Young athletes return to the field after spring competitions canceled By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
Even in the middle of a pandemic, sometimes baseball games are still canceled for old-fashioned reasons. Dark clouds loomed on the horizon as a Little League scrimmage between the “Nationals” and the “Orioles” commenced Thursday evening in Vint Hill. The uniforms were mismatched and unofficial, and the kids were 10 to 12 years old. About an hour into the game the thunder started, followed shortly by rain, ending the game after only a few innings. The scrimmage was part of a free, informal summer league organized by Greater Fauquier Baseball Little League after its spring season – usually the highlight of the baseball cal-

Remington votes for inclusivity By Angela Roberts

Canceling the spring season was “heartbreaking,” said league president Bryan Kniceley, and the sum-
mer “sandlot” league was a way to get kids back out on the field, even if it wasn’t baseball as usual. Families didn’t have to pay any registration fees for the summer league, which began in late June and will end this weekend. If the games had umpires, they were volunteers. Technically, no one kept score. (In reality, of course, almost every player and coach knows the score at any given moment.) No new uniforms were distributed to players. “Everybody has been very supportive [of the summer league]. We got a lot of positive feedback,” Kniceley said.

Some employers in the county are wrestling with when they should welcome employees back to work after a COVID-19 exposure or illness, according to Rob Marino, executive director of the Fauquier Free Clinic and experts from the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District at the Virginia Department of Health. “We have had some of our clients saying they need a coronavirus test because their employers tell them they must have a negative test before they return to work,” Marino said. He explained that this creates difficulties because if

Recent Fauquier High grad dies in hiking accident at Shenandoah National Park By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
Esgar Gutierrez Covarrubias, 18, a recent graduate of Fauquier High School, died July 18 when he fell 40 feet from the top of a waterfall while hiking in Shenandoah Park with a friend. Tara Helkowski, spokeswoman for the Fauquier County school division, said that school officials had been contacted and they had reached out to the family to express their condolences. Facebook comments offered prayers to the family. One friend wrote, “Our school community is sad as we are grieving the loss of one of our dear students. “Dear Esgar, you are far from our sight now, but not from our hearts and thoughts that with the eyes of our souls we will always see you near us! You brought joy and light to our classes and your gentle smile and caring heart will be greatly missed. We know you are in God’s care now and that is how it should be. “Rest peacefully in heaven fine young man! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.” A former teacher commented,
A COVID-19 snapshot
Tuesday, Aug. 4 A weekly summary released July 31 from the Virginia Department of Health reveals that 11 health districts – including the Rappahannock Health District, which includes Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties -- are experiencing surges in COVID-19 cases. The local health district surges are mostly fueled by more cases in Madison and Orange counties. Other health districts experiencing surges include seven in the Hampton Roads area. Surges in Thomas Jefferson and Three Rivers have abated. Gov. Ralph Northam announced July 28 a new executive order aimed at slowing the rise of COVID-19 cases in and around the Hampton Roads area; the plan includes prohibiting the sale of alcohol after 10 p.m., limiting restaurant capacity and banning social gatherings of more than 50 people.
New cases of coronavirus
Virginia: 1,145 Tuesday; 94,251 to date Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District: 1,863 Fauquier: 584 Perspective: Between June 8 and July 9, the state’s new case numbers were consistently below 700, but a surge in cases in Virginia began to appear July 10, when 943 new cases were reported. New cases have topped 1,000 eight times since July 15. In Fauquier, in the month of July, 147 new cases were added, as compared to June, when the county added a total of 114 new cases.

“Esgar was such a sweet, kind young man! I was blessed to have him as a student. My heart goes out to all who knew him for he will be missed.”
The accident
Sally Hurlbert, management specialist at the park, said that Gutierrez Covarrubias and a friend were hiking off the Whiteoak Canyon Trail, above Upper Whiteoak Falls, when Gutierrez Covarrubias slipped on some wet rocks and fell to the base of the waterfall. The other hiker, who was not identified, tried to reach his friend, but also lost his footing as he climbed down toward the positivity rate was 1.7% on July 1.
Outbreaks
Virginia: 657 total; 320 outbreaks in long-term care settings, 215 in congregate care settings, 48 in correctional facilities, 48 in health care settings and 26 in educational settings. RRHD: 10 total; 4 outbreaks in longterm care settings, 5 in congregate care settings, 1 in a health care setting. The last outbreak in the RRHD occurred July 21 in a Culpeper long-term care facility.
Hospitalizations
Virginia: 8,085 RRHD: 133 Fauquier: 34 Perspective: Younger adults are becoming ill enough to require acute care. In the health district, 32 people from 50 to 59 have been hospitalized, the largest age group. Twenty-one residents between 40 and 49 were hospitalized, as well as the same number from the 60- to 69-year-old group. Nineteen who are aged 30 to 39 were hospitalized. Seventeen residents older than 80 years old have been hospitalized. In the state, 1,610 COVID-19 positive residents in the 60 to 69 age group were hospitalized and 1,476 of those aged 50 to 59 were hospitalized. Those were the two age groups with the most hospitalizations.
Deaths
Virginia: 2,095 RRHD: 26 Fauquier: 8 Perspective: In the state, the majority of people who have died have been older than 80 (1,111), compared to 1,131 for all residents 79 and younger. Seventeen people older than 70 have died in the health district, while nine under 70 have died.
bottom of the falls. Hurlbert said that park authorities received a call at 7:15 p.m. and a rescue team of park rangers with advanced life support expertise responded, traveling along a fire road near the trail. The falls are 2.3 miles from Skyline Drive, but the fire road runs near the top of the waterfall. When rangers arrived, said Hurlbert, they found bystanders performing CPR on Gutierrez Covarrubias. The rangers took over the life-saving efforts, but eventually pronounced Gutierrez Covarrubias dead at the scene. Rangers carried the other injured hiker out on a litter. Hurlbert said the young man was taken to Paige Memorial Hospital in Luray with non-life-threatening injuries. “It was a difficult rescue,” said Hurlbert. The road wasn’t too far from the top of the waterfall, she said, “but they had to get them from the bottom of the waterfall where they fallen to the top, in order to access the fire road.” She said that 27 volunteers and park rangers were involved in the rescue. Hurlbert described the death as tragic. “Only 18 … he had so much more life to live.” She said that the area around waterfalls is often slick. “Those rocks are always very slippery because

Whiteoak Falls is in the middle of the lower box marked in red. of the mist from the waterfall.” She said it was not the first fatality at the park around a waterfall. She said an investigation was held, but she is not sure how the young men got to where they were when they fell. “They were definitely off the trail.” The description of the hike on the Shenandoah Park website describes the hike as “very steep” in parts. Hurlbert asked that visitors to the park stay on trails and not extend themselves more than they are comfortable doing, particularly when the COVID-19 pandemic is still active. “It puts rangers at further risk during this crisis.” She said that fatalities at the park are not reported to the public in an effort to protect the privacy of the person involved. She added though, that it may be time to rethink that strategy, as a way to prevent further tragedies. “If someone has a heart attack in the park, that doesn’t need to be reported, but if reporting an accident like this one could prevent other accidents, that could be important.” Services were held for Gutierrez Covarrubias on July 23 at Royston Funeral Home in Marshall and at St. John Catholic Church in Warrenton.

Young athletes return to the field after spring competitions canceled YOUNG ATHLETES, from page 1 competitions as the fall season – usually a busy time for youth sports – approaches. To use fields owned by the Fauquier County Department of Parks and Recreation, like the one in Vint Hill, each league or team - some travel organizations applied individually - had to submit a return-to-play plan to the department. “Groups were asked to consider social distancing in dugouts and team benches, group size restrictions, no shared equipment, and the need for an additional waiver related to COVID,” explained Thomas Schoenauer, the parks department’s superintendent. “The department also asked each group to identify a designated COVID-19 league representative who would be the point of contact for questions and enforcement.” As of Friday, the parks department had approved return-to-play plans from four leagues: Greater Fauquier Baseball Little League, Warrenton Youth Sports Club, Fauquier County Soccer Club and Fauquier Youth Football. Each league has a plan for fall competitions beginning in August or September. Six travel baseball organizations (who compete in several leagues) also have approved plans in place to use county fields, along with one travel lacrosse organization.

“Not all sports have plans to return, so our fields are at about 75% capacity heading into the fall,” he explained. “At this time, we haven’t had any major issues with approved groups not following their plans,” Schoenauer said. “It has more been groups walking on to the fields not being aware of our protocols, who we educate and ask to follow all necessary items to properly schedule field use.” The 16-point Little League plan, for instance, forbids the sharing of equipment among players and asks players, coaches and spectators to maintain 10 feet of separation whenever possible. Enclosed dugouts are off-limits entirely. For fields with fenced dugouts, like the one in Vint Hill, players are encouraged not to congregate, instead spreading out nearby or sitting with their families between innings. The frequent use
Remington votes for inclusivity REMINGTON, from page 1 along the town’s borders and on the Remington Town Hall. But in the wake of the killing of George Floyd — a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes — town council members said it had been vandalized. Vice Mayor Devada Allison said the council had previously chosen not to take action after hearing from residents upset by the battle flag’s inclusion in the seal. But in light of the national reckoning over institutionalized racism and the “healing process” happening in the country, he said council members recognized it was time for the seal to change. “We are moving forward as a community,” he said. “We definitely want Remington to be represented as welcoming to everybody, because that’s what it is.” Ryan Hart, owner of Waterline Aquatics — a swimming pool repair service in Remington — celebrated the council’s vote. He and his wife bought their first home in Remington eight years ago, and are now raising their three children in the town. He wants them to be proud of their town, he said, and not be looked down upon by those who assume it is racist because of the presence of the Confederate battle flag on its emblem. His wife, Amanda Hart, agreed. Though she grew up a mile outside the town, she said its seal really began to bother her and her husband after they moved to Remington. Many of their friends and family members are people of color, and it hurt that they had to drive past the seal on their way to the Harts’ house. Plus, she and her husband both were emphatic that the Confederate battle flag does not represent the character of Remington. When they
of hand sanitizer is encouraged. Even with the restrictions, Thursday’s scrimmage mostly looked like a normal evening at the ballfield. The effects of the pandemic were only noticeable upon close inspection: a bottle of hand sanitizer on the dugout bench, the lack of the usual congratulatory high-fives between innings. Kids and parents alike were just happy there was something fun to anticipate after schools and other activities had been shuttered for so long. “As soon as they said they were doing [a summer league], we signed up,” said Kiley Gonzalez, of Bealeton, as her son Channing, 10, was atbat during Thursday’s scrimmage. “A lot of the kids really missed this.” One of Channing’s coaches, Mike See YOUNG ATHLETES, page 5
had a small house fire last month, their neighbors stepped up to take care of them, Hart said, bringing over meals and checking in to see if they were alright. “Our neighbors are just so lovely, and the town is just incredibly sweet and thoughtful,” she said. “That’s important to me — to represent the love and kindness we’ve got going on in our community.” About a month before the council’s vote, McKenna Cupka — a rising eighth-grader at Taylor Middle School in Warrenton — started a petition condemning the battle flag’s inclusion in the town seal. Her family lived in Remington until she was 8 years old, and a sign near M.M. Pierce Elementary — where she went to school — featured the town’s seal. Since the time she was young, Cupka said she has had an issue with the battle flag’s inclusion on the seal. “I just thought it wasn’t something that should be on a sign — especially where kids of color go,” she said. “I didn’t think history should be erased. I think it should be taught about, but I personally view it as a hateful thing.” Around the same time Cupka started the petition — which eventually gained more than 200 signatures — Hart connected with the town’s school board representative over social media. He had asked his Facebook friends if they would be OK with having a Confederate battle flag on their town’s seal, sparking a discussion in the comment section. From there, school board member Stephanie Litter-Reber started researching the seal’s history, reaching out to the man — Tom Reese Jr. — who designed it. At the council’s July meeting, Litter-Reber explained that Reese hadn’t meant to hurt his Black neighbors by including the battle flag in the seal’s design. Instead, he said he had done so for the same reason he included a silhouette of a train in the design: to represent the town’s history. Between 1862 and 1863, two Civil War battles were fought at the Rappahannock Station in Rem-
Fauquier Central Sports Complex to open Aug. 15
The long-awaited Fauquier County Central Sports Complex will open for practices and games Aug. 15, according to Thomas Schoenauer, the parks and recreation superintendent. The complex is located at the intersection of Meetze and Old Auburn Roads outside Warrenton, adjacent to the Fauquier County Fairgrounds. Currently, only Greater Fauquier Baseball Little League has confirmed its field-use schedule for the fall, but other leagues may finalize their schedules soon, Schoenauer added. The 72-acre complex consists of one full-size artificial turf field, five baseball-softball fields, five Bermuda grass rectangular fields and a walking and equestrian trail. Permanent restrooms, irrigation systems and field lighting are planned to be added in the next phases of construction. To date, the $13.2 million project has been funded by $8.8 million in debt issued by the county; the remainder has been paid for by direct county funding and by grants from the Land and Water Conservation Fund and Virginia Department of Transportation.
ington. The Confederate army won the first battle and the Union army claimed a major victory in the second battle. For that reason, Litter-Reber explained in a Facebook post, Reese had designed the seal so that the American flag was bigger than the Confederate battle flag. But those who visit Remington may not understand this history, and may see the seal as a symbol that the town accepts hatred — something that couldn’t be further from the truth, she wrote. “Our town takes care of each other. It’s time to design a seal that honors our history -- but also honors our present and our future and depicts us as the loving community that we are,” she wrote. Up until the town council’s next meeting on Aug. 17, anyone who lives in Remington is welcome to submit a design for the new town seal. Then, town council members will narrow the submissions down to three designs, and ask residents to vote for their favorite. But even though the meeting is still weeks away, the Confederate battle flag can no longer be seen on the seals on the town’s welcome signs and government buildings. Initially, Hart said, the council used images of the Virginia state flag it had printed out to cover the emblem, but the paper images were torn down. So he took matters into his own hands. With the council’s permission, he called up Piedmont Press & Graphics in Warrenton, and the business offered to donate vinyl decals of the state flag that could be used to cover the Confederate battle flag. Then he drove around town, sticking the decals over the Confederate flag as a temporary solution. “Having the rebel flag on the sign was a divisive symbol and not really representative of the inclusive community that we have here,” he said. “It’s a good time to get rid of it, so everybody feels welcome that comes to our town and sees our welcome signs.” Angela Roberts is a summer intern from the University of Maryland’s journalism school. Her internship was made possible by the Piedmont Journalism Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Proposed 38-home development near Middleburg prompts vigorous opposition By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
A proposed 38-home development on 571 acres just outside Middleburg has prompted an uproar from neighboring landowners and opposition from several advocacy groups, including the Piedmont Environmental Council. More than 1,100 people have signed a petition opposing the development, but it remains unclear how much legal authority county or town officials have to stop the plan moving forward. The land proposed for the development, dubbed Banbury Cross Reserve, is in Loudoun County just east of Middleburg’s town limits. Because a portion of the property lies within the town’s “Subdivision Control Area,” the town planning commission must approve the application before the project can move forward. After a four-hour meeting on July 27, planning commissioners voted to delay making a decision on the preliminary plat application – the first of three stages in the approval process - until Aug. 10, saying they needed more time to speak with
A map created by the Piedmont Environmental Council shows the area proposed for the Banbury Cross Reserve development just outside Middleburg town limits. town staff and the applicant about concerns with the development. The vast majority of the 76 speakers at a public hearing on the matter urged commissioners to deny the application. In addition, the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Goose Creek Association, the Mosby Heritage Area Association and the Loudoun County Preservation and Conservation Coalition all oppose the project. Concerns about the effects of the development on the water supply are cited by most opponents, but other worries about impacts on
traffic, tourism, archeology and the character of Middleburg itself were also mentioned. However, proposed development Loudoun County zoning ordinances cannot be denied except on the basis of specific technical deficiencies. That is, the planning commission has no discretionary jurisdiction and commissioners cannot deny the byright application based on personal opinion; the denial must be rooted in established zoning law. Even if commissioners do vote to deny the application in its current
form, by law the applicant is entitled to address the technical deficiencies cited by commissioners and resubmit the application for approval. Town officials have repeatedly warned that denying the application on subjective, non-technical grounds could lead to litigation against the town. A representative of the developer alluded to this possibility during the July 27 meeting. In September 2019, the town’s planning commissioners, citing “certain deficiencies” in the original application, denied the first proposal and required the developer to address the issues with the county before submitting another application. In June, county officials indicated they were prepared to approve a revised application from the development company - Middleburg Development 1, owned by Andrew Hertneky of Marshall - and its Annandale-based civil engineering firm, Urban. The land proposed for the development is zoned “Agricultural Rural - 2: Rural business and residential uses,” which allows for housing and business density of up to one unit per 20 acres if some structures are clustered together. “Technically, the entire project is by-right as it employs existing zoning and does not require a special See BANBURY, page 9
CDC recommends time-based clearance for employees exposed to coronavirus WORK, from page 1 cost, which may be too much of a burden for free clinic clients; employers are not offering to pay for the test. Many free clinic patients are essential workers with service jobs. “They can’t work from home. If you work in a fast-food place, you can’t Zoom in,” Marino said. Sometimes the employer is not the hold up. “If someone is working at a client’s house, the boss may allow them to work but the client says no,” he said. If someone has COVID-19, Marino said, they can be sick for a couple of days, but be out of work for weeks if their return to work is based on a negative test. Those who have had COVID-19 can test positive for a while after recovering, even they are not contagious. “Plus,” said Marino, “it’s a waste of a test.” Marino said that when a client is having trouble getting the OK to return to work, he or someone in his office will sometimes contact the employer and explain that testing may not be the best assurance that the person is no longer contagious. “I wish I could say that I have been able to convince them, but so far, I have not had any success stories.” He said that most employers don’t return his phone calls. “They don’t want to hear from us.” Marino said that he has called on April Achter, epidemiologist with the VDH, for help in working with employers. “April has been fantastic,” he said, “instantly responsive
and always helpful.” Achter said that when she gets a call asking for this kind of help, “I’ll first call the client and ask permission to speak with their employer. If they say yes, I’ll call the employer and educate them” about Centers for Disease Control protocols. The CDC, she said, is not recommending a test-based approach for giving the all-clear to return to work. If it has been 10 days since the onset of symptoms, if symptoms are not getting worse and if they have not had a fever for 24 hours, then they are safe to return to work. Achter pointed out that the 24-hours-without-a-fever (assuming no medication is being taken to reduce the fever) recommendation is new. The advice until recently was 72 hours without a fever. She added that if a person is quarantining because of an exposure to someone with COVID-19, he or she needs to stay isolated for the full 14 days. "A negative test on day four just means they don’t have it on day four.” The epidemiologist said that she has had limited success in educating employers. “Some have agreed to our suggestions, but some have held the line. They want the reassurance of a negative test. But in our view, it doesn’t give them what they think it does. … And waiting for the test results can put some employees in a bind.” Marino agreed, “employers have a fear of the illness and a fear of the liability” they could face if one of their employees is believed to have spread the disease.
Wade Kartchner, M.D., health director of the Rappahannock/Rapidan Health District confirmed that the CDC has weighed in on the two types of strategies necessary to be able to come off of isolation: testbased and time-based. “The CDC is strongly discouraging the test-based strategy, using PCR testing, to discontinue isolation in almost every case. The main exception would be someone who is severely immunocompromised,” he said. He echoed Achter’s explanation, “For most persons with COVID-19 illness, isolation and precautions can generally be discontinued 10 days after symptom onset and resolution of fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications and with improvement of other symptoms.” He added, “By following these recommendations, people have a reasonable expectation as to when they can come out of isolation… we know that available data show that people are no longer infectious 10 days after symptom onset. PCR tests, on the other hand, may still be positive for weeks after illness. This doesn't represent ongoing infectious disease, just that RNA particles are still detected in the sample.”
Virginia’s emergency temporary standard
One factor that could be causing confusion is the emergency temporary standard adopted by the Virginia Safety and Health Codes Board on July 15 (16VAC25-220). Private employers, along with state and local governments are required to abide by the standard.
The standards list the 72-hour benchmark for being without a fever and recommend the test-based return to work as well as the time-based; the standards’ test-base requirements demand two consecutive negative tests, taken 24 or more hours apart. Some employers feel they must follow the temporary standards, but Jennifer Rose, cooperative program director for the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry explained Monday that employers are allowed to follow current CDC guidelines, “as long as the employer has the ability to provide the specific guidance they are following should they be asked for it by Virginia Occupational Safety and Health.” Noting the possible confusion, she said, “We are in the process of developing a FAQ list to answer this and many other questions we have received regarding the standard. This will be posted on the DOLI webpage at: https://www.doli.virginia.gov/covid-19-outreach-education-and-training/.
Getting back to work
Marino said his office takes calls all day. “If someone wants to get tested, we do a pre-screening. Some of them don’t even meet the criteria for getting a test if they have no symptoms. “I’ll call or our patient coordinator will call, trying to get it worked out.” Is calling employers to get clients back to work in his job description? Marino replied, “Nothing that has happened in the last five months is in my job description.”

BANBURY, from page 8 exception,” said Glen Barbour, a Loudoun County spokesperson, on Thursday. If the developer changed the scope of the project to include land that is outside of the town’s jurisdiction, the town’s commission would have no jurisdiction over the matter, and it would be a wholly administrative process with the county. Middleburg Deputy Town Manager Will Moore explained that, based on technical reviews of the latest application from multiple government agencies, the official recommendation of the town’s staff is to approve the project. He said, because the town planning commission does not have dis-
cretionary power in this case, the legal basis for approving or denying the application must be the technical merits – or lack thereof - of the project’s adherence to the “adopted regulatory obligations” in current law. Denying the application on subjective points may result in legal action against the town, he said. Nevertheless, some opponents of the project say the latest application submitted by the developer last month is still sufficiently flawed on several technical points to provide a legal basis for denying the project again. Daniel Haney, who grew up spending time in and around the proposed development and now lives west of Middleburg, has led the
grassroots opposition to the project along with a small group of nearby landowners who call themselves Concerned Citizens in Opposition to Banbury Cross Reserve Development. The group lists extensive concerns about the development, calling it “unprecedented in scale” and claiming the project could “negatively impact the historic town of Middleburg and open space, agricultural lands and scenic views in one of the most pristine parts of western Loudoun County.” More specifically, the group claims that the application itself does not conform to county requirements in several technical aspects, especially in relation to the devel-
9
opment’s impact on water usage. Haney’s group hired an independent hydrogeologist to review the impact report commissioned by the developer, and Haney claimed Thursday the analysis found “eight technical deficiencies” in that report. Haney said that those in his group believe that the impacts on the water supply are the best legal argument for denying the developer’s application again. “Water is our main ammunition at this point; everything else seems to fall secondary,” he said, adding that the commission should stop the project on those grounds.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thou shall love thy neighbor I had a good neighbor and friend who helped me out of more than one tight spot. I had tried to return those favors, but I had fallen short. To his credit, he never kept a score card; and, I knew, if I needed his help again, he would be there for me. Such is friendship. Not too long ago, however, I felt our friendship was imperiled. We both considered ourselves to be conservatives; but, I leaned towards the progressive, while he was more inflexible … entrenched on the far right. This was attested to by the red baseball cap he would proudly put on whenever he saw me coming. I didn’t really mind the taunting red cap, but I did miss the one he wore when we rode motorcycles together … the beat up one with the Harley emblem on it. He was always the rebel, and, like his cap, a bit worn and defiant. We still shared conservative values and agreed on core issues, but over time we began to drift apart on the more controversial ones. That we disagreed didn’t seem unusual, but what did seem unusual was our growing
inability to calmly discuss our differences. It seemed that as the national political temperature rose, our exchanges heated up as well. Our usual tempered discourse that would include, “Now I respect your right to say that, but …” was replaced with, “That was a stupid thing to say,” or “I remember when you used to be a patriot.” As we became less civil toward each other, I feared my friend was acquiring the personality traits of his political god; he, no doubt, feared I was worshipping at the altar of left-wing socialists. Ultimately, he became an extreme partisan totally committed to the party line, while I didn’t care for party … any party. The political storm had engulfed us, and we were unable to weather it. Subsequently, we distanced ourselves and ceased discussing any pressing issue of substance. These issues also included personal ones … even medical issues that we both were confronted with. We became unable to express our thoughts and feelings in the human context … our fears and anxieties. We had lost the social bond of trust and shared humanity that had made us friends. And, as
a result, we both became the lesser … we became acquaintances. When I was undergoing cancer therapy, my mind wandered a bit. I imagined us renewing our friendship in a returning world of normalcy. But, after recovering, I gave up my imaginings and just accepted things as they appeared to be. Our estrangement remained unchanged, he eventually moved away, and we only spoke at rare social gatherings. Not too long ago, I heard from a neighbor that my friend had died. I felt diminished by the loss. John Donne in “For Whom the Bell Tolls” had it right; the bell had tolled for me as well. Too late, I realized that the friendship that bound us together was far more important than our political differences. I realized it had made each of us more human and mutually enhanced the quality of our lives. And lastly, I realized that only a fool loses a good friend due to the animus of the times. I miss my friend; and sometimes I wonder if he ever missed me.
A time for nobility
Now is a time of great calamity. We are challenged by the pandemic, acute economic distress, deep awareness of our history of racial prejudice and growing knowledge of the economic injustices we’ve let accumulate. We live in fear of the unknown and disruption to our sense of normalcy. But, as the ancient Chinese proverb holds, every crisis presents both challenges and opportunities. Our opportunity is to use our now-heightened awareness to confront fundamental problems facing us. It’s also an opportunity to rise to our highest levels of individual greatness. Our inspired Constitution states these great objectives: “to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” We have it in our power to come closer to achieving these worthy DON BACHMANN goals. But doing so will require us Marshall to transcend our fears and frustrations and rise to be our better selves. We must put aside rancor. We need to see beyond easy deceptions to perceive underlying truths. We must understand that we are not and will become a suburb of Warrenton. If that happens, merely individuals but also part of a significant part of Warrenton’s limited water supply will the larger society.

New bypass would endanger Warrenton’s water supply It is to be hoped that Warrenton, in revising its comprehensive plan, will consider the protection of its water supply more important than building a new bypass through Fenton Farm. Towser’s Branch, one of the three streams that feed the town’s reservoir, is comprised of two smaller streams: Cattail Branch, which rises at the base of View Tree Mountain, where the U.S. government training station is located, and Two Mile Branch, which rises on Harkaway Farm and joins Cattail Branch at the intersection of 17 and the 211 Bypass to become Towser’s Branch. It is at this point that the proposed bypass will connect with Route [U.S.] 17 and the 211 Bypass.

A mix of virtual and in-person teaching the best choice The blended model, unanimously adopted [by the Fauquier County School Board] July 13, is still the best option for Fauquier County children despite the teachers union change in position. This model allows riskaverse or high-risk families to choose virtual education. Other parents may choose in classroom education two days per week. We are not Fairfax or Prince William. Fairfax has had 15,231 COVID cases. 8,370 in Prince William. In Fauquier, 552 cases and eight deaths since March. Children are our most precious asset, but it is unrealistic to reduce risk
to zero. If only zero risk was acceptable, we would not allow children to ride school buses, go on field trips, or play on the playground. In 2017-2018, the CDC estimates 600 children died of the flu. In Virginia in 2018-2019, five children died of the flu. Schools did not close. Essential workers have been working or have gone back to work. They are taking necessary precautions and assuming reasonable risks to perform their essential duties. Why are we treating teachers differently? Teachers are essential workers. If they or their family are high risk, then, they can teach virtually.
The consequences if schools are closed include academic regressions, anxiety, food insecurity and other challenges. Experts hypothesize that the benefits of attending school outweigh the risks. There is evidence that educating and taking care of children can be done with low risk. Some child care centers in Virginia remained open and more opened their doors during Phase Two. The blended model is the right choice for Fauquier.

Kona Ice chillin’ with a rainbow of flavors Shaved ice producing shared smiles By John Hagarty
Special to the Fauquier Times
Five months ago, two entrepreneurs, who also happened to be cousins, were poised to launch a unique business -- happiness on four wheels. Their colorful Kona Ice truck is a state-of-the-art vehicle whose sole purpose is selling shaved ice treats. Then in a blink of a COVID-19 eye, their dreams melted as quickly as their ice delights. After spending half a year buying their franchise and graduating from “Kona Kollege” as certified owners of one of the fastest-growing franchises in the country, their vision evaporated. Today, things are back on track. The business is growing at a blistering pace in time to ease the blistering heat of Virginia’s summer. A central feature of Kona Ice’s corporate business strategy centers on fundraising for worthy causes. In the past 10 years, its franchisees have donated more than $82 million to thousands of organizations. Maria Lischak and Tania Terleckyj are the figurative and literal drivers behind the business. The franchise is supportive of women, veterans and law enforcement owners, they said. "In March, we were ready to go. We had schools, nonprofits, youth sports, churches and more lined up. We were booked through the end of October. We had our very first school event in early March, and then everything came to a halt,” said Lischak. The company’s more than 1,200 franchisees faced the same crippling halt of business. With group gatherings shut down, the corporation quickly pivoted to save their owners. “What Kona corporate did was enable us to offer curbside call and delivery in neighborhoods,"

tory includes part of Orange County and most of Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Shaved ice dates to the Roman Emperor Nero in 27 B.C. Nero had snow transported from the mountains and then flavored with fruit and honey. Today, shaved ice differs from a slushie. Shaving enables the flavorings to soak more deeply into the ice and create a smooth consistency that other ice products lack, the owners explained.

The Kona Ice truck brightens up a local neighborhood. said Lischak. “The company created an app called Kurbside Kona so customers can go online to order their frozen treats. It’s similar to other restaurant and pizza delivery businesses.” "When you order online, you set a specific time for delivery and what products you want. We call five minutes before arrival to let you know we are on the way,” said Terleckyj. There are five different sizes of cups from the 9-ounce Kiddie for $3 up to the 22-ounce Kowabunga for $6. The company also works with homeowners associations. The South Wales community in northern Culpeper County arranged to have the Kona truck available for its residents. It used the community’s basketball court's parking lot, and its website announced the times and location of service. “We’ve served South Wales on three occasions,” said Lischak. When the truck arrives on location, it’s easy to spot. It is a colorful blast of tropical colors and graphics and playing calypso music. It triggers a “wow” reaction, signaling the tasty treats produced therein. Kona is a popular name for Hawaiian children. The formal name of the business is Kona Ice of Culpeper, Locust Grove and Warrenton. Its terri-
“Kona Ice has outfitted all its trucks to be compliant with the highest standards required by any state regulations," said Terleckyj. “We have contactless payment and change our gloves and masks regularly.” Temperature checks are taken at the beginning of each work shift. The inside and outside of the truck is applied with MircoShield 360, an FDA and EPA approved product that kills viruses on any surface. Given the importance of cleanliness today, the truck is continually cleaned. It’s compliant with the National Sanitation Foundation International requirements, whose charter is helping to standardize sanitation and food safety in more than 170 countries. On Aug. 1, the Kona Truck will participate in a fundraising drive-in movie night with the Salem volunteer fire and rescue department. "We want to have more of these events in our service areas,” said Lischak. “We ask any worthy organization reach out to us to make it happen. "We are thrilled to be able to be doing this work. The smiles we see on people’s faces when we come out is wonderful. They are thankful and welcoming. It’s been overwhelming for us. “The kids have been especially sweet. We drove up to one house, and one of the kids came running up and shouted, ‘This is the best day ever. Even better than Christmas!’” For information on the Kona Ice schedule, visit its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ Kona-Ice-of-Culpeper-Locust-Grove-Warrenton-108865737176746/.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
FRESH and friends better the community through food distribution during pandemic Summer in Fauquier County has always been a challenge for families who are food insecure. With COVID-19, this need became even more urgent. The Fauquier Reaches for Excellence in School Health program, better known as FRESH, seeks to meet this need in the community. Their goal is to ensure that no child goes hungry in Fauquier County. However, this enormous task could not be accomplished by FRESH alone. With the help of Fauquier County Public School staff volunteers, Fauquier FISH, the Fauquier Education Farm, and the Airlie Berkshire Farm, FRESH has been able to supply fresh produce and other food to families who are in need. FRESH has been working tirelessly with both local and national organizations to help address the issues of food insecurity, nutrition education, and promoting healthy living among students in the county. This summer, FRESH took on three interns: Madison Carter and John Bellucci, both from the PATH Foundation, and Emma Dulin from No Kid Hungry, a national campaign focused on ending childhood hunger in America.

Emma Dulin, a college intern with FRESH, harvests greens at Fauquier Education Farm. These interns have added to FRESH’s initiatives and are out in the community every week to ensure food is available to those who need it most. FRESH’s three-step distribution process is what makes this all possible. First, volunteers harvest fresh produce from
the Fauquier Education Farm along with Carter and Bellucci. (The Education Farm is a ten-acre plot of land in which all yielded produce is donated to various organizations in the community, one of which is FRESH.) After the food is harvested, it is transported to FRESH’s preparation site at Warrenton Middle School, where volunteers - along with Dulin package, clean and prepare unique recipes that pair with that day’s fresh produce. In addition to the fresh produce, Fauquier FISH provides a bag of non-perishable food items called a “Power Pack.” Lastly, the prepared produce and Power Packs are distributed throughout the county via delivery and pick-up sites, such as public-school parking lots. FRESH’s food distribution and education efforts have brought awareness to the benefits of preparing and consuming fresh foods, creating an overall healthier and more engaged community.

Kudos to Fauquier County libraries
Student promotes 100% virtual learning
Being shut down and confined is not ideal. However, the library and staff have stepped up to offer a myriad of services and projects for all ages, including virtual story time for children, crafts to pick up, and sign language classes, to name a few. You can now schedule appointments to use the computers. Love my library. Thanks for the wonderful opportunities.
I am a student in Fauquier County, and I believe that school should be 100% virtual. Why I think this is a good idea is that being at home and not in the building will reduce the chances of spreading the coronavirus, even though the original plan was to go in two days a week at 50% capaci-
MARIE BROWNING Hume
ty and wear a face mask, you are still around a lot of people. Another reason is that some students learn better virtually instead of in school. Thanks for giving me the chance to express my views on going to school.

MORE THAN ONE WAY TO CATCH A FISH IN FAUQUIER COUNTY One fisherwoman’s tale of two excursions By Rita Rowand
Special to the Times
Riverside Preserve in Northern Fauquier County offers a great place to put a line in the Rappahannock River. Nestled off Leeds Manor Road near Orlean, the preserve is donated land now managed by Fauquier Parks and Recreation and is the only county park with access to the Rappahannock. Knowing it’s open from dawn till dusk, I set out after supper for some quiet fishing. Arriving past 7 p.m. on a recent weeknight, there were no other cars in the parking lot closest to the river. I was looking for a large rocky outcropping I’d spotted on an earlier visit. A 20-minute walk along a wellmarked path got me to an attractive point where I could cast my line. The Rappahannock offers many species for the freshwater angler to enjoy, including blue catfish, largemouth bass, striped bass and more. After about 15 minutes I hooked a small fish that got away. My fly rod had not seen action for a couple of years and needed some adjustments. I lost one fly and replaced it with an elk-hair caddis with a gold bead. That seemed to do the trick, as I caught a modest crappie shortly thereafter. Soon, movement caught my eye. Something was approaching in the
About Riverside Preserve
A weekday access permit is normally required for Riverside Preserve, but it has been waived for now. Normal permit costs are $50 (six months) and $75 (year). “We have 2.86 miles of trails for people to walk on. Lots of trees, plants, wildflowers and wildlife viewing opportunities,” said Gary Rzepecki, director of Fauquier County Parks and Rec. “It’s a great place to enjoy nature, with a river, and almost 200 acres of forest.” water: a large beaver swimming toward me. His legs paddled quietly upriver while his tail swung back and forth under the water. No sooner had he passed when a second beaver glided past, presumably searching for fish. Equally sizable, this one was possibly the mate. Beavers live 90% of their lives in the water, and I was lucky to observe these two, as they can be reclusive. Pleased with my Riverside trip, I talked with local angler David Frezza, who suggested I join him at a private pond in Orlean where he fishes. Frezza told me he enjoys friendly relationships with landowners who let him fish their ponds. “The key to fishing in Fauquier County is to connect with landowners, friends or neighbors who have ponds and then

“This is the biggest I’ve caught,” said Orlean resident David Frezza of the 22-inch bass weighing about 5 pounds he got in a local pond.

There are a plethora of fish just waiting to be caught,” he said. Without disclosing our location (sorry, folks!), I can report we recently pulled a few bass, with David landing a whopping 22-inch largemouth weighing about 5 pounds, while I only landed a smaller version of bass. “That was a thunder hit. It was a ball pulling that thing in,” said David. He said he tried half a dozen lures before using a gig with a black and yellow plastic frog to land his huge bass. David said he filleted the fish and
‘I LIKE A BIT OF CHAOS’
Coaches wonder how their sports will play out By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Headlines were made last month when football was banned this fall by the Virginia High School League. Also cut out and moved to a window from Feb. 15-May 1 were volleyball, field hockey, cross country, golf, competition and sideline cheerleading, which account for more total athletes. While most football coaches say they will continue to train and keep their players motivated, some volleyball coaches worry that they may not get their athletes back. “There may be people who want to focus on (preparing for) a spring sport,” said Fauquier High volleyball coach Diana Story. “There are so many variables to this. There are going to be things we will have to change...when and how.” The summer has always allowed fall coaches the unique ability to
conduct preseason conditioning and skill exercises over six weeks or more. Now, many players will be coming from basketball, swimming, winter track and wrestling seasons. Kettle Run volleyball coach Mike Howard said he’s worried about a player being hurt coming off a winter sport, since those are still planned for December. He also cited the possibility of insufficient time for players to be fit due to the lack of preseason work, especially with only two weeks before the first game. “This will be a big adjustment for me,” Howard admitted. “It will be harder to get to know the players the way you can in the summer.” Howard said he uses the summer to focus on team concepts. Now, he has only 14 days for tryouts, conditioning and installing the system. Weather could be more of a larger factor than usual for field hockey, cross country and football. Many

When it’s that hot, there’s not much you can do,” she said. She laughed about an assistant coach saying “long
split the filets with the owner of the pond. “There are better eating fish than bass, but to catch it right out of the water and cook it the same day just tastes great,” he said. While pond fishing is different from river fishing in approach and water movement, the outcome is hopefully the same: a creel full of edible fish. Local ponds in this area may have bluegill, largemouth bass, catfish and pan fish of several varieties. As I walked back to the car, the frogs were singing their summer song, and the fireflies twinkled. There was no place else I’d rather be. underwear” might play a role. Kettle Run field hockey coach Beth Todd sees chilly weather as a wild card. “I actually like a little bit of chaos,” she said. “The athletes will always remember that year they played in the winter,” she said, recalling an all-state selection game in the snow when she was in high school. “The ball hurt to hit, but it was so fun.” Liberty field hockey coach Katie Norman says her veteran squad will be ready to play after the long break. “I really think we’ll make anything work. They’ll have a new perspective, a new appreciation for sports,” said Norman, whose squad had a breakout 18-win year in 2019 and went to states for the first time since 2005. She stressed 75% of her girls had their 2020 spring seasons canceled by the pandemic, and they are hungry. “Our team is ready for whatever is thrown at us,” Norman said. Kettle Run’s Todd agreed. “The hurdle will only make us stronger and appreciate the time we have together more. Sometimes it takes deprivation for us to appreciate all that we have.”

HORSE BRIEFS Local steeplechases kick off fall season Officials of the Virginia Point-toPoint Foundation met with organizers of the Old Dominion Hounds Point-toPoint last week, confirming the local club is going forward with its Sept. 12 event, rescheduled from April 4. “They stand to attract an enormous crowd of horses,” said VPPF director Don Yovanovich. “Racehorse owners have kept their horses in training since this spring, hoping for a place to run. Looks like Old Dominion might catch a break with their position as the first meet of what might be a
changed fall season.” Two of the spring steeplechases were held this summer – the Middleburg Spring Races and Virginia Gold Cup, with tons of horses but zero spectators. The fall circuit in Virginia, Yovanovich explained, might be different. “The Phase 3 regulations say you can have up to 1,000 people at events. I’m trying to help the pointto-points navigate their way to making a little profit out of what is one of their biggest annual fundraisers. “If everybody plays by the rules, maybe Virginia can move into Phase 4, or whatever is next. “Middleburg Spring and Gold Cup
pulled it off. It wasn’t that hard.” Yovanovich said the Blue Ridge Hunt has a Sept. 19 point-to-point scheduled, too, though he hadn’t met with that club’s organizers yet. The two non-sanctioned events lead into what National Steeplechase Association president Al Griffin said should be a six-meet NSA series. He believes the Shawan Races in Maryland should take place as scheduled on Sept. 26 and hopes the Foxfield Races in Charlottesville will be able to run on Oct. 3. Virginia Fall is slated Oct. 10, Far Hills in New Jersey Oct. 17 and International Gold Cup at Great Meadow Oct. 24.
Griffin said that both Colonial Downs near Richmond and the Saratoga racecourse in New York have successfully hosted steeplechases in July and August, without spectators. He hopes that with strict compliance to state and local rules, outdoor field sports like horse racing can continue through an abbreviated season, hopefully to return to something closer to normal next spring. For the first time, the unsanctioned point-to-points are being planned and arranged in conjunction with the NSA schedule. Full details are at nationalsteeplechase.com.

OBITUARIES Vanessa Elease Jenkins Ward
Nancy F. Hodgson Nancy F. Hodgson, 58 years, of Sumerduck, VA passed peacefully on Monday, July 27th, 2020 at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton, VA. She was born on December 16th, 1961 in Fredericksburg, VA, daughter of the late, William & Lois Embrey. She was a 1980 graduate of Fauquier High School. She married the love of her life in 1982 and her only child was born in 1983. She was a huge fan of NASCAR and enjoyed going to races. She also loved to frequent the casinos. She dedicated her career to the Department of Defense where she retired in 2017. Nancy is survived by her husband of 38 years, David L. ‘Squatty’ Hodgson of Sumerduck, VA; son, Stephen Hodgson also of Sumerduck; and three sisters, Gloria J. Embrey-Jones of Havre de Grace, MD, Linda L Embrey of Oak Island, NC & Michaele Embrey of Orange, VA. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. In addition to her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by her sister, Kathy Embrey-English. The family accepted visitors from 10 to 11 am on Saturday, August 1st, 2020 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA followed by a service in the funeral home chapel at 11 am and interment at Cedar Grove cemetery in Bealeton, VA. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the National MS society. Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com.
Patricia Harrington McAvoy Patricia Harrington McAvoy died peacefully Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at her residence at the Villa at Suffield Meadows in Warrenton, VA. She was born June 13, 1936 to the late Paul E. and Bernice O’Leary Harrington. She grew up in the small town of Warren, in western PA, where she had numerous relatives on both sides of her family. Patty played piano in the orchestra and choir at Warren Area High School, graduating in 1954. The small town girl had an adventurous streak in her, and she decided to accept a scholarship to Connecticut College for Women. In those days, the trip back and forth generally involved an overnight train ride through New York City, which Patty enjoyed with a couple of her girlfriends. She graduated Conn College in 1958, and moved to West Hartford, CT to begin her teaching career. She lived with three lifelong friends during those years. In an effort to get closer to Warren PA, she took a teaching job in Buffalo, NY in 1963. It was in a parking lot in Buffalo that she spotted a gentleman who also had a Connecticut license plate. The chance meeting led to a courtship, and a year later she married Donald Thomas McAvoy. They soon adopted their daughter Katherine, and their son Donald Thomas, Jr was born the following year. Pat took time off from teaching to raise her two joys and returned to teaching at St. Jude Parochial School in Monroe, CT in 1980. She spent 20 years there as a devoted teacher in the 4th grade. Her husband Don passed away in early 2001, following an illness. Pat retired from teaching and started a new chapter. She attended daily mass, volunteered at St. Vincent DePaul, and travelled the world with various friends and relatives as her travel companions. Most of all, she enjoyed being “Grandma Bear” to her 5 grandchildren. She took great pride in her independence, and remained in CT until 2012, when she moved to Virginia. If you invited her to your home for a meal, she would bring a homemade dish to share, she’d compliment you on your meal and your home, and she’d offer to help clean the dishes. She shied away from technology, and preferred hand written letters to emails and social media. She always had a kind word and a positive outlook. Pat is survived by her daughter Kate McAvoy LeBlanc, her husband Don and their children A.J., Beth and Emily of Gainesville, VA, and her son Tom McAvoy and his wife Andrea and their boys, Jason and Jimmy of Warrenton, VA. Pat is also survived by her sister Jane Harrington Gerth and her husband David of Rockville, MD, along with many nieces, nephews and cousins. A private funeral service will be conducted at the convenience of the family and they hope to hold a celebration of life gathering as 2021 may allow. In lieu of flowers, the family recommends a donation in Pat’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org.

If you ask many individuals where they’d prefer to die, most would probably say at home in their own beds. Although that desire to spend their last moments surrounded by the things and people they love is understandable, it can also be extremely difficult to manage. For starters, even with visiting hospice care, much of the physical work is left to emotionally exhausted family members who might not be up to the tasks. Hospice workers usually serve more of an advisory role, explaining the care required rather than providing it. For those who can afford it, hiring additional help like a visiting nurse or home health aide to assist with the more difficult responsibilities can be a huge relief.The funeral home is an important part of any community. In addition to providing a variety of necessary services to the community such as burial services, cremation services, memorial services and celebrations of life, funeral homes also serve as resources for those grieving the loss of a loved one. To meet the unique needs and budgets of every family we serve, MOSER FUNERAL HOME offers a diverse range of funeral services and products. To learn more, please call (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.

He enlisted in the Army Air Forces in February 1942 following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was commissioned a 2/Lt and awarded Navigator Wings upon his graduation from Navigation School in Monroe, LA. He ferried aircraft to AAF units worldwide until 1944.

In 1950 he was recalled to active duty with the USAF and flew B-29 bomber combat missions over Korea. He later transitioned to the RB-47 Stratojet and flew reconnaissance missions worldwide, including secret flights over the Soviet Union, until 1959, when he transitioned to the B-58, the world’s first supersonic bomber. In January 1961, he and his crew were awarded the Thompson Trophy for setting several speed records in the B-58. The trophy now resides in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. Richard concluded his military career at Edwards Air Force Base, CA, where he was in charge of flight testing the bomb/navigation system for the FB-111 fighter-bomber and developing the bomb/navigation system for the B-1 bomber. In 1975, he retired with the rank of Lt. Colonel from the USAF, completing over 32 years of service.
