False negatives in coronavirus tests a concern

Testing for the novel coronavirus has become exponentially more accessible since the pandemic began.

In Virginia, 43 times more tests were performed during the most recent week than in mid-March. Getting tested before traveling or returning to work has become a routine part of life during the pandemic; some

universities are requiring proof of a negative test result from students before they return to campus this fall.

As of Monday, more than 1 million tests for the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease have been conSee TESTING, page 2

Former bank manager accused of taking $100,000 from customers Staff Reports A former branch manager of The Plains branch of The Fauquier Bank has been charged with 36 felony counts after allegedly forging withdrawal slips and taking a total of more than $100,000 from bank customers.

On multiple dates from May 2019 to February 2020, Susan Woolston Wright Susan Wright of Upperville allegedly forged withdrawal slips from four customers’ accounts and removed a total of $103,573 from those accounts, according to criminal complaints filed July 8 by a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputy.

Wright is charged with 16 felony counts of forgery, 16 counts of false uttering and four counts of obtaining money by false pretenses.

Wright turned herself in on July 11 and was released on a $25,000 secured bond, according to a sheriff’s office spokesperson.

She will appear in Fauquier County General District Court for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 7. If convicted, Wright could face up to 10 years of prison time for each count.

Her attorney, Joseph Pricone of Mark B. Williams & Associates in Warrenton, said that the law firm will conduct its own investigation of the case and review evidence to best form a defense strategy before the October hearing.

When he goes outside to throw a football with friends, they have to

put on gloves. And when he and his buddies decide to play a game of Knockout, they’re only allowed to touch their own basketballs.

Still, he’s happy to be at camp.

Before it began, he was staying up all night playing video games and sleeping during the day. Camp,

which starts at 9 a.m., has given him back a regular schedule.

“It feels great,” he said. “I’m finally seeing sunlight. It’s been a long time.”

Asymptomatic cases may yield more false negatives TESTING, from page 1 ducted in Virginia since the pandemic began, including 19,350 in the health district that includes Fauquier County. However, the health director for the Rapidan-Rappahannock Health District and a local physician who oversees a testing program in Warrenton both cautioned that depending on several factors, diagnostic testing – tests that look for the active presence of the virus in an individual has the potential to miss some infections. That is, a negative test result does not necessarily mean an individual is not infected with the virus.

“For any test to be 100% sensitive is not very common,” said Dr. Wade Kartchner, the health director for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, which includes Fauquier County, “and when sensitivity of a test falls below 100%, this means that some negative tests are actually cases.” He said that false negatives are sometimes the result of human error, such as swabbing a patient incorrectly. Much of the variability, though, comes from when in relation to the onset of symptoms the test was conducted.

“Research shows that the likeliest time for a test to be positive when a patient actually has a disease is three days after symptoms start,” Kartchner said, elaborating later, “The sensitivity is not great prior to symptom onset, improves to 80% to 90% at around the third day after onset of symptoms, and then starts to decrease again after that.” He explained that, as the infection progresses from the third to the eighth day, the chances that a swab will retrieve enough of the virus’ signature to detect it are good.

Dr. Steven von Elten, a physician at Piedmont Family Practice who administers the coronavirus testing program at Piedmont Urgent Care, expanded on Kartchner’s assessment. Three days before the onset of symptoms, he said, it is highly unlikely a test will detect the presence of the virus, even if an individual has an active infection. Two days before the onset of symptoms, diagnostic testing only detects about 20% of active COVID-19 infections. Be-

Rapid tests in high demand

As of Monday, more than 9,000 tests have been conducted at Piedmont Urgent Care, according to Heather Groves, a physician assistant with the practice. Of those, more than 6,000 have been rapid antigen tests, with the remainder being PCR tests that have been sent to a lab.

The rapid test has been available at the clinic since May 28 and remains the only rapid-testing site in the health district. Of those seeking a rapid test, many patients seek that test specifically for work or travel authorizations. “The majority of these patients recently are younger patients who have traveled in large groups together,” Groves explained.

Groves said that generally most patients using the clinic’s curbside testing program are asymptomatic. On the other hand, “Patients that

DR. WADE KARTCHNER Health director, Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District

cause the virus emerged so recently and large-scale peer-reviewed studies are still relatively few, there is little consensus about the exact detection rate.

The sensitivity rate increases substantially as an individual begins to experience symptoms, von Elton said. If a person is swabbed during the first day, they are experiencing symptoms, the test detects about 60% of cases. By three to eight days after the onset of symptoms, the sensitivity rate rises to 80% or more. “If you’re symptomatic, you still have to stay home and isolate yourself,” von Elten recommended. “No test is 100% reliable.”

The swabbing method itself, von Elten explained, is also key in obtaining results that are as accurate as possible. The nasopharyngeal method used at his clinic is the most reliable method that is practical in a clinical setting, he said. von Elten said he worries about people who have tested negative getting “cavalier” and not taking precautions to prevent infecting others unknowingly.

Kartchner echoed this sentiment. “[I]f one is sick and has a negative PCR [test], the public health recommendation would still be to stay home until symptom-free for 72 hours.”

Both Kartchner and von Elten said that false positives – when a person tests positive for an infection when they do not actually have that infection present in their body – from diagnostic coronavirus testing are far less common and far less of a problem than false negatives, but are not unheard of.

“Since the PCR test uses unique genetic sequences are seen inside of our facility tend to present with symptoms,” she said. Other patients who come to the clinic for testing want to be re-tested to verify an earlier result, she said.

The vast majority of tests conducted at Piedmont Urgent Care in recent weeks have been using the rapid antigen method, von Elten said. For instance, on Sunday, all 150 individuals tested opted for the rapid test, and all but a few of the 248 tests conducted on Saturday used this method.

Piedmont Urgent Care is one of five testing sites in Fauquier County, according to the VDH. All are in Warrenton. The others are: Dominion Internal Medicine (225 Oak Springs Drive #201), GoWell Urgent Care (75 W. Lee Highway), Fauquier Free Clinic (35 Rock Pointe Lane) and Piedmont Pediatrics (20 Rock Pointe Lane).

Testing options

There are two main types of diagnostic tests.

About 90% of the tests conducted in Virginia so far have been real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, which detect the presence of the RNA structure of the virus itself; samples for these tests are sent to a dedicated lab for analysis. Cases from individuals who test positive for the novel coronavirus from a PCR test are counted as “confirmed” cases by the Virginia Department of Health.

A second type of test diagnostic, “rapid” antigen testing, detects proteins that are present on the surface of the virus; these tests can be conducted on site in about 15 minutes using a specialized machine, but are generally considered less sensitive than PCR tests. The Federal Drug Administration approved the first antigen test in May. In Virginia, positive test results from an antigen test are counted as “probable” cases.

Serology testing, which detects the presence of coronavirus antibodies in the blood, are far less common, less precise and far less useful in tracking the current spread of the virus, according to public health agencies. of the SARS-CoV2 virus, the specificity can approach 100%. This means that if one tests positive, they can reliably bank on having the illness. The greater issue is the sensitivity, since it relies on timing of the specimen and the technique used,” said Kartchner, adding that false-positive results can still arise from “cross-reactivity” with another strain of coronavirus or from simple human error, like mixing up samples.

“Rapid” antigen tests, Kartchner said, are typically less sensitive than PCR testing but are no more likely to produce a false positive. He said that the recommendation for individuals whose antigen test comes back negative but who are symptomatic is to be tested again with a PCR test.

It is less clear how much value antibody testing -- which measures the body’s response to a past infection and does not look for the infection itself -- is to an individual.

Kartchner explained, for instance, that false negatives from this type of testing can occur because not enough time has passed after an infection for an individual to develop antibodies. False positives can occur because the antibodies developed in response to other coronaviruses are very similar to those developed in response to the coronavirus discovered in 2019.

“A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19,” says the Centers for Disease Control website about antibody testing. “However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.”

In any case, there is no understanding so far as to how much – if any – immunity to future infections from the novel coronavirus antibodies provide, Kartchner said.

Warning of an ‘eviction tsunami,’ faith leaders urge Northam to act

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

As thousands of Virginians face the prospect of losing their homes during a pandemic, faith leaders are calling on Gov. Ralph Northam to halt thousands of evictions that are becoming more likely because housing assistance programs have been slow to start.

Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement, or VOICE, addressed the looming eviction crisis Friday and asked that Northam issue an executive order to temporarily halt eviction hearings until the state’s housing assistance program can be fully implemented.

The Rev. Keith Savage, VOICE co-chair and senior servant of First Baptist Church Manassas, said more time is needed to inform people at risk of not being able to make rent and mortgage payments about the various programs. Savage said bold action is needed from the governor to “address this eviction tsunami.”

“We need to allow time for better communication and outreach to address the barriers that exist, including a lack of staff and partner agencies,” Savage said. “We need time to get this right.”

In Fauquier County, 37 eviction hearings were scheduled for July.

Most of them were heard earlier in the month, but more than 10 have been scheduled for the final weeks of July. Fauquier County does not have a local housing assistance program for those impacted by the pandemic.

Supervisor Rick Gerhardt, R-Cedar Run, said using Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security

Act funding to adopt such a housing assistance program was not considered by the board of supervisors. But Gerhardt said he would support it if it is an allowable use.

In Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, more than 400 eviction hearings have been scheduled for the month of July. Local governments in all three locales have set up individual rent, mortgage and utility relief programs using CARES Act funds to help people struggling to make their payments because of the pandemic, which has left thousands of area residents out of work.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors allocated $8 million in CARES Act aid for housing assistance. But as of last Friday, only five households in Prince William have received funding from the housing assistance program out of a total 602 households that have applied for grants, according to the county’s Housing and Community Development Director Bill Lake.

Lake said the housing department is hiring three new staff members in August to help process the influx in applications.

Northam announced the Virginia Rent and Mortgage Relief Program on June 29, the day the state Supreme Court let the eviction moratorium expire. The state program aims to provide $50 million in aid to households facing eviction or fore-

closure as a result of the pandemic.

The Rev. Kristen McBrayer, of Emmaus United Church of Christ in Vienna, said that up to 58% of those facing eviction will “self-evict" because they fear what an eviction on their credit report will do to their chances of renting again. “The fear of eviction, without a moratorium that is very bold and clear, drives people from their homes,” McBrayer said.

VOICE leaders said Northam has the ability to temporarily halt evictions using an executive order. They cited the governor’s powers under a July 15 advisory opinion from Attorney General Mark Herring, which states that the branches of Virginia government, including the executive branch, “each possess tools that, depending on the facts and circumstances, may be used to aid those facing eviction.”

Herring wrote that the governor has statutory and executive authority to issue emergency orders, but “whether any particular executive order is an appropriate exercise of emergency power depends on the scope of the executive order and the facts and circumstances.”

Northam’s office did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

Bealeton man charged with brandishing firearm A Bealeton man was arrested July 17 and charged with brandishing a firearm, assault and possession of marijuana.

Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Steve Lewis reported that deputies arrived at a house on Aspen Way at about 7 p.m. last Friday and learned that two women had allegedly come to the home at the invitation of one of the residents “to pick up some things.”

Lewis said that another resident of the house, identified as Nicholas Galzerano, 28, did not want the two women there and became agitated. The two women told police that Galzerano ordered them out, Lewis reported. When they did not leave, Galzerano allegedly went upstairs and retrieved a handgun, which he used to threaten the two women, Lewis said.

He added, “the two females felt in fear for their lives.”

Galzerano was arrested on the three charges and has since been released on a $2,000 unsecured bond.

Students cope with a socially distanced summer SUMMER, from page 1 the camp since he was 6 years old, and normally there are a hundred other children there too. This year, because of the novel coronavirus, there are 18.

With school out in the middle of the pandemic, school-aged children everywhere have had to cope with canceled summer camps, online summer classes, lost internships and postponed vacations. That includes about 12,000 students in Fauquier, the vast majority of whom attend the county’s 20 public schools.

Online summer school at public schools is running through July 24, on a Monday through Thursday schedule.

As Virginia opens back up for business, some children are visiting friends for the first time in months, while others are still hanging back at home.

Recently, 10-year-old Bryce Hendrix’s mom and other parents in his neighborhood began to allow their children to play together. The rising fifth grader has been able to have friends over to jump on the trampoline and play video games.

But he has spent most of his time with his older sister, Samantha, who will be studying dance at Old Dominion University in the fall. “I will be sobbing my eyes out,” he predicted.

Samantha said her time watching movies, painting and staying up late talking with Bryce, whom she calls

her best friend, has been one good side effect of quarantine.

After graduation, Samantha and her friends were supposed to go to Disney World, but health concerns forced them to cancel the trip. As restrictions have lifted, they have organized a trip to Ocean City.

Graduated senior Ella Irvin and her friends enjoyed a vacation in Virginia Beach, where they spent the week reminiscing about high school. They even went out to dinner one night, and sat outside.

“It’s definitely hard being a senior and having all this going on, because we’re not going to see our friends again and this is our last chance to hang out with them and be together,” she said.

her grandparents own in Colonial Beach, Virginia. But this summer she’s at home babysitting her three younger siblings because their summer camps were canceled and their mom works.

She’s hoping as restrictions lift, she will still be able to help her grandparents, even though the restaurant’s small dining area is only able to sit half as many customers because of remaining coronavirus restrictions.

“I’m hoping by the end of the summer I can go down,” said Anna, who a rising sophomore. “They are good people down there.”

For students like Nathaniel Borgstrom, a rising ninth-grader, the summer hasn’t been too different from previous ones, he said. He usually stays inside and plays video games or reads.

This summer, Nathaniel has cooked dinner for his family every Monday night and recently spent five hours making pork dumplings for them. He also made a cake with yogurt instead of eggs and vegetable oil, he said, dissolving into giggles.

He ate almost all of it himself.

His biggest wish is that virtual classes end and students will be able to return to the classroom in the fall.

“I really hope it’s not online,” he said emphatically. “I really hope it’s not online!”

Meanwhile, at the Boys and Girls Club, Kaylee Stewart, 8, and her friend Hope, 9, whose parents preferred not to give her last name, were goofing around in the dining area. Nearby, Assistant Unit Director Sarah Hundley wiped down the chairs and tables with a bleach solution and kept an eye on the girls, occasionally reminding them to keep a distance from each other: “Six feet apart, girls!”

The girls said they’ve been practicing cartwheels, singing, comparing scrunchie collections and dancing a lot at camp -- even in the rain, Stewart said.

While the camp has brightened their summer, attending it has come with one painful trade-off for Hope.

She isn’t allowed to hug her grandparents because she is now exposed to people outside her family. The restriction was especially sad, she said, when she visited her grandpa for his birthday recently and had to tell him no when he asked for a hug and a kiss.

“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ I was so sad,” she said. “And he had a sad face.”

Kids adapt to wearing masks – for safety’s sake

Eight-year-old Tucker Biegler knows just what to do to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

His voice muffled under a galaxy-splattered mask, he ticked down the list on his fingers as he stood in Warrenton’s Food Lion parking lot: “One: Social distancing; Two: Wear a mask; Three: Hand sanitizer.” Plus, he said, masks can be comfortable — but not if they’re worn upside down.

“It basically provides a safe environment,” Tucker said, cocking his head from side to side. “It helps me and my community stay safe!”

For two months now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that everyone over the age of 2 wear a face mask in situations where staying 6 feet away from others is tricky.

That means kids have had to get used to a new accessory when running errands with their parents.

Most chain stores have begun selling child-sized masks.

Making this adjustment has been easier for some than others.

Nine-year-old Gannon McClung’s blue surgical mask hung loosely below his nose as he helped his mom grab a shopping cart at Food Lion’s entrance. He doesn’t like wearing it too much, he said.

It makes him hot — especially on days like Monday, when temperatures sailed up in the high 80s.

But he knows it’s important. “It protects you,” he said softly.

Wyatt Utt, a rising fifth-grader, has found wearing a mask generates other difficulties, besides making a hot day seem even hotter: When he put on his sunglasses, they fogged up real fast. The bottom of the mask can also get uncomfortable on his chin, he said.

Still, he said he straps one on any time he goes into a store — like the Walmart he stood outside of Monday — “to keep other people safe from my germs.”

Gabriela Warhurst, 11, doesn’t mind wearing a mask. It’s not terrible or even uncomfortable, she said. So, when she sees people walking around town or in stores without wearing one, she’s confused.

“It’s not that hard to just put on a mask,” she said.

Her sister Gretel agreed. She actually likes wearing a mask — it makes her feel safe.

“It feels good to wear a mask because it protects me from getting germs that way,” said Gretel, who is 9. “Also, I don’t spread any other germs to any other people.”

Back in the Food Lion parking lot, Tucker’s sister Leigh, 11, says masks can be comfortable to wear although they can get pretty warm sometimes. Nonetheless, she likes wearing them.

“It makes me feel that I’m keeping others safe,” she said.

PEC program delivers local beef to Fauquier food bank

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

On a recent Wednesday morning, the Fauquier Community Food Bank received a delivery of 50 pounds of ground beef from Lakota Ranch in Remington. The delivery is part of a pilot program by the Piedmont Environmental Council to connect more regional cattle farms to area food banks.

The program comes after the success of a similar effort developed in May, when the PEC facilitated the purchase of milk from a Reston-based dairy cooperative on behalf of local food banks.

Starting with a $5,000 grant from the PATH Foundation and more than $10,000 in private donations, cumulative contributions for the milk-distribution program now total more than $50,000, according to PEC Buy Fresh Buy Local Coordinator Matt Coyle. Currently, more than 1,000 gallons of milk per week are distributed among 19 food banks in eight counties.

Food bank demand remains high

“We couldn’t do this without this community. We wouldn’t be here,” said FCFB Executive Director Sharon Ames. Of the milk and beef programs specifically, she said, “It’s getting healthy food in [clients’] hands. … Not only are we taking care of the people who are hungry, it’s healthy. It’s not empty calories.”

Later, she added, “It’s absolutely a godsend.”

Food bank manager Cindi Carter added a similar sentiment. “We all get excited when we see that kind of stuff,” she said of the beef donation.

“It’s exciting to see that we’re going to

have stuff in the coolers for [clients].”

Ames said demand for the food bank’s services spiked in March, as the economic effects of the pandemic worsened. There are some limited signs that demand was down slightly in June, she said, but the need for the food bank’s services remains high.

She used those employed in landscaping jobs as an example: Will they still have work over the winter?

And, she said, the continued uncertainty about the opening of schools has put a significant strain on families with working parents. With children home from school long-term, it’s more difficult for parents to work enough to support the family. Additionally, if there is a resurgence in the spread of the virus, as has happened recently in other states, it could mean a new round of layoffs and economic hardships for working families.

Changes in funding for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program could also mean the food bank will need to serve more clients, Ames said. Emergency benefits under the SNAP program have been extended through July, but there is no guarantee the added funding will be extended beyond then.

“We have to think long-term,” Carter summarized.

One of the barriers to distributing locally produced meat products is the lack of processing facilities in the area. The PEC, along with the American Farmland Trust, have applied for a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant to study the feasibility of a meat processing plant located in the Piedmont region, the release said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The challenging decision to send children back to school Our national conversation about COVID-19 reads increasingly like a page taken from a Kafkaesque short story. The boundary between fact and fiction has become almost indistinguishable.

Unfortunately, we cannot indulge fiction in the real world where illusion can be costly.

July 13’s school board meeting was a striking example of that challenging dialogue.

As we prepare to transition children and teachers back into a school setting, we need to recognize and come to terms with those realities.

How we manage their re-entry should not be based on political persuasion, expediency, or the exigencies of partisan groups. It should not be based on fear or on the dangerous lack thereof.

We want our children back in school, but achieving that objective requires tremendous clarity and diligence as we attempt to understand real and evolving health risks.

As of July 15, more than 3 million people in the U.S. have tested positive for a virus that has no vaccine. That number is increasing at a rate of over 60,000 people a day. More than 140,000 people in the U.S. have died. Virginians account for more than 73,000 COVID-19 cases and nearly 2,000 related deaths (CDC, 2020). Numbers in most states are rising.

Though people 19 years and younger currently comprise a small portion of these infections, the median age of coronavirus patients has, in recent months, declined by 15 years. And while the elderly are more likely to die from the virus, they are not necessarily more likely to contract it (TIME, 2020). In some states, those between the ages of 20 and 44 account for nearly half of all COVID-19 cases (New York Times, 2020).

The arrow now pointing to younger populations is troubling.

Children do contract the virus and can suffer its most severe consequences. An overnight

camp in rural southwestern Missouri closed down earlier this month when 82 children and counselors tested positive for COVID-19. The number of infected people jumped from 49 to over 80 in a single weekend. A similar spread of the virus occurred among children at overnight camps in various parts of Texas (New York Times, 2020).

Instances like these should not go unnoticed as we ease restrictions.

Could the slow rise in adolescent and childhood cases be a simple matter of exposure? How will school children respond once they have been with other children on a regular basis for extended periods each day? These are questions we should ask when considering the impact of a virus we know so little about.

Even more unsettling is mounting evidence that this particular virus can have disturbing residual effects. Johns Hopkins is currently researching the puzzling relationship between COVID-19 and heart failure, abnormal heart rates, heart attacks, and cardiogenic shock (Johns Hopkins, 2020).

In a recent New England Journal of Medicine review, intensive care doctor Julie Helms and her colleagues in France document the growing number of COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms typical of brain damage: confusion, impaired cognition, seizures and strokes.

There are, in fact, more than 300 studies worldwide which reveal similar neurological responses in patients who have contracted the novel coronavirus (BBC, 2020).

Information should not incite fear; it should instead help us to make informed choices.

How do all of these unknowns factor into our decision to bring children back to school? Can we justify placing them in an environment that will increase their exposure to a virus we still

More time needed to review Warrenton’s comprehensive plan On June 15, the Town of Warrenton released its draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan draft, all 437 pages of it.

The town council plans to hold its public hearing on Sept. 8, potentially adopting the plan that night.

Our read on this important plan is that it outlines a new trajectory for the town, aspects of which are far too significant to be hastily decided.

The town seems to be in a rush to move the draft forward. When two planning commissioners on June 23 suggested taking more time for review, town staff discouraged delay, stating they “have a lot of people who are waiting on this document ... there will be zoning ordinance amendments that have to happen on the heels of this, depending on what’s decided.”

For this reason alone, the plan deserves ample time for review and scrutiny by the community members it will affect.

The plan increases residential housing in Warrenton by shifting

nearly all areas currently zoned for industrial and commercial use to by-right mixed-use zoning, which allows an unknown combination of residential, commercial and/or industrial development and eliminates Warrenton residents’ right to weigh in on development proposals within those zones. Therefore, it is paramount that residents know more about these by-right mixed-use areas before the plan and associated ordinances are adopted.

Language in the 437-page draft is ambiguous, and at times contradictory, about the types of housing the town intends. The plan expresses a need to increase affordable housing, and yet, it emphasizes that 60% of the new residential areas are slated for market-rate housing and lacks any specifics on retaining or setting aside affordable units.

The plan acknowledges a 0.39% annual population growth projection in Warrenton, yet it proposes See COMP PLAN, page 7

know so little about? Physicians often address a risk-gain ratio when they recommend treatments to patients. What similar standard of care are we using to make decisions about children returning to school?

No single solution will alleviate the inevitable hardships incurred by particular stakeholders committed to getting children back into the classroom. This is because public education has become an integral cog in the machinery supporting social and economic stability. It provides working parents with childcare; it addresses food insecurity; it monitors the physical and emotional wellbeing of students -- all while providing an education.

But that precedence may have reached a tipping point. Are we justified in putting children at risk to sustain the balance? Can we find more creative ways to meet those needs? Ones that do not exact such a high price of our public schools and the children they service?

Clearly, these underlying issues need to be confronted when we are no longer in the midst of a health crisis. We are facing an existential threat that demands an informed response. It is not the time to rely on intuition, personal bias, or hearsay.

We need to get our children back to school.

But asking them and their teachers to step into a viral vortex without doing everything possible to ensure their safety, without relying on the best and most complete knowledge at our disposal, or without waiting patiently until the time is right could be costly in ways we cannot fathom.

Nothing should unify us more as we confront the challenges at hand, or pursue the goals we hope to achieve, than safeguarding their welfare.

The real world demands nothing less.

CYNTHIA PRYOR Parent/grandparent, FCPS teacher, caregiver, concerned citizen Warrenton

Children need to be in school I was born in 1939, and I began kindergarten in South Bend, Indiana, in September 1944. My neighborhood school was six blocks from my home. My mother arranged for me to walk to school with three older neighbor children. World War II was raging; we had blackouts and rationing. My father, a physician, was serving far away in the U.S. Army.

We children went to school. Five days a week. There were no vaccines for influenza and a variety of childhood diseases: measles, chicken pox, mumps and whooping cough. During my grade-school years, I had all of them. And I recovered.

Polio was every mother’s nightmare. There was no vaccine, and the disease was crippling and life-threatening.

Sadly, some children who contracted these diseases died. Vital statistics compiled by the Centers for Disease Control in 1948, when the U.S. population was 146.6 million, reflect the following deaths

nationally: scarlet fever, 68; whooping cough, 1,146; measles, 888, poliomyelitis and polio encephalitis, 1,895. (Table 6- Deaths from selected causes (exclusive of stillbirths or deaths among armed forces). Nevertheless, children went to school.

If our parents were afraid for us, or for themselves, they never said so. Despite the disruptions and fears caused by the world war, families on the home front carried on, quietly and with patience. And after watching their elders, so did children.

Today, as school boards cower and citizens fret, wear their masks, and anxiously endure or avoid social contact, I wonder what has happened to my country.

For many reasons, children need to be in school. We are learning that children have a very low infection rate and do not appear to be transmitters of COVID-19. The odds are with them. The virus, we are told, attacks old people like me.

Summer school 2020 included more than 1,000 students Remote teaching techniques informed by lessons learned since March

Teacher Allyson Martin works with kindergarteners remotely.

By Angela Roberts

Special to the Fauquier Times

When Fauquier County Public Schools opened up summer school registration to all students a few weeks ago, more than 1,100 middle and high school students signed up.

Normally, summer school is only available to middle- and high-schoolers who need to retake a course in order to graduate. The usual number of summer school students is about 35.

“Everybody was very worried about students not having been in school since March,” said Blaire Conner, assistant principal of summer school. “It’s not that our students are behind ... but it’s that we wanted them to have the opportunity to continue learning in this current unique situation [caused by COVID-19].” Summer school 2020 started on July 6 and will end July 23.

To meet the demand for the summer program, the county hired 81 staff members instead of the four or so it typically brings on. To accommodate students with no or poor internet access, the district gave out 300 electronic devices and 200 internet hotspots so students could connect to the internet; those numbers were enough to serve every student who requested the equipment, said Conner.

School buses with hotspots continue to be parked throughout the county as well, and Hodge says the bandwidth of Wi-Fi at schools has been expanded so that students can access the internet from their parking lots.

The federal CARES Act, enacted to stimulate an economy brutalized by the coronavirus pandemic, has helped the school district cover the cost of the hiring blitz, as well as the hotspot devices.

Learning how to teach remotely

All instruction this summer is happening remotely for the first time. The result is a large, living laboratory for teachers and administrators to discover what works and what doesn’t as they finalize logistics for the coming school year.

Allyson Martin’s kindergarten class is one such laboratory, with a jam-packed hour of education four days a week via computer. Since the

second week of July, the class has talked about shapes and patterns and learned the spelling of different words, with lessons on manners and patience thrown in, too.

“They’re so cute to see on the screen,” said Martin, who teaches second grade at James G. Brumfield Elementary School in Warrenton. “Oh my gosh, it makes my teacher heart so happy.”

Summer school has been more rigorous than the instruction that happened virtually from March through May, Martin said. She expects her first-graders and kindergarteners to pay attention. She’s also introducing concepts that may be new to them.

When schools went online in the spring, the school district made assignments and expectations flexible to avoid adding more stress to the already disrupted lives of families. It distributed “choice boards” to families — a tic-tac-toe-like listing of educational activities to keep students busy. Martin said she taught a few “mini lessons” via video, but she mainly concentrated on reviewing basic concepts.

Brittany Hundley, who will be teaching third grade at Greenville Elementary School in Nokesville in the fall, agreed that the summer school experience is more demanding.

She and another Greenville teacher are sharing responsibility for a group of 85 students between kindergarten and fifth grade who are able to work more independently than Martin’s students. Hundley and her colleague mainly interact with their students over Google Classrooms rather than over video chat.

“It’s been really, really cool to see what the kids are creating and how they’re taking ownership and they’re learning and showcasing their strengths,” she said.

Hundley also helped create the curriculum for this year’s summer school program. Starting in the spring, a committee composed of teachers and

administrators planned how the virtual program should be run, incorporating lessons learned from what didn’t work online between March and May. For instance, summer school principal Michael Hodge said the biggest concern the school system heard from families was that there was too much variation in the way lessons were taught across the district. During summer school, he said, the school district has been trying to establish a common way of teaching across all grades.

Summer school teachers have also used their virtual teaching experience from the spring to make improvements, said Hodge, assistant principal for Southeastern Alternative School in Midland.

“Having that experience in their back pocket, and using that experience — along with feedback that they had been given at their own schools and by their own students — helped them to [decide] … how they would set up their virtual learning experience during the summertime,” he said.

Last week, the Fauquier County School Board approved a plan for the fall that will allow students to attend school in person two days per week and learn from home the other three, but Martin pointed out that much of the future remains unknown. What if there’s another surge of the coronavirus? What if Virginia’s governor shuts down schools again?

If this happens, Martin says her experience teaching summer school has prepared her to teach her students remotely.

“If a kindergartner or first-grader can sit for an hour, I know my second-graders can sit for an hour,” she said. “I can still do things I did in the regular classroom with them over the computer.”

At last week’s meeting, school Superintendent David Jeck said any schoolwork assigned on days students aren’t in the classroom, they will be able to be complete “with or without technology support” — a recognition of the spotty nature of internet access in the county.

Martin has learned to handle the county’s glitchy internet. When one of her student’s video connection would drop, Martin and her class just waited for the student to come back online.

Martin promised parents she will do whatever it takes to help her students, even if that means delivering lessons by phone.

“I’m not gonna leave a kid who doesn’t have access out just because they’re not there,” she said. “I will go beyond for any of my kids — no matter what.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR COMP PLAN, from page 6 costly water and wastewater expansions to accommodate a 2.3% annual growth rate. The mismatch suggests an intention to recruit new populations from surrounding jurisdictions to achieve a growth rate well above the town’s projected growth.

Furthermore, rather than do the difficult work of recycling failed strip mall development along U.S. 29, the plan proposes a bypass, through conserved land, around the western side of Warrenton by building out the Timber Fence Parkway and acquiring land for a new “Southern Parkway” from Va. 211 down to U.S. 29. The town seems to want residential growth without regard to the consequences in costs for services. And, if its ambitious growth goals are not realized, after investing in water and

wastewater expansions and a new bypass, existing taxpayers will be burdened with those costs.

These are some of the bigger issues in the plan that deserve thoughtful and transparent discussion.

The Piedmont Environmental Council calls on the town to slow down this process and consider that this major planning decision is being made during a pandemic.

Times like these require the town to actively pursue public input, which takes additional time and effort. Doing so will not only increase community buy-in, but will also ensure the plan truly reflects the community's desires.

The plan will be improved through the process, and Warrenton will be better for it.

We know that many children who don’t go to school and learn in a classroom will suffer intellectual, physical and emotional hardship.

Online learning doesn’t work with young children. They need in-person interaction with their teachers and their classmates. If this doesn’t occur, they will be denied an opportunity to grow and fulfill their God-given potential.

ANGELO’S LIST Highland’s Brizzi is recommended pick by USA’s elite basketball programs

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Angelo Brizzi’s summer has been red hot. And we’re not talking about the lengthy span of sultry temperatures.

Some of the nation’s top college men’s basketball programs have flooded the rising senior point guard from Highland School with scholarship offers, making him the most highly recruited boys player in Fauquier County history.

Brizzi, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound left-handed shooter, currently holds 32 Division I offers, encompassing 16 states and the District of Columbia.

What makes Brizzi so special?

Angelo Brizzi’s package of longrange shooting, quick first step and deft ball-handling ability gives him many advantages. Brizzi has a quick release set shot, which means he needs very little space. The lefthander can hit from nearly 25 feet.

Get too close to him and he will drive right past you to create other problems. He is smart, knows when to pass it back out and has finishing ability near the basket.

-Peter Brewington

By early April, he had 21 offers, mostly mid-major caliber. On April 9, his world changed when Villanova coach Jay Wright, whose Wildcats won the 2016 and 2018 NCAA championship, made an offer. More heavyweight schools followed.

“It was crazy for sure. It came out of nowhere,” Brizzi said of the conversation with Wright.

Georgetown also made an over-

Brizzi gained nine total scholarship tenders from Power 6 conference schools plus a pair of mid majors. “It was a wild period of

time,” he laughed.

Shorter seasons plan could save high school sports in ‘20-21 VHSL choosing from three distinct models

Next Monday, July 27, will be a fateful day for high school athletes across the state as they learn when they’ll play during the 2020-21 school year.

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Fauquier High baseball coach Matt O’Saben recently sent out a Twitter message to his prospective players to “get out of the Chick-fil-A line and pick up a bat and ball.”

O’Saben and hundreds of other spring sports coaches want their athletes ready in case a practical plan to flip-flop fall and spring sports is adopted by the Virginia High School League.

The VHSL will make a fateful decision involving the 2020-21 sports calendar on Monday, July 27. Three models are being considered: • Model 1 scraps football/volleyball/ field hockey/competition cheer for the entire year, but allows golf and cross country this fall. Winter and spring sports would follow with no restrictions.

• Model 2 involves switching spring sports to this fall. Under this scenario, baseball, softball, soccer, tennis, track and perhaps lacrosse would be waged this fall, with fall sports in the spring.

• Model 3, which appears the most popular and realistic, involves condensing all three seasons into a tighter time frame. Winter sports would run from Dec. 14 through Feb. 20. Fall sports would run from Feb. 15 through May 1 and spring sports from April 12 until June 26.

COURTESY PHOTO

The benefit of Model 3 is that it buys more time for the pandemic to recede, with every sport likely to be included. However, schedules would be reduced to 60% of normal, with state playoffs expected to be eliminated. There could also be overlap issues for athletes interested in playing multiple sports seasons.

On Tuesday, the 15 schools in the Northwestern and Dulles Districts which comprise Class 4 Region C said they would prefer to see the VHSL host cross country, golf, tennis, softball and baseball this fall.

However, that is not one of the models. Of the models proposed, the region supports Model 3.

Model 2, with spring sports moved to fall, doesn’t seem feasible due to the current state of the pandemic. Virginia is not cleared from Phase 3, and VHSL executive director Billy Haun has said all sports are a no-go while in Phase 3.

On July 15, the VHSL announced football, volleyball, field hockey and competition cheer would not be

played this fall due to pandemic concerns, then announced the three options. Coaches processed the news, and have been weighing in.

“Friday nights in the fall is a beautiful thing, but any opportunity they get to play I’m in favor of,” said Woodbridge High first-year football coach Alex Urquhart. “I’m excited to coach our kids in the fall or the spring.”

Fauquier volleyball coach Diana Story is still worried about the pandemic. “None of the three scenarios are ideal for any of us because we are still dealing with the unknown from the COVID,” she said. “If and when we can play, I’ll get my girls ready to play. Everybody in the state of Virginia is in the same boat and is going to have to work with whatever comes down.”

For many fall coaches, moving to a February-May window is a reprieve and gives them more time to practice.

“We told our Falcons that we are basically in spring ball getting ready

for the season similar to how college football works,” said Fauquier High football coach Karl Buckwalter. “As long as we can continue to move forward then we are ecstatic.”

With on-campus conditioning allowed in most parts of the state (although not in Prince William County), many coaches are enjoying interactions with players, although restrictive safety protocols are in place due to COVID-19.

“Our players, staff, and athletic trainers have done a phenomenal job with the adjusted workouts. It has been a joy being back on the field with everyone again. We will continue to train until we hear otherwise from the state,” said Kettle Run football coach Charlie Porterfield.

Woodbridge’s Urquhart said the Vikings are also getting a lot done, even if they can’t condition at school due to county restrictions.

“A lot of what we’re doing is virtual. Position meetings, meetings for offense, defense and special teams, and character development lessons,” said Urquhart. “I feel like we have a very solid group of kids buying in. If we set our culture right, they’ll go in the direction we want then to go in.”

Urquhart reiterated his support of Model 3.

“I’m leaning toward Model 3 where everyone gets a chance to participate. The biggest thing for me is the sense that we get to play football and all the sports get to participate.

We saw in the spring those sports getting cut. Those kids deserve an opportunity to play,” said the Vikings’ new football coach.

Falling by the wayside were Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, LSU, Georgetown, Bucknell, UNC-Wilmington, St. Joseph’s, Furman, Stetson, William & Mary, George Washington, Old Dominion, Yale, Navy, Lehigh, Fairfield, Drexel, Iona, LaSalle, Loyola (Md.), Brown, Columbia, Pepperdine and Howard.

Brizzi felt the move was prudent considering the recruiting calendar is off-kilter due to the pandemic.

“What’s going to happen with recruiting? And what’s going to be allowed due to the pandemic?” he said.

“I was completely open-ended even through April because I thought things might pick up in June or July.

Everyone was hopeful at that time, so there was no reason to make any moves and start to plan things out because nothing had happened.”

Brizzi, who played his freshman year for his uncle, Fauquier High coach Wayne Brizzi, has SAT scores over 1,400 and is interested in studying environmental science.

He stressed the door still is ajar for new suitors. “I’m still open technically. If somebody else jumped into the mix, sure, I would consider them.”

He has had two recent phone calls from University of North Carolina coach Roy Williams.

“The first time was ‘Whoa, this is Coach Williams.’ Obviously, I was excited. It was an honor to get a phone call from him,” said Brizzi.

He’s also in regular contact with staff at reigning national champion Virginia. “I’m not going to wait on any other school. I like what I have,” he continued of his eight choices.

“These are the ones I’m going to focus on.”

Brizzi plans to sign in the November early signing period. Normally, he would have conducted one or more of his five allowed official visits by now. But the NCAA has forbidden visits until Sept. 1. “I think that is going to get postponed,” he predicted, which could alter timelines even more.

Brizzi hopes to take all five trips before deciding, “but I can’t guarantee that.”

All of his suitors have praised his long-range shooting, he said, but many also noted other facets of his game. Those comments range from “hustle plays,” passing and defense.

Brizzi also prides himself for doing “the dirty work.”

Brizzi’s selection criteria include a team’s recent success, his relationships with a coaching staff and how they use players, particularly point guards.

Staying close to home is not a necessity, nor is immediate playing time.

Playing time is also a consideration. “I think anybody would want to be able to go in and have an early impact,” Brizzi admitted. “It’s nice to look and see if [early] playing time is available, but it’s not the [bottom line],” he said.

With a decision made, he’ll concentrate on his third season and fi-

land lost only one player, whetting the team’s appetite for a 2020-21 state title.

In Memoriam Tillie Ann Miller Hicok Tillie Ann Miller Hicok died suddenly on Saturday, June 27, 2020 at her home in Louisa, Virginia.

Tillie was born in Warrenton on November 24, 1945.

Tillie was predeceased by her parents, Reuben W. Miller and Arleane F. Miller Cantrell.

She is survived by her brother, Reuben (Tony) F. Miller of Midland, VA, and her two sisters, Pamela M. Jarrell of Adelaide, Australia and Peggy M. McWhinney of Macon, NC., and her husband David Hicok of Louisa VA. Tillie was a very special person. “She never met a person she did not know” was frequently said about her. She enjoyed helping others, being with children and was a good friend to everyone she met. Tillie moved away from Midland in 1963 and lived in Bethesda for many years. She later lived in various towns in Maryland and Virginia most recently in Louisa. Yet over these many years, Tillie never lost her love and connections to Midland, Fauquier County and all of her friends. She enjoyed doing “word find” in her leisure time. She was dedicated to her prayer and reading of the Bible, never missing a day no matter where she was. She had a special attachment to the Church of the Brethren in Midland where she maintained lifelong relationships. She will be missed by many, especially by her brother and sisters.

A LITTLE FRESH AIR CAN DO A WORLD OF GOOD It’s that time of year when everyone wants to get outside and go places.

Parks, beaches, hiking trails―they’re all calling to you. Unfortunately, they are calling to everyone, and those areas are becoming crowded with people, many of whom are choosing not to wear protective face masks. So, what to do? If you are able, seek out areas that are less well-known, where social distancing is easier. Now is the time to take the road less traveled. If that is not an option for you, just spending time reading in your backyard, on your terrace, or even in a comfy chair by an open window can fill your lungs with fresh air and help you feel invigorated and refreshed.

If you are in self-quarantine because you’ve been exposed to COVID-19, you can still get fresh air. Open windows or doors in your home. Enjoy a private balcony, patio, or yard of you have one.

Use sunscreen! Keep in mind that you don’t leave your home during quarantine to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

If you are in need of funeral or memorial services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Our funeral home has served Fauquier County and the surrounding areas since 1836. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

Jean Marjorie (Latimer) Peterbark, 73, of Chesapeake, VA, formerly of Rectortown, VA, passed on July 17, 2020.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, 11 am, July 25, 2020 at Joynes Funeral Home, 29 N. Third St., Warrenton, VA, 20186.

OBITUARIES Clarence B. “Ben” Sharar Clarence B. “Ben” Sharar, 92, entered into his eternal rest on June 9, 2020 surrounded by his family.

He was born on September 20, 1927 in York, PA to the late Harry G. and Metta M. Sharar.

In addition to his parents, Ben was preceded in death by his brother, Harry Sharar and his grandson,Michael Guimond, Jr. Ben served in the Army and the Army Reserves; serving in WWII and the Korean War. He retired from IBM after 25 years as a mechanical engineer. Ben was a member of Warrenton United Methodist Church and the American Legion. He was a true gentleman, who loved making people happy especially his great grand daughter, Alayna. He enjoyed the outdoors, playing games and especially loved playing golf.

Survivors include his beloved wife of 62 years, Celia Sharar; two daughters, Carolyn (Tony) Karaskiewicz of Texas and Linda (Michael) Guimond of South Carolina; two grandchildren, Amanda Guimond and Scott Lesniak; one great grand daughter, Alayna

Deborah Williams Friend Deborah Williams Friend, 68, of Midland, VA, departed this life on July 15, 2020. Deborah was born on May 20, 1952 in Richmond, Virginia to the late Catherine and David Williams, Sr. Deborah spent her childhood in Richmond, VA. She was baptized at an early age at the Mount Olivet Baptist Church. She graduated from Armstrong High School, Class of 1969 and continued her education by receiving a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Strayer University.

On February 28, 1971, she married the love of her life, Robert Wesley Friend, Sr. and from that union they had a son, Robert Friend and a daughter, Dawn Friend. Through Bob’s military opportunities, they were able to travel and live all over including Littleton, Massachusetts; Panama; Fort Carson, Colorado; Atlanta, Georgia; and Vint Hill Farm Station (Warrenton, VA)— finally relocating and settling in Midland, VA as home.

Deborah worked in accounting for over 31 years in local firms.

Before retiring, Deborah used her financial genius to run an accounting firm partnership, Small Business Enterprises, for over five years with her partner, Carole Ortmyer in Bealeton, VA. They handled all aspects of financial ventures from bookkeeping and corporate taxes to mentoring new businesses. The two women shared a twin passion for accounting and helping people!

Her incredibly special gift from God was cooking - she could cook ANYTHING!!! When asked, her husband of over 49 years says her specialty was EVERYTHING! Her son adds in that nobody cooked macaroni and cheese like his mom. Another favorite of the family was her amazing rum cake for the holidays!

She also loved to line dance, read (especially Stephen King), travel, buy clothes and fish. Bob says, “she loved to fish anywhere there was water and she baited her own hook”! She loved her family and would do anything she could for them. If something was going on in the family, you could always depend on Deborah and Bob to be there. She could always be found with Bob cooking on the grill or running the fish fryer with their beloved “Washington NFL team” aprons on! She will be truly missed.

Deborah was preceded in death by two brothers, Alvin Jerome Roots and Victor “Boo-Boo” Roots, and two sisters, Luedora Roots and Jill Roots. She is survived by her very devoted husband, Robert Friend, Sr.; son, Robert Friend, Jr., daughter, Dawn Friend; mother-in-law, Sadie Friend; brothers, David Williams, Jr. (Creola), Carroll Roots (Angela) and Carlton A. Roots, Sr. (Angela); sisters-in-law, Janice West (Charles) and Diane Roots; brothers-in-law, James Friend, Jr. and Noel Friend (Gisele); host of nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

A family visitation for Deborah’s Northern Virginia friends was held at Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, VA on Monday, July 20, 2020 from 7 to 9pm. On Wed., July 22, 2020, a limited walk-through viewing (due to covid-19 restrictions) was held from 11am to 5pm at March Funeral Home, 2110 E. Laburnum Ave., Richmond VA. Homegoing service will be held on Thursday, July 23, 2020 at 10:00am with viewing held one hour prior to the service. Burial will take place following the services at the Virginia Veterans Cemetery at Amelia, 10300 Pridesville Road, Amelia Courthouse, VA 23002.

Helen Trout Freeze Helen Trout Freeze passed away at the age of 99 1/2 on July 16, 2020, at her home in Gainesville, Virginia, after a lengthy illness of Dementia.

Helen Catherine Virginia Trout was born on January 30, 1921 in Libertytown, Maryland to Harry Trout and Hallie Lee Crum.

She is the oldest of six Children: herself, Dorothy Pauline Trout; Charles Josiah Trout, Harry Lee Trout, Harriet Stella Trout and Richard Harrison Trout.

She was a graduate of Walkersville High School, Walkersville, MD, Class of 1939. After high school, Helen relocated to Great Mills, MD, where she was a Switchboard Operator for The C&P Telephone Company. It was there that Helen met her husband, Alvin Harold Freeze and they were married on February 24, 1945 in Leonardtown, MD. In 1946 they welcomed a daughter, Andrea Gene Freeze.

Helen and Harold relocated to many places within the United States, with trailer in tow, due to his job. Helen would always find a job in whatever area they were located. Helen always had a full-time job, while keeping house and raising children. Being a full-time stay at home mom was not her thing. Helen loved to work outside of the home and be around people. She never made a stranger out of anyone.

After many years on the road, with Harold’s job, they finally settled in Annandale, Virginia in 1957, where Harold, worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator and Helen, as a full charge Bookkeeper. In 1961, they welcomed a son, Gregory Allen (Buddy) Freeze. In 1975, she lost her husband, Harold, to cancer.

Helen remained in Annandale, Virginia, working, until her retirement. She then relocated to Sebring, Florida, where the retirement lifestyle of traveling, teaching water aerobics; along with her annual trips, up north, to Virginia and Maryland, occupied her time, until age dictated that she should come home to Virginia; where she lived until her death.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband, Alvin Harold Freeze; her daughter, Andrea Gene Freeze Small; parents, and her three brothers: Charles, Harry, and Richard. She is survived by her son, Gregory Allen (Buddy) Freeze; daughter-in-law, Mary Larsen Freeze; grandson, Nathan Harold Freeze; two sisters: Dorothy Pauline Trout Fogle and Harriet Stella Trout Loose; along with many nieces and nephews.

Helen enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest.

Margaret L. Day On July 8, 2020, Margaret L. Day, loving wife, mother, sister and friend, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, at the age of 72.

Margy was born March 30, 1948, in Camp Lejeune, NC, to Walter Owens Day and Eileen Mitchell Day, the second of nine siblings. She graduated from Fauquier High School in Warrenton, VA, in 1966. After high school, she attended some college, and worked at Fauquier Community Action, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, among others. While working part time, she attained her Associate’s Degree in Business Administration at NOVA. After her children were in school, she worked at Prince William Hospital, first as a unit secretary in the ICU, and then developed her vascular ultrasound skills. She volunteered at Hospice, and at the Manassas Free Clinic. In 1990, she and her friend and coworker Carolyn Johnson opened the ultrasound lab at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton, VA. She became an accredited vascular technologist in 1994, and together they attained accreditation for the lab, one of the first in the state. Later, at Culpeper Hospital, and Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg, VA, she added echocardiography to her specialties.

She and her husband moved to Rappahannock County in 1999, on property that her grandmother had purchased the year of her birth. In 2005, she decided to focus on raising her goats, a childhood dream. She was passionate about her San Clemente Island Goats, an endangered breed that she tried to help proliferate.

She is predeceased by her parents, her cherished older brother Stephen Day, and her nephew Dugald. She is survived by her husband, Stephen Morse, her son Phillip Herzig, her daughter Kate Herzig, her brothers Robin, Donal, Vincent and Kevin Day, her sisters Lisa Day Eiland, Maureen and Johanna Day, her 13 nieces and nephews, her three grandchildren, and by her first husband, Raymond Herzig.

Margy loved finding box turtles in the woods, leading her goats to honeysuckle, train travel, food with friends, talking to old men, and most of all being with her large loving family.

Margy always seemed to find the hard-to-adopt dogs and brought them home to live out their intended lives. Please direct any contributions to RAWL (Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, www.rawldogs. org), or another no-kill shelter of your choice in your neighborhood.

There will be a private graveside ceremony in the near future, and a memorial service to be announced in the fall.
