In a victory for local activists, a Dominion Energy representative announced Thursday, Nov. 10, that the company has nixed all previously considered transmission line routes to power a proposed Amazon Web Services data center in Warrenton.

Instead, the company now proposes building a substation at one of two sites near an existing Dominion substation southeast of Warrenton. The new substation would power the data center, if it is approved, via underground distribution lines routed along Falmouth Street and Walker Drive.

Back from an annual choral pilgrimage, Piedmont Singers set for Dec. 3 concert

By Constance Lyons

Special to the Fauquier Times

“Those who sing, pray twice,” said St. Augustine.

In September, the Piedmont Singers embarked on their sixth choral pilgrimage, singing at five of England’s magnificent cathedrals and abbeys, among them the imposing Durham Abbey (the site of several scenes from the Harry Potter movies).

Wendy Oesterling created the Piedmont Singers in 1999. Formerly a chorus and orchestra director at Liberty High School, Osterling said, “We wanted to add a sacred concert to the festivities for Christmas in Middleburg, held yearly at the beginning of December. My idea was to give singers from all over the area an opportunity to sing sacred music that they might not otherwise have. And we got singers from as far away as Virginia Beach; people came from Frederick, Loudoun, Clarke, Winchester. Just all over. So we presented the Christmas portion of Handel’s ‘Messiah.’ We had 36 singers and a string quintet. The following year we performed three movements from Bach’s ‘Christmas Oratorio.’”

Five years later Oesterling decided it was time to give the group a new name. “So, we changed from the Christmas Choir to the Piedmont Singers.” Today the singers are outreach partners with Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains and Grace Episcopal Church in Berryville.

In 2005, Oesterling learned that the great cathedrals in England routinely used guest choirs during the summer when their own singers were on vacation. “So, we applied. I sent an audition

The choir processes in for Choral Evensong at St. Lawrence Parish Church, York.

CD of one of our performances to Wells Cathedral in southwest England, a church with a wonderful tradition of fabulous choral music since the 11th century. And they accepted us, and we went.

It was a wonderful experience.”

During the most recent trip, the singers presented Choral Evensong at Durham Cathedral (home of the relics of St. Cuthbert and the Venerable Bede) and at St. Lawrence Parish Church in York (largest ecclesiastical building in York after York Minster). They performed at a lunchtime concert at Beverley Minster, home of the relics of St. John of Beverley, once Archbishop of York who ordained the Venerable Bede.

The local group also sang Choral Evensong at Ripon Cathedral and Holy Eucharist at Selby Abbey, with the Abbey Choir. Selby Abbey was the home of a Benedictine monastery until the Reformation; one of its glories is the “Washington window” which displays the coat of arms of George Washington’s family, who were local residents.

Growing Our Business “We at Lee Highway Nursery have absolutely LOVED working with Nancy [Keyser] and the Fauquier Times!

“She and her design department have given us a different way to reach our friends and neighbors in Fauquier.

“We are grateful for an old school way of getting in front of people to help them complete a vision they have for their yard, provide decorating ideas or just to help them relax while gardening.”

Ashley and Lisa Lee Highway Nursery

“We are grateful for an old school way of getting in front of people...”

Warrentonian Carol Cunningham said, “For me, the deeper meaning of the trip related to the honor of adding my voice to the echoes of the thousands of voices before mine that rang through those ancient cathedrals, abbeys and old churches. Monks from ancient times sat in those same choir spaces and worshiped God with song and reverence. The sacredness of that music and those voices seemed to me to be eternally present beneath those vaulted ceilings of old stone. It was humbling to think perhaps those human voices might still be heard down through the thousands of years if one could just listen closely enough.

Perhaps the voices of the Piedmont Singers are now part of that eternal choir. I felt I was a very small part of something ancient and beautiful and sacred.”

Cunningham’s daughter, Janet Lacaden of North Carolina, used her time off from singing to investigate and explore. “Scattered around the city of York are 28 ceramic/metal sculptures of cats. They’re perched on the roofs of commercial and residential buildings. Several of us went on a quest to find them on our free day in York. We found 10 or 12 of them, I believe. “ The cathedrals and other great churches of the Anglican Communion in the UK and Ireland maintain a strong choral tradition, of which the singing of Evensong on most days of the week is an important part; it’s a tradition of more than 10 centuries.

“As is customary at Choral Evensong, much of the service is sung by the choir alone to special settings,” Oesterling said. “We have had the honor and privilege of making choral pilgrimages and serving as ‘visiting choir-in-residence,’ filling in for a week for the cathedral choir on holiday, at Wells Cathedral in 2007, Canterbury Cathedral in 2009, St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Dublin) in 2012, York Minster in 2015 and Christ Church Cathedral (Oxford) in 2018.”

Number, type of jobs that would be created at proposed Amazon data center still unclear

By Peter Cary

because you don’t repair these things anymore. You just pop it out and buy another one,” he said.

Levi said he could not estimate numbers of different jobs in a 50-worker data center, because their operations differ widely, and they keep such information close. Amazon declined to specify job types and numbers in its data centers; the company did say it employed 8,800 people in corporate offices and data centers in Virginia.

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

At a Town of Warrenton Planning Commission meeting Oct. 25, Vice Chair James Lawrence pressed Amazon representative John Foote firmly on whether jobs at the company’s proposed data center on Blackwell Road could go exclusively to Warrenton residents. Amazon had said the new center would have 52 employees.

Three days later, Amazon filed a document promising that it would inform Warrenton residents of job openings and would work with Fauquier County schools and Laurel Ridge Community College to establish programs “for career pathways in data center construction and operations.”

If the promises hold, area residents could land jobs. But for those expecting a windfall, a reality check is in order: Amazon has not said what the jobs are. Data centers employ a variety of workers, including guards, shipping staffers and cleaning crews.

“These are not necessarily jobs that we imagine these projects bringing to communities — you know, high-tech, highly paid jobs,” said Kasia Tarczynska, a senior researcher at Good Jobs First, a Washington nonprofit that studies data center incentives.

Two Northern Virginia residents with backgrounds in data centers and information technology outlined what they thought the likely positions would be at the 220,000-square-foot site, a modest size as data centers go.

Their job lists differed somewhat, but they each estimated that two tech groups – equipment-maintenance people and information-technology specialists – would constitute no more than 40% of the workforce.

Amazon has said the building would host a maximum of 32 workers at any one time. “Employees are comprised of engineering technicians, data center operators, security personnel and logistics personnel,” the company’s application for a special-use permit says.

Josh Levi, president of the Data Center Coalition, an industry trade association, listed 10 types of data-center-specific jobs found in Northern Virginia. He said employment at data centers can vary widely and noted that he had visited one site run by a credit card company where as many as a dozen specialists were working just in the operations center.

Amazon Web Services lists 165 technological job openings in Northern Virginia on Glassdoor.com, a jobs website, and 114 similar data center IT openings in Virginia on its own hiring website, amazon.jobs.

Among the openings: data center technicians, a job paying $42,000

Construction jobs

This sampling of job listings from amazon.jobs lists several opportunities for data center operations managers. to $65,000, and HVAC and generator technicians, paying $42,000 to $64,000. Both need only a high school diploma. Engineering operations technicians, who do electrical and mechanical troubleshooting and maintenance, need a bachelor’s degree and can earn close to $100,000.

Project managers with a bachelor’s in engineering and three years’ experience could earn $81,000 to $125,000, according to one ad.

Few employees necessary per square feet of building space

Two Prince William County reports bear out the idea that relative to the amount of space they take up, data centers don’t need many employees.

A report produced in May by private consultants Camoin Associates of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., found one data center job per 5,958 square feet of building space. “While data centers house only a small share of ICT workers, they account for a large share of building area,” the report said.

A Prince William staff report prepared for a Nov. 1 board of supervisors meeting calculates that data center floor space between 5,349 and 9,000 square feet will support one job. That math would predict a maximum of 42 jobs in a 220,000-square-foot data center like the one proposed in Warrenton.

In mid-2021, Amazon had told Warrenton officials it would employ 38 people at its proposed project.

However, in its April 13, submission for a permit, Amazon said the project would host approximately 52.

That number would help the company qualify for the Virginia Data Center Retail Sales and Use Tax Exemption, which exempts taxes on purchased equipment or software.

The program is open to data centers that create more than 50 new jobs that pay at least 150% of the prevailing average local wage and spend more than $150 million in its capital

investment. Amazon has said it intends to spend $500 million on the proposed Blackwell Road project.

The two local veterans of the data center industry estimated how many and what types of jobs would be created at the Warrenton site. Fred Smith is a retired Fauquier resident with 40 years of IT infrastructure and management experience who recently worked for NTT America in Gainesville. Based on what Amazon has revealed so far, Smith said he sees this as a “bare bones” operation managed from outside.

He guessed there would be 15 to 20 security guards, based on three shifts, seven days a week working inside and out. For logistics — receiving and shipping and moving equipment — he estimated three to four workers. And the site would need cleaning workers, perhaps two, he said.

He envisioned three to five people qualified to maintain HVAC systems, generators, pumps, door alarms and key cards. Next would be perhaps five data center technicians — people who install and connect wiring, fiber optic cable, phone circuits, run diagnostics, understand software and networking. And the project would need one or two managers.

The high end of Smith’s estimates totaled 38 people – coincidentally what Amazon first told Warrenton officials in summer 2021, when they proposed a smaller center.

Dale Browne, who lives next to four Amazon data centers south of Manassas, ran a data center in Switzerland for a global telecom company. He, too, thought the Warrenton center would need about 20 security guards.

He predicted up to 10 facilities workers, including HVAC people and electricians, and about 10 people to service servers, routers and computers. “But these aren’t really high paid or highly skilled people

In addition to the 52 jobs it promises, Amazon has told Warrenton officials that construction would involve 300 people. It’s unclear whether those would be new jobs or additional work for existing builders and contractors.

Browne noted that creating more work for contractors is different from creating new construction jobs. Contractors may have to scale up, said Browne, “but I don’t think it’s right to be treating every job as a new job.”

On their website, proponents of the Prince William Digital Gateway wrote that the plan “creates the opportunity” for “thousands of longterm trade and construction positions.” A year ago, two labor leaders told a reporter the Gateway could create construction and trade jobs in the thousands.

Prince William’s deputy finance director, Tim Leclerc, is not so sure.

“The reality of that, especially the skilled labor, is that it is already here, as they’ve been building for the last 15 to 20 years in Loudoun and in Prince William,” he said.

He also said Compass, which may end up building half of the Digital Gateway, has its own construction crews. “They bring them up from Dallas [Texas], and they build their data center, and then they go on to build another one somewhere else,” he said.

Compass declined to directly address that claim but said if it builds in Prince William County its workforce “would include a mix of contractors and subcontractors with experience in the local data center market, as has been our practice elsewhere.”

In Warrenton, planning commissioner Lawrence is skeptically eyeing the workforce promises made by Amazon to recruit and train town residents. He said the recruiting part did not sound like much of a concession to him. “That sounds like a normal course of events — they’re going to advertise their jobs,” he said. As for Amazon’s promise to “ensure coordination” to help schools set up job training in data center construction and operations, he said: “It sounds like an early-stage concept. There’s not enough information to evaluate.”

Fauquier County School Board gets first look at new policy on sexually explicit classroom materials

By Colleen LaMay

Read it yourself

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County School Board got its first look Nov. 14 at a state-mandated policy on the use of sexually explicit materials for classroom assignments. Members agreed to discuss the policy at a summit Nov. 30 and possibly approve it in December.

Under the new policy, parents will get at least 30 days’ notice of the use of any instructional materials with “sexually explicit content” in their children’s assignments. Parents will be able to review the materials. In addition, parents can request alternate assignments. The deadline for approval is Jan. 23, 2023.

“The policy would go into effect immediately upon your adoption, and we will begin working with principals to establish some very basic expectations,” Deputy Superintendent Major Warner said. The idea is to give teachers a basic framework for dealing with assignments that might brush up against the new policy.

For example, a world history assignment might include some “pretty graphic content” that would require teachers to contact parents through Schoology, the division’s learning management system, email or some other method, Warner said.

To read the draft of Fauquier County Public Schools’ policy 6-5.6 “Instructional and Supplementary Materials” with a section 3 added for “Sexually Explicit Materials,” use this link: https://go.boarddocs.com/va/fcps/ Board.nsf/files/CKZRH36DD1CE/$file/6-5.6.pdf Or go to the Fauquier County Schools website and navigate to the School Board agenda for Nov. 14.

The definition of “sexually explicit” in the proposed policy

“Sexually explicit content” is defined in the Code of Virginia Section 2.2-2827 as: 3.2.1.1. any description of, or 3.2.1.2. any picture, photograph, drawing, motion picture film, digital image or similar visual representation depicting sexual bestiality, a lewd exhibition of nudity, as nudity is defined in Section 18.2-390, sexual excitement, sexual conduct or sadomasochistic abuse, as also defined in Section 18.2-390, coprophilia, urophilia or fetishism.

Deputy Superintendent of Instruction Major Warner Warner was uncertain how often such situations might arise. “I will tell you having been a principal 10 years I don’t know of anyone who teaches with sexually explicit material,” Warner said.

Board members said they were comfortable with the policy being placed on the consent agenda for the December meeting. The consent agenda is a tool to streamline meetings by grouping non-controversial items so they can be passed with a single motion and vote.

“It doesn’t look like we’re outright banning anything,” Board Member

Stephanie Litter-Reber said. “We’re just making sure that parents are aware they have the opportunity to opt out.”

Vincent Gallo, who is resigning his Scott District seat to make way for recent election winner Clay Campbell, said that since lesson plans are sometimes shared among teachers and schools, he wanted to ensure that if a lesson plan required parental notification at one school, other schools that teach the same lesson also would receive a heads up.

Library books

“Instructional materials” include library books if the books are used to complete assignments or are part

of an academic or extra-curricular education program, Warner said.

Administrators met with librarians for several hours to discuss how the policy might work in libraries.

“It’s not reasonable to expect the librarians (or assistants) to go through and read all these books,” Superintendent David Jeck said.

“It’s just not possible, so they’re relying on reviews, typically.”

That is why parental notification is so important, administrators said.

One middle school is allowing parents to opt into notifications about the books their children check out.

So far, fewer than 15 parents have signed up.

Council votes against gas station Council also nixes proposal to increase housing density in the central business district

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Warrenton Town Council on Nov. 9 rejected Harris Teeter’s proposal for a gas station near the grocery chain’s store at the North Rock Shopping Center on Fletcher Drive after nearby residents raised concerns at a public hearing about everything from toxic fumes and dangerous traffic patterns to light and noise pollution.

The shopping center is near the intersection of Blackwell Road and U.S. 29.

The council voted 4-3 to deny Harris Teeter’s proposed revision to the North Rock Planned Unit Development Master Plan and its request for a special-use permit to allow for the construction of an eight-pump service station. The gas station would have been built at a shopping-center site originally intended for a bank with drive-through lanes.

Several residents of the North Rock area spoke in opposition to the gas station Wednesday night. “I want you to know that North Rock is adamantly opposed to a gas station in the North Rock Shopping Center,” said Roy Francis, president of the North Rock Residential Association.

“Please consider the safety and welfare of the residents of North Rock and the citizens of the town of Warrenton,” Francis said. “Because of the access issues, I caution you that should a major disastrous event take place at that location, I hesitate to say

Nevill, who was first elected in 2018, garnered 2,072 votes to 2,061 for Carlos, whose term as an at-large member of the Warrenton Town Council will expire at the end of the year.

Warrenton Town Councilmember Renard Carlos (at-large) conceded the race for mayor Monday evening. His term on the council ends Dec. 31.

Since Sean Polster (at-large) also chose not to run for re-election to the council, incoming council members Paul Mooney and David McGuire will begin their terms on the council Jan. 1, replacing Carlos and Polster. Mooney and McGuire ran unopposed in last week’s election.

“I ran an honest and positive campaign, and I have been heartened by the support I have received across all walks of life,” Nevill said.

Warrenton Town Council approves 47 townhomes, retail, park at Waterloo Junction WATERLOO, from page 1 time to review the application, but that motion failed to gain traction with other council members. “We should understand that what we’re creating here is a form of precedent,” Semple said. “Once we approve this, we may be actually inviting or encouraging similar types of developments along Broadview in its entirety.”

Semple emphasized that he had no problem with Waterloo Junction and considered it to be a much-needed way to help boost the inventory of attainable housing in Warrenton.

However, he wanted to make sure other council members understood that. “This is going to be what I call the lead horse in a variety of potential development down the road.”

They understood.

“I think this project is exactly the kind of kickstart we need to bring some affordable housing and bring some additional ‘missing middle’ to our community,” Council Member Sean Polster (at large) said. The “missing middle’” refers to multiunit housing intended for young families or others who have been priced out of large, single-family detached homes.

The owner of O’Brien’s is looking forward to the project, Polster said.

“He’s excited that it’s expanding his outdoor seating,” he said. “He’s excited at the fact there’s going to be a park there, that there’s going to be improvements to the entrances and exits.”

“It recreates the same sense of

community that you see in downtown, where you have people walking to residences, walking to restaurants, walking to shops,” Mayor Carter Nevill said. “And I think the more we are able to bring that closer to our neighborhoods, the better we create our environment to better serve the wellbeing of our residents.”

“I’ve spoken to my neighbors about it (and) while there are always a few in disagreement, the majority like this project and would like to see something like this on that parcel, so I fully support it,” said Vice Mayor James Hartman (Ward 4), who lives near the site bounded by Broadview Avenue, Bear Wallow Road and Norfolk Drive.

“Thank you to the owner for making the investment in our town,” Council Member Jay Heroux (Ward 5) said. “I think it’s a positive first step for Broadview. I understand there’s some traffic concerns,” he said. But, he added, “We had a good discussion today about traffic, and we know the Broadview project’s going to be kicking off soon.” A project to improve safety on Broadview Avenue could begin as soon as January 2024, according to a report from town staff.

When will the project move forward?

Passers-by may notice homes starting to go vertical by January or February 2024 at the earliest, said Keith Farrish, owner of Farrish Properties and Acquisitions, parent company of Broadview Holdings,

which owns the property. Units will have up to three bedrooms and run about 1,800 square feet, including a ground floor garage, Farrish said.

Here is Farrish’s possible timeline for the project: Site-plan approval is expected to take up to eight months. That approval comes from town staff and does not require elected officials to vote again.

Sitework, which includes water, sewer and stormwater management will happen next. Estimated time to complete is six months.

Construction on townhomes could start as soon as January or February of 2024.

“Elated” is how Farrish described his feelings after the council approved Waterloo Junction at its regular November meeting, delayed to Wednesday, Nov. 9, because of Election Day on Tuesday.

Farrish said he might have given up on the application process if not for the town’s planning staff and especially Planning Manager Denise Harris. “If Denise Harris didn’t continually thank me for sticking it out, I‘m not sure I would have stuck it out,” Farrish said.

The toughest part was getting an amendment to the town’s comprehensive plan to allow “mixed use” — retail and residential— at the site, Farrish said. The rest of the process went more smoothly.

The entire project has been in the works for four years, he said. Warrenton has a reputation as a difficult

town in which to get building projects approved, he said. “They are notorious,” Farrish said of Warrenton officials. “They’ve had a notorious reputation for 30 years. As far as I’m concerned, that’s all gone.” Farrish hopes Waterloo Junction signals to other developers that the tide may be turning for the right projects.

To move forward Wednesday, the town council had to approve three separate motions: a rezoning approval, a comprehensive plan amendment and a special use permit. All three motions passed unanimously.

About the townhomes

The townhomes will be 16 feet wide rather than 20 feet, as they are elsewhere in town. That is about the length of two surfboards laid end to end. The change was required to keep the price down, but it is not unusual for townhomes in densely populated areas, Farrish said.

Affordable housing units

Farrish said that, depending on market conditions, 42 of the townhomes could be priced in the low $400,000s.

Five would be designated “affordable dwelling units.” One of the six proposed rental apartments on the second floor of O’Brien’s would also be designated as an affordable unit.

How the price for those units will be calculated was not immediately clear.

No residents spoke for or against the large development at the public hearing held Wednesday night.

Council votes against gas station STATION, from page 7

Increased housing density in central business district rejected

The Warrenton Town Council rejected a proposal that would have created at least 60 and eventually as many as 136 affordable housing units in the core of Old Town and the rest of its small central business district.

The apartments would have gone above shops in the central business district. Up to 1,108 units, averaging 500 square feet, but no smaller than 300 square feet, could be built. A property owner who built four or more units have been required to make 25% of those units affordable under HUD guide-

lines, which are based on tenants’ income and other factors.

Understanding the true impact of the proposal on parking and trash pickup in Old Town is very difficult, Heroux said prior to voting. “There is some goodness in this, and I see that,” Heroux said. But too many questions remain unanswered, he said. “What I’m trying to understand is the true impact.”

Despite their enthusiasm for affordable housing, council members continued to worry about parking for new renters in Old Town, where parking already is sometimes difficult to find. The proposed zoning text amendment would have required property owners to demonstrate they could provide adequate parking on-site or conduct a traffic study showing adequate parking was available within municipal lots. If they couldn’t, they would have paid the town $3,650 per space to help fund future parking improvements.

Hamby said he shared many of Heroux’s concerns. “I don’t think we ever answered parking,” he said. “I don’t think that we ever answered trash.

There’s a lot of questions with this.

“I’m not going to support this the way it is, but I think there’s some stuff in here that we should work on, that we can use as an opportunity,” Hamby said.

Councilman Renard Carlos supported the plan and suggested tabling the proposal to allow time for more study of potential problems. He said he hopes to put together an affordable housing committee. There had been an attempt to form an affordable housing committee before, but Carlos said that it did not come together.

Councilman Sean Polster (at large) and Mayor Carter Nevill recused themselves from voting because they own property in Old Town. (Nevill would only have voted in the case of a tie.)

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS County supervisors delay Rock Springs POD vote

County supervisors decided to delay until next month action on an application from Columbia Gas to build a new natural gas point of delivery facility on Riley Road northeast of Warrenton. The new facility would replace a 52-year-old existing POD located less than 1,000 feet away, on Dumfries Road, from the new site.

Columbia serves more than 1,600 homes and businesses from the existing facility but says that the existing POD’s age means that its safety and reliability could begin to deteriorate in the coming years. If it is unable to gain approval to build a new POD in the area, Columbia says that eventually it may have to restrict access to natural gas for the customers serviced by the facility. Columbia first began efforts in 2019 to find an agreeable site for a new facility. The current site is not large enough to build a modern facility to current safety standards, according to the company.

Many neighbors of the existing and proposed facility have vehemently opposed construction of a new POD because, they say, Columbia can’t be trusted to build it to safe standards. Several spoke to that effect at a public hearing last week.

Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District), who represents the area, has been critical of Columbia’s public-outreach efforts. He argued that

Columbia Gas’ Rock Springs point of delivery facility routes natural gas from the TransCanada Pipeline, which runs along Riley Road, to more than 1,600 homes and businesses northeast of Warrenton. It is one of three PODs in Fauquier County.

Board meetings

The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors convened Thursday, Nov. 10, for its regular monthly work sessions, meeting and public hearings. The next board meeting is Dec. 8.

A motion to deny the application outright failed on a 2-2 vote at the board’s Nov. 10 meeting, with supervisors Trumbo and Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) voting to nix Columbia’s proposal. Supervisors then voted 3-1 to delay a decision

until next month’s board meeting, which will take place Dec. 8.

More details about Warrenton BLA impacts

After the Warrenton Town Council this summer sent a formal notice of its proposed boundary line adjustment to the county, county staff delivered a report to supervisors detailing some of the proposal’s potential impact. Supervisors took no concrete steps following a work session last week except to ask county staff to identify outside experts that

may help the county navigate negotiations with the town.

If the 1,615 acres included in the proposal were adjusted into town limits, the county could lose about $1.23 million in annual tax revenue, according to the staff report. Most of this loss would come from the “panhandle” included in the BLA proposal, which includes the strip of vehicle dealerships, chain restaurants and other commercial properties on the south side of U.S. 15/29, northeast of existing town limits. The county’s 6% meals tax, which was implemented for the first time this summer, is alone expected to generate $613,000 annually from food-service businesses in the panhandle.

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.

Remembering local heroes

The Rotary Club of Warrenton honored 150 community heroes this past weekend at Laurel Ridge Community College. Each flag had a medallion indicating the hero and who honored them.

The Fauquier Times will arrive on Tuesday of Thanksgiving week Since Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 24, the Fauquier Times has moved its deadlines by one day to accommodate the federal holiday.

Next week’s print edition will be printed Monday, Nov. 21 and delivered to subscribers on Tuesday, Nov. 22 — one day earlier than normal.

The deadline for advertisements, letters to the editor and editorial content is Friday, Nov. 18.

Additionally, people living in areas adjusted into town limits would have to pay town taxes. For 216 people, that would mean an average annual increase of $228 per year in personal property taxes, according to the staff report. The owners of 168 properties would also pay an average of $210 in town real estate taxes in addition to county property taxes under current town tax rates. Those residents would be entitled to trash pickup and other services available to town residents.

County Administrator Paul McCulla emphasized that a BLA agreement, which must be approved by a three-judge panel to take effect, can include a broad range of negotiated provisions, including revenue-sharing agreements and even joint zoning jurisdiction. “There are wideopen possibilities to address issues and concerns that the board may have,” McCulla said.

Supervisors were eager to explore hiring outside experts to help them understand the proposal’s ramifications. McCulla said he will report back to the board with a list of potential consultants.

The county’s full 29-page report on the BLA proposal can be found at fauquiercounty.gov.

Changes to real estate reassessment

Fauquier County Commissioner of the Revenue Eric Maybach pitched supervisors on the idea of changing how the county reassesses the value of real estate for tax purposes. Currently, the county hires an outside

company to conduct reassessments every four years. Maybach proposed having county employees conduct reassessments instead — and moving from a four-year to a two-year cycle.

Maybach said that moving to an in-house reassessment model would save money, establish more consistency in the process, enable more accurate budget projections and make the process more transparent for county landowners. The most important benefit, he said, would make the process more accountable and responsive to complaints. “Our residents will have accountability with myself and my staff to make sure they can interact with someone that’s here,” he said. Dedicated county staff would be available yearround to answer questions.

A budget office analysis found that enacting Maybach’s proposals would save $356,000 during the 2026 cycle and $786,000 per cycle going forward. (There are some onetime equipment costs that would reduce the cost-savings in the first cycle, according to budget director Lisa Henty.)

Supervisors don’t need to decide whether to move to a two-year reassessment cycle until tax year 2026.

Tax-exempt properties

Supervisors unanimously approved an ordinance to require organizations exempt from property taxes to re-apply for tax-exempt status every three years. Currently, there is no requirement to verify compliance after supervisors first grant an organization an exemption from paying property taxes.

Sheriff sworn in

Flanked by his wife, Crystal, Fauquier County Sheriff Jeremy Falls was sworn in Nov. 9 by Clerk of the Circuit Court Gail Barb. Falls was unopposed in a special election Nov. 8 to serve out the remaining term of former Sheriff Bob Mosier, who resigned in January to take up a state cabinet position. Falls had served in an interim role since Mosier’s resignation and has now been elected to serve through 2023. A regular election will be held next November to elect a sheriff to a four-year term.

Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill re-elected by 11-vote margin ELECTION, from page 8 Allison told the Fauquier Times Monday evening that he plans to continue to be an active participant as a private citizen in discussions about the future of the town. “As long as I am a member of this community, I will continue to be active. … It hasn’t swayed me from wanting to see what’s best for Remington.”

Allison argued that the close result indicates that “there’s a division on the direction [of the town]” and that Polk does not have a clear mandate to push through his policy initiatives without significant input from the council and from town residents. “I think they need to do a better job of listening to the entire public and not a minority,” Allison said of Polk and his allies. “We all want to see Remington thrive, but I think it needs to be done in the right way.”

And, he said, “ I hope that you guys in the press take more inter-

est in Remington and … hold those members [of council] accountable for things that don’t make sense. I know we’re a small town but the people who live here, we love this town.”

All six town council seats were also on the ballot. Incumbents Stan Heaney Sr., Richard Heflin Jr., Van Loving and Susan Tiffany won re-election along with newcomers Morgan Butler Lewis and Veronica Meadows. With 141 votes, Loving received the most votes of any town council candidate. Council terms are two years.

Heflin and Tiffany have frequently criticized Polk during his 1 1/2 years as mayor, arguing that he has left the council in the dark on important policy discussions. Polk endorsed Heaney, Loving, Lewis and Meadows during the campaign.

Candidates Luann Myatt and Richard Moxley, whom Polk also endorsed, finished outside the top six and were not elected.

Back from an annual choral pilgrimage, Piedmont Singers set for Dec. 3 concert SINGERS, from page 2 The choir for the 2022 Choral Pilgrimage included 19 singers from 11 churches and 12 communities, including singers from Kentucky and Colorado. Todd Grivetti, music director at St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Herndon, acted as organist for the most recent trip. Melody Harmon, music director at First United Methodist Church, Winchester, and Georgiann Toole, former music director at Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church, served as conductors.

Oesterling and the Rev. Justin Ivatts, rector of Grace Episcopal Church, Berryville, were co-leaders.

The pilgrimage coincided with the period of mourning and thanks-

giving for the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II. “We all felt it was a great honor to participate in worship and events with Anglican church communities during this historic time,” said Oesterling. “Several of our pilgrims signed books of condolence for the queen, available in the cathedrals where we sang.”

Looking ahead, The Piedmont Singers will present Christmas concerts featuring the exquisite music for the season by Ralph Vaughan Williams and other English composers of the 20th century. The concerts are scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3, 7 p.m. at Grace Church, The Plains, and Sunday, Dec. 4, 4 p.m. at Grace Church, Berryville.

LEGAL N NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD (RPS) FILING BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2022-00124 • Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has submitted its 2022 Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”) filing (“2022 RPS Filing”). The 2022 RPS Filing includes Dominion’s RPS Development Plan and requests for approval to construct eight new utility-scale projects and to enter into 13 new power purchase agreements.

• Dominion requests approval of revised Rider CE with a revenue requirement of $89,154,000 over the rate year beginning May 1, 2023, and concluding April 30, 2024. According to Dominion, this amount would increase a typical residential customer’s bill using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by $0.38.

• The State Corporation Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on January 30, 2023, at 10 a.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony.

• The Commission will hold an evidentiary hearing in this case on January 31, 2023, at 10 a.m.

• Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information.

During its 2020 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapters 1193 (HB 1526) and 1194 (SB 851) of the 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly. These duplicate Acts of Assembly, known as the Virginia Clean Economy Act (“VCEA”), became effective on July 1, 2020. The VCEA, inter alia, establishes a mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard (“RPS”) program (“RPS Program”) for Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) in § 56-585.5 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”). Subdivision D 4 of Code § 56-585.5 requires Dominion to submit annually to the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) plans and petitions for approval of new solar and onshore wind generation capacity (“RPS Filing”). The Commission must determine whether the RPS Filing is reasonable and prudent, giving due consideration to the following factors: (i) the RPS and carbon dioxide reduction requirements in Code § 56-585.5, (ii) the promotion of new renewable generation and energy storage resources within the Commonwealth, and associated economic development, and (iii) fuel savings projected to be achieved by the plan.

On October 14, 2022, Dominion submitted its annual RPS Filing to the Commission (“2022 RPS Filing” or “Petition”). The 2022 RPS Filing requests the Commission: (i) Approve the Company’s annual plan for the development of new solar, onshore wind, and energy storage resources (“RPS Development Plan”) in connection with the mandatory RPS Program pursuant to Code § 56-585.5 D 4;

(ii) Grant certificates of public convenience and necessity (“CPCNs”) and approval to construct and operate 8 utility-scale projects totaling approximately 474 megawatts (“MW”) of solar and 15.7 MW of energy storage (“CE-3 Projects”) pursuant to Code § 56-580 D; (iii) Approve to recover through the Rider CE rate adjustment clause (“RAC”) the costs of (a) the CE-3 Projects and related interconnection facilities and (b) two distributed solar projects, representing four distributed solar facilities, totaling approximately 6 MW, and related interconnection facilities (“CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects”) pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6; (iv) Approve an update to Rider CE for recovery of costs associated with solar projects and related interconnection facilities as approved by the Commission in prior RPS Filing proceedings; and (v) Make a prudence determination for the Company to enter into 13 power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) for solar and energy storage resources totaling approximately 270 MW of solar and 49 MW of energy storage (“CE-3 PPAs”) pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:4.

RPS Development Plan Dominion states that its RPS Development Plan reports on the Company’s progress toward meeting the solar, onshore wind, and energy storage development targets outlined in the VCEA and presents the Company’s development plan for solar, onshore wind, and energy storage facilities through 2035.

The 2022 RPS Filing shows that Dominion has a total of 2,616.0 MW of solar and onshore wind as of August 31, 2022 from facilities that are in operation, under construction, or proposed for approval, including the proposed CE-3 Projects, the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects, and the CE-3 PPAs. For energy storage, the 2022 RPS Filing shows the Company has 167.7 MW of energy storage resources in operation, under construction, or proposed for approval, including the relevant proposed CE-3 Projects and CE-3 PPAs. The Company’s RPS Development Plan calls for additional investment in solar, onshore wind, and energy storage through 2035. For example, by 2035, Dominion projects it will have 13,698.6 MW of utility-scale solar and onshore wind resources in operation. Dominion also projects it will have 2,700 MW of energy storage resources in operation by 2035. The Company states that it plans to use the renewable energy certificates produced by the projects and PPAs shown in its RPS Development Plan towards its annual RPS Program requirements.

The Company also provided a consolidated bill analysis calculating the projected monthly bill through 2035 for residential, small general service, and large general service customers for each alternative plan presented in the Company’s 2022 Integrated Resource Plan Update. For Alternative Plan B, for example, the Company projects the monthly bill of a Virginia residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours (“kWh”) per month to be $213.36 by 2035, an increase of $97.18 over the May 1, 2020 level of $116.18, using the methodology approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00134. The Company’s bill projections are not final and all customer rates are subject to regulatory approval.

The Company also presents its 2021 RPS Program Compliance Report in the Petition, certifying compliance with the RPS Program for compliance year 2021.

CE-3 Projects The Company seeks CPCNs and approval to construct and operate the CE-3 Projects, which consist of seven utility-scale solar generating facilities totaling approximately 474 MW (“CE-3 Solar Projects”), and one stand-alone energy storage resource totaling approximately 15.7 MW (“CE-3 Storage Project”). The name, size, locality, interconnection and projected commercial operation date (“COD”) for each of the CE-3 Projects is provided below: Project Bridleton Cerulean Courthouse Kings Creek Moon Corner North Ridge Southern Virginia Shands

Utility-Scale Storage

The Company asserts that the CE-3 Projects are needed to comply with the VCEA and to serve customers’ capacity and energy needs. According to the Company, the total estimated costs for the CE-3 Solar Projects are approximately $1.187 billion, excluding financing costs, or approximately $2,505 per kilowatt (“kW”) at the total 474 MW (nominal AC) rating. Dominion further states that the total estimated cost for the CE-3 Storage Project is approximately $57.6 million, excluding financing costs, or approximately $3,669 per kW. The Company further states that the federal Inflation Reduction Act, which was effective August 16, 2022, includes various climate and energy provisions expected to have a positive economic impact on the CE-3 Projects and the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects in the form of federal tax credits. The Company states it “is actively reviewing the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act and will provide additional information as this case proceeds when appropriate.”

Rider CE Dominion asks the Commission to approve revised Rider CE for the rate year beginning May 1, 2023, and ending April 30, 2024 (“Rate Year”). Pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6, the Company seeks approval to recover through Rider CE the costs of the CE-3 Projects and C-E3 Distributed Solar Projects and the related distribution and transmission interconnection facilities, as well as costs associated with solar projects and related interconnection facilities that were previously approved by the Commission in prior RPS Filings.

As to the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects, these projects consist of two distributed solar projects, representing four distributed solar facilities, totaling approximately 6 MW, and related interconnection facilities. The Company asserts that the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects are needed to comply with the VCEA and to serve customers’ capacity and energy needs. According to the Company, the total estimated costs for the CE-3 Distributed Solar Projects are approximately $28.7 million, excluding financing costs, or approximately $4,775 per kW at the total 6 MW (nominal AC) rating.

The Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $89,154,000 in Rider CE for service rendered during the Rate Year. If the proposed total revenue requirement for the Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its revised Rider CE on May 1, 2023, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month by approximately $0.38.

NOTICE CE-3 PPAs Prudence Determination In its 2022 RPS Filing, Dominion also seeks a prudence determination for the CE-3 PPAs pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:4 H. The CE-3 PPAs consist of: (i) five PPAs for utility-scale solar generating facilities totaling approximately 254 MW; (ii) two PPAs for stand-alone energy storage resources totaling approximately 49 MW, and (iii) six PPAs for distributed solar generating facilities totaling approximately 16 MW. Dominion asserts that the CE-3 PPAs are needed to comply with the VCEA and to serve customers’ capacity and energy needs. The Company states that it intends to recover the costs of the CE-3 PPAs through Rider PPA, which is one of the rate recovery mechanisms included in the overarching cost recovery framework that was approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00134.

KETTLE RUN FOOTBALL WINS PLAYOFF OPENER

By Peter Brewington and Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writers

Simply put, the Kettle NEXT GAME: Run football program needFriday HOME vs. ed a playoff victory and Millbrook (6-5) in Dulles District foe Heritage Class 3 Region C was in the way. semifinals, 7 p.m.

After bowing out in disappointing fashion a year ago at home in their first postseason game, the top-seeded Cougars did not let it happen again, surging past the visiting Pride with ease, 38-7, in Thursday’s Class 4 Region C quarterfinal.

“We have been great in the conference but the minute we hit a Dulles team the wheels fell off, season’s over. So again, watching the kids respond to a challenge, I can’t be more pleased as a coach,” said coach Charlie Porterfield, whose Cougars have won the last three Northwestern District titles.

“Oh, I’m so happy, so excited to, like, finally go to the second game of the playoffs and not just be a first round on a blowout,” said senior quarterback Abram Chumley, whose team hosts Millbrook (6-5) Friday in the region semis.

Kettle Run’s frustrations with Dulles teams have been well-documented. Tuscarora buried them 45-12 last year in Nokesville in the region playoff opener. The year before, Broad Run beat them 53-28 in the pandemic-shortened season in the region semifinals, also held at Kettle Run. In this playoff win, Kettle Run delivered big plays so frequently it felt like water gushing from an open fire hydrant. Chumley fired four TD pass-

Jordan Tapscott set the tone early with a long TD catch and a sensational interception. Lineman Josh Witte ripped a ball from a Heritage running back early on when the game was tight.

“We gave them a lot of momentum they continued to build off of,” said Heritage coach Travis

Huff, whose squad finished 4-7.

Kettle Run opened the scoring late in the first quarter after Rodgers roared in and blocked a Heritage punt. Soon senior Andrew Curry’s 26yard field goal made it 3-0.

Witte then produced an eye-opening turnover, emerging from a scrum with the ball and racing See KETTLE RUN, page 25

FAUQUIER’S SCOTT TAKES SECOND AT STATE CROSS COUNTRY MEET Falcon Paccassi is 14th in boys race and also medals

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier harrier Cassidy Scott is used to winning. This time second place was also prestigious.

The Falcon junior was runner-up at Saturday’s Class 4 state meet at the 5,000-meter Oatlands Plantation course near Leesburg. Jefferson Park junior Zoie Lamanna won the title by 22 seconds over Scott, who took the silver medal in 19 minutes, six seconds.

Fauquier senior Peter Paccassi finished 14th among the 100 entries to earn an all-state medal.

He finished in 16 minutes, 58 seconds. Both he and Scott were the lone county qualifiers in their respective races.

“Those two young people did an outstanding job,” Fauquier coach Quentin Jones praised. “It was a great day.”

Scott, who was seventh at states both as a freshman and sophomore, came in at the No. 3 seed after winning the Northwestern District and Region 4C meets.

Scott was toward the rear of the first group of 10 runners in the 102-girls field, but she began

passing people and took the lead with six or seven girls in close pursuit.

“A lot of girls started out the first mile really fast, and I knew of the hills that were to come in the second half of the race,” Scott said. “So, I had to be patient.

“Once we crossed one mile, the pace slowed down, and I let gravity take me down one of the hills,” she said of her move to the front. “I just saw my opportunity to get in the front and took it.”

The Falcon held first place for 600-plus meters before Jefferson Forest’s Lamanna pulled even and assumed leadership by several strides.

Lamanna then made a strong move approximately 2,800 meters in, but Scott and others did not follow. By the time Lamanna hit the 3,200-meter line, she had opened an appreciable gap and kept accelerating.

Scott anticipated a Lamanna surge near the two-mile point, but the Jefferson Forest runner went earlier. “I knew Zoie was going to start to push hard the last mile, but it still surprised me when she made that move. I tried to stay with her but she was really strong,” Scott said.

Lamanna won in 18:44 seconds for her first state cross country title.

‘I KNOW IT’S TOUGH’ Falcons’ fall to Courtland 7-0 in field hockey quarterfinals, ending memorable run

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Making its first Class 4 state tournament appearance since 2016, the Fauquier High field hockey team was greeted with a flood of early goals by host Courtland, which went on to win 7-0 in the Nov. 8 state quarterfinal.

“I know it’s tough,” Fauquier coach Brooke Settle told her disappointed squad in her post-game comments. “But I want you to know I am proud of each and every one of you.”

Fauquier’s final 14-6 overall record is believed to be the second-most victories in a season. The school record of 16 was achieved by the 1994 squad.

The Falcons registered an 11game winning streak and captured the Northwestern District’s regular-season and postseason tournament crowns. Fauquier posted a 10-0 mark versus its league foes. The team then finished as the Region 4D runner-up to Loudoun Valley.

Star senior Jackie Timberlake was the unanimous selection as Northwestern District Player of the Year.

Settle was Coach of the Year.

standoff through regulation and two overtimes.

In Sunday’s championship bout, Great Bridge claimed its third

straight trophy with a 2-0 win over Courtland.

Against Fauquier, Courtland scored three times in the opening eight minutes and added two more scores before the end of the period to take a massive 5-0 lead. The Cougars added a second-quarter score and one more in the third period.

Fauquier had scored in 12 straight games before, showing resolve in facing early defeats to win several times.

But Courtland’s early gut punch knocked the wind out of the Falcons’ sails. The team appeared a bit hesitant, and defensive errors and weak clearing attempts led to the Cougars’ ability to launch shots without pressure.

The Fredericksburg area is one of Virginia’s biggest field hockey hotbeds along with the Tidewater region, so Settle told her team they were a special group.

“I remind the girls that many of these teams have been playing since they were five and six [years old] with the youth programs that we don’t have here,” Settle said after a regional win versus Loudoun County and the loss to Loudoun Valley.

“The majority of my team picked up a stick for the first time ever in the ninth grade. To get this far is something to be proud of,” she praised.

Fauquier generated some substantial scoring chances in the second and third quarters. Several resulted in penalty corners, but Courtland’s defense nullified any Falcon shot attempts.

ALL-NORTHWESTERN DISTRICT FIELD HOCKEY TEAM

Special to the Fauquier Times

League champion and state quarterfinalist Fauquier dominated the balloting last week for 2022 Northwestern District field hockey all-star teams.

The Falcons had nine first and second team selections and captured both major awards, as senior midfielder Jackie Timberlake was Player of the Year and Brooke Settle was Coach of the Year.

Settle is ecstatic with Timberlake’s selection, citing her versatility as an offensive force and the Falcons’ on-field engine who was also a defensive stopper.

“There was no doubt. She definitely deserves it,” said Settle. “In fact, she got a perfect score.

She was the No. 1 player on our field.”

Timberlake was the Falcons’ second-highest scorer with nine goals and led the district with 12 assists. “That shows the strength of her dynamics.

In every sense, she has been a big part,” said Settle, who noted the four-year letterman also posted seven defensive saves.

“Which shows she was just everywhere,” according to Settle.

“It is nice to know all my hard work over the years has paid off. I was really happy when I heard,” Timberlake said.

Joining Timberlake on the first team are fellow Falcons Marissa Camarca (eight goals, three assists, two defensive saves), Kirsten Settle (eight goals, two assists), Brooklyn Maldonado (nine saves, two goals) and McKenna Locke (one goal, three assists).

Kettle Run’s had five first-team players, led by forward Kaitlyn Nakamara, whose 16 goals made her the county’s highest scorer for the second consecutive season. She also handed out seven assists. Other first team Cougars are goalkeeper Katie Bloom (119 saves), Charlotte Bloom (six goals,

Led by Fauquier’s hard-hitting Towle, 11 county athletes make all-district volleyball squad

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Northwestern District volleyball coaches recently voted eleven Fauquier County players to positions on the league’s 2022 all-district teams.

Fauquier led the way with five total players including one first team nod in junior Caroline Towle, who was the lone county athlete to garner first-team honors. An outside hitter, Towle finished as Fauquier’s leader with 177 kills and 55 service aces to go with her 179 digs.

Towle was also the only county girl to earn all-region honors, making second team.

Fauquier also had two second team selections in senior libero Mikayla Gilmore and junior setter Marcela Lawhorn. Gilmore accounted for a team-leading 217 digs and notched 18 service aces.

Lawhorn handed out 419 assists and picked up 133. Digs.

The two Falcons making honorable mention were outside hitter Leah Kelso, who posted 112 kills, 71 digs and 25 aces, and middle hitter Audrey Hall, who had 3 solo blocks, 43 assisted blocks, 96 kills and 27 aces.

KETTLE RUN, from page 21 free for 15 yards after stripping a Heritage running back. “I went to finish up the tackle and my hand was just right in place where the ball was, so I just ripped it and kind of, like, scooped it midair and then just turned around and started running,” said the senior lineman.

Soon Tapscott was reaching high for a pass on a crossing route for a 31-yard strike from Chumley.

Tapscott said he felt the TD vibe before the snap. “When they called the play, I kind of looked on the field and mapped it out. I went inside, ran a route, and I was too quick enough for them to catch me,” Tapscott said.

Tapscott then had acrobatic interception moments later. “I knew they were going to take a shot. The dude ran a fade and I read it perfectly. I was over top of the route, but we both went up and I went up better,” he said.

Kettle Run drove 82 yards, using six runs by Colton Quaker before Chumley’s 3-yard TD rumble around the right side, with Curry’s kick making it 17-0.

CROSS COUNTRY, from page 21 Scott said she fell into a “no man’s land” scenario of having no one close enough to chase and no one to run with or to push her. “When Zoie got out of reach, I knew there was a girl not far behind me. My dad (assistant coach Mark Scott) was yelling that the girl was coming,” Scott said.

Knowing second place was in doubt, Scott kept pushing, “It was tough to keep the pace, but I also only had about 800 meters left. I knew I was almost done and just had to finish.”

Coach Jones also joined in the

chorus warning Scott of the runner approaching from behind. “I didn’t want her to get complacent. That girl was gaining on her,” Jones said, adding sometimes focus wanes when the runner in front has broken contact.

Scott was the silver medalist at 19:06, and was seven seconds faster than bronze medalist Kylie Brooks of Jamestown (19:13).

Six-year boys drought ends

top 20 runners by the time Jones saw him for the first time less than one and one-half miles into the run.

Paccassi was 18th at the time, and the coach continued to monitor the race via binoculars. Jones eventually lost sight but when the Falcon reappeared, Paccassi was up to 14th.

“He had picked off several guys and looked strong before he ran out of real estate. He had a really nice run. He put himself up there with the top guys and held that position,” Jones said.

Paccassi’s time was 16:58.

burg, who won in 15:46 over Connor Rutherford of Jefferson Forest, who was 10 seconds back.

Blacksburg won the boys and girls crowns. Blacksburg’s boys scored 64 points to edge Handley’s 1, with Western Albemarle a close third at 75. Atlee (84) and Jefferson Forest (112) rounded out the top five.

The Blacksburg girls won by a narrow 101-105 margin over Atlee, with Tuscarora in dogged pursuit at 110. Others in the top five were Jamestown (123) and Western Albemarle (135).

Three minutes into the second half, Chumley hit Rodgers for a 34-yard connection on a delayed crossing route. Rodgers was wide open in the middle and raced across to the left sideline to make it 24-0. “I saw the defender slip. When that happened, I knew I could make the edge and beat him on that,” said Rodgers.

Moments later, Rodgers raced in and stripped quarterback Jackson Kipp and recovered the ball himself at the Heritage 9-yard line. That led to Chumley’s 8-yard TD pass to Connor Adair on a rollout, making it 31-0.

Chumley’s fourth TD pass of the night was a 41-yard heave to Rodgers, making it 38-0 after Kelsi Navin’s extra point kick.

With Heritage unable to move the ball through the air, there seemed little chance of a comeback after Kettle Run had gone ahead by three scores.

Kettle Run won its first playoff game since beating Loudoun Valley 35-9 in 2017 and needs two more wins to make the Class 4 state semifinals. The Cougars made back-to-back state Class 3 semifinal appearances in 2011 and 2012, losing to James Monroe both years.

YOUR FUNERAL DIRECTOR A funeral director, sometimes called an undertaker, is the person who assists family members with important decisions they must make when a loved one passes.

A funeral director may also refer to the person who owns and operates a funeral home that provides these services, including preparing the body for burial. If a death in your family is imminent, you can contact a funeral director in advance and then again as soon as the death takes place. They will help you get a legal pronouncement of death, notify the coroner, and make arrangements to transport the body. The funeral director can also help with decisions about the funeral location, type of service, and the type of interment (cremation or burial).

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.

The funeral director’s main function is to assist you with the necessary details of the funeral process. To learn more about our services, please call (540) 347-3431.
