Data Stream broadband network set to expand, but some customers say service is unreliable

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

An allocation of $1.2 million from funds received under the federal CARES Act, along with a $750,000 grant from the PATH Foundation, may enable Fauquier County’s wireless broadband network to expand beyond the 15 sites currently in operation (or planned) under a public-private initiative meant to expand access to fast Internet connections in rural areas of the county.

Teen suspect in Midland double homicide indicted on two counts of first-degree murder On Monday, a grand jury indicted Leviathan Norwood, 17, of Midland, on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder stemming from the shooting deaths of his mother and brother at their Midland home Feb. 14.

Norwood was also indicted on three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony and one count of grand theft of an automobile. According to court records, Norwood remains in custody.

The indictments handed down Monday were processed in Fauquier Circuit Court, indicating that Norwood will be tried as an adult.

The indictments are the first public information about the legal proceedings against Norwood since early March. Norwood’s case was initially processed in Fauquier County Juvenile and Domestic Relations General District Court, where proceedings are generally closed, and on March 5 a judge denied a motion to make those court proceedings public.

Norwood is accused of fatally shooting his mother, Jennifer Norwood, and his 6-year-old brother Wyatt in their home. He is also acSee NORWOOD, page 6 INSIDE Classified............................................23 Opinion...............................................12 Obituaries...........................................20 Puzzles...............................................14 Sports.................................................15

Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run) indicated that the communications tower adjacent to the CubeSmart storage facility in Amissville is one of the possible locations being explored but that no plan is set in stone. “What people have a hard time understanding is that we’re dealing with existing assets,” he added. That is, broadcast equipment is being mounted on towers or other high points that already exist, which can be difficult to find in remote areas.

County Administrator Paul McCulla confirmed Monday that the Amissville tower was being considered. The county is also “exploring options” in the Catlett area, he added, “but we have not settled on any locations.”

Representatives of Data Stream Mobile Technologies, the firm contracted by the county last year to expand internet access in the county, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Fauquier County Board of Supervisors approved a multi-million-dollar incentive program with Data Stream; the company would install signal-broadcast equipment on pre-existing towers, county-owned assets and water towers to reach rural areas with few or no other broadband options.

Schools reveal plan for sports, reopening

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

For anyone who had read the Fauquier County Public School’s dense 88-page Path to Reopening Plan, there were few surprises revealed at the school board meeting Monday night – until the last minute of “roundtable” time, four-and-a-half hours after the meeting’s 6 p.m. start.

School board member Suzanne Sloane (Scott District) announced that the Virginia High School League had voted on a condensed school sports schedule Monday. She said that the first high school sports season of the school year will include “winter” sports (basketball, indoor track, swimming, wrestling) and would begin Dec. 14, with the first contest date Dec. 28.

Sports usually held in the fall (football, cheerleading, cross country, field hockey, golf and volleyball) will begin Feb. 15 to May 1, 2021. The first contest date would be March 1, 2021.

Traditionally “spring” sports (baseball, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis and track and field) will be held April 12 to June 26, 2021 – after the last day of school. The first contest date in the spring will be April 26, 2021.

FEA demonstrates for 100% virtual learning

Out in front of Fauquier High School before the school board meeting, 40 or so members of the Fauquier Educators Association – all in masks – demonstrated their concerns with the blended opening

that the school board approved at its last meeting. Karen Yergin, eighthgrade teacher at Auburn Middle School, said, “I just don’t see how we can do it and still be safe.”

Kirk Goolsby, who teaches at Northern Virginia Community College and is married to a Brumfield Elementary School reading specialist, argued, “virtual is the only practical way to do it.” He predicted that once the schools open, if someone comes down with COVID, they’ll have to quarantine the other kids in the class and the teacher, and everyone they’ve

come in contact with. “It will go virtual anyway, very quickly,” he said.

Annaliese Goolsby, 11, who attends Brumfield Elementary, said that she “misses her friends, but it’s not worth getting sick.”

The reopening plan was revealed in painstaking detail Monday night, but the school administration is braced for hundreds of more questions about specific circumstances.

Fauquier Times updates its subscription model for fauquier.com The Fauquier Times recently instituted a paywall on its Fauquier.com website that asks readers to pay to read articles -- after the first four free stories -- each month. It’s a move that publisher Catherine Nelson calls necessary.

She said, “We are joining the growing list of newspapers that have come to the realization that we cannot continue to provide all our news content for free. Particularly now that the pandemic has reduced the number of advertisers that need to reach readers through our platform, we will have to charge a small fee for our online content. The free model has, unfortunately, become unsustainable.

“This is the least impactful solution if we want to keep the lights on and pay our employees to produce original, well-researched local Fauquier County content.”

How does it work?

Those who already subscribe to the print edition of the newspaper will continue to have free access to

all website content, as well as to the digital edition of the print paper that publishes on Wednesdays. To secure free access, subscribers will have to register for an account online; this is free.

Once registered for an account, subscribers can click on the “Get Started” next to the FREE subscription option and enter the same address they use for billing/delivery.

That will enable free access to all website con-

tent for the length of their subscription.

Anyone who is not already a subscriber will -after clicking on the first four free articles – be asked to pay $4 a month for unlimited access to the Fauquier.com website. That introductory offer will be good for 90 days. After three months at $4 a month, the regular subscription rate will apply.

That rate is $80 a year, which comes out to about $6.66 a month.

Those who choose to subscribe for a year ($80) or two ($142) will be able to receive a print paper if they choose, have access to the weekly digital version of the print paper and also full access to the website.

All stories that appear in the print paper are posted to Fauquier.com each week; numerous web-only stories also appear each day. Nelson said, “Although the Fauquier Times is a weekly newspaper, our reporters cover the news of the county every day. Our website is a robust and upto-date chronicle of the news of Fauquier County.”

Residents get first look at design for $12 million middle school construction

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Bill Bradley and Camillo Bearman, of the Stantec architectural and design firm, offered a glimpse at what southern Fauquier residents can expect Cedar Lee Middle School to look like after its renovation and expansion.

The project will add capacity for 300 to 350 students to the Bealeton school, and is expected to be finished in time for the start of school in 2022.

The webinar was presented July 25 via Zoom. Bradley provided details and answered questions in English. Camillo provided the same in Spanish.

Bradley shared some floor plans and schematic drawings of the design plans so far. The diagrams showed a very different Cedar Lee footprint, especially in the front of the middle school.

For instance, the new design would replace the current inefficient bus loop with a separate pick-up/drop off loop and visitors parking lot, and a more spacious bus loop that is big enough to accommodate 16 buses.

The new layout was made possible when the school division purchased property in front of the school with the expansion in mind.

Another big change previewed Thursday is a one-story, 12-classroom addition at the front of the school. The classrooms in this section would open into a courtyard that could be used for myriad purposes.

The front of the building would also see a new, secure entrance that would lead into an expanded admin-

istration area.

An auxiliary gymnasium at the back of the building, near the main gymnasium would accommodate the increased student body. An expansion of the cafeteria area will be able to serve one full grade level at a time and expand room for serving lines and food storage.

Adequate custodial/utility and teacher support areas will be included as well, said Bradley.

Timeline

Design work on the $12 million construction project began in June but was somewhat hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bradley said, though, that the project completion date is still intact. The $12 million figure does not include furniture, technology and other costs that will be required; the total cost is estimated to be closer to $17 million.

Final design plans will be presented to the school board in January 2021, Bradley said. Bids will be solicited in February and March and construction will begin when school lets out in the spring. Construction will continue through the school year into the next summer.

A selection of questions from the Zoom audience

Q: Will there be a turn lane off U.S. 17?

A: Bradley said that although discussions have been held with the Virginia Department of Transportation, a turn lane may not be strictly necessary and would be very expensive. Bradley said, “I’d See CEDAR LEE, page 5

In Virginia, turnout among eligible voters has been higher than 45% in only five of the 12 elections since 2008 -- and in many elections, much lower.

To make it easier for every citizen to vote in this year's November election, especially in light of the difficulties currently posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a coalition of churches in the Markham-HumeOrlean area is partnering to help residents: • Register to vote • Apply for an absentee ballot • Check on the location of their polling place • Verify and/or update their voter registration information Voter registration forms will be available, or residents may choose register online at the event. A voter registration notification will be mailed to residents to confirm their registration. Absentee ballots may also be requested through online services.

All events will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hume Ruritan Park, 12032 Hume Road. Sessions will be Aug. 8 and Sept. 12 and 19.

No reservations are necessary, but masks are required.

FCPS hosts immunization clinics for middle school students

Fauquier County Public Schools will host four drive-thru immunization clinics at middle schools to provide the TDAP, meningitis and HPV immunizations to rising seventh-graders, according to a news release.

The clinics will take place in the bus loops, and students will remain in their cars. The clinic schedule is as follows: • Thursday, July 30, at Warrenton Middle School from 9 to 11 a.m.

• Thursday, July 30, at Auburn Middle School from 2 to 4 p.m.

Residents comment on Warrenton’s draft comprehensive plan at planning commission public hearing

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Warrenton residents were invited to weigh in on the town’s draft comprehensive plan during a public hearing at a town of Warrenton planning commission meeting July 21. Eight residents took the opportunity to speak before the planning commission in person, and others submitted written comments.

Three of the eight public hearing speakers addressed concerns with their Oliver City neighborhood; three – two of them representatives of local nonprofits and one a local realtor -- spoke in favor of the plan’s focus on diversifying housing options. And two of the speakers spoke in emphatic tones about the dangers of by-right zoning and the unwelcome and uncontrolled growth it could bring.

Jaffrey said, “We need utilities and signage. We have no lighting, no sidewalks, no clean water.”

She pointed out that there are protections for Haiti Street, Culpeper Street, Falmouth Street, but “what about Oliver City?”

Lewis said that the comprehensive plan should be amended to include a plan to provide sewer, water and lighting for Oliver City. “How can you address the needs of future citizens when you are not addressing the needs of current citizens?”

Planning commissioners Ryan Stewart, Mark Moore, Susan Helander, Ali Zarabi, James Lawrence and Gerald Johnson were in attendance at the meeting. Town Planning Manager Denise Harris gave a brief introduction to the draft comprehensive plan, although the planning commission has already held two work sessions to work through the more than 400-page document. Another work session will be held July 28 and the commission is expected to vote on the comp plan in August.

After the planning commission weighs in, the comp plan will be discussed by town council members beginning in September. The town council will also host a public hearing.

Data Stream broadband network set to expand

A COVID-19 snapshot Tuesday, July 28

New cases of coronavirus The towers marked in green are currently operational; the ones marked in red are planned.

BROADBAND, from page 1 Data Stream signal is currently be broadcast for subscribers from eight points in the county. According to Gerhardt, an additional seven broadcast points are set to be operational

by September. (See map.)

Data Stream receives $235,000 for each broadcast site put into operation in additional to reimbursements for rental fees and staffing. County residents receive a discounted rate on monthly for the Internet service, and the county receives 20% of that subscriber revenue.

To date, Fauquier County has paid Data Stream $2.45 million as part of the initiative, part of about $3.9 million supervisors have approved for the broadband expansion program, according to Deputy County Administrator Erin Kozanecki. Of the total funding, the PATH Foundation contributed $460,000 before it announced an additional $750,000 grant announced this month. The PATH contributions, and more recently federal CARES Act funding, reduce the amount of cash expenditures required of the county, Kozanecki said.

Data Stream customers in Casanova say outages common

In 2018, Dee Dee Kanney, of Casanova, was one of the first custom-

ers whose home was connected to the broadband signal broadcast from a 145-foot tower on Casanova Road.

The tower is “two fields away” from Kanney’s home.

The service, then provided by Omnipoint Technologies – a company that has since been absorbed by Data Stream – “is such a boon,” she told the Fauquier Times in July 2019.

Speaking last week, she was far less enthusiastic. “What a difference a year makes,” she said. At first, she emphasized, the internet service was reliable and fast. “Then,” she sighed, “they put up other towers.”

She said that each time a new tower is added to Data Stream’s network, the service at her house gets slower and more unreliable. “It’s been absolutely horrendous. We haven’t had service we can count on at all.”

She added that “it seems like it goes

down almost on the hour now,” a reality punctuated each time she tries to use her Alexa smart speaker and it responds, “I am having trouble connecting to the Internet.”

She emphasized repeatedly, however, that she has nothing but good things to say about her many interactions with the company’s support staff.Jennifer Coates, also of Casanova, told a similar story of her experience since she became a Data Stream customer in January. “For the most part, it’s been a positive experience.

When it’s working, we love it.”

But it doesn’t always work, she said, sometimes going down for days at a time. Because of this, she pays a monthly fee for a Verizon mobile hotspot as a backup. “Data Stream is doing the best they can,” she said, “but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired.”

Another Casanova resident, Charlene Moore, was one of the first to connect to the tower there in 2018.

“The first year or so, it was good,” she said of her experience. “This last year, it’s been terrible, terrible, terrible.” When she spoke to the Fauquier Times Friday, her service had been down for a week.

Her grandson, a student at Lord Fairfax Community College, lives with her and had to travel to find a public Wi-Fi hotspot after their Data Stream service went down during his finals week this spring. Because of the frequent outages, she pays for extra data on her grandson’s phone so he can use it as a hotspot when Data Stream is down. “I’m paying twice,” she said, “just so my grandson can do homework at night.”

Though Data Stream representatives did not respond to requests for comment for this story, a June 21 email to Data Stream customers from Charles Thomas, the company’s director of operations, hinted at service interruptions described by some customers.

“We … want to thank you for your extreme patience during our network upgrade last week,” the email said. … Many of you experienced multiple downtimes as the system synced.”

The email promised “high up-time consistent service” going forward but alluded to deficiencies in providing customer service. “We are listening, and we get it. Our customer service area needs additional attention, especially in cases like last week.”

PUBLIC SAFETY Warrenton man charged with possesion of child pornography

A Warrenton man has been charged with three counts of possession of child pornography, said Warrenton Police Department spokeswoman Officer Chai Fuller.

She said that Kenneth D. Compton, 30, was arrested within town limits on Thursday, July 23, by Warrenton Police detectives. He was released on a personal recognizance bond, Fuller said.

The investigation began when detectives received information that Compton was in possession of child pornography. A search warrant was executed at an address within the town and evidence was recovered, the spokeswoman said.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Cpl. Det. Mike Gemmell at 540347-1107, ext. 245 or at mgemmell@warrentonva.gov.

Fauquier deputy tests positive for COVID-19

A Fauquier County deputy has tested positive for COVID -19, according to Fauquier County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Steve Lewis.

Lewis said that the deputy was exposed to the novel coronavirus "in a non-work-related environment." Contact tracing is being conducted internally and externally; those individuals he had

close contact with are being notified.

Lewis confirmed that the FCSO "is following all the proper protocol and procedures to ensure this exposure has not affected any other personnel, families or the general public."

No other information was released about the deputy or his condition.

School board details fall reopening plan

Superintendent of Schools David Jeck opens the school board meeting.

SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1

Highlights from the FCPS reopening plan

• The first day of school will be Monday, Aug. 24.

• Those who choose to participate in in-person learning will be grouped (group A or group B) to attend either Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday. Grouping will be done by last name. Wednesday is a remote day for all, when teachers will offer remote assistance during office hours.

• On Wednesdays, classrooms and common areas will receive a thorough cleaning; teachers will hold office hours to help students and will receive professional training.

• In-person days will be mostly structured like normal school days, into periods for middle schoolers and block for high schoolers, for instance.

• Mountain Vista Governor’s School will begin with online instruction starting Aug. 10 as previously scheduled. Graded instruction will begin August 17. MVGS is tentatively planning to start a hybrid two-day face to face model in September. MVGS instruction will be scheduled for the mornings to allow for student participation in other courses third and fourth block on their designated days as is typical practice.

• Teachers will receive free child care for any child between the ages of 4 to 11, while they are teaching in-person classes. About 400 children will need child care, according to current estimates.

• All students and staff will be required to wear face coverings while at school. Students will also be required to wear a face covering while riding the bus. FCPS staff will address any concerns about meeting this requirement on a case by case basis.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL

• All students and staff will maintain social distancing to the extent possible. The goal is to maintain a minimum of 6 feet of social distance, but FCPS cannot provide any assurances that this is possible at all times.

• When transitioning students from class to class, student release from the classrooms will be staggered so fewer students will be in the hallways at the same time.

• Depending on the school, the goal will be to have students eat in the cafeteria if social distance can be maintained.

• In elementary schools, there will be a recess period every day.

• Parents and students will be encouraged to access Blackboard for assignments and instruction.

Through Blackboard, they may find links to other platforms.

• 100% remote learners will be taught by FCPS teachers, who will be able to access Virtual Virginia materials to assist in their lessons.

Pacing, assignments and grading will be through FCPS. • The emphasis will be on project-based learning, so that children can continue to learn and work on assignments when they are working virtually.

• Virginia has lifted some state-mandated requirements, so schools are not expected to cover all previously required materials.

Teachers may choose the most important concepts to focus on.

• Students in grades three to 12 may choose a letter grade or pass/fail for their final grades.

• 7,800 Chromebooks and hundreds of internet hotspots could be distributed to students to help with remote learning.

• Special education students will attend school four days a week, unless their parents decide that is not the best option for them.

• All employees and students will be required to stay home when they are sick. Sick employees must leave school campuses immediately. Parents are advised to pick up sick students within 30 minutes.

• Every clinic and isolation room will have a HEPA air purifier which filters up to 0.1 micron and will be effective in filtering out bacteria and virus.

• School nurses will have appropriate PPE, which includes gloves, mask, face shield and gowns.

• Teachers may contact the school nurse prior to sending the student to the office if they are uncertain or need guidance about student care.

Nurses will give the student an appointment time or come to the classroom. Students should be triaged before they come to the clinic.

• School nurses will have a rolling cart to make classroom visits when necessary.

• Staff will be cross trained to assist in the clinic when necessary.

• If students or staff arrive at the clinic, potentially feeling ill with COVID-19 symptoms, they will immediately be relocated to an isolation area.

• In order to prevent students from coming into the clinic unless absolutely necessary, parents are asked to give all medications to students at home. If a student needs medication during the school day, parents are asked to see if their physician will complete the self-medication form so the child may carry their own medication.

• Nebulizer treatments cannot be given at school this year because of the medications being dispersed in the air. Parents can talk with their physicians to get their child's treatment changed.

• On buses, students will sit one to a seat, alternating window and aisle seats. Students will enter buses from the back and leave from the

front, to avoid passing one another as they come and go.

• The limited seating on buses will require that buses make 40 to 50 double runs daily – bus drivers will deliver students to school, then return to neighborhoods to pick up a second group of students.

• Every FCPS employee will be provided with two cloth masks and a reusable face shield. Employees who work in higher risk areas will have other PPE available for their use.

• Children and staff will be encouraged to limit sharing of any items in the school.

• All field trips are canceled until further notice.

• More custodians will be hired to help keep up with enhanced sanitation measures.

More than 100 FCPS employees have contacted the human resources department regarding return-towork concerns. Options for employees with concerns are: • Virtual assignment (Priority will be given to those certified employees with a medical condition or are considered high-risk under CDC guidelines. Medical documentation is required.)

• Family and Medical Leave (Eligible employees may take up to 12 weeks of job protected leave for an employee’s own serious medical condition or to care for a family member.)

• Leave of Absence (Leave of Absence for the 2020-2021 school year) The school division will turn in its plan to the state next week, as required.

Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District epidemiologist Daniel Farrell and population health expert April Achter were at the school board meeting to answer questions about opening schools while the novel coronavirus is still active. Achter said, “We will have cases in the schools, but we don’t recommend a complete shutdown when that happens. If we close classrooms because of one case, we might as well not open.”

She stressed, “Hygiene is important, but person-to-person spread from close contact between people is most common. The most important thing is to keep people physically distant from one another.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Virginia takes steps to make voting easier amid pandemic General election is 100 days away

TREVOR POTTER

We are now within 100 days of Nov. 3, the day of the general election. Although we may not yet know exactly how bad the coronavirus will be in Virginia in November, we already know that this year’s presidential election will look different.

Primary elections this year highlighted a number of challenges voters and election administrators face in the middle of a pandemic — some states closed many in-person polling stations, had hours-long lines, and had trouble getting absentee ballots to voters and back to election officials on time.

In addition, some neighboring cities have had civil disturbances that could interfere with voting.

Richmond has extended its state of emergency order in light of violent clashes between protestors and police in June. In Washington D.C.’s June primaries, a curfew sowed confusion over whether people could go out to vote during a stay at home order; this certainly disenfranchised some voters.

Fortunately, Virginia is moving in the right direction. In early July, a series of state-wide election reforms became law; they will improve access to the ballot for many Virginians. Among the most critical of these is no-excuse absentee voting, which means any Virginian can vote by mail for whatever reason — the same policy that the vast majority of states now have.

With these new laws now in effect, every Virginia voter will now have the option to send their ballot in by mail, rather than confront a

potentially crowded polling place.

There are nine states (comprising 25% of the population of the country) where the ability to vote from home during the pandemic is still up in the air. States that require voters to vote in-person unless they have an acceptable “excuse” (usually being away on travel, or medically unable to vote) are left wondering whether the fear of getting infected with COVID at the polls qualifies as a medical excuse; officials of several states are arguing that it does not. This question is now in the courts in several of those states.

Unfortunately, the right to vote by mail has become polarized this year because of ongoing attacks on mail balloting by President Donald Trump. These attacks put local Republican party officials in an awkward position; the Republican party has traditionally spent significant resources in key states encouraging reliable Republicans to vote early and vote by mail — to try to get as much of the Republican vote in ahead of election day as possible.

As general counsel for John McCain’s presidential campaign in 2008, I spent a great deal of time working with the Republican National Committee to get out the vote absentee mail campaigns in states with large Republican voting blocs — especially retirees in California, Arizona and Florida — all states

Mail-in ballots available now

The Virginia deadline to request a mail ballot is Oct. 23, but absentee ballots can be mailed as early as Sep. 18. Voters can request a ballot now, by logging onto the citizen portal on the Virginia Department of Elections website, or by calling the registrar’s office at 540-422-8290. Anyone who prefers to vote in person can still do that in advance of the election: Fauquier residents can vote at the Office of the General Registrar starting Sept. 18, as well. The Office of the General Registrar is located at 528 Waterloo Road, Suite 200, Warrenton. that encourage voting by mail.

The president’s stated objections are that voting by mail is not secure and will lead to widespread fraud, including the potential for foreign enemies to flood election officials with forged printed ballots sent in by mail.

In reality, this country has been voting by mail without serious problems since the Civil War, when troops on the battlefield were first offered a way to vote in the presidential election of 1864.

President Ronald Reagan signed a major expansion of vote by mail for U.S. troops and citizens living overseas. Today, five states vote entirely by mail: Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington have been doing so for a while, and Hawaii switched to mail elections starting with the 2020 primary.

They all have strong security systems incorporated into their vote by mail programs. Voters receive ballots at their home address, make their choices, then place them in a blank envelope for anonymity — and then place that envelope in a bigger outside envelope with personal identifying information on it — usually their signature, sometimes a state printed bar code.

Election officials check the signature and other information before allowing the ballot to be removed and counted — and contact the vot-

er if they have any concerns about their identity and the validity of the ballot.

The record shows that the very few people who try to steal and forge mail ballots get caught and prosecuted because of these security procedures. Such verification procedures make the idea that foreign countries could successfully manufacture millions of fake ballots that would be counted impossible — they would be screened out for a lack of signature match or otherwise detected on arrival because of incorrect bar codes, missing birthdates, etc.

There may be fewer than 100 days left until Election Day, but voting starts much sooner for Virginians. Now is the time to check your voter registration status and apply for an absentee ballot.

Trevor Potter, a Fauquier resident, is president of the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan election law organization that serves a leading role in the public advocacy for fair maps in Virginia and has taken legal challenges to gerrymanders to the U.S. Supreme Court. Potter previously served as Republican chairman of the Federal Election Commission and was general counsel for John McCain (R-Arizona) in his campaigns for president and U.S. Senate.

A letter to the Fauquier County School Board and division superintendent I am appalled by what I witnessed at the 13 July school board meeting, and I am not alone. While many parents are now looking at other education options for their children, such as private schools or homeschooling, I am still hopeful that reason and common sense will win the day.

Your role as a school board is to provide a framework of rules and guidelines for school system administration affecting major educational issues. Your role is to listen to your stakeholders, operate with integrity and help create an equitable educational environment where each student is provided the opportunity to reach their God-given potential. Your actions at the 13 July school board meeting failed to meet any of these standards.

Mr. [David] Jeck and this school board continue to speak about the stakeholders. Your stakeholders are Fauquier students and staff. Students consist of 85% of your stakeholders. Your largest stakeholder, by far, voted for the four-day model

in your most recent survey. I would speculate Fauquier families would have voted for the traditional, five-day model, but you never even provided that as an option on either of your surveys. Then, on July 13, 23 individuals took time out of their day and prioritized your meeting to voice their concerns during citizen's time. Not a single parent or student voiced support for the A/B model. Not one. Only staff supports the A/B model - your 15% stakeholders. Yet, amazingly, you failed to listen to your stakeholders and voted, unanimously, for this ridiculous A/B model.

Following citizen's time during the 13 July school board meeting, multiple board members stated that they had not already made up their mind regarding their vote. Parents posed a litany of comments and questions to you. Yet, mere minutes after citizen's time ended, board members read from their prepared statements. Less than 18 minutes after citizen's time ended, this school board unanimously voted against the voice of the majority of Fauquier parents. You

could not have considered all that was offered in any serious way in such a short amount of time. Fauquier families expect you to operate with integrity. You did not.

We continue to hear you argue that you are following the data and science. Again, just this week, Mr. Jeck stated that his team will reassess the A/B model based on the pandemic and school community. What is there to reassess? Based on the data, the environment cannot get much better than it is. Fauquier County has had only eight deaths related to COVID-19. This board has unanimously decided to upend our school community, family homes and schedules, based on eight deaths. This is remarkable.

In 2018, Fauquier County had 518 total deaths. Upending our community over a cause of death that accounts for less than 2% of all deaths in the county is not a wise decision. By this logic, you ought to have closed schools for See SUPERINTENDENT, page 9

Local teachers union now supports all-virtual instruction model to start academic year

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier Education Association, the local branch of the state’s largest educators union, now supports starting the academic year with a 100% virtual model. Citing results from a survey this week of its members and a growing number of new cases of the novel coronavirus around the state, the association’s official position has changed; the FEA previously signaled support for the “blended” model that was approved by school board members July 13. “[I]t is clear from the data in our membership survey that many concerns and questions still revolve around [the blended] plan,” said a July 23 open letter from the chapter’s leadership to school board members and Superintendent of Schools David Jeck. The letter argued that, with completely virtual instruction, “we can allow educators to give a quality education without the daily distraction of fear and without the risk of losing their life or the life of a loved one.”

The letter urged school board members to re-

consider at their July 27 meeting their previous decision to begin the year with some in-person instruction. The push for a completely virtual instruction model follows decisions by nearby school divisions in Prince William County, Loudoun County, the city of Manassas and Fairfax County, all of which will begin the academic year with an all-virtual model.

Of the 325 union members who responded to the survey, 89% supported starting the year with completely virtual instruction, according to a statement from FEA leadership Friday morning.

“We also would like to note numerous staff who are not members of our association have reached out with their concerns and support for 100% virtual as well,” the statement said.

The survey also asked members if they supported the blended instructional model approved by the school board, and 34% said they did. “In breaking out the data with comments, it was clear that the majority of that 34% would support a plan with the county, however that they strongly support [entirely virtual instruction] if choosing between the two options,” the statement said.

9

Attached to the statement were a number of quotes from school division employees’ responses to the comment section of the survey. These responses referenced, among other concerns, the difficulty of enforcing physical distancing among students, health risks for teachers and a concern that the cleaning measures necessary under the blended plan would place an undue burden on custodial staff.

“I am very afraid of parents sending sick kids to school. We know this happens regularly,” said one comment.

“Social distancing does not exist with small children,” said another.

Another survey respondent said they felt “forced into returning [to work] under circumstances no other workplace would fathom,” adding that students and staff “should not be the guinea pigs to see if our economy can handle reopening!”

A transportation worker cited concerns about wearing masks in the summer heat at the beginning of the school year. They added, “As a parent, I am concerned about sending my children back into an environment that is unequally populated by those who see the need to mask and take precautions, and those who think that the whole virus is a hoax.”

Residents comment on Warrenton’s draft comprehensive plan at planning commission public hearing COMP PLAN, from page 3 Planning commissioners said after the Tuesday meeting that they were glad to hear from residents but were anticipating a larger turnout. Harris said that written comments may still be submitted, and residents will have another chance to express their opinions before the town council.

“That’s good,” said planning chair Helander.

“This is a plan for everyone.”

Other comments

A few residents chose to express themselves on the comments section of the Facebook Live thread that was used to livestream the meeting.

James Brown wrote, “The PEC had many good points that addressed many concerns about this plan. I am frustrated in many aspects of the plan and feel that there is too much focus on competing

with NOVA localities. Many of us did not move here to be in the throes of NOVA. I hope they listen to the concerns and make considerations for those.”

Travis Rogers added, “There’s a fine line between financial stability within the town’s economy and maintaining the very fabric of why many have chosen to live in Warrenton. I work in Chantilly and recently moved to Warrenton from Haymarket. I chose a longer drive because Fauquier County is better than PWC in many ways, and Warrenton is a great mix of charming but populated. If I wanted to be compared to a larger area, I would’ve moved to a larger area. Don’t rob us of our charming and peaceful nature in an effort to grow in dollars …”

John Kowalewski was concerned about the part of the plan that addressed the Timber Fence Parkway. He wrote, “Do not turn Timber Fence

Parkway into a connector road! Putting a heavy traffic volume road right through the residential areas of Olde Gold Cup (where I live), Silver Cup, etc. will drive down property values and significantly degrade quality of life for the many families living in this neighborhood. I bought a house here specifically to raise my children in a quiet and safe area, away from the noise and danger of heavy traffic.”

Brown added in a later comment, “Warrenton is not NOVA. If I wanted to live in NOVA I would have stayed there. I choose Warrenton because it offered a place to raise a family. Building hotels will only bring crime and gangs. We already have a homeless problem in Warrenton. Check out the apartments by Popeye’s. We have homeless folks living there. We have drug issues here already.

Stop trying to compete with other towns.”

Parent after parent reminded you of the data - COVID deaths are down 86% from their April peak; no child deaths in Fauquier County; children are not driving the spread of COVID. While every death matters, we must maintain perspective. The data supports the traditional five-day in-class schedule.

This is a time for the Fauquier school community to come together and be united. It is not too late for you to make the right decision. This is not hard or complicated.

Town comprehensive plan needs more public input, time for consideration Thanks to Julie Bolthouse and PEC for their thoughtful review of the proposed plan. The process does seem to be rushed given the COVID-19 distractions and, as is, the draft entirely ignores the likely impacts of the pandemic itself on commercial and residential demand and the capital markets which drive all the proposed scenarios. I would urge the Planning Commission to require additional consultation and consideration of the fiscal reality.

The overwhelming litany of goals (8), policies (69), objectives (53), and actions (165) are not well rooted in the annexes provided by RKG nor are they prioritized or sequenced. It is difficult to understand how this plan, if adopted, would help the Town of Warrenton navigate difficult and informed choices.

A “results framework” would help discern a critical path.

The pernicious claim that unfettered densification in any mixed-use area would be a desirable outcome is unsubstantiated and needs more consideration. Similarly, the transportation and circulation chapter concludes that the Timber Fence bypass should be built to alleviate congestion along Broadview without any basis in traffic data or consideration of VDOT’s upcoming investments in Broadview Avenue.

Worse, there was no consultation with any of the directly affected communities in the Rady Park/Olde Gold Cup/Silver Cup axis, which is concerning at least.

Given the sunk costs in the draft plan, it would be well worth going the extra mile to making sure the path forward is much clearer and the consultative process more inclusive.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS WILL BEGIN IN DECEMBER VHSL approves plan for 3 shorter seasons; high risk sports still in doubt

Private schools hope to play low risk sports

By Fred Hodge and Peter Brewington Times Staff Writers

By Peter Brewington

At last, some clarity.

The Executive Committee of the Virginia High School League voted 34-1 on Monday to approve the Model 3 athletic schedule for the 2020-21 school year.

The plan is to host every sport with a truncated schedule beginning with the winter season of Dec. 14Feb. 20 (first contest date: Dec. 28).

The relocated fall season would follow Feb. 15–May 1 (March 1), with the spring campaign set for April 12–June 26 (April 26).

“People are going to have to understand that normal does not exist at the level currently in our system,” VHSL executive director Billy Haun at Monday’s meeting.

He added the plan allows schools to begin the school year and deal with the issues of schedules, academic plans, transportation and possible outbreaks of COVID-19 in the school.

Haun said more than 8,000 people responded to requests for input following a July 15 meeting.

Haun cautioned, however, that high risk sports as defined by the NCAA still could be in jeopardy if the state remains at Phase III or drops to Phase II. HIgh risk sports include football, lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, wrestling, basketball, volleyball and cheerleading.

“As long as we’re in Phase 3, and we have the guidelines that we have, we aren’t going to play the high risk sports,” he said. “In order to play high risk sports, we’re going to have to have Virginia move out of Phase 3 or the data is revised.”

Local and state administrators have been waiting for the VHSL’s decision so they can begin the arduous process of restructuring the year’s athletic schedules. Still, they need more information before exact plans are made.

“I couldn’t imagine any other solution,” said Unity Reed High athletic director Kevin Turner, referring to Model 3.

“There’s uncertainty still, but we feel better about moving forward.”

Unlike much of the state, Prince William County has not allowed off-season conditioning on campus.

Conditioning may begin around Labor Day, Turner said, once safety protocols are enacted.

Haun previously estimated each team could play approximately 60% of its allotted games under Model 3, with district-only games a possibility.

So now scheduling is suddenly

Last Friday, the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA) said it was canceling state championships but leaving the door open for member schools and their conferences to compete in the fall.

“It’s been encouraged for schools to primarily look at or analyze low risk sports,” said Highland School athletic director Gary Leake, a member of the VISAA executive committee.

Low risk sports offered in the fall by the private school association include golf, tennis and cross country. Moderate risk fall sports include boys soccer, field hockey and volleyball.

“If schools or conferences across the state felt it was manageable with safety guidelines in place, they could choose to play perhaps a regional schedule against schools either geographically similar or philosophically similar,” Leake said.

More info will come after a key meeting Aug. 4, Leake said.

Basketball is scheduled to kick off the high school sports season in December.

As a high risk sport, the pandemic needs to subside before it can be played. an issue. “We need guidance from above to see how much we can play,” Liberty activities director Dean Spahr said Monday. “Then we can go backwards from there.”

Kettle Run AD Paul Frye said he’s curious about state tournament dates and deadlines for district and regional tournaments. “You have to have those selected before we can move and decide how many regular-season games we can have,” Frye said. “There has to be a cutoff somewhere to begin some type of elimination playoff.”

Haun said committees will be formed representing all four regions in each of the six enrollment classifications. They will seek information from coaches to determine more exact guidelines, so more games may be possible.

Haun said the postseason is still being worked out and may need to be shortened. Some schools want to play the highest number of regular-season games to maximize participation, he said, while others very much want a postseason slate.

The committees will present recommendations at an Aug. 24 meeting. Haun said he hopes the VHSL will have a finished product by Sept.

1. “We may have to do some type of sectional/regional model,” he said.

Schools may continue to hold out-of-season practice sessions under Model 3, Haun said. Fauquier has limited workouts to fall sports teams, but that will change Monday when every team may hold outdoor conditioning sessions.

No implements may be shared and participants must stay at least 10 feet apart. Activities are limited to running and agility work. The maximum number of 50 people on the campus at any time also will be strictly enforced.

“Most of it is just to let the kids get out and do something,” Frye said.

“There’s not really much you can do.”

One coach has seen a pleasing uptick in attendance since conditioning was approved.

“I have 25-30 kids coming to conditioning,” Fauquier High cross coun-

try coach Quentin Jones “Before, I might have 10. The kids just want to get together...get out of the house.”

The winter and relocated fall athletes will need to adjust their internal clocks under the new calendar.

Winter athletes previously worked out in obscurity while football and others competed. They now are leaders of the pack. Fall athletes will begin in wintry condition.

They also may be faced with the need to play games during a school system’s spring break. Most schools generally do not schedule games during the holiday, but the shortened season may require then.

Highland star Brizzi picks Villanova

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Highland School point guard Angelo Brizzi committed to play basketball at Villanova on Monday, ending a process that saw Arizona, Michigan, Colorado, Northwestern, Davidson and Cal and more come after him recently.

“We felt comfortable with where we were,” said the rising senior.

“There was no reason to wait any longer.”

Specific evaluations had been ongoing for some time, he said, and Villanova’s approach impressed him. “They recruited me very hard. The hardest of all the schools,” Brizzi said appreciatively.

“I thought that said a lot about what they thought of me.”

Villanova coach Jay Wright, whose Wildcats won the 2016 and 2018 NCAA Division I national championships, is known for developing point guards. “He’s done an outstanding job there. He’s developed people there and gotten them ready for the next level,” said Brizzi.

He said he had multiple conversations about the role of the point

“There was no reason to wait any longer,” said three-star recruit Angelo Brizzi about picking Villanova. The rising senior has one more year at Highland before he joins the Big East. guard in the Villanova system. “But there still is a whole lot to learn,” he said.

Brizzi cannot sign a binding national letter of intent until November.

MORE SOFTBALL FOR EMILY Fauquier’s Turner to play at Indiana University of Pennsylvania

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Emily Turner is ecstatic to have another chance to play softball. The 2020 Fauquier High School graduate will play at NCAA Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania, which is planning fall classes.

“If I wasn’t playing in college, I would be more upset than I am,” Turner said about returning to her softball existence. “It sounds like a cliche, but you don’t truly love something until you can’t do it anymore. Not playing softball again. That just hurts me to think about.”

Turner, Zoe Ott, Callaway Lee and Lauren Davis were Falcon seniors set for a monster final year.

With Woodgrove moved up to Class 5, there was a palpable sense Fauquier had the firepower to win a Class 4 state championship. Then came March 13, the pandemic and the halt of all athletics.

“We were so excited,” Turner said. “I was so heartbroken for the girls. We just cried.”

Turner stressed her softball relationships often provided a needed boost. “I could have the worst day at school, but to play a game or just go to practice, and my mood goes up so much,” she said.

Ott will play at Clarion University, but Lee and Davis probably will not play in college.

As a junior, Turner led the Falcon starters with 82 at bats, RBIs (19), doubles (13), total bases (43) and slugging percentage (.524). She also tied for first in runs scored (24) and fewest strikeouts by a starter (six). She hit .341 and was an all-district pick at catcher.

“Emily batted in the fourth spot her junior year, and there was a reason for that,” said FHS coach

It always has my attention.”

Erika Lamper. “She might look small, but she has a lot of power in that swing. She is aggressive but also selective.”

Turner shyly introduced herself to her future coach at a 2019 summer event and found Shawna Bellaud to be welcoming. “She was the nicest person, and I have been talking to her ever since.

I thought it was the perfect fit for me,” said Turner.

At IUP, Turner will be reunited with 2019 FHS grad Ashley Renzi, who pitches for the Crimson Hawks.

Turner praised Lamper, assistants Sue Harrington and Craig Gilmore and former FHS head coach Mark Ott for their efforts on her behalf.

Sylvia Lorraine Taylor 1948-2020 Sylvia Taylor of Nokesville, Virginia passed into the arms of Jesus on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. She was born on December 15, 1948, in Alexandria, Virginia to Carlice McKinley and Anna Rebecca Louise Keene McGlothlin. She was a graduate of W.T. Woodson High School.

She met the love of her life, Myron Kenneth (Ken) Taylor, Sr. of Clifton, VA in 1967. Ken and Sylvia were married on August 10, 1968 and spent their honeymoon at Skyland on Skyline Drive. They frequently returned there to celebrate anniversaries and special occasions. Ken and Sylvia were blessed with six children, Ken Taylor, Jr. (Lorie) of London, KY, Laura Burris (Benji) of Culpeper, VA, Ben Taylor (Elizabeth) of Arlington, VA, Drew Taylor of Los Angeles, CA, Josh Taylor (fiancé Nancy Marano) of Nokesville, VA, and Joey Taylor of Nokesville, VA. Sylvia also was blessed with numerous grandchildren, Caleb Taylor (Lauren) of London, KY, Makayla Flowers (Stephen) of Columbia, SC, Constance Morris (Bobby), Savannah, Clayton, Blake, Abby, and Ava Burris of Culpeper, VA, Sabrina Taylor of Nokesville, VA, and Noah and Bowen Marano of Nokesville, VA, and great-grandchild, Keagan Flowers. Another Taylor great- grandchild from Lauren and Caleb is expected in September. Sylvia’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were her pride and joy and she loved nothing better than family meals around her dining room table.

Sylvia dedicated her life to her church and her family and spent her days serving her Lord and his children. Her days were filled with praying and caring for the sick and lost, cooking for those who needed nourishment, and visiting those who needed a friend and a prayer. She was an amazing cook and an avid gardener. She loved horses, travelling, and politics and was never afraid to speak her mind. Her tenacity and forthrightness were balanced by a true love of people and the world around her.

Sylvia is survived by her seven sisters Lou, Linda, Josie, Betty, Wanda, Sue and Sharon, and her two brothers Carlice and Wayne. She also is survived by her many beloved nieces and nephews, an extended family spread across the country, and her brothers and sisters of the Church.

Sylvia was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Peggy.

She was a true servant of God and her positive impact was profound and widespread. She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her.

A visitation was held on Saturday, July 25, 2020, from 6-9 p.m. at Pierce Funeral Home in Manassas, VA. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the visitation will be a walkthrough event and the family kindly asks those who attend to pay their respects as quickly as possible so everyone will have an opportunity to do so. In addition, a graveside service was held on Sunday, July 26th, but will be limited to immediate family only.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Bristow Assembly of God Church. Donations can be mailed to 11804 Nokesville Road, Bristow, VA 20136 and will go to a special mission fund in her honor to carry on her life’s work of love.

“Your exotic ideas lead you to many exciting, new adventures!”

Once upon a time, on January 17, 1991, in the enchanted land of Loveland, Colorado, a noble warrior was born. At that time no one knew what a magical superhero he would one day become.

His love and automatic recall of every minute detail of Doctor Who, anything Harry Potter, and the entire Marvel Comic Universe movie catalog was simply amazing.

OBITUARIES Ralph G. Swain

Wade Protus Phillips Wade Protus Phillips, 49, of Leesburg, Virginia, passed away in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on July 8, 2020. Wade was born April 14, 1971 in Fairfax, Virginia; the son of Ronald Phillips and Carmella Cuccherini.

A decorated law enforcement officer, Wade began as a bailiff and later a deputy with the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office. With aspirations of being a patrolman, Wade transitioned to the Fairfax City and Manassas Park Police Departments. He later joined the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, where he spent the last 15 years of his career until retiring in 2016.

Wade received many awards and commendations, including MADD, DARE, and Deputy of the Year in Loudoun County, but he was most proud of the opportunity to positively impact the lives of those in his community.

Wade was a man of simple pleasures. He enjoyed listening to 80’s music; drawing; watching football, news and classic westerns; eating his favorite snacks; driving his ’78 Camaro; his dogs; the beach and watching the sun rise. He was always ready to help anyone in need. He loved to laugh and joke with friends and family. He loved his family the most and was very proud of his three children and their accomplishments.

In addition to his mother and father, Wade is survived by his stepmother, Cheryl Phillips; his beloved children Brianna, Cody and Ashley Phillips; the mother of his children, Kathy Phillips, whom he was married to for 30 years; brothers Ronald (Dawn) Phillips, Brett (Karen) Phillips, and Adam Phillips; his sister Angela (Nicholas) Longpre; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and other extended family.

He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and brothers in blue.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date once it is safe to do so.

Dorothy Roberta Clark Dorothy Roberta Clark, 87, of Culpeper, Virginia, passed peacefully on July 13, 2020, with family by her side. She was born on February 13, 1933, in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, to Robert and Edna Frye. She met Philip M. Clark Sr. at Penn State University and married him on Christmas Eve 1951. After raising their three children, they retired to a farm in Warrenton, VIrginia, with horses in the pasture, beloved dogs by their side, a vegetable garden, and their land adorned with the numerous trees and flowers they planted.

Dorothy was dedicated to her family first and foremost, and embraced every moment with them.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Philip Clark Sr.; sister Rose (Thomas) Douglass; children Deborah “Abby” (Daniel) Dunne, Lynette Clark, Philip (Jaye) Clark Jr.; and her beloved five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She is reunited with a grandson in Heaven who died four months ago.

Dorothy was determined, creative, adventurous, fun, and mischievous.

She was often found sitting at her dining room table crafting items for the church bazaar, making quilts for a world relief ministry, creating memory books using the family photos she treasured, and playing board or card games with those brave enough to challenge her fierce competitive spirit.

Dorothy was a voracious reader and often jotted down favorite quotes and Bible verses, in addition to penning her own poetry and writing a hymn. She had a beautiful voice and enjoyed a variety of music genres.

Dorothy was a woman of faith who believed in giving back to the community through volunteerism. Throughout her life, she was actively involved in many church activities, charities, and local community activities.

Dorothy was extremely proud of a family ancestry book she created after conducting years of exhaustive research. The book included written recollections of her own life, the last line of which read, “To summarize my life - the things that mean the most to me are my relationships with God, Phil, the kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, and the hope that we will continue to grow and learn always.”

Dorothy will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, and in their passing down to future generations the many extraordinary things they have learned from her.

Internment will take place at the cemetery in Salladasburg, Pennsylvania, on a date to be determined. Memorial contributions may be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation at https://give.bcrf.org/give/ 31404/#!/donation/checkout.

PLANNING AS A FAMILY It’s a difficult fact to face, but death is not reserved for the elderly and the ill. If having a say concerning what happens to your body and how you are memorialized are important to you, it is best to address these decisions sooner rather than later. Doing so can not only ease your mind, but also the minds of your family and friends, since making decisions about after-life care can be emotionally difficult when dealing with a loved one’s passing. This is why it is a good idea to keep in mind that funerals and memorials are about the living as much as the deceased, so be sure to discuss with your family what they want when making plans.

During our lives we plan for education, having a family, vacations, weddings and retirement. We purchase insurance to help us in situations that may happen, such as accidents, earthquakes, fire, floods and theft. We should also consider the pre-planning of our funeral service as it not only lets our survivors know what our wishes are, but it can also avoid financial hardship. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

SELLERS experience fewer days on the market due to high buyer demand and low inventory.

BUYERS get more house for the money with historically low interest rates!
