Vint Hill water exceeds new PFAS rules By Hunter Savery

Stricter PFAS standards

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

For residents of Vint Hill, the legacy of a long-ago military training site is having lasting environmental effects, and the safety of drinking water has become a growing concern as a particular type of contaminant known as “forever chemicals” are being better understood. Military burn pits may conjure images of toxic smoke in faraway desertscapes, but for decades one served as a training ground for military firefighters in Fauquier County’s Vint Hill. While the Army closed the base in 1997, the firefighting foams used in that burn pit remain trapped in the soil, leaching the toxic chemicals into Vint Hill’s groundwater for decades.

U.S. Department of Defense tests of drinking water wells at Vint Hill have showed contamination from PFAS chemicals for years. Recent tests have measured the harmful chemicals at between 50 and 1,200 parts per trillion. The Environmental Protection Agency has tightened its standards has tightened its standards over the past few years. • 2016 EPA lifetime limit (still used by the U.S. Army): 70 parts per trillion • 2023 proposed EPA lifetime limit: 4 parts per trillion TIMES STAFF PHOTO/HUNTER SAVERY

Once a U.S. Army base, Vint Hill is now home to a mix of residences and businesses. Vint Hill is one of more than 700 former and current military sites where “PFAS” chemicals are presenting major health and environmental risks to local communities. The Army Corps of Engineers continues to tell Fauquier County authorities,

residents and business owners that the levels of PFAS detected in their water supply are no reason for alarm. But experts say the level of PFAS found in the water is cause for concern. In fact, the levels of PFAS chemicals found in Vint Hill—both on and off base— far exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed lifetime exposure of 4 parts

It’s pawpaw season

Act fast if you want to try Virginia’s only native ‘tropical’ fruit

Nonprofit appeals FOIA ruling, cries foul over redacted Amazon site plan

By Cher Muzyk

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The pawpaw is a native fruit that grows on trees in forests right here in Northern Virginia. Foragers and historians have long appreciated this “tropical” fruit that is only available for a few weeks each fall, but foodies have recently taken note because of its unique flavor and limited availability. In our area, pawpaws have been falling from trees for a couple weeks now, a sign that this year’s season is quickly wrapping up. The pawpaw’s native range is from southern Michigan down the East Coast to the panhandle of Florida. The pawpaw tree blooms beautiful dark red flowers in April. The fruit sets in June, and the mature fruits ripen right around now after a long summer growing season. When the fruits reach about three to six inches long, turn a greenish-black color and either fall to the ground or can easily be shaken from the tree, they are ripe and ready to be consumed. Pawpaws aren’t commercially available in

Fauquier High, community mourns loss of longtime principal Staff Reports Fauquier High School and the wider community mourned the loss this week of longtime Fauquier High School Principal Kraig Kelican, whose death was announced Thursday, Sept. 21, about two weeks after he was involved in a multi-vehicle, chain-reaction crash on Interstate 66. He was 62. School division administrators shared the sad news in a letter to families and students Thursday morning. “Kraig spent his entire career supporting the students of Fauquier County Public Schools, and this loss has affected all of us deeply,” Superintendent Major Warner wrote. “He was

a wonderful leader and champion of kids, and the Falcon community was better because of Kraig’s impact and leadership.” “Mr. Kelican was genuine, someone you trusted and who cared about everyone,” tweeted Liberty High School Principal Sam Cox. Fauquier High School will hold a candlelight vigil for Kelican at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at the high school. On Wednesday, Sept. 6, Kelican was one of three people injured in a crash that occurred at 6:40 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of I-66 in Fauquier County, according to Sgt. Brent Cof-

fey, a Virginia State Police spokesman. Kelican was transported to an area hospital via helicopter, while the other two people were taken to a hospital via ambulance. “Three vehicles were stopped due to heavy traffic when a fourth vehicle was unable to stop and rear-ended one of the stopped vehicles, which set off a chain-reaction crash,” Coffey said. Kelican had been principal of Fauquier High School since 2019. Prior to that, he served as the school’s assistant principal since 1997. Kelican started his teaching career at Fauquier High School and Taylor Middle School in 1985.

Kettle Run High School named a national Blue Ribbon School Staff Reports Fauquier County’s Kettle Run High School is among only 10 schools in Virginia recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2023. Kettle Run was one of seven Virginia schools recognized “Exemplary Achievement Gap-Closing Schools” for being among the state’s highest performing schools in closing achievement gaps between a school’s student groups and all students.

If those groups have had lower overall test scores than the school as a whole but improve and reduce the gap, the school can be recognized. “The honorees for our 2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools Award have set a national example for what it means to Raise the Bar in education,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, in a news release. “The leaders, educators and staff at our National Blue Ribbon Schools continually inspire me with their dedication to fostering academic excellence and building positive school cultures that support students of all backgrounds to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.” Across the U.S., 353 schools were named Blue Ribbon Schools this year. Schools are recognized in one of two performance categories based on all students’ scores, student subgroup scores and graduation rates.

The story behind Brian Noyes’ move to sell his bakeries — and his famous red truck By Jill Palermo

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Red Truck Bakery founder and owner Brian Noyes will soon hand over the keys to his operation to longtime friends, Neal and Star Wavra, the owners of Field & Main Restaurant in Marshall. But don’t worry; the cranberry-orange-walnut muffins and Shenandoah apple cakes aren’t going anywhere. The Warvas also get the keys to Noyes’ red, 1954 F100 pickup truck that inspired his bakery’s name. It will be staying put, too. Noyes, 65, bought the red truck from. “Because so many people are asking that, yes, the truck conveys!” Neal Wavra said with a laugh during a recent interview about Noyes’ decision to sell—and his decision to buy— Noyes’ two Red Truck bakeries. “I know!” Noyes added. “So many people are asking that!” Noyes, 65, announced the plan to sell in a Facebook post on Friday, Sept. 22. But at least for the time be-

Noyes recently announced he is selling his bakeries to the Wavras. ing, Noyes is staying put, too. Noyes said he plans to stay on at the bakeries at least through the holiday season, when they typically ship “hundreds of cakes every day,” he said. “Neal is going to need some help. I’ve been doing it for 15 years, and he’s got his own business to run,” Noyes said. “The first few weeks of December … it’s kind of unfathomable if you’re not expecting it. And so, you know, I would feel like I’d made some kind of rude exit if I didn’t, like at least help him understand what’s coming.” If the arrangement seems especially friendly, that’s because Noyes and the Wavra’s (pronounced Wah-vrahs) have been friends for more than a decade. When Noyes began thinking about selling his bakeries, the

Wavras were among the first people he told. As it turned out, they were interested in taking it on. Noyes said he couldn’t think of anyone better to take over where he left off. “I mean, there’s been some food organizations kind of sniffing around over the past couple of years, but they’re nobody we know,” Noyes told the Fauquier Times. “They didn’t know us, and they don’t know our town or our customers.” “And, you know, (I thought) look who’s right across main street from us in Marshall?” he said. “The guy doing the same thing, who’s been here as long as we have and knows the same people. … We have the same sensibilities, and he gets it.” Noyes said he and the Wavras first met back in 2010, when the couple was still heading up the restaurant at the Ashby Inn in Paris, Virginia and decided to have their staff Christmas party at the Red Truck Bakery, which had recently opened in Warrenton. That was about a year after Noyes, a native of Monterey, California, quit his job as the art director for the Washington Post and the Smithsonian Magazine to open his first bakery. Noyes made the decision after spending a few years baking out of his Orlean farmhouse and selling his wares at the Village Green gift shop, also in Orlean. Noyes said he initially bought the red pickup truck to add to the farmhouse’s aesthetic. He found the truck from a dealer online who later told him it belonged to “the Tommy Hilfiger,” the clothes designer, who kept

it on his farm in Connecticut. When he started selling baked goods, he put it use for deliveries. Noyes’ cakes and pies took off when then-New York Times food writer Marian Burros happened to try one of Noyes’ creations at a picnic in Orleans. Afterward, she wrote about the charming rural baker who delivered his cakes and pies in a red pickup truck. Noyes’ website went from about 24 page views to more than 57,000. Soon, he had almost more shipping orders than he could handle. That’s when he decided to look for another location and happened upon an old Esso auto service station near Warrenton’s iconic district courthouse, which he transformed into the bakery.

PFOA and PFAS chemicals, abbreviations for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are man-made and now found across the globe, from pole to pole and in an estimated 45% of public drinking water according to a recent study. The chemical compounds have long been used in everyday items such as nonstick pans and fastfood wrappers. They are virtually indestructible and accumulate in the body for many years, causing maladies from cancer and thyroid disease to immune deficiencies. There is now scientific consensus that even a tiny quantity of PFAS in drinking water could be hazardous. “It’s been found to have adverse effects in every organ system in the body. Which is very concerning,” said Elsie Sunderland, the Fred Kavli Professor of Environmental Chemistry at Harvard University told the Fauquier Times. “The challenge is that not any one individual will see the outcomes but looking at the data you see a whole lot of problems,” said Sunderland. Although most of the military facilities at Vint Hill were shuttered in the late 1990s as part of the Army’s Base Realignment and Closure program, the Department of Defense began testing wells on and around the base in 2016. One part per trillion is the equivalent of a single drop of water in 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. While the EPA’s proposed limit for PFOS and PFOA is 4 parts per trillion, the agency’s 2022 guideline for how much exposure is concerning, known as the Lifetime Health Advisory Level, is much lower — just 0.004 parts per trillion. These health risks of exposure to PFAS and PFOS chemicals are varied. Researchers have linked PFAS exposure to increased likelihood of kidney, ovarian and testicular cancers. One of the most troubling effects is suppression of the immune system, according to Sunderland. Immune toxicity is most pronounced in children and elderly people, impacting their ability to respond to illness and the benefits of vaccination. The chemicals have been found in staggering quantities at current and former military sites across the country. PFAS rarely stays on base though; the toxic chemicals accumulate in the soil and then disperse through the groundwater, entering local waterways and drinking water supplies. A 2018 study by published by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that PFAS contamination was widespread across military bases in the United States. The advocacy group has repeatedly called on the federal government to impose tougher PFAS restrictions. “The federal government must limit the future use of PFAS chem-

‘Adverse effects in every organ system’

About 380 homes and businesses in the shaded area are served by public water from the Buckland Water and Sanitation Assets Corporation, a private contractor that operates wells. Buckland said it has tested the water for PFAS but has not shared results with state officials or the public. The Department of Defense also tests Vint Hill’s water and regularly tells residents it is contaminated by PFAS but meets federal standards. The problem? The standard used by the defense department is outdated.

icals, set an enforceable standard for PFAS contamination in drinking water, mandate reporting of PFAS releases, and provide support to clean up contaminated sites,” wrote analyst Genna Reed. “Servicemembers, their families and nearby communities deserve better.”

What is known about the water at Vint Hill?

As recently as July, the Army Corps of Engineers told residents, business owners and county officials in a letter that the water in Vint Hill “meets or exceeds all mandated water quality standards and the EPA’s established lifetime health advisory level for PFOA and PFOS.” The Army’s statement is based on EPA’s 2016 standard of 70 parts per trillion. The EPA’s current proposed standard has been revised to 4 parts per trillion. The standards changed based on a better understanding of the risks involved. According to the EPA: “The levels at which negative health effects could occur are much lower than previously understood when EPA issued the 2016 health advisories for PFOA and PFOS.” Some recent tests of Vint Hill wells showed PFAS levels higher than the 2016 standard. A 2018 Army fact sheet shows that 2017 tests of ground water at Vint Hill Farm Station detected PFAS levels that exceeded 70 parts per trillion. The military’s own data also shows “offsite wells” at Vint Hill had PFAS levels around 50 parts per trillion in tests conducted this past February. Tests from onsite wells from 2021 show much higher numbers, as much as 1,300 parts per trillion in groundwater on base. Told of those PFAS levels, Sunderland, the Harvard University specialist, called them “really terrible.” What’s not clear is which of the wells—onsite or offsite—feed into the public drinking water supplied to 381 homes and businesses at Vint Hill.

The Fauquier County Water and Sewer Authority puts out annual reports on water quality in Vint Hill, but PFAS testing isn’t included in the reports. That’s because Fauquier County doesn’t have the ability to test for PFAS and is not yet required to do so, according to water authority Executive Director Ben Shoemaker. The county authority runs nearly all of the public water systems in Fauquier County with a few exceptions. At Vint Hill, drinking water service is contracted out to Buckland Water and Sanitation Assets Corporation. Buckland’s president Deborah Brown told the Fauquier Times that the company contracts with a third party to test the water for PFAS. Brown declined to share testing results with the Fauquier Times citing concerns that the public would misunderstand them. She said Buckland water is meeting the EPA’s 2016 standard of 70 parts per trillion. “We do contract out to an independent company for testing which includes PFAS,” Brown wrote. “Testing is done a minimum of twice a year.” Eleven wells within the vicinity of Vint Hill are tested for PFAS, but the Virginia Department of Health has not seen the results of those tests, according to Dwayne Roadcap, director of department’s Office of Drinking Water. “The Vint Hill waterworks owner planned to sample all of the wells twice per year after 2020 for PFAS but has not shared that data with VDH, if performed,” Roadcap wrote in an email to the Fauquier Times. Four of the tested wells are connected to the public waterworks, Roadcap said. The state health department launched its own PFAS testing program this year, which tested seven waterworks in Fauquier County— though not Vint Hill— and results are expected to be released in October, according to Roadcap. PFAS has been detected in local

surface water as well, indicating that the contamination is spreading outward from the base. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality found PFAS chemicals in both South Run, which flows through Vint Hill Farms Park, and nearby Broad Run. “DoD has been aware that PFAS is toxic, and they’ve been aware of that for a long time,” said Jared Hayes, a senior policy analyst with the nonprofit Enviornmental Working Group, which has tracked contamination on military bases and in public drinking water. Over the years, more was learned about PFAS and just how toxic it is, he said. In 2016, the defense department began testing drinking water at all bases to determine who was exposed and to how much of the chemicals. “And so that’s how we found out that at Vint Hill Farms there are incredibly high levels of PFAS, unfortunately,” Hayes said An Army spokesperson told the Fauquier Times that the Army is now in the “remedial investigation phase” of its cleanup at Vint Hill. The Army has been in different phases of investigation since 2016 and has not yet engaged in any remediation.

Forever chemicals

The name “forever chemicals” refers to the fact that PFAS chemicals do not break down under normal environmental conditions. Once the chemicals are in the soil, they will remain unless they are removed. “Once in the soil, PFAS effectively lasts for centuries, unless you take them away,” said Sunderland. PFAS are “bio-persistent.” Current research shows that it takes more than a decade for one dose of the chemicals to exit the human body. There is no treatment to remove PFAS from the bloodstream. Furthermore, blood tests to detect PFAS in the blood are expensive and rarely covered by insurance. The best solution is to limit exposure in the first place. “This is quite overwhelming to people and shouldn’t have to be their problem,” said Sunderland. While the military has known the firefighting foams were hazardous for many years, it was not until 2020 that Congress forced the defense department to phase out the use of the foams. The 2020 National Defense Authorization Act included language requiring the military to stop buying them by Oct. 1 and to phase them out entirely by Oct. 1, 2024. Defense department officials declined an interview with the Fauquier Times, referring instead to a website detailing its efforts to address PFAS contamination. Vint Hill had an onsite burn pit used to train firefighters, according to defense department documents, which could be a cause of the contamination. Burn pits allowed chemicals to easily enter the soil below, where they have remained for decades. It will take more testing and studies before the impact of PFAS on local health and ecosystems is better understood. In the meantime, the Environmental Working Group maintains a list of filters that can help to reduce exposure. Reach Hunter Savery at hsavery@fauquier.com

While the town has said it was withholding 3,142 emails sought by the citizen’s group under the state’s Freedom of Information Act, it said that “only 13 of the withheld emails are in relation to Amazon.” It also said Amazon is allowed to redact material in its site plan for security reasons and that the practice is not “unprecedented,” as CFFC claimed, but instead “widespread.” But while the town disputed CFFC’s claims, others questioned the town’s claims. Warrenton Town Councilman Bill Semple (Ward 2), who reviewed all the withheld emails, said his notes show at least 22 emails between April 2021 and July 2022 related to Amazon and another 138 related to meetings with Dominion Energy which, at the time, was wrestling with how to route power to the Amazon data site. Ali Zarabi, a 20-year member of the town planning commission who stepped down last year, said, “I’ve never seen it,” when asked if any other developers had ever redacted portions of their site plans. He noted, however, that the Amazon filing is the first in the town for a data center. Still, a review of the publicly-available plans from the two data centers that filed site plans in Fauquier County — OVH Cloud in Vint Hill and Remington Technology Park further to the south — found no redactions. Instead, those plans publicly depict things Amazon redacted for security reasons, such as perimeter fences, lighting plans, its main building and guard shack elevations and site grading plans. “In my 40 years of government service, I have never seen a site plan redacted,” said Bob Lee, the Marshall District representative on the Fauquier County Planning Commission, in an interview. Lee served as Fauquier County administrator from 1990 to 2005, was the administrator of Clarke County for 13 years and held other government posts. Other counties, however, have different practices. In Prince William County, where officials

security, proprietary or other reasons. The task then falls to the records custodian to determine if the redactions are permitted under the state public records law, known as FOIA, she said. “If FOIA says they are exempt, they are allowed. But if they are not covered by FOIA, we say you can’t redact that,” she said. In Warrenton, Amazon requested redactions based on a security exemption under state public records law, and town officials agreed. “Any redactions we make to public documents are carefully considered and legitimate, lawful measures to ensure the security of our customers, employees and facilities,” wrote Amazon spokesman Duncan Neasham in an email. “In this case, the redactions do not interfere with the public’s right to know because the law is specific in naming what kinds of specific information can be exempted.”

Semple: Emails show no ‘smoking guns’

The fight over the emails began in the summer of 2022 when the CFFC filed a FOIA request for communications between town employees, elected officials, then-town manager Brandie Schaeffer and Amazon representatives between April 1, 2021, and July 12, 2022, Schaeffer’s last day on the job. The town withheld 3,142 emails under a section of the FOIA law that exempts from disclosure communications or working papers of a town’s mayor “or” chief executive, who at the time was Schaeffer. The CFFC argued the town could exempt emails from one or the other but not both. In December 2022, CFFC sued the town to obtain the emails. On Feb. 7, Judge Alfred D. Swersky ruled in favor of the town, saying that “or” meant “and.” Town officials later said 13 emails between Schaeffer and town officials referred to Amazon; that 2,633 were withheld under the mayor or chief executive exemption and that 509 were withheld under attorney or personnel exemptions. On Feb. 14, as the town council debated whether to approve a special use permit for the data center at a meeting attended by more than 400 people, nearly all opponents, three council members asked to review the 3,142 emails before the vote. That motion was denied by the four council members who then approved the data center permit. The council members were only allowed to read the emails after the vote was taken. Semple, who has since read them all, said the emails contain no “smoking guns.” “My overall impression is that (the emails) would not have materially affected the Amazon story as we know it. But just as important is the principle showing how non-transparent the town is,” he said.

Appeal, now under seal, supported by media groups

In its appeal of the Feb. 7 ruling, the CFFC was joined by 24 news and transparency organizations, including the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the Virginia Coalition for Open Govern-

room. Star worked the register and helped wait on customers, Noyes recalled. “It was pretty wild because, you know, we pretty much just opened, and they were just thrown into it like all of us were, so we were all kind of learning it together,” Noyes said. The Wavras and their two daughters, Ada, 13, and Fia, 10, were there again to support Noyes when legendary actor and Marshall resident Robert Duvall cut the “rope” to open the bakery in 2016. Duvall doesn’t cut ribbons, Noyes explained, he cuts ropes with his pocketknife. The framed rope, the pocketknife and photos from that day still hang on the wall at the

is under seal as a result of a court ruling, which is being contested by the CFFC. It is expected the appeal asks the court to reverse the judge’s February decision allowing correspondence of both the mayor and the city manager to be withheld. The Reporters Committee, along with the other media organizations, argued in its brief that the FOIA law should be “narrowly construed” when it comes to exempting documents and that only emails that are personal or figure in deliberations should be withheld — not all emails with the mayor’s or town manager’s names on them. The Coalition for Open Government filed a separate supporting brief arguing that FOIA presumes the public will have unobstructed access to every government record unless the government can prove that the information is protected from disclosure. Under these conditions, the scales of the law are weighted in favor of open government, they argued. In the case at hand, the judge allowed town officials to show him a few dozen emails they withheld, and he ruled based on this sample, saying there was no sign the town had chosen to exclude them in bad faith. The Coalition for Open Government argued that the law does not put the burden on the CFFC to prove the town acted in bad faith. Rather, the town must show why each of the 3,142 records should be exempt from FOIA and cannot do so by choosing some samples. The town’s response is due Oct. 2. No hearing date has yet been set. The issue of the redacted site plans is equally sensitive, partly because the town got Amazon to agree to 25 conditions as part of the special use permit. How Amazon would comply with the permit was to be laid out in the site development plans, the latest version of which was filed Aug. 24. For instance, details about how the data center would phase in its cooling equipment to address noise, a key concern of the center’s neighbors was redacted. So, while town reviewers can see the plans, citizens cannot. They also cannot see how the grounds will be lit at night or what the buildings will look like from the side or some of the facility’s landscaping plans. Several citizens complained about these and other redactions at the Sept. 12 town council meeting. They noted that some redacted items were not blacked out in an earlier Amazon’s submission. Council members James Hartman (Ward 4) and Jay Heroux (Ward 5), who voted in favor of the data center, said they would check into it. At-large Councilman Paul Mooney, who voted against it, said the council should check the conditions and make sure that the redactions do hot hide relevant information. “I mean, you can’t have a site development plan come in one month with no redactions … and then when it comes back it has redactions. That’s not transparency,” he said. Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com

Red Truck in Marshall. Noyes also included a photo of Ada and Fia in his latest cookbook, he said. “We’ve had a history that is intertwined,” Wavra said. “And when Brian was interested in looking for a potential way out, it … was more like, this is what I’m thinking. And it sort of organically grew into a conversation where, okay, we could potentially endeavor this and finally got to a point where that happened.” The two also have common roots. Neal Wavra is from Western Springs, Illinois, a Chicago suburb where Noyes grandparents lived and his father grew up. Wavra attended a graduate program in Monterey, Cali-

fornia, where Noyes grew up. For the Wavras, owning both their restaurant and the Red Truck Bakery will allow them to expand their offerings in both places—adding more savory items at the bakery and more sweets at the restaurant—while also creating a bigger table for the local farmers and artisans whose products they incorporate into their menus. “There was a complementarity of our businesses already in that they were centered around this concept of a rural place that’s unique in the world that has a community of people that (we) can serve,” Neal Wavra said.

In support for reelecting incumbent Fauquier County School Board members For almost two years I have been a regular attendee at the monthly Fauquier School Board meeting. It has been quite an education in everything the schools do and in all that the board has to deal with. Their commitment to our students is evident. My respect for the Fauquier citizens who devote their time and skills into the work of the school board is genuine. The election this November will include a school board member in each magisterial district, each for a four-year term. Each candidate runs as an independent regardless of political persuasion. So, it is important to know each candidate’s position on school issues. Check out their websites; make it a point to meet them;

Warrenton residents should support veteran housing

attend any candidate forum. Even if you do not have children in school, you should care that our students get a quality education for your tax dollars. This is a perilous time for public education. We need experienced, committed, nonideological citizens on the school board. I encourage my fellow voters to reelect the current board members. They are: Donna Grove (Cedar Run), Susan Pauling (Center), Stephanie Litter-Reber (Lee), Raymond “Duke” Bland (Marshall) and Clay Campbell (Scott).

I was born in Warrenton on Sept. 8, 1943. I have lived at 38 Frazier Road for the last 45 years. The only appreciable time I spent not in Warrenton was when I served in Vietnam from 1963 to 1965. I am 80 years old, and I enjoy good health. I am fortunate. This community, town and state should be proud to provide safe, affordable housing to the brave men and women who put their lives on the line, suffered horrific injury, defending the values which make the United States a GREAT nation.

Who I’m voting for to keep Fauquier County rural How has Fauquier County maintained its position for the past 60 years as one of Virginia’s most productive agricultural counties in spite of intense pressure from developers and land speculators and with no help from our legislatures in Richmond? The answer lies in Fauquier citizens having paid close attention at election time when five of their fellow citizens, willing to take on the burden of running this county, came up for election. This was not always the case. When I was

growing up, my parents had no idea who their supervisor was, nor did they need to in those uncomplicated days. In 1965, everything changed when Warrentonians woke up to the news that they were about to have 30,000 new neighbors next door at North Wales. Nothing has been the same ever since. Today, three supervisors can change your life from rural to urban. In elections for the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, national party affiliation plays no

part. For the moment, we must forget the Democrats and Republicans and focus our attention on the five candidates most likely to protect our irreplaceable farmland. For what it’s worth, I’m betting on: Mike Focazio for the Marshall District; Ike Broaddus for the Scott District; Rick Gerhardt for the Cedar Run District; Daron Culbertson for the Lee District; and Larry Kovalik for Center District.

HALEY MAKES HISTORY

Fauquier County’s Van Voorhis becomes first woman NCAA football player that’s not a kicker By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

On Saturday, Haley Van Voorhis not only made history, but she turned it into a highlight. Van Voorhis, who lives in The Plains and attended Kettle Run High in 2017, became the first woman to play in an NCAA football game who was not a kicker or punter when she appeared as a safety for Shenandoah University in Saturday’s 48-7 win over Juniata College in Winchester. The junior, who has attended Shenandoah since her freshman year in 2021, was called into the game late in the first quarter. You see a teammate leap in exaltation as Van Voorhis sprints on the field.

blitzes from the right side, racing towards the quarterback and tackling him after he releases the ball. In football language, Van Voorhis was credited with a “quarterback hurry” for pressuring the passer. Voorhis’ appearance has become national news. On Monday, the 5-foot-6, 145-pounder appeared on NBC’s Today Show. “It was an amazing moment because I’ve been working two years,” she said. “That’s a long time to sit on the sideline. I earned every moment of it because you don’t see half the things that go in behind that moment. It was a big moment to crush my own goals and make a statement for the football community and show women can play the game,” she said. Van Voorhis began tackle football in sixth grade and played in a Fauquier County boys league for three years. She attended Kettle Run as a freshman in 2017, playing JV football as a wide receiver/defensive back. She transferred to Christchurch, a boarding school in eastern Virginia, for her sophomore year and shined in basketball, lacrosse and football as a sophomore. She played football again as a junior, but the pandemic canceled Christchurch’s senior year of sports and she completed her high school studies online. See VAN VOORHIS, page 13

KETTLE RUN FOOTBALL BLOWS OUT SKYLINE 56-6

Cougars stay perfect; 4-0 Millbrook is next By Matthew Proctor

KETTLE RUN’S NEXT GAME: Friday at home vs. Millbrook (4-0), 7 p.m.

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

For the third time in the last four seasons, Kettle Run football has opened 4-0. Hosting Skyline in their first Class 3 Northwestern District matchup of the season on Friday, the Cougars rolled to a 56-6 victory behind a record-breaking five touchdown performance from running back Colton Quaker. The 50-point win is Kettle Run’s largest since dismantling Manassas Park 70-0 in 2017. “I thought Friday night we protected the ball well. I thought we were able to establish a run game, and I think, as a whole, we performed really well,” said coach Charlie Porterfield, whose Cougars have beaten Liberty, Handley, James Wood and Skyline by a combined 203-71, and hit 50 or more points in their last three games. “I think we’re feeling good about where we’re at. The last two games, we’ve had some turnover issues early that we’ve had to get ironed out, which is concerning, but I think we’ll be able to get that fixed for this week,” he added. Eliminating those early turnovers is especially crucial this week as the Cougars host Millbrook (4-0) on Friday. While they’re no longer Class 4 district opponents, Porterfield is looking forward to testing his squad against a quality adversary. “They switched offenses last year and have settled into that, and I think they’re running even more stuff out of it this year and seem to be better at it than they were last year. So, I think it’s going to be a great test,” said Porterfield, who’s defeated Millbrook five

Junior running back Colton Quaker scored five times in Kettle Run’s 56-6 victory over Skyline to set a new Cougar record for total touchdowns scored in a single game. times in eight meetings, including playoff victories in 2022 and 2018. Porterfield mentioned Pioneers’ running backs Kyler Jackson and Jonah Mihill, who are both topten in rushing yards in all of Class 4, as key weapons the Cougars must shut down. “We got to be on point. We can’t have any turn-

overs early. We can’t have mistakes on special teams. We have to play good, sound team defense because they’re going to want to establish a run game,” Porterfield said. In their drubbing of Skyline last Friday, tailback Colton Quaker led the way with 162 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries. The junior scored his fifth TD on a fumble return in the third quarter to set a new school record for total touchdowns in a game, topping the four by Sam Rodgers last week against James Wood. Quarterback Jake Mulhern finished 11-of-18 for 159 yards with a touchdown to Rodgers, who hauled in six receptions for 101 yards. Rodgers also returned a punt for a 74-yard TD in the second quarter. “Quaker played lights out, and all the guys up front blocking, I thought our receivers blocked phenomenally on the perimeter and all those guys in the box, the lineman and the fullbacks and tight ends, I thought did a great job of getting bodies on bodies and giving Quaker kind of a two-way go on most runs,” said Porterfield. “Quaker’s able to make special things happen when you get guys covered up and he has the ability to run the ball.” The Cougars led 28-6 at halftime with Skyline’s only points coming on a bad snap on a punt that was recovered in the end zone. They led 49-6 after the third and added a Haydynn Bell rushing touchdown in the fourth for a final score of 56-6.

Double heartbreak for Fauquier football Playing in honor of Mr. Kelican, Falcons lose on game-ending fumble return

FAUQUIER’S NEXT GAME: Friday at Skyline (0-4), 7 p.m.

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

For the Fauquier Falcons, it was a somber end to a football game you had to see to believe. And there was disagreement on what people saw. On the last play of regulation in Friday’s clash at Warren County, Falcon quarterback Ben Noland appeared to be down on a play near midfield as a 28-28 game looked headed for overtime. Several seconds later, Wildcat defensive back Michael Hooper was racing some 50 yards up the right side for the game-winning touchdown as time expired to give Warren County an incredible 34-28 win. “I’m gonna be honest, it happened so fast I looked down on my call sheet and I heard our crowd going crazy behind me. When I looked up our guy is running down the sideline,” said Warren County coach Josh Breeden, whose jubilant squad improved to 1-3 on Homecoming. “It’s one of the craziest endings I’ve ever seen.” Apparently, Hooper grabbed a ball popped away from Noland by another Wildcat. “The call went our way tonight. That was Michael Hooper. I’m going to go try to find him and celebrate with him a little bit. It’s a tribute to the kids. These kids fight hard, they play to the very end and tonight it paid off for them,” Breeden said. Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter thought Noland was down and reflected intense astonishment at the outcome. “Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable,” he repeated. “To have the game come down to a play like that. His knee is down, everyone stopped. Someone said they heard a

Mr. Kelican came to every game. He means so much to everyone. He knew all the players, he was omnipresent. All these guys and the whole school are his kids. It’s tough. He is Fauquier High School literally,” said Buckwalter. Kelican wore No. 24 as a James Wood High athlete, so Fauquier senior co-captain Kobe Link asked sophomore teammate Johnathan Mills if he could wear Mills’ No. 24 as a tribute to Kelican. Kelican’s wife and daughter spoke to the team Friday. “He comes from a huge sports family,” added Buckwalter, noting that brother Kris Kelican is the athletic director at Loudoun Valley and James Wood’s stadium is named

after father Jerry Kelican, a highly successful former James Wood football coach and athletic director. On Friday, Buckwalter’s team fought back from multiple deficits and seemed on the verge of an uplifting victory after linebacker Clayton Harris picked off a pass in the right flat and raced 55 yards for a touchdown to give the Falcons a 28-21 lead with 3:28 after Alejandro Covarrubias’ extra point. But Warren County tied it on an 85-yard pass from Landon Shell to Suleman Zewar on the next series, making it 28-28 with 3:04 left. Fauquier looked strong early, building a 6-0 lead on Carter Halsey’s 21-yard sweep around the left side for a late first quarter TD. The Falcons looked primed to score on their next drive, but the Wildcats stiffened and soon took a 7-6 lead on Shell’s 33yard TD pass to William Bergmann. Fauquier wasted a prime chance to score before halftime, reaching the Warren County 4-yard line but three failed runs in the last 40 sec-

onds kept the Falcons off the scoreboard as time expired. Warren County’s Gavin Dodson ripped off a 74-yard TD run for a 14-6 lead with 8:43 left in the third. Fauquier responded with a huge play from Chase Leazer, who roared in from the right side to block a punt and recover it himself at the WC 1-yard line. On the next play, Sal Sorrentino took a direct snap and scored over center. The Falcons then executed a 2-point conversion as Amari Martin took a pitch, rolled to his right and threw to Jacob Curtis in the back of the end zone, tying the game at 1414 with 5:33 left in the third. Warren County regained the lead at 21-14 on Dodson’s speedy effort around the right side as he reached the pylon on an 8-yard score with 10:39 left in the fourth quarter. Fauquier then scored the next two TDs of the game to seemingly be in charge. First, Aaron Lewis completed a 44-yard drive with a 6-yard TD run around the left side to make it 21-21 with 5:56 after freshman Covarrubias’ extra point kick. Then Harris, a 220-pound junior linebacker and offensive guard, made a play that had the FHS stands cheering in ecstasy as he picked off a short Warren County pass on fourth down and showed the speed to race into the end zone for a 28-21 lead with 3:28 left after Covarrubias’ kick. But the Falcons saw the Wildcats come back in stunning fashion with the game’s last 13 points on an 85yard TD bomb and the shocking final play of regulation. “All you can do is work to fix whatever ails you and get ready for the next one. It doesn’t do any good to dwell on it. You have to bring out your competitive spirit and get after it,” Buckwalter said.

Kettle Run field hockey edges Liberty to emerge as district challenger By Matthew Proctor

Behind goals from sophomores Maggie Gardner (pictured) and Kelsey Johannesen, Kettle Run beat Liberty 2-0 on Sept. 19 to improve to 4-5 and third place in the Northwestern District at 2-2.

After an 0-3 start to the season, Kettle Run field hockey has flipped a switch and played their way into Northwestern District contention. Led by goals from sophomores Kelsey Johannesen and Maggie Gardner, the Cougars defeated Liberty 2-0 in their most recent game on Sept. 19 to improve to 4-5 overall and 2-2 in the district. The win marked Kettle Run’s fourth in their last six games. After being outscored 14-0 through their first three games, the Cougars have outscored opponents 17-3 during this stretch. “We have moved some players around to find their strengths and that has helped in the defensive zone. The lineup adjustments added strength to the attack line and midfield,” head coach Julie Kuhlberg said. Kettle Run shutout Class 5 Briar Woods 6-0 on Aug. 30 and Class 6 Osbourn Park 5-0 on Aug. 31 before taking one-point losses to Class 6 Colgan and Paul VI, a VISAA Division I private school in Chantilly. They picked up 2-0 district wins over Brentsville on Sept. 11 and Liberty on Sept. 19 in their last two outings.

The Cougars edged by Brentsville behind goals from senior Ada Linebaugh and sophomore Maggie Crosland. Linebaugh also tallied assists on both goals in their win over Liberty. “Moving Ada Linebaugh to attack has helped get us more shots on goal,” Kuhlberg said. “Both Maggie Gardner (Midfield) and Maggie Crosland (Attack) are powerhouses on the field. Jane Crosland is my center back and really helps out guiding inside the 50.” At 2-2 in the district, Kettle Run sits in third place behind Meridian (9-0, 3-0) and Fauquier (72, 3-1) and ahead of Liberty (2-7, 1-2) and Brentsville (5-4, 0-4). Playing four district matches in their five remaining games, everything is still on the table for the Cougars. Hosting Meridian on Tuesday and traveling to Fauquier on Thursday, Kettle Run has the opportunity to help themselves out and improve their standing with wins in crucial district matchups. “If we play and give 110% on the field, I am a happy coach. We will look at the lineup after the Meridian (game) and move players if we need to,” said Kuhlberg.

LIBERTY FOOTBALL LOSES TO SHERANDO 35-0

Explosive Eagles shut out in Stephens City

By Matthew Proctor

LIBERTY’S NEXT GAME: Friday at Brentsville (4-1), 7 p.m.

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Liberty entered Friday’s season opening Northwestern District contest at Sherando looking like an early district contender. Instead, it’s Sherando (3-2, 1-0 district) that’s riding high. The Warriors outschemed, outplayed and shut down Liberty’s explosive offense in a decisive 35-0 win in Stephens City, ending the Eagles’ three-game winning streak. “We’ve been humbled. That’s a very good team,” said Liberty coach Kevin Odlum. “You know what, it’s a part of the game. So, our kids will deal with it, and they’ll get better because it.” Liberty came in averaging over 40 points a game and surrendering less than 10, so the result was surprising. Sherando coach T.J. Rohrbaugh said the plan was to limit the Eagles’ running game. Grabbing a 21-0 first half lead helped the Warriors roar to victory in Arrowhead Stadium “Liberty’s quarterback Austin Mawyer, he’s a phenomenal football player,” said Rohrbaugh. “They got great receivers. But even with that, we want to put emphasis on stopping the run, make them go to the air.” The Warriors’ defense held the

Mawyer completed 12-of-25 passes for 223 yards with two interceptions and was sacked six times. “I thought the biggest key was we

were able to get pressure on their quarterback,” Rohrbaugh said. “They had some really good techniques on the outside, and it really wasn’t the (defensive) line as much as the linebackers blitzing us in the middle. So, we made some adjustments later on, but we just weren’t able to handle that,” Odlum said. Sherando ran well to open the game, then connected on two long passing touchdowns to build the early lead. The Warriors rushed for 139 yards with quarterback Micah Carlson finishing 13-of-16 for 257 yards and four TDs. After two Liberty punts and a Sherando turnover on downs, the Warriors opened the scoring on their second drive by marching 67 yards on 10 plays with Benjamin Smith scoring on a 10-yard reception. Smith also converted all five extra points. Liberty’s only trip into the red zone came following a 47-yard, one-handed catch up the right sideline by Andrew Ryman, but a failed fourth-and-one conversion kept the Eagles off the board. Three plays later, Sherando’s Brady Hamilton caught a screen

pass, made one defender miss then sprinted up the middle of the field for a 63-yard score and a 14-0 lead at the start of the second quarter. Sherando scored on another long pass on their next drive to lead 21-0. Tucker LaFever got open deep as the cornerback bit on Carlson’s pump fake on the double move with LaFever catching the pass in stride for a 72-yard TD. The Warriors intercepted Mawyer twice in the final minutes to keep the three-score lead going into halftime. Carlson threw his fourth touchdown of the game on the opening drive of the second half to extend the lead to 28-0. The lead grew to 35-0 as the Warriors recovered a high snap that rolled into the end zone on a punt with seven minutes left in the third. With Sherando ahead by 35, the remainder of the game was played with a running clock to finish less than two hours after the opening kickoff. Liberty now tries to end a twogame losing streak to Class 3 Brentsville (4-1). The Tigers downed the Eagles 40-28 last year and 39-13 in 2021.

Kettle Run, Fauquier volleyball teams keep on rolling By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Helped by huge contributions from three sophomores and the return of senior co-captain Ashley Wise from concussion protocol, the Kettle Run High volleyball team notched two more district wins last week. The Cougars downed Brentsville 25-10, 25-14, 25-13 and Meridian 15-25, 25-21, 25-15, 25-13, stretching their winning streak to six. The winning streak ended Monday in a loss to Warren County (10-2), dropping the Cougars to 8-2. Wise returned to the lineup last week after missing at least four matches and contributed 10 kills against Meridian. Coach Rod Crooks was pleased to see so many on his roster excel. “(Junior) Olivia Busby filling in was a great effort along with Ashley Wise returning to the lineup was big against Meridian,”

the second-year coach said. Also turning heads was sophomore outside hitter Kyla Jones with 14 kills. “Kyla Jones was impressive,” Crooks said. Two other sophomores – defensive specialists Iris Trask and Kendall May – were singled out for their hard work, especially after Meridian won the first set. “Iris and Kendall stepped up and dug out everything Meridian was hitting at them,” said assistant coach Melissa Balgavy. In the sweep of Brentsville, Gracie Chumley logged 11 kills with Mia Jones and Alexis Emmell recording 18 and 12 assists, respectively. Olivia Busby and Tori Chamberlain dominated Brentsville with their serving, with Chamberlain going 15 for 18 and Busby 18 for 19. The Cougars are in the midst of their toughest week of the season with three challenging home matches in four days. Besides Monday’s match

Fauquier improves to 7-3

Fauquier went 2-1 in its matches last week, sweeping Brentsville and Liberty and falling to Warren County. The Falcons are a solid 6-3 with 11 regular season matches left. Coach Kiki Scott says outside hitter Leah Kelso, senior middle blocker Audrey Hall and senior setter Marcela Lawhorn have been rock solid. “We have been focusing on improving offense through setter-hitter connections, using all our hitters and being aggressive at the net with blocking and attacking with every play,” said the first-year coach. “Serving has been a strong point with multiple consistent servers who frequently rack up many points from behind the back line,” Scott said.

speed and strength. To push myself past where I thought I could go has helped me a lot. To show this can be done,” she said on the Today Show. “To crush my own moment and make a statement...I’m not born like the guys and have that speed, that strength. Everything I’ve had to work for to find my speed and find my edge.” Shenandoah coaches said inserting Van Voorhis was not planned in advance. “The coaches called her name and she went in,” said Shenandoah athletics communications director Matt Milich. “It’s not every day a female gets to play college football. The sideline was going crazy,” Van Voorhis said.

Majoring in business, Van Voorhis is enjoying her college experience. The Hornets are 2-1 with eight regular season games left. It’s an awesome team. I love it. I love my teammates. Shenandoah is an awesome team. There’s no better place I could call home. These guys are people I look up to. They’ve always helped coach me and make me a better player, and I’m so glad I’m able to be with this group because we’re about to do something special this year,” she said. Shelby Osborne became the first female non-kicker to play for an NAIA program in 2014 as a defensive back for Campbellsville University and appeared in one game in 2018, according to ESPN.

Things are looking up in the greater Piedmont By Scott MacDonald RE/MAX Gateway

Virginia’s greater Piedmont real estate market is experiencing positive trends. The region has seen steady growth in property values and increasing demand for housing. Here are a few key factors to consider: Strong demand: The greater Piedmont offers a desirable mix of rural charm and proximity to urban areas such as Northern Virginia, Charlottesville and Richmond. This has led to increased demand for housing from both local residents and those seeking a more relaxed rural lifestyle. Limited supply: While demand is high, the supply of homes for sale in the greater Piedmont can be limited, particularly in certain desirable neighborhoods. This has contributed to rising home prices and a competitive market. We expect this trend to continue, which is great for homeowners and a reason for people to buy today. Rising prices: Due to high demand and limited

supply, home prices have been steadily increasing over the past few years. This can be advantageous for sellers but may pose challenges for buyers looking for affordable housing options. Good investment opportunities: The strong growth in property values makes the region an attractive location for real estate investors. Its popularity among tourists and proximity to natural attractions make it a potential hotspot for vacation rentals and other income-generating properties. Stable market outlook: Overall, the area’s real estate market has shown stability and resilience, even during economic downturns. The region’s natural beauty, strong sense of community and growing job opportunities contribute to its positive market outlook. It’s important to note that real estate markets can vary within different areas of the greater Piedmont, so it’s recommended to consult with a local real estate agent or research specific neighborhoods to get a more accurate and detailed understanding of the current market conditions.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of Virginia’s policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Commonwealth. We encourage and support advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, age, familial status, or national origin. All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Virginia and federal fair housing laws, which make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or elderliness, or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.” This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis. For more information or to file a housing complaint, call the Virginia Fair Housing office at 804-367-8530 or toll-free at 888-551-3247. For the hearing impaired, call 804-367-9753.

It’s pawpaw season PAWPAWS, from page 1 The wooded areas at the Clifton Institute in Warrenton, a 900-acre preserve that is permanently protected under a conservation easement, are awash in pawpaw fruit right now, which Harris says are enjoyed by bears, deer, squirrels, opossum and raccoons. Attendees at the pawpaw party picked and sampled pawpaw fruit which most said tasted sweet and similar to a slightly tangy banana. The flesh is edible, but the skin and seeds are not, Harris said. Even those who didn’t immediately love the intense flavor of the fruit itself devoured “pawpaw” quick bread that Harris baked herself. She said pawpaw bread is easy to make, just replace the banana in your favorite banana bread recipe with pawpaw for a sweeter, moister version. Harris told the crowd that pawpaws are the largest fruit native to North America and have a rich history including being a staple for Native Americans. She also said that Lewis and Clark wrote that on their way back East after their famous trip, they ran out of food and “had to subsist on pawpaw for a week, which they said they really enjoyed.” Sal Russo, general manager of Giuseppe’s Italian Ristaurante in Haymarket, says the pawpaw has a tropical flavor he compares to “a cherimoya, soursop, guanabana mix.”

TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/CHER MUZYK

Left: Ripe pawpaws turn greenish-black in color and either fall to the ground or can be shaken easily from a tree. Right: Leaves on pawpaw trees are unusual because they are narrower where they meet the branch and when crushed the leaves smell like a combination of bell pepper and gasoline. “For those who haven’t experienced those fruit flavors, it’s more like a mango/banana flavor with a persimmon consistency when ripe,” Russo said. For the last 15 years, Russo has been eating pawpaws he picks from pawpaw trees in the woods behind his house that back up to Cedar Run. He said he has been experimenting with different pawpaw dishes over the years, and this year made a pawpaw cake for his popular dessert of the week at Giuseppe’s. “I decided to make a pawpaw cake after my daughter and I went for a hike to pick the fruits,” he said. “I’ve always seen the recipes for

(pawpaw) custard, and ice cream, so I decided to give it a shot and bake a cake with them.” The cake sold out in one day. While pawpaw trees grow abundantly in many wooded areas across Northern Virginia, Alonso Abugattas Jr., a Virginia master naturalist and master gardener, cautions that foragers must get permission from landowners before collecting pawpaws. He also says on his Capital Naturalist Facebook page that the default rule at most parks in the area is that foraging is not allowed, so always check with park administration before taking any fruit from public lands.

People who want to try pawpaws may try their luck at local farmers’ markets as pawpaw season wraps up. The Fruitful Forest, a retailer that offers fresh mushrooms, microgreens and specialty produce, will be selling pawpaws at the Manassas Farmers Market on Saturday, Sept. 30 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. or as long as supplies last, according to its Facebook page. Another option is to grow your own pawpaw trees, said Dr. Joshua Jakum, 50, a pediatrician and volunteer at the Clifton Institute. Jakum discovered pawpaws for the first time several years ago while floating down the Potomac River. He tried one on the spot and loved it. “They’re special,” Jakum said. “Each pawpaw fruit is delicate and has a slightly different flavor.” Jakum has made growing pawpaw trees his hobby and has become a local pawpaw expert. He has propagated hundreds of baby pawpaw trees from seeds that he has collected from pawpaw colonies at the Clifton Institute. Each spring he provides about 60 to 80 seedlings for sale to the public at the Clifton Institute native plant sale as a fundraiser for the nonprofit. Jakum has planted over 60 pawpaw trees on his two-acre property in Warrenton and recommends anyone who wants their own crop of pawpaw fruits to plant a tree or two. “You’ll just have to wait eight years for the trees to fruit,” he said. “But it’ll be worth the wait.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com

Georgia Dawson Georgia Dawson of Sumerduck, VA, passed peacefully from this life into the presenceof her Lord, on September 21, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Marshall, VA on June 11, 1934, one of thirteen children of the late Jackson and Katherine Furr. Georgia is predeceased by her faithful husband and love of her life, Vernie E. Dawson, who earned his eternal reward just four short months ago. They were married in Fauquier County on September 19, 1954 and spent 68 faithful years together until his death in May. She is also predeceased by her son, Stanley Ross Dawson; grandson, Larry Dawson, Jr.; great-grandson, Ja'Marion Dawson; four of her sisters, Elizabeth (Sis) Wines, Alice Trenum, Mabel Canard, and Ruth Slayton; and her seven brothers, Jack, Harvey, Howard, Wes, Charlie, Joe, and Daniel Furr. She is survived by three children, Larry Dawson & his wife Fran of Front Royal, VA, David Dawson & his wife Darlene of Orange, VA, and daughter Janet Caplinger & her husband Bobby of Sumerduck, VA; a sister, Virginia 'Jenny' Furr, of Remington, VA; 21 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Georgia's greatest joy came from serving her Lord and her family. Prayer was her greatest ministry. She prayed for everyone by name, and would stop and pray for you wherever you were, even if that happened to be in the aisle of the local Food Lion. As she became unable to travel, her phone became her favorite way to reach out and pray for all of her family and friends and stay in touch. She loved being surrounded by family, visiting her sisters, and seeing her nieces and nephews. Georgia worked as a housekeeper at Fauquier Hospital and took great pride in a job well done. She loved her role as homemaker and was famous for rearranging the furniture in the house on a regular basis. The family learned to be careful before assuming the sofa would be in the same place from day to day. She was in constant motion, cleaning and tidying. It became a family joke that you'd better quickly drink your tea or coffee before she swiped your cup to wash and put away. Georgia loved her church family. Singing in the choir at Catlett Assembly of God, her home church for many years, was a favorite ministry. She was most recently a member of Family Community Church in Culpeper. Her health prevented her attendance in recent years, but she lived a life of worship to her Savior, speaking the name of Jesus throughout her day, every day. As her health failed and the family gathered around, she would pull everyone close and whisper "I love you" and sing her favorite song, "Going Home." Georgia's life exemplifies the Proverbs 31 woman. "Who can find a virtuous woman? Her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life...she worketh willingly with her hands...She rises while it is yet night, and gives meat to her household...Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." As Georgia passed from earth to heaven she surely heard Jesus say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Matthew 25:21 The family will receive visitors on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, 6:00 8:00 pm at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA. A funeral service will be held at The Moser Funeral Home chapel on Thursday, September 28, 2023, at 11:00 am followed by interment at Bright View Cemetery.

Scot Anthony Manning December 4, 1973 – September 17, 2023

Adopted at birth by Elizabeth “Betty” Jane Sinclair Manning and John H. Manning and grew up in Fairfax, VA. Scot was autistic and after many support locations he eventually spent his adult life at a group home in Fairfax County under the care of Community Systems, Inc. (CSI). The family truly thanks Jay and CSI and their staff for their loving care of Scot over the years. His Mom, Betty, was a true advocate for thos with autism and even wrote a book as a directive for other special needs children and their parents. Scot was the love of her life. Scot was truly a remarkable young man always with a smile and loved to talk. He was a big Cowboys fan and Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals as well as a big wrestling fan. He was a ham with a microphone but most of all he loved the Dukes of Hazzard and Boss Hogg. He was happiest with his Mom and Uncle Henry ( John), as he called him, especially when they all attended the Dukes of Hazzard reunions throughout the years. He loved his visits to Cooters in Sperryville and now in Luray. He had a bonding friendship with Cooter (Ben Jones) and his wife Mrs. Alma. He truly enjoyed the Saturday afternoons listening to Cooter and his band perform. Many thanks to Cooter and Mrs. Alma for befriending Scot and giving him many enjoyable afternoons through the years He spent many days reviewing all his tapes of the dukes. He also loved to ride trains and vacation annually with his CSI staff. He loved school buses and police cars. His Mom bought him a small school bus (the Bluebird) to drive him through the neighborhood as he sat in the back waving to everybody. One of his best friends was Officer Warrenton of the Fairfax County PD who befriended Scot after one of his unprovoked altercations. He also enjoyed Roy Orbison (especially Pretty Woman) who actually sent Scot several gifts including many pairs of sunglasses. His Dad John Manning died in 1988. His grandparents John A. and Eleanor Sinclair and Howard and Vert Manning passed away several years ago. Other aunts, uncles and cousin have passed. He is survived by his Mom, Betty Manning who lives at Breezy Knoll, a private assisted living home in Culpeper, VA; his uncle John Henry (Christy) Sinclair of Warrenton; aunt Helen Manning of Round Rock, TX; uncle Bruce (Linda) Manning of PA; uncle Robert L. (Linda) Christman of Cummings, GA; and several cousins. Scot you lit up all our lives, we love you. Rest in peace and may God bless you.

Rachel Hill Gainesville, VA - Rachel Hill, age 78, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2023. She was born on March 12, 1945, in Lincolnton, NC to the late Mr. Alvin and Mrs. Ethel Little. Rachel was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who will be deeply missed. She will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her dedication to education, and her kind and caring nature. She was welcoming, kind, and always interested in what was important in the lives of others. Rachel is survived by her loving husband, Jim (or Clint as family know him), her three sons Alan, Stephen, and Gary, her six cherished grandchildren Emma, Charlotte, Nathan, Kiana, Nolan, and Connor, and her sisters Polly Waters and Evelyn Pate

and their children. Following her graduation from Lincolnton High School as class Valedictorian, Rachel continued her passion for education at High Point College, subsequently transferring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she and her husband met in English class. Rachel extended her studies at the University of Kentucky receiving her Master's Degree in Counseling. Rachel embodied a life of service as a teacher, school counselor, inspector of state childcare facilities, and as a fellow at the U.S. Department of Education. Her expertise and love of English composition led her to also work at the local newspaper, the Fauquier Democrat. Rachel was also active in the community and worked to keep her local county from being overdeveloped. In addition to being an avid reader, especially in Civil War history, Rachel enjoyed working in her garden and happened to discover, after months of laboring one day, that her garden had taken the shape of her beloved home state of North Carolina. Rachel possessed a wonderful intellect with a twinkle in her eye that highlighted her mischievous nature. With a wonderful sense of humor she enjoyed playing pranks on her unsuspecting sons. Pretending a plastic cup of cold black coffee was Pepsi as an unsuspecting son took a sip, or freshly waxing the wood floor in the living room knowing she could watch her boys go for an unexpected slide in their socks. The punchline was her loving cackle at her boys' reactions. As Grandma, she loved taking her grandchildren walking through her garden and over the little "troll" bridge that was set in the middle. Her grandchildren were her true joy and she loved reading stories, playing games, and hosting sleepovers where "What happened at Grandma's stayed at Grandma's'." Friends and family were invited to attend a local memorial service on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at the Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton, VA, with receiving starting at 2:00PM, followed by a chapel service at 3:00 PM. A second service will be held in Rachel's hometown of Lincolnton, NC on September 30, 2023, at the Warlick Funeral Home with receiving starting at 1:00 PM, followed by a chapel service at 2:00 PM and then burial service at Hollybrook Cemetery.

She was a Cub Scout Den Mother and summer camp counselor; also, a Girl Scout leader. She was on the board of FAST (Fauquier Area Swim Team).

SHOULD I GIVE AN ELEGY OR A EULOGY? Although they are similar, an elegy is a type of poem while a eulogy is a piece of prose. Both are read at funerals and memorial services to lament a person who has passed. An elegy is a poem or song expressing grief for the dead that may have a tone of deep sorrow. A eulogy is a speech, usually written by the speaker, that shows praise and gratitude for the dead. An elegy may be only a few lines long and may be written months or years after the person has passed. A eulogy is often much longer and usually written shortly after a death. Elegies are an emotional expression of sorrow, whereas eulogies are more uplifting and celebratory. When you have experienced the loss of a loved one, you can trust MOSER FUNERAL HOME to guide you through the process of honoring their life. Our staff is experienced in a variety of funeral services and can help you celebrate your loved one no matter your religion, culture, or budget. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431. We welcome you to stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Please ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Let the lighthouse of past lives, / With all of the blinding pinnacles, / Guide us through death’s brief mists.” Stewart Stafford
