Cameron Webb had just completed his medical and law degrees when he was accepted as a one-year White House fellow in President Barack Obama’s administration. Webb, who had never before worked in political circles, said he “decided to take a leap of faith.”

Prissylily Co. debuts world of living green Old Town shop showcases unique house and office plants

By John Hagarty

Special to the Fauquier Times

On Sept. 26, Prissylily Co. swung open its garden gate and launched a botanical garden-like shop in Warrenton. The timing could not have been better.

Sales of house and office plants have soared during COVID-19 and for a good reason. There is ample scientific evidence that such plants reduce stress. The therapeutic effects of caring for plants can even lower blood pressure.

The “plant doctor” overseeing these benefits is a young entrepreneur whose passion for plants dates to three years ago. Priscilla Aviles, 27, and her hard-to-contain joy in See PRISSYLILY, page 9

Fauquier County schools will offer some in-person learning beginning Nov. 9

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Fauquier High School’s cafeteria exploded with applause Sept. 23 night after the school board voted to commence on Nov. 9 a hybrid instruction model that will include some in-person teaching. Fauquier County schools opened Aug. 24

with an all-virtual learning model due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 40 or so people in the audience Sept. 23, some wearing “Go for the Green” shirts proclaiming their desire for in-person instruction, seemed pleased with the proposed move away from 100% virtual learning.

Katie Ralls, who was one of more

than 20 parents and students who spoke during Citizens Time at the Sept. 14 school board meeting, said “I’m tickled pink.”

Donna Rosamond was all smiles after Wednesday’s vote. “I’m very happy,” she beamed. She was one of the organizers of last week’s rally calling for the school board to reSee SCHOOL BOARD, page 7

At the beginning of last week’s meeting, School Board member Donna Grove (Cedar Run District) asked that staff come up with a plan

Love conquers all – even COVID

By Leah P.

Special to the Fauquier Times

“When it’s right, you will just know.” I had heard that phrase too many times. The giddy person in front of me was telling me about how they met “the one.” I refrained from eye rolling, with difficulty. After a few attempts at love, I was not so sure that it would be this slap-in-the-face, obvious revelation that everyone talked about.

But then I met Chris.

Chris P. was tall, handsome, a U.S. Marine veteran, polite and well …. taken. I had just started a new job in the Haymarket Emergency Department [Novant Health UVA Haymarket Medical Center] and he was in nursing school and working as a technician.

Fast forward three months. Chris was now single. I was still single. The romance began one day while working side by side. Chris admired my quick nursing skills (we cared for a burn patient together, providing quick interventions and pain relief), nervous inability to stop talking, love for my family and dedication to my church.

I gave him the time of day because he talked about sitting down and having dinner with his parents at 5:30 p.m., no phones allowed, and helping them with car and yard work.

In May of 2019, we finally expressed our feelings to one another. Pizza and a long walk turned into meeting my family (30-plus people) on the second date.

That’s when I heard those words once again, “When it’s right, you will just know.” And boy did I ever! Not only did I know, but so did my family.

After that it was bliss. Chris and I worked side

Chris and Leah P. dance on their wedding day in the pavilion built for the occasion. by side, he graduated nursing school, we attended church, ran the young adult group at St. Patrick Orthodox Church in Fauquier County, hiked and continued to grow as a couple. By December 2019 we were engaged, and the wedding plans progressed.

Then COVID-19 happened. Being in the health care field, we were on the front lines. To say that at first it wasn’t scary would be a lie. I moved out of my house because my father has cancer and I moved in with my sister. Together Chris and I stayed up to date on PPE requirements, transmission and signs/symptoms of this ever-changing virus. Our work days included a lot of wiping down, changing clothes at work and cracked hands due to the excessive handwashing. There was a lot of uncertainty.

But with strength not our own, and becoming more educated about the virus, we were able to stay strong and safe. We continued with wedding plans. Chris was very confident that “all would work out.” I, on the other hand, could not help but wonder if we would even be having a wedding.

As weeks and months passed, Chris and I grew, confidently knowing that the only thing that mattered was saying “I will.” In the state of Virginia, the governor had issued phases, each one indicating safety

At last it came, Phase 3. Our families had stayed healthy, safe, and we thanked God for his blessings.

I was able to move back home with my sisters and parents to finalize wedding plans. Chris’s brother and sister flew in from California and his 93-year-old grandfather was brought down from Pennsylvania.

The week of the wedding. Chris and I were very busy but loving every minute. There was so much to do. We, with help from our families, built a pavilion on our 104-acre-farm in Fauquier County to have the wedding rehearsal. What a crazy time.

Tuesday: My cousin called to say that his wife (one of my bridesmaids) was not feeling well and got tested; she was positive.

Wednesday: Three of my sisters were positive, along with many other cousins. With the support of our families, we knew what we had to do.

Chris and I sent our love and an email out to all of our guests: “We will be canceling the celebration but continue to ask for your prayers, we are still saying our vows and getting married.”

On Saturday, July 11, Chris and I said our vows, exchanged rings and I become Leah P. My sister Mary (who tested negative), along with a few other family members surprised us with a live first dance song. Our families circled the yard in their cars as we danced in the middle on a white sheet showered with petals.

I was never a pretty crier, but being surrounded by the ones you love (even from their cars) and looking up to the one you have given your heart to, tears were the best way that I could express my sheer joy.

It was not how we planned, but plans are meant to be changed, and our story will be a memory we can share and fondly look back on.

‘History’ and ‘community’ common themes for park’s next incarnation

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Warrenton’s Haiti Street residents had the opportunity Saturday to weigh in the future of Eva Walker Park, which borders their neighborhood; town officials organized an event to solicit ideas from residents about what improvements they’d like to see. Haiti Street residents were invited to come to the park from 10 a.m. to noon and other town residents came by from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Some used the opportunity to remember the park’s namesake. Christine Lewis grew up on Haiti Street in the 1950s; Eva Walker and her husband Robert moved into the neighborhood when she was 6 years old.

“She was like family,” said Lewis about Eva Walker. “She was an activist, a liaison between people in the community and the town. When things went wrong in the community, something racial for instance, she would do something about it.”

Lewis continued, “She was very sweet, loving lady, and she loved Haiti. She was very involved in the schools.”

Lewis said that her aunt, Callie Bumbray, and Eva Walker started the Majorettes club for girls; they marched in local parades. “We were segregated back then.”

“Everyone knew Miss Eva and Aunt Callie,” said Lewis. Eva Walker operated a beauty salon from her home. “She drew a lot of people from all over,” said Lewis.

Project details

Mike Logan remembers Eva Walker, too. He was about 8 or 9 years old when she passed away in 1982; she was only 48. “She used to watch us at the bus stop every day.”

Logan also remembers being in the fashion shows that Walker held every year. A DJ now, he said he got his start in music in the Walkers’ basement.

He remembered that every year, Eva Walker would organize a huge festival for the neighborhood, with horses for the kids to ride, carnival games.

“Everyone would come together.”

Logan described Eva Walker as a godparent to everyone. “When it came to make action happen, she stood for the community, she got folks organized. Fauquier wasn’t always a positive place for people like me. There were obstacles.”

Tim Carter said Eva Walker’s husband, Robert – who still lives in the neighborhood – wanted the kids to be able to play in the park during the day and be able to get something to drink when they were thirsty. “He put a soda machine at the back of his house.”

Carter said he didn’t know that when he was on patrol one night and saw someone hanging out behind Walker’s home. “Mr. Walker came out and said, ‘no, no, it’s OK,’ and he explained about the soda machine.”

Carter said he’d often drive down to Haiti and talk to Walker on his porch.

Carter laughed and said he discovered years later that one of the Walkers’ daughters was his second-grade teacher. “She was my favorite teacher ever.”

Lewis said the Walkers also had a soda machine in their basement – and a pingpong table and a juke box.

“It was a very inviting place to all the local kids.”

Lewis would like Eva Walker Park’s next iteration to have a historical element. “We could incorporate places where people could come together and learn about the history – not just about Eva Walker, but also about the history of the community.”

From the pavilion near the park’s Alexandria Pike entrance, Lewis pointed to the other end of the park. “The section of the park near the Horner Street entrance isn’t being used much.

It could be placed down there.”

There was discussion of a commemorative garden to honor Eva Walker, or perhaps steppingstones engraved with the names of import-

ant neighborhood residents. Town Councilman Renard Carlos (at large) suggested that perhaps benches – sponsored by local businesses or community members -- could be placed along walkways Bill Semple, town councilman from Ward 2, would like to see a pavilion suitable for community concerts.

Darryl Neher, director of Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, is on the town’s advisory committee about the park. He said that he is “really interested to see what the community comes up with. At center, I’d like to see it made into a place where the community can gather.” He said accessibility is an important consideration. He pointed to the steps at the Alexandria Pike entrance, and said, “It needs to be inviting. It needs to be accessible for all.”

Neher added that the historical significance is important. “People are talking here today about memories that are three or four decades old.”

“A park is more than just a pavilion,” he said. “How do we create an environment that draws people in?”

On one of the Post-it notes pasted on displays provided by the town of Warrenton, someone wrote “A new soda machine, affordable, like Mr. [Robert] Walker’s in the back of his home!!”

That got Warrenton planning manager Denise Harris thinking outside the box: “Maybe we could use that as the way to share historical information. People could press a button on the soda machine and hear about the history!”

Webb said his dream of becoming a doctor began at the age of 5 when his family’s primary care doctor – a young, African American man named Dr. Timothy Yarborough— encouraged him to dream big. “In the mentorship space we say, ‘you can’t be what you don’t see,’ and that was so important. I think it really made a difference.”

By the time Webb reached the University of Virginia as an undergraduate pre-med student in 2001,

he was already looking forward to serving his community as a doctor.

Xavier Richardson, 63, a family friend, said he got to know Webb through church and saw him “as someone who knew early that he wanted to serve others,” said Richardson. “He believes he has an obligation to society to give back.”

Richardson, senior vice president and chief development officer of Mary Washington Healthcare, is also the president of the Mary Washington Hospital Foundation and Stafford Hospital Foundation.

Webb said that his eyes were opened during a first-year anthropology class at UVA when a young, Black UVA family doctor named Dr. Norman Oliver gave a seminar about health disparities based on race and ethnicity.

Webb stresses importance of testing for COVID-19

On an overcast Saturday afternoon in Danville, 5th Congressional District candidate Cameron Webb addressed a lively crowd of nearly 200 at a Danville NAACP event, one of several campaign stops he would make in the region that day.

Webb joined local and state elected officials in speaking at the event, including state Sen. Jennifer McClellan, D-9th, who is running for governor in 2021. It was held on the basketball courts at Westmoreland playground.

Free coronavirus testing was offered by a local clinic to those in attendance.

Webb, a practicing physician who works on the coronavirus unit at the University of Virginia Health System, encouraged everyone at the event to get a test.

“There is one path for us through this pandemic, and that path is through science,” Webb said. “If you’re feeling short of breath, you need to get tested. If you feel like you’ve been exposed to someone that’s been coughing or had a fever, you need to get tested.”

Webb added that “getting tested is a key to keeping our community safe.”

Webb entered the congressional race in August of 2019. He beat three contenders in the Democratic primary. Now, he hopes to be the first Democrat in more than a decade to represent the 5th District.

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner and his Republican challenger, Daniel Gade, participated in the first debate of the campaign Sept. 23. The hour-long debate was moderated by Chuck Todd, of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and broadcast on NBC affiliate stations. Topics of discussion included the federal government’s response to the pandemic, health care, police reform, racial justice and immigration policy.

During the debate, Warner leaned heavily on his background in business and talked at length about “investing” in law enforcement officers, minority-owned small businesses and internet technologies. “I spent 25 years here in Virginia in business creating jobs,” he said in his opening statement. “I then went into public service because I wanted to get stuff done.” He touted the 55 bills he has sponsored or co-sponsored that have become law, “laws that cut red tape for small businesses, laws that improved our ship building businesses in Hampton Roads.”

Gade came out aggressively against Warner, repeatedly calling him a “career politician” and claiming he has changed his position on several issues. “I’m a career servant with a mortgage and the everyday worries of middle-class life,” Gade said in his own opening statement.

“Mark is a career partisan who made millions off of political handouts. If you’re sick of career politicians, let’s choose a different path” The two men found some common ground, especially on law enforcement and immigration policy.

Both Warner and Gade strongly rejected “defunding the police” but acknowledged some policing reform is needed, though they disagreed on some of the details. On immigration policy, both men said they support extending the Temporary Protected Status program and increasing the number of H-1B visas.

On health care, the candidates both agreed that people with preex-

isting health conditions should be able to purchase health insurance.

Warner defended the 2010 Affordable Care Act, claiming it was not perfect but that it had improved access to health care for millions of people. Gade did not defend the law but emphasized repeatedly the importance of maintaining access to the health care market for those with preexisting conditions.

The conversation around the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic toed closely to party lines. Warner criticized the administration of President Donald Trump for not implementing national standards and procedures for responding to the pandemic. Gade declined to criticize the president directly and had harsh words for Warner and his recent vote against a Republican-backed stimulus bill.

On race and racism, Warner and Gade also differed. Warner was quick to affirm that “systemic racism” exists and pivoted to talking about the economic barriers, like lack of access to capital, that in his view contribute to racial inequality.

Gade said that “pockets of racism” exist in the United States, and that “updating their attitudes” is the best way to combat that racism. Both candidates condemned ideologically driven violence.

Fauquier County schools will offer some in-person learning beginning Nov. 9 SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1 back our little guys as soon as possible,” she said.

Superintendent of Schools David Jeck said Wednesday that administrators responded with a proposal that was “more aggressive” than the school board requested. “We asked ourselves, if we can bring back K-2 or K-5 students, what is the reason we can’t bring back K-12? We didn’t have a good answer.”

The proposal revealed Wednesday gives all students the option of returning to school. The key to the plan is 900 desktop cameras that will allow in-classroom teachers to livestream lessons to children who choose to continue virtual learning.

The cameras ($100 each) and wireless mics ($35 each) will cost the school district $118,000. Director of Technology Services Louis McDonald is optimistic that he can secure the cameras and mics and train teachers on how to use them before Nov. 9.

The cameras plug into the teachers’ laptops so the video feed can go out to homebound students. The microphones have six-hour lithium batteries. McDonald said he tried out the video feed during Wednesday’s school board meeting and was pleased with the quality.

The cameras would be focused on the teacher at his or her desk, to preserve privacy for the students in the classroom. If a teacher leaves her desk to help individual students, virtual students would be given work to do while their teacher is off-camera.

In the hybrid model explained by Jeck, half of students who choose in-person learning would attend school Monday and Tuesday. The other half would receive in-person instruction Thursday and Friday. On the days students are not in the classroom, they would have assignments to complete.

Wednesdays would be reserved for teacher planning and training and instructors would also offer office hours.

A new look at July’s reopening plan

It’s a plan that is largely the same one school administrators proposed in July. That framework was declared unworkable because of “insurmountable” workforce shortages. There were not enough dedicated virtual learning instructors, bus drivers, school nurses and substitute teachers to make it work.

The difference this time is that instead of having to utilize separate virtual-only teachers, students learning at home would receive their synchronistic lessons directly from their teachers, via livestream, at the same time their in-person classmates are learning.

Spotty or non-existent internet service will continue to be a barrier for some learning at home, Deputy Superintendent for Instruction Major Warner acknowledged. But he pointed out that virtual students would have two opportunities each

week to catch their teachers on livestream, since the same lessons would be taught Monday and Tuesday, and again on Thursday and Friday.

“It’s not perfect,” he said, but administrators will continue to work to improve the model.

Jeck said that the new approach solves an important aspect of the workforce shortage. He pointed out that the district is still lacking bus drivers, but because 25% of parents have said (in a survey earlier this summer) they would be willing to drive their children to school, he believes it can work.

Jeck said that another short survey will be sent out to parents, asking whether their child will be coming to school and if can they provide transportation for their child.

“If 4% of parents say they can transport to school, we are going to have a problem. If 25% of parents can bring their kids to school, we’ll be OK,” said Jeck.

The school nurse shortage has been solved, said Jeck; every school will have a nurse. The big issue that remains, he said, is substitute teachers. Even though the school board voted to raise the daily pay for substitutes to $100 or $150 (for experienced certified teachers), Fauquier County has fewer than 100 substitutes on the rolls. Jeck said that about 15 substitutes are ready to graduate from “substitute school,” but “when it comes to manpower worries, substitutes are at the top of the list.”

Jeck said, “We are really going to need substitutes. The problem is not insurmountable. If we had 50 or 60 more people, we’d be in good shape.”

Before the end of the meeting, school board member Duke Bland (Marshall District) addressed anyone in the audience who might be able to work as a substitute. “Folks, we are in desperate need of substitutes. Help us out.”

Safety measures

In order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus once schools begin welcoming students, everyone will be required to wear masks on buses and in school buildings. Classrooms will have fewer desks and every attempt will be made to keep everyone 6 feet apart.

Parents will be asked to screen their children every morning before school to make sure they seem healthy. April Achter, public health epidemiologist for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, pointed out when parents note a child’s congestion or cough, they should consider whether the symptoms are unusual for the child.

If a child has allergies, for instance, congestion might be typical for that child and not a potential symptom of COVID. If there are new symptoms, those would be immediate exclusions, said Achter.

She said that in the health district, four of five counties have schools that are offering in-person instruction. “We have had great success so far mitigating effects.”

Technology shortages, meal distribution, sports updates

7

Chromebooks that have been ordered but not received yet by the school division are “trickling in,” said Superintendent David Jeck.

Director of Technology Services Louis McDonald said he is hopeful that the 7,400 Chromebooks the district is waiting for could arrive soon. Families with multiple students have been sharing devices thus far because there have not been enough devices for every student. That problem should be solved when the long-awaited Chromebooks arrive, said Jeck.

Meal distribution that has

been going on since March will continue for all students studying virtually. Meals can be picked up at designated locations or at local schools. School nutrition workers will feed children when they are in the schools on their in-person learning days. Students will have lunch either in their school’s cafeteria or in classrooms, depending on whether the cafeteria is large enough to maintain social distancing.

The Virginia High School League will begin allowing games for the fall season in December. Practices for the shortened seasons will commence soon, said school board member Suzanne Sloane (Scott District).

Neither health experts from the Virginia Department of Health nor school administrators have illusions about the risks of opening schools to students. Achter and Jeck both said that they expect to see cases, they expect to see outbreaks, and there could be closures.

When cases arise, said Achter, each situation will be evaluated carefully to consider the best course of action. Achter explained that if a teacher and a student both presented with COVID-19 symptoms on the first day of school, it would be obvious that the exposure could not have happened in school. If the same situation were to arise after a couple weeks of school, the approach might be very different. A combination of contract tracing, an evaluation of who the infected individuals spent time with, quarantining and/or test-

ing would be undertaken depending on each situation.

In some cases, a few children might have to be quarantined, in others, a whole class or bus route might have to be isolated. “It’s not the answer you want,” said Achter, “but it all depends.”

School Board member Stephanie Litter-Reber (Lee District) said that although she was pleased that children could begin attending school again, she was concerned about safety for teachers and students. “I just would like to be sure that safety considerations are at the top of everyone’s priority list.”

Bland said he was concerned when he had heard that the hybrid model could start at the end of October. “I didn’t see how we could do that but starting after Election Day seemed like a better idea.”

Political newcomer Cameron Webb looks beyond party in 5th District bid 5TH DISTRICT, from page 5 chief operating officer of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Virginia.

“Leadership has always been a part of what Cameron does,” Woods said.

“I think that no one is surprised that he is still engaged and seeking out leadership roles, but also seeking out how to help as many people as possible beyond the frontlines with his voice.”

‘Faith was a starting point’

But even after medical school, law school and a job working for the White House health care team, Webb said it wasn’t an easy decision to step into the political arena. He said he looked to his Christian faith and mentors in the church to help him “dig deep on why I’m doing this and why this is on my heart.”

“My faith was a starting point for this race because I was adamant about saying, ‘I’m not going to run for Congress just to glorify myself.’ So, unless this is part of my purpose and how I’m meant to serve people, I’m not interested in doing it,” Webb said.

Webb said he turned to his fatherin-law and mentor Alfred Jones, a retired pastor and current Appomattox County School Board member, for advice. Jones said he first heard that Webb was contemplating entering politics about a year and a half ago.

“He told me that he was praying about it and he asked me if I would

pray along with him about making that decision,” Jones said.

As an elected official himself, Jones said he shared some advice with Webb.

But he added that running for school board and running for Congress is like “comparing apples and oranges.”

“The advice I shared with him was to really let people know in the 5th District that your plan is to represent everybody, not just Democrats, not just Republicans, not just Independents,” Jones said. “And I think that’s really his goal, his objective is to represent the whole 5th District.”

Webb said his experience in the medical field, treating patients from all walks of life, has put him in a unique position to work across the aisle. As a physician, Webb said he doesn’t pick and choose his patients, but every patient is given the highest level of care.

“If we translate that into our politics.

If we really move toward putting the people of our district over our partisan politics, then we get real service in the 5th Congressional District,” Webb said.

Amidst the partisan toxicity in Washington D.C., he sees an opportunity to be “a healer.”

“I think one of the paths forward, to get beyond that, is to elect folks who are passionate about working with people who see the world differently than them,” Webb said. “And I think we have an opportunity to do that.”

Fauquier County schools launches COVID-19 dashboard

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Public Schools COVID-19 dashboard has launched. On Sept. 25 it showed that there was one positive case at the school division’s central offices and one positive case at Fauquier High School. The date listed for both is Sept. 24.

The dashboard was created, said Superintendent of Schools David Jeck at a Sept. 23 School Board meeting, to provide transparent, upto-date information about positive confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the school division.

The data provided will be limited to the location (the school or central office), the number of cases and the date the case was reported. The dashboard does not have separate columns for children and adults, just one slot for "confirmed positives."

School spokeswoman Tara Donaldson said that cases in children and adults will not be listed separately, but "Once students are back on Nov. 9, we may decide to break it out."

At least at the start, the dashboard will report a cumulative count of total cases beginning from Sept. 24 and going forward.

Last week, there were six positive cases confirmed in Building B of the

Fauquier County Schools’ COVID-19 dashboard Central Office Complex. It was not considered an “outbreak” by the Virginia Department of Health because the tests taken by those affected were rapid tests, not PCR tests.

There was one outbreak at Bradley Elementary School that involved three staff members, announced on Aug. 6.

On Aug. 17, the school division confirmed one case at Coleman Elementary; one case at Fauquier High was confirmed on Aug. 25.

None of those cases are included on the dashboard.

Old Town shop showcases unique house and office plants See PRISSYLILY, page 8 growing and gifting plants to family and friends led to the shop’s opening; it’s located at 30 S. Third St. Initially, the company was created in 2013 as an online retailer of apparel and sunglasses. But soon, Aviles’ passion for plants took root and gave birth to a shift from the hyper-competitive field of apparel sales to a niche business where her expertise could be brought to bear.

Aviles’ joy in growing plants became the center of her life. “I began propagating them and creating more and more. I started giving them away to friends and family. Some might say I overdid it because I was getting comments like, ‘OK Priscilla, we have enough plants!’” said Aviles, laughing.

That’s when her entrepreneurial streak struck green. In 2018, she launched plant sales on both Etsy and her apparel website. From the initial choice of six plants, the business evolved and broadened to include even rare and collector plants.

Aviles quickly recognized the strategy shift had opened up a new customer base. A lot of her buyers were from the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. An increasing number began asking if she had a shop or a greenhouse to come to and buy the plants.

The move to a brick and mortar business was driven by listening to her customers. She found the location in Old Town and “jumped at the opportunity to open a store.”

Her successful life in plants is paralleling her personal life. She was engaged to be married in July, but COVID-19 postponed the ceremony. She and her fiancé, Joseph Rose, independently own townhouses that are now on the market because they have jointly purchased a home in Warrenton. As a future married woman, the surname Rose will be fitting for a purveyor of plants.

Her assistant in the shop is Molly, who is also Aviles’ future sister-in-law.

In addition to the shop, Aviles still sells online and through Esty.

The product line for all three venues includes plants, apparel, sunglasses

Prissylily’s Collector’s Corner features some rare and exotic plants. and more. But the heart of the business is indoor plants.

Stock in trade

As you enter the Prissylily Co., your eye will sweep across a landscape of more than 100 plants.

Asked what a shopper might typically find, Aviles’ immediate response is, “Beautiful plants!” Of course.

That beauty includes plants with intriguing names such as the Burle Marx Philodendron, Staghorn Fern, Starfish, Snake, Dwarf Fiddle Leaf, Africa Mask Peacock, Corkscrew, Black Jade Birds Nest, Samurai Draft, various cactuses, and more. Rare and collector plants come from Thailand and other points worldwide.

Prices range from $20 for the common variety plants up to $1,500 for collectibles like the Monstera Albo Variegated. Exotics and collectibles may not always be in stock.

In addition to in-store sales, the company also sells office plants with maintenance contracts for those who have “black thumbs.” Office plants bring the beauty of nature indoors, increase productivity, boost creativity and provide a wow factor to what otherwise could be a dreary office environment.

Aviles takes a holistic approach in creating an interior plant office plan that meets space and budgetary needs. The process begins with

a free on-site consultation; she then develops a customized proposal to ensure the plants' survival.

The service includes fast and clean installation as well as maintenance packages if desired.

All shop plant sales come with care instructions. Consideration is being given to conducting classes on plant care, repotting, and more, so customers can better care for their purchases.

Aviles’ advice to anyone considering striking out on their own is, “If it’s something you are passionate about and love, then you should go for it. Because then it doesn’t feel like work. I get excited to come in every day and see how my plants are

Jury duty scam took more than $10,000 from Fauquier residents this summer Approximately $10,200 was defrauded from several Fauquier County residents over the summer in a jury duty scam, according to several search warrant affidavits received by the clerk’s office Sept. 21. At least one individual called multiple county residents and claimed to represent the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office; the scammer told residents they must pay “fines” to avoid arrest.

On at least one occasion the person calling from one of the phone numbers threatened to kill and sexually assault a resident if they did not pay, the affidavit said.

The investigation into the scam is ongoing and there are no suspects in the case, a sheriff’s office representative said Monday. There are five “active cases” related to the incidents, he said, and

confirmed approximately $10,200 was taken from county residents. The office has received no reports of the scam since early August.

The sheriff’s office released a statement July 6 warning of the scam. “If you a receive a call from someone saying they are from the sheriff’s office and you failed to report for jury duty, it is a scam,” a Facebook post said at the time. “The caller will attempt to extort money from you, possibly in the form of gift cards. This is a scam.”

A search warrant affidavit dated Aug. 6 said, in addition to one specific instance in which a county resident handed over $1,200 to the scammers, “several other [Fauquier County] citizens reported similar contacts [from the three phone numbers] and surrendered more than $9,000 to the fraud.”

Residents who received the calls were told they were wanted for failure to appear for jury duty or

that they had outstanding arrest warrants and that paying a fine was the only way to avoid going to jail. The victims of the scam sent the money “believing they were sending the money to FCSO,” the affidavits said.

The phone numbers listed in the affidavits as the source of the scam calls all used the 540 area code and the 316 exchange prefix, which is associated with Warrenton. According to the Aug. 6 affidavit, the numbers were issued by Grasshopper, a “virtual” phone service that advertises the sale of “virtual local phone numbers” on its website.

As of Sept. 25, an automated message said the numbers were “no longer in service” when dialed.

Residents who have received suspicious calls are asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 540-3473300.

Two killed, four seriously injured in head-on collision Monday A head-on, two-vehicle crash on near Remington Monday afternoon killed two people and seriously injured four others, according to Virginia State Police. The crash occurred on Freemans Ford Road close to the intersection with Fox Groves Road just before 3 p.m. Monday. Criminal charges were pending as of Tuesday morning.

Kathya Alfaro-Fuentes, 19, of Warrenton, and Jamal Lambert, 20, of Bealeton, died at the scene of the crash, according to a Tuesday morning press release. Additionally, two people suffered “life-threatening” injures and two other people suf-

fered “serious” injuries. The injured individuals were airlifted to INOVA Fairfax Hospital for treatment.

The press release said Savion Rojas-Smith, 19, of Remington, was driving a 2016 Ford Fusion west on Freemans Ford Road “at a high rate of speed” when the vehicle crossed the double solid yellow center line to pass a vehicle in front of it. The Ford then collided head-on with an eastbound 2013 Honda Accord. The Ford then “continued off the left side of the roadway and overturned several times before it came to rest.”

Rojas-Smith was not wearing a seat belt and was seriously injured.

Alfaro-Fuentes, who was wearing a seat belt, and Lambert, who was not wearing a seat belt, were both passengers of the Ford.

According to court records, Rojas-Smith had three pending traffic-related charges against him at the time of Monday’s crash. He was cited Aug. 7 in Prince William County for reckless driving and a motorcycle learner’s permit violation; he is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 23 on those charges.

On Sept. 22 he was cited for speeding in Fairfax County, and is scheduled for a court hearing Nov. 16.

The Honda was driven by a 44-year-old Marshall woman who

was seriously injured. The vehicle’s two passengers, a 48-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy, both suffered life threatening injuries in the crash.

Each of the occupants of the Honda were wearing seatbelts.

Virginia State Police Culpeper Division Crash Reconstruction Team responded to the scene and is assisting with the ongoing crash investigation. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, the Fauquier County Department of Fire Rescue & Emergency Management and the Virginia Department of Transportation assisted in the response to the crash.

The affected portion of Freemans Ford Road reopened to traffic as of 8:10 p.m. Monday.

Remington reveals its new town seal The design, created by Alison Wargo, replaces version that features Confederate symbol

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Remington’s Town Council members revealed the town’s new seal at their meeting Monday night.

Vice Mayor Devada Allison said that his personal favorite, created by local graphic artist Alison Wargo, was the winning entry. “There was so much history in her design,” said the vice mayor, “and I think it was the most upscale of the three.”

Ballots were sent out with water bills to 285 households.

Fifty-eight were returned; Wargo’s design garnered 26 votes and so was declared the winner.

Allison had said at the council’s July meeting that in light of the national reckoning over institutionalized racism and the “healing process” happening in the country, he said council members recognized it was time for the seal to change. The town seal, in place for decades, featured a small depiction of the battle flag used during the Civil War by the Army of Northern Virginia, which fought for the Confederacy.

“We are moving forward as a community,” he said. “We definitely want Remington to be represented as welcoming to everybody, because that’s

what it is.”

Wargo, who works for the federal government at the Institute of Heraldry, said the historical underpinning of the seal was by design. She spent a week or two exploring the town’s history, talking to people about what they’d like to see represented. “The Remington Community Partnership website was immensely helpful,” she said, in summarizing the town’s history.

She said in her research, Remington was described as a “town at the crossroads of history. I liked that crossroads concept.”

The artist said that when she talked to people, “There was no on singular thing that told me ‘We must have this.’ But everyone talked about the town’s beauty, the landscape, the river. And of course, the bridge is iconic to the town.

“And the anchor kept coming up again and again. There are two anchors in front of the Remington Fire Station. It is an intriguing symbol for people.”

The anchor throughout history has been a symbol of hope and salvation, Wargo said, and she wanted to make it a focal point of Remington’s new seal. “Hope keeps us anchored in our humanity.”

As someone who designs official symbols, insignias and seals for the military, Wargo understands their power. “Seals and insignias were used as far back as the 11th or 12th centuries. They are an art form unto themselves. They have to be bold and recognizable from a distance.”

Alison Wargo created the design Remington residents voted to make their new town seal (left).

Wargo and her husband Bob have a business in town, Wargo Properties, LLC, a real estate investment firm. Bob Wargo was raised in Remington, attended the local elementary school, and his mother worked in the Fauquier County Public Schools for many years.

Of the project, Wargo said she was glad to be able to participate in the process of developing Remington’s new seal. “I wanted to create something that resonates with people. My intention was to listen to what people were interested in about their town, to be honest about its history and to make something that was welcoming, something that the town can be proud of.”

Wargo said she was also pleased that town residents got to vote on the final choice. “I’m happy the town could choose it for themselves.”

Allison said that the town council will discuss at its October meeting how to roll out the new symbol of Remington. The original plan was to unveil the new seal at Remington’s annual fall festival, but the harvest celebration has been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A letter from Beijing: Returning students to classrooms in November will cause more stress and chaos My dear American comrades I’m wrapped up in a warm blanket with my face glued to the computer screen writing my fifth essay of the week; it’s just another Wednesday afternoon of online learning. Little did I know that in the next five minutes, the Fauquier County Public Schools School Board was going to blow up the community with the unexpected announcement that schools would reopen Nov. 9. Needless to say, my brain was running around in circles trying to get some sort of grasp on what was going on.

The transition from in-person to online school was difficult, so I can’t only imagine how the transition from online learning to hybrid in-person learning will be. Of course, students need to come out of their reclusive shells and begin transitioning back to school eventually. However, I’m not sure the “throwing them to the wolves” method that the school board seems to be using is the best choice. Students and teachers went from having about three months to prepare for online learning to only one month. Lesson plans, classroom setups, deadlines, class supplies and so much more will have to change and no warning was given to prepare.

The safety and health of students and school staff, as well as their loved ones, should not be considered “experimental.” So far, it feels as if the school board is throwing us in and saying, “let’s see what happens.” While they have outlined some guidelines, such as required social distancing and face coverings, little has been revealed about how this will be executed and enforced.

Issues of safety should not be solved along the way. How will sanitary conditions be maintained throughout the in-person days -- and not just on the singular “cleaning day” on Wednesday -- and to what extent is mask-wearing required, are questions that the school board needs to answer and be transparent about from the start. While students may opt for virtual learning if they share these concerns, the safety of the students and faculty who do choose to return must be ensured, regardless of whether they care or not about it.

Speaking of the virtual learning option, this alternative provides little benefits alongside safety. In the current online classes, teachers are focused on teaching and assisting the students behind the computer screen. Under the hybrid model, teachers will be working with their in-person students, and the virtual students may only get a window to

EDITOR OF THE FAUQUIER HIGH SCHOOL FALCONER

RACHEL SINGLETON see what is going on, but no help or interaction with the teacher.

Then, when these virtual students hope to receive help on the asynchronous days, teachers will be focused on teaching their other set of in-person students.

The whole timing of this return is even more mind boggling. When the school board skimmed the list of potential dates to return, why did they see a month that will be in the middle of flu season and say, “Ah yes, perfect.”?

Additionally, FCPS is experiencing staff shortages in multiple areas including teachers, nurses, bus drivers and substitutes. If this shortage wasn’t already hitting hard, it most definitely will if the school board moves forward with this plan.

Now don’t get me wrong, I understand the crucial need for some students to return to school.

I see this need every day in my brother, who has an Individualized Education Program. His face is leaned into the computer screen as he attempts to concentrate on each assignment, some of which don’t always get done because of his struggle to adapt to online learning. My brother needs to return to in-person learning, as do many other students with IEPs, learning disabilities or other challenges such as mental health issues or difficult home lives.

However, the needs of these students shouldn’t be the reason to pick up the pace on our return. If the school board was so concerned with this, they should have devised a plan for these specific students, not the entire FCPS student population.

If the school board had made Nov. 9 the original school return date, then maybe they could have minimized the backlash to this decision. Part of the reason for this eruption of fear is the lack of preparation and warning for the return. While it is important that schools transition back into in-person learning eventually, the return must be handled with care and consideration of safety. With this in mind, the school board’s impulsive and unsympathetic decision making has, so far, caused more stress and chaos than the intended calm transition.

(The following letter is satire.)

We are informed that you are upset by the thousands of American lives that have been needlessly lost due to COVID-19. We understand your outrage but would ask that you understand the position of The People’s Republic of China.

We would first like to state that launching a global pandemic was never our intent. Its release was an accident and not the result of military calculation. Yes, it is true that our state labs are studying plague viruses; but we only seek to be prudent in an adversarial world. We must be prepared in case the next world conflict is fought on biological battlefields.

And yet you may ask, “Why didn’t you inform the international community of a potentially lethal biological threat?” Well, quite simply, it was not in our interest to do so. And besides, we merely did what your president would have done; we put our country first regardless of the consequence to others.

Admittedly, not informing an unsuspecting world population was morally reprehensible, but moral consequence does not guide our actions.

We, like the U.S., were not fully prepared to deal with COVID-19 and needed to cover up its spread to avoid panic and gain time to devise a response. But, unlike the U.S., once the potential of the treat was realized, we acted quickly and decisively on a national scale.

We imposed strict civil discipline and implemented a local/global misinformation campaign. Controlling the populace eventually enabled us to control the spread of the virus. Controlling the messaging gained us the time to amass the necessary resources from domestic and international markets. Additionally, we needed time to complete many international objectives while positioning ourselves to best absorb the likely fallout. We were successful in this course; you took a different path and were not.

Consequently, The People’s Republic of China has weathered the first wave of COVID-19. As of the

date of this letter, China has recorded 85,000 cases with only 4,600 deaths as compared with 6.8 million cases in the U.S. and 200,000 deaths. Also of note, China represents 18% of the world population but less than 1% of COVID-19 deaths, while the U.S. has only 4% of the world population but accounts for 22% of global deaths.

Those numbers speak for themselves.

It is a pity that your president delayed acting with a sense of urgency even though all the early warning signs were evident. He ignored the science, issued partial travel bans, and failed to mobilize a unified national response. Instead, he politicized a national emergency and continually downplayed the peril all the while knowing the severity of the threat. We do not fully understand this strategy but suspect that it has something to do with your upcoming elections. We do, however, understand that power is everything.

And finally, we note your president would like to assign sole blame for the global pandemic directly to us by calling it the China Virus. Let us assure you this added recognition is not necessary. If, however, you still desire to rename Covid-19, then we humbly suggest it far more appropriate to relabel it the Trump Virus … after all, the U.S. leads the world in the number of cases and deaths.

Again, we regret our part as the origin of the contagion. We hope this letter helps assuage the anger you must feel toward us. We also hope that you will come to realize that you must assume some responsibility for not insisting upon the truth and demanding more substantive action from your government. If you had done so, it could have resulted in less severe outcomes … certainly for the victims and their families.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely, Xi Jinping State Chairperson The People’s Republic of China PS: AS DICTATED TO DON BACHMANN, Marshall

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Say it ain’t so, Nancy For nearly 40 years, I had the distinct privilege of working in the people’s House of Representatives.

During my service, there were seven speakers of the House --- four Democrats and three Republicans.

In my opinion, Nancy Pelosi is the most effective in controlling her caucus, the most partisan, and the least likely to seek bipartisan solutions. Her own daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, has described her leadership style as she will “cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding,” if you disagree with her.

In recent weeks, the bipartisan Problems Solvers Caucus in the House of Representatives presented Speaker Pelosi with the latest $1.5 trillion COVID aid package. Included within this needed legislation was: $120 billion for enhanced federal unemployment benefits; $100 billion for K-12 schools; $95 billion for small business loans; $25 billion for COVID testing and contact tracing, and $12 billion for new broadband hot spots.

The House of Representatives was never given an opportunity to even discuss this package crafted by 25 Democrats and 18 Republicans.

Speaker Pelosi simply said NO and by so doing told schoolchildren, doctors, small-business owners, and the unemployed to go to HELL. Why would she not allow even debate on this legislation? The primary reason is that the package did not

include the entire $1 trillion bailout of California and New York. As a Virginia taxpayer, why should I have to bail out the decades of mismanagement in New York City and San Francisco.

As someone who witnessed Nancy Pelosi’s statements and votes for more than four decades, I am convinced that Speaker Pelosi is far more interested in a campaign issue than helping the American people. Sadly, Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly demonstrated, in my judgment, that she hates traditional America, she believes we are an evil nation, she despises millions of Americans who disagree with her socialist philosophy, she has referred to her opponents as deplorables, enemies of the state and racists, and she longs for the day when our sacred constitution is shredded and replaced by her socialist manifesto.

As someone who has visited the City by the Bay, I am horrified that this once beautiful place has been transformed into a homeless tent city, an open-air drug shooting gallery and an outdoor sewer. This is a total failure of leadership and this is the kind of governance that Speaker Pelosi wants for all of America.

We must stop her and her acolytes from destroying this country that millions of Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend. Please vote to save America from Nancy Pelosi’s vision of darkness! Vote Republican.

HARRY BURROUGHS Warrenton

Comments reported on president’s attitude toward the military are ‘ fake news’ I am amazed that anyone is still pushing that fake quote of President [Donald] Trump calling our military service men and women “suckers and losers,” especially coming from a fellow veteran in the Sept.

18 opinion section (Fauquier Times, “2016 Trump voter: Denigrating military heroes is the last straw”).

Why? No one has done more for our veterans and military in the last 10 years than President Trump.

Fact: Pay raises and improved VA health care.

The quote has been debunked by persons present during the supposed event, not to mention anti-Trumper and former National Security Adviser John Bolton. To his credit, I might add!

Claim: [President] Trump thinks less of our intelligence community than others. Fact: Our President appointed the first woman to head the CIA from its existence in 1947.

Fact: Trump took out two of the worst killers of our military none other than Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Qasem Soleimani. On what a tip from a camel herder in Baghdad? Give me a break!

Claim: Most of the news isn’t “fake” and Russia did interfere with the 2016 election and Trump was the benefactor. Fact: The Mueller report resulted in 12 Russians

It’s time to turn away from President Donald Trump In 2016, Mr. [Donald] Trump said that if we voted for Hillary Clinton, we’d have four years of scandals and indictments. Well, he was right. I voted for her and I got four years of scandals and indictments.

This week, we found out why Mr. Trump has spent years in court and millions of dollars to hide his tax returns from us. He is under investigation in New York for tax evasion and bank fraud. Yes, it’s despicable this man charged us, the American taxpayers, for the secret service to use his own golf carts and stay at his own resorts to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars while shirking all tax responsibility himself.

But to me, the more pressing matter is the $421 million dollars of

previously unreported personal debt Mr. Trump currently owes, according to the records obtained by the New York Times. We don’t know who he owes this money to. This is a major national security threat.

With historically high unemployment rates, a massive dip in the GDP, more than 205,000 Americans needlessly dead due to his failed COVID-19 response and a nation torn in half by his constant divisive rhetoric, it’s hard for me to imagine why anyone would want four more years of this. No other developed nation has suffered anywhere near the deaths and economic destruction Trump’s failures have forced upon America.

Why do people want more of this?

Is it his adultery? His swagger? His ly-

ing? His constant Twitter rages? What is so appealing about this man? I think some voters are so wrapped up in being anti-Democrat that they just don’t care what Trump does or says or who he cheats, as long as there is a Republican in office. For others, I think they are just afraid of admitting they made a mistake in voting for him.

Thankfully, many people of good conscience within the Republican Party, including Trump’s own former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, National Security Administration advisers John Bolton and H.R. McMasters, National Economic Council head Gary Cohen, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Chief of Staff John Kelly have all denounced him, among dozens of other former White House staff and literally

Next Supreme Court justice should dismiss legal ‘nonsense’ The nonsense started with President [Richard] Nixon … In 1972, he declared that there was “One China,” meaning both Taiwan and the People’s Republic. The U.S. jilted the small, free country to befriend the larger one.

The nonsense expanded with Roe v. Wade in 1973. Seven judges declared that an unborn human couldn’t be a “person.” They ignored that even non-human tax-exempt organizations, trustees, and corporations can be legal persons.

Now we are told that a person’s sex is “assigned at birth” and can be a choice. This

non-scientific opinion is disproved by thousands of sex-reveal parties that are based on ultrasound images of unborn “non-persons.”

This past June, a 6-to-3 Supreme Court majority declared that sex non-discrimination laws, passed in 1964, also addressed sexual orientation and gender. But these trendy words weren’t even in use back then.

Enough nonsense … Let us be logical together.

1. China is a strong country with a large population and a brutal government. “One China” is

being indicted on July 13, 2018, for “interfering” in the 2016 election.

Supposedly, they hacked into the DNC and the Clinton presidential campaign. I say “supposedly” given U.S. Attorney John Durham is investigating the “investigators” of Crossfire Hurricane opened by none other than Trump-hating FBI official Peter Strzok.

The Mueller report, by the way, found zero, zip, nada evidence after two years of “investigating” and millions of taxpayer dollars wasted as to collusion between Trump and the Russians. Fact: CNN [likely a source of my fellow veteran] and fake news will have their day in court, the result of Professor Alan Dershowitz's filed $300M suit against CNN for defamation of character for manipulating his words during the Trump impeachment hearing. I watched the professor's presentation live and I know what he didn't say.

To sum up, the left is fearful of the military support for our president as was shown in the 2016 election and is expected to repeat, which I expect the left will try to suppress as much as possible. As for the author of the “hit piece” of last week, “You're fired.”

RON NIST Warrenton

hundreds of generals and intelligence community veterans.

Eight of his campaign staff are serving sentences or awaiting trial on felony indictments. News reports say that his most recent campaign manager, Brad Parscale, barricaded himself in his Florida home Sunday and was taken into custody, threatening suicide. None of this is normal.

I am grateful for the many Republican voices who are speaking truth.

It’s striking that no living Republican former president or vice president has endorsed Mr. Trump. I pray that Evangelical Christian America will finally turn away from this immoral and unfit man before he does more harm to our nation. We deserve better than this.

HEATHER TROUT, DVM Sumerduck

actually a lie, retold by professional diplomats.

2. Preborn babies are obviously persons.

3. A person’s sex is not a choice – it is immutable biology.

4. The Supreme Court’s newest opinion about sexual civil rights uses the same malarkey as Nixon’s “One China” policy.

Former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was apparently a nice person and a legal genius. But she invented legal-sounding nonsense just like Nixon did. I am eager for our next Supreme Court justice to base her decisions on logic, compassion and the Constitution.

TELLER PLAYING LIKE AN ALL-PRO Former Liberty star shining at right guard for Cleveland Browns

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Former Liberty High football star Wyatt Teller is coming into his own in the NFL. Last Sunday, Teller started his 12th straight game at right guard for the Cleveland Browns, helping them beat Washington 34-20.

Teller’s individual performances ratings are extremely high so far.

After three games he is the No. 3 offensive guard in the league, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF), a website that focuses on thorough analysis of the NFL and NCAA Division I. According to PFF, which charts every play and rates every player, Teller has a player grade of 87.5 among guards, trailing only Tampa Bay’s Ali Marpet (88.5) and New England’s Michael Onwenu (87.6). Teller grades at 88.8 for run blocking and 80.4 for pass

blocking.

The 2013 LHS graduate has not missed a snap this season, playing all 194 as the Browns have opened 2-1.

He has committed three penalties.

According to Sam Penix of the Browns website Dawgpounddaily. com, Teller is playing like an All-Pro. Wrote Penix, “He’s also shown a consistent mean streak as a run blocker, and probably leads the NFL in pancakes through three weeks.

He’s more likely to get his man on the ground than he is to lose a rep.”

Penix wrote a column Tuesday saying the Browns should immediately sign Teller to a contract extension: “Cleveland should offer Teller a four or five-year deal worth around $6 to $7 million yearly, which would value him around the same as Billy Turner of the Green Bay Packers. Teller is a much better player than Turner, but may be willing to accept a contract of similar value because of his limited sample size. He will be a free agent following the 2021 campaign, so it is better to do this now than to wait and give Teller more leverage.”

After earning kudos at Liberty as

PHOTO COURTESY THE CLEVELAND BROWNS

In his third NFL season, 2013 Liberty High graduate Wyatt Teller has emerged as the third highest rated offensive guard in the league. He helped the Cleveland Browns beat Washington 34-20 last week. a defensive lineman, Teller switched to offense at Virginia Tech. The 6-foot-4, 314-pounder was an all-Atlantic Coast Conference first team offensive lineman in 2017, then was drafted in the fifth round by the Buffalo Bills in 2018.

He did not play until Week Nine of his rookie year. He entered Nov. 4 in a 41-9 loss to Chicago Bears, making him the first Fauquier County product to play in the NFL. He was named the starting left guard in Week 10 and started the Bills’ final seven games.

He was traded to the Browns be-

fore the 2019 season, and emerged as a starter in Week Nine.

Competing for a job at right guard in training camp this year, Teller took control of the spot.

He was helped by the fact that other linemen opted out due to COVID-19 concerns, but hard work was also a factor, as Teller seems to be emerging as an elite player, and arguably the Browns’ best lineman.

“The bottom line is that extending Wyatt Teller needs to be priority number one for the Cleveland Browns,” wrote Penix.

Browning Field is new name of old ballfield in Hume Leeds Ruritan Club honors couple for years of service

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The quaint baseball diamond in the heart of Hume now has a formal name: Browning Field.

The ballfield has been named in honor of Earl and Marie Browning, dedicated members of the Leeds Ruritan Club — which owns the park — for approximately 50 years.

“The most admired people I’ve met are the ones that give their time and energy and don’t ask for a thing. That’s Earl and Marie,” said Leeds Ruritan Club president Robert Shoemaker.

Shoemaker said Earl, who is a longtime farm manager in the area, helped build Alex Green Pavilion at Leeds Ruritan Park, where the field is located, and also helps cut the grass. At 8 acres, that’s a big job.

Marie Browning has been instrumental in the club’s Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program, which has proudly donated two books a year to every student at Claude Thompson (Marshall) and Coleman (The Plains) elementary schools.

“We’ve had others make contributions, but not for a stretch of 50 years,”

COURTESY PHOTO

Marie Browning (left) and husband Earl (far right) were greeted with surprising news at a recent Leeds Ruritan Club meeting when they learned that the baseball diamond at Leeds Ruritan Park in Hume will be named after them. said Shoemaker about Earl and Marie.

The club surprised the Hume couple with the news at a recent meeting.

Their three adult daughters popped out after Shoemaker made a speech, producing a sign that reads “BROWNING FIELD.” The sign will go up soon, likely mounted on posts where people can see it as they enter the park.

Leeds Ruritan Park is a centerpiece of idyllic Hume. Near the intersection of Leeds Manor Road (Rt. 688) and Hume Road (Rt. 635), the park is used for recreation, picnics and social events like Hume Day. Browning Field is home to the Hume Hornets 14U travel baseball team. The park has a secondary ball-

field as well as a basketball court and jousting rings. Thanks to cooperation with Marshall-based internet provider Blaze Broadband, which has set up a hotspot there, people are also driving over to use the internet for free.

It takes work to constantly cut the grass, which is now done by Browning and Walt Mullen. “Anyone who drives by that park says it looks pretty darned good,” said Shoemaker. “It would be a huge amount to cut if we had to contract it out.”

Also in the park is the Alex Green Pavilion. Green, who died in 2013 at 93, was a cherished resident of Markham who was a charter member and past president of Leeds Ruritan Club. Green’s claim to fame with the club is having received a certificate for more than 57 years of perfect attendance at meetings.

“We don’t name buildings (or ballfields) after people unless they’re pretty special,” said Shoemaker.

Mellon Estate continues to support county park in Marshall

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The Mellon Estate has provided funds to install 11 benches along the trails at the Northern Fauquier Community Park in Marshall, as well as a donation to replace shrubs that have died over the years. Two sand volleyball courts have been designed on the property thanks to Mellon

funds, with Fauquier County Parks and Recreation officials working on an estimate for construction.

“We are very grateful for their continual support,” said Parks and Rec director Gary Rzepecki, who said the Mellon estate plans to help fund several other projects in the planning stages. Also scheduled at the park are the conversion of some grass areas into native wildflower meadows next summer.

Linda Sue Sisk Hall Heaven gained another angel on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 when Linda Sue Sisk Hall passed away peacefully at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, VA. Linda was born in Warrenton, VA on February 23, 1950 to Alan Randolph Sisk and Annie Belle Pullen. She graduated from Fauquier High School in 1968 and married her sweetheart, Allen Douglas Hall, in 1969 at Long Branch Baptist Church in Halfway, VA. They welcomed their first daughter, Melissa (Missy), in 1974 and another, Michelle, in 1977.

Linda spent her early working years waitressing in Fauquier County and working for the National Education Association in Washington, DC. She eventually went to work in and retired from the medical field.

Linda never met a stranger. If she met you once, you were her friend or she was your adopted mom for life. She loved talking with people not only in person but also via letters, phone, and Facebook.

Because Linda’s parents both died when they were 49, she thought she’d hit the lottery when she turned 50 and again each year when she had a birthday. Losing her parents at a young age instilled in Linda an intense desire to hold family and friends close, love them hard, and defend them with every fiber in her being.

Survivors include her husband, Allen Douglas Hall, of Warrenton, VA; daughter Michelle Renee Hall Graham (Ritchie) of Culpeper, VA; daughter Melissa (Missy) Ann Hall Sutton (Darin) of Gainesville, VA; grandson Dalton Douglas Graham of Culpeper, VA; her brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws as well as her nieces and nephews in the Hall family; her Pullen, Sisk, and Rutherford cousins (some of whom were more like brothers and sisters); her “adopted” kids (lifelong friends of Michelle and Melissa’s from Fauquier County Public Schools and Radford University); and good friends including Jane Dawson, Joyce Davis, and Judy Corcoran.

Linda’s family thanks everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and offers of assistance and is rejoicing in the fact she is home with the Lord as well as her parents and is no longer in discomfort and pain. She was a fighter till the very end.

The family is also grateful to all the doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel – especially those at Inova Fairfax Hospital – who have treated her since her serious health issues started in 2003.

A viewing for family and friends was held on Monday, September 28, 2020 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA. from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

A graveside service followed on Tuesday, September 29th at Hillcrest Memory Gardens, 4160 Rixeyville Road, Jeffersonton, VA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Linda’s honor to the American Heart Association or Inova Fairfax Heart and Vascular Center.

Dr. Kenneth Edward Peltzer With sad hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father, grandfather, and brother, Dr. Kenneth Edward Peltzer, age 87, on September 20, 2020 of Warrenton, VA. Ken was born on September 19, 1933 in the City of Baltimore, MD, a son of the late James Howard Peltzer and Blanche Willella Peltzer.

In addition to his parents, Ken was preceded in death by his brother James Howard Peltzer, Jr and his only son, Steven Douglas Peltzer.

He is survived by his daughter Cynthia Legg (James); his beautiful grandchildren Rachel Morris, Jacqueline Legg, Whitney Peltzer, Steven Peltzer, Aileen Bayliss (Lloyd), Christopher Legg (Violeta), Taylor Peltzer, Conner Peltzer, and Madison Peltzer and great grandchildren Brooklynn, Christopher, Riley and Knox. Also survived by his brother Franklin Peltzer and former wife and friend, Virginia Peltzer.

Ken graduated from John Hopkins University with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1955. A lifelong learner, he earned his Master of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1963 from The University of Maryland, followed by his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1968.

After graduating from John Hopkins University, he served for two years in the U.S. Army Chemical Corps, followed by six years in the U.S. Army Reserve. In the early 1960’s, he worked for Litton Industries where he invented or co-invented five patents in the fields of microwave recording and reconnaissance techniques. However, some of his greatest contributions were made when he worked for NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center as part of the team that culminated in Apollo 11’s successful achievement of man’s first landing on the moon in 1969.

Ken later changed careers and earned his M.A.I. from the Appraisal Institute in 1982 and started his own successful commercial real estate counseling and appraisal firm where he practiced for over two decades.

Ken leaves a legacy of hard work, a big smile, an eccentric personality and will be dearly missed by his family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Spiritual Care Support Ministries, 7179 New Hope Road, Warrenton, VA 20187.

Simple and Complex Estates WHY CHOOSE A MEMORIAL SERVICE? There are many benefits to having a memorial service for deceased loved ones either in lieu of a funeral or in addition to one.

Memorial services can be held at any point after a death. Since the body is buried or cremated prior to a memorial service, there are no time constraints for the event, making them easier to plan and to attend, especially for families that are geographically distant.

Memorial services can also be an excellent way to commemorate the anniversary of a loved one’s death, and because they can be held anywhere, can allow for larger attendance. A memorial service can help friends and family search for meaning. When someone dies we are forced to reflect on the meaning of life and death and to acknowledge and accept the reality of death. The memorial service is a turning point in which life is no longer the reality and death is the new “norm.” The funeral directors at MOSER FUNERAL HOME are highly trained professionals who are qualified to care for your family at your time of loss. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
