lasher score decisive shootout goals; Falcons finish as region runnerups

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Fauquier field hockey squad is returning to the Class 4 state tournament after a six-year hiatus.

The Falcons (14-5) earned their place by coming up big in a dramatic two-round shootout on Nov. 1 to eliminate visiting Loudoun County in the Class 4 Region D semifinals. The Falcons fell to Loudoun Valley 4-2 in last Thursday’s region championship, as the Vikings won on two fourth-quarter Viking goals.

As region runner-up, Fauquier played Tuesday in a Class 4 quarterfinal at Region 4C champion Courtland, while Loudoun Valley hosted Chancellor. The two winners advance to Friday’s state semifinals in Spotsylvania County.

It’s Fauquier’s first state appearance since 2016.

Shootout is a Falcon forte

Fauquier’s state berth required a strenuous and gratifying win over Loudoun County, the tournament runner-up from the Dulles District.

The teams battled through 60 scoreless minutes of regulation play.

The Falcons controlled play for most of the first

two quarters, posting a 6-1 edge in penalty corners and having numerous dangerous passes go through the crease.

The Captains dominated time of possession in the third and threatened. The fourth was also scoreless as overtime began with coach Brooke Settle confident. “I just felt that night the girls were really pumped up. I think County was a little frustrated with the field, and we were outplaying them.”

Two 10-minute periods finished scoreless leading to the pressure-packed 1-on-1 shootout online.

Teams each select five players alternating oneone-one attempts against the opposing goalkeeper, starting at the 25-yard line with an eight-second time limit.

Loudoun County went first, with Falcon goalie Erin Irvin stripping the ball for an easy clear. Fauquier’s Brooklyn Maldonado then went right, with the keeper touching the ball without controlling the rebound. Maldonado regained possession and shot into the open goal.

Irvin also stopped County’s second try before Falcon Jackie Timberlake began to her left, stutter stepped and drilled a reverse stick shot into the

far-right corner for a 2-0 advantage. The Captains responded to make it 2-1.

Marissa Camarca immediately answered, retaining her balance and possession when the diving goalie made contact. Camarca calmly continued her drive and pushed the ball into the goal for a 3-1 lead.

Down 3-1, Loudoun County thwarted Fauquier’s final duo and scored two for a 3-3 tie to create a second shootout round.

Fauquier’s coaches altered their strategy by sending up District Player of the Year Timberlake first. She drove left, pivoted to her right and sent a drive into the right side to open the scoring.

“Jackie has scored in every single one (of her shootouts),” Settle said.

Loudoun County retaliated to make it 1-1. Maldonado was wide with her shot, and County’s third shooter could not get a shot off to bring up Camarca.

Starting to her left, she changed directions and sent a shot through the goalie’s legs to put the hosts ahead 2-1. “When I scored the second time, I was so thankful…I did not want that to be my last hockey for Fauquier High School,” Camarca said.

Liberty cheer team places third at states

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Liberty High competition cheer team finished third at the Class 4 state meet Saturday in Richmond.

Grafton won the state title with 243 points, followed by Hanover with 226 and the Eagles with 225.5.

“We might have come in third at states, but I have never felt more like a winner,” said co-coach Katie Waddle. “Our kids have maintained the strong foundation and high expectations of the Liberty cheerleading program, and I have never been more proud to be an Eagle.”

Liberty was third after the first round and in the thick of the fight for the title. Grafton had a sizable lead with 233.5 points, followed

by Jefferson Forest (225) and Liberty (223.5).

“After round one we gathered everyone together and we really honed in on the few things that we could do to improve. It is hard to compete last, especially when you are going after so many talented teams,” Waddle said.

“We got lots of comments about how crowd effective our cheer was, and after second round one judge even congratulated us on performing two solid clean routines both round.”

Waddle praised seniors Bailey Allen, Kendall Johnson, Brennon Keller, Keeley Lewis, Hailey Marquise, and Kira Thomas “as well as their parents who have consistently stood by us and supported the growth of our program over the years.

“We all know the importance of having a village who supports you, and our village is so strong,” she said.

“We had two of our best performances of the season,” said cocoach Katie Waddell of the Eagles’ third place showing at states.

COUGAR STARS WERE ALSO CHAMPIONS AT AGE 6 Thank you, Kettle Run parent Danny Mehaffey. The father of Cougar football star Peyton Mehaffey recently reminded the Fauquier Times of a 2011 article on a Colts team that won a Fauquier Youth Football title as 6-year-olds.

The team featured Peyton Mehaffey, Jordan Tapscott and Mason Fletcher, all Cougar starters and champions again now eleven years later.

KETTLE RUN, from page 23 The Cougars ended the half in style, moving 50 yards in under two minutes to take a 21-8 halftime lead on Quaker’s 12-yard TD run.

Kettle Run started the second half with a bang as Sam Rodgers took the opening kickoff 69 yards to the house, bouncing the kick outside and following his blocks up the Cougars’ sideline.

The district champs kept their foot on the gas as Quaker extended the lead to 35-8 following a Sherando turnover on downs. Quaker took the handoff around the right side and walked in untouched from 20 yards out.

Sherando cut the deficit to 35-14

on a short run by Jason Foster with 3:11 left in the third quarter.

Quaker’s fourth TD came on a 13yard run to make 41-14 at the start of the fourth quarter. An interception

by Mason Hodges set up a 6-yard run by sophomore Haydynn Bell, increasing the lead to 47-14.

With the playoffs comes expectations, and the Cougars have lost to Dulles District teams in the first round the last two years – both at home in Nokesville. This year, hopes are higher.

“I think at this point, we know what we need to do, what we need to take care of during the game in order to win,” Porterfield said.

“I think we can go all the way, realistically,” Quaker said.

HOME SWEET HOME IMPROVEMENTS

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.

CROSS COUNTRY, from page 23 Two other county girls were regional finishers. Liberty’s Kayla Lopez placed 29th at 20:43.7, while Kettle Run’s Maria Gaytan was 31st in 20:53.9.

As a team, Fauquier’s girls placed fifth out of eight teams with 126 points behind Tuscarora (39), Loudoun Valley (66), James Wood (81) and Sherando (101). Lightridge (171), Dominion (178) and Handley (224) were the other entries.

Paccassi grabs final spot

Paccassi ran strongly and the senior needed every ounce of effort to gain the final individual-qualifying spot.

“It was tough. He just wanted it,” said Jones of Paccassi, whose time of 15:44.4 was key in making states.

“That guy from Loudoun County ran a 15 something too (15:47.1) and is not going to the state meet. We are in the toughest region.”

The Virginia High School League limits the state meet to the top three teams from each of the four regions plus the best five runners exclusive of the team qualifiers.

Paccassi kept himself in the hunt, Jones said. “He was pushing, staying with the front pack of guys. He kept himself in good position,” Jones said of his view at the one-mile mark.

“With about 600 meters to go, I think he had to get past one, maybe two, guys to go to the state.

Braden Leitenberger from Kettle Run took 30th at 16:50.7.

Handley’s Garrett Stickley and teammate Will Pardue were the first two finishers in 15:15.6 and 15:22.1, respectively.

RECORD-SETTING EAGLES WIN 19TH STRAIGHT BIRD BOWL Mawyer fires seven TD passes in 49-0 win over Fauquier

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

It was a final touchdown that produced a Liberty record but created some friction on the Fauquier sideline.

With less than two minutes left in Friday’s 28th Bird Bowl, Liberty led 42-0 with a running clock likely to end the game in a matter of a few plays.

Headed to a blowout victory at Falcon Field, the Eagles (4-6) weren’t desperate to score any more points against the rival Falcons (0-10) but did anyway as quarterback Austin Mawyer scrambled and connected with Tyler Caporaletti on a 64-yard touchdown connection, leading to the 49-0 final.

Mawyer’s seventh TD pass of the night gave him a school-record 37 total TDs (32 passing/five rushing) for the year, topping the 36 by Hank Meadows in 1998-99.

“Austin has every single season passing record now,” said Liberty coach Travis Buzzo.

Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter, activities director Mark Ott and parents were bothered by the TD with 1:48 left.

While Buzzo said it was unplanned, it left feathers ruffled in Warrenton.

“I don’t want to make it sound like sour grapes, but they had their starters in and they were throwing the ball,” Buckwalter said. “It was a bit much. You don’t do that.”

Mawyer, who completed 19 of 32

Will Buckwalter be back?

Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter is hoping to return next season. The fourth-year coach said he expects to meet with school officials in the coming weeks to learn his status.

Bird Bowl moving to beginning of year in 2023 With Fauquier dropping down to Class 3 next season, the 29th Bird Bowl could be the season-opener next season. With Liberty remaining in Class 4, the FHS-LHS clash will be a non-conference game played before the district schedule.

FIELD HOCKEY, from page 24 County’s next try went wide left.

Now, it was Lauren Lasher’s turn.

She missed in the first round, so this was a chance for redemption. “The first time, I missed it, so I had redeem myself,” said Lasher, who beat Meridian with a shootout goal.

She went to her right with the goalie making a dive and missing the ball.

Lasher tripped over the outstretched arm as the ball continued goalward. The senior was on all fours in her frantic pursuit, reaching out with her stick and poking the ball in like a cue ball shoot.

“The ball was right there, and

Senior receiver Joey Triplett caught two TD passes to finish with 15, breaking the Liberty single season mark held by Jesse Leach, who caught 14 in 1998-99, Buzzo said.

Triplett said he felt no remorse about Liberty’s tack-on TD. “It’s a rivalry game. We wanted to leave our mark and run it up,” said Triplett, who recalled being on the losing end of a pummeling during his LHS career. “I remember when we lost to

James Wood 77-6 (on JV),” he said.

Senior Grady Panagos was named the Falcons’ Bird Bowl MVP as Fauquier concluded one of the worst seasons in school history at 0-10, matching the 0-10 marks of 2018 and 1980. They’ve lost 15 in a row dating to last season.

They lost the Bird Bowl trophy game for the 19th time in a row. Fauquier last won a Bird Bowl in 2002.

The Bird Bowl was not played last year due to a Fauquier forfeit.

“It’s a tough way to go out. I thought we got after them pretty good but then we had turnovers and the bottom pretty much fell out,” said Buckwalter.

The Falcons stopped Liberty’s first two possessions and had the chance for an early lead with an ambitious 44-yard field goal attempt, which was well short.

Liberty soon made it 7-0 as Mawyer stepped up in the pocket and found Triplett behind the defense for a 37-yard strike.

The Eagles then converted the second of four Falcon interceptions into a second score, taking a 14-0 lead on Mawyer’s 29-yard TD pass to Caporaletti. Liberty’s third interception of the half on a pick by Ka’von O’Bannion led to another instant TD for Liberty as Mawyer hit Caporaletti from 32 yards.

Falcons drop region final, 4-2

Both Fauquier (11 in a row) and Loudoun Valley (14 in a row) were riding double digit winning streaks when they met to decide the region championship, won by Valley 4-2 in Purcellville.

Valley, which edged Fauquier 5-4 at Falcon Field back on Aug. 29, took a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute. Fauquier responded minutes later as Marjorie Davenport tipped in Lindsey Cree shot for a 1-1 tie.

Later in the first quarter, Loudoun Valley struck again to carry a 2-1 advantage into the second period. Fauquier needed only 96 seconds to make it 2-2 when a McKenna Locke pass found Davenport all along at the left post for her second score. no whistle had blown. That was my opportunity,” Lasher said, recalling her thoughts. “It was a relief. ‘Oh my God. I just took my team to states.’

Above, Corbin Barbe and Joey Triplett celebrate Triplett’s TD. Below, Dillon Mahek and Dre Booth harass Ben Noland, forcing an interception.

Mawyer’s fourth and fifth TD passes of the first half went to Jayden Ulloa for 44 yards and Triplett for 13 yards as Liberty took a 35-0 halftime lead.

Liberty got two more TDs in the second half. Andrew Ryman caught a 27-yard toss from Mawyer up the middle of the field to make it 42-0 with 8:20 left.

About six minutes later Caporaletti had his third TD catch on the play that bothered FHS officials. Buzzo said leaving his starters in was a reward for them after an up-and-down year. “It’s those kids’ last game too. I don’t want to make it some kid’s last snap due to the scoreboard,” he said.

Liberty finished 3-3 in district play and missed out the league’s fourth playoff spot after losses to Kettle Run, Millbrook and Handley. While Handley was also 3-3, the Judges got in due to a head-to-head win over Liberty, 46-43, in Week 9.

Although Loudoun Valley increased the pressure after that goal., it remained 2-2 at half-time and following the third quarter. “I was thinking we’re going to overtime,” Settle admitted.

“In the fourth quarter we were gassed,” Settle said.

Valley broke through with 9:08 to play off a penalty corner, and an insurance goal with 5:55 left for the 4-2 final.

“The girls were upset, but I told them it was a great game,” Settle said, noting the Falcons were short one starter due to injury. “We gave them a run for their money…just a fantastic game.

“Their coach congratulated us and said we were one of the toughest teams they had faced. To get that far is something to be proud of.”

“When we won the shootout, it was an emotional moment. Everyone was crying.”

“We have a great goalie, and we

have great shootout players,” Settle said of the effort. “When Lauren went out and made that shot, the energy was awesome.”

REALTORS® ‘Share the warmth’

Greater Piedmont REALTORS® announced its donation of more than 1,400 winter accessories to homeless shelters in Fauquier, Culpeper and Madison counties. The “Cares Committee” helped those who require it most.

Since clothing is a basic need, but many do without, the organization decided to “Share the Warmth.” Adults and children received gloves, hats and scarves for the coming winter months.

For many of them, these items may not be something they can afford to buy at this time.

Two of the locations served were the Emergency Shelter in Warrenton and the Transitional Housing program in Vint Hill. Other locations where deliveries were made included SAFE and Culpeper Housing & Shelter Services in Culpeper; MESA in Madison; and Community Touch in Bealeton.

Greater Piedmont REALTORS® is a nonprofit organization representing approximately 700 REALTORS® across Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, and Madison counties in Virginia.

PATH announces $1.5 million in grants to local nonprofits The PATH Foundation announced last month $1.5 million in “flexible funding grants,” distributed to 56 nonprofits that serve Fauquier, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties. Nonprofits may use the funds “as needed … to meet their missions.”

The nonprofit recipients are all 501(c)(3) organizations and advance at least one of PATH’s four “priority areas:” access to health, childhood wellness, mental health and senior services.

PATH, originally called Fauquier Health Foundation, was founded and capitalized in 2013 as part of the sale of Fauquier Health, then a nonprofit, to for-profit LifePoint Hospitals.

The Fauquier-based grant recipients are listed below. A full list is available at pathforyou.org.

• Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County ($30,000) • Boys & Girls Club of Fauquier ($25,000) • Community Touch ($40,000) • ESL at Warrenton Baptist Church ($10,000)

• Fauquier Community Child Care, Inc. ($40,000) • Fauquier Education Farm ($25,000) • Fauquier Family Shelter Services, Inc. ($50,000) • Fauquier FISH ($50,000) • Fauquier Habitat for Humanity ($50,000) • Fauquier Historical Society ($10,000) • Hope Heals Foundation ($10,000) • Hospice Support of Fauquier County ($26,420) • Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center ($50,000) • Piedmont Environmental Council ($20,000) • Spiritual Care Support Ministries ($20,000) • The Arc of North Central VA ($20,000) • The Bridge Community Church ($10,000) • The Clifton Institute ($20,000) • The Plains Community League ($20,000) • Warrenton Youth Sports Club ($10,000)

Warrenton Planning Commission will hold public hearing on Amazon proposal Nov. 15 COMMISSION, from page 3 Dominion said last month it could power the data center by running smaller distribution lines from a substation on Old Auburn Road, about two and one-half miles to the south — if it could expand that facility onto neighboring land. But a Dominion spokesman later indicated it might not be able to do that. Meanwhile, adding more confusion, Amazon has said it could operate on existing local power for three to five years.

Spencer Snakard, who heads a coalition concerned about the power lines, said Amazon’s statements about substation location and burying lines only raise more questions. First, she noted, it is the State Corporation Commission that decides where power lines travel and where substations are built – not Amazon or even Dominion.

Second, she noted that a town zoning amendment states that any “electric service lines” from a substation to the data center must be buried – which in her view puts that onus on the developer, Am-

azon. Third, she said, a proposal to “request and pay” is still not a guarantee that they will pay.

With all these balls in the air, some are asking, “What’s the rush?”

In a press release Friday, Citizens for Fauquier County asked that action be postponed until Amazon’s application is complete, a new town council and planning commission are seated and a comprehensive review of the process is undertaken. “This is the most consequential land-use decision the town has probably ever made,” Ramundo wrote.

Dennis E. Mong Dennis E. Mong, 81, of Warrenton, Virginia, passed away on October 23, 2022, following a lengthy battle with cancer.

He was a genuine man who loved three things in life: his family, baseball and his grandchildren. Over the last 10 years of his life, he grew to love the Lord.

Denny was born in Warren, Pennsylvania, the eldest son of Phillip and Avaryl Mong.

Following the birth of his twin brothers and baby sister, his overwhelmed Mother (undoubtedly searching for peace and quiet on the home front) signed him up for Little League baseball — a move which would change his life forever. In high school he was a track and field star, and a state champion javelin phenom for the Warren Dragons. He set multiple district records, and launched a record 181’ 17“ toss to win the State Championship in 1959. A record which would stand for many years.

After graduation, Denny enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving his country for several years, while traveling the world and making many lifelong friends. On moving to Manassas, Virginia, Denny extended his love of baseball to participate in the Manassas Softball League as a player, manager and sponsor of The Company team for a number of years. When his son was old enough to play, Denny began his coaching career with a t-ball team in the Greater Manassas Baseball League.

Through many years and countless championships, he continued to coach. He was also an active Board Member and at one point, President of the baseball league. His achievements in the league led to him being selected as All Star Coach in multiple seasons. His success led to the formation of the first American Legion team in Manassas, Post 10. The Post 10 American Legion team dominated Legion baseball in the area for several years, compiling a winning record of 80% Denny became an outstanding, self-taught baseball coach. He learned everything he knew about coaching from experience, and read all that he could find on the topic. He taught ”his guys“ everything he knew. He could often be heard quoting words of wisdom from the ”Greats“ of the game to his players, both on and off the field: ”It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up“ Babe Ruth; ”There may be people who have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you“ Derek Jeter; ”Remember kid, there’s heroes and there’s legends, heroes get remembered, but legends never die“ Babe Ruth and last, but not least, ”It ain’t over ’til it’s over’ Yogi Berra.

Denny is survived by his son Darren, wife Karen and grandsons Ben and Cooper, his daughter Shannon, husband Robert, granddaughter Grace and grandson Colby; brothers Dean and wife Jackie; Daryl and wife Sandy; sister Susi and husband Warren; as well as his nieces, nephews and great nephews.

In addition to his parents, Dennis is preceded in death by his son, Dennis Mong, Jr. Services will be held at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton, Virginia, on Friday, November 4, 2022, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00pm (followed by a Celebration of Life at O’Brien’s Pub and Restaurant in Warrenton, Virginia 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.).

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Greater Manassas Baseball League, P.O. Box 4433, Manassas, VA 20108 (manassasbaseball. com

Alan Rubin Alan Rubin passed away on November 6, 2022 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He was born on December 2, 1936 in Brooklyn NY, the only child of David and Bess Rubin.

After receiving a geology degree from Brooklyn College, Alan moved to Washington, working for the U.S. Geological Survey. While pursuing a graduate degree from George Washington University, he worked for the Army Map Service and Defense Intelligence Agency.

Alan met his wife, Susan Lloyd, in 1964. They have been together ever since. In 1967, they opened the Biograph Theater in Georgetown.

The iconic art theater showed classic films for 30 years. They lived in Washington until 1976 when they moved to Delaplane, Virginia. Over the years, they also owned two other theaters, three ice cream shops, and a French restaurant on Capitol Hill. Alan was on the board of Filmfest DC for 20 years.

When the Biograph closed, Alan became a full-time artist. He painted almost every day, believing happiness is when the things you work at and the things you play at are the same. Alan produced over 500 pieces during his career, winning a number of art awards. He loved to infuse humor and irony into his work. When asked, after his Parkinson’s diagnosis, what he’d do if his hands became too shaky, he said, “Easy, I’ll become an abstract expressionist.” With characteristic wit, he observed that “artist is one of the few occupations where death is a great career move.” Alan also published two books of “Punjabs” – cartoons that mix puns with funny drawings.

Alan is survived by his wife Susan, his niece and nephew, Carly and Rob, and many friends.

In lieu of flowers, please help find a cure for Parkinson’s by donating to the Michael J. Fox Foundation at www.michaeljfox.org.

Stephan “Steve” Campos Stephan “Steve” Campos, 68, of Manassas, VA, was called home to the Lord on October 26, 2022. Born in 1954, Steve was the youngest son of Tony and Lucy Campos of Granada, CO. A high school band trip to Europe kindled in him a love of travel, which would form the basis of his life’s work. He and his childhood sweetheart, Fay, married and embarked on a lifelong series of adventures together.

Steve chose a path of service, first with the Army, which took him to both domestic and international duty stations. Later, he was recruited to the Foreign Service, traveling to postings across the world. Throughout his dozens of assignments, he excelled in his career, made countless friends, and helped people succeed.

His longtime love of sports began in school, where he played on several teams, and continued into adulthood where he played in numerous community leagues. He found ways to combine this passion with his desire to help others. In Trinidad and Tobago, he coached a semiprofessional basketball team; in Greece, he coached high school boys. An avid fan of pro sports, he always followed his favorites, attending games in person and spending afternoons watching them on TV. Settling in northern Virginia, he retired from the Foreign Service and ultimately made his home in Manassas. He loved spending time and sharing stories, including those he authored, with family and friends.

Steve is survived by his loving wife Fay, daughter Meghann (Jeff) Silverthorn and grandson Julian of Parker, CO; daughter Adrienne Campos of Westminster, CO; a sister of Lamar, CO; a brother of El Paso, TX; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

The family will receive friends at Pierce Funeral Home in Manassas on November 11 at 11 a.m. Services will follow in Colorado at a later date, where he will be laid to rest with his beloved parents in Granada.

Dougie was a career civil servant with the Department of the Army in Alexandria, VA and often recalled fond memories and lasting relationships with her colleagues. Dougie was a huge sports fan and frequented the bleachers of Fauquier High School sporting events with her sisters. She loved the Redskins, the Cavaliers, and the O’s. She had a fun-loving spirit, was quick to laugh, and enjoyed a good glass of wine with friends and family. Above all, her family was her heart.

Dougie is preceded in death by her parents Duck and Virginia Wines, son Timothy Thompson, husband Roy “Tim” Thompson, brother-in-law Henderson Glascock, brother Robert Wines, son-in-law Sullivan Susano, daughter Shirley Jean Joseph, and daughter Paulette Adale Thompson.

Barbara Lee Noel Crowe Barbara Lee Noel Crowe, a business owner and long-time resident of Manassas and Gainesville, VA, passed away on October 29th, 2022, at the age of 83 after a brief but brave battle with lung cancer.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Charles Frederick Crowe; her children, Daryl Crowe (and Kim) of Broad Run, VA; Ron Crowe of Gainesville VA; Rodney Crowe (and Karen) of Ashburn, VA; Melanie Cohen (and Jay) of Culpeper, VA; and a brother Douglas Wayne Noel (and Betty) of Richmond, VA. She is predeceased by her first son Derek Crowe (formerly of Manassas, VA); and her parents William C. Noel and Margaret Clark Noel (formerly of Richmond, VA).

She is also survived by several nephews and nieces throughout the Richmond, VA, and Yadkin County area of North Carolina.

Barbara was born in Richmond, VA on December 20, 1938, and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1957.

While working at the Red Cross in Richmond, VA she fell in love and married her husband, and later raised her family in Manassas, VA where she founded and operated the Trophy Shop for over 25 years before retiring to nearby Heritage Hunt Country Club in Gainesville, VA, where she enjoyed treasured new friendships, Bunko groups, decorating their home and tending to her many trees and plants in her yard.

Her love of family was paramount, doting on her cherished grandchildren (Matthew Shelby, Regan Brady, Billy Crowe, Annie Crowe, Ashley Klein, Thomas Truluck, Morgan Miller, Katie Newman and Rachel Crowe). Her favorite times were celebrating her family at birthdays, and family gatherings at Easter and Christmas. She also had a desire as a young child to travel the world and completed her plan to visit every State in the United States and as many foreign Countries as she could with her favorite trips being to Jerusalem (to walk the steps of her Savior Jesus Christ), Hawaii and Alaska.

Barbara, a long-term member of Manassas Baptist Church, loved her Church family and loved serving her Lord working on the Baptismal and Tithe teams. She also enjoyed volunteering with local charities delivering “backpack meals” to school children and at local Senior Living facilities taking them on excursions, lunches and calling Bingo. At the heart of her personality, she just wanted to care for those she loved and those that needed love.

In lieu of Flowers, donations may be sent to either of her favorite charities: The Little Sisters of the Poor – St. Joseph Home (Elder Care) in Richmond, VA, or St. Jude Children’s Hospital

Planning a funeral is daunting when you’ve never done it before, especially when you’re grieving a loved one at the same time. You will want to first choose a funeral home and funeral director or undertaker who will prepare the body and guide you through the funeral planning process. You must decide where to hold the funeral and the type of service to have, including who will perform it.

During the service you may need pallbearers if there is a casket, and someone to give the eulogy. You will also need to make arrangements with the cemetery for the interment after the funeral service.

You may also wish to plan for an additional private or public graveside service.

Death is inevitable, and the more we can have prepared for it, the easier it is for those we leave behind. Pre-need funeral plans can be made at any time and offer many advantages. Funeral homes can help you preplan a funeral for yourself, your spouse, or a parent. When the time comes for you to arrange funeral services for a loved one, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 3473431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

Robert (Bob) Revell Mitchell Jr. Robert (Bob) Revell Mitchell Jr., 74, of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, passed away suddenly on October 28, 2022.

Bob was born on December 18, 1947 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was raised in nearby Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. Following a brief stint as a pharmacy assistant in Philadelphia after high school, Bob joined the Air Force in 1968 and was transferred to Sunnyvale, California where he operated early computer systems supporting reconnaissance satellite missions. After leaving the Air Force in 1974, and building on his natural aptitude for technology, Bob began working in the nascent computer industry in the Silicon Valley at Control Data Corporation. In 1985 he moved with his family to Spotsylvania, Virginia and continued working in the computer industry across the next three decades at many companies and organizations, including Northrup Grumman and the United States Coast Guard.

Bob had a wide variety of interests and hobbies, and was always eager to get involved in causes he cared about. In the late 1980s he co-founded the Spotsylvania County Litter Control Committee, which drafted and advocated for the passage of Spotsylvania County’s first litter ordinance and also coordinated outreach with local schools and community groups to raise awareness of environmental issues. Bob had a deep interest in genealogy, which intersected with his love of technology, and he was part of the wave of early adopters using home computers to digitize genealogical records. From the early 1980s through the early 1990s he created and distributed an international monthly newsletter for users of Family Roots, an early genealogy software program. While his children were young, he was a volunteer youth recreational soccer coach and referee for many years. Bob was also an avid home cook, who greatly enjoyed trying out the latest gadgets and recipes. But above all other pursuits, Bob had a lifelong involvement in Scouting that started in his youth when he achieved the rank of Life Scout. Across nearly 30 years he served as an Assistant Scoutmaster and later the Committee Chairman at Boy Scout Troop 171 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. As a leader in Scouting, he helped many young men achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, including both of his sons.

Bob is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Helen Mitchell (McKee).

He was the proud father of four children, who survive him: Robert Revell Mitchell III of Portland, Oregon and Jennifer Mitchell Pauli of Chapel Hill, North Carolina (both from his prior marriage to Loretta Rodrigues of Spotsylvania, Virginia) and Helen’s children, Rachel Ross of Hartsville, South Carolina and Andrew Ross of Spotsylvania, Virginia. He was a loving grandfather and is survived by five grandchildren: Spencer and Davis Mitchell, the children of Robert and his wife Teresa Breen, and Elijah, Aliyah, and Mariah Pauli, the children of Jennifer and her husband Elliott Pauli. Additionally, he is survived by his sister, Elisabeth Cox of Green Valley, Arizona.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Revell Mitchell Sr. and Elisabeth Pauline Mitchell of Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.

Visitation will be held at 11am on Thursday, November 10, 2022, followed by a service at 12 pm, at Found and Sons Funeral Chapels, 10719 Courthouse Rd., Fredericksburg.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the SPCA in Fredericksburg (fredspca.org).

It’s never too late to share your loved one’s story.
