Supervisors move forward on plan to bring fiber-optic internet to 10,500 homes Public-private project depends on success of $15 million state grant application

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County and a private internet provider are applying for a $15 million state grant that, if approved, will mean more than 10,000 rural homes in Fauquier County could be served by a fiber-optic internet connection by 2024.

Utilizing existing electric power infrastructure, the project would subsidize connections to homes that are not currently in areas served by fiber-optic connections.

The $64 million project would require a $10.5 million commitment from the county government, which could be provided in large part by federal COVID relief funds. All Points Broadband, a Leesburg-based internet service provider, would provide $39 million in capital.

The remaining $15 million could come from the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative, a state fund dedicated to providing capital to expand internet access into areas where high-speed

Redistricting Commission drops region-by-region approach, expects statewide maps Sept. 20

By Graham Moomaw Virginia Mercury

The Virginia Redistricting Commission got its first look at draft General Assembly maps Thursday as consultants delivered proposals for part of Northern Virginia with districts that look far more normally shaped than the ones that exist now.

A pair of consultants drew their proposed House of Delegates and Senate districts from scratch, following the guidance of the new commission that was supposed to empower citizens to lead the process previously dominated by incumbent legislators.

The initial result was maps with more straight lines and less meandering squiggles. That contrast was confirmed, the consultants said, by algorithmic scores showing their maps are indeed more compact than the existing ones.

The consultant said they didn’t consider incumbents’ home addresses, a measure that might have made the proposed maps hew more closely to existing ones, when creating their drafts.

“We consciously did not look at incumbents, partly because of the time crunch and partly because we had not received direction from the commission,” said Ken Strasma, a Democratic-aligned map-drawing consultant working with the commission.

The drafts seemed to alarm some Democratic legislators serving on the commission.

“There’s a lot of incumbent duplication that happens with this map,” said Del. Marcus Simon, D-Fairfax, said of Strasma’s proposal.

Perhaps jokingly, Sen. George Barker, D-Fairfax, said his reward for advocating for an independent redistricting commission was to be drawn into territory currently represented by Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax.

“I appreciate the draft part of it,” said Sen. George Barker, D-Fairfax. “Because otherwise I would be submitting my resignation from the Senate today.”

Throughout the meeting, there were repeated caveats that the maps were a first crack and could be subject to change as the commission takes a closer look at them and takes into account more granular local ties like school attendance zones or communities that cross city-county lines.

“Obviously the representatives from Northern Virginia have more knowledge around where some of these lines are,” said Greta Harris, the commission’s Democratic cochair. “But I would encourage all commission members to dig in a little bit deeper and blow them up and take a look.”

Republican commissioners were largely silent during the initial discussion of how to carve up Northern Virginia, a heavily Democratic region where Republican-leaning dis-

One of two draft state Senate maps for Northern Virginia compared to the existing map, which a state senator called “the biggest spaghetti you’ve ever seen.” tricts have become mathematically impossible. The main friction in redistricting for the region will largely center on how dramatically Democratic districts will change and how many retirements or Democratic primaries might follow.

To draw new districts by early October, the commission is splitting the state up into eight regions. The first maps focused on Fairfax and Arlington counties and the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church and Fairfax.

The commission began with that region partly because it’s not politically competitive and doesn’t have the same Voting Rights Act concerns as regions where Black voters make up a larger segment of the population.

Two sets of consultants, one Republican and one Democratic, have been hired to prepare maps the commission will use as a starting point.

How the various proposals will be merged or whittled down remains an open question.

“Are they trying to come up with maps together,?” Democratic commissioner James Abrenio asked at Thursday’s meeting, which was held virtually due to a COVID-19 exposure at an in-person meeting last week.

A lawyer for the commission said the consultants hadn’t had much time to compare notes before the meeting but they may be able to find areas of overlap as the process

moves forward.

Though the switch to an independent commission, a change voters approved last year, was pitched as a way to bring more transparency to the redistricting process, several speakers encouraged the commission to do better on that front.

Da’Quan Love, executive director of the Virginia NAACP, suggested the backchannel work and conversations happening between commissioners, lawyers and consultants looked a lot like the “smoke-filled backrooms” of the old system, which allowed General Assembly majorities to draw lines in private.

“It seems like we’ve just replaced cigars with consultants,” Love said.

Liz White, executive director of redistricting reform group OneVirginia2021, asked the commission to do better about posting and publicizing meeting materials in advance instead of leaving it to “a handful of us hardcore nerds” to track every development.

“Now that maps are being drafted,” she said, “public input is more important than ever.”

Information about how to provide public feedback is available on the commission website.

The commission didn’t take any votes at Thursday’s meeting but plans to meet again next week.

Supervisors move forward on plan to bring fiber-optic internet to 10,500 homes BROADBAND, from page 1

A step up from wireless broadband

Since 2019, the county has contributed $4.7 million, according to the county budget office, to another public-private broadband initiative that has provided wireless broadband internet access to many of the county’s rural areas. With its costs subsidized by the county, Florida-based Data Stream Mobile Technologies has set up fixed-wireless broadcast equipment on 18 towers around the county, and about 600 homes and businesses have signed up for service so far.

Fixed-wireless connections are far less reliable – and far slower – than what fiber-optic connections can offer, however. Additionally, many in the county have been unable to connect their home to the Data Stream network at all because of unfavorable terrain that blocks the signal coming from the towers.

The Virginia General Assembly this year allocated $700 million to the VATI fund using the state’s allocation from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. The legislature specifically intends to use those funds to expand access to much higher speeds than wireless services can provide.

“There’s literally a once in a generation opportunity to receive funding and achieve universal broadband,” All Points CEO Jimmy Carr told county supervisors at a Sept. 9 work session.

Federal stimulus funds will also likely be used to cover at least a portion of the county’s share of the cost. The county will receive $13.8 million from the American Rescue Plan Act, and $4 million of that has been tentatively set aside for the fiber-internet project. All of the county’s $10.5 million share could, theoretically, be paid for with the federal funds, however, and supervisors expressed openness to that idea on last week. Nothing was decided definitively, however. (See box.)

The Fauquier County Broadband Authority, which is comprised of county supervisors but acts as a separate legal entity, on Sept. 9 approved a resolution to submit the grant application. If the grant is successful, the authority would have three months after receiving notice of approval to enter into a formal agreement with All Points, Dominion Energy and Rappahannock Electric Cooperative.

Carr told supervisors that the VATI grant recipients should be announced by the end of the year, and he expressed confidence that the grant application would be approved. The application “is intended to win,” said Carr, pointing to All

Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) has spearheaded efforts by the county to subsidize highspeed internet projects in rural areas.

Points’ successful grant application last year that is helping to fund a similar rural fiber-optic project in the Northern Neck.

“I have two words: ‘Very impressed,’” said Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) in response to Carr’s presentation to supervisors.

How the project would work

The Fauquier project would utilize existing power line poles owned by Dominion and Rappahannock Electric to bring “middle mile” fiber-optic cables to the parts of the county that are not currently served by high-speed wired internet service. (This area includes most of the county’s land area.) All Points Broadband would then connect to those lines to provide “last mile” service directly to homes.

According to Carr, about 10,500 homes in Fauquier County would be able to connect to the fiber-optic system under the plan developed by All Points this summer, in conjunction with the two electric companies.

Consumer plans would start at $60 per month for the “basic” 50 megabyte-per-second (Mbps) plan – the maximum speed would be the same for uploading and downloading data -- with rate increases not exceeding the rate of inflation for the duration of the public-private partnership.

Other plans would bring speeds of up to 1 gigabyte-per-second (Gbps) to homes, with a monthly fee of $120 for the 1 Gbps plan. Plans above “ba-

sic” would not be subject to the same restrictions on fee increases.

Under the partnership with Data Stream, on the other hand, residential connections offer a maximum of 50 Mbps downloads and 5 Mbps uploads.

All Points would charge a $200 installation fee for all connections that require 500 feet or less of new wiring from the main power line; a perfoot fee, currently pegged at about $1.20, would be charged for the distance beyond 500 feet. That “long drop” fee, applying to homes farther away from the nearest road, would be waived for those who connect within the first year of the service becoming available.

Concerns about ‘equity’

Although county supervisors were generally enthusiastic about the potential project, Supervisor Chris Granger (Center District), expressed concern about maintaining regional “equity” with county-funded services, although he said he still supports moving forward with the All Points partnership.

If the fiber-optic project is completed, he pointed out, homes in rural areas would be able to access fiber-optic internet at much faster speeds – and at a much cheaper price – than homes and businesses in the Warrenton, New Baltimore, Vint Hill and Bealeton areas that are currently served

by Comcast wired internet connections.

Warrenton council seeks ways to re-establish curbside glass recycling

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

PHOTO BY CARSON MCRAE/ MCRAE VISUAL MEDIA

The town of Warrenton stopped picking up glass for recycling earlier this year.

The Fauquier County landfill still accepts glass recycling, but the town of Warrenton public works department stopped picking up glass at residents’ curbs this year. Town council members said Tuesday that they want to find a way to reinstate the program, citing displeasure about the change expressed by many of their constituents.

The frustration over changes to the town’s curbside pickup program is part of a much broader situation.

In 2018, China announced it would stop importing materials to recycle, leaving much of the world scrambling to find other markets for its recyclables.

Recycling has traditionally been a source of net revenue for localities like Warrenton and Fauquier, as

companies – based largely in China – would buy raw materials to recycle and re-sell to manufacturers. “More recently,” said a 2020 Warrenton public works report, “[recycling] has become another built-in cost for taxpayers to pick up due to a host of market changes.”

Even without the shock that China’s decision had on the global market, the report said, “our recycling program has become outdated and is financially unsustainable.”

The end to the curbside pickup of glass was one of several “efficiencies” enacted by the town’s public works department since last year.

Glass collected at residents’ curbs often came to the county landfill broken, endangering the county workers who sort the materials by hand and forcing large amounts of the glass to be discarded as regular

trash, said public works director Frank Cassidy at a work session Tuesday.

Other “efficiencies” include the move to reusable plastic recycling bins — the blue bags previously used for curbside recycling pickup had to be discarded each time, adding waste and $12,500 in annual costs to the program — and ceasing to pick up trash and recycling at commercial properties that produce waste beyond a typical residence.

Those other changes have been more-or-less manageable, said council members Tuesday, although some longtime town residents are frustrated by alterations to what they’ve come to expect over the years. The glass issue, however, has been more of a sticking point.

Supervisors discuss ideas for spending $13.8 million in federal funds

Supervisors move forward on plan to bring fiber-optic internet to 10,500 homes

Fauquier County supervisors discussed publicly for the first time Sept. 9 a tentative spending plan for the $13.8 million the county is receiving as part of the federal American Rescue Plan Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in March. A public hearing on the use of funds was held in May, but no members of the public chose to comment.

The largest share of the county’s allocation looks likely to go toward funding a high-speed internet project.

That project could bring fiber-optic internet access to more than 10,000 homes and businesses in the county.

To that end, as much as $10 million – or slightly more — could be used to incentivize an internet provider to run high-speed to homes and businesses not currently served by a high-speed wired internet connection.

The county budget office compiled a tentative spending framework and presented it to supervisors Thursday, but budget director Lisa Henty emphasized that supervisors have a great deal of flexibility going forward.

The framework includes: $1.4 million for administrative expenses related to compliance with federal reporting requirements and project oversight; $1 million for personal protective equipment; $502,000 to

“We have to be very cognizant that the wired services that exist today at the top of the market do not even scratch the surface, do not even come close [to what All Points would provide in the fiber-optic project],” said Granger, whose district is almost entirely serviced by Comcast and therefore ineligible for the All Points project.

The county would, essentially, be providing a $6,100-per-home service to residents of rural areas while those in more developed areas would continue paying the same rates for the same internet services, he argued. “Tax dollars are being used to decide who the haves-and-the-have-nots are.”

Other supervisors said that they agreed with his concerns but said that the unique opportunity finally to achieve something close to universal broadband access in the county was even more important.

Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, for instance, whose Marshall District is mostly rural, said that “this would be a game changer for businesses to operate from home,” therefore driving economic activity in the county as well as helping residents connect to the internet for work, school and entertainment.

fund two new custodial positions for five years; $268,000 for a “crisis intervention team assessment center,” a mental health crisis cooperative program among the sheriff’s office, Warrenton police and Fauquier Hospital; and $100,009 toward the renovation of the former community services building on Hospital Hill for use as a residential step-down addiction treatment center.

The tentative spending plan presented to supervisors Sept. 9 included $4 million for the broadband project. In response to a question from Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District), however, Henty said that more than $10 million could be allocated for the project if supervisors choose.

Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District) asked Henty to explore how the money could be used to give county-employed first responders either bonuses or pay increases.

Supervisors have time to decide what to do with the funds. The deadline for allocating the money is Dec. 31, 2024, giving the supervisors more than three years — if needed — to decide what exactly to do with it.

The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act was passed along party lines by congressional Democrats (no Republican voted for the bill) and

signed into law March 11, almost exactly a year after the passage of the CARES Act, the first major stimulus bill meant to aid a broad swatch of the economy during the pandemic, including local and state government.

In addition to the Fauquier County government’s allocation, the Town of Warrenton will receive $10.4 million, Remington, $682,700 and The Plains, $244,900. The Fauquier County School Division has also been allocated $5.9 million so far, although that figure is expected to rise slightly.

Separately, Virginia was allocated $4.4 billion from the federal package — $700 million of which was dedicated to expanding broadband access in rural areas.

The latest federal allocation to the county is $3.3 million more than the total amount allocated to Fauquier by the CARES Act last year. American Rescue Plan funds also have far fewer restrictions on how they can be used by localities, as expenditures don’t necessarily need to be justified by impacts related to the pandemic.

The American Rescue Plan puts a “significant focus on utilizing funds to strengthen communities and make important changes for future generations,” summarized a Fauquier budget office explainer.

More than 200 gather to remember the events of 9/11

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Leaders and residents of southern Fauquier County gathered at the Sumerduck Ruritan Club on Saturday to remember those lost on Sept.

11, 2001 in the terrorist attack on the Pentagon in Arlington, the World Trade Center in New York and on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

Bill Glenz, who could see the smoke from the Pentagon strike from his office on the day of the tragedy, has organized the event every year so that Americans don’t forget.

Members of the American Legion Post 247 and auxiliary; local leaders – including Supervisor Chris Butler (Lee District), Fauquier County Sheriff Robert Mosier and Del.

Mark Cole (R-88th) -- joined pastors Mike Mueller of Rock Hill Baptist Church in Stafford and Chaz Campbell of the Calverton Baptist Church, local Boy Scouts, the Liberty High School Chorus and JROTC for the ceremony. More than 100 residents were present as well.

One of the themes of the day was unity. Several speakers spoke of the division that currently exists in the country. Mosier and Butler called for attendees to remember the unity the country felt during the days following 9/11 and to strive for those patriotic feelings – and actions -- again.

Butler said, “We talked of unity after 9/11; we spoke of ways to come together. I want to live in that America again.”

He remembered how on Sept.

12, drivers let others cut in front of them in traffic, neighbors held the door open for one another, and there “were flags everywhere.”

“Before 9/11, we were a divided country. Now, 20 years later, we are again… If we can get back to 9/12.”

Butler pointed to the American flag, and said, “We’ll make her proud again.”

A Freedom Flag was presented to the Sumerduck Ruritan Club by Sandy Kilby, president of the American Legion Post 247 Auxiliary. The Freedom Flag is a national symbol of remembrance for those who were lost on 9/11.

Below is a timeline for the events on Sept. 11, 2001, as read by Bill Glenz at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony at the Sumerduck Ruritan Club.

8:46 a.m.: Flight 11 crashes into the north face of the north tower of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99. All 81 passengers and 11 crewmembers are killed.

9:03 a.m.: Flight 175 crashes into the south face of the south tower of the World Trade Center, between floors 77 and 85. Parts of the plane, including the starboard engine, leave the building from its east and north sides, falling to the ground six blocks away. All 56 passengers and nine crewmembers are killed.

9:37 a.m.: Flight 77 crashes into the western side of The Pentagon and starts a violent fire. Fifty-eight passengers and six crewmembers are killed. One-hundred and twentyfive military and civilian personnel are killed inside the Pentagon.

9:59 a.m.: The south tower of the World Trade Center collapses, 56 minutes after the impact of Flight 175.

10:03 a.m.: Flight 93 is crashed by its hijackers and passengers, as a result of fighting in the cockpit, at Shanksville, 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. All 37 passengers and seven crew members are killed. Later reports indicate that passengers had learned about the World Trade Center and Pentagon crashes and were resisting the hijackers. The 9/11 Commission believed that Flight 93’s target was either the United States Capitol building or the White House in Washington, D.C. 10:28 a.m.: The north tower of the World Trade Center collapses, 1 hour, 42 minutes after the impact of Flight 11. The Marriott Hotel, located at the base of the two towers, is also destroyed.

10:50 a.m.: Five stories of part of the Pentagon collapse due to the fire.

5:20 p.m.: 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story building, collapses.

More than 2,606 first responders and civilians were killed inside the World Trade Center and as a result of the collapse of the towers.

During Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, more than 2,600 American service men and woman have been killed.

Operation Iraqi Freedom has claimed the lives of almost 5,000 American Service members.

Post 247, rang a caption’s bell for all those who died.

Then Smoot and Ron Roberts, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7728, placed a 9/11 commemorative wreath at the foot of the Ruritan Club’s flagpole.

Glentz vowed to reconvene next year – and every year after – to remember the sacrifices of those who died because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

A wounded warrior remembers battling the Taliban in Afghanistan WARRIOR, from page 1 It was before first period. We had TVs on in the common areas. I was watching when the second plane hit.

After a little bit of college, I started talking to the military recruiters more.

The Air Force and Navy offered me two special forces programs for para-rescuers and air combat commandos, but I signed a five-year, security forces contract with the Marines and went to boot camp in California.

In 2011, I deployed to Afghanistan. We had a lot of really ridiculous rules of engagement that kept our hands tied in a lot of cases. The day I got blown up [June 28, 2011] was one of the first times they lifted a lot of those rules of engagement so we could go do an operation.

We hiked five or six hours from our patrol base, on foot most of the time. We stopped and rested twice. I switched off carrying the heavy machine gun with my gunner. There were quite a few IED hits that day, but nothing serious (at first) with the group of riflemen I was with. Nothing life-threatening.

We had just taken what turned out to be the compound of the local Taliban commander. Good intel wasn’t passed along, so we didn’t know it was his compound. If we had, I can’t say we would have been more cautious -- we were always cautious with the amount of IEDs out there — but we might have had a little bit less lax mindset. We were unpacking and pretty much relaxed there for the day.

Most of the time, once we win a gunfight, which we always did, the Taliban leave, and just stay gone and regroup and fight somewhere else a different day. But this time they regrouped and ambushed some Marines we had on the outside of the compound holding security. One of my buddies died from that ambush.

Myself and another machine gunner, we went up to the rooftop of the compound. It was a two-story building made of mud and hay with a flat roof.

The Taliban were maybe a good 300 to 400 yards away. They were small dots.

If we weren’t in a fire fight, we probably would have noticed the roof was discolored where they’d dug it up to put the IED in. Rooftop IEDs are rare.

I turned around and called for some ammo. Really, this is the only part I didn’t remember, but apparently as soon as I pivoted back around to reload the machine gun, that’s when the IED went off.

It’s kind of weird because a little bit of this is kind of like the movies. I could see the spot where I was standing and there was like a clear circle or halo underneath me, then in slow motion, it started to break apart and fall through. Then I hit the roof and the roof caved in.

The next thing I knew I had a bunch of my buddies jumping on top of me, dragging me. I didn’t realize it was them at first. I was punching and throwing people off me. I don’t know what I was thinking. I might have been snatched up [by the Taliban]. They held my arms until I realized it was them. I go to myself, “OK, that’s cool, I don’t have to stab anybody or whatever.”

“A lot of us got the feeling, ‘OK, so the time we spent over there and the buddies we lost, was that pointless now?’ I don’t think it was pointless.”

I guess I blocked my gunner from taking most of the blast. He was bleeding a little bit, had a concussion, but other than that, he was fine. Oddly enough, my clothes were ripped; all his clothes got blown off.

Even as they were trying to calm me down, I could feel they were putting tourniquets on my legs and arms. My buddy Marino did most of it. We sat there – I lay there – and talked until the birds came in. As soon as the Taliban heard the helicopters come in, they took off.

We had run out of litters from other injuries, so they grabbed a ladder and put a sheet on it and I think put a sheet over me, as well, and carried me to the helicopter that way. It was a British unit that flew in.

They took me to Camp Leatherneck and from there to Landstuhl [Medical Center] in Germany and from there to Walter Reed [where both legs and his left arm were amputated].

I believe they could have salvaged my left leg but, at that point, they had me too drugged up to ask me, which is fine. I see guys who had a salvaged limb; not all, but a majority of them end up coming back and getting that limb amputated because it was causing too much pain.

I got blown up on June 28, 2011, and, in total, I spent almost three years at Walter Reed – a good year of intense rehab, physical therapy, working with the prosthetics and things like that, and after that, more classes including separation classes and next steps. I medically retired in October 2013.

Personally I’m doing pretty good.

Just living, living life, trying to work and get my business running and moving. You can call it an advertisement and investment fund type thing. At least, that is what I’d like it to be in the long run.

I still have a lot of stuff to do. I generally don’t have a negative outlook on anything. I’m not one of the guys — well, we’ve had a few guys we had to go and pull out of their basement because they were only leaving the house to buy food and something to drink.

I go to the V.A. for general medical care, but all my prosthetics I still do at Walter Reed. They actually have a prosthetic lab right there where they make all the corrections. The V.A. has to make a cast of the limb, mill it out and wait for it to come back.

I break my hand prosthetic quite often just because I’m pretty active, but not my legs. I got an operation called

an osseointegration where they connect metal to the femurs, and you connect your prosthetic to that. That’s a lot better for balance and shoulder prosthetic.

You always see me in prosthetics when I leave the house, but at home, I generally don’t have them on. I might have some really short prosthetics on, close to the ground, which are more comfortable and have better balance.

[Before moving to Sumerduck] I used to be really, really short-tempered about people who would break their neck staring at me. Back then I’d say, “You got a question to ask?

Stop staring.” Now either I won’t say anything or ask them a little bit nicer if they have a question.

I have a lot of different thoughts, a lot of emotions [about the pullout from Afghanistan]. A lot of us got the feeling, “OK, so the time we spent over there and the buddies we lost, was that pointless now?’

I don’t think it was pointless. I think a lot about the families we were helping. Maybe it’s me reaching to find a positive, but there was a time period where it was a lot more peaceful. Families didn’t have to hide their daughters all the time. The Taliban wasn’t coming around forcing them to do things. The Taliban was coming around trying to cut deals with them, stuff like that.

That bothers me a lot.

Other than that, I have no regrets at all. My only regret is I can’t deploy more.

Supervisors defer decision on proposed Midland asphalt plant

By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

A proposal for an asphalt plant in the Midland Service District remains in limbo after the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors decided Sept. 9 to defer a final vote until next month.

The proposed plant has faced growing opposition from area residents over concerns that such a development would negatively impact the environment, depress property values and produce dangerous levels of truck traffic. Supervisors decided to delay the vote to address some of these concerns.

Although the site is already zoned for in-

dustrial use, the proposal by Allan Myers, Inc., a Pennsylvania-based paving company, still requires a special exception permit because the plant would involve manufacturing.

When the Allan Myers application went before the county planning commission last month, commissioners unanimously recommended that it be denied, singling out the plant’s potential effect on traffic and road safety as a primary concern. But other than a public comment submitted by the Piedmont Environmental Council, the plant faced no public resistance then.

Supervisors delay action on religious venue zoning amendment Proposed Assemblies of God facility avoids added scrutiny

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

A proposed zoning amendment that would change the approval process for constructing larger religious venues is on hold for now after county supervisors postponed a vote until next month.

That decision has immediate implications for the regional Assemblies of God governing body; its proposal to build a 31,000-square-foot “multi-purpose worship center” will avoid scrutiny by the planning commission and board of supervisors.

The church group had threatened to sue if the pending zoning language was applied to its application.

Fauquier supervisors faced an organized wall of opposition to the amendment at a public hearing Sept. 9, as local pastors took turns at the microphone to decry what they claimed is an effort to “chase out all the churches.” About a dozen other pastors and their supporters cheered the speakers from a packed meeting room and from overflow spaces throughout the Warren Green Building.

In response, supervisors tried to lower the temperature of the debate, explaining the proposed language is an effort to ensure proposals of large

Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District) listens as civil engineer Jim Carson addresses the board Sept. 9. Carson is representing the Assemblies of God regional governing body in its application to build a 31,000-square-foot “multipurpose worship center” outside Warrenton. At the meeting, supervisors chose to exempt that application, which is currently pending at the board of zoning appeals, from any additional zoning scrutiny. religious venues are reviewed sufficiently to ensure those venues won’t have an overly adverse impact on the safety and welfare of churchgoers or on the surrounding area – especially traffic safety. The proposed language is also less restrictive than that of some surrounding jurisdictions, they pointed out.

Currently, “places of worship” – regardless of scale — constructed in the county must obtain a special

zoning permit, which is reviewed and either approved or denied by a vote of the Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals. Members of that board are appointed by a circuit court judge and are not accountable to any elected officials. The zoning board has little latitude to impose conditions on an application beyond what is specifically laid out in the county’s existing zoning laws or its comprehensive plan.

The proposed zoning amendment would keep that approval process the same for “places of worship” applications of a smaller scale. But for religious venues exceeding 10,000 square feet or 300 seats, the amendment would require applicants to obtain a special exception permit, which must undergo a review and vote by the Fauquier County Planning Commission (whose members are appointed by the board of supervisors) and county supervisors themselves.

The Assemblies of God application to build a facility outside Warrenton is currently before the zoning appeals board. Supervisors emphasized Sept. 9 that, even if they pass the new zoning language, they will exempt the current Assemblies of God application from the new requirements. The church group’s representatives have said they feel “targeted” by the proposed zoning amendment.

The fate of the Assemblies of God application is scheduled to be decided Oct. 7 after zoning board members voted to defer a decision on the church group’s special permit application until next month. Two of the board’s four members voted to deny the application outright at their Sept. 2 meeting, citing what they described as “deficiencies” in the application as it pertains to land use, but that motion failed on a tie vote.

Supervisors delay action on religious venue zoning amendment ZONING, from page 10

Supervisors strike conciliatory tone

Seven local Christian religious leaders spoke in opposition to the proposed amendment at the Sept. 9 public hearing. They cited fears circulating in emails among themselves recently that the supervisors were trying to “drive churches out [of Fauquier County],” as one Assemblies of God pastor told the board.

The pastors argued they should be exempt from a more rigorous zoning review process because they believe the process would be prohibitively expensive, taking money away from charitable work. “There are services that the churches provide that the county is obviously not providing,” in the words of Pastor Dennis Di Mauro of Trinity Lutheran Church in Warrenton.

“Fauquier County Social Services calls us; they call me,” he continued.

“They say, ‘Do you have some help for some guy; he’s stuck in a hotel room, and he needs to stay overnight.’ I guess my question is: Who are they going to call now, if they chase out all the churches?”

The organized show of opposition stood in stark contrast to an Aug. 19 public hearing on the text amendment, when no one showed up to speak. After that hearing, planning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend that the board of supervisors approve the new zoning language.

Supervisors were visibly moved by the pastors’ testimony and collectively decided after the Sept. 9 public hearing to postpone voting on the matter until they could talk about the issue with the concerned parties.

“It would make sense for some of us to sit down with some of the pastors and talk about it,” said Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott District) at the conclusion of the public hearing, “and explain why we see a need [for a new zoning review process] and hear from them how it would impact them and see if we can come up with something that maybe works better for everyone involved here.”

He asked the pastors in the room to reach out to him directly.

Board Chairman Chris Granger (Center District), who is sponsoring the zoning amendment, agreed to postpone the vote but urged the public to consider the facts about how the zoning review process works in the county – and the purpose of that process.

“To clear the air – and again, I’m willing to talk to anybody out here about these concerns – the characterization that the special exception process is 24 months long and that it’s astronomically expensive is factually incorrect,” he said, addressing claims made by some of the pastors.

“The difference between the special permit process and the special exception process is – for a church – the application fee is $0 for a special permit; it’s $0 for a special expectation because you’re a nonprofit,” he explained.

Supervisor Chris Granger (Center District) listens as Pastor Dennis Di Mauro of Trinity Lutheran Church addresses the board during the Sept.

9 public hearing.

“About what’s been insinuated tonight about the special exception process: When the special exception process doesn’t work well is when a round peg shows up to go through a square hole,” he said, referencing as an example an unsuccessful application to build a data center in a residential neighborhood.

“What special exception processes do is, when the application comes in, there’s actually a planning commissioner and a supervisor who represent where that church – in this case — where that church is going to be located. The [board of zoning appeals] is an unelected body that is appointed by a circuit court judge.

And they don’t necessarily live in that magisterial district,” emphasizing what he said is the importance of having local representation in deciding land-use matters.

Granger said the idea that there is “big difference between the two processes is simply not accurate.” A special exception process for larger religious venues “would just make sure what this board and the planning commission is charged with – health, safety and welfare — and that box is checked more rigorously than it is at the [zoning appeals board].”

He emphasized that supervisors are not accusing any past religious-venue applicant of any wrongdoing, adding that the problem was with the county’s existing approval processes.

Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel (Marshall District) echoed Granger’s statements. “I think there’s a misconception here from the public about what we’re trying to accomplish,” she said. “It’s primarily for safety.” She cited as an example Bridge Community Church’s need to hire sheriff’s deputies on Sundays to direct traffic on U.S. 15/17/29 because there is an insufficient turn lane at the facility.

“The last thing any of us want is for anyone going to church to get injured, to get in an accident at church,” McDaniel continued. “That’s our primary goal, here. [It] is: How can we enhance public safety?” She said that the supervisors simply don’t feel that the zoning board’s review process is robust enough to review potential impacts to public safety, especially for larger religious venues.

“I think at the end of the day, we can come up with something that everyone will be happy with.”

A 2-year-old child was taken to Fauquier Hospital for “seizure-like symptoms” on Sept. 6; the child was found to have cocaine in their bloodstream, according to an affidavit for a search warrant filed by a Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputy.

As the result of an investigation, a Bealeton man has been arrested and charged with child endangerment.

The child has since been released from the hospital and is recovering.

On Sept. 6, Cole Winkel, 21, accompanied a 2-year-old child to Fauquier Hospital for seizure-like symptoms, said Sgt. Steven Lewis of the FCSO. After being evaluated, the child was found to have narcotics in their system and was transferred to INOVA Fairfax Hospital for further treatment, according to the search warrant affidavit.

Fauquier’s Department of Social Services notified sheriff’s office detectives of the child’s condition.

During an investigation, detectives and staff at Child Protective Services learned that Winkel had used narcotics at his home with the 2-year-old child present, said Lewis.

Lewis said that Winkel consented to a urine screen through Child Protective Services. During the screening, Winkel was in possession of

In addition to the child endangerment charge, Winkel was also charged with possession of schedule I or II drug, and defeating a drug and alcohol screen, on Wednesday, Sept.

8, said Lewis.

Winkel is being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center with no bond, said Lewis.

Marshall woman faces felony charges for alleged domestic assault A Marshall woman was arrested on Saturday, Sept. 11 for allegedly assaulting a man with a glass bottle during an argument at a Calverton residence. Amanda Coles, 41, has been charged with malicious wounding and felony domestic assault.

On the evening of Sept. 11, deputies with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence on Bristersburg Road and observed a large crowd around a man “covered in blood,” according to Sgt. Steven Lewis of the FCSO. The man told deputies that he and Coles had been arguing inside his apartment, according to a criminal complaint filed with the arrest.

When the man tried to leave, the complaint continued, Coles “took a glass liquor bottle and slammed it on the back of his head,” shattering the bottle.

The man suffered wounds to the back of his neck and his right hand, according to the complaint, and was treated by paramedics at the scene.

He refused to be taken to the hospital, however, said Lewis.

Coles, who had fled the scene in her car, was later pulled over by deputies on the Eastern Bypass in Warrenton, said the FCSO spokesman.

When questioned, Coles admitted “she did take a glass liquor bottle

The man said he had “never physically assaulted Amanda,” according to the complaint.

After an investigation, deputies deemed Coles the “primary aggressor” of the incident and placed her under arrest, said Lewis. She remains in custody at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center with no bond.

POLICE BRIEFS Bealeton man arrested for threatening woman with firearm Bealeton man arrested for threatening woman with firearm A Bealeton man was arrested in the early hours of Sept. 3 for allegedly threatening a woman with a handgun during an argument. Sandoval Torres, 47, has been charged with brandishing a firearm, assault and battery and removing the serial number of a firearm.

On the night of Sept. 2, a Fauquier deputy responded to a residence on the 5400 block of Bealeton Road in Bealeton and spoke with a woman who said that Torres had “put a gun to the left side of her head after an argument,” according to a criminal complaint filed with the arrest. The woman, the complaint continued, said that Torres had taken “the safety off and stated ‘it would take nothing to get rid of you.’”

A consent search of the residence yielded a “black and silver handgun” with the serial number removed.

When questioned by the deputy, Torres admitted that the gun belonged to him and that he had purchased it from a friend “but could not remember his friend’s name,” the complaint said.

ASPHALT, from page 9 In the days leading up to the Sept. 9 supervisors meeting, however, county officials were flooded with more than 600 emails and mailers from residents urging supervisors to deny Allan Myers a special exception permit.

At the morning session on Sept.

9, Center District Supervisor Chris Granger pointed out that the public may have some misconceptions about the zoning issues at hand. “I would probably categorize at least half of what was in that letter as extremely misleading,” he said, referencing the pre-printed mailer that many residents sent in. The notion that the land was not properly zoned for an asphalt plant, he said, was particularly misleading. “That entire [Midland Road] corridor is industrially-zoned land.”

Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo said, “This is tough because we do want to be business-friendly and encourage growth in our service districts. But we’ve also had significant feedback from the public on their concerns about this — and most of them are concerns around traffic.”

If constructed on the proposed Midland Road location, the asphalt plant would see trucks making hundreds of daily trips during peak season (June through October), according to a report by the Fauquier

Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo acknowledged the traffic concerns raised by residents were valid, but also asked that they consider the area’s industrial zoning.

Department of Community Development. Residents have argued that area roads, particularly Midland Road and U.S. 28, wouldn’t be able to support that much additional traffic.

While expressing similar concerns, supervisors pointed out that the county has invested in an industrially-zoned service district in Midland specifically to attract new businesses to the area. Instead of denying Allan Myers outright, they argued, the county should take some responsibility for the traffic situation.

Doc5 Middleburg film festival presents documentaries

The film “The Conductor” is about Marin Alsop, the only female conductor of a major symphony orchestra.

Four carefully curated documentaries will be shown Sept. 15 to 18, during a special event called Doc5 Middleburg. Now in its second year, the goal of Doc5 Middleburg is “to bring the community together to celebrate multiple points of view and to value and respect differences of opinion,” said a press release.

“We want people to learn from the films, but also from each other,” said Doc5 co-founder Tom Foster of The Plains. “We have chosen a great slate of new and exciting movies.” Information and trailers on each film, as well as tickets, can be found at www.doc5middleburg.com. Tickets are $20 per person, per film. Films will be shown outside on the lawn of the Middleburg Community Center; COVID protocols will be followed.

Wednesday, Sept. 15, the documentary is about dancer/choreographer Alvin Ai-

ley. It’s Foster’s personal favorite. “Great doc about a kid who came from humble beginnings, had a dream, made it big and then real life challenged it all,” he said.

“Fauci,” featured on Thursday, “is a startlingly candid and revealing study of the man who has been guiding us through the past 18 months,” said Foster. Courtesy of National Geographic films, the film follows Dr. Anthony Fauci through his service to six U.S. presidents, from HIV to Ebola to COVID-19.

Friday night’s documentary, “The Conductor,” is a film about Marin Alsop, the only female conductor of a major symphony orchestra (Baltimore) in the world. Foster describes it as “a quieter film that pulls you in and packs a wallop in terms of message.” Bernadette Wegenstein, the film’s director, will be present for the evening with an introduction to the film and for a Q and A session.

A gala will be held Saturday, including cocktails in the recently renovated Terrace Room of the Middleburg Community Center and a dinner in the ballroom. This will be followed by a private viewing of “Paper and Glue,” which is about Parisian visual artist JR. Some tickets are still available for the gala.

Doc5 Middleburg is presented in collaboration with The Chicago Media Project, which works with and funds documentarians around the world and hosts the Doc10 all-documentary film festival in Chicago. The group also sponsors various Doc5 events around the country, including Middleburg’s.

CMP founders Paula Froehle and Steve Cohen will attend the gala.

The festival began on Tuesday, Sept.

14, with “After Antarctica.” Foster describes it as “a timely film that will put into perspective how crucial the seventh continent is to our eco-balance.”

How far back must we go to correct the mistakes of the past?

I understand now that our Lord Fairfax Community College will soon be having a new name because, among other reasons, Lord Fairfax once own slaves over 300 years ago. ... Yes, he was born in 1693, died 1781 and owned 97 slaves.

When will this all end? Are they planning on changing the name of the Washington Monument? And the Jefferson Memorial? Or are they

already considering these changes and I’m just not aware.

I thought we were supposed to learn from our mistakes in the past and leave it there to remind us.

But now, as of Sept. 9, the statue of Robert E. Lee has been removed, but two statues of George Floyd remain in New Jersey and New York.

NANCY ANDERSON Warrenton

Remembering the sacrifices of 9/11 first responders The remembrance was written by Thomas Hawkins, retired fire chief in Alexandria, Virginia. On Sept.

11, 2001, he was responsible for the City of Alexandria’s response to the events of the day. On the day after the attack, he and his crew assisted Arlington County first responders.

Sept. 11, 2001, is etched into the souls of all Americans. That morning, first responders became warriors in the face of multiple disasters.

On this date, The United States of America was attacked by foreign aggressors. For Americans, this was surreal. No one attacks America!

When the first plane hit the World Trade Center, many thought it was a horrible accident. When the second plane hit, we realized this was an attack on our country.

Later, another plane crashed into the Pentagon and the fourth plane, Flight 93, crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Speculation is that this plane was intended to attack the White House or the Capitol.

No one knew at this point that hundreds of first responders would be called into action. From the largest fire department in America (Fire Department of New York) to a small volunteer department in Shanksville

Pennsylvania, fire and EMS went into action.

In Northern Virginia, the responding fire departments closed ranks and operated as one response agency.

I vividly remember looking at the television and saying to my staff, “There will be a large civilian loss of life, and many New York City Fire Department firefighters will die.”

I knew that FDNY would go put the fire out and rescue trapped building occupants. They would climb the stairs with hoses, tools and other necessary equipment. The death toll of FDNY members was more than 330 people; approximately 3,000 civilians died in the attack. There were hundreds of physical and emotional injuries on the ground.

Shortly before the Twin Towers collapsed, American Airlines flight 77 was flown into the Pentagon’s west side. It penetrated three rings of the building. This building was built like a fortress. No one would have guessed that within two hours of the crash, one whole section would collapse.

Arlington County Fire Department responded and began the arduous task of fighting the fire, rescuing victims and searching for additional

victims. Fire and emergency medical personnel from Northern Virginia, Washington D.C. and Reagan National Airport responded with many on-duty personnel.

This operation was hindered by the massive area of the Pentagon.

Approximately 189 people died in the attack and many more were injured, physically and emotionally.

People were pouring out of the building trying to find safety. Many were injured and needed treatment. Regional response agencies dispatched many medic units and other mass causality equipment.

Television reports showed survivors running away from the crash site.

It was chaos, but eventuality the Arlington County Fire Department gained control of the incident. That control lasted about four days and then the FBI was in command.

The passengers of Flight 93 attacked the terrorist [flying their plane] and prevented greater damage -- and lost their lives. The flight crews valiantly fought to save their aircraft and the lives on board.

When flight 93 crashed, 56 people perished. The valor displayed by passengers was a sign that Americans do care about their country and were willing to die for it.

Grant money available to reduce run-off pollution As Fauquier County works to meet the challenge of reducing pollution flowing into its streams, we urge the county to consider seeking a grant from the $75 million that Virginia’s Stormwater Local Assistance Fund has available to localities for this purpose (Fauquier Times, Sept. 1, “County’s pollution reduction efforts falling short of state-mandated targets”).

Fauquier’s stormwater permit is far from being an “unfunded mandate,” as stated by a county official. Since 2014, the state has invested tens of millions of dollars to help localities reduce polluted runoff through this fund.

Effective stormwater management projects reduce pollution to the Chesapeake Bay, but they also improve the quality of life for Virginians by helping to restore the health of local streams and rivers, including Cedar Run, the Rappahannock and the Potomac.

Better management of runoff from heavy rains

also reduces local flooding, and projects like restored wetlands can help preserve the health of verdant rural and agricultural communities and add to community amenities like parks in our towns.

Localities across Virginia with far fewer resources than Fauquier are meeting stormwater targets. Fauquier ranks among the wealthiest counties in the United States but lags far behind in work to reduce pollution.

If funding is needed, we encourage Fauquier County to submit its first application to the Department of Environmental Quality for a matching grant from the Stormwater Local Assistance Fund. By reducing pollution, the county will build a better future for its residents.

PEGGY SANNER Chesapeake Bay Foundation Virginia Executive Director

In the aftermath, many stories were told and reported on the heroic actions of fire responders. On a trip, I met a doctor from Atlanta. After some conversation he asked me if I had responded to the Pentagon? I said yes, but not until the second day.

I saw some sadness in his face. He said his sister worked at the Pentagon and died when the plane hit her office. He said she took a direct hit.

On that day, many fire and EMS personnel reported for duty and started their normal morning activities. All emergency response personnel know there will always be another call for help. They just do not know when.

Between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., many responders were at the scene’s horrendous events. They performed their sworn duties knowing that they may not go home. First responders would tell you they are not heroes; they were just doing their job! And thankfully, they did an outstanding job and should be remembered.

We should all stop and say “thank you” to the first responders and remember those who perished that day.

Don’t be fooled: Women’s rights are on the ballot this November I sat in stunned disbelief as I read about the Texas anti-choice law that criminalizes all abortions after six weeks, with no exception for rape or incest. The law effectively bans abortion before many women even know they are pregnant and incentivizes private citizens to sue anyone they suspect is involved in facilitating an abortion – paying them $10,000 if their lawsuit prevails. This law has frightening implications for our Virginia elections.

In reviewing our local candidates’ policy positions on abortion, there is a consistent theme. Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin said in a videotaped conversation that he would go “on offense” to limit abortion access once elected governor. The website for Del. Michael Webert (R-18th) states that he, “believes life begins at conception and is 100% pro-life.” It is clear that abortion access could be greatly limited or denied if they are elected.

Republican candidate for the 88th District, Phillip Scott, underscores his “tireless devotion to protecting the unborn.” The Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, Winsome Sears, recently said in a television interview that she would support a law in Virginia based on the Texas one.

These candidates claim to be “pro-life” and yet that stance seems to only apply to controlling women’s reproductive choices. They are opposed to bills that regulate or limit

Snow Hill residents say thanks to government officials Recently the Snow Hill HOA Board of Directors had the opportunity to work with several government entities in order to resolve a long-term issue for our community.

We could not be more pleased with how our officials worked with us, and with each other, to help us.

We’d like to thank Holder Trumbo (Fauquier Board of Supervisors), Mark Nesbit (Virginia Department of Transportation), Sheriff Bob Mosier, First Sgt. Lance Davenport (FCSO) and Adam Shellenberger (Fauquier Transportation Committee) for all of their support in helping us reach our community’s goals.

They served as a tremendous example of our government officials working together to quickly and efficiently solve a problem. They listened to us and our neighbors, valued our concerns and worked with each other to achieve results.

We can’t say enough good things about our interaction with them.

So again, we just wanted to take this opportunity to say “thank you” to those individuals. We appreciate everything they do for Fauquier County.

JENNY GONZALEZ Snow Hill HOA board of directors

firearms possession, such as SB 479, which prohibits individuals subject to a protective order from possessing a firearm, or HB 9, which requires the reporting of lost or stolen firearms.

These are commonsense measures that might have saved some of the 1,025 Virginians who died from gun violence in 2019 (Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics), in the most recent year for which data is available. Eighty-seven percent of those who died were children or teens under the age of 19.

My delegate, Webert, voted “no” on the measure to prohibit individuals subject to a protective order from possessing a firearm. He voted “no” on establishing gun-free zones on school board property. Pro-life?

He voted against accepting federal funds to expand Medicaid, which ended up providing health care coverage to more than 400,000 Virginians. Pro-life?

He voted against raising the minimum wage. Pro-life?

He voted against a bill to prohibit LGBTQ discrimination in employment, housing, health care and other services and goods offered to the general public. Pro-life?

By contrast, the Democratic majority in our state legislature has enacted several measures protecting a woman’s reproductive freedom. These include: eliminating Virginia’s mandatory ultrasound law that would force a woman seeking an abortion to endure

an unnecessary and intrusive procedure; eliminating a required 24-hour waiting period and counseling process, and rolling back unnecessary restrictions on reproductive health centers -restrictions that were aimed at closing those centers offering abortions.

The Democratic candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe, has pledged to work with our state legislators to pass an amendment to the Constitution of Virginia permanently codifying the protections provided through Roe v. Wade. He is committed to addressing women’s health care inequities that result in poor prenatal care and maternal mortality that particularly affect women of color.

In May 2021, Hala Ayala, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, released her “reproductive rights” plan which includes passing a constitutional amendment to codify the right to an abortion, ensuring access to contraceptive care, starting a paid Family and Medical Leave Program and addressing maternal, fetal and infant mortality in our state.

Our current District 31 delegate, Democrat Elizabeth Guzman, is a strong proponent of a woman’s right to choose and to obtain quality reproductive health care. She was a co-sponsor of the General Assembly bill to ease restrictions for abortion coverage in state health insurance plans.

Why is this so critical? We are seeing a trend among states with a Republican majority towards ex-

tremist laws that will dramatically impact a women’s right to control her own body and life choices, while those same Republicans assert their rights to forgo their COVID vaccine or wear a mask in the midst of a deadly pandemic.

We must protect the inherent right — the constitutional right — of women in Virginia to make the difficult decisions involved in sustaining a pregnancy. For those of us who have experienced pregnancy and childbirth, we know the experience stays with you for the good or the bad.

This is real life: a life where young girls are sexually abused by a relative or family friend, high school and college girls are date raped, couples are faced with the horrific news of serious, fatal fetal deformities and women are subjected to heart-wrenching decisions after a failed attempt at birth control.

If your religious or personal beliefs dictate that you will not use contraception or get an abortion, so be it. Don’t.

However, do not impose your belief system on the rest of us.

This is a nation that prides itself on freedom from religious oppression and government interference in our health care choices. Witness the lack of vaccine mandates.

Please stand up for Virginia women and vote for the Democrats in November.

Allan Myers executive Curtis Hall, speaking at the Sept. 9 public hearing, said that the company’s proposal is an appropriate use for the site and is in line with the county’s comprehensive plan.

Supervisors defer decision on proposed Midland asphalt plant ASPHALT, from page 15 “If we have any hope of this becoming an industrial park, that intersection has to be improved,” Granger said, “Do we tell [Allan Myers] ‘no,’ then improve the intersection and put the welcome sign out?”

Granger specifically mentioned a potential improvement to the intersection of U.S. 28 and Germantown Road.

Greg Ashwell, a local attorney who is representing Allan Myers in the permitting process, said, “We would like to work with the county to ameliorate the traffic issue.”

Before deciding to defer the vote, Trumbo addressed meeting attendees: “Change is inevitable to a certain extent; the question is how we manage that. This is not just farmland that can be farmland forever.

Because it’s zoned industrial, it’s going to be [developed] at some point, and I hope folks just consider that.”

Cedar Run District Supervisor Rick Gerhardt, whose district includes the proposed site, recused himself from the vote because he is on the board of Smith-Midland, Corp., which does business with Allan Myers.

HAPPENING

in Rappahannock

Laurie Smith, Rappahannock Farm Tour executive director, manages a small Nigerian dwarf goat dairy farm with her husband.

Barn doors open Sept. 25, 26 for the Rappahannock Farm Tour

By Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Rappahannock County Farm Tour, taking place Sept. 25 and 26 this year, offers interactive activities with something for everyone. Visitors will be able to purchase items from farms including meat, vegetables, cheese, wine, beer, egg-laying hens, sheep and wool products. There will be equestrian activities, farm-to-table fare and more.

The tour will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine.

The mission of the Rappahannock County Farm Tour, organized by a nonprofit by the same name, is to present “an unforgettable, educational and enriching experience of Rappahannock County’s (agri)culture.”

“We have such a wonderful community that comes together to support one another and the farming community they live in and love,” said Laurie Smith, Rappahannock Farm Tour executive director, who grew up in Fauquier County and relocated to Rappahannock 20 years ago with her husband. The two now manage a small Nigerian dwarf goat dairy farm.

The free farm tour is an opportunity for Rappahannock to showcase all it has to offer to its neighbors. “Residents of Rappahannock are here because they love the open space and beauty of the county. It just takes our breath away, and we are eager to share it,” said Smith.

Britta Johnston, owner of participating Mountain Vista Farm, said, “We love living in Rappahannock County. Our horses thrive in this natural and beautiful environment. Good people surround us and really care about each other.”

“The participants in the tour and the sponsors

of the guidebook [available online and locally in the coming days] strongly believe in local farming and the community. Last year taught us all the value of having a local food system. When stores ran out of food, they turned to local farms and those farms in turn bent over backwards to produce for people. The power of the local food community was evident,” said Smith. “The tour is a chance for our farms to sell some items and gain some new customers and clients,” she added.

Mary Henze, who raises heritage breed sheep at Rock Mills Farm, says the tour “Is a great way to introduce more people to the importance of preserving heritage breeds.”

Happening is a new series from the Fauquier Times highlighting events and new businesses in communities in and around Fauquier County. Look for the next Happening feature Sept. 29, on Marshall.

Susan Hoffman of Belle Meade Montessori School and Farm echoes other participant sentiments: “Belle Meade Montessori School and Farm loves the feeling of community involved in being a part of the Rappahannock County Farm Tour. Organizers and farms are collaborating to celebrate agriculture and working together. Many families enjoy going from farm-to-farm to experience the varied approaches of the participants.

We love that Farm Tour brings so many visitors to our farm.”

Smith recommends planning ahead. “Rappahannock is infamous for its poor internet, although because of COVID and virtual schooling, we do have more hotspots in the county than we have had in the past. We suggest that guests determine their route before heading out,” said Smith. The county’s visitor’s center has internet available for anyone needing it, and visitors center employees are available to answer questions.

Visitors are encouraged to visit the website rappfarmtour.org to plan their itinerary and to find details about farm offerings, including which day farms will be open (some will be participating on only one of the two days).

This is a rain or shine event. Cancellations due to severe weather will be posted on Facebook, Instagram and the website. Terrain is mostly gravel; sensible shoes are recommended. Organizers discourage visitors from bringing dogs, as most farms have livestock guardian dogs.

Sperryville’s eco-restaurant Off the Grid offers good food while staying carbon-neutral

By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Even at a time when organic farms and restaurants are becoming increasingly prevalent in the Piedmont region, Sperryville’s Off the Grid is distinct in its commitment to producing “climate-friendly” food.

Since opening its doors in the summer of 2019, the fully solar-powered café/market has been able to provide a wide array of organic products and locally sourced dishes, all the while striving to remain carbon-neutral and produce no food waste.

“Everything we do here we try to be environmentally conscious,” said owner Sarah Meservey, “as well as turn out tasty food, so it’s a tall order.”

Off the Grid customers can dine outdoors, overlooking the Thornton River.

Off the Grid is located in Sperryville, at 11692 Lee Highway.

Maintaining a 30-kilowatt solar array, a composting operation, a “no bottled beverages” policy and an electric vehicle charging station, to name just a few features, is not the easiest (or cheapest) way to run a restaurant, Meservey acknowledges. But the uncompromising climate-conscious approach, she added, was important to “this idea that we can make a difference.”

A former high school math teacher and self-described environmentalist, Meservey spent almost ten months planning every aspect of the business with her core staff before opening. “A lot of the environmental concerns were at the forefront,” she said. “I had run a café before teaching, but I always thought I could do it better.”

Although Off the Grid sources much of its food from its own working farm or other local farmers, the menu is a surprisingly “eclectic” mixture of dishes from around the globe. Popular dishes in-

clude the Thai curry, the Bahn Mi sandwich, and the pulled pork sandwich— “just things we can source well and make well,” said Meservey.

The market also grows its own hemp -- registered through the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services program -- which is used to make tea and a number of other products.

Like many other businesses, Off the Grid experienced hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s still incredibly difficult to find employees, said Meservey, especially since “we’re in such a remote location.” Due to ongoing staff shortages, the restaurant is closed Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Business has mostly recovered in recent months, however, said Meservey, partially due to increased national park attendance. But “what really sustained us was support from regular customers,” she said. “We always have the greatest customers. We’re blessed in that way.”

FIELD HOCKEY REPORT

MALDONADO SCORES! FALCONS EDGE KETTLE RUN 3-2

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Sept. 7 Fauquier-Kettle Run field hockey game in Warrenton was a pendulum.

The momentum shifted numerous times, with Fauquier scoring first and last in the Northwestern District opener for both units. Those two goals resulted in a 3-2 Falcon victory against their intra-county rival thanks to the tie-breaking goal by senior Zofeya Maldonado.

The Falcons (3-2) roared out of the gate, needing only 88 seconds to tally the first goal. Senior Kennedy Kolar found an opening at the right side of the cage with 13 minutes, 32 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

“We were all excited about the game. I think we were caught off guard,” Kettle Run coach Julie Kuhlberg said of her team.

Both squads threatened without results over the next eight-plus minutes until the Cougars (2-2) evened the score at the 4:55 mark when senior Kiersten Johannesen lifted a reverse stick shot inside the left post from close range.

Fauquier re-took the lead with 3:08 remaining in the second quarter on its first penalty corner of the game. Zofeya Maldonado sent the ball from the left side of the formation to Jackie Timberlake just outside the top of the 16-yard arc. Timberlake passed into the center of the circle to Emory Lillard, who fired a shot into the cage.

Fauquier controlled play for the majority of the second quarter, but coach Brooke Settle thought her squad should have led by more than 2-1 at halftime.

“I thought there were some missed opportunities,” she said. “We were doing beautifully coming down the side and crossing [a pass] into the

circle, but then we started to look for another pass when we should have been taking that shot.

“A couple of the girls missed four or five [available] shots and some goals if they would have shot instead of passing,” Settle said, noting the team had been working on redirecting passes into the cage, but she thought her players needed to keep their heads up to see easier opportunities.

Settle longed for a return of timeouts in the sport. Formerly, high school field hockey featured two 30-minute halves and a 10-minute halftime. A team could call two 90-second timeouts per game, allowing coaches to make corrections with the entire team.

Now, the sport has four 15-minute quarters with three minutes between the first and second and third and fourth periods. The change also brought an end to timeouts.

“Sometimes you need a timeout to point out something that is happening. When you get dry spells,

“An error happens, and you get out of sorts. Without timeouts, it makes it harder to correct on the fly.”

Down 2-1, Kettle Run used halftime to make adjustments. The squad responded 1:20 into the third period to conclude a lengthy skirmish in the goal mouth. Junior Charlotte Bloom was able to push the ball out of the scrum for a 2-2 tie.

“Keep the pressure on, and remember communication is key,” coach Kuhlberg said of the halftime discussion.

With 2:38 left in the quarter, the Falcons forced a penalty corner with the insertion rolling out to the 25-yard line where Timberlake re-

covered it. She fed Marissa Camarca penetrating down the right hash mark. Camarca centered to Maldonado, who tallied the winning goal.

“I thought the girls did a good job. It was an exciting match,” Settle said.

Kettle Run’s Katie Bloom notched 12 saves, with Carleigh Wood and Kaitlyn Nakamura recording assists for the 2-2 Cougars. Erin Irvin had three saves for the winners.

Fauquier took the junior varsity fray, 4-1, behind three goals by Kiersten Settle and one from McKenna Locke. Locke also had two assists.

Lexi Smith scored the Kettle Run goal.

Falcons record first district win by blanking Eagles

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier and host Liberty both were searching for their initial Northwestern District win when they met last Thursday.

Both were coming off shutout losses two days earlier in their league openers. Liberty lost a 3-0 decision at Sherando, while Millbrook scored a 25-18, 25-17, 25-22 road win over the Falcons in an early-season battle of district contenders.

Both Liberty and Fauquier were missing a starter to affect lineups, but Fauquier took the intra-county encounter, 25-21, 25-17, 25-23, while making significant changes on the fly.

Liberty used a strong service game to build a 9-7 first-set margin before the Falcons ran off four service points for an 11-9 lead, aided by two Emma Edwards kills. The visitors never relinquished the lead thereafter.

A four-point by Skyler Furr increased the bulge to 24-19. Liberty’s Taylo Gorham scored twice before a net serve accounted for set point.

Fauquier coach Jen Linthicum later said she used the intermission between sets to alter the Falcon approach.

“With Caroline [Towle] out, we needed to try something different to start, so we started with a 5-1,” Linthicum explained, opting to use a 6-2 alignment for the next two sets. “Allowing us to get something new going on on the right side and bringing in some new defense/serve receive players.”

The switch also created a different service lineup to “get Liberty moving differently.”

Fauquier led 11-8 in the second set before Skyler Furr broke it open with seven straight points for a 18-8 gap.

Liberty did not die, however, as Gorham later notched four points to narrow the set from 20-11 to 20-15, drawing praise from coach Carrie Marek.

“In all three sets, both teams were only a point or two in the lead,” said Marek. “There was a point in the second game when they had a serve run on us, but my girls kept fighting and stayed in the game.

“I have seen other teams lose the mental side of the game right there,” Marek said. “Not these girls. I am so proud of them already and we are still early in the season.”

Fauquier’s biggest scare came in the third set when Liberty went ahead 19-16 on a Christina Sloan service and led 23-22 after two Gorham points.

The Falcons forced a side out for a 23-23. Mikayla Gilmore then served out the match on kills by Meredith Scott and Katie Hardy.

Despite the loss, Marek sees positives as well as areas needing work.

“The serve power we have this year will keep us in the game,” she said, hoping for more consistency.

“Our main focus is on our reaction times on defense and offense. We transition beautifully but the “twitch reactions” and adjustments can be pushed further.”

“Liberty played well,” Linthicum said. “There is always a lot that rides on rivalry games, but I am very happy with how we played and the outcome.”

Fauquier’s Scott and Paccassi stand out at massive Oatlands meet

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Fauquier Times

Saturday’s 2021 Oatlands Invitational cross country meet featured many of the leading harriers from the Mid-Atlantic area and beyond.

Led by a pair of Fauquier Falcons, several county runners registered high tier performances against hundreds of runners in the varsity A races.

Sophomore Cassidy Scott ran to the eighth slot in a field of 301 runners with her time of 19 minutes, 11 seconds for the 5,000-meter course. Fellow Falcon Peter Paccassi also had a strong day by placing 24th out of 361 entries in the top boys race with a time of 17:07.

Juliette Whitacre of Mount De Sales Academy (Catonsville, Md.) won the girls race at 17:58, while the boys individual title went to McLean’s Xavier Jemison in 16:01.

Both Kettle Run teams also ran in the A level races. The Cougars’ top performances came from Kendall Schlueter (72nd, 21:36) and Noah Lenkey (191st, 19:11).

Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said the meet was positive on several fronts. “Besides getting after it and competing, the kids bonded a lot on a tough course,” Jones said.

Jones noted some quality lessons were taught.

“A couple of kids got out a little too slow. That was a learning experience because they had to make up a lot of ground to make up,” Jones said. “Then some others came out on top. Even some of our younger kids got out well, and they stayed up there.”

When asked if his teams are on track, Jones responded, “We are doing well. Are we a complete team yet? No. “We’ve got to stay healthy and get a lot of train-

Tuscarora edged Battlefield, 204-208, for the girls title among 41 schools with Urbana (Md.) third at 236. Fauquier’s girls were 17th (476 points) and Kettle Run 33rd (775).

The boys title went to Loudoun Valley (110) ahead of James Wood (151) and Churchill (Md.) (226) in the 54-team field. Fauquier finished 32nd (807) and Kettle Run 51st (1309).

‘THAT WAS ME CONGRATULATING THE KIDS’ Huge second half propels Kettle Run over Brentsville, 35-14

Kettle Run quarterback Beau Lang threw three touchdown passes and ran for one in his return to his former school.

“Beau did a good job spreading it around,” said coach Charlie Porterfield.

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Given a choice, all football coaches would say they’d rather be a good second half football team, even if that comes with throwing in a lousy first half sometimes.

Kettle Run won that way last Friday night.

The Cougars’ offense was as messy as a child’s scribble in the first half, bungling numerous plays before turning in an almost transcendent second half in beating Brentsville 35-14.

“Some teams are first half teams.

Some are no half teams. Some are both half teams. We want to start to get that to a whole game,” said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield.

Down 14-7 at halftime to the host Tigers (2-1) on their opening night, the Cougars (2-1) overcame their two horrible first half turnovers and a monumental defensive lapse with a glorious 28-0 second half performance to turn a close game into a comfortable win.

was at the forefront of his team’s highs and lows, with two painful turnovers as he returned to play at the school he transferred from. Lang had the attention of the crowd. One student displayed a sign that said “Beau Lang Sleeps With a Night Light.”

“It was a big game for him being back at Brentsville. It was nice to be able to shrug off two big mistakes.

He showed a ton of leadership and poise and maturity,” said Porterfield.

Lang completed 8-of-18 for 145 yards and three touchdowns, and ran 36 yards for a TD. The game began with both teams hammering away at each other with hard defense and trading early turnovers. Abram Chumley recovered a fumble for Kettle Run to end Brents-

ville’s first series and create great field position on the Tigers’ 35.

But on third down Lang’s pass in the left flat was picked off by William Johnson and returned almost 70 yards to the Kettle Run 10.

“We’re still working out some timing things,” Porterfield said about that passing mistake.

Consecutive runs by Bryce Johnson pushed the ball back to the 9, before Alexander reached the 1-yard line on an 8-yard run. On fourth down, the Tigers scored on Jackson’s 1-yard run to make it 6-0 with 7:08 after the kick was blocked.

Kettle Run responded with a fiveplay 52-yard drive to take a 7-6 lead on Lang’s 28-yard pass to Andrew Strickland. The play was set up as a tailback

Fauquier fell to Culpeper 27-7 and Liberty lost to Mountain View 36-13 last week. Both fell to 0-2. screen and Strickland found a seam in the left flat and rolled in untouched.

Early in the second quarter, the Cougars reached Brentsville’s 1 thanks to a 35-yard pass from Lang to Jacob Robinson. Lang almost scored on a first down run, then fumbled on second down, with Brentsville taking over at the 5.

After a Kettle Run drive failed before halftime, Brentsville took over on its own 29 with 52 seconds left and promptly burned the Cougars with a 71-yard TD pass from Alexander to Jackson Schnetzler on a short crossing route. Jackson’s two-point conversion run gave the Tigers a 14-7 halftime lead.

Cougars ‘find a way to win a game’ FOOTBALL, from page 26

3 Million pets protected since 1973 At Invisible Fence Brand, we’ve pioneered and modernized the pet containment industry by helping over 3 million families live better with their pets.

We work to provide you with a customized outdoor solution and training designed specifically for your home and your pet’s needs. The result? Complete confidence in your pet’s security.

“We misaligned one step in the wrong direction on their long TD and their kid was past. But after that they were not able to produce at all.

Our defense knows they will wear you out,” said Porterfield.

The second half was all about redemption, as the Cougars took control and snatched a winnable game from the talented Tigers.

After a 49-yard TD pass from Lang to Jordan Tapscott was nullified by a penalty, the Cougars eventually punted. With the Kettle Run defense stepping up, the Cougars got the ball back and scored quickly as Lang hit Peyton Mehaffey out of the backfield for an 11-yard TD pass, with Ella Slevin’s kick tying it at 1414 with 5:18 left in the third.

In the blink of an eye the Cougars stormed ahead as Brentsville quarterback Alexander fumbled in the open field on the first play of the ensuing drive off a hit by Sam Rodgers, with the ball scooped up

by Mehaffey, who raced 27 yards for the go-ahead score. Slevin’s kick put the Cougars up 21-14 with 5:01 left in the third.

Kettle Run quickly forced another Brentsville three-and-out and made it 28-14 as Lang ran 35 yards for a TD around the left side.

Rodgers intercepted a pass on Brentsville’s next possession. Although the ensuing drive ended with a Cougar fumble, Kettle Run scored on its first possession of the fourth quarter as Lang used excellent protection to hold the ball in the pocket and eventually find a wide-open Tapscott cutting across the front of the end zone for a 27-yard TD to make it 35-14.

The game ended without a traditional handshake between teams, which Porterfield said was school policy this year due to COVID. But the team sure enjoyed some fellowship of their own with a postgame roar.

“That was me congratulating the kids on how to respond,” said Porterfield. “In my mind that was a makeor-break moment in the season. Depending on how the game shook out, it determines how the rest of the season could go. Our challenge was find a way to win that game.”

Offensively, Lang ran 13 times for 73 yards, Strickland gained 47 yards on seven carries and Mehaffey had 38 yards on 12 carries. Tapscott ran once for 22 yards on an end around and Logan Branham added 19 yards on six carries.

Jacob Robinson caught three passes for 63 yards; Tapscott caught two for 33 yards.

Scott posted a team-high 11 kills to go with Edwards’ seven. Edwards (eight points), Gilmore (seven) and Scott (five) were the other top servers.

For Liberty, Kendall Turner had a match-high 15 kills to six for Jayna Tumlin. Emalea Novlea came up with eight blocks, while Sloan collected 11 digs and Grace Aburto six.

Against Millbrook, Linthicum said many of her girls were not feeling well or still feeling the effects of Homecoming week in the meeting, but she saw increased energy in the third set.

“They definitely rallied in the last set,” she observed. “It’s always hard to come back after a weekend like FIELD HOCKEY, from page 24

Fauquier kept its offense cranking the next night against visiting Dominion. The hosts overcame a sluggish start to post a 6-0 mercy rule decision to run its record to 3-2.

The teams were scoreless for almost 12 minutes before Maldonado converted a Camarca feed inside the left post at the 3:45 mark. The count rose to 2-0 when Kolar scored out of a flurry in front with 1:55 to go in the period..

The hosts struck three times in the second quarter on tallies by Timber-

“For all that was working against them, they still played well. They just weren’t the team that came out the few matches before.

“The Millbrook game took a little wind out of our sails, but they know they are good enough to win the conference and continue with winning the big games,” Linthicum said of the long-range goals.

Towle led with 10 points and nine kills. Lawhorn, Scott and Furr all had eight points. Emma Zewatsky added four blocks.

Kettle Run splits pair

The Cougars had visiting James Wood on the ropes after three sets Sept. 7 after a 25-19, 23-25, 2624 start. The Colonels rallied with a strong fourth set, 25-12, before squeezing past the hosts, 15-13, in the decisive fifth.

Kettle Run recovered with a 3-0 win last Thursday at Brentsville. lake, Maldanado and Marjorie Davenport. Maldonado handed out two assists and Camarca one. Brooklyn Maldanado scored the sixth Falcon goal. Irvin had five stops in the shutout.

Fauquier had a quick rematch with Dominion, traveling to the Titans Tuesday. Kettle Run heads to Liberty 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, while the Falcons play at Foxcroft 4:45.

Liberty (1-3) dropped its rematch against Orange 1-0 on Sept. 7. The Eagles had taken a win in a shootout the previous week in Orange. Liberty’s game at Meridian High School was postponed last Wednesday.

Warrenton council seeks ways to re-establish curbside glass recycling RECYCLING, from page 4 “At this point, it’s not acceptable,” said Councilman Sean Polster (At-large) of the cessation of the glass pickup program. He said that, in the future, public works programs should not be altered without a vote from the town council. “It just seems like it wasn’t working on the county end … and somehow this decision was made on a lower level.”

“I am fully supportive of us finding a way to collect glass,” said Polster. He said, however, that it doesn’t necessarily need to be a curbside-pickup program, pointing to a new Alexandria glass recycling program that utilizes drop-off points around the city.

Councilman James Hartman (Ward 4) pressed

Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer about the decision-making process that led to ending the glass pickup program; Schaeffer said that she would provide the council with documentation of that process.

“The policy directive [in 2020], as staff understood it, was to look for efficiencies and best management practices,” said Schaeffer, and the cessation of the glass curbside program was a part of that effort. “We were working to get into compliance with [the memorandum of understanding with the county landfill] and also working to make it safer and more efficient for them.”

Schaeffer suggested that the council form a committee to coordinate business between the town public works department and the county

landfill. That could avoid future misunderstandings between town staff and the council, she said.

Mayor Carter Nevill praised the Fauquier County government for finding markets for the county’s recyclables at a time when many localities across the country had ended their recycling programs altogether after China’s 2018 decision. “While other communities were just giving up on it, the county went out and found a [solution],” said Nevill.

The public works department’s decision to stop picking up glass recyclables at curbsides was well-intentioned, he said. “There was no intent to cause harm or a problem for us. I think it’s a matter of adapting to a changing landscape.”

OBITUARIES Jane Ann Kleb Benecke

Yvonne Elaine McFarlane

Jane Ann Kleb Benecke 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.

Services will be held at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 271 Winchester Street, Warrenton, VA on September 18, 2021 at 11 a.m.

In lieu of flowers donations in Jane’s memory may be made to Heartland Hospice of Warrenton, VA: 493 Blackwell Road, #319, Warrenton, VA 20186-2639. warrenton@heartlandhospice.com, 703-273-8693

Yvonne Elaine McFarlane, 62, of Catlett died September 11, 2021 at Culpeper Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Yvonne was born March 10, 1959 in Warrenton to the late William S. Heddings and Frances Wampler Heddings.

She attended Nursing College in Richmond, VA. She worked as a Registered Nurse at Fauquier Hospital for 20 years, then became a stay-at-home mother.

She enjoyed watching HallMark movies and counted cross-stitch and spending time with family.

She is survived by her beloved husband Steven McFarlane (married April 6, 1985); daughters, Eryn McFarlane and Katelyn Shaw; son, Lukas McFarlane; one grandchild, Cyrus Shaw; mother-in-law Margie McFarlane; and four brothers, Royce Heddings, Garland Heddings and his wife Elaine Heddings, Berle Heddings and his wife Marianela Heddings, Charles Heddings and his wife Barbara Heddings. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by siblings Jerry Heddings and WinnaJean Miller.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Jeanette is survived by her devoted husband of 55 years, James (Jim) Cahill; adoring children Jason Cahill (Lee Ann), and Lesley Montgomery (Curtis); loving grandchildren Jimmy, Elliott, Abigail and Madeline; nieces and nephew; and other special family and friends. Jeanette was preceded in death by her parents, Louis Jehl and Anna McLaughlin Jehl; her brother Raymond Jehl; and her sister Lenore Finnerty.

Jeanette was born in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, on October 6, 1942. Her family eventually relocated to Garrison, New York, where she completed her K-8 education in a one-room schoolhouse just across the Hudson River from West Point Military Academy. Jeanette and her family moved again to Rockaway, New Jersey, where she met Jim and graduated from Morris Hills Regional High School in 1959. During high school, Jeanette became fluent in French and earned an opportunity to apply for a translator’s position at the United Nations in New York City. She decided to stay close to home instead, and enrolled at Berkley Secretarial School in East Orange, New Jersey. After graduating, Jeanette was employed by Jersey Central Power & Light for approximately five years before marrying Jim in November, 1965. Together, they followed Jim’s employment to Owego, New York, where both Jason and Lesley were born. Prior to the arrival of Jason, Jeanette worked for a number of years as an executive secretary at IBM. Jeanette and Jim eventually moved their family to Manassas, Virginia, where they remained for over 40 years. When her children were young, Jeanette stayed busy volunteering in their classrooms, shuttling them from activity to activity, and cheering them on from the sidelines.

She spent countless hours sewing clothes and Halloween costumes, and always got a good laugh out of her ability to “hide” her children’s birthday and Christmas lists in plain sight by using the shorthand writing she had learned while in secretarial school. As her children grew, Jeanette returned to work, taking a position with Prince William County Public Schools. Her years with the County were all spent at Nokesville Elementary, where she served in the roles of Library Secretary, Bookkeeper, and Office Secretary, and developed many special friendships. Jeanette retired in 2005, to spend more time with her grandchildren, whom she loved and adored beyond measure. Jeanette always made sure that holidays were filled with family, decorations fit for a magazine spread, and plate after plate of delicious cookies. Her devotion to her family was immense, and even as Jeanette’s illness progressed in later years, her smile never stopped lighting up the room.

A private service will be held on September 10, 2021, with interment at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by Bliley’s www.blileys. com. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association at act.alz.org or 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL 60601.

Cynthia Ann Usher Cynthia Ann Usher, 66, of Warrenton passed away on Friday, September 3, 2021.

She was born in Pittsburgh, PA on November 17, 1954 to Frank J. Iskra and Margaret C. Uphoff (nee Hunt).

Cindy graduated from Shaler High School (Shaler, PA) in 1972. She married Jeffrey J. Usher on November 24, 1984. During her marriage Cindy enthusiastically relocated to support her husband on many occasions – having resided in Elkhart, IN; Dearborn, MI; Pittsburgh, PA; Philadelphia, PA; Atlanta, GA; and finally, Washington, DC. She was employed as an executive assistant for the last eight years by MetLife at the time of her passing. Prior to that, Cindy was employed by State Farm Insurance Companies for 26 years.

Cindy is survived by her husband, Jeffrey; her daughter, Amy Elizabeth Usher; her son, Anthony “Tony” J. Usher (Elizabeth); her siblings, Gary Iskra (Debbie), Kathleen Skrbin (Jeff), Eric Uphoff (Tina), Ruth Adams, and Melissa McKaveny; and many nieces and nephews.

Cindy passed away peacefully on Friday September 3, 2021 as a result of a sudden and unexpected illness. Cindy was a loving wife and mother who dedicated her heart and soul to the wellbeing and success of her children, Amy and Tony. There was no sacrifice too large when it came to raising her children giving them her absolute and unconditional love.

In her work life she was admired by all she interacted with and would willingly assist wherever needed.

Cindy subscribed to the belief that she should always leave things better than she found them – a process she was extremely successful with. She was unwavering in always putting the comfort and wellbeing of her family and all of God’s creatures before her own. She found particular joy in her Golden retrievers - George, Kramer, and Newman as well as her “grand doggies” Zazu and Jack. Our world is a better place because of Cindy.

Places of Worship Grace Episcopal Church FUNERAL FLOWERS Funerals can be a difficult time for everyone. Whether you’re arranging or attending, funerals are a sad and sometimes stressful occasion. A thoughtful and caring gesture, condolence flowers are a visual representation of love, sympathy, and respect. Many different types are commonly sent for funerals and memorial services, with lilies, chrysanthemums, and carnations being the most popular.

If the deceased had a favorite flower or color, arranging a bouquet around those preferences is appropriate. Types of funeral flowers can include casket arrangements, funeral wreaths, tied sheaves, floral baskets, and standing arrangements called funeral sprays. If there is any doubt about where to send the funeral flowers, it is best to call the funeral home and speak with the funeral director.

In most cases, funeral flowers are selected by family members or close family friends. Those who were especially close to the deceased are often responsible for selecting these types of flowers because they understand the deceased’s taste and what types of flowers they would want to have included. To learn about our services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431, or tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
