Fauquier High School remembers shock, confusion – then unity – on Sept. 11, 2001 By Christopher Connell

Veteran teacher Dave Smith had risen before dawn that September morning to prepare what he called “News Notes” to spark discussions among the seniors in his U.S. government classes. The choice for the Sept. 11, 2001, Compendium of Civic and Political Developments class was easy. It was primary day in New York City, to choose a successor to Mayor Rudy Giuliani. His classroom was in the school annex. When the phone rang in his small office, “I thought it was the principal but it was my older son, Joey, who’s an electrician. He said, ‘Dad, I’m alright.’ I said, ‘That’s wonderful.’ “‘I was supposed to go to the Pentagon this morning but they sent me to the Naval Yard in-
stead,’ he said. I still had no clue. ‘You don’t know what I’m talking about? Turn on the TV.’ I had gone through one entire class without knowing anything that was going on,” said Smith. News of the earlier attacks on the World Trade Center had reached the front office, but there had been no school-wide announcement yet. “It’s kind of like it was yesterday,” said Kraig Kelican, then assistant principal and now principal. “I got to school about 6:30 (a.m.) and did the normal things – answer emails and go through some paperwork -- then we started outside duty, talking to and greeting kids as they were coming into the building. It was such a gorgeous day,” Kelican said. The principal and his team gathered for a regular weekly meeting during the first block of classes.

The limousine driver had not turned the radio on as he drove the Moreau family from Herndon to Arlington National Cemetery that morning for the funeral of retired Navy Chief Petty Officer and systems engineer Raymond Moreau. His son Ray – at age 62, still “Little Ray” to his family – was in the limo, on his way to saying a last goodbye to his father. The first inkling that something was amiss was when he noticed a former coworker of his dad’s holding a radio to his ear as they walked to the chapel. “What are you listening to – the game?” the son quipped.

New cases of coronavirus
Virginia: 2,007 Tuesday; 788,917 to date Fauquier: 10 Tuesday; 5,807 cases to date Perspective: The seven-day average of new cases in the state is 3,212. Although it has dropped from 3,423 since Friday, it had been steadily rising since June 20, when it was 129.
Seven-day positivity average (total PCR tests vs. positive tests) Virginia: 10% Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District: 9.2%
In the school division
Positive cases since school opened on Aug. 11: 228; 168 in children, 60 in staff Quarantined: 443 students, 17 staff (as of Sept. 2) Perspective: Ninety-nine people came off the “active” cases list over the holiday weekend, so there are currently 87 active cases of COVID-19, 56 students and 31 staffers. People stay on the active list for 10 days after first reporting an infection. Superintendent of Schools David Jeck said Aug. 31 that the overwhelming majority of students (95%) who have quarantined have tested negative for COVID-19.
Hospitalizations
Virginia: 73 on Tuesday; 34,312 total Fauquier: 239 total; 25 in August, 12 so far in September Perspective: The Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association data for Sept. 6 states that 1,981 Virginians were hospitalized with COVID-19. The seven-day average number of hospitalizations (1,901) had been rising since July 11, when it was 220. In the health district, five children younger than 10 and five between 10 and 19 years old have been hospitalized. In the state, 396 younger than 9 have been hospitalized; 484 between 10 and 19 years old have been hospitalized.
Deaths
Virginia: 18 Tuesday; 11,947 to date Fauquier: 72 to date Perspective: The seven-day average of COVID-19 deaths in the state is 15. In the RRHD, one person between the ages of 10 and 19 has died. In the state, four children younger than 9 years old have died of the virus; seven of those between 10 and 19 have died.
Fauquier County Public Schools has announced new guidelines for students who have to quarantine because of close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19; new expectations around remote learning for these students were also released. As of Sept. 3, 443 students and 17 staff members in the school division had been told not to come to school because of possible exposure. Superintendent of Schools David Jeck said in a Sept. 3 video, “If a student does not have symptoms, quarantine may end after ten days, or immediately upon receiving a negative result from a PCR test administered between day five and day seven of exposure. The school requires documentation of the negative PCR test in order for the student to return prior to the ten days.” He also pointed out that a rapid COVID test is available for free at Walgreens, but cautioned, “That’s fine for determining whether or not you or your child is ill. But the rapid test won’t help in terms of shortening the length of the quarantine.” Only the PCR test will shorten the quarantine.
He added, “If your child is quarantined and in need of a PCR test, and you need assistance paying for it, we can help.”
Instruction during quarantine
The school division has created a webpage (https://www.fcps1. org/Page/3503) for students who are under quarantine. Jeck said, “This is specifically for quarantined students and includes general information about quarantining, such as the length of quarantine, where to go for a PCR test, how to receive assistance paying for it if necessary, and also information about how students will be instructed throughout the quarantine period.” Jeck emphasized that the school division had not anticipated such a large number of quarantined students, “but our school staff and Department of Instruction staff did an excellent job of revamping the instruction provided to quarantined students to make it a lot more meaningful.” Guidelines about remote learning – announced Aug. 27 -- differ depending on whether a student is in elementary school, middle school or high school. For elementary school students, instruction will be largely

asynchronous and may include work packets that parents can pick up from school, activities posted on Google Classroom or recordings from the student’s classroom posted on Google Classroom. In addition, students must meet remotely with a teacher for live instruction for a minimum of 15 to 30 minutes twice a week. The student-teacher interactions will focus on the four core areas of instruction. Times for the one-on-one instruction may be before, during or after school, and some teachers may be available during office hours. Library, art, music and physical education classes will be handled asynchronously. Middle school students will meet remotely with a teacher for one period each Tuesday and Thursday for language arts and math and one period each Wednesday for social studies and science during the time they are quarantined. Teachers will also be available during office hours, at times determined by the teacher and school administration. Elective classes and physical education will be asynchronous. School spokeswoman Tara Helkowski explained that “The diversity and complexity of the high school master schedules makes the camera the most viable option to create some synchronous learning for quarantined students.” When the option for students to watch class from home via video feed was introduced during the last school year, high school students embraced it, she said. High school teachers will make links available for students to join class for the first 15 to 40 minutes of each block. The guidelines say, “The primary goal is for quarantined students to see and hear directions and content that will support their independent learning.” High school teachers will also be available during office hours at times determined by the teacher and school administration.

Zoning board defers action on proposed 31,000-square-foot ‘multi-purpose worship center’ By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
The regional governing body of the Assemblies of God wants to build a 31,000 square foot, 300-seat “multi-purpose worship center and gathering space” on a residential-zoned lot just outside Warrenton town limits, adjacent to the major highway interchange between Walmart and Lord Fairfax Community College. The facility would be located less than 2 miles from an existing religious venue, Bridge Community Church, that is part of the same regional organization. After a tense 90-minute meeting Sept. 2, Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals members decided to defer a vote on the proposal until next month. Board members expressed concerns about land-use issues related to the proposed building, like stormwater management, septic and well systems and fire suppression. Board members said that they wanted the applicant to demonstrate in more detail how those issues would be addressed, and gave the church group a month to do so. The application is complicated by a pending amendment to the county’s zoning ordinance that, if enacted, would require new construction of large religious facilities to go through a more rigorous approval process than currently required. That zoning amendment could be passed by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors – an entirely separate entity with different authority – as soon as Thursday, Sept. 9. If passed, the amendment could remove the zoning board’s jurisdiction over the application and pass responsibility to planning commissioners and county supervisors, who would have much greater latitude than the zoning board to scrutinize the application. Had the zoning board voted Sept. 2 to approve the special permit needed for the project to move forward, the church organization would have avoided that possibility. Church officials threatened at the Sept. 2 zoning board meeting to bring legal action against the county if the zoning amendment is enacted by supervisors, claiming the measure is targeted at the Assemblies of God property specifically and that the amendment’s language defines a “place of worship” too narrowly. Still, zoning board members emphasized that they were not considering the application as it could potentially relate to the proposed text amendment; the zoning board has no control over the county’s zoning ordinances and must enforce ordinances as they are currently written.

“The magnitude of this might be a little overwhelming for this site.” JOHN MEADOWS Chairman, Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals
The application came close to failing outright Sept. 2, when board members Lawrence McDade and John Meadows voted to deny the application based on several land-use concerns. The motion to the deny the application failed on a tie vote. McDade said that there were “inadequacies in the application itself,” citing concerns about the lack of plans for drain fields, stormwater and wastewater management systems, fire suppression systems and access for fire and rescue units, especially considering the scale of the proposed building. Meadows expressed similar concerns. While he acknowledged the zoning board approved a smaller religious facility on the same property in 2009, “The magnitude of [the current proposal] might be a little overwhelming for this site,” he said. The matter is scheduled to come before the board again Oct. 7 after board members approved a subsequent motion to defer action until next month.
‘Potomac Ministry Center’
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL
Jim Carson, of Carson Land Consultants, told the zoning board that he wants to help churches in the Fauquier County area grow and expand.
“The additional uses proposed with the [‘Potomac Ministry Center’] work to make this a destination place of worship, attracting visitors from the entire Potomac Ministry Network region, including people from Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia and West Virginia.”
The 10-acre subject property, which is part of a combined 43 acres just outside Warrenton town limits owned by the regional governing body of the Assemblies of God denomination, has been the site of interest for potential religious facilities for more than a decade. The land is located between U.S. 17 Business and the Eastern Bypass, just north of the major interchange linking James Madison Highway and the Eastern Bypass. The property is zoned residential, with a maximum of one residence per acre allowed by-right on the land.
The current application includes plans for a two-story, 31,000-square-foot building called the “Potomac Ministry Center.” The building would include a 300-seat auditorium and 154 parking spaces, a 2,100 square foot kitchen and dining area, three conference rooms, 14 offices or classrooms, a recording studio and a multi-purpose room, according to the application. While apparently not associated with a specific local congregation, the Potomac Ministry Center would host weekly religious services, along with weddings, meetings, small religious education classes and administrative functions, according to the applicant’s statement of justification filed with the zoning board. In 2009, the zoning board approved a special permit for an 8,200-square-foot, 300-seat religious building on the site. That building would have been a new home to the Warrenton Assembly of God church, which was then located next to Taylor Middle School, but the new building was never built. That local congregation has since ceased to exist and the 43 acres was deeded to the Potomac Ministry Network, which governs Assemblies of God congregations in parts of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Since then, a Potomac Ministry Network congregation has built a 20,720-square-foot church called Bridge Community Church south of Warrenton on U.S. 15/17/29; that project was approved by the zoning board in 2015. The proposed site for the new Potomac Ministry Network facility, which it calls a “multi-purpose worship center and gathering space,” is less than two miles away from The Bridge.
Proposed zoning text amendment
The elephant in the room at the Sept. 2 zoning board meeting was the proposed text amendment to the county’s zoning ordinance which makes a distinction between “major” and “minor” religious facilities in the zoning code. “Major” facilities would need to go through a much more rigorous process than stipulated currently, while the approval process for “minor” facilities would remain the same. County supervisors will consider the amendment at its Sept. 9 regular meeting; the county’s planning commission unanimously recommended last month that the amendment be adopted. The text amendment would require a special exception – which must be approved ultimately by the board of supervisors – for “places of worship” that are more than 10,000 square feet or that seat more than 300 people. Currently, new construction of a “place of worship” requires only a special permit from the zoning appeals board, a less rigorous process, regardless of a project’s scale. See ZONING, page 5

Zoning board defers action on proposed 31,000-square-foot ‘multi-purpose worship center’ ZONING, from page 4 At the Sept. 2 meeting, representatives of the Potomac Ministry Network threatened “legal ramifications” if the text amendment is approved, claiming supervisors initiated the change in zoning laws specifically to target the Potomac Ministry Network and its property outside Warrenton, and that the amendment’s definition of a “place of worship” was illegally narrow. “In my opinion, … there is a great deal of desire to keep the property green, as a ‘gateway’ to Warrenton, and [the supervisors] have manipulated the process,” claimed civil engineer Jim Carson, who is representing the applicant. “This text amendment … is going to land Fauquier County in court. It’s illegal,” said attorney Robert Showers, who has represented an array of conservative Christian religious interests and sits on the Southern Baptist Convention’s executive committee. “This text amendment is targeted against one church,” he said, claiming the new zoning language would violate the U.S. Constitution. Showers also addressed community development department staff concerns that the building could be used to support the regional governing body, not just a local congregation. (The staff report indicated that the current project may need other approvals to operate as an “office building,” since some of the administrative functions performed there would serve a broader, regional organization and not just the local “place of worship.”) Because the county’s zoning ordinance doesn’t currently define a “place of worship,” Showers argued that the phrase must be interpreted liberally and that the facility could serve as an administrative base for the broader governing body without seeking additional approvals. “All of the uses applied for in this plan are consistent with ‘places of worship,’” he argued. Church representatives asked if their organization would be exempt from the new zoning language – if it is adopted – because of their pending special permit application. “You’re not grandfathered in [to the old zoning ordinance] just because you have an application in,” Deputy County Attorney M.C. Anderson told Potomac Ministry Network representatives during the meeting, confirming that the organization would need to re-submit the application as a spe-

cial exception request if the amendment is enacted Sept. 9. The process to amend the county code was initiated in June by Board of Supervisors Chairman Chris Granger (Center District). “We see facilities growing in size, and we need to make certain that they are properly reviewed for impacts [to the surrounding area] they might have,” he said. Addressing the comments made by Showers and Carson at the Sept. 2 meeting, Granger said that “their comments appear to be unfounded and misguided.” (Carson commented at another point that supervisors had “coldly dismissed” a previous Potomac Ministry Network land-use application.) The proposed text amendment isn’t meant to discriminate against religious facilities, Granger emphasized prior to the Sept. 2 zoning board meeting; the amendment’s intention is to review an application just as a non-religious facility would be reviewed under the same circumstances. “Big facilities equal big impacts,” he said. “The board of zoning appeals can only benchmark an application to standards [outlined in the zoning code and in the comprehensive plan]. The planning commission and the board of supervisors can look at all impacts,” said Granger. Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District), whose district includes the Potomac Ministry Network property, declined to comment in response to the church representatives’ statements.
Church organization no longer seeks to build college
A “Potomac Ministry Center” already exists, in Gainesville, where the Potomac Ministry Network central offices are housed. The organization also runs an online religious college called Ascent College from the Gainesville facility, located at 14525 John Marshall Highway. See ZONING, page 14

Dave Smith was teaching government classes on Sept. 11, 2001. He told his students it would be a defining moment for them.
Fauquier High School remembers shock, confusion – then unity – on Sept. 11, 2001 9/11, from page 1 “We were all sitting around the conference room table and our secretary came in and said, ‘Just wanted to let you guys know that a plane hit the World Trade Center.’ We were shocked but thought it was probably just a freak accident. A little while after that she came in and said, ‘A second one hit.’ That was the dawning moment.” Seth Enterline, then a senior, remembers Smith reentering the classroom “and you can tell he’s kind of shook. He kind of paused and said, ‘They hit the Pentagon.’” Immediately students with cell phones started trying to call their parents, mostly to no avail, and parents inundated the school with calls. “A good chunk of kids have parents that work in and around the Pentagon. They were upset. We were trying to calm them down,” said Kelican. “It got really hectic.” The front office told teachers to let students go to lunch in shifts as normal starting at 10:30 a.m., which Kelican says was fortunate; it gave students time to be with friends as they grappled with their fears and emotions. No one in the school, adult or teen, lost a family member that day at the World Trade Center or the Pentagon, but there were anxious moments. Seth Enterline’s father had gone to the airport that morning on a business trip that took him through New York. “A teacher let me go check on my brother, who was a sophomore. We got him out of French
A flag displayed in Dave Smith’s Fauquier High School classroom lists the name of each victim of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Kraig Kelican, principal of Fauquier High School, was assistant principal on the day terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. class. I was like, ‘Where’s dad at?’ All that did was upset him.” (His father was fine, but couldn’t rent a car to get home for three days.) Some parents arrived to pull their sons and daughters out of school. The bells still rang on the normal schedule, but no attempt was made to let instruction go on as normal. “Basically, because of the emotional state of so many of the kids, teachers spent that time trying to talk about what they knew so far and what they all had seen,” said Kelican. Smith, a Fauquier alumnus – the high school was segregated when he entered in 1967 and integrated when he graduated in 1971 -- told his government students, “This is going to be one of those life events for you. You will remember where you were when you heard about this just like I remembered where I was when I heard about the Kennedy assassination.” See 9/11, page 7
“‘The twin towers were just hit,’ he said. It didn’t register at first.” But a half hour later, the mourners recoiled as a tremendous blast shook the windows and walls of the cemetery’s reception center. Twenty-seven funerals were scheduled at Arlington on Sept. 11, 2001; honor guards were carrying out the solemn ritual of folding the flag over coffins or urns for those who were cremated. Those honoring Moreau included colleagues from EDS, a defense contractor where Moreau was a popular manager, as well as fellow Vietnam War veterans and some still working in the Pentagon. “There are Navy people that were at the service who are alive because they weren’t in their offices at the Pentagon,” said Harold Lutz of Warrenton, a Vietnam veteran who worked for Moreau at EDS. Moreau’s son said, “As we started the procession to the Columbarium, we get interrupted by the military police. They said the Pentagon was just hit and that there will not be a flag folding ceremony. ‘All these soldiers, all these military people, are going to have to leave,’ they told us.” Black smoke billowed over the cemetery from the gaping wound in the Pentagon’s west wing, less than a half-mile from where they stood. Ruthie Rosati, a next-door neighbor to Moreau’s widow Jane in Herndon, ran back to her car, parked along a cemetery road to retrieve her Olympus camera. “This was back in the day when nobody had a camera. I just happened to have mine because after the funeral we were going to go to a condo we were trying to sell and take pictures of it.” She aimed her lens across the rows of tombstones and captured an image like no other from that tragic morning in Arlington. The chaplain held an abbreviated service and asked, “Is there anyone here that can stand in for the military folks to fold the flag?” Many stepped forward to do their part. “That was so wonderful, seeing these guys that worked for my dad. They all stood and folded the flag,” said “Little Ray.” Lutz remembers the dazed look on the civilians’ faces that said, “What do we do now?” They left and slowly made their way to Jane Moreau’s home in Herndon. Stranded relatives who had flown in from Massachusetts camped on cots and sleeping bags in Ray Moreau’s house in Manassas for the next two nights. Rosati, then a stay-at-home mom, took her roll of film to Costco and had prints of the dramatic moment made for Jane Moreau and others. She let the editor of a weekly newspaper, the Herndon Connection, run it on page 17 of his Sept. 21, 2001, issue. She was not compensated. Years later, she tried to contact someone doing a book on 9/11 to see if he was interested in reprinting it, but nothing came of that. Rosati, now a school bus driver, headed straight home from the cemetery that morning. “I was worried about our two boys. When I picked up Kevin, my first grader, he asked what was happening, who would do something like this. I said, ‘Somebody doesn’t like our country.’” -- CHRISTOPHER CONNELL

Also pictured are Jon Glover and Matt Frost. 9/11, from page 6 Smith keeps a flag on his classroom wall that shows in its blue stripes the names of all those who perished at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where passengers on another plane thwarted a second attack on Washington by forcing the plane down. Every year he shows his students footage from 9/11, including the awful video captured by a French documentary film maker of the first jet, American Airlines Flight 11, crashing in a fireball into the North Tower. “Kids should never forget what occurred … but unfortunately it does get kind of forgotten sometimes,” Smith said. But not at Fauquier High School, where several student organizations paint messages on the large rock in the courtyard and surround it with 3,000 small flags. Kelican, who became principal two years ago, also flies in the lobby and the front office two Pentagon Freedom Flags, with a single white star surrounded by the five walls of the Pentagon in the blue field. After 9/11, “the patriotism, the love of country, that came out was just unbelievable,” said Kelican. “It wasn’t bitter anger, but you could see the unity of the kids, wanting to pull together to get us back to what they believed the country is about.”
Affected by the terrorist attack, students enlist
At least five students in school that day subsequently enlisted in the military, including Seth Enterline, who went to the Virginia Military Institute. After graduating, he was commissioned and served a tour in Iraq and two in Afghanistan. Recently, when his 12-year-old son asked for help with an assignment about 9/11, he said, “Parker, I can fill a novel talking about 9/11 and the impact it’s had on my life.” Enterline, now a physician’s assistant in an orthopedic trauma surgery center in Gainesville, Georgia, hails from a military family. One grand-
father was a gunnery sergeant in the Marine Corps; the other was a full bird colonel in the Army. Enterline, now a major, spent 10 years on active duty and the past seven in the National Guard and Reserves. He and his wife Jamie also have a daughter, Ellie, 10, in fifth grade. In high school, Enterline had interned with a physical therapist at the Blue Ridge Orthopaedics and Spine Center and thought he would become “a physical therapist in the Army and take care of soldiers that get hurt and get them better.” The Army had other plans for his first deployment to Iraq in 2007. “They told me they didn’t need another officer in the aid station,” he said. He was assigned to be a leader in a platoon that escorted squads sent out to blow up IEDs. “It was exhausting, but thank God, I never got shot at or blown up,” he said. After recovering the body of a medic who was blown up, he decided he could do more as a physician’s assistant. The Army sent him to Fort Campbell and Fort Bliss for two years of training. His good fortune held during the two nine-month tours in Kunar Province in 2012 and Kandahar in 2014. “To call it combat is not exactly fair. I never really got shot at, only indirect artillery rounds,” Enterline said. “I’ve always been lucky. The fighting happens around me, not at me.” Asked if the United States should have stayed at war in Afghanistan for 20 years, he replied, “I don’t know. For 10 years, every day, every minute of every day, was about getting somebody ready for war. It’s not in me to sit it out.” “We fought alongside people that needed to fight. You can’t tell me that little girls reading in school and women not having to cover their faces is a bad thing,” he said. “It was not in vain. I know there’s going to be more fighting. It’s just a matter of when and where.” Christopher Connell is a freelance writer, working with the Piedmont Journalism Foundation.

Fauquier veteran avenges 9/11 and Pearl Harbor in father’s memory Growing up in Hawaii where his father was a Navy commander, Eric Johnson could look across the water and see the USS Arizona Memorial to the 2,403 American military and civilians killed on the Japanese attack on Dec. 7, 1941. His father, Lloyd Reed Johnson, a supply officer who served in both the Korean and Vietnam wars, once told him, “Eric, if you go into the military, don’t let that happen again.” When 9/11 happened, he felt he had let his father down. Johnson, 60, of Warrenton was a defense contractor then in the middle of a decades-long career as an Air Force officer and civilian with the National Reconnaissance Office in Chantilly, which builds, deploys and operates satellites that gather intelligence for the U.S. military and intelligence community. He was at his desk when the hijacked planes struck. Told to evacuate, he said, “I went home, watched the news and cried.” A decade earlier, he’d served in Operation Desert Storm, operating from the Saudi-Iraqi border and helping provide intelligence that helped coalition forces liberate Kuwait

The captain, later retired on a medical disability, felt he had fulfilled his promise to his father. “But after 9/11, the job wasn’t over,” said Johnson. He takes both pride and satisfaction in knowing that the National Reconnaissance Office again played a part in tracking down and killing Osama bin Laden in May 2011. “I felt closure,” he said. His father is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His plan to mark this 20th anniversary of 9/11? “I will probably go visit my dad.” -- CHRISTOPHER CONNELL

The town of Warrenton last month approved a $18,900 grant to Miller Carpets to produce customized outdoor carpeting for the 25 parklets along Main Street. With the town’s funding, Ike Miller, the store owner, plans to “roll out” the weatherproof carpeting over the coming weeks. The project, however, is dependent on supply chains Ike Miller of Miller Carpets that have experienced delays due to will install weatherproof the COVID-19 pandemic. carpeting for the parklets Miller, who recently moved Miller on Main Street in Carpets to Main Street, came up with Warrenton through a Warmthe idea “as a way for us and the town Up Warrenton grant. to say thank you to businesses.” The town provided the funding through the Warm-up Warrenton Small Business Grant program, which was established earlier this year to provide financial assistance to businesses impacted by the pandemic. To date, the Warm-up Warrenton initiative has handed out 28 grants, totaling $193,015, according to Michael Potter, Warrenton emergency services manager. The grant application is currently closed. Several Warrenton businesses applied for warm-up grants earlier this year to pay for equipment or alterations that allowed them to adapt to social-distancing protocols, said Potter. Warrenton Center Cleaners, for example, used grant money to install a drop box where customers could pick up and drop off their dry cleaning. Drum & Strum Music Center used its grant to purchase equipment that allowed the center to offer lessons virtually. The town is also considering whether to temporarily remove the parklets this winter, said Potter, citing potential difficulties with snow removal as one reason. They would be reinstalled the following spring, depending on what the Warrenton Town Council decides.
Fauquier hires new economic development director Douglas Parsons, currently the head of the Front Royal and Warren County Economic Development Authority, will take over the top economic development position in Fauquier County next month, a press release announced Friday. The director position has been vacant since August 2020, when the then-Fauquier economic development director Miles Friedman stepped down after seven years in the role. The longtime business coordinator for the department, Beverly Cooper (formally Beverly Pullen), has filled the director role on an interim basis since Friedman’s departure. Parsons has worked in the economic and business development field for two decades. Before heading the Front Royal and Warren County EDA, he worked as a project manager for the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, as a business development manager for the town of Leesburg and as the director of the Lewis County, West Virginia, Economic Development Authority. “Doug is eminently qualified for this position and we believe his experience will help the county continue to assist our existing businesses while attracting new business to the county,” said Fauquier County Administrator Paul McCulla in a press release. “I look forward to working with him to implement the Board of Supervisors’ vision for economic development for Fauquier County.” The department is charged with encouraging entrepreneurship in the county, attracting new businesses and assisting existing businesses. The department also works to promote tourism spending in Fauquier County.

POLICE BRIEFS Stafford woman arrested in undercover narcotics operation in Bealeton A Stafford woman was arrested on multiple drug distribution charges Sept. 2, following an undercover operation by the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force in Bealeton. Mariana Hand, 47, has been charged with possession with intent to distribute schedule I/II drugs and possession with intent to distribute schedule IV drugs, both of which are felonies. On Sept. 2, a “controlled buy” was set up with Hand and an undercover police officer, according to a criminal complaint filed by a Fauquier deputy. Hand arrived at the 6400 block of Village Center Drive in Bealeton, the complaint continued, “and distributed approximately 250 Xanax pills in exchange for cash.” Hand then attempted to sell the undercover officer approximately 30 Percocet pills. After the exchange was made, said a press release from the task force, law enforcement officers arrested Hand and seized 54 Percocet pills along with the 250 Xanax pills. Hand was subsequently taken to the Fauquier County Magistrates Office, where she was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond. She is set to be arraigned on her charges at the Fauquier County General District Court on Sept. 8.
Mariana Hand of Stafford was arrested on felony drug distribution charges last week, following an undercover operation in Bealeton. This remains an active investigation, said Sgt. Brent Coffey of the Virginia State Police. The Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force is comprised of law enforcement officers from the Fauquier, Culpeper, Orange and Rappahannock sheriff’s offices, Culpeper and Warrenton police departments and the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Culpeper Field Office.

Tara Helkowski, spokesperson for the Fauquier County Public Schools, stated the parents of the students have been notified. “Our top priority is to provide a safe environment for our students, whether in our schools or on one of our school buses.” During the crash investigation, the Virginia State Police Commercial Motor Carrier unit assisted with a roadside inspection of the concrete truck. Lewis cautioned, “Please remember, school is back in session. Pay attention to all traffic laws, speed zones, school zones and let’s educate each other to make sure these types of crashes are avoided on the roadways.”

Grant funds environmental education By Liam Bowman
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
Friends of the Rappahannock spokeswoman Lis Heras announced earlier this month that roughly $140,000 of grant money will go toward funding an environmental education program at Fauquier and Culpeper county schools. The grant, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, will fund the program at Fauquier and Culpeper schools for three years. The program, Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience, will combine classroom and hands-on learning to educate K-12 students about local watersheds and environmental issues.
According to a press release, Friends of the Rappahannock will partner with teachers and school staff to integrate the program into school curricula. Local environmental nonprofits Goose Creek Association and the Clifton Institute are also involved in the program’s development. “Every year, hundreds of school children visit our property to learn about Virginia’s plants and animals, but we don’t usually get to spend a lot of time with their teachers,” said Eleanor Harris, managing director at the Clifton Institute. “We’re excited to work with Friends of the Rappahannock to teach teachers about watershed conservation and about how to engage their students with this important issue.”

IMPORTANT INFORMATION about the CHILD TAX CREDIT -This program will bring many low income families out of poverty and provide an important economic boost to the communities where they live and shop. A family with three young children will receive $10,800. You do not have to file tax returns to be eligible. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! Millions of families are now receiving monthly payments thanks to the expanded Child Tax Credit in President Biden’s American Rescue Plan. This program delivers much-needed help to working parents, assisting with the costs of raising children, paying for groceries, and more. All working families will receive the full credit if they make less than $150,000 for a couple or $112,500 for a family with a single parent (also called Head of Household). An estimated 1.5 million children across Virginia will benefit from the program, including 249,000 children in the Commonwealth currently below the poverty line. Most families with children age 6-17 will receive monthly payments of $250 per child, while those with children under age 6 will receive monthly payments of $300 per child every month between now and December. The remainder of their newly increased annual Child Tax Credit will be credited or paid to them when taxes are filed next year. An important feature of the program is that while in the past people could not receive a credit of more than they owed in taxes, now even parents who owe no taxes will receive the payments. If your two-parent family makes a joint income $150,000 or less per year ($112,500 for single parents), and you filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020 taxes, or you signed up for a stimulus check, you will probably automatically receive your monthly payments in your bank account, or a check will be mailed to the address on file, with no further action required. IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED A PAYMENT or don't normally file tax returns, go to https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/ advance-child-tax-credit-payments-in-2021 to see how to receive your monthly payments. If you don’t file income tax, sign up for payments here https://www.whitehouse.gov/child-tax-credit/sign-up/ Learn more about the program by visiting: https://www.whitehouse.gov/child-tax-credit/

Zoning board defers action on ‘multi-purpose worship center’
“The board of zoning appeals can only benchmark an application to standards [outlined in the zoning code and in the comprehensive plan]. The planning commission and the board of supervisors can look at all impacts.”
ZONING, from page 5 Last year, the governing body announced plans to build an expanded “campus” at the Warrenton site, including a college for in-person learning, dormitories and regional administrative offices on the site. That proposal, submitted to the county in April 2020 and withdrawn in July 2021, included two academic and office buildings totaling more than 62,000 square feet to serve up to 500 students on campus, along with ancillary buildings and residences to serve and house students, faculty and visiting missionaries. The application never made it to the public-hearing stage. “We no longer intend to construct a college, and no longer intend to consolidate our subject parcel with the neighboring parcels,” the organization’s
CHRIS GRANGER Center District supervisor, explaining why he initiated a zoning ordinance amendment
current application for a “place of worship” says. At the Sept. 2 zoning board meeting, Carson claimed the Potomac Ministry Network abandoned its plans for a college and extensive administrative offices at the Warrenton site, in part because of opposition from supervisors. The preliminary application materials for the college and office campus were “coldly dismissed,” he claimed. “The wall came down.” Church representatives also accused community development department staff members of “misrepresenting” the current proposal, claiming the staff report unfairly indicated that uses included in the college and office campus application were also in-
tended for the current “place of worship” proposal. “It seems like the staff report … was addressing something that is off the table and is old,” Showers said. The Potomac Ministry Network did not respond to questions from the Fauquier Times seeking to clarify the organization’s application, the nature of the proposed use of the newer “Potomac Ministry Center” and the organization’s other plans for its properties outside Warrenton. The current proposal would leave more than 30 acres owned by the organization undeveloped.

‘I THINK WE CAN PLAY WITH ANYBODY’ Despite inspired defense, Falcons fall to Brentsville, 23-8; Culpeper next By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Long viewed as an underdog against Fauquier County schools, Brentsville is rising up and avenging decades of old losses. After posting only the second-ever win in school history against Liberty in Week One, the Tigers (2-0) defeated Fauquier 23-8 last Friday, displaying a versatile offense and stifling defense that will certainly make them a factor in the Class 3 playoffs in November. Despite the loss, the Falcons (01) played with energy and passion in their season-opener and unveiled an encouraging, swarming, rugged defense. However, the offense was almost non-existent. “I think we can play with anybody,” said Fauquier coach Karl Buckwalter. “We’ve got quite a linebacker corps. We have three dynamic backers flying around. Wyatt Croson, Grayson Kramer and Garrett Kramer all had a heck of a game.” Fauquier defeated Brentsville 32-0

Fauquier High freshman quarterback Ben Noland flashed promise in his debut, but overall it was a rough night for the Falcon offense in last Friday’s season opening loss to Brentsville. in 2019 to famously end a 13-game losing streak, and has long dominated the rivalry, winning 11 of the past 13 over Brentsville since 2003 entering Friday’s matchup. But the Class 3 Tigers are on the warpath in recent years and have now beaten the Falcons in 2016, 2018 and 2021. The Falcon offense ran up against a Tigers’ stone wall. Fauquier could muster no running game and new starting quarterback Ben Noland, a
freshman, was given little time to throw, resulting in a rough debut. Fauquier amassed just four first downs and committed six turnovers. Falcon runners gained just seven yards on 13 carries. Noland finished 12-of-32 for 131 yards and four interceptions. “He’s now got a game under his belt. But he needs help,” said Buckwalter of Noland. “We’ve got to be able to run the football and help him
out as he grows. We can’t be throw, throw, throw. We need to get a ground game going forward. That’s the emphasis this week. We’ve got to work on creating some holes.” Fauquier only had one scrimmage, very little practice time in pads due to weather and had their first game postponed, so Buckwalter likened the game to a second scrimmage.

‘I’M VERY HAPPY WITH THIS OUTCOME’
Facing adversity, young Cougars surge past Manassas Park; FHS, LHS both win By Fred Hodge

Madison Wheatley and the Cougars play twice this week. Kettle Run hosted James Wood Tuesday and visit Brentsville Thursday.
All three county volleyball teams found the win column last week. Kettle Run led the way with a pair of victories, while Fauquier and Liberty added one each. Host Manassas Park gave Kettle Run problems early last Thursday before the Cougars pulled away for a 26-24, 25-22, 25-15 decision. “Manassas Park is a difficult team to play because they are scrappy and don’t let a lot of balls hit the ground on defense,” Kettle Run coach Mike Howard explained. “They also sent a lot of second balls over and were in great position on defense on a lot of our hits. It threw us out of sync and took a set and a half to get into a groove.” In the first set, a Kettle Run surge gave the Cougars a 15-10 margin, but host Manassas Park responded with eight consecutive points of their own. Manassas Park mounted a 24-20 lead, needing one point to take the set. Kettle Run forced a side out to bring Madison Perino to the service stripe. She produced five straight

The second set also was tight before the visitors broke a 15-15 tie and never trailed again in the 25-22 win. “In the third set, we really started getting in sync on offense,” Howard said, as his team won comfortably. “I was very happy with this (outcome) because we are a young team,” the coach added.” We have to learn how to win matches like this.” He noted Kettle Run needed four sets to down Manassas Park a week earlier, and an emphasis was to correct some of the mistakes in that outing. “Overall, I am really happy with our play because we are playing as a team and playing unselfishly,” Howard said.

Four Cougars score TDs in 34-14 win over Meridian Cabanban, Butler By Peter Brewington
score in shootout as Eagles win ‘intense and exciting game’
Times Staff Writer
Kettle Run displayed a variety of offensive weapons in last Friday’s 34-14 win over Meridian to improve to 1-1. Receiver Jordan Tapscott caught two touchdowns, with one rushing TD each by Peyton Mehaffey, Beau Lang and Logan Branham. The season’s first win restored “faith we were the program we all thought we were,” said coach Charlie Porterfield, who said mistakes in the Week One loss to Heritage were corrected. He cited defensive standouts Mehaffey, freshman Colton Quaker and Jacob Robinson as instrumental in controlling Meridian’s run-heavy offense. “Mehaffey at linebacker played huge for us. He read their guards and made our alignment right. And Robinson set the edge. He was a great leader out there. Defensively he is the fire,” Porterfield said. The Cougars led 14-7 at halftime. Meridian tied it at 14-14, before the Cougars tallied the last

The happy Cougars enjoyed their first win of the year and next take on Brentsville (2-0) Friday at 7 p.m. three scores, the first two on TD catches by Tapscott of 21 and 7 yards from Lang. Tapscott caught five passes for 105 yards, Lang completed 8-of-12 for 157 yards and Mehaffey ran 16 times for 74 yards. Ella Slevin was 5-for-5 on extra points. Porterfield also praised his scout team for running a version of Meridian’s double wing offense in practice. “They did a good job studying what Meridian tries to do and we felt really prepared for what we saw in the game,” said Porterfield. Next up is a 2-0 Brentsville squad that has handled Liberty and Fauquier by double digit scores and looks like a surefire Class 3 playoff team. Plus, it will be Brentsville’s home opener. Kettle Run and Brentsville haven’t played since 2019 when Brentsille beat Kettle Run 21-20. “I think they are good. They’re talented and deep at the line spots. They feel good about where they are as a program,” said Porterfield, who anticipates a tough game.
Logan Branham (No. 7) scored on a 5-yard touchdown run to close out the scoring in Kettle Run’s 34-14 win over Meridian.
The Liberty High field hockey unit broke into the victory column last Thursday with a hard-fought decision at Orange. The two squads were scoreless after they battled through 60 minutes of regulation play and a 15-minute sudden-victory overtime period. The deadlock required a shootout period where teams alternate five attackers one-on-one versus the goalkeeper. Eagles Nicole Cabanban and Summer Butler both scored in the session for the win. “They both faked the goalie out which led to two beautiful goals,” Liberty co-head coach Mikatla Diak said. “It was both an intense and exciting game for the crowd to watch,” fellow co-coach Erin Burton said of the night. The Eagles (1-2) were coming off a 2-0 loss to Eastern View earlier in the week to fall to 0-2, so coach Burton hopes the Orange decision will bolster the squad’s confidence. “I am hopeful that we will continue on with the same level of intensity and forward momentum,” Burton said. “Having a win under our belt will definitely be a confidence booster for the team,” she said hopefully. “I am very proud of the team as well See FIELD HOCKEY, page 23

Fauquier students were out in force for Homecoming. Fauquier is at Culpeper (0-2) Friday, with the next home game Sept. 24 vs. Handley.
Garrett Kramer scores Falcons’ lone TD FOOTBALL, from page 17 The defense was a bright spot, with Fauquier’s first touchdown coming on a fumble recovery in the end zone by Garrett Kramer with 2:05 left in the game. All night, the Falcons disrupted Brentsville’s running game, and hindered the effectiveness of dual threat Tigers’ QB Caleb Alexander, who had a strong game with two TD passes, but was repeatedly harassed and tackled for losses. “We had our stops and productive opportunities. I think we created three turnovers and one resulted in a defensive score. But we made five or six turnovers and can’t do that and win a game,” Buckwalter said. Brentsville took a 7-0 lead on the first play of the second quarter when sophomore quarterback Alexander hit senior receiver Luca Orlando on fourth down on a 5-yard jump ball pass in the left corner of the end zone. It came after the Tigers failed three times on short runs. Orlando, who is 6-foot-3, used his height to catch Alexander’s well-thrown high pass to break the 0-0 tie. With the Falcons failing to earn a first down, the Tigers continued to get the ball back and work at breaking down a tough Falcon defense. An 8-yard Alexander-to-Orlando TD pass made it 14-0 midway through the second quarter after Kai Marcham’s extra point kick. After a 20-minute halftime that saw FHS principal Kraig Kelican drive Homecoming queen Payton Swart and Reece Kuhns around the track in a blue Corvette, Brentsville added to its lead with a third quarter safety. Falcon punter Nathan Hensley’s kick was blocked and rolled out of the side of the end zone to make it 16-0 with 8:22 left in the third. Fauquier finally earned its second first down of the game late in the third quarter, then moved into Brentsville territory for the first time when Nolan hit Christian Friedl on a sideline pass and Friedl motored for 26 yards to the Tigers’ 47-yard line.
LIberty to host Mountain View Friday
The Liberty football team returns to action Friday with a home game against Mountain View at 7 p.m. Last week’s game at Eastern View was postponed due to COVID issues. Although the drive soon stalled, Fauquier recovered a fumble at the Brentsville 37 and reached the Tigers’ 29 on Noland passes to Dylan Taylor and John Bynaker. On fourth down a potential TD pass to a wideopen Taylor fell incomplete. Fauquier stopped the Tigers and blocked a punt, recovering on the Brentsville 9, but could not score. Brentsville embarked on a 92-yard drive to make it 23-0 on Bryce Jackson’s 2-yard TD run with 3:10 left in the game. Fauquier began a promising drive on its next possession, earning two first downs to reach the Brentsville 13, but the series ended with Noland’s fourth interception at the Brentsville 5. On the Tigers’ first possession, Alexander lost the ball, with Garrett Kramer recovering in the end zone for a Falcon TD. Noland threw to P.J. Conlan for a two-point conversion to make it 23-8 to close the scoring with 2:05 left. Next up is a Friday game at Culpeper (0-2). Buckwalter said the Brentsville loss has been analyzed on film and tweaks are being made. “We spent Saturday going through everything. We have to reteach and calm down. Other than our feelings (about losing), we seem to be fine. We learned we have more depth than we thought. That’s a great thing,” he said. He loved the energy his Falcons displayed, and noted four freshmen earned significant time on the field. “The kids were excited for Friday Night Lights. The energy is always going to be there. You can win a lot on enthusiasm,” the third-year coach said.

Popular local wins Warrenton Horse Show headliner By Betsy Burke Parker
Jason Berry had never ridden Sidenote before, but he made their debut count, earning top scores in both rounds of Saturday’s Toyota Hunter Classic to win the $5,000 headliner at the 122nd Warrenton Horse Show. The Verona-based professional steered Betty Oare’s adult amateur grand champion to earn class-best 90 from judge Linda Andrisani in the first round, adding 92 points over the second course to dominate the crowded field of 18 at the East Shirley Avenue venue. Berry actually turned in an unprecedented triple-play in the classic: He rode three horses – two already planned for Patty Heuckeroth plus the Sidenote add-in. Berry’s final tally was first, second and fourth, a powerful performance to round out a busy week of showing for the lifelong pro. “I hold Betty Oare in such high esteem,” said Berry after the popular local victory for the Warrenton-based owner. “I considered her (late) brother, Bucky Reynolds a true mentor when I started as a professional. And I grew up idolizing their father, (Hall of Fame member) J. Arthur Reynolds. For Oare, it wasn’t a difficult decision to give Berry the ride, even though she’d just that afternoon won three-of-three – daytime – classes in her division to capture the overall grand amateur championship with Sidenote. “I mean, face it, I’m a little old, and competing in a classic, under the lights, is a little different,” said Oare, 80. She’d won the first classic – in 2007 with Madison, and two years ago, she’d ridden Sidenote in it. They didn’t win a prize due to a late-course glitch. “Sidenote must’ve seen something coming down the last line, near the grandstand,” Oare laughed a little recalling the tiny mistake that cost a top placing. “I don’t know. Maybe he
saw a shadow, but he broke to a trot, just a step, and that’s enough to knock you out of the ribbons” in a competition of this scale. “It’s nothing for a top (pro like) Jason to get on a horse fresh like that and go in and win. Sidenote is a real nice horse, trustworthy, honest. He’s a good jumper.” Oare did consult her husband before she made her final decision Saturday afternoon. Ernie Oare, part-owner of Sidenote and Betty’s partner of 57 years, was understanding and encouraging, she said. “I said to Ernie, ‘You know, what would you think of us asking Jason to show this horse tonight?’ He said, ‘Well, Betty, it’s up to you, but that might be a great idea. We’ll watch and enjoy it.’” Sidenote is an 11-year-old Oldenburg gelding. Dark bay, he stands 16.1. Oare got him from Orange County horsewoman, the late Sally Lamb, in 2017. Asked how hard it is to compete a horse he’s never ridden, Jason Berry was circumspect. “Well, that depends on the horse,” said the 42-year-old pro with a chuckle. “It makes life a whole lot easier when you know that the owner has really good horses, and, hey, she’d just won every class (in adult amateurs) that afternoon. “It wasn’t exactly an experiment to get on Betty Oare’s horse that night.” Berry called the Warrenton Horse Show unique, one of his all-time favorite competitions. “It’s a one-ring show, very unusual these days,” he said. “Sitting on the (sidelines) to watch the classes, I just sit and think about all the top horsemen and women that have sat in that same place, watching that same show for more than 100 years. Olin Armstrong, Bobby Burke, Patty Heuckeroth, the Wheelers, the Oares, so many others. “There’s a heritage you get here that’s nowhere else.” A link to complete results, archival photos and more are at warrentonhorseshow.com.
The 122nd Warrenton Horse Show was “as big as ever, and even more appreciated” after a year off due to the pandemic, says show copresident Helen Wiley
Clara Dart and Wilson Lee Lawson jump in synch during Sunday’s Hunt Night foxhunter pairs’ class. The teen pair from Fauquier placed first in a field of 20.

Kettle Run opened its successful week Aug. 31 by downing visiting Brentsville, 25-15, 25-16, 25-14, behind an overwhelming service night. “We didn’t have much of an opportunity to really get into an offensive groove because we were serving the ball well,” Howard said, pointing to the team’s 85% serving percentage. Balgavy had a monster night at the service line to finish with 28 points including 10 aces. Perino added seven points and Lilly five on four aces. Lilly also had five kills to go with Heflin’s 10 digs and 10 assists from Balgavy and nine by Mia Jones.
Fauquier sweeps Brentsville
Fauquier registered its second win over Brentsville last Thursday by taking a 25-13, 2519, 25-7 decision in Nokesville. The Falcons are 2-1. The teams were to play the previous night, but the match was postponed when Fauquier
County schools dismissed early due to the threat of flooding when the remnants of Hurricane Ida passed through the area. Fauquier also had to adjust to Homecoming activities on Thursday and a later than usual start time and needed time to regain its usual focus, coach Jen Linthicum said. “The girls played well,” she said, noting everyone played in the non-district match. Meredith Scott and Emma Edwards led the hitters with seven kills each to five and three, respectively, for Caroline Towle and Skyler Furr. Furr also added three blocks. Edwards (eight aces), Towle (five) and Jaqueline Janecek (three) were the top servers. Janecek led with seven digs to five by Stephanie Clark. Marcela Lawhorn handed out 19 assists. The Falcons faced their first Northwestern District test Tuesday when the always strong Millbrook Pioneers visited Warrrenton in a battle of league heavyweights. Fauquier also will play at Liberty Thursday.

Chaplain Martin Steinberg Chaplain Martin Steinberg entered the presence of the Lord on June 18, 2021 at the age of 101. He was born on March 12, 1920 at Belle Plane, Wisconsin. He was the youngest of 13 children in the Steinberg family. At age 21 he enlisted in the Navy and was the official photographer onboard the USS New Mexico gunship during World War II. He was President Truman’s personal photographer for a short while. He photographed the nuclear bomb testing at Bikini Atoll, and as always he developed his own photographs in his darkroom. During the war, he got involved with Bible Studies with the Navigators and led his first convert to the Lord. Martin and his wife Grace were married in 1948. He used the GI bill to go to Bob Jones University, and he started working in jail ministry at that time. Then, he moved his family to CA to work for Moody Bible Institute Picture division. He also was a private contractor for Walt Disney. He built a contraption to take individual sheets of artwork and put them together to produce film strips. He did the work putting Disney’s Jiminy Cricket onto film. There are many other exciting exploits with his photography including filming the Lockheed experiments with a booster rocket for the moon launch and even a stint in Iran. Photography was his profession and jail ministry was his side ministry, but not for long. At the age of 50, Chaplain Steinberg moved to Virginia and was commended to the Lord’s work full time. He founded the Tri-County Jail Ministry. He worked tirelessly for 45+ years as a Chaplain in Fauquier, Prince William, Loudon, Culpeper, and Orange area jails. He would go cell block to cell block with his flannelgraph teaching and discipling inmates. He ministered in juvenile detention centers, women’s detention centers, and men’s correctional facilities. In addition to his jail ministry, he taught children’s chapel services in four different Christian Schools and spoke at area churches on Sundays. Martin moved to an independent living facility in Alabama several years ago. While at Homestead Village, he continued preaching once a week. When the Covid lockdowns happened, Martin was preaching 3 times a week, and he was even preaching to the hospital staff the day he went to be with the Lord. Martin is predeceased by his wife of 44 years Grace, his daughter Eileen, and his grandson Carrie Baron. Martin is survived by 2 sons, Charlie, and Fred and his wife Alma. He is survived by 5 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his best friend Turner Ashby. A graveside service will be held on September 17th at 11AM at Culpeper National Cemetery, 305 US Avenue, Culpeper, VA. Following the service there will be a time for sharing memories and a reception at Nokesville Gospel Chapel, 12809 Fitzwater Dr., Nokesville, VA 20181. All are welcome.

Smith White Allnutt III Smith White Allnutt III, 82, left this world to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 17th, 2021, after a long illness. The eldest of three sons, Smitty had a sense of responsibility and determination growing up on his family’s Hi-land Dairy Farm in Maryland. He helped his father with the daily duties of the first modern milk production farm in the state. As a teenager, he was both a book-loving scholar, and a running champion, who set the school record for the mile run, which he held for 20 years! He was also an altar boy at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, where he said he always had a question for the rector. An exceptional student, Smitty graduated from Howard High School in 1957. Smitty always had goals to accomplish. He graduated with a Finance degree from the University of Maryland in 1964. He began work for the Department of Commerce immediately after, where he was instrumental in ultimately leading this agency into the computer age. He also decided to find a beautiful wife. He saw Patricia as they were both waiting to enter a night club on M Street. and he told his friend, “I’m going to marry that girl!” He loved to tell the story of how Pat was reluctant to go out with him, until he mentioned having a boat, and asking her if she liked to water-ski. She did, and ultimately they were married on February 12, 1966 at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Annandale, Va. Living in Burtonsville, MD, Smitty and Pat personally built their first home and greenhouse, and shared a love of organic fruit, vegetable and flower gardening. He also created art, building an amazing grandfather clock, and even sewing the latest 70’s disco fashions for those great NewYear’s Eve parties they hosted. But the truest joy for Smitty and Pat, which filled their hearts and lives, was becoming parents to their children, Natalie and Todd. He raised his daughter and son to be as responsible and committed as he was, and it was they who were his loving companions and caretakers in the last two years of his life. How grateful he was for their devotion to him. Smitty renewed his Christian faith in 1980, and with his same energy and commitment, he led Bible studies, counseled new Christian couples, and served as a deacon. Once Smitty and Pat moved to Warrenton Va., Smitty continued to lead a Bible study in his community, and he attended Mass with Pat at Holy Trinity, especially as her health weakened. He decided to study the Catholic faith, and he was confirmed a Catholic just before his death. Smitty was preceded in death by his wife, Patricia Dean Allnutt, in 2019, and is survived by his children, Natalie Christenson and Todd Allnutt, grandson, Alex Christenson, his brothers Fred Allnutt (Joanne), and Matthew Allnutt (Dale) and his sisters-in-laws, Carolyn Moore, Beverly Worthington (Charles), Kathleen Stratton (Scott) and Diane Dean (Kevin), as well as many nieces and nephews. A viewing was held on Tuesday, August 24 from 5-7pm at Moser Funeral Home.
Ellen Caroll (Barker) Smith Ellen Caroll (Barker) Smith (72) of Bealeton, VA gracefully ended her journey on this earth on Saturday, September 4, 2021. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends. Caroll was born in Abingdon, VA to Luther R. and Ruth E. Barker on October 28, 1948. The youngest of four daughters, Caroll also had four brothers. Caroll graduated from Falls Church High School in 1968 and went to beauty school earning a degree in Cosmetology and worked in a local beauty shop in Seven Corners. She married the love of her life James Smith on May 22, 1971 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. After moving from Northern VA in 1973 to Kewanee, IL, Caroll opened her own beauty shop out of their home where her customers walked in as clients but left as friends. Caroll’s passion was making everyone feel beautiful and never had a price for her services, rather encouraged everyone pay what they could afford. After the birth of her three daughters, Caroll opened an in-home daycare during the day while still running her beauty shop in the evenings. She was an active member of the PTA, a Girl Scout leader and volunteered her time generously throughout her community. Caroll was an avid bowler and played on a league for many years. She also enjoyed long road trips on the back of a motorcycle and weekends spent camping. After relocating back to Caroll’s hometown of Falls Church, VA in 1985, she continued doing what she loved in styling hair while also serving her community. She worked in a local school cafeteria in addition to volunteering in various activities for her daughters. Caroll is the loving mother to Dee Dee Call (Shannon) of Warrenton, VA; Dawn Jeckell of Catlett, VA; and Danielle Rollins (Benjamin) of Warrenton, VA. She has nine wonderful grandchildren: Spencer, Alexander, Justin and Cameron Call; Dalton, Madisyn and Zachary Billick; Ayden and Allyson Rollins and one precious great-grandchild: Jeremiah Call. Caroll is survived by her husband James, her daughters and siblings: Jerry Barker (Rudi) of Myrtle Beach, SC; Rhea Nell Knowles of Manassas, VA; Judy Barker of Falls Church, VA; David Barker (Darren) of Culpeper, VA; James Barker of Falls Church, VA; and Timothy Barker (Patti) of Richardsville, VA. Caroll is preceded in death by her loving parents, sister Glenda Early and sister-in-law Linda Barker. Services will be held at Moser Funeral Home 233 Broadview Avenue in Warrenton with visitation hours on Wednesday, September 8, 2021 from 6pm – 8pm with funeral services on Thursday, September 9, 2021 at 10am.

Jane Ann Kleb Jane Ann Kleb was born on December 26, 1933 to Adrian John and Jane Kleb in St. Louis, Missouri. She attended Holy Rosary parochial school and Beaumont High School in St. Louis. She married Donald Benecke on May 28, 1960. Jane was a kind, beautiful person and a strong, independent woman – a trait that served her well as a military spouse. She loved people, whether her family, friends, colleagues, or those she met in the course of her daily life. Despite the moves that came with the military, Jane found a way to serve variously as a teacher’s aide, substitute teacher, and civil servant who retired from nearby Vint Hill Farms Station. Jane was a lifelong volunteer, including at Fauquier Hospital, church, and the schools of her children and grandchild. Serving others brought her great joy (and volunteering at schools ensured her kids could not engage in much mischief). Jane was preceded in death by her brother, Robert William Kleb. She is survived by her husband, Donald; her daughter Michelle and wife, Lila Helms; her son, Michael; her daughter, Ann and husband Ashley Smith; a special grandson, Alexander Benecke Smith; a stepbrother Richard; step-sister Joyce; and many nephews and nieces.

PALLIATIVE CARE Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with serious illnesses such as cancer, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, Parkinson’s, and many others. Such care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stresses of the illness. It is provided by a specially trained team of doctors, nurses, and other knowledgeable specialists, all working together to improve their patient’s quality of life. Palliative care can be given at any point during an illness, at any age, and is based on the patient’s needs and not on prognosis. Symptoms such as pain, depression, fatigue, constipation, and difficulty sleeping can all be addressed. If you or a loved one is facing an illness, you may benefit from palliative care. Palliative care is best provided soon after a person is diagnosed. The organized services available through palliative care may be helpful to any older person having a lot of general discomfort and disability very late in life. To learn more about our funeral services, please call at MOSER FUNERAL HOME (540) 347-3431. We can assist you in planning and coordinating all of the details of a funeral or memorial service. We invite you to stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton. “Grief shared is grief diminished.”
