Family of COVID-19 patient wins legal battle, forcing Fauquier Hospital to allow use of unapproved drug By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Christopher Davies and his family, of Jeffersonton, were determined to try everything possible to help his mother Kathleen Davies survive a severe case of COVID-19. She has been in the intensive care unit at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton since early October and has been breathing with the help of a ventilator since Nov. 3. The Davies’ family doctor prescribed Ivermectin, but Fauquier Hospital resisted administering the drug, citing medical, legal and practical concerns. Ivermectin is a drug used most often for parasitic infections; it has not been approved to treat COVID-19. On Dec. 6, the Davies family took legal action to try to compel the hos-
pital to allow the treatment. After a week filled with four court hearings, the Davies family thought on Dec. 9 that they had won the right to compel the hospital to allow their family doctor to administer Ivermectin. But as of Dec. 13, the hospital still had not transferred treatment responsibility from their own intensivists to the family’s doctor, who is not an ICU doctor or an emergency care physician. The Davies family requested an emergency hearing and Circuit Judge James Fisher ruled Dec. 13 that Fauquier Hospital was in contempt of court for not following the Dec. 9 directive. Fisher also ruled that the hospital would incur $10,000 a day fines until it complied. See IVERMECTIN, page 2

Warrenton seeks to expand town boundaries by 60% By Peter Cary
Areas under discussion
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
The town of Warrenton wants to absorb five parcels of county land totaling 1,750 acres on its perimeter that would expand the town’s area by more than 60%. The targeted areas came to light at the Thursday, Dec. 9, Fauquier County Board of Supervisors meeting when the board agreed to respond in writing to the town’s request and released maps that until now had been the subject of secret town-county meetings. “We don’t govern well when we do it on our own. It’s much better when we have informed citizen input … and this is obviously going to be significant to a lot of folks,” said supervisor Holder Trumbo after the meeting. See BOUNDARY, page 10

State grant helps close Fauquier’s broadband gap

A plan to subsidize fiber-optic internet connections to more than 10,000 Fauquier County homes has been awarded a $15 million state grant, clearing the way for the project to move forward. Fauquier supervisors have already committed $10.5 million to the project from the county’s allocation of federal stimulus funds. Leesburg-based All Points Broadband will provide an additional $39 million in capital. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2024. “It’s a damn good day for Fauquier County,” Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) said Monday, noting that the project will mean nearly universal access to fiber-optic internet connections for residents and businesses in Fauquier County.

‘The right to try’
After finding anecdotal and clinical evidence online suggesting Ivermectin’s effectiveness in some COVID-19 cases, Christopher Davies has emphasized all along that he doesn’t know whether or not Ivermectin will help his mother, but he wanted the opportunity to try the drug as a “hail Mary” effort to save her. Davies said in a phone call Dec. 9, “It’s a matter of life and death. She’s on her death bed. Any kind of negative repercussions [from Ivermectin] are null and void.” Davies said that as of Dec. 4, his mother’s oxygen saturation levels were in the 70s, and she wasn’t doing well. Davies said that since the hospital has exhausted every other treatment option, the family should be able to try this admittedly unproven drug. See IVERMECTIN, page 4

Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Remington Mayor Bill Polk cut the ribbon on the newest business in Remington on Saturday, Dec. 11. The Craft & Crust Pizza Tavern, owned by Jim Peterson and Dawn Rana, Michelle and Ronnie Bland and Cecil Coleman officially opened for business on Sunday, Dec. 12. When Craft & Crust did open its doors, business was brisk; families filled every table at lunch time. It was all hands-on deck for the wait staff, but they seemed to manage the steady flow of food, beer and customers. The restaurant, at 204 East Main St., offers brick oven pizza, steak and cheese and po boy sandwiches, smash burgers and other family favorites. Appetizers include: fried cauliflower, garlic cheese curds, fried pickles and “sidewinder garlic sweet onion fries.”

Food is available for those who want to dine in or take out. Michelle Bland said Saturday that she sees the new venture as a family-friendly option where local residents can enjoy good food and craft beers while watching football on the big television screens. The restaurant has eight taps behind its bar. Although she has not gotten all her craft beers lined up yet, she said, “I have a few on draft right now -Voodoo Ranger, Dog Fish Head and [of course] Miller Light. I also have
a cider from the local cider lab in Summerduck.” Polk envisions the new restaurant as “the beginning of the beginning” for Remington, a little town with big ambitions.

Family of COVID-19 patient wins legal battle, forcing Fauquier Hospital to allow use of unapproved drug IVERMECTIN, from page 2 He said that when he, his sister, father and mother were infected with COVID-19 and became ill in October, they all took Ivermectin at their doctor’s suggestion. Because his parents became sick enough to be admitted to the hospital after a week, they were not able to finish the recommended course of the medication, he said. “I get it. The doctors at the hospital are afraid. This has become politically charged. I’m not trying to go after the hospital. I just want them to use it in hopes that it will help. “They believe it’s a fight between the rights of the hospital and the rights of citizens. They feel their rights trump her rights,” said Davies. While he cares for his father during his continued recovery from COVID, Davies is on family medical leave from Fauquier Hospital. He is an X-ray CT technologist who works the night shift. He said, “It’s been the hardest thing I’ve had to go through in my life. To be working as a nightshift tech, we are the ones that do the daily ICU X-rays in the morning. I’ve seen firsthand the decline of my mother’s condition.”
The legal battle
The family secured a court order – signed by Fisher -- on Dec. 7 that would have allowed the family to administer Ivermectin to Kathleen Davies. But when Christopher Davies arrived at the intensive care unit that afternoon and met with a registered nurse, he was prevented from entering or administering the drug. Davies said that he was permitted to see his mother but was asked to leave the Ivermectin in his car. The hospital’s attorney, Tracie Dorfman of Hancock, Daniel & Johnson, P.C., in Fairfax filed a motion that claimed that the court order in the civil suit was delivered Dec. 7 without any input from the hospital, the defendant in the suit. It stated, “The hospital cannot legally or physically administer Dr. Martha Marie Maturi’s order and prescription to administer Ivermectin to Kathleen Davies for a number of reasons. … ” The reasons were outlined in the motion and are summarized here: • The prescription at issue was written by Dr. Maturi of Fairfax, who does not have privileges to practice at Fauquier Hospital. Dr. Mauri is not board certified in critical care medicine or emergency medicine. According to the motion, she does not have the qualifications to provide care to patients who are inpatients in the ICU setting. • None of the physicians caring for Kathleen Davies “believe Ivermectin is in Ms. Davies’s best interests and all have refused to prescribe.” • The nurses working at the hospital “cannot administer medications without an order by a physician with hospital privileges. They cannot administer medications written by outside providers, such as family physicians, etc. that were not ordered by a physician with privileges at the hospital.” If a nurse were to do so, they would be subject to discipline by the Virginia Department of Health. • According to the Dec. 7 court order, the hospital is required to follow Dr. Maturi’s prescription and administer Ivermectin without any limitations or qualifications or the ability to modify. The motion asks, “What if Ms. Davis’s condition deteriorates further or she codes, are the providers to continue the Ivermectin? … With the orders as written, Ms. Davies’s trained, qualified and dedicated physicians and nurses will be stripped of their medical judgment and put in a position that may be detrimental to Ms. Davies’s wellbeing.”
COURTESY PHOTO
Kathleen Davies in happier times with her dog. In response to Davies’ research into Ivermectin, the hospital also attached clinical and anecdotal evidence casting doubts on the efficacy of the drug in treating COVID. On Dec. 9, Fisher considered the hospital’s arguments and ruled that the hospital must transfer care of the patient to the patient’s chosen physician and allow that physician to attend the patient and direct their care. The hospital had argued that the family’s physician could not direct patient care because she does not have privileges at Fauquier Hospital. But Fisher said in his ruling Dec. 9 that the requirement that a doctor have privileges is not written into state code and is therefore not a prerequisite. Fisher also wrote in his decision that although hundreds of pages of legal and medical documents were submitted by both sides to support their arguments, “the court finds it unnecessary to descend into an analysis of the merits of Ivermectin as a treatment protocol.” He wrote, “The specific provisions of the Health Care Decisions Act of Virginia control the rights of the parties and sets out a statutorily specific authority of the court to rule. ... An agent operating under an Advance Medical Directive, as is the case here, is authorized with ‘full power to make health care decisions for [the patient]. The agent may consent to … medication,” and may “hire and fire [the patient’s] health care providers. … That is what happened here.” Christopher Davies and his family were pleased with the judge’s decision last week. Davies said, “After I read it, I understood that he is giving her emergency privileges so we can try it.” At the same time, Davies said, “He is steering clear of practicing medicine from the bench.” But Dr. Maturi was not permitted to administer Ivermectin Friday night and Davies’ attorneys filed a motion that evening, requesting an emergency hearing “regarding defendant’s refusal to permit treatment of Kathleen Marie Davies by plaintiff’s doctor, Martha Marie Maturi, M.D.” See IVERMECTIN, page 8
Clinical studies on Ivermectin treatment of COVID-19
The National Institutes of Health webpage about Ivermectin states, “ … the results of several randomized trials and retrospective cohort studies of Ivermectin use in patients with COVID-19 have been published in peer-reviewed journals or have been made available as manuscripts ahead of peer review. Some clinical studies showed no benefits or worsening of disease after Ivermectin use, whereas others reported shorter time to resolution of disease manifestations that were attributed to COVID-19, greater reduction in inflammatory marker levels, shorter time to viral clearance or lower mortality rates in patients who received Ivermectin than in patients who received comparator drugs or placebo. “However, most of these studies had incomplete information and significant methodological limitations, which make it difficult to exclude common causes of bias.” NIH concluded, “There is insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel to recommend either for or against the use of Ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Results from adequately powered, well-designed and wellconducted clinical trials are needed to provide more specific, evidence-based guidance on the role of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19.” “Several clinical trials that are evaluating the use of Ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 are currently underway or in development. See ClinicalTrials.gov for the latest information.” Source: NIH.gov (https://www. covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/ antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/; last updated, Feb. 11, 2021)
Politically charged
Although Christopher Davies said he does not want the fight to secure Ivermectin treatment for his mother to become political, use of the controversial drug has already attracted national attention and divided people along political lines. The attorney representing the Davies family, Ralph Lorigo, has been involved in similar legal contests all over the country. Adding to the political overtones, Lorigo is also chairman of the Erie County Conservative Party in New York. Bloomberglaw.com reported in a Sept. 1 article titled “String of suits force COVID-19 Ivermectin treatment in hospitals,” that “The string of suits, brought by New York attorney Ralph Lorigo, relies on a national network of internal medicine doctors called the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, which advocates for using the anti-parasitic Ivermectin as one part of a treatment protocol for COVID-19 ICU patients. Lorigo has scored a handful of victories, including in Buffalo, where his firm is located, and in Cincinnati, where a judge last week ordered West Chester Hospital to give the drug prescribed by an outside physician to a 51-year-old man on a ventilator. “The trend is unnerving health lawyers who worry court orders overriding medical guidance could lead to a slippery slope in health systems already strained by the pandemic. Meanwhile, a social media frenzy over Ivermectin is riding a wave of conservative skepticism over the COVID-19 vaccines, leading people to consume the more potent animal form of the drug as a home remedy or prophylactic and contributing to a sharp increase in poison control calls in the southern U.S.” Anti-vaccination rhetoric has often been invoked alongside calls for controversial COVID-19 treatments like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. The Davies family is “a pro-life” family, said Christopher Davies, and chose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19 because fetal cells were used in the development of the vaccine. The National Catholic Bioethics Center states, “Many commonly used vaccines [including the COVID-19 vaccines] have their origin in cell lines that were originally developed from an aborted fetus.”

New draft Virginia legislative maps are released Virginia Supreme Court scheduled to approve the new districts by Dec. 19 By Peter Galuszia
“At a glance, they look fair as part of a partisan balance. It’s great they are out so soon to give the public a chance to look at them.” LIZ WHITE Director of OneVirginia2021
Virginia Mercury
Special redistricting experts working for the Virginia Supreme Court have submitted redrawn federal and state legislative districts. The new maps for the U.S. House of Representatives, the House of Delegates and the state Senate are out for public review in advance of public hearings at the court Dec. 15 and 17. The court will consider the comments and approve new maps by Dec. 19. Legislators and others were scrambling Thursday to review the proposed maps. Conversations with some of them show that the efforts by special masters Sean P. Trende and Bernard N. Grofman met expectations for maps drawn with communities, not political incumbents, in mind. “This gets pretty close to being fair,” said Del. Lashrecse Aird, D-Petersburg. One key principle that the masters kept in mind was the idea of “communities of interest” in which actual groupings of voters around related cities, towns and counties were given more weight than drawing oddly shaped districts designed to maintain the political status quo.
“We carefully drew districts that met constitutional and statutory population requirements,” Trende and Grofman wrote in their summary released Dec. 8. “In doing so, we minimized county and city splits, while respecting natural boundaries and communities of interest (“COIs”) to the extent possible.” That, said Liz White, director of OneVirginia2021, a nonprofit that pushed hard to take redistricting out of the hands of the majority party in the General Assembly, is “a huge part of the national redistricting movement.” “At a glance, they look fair as part of a partisan balance,” White said. “It’s great they are out so soon to give the public a chance to look at them.” Takeaways from early reviews of the maps tended to show that the maps tend to favor Democrats more than Republicans because they are concentrated around natural social centers, such as cities. The proposed redraw of the 7th Congressional District, however, was immediately controversial because the special masters recommended that the entire district be
moved farther north to include Stafford and Prince Williams counties that are quickly diversifying and growing more Democratic. The current 7th District would be distributed between the 5th and 1st Congressional Districts, seats now held by Republicans Bob Good and Rob Wittman. The loser in the plans appears to be U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Henrico, an up-and-coming politician who has received national attention and has been a major GOP target. She had planned to run for a third term, but if she wants to do so now, she’ll have to run elsewhere. Possibilities include running in the 1st District and facing Wittman, who would be a strong competitor or the new 7th District, which is 50 miles from her home in Henrico County. “That’s bad news for Spanberger but good news overall for the Democrats,” said Stephen Farnsworth, a professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington. White, of OneVirginia2021, said “it is not the job of the special masters to protect anyone.” Spanberger’s
office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Del. Sally Hudson, D-Charlottesville, gave a positive review of the new proposed 57th district, which she currently represents. The map places Charlottesville squarely in the center of the district with suburbs extended outward “like a doughnut,” she said. “It’s natural. Voters can work in the city and live, shop and play just outside of it.” Several Republican lawmakers did not respond to requests for comment on the new maps. Garren Shipley, a spokesman for incoming GOP House Majority Leader Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah, said “We have a blanket no comment policy on redistricting.” After the public hearings and the Supreme Court’s final decision, the new maps will be set. There won’t be a legislative or gubernatorial review, White says. Map redrawing has long been a controversial process because the party in charge of the General Assembly typically got its way to make new maps that kept their people in power. Fed up, voters approved a Constitutional amendment in 2020 calling for a 16-member redistricting commission comprised of eight citizens nominated by legislators and eight lawmakers. The commission, however, was paralyzed by partisanship and acrimony, failing to agree on a single set of maps.

What the maps mean for Fauquier
The partisan “lean” of existing and proposed districts comes from an analysis by the Virginia Public Access Project based on data from the 2016 presidential election. In the House of Delegates, Fauquier County would be included as part of two districts, both solidly Republican, under the new proposed map. Incumbent Republican Del. Nick Freitas, a Culpeper County resident, would have no problem winning re-election in the new 61st District, which would include most of Fauquier’s population. A Republican would also likely win in the new 31st District. The bigger question is: Which Republican? Incumbent Del. Mike Webert (R-Marshall) and David LaRock (R-Hamilton) both live in the proposed district. Va. Sen. Jill Vogel (R-Upperville) currently represents all of Fauquier County, which is part of the current 27th District. Under the new maps, most of Fauquier’s population, from Warrenton and New Baltimore to the southern end of the county, would be moved to the new 28th District, which would be overwhelmingly Republican. Incumbent Va. Sen. Bryce Reeves (R-Spotsylvania) would easily win re-election. Vogel’s place of residence would be included in the new 31st District; that district could be very competitive. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won the area encompassed by the new district by 6 percentage points in 2016. Loudoun County, much of which is included in the proposed 31st District, has become less Democratic since the 2020 presidential election, however. Loudoun residents voted 39% Republican during the 2017 gubernatorial election and 44% in this year’s race, giving Vogel a solid chance of retaining her seat with the new map. The transformation of the U.S. House of Representatives districts including Fauquier County is significant. Fauquier County is currently split between the 5th District, which reaches from northern Fauquier to the North Carolina border, and the 1st District, which spans an area from Bealeton to Jamestown. Both districts have consistently voted for Republicans. All of that would change under the new maps. Fauquier County would become part of the new 10th District, essentially spanning all of the Virginia Piedmont north of Charlottesville. Based on the results of the 2016 presidential election, the new district would be a partisan toss-up. Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Leesburg) is the only congressional incumbent residing in the proposed 10th District.

Warrenton officials seek to enable 150 homes to connect to public water, sewer By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
With the approval of a federal grant, the town of Warrenton is another step closer to hooking up more than 150 homes to the town’s public water and sewer system. It is a many-decades old problem: Because of the high fee associated with connecting to town water and sewer services, some homes are still using septic fields for their sewer waste and/or getting their water from wells. They are fragile systems that could fail at any time. Denise Harris, the town’s planning manager, held meetings with affected homeowners Tuesday night. She said that the town council formed a septic remediation committee in July to look into solutions. Town council members Brett Hamby (Ward 3) and James Hartman (Ward 4) and community members Anita Sutherland, Katherine Neville and
Residents asked to complete survey
Any town Warrenton resident who is living in a home without public sewer or water is encouraged to fill out the town’s survey on their “legacy” systems, their age and condition. Denise Harris, the town’s planning manager, emphasized that it’s possible to opt out of the grant-funded project at any time, but anyone who doesn’t take the first step of filling out the survey will not be eligible to benefit from the grant. “You can opt out anytime, but you can’t opt in later if you don’t fill out the survey.” The confidential survey will also include questions about residents’ income levels. It is to be filled out for the residents of the home, not the owner, if the home is a rental property. Harris said that residents of identified properties will receive a certified letter with the survey. In addition, trained surveyors may go door-to-door to help complete surveys, said Harris. Toni Smith comprise the committee. The women researched grants that could enable the town to extend service to all who want it. The committee initially found more than 100 options but narrowed it down to 47 that the town would be most likely to qualify for. On Nov. 1, the town received ap-
proval of a planning grant, awarded by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. Harris explained that the planning grant provides $5,000 for a series of tasks that will assess the need for the project and whether residents are interested in hooking up to public services. If the project is deemed viable to move for-
ward, $45,000 would be granted to pay for engineering to design a solution. Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer explained that this part of the process would determine, “How much money is needed, how big is the problem and what is the socioeconomic breakdown?” Compiled data and the engineering design would then be submitted for an implementation grant next fall. If approved – and there is no timeline yet for this – the town would decide how to use the money to implement the design, or part of the design, depending on the amount of the grant. The Comprehensive Community Development grant projects are funded through the competitive Community Development Block Grant funds. These grants may range from $1,250,000 to $1,500,000, said Harris. See SEPTIC, page 13
State grant helps close Fauquier’s broadband gap BROADBAND, from page 1 The project will utilize existing power line poles owned by Dominion and Rappahannock Electric to bring “middle mile” fiber-optic cables to the parts of the county that are not currently served by high-speed wired internet service. All Points will then connect to those lines to provide “last mile” service directly to homes. All Points representatives laid out the details of the agreement at a September supervisors’ meeting. Consumer plans will start at $60 per month for the “basic” 50 megabyte-per-second (Mbps) plan – the maximum speed would be the same for uploading and downloading data — with rate increases not exceeding the rate of inflation for the duration of the public-private partnership. Other plans will bring speeds of up to 1 gigabyte-per-second (Gbps) to homes, with a monthly fee of $120 for the 1 Gbps plan. Plans above “basic” will not be subject to the same restrictions on fee increases. All Points will charge a $200 installation fee for all connections that require 500 feet or less
of new wiring from the main power line; a perfoot fee, currently pegged at about $1.20, would be charged for the distance beyond 500 feet. That “long drop” fee, applying to homes farther away from the nearest road, will be waived for those who connect within the first year of the service becoming available. Since 2019, supervisors have focused on another public-private partnership, with Florida-based Data Stream Mobile Technologies, contributing $4.7 million to subsidize the installation of fixed-wireless broadcast equipment on 18 towers around the county. While that effort has connected hundreds of homes, availability of the service is highly dependent on terrain and the location of towers. The fiber-optic project, on the other hand, will create nearly universal availability since it utilizes existing electric power infrastructure. “This is the full Monty,” Gerhardt said. More details will be announced in early 2022 about the exact timeframe of construction, according to Deputy County Administrator Erin Kozanecki. County residents can sign up for updates about
the project at fiber.allpointsbroadband.com. The Fauquier fiber-optic project, part of a wider $95 million application submitted in conjunction with All Points and the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission, is one of dozens of beneficiaries of the latest round of allocations from the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced grants Monday totaling $722 million. Most of that funding came in turn from the state’s share of federal American Rescue Plan Act allocations. “This new funding will close Virginia’s digital divide with universal broadband by 2024,” the governor said in a press release. Combined with private investment from fiber-optic providers and local matching funds, the latest round of allocations represents a roughly $1.7 billion investment toward connecting rural homes in Virginia to high-speed internet. The funds are expected to make fiber-optic internet connections available to more than 278,000 homes and business across the state, according to the governor’s office.

Family of COVID-19 patient wins legal battle, forcing Fauquier Hospital to allow use of unapproved drug IVERMECTIN, from page 4 The motion reads: “In the hours following the court’s entry of the order, counsel for plaintiff spoke with defendant’s counsel and arranged to have Dr. Maturi provide the information requested by defendant so that Dr. Maturi could be granted the temporary privileges. … ” The motion continued that Dr. Maturi provided a significant amount of information, but after “hours of waiting,” defendant’s counsel announced that the defendant could not comply with the order because Dr. Maturi “refused to accept the transfer of care for Mrs. Davies.” The motion claimed this was not true. The motion asked for the emer-

gency hearing to address the acts of the hospital, which it said are “effectively running out the clock on Mrs. Davies’s life.” Monday morning, the hospital’s attorney filed an opposition to the motion, stating that the hospital was attempting to comply with the court order, but: “Following multiple discussions and the submission of Dr. Matu-
ri’s qualifications, Dr. Maturi and the defendant recognized that Dr. Maturi would not be able to care for the plaintiff in an ICU setting, including her lack of experience caring for patients in the hospital (she has not done so for over 10 years) and the practical difficulties of her being available at the hospital quickly, given where Dr. Maturi currently resides.”
The opposition documentation continued that the hospital attempted to find other medical professionals who would be willing to administer the Ivermectin, including three anesthesiologists, but all three declined. The emergency hearing was held at 2 p.m. Dec. 13 and Fauquier Hospital was held in contempt. Fisher wrote that Fauquier Hospital was “needlessly interposing requirements that stand in the way of [a] patient’s desired physician administering investigational drugs as part of the Health Care Decisions Act and the federal and state Right to Try Acts.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Warrenton seeks to expand town boundaries by 60% BOUNDARY, from page 1 The five areas that would be absorbed surround the town’s existing boundaries but are heavily weighted toward the southern end of town on both sides of U.S. 29, where 1,518 acres are targeted. Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill did not respond to several requests for comment. But Board of Supervisors Chairman Chris Granger (Center District), in an interview, guessed that the town’s reasons for wanting to absorb the five parcels included giving the town a bigger voice in its future and improving its revenue stream. Supervisors expressed hope that their response would launch discussions with the town over the pros and cons of the transfer of the various parcels, as well as stimulate input from affected parties and the public. The town is asking for a “boundary adjustment” to allow it to take in the properties; the town could also move to annex the parcels, but that legal process is more time-consuming and could be contentious. Granger said the supervisors’ letter includes the county’s desire for more public conversations on potential revenue sharing arrangements, economic development opportunities, proffers for county services and establishment of a joint planning
group for the area surrounding the town’s borders.
Background
Public discussions have taken place since 2019 regarding the town’s interest in absorbing two parcels. One is the so-called panhandle along U.S. 15/29 north of town that includes numerous auto dealerships; the other is an area to the south between Meetze Road and the Eastern Bypass that includes Lord Fairfax Community College. What wasn’t publicly discussed was that the town is also targeting the 444-acre Arrington property where Van Metre Homes is planning a new development — approved six years ago by county supervisors — and another 330-acre parcel to the north of that. These maps had been the subject of closed-door meetings between the town and county dating back at least two years, but one supervisor said they stopped during 2020 because of the pandemic. They took on some new urgency with their mention at the town-county liaison meeting on Nov. 16 and then a surprise move at a planning commission meeting on Nov. 18. At that meeting’s work session, the board was considering a request from Van Metre to move 28 acres adjacent to its planned development into the town’s service district to
provide more space for sewer drain fields, when Commissioner Diane Roteman (Center District) asked for a 60-day postponement. She questioned making the town take on more drain fields and mentioned ongoing “boundary line discussions.” Commissioner Bob Lee (Marshall District) objected, saying the county had approved an “exemplary” plan for this development in 2015 and the board needed to move things along. On Thursday, when the maps were released, it became clear that the property was among those that were being discussed in closed sessions by the supervisors and town council.
Arrington property
A boundary line move may have significant impact on the Van Metre development. The property was approved for a 227-home development by Alwington Farm Developers, LLC in 2015. Under the arrangement, Warrenton would provide water but not sewer, and nearly all of the homes would be limited to owners 55 and older. That plan stalled, the developer claimed, because financing was hard to obtain for an over-55 subdivision. In August 2019, Alwington’s president Russell Marks asked the supervisors at a public meeting to change the over-55 requirement, but the board delayed action. Mary Leigh
McDaniel, the supervisor in whose Marshall District it rested, has said her constituents insist that the project remain over-55. When the project stalled in 2020, Van Metre signed a contract with Alwington to take over development. Van Metre has not said publicly where it stands on reducing the over-55 requirement. Granger said in an interview that the town’s growth had stalled and that it needs more people. He said he was skeptical of the Arrington development as a whole, but said he was immediately opposed to adding drain fields to the town’s service district. When he heard Van Metre needed 28 acres so it could improve its drain fields, he said, “I’m like, ‘No way, you guys need to go back and talk to the town about getting sewer.’” “If there’s going to be 200 houses there, I would much prefer they’re going to be on public water; I would much rather they be on public sewer. And we not have these drain fields out there that we all know are going to fail,” he said. “In the end, if Arrington ends up in the town, it fixes a whole lot of stuff.” But he noted that the process for changing the boundary lines is a “long road.” “There’s a whole lot of stuff that has to be sorted out,” he said.

Warrenton officials seek to enable 150 homes to connect to public water, sewer SEPTIC, from page 8 Harris said, “We want to help as many people as we can. It’s possible we could choose to do one neighborhood one year, another the next year and another the following year.”
Gathering data
The meeting Tuesday night set in motion the data collection part of the study. The 40 or so attendees were asked to fill out a short survey about whether or not their home is served by septic for sewer or by a well for water, and about the condition of the system. Another important part of the confidential survey asks about the incomes of the people that live in the home. (The survey is to be filled out for the residents of the home, not the owner, if the home is a rental property.) The grant is meant to help communities with a larger percentage of low- to moderate-income residents; the income information will be used to make the case to the state that the grant will help those who need it most. Sutherland, Neville and Smith estimate that there are about 153 homes without septic or without water. Sutherland said, “There are more homes than we thought.” Neville said that the town seems to be in a good position to qualify for the implementation grant. “A lot of the homes are clustered together,” which would make sewer and water hook-up projects more cost effective. Residents had questions about how much they would be asked to pay toward the cost of the hook up. Deputy Public Works Director Paul Bernard said that the cost of a water and sewer hookup currently is $15,000; $11,000 of that is for sewer. The goal of the grant, said Harris, is to offset some of that cost, but it’s too early to tell how much of the cost homeowners would still have to pay. She said that before the data is in hand and the grant approved, it’s impossible to say what the final outcome would be. “We don’t know how far the money will go.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@ fauquier.com

GUEST OPINION
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We can prevent deaths from COVID-19 Traffic solution causes new problem All too often recently, I have heard the tale of somebody’s family member or friend who was hospitalized and died with COVID-19. Many of these people were in their 50s or younger; doubtless some left spouses and children behind. The one consistent line in each sad tale: They were unvaccinated. COVID deaths are mostly preventable with the vaccine. The latest numbers are painfully clear. In the last three months, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District (Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties) has counted 68 deaths from COVID-19. In the same time period, Loudoun County, which has more than double our population, has counted 19 (as of Dec. 10). Why are our residents dying from COVID at a rate many times higher than those in Loudoun? Yes, on average, the people in Loudoun County may be slightly younger and rather wealthier than those south of Route 50, but this does not explain why we have about eight times Loudoun’s COVID death rate. The answer is in plain sight. In the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, 33% of the population age 5 and older is unvaccinated — not even one shot — and in Loudoun that number is only 18%. We have nearly double Loudoun’s share of unvaccinated people. This is allowing the disease to spread and find those most vulnerable, and we are paying a very dear price for it. COVID will cause empty chairs at Christmas dinner this year, dear ones missing from festive gatherings, and families suffering the loss of spouse, parent and livelihood. Experience proves that most COVID deaths can be prevented with vaccination, yet people continue to refuse it. As a physician, and as a Christian, this breaks my heart.
DR. COLIN GREENE
My earnest prayer is that those who have not yet received the COVID vaccine and are eligible would make the decision to protect themselves from severe disease and death, by accepting the vaccine that has already benefitted hundreds of millions of people. Those with health concerns should consult their own physicians, but nearly everyone age 5 and older should be able to receive this simple protection against a disease that is killing far too many of our neighbors. We all want the best for our families. We work to give them the best we can; we plan for our children’s careers; we even buy life insurance to protect them financially. If we do all that, why would we not get a couple of shots to ensure we’ll still be around for them when this pandemic is over? Let’s not allow COVID to cause more empty chairs at the table, and let’s not allow it to start the new year with more funerals. Make the choice to live. Please talk to your doctor about getting the vaccine, and if you’ve been vaccinated, about getting the booster. Peace and joy to you this Christmas season, and good health and prosperity in the New Year. Dr. Colin Greene is a retired U.S. Army family physician and is serving as the acting director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, serving Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock counties.

The new stop sign at U.S. 17 coming out of Marshall has slightly alleviated the dangerous back up on the turning lane for Interstate 66 west. However, here are the major problems I have observed. There is no sign to alert the westbound turning lane to proceed through the intersection, causing some to slam on their brakes. Meanwhile, the traffic coming
out of Marshall gets backed up past the McDonald’s. This sometimes causes impatient drivers to bolt through the stop sign. Most of these problems would be solved by traffic lights. This solution has been long overdue for the entire on and off ramp system in Marshall. DAN KUTRUFF Delaplane
POLICE BRIEF
Bealeton man charged for allegedly damaging multiple properties with truck By Liam Bowman
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
A Bealeton man was arrested Dec. 7 after allegedly driving his truck through properties in Remington and Bealeton, causing potentially thousands of dollars in damage. Brian Waldron, Jr., 40, has been charged with two felony counts of destruction of property and two counts of reckless driving, according to the criminal complaint filed with Waldron’s arrest. In the early morning hours of Nov. 28, witnesses in the area of West Street, Remington, observed a “Blue Dodge Ram pickup” drive onto the yard of a residence, said the complaint. The truck allegedly drove around the property three or four times, damaging trash cans, a bird feeder and leaving tire marks “on the front yard and around the back of the house,” according to the complaint. Damage was estimated at about $1,000. When questioned by Fauquier sheriff’s deputies, a witness identified the truck as belonging to Waldron and provided deputies with Waldron’s address. Deputies also found “two wrenches and one hammer located near the tire tracks,” which had allegedly fallen from the truck, the complaint said. Deputies traveled to an Elk Run Road address, given by witnesses as Waldron’s residence, and found Waldron “asleep in his truck” parked outside, according to the complaint. Waldron told law enforcement that he “was inside of the vehicle the entire night because he was locked outside of his home.” Waldron’s blue Ram pickup matched the description given by witnesses, but he denied ever being at the Remington address and “denied causing any damage,” the complaint added. Investigators noticed, however,
Brian Waldron, Jr.
that “Waldron’s truck had damage to the front, fresh grass in his wheel well and mud on his tires,” said the complaint. They also found unsecured tools in the truck bed that matched the tools found at the scene, the complaint alleged. While investigating the Remington incident, the FCSO received a report of a similar incident on Woodside Lane in Bealeton. The caller told deputies that “someone had driven through the fence and torn up their commercial alfalfa field before driving through the fence again in another location,” causing significant damage, according to a separate criminal complaint. The complaint estimated the damage as up to $2,000, but a search warrant affidavit, filed later, placed the damage at only $400. Upon arrival, deputies found a “silver license plate frame … with the word ‘RAM’ inscribed on it,” as well as “pieces of black cosmetic molding” which were torn off by the fence, and which matched the molding on Waldron’s vehicle, the complaint said. By Dec. 1, the FCSO’s investigation was able to link Waldron to both incidents, according to a search warrant affidavit. He was ultimately arrested Dec. 7 and released on recognizance. Sheriff’s investigators are investigating two additional property destruction incidents nearby that were reported the same night.

KETTLE RUN BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW
‘VERY TALENTED’ COUGARS SHOULD BE CONTENDERS By Peter Brewington
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Fast facts
-Coach: Christian Yancey Kettle Run boys basketball (third year) coach Christian Yancey gets -Key returnees: Jacob a little emotional as when he Robinson, Sr.; Cooper thinks about seniors like Jacob Gohlmann, Sr.; Jordan Robinson, Cooper Gohlmann, Tapscott, Jr.; Damien Damien Sirisena and Kolby Sirisena, Sr.; Kolby White, White. Sr.; Cole Roeber, Sr. “The seniors playing now were my first high school basketball team I coached four years ago on the freshman team,” said Yancey. The 25-year-old Yancey was only 21 when he coached those freshmen. “It has been a joy to watch these boys mature to young men. I couldn’t be more proud of the athletes, students, and men they have become,” said Yancey. Like his players, the youthful Yancey — a 2014 Kettle Run grad who shined as the Cougars’ starting point guard during his time playing for coach Troy Washington — has grown, too. As a first-year varsity coach in 2019-20, Yancey guided Kettle Run into the regional playoffs, then went 1-6 in the pandemic-marred 2020-21 year. With the Northwestern District up to seven members, the Cougars should be in the mix for the title. “We’ve got about six guys that can score the basketball, whether it’s getting to the cup or shooting from the outside, we have the ability to score,” said Yancey, a Radford University grad who teaches special education at Kettle Run. Veteran-heavy, Kettle Run has eight seniors and five juniors on its 13-member squad. The starting five are seniors Robinson, Gohlmann, Sirisena and White, along with junior Jordan Tapscott. Senior Cole Roeber, junior J.J. Mulhern and senior Blake Doerler are key role players who can also start. See KETTLE RUN, page 18
Cougars flex muscles in blowing out rival Eagles By Peter Brewington
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Although they hadn’t shown it early in the season, Kettle Run coach Christian Yancey believes he has a very strong team. His Cougars showed in their fourth game, roaring to a masterful 66-28 home win over Liberty last Friday. “Coming off a 1-2 start we made a change in hopes to bring some scoring from Jacob Robinson and Cooper Gohlmann off the bench,” said Yancey. “No one cared who the leading scorer was and that’s how we have to approach each night.” With Cole Roeber and Blake Doerler inserted into the starting lineup, the Cougars raced out to an early 13-3 lead and led 17-8 at the end of the first quarter. They didn’t stop there, outscoring Liberty 25-8 to lead 43-15 at the break. Kettle Run also outscored the Eagles 15-7 in the third and 8-6 in the fourth as the teams played with a running clock. “They are just really good,” said Liberty coach Pat Frazer. Five Cougar reached double figures as Cole Roeber, Jordan Tapscott and Kolby White each scored 11 points. Jacob Robinson and Cooper Gohlmann each added 10. Damien Siriena was also significant, adding seven points and four assists. Blake Doerler had a solid defensive game with a pair of blocks.

Fauquier’s boys basketball team improved to 2-2 by beating Culpeper for the second time this year. Luke Harris scored 19, Oscar Lemus had 14 and Damari Williams eight as the Falcons won 62-48. It was 25-25 at halftime before the Falcons pulled away. “It was a great team win. It was a close game in the first, second and third but eventually Culpeper ran out of gas,” said coach William Hatchett. FHS visits Eastern View Tuesday and Kettle Run Friday. A game with Brentsville was postponed last week.

For the first time this season, a Liberty boys basketball game wasn’t tied with a minute left. After four straight thrillingly tight games, Liberty (3-3) rolled to a 55-36 win over Brentsville on Dec. 7. The Eagles jumped out to a 17-10

Senior guard James Fowler and the Eagles (3-3) were scheduled to meet Brentsville Tuesday, then head to Sherando Friday for a district matchup.
Cougars ‘all possess the ability to shoot’ KETTLE RUN, from page 17 “It’s a very talented group of kids who have been playing basketball together for some while. All possess the ability to shoot the basketball and put it on the floor for two,” said Yancey. “We have a magnitude of seniors so age and experience are on our side.” Yancey views himself as a player’s coach who follows the wisdom of Villanova’s Jay Wright. “I tell my players all the time, ‘Give your two cents. It doesn’t matter how big your contribution is.
What matters is how much heart you put into it,’’’ he said. “I tell the players their two pennies are worth just as much as mine. ‘Your opinion and role no matter how big matters.’’’ Kettle Run is 2-2, losing to a strong Manassas Park squad 65-56 and beating Brentsville 64-31, then blowing out Liberty 66-28. The Liberty win made up for what Yancey called “a rough start. We’re plagued with injuries. There’s only one ball and we are all figuring out how to get our piece of the pie while winning as a team.”

With double-double, Humphries leads Kettle Run girls past Liberty, 48-27 Falcons score key 44-36 win over Brentsville By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
Kettle Run girls basketball got out of the blocks quickly Friday. The Cougars took a 48-27 road victory at Liberty in the Northwestern District opener for both schools. Kettle Run (2-2) led 11-3 after one quarter and 19-10 at the half. The visitors then opened a commanding margin with a 16-4 third-quarter surge as the lead rose to 35-14. “The energy and focus we had Thursday during practice and Friday leading up to the game was great,” said coach David Noonan. “Being able to put that all together in a win is even better.” All teams practice executing their offenses versus zone and man-toman defenses, but many high school teams play zone in games. Liberty played man-to-man strategy and Kettle Run embraced the challenge. “We did some good things offensively that we haven’t had the opportunity to see in live action,” said Noonan. “We rarely get to work on our man-to-man offense, so it was good seeing that against someone else.” Senior Emma Humphries had a strong night, posting a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Ava Prysock followed with eight points, five rebounds, three steals and five assists. Bethany Norman
added six points and eight rebounds, while Erin Porter recorded a solid all-around game with six points, two blocks, two steals, four assists and four rebounds. Ashley Hume, Reagan Patrick and Crys Goldman all scored four points. Goldman also hauled in eight rebounds.
Falcons improve to 4-1
Fauquier collected a 44-36 non-district win Friday against Brentsville behind a suffocating second-half defense that permitted only 10 points. “That is hard to do against a wellcoached team like Brentsville,” said a pleased Fauquier coach Brian Foddrell, who cited the defensive efforts of Kenza Chienku, Carly McMurphy and Taylor Knighting off the bench. Foddrell said Fauquier also made offensive adjustments to increase overall involvement. Makayla Foddrell paced the attack with 12 points. April Belcher scored 10 and Skyler Furr nine. Gabby Garrison and Bhavika Regeti tallied seven and six points, respectively. “This was a great team win for us against a very strong team to build confidence before we begin conference play,” said Foddrell. Fauquier (4-1) hosts Kettle Run (2-2) Friday, while Sherando visits Liberty (1-4). Junior varsity action at both sites starts at 6 p.m., followed by varsity play at 7:30.
Dear Readers, December 14, 2021 This is the second year of Piedmont Journalism Foundation’s ownership of the Fauquier Times, and a memorable one for the quality and scope of the newspaper’s reporting. To supplement the prolific coverage of core local matters by editor Robin Earl and Coy Ferrell, PJF has engaged two full-time reporters and occasionally other writers to provide nonpartisan in-depth explanatory articles for the weekly print edition and the daily internet offerings. This work has been made possible by taxdeductible donations to PJF. The additional journalism has included frequent original reporting on zoning/land use and environmental matters by Peter Cary, a highly experienced reporter, and on cultural and legal matters by the young, talented Liam Bowman. They and others have written articles about solar projects on farm land, data centers, storm water treatment problems, stream pollution, imports of massive quantities of dirt from out-of-county highway projects and the causes and impact of job vacancies in the county government. There was the “Filling in Fauquier’s Past” series about enslaved people and their legacy as well as deeply reported obituaries and profiles of unusual art exhibits and book author talks. The newspaper’s journalism had already been exceptional. In early 2021 the Fauquier Times for the fourth consecutive year won the Virginia Press Association’s grand prize for the state’s best non-daily newspaper in 2020 in its size group. The Fauquier Times also won awards for the best overall news quality and for best in advertising. It won 50 prizes, including 22 individual first-place awards. Our newspaper would not be here – much less able to produce quality journalism – without loyal subscribers and donors to PJF. The closing of community newspapers has become an epidemic in our country. The Fauquier Times aspires to operate on a break-even basis. But advertising revenue, which provides most of revenue as it does at other small newspapers, continues to decline nation-wide and here. Community support through the non-profit PJF has become crucial to the paper’s future. NewsMatch, a national group of journalism funders, will match donations to PJF up to $1,000 through December. As you contemplate the many requests for your help at year’s end, please consider PJF and the journalism it funds as a way to promote community spirit and purpose in these polarizing times. Gratefully, The Board of Directors, Piedmont Journalism Foundation Piedmont Journalism Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (IRS # 83007859620), and your gift is fully deductible to the extent of the law. Please send donations by check, payable to PJF, to Box 21, The Plains, VA 20198. Or give by credit card through www.piedmontjournalism.org/support-us.

OBITUARIES Caroline Anne Mallon Harris On November 29, 2021, just one day short of her sixty-eighth birthday, Caroline Anne Mallon Harris lost her long battle with congestive heart failure and passed away at home with her husband George and sister Katherine Mallon Johnson by her side. Born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, on November 30, 1953, the daughter of Edward Vincent Mallon and Anne Louise McGeorge Mallon, Caroline (Carrie to her family and friends) spent her formative years in Montclair, New Jersey. She attended Edgemont Elementary School and Lacordaire Academy before matriculating to Rosemont College, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History (Minor in Secondary Education).She moved to Manassas, Virginia in 1976 as the Director of Undergraduate Education for Pepperdine College’s off-campus program at the Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia and to attend the University of Virginia where she completed a Masters of Arts Degree in Education Counseling Psychology. It was here she met her future husband George Stanley Harris who was a Navy officer stationed at Quantico, VA. The year 1978 provided the opportunity for her talents in educational counseling to come to full fruition when she became the first professional educational counselor and founding Director of the Center for Academic Advising at The George Washington University School of Business. Starting as a one-person counseling office, over the next thirty years, she grew the Center for Academic Advising into the gold standard for most every undergraduate program within the university. She assembled what she called her dream team of six professional advisors, two administrative staff and always three or four student workers. It was during this time and while she was recovering from surgery for two vertebral fractures that she wrote a definitive guide for educational counseling. During her tenure as the director of the Advising Center, she became an integral member of various committees within the School of Business and received several awards for her contribution to the mission of the School of Business. Carrie and George were married in their Manassas home in 1983 where they lived for the next 38-1⁄2 years. They became avid campers in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Adirondack National Park getting away at every opportunity. Following a tall ship cruise out of Camden, ME they became cabin campers in northern Maine for some 20 years. Hiking, canoeing, and kayaking were their favorite pastimes with Carrie documenting everything with her various cameras and creating beautiful photo albums which were perused by family and friends. Both Carrie and George were avid readers, always checking out numerous books from their local libraries when going on trips and hours of audio books filled driving times. Holidays brought out Carrie’s penchant for decorating and bringing folks together for buffets prepared by George. Fine wines and good single malt scotch were among her favorite beverages. She particularly delighted in decorating their Christmas trees with the many ornaments they collected in their travels. To say that her life was all roses would be misleading. Starting with breast cancer in 1996, she had numerous health issues including four heart surgeries and three strokes, after her second stroke, it was thought her mobility would be restricted and her speech would be limited but after three months of intensive speech, physical and occupational therapy, she walked out of the INOVA Mount Vernon Hospital chattering away. After a third stroke in 2019, George asked her how she was able to deal with all the adversities she had faced and with a little smile she replied, “Oh, with a little drop of determination. “And that is how she handled every adverse event. This pluck made her an inspiration to everyone who ever knew her and testimonies to her strength and courage were frequent. Carrie was preceded in death by her parents, Edward Vincent Mallon, and Anne Louise McGeorge Mallon and her sister Margaret Grace, her, stepson Kyle Stanley Harris, step-grandson Utilities man First Class Raymond (Joey) F.J. Luckett III, USN and her nephew Matthew Thomas Johnson. She is survived by her husband George Stanley Harris, her siblings, Edward A. Mallon, Mary Flate (Ray), Katherine M. Johnson (Zachary), William G. Mallon II Betsy), James C. Mallon (Gina), stepchildren Michael Harris (Midori), Shannon Morrow (Kim), Tracey Luckett (Raymond), Kathleen Hairfield (David), and Sean Harris, thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. The family will receive visitors between 6:00PM and 8:00 PM at the Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, VA on Wednesday, December 15, 2021, and a memorial service will be held at the Pierce Funeral Home chapel at 11:00 AM, Thursday, December 16, 2021, with burial at the Culpeper National Cemetery at 2:00 PM. In lieu flowers, the family requests that you consider donations to the Lacordaire Academy, 155 Lorraine Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07043 in her memory.
Thomas Henry Banks, Sr. Thomas Henry Banks, Sr., 88, of Broad Run, VA, passed December 2, 2021.

Mrs. Julia Leverett Jones Mrs. Julia Leverett Jones, 82, passed away on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at home with her family at her bedside, including her husband of 60 years, William Patton Jones, identical twin sons Mark Leverett Jones (Rebecca) and Michael Leander Jones (Shea), and daughter, Michelle Leigh Dunnivan. Julia was born on July 28, 1939 to Benton Hardiman Leverett and Alma Hill Leverett in Junction City, Kentucky. She was raised by her father and stepmother, Menette Ammons Leverett in Warner Robbins, Georgia and a short time later, on a small family farm in Stewart County, Georgia. She was very involved in the 4-H Clubs (Head, Heart, Hands, Health) of Georgia, Winning the Atlanta Constitution Leadership Award and affording her a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet President Dwight Eisenhower. She was a graduate of Berry College in Rome, Georgia, where she majored in Home Economics while simultaneously working for the school to pay for her education. For her entire life, she lived by founder, Martha Berry’s motto, “Not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” She was first hired as a teacher at Marshall High School in Fauquier County, where she remained while following her husband and his military career to Vint Hill Farms Station in the early 1960s. Both worked all the time, devoted to each other, and even starting a family business-a service station names JONES ESSO in Marshall, Virginia. She found her passion and calling to be a lifelong educator, serving schools in Fauquier County, Webster County and Randolph County, both in Georgia, and finally Prince William County, VA, where she served the majority of the 30 years at Gainesville Elementary School in Haymarket, VA before retiring from the nearby Mountain View Elementary School. The most beloved teaching post she held was the First Communion Class of Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Warrenton, VA, where she served for many, many years. She and Bill were Charter Members of the Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club, where she served a term as Club President. She was a devout Christian woman who lived according to the Bible and its teachings, truly a Wife of Noble Character (Proverbs 31). She was predeceased by her mother Alma, who died in 1946 in Washington, D.C. when Julia was six years old, her father, Benton Hardiman Leverett, and her only sibling, her brother, Charles D. Leverett. She was the grandmother to Rachel Crosswhite (Michael), Braxton Leverett Jones, Keely Jones, Blaine Leverett Jones, Harper Jones, Jake Dunnivan, and Julia Dunivan. She met her first great-grandchild, Sutton Grace Crosswhite, on a visit home from her residence at The Culpeper – Memory Care Unit in July. Thank you to the many dedicated men and women caring for those suffering with Alzheimer’s Disease, especially the professionals at The Culpeper Senior Living Community. The family will receive friends on Thursday, Dec. 16 from 4:00-7:00 PM at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton. Funeral services will be held on Friday, Dec. 17 at 11:00 AM at Our Saviour Lutheran Church, Warrenton with interment following at Bright View Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made in Julia’s name to Our Saviour Lutheran Church, the Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club, or the Hospice of the Piedmont.

Harold “Bud” McCoy Groves Master Craftsman Harold “Bud” McCoy Groves, age 90, of Midland, VA went home to be with The Lord on Saturday, December 11th, 2021 peacefully at home. Bud was born on Thursday, November 26, 1931 in Cramerton, NC. Bud served his country in the Army during the end of the Korean War. He attended Bob Jones University and became an ordained minister. He was a talented master craftsman who built many houses and worked on countless construction projects in the northern Virginia area. Bud loved his family and was devoted to them. He also enjoyed farming, gardening, flying his airplane, reading and studying his Bible, building small remote control airplanes, playing his piano, guitars, and banjo. Bud created so many craft type items, which included items for his sons’ Cub Scouts, the Church, and toys for his grandchildren. He spent time actively involved and serving The Lord at Calverton Baptist Church as a deacon and doing any carpentry work that the Church needed. After suffering a massive stroke in 2002, which took much of his ability to do the things he loved, he spent most of his days deep within his Bible study, listening to music, doing puzzles, and watching his favorite shows. He is survived by his sons, Ricky Groves (Debbie), Jeffery Groves (Brenda); his grandchildren, Matthew Groves (Heather), Michael Groves, Amanda Kubat (Vince), David Groves (Amy Beitzell), Brandon Groves, Emily Snyder (Chris); and great-grandchildren, Lucas Kubat, Joseph Groves, Elias Groves, Jesse Lee Snyder, Colt McCoy Snyder, Saylah Groves, Wesley Groves, and Hailey Snyder. He is also survived by his sisters Margaret Moody and Brenda Howerter (Ronnie); and his brother, James Groves, as well as many other extended family members. He is predeceased by his wife, Iva Lee Davis Groves; his father and mother, John Ernest and Kathleen Selma McGregor Groves; his sisters, Annie “Laura” Rodgers, Nellie “Frances” Curry, and Mary-Helen Cambio; and brothers, Forest Groves, Charlie Groves, John Groves Jr, Robert Groves, Craig Groves, and Wilson Groves.

Anita Valentina Linares Anita Valentina Linares, beloved mother and grandmother, joined the Virgin Mary and the angels in heaven on December 9th, 2021, while in hospice at her son’s home in Haymarket, VA. She was surrounded until the end by those she loved and who in turn loved her very much – her children, her daughter-in-law, her grandchildren, and her adopted family - the Browns. She is also deeply mourned by her family across the world and in Peru, her home country. The fourth child of Pedro Osorio Buendía and Antonina Sermeño Obregon, Anita Valentina was born on July 25, 1944, in the port city of Callao. Don Pedro, who hailed from the coastal town of Pimentel, was a sailor in Peru’s War Navy. Antonina was a homemaker who had immigrated to Lima as a teen from the high-altitude Andean city of Huaraz. Anita was one of eight siblings and was preceded in death by the oldest, Pedro Osorio. She is survived by her other siblings: Norma Luz (Germany), Flora Mercedes (Peru), Roberto Justo (Venezuela), Antonina “Blanca” Felicita (Germany), and Rosa Felicita (Uruguay), and Luis “Lucho” Trinidad (Panama). Anita attended Colegio Bozano (high school) in Callao, where she excelled in academics. She received her B.A in elementary school education in 1969 and became a teacher like her maternal grandmother. Anita began her career teaching indigenous children at a Catholic mission school in a remote rainforest village named Quellouno in Cusco, she later taught elementary school in Puerto Maldonado and Lima. After immigrating to the United States in the early 1980’s Anita still found ways to teach and nurture: she taught Spanish to home-schooled students, taught religious education classes at All Saint’s Church, and taught Spanish to her grandchildren. Throughout the three decades that she lived in Manassas, Anita counselled many young Latina women, whom she met through work, the community, and Church. She would give them practical life advice and donations and would connect them with social services and legal aid. Anita set an example for ethical and compassionate conduct, which has inspired her children and grandchildren. Anita was above all a well-read and intellectually curious woman. She read voraciously and loved reading folktales from the various countries that she visited: Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Panama, Paraguay and Europe. Anita loved nature and would have liked to become a biologist, given the incredible animal diversity she’d admired in her younger years working in remote areas of Peru. It is then no surprise that Anita has a collection of over 800 turtles of various designs, materials, and sizes, which she acquired during her travels, while antiquing, and which she received as birthday and holidays gifts. Most of those who met Anita would say that she was the quintessential “life of the party.” Her energy lit up the room. She loved to dance salsa and danced it well. In her retirement years, her children and grandchildren would often walk into the kitchen and find Anita making dinner while dancing salsa and singing. Anita will always be remembered as a loving, devoted, yet firm mother and a vivacious, lively, and nurturing grandmother. She is survived by her three adult children: Hugo Gregorio Linares (Hope), Vilma Belinda Linares, Juan Carlos Linares, who credit their professional achievements to her dedication and support. She’s also survived by her grandchildren: Audreyanna Noel Linares, Morgan Jean Mittelman-Linares (Gary), Gregorio Viracocha Linares, Paola Victoria Linares. Services will be held on Thursday, December 16th, 2021, at Pierce Funeral Home from 7-9pm, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, VA, 20110. The funeral mass will be held on Friday, December 17th, 2021, at noon, All Saints Catholic Church, 9300 Stonewall Road, Manassas, VA, 20110. A reception at Pierce Funeral Home will follow directly after mass. Memorial contributions in Anita’s honor may be made to Catholic Charities, whose mission “to provide service to people in need” perfectly reflect the fierce and incredibly loving human being who graced us with her presence: Anita V. Linares.

Simple and Complex Estates TRADITIONAL CASKETS Selecting a casket is a very personal decision because it is a reflection of your loved one. Sometimes, only a traditional casket will do. Standard features of traditional caskets include half or full couch, which refers to the casket’s lid coming in one or two pieces. The lining is generally made out of polyester, satin, or velvet, and the exterior features consist of handles and ornamentation. Traditional caskets are one of the most expensive funeral purchases, with the average casket costing between $2,000-$5,000. Caskets are made of either wood or metal. Wooden caskets are made of various wood including walnut, mahogany, cherry, oak, pine and poplar. Metal caskets are made of bronze, copper, stainless-steel and 18 or 20 Gauge Steel. When a death occurs, your primary responsibility is to yourself and the ones you love. There are a number of things that require attention simultaneously.
