Local Democrats ‘condemn’ one of their own over ‘racist’ meme

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Kevin Wade, a political newcomer who is giving Del. Luke Torian a rare primary challenge this spring, is apologizing but also refusing to withdraw from the June 11 Democratic primary over a video meme he shared on Facebook last fall that contains the word “nigga.”

Wade offered an apology through a statement posted to Facebook page late Friday night, after the Prince

William County Democratic Committee, the Prince William NAACP and the Democratic Black Caucus of Virginia issued press releases condemning him for what they deemed a “racist” cartoon.

The Democratic Black Caucus of Virginia called on him to withdraw his challenge to Torian, a Democrat who has held the 52nd District seat since 2010. Torian is Prince William County’s most senior Democratic member of the Virginia House of Delegates and has run unopposed since 2011.

Wade, 27, is a Virginia native who spent his childhood in Asian countries where his father, a foreign service officer with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was posted for duty. He says he’s running mostly to promote worker’s rights issues and to make it easier to form unions in Virginia.

The three local groups, however, say his act of sharing the meme on Facebook suggests an insensitivity to minority groups. The 52nd District stretches from Woodbridge to Triangle in minority-majority Prince

But Republican incumbents have twice as much in the bank

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Nearly a half a million dollars has already been raised this year for Prince William County’s uber-crowded supervisors’ races, and the nine Democrats vying for seats on the county board outraised their Republican opponents by about $28,000 overall, according to recently released first-quarter campaign finance accounts.

But Republicans had more than twice as much in the bank as their Democratic challengers as of March 31, mostly because the board’s five incumbent Republicans carried over balances from their last elections in 2015.

Parents charged after 3-year-old struck by construction vehicle Two Gainesville parents are facing felony child abuse charges after their 3-year-old child was inadvertently run over by a Bobcat construction vehicle operated by his father, according to police.

Both parents, Erin Renee Knox, 29, and Kenneth Albrecht Toone, 39, of Gainesville, were operating separate Bobcat vehicles at the worksite, located in the 5400 block of Fallen Oaks Lane in Gainesville, on the morning of Friday, March 15, according to Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department.

The parents were aware the 3-year-old and a 1-yearold were playing near other parked c on st r uct ion equipment at the site, Perok ERIN KNOX said in a news release.

At some point, the 3 -yea r- old child was observed lying on the ground after the Bobcat Toone was operating allegedly ran KENNETH TOONE over him, Perok said.

Toone drove the boy to a nearby hospital where the child was assessed as having “significant internal injuries” and flown to a local trauma center for further evaluation, Perok said.

The child is expected to survive his injuries. Due to the unsafe environment where the children were located, which led one to sustain a serious injury, both Toone and Knox were charged Wednesday, April 17, with one count of felony child abuse in connection with the incident, Perok said.

A court date is pending.

Dance instructor faces arrested on abuse, pornography charges A Woodbridge dance instructor is facing sexual abuse and pornography charges stemming from interactions with a teenage student in 2014, according to police.

Detectives with Prince William County Police Department’s Special Victims Unit on March 27 began an investigation into an inappropriate relationship between the victim, who was 15 years old at the time of the offense, and the accused, which began in late 2014, according to Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the department.

The accused was the victim’s

dance instructor at the KLR Studios for Dance & Music, 2850 Garber Way in Woodbridge, during the time of the alleged relationship.

The interaction began with the accused soliciting inappropriate photographs and videos from the victim via the social media app SnapChat, Perok said in a news release.

The relationship progressed to in-person, sexual encounters. The relationship was recently discovered by the victim’s parents and was reported to police.

“Mr. Wade’s responses to questions about the issue show he is clearly not someone who understands the value of African Americans to the Democratic Party, nor does he appreciate the sensitivity and dedication to inclusion required to serve the 52nd Legislative District.

Attempts to reach Torian for comment over the weekend were not successful.

Wade: Meme taken ‘out of context’

Wade said the meme at issue was actually one of several snippets included in a 4-minute-long video. He said he did not know the video contained the offensive animated cartoon when he posted it to his Facebook page last fall.

Wade said he took down the video, titled “Stop Bullying,” after members of the Prince William County Democratic Committee made him aware of it.

“I viewed the compilation once and immediately shared it. In retrospect, I viewed it too quickly and shared it without thinking,” Wade said in his statement. “For this, I apologize. When it was pointed out to me

that the video included the offensive frame, I immediately un-shared it.”

In an interview Friday night, Wade further said he believes the cartoon is being taken out of context, and the whole issue blown out of proportion.

Wade said his critics took a screen shot from the video to make it look like he shared only offensive cartoon – and not the full video – on his Facebook page.

The screen shot depicts five animated puppets dressed as ghosts. In the animated cartoon, the puppeteer tricks a woman into giving the puppets Halloween candy and then runs away. At one point, the words “ooga booga you got spooked, nigga” appears in print under the ghosts.

Wade said he shared the video because he thought the first part of it – which includes scenes of a young man getting hit in the face with an elastic exercise band and two people playing video games -- were humorous.

When asked if he believes the cartoon is racist, Wade said: “I didn’t know it was there, and I don’t know what it means.” The screen shot, he added “is not a photo of the video I shared. It’s implying that I shared the picture” of the animated ghosts.

Wade further called the video just “a silly meme compilation.”

The video also includes lewd and offensive language and pictures. At one point, a woman says “heil Hitler” and an athlete appears to be flashing a version of the OK gesture that has been linked to white nationalists.

In his statement, Wade said, “I had nothing to do with the production of this compilation and I made no comment when I shared it. It remains online and, at least from the comments, does not appear to have been controversial.” Wade shared a link to the video compilation in his statement.

Wade said he hopes to address the Prince William Democratic Committee and the Democratic Black Caucus of Virginia to further explain his position.

“I believe if I continue to talk to people, the truth will come out,” he said.

He said he was also questioned about for a reference he made on social media about synthesized music that one member of the committee mistook for a reference to synthetic drugs.

Wade said another party member questioned the validity of his ballot signatures before they were eventually verified by the Prince William Office of Elections.

“I believe it’s unfair treatment,” Wade said of the committee’s actions. “It’s borderline harassment.”

Wade further added that the accusation of racism seems “out of left field” and is inconsistent with his background as the son of a foreign service officer who lived in several different countries while growing up, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Beijing, he said.

When he was older, Wade said he lived in Bangkok and England before moving back to Virginia seven years ago. He’s lived in Woodbridge for about five years, he said.

Wade said his mother is Thai. He said he believes his background has made it easier for him to talk to residents in the diverse 52nd District, which stretches along the eastern border of Prince William County from Occoquan to Triangle.

“It’s very easy for me to talk to people, knowing about different backgrounds,” Wade said. “I like to talk to immigrants.”

Wade’s issue: worker’s rights

Wade is an audio/visual engineer who said he’s running for delegate primarily to push worker’s rights and to propose legislation to make it easier for unions to organize in Virginia, which is a right to work state.

Wade said he decided to run for office after he was suspended from his job with PSAV, a large audio/ visual contractor, for trying to form union. Wade said he sued and won a settlement with PSAV and now works as a copier technician because he cannot make enough in his chosen field of audio/visual engineering.

“I want to tell the public about how the economy is unfair to the working class,” Wade said. “At least if I run, win or lose, at least we’ll have some discussion about these issues. … We need to have more fairness for the working class.”

Stewart’s ‘data center tax’ dies in a tie vote

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Chilling effect?

Supervisors who opposed the plan – including Republicans Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan; Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville; and Marty None, R-Coles – argued the move could have a chilling effect on the high-tech sector, which could see the county board as unpredictable and unstable.

None, who is vying for the Republican nomination for board chairman, said raising the tax rate on computer equipment just two months after they pledged in February to further study the issue could impact the county’s future economic development efforts.

After about 45 minutes of debate, Stewart’s plan died in a 4-to-4 tie vote with the board’s newest member – Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco – voting against the move along with Anderson, Lawson and Nohe.

Voting with Stewart to advertise the new rate and hold a new public hearing were Supervisors Pete Candland, R-Gainesville; Maureen Caddigan, R-Potomac; and Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge.

Angry: ‘an integrity issue’

The final vote was a surprise because Angry was the only supervisor who had not publicly disclosed his position before the vote.

Stewart announced his plan to raise the tax rate on Thursday, April 11, the same day Angry was sworn into office to fill the last eight months of the late Supervisor John Jenkins’ term. The move suggested that Angry might give Stewart the fifth vote he needed on an issue he’s

been pushing for two years.

After the vote, Angry said he voted against Stewart’s proposal not because he doesn’t agree the data tax rate should be higher, but rather because the move came so late in the budget process and just two months after the board voted Feb. 19 to begin discussions with the data center industry about increases in the county’s computer tax rate. To change course on that plan now would not be “the right thing to do,” Angry said.

“We have to honor that, as board members, because that’s what we said.

This is an integrity issue, it’s a trust issue,” Angry said. “…I think there is an increase opportunity [with] the data centers, but that is left to the discussion between [County Executive Chris Martino], the data centers, and possibly the small business owners who would be affected by this.”

Angry further said small businesses that believe their bottom lines would be impacted by a possible tax increase should weigh in on the issue as soon as possible.

The Prince William Chamber of Commerce, which lobbied against the tax increase, hailed the vote as a win for both the local business and data center communities. Chamber spokesman Ross Snare said the chamber is open to be part of the discussion about raising the computer

“It’s up for conversation,” Snare said. “The chamber is looking forward to playing a major part in helping to decide what the proper future tax rate is.”

The supervisors will further discuss their budget for fiscal year 2020 in a markup session, scheduled for Tuesday, April 23, and are scheduled to take a final vote on the budget April 30.

There will be no tax increase on data centers in Prince William County – at least for one more year -- after Corey Stewart’s request to move forward with a possible 60 percent hike in the rate businesses pay on computer equipment died in a tie vote during an April 17 special meeting.

Stewart, chairman of the board of county supervisors, called the meeting to vote on “re-advertising” his proposed $2.50 rate on programmable computer equipment – informally called the “tech tax” or the “data center tax” – in time to hold a public hearing on the matter Tuesday, April 30.

The current property tax on such equipment is $1.25 per $100 in valuation. Stewart, R-At Large, has called that rate a “sweetheart deal” and “corporate welfare” and has argued over the last two years that data centers must “pay their fair share” of county taxes.

During the debate, Stewart that Loudoun County charges data centers $4.20 per $100 in valuation for computer equipment and Fairfax County charges $4.57, while Prince William has retained the same $1.25 cut rate it set back in 1999 to lure high-tech companies to the county.

Both Loudoun and Prince William's data center industries continue to expand because of their proximity to an internet hub in Ashburn, Stewart said.

Location, he insisted, is the most important factor for data centers --not the local tax rate.

“Loudoun County gets $300 million dollars a year [from data centers] with which they’ve been showering their schools with revenue, and at the same time they’ve been able to reduce their [real-estate] tax rate,” Stewart said. “This is common sense. The data centers aren’t going anywhere, folks.

These are the biggest, richest corporations in the world. … Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Google …. And all we’re asking them to do … is to pay the same rate, or closer to it, that every other businesses pays in this county.

That’s it.”

Stewart’s said his plan would raise

about $9.6 million that could be used to shave one cent off the real-estate tax rate – resulting in a savings of about $37 on a home valued at about $370,000 – while providing about $2 million more to local schools and $1.5 million to the county.

Stewart proposed spending $800,000 of that money to improve access to county mental health services, which would leave $700,000 for other needs, possibly to help pay debt service on a new bond issue supervisors are mulling for the November ballot.

During his first meeting on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors Wednesday, April 17, Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, the board’s newest member, far right, listens as Chairman Corey Stewart argues in favor of a tax hike on data centers. Angry voted against Stewart’s proposal, which died in a tie.

In supervisors’ races, Dems lead in early fundraising

See FUNDRAISING, page 4 Who has the most cash? Supervisor Marty Nohe, R-Coles, who is vying to replace Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, who is not seeking re-election, raised $76,184 in the first quarter and so far has the most money in the bank: $117,691.

That’s more than four times the money Democrat Ann Wheeler has in her campaign account, which stood at $25,810 on March 30, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, which analyzes the finance reports candidates are required to file with the Virginia Department of Elections.

Wheeler, who ran unsuccessfully for the Gainesville supervisor seat in 2011, raised $31,599 in the first quarter and carried over about $29,000 from her last race. But she spent about $25,000 in consulting fees, leaving her with $25,810 in her campaign coffers as of March 30.

Wheeler outraised Nohe in small-dollar donations, bringing in $4,417 in donations under $100 compared to Nohe’s $2,299. About 14 percent of Wheeler’s total haul for the quarter came from small donations compared to 3 percent for Nohe.

But Nohe more than made up that difference with money from real-estate developers, homebuilders and real-estate interests, which gave him $35,700 in the first quarter, comprising about 47 percent of his total donations. Nohe also received $1,000 from data centers and $7,000 from the Virginia Republican Victory Fund.

Wheeler received no money from real-estate developers or data centers but donated $10,000 to her own campaign and collected $500 donations from

The other two candidates running for board chairman – Don Scoggins and Jesse Maggitt, both independents – reported raising no money in the first quarter.

John Gray, a Republican running against Nohe in the May 4 Republican firehouse primary, said he has not filed a finance report because he was initially told he did not have to.

Lawson tops fundraising in district races

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, led the pack of 18 candidates who reported raising money for supervisor races in the first quarter. Lawson raised $66,025 from January through March and ended the quarter with $105,186 in the bank, nearly as much as Nohe.

More than $19,000 of Lawson’s haul came from real-estate developers, or about 29 percent of her total. Lawson also collected about $16,000 from data centers. Lawson received about $2,500 – or about 4 percent of her total – from donations under $100.

Lawson does not have a primary challenger but faces Democrat Maggie Hansford, a Prince William County speech teacher, in the Nov. 5 election. Hansford raised $33,302 in the first quarter, the third most of any Democrat running for supervisor. Hansford received $4,250 from donors in the real estate community, but more than twice that – about $9,000 – in small donations. About 27 percent of Hansford’s donations were from those who gave less than $100, according to VPAP.

Coles District

Democrat Raheel Sheikh, a businessman who owns four auto-service shops, is leading the fundraising race in the hotly contested Coles District, where four candidates, including two Republicans and two Democrats, are vying to replace Nohe, who is running for board chairman.

Sheikh raised $41,392 and has $33,997 left in the bank. Sheikh raised no money from either real estate developers or data centers but donated about $6,000 to his own campaign and

Virginia trails nation in placing foster children with relatives

By Caitlin Morris

Capital News Service

RICHMOND — Only 7 percent of Virginia’s foster children are placed with relatives, according to a new study — well below the national average of 32 percent.

The Annie E. Casey Foundation tracked changes in foster care in each state from 2007 to 2017. For Virginia, the data snapshot contained some good news: There were fewer children in foster care, and fewer foster children were placed in group homes.

But ideally, many experts say, foster children should be placed with relatives. On that measure, Virginia did not make any progress over the 10 years.

“We want for children to have a family that is their family forever — whether it’s their family of origin or if their foster family turns into an adoptive home,” said Allison Gilbreath, a policy analyst at Voices for Virginia’s Children, a nonprofit advocacy program.

Over the 10-year period, Virginia was successful in decreasing the percentage of foster children in group homes from 23 to 17 percent.

That means more children have been fostered in family settings — but not with their own relatives. The data also shows that older youth are more likely to be in group homes.

Virginia was also successful in reducing the number of children entering foster care. In 2007, 7,665 children were in foster care, compared with 4,795 in 2017.

“While we have reduced the number of children overall in foster care, black children in particular continue to be overrepresented both in family-based settings, but also particularly in group homes,” Gilbreath said. “We really need to spend some time and energy in the state and figure out what we can do that will specifically get at the racial inequities in the foster care system.”

This year’s Virginia General Assembly passed SB 1339 to bring Virginia in compliance with federal foster care regulations, including the

federal Family First Prevention Services Act enacted in 2018. The act encourages states to keep children in family-based settings by redirecting federal funds to support services for at-risk children and their caregivers.

Virginia’s new law also aims to increase the number of children placed with family members by notifying relatives when a child enters foster care.

Voices for Virginia’s Children joined the Annie E. Casey Foundation in calling on child welfare systems to shift resources from group placements to family settings.

“They feel more loved and protected, and it’s a more normal experience for that child,” Gilbreath said. “But also, they’re more likely to achieve permanency that way, and that’s what we really want for kids.”

The organizations contend that the support system for other foster

children and caregivers should also be available to relatives who take in children. This includes financial support and access to mental health support. Often, family members take in a child through what is known as kinship diversion, meaning they take in a child without using the foster system and don’t receive the same support as caregivers in the foster program.

The children’s advocacy groups also called for expansion of kinship navigator programs. These programs aim to help relative caregivers navigate the complex child welfare system. Under the Family First Prevention Services Act, additional federal funds have been made available for kinship navigator programs.

“Virginia has already started to take advantage of these funds but could adopt the programs statewide,” Voices for Virginia’s Children stated

in a press release.

The organization and the Annie E. Casey Foundation also asked for increased access to services that would help stabilize families. By aligning legislation with the Family First Prevention Services Act, funds will be accessible for family support services to prevent at-risk children from entering the foster system.

“It’s going to provide the first-ever opportunity to have money used to prevent entry into foster care,” Gilbreath said. This funding will go toward programs that offer mental health support for the child and the caregivers, substance abuse treatment and in-home training in parenting skills for the family.

“If we were able to step in and provide that family support — we’d be able to make that family successful,” Gilbreath said.

County to hosts Compost Awareness Day this Saturday Staff Reports The Prince William County Solid Waste Division will host its annual Compost Awareness Day Event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, April 27, at the Sean T. Connaughton Community Plaza, 1 County Complex Court in Woodbridge.

The event supports International Compost Awareness Week, the largest most comprehensive education initiative of the compost industry. It promotes composting efforts in the backyard and at large scale commercial composting facilities, like the County’s Balls Ford Road Compost Facility, which is undergoing construction.

This year’s theme is “Cool the Climate – Compost!”

Composting eliminates biodegradable waste from the landfill. Making efforts to compost slows the warming of the atmosphere by remov-

ing amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas emitted from waste.

Compost improves soil quality, promotes healthy plant growth, reduces the use of fertilizer and pesticides, improves water quality, and protects the environment.

Volunteers from the Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners will present 30-minute workshops starting at 10:30 a.m. on container gardening; small space (townhouse) gardening; tree planting, mulching, maintenance; building soils; and rain barrel construction and operation demonstrations will be provided by Prince William County Environmental Services, according to a county press release.

In addition to the workshops, guests will receive a free compost sample and door prizes will be given out throughout the event.

Compost bins and plants will be on sale and

Beto O’Rourke discusses racism, LGBTQ rights, Social Security in Dumfries

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke made a campaign stop at El Paso Mexican Grill in Dumfries Wednesday, April 17, where he talked to a group of Democratic activists and about 100 diners on issues ranging from racism and Social Security to reversing President Trump’s ban on transgender troops.

O’Rourke, 46, is the first of the growing field of Democrats vying to oust Trump from the White House to visit the commonwealth. He attracted a crowd of about 1,000 at a Short Pump hotel Tuesday, April 16 and held a 5 p.m. town hall in Alexandria later on April 17.

But stops in the middle –in Fredericksburg and then Dumfries – seemed as focused on helping Democrats retain or win seats in the Virginia General Assembly this fall as raising his own profile in the only southern state Trump lost in 2016.

In Fredericksburg, O’Rourke appeared with Josh Cole, a Democrat who lost his 2017 race for delegate by 73 votes to Republican Del. Bob Thomas. In Dumfries, O’Rourke was greeted by Dels. Hala Ayala, D-51st and Danica Roem, D-13th, both of whom are defending their seats against Republican challengers this fall.

Roem said she hasn’t yet picked a candidate for president but welcomed O’Rourke’s support.

“I welcome any candidate who wants to come to Virginia to help out our campaigns,” Roem said.

Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at Mary Washington University, said it’s a good time for O’Rourke or any Democratic 2020 hopeful to drum up energy and attention for Democrats since the party’s elected leaders – Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring – have all been sidelined by scandals.

“For Democratic candidates, [party leaders’] inability to fundraise really undermines their chances for success,” Farnsworth said. “Normally, Democratic governors raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to help these candidates, who really have a hard time raising that kind of money on their own.”

On racism, child care, transgender troops

There was no talk of Northam’s or Herring’s revelations about blackface, but O’Rourke spoke about systemic racism in response to a question about his remarks last August about Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players’ decision to kneel during the national anthem.

E.J. Scott, a Manassas resident and chairwoman of the Democratic Black Caucus of Virginia, thanked O’Rourke for his “eloquent” defense of the players’ protest and then asked what he would do about the issues behind it.

O’Rourke said there must be

more accountability and transparency around the use of deadly force by police and said the “full weight of the nation’s civil rights laws” should be brought to bear if cases cannot be resolved locally.

But in a long, winding answer typical of O’Rourke’s speaking style, the former congressman said the issue is deeper than the criminal justice system and stretches back “to the very racist foundation of this country.”

“The larger problem, of which the criminal justice system is just a part, is the very racist foundation of this country, the fact the wealth of the United States of America and the commonwealth of Virginia was built literally on the backs of those kidnapped in their home countries, transported in the middle passage to this country, and who had no hope or prospect in enjoying the fruits of their labor,” O’Rourke said. “And to add insult to injury, their descendants, up until the year 2019, through segregation, Jim Crow, suppression, red-lining and the disproportionate arrests of African Americans for possession of marijuana – although all races use it at the same rate in this country – all of that has been reinforced and compounded and leads to these results.”

In O’Rourke-speak, everything is complicated and connected. When asked about affordable child care, O’Rourke offered a list of solutions, including raising the minimum wage, paid family leave, universal pre-K, increasing tax credits for child care and more funding for community development block grants.

In response to a question about Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military, O’Rourke said he would “reverse that executive order on day one” and would further work to pass the Equality Act so no state can discriminate against LGBTQ people for housing or employment, which is now legal in both Virginia and Texas.

In response to a question about shoring up Social Security, O’Rourke acknowledged the program could be insolvent by the 2030s and said, if elected, he would sign a bill to raise the threshold on income subject to Social Security withholding.

A nod to El Paso

Yuly, a woman who identified herself as an owner of El Paso Mexican Grill, asked O’Rourke in Spanish why he chose their restaurant for the event. O’Rourke, who is a native of El Paso, Texas, replied in Spanish and then in English to say his parents had a rule about never eating Mexican food outside of El Paso.

“I’m going to be so happy to tell my mom today that even though I was in Virginia, I ate Mexican food in El Paso,” O’Rourke said to laughs from the crowd.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | April 24, 2019

An antidote to the national news The national news has been particularly sad and disheartening this week. As an antidote to that, we didn’t want you to miss some inspiring stories we heard at the April 11 Valor Awards, hosted by the Fauquier County Chamber of Commerce.

Lt. Brendan Miller of the Fauquier County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management, was one of many brave and dedicated professionals who was honored. On the afternoon of March 10, 2018, Miller was one of many who responded to a report of a multiple-vehicle accident with multiple injuries. One of the cars was on fire.

As Miller’s Medic 10 arrived on the scene, one person was still trapped in a car. The driver of the other car narrowly escaped their SUV’s burning wreckage. Miller found the driver on the hot asphalt still trying to crawl away from the smoke and heat. Once in the clear, it was apparent the patient was badly injured and needed a trauma center. Meanwhile, the patient in the second vehicle was still trapped and in need of attention, as the fire grew in size and intensity.

Miller ran back to the fire station -- a half of a mile away -- to retrieve the closest fire engine. After the fire was extinguished, Miller

was able to return to providing care for the injured patient.

The story of Miller’s heroism was only one of many told Thursday night. Last August, Sgt. Spillars of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a home where a large tree had fallen through the roof. The structure was unstable, and a child was trapped inside. Spillars forced open the door to the child’s bedroom as a portion of the ceiling collapsed on top of him. He and the child’s stepfather continued to work feverishly to free the trapped child until the arrival of fire and rescue. Tragically, 10-year-old Lydia Gherghis did not survive.

On September 16, of last year, Officer Matthew Eggers of the Warrenton Police Department responded to the Blackwell Road overpass at the U.S. 17 spur. When he arrived, Eggers observed a visibly upset, barefoot woman walking toward the overpass. Officer Eggers made contact with the woman and learned that she was distraught over a failing relationship and wanted to commit suicide by jumping from the overpass.

The woman had consumed drugs and alcohol earlier that evening, and Eggers observed markings on her body that were indicative of self-mutilation, as well.

Eggers recognized that the female was in crisis and utilized his crisis intervention training to talk with her, calm her; he successfully persuaded her to seek a mental health evaluation.

Police officers and fire and rescue personnel never know what their day will bring. One evening in January, for instance, Warrenton Police Officers Michael Crosswhite and Van Grimes diffused a hostage situation. A man was reportedly acting irrational and paranoid, yelling at employees at a local business. Prior to their arrival, the officers were told the subject had taken a woman hostage and was

holding her at knife point. Upon arrival, Crosswhite began talking to the man, attempting to calm him down while giving specific commands to drop the weapon and release the hostage. The man complied, and the woman was rescued.

Grimes was able to take the man into custody.

Whatever is happening on the national stage, we are fortunate in Fauquier County to have outstanding public safety agencies staffed by amazing men and women who are passionate about protecting our citizens. We are proud to be able to tell their stories.

On zero tolerance policies and the school-to-prison pipeline The school-to-prison pipeline most affects minors from disadvantaged backgrounds, kids with special needs and minorities. While these disparities have long existed, the pipeline developed when “zero tolerance policies” were put in place to fight crime in the 1980s. In Virginia, this means that African-American students are three times more likely to be suspended than white students.

In Prince William, the only majority-minority county in Northern Virginia, that’s important. Our state and national delegates and senators should be leading the charge to pass legislation that works to combat this relevant issue and to some extent, they have.

Del. Jennifer Carroll-Foy, D-2nd, is a good example of this. During her first legislative session in 2018, she introduced House Bill 445, which would have removed the requirement for principals to report misdemeanors committed by students to the police.

Unfortunately, it did not pass.

Part of the school-to-prison pipeline is a concept known as exclusionary discipline or removing a student from a school setting. This affects kids in kindergarten through third grade most adversely because they rely on school not only for learning but for socialization, and the policy

has proven to an ineffective method of discipline for them. Exclusionary discipline also causes low-income students to lose access to services that school attendance provides such as free and reduced-price meals. The Prince William School Board could easily address this issue by eliminating the option of suspension and expulsion for all offenses that do not automatically require it.

Students who are suspended or arrested in elementary, middle, or high school are more likely to spend time in jail or prison as an adult and fail to graduate from high school or get a college degree. Even simply the accusation of committing a crime or breaking school rules can follow a student for the rest of his or her life.

Take a moment and imagine this: You’re having a typical day in middle school and after going through the lunch line, you realize you’ve forgotten something. You get it from the lunch line and are arrested by your school resource officer. You are then suspended from school and charged with a crime, never mind the fact that that item was free for you in the first place.

This is just one of many real examples of the types of “offenses” that can lead students into the schoolto-prison pipeline. Students may have

court records, may have to repeat a grade because of missed school time, and may even have stories written about them in the media making access to their past offenses, purported or otherwise, easily accessible to future employers, colleges and partners.

This should be worrying to every American whether you are at statistical risk of being directly affected or not. Groups like the ACLU, the NAACP, and Anonymous List for Change, a local PWC organization, do great work both locally and nationally to fight the pipeline, but that is only a fraction of the solution.

Parents and students need to be educated on the dangers of zero

SOPHIA VITTER tolerance policies and their rights in case the student is arrested or suspended. Voters need to be aware of where their representatives stand on bills like HB 445 and other key criminal justice reform issues. And most of all, students need to stand up and speak out against harmful policies and injustice whether they may affect them or not.

Sophia Vitter, of Lake Ridge, is the chair of Activate Prince William and a high school freshman.

Lots of buzz about the Yellow Jackets Led by Kiki Edwards, the Osbourn Park softball team is 13-0 with state title hopes

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets reluctantly share their softball dugout with some carpenter bees.

And that swarm is all that has fazed them this season.

Despite a roster with only two seniors, Osbourn Park is Prince William County’s only remaining undefeated softball team, using an unusually narrow 4-2 victory Monday over the Liberty Eagles to give the Class 6 Yellow Jackets a 13-0 record.

They survived against a Class 4 Liberty team (6-5) thanks to a pair of fifth-inning runs, and they evaded those pesky bees with quick retreat reflexes throughout the game.

“They live in the dugout,” Yellow Jackets junior Lilly Burns said of the insects. “And they all fight each other. It’s terrible. … No thank you.”

OP players often encountered those bees Monday when leaving the dugout through a fence gate during the game to take batting practice off of a nearby tee. Kiki Edwards, for example, twice trekked 50 feet to that tee between her at bats, helping the Mississippi State committed senior finish with two RBIs and a walk on 1-for-1 hitting.

And those extra swings show the kind of dedication that OP coach Patrick DeRosa credits for some of the Yellow Jackets’ success this season.

“They keep wanting to get better … even if they are batting .300, .400,” he said. “If they weren’t happy with their first at bat: ‘Alright, let me go takes some cuts.’”

Edwards, coincidentally, has a .477 batting average with a 1.475 OPS, 28 RBIs and 26 runs.

She helped the Yellow Jackets claim their fifth win of 2019 only 12 days into the season on March 25 after OP failed to reach that win total last season by finishing 4-15.

“I have that [record] imprinted in my brain,” said DeRosa, OP’s sec-

Three years after winning the Class 6 softball title, Osbourn Park is in the hunt again. Led by Mississippi State-bound star Kiki Edwards, the Yellow Jackets are 13-0 under second-year coach Patrick DeRosa. ond-year head coach. “We weren’t ready last year. We were overmatched at times.”

The Yellow Jackets went 2-6 in Cedar Run District play last spring with a roster that featured only one freshman after they lost seven players to graduation following the 2017 season. Now, however, they have a 4-0 district record thanks to an influx of 10 freshmen.

“Definitely what made this team special,” DeRosa said of those freshmen. “If they keep working hard, they have the potential to be something dangerous for four years.”

His starting lineup typically features three freshmen, but often with differing combination of his 10 freshmen options.

“Making a lineup is both fun and

tough because I have so many girls that I trust to put in there,” he said.

“Confidence is just building, and that’s the biggest thing when you have a young team.”

Given that youth and the Yellow Jackets’ struggles last season, their early success this spring somewhat surprised the upperclassmen, but now those veterans see the catalysts for that improvement.

“Definitely the want to win,” Burns said. “The new girls don’t want to carry on that [losing] legacy for themselves. They want to end it now and carry on for their next [three] years as the winning team.”

The Yellow Jackets certainly have that winning pedigree. Since 2014, they have built a legacy as one of the

best teams in the state. They won the 2016 Class 6 state championship and finished as the 2017 runner-up while amassing an 88-17 record from 20142017.

They appear to have a similarly talented roster this spring, but they don’t want set expectations too high after losing 15 games last season.

“I don’t want to jinx it,” Burns said.

DeRosa agreed.

“I don’t want to get too ahead of myself,” he said. “But I think they have the potential to be something special if they continue … not being happy where they are.”

If OP again earns a state berth, it will happen with a different roster composition. Dominant pitching See YELLOW JACKETS, page 11

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch: Hit batters help Patriot prevail 11-10

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Fueled by four hit-by-pitches, Patriot finished their South Carolina spring break baseball trip with a three-run seventh inning rally to beat Maury 1110 at the Hanahan Invitational.

Trailing 10-8 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Pioneers load-

ed the bases with three consecutive players reaching base as hit batsmen with one out. Eli Serrano tied the score with a two-run single. After a walk and fly out, Jaden Minnick was hit by a pitch to drive in Drew Wann for the winning run.

Patriot ended a mild two-game losing streak and improved to 10-2 entering Tuesday’s showdown with

rival Battlefield.

The Pioneers face Stonewall Jackson Friday in Manassas.

After opening 10-0, Patriot lost to Ashley Ridge (S.C.) 1-0 on April 16 and James Island (S.C.) 2-1 on April 17, before rallying to down Maury in a back-and-forth game.

Brian Wilson finished went 1-for-2 with three runs and three steals against

Maury, while Max Ehrhardt went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run.

Adding two RBIs each were Serrano (2-for-4) and Minnick (1-for4, run), while drawing two walks apiece were Kyle VanDenburg (1for-3, run) and Andrew Casey (0for-3, run).

Relief pitcher Kevin Warunek earned the victory.

An ‘astounding year’ for tulips After a tough 2018, Burnside Farms bounces back

By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

More than 150 vehicles were parked in a field off Kettle Run Road on a recent sunny spring weekday, with license plates from Maryland, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania as well as Virginia. Some visitors carried babes in arms or pushed strollers.

There were infants, toddlers, teens, moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas.

They had come not to watch a sports event at nearby Patriot High School, but instead were headed to the sprawling, colorful tulip fields at Burnside Farms’ “Festival of Spring.”

Laura Minniear, who lives in Gainesville, said she was there mostly because her 3-year-old son, Jackson, loves flowers and wanted to see the tulips. As she admired some dazzling yellow blooms, she said, “It’s a beautiful day, so why not come out and see the pretty flowers?”

Owner Leslie Dawley was sitting in the driver’s seat of a white van near the busting checkout area, answering countless text messages and voice mails and trying to coordinate an employee lunch break at 3 p.m.

She and her son, Michael Dawley, 41, have invested countless hours and thousands of dollars to stage this event. She’s constantly being pulled in different directions, including picking up the occasional piece of litter or discarded stems.

Last fall, they planted 1.2 million tulip bulbs on eight acres of the 277-acre Prince William County farmland they lease. There are more than 400 varieties of bulbs called the Burnside blend, all flown from Holland.

The tulips originate at the legendary Dutch tulip and flower auctions in and around Amsterdam.

Those not sold at auction there are blended into one shipment for Burnside.

Many involved in the floral business are promoting American and locally-grown flowers instead of the grocery-store bunches flown from all over the globe, resulting in a significant carbon footprint from the fuel it takes to get them to the U.S. For Burnside, the footprint is far smaller, even if the bulbs are transported by air.

It’s also a very short season of tulip beauty at Burnside. With the fluctuations in temperature and rain, Virginia farmers and agri-tourism growers like the Dawleys are always at the mercy of the weather.

“This is the best year we’ve ever had,” said Leslie Dawley, 65, who lost half her spring crop last year following torrential rains and scorching

90-degree heat.

This season, she added, “It’s been astounding.

I’m astounded. After last year, was a disaster, this is just phenomenal.”

The financial reality of making a go of it at Burnside is simple enough, according to Dawley.

“We sell a tiny fraction of the bulbs we plant,” she said. “We don’t sell enough flowers to pay for the bulbs. We couldn’t make it because we can’t pay for the bulbs in the ground without it.”

To offset this expense, Burnside charges admission to roam the flower-filled fields, with visitors cutting their own, or digging up the bulbs along with the flower.

Daffodils are two for $1, and tulips are $1 per stem, with the bulb $1 extra. (And well worth it, according

to experts, who recommend saving the bulbs in a cool place until fall, and then re-planting them.)

A short summer sunflower season at Burnside is scheduled to begin in mid-July through early August, followed by second round in September to early October.

Thirty varieties of “Helianthus” (sunflowers), along with gladiolus and liatris will be available for cutting. Admission and bloom costs are online.

Jason Mock drove 30 miles to get to Burnside and was a very satisfied customer.

“My wife and I have been looking into visiting tulip fields in the Netherlands,” he said. “We live in Arlington, so this is a lot closer. It's just a beautiful place.”

The forgotten lynchings of 1892 How a Fauquier family’s murder led to lynching outside Gainesville

By John Toler

Associate Editor

The opening of the National Museum for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, in 2018 brought a renewed focus on the brutal crime of lynching. It is a memorial to the more than 4,300 African Americans killed by lynchings in the U.S. between 1877 and 1950.

Tragically, these people were killed in vicious acts of “racial terrorism” that were meant to threaten and intimidate.

The 1932 lynching of Shedrick Thompson in Fauquier County was one such crime. It was recently documented by author Jim Hall in “The Last Lynching in Northern Virginia,” which was published in 2016.

But there were other acts of lynching in our history that were motivated by a desire for vengeance or vigilante justice. Some of those acts involved both white perpetrators and white victims.

The lynchings that followed the 1891 murder of a white Fauquier County family are an example. The controversial trial of the two white men who were convicted of the murders and their subsequent lynching in Prince William County by an angry Fauquier County mob have largely been forgotten.

Murders and a fire

Widowed the year before, Mrs. James W. Kines and her young children – Lizzie, 8, Annie, 10, and

JOSEPH DYE

Gilbert, 4 – were living in a tenant house on the Samuel McMillan farm, along the Virginia Midland Railroad tracks near Calverton in Fauquier County. An older son, Robert Jacob Kines, lived elsewhere.

It was known in the community that following the death of her husband, Mrs. Kines had come into a modest sum of money, perhaps as little as $70. This led investigators to believe the motive for her killing and that of her children was robbery.

The crimes were revealed early on Nov. 10, 1891, when Thomas Robinson, who lived nearby, saw the Kines’ house on fire and rushed to the scene with his son, George.

Pushing in the door of the burning house, they found Lizzie’s body on the floor by the doorway and the badly burned bodies of Mrs. Kines and Annie further inside. All bore evidence of a savage attack with wounds caused by a sharp tool, perhaps a pick axe. Gilbert was missing, and it was initially believed his body had been consumed in the fire.

The first suspect in the crime was a farm laborer who had run nearly a mile to report the fire; investigators thought it was strange that he fled the scene rather than trying to help the victims.

During questioning by Fauquier County Sheriff Robert Whitaker, it was revealed the laborer had not even been at the house but was ordered to go for help by Lee R. Heflin.

Heflin, 29, worked at the McMillan farm and lived with the Dye family. Heflin claimed he was shucking

Fauquier County Courthouse, as it appeared in 1892. corn in a field about 40 yards from the Kines’ house when he saw the fire around 7:30 a.m. and ordered the laborer to go for help. He immediately became a suspect.

Continuing the investigation the next day, Whitaker arrested Heflin and George Dye, son of Joseph Dye, for the murders. After further questioning, George Dye was released, and Joseph Dye was arrested for the murders.

The suspects were first taken to the county jail in Warrenton, but as word of the murders spread throughout the community, people were outraged and there was talk of vigilante vengeance. Heflin and Dye were taken to the Alexandria Jail for their own protection.

The case against Heflin was made stronger when Gilbert’s body was found in the well of the burned house on Nov. 23, 1891. When they removed the body, they found a coat and bloody overalls that belonged to Heflin.

By planting a detective posing as a fellow inmate in Heflin’s cell, investigators got Heflin to talk. He eventually revealed critical details about the murders. Realizing he had given himself up, Heflin confessed.

He told investigators that he had come to the Kines’ home at about 8 p.m. on Nov. 9, the night before the fire, and demanded Mrs. Kines give him her money. When she refused, he “struck her with a piece of wood… and when the children began to cry, hit them, too,” according to **.

Heflin took the money and buried it beside a fence post at the Dye house. The next morning, he admitted returning to the scene and setting the house on fire.

Not convinced he acted alone, investigators pressed Heflin for details.

They learned that the night before, he and Joseph Dye had discussed killing Mrs. Kines because she had

been gossiping about the Dye family, which had forced one of the Dye daughters to leave the area.

The trials

Heflin was the first to be tried, appearing in court on Dec. 28, 1891.

After hearing the evidence, a grand jury returned two murder indictments for the killings of Mrs. Kines and Annie. Later that day, the trial began. Defending Heflin were court-appointed attorneys E. E. Meredith and Robert R. Campbell; the commonwealth’s prosecutor was James Payne Jeffries.

By the time the trial started, an angry crowd intent on lynching Heflin had gathered outside the courthouse. At one point, they broke into the courtroom, creating chaos until they were removed.

As expected, Heflin pleaded not guilty, but his detailed confession and the evidence made it clear he was involved. Changing strategy, his attorneys proposed that Mrs. Kines had killed her children and committed suicide. That claim was quickly dismissed.

On the stand, Heflin stated, “All I know is that I did not do the murder. Dye did the murder and got me to burn the house.” He also said his confession was coerced and made while he was drunk.

After three hours of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts against Heflin for two counts of murder.

Joseph Dye was indicted on murder charges on Jan. 6, 1892, and was also defended by Campbell and Meredith. After a delay, the trial began with Heflin repeating that Dye instigated the crime because of Mrs. Kines’ gossip about his family.

Heflin described how Dye had come to his room around 3 a.m., and that they had gone to the Kines’ home where Dye broke in and killed See LYNCHING, page 15

Heflin and Dye were confined in the Fauquier County Jail behind the courthouse. The jailor at the time was C. M. Pattie.

How a Fauquier family’s murder led to lynching outside Gainesville LYNCHING, from page 13 the occupants while he watched from outside. After stealing the money, they set the house on fire, but it did not burn. Dye told Heflin to return the next morning and finish the job, and he would split the money with him.

On Jan. 9, 1892, the jury convicted Dye of first-degree murder. Both men were sentenced to be hanged on March 18, 1892. However, due to inconsistencies in the testimony, on March 14, 1892, Virginia Gov. Philip W. McKinney granted Heflin a 60-day respite and allowed Dye’s attorneys to petition for a new trial.

The lynchings

The public was outraged and concerned that Heflin and Dye would escape punishment. Aware of the public anger, jailor C.M. Pattie arranged for the pair to be taken to Gainesville and placed on a train to Alexandria for safekeeping.

Just before midnight on March 17, 1892, Heflin and Dye were handcuffed together and placed in a wagon headed for the train station at Gainesville. In addition to Sheriff Pattie, there were two guards and the driver.

An hour after they left, an armed mob of at least 35 masked men rode into town. Entering the jail and finding the prisoners gone, they set out for Gainesville, catching them just west of the village.

Pattie realized resistance would be futile, and the prisoners were pulled from the wagon. Demanding the truth, the masked men got Dye to admit he killed Mrs. Kines and her daughters

and Heflin to admit he killed Gilbert and burned the house.

With that, Heflin and Dye were hung from cedar trees standing along the right side of the road. To make sure they were dead, both men were shot several times. The mob returned to Fauquier County on the Greenwich Road, and Pattie and the guards spent the night in Haymarket.

The next morning, Prince William County authorities were called to investigate. The bodies were cut from the trees and brought to the Gainesville depot, where they remained until their families recovered them.

Fauquier officials were criticized for taking the prisoners from the jail, where they had some protection, and the deputies involved could not identify anyone in the mob. There was later a grand jury inquiry into the lynching in Prince William County, but no one was ever charged.

Editor’s note: This story last appeared in the Fall and Winter 1995 issue of News and Notes, that John Toler wrote for the Fauquier County Historical Society. Much of the information was gleaned from Professor Robert A. Hodge's 25-page treatise, “The Lynching of Heflin and Dye,” published in 1972, which drew on accounts in the Fredericksburg and Warrenton newspapers of the day. In addition, the Warrenton Virginian "Extra," dated March 18, 1892, supplied the artwork of the two men and an account of the lynching.

Local artist Lee Forrest will offer “From Culture Wars to Culture Care,” at Jirani Coffeehouse on Saturday, April 27. “Culture care is the responsibility to individuals to come together and car for and nurture in ways to help people thrive,” according to a press release. “It is a call for artists and everyone who recognizes beauty to be a cultural stewards.”

OBITUARIES Robert S. Igou Robert S. Igou was born on April 7, 1943, in Altoona, PA, to Maurice and Caroline. His passing was confirmed on March 26. He left behind son, Eric, stepdaughter Jennifer and her children, Meghan, Allison, and Jonathan, and siblings, Joyce, Peggy, Mary Ann, James, and Maurice. Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Mary.

Bob joined the Air Force in 1961, which first took him to Germany, where he married Renate, Eric’s mother. After returning to the USA in the early 1970s, he worked for the Office of Naval Research and then the General Services Administration. Following retirement in 1997, Bob sold trap shooting supplies at the Winchester Gun Club and elsewhere in the country.

Bob recently beat prostate cancer and was looking forward to the next challenges in life. He spent his last day at the Lion & Bull, getting dinner from his favorite restaurant, Tony’s New York Pizza, and enjoying the evening with his neighbors.

Bob was known as a friendly and happy man with a big personality.

Countless people will miss Bob deeply. However, we find solace that Bob will live on in our memories. His gift to connect to people, to make them enjoy the moment, and his loyalty, will continue to inspire us.

A service will be held Saturday, April 27, at 11 a.m. at Royston Funeral Home, 106 E Washington Street, Middleburg, VA 20117. In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to the Alzheimer’s Association https://www.alz.org/ or American Foundation for the Blind https://www. afb.org/

Diana Jane Dyer Wanda Hedlesky September 1, 1924 – April 5, 2019 Wanda (Wynn) Hedlesky, 94, of Big Sandy, TN, passed away on April 5, 2019 at her home, surrounded by family and friends. Private memorial gatherings will be held at later dates (to be determined) in Tennessee and Hawaii.

Wanda was the daughter of Ruby William Wynn and Alice Marie (Allen) Wynn and was born in Portageville, Missouri. The family moved to Ann Arbor, MI, when she was still a small child. After WWII began, she worked as a Rosie the Riveter in the converted Ford factory in Belleville, MI, riveting together B-24 bomber planes for the war effort.

In 1945, she joined the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) and served as a medical technician, and later as a librarian. After the war, she met her husband, Michael Hedlesky, while both were attending Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI. They had 6 children within 5 years of being married, including 2 sets of twins. After living for a few years in Ann Arbor, MI, they moved to Ruby’s family home in Big Sandy, TN, and a few years later they eventually settled in Casanova, VA. Wanda was an elementary school teacher whom, to this day, is fondly remembered by many of her former students. She began her elementary school teaching in a one-room school house on Lick Creek Rd. in Benton County, TN. Then she taught in Waverly, TN and Fauquier County, VA. Finally, she became an elementary school teacher in Fairfax County, VA and taught there for over 20 years, specializing in teaching science. She received her Master’s degree in Education from the University of Virginia and received several National Science Foundation grants to take summer classes in astronomy, geology, and other science courses. She became a specialist in teaching science to 3rd and 4th graders and to their teachers, rotating through 40 elementary schools in Fairfax County, VA. Upon retirement, Wanda and Mike returned to live in Big Sandy, TN and cared for her parents for many years. Wanda loved being with family and friends, reading good books, and traveling with her husband, which included trips to Australia, Ireland, France, Isle of Man, and many US destinations, especially national parks. Michael passed away after 62 years of marriage on July 22, 2011. After his death, Wanda shared her time each year between her daughter, Katrina, in northern Nevada in the winter months, and her twin sons, Steve and Mike, along with her loving friend and caretaker, Marie DesJardins. We have many fond memories of this time shared with her.

She is survived by five of her six children – Katrina Hedlesky (in Dayton, NV), twin sons – Dr. Steve Hedlesky and Michael Hedlesky (both in Big Sandy, TN), and twin daughters - Gina McCartney (in Vacaville, CA) and Anna Wynn (in Honolulu, HI). Her youngest son, David Hedlesky, passed away on June 20, 2018 in Woodbine, MD. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made, in memory of Wanda Hedlesky, to the Big Sandy Branch Library, 12 Front St., P.O. Box 115, Big Sandy, TN 38221 or the Henry County Medical Center Hospice at 301 Tyson Avenue, Paris, TN 38242. The family wishes to express their appreciation for the staff of the Henry County Medical Center, who provided very professional and loving support to Wanda in her final weeks of life.

Diana Jane Dyer, 71, of Manassas, VA passed away peacefully on April 9, 2019.

Diana was born on April 19, 1947. She is survived by her sister Deborah Dyer Handy (Kim) of Philadelphia, TN; brother Dennis Dyer (Carolyn) of Manassas, VA; sisters-in-law Jessie Dyer of Toccoa, GA; and Lokelani Watts of Las Vegas, NV; nephew Ben Dyer (Morgan Ortiz); nieces Chris Strempke (John) and Kelsey Dyer; step-nephews Joshua Cavillo, David Flores (Karen), Jonathan Flores , Seth Flores; step nieces Jeanna Banks (Levi), Anna Rineheart (David ), Johanna Flores and many great- nieces and great-nephews. Diana is preceded in death by her mother Janet Dyer, step-mother Linda Dyer, father General Dan B. Dyer, brothers David Dyer and Danny Dyer.

Diana was a 1964 graduate of Osbourn High School where she was always involved in student activities and was an outstanding multi-sport athlete. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in 1968 from Lambuth University, Jackson, TN. Ms. Dyer was a highly successful coach and beloved teacher at Brentsville District High School for 34 years. Coach Dyer led her basketball and softball teams to Tri-State and Northern Neck District titles while earning Coach-of-the Year. She also coached and served as Athletic Director for Brentsville District Middle School.

Diana was a very kind and generous lady who was well loved and who became a friend to everyone she met. One of her favorite pastimes was reading books. She enjoyed traveling, especially to the beach and to sporting events including Final Four tournaments and the Summer Olympics in 1984 and 1996. Diana shared fun times with friends and family having picnics in her backyard, playing golf, helping with her Osbourn reunions and volunteering for Ducks Unlimited.

A Celebration of Life will be held on April 27, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. in the Diana J. Dyer Gymnasium at Brentsville District High School, Nokesville, VA, with Rev. Rudy Tucker, Jr. officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Diana J Dyer Scholarship Fund at Brentsville District High School, 12109 Aden Rd, Nokesville, VA 20181.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Baker-Post Funeral Home & Cremation Center, under the direction of Michael Post. Please sign the guestbook at www.bakerpostfh.com.
