As Fauquier competes with other counties and the private sector for employees, recruiters struggle to fill vacancies They call it the Great Resignation. Up and down the Main Streets of America, “help wanted” signs dot storefront windows, and restaurants close early because they don’t have enough staff. Workers are hard to find.

Government is suffering, too. Though the vacancies may not be so obvious, the effects on public service can be serious. The Fauquier Times, in an occasional series, is talking a look at how Fauquier is coping with the new rash of vacancies. There is bad news, not-so-bad news, and some surprises.

Retired Air Force Col. Richard Koehnke recalls Vietnam War exploits

Special to the Fauquier Times

The year was 1967. Rick Koehnke was executing his ninth Air Force mission to take down the Paul Doumer bridge in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, which would off a major route for communist troops and supplies.

He remembered, “We were sent into the ring around Hanoi. There were 16 aircraft; I was third. After attacking the AAA [antiaircraft guns] sites at the end of the bridge, I was flying at 550 knots, 1,000 feet off the ground with antiaircraft missiles shooting at us. And all I kept thinking was, ‘Their aim is off.’

Distribution of COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old underway, including in Fauquier

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

Doctor’s offices, pharmacies and community vaccination centers across Virginia will receive 377,000 doses of the newly approved COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old in the next few days, the state health department announced Wednesday, Nov.3.

After reviewing clinical trials, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the use of a reduced-dose Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old on Oct. 29, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on the vaccine Tuesday, Nov. 2.

The doses for younger children are one-third the volume of an adult dose.

As with adults, however, the full vaccine regimen is two shots spaced at least 21 days apart.

Locally, Piedmont Pediatrics, Warrenton Pediatrics and Piedmont Family Practice have already received or are expecting the child doses.

“We realize that there will be some quick adopters and some who will wait and see, but we want to have the doses available to families when they are ready and feel comfortable,” said Dr. Joshua Jakum of Piedmont Pediatrics Wednesday. His practice received 300 doses N0v. 2, and patients may schedule an appointment through the practice website: piedmontpediatrics. com.

Piedmont Family Practice is expecting 100 doses, Dr. Steven von Elten said Wednesday, Nov. 3.

The state is also rolling out its registration system through its vaccinate. virginia.gov website.

During a conference call with media Nov. 3, the Virginia Department of Health’s vaccine coordinator Dr. Danny Avula emphasized that he is confident that there will be more than enough doses to meet demand, pointing out that the 377,000 doses being distributed this week are enough to vaccinate half of the children in the newly eligible age group.

“We will continue to receive more vaccine each week moving forward.

Really, we have no concerns about vaccine availability,” said Avula, explaining that the Virginia Department of Health is distributing vaccines based on the initial demand for vaccines for children 12 to 15.

The adult-dose Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was authorized for the 12-to-15 age group in May. More than 73% of Virginia’s currently eligible population has been vaccinated against COVID-19, including 65% of children 12 to 17.

For the doses for younger children, there is an emphasis on distributing doses to pediatric and family medical practices, Avula said. About 35% of the initial doses will be distributed to pharmacies, 7% to Virginia’s nine community vaccination centers and the rest to doctor’s offices. “We’re trying to reassure [parents] through the experts that they trust,” he said.

“Different providers are building their registration pathways,” he said, “so I really do think that the supply is going to more than meet the demand for 5 to 11s.”

Avula emphasized that, like previous authorizations of COVID-19 vaccines, the new vaccine use went through a rigorous safety review. And while younger children are much less likely to get severely ill from a COVID-19 infection, there have been nearly 1,000 cases in children that led to hospitalizations. Additionally, 16 children in Virginia have died from COVID-19 complications since the beginning of the pandemic.

“There is still a clear benefit to keeping our kids safe,” said Avula. “We look to both the FDA and the CDC to do a really clear review of the trial data, and it really clearly pointed to a benefit.”

He also pointed to the fact that vaccinated children will be less likely to contract and spread the disease to immunocompromised members of their family and community who may not gain the same protection from vaccination as someone with a more robust immune system. “To help [children] understand that they’re getting vaccinated to help other people is really important,” said Avula.

He also emphasized that, unless they are symptomatic, fully vaccinated children will no longer have to stay home from school if they’ve been exposed to a person with COVID-19, therefore reducing the amount of time lost in the classroom. “There’s absolutely the sense that we want to get our kids vaccinated, not only to protect them, but to make this whole school thing easier.”

Like older children, younger children receiving the small-dose vaccine in clinical trials generally experienced mild side effects at most, and there were no reports of myocarditis or pericarditis in the clinical trials for 5-to-11-yearolds, Avula said — inflammation in and around the heart has been reported in extremely rare cases in older adolescents. “We’ll have to continue to follow the data for 5-to-11-year-olds, and we will do that,” he emphasized.

Clarification

In the election return data reported in the Nov. 3 issue of the Fauquier Times, the Broad Run Precinct data was not available from the state election board as of press time. The Broad Run results were reported soon after polls closed, according to assistant registrar Diana Dutton, but a momentary “glitch” occurred when sending the information to the state. Registrar Alex Ables noticed the problem and resent the data to the state soon after.

As Fauquier competes with other counties and the private sector for employees, recruiters struggle to fill vacancies RESIGNATION, from page 1 They leave for all sorts of reasons, but better jobs, retirement and relocations lead the list. The tight job market offers new opportunities.

Baby boomers who approach retirement decide they like staying home.

People discover they can move away and telework. They are changing professions. “This is the time where they’ve had enough time to rethink their employment. And they are trying other things,” Downes said.

The Times surveyed six county departments and the schools division and found more surprises: • Some departments, such as Social Services, were hit with a double whammy. While the stresses of the pandemic increased domestic and economic strife – and therefore their workload -- some key employees departed, making their jobs ever harder.

• In the school district, some cited the stress of work as a reason for leaving. But their departures only create more stress, as colleagues have to take up their workloads -- potentially leading to more departures.

• One small agency, the John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District, which runs programs to clean up local streams, lost half of its workforce in 2020-21. It stopped monitoring stream quality for months and gave up a grant designed to improve water quality.

• Some departments cited supply-chain slowdowns or disruptions as an even bigger problem than vacancies.

• The vacancies hit departments differently. Some have felt serious pain. But others have managed to cope well or have been affected hardly at all.

Fauquier County Public Schools

In the county’s schools, less than 4% of the division’s 1,916 jobs are vacant, but the vacancies fall in critical areas: bus drivers, custodians, nutrition workers and teachers. In September, as the school year got underway, superintendent David Jeck said the district was short 20 bus drivers. Because of this, some drivers were making double runs, and students in the second run were arriving late to school. Teachers had to stay at school later because some children had to wait at school for the second run to bring them home.

The school board on Oct. 12 raised driver salaries from $16.98 to $20 an hour, hiked bus aides to $15 an hour and agreed to pay bus drivers an additional $10 per day attendance bonus to fight absenteeism. The move was necessary, the board members said, to make Fauquier more competitive with other Northern Virginia districts, which are also short of bus drivers. It was estimated the raises would cost the school district $600,000 a year. A discussion on raising custodians’ pay is underway.

Human resources data shows 42 teacher vacancies, 18 in elementary schools. Some of the slots were filled with substitutes, Jeck said, but

Brad Bladen runs a D6 bulldozer at the Fauquier County landfill. The county’s Department of Environmental Services has nine openings among a full-time staff of 108. others have caused other teachers to take on larger classrooms. “Instead of four third grades, we have three, so those classes all have more kids,” he said as an example. In the high schools, he said, the district is paying teachers to teach an extra class.

Meanwhile, as the school year started, a team of custodians had to quarantine due to positive COVID-19 tests. (They are back now.) In another effect of the pandemic, school menu choices have been reduced due to supply chain shortages, said schools Public Information Officer Tara Helkowski.

Social Services

Like the county’s schools, the Department of Social Services’ 62 employees work directly with the public. When crises develop, like child or elder abuse, social services has to respond. More than two dozen of its employees are “direct contact workers” who deal face-to-face with the public, said social services director Shel Douglas.

During the pandemic, not only did they lose employees, but their workload spiked upward. More people needed public assistance, and there was a dramatic increase in calls for adult protective services. As they tried to fill their vacancies, they had to scramble to serve the public.

While the department has only one active vacancy now, until recently it had four more. At one point, two of its vacancies were the two key intake people for benefits applicants, so a program manager and other employees filled in. That worked for their clients, Douglas said, but it put an added workload on the remaining employees.

“So, that’s the real challenge, making sure you don’t burn out the people who do stay until you can get the recruitment done and get somebody in,” Douglas said. “Although we just have the one vacancy now, we’ve had several vacancies throughout the last year. So I feel like I’ve been through constant recruitment.”

Katie Butler, nutrition services worker at Kettle Run High School, prepares lunch for students. Nine openings in the nutrition department are currently listed on the schools’ website.

So does Melissa Allen, manager of the John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District. Her tiny agency, slotted for six employees

including herself, runs conservation programs and projects to clean up the county’s streams. By last July, it had given $12.4 million to Fauquier farmers to help pay for pollution-reduction projects.

This past year, the agency found itself in a manpower crisis. A conservation specialist left in October 2020; the district manager left in March 2021 and the education specialist left in April. That’s half the staff. Allen became acting manager, even though she expected to go on maternity leave in the fall.

When it lost its specialist who had been monitoring the quality of streams, the agency had to stop doing that for months. The then-director turned down a grant to improve Goose Creek because the agency did not have enough manpower to administer it. Some of its work in small conservation projects was taken up by the Friends of the Rappahannock, a Fredericksburg-based non-profit.

Filling the positions took some time, but now, said Allen, they are back on track. They re-applied for the Goose Creek grant they lost. Requests are coming in from schools for conservation education, and they are monitoring water quality again.

And Allen is thankful for how their new hires turned out. “People can look good on paper [but you don’t know] until you get them in the office and you see how the personalities are going to work out. I think when it does work out it’s just a huge sense of relief and accomplishment,” she said.

Community Development

Things are moving slower in the community development department, however, which has yet to fill four vacancies. The department is short two planners and two plans reviewers, positions critical for the approval of development applications.

The planner jobs’ pay ranges from about $50,000 to $90,000 annually.

“With the vacancies, some application types are taking longer for review. As you can imagine, being short-staffed places burden on the employees we do have as they are picking up the extra workload,” said department director Holly Meade in an email.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Joined by Darlene Wagner, the school division’s transportation director, human resources generalist Amanda Atwell addresses a livestreamed job fair event for Fauquier County Public Schools held Oct. 27.

As Fauquier competes with other counties and the private sector for employees, recruiters struggle to fill vacancies RESIGNATION, from page 4 “I will tell you, we’re definitely short-staffed in Holly’s division. I know a lot of them are doing multiple jobs,” said Downes.

Meade cited a variety of reasons for the departures, including people who found jobs closer to home, moved to the private sector or obtained higher salaries. “It has been extremely difficult finding qualified people that are a good fit with our team,” she said.

Commissioner of the Revenue

On the other hand, Eric Maybach, the county’s commissioner of the revenue, is in good shape. He has only one opening, created when a deputy commissioner decided to go back to school. The vacancy is for a skilled clerical worker dealing with office and tax matters. It pays between $13.49 to $23.88 per hour.

“I have about 36 applications for the job,” he said.

Environmental Services and General Services

Michael Kresse is the director both of general services and environmental services, overseeing buildings and grounds, the county’s fleet and the landfill and trash sites.

The two departments employ 108 full-time people; as of last week, they had nine openings.

“During the height of the pandemic, it was difficult to fill open positions,” he said. “But it definitely seems to be picking up again,” he said. He said his departments promote a lot from within and from temporary to permanent positions, which helps.

That said, finding employees in the skilled trades is always a problem in Northern Virginia, as the applicant pool is small. A solid waste management operator’s job, which is open now, requires a commercial truck driver’s license, something that Kresse said can be in short supply. On the other hand, he is looking forward to filling a maintenance

supervisor job soon. Its pay range is $55,536 to $98,312. “We had dozens of applications for that,” he said.

Kresse’s departments did not lose people who decided they liked working at home and did not want to come back — his people cannot work from home. “Our ability to work remotely is not the same as a traditional, you know, office-type setting. So we really didn’t see that,” he said.

His biggest problem these days is not filling vacancies; it’s getting parts and new equipment. “The supply chain has been the biggest issue.

A far bigger issue than manpower for us,” he said.

Human Resources

Over in HR, Downes is trying: She holds weekly jobs fairs. Her team calls back applicants immediately and schedules face-to-face interviews with those who look promising. They don’t want to keep applicants dangling and lose them.

She and her colleagues are trying social media, virtual jobs fairs, connecting with the community college, phoning applicants directly. They are trying to get students from college programs into government internships.

She says the county offers an attractive package – competitive pay; a pension plan; health benefits, including medical, dental and vision; a wellness center; and and an individual retirement plan. Some departments allow employees to work at least part of the week from home.

Still, job-seekers think that the private sector pays better than government, and affordable housing is scarce in Fauquier.

“We’re trying to be creative and innovative. It’s still a little bit hard just to source people, because I think we’re all shopping the same set of people,” she said. In the old days, she said, if her office held a job fair, she would see 200 to 300 people. “Last week, I had my biggest job fair.

Future of Warrenton Main Street improvements, Walker Drive roundabout uncertain

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

Cost estimates for two proposed Warrenton road projects have risen by millions of dollars from initial projections, leaving Warrenton Town Council members frustrated and uncertain about how to proceed.

As of Tuesday morning, whether or not council members would agree to move forward on applying for another round of cost-sharing grants for the projects through the Virginia Department of Transportation was still up in the air. Council members were scheduled to vote on the issue following a public hearing Tuesday evening, after the Fauquier Times goes to press.

“I think this is asinine. I think our locality and our citizens are getting

screwed by VDOT,” said Councilman Sean Polster (At-large) of the increased cost estimates. He expressed hope that state and federal funding for local projects might increase. “So no, I don’t think we need to shut this down and walk away. … So yes, I am fired up.”

Polster suggested holding off on a decision about whether to apply during the 2021 grant cycle until next month, even though the deadline was Oct. 8.

“We’re as far out as we can be. … we need to move forward, or not,” said Mark Nesbit, a VDOT engineer, in response. But in reply to further questioning from Polster, he acknowledged that “VDOT will have to make a deciSee ROUNDABOUT, page 30

About the projects Main Street

A concept to make Main Street more pedestrianfriendly was first presented in 1992, and the current plan mirrors that original concept, Planning Manager Denise Harris said Tuesday.

The current proposal, which Harris emphasized is still preliminary, would add raised brick crosswalks, widen sidewalks, make curbs accessible to people with disabilities and add “bump outs” to sidewalks to increase the visibility of pedestrians to drivers.

Many of the improvements would mirror the 2018 pilot project that added “bump outs” and improved

A concept developed by engineering firm Kittleson and Associates shows a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Walker Drive, East Lee Street and Oliver City Road. Space for adding an additional lane in the future, shown in orange, is incorporated into the design.

crosswalks at the intersection of Main Street and Fifth Street, explained John Wright of Bohler Engineering.

“It’s enhancing what was done as a pilot program at Fifth Street and extrapolating that across Main Street,” he said.

Walker Drive roundabout The single-lane roundabout proposed at the intersection of Walker Drive, East Lee Street and Oliver City Road would be large enough for a school bus or fire engine to pass through it without the need to use curbs or “truck aprons,” according to the latest design concept presented to council members Tuesday morning.

It would also include sidewalks and shared-used paths in an effort to make the intersection safer for pedestrians. “Improved multimodal connections will assist residents south of the roundabout … access the town center and the new development along Walker Drive,” said an Oct. 26 planning document.

Also included in the design is built-in space to add an additional lane within the roundabout if traffic demands increase in the future. That would reduce the initial cost and make the roundabout easier for drivers to use, said the Oct. 26 document. “A pure single-lane configuration may in fact function adequately longer, or even in perpetuity,” the document said.

Glenn Youngkin’s victory in last week’s gubernatorial election marks the first time a Republican has won a statewide election since 2009.

Thanks to an energized Republican turnout, Youngkin captured 50.6% of the 3,286,997 votes cast, with Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe receiving 48.6%, according to the latest data from the Virginia Department of Elections.

The 2021 election saw 55% voter turnout; the highest for a statewide election in recent history.

Youngkin’s victory follows a long-standing pattern in Virginia gubernatorial elections, which always take place the year following a presidential election. With only one exception in the past 40 years, whichever party doesn’t hold the White House takes the governor’s mansion. McAuliffe’s tight win over Ed Gillespie in the 2013 election, when Democrat Barack Obama was president, is the one exception to this pattern.

This year’s election also saw a significant drop in absentee voting, which accounted for just 36.5% of ballots cast. During the 2020 election, 63% of votes were absentee.

Ballots cast in Fauquier County for Republican and Democratic candidates in gubernatorial Ballots cast in Fauquier County as a share of all registered voters and presidential elections as a share of all registered voters

SHARE OF REGISTERED VOTERS

By Liam Bowman and Coy Ferrell

Voters in Fauquier County have for decades turned out in large numbers for Republicans in presidential election years, with about 45% of all registered voters in the county casting ballots for Republican candidates since the turn of the century. As in many conservative counties throughout Virginia, turnout among Republican voters skyrocketed to nearpresidential-year levels in last week’s gubernatorial election, breaking 40% of the total electorate for the first time in recent memory. Democratic turnout in the county, on the other hand, barely surpassed that of 20 years ago.

In Fauquier County, voters remain overwhelmingly supportive of Republican candidates, with 33,992 county residents – accounting for 62% of registered voters – casting

ballots in the 2021 election. Youngkin won 65.5% of votes in the county to McAuliffe’s 34%. Then-President Donald Trump won 57.5% of Fauquier County votes in last year’s presidential election.

Absentee voting also dropped off in Fauquier County. In 2021, 12,979 absentee ballots were cast (38.2% of votes), compared to 28,422 (65% of votes) in 2020.

Republicans in deeply conservative Fauquier County turned out in record proportions this year; votes for Youngkin accounted for more than 40% of all registered voters in the county. No single gubernatorial candidate had turned out more than 28% of the Fauquier electorate before this year.

In fact, this year’s gubernatorial race drew turnout rivaling presidential-year elections. Votes in Fauquier County for Republican presidential candidates have hovered around 45% of the total electorate in this century, while Democratic turnout has varied wildly.

Democratic turnout for presidential elections peaked with Barack Obama’s election to the presidency in 2008 but by 2016 had declined to what it was during the 2000 presidential election.

In gubernatorial elections, however, Republicans have seen progressively higher turnout in the county while Democratic turnout has remained proportionally — and consistently — low.

Ballots cast for Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Earley in 2001, for instance, accounted for 28% of the Fauquier electorate at the time, meaning Youngkin’s candidacy encouraged a leap of 13% Republican participation in comparison.

Election results

The current vote tallies are based on the latest available data from the Virginia Department of Elections.

Results remain unofficial until they are certified by the Virginia State Board of Elections on Nov. 15.

Republicans’ gains in Fauquier have come despite a significant amount of population growth — a factor that has contributed to a leftward political trend in some neighboring counties.

Since 2000, the county has added more than 17,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, with most of the growth coming prior to the 2008 housing market crash.

Retired Air Force Col. Richard Koehnke recalls Vietnam War exploits KOEHNKE, from page 1 It’s incredible the things that went through my mind in those moments.

Koehnke survived this and 284 other missions during two Vietnam tours and retired after a career in the Air Force.

Koehnke left the Air Force at age 58 after 31 years of service, when his first wife became sick with cancer.

Today, he lives a peaceful life with his wife, Peggy, and their dogs, and enjoys time on his sunporch enjoying the passage of each season and telling stories from his days in service.

Early days

Koehnke decided he didn’t want to sleep on the ground in the jungle and eat C-rations like his three cousins who were Army rangers and parachuters. He said he preferred to complete his mission and return to base at the end of each day to go to the club for something decent to eat.

He entered the Air Force in December 1959, and when he completed his training, he selected the F100 Super Saber for his first operational aircraft and was ultimately assigned to the 523 Tactical Fighters Squadron.

Six years later he was assigned to fly the F105 Thunderchief in Bitburg Air Base in West Germany. There, he transitioned to the F4D Phantom.

His next assignment took him to Southeast Asia and Da Nang Air Base to fly the F4 for Operation Rolling Thunder, a gradual aerial bombardment campaign over Vietnam with a mission to destroy infrastructure.

The Rolling Thunder bombing campaign began in 1966 and continued until 1970. Koehnke participated in both Rolling Thunder, flying the F105 against North Vietnam supplies and material, and subsequent Campaign Line Backer, flying the F4 in support of the B52 operations.

In all, Koehnke flew 450 combat hours during 285 combat missions over Southeast Asia during his two Vietnam War tours. He flew F105 and F4 aircraft. When asked which he preferred, he said, “The F105, because she always brought me home.”

Meritorious medals

Koehnke was awarded several medals for his meritorious performance during his time in Vietnam.

“These medals,” he commented, “for many of them, you are just trying to get out of a situation alive.

Drop bombs and get out.”

He received the Silver Star for a mission to bomb a triple 85MM AAA gun site. “I was bombing the site with proximity fuses, but I didn’t roll in. I was knocked in,” he said.

An 85mm went through his wing tip and the second one lodged in his fuel tank, which caught fire. “To get out of the situation, I needed to drop my bombs and head out. I hit my target.”

Although on fire, Koehnke didn’t have concerns about the aircraft exploding. “They didn’t blow up much.

At those speeds with the air coming in at them, it kept the fire contained.”

On more than one occasion, Koehnke’s aircraft was hit by antiaircraft fire or clipped by his fellow pilots, which caused fires. “Early in my tour at Takhli, a friend told me, ‘if hit and burning and heading in the right direction, stay with the aircraft until the soles of your shoes melt.’”

Koehnke was confident in the high-grade steel of his F150. “She was meant to take a hit or two and keep going.”

War contributions

Koehnke made valuable contributions during the Vietnam War. When the North Vietnam attacked the south, they engaged the US Marines at Hill 882. The problem was that all the helicopter landing zones were defended by the Vietnamese.

Koehnke devised a solution to drop two proximity fuse bombs sequentially to clear new landing sites.

After proving successful in an area thick with jungle on the Thailand and Cambodia border, it was used multiple times with success in South Vietnam.

After the war, Koehnke was given a project to streamline the F4 cockpit. He helped to add the 556 modifications to the F4, also referred to as the pinkie switch. This modification added a switch on the outside of the pilot’s left throttle and enabled the pilot to select which air-to-air the pilot desired and removed the need to look into the cockpit for the proper switch, a movement that could result in vertigo.

This project and its operational concept became named HOSAT, Hands on Stick and Throttle. The HOSAT operational model has been used in all new fighter cockpits since.

No hero’s welcome

While Koehnke is proud of his service days, he did not return home to a hero’s welcome. “My kids were 7 and 5 years old when I came home.

They had red paint thrown on them and were told their father was a baby-killer. We experienced all the anger that had been growing back home, while we were half a world away doing what we were told to do,” he recalled.

His disappointment extends to the Vietnam Memorial. “I don’t like how it is hidden from the road. As if the Vietnam soldiers should be put away and forgotten.”

But a statue of three soldiers and one of the Vietnam nurses resonate for him. “I rode with three nurses in Vietnam who I knew from Germany. I will never forget the expression on their faces. It was as if they had lost all emotion. One told me that she held a young man as he died in her arms, a young man who she had babysat for back home. I don’t know how they did what they did every day,” he said.

Despite hardships, Koehnke enjoyed his Air Force days. “We only worked half days,” he joked. “Twelve hours is half-a-day.”

Tyronne Champion steps down as pastor at True Deliverance church in Bealeton T. Tyronne Champion has announced he will step down Feb. 1 after almost 25 years as bishop and senior pastor of True Deliverance Church of God near Bealeton, according to a Friday press release.

“I am grateful for my time as pastor, but I have been called to another effort that will require much of my time and energy,” Champion said.

“My pastoral season has ended but a new season is beginning.”

He said he plans to focus on establishment of Ethnos College in Fauquier — a higher education institution that will offer biblical degrees and courses in nonprofit management.

“My commitment is to continue to serve our community by providing high-quality, Biblical-

ly-based education to develop spiritual, business and community leaders that can impact our community and beyond with their good works,” Champion said.

He announced the plan to parishioners in September.

“This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make,” he noted., “I love the True Deliverance congregation; my heart will always be here.

I will continue my role as executive director for Community Touch as we continue to serve Fauquier with our transitional housing services, food support, clothing and household goods.”

True Deliverance Church will conduct a pastoral search over the next few months and plan to install its new spiritual leader when one is selected.

Public hearings on use of carryover funds, multiuse industrial building this week

dustrial use before the second structure can be built. Last month, planning commissioners unanimously recommended that supervisors approve the proposal.

Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors will convene Wednesday, Nov. 10 at the Warren Green Building in Warrenton for its monthly work sessions and regular meeting. The work session begins at 11 a.m., and the regular meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. The board typically meets on Thursdays, but this month’s meeting was rescheduled because of the Veterans Day holiday.

Members of the public may address the board during the evening meeting during citizen’s time or during one of the eight public hearings scheduled for specific agenda items. The supervisors’ full agenda can be found at agenda.fauquiercounty.gov.

Carryover funds

A public hearing will be held Wednesday evening before supervisors decide how to allocate $3.4 million left over from the fiscal year 2021 budget. A work session will be held earlier in the day, during which more details will be shared about possible uses for the funds.

Zoning approval process for religious venues

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

A public hearing will be held Wednesday on a request to build a 130,000-square-foot multiuse industrial building on Whiting Road in the Marshall Service District. A similar, 110,000-square-foot structure (pictured) was built in 2019 on an adjacent lot.

panies. Pruit now wants to build an almost identical building, called the Marshall Business Center II, on an adjoining 12-acre lot.

Like the first building, the new building would be designed to accommodate a wide range of light industrial uses. Because portions of the vacant lot are currently zoned for commercial and other non-industrial uses, the lot must be rezoned for in-

A public hearing will be held Wednesday evening on a proposed change to the zoning approval process for large religious venues in the county. This is the third public hearing on the issue — others were held in September and October.

The proposed amendment, which would affect “places of worship” larger than 10,000 square feet, is intended to bring the approval process for large religious facilities in line with the process for non-religious buildings of the same scale, supervisors have said.

Supervisors agreed at their Oct. 14 meeting to amend the proposed language to clarify the county’s preference that large facilities of any type be built within service districts.

Initially, the proposed amendment included a provision that religious buildings exceeding 10,000 square feet should be built on at least 10 acres. The new language eliminates the minimum acreage requirement in service districts.

‘Stuff the Bus’ collects donations to help support local food bank

By Kelly O’Lone

Special to the Fauquier Times

Nearly 16,000 pounds of food were donated to the Fauquier Community Food Bank and Thrift Store during the ninth annual “Stuff the Bus” event on Saturday, Nov. 6. Four buses were situated at three separate locations across the county, sparking friendly competition among the north, south and central divisions.

The event traditionally is held at local schools; however, the pandemic forced organizers to come up with a new plan last year. That’s when the idea to position buses at various locations throughout the county came to fruition.

County employee Karen Embrey said donations in 2020 were down because of the pandemic. “In 2019, we had … 15,000 pounds of food donated, but last year there was less than 10,000,” she said.

Donations to the food bank are vital, said Executive Director Sharon Ames. The food bank feeds 150 to 200 families weekly. Ames said, “We rely on stuff the bus. We couldn’t do what we do without the community.” With the donations received, the food bank will make several hundred Thanksgiving baskets to ensure each recipient has everything they need to put dinner on the table.

Lead bus driver Chanda Mullins said that at the Warrenton Walmart, Mullins had Christmas inflatables set up outside her bus to grab shoppers’ attention. “I realized I’m a very blessed person, and you see these families, and I feel like we can do so much more,” she said. “I hate to see anyone go hungry.”

Bus drivers and other volunteers were on hand to load the buses full of canned goods, frozen turkeys and plenty of sides. There was a steady flow of shoppers at each location, bringing bags full of donations to help the cause. Drivers brought the food-filled buses back to the food bank for the big weigh-in and to start the sorting process.

All hands were on deck at the Bealeton Food Lion to unload a donation of over 120 cases of water.

Richard Hartmann and Teri Sisk were two of the volunteers helping out with the Stuff the Bus effort.

Hartmann is in his fifth year of driving a Fauquier County school bus; Sisk drove a school bus for 18 years but is now a transportation department dispatcher.

Once the final numbers were in, the southern division reigned champion, with more than 9,500 pounds of food.

Food collections will continue this week. On

Nov. 12, students across the county have been asked to bring in donations to further “stuff the bus.” For more information on how to help, visit www.fauquierfoodbank.org.

“Amahl and the Night Visitors” has been described as “The Nutcracker” of opera.

A Christmas tale: Grace Episcopal presents ‘Amahl and the Night Visitors’

By James Ivancic

Special to the Fauquier Times

Its tale of hardship, redemption and the true meaning of Christmas has made “Amahl and the Night Visitors” a holiday classic since it was first presented on the CBS television network in 1951. Shakespeare Opera Theatre brings its version back to Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains for 4 and 7 p.m. performances on Saturday, Dec. 18.

Attendees will be asked for a donation, but the 4 p.m. performance will be free for those with special needs. The production will have only a pianist accompanying the actors out of consideration for those with sensory issues. Christmas treats, crafts and a question-and-answer session with cast members will follow the matinee.

The 7 p.m. performance will offer

The Shakespeare Opera Theatre will perform two performances of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” on Saturday, Dec. 18.

a more expansive musical accompaniment of piano, flute and violin.

Admission is always free to first responders, active military members and low-income individuals.

Accessibility is important to the Shakespeare Opera Theatre, which has an “abilities committee” to ensure that those with disabilities can enjoy its productions. “[Amahl] was supposed to be a one-off thing but it’s become ‘The Nutcracker’ of opera,” explained Lori Lind, managing director of the Shakespeare Opera Theatre. She explained that in the heartwarming story, the three kings are on their way to Bethlehem, travelling day and night.

“They basically make a pit stop and find themselves in a shepherd’s home; we imagine it’s in Jordan.”

Appropriately for the story of Christmas, “Amahl and the Night

Visitors” includes a miracle. The one-act performance runs about 50 minutes, and its leading role is a young boy, so the play is perfect for the younger crowd.

The six principal performers and a shepherd chorus of 10 present the dialogue of the show in song; a shepherd’s dance will delight audiences.

The cast – all professionally trained -- will work from a stage and the balcony in the hall.

Shakespeare Opera Theatre

Shakespeare Opera Theatre was a springboard for Clark Furlong, who starred in the lead role of Amahl in the 2018 production and has since won roles in HBO’s “Euphoria” and in “Prodigal Son” and “The Rookie” on network television.

“Amahl” was presented at Grace in 2019, but last year’s performance schedule was hammered by COVID. “We were dark for about a year and a half since ‘Hamlet’ closed in February 2020. We feel especially blessed. We did lose major sponsors and had a $1,500 deficit, but individual donations filled in the gap,” Lind said.

A Shakespeare theater group in Alexandria wasn’t so lucky and didn’t survive, she added.

The SOT was founded in 2015, and Grace Episcopal has served as its home base since 2018. St. David’s Episcopal Church in Ashburn now hosts performances as well.

It opened its 2015 inaugural season with a production of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” along with Berlioz’s opera based on the popular comedy.

“In five years, we’ve grown. We have three producers, a stage manager and have hired a public relations person,” said Lind. Her goal is to concentrate on the creative side and give up her managing director’s administrative duties.

Lind comes from a background as a professional opera singer. She holds a doctorate in musical arts and has taught. She is also the organist and choirmaster at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, Virginia.

“Jason and also Weston have been instrumental in mentoring me in this career shift,” said Lind, referring to Jason Farris, the director of music at Grace Episcopal, and the Rev. Weston Mathews, the church rector.

We now have a tool to prevent the spread – and mutation – of COVID-19 Health department expert urges parents to have their children vaccinated

In January 2020, the Chinese government formally notified the U.S. about a novel virus outbreak in Wuhan. The virus, which causes COVID-19, proceeded to spread rapidly around the globe. By February, your small but mighty public health team was working hard to prepare.

We researched, updated our local leadership and healthcare providers and investigated suspect cases. By March 2020, the RRHD identified our initial confirmed case.

That night, we called the first of many contacts. They were scared. There were so many unknowns. What was it? How severe? How was it spread? We did our best to both educate and comfort, explained the importance of quarantine and instructed patients to call us if they developed any symptoms.

The most common questions were “Can I go home?” “May I be around my family?” “Can I hug my child?” Any parent will tell you: There is no worry like the worry for your child.

I understand those fears. My son is an only child with two essential personnel working parents. In the early days, Tom (my husband) took his scrubs off in the garage and immediately showered. Depending on my work, I did the same thing. We were terrified that our jobs would place our son at risk. There was also the worry about his isolation. We worked such long hours – what was this doing to him?

As we learned more, we relaxed a little. We were vaccinated and schools re-opened. We were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and talking again about travel and parties, and life without masks. Then came Delta.

Our case counts surged and hospitals were full once again. Except this time people were less likely to take our calls. Frustrations ran high.

Fatigue had set in. And this time, kids got sick.

Most of them had a mild illness, but just based on the sheer volume, we had children in the hospital and the ICU. Tragically, some died.

Today, we have a safe and effective vaccine authorized by the FDA and CDC recommended for ages 5 to 11. This is fantastic news. Vaccines are a critical tool that protect children and their families.

Yet parents across our region will pause.

“What should I do?” “Is my child at risk?” “The vaccine is new.” “My child will likely be fine.”

And they’ll be right. If your child gets sick with COVID-19, more likely than not they will have a cold. In many ways, the vaccine really isn’t for them. It’s for their parents, and even more so, their grandparents. Young children can and do spread the virus that causes COVID-19. It will continue to spread, and potentially mutate, until we control it in children and adults. We now have a tool to do just that.

There are many reasons to vaccinate: • Individual protection against illness; more than 1.9 million cases in the 5 to 11 age group have been reported in the United States, with more than 8,300 hospitalizations, more than 2,300 cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), and 94 deaths • During Delta, more than 30% of children hospitalized did not have an underlying health condition • Helps our kids stay in school; vaccinated children do not have to quarantine • Rates of MIS-C are highest among 5 to 11 year olds • Once in the hospital, one-third of children ended up in the ICU • Decrease community transmission; children

contribute to spread (and potential mutations) • As long as the virus circulates, there will be severe cases and deaths The holidays are rapidly approaching. As we gather with friends and family, please remember this: According to the Centers for Disease Control, 70% of breakthrough cases resulting in hospitalization and 87% of those resulting in death were in patients over 65.

Unvaccinated persons continue to fuel this pandemic and can spread disease to those most at risk. Yes, your child would probably escape COVID unscathed, but your mother might not be so lucky.

If you have questions, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Visit https://www.vaccinatepiedmont.com/ and watch Dr. Joshua Jakum’s virtual town hall and scroll through the questions and answers. If you want to make an appointment, consider where you and your child will be most comfortable – at school, a local pharmacy or with your trusted provider.

To make an appointment at the RRHD clinic at the Reva Fire Department (18230 Birmingham Road), please visit rrhd.org or call 540-308-6072.

Residents may also sign up for appointments at vaccines.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA or contact their child’s healthcare provider.

Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history. Pediatric vaccines are the next step to help protect both children and their families.

APRIL ACHTER, MPH Population health coordinator Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District

Thoughts on critical race theory It is evident that the recent gubernatorial election results turned in part on negative voter reaction to the possibility that critical race theory might be taught in Virginia’s schools. That it is not currently being taught evidently did not matter. Still, that fact hardly stopped the voters’ panicked flight to feel-good education from a clear-eyed understanding about slavery’s profound impact on American society. America’s sordid history of enslavement and its deep impacts on our social structure and political attitudes did not, of course, end with the Civil War, or with Reconstruction, or with the end of the Jim Crow era. Rather, these effects are deeply embedded in our current attitudes and behaviors, and they are as alive today as they ever were. The fact that none of us ever owned slaves hardly absolves us from our responsibility to understand and work to overcome slavery’s evil consequences.

Like it or not, slavery may well be the single most important defining element of our national character. That this is so little understood by the voting public is both tragic and shameful.

I’m certain that few, if any, of those ran away from the term “critical race theory” can even state in any meaningful way what the term means. No, an accurate and complete comprehension of slavery’s meaning for America is not being taught in Virginia’s elementary and secondary schools. But to combat the ignorance that is so widespread within the voting public, it should be.

NOT A BIRD BOWL, BUT STILL AN EPIC FOOTBALL GAME TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/COY FERRELL

Above, Ben Noland’s third quarter touchdown surge put Fauquier ahead 17-14. The game went back and forth to a dramatic finish that saw Liberty hold on for a 24-20 win. The game goes into the books as a Eagle forfeit victory due an unfortunate overscheduling issue by Fauquier (SEE STORY, PAGE 26).

Liberty edges Fauquier 24-20 on Jacobs’ TD run with 2:22 left

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The circumstances made it the weirdest Bird Bowl in history.

Whoops, this wasn’t officially a Bird Bowl.

You wouldn’t have known it from the power, passion and drama displayed in Liberty’s 24-20 victory over Fauquier in the annual regular season-ending spectacle Friday in Bealeton.

The game goes into the record books as a 1-0 Eagle victory since Fauquier was forced to forfeit earlier in the week due to an unfortunate overscheduling issue. VHSL officials allowed the game to be played, knowing its value to the community.

The Eagles scored the winning points on Austin Jacobs’ 1-yard touchdown run with 2:22 left, but the game had another twist as Liberty had to hold off the Falcons one more time after Fauquier reached the Liberty 8-yard line.

The game ended when Fauquier’s Ben Noland could not haul in an option pass near the goal-line.

“It was exciting for everybody. Two teams going back and forth. We had a chance to win and that’s all you can ask for,” said Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter.

Due to two forfeits, the Falcons finished 2-9, but Friday’s loss in what amounted to a high-intensity exhibition game was a tough one as Fauquier felt close to the win. “We did. We were on our way playing good defense. We were stopping them and doing what our plan said. But we put them in good situations at times and you can’t do that,” said Buckwalter.

After coming into the game at 0-8, Liberty finished 1-8 with a perfect feel-good memory to

Austin Jacobs scores the winning points on a 1-yard fourth quarter run up the middle.

Bird Bowl streak still at 18

There was no Bird Bowl this season. Liberty has won 18 Bird Bowls in a row and leads the Bird Bowl series 23-4. In all games against each other, Liberty leads 30-8 after Friday’s 1-0 forfeit win.

Next year’s 28th Bird Bowl will be at Fauquier. build on. Liberty freshman Austin Mawyer quarterback was his team’s MVP with a TD running and one passing.

“I think we ended on a strong note. I’m happy with that last game and how we played offense the last three games. It’s still a work in progress. We need a huge offseason to get back where we want to be,” said Liberty coach Travis Buzzo.

It sure felt like a Bird Bowl as the teams slugged it out, trading the lead four times in what will surely go down as one of the most evenly played matchups in the 28-year rivalry.

Fauquier took a 10-0 lead and was in great position heading into the half only to watch Liberty score two touchdowns in 30 seconds to pull ahead 14-10 at the break.

Liberty kept control early in the third, reaching the Falcon 12 as Eagle quarterback Austin Mawyer came up short on a 10-yard scramble on fourth down.

After stopping the Falcons and taking over at the 50, an Eagles’ trick play backfired as Landon Triplett’s pass was picked off by Ye Russell after being tipped by John Bynaker downfield.

“It was a play that had a shot to be a big play.

We were trying to call something to take full control of the game. It was a giant momentum swing,” said Buzzo.

Fauquier drove 49 yards to take a 17-14 lead with 2:05 left in the third when quarterback Noland got in on a fourth down run from the 1-yard line. The Eagles had stopped three previous Falcon runs from the 1. Fauquier’s drive featured a key 29-yard reception by Bynaker to the 1.

“That was huge. It was fourth down and inches or so. I thought he got in before that,” said Buckwalter of the go-ahead score that shifted the control back to the Falcons.

Liberty responded with a 61-yard drive as Cody Owens powered through several Falcon tacklers on a 24-yard run. The drive stalled with kicker Nick Paratore nailing a 26-yard field goal to tie it at 17-17 with 10:28 left.

Fauquier regained the lead on the next possession as Kaden Fox broke a long kickoff return before slowing down with a leg cramp injury at the See RIVALRY, page 26

‘I AM VERY PROUD OF THESE GIRLS’

Falcons, Cougars fall in field hockey regionals

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Fauquier and Kettle Run field hockey teams could not overcome the firepower of the Dulles District schools in last week’s Class 4 Region D semifinals.

Visiting Kettle Run, the Northwestern District’s No. 2 representative, dropped a 6-0 mercy rule decision Nov. 2 at Loudoun County, the Dulles District’s tournament champion. The Cougars ended their season at 9-8.

On Nov. 3, host Fauquier absorbed a 3-0 loss against Heritage. The top seed out of the Northwestern District, Fauquier finished 11-7-1.

The two Dulles rivals squared off for a fourth time last Thursday in the championship game, with Heritage recording a 2-1 overtime win for the regional crown.

Heritage (15-6) hosted Courtland, the region C runner-up, Tuesday night in a state Class 4 quarterfinal.

Loudoun County (17-4) traveled to Region C champion Chancellor in the other quarter.

Falcons season ends

Heritage needed just three minutes, six seconds to open the scoring off a penalty corner.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

Zofeya Maldonado and the Falcons lost 3-0 to Heritage in the Class 4 Region D semifinals at Falcon Field on Nov 2.

Falcon goalkeeper Erin Irvin made two close range stops, but a pass after the second rebound to an unguarded Lauren Murphy resulted in a score. Irvin would finish with 16 saves, many of a difficult nature.

Both teams registered three corners in the period, but Fauquier had game-long problems executing their attempts.

“I definitely was disappointed in our corner plays,” Fauquier coach Brooke Settle lamented. “We have been very successful this year with them, and for whatever reason we fell short.”

Heritage struck again with 6:38 to play in the second quarter for a 2-0 halftime edge.

The Falcons picked up their inten-

sity in an effort to come back.

“I was pleased with the second half,” Settle said. “I felt like we had some really good movement and some nice offensive drives.”

The third period was scoreless.

Heritage made it 3-0 with 10:30 left in the game.

State meet next for swift Falcons Paccassi and Scott

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

PHOTO BY DAVE PACCASSI

Falcon junior Peter Paccassi will run in Saturday’s Class 4 state meet.

Then there were two.

Fauquier Falcon sophomore Cassidy Scott and junior Peter Paccassi both qualified for the Class 4 state championship this Saturday at Great Meadow.

Scott took fifth overall at the Nov. 2 Region C meet, clocking a time of 18 minutes, 37 seconds in the field of 59 runners. She was the first finisher not a member of the top three teams.

Paccassi (16:25) was the 13th overall placer out of 61 entries and the fifth independent runner to grab the final individual state berth.

The regionals were at Great Meadow on a different course than the state meet.

Scott will run at 1 p.m. at Saturday’s state meet and Paccassi at 1:45.

The top 15 finishers in each race earn all-state honors. Each of the four regions’ top three teams and top five individuals exclusive of those squads earned state berths.

Loudoun Valley of the Dulles District claimed the region’s girls team trophy with 47 points. Tuscarora (63), Lightridge (68), James Wood (86), Millbrook (105), Fauquier (138), Sherando (163) and Dominion (198) completed the eight squads competing. The top four squads from both the Northwest-

ern and Dulles Districts had advanced to last week’s regional competition.

Fauquier was third in its district meet.

Loudoun Valley (56) also was the boys region champion ahead of Handley (66), James Wood (69), Millbrook (84), Tuscarora (118), Dominion (138), Broad Run (163) and Liberty (207). The Eagle boys were the Northwestern District’s fourthplace finisher to earn a regional slot.

Loudoun Valley senior Ava Gordon, the defending Class 4 state champion, won the region title in 17:30. She finished 48 seconds ahead of Tuscarora’s Sadie Dillard.

Loudoun Valley’s Graham Mussmom won in 15:33, seven seconds ahead of Handley’s Nicolo Schianchi.

Scott will be seeking her second all-state cross country medal in seven months after placing seventh in April’s state meet. The 2020 season was postponed from fall to last spring by COVID-19 restrictions.

Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said Scott started strongly in a pack of the eventual top five finishers before falling off the pace.

“Cassidy was right there with those girls,” Jones said of the Northwestern District champion. “A little before the mile, she started to slip a little bit.

“She’s still learning to run with a stronger crowd. We’ve got to get her

more and more exposure to it. Within the second mile, Ava started to leave everybody behind, and people started to spread out.

“Cassidy had a strong race. She did outstanding,” Jones said.

Scott was expected to return to the state meet, however, Jones said the outlook was murky for Paccassi.

“I wasn’t sure about Peter because he has been nursing an injury all year long,” Jones pointed out. “We had to alter his training a lot.

“He put himself into position where he had a chance to make something happen. So, I’m very proud of him,” Jones praised.

Joining Scott for the Fauquier girls were Kiki Wine (25th, 20:09), Mackenzie Hodul (35th, 20:54), Eva Del Gallo (41st, 21:22), Meme Merchant (44th, 21:34), Julia Crowther (50th, 22:28) and Natalie Phillips (55th, 24:08).

The Liberty boys squad consisted of Cole Hoffman (38th, 17:34), Owen Rogers (45th, 17:50), James Lacey (48th, 18:15), Peter Rummel (52nd, 18:18) and Aidan Neidich (58th, 19:03).

Kayla Lopez was the lone Liberty girl in the race, finishing 30th at 20:36. Kettle Run had one entrant in each race, both placing 43rd. Kendall Schlueter’s time was 21:27, while Owen Mullins finished in 17:41.

“We had a lot of opportunities and fell short on touches and post tap ins,” Settle noted. “Which really affected our ability to score. I wish we had a little more grit in the circle, but overall the girls never gave up and really kept in the battle.

“I am very proud of these girls,” Settle said. “We went from the last two seasons being pretty rough to a winning season.

“The girls fought hard and continued to make improvements throughout the year. The girls really did a great job improving throughout the season.”

Bloom records 23 saves

A final score does not indicate the level of play or individual achievements.

The Kettle Run defense faced a persistent attack in losing 6-0 at Loudoun County, and the final count could have been more lopsided except for the play of junior goalkeeper Katie Bloom.

She finished with 23 saves against the 17-win Loudoun County squad.

Bloom also had a 32-save outing earlier in the season

Scoreless for more than 17 minutes, the host Captains then went on a binge with three goals in a span of 3:24 to break the game open. The first came with 12:33 remaining in the first half, followed by scores at 9:30 and 9:09.

“We started out really strong and held them the whole first quarter,” Kettle Run coach Julie Kulhberg said, adding her team “got discouraged after they scored a couple times.”

Loudoun County cranked up its penalty corner game in the second half, with all three goals coming off those opportunities.

The Captains scored at the 13:55 and 2:24 marks of the third period before a goal with 10:16 on the fourth-quarter clock brought the game to an end. Kettle Run had a third-quarter corner and finished with “four or five” shots on goal.

“I think my season was great,” Kuhlberg stressed. “We lost 10 seniors last year, and as you know replacing that many starters is hard.

“The team really stepped up to the challenge. We have a lot of talent and are glad we made it to regional play again this season.”

Forfeit loss to Liberty is Fauquier’s penalty for scheduling 11 games

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Overscheduling cost Fauquier a forfeit loss to Liberty and eliminated the two county rivals’ chances to play for the coveted Bird Bowl Trophy last week.

How did it happen? It traces back to the first week.

Prior to their Aug. 27 game at Independence.

Fauquier was having issues with COVID and also did not have enough practice time, partly due to weather, so the Falcons postponed the game.

“We were told we had eight weeks to reschedule the Independence game. If we could not agree (on a date), we could schedule other opponents,” said Fauquier activities director Mark Ott. Fauquier was responsible for the postponement and carried the possibility of a forfeit loss if the teams could not reschedule, or if Independence did not agree to classify the game as a no-contest.

Several weeks passed and Fauquier later went on to schedule Glen Allen, a team they’d located by using a VHSL resource.

Happy to get a fourth home game and fill out their 10-game schedule, Fauquier hosted Glen Allen on Oct. 15, losing 41-0 to the Class 5 program.

Ott said he had contact with the VHSL prior to scheduling Glen Allen and was told it could threaten Fauquier with an 11th game if Independence did not find another game and Independence did not agree to take a no-contest.

Ott said Independence officials did not know Fauquier had begun looking for another opponent.

Ott said when they heard Fauquier scheduled Glen Allen, they were “upset I did not consult them” and the game was recorded as a forfeit win for Independence, which finished 7-3 and will play in the Class 5 Region D playoffs.

“I do not blame them. I interpreted it one way and they did another. That’s where things got messed up,” said Ott. “Independence got in a situation where they needed power points and we were under the impression we could get a game in the bye week,” said Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter.

“The schools handled both these matters professionally and we look forward to our game against Fauquier next season,” said Independence activities director Ryan Rogers.

After playing Glen Allen, Fauquier had 11 games on their schedule, making the Liberty game a forfeit due to a VHSL penalty for overscheduling. The VHSL notified Fauquier last Wednesday that it must forfeit to Liberty, but approved of the teams still playing.

“This backfired on me,” said Ott. “It’s tough, it is. I’ve been in Fauquier County a long time.

It’s causing consternation in the community.”

Nevertheless, Ott feels good that the Falcons played 10 games, as did Buckwalter.

Many on the Fauquier side hoped the teams would still play for the Bird Bowl Trophy, perhaps as a symbolic gesture, but with the result already recorded as a Liberty win, the logistics of that were problematic.

Because of the unfortunate situation, Liberty does not get credit for a Bird Bowl win.

“The game was decided prior. I’m more happy with the win on the field than with forfeit prior to the game,” said Liberty coach Travis Buzzo.

Fauquier’s bid to beat Liberty in the closing moments came down to this near reception by freshman quarterback Ben Noland near the Liberty 5-yard line on a throw by Banks Massey that may have been tipped by an Eagle lineman.

Eagles win by forfeit and on the field in nailbiter RIVALRY, from page 22 28 when it looked like he might score. Fauquier’s drive reached the LHS 13 after a pass interference penalty, but after three short runs, Hensley came on for a 24-yard field goal as Fauquier took a 2017 lead with 6:46 left.

Fauquier had a chance to close out the game after stopping Liberty cold on the next possession.

The Eagles punted after three downs, with Fauquier taking over at the FHS 35.

“We were up 20-17 and gave them the ball back.

It was unfortunate. I haven’t watched the film and I don’t know if I will watch it,” said Buckwalter.

The Falcons’ final turnover was painful. After two runs netted four yards, Noland took a snap from the shotgun set, but the ball fell free as Noland scrambled to recover and couldn’t with Jacobs recovering at the FHS 27.

The Eagles fought off two costly penalties in driving for the winning points. Mawyer hit Owens for 11 yards on a screen, and Tyler Caporaletti to the 11, then Landon Triplett to the 8.

Mawyer almost scored near the right pylon as he reached the 1.

After an LHS timeout, Jacobs took a handoff from Mawyer and surged in easily for the 1-yard TD run with Paratore’s important extra point kick making it 24-20 with 2:22 to go.

“It was a basic run play, something we’ve run 25 times already. Their defensive end had to pick the running back or the quarterback and he chose the QB,” said Buzzo.

“Austin went in because he’s the bigger back than Cody. Austin’s 240 and Cody’s 170. It was a read play where the quarterback made the right play.”

The Eagles gave Fauquier a huge opening by misplaying the ensuing kickoff. Liberty kicked short then committed a late hit, allowing the Falcons to begin the drive with the ball at the FHS 35 with 2:15 left.

After a penalty to the 50, the Falcons threw an option pass with Massey connecting with Bynaker at the LHS 12 that appeared well-defended.

Falcon John Bynaker reaches over Jayden Ulloa for 29-yard catch to the LHS 1-yard line.

Previously winless Liberty rejoiced after a hardfought game. “We finally put it all together,” said coach Travis Buzzo.

“We were in perfect position to make a play. It hit off him into the receiver’s hand,” said a disappointed Buzzo.

“Bynaker made a phenomenal catch to put us in position. We had four tries,” Buckwalter lamented.

Taylor ran twice to reach the 8, then Noland threw incomplete near the goalline, setting up the fourth down. Massey took a pitch, ran to his left, stopped and threw but it was incomplete to Noland.

“It was supposed to go cross field to Dylan Taylor in the end zone. They tipped it and it went to Ben. It was not designed to go to Ben. A Liberty lineman tipped it,“ Buckwalter said.

There were some anxious moments as the Eagles were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, pushing the ball back from the 8 to the 1 with 31 seconds left.

After a timeout Mawyer took the ball and surged forward for the game’s final play.

“There was too much time to take a safety. We used our heavier personnel by putting two tight ends behind the guards so we had seven guys pushing instead of fice. We had a little wedge and it was like a QB sneak,” said Buzzo.

Falcons lead first half, then falter

The first half was scoreless until early in the second quarter when Nate Hensley drilled a 32yard field goal to give the Falcons a 3-0 lead. The drive was fueled by Massey, who contributed a 25-yard QB scramble and completed a 10-yard pass to Wes Heflin.

Fauquier made it 10-0 when Noland connected with Kaden Fox for a 49-yard TD strike with 2:45 left before intermission.

After being denied on their first five possessions by a feisty FHS defense, Liberty awoke thanks to a long kick return by Amr Ismael, who picked up a bouncing kick and returned it to the FHS 38. An FHS penalty for a horse-collar tackle moved the ball to the 23.

After being sacked for an 11-yard loss, Mawyer converted a huge fourth down when he hit Landon Triplett cutting across the middle for 17 yards to the 6-yard line.

Mawyer scored on the next play, faking to the fullback and running for six yards around right tackle. Paratore’s extra point made it 10-7 with 1:11 left in the half.

Lang sets passing marks as Cougars prepare for Tuscarora in playoff opener

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Kettle Run (9-1) will host Tuscarora (8-2) of the Dulles District Friday night at 7 p.m. in the first round of the Class 4 Region C playoffs.

Tuscarora finished fourth in the Dulles District, but has a potent program, making state finals in 2014, 2017 and 2019.

“Don’t let their No. 4 seed fool you. They can be a No. 1 seed. This will be a good test for us, but our boys have a good shot,” said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield, whose team is a No. 1 seed along with Broad Run. Tuscarora lost to Heritage and Broad Run. They feature a Virginia Tech recruit at running back in 5-foot-11, 195-pound senior Bryce Duke.

“Bryce Duke is as good a running back as you’ll see in the state all year long,” Porterfield said.

“Our message to the guys is there’s no easy games in our region, but we think we have a shot.”

Dulles District teams have fared well against Liberty and Kettle Run the last three seasons.

Heritage handed the Cougars their only loss this season, winning a back-and-forth game 28-25 way back on Aug. 27.

Kettle Run lost to Broad Run 5328 in last season’s Class 4 Region C semifinals.

In 2019, Tuscarora beat a then-undefeated Liberty squad 5322 in Class 4 Region C semifinals.

If Kettle Run wins, they’d host the James Wood-Heritage winner.

CLASS 4 REGION C PAIRINGS Tuscarora (8-2) at KETTLE RUN (9-1), Friday, 7 p.m.

Sherando (5-5) at Broad Run (9-1), Friday, 7 p.m.

James Wood (7-3) at Heritage (82), Friday, 7 p.m.

Loudoun County (8-2) at Handley (9-1), Saturday, 1 p.m.

Beau Lang set three Cougar passing records with the playoffs starting Friday.

Lang sets 3 records

The Cougars finished 6-0 in the Northwestern District and had all their offensive weapons clicking in a 57-35 season-ending win at Sherando.

Kettle Run senior quarterback Beau Lang passed former Cougar star Gabe Chumley in single season passing yards and touchdown passes in the win. Lang completed 15 of 18 passes for 322 yards and four TDs in the season finale.

Lang’s new TD passing mark is 34, topping the 31 by Gabe Chumley in 2018. Lang’s new passing yards mark is 2,143, topping Gabe Chumley’s 2,110 in 2018.

Also this season, Lang set a single season record for total offense with 2,841 yards and counting.

He broke the mark of 2,442 set by Casen Chumley in 2017.

Mawyer shines as Liberty’s MVP RIVALRY, from page 26 Fauquier made a crucial turnover trying for points right before halftime as Massey’s pass bounced off a receiver to Ismael, who returned it a few yards to the FHS 32.

On first down, Mawyer threw a deep fade to Joey Triplett up the right side. Triplett caught it near the goal, then stepped into the end zone for a 32-yard TD with 41 seconds left in the half. After Paratore’s kick, Liberty now led 14-10 with 14 points in just 30 seconds.

Buckwalter regrets going for too much when he could have run out the clock and maybe led 10-0.

“Yeah, we let them back in it.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda,” Buckwalter said.

VIRGINIA HORSE TESTS POSITIVE FOR EIA The Virginia state vet’s office confirmed a positive case of Equine Infectious Anemia in a quarter horse at a private farm in Carroll County, the first confirmed case of EIA in Virginia in several years.

A Coggins test was performed on the horse by an accredited veterinarian during routine regulatory testing at an auction.

As a result of the positive test, the horse has been euthanized.

An investigation is ongoing to determine the origin of the horse’s infection.

EIA is a viral disease of horses that is spread through biting insects.

Horses that become infected may show signs of fever, anemia, depression and weakness. Once infected, the horse becomes a lifelong carrier, putting other horses at risk.

The so-called Coggins test detects antibodies in the blood. All horses are required to have an annual “negative Coggins” in Virginia if they are sold, cross state lines or live with other owners’ horses such as at a boarding facility.

More information is at equinediseasecc.org.

Future of Warrenton Main Street improvements, Walker Drive roundabout uncertain ROUNDABOUT, from page 6 sion whether to accept [a late application] or not.”

Other council members echoed Polster’s frustration and a majority agreed in principle that they should hold off deciding the issue until next month. “It’s pretty frustrating that we would need to hold off on [applying for the cost-share grant] right now,” said Councilwoman Heather Sutphin (Ward 1).

Denise Harris, the town’s planning manager, had suggested waiting until the next application cycle — in 2023 — to apply for the cost-share grant for money to fund the Main Street and Walker Drive projects. “We think it would be a good moment to hit the pause button,” said Harris. “There are so many moving parts.” Waiting until 2023 would give planners ample time to find cost savings and efficiencies, something that wasn’t fully possible this fall, she said. Additionally, the town could explore additional funding sources.

And, she pointed out, the Main Street project doesn’t need to be done all at once. The town could use the $1.5 million already committed to the project in 2019 to make gradual progress on the project.

Background

In 2019, the town successfully ap-

plied for two cost-sharing grants to help pay for improvements to Main Street and for construction of a roundabout at Walker Drive and East Lee Street. Then, preliminary estimates put the Main Street project at $1.5 million and the roundabout at $1.4 million. The town committed to providing half of the funding, with the state paying for the rest.

When the state further analyzed the concepts, however, the cost estimates came back several times higher: $4.2 million (in 2021 dollars) for the Main Street project and $6.8 million for the roundabout. With inflation — the projects wouldn’t actually break ground until the late 2020s — the true combined cost could be closer to $17 million, according to VDOT estimates, meaning the town could be on the hook for more than $8 million if council members decided to move forward with the latest round of cost-share program applications.

The state informed the town about the new cost estimates in September, several weeks before the Oct. 8 deadline to apply for another round of state grants to help cover the increased costs.

Town planners, private engineers and VDOT officials rushed to find ways that the designs could be made more cost-efficient. The revised total estimated cost of the preliminary designs presented to council members Tuesday was between $6.7 million and $8.3 million in 2021 dollars.

Dr. Richard Henley Woodward “Woody” Waesche Dr. Richard Henley Woodward “Woody” Waesche passed away November 4, 2021, surrounded by family.

An eminent rocket scientist, Woody was born in Baltimore, MD on December 20, 1930 and graduated from Williams College in 1952 with a degree in Physics. After graduation he served in the U.S. Army’s Ordnance Corps and was stationed at Redstone Research Laboratory, Huntsville, AL where he met his wife of 62 years, Lucy Spotswood Waesche (White). They were married until her death in 2019.

His work in the 1950s led to the choice of the appropriate type of aluminum to ensure smooth combustion inside solid rocket motors.

Woody then attended Princeton University where he graduated with a Master’s (1962) and Ph.D. (1965) in Aerospace and Mechanical Sciences as a Guggenheim Fellow. In 1966, Woody became a Senior Research Engineer at United Technologies Research’s Propulsion Laboratory in East Hartford, CT where he managed programs to develop combustion for air launched missiles.

Woody and his growing family lived in nearby Glastonbury, CT until 1981.

Malcolm Randall (Randy) Fobes II Malcolm Randall (Randy) Fobes II, age 79, passed away Tuesday, October 26, 2021, at UVA Prince William Medical Center following a series of rapid health complications. He was born in Northampton, Massachusetts on May 16, 1942, the oldest son of Malcolm Randall Fobes and Elizabeth Fischer Fobes. His brothers, Peter Fobes, Paul Fobes and son Christopher Fobes pre-deceased him.

Randy is survived by his wife Betsie (Smith) Fobes, of Manassas; his children, Laura Fobes (Damien King) of Manassas, Michael Fobes (Beth) of Warrenton, and Malcolm Randall Fobes III (Levon) of Atherton, California. He leaves 8 grandchildren: Courtney, Drew, Mackenzie Reagan, Mackenzie Rae, Kaitlyn, Chase, Olivia and Luna. Randy was pre-deceased by his dogs Misty, Smitty, Stoney, Perri, and Jackson. He leaves Cali and Timmy.

Randy grew up in Cockeysville, Md, and graduated from Towson High School (1960). He went to the University of Maryland College Park and graduated in 1964 with a degree in Government and Politics. He remained a lifelong Terp fan, not missing an opening football game in Byrd Stadium until he was well into his 70s. He was equally passionate about UMD basketball and lacrosse. Randy’s grandpa name became “Terp” when his oldest grandchild Courtney Maxey was born. Since then, most friends and family called him “Terp” regardless of their age.

Randy was a Democrat and spent a lifetime working for social justice, women’s rights, and whatever candidate he fervently supported. Randy always voted. He believed in second chances and supported those whom he believed in. He loved history and his adopted state of Virginia, especially the Blue Ridge Mountains. He loved his family and his animals who followed him around begging for dog treats. Randy’s hang out was City Grill until covid hit and his own health issues kept him from enjoying his lunch and ginger ale.

Interment and graveside service will be at Little Georgetown Cemetery in Broad Run, Virginia on November 11, 2021, at 11 am. Friends and family are invited to celebrate his life at this time in this beautiful spot, surrounded by the rolling Virginia countryside and Randy’s Virginia mountains that he loved.

Eugene Ebeling Storey Eugene (Gene) Ebeling Storey passed away at the age of 91 years on November 3, 2021.

Gene grew up in LaPorte, Indiana. He enlisted in the Navy at age 18 and proudly served his country during the Korean War on board a heavy cruiser as a Hospitalman II. In 1950, he married the love of his life, Elizabeth “Joann” Clark shortly before he was shipped overseas. Honorably discharged from the Navy, Gene and Joann moved to Portland, Ore where daughter, Maureen, was born. But due to family illness, they soon moved back to LaPorte where Gene found a job delivering milk door-to-door in the snowy, bitter cold of Michigan City.

With the promise of lucrative jobs in the nascent aerospace industry, Gene, Joann and Maureen moved to northern California. Later, the family of three moved to St. Charles, Missouri and after 18 years of marriage, the family welcomed son and little brother, Eric to complete the family of four. Kansas City, Missouri became another new home where Gene worked for the Jackson County and the City of Kansas City water department.

Upon retirement, Gene and Joann moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Gene’s favorite pastimes were golfing and creating stained glass panels and lamps. With Joann, he loved singing in church choirs and later on with the Rappahannock Chorale Society in Fredericksburg. Although his memory faded over the years, Gene’s broad smile and twinkling cerulean eyes remained bright and clear.

Gene was preceded in death by Joann, his beloved wife of 63 years. Also preceding him in death were his father (Erwin), mother (Ardelia), stepfather (Julius Middledorf), and great-niece, Madison Draves.

Surviving Gene are his two children – daughter, Maureen Storey (son-in-law Gary Weaver) and son, Eric Storey (daughterin-law Tamra Beck Storey) and three grandchildren, Emily Robin Storey Weaver of Alexandria, Virginia, Mattison Storey and Caleb Storey of Dickinson, Texas. Also surviving are his “little” sister, Sandra Storey Draves whom he adored and brother-in-law, Richard (Dick) Draves, nephews Stephen Draves and Scott Draves (Terresa) and great-nephews Trevor Draves and Isaac Draves of LaPorte, Indiana.

Gene’s cremains will rest with Joann’s upon interment at the Columbarium in Arlington National Cemetery. A date for interment is not set yet.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation can be made to K-9 Caring Angels in Warrenton, Virginia.

Robert had a quiet reserve about him, but when surrounded by those he cared about, he could be the most outgoing and passionate of guys. He had a knack for tinkering and a green thumb. He loved spending time riding his 4-wheeler and being outdoors. The love for his family was uniquely shown, but it was true and deep. And this son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend was deeply loved in return. He is now resting peacefully in heaven with his little brother, Aaron, and big sister, Tara, and will be missed more than words could ever express.

Family and friends will gather for a Memorial Service on Saturday, November 13, 2021, at 1:00 PM at Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center St., Manassas, VA 20110.

Debra Ann Caviness Born in Wiesbaden, Germany as the only child of an Air Force Colonel, Debra Ann Caviness returned to the United States to live in Nebraska.

As life in America evolved from Beatniks to Beatles and The Rolling Stones, she headed back to Europe to live in Spain. While there, her parents took her to various parts of the continent, giving her a worldly perspective.

Returning to the States, she landed in Northern Virginia, living in a rural area of Springfield, Virginia, attending West Springfield High School. An interest in fashion led her to jobs in the retail side of the industry where she quickly excelled. Her career changed course when she took a job at Fairfax County Health and Human Services, assisting Administrators to become more successful at improving the Human condition. After retiring, she began renovating beach houses with skills that experts and professionals were in awe of. She was a natural and loved the idea that many family’s would have beach memories that would last a lifetime Everyone loved Debby, her smile and beautiful brown eyes that would follow you everywhere. Debra Ann Caviness was an extraordinary woman. Independent didn’t begin to describe her. Her confidence was unshakable. She was the greatest example of women being the stronger sex, nothing would stop her determination. She loved being in her garden growing flowers and vegetables, at the beach soaking up the sun and salt air, going to Rolling Stones concerts, or just hugging her many cats like a loving mother as they hugged her back. If she had a cause, she would never back down, knowing that her ideals were of the highest ethics and morals.

If you knew Debby, you were a very fortunate person. She had the most beautiful soul, a heart of Gold, and an amazing mind. This world just lost a most wonderful human.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in her name to the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Humane Society, American Red Cross, or Habitat for Humanity would be preferred.

540-364-2554 Facebook: stjohnsmarshall “At the Stop Light in Marshall” FUNERAL MUSIC Music plays a crucial role in all our lives. This also holds true when it comes to funerals. Funerals should be a commemoration of life, and music can be an essential part of this celebration.

When making funeral plans, it’s a good idea to consider whether you will play music at any point. Music is a simple way to personalize the ceremony and can often set the tone for the entire service, whether joyful, solemn, or uplifting. Genres can vary from pop songs to country music ballads, with classical music being the more popular choice. Think about your loved ones’ favorite music; as long as the selected pieces accurately represent them and are not offensive, no option is off-limits.

Planning a funeral service right down to the music and flowers can be a difficult process for families who have just lost a loved one. But it’s important to provide those who are grieving with a supportive environment in which they can begin to find closure, say goodbye, and come to terms with the loss.

MOSER FUNERAL HOME (540347-3431) can assist you in planning and coordinating all of the details of a funeral or memorial service. We invite you to stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton.

“Be the things you loved the most about the people who are gone.”
