The proposed Bealeton Solar Center is slated for 161 acres near Remington and Lucky Hill roads between Remington and Bealeton. It would be near an existing solar farm and quarry, just north of four proposed data center campuses. It still needs approval from the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors.

A 93-acre solar farm proposed for southern Fauquier County has cleared a hurdle that tripped up similar projects before it.

The Bealeton Solar Center — a utility-scale solar farm halfway between Bealeton and Remington — got a boost last week when the county planning commission decided unanimously that it aligns with the county’s comprehensive plan.

The next step for the proposal from Sun Tribe Development of Charlot-

tesville will be to apply for a special exception permit, since it would sit on land zoned for agriculture. Agricultural zoning has stopped several solar projects in the past.

The project is proposed for a 161.7-acre triangle-shaped parcel northeast of the junction of Remington and Lucky Hill roads, north of Remington. It is slated to produce about 14 megawatts of electricity.

That’s enough to power 3,500 homes but only a fraction of what’s needed for a medium-sized data center.

At Brumfield Elementary, library time means serving the world Students help raise money for charity while learning

By Aimee O’Grady Contributing Writer

Linda Hume, the librarian at Warrenton’s Brumfield Elementary School, sees her job as expanding her student’ horizons.

That’s what a good library book can do. It’s a moment away from homework and classwork to discover something new and understand the world in a different way.

Another way to learn about the world is to do something to make it a better place, so Hume has tried to get her students involved in charitable work whenever possible.

This school year, her students have contributed to charity by making art and collecting aluminum.

Through a program called Students Rebuild, her students’ art helped raise more than $23,000 for environmental action. They also collected 170 pounds of aluminum for the Ronald McDonald House to be sold to raise money for the families of ill children.

“I loved helping others in need and not thinking about ourselves and only worrying about others’ care,” said fourth-grader Mackenzie Polizzi.

Along with her twin, Brentley, they participated in both fundraising efforts.

“I love the fact that we were helping people and raising money for charity,” Brentley Polizzi said.

Hume first learned about a program called Students Rebuild two years ago during the Virginia Association of School Librarians annual conference. The program assigns annual projects to encourage global action and offers rewards to those who complete them.

“We share books about people in the global community making positive change, and I want my students to believe they can have an impact on

Brumfield Elementary School librarian Linda Hume poses with aluminum can pop tops that her students collected for Ronald McDonald House. the world around them,” she said.

Of the 5,072 schools worldwide that participate in Students Rebuild, Brumfield Elementary School is the only participant from Fauquier County.

“The theme for Students Rebuild changes every year,” Hume said. “This year it was ‘extraordinary earth.’ After our [class] book lesson, the kids would do an art activity. Art pieces are then photographed and uploaded to Students Rebuild,” she said.

For each photo of art submitted, the Bezos Family Foundation made a $5 donation to a nonprofit of its choosing that addresses environmental issues. Since January, 2,453 photos of art were submitted by Brumfield students, which brought the total dollar amount donated from the Bezos Family Foundation to $23,295.

Mackenzie and Brentley’s mother, Patty Polizzi, is grateful for what her kids learn at the library. “[The librarians] help to reinforce the values that we teach our children daily to always help others and be inclusive,” she said. “These projects are just a small part of the bigger picture, and every little bit counts. Our children have enjoyed being part of such a great cause.”

Students also collected pull tabs for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

“Pull tabs from aluminum drink cans are collected because they have more concentrated aluminum and are more sanitary to store,” Hume said.

Ronald McDonald House sells them, and 100% of the money raised goes to offsetting the cost of housing families of children receiving medical treatment.

For third grader Avery Flanigan, it was an opportunity to pay back a benefit her family received.

“My parents actually stayed at Ronald McDonald House when I had surgery as a baby,” she said.

“I was excited to collect tabs at home to help. I went through our recycling bin and collected as many as I could.”

The students are also involved with UNICEF Kid Power Ups. Students watch a video, do an activity and earn a peanut paste pack for a malnourished child. For every 150 peanut packs they earn, a malnourished child can be fed.

Second grader Maddie Schmitt said this was the best library activity.

“The most fun thing that I did in library class to help others was the UNICEF Kid Power Ups,” she said. “These brain breaks helped us to get our energy out and learn to calm down. My favorite was when we moved like dragons. This was a fun way to help us get our energy out so we could refocus in class and check out our books.”

Kids make up half of people experiencing homelessness in Fauquier County

By Meghan Mangrum Deputy Editor

Nearly half of those experiencing homelessness in Fauquier County are children, according to a new report out last week.

Though the number of unhoused people remained steady in Fauquier County and the surrounding region — after rapidly increasing following the pandemic — who is homeless has changed.

Of the approximately 274 people experiencing homelessness in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties, 93, or more than a third of them, are children.

At least 62 of those children live in Fauquier County.

That’s according to an annual, nationwide effort by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and local social service agencies to tally the number of individuals sleeping in shelters, temporary housing or even outdoors across the community.

The Foothills Housing Network, a coalition of nonprofit and government agencies, conducts the count in the Rappahannock-Rapidan region’s five counties.

This year’s count took place on Jan. 24 with volunteers from Foothills’ partner groups fanning out across communities trying to locate individuals.

Counting the number of people experiencing homelessness in rural areas like Fauquier and the surrounding counties is uniquely challenging.

Someone experiencing homelessness might stay in a shelter or a motel, live out of their car or camp in the woods.

Tallying the number of children who are experiencing homeless can be even harder, as some may be without a permanent place but staying temporarily with relatives or friends. Officially, the federal housing department does not recognize people as homeless when they are “couch

surfing” or staying temporarily in various homes, so they often don’t appear in the count.

Advocates argue that these one-time annual counts, which occur in communities across the country, often grossly underestimate the real number of people experiencing homelessness.

Though the total number of people experiencing homelessness in the Piedmont region did not see much change from 2023 to 2024, there are more women without a place to live than men and boys and more individuals who identify as Hispanic or Latino than in the previous six years, according to this year’s report.

An increasing number of people also said this was the first time they’ve experienced homelessness.

The majority of individuals counted in Fauquier County were found staying in transitional or temporary housing, but nearly a dozen people were completely unsheltered.

That more than doubled in Culpeper County, where about 50 people were staying in emergency shelters as of the time of the count.

Eviction, unemployment or underemployment and domestic violence were the top three reasons people provided for why they were on the streets, according to the Foothills Housing Network.

Of those who provided a reason behind their current struggle, 12.2% said they were fleeing domestic violence. Nearly 22% cited unemployment or underemployment and 16% said they had been evicted.

Only about 5% of those who provided a reason said it was due to having a disability, but 61% said they had a disability that limited them.

The lack of affordable housing in the region is another major reason advocates cite for why people struggle to maintain stable housing.

The end of pandemic-era relief programs and federal housing assistance also has accounted in part for the uptick seen since 2020.

Where did the people experience homelessness in Fauquier County sleep the night of Jan. 24?

Unsheltered: 11 Emergency shelter: 16 Transitional shelter: 33 Hotel (not self-paid): 9 Hotel (self-paid): 2 Other: 63 Total: 134 Source: Foothills Housing Network Foothills noted that children are more likely to be impacted by racial disparities. Though an equal number of white and Black individuals are experiencing homelessness in the region overall, 57% of those who are unhoused in Fauquier County are Black.

At least 15 individuals included in the count are veterans, with nine considered unsheltered — a decrease according to the report.

About 20 individuals were 65 or older, with another 47 between 55 to 64 years old.

The cost of living in the region, especially in Warrenton and Fauquier County, has remained a hot topic in recent months — as home prices and rents have increased.

In recent months, leaders of nonprofits that help people secure housing have begun working together following a February call from Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill for the town and Fauquier County to take a more active role in addressing housing scarcity.

Opposition mounts to revived Catlett data center plan Residents pack town hall meeting

Chris Colvin, president of Protect Catlett, a group that organized in opposition to the data centers proposed for Catlett, speaks to residents during a town hall meeting on Tuesday, May 21.

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

More than 90 people, who packed the old rescue squad hall in Catlett earlier this week for a meeting about a data center complex proposed for just north of town, had a resounding message for developers and county officials: Not here.

First pitched in 2020, the project was recently revived with a new application to Fauquier County officials.

Developer Headwaters is seeking a rezoning to allow up to four two-story buildings with 1.2 million square feet of floor space at the junction of Catlett Road and Gaskins Lane.

The meeting, held Tuesday, May 21, was organized by Protect Catlett, a group that sprung up last year to oppose this project and power lines to feed it. Unlike in nearby Remington, where residents have expressed mixed views about data centers at local town halls, the Catlett residents seemed a stone wall of resistance.

“I’m totally against it,” said Larry Simpson, a Fauquier County native who moved to Catlett three years ago. “I love this county. It’s a farming community with a deep, rich heritage.

These are just ugly concrete buildings. They serve no community purpose and offer no jobs. It’s destroying the heritage we love so much.”

Mike Stevens, a member of Protect Catlett who attended a recent meeting hosted by Headwaters, explained for the group the developers’

arguments for the project, including that it would create 30 to 40 jobs per building and generate $20 million in local tax revenue when fully operational. No representatives from the company were at the meeting.

Headwaters also pledged to create a $100,000 community development fund, he said, and has promised to buy all or part of a 116-acre farm directly to the north to create a buffer and to prevent further development.

After Stevens laid out the company’s case, Chris Colvin, president of Protect Catlett, rebutted its claims, backed up by a panel of data center opponents from Citizens for Fauquier County and the Piedmont Environmental Council. They criticized data centers for their huge power demands and argued that the county’s noise ordinance cannot protect residents from the continual drone of their cooling equipment that have drawn complaints elsewhere. They also noted Fauquier County’s new data center

It’s also just north of four data center complexes in the pipeline: the still-unbuilt Remington Technology Park and the yet to be approved Convergent, SAMX and Gigaland projects. But the Bealeton project would feed the power grid and not any particular data center.

At Brumfield Elementary, library time means serving the world BRUMFIELD, from page 2 Even the simplest of gestures can make a difference, Hume said.

“I hope that every child grows up believing that they can have a positive impact on the world around them,” she said.

Fifth grader Lyla Brown said she will take the lessons she learned at the library with her to middle school.

“This library has done so much throughout just one year,” she said. “I enjoyed collecting pull tabs from family and friends knowing they would go to a good cause, the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Imagine what the future will bring.”

policy discourages rezoning land for data centers and argued that any new transmission lines to power the Catlett data centers would attract others.

“More means more means more,” said Colvin.

The comprehensive plan for Catlett, drawn up in 2018 with citizen input, did not envision data centers, Colvin argued.

Mary Root, the chairperson of the county’s Architectural Review Board, said in an interview that as far back as 2013 her board said they wanted developments in Catlett to reflect the village’s distinct character.

“Smacking down a huge data center ... would just ruin the local charm,” Root said. “It’s so close to the historic district, it’s not even funny.” With Board of Supervisors Chairman Rick Gerhardt, who represents Catlett, sitting in the back of the room, Colvin ask for a show of hands from those opposed to the project.

“How many people are think-

ty-scale solar farm constructed in the county since 2017, when Dominion Energy built a similar-sized solar farm just south of where this one would be located.

Several recent applications for solar farms in Fauquier have been doomed by the fact that they would be located on what the U.S. Department of Agriculture designates as “prime farmland,” based on soil surveys and maps. Industrial use of such land would run afoul of the county’s comprehensive plan, which states a goal in multiple places to preserve such farmland and the county’s rural culture.

Since the planning commission decides whether a proposed development is in concert with the comprehensive plan, several solar farms proposed on prime agricultural land — the most recent being Torch Clean Energy’s Sowego project near Bristersburg — were nixed by the commission.

But several things made this project different.

First, while the federal agriculture department’s online database lists the property as 82% prime farmland, county planning chief Adam Schellenberger said the developer did an on-site soils analysis and found the land not to be “prime cropland.”

Second, unlike some other proposed solar sites, this one is largely wooded and had not been farmed for decades — perhaps for 40 years, said Commissioner Georgia Herbert in an interview.

And third, the quarry owners indicated that when the solar farm’s panels reached the end of their lifespan — a period that usually runs 30 years —the quarry plans to expand its operations onto the property. Thus, it never would be farmed.

The site is also transected by electric utility lines and is close to a Dominion Energy solar farm built in 2017 and its substation.

“The fact that it was next to the quarry and is go-

ing they don’t want the data centers built?” Colvin asked.

All hands appeared to be raised.

To be sure, Colvin asked anyone undecided or in favor to raise a hand.

Not a single hand was raised.

Gerhardt said he was overwhelmed by the show of opposition but also pointed out that he represents both Catlett and the county as a whole.

“I’m ultimately going to do what you guys want me to do,” he told the residents. “I’m going to listen to the masses of the people in this local area.

And I’m going to support that. But understand what we’re looking at.”

He noted that the land is zoned for industrial uses, and, thus, could be developed into several things by right — from a car auction lot to a petroleum distribution center.

After the meeting, Gerhardt said he might not declare a position until the application comes before the board.

“I’m still being open minded,” he said.

Colvin said the group was sure it had at least one vote against the data center project — that of Supervisor Regan Washer, who campaigned against allowing more data centers in the county.

“She’s correct,” Washer said in a phone call Thursday. “I have kept my message very consistent about data centers. And I will not be accommodating them in any capacity.”

ing to become part of the quarry over time and was next to all the other (power) stuff that’s right there in the neighborhood, it was a close question but that was what made my decision,” said Herbert, who voted in favor of the project with her fellow commissioner during their meeting on May 16.

But getting past the planning commission review is just the start.

In 2021, Fauquier County adopted a lengthy set of rigorous standards for utility-scale solar projects, including requirements for project size, setbacks, distance from other solar farms and avoidance of “all identified historic, archaeological or cultural sites.” According to a map presented by county planners, about half of the 161-acre site contains land that is part of the Rappahannock Station Battlefield. The planning staff recommended that the solar farm be moved out of the boundaries of the battlefield.

Bobby Jocz, associate director of project development for Sun Tribe, told the commission that his company would “ensure that we’re avoiding impacts to any sensitive cultural historic resources on the site or adjacent to the site.”

Jocz also said that, if the project goes forward, his company would enter a “siting agreement,” a process in Virginia law that allows solar developers to pay their host localities to help offset county costs in a variety of areas.

He said the arrangement “could provide upwards to $2 million in tax payments to the county over the life of the project.”

Kids get in free Sunday at Bealeton’s Flying Circus The summerlong airshow holds 2 Kids Days every year

By Aimee O’Grady Contributing Writer

Bealeton’s annual summerlong Flying Circus air show will hold the first of two special days with free admission for kids on Sunday, June 2.

Activities for children on Kids Day include a moon bounce house, face painting and performances by local youth groups. Free admission includes the airshow.

The weekly air show, which first took flight in 1970, demonstrates the “golden years of flight” recalling the barnstorming era between the two world wars.

At the show, attendees can see several 1940-41 World War II primary trainer planes, the Stearman, flown by Dave and Rick Conn, Keith Firmin, Frank Isbell and John Weyrach. Lisa Firmin flies a 1943 WWII Aeronca L3, and Chuck Tippett and John Potock fly the King Family 1938 WACO. Tippett also flies a 1943 Piper L4. A modified 450 Stearman is used for wing-walking, and a Comedy Red Baron is also flown in the show.

This is the sixth year for Kids Days, which were launched when airshow organizers Chuck and Vicki Tippett became concerned that families with multiple children could no longer afford to buy tickets for the whole family. The second Kids Day will be held on July 28.

Flying Circus Kids Day

“First Saturdays” will take over Remington’s main drag this summer.

Every Saturday starting June 1, Remington’s Main Street will close to pedestrians only and host a block party.

The event was launched last year by the restaurant, Craft and Crust, with support from Remington Town Council. This year’s series begins Saturday, June 1, from 5 to 9 p.m.

“We wanted to give people something to do on the weekend that didn’t compete with local towns’

For weather updates on the day of the event, visit www.facebook.com/ flyingcircusairshow “The airshow is for everyone, and we want to make sure that everyone can access it,” said Chuck Tippett, a Flying Circus Board member, pilot and the circus’ chief wing-walker.

Today, Kids Days also honors the memory of Vicki Tippett, who died unexpectedly in 2020. She was a special education teacher who helped develop Fauquier County Public Schools’ Transitions Program, which serves students ages 18 to 22 with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program provides hands-on work experience and life skills.

“We continue to honor her and celebrate life every year on Kids Day,” said Chuck Tippett.

The air show runs for six months and has 27 shows scheduled: one every Sunday. A hot-air balloon festival is set for Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 17 and 18.

GUEST OPINION

Say no to rezoning for more data centers

The expected data center surge in Fauquier County has started. In recent weeks, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors grandfathered a third data center in Vint Hill from a recently passed zoning change requiring more review; developers held meetings in Remington and Catlett to advocate for more data centers; and Warrenton approved a site development plan for Amazon’s data center.

There are currently seven proposed data centers in Fauquier County that would occupy 7.3 million square feet compared to the four currently in operation or already approved. Importantly, of the seven proposed data centers, four would involve rezoning.

Fauquier County runs the risk that large data center clusters will emerge in Vint Hill, Remington and possibly Catlett, impacting neighborhoods, historic communities and working farms and forests.

Enormous amounts of electric power will be required, but no one seems to know how it will be supplied.

Consider Remington and Catlett.

The five data centers on the draw-

Kevin Ramundo

ing board there would consume 698 acres or about a quarter of the land in the combined service districts.

With a growing concentration of data centers, these two historic villages as we know them could be gone forever, and the number and diversity of small businesses will steadily decline as land costs and taxes skyrocket.

Citizens for Fauquier County is not against data centers. On the contrary, we largely support the county’s new data center policy.

But we are concerned that it could open the door to rezoning, which we strongly oppose because this will lead to more data centers, transmission lines and substations and utility-scale solar “farms.”

Fauquier County will lose its rural character, and its communities will lose their historic sense of

place and economic diversity.

The strongest argument for data centers is the tax revenues they provide. Yes, there are legitimate needs for more revenue in the county, but the “need more revenue argument” only goes so far.

Based on information from Fauquier County, the CFFC estimates that the county’s already approved zoning for data centers could generate about $100 million annually in local tax revenue, an amount equal to about one quarter of the county budget.

To limit the surge in data centers, CFFC believes the county should stand firm against rezoning, starting with the four current proposals in Remington and Catlett that would lead to an additional 464 acres of data centers at the expense of commercial, industrial, rural and residential uses.

While these uses will generate less property taxes than data centers, they are more desirable in other ways by providing more jobs and community amenities and improved economic development and quality of life.

These uses are clearly contem-

plated in Fauquier County’s Comprehensive Plan, which is designed to provide modest growth while preserving villages and towns, historic resources, open space and agriculture — all attributes that make Fauquier County so special.

Everyone should realize that the pretty pictures of attractive data center buildings set back from view amidst extensive landscaping and other efforts at persuasion by developers have one purpose: to convince citizens to support their plans for more data centers and rezoning so they can reap large financial rewards.

Also, realize that once the land is rezoned, the community will lose most of its ability to influence what happens because what actually gets built will be determined by the ultimate owner or user of the data center, not the developer that promises the moon and the stars.

Let’s not open Pandora’s Box by rezoning. It’s a slippery slope that could lead to more data centers throughout much of the county.

Kevin Ramundo is the president of Citizens for Fauquier County.

LEGAL NOTICES TOWN OF WARRENTON NOTICE OF TOWN COUNCIL MEETING

Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Warrenton will hold their Regular Monthly Meeting Work Session on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, at 9:00 AM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia.

Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Warrenton will hold their Regular Monthly Meeting on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, at 6:30 PM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia. Council will hold a Public Hearing on the following items: 1.) ZOTA 2023-01 A Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Reduce the Setback Requirement for Telecommunication Towers. Zoning Ordinance Section 9-18.10 - Setbacks requires that all telecommunication towers in all zoning districts be set back from property lines at a distance no less than the full height of the tower. The applicant is requesting that the setback requirement be reduced to allow a setback that is less than the height of the tower, with certification provided from an engineer that a lesser setback is appropriate due to the design of the tower. This text amendment would apply in all Zoning Districts throughout the Town. Arcola Towers LLC (Applicant)/James P. Downey (Representative) 2.) Smart Scale Transportation Applications - The Town of Warrenton is seeking to submit to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Smart Scale Round 6 applications for the Lee Highway (US 211/Bus 29) segment between the intersections at Winchester Street and Blackwell Road. The proposed projects are part of a VDOT Pipeline Study that includes a roundabout at Fletcher Drive, intersection accessibility modifications at Village Center Drive and Branch Drive, and a future stormwater management basin. The segment would complete the multi-modal improvements from the previously Smart Scale funded roundabouts at Lee Highway and Winchester Street and Lee Highway and Blackwell Road. If selected for award in 2025 by the Commonwealth of Transportation Board, funding for implementation will become part of the latter years of the 2025 Virginia Six-Year Improvement Plan.

3.) A Storm Water and Erosion Management Ordinance Update A combined Storm Water & Erosion Control update to the ordinance to separate these items out and form a new chapter. The Sediment Control Consolidation Bill Combine stormwater management and erosion and sediment control requirements under the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Act (VESMA), §§ 62.1-44.15:24 through 62.144.15:50 of the Code of Virginia. With the Consolidation Bill and VESM Regulation becoming effective on July 1, 2024, local ordinances for the administration of a Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Program2 (VESCP) or Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) will need to be updated to reflect both the new law and regulations.

4.) An Ordinance to Exempt Real Property Owned by the Cortona Foundation from Taxation Pursuant to Virginia Code Section 58.13651. The proposed ordinance will exempt from taxation real property used for charitable purposes owned by the Cortona Foundation: Owner The Cortona Foundation

Fauquier County graduates, celebrate, reflect on high school years

By Kate Seltzer

Fauquier High School celebrated its 297 graduates on May 21.

Red, blue and green caps soared into the sky last week as Fauquier County’s high school seniors officially became alumni.

The class of 2024 and their families celebrated graduations that marked the culmination of four years of learning and growth amid the backdrop of the pandemic.

This year’s class of 945 seniors began their high school careers online — starting ninth grade in the fall of 2020. Eventually, they shifted to a hybrid schedule, with in-person classes two days a week before returning to campus in time for their sophomore year.

For graduates like Fauquier High School’s Allie Strickland and Mason Hamilton and Kettle Run’s Lily Von Herbulis, the pandemic motivated them to make the most of their high school experience. Each student, selected by their school as an outstanding senior, reflected on the last four years and their plans for the future.

“Nobody wants to start off high school online, not meeting anybody,” Strickland said.

Strickland said the experience taught her to be more social and to practice opening up to other students and teachers. Those efforts included joining the track and field hockey teams — where she excelled.

“I’m super proud of myself,” she said. “It was super hard to get involved and meet new people because we were online for a big portion of high school. And I feel very accomplished by doing that, because I’ve joined multiple groups and clubs.”

Strickland joined groups like Morgan’s Message, a national organization started here in Fauquier County dedicated to removing mental health stigma in the student athlete community. Strickland served as the club’s ambassador for the school.

“My last few years of gymnastics were kind of rough for me,” she said. “I was injured all the time, and my mental health wasn’t the best. I just wanted to join a group that was about mental health, and I wanted people to know my story, and I wanted to help people that were struggling with mental health too.”

Strickland will start her first year at James Madison University in the fall. She plans on majoring in elementary education, a decision she said she made in part based on classes she took in high school.

“I (took) the preschool class, and I loved it so much,” she said. “Being with the kids made me really happy.”

She also volunteered at C.M. Bradley Elementary School with teacher Cristiane Reutzel.

Though he was a good student and a three-sport athlete — and named MVP of the 2023 Bird Bowl — Hamilton isn’t headed to a four-year university.

Instead, he’s starting an apprenticeship with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union and plans on eventually becoming a certified electrician.

“I’m super excited to graduate and to start working especially,” Hamilton said. “I’m not the biggest school guy. But I love working, and I’m excited to get out into the working field.”

Hamilton also loved an electricity class he had the opportunity to take while in high school. He said he was especially thankful for this electricity teacher, George Clark.

“I think I would tell (my freshman self) just to try new things, because I was always set on going to college,” Hamilton said. “So I didn’t take any trade classes until later in my high school career. I think if I just tried new things, then I would have started off faster and been more into it.”

GRADUATION, from page 12 Fauquier County schools offer a variety of industry-oriented and dual-enrollment classes that can fast track a student after high school. This fall, the division will offer two new such classes in plumbing and HVAC through a partnership with Laurel Ridge Community College’s Workforce Solutions initiative.

This year, more than 75% of Fauquier County graduates said they plan to head straight to college or a trade school after high school, with 611 planning to attend a two- or four-year university and 127 headed to trade school. Another 28 said they plan to join the military, and 176 are headed into the workforce, according to school data.

Hamilton doesn’t plan to stop participating in athletics though. He played football and ran track for the Falcons and said he hopes to keep sports in his life forever.

“I think I would definitely still weight train and exercise,” he said. “And also, I’ve talked to my track coach, and he said he would love to have me back to coach if possible next year.”

Hamilton, along with his classmates, also remembered former Fauquier High principal Kraig Kelican as he reflected on his time as a Falcon.

Kelican, who died in October 2023 from injuries sustained in car crash, honored Hamilton as last year’s Bird Bowl MVP and was a source of inspiration, Hamilton said.

Kelican’s son, Kasey Kelican, spoke during the school’s commencement ceremony last Tuesday on Kelican Field — which was renamed in the former principal’s honor.

Lily Von Herbulis

Like the rest of her graduating class at Kettle Run High School, Lily Von Herbulis started her high school career online in 2020 — in the middle of a pandemic.

“It was definitely nothing like High School Musical,” she said.

Still, Von Herbulis remained optimistic. She said the experience taught her to appreciate the small things in life.

“I had to learn how to connect with people more than just face to face, since that wasn’t really an opportunity anymore,” she said. “(I learned) to enjoy the little moments that you get to have with people.

Once things started opening up, it really made it that much more special to get to see people in real life.”

After a return to in-person classes her sophomore year, Von Herbulis attended Mountain Vista Governor’s School, splitting her time between Laurel Ridge Community College and Kettle Run High.

She also swam for Kettle Run, specializing in the 50- and 100-meter freestyle events. She competed at states all four years, a feat she accomplished by waking up at 3:30 a.m. every morning for practice.

“It’s not something that a lot of people would willingly do,” she said. “Swim has always been my absolute favorite thing. It’s been my escape, and it’s been just such a motivator for me.”

Von Herbulis will continue swimming in college on the varsity team at Tulane University, where she plans to study psychology and exercise science with the goal of one day becoming a sports psychologist.

“I’m somebody that really sees the mental health effects when it comes to sports, and I want to be there for athletes,” she said. “I want to help people that are in my position, in my teammates’ positions.”

Von Herbulis said going to school in New Orleans, far from family and friends, will be a difficult but welcome challenge.

“It’s slowly starting to hit me that all these people around me who made my (high school) experience so special — I’m not really going to see them anymore,” she said. “I’m sad to leave but I know there’s a lot out there waiting for me, so I’m definitely very excited.”

State berths beckon for FHS, Kettle Run softball

By Peter Brewington Sports Editor

A dream local softball scenario is at hand with Fauquier and Kettle Run close to making the Class 3 state softball tournament.

The Falcons (16-6) and Cougars (11-10) would meet each other in Thursday’s region final if both won their Region B semifinals Tuesday.

After the region final would be the Class 3 quarterfinals June 4 for both teams.

No. 2 seed Fauquier downed visiting No. 7 seed Meridian 3-0 in last Wednesday’s region quarterfinals as Claire Keyser and Brooke Farmer combined on a no-hitter and Lydia Lovell blasted a solo home run.

Keyser struck out 10 in six no-hit innings with Farmer firing a hitless seventh.

Fauquier coach Craig Gilmore said Keyser pitched 11 innings this year without allowing a hit against the Mustangs. He said he chose to take her out after six

innings with her no-hitter alive last week because he wants to manage her innings.

“Claire understands it’s for the good of the team,” Gilmore said. “They know how important this time of year is.

“We’ve tried to keep it loose,” he said of the Falcons’ bid to make the state tournament for the first time since 2016.

The Falcons hosted No. 3 seed Goochland (13-8) in Tuesday’s region semis, with No. 4 seed Kettle Run hosting No. 8 Skyline (7-14) in the other semi.

Kettle Run caught two huge breaks last week. First off, No. 1 seed Brentsville lost to No. 8 Skyline 1-0 in a major upset in Wednesday’s quarterfinals.

Two days later the Cougars, slated to host No. 5 seed Maggie Walker in their quarterfinal, received word that Maggie Walker was forfeiting, meaning Kettle Run will make the state softball tournament for the first time by beating No. 8 seed Skyline.

The Fauquier High girls soccer team continued its magical season with a 2-1 win over visiting Meridian in the Class 3 Region B quarterfinals last Wednesday at Kelican Field.

After splitting two regular season games with No. 5-seeded Meridian, the No. 4-seeded Falcons (10-4-3) prevailed on a first half goal by sophomore Jasmine Twyman and a Mustangs’ own goal.

Coach Bryan Black said tactical adjustments helped. Meridian beat Fauquier 2-0 on April 19, while the Falcons won 2-1 on May 8.

“Our girls were prepared,” said Black. “We knew Meridian was going to bring it after we beat them in our last meeting. We decided to stack our midfield and make it hard for Meridian to create chances. We were able to counter Meridian’s attempts and created dangerous offensive chances,” Black said.

Among the Falcon midfield stars were junior Katie Coonce, sophomore Lily Retana-Rodriguez and freshmen Leah Howland and Ashley Perez. Stout defending led by goalie Mason Riley also keyed the victory.

The Falcons moved in front 1-0 after a deflected Perez cross into the box was sent into the Meridian goal by a Meridian player in the 15th minute.

The Falcons’ lead reached 2-0 15 minutes later. After redirecting a

No. 6 seed Maggie Walker came to Kettle Run and pulled out a 1-0 win over the No. 3 seeded Cougars in another Class 3 Region B girls soccer quarterfinal.

The No. 6-seeded Dragons (10-4-1) jumped in front in the 37rd minute on a goal by Anna Widmer, who volleyed a perfect shot from about 10 yards out into the upper right corner above the reach of Cougars’ ace goalie Caelan Wright.

“What the girls did, I felt they did well. They were trying to get those opportunities, but we just couldn’t get that one opportunity,” said Kettle Run acting head coach Kristie Warren.

No. 3 seed Kettle Run saw a superb season end at 9-4-3.

The Fauquier girls soccer team earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over Meridian in last Wednesday’s Class 3 Region B quarterfinals. Elsewhere, Kettle Run fell to Maggie Walker 1-0.

Riley goal kick to junior Savannah Scribner, Twyman slipped behind the defense, received the ball back from Scribner and beat the Meridian goalkeeper to left corner shortly before halftime.

Fauquier had several quality looks at a third goal in the second

half. Meridian’s goalie received a red card for handling the ball outside the box but the Falcons couldn’t convert, keeping Meridian’s hopes ajar.

With 15 minutes to play, Meridian found the back of the net to cut the Falcons’ lead to 2-1, but Fauquier held on to win and advance to

the regional semifinals, where they faced No. 1 William Monroe (16-1) on Tuesday.

A Tuesday win sends Fauquier to the Class 3 state tournament starting June 4 and advances the Falcons to Thursday’s region final against No. 2 Brentsville (14-2-1) or No. 6 Maggie Walker (10-4-1).

Black knows James Monroe will be tough.

“We are playing at their home and we understand we are the underdogs. We welcome that role and will be prepared to try to punch our ticket to the regional finals,” Black said.

Multiple winners help Falcon boys seize region track title

By Matthew Proctor Staff Writer

With wins in six events and four other top 3 finishes, the Fauquier High boys track team earned the right to blare Queen’s “We Are the Champions” on the ride home from Saturday’s Class 3 Region B track meet in Richmond.

The Falcon boys captured the team title at Maggie Walker High as seniors Dylan Damer, Wyatt Shaw, juniors Aaron Lewis, Tyrese Nwankwo, Zach Seidel and the 4x100 relay team each finished on the top step of the podium.

It was a tight duel for the title as the Falcons (122 points) edged Culpeper County (110), Maggie Walker (105.5) and Kettle Run (101) for first.

“A lot of things came together for us. Handoffs were good, throws were good, jumps were good,” Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said. “The kids did a great job of executing.”

On the girls side, senior Cassidy Scott won the 800- and 1,600-meters while senior Allie Strickland and freshman Lyndsi Graves won the 100 and 300 hurdles, respectively, for the Falcons, who finished second with 131 points. Maggie Walker (165) won the girls title, with James Monroe (69) third, Brentsville (62) fourth and Kettle Run (55.5) fifth.

Thirty-two Falcons, including alternates, head to Liberty University on Friday and Saturday for the Class 3 state meet.

“We felt we would be up there in the running, but Maggie Walker is one of those schools, they run deep in a variety of events, so I’m really proud. A couple things during the wintertime didn’t bounce our way, and some things really worked out for us this week,” Jones said.

Fauquier got big performances from their mainstays in Damer, Seidel, Shaw, Scott and Strickland, but strong performances from budding stars Graves, Lewis and Nwankwo were equally as crucial.

Graves won the 300 hurdles with a time of 49.2 to edge teammate Ashleigh Prudham (50.97) in second. Nwankwo dominated the triple jump, soaring 44-feet, 4.25-inches to win by nearly three feet, while Lewis won the discus (147-8) and was second in the shot put (44-1).

“They prepared for the moment, and some of them walked away a little surprised, like, ‘I did that, wow!’ But things were coming throughout the year. It just takes time to develop,” Jones said.

As for Kettle Run, juniors Jayden Booth and

Fauquier’s Stephanie Clark (left) took third in the shot put at Saturday’s regional track meet. Kettle Run’s Grace Tessier (above) helped the Cougars win the 4x400 relay.

Owen Mullins won the shot put and 3,200, respectively, while juniors Erin Fay, Grace Tessier and sophomores Abigail Garner and Suzanna Mancini combined to win the 4x400 relay.

Kettle Run is sending 27, including alternates, to Lynchburg for the state meet this weekend.

“With the boys, I’d say the strength of our team is definitely still the distance group, and I think you can see that in the results. They got most of the points,” Kettle Run coach Jarrette Marley said.

Mullins delivered the top performance for the Cougars, winning the 3,200 in 9:56.13 and taking second in the 1,600 (4:26.5) – just ahead of teammate Brady Leitenberger (4:29.98) in third – and running on the 4x800 relay (8:16.45). “He had a pretty amazing regional performance,” Marley said.

Booth was the Cougars’ only other individual champion, winning the shot put by over two feet with a throw of 46-3 to shatter his own personal best by five feet. “He’s one of the strongest kids out there. He squats over 500 pounds,” Marley said.

Booth, one of the Cougars’ top defensive linemen on the football team, had never done the shot put until this spring.

“Coach (Charlie) Porterfield noticed pretty early on he had the potential. I think in practice, he was throwing over 40 feet the first day, so it’s just a matter of, ‘How quickly is he going to pick this up?’ Obviously, he made it happen for regionals, so we’re pretty excited,” Marley said.

Both Jones and Marley are confident the Falcons and Cougars will shine at states. At indoor states in the winter, the Fauquier girls were fourth, the boys ninth and both the Kettle Run boys and girls 18th.

“We have a good crew going to states and I think pushing again for a top-10, top-5 finish would be pretty awesome,” said Jones. “A lot of things are going to have to go really, really well for us. Our goal was trying to get a lot of kids qualified for states and we got a good qualifying bunch.”

hard,” Davenport said. “The hard work pays off.

So hopefully that can fester down to the younger boys and give us motivation for next year.”

Soccer can be a cruel game, often decided simply by who slips up the least. One miscommunication, one wrong step, or falling behind by a single stride can flip a game on its head in an instant.

The No. 2-seeded Fauquier High boys soccer team learned that the hard way in its season-ending 2-1 loss to visiting Maggie Walker (Richmond) in the Class 3 Region B quarterfinals at Kelican Field.

A pair of costly mistakes that led to two Dragons’ goals in the first 44 minutes created a fatal hole. Chris Guevara’s goal with 13 minutes left to play propped Fauquier’s hopes but the equalizer never came.

“There’s no words to say how proud I am of these boys,” said Fauquier coach Chase Davenport, whose team finished 9-5-3. “Two years ago we had two wins. Last year we had a good season.

This year we played even better.

“They matured and grew, they showed the world that we can be successful and can work

Jairo Contreras and the No. 2 Fauquier Falcons were eliminated by visiting No. 7 Maggie Walker in the region quarterfinals last week.

Ahead 5-0 entering the top of the fifth, the No. 2-seeded Fauquier High baseball team saw Skyline score three runs in the fifth, three in the sixth and six in the seventh to pull off a 12-5 come-from-behind upset in the Class 3 Region B quarterfinals.

Elsewhere, No. 3 seed Kettle Run was also upset at home, falling to No. 6 Culpeper 12-5 in another Region B quarterfinal.

With wins in their last five regular season games, including a 3-2 win over No. 1 Brentsville on May 17, the Cougars’ confidence was sky-high entering the playoffs.

“I thought we had momentum going and I did not expect to run into an axe grinder like we did,” coach Ty Thorpe said.

“We just got outhit. I got to give it to Culpeper, they swung it from top to bottom. There was no hole in that lineup at all,” Thorpe said.

Set clear expectations

Come up with a realistic timeframe for how long your kids will live with you. Is it a year? Is it when they receive their first raise? Whatever you agree to, put it in writing.

No room service

Treat your children as the adults they are by expecting them to pitch in. If they’re working, consider asking for rent to defray any add-

phone bill or fill up their tank, but will that help them learn to pay their own way and stick to a budget? It is usually more cost-effective to stay on a family cell phone plan than going solo but consider asking them to cover their share.

Help them save

If the goal of moving back home is to save, hold them to it. Consider stashing away their rent money (if you don’t need it) in a separate account to help them jump-start their savings and become financially in-

Edgar Boyd Simmons, Jr Edgar "E.B." Boyd Simmons, Jr., 87, died early on the morning of 13 May 2024 in Rockingham Memorial Hospital.Born on October 15, 1936, in Harrisonburg, Virginia, he was the eldest child of the late Edgar Boyd Simmons and Virginia (Craun) Simmons.

A graduate of Moorfield, WV High School, he graduated with a bachelor's in Chemistry from Bridgewater College, where he met his wife of just under 65 years, Catherine "Kathy" (Tusing) Simmons. He also received master's degrees from Madison College (now James Madison University) and the University of Virginia.

After college, he worked as a chemist at Atlantic Research Corporation and the United States Naval Research Laboratory. He found his true vocation as a teacher, a career he kept in the Prince William County and Manassas City School systems until he retired. He also served in the U.S. Navy Reserves.

Edgar positively touched many lives as a teacher, father, grandfather, and friend.

He loved being silly, was a master of the "Dad Joke," a playful teaser, and was a world traveler. He and Kathy visited all 50 states and 61 countries, feats which his sons have yet to equal.

Edgar is survived by his wife and two sons Matthew (Victoria) Simmons and Brett (Pam) Simmons; brother Donald "D.C." (Patti) Simmons and sister Jean Rice; and grandsons Nathan Simmons and Ethan Simmons.

A memorial service celebrating Edgar's life and faith will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2024, at 11:00 am at the Bridgewater Church of the Brethren; the service will also be live and streaming on the church's YouTube channel.

Memorial contributions can be made to the Bridgewater Retirement Community Foundation, 302 N. Second St., Bridgewater, VA 22812.

Arrangements are entrusted to Johnson Funeral and Cremation Service in Bridgewater. Online condolences may be sent to the family at johnsonfs.com.

TIPS FOR WRITING AN OBITUARY

ATTORNEY AT LAW

An obituary is a notification or announcement about someone’s death, traditionally printed in their hometown’s newspaper. It’s also a way to share details about funeral, burial, memorial services, and where flowers or donations should be sent. One of its most meaningful purposes is to memorialize the person’s life and create a long-term record for current and future family members. Typically, an obituary states the person’s name, age, hometown, and death date, often followed by the names of surviving family and any immediate family who have already passed. The summary of your loved one’s life is where your obituary will be unique.

Mention their education, career, accomplishments, special interests, and any teams, clubs, or faith-based organizations they were part of.

At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we pride ourselves on providing quality products and dignified service at an affordable cost. We understand that the emotional and financial burdens can be overwhelming, and our goal is to alleviate as much stress as possible during this time. To learn about our services, please call (540) 347-3431. We are conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
