Supervisors defer vote on Bristow data centers
People protest along Prince William Parkway Tuesday, Feb. 7 ahead of a board of county supervisors’ meeting on a proposed rezoning for the “Devlin Technology Park,” a plan to allow 14 new data centers near Devlin and Linton Hall roads. The supervisors voted 7-0 to defer the vote until March 7.

After hearing from about 80 people who voiced nearly universal opposition to the proposed Devlin Technology Park due to concerns about living near a “noisy concrete jungle,” the Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted unanimously early Wednesday morning to defer until March 7 a decision on the new data center campus slated for Bristow. The decision came just after 3 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 8, after more than five hours of public comment during which only a handful of speakers – all representatives of regional trade unions – voiced support for developer Stanley Martin’s request to rezone 270 acres at Devlin and Linton Hall roads for a new data center campus of up to 14 buildings. Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Oc-
coquan, made the motion to defer the vote after supervisors spent more than 90 minutes after the public hearing discussing ideas aimed at mitigating the impacts of the new data centers on several surrounding communities. The project is slated for undeveloped land near Amberleigh Station, Silver Leaf Estates, Lanier Farms, Sheffield Manor, Crossman’s Creek and Victory Lakes. The property abuts Chris Yung Elementary School and is within about a mile of several other schools, including Piney Branch Elementary, Gainesville Middle and Gainesville High School. Boddye asked Stanley Martin to double its buffers between the data center property and nearby residential properties and schools from 100 to 200 feet in an effort to shield schools and residents from noise from the data center complex. Boddye then suggested that the

new data centers be limited to only the portion of the 270-acre parcel that lies northeast of a future extension of University Boulevard. That idea was an effort to use the road to further separate the data centers from the homes and Chris Yung Elementary School. Stanley Martin is seeking to rezone the area from “planned mixed residential” to light industrial, a designation
that would allow for data centers. But those discussions, which began at about 1:30 a.m., broke down amid questions about how such changes would alter the existing “master zoning plan” for the property, which was approved in 2020 and allows for 516 single-family homes. See VOTE, page 2
Supervisors’ top donors: unions, data center developers By Cher Muzyk and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers
Campaign contributions to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors from real estate developers and related entities are nothing new. In the last six months of 2022, however, the supervisors’ top benefactors – those who gave $10,000 or more – were comprised not only of real estate developers but also those with ties to local data center projects, including the Prince William Digital Gateway and Devlin Technology Park, as well as labor unions that have voiced support for data center expansion. From July 1 to Dec. 31, 2022, the bulk of those donations were directed toward four Democratic supervisors: Board Chair Ann Wheeler (At Large) and Supervisors Andrea Bailey (Potomac), Kenny Boddye (Occoquan) and Margaret Franklin (Woodbridge). Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, did not

Only Wheeler returned an email seeking comment on the donations, saying that campaign contributions are required to be reported by law. “The goal is to provide transparency,” she said.

Supervisors defer vote on Bristow data centers VOTE, from page 1 “That’s the problem when you try to cobble something together at 2 in the morning,” said Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, whose district includes the area. Lawson and Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, noted that Boddye was effectively proposing a smaller rezoning. Further discussion determined Boddye’s plan could result in a mix of about 135 homes and an undetermined number of data center buildings. But Lawson noted the change would require a complete rewrite of proffer agreements, or legally binding conditions, associated with both the previous and current rezoning applications, which was later confirmed by county attorney Michelle Robl. Lawson also refused to agree to any amount of data centers in the area, calling them “unacceptable” to the residents who showed up in force to speak against the data center complex during the public hearing. “The community absolutely wants to keep it all residential,” Lawson said. “I don’t believe what Supervisor Boddye is proposing is what the Brentsville District wants. They want it all residential.” Wheeler said she believes rezoning the area for data centers is “a compromise” since area residents have long resisted more housing in Bristow. Back in 2013, the area was slated to become a massive residential development known as “Stone Haven,” which at one time proposed about 1,600 new homes. After that plan died amid resident opposition, the supervisors included part of the area in the county’s “data center opportunity zone overlay district,” which was adopted in 2016, and then rezoned another 200 nearby acres for data centers in 2021. “How did we get here? Because people didn’t want housing,” Wheeler said. “Part of it was that they just didn’t want anything there because they didn’t want changes.” Lawson replied that residents resisted Stone Haven at a time when roads and schools were already overcrowded due to a spurt in residential growth. Now, Lawson said, residents are open to more housing given the opening of additional schools in the Linton Hall corridor as well as road improvements. “We heard from multiple teachers. We heard from school counselors. We heard from HOA presidents. We heard from a police officer,” Lawson Residents opposed to the Devlin Technology Park protested outside the James J. McCoart Building prior to the board of supervisors’ Feb. 7 meeting

Lawson acknowledged that she initially was open to allowing data centers in the area but has since changed her mind given the ongoing issue with data center noise and the size of the buildings Stanley Martin is proposing. “This is the tipping point for me,” Lawson said. “The applicant has not been able to meet the satisfaction of the people I represent. And with that, I’m just not able to support a project of data centers there and I move for denial for that reason.” Lawson’s motion was seconded by Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, but the motion died in a 2-5 party-line vote with only Vega and Lawson voting in favor while the board’s Democratic supervisors, Boddye, Wheeler and Supervisors Victor Angry (Neabsco), Andrea Bailey (Potomac) and Margaret Franklin (Woodbridge), voted against it. Finally, Wheeler asked Boddye to offer his compromise, which seemed an attempt to revive the idea of rezoning a smaller area for data centers. But Boddye switched gears and proposed his own deferral, saying the board still has work to do on several issues, including whether Stanley Martin’s promise to keep the fu-
ture data centers from violating the county’s noise ordinance for residential areas can be enforced. The application includes a novel but complicated proffer involving noise that proposes hiring a third-party contractor, at the expense of the future data center operator, to conduct noise studies before and after the buildings are constructed and to deal with any noise complaints. Stanley Martin is not building the data centers but rather trying to rezone the land to sell it to a data center developer, said Truett Young, the company’s vice president for Northern Virginia land acquisitions. That means that an entity other than Stanley Martin would have to carry out the promise. Data center noise has become a huge issue since complaints surfaced last summer about an Amazon Web Service complex of four data centers recently built near the Great Oak subdivision outside Manassas. Lawson repeatedly voiced doubts about the noise proffer, noting that the county staff report raised questions about whether the county had the staff or the expertise to enforce it. “We can spin it all we want, but the reality is, these are proffers that have never been tested,” Lawson said earlier in the meeting. Boddye seemed to agree with that position when he made his motion to defer the vote. “We don’t know completely where we are with this noise issue,”
he said. “I hesitate to go full bore into this, knowing we don’t know what we don’t know. … I want to move now to defer this, so we have a chance to work collaboratively to get a handle on this.” Wheeler said the board should defer the vote to a “date certain” and initially suggested taking the matter up again as soon as next week. But Boddye and Lawson pushed back on that idea, saying that wouldn’t allow enough time. In the end, the board agreed to defer the vote until Tuesday, March 7. The timing will allow the board to seat a new Gainesville District supervisor, who will be named after an upcoming Feb. 21 special election. The seat is vacant due to the December resignation of former supervisor Pete Candland, who resigned due to conflict-of-interest issues after signing a contract to sell his own home and land to a data center involved in the Prince William Digital Gateway development. The lack of a Gainesville District supervisor was a main point of contention among residents who came out to oppose the Devlin Technology Park. About 50 residents staged a protest along Prince William Parkway at 5 p.m. on Tuesday night and then held a press conference with a giant banner reading: “SAVE BRISTOW FROM DATA CENTERS.” Residents pleaded with the board throughout the public hearing to deny the plan, which some called “ridiculous,” “heartbreaking” and “insane.” Josh Atkinson, a resident of Sheffield Manor, said he and his neighbors would rather Stanley Martin build homes instead of data centers. “I would much rather hear kids laughing and the sound of a neighborhood than the sound of a generator,” he said. Kevin Smith, the president of the Sheffield Manor homeowners association, said the community’s 2,000 residents are “firmly opposed” to the rezoning. “Leaders do not compromise with wrong, and this proposal is wrong,” Smith said. “Anything less than an unanimous vote to deny the proposal is a neglect of duty and a misuse of office against the residents of the Brentsville District. Prince William County is not a for-profit county. Prince William County is for residents.” Anya Sczerzenie contributed to this report. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com HOW TO REACH US

Olde Towne Inn purchase was 2 years in the making, mayor says By Cher Muzyk
Times Staff Writer
The City of Manassas is set to purchase the Olde Towne Inn for $5.75 million and hopes to engage the public on what should take its place in the heart of the city. The Manassas Economic Development Authority voted to buy the hotel at a special meeting on Thursday, Feb. 1, and the city council is expected to finalize the purchase soon, according to Manassas Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger and other city officials. The Olde Towne Inn, located at 9403 Main St., sits at the center of old town Manassas, only a block away from the train station. Constructed in the 1960s, the hotel has been in operation ever since and has been owned for the last 30 years by Gita and Dharmesh Shingala, of Clifton. After two years of negotiations with the Shingalas, conducted in large part by Davis-Younger, the city announced the deal on Thursday morning, Feb. 2. Davis-Younger said she cultivated a personal relationship with the couple over the past two years, and they came to trust her vision that it was time for the Olde Towne Inn to be replaced with “something amazing,” the mayor said. The Shingalas bought the hotel as an investment almost three decades

ago. They recently moved to Florida, and so the timing was right for everyone involved, Davis-Younger said. “They wanted to be a part of something amazing for the city. And they wanted it to happen during my term,” she added. While no plans have been made for what will replace the Olde Towne Inn, Davis-Younger said whatever goes in “will obviously be a revenue maker for the city.” People have identified the Olde Towne Inn as “frankly an eyesore” for quite some time, Councilman Mark Wolfe (D) said, while the council saw it as an “underutilized economic opportunity.” The value of the square city block in the heart of Old Town Manassas is not just economic but also “in the ®
quality of life that we can create for our community,” Wolfe said. The parcel was the largest piece of property to be incorporated into the downtown area in terms of new businesses, retail and people living downtown, Councilman Tom Osina (D) said. Osina said the city’s purchase of the property raises concerns about displacing the people who call Olde Towne Inn home. “There are people of limited means who live and rent there,” Osina said. “One of the things I’ll be looking out for as we deal with the property is where they will end up. … I just want to make sure they are not tossed out into the street.” Wolfe said that while discussions about those living at the hotel haven’t happened yet, he doesn’t see the city operating the hotel on a long-term
basis. In his view, the city should consider honoring any existing leases and then work with the city’s social services staff to identify housing options for those residents. The EDA will conduct due diligence on the site over the next 60 days and has the right to assign the contract to the council to complete the purchase, according to a city press release. The council is planning to gather input from the community to determine future uses of the site and how to best serve the city and its citizens, several councilmembers said. Councilwoman Theresa Coates Ellis (R), the lone Republican on the council, praised Davis-Younger for successfully brokering the deal. “That particular parcel has been on the radar of many people for a long time,” she said. Ellis said the $5.75 million price tag was “under market value.” “I’m looking at it as a good investment for the city,” she added. Davis-Younger said that as she nurtured the project, she thought about the needs of the city and said a new hotel with large meeting spaces could be a fit. “The possibilities are endless,” Davis-Younger said, “I would love for this to be my legacy in the city -- my footprint.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com

Superintendent’s proposed budget adds 300 positions, boosts teacher pay by 5% By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County Superintendent LaTanya McDade has proposed a $1.6 billion budget for the coming school year that School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef called “slightly tighter than prior budgets” but still adds about 300 new positions while offering teachers and staff a 5% salary increase. The spending plan reflects a 6.9% increase over the school division’s current budget and projects an enrollment of 91,631 students next fall. That’s about 1,400 more than were enrolled as of Sept. 30, 2022, and a slight uptick from the pre-pandemic 2019 enrollment of 91,526. Like many school divisions across the country, Prince William County saw enrollment at its 100 public schools dip by about 2,400 students from 2019 to 2020, but its numbers have since rebounded over the past two years. In presenting the budget on Wednesday, Feb. 1, McDade noted that the tens of millions in COVID-19 relief funding the school division has received since 2020 “is coming to an end, but the needs of our students have grown.” Accordingly, McDade explained that the budget will use local funds to continue to pay for about 76 positions that were added during the pandemic with the help of COVID-19 relief money. They include 62 parent
Superintendent LaTanya McDade liaison positions and 14 instructional coaches, which will cost the school division about $3.7 million. The budget also dedicates about $3.7 million to cover the 65.5 “security assistants” that were hired this year to provide a uniformed guards at each of the county’s elementary schools, which are generally not assigned a “school resource officer.” Each high school and three middle schools have their own SROs, which are all sworn Prince William County police officers, while the remaining 14 middle schools share officers that rotate among the schools. About one-third of the new positions are listed under “learning and achievement.” They include 75 additional special-education teacher assistants, projected to cost about $2.8 million. That’s on top of the 100
special ed teacher assistants and the 88 kindergarten classroom assistants that were added last year. Not included in the budget, however, is an allocation for the weapon-detection systems the school board discussed during their joint meeting with the Prince William Board of County Supervisors last week. The school board is considering installing “Evolv Express” systems at all 30 middle and high schools as soon as next school year. But because the board hasn’t made a final decision, the estimated $10 to $15 million cost is not included in the budget, Lateef said in an interview after the school board meeting. During the meeting, McDade announced that the Evolve systems would be set up for the public to try at three upcoming meetings around the county. They are scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 22 at Gainesville High School; Monday, Feb. 27 at Freedom High School; and Tuesday, Feb. 28 at Woodbridge Senior High School, all at 7 p.m. A special webinar on the systems will be offered on Thursday, March 2, also at 7 p.m., she said. “We want to hear from the public. What if the public comes, and they are overwhelmingly against it? We may not want to move forward with it,” Lateef said in an interview after the meeting. “We suspect that the public, just from what we’re hearing,

are behind it.” Lateef said that if the public reaction is positive, the school board expects to ask for additional funding from the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to pay for the equipment. The school division gets about 44% of its overall funding from Prince William County’s general fund tax dollars, which primarily come from real estate taxes and personal property or car taxes. The school division also gets a share of the county’s 4% meals tax and a new tax on cigarettes, which the supervisors imposed for the current fiscal year. Under the county’s “revenue sharing agreement,” 57.23% of all the county’s general fund tax revenue goes to the school division. The school division is expecting about $777.4 million in funding from the county next school year, which is an increase of about $57.4 million or 8% over the current year, according to the budget documents shared on the school division website. The school division was expecting to receive about $761.6 million in state funding for next school year, or an increase of about 4%. But the division could see that cut by $10.7 million, however, as a result of a mistake by the Virginia Department of Education that overstated school divisions’ state funding by about $200 million across the state.

Police: 26-year-old Manassas man dies after train strikes a pickup truck in Haymarket 26-year-old Manassas man was killed, and a Manassas Park man injured Monday night when their pickup truck was struck by a train in Haymarket, according to Prince William County police. Emerson Lisandro Martinez Mejia, 26, of Manassas, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which was reported to police at about 6:31 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 6, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. The police investigation determined that the driver of a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, a 42-year-old Manassas Park man, was heading north on Kapp Valley Way when he allegedly disregarded a posted stop sign prior to the railroad crossing and crossed over the
tracks. The truck was then struck by a passing cargo train, Carr said in a news release. The impact of the collision caused the truck to temporarily leave the roadway and land upright several hundred feet from the railroad crossing in an easement of the railroad tracks between U.S. 15 and Kapp Valley Road, the release said. Fire and rescue personnel responded to the crash and pronounced Mejia dead at the scene. The driver was extricated from the truck and flown to an area hospital where his injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening, the release said. No other injuries were reported. The investigation into the crash continues, Carr said.

Supervisors’ top donors: unions, data center developers DONORS, from page 1 The supervisors other top donors during the last six months of 2022 included:
RK Realty, LLC: $21,000 to Wheeler, Boddye and Franklin
RK Realty has long represented Edith Rameika, a trustee of the E.V. Hunter Trust, which owned about 450 acres near Devlin and Linton Hall roads. The trust sold about 270 acres in that area to residential developer Stanley Martin in February 2022 for about $81 million. That’s the same property Stanley Martin is now seeking to develop into data centers as the proposed Devlin Technology Park. The E.V. Hunter Trust sold another 180 acres in the same area to LHR LLC, an entity owned by Chuck Kuhn, owner of JK Moving, who won a rezoning in September 2021 to build data centers there. RK Realty, LLC lists a home in Clifton as its address on state corporation records. The home is also owned by the E.V. Hunter Trust. RK Realty is no longer licensed for real estate transactions in Virginia, having let its license expire in December 2022, according to state records. RK Realty, LLC has given more than $86,000 to political candidates on both sides of the aisle over about the past decade, with slightly more going to Democrats -- $43,000 -- than to Republicans, who received $38,800. In the last six months of 2022, RK Realty, LLC gave $10,000 to Wheeler, $10,00 to Boddye and $1,000 to Franklin. RK Realty, LLC also gave $10,000 to Angry in November 2021, and $10,000 to Bailey in April 2022.
IBEW: $20,000 to Bailey, Boddye and Franklin
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a labor union, donated $10,000 to Boddye, $5,000 to Bailey and $5,000 to Franklin in the last few weeks of 2022. IBEW’s local affiliate union is Local 26, and it is one of the largest union affiliates in metropolitan Washington, D.C., serving electrical workers across D.C., Virginia and Maryland. Local 26 has 10,073 dues-paying members according to its most recent annual report filed with the U.S. Department of Labor. It also reported having 2,514 apprentices and trainees in September 2022, according to its annual report. Demand for electrical workers is on the rise as a result of data center construction. On its website, the IBEW calls data center construction “a 21st century goldrush” and notes that “in the 130-year history of the IBEW, there has never been anything quite like the explosive growth of the data center business.” Nearly 40% of IBEW Local 26’s membership works on data centers and has for a decade, according to its website. The IBEW considers the area between Ashburn and Manassas the
“global heart” of the data center industry, “which boasts the largest concentration of data centers in the world” and is still growing, its website says. In a WTOP interview sponsored by the Data Center Coalition, Joseph Dabbs, Local 26’s financial secretary, said Local 26 “helped secure” the Prince William Digital Gateway, a proposal to open 2,100 acres adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park to data centers. He also said the development is worth about $30 billion in work that “will keep electricians busy for at least the next 15 years.” In 2022, the IBEW also contributed $25,000 to Jennifer Carroll Foy, who is vying for the Democratic nomination in the new 33rd District state Senate seat, as well as $12,500 to Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, and $5,000 to Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st. Both McPike and Guzman are vying for the Democratic nomination for the newly drawn 29th District state Senate seat in the upcoming June Democratic primary. IBEW also gave $5,000 to Manassas City Council member Sonia Vasquez Luna (D) and $2,000 to Prince William School Board member Justin Wilk, a Democrat who represents the Potomac District.
NOVA Labor Federation AFL-CIO: $15,000 to Bailey, Boddye and Franklin
NOVA Labor contributed $5,000 each to Bailey, Boddye and Franklin in the last quarter of 2022. NOVA Labor Federation AFLCIO is the Northern Virginia affiliate of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations and is comprised of 72 local unions and 56,000 working people. Its mission is to help Virginia workers join and form unions and to support them during bargaining for fair wages and benefits, according to its Facebook page. NoVa Labor threw its support behind the creation of the PW Digital Gateway in the fall of 2021 because of the jobs the data center project would create. The Digital Gateway proposal would provide opportunities “for residents from underserved communities to get into good apprenticeship programs” in a rapidly expanding industry, Virginia Diamond, executive director for NOVA Labor, told the Prince William Times in the fall of 2021. In 2022, NOVA Labor also contributed $5,000 to both Guzman and Vasquez Luna.
Jeff Mulhausen: $12,500 to Wheeler, Bailey, Boddye and Franklin
Jeff Mulhausen, 46, who lists his address in McLean, has contributed a combined total of $12,500 to four Democratic supervisors: $5,000 to Wheeler and $2,500 each to Bailey, Boddye and Franklin. All of the donations were made in December 2022. According to the Virginia Public Access Project, these are the first campaign donations Mulhausen has made in Virginia. Details about Mulhausen are scarce, however. He identified his employer as “Andrina” in the “Information Technology-Software” in-
dustry when he made the campaign contributions. Mulhausen also lists Andrina Biosolutions as his employer on his LinkedIn profile. Andrina Biosolutions website “http://www. andrinabio.com/” is a dead link. The company does not appear as a registered entity in the Virginia State Corporation Commission online database. Two online databases, USAOPPs. com and virginiabids.us, list Andrina Biosolutions as a corporation established in 2009 with Mulhausen as the only contact person. The databases both list the address of the business as 8350 Greensboro Drive, Suite 416, in McLean, which is a one bedroom, one bath unit in the Rotonda condominium complex. A document obtained by the Prince William Times indicates that Mulhausen is a friend and business associate of Dori Burner, a Pageland Lane landowner, who has sought to help her neighbors along nearby Sanders Lane develop an extension of the Digital Gateway data center corridor. The document says Mulhausen assisted Burner in organizing an assemblage of 91 properties totaling 805 acres in the Digital Gateway planning area and shopped them to more than 30 data center builders at a proposed price of $1 million an acre. Mulhausen recently donated $6,000 to McPike and Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, on Jan. 10, the day before the Virginia General Assembly convened for its 2023 legislative session.

Mulhausen did not return multiple requests for comment.
Michael Garcia: $12,500 to Wheeler, Bailey, Boddye and Franklin
Michael Garcia is a real estate developer who owns Michael Garcia Homes based in Woodbridge. He also owns 10 acres in the Trappers Ridge subdivision, which is included in the Digital Gateway planning area. Garcia has signed a contract to sell those acres to Compass data centers, which has filed a rezoning application to build data centers in the Digital Gateway area, according to county documents. Garcia is no stranger to contributing to political campaigns across Virginia and has been an active donor locally, having donated to the campaigns of each of the current supervisors in recent years according to VPAP. While his personal campaign contributions historically favor Republican candidates nearly two to one, most recently he has contributed $12,500 to the four Democrats on the board -- $5,000 to Wheeler and $2,500 each to Bailey, Boddye and Franklin in December 2022. Garcia was also named as a real estate development stakeholder and was interviewed in October 2021 as part of a study of Prince William County’s Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District, which was performed by private contractor Stantec.

Superintendent’s proposed budget adds 300 positions, boosts teacher pay by 5% BUDGET, from page 4
The mistake was the result of a funding calculator on the VDOE website that failed to incorporate the state’s “local composite index.” The multiplier is tied to the relative wealth of Virginia localities and adjusts state funding based on the amount of local tax revenues generated in each county. The mistake translates into a $4 million reduction in expected state funding for Prince William County schools this year, school division Chief Financial Officer John Wallvelopment (OHCD) ingford said during theismeeting. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has called n wasondeveloped in to make up the General Assembly the difference for school divisions, but compliance with
ce William County tive Plan
that fix has not yet been announced. If the state doesn’t come through with the full amount, the school division will have to “sharpen our pencils … and probably make some tough decisions about what we might not be able to do,” McDade said. “Sharpen knives for cuts,” Lateef added. Already baked into the budget is the extra $41 million Prince William County transferred to the school division last month as a result of unexpectedly high local tax revenues in the current fiscal year. That money will be used to offset rising construction costs for capital improvement projects, Wallingford said in an
interview after the meeting. Expected state and local tax revenues are preliminary and are subject to the final approval of the state and county budgets. Overall, McDade’s proposed budget reflects a significantly smaller revenue boost than the school division enjoyed for this school year. The 2022-23 budget offered a 14% increase in revenue over the previous year, largely driven by a 20% increase in state funding, which was one of the largest year-over-year increases ever, Lateef and Wallingford said. Teachers and staff received a 7% salary increase for the current year, and salaries of some mid-level
teaching positions got larger boosts to make them more competitive with surrounding school divisions. Lateef prefaced the budget discussion by noting that previous teacher and staff raises have resulted in the school division offering the third-highest starting salary in the state for beginning teachers and the fourth highest for starting teachers with master’s degrees. Attempts to contact Prince William Education Association President Maggie Hansford for comment about the proposed raises were not immediately successful Thursday, Feb. 2.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM
Prince William Times | February 9, 2023
Where is the Washington Post’s coverage of data centers and climate change? On Nov. 28, Washington Post Executive Editor Sally Buzbee touted their expanded climate coverage. On Jan. 24, I received their special “Climate Solutions” edition. I e-mailed Climate & Environment Editor Zachary Goldfarb to ask if the Post is really sincere about combating climate change or merely paying it lip service. Many readers find it curious that the Post gives generous coverage to environmental issues in far off third world regions but ignores the same issues in its own backyard. My multiple requests to the Post’s editorial staff to address environmental threats right here in the Washington D.C. metro area have been routinely ignored. Is there a reason? On Jan. 20, Amazon, whose founder and executive chairman is Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Post, announced a plan to expand its data center development ambitions
in Virginia in exchange for lucrative tax incentives. There is little doubt that this announcement was timed to undermine legislation that had been introduced in the Virginia General Assembly to restrict the adverse impacts of excessive data center development on sensitive natural and historic areas. The outsized influence of bigtech money is already threatening the very sovereignty of our local and state governments. Why don’t the Post’s reporters ask Amazon why data center development cannot be accomplished in a more environmentally responsible manner? Why can’t taxpayer subsidies be used to divert development toward rural Virginia, where there is greater economic need and more compatible siting options? The Post’s motto is “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” It also dies in sunshine, right under your nose. BILL WRIGHT Gainesville
Prince William County supervisors need a wake-up call on data centers Something is disturbingly wrong when elected members of the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors take the side of large-lot land developers and data center “bully corporations” over the interests and concerns of their constituents. Data center developers are not good neighbors when they want to place data centers next to residential communities. They are not concerned about the health and welfare of the residential communities. Data centers overshadow homes with noise, overwhelm residents with health risks and marginalize homeowners’ property values. Ninety-foot-tall data centers do not belong next to residential neighborhoods. A 2019 Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission report to the governor and General Assembly on data centers found that
Virginia received back only 72 cents for every dollar lost to data center tax incentives while creating very few jobs. That money-losing proposition was judged “moderately successful.” Because of their parasitic nature, data centers are a bad and risky investment. Why are the Prince William supervisors wasting county tax money on a bad investment? The supervisors certainly would not make a bad investment of their own personal money in an investment that only pays 72 cents and loses 22 cents on every dollar invested. It’s time for a “wake-up call” to the supervisors: Stop dragging Prince William County into a bad investment. Listen to and represent your constituents. DELTON NICHOLS Manassas

Bob Weir was there for Thoroughfare. He’s the right choice for Gainesville, too Almost three years ago, I sent a mass email to various organizations and people seeking help and guidance in dealing with the devastation of one of my family’s historic cemeteries due to it being completely bulldozed. Our access was blocked to another family cemetery, and property that had long been in our family was being taken and sold without our knowledge. One of the first responses I received was from Bob Weir. He said he had heard of the devastation suffered by my family and community. I had never met him and had no idea who he was, but without hesitation he offered to help me, a complete stranger, in any way possible. He said he felt we were up against power and greed. He promised his complete support and help. Bob was instrumental in building a strong factual foundation of defense against those who threatened my family, our history, our cemeteries and our community. His knowledge of county codes, zoning rules, permits and various court and land records, which revealed how the county handled the sale of land in Thoroughfare, has been invaluable in our fight. But what is even more impressive and heartwarming for me personally is that I found Bob to be a man of his word. I had no doubt he truly cared and empathized with our pain and sense of loss. As he promised, he never wavered in his support. He answered my every call or email. He sought answers and provided answers to my many questions. He was never misleading, and I never felt his actions were self-serving. He was serving my family and community as if it were his own. I’ve heard people say that Bob can come across too direct in vocalizing his point. I find that refreshing. We are surrounded by
leaders who present themselves as one thing to our faces but who are something totally different behind closed doors -- leaders who promise to have our best interest at heart but prove time and time again that it is their self-interest that outweighs our needs and voices as a community. With Bob, what you see is what you get. What he says is what he stands by. What some may call abruptness, I call integrity and a sense of morality and decency. What some call abruptness, I call Bob’s passion for what he believes in and his determination to stand by what is right for you, me and our community. It is a firm stance against the hypocrisy, greed and destruction of our way of life on many levels and in many ways. It has nothing to do with personal gain but everything to do with giving voice to a community that is having its voice shut out and taken away. This is what he helped give Thoroughfare: a voice for those whose voices have historically been shut out, both the dead and the living. There is a saying that goes like this, “When people show you who they are, believe them.” Bob has shown us who he is: a man of integrity with a sense of morality and values personally and politically that serve us all. He has a genuine care and willingness to fight for you, me, our community and our way of life. He does it with passion, conviction and honesty. He uses his knowledge without compromise. That is a change and difference that will truly bring us together – a change we need and deserve as a community. FRANK WASHINGTON Coalition To Save Historic Thoroughfare Broad Run

Passing the torch: Ansa Cox, with her mom, Avis Renshaw, the mom behind Mom’s Apple Pie Co. Cox will be reopening Occoquan’s longtime favorite bakery in March.
Mom’s Apple Pie bakes up something new in Occoquan By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer
Occoquan’s favorite bakery -Mom’s Apple Pie -- closed this month after serving up delicious pies, breads and cookies for its legion of loyal fans for about 20 years. But Mom’s isn’t going away. In March, the owners’ daughter will reopen the shop under a new name, yet to be announced. “Our longtime baking manager, Debbie [Peltola], who I’m sure many of you [have] come to know over the years is retiring, and we felt it was a good time to pass the torch,” wrote the Mom’s Apple Pie Company in a social media post. “I just wanted to have more time with my kids and grandkids,” Peltola said. Ansa Cox, daughter of Mom’s Apple Pie founders and owners, Avis Renshaw and Steve Cox, is ready to run with that torch. Ansa’s mom, Avis Renshaw, is the “mom” behind Mom’s Apple Pie. “It’s exciting and overwhelming and everything in between,” Ansa Cox said. “We’ve been there a long time. It needs to be freshened up.” Ansa Cox said there were a lot of complex things going on for the company administratively. The Occoquan store is the furthest away from Mom’s flagship Leesburg operation. The store also has a location in Round Hill. “We’ve been trying to organize our company better,” Ansa Cox said.
Labor issues such as vacancies or employees out sick in Occoquan were more difficult to manage since the bulk of the operation is in Loudoun County, she said. The Occoquan location has been without a manager for some time. Peltola took on that additional responsibility but had told the company she wanted to retire this year. Ansa Cox has been involved in the family business for a long time, handling its accounting needs. “I’ve had vision ideas for the business, things I think haven’t worked as well that I wanted to shift. We were either going to close the Occoquan location all together or make a big enough shift that makes sense,” she said. “Mom was reluctant to close. It was a really hard thing to think about. We’ve had a nice community there,” Ansa Cox said. “For her, it was too much to consider closing. I’ve always had a whole lot of ideas in terms of managing it better and reining things in. Can we refocus back on the pies? What can we do in terms of management? What can we do in terms of space?” The Occoquan location added beer and wine to its offerings, going further away from the pie business. When the store reopens in March, that will end. Cox said they will refocus on the pies and add new ones. She plans to focus less on the cookies. “We are going to focus on some simple, nice buttery things that are
delicious,” she said. “It seems we have a wonderful clientele. People don’t want us to leave. The town doesn’t want us to leave. We don’t really want to leave, so I want to go there and ensure our quality control is what we want it to be,” Cox said. “We’re very grateful for the contributions of Mom’s to the Occoquan community over the years and are ecstatic, of course, that they are choosing to remain with us in a new form,” Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta recently wrote in an e-newsletter. The Occoquan Town Council also recently adopted a Resolution of Appreciation. “During the time Mom’s Apple Pie has greatly benefited the Occoquan community by not only providing excellent products and services, but by also through its excellence drawing a wide variety of customers and visitors to the town who have also patronized and supported other establishments in Occoquan,” the resolution states, in part. The resolutions also said the bakery has been a favorite of several presidents and first ladies. First Lady Michelle Obama visited the store in 2012 following a campaign event at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1503 in Dale City. Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton ordered pies from Mom’s as did former U.S. Supreme Court Judge Sandra Day O’Connor. “Pies reach across the aisle,” Ansa
Crimson Coward opens in Woodbridge New restaurant is the latest in ‘hot chicken’ spots Staff Reports The hot-chicken craze continues locally with the latest such restaurant to open its doors in Prince William County: Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken in Woodbridge. The restaurant, a franchise, opened in January at 12707 Ridgefield Village Drive, near the new Starbucks at Prince William Parkway and Hoadly Road. The Woodbridge restaurant is the first on the
East Coast for the Los Angeles, California-based chain. Crimson Coward plans to open 25 additional stores in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, according to a news release. The restaurant held a customer appreciation day and ribbon-cutting ceremony over the Feb. 4 to 5 weekend, according to a news release. “The local community has been very supportive and kept our team busy during our opening weeks, so we’re honored to host our first Customer Appreciation Day,” said Nabil Asad, owner of the Woodbridge Crimson Coward, in a news release.
Cox said. Mom’s Apple Pie started out of Renshaw’s and Cox’s house in Herndon back in 1981. The couple also own Lost Corner Farm outside Leesburg in Loudoun County. They started baking pies to make money after an extended drought almost put them out of business. “They knocked out a wall and put in a convection oven or two and started hand peeling apples in the kitchen,” Ansa Cox said. They sold their pies at farmers markets and to neighbors. They then moved the operation to a warehouse space. They did a lot of wholesale business selling to grocery stores, such as Giant and Safeway. Switching gears, they decided to open retail stores where the goods were baked fresh every day. “To me, the refocus will be back to our core goods and expanding on things that I want, and we do not have,” Ansa Cox said. “It’s simple. It’s the quality of the ingredients. It’s not complicated or highly preserved.” “She’s going to put her stamp on it, but the product will be the same,” Peltola said. “I’m tickled pink that they are going to keep it open and in her hands.” “The company said in its post that it was sad to be closing “but very excited it will maintain a family presence in the Occoquan community that we love so much.” Reach Aileen Streng at aileenstreng@gmail.com The staff of the new Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken restaurant in Woodbridge.

The Crimson Coward offers hand-breaded fresh chicken items flavored with a secret blend of more than 16 primary and 32 secondary spices. The restaurant offers five heat levels from which patrons can choose: country (which has no heat), mild, medium, “Crimson-hot,” and “Burn Baby Burn” for those looking to fire up their taste buds.

Nokesville School librarian credits her Jeopardy appearance to a love of reading By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Tanya Parrott, a librarian at The Nokesville School, has loved playing trivia games since she was a fourthgrade student in her native Chazy, New York. So when she was chosen to appear on Jeopardy last year, it was a dream come true. “I’ve watched Jeopardy for years,” Parrott said Monday, Feb. 6. “I was a child of the ’80s, when Trivial Pursuit came out and was the big thing. It has been a longtime dream of mine to be on Jeopardy.” Parrott, 48, of Gainesville, appeared on the national TV game show Monday, Feb. 6. The show aired on WJLA-TV, which is Washington, D.C.’s ABC affiliate, at 7:30 p.m. Parrott flew to Los Angeles to tape the show in early December. Back at The Nokesville School on Monday, Feb. 6, Parrott described her experience on the show as both exciting and nerve-wracking. It was also a long time in the making. Parrott said she first took the online test for Jeopardy contestants about a decade ago. She got invit-
ed to an in-person tryout but didn’t make the cut. Then, about seven years ago, in 2016, she took the online test again and did well enough to screen again for the show. But as it turned out, she couldn’t attend the tryout because she had an interview for a new job at Benton Middle School. The good news: She got the job. That’s when Parrott transferred from Chris Yung Elementary to Benton Middle. She’s been at The Nokesville School for about the past four years, she said. Finally, Parrott took the online test again last spring. She was called for tryout via Zoom. In August, she received an invitation to come to California to appear on the show. Parrott said she had to arrive a day early, on Dec. 7, 2022, to take a COVID test. Thursday, Dec. 8, was showtime. Jeopardy tapes only one day a week and runs through five shows in a single day, she said. The contestants wait for their turn to appear onstage in the studio where Wheel of Fortune is filmed. That’s where Parrott had her hair and makeup done.

Tanya Parrott, a school librarian from Gainesville, Va., competed on Jeopardy on Monday, Feb. 6. “I was just a few feet away from the big wheel!” she said. The taping itself went really quickly, she said. Each round was filmed in just one take. Then, Double Jeopardy and Final Jeopardy were taped in additional takes. Parrott said she has long played trivia with a group of friends who sometimes go to local breweries to compete on trivia nights. The group can be found at Tin Cannon Brewing Co. in Gainesville or at the Farm Brewery at Broad Run. Parrott said one of the best ways to study for Jeopardy or trivia games in general is to read. That’s some-
thing she’s happy to tell her students. “That would be the number one thing I would say: read, read, read – far and wide,” she said. Parrott said she was tickled to hear from her own fourth grade teacher who got in touch with her after reading about her Jeopardy experience in the local paper, the Press-Republican in Plattsburgh, New York. “We talked about what a wonderful education we got in [my] school, that emphasized a love for reading,” Parrott said. “The whole world opens up to you when you love to read.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

POTOMAC PERFECT SINCE DECEMBER
PHOTOS BY DOUG STROUD
Sophomores Olivia Puller (left) and Taylor Allen (right) are two starters for a surging Potomac High girls basketball team that won its first district title since 2013 by outplaying recent champions like Woodbridge and Colgan. The Panthers (15-5) haven’t lost Dec. 10.
Panthers’ girls basketball team has won 15 straight and first district title since 2013 By Matthew Proctor Special to the Times
For many teams, recovering from an 0-5 start would have been difficult. Mentally, the Potomac High girls basketball team never threw in the towel. Since the middle of December, Potomac (15-5, 12-0) has been perfect, ripping off 15 wins in a row and clinching the Cardinal District regular-season title, their first district title since 2013. They dispatched Forest Park 63-26 Tuesday in the season finale. Playoffs begin next week. “When you get a group of girls who work as hard as they do and buy in to what you’re trying to tell them to do,” Potomac coach Shanice Fuller said. “Eventually you’ll start to see the results.” Potomac lost their first five games by an average of 26 points, including 15 and 25-point losses to Cedar Run District powerhouses Patriot and Osbourn Park. With rugged low post star Natayvia Lipscomb graduating last year, Fuller stacked their toughest opponents at the beginning of the season to push the team to find their toughness and to figure out how to play together, without Lipscomb. “I was OK with taking that bump on the chin in the beginning so that in the end we would know who we are
and what we stand for,” Fuller said. “They kept working and put their heads down. We’re start to see progress as a result of our hard work,” Fuller said. “It was rough, but they kept working, kept getting better and it paid off in the end.”
Meet the Panthers
Potomac’s starting lineup is led by senior Lajayla Lipscomb, a doit-all forward who can score, defend and rebound. Lipscomb is most dangerous when she is getting steals and boards and turning them into fastbreaks and putbacks. Best known for her lockdown defense, the starting point guard is sophomore Olivea Puller. “When she’s out on the floor, you can see a difference within our team and how we defend. Her presence, having her there is big for us,” Fuller said. Sophomore Taylor Allen is Potomac’s most versatile player, able to play any position. She’s one of Potomac’s top scorers. “When I need a bucket, Taylor is probably the one person that I want to go to,” Fuller said. Junior Tiana Jackson is one of Potomac’s most improved players. In her second year after transferring from Wakefield High, Jackson is the Panthers’ best 3-point shooter. The starting center is senior Olivia Wright. Being one of the most
experienced players on the team, Wright understands the system well and is always in the right position on defense. “If we can get her to continue to get better, Olivia is going to be that one piece that takes us over the hump that we need to start to compete in the [district] tournament and regionals,” Fuller said. Potomac’s system is defensive-based and relies on generating turnovers to create scoring opportunities in transition. They mainly play a man-to-man defense that frequently utilizes a three-quarter court press to apply pressure while the ball is in the backcourt. “Our defense is our best offense,” Fuller said. The Panthers typically bring just one player off the bench, sophomore Emmanuella Ofosumensah. When she checks in, the forward provides defense and rebounding. Other contributors include seniors Fatou Cisse, Aeryn Doyle and Kirsten Amematsro, junior Yailin Gonzalez, and sophomores Trinity Riley and Wynter Thomas. “I was so happy that those first five losses didn’t make them put their head down, but they responded so well,” Fuller said. “This is a great group, a great group, and I’m just happy to see their success.”
No losses since December
Potomac’s 15-game winning streak started on Dec. 13 with a 47-38 victory over Freedom High (Woodbridge). Next, they squared off against defending district champion Woodbridge, winning 56-48. Potomac lost to the Vikings three times last season, the third coming in the district finals, so the win provided a huge boost for the Panthers. “They know who Woodbridge is, I think that they respect them. When they come out, they want to win, they want to beat them,” Fuller said. “I think the turning point for us started with that first Woodbridge win.” After sweeping a three-game tournament in Hampton to reach .500 at 5-5, Potomac was primed to make a run with only district opponents remaining on the schedule. Other than close games against perennial powers Colgan and Woodbridge, Potomac has won every game by double-digits to finish undefeated in district play, setting themselves up to make a deep postseason run. “It’s super hard to beat a team three times,” Fuller said. “Take it one game at a time, continue to get better. But it’s going to come down to who executes the best and who does what they’re supposed to do.”

Elizabeth Kathryn Lidard Arreola Look out Heaven, here she comes! Elizabeth Kathryn Lidard Arreola marched right on through the Pearly Gates, on February 1, 2023, or at least that is where she told us she was going. She sidetracks so easily, we’re confident even the good Lord has had difficulties keeping her focused. She was born kicking and screaming in Baltimore, MD, on December 22, 1953, to the late Edgar Phillip and Arbutus Roper Lidard. She and her family later moved to Winchester, Virginia where she attended James Wood High School and captured the heart of the father of her children, Roger Timbrook. She furthered her education at Robinson Secondary School, in Fairfax, VA, becoming a beautician. She currently holds a Doctorate degree from the School of Hard Knocks – graduating with Honors. She enjoyed traveling across the country and spending time with family and friends. She LOVED good food, especially chocolate or anything with sugar, shopping, getting married, smoking cigarettes and some other wacky stuff with a good cup of strong coffee – 4 creams, 4 sugars. There are many other things she loved that the family deems classified - no need to arrest her now. Left to cherish her sassy memory are her three children: CW3 Michael L. Timbrook and wife Sandy, Dr. Karen M. Timbrook-Dillow and husband Eric, and Stacy Feaster and husband, David. Grandchildren; Jason (Megan) Timbrook, Ashley Timbrook, Emily Dillow (Bowen Tiller), William Dillow, Jackson Dillow, Zachary Dillow, Audrey Dillow, Caleb (Pam) Feaster, Martin (Hannah) Feaster, and Mary (Scotti) Meadows. Her great grands; Macayla Feaster, Reagan and Patten Meadows, Mya Feaster, and Eliza Tiller. She beat her brothers; Charles Lidard and wife Bobbie, Scott Lidard and wife Margie, and baby brother Tracy Lidard and wife Kelly, to the gates. She made sure she was the first to enter the gates, so that she could one-up them. We can hear her saying now “told ya so!” They didn’t expect anything less – she gives her all. The family would like to give a big shout out and a special thank you to her caregiver and lifelong best friend, Debbie Spaid. She lived her life much how she went to meet her Savior – her way. She is a champion of Christ and although we are going to deeply miss her warmth, smiles, laughter, sass and love, we take comfort in knowing she is with Him. Her Celebration of Life was held before her passing, so she could be a part of it. Her body will be cremated, divided, and set on her children’s mantles – you can visit her there by appointment only. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you do something fun to honor her memory or you may donate (toiletries, snacks, clothing, etc.) to the Blue Ridge Hospice of 333 W. Cork St., Suite 405, Winchester, VA 22601. If momma taught us anything, she taught us to just be you!
Shirley Dodson Walker Shirley Dodson Walker, 83, of Warrenton passed away peacefully on January 29th. She was preceded in death by her husband (Louie), son (Larry), siblings (Mayo, Virginia Anne) and parents (James and Neda Dodson). She leaves behind two sons, Dennis (Valree Clubb) of Warrenton, Stephen (Colette) of Richmond, and a nephew whom she considered a son, Donald Busick of Warrenton, two grandchildren (Evan and Sydney Walker) and many nieces, nephews, and friends. Full obituary can be found on the Preddys Funeral Home website. If you would like to honor her memory, please consider a donation to Blue Ridge Christian Home (non-profit) at 540-439-2627.

Wofford (“Jimmy”, “Jim”, “Woff”) to friends and colleagues, “Big Jim” to his grandsons) died February 2, 2023, at his beloved Fox Covert Farm in Upperville, Virginia, surrounded by his family. He will be remembered not only as a world class equestrian and coach but as an accomplished writer... as well as a hunter, fisherman, naturalist, husband, brother, father, grandfather and friend. Born November 3, 1944, the son of U.S. Army Colonel John W. Wofford and Dorothea (Brown) Wofford, Jim was raised on Rimrock Farm in Milford, Kansas, adjacent to Fort Riley and the U.S. Cavalry School. His education through eighth grade took place in a one-room schoolhouse. He went on to graduate from Culver Military Academy and the University of Colorado School of Business. The Woffords were (and are) a family of equestrians. Col. Wofford represented the U.S. as a member of the 1932 Olympic show-jumping team, went on to coach eventers and show jumpers at the 1952 Olympic Games, and was the founder and first president of the United States Equestrian Team. Jim’s oldest brother, Jeb, won a team bronze as part of the 1952 Olympic three-day team. His middle brother, Warren, was first reserve to the U.S. show jumping team at the 1956 Olympics. Jim was a key member of the USET’s three-day event squad for two decades and was named to three Olympic teams during this time. He won two team silver medals (in 1968 at Mexico City and 1970 at Munich) and an individual silver medal at the 1980 Alternative Olympics in Fontainebleau, France, won individual and team bronze medals at the 1970 and 1978 World Championships respectively, won team gold at the 1967 Pan American Games, and rode to five U.S. National Championship titles on five different horses. As he segued from competing to coaching, Jim exerted a powerful and lasting influence on his sport. For decades beginning in 1978, every U.S. Olympic, World Championship, and Pan American team included one of his students. He coached the Canadian team for the 2002 World Championship, the 2003 Pan American Games, and the 2004 Olympic Games. He was incredibly proud that all four members of the 2000 Australian Olympic bronze medal team were Fox Covert graduates. Jim’s vision for the sport extended to a lifelong involvement in its administration, both nationally and internationally. He served as president of the American Horse Show Association (now U.S. Equestrian Federation, or USEF), was the first vice-president of the U.S. Equestrian Team, and served as secretary of the USCTA (now USEA). He served two terms as a member of the FEI (International Equestrian Federation) Eventing Committee, including two years as vice chairman. In addition, during his career he served on committees too numerous to count. While widely sought after as a clinician and coach, Jim was equally popular as an author. His books on training include Training the Three-Day Event Horse and Rider, Gymnastics: Systematic Training for Jumping Horses, and 101 Eventing Tips. His long-awaited memoir, Still Horse Crazy After All These Years, was published in 2021. His long-running monthly column, “Cross Country with Jim Wofford,” was a reader favorite in Practical Horseman magazine; he was also a regular contributor to The Chronicle of the Horse. Whether in print or in person, he was at his very best when advocating for horses and the sport he loved so dearly. Jim’s many awards included U.S. Eventing Hall of Fame, The Culver Academy Horsemanship Hall of Fame, USEA President’s Award, and U.S. Equestrian Lifetime Achievement Award. He was also active in his local community, serving on the boards of The Hill School, The Upperville Colt and Horse Show, The Piedmont Foxhounds, and the Vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church. He was a history buff with a voracious appetite for detail and could be relied upon to recall his vast catalog of knowledge at a moment’s notice. But no appreciation of Jim would be complete without acknowledgement of his passion for hunting and fishing with friends and family, his love for (and keen observation of) the natural world, and his delight in a good joke. Nothing gave him greater pleasure than to spend time with his family (particularly his four grandsons), whether on horseback, on a trout stream, in a duck blind or on the road. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Gail; his two daughters, Hillary Jones (Tim) and Jennifer Ince (Charles); his four grandsons, James Walker Jones, Hudson Wofford Jones, Lewis Kitchell Ince and Theodore Brown Ince; his sister Dorothea (Wofford) Seymour, and his treasured Labrador retrievers Tiger and Peaches. A service will be held on Friday, February 24th, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to The National Sporting Library, 102 The Plains Road, Middleburg, VA 20117 or The Piedmont Foxhounds Conservation Fund, P.O. Box 592, Upperville, VA 20185.
