Miller Carpets moves to Main Street Warrenton Ike and Karla Miller move into their ‘dream location’ By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Ever since Ike Miller took over his family business, Miller Carpets, he has dreamed of moving it to 7 Main Street. The historic building, built in 1889 as a post office, had fascinated Miller since childhood. And the visibility afforded by a Main Street storefront, he felt, was hard to beat. See MILLER, page 5

This is Valerie Cyrus’s first year growing vegetables in the Remington Garden. Everything is growing well, she said, except the peas.

Remington residents grow community in 15-foot by 15-foot plots By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Every gardener reaps a different harvest from the Remington Community Garden. Some plant tomatoes; some grow Chinese cabbages; and some benefit most from the peace of mind that comes from – literally – getting their hands dirty. For Valerie Cyrus, the garden is a constant opportunity for learning. This is her first year with her own plot and she discovers something new every day, she said. Not all her revelations are happy ones. She is not thrilled with her cucumbers, for instance. “Look at them. Why would anyone want to eat them?” The misshapen veg-

etables are not attractive, but she’ll save the seeds and plant them next year, hoping for a better-looking harvest. A little to one side are Cyrus’s lemon cucumbers. They are small and yellow, something new she’s tried. Another surprise – asparagus green beans. “They are supposed to taste like asparagus, but I just taste green beans,” she admitted, “and they can grow up to 2 feet long!” Cyrus is growing six different types of tomatoes. She’s never grown beets before, and she’s eager to see what color they are. “I got them through a seed swap,” she said.

Fauquier’s level of COVID-19 transmission rated ‘substantial’ The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks Virginia’s localities by level of transmission; Fauquier is currently rated “substantial.” Community transmission is based on two metrics – the number of new cases per 100,000 in the last seven days and percent positivity. From July 31 to Aug. 2, Fauquier received a “high” rating. On Aug. 3, though, it was lowered to “substantial.” On July 27, the CDC issued guidance recommending that fully vaccinated individuals wear masks when indoors in areas with “substantial to high” transmission.

COVID-19 snapshot - Tuesday, Aug. 3 Vaccines

Virginia: 60.6% of the population have received at least one dose; 54.2% are fully vaccinated. Fauquier: 56.6% of the county’s residents have received at least one dose; 50.9% are fully vaccinated (50.1%). Perspective: In the state’s adult population, 72.5% have been vaccinated with at least one dose; 65.2 are fully vaccinated. About 68.5% of Fauquier County adults (older than 18) have been vaccinated with at least one dose. The percentage of fully vaccinated adults is 61.8%.

New cases of coronavirus

Virginia: 1,403 Tuesday; 699,342 to date Fauquier: 18 Tuesday; 4,946 cases to date

Perspective: The seven-day average of new cases in the state is 1,189, the highest it has been since April 24. It has been steadily rising since June 20, when it was 129.

Cases in the Fauquier County School Division

Cumulative cases since Sept. 24: 191 -- 97 in students and 94 in staff members Seven-day positivity average (total PCR tests vs. positive tests) Virginia: 6.1% Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District: 7.8% Perspective: The RRHD’s percent positivity hasn’t been as high since April 11.

Hospitalizations

Virginia: 47 on Tuesday; 31,470 total

Fauquier: 204 total Perspective: Of the 512 people hospitalized in the RRHD, 95 have been older than 80 years old; 95 have been 70 to 79 years old; 95 have been between 60 and 69 years old; and 106 have been between 50 and 59. One hundred and thirteen have been 49 or younger.

Deaths

Virginia: 2 Tuesday; 11,536 to date Fauquier: 69 to date Perspective: Of the 195 COVID-19 deaths reported in the RRHD so far, 89 have been in residents older than 80. There have been 52 deaths in those 70 to 79 years old; 23 deaths in those 60 to 69; and 22 deaths in those younger than 59.

State health department weighs in on COVID-19 Delta variant The Virginia Department of Health released a weekly COVID-19 summary on July 30. Key takeaways from the update include: • The Delta variant is dominant in Virginia, driving an increase in cases. • All areas of Virginia are seeing case growth, with 10 of 35 health districts experiencing surges. (The Rappahannock-Rapidan Health district, which includes Fauquier, is experiencing “slow growth.”) Model projections indicate that, along current trajectories, cases could exceed January’s peak. • Evidence is building that the Delta variant causes more severe disease, adding to the threat posed by its increased transmissibility.

• Vaccines are our best defense against the Delta variant, drastically reducing the risk of infection and severe disease.

The Delta variant

The weekly update elaborated on the prevalence of the Delta variant: “The Delta variant … is now well established in Virginia. Over 70% of new COVID-19 cases in the commonwealth are of the Delta variant. Models predict this figure will reach 90% by mid-August. “Delta … is considerably more transmissible and is thought to be largely responsible for the recent surge of cases in Virginia. Delta also causes more severe cases than prior variants. Studies suggest it may be nearly twice as likely to

cause illness requiring hospitalization compared to earlier variants. “Delta is also more likely to cause reinfections in those who have previously had COVID-19 and recovered. Though vaccines are effective at protecting against illness, evidence is mounting that it may be possible to catch and spread the Delta variant even if one is fully vaccinated. In such cases, the vaccinated individual may feel few or no symptoms of illness, but still be infectious to others. Though they are likely less infectious than someone who was not fully vaccinated and developed the disease, the potential to infect others still exists. “ … on July 27, the CDC issued guidance recommending that fully vaccinated individuals wear masks when indoors in areas with ‘substantial to high’ transmission. “As most of Virginia’s counties fall into these categories, Gov. Ralph Northam has echoed this recommendation. Masking, vaccinating and social distancing remain the most effective ways to protect yourself, your family and your community from the Delta variant and COVID-19.”

Perspective from the local health department

April Achter, population health coordinator for the RRHD, commented in an email Thursday about the COVID-19 situation locally: “Anytime people gather, especially indoors, there is the opportunity to transmit infection. Cases are increasing across the country, and we are beginning to see a local increase as well. “Our case investigators are follow-

ISSN 1050-7655, USPS 188280 Published every Wednesday by Piedmont Media LLC

ing up with the new cases to isolate patients and look for any common exposures. To date, we haven’t identified a common source. Summer is a time for camps, travel, fairs, etc., and all provide an opportunity for exposure.” Commenting more specifically on the Delta variant, Achter wrote Friday, “I wanted to provide a little context … about the way that the Delta variant may be spreading in our communities. “ … According to news reports, the reproduction number for Delta may be five to nine, versus two to three for the original virus. If correct, this means that one infected patient could spread illness to five to nine susceptible contacts. “The current increase in COVID-19, both locally and across the country, is driven by those who chose not to be vaccinated. “The take-home message: on a local level, our vaccines are working to prevent severe disease. A new concern is that they may not prevent all communicable infections. … This situation is evolving with more information to come. “Data from May shows that ‘breakthrough’ infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 107,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations (about 1.1%) And only about 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May were in fully vaccinated people (0.8%).

John and Mary Beth Waldeck are among the folks who work to make the Remington Community Garden, the Little Free Pantry and the Little Free Veggie Wagon successful.

Remington residents grow community in 15-foot by 15-foot plots REMINGTON, from page 1 Cyrus works in the garden every morning. On days when she’s not heading straight to her job as a nurse, she’ll bring her dog Dorado along with her, but if it’s a workday, she’ll wear shorts with her scrub top. “I always get muddy,” she grins. For 30 to 40 minutes every morning, “It’s my quiet time,” she said. “I love being in the garden.” Cyrus said she discovered the garden the same way others have. “I was walking by and saw John Waldeck in the garden, and I asked him about it.” Having just moved from Fairfax to Remington, Cyrus didn’t need convincing, she said. “I signed up for a plot.” Although Cyrus had tried her hand at hay bale gardening before, a 15-foot by 15-foot plot of land was new. She said Waldeck gave her some potatoes to plant. “I’d never grown potatoes before,” she said. Another chance to learn. Joe Bacher, too, discovered the garden while walking around. He moved from Fairfax two years ago – “where I mowed my lawn with a weed eater” – and during that first summer in town, he walked past the community garden. “I was intrigued,” he said and now has a couple of plots. He grows tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, cantaloupe and squash. He said it’s been a good year for potatoes but admits his melons have been hit-or-miss. He said that although he has to work to keep ahead of the squash bugs and aphids, he hasn’t had any issues with rabbits or groundhogs eating

But if the rabbits find sweet potatoes, he said, it will be a different story, he said. “They’ll eat themselves silly on sweet potatoes.” For Bacher, the community garden was like coming home. He always had a big garden while he lived in South Carolina for 30 years. “My first job was as a 5-year-old kid weeding potatoes. Growing up as a farm boy, this was a way to get my fingers back in the dirt,” he said. John Waldeck, who with his wife Mary Beth, has had a hand in developing the Remington Community Garden, the Little Free Pantry and the Little Free Veggie Wagon, as well as the twice-monthly farmers markets, makes it seem like the project came together on its own. “Everyone helps; people donate; it just works,” he said. But the 12-member board of directors for the garden is a hands-on group and it has taken several years to get some of the amenities in place. There is a shed with fertilizer (every gardener gets a key), three spigots for irrigation and even a portable restroom. Remington United Methodist Church is behind the effort – the garden and pavilion are on church property -- and the PATH Foundation donated funding for the covered pavilion. When gardeners suggested they would like a water source, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church – next door to the garden -- allowed the group to tap into their water system. “We have yet to have any major issues anywhere,” said Waldeck. “People can come anytime they need to work on their plot. No fences; no problems.” The garden has 35 15-foot by 15-foot plots available; seven of those plots are dedicated to growing produce for the community. Gardeners who have their own plots donate some of their time and expertise to make sure the com-

About 50% of those who have plots are really good gardeners, said Waldeck, and another third have “some” experience. The newbees, he said, get lots of advice from the more experienced gardeners. Several of the Remington folks are master gardeners and are happy to share their secrets. Mary Beth Waldeck said that the Little Free Pantry and the Little Free Veggie Wagon have made a big difference in the community. “At the end of the month, some folks have to decide whether to eat or pay for their medicine. We give them the chance to do both.” See REMINGTON, page 6

Miller Carpets moves to Main Street Warrenton MILLER, from page 1 So, when the location finally became available in June, Miller -who had already waited for more than a decade -- didn’t hesitate. He immediately put down a deposit and rushed to complete the move in three weeks. To pull off the move so quickly and without temporarily shutting down was a big challenge, said Miller. But “the right space doesn’t open up often, so it was an easy decision.” “It took a herculean effort,” said Karla Miller, Ike Miller’s wife and co-owner of the shop. “At first I didn’t see his vision, but I really am glad we moved.” For Miller, who spent much of his childhood along Main Street, there’s something special about owning a business in Old Town Warrenton. “The neat part of being in Old Town is that you’re definitely part of a community,” said Miller. “It’s kind of difficult to get anywhere because you always run into someone you know.” That kind of tight-knit community, he feels, is hard to come by. “It was a very different feel being out on the bypass,” said Miller, who previously operated Miller Carpets along Shirley Avenue. “The energy on Main Street — there’s nowhere else in the county you feel that.” Miller’s connection to Main Street goes back to his father, Bill

7 Main Street has a long and storied history on Main Street. It has been a post office, a restaurant and a flower shop. Miller, who first opened Miller Carpets on Main Street in 1968, just one door down from the current location. From an early age, Miller spent much of his time at the store with his father, learning the ins and outs of the carpet trade. “In any family business you’re going to be drafted into doing some work,” he said, and the flooring business requires particular skills. “You have to understand construction; you have to know and appreciate fashion; and you have to

understand how to execute projects on time and in budget … They don’t teach what we do in school.” As a young man, Miller left the family business for a career in the tech industry. But after putting in years at companies like IBM, he decided to go back to work with his father in 2008. They worked together until his father’s retirement in 2015. “I thoroughly enjoyed that time,” Miller said. “To work with your dad side-

by-side for that long is a really special thing.” Miller’s father passed away at the end of 2020. Miller also has a passion for the work. “I’ve had different careers and enjoyed every one of them,” he said. “But there’s nothing like working with a family to make a lasting improvement to their home.” Now that Miller has returned the business to Main Street, he is excited to make his presence felt. In recent weeks, he has reached out to other Old Town businesses to offer up some of his ample window space. “It’s amazing, the foot traffic we get past our window,” he said. “We plan to change our window [displays] quite often to let different businesses show stuff in that space.” He is also pursuing a town grant to fund custom, weather-proofed carpets for the 26 parklets along Main Street. New customers of Miller Carpets might also face inspection from Malcolm, Miller’s 17-year-old pug, who has a bed right under Miller’s desk. Designated the business’s O.C.D. (Official Carpet Dog) by Miller, Malcolm has been accompanying his owner to work since he was a puppy. “I used to carry him around in my pocket,” remembered Miller. For Miller, it’s a fun job. “If you can’t wake up every day and feel great about what you do—you’re in the wrong business.”

Remington residents grow community in 15-foot by 15-foot plots REMINGTON, from page 4 She added, “It works because people want it to work.” At the beginning of the pandemic she said, “I put the word out that we were going to have to build a bigger pantry. Six hours later, we had $600. I stick something up on Facebook and it comes.” Mary Beth Waldeck said that snacks for kids are the first items to go. In addition to non-perishable food, toilet paper, soap and laundry detergent are popular too. She said they’ve been giving away 25 to 30 pounds of pantry items a day. “It’s for folks who might find themselves just on the edge. The big pantries require people to qualify, but ours is open all the time to anyone who needs it.” Bacher said he loves the vibe of the garden. “It’s got a great community feel.” He said he’s seen the quality of the individual gardens improve dramatically. “Since the first year, people have learned a lot,” he said. “It’s a neat opportunity for Remington, providing the chance to meet people in town, work alongside them, share tips and share produce.” Last summer, Bacher said, there were a couple of extra garden plots and he asked Waldeck if he could plant corn – which requires more room and is difficult to grow and produce. The community garden held a corn roast – with hot dogs – for everyone associated with the garden. Bacher said he’d like to try corn again, but there wasn’t room this year. He said the community garden provides an evening reset for him. He has always had demanding jobs that require a lot of people-contact. The garden is peaceful for him, he said, because “squash plants don’t talk back.” James Steele has a double plot in the community garden and said he has grown “every type of vegetable. ... Every year is different. One year is a great year for tomatoes, and the

Violet Summerfield creates her own rock garden. next year it’s all squash beetles.” Steele doesn’t live in Remington, but is a Farmers Insurance agent in town. “It’s a good place to get out of the office. I come to the garden and I’m in a different head space. I pull weeds and grow tomatoes.” Steele said he has limited experience, but has learned a lot from the gardeners around him. “There are so many people with experience. After the first year, you learn what works and what doesn’t. I have learned the same lesson every year – you have to water and weed your garden.” He said his onions have been killer this year – sweet, white, Walla Walla. “I’d like to try Hawaiian onions,” he said. Steele said the “community” in the Community Garden is very important to him. “You gotta feed the people and this is a cool way to do it.” He said that some local students have been getting involved, as well. “We started a lawnmowing program. We show them maintenance of the mowers and mower safety. This year, the kids are bringing their families in too. You teach them something in the morning and they are teaching someone else in the afternoon.” Steele said that children from 4-years-old through the seventh grade may be seen helping in the garden. Another bonus: “When young kids grow their own vegetables, they are more likely to eat them.” He said, “Everybody loves the garden. We need more people to know about it and we need more volunteers, to provide either sweat or money. The focus of the garden has always been the community. The fact that there are vegetables is just a bonus.” Steele said, “So few communities are able to do something like this. But we are a small town. We can do this.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Remington Mayor Bill Polk shares a community garden plot with his friend James Steele. “We’re fishing buddies,” he said. Polk also grows a few tomatoes on his deck at home. “I like being able to grab a couple of tomatoes as I walk by,” he said. Polk is also in charge of arranging entertainment for the twice-monthly farmers markets held across the street from Remington United Methodist Church. “I try to mix it up – males and females, folk, classic rock, country, blues, jazz, bluegrass … ” he said. Events are free to all, but donations are collected to support the gatherings and the garden. Each concert/farmers market has attracted 50 to 75 people this year, he estimates; the crowds are smaller than before the pandemic. Farmers market vendors number about ten this summer. “It used to be 20.” He said he’s wanted to include some food trucks, but most of them are already booked. Polk and the other event organizers are looking to recapture the momentum that was building before COVID-19 closed the community gatherings down. A barbecue cook-off is scheduled for Sept. 18. “We’ll have two bands, starting at 2 p.m. There will be ten contestants, so there will be plenty of food to go around, and who doesn’t like barbeque?” He said that the 2019 barbecue cookoff drew 250 visitors to Remington and he is hoping for another good turnout.

Giving progress a nudge

The mayor said he would like to see Remington become a destination, but that means it needs to offer more places to shop and dine out. Although all the storefronts on Main Street are full, he’d like to expand the town’s options. There are a couple of properties in town that could host some retail shops, said Polk, and he is testing the waters to see what’s possible. A new pizza restaurant will be opening in a couple of months, and will be serving beer, wine and cocktails. “That will be a first for the town,” said Polk. He is glad to see a new restaurant and believes other residents feel the

same. Polk remembers a local said to him recently, “I can’t eat at The Corner Deli five nights a week!” There are high expectations for the new place, though. Polk said, “I’m very fussy about my pizza.” Polk has another idea to open up the town to new business. He’d like to see golf carts allowed on some town roads. “People commute home and they don’t want to get back in the car to go anywhere, but if they could hop in a golf cart and head downtown or take the family on a picnic to the river … Parents could take a quick ride to drop their kids off to at school and then stop downtown, that would be good for everyone.” Polk is in talks with VDOT, he said, to see if the town can lower the speed limit on certain streets and allow the carts. He pointed out, “It’s good for traffic calming, too.” Polk believes that the new park on the river is going to bring a steady stream of visitors to Remington. The Rappahannock Battlefield Park is scheduled to offer river access for the first time in early 2023. He said that the kayak/canoe launch at the Rector Tract is nearly finished. “It’s not open, but everyone uses it already anyway.” The Fauquier County Department of Parks and Recreation will hold a ribbon cutting for the launch at noon on Saturday, Aug. 14. An enthusiastic fisherman, Polk says that he and his wife moved to Remington for its proximity to the Rappahannock. “If I need inspiration, I go to the river,” he said. The mayor sends out a newsletter every month to share news with residents. This month he’s focusing on the history of the Rappahannock River. He donates his $100 stipend every month to a good cause and got the idea to ask for a monthly match. The first $200 donation went to the Friends of the Rappahannock. Steele, an agent for Farmers Insurance, matched Polk’s donation that first month. Polk believes the park is going to be a game-changer for the town. “Everybody is anxious for it,” he said. Perhaps a canoe rental business would want to set up shop in the town, Polk mused.

Local children’s authors inspired by their surroundings By Aimée O’Grady Special to the Times

Daniel Langberg: From chickens to an apiary to a publication

Daniel Langberg’s eagerness to introduce his two young sons to the natural world has resulted in his first children’s book, “Simon and the Bee”. Simon, named for his eldest son, 6, looks for an apple in early spring and finds only flowers on the apple tree. He enlists the help of myriad animals before finding the bee and learning about pollination. Nancy and Daniel Langberg enjoy introducing their sons, Simon and Sammy, 4, to the natural world. “Our property backs onto the Clifton Institute’s 1,000 acres of conservation land,” said Daniel. “We are surrounded by nature.”

Daniel Langberg wrote “Simon and the Bee.”

T h e couple live on a 12-acre property on Pignut Mountain in Warrenton. Their small homestead began with a few chickens, often referred to as gateway livestock. “From there it seemed like a natural progression to maintain a few honeybee hives,” said Daniel who took a bee-keeping class from the Prince William County Bee Keeping Association School. The recipient of the Virginia’s Beehive Distribution program, Langberg applied for the hives, provided by the state, and was awarded. He became hooked when his woodware arrived. This is his third season managing beehives. The catalyst for his first book was to introduce his kids to the busy work of bees. His second book, featuring Sammy, is in production.

“Simon and the Bee” can be found at The Old Town Open Book on Main Street Warrenton and Amazon.

Jackie Dennis returns to her childhood camp

Jackie Dennis of Nokesville found inspiration from her childhood summers to write her first children’s book, “The Most Loved Books;” it’s the story of how one grandmother’s beloved books became so worn. Growing up in upstate New York, just 10 miles from the Canadian border, Dennis fondly remembers summers spent at her family’s summer camp (how New Englanders refer to cabins or cottages). Her quintessential summers on the lake ended at age 12 when her parents sold the camp. “My parents sold the camp and bought a bar,” said Dennis. Fast forward to adulthood, with five children, Kelsi, Sullivan, Kyle,

Robbi and Jacob, she and husband, George, revisited her summer campsite and rented a cabin. She was surprised to see some of the very same trailers at the lake from when she was young. Jackie and George began to summer with their children at the lakeside New York state camp and the experience inspired her picture book. Her oldest son, Sullivan, now 30, has autism and she recalls how engaged he was with picture books. “Children with autism are visual learners and he really took to picture books,” said Dennis.

Ongoing, mysterious bird illness reported in region

Residents urged to remove feeders, empty bird baths as crisis continues By Cher Muzyk

Bird dos and don’ts

Contributing Writer

Observing backyard birds soared in popularity over the last year and a half as the pandemic forced people to work from home, participate in virtual school or stay socially isolated. But now that birds are grappling with their own mysterious health crisis, experts urge residents to take steps to protect them by taking down bird feeders and emptying bird baths. That includes in Prince William County, where between 24 and 37 sick birds have been reported between May 23 and June 30, according to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. During the same time period, the DWR received approximately 450 reported cases of sick or dying birds with symptoms of the still-undiagnosed illness, including crusty, swollen, or bulging eyes, vision loss and/or neurological problems. The state agency has been monitoring the extent of the bird illness locally and says affected areas include Alexandria, Arlington, Clarke, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fauquier, Frederick, Loudoun, Manassas, Prince William, Shenandoah, Warren and Winchester. Greg Butcher, of the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia, said he

Until wildlife experts determine what’s causing a mysterious and deadly illness affecting birds in Virginia, Washington, D.C. and at least eight other states, they recommend the following: • Don’t fill bird feeders. Remove them until further notice. • Do clean feeders and bird baths with a 10% bleach solution (one part bleach mixed with nine parts water), rinse with water and allow to air dry. • Don’t handle birds unless necessary. If you must handle them, wear disposable gloves. If picking up a dead bird, place an inverted plastic bag over your hand to avoid direct contact with the bird. • Do keep pets (including pet birds) away from sick or dead wild birds as a precaution.

they’re inactive. They hide in the bushes, so they don’t get eaten by a predator. It’s very unusual to see a sick or dead bird, “ Butcher said. “So, the fact that this many sick or dead birds have been seen is a sign that this could be ten to 100 times as bad as has been described so far.” Birds began showing signs of the mysterious illness at least two months ago. Beginning in late May, the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center in Boyce, Virginia, began seeing sick and dying birds at an alarming rate -- three to five cases per day, said Dr. Jen Riley, the wildlife center’s director of veterinary services. All were from Northern Virginia. Riley said they initially tried to treat the affected birds but “no treatment [was] successful.” “Though we attempted treatment early on in the outbreak, all patients died within 24 hours,” she said. “Now, like every other facility seeing this disease, we do euthanize upon admission to limit suffering.” Birds affected by the mysterious disease have mostly been fledglings or juveniles, and the overwhelming majority have been blue jays, common grackles and European starlings, though the wildlife center has seen “a handful” of other species, such as the American robin, Riley said. She noted the wildlife center has seen one fledging barred owl, while another recorded a fledgling, red-shouldered hawk, both with similar symptoms. Veterinarians have so far been unable to determine what’s causing the illness. “This is the first time that we’ve had something that we haven’t been able to diagnose. We were testing individual animals for things like lead and West Nile virus and getting negatives back on those,” Riley said of efforts to diagnose the first birds that arrived with signs of the illness. “ … We were unable to

confirm any diagnosis, and these cases kept coming in and [we] kept getting more and more of them. At that point, we did report to the state and started talking to other rehab facilities to try to get better answers.” On June 9, the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Wildlife Health Center announced an ongoing, unexplained, “bird mortality event” occurring in Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. Recently, the USGS added Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana to the list of areas affected. So far, there have been no reports of impacts to humans, domestic livestock or poultry, the USGS said. While no cause has yet been identified, diagnostic laboratories have already ruled out several possibilities, including salmonella and chlamydia (both bacterial pathogens); avian influenza virus, West Nile virus and other flaviviruses, Newcastle disease virus and other viruses and parasites. Additional testing is ongoing. Both the USGS and state wildlife officials say birds congregating at bird feeders and bird baths can transmit diseases to each other. Until the cause of the mystery illness is determined, they recommend that people keep their bird baths clean and dry and remove feeders. Butcher said birds will not be harmed by the removal of a familiar feeder because there is an abundance of food this time of year, and birds are capable of taking care of themselves in the wild. “If you want to be a friend to birds, don’t feed them right now,” he said. Riley echoed that advice. “Birds do not need feeders. It is an activity done for human enjoyment. We appreciate that many people feel closer to nature when they feed, and that it can instill a love of these species that will encourage them to protect them in the future [but] it’s now time to protect them,” she said. “That means taking down feeders until we are able to figure out what is going on.” State officials have said they will spread the word once the outbreak is over – or more is known about what’s causing the disease. “At that time, we will let people in our community know that putting feeders up is OK as long as they follow the normal cleaning protocols,” which include fully emptying, scrubbing and bleaching feeders every one to two weeks or more frequently for bird baths and hummingbird feeders, Riley said. Those who encounter sick or dead birds in Virginia are urged to submit an event report at dwr.virginia.gov/ wildlife/diseases/bird-mortality-reporting-form/. Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ gmail.com

Animal cruelty case delayed again, as attorneys debate validity of search warrant By Robin Earl

traded references to applicable case law; in the end, the judge seemed reluctant to go against Irby’s ruling – on the same case with the same facts – that had already been decided in circuit court. Plowman asked Mayfield and Rogers to submit new briefs presenting their arguments about why the previous judgement should or should not stand. The briefs are due Friday, Aug. 20. Sept. 27 was set as the date for a status hearing when the ruling would be shared. A trial date could be set then, if Plowman decided the criminal case could go forward.

Times Staff Writer

Legal arguments last week in Fauquier County Circuit Court resulted in another postponement of Irina Barrett’s criminal case after she was charged last year with several counts of animal cruelty. Barrett had been scheduled to go on trial the week of July 27. Earlier that month, however, she filed a motion to suppress evidence gathered by law enforcement, once again prolonging a legal process that has now continued for more than 1 ½ years. Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies seized more than 70 dogs -- mostly Doberman pinchers and French bulldogs -- from Barrett’s Canis Maximus kennel at 6205 Beverleys Mill Road in Broad Run on Jan. 28, 2020. More than 50 poultry and other companion animals were also removed at that time. The Fauquier SPCA has been caring for the animals since then. Barrett was charged with one count of animal cruelty causing the death of an animal and one misdemeanor count of inadequate animal care on Jan. 28 and four additional felony counts of animal cruelty in February 2020. In the civil case against Barrett that would have decided whether or not the SPCA would retain permanent custody of the dogs, then-Fauquier County General District Judge Greg Ashwell upheld a motion March 10 from Barrett’s attorney that evidence in the case had been gained as the result of an improperly secured search warrant. This nullified the criminal charges, since none of the evidence found during the execution of the search warrant would have been admissible. But Circuit Court Judge Jeanette Irby overturned that decision on Aug. 11, 2020, ruling that the search warrant was indeed legal; the criminal charges were reinstated. As the criminal case was coming up for trial, a status hearing held July 8 revealed two new motions from Barrett’s attorney Trey Mayfield. One of the motions revived the search warrant issue again, this time through the lens of the criminal case rather than the civil case. At

Dogs taken from Canis Maximus kennel in January of 2020 are still being cared for at the Fauquier SPCA. that hearing, the trial was postponed again and a hearing on the motions was set for July 29. In front of Judge James Plowman on Thursday, Mayfield argued that the search warrant affidavit was not specific enough about the harm that had been done to Yeva, one of Barrett’s dogs that died after it had been taken to a vet. (The dog’s death was part of the impetus for the search warrant.) For instance, the affidavit quoted the vet as saying Yeva had suffered and did not receive adequate care but was not more specific than that. The affidavit also stated that the vet said Barrett had brought in other neglected animals, according to Mayfield. He said, “Affidavits have to present facts, facts connected to a specific person.” He compared the case to one involving child abuse, saying it’s not enough to say a child has been abused; to obtain a search warrant, an affidavit must include specific facts. If a child is dehydrated or has bruising, those are facts, said Mayfield. It’s not enough to say a crime has been committed, there must be specific evidence supporting the claim, he said. Prosecutor Doug Rogers of the Fauquier commonwealth’s attorney’s office pointed to case law showing that the sworn testimony of Fauquier

POLICE BRIEF Front Royal man arrested for brandishing firearm after traffic accident in Warrenton

A Front Royal motorist was arrested at about 4 p.m. on July 26 for brandishing a firearm in a traffic dispute on the 6000 block of James Madison Highway in Warrenton. According to Sgt. Steven Lewis of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, Jeremy Wines, 40, allegedly collided with another driver on a highway crossover. The crash led to a confrontation in which Wines allegedly pulled out a firearm to threaten the other driver, said Lewis. The FCSO spokesman said that Fauquier County deputies arrived at the scene and placed Wines under arrest. He was taken to the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center, before being processed and released on a $2,000 unsecured bond, he said.

Sheriff’s Deputy Cpl. Aaron Vescovi, who originally appeared before the magistrate to secure the search warrant, should be valid. However, since that testimony was not recorded in any way, Plowman dismissed it. Only the affidavit and the accompanying criminal complaint could be considered, the judge said. Plowman and the two attorneys

During the hearing on July 8, Mayfield asked why Barrett’s laptop computer and phone had not been returned to her yet, stating that evidence that could prove her innocence could be found on that laptop. The items had been taken as a result of the search warrant; a year and a half later, they still had not been returned. At the July 29 hearing, Rogers said that he had received word that the laptop should be ready to be returned by the end of next week. “If it’s not, I want you to send an order that it must be returned by the end of August,” Plowman told Rogers.

CEO of Fauquier Health Chad Melton has resigned after four years. His last day leading the Warrenton health system will be Aug. 27. Melton said that LifePoint Health will conduct a nationwide search for a new CEO; in the meantime, a yetto-be named interim CEO will step in. Melton, who has been at the helm of the LifePoint Health-owned hospital since February of 2017, said he’ll be moving his family to Seattle, Washington to take a position as president of a 300-bed, not-forprofit hospital there. He said he was not looking for a change, but when a friend with ties to a hospital in the Pacific Northwest asked him to interview, he decided to apply. “It’s a bigger hospital,” he explained about the career opportunity. “They perform open-heart surgeries and neurosurgeries … My family feels good about the change, but we have loved it here, have developed good friendships and become a part of the community.” Melton said in a press release, “The decision to leave my role at Fauquier Health was a very difficult one, but the right one for me and my family right now. I am honored to have been part of Fauquier Health and this community for the last four years. Fauquier Health is a vital part of the Warrenton community, and the hospital’s team of dedicated employees, physicians and volunteers is dedicated to advancing the health of their communities. I am proud to have been able to call myself one of them and confident that they will continue to thrive long after my departure.” Chief Nursing Officer Christine Hart Kress said that she has been with Fauquier Health for 18 months – during 15 of those the hospital and the community were battling COVID-19 infections. She said that for about five months, the leadership team was short-staffed, and that “Chad and I had to divvy up responsibilities to get through it together. During COVID, the protection of our staff and of our patients was always the first priority.” Kress said that whatever she needed for staff or patients, no matter the cost in time or money, Melton never said no. She added, “We got whatever supplies, protocols we needed to keep the staff safe and keep us functioning. We were light-years ahead of other hospitals in getting what we needed, in how fast we were able to mobilize.” She said that from simple precautions, like barriers at the registration desks, to more complex safety measures, like redesigning the intensive care unit, “The work that Chad did to support all of the team in COVID operations was just fantastic. Not one patient contracted

Chad Melton COVID while they were here.” Kress added that in order to address the current nursing shortage, Melton has encouraged creative thinking. Fauquier Hospital in March started a year-long nurses residency program for recent nursing graduates. The first cohort was for six nurses, and they received 25 applications. The most recent group will include 13 new nurses. “We’ve had more than 60 applications,” said Kress. Other hospitals have resisted residency programs because they are expensive and time-intensive, said Kress, but she said it’s one more example of, “Whenever I came up with one of my crazy ideas, Chad would say, ‘Christine, let’s try it.’” Kress said, “COVID was horrific, then the nursing shortage. All hospitals are in the same boat, but what makes us different is that we have an engaged leadership team.” As a member of the military, Kress said, she has worked at 16 different hospitals. “I’ve had a lot of bosses. Chad stands out to me He really cares about our staff and our community.” Lisa Morgan, market director of physician services, said that Melton has initiated and overseen quite a number of quality and growth initiatives, like the addition of the Cath Lab, and the introduction of robotic surgery. Vicki Thompson, senior director for growth and outreach said, “Chad is such a strong and engaged leader. His loss is bittersweet. We are happy for him, sad for us.” Before joining Fauquier Health, Melton was CEO of Wythe County Community Hospital, a LifePoint facility in Wytheville, Virginia. Prior to these roles, he served as the CEO for Hackensack UMC at Pascack Valley, Texas and director of operations and division director of operations for LHP Hospital Group, Inc., in Plano, Texas.

Local children’s authors inspired by their surroundings AUTHORS, from page 7 “I’ve always loved books and have read to all my children since they were born,” shared Dennis. This is her first children’s book. It can be found at The Old Town Open Book on Main Street Warrenton or through Amazon. She has several other books in production.

Norm Reid: An elephant story 2 decades in the making

A sudden invitation to go on safari left Norm Reid with the inspiration to write a children’s book describing the characteristics of an elephant.

In Being Elephant, Reid takes readers on a journey through his African safari visit with elephants. Through his images, the reader learns about African elephant behavior, the creatures’ endearing qualities and majestic size. A talented photographer, his own photographs appear throughout the book. “My cousin had an extra ticket to go on safari,” said Reid about a trip he took 20 years ago to the Okavango Delta elephant sanctuary in northern Botswana Africa. Safari had never been on his mind, but his cousin made it an interesting proposal and Reid accepted the invitation.

He started musing about the story just a few months after his return. “I had the book written within three months of my trip,” he said of the inspiring adventure. Retired from the U.S. Department of Agriculture since 2003 Reid uses his free time to write. He lives in Delaplane J. Norman Reid has five books self-published on Amazon, including Being Elephant. His first published book was a murder mystery. He has also written about how to use hand planes in woodworking and how to photograph your model railroad.

Norm Reid wrote “Being Elephant.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Concerned grandmother: Mask wearing protects children I am not a resident of Fauquier County. I am, however, the grandmother of a first grader about to enter Fauquier County schools. I am also a nurse and a parent who has experienced the loss of a child. I would not wish that heartache on anyone and don’t wish to risk losing a grandson as well. The JAMA article cited by the school board in their decision to discontinue masks [Fauquier Times, July 7] was retracted on July 16, due to flawed methodology and incorrect conclusions. Masks do not increase CO2 levels in either adults or children. The COVID Delta variant is more virulent and more easily

A warning about children in hot cars

transmissible than the original virus. It can be spread even by vaccinated individuals who may have an asymptomatic case. Elementary age children do not have the option of getting the vaccine to minimize the virus’ effects. I strongly urge the board to reinstate mask wearing in elementary, if not all schools, in Fauquier County. Masks are not fun to wear (I know that from much experience as a nurse). Being a bit uncomfortable is a small price to pay, however, for the health and safety of our children. LINDA COOPER Fairfax

We have all heard about the tragedy of a child being left in a hot car. I’m writing this letter as a warning and a reminder to lock your cars or leave the windows open, even when your car is in your driveway. Recently, my daughter was visiting us with her children. The kids were playing on the porch when someone noticed that her 2-year-old was not there. It had been only a minute since he had been seen by his mom. She started looking through the house, calling out to him and the other children were looking for him outside. I was standing in the dining room and just happened to look outside. I noticed car lights blinking and shouted to my daughter, who immediately ran to her car.

Her little boy was in the driver’s seat, sweating profusely. He was able to open the van door, climb in and close the door with nobody noticing or hearing anything. Thank God he played with the lights, or we would not have found him. There was a glare on the windshield, and he could not be seen from the outside. I thank God that I was in the right place at the right time to see the car lights. Everything turned out fine, but I wanted to share this experience so that others will be mindful of how quickly an innocent day of play could turn disastrous. ELIZABETH DAY Catlett

Proposed brewery would infringe on Harkaway farm views If the proposed brewery on Keith Road (4J’s Farm Brewery) is allowed to happen, there is no part of rural Fauquier that is safe from such an intrusion. When Swiss architect Tapi de Heller designed his own house on the farm now known as Harkaway, directly across Keith Road from the proposed brewery, he took full advantage of the

spectacular view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. That view dictated where the house was built and how it was built, with large “picture windows” to take full advantage of the view. Harkaway’s “picture windows” served subsequent owners well. Today, however, the present owners are confronted by their neighbor’s very unfriendly plan to build a brewery, an adjacent

parking lot and ancillary buildings directly in that view. Because of the lay of the land, the owner of the proposed brewery will not see the buildings from his house. His view over the fields of Harkaway will remain unblemished. HOPE PORTER Warrenton

Now in its fifth year, Be the Change Foundation, a nonprofit organization with a mission of empowering, strengthening and inspiring women, offers a series of 12 classes for women who want to start a business or build on an existing one.

Change,” said founder Marianne Clyde. This 12-week class costs $475. Enrollment for the fall 2021 semester is open now. The first session starts Sept.14. Visit www.bethechangefoundation.us/apply. For additional information, contact Michelle Coe at bethechangefound@gmail.com.

EMMA CARTER AND J.T. DIEHL NAMED 2021 FAUQUIER TIMES FAUQUIER HIGH ATHLETES OF THE YEAR Immaculate Emma: Carter started on three title teams that didn’t lose a district game By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Emma Carter is a winner, pure and simple. The recent Fauquier High graduate played a huge role on highly successful Falcon basketball, volleyball and softball teams.

J.T. joins siblings Garrett and Caroline as top Falcon sports performer By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

It’s been a fabulous deal for Fauquier High. With five children shining athletically, the Diehl household of Warrenton has long supplied premium quality talent for the Falcons’ sports teams. Scott and Debbie Diehl’s five kids all stood out, with the youngest, J.T., starring in football and lacrosse and ending his career as 2021 Fauquier Times Fauquier High Boys Athlete of the Year. J.T. is the third Diehl to win Fauquier Times Athlete of the Year acclaim, the most by any family since the award started. Garrett, 28, the oldest, was FHS Boys Athlete of the Year in 2011. Caroline, 21, was FHS Girls Athlete of the Year in 2018.

Third Diehl to play QB

Gritty two-way football star J.T. Diehl joined older brothers Garrett and Colin in playing quarterback for the Falcons and also shined in lacrosse. In a family first, he joins siblings Garrett and Caroline as a Fauquier Times FHS Athlete of the Year winner, giving the Diehl family three winners. He’ll play football at Hampden-Sydney College.

Football became J.T.’s top sport after years of watching older brothers Garrett and Colin play quarterback at Falcon Field. J.T. first ventured into organized football at the age of eight, but also tackled basketball, baseball, soccer, kick ball and lacrosse. “I’m a very aggressive person,” Diehl said, laughing. “In soccer, I got too many penalties. It was too soft for me. I didn’t think I was meant for soccer or baseball.” The Diehls live a stone’s throw from Fauquier High and J.T. watched his brothers play for the Falcons. Diehl said he reveled when Garrett or Colin scored a touchdown. “Looking at my older brothers and seeing how successful they were. I always wanted to be better in high school than they were,” he said of his dream scenario. Diehl was the starting quarterback and a defensive back. He later added lacrosse to his high school resume and developed into a roughand-tumble midfielder for Fauquier’s regional champion and state semifinalist lacrosse squad. He also played basketball for two years before opting to spend more time in the weight room and to get a job. “I had aspirations of playing college football, so I wanted to ready my body for playing college sports,” Diehl explained. “So I sacrificed basketball.”

Football playmaker

Fauquier football coach Karl Buckwalter has vivid memories of Diehl’s contributions in victories against county rivals. The first came in Diehl’s junior campaign against Kettle Run. The Falcons entered with a seven-game losing streak versus the Cougars, but led 14-7 and were driving for an insurance score to establish some breathing space. “[Diehl] gets the snap and scrambles, then drops the ball,” Buckwalter remembered. “He knows we need the first down which is 15 yards or more.” Diehl then gathered the loose pigskin “and simply wills his way to scrambling to a first down. We drove in to score after that, making it 21-7 for the big win.” The second highlight came this season in a 21-14 win against Liberty that broke a 14-game losing streak to their county rival. With the score 14-14 and the Falcons in a third-and-17 situation, Diehl made a game-clinching play with his classic flair for improvisation. “J.T. scrambles and makes the throw, and Austin Fernandez makes the catch to get us the first down,” Buckwalter said. “Huge play for Fauquier football and he leaves a fantastic legacy. “J.T. is simply a really good athlete who has the knack of making plays in anything he does. He is very instinctive on the field, making him a natural.” See DIEHL, page 18

Losing the 2020 season hurt since the squad had state title potential, but 2021 went great at 16-1. Eight wins were by 10 or more runs, with five other victories by five to eight runs. Fauquier averaged more than nine runs and 11 hits an outing. “We came out every single game with the mentality we would run rule everyone,” said Carter.

Volleyball was a family affair

Carter had an early exposure to volleyball as well. Sister Maddie, three years older, played at Warrenton Middle School with mother Carrie as coach. Emma often attended practices and games, strengthening her bond with Maddie and appreciation for the game. “I was always around [the sport]. That’s when I started liking it,” she recalled.

Local author marries passions in latest foxhunting novel ‘Paving Paradise’ third in a series by J. Harris Anderson By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

It’s a well-worn subject in Virginia’s Piedmont: The forces of conservation and development are at odds. Toss in a bit of family strife, a touch of sexual tension and a galloping pace and you’ve got the latest entry in local author J. Harris Anderson’s Paradise Gap series. The writer took his cues from the ongoing conservation conversation to produce “Paving Paradise,” a continuation of the series he started in 2013. The central question, Anderson says, is whether the fictional Crutchfield County in his books – but based on his beloved Fauquier countryside – can grow and thrive while maintaining the rural, verdant wildness that’s attracted and entranced visitors and residents for centuries. The answer, Anderson writes, is a resounding yes, but it takes time and effort, in the book as in reality. Anderson uses the tale of the Billington clan and a looming land grab by a shady developer to push forward the story launched in his first Par-

adise Gap novel, “Prophet of Paradise,” almost a decade ago. He bases the books on the same issues vexing outdoor field sports worldwide – development pressure threatens open space, often to the detriment of both. Anderson writes that the notion of “stability, revered traditions (and) permanence, where the land is used for productive purposes and cherished for more than its monetary value” makes a perfect backdrop to continue the story of master of foxhounds Thumper Billington and his Montfair Hounds. “Why would anyone want to tear this up and pave it over?” The Paradise Gap series is based around horses and hounds, but knowledge or experience with either isn’t required to understand and enjoy the story. The central theme of conservation of resources is important to everyone living in what Anderson calls “the paradise of Virginia’s Piedmont.”

Write what you know

Anderson lives with wife, Ellen, and an assortment of dogs and horses in Warrenton Hunt territory west of town. Though not born into an equestrian family, he took up riding as a young boy, starting at Rock

Creek Park, then at the Bar J in Merrifield “for $5 an hour,” Anderson recalled. “I remember the sign – ‘Ride at your own risk.’” He graduated from Arlington’s Washington and Lee High School, studied English at the University of Virginia and earned an MBA from George Mason. Anderson married and left the horse world for a 25-year career as a marketing specialist in the banking, hospitality and construction industries. There he wrote copy and served as consultant for a firm specializing in training programs and corporate communications. He raised a family in Richmond, returning to Northern Virginia for work in 1994. He jumped back into riding, hunting with Fairfax, whipping-in to huntsman Kevin Palmer and serving as outrider for their point-to-point. Anderson started working as a writer for Horse Country Saddlery’s In and Around Horse Country magazine in 1998, and now serves as managing editor. As a committee member for the Masters of Foxhounds Association’s Centennial Celebration, Anderson assisted with editing the commemorative book “A Centennial View.” He also created the accompanying

ANDERSON, from page 19 It was the fervor with which foxhunters embrace open, rural spaces, conservation and their passion for riding – something he saw during the MFHA’s centennial, and something he reads time and again editing copy for Horse Country – that gave Anderson the nudge to write his first book, “Prophet of Paradise” which knitted religion and sport. Like Anderson’s other books, “Paving Paradise” is set in the idyllic hunt country of Crutchfield County, Virginia. Hunt master Thumper’s sister, Myrna, is in trouble with a loan shark. She sees an easy way to service the debt –

sell her share of Montfair, the Billington family estate. When he hears of his sister’s crazy notion, Thumper has vivid dreams – the book’s opening scene is a dystopian nightmare of asphalt spreading over the Montfair territory. The protagonist wakes in a panic, setting the scene for the looming battle pitting conservation-minded residents against those determined to change the landscape forever. Anderson says his ardor for conservation, along with a deep love of writing and publishing, started when he was a child. “Two passions directed my life from an early age – horses and words,” Anderson said. “Riding and writing. I wrote my first book

when I was about 7. It was a tale of adventurers landing on an uncharted island where they encountered dinosaurs and other dangers. I was both author and illustrator.” Anderson designed the cover, punched holes in pieces of cardboard, ran string and bound the pages. “My skills as an artist and bookbinder were soon dismissed,” he said. “But the writing drive remained.” The “Paving Paradise” cover is more professionally produced, from a painting by artist Leland Neff. All the Paradise Gap books are available on Amazon, print and eBook. Horse Country Saddlery has them in Warrenton. bluecardinalpress.com

REAL ESTATE/SPORTS

CARTER, from page 18 “She’s not the star all of the time, but she has that ability when she needs it. She’s just a workhorse. If you don’t know who Emma is, you probably won’t because she’s not spectacular, but she’s going to be the one who gets the job done. “In my eyes, a leader isn’t one who goes for all the glory. She’s one who flies under the radar,” Story said, adding Carter relies on an analytical and cerebral approach to the sport. Carter said she paid attention to mechanics, tactics, opposition strengths and weaknesses. “Volleyball is very technical. I like things to be technical because I am good at it,” Carter said. “I think I can do that pretty well.” With Carter as Story’s “consummate team player,” Fauquier went 11-3 season to go with the district crown. The Falcons had at least four expected returnees opt for other activities, and Carter said the Falcons had little time to compensate due to the highly condensed seasons. “Volleyball had to move a lot quicker than we usually had to,” Carter said. “But we made it through. At that point, we were just happy to play.”

Basketball breaks long drought

Basketball season added several additional deposits to Carter’s memory bank. The Falcons ran the table versus district schools to earn the

regular-season and tournament trophies. The championship game victory over Kettle Run also ended a drought lasting nearly half a century. The only other time Fauquier had claimed a district girls basketball crown was in 1972, 49 years earlier. “When I started training with those girls, I knew it was a possibility from the beginning, and we did it,” Carter said of the 10-2 season, adding, “It’s always satisfying to beat Kettle Run.” “I could always count on Emma,” girls basketball coach Bryan Foddrell said of his lone senior. “Because of that I always called her ‘Money’ and stuck with her.” Playing point guard, shooting guard and forward positions, Carter was the third leading scorer, averaging 7.5 points, four rebounds and four assists per game. She also was a 75 percent free throw shooter. Her season high of 15 points came against Kettle Run in the season opener. “Emma brought leadership and a positive attitude that spread throughout our team. She’s a great athlete and an awesome young lady. I’m so proud to have the opportunity to coach her,” Foddrell concluded.

Headed to Christopher Newport

Emma will be joining sister Maddie at Christopher Newport University in a few weeks. Maddie plays volleyball for the Captains, and Emma may seek to join the program as a manager to join her sister, who will be a senior.

DIEHL, from page 18 decimated his first opportunity as a member of our program, but his athleticism and leadership showed through.” Diehl returned as a senior, and he continued to impress the coaching staff, who made him one of the captains. “He has an infectious drive to win that lifts others to that level,” Tippett explained, adding Diehl’s play on the field led to first-team all-Region B honors as a midfielder without the aura that accompanies high goal totals. Tippett said Diehl created scoring chances off transition, although he didn’t always score or get the assist. “His speed and aggressiveness on the field led to a great number of positive offensive possessions for our team,” Tippett said. “He has a very gritty, no- nonsense style of play. He is swift footed, agile, with a great ability to make opposing players miss.” After the Falcons opened with a loss to Battlefield, the eventual Class 6 state runner-up, they ran off 10 consecutive wins to capture the school’s first regional crown and advance to the state semifinals for the first time. Nine of those wins came by an average of more than 12 goals. Included was a win over Kettle Run, the first time a Tippett team had downed the Cougars, Diehl said. “We caught fire pretty quick. We knew we had big potential,” Diehl said of the blistering pace. “We were shocked how good we were. We said ‘We can make a serious run at state.’” The Falcons led Dominion after one quarter before falling to the un-

beaten Titans, 13-10. “We definitely gave them a scare,” he said. What were his thoughts upon playing his final lacrosse game? “I wish I had played all four years,” he said with a hearty laugh. “I had such a good time.”

Headed to Hampden-Sydney

Diehl will be heading to NCAA Division III Hampden-Sydney College next week. The recent graduate said no one was recruiting him until about the time high school football began. Then his telephone stayed busy with calls and texts from interested schools. Hampden-Sydney was the first to take notice, yet Diehl admitted he became “iffy” about playing collegiately. The team’s loss in the late-season rematch with Liberty rekindled his desire. “I can’t stop here,” Diehl said of his internal dialogue. “I love this sport. I can’t give it up.” Hampden-Sydney, located between Richmond and Lynchburg, fit his criteria, Diehl said, as the staff wants him on offense as a running back. He also likes the small classes, availability of academic advisors and the coaches’ emphasis on more than football. “Every time I went down there, I loved it. The coaches emphasized becoming a man,” he said appreciatively, noting Fernandez is joining him. They will be roommates. “I want to try to work my butt off to make the best impression in the first few practices,” Diehl continued. “I understand most freshmen don’t get to start. I want to prove I’m at that starting level.”

William Earl Browning Well-known cattle and farming expert William Earl Browning of Hume, VA, passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the age of 80 on July 30, 2021. Born December 27, 1940, in Fluvanna County, VA, to the son of the late Henry Thurstan Browning and Leone Browning (nee Haden), he graduated from Fluvanna High School in 1959, where he was captain of the football team, played basketball and his favorite sport – baseball - which he continued to play for Virginia Tech while a freshman at college. Earl graduated from VA Tech’s ROTC program in 1963, with a BS degree in Animal Science. After serving in the army from 1964-1966, he moved to Hume, Virginia, in Fauquier County, where his heart never left. He began his farming career as a herdsman at Mulberry Hill Farm in Hume until 1968, and then managed the Cove Farm (also in Hume) for many years. Earl ended his farming career after an additional 25 years as Manager of Huntley Farm in Broad Run, VA, where he shared his love and knowledge of cattle and farming with countless other like-minded people, including many from other countries. Earl served on the Boards and held various positions in many organizations in his field, including the Virginia Cattleman’s Assoc., Culpeper Farmer’s Cooperative Association, Fauquier Livestock Exchange, and the Feeder Calf Association. He was recognized as Virginia’s Cattleman of the Year in 2002. Well-loved and respected, Earl was known for his work ethic, his sense of community and his ability to put people at ease. Earl was quick to smile and to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He served as a Deacon and member of Hume Baptist Church for many years and was an active member for decades of both the Warrenton and Leeds Ruritan Clubs, holding various leadership positions in both clubs over the years. During his retirement, Earl volunteered to serve on the Gravesite Committee for Leeds Cemetery and acted as groundskeeper for both Hume Baptist Church and the Leeds Ruritan Park. Earl loved gardening and shared the considerable bounty from his vegetable and flower gardens, along with countless other favors and good deeds, with his friends, family, and neighbors. In recognition of his longstanding service and devotion to the community, the Leeds Ruritan Club named its baseball field “Browning Field” in 2020 – an honor he cherished. Earl was devoted to his family and loved nothing better than to watch his many grandchildren play sports and participate in other activities. He leaves behind the love of his life (from 5th grade on) and wife of 59 years, Marie Harvey Browning, daughters Janet Eisenberg of Burke, Jill Browning-Cahall (Jeff) of Gainesville, and Becky Ream of Culpeper; grandchildren Andy Eisenberg, Zachary Eisenberg, Austin Cahall, Isabella Cahall, Rick (Beth) Cahall, Matthew Cahall, Amanda (James) Furlong, Kylie Ream and Patrick Ream; and multiple nieces, nephews, and great-grandchildren. Visitation will be held on Thursday evening, August 5, from 6-8pm at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton Virginia. A celebration of life begins at Hume Baptist Church at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, August 6, 2021, with interment to immediately follow at Leeds Cemetery, Markham, VA. Memorial Contributions may be made either to the William Earl Browning Scholarship at Virginia Tech Advancement Div., Office of Gift Accounting, University Gateway Center (0336), 902 Rivers Fork Road, Blacksburg, VA 24061 (payable to “VA Tech Foundation Scholarship: William Earl Browning”, or the Leeds Ruritan Club (for maintenance of the park and Browning Field), PO BOX 7, Hume, VA 22639.

Ruth Boyd Wilson On Monday, July 26, 2021, Ruth Boyd Wilson, a loving mother, sister, wife, and grandmother, passed away at the age of 98. Ruth was born on February 28, 1923 to Ernest C. Boyd and A. Beatrice Simpson Boyd, from Worcester, MA and Nova Scotia respectively. Ruth grew up in Worcester and attended college at Cornell University. Here, she met Jim while he was in officer’s candidate school for the Marines. They married November 25, 1944. This moment began a growing and honored legacy that now spans generations. Ruth and James had four children: Susan, Doug, Sally, and Jeffery. Ruth and James lived in Worcester and Springfield, MA before moving to the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, VA. Here, Ruth learned to ride horses with her eldest daughter Susan, who began winning in competitive horse shows on base. The passion spread to Jim and Doug who carved out a place for a paddock they built together in their own backyard. After a brief transfer to North Carolina, Jim was transferred to Quantico and then the Pentagon, during which time the family settled into their farm known as Hidden Hollow in Warrenton, VA. Here, Sally and Jeff joined in the equestrian sport showing and raising horses. Ruth joined the Ashland Bassetts where she began a long sporting career. She held the titles of Joint Master, Field Master, and Master at various times between 1976-2003 and even secured a photo feature in GQ Magazine’s coverage of the rise of the sport. She and her family also regularly attended the Old Dominion Point to Point Races, holding their signature spot 83 for 25+ years. She joined The Blue Ridge Garden Club where she collected blue, red, yellow, and white ribbons year after year. In 1968, she and Jim visited Maine, where they fell in love with the outdoors, skiing, and snow. “Just to be outside, in the beauty and the exercise. And I can do it!” said Ruth during a feature on cross country skiing in “The Original Irregular.” They built the first of two homes in Maine, the first of which they sold to build their farm in Hume, VA in 1987. The couple returned to Maine to build their second home in Rangley where they spent several months every year. Their children, grandchildren, and great children visited often, falling in love with the snow, skiing, and simplicity of nature as Ruth and Jim did. Ruth taught second and first graders at Highland School. She also became an avid quilter and knitter. Wicker weaving and rug braiding rounded out her artistic skills and hobbies. Ruth has eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her brother Alden Boyd, husband Lieutenant Colonel James Jay Wilson, and son Doug Wilson. A memorial service will be held at Leeds Manor Church (4332 Leeds Manor Road, Markham, VA 22643) at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, August 14. A reception is following in the Parish Hall. Gifts may be made in Ruth’s honor to the Ashland Bassets at P.O. Box 184, Warrenton VA, 20188.

Gordon Cecil Funkhouser Gordon Cecil Funkhouser, age 71, of Warrenton, VA was called home by God on Wednesday, July 28th, 2021. A Fauquier resident all his life, he was born in Warrenton on January 26th, 1950, son of the late Cecil and Sylvia Funkhouser. Gordon was a man of deep and heartfelt faith, and an active lifelong member of Midland Church of the Brethren. He was a graduate of Fauquier High School, class of 1968, and earned an associate’s degree in Automotive Mechanics from Northern Virginia Community College. Gordon started work with his father at Funkhouser’s Garage at age eleven, and after 18 years, he went on to work for the Town of Warrenton in 1979. He served as Chief Mechanic, and repaired and maintained everything from weed-eaters to automobiles to large machinery until his retirement in 2016. Gordon was diligent and hard-working in his professional and family responsibilities, but also a generous sharer of stories, jokes, and words of encouragement. Gordon cared deeply for his family, and though he had no children of his own, he loved and greatly enjoyed his many nieces and nephews. He and his late wife, Judy, helped to raise their beloved nephew, Benjamin Cooke until his untimely death while serving in the U.S. Army in 2008. Gordon always had a tender spot for children and animals. Gordon’s hobby in his retirement was sharing his blessings with others. He loved ushering and doing “children’s story” during the church service, prayed for those in need, gave generously to many charities, and delighted in buying meals for friends and strangers alike whenever he went out to eat. Gordon is survived by his sweetheart, Erin Olinger; his two siblings, Shirley Brooks and her husband, Johnny, and Michael Funkhouser and his wife, Ruth; his dear cousin Hazel Bohling and her husband, Ken; his mother-in-law, Mildred Cooke; his in-laws Patsy and Dwight Coffman, Revonda and Paul Layton, and Charles Wesley and Billie-Jayne Cooke; eleven beloved nieces and nephews and numerous extended family and friends.

Barbara Ann Lewis

When a loved one dies, family members must make dozens of decisions about the funeral, all of which must be made quickly and under emotional duress. What kind of funeral should it be? Many funeral providers offer various packages of goods and services for different funeral types. There is also the option to buy these goods and services separately as some packages may contain unnecessary items. It’s a good idea to ask for a price list of provided services, and the law requires funeral homes to offer one. Laws regarding funerals vary from state to state, and it’s prudent to know which goods and services are required by law and which are optional. If possible, consider choosing in advance.

Barbara Ann Lewis, 83, of Warrenton, VA, passed July 24, 2021. A graveside service will be held on Saturday, August 7, 2021, 11 am, at Mt. Morris Baptist Church, 5342 Leeds Manor Road, Hume, VA, 22639. Online condolences can be given at www.joynesfuneralhome.com
