Warrenton Planning Commission did not have authority to table data center application, says town attorney Town council will decide how to proceed at meeting set for Dec. 13

Warrenton Planning Commissioner James Lawrence

The Warrenton Planning Commission acted outside its authority last week when it indefinitely postponed a vote on Amazon’s application for a data center on Blackwell Road, Warrenton’s interim town manager said in a news release Monday.

In voting to put off the vote indefinitely, the planning commission ignored guidance from the town attorney, Interim Town Manager Christopher Martino said in the release.

Despite receiving legal guidance

warning that tabling the application indefinitely would violate Virginia law, planning commissioners decided the public hearing scheduled for that night was not necessary, arguing that they had the authority to tell Amazon to re-submit its application with more information. The 30 people who signed up to speak at the scheduled public hearing did not address the commission.

The town council, which has the final say on zoning matters, will discuss how to proceed at its Dec. 13 meeting.

Administrators at half of Fauquier County public schools say they are unable to provide sufficient mental-health support for students and staff, according to a recent report on school safety and climate presented recently at a school board meeting.

Even so, students say their schools’ security staff makes them feel safe, and they believe adults at school “truly care” about them.

St. John Catholic school students inspire their principal to take on new adventure

By Kelly O’Lone

Special to the Fauquier Times

St. John the Evangelist Catholic School sent its principal for a fall after receiving record-breaking donations from its first Talon Challenge. The children, for a donation, had a fun day of navigating physical obstacles while engaging in some healthy competition.

The school had a goal of $25,000 to update its fire and security system. The deal: If students met the fundraising goal, Principal Temple Macdonald pledged to go skydiving.

Students, along with sponsors and donations from friends and family, raised more than $31,000, which left Macdonald researching places to go skydiving in Virginia. He wanted to get his jump in before it got too cold.

Last year, he made a similar deal for the school’s color run, agreeing to sleep on the school’s roof if they beat the goal. The school accepted his challenge, surpassing the goal, and weeks later he was popping open his tent above the school’s entrance on a cold October night.

At the time, Macdonald acknowledged that he would have to develop something more significant this year and had the idea of skydiving. He described the prospect of jumping

out of an airplane. “It’s exciting and intriguing for me. There are always some nerves, but I’ve always been kind of an adrenaline junkie. Adventure is always a priority.”

While Macdonald had some nerves about skydiving, he said, “Life is great when it is full of experiences.”

Macdonald stuck to his end of the bargain and took to the skies Oct. 22 along with his instructor, Chris Whitley, from Skydive Orange in Orange, Virginia.

Before taking off, Macdonald said, “The challenge was psyching yourself in the 30 seconds before you leave.”

But he said he didn’t have any nerves or hesitations as he loaded the plane and took to the sky. A carefree vibe made its way throughout the plane, with Macdonald saying, “The instructor and others on the plane were great. We were joking around, laughing and having a great time.”

The light-hearted mood dissipated as the plane reached 13,000 feet to prepare for the final moments before the jump.

The St. John principal said, “Everyone was quiet. I could tell looking around that these experienced skydivers were visualizing what they needed to do to open the parachute and experience success yet again.”

He took a moment to reflect on the

When the plane doors opened, Macdonald could feel the powerful air pressure. The idea of it being dangerous didn’t cross his mind. “It was interesting that my brain did not register ‘danger’ when I was falling, maybe because the air pressure was so intense that it did not seem possible that you could fall to the ground from that distance,” he said.

“It was absolutely amazing. My brain went from anxiety and stress to wonder and amazement,” he said about the jump. “It was almost like you were floating.”

The free-fall lasted 50 seconds before the parachute opened; there was another four to five minutes of soaring time before approaching the ground.

Macdonald described the landing as “pure joy,” saying, “I had considered skydiving on multiple occasions, and I had finally taken the leap of faith. It was a good trust exercise.”

Macdonald shared the video of his skydiving adventure with the St. John staff and student body at a recent pep rally.

The only question the students have is, “What will he do next year?”

The school’s PTO consists of four volunteer board members who devoted months to organizing the Talon Challenge and ensuring the school reaches its goal of making vital safety upgrades -- and getting Macdonald in the sky.

Macdonald expressed his appreciation for the PTO, saying, “The PTO this year has been phenomenal. One of the greatest things we can give others is the gift of time. For them to volunteer hundreds of hours for something bigger is extraordinary.”

Data center developer signs agreements with Vint Hill, Catlett landowners

By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A Texas-based data center developer recently signed agreements with landowners in Vint Hill and Catlett, the first step in a process that could significantly advance the county’s efforts to spur development to industrial-zoned areas.

If built, the data center projects would give the county a source of tax revenue while minimizing the impact on schools and public services.

The current data center projects are in the “very early stages,” according to the developer. The details of the “co-development and profit-sharing agreements” signed in the past few months aren’t publicly available — only memorandums filed with the circuit court recording the existence of the deals; they outline how revenues will be shared between the developer and landowner if the site is developed.

Mike Lebow, a former Google data-center executive from Dallas, Texas, signed the deals on behalf of Headwaters Site Development, the company he founded earlier this year.

“We look forward to working

collaboratively with the community to develop successful projects and be a good neighbor in our efforts to be consistent with the approved Comprehensive Plan. We have been delighted with the welcome we have experienced so far in Fauquier County,” Lebow wrote in an email to the Fauquier Times Monday.

“Many folks in Fauquier County are traveling for jobs in other areas, creating increased traffic and straining community resources,” he added at another point. “We hope to take advantage of the existing high speed fiber and bring high quality jobs to the local workforce rather than the crowded markets of Ashburn and Manassas.”

Data centers are a by-right use of the Vint Hill property, which is next to an existing data center operated by OVHcloud. The Catlett site is an industrial-zoned parcel where another developer briefly proposed building a data center two years ago. Data center developers have previously expressed interest in both sites, but those proposals stalled.

A McLean-based real estate investment company purchased a 48-acre site in Vint Hill in October 2021. The property is zoned for up to 981,000 square feet of data center development. The possible layout of data centers indicated on the map comes from a 2021 concept development plan and does not necessarily represent current plans.

Warrenton Planning Commission did not have authority to table data center application, says town attorney PLANNING, from page 1 “The planning commission acted outside its authority by failing to act through a motion of a recommendation of approval or denial to the town council as required by the Town of Warrenton Zoning Ordinance 113.10.7. Due to the planning commission’s failure to act, the town council will consider the status of the application at its next meeting,” Martino said in the news release.

Warrenton Vice Mayor James Hartman (Ward 4) said the council must discuss the ramifications of the planning commission’s action before deciding what to do next. The town council could decide to hold a public hearing on Amazon’s special-use application in January.

Mayor Carter Nevill confirmed the town council would not take up Amazon’s application for a special-use permit in December; it would only address the problematic planning commission decision.

Martino explained in the release that Town Attorney Martin Crim told planning commissioners in advance of last week’s meeting that they would violate Virginia Code by delaying consideration of the application instead of voting to recommend approval or denial of the application.

The code stipulates that the commission must vote a zoning application up or down within 100 days of its first meeting on the application. Crim said that while the state code does not specifically mention special-use permits — the type of application filed by Amazon — Warrenton’s code stipulates that SUPs shall “be processed in the same manner as for zoning amendments.”

Crim’s formal guidance to the planning commission said, “If the applicant does not request a deferral, and the Planning Commission is not satisfied with the application, then the Planning Commission’s recourse is to vote to recommend denial. In that event, it should put the reasons for recommending denial on the record.”

‘My job is to decide yay or nay’

Planning Commission Chairman James Lawrence said at the Nov. 22 meeting that he disagreed with Crim’s legal opinion and urged commissioners to ignore the guidance. He argued that Amazon’s application was missing several components, moving to postpone consideration of Amazon’s permit application indefinitely “until we get more information.” The commission agreed to the postponement with a 5-0 vote.

On Tuesday morning, Lawrence declined to comment.

In an interview Monday evening, Commissioner Ali Zarabi noted that the town attorney was present at the planning commission meeting and offered advice on procedural rules

Warrenton Planning Commission voted to pause consideration of Amazon data center

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

More than 60 residents packed Warrenton Town Hall the evening of Nov. 22. They were expecting a planning commission public hearing and possibly a vote on Amazon’s application to build a data center on Blackwell Road.

They were surprised.

The meeting opened at 7:01 p.m. It ended at 7:10 p.m., as the commission voted unanimously to postpone indefinitely its review until it gets more information. In tabling the application, the planning commission ignored formal guidance from the town attorney and may have violated state law, according to a press release Monday from the interim town manager.

(See accompanying story.)

The move appeared to blindside everyone, including Amazon’s land-use attorney John Foote, who was sitting in the back row of the meeting room. “This came as a complete surprise,” he said, as the crowd disbanded. “We were led to believe there would be a vote tonight.”

“Well, there was a vote,” he added with a wry smile.

“The planning commission did the right thing tonight.

They deserve lot of credit,” said Kevin Ramundo, president of Citizens for Fauquier County, which opposes the data center. On Nov. 14, he had sent a five-page letter to the town manager, the mayor and the planning commission, urging them to hold off on considering the application until it was completed and carefully reviewed. (The Piedmont Journalism Foundation, which funded and produced this story, shares a board member, Harry Atherton, with CFFC. Ramundo is listed by PJF as a “sponsor.”)

A week earlier, 58 Fauquier and Warrenton residents spoke for three and one-half hours in opposition to the data center at a planning commission public hearing on the subject. The Nov. 22 meeting was supposed to accommodate another 30 or so who had not had a chance to speak.

When those speakers had finished, the crowd expected they would hear a presentation from the town’s staff on the application and see the commissioners ask questions.

The audience was also anticipating a possible planning commission vote on recommending to the town council whether the special-use permit should be approved or denied.

But no sooner did Planning Commission Chair Susan Helander declare the meeting open than Vice-chair James Lawrence moved to change the agenda. He offered a motion to postpone consideration of Amazon’s permit application indefinitely “until we get more information.” The motion was seconded by Commissioner Ryan Stewart.

Lawrence then explained his reasoning. First, he argued that an opinion by Town Attorney Martin Crim — saying that the town had to act on the application within 100 days of its first consideration — was flawed.

He argued that the law Crim had cited likely did not apply, and if it did, the deadline for action was months in the future since the applicant had delayed proceedings multiple times. He said the greatest harm would come from rushing a decision. regarding the motion but did not comment on the commission’s overall action. “I wish that the town attorney would have clarified the process when he was right there,” he said.

“The applicant deserves a hearing — that’s the process,” he said.

“But I think myself and at least a few other commissioners would suggest that they have not met the burden of proceeding with the proper application and satisfying the basic requirements of the special use permit.”

But Planning Commission Chair Susan Helander said she knew as soon as Lawrence’s motion was passed that it would not stand. “How could it? I knew that the only way we wouldn’t be making decision on the application that night would be if

“It’s nice to do things in a timely manner, but we still have a job to do,” he said.

He then noted that Amazon’s application was incomplete.

Amazon stated on Oct. 28 that its land development and use applications were not executed — “ergo incomplete,” he said. Amazon had not submitted a valid noise impact study and had asked for a ruling from the town’s zoning administrator to submit such a study. She had said she had until Jan. 16, 2023, to respond, which could push the noise study even further down the road.

Third, he said, Amazon had made representations that there would be no overhead transmission lines and no electrical substation on the property and that it would pay for the burial of any power distribution lines from a substation somewhere to the data center. But he noted Dominion Energy has said those decisions rest with others.

Other missing elements, he said, include an accurate tree removal study and illustrated elevations from Lee Highway, the town’s gateway.

“I’m not passing judgment on the merits of the application. I’m passing judgment on the incompleteness of the application,” he said. “It would be a tragic rush to act on this matter with so much missing information. We as a planning commission have a job to do and that job is not done.”

The commission discussed keeping the public hearing open, but Lawrence suggested that it would be better to hold off until there was a complete application the public could address.

The group voted 5-0 to postpone meeting on the application until it was complete.

The vote was a rebuke to Amazon, whose original application was filed April 13. The town’s planning staff reacted to the application at the time by asking for 18 more items to be submitted or clarified. As the process wore on, a planning commission work session in August was cancelled because Amazon had not submitted requested documents; Amazon asked for a postponement in September because it wanted to meet with town staffers to try to interpret the town’s strict noise ordinance.

The vote “sends a signal to Amazon that, you know, are they doing all they can to put their best foot forward?”

Commissioner Steve Ainsworth said in an interview Wednesday. “What Jim was basically saying, and I think I agree with, is that they haven’t so far. And there’s no need to rush it on our end until they have put everything in order.”

Lawrence’s explanation of his motion, and the vote, also seemed to send a message to the town’s staff, which had scheduled the public hearing and potential vote partly based on Crim’s interpretation of state law.

The staff had also worked with Foote to design proposed conditions for approval – especially on the noise issue — that some saw as unpalatable.

Lawrence said at the meeting, “We need to adopt the United States policy toward Russia during nuclear disarmament treaties, that is, trust but verify.”

the applicant asked us to delay.” The town attorney had made that clear, she said.

She voted yes on the motion, “because I’m a team player. This is my team. If they felt it was important, I will stick by them.” As the chair, she takes responsibility for the decision.

But she said if she had it to do over again, she would have voted differently. “As soon as it was spoken, I knew it wasn’t correct. … In my humble opinion, it is not my job to decide whether an application is complete or not. My job is to decide yay or nay.”

Helander said she was most upset after the meeting because people who had come to the meeting expecting to speak at the public hearing lost their chance to be heard.

“I was unhappy because people didn’t get a chance to speak,” she said. “There were those who couldn’t stay long enough at the Nov. 15 meeting to speak. I wanted to keep the public hearing open as long as necessary so everyone would have a chance to be heard. We had 30 people signed up to speak that night, and now they won’t have their say.”

The town council will hold public hearings as part of their deliberations on the Amazon SUP, Helander added, “and people could choose to speak then.”

She said she has not spoken to any commissioner since the Nov. 22 meeting.

He spoke to the planning commission at its Nov. 15 meeting.

PLANNING, from page 4

Guidance from the town attorney

Crim’s guidance to the planning commission explained at length why he felt that commissioners would be violating the law by delaying a decision indefinitely.

“Local governments can limit or delay property owners’ use of their property only in accordance with the law. Where state statutes and local ordinances do not impose a time limit for review of applications, the law imposes a reasonable time.

The period for a planning commission to review and make a recommendation on a rezoning is 100 days from the date of the meeting when it was first considered, under Virginia Code § 15.2-2285 (B).

Special-use permits and rezonings are similar in that both are legislative actions where the locality’s discretion is constrained by applicable law and the locality’s own comprehensive plan. These considerations suggest that 100 days is a reasonable period for a Planning Commission to review and act upon a special-use permit application.

“Accordingly, my advice is that the planning commission issue its recommendation on the Amazon special use permit application within 100 days of the date of its first meeting to consider the application, unless the applicant requests a deferral past that date.”

Martino explained, “The Town of Warrenton Planning Commission held work sessions on July 26, and Oct. 25. The planning commission public hearing on Nov. 15 was continued to Nov. 22, per the applicant’s request.”

Martino added that “The Planning Commis-

sion was advised by the town attorney on their authority to either recommend approval or denial to town council on the application. The town attorney and legal advertisement stated the application may only be continued to a future meeting per the request of the applicant. The applicant did not make such a request.”

The press release stated that the planning commission motion to postpone indefinitely is invalid for the following reasons: • No provision in the Town of Warrenton Zoning Code authorizes the planning commission to determine if an application is incomplete. The application was deemed to meet the minimum submission requirements and officially accepted May 6.

• The planning commission is nowhere authorized to postpone a public hearing “indefinite-

ly.” A motion to postpone indefinitely is, under Robert’s Rules, an action that kills the main motion by declining to take a position. The Zoning Ordinance requires the planning commission under Section 11-3.10.7 to hold a public hearing and “shall forward its recommendation to the town council.”

• If the planning commission could postpone its decision on a recommendation indefinitely, it could effectively veto any special-use permit.

This is not within the planning commission’s power because it only makes recommendations on special-use permits. It is solely the authority of the town council to decide whether to grant or deny a special-use permit. Accordingly, the town council will consider the status of SUP 22-03 Amazon Data Center at its Dec. 13 meeting and direct staff on next steps.

Completed: All video surveillance systems have been upgraded to produce clearer images, except at Auburn Middle School, where installation is expected to be completed by January 2023.

Goals: Continue to apply for grants for improvements to video surveillance systems.

Some schools still need additional camera coverage. Staff will continue to research grant opportunities for cameras. the number of cameras that each school has received has increased substantially,” he said. Fauquier schools are upgrading cameras for clearer pictures. At elementary schools, school administrators are concerned about bus drop-off areas that are “dangerous” because of traffic, as well as a lack of secure vestibules (controlled entries) at some schools.

Bullying

A fight at Auburn Middle School in April 2022 shined a spotlight on bullying at Fauquier schools.

What school officials said was a “fight” between two students led the sheriff’s office to pursue action in juvenile court against one of the students.

Teasing and bullying were common concerns among administrators during the 2022-23 school year. Moving into the current school year, protocols are in place not only to address but to document and analyze the incidents. In the past, bullying and harassment paperwork was completed when problems arose, but the school division did not have a formal way to easily track the data.

This year, administrators are entering information into a digital form that can be easily sorted to analyze time, place and incidents. That will help address specific issues at each school, the report says.

Data center developer signs agreements with Vint Hill, Catlett landowners AGREEMENT, from page 3

Catlett Data Center Park

Data centers are not a by-right use for the 60acre Catlett site, which is zoned for other industrial uses. County supervisors would need to rezone the property for data centers to be built there.

A business entity linked to Joel Barkman and John Grew owns a 60acre industrial-zoned parcel in the Catlett Service District, with frontage on Va. 28 and Gaskins Lane. While the property is zoned for a wide range of industrial uses, data centers are not currently a byright use of the land.

The possible layout of data centers indicated on the map comes from a 2020 concept development plan and does not necessarily represent any current plans.

Vint Hill

In June, Headwaters signed a co-development agreement with Blue Rock I LLC, a business entity associated with McClean-based Zumot Real Estate Management which purchased the 48-acre property marketed as the “Vint Hill Technology Campus” for $8.75 million in October 2021.

Earlier in 2018, county supervisors significantly expanded by-right development of data centers in some areas of Vint Hill — including up to 981,000 square feet of data centers on the property now owned by Blue Rock. The property is by far the largest remaining vacant PCID tract in Vint Hill.

“Right now, we’re trying to do our due diligence and talk to different groups and find out what their needs are and how to accommodate all that,” Chris Zumot, of Zumot Real Estate, told the Fauquier Times last week in reference to the Vint Hill site.

The site is next to the existing 80,000-squarefoot data center operated by OVHcloud since 2017 and is part of Vint Hill’s Planned Commercial Industrial District, a zoning category unique to Vint Hill that dates to the county’s acquisition of the former Army post in 1999. Data centers are a by-right use anywhere in the Vint Hill PCID provided the facilities use recycled water to cool the computer equipment instead of air chillers. The OVH facility uses a “closed loop” water cooling system.

Since the site is already zoned for data centers, Lebow said, “We may not need any formal applications until a specific site plan is further developed,” explaining that his company has not yet set a specific timeline for developing there. His company’s goal, he said, is to plan in a way “which mitigates risks for end-users and eliminates uncertainties for the community.”

Vint Hill receives electricity from the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative, which operates a substation roughly 1 mile away from the Blue Rock site. NOVEC also owns an 8.5-acre parcel adjacent to the Blue Rock property, and previous concept development plans have indicated a new substation could be located there.

NOVEC says it has no immediate plans to build a new substation, however. “Any need for a substation would be driven by load growth in the immediate area that exceeds NOVEC’s current electric system capabilities,” a company representative told the Fauquier Times last week.

Board Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District), who represents the Vint Hill area, did not respond to a request for comment. Trumbo supported the 2018 zoning amendment that expanded the by-right development of data centers in Vint Hill.

Catlett

On Oct. 24, Headwaters signed a similar agreement with Catlett Station II LLC, a business linked with Joel Barkman, of Golden Rule Builders, and

MAP BY COY FERRELL/ FAUQUIER TIMES

John Grew, a New Baltimore-based builder, to develop a 60-acre industrial-zoned property in the Catlett Service District. The site, marketed as the “Catlett Data Center Park” even though it has not yet been zoned for data centers, is adjacent to the Golden Rule office property on Va. 28 (Catlett Road) and has access to Gaskins Lane.

Unlike the Vint Hill site, where data centers are a by-right use in the PCID, the industrial-zoned (I1) Catlett site would need to be rezoned to Business Park for data centers to become an allowable use. “[W]e are still in the due diligence and planning process and have not defined a timeline for any land use applications,” Lebow wrote about the Catlett site. “We intend to have further discussions with the county and other local stakeholders before proceeding. It is important to note that our proposed use of the Catlett site is designed to lead to a lower-intensity use, lower environmental impact, lesser traffic and higher tax revenue than what the existing industrial zoning presently allows.”

Board Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District), who represents the Catlett area, wrote in an email to the Fauquier Times Monday, “I would like to see a business on this site that impacts Catlett negligibly and provides significant tax revenues for Fauquier. Finding a balance that works for local residents is my priority.”

Since the property is already zoned for industrial use, “The county has already contemplated the property’s future use,” Gerhardt wrote. But, he emphasized, “this in no way implies” a request to rezone the property for data center use “will be automatically approved.” He added, “Certain developments/uses in this location can potentially have significant impacts on traffic, infrastructure and Catlett’s limited resources - such as water.”

Neither Barkman nor Grew responded to a request for comment.

Assuming the Headwaters deal spurs a rezoning application, it would be the second attempt to

petition supervisors to allow data centers in Catlett. The last application to rezone the property stalled before it reached the planning commission.

In late 2020, Grew filed a rezoning application to permit up to 450,000 square feet of data center space on the property, split between two buildings. By April 2021, however, the “anticipated end-user” determined that only one data center building was needed, not two. “The good news is that [the end-user is] very enamored with the Vint Hill site, which our client will continue pursuing,” wrote a land use attorney representing the application to county staff.

Plans to build in Vint Hill also stalled, however. An August 2021, community development department memo indicated that “Staff is under the impression that the initial intended developer/ end use of the parcel has decided to not pursue the project.”

Past concept plans have not indicated a need for a new substation in Catlett if the site is used for data centers. Before the 2020 rezoning application fell through, a February 2021 memo indicated that “The Applicant is drafting language in consultation with Dominion Energy indicating that the proposed development will not be served by new transmission infrastructure or on-site substation.”

The nearest transmission line is about 2.2 miles away, in Prince William County, along with a substation about 2.8 miles away on Va. 28 outside Nokesville.

If rezoned, the Catlett Station property would become the second Business Park-zoned site in the county after the 2018 rezoning of a 234-acre property near Remington. Supervisors approved the Remington site, previously planned for a 198home subdivision, for up to 1.8 million square feet of data center development. The property is still vacant.

The charges are related to a series of incidents over time while the alleged victim was a student in the school system, according to the Fauquier County Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney.

The alleged victim, who according to the indictments “was known to” Grimley, came forward with the allegations several months ago.

Grimley, who lives in Warrenton, was released on $5,000 unsecured bond and ordered to have no contact with the school system. She had been employed by the public school system since 2009, when she was hired as a math teacher at Cedar Lee, the school division confirmed Monday. In 2020, she transitioned to a new role as a math coach. She was placed on administrative leave Aug. 1 — when school officials learned about the allegations — and she resigned earlier this month.

Grimley is charged with two counts of oral sex with a child and two counts of intercourse with a child. Grimley faces up to 10 years in prison on each count if convicted.

In addition to her employment with the school division, Grimley has worked with juveniles through her involvement with a local church and another religious organization, according to publicly available information.

Church programs since at least 2013, according to posts on the church’s Facebook page and documents archived on the church’s website. In 2015, 2019, 2020 and 2022, for instance, the church advertised Grimley’s involvement in SAT preparation classes hosted at the church and offered to local high school students.

Connected with her involvement with the church, Grimley has led trips to Haiti with groups of children and adults through West Virginia-based religious nonprofit called Friends of Fort Liberté. As of Monday, FFL listed her as a “trip associate” who has a “special interest in the students and teachers of the Eben-Ezer school,” a Baptist grade school in northeast Haiti.

WBC and FFL did not respond to a list of questions about Grimley’s history of working with minors through those organizations.

The Piedmont Symphony Orchestra presents ‘Messiah’

By Constance Lyons

Special to the Fauquier Times

At 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11, the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra will present audiences with a holiday treat: a performance of Handel’s “Messiah,” complete with the rousing Hallelujah Chorus.

Handel composed “Messiah,” his sixth oratorio, in 23 days, beginning in August of 1741. He received the text in July of 1741 and completed the work in mid-September.

The libretto was written by Charles Jennens, a wealthy dilettante patron of Handel; it was drawn from the texts of the King James Bible and The Book of Common Prayer. Jennens was highly disapproving of Handel’s piece, accusing the composer of “careless negligence.” Jennens kept urging Handel to make “improvements,” and Handel adamantly refused.

At the end of his manuscript, Handel wrote the words “Soli Deo Gloria,” “To God alone the glory.”

Many interpret this as a sign that Handel wrote with the aid of divine inspiration.

Beethoven named Handel “the greatest of all composers;” the poet Matthew Arnold wrote that in the oratorio Handel spoke to “what is permanent in the human soul.”

The work is scored for two trumpets, timpani, two oboes, two violins, viola and basso continuo. It

They objected to hearing scripture issuing from the mouths of female soloists who they viewed as having questionable sexual mores.

A revival in 1750 to support London’s Foundling Hospital launched the work on its way to fame and fortune. Today, in both the United States and England, it is the oratorio most performed. Handel made many revisions to his manuscript score; it is likely that his work was not performed as originally conceived in his lifetime.

Violinist Kate O’Konski also ®

serves as executive director of the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra. “It’s a really rewarding position,” she said.

“I feel like I’m helping the orchestra to succeed. We treat the annual holiday concert like a pop program.

We play a variety of music so as to reach everyone.” O’Konski stressed that “Messiah” will not be presented in its entirety. “But we are including the overture, the pastoral section, and of course, the Hallelujah Chorus,” she said. “They’re special to the players as well. The Chorus and the Gloria speak directly to the audience.”

The concert will also showcase some of the orchestra’s principal players. Debbie Gilbert, flutist, and harpist Cambria Van de Vaarst will

perform the first movement of Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp, and Bob Renshaw will play Hummel’s Oboe Concerto. The orchestra will play holiday favorites, like “White Christmas” and “Sleigh Ride,” as well. “So, it’s a varied program that speaks on several levels,” said O’Konski.

“It’s a feel-good concert,” said music director and conductor Glenn Quader. “We have three pieces involving sleigh rides: the Leroy Anderson one everyone knows, Prokofiev’s Troika, and one by Delius. So, one common thread. We also will present carols from around the world, including a See MESSIAH, page 11

The Warrenton Chorale presents ‘Christmas in Music’

By Constance Lyons

Special to the Fauquier Times

For Fauquier County music lovers, high on the list of holiday pleasures close to home is the annual Warrenton Chorale Christmas concert. This year’s concert will take place at Warrenton United Methodist Church (341 Church St., Warrenton) at 7:30 p.m.

Dec. 8 and 9 and at 3 p.m. Dec.10.

The Chorale will partner with P.B. Smith Elementary School’s Honor Choir for this year’s performances.

The Chorale was founded in 1953

by Dick March, who contacted area church choirs and invited members to help him form a community choir devoted to singing Christmas music. In later years, Barbara Stinson headed the group, which she directed for 33 years.

During that time the group burgeoned, growing from the initial 13 singers to more than 100. Stinson was an innovator; she was responsible for the addition of both the Youth Chorale, originally named the Children’s Choir, in 1967,

PSO performs ‘Messiah’ MESSIAH, from page 10 Hanukah song. Christmas Song has an exceptional arrangement. Interestingly, the arrangement of White Christmas is the one used in the fa-

and in 1974, the Hand Bell Choir.

In 1993, Steve Aiello took over; he added a Saturday matinee to the original two evening performances as well as a spring concert. In 2012, John Maerhofer assumed leadership and continued through the 2018 Christmas concert. In spring of 2019, Mary DeMarco Roland took charge.

Aspiring singers are not required to endure a stressful audition; it’s a friendly group open to anyone who loves music, enjoys singing and is willing to learn to read music (if they can’t already) and gain experience in four-part choral singing.

Tickets for Christmas in Music -$15 for adults and $5 for children in grades K to 12 -- will be sold at several businesses in Warrenton: Deja Brew, Great Harvest Bread Company, g.willikers Toys And Books, Oak View National Bank (Warrenton branch) and Warrenton Jewelers. Orlean Market and the Remington Pharmacy will also have tickets available. mous movie starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye.”

“Messiah” will be performed at the Michael A. Hughes Center for the Arts in Warrenton at the Highland School in Warrenton at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11. Tickets are $30 to $35; youth (18 and under) tickets are free.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Interfaith holiday celebration included tree and menorah lighting — and dancing the hora Henry Lavine dances the hora with Marypat Warter, principal of Claude Thompson Elementary School.

COURTESY PHOTO

Rectortown residents held their annual interfaith Christmas tree and Menorah lighting on Nov. 20, hosted, as always, by the Rectortown United Methodist Church.

As many as 60 folks from the region attended what turned out to be a lovely, brisk and festive evening.

Ethel Canty Bothuel, D.Min., representing the Fauquier NAACP, gave a spellbinding Thanksgiving prayer; Rabbi Rose Jacob gave the uplifting story of Hanukkah, and Brian Krause, president of the Fauquier Jewish Congregation, had the honor of lighting the beautiful outdoor Menorah, sans prayer, since the holiday

is not until Dec. 19.

This was a maiden voyage for the RUMC’s new pastor, Pastor Jonathan Lamb, but he got into the swing of things, literally, leading the group in a lively hora, dancing with Rabbi Rose.

This is a part of the Rectortown tradition, for which Pastor Jonathan was not prepared, but he did fine, always the good sport.

As they say in the movies ... a good time was had by all … and to all a good night.

HENRY LAVINE Rectortown

New bowling alley a great addition to Warrenton My husband and I just had a fun evening at the new Galaxy Strikes Bowling Center, enjoying bowling, beverages and a delicious soft pretzel.

This is such a terrific addition to our town. It’s perfect for all ages — we saw high school kids, family groups and young couples enjoying themselves.

They have really comfortable seating at the bowling lanes, good food and the glow-in-the-dark putt-putt golf looks like great fun for kids. Be sure to check out Galaxy Strikes soon. We really need to support this critical small business.

SARAH SMARRELLI Warrenton

Gun range noise I found it interesting to read all the comments about the proposed Amazon data center in Warrenton and the unfavorable noise pollution.

We live in a noise-polluted area every Saturday and Sunday. Across the lane from our neighborhood is a private shooting range. Every weekend is ruined by semi-automatic gun fire usually beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing until well past dark.

I have called every known authority to complain or seek help, to no avail. It seems the gun laws in this so-called beautiful county say gunfire is acceptable. But dog barking is not.

Good luck with your data center noise pollution concerns.

JUDY OTTOVIANI Catlett

Warrenton Planning Commission gets it right on Amazon application Over the past few months, I have written several letters that have appeared on these pages regarding Amazon’s plans for a data center at the eastern gateway into Warrenton. These letters have expressed the opinion that a data center at this location would be inconsistent with the town’s comprehensive plan; that it would adversely affect the town and the county; and that it would impact the quality of life and physical and mental health of hundreds of people in very sad ways.

Through these letters, I encouraged the town to seek the best available information, require Amazon to submit a complete application and avoid a rushed decision on the most consequential land use issue in the town’s history.

The members of Citizens for Fauquier County and I continue to believe that it’s “Never too late to get it right,” a sentiment we heard from a person who attended the last CFFC-sponsored town hall on the Amazon data center.

Last week, the Warrenton Planning Commission got it right in a big way, and they deserve the respect and appreciation of residents throughout the town and county. The commission decided unanimously to send the application back to Amazon so it can be completed. They refused to accept the town attorney’s interpretation of a 100-day rule that would have required the planning commission to rush a vote on the application, which would in turn have sent it to a lame-duck town council for a possible vote in December.

Healthy skepticism is a good thing and should continue. As

Planning Commissioner James Lawrence said in his concluding remarks last week, “Trust but verify.”

On this point, CFFC can help with advice from our experts in noise and viewshed analysis and other areas.

The planning commission not only got it right for this application, but for the data center applications that will surely follow. Had they voted on the project last week, other data center applicants would feel that incomplete applications, flawed noise and viewshed impact studies, failure to meet other requirements and rushed decisions are OK in Warrenton. Well, thanks to this planning commission, they are not.

This decision may help in another way. There has been a lot of controversy around this application and concerns that Amazon is getting favorable treatment at the expense of transparency, the town and its residents. Maybe, just maybe, the planning commission decision will begin to quiet the controversy and open the door to the possibility that citizens could believe that Warrenton officials have their interests at heart.

I have personally thanked and congratulated the planning commission members on last week’s vote, and you can too at: planning@warrentonva.gov.

KEVIN RAMUNDO President, Citizens for Fauquier County

Editor’s note: This letter was submitted to the Fauquier Times before the town attorney presented the view that the planning commission acted outside its authority.

Campbell sworn in as Fauquier County School Board member

COURTESY PHOTO

Clay Campbell is sworn in as Scott District school board member Nov. 16.

Clay Campbell was sworn in Nov. 16 as the Scott District representative on the Fauquier County School Board. Campbell won more than 66% of the vote in his race against Josh Erdossy in the Nov. 8 election. He will begin his duties immediately.

The seat was open because the former Scott District representative, Suzanne Sloane, resigned the seat in December 2021. Vincent Gallo was appointed to fill the seat in the interim. Campbell will represent the Scott District through 2023.

The Scott District encompasses New Baltimore, The Plains and the county’s northeast corner.

“Now that the election process is behind us, at least for a few months,

I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting into the schools so that I can meet and interact with the parents, teachers, students and administrators,” Campbell said in a news release Tuesday.

Campbell works as a territory manager for James River Equipment, a role he has held since 2001.

In 2017, Campbell began serving as a board member for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Fauquier and currently serves as board chairman.

Campbell is the father of five children, two of whom currently attend Fauquier County Public Schools. He, his wife, Christine, and their children have resided in Scott District since 2013.

Kettle Run receiver Jordan Tapscott (left) unleashes 31-yard pass to Trey Western (right) for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:03 left in last Saturday’s Class 4 Region C championship game. Kettle Run (13-0) went ahead 35-28 and held on for 35-34 victory in Leesburg.

COUGARS PULL OUT THRILLING 35-34 WIN IN REGION TITLE GAME; STATE SEMIS NEXT

Tapscott’s 31-yard TD pass to Western lifts Kettle Run over Loudoun County

NEXT GAME: Saturday at E.C. Glass (Lynchburg) in Class 4 state semifinals at City Stadium in Lynchburg at 5 p.m. Winner plays Warwick (12-1) at Dinwiddie (13-0) winner in state championship Dec. 10 at 4:30 p.m.

By Peter Brewington and Matthew Proctor Fauquier Times Staff Writers

Trey Western saw the football floating to him, outlined against the bright blue sky at Sonny Pearson Stadium in Leesburg and knew a glorious moment was in store for him and his team.

Running free behind the Loudoun County defense, the Kettle Run senior was on the receiving end of one of the biggest touchdowns in Cougars’ football history, hauling in a 31-yard option pass from Jordan Tapscott that provided the winning points in Kettle Run’s thrilling 35-34 road win over Loudoun County in Saturday’s Class 4 Region C championship game.

“It was a perfect throw. He (Tapscott) could definitely play quarterback if he had to. 100%. It was right in the breadbasket,” said Western.

The play, which looks like a reverse and is designed to take advantage of a defense’s urge to tackle the dangerous Tapscott, had been in Cougars’ arsenal for about three weeks and had not been run in a game.

“I was a little nervous when they called it, but I came out, I got the ball, and I saw that he was wide open. And I threw it as far as I could,” said Tapscott, who had taken a pitch from quarterback Abram Chumley.

Although Andrew Curry’s vital extra point kick made it 35-28 with 3:03 left, the win wasn’t secured without some more drama as the Captains answered with a TD with 1:05 left, then went for a two-point conversion.

Kettle Run defenders Connor Adair, Peyton Mehaffey, Jack Pechin and Sam Rodgers tackled

One more win will make Kettle Run the first Fauquier County team to make a VHSL football championship game.

Captains’ elusive quarterback Zach Hensch short of the line.

“That’s instant classic, man,” said coach Charlie Porterfield, whose region champion Cougars (13-0) will make the third state semifinal appearance in school history Saturday when they travel to face E.C. Glass (Lynchburg) (12-1) at 5 p.m.

The state final is Dec. 10 at Liberty University.

“Once they scored, I was like, ‘Dang, it’s really coming down to a two-point conversion.’ They win by one, or we win by one,” said Mehaffey.

Loudoun County coach Matt Reidenbaugh said his team captains talked about going for two even before the drive. “The theme of this team was ‘no regrets.’

We hadn’t been stopping Kettle Run the entire second half, so we figured we’d rather take the lead and try to

stop them for one minute,” Reidenbaugh said.

The win will surely go down as one of the greatest performances in Kettle Run sports history, right up there with the Cougars’ two boys soccer state championships in 2017 and 2015.

In the end, Kettle Run won its third region title in school history thanks to three touchdown runs by Chumley, some power running by Colton Quaker (19 carries, 117 yards), and the all-world speed and playmaking of Tapscott, who coaches made sure touched the ball extensively on the Cougars’ final two TD drives. Tapscott caught nine passes for 135 yards and a TD and threw the game-winning TD. Chumley ran 11 times for 52 yards and three TDs and completed 11 of 15 for 158 yards and a TD. “Coming from my freshman year when we went 1-9 to now, it’s just emotional,” said Tapscott. “I’ve always dreamed of winning a regional championship, and time goes by fast, I’m here now.”

On a sunny 63-degree afternoon the undefeated champions of the Northwestern and Dulles Districts went toe-to-toe. There were very few penalties, no turnovers, just a ferocious test of two talented teams locked in a virtual stalemate.

Kettle Run scored first, taking a 7-0 lead on a 62-yard drive that culminated in a 26-yard catchand-run TD from Chumley to Tapscott with 4:19 left in the first quarter. Tapscott caught a swing pass and beat defenders to the end zone using his acceleration, speed and savvy.

Cougars are two wins from state title FOOTBALL, from page 19 “I made one miss, and I saw one coming and I stiff-armed him,” Tapscott said. “And once I saw that, all that green grass I just took off running and dove for the end zone pylon.”

Loudoun County (12-1) scored the next two TDs, both in the second quarter, as Hensch hit Fitzpatrick for a 15-yard TD on a screen pass and Hensch scored on a 2-yard run for a 14-7 lead after Luke Morrison’s extra point kick.

Kettle Run tied it at 14-14 by driving 68 yards as Chumley fought off tacklers to score on a 6-yard run with 55 seconds left in the half.

Taking the opening second half kickoff, Loudoun County took a 21-14 lead by scoring on an 80-yard drive as Jason Murray scored on a 4-yard TD run up the middle. The key play in the drive was Joseph Fitzpatrick’s 57-yard reception up the left sideline.

Kettle Run went 70 yards on its first possession of the third quarter as Chumley scored on an 8-yard run on third down. He pump-faked, then tucked and ran through a hole up the middle, making it 21-21 with 3:35 left in the quarter after Curry’s kick.

“I just saw that the slant was going to be covered. So, it’s a quick play, you got to make a quick decision. I took it and ran it,” Chumley said.

In a game of potent offenses, Kettle Run made the one stop it needed on Loudoun County’s next possession and forced a punt. Taking over at their own 11 after a penalty, the Cougars went 89 yards to take a 2821 lead.

The drive used four huge receptions by Tapscott accounting for 58 yards. Quaker ran five times for 20 yards, and Chumley finished it off with a 9-yard power surge up the middle as the Cougars regained the lead at 28-21 with 8:42 left.

The Captains answered with an 80-yard drive to tie it at 28-28 as Hensch ran through a hole in the left side for a 4-yard TD with 5:44 left in the fourth.

Kettle Run’s game-winning drive began at its own 31. Quaker’s 18yard run up the middle brought the Cougars to Captains’ 31, where the Cougars again called on Tapscott,

‘I was a little nervous’ Cougars’ defense sniffs out play, makes crucial stop

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said Loudoun County’s decision to go for a two-point conversion with 1:05 left to decide the region champion was an eyeopener.

“When they called the timeout, it luckily gave us a little bit of time,” said Porterfield, who felt pretty sure the Captains would try to run with speedy quarterback Nate Hensch.

Star linebacker Peyton Mehaffey came off the field and theorized the same thing. Hensch was stopped short.

“They’re going to run their QB and just lead everybody up the middle. And that’s exactly what they did and we just played it right,” he said.

“I was in the backfield, I stopped, I grabbed his ankle, and then we had (Connor) Adair come in.”

Mehaffey said there was anxiety. “I was a little nervous coming off the field, but, I mean we just had to step up and that’s big time players make big time plays and that’s what we all did.”

Linebacker Colton Quaker also had a hand in the tackle. “I saw the ball going away from me, so I pursued. And then I came and set the edge which forced the quarterback to (cut inside), which allowed our players to come and then just tackle it,” he said.

“I thought I could make a play,” said Hensch, a cat-quick runner who scored two TDs on similar short runs and threw a 25-yard TD pass to Joseph Fitzpatrick as the Captains closed to 35-34.

“The play was called ‘QB power’’’ said Loudoun County coach Matt Reidenbaugh. “We kick it out and then he runs underneath. We’ve run it all year. We love to do that down there.” this time to throw it.

“From the time Jordan’s been a freshman here, he’s been like, I can play quarterback,” said Porterfield.

“So we were like, all right, at some point we’ll let you throw a touchdown. Well, just so happened to be in the regional championship game.

Kettle Run (13-0) won its third region championship in school history, joining great Cougar teams in 2011 and 2012. Next up is Saturday’s Class 4 state semifinal at E.C. Glass (12-1) at 5 p.m., played at City Stadium in Lynchburg.

‘I got faith in Trey’ FOOTBALL, from page 20 “As soon as we handed the reverse, and the corner ran off of Trey, I was like, we got it. And he threw it exactly how we needed to throw it.

Little bit of touch, didn’t have to rifle it in there.”

The play had worked, fooling the Captains, but the pass still had to be caught as the entire Kettle Run sideline and the 500 or so fans that packed the visiting stands and lined a chain link fence held their breath for Western to haul it in.

“We’re confident, we’re doing everything right, and I think we’re just ready for next week.”

-TREY WESTERN ON THE STATE SEMIFINALS

“I knew the corner was going to bite on Tap on the reverse,” said Western.

“When the ball is in the air, I was just waiting and waiting and waiting and just brought it in basically.”

“I got faith in Trey. He’s a clutch receiver,” said Chumley of the play.

No Fauquier County football team has ever made a VHSL state final

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

No Fauquier County high school has ever won a VHSL football state title or made the championship game.

Kettle Run will try to end that streak. The Cougars are the first team from Fauquier County to win a region football title and make the state semifinals since Liberty in 2014. The Eagles lost to Salem 34-17 that year and also made the state

semis in 2011, 2001 and 1998.

Kettle Run won Class 3 region titles in 2011 and 2012, losing both times to James Monroe in the state semis. James Monroe beat Kettle Run 37-30 in triple overtime in 2012 and 14-7 in 2011, both memorable battles at Fredericksburg’s Maury Stadium.

Fauquier High has made the state semifinals four times, losing in 1989, 1988, 1987 and 1971.

Kettle Run is also the first local team to play in a region title game since Liberty in 2017. The Eagles lost to Sherando 33-21 in the region title game that year.

OBITUARIES Anna E. Kuranda Anna E. Kuranda, 88, of Gainesville, Virginia, died unexpectedly November 21, 2022.

Born in Dickson City, PA, Anna was the daughter of James & Gertrude Oakey.

Anna is is survived by sons Kurt Gary (Sue) of Rogers, Arkansas, James Edward (Kim) of Clifton, VA, and daughter Nancy Massey (John), of Blacksburg, VA, and her cherished grandchildren, Max Kuranda and Jenna Massey.

Anna is preceded in death by her husband of 69 years, Edward (Kurt to his friends), their daughter, Judy, and her brother, James Oakey.

Known by her nickname, Nancy married Kurt upon their 1952 graduation from Dickson City High School and embraced a life marked by adventure, faith, family, and tradition. A lifelong learner, Nancy mastered many crafts, including canning, sewing, embroidery, and crochet. She was at home in the kitchen and was happiest when the family gathered for holiday meals and subsequent mandatory board games. She loved a good joke and a little nightcap. She was an avid reader and was fluent in American Sign Language. Ever the sports enthusiast and armchair quarterback, she reveled in friendly bets with son, Kurt.

Professionally, she rose through the ranks of Federal Service before retiring in 1995. Nancy and Kurt moved from Warrenton, VA to Louisa, VA in the late 1990s and both became enthusiastic golfers. Nancy served on the Tanyard Country Club HOA, volunteered at church functions, and served as an election officer.

The Kurandas moved to Gainesville, VA in 2016 where they enjoyed an active social life, including bocce ball and pinochle. Nancy was a fiercely loyal and generous friend, a proud and supportive mother and grandmother, and a loving and devoted wife. While the grief of losing of both parents just twelve days apart is unbearable, there is comfort in knowing that Mom and Dad are together again.

A memorial service will be held at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton, VA, Friday, December 2nd, 10:00AM-12:00PM. Friends are invited to join the family for lunch at the Moser House immediately following the service.

He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Nancy, sons Kurt Gary (Sue) of Rogers, Arkansas, James Edward (Kim) of Clifton, VA, and daughter, Nancy Massey (John), of Blacksburg, VA, and his beloved grandchildren, Max Kuranda and Jenna Massey.

He is preceded in death by his daughter, Judy, and his siblings, Carol, Thomas, and Kathy. Ed was known as Kurt by all who knew and loved him.

Ever the patriot, he joined the National Guard at age fourteen. Upon activation during the Korean War, his true age was discovered and he was honorably discharged and invited to return to service when he was older.

Upon graduation from Dickson City High School, he joined the USMC, excelling in all challenges and was offered an appointment to OCS, which he declined. For 37 years, Kurt served in a variety of capacities for the Federal Service, traveling throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. After retiring from the Federal Service, he became a consultant for the Smith Corporation.

Upon full retirement, Kurt was an accomplished golfer, hunter, fisher, and woodworker. He was a former Scoutmaster, past president of the Jeffersonton Ruritan Club, a member of the American Legion, and a frequent volunteer at community events.

He and Nancy moved to Heritage Hunt, Gainesville, VA in 2016 where they enjoyed an active social life, including bocce ball and pinochle.

He will be remembered as a fine husband and father, and a doting grandfather.

Barbara Margaret Christiana Barbara Margaret Christiana, loving aunt and wonderful friend, left her earthly body on November 17, 2022, at Fauquier Hospital. She was born on September 26, 1943, in Little Ferry New Jersey. A New Jersey girl at heart, Barbara moved with her family to Northern Virginia in the early 1970s and spent every weekend traveling back and forth from D.C. and Fauquier County to be with friends and family – whomever needed her most.

Barbara was a strong independent woman with an impressive professional background, with professional achievements ranging from working for Marriot, being a powerful paralegal for a prestigious D.C. Law Firm – Washington Law, and being the personal administrative assistant for former Secretary of State and war hero General Alexander Haig.

In addition to her impressive resume and achievements, Barbara would most like to be remembered for her strength, perseverance, and deep love for her family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her father (Anthony E. Christiana), mother (Margaret E. Daley Christiana), and brother (Anthony J. Christiana).

She is survived by her nephew (R. Scott Christiana), niece (Nicole Christiana Stell), nephew (Daniel G. Stell), great nephews (Daniel S. Stell and Ian K. Stell), and many many New Jersey cousins.

Despite struggling with Rheumatoid Arthritis for over six decades, Barb (as she was known to those that loved her) never let it hold her back.

Whether she was skiing in Vermont with friends or taking her niece ice skating in D.C. she always put her suffering aside for others. It is in this spirit that the family asks for donations in lieu of flowers.

A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at Hillcrest Memory Gardens at 11:00 AM. Please consider making donations in Barbara’s name to either www.helpfightra.org/ or to St. Jude’s Children’s Center (her favorite charity and her in words “The best charity on earth” at www.stjude.org.

Traditionally, a person would remain “in mourning” and practice traditions like dressing in black and avoiding certain public events for a specified period, usually one to two years. Today we mourn and grieve in different ways according to our emotional needs, although this may still include traditions like wearing black or displaying memorial items. In the Western world, wearing black and other dull colors has been the expectation since the Victorian era until as recent as the 1960s. In some regions of the world, white is worn to show grief and mourning. Regardless of color, dressing a certain way can be a sign of respect to the deceased while showing others that we are grieving from a recent loss.

There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense.
