Fauquier County schools will be 100% virtual Superintendent of schools: Workforce challenges are ‘insurmountable’ By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
When faced with data on projected student enrollment and teacher availability, the Fauquier County School Board was forced to acknowledge that schools cannot open Aug. 24 with a blended instructional model of virtual and in-person teaching, as planned. Fauquier County Superintendent of Schools David Jeck told announced at Monday’s night’s school board meeting that the school division will have to be 100% virtual for the first term. “I’m sorry to have to make this statement. I want our kids to be in school,” he said. He said that he hopes the school division can resume face-to-face

Everyone at Thursday night’s Warrenton Town Council meeting agreed: Roll Out Warrenton has been a smashing success. Councilman Kevin Carter (Ward 5) went so far as to say the project “is one of the best decisions we’ve made in the last four years.” Roll Out Warrenton expands Warrenton businesses’ physical footprint into public areas so they can allow more space among customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The council enthusiastically decided to continue the program through the end of the year and reevaluate then whether to make the arrangement a seasonal or a permanent addition to Main Street and other areas around town. Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer said that she is still working with businesses to make adjustments to the program. The town created a website at rolloutwarrenton.com for those that are still looking to take advantage of the relaxed zoning rules that allow businesses to use INSIDE Classified............................................19 Opinion.................................................8 Obituaries...........................................17 Puzzles...............................................13 Sports.................................................11
have been trying to find a way to make it work, said board member Suzanne Sloane (Scott District). “We asked questions of staff all weekend. It just didn’t add up.” Jeck said he was surprised by the enrollment numbers. Based on two surveys of parents conducted over the last couple of months, he said he’d expected 10% of students to be learning 100% remotely. But the latest numbers show that out of 8,816 student registrations so far, 32.4% have chosen virtual – 1,324 elementary school students, 698 middle school students and 831 high school students. The school division has only 37 instructional staff ready to support virtual students. Why not move in-classroom teachers to the virtual model? “Then we wouldn’t have enough classroom teachers,” Jeck explained. Almost 400 special ed students with Individualized Education Programs registered for virtual instruction. The school division has only See SCHOOL, page 5

Fauquier County supervisors will hold a public hearing Thursday on whether to amend a county ordinance to allow for two additional polling places for in-person absentee voting ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. Supervisors will convene at 11 a.m. for a work session and at 6:30 p.m. for a regular meeting and five public hearings. Bob Zwick, vice chairman of the three-person Fauquier Electoral Board, said that the county is preparing for “massive” turnout among the county’s 52,000 registered voters – 80% or more. That would be higher than most presidential elections, when turnout is typically a little over 70%. “If we had 100% turnout, I’d be tickled pink,” he said. “We expect to have some very enthusiastic voters on both sides.” Fauquier County Registrar Alex Ables reported

Testing demand pushes changes in up-front costs, accessibility at Warrenton testing site Reacting to an explosion in requests for coronavirus testing, staff from Piedmont Family Practice, which operates Piedmont Urgent Care, met with county, town and Virginia Health Department officials Aug. 6 to discuss how best to proceed. Tracey Edwards, communications consultant for Piedmont Urgent Care, said, “We must once again adjust our procedures to meet our local demand.” Piedmont Urgent Care, at 493 Blackwell Road, Suite 101B, in Warrenton, is the only location locally where residents can obtain the rapid test for the virus. The clinic’s curbside COVID-19 testing initiative was undertaken in early April at the direction of the Rappahannock-Rapidan VDH COVID Testing Task Force. It was initially intended to screen patients for COVID-19 within the health dis-
A COVID-19 snapshot
Tuesday, Aug. 11 The Virginia Department of Health releases a summary of the state’s COVID-19 response every Friday. On Aug. 7 the key takeaways were: 14 health districts are experiencing surges, including eight in the Hampton Roads area. Surges in Arlington, PittsylvaniaDanville and Rappahannock-Rapidan have abated. New surges (re)emerged in Three Rivers, Piedmont, Prince William, Alleghany, Roanoke and Henrico. On current course, Virginia is projected to have almost 7,200 weekly confirmed cases by late August. The state-wide reproduction rate remains below 1.0.

trict, but over the last several weeks the program has grown to attract many customers from outside the area, said Edwards. She explained, “The ensuing congestion has precipitated traffic gridlock. This has endangered town and county residents driving through the area, the safety of our staff members and patients attempting to access their appointments within the Warrenton Professional Building.” The cost for coronavirus testing – for either the rapid test or the standard PCR test -- is now $75 for residents of the Virginia Department of Health Rappahannock-Rapidan region (Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Madison and Orange). Up until now, this has been the cost to all patients for the rapid test. The cost for residents outside of the Rappahannock-Rapidan area is $200 per person. Edwards said, “We New cases have topped 1,000 ten times since July 15.

Edwards explained that because of the overwhelming requests for testing and the time required, the clinic will not be able to bill patients’ insurance for either test. “We cannot submit insurance requests,” she said, “People must pay at the time of testing, and can self-submit it to their insurance companies” for reimbursement.
Hospitalizations

The Fauquier Health Wellness Center -- which has been closed since March 19 -- will begin a phased reopening on Monday, Aug. 17. Diabetes education and massage therapy are among the services that will be available as the center opens its doors to members. In late June, the Wellness Center resumed cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. The center implemented social distancing and cleaning and disinfection protocols at that time, said health system spokeswoman Sarah Cubbage. She said that masks are required for entry into the wellness center, but once members/patients check in, masks can be removed. Exercisers are asked to stay 10 feet apart. Cubbage said that those working out in the gym will not be able to use machines side-by-side with other exercisers; some machines have been relocated to allow more room between them. Disinfectant will be available for members to clean machines after each use, and members will be required to use hand sanitizer when entering and exiting the wellness center. Cubbage said that locker rooms will be open for changing, but showers are not permitted at this time. Masks are required in the locker rooms. She said staff is assessing whether or not rooms usually reserved for exercise classes can be used for individual exercises, which would allow exercisers to spread out further. No group classes will be offered initially; however, that decision will be reassessed. Personal training will resume, but Cubbage said details on that are not currently available. When asked about the re-opening, Julie Ross, director of orthopedics and ambulatory services, said, “We are excited to welcome our members back! Social distancing guidelines have been put into place to ensure continued safety of rehabilitation patients and members. Overall gym capacity will be monitored closely to ensure we do not exceed 75%, in keeping with the Phase 3 orders from Gov. Ralph Northam.” Anyone who has questions about COVID-19 protocols or about a new membership may call the center at 540-316-2640. The Fauquier Health Wellness Center is located at 419 Holiday Court, Suite 200 in Warrenton.

Evidence ruled admissible in kennel case By Robin Earl and Coy Ferrell Times Staff Writers
When Little Red Bella was first brought to the Fauquier SPCA at the end of January -- along with 75 other Doberman pinschers and French bulldogs -- she was only 6 weeks old. SPCA Executive Director Devon Settle at the time worried the tiny puppy wasn’t going to make it. She was lethargic and disinterested in anything but snuggling head-first into Settle’s lap. Now, Little Red weighs 60 pounds and is doing well. Little Red and the other dogs taken from the Canis Maximus kennel in Broad Run have been at the SPCA for months, in limbo. Because of legal wrangling and COVID-19 disruptions, civil and criminal charges against kennel owner Irina Barrett have been stalled. The first step in cases like this is a seizure hearing, which can allow the county to take legal possession of the animals. But that hearing has not been held yet. Barrett’s attorney Trey Mayfield claimed that the original search warrant that led to the county’s seizure of the animals was not properly obtained; he filed a motion to suppress evidence. On March 10, Fauquier County General District Court Judge Greg Ashwell upheld Mayfield’s motion. The criminal charges against Barrett were dismissed and the seizure hearing in the civil case was delayed. Doug Rogers of the commonwealth’s attorney’s office appealed Ashwell’s decision to the circuit court and oral arguments on the motion were held July 28. On Monday, Circuit Court Judge Jeanette Irby overturned Ashwell’s decision and denied the motion to suppress the evidence. Barrett’s attorney had argued in part that affidavits submitted by Cpl. Aaron Vescovi of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office failed to provide probable cause for the magistrate to grant a search warrant for Barrett’s home. The affidavits, Barrett’s counsel claimed, do not “contain a single fact that would lead a reasonable, objective person to believe a crime has occurred.” Irby issued an eight-page ruling that rejected this argument. “When read together, the affidavits present a substantial basis to show probable cause of the criminal act Barrett was charged with,” the ruling said. The document cites Vescovi’s sworn testimony that he had spoken with veterinary technicians “who observed Barrett bringing in neglected animals over an extended period of time.” The ruling continued, “Finally, the affidavit included Vescovi’s personal observations of a large number of dogs of Barrett’s property. … These allegations provide a substantial basis for concluding that there is a fair probability
that the item sought will be found at the place to be searched – in this case, that evidence of animal cruelty would be found in Barrett’s home.” One of the crucial aspects of the search warrant affidavits was the testimony of a man whose dog, called Yeva, died allegedly because of neglect or cruelty perpetrated by Barrett. Barrett’s counsel argued that the search warrant affidavits were invalid because they did not specify a specific time in which neglect allegedly occurred and that there was no evidence linking Barrett to the dog that was allegedly neglected. Irby agreed in her ruling that the search warrant affidavit – in contrast to the arrest warrant affidavit - did not detail any specific time Barrett allegedly committed a crime. “On its face then, the search warrant affidavit is insufficient because it does not allege a time frame for the bad acts.” But, Irby ruled, “The affidavits allege that between March 2019 and January 2020 Barrett failed to provide adequate care for Yeva, directly resulting in her death. The affidavits state that, pursuant to the necropsy report, the dog Yeva had signs of severe neglect and extreme suffering. Common sense guides the court in that neglect does not happen as a singular event. Rather it can be a series of events over a period of time.” The ruling also said that Vescovi’s testimony recorded in the criminal complaint against Barrett “does provide facts as to the time of the actions giving rise to an offense, and directly connects Yeva to Barrett.” At another point in the document, Irby addressed the district court’s earlier ruling. “[T]he court believes that the General District Court determination, based entirely on the lack of dates in the search warrant, did not properly consider the arrest warrant affidavit, filed simultaneously with the search warrant affidavit, which did provide a time period.” Rogers said that said that he will move to reinstate the felony criminal charges previously placed against Barrett. The kennel owner had been charged with one count of animal cruelty causing the death of an animal and one misdemeanor count of inadequate animal care on Jan. 28 and four additional felony counts of animal cruelty in February. The seizure hearing, long delayed, can now move forward, Rogers said, although he expects Barrett’s attorney to appeal Irby’s decision. Settle said after the judge’s ruling, “This is the best news we’ve had in a long time. We should have been here seven months ago.” She added, “These dogs deserve to have a life. They are doing really well, but they don’t deserve to live in a shelter forever.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

A small portion of the costs of establishing the new offices may be offset by money allocated as part of the federal CARES Act passed in March, Kozanecki explained. However, those funds can only be used for costs incurred directly as a result of the pandemic. “We were going to have these [satellite registrar’s offices] open regardless so we cannot use CARES money for the space other than COVID-related costs,” she said. “[E] arly voting was to occur regardless of COVID.

Open-air dining in Warrenton will continue until the end of 2020 WARRENTON, from page 1 Mayor Carter Nevill said that the council has decided to give the project more time. “The intent is to see what a full trial year looks like so we can make a better decision to make it permanent. Let’s learn what the problems are so we can find solutions.” Councilman Brett Hamby (Ward 3) suggested a continuation until October, “We started this to help businesses keep going during the pandemic, but it’s been a hit all around. Let’s continue it until the weather gets bad.” Each successive council member pushed it a little further. Carter said, “My suggestion is January 1, 2021. We could put outside heaters out there. It might be great.” Nevill said he’s heard nothing but positive comments about Roll Out Warrenton. “Gone are the comments that ask, ‘Why can’t we be more like Culpeper?’” James Hartman, councilman for Ward 4, said, “It’s been an experiment, and a successful one. Let’s keep it going and see what happens.” Heather Sutphin, councilwoman for Ward 1, agreed, “Let’s not cut it off at a certain day. Let’s see how it
goes.” Schaeffer said that she anticipated minor problems with leaf removal and snow removal with the sidewalks of Old Town extended into parking spaces but thought those issues could be resolved strategically. And if the council eventually decided to make the business-friendly project permanent, businesses would be asked to pay a permit fee for use of the taxpayer-owned public spaces. She suggested a fee of $100 per month if Roll Out Warrenton is a temporary project; $500 per season if the project proceeds on a seasonal basis; an annual fee of $750 would be assessed if the project becomes permanent. Schaeffer said she felt most businesses would be willing to pay the permit fees if necessary. Another reason to wait before making a final decision is a $1 million Virginia Department of Transportation grant that is still pending. The Main Street project would aim to improve walkability and highlight Warrenton’s historic assets. It is a longstanding idea that was recently updated in a draft plan by Bohler Engineering. The plan includes raised crosswalks to slow down traffic, bump

outs (like the ones installed near Fifth Street) and space for sidewalk dining. It also maps out an additional crosswalk near First Street. A possible directional star design embedded in the road at Courthouse Square would provide visual interest. The plan includes several features that would highlight Warrenton’s historical significance. Main Street between Second and Third streets would be repaved with brick, to mark the historic crossroads of the town. The two gateways to Old Town -- the intersection of Alexandria Pike and Main Street and the intersection of Calhoun and Main streets – would feature mid-street signs to welcome
Superintendent of schools: Workforce challenges are ‘insurmountable’ SCHOOL, from page 5 Each school has an information technology resource teacher. They will be responsible for teaching parents how to help their children manage the technology of learning. Each school will produce a schedule for online classes. Students will experience activities in real time for two days and spend two days working independently but with teacher support. Some lessons will be livestreamed and others will be posted as videos. One day a week will be a planning day for teachers, when they will also be available to provide extra help to students who need it.
Technology challenges
As in the spring, the school division will provide devices and/or hotspots to students who need them. Although Chromebooks and hotspots are on order, Fauquier is competing with every other school division for the same technology. Jeck said, though, that he believes the division will be able to provide equipment to every student who needs it when school starts. Devices are less of a challenge than Internet access. In addition to personal hotspot devices – which only work when there is a cellular tower within range – hotspots positioned on 10 buses parked throughout the county will continue to be available; more powerful county-sponsored hotspots are positioned throughout the county as well. In a pinch, students can park in school parking lots to use the school Wi-Fi. And for students who just don’t have access to Internet service at all, hard copies of schoolwork will be given out. School bus drivers could be called into service to deliver the packets, or to pick up schoolwork from children and deliver them to their teachers. Video lessons copied onto thumb drives could be delivered to students who don’t have Internet.
Nutrition support
Jeck said that about 150,000 meals have been distributed to families in need since schools closed in March. Meals will continue to be provided, but the delivery models may change. Currently, meals are distributed to students from locations throughout the county several times a week. The school division may have the school kitchens remain open so that parents can pick up meals at specified times. No decisions have been made as yet.
Coming together
All school board members acknowledged that the decisions surrounding whether or not to resume in-person teaching has divided the county. Susan Pauling (Center District) was emphatic that the community needs to come together for the good of all. “Social media has been toxic. The dialog on community pages has been atrocious. As a small community, we need to reevaluate how we discuss these issues.” She referred to intense pressure from the Fauquier Education Association to open schools with 100% virtual learning, adding, “Not everyone on our teaching staff is a member of the FEA. This decision was not a sellout. It was not a cave in. We made the best decision for our community.” She encouraged the community to come togeth-
visitors to Old Town. The permanent markers would also serve as traffic-calming features. The VDOT grant is for funds up to $950,000 through the VDOT FY2021-2022 Transportation Alternatives Program. The VDOT grant would require matching funds from the town, in an 80/20 split. VDOT’s portion would be 80 percent ($760,000); the town’s would be 20% ($190,000). If the VDOT grant is approved, the concepts developed in the Roll Out Warrenton project could be incorporated into the new design. Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com
er as school administration, teachers and parents move forward, “Let’s be wise, smart, gracious adults.” Lauren Brill, president of the FEA, said in a statement after the meeting, “As we move forward and focus on our work ahead without the fear of our safety, the FEA is encouraging you to please reach out to our school board members, Dr. Jeck, and our senior staff once more. Please let them know just what this decision means to you! They have worked harder than any over the last several months to bring our students back to school and to work toward a year that is undisputedly the hardest one that any has yet to see in their careers! Their decisions have been with the best of intentions and we thank them, no matter their position, for the work that they do for their school community and staff!” School Board Chairman Duke Bland (Marshall District) said that in his 15 years on the school board, the last six months have been the most difficult. “All of us wanted our kids in school, all of us wanted face-to-face learning.” “We have no one to blame except Mr. COVID. We have to face facts and accept reality,” said Jeck. He also said that he and his staff are bracing for the hundreds of questions parents will have in the next few weeks. Litter-Reder said she wasn’t looking forward to facing her high school freshman at home. “He’s not going to be happy. He was going to do ROTC … he was going to be in the band. He can’t do any of that … “At the end of the day, it was a crap decision to have to make.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Police: Child safe after being taken from home; mother was allegedly assaulted
After being taken from a family birthday party, a 3-year-old child has been returned to their mother, safe and unharmed, said Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Steven Lewis. The child’s father has been charged with domestic assault, destruction of property, DUI, eluding, child endangerment, possession of marijuana and several other traffic violations. Fauquier County deputies responded to a report of a domestic assault on Leeds Manor Road on Wednesday, Aug. 5, a little before 11 p.m. The person who reported the assault told deputies that she had been assaulted by her child’s father, according to Lewis. The vic-
tim reported that the father showed up unannounced while the victim was hosting a birthday party for her daughter. The victim said that the father became intoxicated and assaulted her, explained Lewis. He added that a deputy on the scene reported there were visible signs of assault. After the altercation, the father damaged a screen door and took the 3-year-old child and fled the scene in a vehicle, said Lewis. While sheriff’s deputies were at the Leeds Manor Road home, a deputy patrolling the area located the vehicle with the father and child. The deputy attempted to stop the vehicle at Springs Road/Harts Mill Road at approximately 11:20 p.m. The driver refused to stop, and the deputies pursued, Lewis said. The vehicle was
eventually stopped without further incident on Turnbull Road. Lewis said that deputies identified the driver as David Minor III, 45, of Warrenton. He was taken into custody and charged. He is being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Born in 1960? Sound the alarm on a glitch in Social Security If you are a baby boomer turning 60 in 2020, here’s something you need to know: without a legislative fix, your lifetime Social Security benefits are very likely to be permanently reduced, even if you wait to retire until full retirement age. Reduced. Permanently. Permanently reduced. The reason for this is due to the formula the Social Security Administration uses to calculate benefits. The Social Security Administration, according to its website, takes a “snapshot of average wages of every worker in the country and factors it into your benefit calculation.” This means benefits are based upon average wages across all sectors of the economy. Due to COVID-19, wages are projected to be down nearly 6%,
as measured by the Average Wage Index. And, because each subsequent year’s benefits are based upon the recipient’s first year’s benefits, this cohort can anticipate reduced benefits for the rest of their lives. The news gets even worse for wage-earners with significantly higher-than-average incomes as, dollar-wise, they stand to lose much more. Then there is the knock-on effect. For survivors claiming a deceased spouse’s benefits, their monthly benefits will also be permanently reduced, as will those claiming Social Security Disability Income. So, how did this problem arise? Social Security was updated in 1977, and at that time no provision was made for dealing with a cri-
sis that wrought devastation upon nearly all sectors of the economy – like, say, might occur with a global pandemic. There was ample warning indicating protections needed to be added when the dark economic times of 2008-2009 served as a shot over the bow. However, because the AWI fell only briefly and relatively insignificantly, no legislative action was taken to correct the glitch that came to light. There is a proposal afoot to fix the problem. On Aug. 4, Rep. John Larson (D-CT), chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee, published an op/ed in which he calls upon “Republicans in Congress [to] join with House Democrats and correct this anomaly with the Social Security COVID Correction and
Equity Act.” Chairman Larson’s proposed act would patch this hole and prevent a reduction that would have lifelong effects on a cohort already suffering financially on the doorstep of their retirement years. Boomers have always been known for getting things done. But it’s hard to accomplish a task if there is no awareness the job needs doing. Contact your congressperson and let him/her know the time to fix this is now. If you do not know who your congressperson is, you can find that information at https://www.house. gov/htbin/findrep. Your future benefits – or the benefits of one you love – are riding on this. And the clock is ticking.

Protecting one another from the virus would help make our country great again I went to a local grocery store recently. In addition to displaying signs with the governor’s mandate to wear face masks, the store had an employee at the entrance reminding customers to wear their masks and offering free masks to those without one. As I was shopping, two men came down my aisle holding their masks in their hands. I politely said that they should put their masks on. One became very agitated and told me that it was none of my business. I replied that it is my business and that I did not want myself or others to get sick because of his refusal to wear a mask. He began to approach me, still agitated. I said that “The president is finally wearing his mask.” The man stopped and said “Really? He’s wearing a mask?” I told him that if he watched FOX News, he’d see pictures of the president wearing a mask. He paused for a moment and then put his mask on, telling the other man to put his on, too. This peacefully resolved incident prompted me to write this letter. Years ago, laws were enacted that require occupants of a vehicle to wear a seat belt to protect their health in the event of a crash. Laws are also in place that mandate the use of child seats for children who are under a certain age
and for those who do not meet height and weight standards. Similarly, many states have laws that require motorcyclists to wear a helmet. There are also laws that prohibit drugs from being dispensed without a doctor’s prescription. All of these laws are meant to protect the individual’s health and if violated, the police can issue a summons which can carry a hefty fine and in the case of drugs, can result in prison time. Other than the outrage first exhibited by avid cyclists over the helmet law, which the vast majority now abide by in those states that require it, I can’t think of any other instances where ordinary people (other than criminals) refused to comply with a law or an executive mandate aimed to protect health. Until now. While my story about the president wearing a mask is true – there are photos of the rare times he has done so - he continues to politicize the issue by refusing to say that everyone in the U.S. should wear a mask unless legitimate health concerns prohibit someone from doing so. For those people, the president should emphatically and publicly suggest that they limit their exposure to others. The president rarely wears a mask; he has not made an unambiguous statement about them and continues to gather in situations where others
are not wearing one. On this particular issue, the president’s failure to lead is having disastrous results across the country with ever-increasing infection rates and deaths. His example encourages his followers to flaunt mask wearing and proclaim that it’s a violation of their rights and personal “freedom” to ask them to do so. I’m quite sure that some of them think that “if the president isn’t going to wear one, neither will I.” In so doing, these people are putting the rest of us, who are trying to follow the science and the lawful executive mandates, at a greatly increased risk of infection. Whether or not one supports the man in the Oval Office, we should all support our fellow citizen’s right to remain healthy and to avoid risking infection from a disease that is ravaging the country. If you really want to “Make America Great Again”, wear your mask! A “great” country shouldn’t stand idly by as COVID-19 rages. A “great” county should not be among the world’s leaders in infection rates and deaths. A “great” country should follow the guidance from the world’s best scientists and finally, a “great” country should recognize that its elected leader just might have gotten the mask thing wrong.

Letters to the Editor
What would the Greatest Generation have done? I believe we need to really and truly ask ourselves why it is so important for kids to return to the schoolhouse in the immediate future. So important, that we are willing to risk their health, and the health and lives of their extended families, social circles and school staff members. What reasons are so imperative that we are willing to ignore the facts, most experts and the precedence of the past? We closed our schools to keep our children safe -- can we now really and truly say we know how to do that? The
national death toll and resurgent spikes tell us we can’t. During the Great Depression, when the economy truly crashed, when banks closed their doors and unemployment skyrocketed, when teachers and public servants went unpaid and thousands of schools were closed for years --- what happened to all of those students? The fact is we now look back and call them “The Greatest Generation.” Americans and their children proved to be resilient, resourceful, flexible and, above all, they survived.
So, again, why is it so important that children return to a schoolhouse now -- before we have the pandemic under control? Are we afraid that we have gone soft and that neither we nor our children can succeed outside the “box?” In our age of technology, we have options of which “The Greatest Generation” could not have conceived, so why do we find ourselves stuck in a faceto-face teaching paradigm that acts like we don’t?

Faith Community Nursing certificate offered free for local RNs
The PATH Foundation has partnered with Shenandoah University to offer a Faith Community Nursing certificate program at no cost to registered nurses in Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper counties. Applications for the hybrid, online certificate course are open until Aug. 13. Faith Community Nursing is a nursing specialty focused on wholebody and spiritual care. The FCN certificate program is designed to give registered nurses a foundation to create accessible health programs for their faith communities, whether a congregation is gathering remotely or in person. “Some folks might feel more comfortable speaking to a trained nurse that they know personally from their faith community, as opposed to some more traditional healthcare settings,” said Christy Connolly, president and CEO of the PATH Foundation. “By facilitating this training, we hope to increase access to care in our area.” Faith Community Nursing program graduates have completed several programs in their communities. Sandy Shipe, a 2018 graduate of the program, installed an AED machine in her church, and set up tables to measure blood pressure and perform pulse and BMI checks. She consid-
ers faith community nursing the perfect opportunity to connect her faith and her nursing skills. She said, “I know that there’s a need for care, and I want to be a resource for my church community. This program is a chance to make a real difference.” The FCN certificate program will run from Aug. 21 to Oct. 23. Students must be registered nurses and include a clergy reference form in their application. To learn more information about the application, program or requirements, those interested may visit https://www.su.edu/ nursing/faith-community-nursing/.

Marshall civic group protests against Main Street project
About 30 interested individuals stopped by a demonstration/walk sponsored by the Marshall Business & Residents Association on Saturday morning. President Mary Wilkerson and Mary-Elizabeth Wilkerson, secretary of the organization, took the opportunity to share their opposition to the Main Street improvements project approved by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. The MBRA maintains that the Mary-Elizabeth Wilkerson talks with project is unnecessary, expensive a local resident about the VDOT/ and would impose an unfair tax on Fauquier County project. residents of Marshall’s special taxing district. The Wilkersons said they are encouraging residents to appear at Citizen’s Time at the Aug. 13 supervisors meeting to press supervisors to abandon the project. Deputy County Administrator Erin Kozanecki said that that Marshall Main Street improvements project was bid out in late June, and the bidding process was closed Aug. 4. She said, “We are currently in the bid review process, which includes review by VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration. This process normally takes about 30 days, but we have noticed that COVID has slowed down reviews at the state/federal level.” takeout food,” including Italian sausage, cheesesteaks, gyros, chicken pitas, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, French fries, corn dogs, funnel cakes, fried Oreos, candy apples, popcorn, cotton candy, freshsqueezed lemonade and more.

More recently both the Fredericksburg and Prince William County Fairs have been canceled; along with the State Fair of Virginia.” “This is the next best thing that we can do for the community,” Bailey said in the news release.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Proposed Marshall Main Street project should be canceled More than 10 years ago, the original grant applicant for the proposed Marshall Main Street Project was the Marshall Business & Residents Association, a decades-old civic group which was reorganized into a 501(c)(4), becoming eligible to apply for the grant to improve all of Main Street. I understand these grant applications were written for the MBRA by a real estate developer/ investor who moved into the area, won election to the board of supervisors for the Marshall District, and then shrunk the project down to only one block of Main Street. Many in Marshall thought the project was dead after all these years, but then in September 2018,
current Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel and Fauquier County publicly unveiled the reworked plans to a large crowd at an MBRA meeting at the Marshall Community Center auditorium, where Mary Leigh told us all that this project is "a done deal" and that we had an absolute "dropdead date" of November 2018 for this project to go to bid or we would lose the grant money. There have been many things we have been told about this project which have turned out to be untrue. In the fall of 2019, BOS Chairman Chris Butler stated that this project is not a done deal "until the contracts are awarded." The proposed Marshall Main Street project has been in the works
for more than 10 years and has changed many times without public hearings. Now Chairwoman McDaniel has continued to be dismissive to those who oppose it, even though she received 128 form letters opposing the project signed by residents and businesses located mainly in the Special Lighting Tax District in Marshall, plus petitions with hundreds of signatures opposing the project. I feel that we have been ignored, misinformed and misled. With this project, county taxpayers will then become responsible for maintenance of project's sidewalks, etc. It’s important to cancel this flawed bait-and-switch project now! Year-after-year, this pending
project has prevented Marshall from receiving VDOT's normal re-paving of our Main Street, repair of our sidewalks, and updating of our handicap ramps at no additional cost to taxpayers. Once the project is canceled, we can get on VDOT's schedule for just such improvements! Come to the board of supervisors meeting this Thursday, Aug. 13, at the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton, to speak at Citizens' Time starting at 6:30 p.m. sharp and ask them to cancel the project now!

REID, MULKERIN ARE WAKEFIELD ATHLETES OF YEAR Reid hasn’t met a sport he can’t squash By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
James Reid is never afraid of trying a new sport, probably because the odds are he’ll excel at it. He took up golf this summer and is now smoking 300-yard drives. His Wakefield School career is a testament to that versatility. A longtime rugby standout, Reid gave up the sport in the 11th grade and went on to throw his weight around as a lacrosse star, squash captain and soccer player, leading to his selection as Fauquier Times 2020 Wakefield Boys Athlete of the Year. He also shares co-valedictorian honors with Chelsea Mulkerin, the Fauquier Times 2020 Wakefield Girls Athlete of the Year, and his girlfriend. Reid, who lives in Purcellville and has attended Wakefield since first grade, was born in South Africa and came to the U.S. in 2007. Like his two older brothers, Reid started in rugby early. Brother Michael, 24, is a pro who played last season for Old Glory D.C. in Major League Rugby. James also had success, representing the U.S. in the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy (EIRA) tour to Ireland. Reid said his passion for rugby dwindled in his junior year. With his strength, athleticism and size (6-0, 195 pounds), he made an easy transition to lacrosse as his No. 1 sport. “It’s similar because you have to do multiple things at the same time,” said Reid. He said new sports fit his personality. “I’m pretty extroverted. I like conversations with people, and I enjoy trying new things. Wakefield is almost a school where you have to be an extrovert, because everyone knows each other,” he said. Reid played varsity lacrosse in eighth and 11th grade, earning first team Delaney Athletic Conference honors, as well as team MVP, as a junior midfielder. He was set to play as a senior, but the

A couple for over three years, James Reid and Chelsea Mulkerin are Fauquier Times 2020 Wakefield Boys and Girls Athletes of the Year. pandemic wiped that out. Reid also exceled at a sport that’s unique to Wakefield: squash. He began playing in seventh grade and was team captain as a junior, receiving the Coach’s Award twice, in 2016 and 2020. Reid talks proudly of Wakefield’s surge in squash, which began with construction of four courts in 2016 thanks to some generous donors. Wakefield has become a force at the national tournament each year. “It’s really unique, it’s crazy,” said Reid. The school got English pro player Anthony Graham to come build the program. “He completely changed the squash program,” said Reid. For Reid, the cardio-intense skill set and unique shots didn’t come easy at first, but he grew into Wakefield’s No. 2-seeded player. Reid said he won two of his three matches at the national tournament. “I became more skilled, more refined,” he said. “As it is with most sports at a high level, it’s consistency. Anyone can play a good shot, but you need to play it over and over.” He said his growth came with a bigger commitment, noting he did not play much squash year-round. See REID, page 12
Mulkerin got her kicks in 4 sports By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Chelsea Mulkerin made a heartfelt decision when she came to Wakefield School in 2016 as a freshman. Most of her club soccer teammates on the high-caliber VSA 02 NPL squad were feeding into Battlefield, and that’s where the Haymarket resident was slated to go as well. But she was intrigued by Wakefield and applied. When she was awarded the school’s Archwood Scholarship, offering 50% tuition for four years, that sealed the deal, although she admits, “It was the hardest decision I ever made.” By going to Wakefield, she opted out of playing for a three-time state champion in the state’s largest classification, a team often watched by NCAA Division I coaches. In return, she embraced a tight-knit school with great academics and the ability to play different sports. She excelled in volleyball, basketball, squash and soccer as a Fighting Owl, ending her career as Fauquier Times 2020 Wakefield Girls Athlete of the Year. She was also valedicto-
rian, sharing the honor with James Reid, Wakefield’s Boys Athlete of the Year, and her boyfriend. In soccer she made first team Delaney Athletic Conference for three years and led the Owls in scoring each year. Always a defensive player, Mulkerin transitioned to striker at Wakefield, and thrived, scoring 18 goals as a junior. “I liked how different it was from the position I’d been playing for eight to 10 years. I was tired of playing defense and almost quit soccer, but playing offense brought back my passion for the game. As an offensive player, I knew how the defenders thought and knew how to get around them,” she said. “It was an easy transition.” The 5-foot-7 Mulkerin relished playing with her younger sister Lainey, a rising junior. She’s wistful her final season was canceled. “I was excited, I was going to be captain and get to play my senior year with my little sister. We were going to be the dynamic duo,” said Mulkerin. “Playing soccer with her at Wakefield is one of my best memories of high school. She is my secret weapon on the field, and we have an incredible dynamic when we play together.” Mulkerin was a setter and outside hitter in volleyball her freshman and sophomore years. She played competitive basketball as a club player, but only competed at Wakefield her freshman year. She picked up squash at Wakefield and played three years. As a senior, she was the only girl on the squad, played as the No. 6 seed and was team captain. Her start in squash came after her parents won a free lesson at an auction. Noting she was a freshman and some popular upperclassmen were running the session, “I was mortified to go. Lainey went with me and when we got there, we could not hit the ball. We were wearing these ugly goggles and it was so embarrassing. But I ended up loving the sport.” See MULKERIN, page 12
Fisher steps down as FHS wrestling coach By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times

Debbie Fisher (left) is a Fauquier High science teacher. She’s pictured with Virginia Tech-bound son Sam and retiring Falcon wrestling coach Doug.
Fauquier High wrestling coach Doug Fisher recently resigned after 10 years establishing the Falcons’ state dynasty program. Fauquier won its third state championship of Fisher’s tenure last winter to go with 2015 and 2016 crowns. Fauquier was the state runnerup in 2014, 2017 and 2018. Fisher explained that the timing was right. Son Sam will be wrestling at nationally-ranked Virginia Tech after becoming the first Fauquier County wrestler to win four state championships.
“That’s part of it,” Fisher began. “I just felt I had done what I had set out to do, and I was comfortable where I was. It’s a good stopping point and I wanted to do something else.” Eight Falcons won a total of 16 individual state championships in Fisher’s 10 years, and dozens earned all-state status. The Falcons won eight of the last 10 team regional championships (tying Liberty once). Fisher geared his team in systematic fashion to be healthy for the postseason and it showed. “He’s done a great job with our program,” said FHS activities director Mark Ott, who praised Fisher’s
dedication and character. “Doug is a class act,” Ott continued, pointing to the coach’s emphasis on providing the Falcons with the best equipment, competition, travel and support, “He provided opportunities for his kids if they wanted to challenge themselves,” Ott said. “He’s also very humble. He doesn’t want to take credit for what his wrestlers have accomplished, but without him there, would they have accomplished what they did?” As far as a successor, Ott said the county’s human resources department has instituted a freeze. “So, I can’t accept any applications,” Ott lamented.

MULKERIN, from page 11 She said squash helped bring her and Reid together. “I started dating him that summer. We played a lot together. He’s been on the team since seventh grade. I wanted to get better and be as good as him.” She said the high cardio demands of squash help her cope with a circulation disorder she has called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which sees an abnormally large increase in heart rate when a person goes from a horizontal to standing position. Mulkerin said her heart rate is often 200 beats a minute while exercising and can be around 100 when resting. “It’s been described as constantly living in a state of what feels like a hangover. A lot of times POTs patients are too tired to work out,” she said. For Mulkerin, working out is a

About his relationship with co-valedictorian Mulkerin, both acknowledge it’s competitive — both athletically and academically — and beneficial. “We compete so much it shows, I guess. She’s way better than me in soccer. She’s such a good soccer player,” he said. “I don’t think we would have done it without each other,” said Mulkerin, noting they had the same GPA right down to the decimal. Mulkerin says that Reid is such a versatile athlete, it’s scary. “He’s someone that can play any sport. He’s big and strong,” she said, noting he’s hard to beat in squash. Says Reid, “It’s not like I always win things. In academic areas she beats me. It’s give-and-take.” Finally, after rugby, squash, lacrosse, soccer, and now golf, plus his skills at water and snow skiing, what other sports could be on the horizon for Reid? Maybe he should try the decathlon.

I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A TEAM TO BUILD THREE NEW HOMES IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OF WARRENTON. THERE ARE ONLY THREE SMALL LOTS AVAILABLE, SO EACH NEW HOME WILL BE SITUATION ON A 10,000(+-) SQ FOOT LOT. LARGE ENOUGH FOR A SMALL GARDEN AND LAWN AREA, AND STILL AFFORD PRIVACY. THESE NEW HOMES WILL BE CUSTOM BUILT FOR THE BUYER, BUT ALL THE WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS WILL BE VERY HIGH END. HIGH CEILINGS, MAIN LEVEL MASTER, GARAGE OPTION, AND OPTIONS FOR ALL MATERIALS. THE BUYERS, I BELIEVE, WILL BE OWNERS OF FARMS AND ESTATES WHO WANT SOMETHING SMALLER, BUT OF HIGH QUALITY.

SouthStar Construction builder is a turn key service construction company from design to permitting to final construction. SouthStar construction LLC’s principals have over 70 years in the construction, development and design industry. SouthStar Construction provides residential general contracting services of varying levels including construction, additions and renovations. Our roots originate in high quality aesthetic and functional design ranging from large award winning communities to smaller infill projects. Warren Watkins has been involved in construction and development since 1987 and manages a variety of aspects of the business. Suzy Watkins is our Interior designer and a Principal with Sterling Design and SouthStar Construction. She has an exemplary eye for style and is able to work with clients to meet their vision. She has been a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers since 1988 with several degrees of Interior Design. Our in-house Architect, Barb Teach, has an architecture degree from the University of Virginia. Barb works with clients throughout the design a and construction process to meet their needs. Our permit plans are detailed and finely tuned to your vision. All permitting and submittal are overseen by Barb. With a permit in hand, Greg Killmeyer oversees daily construction activities coordinating work and final occupancy.
The Fisher Lane neighborhood in Warrenton is conveniently located within walking distance of Old Town, which hosts some of the finest restaurants and shops in Fauquier County, not to mention a thriving culture and social life. Located next to the St. James Episcopal Church Old Rectory House, Barb has come up with traditional design elevations that blend in seamlessly with the historic setting of Culpeper Street while still maintaining a modern touch. The cottage design provides a first floor master bedroom, office, living area, gas fireplace, kitchen, along with a second level that occupies two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Design modifications are easily handled by barb. All finishes can be custom selected by buyer with the assistance of our Interior Designer. Unlike other firms that leave selections up to their clients, we guide our clients every step of the way helping them make the myriad decisions that go into a construction project. One of the trends we are seeing is smaller homes with higher end finishes, as opposed to larger structures that don’t feel warm and inviting. This translates into less square footage to heat, clean and maintain, but more desirable materials such as stone countertops, hardwood floors, custom built-ins and high end appliances and plumbing fixtures.
Warrenton is a beautiful town, steeped in history with many large majestic homes and a wonderful downtown featuring local shops and businesses that seems to appeal to everyone. But... if you have just sold your 4 bedroom home and are now considering “downsizing options” and looking for a smaller detached home with all of the high end finishes you have grown accustomed to - there is nothing available to satisfy your need within the Warrenton historic area. What you do find are townhouse and larger home developments and the occasional large renovated historic home for sale. But that’s not what everyone is necessarily looking for. That is why I am excited about this project. We are offering a different choice. Just imagine a “cottage style” detached home with tall ceilings and all of the high end finishes you have grown accustomed to located within walking distance to downtown-but on a cozy sized lot - and all within walking distance to downtown- but on a cozy sized lot - and all within a smaller house size footprint. In our option this is the “perfect solution” for buyers. Up until now, nobody has provided a product for this segment of the real estate market. Imagine, instead of the time and expense of maintaining a large home and yard, you now have additional time to explore and enjoy everything that historic Warrenton has to offer.

HELPING THEM COPE When planning your own funeral, it is wise to remember that while you may be the guest of honor, the ceremony isn’t exactly for you. Funerals and memorial services are important for helping loved ones begin the mourning process. Being surrounded by others who cared for the deceased and spending time remembering him or her can lessen the weight of loss for many people. While you should have a say in certain matters, you should also take some time to discuss with your family what they feel they will need after your passing. Death is inevitable, and the more we can have prepared for it, the easier it is for those we leave behind. Preneed funeral plans can be made at any time and offer many advantages. Funeral homes can help you preplan a funeral for yourself, your spouse, or a parent. When the time comes for you to arrange funeral services for a loved one, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 3473431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “I think being in love with life is a key to eternal youth.” - Doug Hutchison
