Hundreds of families turn to home schooling, private schools during pandemic By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
Enrollment in Fauquier County Public Schools over the last year has dropped by about 889 students. Elementary school enrollment fell by 512, with second grade seeing the most significant decrease. Middle schools lost 215 students and high schools, 112. Eleventh grade was the only group to see higher enrollment this year than last. The difference of course, between fall of 2019 and 2020, was a worldwide pandemic that temporarily forced most children and teachers out of schools and onto computers for remote learning. Dissatisfied with this option, some families tried home schooling and others moved to private school settings. After beginning the school year with most students receiving instruction remotely, public school students in pre-school through fifth grade had
the option of returning to classrooms four days per week beginning March 15. Middle and high school students will have the same option beginning April 6. About two-thirds of families are choosing to return to in-person instruction, according to school officials. Now that they feel everyone can return to classrooms safely, public school officials have said at recent school board meetings that they will work to welcome back students who have left the system. But just how many of those more than 800 students will come back is unclear. Every family’s situation is different.

‘Brood X’ cicadas expected in Fauquier this spring By Cher Muzyk
Contributing Writer

By mid-May, Prince William residents can expect to see – and hear – dozens if not hundreds of Brood X cicadas in their trees and yards.
The cicadas are coming, and there will be billions of them -- maybe even trillions of them -- across the 14 states – including Virginia – where a coordinated emergence of periodical cicadas named “Brood X” will occur this spring. In a normal year, Fauquier residents might see an occasional green annual cicada in their yards or
run across a recently shed, empty skin. But the Brood X periodical cicadas set to arrive this spring are different. With their thick black bodies, orange-veined wings, bulging red eyes and striking orange legs, periodical cicadas are both big and heavy, as those who have been hit in the head by them in past years might remember. See CICADAS, page 14

Gov. eases capacity limits on gatherings, says vaccines will be open to all ‘in weeks’ By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
More people will be allowed to attend weddings, as well as indoor and outdoor entertainment and sporting events, in Virginia as of April 1, Gov. Ralph Northam announced March 23. Starting next month, weddings and other social events in Virginia can have as many as 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors. Social gatherings are currently limited to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors. Indoor entertainment venues will be allowed up to 500 people or up to 30% capacity – whichever is less. That’s an increase from the current cap of 250 people. For outdoor entertainment venues – such as college and professional sports stadiums – the limit will rise to 30% of capacity with no numeric cap. The change means a baseball stadium that seats 10,000 spectators will be allowed to have about 3,300. Northam said the changes are the result of the state’s improving COVID-19 case numbers and vaccination rates. Northam also announced an easing of restrictions on high school and recreational sports that will allow up to 100 people indoors, up from 25, and 500 people outdoors, up from 250. Northam said the changes are in line with new guidance on graduations, which he released last week. Outdoor graduation ceremonies can have as many as 5,000 spectators or about 30% of a venue’s capacity – whichever is less. Indoor graduation ceremonies can have up to 500 people or 30% of a venue’s capacity, whichever is less. The state’s mask mandate and physical distancing rules are not going away, however, and Northam stressed that both are necessary to further improve the state’s COVID-19 metrics. Northam characterized the capacity changes as “measured” and not a matter of “just flipping a switch” back to normal.
Northam said he and other state governors discussed such easing of restrictions with Dr. Anthony Fauci the morning before the announcements. “To be very clear, we are not simply throwing the doors open,” Northam said. “We still have a strict gathering limits, a universal mask mandate and capacity restrictions, both indoors and outdoors.” Asked why high school and recreational event capacity limits will remain much lower than those set for college and professional venues, Northam said high schools don’t have the “staffing and infrastructure” to supervise physical distancing and masking rules that professional venues do. Regarding COVID-19 cases, Northam noted that Virginia’s daily numbers have “plateaued” at about 1,400 new cases a day, while the state’s percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests is about 5.6%. Both are far below the 6,000 new cases and 17% percent-positivity rate Virginia saw during the mid-January peak. Still, the numbers are high enough to indicate that “there’s still a lot of virus in our communities,” Northam said. “Vaccines are the light at the end of the tunnel. But only if we take them. And only if we make smart choices until most people are protected,” he added. Regarding COVID-19 vaccine, Northam announced that the state received 500,000 doses of vaccine this week, which is more than double the roughly 200,000 weekly allotment the state had been receiving just a few weeks ago. The pace will be enough to open up distribution “to anyone who wants to be vaccinated” in a “matter of weeks,” Northam said. “It’s important for everyone to have that opportunity, to get vaccinated, because that is the only way we put this pandemic behind us,” Northam said. “We’re on track to meet President Biden’s goal of having vaccine available to every adult by May 1, and I’m confident that we will exceed it.”
CLARIFICATION David and Virginia Gerrish, owners of Designs by Teresa wanted to clarify a point in an article about their shop that appeared in last week’s Fauquier Times, “Designs by Teresa Flowers & Gifts closing in April.” The Gerrishes explained that they are closing their shop not because their long-time floral designer is retiring but rather because of an inability to find a replacement individual/couple to own and operate the business. “This has always been the situation and remains so,” they said.

The Fauquier Bank merger to take effect April 1
Police had a significant presence at the Bealeton shopping center for several hours on March 29 because of a bomb threat.
The ‘Fauquier Bank’ name ends 119-year run By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
The merger of The Fauquier Bank with Virginia National Bank, based in Charlottesville, will take effect April 1 after shareholders from each bank’s holding company voted to approve the measure, a press release announced Friday. The expected “merger of equals” was first announced in October 2020. As part of the merger deal, the “Fauquier Bank” name will end after 119 years, with existing branches and offices taking on the “Virginia National” brand later this year. Although in legal terms the merger will be effective Thursday, The Fauquier Bank’s chief executive said Monday that existing customers will not experience any interruption to bank services and there will be few visible changes at first. “There will be very little change following legal day one,” said President and CEO Marc Bogan, who will become the chief executive of Virginia National Bank April 1. Front-line employees like tellers and customer service representatives will continue to serve customers at the bank’s 11 existing branches. Routing numbers, account numbers and debit card numbers will not be affected either, he said, meaning direct deposits and bill payments from existing accounts will not be interrupted and existing customers may use the same checks.

Although the combined corporate entity will be based in Charlottesville, the current headquarters building of The Fauquier Bank will continue to house a retail banking branch and other offices. In mid-to-late summer, he added, The Fauquier Bank administrative systems will be merged with the Virginia National systems, at which point customers might see more branding changes. Additionally, since the two banks currently have two sets of retail products – like checking and savings accounts with different fees and interest rates, for instance – those product offerings will be consolidated as well. Signage at existing branches to reflect the Virginia National brand will begin to change by early fall, he added. But routing numbers and account numbers will still remain the same, he said. This fall, The Fauquier Bank debit cards will be phased out “over time” and new Virginia National cards issued to accountholders. In the meantime, The Fauquier Bank customers may use Virginia National ATMs with no fee as of April 1. Checking accounts with no monthly fees, one of The Fauquier Bank’s most popular products, will remain in place until at least the system consolidation this summer, Bogan said. Although Virginia National does not currently offer a “free checking” product, he said the See BANK, page 11
Police reopen Bealeton shopping center, roads, after Monday morning bomb threat The Food Lion in Bealeton and nearby businesses at Bealeton Village Center were closed for close to 3 hours Monday morning because of a bomb threat called into the grocery store. The shopping center and nearby roads were reopened after no threat was found. Sgt. Steven Lewis of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office said an investigation into the bomb threat is ongoing. The bomb threat was called into the Food Lion in Bealeton at 8:52 a.m. Monday; employees and patrons of shopping center businesses were evacuated, according to police. Lewis said that explosive detection K-9s from Prince William and Fauquier counties were used to search the Food Lion store and the parking areas. He said at 10:10 a.m., “A search of the buildings and parking lots is underway. All stores in the shopping center have been evacuated and Village Station Drive is closed to traffic.” The Fauquier Sheriff’s Office alerted residents to a large police presence in the area around Village Station Drive about 10 a.m. and sent the all-clear at about 12:20 p.m. Lewis said that Virginia State Police troopers were at the scene, as was the Fauquier County Fire Marshal.

Sod farm or dumping ground? County turns to supervisors for help By Peter Cary
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
A southern Fauquier landowner who has been battling the county for years over his use of fill dirt on his property says that if the county cites him under a proposed new dirt-dumping ordinance, he will be “first in line” to fight them. It is likely not an empty threat. Michael Hawkins, whose company owns land off Brent Town Road in Midland, said he did not plan to file suit to stop the new ordinance, however. That’s because he believes it would not apply to him. He said that a lawsuit he won in August 2020, in which a judge ruled that his operation was a sod farm and thus agricultural, exempts him from the proposed new zoning amendment that views dirt dumping as an industrial practice. “I’m grandfathered in,” he said. Recommended for approval by the county planning commission on March 18, the new amendment goes to the board of supervisors for its April 8 meeting. It would supplant an amendment passed two years ago that tried to limit the amount of fill dirt landowners could take on their property, but county officials have said it can be difficult to enforce. With the new amendment, they hope to gain more control over dirt-dumping by treating it as an industrial use and requiring a permit to accept and store it. The latest proposal highlights what county officials see as a new danger – growing mounds and mesas of dirt in the fields of other farmers. Rick Gerhardt, the Cedar Run supervisor, said: “Fauquier has become a dumping ground for Northern Virginia’s excess construction dirt.” The developments also spotlight a long-running feud between Hawkins, 45, a Catlett excavator, his neighbors, and the county over Hawkins’ practice of taking huge quantities of dirt onto his property to construct a base for a sod farm. Accepting the dirt can be a lucrative business; contractors pay landowners by the truckload to dispose of dirt and rubble on their property.
In an interview, Hawkins declared that the new proposed ordinance was just the latest designed by the county to target him. Amy Rogers, Fauquier’s chief of zoning and development services, declined to comment on that. She did say that the county had issued violations under its ordinances to about a half-dozen other landowners for piling construction dirt and debris on their properties. Rogers said once the new amendment is passed, any landowner taking fill dirt without the required industrial use permits would be cited. “If we see one truck go on the property and come out empty, boom,” she said. “You’re accepting non-ag[ricultural] fill for storage and disposal and you’re in a zoning violation.” Hawkins said he is mainly concerned about another part of the ordinance that prohibits fill operations within 100 feet of a property line or 500 feet of any house. He says he will lose the use of parts of his land that are 500 feet from neighbors’ houses – he labels it an “illegal taking” of his property by the government. “If VDOT comes in and takes 100 feet of your property, they have to pay you for it, right?” he said. If Hawkins were to be cited, it would not be the first time. The quarrel with the county dates back to at least 2017, according to lawsuits and documents filed in Fauquier County Circuit Court. The property at issue, a 56-acre parcel off Brent Town Road, was bought that year by Thomas and Jody Schottler. Thomas Schottler, an owner of sod farms in Prince William County, hired Hawkins to fill the valleys and level the land for a sod farm. Hawkins says he imported

Michael Hawkins at his sod farm in Midland. about 130,000 cubic yards of soil to fill the front 13 acres of the property. (Hawkins says that trucks carry no more than 10 cubic yards, so that could take more than 13,000 truckloads.) To access the property, Hawkins and Schottler got a county permit to build a road on an easement that passes through the property of their neighbors, Steven and Jennifer Rainwater. Since then, the Rainwaters have said, thousands of noisy trucks have driven the road, about 100 feet from their house, creating dust that settled on their house, barn and pasture. At the end of his property next to the Rainwaters, Hawkins raised the land 13 feet; they said runoff from the slope carried silt into their pond. A neighbor on the other side, Patricia Hupp, has complained of runoff onto her property too. Hawkins says their complaints were unfounded. County and state officials have long been concerned about the effect of imported dirt on streams and wetlands. In 2017, the state cited Schottler for violations of the operations’ effect on a small portion of wetlands and 750 feet of creek, and Schottler agreed in 2018 to remedy the problems. Meanwhile, concerned about the growing piles of dirt on this and other properties, the county on Sept. 13, 2018 passed a zoning amendment that would allow it to regulate the amount of dirt that agricultural enterprises could import. Two weeks later, on Sept. 28, 2018, the county cited Hawkins and the Schottlers under this new amendment, claiming they had exceeded dirt importation limits and needed a special exemption to accept it. They appealed to the county’s board of zoning appeals and lost. In June, 2019, Hawkins’ company bought the property from the Schottlers. Shortly thereafter, Hawkins was cited for those same zoning violations, plus others. He appealed to the BZA, lost, and appealed to the Fauquier Circuit Court, where the matter is pending. Court records show that both sides have submitted briefs on the case. Two months after purchasing the property, the county notified Hawkins his project was not exempt from erosion and sediment control requirements and needed a general construction permit. Hawkins fought that determination all the way to circuit court, where he prevailed on Aug. 26, 2020.
“A central issue in this case is whether the property is a sod farm or a dump,” wrote Judge Douglas L. Fleming Jr. Fleming decided it was a sod farm – citing, among other things that Hawkins had harvested sod there -- and thus was exempt from the erosion and sediment control regulations. The county has appealed. Armed with that ruling and his permit to build the access road, Hawkins has been bringing in dirt to level the rear portion of his property, about 30 more acres. In dirt-haulage reports he submitted to the county in 2018, he indicated he intended to import 932,000 cubic yards for the whole project, an amount the county’s zoning chief said at the time was “neither customary nor necessary to create a sod farm and is in fact counter-productive to sod farming.” Last week Hawkins said the 932,000 was just an estimate, and the amount would be more likely between 550,000 and 700,000 cubic yards – or 55,000 to 70,000 truckloads. On Jan. 25, Fauquier County cited him again for exceeding the dirt importation limits under the 2018 zoning amendment. Hawkins says he did not exceed the limits, and has appealed to the BZA, where the case will be heard on April 1. Meanwhile, he continues to operate. At the planning commission hearing on March 18, his neighbor Rainwater said trail cameras installed on his property had recorded 2,186 trucks entering Hawkins’ site since January. Hawkins disputed that number. He said it was more likely that 200 dirt trucks had entered his property in that time period, plus others carrying material to extend his access road. He also disputed statements from county officials that truckers pay $100 a load to dispose of their dirt. He said his number was between $25 and $35 a truckload, with a few loads paying $50. He said his dirt importation had so far brought in perhaps $400,000. He says the new amendment is just the latest example of the county “moving the goal posts” as he continues his operations. “They keep trying to change the language in the zoning violation, to get me nailed down,” he said, adding that he is not yet doing anything different. “They’re just trying to find a way to stop me dead in my tracks.”

Supervisors approve budget with no real estate tax increase Raises for county employees could be feasible in January 2022 By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
As expected, Fauquier County supervisors passed a “flat” budget Thursday, March 25 with no increase to the real estate tax rate, the county’s main source of local revenue. The $340.6 million budget for fiscal year 2022 – which begins July 1 – includes a real estate tax rate of $0.994 for tax year 2021, unchanged from the previous two years. The budget includes $151 million for the school division operating fund, much of which comes from state and federal sources. The county will contribute $93.1 million in local funds to the public schools, unchanged from FY 2021 and FY 2020. Using a portion of the approximately $750,000 balance from the FY 2021 budget, the budget resolution approved Thursday included $202,503 for bulk waste receptacles at the county’s five remote collection sites; $484,827 for the second year of salary compression adjustments for county (including school) employees and $8,167 for maintenance of the Rector Tract, a small park in Remington that will soon be the site of a canoe/kayak launch on the Rappahannock River. Funding for the bulk waste receptacles came after Supervisor Chris
Butler (Lee District) pushed for the measure, arguing it was inconvenient for residents living in southern and northern parts of the county to drive to the main landfill in Warrenton to dispose of bulk waste (large items like kitchen or bathroom appliances, pieces of wood or tires). At a work session on March 23, supervisors declined to support additional funding for the registrar’s office, which would have paid for two new employees and a new office site. Supervisors also declined funding for an additional court clerk’s office position and a fueling technician for the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport.
Pay raises likely, but not certain
Pay raises for the approximately 2,650 people employed by the county government – including 1,900 in the school division -- are not included in the budget. However, supervisors and county staff have emphasized during the budget adoption process that pay raises for county employees are a high priority. County Administrator Paul McCulla advised supervisors and school board members that 2.5% pay increases for all county employees may be feasible after Jan. 1, 2022. Money is included in the state budget to assist localities in raising
salaries up to 5% for some state-supported employees for one year. To receive those funds, however, local governments need to contribute matching local funding. Additionally, the county would need to cover the entire cost of raising pay for non-state-supported positions. Localities have the entire fiscal year to accept the state funding. According to an analysis by the county budget office, the cost of giving all county employees – including in the school division – a 2.5% raise would be $1.9 million for FY 2022 (assuming supervisors approved the move in January 2022) and $3.7 million per year going forward. Another factor in pay increases is the updated real estate values that will take affect beginning in tax year 2022, budget director Lisa Henty explained last month. Higher assessment values could give supervisors enough projected future revenue to offset salary increases for county employees beginning in January 2022. The results of the reassessment, which takes place every four years in Fauquier County, aren’t yet known; Henty explained it’s not possible to project whether real estate values would increase enough to bring in significantly more revenue. But, she said, “if reassessment numbers come
in positive, we will propose the increases mid-year, utilizing a portion of the reassessment funds and any offsetting state funds, pending the approval of the board via a budget amendment/presentation.” On Thursday, Board Chairman Chris Granger (Center District) reasserted his commitment to funding pay raises in January assuming real estate values increase enough to fund the measure.
Five-year capital improvement plan
As part of the budget process, supervisors also approved Thursday a five-year spending plan for capital improvement projects. Little changed from the previous five-year plan, the resolution passed Thursday includes one major new item: $55 million for the construction of a consolidated county courthouse. Because of the high cost of the courthouse project, county voters would need to approve the funding in a referendum before the project could move forward. Other major projects -- like the renovation and expansion of Taylor Middle School, phase two of the Central Sports Complex and the construction of a fire and rescue station in Bealeton – are still slated to receive funding before 2026.

In early April, Federal law will forbid the sale of nicotine vaping devices and e-liquids unless the buyer’s age can be verified. The legislation is called the Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act. The bill applies the same safeguards already in place for traditional cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products, and was included as part of the omnibus federal spending bill for fiscal year 2021. The law intends to stop sales to those under 18 who purchase the products online and, therefore, cannot easily have their ages verified. The law mandates online age verification for the sale of all e-cigarette products and requires in-person confirmation upon physical delivery. As a result, it will significantly reduce such sales by online retailers and likely drive their adult customers to brick and mortar vape shops. The kids will be out of luck, which is the intent. The law will apply only to residential addresses. While legally applicable to shipping only via the U.S. Postal Service, major carriers such
as UPS and FedEx will voluntarily comply with the law. DHL already prohibits the shipping of vaping and nicotine products in the U.S. The law is expected to take effect in early April after the comment period set by the Postal Service closes toward the end of March. The law will likely shift sales of vaping products from one buying channel to another. Early on at least, it appears to benefit vape shops over online retailers. There are almost 10,000 vape shops in the U.S. and an estimated 8 million users. Most vape shops are small businesses with just a few employees. While the industry is viewed negatively by some, proponents say many customers are either reducing their dependence on nicotine or attempting to eliminate it all together. Jeff Giocondo, owner of Wikivapes in Warrenton maintains that vaping can offer a transition to tobacco independence.

“The new law has saved my business. I now will be able to survive,” said Jeff Giocondo, owner of Wikivapes. His shop is located at 579 Frost Ave. in the Warrenton Towne Center. Giocondo, 52, purchased his busi-

ness just before COVID-19 hit and saw his early sales crash after the lockdown was implemented. Later in 2020 when his shop was able to reopen, sales were still sluggish. “People were sitting at home on their computers and thinking, ‘I need some juice. I’ll just order it online instead of going to the shop,’” said Giocondo. That buying option will soon go away. He is grateful his landlord reduced his rental costs for a few months in mid-2020 to help him get by. “Recently, I’ve seen a 100% increase in my business. I’m getting up to 20 customers a day,” said Giocondo. Many of those sales were fulfilled in the past by online retailers. The early surge in his business is due in part to some online businesses shutting down in advance of the law’s enforcement, he said. His customers range in age from 21 years old to senior citizens. Older buyers comprise as much as half of his customers. “I would also say 50% of the people who come in here are trying to stop smoking or trying to cut down,” Giocondo said. “We fit those people with the right device and right product for what they need.” But where there are winners, there may also be losers.

However, many of them are also wholesalers who will be able to retain that business channel since those sales will not go to residential addresses but rather businesses, mostly shops like Wikivapes. “This is a case that some might see as government overreach, but it’s benefiting my business while protecting young people,” said Giocondo. The Tobacco Hut Vape shop at 294 Lee Highway did not respond to a request for comment on the new law.

SOURCE: VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT Hundreds of families turnOFtoEDUCATION home schooling, private schools during pandemic SCHOOLING, from page 1 Newton said that over the summer of 2020, “we thought long and hard about it. Home schooling wasn’t what we thought it would be. And my daughter really didn’t want me to be her teacher. “We heard about Belle Meade and decided to test it out. After the first day, my daughter waved at everyone and told them she’d see them tomorrow. It’s the best option for her.” She added, “I can say with 100% certainty that this school is allowing her to be the person she is meant to be.” Newton acknowledged that the pandemic has brought with it a lot of negatives, a lot of loss. In fact, she lost her job at a local dental practice for a while, until she was hired back when the business was allowed to open again. “But the best positive has been finding the school that fit her best. The pandemic gave us the time to take that pause.”
Home schooling
Chanell Maloney and her husband have two children, a son Kade, 5 years old and River, a daughter, who is 7. Before the pandemic, River was attending first grade at Bradley Elementary; Kade was in pre-school at Mountainside Montessori School in Marshall, where his mom also taught physical education part time. In February, Maloney said, one child had a cold so she kept them home for a week, just to be safe. The pandemic at that time was just beginning to cause concern. The next week, she kept both kids
home after the second had caught the cold. Maloney said that soon after that she pulled both children from school to reduce the chance of them bringing COVID home and possibly infecting a vulnerable relative. “We pulled them from school as a trial. We thought, ‘Let’s see how this goes.’ “A couple of weeks after that, everyone was home [when schools closed in March]. We found we enjoyed it.” Maloney said the family had moved to the family farm in December 2019, explaining, “We had these beautiful, epic surroundings to learn from.” She said the option of teaching her kids at home was something they’d considered before. “We were already toying with the idea of home schooling.” She said that because of the move to the farm, the family would have had to switch elementary schools. “We were in transition anyway,” and since she wasn’t working full time, “it wasn’t a big transition for me to home-school.” Because the family had had experience with Montessori methods, Maloney didn’t worry about a curriculum. They were used to “child-led learning,” so that spring and summer, that’s what they did. Maloney describes the “unschooling” they experimented with. “We have baby goats and a pond. I can’t tell you how many ‘pond studies’ we did. We focused on nature-based learning. “Everything is a learning experience. We did a lot of cooking, measuring; we made clay models of everything. School was like play to them.” The Maloneys had home-schooling friends “who had the same standards of care,” including masking and social distancing, and their kids
were the same age. “We went over there; they came over here.” When school started in the fall, Maloney decided to continue home schooling. “I pulled the trigger and got a curriculum.” The curriculum she chose includes common core mathematics, which was new to Maloney. “I didn’t learn math that way!” The children especially enjoy the science lessons. “We forage and have a natural medicine apothecary here at home. My daughter will be eating out of the yard. Now that the violets are coming in, she’ll be turning purple!” Maloney admitted that there are challenges. Only 5, Kade gets to choose what he is interested in learning; River’s lessons are more structured. He can be a distraction when “he is having a big emotion day,” she said. Maloney said the more relaxed nature of home schooling allows her to adjust to the children’s needs. “Sometimes they are frisky or can’t concentrate. I’ll push them out the door and tell them, ‘Go jump on the trampoline.’ They run around for half an hour, come back in and have a snack and we’ll try again. If it’s still not working, we’ll try again the next day.” She admits that home schooling isn’t for everyone. “My husband [John] says if he had to do it, we wouldn’t be home schooling. I’m probably more patient.” Maloney said the children both want to homeschool in the fall. “I’ve already purchased curriculum for next year. I’m enjoying it. They’re enjoying it. We’ll continue until I’m done with it or they are.” See SCHOOLING, page 11

Split decision
Elementary school grades
Tracy Baker of Warrenton learned from her COVID trials that what’s good for one child may not work for another. Baker has two children. Madison, 10, was a fifth grader at Bradley Elementary School and her son Jack was an 8th grader at Warrenton Middle when the pandemic closed schools in March of 2020. Baker was dissatisfied with remote learning at the end of the 2019-2020 school year. “There wasn’t much there,” she said. At the same time, she understands the challenges the teachers and the administration faced. “There were no good options.” She said that many Fauquier residents don’t have the infrastructure to learn remotely, but the teachers have to make it work for everyone. “I just decided to take my kids out of the equation.” In August, she enrolled both children in Virginia Virtual Academy, an option that uses online curriculum and services provided by K12, advertised as “an online public school.” Baker felt there had been so much back and forth – the children were in school, then out of school. “For consistency, I thought they would be better off with K12.” Baker herself is finishing up nursing school and her husband, Steven, who works from home, is completing his master’s degree in systems engineering. “We were all learning from home,” said Baker. Jack likes virtual learning, Baker said, “He gets to sleep until 9, works at his own pace … A lot of his social life is online. He hangs out remotely with his friends and plays games.” Madison, however, begged to go back to school, her mother said. She returned her more social child to her classroom just before the school system went from two days a week of in-person learning to four days. “She is happy,” said her mother, but misses the lighter academic day of online learning. Both children will return to in-person public school in the fall, said Baker, Jack to his first year of high school, Madison to her first year of middle

school. “We’re hoping things get back to normal in the fall,” she said. “I don’t want to keep them from middle school or high school experiences. We are going back to brick and mortar in the fall.”
Kids finding their groove
Cary Kane’s son Tylen moved from Greenville Elementary School to Highland School in Warrenton in the fall of 2020. The idea had been on the family’s radar already, but the pandemic made it happen. “Tylen is very academically focused. We value in-person instruction and he excels in that environment. We wanted to keep him in that groove. He’s transitioned very well.” Kane said Highland has kept kids in the classrooms, except for a couple of weeks right after Christmas. There are 14 children in Tylen’s class; three of them learn remotely. “They wear masks, but get to take mask breaks. They’ve done a good job.” Kane said Tylen will start middle school there next fall. Kane’s younger son Kellen, a first grader, is attending four-day-a-week classes at Greenville. She credits his “phenomenal teacher,” despite being “pulled in so many directions.” Kellen started back to school when the school division opened its doors to students two days a week. She said that her youngest is so happy to be back
The Virginia Department of Health’s interim guidance for K-12 schools was updated March 23 and is available at: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/content/uploads/sites/182/2021/03/Interim-Guidance-to-K-12School-Reopening.pdf. Highlights include: • The Centers for Disease Control now generally recommends a minimum of 3 feet of distance between students, 6 feet of distance between adults and others, and during special scenarios (singing, meal time) it recommends 6 feet. Distancing on school buses is also important, but the language is more general. For instance, it says, “create distance” rather than a specific number of feet. • The CDC recommends that during high community transmission, middle/high schools that don’t use cohorting should keep 6 feet of distancing between students. (A cohort or pod is a distinct group that stays together throughout the entire school day during in-person learning, or over the course of any pre-determined period of time, so that there is minimal or no interaction between groups.) The Virginia recommendation is that, in general, cohorting be implemented when possible and “In middle and high schools, students should be at least 3 feet apart in areas of low, moderate or substantial community transmission. During high transmission, consider a minimum of 6 feet distance standard for middle and high school students when cohorting is not possible.” The guidelines balance the goal of getting kids back in school with the goal of preventing disease transmission.

headquartered in Charlottesville. However, the Old Town Warrenton building that currently serves as The Fauquier Bank headquarters will not close and will still house bank offices along with a retail banking branch, Bogan said. “We have no plans to leave the downtown [Warrenton] market,” he said. Although there has been “some interest over the years” from
in school. “I see a huge difference. He comes home excited, opening his backpack to show me things.” She said she is comfortable having him back in the classroom. “I trust that they are OK. I have talked to the staff about it.” She said Kellen does not ride the bus. “The schools asked parents who could to drive their kids to school. That was an easy decision. I have no excuse not to drive him to school.” She stressed that Greenville has been doing a great job keeping the students safe. “When I drop him off, I see that they keep the kids distanced. When they are outside in the nice weather, it’s easier.” She said she gives the teachers a lot of grace and believes that they and the administrators are making the best decisions they can. “They are trying to do what’s best.” She admitted that trying to learn remotely last school year was difficult. In the pharmaceutical field, she has been working from home; conference calls were often interrupted by calls from the other room, “Mommy!” She said she’d have to step away from a call “because Kellen’s microphone would stop working or he wouldn’t know how to do something. It was exhausting. I don’t know how some parents did it.” Feeling like she was being pulled in too many directions, she said. “I was very busy. The work world did not stop for us.” She remembered her husband Jason saying about remote learning, “This is a lot.” And Kane acknowledged that many of her co-workers were going through the same difficulties. “Some just had babies and you could hear them crying … I think that it brought us closer together.” Kane knows the teachers who have children had it even rougher. “This is first grade. All the kids are jittering in their seats. These teachers have to have a lot of caffeine in the morning to keep up,” she joked. Looking ahead, Kane said she’d like to have both of her sons at the same school, but is not sure whether or not Kellen will make the switch to Highland at some point. “Kellen is a social butterfly. He is still young, so we have time to navigate that.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

But there are no immediate plans to vacate the building, he emphasized.

Kindergarten registration available April 5 to 9 Parents of children who turn 5 years old on or before Sept. 30 can register their children for kindergarten between April 5 to 9. Fauquier County Public School kindergarten registration can be completed any time before the beginning of school in the fall, but registering early gives the school division an opportunity to plan for enrollment, form relationships with families and assess student needs. The online portion of the kindergarten registration process may be completed at www.fcps1.org. (Click on the “Enroll” button.) It can also be completed at the school. Between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on any of the five days, a parent or guardian may visit the school the child will attend to show remaining paperwork. (Some schools may require the child’s presence at the time of registration; parents should check with the school.) The following documents must be presented when registering: • Photo ID of parent/guardian • Original birth certificate (If the parent or guardian is unable to provide the original, an affidavit may be completed explaining why the birth certificate is not available.) • Custody papers (if applicable)
• Two forms of proof of residency (housing contract, rental agreement, property tax bill, deed, mortgage statement or utility bill). A driver’s license is not acceptable proof of residency. If the child’s registration is completed before July 1, an annual online registration form must also be completed during the summer. After July 1, kindergarten and annual registration are completed at the same time. A Commonwealth of Virginia school entrance health form, signed by a physician, must be submitted to the school nurse for review before the first day of school.

“Typical peers” are pre-schoolers who serve as role models in a developmentally appropriate Early Childhood Special Education preschool program hosted at one of five Fauquier County elementary schools (Brumfield, Miller, Pearson, Pierce and Walter). Each ECSE classroom can have up to four typical peers, according to a press release from Fauquier County Public Schools. Each child being considered for a typical peer position must be at least 3 ½ years old by Sept. 30 and must pass a developmental screening that looks at all areas of development. Screenings will be administered this spring by the ECSE teachers for the classroom in which the child may be placed. The typical peer program is five days per week, from 8:35 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. The ECSE classrooms follow the FCPS school calendar. Parents of children who are screened as typical peers will be notified about whether or not their child is selected to participate in the program for 2021-2022 by Friday, May 21. The Typical Peer Program will start in September. The cost for participation in the typical peer program is $1,500 per year, with payments of $500 due on Aug. 30, Dec. 10, and March 11, 2022. Parents

Periodical cicadas spend 17 years developing underground while feeding on plant roots. This spring, when the soil 8 inches under the surface reaches 64 degrees, Brood X will emerge from the earth en masse. Expect to see them locally in early- to mid-May, said Eric Day, a Virginia Tech entomologist with the Virginia Cooperative Extension. “That’s when you’ll start to see them coming out of the ground and climbing trees. They’re very synchronized. So, when the soil temperature reaches 64 degrees, the party starts,” Day said. The cicadas will peak in early June and are expected to be completely gone by the end of the month, Day said. Experts agree that the coming Brood X periodical cicadas will emerge in Fauquier County, but some areas will see more than others. “There are probably some areas where the volume is just going to be outrageous. And then in some areas, people will be asking, ‘Where are they?’” Day said. Day predicts that numbers will vary wildly: “It’ll range anywhere from just hundreds per acre to 1.5 million cicadas per acre.” “The areas that have been continuously wooded, essentially, will have cicadas,” he said. Northern reaches of the county, he added, will “likely see a fairly heavy number of cicadas.” Ciro Monaco Jr., entomologist in the Prince William County Department of Public Works Mosquito and Forest Pest Management Branch, agreed. “There’s a good chance that at least some areas will see activity. Land disturbance caused by development across the county [Prince William] over the past 17 years could significantly impact what we observe this year,” he said.
‘Shockingly loud’ and mostly harmless – except to young trees
After they emerge, cicadas will immediately be drawn to treetops where choirs of males sing to attract females. “The singing can be just, really, really to the point that you can’t even hear yourself think. They can be shockingly loud,” Day said. After mating, females will make splits in slender, 1/4- to 3/8-inch tree branches where they deposit their eggs. The egg-laying process can damage small branches, causing them to wilt, turn brown, and even fall off the tree. This is called flagging. “Mature trees are not at risk. They’ll certainly have some minor flagging damage on smaller branches, but it’s the younger trees that we’re worried about, those that are less than 6 feet tall,” said Nancy Berlin, a natural resource specialist and the master gardener coordinator for Virginia Cooperative Extension. Because flagging on young trees can be deadly, Berlin recommends delaying planting any new trees until the fall. To protect existing young trees, Berlin suggests covering them in

Cicadas bury their eggs in small tree branches, resulting in damage known as “flagging.” fabric or netting. Finely woven netting, cheesecloth, or even sheer curtains placed loosely around the tree and secured with twine at the bottom will ensure cicadas can’t make it up the trunks, Berlin said. Chemical sprays generally don’t work against cicadas but could harm beneficial insects, and, therefore, are not recommended, Berlin said.
‘Like aliens from space’
Other than minor tree damage, cicadas pose few threats to people, animals or the environment. “There’s no need to worry … [because cicadas] have minimal impact on forest health and do not pose a public health risk. Cicadas don’t bite, sting or spread disease. Other than being a bit of a nuisance for a few weeks, they really are harmless,” Monaco said. Because they come around only every 17 years, periodical cicadas have their fans. The best way to cope with the impending Brood X might be to plan how you will enjoy this rare biological phenomenon, especially with kids. Day explained that cicadas make exit burrows as they anticipate their departure from the ground that are perfect for observing. “Starting in April, we’ll start seeing holes in the ground. By watching those holes, you can witness them starting to make their planned exit after all these years,” Day said. Nancy Vehrs, president of the Prince William Wildflower Society, a chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society, says kids love seeing cicadas because they “look like aliens from space.” She suggests taking kids outside to “watch them emerge from the ground and crawl up the trees.” “It is also cool to find the exoskeletons on shrubs and examine how they shed their skin,” she added. In his blog, “Capital Naturalist,” master naturalist Alonso Abugattas suggests enjoying periodical cicadas on your dinner plate. “Cicadas are gluten-free, low in fat, low-carb, rich in protein (the same pound for pound as beef). They’ve been grilled, skewered, steamed, barbecued, blanched, boiled and used in cocktails,” he writes. “[W]ith a bit of Old Bay,” he adds, “they really do taste like seafood.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ gmail.com.

William Polk appointed as Remington’s mayor POLK, from page 1
opportunities for Remington is the establishment of access to the Rappahannock River just outside town limits, at the county-owned Rector Tract. A second, larger parcel, the future Rappahannock Station Park, will also be a draw for the town, he said. The council is working to get the speed limit reduced on James Madison Street near the river access point, he said, and has been exploring the possibility of adding sidewalks in the area as more residents walk or bike to the river – and more out-oftowners come to Remington. “I think the town is going to be a popular place because of the river,” he said. Devada Allison, who until last month had served as the town’s vice mayor, was also in the running to fill the mayoral role. The motion to appoint Allison as mayor failed on a 2-3 vote, with Allison and Councilman Evan “Skeet” Ashby the only “ayes.” Allison resigned his seat on town council after the March 15 vote, explaining in an interview “it was time to move on and focus on some other things in my life.” After eight years on town council, he said, “I enjoyed my time serving on council and I’m proud we got a lot accomplished and got things moving in the right direction. … I want to see the town prosper and succeed.”
Polk, retired from a career at IBM, has lived in Remington for about 40 years, he said Tuesday. He served two terms on the Remington Town Council in the mid-1980s, chairing the committee to reestablish the town’s police department. He currently serves on the board of directors of the Remington Community Garden. Remington, with a population of about 750 people, is one of three incorporated towns in Fauquier County. Although the mayor chairs town council meetings, he does not have a vote on matters before the council except to break a tie. Polk said council members approached him about becoming the town’s mayor. “I never thought I would get engaged at this level,” he said. He has nevertheless jumped into the role, he said, spending time at town hall to talk to town residents and business owners about the issues important to them and with local organizations – like the Friends of the Rappahannock – whose work affects the town. He also will send out monthly newsletters to keep residents abreast of local goings-on. “I’m just trying to give as much transparency to town government as possible,” he said. “I think people deserve that transparency.” Polk said one of the best near-term

PATH hosts virtual conversation examining the pandemic’s impact on mental health, substance use The PATH Foundation will hold a virtual Community Conversation on Wednesday, April 7, at 7 p.m., focusing on mental health and substance abuse in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This free event, offered on Zoom, is highlighted on the www.pathtobetter.org website for information and registration. Featured speakers are the Rev. Jan Brown and Chris Herren, both with years of personal and professional experience in the recovery community. Herren is the founder of Herren Wellness, an ex-NBA player and recovery advocate. Brown is an addiction educator and founder and executive director of the SpiritWorks Foundation, which supports the recovery community. The event will be moderated by veteran news reporter and editor Randy Rieland, who penned last year’s prize-winning “Opioid Ripples” series in the Fauquier Times. The panel will discuss the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and substance abuse in people of all ages and how to take the first step to getting help. In December of last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 42% of people surveyed reported symptoms of anxiety

or depression, compared to only 11% from January through June of 2019. “The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been far-reaching,” explained Christy Connolly, PATH Foundation president and CEO. “As social distancing and quarantine have become vital tools to control the spread of COVID-19, many folks
have become more vulnerable to loneliness, mental health issues and social isolation. A lot of people need help, and many don’t know where to turn. We’re providing this online discussion to help those in need as well as their family members. It has been a challenging time for all of us.
“It is important, especially now, to be proactive in our approach to mental health, so we can best support our loved ones and our community’s overall wellness,” said Connolly. For more information about the PATH Foundation, visit www.pathforyou.org.

What have we learned from the year-long pandemic? It’s been a year since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. More than a quarter of our county residents have been vaccinated and more are getting “the call” from health district workers every day. As journalists of a small town community paper, we have been occupied with documenting the myriad ways the pandemic has affected our community. We have seen surges in cases followed by increased hospitalizations and deaths. Then we watch as cases drop and the county holds its breath, not knowing if the pause will last. I scour the Virginia Department of Health COVID numbers and post daily updates on our website. Co-workers who still come into our office on Culpeper Street know whether the numbers are up or down by the cheers or groans emanating from my office as I open the VDH webpage each morning. Some of our Facebook followers don’t hesitate to tell me they think we are fearmongering when we report these updates. But when I didn’t post one day, other readers scolded me: “Where’s today’s update? I depend on it. What are you trying to hide?” So, I continue to check the numbers; I continue to calculate percentages; I continue to report. I try to remember that when there is a new case, that means there is a person who can’t go to work for a week or 10 days, and that person may be feeling ill. And they might be scared. When I see a hospitalization on the chart, I know that there is someone – often an elderly person – who is lying alone in a bed while
ROBIN EARL MANAGING EDITOR FAUQUIER TIMES their children and grandchildren remain outside the hospital walls and worry. When I record a fatality, I know that person may have died alone, or with only an exhausted hospital nurse to say goodbye. I want to be able to look back one day, to see the patterns reflected in the numbers and remember the ebb and flow of this year. We have seen businesses crushed, and then – as many figured out new ways to do business – revive, and even thrive. Roll Out Warrenton, the brilliant idea to open Main Street parking spots for outdoor dining, gave the community a reason to celebrate. It was a simple idea, but required a tremendous effort by town staff and the restaurants themselves. And it worked. The farmers markets, reimagined first as drive-thrus, then walk-bys in roomier spaces, also required out-of-the-box thinking and were welcomed by residents. One of my jobs is to cover the schools, and this was especially painful. I listened, notebook in hand, as parents addressed school board members and the school superintendent, pleading for them to open schools at one meeting and begging them to keep classes virtual at the next. The two factions
were equally passionate, and the school board listened night after night with empathy. They were accused of being incompetent and uncaring; they were badgered and berated. I can only imagine what their inboxes looked like. They endured it. They understood their constituents’ frustration and tried to do what was best for their students and their staff. I watched as they struggled to manage an impossible situation. Teachers and administration pivoted from one learning solution to another, only to have the pandemic rise up again and spoil their plans. There is optimism now, as twothirds of elementary school children are back in schools four days a week, and their older brothers and sisters will return after spring break. The sports pages of the Fauquier Times are crowded with game coverage again, and on gloriously sunny afternoons, the music of the high school marching bands sounds especially joyful as they return to the fields. I hope the optimism survives whatever the pandemic has left to throw at us. I’ll continue to follow the numbers and hope vaccinations win over variants and that we can prevent another long and painful surge. As we wait to learn if COVID-19 has another smack-down in store, I’d like to know what you all have learned in the past year. Have your priorities shifted? What has changed, in your work life, your relationships, and do you think the changes will stick? Did you learn how to bake or crochet? Did you master Zoom?
Who is Congressman Bob Good for? I read Miriam Anver’s letter to the editor last week (“Representative is Good in name only”) concerning Rep. Bob Good (R-5th) and his vote against honoring the Capitol policemen. He was one of only 12 members in the entire House of Representatives to vote against the House Resolution to award its highest honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, to the Capitol Police for their service during the Jan. 6 insurrection. This prompted me to see what else Mr. Good has been up to. It turns out, not a lot. In his brief time in Congress, Rep. Good has voted: • Against improving working conditions and wages for farm workers (H.R. 1603: Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021. This bill contains provisions related to alien farmworkers, including establishing a certified agricultural worker status. Among other goals, the law would change the method for calculating the minimum wage for these workers and require employers to guarantee minimum work hours.) • Against sustaining the fund to assist
crime victims in their recovery (H.R. 1652 would sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act of 2021. Reauthorizing the law would also address child abuse prevention and treatment.) • Against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act • Against safeguarding all voter’s rights (H.R. 1, the For the People Act of 2021. The bill aims to expand Americans’ access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics and strengthen ethics rules for public servants.) • Against extending bankruptcy relief due to COVID-19 for small businesses (Good was one of 14 Republicans casting a “nay” vote on H.R. 1603: COVID-19 Bankruptcy Relief Extension Act). If he is against farm workers, crime victims, women, children, voters and small business, what does that leave? What is Bob Good for? Evidently not the American people, or the citizens of the Virginia Fifth Congressional District. JENNIFER COATES Casanova
What are you looking forward to? And what are you eager to leave behind? I became a grandmother for the first time seven months into the pandemic. We waited at home while he was born, unable to offer support or congratulations – knowing that my son and his wife were navigating the most important event of their lives alone. At Christmas, the baby’s aunt – home for the holidays from Alaska -- couldn’t hold him; she could only wave at him from across the backyard. Our family couldn’t share my grandson’s third month on earth because we had to quarantine from him during and after her visit. Minor inconveniences, I know, compared with what some had to endure: sickness without comfort, deaths without funerals. I’ve also witnessed unbelievable resiliency and kindness over the last year. The folks who worked tirelessly to feed children that couldn’t go to school; teenagers who learned to sew so they could make masks for their neighbors; the organizers of drive-thru birthday parades; the health care workers who facilitated FaceTime visits with loved ones and who held the hands of strangers as they fought the virus. And of course, the EMTs and nurses who are manning the barricades at vaccine clinics, helping to kick the coronavirus to the curb. Help me see how we are going to come out of this crisis wiser and stronger. Send stories you’d like to share to me at rearl@fauquier.com. Robin Earl is the managing editor of the Fauquier Times.
Lessons learned from Fauquier Times series on Black history I am writing to you in response to an article in your newspaper titled “‘The other Wesley’ rose from slavery and inspired a legacy of teachers.” I commend you for recognizing the importance of Black history and how it has impacted the lives of Charles Lewis and the students he teaches. I think it is important to note the inequalities that Wesley Washington experienced throughout his life as a slave and as a soldier because those inequalities are still impacting the lives of African Americans today. Highlighting these things may help some people realize that these inequalities are still as prevalent today as they were in history and that a change needs to be made. The section of this article that got my attention most was when Charles Lewis had the discussion with a colleague about unequal opportunities for black and brown rural students to have a black teacher. Having a teacher who represents the same ethnic background as you could help the students connect with someone who has experienced the same things. This could build a foundation of trust that not all students may have with their teachers. This was a great article that highlighted many important things about Black history and the impact that it has had on Charles Lewis and his community. ANNA REED Bealeton

Why I trust the COVID vaccines
Response to mass shootings: gun laws
By Colin M. Greene, M.D., MPH
This letter is written from my heart, which is currently breaking for all the families of the people murdered in Atlanta [Georgia] and Boulder [Colorado]. I am saddened that our leaders continue to only worry about themselves and staying in office instead of doing what is needed and right by taking actions that could help prevent (or at least lessen) these incidents of senseless killing due to lax gun laws. Yes, folks indoctrinated by the NRA are screaming that others want to take away their Second Amendment rights. Those words are just hollow, self-serving and false. Why is legislation such as nationwide background checks for both commercial and private sales so onerous to some people? If you’re purchasing a gun for legitimate purposes, why does this pose such a problem? What is so terrible about filling out some paperwork or having to wait a few extra days to complete the purchase? I’m not against hunting or any other legitimate reason to own/use a gun; those activities make sense. But someone who is not legally eligible to own a gun, being able to buy a gun on a whim or owning a military-type weapon due to the lack of a national policy is insane. Here are a few facts to consider, as taken from a CNN report originally published in 2017 and updated twice since then -- most recently, in August 2019 (https:// www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/americas/ us-gun-statistics/index.html).

Although other countries have experienced mass shooting, it is only the U.S. that deals with this horror over and over again. • Many of the U.S. mass shootings from Florida to Pittsburgh to Nevada to Colorado to California and beyond involved semi-automatic type weapons, not the type of guns most people think of as being used for hunting. I know this is just one letter written by someone concerned about public safety and, more importantly, so very sorry for the ongoing loss of life due to guns ending up in the wrong hands. I hope others will join me in demanding changes in gun safety legislation to protect us all and, most importantly, our loved ones. The renewal of the assault weapon ban and imposing nationwide universal background checks and waiting periods would be an excellent start. KIRSTEN KING Warrenton
Capitol riot comments show prejudice Since Saturday, June 20, and for every Saturday thereafter, local residents have peacefully gathered at 10 a.m. for a Black Lives Matter Vigil. There has been no disturbance other than an occasional driver yelling in opposition to or in support for their cause. It is both remarkable and heartening. This is why I took particular offense when I learned of the recent, egregious public statements of Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) characterizing the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters as patriots and the Black Live Matters protestors as dangerous. Johnson said he didn’t feel threatened because the protestors were people who “love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, [and] would never do anything to break the law.” I have a hard time wrapping my head around his statement. The protestors would never do anything to break the law? They broke the law! A lot of them! As of this date, over 350 people have been charged, some may be charged with sedition. Sedition doesn’t suggest love of country. Quite the contrary. Furthermore, does crushing through barricades, breaking in and vandalizing a building that more than any other epitomizes democracy suggest love of country? Does chanting “Hang Mike Pence” suggest love of country? Does using
bear-spray on a Capitol police officer before assaulting and killing him suggest respect for law enforcement? None of that does to this American. As fellow Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri said on Meet the Press in denouncing Johnson’s comments, “We don’t need to try and explain away or come up with alternative versions. We all saw what happened.” Indeed. What happened at the Capitol -- a scene played out on television that alarmed not only people in this country, but people around the world -- didn’t alarm Johnson, who instead asserted that he would have felt more threatened had the protestors been made up of BLM or antifa protestors. Why? Johnson has said that of the 7,750 protests last summer -- there were actually more than 10,000 — 570 of them turned violent. The 570 number is misleading, as it refers to all violent or destructive demonstrations occurring in the U.S. between May and August 2020, not just the BLM protests. He says his numbers largely came from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, a nonprofit data and collection analysis project. Johnson seems to be suggesting See PREJUDICE, page 27

‘I AM SUPER PROUD OF YOU’ Falcons stun Cougars 3-2 in shootout, allowing Liberty to repeat as district field hockey champs By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Liberty will be the No. 1 seed for next week’s Northwestern District field hockey tournament. The Eagles and Kettle Run had been neck and neck for the top position, and a tiebreaker for first place loomed. Until Monday, when fifth-place Fauquier played its finest game of the season to end Kettle Run’s hopes with a thrilling 3-2 win in a shootout. Regulation play ended 2-2 at Falcon Field and neither team could score in a 15-minute sudden-victory overtime session. Fauquier sophomore Jackie Timberlake, the Falcons’ second shooter, was the lone scorer, sending a reverse stick shot into the cage. Falcon goalie Erin Irvin turned away all five Cougar attempts. “I am super proud of you,” coach Brooke Settle told her shorthanded team, which was was missing multiple players away on spring break. The Falcons (2-6) avenged an earlier 1-0 overtime loss at Kettle Run. Kettle Run’s loss clinched the regular-season title for Liberty, which finished 6-2. Kettle Run is 4-3 and faced Culpeper (2-5) Tuesday, needing to win to hold off Geroge Mason (5-3) the district’s No. 2 seed. Kettle Run struck first on an Aubrey Kearns goal 5:35 into the game. Fauquier, which applied pressure for most of the second and third periods, knotted the score at 1-1 on Abby McCusker’s goal with 11:54 to play in the second period. Fauquier took its first lead at 2-1 when Zofeya Maldonado found the cage from the left side with 7:55 left in the third. Feeling the urgency, Kettle Run restarted its

Fauquier looks to end Bird Bowl woes and make it two in a row over Liberty By Peter Brewington
J.T. Diehl (left) and the Falcons (2-3) will try to end a 17-game Bird Bowl losing streak to Liberty Friday in Bealeton at 7 p.m. Fauquier beat Liberty 21-14 on March 1 but has since lost three in a row. Liberty (1-4) has lost three in a row since beating Culpeper on March 6. “I don’t think anyone’s happy with our record right now,” says Liberty coach Travis Buzzo.
Times Staff Writer
Two huge, disappointing losses last week have left the Liberty (14) and Fauquier (2-3) football teams with one huge consolation prize: Friday’s 27th annual Bird Bowl. The county rivals meet Friday at Liberty at 7 p.m. to renew a rivalry that began in 1994 with Fauquier winning 27-0. The series turned dramatically in the last two decades with the Eagles winning 17 in a row and leading the Bird Bowl series 22-4. That said, Fauquier edged Liberty 21-14 back on March 1 in a game that was not considered a Bird Bowl, so Liberty’s streak of 17 straight Bird Bowl victories remains intact. Liberty won last season’s Bird Bowl 42-12 (played in 2019). This is the first time since 2007 that the schools have played twice in the regular season. Both teams carry three-game losing streaks into the game. With a playoff berth essentially on the line, Liberty (1-4) fell to Han-

FALCONS ON CUSP OF DISTRICT TITLE AFTER DOWNING COUGARS By Fred Hodge
Entering Tuesday, the Fauquier High volleyball squad needs one win or rival’s loss to claim the Northwestern District regular-season title and become the top seed for next week’s postseason tournament. The Falcons are 6-0 and hold a two-game lead in the loss column over Kettle Run (5-2) and Handley (42). Fauquier hosted Handley Tuesday night in a contest too late to be included in this edition, then finishes at Liberty Thursday in the regular-season finale. Fauquer scored another big win over the Cougars last week, pulling out a 25-17, 18-25, 25-18, 25-21 at Kettle Run, which was trying to force a tie for first place. “Anytime we play Kettle Run, it’s more of a mental game than anything,” said Fauquier coach Diana Story. “The girls have to understand the significance of the mind game and be ready to play. It’s a big difference than any other match. They are our crosstown rivals, and we want to beat them.” Story felt her team needed to play well in the opening set to prevent early Kettle Run momentum on its home court. The Falcons met that assignment. Setter Dani Lawhorn was the match’s opening server, scoring four points. Kettle Run never led, but the Cougars narrowed an earlier five-point gap to two at 15-13. A rally point made the score 16-13 and brought Emma Carter to service line. Two Caroline Towle kills and a pair of Cougar hitting errors led to a five-point surge and a 21-14 lead. Lana Roda later served the final two points. Kettle Run honored its large senior class prior to the match. Coach Mike Howard agreed his players might have been trying too hard, pointing to eight hitting errors just in the first set. “As much as I talked about not letting your emo-

HonestFAUQUIER 6-0 ly, that was one of the KETTLE RUN 5-2 better matches we’ve Handley 4-2 played all year.” LIBERTY 1-5 The coach cited Culpeper 0-7 strong performances at the net. In the first encounter, senior Emma Carter had success hitting down the sideline, but Kettle Run assembled a strong block to shut off that option. “Emma got frustrated, but she channeled that frustration,” Story said. “She and I had a conversation to see where she could go. Then it was a whole new ballgame. “Once we saw that sharp crosscourt shot was wide open, the look on her face was pure joy,” the coach said. Story said the Falcons had success in the shallow middle, returned to spikes down the line and nullified a portion of some Kettle Run tactics. Story also credited her middle hitters for their play in the important victory. “Skyler (Furr) really stepped up and made a huge difference in the middle once she settled into the game. And Laney Weyman has continued to make plays for us throughout the season,” the coach added, and praised how Lawhorn ran the offense as the setter.. Carter’s four points led to a 5-2 margin to open the third set. Three more points by Weyman and four from Roda upped Fauquier’s lead to 15-5. The Cougars whittled at the gap, with Caroline Sapp and Schaefer combining for four points to narrow the count to 23-18 before Roda served out the set.

Kettle Run regrouped for the second set, unleashing its own service attack. Faith Schaefer’s four points gave her unit a 7-5 edge before three-point service runs by Kate Pohlmann and Cassie Perino raised the Cougars’ lead to 22-18. Mattie Heflin recorded the final two points, the second coming off a Perino kill. Each team had altered their game plans based upon review of their earlier battle. The changes caused teams tomake further in-game adjustments. “We do that nightly, but that’s more evident some nights than others. The girls knew what was

HOME SWEET HOME ‘Any slip-ups and IMPROVEMENTS you’re not moving along’ Pandemic rules mean fewer runners advance to regionals By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Whether you are planning to remodel your kitchen, transform your master bath, finish a basement or build an addition, you need more than a contractor. You need a partner you can trust with the possession that says the most about what you value and the way you live.
No one knows who the favorites should be for Saturday’s Northwestern District cross country meet. Making the meet even more interesting, and intense, is that qualifying for regionals will be even tougher with fewer region slots available due to pandemic restrictions. “Any little slip-ups, you’re not moving along. We’re going to have to be at the top of our game,” said Fauquier coach Quentin Jones about Saturday’s district championships at the Third Battle of Winchester Battlefield in Frederick County. Only the top two teams and top six runners will advance to regionals. Normally, almost all the teams in the district and region see each other during the season at large invitational meets. The Virginia High School League banned those events this season due to the pandemic,
complicating predictions for the eight-team district. James Wood, Millbrook and Sherando did not compete in winter district sports but are running Saturday. “We haven’t all run together yet. It’s hard to say who’s going to take the titles,” Jones said. “It’s going to be tough moving on,” Jones reiterated. “I tell my kids just focus on being a little bit better each and every day. Then we’ll see what happens.” The southern half of the district ran at Fauquier March 24. Fauquier’s girls were first among the four schools competing, while Liberty was the top boys squad. The Falcon girls won with 29 points, followed by Kettle Run (34) and Culpeper (70). Liberty did not have the required five runners for a team score. The Liberty boys edged Fauquier, 29-35, followed by Kettle Run (78) and Culpeper (100). See CROSS COUNTRY, page 29
Bailey’s back, but Eagles fall to Judges 14-13 By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Design Build Remodel 540.439.8890 HomeSweetHomeImprovements.com
The return of strong-armed quarterback Dylan Bailey from an ankle injury revived the Liberty offense a little, but not enough in Saturday’s 14-13 loss to Handley in Winchester. Bailey was on a snap count after being cleared on Friday and rotated with Sammy Marouse. Bailey started the first series and looked sharp, completing 2-of-3 passes for 15 yards before getting sacked twice with the drive stalling. Bailey finished 9-for-18 and 100 yards and reminded fans of his rocket arm with some strong accurate throws, including a 37-yard incompletion that would have been a sure touchdown. Marouse played about half the snaps and was 4-for-6 for 48 yards. A win would have put the Eagles on track for a playoff berth. InVOLLEYBALL, from page 24 Fauquier kept the momentum to start the fourth set, as Lawhorn scored four points for another 5-2 start. Towle later used two Furr kills and one by Carter for four points and a 14-8 margin. The Cougars countered with Pohlmann’s three points on two ball handling errors and a Schaefer kill to close the gap to 1713, but the Cougars could draw no closer. Carter delivered match point with a hit down the left sideline.
What happens with Handley?
Kettle Run travels to Handley Thursday for a match that might
stead, it clinched Liberty’s second losing season in the last 21 years. Liberty went 4-6 in 2016. “I don’t think anyone’s happy with our record right now. Basically we had a lead in every game. Realistically, we’re four plays away from being 4-1,” said coach Travis Buzzo, citing winnable losses to Fauquier, Goochland and Handley. “Our biggest thing is we’re so young,” he said of Liberty’s lineup this year. Against Handley, Liberty led 7-0 thanks to a 5-yard touchdown run by Royce Hall with 4:10 left in the second quarter. Handley tied it at 7-7 midway through the third quarter on a 19-yard pass from Aidan Haines to Jayden Vardaro. Liberty went up 13-7 late in the third when Mason Gay hit a hole on the right side and sprinted 76 yards for the go-ahead score. The extra point kick was blocked. See FOOTBALL, page 29 have implications for second place and a tournament semifinal home match. “I think that our confidence dropped because we have not played that poorly all season,” Howard said of the second loss to FHS. “It was a culmination of a perfect storm of errors. I was surprised that it snowballed into what happened.” Meanwhile, the Falcons cannot afford to relax with Handley on tap Tuesday. Fauquier won in four sets earlier in Winchester. “Thursday was huge, but we need to be ready for Handley,” Story stressed. “They have a solid team.”

Champion jockey warms up for what he hopes is a repeat season at Airlie Historic second-chance Warrenton Hunt Point-to-Point offered Sunday By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Last year’s National Steeplechase Association champion rider Gerard Galligan was was home in Ireland, riding the winter circuit, during the first Warrenton Hunt Point-to-Point two weeks ago, but he was grateful for a second chance when the club hosted an unprecedented second meet of the season on Sunday. Galligan called the open and rolling racecourse one of the best on the circuit. “I really like the way the fences ride” on both the hurdle and timber courses, Galligan said. “It’s a great course” for prepping younger horses
The Dalton family had a successful day at Airlie, with husband-jockey Bernie Dalton winning two races, including this one aboard Western Crusader. Both winners were saddled by trainerwife Kate Dalton. PREJUDICE, from page 21 that any violence that occurred at BLM protests was instigated by the protestors. ACLED, however, says Johnson is not accurately representing the group’s data. According to ACLED, BLM protests were met with police intervention twice as often as right-wing demonstrations. Furthermore, police used force 51% of the time at BLM events and 33% at right-wing events. Therefore, a significant amount of the violence at the demonstrations between May and August 2020 resulted from police intervention. ACLED does not identify instigators; that is an assumption on
inexperienced at the level as well as a gentle start to the season for older veterans. He got a chance to prove both points, winning the open hurdle with veteran handicapper Noah and the Ark for Todd McKenna and his Keystone Thoroughbreds. Galligan also partnered Jeremy Batoff’s first-time timber starter Elucidation to win the novice for trainer Willie Dowling. The three-mile route was just right for Elucidation to learn to modify his jumping form from the faster, more efficient hurdle style to the more athletic timber style, Galligan said.. The race almost ended early for the entire five-horse field. At the second jump, another hurdle convert, multiple stakes-winner Boss Man, refused to take the fence entirely. He was in front of the others when it happened. All four careened into him “like cars in a chain-reaction accident on an icy interstate,” said patrol judge Wayne Eastham. It was a slow-motion accident, with no riders nor horses injured. “Just surprised,” Galligan said. Once they got going again, Elucidation jumped with increasing confidence over the solid stacked rail obstacles. He collared early leader Huyana (Eddie Keating up) at the wire for a half-length score. It was the first time Galligan had ridden the horse, Irish-bred like his trainer and rider. “He jumps like a bunny rabbit,” he said. “Real athletic, real efficient.” Trainer Dowling had purchased Elucidation for $20,000 out of a claiming hurdle race at the Oct. 24 International Gold Cup meet at Great Meadow. Claiming races – also called selling races – are uncommon on the circuit, Johnson’s part, an assumption rooted in prejudice, not fact. Johnson’s comments are irresponsible and purposefully inflammatory. That seems to be his modus operandi. He continues to question the legitimacy of our recent election, Russian interference in the election, climate change, and the U.S. handling of COVID-19. Johnson’s reckless and unsubstantiated theories not only undermine our institutions, they undermine our democracy. Johnson’s assertions promote fear and fear breeds division. We deserve better from all our elected officials. SUE BEAN-EDWARDS Warrenton

Last year’s champion jockey on the National Steeplechase Association circuit, Gerard Galligan won two races at Sunday’s Warrenton Hunt Point-to-Point, including this one on first-time timber starter Elucidation.. replaced by the ratings system that ranks horses on an imaginary, comparative comparative scale. Ratings ensure competitive racing but doesn’t place horses at a risk of being “sold” out of a race. “You don’t see many horses actually claimed out of those races,” Galligan said of the bold purchase by Batoff and Dowling last fall. They liked what they’d seen in the young hurdler, thinking he might excel over timber. “Fair’s fair – the horse was offered for a price. Willie Dowling knew what he was looking at when he put in that claim. This is a very nice horse.” The claiming price of $20,000 – and the claim itself – raised eyebrows, but as Galligan pointed out after the powerful victory, “it looks like a bargain now.”
Double wins for Daltons
Western Crusader has been something of a puzzle since he came off the flat track 18 months ago, said trainer Kate Dalton, but the regally bred son of champion sire English Channel at last put his natural speed and innate jumping ability together for his first hurdle victory Sunday. The bay gelding had won two of 10 starts on the flat at Woodbine in his native Canada then swapped to jumping last year. He made his hurdle debut at the 2020 Warrenton point-to-point, but was up the track that day, and then failed to inspire at the rescheduled Virginia Gold Cup
meet last June or the International Gold Cup races in October. Dalton’s husband, Bernie, knew the horse had talent, and he patiently waited for the now-6-year-old to “figure it out,” he said. “As they say about horses like they say about some people, some are brighter than others,” Dalton said. “It’s taken him a year to work it out. But I’d say, he’s got it now.” Dalton kept Western Crusader tucked mid-field in the two-mile maiden hurdle, reserving off the early lead of Princeville (Sophie Henelius.) That pair jumped the last as a team, with Western Crusader edging Princeville by a half-length at the wire. Dalton also partnered Peggy Steinman homebred Deposit to win on the turf, part of a Steinman triple. Apprentice Sara Katz teamed with Steinman homebred Wildcat to win the card closer on the turf, with apprentice Sophie Henelius riding Steinman’s Marvari to win a division of the maiden hurdle. All three are trained in The Plains by Doug Fout. Jump racing resumes Saturday, April 3 for the Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point at the Ben Venue racecourse west of Warrenton. Entries are strong for the 10-race card that includes hurdle, timber, turf and side-saddle races. Complete ODH entries, Warrenton results and more photos are at centralentryoffice.com.

Todd passed away peacefully at home on March 24, 2021 after an extended illness with cancer, surrounded by his immediate family. Todd loved his family and enjoyed being active with his sons in youth sports and making sure they had the best of everything for every sport, he made sure they had everything they could want as young boys including ATV’s, Dirt bikes, electric guitars, they named it and he made sure he got it. He was a diehard Green Bay Packers fan and he made sure from the very beginning that his family loved the Packers too. He was a very skilled electrician since the age of eighteen when he started in the trade with R. Archie Burgess. He took great pride in his work as an electrician, and his hard-working hands showed it. He was the earliest of early birds and loved to start his mornings with History Channel or his all-time favorite show Married with Children. His wonderful laugh and smile will be missed. He was predeceased by his mother Linda (Loggy) Berger. He leaves behind his wife Janet, sons Todd Allen Jr., Austin Edwin and his stepdaughter Casey, stepson William and 3 grandchildren, also his father Harry Loggy, brother Jeff, sister-inlaw Blanca, niece and god daughter Gabriella and nephew Jacob, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends that he considered family, especially the Burgess family.

Scott Walters April 7, 1962 – March 23, 2021 Scott Walters, beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, Scott Walters, 58, passed away peacefully at home on March 23. As was befitting to their life, his loving spouse was by his side. Scott delighted in helping others and celebrating their happiness. He was devoted to his country and led a hero’s life, with a distinguished career in both the United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force (DC Air National Guard) for a total of 34 years of military service. In his civilian life, Scott served through his career at the US Department of State. Scott also served his community through his involvement in the Nottoway Park Community Garden and as the President of his Homeowner’s Association where he especially enjoyed maintaining the neighborhood playground. When asked how he wanted to spend his retirement, he replied, “I just want to help people and make them happy.” His passion for his country was second only to his devotion to his family. His love for his two children, Joseph and Erica, knew no bounds and was evident in everything he did. Nine years ago, Scott met Erica Meadows, and they married in a joyful celebration of their love in May 2018. Although their time together was unfairly short, every day was filled with love and caring, even during challenges such as Scott’s military deployment, subsequent years of illness and COVID quarantine together. Their devotion to each other remains unshakable. True to his Wisconsin roots, Scott loved outdoor adventure. Whether exploring hiking trails, deer hunting, camping or just a picnic in the backyard, he was always happy when he was in nature, especially when he was surrounded by the family and friends he loved so dearly. Scott remained cheerful even in his final days, gracing his loved ones daily with his beautiful smile. He always had warm words of encouragement to offer and a joke to bring out laughter. The memory of his courage, kindness, generosity, and sense of humor will remain in the hearts of all who knew him. Scott is survived by his wife, Erica Meadows; his children, Joseph and Erica (Dave Meier) and their mother, Maria; Erica’s children, Michael (Khanh Mi), Alec (Grace Wagner) and Madeleine (Jackson) Franks; his brother Dean (Paula) Walters and sisters Debbie (Larry) Cashatt, Dawn (Denny) Reckner, Diane Walters, Denise (Tim) Yarie, Doreen (Jimmy) Jasperson, Dana Ohde; Shellee Walters Sabatke, Jonathan Walters, Sherry Walters; and his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joyce and Lawrence Walters. Scott will be laid to rest at a future date at Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to Fisher House at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center – donations@fisherhouse.org or 301-294-8560.

Carroll Sinclair Adams Carroll Sinclair Adams was born on May 21st, 1927, in Washington, D.C, the only child of Lulu Viola Lawson Adams and Carroll S. Adams. Raised on Vermont Street in Arlington, Virginia, he made his home in the Westover neighborhood for most of his adult life, marrying and raising a family there. Carroll and his wife eventually retired to Cross Keys, Village, The Brethren Home Community in New Oxford, Pennsylvania, where he died on March 9th, 2021. He passed while doing what he most loved in his later years holding the hand of his beautiful wife, Cula Mae Messick Adams. The 93 years in between his birth and his death were fully lived. Full of love, adventure, curiosity, family gatherings, endless activity, hugs, puns (good and bad), friends, spirited debates and stories, oh so many stories, most of them related to airplanes, and told to eager listeners he had just met and to those who had heard them a thousand times (but didn’t really mind hearing them again). His adventures started early. At 17, Carroll volunteered to join the United States Navy during WWII, following in his mother’s footsteps, who also served in the Navy during WWI. He was sent to serve in the Pacific theater aboard merchant marine supply ships and later in the occupation of Japan. After receiving an honorable discharge from active duty in 1946, he joined the United States Naval Reserve. He failed to mention this fact to his wife until he was recalled to serve aboard the USS Salem during the Korean conflict, only a few weeks after their wedding in 1950. She was still waiting for him when he returned home, but he chose not to press his luck further, ending his Navy career for a (slightly) more settled life. He remained proud of his service to his country throughout his life, and his family remains proud of him. Carroll will be buried with military honors; his casket draped in the same flag which adorned his mother’s. The adventures which carried him through the rest of his life, however, started a bit earlier. Carroll was born to be an aviator. He arrived on this earth the same day Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris after completing the first nonstop trans-Atlantic flight. As Carroll told the story, his mother, after giving birth, did not ask if he was a boy or a girl, but rather, “did Lindy make it?” more or less sealing Carroll’s fate of a lifetime in and around airplanes. He pursued his passion early, learning to fly at the age of 16 through the Civil Air Patrol, delivering emergency blood supplies for the Red Cross. He occasionally stopped to court his future wife by landing his plane on her parents’ farm (no airfield required) and driving it up the lane to the house. When Carroll could not stop for a visit, he tried dropping flowers, a romantic gesture that almost went wrong when the roses got stuck between the stick and the door, but he managed to pull it off and win her heart. Carroll learned planes, and ultimately jet aircraft, inside and out, becoming an A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) mechanic, eventually instructing A&P courses at what is now Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. With the encouragement and support of his wife, who asked that he stop talking about flying jets and actually do it, the family moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he attended the Spartan School of Aeronautics and acquired the skills to earn his FAA Commercial Pilot License and fly the jumbo jets of the day. And fly them he did, piloting cargo and people around the world for the next 30 years. He proudly flew the big blue ball of Pan American World Airways for 27 years and across five continents, ending his career in 1987 as a first officer flying his favorite jumbo jet, Boeing’s 747. When Carroll wasn’t flying the big planes, he was busy flying, watching, fixing, building, or talking about the small ones. One of his most exciting aviation accomplishments was building a Corben Baby Ace, mainly in the family garage, from plans alone. He painted it International Orange with a Bahama Blue stripe so everyone could see it coming, and he joyfully flew and maintained it for nearly 40 years, donating it in 2015 to the Corben Sport Planes Museum in Georgia. After retiring from Pan Am, he volunteered at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum for over ten years, employing his considerable knowledge in identifying aircraft in pictures and piecing together their histories. He maintained his private pilot’s license and flew into his 80s, was a member of the Silver Wings over Washington Fraternity, and a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association until his death. Carroll is memorialized on The National Air and Space Museum’s Wall of Honor at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA, in recognition of his lifelong passion for flight. Never one to sit still for very long, Carroll nurtured a sense of curiosity throughout his lifetime in pursuits that required skill, craftsmanship, and care. He was an avid gardener famous for his dinner plate dahlias, curtains of moonflowers, prolific roses, chunky sweet tomatoes, and even the occasional weed, which he just thought pretty enough to keep. Carroll was a woodworker, furniture builder, gun builder, model train collector, antique clock restorer, and creator of the most intricate blown Easter egg designs. He never met an engine he didn’t like or couldn’t fix, and through his lifetime, he kept up with the technology advances, frequently facetiming his daughter or checking his aviation weather app on his iPad. Carroll, also known as “Sinny,” “Daddy,” “Papa,” “Grandpa,” or sometimes just “The Airplane Guy,” was a social man who loved a good conversation. He relished being part of a group, whether it be a Christmas gathering in Midland, a Sunday Service at Central United Methodist Church in Arlington, of which he was a lifetime member, or a visit with the neighbors in Cross Keys. Carroll was active in his community, campaigning for candidates and issues aligned with his conservative ideals. He often served as a voting volunteer and guest speaker at local schools where he taught elementary school students how an airfoil works using two air molecules he named “Mike” and “Ike.” Carroll never shied away from politics and usually had a strong opinion he’d be happy to debate, often at a favorite coffee shop, but it always stayed civil, and everyone parted still friends. He genuinely liked people, he enjoyed hearing their stories and sharing his own, and he made fast friends the world over. However, what defined Carroll Sinclair Adams most, and what runs under and through everything that he was and did, was his love of his wife and his children. Carroll and Cula’s love story started in the late 1940s where they met through a mutual friend, and it never stopped evolving through their 71 years together. During that time, through the thick and thin, they forged a bond that was apparent to all who met them, so much so that couples have said how much they want to “be” a Carroll and Cula, to develop that kind of connection in their own marriages. To him, she was “the love of his life,” and to her, he was “the sweetest man on earth.” He always reached for her hand, and she always held his, up until his very last moment. That love does not die with his passing but lives on in his wife, and in his two children and their families, Susan Carol Adams and her husband, Crispin Robinson, and David Lawson Adams and his wife Anne Adams, along with their children and step-children, Christopher, Nicholas, Shaun, Zachary, Joshua, and Lily. “Papa” loved his children and was immensely proud of them and his grandchildren, not just because of their accomplishments but because they “turned out to be good people.” Right back at you, Daddy. You will be missed and forever loved. A celebration of life will be arranged at a later date. The Brethren Home Foundation, in support of The Good Samaritan Fund, welcomes donations in his memory, and may be sent to 2990 Carlisle Pike, New Oxford, PA 17350.

TOWN OF WARRENTON NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Warrenton will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 at 6:30 PM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia, on the following item(s): 2020 COMPLETE UPDATE OF THE TOWN’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - PLAN WARRENTON 2040 The proposed Comprehensive Plan for the future growth and development of the Town will provide guidance for the next 20 years on the Town’s land use patterns, transportation, historic resources, parks, economic and fiscal health, housing, community facilities, desired character and growth by providing an overall vision with objectives and implementation strategies. The proposed Plan provides for new designated “Character Districts,” which include existing Urban Development Areas previously designated as part of the Comprehensive Plan update adopted March 13, 2018. These Character Districts are to be located in the general areas of: Shirley Avenue and Falmouth Street and Old Meetze Road; Old Town, Main Street, Culpeper Street, Waterloo Street, Falmouth Street, Alexandria Pike, and East Lee Street; East Lee Highway, Oak Springs Drive, Broadview Avenue, Fletcher Drive, Winchester Street, and Blackwell Road; and Frost Avenue, Waterloo Road, West Shirley Avenue, and Broadview Avenue; as well as Broadview Avenue between Winchester Street and Frost Avenue. The proposed Comprehensive Plan calls for mixed land uses within these Character Districts to include a diverse range of housing types. The Future Land Use map component of the Comprehensive Plan removes the previous “Live/Work” designated areas and adds the Character Districts. The proposed Future Land Use map also establishes a new “Heritage Area” designation along the Haiti Street neighborhood from North Street to Horner Street, intended to provide flexibility for small-scale neighborhood-oriented land uses and housing types consistent with the historic development pattern of the neighborhood. Transportation is projected to embrace multimodal solutions throughout the Town. The Town Council’s public hearing will be open to the public and persons attending will be expected to adhere to the current legal requirements and guidelines to address the COVID-19 pandemic including wearing face coverings and practicing physical distancing. Seating will be limited in accordance with the current guidelines.
