Vint Hill Transitional Housing

Sustaining Fauquier Family Shelter Services

by Danica Low Andrée Munson – At the Heart of It Ten years ago, Andrée Munson, a New Orleans native, relocated to Warrenton with her husband after receiving an occupational transfer. With a background in accounting and a career as a controller in Louisiana, Andrée’s children were approaching high school graduation and she felt the nudge for something more.

About that same time, in 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit her home state hard, and as a result, eight of the couple’s family and friends temporarily moved into the Munson’s Warrenton home. It was then that Andrée realized just how quickly homelessness could strike. Her heart was widening with a desire to help those in need.

Andrée began a part-time job with Habitat for Humanity in Warrenton and then moved into a fulltime position with Habitat where she was for three years, ultimately becoming its Executive Director. It was this role that gave her the vision and the experience to serve as Executive Director for Fauquier Family Shelter Services, a role that she began in 2009.

When you speak with Andrée about her current work at Fauquier Family Shelter Services, you sense an enormous amount of care and love for those she helps to 6

Her eyes glisten with emotion as she speaks of the young mothers living in the Vint Hill temporary housing, and her commitment shines through as she humbly answers my questions about her weekly workload.

For the Community, By the Community Andrée shares that several years ago, when the Federal government implemented the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program, Virginia was one of 17 states to adopt the legislation. As a result, funding means and requirements were reorganized and Fauquier Family Shelter Services lost its federal and state funding.

The non-profit had to cut paid staff positions.

By comparison, in 2009, the Vint Hill location employed four full-time positions and two part-time positions.

Today, the organization is able to pay one full-time position and one part-time position at this location. Much of the workload was spread across remaining employees, but much went to volunteers who unexpectedly stepped up at just the right time. “When we started cutting staff for budget reasons, that’s when volunteers really stepped up,” says Andrée.

Munson now handles background checks and meetings with clients, which used to be handled by a full-time staffer. And when funding for a full-time mentorship position went away, a Kettle Run High School teacher gathered many of the school’s National Honor Society students and together, they committed to daily tutoring of the children at the Vint Hill temporary housing location.

Commitment to provide Fauquier residents with as much opportunity as possible drove Andrée and several local leaders to devise a way for eligible persons to collect aid available through

Andrée’s ‘where there is a will, there is a way’ mantra propels this non-profit full steam ahead when conquering large challenges. For example, operating costs for the buildings run highest during

“In our Vint Hill program last fiscal year, we served twenty-three Fauquier Families: seven extremely-low income, eight very-low income families, and four low-income families; along with four low-income support families - 33 adults and 57 children. We are currently serving sixteen families, which includes 19 adults and 29 children. There are five families at the extremely-low-income limit and seven at the verylow-income level; along with four low-income support families. Approximately 300 volunteers assisted in our programs last year.”

– Andrée Munson, Executive Director

the Federal Rapid Rehousing Program.

A group of representatives from local non-profits and service organizations, including the Department of Social Services, was established out of this desire to serve those in need of rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention funding. Known as the Foothills Housing Network Continuum of Care Group, meetings are held monthly out of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission office in Culpeper, and members review specific cases that may need additional funding. The group was able to service 74 households in the first half of 2015. The director points out that FFSS does not receive any of this funding directly, and all disbursements are handled through Social Services directly to the landlord.

cold and hot months, as illustrated by a $75,000 utilities expense in 2014. “The cost of propane is high, and when you factor in water and electric, this was the highest our costs have ever been,” says Munson. She adds a note of frugality, “There is no cable service, just the basic four or five local channels in the units that have a television.” FFSS received two grants last year to offset the utilities expenses, and its annual Gala fundraiser helped to significantly offset operating costs.

includes Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Fauquier and Orange counties (the other is a small 15-bed emergency facility in Culpeper County, that does not allow single men). In 2014, Fauquier Family Shelter Services – which is comprised of its transitional housing complex in Vint Hill and its temporary housing complex in Warrenton – housed a total of 317 people. The Warrenton facility has 52 twin beds, and the Vint Hill location has 24 3-bedroom/1.5 bath townhouses. Criteria for acceptance into their programs varies per facility, some of which is outlined here.

The Vint Hill transitional housing complex offers a 1-2 year program, which gives residents time to improve credit, hold down a job, and attend life skills classes offered by the non-profit.

Having a car as a means to get to and from work is a requirement. Thirty percent of income is collected as rent and meeting with a case manager for financial guidance weekly is required. Fifty dollars must be saved per month and put away in a savings account to allow for unexpected happenings or car repairs, and expenses such as car insurance are factored into residents’ monthly budgets.

The residents at the Warrenton 10

temporary housing facility are also required to attend weekly meetings with a case manager and are recommended to attend life skills courses such as budgeting, couponing, cooking, and resume writing. These courses are held at each facility location every Tuesday or Thursday evening. However, a resident in this facility is not required to have a job, or a car, and can stay up to 90 days, but they are asked to find a job within two weeks of checking-in.

Currently, there are four townhouses in Vint Hill that are available for placement. Each unit allows for up to six people. If you are a school counselor, social worker, are looking for temporary housing and have employment, or know someone that may benefit from this opportunity, please contact Andrée Munson at Fauquier Family Shelter Services at (540) 341-0299.

“The sense of community here is real,” says Andrée. A playroom for young children to play while parents take life skills courses in upstairs classrooms is part of the main complex at Vint Hill.

A computer lab with six computers for schoolwork, studying, and general support of tenants needs is open during the day and evenings. Andrée spends

her time between the two locations making sure all efforts are anchored and all needs are met.

Wonderful County Support, Keep it Coming “This county rocks!,” says Andrée.

Andrée is proud to share that Habitat for Humanity, and many local organizations such as Community Touch, Social Services and local churches are, “very involved in the support and success of our organization.” She points out that, “Recently, three families with young children were relocated from the shelter to Habitat homes in Warrenton,” and declares these great success stories.

“I just don’t know how to say thanks for the support we (FFSS) get from the County from individuals and organizations,” says Andrée. “We have one volunteer that asks for a list of every child’s birthday each year and makes sure a ‘birthday bag’ full of party items like cake mix and icing, candles, balloons, party hats and horns or decorations is delivered for each child at the transitional housing complex on their special day. There are 35-40 children there, so this is not a small undertaking.

This is just amazing.”

The Keith Street, Warrenton location is a spacious and welcoming location in town. Recently the residents received a freshly painted laundry room.

She adds that FFSS occasionally receives donations of new toys, shoes or clothing for children throughout the year and that these are saved for holidays and birthdays of the children that live at both shelters. “My hope is that every child will have a gift on their birthday,” says Andrée.

Perhaps the largest continual program established by volunteers has been a group of 12-13 local churches that have teamed up to organize assignments for each congregation to provide items such as garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, disinfecting wipes, and laundry detergent, to FFSS on a monthly basis.

Sue Smith, Shelter Coordinator for

Fauquier Family Shelter Services, says, “It is really genius, such a great idea.

These churches house the products for us and we don’t have a space issue – and then when the products are needed, we call and request a delivery. This helps us a lot!”

Just Like Us “Most of the families living in the Vint Hill Transitional Housing complex are single mothers with children,” says Andrée. She suggests that 87% of Americans are one paycheck away from poverty. “Many of our tenants have good jobs, they work in Town as waitresses, for local small businesses, and are good

contributing members of society. They may struggle with poor credit, medical bills or have had a string of unfortunate circumstances happen to them. Most of them are in this program for a short time and are then back on their feet again.”

FFSS offers life skills classes for its residents to help them progress through and out of their poverty and include topics such as budgeting tools, nutritional cooking, car repair, preparing for an interview and time management. “Everyone has a life skill to teach someone else, and everyone has a life skill to learn from someone else,” says Andrée.

Pickleball

Fauquier County’s Paddle Sport For All Ages & Levels

By Joyce Najjar Several years ago, a local resident named Morris Wheat, introduced a game called Pickleball to Warrenton and subsequently became the Pickleball “Ambassador-at-Large” to Fauquier County. Morris singlehandedly recruited, cajoled and encouraged adults in this area to get out there on the tennis courts and hit a whiffle ball with the paddle. A number of these folks had been fervent tennis or racquetball players, but due to various physical reasons, found Ralph Tapp, Morris Wheat, & Bob Najjar, Founders of the Auburn Pickleball group

that these games were a bit more demanding now that they were older.

Enter Pickleball!

Soon Morris had a mixture of dedicated men and women helping him spread the word. Many are still playing in Fauquier county and surrounding communities today.

Wheat now spends just the summer in Warrenton, so the organizational work is currently handled by Bob & Joyce Najjar, Ralph Tapp and Keith Gardner all of Warrenton.

The group started locally around 2007 on the tennis courts at Auburn Middle school on Riley Road. Maurice and company had to get on their hands and knees to chalk lines for pickleball each time they gathered to play. Eventually two of the courts got painted with blue lines for pickleball.

Now, thanks to the Fauquier Parks and Recreation Department, many devotees of the game also play on two indoor courts at the Vint Hill Community Center in the fall and winter.

WHAT IS PICKLEBALL? A fun paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels, pickleball combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.

It’s played on a 44-by-20-foot court and is similar to both tennis and badminton, with a few differences. A properly lined pickleball court takes up about half the space of a tennis court. In addition to the polymer ball (sizes vary but the standard is similar to a tennis ball), playing equipment includes solid-surface paddles about the size of those used in racquetball and a 34” to 36” high net, slightly lower from that in tennis. Games are generally up to 11 points (win by two) with scoring only by the service team — all serves are lobbed in.

Almost everyone can play the game after just a short time of hitting the ball back and forth across the net. However, it is also a sport where you can keep learning new strokes and increasingly sophisticated strategies for years on end.

Why it works for the over-50 crowd? It requires less running and puts less stress on joints. There's mental work in calling, (per the rules), your score, your opponent's score and the rotation. And everyone talks about the atmosphere of camaraderie.

Why's it great for families? The game requires just a short amount of Article by Joyce Najjar, member of the Pickleball group at Auburn Middle School

time to teach. Youngsters get a leg up on learning future racket sports.

Older family members can have full involvement.

The United States of America Pickleball Association (USAPA), currently estimates there are now over 400,000 players actively playing pickleball.

HISTORY OF THE GAME Pickleball was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, a short ferry ride from Seattle, WA. Three dads – Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum -whose kids were bored with their usual summertime activities are credited with creating the game after they couldn’t find a shuttlecock to play badminton and used a wiffle ball instead. Pickleball has evolved from original hand-made equipment and simple rules into a popular sport throughout the US and Canada.

Today the sport is played by people all across the U.S. and even in faraway places like Singapore and Kenya. The game is growing internationally as well with many European and Asian countries adding courts. As the sport

has grown in popularity it continues to be played in back yards, but it has also spawned many competitive tournaments across the country. In this state, Pickleball is included in the Virginia Senior Games.

So, are you ready to play? There is a warning however. Once you get hooked on Pickleball you will probably find that it is so much fun that you will “waste” hours each week laughing, improving your game and getting into better physical and mental shape.

If you’d like to give Pickleball a try or would like more information about the local game, email Bob at rnajjar@ comcast.net. You can also drop by Auburn Middle School, 7270 Riley Rd, Warrenton, VA on Mon & Wed evenings, from 6 – 8 p.m. and Saturday mornings, 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. (weather permitting) into the fall. No experience necessary, but some agility and eye/

hand coordination necessary.

Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy court sneakers. Bring water. Equipment is available to use and portable facilities are at the site. After the first visit, a one-time fee of $10 for the season will be charged for those wishing to continue to play.

History

Recalling Haymarket’s first “Piedmont” Prominent absentee ownership dated to Colonial times

by John Toler Long before the Piedmont community was established near Haymarket, there was a home of that name that dated back to the late 1700s. Today, the closest landmark to the site is the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad on U.S. 15.

The house at Piedmont was described in Prince William, the Story of Its Places and Its People (1941) as “…a low white frame house on a hill in full view of the mountains. A stalwart outside stone chimney tops the east end of the dormer-set gable roof, which extends out to cover a little veranda running the length of the house.”

Until the late 20th century, the house at Piedmont stood just to the southwest of the firehouse. But the historic value of the house at Piedmont itself is less significant than the story of the early families that owned it – but never lived there.

What became Piedmont was part of the large Bull Run Tract once held by Lewis Burwell, and adjoined the plantation later known as Oakland (See Haymarket Lifestyle, Oct. 2013). The tract amounted to about 1,400 acres, and was purchased

by Ralph Wormeley (1715-1790) of Rosegill Plantation in Middlesex County, Va. The property passed to Ralph’s son, James Wormeley (c. 1755-1830), a native Virginian but a British loyalist who went to England prior to the outbreak of the American Revolution. There, James joined the British Army, and became a captain in the Staffordshire Regiment, stationed at Windsor.

James was married to Ariana Randolph (1765-1794), the daughter of John Randolph (1728-1784), another loyalist who left Virginia for England before the war. While the loyalist sympathies of these branches of the Wormeley and Randolph families ran deep, it is remarkable that John was the brother Peyton Randolph (1721-1775), the first president of the Continental Congress; and the father of Edmund Randolph (1753-1813), who served as the governor of Virginia from 1786-1788, according to Prince William, the Story of Its Places and Its People.

Edmund Randolph was later appointed the first U.S. Attorney General, and the second U.S. Secretary of State.

with large chimneys. This burned down, but the main house was saved. There is only one large fireplace in the house, the others having been closed up.”

Homer S. Willie bought Piedmont in 1940. Mr. Willie sold the property, then up to 400 acres, to James Long Jr., of Bethesda, Md., who titled the property as Willie Properties Inc. In 1964, Miller & Long, a development company, purchased it and for several years, the open land was used for raising cattle, and the house rented out.

The tenants included Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Blackburn, who lived there in the late 1970s. During their tenancy, another survey was done by Frances Jones for the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission in 1979. The property received the designation “76-105.”

It was noted in the survey that the first floor rooms had 9 ½ foot ceilings, a large fireplace, four-panel doors and six-over-six windows. There was a center hallway with a winding staircase leading to the two upstairs rooms, which were of unequal height.

“The present tenant, Mrs. Blackburn, claims that the house once had a log kitchen wing, which was torn down and replaced with the present one-story kitchen,” according to the VHLC survey. “Mrs. Blackburn said that the present brick and stone chimney on the west end replaced a large stone chimney corresponding to that on the east end.”

Outbuildings included a large 20th century livestock barn, machinery barn, and several sheds.

Miller & Long donated property on U.S. 15 in front of Piedmont for the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, organized in 1977, and the firehouse was complete and operational the following year.

Not long afterward, the old house and outbuildings at Piedmont were demolished, the land cleared, and the Bull Run Country Club was established on the site.

A kitchen wing was added to the house at Piedmont in the 20th century, said to have replaced a much older log structure.

Green Maple Market Offers Wide Selection Of Organic and Healthy Food Options

By Christine Craddock

While Haymarket may not be currently found on a list of healthiest places in the DC area, it may not be far from the future. The availability of restaurants and markets offering healthier options for food, including organic, non-gmo, and chemical free produce and meats seems to be growing rapidly. Adding to the list is Katherine Fuerst Holster who officially opened Green Maple Market for business on May 15th in Vint Hill.

“We believe that what is good for the earth is good for our bodies too” is the mantra Holster uses to run her market. With the goal of making “farm fresh, healthy, wholesome, local foods easily accessible to our community and surrounding area,” Holster accomplishes this by purchasing from local farmers who raise animals in a way that is all natural, free-range

24

and pasture raised without added hormones or antibiotics.

Holster believes deeply that “we all have a responsibility to be good stewards of the land we’ve inherited and to protect it for future generations.” Also, by purchasing from our local farmers, we are supporting those who use “earthfriendly, sustainable farming practices” to protect land that is used for food production. Holster eventually hopes that by supporting farmers, more and more young people will turn to this profession and serve to bring it back into popularity for future generations.

But Green Maple Market is not Holster’s first venture in owning a farm market. During her tenure at Virginia Tech, she offered fresh organic produce at a small farmer’s market underneath a maple tree. The Maple Tree Market,

Katherine Fuerst Holster, Owner

as it was named, served to give her a first experience in providing a service she felt passionate about to the community. Years later, Holster opened Countryside Farm Market in Amissville when her children were little but went back to the workforce for the security of a full-time job.

However, her passion and desire to own a fresh market did not fade as the years went by. When she learned that her grandfather, who died a month before she was born, had opened a grocery shop in 1937 when he came to America named “Green Tree Market,” she was touched by this shared interest. Green Maple Market was so named in honor of her grandfather’s and her own dreams coming to pass.

“I didn’t choose Vint Hill; Vint Hill chose me,” says Holster about the decision to locate the market

Broad Run Lifestyle

in an area that is thriving as a new destination spot for both locals and travelers. Ed Moore, Vint Hill President and Julie Broaddus, who owns Old Bust Head Brewing Company with her husband, had already envisioned the building where the market now stands serving this purpose so the conversations flowed immediately. The market contributes to Vint Hill’s ‘buy fresh, buy local’ theme and is located in an area where Holster says “consumers are starved for healthier food choices.”

Holster envisions an expansion

of the market for the future but for now, her focus is on “bringing the best products to market” that she is able to find for her customers.

Green Maple Market is located at 7172 Lineweaver Road in Vint Hill, between Old Bust Head Brewing Company and Vint Hill Wine Craft.

All Rise For The Flatbread

By Rebekah Grier I can’t remember the first time I had a flatbread. It was probably somewhere like a T.G.I. Fridays when I was in my late teens and honestly not that spectacular. And now I can’t help thinking about flatbread without hearing comedian Iliza Shlesinger’s nasally valley-girl voice in my head, “You wanna flatbread? It’s like a thin crust pizza but annoying.”

How wrong she is! Despite Iliza’s opinion of flatbread, flatbreads are one of my new obsessions. You can top it with absolutely whatever you want. It’s basically a blank carb canvas awaiting your broad strokes of culinary genius. And if you like making your own dough (like me) but are impatient for all the time it takes for pizza dough 28

to rise (also like me), just make a flatbread! Some flatbread dough recipes give a small amount of rise time, and some don’t have any at all – I think either option works well.

My recent obsession with flatbread started a couple weeks ago when my hubby was away for a few days. Almost as soon as Seth was out of the door, I rushed to the grocery store and bought my fill of asparagus, one of my favorite vegetables even if he despises those little green stalks. Wanting to try a new recipe instead of my typical baking method, I went to Pinterest and had an epiphany. I could enjoy my vegetables AND trick my brain into thinking I was eating pizza all while consuming fewer calories. WIN.

Eating that first homemade asparagus flatbread while bingewatching BBC murder mysteries on Netflix was so delicious. Not having to share any of it was even better.

A week or two later I did make a flatbread the two of us could share.

It had bacon so Seth would eat it and I snuck in a bit of kale for extra nutrition. Having made an extra batch of dough, however, led me to do some experimenting.

I came back to the asparagus because it was so yummy, but get creative and try a mixture of your own toppings. You almost can’t go wrong. I am now brainstorming dessert flatbreads. Calories will not be counted. (Recipe follows:) Broad Run Lifestyle

flatbread Caramelized Onion, Asparagus and Roasted Eggplant Flatbread Makes 1 flatbread (serves 2) INGREDIENTS: The Dough (makes 4 flatbreads): 1 package or 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast 1 ½ cups warm water 1 teaspoon salt 3 ½ to 4 cups flour The Toppings: 1 bunch of asparagus, about 2 cups, trimmed and cut into thirds 1 medium eggplant, about 2 cups, sliced into thin rounds ½ a large sweet onion, sliced 1 cup mozzarella (grated or if using fresh, sliced into rounds) ½ cup Parmesan 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (pesto would also work) Olive oil Salt and pepper to taste

Make the dough. In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, salt and olive oil. Let stand until bubbles begin to form (about 5 minutes).

Gradually add in flour, mixing with one hand, until dough has formed (start with 3 ½ cups of flour, add more if dough is too wet).

Knead dough on floured surface until no longer sticky, adding more flour if needed (about 5 to 10 minutes).

Place the dough ball into a fresh bowl and coat with oil, about 1 tablespoon. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise (about 35 – 45 minutes) while prepping other ingredients.

When the dough is finished rising, punch down and divide into four portions (bag and freeze the other 3 if not using immediately).

Preheat oven to 375°. Toss eggplant lightly with olive oil, about 1 tablespoon. Arrange evenly on a baking sheet and salt lightly. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until eggplant is nicely browned.

While the eggplant is roasting, heat 2

tablespoons of olive oil in skillet. Toss in onions and sprinkle with salt. Mix to coat with oil and cook on medium for about 5 minutes – the onions should start to soften and become golden brown. (Tip: Don’t stir too often) 6. Add the asparagus to the onions and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes or until the onions have finished caramelizing and the asparagus is bright green and tender. Remove from heat.

7. If eggplant is done roasting. Remove from oven and turn temperature up to 450°. Set eggplant aside.

8. Returning to your floured surface, use one portion of the flatbread dough and roll out with a rolling pin until it is about 13” by 7”. Place on lightly greased baking sheet.

ROAD RENAMING IN VINT HILL Elevates the Property’s Commitment to Preserving History and Heritage

Vint Hill, Virginia — Efforts to improve Vint Hill while honoring its rich heritage are taking another step forward, with the introduction of Farm Station Road as the new name for the soon-to-be-renovated and extended Watson Road.

The new designation pays tribute to the property’s recent history as Vint Hill Farms Station army base as well as its early years as a horse and cattle farm. The renaming is part of a broader effort to improve the property and its infrastructure.

“We’re encouraged by the feedback we are getting from the community about Vint Hill’s progress,” said Ed Moore, president of Vint Hill Village LLC. “While steps like renaming roads to reflect the property’s past may seem small, they are part of a broader vision to help create a place with the right mix of new features and touches that respect its heritage."

The new Farm Station Road signs are slated to be installed the week of June 29, 2015. Work on improving the road is scheduled to begin this fall and last 9 months.
