Warrenton farmers market takes next step toward normalcy The Warrenton Farmers Market keeps evolving and vendors and town staff continue to adapt. Saturday’s market was moved to the parking lots on either side of First Street. Stalls were spread out and face masks were in place. Volunteers helped to direct traffic and town police were present as well to make sure all went smoothly.

Customers who were driving by to pick up an order had only to drive down First Street to be served from the comfort of their cars.

But most shoppers were very happy to be able to walk from booth to booth in the bright sunshine.

By a little after 11 a.m., Scott and Vincent Gookin at the Gateau Bakery table had run out of gluten-free options and Freed’s Biscuit Company had sold all their

pre-wrapped biscuits.

Stacey Leadbetter and Haley Minter were selling Barrel Oak wines. Leadbetter said they brought three news wines to the market this week and were glad they did.

“Those new wines we brought are selling well,” she said.

Farmers Market Manager Elizabeth Melson was available to help shoppers manage their SNAP benefits. She explained that a Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive program grant allows SNAP benefits recipients to double their benefits (when they buy fresh fruits and vegetables) and a PATH grant provides Hot Bucks up to the amount of the SNAP benefits.

Melson said that shoppers are able to triple their benefits through the special grants.

REOPENING, from page 1 “I’m working from home right now,” Knott said, “I had everyone stop working at 2:30 p.m. and I said, ‘I’m going out. Warrenton opened. See you!’”

John Tiller, of Warrenton, was joined by his girlfriend, Jolie Atkins, of Stafford, for a meal from Molly’s Irish Pub. “We just drove through town and said, ‘Look, Molly’s is open. Park!’” he said.

“Everybody is smiling,” noted Atkins.

“Even if it’s limited, it’s a lot of stress to be released just by getting out,” added Tiller.

Bree and Phil, a couple from Long Island who declined to give their surnames, were visiting Bree’s brother, who lives in Warrenton. They were also eating outside of Molly’s.

“I agree with what Virginia is doing,” regarding reopening, Bree said. “This is what people need to do, to get back to normalcy.” She said she thinks that governors of states whose restrictions remain in place should follow Virginia’s lead in lifting those restrictions.

She added that she and her partner both kept their jobs during the pandemic and wanted to support small businesses as much as they could. “Help our small businesses –

they need to be helped, they need to be opened,” she said.

Bill and Nan Sterling, a retired couple from Amissville, sat under a large tent in the North Rock Shopping Center parking lot at midday on Friday.

“It’s wonderful to be outside,” Bill Sterling said. He has only left the house four times since February and he had to go to the hospital later that day for an appointment. “But first, I needed some pizza,” he said with a smile.

The Sterlings were enjoying lunch from Ledo Pizza, across the street from the tent. Another three or four tables were occupied. The restaurant’s owner had arranged for the tent to be set up so that the customers could dine on site while adhering to state guidelines, said Megan Massie, the assistant manager.

exchange for the exposure to their business. “So, it helps them, and it helps us,” Massie explained.

Grace Timmerman, another Ledo employee, said the response from customers had been very positive so far. “People have driven by and they are so excited!” she said.

Another Ledo customer, Pam Ryon, of Vint Hill, was having lunch with a friend, something they did often before the pandemic began. “I have to give Ledo’s credit for doing this,” she said. The fact that it was one of the warmest days of the year so far helped too. “The weather is definitely a mood lifter.”

Nevill expressed optimism that the town was on the right track to reopen successfully. “I’m glad to see everyone outside on Main Street enjoying our restaurants, he said, later adding, “If we can all be patient, and give businesses the space they need to be compliant, we can move through Phase 1 and then to Phase 2,” he said.

He reminded everyone: “Tip your servers twice the normal amount.

They have two months of catching up to do.”

Nevill credited the town’s staff for working to make the first day of Phase 1 run smoothly, mentioning Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer, Director of Community Development Frank Cassidy specifically, along with Experience Old Town Warrenton Executive Director Charity Furness.

“They’ve been working non-stop.

And we have the farmers market tomorrow too. The amount of dedication they have to this town is just amazing,” he said of the trio.

Schaeffer said of the reopening initiative, “I’m excited to see how well this is working. The businesses were innovative in creating safe spaces for outdoor dining from Main Street to the bypass.”

She concluded, “Partnering with our businesses on creative solutions is something I always strive to do, and I’m glad we are making it happen through this challenge.”

Fauquier businesses take individual approaches to Forward Virginia Phase 1

By Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

On Friday, May 15, Executive Order 61 went into effect, signaling the beginning of the first phase of the Forward Virginia plan for much of the state. Phase 1 aims to gradually ease public health restrictions while containing the spread of COVID-19; it remains in effect until midnight on June 10, unless amended or rescinded by further executive order.

Some Fauquier businesses were eager to reopen their doors Friday, but others chose to maintain the business practices they adopted in March; they are not quite ready to embrace the challenges that Phase 1 offers.

In Old Town Warrenton, Cammie Fuller, owner of The Open Book (104 Main St., 540-878-5358), stated in a blog post dated May 14 that her store would not be among the businesses reopening. Some safety items have not yet been received for use in the store -- a plexiglass divider for the checkout counter, hand sanitizing items and single-use gloves.

On the morning of May 15, Fuller said she walked to work and “sent good vibes to everyone opening.

We have all been through so much.

I have received warm responses from customers and fellow business owners that we need to do what we feel is right.” She continued, “I have worked harder in the past two months than I have since opening the store. It would be easier to just reopen, but we just aren’t there yet. I don’t have what we need.”

Her neighbors Jeanne-Marie and Maximilian Tufts at The Town Duck (100 Main St.; 540-347-723) took ownership of the business from long-time owner Annette Johnson on March 7, fewer than 10 days before at-home orders went into effect. “We rely on foot traffic,” said Jeanne-Marie Tufts. “We have no ecommerce system and no plans to implement one.”

She admitted that the cancellation or postponement of all gatherings greater than 10 people has impacted the gift side of the shop. “We have a lot of gifts for weddings, graduations and can add to any tailgate party,” she said.

She has relied on FaceTime and texting to communicate with her customers. Considered an essential business because the shop sells food and wine, the store did not see any changes with Phase 1 in place.

With Phase 2, she hopes business will continue to improve. “Our customers have all been patient with the changes and the town has been responsive to our questions,” she said.

“This isn’t how you want to kick off a new business or entrepreneurial adventure. Everyone is mindfully approaching the gradual reopening.

We hope for big changes in the next

few weeks,” she said about the anticipated return of foot traffic.

Twelve miles north, in Marshall, The Whole Ox (8357 W. Main St.; 540-724-1650) has been closed to customers since March. But owner Amanda Luhowiak has added curbside pickup and delivery, both of which have been well received. She did not anticipate any changes with Phase 1; customers are still not permitted in the shop.

“We have welcomed new customers who are unable to find what they need at the grocery store,” said Luhowiak. “Other new customers have begun to purchase meat from us instead of the grocery store as an added safety measure.”

Luhowiak and her husband Derek decided to move their holiday giving program from the end of the year to now. “Each year we invite customers to donate to the purchase of beef for Fauquier FISH and we match donations. The response from the community to this call was overwhelming,” she said. To date, The Whole Ox has received $4,000 in donations.

“The relationship with FISH has strengthened during the pandemic,” said Luhowiak. The food pantry and butcher have negotiated a deal for other meat items beyond the donations.

Juan Villasenor, one of the owners of El Agave in Marshall (7391 John Marshall Highway; 540-253-5084) said his restaurant is weathering the storm. Without an outdoor patio at the northern Fauquier location, owners have no choice but to limit services to curbside pickup. While El Agave offers the same menu as it did prior to the pandemic, business has declined over the past two months.

Owners hope that the eased restrictions of Phase 2, tentatively scheduled for mid-June, will allow them to welcome back customers.

Happy Creek Coffee & Tea, located in The Plains (6485 Main St.; 866-447-9275), has also experienced a decline in business. Manager Mary Breeden said, “We had a lot of customers who stopped by on their way to work in the mornings and we lost that business.”

In response to the pandemic, the coffee shop increased its offerings of bulk and frozen items that customers can take home and bake. “We now carry baking mixes and continue to sell bulk coffee bags,” Breeden said.

She is grateful for all her loyal customers who have been keeping the coffee shop afloat.

Meanwhile, Haymarket Bicycles Studio, which is collocated with the coffee shop, has had an increase in customers because of the at-home orders and renewed interest in fresh air and exercise, Breeden observed from her vantage point at the coffee counter.

Creek Coffee and Haymarket Bicycles sits Crest Hill Antiques and Tea Room (6488 Main St.; 540-2535790). Owner Sally DeLuca closed the tearoom to table service when at-home orders were implemented.

Foot traffic that would browse the shop’s line of vintage jewelry and other items has decreased as a result.

“Mother’s Day is the Superbowl Sunday of tearooms,” said DeLuca, “And we needed to make sure we

were able to accommodate our customers this year. To continue offering a Mother’s Day treat, DeLuca created a special Mother’s Day Tea to Go that is available through May 31. This, combined with the takehome menu of items that would travel well, is helping the tearoom make ends meet, despite a 75% decrease in April sales from the same month last year.

Pilot project would put Chromebooks in Fauquier High students’ hands

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

At the May 11 school board meeting, school board members heard a presentation about a potential pilot program that would provide Chromebook computers to every student at Fauquier High School.

Louis McDonald, director of technology for the school division, explained the proposed initiative, which would require the purchase of 1,600 computers.

McDonald said that FHS would be the best location for the pilot program because of its superior infrastructure and its proximity to school division offices. “I have four [IT] people who are within walking distance,” he said, so support during the program’s initial phase would be more readily available.

If approved by the school board, the project would be extended in 2022 to Kettle Run and Liberty high schools and to Southeastern Alternative School.

Supplying middle schools with the technology is a long-term goal, slated for fiscal year 2023.

McDonald said the school board will be provided more information before a final decision is made on the FHS project. “We want to be sure we have 100% support,” he said.

The key to the project is $1.2 million in Virginia Public School Authority funding (plus $570,000

that is expected in July). McDonald explained that the VPSA oversees several financing programs for schools. One of them is the School Educational Technology Notes program; the funding is to be used primarily to establish a computer-based instructional and testing system for the Standards of Learning and to develop the capability for highspeed Internet connectivity at high schools, followed by middle schools and then by elementary schools.

McDonald said that the annual funds received can be used to purchase technology that supports SOL testing.

These funds have primarily been used to provide computing devices for students, but some funding has been used to expand the wireless infrastructure.

McDonald said the up-front cost for the pilot would be $842,000, with a recurring annual cost of $70,000 for support, repairs and replacements. The money would pay for the 1,600 FHS Chromebooks with care packages and for 600 additional machines and care packages for student use in case remote learning is again required at some point in the future.

McDonald said the school division receives the $570,000 VPSA funding at the beginning of every school year, so recurring costs will be covered.

He said until they decided between PCs and Chromebooks, the county held off on spending the VPSA funds.

Toward that end, a pilot of the pilot was conducted this year, in two classes each at Fauquier, Liberty and Kettle Run. Some students were given Chromebooks and others were given Windows laptops. McDonald said, “We polled both the students and teachers … to get their feedback. Overall, either device was considered acceptable.”

The experiment revealed that Chromebooks seem to be a better choice, said McDonald, due to “ease of system management, unit cost and set up for SOL testing.”

The technology director said that he expects to learn a lot from the all-FHS pilot. Questions to be answered: What will be the impact on the school’s infrastructure if every student has a computer? Should the computers be collected at the end of the school year so they can be cleaned and upgraded? What metrics should be used to evaluate the success of the program? What will device support look like? Will a student help desk be needed? What

training will teachers need to make the most of the new technology?

Superintendent of Schools David Jeck was particularly concerned with this last question. “We’ve got to provide training,” he said. “We want it to be successful.”

He said he has been impressed by how teachers have been instructing students remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. “As awful as it’s been, our teachers are stretching. They are learning the technology piece. But we’ve got to offer the training.”

Major Warner, associate superintendent for instruction, said that training modules are being developed now. “We’ll start to roll them out this summer.” He said there will be no additional cost for the training.

“We have all the resources we need.”

McDonald said that he would like to provide teachers with Chromebooks as well, so they can learn how to use them effectively with their students.

McDonald said, “Once we know how the pilot goes, we can develop a plan.”

Jeck reminded school board members that McDonald’s staff is already stretched thin and that the project could result in more IT support personnel being needed.

School Board Chairman Duke Bland interjected, “I think we’re going to have to look at personnel sooner rather than later.”

The Fauquier County Public School Division deployed 10 school buses equipped with Wi-Fi hotspots to locations throughout Fauquier County this week. Each bus emits a Wi-Fi signal up to a distance of 300 feet. By launching this fleet of smart buses, FCPS aims to increase student access to learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

“Thanks to Dave Graham [executive director for administration and planning] and Cheryl Fisher [director of transportation] for making this happen for our kids.

I know families appreciate this resource,” said Superintendent of Schools David Jeck.

In March, FCPS surveyed families to gauge the need for devices and Internet access. Schools followed the FCPS Device Distribution Plan to distribute more than 500 Chromebooks to students in April.

When more than 400 households responded that they did not have adequate internet access, the school division ordered the Kajeet school bus hotspots. The hotspots were installed on buses parked in strategic locations.

Fauquier’s 3 public high schools graduate this week GRADUATION, from page 1 The one-graduate-at-a-time ceremonies have been low-key, less boisterous, but perhaps more personal.

Each student has their own place in the spotlight. They are applauded, and the next student appears, five or six minutes later.

Each graduate, accompanied by parents or guardians, accepts their diploma and walks across a stage that is rather more modest than usual, to the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance.”

Liberty High Principal Sam Cox and Assistant Principal Patrick Neidich agreed that after a while they stopped noticing the endless loop playing over the loudspeaker. Cox said that usually, he and other administrators are up on the Jiffy Lube Live stage when that song comes on.

“When that music plays and the students are coming in and moving past us. It’s such a cool moment. When I hear that music, I think, ‘That’s what we are here for.’”

Thanks to a grant from the PATH Foundation, each senior has his

or her picture taken several times during the brief ceremony by professional photographers. They will be able to access the photos for free, said PATH Communications Director Amy Petty.

And the change in protocol did not seem to dampen the pride parents felt for their children. When Kettle Run High School graduate Mary Katherine Behan accepted her diploma, her mother briefly drowned out “Pomp and Circumstance” with “You did it! We are so proud of you!”

Gabriella Biasillo, who was one of the Kettle Run students initially disappointed with the graduation plans, said, “The ceremony was beautiful.

I am so grateful to all of the people who worked so hard to make this happen.”

Biasillo came prepared with her own confetti, and although she had lamented that she and her friends would not be shoulder to shoulder for the ceremony, she pointed to a hill high over the football field where a dozen or so students watched over the proceedings. “There are my friends. They came,” she said.

Forward Virginia PHASE 1, from page 3 “We are nowhere near the business we had before [the pandemic] but we are doing well.” With Phase 2, she can open the retail store; she has already been selling items online. “We also have an Etsy store, which carries all of our vintage items. We are just going to ride it out,” DeLuca said.

Ivan Melson, general manager of Grioli’s Italian Bistro and Pizzeria in Bealeton (11085 Marsh Road; 540439-3332) expressed his gratitude for the restaurant’s loyal customers, “We can’t thank people enough for supporting all the changes that have been implemented. We are busier than normal, and people are being extremely patient waiting for items from the parking lot in their cars.”

He added, “We have gotten really good at curbside and delivery and have no intentions of doing away with these services,” even when the restaurant can welcome customers inside.

Melson said, “We have a strong presence in the community. The owner never says no to a fundraiser. All that community support has come back to us in full. You reap what you sow.”

Alexandria Scadden, general manager of Morais Vineyards in Bealeton (11409 Marsh Road; 540-729-4823), is taking a slower approach to allowing customers back to the winery.

“After we closed our doors, we were only able to offer curbside pickup and delivery. The hardest part is that the vines keep growing.

The farm work doesn’t stop,” Scadden said. “We have also had to deal with the late frost and drastic temperature changes.”

With Phase 1 in effect, the winery can open outdoor seating at 50% occupancy while maintaining social distancing, but the winery decided to wait one additional week before opening up its outdoor seating. “We know ev-

eryone is eager to get out and we want to welcome our customers back, but we want to be as safe as possible. This [past] weekend, we decided to wait and see how it went at other vineyards. It seems to have gone well and we are optimistic that our reopening this weekend will also go well,” she said.

The wedding component of the business has been rescheduling events. “Our bridal couples have all been great and most are rescheduling their weddings,” Scadden said.

The vineyard has been able to keep all their employees during the pandemic. Morais will be open to club members by reservation for the last two weekends in May, from noon until 6 p.m. -- lawn seating only.

Brian Roeder, owner of Barrel Oak Winery & Farm Taphouse in Delaplane, said that the winery was open to the public in limited ways this weekend, which also marked the 12th anniversary of the winery’s opening. This anniversary weekend, he said, “was vastly different than any that has come before.”

Roeder explained that, in addition to the curbside pickup program already in place, the general public were offered limited access to the outdoor spaces at the winery, although this was not widely advertised. “We did not want to risk being overrun,” he said.

New systems have been put in place to manage guests, Roeder added, and customers were pleased.

Additionally, a new package available at the winery allows customers to purchase four hours in a outside reserved private space for up to 10 people. The package includes wine and beer, which can be taken home. Roeder said that the winery has already received 23 bookings.

On the weekend before Memorial Day and on the holiday itself the winery will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the general public – this service is dubbed “Barrel Oak Chill” – as well as for curbside pickups.

Virginia, Fauquier, Culpeper COVID-19 cases jump up Tuesday morning According to the Virginia Department of Health, the number of new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 across the state stands at 32,145 as of Tuesday morning; that’s 1,005 more cases than Monday. On Monday, 802 cases were added. Between Saturday and Sunday, 665 new cases were added.

The VDH website has reported that according to a model of the COVID-19 health crisis in Virginia, community mitigation efforts like social distancing and closing some businesses have avoided 499,593 cases in the state. The VDH model predicts that if Virginia experiences a light rebound in COVID-19 cases after public health restrictions are lifted, new confirmed cases will peak at 101,367 per week during the week ending July 12.

However, if the rebound is strong, the model forecasts new confirmed cases will peak at 144,966 per week during the week ending July 5.

The VDH is hiring more than 1,300 contact tracers, investigators and other personnel in an attempt to avoid those higher numbers.

Virginia added 27 COVID-19 related deaths Tuesday morning, up from five added Monday and seven added Sunday. Saturday’s number was 25. The Virginia Department of Health reports that there have been 1,007 confirmed and 34 probable deaths related to COVID-19. The state’s death toll now stands at 1,041.

Outbreaks

The Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, which includes Fauquier County, reported its fifth “outbreak” May 14 after reporting its fourth the day before. The first was in a health care facility (not Fauquier Health); the four most recent have been in “congregate settings.” The definition of congregate setting is broad and could include an adult day care program, an apartment complex, church, place of business, neighborhood, event venue or shelter.

Fifty-six outbreak-related cases have been reported in the health district.

Testing

As part of its data releases each day, the Virginia Department of Health started on Friday, May 15 distinguishing between total COVID-19 tests administered and PCR tests only. PCR refers to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction laboratory testing, which describes the majority of COVID-19 tests; this reveals whether there is an active infection.

The other part of the data – referred to as “total” tests -- includes serology testing (also referred to as antibody testing), which reveals whether someone has been previously infected, but not if they are currently positive.

Gov. Ralph Northam has said he is keeping an eye on the state’s positivity rating, which has been calculated by dividing the positive tests by the

Professional Cleaning & Disinfecting of Coronavirus, Mold Removal, Abatement & Remediation Serving Northern and Central Virginia IF YOU HAVE A COMMERCIAL SPACE AND ARE REQUIRED TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF PROPER DISINFECTION, OR JUST WANT PEACE OF MIND THAT IT WAS DONE RIGHT; OUR PROTOCOL WILL MEET THOSE STANDARDS.

total tests. He has said the state considers the positivity numbers’ trajectory when making decisions about reopening businesses.

Because the “total” number is higher than the “PCR only” number, the positivity rate is higher when only the PCR numbers are included.

For instance, as of Tuesday, Virginia has administered a total of 224,991 tests (6,598 more than as of Monday), for a positivity number of 13.4%. Only 201,183 PCR tests have been given, which changes the positivity percentage to 14.9%.

In the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, 4,612 total tests have been given for a positivity number of 19.6%. When considering the PCR tests only (4,092), the percentage is at 22.4%.

Local data

Fauquier County reported its fifth COVID-19 related death on Tuesday, May 12. The Virginia Department of Health reports its numbers depending on the residence of the person, not where they died.

Fauquier County added 20 new cases of COVID-19 Tuesday morning, so the number is currently 243.

The health district added 10 Monday and five the day before. The number of Fauquier residents who have been hospitalized is 20. That number has remained steady for several days.

Culpeper, which has mirrored Fauquier’s numbers since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, reported

its fifth death on May 9. Culpeper is reporting 452 cases Tuesday, 64 more than Monday, which is a significant jump in cases. Culpeper on Tuesday reported a total of 33 patients hospitalized, three more than yesterday.

On Friday, May 8, the Virginia Department of Health began releasing COVID-19 data by ZIP code. As of Tuesday morning, the 22712 ZIP code, which covers Bealeton, has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Fauquier, with 68, nine more than yesterday. The VDH reports that 263 people have been tested from that ZIP code.

Warrenton ZIP code 20186 has 42 positive cases with 353 tested, and 20187, which covers the Warrenton/ New Baltimore area, has 40 reported cases with 314 having been tested. Marshall (20115) has reported 23 cases and 119 tests. Catlett (20119) is reporting 15 cases and 88 tests.

Remington (22734) reported 19 cases Tuesday, with 88 tests. All other ZIP codes in the county are reporting fewer than nine cases.

All numbers reported here are as of Monday, May 15, at 5 p.m.

Hospitalized

The number of hospitalized patients in Virginia is 3,904; 28 of those cases are classified as “probable” COVID-19 related. Eighty-two more people have been hospitalized than were on Monday.

Fauquier supervisors address COVID-19 response during regular meeting

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

At the regular meeting of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors on Thursday evening, the consent agenda, which passed without discussion, had a few of the usual odds and ends.

There was a resolution to expand the Opal Service District by 83 acres, for instance, and a resolution to modify a contract related to the construction of wastewater treatment systems in Catlett and Calverton.

But, like everything else recently, the agenda and general atmosphere were dominated by the global pandemic and its ramifications.

With the meeting having returned to its usual meeting space in the Warren Green Building, only three supervisors were physically present in the room – all wearing masks, along with the county staff present - while the two remaining supervisors participated through a video conferencing service.

To comply with the prohibition on gatherings of more than 10 people, no one else was allowed in the room. Members of the public had several means to submit comments to the supervisors for citizen’s time and the public hearing item, but no one did. The regular meeting lasted about 20 minutes.

Among the 14 items on the consent agenda, supervisors voted to allocate an additional $75,000 from the county’s contingency reserve to offset costs related to the COVID-19 response, leaving $13,206 in the reserve for the last two months of fiscal year 2020.

The latest allocation is specifically “to enhance public services for the safety and welfare of citizens and county personnel while citizens conduct county business,” according to the text of the resolution.

In March supervisors allocated $100,000 from the reserve for the county’s response to the pandemic, $65,700 of which went to the purchase of personal protective equipment for first responders. An additional $26,203 was spent on technology upgrades, bringing the total to $91,903. About $68,903 is eligible for reimbursement from the federal and the state, according to the county staff report.

Supervisors on Thursday also voted to allocate $25,000 to the Fauquier County Emergency Grant Fund, which was created by the county’s economic development authority as a response to the pandemic, from the contingency reserve.

The single public hearing item – there were no comments submitted by members of the public – was a proposed ordinance that seeks to address the continuity of county government during the pandemic. It was unanimously approved.

The ordinance provides, among other things, a succession plan for the heads of county departments in the event they are incapacitated, limits some government functions that are deemed “non-essential,” temporarily suspends some administrative procedures and creates a waiver process for certain land-use deadlines.

Other COVID-related items included a resolution to support the implementation of Phase 1 of Gov. Ralph Northam’s “Forward Virginia” plan

in Fauquier County beginning on May 15; a resolution to support the running of the Middleburg Spring Races and the Virginia Gold Cup as currently planned - without spectators - and a resolution to accept and appropriate $6.2 million in federal funds allocated by the federal CARES Act.

County to apply for FEMA grant

Also on the consent agenda was a resolution authorizing the county to apply for a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to fund an additional 11 full-time-equivalent career fire and rescue personnel in the county along with upgrades to three existing positions.

At a work session earlier in the day, supervisors heard a presentation about the grant – called the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grant Program - from Fauquier County Fire and Rescue Chief Darren Stevens and Director of Management and Budget Erin Kozanecki.

If the grant is approved, the new positions will allow for four-person, 24/7 staffing in Goldvein.

Currently, career staff at Goldvein are on site for 12 hours a day, seven days a week, Stevens said.

The county has applied successfully twice before, the last time in 2016. Kozanecki explained that the grant “basically slows the impact to local dollars, which allows you to still do the things that you looked at in the proposed budget for FY2021 but with federal funding to backfill for the first three years.”

The federal funding would pay the base salary and benefits for the new staff, but not additional operating costs. The cost to the county would be $292,412 in FY2021, gradually rising to $1 million in FY2024. “It allows us to get through COVID and know what the impacts of that are, as well as reassessment,” Kozanecki said.

Remington Town Council

In the Remington Town Council election, six candidates were on the ballot for six seats on the council. Incumbent Mayor Gerald Billingsley ran unopposed for reelection. Remington had 356 registered voters as of April 30.

The mayor and these candidates will serve on the town council for the next two years: Van Loving, Evan “Skeet” Ashby III, Stan Heaney Sr., Susan Tiffany, Devada Allison and Kimberly Henry.

The Plains Town Council

Voters in The Plains elected a mayor and filled three council seats whose terms are expiring. Current council member Lori Sisson ran unopposed for mayor, leaving a fourth council seat open and four candidates for town council. There were 216 registered voters in The Plains as of April 30.

These candidates won seats on the council to serve for the next four years: Bruce LeLacheur, John Deering, Blake Gallagher and Melissa Washer.

Fauquier County will soon receive funds from the federal government to use toward its pandemic response. A total of $6.2 million dollars – including $1 million for the county’s incorporated towns – will be distributed as a result of the CARES Act, signed into law in March.

“We know we will get 50% in the beginning of June,” said Erin Kozanecki, the county director of management and budget. The rest of the funds are expected to arrive in the fall. Some funding for ambulance revenue recovery funding losses and social services has already been received.

On the specific allowable uses for that funding, Kozanecki said there is much that is still unknown, beyond that the funding would need to be used “primarily for response efforts.”

When asked whether the federal funding could go toward school division costs associated with distance learning, Kozanecki said she had yet to receive clear guidance from the state - through which the federal funding is channeled - that would answer that question.

Revenue for FY2021 projected to fund supervisors budget fully

Kozanecki presented an update on the budget during a May 14 work session of the board of supervisors, when she summarized the actions taken by county staff to reduce spending and anticipate fluctuations in revenue during a possible recession.

The county is on track to generate enough revenue to fund the fiscal year 2021 budget, even amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, according to Kozanecki.

“Yes, at this point in time we do, because we have already substantially reduced our projections,” she said when asked if county staff project revenues will be sufficient to fund the budget.

In March, county supervisors passed a “flat”

$349 million budget that included no increase in either real estate taxes or expenditures for fiscal year 2021, which begins on July 1.

Kozanecki said that the anticipated growth in revenue for FY2021 was revised down by 53%.

Since the pandemic began, she said, the number of personal property tax filings – not necessarily the revenue - has declined, but it is beginning to rebound. Real estate tax collection “is on par with last year,” she said.

Due to a hiring freeze and a freeze on non-essential spending, both implemented in March, Kozanecki said she anticipates $750,000 in cost savings by the end of the fiscal year.

The freezes have been extended through at least Sept. 30 by county administrator Paul McCulla. After the meeting, Kozanecki elaborated, “We are very hopeful we will not have to do further reductions.”

Sales tax revenue for fiscal year 2020, which ends June 30, is expected to exceed the budgeted amount by 1%. The county collected $950,000 in sales tax in March – the last month for which data is available up 13% over the same month the previous year.

Kozanecki said that the amount collected in March “is probably one of the highest numbers we’ve had in the last three years.”

Both Kozanecki and McCulla attributed the rise in sales tax revenue to the fact that many county residents who normally commute – and therefore spend money outside the county – are staying home and spending money inside the county instead.

“We see this every time there is a federal furlough, we see a bump in sales tax, because people aren’t commuting,” Kozanecki said after the meeting.

McCulla cautioned that the spike in local commerce levels in March may be in part attributable to what he called “panic buying,” as the effects of the pandemic initially became more pronounced.

He said that it is difficult to gauge right now if the March numbers represented the beginning of a trend. “When we’re really going to know is a month from now, when we get the April numbers,” he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sheriff recognizes National Police Week In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as an annual national “Peace Officers Memorial Day.” National Police Week always falls during the week of May 15.

I would like each of us to pause for a moment to reflect on the actions of our devoted Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies during National Police Week. They have chosen a profession for which they risk their lives each time they don their uniforms.

Families of fallen officers placed flags in the wreath that was on display during the memorial ceremony for police officers Friday.

In Fauquier County, we live in comfort knowing that our deputies promise us, when they take their oaths of office, to serve and protect us. We go to sleep each night with the peace of mind that someone is always on watch in the event a crisis erupts in the community.

Even though this year’s National Police Week observances will look different than in years past, we will still honor today’s deputies and those who have given their lives in the line of duty with the recognition they deserve.

Many public celebrations throughout the nation have been canceled, but supportive members of our community have found ways in which to honor the men and women of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Some will deliver meals and refreshments to our deputies and others are displaying signs in recognition of our brave men and women, to publicly show their respect and appreciation.

We, at the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, experienced a busy year since last year’s National Police

Livestock Show and Sale a success in spite of restrictions I would like to personally thank everyone that supported the 61st Fauquier County Livestock Show and Sale. Things were very different this year due to COVID-19 restrictions and we were not able to have our live show with auction.

Our community members came together to help support myself and my fellow 4-H/Future Farmers of America participants in selling their market livestock animals.

The 4-H and FFA participants are all hard-working agricultural kids and through programs like Show and Sale they learn many life skills such perseverance, record keeping, public speaking, proper feed and

housing for their livestock animals, time management and much more.

I would also like to thank our buyers, sponsors and parents for supporting us along the way; Show and Sale Committee members; and our extension agents, Lenah Nguyen, Tim Mize and Sarah Bullard. They worked many hours to help all of the participants sell their market animals, set up virtual shows and promote this event within the community.

The outpouring of community support for this program is greatly appreciated by many. Thank you.

ZANE M. WOODWARD Chairman, 2020 Show and Sale Committee

COVID-19 is a moral crisis Policies and statements from our federal government over the past two weeks have confirmed that this pandemic is no longer primarily a scientific or medical crisis; it’s a moral crisis. Our national leaders are aware of comprehensive protocols involving testing, tracing and isolation that have dramatically reduced the mortality and infection rates in other countries, but they are choosing not to implement them in a systematic way. The states, localities and individual homes are doing what we can, but we need national leadership as we do with

any national crisis.

We are all aware of the undeniable questions, problems, mishaps, instances of misbehavior, etc. that complicate our understanding of and response to the virus. But they are all secondary to the primary issue—our federal government’s response is not an all-out “war” to protect the health and economy of our country.

Since this is a moral crisis, the silence from the religious community as our death rate approaches 100,000 is deafening.

Week. We responded to countless calls for service and assistance. Our deputies made a number of important arrests, including many that cleared our community of life-destroying, illegal drugs such as heroin and fentanyl. Deputies responded to 911 calls at all hours of the day and night, as well as in all weather conditions.

Some of our calls involved acts of violence. Other calls were for events that do not necessarily fall into the category of our responsibilities as law enforcement officers. None-

I want to express my profound gratitude for the hard work and dedication of our men and women serving as law enforcement officers for not only safeguarding our community, but also for enhancing our citizens’ quality of life.

ROBERT P. MOSIER Fauquier County Sheriff

On the importance of testing for COVID-19 Two people who work in the White House have tested positive for COVID-19. It should be obvious that testing alone does not prevent the virus from spreading. This situation demonstrates the importance of more widespread testing. Anyone who shows any symptoms, as well as anyone who has been exposed to a known case should be tested, isolated and monitored until results are in.

Contact tracing must begin immediately for those who test positive.

The White House incident clearly illustrates the arrogance and denial of the current administration. There is no better example of the gaping holes in the mindsets of even those who “believe” they are “safe.” Mike Pence, while touring Mayo Clinic, refused a mask because he “knew” he didn’t have the virus because he is tested frequently. If this virus can get in to the White House with all their systems

and monitoring, it can go anywhere.

The administration should be shamed into following the rules of their scientific advisors: social distancing, staying at home, frequent hand washing and wearing masks.

Congress must expand testing, including funding for test kits, supplies and setting up and staffing testing sites, including PPE for testers.

Sites must be accessible to minority communities that are particularly at risk and in industrial locations where there have been outbreaks.

There must be federal oversight of reopening states and localities only when the federal guidelines are met. And legislation must be passed to financially support individuals, families and small businesses until reopening can occur safely.

FAUQUIER HIGH SCHOOL | CLASS OF 2020 #webelieve #alwaysbelieve

Dear FHS Graduation Class of 2020, It is my honor and privilege to recognize the accomplishments you have achieved and the hard work you have done to earn your high school diploma. I am confident as you enter the next phase of your life you will discover you are prepared to meet any challenges in your quest to achieve your future goals.

Over the last four years, you have accomplished many feats. Earning recognition for academic achievement, participating in district, regional and state winning athletic teams, proving your skills in vocational competitions, receiving awards and scholarships, earning a position as a top decile student, demonstrating your endless talents in music and theatre, performing in concerts and plays, sup-

porting your classmates as spectators in the ZOO, the list goes on. When asked to describe you as a class, the words that come to mind are: caring, compassionate, thoughtful, respectful, hard-working, ambitious, dedicated, high-achievers, passionate for learning, destined for success, flexible and most importantly resilient. After all, you are Falcons!

Adversity is nothing new to you. You did not have the opportunity to experience the last semester of your senior year. Senior Picnic, Prom, After Prom Party, Talent Show, spring sports, and the traditional Graduation Ceremony were all taken because of a virus. It was the last time you were in school with all your classmates.

What did you learn? New vocabulary words arose such as social distancing, self-quarantine, and Covid19. Hand sanitizer, toilet paper and dis-

infectants are like gold. Most importantly, school wasn’t as bad as you thought. As many of you have said to me over the last two months, “I wish I could go to school, I miss seeing my friends and teachers”. While this is not the ending you have expected or have planned for, this will make you stronger. You are unique and this is an opportunity to create a legacy for the class of 2020. Always remember, you will endure. You are Falcons!

Cherish each day, achieve your goals, live your dreams, expect the unexpected and most importantly, be flexible and learn to adapt. Be resilient, always reach for the sky, believe in yourself, work hard and you will succeed. Congratulations class of 2020 and Good Luck in all of your endeavors.

BIANCA’S PUR-FECT COLLEGE

Liberty’s Purpura to play soccer at Alderson Broaddus

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Once she started playing soccer at age 6, Liberty senior Bianca Purpura knew that would be her sport.

Twelve years later, the 5-foot-3 forward earned the right to play four additional years at NCAA Division II Alderson Broaddus University in Philippi, W.Va. “I was pretty good at soccer from the start. Even my rec coaches saw something in me, and I saw that in myself,” said Purpura at a signing ceremony at Liberty on March 10.

Alderson Broaddus wooed her in a whirlwind courtship, leading to a post-Thanksgiving campus visit in 2019. Battlers’ coach Jaron Hulme credits assistant coach Rob Breton with bringing Purpura’s soccer video to his attention.

“After the first few highlights we already knew we wanted her to be a part of what we are building here,” said Hulme. “It was obvious from her film that she could be a big part of our program immediately, even as a freshman.”

Purpura said she and her father, Anthony, liked the school, about 180

She’s pictured with parents Anthony and Kathy. miles west of Bealeton. “I could see myself there. Everyone there was so nice,” Purpura said. “A lot of nice people, and no one wants to be around mean people.”

Still, she did not make an immediate commitment, waiting on Alderson Broaddus’ financial aid package. She also considered Erskine College (S.C.), Cedar Crest College (Allentown, Pa.) and Shenandoah University in Winchester. Other suitors fell to the side because they did not have her desired major of sports management.

Purpura was an all-Northwest-

Going, going, gone VHSL officially cancels spring sports for 2020

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The Virginia High School League formally pulled the plug on the spring sports season recently, ending any hopes of playing an abbreviated schedule in late June and July.

No one was shocked, since the coronavirus is still rampant and playing games in such an altered environment is still highly questionable.

“It (is) impossible to have a spring season without putting people at risk,” said VHSL Executive Director Dr. John W. “Billy” Haun. “We especially grieve with those senior athletes and activity participants who will not have an opportunity to represent their school or wear their school jersey one final time after years of hard work and dedication.”

After mentioning the possibility of July competition in an April press release, the VHSL Executive Committee voted 31-0-1 to cancel in their May 7 meeting, saying that the coronavirus situation has not changed.

“The cancellation was not a surprise,” said Hylton High principal

ern District second team selection in 2019. She expects to play as a left or right forward, with time on a wing possible. “He (Hulme) hopes to see me as a starting freshman, competing a lot for a starting spot,” Purpura said. “He likes that I have a high soccer IQ…that I knew every position.

And I’m really fast, and he likes that.”

Liberty coach Marc Costanzo said Purpura made her mark as an Eagle.

“From her first year in the program, I knew Bianca had great potential to develop as a player and go far in the soccer world,” Costanzo said. “But

what I’m most proud of is her determination, passion and maturity. I’ve seen her blossom into a leader who leads by example, pushing her teammates to do their best on and off the field.”

“At practice, she has the unique ability to be both competitive and intense while also positively impacting the culture,” assistant coach Aubri Buzzo said.

With the coronavirus canceling the spring season, Purpura is running to stay fit. She was given a daily workout program by Alderson Broaddus coaches. In addition, she’s working almost every day at Moo Thru ice cream shop.

Purpura was also a track standout, lettering four years in indoor track and once outdoors. She departs as a member of Liberty’s indoor record-holding 800- and 1,600-meter relay squads. Track coach Helene Leigh called her a “phenomenal athlete” but is more impressed with Purpura’s leadership and interaction with her teammates.

“I’ve always loved sports in general, not just soccer,” said Purpura, who will pursue a degree in sports management and minor in marketing. “They are a big part of my life, but I know I can’t play forever. This is the way I’ll always be connected to sports.”

She would love to work in athletic administration for a college or for a pro franchise. “Start wherever I can and go from there,” she said.

If sports never return …

There is talk of professional baseball returning in July and the NFL in August, but what if sports never returned?

Washington, which hadn’t won the World Series in 95 years, would reign over baseball forever. Kansas City, which hadn’t won the Super Bowl in 50 years, would reign over the NFL forever. Canada, at 27 years and counting without a Stanley Cup, would hold the NBA championship forever. St. Louis, which had never previously won the Stanley Cup, would reign over the NHL forever. And the University of Virginia, which had never won the college basketball title, would be the NCAA men’s champ forever.

Local schools are still closed to all sports activities.

David Cassady. “Under the current conditions it became evident that there was no other option. The topic of discussion was always around the safety of athletes and the community.”

Right now, any sports camps are not permitted on school grounds. Nor

are weightlifting or conditioning activities for athletes looking to stay in shape or prepare for fall sports.

“Currently we are not allowed to do anything. Hopefully that will change sooner than later,” said Kettle Run High activities director Paul Frye.

“Why rush back and take a chance to get infected?” said Battlefield boys soccer coach Cedric Bullock, who mentioned logistical problems with getting to games. “If we take a bus, that’s a closed environment,” said Bullock.

Kettle Run baseball coach Ty Thorpe worried how his team was going to position themselves in the dugout, and, like Bullock, supports the decision to not play a one-month mini-season.

“I don’t think you can put kids in the field. Right now gatherings are not bigger than 10 and we have

to be 6 feet apart, so you can’t keep a team in a dugout then. You have to do what’s best for public safety,” Thorpe said in April.

While athletes are dealing with the disappointment of the lost seasons, so are college coaches.

“I’m concerned about the loss of development. Thirty-five to 65 more innings would make (pitchers) better,” said James Madison University pitching coach Jimmy Jackson. “It’s the same for our own players at JMU.” Optimism remains for the fall, when high school football, volleyball, field hockey, golf and cross country take center stage.

Football is the No. 1 attendance draw for most high schools and produces the most revenue. There is talk in some states of playing football games without fans, or pushing back the season.

Stone’s Throw is approached through its original stone pillared entryway and then, along an ascending driveway, is bordered on one side by a stone a retaining wall and on the other by a row of majestic boxwoods.

As it comes into view, the residence presents itself handsomely, exhibiting substance over pretentiousness so often found in today’s offerings.

Inside, room by room, such distinctions become apparent and together, their circular flow perfectly lends itself to gatherings of all sizes. This is truly a home place; not merely a house on a lot.
