Remembering 9/11

‘I want to stop the suffering…

These kids are sick.’

Dr. Joshua Jakum will host Zoom event to address parents’ COVID questions

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Dr. Joshua Jakum, pediatrician with Piedmont Pediatrics in Warrenton, said his practice is seeing children with COVID-19. “We are diagnosing them, lots of them. From kids in daycare all the way through high school.”

The children Jakum has seen have COVID symptoms; some have been hospitalized. He said that one of his COVID patients is only a month old.

He added, “Fortunately, I have not lost any patients to COVID.” PHOTO BY HEATHER HUGHES

The day the world changed

The memories from that sunny, terrible Tuesday morning are indelible.

At 9:37 a.m. on September 11, 2001, less than an hour after the first hijacked jet struck the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan and 34 minutes after a second crashed into the south tower, terrorists who commandeered a third jet slammed it almost at ground level into the west side of the Pentagon.

Chris Granger, then a firefighter-paramedic in Woodbridge, was nearly four hours into his shift when the call came for help from the Arlington County Fire Department. Then-Lt. Cmdr. Jon Krietz was on the bridge of the USS Enterprise in the Arabian Sea. Bill Glenz, a contractor for the Federal Aviation Administration, was listening to the radio while working on a staffer’s computer. Claude Davenport, an investigator for the U.S. Customs Service – now Customs & Border Protection -- was on duty at headquarters a few blocks

First of two weekly articles on the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. from the White House.

Glenz, Davenport and others in the panicked Capital that morning feared that the White House or U.S. Capitol would be the next target. Later they made long, sometimes circuitous journeys home to Fauquier County, reuniting with loved ones they had struggled to reach in the first hours when cell phones were useless.

With the U.S. war in Afghanistan now ended and the Taliban back in charge in Kabul after two decades, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks is prompting many to relive that day and to honor those who paid a price for defending the country in Operation Enduring Freedom, the second Gulf War and beyond.

This week and next, we share some of their stories.

Video address also discusses quarantined students, staff shortages

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

David Jeck, superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools, posted a video update for parents on Aug. 27. With COVID-19 case numbers still rising in the county, he addressed the large number of students who have been quarantined after only two weeks of school and how staffing shortages have affected transportation and instruction.

His most heartfelt remarks – about how some parents are treating school employees -- came at the end of the brief address.

Jeck said, “Something that’s been on my mind the last week that’s very troubling to me, and I want to talk to you about it. … We’ve had folks who have been really disrespectful towards our staff and have been verbally abusive towards staff members.”

He said that teachers, administrators, secretaries, members of the central office staff and school board members have been on the receiving end of some harsh language. “And it really needs to stop. Now, granted, I know, I’m only talking to a very, very small percentage of folks who are frustrated and feel like the appropriate thing to do is lash out at staff. … And so, we’ll do what we have to do to put an end to it. ... You know, we’re better than that.”

Clearly disturbed by the behavior of some parents, Jeck said, “When things like that happen. I always think about my own kids and would I want my kids to see me behaving like that in a school or, you know, over the phone … and the answer is, of course, no, I wouldn’t.

“So, I appreciate … the vast majority of folks who treat staff with respect and dignity. ... We expect our staff to treat stakeholders and parents with the same degree of re-

“I’ve been here eight years, and something I’ve always appreciated about the school community is our ability and our willingness to be respectful towards each other. And that’s taken a bit of a hit here recently, and it’s very concerning, and it really needs to stop.

“Staff, on any level, they’re there to help you. … And, yes, I understand that we’re all in a tough place right now. We all get that. And so, it’s important that we are able to empathize with each other.”

Teacher, staff shortages

Jeck also addressed workforce challenges that the school district is currently facing.

He said the school division is wrestling with a shortage of bus drivers, custodians and school nutrition workers. He said, “I would like to tell you that we’re going to fix this and it’s going to get better sometime soon, but I really can’t promise you that. We’ve had to do quite a bit of out-of-the-box thinking and try to be creative with filling in some holes, personnel wise.”

With 20 bus driver vacancies, he said, many drivers are making double runs, which means some buses arrive late to school. “I think we’ve avoided some really major late bus issues. … So, we’re doing the best we can. We need more bus drivers” as well as custodians and nutrition workers.

On Tuesday, Jeck elaborated that the staff shortages aren’t so much about COVID-19 as they are about the shortage of teachers and staff generally. The school division started the school year short 40 teachers and 20 bus drivers. Prince William See DR. JECK, page 11

County’s pollution reduction efforts falling short of state-mandated targets

2023 deadline approaching for mitigation projects yet to be built

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

For years, Fauquier County officials promised that they would build retention ponds and swales to filter pollutants from the stormwater that runs from county property into the Chesapeake Bay. But nothing was done.

Finally, this summer, they designed four such projects. But even when those are built, the county will be less than halfway to meeting the state-mandated pollution removal targets it must hit by 2023, and then will have to do even more to meet bigger goals for 2028. If it does not, the consequences could be costly.

Meanwhile, the county received a warning letter this summer from a state inspector citing 16 other problems with its stormwater management program. County officials, as they plan their pollution curbing projects, now have to meet a 90-day deadline to correct the deficiencies cited in the inspector’s report.

Neither of these is a disaster. But taken together, they show a county either slow or still learning how to

Remembering 9/11: The day the world changed 9/11, from page 1

Chris Granger, 50, of Warrenton

Chris Granger was four years into his career as a Prince William County firefighter and medic on Sept. 11, 2001, when the Arlington County Fire Department urgently called neighbor departments for more ambulances.

The television in Fire Station 12 in Woodbridge still showed the smoking Twin Towers standing when Granger and his partner sped out and up Interstate 95. On the radio, they were told to head to Arlington Fire Station 1 on Glebe Road, a mile from the inferno at the Pentagon.

“It was wall-to-wall ambulances,” said Granger, now a battalion chief and Fauquier’s Center District supervisor. With nearly all Arlington’s trucks and ambulances already at the Pentagon, the Prince William team and the rest were dispatched to answer other, routine emergency medical calls that morning. But in the afternoon, they joined the search and recovery effort inside the still-burning Pentagon.

“They put together groups of 10 of us to systematically search the place and clear the building of people. That’s what the fire department does – clear out buildings,” he said. Each group included someone familiar with the massive structure.

Maps showed the corridor they were to search.

The air was heavy with the fumes of jet fuel.

Granger’s team went down the corridor between the C and B rings (A is the innermost) to where the shattered cockpit of the Boeing 757 had made its deepest penetration. “Everybody knew what it was,” said Granger. He got home at 1 a.m. on Sept. 12 but was sent back up early the next morning.

On Wednesday afternoon, Granger watched a crew of fire fighters and soldiers unfurl a huge American flag from the roof of the Pentagon near its gaping, smoldering wound. He was still outside when suddenly “there was a lot of commotion and, before you know it, there’s George W. Bush, right in front of me.”

The president shook the hands of rescue workers, including Granger’s, and said, “I am so grateful to the people who are working here” and at Ground Zero in New York City, which he would visit two days later. “Our country,” he said, will “not be cowed by terrorists … willing to destroy people’s lives because we embrace freedom.”

Granger captured photos on a disposable camera, but never saw them. The FBI confiscated it.

Retired Rear Admiral Jon Kreitz, 57, of Broad Run

Jon Kreitz enlisted as a sailor right out of high school in California, received a Naval ROTC scholarship to Georgia Tech and on 9/11 was a lieutenant commander and a senior officer on watch on the deck of the USS Enterprise. It was mid-afternoon in the Middle East.

A sailor came onto the bridge with word that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.

The aircraft carrier had just embarked on its way home after a six-month deployment. They turned on a television and watched events unfold.

Kreitz picked up a phone, called Capt. James “Sandy” Winnefeld and said, “Hey, Captain, I don’t think we’re going to Cape Town” – its first stop on the homeward voyage. Winnefeld, later vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stopped the carrier and, without waiting for orders from the Pentagon, turned it back around.

“It was like, ‘OK. You bombed America? Well, you’re not going to do it again.’”

REAR ADMIRAL JON KREITZ (RETIRED)

COURTESY PHOTO

The USS New York, known as the Twin Towers Ship, is an amphibious transport dock ship built with 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Center in its bow. In 2012, Rear Admiral (retired) Jon Kreitz, of Broad Run, took command of the ship.

Retired Rear Admiral Jon Kreitz, of Broad Run, recalls his time in the U.S. Navy.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ COY FERRELL

“We went into the North Arabian Sea and ended up launching the first strikes into Afghanistan against al-Qaeda and the Taliban,” said Kreitz.

On Oct. 7, 2001, at sea hundreds of miles from landlocked Afghanistan, the Enterprise’s four squadrons of F-14 and F-18 fighter jets lifted off to help lead the attack.

“There wasn’t a sailor aboard that ship worried about going home. They wanted to get whoever did it,” said the now-retired rear admiral. “There was a ton of emotion.”

Before loading the ordinance, sailors wrote messages in colored chalks on the missiles. “A lot were tributes to the first responders lost in New York and those (killed) in the Pentagon,” he recalled. “It was like, ‘OK. You bombed America?

Well, you’re not going to do it again.’”

In 2012, Kreitz became commanding officer of the USS New York, an amphibious transport dock ship built with 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Center in its bow. The ship, which can carry up to 1,200 sailors and Marines, has been called the Twin Towers ship.

On Sept. 11, 2012, Kreitz presided over a shipboard 9/11 remembrance ceremony in the Gulf of Aden, sailing between Somalia and Yemen – and that night supported a mission that targeted

al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Kreitz later was deputy director of the Pentagon agency that recovers the remains of soldiers missing from past conflicts. He retired in 2019 after serving 38 years. He made the Navy his career “because I wanted to help defend America -- and prevent things like 9/11 from happening.”

Bill Glenz, 62, of Sumerduck

Bill Glenz’s workday began as usual Sept. 11, 2001, with a predawn drive from Sumerduck to catch a 5 a.m. commuter bus in Fredericksburg that stopped at the Pentagon before dropping Glenz and other regulars downtown. He was an IT contractor at the headquarters of the Federal Aviation Administration on Independence Avenue across the street from the Air and Space Museum.

He was helping an FAA staffer who had a radio on at her desk “and we heard a news break that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. We first thought that it was a Piper Cub that some new pilot was flying around New York.” But when they heard that a second plane had struck the towers, they knew something terrible was happening.

See 9/11, page 7

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | September 1, 2021

Remembering 9/11 9/11, from page 6 Glenz’s job included supporting the FAA’s own accident investigators who, along with the National Transportation Safety Board, immediately head out to major aviation accident sites, bringing communications gear with them.

Minutes after the Pentagon was struck – from their 6th floor window they could see the smoke rising across the river -- the FAA grounded all flights across the country. “We started working with air traffic to get a crisis room set up,” he said.

“The laptops weren’t that fast and good then, so we set up (computers) in areas where people could work.”

Later Glenz evacuated the building. The scene on Independence Avenue and side streets reminded him of an earthquake movie. “Traffic was all over the place and people are honking. Everybody was trying to get out of town,” he said. Police would stop traffic to let motorcades through. “It was just very chaotic.”

The FAA is a short block from the Mall, midway between the White House and the Capitol. He and two colleagues headed down to the harbor to move farther away from the next possible target.

He tried calling home on his flip phone, but calls were not getting through. “Nobody really knew what was happening,” he said.

Eventually, late in the day, Glenz was able to find a bus back to Fredericksburg. ”I got home way after 9 o’clock. I remember hugging my wife and three kids, thankful we were all safe. Mentally, I was exhausted. But the next day we were back at work.”

Claude Davenport, the commander of American Legion Post 72 in Warrenton, spent most of his career as a law enforcement investigator, first for the U.S. Army as a military policeman followed by 27 years with the U.S. Customs Service and what became its parent after 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security.

cialized in international fraud investigations, not work at the borders or airports.

“We got information that the first plane had hit the World Trade Center. When the second plane hit, we realized it wasn’t a fluke accident. We went into high security alert,” he said. “We sat tight, kept the (Reagan) building secure and started reaching out to other offices. We tried to get in touch with New York to see if they needed any assets. Of course, communications were all shut down and cell phones weren’t working. We were able to contact some of our guys through a radio network.”

The collapse of the North Tower destroyed the adjacent U.S. Customs House at Six World Trade Center, from which all four Customs officers had already escaped.

They also contacted Customs investigators overseas. Most of the rest of the day is a blur. “We had so much going on,” said Davenport, who subsequently took part in Homeland Security searches for weapons of mass destruction and licensing violations in Iraq.

Later in his career – he formally retired in 2007 but spent the next eight years still working for DHS as a federal annuitant and contractor – he investigated computer crimes and child exploitation rings.

Nothing was the same after 9/11, he said. “It changed us from being a safe place to being a place where we have to look over our shoulders all the time. ... It changed the world. It changed everything.”

At the American Legion post, the commander said, “Our primary focus now is reaching out to all of our Afghanistan veterans and letting them know there’s someone they can talk to, someone they can vent to, if they want. We don’t want to leave them out there with no one.”

Local pediatrician: ‘I want to stop the suffering… These kids are sick.’

DR. JAKUM, from page 1

COVID-19 tele-town hall

He responded to the assertion that COVID deaths are still rare in children: “Since when did death become our measuring stick? I’ve never had to use death as the starting point, the threshold for us to act. I want to stop the suffering … These kids are sick.”

The Delta variant

Jakum said, “Absolutely for children, the source is Delta; it’s unlike the first generation of the virus.”

He explained that in the earlier manifestations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, “you didn’t see child-to- child transfers of the infection. There was vertical transmission, parent down to child, not the other way around …

The new variant is infectious from child to child. That is the key difference. In the past, kids got COVID, but it was uncommon. That has changed.”

Jakum said that when he’s talking to parents, he is honest about what he knows – and what he doesn’t.

“We know that one out of every four adults has symptoms that linger two months after they are infected.

They can have shortness of breath, mental fog, long-term damage to the heart. We recognize that adults have neurological and mental impacts for weeks and months.

“What I can’t tell you is what is the neuro-cognitive effect on a child’s developing brain. Time will reveal the answers to us: Does getting the infection cause long-term damage to a child’s brain differently than an adult, let alone emotional, mental effects too?”

Vaccines

Jakum is a strong proponent of vaccines. Many of his patients are older than 12 and therefore already eligible for a vaccine. He stressed that the mRNA technology used to develop the current vaccines has been around for three decades. “The mRNA vaccines are very targeted.

The vaccines enter the body and tell the body to do something – to create a protein that looks like the virus, so that when the body sees it again it knows what to do. The vaccine stays in the body for a very short time because it is cleared by the normal cellular processes. It’s gone from the body in just a few days.”

It’s a question Jakum hears often: “Should I get vaccinated? Should I have my kids vaccinated?” He un-

Dr. Joshua Jakum is a pediatrician with Piedmont Pediatrics in Warrenton. derstands hesitancy and tries to determine what parents’ fears are and answer their questions honestly. “These are all appropriate questions,” he said.

He understands that some people have had or have heard about negative effects. “When you get a vaccine because you wanted to be protected and have a negative effect, that can have a chilling effect on decision-making. But you have to look at the relative risk. ... You have control here. You have the ability to protect yourself from a serious illness that a portion of the population dies from.”

He said, “We say in our office: ‘No child should die from a vaccine preventable illness.’

“If I can prevent sickness or death, that’s my job. I don’t want you to suffer. We have that opportunity with the vaccine. We can protect kids. We have a remarkable amount of data. And the side effects are very limited.”

Jakum believes that a vaccine safe for 5 to 11 year olds will be approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration before the end of October. A vaccine for children 6 months to 4 years old will take many more months.

There is a reason that a vaccine for children did not come out before this, said Jakum. “As physicians, practitioners, researchers, pharmacists, we are exceptionally conservative about research involving children. It’s that dedication that shows there can be even greater confidence that if there is a vaccine approved, there is a mountain of evidence to show it’s safe.”

This is one of the slides Dr. Joshua Jakum will be discussing during a Zoom presentation on Sept. 8.

He added, “We had vaccines so quickly because so much research had already been done. We did something so tremendous. Vaccines are our modern-day moon shot.”

Jakum added, “Everybody will get COVID at some point in their lives. The question is, are you going to go to the hospital or die from it?

Particularly for the unvaccinated, the question is, not if you are going to get it, but when.

“This applies to children now as well.”

Jakum is working with the Virginia Department of Health to host a virtual town hall to address parents’ questions about COVID-19 in children and adolescents. He will present information on the disease and on vaccinations and will take questions. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 8, from 7 to 8 p.m.

(See accompanying box.)

Jakum said, “It’s a wonderful opportunity to reach a wider audience, to dispel myths, to explain where we are at now. Things are different than they were on March 13, 2020.

We have so much more information. This disease is changing in real time, so how we fight the virus, it changes too. I have the opportunity to talk to parents about how we are changing to ensure the health of their children.”

Layers of protection

Despite the controversy around mask-wearing, Jakum is not afraid to go there.

“Vaccines are the most effective way to protect children from the virus. Masks, social distancing, handwashing, ventilation and air movement – all these provide layers of protection,” he said.

He presented an analogy: “When I’m driving a car, I have layers of protection – seat belt, antilock brakes, air bags, I follow traffic rules. Statistically, when I don’t have one or more of these things, I run a greater risk of hitting the windshield, ejection from my vehicle or injury.”

And Jakum said, even with all those protections, “if I drive on the wrong side of the road, I am going to have an accident.”

What: A Virginia Department of Health-sponsored virtual town hall, to provide reliable information about COVID-19 in children and about vaccine safety. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions as well.

When: Wednesday, Sept. 8; 7 to 8 p.m.

Who: Piedmont Pediatrics pediatrician Dr. Joshua Jakum will host the town hall for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District.

How to join the webinar: Go to https://www.vaccinatepiedmont. com/townhall Next steps: A similar program may be available in Spanish soon.

He adds, “And a single-vehicle accident only hurts you. But when you get into an accident with another car, that hurts other people too.

When you choose to wear a mask, when you get a vaccine, you are protecting others.

“Wearing a mask is another layer of protection. Masks are one of the most inexpensive yet effective ways to prevent illness. And if I could give everyone eligible a vaccine, I’d be thrilled.”

Jakum understands the downsides of wearing masks, particularly for children. “I hear it when parents say that it’s hard for their children not to see the faces of their teachers and friends. I am an instructor for Virginia’s Mental Health Access program. I lecture across the state to help practitioners manage pediatric patients for depression and anxiety.

There is no doubt that COVID has caused increased depression and anxiety. There is a sense of what we have lost – school, sports, friends and family. It’s pervasive. There has been loss.

“But we don’t want the losses to include long-term cardiac or neurological health.”

Jakum sees the loss in his own children, who have lost a year of college or high school. He said, “I will work to help them overcome depression or anxiety from these losses, but I couldn’t bring them back if I lost them to COVID.” To some, Jakum said, masks are a symbol, perhaps of lost freedoms.

“The loss is real, and some people are using masks as a symbol of that loss.”

But masks can also be a symbol of our mutual concern for others, Jakum said. He said that “even when you are wearing a mask, you can still see your loved one’s eyes, hear their voices. You can’t shake hands or hug, but you can still feel the love.

“We have to ask ourselves, ‘How can I fight this virus?’ That’s the enemy. Not your neighbor. We have frayed the threads that bind us.

“But we are adaptable. If we pay with that little bit of effort now, isn’t there a chance we can get out of this sooner? Let’s address the fears and stay together, so we can make it through this.”

Olde Gold Cup residents frustrated by Warrenton stormwater fees process

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

A meeting last week to provide information to Town of Warrenton residents on their stormwater utility fees turned contentious, with homeowners demanding more clarity and a simpler process. By meeting’s end, Assistant Public Works Director Paul Bernard had acknowledged fee-calculation mistakes, pledged to get out more information, and said he would take a look at having the town give utility fee discounts to homeowners whose associations maintain stormwater retention ponds.

The meeting on Aug. 26 at the Warrenton Police Department was attended by eight residents, mainly from the Olde Gold Cup subdivision, plus Bernard and the town’s stormwater administrator Dina Hermoso. Bernard said it was the sixth such meeting he had held with homeowners associations, and he intended to meet with all associations in Warrenton.

Olde Gold Cup residents were particularly on edge, since they received six-month real estate tax bills in June that showed a fee they would be

charged in December; the fee was based on the impervious square footage on their properties.

The fee also tacked on $35.88 -- or $71.76 annually – to pay for impervious property owned by their HOA. Bernard said at the meeting that the $71.76 was an error, and that they would be assessed $2.47 annually instead. The town had mistakenly assessed town-owned streets as if they were owned by the HOA. He said errors were made with other HOAs as well. “Did we make other mistakes? Oh, of course we did. And did we make it for everyone? No, we did not. Did we do it for you? Yes, we did,” he said.

The meeting began with Bernard explaining the reason for the fees. He said the town was required by federal and state laws to maintain its storm sewers and reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff that impact the Chesapeake Bay. For this, Warrenton had budgeted $300,000 annually for administration, and varying amounts -- $600,000 this year, for instance -- for capital projects, such as ponds and swales and stream restoration. To

pay for this, the utility fees were designed to raise about $800,000 annually.

To get there, a program was designed to assess homeowners fees based on the square footage of impervious surface on their property, which included roofs, driveways, sidewalks, patios and even swimming pools. He said GIS experts working with the town’s consultant scanned each property separately to calculate its impervious surfaces. More calculations applied to the impervious square footage resulted in the stormwater fees.

Residents, however, raised numerous objections, pointing out that aerial-based GIS could not tell whether patios and driveways were permeable or impermeable. At one point, Bernard pointed to a house on an overhead blowup and said he could “guarantee” that a patio behind the house was impervious. “That’s my house,” said Betty Compton, an Olde Gold Cup resident. She insisted the area was constructed with permeable pavers.

Others asked if the town could communicate See OLDE GOLD CUP, page 11

School superintendent calls for a stop to verbal abuse directed at staff DR. JECK, from page 2 County was 200 teachers and 100 bus drivers short as of Aug. 20, according to the Prince William Times.

Jeck agreed that all nearby districts are having the same issues.

In some cases when the school division was short a teacher, Jeck said, a full-time substitute was available to handle an extra classroom.

Jeck said Tuesday that elementary schools in particular may have some larger classes as a result of the teacher shortage. “Instead of four third grades, we have three, so those

classes all have more kids,” he gave as an example.

What about required social distancing in the bigger classes? Jeck said that state’s goal is to have all schools open with all children learning in-person. “They have said that if having all the kids in school means you are prevented from social distancing in some instances, they understand that. It’s happening in every school everywhere. With schools full, it’s too crowded to social distance in every situation.”

In the high schools, he said, the school division is paying teachers

Olde Gold Cup board member Mark Nesfeder asked if the information could be included in the town’s real estate GIS map, but Bernard said it was “beyond our current capability.” Bernard was also asked if the real estate tax bills could be broken down to show the fee for the homeowner’s lot and the fee for the HOA property. He said it was not likely, but that calculations for each parcel

would be sent to HOA officials to send on to their homeowners.

He said in an email Aug. 27 that the town is working toward posting the list of all the property owners’ parcels, their impervious area, and if they are part of an HOA, their portion of the HOA’s impervious area. The plan is to post the data on a spreadsheet on the town’s website so each property owner can check it.

Bernard said homeowners who are dissatisfied with their calculated fees could appeal, a process that includes filling out paperwork and possibly

to teach an extra class. “If a math teacher teaches algebra for three blocks, we’ll pay them a portion of their salary to take a fourth block.”

Quarantining students

On Aug. 26, Helkowski announced that 565 children and 11 staff members were under quarantine. “No one was expecting to have this many students quarantine this quickly, and it caught us off guard,” Jeck said in Friday’s video address.

Jeck said Tuesday that he’d like the state health department requirements on quarantining to be more flexible. He pointed out that 95% of children who are quarantined end up with a negative COVID test. “I wish the state would be a little less restrictive,” pointing out that it is very difficult for both teachers and students when so many children are missing from the classroom.

He also reminded parents that fewer kids have to quarantine if everyone in the classroom has been wearing a mask when a case is reported, according to the state health department’s quarantine protocols.

He promised in the video that in the school division’s next newsletter, more information would be forthcoming about instruction for students who are quarantined. Jeck said, “We want to make sure that we’re giving those kids who are quarantined meaningful instruction so that they … don’t get behind. And we’re going to continue to work at

that. We’re going to make it better.

“That is one area I can promise you we will make better. So, our Department of Instruction staff has worked very hard with our principals to come up with a plan that works and is doable and will help families, especially those who have children who have been quarantined.”

He said Tuesday that teachers are offering more after-school hours to help children who are absent from the classrooms and doing asynchronistic learning through assignments and worksheets. And he is asking teachers who have kids quarantining to turn on their cameras so that children can follow along from home.

“There is no concurrent learning during the school day with those children, but kids can watch what is happening in the classroom.”

He asked parents to look for the school division’s weekly newsletter for comprehensive information on building access, free meals for students, opportunities for discounted internet service and community activities of interest to local families.

White House COVID advisor speaks at Fauquier NAACP fundraiser Dr. Cameron Webb addresses COVID’s impact at group’s Freedom Fund Celebration

Dr. Cameron Webb, a licensed physician and lawyer, has been University of Virginia’s director of Health Policy and Equity since 2017. He worked at the White House during the Obama administration, after which he ran an unsuccessful congressional campaign for Virginia’s 5th District.

In January 2021, he was named a White House Senior Policy Advisor for COVID-19 Equity by the incoming Biden administration.

By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Dr. Cameron Webb, director of Health Policy and Equity at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and White House Senior Policy Advisor for COVID-19 Equity, addressed the Fauquier NAACP last Friday during the group’s annual fundraiser. The event, held over Zoom, also featured music, trivia and presentations about the civil rights organization’s activities over the past year.

In a roughly 20-minute keynote speech, Webb addressed the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as not simply a medical issue, but an “amplification” of existing societal inequality.

COVID-19, said Webb, is not just a pandemic, but a “syndemic,” a medical term that denotes the process of multiple pandemics’ compounding effects.

Alongside the world-wide pandemic, he explained, there are chronic issues with affordable housing, food access and the education system, which combined, expose “the cracks in our society.”

“COVID doesn’t exist in a vacuum,” he said, and “systemic inequality does a lot to determine who ends up getting sick.”

“Every single person in this country deserves to be healthy,” added Webb, whose role at the White House involves addressing racial disparities exacerbated by the virus. “That’s what COVID equity means,” he explained.

Webb pointed to efforts by the Fauquier NAACP to address pandemic-induced issues such as housing and food insecurity. The group’s Nourishing Our Neighbors initiative, for example, pro-

vided food to those in need during the pandemic.

To fully deal with the pandemic, said Webb, “we don’t just address the biological aspect; we have to respond to the whole system.”

Webb also spoke frankly about the COVID threat to Fauquier County, especially with the surging delta variant.

“In Fauquier, we’ve been in the midst of a ‘code blue’ for some time,” he said, using the terminology of a hospital emergency. “I want to be clear: The delta variant is different. It spreads faster, spreads farther and hits harder.”

Webb put particular emphasis on wearing masks in schools, which he said was essential to keeping students healthy and in school. “It’s so important for them to be in that space learning,” he said, “and that means wearing masks.”

For those over the age of 12, “you need to be

vaccinated; the science is unequivocally clear,” Webb continued. “The delta variant is so unforgiving; we can’t let our guard down.”

During the event, Webb, also a former congressional candidate for Virginia’s 5th District, was awarded with the Fauquier NAACP’s 2021 Trailblazer Award.

“Personally, I thought the Freedom Fund event was a wonderful success,” said Debra Copeland, communications director at Fauquier NAACP, and “that Cameron Webb’s heartfelt talk was timely and important.”

Ninety-six people attended the event over Zoom, including Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D-V.A. 31st), Fauquier County Sheriff Robert Mosier, Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill, Warrenton Police Chief Michael Kochis, and Warrenton Town Councilman Renard Carlos (Ward 2).

State police K-9 dies of heat exhaustion after chase

COURTESY OF VIRGINIA STATE POLICE

K-9 Duke

Virginia State Police K-9 Duke, a 5-year-old German shepherd, died Monday after succumbing to complications from heat exhaustion after a police chase in Shenandoah County.

The K-9 was assigned to the region that includes Fauquier County and had worked on calls in conjunction with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

On Aug. 28, K-9 Duke and his handler, Sr. Trooper J.R. Lewis had been tracking suspects who fled the scene of an alleged hit and run traffic crash, according to the state police.

“The tracking and search efforts required of the canine team were extensive and demanding as temperatures reached into the 90s with extreme humidity,” said a Facebook post from the Virginia State Police.

“As soon as Duke began showing symptoms of heat exhaustion, Senior Trooper Lewis returned him to their patrol vehicle to help cool and hydrate Duke,” the post said. “They immediately headed to

an emergency veterinary clinic in the region where Duke underwent treatment to help him recover.”

Despite medical interventions, Duke’s condition eventually worsened. “Unfortunately, the damage to his organs was too severe. He passed away with Senior Trooper Lewis at his side Monday night, August 30, 2021.”

After the K-9’s death, “He received a hero’s escort for his final ride,” according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, “escorted by K-9 teams from nearby jurisdictions and fellow VSP K-9 teams from all over the state.”

Duke joined the state police in 2016 at 8 months old. K-9 Duke “was a beloved member of the Culpeper Division Area 12/Warrenton Office and was greatly respected for his support of and service to the Culpeper Division Tactical Team and entire Culpeper Division,” said the state police Facebook page.

Warrenton Lions Club looking for volunteers with a heart for service The Warrenton Lions Club will hold a new membership meeting at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 16, at the Warrenton Community Center. (The group usually meets at the Bistro on the Hill at Fauquier Hospital, but the hospital is not hosting groups at this time.)

Sheriff Robert Mosier will be the speaker for the evening; he will talk on the sheriff’s office’s goals for the coming year.

The Warrenton Lions Club was founded 82 years ago with the goal of service to the local community.

Lions Club member Craig Andrews

said, “It is easy to make a difference.

That’s the secret that so many Lions already understand, and I wish that more people knew. You don’t have to end all suffering for humankind – not on your own.

“But you can ease one person’s struggle. You can pick up their bag and carry it for a while.”

He said that service gets easier when each member invites a new member to join the club. “That gives us more helping hands, and more service from the heart.”

Andrews listed service projects that the Lions have completed over

A Wyoming man was arrested on the evening of Aug. 27 for allegedly assaulting a woman at a residence on Copperhead Road in Catlett. Kristopher Debuhr, 31, has been charged with domestic assault, malicious wounding, strangulation and possession of a firearm by a felon, according to Sgt. Steven Lewis of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

He is being held without bail at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center.

Close to midnight on Aug. 27, Fauquier deputies responded to a domestic violence call on Copperhead Road, according to a criminal complaint filed with the arrest. Deputies arrived at the address to find Debuhr standing at the door of a camper van “holding a handgun to his head.”

As deputies were attempting to “give commands for Debuhr to put the firearm down,” said Lewis, a “female victim was able to gain control of the firearm and toss it away from him.” Debuhr “became aggressive” as deputies tried to make an arrest, said the FCSO spokesman, but was eventually taken into custody where he refused to speak with authorities.

When a deputy interviewed the

victim, according to the criminal complaint, she said that they had been arguing when “Debuhr threw her on the ground and held her down by the throat, causing her to not Kristopher Debuhr breathe while he repeatedly punched her in the face.”

The woman was later transported to Fauquier Hospital to be treated for her injuries, said Lewis. An emergency protection order has been issued for her and her children.

At the time of his arrest, Debuhr had been in Fauquier County for three months, having moved from Wyoming. He also had a previous criminal record outside of Virginia, including at least one felony, which made it illegal for him to own or possess a firearm, according to court documents..

Debuhr was arraigned on his charges in Fauquier Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court on Aug. 30.

Tucker Ellis places 8th at the International Soap Box Derby Race day wasn’t the best day to ride a wet course for the first time, but Tucker Ellis, with help from his father, Stephen Ellis, made the necessary adjustments to his stock car to compensate for the rain.

Tucker, a 5th grader at C.M. Bradley Elementary School, started his third Soap Box Derby racing season in May, just as school was ending.

The stock car, sponsored by Piedmont Pediatrics, was built by Dr. Joshua Jakum for his own daughter, who outgrew it and passed it on to Tucker. “I bought the kit and built it on our kitchen table,” Jakum said.

He said he is happy to see it live on under the Piedmont Pediatrics name, adding that folks associated with the soapbox derby are extremely kind and dedicated to helping kids have the best experience.

Tucker had to complete four gravity (no power) local races to win, which he did on June 12. “I was pretty happy that I got a win to start the day. I just kept moving and getting more wins,” he said.

To win the local race, each driver raced twice. For the second race, the drivers swapped wheels and switched lanes on the quarter-mile course in Culpeper. “I was headed down the hill and when I passed the finish line, I didn’t hear anything. Then they said I was the local champion going to Akron [Ohio] and my jaw dropped.” said Tucker.

At the end of July, nearly 300 drivers competed in seven divisions at the international competition in Akron.

What does Tucker like about the derby? “Everything” – including the speed and the wind in his face. “It’s satisfying,” said Tucker.

Tucker’s mother, Sarah Ellis, added that the Akron event was “so much more than racing. The kids are all kind and uplifting. There are traditions where the kids all make buttons and hand them out, and they all sign posters for each other. There is a strong sense of sportsmanship, both at the local competition and at the international one.”

The morning of the race, Tucker and his parents arrived at the track by 7 a.m.

“It was pouring down rain,” said Sarah Ellis. “It rained the entire morning.”

The racers needed to watch the track from the top of the course to figure out the best way to run. “When

Rules for Soap Box Derby:

• The car with driver must weigh 200 pounds (for Tucker’s division).

• There is no power.

• The car has steering and brakes.

• Cars are released rather than shoved.

• A wheel swap is held between races to ensure one driver does not have an advantage over another.

Tucker with his trophy at the top of the course in Akron the track was dry, it was faster on one side; with the rain, the other side became faster,” she said of just one of the factors drivers had to consider. Cars can get up to 35 mph before crossing the finish line.

At local races, cars are impounded prior to the race to allow time for race coordinators to make sure each car has been built to All American Soap Box Derby specifications. The morning of the race, children check-in and adjust their cars to account for weight fluctuations, common at check-in; cars and drivers must have a combined weight of exactly 200 pounds.

After check-in, there is a parade of drivers and photo opportunities. The pit boss then announces each heat.

Two drivers line up in the pit and are trailered to the top of the hill for the start. During the A Phase, they race against each other, and the time differential is noted. Racers return to the top of the hill for the B Phase. During this phase, racers swap wheels and lanes.

Another time differential is noted, and the winner proceeds to the next race.

The Paul Bates Raceway in Culpeper, where the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby race, has 950 feet of track from the start line to the finish line.

There is an additional 300 foot run out for braking.

Each race takes fewer than 30 seconds.

At the international competition in Akron, there are three racers in each race instead of two.

The Soap Box Derby packages a lot of education into an entertaining activity. Boys and girls race together and learn aerodynamics and engineering. Problem solving includes math to adapt the car to driver weight

fluctuations. Tension in the bolts can slow the car down if they are too tight. Steering -- which also slows the car -- needs to be used sparingly. The car needs to be dismantled for inspection and reassembled. “The kids learn how one change to the car affects the entire car,” said Sarah Ellis.

Tucker finished 8th out of 56 in his class. The win retires Tucker’s car, but he plans to build another car for next year’s derby season, which begins in May. Tucker left Akron with a big trophy and an even bigger smile.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

An open letter to anti-mask parents I am sorry the [Fauquier County] School Board’s decision to require masks in schools upset you, but that doesn’t give you the right to harass those tasked with implementing the decision. Masking on buses is a federal mandate -- failure to comply could mean a $25,000 fine for the county. The bus drivers didn’t make this decision, and bullying them won’t change the rule, though it may lead to an even greater shortage of bus drivers. If you don’t want your child to wear a mask on the bus, you have the option to drive them to school.

Also, our school secretaries have no control over county policy, nor does our building administration.

When you call to cuss them out or threaten that “things will get ugly,” you succeed in creating a toxic work environment for them, but you aren’t affecting policy.

I know you are angry, but you are in the minority. Only 15% of Fauquier County students had opted out of the mask mandate prior to the Aug. 22 decision [by the school board]. This means 85% of parents either support, or are willing to go along with, the mask mandate.

Why should a small but loud minority control what happens in our schools? Why should masked children with vaccinated parents have to miss two weeks of school because their unmasked classmate just tested positive for COVID? Your refusal to mask your child puts everyone at risk and greatly increases the chance that your child, and everyone around them, will once again have a disrupted school year.

Fauquier County currently rates as “high risk” for COVID. The school system has reported 113 cases among students, and a handful more in the staff. We have 565 students in quarantine. The school board’s mask mandate is designed to prevent worse, and I applaud them for it.

If we adhere to medical recommendations to mask and get vaccinated, we will eventually get through this pandemic, but without a community perspective that recognizes that we’re all in this together, I fear any semblance of normalcy is a very long way away.

HAPPENING in Warrenton

Ninety vendors are set to sell their wares during this year’s Spring into Fall Festival.

Spring into Fall Festival set for Sept. 18

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

After being canceled in the spring of 2020 and postponed in the spring of 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions, the 42nd annual Warrenton Spring Festival (now renamed the Spring into Fall Festival) will be held on Main Street in Warrenton on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine.

The familiar family-friendly event will feature 90 vendors selling jewelry, handmade toys, fine art, pottery and other handcrafted items.

Service businesses will set up booths and several non-profit organizations will be present to introduce their services to the community.

Two food trucks – Sobos South of the Border and Kona Ice – will be parked at one end of the festival, near the Warrenton General District Courthouse. Other fair food will be available at the other end, at Fifth Street.

The festival is being sponsored and organized by the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce. Chris Coutts, provost of the Fauquier campus of Lord Fairfax Community College and vice president of communications and planning for LFCC, is also a former chairman of the board of the chamber. He took the lead on the festival this year.

Coutts said that the popular event required some tweaks this year because of the continued presence of the Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In previous years, there have been as many as 150 vendors at the

Warrenton Spring Festival. Offering spots to fewer than 100 for the Sept.

18 event allowed the organizers to spread the vendors out. “There is more space between vendors. We are not able to ask visitors to wear masks, but we would certainly encourage people to maintain physical distance whenever possible,” said Coutts.

Another complication with the layout of vendors has been the parklets on Main Street that allow for outside seating at many of the local restaurants – a boon to the town during COVID restrictions. The parklets take up space on the street, so accommodations have been made.

Instead of having a double row of vendors all down Main Street, said Coutts, there will be a single row in some places.

“We have had to adapt,” said Coutts. “It’s been a strange year.”

In another nod to COVID-19 mitigations, no entertainment is planned for the area around the courthouse.

“We thought it would be better not to have any scheduled entertainment where people would be standing around in large groups,” said Coutts.

He added though, that musicians busking on Main Street would add to the festival atmosphere.

Adding to the bustle of the day: The Warrenton Farmers Market will be operating until noon. There are several parking lots circling Main

Fair food will be on the menu Sept. 18 in Warrenton.

Street and on-street parking on adjacent streets; once the Farmers Market winds down, the parking lot behind Warrenton Town Hall will be open as well, said Coutts.

There will be plenty of portable restrooms, he said, and visitors may also use the facilities at Warrenton Town Hall and at the Presbyterian Church located at the corner of Main Street and Fifth Street.

Alec Burnett, newly appointed executive director of the chamber, said “The Spring into Fall Festival committee must be recognized for the unwavering commitment and hard work it takes to plan and coordinate such an important and anticipated event.

“Coordinating vendors, soliciting

more than 40 volunteers and planning for thousands of visitors while at the same time complying with additional contingencies surrounding COVID- 19 protocols to ensure the safety of all is certainly no easy task.

“I am proud to work alongside such a dedicated group of volunteers who remain committed to creating prosperous opportunities – for not only our businesses but the community as a whole.

“Special thanks as well to the town staff for all of their help and assistance in making sure that our businesses, residents and visitors can once again spend a day enjoying all that Fauquier County has to offer.”

Business is humming in Warrenton. A slew of new businesses is set to open in the coming weeks – Ulta in the former Sears store and a bowling alley in the former Gordman’s department store. Paws Paradise, a doggy day care, is coming to the Warrenton Plaza shopping center on Broadview Avenue.

Here’s a quick look at three new restaurants that have opened their doors in the last few months.

Goodfellas Pizza

This new-to-town independent pizza place opened two months ago at 251 West Lee Highway, next to Panera Bread. The shop offers Italian-style, Chicago-style and Indian-style pizza (with Tandoori or Masala seasonings). Specialty pizzas include a Greek-style pizza and a shrimp scampi pizza.

The menu includes appetizers -- calamari, hummus or bacon cheese fries, for example – wings, pasta dishes and salads. Burgers, calzone or Stromboli and subs are also prepared at the shop.

Dessert offerings include baklava, tiramisu cake and cannoli.

Goodfellas offers delivery or takeout options, and a few tables are available for those that want to dine in.

The shop can be reached at 540935-2266. Customers can order online at https://goodfellasdulles.com/.

In addition to Mexican favorites, specialties of the house include chimichangas, spicy flautas and a spicy chile Colorado -- chunks of pork cooked in a freshly spiced sauce.

Lunch specials are served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday. El Jaripeo even offers an express lunch menu for those who are short on time. Entrees from the grill are available, and Nolasco recommends the restaurant’s vegetarian options as well. Desserts

2021 FALL FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW

COUGARS ARE DEFENDING CHAMPS, FALCONS LOADED WITH RETURNING TALENT Smaller 4-team Northwestern District also features dangerous Liberty and Meridian

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

With only four teams in the Northwestern District, the road to this fall’s 2021 region field hockey playoffs is a short one.

Ony four league teams sponsor the sport this fall after Culpeper departed to join the Battlefield District.

Meridian High School, formerly George Mason, is the fourth school joining defending champion Kettle Run, Fauquier and Liberty.

Two of the four will end up with regional playoff berths.

The regular-season champion earns an automatic regional slot, with the other going to the tournament champion or to the playoff runner-up if the same school claims both trophies.

Each school has only six district games, meaning each league outing will be a significant challenge. The smaller district has caused schools to shop around for non-district opponents, however.

Kettle Run seeks to defend title

The Kettle Run Cougars are seeking to repeat as district champions after downing Liberty in overtime in last season’s title game.

Kettle Run’s task will not be easy after losing 10 seniors from the gold medal squad, placing an onus on the eight varsity returnees. Second-year coach Julie Kuhlberg realizes the challenge, causing her to reevaluate the current personnel.

“Losing 10 seniors last season has caused us to rethink positioning of returners,” coach said. “We are working on players being able to sub

into key locations outside their normal playing positions.

“These ladies are here to work.

They are putting in the time to make themselves better at their sport,” Kulhberg added.

Kettle Run has eight veterans and nine newcomers on the squad. Kulhberg said all have played previously in the program, meaning they understand the sport and positioning. The coaches can focus on fine tuning elements to See FIELD HOCKEY, page 27

Fauquier sophomore Cassidy Scott placed fourth out of 177 runners Saturday in the girls varsity division of the Great Meadow Invitational.

Scott finished the 5,000-meter course in 19 minutes, 20 seconds. Battlefield’s Sailor Eastman was the easy winner in 18:01.

Fauqiuier’s Kiki Wine also had a strong morning, finishing 14th in 20:36. The duo helped Fauquier to record an eighth-place finish among the 20 scoring teams with 166 points, Battlefield captured the girls title with 99 points, followed by Tuscarora (105) and Yorktown (144). Kettle Run was 19th wth 432 points.

On the boys side, Loudoun Valley (147), Colgan (154) and South Lakes (162) paced the 30 scoring teams. Fauquier was 23rd (543) and Kettle Run 26th (652).

End zone pass falls incomplete as Cougars drop thrilling opener, 28-25

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

It had the feeling of a playoff game.

Perhaps a rematch will happen.

Kettle Run dropped its season-opener to visiting Heritage 2825 in a high-octane matchup last Friday that went down to the final few plays.

New quarterback Beau Lang was extremely active in his debut in a Cougar jersey, accounting for all four Kettle Run touchdowns.

The Brentsville transfer completed 13 of 24 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown pass to Jacob Robinson, and was a weapon rushing with 167 yards on 25 carries and three TDs. “It was a tough and hardnosed football game,” said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield. “I thought that both teams were well prepared, and came out with a ton of fire. Heritage took some chances in pivotal situations and it worked out in their favor.”

Offensively, Kettle Run amassed 442 yards, running for 265 and passing for 177.

Robinson caught five passes for 56 yards, Abram Chumley had three for 49 yards and Mehaffey had two for 41 yards.

“We certainly had an opportunity to win it at the end, but we

The Cougars host Meridian Friday. had far too many mistakes down the stretch,” said Porterfield, citing penalties and fumbles.

Down 28-25, the Cougars had a chance for an exciting win, but an end zone pass for Jordan Tapscott fell incomplete.

“Peyton Mehaffey and Sam Rodgers both had great games on defense,” said Porterfield, whose team hosts Meridian (formerly George Mason) this Friday at 7 p.m.

“I think we will all take this game as a wakeup call. The team as a whole is focused on moving forward after the loss, and learning from our mistakes. We have a tough challenge this week in a very well-coached and disciplined Meridian team. We are blessed to have another opportunity to play the game we love,” Porterfield said.

“Good morning and welcome to the second half, 12 hours later.”

The reassuring, upbeat voice of Liberty public address announcer Pat Frazer greeted fans Saturday morning at the resumption of the Liberty-Brentsville football game in Bealeton.

After the world’s longest halftime, the Eagles dropped their season opener 39-13 to the Tigers.

The game began on a steamy Friday night, but was postponed after the first half when an official had a medical issue due to overheating.

Brentsville led 21-6 at halftime.

A revamped Liberty team displayed excellent effort, but had troubles stopping the Tigers and sophomore quarterback Caleb Alexander, who ran for two touchdowns and threw two.

FAUQUIER: Friday vs. Brentsville, 7 p.m. (HOMECOMING)

Fauquier’s football game at Independence was postponed by the Falcons last week, making Friday’s Homecoming game vs. Brentsville (1-0) the opener.

Fauquier had contact tracing issues, as well as problems with practicing due to heat and thunderstorms.

Fauquier must find opponents for itself and Independence by Week 8 or the Falcons will forfeit the game.

“We’re a young team. We’re making mistakes now that we can learn from and grow from, so we’re prepared for district time,” said Liberty coach Travis Buzzo.

“We saw a lot of players,” he said, referring to all his newcomers.

Brentsville’s win was just its second in school history against Liberty. The Tigers beat Liberty 28-20 in 2016, with Liberty prevailing in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Thanks to the postponement, the Eagles’ No. 1 quarterback, Landon Triplett, who had been quarantining, returned for Saturday’s second half.

Hockey race looks wide open FIELD HOCKEY, from page 25 bring the team forward as the season progresses.

The young Cougars faced an extremely difficult task last week in their season opener versus Riverside, the reigning Class 5 state runner-up. The Rams, who feature four Division I players, tallied an 8-0 mercy rule decision Aug. 23.

Kettle Run had only two days before its next context, but Kuhlberg said the improvement was evident after just one day of practice.

The Cougars responded with a 1-0 win over Class 6 Osbourn Park on a goal from Kiersten Johannesen on a Grace Cunnungham assist.

“The team really showed they are coming together at the OP game,” Kulhberg said of the team’s first win.

“The communication is there, and we are fine tuning field positions.”

As for her top goal, Kulhberg did not point to one specific item. She instead focused on the process that will lead to wins.

“To work together to reach our full potential as a team and stay positive in game situations no matter what,” Kukhberg said.

The squad opens its district slate Sept. 7 at Fauquier.

Lots of Falcons return

Fauquier has the largest crew of varsity veterans this fall, with a dozen returning to the fold. The veteran crew is seeking to rebound from a disappointing 2-7 campaign last spring.

One of the biggest issues last season was the lack of a consistent offensive mindset. The players often retreated into a defensive posture and eschewed attacking opportunities.

Fauquier coach Brooke Settle sees a difference with this current crew.

“They are more offensively [minded]. This lineup has a better perception of the way you do touches [near the goal],” Settle said.

The Falcons exploded for a 6-0 mercy rule win over Class 6 Forest Park in their second game, receiving two goals each from Zofeya Maldonado and Jackie Timberlake and single scores by Marjorie Davenport and Emory Lillard.

“It was good to get good shots off and score some goals,” Settle said.

The Falcons dropped their other contests against a pair of Class 5 Stafford schools. Massaponnax took a 1-0 game in both teams’ opener. Fauquier also dropped a 3-0 contest last Thursday at Riverbend in Fauquier’s first game on artificial turf this season.

But Settle isn’t bothered by those losses to bigger programs.

“You’ve got to completely change your style of play for that type of surface,” Settle said of the Riverbend loss. Her Falcons had to acclimate after spending all of its time on grass, adding the score was 1-0 until late into the final quarter. She also called Riverbend a quality team.

The Falcons face a difficult non-district slate with six of its 10 non-league games versus Class 5 and 6 schools.

Settle said her girls will need to step up the level of play against those schools, a positive aspect of a

tough schedule.

“That’s exactly what I told them,” she began. “Sometimes, it is better to play difficult teams because that makes you play harder. If you only play pushovers, then you don’t know what you have.”

The Falcon coach called communication, field awareness and positioning of teammates as strong points as well as the chemistry.

“We have a lot of players who play well together,” Settle said. “Play has been more connected than we have had in a while.”

She added the Falcons also have a quality goalkeeper to anchor the defensive end in junior Erin Irvin, the coaches’ association first-team choice last season.

A league title is an attainable goal for the group, Settle said, pointing to the experience, work ethic and cohesion.

“I’d like to see them take back the district championship,” she concluded.

Liberty has new coaching staff

New faces are plentiful on the Liberty field hockey sideline.

Not only did eight Eagles graduate from last season, there is a new coaching staff as well. The senior class accounted for 42 wins in four seasons and left behind a slew of school and county records on the watch of coach Katie Norman.

Norman resigned her coaching position following last season to spend more time with her two young children.

Replacing her on the sideline are co-coaches Erin Murton and Mikayla Diak, who will have the responsibility of fashioning a contender out of the large 22-girl roster. Eleven Eagles are back, but much of the team’s offensive firepower graduated.

Still, Diak and Burton like what they have seen thus far from the veterans and new players.

“The returnees are handling the challenge of filling the gaps from the previous season,” Burton said.

“They have stepped up, assuming their place as leaders and role models for the newcomers.”

“I think they are all finally finding confidence in themselves that they can do this without the large group of seniors that graduated last year,” Diak added, noting the vets continually take time to explain skills and ideas to the new players.

The weather has been burdensome by shortening or sometimes cancelling practices, yet the mood has remained upbeat.

“The girls have continued to remain positive and excited to play,” Diak observed, wth Burton adding, “The girls want to be here. They are willing to put in the work to get the results they are striving for.”

The Eagles will be searching for their first victory this week after dropping a 3-2 decision to Eastern View Aug. 24 in their lone game.

Liberty’s unassisted goals came from Emma Costanzo and Summer Butler.

Liberty was unable to field a junior varsity team for the second consecutive year, leading to the exceptionally large varsity unit.

Want to own a racehorse? Here’s your chance.

Shenandoah Fair, Shenandoah Downs highlight harness racing starting Sept. 1

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Horse racing fans are getting a special opportunity at the Sept. 1 to 4 Shenandoah County Fair, a chance to “own a racehorse” for the day.

Spectators at the fair’s harness racing meet can enter for a free drawing to become the official owner of a horse racing during the Shenandoah Downs pari-mutuel meet. Eight winners will be drawn from entries, each of which will be given special trackside treatment as the owners of the horses in a $4,000 race on Sept. 18.

Winners get to come to the paddock with their horse, meet the trainer and driver, have lunch trackside and, best of all, the winning owner keeps the purse their horse wins in the race. All temporary horse owners will receive a cash payout.

Other own-a-horse promotions are planned Sept. 25 and Oct. 9, with entries due Sept. 18 and Oct. 2, respectively.

The program is sponsored by the Virginia Harness Horse Association.

Another special contest is to win a Shenandoah Downs VIP experience, with a catered dinner; a $20 betting voucher; a ride in the starter’s car; a race named in their honor complete with a winner’s circle presentation and photos; plus, they can compete in a double-seater sulky race during the racing day.

Both the fair and Shenandoah Downs meet take place at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. Racing is Fridays at 3:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 1 p.m. Admission and parking are free.

Complete details are at shenandoahdowns.com.

That’s your view if you win the drawing for a ‘harness VIP experience’ during the Sept. 1 to 4 Shenandoah County Fair. Part of the prize is a ride in the starter’s car, a literal close-up view of eight horses trotting or pacing faster than 30 miles per hour.

122nd Warrenton Horse Show starts Thursday Historic one-ring competition runs through Sunday’s ‘hunt night’

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Classes at the Warrenton Horse Show starts Thursday morning, with competition running through Sunday night. The Sept. 2 to 5 show is a 122-year-old Labor Day tradition held annually since 1899.

Admission is free during the

week; there is a $10 fee for spectators on Saturday and Sunday. Proceeds benefit the Fauquier Health Foundation, Fauquier SPCA, Warrenton Volunteer Fire Department, Fauquier Free Clinic and the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation.

The show has been designated a U.S. Equestrian Federation “heri-

tage competition” for its long history and importance.

Co-presidents Helen Wiley and Hilary Scheer Gerhardt have been hard at work since 2019 planning this week’s event: Last year’s show was canceled due to COVID. “We’re glad to be back,” Wiley said.

To create excitement and interest in the unique show, the committee created a new “trainers’ raffle,” a $500 prize

for the trainer with the most entries.

Another 2021 innovation is a switch from the traditional silent auction – conducted in a ringside tent, to a fully online format. Online bidding links are available on the show website and Facebook page.

FOOTBALL, from page 26

Liberty at Central (Woodstock)

The Liberty Eagles were in action in Saturday’s Central (Woodstock) Cross Country Invitational.

Kayla Lopez earned Liberty’s top placement of the day with her 14th-place effort in the field of 96 runners. She completed the threemile course at 20:20. Joining her were Alaina Narek (42nd, 22:47) and Natalie Taylor (71st, 25:32).

The individual winner was Skyline’s Ava Bordner (18:35).

Warren County (50 points), James Wood (52) and Spotswood (97) were the top teams out of 12 schools. Liberty did not have the minimum five runners needed for a team score.

Owen Rogers and Cole Hoffman were 22nd and 23rd, respectively, as the leading Liberty boys in a race of 102 runners. Rogers finished in 17:46, two seconds ahead of Hoffman. James Lacey was third for Liberty (27th, 18:03), followed by teammates Aiden Neidich (35th, 19:32) and Lincoln Taylor (76th, 20:45).

James Wood’s Nathaniel Woshner was the boys gold medalist at 15:19. The Colonels also captured team honors with 35 points, running ahead of Spotswood (49) and Handley (59). Liberty placed seventh with 192 points.

Triplett needed a negative COVID test, which he didn’t have by Friday.

Because of a QB shortage, Landon’s brother Joey Triplett, a junior receiver/defensive back, started Friday and performed admirably, completing 3-of-6 for 79 yards and a TD. The Tigers took their opening two drives 47 and 61 yards, respectively, .

Bryce Jackson scored on a 3-yard run to make it 7-0 less than two minutes into the game, with Alexander scoring on a 1-yard run to make it 14-0.

Liberty threatened on its third possession as Chase Oliver made a superb contested catch against the Tigers’ defense for 36 yards, but holding nullified the play.

Brentsville made it 21-0 on its next possession as Alexander dropped a short pass to William Johnson, who raced 22 yards for a TD with 7:14 left in the second quarter.

Liberty’s first TD of the 2021 season soon followed as Owens turned a short dump pass from Joey Triplett into a 61yard gain to the Tigers’ 13. Two plays later Oliver made a nice fingertip catch on a right side fade route near the back of the end zone for a 23-yard TD. The extra point was blocked to make it 21-6 with 6:12 left in the half.

The Eagles stopped Brentsville’s next two possessions before halftime.

Cooler night air moved in as the Eagles marching band performed its halftime routine, but the second half never commenced. An emergency vehicle came on to take the ailing

official away, with the postponement announced another 15 minutes later at 8:35 p.m.

Buzzo said the officiating crew, normally five, was already shorthanded with four, so the loss of one put the crew at three. “The VHSL does not want the crew to be less than four,” he said.

The game resumed a little early at 8:56 a.m. Saturday with Landon Triplett quarterbacking the Eagles’ first possession.

It went three-and-out, but the older Triplett left a favorable impression, standing in the pocket and delivering some good throws. “Landon, he’s our guy.The team feels good when he’s in there. He made a lot of the right reads. As we grow, his play will get better,” Buzzo said.

Landon finished 3-of-9 for 27 yards.

Liberty had issues in most phases of the game, as new players are being thrust into starting roles. Standouts included senior Austin Jacobs, who was an anchor at linebacker and had a few strong runs, as well as senior Cody Owens, who emerged as the Eagles’ leading ball carrier. He carried 17 times for 70 yards and a 56-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and also had a 61-yard reception off a short dump pass.

Brentsville made it 27-6 on Alexander’ 6-yard TD run with 6:45 left in the third.

Owens ripped off his 56-yard TD on first down on the ensuing possession to make it 27-13 after Luis Martinez-Rulas’ extra point.

OBITUARIES Jutta Maria Winter Miller Jutta Maria Winter Miller, 87, of Casanova, VA. passed away on 20 August 2021 at Blue Ridge Christian Home in Bealeton, Virginia.

She was born on 25 April 1934 in a small village in Germany. She moved to Poland with her parents in 1941. In 1944, at the age of ten, she fled on foot as a refugee with her mother and younger brother, just ahead of the Russian Armies. She remembered being strafed on the road by Allied aircraft, hiding in a barn loft as Russian Cossacks rode in the barn below, and witnessing ground and air combat. After several months on the road, which included a case of Scarlet Fever, she finally resettled with her family in West Germany. At the age of 20, she left home and went to London, England as part of the Guest Worker program, where employed as a hospital orderly, domestic, and cook, she learned English. She then moved, still alone, in 1957 to Beverly Hills, California, where employed as a Governess, she enjoyed a full measure of “Hollywood” social life. In 1962, after spending a year traveling in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Egypt, Greece and Aden, she met her future husband, an Army Officer, who was stationed in Germany.

She was married in 1962, became an American citizen in 1983, and overcame advanced breast cancer in 1986. During that time, she lived in Ulm and Crailsheim, Germany, Ft Knox, KY, Pittsburgh, PA, West Point, NY and Casanova, VA. Horses were her passion. She bought her first horse in 1969, and rode her last horse in 2014 at the age of 80. In between she owned 14 horses in succession, trained in Dressage in Germany, fox hunted in New York, Conn, and VA, rode competitive trail rides, bred, foaled and started several horses, and ran a horse barn with boarders.

She is survived by her Husband of 59 years, John D. Miller, U.S. Army LTC ®, GM-15 ®, daughters Donna St. Pierre and Tanja Heather, and three grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the Ladies of the Blue Ridge Christian Home for their remarkable Care and Compassion.

ECO-FRIENDLY CASKET OPTIONS Environmentally mindful people love the idea of having an earth-friendly burial and the eco-friendly casket options that come with it. These days, such options are broadly available. The materials used in eco-caskets must be 100 percent biodegradable, including the interior materials and the fasteners that hold the casket together. The wood should contain no chemicals, stains, preservatives, or toxins that can leak into the ground. There are many caskets to choose from, including recycled pulp; bamboo; cardboard; woven fiber; and soft, non-treated wood caskets.

Biodegradable options are also less expensive, which can be an attractive feature for budgetconscious consumers. If you wish to be buried in an eco-casket, let your family know and write it in your will.

When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral -all of which must be made quickly and often under great emotional duress. We value our reputation for providing the highest quality of professional services with the personal attention and understanding needed to help you and your family through a difficult time.

MOSER FUNERAL HOME accommodates all families, treating each one as if they were our own. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.
