Emerging solutions: What it takes to build affordable housing Experts, incentives, philanthropists ... and goodwill By Tim Carrington For Foothills Forum
Affordable housing can be built. It requires real estate lawyers, tax specialists, sociologists, investors, architects, funders and philanthropists. There is often an underpinning of subsidies, policies and targeted incentives involving local, state and federal government. Affordable housing also requires markets and market players like architects, builders, management companies, landlords and real estate agents. Finally, affordable housing requires neighbors who are open to neighbors of different income levels. Social entrepreneurs like Molly Brooks of Hero’s Bridge in Warrenton and philanthropists like Chuck Akre, father of Rush River Commons in the Town of Washing-

ton, brave the multiple obstacles to harvest solutions that are small but transformative for the families they benefit. The proposed Warrenton Village Center would build 386 new rental units along Broadview Avenue but by making 10% of them affordable would win flexibility on zoning permissions involving density. The various solutions to the affordable housing conundrum start with one premise: Markets alone aren’t solving the problem. Something extra is needed, whether it builds on government incentives or complex public-private collaboration. A comparison of median incomes and median home prices highlights the problem. Virginia Realtors, which represents 38,000 real estate agents in the state, studied households in the age bracket of 25 to 44. The median income was found to be $99,182, while the median home price of $382,725 requires a household income of $128,400. See HOUSING, page 4
When will broadband arrive in Fauquier County? It’s anyone’s guess. By Hunter Savery Staff Writer
Fewer than 14 months remain on All Points Broadband’s contract to deliver high-speed broadband to rural communities in Virginia, but not a single mile of cable has been laid in Fauquier County. With 60% of the contract period elapsed, All Points has not completed any of its milestones or project phases, according to the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative dashboard. An official delay has not been announced for Fauquier County, but one appears likely, meaning
about 10,000 homes and businesses will still have no access to high-speed fiber-optic internet and phone service. “We know that timeline is going to be extended,” Tom Innes, vice president of business development for All Points Broadband, told the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors last week. The internet provider initially aimed to be serving customers in Fauquier County by the summer of 2025, but delays across the state with getting electrical poles ready for service slowed the project’s progress, according to Innes. See BROADBAND, page 5 MAP COURTESY OF ALL POINTS BROADBAND
All Points Broadband planned to lay 660 miles of cable, depicted by the yellow lines, to connect approximately 10,000 residences and businesses, represented by dots, with high-speed internet.

World’s largest foxhound competition is Saturday in Leesburg Three Fauquier County kennel packs will compete By Betsy Burke Parker Contributing Writer
In what’s billed as the world’s largest foxhound show, the 76th annual Virginia Foxhound Club will have five rings run all day on Sunday, May 26 in Leesburg. Hounds from all three Fauquier-kenneled packs — Warrenton Hunt, Old Dominion Hounds and Orange County Hounds — are expected to compete along with some 500 other hounds from clubs as far away as Florida, Texas and Canada. Classes begin at 9 a.m. under the mature oaks in front of the historic Morven Park mansion, with rings divided into American, Crossbred under 25 couple and over 25 couple, English and Pennmarydel. Competition ends with the popular pack class held on the lawn in front of the mansion, with grand champion judging taking place around 4 p.m. The junior handler classes — one for kids 10 and under, the other for ages 11 to 16 — are held during the lunch break. “This is one of our favorite annual events,” said Hillsboro Hounds joint-master Orrin Ingram of his Tennessee club returning to defend its grand champion title. “All our members want to attend, and our huntsman and staff plan for this all year. We love coming to Virginia. The competition
is tops, and so is the hospitality.” William duPont Jr. is credited with planning the first Virginia hound show in 1934 at Montpelier, former home of President James Madison. The show was halted during World War II. It was held in Upperville, Middleburg and near Marshall until finding its long-running home in Leesburg in 1970. Competition has always been fierce, with prizes in all the divisions considered coveted confirmation of a club’s breeding and handling program, according to show chair and club president Robert Ferrer. “While history is important, the future is more important,” said Ferrer, also joint-master of the Caroline Hunt. “The Virginia Foxhound Show is the venue to bring foxhunters together. Hound shows are not solely about hounds but about people, and the chance for hunters to gather and share camaraderie and fellowship.” There is a hound seminar on Saturday, May 25, with an art exhibit and sale at the Museum of Hounds and Hunting Saturday afternoon. The national hunting horn blowing contest is Saturday night, kickoff event of the Virginia Foxhound Club dinner. Admission to Sunday’s show is free. The show prize list and schedule are online at virginiafoxhoundclub.org. Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

Nursing injured animals is a labor of love at Foxtales Couple runs Fauquier County’s only wildlife rehabilitation center from their basement By Aimee O’Grady Contributing Writer
This is the busy season for animal rescue, and the noise at Foxtales, Fauquier County’s only animal rehabilitation facility, can get pretty loud. “Foxes are very vocal and bark, play and scream a lot,” said Elizabeth Negron, who runs the nonprofit rehabilitation center out of her home in Midland with her husband, Eduardo. “Their playful scream is a high-pitched laugh. But the raccoons are the noisiest. They scream and throw temper tantrums. When they aren’t fed on schedule, they freak out.” Elizabeth wears earplugs to help her sleep. But caring for injured, sick or abandoned animals is a passion. Elizabeth was a volunteer for nearly two decades in other counties before buying a five-acre home in Midland and dedicating a basement apartment to housing wildlife in need of care. They secured the necessary permit, got vaccinated for rabies and opened last year in January. “Ever since I was young,

County. Foxtails is a nonprofit and accepts donations to help support its work. What isn’t covered from donations, the Negrons pay for with extra work shifts. “I worked a lot of extra shifts at the hospital to cover the costs of the cages,” Eliz-
abeth Negron said. Donations help cover about 40% to 50% of the cost of operating the center. “Otherwise, it is out of pocket,” she said. Most of the animals who are brought into Foxtales were hit by cars. Big
storms are another reason animals are found injured or abandoned. “After a really bad storm, den animals were washed out and wandering,” Negron said. “Other times, orphans are brought to us after rainstorms. The mother tries to move the young from the den, but since she has many babies and can’t count, sometimes one gets left behind.” The type of storm often dictates the different types of animals in need. After windstorms, squirrels are brought in after being blown from their nests, Negron said. “We try to reunite them whenever we can,” she said. “Mothers are always the best chance at survival for any animal.” At this time of year, they see a lot of fox, raccoon and skunk kits, possum joeys, squirrel and cottontail kits, groundhog pups and even the elusive flying squirrel nestlings. There are two species of flying squirrel in Virginia — Northern and Southern Flying Squirrel. See FOXTALES, page 5

Emerging solutions: What it takes to build affordable housing HOUSING, from page 1 Real estate agent Alan Zuschlag of Washington Fine Properties sees “a perfect storm of economic phenomena” undercutting any sweeping solutions to the affordable housing dilemma. Construction costs have surged due to higher prices for nearly all building materials and higher labor costs, factors that have led the Fed to fight inflation with higher interest rates, which push up mortgages, further raising the costs of buying a home. Add in more natural disasters, which drive up insurance costs, and the strain of finding a home within budget only worsens. “Eventually, we’ll build more to meet more demand from more people,” Zuschlag said.
Windy Hill
The Department of Housing and Urban Development defines affordable housing as costing no more than 30% of gross income for housing, including utilities. That that more or less tracks the guidance that postwar parents told their adult children when they set out to find their first homes. When Virginians like Akre begin exploring housing solutions, they often study the Windy Hill Foundation, operating in Loudoun and Fauquier counties for four decades. Windy Hill began when a sense of shame rose up in a place of privilege. Affluent Middleburg harbored an underside: A small area of ramshackle homes where mostly African American retired farmworkers and low-income families scraped by, amidst outhouses, collapsing roofs and corpses of old cars. Irene “Rene” Llewellyn, an English-born Middleburg resident, raised the first $100,000 for an upgrade from her bridge club. Other residents jumped in. Soon, water and sewer lines were dug, and the dilapidated homes were replaced with safe, well-designed structures residents could afford. In 1986, the Windy Hill project, and others like it, got a boost from the U.S. Congress in the form of the federal low-income housing tax credit. The mechanism became the predominant federal program for advancing affordable housing, resulting in more than 3.5 million housing units since Congress acted. Windy Hill showed $11.4 million in assets in 2022, including $5.9 million in federal low-income tax credits. Windy Hill now manages more than 300 units spread across housing developments in Middleburg, The Plains and Marshall.
Scaled-up enterprises
G. Kimball Hart, who steered Windy Hill’s expansion, is now the general partner of Good Works LP, a for-profit affordable housing developer. While residents of Good Works buildings need lower rents than are currently affordable on the market, Hart said, “Everybody who lives in my projects works and pays rent.” Pointing to one Good Works development, Heronview in Sterling, Virginia, he reported there are 104 jobs supporting the residents of 96 rental units. Hart also pointed out that Loudoun County has an advantage that Rappahannock, Culpeper and Warrenton lack — The Loudoun County Housing Trust Fund. Created in 1997 to promote and fund affordable housing, the trust takes in a small slice of residents’ property tax payments. In the current fiscal year, the fund has $37.3 million in available funds for affordable housing projects, including some that Good Works manages. “There’s nothing like this in the other counties,” Hart said. “That’s the problem.” Of course, Loudoun County is massively more populous than its neighboring counties.

Small-scale community support
The affordable housing challenge involves multiple approaches, and community-based small-scale support is clearly part of the mix. In Warrenton, Hero’s Bridge negotiates living arrangements for individual veterans threatened with homelessness. Nearby in Bealeton, Community Touch intervenes with landlords to hammer out plans for staving off eviction of delinquent renters. In some cases, financially strapped renters are assembled in group homes and coached on getting along in shared kitchens and living rooms. In Rappahannock, longtime resident Hal Hunter matches elderly property owners who have outbuildings or extra space with younger renters who have small incomes and can’t find any space. Jay Heroux, formerly a member of the Warrenton Town Council, gets involved in pushing for housing for low-income neighbors. “There are all sorts of things that people can do, but the foundation is that citizens of our communities have to ask themselves, ‘How do we want to treat each other?’” Following is a snapshot of an affordable housing project in Fauquier County facing its own complex challenges. For additional projects, each with a different structure and approach, visit the Fauquier Times online.
Hero’s Bridge Village: Solution or division?
In Warrenton, a senior housing proposal illustrates both the potential for creative housing solutions and the local discord it might ignite. Hero’s Bridge Village is a proposed 44-unit affordable housing community for senior veterans. The housing plan arises from a nonprofit organization serving a specific audience — elderly veterans. The project requires zoning changes, and some neighbors are uneasy. “My hope is that it can be a place of peace and healing and an example to the county that thoughtful, meaningful housing can be done within a small footprint,” said Molly Brooks, founder and chief executive officer of Hero’s Bridge. The village — a collaboration between Hero’s Bridge and the Warrenton United Methodist

Church — is planned for a 5.2 acre U-shaped lot in a neighborhood of single-family detached homes. Hero’s Bridge would offer the senior veterans services now difficult to deliver to older veterans who are dispersed and lacking transportation. “I never expected that housing would be the number two issue we would get calls about,” Brooks said. But since the 1980s, more veterans have found themselves at risk of homelessness, and the current housing squeeze makes it worse. “An entire generation of veterans is aging; it’s a difficult economy, and these are among the first people we should be welcoming and helping out,” said Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill, a supporter of the project. But the plan has proved divisive. In October, long before any public hearings were held, shouting broke out at a Warrenton Town Council meeting between residents opposed to the village and council member Daivd McGuire, himself a veteran. Some neighbors warned about traffic, density, property values and mental health problems veterans might have. At a Town Council meeting, Daryle Hawkins, a neighbor to the proposed village, demanded that planners “find somewhere else.” While 84 opponents of the project have petitioned the Town Council to reject the necessary rezoning, a counter-petition from supporters garnered more than 500 signatures. Brooks hopes the Warrenton Planning Commission will vote to approve the rezoning in June and the Town Council in July. Hero’s Bridge then would turn to funding the idea. It has raised $1.7 million, including a $1 million grant within the federal spending package passed earlier this year. Brooks estimated Hero’s Bridge needs another $12 million. Journalists Ireland Hayes and Hunter Savery contributed to this report.
This is the third and final in a three-part series about how the nationwide housing shortage impacts Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, funded in part by the PATH Foundation. The project is a collaboration by journalists from the nonprofit Foothills Forum and the Piedmont Journalism Foundation, as well as the Culpeper Star-Exponent and the Rappahannock News.

When will broadband arrive in Fauquier County? It’s anyone’s guess. BROADBAND, from page 1 Fauquier County is part of the Northern Shenandoah Valley portion of the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative, which has lined up nearly $97 million in state grants and more than $206 million in local and private matching funds. Fauquier County allocated $10.5 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to the project, or about 80% of the ARPA pandemic relief funds the county received. In April, the Loudoun County portion of the project was delayed a full year and a half because Dominion Energy, a partner on the project, has struggled to get poles ready for fiber optic on schedule. At last week’s work session, supervisors relayed the frustration they have heard from Fauquier County residents, especially about the vague timeline provided by All Points. “I know it’s a frustrating answer to not know exactly how long it takes to make a pole ready for our attachment, but we’re working as best we can with the electric partners,” Innes said. “So, it’s not a frustrating answer; it just isn’t an answer,” shot back County Supervisor Ike Broaddus.

Nursing injured animals is a labor of love at Foxtales FOXTALES, from page 3 “People don’t realize we have flying squirrels here because they are nocturnal and stay high in the trees, but we have them,” Negron said. In an area known for foxes, Foxtales sees plenty of them in the spring. Right now, 25 young foxes are being rehabilitated. They require careful management to give them the best chance to return successfully to the wild. That means limiting exposure to people. “I only see the foxes for feeding and cleaning,” Negron said. “It’s very important that they do not become attached to me. We want all our releases to have a healthy fear of humans,” she said. All the foxes are vaccinated for distemper and parvo. At 12 weeks old, they go to an outdoor pen for the remainder of their time at the facility. A challenge for rehabilitation centers is the need to educate well-meaning animal rescuers
so they understand that some animals that appear in distress are not. Consider baby bunnies. They may appear to have been left abandoned by their mothers, but they probably haven’t been. “People need to understand local wildlife behavior,” Negron said. “Bunnies have no scent, which protects them from predators. The mother will only visit babies twice daily, so her scent doesn’t attract predators. When people see a bunny den, they think the babies have been abandoned when, really, mom has left them perfectly safe for the day.” Also, sometimes legal requirements can restrain care. “It is illegal to rehabilitate adult deer in Virginia but it depends on the county for fawns,” Negron said. “In Fauquier County, it is also illegal to rehabilitate fawns. Young deer also have no scent, so mom leaves them in a safe place for the day. When people see them, they worry that they have been abandoned. It’s important to just leave them alone.” Foxtales has a strong success rate for rehabilitation. Foxes and skunks have a very high success
available across Virginia, but there is a waitlist for parts of Fauquier County near Warrenton. Full coverage is expected later this year, though, according to Starlink’s website. The service is now available in Marshall, Bealeton, Remington, Delaplane and other areas of the county. Another satellite provider may soon be on the way, as well. On April 11, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors approved an agreement with telecom company VB Edge LLC to allow satellite dishes to be installed on land behind C.M. Crockett Park in Midland. The project, which has been approved to enter an 18-month feasibility study, would serve as an “uplink and downlink facility” for a future competitor to Starlink, according to Gerhardt. “In my opinion, it’s going to be another solution, which is going to drive down the cost of broadband,” Gerhardt said. “It will compete against fiber; it will compete against Starlink; it will compete against anything else that’s wireless in the county currently.” Reach Hunter Savery at hsavery@fauquier.com.

rate. Raccoons are lower because of the number of diseases they can have. Bunnies are the least successful, as stress alone can diminish their health. The process for release can take time. Adults are released back to where they came from. But for the young, Foxtales will release them from their property. Over several days they wean them off provided food and allow them to come in and out of their enclosures. Eventually, the food they leave out will stop being eaten, a sign that the animal has transitioned back to living independently. Those moments make the money, time and effort worth it for the Negrons. “I am the happiest when I am caring for the wildlife, and it brings so much joy in my life to see them heal and grow,” she said. “I love to give them back their freedom.” For more information or to make a donation to Foxtales, go to foxtaleswildliferehab.org.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA FOR APPROVAL OF A RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE PURSUANT TO § 56.585.1 A 4 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2024-00071 On May 1, 2024, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion” or “Company”), pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 4 (“Subsection A 4”) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”), filed an application (“Application”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for approval of a revised increment/decrement rate adjustment clause designated as Rider T1. Pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 7 of the Code, “the Commission’s final order regarding any petition filed pursuant to [Subsection A 4] . . . shall be entered not more than three months . . . after the date of filing of such petition.” Subsection A 4 deems to be prudent, among other things, the “costs for transmission services provided to the utility by the regional transmission entity of which the utility is a member” and “costs charged to the utility that are associated with demand response programs approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [(“FERC”)] and administered by the regional transmission entity of which the utility is a member.” The Company has been a member of PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”), a regional transmission entity that has been approved by FERC as a regional transmission organization, since 2005. Dominion, as an integrated electric utility member of PJM, obtains transmission service from PJM and pays PJM charges for such service at the rates contained in PJM’s Open Access Transmission Tariff approved by FERC. The Company states that it also pays PJM charges for costs associated with demand response programs approved by FERC and administered by PJM. In this proceeding, Dominion seeks approval of a revenue requirement for the rate year September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2025 (“Rate Year”). This revenue requirement, if approved, would be recovered through a combination of base rates and a revised increment/decrement Rider T1. Rider T1 is designed to recover the increment/ decrement between the revenues produced from the Subsection A 4 component of base rates and the new revenue requirement developed from the Company’s Subsection A 4 costs for the Rate Year. The total proposed revenue requirement to be recovered over the Rate Year is $1,169,592,808, comprising an increment Rider T1 of $638,238,346, and forecast collections of $531,354,462 through the transmission component of base rates. This total revenue requirement represents an increase of $249,440,612, compared to the revenues projected to be produced during the Rate Year by the combination of the base rate component of Subsection A 4 (the Company’s former Rider T) and the Rider T1 rates currently in effect. Implementation of the proposed Rider T1 on September 1, 2024 would increase the total monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month by $3.81. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents and may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled public hearings on the Company’s Application. On June 17, 2024, at 10 a.m., a Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hold a telephonic hearing for the purpose of receiving the testimony of public witnesses.

Gratitude for supporting Give Local Piedmont On behalf of the staff and Board of Directors of the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, we want to applaud our local communities for once again making our Give Local Piedmont program a tremendous success. It is you, the citizens and businesses in our Culpeper, Madison, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties that step up and make the magic happen. The Give Local Piedmont program, facilitated by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, aims to highlight the hard work of our nonprofit organizations, attract new donors and encourage fun competition. It has succeeded! Congratulations to the GLP team: Liz Rose, Tanya Paull, Renard Carlos, Dede McClure and Sarah Wick for all the new incentives, the late nights planning and the fabulous camaraderie that occurs when we all put our heads together for the bigger, broader goal of helping each other. I heard from so many of the nonprofit organizations who were thrilled that our community stepped up to make this happen. We owe our sponsors a tremendous thank you for believing in the program and supporting it. Thank you
to the Nancy and Michael Baudhuin Fund and the Marshall Doeller Family Foundation for their amazing support. Thank you to the PATH Foundation for the spectacular bonus pool and the student giving program. Thank you also to Cedar Mountain Stone and Chemung Contracting, the Dalrymples, Atlantic Union Bank, the Red Oak Fund at NPCF, Raymond Boc Photography, Cheri Woodard Realty and Gulick Carson and Thorpe PC. The NPCF 2024 Give Local Piedmont raised a whopping $1,146,740 for our four communities, supporting 217 organizations with 6,586 donations. For those with the most unique donations, the Fauquier Free Clinic had 210 donors for a total of $40,743 raised; RappCats secured 199 donations ($35,263.); and the Mental Health Association of Fauquier County had 162 donors for $39,204. Thanks to each of you for your enthusiasm and the positive impact — whether $10 or $10,000 — you made on those who live, work and play in the Northern Piedmont region! JANE BOWLING-WILSON Executive Director, Northern Piedmont Community Foundation
Why I’m supporting Qarni for Congress Early voting for the June 18 primaries has begun, and voters in Fauquier and Prince William counties are voting in the 10th Congressional District, where a packed race has ensued with 12 Democrats and four Republicans. I am proud to endorse Atif Qarni, who is running for the Democratic nomination. Atif Qarni has a long record of public service. He served our country in the Marine Corps, where he was deployed to Iraq and served our nation honorably, demonstrating his patriotism. He then became a teacher for a Prince William County middle school and served as Virginia’s secretary of education from 2018 to 2021. It is important to elect a candidate with a clear and extensive record of public service to our community. The greatest threat to our democracy is the hijacking of our political system by corporate greed. We see some politicians using our money to fund tax cuts for the rich and support wars abroad instead of investing in American families and the working class. In the halls of Congress, we can hear whispers of gutting the extremely popular Social Security program grow louder. At the local level, we can see the approval of environmentally destructive developments such as data centers against the wishes of the
residents. Atif Qarni has taken a strong stance in support of campaign finance reforms and has signed the American Promise Pledge. He also supports many other policies to uplift the American working class, increase investments in public education and promote justice at home and abroad, such as: fighting for labor rights and passing the PRO Act; fighting against climate change and supporting regulations on developments such as data centers; investing in affordable housing and bringing high-paying jobs to our district; investing in childcare and starting a $5,000 baby bonds program; increasing teacher salaries and establishing a teacher minimum wage; defending and strengthening Social Security; ending funding for unjust wars abroad; supporting a ceasefire in Gaza and the right for both Jews and Palestinians to live in peace; protecting the First Amendment and ensuring the right to peacefully protest is protected on college campuses. To quote Martin Luther King Jr., “We need leaders not in love with money, but leaders in love with justice. Not in love with publicity, but in love with humanity.” RAEID A. EBRAHIM Warrenton

Jacob Mulhern and the Kettle Run Cougars are seeded third in the Class 3 Region B quarterfinals and host Culpeper Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Here’s a riddle. What if everything you’ve accomplished since the start of March has led you to me, but nothing you’ve accomplished since the start of March is enough to conquer me, what am I? It’s the spring sports playoffs, which opened this week with regional quarterfinal action Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Slotted between graduations at Fauquier, Liberty and Kettle Run, and perhaps some rain Thursday, local teams will be vying for the state tournaments in baseball, softball, boys soccer, girls soccer, girls lacrosse and boys lacrosse. Among the top seeds are Fauquier baseball (13-7), softball (13-6) and boys soccer (8-3-3), with all three earning No. 2 seeds in Class 3 Region B. Kettle Run is a No. 3 seed in baseball (12-8) and girls soccer (9-3-3). If a team can win back-toback games to reach the region final, they clinch a state berth. The lacrosse state tournaments begin on May 31, with the baseball, softball and soccer tournaments beginning June 4.

Falcons enter playoffs in bash mode Fauquier softball is region No. 2 seed, Kettle Run No. 4 By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer
Last Friday was Senior Night for the Fauquier High softball team, but it won’t be their last time playing at home this season. In beating visiting Liberty 8-1 on Friday, the Falcons (13-6) clinched the No. 2 seed in the Class 3 Region B tournament and host No. 7 Meridian (6-12) on Wednesday. Elsewhere, No. 4 Kettle Run (10-10) hosts No. 5 Maggie Walker (9-8) in the quarterfinals on Friday, while Liberty (6-8) did not make the Class 4 Region D tournament. Fauquier, which downed Skyline 9-3 in the regular season finale on Monday, has won four straight and 10 of their last 12. Everything has fallen in place for first year coach Craig Gilmore’s happy team. “They’ve got all phases of the game going on right now,” Gilmore said. “They’ve learned all the softball they’re going to learn at this

On a gloomy Wednesday afternoon in Bealeton, the Liberty High boys lacrosse team doggedly tried to hold off rival Kettle Run in the regular season finale for both teams. Liberty (8-5) bolted to leads of 2–0, 4–2 and 10–7 and seemed headed to a key win to boost their postseason seeding. But the Cougars (5-6), propelled by six goals from attackman Mason Hodges, never went away, staying close with key goals to force overtime, then scoring the sudden death game-winner in the tail end of the 58th minute. Attackman Cody Min was mobbed by his jubilant teammates after taking a pass from Hodges and scoring with 11 seconds left in OT to end a dramatic matchup. Kettle Run tallied the game’s final four goals to seize a statement win and move past the frustrated Eagles in the postseason seedings. Kettle Run is the defending Class 4 Region D champion and is showing its mettle late in the year. “I’m very proud,” said Kettle Run coach Bryan Logan. “Mason Hodges is an amazing scorer — and that was one of the most beautiful passes I’ve seen. That was a perfect pass. I’m so proud of him, then Cody sank it. I’m so proud of those two. Mason brought us back in the game and Cody sealed it. It was amazing.”
Liberty’s season ended Friday in the Class 4 Region B playoffs as North No. 5 seed Fauquier downed the No. 4 Eagles 13-4. Fauquier (7-9) then fell to North No. 1 Meridian 10-9 Monday in the region quarterfinals. That left North No. 3 seed Kettle Run as the lone Fauquier County boys team still alive for states. Kettle Run played at North No. 2 Brentsville (12-2) in a quarterfinal on Tuesday, May 21.

Hodges’ six goals gives him 26 this year as he challenges James Coffin of Brentsville for the Northwestern District lead. Coffin has 28. “Mason’s a great dodger,” Logan said. “Once he gets going. Once that
first goal goes in, he does not stop. It’s goal, goal, goal. That’s all we got to do. That’s a big thing for our offense, how do we get Mason going? Once we get it, it’s hard to stop.” See COUGARS, page 14

Despite loss to Kettle Run, FHS girls lacrosse had a great year By Matthew Proctor
CLASS 4 REGION B GIRLS LACROSSE TOURNAMENT
Staff Writer
At the beginning of the season, first year Fauquier High girls lacrosse coach Rai Pura said the Falcons needed to rebuild. It took about a month. In defeating Liberty 17-6 in the regular season finale on Thursday, the Falcons submitted their claim for the fastest rebuild ever as Fauquier won their last five games to enter the Class 4 Region B tournament as a No. 3 seed. Fauquier’s season ended Monday in a 12-7 loss to No. 2 Kettle Run (11-3) in the quarterfinals. The Falcons finished 7-8, but on a high note. After opening 1-6, Fauquier won six of their last seven games to climb from last to third, make the region playoffs and avoid the region tournament play-in game. Improved team chemistry and confidence keyed the Falcons’ turnaround. “It was the mentality and believing in what we were doing, in what I’m teaching them and just working together and being one cohesive unit, regardless of what the skills are,” coach Pura said. Senior midfielder Lana Barkovic said weekly team dinners provided important bonding time. “We’ve gotten closer. We talk a lot more, we chat a lot more, we have more fun just being with each other. It’s fun on the field,” Barkovic said. “We feel like a family. At the beginning, we weren’t together. Now, we come together and we talk to each other. We bond like we’re sisters,” senior defender Daniela Clark said. “We’ve come a long way, and seeing our progress and seeing how determined we were tonight and that we just kept going, it was amazing and honestly astonishing in my eyes.” Through the first seven games, Fauquier won just once and was outscored 92-50. Through their last eight games, Fauquier won six and outscored oppo-

Six Falcons found the back of the net against Liberty, with senior attack Ryleigh Polster scoring seven goals. Barkovic netted four, sophomore Lillian Pura and freshman Aubrey Cupka two and junior Maggie Arnold and freshman Cara Rooke one. “We had good spacing on the field. We passed a lot more on transitions and we were aggressive on ground balls. We really wanted it this game,” said Barkovic. Junior Caroline Lasher led the Eagles with three goals, with senior Mary Rodman adding two and senior Catey Whitt one. The Eagles fell to Brentsville in a regional play-in on Friday to finish the season 4-8.

For older adults, downsizing and moving into an “active adult, over 55 community” can be both liberating and boost their social lives.
55-plus neighborhoods: Great for finding community and a sense of belonging By Denise Schefer
Long & Foster R ealty
Recently, I helped a dear family friend sell her townhouse when she decided to move into a “55-plus community” in Northern Virginia. A few weeks ago, I sat down with her and six of her neighbors to find out more about their experiences and help gain some insights and recommendations. Their ages range from the mid60s to 80s, and most had come from larger, multi-level single-family homes and townhomes, so they needed to downsize. The community they moved into has residents from very diverse backgrounds and offers one- and two-level, single-family homes and one-level condo options. There is a clubhouse with two pools, a gym, meeting rooms, tennis and pickleball courts, grills and more. An activity director was recently hired to oversee events for the residents. The piece of advice they stressed the most was to start your home search early! It’s better to move on
your terms and on your schedule rather than a last-minute move because of medical reasons. “Less is more,” one woman emphasized. Moving household items will be expensive, and what you had in the old house may not work in the new one. Several people started getting rid of items a year before they planned to move. They suggested having an estate sale, yard sale or selling things on Facebook Marketplace. One woman had fun at a yard sale she was hosting by taping up a box of items and offering it up as a $5 mystery box. Items can also be donated to local thrift stores and organizations such as Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity. Passing on items to family and friends is also a great option. One resident gave many kitchen items to a young adult she knew that was getting ready to set up a new apartment. When I asked them how they handled very personal items and family heirlooms, one woman said she kept a single place setting and now displays it in her China cabinet. For those with
kids or someone that would be inheriting the item, they asked, “Will it mean something to them?” If not, it went. How about photos and videos? One resident bought a good quality scanner and digitized her photo albums. She also bought an external hard drive so she could back up the photos onto it. Another sent her photos to a company to digitize them onto a flash drive. She now displays them on her Amazon Echo device. Several others recommended standalone digital frames that are readily available. Someone transferred VHS tapes into more modern formats at Costco. All this digitizing served to get many of their memories out of a box and into their everyday lives. “The photos remind me of my mother’s love of genealogy and that my dad really was a cute little boy,” someone reminisced. People moving into active 55-plus communities want to interact with others, and the outliers are those who do not. The residents stressed that the effort you put into it is what you get

out of it. One woman mentioned, “it’s like living in a college dorm, but you have more money — so it’s funner!” Our family friend has talked about trips to local restaurants to Wawa to get soft-serve ice cream and walks around the neighborhood during nice weather. This is a great way to meet new people by stopping and talking to other residents and visiting with their dogs along the way. Sadly, they have recently had to help each other through some health issues, and the day I was there, they were planning a meal for a friend that had lost a relative. While there are a few things about their new homes that they would change, they all agree how good and how freeing downsizing makes you feel. No one regretted the items they had gotten rid of. But I think the best result of their moving is the close friendships they have made in such a short time and the extraordinary community they have created for themselves. This type of neighborhood is very rare, especially in this day and age, and I have no doubt that these bonds will deepen over the coming months and that they will continue to be there for each other through life’s ups and downs. If you are interested in starting the downsizing process, please reach out to me. I would be happy to provide you with recommendations and resources that would be helpful to you.

A second traffic study at the Courthouse Square intersection treated it like a three-way stop from March 18 to March 22 as part of the Town of Warrenton’s overall study of the complex intersection.
COURTESY OF THE TOWN OF WARRENTON PHOTO BY HUNTER SAVERY
Changes are coming to the Courthouse Square intersection in Warrenton By Hunter Savery Staff R eporter Following a series of traffic studies and public feedback, the Town of Warrenton has decided to install a three-way stop at one of the town’s most challenging intersections. The decision — along with study conclusions and the estimated cost — was announced at a Tuesday morning town council work session by Town Manager Frank Cassidy. “We are focusing on a three-way stop,” Cassidy told the Town Council. “This is a temporary, yet semi-permanent fix.” The decision is the culmination of a monthslong assessment that began with the placement of car counters in the square last July. The town explored multiple possible configurations for traffic at the intersection, including
closing left turn lanes on Alexandria Pike and Waterloo Street, creating a roundabout and implementing a three-way stop. A study of the three-way stop configuration, which ran from March 18 to 22, found that there was no increased traffic or delays on nearby Lee or Horner streets, though there was some increased congestion during evening rush hour on Waterloo and Ashby streets and Alexandria Pike. Ultimately, town staff concluded that the threeway stop moved traffic more efficiently than the existing traffic pattern and decreased car speed on both Main and Waterloo streets. It will cost about $8,000 to convert the intersection, including installing additional pavement markings and three stop signs, according to town documents. The estimated completion date has not been announced. “We are not looking at doing the improvements

for another couple of months as we get the funding squared away,” Cassidy said. In January, the town tested a configuration where the left turn lane on Alexandria Pike and the right turn lane on Winchester Street were closed. A public opinion survey conducted by the town found 82% of residents opposed that setup. In the same survey, 16% of respondents said they preferred a three-way stop. The vast majority, though — 67% — had no suggestion for how to improve the intersection. The town will continue looking into long-term solutions for Courthouse Square, including a possible traffic circle, Cassidy said Tuesday. Reach Hunter Savery at hsavery@fauquier.com.

Junior Kara Kaltreider and the Falcons topped Liberty 8-1 on Senior Night for their 10th win in their last 12 games.
Falcons enter playoffs on a roll FALCONS, from page 10 Senior pitcher Claire Keyser said the shared desire to succeed is propelling them. “We just want to keep playing as long as possible and playing for each other is so important to us. As the season has gone on, our bond has gotten so much closer too. It’s like a sisterhood. There’s so much selflessness with the team,” Keyser said. With seniors Keyser, April Belcher, Brooke Belcher, Ashley Heflin and Savannah Smith entering from the outfield on the tops of three all-black Jeep Wranglers on Senior Night, the good vibes lasted all night as the Falcons cruised past the Eagles 8-1. After a scoreless top of the first inning by Keyser, April Belcher led off the bottom of the first with a double to the left field gap and quickly scored on a delayed steal of third and an errant throw by the Eagles’ catcher. April Belcher drew a walk in her second at-bat to ignite a two-out rally in the bottom of the third, with four consecutive singles by Lydia Lovell, Brooke Belcher, Ashley Murphy and Brooke Farmer plating three runs to
put Fauquier ahead 4-1. The Falcons didn’t need to add another run as Keyser was locked in in the circle, tossing a complete game with six strikeouts and no earned runs allowed. Keyser entered Friday’s game with 99 strikeouts on the year. “My rise ball usually works best for swings and misses and I threw my change up a little bit more than I normally do tonight just to throw them off a bit so they couldn’t get my timing down,” Keyser said. “We faced Liberty before and I knew what their batters were looking for, so I just made sure to hit my spots and take it one pitch at the time.” Fauquier added two runs in the sixth on a towering two-run home run into the pine trees in straightaway center field by April Belcher, a fitting ending to a memorable Senior Night for the Falcons. Next up is Wednesday’s playoff opener vs. visiting Meridian. “Once we started winning, they were like, ‘This can be special,’ so now we got to play for each other and there’s no telling how far we can go if we’re all on the same page pulling in the same direction,” coach Gilmore said.
Kettle Run boys faced Tigers Tuesday COUGARS, from page 11 Liberty kept taking leads as midfielder Mason Turner knotted three scores in the second half and Eagle goalie Cohen Laskaris kept Kettle Run at bay, until the Cougars’ triumphant comeback. A hectic fourth quarter began with Liberty ahead 8-7. A whiffed shot towards an open net by Kettle Run’s Noah Stubbs came inches away from evening the match at 8. Liberty scored three straight to take a 10–7 lead. But a spark remained in Kettle Run’s sticks. After one of many lategame timeouts, coach Logan fanned
the flame. “Keep a level head and just keep pushing,” Logan told his team during late-game timeouts. “Once you let emotion take control, you mess up, and we saw it a few times tonight with us. We messed up a few times on emotion. Once we got that emotion under control, we locked in.” That message gave way to a fiery comeback. Stubbs netted one to make it 10-8 then Hodges scored twice at the crease to even the score at 10. Min’s match-deciding goal gave the Cougars the final four goals of the match.

field Virginia. Cornell was an avid sports fan who was well versed on practically all sports, especially football. His love for sports was equally matched by his love for video games, particularly Madden. He was a huge fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and was so excited to go to their Superbowl win celebration. Cornell also enjoyed weightlifting, and was also a huge wrestling fan (WWE) from a very young age. He shared his enthusiasm for sports with his friends and family. Cornell was a great drummer. He played with his family's gospel band and as a part of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Music Ministry for several years. He also stood up the streaming ministry for his church, which he continued to support even after he moved out of the area. Cornell never met any strangers, once he met you he knew you. His infectious smile and gentle demeanor had a calming effect on a room. He went out of his way to make everyone feel special. Everyone loved Cornell, especially the children who seemed to naturally gravitate to him. He believed in living life to the fullest. Cornell leaves to mourn his parents Cornell Jr. and Lori Sligh-Parrish, sister Kiara Sligh, brother Spencer Parrish, paternal grandmother Gloria Parrish, maternal uncles Benjamin (Janet) and Ordin Sligh, maternal aunt Linda S. Sligh, paternal aunts Debra Parrish and Tonya (Keith) Sumter, paternal uncle Clifton Parrish, godmother Rev Sarah Millner, a host of cousins, friends, a very special lady whom he loved Jonique Holcomb-Meade and her family, and his entire Mt Calvary Baptist Church family. Cornell was pre deceased by his paternal grandfather Cornell Parrish, Sr., maternal grandparents Benjamin F. and Vera M. Sligh Jr, aunt Joy A. Sligh and uncle Larry Snipe.

Children & Adults 10 a.m.
When it comes to grief and bereavement, a ritual can speak a thousand words. Sometimes words are not enough to express how we feel, and other times we simply can’t find the right words. This is when rituals and traditions are even more powerful. Rituals and ceremonies bring people together through a shared experience, even when we don’t always see eye to eye in daily life. Every culture has mourning rituals to help us move through loss. Hindus cook an elaborate favorite meal of the deceased to share with the community. Vietnamese create elaborate shrines to honor the deceased. Native Americans and Mexicans bury their deceased with treasured items from life. And many cultures mourn and celebrate simultaneously through music. Funeral practices and rituals are influenced by religious and cultural traditions, costs, and personal preferences. These factors help determine whether the funeral will be elaborate or simple, public or private, religious or secular. To learn about our services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
