New Baltimore puppy retailer seeks zoning permit renewal, but faces opposition

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

On Thursday, the Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals will consider whether to renew a special permit for a New Baltimore puppy retailer. Cited multiple times for zoning violations since opening less than six months ago, the shop faces opposition from local residents who are concerned the shop perpetuates out-of-state “puppy mills.” Dog retailers may operate legally in Virginia and Fauquier County.

The Puppy Shop, owned by Gainesville resident Angela Jrab, opened its Fauquier location on Dec. 16, 2020. Since then, it has been cited four times by the county for building and zoning violations, including an incident on May 20 where zoning officials found the shop had violated the terms of the special permit granted last August.

In this most recent incident, the citation

alleges the business had more puppies on the premises than allowed by the special permit, prompting the Fauquier County Department of Community Development’s staff report to question Jrab’s willingness to abide by conditions stipulated by the board.

Additionally, the staff report notes Jrab has indicated she has obtained puppies to sell from breeders not licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in violation of Virginia law. (Jrab has not been charged with a crime.)

The application to renew the special permit has garnered opposition from members of the public, with more than three dozen public comments already submitted opposing the application -- and puppy retailers in general -claiming the businesses rely on “puppy mills” where dogs are bred in inhumane conditions.

See ZONING PERMIT, page 13

Board of zoning appeals meets Thursday

The Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals will convene for its regular monthly meeting Thursday, June 3 at 2 p.m. in the first-floor meeting room of the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. One public meeting and two public hearings are on the agenda.

• The board will hear an appeal to the issuance of a grading permit to Wildcat Equestrian Farm. This meeting will be open to the public but members of the public may not speak at the meeting.

• Public hearings, during which members of the public may address the board, will be conducted on an application to renew a special permit for The Puppy Shop in New Baltimore and an application for a special permit to operate a tourist home on Cobbler Valley Lane in Delaplane.

Members of the public may participate in the public hearings in person or remotely at fauquiercounty.gov/BZAVirtualMeeting.

Public comments may also be submitted by email to meredith. meixner@fauquiercounty.gov. The agenda for Thursday’s meeting may be found at agenda.fauquiercounty.gov.

The political world remembers former Sen. John Warner as a warm statesman who treated everyone with respect. (See related story on page 3.) On his passing last week, Fauquier’s horse country remembered him as an equestrian as well.

Warner was well-known and widely respected as a rider, landowner, farmer, foxhunter and racing official. He hunted regularly with the Piedmont Foxhounds; his Atoka Farm at the intersection of Route 50 and Atoka Road was central to the pack’s “south of 50” territory, though he often rode with other area packs.

Former senator John Warner remembered as a ‘towering institution’ of Va. politics, an ‘independent voice’

By Jill Palermo and John Toler Times Staff Writers

John Warner, who represented Virginia in the U.S. Senate for 30 years and was known for his military service, his marriage to actress Elizabeth Taylor and his willingness at times to buck his own Republican Party, is remembered as a “towering institution” in Virginia politics and “an independent voice” who remained active in public affairs well into his tenth decade.

Warner died of heart failure May 26 at his home in Alexandria, surrounded by family, according to multiple news reports. He was 94.

Warner is remembered locally for support of local and state Republican candidates, and the political events he hosted at his Atoka Farm, which were more like friendly get-togethers than rallies.

During the years he lived in Fauquier County, he was a familiar face on the streets of Middleburg and Warrenton, often accompanied by his wife Elizabeth Taylor, to whom he was married from 1976-1982.

He was often the guest speaker at local high school graduation ceremonies.

When The Fauquier Democrat came up for sale in 1974, Warner was one of a group of local people who expressed interest in buying the

newspaper, which was later acquired

by Arthur W. Arundel later that year.

“Virginia, and America, have lost a giant,” Gov. Ralph Northam said in a statement Wednesday morning.

Northam noted Warner’s leadership in the Senate, where he served from 1979 to 2009. Warner also served in the U.S. Navy in World War II and the U.S. Marines in Korea and was appointed Secretary of the Navy under President Richard Nixon.

“John Warner truly was the best of what public service and elected

leadership should be, and his loss leaves a deep void,” Northam wrote.

“Pam and I join the commonwealth in mourning his death. Our prayers for comfort go out to his wife Jeanne, his three children, grandchildren, scores of friends, and all those who loved him.”

Northam said the Virginia flag would be lowered to half-staff over the Virginia Capitol on the day of Warner’s funeral, which has not yet been publicly announced.

Sen. Mark Warner (no relation), who was beaten by the elder Warner

in his 1996 run for Senate, called Warner “a consummate statesman and a public servant” … “who put the country’s needs above his own.”

“I’ve often said since that the right Warner won that race,” Warner said of the 1996 contest. “And one way that I know that is that even though we came from different political parties – even though we ran spirited, albeit respectful, campaigns that year – as soon as the election was called, it was over. And even though John Warner was already a towering institution in Virginia politics, and I was just some young upstart; he allowed me to become his friend. I felt then, as I do today, incredibly privileged.”

In his statement, Warner went on to say that the elder Warner was a great help to him while he was governor and continued to be “an active participant in public affairs” and a role model to elected officials.

“When John retired from the Senate in 2009, he was able to do so with satisfaction at a job well done, and I was blessed to take his place in the Senate. But truthfully, John’s service to our country never ended; he remained an active participant in public affairs,” Warner wrote.

State inaction adds to local governments’ fill dirt woes

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

As contractors widen Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia, they produce tons of excess dirt. So do excavators digging basements for homes or leveling land for commercial projects or schools. Some of that dirt – no one knows how much – ends up on Fauquier County properties.

Some county officials think it is way too much.

“Fauquier County is becoming, if not has already become, the dumping ground for Northern Virginia’s fill dirt. And it’s obviously a huge problem. And it’s affecting people’s lives,” county supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) said at April’s Board of Supervisors meeting, as residents complained of dust, truck noise and water pollution from the dumping. At the same meeting, Supervisor Chris Granger blasted the state for making matters worse.

How much dirt is dumped in Fauquier? It’s impossible to know. The I-66 project alone has generated some 765,000 cubic yards of excess dirt, with 650,000 more cubic yards to be distributed, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation, and Fauquier officials believe a significant portion of that has been dumped in their county. Just one Fauquier landowner estimated he would take in 400,000 cubic yards from an Interstate 395 interchange, 150,000 cubic yards from school construction and 200,000 more from Manassas Regional Airport.

Dirt brokers

Because landfills don’t want the dirt – or charge more than $400 a truckload if do they take it -- contractors scramble to find other recipients. Enter the dirt broker. Brokers work for contractors or truckers, seeking out landowners who will take their dirt. Sources say they pay $25 to $50 a truckload, which can put hundreds of thousands of dollars in the pockets of landowners.

Chris Johnson, a Nokesville excavator who owns K C Johnson & Co., said he used to own 14 dump trucks and is familiar with dirt brokers. “I know a couple guys. That’s all they do is hustle dirt. They find dumps, get permits or, you know, haul in [what’s allowed without a permit], get it graded off and then go to the next site where they can pile material,” he said. Asked how the brokers find sites to take dirt, he said, “Oh, it don’t take long for word to get around who’s got a dump. You almost gotta be in that circle of, I call it, hustling dirt.”

This may all be done legally. Under the latest county law, farmers can bring in dirt to level fields if they obtain a special exception to zoning rules or obtain zoning office approval. Contractors with permits can import dirt for landscaping – Johnson said he worked on a data farm project that needed 90,000 cubic yards. But piling large amounts of construction dirt on farms is now treated as an industrial practice in

Fauquier and requires special permitting. County officials have cited more than 10 landowners in the past three years for piling dirt without a permit, which requires, among other things, plans for erosion and sediment control and stormwater runoff.

For example, in October 2019, the county cited the owner of a farm on Elk Run Road in Catlett for changing the topography of his farm. According to the citation, the landowner told an inspector that he had used 5,000 truckloads of fill to elevate a pasture.

The problem, county officials told him, was that he had filled in a floodplain and a potential wetland. Heather Jenkins, assistance chief for zoning and development, said the owner is now working with an engineering firm to apply for a special exception to manage the dirt in place.

On another farm on nearby Laws Ford Road, a mesa of dirt grew this spring as trucks arrived daily. A zoning office letter to the owners, dated April 15, said officials had traced the fill back to the 83-acre “Freedom I-66” business and data center project near Wellington. The letter said their “property is not permitted to receive fill material as a disposal location regardless of the intended use of the material.” Jenkins said the owner had discussed with the county obtaining a special exception and that, as far as she knew, the dirt importation had stopped.

However, the county has not been able to stop Michael Hawkins.

Hawkins took over what was supposed to be a sod farm in 2018 and has been importing dirt to level his fields ever since. At one point, he filled out paperwork that estimated that he would be importing 932,000 cubic yards of dirt. In an interview, Hawkins estimated he had taken in $400,000 from the dirt disposal over three and a half years. Hawkins insisted his operation is a sod farm, but the county claimed it is a dump and the fight has lasted years. A circuit judge ruled in Hawkins’ favor, and the county is appealing.

State regulation

When Fauquier officials called on the state for help with the Hawkins case, they did not get the support they needed. One agency, Virginia Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services, said the matter was outside its purview. A Department of Environmental Quality official said that under state law what Hawkins was doing was agricultural use and exempt from regulations.

Supervisor Chris Granger (Center District) says the so-called “ag exemption” has long posed a prob-

The intersection of Interstate 66 and Va. Route 123 is one of many projects generating tons of fill dirt. lem for county enforcement officials; state law exempts agriculture from stormwater and erosion control rules.

“It’s the ag exemption that has been the trip-up,” he said. “And the folks in Richmond will always say, well, you can control it through local zoning.”

Granger and others argue that the state could do a much better job of policing where dirt is dumped – especially from its own road projects.

Last month, the county passed a newer and tougher zoning ordinance to try to overcome the ag exemption; at the meeting Granger accused VDOT and the DEQ of “turning a blind eye” to the problem. “I would say to VDOT and their partners at DEQ, you brought this to our door, and we’re having to take action against it.”

Tom Faha, director of DEQ’s northern regional office, said the general assembly had delegated fill dirt enforcement to the localities, and that the DEQ just plays an oversight role. He said his authority only encompasses what the law prescribes, and he is strapped with a small enforcement staff.

Faha and county officials agree that when excess dirt is dumped in the same county that issued the project’s construction permits, the county is able to police it. But when dirt is generated in one county and then dumped in another – as happens in major highway projects -- enforcement breaks down.

Highway contractors must obtain a state Construction General Permit, and the application asks for the location of any off-site, dirt-disposal locations. But the state’s guidance has said those declarations only apply to off-site dump sites run by the contractor itself.

Moreover, contractors have said that when they fill out the application it is way too early for them to know where they will be dumping dirt, said Faha. “That’s probably why so many of them don’t fill it out, or just say ‘to be determined’” said Julie Bolthouse, the Fauquier County land use representative at the Piedmont Environmental Council. Also, she and Granger note, the subcontractors who haul and dump the dirt are insulated by several layers from the contractors who fill out the forms.

Last year, the assembly passed

two bills that county officials thought would help. One tightened up the dirt-disposal reporting rules, and now requires permit applicants to declare where they intend to dump excess fill, even if they don’t run the dump site and even if they expect to update the information later.

But Faha said the law only applies to new construction permits approved after Jan. 1, not to ongoing projects. A DEQ website features a spreadsheet that reflects such dirt-disposal reports, but only contains four reports since January, and none in Fauquier. “They did not need to take that loose of an interpretation,” said Bolthouse, who expected that all dirt dumped in Fauquier after Jan. 1 would be reported.

Another bill set up a one-day virtual meeting last Nov. 6 on dirt-dumping. Attended by 57 representatives from 18 counties, state agencies and business associations, the agenda was ambitious: discussion of farmers taking money for dirt; pollution monitoring of dump sites; dust, noise and road damage from dump trucks; and the inadequacy of existing laws were among the issues on the table.

Amy Rogers, Fauquier’s zoning administrator, submitted a letter that said “hauling and disposal is largely unregulated” by construction projects. She also wrote that contractors on state projects “feel they are not subject to local requirements.”

Among the group’s recommendations were tightening up the ag exemption; requiring contractors to get permits for their dump sites; and notifying counties of dirt coming in from outside.

The report was submitted Dec. 1, yet no state laws were passed or changed. That was because the enabling legislation directed that the report be sent to concerned agencies, instead of the state legislature where laws are crafted, Faha said. “If people were hoping for a legislative change, it’s going to take a lot more work to get to that,” he said. “Frankly, we weren’t given any money or time to get it done.”

“I find that just to simply be appalling,” said Bolthouse, who participated in the meeting. “Because it basically means that we all just sat down and wasted our time.”

31st delegate candidates tout endorsements, experience

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

With less than a week until the Virginia Democratic primary, 31st District House candidate Rod Hall is boasting a lengthy list of endorsements from local leaders in a fourway race for the seat currently occupied by Del. Elizabeth Guzman, who is also seeking re-election.

The Democratic primary is Tuesday, June 8. The winner of the 31st District Democratic primary will face Republican Ben Baldwin in the general election this November.

Hall, 44, has received far more local endorsements than any other candidate in the race, including endorsements from two local state senators, two local delegates, two Prince William supervisors, two Prince William school board members, three Dumfries town council members and the mayors of Manassas, Occoquan and Dumfries.

Guzman, 48, also has a lengthy list of endorsers. But only four elected officials of the 24 that have endorsed her represent parts of the 31st District; other endorsements come from regional or national officials or organizations. Guzman said in an interview last week she is more focused on receiving the endorsement of 31st District voters.

“For me, the key people that are going to endorse me are the people of the 31st District,” Guzman said.

The remaining candidates, Idris O’Connor, 25, and Kara Pitek, 38, have a far shorter list of endorsements from elected officials than either Guzman or Hall.

Guzman was first elected to the district in 2017 and was re-elected in 2019. She is among the first Hispanic women to serve in the Virginia General Assembly. In 2020, Guzman announced she was running for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor and would not seek re-election in the House. Several months later, she announced she would run for both seats. In April, she dropped her bid for lieutenant governor.

Democratic primary candidates

Candidate names are listed as they appear on ballots.

Lieutenant governor

• Hala S. Ayala • Elizabeth R. Guzman (withdrew from race) • Mark H. Levine • Andria P. McClellan • Sean A. Perryman • S. “Sam” Rasoul • Xavier JaMar Warren

Attorney general

• Mark R. Herring • Jerrauld C. “Jay” Jones

31st House District

• Elizabeth R. Guzman • R. D. “Rod” Hall • Idris A. Jibowu-O’Connor • Kara A. Pitek Guzman has been at the forefront of progressive policy issues like universal paid sick leave, raising the minimum wage and ending the ban on collective bargaining in Virginia.

Her bills on those issues have been approved by Democrats in the Virginia House of Delegates but met headwinds in the Senate, resulting in her bills being killed or watered down.

“I’m proud that we have a progressive House Democratic Caucus.

But then it gets to the senate, and it gets watered down or killed,” Guzman said. “I couldn’t even get [universal paid sick leave] through in the middle of a pandemic.”

Guzman said she has been an effective legislator for her constituents and is leaning on her four years of experience in the House of Delegates as a major element of her re-election bid.

How to vote in the Democratic primary

Voters will choose the Democratic Party candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and House of Delegates in an open primary election on Tuesday, June 8.

Because Virginia does not register voters by party, any registered voter is eligible to cast a ballot in the primary. The county’s 20 precinct polling places will be open June 8 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Eligible voters must bring an acceptable form of identification with them to cast a ballot.

Alternatively, eligible voters may choose to cast an absentee ballot. Under a law passed by the state legislature before the pandemic, eligible voters no longer need an “excuse” to cast an absentee ballot.

The absentee voting period for the Democratic primary began April 23 and will continue through Saturday, June 5. Registered voters who wish to cast an absentee ballot between now and primary Election Day may do so in person at the Fauquier County Office of the General Registrar located at 528 Waterloo Road, Suite 200, in Warrenton.

President Barack Obama’s and former congressional staffer who now works as public policy advisor at the Washington Office of K&L Gates, focusing on transportation and infrastructure issues. He serves as the chairman of the Virginia Aviation Board and as a board member of the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority.

Hall said in an interview last week he would not have entered the race if he knew Guzman planned to run for re-election in the 31st District.

He added that his lengthy list of local endorsers is likely due to his state and federal policymaking experience and his “laser focus” on the interests of his constituents. “I think the diverse list of endorsers that you see represented behind this campaign understand that and appreciate that,” Hall said.

Hall is campaigning heavily on transportation and infrastructure issues. He is a supporter of increasing investment in mass transit and highspeed rail service, including advocating for the Metro Blue Line to extend into Prince William County, which has among the highest levels of traffic congestion in Virginia.

Hall said his experience in transit, including working on Capitol Hill to get funding for a recent Metro and light rail expansion in Dallas sets him apart from the other candidates in the race.

Hall is also campaigning on creating universal pre-K education in Virginia, expanding collective bargaining rights for teachers and school employees, expanding the state’s workers compensation system for essential workers and preserving Virginia’s recently expanded Medicaid program.

“These are substantive issues that will have a direct impact on constituents of the 31st,” Hall said.

O’Connor is running on a pro-

office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (excluding holidays) and will be open Saturday, June 5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Eligible Fauquier residents who requested an absentee ballot be sent to them by mail may return their completed ballots either by mail or by returning them directly to the registrar’s office through June 5, or to a regular precinct polling place on June 8. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked on or before June 8 and received by June 11 to be counted.

All registered voters in Virginia are eligible to cast a ballot to decide the party’s nominees for statewide office. Additionally, voters who live in the 31st House of Delegates District, which includes portions of Fauquier and Prince William counties, may cast a ballot in the Democratic primary for that seat.

Eligible citizens may register to vote, check their registration status, find their polling place, apply for an absentee ballot and check the status of their absentee ballot at vote.elections.virginia.gov. Specific questions from Fauquier County residents should be

O’Connor is also proposing a “Housing First Plan” for Virginia to address the commonwealth’s affordable housing issues. The plan includes increasing the number of affordable units available throughout Virginia, providing additional funding for the First Time Home Buyers Program, increasing funding for Virginia’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund and enacting a statewide “Tenant Bill of Rights” and universal rent control.

O’Connor is the president of the Prince William County Young Democrats, a member of the Prince William County Social Service Advisory Board and the chair of the Cooperative Council of Ministries, a network of churches in Prince William County providing services to the homeless.

Pitek is campaigning on increasing gun control in the commonwealth. Pitek proposes gun licensing in the commonwealth, ensuring that gun owners pass a background check before they purchase a gun.

She is also proposing a three-day waiting period to purchase a firearm.

Pitek, who serves on the board of Casa BruMar Foundation, is also running on boosting protections for LGBTQ Virginians, including increased mental health, social and homeless services and prioritizing equity in Virginia schools to ensure no one is “bullied or discriminated against because of who they are.”

If not already registered to vote, an individual must have registered by by Monday, May 17 to be eligible to cast a ballot in the primary; additionally, no changes to a voter’s registration – for instance, their address – may be made after this deadline.

Only U.S. citizens who will be 18 years old or older on Nov. 2, 2021 (the day of this year’s general election) are eligible to vote this year.

Residents may check their registration status at vote.elections.virginia.gov or by calling the registrar’s office at 540-422-8290.

Republican candidates for statewide office were chosen last month at a party-run “unassembled convention,” with delegates screened by local GOP committees casting ballots at about three dozen drive-thru locations around the state. Glenn Youngkin is the Republican nominee for governor, Winsome Sears is on the ticket for lieutenant governor and Jason Miyares will run for attorney general under the GOP banner.

Board of Zoning Appeals will hear arguments in Wildcat Mountain dispute Thursday

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

A dispute over whether a farm road that was granted a county permit was really designed to be a gokart racetrack heads to the Board of Zoning Appeals this week, with arguments coming into sharper focus as new claims emerge.

On one side is Najaf Husain, a Fauquier landowner and semi-professional race car driver, who obtained a permit to build a looping paved farm road on his property. On the other side are several neighbors, who appealed to overturn the permit by claiming that the road was actually being built as a track for miniature Formula-1 racers.

The neighbors had initially presented no evidence to back their claim. But last week they filed affidavits with the BZA stating why they believed that Husain planned to build the miniature racetrack: One said he heard of the plan from a Husain business partner, and the other said she learned of it from a friend of Husain’s former wife. They acknowledged, however, that the information was “circumstantial evidence.”

Shortly afterward, Husain responded to their filing, saying their claims were “rife with speculation and hearsay.” Through a lawyer, he sent a letter to the BZA reiterating his position that the looping paved road he planned for his property was only for farm use, and noted if he used it as a go-kart track, the zoning office could revoke his permit and seek civil penalties and criminal prosecution.

The matter will be heard at the BZA meeting June 3. The parties to the dispute did not respond to requests for comment.

Appealing the permit are members of the Arundel family, which has owned and lived on Wildcat Mountain since 1947. (Peter Arundel is a former owner of the Fauquier Times.) Arguing to keep his permit is Husain, a New Jersey native and software entrepreneur who lives on 250 acres of land once owned by the Arundels. In 2012, he bought the nearby Morningside Training Farm from them as a place for his son, an equestrian, to train, and he serves on the board of the Great Meadow steeplechase course and polo center.

Husain is also an auto racing enthusiast: according to racing websites, he has competed in 40 international races since 2015, with two second places and a third at major tracks such as LeMans, Monza, Sebring and Watkins Glen.

On April 2 Husain was granted a county zoning permit to build what was labeled a “paved access road” to a proposed barn and a “grassed/ dirt” trail. Part of the access road was an oval with interior loops, 20 feet wide. The trail was approved retroactively, since it had already been built and was being used by horses and dirt bikes.

In mid-April a neighbor, Ralph “Bobby” Kirk, noticed construction equipment on Husain’s property and researched the permits. He saw a plan for a paved road that looked suspiciously to him like a racetrack, and shared his information with neighbors.

On April 24, according to an affidavit from Peter Arundel, Arundel had a Zoom conversation with a long-time business partner of Husain who told him that Husain planned to build on his property a track for “shifter-karts,” souped-up go karts that resemble miniature Formula-1 racers. The business partner could not be reached for comment.

Jocelyn Alexander, who is Peter Arundel’s cousin, said in a separate affidavit that she was told by a close friend of Husain’s former wife that the former wife told her “Husain had been planning to build and operate a ‘shifter-kart’ on their property,” and that she told her then-husband that the “neighbors would hate it due to the noise levels it would create.” The former wife and her friend both declined to comment.

On April 29, Alexander filed an appeal with the BZA to revoke Husain’s grading permit, claiming that it was based on “misrepresentations”

by Husain that the road was for “personal and ag[ricultural] use only” when it was, in fact, to be used for miniature Formula-1 type go-karts.

She said she is concerned about noise, possible runoff and pollution and the effect of a track on property values.

In a response to the appeal, the county zoning office said there was no evidence of misrepresentation in the application for the permit; Zoning Administrator Amy Rogers asked the BZA to uphold the permit’s approval. In her filing last week, Alexander said she was not seeking to blame Rogers, as she would not have known of the “circumstantial evidence” that Alexander and Arundel uncovered.

Husain said in a letter to the BZA that the loops in the road were designed so farm equipment and horse trailers could easily be backed into the barn. He said the dirt trail was already being used for riding horses and dirt bikes, that none of this was for commercial use, and that the road was “not for use as a motorized mini ‘Formula 1’ type go-kart” track.

In his earlier letter to the BZA, Husain, citing a Virginia court decision, claimed that Alexander was not an adjoining landowner and not an aggrieved party and therefore had no standing to file the BZA appeal.

Alexander cited the same decision and other law to argue that she did.

Alexander also argued that Husain’s first letter was an “unlawful pleading” and should be dropped from the record. Husain countered with legal arguments to argue that it was legal and valid. Alexander also argued that the BZA should compel witnesses called by her to testify.

The BZA has said it will decide on those items at its meeting.

Led by Pastor L.A. Montgomery, the community choir assembled each year for the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. performed during Monday’s event.

As Sheriff Bob Mosier looks on from a front-row pew, Pastor Tyrone Green, the lead pastor at Hearts Delight Baptist Church in Catlett and a chaplain with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, holds up a piece of paper reading “we shall overcome.”

Churches unite for annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. The annual religious service to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. was held Monday at Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Warrenton. Now in its 32nd year, the celebration is usually held on the January federal holiday honoring King but was delayed this year because of concerns around the pandemic.

“COVID thought it had the victory. Amen?”

Mount Zion Pastor Keith McCullough told the small crowd gathered in the church (attendance was restricted due to public health protocols) and those watching the livestream online. “But just like oppression couldn’t keep the Rev. King down, a pandemic can’t keep us down.”

The keynote speaker, Pastor Tyrone Green of Hearts Delight Baptist Church in Catlett, and oth-

ers focused on Christianity’s role in “pursuing unity daily,” the event’s theme. “We are Christians,” preached Green to applause and shouts of “amen!” “We are not Black or white. There is no color. We are saved by the blood of Christ.”

Green, who also serves as a chaplain with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, told attendees: “I am the great, great grandson of a slave. … And I am a slave. But let me clarify: I am a slave for Jesus Christ.”

As he has for more than three decades, the Rev. L.A. Montgomery of Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Amissville led the community choir assembled annually for the event, performing rousing spirituals like “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and “We Shall Overcome.”

Though only about two dozen people were invited into Mount Zion’s sanctuary as a precaution during the pandemic, those in attendance were clearly uplifted by the music performed by the community choir.

Puppy store seeks permit renewal ZONING PERMIT, from page 1 Puppy retailers in general may operate legally in Virginia, however, and the county code allows them to operate in a commercial district with a special permit. “We believe we have proven ourselves to be a respectful business with healthy, happy puppies available for purchase,” said owner Angela Jrab in her statement of justification submitted to the board ahead of Thursday’s hearing. Jrab also requests the term of the special zoning permit, which is currently required to be renewed each year, to instead be extended to three years.

The shop, now located at 5021 Lee Highway, had been located in Culpeper from 2018 until last year.

Since opening in New Baltimore late last year, the shop has sold nearly 200 puppies, according to Jrab’s statements to the board.

Jrab did not respond to a detailed list of questions sent to both a business and a personal email address last week. When reached by phone Tuesday, Jrab said, “I’m communicating with Fauquier County” and declined to comment further.

The business operates under a dealer’s permit issued Dec. 15, 2020, by the animal control division of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Previously, on Aug. 6, 2020, the board of zoning appeals voted unanimously to approve a one-year special zoning permit for the business with board member John Meadows noting the board could only consider the land-use considerations related to the application. There was one public comment opposing the application, based mainly on opposition to puppy retailers in general.

A week later, on Aug. 13, the Fauquier County Building Inspection Office issued a stop-work order to the business, citing “tenant build out without permits.” A commercial construction permit was eventually issued on Oct. 1 for the work, which included installing ventilation and sound proofing.

The shop opened Dec. 16, 2020.

In the following months, the business was the subject of several warnings and two formal citations for violating zoning laws regarding signs advertising the business.

Beginning Dec. 21, 2020, just five days after the shop opened, “multiple complaints were received of unpermitted and impermissible signs erected on-site and at off-site locations,” notes the community development department’s staff report submitted to the zoning appeals board. “The complaints were found to be valid in all cases.”

“Unpermitted and impermissible signs were erected multiple times after notification in writing was provided to the business owner,” the report adds. Verbal and written warnings were issued to Jrab on several occasions, the report notes. Formal notices of violation were issued to Jrab on April 15 and May 3.

A fourth formal citation was issued in late May because the shop allegedly violated the terms of the special zoning permit approved by the zoning ap-

peals board last year. The terms of the permit states: “At no time shall there be more than twenty-four (24) puppies available for sale from the facility.”

But May 20, county staff visited the shop and found 31 puppies for sale, according to a notice of violation filed May 21. Jrab was ordered to correct the situation but was not fined.

According to the staff report, Jrab justified the additional dogs on the property by claiming the special permit “did not explicitly prohibit additional dogs being kept on the premises” and claimed the seven additional dogs were not for sale. (The special permit says: “There shall be no breeding, grooming, training or boarding of dogs on the property” that are not for sale.)

In Jrab’s statement of justification this month, she asks the board to increase the maximum to 34 dogs for sale at any given time. “Staff does not believe the increase in the number of puppies is justified due to the applicant’s inability to adhere to the previously approved conditions,” the staff report says.

Complaints in Culpeper

Jrab is no stranger to complaints.

“As you may know, puppy stores in general are a target for many complaints,” said Culpeper County Deputy Animal Control Officer Kim Seibert in a letter to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office in March 2020.

When The Puppy Shop was located in Culpeper, Seibert said, her officers responded to multiple complaints about the business, but none were found to warrant criminal charges or the revocation of the shop’s dealer’s license. What issues were identified were promptly corrected, she said.

“They have passed all inspections,” Seibert wrote. “We have had complaints of smell, overcrowding, leaving the doors open while bathing, failure to post breeder information on enclosures. In reference to the smell, it was not overwhelming, and they were installing fan units. In reference to the overcrowded condition, unfounded. Information was given on the necessary paperwork to be posted and the issue was corrected immediately.”

One charge against Jrab for allegedly failing to provide adequate care to animal appears in Culpeper County General District Court records in 2019, but Seibert explained that the investigation quickly found there was no evidence for the complaint and the charge was dropped by prosecutors.

Questions about breeders

As part of this week’s request to renew the business’ special zoning permit, Jrab asks the board to allow her to source dogs from breeders who are not licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for regulating breeders and dealers under the Animal Welfare Act of 1966. “We have several Virginia breeders, not USDA licensed, that we have secured puppies from over the years,” Jrab says in the statement of justification submitted to the board.

‘My ties are to Fauquier County’ FAUQUIER, from page 1 Upperville attorney Mildred F. “Bucky” Slater recalls riding with him regularly at Rappahannock.

“He was a great man,” Slater said Monday, reminiscing about her years in the saddle with Warner, who she said was quite a skilled rider with top-quality horses. “He’d come and hunt with us at Rappahannock Hunt (based at her family’s Thornton Hill Farm in Sperryville) often, and he’d join us on canoe trips on the Thornton River, too. He was quite a good friend. He’ll be missed.”

Slater said Warner often served as a mounted official at the Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point, as well as a patrol judge in the stewards’ stand, at Rappahannock and at the Gold Cup races.

Warner also hunted with the Orange County Hounds, kenneled in The Plains, and served on the club’s Board of Stewards. OCH huntsman, the late Melvin Poe, spoke highly of Warner and his “fox sense” in the hunt field. Warner wrote to Poe, captured in Peter Winants’ “Foxhunting” book, reflecting on his “years of hunt service (serving) as an inspiration to other foxhunters for years to come. I value your friendship greatly.”

Warner was equally well-regarded in the steeplechase world. His horse,

Virginia-bred Annual Meeting, won two runnings of the Virginia Gold Cup – 1969 and 1971 – and is a member of the Virginia Steeplechase Association Hall of Fame. Warner often served as a patrol judge at Gold Cup when it moved from the old Broadview course to Great Meadow in the mid-1980s and handed out the perpetual trophy in the winner’s circle.

“My ties are to Fauquier County,” he once told a Washington Post reporter standing railside at the new racecourse. “Being at (the Virginia Gold Cup) is never a disappointment.”

One time that Warner’s political and equestrian worlds collided was on Virginia Gold Cup Day in 1969.

Secretary of Defense Mel Laird had called an emergency meeting with then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy Warner, and others, at Airlie near Warrenton. The meeting, at the height of the Vietnam conflict, took precedent over Warner attending the races just a few miles away at the old Broadview course located a couple blocks off today’s Warrenton bypass.

Warner later teased that it was a hardship. “That was a hard one,” Warner quipped to a newspaper after his Annual Meeting won his first Gold Cup. It was Warner’s biggest steeplechase win to date.

Former senator John Warner remembered JOHN WARNER, from page 3

“He was always available with a keen ear, sound judgment, good humor and a few words of encouragement and advice. The last time I saw him just a few weeks ago, he was full of questions about the latest in the Senate and in Virginia.”

“I will dearly miss having John’s counsel and wisdom to call upon in the years ahead. But more than that, I will miss his friendship, because I loved him,” Warner added.

“My deepest condolences go out to his children and his entire family, especially his devoted wife of many years, Jeanne.”

“I’m sad to say Virginia lost a giant today,” said U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1st, in a statement calling Warner a “a statesman among statesmen,” who “quickly became a friend and mentor, never hesitant to share his vast knowledge or experience.”

“Most of all, he served as an example of how American and Virginian politics should work with his level-headed, bipartisan approach to the legislative process,” Wittman added. “ … Though he may be gone, his service to our nation must not be forgotten. In a time of such bitter partisan divide, we must continue to look to his example as a servant leader who challenged our commonwealth and nation to grow and change for the better with each passing day.”

Glenn Youngkin, the Republican nominee for Virginia governor, said Warner served “admirably and honorably.”

“With over 45 years of public service, he left an indelible mark on Virginia and made a difference in the lives of generations of Virginians. Throughout his career, he viewed public service as a privilege, and he knew how to disagree without being disagreeable,” Youngkin wrote in a statement.

“A man full of dignity and devotion to Virginia and country, Senator Warner will be dearly missed,” Youngkin added. “God bless the Senator, his wife Jeanne and his family.”

John William Warner was born in Washington on Feb. 18, 1927, the son of John W. Warner, a physician, and Martha Budd Warner. He served in the Navy from 1944 to 1946 and graduated from Washington and Lee University in 1949.

Warner then joined the U.S. Marines and served in Korea. Following his release from active duty he completed his law studies at George Washington University, graduating with a University of Virginia law degree in 1953.

He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Jeanne Vander Myde, and his three children.

U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-11th, said Warner was “a gentleman who maintained civility in his politics in an era of rising intolerance.”

“He was the go-to congressional contact to get things done when I was Fairfax County chairman during the BRAC process and resisted extremist elements in his own party,” Connolly wrote. “He is missed.”

Fauquier Times | June 2, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

School board should reject Rectortown cell tower proposal Many people are not aware that the Fauquier County School Board is considering having a cell tower erected just behind Claude Thompson Elementary School in Rectortown. This will yield payments to the school.

There are many issues here weighing against the project.

I understand that the proposed site is in the Cromwell’s Run Rural Historic District. Also, it will be near a scenic byway, Rectortown Road.

Several residential properties are very close to the proposed tower site. The Environmental Health Trust has research on its website (ehtrust. org) supporting the idea that cell towers reduce the value of nearby real estate.

Lastly, and most importantly, there is considerable scientific evidence that radiation emitted from cell towers can cause serious illness, cancer, etc. (See related research at the Environmental Health Trust.)

The neighbor kids would be closest to the tower and the school kids, not far away.

The telecommunication carriers and tower companies dispute a negative health impact, contending that they comply with all current FCC standards. This may be true. The problem is the FCC standards are very old (from 1996) and apparently do not reflect current science. This issue of whether or not to update the standards is now being litigated in federal court.

Exposure to the school kids and staff every

day and to the nearby neighbors, raises serious questions as to the risk of disease for them.

I understand -- according to some experts in integrative medicine -- that persons with compromised immune systems, Lyme disease, etc., are especially vulnerable to the radiation and may be more susceptible to electromagnetic hypersensitivity, cancer, etc.

In fact, one neighbor suffers from EMH that her doctors say is the result of having lived near a cell tower. She had to retire prematurely and is on disability. She very likely will need to move if this tower is approved.

Punch line: Is it worth taking the risk of hurting the kids and our neighbors for a bit more cash for the school and much more for the tower company?

The telecom carriers lobby strongly to keep the old standards.

What is inconceivable, is that the federal law requires that governing bodies not consider health impact on the community when they award tower permits. Sadly, this may apply to the board of supervisors, which would have the final say on a tower project. But before that, the school board, with a special duty to provide safe facilities for the kids, could reject the tower.

If the school board lawyers are concerned about the possible application of that hideous constraint, the school board can ignore the health issue and cancel the project based on the other

Rich treasures uncovered through reading event I immensely enjoyed collaborating with our local Republican and Democratic committees, The Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center and The Open Book in hosting a community reading event. The selected book, “Love Your Enemies, How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt,” by Arthur Brooks resonated with each person who participated, regardless of political or social perspectives.

All those who joined the book discussions shared their thoughts and feelings in a deeply honest and respectful manner. This event made it abundantly clear that there is an overwhelming desire to improve the current state of public (and private) dialogue.

Here are a few of the treasures we uncovered: • Acknowledging responsibility for our own role in polarization is key to improving the current climate.

• Relationships with family, friends and colleagues must be valued and preserved.

• Curiosity can lead us out of our bubbles and into more understanding of those with different perspectives.

• Respect must replace stereotyping, labeling and demeaning.

These simple yet powerful nuggets can easily be put into practice by anyone, immediately. We encourage each of our community members to consider taking one step toward reducing the culture of contempt. Our small group of collaborators is growing as new and diverse relationships are developing.

Watch for more community events centered around improving dialogue and listening to understand.

SANDRA ROSZEL Executive director, Leadership Fauquier

FAUQUIER, from page 14

ZONING PERMIT, from page 13

Warner served as a Gold Cup racing official as late as 1971.

The beloved senator also used horses to cement his relationship with actress Elizabeth Taylor when the two met on a blind date in 1976. “I think she fell in love with (my) farm, and I guess I came along with the horses,” Warner joked to People magazine about his high-profile marriage to Taylor, who was also an accomplished equestrian. “I thought we would get married, live on the farm, raise horses,” Taylor told Larry King on his show in 2001. “I thought it would be all very sort of farmish and horsey, and I could have animals, and I would go out and brand the cattle.”

This corresponds with similar language on the business’ website from 2019 to at least August 2020, according to archived data captured by the Internet Archive. On Aug. 9, 2020, for instance, the website read: “Our puppies come from USDA licensed breeder, hobby and from local breeders.” This was when the business still operated in Culpeper but three days after the Fauquier zoning board approved the special permit that required “Puppies … be secured only from USDA breeders.”

According to the staff report, the issue is a matter of state law and cannot be decided by a local zoning board. “State code prohibits the dealer or commercial dog breeder who is not li-

compelling issues: … diminution of property values, impacted viewsheds, tainting an important historic district and scenic byway, etc.

This is serious business.

The next school board meeting is set for June 14 at 6 p.m. It will be at Fauquier High School.

Folks need to register with the school board clerk for citizen time. This can be done online at the website (fcps1.org) or before 6 p.m. on the sign-up sheet at the meeting. Each person will be given 3 minutes to speak. The phone number for the school board is 540-422-7000.

If you cannot make it to the meeting, you can express your feelings in writing directly to our school representative, Suzanne Sloane (Scott District). Her contact info is: suzanne.sloane@ fcps1.org. Her office number is 540-316-7323.

The only way this is to be blocked is if the community steps up to help our neighbors and lets the school board know the depth and extent of its feelings as to the inappropriateness of this tower in Rectortown.

Yes, there is a need for cell towers for rural service but not from sites where so many community assets are imperiled.

If you would like more information as to the science and the negative experience with other tower projects at schools, the Environmental Health Trust, (EHTrust.org) is a great resource.

HENRY W. LAVINE President, The Friends of Rectortown, Inc.

Gratitude and appreciation from a traveler I wish to extend to my gratitude and appreciation to the Virginia State Trooper who stopped to assist me when I had a flat tire while traveling through the Warrenton area recently from a neighboring state.

I am not sure the expectations these days for highway patrol but suspect that changing a tire, assisting to connect with tire replacement services and supporting safe travel to a service location are a low priority nuisance at best among the many competing duties requiring law enforcement attention.

The officer’s gracious efficiency allowed me to suffer no more than the minimum inconvenience associated with a travel mishap and still salvage the majority of my weekend get-away plans. I appreciate the kindness and sacrifice made.

censed or exempted from licensure by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to sell any dog to a pet shop,” the report says, noting the staff’s formal opposition to Jrab’s request to sell dogs procured from unlicensed breeders.

Jrab lists Preferred Canines, a USDA licensed company registered in Sugarcreek, Ohio, as the store’s broker and delivery company. According to USDA records, Preferred Canines passed routine inspections in 2019, 2020 and 2021 with no issues.

Jrab does not list the names of the breeders where the dogs originate, but says, “We have approximately 45 breeders that we currently draw from. Our breeders are located in Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.”

‘I’VE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD TO BE A FALCON’ After 27 years, Wayne Brizzi steps down as Fauquier High boys basketball coach

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

A dapper figure in the Fauquier High gym for four decades, Wayne Brizzi recently told school administration he is stepping down after 27 years as Falcons’ boys basketball coach.

Brizzi’s tenure is the longest in county history for a basketball coach, and his self-estimated 350 career victories also is a county record.

“You can’t coach forever,” Brizzi laughed when contacted Sunday about the rationale behind his decision.

“I think after every season you look at how everything is going and how you feel physically,” Brizzi began. ”You think about where you stand and whether you want to continue to deal with (the job) and keep doing what you have done in the past.

“It was a little of this and a little of that. Things were pointing that direction,” Brizzi said. “It was a tough decision,” he admits, emphasizing there are no health issues and his life in retirement from teaching is going well.

His decision caught almost everyone off guard. Brochures for his annual and highly successful youth basketball camp held in early to mid June had been circulating. That approaching responsibility led him to look at the calendar more closely.

“Things wind down, but once our (youth) camp comes, all of a sudden (the cycle) is gearing up again,” the long-time coach said, citing the two weeks of the youth camp, followed by team camps at the University of Pittsburgh and the Paul Webb camp in Richmond.

There also are summer and fall leagues, preseason conditioning in the fall and innumerable days and evenings of open gyms.

“I also wanted to make the decision to give the administration enough time to search for a replacement,” Brizzi said.

Brizzi, who will soon turn 66, arrived in Fauquier County in 1988 and was an assistant to then-boys basketball coach Allen Creasy.

When Creasy became Fauquier’s athletic director in the summer of 1994, Brizzi took over the basketball

Fauquier boys basketball coach Wayne Brizzi went 6-3 in his final season this winter, ending a legendary 27-year run that began when he took over in 1994. program. He pointed out he began his coaching career at the age of 21 immediately after graduating from college.

“I’ve been coaching and teaching for more than 40 years,” said Brizzi, who usually always wore a coat and tie during games.

“Coach Brizzi has been a class act

throughout his tenure as our basketball coach at Fauquier,” said FHS activities director Mark Ott. “His dedication to the athletes is unparalleled and the time he has spent preparing them not only to play basketball but also to become productive and well rounded young men is next to none.”

Fauquier, Kettle Run boys lacrosse squads set eyes on states

By Billy Marin

Tippett said.

While the Fauquier attack is the headline grabber, the Falcons have also been tight defensively, allowing seven goals a game. The defensive unit of Ian Napolitano, Corey Burke and Ethan Polster has been steller, along with goalie Collin Anderson.

Special to the Times

The Fauquier boys lacrosse team is 7-1 and rolling. How far can they go?

The Falcons began the year with a loss to Class 6 powerhouse Battlefield, then closed the regular season by reeling off a seven-game winning streak by beating James Monroe, Liberty, George Mason, Culpeper, Kettle Run, Eastern View and Handley.

Fauquier’s impressive 19-6 win over Kettle Run on May 20 was the Falcons’ first over the Cougars since 2017 and broke a four-game losing streak against their county rival.

Leading 8-5 at halftime, Fauquier took control in the second half.

“Kettle Run is such a wellcoached team, but our guys were just playing their hearts out. It was a great team win for us and I’m sure we’ll see them again this year,” said FHS coach J.B. Tippett.

Now in first place, there’s optimism in the Fauquier camp. One regular season game remains June 3 at Brentsville. The region tournament begins June 10.

“I think we have a good shot at making the state championship,” said Tippett. “There are some hurdles to go between now and then, but we’ve got a well-built team and we’re playing together really well and we’re poised to make that run.”

Don’t sleep on Kettle Run

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Corey Burke (right) and the Falcons are 7-1 with one regular season game left against Brentsville. Michael Baldwin (left) and the Eagles are 5-3 and also doing well.

Fauquier’s greatest weapon is their speed. Starting in the defense, and through the midfield into the attack, the Falcons work the ball upfield quickly, causing opposition headaches whenever they lose the ball.

Led by a fiery attack consisting of Shane O’Hara, Rielan Pura and

Reece Kuhns, it’s a unit Tippett calls “the best in my time here.”

“In our midfield, J.T. Diehl has been immense. He’s just a machine.

He has saved us from so many situations. Wyatt Croson has similarly been a guy who goes under the radar but pops up when you need him,”

Kettle Run sits at 4-2, with losses to Handley and Fauquier.

When asked if his expectations for a state championship year had changed, Kettle Run coach Bryan Logan said “goals haven’t changed, we want to win a state title. That was our goal heading into the year, and that’s our mentality now.

“You never like losing games, but there are always things you can take out of it and I think those two (losses) helped focus on the little things that we need to do right to be competitive,” Logan said.

In the Cougars’ loss to Fauquier, Nick Fasce, a Washington College commit, broke his collarbone. Two JV players, sophomore Brayden Blocker and freshmen Carson Hawkins have stepped into roles on the varsity squad, but Fasce’s talent is irreplaceable, and the Cougars will have to adjust their sets to account for his absence.

Kettle Run girls soccer hopes to keep kicking into regionals

By Fred Hodge

Final girls soccer standings/bracket

Special to the Times

Kettle Run finished second in the Northwestern District girls soccer standings and is in strong contention to advance to the championship round and clinch a berth in the Region C playoffs. The Cougars went 6-2-1, with Fauquier (2-8) seventh and Liberty (1-8) eighth as the tournament quarterfinals opened Tuesday.

“I feel the girls have always had the capability but just took a couple games to get into the groove,” said Cougars’ coach William Brummett.

“The team has been successful by coming together and playing as ‘one team.’”

The Cougars do not rely on one or two dominant goal scorers, but feature multiple girls threats, and don’t allow a lot of goals. “Our defense has been strong, and up to this point can hold their own against any team, in my opinion,” Brummett said.

The squad’s tie came late in the season against unbeaten James Wood (8-0-2), and that result underscores Brummett’s belief his unit can play LACROSSE, from page 17 Kettle Run’s young players have been some of the team heroes, including freshman goalie Luke Moriarty. “Luke’s been a stud. I’m beyond proud of him, he’s done so well adjusting to this level,” Logan said.

The Cougars’ 12-11 double OT loss to Handley “was a tough, tough loss. In a tight game like COLEMAN, from page 18 the Meet, ODAC Rookie of the Year and South/Southeast Region Division III Female Track Athlete of the Year.

Coleman knew those numerius awards would mean little when she arrived in Greensboro for the national meet. “I was extremely nervous for the trials,” said Coleman, who BRIZZI, from page 17 “He has inspired both male and female athletes to enjoy and excel at the game he has so much passion for. Not only has Wayne been there for the student athletes but he has also molded and mentored many coaches along his journey. He will be missed at FHS and it will be difficult to fill his shoes with a replacement,” said Ott. Brizzi’s teams were always welldrilled and moved the ball with precision, often working to set up an open 3-pointer or layup. Among his top players were Duane Gilliam, who played at American University, and Jerrelle Benimon, who starred at Towson and briefly played in the NBA. Brizzi retired two years ago from his teaching position at Taylor Middle School. Wife Paulie retired last year from the Loudoun County school system. He said total retirement will allow time to visit his native Pittsburgh more frequently and make other travel plans.

He also will be able to spend more time with their two children. Ben, 30, is a computer programmer in Northern Virginia, while Brianna, 26, works at Fauquier Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, but will be returning to school this fall

with anyone in the league.

The primary goal is to win Tuesday’s quarterfinal against Liberty and Thursday’s semifinal versus either Sherando or Handley. Those two wins would send Kettle Run into the June 8 title fray, with both squads advancing to regional semifinal play.

“We just need to keep playing the way we have been, and we will be successful,” Brummett said. that you have to do the small things right and that’s what we need to work on,” Logan said.

Fauquier sprinted past Kettle Run 17-6, breaking open a tight game.

“It really was a winnable game for us, it was close till the fourth quarter which was when it got out of hand,” Logan said.

The Cougars host Culpeper Thursday and visit George Mason Saturday to close the regular season.

was the third seed in the 100 and sixth in the 200.

“I knew I had to work my way out of prelims. They only took top two from each heat then the next best two times,” she continued. “So I kept telling myself I had to be top two for a secure spot in the finals.

Coleman won her 100 heat with a personal-best time of 11.79 seconds and took second in the 200 for more advanced medical training.

Brizzi said he will carry many fond memories, small and large.

“First of all, I feel lucky and fortunate to be a Falcon,” he said, pointing out he had “great” relationships with the three principals and other administrators with whom he worked.

“And all the young people I met.

That was very important to me. It was fun to be able to be a part of all of that.”

Other highlights included seeing players mature and exciting victories. Many of those successes led to multiple district championships, regional play, a trip to the state tournament, a 19-game winning streak, multiple titles in the old Fauquier Democrat Holiday Classic.

“That was a community thing. It was a lot of fun to be able to do that,” Brizzi said of the Christmas break event.

Those memories mean his bond with the athletic department will remain strong.

“Heck yeah. As I said, I’ve always been proud to be a Falcon, so I’m definitely going to support them,” he said firmly.

“I will miss coaching and the players, no question,” Brizzi concluded.

“But it was the right decision.”

Schoodic makes the most of a mistake by ‘Mystic’ to win the 96th Virginia Gold Cup Trainer Jack Fisher gets 13th career win in the Great Meadow classic

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

Hadden Frost had just one mount at the May 29 Virginia Gold Cup. He made the most of his single riding assignment, winning the 96th running of the commonwealth signature and delivering a 13th career victory in the four-mile classic to trainer Jack Fisher.

Dolly Fisher’s Schoodic powered up the Great Meadow homestretch to win the $50,000 Gold Cup by nearly 6 lengths over Tomgarrow (Gerard Galligan up). Flaming Sword (McLane Hendriks) was third.

Nine went to post at the racecourse near The Plains in what was gauged as the most competitive field in years. Though there was no pari-mutuel betting this year due to the pandemic, honorary favorite status was given to Upland Partners’ Mystic Strike (Tom Garner), two-time stakes winner this season and a fourmile specialist with two prior Pennsylvania Hunt Cup victories.

Renegade River (Barry Foley), winner of the maiden at My Lady’s Manor and the Willowdale stake, controlled the pace from the start, taking the lead over the first of 23 fences as the tightly bunched group

Journeyman jockey Barry Foley was pleased with a perfectly timed stretch drive that delivered hurdle victory to Yankee Doodle Boy.

Dolly Fisher’s Schoodic, jumping at right, powers to the lead over the last jump in the four-mile Virginia Gold Cup. It’s the third time the 11-year-old veteran has won at Great Meadow -- he won the 2019 International Gold Cup and the hurdle stake in 2017.

raced around the South Rail bend.

Royal Ruse (Skylar McKenna) and Schoodic were well-positioned just inside the leader, and it was exactly where Fisher said he wanted Schoodic in the early running. Fisher later said it would put Schoodic in a position to handle what he expected to be a stout challenge from Mystic River.

But, exiting the turn, strategy changed in a single stride.

Mystic River took a misstep and jostled Garner out of the tack.

“He just stumbled after the first bend, and I fell off,” Garner said. “I totally shouldn’t (have) fallen off, but you can’t change that now.”

Frost, who was ahead of the incident when it happened, saw Mystic River running free as the group entered the backstretch. He knows from

experience about unexpected dismounts: He and Schoodic slipped and fell on a turn at My Lady’s Manor in mid-April, when they were favored to win that Maryland timber stake.

Now, the complexion of the race was different.

“To beat horses as good as (these) today, you need the right horse underneath you and the team behind you,” he said.

As the riderless Mystic River weaved in and out of the remaining runners, with Renegade River still jumping on the lead, Frost was happy with his position. Renegade River had prevailed by a neck in the 3 ½ mile Willowdale timber stake three weeks ago in their other 2021 meeting, but Frost was certain the fourmile distance would favor Schoodic.

PHOTOS BY BETSY BURKE PARKER

At the 3-mile mark, Frost was thinking “that’s a helluva long way, four miles,” but when he “hit the gas and asked (Schoodic) for a response,” the gelding changed gears.

Frost’s timing was spot on: They made the lead on the North Rail with a quarter-mile to run, extending to almost 6 lengths at the wire.

“I’m very fortunate to be on Jack Fisher’s horses. He knows how to bring a horse up for this effort,” Frost said.

“It’s (especially) great to train for my mom,” added Fisher. He trains out of a farm near his childhood home in Monkton, Maryland. “I’d call Schoodic among the very good timber horses I’ve had, but I won’t compare him to Saluter, not yet.”

GOLD CUP, from page 24

96th running of the Virginia Gold Cup

Fisher trained, and rode, Virginia-bred Saluter to win six Virginia Gold Cups and four national timber titles racing over 10 seasons in the 1990s.

Saluter won $435,000 in purses plus a $100,000 international bonus for winning a race in England.

Schoodic has been nearly as consistent in his 10 seasons, with earnings of $456,000 to date.

The 11-year-old veteran, by Tiznow out of the Hennessy mare Aunt Henny, was winless in five starts on the flat, but was undefeated when swapped to hurdles in the fall of 2013.

Consistency has been his hallmark – Schoodic was freshman titlist at 3, stakes winner at 4, grade 1 placed at 5, graded stakes winner at 6 and 7, grade 1 placed at 8, and won the International Gold Cup at Great Meadow at 9, in 2019 his first season over timber.

The Virginia Gold Cup was his 12th career win in 44 starts.

Current leading trainer and 13-time champion conditioner, Fisher is synonymous with the Gold Cup: he won nine as a rider and, counting Schoodic, 13 as trainer.

Frost, 30, is a native of Devon, England. He grew up in a jump racing family – his grandfather was a trainer, and father Jimmy was a top pro in the 1980s. He won the 1989 English Grand National on Little Polveir, and won two American Breeders’ Cup steeplechases on the English-based Morley Street in 1990 and 1991.

Frost’s younger sister, Bryony, is a top steeplechase jockey in England.

Frost, who first rode on the U.S. ’chase circuit in 2017, is also an international show jumper. He’s had some big racing victories – the International Gold Cup in 2017 and ‘18 (Doc Cebu) and ‘19 (Schoodic), but this was his first Virginia Gold Cup win. He was fourth with stakes record-holder Doc Cebu in 2019. Frost did not ride in America in 2020 since travel from Europe was severely restricted.

Best of the rest

In the co-featured $50,000 grade 3 David Semmes hurdle handicap, Hudson River Farm’s Galway Kid (Bernie Dalton) returned for a second-straight victory at Great Meadow. The Irishbred had won the hurdle handicap at the fall meet six months ago, but he faced a stout test Saturday.

Assigned 144, Galway Kid was rated 12 pounds less than top-weight Bedrock (Gerard Galligan), four less than the highly-regarded Chief Justice (Jamie Bargary), second in last year’s Semmes.

A winner of three of seven lifetime starts, Galway Kid was one of the horses that trainer Keri Brion took over when her longtime boss, Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard, retired earlier this year. Ed Swyer – owner of Hudson River Farm – stuck with her through the change.

“It’s been a whirlwind couple of months,” Brion said.

Galway Kid was rated off the early pace, jumping to the lead over the last and prevailing by a neck over second-placed Gibralfaro (Tom Garner). Bedrock was third.

The winning time – 4:05, was 13 seconds off the stake mark – 3:47, ironically, set in 2017 by Schoodic during his hurdle career.

Tom Garner was the meet’s top rider with three winners – The Mean Queen in the allowance, Perfect Tapatino in the maiden and Makkadangdang

Edwin Lee Powell Edwin Lee Powell, 94, of Winchester, VA passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.

Ed was born in 1927 in Ancon, PCZ (Panama Canal Zone) to the late Newman Minnich Powell and Ruth Wilson Powell. At the age of 6, he played in his first violin recital and continued to play the violin with the Wheeling Symphony. Extremely bright and inquisitive, Ed skipped two grades and enrolled in Ohio University at the age 16 where he studied math and engineering. As soon as he turned 18, he joined the US Navy to serve his country through the end of WWII. He was discharged a year after the war as an Electricians Technician’s Mate 2nd Class.

Ed worked as a contract engineer which took him all over the United States and overseas. Some of the projects he helped plan and supervise included the Pascagoula Mississippi Shipyard, the Sprint Missile Facility in North Dakota, working with the US Army Corps of Engineers to supervise and maintain US Postal Services buildings, canals and military constructions through Watervliet Arsenal in New York, the construction of Eisenhower Hall at West Point and, finally, head of Value Engineering for US Middle Eastern Projects, the position from which he retired in 1994.

Of all the positions he held, he was most proud of his time working with NASA and Werner Von Braun at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama building rocket test stands in the push to get the first man on the moon.

Ed had a wonderful life full of unique experiences that he would happily regale his family and friends with, like the time he was invited by Nat King Cole to sing Mona Lisa with him during a practice session at a nightclub in the Poconos; or the time he got to test drive the first turbo-engine at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and many more. He remembered pretty much everything he ever read and could tell you how almost anything worked. If he did not know something, he would research it and figure it out. His only real vices were ice-cream, donuts, chocolate, coffee, and a lively debate! In addition to his many adventures, he was a member of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Organization, the Winchester Moose Lodge and had been a long-time member of the Winchester/Frederick County Conservation Club.

Ed married his first wife, Norma Luccioni Powell, in 1947 and enjoyed 47 happy years of marriage until her untimely death in 1995. He then married Brenda Lou Edmonson and was blessed with an additional 25 years in a happy marriage.

Ed, Dad, Grandpa, you will be sorely missed.

Ed is preceded in death by his parents, his 1st wife, Norma; son, Evan Powell; brothers: Newman Powell and Wallace Powell; sister: Ruth Krohmer; one grandchild and one great-grandchild.

Surviving with his wife, Brenda, are children, David Powell (Joyce), Steven Powell, Laurie Powell, Susan Braithwaite (Neil), Christopher Powell, and Dawn Michelle Kelly (Robert), along with 9 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren and his sister, Patricia Powell.

Services for Ed will be private.

Harry Maxwell White June 11, 1948 – May 29, 2021; Bealeton, Virginia Harry Maxwell White, 72, went home to the Lord on May 29. He was born to Nadine and Maxwell White on June 11, 1948, in Warrenton, VA. After graduating from high school, Harry met and soon wed the love of his life, Peggy Sue Phillips White. Continuing to follow his second love, music, Harry enjoyed playing nights and weekends in multiple bands. From acoustic to electric, bass to steel guitar (and even a little saxophone and vocals), Harry was a widely accomplished and self-taught musician who passed along both talent and love of music to the next two generations.

Professionally, Harry spent his career in the Central Intelligence Agency in roles ranging from undercover officer to research analyst. He was highly respected, receiving multiple honors; and when asked what he did for the CIA, he would always smile and quietly reply, “I can tell you, but I will have to kill you.” That was one of his favorite lines!

Above all, Harry’s kind, gentle, caring and generous nature characterized him best. He enjoyed the company of family and dear lifelong friends and never passed up an opportunity to just sit and visit.

Harry was preceded in death by his parents and his dear Peggy Sue. Survivors include his son Greg White; son Jeff White and wife Kristel; granddaughter Savannah Dillard and husband Carter; grandson Owen White; granddaughter Emma Kay White; brother Bob White and wife Leslie.

The family extends heartfelt and endless gratitude to Shawn Wampler and his staff at Blue Ridge Christian Home for the tender loving care given to Harry during his long stay there. You are all angels carrying out God’s kingdom work here on earth.

A service to praise God for the life of Harry “Poppaw” White will be held on Thursday, June 3, at 2:00pm, Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Bealeton Pentecostal Church, 11581 Marsh Rd, Bealeton, VA 22712.

Delontae Albert Clark Delontae Albert Clark, known by most as Man, was born February 18, 1978 and passed away suddenly on May 23, 2021.

Man was born in Washington, DC and lived there for most of his childhood years. He developed a strong passion for music and began playing musical instrument in middle school. He moved to Falls Church, Va in 1991, and attended McLean High School where his passion for Go-Go music and talent for singing and playing instruments afforded him the opportunity to play in a variety of local Go-Go bands.

He held various jobs throughout his life and was currently working for Proctor and Gamble, but he continued to play with his band CMB on the weekends. His love for people, sense of humor, infectious smile and laugh drew many people to him, and he was adored by all that met him. He loved playing spades and cracking jokes with anyone around him; he was hilarious.

Man also loved spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed going to the beach with his wife and kids and visiting his home town to see his sandbox buddies. He was an avid supporter of the Dallas Cowboys and he would talk trash whether they won or loss, he was a diehard fan. He would often say that DC stands for Dallas Cowboys.

Man was preceded in death by his mother Rosa Maxine Clark and his grandparents Albert and Rosetta Lewis.

He is survived by his father, Larry D. Joines (wife Theresa Thomas), his wife Tiwana Brooks-Clark, brothers Adonis Cunningham (wife SaCillia), Kelvin Smith, Joseph Little, Alex Joines, Richard Little, Adam Cunningham (wife Jahmilla), sisters Katrice Wingfield Blackette (husband Mario), Sheneka Wilkins, Kita Smith (husband Brandon), and Ashley Cunningham. Four sons Zay Clark, Da-ron Clark, Darius Clark, and Demarion Clark.

Step-children DeAnte Lee, Mia Lee, and DeYana Brooks (Chicky) and grandson Andrea Clark. A niece that was very special to him, Lattawan (NuNu) Wingfield, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins.

FUNERAL INSURANCE Funeral or burial insurance is primarily designed for seniors who want to make sure their families have money to cover funeral costs or pay off a debt when someone passes away. These types of policies are generally referred to as whole life policies that have death benefits. Coverage lasts for the entirety of your life, and when you pass away, your beneficiaries will typically receive a payout just large enough to cover the cost of your funeral. Funeral insurance policies have a shortened underwriting process, with no medical exam required, and you’re guaranteed acceptance. With that comes a more costly policy. But if the goal is to ensure your family has the funds, this option may be right for you.

Funeral insurance is a helpful tool for loved ones paying for a departed family member or friend’s funeral, memorial service, headstone, urn, and other final expenses. It’s usually purchased to cover final arrangements, but can also be used to pay the deceased’s debts, including medical bills, credit card bills, mortgage loans, and personal loans. Please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility to learn more about our services. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.
