Demand for COVID-19 testing surges locally By Robin Earl

Samantha Hardy was performing drivethru COVID tests Monday morning.
There were about 80 cars lined up for COVID-19 testing at Piedmont Urgent Care in Warrenton on Monday at lunchtime. The line stretched through the parking lot and down Walker Drive for blocks. Testing was being accomplished on a first-come, first-served basis, and the wait was estimated at about three hours. Nearby at GoWell Urgent Care, which requires patients to have an appointment be-
fore getting in line, there were about 15 cars around the perimeter of the parking lot and snaked around the back of the building. George Webb, CEO of GoWell, expressed his appreciation for the patience of his business neighbors as the urgent care center accommodates what he characterized as an unprecedented number of patients. “And our patients have been so patient with the long waits for testing. People have been very kind,” he said. See TESTING, page 2
COVID-19 testing offered at GoWell Urgent Care
Rapid testing: Results are available in less than an hour. GoWell Urgent Care CEO George Webb said, “There is a chance of a false negative, but if you get a positive rapid test, you can be sure you’ve got it.” PCR testing: Webb describes the PCR test as highly accurate. He said that up until recently, the number of people requesting rapid tests was about the same as the number requesting PCR tests, but currently the ratio is closer to 75% rapid tests and 25% PCR tests. NAAT: A Nucleic Acid Amplification Test, or NAAT, is a type of viral diagnostic test for SARSCoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. NAATs detect genetic material (nucleic acids). Webb said that the NAAT offers the speed of the rapid test – processed in-house in about 20 minutes -- with the accuracy of a PCR test. He has made the test available to first responders and companies who employ “essential workers.” Some people who are preparing to travel ask for the test too. It is not processed through insurance and costs $250 out of pocket.

In a child welfare system that advocates say is chronically burdened with high caseloads and lengthy legal proceedings, juvenile courts are increasingly turning to specially trained volunteers who can serve as children’s legal advocates. Typically assigned to children who enter foster care as a result of familial abuse or neglect, representatives of Court Appointed Special Advocates — a nation-wide nonprofit known as CASA — work to learn about each child’s situation and needs, and to represent their best interests in court.

Demand for COVID-19 testing surges locally TESTING, from page 1 Those with symptoms who have tested positive for COVID-19 are being seen by GoWell practitioners only via remote visits. Nurse practitioner Lindsay Serey, FNP-C, said that virtual appointments are efficient and help to keep the staff and other patients safe, but when internet connectivity is an issue, “It’s a massive problem.” Webb said the situation is fluid, and the practice is constantly reevaluating based on the number of patients who need to be seen and the severity of cases. Serey said that most COVID patients the practice has seen have had relatively mild symptoms, “especially those who have been vaccinated. Unvaccinated patients are a little bit sicker” – with high fevers, severe body
aches, coughing and chest discomfort. Serey described the pace of the office since Thanksgiving as “hectic,” explaining “we had a little spike when the kids went back to school, but that settled down. About a month ago, we started to see more COVID patients.” The practice sees 50 to 60 patients a day who do not have COVID symptoms; the rest are COVID-related, she said. In the last 30 days or so, “we have treated 3,549 patients, or 136 a day. But over the past week, we have treated 1,397 patients, or nearly 200 a day,” said Webb. He said that the number of phone calls being handled at the clinic has also exploded. “Over the past month, we have averaged 477 phone calls per day. Over the past week, that number is 1,399.” The day after Christmas was the height of the surge in phone calls.
Nurse practitioner Dorris Glaspy and other providers at GoWell Urgent Care were conducting COVID-19 consultations virtually, as of Monday. FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/ROBIN EARL
“Today, the number of incoming calls was 2,443,” Webb said Sunday. The GoWell staff has been working long hours and until a month ago had managed to stay healthy. Serey said that some staff members began to test positive for COVID around Thanksgiving. Webb was enjoying his first day back on the office Monday after being out with COVID for two weeks. He reported that his symptoms were minor, like other staff members have experienced. All of GoWell’s 27 staff mem-
bers have been vaccinated, he said. Webb is very proud of his staff. “We have a small urgent care clinic – only 2,400 square feet with five exam rooms. Despite supply chain issues, illness and family obligations, the GoWell staff has turned out to the tune of three and four times the normal staffing levels, putting in exhaustive hours, with all COVID tests being performed outside in the cold weather. It is really a Herculean effort.” See TESTING, page 18
Holiday weekend brings COVID spike
In Fauquier County, there were 81 new COVID-19 cases reported Dec. 24 and 129 — a new record — on Christmas Day. The previous record of 89 was set on Jan. 17. The one-day total in the county has topped 40 cases 12 times so far in December. That only happened once in October and twice in September. As of Dec. 28, the seven-day positivity rate for the state (total tests compared to positive tests) was 15.9%; it hasn’t been that high since Jan. 13. In the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, the positivity rating is 17.4%; it last reached that rate in May of 2020. Fauquier County reported a new COVID hospitalization Dec. 24, three on Dec. 25 and four on Dec. 26. So far in December, there have been 46 new hospitalizations. On Christmas Day, 181 new hospitalizations were reported in Virginia, the second-highest total of the pandemic. The highest number of new hospitalizations – 188 — was reached almost exactly a year ago, on Dec. 23, 2020. The number of COVID-19 deaths being reported in Virginia is similar to the volume of fatalities seen in late October and November. In Fauquier, there have been six deaths in December. There were five in October and two in November.

Volunteer advocates provide link between foster children and courts CASA, from page 1 CASA volunteers are invaluable because they have a lot of time to dedicate to each child, said Lori Battistoni, executive director of the Manassas-based CASA, Children’s Intervention Services. “They have their eyes and ears on everything.” While social services caseworkers and attorneys also work directly with children, part of the value “of the CASA volunteer role is that they are able to perform tasks that contribute to child well-being that cannot always be completed by the [Child Protective Services] worker or the paid [guardian ad litem], due to high caseloads and impossible work demands,” according to a 2021 study by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. Children in these circumstances have “experienced trauma before they even come into the system, and that trauma is at the hands of a trusted caregiver,” whether the trauma is the result of physical abuse, domestic violence or neglect, said Battistoni. “Our goal as an agency is to make sure that those kids have one CASA that commits to them for the entirety of their case, and sometimes these cases go on for quite a long time.” Simone Woods, a CASA volunteer in Warrenton, likened the CASA experience to detective work. “My job is to be neutral and get as much information as possible,” she said. In the course of a foster case, she will visit the child she has been assigned at least monthly, collect information on their family situation, and coordinate with legal and child welfare professionals to present the presiding judge with as much detail as possible. The goal, she said, is a safe, permanent home for the child, whether through adoption or a return to their parents. “I absolutely love it,” Woods said of the work. “It’s definitely difficult stuff to handle, but if I need help processing stuff, my supervisor is always there.”
A volunteer shortage
Finding enough volunteers to meet the demand, however, is a constant challenge. “If you look at any CASA around the country, they always have a waitlist,” said Battistoni. The Manassas-based CASA assigned volunteers to 236 cases last year, she said, but “we’re constantly losing [volunteers] and then trying to fight to get more people,” so some court appointments go unassigned. Megan Catherwood, who supervises CASA volunteers in Fauquier County, said that she’s been able to fulfill only 70% of recent requests for CASAs. In February 2022, CASA, CIS, which serves Prince William, Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties, will host its next training session for new volunteers. With a windfall of at least ten new CASAs, Battistoni and her colleagues hope to eventually address every case that comes their way. “We want to be in

Winter 2022 CASA training
Staff at Children’s Intervention Services -- a branch of the nationwide nonprofit Court Appointed Special Advocates, known as CASA -- are looking for new volunteers to help them handle more cases in the Prince William, Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock areas. Those interested in learning more about becoming a CASA volunteer can email jpolen@ casacis.org to RSVP for the upcoming virtual informational sessions: • Jan. 5, 2022, at 6 p.m. • Jan. 19, 2022, at noon The next training cycle, held online and at the PATH Foundation office, will begin Feb. 12 and run through Feb. 24. Additional information is available at casacis.org. a position where every case a court assigns, we can turn around and put a volunteer on it,” said Catherwood. “That’s our vision: to have no child waiting for a CASA.” Although anyone over the age of 21 is eligible to become a CASA volunteer (after passing a background check), candidates are vetted throughout the training process to see if they’re mentally and emotionally suited to the work, Battistoni said. A typical case can last around six months, she said, with an average CASA commitment of ten hours a month. “I think it’s a mission of the heart, honestly,” added Battistoni. “You have to have a drive and a passion for helping children like this,” because the process can be frustrating and emotionally taxing. Becoming a CASA “opens your eyes to things in your community you’d maybe rather not know,” said Catherwood. In Fauquier County, she said, the majority of cases involve children being removed from home due to neglect, which often involves substance abuse by parents. “When people read about the opioid crisis, we’re dealing with the direct and hard impact of it on families.” Catherwood and Battistoni emphasized, however, that it can be intensely rewarding to “act as voices See CASA, page 4

Realtors announce new president for 2022 Terrie Owens has been installed as the new president of the Greater Piedmont Realtors for 2022; she is a REALTOR® with the Long and Foster office in Warrenton. The announcement came during an annual installation event on Dec. 10 at Fauquier Springs Country Club. Owens said, “I am honored to serve as the GPR president for 2022. Our board of directors is filled with productive and professional leaders positioned to serve their clients and association successfully in 2022.” Greater Piedmont Realtors is a trade association of real estate agents serving the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Rappahannock counties.
Town council elections in Warrenton, Remington and The Plains will take place in November — not May — for the first time next year, a change required by a state law passed early this year. Council members whose terms would have expired June 30, 2022 will serve an additional six months as part of the transition to November elections. The Warrenton Town Council voted unanimously Dec. 14 to adopt an ordinance making the change official. The terms of Mayor Carter Nevill and at-large council members Sean Polster and Renard Carlos will be extended through Dec. 31, 2022, and elections for those seats will next take place Nov. 1, 2022. The remaining council members’ terms expire in 2024. Under the transition to November elections, three members of The Plains Town Council — Joyce Heflin, Noah Portugal and Heidi Van Voorhis — will also have their terms extended by six months next year along with all members of the Remington Town Council. Eligible residents of the towns of Warrenton, Remington and The Plains must file their candidacy for a town election by June 21, 2022 to appear on the ballot in November. More information is available at elections.virginia.gov/candidate.
Volunteer advocates provide link between foster children and courts CASA, from page 3 for these children.” Permanency and stability are “very important in a child’s life,” said Battistoni, and to have a consistent adult in their life “can really make a difference for them.” Judge Melissa Cupp, who presides in the 20th Judicial District’s Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court (which encompasses the counties of Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock), said she tries to enlist a CASA for every one of her foster care cases. “Their most valuable contribution to the court is that they give you a lot of information about
how the kids are doing,” said Cupp, which “can really tell you in a narrative what the child’s experience is like in foster care” and where the child is developmentally. As a judge, Cupp said, her knowledge is limited to whatever is presented by the parties in court, so “as much information as you can get, the better, because it helps you make good decisions.” “I had a case,” Cupp recalled, “with a child in foster care for a long time, like many years. I started out as a [Department of Social Services] attorney in that case. And during the course of the case, the judge retired, the DSS director changed, the caseworker changed, the guardian ad litem
changed.” The only one who remained on the case throughout “was the CASA,” she said. All the knowledge of the child’s situation “didn’t get lost, because she had been there from the very beginning, even though the professional staff had all changed. … She was able to provide some consistency.” When asked about the prospect of new volunteers, Cupp said, “I think it’s really important; these kids are the ones who need protection and somebody working with them the most out of everyone in our community, so I certainly would encourage anyone who’s considering it.” Reach Liam Bowman at lbowman@fauquier.com

Important safety information from Virginia Natural Gas Every day, underground pipelines safely transport natural gas – one of the most efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly fuels – to homes and businesses throughout the country. Virginia Natural Gas operates, secures and maintains the pipelines in our service territories. We adhere to state and federal pipeline safety regulations, perform extensive qualitycontrol checks, educate the public on how to recognize and prevent natural gas leaks, and work closely with officials to develop emergency response plans.
Carbon monoxide
If you smell gas, act fast!
Incomplete combustion of any fuel produces carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and has no odor, taste or color. Carbon monoxide detectors are helpful, but they are no substitute for using equipment safely. This includes having your appliances inspected once a year by a certified contractor.
Although natural gas pipeline incidents are uncommon, you can help prevent emergencies by knowing the signs of a potential problem. Even though you may not currently be a Virginia Natural Gas customer, you can play an important role in natural gas safety. Below are some tips on how to identify a
Appliance safety
LISTEN for a hissing or roaring noise near a natural gas appliance or line.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency:
Call before you dig Before digging on your property, state law requires you call 811 to have your utility lines professionally marked – for free! You must wait the required amount of time before you begin your project. Pipeline markers indicate the general area of the pipeline, but not its exact location or depth. A pipeline may not always be marked in all areas, so it is important to always “Call Before You Dig.” If a pipeline right of way is adjacent to your property, you have a responsibility to ensure no new installations of landscaping or physical structures are placed in the right of way, which interferes with our ability to keep the pipeline safe through routine monitoring and maintenance. Information about transmission pipelines operating in your community can be accessed online at npms.phmsa.dot.gov, courtesy of the National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS).
Water heater safety The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urges all users to lower their water heaters to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
• It is important that you have your furnace inspected by a qualified specialist. • Be sure all furnace controls and emergency shut-offs are in proper working condition. • Keep trash and other combustible materials away from your air, heating and water heating systems. Pipeline integrity management is a process for assessing and mitigating pipeline risks to reduce both the likelihood and consequences of incidents. We have a comprehensive plan that fully addresses these processes, especially for locations deemed highconsequence areas. To learn more, visit virginianaturalgas.com/ integritymanagementplan.
possible natural gas leak, and what to do in such a situation. LOOK for blowing dirt, discolored vegetation or continued bubbling of standing water. SMELL for the distinctive, rotten-egg odor associated with natural gas. Natural gas is colorless and odorless, so we add a chemical odorant called mercaptan for easy detection of a suspected natural gas leak. This odorant has a distinctive “rotten egg” type odor. You should act any time you detect even a small amount of this odor in the air. Note: Be aware that “odorant fade,” while uncommon, can occur. Odorant fade occurs when a physical or chemical process causes the level of odorant in the gas to be reduced. This can happen in both existing gas pipe and new installations. Some individuals may not be able to detect the smell of the natural gas odorant because they have a diminished sense of smell, because the scent is being masked by other odors in the area or because the odorant has diminished so that it is not detectable.
If you detect even a small amount of this odor in the air: DO NOT try to identify the source or to stop the leak yourself. LEAVE the area immediately and move a safe distance away from the potential leak, while avoiding any action that may cause sparks. AVOID using any sources of ignition, such as cellphones, cigarettes, matches, flashlights, electronic devices, motorized vehicles, light switches or landlines, as natural gas can ignite from a spark or open flame, possibly causing a fire or explosion. Natural gas is nontoxic, lighter than air and displaces oxygen. In severe cases, if not used properly, it can also lead to asphyxiation. CALL Virginia Natural Gas at 1.877.572.3342, or 911 once you are out of the area of the suspected leak and in a safe place. Stay away until Virginia Natural Gas or emergency personnel indicate it is safe to return. For more information, visit virginianaturalgas.com/safety or call 1.866.229.3578. Para solicitar una copia de esta información en español, llame al 1.866.229.3578 o visite virginianaturalgas.com/safetyspanish.

Due to COVID-19 related concerns, Shop with a Cop looked a little different this year, said Michele Arft of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. “Fauquier Cops for Children was not able to take children Christmas shopping with our law enforcement officers, but we didn’t let that stop us,” she said. Through donations from local citizens and businesses, FCFC was able to purchase Walmart gift cards for each child. Officers obtained wish lists, and volunteers selected as many wish list items as they could. Arft offered “A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers and a special thank you to Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, Warrenton Police Department and Virginia State Police who delivered dozens of gifts to 32 homes in Fauquier County.”
Four of the six sponsors of the Black Lives Matter group that rallies on Courthouse Square in Warrenton each week came together Dec. 17 to present $1,600 to a representative of Special Olympics in honor of the Warrenton Police Department. The NAACP, the League of Women Voters, the Virginia Interfaith Center and Coming to the Table of the Northern Shenandoah Valley contributed to the donation. Vigil organizer Scott Christian explained that the group wanted to find a way to thank the Warrenton Police Department for being present at their weekly vigils; officers make sure the gatherings are not disruptive to residents or businesses and that protesters and counter-protesters interact in a safe way. “We couldn’t donate directly to the WPD, so we decided to contribute to a cause they support,” said Christian. Police Chief Mike Kochis said he was “grateful for the donation to this amazing cause,” pointing out that law enforcement has been supportive of the Special Olympics for a long time. “I appreciate the donation – made in honor of the Warrenton Police Department — very much,” he said.

Reeping will share what resources and support are available for victims, survivors and their families as they recover. She will also unveil a new survivor resource coming to Fauquier County. There will be time for questions and answers at the conclusion of the featured speakers.

Multiple police cars were called to respond to stop a man who allegedly was involved in a high speed chase the night of Dec. 23.
High-speed police chase leads to multiple charges for Orange County man Multiple police cars were called to respond to stop a man who allegedly was involved in a high speed chase the night of Dec. 23. An Orange County man has been charged with six criminal counts, including three felonies, after a police chase that began in Prince William County and ended outside Warrenton led to his arrest Dec. 23. Jonathan Pratt, 40, allegedly struck another vehicle in Prince William County and traveled to U.S. 29 northwest of Warrenton. Fauquier sheriff’s deputies responded to the call and attempted to stop him after recording his speed at 90 m.p.h. in a 55 m.p.h. zone, according to a sheriff’s office press release, but Pratt drove away to the Eastern Bypass. Deputies eventually stopped Pratt’s vehicle at the Meetze Road exit using a “precision immobilization technique,” the sheriff’s office said. Pratt allegedly struck a police car with his vehicle in a failed at-
tempt to drive away a second time, according to the criminal complaint filed with his arrest, and he was quickly apprehended. Pratt alleged- Jonathan Pratt ly told deputies that he had been “drinking Fireballs all day” and a breathalyzer test found he had a blood alcohol content of 0.17 — more than twice the legal limit — according to the complaint. Pratt is charged with felony driving while intoxicated, disregard of a law enforcement command, and assault of a law enforcement officer along with misdemeanor reckless driving, drinking while driving and operating a vehicle without insurance. He remained in custody as of Monday afternoon, according to online court records.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Fauquier Times | December 29, 2021
Any Amazon data center proposal must address questions on water, energy, design This past September, Amazon completed its $39.7 million purchase of 41.7 acres in Warrenton along Blackwell Road, behind Country Chevrolet, with plans to build a data center. Data centers are a modern industrial necessity for storing and processing the ever-expanding data circulated by businesses and individuals on a daily basis. However, because they require vast amounts of land for large campuses, electricity for running servers and water to cool processors, the placement of data centers comes with a number of important considerations. As of Nov. 30, Amazon had yet to submit a development application or any technical details on the proposed data center. When it does, the Piedmont Environmental Council would like to see the company address the following considerations:
Where is the water coming from?
Warrenton’s recent zoning amendment will require Amazon to use recycled water for cooling. In this context, “recycled water” means either treated greywater from a wastewater treatment plant or water that is recirculated through an
in-house system. Both scenarios would likely rely on treated public wastewater from nearby sources to replenish its systems. The problem is, neither Fauquier’s nor Warrenton’s wastewater treatment plants produce recycled water at the quality necessary for data center use; even if they did, infrastructure does not yet exist to transport that water to the proposed site. The public needs to know more about what Amazon’s daily water needs will be, how it plans to connect to a wastewater treatment plant and treat water to the required quality, and how the efficiency of its in-house cooling systems will affect its water requirements.
What about energy?
Data centers inevitably result in significantly increased loads on existing utilities and often require both new transmission lines to carry electricity and new substations to transform voltage levels for distribution. Although Warrenton’s recent zoning amendment requires the underground placement of electric lines between substations and data centers, it’s unclear if Amazon’s potential data center at this site will require
a new substation or overhead transmission lines connecting the site to existing infrastructure. The public needs to know where Amazon would source its power and connect to existing infrastructure and the specific locations of any new infrastructure. Additionally, we urge the company to incorporate rooftop solar, energyefficient lighting and other practicable measures to reduce the energy demands in their proposal.
Planning and design
The location where the Amazon data center is proposed is highly visible along Blackwell and potentially along U.S. 29. Careful attention should be given to the design, lighting and aesthetics of the building to ensure it does not become an eyesore or detract from surrounding land uses. PEC believes a data center at this site could be appropriate, but the public needs details on water usage, access to electricity and site design in order to weigh in in an informed manner. We urge Amazon to submit a comprehensive application that includes this important information. KEVIN KASK Land use coordinator, Piedmont Environmental Council
Thoughts on homelessness: A first-person account After 44 years of working every day, raising a large family, struggling to make ends meet, scraping the bottom of the barrel, barely honoring my obligations, it all came crashing down. I found myself homeless. As I lay under a bridge on a cold dark night, wedged in-between concrete tresses I could not help but ask, how did I get here? This is not what I worked hard all of my life for. My first days as a retired senior have left much to be desired. As I try to shiver off the cold, my reasoning wanders as my frozen eyes keep a vigilant watch for predators or anything under the bridge that may cause me harm. This uncertain night begins my first night as a homeless person. I also experienced the cold shoulder society has to offer the homeless. What is homelessness? There is more to being homeless than meets the eye. According to the dictionary, the definition of homeless is:
Without home, and therefore living on the streets. Homeless is lacking stable and appropriate housing. People can be categorized as homeless if they are living on the streets, moving between temporary shelters, including houses of friends, family and emergency accommodations, or living in private boarding houses without a private bathroom or security of tenure. There are, of course, many reasons why someone may become homeless. Recently a devastating weather-related event has created thousands of homeless. Overnight, literally whole towns of people have found themselves homeless. Financial situations result in countless numbers of homeless people. Downsizing, cutbacks, outsourcing, medical setbacks - the list is endless. From coast to coast, from inner cities to towns like Warrenton, the homeless are here to stay. I can’t help but wonder, what is
the difference between a homeless person down on their luck and a homeless person who may have just lost their home to a tornado or a fire? Unfortunately, there is a big difference, at least in the eyes of society. One receives overwhelming help and assistance and the other does not. However, there is help to be had. This humble homeless person has to admit that there is help out here. It might not come as quickly or as automatically as help would in the aftermath of a disaster, but help is readily available. If you find yourself homeless, there are resources out here for us. Almost every city and state offers some kind of program or shelter that can help the homeless. I have recently found shelter in the small town of Warrenton and have met and grown to know several other homeless people -- families, for Warrenton’s shelter is a family shelter. I am grateful to have been accepted into this shelter because I
Fauquier Family Shelter residents receive holiday gifts The residents at Warrenton’s Fauquier Family Shelter on Keith Street in Warrenton got a taste of the Christmas spirit on Dec. 17, as volunteers from all over the county arrived with gifts. Eighteen students from Fresta Valley Christian School in Marshall volunteered to paint several items on the property, including porch furniture, picnic tables and fencing. According to teacher and coach Philip Rice, the school allowed some students to volunteer in the community – instead of going to class -- on the last day of school before Christmas break. See SHELTER, page 19

am single. The people are very unlike the homeless that I have perceived in the past. I used to think all homeless were bums, winos and people who did not want to work. I am a bit ashamed of myself to find that in this shelter everyone here is good as gold. They may have been dealt a bad hand or two, but are caring, loving, hard-working people who deserve a fresh start in life. Fauquier Family Shelter provides that for us. We all have a home. We travel on that home through space and time with each other. If we are lucky, we will have a roof, a dry cave, a grass hut on a beach or maybe a castle to weather the storms that life might send our way. Homeless is temporary, a label. It is not who we are!

HIGHLAND BECOMES DESTINATION SPOT FOR MEN’S HOOPS COACHES
Ngongba, Abraham, O’Brien, Whitaker give Hawks’ star power By Peter Brewington
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
Georgetown University men’s basketball coach Patrick Ewing and Maryland coach Danny Manning have been at Highland School recently scouting boys basketball talent. It’s easy to see why. Highland’s boys program is rich in new recruitable hoopsters this year. A year after star guard Angelo Brizzi departed for Villanova, Highland has more players to drool over. They include 6-foot-10 sophomore big man Patrick Ngongba, 6-7 sophomore shooting guard Isaiah Abraham, 6-9 junior forward Patrick O’Brien, 6-6 senior forward Reiss Whitaker and 6-2 junior guard Cam Cole. In a pre-Christmas display of the program’s riches, the Hawks easily handled one of the biggest public schools in Pittsburgh, pulling away from Taylor Allderdice, 76-42, on Dec. 22 in Warrenton. As superstar sophomores with more growth ahead, Ngongba and Abraham appear to be the most coveted. At 6-10, Ngongba is a well-coordi-

from Georgetown already, is a prolific scorer who can pour in the points off his deadly jumper or drives to the basket. He scored 17 against Allderdice, making four 3-pointers. Point guard Cam Cole is a speedy point guard who got his six points against Alderdice on breakaway finishes to the basket, where his rapid pace with the ball stood out. Reiss Whitaker is Highland’s lone senior starter. He’s a 6-6 all-purpose guard/forward who sees the floor, distributes the ball and always seems to make the right play. Also a deadly 3-point shooter, Whitaker has accepted a scholarship offer from the U.S. Naval Academy. He scored eight against Allderdice. Another valuable Hawk is Patrick O’Brien, a slender 6-9 junior with smooth moves around the basket. O’Brien had 15 against Allderdice. Highland is 6-2 with losses to Archbishop Carroll (D.C.) 58-47 and St. Anne’s-Belfield 71-66. They’ve beaten Church Hill Academy 90-64, Richmond Collegiate 73-42, Hargrave Military 8047, Rock Creek Christian (Md.) 7551, Arundel Christian (Md.) 74-35 and Allderdice 76-52.

Midland dog wins AKC title
See the sighthounds
‘Otto’ claims Speed of the Breed By Betsy Burke Parker
Special to the Fauquier Times
A Midland dog earned the coveted Speed of the Breed title at last week’s American Kennel Club Fast CAT Invitational – coursing ability test – in Orlando, Florida. Owner Meredith Krause showed her German pinscher, Otto, to the national lure coursing championship. Some 250 dogs representing 154 individual breeds competed. The event is open to all AKC-registered dogs including mixed breeds, which AKC calls “all-American dogs.” Otto clocked in at 26.57 miles per hour. In Fast CAT, dogs compete in two preliminary trials to determine division finalists. The pure speed category recognizes the top 10 in height classes – open competition that favors long-legged sighthound breeds. Speed of the Breed determines the top 10 of each breed, the top prize going to the dog that runs faster than average for all of the breed. Overall fastest dog was a whippet, Reas, who ran the 100-yard course in 5.769 seconds – 35.45 miles per hour. That Otto’s winning time was
somewhat slower than Reas’ isn’t surprising: whippets are bred for hunting, and chasing, by sight. German pinschers are a smaller version of the better-known Doberman pinscher, bred as personal protection and general farm dogs and not widely known for either speed nor lure coursing ability. But Otto is one of a kind. His full name is a mouthful, reflecting his many titles: CH Windamirs Ottoman Emperor RN FCAT3 SWN SIA RATN CGCA TKI AT. Though earning titles was far from the plan when she got Otto as a puppy for her sick father, Krause said. “I bought him as a pet with hopes that he would be a companion and distraction for my dad, who was ill at the time,” explained Krause, who shares Winged Foot Farm in Midland with husband John Jarvis and what she calls a “motley crew” of animals, including her silver medal-winning dressage mare, llamas, chickens, donkeys, cats, Otto and an adopted Ashland basset hound that preferred swimming to hunting. Krause works as a clinical psychologist in Stafford.

Midland-based German pinscher Otto won AKC coursing last week in Florida. “We lost my dad a month after we got Otto (from Windamir German Pinschers in Maryland in 2018.) Otto ended up being a true light through it all. I showed him to a conformation championship shortly after his first birthday and also earned rally obedience, barn hunt, trick dog, canine good citizen and scentwork titles with him.” Her late father, Bob Krause, was an avid outdoorsman, an upland game and wing hunter and amateur dog trainer who was rarely without a perfectly mannered labrador retriever, his daughter said. Her late mother
A practice lure coursing trial is set Jan. 9 at Foxcliffe in Flint Hill. The host is Gainesville veterinarian Dr. Scott Dove, who with wife Ceil breeds, raises, competes and shows national champion Scottish Deerhounds. Starting at noon, dogs of all breeds – sighthounds and others – are invited to try out the half-mile course set in a flat riverbottom. Participation is free, and spectators – also free – are invited to attend. Dogs must be vaccinated and leashed. Call (540) 364-1762 for directions or details, but reservations or preentries are not required. was also “a dog person,” partial to toy poodles and border collies. Both encouraged Meredith to learn about all kinds of canines. “Dad spent every day with this pup at his side for the last month of his life,” Krause recalled. “Otto was truly a bright spot for all of us.” German pinschers are considered all-around farm dogs that excel in vermin control because of a high prey drive, and for personal protection dogs because of a famously alert, confident nature.

Demand for COVID-19 testing surges locally TESTING, from page 2
More tests coming back positive
The surge in testing — and in the share of those tests coming back positive — has also been profound at Piedmont Urgent Care, said Dr. Steven von Elten. “Something has changed in the last week,” he said Tuesday. Presumably, that change has been due to the omicron variant, he said, but there is not yet enough sampling data to say that for sure. The long lines and strain that puts on the staffers has led the practice to reevaluate their testing protocols this week, he said. “We don’t have the personnel to handle all our demand,” von Elten said, explaining revamped procedures will be announced Dec. 29. The new logistics model will most likely prioritize existing Piedmont Family Practice patients and residents of the health district over those from out of the area, he explained. The data from the practice tells a dramatic story. On Dec. 1, the pracOTTO, from page 16 Otto was special from the start. “His speed and prey drive led me to give lure coursing a try,” Krause said. The black dog was a natural, winning AKC FastCAT titles in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Otto won select dog titles at the Na-
tice tested 61 people with six positive results. That hadn’t changed much two weeks later, when only seven of the 77 people tested Dec. 15 came back positive. But on Dec. 20, 144 people were tested and 32 were positive. Of the 153 people tested Dec. 23, 41 were positive. Then on Dec. 27, 98 of the 270 tests conducted at the practice came back positive, a percent-positivity rate of 36%. “We’ve seen a lot of people symptomatic. There’s a lot of disease,” von Elten said, noting that the most severe cases have been among people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. “I would implore people … the bottom line is: they need to get vaccinated,” he said. “I understand why people don’t want to get vaccinated. I understand not trusting politicians,” he said. But vaccinated people are almost never hospitalized or die from COVID-19, whatever the variant. “You stay the heck out of the hospital. You’re not going to go on a vent or die.” tional and Regional Breed Specialty shows in North Carolina last month. Though he’s only 3 ½, Otto is now retired from racing, Krause said. She’ll now focus on scentwork and tracking titles and aim for his grand championship in the breed ring. Complete results and details on FastCAT competition, go to akc.org.

Fauquier girls bounce back big BASKETBALL, from page 15 “But the girls are excited to come to practice every day. The amount of energy they bring to practice each day is awesome,” Noonan said. “As a coach I couldn’t ask for more on a daily basis.” Eight Cougars scored in the game, led by Emma Humphries and Ava Prysock with 10 points each, while Erin Porter had six. Kate Bloom, Ashley Hume and Emory Shorts all added four points, with Reagan Pagtrick and Simone Tapscott both having two. Humphries had eight rebounds and Patrick five. Porter handed out three assists.
Falcons recover from loss
Fauquier also found itself needing to bounce back from a district defeat, as the Falcons absorbed an unexpected 61-29 drubbing at the hands of previously winless James Wood on Dec. 22. The Falcons shook off the lopsided result the next night at home, 52-32, over Warren County. “That was the first game that we played team basketball,” Fauquier coach Brian Foddrell said. “I really loved the chemis-
try and body language of all our players.” Added Foddrell, “It was a great game to steady the ship after coming off a rough loss to James Wood.” Makayla Foddrell and Skyler Furr paved the way with 14 points each, while Gabby Garrison followed with 12. Skye Corum and Bhavika Regiti scored four each to two apiece for Tamia Thorpe, Haley Ponn and April Belcher. Fauquier experienced foul problems versus James Wood as Foddrell picked up three personal fouls early in the second quarter and had to sit for the remainder of the half. The Falcons trailed by 11 points at halftime. Foddrell then collected a fourth foul in the opening moments of the third period, and Furr picked up her third to leave the team with major adjustments. “This really took the strength of our team out of it. We had way too many turnovers in order to be competitive,” the coach said. Furr and April Belcher both scored eight points. Garrison tallied five, Foddrell four and Brooke Belcher four. Liberty posted a 50-37 district victory over Handley.

Warrenton BLM vigil supporters donate to Special Olympics in honor of police department DONATION, from page 8 Director of Development for Special Olympics of Virginia Ellen Head said that the Special Olympics stands for “respect, inclusion and unity,” as do the groups who were represented in Courthouse Square that day. The WPD also holds those principles dear, she said, adding, “there are a lot of good cops out there.” Head said that Kochis and his de-
partment have been supportive of the Special Olympics. “The chief has been very involved. He’s been fantastic.” She said that COVID-19 has taken some of the momentum from the Special Olympics, “But this year, we’re back.” And she added that since none of the special needs athletes who participate in the games is asked to pay for the privilege, she was very grateful for the donation.

Shirley Louise Soule November 30, 1936-December 9, 2021 Shirley Louise (Rabens) Soule, 85, of Warrenton, VA passed away peacefully at her home on December 9, 2021. She was born November 30, 1936, in Charleston, South Carolina. Preceded in death by her husband, John (Jack) Whitman Soule; father, John Henry Louis Rabens, Sr.; her mother, Louise Campbell Rabens; and her sister, Linda Rabens Mizzell. mShirley is survived by her two sons, Jeffrey (Jeff) Whitman Soule and his wife, Lyn Ellen Good-Soule, and John (Doug) Douglas Soule. Jeff and Doug lovingly cared for their mother in her home with the assistance of Denise Leatherhand (Daycare person) and Heartland Hospice, especially her nurse, Jackie and her medical aide, Deborah. She is also survived by her sister, Joan Rabens Walker and her husband, Howard; and her brother, John Henry Rabens, Jr. and his wife, Becky; and her brother-inlaw, Bobby Mizzell. Shirley dearly loved her grandchildren, Misty Soule (Jon Hayes); Christina Hughes and her husband, Drew; and especially Ian Soule (Dana Espinosa), who lived with her while growing up. Her great-grandchildren, June Eloise Hughes and Jovie Leanna Hughes, brought her many smiles and such joy. Her family had just recently grown with Jeff and Lyn’s marriage and gave her step-grandchildren, RJ Good and his wife, Margaret; and Bekah Good, who came to care for Shirley deeply. Shirley spent her years as a stay-at-home Mom until her boys were teenagers. Then she worked as a church secretary at Centreville Baptist Church, worked at Peebles Department store, and she retired after working as an Administrative Secretary for the Federal Government at the Command Center in Vint Hill, Virginia. Her sweet and sassy Southern ways will be missed. She loved gatherings of family, friends, and food that she didn’t have to cook! She loved animals and especially missed her dog, Jazzy. She loved to go on cruises with her sisters; it didn’t matter the destination. She missed her beloved Charleston, where she grew up, and loved having her toes in the sand at the beach. She enjoyed crossword puzzles, word searches, and reading mystery novels. When relaxing, she could be found watching NCIS (any of them) and Criminal Minds. While she hasn’t been able to attend church for a while her faith was strong, and she was a member of Warrenton Baptist Church. She left us with several beautiful, hand-written quotes in her bible, one of which Christina found- “When Christians die, real life begins.” This and so many more wonderful things will be how we all should remember Shirley Louise Soule. A family gathering will be held on January 10, 2022, at 12:00 PM at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA. A procession will take place at 1:00 PM for interment next to her husband at Culpeper National Cemetery, Culpeper, Virginia. Online condolences may be expressed at www. moserfuneralhome.com.

Caring for a loved one can be timeconsuming and challenging. Even caregivers need a break now and then, and there is a support system for those who need it. Respite care provides much-needed short-term relief for primary caregivers. It can be arranged for an afternoon or several days or weeks. Care can be given at home, in a healthcare facility, boarding home, or adult day center. This type of care can make a world of difference. Respite services typically charge by the hour or number of days that the services are provided. While most insurance plans do not cover these costs, Medicare will cover most of the price up to five days in a row. Medicaid may also offer assistance. If you’re feeling guilty about using respite care, know that it really is the best thing for you loved one. When you get a break and have the opportunity to recharge your emotional batteries, you will return full of vitality and vigor. Studies show that as the number of days of respite care increase for a patient, the number of days in the hospital days decreases for the same patient. For more information, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 3473431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.

Jonathan Ray Rector Jonathan Ray Rector, 23 of Amissville, passed away on December 18, 2021, at his home. He was born on May 25, 1998, in San Angelo, Texas. He was the beloved son of Michael and Diane Rector (Corbin). He was a 2016 graduate of Kettle Run High School. While there he was a member of JROTC. He also completed the summer program with Freedom Alliance Military Leadership Academy at Ft. Indiantown Gap in Annville, PA. Jonathan truly lived life to the fullest with simple pleasures; chatting with his friends, snacking and just hanging out with friends and family. He had a heart of gold and would do anything he could for anyone. He loved helping others. He was active and inquisitive as a child, always wondering how things worked and occasionally getting into minor trouble for taking things apart and trying to put them back together. As he grew older, these characteristics remained as he would often still get into minor trouble from his need to try new things. Left to cherish Jonathan’s memory are his parents, and his sister, Megan Rector. He also had many sisters, brothers and cousins, relative by blood or not, that will remember him fondly. The family will receive friends for visitation on Wednesday, December 29, 2021, from 5:00-7:00 PM at Moser Funeral Home (233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA 20186), where a funeral service will take place the following day, December 30, 2021 at 2:00 PM.
