Caddigan said Jenkins cared deeply about the county, “but Dale City came first.”

Jenkins died Wednesday, Feb. 6, at INOVA Fairfax Hospital after a long battle with pneumonia, which he contracted after knee-replacement surgery last fall. He was 79.

Jenkins’ will be honored at a memorial service and funeral on Wednesday, Feb. 13 at the Hylton Memorial Chapel in Woodbridge.

Despite widespread calls for his resignation just one week ago over a racist picture in his medical school yearbook, Gov. Ralph Northam (D) says he’s determined to stay in office in part to help guide Virginia through a still-undefined process of racial reconciliation.

Northam, 59, is still denying he was ever in the photo, which depicts one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan uniform.

Former supervisor, prosecutor vie for commonwealth’s attorney Staff Reports Lake Ridge attorney Mike May announced Friday he will try again this year to win election to Prince William County’s top prosecutor’s post. The Republican could face Democrat Amy Ashworth, a former Prince William County prosecutor, in November.

May was the Republican nominee for the job in 2015 but lost to incumbent Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Ebert (D). Ebert announced his retirement Feb. 5, saying he won't seek re-election after five decades in office. Ebert garnered about 53 percent of the vote in the 2015 race.

May said he would return to the issues he campaigned on in 2015.

“The issues that motivated me to run for this important position in 2015 are the same issues that motivate me to run today,” May said in a statement released Feb. 8.

“We have to keep our community safe and protect our neighborhoods. We need to modernize the office and make it more transparent, and we must actively engage Mike May the community to enhance public safety and crime prevention.”

May’s statement said he would pursue various policies toward those goals.

Ashworth, a private attorney and former prosecutor in Ebert’s office, announced her candidacy last month.

Ashworth worked in the Prince William Commonwealth’s Attorney Office for 11 years. She was assigned to the Special Victim’s Unit and oversaw investigations and prosecutions involving sexual and physical

abuse cases, including rape and child pornography. Ashworth is now in private practice with Farrell & Croft in Manassas.

May served as the Occoquan Amy Ashworth District supervisor on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors from 2007 to 2015, when he declined to run for re-election to seek the commonwealth’s attorney’s office.

Republicans have scheduled a firehouse primary May 4 to pick a candidate in the commonwealth’s attorney’s race. So far, only May is seeking the GOP nomination.

The Democrats will participate in the state-run primary scheduled for June 11. Ashworth is the only Dem-

Ebert, 81, told his staff last week he will retire at the end of his current term, which ends this year. In an announcement issued by his office, Ebert said “health challenges” contributed to his decision.

lenges I have decided that, after more than a half-century of service upholding the laws of our commonwealth, I am going to enjoy my family and friends and maybe get in a little fishing,” Ebert said.

Ebert, a Democrat, is nationally recognized for high-profile cases, including the prosecution of D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad, which resulted in the first capital murder conviction under Virginia’s terrorism statute and the execution of Muhammad, the announcement said.

Ebert also handled the cases of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt, whose infamous case put Prince William County in national headlines in 1993.

Ebert is the longest-serving commonwealth’s attorney in Virginia history. He became the youngest person to become the county’s top prosecutor when he was elected in 1967, at the age of 30, and then became the oldest person to hold the job in 2015, when he won a 13th term.

In addition to his nine years on the county board, May has been a trial lawyer for “almost 15 years,” his statement said, and handles criminal, civil and family matters in the circuit, general, district and juvenile courts throughout the commonwealth.

“Congratulations to Paul Ebert on a long career keeping Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park safe," state Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, said in a Facebook post. "He leaves big shoes to fill.”

“I have many vivid memories of Mr. Ebert, including his coming to visit me as Santa Claus when I was a little boy,” added Paul O’Meara, a Prince William County building contractor who is running for the county board of supervisors as a Republican this year.

Superintendent’s budget offers ‘largest pay raise in a decade’ for county teachers, staff

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County would add 46 new school counselor positions and give teachers the “largest pay raise in a decade” under the $1.38 billion budget Superintendent Steven Walts proposed Feb. 6.

Walts, now in his 14th year as the school division superintendent, proposed both “step” and cost-of-living increases for the school division’s more than 6,000 teachers, a move he said is due in part to funding included in Gov. Ralph Northam’s proposal to fund a 5-percent teacher salary increase over two years.

The raises mean an average 4.8 percent salary boost during the 201920 school year for teachers and staff -- part of $24.8 million in additional money Walts proposes to improve employee compensation, which he said is his budget’s “top priority.”

Walts also proposed a 2-percent bump in pay for substitute teachers and “supplemental pay” for staff and others who coach school sports teams or oversee other extracurricular activities.

Additionally, there will be no increase in out-of-pocket health-care or retirement-contribution costs for teachers and staff, meaning the raises should translate to higher take-home pay.

School Board Chairman Babur Lateef called the proposed budget “probably the best in 15 years.”

“The superintendent and his staff have heard what the community wants, they’ve heard what the staff wants and they’ve heard what the students want,” Lateef said. “And they’ve built a budget that addresses all these concerns. They’ve included all the priorities of these constituent groups, and they’ve done it well.”

Riley O’Casey, a middle school teacher and president of the local teachers’ union, the Prince William Education Association, said she was “very, very surprised” by all that Walts managed to add to the budget for the coming school year.

“It’s fantastic. It really is,” O’Casey said.

The budget comes about a week after more than 2,000 teachers and supporters demonstrated in Richmond Jan. 28 for better teacher salaries and increased funding for Virginia’s public schools, which receive less public funding, when adjusted for inflation, than they did before the Great Recession.

“We want our employees to have better working conditions and better pay because we’re losing the best [teachers],” O’Casey said. “They are our most valuable asset.”

Budget priorities

Walts said his budget reflects six priorities: employee compensation, special education, student mental health, career and technical education, class sizes and pre-K education.

In line with that focus, he proposed$5 million to add 46 school

counselor positions and four school nurse positions, allowing every school to have at least one nurse.

Walts said he would also spend an additional $800,000 on career and technical education programs and “nearly $1.9 million” in funding on the Virginia Pre-School Initiative, a program for low-income children not served by the federally-funded Head Start.

The budget also funds an additional $5.9 million for special-education TIMES STAFF PHOTO positions and programs.

The numbers

The budget reflects an overall increase in operating revenue next school year of about 4.9 percent, or about $51.1 million.

That includes an increase of about 4.9 percent -- or $28.4 million -- in local funding from Prince William County, which is projected to rise to $612.6 million from the current $584.1 million, said John Wallingford, the school division's associate superintendent for finance and risk management.

The school division is also projecting a 5-percent boost in state funding, from $534.5 million to $560.9 million next year.

Federal funding to schools, however, is expected to drop by about 3 percent, falling about $1.1 million from $38 million to $36.9 million.

Walts emphasized that Prince William County schools continues to operate with the lowest per-pupil funding of any school division in Northern Virginia with the exception of Manassas Park schools.

Prince William County Public Schools spent $11,633 per pupil this year, according to the Washington Area Board of Education annual report.

Arlington County continues to spend the most on a per-student basis in the metro region at $19,348.

Amid deepening scandal, local opinion mixed on the governor’s fate See NORTHAM, page 4 But that scandal has since been overshadowed by the more recent one engulfing Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.

Fairfax, 39, also faces calls to step down over allegations last week from two women who say he sexually assaulted them in 2000 and 2004. Fairfax (D) has forcefully denied both claims, calling for an investigation.

In the meantime, Attorney General Mark Herring (D) acknowledged his own experience with blackface in 1980. Herring said he darkened his face to dress up like a rapper when he was 19-year-old student at the University of Virginia.

The head-spinning developments in Richmond have been met with mixed reactions from Virginia residents. According to a recent Washington Post poll, 47 percent say Northam should stay in office, while 47 say he should step down.

Black residents were more forgiving of the governor than whites in that poll, saying Northam should stay on by a margin of 58 to 37 percent.

Local residents are similarly torn, according to a series of recent interviews. Some say Northam should resign, while others say he’s surely not the same person he was 35 years ago.

“I’m on the fence about it, because what he did in college is completely inappropriate. Disgusting really. But he is not the same man at 20 as he is at, what is he, 60?” said Ginger Paulson of Hume. “We are all different, hopefully.

I don’t feel like he should be judged necessarily for what he did in college.”

Here’s a sampling of what others in the community say about Northam:

Alice and Bill Fleming, of Bristow:

Bill: “He should battle it out. He should stay. I just think that when you are in college you do wild and crazy things sometimes. A prank, sort of. I don’t think there’s anything serious about it.”

Alice: “They keep holding things against people for what was in the past. I don’t think that’s right. Everybody makes mistakes and I guess he’s corrected his mistakes, so why can’t they let him stay?”

Caroline Walters, of Warrenton:

“I think he will resign due to the social pressure. It’s hard because I know, like, me and my friends – we can make stupid decisions and do stupid things at a young age, and then years from now look back and think, ‘That was so dumb; why did I do that?’ ... You also think, ‘I don’t want anything my friends have posted, or I have, to determine my future 40 years from now.’ So, I think about that. If it was a pattern, I would think, okay, yeah, obviously he has to resign. But it has to be looked into more.”

Valerie Jackson, of Remington:

“I think he should resign because they are now making a mockery of him. It’s causing a black and white thing – issues. We are supposed to be coming together as one. ... I got to weigh this out. You really got to investigate before you say yes or no.

Does this old infraction interfere with him being able to make wise decisions now? When we’re in school, we don’t know half the time why we did what we did. It has a lot to do with the click you run with. … Thirty years ago, we

all made decisions that weren’t wise.

A lot of time, we did it because our friends did it. So, I’m undecided. I want to know more. Is this how this man is walking his life? Or just something dumb he did 35 years ago?”

Janice Adams, of Warrenton:

“Yes, he needs to go. It’s gonna be real hard for him to do his work now.”

Donna Benn, of Warrenton:

“Resign? Yes, he should. But now you have the sexual assault allegation against Mr. Fairfax, and the attorney general admitting that he put on blackface, too. I am horrified about all of this. Where do we go from here? ... Who is it that we are going to look to fill those slots?

And will they find something in their background? ... I am a Christian and I’ve done a lot of things in my life that I’m not proud of. And only Jesus Christ and God can judge. For me to judge someone else ... It might take time, but forgiveness is there for the taking.”

Geraldine, of Warrenton:

“Thirty years ago, what was relevant was completely different. As far as I’m concerned, if he’s doing a good job and he’s done his job well, then let him stay.”

Tim Webber, of West Virginia but works in Orlean:

“I’m not a Democrat, but I don’t think what he did was so wrong.

People are getting a little too worked up over all this. It’s something that happened years back and that was not a bad thing back then.”

Bill Waller, of Hume:

Resign? “I don’t think so. I think

he is being taken down by the Republicans for his stand on abortions.”

Margot Kilby, of Warrenton:

“It’s getting to be ludicrous now that everything can come back to haunt you in mid-life. I don’t think there’s a grown man alive who hasn’t done something stupid in their past.

It was very common [in Richmond where I was raised] for people to do that. Northam’s probably never been racist a day in his life.”

Mickey Burton, of Warrenton:

“I think he’s lost the ability to lead, so he will have to resign. But I think he’s probably gotten a raw deal. I’m suspicious of the way the whole thing went down. Something’s rotten in Denmark, was my first thought. And I have a real problem with deconstructionism, which started 30 years ago when people started denigrating Mark Twain for the way he portrayed Tom Sawyer in Huckleberry Finn. Deconstructionism is judging historical events by contemporary mores. Social norms of the time were different. In colleges, deconstructionism was rampant in the 70s and 80s – judging literature by current standards.”

Sherry Morison, of Middleburg:

“He should resign. It makes me so sad. He’s a good Democrat.”

Lindsey Adams, college student, from Marshall:

“I do think that he should resign.

His behavior as a young adult is something he must take responsibility for because it’s not like he was a child when he did it. He knew better.”

Prince William remembers its longest-serving supervisor From JENKINS, page 1 Prevention Center, the Gar-Field Police Station, the Chinn Park Regional Library and Fitness Center, the Freedom Aquatics Center and about a dozen other buildings across the county, including fire stations, schools and senior centers, according to a county news release.

He also was a strong proponent of building the Prince William County

Parkway, Caddigan said.

Caddigan, who is in her final term on the board, said Jenkins was “a visionary” who could see the value in major investments when some of his contemporaries opposed them because of their cost.

“Back then, it was different. People didn’t want to pay the extra taxes,” Caddigan said of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when county leaders debated a bond to fund the parkway’s construction.

“He did have a vision as far as the county was concerned,” she added, “And as far as growth was concerned.”

Jenkins retired from the U.S. Army as lieutenant colonel. He served two tours in Vietnam and moved to Dale City in 1973. Soon thereafter, he joined the Dale City Civic Association as the Forestdale representative, the news release said.

In 1982, he was appointed to the board of supervisors to fill the Neabsco District seat vacated by James McCoart.

Jenkins was voted by his fellow supervisors to serve as vice chairman two times and as chairman protem for the last several years.

Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, described Jenkins as “a statesman, a Vietnam veteran and a great friend.”

“I will miss him. The community will miss him,” Stewart wrote. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Ernestine Jenkins and the whole Jenkins family. His legacy lives in the many accomplishments that will nurture the citizens of his community for generations to come.”

Supervisor Marty Nohe, R-Coles, described Jenkins as one of Prince Wil-

liam County’s “greatest citizens.”

“Supervisor John Jenkins has represented his constituents on the Board of County Supervisors longer than anyone else in PWC history,” Nohe wrote. “But what made him remarkable was not the length of time that he served, but rather the commitment, passion, and dedication that he showed every minute that he was in office.

Supervisor Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, called Jenkins “a Prince William County icon.”

“John was loved universally and across multiple generations, and his impact extended well beyond his district,” Principi wrote.

“No matter where he went, residents of all ages would stop by to thank him and share a personal story of how he made a difference in their lives... We all feel his absence, even as his legacy continues to transcend our community - a community he loved, and served, so well.”

Jenkins is survived by his wife Ernestine, to whom he was married for more than 60 years, as well as three sons, 14 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | February 13, 2019

Where Virginia goes from here Scandal fully engulfed Virginia’s entire Democratic executive branch this past week, with Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring either admitting or fending off accusations of wrongdoing.

Northam's medical school yearbook page, with its picture of still-unidentified people photographed in blackface and a Ku Klux Klan hood, remains a cause of concern.

Ditto for Herring, who admitted and apologized for dressing up as a rapper in college, complete with blackface makeup.

But the allegations against Fairfax are by far the most troubling. Two women have come forward to accuse the former federal prosecutor of aggressive sexual assault in 2000 and 2004.

Fairfax forcefully denied those allegations Friday. But he nonetheless faces an avalanche of calls for his resignation and a since-muted call for his impeachment.

Opinions among Virginians are mixed as to how to move forward from these events and allegations.

Considering the state’s fraught history of racial discrimination and the more recent reckoning about sexual abuse suffered by women in the workplace and other settings -- as aired by the “me too” movement -- these revelations must be treated seriously. To do otherwise would not only be wrong but would perpetuate decades of injustice.

We stand by our belief that Northam’s governorship is severely compromised, and that it is in the best interest of the commonwealth that he resign

his position. That said, Northam has made clear he’s not going anywhere.

We appreciate that Northam has pledged to devote his time in office working toward racial conciliation and has embarked on an “apology tour.” But we must also note that his comments replacing “slavery” with the phrase "indentured servitude" do little to inspire confidence. While it’s true that some blacks brought to Virginia in the 17th century were referred to as “indentured servants” in some historical accounts, the vast majority did not come voluntarily and were trapped in bondage for life. That’s slavery.

For the governor to retain any legitimacy during the rest of his term, he needs to educate himself fully and quickly on such issues and devise meaningful initiatives to address lingering inequality soon.

Herring’s transgressions may be considered less troubling than Northam's, but he, too, should work in good faith to support Northam's efforts toward moving Virginia toward racial reconciliation.

Regarding Fairfax, an investigation, perhaps conducted by the FBI, needs to happen immediately.

It is vitally important to our society that we allow the rule of law to prevail. Whether it be Virginia’s current scandals or the Mueller investigation into connections between Russia and President Donald Trump, we cannot try cases in the court of public opinion or adopt a position of “guilty until proven innocent.”

At the same time, holding elected office is a privilege and our government officials must be held to the highest standard.

On Teacher Pay

On Jan. 28, teachers from across Virginia demonstrated for better salaries and adequate funding for public schools. As they rallied on the Capitol steps, Republicans in the House of Delegates announced they, too, would include Northam’s 5-percent raise for teachers in their state budget plan. It’s about time.

Last Wednesday, Superintendent Steven Walts proposed a 4.8 percent salary bump for Prince William County teachers and staff, which he called “the largest raise in a decade.”

A point of clarification: Prince William teachers and staff received a pay raise of about 3 percent last year. Northam’s proposal is for a 5-percent bump over two years. If Walts’ budget is fully funded, local teachers would see a raise of more than 6 percent over two years, exceeding the 5 percent proposed by the governor.

This is good news for local teachers and school division staff members who have largely seen their pay stagnate over

the last decade. While the county and state have provided small annual raises in most years since the Great Recession, they have been mostly offset by rising health-care premiums and rising contributions to Virginia’s retirement system for public employees.

This year, health-care premiums have stabilized, and the state is mandating no increase in VRS contributions, Walts said last week.

This is enormously good news for local teachers and the hardworking staff members who contribute so much to our schools and to the well-being of our greatest asset: our children.

We urge the Prince William School Board to retain Walts’ proposed raises in the budget they present to the Prince William Board of Supervisors. We further urge the supervisors to proudly fund the school board budget and its incumbent staff raises.

While we recognize the burden on counties to fund education, top-notch schools protect property values and draw businesses that boost the local tax base.

When debating the issues, we must do better When did we stop listening to common sense and recognizing the decency in each other? And, when did we stop expecting our lawmakers to do the hard work of creating responsible legislation?

I trust women. As a mother of three, I know a woman’s love for her child is the most powerful force on this planet. There is not a single woman in my life (and I would challenge you to find one in yours) that would choose to end a pregnancy in its final days unless the alternative meant causing undo suffering to her child, or risk of death to herself.

Frankly, I believe the scenario in which a woman chooses to give birth even if her own life is at the risk to be far more likely than one in which she willy-nilly opts to abort her child in

the last months of pregnancy simply out of “convenience” or worse ...because she is “pure evil.”

A debate on a bill that lessens the stress on a family that faces an impossible choice is not Armageddon, but a people who can no longer see the good in one another, or a democracy that no longer works responsibly …just might be.

The reality is…

The Richmond Times Dispatch recently reported that the Virginia Department of Health has recorded zero third-term abortions performed in the state of Virginia since 2016, and only two have been reported since 2000. Reality would seem to support that this is not a procedure that women endure often or unless

circumstances are dire, and so I ask: Why would a bill suggesting a lessening of restrictions on something so rare, spark so much anger?

And then there’s this…

Why on earth when hundreds of our children are dying from gun violence every year, thousands are affected by poverty, drug addiction and underfunded public education, is this “narrowly”-crafted bill on abortion rights in the state of Virginia the one that creates such national outrage?

In my humble opinion, the political machine (now amplified by social media) that continues to fuel division and dysfunction with misinformation and half-truths needs to be ignored!

Why not use our own minds, our own life experiences, and a close

examination of the facts to inform our position on any given issue – rather than memes, videos taken out of context and a partisan spin machine that relies on our outrage for its very survival?

Abortion is an emotional issue, and in today’s climate …so is gun safety, drug addiction and how we educate our children. But, if we continue to let emotion rather than common sense and factual evidence drive the national conversation, than we have only ourselves to blame for a legislative body that is unwilling to have the honest, substantive debate required to pass thoughtful, effective legislation.

How about we foster a government that works to make things better for all of us? Richmond and Washington will do better …when we do better.

S THESE STRONG MEN AND WOMEN rose to positions of leadership in their fields and communities, they brought others along with them: The writer who became a publisher to boost his fellow writers ... the mentor who ran for public office to speak up for children who had no voice ... the math genius who worked within a team to achieve a tech breakthrough ... ministers, an educator, and a judge who all created opportunities for others.

Dominion Energy and the Library of Virginia are proud to honor 2019’s Strong Men & Women in Virginia History. Each one has proved that when we use our talents to lift each other up, the resulting sum is greater than its parts. We all benefit when we rise together.

The Strong Men & Women in Virginia History program is sponsored by Dominion Energy and the Library of Virginia to honor the contributions of influential African-American leaders. The program also helps prepare future leaders by sponsoring an annual student writing contest with awards to students and their schools.

HOOPING IT UP FOR REAL Patriot, Potomac boys begin promising postseasons this week; Woodbridge, OP, Stonewall look to dominate on girls’ side

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Patriot Pioneers beat Osbourn Park 70-49 on the road in Manassas Friday to lock up their second consecutive Cedar Run District boys basketball title.

Patriot finished 7-1 in district play and 19-2 overall, edging out Osbourn, which finished 6-2 and was the lone Cedar Run team to beat Patriot.

“I just thought the depth we had, and the amount of skill we had, and the toughness we had was something that was going to make us better,” said Patriot coach Sherman Rivers.

The Pioneers repeated as champion despite losing four starters to graduation during the offseason.

Senior guards Devon Parrish and Hagen Vandiver helped fill the scoring voids created by graduation. They each had 16 points Friday against OP, making 6-of-9 and 7-of-13 field goals, respectively.

“I lost some really good players. But I knew that these guys were ready,” Rivers said.

“I think we were both prepared for [scoring roles] because this summer we put in a lot of work,” Vandiver said earlier this season. “I think it made it really easy for us to transition.”

Yusef Salih added 12 points and Jakai Moore had five, while Vandiver had four assists and Parrish had three.

Tyler Stringer added seven rebounds and Moore had five, while Vandiver had three steals.

Patriot took a 20-7 lead in the first quarter, a 33-20 advantage at halftime and led 50-28 entering the fourth period.

Woodbridge girls punish Gar-Field 83-7

The Woodbridge Vikings girls basketball team shut out Gar-Field in the second half and beat the Indians 83-7 at home on Friday.

The Vikings (21-1 overall, 12-0 district) outscored Gar-Field 21-2 in the first

OP-Stonewall faced Tuesday tiebreaker

The Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets forced a tiebreaker game for the Cedar Run District regular season girls basketball championship by defeating Patriot 63-38 Friday at home in Manassas.

OP and Stonewall Jackson both finished 7-1, forcing Tuesday’s special tiebreaker for the title at Osbourn High. The winner earns the No. 1 seed for this week’s district tournament semifinals Wednesday.

Vanessa Laumbach tied a season-high with 18 points while Aaliyah Pitts had 17, Camryn Platt-Morris had 15 and Taelor Willard had 10. Olivia Brooks and Adaija Bender scored eight each.

Potomac boys escape Hylton 64-53

Using a 10-0 run to start the game, the Potomac Panthers boys basketball team finished the regular season with a 64-53 road victory over Hylton on Friday.

Jakhari Taylor scored 15 points, Anthony Jackson had 14 and Ray Woods 10 as the Panthers improved to 16-5 and 11-1 in the Cardinal District.

The Bulldogs fell to 3-19 and 3-9.

Caleb Satchell had eight points and five rebounds, while Davion Morris-Dockery had seven rebounds and five blocks.

Potomac expanded their lead to 31-10 early in the first quarter and never led by fewer than seven.

Blue Ridge Seafood celebrates four decades of salt life

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Ask almost anyone living in Fauquier or Prince William counties if they know where the Blue Ridge Seafood Restaurant is, and the answer will be a variation of, “Of course. On Route 29 outside of Gainesville,” or “Sure. On Route 29 outside of Warrenton.”

The restaurant’s iconic sign with its large crab logo is viewed by thousands of travelers a day as they motor past the down-home eatery or into its often-packed parking lot. Siting the restaurant in a quiet country location and then watching development encircle it bordered on genius. But the restaurant’s success is also the result of hard work.

Rod and Cora Stringer founded the crab factory back in 1979. Working full-time as an air traffic controller, Rod Stringer parlayed a parttime gig selling crabs out of a trailer in Dranesville into the beloved seafood restaurant.

Today the Stringers are enjoying the rewards of their work as retirees in Florida. They also beam with pride as they see their creation embraced by family members who are laboring as hard as they did to satisfy seafood appetites.

Mark and Donna Donovan and their son Kyle are the faces of the restaurant today. Donna is the Stringers’ daughter. She married a man like Dad in Mark Donovan who is an entrepreneur in his own right. He owns Donovan Asphalt Paving in Warrenton.

“I grew up with a father that was always doing something. He had multiple side businesses. He would never sit still,” said Donna Donovan. “My mom worked in the restaurant for years.”

In the early days, success was fueled by personnel working at the Vint Hill military base who were among its first fans. Young Donna

It only looks like you’re at the coast.

Blue Ridge Seafood Restaurant sits on Route 29 between Warrenton and Gainesville.

Stringer and her sister Gail worked at the restaurant then.

“We helped out minimally in the beginning but then full-time as we got older,” she said.

To keep the restaurant supplied in fresh seafood, Rod Stringer traveled widely to wherever quality product could be obtained. Road trips to Florida, North Carolina and up and down the East Coast were typical. The strategy paid off as customers increasingly counted on Blue Ridge to feature choice offerings on its menu.

Mark Donovan entered the picture when he met Donna at the former Napoleon’s Restaurant in Warrenton.

“I asked her where she worked, and she said, Blue Ridge. So, I went to Blue Ridge Hardware looking for her.

I didn’t realize there was another place called Blue Ridge Seafood,” he said.

His pursuit paid off at the altar and in the late 1980s. Rod Stringer asked him to work at the restaurant. The gig turned part-time when he developed his construction businesses and then the paving company. Today he works at Blue Ridge on weekends.

The eatery’s menu has expanded over the years and now covers the gamut of seafood and more. It showcases shrimp, crabs, clams, lobster, calamari, crayfish, haddock, scallops, mahi-mahi, salmon, flounder and catfish. Oh, and gator tail.

If seafood isn’t your thing, choose from quail, chicken, steak, barbecue ribs and even frog legs. Wine, beer and cocktails round out the chock-ablock menu.

If you leave this establishment hungry, shame on you.

To reinforce the popularity of the restaurant, its classic busiest days are Mother’s and Father’s Day. “We serve a tremendous number of people on those days. Our record is 1,900 people on one Mother’s Day,” said Mark Donovan. The restaurant seats 250 people, including its outside dining area.

To ensure prompt service, a staff of about 60 people is employed as needed, including many part-time high schoolers.

The future

Several members of the family’s third generation are now taking the restaurant into the future. The Donovan’s son Kyle Donovan, 27, is increasingly the point person and his role will undoubtedly grow in years ahead.

Kyle graduated from college with studies in business and hospitality.

His success at managing the firm is giving his parents more opportunities to take time off from their demanding schedule. “It allows us to do more things on our own.

“We have a lot of customers tell us what a great job Kyle is doing,” said Donna Donovan. “I see him taking over more and more of the business.

He is very good and he’s taking our social media to another level.” Kyle is featured in a video on the company’s website.

One segment of the business getting special attention is catering.

Some modest catering occurred in the past, but it will intensify in the future. In addition to two catering trucks, a special trailer is being constructed to further advance this side of the business.

Ironically, the trailer concept casts back to the Stringers earliest days bringing the business full circle. Two major catering events occurred at Philip Carter Winery with successful crab and oyster feasts. An

THEN AND NOW: Rod and Cora Stringer started their iconic restaurant in 1979.

Now, enjoying the fruits of their labor, they are happy retirees in Florida.

Mark and Donna Donovan, along with their son Kyle, are the familiar faces of Blue Ridge Seafood today. increasing number of similar events are planned.

As the family looks ahead to the restaurant’s 50th anniversary, Donna Donovan underscores their commitment to quality.

“We use local crabs as much as we can, and all of our seafood is produced in the U.S. We buy the freshest seafood we can with no chemicals involved in its production. We pride ourselves on high quality.

“It’s also gratifying to have longtime customers come back for a meal even if they’ve left the area. You lose a lot of people over the years as they move on. We consider our customers as part of our family and they come back to visit their favorite seafood restaurant.”

Salt Injury on Ornamentals

Salt (sodium chloride) applied as a deicing agent on streets and sidewalks can cause severe damage to many species of roadside and lawn ornamentals. Damage results when the salt, dissolved in runoff water, is leached into the root zone or when it comes in contact with foliage and branches in the form of spray created by passing vehicular traffic.

Plant sensitivity to salt varies greatly among species and among individuals of the same species. Many ornamentals exhibit a very high degree of tolerance while others, particularly shallow-rooted species and evergreens, are readily injured. Symptoms of salt injury may not always be well-defined and often resemble those caused by other adverse environmental factors, particularly drought or air pollution.

Affected plants commonly exhibit some or all of the following symptoms: Delay in leaf bud break and flowering, stunted foliage and buds, reduced shoot growth, tip or marginal foliage browning, crown thinning and tufting of foliage at branch tips, premature fall coloration and defoliation, and twig mortality. Crown dieback, invasion by insect borers and weakly pathogenic fungi, and eventually total plant mortality occur in severe instances.
