Two-thirds of Fauquier students return to in-person learning By Coy Ferrell and Robin Earl
School division employees will receive $1,000 bonus
Times Staff Writers
Before the opening bell rang early Monday morning, students slowly trickled into Fauquier High School as their principal, Kraig Kelican, greeted them – often by name -- at the front door. “It’s gone very smoothly so far,” Kelican said between chats with students. It looked mostly like the beginning of a “normal” school day, and in many ways it was. Buses dropped students off at the side entrance as other students arrived in ones and twos in their own cars; on their way inside they passed under a giant inflated falcon usually reserved for football games. A crossing guard directed traffic at a busy intersection at the school exit. At 7:30 a.m. a voice came over the intercom: “All students should now be in their home rooms.” But the student parking lot, usu-
Members of the Fauquier County School Board voted unanimously Monday night to give every permanent full-time and part-time employee a bonus of $1,000 (net pay after taxes).

The total cost of the payout will be $2,849,845.

COVID-19 snapshot Tuesday, Nov. 10
New cases of coronavirus
Virginia: 1,435 Tuesday; 194,912 to date Fauquier: 19 Tuesday; 1,182 cases to date Perspective: The seven-day average of new cases in the state is 1,462, the highest it has ever been. New case numbers topped 1,000 18 times in October and 10 out of 10 days in November. In September the 1,000-case-per-day milestone was reached nine times. Fauquier has only recorded 19 or more cases in one day twice before, once in May and once in August.
Seven-day positivity average (total PCR tests vs. positive tests)
Virginia: 6.2% RRHD: 5.6% Perspective: In Virginia the percent positivity remained between 4.5% and 5.1% since Sept. 24 but since then has been rising. In the RRHD, the rate was as high as 6.6% on Oct. 21.
Hospitalizations
Virginia: 13,183 Fauquier: 59 Perspective: In Fauquier, there were 11 hospitalizations each month in April and May, six in June, seven in July, three in August, 10 in September, 10 in October and three in November.
Deaths
Virginia: 3,726 Fauquier: 27
Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | November 11, 2020
Perspective: Fauquier County lost 16 residents to COVID-19 in September. Fifteen were from an outbreak at the Brookside Rehab and Nursing Center in Warrenton. The nursing home reported 95 positive cases, according to VDH data released Monday. One of two Fauquier County deaths in October, reported Oct. 19, was also attributed to the Brookside outbreak. That outbreak is classified as “pending closure.”
Outbreaks
Virginia: 1,365 total (514 outbreaks in long-term care settings -- resulting in 13,354cases and 1,824 deaths – 513 outbreaks in congregate care settings, 102 in health care settings and 79 in correctional facilities, 67 in childcare settings, 43 in colleges or universities and 47 in K-12 facilities). RRHD: 19 total (seven in long-term care settings, two in K-12 setting, seven in congregate settings, two in a correctional setting and one in a health care setting); 564 cases have resulted from the 19 outbreaks. Fauquier: At least one in a longterm care setting (95 cases and 16 deaths) and at least one, possibly two, in an educational setting. Perspective: Perhaps accounting for the most recent outbreak in a K-12 setting, Highland School in Warrenton confirmed that 12 students have tested positive for COVID-19. Highland’s Upper School has been utilizing its distance learning platform since Oct. 30. Lower and Middle Schools continue to be on campus for a five-day week.
LEGAL NOTICES
Fewer jobless Virginia, Fauquier residents filing unemployment insurance claims By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
The number of Virginia residents receiving unemployment insurance benefits has steadily declined since the beginning of August, and the same is true for Fauquier County. Last week, the number of Virginia and Fauquier residents filing claims fell to its lowest level since March 21. However, results of the monthly employment survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in September – the most recent state-level data from the agency -showed that many unemployed Virginians may no longer be receiving benefits despite having yet to find work after mass layoffs began in March. The BLS survey is a much more precise way to measure unemployment, since the results come from a representative sample of live interviews instead of relying on the number of unemployment insurance claims. The federal survey is the basis for calculating the official unemployment rates for the U.S., states and localities. Claims data is released weekly, while BLS data is released the

month following the survey period – making it less useful data amid a fast-moving economic situation. For most of the pandemic, the two measures of unemployment have mostly mirrored one another in both Fauquier County and Virginia as a whole, with the number of unemployment insurance claims as a percentage of the labor force roughly matching official unemployment rates. But in September, that was no longer the case. Unemployment rates in September were essentially unchanged from the previous month; Virginia’s unemployment rate rose slightly to 6.2% from 6.1%, and in Fauquier County the rate changed from 4.4% in August to 4.2% in September. During that same time period, however, the number of claims filed each week steadily declined. An average of 4.5% of Virginia’s labor force (as measured in March) filed a claim each week of September, 1.7 points lower than the unemployment rate. In Fauquier County, an average of 2.8% of the county’s labor force filed claims each week during September, 1.6 points less than the offiSee UNEMPLOYMENT, page 22

Town Council will vote on whether to hold Warrenton Christmas events Warrenton town officials have begun planning the events that take place every year in the weeks before Christmas. Although modified to better mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus, the town calendar this year could still include popular events like a parade and GumDrop Square. More details about the events were discussed Tuesday at a town council meeting. The council must vote on whether to move ahead with the parade and Gumdrop Square plans. A “reverse” Christmas parade is being planned for Warrenton’s Main Street from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4. Instead of processing down Main Street, about 30 floats would be parked in one lane on the street and vehicles would be able to file past the floats in the opposite lane. If more floats are expected, the lineup could be extended east to Clay Street to accommodate more trailers. GumDrop Square, a popular annual event for kids to meet Santa Claus and shop for presents, could also go ahead in a modified form. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on four Saturdays before Christmas – Nov. 28, Dec. 5, Dec. 12 and Dec. 19 – Santa would be at the Gloria Faye Dingus Center for the Arts at 92 Main St.
Bealeton holiday parade set for Saturday, Dec. 5
The Warrenton Christmas Parade, if it is held this year, will look very different than last year’s celebration, which may have attracted up to 7,000 visitors to Old Town.
The Bealeton Holiday Parade will take place on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 1 p.m. Participants can go to https:// www.bealetonvillagecenter.com to register. Information about trophies, sponsors and route information is also available on the website. “We are aware of the public health situation regarding COVID and are committed to ensure the health and safety of those participating and watching the parade,” the parade committee said in an email. “We are monitoring the conditions and evaluating the best possible options.” For updates, visit www.bealetonvillagecenter.com. “If you are feeling sick, we ask you to stay home,” the committee

Waterloo Street residents share ideas at community meeting Nov. 7 By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
Warrenton Police Chief Mike Kochis wrote a summons to a motorist for reckless driving while he was participating in a community meeting Saturday about how to decrease driver speed and enhance safety on the roadway. The meeting, hosted by town officials, brought about 50 people to the corner of Chestnut and Waterloo streets; they were interested in learning about and expressing their opinions on the problem. 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

Several citizens said that they believe one of the big contributors to drivers failing to adhere to the speed limit (25 mph) is a lack of enforcement. Tim Brown said, “This is a residential street that

become a thoroughfare. If we step up law enforcement on this road, soon the word will get out. People will get the point.” Kochis said that there has been enhanced enforcement on Waterloo Street since Aug. 22, Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and noon. The average speed noted by officers was between 30 to 32 mph, he said. “It has served as a high visibility deterrent while staff collectively worked on solutions to bring to the residents and council.” He reported that from July through September, there were 20 traffic stops, resulting in 12 citations and eight warnings, given by Warrenton police officers. He added that there have been five nonreportable traffic accidents since the beginning of the year on Waterloo; one reportable crash (a reportable vehicle crash as any crash with an estimated damage of over $1,500 or any collision involving an injury or death); and no crashes that resulted in injuries.

Two-thirds of Fauquier students return to in-person learning BACK TO SCHOOL, from page 1 watching classes online two days per week via a classroom livestream. “The first day back was really good!” said FHS senior Emma Carter after school ended. She was part of the “A” group that will attend school in person Mondays and Tuesdays. “I think the staff is doing a really good job keeping us safe. It feels weird but great to be back in school. It is really nice to be able to see the teachers and staff. I enjoyed seeing my friends again and being able to socialize.” T.J. Brook, also a senior, attended classes in person on Monday as well. “Regardless of all the restrictions, the teachers and students managed to make the best out of these complicated circumstances,” he said. “I personally felt very safe to be back since everybody in the building followed the mandatory precautions. It feels so good to be back since it’s putting us all one step closer to a normal lifestyle.” Senior Kara Johnson was pleasantly surprised by the experience on the first day back in the building. “I kind of doubted my decision of going back, as teachers told me what to expect. But it wasn’t as bad as they made it sound,” she said. “As the day went on, it felt kind of normal. And being able to talk to actual people made it feel [normal].” Grayson Kramer, a junior at FHS, felt that being physically present in classrooms helped him academically. “I feel more confident in my learning in school than I did virtually,” he said. “It was more productive and keeps you focused and ready to learn.” FHS senior Austin Fernandez was more skeptical. “The first day back went decently OK, although it didn’t feel like school in the slightest bit. I was in the classroom but doing assignments on a computer far away from other students,” he explained. “It’s a nice idea, but with all the rules and having to stay a certain length again from people and less than half the kids being in school, it’s not that great. After the first day I’m contemplating whether or not it’s worth it to come in [to the school building] and maybe switching back to all virtual learning.” FHS senior Anna Lanning Wright
BONUS, from page 1 Superintendent of Schools David Jeck offered the proposal, saying that the pandemic had forced the school division to abandon its compensation plan and freeze salaries. “We have asked folks to do a lot and we are going to have to continue to ask them to do more.” He added, “What we have been able to do in the last six to eight months ordinarily would have taken years … switching to virtual learning, turning on a dime, and now, bringing kids back into the classrooms. We’d never have been able to do it without our people, especially our teaching staff.” The bonuses were possible, Jeck said, because of COVID-related grants and reimbursements from the state and federal government. Some funds had been reserved by the school board and approved as part of carryover to assist with COVID-19 related needs. Since then, the school board has been awarded grant revenues (CARES Act, Community Reinvestment Fund, etc.) that can cover these expenses, totaling $1,297,281. Other projected savings or deferrals in the school budget – money that didn’t have to be spent because students were not in the schools – added up to $1,552,364.

Monday on how and when to log in to her various classes from home, she said, and her daily and weekly school routine have changed just as she felt she was getting into a rhythm this year. “I wish they would have just waited, maybe until next semester or next fall, to try to get things more back to normal.” Keely Crane, a student at Liberty High School, also opted to continue learning virtually through the end of the semester. She said her “first day” was just a continuation of online school. “I had a smooth experience. Everything was done exactly the same, but only an hour earlier … All my teachers were great about including us in the discussion and honestly, it felt like every other previous online learning day I have had before. … My first day went as well as it could have.” One major obstacle to having students back in classrooms has been transportation. David Graham, executive director for administration and planning, said the school division is still short on bus drivers. Because the Department of Motor Vehicles is currently closed, some new drivers have not been able to get certified yet, adding to the problem. And he added, “Even on a great year, we’re always five to six drivers short.” Graham said he had 21 fewer drivers than he needed as transportation was making final plans, but the transportation department worked to com-
bine routes. “We looked at runs that had four or five kids and combined those routes with nearby neighborhoods. Some routes may be five to seven minutes longer, but we made it work.” He said that he thought 14 to 16 routes had been combined. Meagan Tyler Shreve’s daughter, Ella, is in fourth grade at Brumfield Elementary. Shreve is one of many parents who drove her child to school Monday. She reported, “This morning’s return was different, to say the least. I am used to walking my daughter to class every morning and was disappointed to find out I couldn’t do that. She had a lot of supplies to carry through those halls by herself but she did it! And we completely understand the reasons why. “Brumfield handled the transition smoothly … The staff was kind to the parents who made wrong turns in the parking lot, they adjusted and kept things moving. I forgot to give my daughter her water bottle (no drinking fountains at the moment), and when I returned to the school [with the water bottle] they knew exactly which child was mine and which classroom to take it to… “My daughter came home happy! She enjoyed seeing her friends again in ‘real life,’ as she says … She said it was different, but she wants to keep going back. “All in all, we applaud Fauquier County’s efforts. They haven’t had easy decisions to make and they are doing everything they can to appease every family individually. Bravo!” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Waterloo Bridge rehabilitation ‘months ahead of schedule’ By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
The $3.6 million rehabilitation of the 1878 Waterloo Bridge, one of the oldest metal bridges in Virginia, is “months ahead of schedule,” according to Virginia Department of Transportation representative Lou Hatter. The one-way bridge spans the Rappahannock River at Va. 613, between Fauquier and Culpeper counties. It was closed to traffic in 2014 because of its deteriorating condition. The rehabilitation project was scheduled to end April 2021, but Hatter said the project is on track to be completed earlier. Maryland-based Corman Kokosing Construction Company began rehabilitation work on the bridge and the underlying structures earlier this
Zoning appeals board grants special permit for church construction near Opal Truth Baptist Church, an independent evangelical congregation based in Opal, has been granted a special permit to build a permanent church building on a 6-acre parcel at the corner of Covingtons Corner Road and Marsh Road. The church is currently holding weekly outdoor services on the vacant property. On Nov. 5, members of the Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously to allow a 7,500-squarefoot church building on the site. The church required a special permit to build on the property because the land is currently zoned Rural Agricultural. Under the terms of the special permit, shrubbery and evergreen trees must be planted around the property to screen the view from the roads, and lights in the parking lot must be no higher than 14 feet. The church will be permitted to conduct special events outside of Sunday morning and Wednesday evening service times, but all events must be finished by 10 p.m. About 80 people attend Sunday services currently, according to the staff report, and about 40 people attend a service on Wednesday evenings at a private home in Sumerduck. The new church building will be able to accommodate 199 people.

On Thursday, the metal truss was lifted by a crane back into position after being removed for repairs.

A bridge built across the same expanse as the current bridge was destroyed during the Civil War; the current bridge replaced it. The current bridge was the oldest metal truss bridge still in service in Virginia when it was closed in 2014.
The rehabilitation project came after a campaign led by the Piedmont Environmental Council, urging state and local officials to preserve the structure. Although Fauquier and Culpeper supervisors declined to allocate local funds for the project, Russell Hitt, chairman of Falls Churchbased Hitt Contracting, made a $1 million donation toward the rehabilitation. The remaining funds came from state sources.

Pastor’s son fought for freedom in three wars Now 95 years old, veteran lives twilight years on Delaplane farm By Aimée O’Grady
Special to the Fauquier Times
Joseph Lowell Wood was born on March 15, 1925, in Lubbock, Texas. He was one of five siblings and grew up with four half-sisters from his father’s first wife, who died of the Spanish flu. “My father was just a guy in a cotton patch,” Wood said. On Sundays he would attend church; his interest in sermons led to a life of pastoring. “He continued being a pastor throughout my military career,” said Wood. At only 17 years old, Wood could not wait to join the U.S. Army. “I wasn’t 18 and they wouldn’t talk to me,” he said. He went to college for one year and then enlisted in the Army as World War II approached. “They sent me to the Army Navy Hospital in Arkansas where I spent a year and then I went to Camp Barkeley, Texas, for medical training,” said Wood. After medic training, Wood was sent overseas in 1944 by way of the Panama Canal and around to San Jose, California. “The first action I saw was in New Guinea. I was with a replacement outfit and they didn’t have room for us, so we stayed on deck.” Wood was with the 25th Division; he would remain with them until the end of the war. “We were on the ship when they dropped the big one on Nagasaki [on Aug. 9, 1945],” said Wood. “We

stayed on that ship for 60 days packing ammo, tanks and gasoline. We all knew what would happen if our ship was hit by fire.” At the end of World War II, Wood recalled the USS Missouri being fitted for the Japanese Instrument of Surrender in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945. “They worked on the ship for days, building platforms for personnel to stand on. You wouldn’t even have recognized it.” Wood was not among the military personnel invited to attend the treaty signing but recalls the radio and television broadcasts that aired. “We had all that set up for us. It was quite a day. People were up all night working on it. There were a lot of people on that ship together that hated each

Volunteers place flags at the graves of military veterans Saturday morning
Local volunteers, including members of area scout groups and Warrenton firefighters, laid U.S. flags at the graves of more than 850 U.S. and Confederate military veterans Saturday at Warrenton Cemetery. The “flags in project” was organized by American Legion Post 72 (Warrenton) in honor of the upcoming Veterans Day holiday on Nov. 11. About 100 volunteers were assigned sections of the cemetery in small groups Saturday morning and worked to find the headstones of identified veterans. “In a week where everyone is all stirred up, our community remains respectful, patriotic and reverent,” said event organizer Lulu Baer. The flags will remain in place until Nov. 21, when they will be collected by volunteers to be used next year.
LFCC honoring service members in virtual Veterans Day celebration
Lord Fairfax Community College will pay tribute to veterans on Wednesday, Nov. 11, with an online Veterans Day ceremony. The Zoom event will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will feature a video honoring veterans and their families. Some of LFCC’s veterans, including biology instructor Jerome “Butch” Austin, LFCC Police Officer Brian Higgins, alumnus Jobe Wood and student Erich Galaviz, will share their personal stories and memories of their time in the service, according to an LFCC news release.

WOODS, from page 6 through Panama and made our way around to San Francisco; that must have taken 40 days,” Wood recalled. “I was web-footed, I was on that ship for so long,” he added. While serving in Korea, Wood met a fellow infantryman named James Bumgarner, who would later change his last name to Garner. Over the course of their service in Korea, they became friends. “Garner was a good man,” said Wood. “I could tell you stories about him.” The two infantrymen shared a state room together on their return trip home following the war. “He asked me to go out to Hollywood with him and become an actor,” said Wood. “But I told him to go on, I was staying in.” Garner did go to Hollywood where he found success as an actor. Wood and Garner remained friends until Garner died in 2014. Wood served two tours in Vietnam as well. “I was in Vietnam for
131 days,” he said. Near the end of the Vietnam War, Wood was part of the of the cleanout crew responsible for destroying American intelligence. He was ordered to leave nothing behind of importance. On the wall hung a Budweiser beer poster of the iconic Clydesdale horses and wagon. While under fire from Viet Cong, Wood went back in to pull the poster from the wall, “They aren’t getting it,” he said. It hung on the wall of Wood’s barn for 30 years. Today, his close friend Clyde Simpson has the poster hanging in his home. Wood recalled his own personal day from hell. What he described as his worst day in Vietnam was the day they lost three helicopters. They also lost two pilots and three other men who were killed, execution-style, by Viet Cong. “We were instructed to do the helicopters in if they were hit,” said Wood of the white phosphorus that hung in every helicopter. “We always gave it a wide berth.” White phos-

phorus is pyrophoric and self-ignites on contact with air. A chopper was hit, and the pilot fumbled the white phosphorous. “He dropped it and got white phosphorous on himself.” Highly flammable, the pilot went up in flames. Wood’s helicopter was still 5 feet off the ground when he jumped from it with nothing more than a fire extinguisher to help the burning pilot, who was engulfed in flames. The scene remained under heavy Viet Cong fire. Wood reached the pilot and began to roll him on the ground. “When I finally got him in the helicopter, I kept working with the fire extinguisher on him. I would have him wrapped up and when I unwrapped him, he would begin to smoke again,” said Wood who continued to douse the pilot with antifreeze. Wood’s men covered him while he worked on the pilot. “That was my worst day in Vietnam. We sure didn’t deserve what we got that day,” said Wood. The pilot Wood saved was treat-

Wood served a total of 33 years in the military and begged to stay in. “They wouldn’t let me,” he said. He went on to manage the Virginia Army National Guard recruitment office in Warrenton. Today, Wood lives at his home of more than 40 years in Delaplane. The historic home is as steeped in history as its occupant. He rests among the antique colonial pieces acquired throughout the years.

Throughout this time, he continued to verbally comfort and encourage the pilot motivating him to ‘hang in there.’ “Lt. Col. Wood’s bravery, extraordinary heroism, and selfless acts of compassion unquestionably saved the American pilot’s life. Lt. Col. Wood’s actions were in keeping with highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon him, his unit and the United States Army.”

Fauquier voters support Republicans by wide margins By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
A Republican hasn’t won a statewide election in Virginia since 2009, but Fauquier County voters remain a solid source of support for GOP candidates; no Democratic presidential candidate has received a majority of votes in Fauquier County since 1964. In total, 43,661 county residents – accounting for 80.3% of registered voters -- cast ballots in the 2020 presidential election, with 57.5% of voters choosing Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Joe Biden, who garnered 40.2% of the vote in Fauquier County. Absentee ballots accounted for 65% of all votes by county residents, with the remaining votes cast at precinct polling places on Election Day. Fauquier voters’ support for the Republican candidate was roughly the same in the U.S. Senate race. Although incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Warner defeated Republican challenger Daniel Gade 56% to 44% statewide, in Fauquier County Gade received 59% of votes to Warner’s 41%. And, despite a nationally publicized rift between supporters of incumbent 5th District Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman and Bob Good, who won the Republican nomination for the seat in a hotly contested convention, Fauquier voters nevertheless toed the party line. Good received 58% of the vote among voters living in the areas of Fauquier County that are part of that congressional district; his opponent, Democrat Cameron Webb, received 42%. In the rural and deeply conservative parts of southern Fauquier County that are part of the 1st Congressional District, Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman gained 71% of votes to the 29% received by Democratic candidate Qasim Rashid. (Additional tabulations from the 2020 general election were released by the Fauquier County registrar’s office over the weekend, accounting for the 191 ballots received by mail
after Election Day and 190 provisional ballots. However, results were certified by the electoral board Tuesday after press time, so the certified numbers may change slightly.)
Long-term trends show consistent support for Republican presidential candidates
Although Biden’s share of Fauquier votes was more than five points higher than Hillary Clinton’s performance in 2016, Trump’s percentage dropped only 1.6 points, indicating specifically a lack of support for Clinton among Democratic voters in 2016 (third party candidates received 5.5% of Fauquier votes in 2016), rather than a significant leftward shift among county residents this year. While each party’s share of votes fluctuates somewhat in each election – Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine,
for instance, received 55% of county residents’ votes in 2008 -- long-term trends show few signs of movement away from supporting GOP candidates regardless of the specific names on the ballot, especially in presidential elections. Despite the county’s growth in population, especially during the pre-2008 housing boom, demographic shifts have done little to move the needle away from Republican presidential candidates in the long run. For example, despite a population increase of 24% between 2000 and 2016, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Democrat Hillary Clinton received about the same proportion of Fauquier residents’ votes – 34.6% -- in 2016 as the 35.3% Al Gore received in 2000. The split is roughly the same on the Republican side, with Trump receiving 59.1% in 2016 compared to 61.6% for George W. Bush in 2000.
Going back to 1996, a Democratic presidential candidate has not received support from more than 43% of Fauquier voters, and no Republican candidate has received less than 56% support. Short-term trends match the pattern from the previous two decades. Trump, for instance, received an average of 58% of Fauquier residents’ votes in 2020 and 2016. That same percentage – 58% -- is the average share votes in Fauquier that Republican presidential candidates have received from 1996 onward. The opposite is also true. From 1996 onward, Democratic candidates have received an average of 37% of votes in Fauquier County in presidential elections. Averaged together, the share of votes in the county received by Biden in 2020 and Clinton in 2016 is also about 37%. Data from elections from Virginia House of Delegates and U.S. House of Representatives elections show slightly more willingness among Fauquier County residents to vote for Democrats than two decades ago. Then again, in the first decade of the 2000s there was often no Democratic nominee for these seats at all – in 2009, for instance, there was no Democratic nominee for either of the three House of Delegates districts of which Fauquier County was then a part. From 2001 to 2008, Democratic candidates averaged 32% support in Fauquier County in contested races for these seats. Since then, Democratic candidates for U.S. and state houses have averaged 34% of votes and have only once – in 2018 – risen to more than 40%. At least in the short term, that 41% in 2018 represents a peak for Democrats in Fauquier County. In 2019, Democrats in the three House of Delegates districts that include Fauquier received just 37% of votes. This year, Democrats’ share was again below 40%, with U.S. congressional candidates Webb and Rashid receiving a combined 39% of votes among Fauquier residents.
Waterloo Street residents share ideas at community meeting WATERLOO, from page 3 “The idea that we are not doing enforcement on Waterloo Street is factually incorrect,” said Kochis, but he added, “If the citizens do not feel safe, we are missing the mark and need to do more. The police department will take the citizens’ comments to heart and work harder to ensure the residents on Waterloo Street feel safe.” He said Saturday, “I think today’s meeting went really well. Any time we get to hear from our citizens directly is a benefit.” In addition to increased enforcement, Brown said he’d like to see vertical barriers – planters, for instance – to slow people down. He said he thinks that the hill on Waterloo Street, which crests near Fairfax Boulevard, is the key to the problem. Once people come over that hill – from either direction, but especially
heading out of town – they drive too fast coming down, he said. Denise Harris, planning director for the town, said that the fire hydrant at the top of the hill has been “taken out” several times when motorists are driving too fast or not paying attention. Resident Steve Gordon said he was in favor of temporary physical barriers. The town shouldn’t pour money into permanent structural change “as an experiment,” he said. “Once those barriers are up, they are costly to remove. Once they’re done, we’d be reluctant to take them down.” Some residents have recommended lowering the speed limit, but Chris Tiesler, principle engineer for Kittelson and Associates, said that speed limits that are artificially low for a particular roadway are not effective. The better idea, he said, is to adjust the road so that people are un-
comfortable going faster than the speed limit. While Tiesler and Harris took a walk down Waterloo with residents to see the issues up close, he spoke about controlling traffic with vertical barriers. Tiesler, who Harris describes as a traffic calming expert, said that – in addition to planters – “flexi posts” could serve as vertical visual barriers; flexi posts are flexible posts that are secured at places in the roadway to serve as visual reminders to slow down. There was also considerable discussion Saturday morning about some version of speed bumps. Most advocated for wide patches of raised street pavement to slow drivers down. Harris pointed out though, that these treatments cause a lot more noise on the road. They also create issues for slow ploughs. As Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer said, “Everything we do
has an effect. We have to decide what we can live with in order to achieve our goal.” During the walk down Waterloo Street, participants saw for themselves the sight line issues caused by the road’s current configuration; several residents lamented the loss of parking spots. For those with shared driveways and no other access to parking, it has caused significant inconvenience, they said. Resident Ryan Freidline brought up another unintended consequence of removing some of the on-street parking. He said that because there aren’t enough parking spaces in front of people’s houses, “The delivery drivers are not parking. They are just stopping in the road and throwing their flashers on. My heart jumps every time I see it.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Center for substance abuse recovery set to open in Warrenton RECOVERY, from page 1 ren Wellness location in Seekonk, Massachusetts -- the average length of stay has been a little over two months. About 67% of guests have been men, 33% women. After leaving the wellness center, about 55% of participants continue to engage with other alumni, statistics provided by Herren Wellness show. The Warrenton center is set up for 21 residents but is opening with just four. “We think it’s only fair to our staff and our first guests that we start out slow,” Herren said. Herren decided to open a center in Warrenton because of a connection he felt when he delivered motivational talks to students here. "I didn't revisit other communities as much as I returned here. The Hampton Inn became my second home" during those visits. "I felt a connection to the people of Fauquier." The PATH Foundation discussed with him the possibility of opening a center here; Herren said that when he found the 60-acre Twin Oaks location, he made up his mind to expand his footprint. The price tag for a month-long visit to Twin Oaks is $15,000. That may sound high, but Herren said that comparable facilities with similar services throughout the country charge up to $60,000 a month. He added that a person may not have $15,000 to spend, “but some families put their resources together to provide this opportunity.” And, he said, up to two community members per month will be able to qualify for a scholarship to the facility. Herren said he and his staff have

He said he has hosted guests from as young as 15 years old to senior citizens at 72. “I had a man and a woman, 71 and 72. They are my favorites. At that age, they still want to take a swing at this? That’s amazing.” About 70% of guests at the Massachusetts location have been battling alcohol addiction; the rest are trying to break free of a narcotics addiction, Herren said. All guests are medically cleared and detoxed before they join the group. All guest rooms are simply furnished with an airy country ambiance; large windows look out on wooded views. Most rooms will house two guests. There is one that can host three and there are several singles. “Sometimes older people do better in their own space,” Herren said, but for the most part, he personally
helps to match compatible roommates. “Roommates matter. They can make all the difference in the world, that mentorship.” It’s one more way for guests to establish connection, Herren said. It’s a word that permeates his conversation – connections between staff and guests, connections between guests. He said that connection to family is important too, for those struggling with substance abuse. “There is an emphasis on family. On weekends in Seekonk, we’ll have 10 or 15 kids running around all day. Kids need to see where mom or dad is. Families
need to recover along with them.” In addition to a focus on mental health and substance abuse recovery, Herren’s wellChris Herren ness center embraces physical wellness as well, he said. “We try to mirror life somewhat for our guests. We take them skiing, hiking to the beach, we play paintball. We have a running club that goes out as a group every morning, through the community’s backroads.” He said that some guests who have been at the recovery center for a while work during the week and for others, “going home on the weekends is pivotal to their recovery.” Wellness plans are individualized and families are included in the recovery process, he said. Herren explained, “It takes most people a couple of weeks to get comfortable enough to start opening up …. When they join a group where others have been here for two to four months, they seem to immediately understand that they need to hit the ground running. The people that have been here a month or two are in a very different place than when they started.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Neighbors helping neighbors Immigrant support group Just Neighbors opens Warrenton office By John Hagarty
Special to the Fauquier Times
On Nov. 9, a branch of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Just Neighbors opened its doors at 34 Beckham St. The office is housed at Saint James’ Episcopal Church, which donated space to the nonprofit organization. Founded in 1996 by pastors and attorneys of the United Methodist Church, Just Neighbors provides immigration legal services to low-income immigrants, asylees and refugees in Virginia, D.C. and Maryland. Heading up the new office is Tori Andrea Babington, an experienced nonprofit immigration attorney. Babington spent 11 years at Northern Virginia Family Service, most recently as its director of legal services. She joined Just Neighbors in October. Andrea Babington, 37, has represented clients in all forms of humanitarian and family-based immigration cases, as well as defending them against removal in immigration court. Her work includes assisting hundreds of refugees, domestic violence survivors, reuniting families, and helping new American citizens who have made the United States their home.

The meeting ID number is 977 8802 3005. Residents may call in to the meeting at 301-715-8592. Denise Harris, planning manager for the town, said at a Tuesday town council meeting that a commemorative garden will be the heart of the park. It will feature panels that tell stories of the park’s history and its namesake Eva Walker. Harris added that overwhelmingly, residents have said they wanted to make sure that both active activities – (like walking and playing) and passive activities (chances to gather and socialize) were supported. Two designs that will be presented Thursday night will keep intact the current playground, pavilion and restrooms and both would add a second basketball court, large lawn area and a sledding hill. Alternative one includes a splash pad and a stage with a canopy as well as a natural amphitheater.
for cases in Fauquier County and the Northern Piedmont, and eventually, the entirety of rural Virginia. She resides in Warrenton with her family. "I am really excited to be able to practice in my community," said Andrea Babington. "Folks who are living in the Piedmont region will now be able to have access to a nonprofit immigration attorney to help them apply for immigration benefits, without having to travel into Northern Virginia." Assistance is provided for cases such as protection for domestic violence survivors, victims of violent crimes, human trafficking, Dreamers (children brought to the U.S. and identify as Americans), immigrants afraid to return to their home country and similar legal issues. Just Neighbors has a one-time $100 consult fee. After that, all services are provided free. There is an income limit of under $50,000 for a family of four to be eligible for its services. The organization has three funding sources. A third comes from its foundation, a third from individual donations and the remaining from grants. Tax dollars do not support the institution. Initially, the new office will focus on five different areas: Fauquier County, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Lynchburg and the Eastern Shore. Changes in immigration law and policy can influence the level of activity in the office. “There could be a chance a new Dream Act is enacted that would make the current temporary pro-

tections a permanent status. If that were to happen, we would prioritize our efforts to people who are eligible and assist them with their applications,” said AnTORI ANDREA drea Babington. BABINGTON Some people question if undocumented persons should receive services to support their efforts to reside in the U.S. Dominique Poirier is the director of legal services at Just Neighbors’ main office in Annandale. She has a unique way of helping to understand why such support is essential. Poirier cites as an example her children, who studied for their driver’s licenses but never followed through with obtaining the actual permit. Mom was taking them everywhere, so the incentive was not there. “I like to compare my kids with undocumented folks because they often have already qualified themselves for immigration benefits, but they don’t know how or can’t afford to pay the attorney fees to complete the application process," said Poirier. “When we work with the undocumented, we are allowing them to obtain the benefits for which they are already eligible. They have just not gone through the process of making it legal. “Of course, there are a certain group of people who don’t qual-
ify for anything, and we can't help them.” Initial activity in the Warrenton office of Just Neighbors will be reaching out to other nonprofits in the area, social services agencies and other organizations that see immigrants in a different capacity. “We want to make sure those groups know we are here, and they can refer their clients to us when needed,” said Andrea Babington. “This helps us become part of the local nonprofit community. Also, as people use our services, there will be a lot of word of mouth promotion.” Currently, the Beckham Street office is not seeing clients in person because of COVID-19. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but most client work is done by phone, Zoom, WhatsApp or whatever offsite format a client is comfortable using. There are unique times when Andrea Babington may meet with a client in person to review personal documents or sign paperwork. And in cases where a client has had a traumatic experience and it may not be feasible to work with them remotely. “We are very excited to have Tori onboard in Warrenton because we needed somebody to reach out to people in rural Virginia that are not well served today. It’s also great to have somebody that is part of the local community,” said Poirier.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Is this national mess where we want Virginia to go? It was easy to predict the mess in which the country now finds itself with regards to the vote. I urge patience by all for the counting of all legal ballots and settlement of court challenges. In Virginia we are much better off – so far – but we can do even better in the future with changes. In Fauquier, we are blessed with great people overseeing the election in a transparent system. I was witness to the problem at Kettle Run where the incorrect ballot was used for the first 30 voters, resulting in the need to invalidate those and the herculean effort by our election staff and the sheriff’s office to locate those voters and give them the chance, inconvenient as it was, to return and vote again. The problem was
resolved in minutes – not hours! Our election laws are designed for fairness for citizens and orderliness. Observers are permitted throughout the process. People need to be registered 21 days before the election to give the officials time to check and prepare (legality and orderliness). People must request absentee ballots. This fall when I was going door-to-door for our candidates, I was surprised at the amount of bad information in the voter database that we use (a third-party voter database). It shows current residents, but also in some cases, the last three residents. What if someone received unsolicited ballots and submitted votes for all? I hope to take

my data collected and see what the actual state voter database says about these homes. Can we do better? A chink in the armor is the new change not requiring photo ID. That was so easy, inconvenienced few, and gave citizens confidence in the process. Let’s bring that back. Let’s also do extensive review of the “no excuse” absentee ballot process used this year to make sure it was not abused. But still, ballots should be dropped off, eliminating a possibility of mail fraud. And ballots should be submitted a few days before the election, allowing quicker results. We likely will see the need for reform soon as the days unfold.
Citizens’ power to limit politicians’ terms is provided through the ballot box
I would like to reply to Robert Wright's letter in the Oct. 28 edition of the Times regarding the implementation of term limits on all elected officials [The time has come to institute term limits for all elected officials”]. The simplicity of the idea has some appeal on a surface level, but once you look much beyond the surface, the appeal quickly wanes. First, I would caution you to beware of simple solutions; they often lead to complex problems. Having a bit of first-hand experience in the governmental process is, in my opinion, useful. A complete neophyte needs to learn the ropes and the nuances on my dime. This leads to an increased inefficiency in the entire governmental process. Goodness knows that governmental processes are sufficiently inefficient already; I do not feel we need to actively contribute to that inefficiency. Experience is a useful thing. Otherwise, that experience comes from lobbyists who have been around long enough to know where all of the ropes are. I suggest that trying to term limit lobbyists would be a futile exercise. Second, look at where term limits have been implemented already. Since just after the [American] Revolution, governors of Virginia have been prohibited from succeeding themselves. There are times where I am pleased with that prohibition, but more often than not, a second term seems to me like it would be a good thing. In a number of the local counties where term limits have been implemented, voters are finding that they now have county boards containing individuals who do not always work TRAY ALLEN and play well with others. These Chairman, fringe individuals had previously Experience Old Town Warrenton been held at bay by incumbents. They are now free to roam about and create havoc with my tax dollars.

We also strive to promote a rich and appealing atmosphere in which to live, play and do business. In the past two years, we have made fantastic progress in each of these areas. In 2019, our First Friday events from May through October attracted thousands of guests to Main Street, where they enjoyed live music, a beer garden and vendors, and then stayed to patronize shops and restaurants. From April through November, the weekly farmers market featured hundreds of people picking up farm-fresh and homemade products from dozens of local vendors. GumDrop Square, our longtime and beloved Christmas tradition, brought in visitors of all ages during the holiday season. New events, including the “Leap Year .5K,” a Cookie Crawl, a “Find Your Heart in Old Town Warrenton” scavenger hunt, a Nutcracker Tea, and others, all of which increased the number of visitors to town are sure to become annual traditions. Things were rolling! Our events were hugely popular, fundraising efforts were gaining traction and we had other ideas and plans that were keeping us on the path to fulfilling our mission. The pandemic hit suddenly, and we are all too familiar with the results. Many businesses shut down completely. Others remained open but had to severely curtail their services. Stay-at-home orders eliminated the possibility of large gatherings. Experience Old Town
Warrenton quickly and effectively shifted from creating and reveling in town opportunities to finding ways to keep its businesses alive. Luckily, neither our dedication nor creativity waned. We banded together to support businesses offering curbside pickup. We applied for and received community and state grants, launched our own microgrant program and distributed funds to businesses in need. When the state began to reopen, we created a host of parklets on Main Street and side streets to allow for outdoor dining experiences. Now, we need your help. We are a nonprofit organization and, while we are fortunate to have the great support of the town, PATH Foundation, Northern Piedmont Community Foundation and others, we rely greatly on our events to support our less visible but equally important activities behind the scenes. With the future of these events uncertain, we need your support now, more than ever. We long for the days when we can all come together again and celebrate in our fabulous streets. When that day comes, with your help, EOTW will be here and stronger than ever to bring our events back to life. Together we will #KeepOldTownCharming for years to come.

had to learn it for yourself. I would suggest you have always had the power to implement term limits but perhaps need to fully learn you have that power. Your power is at the ballot box. You have a perfect right to vote against anyone you feel has been in office for too long. Speaking personally, how long someone has been in office has always been one of the factors that enter into my calculus when I vote. The longer they have been serving, the better they need to convince me that they are still the proper person for the job. Some people last a single term before I make that decision; others stay longer. If you feel someone has been in office too long, I might suggest you actively work for their opposition. That tends to send a fairly obvious message to a candidate that perhaps they are becoming like old fish, (i.e. becoming something with a strong odor that needs to be disposed of). If you don't want to work for the opposition directly, perhaps you could send a monetary contribution to the opposition with a note to the original officeholder telling them that you are implementing your own version of term limits. You speak of the desire for "fresh thinking/ideas." I would gently inquire as to what you have done to ensure that the elected officials are exposed to new ideas. And by that I mean both newly elected persons and those who have been in office for a while. If officials do not hear from us, they will rely on people who make it their business to educate them. Bottom line, it is our responsibility to educate the officials. If we do not do so, it is our fault, not the fault of the official or a reflection of how long this person has been in office. In summary, I quote H.L. Menken. "There is always an easy solution to every problem -- neat, plausible, and wrong." I believe statutory term limits fits right into what Menken meant.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION OF ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION FACILITIES: PARTIAL LINE #2010 230 KV SINGLE CIRCUIT TRANSMISSION LINE UNDERGROUND PILOT PROJECT (TYSONS-FUTURE SPRING HILL SUBSTATION) CASE NO. PUR-2020-00198
ADVERTISEMENT
On September 29, 2020, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia ("Dominion" or "Company") filed with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") an application for approval and certification of electric transmission facilities ("Application") in Fairfax County, Virginia. Dominion filed its Application pursuant to ยง 56-585.1:5 and ยง 56-46.1 of the Code of Virginia ("Code") and the Utility Facilities Act, Code ยง 56-265.1 et seq. Through its Application, the Company proposes: (1) to remove an approximate 0.56 mile segment of its existing overhead 230 kilovolt ("kV") Reston-Tysons Line #2010 from the Tysons Substation to just south of the site for the future Spring Hill Substation and to relocate and replace the line underground; (2) to complete work at the Tysons Substation to allow this segment of Line #2010 to be relocated underground; and (3) to construct a transition pole just south of the future Spring Hill Substation to transition Line #2010 from an underground line to an overhead line (collectively, "Project"). Dominion states that the Project is necessary to support economic development priorities of the Commonwealth, including the economic development priorities and the Comprehensive Plan of Fairfax County, Virginia. The Company requests that the Project be approved by the Commission as a project that qualifies as a line to be placed underground, in part, because the Project meets all of the statutory requirements set forth in Code ยง 56-585.1:5 D for the Underground Pilot Program. Dominion represents that pursuant to Code ยง 56-585.1:5 D, Fairfax County has adopted a resolution in support of the Project and requested that the Company relocate and convert a portion of Transmission Line #2010 between the Tysons Substation and the future Spring Hill Substation from overhead to underground to facilitate the construction of a large planned mixeduse development, named "The View," that supports the economic development priorities and Comprehensive Plan of Fairfax County.
approximately $0.70 million for overhead transmission line-related work, and approximately $7.10 million for substation-related work.
The Proposed Route consists of approximately 0.58 mile of variable width right-of-way along existing Line #2010 between Tysons Substation and just south of the future Spring Hill Substation site. It largely will be on existing Company owned right-of-way and deviates for approximately 0.10 mile to accommodate the future site of The View development. The Line will exit the existing Tysons Substation across Tyco Road via VDOT permit and continue southwest for approximately 0.20 mile on existing 42-foot right-of-way. Temporary construction easements will be needed along this segment as will a VDOT permit. At this point, The Company states that the desired in-service date for this project is December the Line will depart from the existing right-of-way and turn south within a private 31, 2025. The Company represents that the estimated conceptual cost of service road for approximately 0.05 mile on a newly acquired 30-foot easement the Project (in 2020 dollars) is approximately $30.4 million, which includes until it reaches Spring Hill Road (Route 684). Temporary construction easement approximately $22.6 million for underground transmission line-related work, will be required along this segment. At Spring Hill Road, the Line will turn west

within Spring Hill Road for approximately 0.05 mile via a VDOT permit until it reaches Leesburg Pike (Route 7). These two 0.05 mile sections of the Line are being relocated outside of the existing right-of-way to accommodate The View, a future development. At Leesburg Pike, the Line turns southwest crossing under the elevated Metro Train Line and crossing Leesburg Pike via a VDOT permit for approximately 0.05 mile and then continues on existing 42-foot right-of-way for approximately 0.14 mile where it turns southeast and goes around the east side of the future Spring Hill Substation site within existing easement and the future Substation parcel. Temporary construction easements will be required along this segment. Just south of the future Spring Hill Substation parcel, the Line continues on existing 42-foot right-of-way to terminate at a Transition Pole. For purposes of this Project, the Company intends to build a Transition Pole just south of the location where the Company plans to construct the future Spring Hill Substation. The Transition Pole will be approximately 140 feet tall, subject to final engineering. The Company also intends to replace the existing Structure #2010/12 located south of the future Spring Hill Substation and the Transition Pole. The existing approximately 61-foot Structure #2010/12 will be replaced with an approximately 90-foot structure, subject to final engineering.

ACTION! HERE COME THE CAMERAS High schools gear up to livestream sports events
Local high school events in gyms and stadiums will be livestreamed on the National Federation of State High School Association’s network this season, offering a solution to watching games during the pandemic when crowds are restricted to 250. Cameras already exist at gyms and stadiums in Prince William County and are being installed at Fauquier County’s three high schools.
By Peter Brewington and Fred Hodge Times Staff Writers
The streaming of live high school sports events became a trendy idea several years ago with many schools installing cameras and making the option available. Now, in the time of COVID-19, it could be the answer to watching games safely. In Prince William County, high-quality digital cameras were installed at high school fields and gyms within the last two years.

years, the schools will get a share of the revenue generated by subscriptions. Monthly subscriptions are $10.99 for viewers and may be canceled at any time. A yearly rate of $69.99 ($5.83 monthly) also is available. “I think this is going to be a great thing,” Ott said. “It’s going to benefit people out of state or area who never get to see their grandkids or family members play.” Once completed each contest will be archived and available for view at any time. Ott said schools also may sell up to three ads that will scroll at the bottom of the screen during the contest. Each school will input schedules and start times into the NFHS’ system. After calibration, broadcasting begins automatically. Ott received an email Friday requesting an appointment to install the digital Pixellot Prime cameras at Fauquier. One camera will be in the gymnasium to cover basketball, volleyball, wrestling and cheer competitions. The second will be in the football stadium to stream football, lacrosse, field hockey and soccer. Track meets also will be available, except at Liberty because the Eagle track lies outside of the stadium. Unity Reed’s Turner said the thought behind streaming was to beam games to relatives in other areas, and his parents have not used it locally. “It was originally installed for folks with family members not nearby. If you lived in Phoenix or New York you could watch a kid play basketball or volleyball. Some schools have taken advantage of it, but none of our parents have,” Turner said. Due to major gym construction, Unity Reed’s gym camera is currently disabled. “I’m not sure if it will be repaired for our schedule, but if it is, yes, we can livestream,” he said.
Pandemic rules will really change lacrosse All sports affected, some more than others By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
With winter sports set to start next month, coaches are weighing in on pandemic-related rules restrictions that will force noticeable changes. In short, some sports might look a little strange, especially lacrosse. In boys lacrosse, faceoffs are being eliminated. After a goal, the team scored upon gets possession at midfield. Body checks now are prohibited
and battles for loose balls will draw a quick whistle with the ball awarded on an alternating basis. The girls draw, the equivalent of the boys faceoff, also has been suspended. “When trying to find the logic in some of the recommendations, I am at a complete loss,” said Fauquier High girls lacrosse coach Ken McInnis in an email. McInnis wonders why boys lacrosse is being altered so much when there are no adjustments limiting contact in football. “At this point, since they appear to be playing by girls rules why are pads and a helmet
necessary?” McInnis asked. “Obtaining possession and going on offense and attacking the goal is what the game is all about,” he stressed. “You win 70 percent of the draws, you have much better odds of winning the game.” The Virginia High School League issued a 39-page document with new restrictions for every sport. General guidelines call for the elimination of pre-game and postgame handshakes. Emphasis also is on social distancing on sidelines and See NEW RULES, page 18

NEW RULES, from page 17 in dugouts and no sharing of water bottles. Coaches must wear masks as well as athletes not in a game. Masks must be worn while traveling to an event on school transportation. Fans should maintain a minimum of sixfoot distancing from any athletes not in their household. Basketball is suspending the game-opening jump ball, with visitors always having first possession. The ball will be sanitized at timeouts and between quarters and players will be assigned to a specific seat on the bench. Expanded seating will require the use of bleachers or staggered rows of chairs. “The game itself isn’t really go-
ing to be that different,” said Liberty boys basketball coach Pat Frazer. “Probably the biggest change for me is the fact that we don’t have a lot of time to prepare for the season. I told the guys that we are really going to try and keep it simple with them. Focus on a few things and work to get better at them.” In track, the biggest change is requiring the landing surface to be sanitized between pole vaults and high jumps. Instead, schools may use tarps to expedite the event. Fauquier has gone a step farther by ordering multiple tarps assigned to specific athletes for meets. Also in track, shot putters will have to retrieve their own implement. Wrestling sees its opening period
shortened from two minutes to one, with the second and third remaining at two minutes. That is the same format currently used for consolation round matches in tournaments. The relocated fall season starts in February. While football games basically are unchanged, volleyball is a different matter, as the usual switching of benches between sets will be suspended. Teams will play on the same side of the net for the entire match unless coaches cite an inequity. The benches still would not move. The most collective changes will occur for lacrosse and the other spring sports. Softball and baseball will share many protocols. Gum chewing, seeds or spitting are prohibited as are
high-fives and chest bumps. Players may not leave the dugout to celebrate a home run or run scored. If a pitcher touches a hand to the mouth or blows on a hand, umpires will call a no pitch. The ball then must go to the dugout to be sanitized, and the hurler must sanitize both hands before delivering another pitch. “Most of these changes are what we used with my son’s travel team,” Kettle Run baseball Ty Thorpe observed. Fauquier softball coach Erika Lamper has a simple approach to keep the protocols from being negative. “We need to focus on what we CAN do which is play ball! Not what we can’t do,” Lamper wrote in an email.

Fewer jobless Virginia, Fauquier residents filing unemployment insurance claims UNEMPLOYMENT, from page 2 cial unemployment rate. In some ways, this is a return to normal; before the pandemic, most unemployed people didn’t apply – or were not eligible -- for unemployment insurance benefits. The federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, created by Congress in March as part of the CARES Act, did much to change that dynamic during the pandemic, according Timothy Aylor, an economist with the Virginia Employment Commission. Under the federal program, self-employed and gig workers not usually eligible for unemployment benefits (because they do not pay into the system through payroll taxes) could get unemployment benefits during the pandemic. “I suspect that you had PUA and other assis-
tance that made earlier months different than now and different from other recessionary periods,” Aylor said, “Many workers who would not have been eligible for payment prior to the pandemic and PUA changes -- like gig workers, etc. -- felt encouraged to file so it was much more of a oneto-one relationship between the number of claimants and the number of residential unemployed.” That federal program doesn’t expire until the end of the year, and the CARES Act also created Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation, which extends the amount of time an individual can receive unemployment benefits. (In Virginia, individuals can normally receive up to 26 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits. The federal program extends this to 39 weeks.) However, the expiration of yet another federal
program created by the CARES Act, Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation, appears to have spurred the decline in the number of people filing for unemployment insurance benefits even as BLS data shows a greater number of people are actually unemployed. From March through July, the FPUC supplemented state unemployment insurance benefits by up to $600 per week; without the federal supplement, the maximum benefits an individual in Virginia could receive weekly was $378. When the federal program expired July 31, the number of Virginians filing weekly claims for benefits plummeted 22% in just one week. This is also the point where the number of people receiving benefits began to fall below the number of unemployed people counted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

OBITUARIES Charles Richard Brown (Charlie) Charles Richard Brown (Charlie), 84, of Warrenton, Virginia passed away peacefully on November 3, 2020 at the Adler Center for Caring in Aldie, Virginia. Born on March 24, 1936 in Baltimore, MD to the late Francis Daniel Brown and Helen Cobb Brown, Charlie grew up on the family’s farm in Salisbury, MD. After graduating from Wicomico High School in 1954, he went on to proudly serve in the United States Air Force from 1955 thru 1958. Wishing to pursue a career in Electrical Engineering that he developed over his time in the Air Force, Charlie earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Syracuse University in 1964 and his Master’s Degree from George Washington University in 1973. His engineering career started in the private sector with General Electric in Syracuse, NY from ‘59 to ’67 then Computer Sciences Corporation in Falls Church, VA from ‘67 to ’81. This was followed by a 17 year career with the Department of the Navy inside the DMV, working with Navel Electronics Systems Command from ‘81 to ‘84, Naval Sea Systems Command from ‘84 to ‘87, and finally with Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command from ‘87 until retirement in 1997. After meeting his beloved wife of almost 56 years, Jeannette I. Brown (Lussier), in 1958 while attending Syracuse University, Charlie and Jen wed in 1959 and held brief residences there, Biloxi, MS and Woodbridge, VA before settling down in 1971 to raise their 2 sons in Arlington, VA; residing there until Jen’s passing in 2015. An ardent lover of sports and the youth who played them throughout his life, he was a consistent coaching figure in Arlington’s youth football and baseball programs from the early 1970’s thru the mid 1980’s. Off the field, Charlie was a 20 year member of the Better Sports Club of Arlington; serving on the Board of Directors for 12 of those years thru 2000, and was the honored recipient of the Billy Castleberry Memorial Award in 1990 and the Arlington Sportsman of the Year Award in 1997. Although his baseball teams won several league championships under his helm, his proudest achievement was simply being called ‘Coach’ whenever former players contacted him or stopped by for a visit. Charlie’s later years were filled with following his grandsons on their fields and courts, and watching every game of his beloved Washington Nationals. Never far from his reach was a Bible. A dedicated follower of Our Lord, Charlie cherished his time in study, debate and fellowship with any man, woman or child who welcomed it. His church ‘family’ at both at Cherrydale Baptist of Arlington and here at Warrenton Baptist over these last 5 years, gave him a great deal of both enrichment and enjoyment, comforting him greatly in his final earthly days. He is survived by his two sons and their families, Lawrence (Larry) & wife Dawn of Marshall, Virginia and Thomas (Tom) & wife Deirdre of North Chesterfield, Virginia; 3 grandsons, Philip, Hunter and Ethan; a very special sister in law, Margaret Bull Brown of Salisbury, Maryland and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents and his beloved wife, Jen, he was preceded in death by his three brothers, Thomas M., Daniel F. and James J. Brown. A Memorial Service will be held at Warrenton Baptist Church, 123 Main St., Warrenton, VA, on Saturday, November 21,2020 at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Charlie’s name may be made to The Alzheimer’s Association (act.alz.org) or to Warrenton Baptist Church (warrentonbaptistchurch.org).

In Memoriam – Joyce Virginia Clatterbuck Harding Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 has witnessed the passing of a quietly great woman, Joyce Virginia Clatterbuck Harding. Born January 3rd, 1947 to Conway Otis and Doris Virginia (King) Clatterbuck in Warrenton at the old hospital (now next to Red Truck). Joyce was their only child and the apple of her father’s eye. Living on Lover’s Lane, she was fortunate to be just over the hill from her maternal grandparents, Craven and Minnie (Martin) King. Her grandfather Craven was incredibly special to her, and she ensured that his memory lived on until she herself passed. She grew up with a love for animals, having many pets – including ducks – and teaching her dog Brownie to slide down the slide. This love for animals followed her throughout and into her adult life. From fostering animals from the local SPCA, to lovingly taking in strays, to purebred animals, it didn’t matter to Joyce; they all deserved the love and compassion of a good home. From her earliest days in school and throughout her life, Joyce was gifted both intellectually and with a keen wit and sense of proper Southern lady’s vocabulary. Her scholastic career was as successful as all things she would endeavor upon in her life. As a member of the 2nd class to graduate from the then new Fauquier High School in 1965, she would receive a full scholarship to then Strayer Business School. Joyce’s tenacity, incredible will, and scholastic achievements coupled with her wit and intellect set the foundation for a well-respected business career. While beginning as a law secretary then in real estate, her greatest achievements came in the realm of the banking industry, specifically with Sona Bank over the past several years, holding many key positions within that entity. She was forever present and didn’t take a day even when she should have taken a day. Joyce was many things, yet loyalty to family was paramount. From caring for younger cousins, raising her own family, or being the primary care provider for both her maternal grandmother – Ruth Colvin Hughes and own mother; she again was always present. Of this legacy of love, loyalty, and intellect, Joyce is survived by the following family to carry on her legacy – Husband, C. Milton Harding; only child, Eric Conway Cox; granddaughter, Allison Elizabeth Cox (Ashby Berry); grandson Conway Alexander Cox; great-grandson Nolan Ashby Berry; and a yet to be born great-granddaughter. There are scores of cousins as well throughout Fauquier. Services for Joyce will be private through invitation due to Covid-19 restrictions and handled by Mosers Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the local SPCA of Fauquier County or to the Middleburg Humane Society.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AT HOME Having a loved one’s funeral at home can be a comforting way to say goodbye. However, since planning a funeral can be complicated, working with a funeral director, a trained professional who knows the steps and laws involved, make the process much less stressful. Funeral directors deal with many details, such as transporting the body of the deceased and preparing it for viewing.
