Salisbury resident Brant Jones was a dedicated baseball player for the Longwood University Lancers from 2007-2011. Over his four-year career, Jones maintained a .372 batting average with 20 home runs and ranks among the top in several career statistics, including hits (240) and triples. His notable achievements include a 22-game hitting streak, the fourth-best in program history and earning VaSID All-State Second-Team honors his senior year.

Now that Brant is a father of three wonderful children in Salisbury, he takes on the dual role of head coach and proud father to Grayson, who plays for the RBA South Vipers travel team. Together, they’ve embarked on a baseball journey filled with excitement, teamwork, and personal growth over the past three years.

As they continue to build this foundation, Brant’s advice for newcomers is simple: “Keep it fun for the kids.” When they lose interest, the drive to improve fades. With a strong commitment to teamwork and enjoyment, Brant and Grayson are setting the stage for many successful seasons ahead with the Vipers.

The Kearfott’s fenced-in flower and vegetable garden on Kings Lynn is a vibrant oasis nestled in their side yard, overflowing with color and life. Jules adores spending time there with their dog Lemon (AKA Lu Lu), surrounded by buzzing bees and fluttering butterflies, particularly the monarchs drawn to her Mexican sunflowers. The striking orange blooms not only beautify the space but also provide sustenance for the local pollinators, making it a hub of activity. Jules’s garden isn't just about flowers; she's also cultivating a variety of vegetables, including every variety of tomatoes, okra, zucchini, potatoes, bell peppers, jalapenos, cauliflower, corn and carrots. She also grows basil and oregano.

This evolving garden represents both a personal sanctuary and a joyful adventure in gardening, where every season brings the ultimate opportunity for growth and discovery - a pastime that she, David, and Lemon all enjoy!

A local landmark on Huguenot Road in Midlothian, CowanGates Law Firm embodies a rich history of dedication and personal touch, attributes that are deeply rooted in the story of its president, Neil Cowan. Since 1977, CowanGates has provided individuals, families, military personnel, and businesses with legal services based on a standard of excellence. Their practice specializes in personal injury, family law and divorce, business and corporate law, estate law, criminal defense, real estate, eminent domain, and local government. The firm's legacy stretches back to Neil’s father, Frank Cowan, a former professional baseball pitcher who transitioned to law with remarkable success after an unforeseen turn in his career.

Today, CowanGates Law Firm continues to thrive, rooted in the principles that shaped its beginnings. “We’re not just a law firm; we’re part of this community,” Neil emphasizes. “And that’s something my father always believed in—building relationships and making a difference.” Many of the current partners were mentored by Frank Cowan, continuing the tradition of personalized client care and community involvement. Their approach is rooted in storytelling, akin to the persuasive narratives used in the courtroom, which has become a hallmark of CowanGates Law Firm's practice.

For 47 years, CowanGates Law Firm has evolved alongside Midlothian’s growth, adapting to the changing landscape while maintaining its foundational values. As Neil puts it, “It’s about more than just practicing law; it’s about continuing a legacy of care and dedication that started with my father and is very much alive today.”

The Kicklers’ Backyard Oasis: A Kaleidoscope of Light, Creativity, and Family Fun.

In Salisbury, the Kickler family’s backyard has become a vibrant canvas of creativity and family enjoyment over the past 11 years. Their landscape, a striking blend of light and shadow, is the result of thoughtful design and hard work, including the removal of 23 trees to open up their outdoor space.

Over the years, the Kickler family has turned their landscape into a dynamic space that evolves with their creative ideas. From the pink flamingo watercraft to the ongoing treehouse build, their backyard is a true reflection of their love for family, fun, and imaginative design. It’s a place where light dances through the trees and every corner holds a story of shared moments and personal touches.

Angus Dentistry is celebrating 50 years of dentistry! Check out the October issue of Stroll Salisbury & Rosemont to read the entire article by Rebecca Angus, DDS.

"As I reflect on the past 50 years of Angus Dentistry, I am filled with gratitude for the legacy my family has built in Midlothian, Virginia. Founded in 1974 by my father, Dr. Frank Angus, and my uncle, Dr. Bill Angus, this practice has become a center for exceptional dental care and patient compassion. Growing up in this environment, I began working here at age 12 and continued through my education, inspired by the impact my family had on our community.

In 2012, I took the helm of the practice, a transition that felt both thrilling and daunting. I was determined to honor my father and uncle’s dedication while bringing my own vision to life. Our commitment has always been about more than just dental care; it’s about how we treat our patients from their very first call to the office. I’ve always believed that creating a welcoming and caring atmosphere is essential.

As I continue this journey, I’m proud to uphold the values that have defined Angus Dentistry. It has been an honor to contribute to this legacy, and I look forward to many more years of exceptional care in our community. Thank you, Midlothian, for your unwavering support over the last five decades!"

Stroll Salisbury & Rosemont want to welcome ButterCups Cakery & Sweet Boutique to the team as one of our perferred clients.

Here is a little bit about them from owner Kristine Roberts.

"My name is Kristine... Owner, Baker and Sweet Artist at ButterCups Cakery & Sweet Boutique. I am a nurse by profession, momma of four, and lover of creating treasured life moments with love and sugar.

Looking back on my inspiration, I fondly remember growing up in a home where the ambience of incredible parties accented with perfect music, conversation and the distinct aroma of exquisite culinary treats warmed the air. The beauty of expression through the loving detail my mother put into her creations is something I am undoubtedly blessed to have observed, learned from and carry forward. Her multi-course dinner menus, beautifully decorated Wilton cakes, gorgeous glittering tablescapes and authentic ethnic recipes always set the stage for the perfect guest experience .

When I close my eyes I remember how these times were always shared with family and friends. I remember the settings, the personal details in take home party favors and the smiles as people marveled at the glorious cake at the center of the table.
It has been my dream to recreate these treasured memories and personal experiences for you and for those you treasure.Through the art of baking and the beauty of flavor, it is my wish to create your vision with just that personal touch, to genuinely express how very important this occasion is to your heart.
​
No matter the celebration..the pure joy of a wedding, the soft sweetness of a new baby, milestone birthday, housewarming, anniversary or holiday....It will be my honor and pleasure to bring the gift of sweet love to your table."
