Election ‘feels more important’ By Robin Earl and Coy Ferrell Times Staff Writers
Alexis Poland, 72, teared up as she slid her ballot into the scanner at the Warrenton Presbyterian Church polling location. “I always cry when I vote. I’m not sure why. I feel that if I never do anything right all year, at least I voted,” she said. By noon on Tuesday, about 300 people had voted at the courthouse precinct. The flow was steady, agreed precinct co-chiefs Jeff Michel and Ken Gray. “Everyone has been cordial and cooperative,” Michael said, adding, “99.5% have worn masks and are social distancing.” He said he thought “early voting probably cut our activity down 50%.” At Grace Episcopal Church, the polling place for The Plains Precinct, almost 600 people had cast a ballot by noon. At least during the late morning, there was never a line. “It was simply like it always is,” said voter Amy Adams, of The Plains, about the voting process. “I was expecting lines.” Kenny Payne, of Marshall, who voted for each Republican candidate on the ballot, said he was glad the election was finally reaching its culmination. “I’m relieved this day has come and I just See ELECTION, page 6

CC Collins leaves no doubt as to who she is voting for as she stands by the GOP tent in front of the voting location at the Warrenton Presbyterian Church on Main Street.
Fifth Congressional District Republican candidate Bob Good was leading his opponent Democrat Dr. Cameron Webb 59% to 41% with all in-person votes counted and thousands of absentee ballots still unreported in several of the district’s counties as of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. In Fauquier County, Good won 75% of votes cast on Election Day to Webb’s 25%. However, results from the county’s absentee ballots had not yet been reported as of 10:30 p.m. Absentee ballots accounted for nearly two-thirds of votes cast in Fauquier County. The 5th Congressional District stretches from the North Carolina border to Fauquier County. Absentee votes have still not been reported in Albemarle, Bedford, Campbell, Fauquier, Fluvanna, Franklin and Prince Edward counties as of 10:30 p.m. The final results will not be known until all ballots are counted. Localities will report as much of the absentee votes as they are able on Tuesday at 11 p.m., but will have until Friday See 5TH DISTRICT, page 9
Three towers set to be added to broadband network By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
Three towers will be added to the county-subsidized wireless broadband network “in the next few weeks,” according to Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District). Last year, the county government entered into an agreement with Data Stream Broadband, which currently broadcasts a fixed-wireless signal to its Fauquier County customers from 15 locations. The new broadcast points will be
the Turnbull water tower, located along Springs Road west of Warrenton, and two temporary towers, which will be placed near Orlean and Somerville until permanent towers can be erected on the same sites. The equipment used by Data Stream has a maximum broadcast radius of approximately five miles, depending on the surrounding terrain. “Transmission equipment inventory has been a challenge to procure recently, due to worldwide demand resulting from COVID,” Gerhardt
said. “however, we have been told by Data Stream that inventory is now available.” It could take up to two years to arrange the leases, permits and commitments from cellular carriers necessary for building the permanent towers near Orlean and Somerville, said Calvert Crossland owner Barb Pivoc on Tuesday. Calvert Crossland is the company building the towers. The temporary towers will remain in place until the permanent towers are erected, Gerhardt said.
In Turnbull, Gerhardt said, “Over the next few weeks the tower will be modified to accept transmission equipment that will operate on the Data Stream network.” So far, the county has committed $4.1 million to Data Stream as part of an incentive program to expand access to broadband to county residents, according to Deputy County Administrator Erin Kozanecki.

Nine Highland students test positive for novel coronavirus Nine Highland School students, all of whom attend the Upper School (high school) in Warrenton, have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, a school representative confirmed Monday. As a result of the positive tests, the 223 students attending the Upper School will receive remote instruction through Nov. 13; the Upper School had been conducting classes in person, five days per week. "Highland’s preparation for the 2020-21 academic year included the ability to quickly switch between in person and distance learning," said Donna Tomlinson, the school's spokesperson. The cases were supposed to be classified as an "outbreak" on the Virginia Health Department's website Nov. 3, according to Population Health Coordinator April Achter, an epidemiologist with the health district. "The outbreak was initially reported to us by a private provider and the school, as many of the

Town of Warrenton sets community meeting on Waterloo Street configuration By Robin Earl
Timeline for gathering community input
Times Staff Writer
In an attempt to gather input from residents about traffic calming efforts on Waterloo Street in Warrenton, the town staff will hold a community meeting from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 7, at the open parcel at the corner of Waterloo and Chestnut streets to discuss options. Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer said, “The basis for this recommendation is for every problem we fix, we seem to be creating a new problem, so we need to work with the residents to get further buy-in, knowing no solution works for all.” The town of Warrenton made some adjustments to the roadway in April in an effort to encourage drivers on Waterloo Street to slow down and to improve safety for residents. Street parking was moved and, in some cases, eliminated; bump outs were placed at the intersection with Chestnut Street, and perhaps most noticeably, the center lines were redrawn to create a deliberate curve in the road. The plan was explained as a relatively low-cost attempt at traffic calming, but neighbors have contacted town council members and staff to express their frustration about new problems that have arisen since the changes were put in place. Schaeffer explained, “Since the repaving and restriping this summer, the reviews have been mixed. Successes are found in the bump out at Chestnut and Waterloo, as well as the high visibility crosswalks. Staff has heard from a resident located between north side of Smith and Chestnut street that they prefer the new alignment that locates the parking on the south side due to increased site lines. However, staff has also heard from multiple residents on the remaining north side of the corridor that they have issues with the parking being (re)moved. This is often due
Warrenton’s planning staff presented the town council with a timeline to move forward in order to find consensus on Waterloo Street traffic calming. • A Waterloo Street community meeting Saturday, Nov. 7, from 10 a.m. to noon at the open parcel at the corner of Waterloo and Chestnut streets. This would include staff from the town’s community development, public works and police departments. Participants would work together to develop a common understanding of the constraints and potential solutions, which would include examining whether they would like to return the striping to its original configuration where the majority of the complaints are located. Rain date will be Sunday, Nov. 8. Those interested may RSVP to Denise Harris at dharris@warrentonva.gov or 540-347-1101 by Thursday, Nov. 5, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Staff will notify participants via email if the rain date will be used. • Sometime after the community meeting, speed counters will be put out. These counters will be left in place throughout the process to collect data about any change in speeds as new solutions are piloted. • A working day would be scheduled, built off resident feedback from the first meeting. The road would be closed from Fairfax to Chestnut streets, with a detour on Gaines Street, to allow participants to brainstorm out new roadway configurations. Participants will use temporary signage, chalk, trees and cones to consider solutions. Staff will seek volunteers and donated resources, but up to $5,000 to $7,000 could be needed to cover associated costs. Demonstration ideas will be left in place for one week, with each element being removed one at a time. • Schedule a follow up community conversation after Thanksgiving to hear input on what elements the community felt were most appropriate, what did not work, and what might have not yet been considered. • Report findings to town council to take into consideration, with the above cost estimates.
to historical stone fencing, vegetation, or poles, in combination with the crest of the hill, making site lines from driveways difficult. There is one resident on the south side at the crest of the hill that is also not happy with the removal of parking. Delivery vehicles also struggle on where to park. The consensus is that speeding has not been mitigated enough and, for some, their driveways are more dangerous to access.” Warrenton Town Council member Kevin Carter (Ward 5), whose ward includes Waterloo Street, said, “The bump out at Waterloo and Chestnut streets has been a success. Children come down Chestnut Street and need to cross Waterloo to get to school. The bump outs on either side of Waterloo have improved line of sight
problems, for drivers and pedestrians.” But, he said, “the big issue has been unintended consequences. A lot of parking was taken away and that’s a very real concern.” He has been encouraged by the way residents have expressed their dissatisfaction. “The residents affected have been very reasonable and understanding. It’s really been a community effort,” he said. Steve Gordon, a resident who is attempting to help gather his neighbors’ thoughts on what should be done about Waterloo Street, said, “I got in touch with some of our neighbors after talking with Denise [Harris, planning manager with the See WATERLOO, page 5

Results are unofficial
All results listed here are unofficial and listed as of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Results are also incomplete; some Virginia localities may not have reported absentee results by press time and absentee ballots that had not been processed by Tuesday night will be reported Friday after 12 p.m. Additionally, valid absentee ballots submitted by mail and received by the Friday deadline will be included in the final absentee ballot reports for each Virginia locality.
Good leads Webb by 18% with thousands of absentee votes still unreported 5TH DISTRICT, from page 1 at 12 p.m. to count any ballots that arrive at an elections office that is postmarked by election day. At Tonsler Park voting precinct in Charlottesville, Webb said that he and his campaign had seen “high energy” at the polls throughout election day. “I think folks are really excited about having a chance to vote in this election, across the ticket,” Webb said. “It’s been a good day to see our democracy in action.” The Good campaign did not respond to a request for comment. Good carried Appomattox, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Greene, Halifax, Henry, Lunenberg, Madison, Mecklenburg, Pittsylvania and Rappahannock counties with 100% of the votes counted in those localities. Webb carried Brunswick, Nelson and Prince Edward counties and the cities of Charlottesville and Danville with 100% of the votes counted in those localities. President Donald Trump won the 5th Congressional District by 11 points in 2016. The district’s current representative Rep. Denver Riggleman (R) won by six points in 2018 over Democratic candidate Leslie Cockburn. A Democrat hasn’t held the seat since former Rep. Tom Perriello won the seat in 2008, before the district was redrawn to include part of Fauquier County. Good, 55, is a former Liberty University athletics official and former Campbell County supervisor. Webb, 37, is a practicing physician and public health expert who works at UVA’s School of Medicine.
Absentee ballots reported separately
Local precinct results reflect only ballots cast in person on Election Day. All absentee ballots are reported in a single “precinct” separate from ballots cast at polling places on Election Day. More than half of registered voters in Fauquier County – along with Virginia as a whole -- had cast an absentee ballot before Election Day, meaning the number of votes reported as part of the absentee precinct exceed the combined total of all other precincts.

Redeemed Church of Jesus Christ, 9552 James Madison Highway, Warrenton, invites the community to visit their food pantry, open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. This institution is an equal opportunity provider. Visit www.redeemedchurchva.org for more information or call 540-935-2956.

Incorrect ballots at Kettle Run precinct cause 30 ballots to be rejected by scanner By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL
Voters stand in line Nov. 3 to scan their completed ballots into the tabulating machine at Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains.
Election Day: No lines, ‘cordial’ voters ELECTION, from page 1 hope it works out for me. I think the country could go in the wrong direction if it doesn’t.” This was the first time voting for Violet Cruz, 18, of Middleburg. She was there with her mother, Violetta Cruz. “I’m actually really happy I’m able to vote,” the younger Cruz said. “I’ve been following politics for a long time … and I think there is a lot at stake, especially for people like me – young people.” Carter Bond, of The Plains, was the only person there who spoke to the Fauquier Times who said they had voted for candidates from both parties. Bond voted for Trump and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Daniel Gade but decided to vote for Democrat Cameron Webb in the 5th Congressional District race. “I thought the advertisements against Webb were very divisive,” he explained. “I don’t think that’s conducive for justice.” A few miles down Interstate 66, more than 600 people had voted at the Leeds Precinct polling place in the Emmanuel Episcopal Church parish hall by a little after noon. William Rodenberg, of Delaplane, didn’t say who he voted for. But, he said, “This feels different than past elections. It just feels more important.” Regardless of the outcome, he said, he is confident the country will be OK. “I am an optimist in the sense that, whatever happens, I have faith in the institutions of our government.” Christy O’Bannon, of Marshall, was accompanied to the polls by her two daughters. “I can’t wait for this day to be over – to figure it out,” she said of the election. She voted for each Republican candidate. She’s worried about a lot of things, especially the health implications of the pandemic itself and, on the other hand, the effects of restrictions put in place because of the pandemic. “The uncertainty is what really is making me uncomfortable with life,” she said. Joanne Smoot, Morrisville precinct caption for Republicans and
magisterial district leader for the Lee District, was at Mary Walter Elementary School from 5 a.m. to about 9:45 a.m., when she said she would be heading over to Remington. She said that 263 people had voted by 9:40 a.m. and when polls opened at 6 that morning, there was a line already. There are about 1,300 registered voters in the Morrisville precinct and she was hoping every one of them would cast a vote. Tia Digges, who was at the GOP booth outside the elementary school, said that she hadn’t worked the polls since Charlie Fox was running for reelection as sheriff. [Charlie Ray Fox Jr. was sheriff from 2004 to 2015.] Smoot said, “Within 10 minutes of Tia showing up, we had three voters who had never voted before.” Angie Kallio was voting Republican Tuesday morning. She said she voted on Election Day because “I don’t trust the process. I’ve been seeing in the media about ballots being dumped ...” Kallio said that she thinks Trump has done a good job for the country. “I don’t feel that the Democrats can get the job done.” Tiffany Schwartz, though, cast her vote for Joe Biden. “I want things to be back to normal. I’m tired of Trump’s craziness.” Toni Stinson, of Catlett, was working as a Republican poll watcher on Tuesday at the Kettle Run Precinct. She said she hoped that she could help voters feel confident about the voting process. “We want make sure there is no voter intimidation either way. There have been a lot of concerns, a lot of pressure around this election. I want to help provide a comfortable environment as people do their civic duty.”
Early voting
More than half of Fauquier County’s registered voters cast absentee ballots for the 2020 general election. As of the end of Oct. 31, 27,937 county residents – representing 51% of all registered voters -- had cast an absentee ballot, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. The majority – 71% -- of those absentee ballots were cast in person; the remainder represent ballots sent to a
Early Tuesday morning, the first 30 people who tried to cast ballots at the Kettle Run High School polling place had their ballots rejected by the scanner. “Initially we thought this was a voting machine issue,” said Fauquier County Registrar Alex Ables later this morning. “Unfortunately, the incorrect ballots were sent to this precinct in error.” In this case, the precinct had been sent ballots for the 1st Congressional District, even though the Kettle Run Precinct is part of the 5th District. The scanning machine at each polling place is programmed to reject incorrect ballots. “The voting machine in that precinct cannot count these ballots,” Ables said. “Fortunately, the new electronic poll books were able to provide the names of all those issued the incorrect ballot. We and others are attempting to make contact with each of these voters so that they can return to the precinct and cast a correct ballot that can be counted by the voting machine.” Deputies from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office assisted in contacting the affected voters. By 2:20 p.m., 27 of those voters had been successfully contacted by phone, according to Lt. Stephen
Brubaker. “I’m about to go knock on one of the doors of the of [the remaining three voters] myself,” Brubaker said, adding that deputies were actively trying to reach out to the other two voters. Toni Stinson, of Catlett, was one of the voters unable to cast a ballot Tuesday morning. She arrived at the polling place a little after 6 a.m. The voter ahead of her was unable to successfully scan his ballot, she said, so elections officials “had everyone freeze in place.” Because elections officials thought it was a problem with the scanning machine, voters were told to put their ballots in the emergency slot -- reserved for instances when the scanner is not functioning -- of the scanning machine. “They said everyone will have to put their ballot in the emergency slot and they will get counted tonight.” Stinson did put her completed – incorrect -- ballot in the emergency slot. About 30 to 45 minutes later, she returned to the polling place because she had signed up to volunteer for one of the political parties. One of the elections officials recognized her and told her what had happened, and Stinson was able to cast a correct ballot. “I don’t think it was anything nefarious or anything,” Stinson said. But, she added, “It should have been looked at closer.”

Of county residents who requested an absentee ballot be mailed to them, about 1,400 had not returned a completed ballot to the registrar’s office as of Monday morning. If returned by mail, these ballots had to be received by the registrar’s office or clearly postmarked by 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, to be counted. (Ballots returned by mail and postmarked by Nov. 3 must be received by the registrar's office no later than noon Friday to be counted.) About 50 people stood in line at the Bealeton Depot at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, the last day to vote early. Most folks preferred to keep their
preferences to themselves, but a few weighed in on the ability to vote in person before Election Day. One gentleman said he works in Reston and was grateful that he didn’t have to complicate his workday Tuesday in order to be able to vote. A couple said they were voting early because she was scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. Also present on Saturday was John Bailey, first-time elections officer. He was handing out pamphlets explaining the two referendums Virginians are voting on this year. He said he was enjoying the experience, talking to people. “Everything is going well,” he said.

Chief judge refuses request to appoint full-time circuit court judge for Fauquier County By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
In August, members of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors formally requested that a circuit court judge be appointed to hear cases in Fauquier County full-time, with the same judge being assigned a much smaller case load in Rappahannock County. Last week, Chief Judge Douglas Fleming of the 20th Judicial Circuit denied that request. Virginia has 31 judicial circuits; these courts hear serious criminal and civil cases, some family matters (such as divorce) and appeals from general district courts and juvenile
and domestic relations courts. For more than 40 years a judge was assigned to Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. But with the retirement of Judge Jeffery Parker last year and the election of Fleming as the circuit’s chief judge this year, that has changed. The five judges assigned to the 20th Judicial Circuit – which includes Fauquier, Rappahannock and Loudoun counties -- now rotate among the three counties. Fleming implemented the change in how judges are assigned earlier this year after his office conducted a “comprehensive due diligence review” of the circuit’s scheduling
practices and needs. In addition to revising how hearings are scheduled – like creating dedicated dates for motions in criminal cases – the study found that rotating judges was more efficient than assigning them to a specific county’s court, the letter said. Members of the board of supervisors disagreed. “[T]he current allocation of judges,” the resolution passed unanimously Aug. 13 by supervisors said, “… result[ed] in a substantial increase in the number of modifications to dockets, forcing the cancellation and rescheduling of proceedings, including a delay in ability of defendants to enter pleas
and to victims, litigants, witnesses and attorneys who were ready, willing and prepared to proceed with the hearings but were delayed by the lack of a judge.” Supervisors say they hope to arrange a meeting with Fleming to explain their position. “The circuit saw fit to have Judge Jeffery Parker here until his retirement,” Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District) said Thursday, “so I’m curious as to why we don’t have a full-time sitting judge for Fauquier now. ... Maybe a sit-down with the chief judge would answer these questions.”

Veterans Day ceremony canceled
Due to on-going COVID concerns, the Fauquier Veterans Council has decided to cancel the normal public Veterans Day ceremony, George Morgan, Veterans Day planning lead for American Legion Post 72 said. “As we did for this year’s Memorial Day ceremony, there will be a very abbreviated ceremony involving just the local Post Commanders and a small contingent of public officials,” Morgan said in an email. The ceremony will start at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 11 at the Veterans Memorial on Hospital Hill (across from the Fauquier Hospital). “Though the public may attend, we ask that they please ‘observe’ from a safe distance and remain outside the immediate area around the memorial site and ceremony,” Morgan said. For more information, please email George Morgan (American Legion Post 72) at gmorganiii@comcast.net. Veterans will be selling poppies this Friday, Saturday and Sunday outside Safeway and Walmart, said Jeff Dombroff of the VFW Post 9835. Poppy Day is an annual tradition and raises money to benefit veterans.

Three towers set to be added to broadband network BROADBAND, from page 1 eration, in addition to reimbursements for the rent the company pays for the space on towers and $10,000 per month to fund staff members to support the Fauquier County project. (The $10,000 monthly payments will cease at the end of the year under the terms of the current agreement between the county and Data Stream.) Data Stream currently reports 366 customers in Fauquier County, Kozanecki said. Under the terms of the agreement with Data Stream, Fauquier County residents pay a lower monthly fee for the service; this reduced rate will continue to be available for the next few years, Kozanecki said. The discount will end when Data Stream reimburses the county for the $235,000 in incentives paid to the company for each new broadcast point in the county. Less than $20,000 had been paid back as of Sept. 30. The total budget for the county’s broadband initiative – including, potentially, programs not operated by Data Stream -- is $5.8 million, including $1.21 million received through PATH Foundation grants and $1.65 million allocated from disbursements from the Coronavirus Relief Fund, created by Congress in March as part of the CARES Act.

We were all struggling to learn, keep up with ever-changing recommendations, and ready to do whatever necessary to protect our loved ones and ourselves. It is now October, and your small but mighty public health team is tired. The work has been hard, but the greater challenge has been dealing with the politicization of the pandemic, along with the animosity and distrust leveled against public health. SARS-CoV-2 is a virus, a respi-

ratory pathogen that will neither be solved nor worsened by the outcome of Tuesday’s election. COVID-19 is surging across the country. The United States daily case average over the past week was over 71,000, the most in any seven-day stretch of the pandemic. There are more than 46,600 COVID-19 patients currently hospitalized. Unlike earlier months, these patients are being cared for in more sparsely populated areas of the country, where medical infrastructure is less robust. Most models predict that the next few weeks and months will be the worst. Models, however, cannot account for human behavior. We still have the opportunity to make a difference in our community. We know that you are tired, too. And wondering how long this will last or how it can be fixed. We struggle to find balance. How do we maintain essential services, keep our restaurants and businesses open, and continue to protect our residents? We start by remembering that safety is not the absence of risk. Safety means finding an acceptable balance between risk and benefit. The way we return to all the things we are missing is to keep our case counts low. You can help by: Wearing your mask. Period. This has become a political statement, and it does not need to be.
Public health recommendations change as we learn, and the current evidence shows that masks have a protective effect to reduce the spread of illness. Watching your distance. We ask that you maintain 6 feet of distance between persons whenever feasible. When you cannot, wear your mask. Washing your hands. The single, most effective way to control the spread of any communicable disease is good, frequent handwashing. Hand sanitizer that’s at least 60% alcohol works too, as long as hands are not visibly soiled. We can take the steps above to reduce the spread and burden on our community. We have to.

THE NEWS YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR With governor’s goahead, winter sports will debut in December By Fred Hodge and Peter Brewington Times Staff Writers
Supporters of local high school sports can breathe a sigh of relief. Next month’s winter sports season was cleared for liftoff last Thursday when Virginia Governor Ralph G. Northam signed the fourth amendment to Executive Order 67, removing the 10 feet of social distancing required in Phase 3 guidelines for recreational activities. With that stipulation removed, contact sports now are permitted. Basketball and sideline cheerleading will start Dec. 7, with wrestling, indoor track and swimming commencing Dec. 14. Other sports previously banned by Phase 3 restrictions included football, field hockey, volleyball, soccer and lacrosse, and are now set to resume as well. Fall sports practices will start Feb. 4 for football and competition cheerleading and Feb. 15 for the remaining sports. The first football game date is Feb. 22. All spring sports begin practice on April 12 and will be finished by June 26. High school sports competitions in Virginia have been shut down since March 13 due to

After about nine months of no public high school sports in Virginia, basketball and wrestling will return in late December. Rules modifications are being discussed now. COVID-19. Teams are currently permitted to hold offseason workouts. “Keeping our student athletes safe is critical during this pandemic,” Northam said in a press release. “I know I join many parents in looking forward to the safe return of school sports. (The Virginia High School League) has been a tremendous partner throughout the COVID crisis, and I appreciate the thoughtfulness and diligence they have put in development of these guidelines for returning to play.” VHSL executive director Billy Haun acknowledged the importance of the news. “This amendment by the Governor clears the
HEADED TO BIG SKY COUNTRY Highland’s Salih to play basketball at University of Idaho By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Quick quiz: What university’s sports teams are uniquely nicknamed the Vandals? Hint: The school plays in the city of Moscow. Still stumped? It’s the University of Idaho, where Highland School boys basketball player Yusef Salih has accepted an NCAA Division I athletic scholarship offer. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound senior plans to sign during the early signing period that runs from Nov. 11-18. “They were the first school to take a chance on me. I’m big on loyalty, and they were the first ones to believe in me,” said Salih, who announced his decision on Twitter in late September. “Yusef is laser-focused on basketball and has wanted to be a Division I player for a long time. He’s goal-driven, and I’m proud of him and excited for him,” said Hawks coach Brian Hooker. Salih, who grew up in Gainesville, transferred from Patriot High after his junior year, and emerged as a standout. Reclassified as a junior, he averaged 14.5 points last year and helped the Hawks go 23-3 and make the VISAA Division II semifinals. Salih, who worked out diligently
with a trainer during the pandemic, is described as an all-around guard with an excellent jump shot, court vision, passing ability and driving skills. He was a first team all-Delaney Athletic Conference selection. “He’s a strong guard so he doesn’t get bumped off the ball,” said Hooker. “He maintains his composure and balance and finds a way to get into the paint and into playmaking spots. He’s an all-around player and good defender. He’s a kid that makes winning plays.” It seems a little unusual that Salih would attend a Big Sky Conference school located 2,500 miles away, but Idaho liked his tape and developed a relationship during the pandemic, a time when colleges had tough decisions to make when they could not see players in person. Due to COVID-19, the NCAA suspended in-person recruiting and wiped out the usual summer tournaments. Virtual visits, Zoom meetings, FaceTime calls and video evaluation replaced in-person evaluation and campus visits. Salih and Idaho coaches chatted regularly for about a month before the school offered him a spot, Hooker said. “The coaches have been talking to me since late July, and they were genuine,” said Salih. “Be-
way for all of our sports to play,” Haun said. “We appreciate the time, effort and input staff received while preparing this document.” The VHSL also released a 39-page paper outlining general guidelines and extensive sport-specific regulations to mitigate possible COVID-19 transmission among athletes,coaches, officials, administrators and spectators. The VHSL staff received input from VHSL and NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committees (SMAC), the NCAA, the Virginia Department of Health, USA Football, USA Field Hockey, US Lacrosse, USA Wrestling, the National Wrestling Coaches Association, VHSL school administrators and VHSL coaches advisory committees while preparing the extensive protocols. While the VHSL’s plans may proceed, it’s hardly business as usual. The VHSL’s Executive Committee previously voted to limit teams to 60 percent of the normal number of contests due to the compressed time frame following the postponement of fall sports. Now, the schools will have to deal with strict guidelines that will be small issues for some sports while causing major impacts on others. “There are going to be a lot of things that are very, very different. Lots of changes coaches are going to have to make...to play the game under these regulations,” Fauquier High activities director Mark Ott said. “There are a lot of these we have to discuss in a short amount of time to make this work,” he addSee WINTER SPORTS, page 13

Salih said he’s never been to Idaho but said a family friend went to the school. With a population of 23,800, Moscow is located in the chimney-shaped northern part of Idaho tucked against the border with eastern Washington, not too far from Top 25 powerhouse Gonzaga University.

WINTER SPORTS, from page 12 ed. Needless to say, the news has activities directors scrambling to get organized since there has never been a sports calendar like this. “We are definitely preparing schedules and discussing strategies for safe implementation of athletic events,” said Unity Reed AD Kevin Turner. To Kettle Run AD Paul Frye, the inconveniences involved in restarting are worth the effort. “It’s going to be a burden,” he said. “But it’s necessary for the kids to play, so we are going to do it. Hopefully in the next six weeks we will be able to pull it off.” Boys lacrosse, for example, is facing major modifications in play, including a ban on all body contact/checks. Only stick checks will be permitted. Faceoffs will be eliminated for the season, and a coin toss will determine which team is awarded the ball at midfield to begin the game. After each goal, the team scored upon will be awarded the ball at midfield with no player within five yards. Scheduling also will be affected. Schools may not compete in events involving five or more schools or competitions hosted by anyone but a member school. No team can face out-of-state teams. Fauquier wrestling, and more recently Liberty, have wrestled in the prestigious Beast of the East event. That tournament has been canceled, and many basketball, cross country, track and field, swimming and com-
What about fans?
It’s unclear how many fans will attend games this winter. Currently, the state mandates that the number of attendees permitted at a sporting event cannot exceed 250 for indoor events. That number also could be smaller based on a 50 percent of the maximum occupancy load for the venue. For sports played outdoors, attendees are limited to 250 people per field, including participants. petition cheerleading invitationals are off the table. Ott, a former head coach, emphasized that coaches are being asked to do a lot more now. “How hard is it going to be for a coach?” he asked. “Obviously, they want to focus on the game plan and the fundamentals. Now, they have to worry about all this other stuff behind the scenes. “You also have to think about this: our coaches don’t get paid enough to do all that,” Ott said, stressing Fauquier County continues to fall further behind in the area of compensation. “If our coaching stipends were on par with other counties around us, you might be able to justify it. It’s hard for a coach to do all the extra. “There are so many questions that can’t be answered (now), and I completely understand that,” Ott said. “None of us have ever been through this before, so every policy we create, every mitigation plan, is brand new. “It’s not as if we have something to copy.”

Johnnie Lu Zarecor Johnnie Lu Zarecor, 77, died October 8, in Gainesville. The cause was cancer. She was born in Waco, Texas on October 20, 1942. Her father, John Raborn, operated a unique Texas business, the Raborn Potato Chip Company, “Big Johnnie, & Little Joe.” Her mother, Katie, was an advertising executive. Following graduation from McCallum High School in Austin, she attended Texas Tech University where she was a member of the Angel Flight. As part of her journalism studies she worked as an intern at the BIG SPRING (TX) DAILY HERALD. She graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. She served on the editorial staff of TEXAS CO-OP POWER, a large circulation monthly magazine provided to the customers of electric cooperatives. She married William Zarecor, a computer executive, and the couple lived and worked in Austria, The Netherlands and Great Britain, before returning to the United States where he had positions in Alabama and New York. They fell in love with the Virginia countryside and built a house outside of Marshall. They later moved to Warrenton on Foxville Road. Following his death, Mrs. Zarecor moved to a cottage on Mockingbird Lane in Warrenton where she lived for 20 years. She worked in real estate and farm management before forming a company, Escrow LLC, where she worked for many years handling domestic and foreign transactions. She was active in Democratic politics and a strong supporter of the Biden-Harris ticket. She served as a poll worker and on several campaigns including the recent congressional race of Leslie Cockburn. Following her years in England, she became a serious Anglophile and tuned into many PBS shows including Midsommer Murders that she watched during the last week of her life. A lover of good food she enjoyed tucking into a plate of oysters on the half shell at Blue Ridge Seafood, the rack of lamb at La Chaumiere and the tasting menu at the Inn at Little Washington. She loved a glass of white wine, her favorite being Gavi di Gavi from Italy. Jamie Anderson, her dear friend of almost 60 years, described her as, “a very lovely, warm hearted, generous and hard-working woman. She was in Austin for a high school reunion and I mentioned I had tickets for a small concert featuring Jerry Jeff Walker. I had not realized she was a huge fan. We were in the front row. A big thrill for her.” She is survived by her daughter, Shannon Province Rogers, two grandsons, Friend Ovid Rogers and Henry Alexander Rogers, her former husband Perry Province, Riley, her Jack Russell terrier, a son, John Zarecor, and daughter Debbie Leggett, from Mr. Zarecor’s previous marriage, a sister, Donna Cummings, and a special niece, Kelly Milberger. The family thanks the Rev. Weston Mathews of Grace Episcopal Church in the The Plains for his help and support. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
FUNERAL TRADITIONS AROUND THE WORLD Most Americans have some awareness of the traditions involved in a New Orleans Jazz funeral, with its somber dirges and slow, shuffling parade followed by upbeat, celebratory tunes accompanied by dancing and laughter. There are many other lesser known but equally unique traditions around the world. The people of the Philippines have many different death traditions, including dressing the deceased in their best clothing and seating them in a chair for visitation, sometimes holding a drink or cigarette, or burying them in hollowed out tree trunks often chosen by the deceased before their death. In Ghana, people choose personalized coffins designed to represent something they loved in life such as a classic car or a musical instrument. Funeral practices are influenced by religious and cultural traditions, costs, and personal preferences. These factors help determine whether the funeral will be elaborate or simple, public or private, religious or secular. For more information about our funeral services, please call us today.

She spent over 25 years being a dedicated teacher in the special education field and married the love of her life, Chuck Tippett, in 1985. Their 35-year marriage was known for never having a dull moment. She loved dancing with her husband and the excitement of their many ‘Tippett Adventures’, as she called them. Some of Vicki’s happiest moments in life were enjoying sunsets on the back deck of her family’s Coles Point river home, sharing her love of the outdoors with her grandchildren, and of course taking care of her chickens. Though her passing was too soon, she was heard many times over the last few months saying she was living her best life. Vicki is survived by so many who loved her; including her husband Chuck Tippett, her sister Cheryl Butler; her brother Al Ross and his wife Susie; her son Charles Tippett, her daughter Victoria Tippett, her son Albert Tippett and his wife Jessica Tippett; and her seven grandchildren Ryder, Maverick, Teegan, Camden, Allie, Dennis and the next baby Tippett due in January. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Vicki’s passion and life’s work at Transitions. https://www.fauquiereie.org/ Arrangements by Moser Funeral Home 233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, VA 20186, 540-347-3431, online condolences can be made at: moserfuneralhome.com
Joseph Nicholson Groomes, Jr. Joseph Nicholson Groomes, Jr. passed away at his home in Silver Spring, Maryland on Tuesday, October 20, 2020. He was predeceased in death by his beloved wife of 41 years, Shirley Ann Edwards Groomes. A child of the depression, Joe was born May 18, 1931 in Baltimore, Maryland to Harriet Buchanan Cavey Groomes and Joseph Nicholson Groomes. As a very young boy, his family made Washington, DC their home. He attended St. Gabriel’s Catholic Elementary School and graduated from Calvin Coolidge High School. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the US Army, where he served a tour of duty on the Japanese island of Okinawa. He was honorably discharged from the US Army in 1953. Upon his return to the states, he married Shirley, his high school sweetheart. In 1962, they moved their family to Warrenton, Virginia where, together, Joe and Shirley became anchors in the local business community with the establishment of Furniture Interiors. And it was here, in the small-town community of Warrenton, that they built their family’s life blessed and enriched by the remarkable friends who surrounded them and the deep Catholic faith that guided them. Joe began his post-military-service career in law enforcement, serving as a uniformed officer in the US Secret Service at the White House under President Eisenhower and then as an officer of the Metropolitan Police Department. The next chapter of his career – as the HVAC foreman in the Office of the Architect of the Capital -- was a reflection of advice his parents had bestowed on him at a young age; to train in a trade. He completed his long career where it began – in law enforcement -- as a Deputy with the Fauquier County Sherriff’s Department. He is survived by his three children: Joseph Nicholson Groomes, III; Karen Harriet Groomes Morgan (John); and Patrick Edwards Groomes (Leslie). He leaves behind for his five grandsons -- Robert, Evan, Ian, Aidan and Christopher – a legacy of fierce independence and optimism; tremendous kindness, compassion, and a belief in the goodness of humanity; and an unparalleled patriotism for this great country he so deeply loved. A mass in his honor will be held at Our Lady of Grace Roman Catholic Church, 15661 Norbeck Boulevard, Silver Spring, on Saturday, November 7th at 11:00 a.m. Burial will be at Brightview Cemetery in Warrenton, Virginia on Friday, November 27th. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made in Joe’s name to either of the two organizations whose missions he supported: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105 Tel: 1-800-805-5856 Web: http://www.stjude.org/ or National Law Enforcement Memorial & Museum Web: https:// lawenforcementmuseum.org Arrangements by Cole Funeral Services. www.colefuneral.com
