Charges dropped against man accused of harassing Staunton prosecutor

STAUNTON — A man accused of harassing Staunton Commonwealth’s Attorney John Baber saw charges that he violated two protective orders go by the wayside last week in general district court. In June, Baber obtained a personal protective order against Aaron Q. Barmer, 49, of Staunton, after alleging a months-long pattern of unwanted contact. According to court filings, Barmer repeatedly approached the prosecutor at a public meeting, outside his office, on downtown streets and a community event. Baber said the interactions escalated to the point he feared for his family's safety. Barmer was charged with two counts of violating the PPO in July. He was arrested and held at Middle River Regional Jail for four days before being released on bond. A special prosecutor from Rockingham County was appointed to handle the case. However, Barmer's attorney, Eugene Oliver, filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that prosecuting him violated his First Amendment rights. Amanda Drumheller Strecky, the special prosecutor, supported the motion, and the charges weren't pursued. Baber then asked Judge Gordon Saunders to remove his name from the PPO, and the judge subsequently dissolved the order. A capias was also dismissed. Described in the motion as a political activist,

Local students explore teaching as Virginia vacancies decline

FISHERSVILLE — Walking into a classroom full of students who are considering being teachers delighted Ryan Barber. The Waynesboro assistant superintendent was part of a group that answered questions from students in the Teachers for Tomorrow programs at Valley Career and Technical Center and the Shenandoah Valley Governor's School in Fishersville at the end of October. It was the second straight year the panel of superintendents and central office was hosted by the programs, giving students a chance to ask questions of those in leadership positions in Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro. Barber believes programs like Teachers for Tomorrow can plant seeds that hopefully grow in the years to come, eventually producing more and more teachers in area classrooms. Part of Barber's job is recruiting and hiring staff for Waynesboro Public Schools. Finding teachers is never easy, although according to the The Virginia Department of Education the numbers are improving. Since 2023, teacher vacancies across Virginia have dropped by almost 36% .
