Volunteers honor fallen veterans with flags American Legion Post 72 recruited about 70 volunteers to place flags at the graves of 700 veterans on Saturday, May 16 as part of its Flags In project.

All Memorial Day ceremonies were canceled, but the post wanted to make sure fallen soldiers were remembered.

Claude Davenport, commander, John D Sudduth American Legion Post 72 said that the U.S. flags will remain at the grave sites during the Memorial Day period to allow visitors and family members time to honor their loved ones with this show of respect. Volunteers will also be needed on Saturday, May 30 at 9 a.m. to recover the flags for next year.

Hero’s Bridge, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving older veterans, has implemented four new programs for veterans during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization recognizes that veterans older than 65 are traditionally an isolated segment of the population. “We quickly minimized our face-to-face visits but increased our phone visits with veterans to avoid potential exposure to the virus and re-evaluated our programs to see how we could continue to serve them,” said Molly Brooks, co-founder and resident of Hero’s Bridge.

Brooks is also a registered nurse who works full time for a regional health care organization. One week after at-home orders, Hero’s Bridge implemented the following programs to make sure the veterans they serve continue to receive care.

Porch care packages: The team made a list of both essential items and a few creature comforts and delivered them to veterans in greatest need. This program will continue throughout the pandemic.

will allow a virtual visit from a team member to help combat isolation.

Meal service: For veterans who do not receive care packages, a meal delivery service ensures veterans have access to food that takes their specific dietary restrictions into consideration.

Pen pal program: This arrangement has paired veterans with local families, who are also isolated, to communicate with. If a family has children, the veteran can expect drawings and pictures to decorate their walls. Older students may pose questions about their service; and adults will have another adult to communicate with.

“I am proud of the Hero’s Bridge team for pivoting so quickly to identify ways that we could still serve our veterans while also minimizing in-person contact to protect their health,” said Brooks. “It is a privilege to help veterans navigate these challenging times.”

Hero’s Bridge regularly serves aging veterans through six distinct programs. These services are available at no expense to them or their families. www.herosbridge.org.

Nursing home staff goes extra mile to keep residents safe and engaged

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

On bingo days at the Fauquier Health Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Warrenton, nursing home residents sit in the doorways of their rooms facing into the hallway, four to a group, while a staff member calls out the numbers. “That way they can interact with other residents and still stay safe,” said Katy Reeves, FHRNC administrator. The residents use disposable paper bingo cards. “Bingo is very popular,” even while social distancing, said Reeves.

Residents used to have group activities and eat meals together, but since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, staff members take activities to them. In Virginia, 190 outbreaks have occurred in long-term care facilities, resulting in 4,451 cases and 691 deaths.

FHRNC is licensed for 113 beds, but currently has 80 residents – eight are temporary rehabilitation patients and 72 are permanent residents.

Reeves said, “It’s definitely not business as usual, but residents are not isolated in their rooms. When they do come out into the hallway, they must wear cloth masks … It can be a challenge,” admitted Reeves.

“They don’t like wearing the masks, but staff are great about reminding them to put them back on.”

Meals are brought by staff members to each resident’s room. “It takes more time, but staff want to make sure everyone is eating and drinking and doing OK.” Between 2 and 3 p.m. every day, residents have the option to “drive-thru” the dining room and pick up a snack – a meat roll up, some fruit or ice cream. “Residents know that they can come to the dining room, but for those who don’t want to, our staff will take them something. One resident loves Nutter Butter cookies. We make sure she gets them,” Reeves said.

The administrator is very much aware that her residents are vulnerable to the coronavirus. The average age of FHRNC residents is 89, and one resident is 102. Their health is compromised; many suffer from comorbidities like chronic obstructive

pulmonary disease or diabetes. They are frailer and generally, more at risk.

“We took COVID very seriously from the beginning,” Reeves said.

Seniors in long-term care facilities receive donated face masks Thanks to donations from community members, homemade cloth face masks have been provided for the residents of the Villa at Suffield Meadows assisted living facility and the Fauquier Health Rehabilitation & Nursing Center.

Fauquier Health has been accepting donations of unused and handmade medical and protective supplies and equipment since late March, in recognition of the increased need for personal protective equipment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Katy Reeves, administrator of FHRNC on Hospital Hill in Warrenton, requested some of the masks for the senior residents of the nursing home. The Centers for Disease

Control recommends that residents of long-term care facilities wear cloth face coverings when they are outside of their rooms or when they are around others. Reeves said, “FHRNC has been very proactive about initiating strategies to keep our residents as protected as possible. Being able to access supplies that had been donated and vetted as meeting standards was great!”

A supply of hand-sewn masks was also sent to the Villa at Suffield Meadows. The masks have a variety of patterns and are wildly popular with the residents, according to Sarah Pearson, administrator of the Villa.

She said, “The residents at the Villa at Suffield Meadows have worn their

masks proudly throughout the community and want to do their part to stop the spread of the virus. The residents enjoyed being able to choose from a variety of fun patterns and types of masks. There has been such an outpouring from the community and that makes us feel supported.”

The health system has received PPE donations from Greenville Elementary School, the Fauquier County School Board, Fauquier County Parks and Recreation, Habitat for Humanity, Fauquier Masks, Spring Garden Foundation, Wolfrom & Co., Virginia Systems & Technology, Aerotog, Kenmore Envelope Company, Masks4Humanity and local churches.

Saying goodbye CORDELL, from page 1 Cordell hadn’t seen her husband -- except through a window of his room at The Wellington – for two months. “I would go to see him every day, but when I went there on March 5, the door was locked. They had everything locked down. Only staff members were allowed in. They wouldn’t even let deliveries in.”

She said she visited her husband once a week after that and was able to see him through a window. “They would open the window a couple of inches so I could talk to him,” she said.

Cordell said that she understands that her husband caught the virus from a woman in the memory care unit who had symptoms of COVID-19. “She and Glen died the same day,” said Cordell.

Beth Kolnok, corporate director of communications and public relations for The Wellington, on Tuesday provided an update on the current situation in the memory unit: “Our memory care unit currently has 10 residents. All were tested on or before May 14 and we are currently caring for three residents who have tested positive for the virus.

They are asymptomatic and we hope to clear them soon.”

Cordell said she has not been able to reach anyone at Wellington to arrange to pick up her husband’s belongings. “They could just put everything outside and I’d pick it up,” she offered.

The Cordells moved to Casanova four years ago from Vienna. “I love it here. My daughter said that Glen told her he was glad we moved out here. He said when he was gone, I would be safe among the kind people in Casanova. He always said he wanted to go before me.”

Although the two strokes had left her husband with significant brain damage, Cordell remembered, “Every time I’d visit, he’d tell me he loved me. The last time I was there he said, ‘Little Carol, I loved her so much.’”

Carol Cordell said she is feeling “OK.” She may drive down to a beach house in Myrtle Beach, but says she is very careful about avoiding exposure to COVID-19. “I haven’t been in a grocery store for two months. My kids shop for me.” Cordell has a daughter, Kimberly Ashley, who lives in Fairfax, a son Gary, in Purcellville and another son, Gregory, in Haymarket. She also has six grandchildren. “They all help,” she said.

Although Carol Cordell was not able to see her husband before he passed away, her son Greg and his wife Michelle were able to be with him before he died. “They felt that the risk would be too high for me to see him, but Greg and Michelle got all suited up and were able to say goodbye,” said Carol Cordell.

Greg Cordell is a deputy sheriff in Fairfax and his wife Michelle works for Giant. He explained, “We are both out and exposed every day, but Mom was too high-risk.”

Michelle Cordell got the call May 9 from Prince William Hospital asking if there was someone who wanted to come. Greg Cordell said, “She called me and said, ‘Meet me at the hospital right away so we can say goodbye to your dad.’”

He remembered, “They met us in the lobby and gave us plastic gowns, N95 masks, a face shield and gloves.

They told us there was nothing more they could do for my dad and they were going to lose him.”

Greg Cordell said he is grateful he was able to see his father again.

“It really helped me, but I felt guilty that my mom and brother and sister didn’t have the opportunity. ... We hadn’t seen him for three months.

I was afraid he was confused. My mom had never left his side for 50 years. I didn’t want him to think we’d abandoned him.”

He said that his father wasn’t on a ventilator. “He looked comfortable, peaceful.” Greg Cordell said his father was asleep, but he told him his family hadn’t abandoned him, that they loved him.

Greg Corbell said his dad had suffered from diabetes and leukemia.

“He hadn’t been himself for a year, since he had the two strokes.”

“I told him it was OK to rest and we knew he’d be in a better place.”

Glen Cordell died the next day at the age of 79. He was an outdoorsman who loved boating, fishing and gardening, and is remembered fondly by those who knew him, said his wife.

Greg Cordell said his father’s father was an alcoholic. “But I never saw my dad take a drink. He worked three jobs so that we would have everything we needed. He broke that chain.

“When we were younger, all the kids wanted to be on his baseball and football teams. He had an amazing work ethic. I don’t know how he found time to work three jobs, and coach all those teams. And he loved his ¼ acre garden.”

Grandson Darien Ashley wrote, “My grandfather was a timeless soul. The type of man that communities have depended upon since time immemorial. His archetype is that of the unconditionally affectionate patriarch who extends his nurturing tenderness to all who surround him. “… As a youth, nothing injected the world with mystery like wondering the narrow rows of my grandfather’s garden. … A man is made in his actions, what he continually does, he becomes. It is through this imitation of my grandfather’s character that his presence will continue to persist in this realm as his spirit moves to the next.”

Glen Cordell was buried at Brightview Cemetery May 15, after an hour-long viewing at Moser. His wife is glad they were able to hold a funeral. “I was glad to be able to see him one last time. He looked so peaceful and seemed 30 years younger. It was good for me to be able to get closure.”

Virginia confirmed COVID-19 cases sets one-day record, for second day in a row According to the Virginia Department of Health, the number of new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 across the state stands at 39,342 as of Tuesday morning; 1,615 new cases were confirmed, the greatest number of new cases in a 24-hour period since VDH began recording cases. Monday’s tally of new cases was the highest number of new cases until Tuesday; 1,483 cases were added Monday. Only 495 more cases were added on Sunday. On Saturday, 799 cases were added; Friday, the number of new cases was 813.

Virginia added 28 COVID-19 related deaths Tuesday morning. The state’s death toll now stands at 1,236.

Testing

As of Tuesday, Virginia has administered 265,279 PCR-only tests (8,336 more than yesterday), which gives the state a positivity percentage of 14.1%.

(PCR are tests that reveal whether or not there is an active infection.)

In the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, 5,554 PCR-only tests have been given for a positivity percentage of 21.9%.

Northam has set a goal of 10,000 new tests to be administered across the state daily before allowing all businesses to reopen fully.

Outbreaks

The Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, which includes Fau-

quier County, on May 21 reported its first outbreak in a long-term care facility. In Virginia, 190 outbreaks have occurred in long-term care facilities, resulting in 4,532 cases and 708 deaths.

The long-term care center outbreak was the sixth outbreak in the local health district since the VDH started reporting. The fifth outbreak was reported May 14 and the fourth the day before. The first was in a health care facility (not Fauquier Health); four have been in “congregate settings.” The definition of congregate setting is broad and could include an adult day care program, an apartment complex, church, place of business, neighborhood, event venue or shelter.

Eighty-four outbreak-related cases have been reported in the health district as of Tuesday morning.

Local data

Fauquier County added 15 new cases of COVID-19 Tuesday morning, pushing the total to 300. The total number of Fauquier residents who have been hospitalized since the beginning of the pandemic is 20. No new Fauquier residents have been hospitalized since Thursday, May 14.

Fauquier County reported its fifth COVID-19 related death on Tuesday, May 12. The Virginia Department of

Health reports its numbers depending on the residence of the person, not where they died.

Culpeper County is reporting 638 cases Tuesday morning, 44 more than Monday. The county added 20 on Sunday and Saturday, 19 on Friday, 29 on Thursday; 42 were added Wednesday, and the county added 64 new cases Tuesday morning, May 19. Tuesday Culpeper has reported a total of 47 patients hospitalized, one more than yesterday.

The county also reported its sixth death on Tuesday.

Zip code-specific data shows that the 22712 ZIP code, which includes Bealeton, has the highest number of positive confirmed cases, at 76.

Three hundred and thirty-four people who live in that zip code have been tested.

April Achter, population health coordinator with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District of the VDH, said Friday that Bealeton case numbers may be higher because the area has a larger percentage of essential workers – those who feel social and economic pressure to report to work. Bealeton has more apartments and other affordable housing; lower-income workers have been hit harder with the coronavirus because they feel the need to go to work, even if they are not feeling well, she said.

The 20186 ZIP code, which cov-

ers most of Warrenton, has 54 cases out of 447 tested. 20187, which covers the rest of Warrenton and the New Baltimore area, has reported 53 positive cases (up five) of 433 tested (26 more tests than had been reported Monday).

Marshall, at ZIP code 20115, has 28 cases with 163 people tested; Catlett, at 20119 has 21 cases with 121 residents tested; in Remington (22734), 20 have reported positive, from 110 tests. Sumerduck (22742) is reporting 15 positive cases out of 66 tested.

If the number of cases is fewer than five, the VDH suppresses the number, so as not to unintentionally identify individuals. ZIP codes 20137 (Broad Run) and 22728 (Midland) were removed from the suppressed category Sunday. Today, Broad Run is reporting eight positive cases and Midland, seven.

The 20198 ZIP code in The Plains moved out of the suppressed category Tuesday morning and is reporting five cases after 44 tests were completed.

All other Fauquier County ZIP codes have fewer than five cases thus far.

All numbers reported here are as of Monday, May 25 at 5 p.m.

Three dogs seized after anonymous animal abuse and neglect complaint

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

The staff at the Fauquier SPCA is currently caring for three dogs that were seized from their owners last week by a deputy in the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Unit. As a result of an investigation, three men have been charged with animal cruelty.

One of the three female dogs underwent surgery. The next day, Devon Settle, director of the SPCA said, “She is doing well this morning. We are showering her with medicine, food and love.”

Settle explained that when two

of the dogs first came to the SPCA on Thursday, May 14, one of them was of “high concern.” Settle said that the possible pit bull/boxer mix was missing half of one leg. When the deputy found the dog, she was tangled in a chain. “When a dog has something wrapped around its leg like that and can’t move, the dog tries to get itself out,” Settle said.

She said that it appeared that the dog had tried to chew its leg to free itself.

Settle described the injury as “serious and severe.” She said they had wanted to get the dog in stable condition – to get the dog to a better weight, health and to stem off possi-

ble sepsis from the wound -- but as of Tuesday, May 19, “We couldn’t wait any longer” to do the surgery.

The two other dogs, both younger pit bulls, were in better shape, but all three were malnourished, Settle said.

Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. James Hartman reported that on May 14, Animal Control Unit Cpl. Kristi Kiernan and SPCA personnel went to a home on the 9400 block of Springs Road, Warrenton, in response to an anonymous complaint of animal abuse and neglect.

Two dogs were found tethered to trees with no access to food or water.

Hartman said that one dog had suffered a severe leg injury. Both dogs

were seized as a result of the initial investigation.

The next day, when Kiernan returned to the home to serve seizure paperwork for the dogs, Hartman said that a third dog was found was found with no shelter, food or water and was also seized.

As a result of the investigation, Charles Moore, 24, of Culpeper, has been charged with one felony for animal cruelty and one misdemeanor for animal cruelty.

Joshua Carter, 25, of Warrenton, has been charged with one misdemeanor for animal cruelty.

Democrats vying for 5th District nomination lead with health care

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

Three former Marines and a medical doctor – R.D. Huffstetler, of Charlottesville; John Lesinski, of Washington, Virginia; Claire Russo, of Earlysville, and Cameron Webb, of Charlottesville - are competing to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 5th U.S. Congressional District. An open primary will be held on June 23 and the winner will go on to face the Republican nominee in November.

The 5th Congressional District covers the largest geographic area of any of Virginia’s 11 congressional districts, stretching from Fauquier County to the North Carolina border.

First-term Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman currently represents the district in Congress; he is being challenged for his party’s nomination this year by Bob Good, a former Campbell County supervisor. The district’s Republican committee will hold a convention next month to choose its nominee.

Republicans have won each congressional election in this district since 2010. Since then, Democrat Leslie Cockburn came closest to reversing this trend, receiving 47% of the vote in 2018. Donald Trump won 55% of votes in the district during the 2016 presidential election.

R.D. Huffstetler

Roger Dean “R.D.” Huffstetler grew up on a farm in North Carolina in a union household.

“I’m the only candidate in this race that’s from the working class and for the working class,” he said in a May 21 interview. He was the first in his family to attend college. “I was brought up to revere people who work with their hands,” he said.

After graduating from college, Huffstetler enlisted in the U.S. Marines and afterward attended Harvard Business School through the G.I. Bill, eventually founding a technology company in Silicon Valley, California. He and his family moved to Charlottesville in 2016.

Beyond policy issues, he said that he is confident that that he can relate to a wide swath of voters in this predominately rural district. “We want to invite the Trump voters in Campbell County and Bernie [Sanders] supporters in Charlottesville,” he said.

Like the other candidates for his party’s nomination, Huffstetler supports adding a so-called “public option” as a way to expand access to health insurance. In this model, the federal government would offer a health insurance plan on the public market alongside private plans. This is especially urgent for rural areas, he said, because often there is little competition on the insurance marketplaces created by the 2010 Affordable Care Act. He said another effect of this model would be to reduce the reliance on employers for health insurance, which would remove barriers for those wishing to start their own companies. Beyond issues specific to health insurance, Huffstetler said that he would support legislation putting a price ceiling on prescription drugs and would support allowing individuals to “buy in” to Medicare early.

He argued that access to health care is also key to combatting the opioid epidemic; Huffstetler’s own father died of an opioid overdose. “Every health care program in America has to offer evidence-based treatment for addiction, he said.

He was also careful to emphasize that health care was not just about insurance but also the availability of quality health care providers, an issue especially pertinent in rural areas. He talked about the correlation between the distance to the nearest hospital and fetal outcomes, an issue with which he is especially familiar; Huffstetler’s wife is an OB-GYN. These measures would build on the Affordable Care Act, he said, and he would not support upending the system entirely. Consequently, he would not necessarily support moving ultimately to a

John Lesinski

single-payer system, which would provide universal coverage through a single government-run plan.

The lack of broadband internet access in many rural communities is another important issue for Huffstetler. A lack of internet access leaves people in rural communities behind, he said. “I’m extremely passionate about this. Nobody in this country should be treated differently because of the color of their skin or because of their ZIP code.”

He argued that while the federal government has a role in incentivizing telecom companies to expand their networks to rural areas, local governments would also need to play a role to raise capital for rural broadband projects.

On climate change, Huffstetler again emphasized a more local and cooperative approach. “We need to incentivize farmers to be a part of this discussion,” he said. This would be accomplished, he argued, through carbon sequestration programs; he envisions progressive cities partnering with rural landowners.

On education, Huffstetler said that an emphasis on workforce development – that is, education geared toward a certain job – is central to reducing the overall amount of student debt and driving economic growth, adding that local employers should consult on curricula.

John Lesinski

John Lesinski, who lives in Rappahannock County, is the only candidate who has previously been elected to public office. He has served on the Rappahannock school board and on the board of supervisors. “I really think that you have to bring a body of work and a certain experience to represent people in Congress,” he said in a May 7 interview. “I really feel that Congress shouldn’t be your first rodeo.”

A retired businessman and formerly a career officer in the U.S. Marines, Lesinski argued that he will appeal during the general election to people in rural areas who might not otherwise vote for a democrat. “I feel that now there are moderates and independents who would consider voting across the aisle, who feel left behind by their party,” he said.

Fundamentally, Lesinski’s appeal is that improvements to society can be made within existing political and economic structures, and that he is well-positioned to work with people who hold more conservative views to move forward on important issues.

On health care, Lesinski’s argument is similar to the other candidates in the nominating contest.

He said that his first priority would be to add a public health insurance option; the economic disruption caused by mass layoffs, he said, mean there is a political will to do so. “This is a chance to do a major reset, to fast-track a public option and get people on it.”

Lesinski expressed support for moving toward a single-payer health care system eventually, although he argued that building on the Affordable Care Act would be more politically feasible in the short term. Regardless of the mechanism, he said, “I believe health care is a right, not a privilege.”

Climate change, he said, is a national security issue as well as an environmental one, claiming

Cameron Webb

that as the crisis worsens it will create a parallel refugee crisis and spark armed conflict around the world. Although some regulation of emissions is needed, the federal government’s role is primarily one of leadership, he said. “If the federal government sets the direction, I believe the markets will respond.”

Infrastructure – and in particular broadband Internet – is another central point in Lesinski’s message. He argued that a domestic program similar to the so-called Marshall Plan – a $130 billion (in 2020 dollars) bill passed in 1948 to rebuild western Europe after World War II – is needed to stimulate the economy and provide an environment in which commerce could thrive.

Expanding access to broadband Internet in rural areas – he compared his proposal to the electrification programs of the 1930s – is vital to attracting businesses and industry. Additionally, he said, Internet access will also equate access to health care as the telehealth model becomes more widespread.

He said he supports “on-shoring or near-shoring” of some manufacturing processes, especially for items like personal protective equipment for health care workers. This, he said, would shorten supply chains and create manufacturing jobs in the United States.

But he was careful to emphasize his support of a free-market economic system. “I’m not an isolationist. I’m a capitalist. I’m a global markets guy.”

Claire Russo

Claire Russo, of Albemarle County, is a former intelligence officer in the U.S. Marines, a fact that permeates her message. “I have never shied away from a fight,” she said in an interview on May 8.

Of the four candidates for the nomination, Russo is the most outspoken on gun policy. “I think that’s actually what makes me the most viable candidate,” she said. She argues that her experience in the military - “I’ve carried an assault rifle in two battlefields for this country”– makes her especially suited to speak on the issue.

She likened her stance on gun policy to the laws surrounding driving a car. When speaking to gun-owning rural voters, she said, she emphasizes that “I absolutely respect his right to own a gun, but it has to be safe and not hurt other people.”

She would support legislation requiring background checks on every firearm transfer and the creation of so-called “red flag” laws, a mechanism by which police or individuals can petition a court to remove temporarily an individual’s firearms if that individual is deemed to represent a threat to public safety. She elaborated later, “It is unacceptable that people convicted of domestic violence can continue to possess guns.”

That last point is especially personal for Russo.

While in the Marines, she was raped by a superior officer, she said. She talked frankly about her efforts, often frustrated, to have the man prosecuted, describing a system more concerned with protecting the accused than the victims of sexual violence.

“Ultimately, for me as a victim, the experience of reporting and going through that process was equally traumatic as the assault,” she said.

Russo argued that victim protection laws See 5TH DISTRICT, page 12

The emergency never ends for Fauquier Hospital employees HOSPITAL, from page 1 Fauquier Health is the county’s largest private employer with a staff of 1,100 and 200 physicians for the 97-bed acute care hospital and 113-bed nursing home. The health system also runs an assisted living facility, The Villa at Suffield Meadows, where similar precautions are in place.

More than two months into the maelstrom, Fauquier Health selected a cross-section of staff to respond to questions in writing.

They all expressed pride in how they and their institution are meeting the challenge -- and gratitude as well, for an outpouring of community support including donations of masks, gift cards, lotions, pizzas and other treats.

“It’s humbling,” said Angela Hurst, the nursing home’s dietary director. “The generosity of our families, local businesses and community groups has been overwhelming.”

Across the country, the pandemic has been unsparing of the elderly patients in nursing homes and some caregivers as well. In Virginia, 190 outbreaks of COVID-19 have occurred in long-term care facilities, resulting in 4,404 cases and 681 deaths. But not a single patient nor staff member at the Fauquier home has contracted COVID-19 thus far, Melton said.

“We got ahead of it very quickly,” he said in an interview. “We went to a no-visitor policy over a month ago, started screening everybody at the door, started taking temperatures well before [others] did. We started masking our staff right off the bat.

We don’t allow visitors or any vendors unless it’s absolutely critical.

Deliveries are left at the loading dock area and staff bring it in.”

Long-term care workers often work at more than one facility. FHRNC administrator Katy Reeves said she has asked employees to choose only one place to work during the pandemic to prevent cross contamination.

Hurst knows that the no-visitor policy is tough on the families of

“… maintaining preparedness and providing the most up-to-date care for our COVID-19 patients are a big part of my daily responsibilities now.”

residents. She said, “My heart goes out to the families of our residents .... Many residents have dementia and limited understanding of what is happening and we as staff have taken on the task of trying to fill this void. Video chats and phone calls are a way to allow those visits to occur, but it isn’t the same as being with your family. I keep trying to imagine what it would be like to have my mom in a community senior care setting and not be able to walk in and see her.”

They practice what they preach.

“Given the fact that the population we care for has the highest mortality rate, I am very aware of my actions and do everything possible to limit being out in public and to take the proper precautions,” said the nursing home’s Hurst. “We would be devastated if [COVID-19] was brought unknowingly into our senior care communities.”

Dr. Tam Ly, an infectious disease specialist, said her workload has shifted. “I still see hospitalized patients, wound clinic patients and patients in my clinic,” she said, but “maintaining preparedness and providing the most up-to-date care for our COVID-19 patients are a big part of my daily responsibilities now.

“My family is very supportive of my work, but in turn, I also do not want to bring any infection home,” said Ly. She checks her temperature daily, washes her hands even more than she always did, changes clothes before going home, “and I avoid unnecessary interactions with my elderly family members and those who are immunocompromised.”

Bales agreed, “Fortunately, our families understand the risk we take, COVID-19 or not, when providing medical care to patients with a multitude of communicable diseases. All we can do as a family is follow the recommended guidelines to prevent contracting the infection,” she said.

Lab technician Kim Lomax said the work the phlebotomists and technicians do is “very hands on” with patients. Everyone already wore gloves and coats. Now they’re masked and “if any testing would result in aerosols, we perform those under the safety hood,” she said.

No one leaves their cares behind at work.

“I have a young son at home who understands what is going on and even he is worried and frustrated dealing with this situation, but we try to take it one day at a time and be thankful we get to spend more time together,” said Lomax.

Apart from going to her job, Sarah Mawyer, a supply management worker who makes sure nurses have all the supplies needed to care for patients, limits “my trips in public to only when absolutely necessary.”

The staff has the gratitude of the public and admiration from their boss.

“I do appreciate our team. It’s been very hard and stressful on them, taking care of patients and showing up every day,” said Melton.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Memorial Day 2020: One veteran’s story This year, Memorial Day really hits home. In the past, it’s always been the typical, “big-picture” holiday for me.

Held in reverence, to be sure, but I never connected it to something personal.

At 8:25 p.m. on May 19, Gerald “Peter” Hughes passed away peacefully.

While Memorial Day is technically to honor those who died while serving their country — to me, it’s equally a time to honor those that didn’t, but who gave a piece of themselves nonetheless.

Peter was such a man. I could write a book about him. His service.

His love of country. His anguish.

But most importantly, his humanity.

I don’t think I have ever had the privilege of knowing such an interesting, thoughtful and cheerful man — despite the demons he carried back from Vietnam.

So many memories are flooding through my mind that I can barely process them. He had a tremendous, lasting and positive impact upon me. Indeed, upon everyone who was blessed to have crossed his path. Blessed is an appropriate term here — as among other things, Peter had been a Catholic priest and a Trappist monk for 10 years.

Peter came from a military family.

His dad was a high-ranking U.S. Naval Officer in WWII, as I recall.

His brother, a Navy pilot, sadly was lost at sea during the Bay of Pigs military operation. This was an event that tortured Peter until the very end, as the government never provided the family with any explanation. Just a telegraph to the family with the words “lost at sea” included. Peter would get very emotional telling of how he had to be the one to sit down with his young nephew and tell him that his dad was not coming home and he’s now the man of the house.

Despite coming from a “Navy family,” Peter took a different path — first spending some time in the Air Force during the Korean War but as that was over in a short time (compared to other wars) he mustered out in fewer than two years. That’s when he entered the Trappist monk order, to which he belonged for 10 years. Flash forward to the Vietnam War. The military was hurting for chaplains and approached the Catholic church, looking for volunteers. Peter once again raised his hand, leaving the safety and pastoral life of an agrarian monk to serve his fellow man amongst the chaos, destruction and pain of war.

There was one story he told over and over, that obviously had a terrible impact on him. Fairly new to Vietnam, he ran to the stretcher upon which a severely wounded solder lay dying. Peter attempted to comfort him and give last rites. As Peter told it, the young boy looked up at him at screamed, “F----

you, Father!” Peter said that’s when he realized just how unprepared he was to comfort, and that all the platitudes and rituals of religion he knew didn’t translate to the battlefield. Events such as these are, I believe, what caused his PTSD — in his mind he carried tremendous guilt for not having the skills and experience to provide what these dying soldiers needed. A terrible and unjust burden that tormented him long after the war.

Despite the moral injuries he suffered, Peter not only survived but thrived after the war. For decades he worked with people struggling with addiction and did untold good for his fellow man. But his accomplishments and impact here in the temporal world go much further and have set in place a lasting legacy that will continue on well into the future and help countless other veterans. You see, Peter is THE genesis of Hero’s Bridge, a nonprofit focused on helping older veterans in need.

I first came into contact with Peter at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton.

I was walking down the hall in the course of my daily duties, when I was flagged down by a physical therapist who asked that I visit with a veteran patient with no family. As I stepped into his dim room, it was as if a favorite uncle and I had been reunited after many years. I don’t think I have ever met someone that could instantly stir such a feeling. Despite his predicament, you would have thought it the best day of his life from his demeanor and cheerfulness. He truly radiated positivity, for lack of a better descriptor. Two hours or so later, I departed a better man (anyone who knows Peter, knows he is quite a conversationalist).

We stayed in contact and attempted to assist as best we could throughout his continual troubles, which included frequent hospitalizations, rides to grocery shop, doctor appointments, etc.

Recognizing the significant needs and discovering the limited resources and solutions, we decided to take the leap and form Hero’s Bridge. Hundreds of veterans have been helped since its formation a handful of years ago — and Peter was the spark that set all that in motion. And, with Hero’s Bridge and Capital Caring Health working handin-hand in veterans’ care, that number will increase geometrically.

As I said, I could write a book about Peter. All the good he did while here. All the lives impacted for the better (I think every trip to the coffee shop, he made a new friend. He was that kind of person, always interested in those around him). But that is just the beginning of the story. His good works will continue on, through the people with whom he crossed paths on his daily walks, those he interacted with in health care, and countless oth-

Gerald “Peter” Hughes died recently after serving in two wars. ers in the future that will benefit from the services of Hero’s Bridge.

How does it relate to Memorial Day? One to which I alluded earlier: Memorial Day should also be a day to remember not only those who died in service, but also those that gave but returned home a different person.

Men and women who will carry the scars and demons of the horror that is war the rest of their lives.

Another is to personalize and remind us of the true meaning of this “holiday,” a meaning that can easily be lost in the materialistic world of sales and marketing. It is not about a

steep discount on a new washing machine. It is about what truly matters in the end — the human condition.

And finally, it is a tribute to a special man. An American soldier, who served his country faithfully and honorably in two branches of the Armed Forces. A man who returned and took the trauma he experienced and endured and used it for good. It also serves as a tribute to all veterans. As they say, “all gave some, some gave all.”

Let’s also honor those that didn’t give their life at the time but gave nonetheless —and gave mightily. I’ll never forget Peter sobbing during a VA appointment when discussing his experiences in Vietnam. It was heartbreaking. So much so that the nurse was sobbing along with him.

We must not forget the impact service has had on our veterans — and do our part to serve and honor them as best we can. All the while being sensitive to the demons with which many still battle.

Semper Fi. DAVE BENHOFF, LT.COL./USMC (RET.) Vice president, Hero’s Bridge

Pediatricians need financial relief to keep caring for children during pandemic The need to stabilize health care delivery for children, by addressing the financial hardship among pediatric practices, is about to reach a critical point. The COVID-19 pandemic is crippling our economy, including the financial survival of pediatric practices.

Pediatricians are the lowest paid in primary care, while our offices continue to welcome the uninsured and indigent.

During the health care crisis, we continue to prevent infectious diseases with vaccines, support mental health and maintain access to care. Without urgent support, the United States childhood vaccine infrastructure is poised for serious compromise.

Below is the letter that I just emailed to my senators and congressman. If you would like to send to your elected officials, you can find their information here: https:// www.usa.gov/elected-officials. The survival of pediatric primary care is at risk. Please share with your friends, neighbors and all those who fondly remember the care their pediatrician provided their child.

Dear [Senator/Congress(wo)man], I urge you to contact the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services to ask them to immediately distribute resources from the Provider Relief Fund to pediatricians.

Congress has given HHS $175 billion to distribute to providers as

emergency relief. HHS began disbursing this funding on April 10, but after more than a month of promises that pediatricians would receive desperately needed relief, no funds have been made available for the vast majority of pediatricians -- and there is no indication that emergency relief is around the corner. HHS’s allocations have so far been given to providers who bill Medicare, and pediatricians have largely been left behind. This has serious consequences for children’s health as it threatens pediatricians’ ability to provide care.

Many pediatric practices are struggling to stay open. If practices close, children will lose access to vital health care services, including immunizations, which new data shows have already dropped significantly since the outbreak began. This puts the country at risk of a secondary outbreak of vaccine-preventable illness during COVID-19, as schools take steps toward reopening.

Also, children with chronic conditions and other special health care needs are at risk of losing access to the pediatric subspecialists they depend on.

Please provide pediatricians with the financial support needed to provide vital care to children.

Thank you for all you are doing to combat this epidemic.

JOSHUA JAKUM, M.D. Board certified pediatrician Piedmont Pediatrics, Warrenton

Thanks for touch of ‘God’s Grace’ I am a handicapped octogenarian who is expected to stay at home these days and not go shopping and other public places.

With these orders I do appreciate the kind touches from others that I consider touches of “God’s grace” for my day. I frequently have numerous pieces of mail I want to get moving for the day.

I often need postage … [but] I do not know the amount for each piece. So, an old man like me should not go into the post office.

No problem here at the Catlett Post Office. I call ahead and the kind postmaster named Allay Whitter comes out to my car, gets my mail and credit card, applies the postage, brings my card and receipt to me and I’m on my way back home. I truly appreciate this extra step of kindness from my local post office during these “don’t go to the store days” for us seniors.

Thanks, Allay and the post office, for what I call “a touch of God’s grace” for my day.

Thanks for making end of year special I would like to thank the Town of Warrenton and the Warrenton Police Department for their role in Monday’s parade marking the end of the academic year for St. James’ Episcopal School preschool through grade five students.

After an initial conversation with Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer, the school was connected with Lt. Tim Carter of the Warrenton Police Department to help plan an event that would bring closure to the school year and also celebrate the community that defines our school. With safety of students, families, staff and residents in mind, Lt. Carter helped to orchestrate a meaningful evening of cars decorated with balloons,

signs and messages from families. The smiles, tears and shouts of joy that ensued only emphasized the need for us all to be together again in some fashion after distance learning over the past two months.

A special thank you goes to Sgt. Detective Scott Arnold for traffic control as well as Officer Chai Fuller for escorting our students and their families through town. The police escort made the students feel extra special at a time when they needed it most.

We would also like to thank all the officers and first responders who continue to serve and protect our community every day. Your dedication sets a wonderful example of courage and service beyond self for our students. Keep up the great work!

BOOK REVIEW

As wineries reopen, new book explores state viniculture

By John Hagarty

Contributing writer

Just as the COVID-19 lockdown eases up, along comes an updated book guiding wine lovers to the best wineries in Virginia: “Beyond Jefferson’s Vines, The Evolution of Quality Wine in Virginia,” by Richard Leahy.

The Old Dominion’s vinous industry has been in economic freefall for the last two months. Tasting rooms had been shuttered across the state in the interest of public health. It’s unclear how many of the more than 300 wineries will ultimately survive, but I wouldn’t bet against vintners, whose passion for their art is renowned.

Richard Leahy is a knowledgeable wine maven who brings three decades of experience in observing the state’s wine scene. In the book, wines and wine personalities come alive under Leahy’s keen eye for detail.

The book is divided into three parts: the historical roots of the fermented grape in the commonwealth; tours of numerous wineries; and a view of the industry’s expansion and future.

While Virginia lays claim to a 400-year history of winemaking, the reality is that much of that storied

past was not very storied.

Democrats vying for 5th District nomination 5TH DISTRICT, from page 7 similar to those that already exist in California should be implemented on the federal level.

This legislation would limit the evidence not directly related to an alleged sexual assault that can be used against the victim in an attempt to discredit them. Under this framework, Russo said, “both parties are heard and given the opportunity to present the evidence that is relevant to the incident.”

Her advocacy for herself and other victims makes her especially qualified to be a legislator, she said. “I am up to the task of speaking truth to power and bringing people along with me.” She summarized later, “I have fought the bureaucracy of this country and won.”

Russo, like the other candidates, supports a public health insurance option alongside private offerings on the market. “I do believe health care is a human right.” She will not commit to working toward a single-payer model, preferring instead to build on the existing system by having the public option compete in the marketplace.

“We have to be honest with ourselves about who the legislators are and what we can pass now,” she said. And, she said, “I have not seen a [single-payer] plan that does not increase the amount I have to pay in taxes [compared to] what I do now for health care.”

Cameron Webb

Bryant Cameron Webb, who lives outside of Charlottesville, is a practicing physician, a professor of medicine and the director of health policy and equity at the University of Virginia. His wife is also a physician. Webb also holds a law degree, and he was a White House Fellow from 2016 to 2017.

“I see all of society’s challenges through the lens of health care,” he said in a May 6 interview, adding that he approaches policy problems the same pragmatic and evidence-based way he ap-

proaches diagnoses and treatments as a physician.

He lamented what has been, in his view, the increasing polarization of public discourse in recent years. “Ideology is winning out over ‘the best,’” he said, arguing for a more pragmatic approach to improving society.

On the home page of his campaign website Webb is quoted as saying, “I’m running because access to affordable health care is a defining issue of our time.” In an interview with the Fauquier Times, he elaborated, “I am absolutely committed to the idea of universal health coverage.” In a pitch to voters, he said of his experience in health care, “You’d be sending a fierce advocate and an expert on a number-one issue [to Congress].”

He said that although he supports in theory a single-payer system - he called it “the most equitable and just” model - adding a public insurance option to the marketplace is more immediately feasible. “We need to make the right next step,” he said, asking rhetorically, “What can I accomplish immediately?”

His argument is essentially a market-based one: by having a public insurance option compete alongside private plans, consumers will have real choice, and the best option will prevail in the open market. “People will just say it’s a better product,” he said of the public option.

He was clear that any movement toward a single-payer system would be gradual and based on market forces. “I think it’s folly to suggest in one fell swoop that we just up and change everything,” he said in response to calls from some in his party to implement a single-payer system immediately.

Webb also said that he would support legislation requiring health insurance companies to be nonprofits. He would support price caps on prescription drugs and other mechanisms to reduce the price of medications. “There are so many levers to pull that down,” he said.

His educational priorities would be concentrated on public schools, saying a focus on issues like college tuition in a district with a lower rate of college education than some areas of the country would be misplaced.

“Our first investment has to be in elementary

nier, Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and many more.

“Fauquier County was clearly at the center of the resurgence of Virginia wine in the modern era,” said Leahy.

The book also discusses the impact of climate change on the state’s industry. Bringing the point home were our recent spring freezes. Because of a warmer than normal winter, the vines experienced early bud break.

That scenario set the stage for cold snaps that can decimate vineyards in one chilling night. And that’s exactly what happened on two occasions to several unfortunate state wineries. If the trend continues, vineyard site selection and evaluating growing different types of grape varieties will assume greater importance.

Leahy notes that during the pandemic, online sales of Virginia wine have increased. This trend is expected to continue even with the reopening of tasting rooms.

But there’s no substitute for visiting small enterprises selling one of the most popular of social lubricants.

“Beyond Jefferson’s Vines’ will be a faithful companion for oenophiles as they return to both their favorite and soon-to-be-discovered new wineries.

[schools],” he said. In general, the current school funding system, which relies heavily on local taxes, is subject to residential – and often racial – segregation, he argued.

Webb argued that despite the fact Republican candidates have consistently outperformed democrats in recent elections in the district, “it is a mistake to say that the 5th District is heavily Republican.” Instead, he said, Democratic candidates should focus on outreach to district residents who usually do not vote at all, especially African Americans. “Field a full team,” he said.

“Expand the electorate.”

He summarized, “We can win on demographics. We can win on the issues.”

Three dogs seized after anonymous complaint ABUSE, from page 6 Clarence Marshall, 64, of Warrenton has been charged with one felony for animal cruelty and two misdemeanors for animal cruelty.

Hartman said that Carter and Marshall were served and released; Moore turned himself in May 21.

Settle said she is grateful to the animal control officer “who went the extra mile to save these dogs.”

She reported that she has been surprised at how easy the dogs have been to work with.

She described one of the dogs as “dog-aggressive,” but they have given the SPCA staff no trouble. “We took precautions at first. Dogs that have been chained up can be difficult. But I was amazed we were able to handle the injured dog, considering how much pain she was in. She turned out to be not a problem at all.”

Settle gave all the credit to her colleagues “I am so proud of my staff. No matter what we throw at them, they never complain. They are just glad the dogs are here now.”

Liberty High School | Class of 2020 #LHSYouBelongHere #EagleNation #GoEagles

Dear Class of 2020!

I am inspired most about the Class of 2020 is for your compassion and kindness you have shown towards others. Mother Teresa once said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

You have served your community with enthusiasm and energy. You are a model example of what Liberty High School is all about. You have used your talents and treasures to serve others. You have conducted food drives, feminine product drives, blood drives, sock drives and seem to just want to give back to your community.

Many members of your class have been a part of our Champions Together

program, volunteering your one lunch time one day each week to participate.

Class of 2020 you have made a different choice, you have chosen empathy over apathy, you have sewn seeds of hope rather than hate; you have embraced our shared humanity no matter how we worship, what we look like, who we love or where our families came from.

As our previous president recently said, “If our world is going to get better, it’s going to be up to you.

Leave behind the old ways of thinking that divide us – sexism, racial prejudice, status and greed. Set the world on a different path.” Go out of your way to make everyone you engage with feel special.

Thank you for making the best of the situation that was given us and being #Classof2020Strong. We are proud of your accomplishments and the legacy you have left.

As American Author Marianne Williamson said, “Remember that when you ask yourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Who are you not to be? You playing a small part does not serve the world.” Good luck as you continue your journey!

STROMAN PICKS HOKIES, JUST LIKE HIS BIG BROTHER Patriot High football recruit announces on his 17th birthday

The Stroman family dynasty

Jalen Stroman’s dad, Greg, played football and basketball in the early days of Liberty High, which opened in 1994. Mom Priscilla ran track at Brentsville District High. Besides their two football star sons, daughter Leyla, 15, is a rising sophomore who plays volleyball at Patriot.

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The color of the burnout powder gave it away.

In a well-crafted 97-second Twitter video, Patriot High rising senior Jalen Stroman emerges from his brother’s muscle car and walks through a cloud of maroon and orange smoke to announce he’ll be playing at Virginia Tech.

The safety/wide receiver is following in the footsteps of his older brother Greg, 24, a current Washington Redskins cornerback who played for the Hokies from 2014-18 and was born at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton.

“It felt like the school that fit me the most. I feel good with the coaches and I feel like I can make an impact there,” said Stroman, who posted the video on his 17th birthday last Friday.

Stroman visited Virginia Tech, Virginia and Duke in March before the pandemic closed campuses. Most highly recruited rising seniors don’t commit this early.

“I really wanted to stand out there,” said Stroman, rated the No. 18 rising senior in Virginia by recruiting website Rivals.com.

Stroman pleased Hokie Nation late in the afternoon on May 22, finally posting the news at 5:24 p.m.

The well-planned clip starts with some highlights, then moves to images of Stroman carrying a bag of birthday gifts, then the word “Nervous” on the screen. Soon Greg’s car, a Scat Pack Dodge Charger, is seen in a parking lot with maroon and orange smoke rising from below as Jalen steps out from the passenger side and walks toward the camera in a “VT” cap and poses for a closeup.

Great Meadow polo reopening in June

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

Polo in the area is revving back up.

Field games are scheduled to start up in The Plains on the Morningside field, across from Willow Run Polo School on Friday afternoons June 5, running through Oct. 30. For now, spectators are not invited, but this is likely to change, he added.

Twilight Polo at Great Meadow returns Saturday, June 13, a field events center said, with exact plans for teams and spectators to be announced next week.

Find more at greatmeadowpoloclub.com.

New to the schedule, Kingland Farm Polo takes over at the former Banbury Cross field east of Middleburg. Sunday field games are slated to start up June 21. Social distancing will be practiced with limited spectators and redesigned parking spaces around the field. Up-to-the-minute schedule details are on the Kingland Facebook page.

COURTESY PHOTO

Jalen Stroman celebrated his 17th birthday by getting clothes and money to fix his broken phone.

Later in the day he announced on Twitter he was going to Virginia Tech. The Bristow native is the son of former Liberty High boys basketball and football star Greg Stroman.

Then an image flashes that says, “GO HOKIES FOR LIFE.” It’s gotten 70,000 views as of Tuesday morning.

“We got color powder and put it down in front of the car. We practiced plenty of times,” Stroman

said. “I’ve had a lot of good responses. People like it, they enjoyed it.”

Of the location he said, “It was an open parking lot, an abandoned parking lot.”

Stroman has been working out with his brother, who lives in Ashburn and has a weight room and some turf in his backyard. Stroman has gained at least 10 pounds since last season and now says he is 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds.

“Jalen is one of the hardest workers I have coached and one of the smartest,” said Patriot coach Sean Finnerty. “It is always a special thing to have one of your best players also be one of your hardest workers.”

Stroman has started all three years at Patriot.

As a junior in 2019, he made 58 tackles with three interceptions and caught 18 passes for 470 yards and five touchdowns, helping the Pioneers go 102. As a defensive back, he was a first team all-Region 6B and first team all-Cedar Run District. He was a second team all-Cedar Run receiver.

Stroman said he decided on the Hokies a couple weeks ago and told his brother first. “He did not push me to either school. He said to follow my heart and do what I feel best,” said Stroman.

“He’s always been my big brother. He’s great to have as a role model. A great person to come behind. He told me, ‘Your decision is not my decision. It’s yours for the next four years. Where you love you go.’’’

SPORTS BRIEFS SENIOR SOFTBALL SEASON CANCELED

The Prince William Senior Softball Association (PWSSA) has canceled its 2020 summer league season, but is optimistic for its fall season which runs Aug. 4-Oct. 27.

The slow pitch league is for players 50-over and attracts players from Prince William, Fauquier, Fairfax and Stafford counties. Games are played in Bristow and Woodbridge.

Prince William County Parks and Recreation officials are projecting ballfields reopen in Phase III of the Virginia recovery plan, which is set for Aug. 1. The summer season was scheduled to begin in March and run into August.

FHS GOLF TOURNAMENT IS JULY 13

The Fauquier High football team is sponsoring a benefit golf tournament on Monday, July 13 at Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club in Front Royal. Continental breakfast

and lunch provided as well as numerous prizes. The format is 4-man scramble. The cost is $100 per golfer and helps pay for new football helmets and shoulder pads.

Send checks to Nick Metrokotsas at 6348 Nordix Drive, Warrenton, VA 20187. Or call Nick at 973-879-3180.

FAMOUS PONY SWIM CANCELED

For the first time since 1945, Chincoteague’s famous pony swim, scheduled for July 2, has been canceled because of the coronavirus. The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company made the announcement last week. The fire department’s annual carnival has also been canceled.

The Chincoteague pony herd’s foals will be sold by auction like usual, this year selling online instead of at a live event after the roundup and swim. Details are still being worked out, said longtime auctioneer Tim Jennings.

HORSE BRIEFS HUNTER PACE IS SATURDAY

Bull Run Hunt hosts a hunter pace this Saturday, May 30 at The Preserve south of Culpeper. Teams of two to five will take to the marked course with several minutes between each group’s start time. Bull Run also has a hunter show set June 11. Details on all Bull Run events, including another hunter pace being planned, are at bullrunhunt.com.

REAL ESTATE WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Welcome to Oak Knoll!

Enjoy serenity and beauty with all the bells and whistles (including high speed internet!) in charming Delaplane. Unassuming from the outside, this unique property should be seen in person to truly be appreciated.

Countless flowering bulbs create a bold spring landscape that greets you as you enter the gated, paved

drive. The home’s interior has been renovated with quality, style and function in mind … think Thermador and Bosch appliances.

Hardwood and slate floors flow throughout the main level of this all-brick, three-bedroom/two-and-ahalf bath rancher. Architectural real wood baseboards and crown molding exude elegance.

Tech lovers will appreciate the whole house audio speakers and automated lighting throughout ... including cabinets, porch even the closets! Also note the internet-controlled heating and heated floors in the renovated kitchen and two remodeled full bathrooms.

Enjoy picturesque views of the flowerbeds, vegetable gardens and half acre pond (fishing anyone?) from the living and dining rooms.

All this, and low utility costs, is located in the heart of Northern Virginia wine country with 15 popular wineries within five miles. It is less than 60 miles from D.C., five minutes from Interstate 66, and short drive to many of Virginia’s quintessential historic towns.

Bruce Henrie Nielson In the early morning hours of Sunday, May 17, 2020, at his home in Vienna, Virginia, Bruce Henrie Nielson completed his mortal journey after a courageous battle with colon cancer. Born on September 14, 1959, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Bruce was the third of four sons born to Merrill Gene Nielson and Mary Kae Henrie Nielson.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 39 years, Linda Alison Dougherty Nielson, by his brothers, Dean, Paul and Mark, and by his seven children, Jessica, Nathan (Stephanie), Jeffrey (Krista), Thomas (Leslie), Laura (Jordan Wade), Michael, and Mary Katherine (Mitchell Merrell). Bruce also leaves behind his ten grandchildren—Dean, Luke, Sierra, Aubrey, Maggie, Grant, Ezra, Eleanor, Ross and Maeve—as well as countless friends who loved him for his unfailing kindness and integrity.

As his father pursued a career in the United States Air Force, Bruce moved often in his childhood, spending time in the Philippines, Maryland, Thailand, Germany, Michigan and Ohio.

Bruce returned to Germany between 1978 and 1980 to serve as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Munich. Shortly before completing his mission, his parents moved to Northern Virginia. It was there that Bruce met Linda, whom he married in June 1981 in the Washington D.C. Temple.

Bruce studied finance at Brigham Young University, earning his bachelor’s degree in 1984. He went on to Harvard Law School, graduating in 1987. Then it was back to Northern Virginia, where he worked as an attorney for 29 years in the Washington office of the law firm K&L Gates LLP. In 2016, he left private practice and followed his friend and longtime colleague Mike Missal to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Bruce loved his country and took great pride in the military heritage in his family. He was grateful for the opportunity to work as a public servant in support of American veterans.

Life for an attorney at a large law firm is demanding, but Bruce’s legendary work ethic was up to the task. In November 1996, Bruce appeared before the United States Supreme Court, a high-water mark in the career of any attorney. But his most enduring achievement in the workplace was the influence he had on others. He showed genuine respect and kindness to everyone, from the lowest-paid worker in the mailroom to the highest-profile attorney in the firm. When his colleagues think of Bruce, they will feel a sudden craving for his famous chili, which regularly won first place at chili cook-offs. Then they will remember him as a brilliant lawyer and trusted friend who put his family and faith above all else.

Faith in Jesus Christ was the driving influence in Bruce’s life.

While he was not afraid to share his faith with his words, he did so more frequently and effectively with his actions. He worked tirelessly and often anonymously to serve his community.

Throughout his life, he faithfully filled church assignments that brought him in contact with youth.

When he played in a youth football league in Germany, Bruce’s team was the Cowboys. This kindled a lifelong love for the Dallas Cowboys, which he enjoyed flaunting among his friends deep in Redskins country. Bruce was also a passionate fan of BYU football and basketball and of the Washington Nationals baseball team. His favorite sporting events to watch were the ones his own children participated in.

Bruce was a man of simple tastes and long-settled routines.

When he wasn’t helping someone move or camping with the scouts, he enjoyed doing puzzles, devising ways to keep squirrels off his bird feeder, and relaxing at the community pool at Vienna Woods. Throughout his career, he walked, rain or shine, to the Vienna Metro station as part of his weekday commute. On weekends he was easily recognized around town in his beloved green GMC Suburban, from which he often distributed to friends and neighbors the tomatoes and cucumbers that he grew in his garden. Bruce also read voraciously and widely, taking special interest in books about exploration and the sea. He argued throughout his life that the 1970s was the best era for popular music, and he loved to sing along with his kids to his large library of classic rock songs. In recent years, he traveled regularly with Linda to visit their children and grandchildren across the country and to unwind at their favorite beaches on the East Coast and in the Caribbean.

Bruce was fascinated by the digital world. An early enthusiast for e-commerce, he saw the world-changing potential of Amazon and e-Bay, from which he bought several suits and even a car. When he found a snack or gadget on Amazon that he liked, he sent one to each of his kids. Beginning in the late 1990s and continuing until he became sick in the mid-2010s, Bruce was inseparable from his digital camera. He was widely known as the unofficial photographer of church, neighborhood and family Areevents. you thinking about BUYING or SELLING a home?

He leaves a massive collection of photographs capturing You need to be prepared. happy moments atop Old Rag (his favorite mountain to hike), Put my of experience to work you! a waterproof camera for deep in 42 theyears Atlantic Ocean (he for used scuba trips), and everywhere in between.

As a role model, Bruce was in a class of his own a true North Star. “It’s all good” was his mantra. Bruce loved people unconditionally and valued their strengths instead of dwelling on their flaws. In his heart, he had a special place for his sweet grandchildren, with whom he established loving bonds that will never be broken. They are his legacy and the fruit of a life honorably lived.

A graveside service was held at the cemetery in Lynndyl, Utah.

OBITUARIES Ann Worischek Harman April 27, 1931 – May 1, 2020 Ann Harman, 89, passed away peacefully with her daughter Joyce and sons Stewart and Art in attendance, with her cat CiCi and dog Toby at home on her hilltop farm in Flint Hill, Virginia on a lovely spring day.

Ann grew up in the Washington, DC area.

Her interest in bees was there from the beginning, writing a little book with her friend Jocelyn Sladen called “Bees and How to Pleez Them” when she was about 10 years old. She earned a degree in Chemistry from Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VA Tech). She was a research chemist at the National Bureau of Standards where she won an award for her work at a time when women in chemistry were rare. After her children were born, Ann moved into teaching science and became Head of the Science Department, Georgetown Day School in Washington, DC. She taught her family, friends and students a great love and respect for nature.

After teaching, she moved to Maryland in the late 1970’s and attended a beekeeping course run by Dr Dewey Caron at the University of Maryland. Ann became one of the first Eastern Apiculture Society (EAS) certified master beekeepers in 1981. Ann went on to keep some 50 colonies for honey production. Always active and committed, she was not only a member of but also held office in local, state and national beekeeping organizations.

She was the catalyst, along with veterinarian pharmacologists, Drs. Jürgen von Bredow and James Vick, in founding the North American Apiotherapy Society (NAAS) in 1978 at the University of Maryland; she would later serve as advisor for reestablishment as the American Apitherapy Society (AAS) in 1989. In due course, she became assistant apiarist at the University of Maryland and then the state honeybee Extension Specialist.

Ann was a dedicated honey show judge. She greatly assisted in design and development of the first US honey judging instructional program at the University of Maryland. She was a popular honey judge in the USA and around the world, including Texas, Maine, Australia, Montreal and Korea.

She ‘retired’ to the Flint Hill, VA farm, shared with daughter Joyce’s large-animal veterinary practice, in 1992. Then from 1993 to 2013 she volunteered with at least eight different not-for-profit organizations, teaching beekeeping in 29 countries, undertaking 54 assignments on 5 continents. She was recognized for exceptional service with the President’s Volunteer Service Awards in 2004, 2005 and 2008, and the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.

She taught the Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association annual beginning beekeeping class for many years and worked closely with her dear friend Billy Davis (the creator of the beekeeping class teaching curriculum) editing and improving the class teaching materials from its inception and throughout the years.

In 1980, Ann was asked to write articles on honey cookery for Gleanings in Bee Culture, now Bee Culture. She soon became a regular contributor, covering all aspects of beekeeping over the next 40 years. Ann finished her last column while in the hospital. She also wrote articles for Bee Craft and was a regular contributor to the Beekeepers’ Quarterly. Her literary work did not stop there. She was a contributor to and co-editor of the 2007 edition of ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture, and was also a contributor to the latest edition that went to press the week she died. She edited and assisted in the publication of many other bee books.

Also, in these last months she worked on chapters in the upcoming Bee Craft books, Bee Space to Bee Hive and Bee Hive to Bee Keeper. Ann wrote the chapters on US beekeepers and inventions as well as contributed important research to other parts of the book.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no formal service. Plans for a gathering to celebrate her life are being made and will be held at a future date when social gathering restrictions have been lifted.

Contributions toward bee research and student scholarships can be made in her memory to: Eastern Apiculture Society, c/o Treasurer Jacky Hildreth, 3 Summit Terrace, North Yarmouth, ME 04097, treasurer@easternapiculture.org Or American Beekeeping Federation, 500 Discovery Parkway, Suite 125 Superior, Colorado 80027, https://www.abfnet.org/page/donate

Janet Weyant Janet Weyant (nee Wilkins), 80, of Haymarket, Virginia passed away on May 20, 2020. She was born on September 19, 1939 in Jersey City, New Jersey to parents Robert and Coletta Wilkins. She grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and then moved to Bergenfield where she raised her 3 children. She then moved to Port St. John, Florida before finally settling in Haymarket, Virginia.

Janet was a dental office manager until her retirement in 2003. She was an avid reader and loved visiting the beach. She would look forward to her yearly visits with her sister Colette and visiting with family and friends. Although she didn’t travel much, she thoroughly enjoyed hearing stories of her children traveling and would follow their adventures on the map on her wall.

She was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Coletta Wilkins, her 5 siblings: David Wilkins, Colette Regan, John Wilkins, Robert Wilkins, Donna Robinson and her infant son, Daniel.

She is survived by her children: Gary Weyant (Angel), Nancy Catudal (Tom), Dr. Jennifer Betz (Jim). She is also survived by her grandchildren: Michael Kennedy, Maureen Combs, Sarah Stokes, Eric Weyant, Amy Betz, Anna Hughes, and Joe Catudal; and Great-Grandchildren: Jakob Kennedy, Jaydina Kennedy, Haley Catudal, Jordan Hughes, Sydney Hughes, Kai Hughes, Anne Marie Hughes, Sophie Catudal, Everett Catudal, Michael Stokes, Camille Catudal, Matthew Stokes, and Ada Catudal.

She cherished her dear family and friends to include Joyce Lockwood, Jane Donaldson and Yelena Lvovsky, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A celebration of her life will be held on a later date, to be determined.

Please check back for upcoming details. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Jude Children’s hospital at: www.stjude.org .

Rebecca Bragg Warren (Becky) Rebecca Bragg Warren (Becky) passed away on May 19th 2020 at Blue Ridge Christian Home with her daughter by her side.

She was born Marion Rebecca Bragg on January 28, 1926 in Waterloo, Virginia to David Griffith Bragg, Sr. and Mary Sallie Burke Bragg.

She married the love of her life, Louie Sayford Warren, Sr. in 1951. They were married 41 years until his death in 1992.

Everyone knew her as Becky. She was the oldest of eight siblings and the last one to leave this earth at 94. Much to her dismay, Becky was forced to quit school in the 9th grade to care for her grandmother. Despite the break in her education, she was a smart woman, working as a bookkeeper at North Wales for W.W. Chrylser before having children.

Her acts of service continued throughout her life as she cared for her grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and friends of every kind. Her children’s friends spent many hours, days, and sometimes weeks at their home, welcomed and loved by both Becky and her husband. She brought people together with many becoming lifelong friends as a result of her introductions. She was a constant supporter of her church and never failed to always encourage her family to do what is right in God’s eyes.

As she became more disabled in her later years, she selflessly chose to reside at Blue Ridge Christian Home, saying that she wanted her children to have the freedom to live their own lives. Blue Ridge Christian Home truly became her home, as she was cared for and loved in a way that only a family can. Her family will forever be grateful for their constant care over her nearly 12 year residence there.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her siblings, Jeraline Winifred Bragg, Sallie Elaine Bragg, Barbara Anne Bragg, Lucille Bragg Haley, David Bragg, Jr., Dorothy “Dot” Bragg Johnson, Gordon Bragg, and many other precious family members and friends.

She is survived by her son, Louie Sayford Warren, Jr. (Patricia Anne), her daughter, Mary Alice Warren Neal, her grandchildren, Jessica Warren Rhoads, Sophia (Nellie) Warren Escorcia (Jose), Andrea Henry Whorton (Robert), Joshua Daniel-Thomas Warren (Genna), eight great grandchildren, Taylor, Gavin, Miranda, Adam, Yanina, Emelia, Flavia, and Bennett and six of her seven Godchildren.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private service will be held.

In remembrance of Becky, donations may be sent to the people who cared for her body and nourished her soul: Blue Ridge Christian Home, 7034 Catlett Rd., Bealeton, VA 22712.

Becky’s grave may be visited at any time at her home church, Grace Episcopal Church-Casanova, 5096 Grace Church Lane, Midland, VA 22728.

OBITUARIES Mildred V. Reynolds (Millie) Mildred “Millie” Reynolds, 81, of Warrenton, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2020.

Timothy Paige Woods Timothy Paige Woods passed away on Saturday, May 16, 2020, at his home in Bealeton, Virginia, while holding the hand of his beloved wife, Susan Woods.

He was born on December 25, 1959, in Warrenton, Virginia, to the late Frank Paige Woods and Mona Jean (King) Irvin.

He attended Falls Church High School and Northern Virginia Community College where he studied graphic design. Tim was an extremely talented artist in both traditional and digital mediums.

His hand-crafted car art was used to promote car shows and has been published in Hot Rod Magazine. In the digital arena, Tim had an impressive career doing graphic and web design for defense contractors, software and technology companies, and numerous small businesses. He had owned and operated his own company since 2009.

Outside of work, Tim is best known for his life-long passion for classic cars. This passion was sparked in Tim at a young age by his uncle, Jack King, whose knowledge, and love of cars was contagious to Tim. While Tim enjoyed building, racing, and showing his own cars, he also immensely enjoyed sharing in the close community of drag racers and hobbyists in the DMV area. His passion for cars ran so deep that, in addition to his other jobs, he was the graphic designer for Maryland International Raceway for almost 25 years.

When not working or racing, Tim could often be found taking his mother to swing dances and concerts or spending time with his wife, children, and dogs. Tim will be fondly remembered as a compassionate, generous, hard-working family man with a relentless sense of humor and excellent taste in music.

Tim is survived by his wife, Susan (Dublin) Woods; two children from a prior marriage: Jack Woods and Kelsey (Woods) Walker and her husband Brandon; Susan’s three children, whom Tim loved as his own: Jamie Stone and his wife Heather, Adam Stone and his partner Courtney, and Travis Stone; his devoted mother, Mona Irvin; his loving sister, Kathy Miles; and his two nephews, whom he loved as sons: Luke Miles and his wife Michely, and Josh Miles; as well as many cousins, extended family, and many dear friends.

Due to social distancing orders, we regret that the service and burial must be private. Those wishing to attend can tune into a Facebook live feed of the service at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, May 22nd. Additionally, time has been reserved at the end of the service so those wishing to show support in-person may drive by the chapel windows and are welcome to follow the procession to Stonewall Memory Gardens, however, no outside guests will be allowed to enter the cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Tim Woods Memorial Fund available here. Condolences may be sent to: www.piercefh.com

Bo and Bill joined the Warrenton Baptist Church and she was active in the church for many years teaching Adult Sunday School, serving as a Deacon, and visiting the sick and shut-ins in nursing homes and hospitals. She was a volunteer as a Pink Lady at Fauquier Hospital serving in the Snack Bar for over 25 years. She was very active in the Fauquier County Republican Party.

Bo enjoyed animals of all kinds and loved all dogs since childhood. She was even known to feed the crows. She loved painting, the beach, was an avid reader and a loyal great friend. Bo encouraged the children and grandchildren in their faith and higher education and lives well-lived.

She encouraged others to seek the Lord and join a local church. Her family lovingly says of her and she of herself- Bo the Baptist, Republican and Beach Bum. She is survived by her husband of 74 years, William R. Miller; her children, Dr. Barbara S. Miller and David Dwight “Ike” Miller and his wife Karla all of Warrenton; a daughter-in-law, Joanne C. Miller; her grandchildren, William Matthew Patton and Travis Joseph Miller; great grandchildren, Charlie Patton, Aiden Miller and Joseph Miller.
