More than 500 get COVID-19 vaccine at Manassas Park clinic By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Getting an unexpected COVID-19 vaccination was a little like winning the lottery, or, as George Chichester of Manassas Park put it, like getting “a golden ticket.” “I have a ticket! A golden ticket!” Chichester said as he stood in line outside the Manassas Park Community Center Friday afternoon. The ticket was actually dark blue, but that was beside the point. Its number – 489 – meant Chichester would be one of 551 people to receive a Moderna COVID-19 vaccination made available on a first-come-first-served basis Friday, Jan. 29, to anyone in the state’s 1a and 1b groups. The groups include anyone age 65 or older, as well as those between the ages of 16 and 64 with underlying health conditions. The shots were administered by the George

Democratic supervisors open to development in rural area By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Mason and Partners Clinic in Manassas Park. The clinic is part of Mason’s College of Health and Human Services and serves thousands of low income and uninsured patients in Fairfax and Prince William counties. The flagship MAP clinic is located on Tremont Street in Manassas Park. It was one of the first places in the Prince William area to offer free COVID-19 testing at the start of the pandemic and is now one of a handful of “community partners” administering COVID-19 vaccine through the Prince William Health District.
Following a party-line vote to approve a 99home development in the county’s “rural crescent,” several members of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors’ Democratic majority are saying for the first time they are open to more development in the area, including for industrial uses such as data centers and “workforce housing.” At-large board Chair Ann Wheeler (D) said in an interview Friday, Jan. 22, she would be willing to look for new commercial- and industrial-zoned land within the rural area and possibly expand the county’s data center overlay district into the rural area as the board updates the county’s comprehensive plan. “We need more commercial land and industrial land. We’ve got to find it somewhere,” Wheeler said during the board’s Jan. 19 meeting.

WALK-IN, from page 1 The clinic uses GMU nursing and medical students as vaccinators and administered about 170 to 180 shots via appointments on both Tuesday and Thursday this past week. The MAP clinic is running the operation independently from the Prince William Health District. The MAP clinic received a total of about 1,000 doses this week, including some from Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center. When it became clear that about 550 doses would be left over after its Thursday clinic, MAP officials worked with the City of Manassas Park to offer the shots to any eligible recipients – without appointments – on Friday. “If we have doses to give, we’re going to give them out,” said GMU MAP Clinic co-director Dr. Rebecca Sutter. The MAP Clinic notified senior citizen and over-55 communities in western Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park about the clinic Thursday afternoon. Then the City of Manassas Park and the City of Manassas published no-

tices on their Facebook and Twitter accounts, which spread via social media. Manassas Park City Manager Laszlo Palko said people were already waiting outside the community center when the first police officers arrived at about 7 a.m. It was bitterly cold. Since most people in line were senior citizens, Palko said they knew they had to come up with a system that would allow people to wait in their cars or even go home and return later for their shots. Palko said they anticipated the crowd and were ready with the numbered tickets. They also positioned lighted roadside signs outside the building and in the parking lot to let people know what range of numbers were being served. Once their numbers were called, recipients were allowed inside. They were asked to show an ID and fill out paperwork. After their shots, they went to a recovery room, where they waited for 15 minutes (or 30 minutes for those prone to allergic reactions) under the supervision of EMTs. Nick Iammartino, of Heritage Hunt, said he arrived at about 10:30 acres remain open. “There are businesses that would 27,152 move in if they population had larger tracts of 7,827 land,” Wheeler said. number of Supervisor Kenhomes ny Boddye, D-Oc9,000 - 10,000 coquan, also said acres actively farmed he is in favor of looking for more 330 Total farms industrial and commercial space in the county. Asked in a Jan. 22 interview whether he would support such development in the rural area, he said, “it would depend on how it was implemented.” He added that expanding industrial development into the rural area could be very costly to the county because the public infrastructure to support such uses does not exist there. But Boddye did not reject the idea altogether, saying that if there are industries that could be sited in the rural area that do not need the same level of sewer and water infrastructure as they would in the development area, then those uses, he said, “should be, not necessarily by-right, but be close to by-right.” Discussion among county leaders of siting a data center within the rural area in the Potomac District as part of the proposed Independent Hill Small Area Plan has been ongoing since last fall, but its status remains unclear. Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac, said Jan. 22 she has “not made a firm decision on a data center at all” in the area. “I think that that is a smoke screen that people were putting out there to have a narrative to prevent the development of that area,” Bailey said. Rural crescent by the numbers:
RURAL CRESCENT, from page 1 Attracting new businesses to the county, a key goal of Wheeler’s 2019 campaign, would increase the county’s commercial tax base, she said, and “reduce the [tax] burden” on county residents. The county’s current residential property tax rate of $1.125 per $100 is the sixth highest in Northern Virginia. Past boards have also aimed to increase the commercial tax base but have struggled to do so. “We need to have a longer-term vision for Prince William County,” Wheeler said. “We’re still really trying to figure out what we want to be over the next 20 years, and we need flexibility… in how we move forward to get our commercial or industrial tax base larger.” Wheeler noted dwindling space in the existing data center overlay district.

a.m. and got ticket No. 460. He and his wife waited in their car until noon when the clinic broke for lunch. By that time, the clinic had administered nearly 400 inoculations. Iammartino said they didn’t mind the wait and appreciated the smooth operation. He said he and his wife were glad to get their shots and hoped they might eventually lead to some sense of normalcy. At Heritage Hunt, he said, most activities and clubs have been shut down, except for golfing. The restaurant opened briefly for in-person dining but has since reverted to takeout. “We’ve been doing a pretty strict job of quarantining,” he said. “We haven’t eaten in a restaurant since March.” Donna and Rich Giannascoli, of Gainesville, said they too are on the county’s waitlist, she with a number of 4,000-something and he with a number of 6,000-something. They heard about the clinic from their Regency at Creekside homeowners’ association. “Who knows when we would have gotten in?” Donna Giannascoli said of the health district’s waitlist. She said they knew there would likely have to wait at the first-come-firstserved clinic but said: “It’s worth it.” The MAP Clinic is expecting
another 1,000 doses of the vaccine in the coming week and will likely offer another first-come-first-served clinic next Friday, Sutter said. The clinic is mandated to get 90% of their vaccine supply out the door every week, or they cannot re-order vaccine. “Ninety percent is a golden number for us. And we will get 90% out every week; I promise you that. You can anticipate that this is what we have, and we’re going to get [those doses] into arms,” Sutter said. Sutter said doing mass vaccinations for priority groups is likely to become more frequent moving forward as scheduling individual appointments is much slower and more difficult logistically. “I wish that we could say that we could do this at convenience, and we could vaccinate on convenience for everybody,” she added. “But the truth is we can’t. We have millions of people vaccinate. What we have to do is say, ‘This is your time that you are eligible to get this vaccine. Please come on that date and time.’ We just simply don’t have the luxury of doing convenience scheduling for millions.” Daniel Berti contributed to this report.

More than 2,400 teachers, staff receive COVID-19 vaccine By Jill Palermo
Exposed to COVID-19 at school
Times Staff Writer
More than 2,400 Prince William County school teachers and staff rolled up their sleeves to receive COVID-19 vaccinations Saturday during a “mass vaccination” event at Unity Reed High School this past weekend. Dressed in his blue doctor’s scrubs and white coat, School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef joined other school board members to help out during the event, which prompted a visit from Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, Virginia Secretary of Education Atif Qarni and other elected officials. Teachers and staff received vaccinations from a team of school nurses and other vaccinators from Novant Health UVA Health System, which operates two hospitals in the Prince William area. The vaccinations were the first of about 14,000 to be administered during a series of closed clinics for teachers and school staff members through the end of February, school division officials said.
Northam defends return to schools
The vaccinations for teachers and staff come amid the most deadly month of the pandemic so far in both Virginia and Prince William County. The state has recorded 1,417 deaths due to COVID-19 in January alone, including 56 in the Prince William Health District, which includes Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park. While most Northern Virginia schools are still operating mostly virtually, Prince William County schools have had about 13,500 students in school buildings since Jan. 5. About 1,200 special educaRURAL CRESCENT, from page 2 Bailey added that she is in favor of creating new, workforce housing for middle-income families, as well as a mix of housing, marking the first time a newly elected supervisor has advocated for increasing residential development in the rural area. Asked whether she is concerned about suburban sprawl, Bailey said the term is a “buzz word to put an element of fear into the positive possibilities of what can happen in the rural area.” Bailey also falsely claimed during the Jan. 19 board meeting that she lives in the rural area. She later said that she misspoke and does not live in the rural area but rather near Prince William Forest Park. Bailey lives in the Brittany subdivision off of Va. 234 outside Dumfries.
Large-lot landowners court data centers
The board’s interest in new development in the rural area has already pricked the ears of developers and large-lot landowners in the rural area, some of whom have been lobbying the board for years to allow data centers and higher density residential development on their land. Dale House, whose family owns Dutch Land Farm in Nokesville, declined to say whether he is open to selling his land for a data center, but a public real estate listing shows some of his land for sale with a note of “the potential for data center or higher-density residential use” with “water and sewer nearby.” House said the property is crossed by two transmission lines, which could make it suitable for data center development. Many farmers in the area, includ-
From Jan. 1-25, Prince William schools reported 856 cases of COVID-19 among students and staff that required 1,153 students and 435 staff members to quarantine. Some have tested positive or have had to quarantine because of inschool exposures. A breakdown:

The school division gradually brought students in pre-K through third grade into schools in November, December and January. COVID-19 cases reported among Prince William County students and staff have steadily risen over the last few months. The school board is considering bringing thousands of more students back into schools, starting with the fourth and fifth grades, as soon as late February. The board is set to discuss those plans during upcoming Feb. 3 and Feb. 17 school board meetings. During remarks with reporters, Northam said he believes students in Prince William and around Virginia should return to schools despite the surging numbers of cases and deaths due to COVID-19.

“If one looks at the data, we know that the schools are some of the safest places, especially if they continue to follow the guidelines,” Northam said. “And I think if we step back and look at the big picture, everybody in Virginia, everybody in this country, has been affected by COVID-19. We want to certainly keep everybody as safe and healthy as we can, but we also know that our children are hurting, their families are hurting.” See TEACHERS, page 4
Backlash to proposed development
Allowing new industrial uses, data centers and residential housing in the rural area will almost surely provoke a backlash from environmental activists, rural area residents and the board’s three Republican supervisors who want to keep the current rules in place. Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, said she has serious environmental concerns about placing data centers in the rural area, in addition to concerns about their impact on agritourism and agribusiness in the county. “Why would we not first focus on the development areas that have infrastructure means that are far better than using resources to build infrastructure out into the rural area?” Lawson asked. “You’re going to drive up that the need for massive CHART: DANIEL BERTI • SOURCE: PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY • CREATED WITH DATAWRAPPER transmission lines all over the rural area and that’s going to go over like ing House, have sought to sell their sors support us like this,” House said. a lead balloon.” farms and move out of the county Another rural area landowner, Elena Schlossberg, executive dias the population has grown.

McQuillan, who has been teaching students in person since Dec. 1, said it “felt great” to finally receive her vaccination. “I’m really grateful to be able to get it. It’s going to make it possible for me to visit my parents,” she said. McQuillan said she’s been teaching three students in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays and five students on Wednesdays and Fridays, while instructing the rest of her 23 students virtually through a computer on her desk. “It’s certainly not the way I expected to be teaching at any point in my life, but we’re putting one foot in front of the other and getting
through it,” she said. McQuillan said she understands why other school divisions are waiting until teachers are vaccinated before returning students and teachers to school buildings, but said that “wasn’t an option presented” to Prince William County teachers. “We felt we were doing everything we could possibly do to keep everyone safe,” she said. “But the truth of the matter is, I’m 6 feet away from 6-year-olds most of the day.” McQuillan was joined at Unity Reed by fellow Tyler Elementary School first-grade teacher Kari Zdanowski, who has been teaching eight of her 27 first-graders in per-
son every day and the remaining virtually. She said she feels about as safe teaching in school as she does going shopping. “I don’t know if ‘safe’ is the right word, but I feel just as safe going to Target as I do in the building,” Zdanowski said. The Prince William Education Association, the local teachers’ union, is calling for all in-person classes to return to virtual instruction now because of the surge in cases. The union has said classes should remain virtual until all teachers are fully vaccinated with both vaccine doses, which likely won’t happen until the end of March.

Peter Newsham Q&A
Q: Prince William doesn’t publish an annual use-of-force report, like both Fairfax and D.C. do. Would you be in favor an annual use-of-force report in Prince William?
NEWSHAM Q&A, from page 1 Newsham, 56, previously served as the chief of police of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department from 2017 until his retirement last month. His hiring by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors in November has been controversial in the wake of the Metropolitan police department’s response to Black Lives Matter protests last summer and because of Newsham’s sometimes contentious relationship with the Washington D.C. City Council and police reform activists. Several organizations and activist groups in Prince William, including the Prince William NAACP, CASA in Action and Prince William Mutual Aid, have opposed Newsham’s hiring, prompting several small protests in recent weeks. In a wide-ranging interview Friday, Jan. 29, Newsham talked about police reforms, including a local effort to create a civilian review board in 2021. Newsham also said he would publicly report police use-offorce data annually and would work to boost the hiring of African American and Latinx police officers. African Americans are disproportionately arrested in Prince William County, making up about 40% of arrests, but only 22% of the population. They also make up less than 10% of the police force, according to a December report by the DCist. Newsham’s responses have been edited for length and clarity:
Q: What are your thoughts on civilian review boards? Do you think they can be a tool for accountability and transparency?
A: In Washington D.C., we had what is called the office of police complaints and that is an independent agency separate and apart from the police department. They could take complaints from folks in the community who had concerns about how they were treated by the police department. I had a very good relationship with the director of the agency. I think it worked really well in Washington, D.C. They would also periodically do reports on issues they thought were important in policing and they would make recommendations to the police department for change. And that actually worked out very well between us and that agency. The large majority of the times that they made a recommendation for a process or something that they wanted changed, we would do it. There were very few times that we didn’t do it, and we would explain to the agency why we thought it was not a good idea. So, my experience in Washington D.C. is that if you do it the right way, it can be very effective. And I also think it provides for the community a place where they can go, particularly for folks who don’t trust the police, it provides a place where they can go if they have a concern with the police department.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JILL PALERMO
About 80 protesters gathered outside the McCoart county government complex Saturday, Jan. 31, to protest Newsham’s hiring.
Q: What do you see as a benefit of having a police department that looks like the place it’s policing?
A: I’m a firm believer that your police department has to reflect the community that they serve. So, I think that that’s going to be one of the priorities that I will have as the new chief is to ensure that we create a police department that looks like Prince William County. And so, to the extent that has not occurred, I will consider it one of my priorities. This is an issue where I’m really going to need help from community leaders in Prince William County, because in policing right now, we have a little bit of a problem attracting young people, but particularly young people of color into the profession of policing. So, I’m really going to need community leaders to assist with identifying young people who are interested in doing this job. And then the other part of this is to have a police department where young people of color feel comfortable working. And I’m not saying that Prince William County is not like that, but I just need to make sure that it is. And that’s going to be one of my responsibilities as well.
Q: Is it your understanding that’s an issue because of the way that police are viewed more broadly?
A: Absolutely. There’s concern from everyone regarding policing across the country and then specifically, I think there’s even more concern from young people of color. I also think there’s a little bit of peer pressure, that our peers are saying, you know, ‘How could you join a police organization?’ So, I think that what I’m going to try to explain to young folks is that this is a service profession that we do, and this is what we’re about. We’re about helping people. And if you want to be a part of that, then join the team. I think that if you’re honest in those discussions and you really show people, as a police agency, how you’re trying to help people, I think there’s going to be a lot of young people. Because one of the things I’ve noticed about the younger generation is that they do seem to really
want to be involved in service and public service. I just don’t think they necessarily look at policing as being one of those organizations. And that’s going to be my job … to point out how the police department does help people and that our number one goal every day when we come to work [is] to help folks.
Q: The Metro D.C. Police Department’s 2019 use-of-force report and an ACLU report that analyzed police traffic stops showed a disproportionate number of police use-of-force instances and traffic stops of people of color. Could you speak to those reports?
A: When you look at the stop data, I want to say a first issuance was a six-month snapshot in 2019, and then we did one at the end of 2019, and they’re going to do one every six months moving forward. That snapshot showed that there was a disproportionate number of stops on African Americans. And that information is really valuable to police. And then the harder question is, why? Why are there African Americans, for example, being disproportionately stopped. I think that’s important for the county to have that information: who’s being stopped, why they’re being stopped. Because at the end of the day, what you want to make sure is that when the police do make a stop, that the stops are just, that they’re unbiased, that they’re constitutional. And then another piece of this, and oftentimes police agencies miss this, you’ve got to explain to folks when they’re stopped, why they’re stopped. What is the information that you had that required the police to make a stop in that instance? And I think if we do all of those things, you’re going to put yourself in a better place. I don’t know what the stop data looks like in Prince William County. It’s obviously one of the things I’ll take a real good close look at. If there is disproportionate stops or disproportionate arrests in the county, then I’m going to have to try and get to the bottom of what’s causing that.
A: Absolutely. I think it’s necessary. I think people need to see, you know, at the end of the day, sometimes our job requires a use of force. If you look at the use-of-force statistics in Washington D.C., 97% of the times that the police department have to make arrests in Washington D.C., in 97% of those cases, they don’t use any force at all. And then in 3% of those cases they use force. And then in 1% of that 3%, they have to use what is described as serious force, which is a use of the taser or a service weapon. And I think that that information is something that the public ought to have. I think the police department ought to be accumulating that. I’ve already had some conversations with folks in Prince William County, and I know that they have the ability to gather that data. So, a long answer to your question is, yes, definitely, I think that’s something that we need to do.
Q: There has been lots of talk about whether police should respond to certain situations, like mental health calls, or if other first responders are better suited to take over that role. Is that something that you are in favor of doing?
A: I think that there’s a lot of this discussion going on across the country about whether the police should be doing some of the things that they do right now ... An example which I know a lot of people are talking about is when the police get called to somebody who’s in a mental health crisis. And I think in those instances, I do think we need to think about, is that a situation that we really want to put police in. It might be better suited for somebody who’s a mental health professional to be able to deal with a situation like that. Sometimes when police are injected into those situations, it can exacerbate it, it can make it worse. We don’t want that to happen. And then we can look at other things, too, that the police are doing that, people are saying, ‘the police, they probably shouldn’t be doing that.’ So, I do think that those discussions are important. But the other thing that I would caution folks is before we say, ‘We’re not going to have the police do this anymore.’ We’ve got to make sure that we have somebody in the government who does because communities have grown accustomed to having somebody handle those things. So, I think we can thoughtfully transition it to somebody else in some of those cases. I think you’ve got to do that first before you say we’re just not going to have the police do this anymore.

GUEST OPINION
Why I asked for a discussion and new vote on Gainesville High School I know this is not the most pressing issue in Prince William County schools, but I must clear up misconceptions and misrepresentations about the Gainesville High School naming. When we voted to name the county’s 13th high school “Gainesville High School” back in June, I did not know Thomas B. Gaines, Gainesville’s namesake, was a constable and a slave owner. At the time of his death in 1856, Gaines had eight slaves: Bill, Henry, Lucian, Margurite, Martha, Rose, Stephan and Wallace, according to Prince William County property records, which are a matter of public record. Gaines also served as an elected constable from 1833 to 1837 and again after 1845. A constable was a law-enforcement agent who served under the sheriff to enforce slave laws and all laws on the books at the time. I have no issue with the Gainesville area’s good people, nor was I ever asking that EVERYTHING that bears the name Gainesville be renamed. I understand the people inherited the name. I understand other people find no fault with the name, and I support their right to have that opinion. I also understand the name is derivate, but in my mind we cannot dismiss derivatives. For example, would we dismiss a school named Wallaceville if the derivative was the name of George Wallace? I, too, initially voted in favor of naming the new high school for Gainesville but changed my mind for reasons that I feel are important
LILLIE JESSIE
to share with the public. I want the community to know that : I personally do not support continuing to place this name on a school building. I do not believe I am harming anyone when I say do not want to vote for that name, as I am a descendant of slaves who lived through segregation, who was not allowed to attend the White high school directly in front of my home, who marched in the Civil Rights movement -- including the march to desegregate the same bowling alley that later became the site of the Orangeburg, S.C., massacre -- and that I was jailed for my actions. I feel strongly that the community, especially the students, had a right to know of our findings immediately and not six or seven months later. We knew on June 11. My Civil Rights story is archived in the Library of Congress. This influences my thinking daily. Because of whom I am, and because of my prior experiences in the segregated South, I cannot vote for any name that incorporates Mr. Gaines’ name. While it may not be
a big deal to others, and I respect that, I ask others to respect that it is a big deal to me. All I wanted was the right to remove my vote consenting to this name. At no time did I contact othe school board members asking them to change their vote. I JUST NEEDED TO CHANGE MINE. Our school board’s regulation for naming new schools says preference should be given to educators, especially those from Prince William County. Mrs. Lillian Orlich, who retired in 2017 at age 89 after a 67year career as a school counselor, was among the individuals whose names were suggested for the new school. Ms. Orlich was known to arrive at Osbourn Park High School as early as 3 a.m. and was featured on the cover of the National Education Association’s magazine. When the school board asked for public input on the school name, Ms. Orlich received 105 votes, second only to the late Officer Ashley Guindon, who was fatally shot in 2016 on her first day on the job with the Prince William County Police Department. Officer Guindon’s name received 210 votes. The name Gainesville received only 29 votes – 181 fewer votes than that of Guindon and 76 fewer than that of Orlich. The day after the school board voted to approve the name “Gainesville High School,” we learned about Mr. Gaines. We did not discuss our new-found knowledge nor share it with the public. I want my name to be removed in support of Gainesville, so I asked for an opportunity to take my vote away from Gainesville and
give it to Mrs. Orlich. I also wanted to inform the public of the basis for the decision. When I pursued the matter further, formally asking for it to be placed on the agenda, Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef accused me of an ethics violation. I reminded him and other board members that I was within my rights under Robert’s Rules of Order to request a new vote since I voted with the majority. When the item came up for a vote between 2 and 3 a.m. on Jan. 7, I told the board I wanted the public to hear my reasoning and knew few were watching the meeting at that time. I asked the matter to be tabled so I could present it at the next meeting. The board did not vote for that motion. Knowing that I could not achieve the goal of making my position known and feeling that I was not given a meaningful opportunity, I decided not to present my arguments at 3 a.m. I indicated I would seek another forum. This is it. I felt then and still feel strongly that the community and the students have the right to know the origin of the name “Gainesville” and now that of the new high school, whether the name is changed or not. And I cannot forget that we are placing a slave-owner’s name on a $160 million building, one of the most expensive schools in Virginia.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Slow COVID-19 vaccine rollout raises lots of questions In the past several days, I have written multiple emails plus Facebook posts and comments regarding the delay in vaccinating my son and his housemates who were living in a setting with an active case of COVID-19. (Group home for disabled, congregate setting eligible for the 1a group). Because of Down syndrome, my son has up to 10 times the risk of dying from COVID-19 as the average person. Yesterday, I learned today that residents and staff of his home will receive their immunizations later this week. I am relieved at this good news, but my son has peers that are still unvaccinated and many other concerns remain. While our health district has begun giving shots to people in phase 1b, how long will it be before all people in phase 1a are immunized? Is there someone in government who is even keeping track? I learned that within each phase the various groups are immunized in a prescribed order, with group homes for the disabled being the last
in 1a. Was this designed by the CDC, by the state, by the local health department? What was the rationale? Were there no exceptions for emergencies, such as a COVID-19 case or outbreak in a specific location? Is this strict order the reason the rollout to group homes so slow? Is it because of a lack of personnel? Is it because of a lack of vaccine? Who decides how many doses go where when? Are doses being sent elsewhere before they are sent to 1a providers? Do contracts with CVS and other providers have deadlines and penalties for noncompliance? Are there statistics being collected for each contractor about contract performance? (Number of doses received vs. number/percentage of doses delivered? Number of people for whom shots were contracted vs. number/percentage immunized?) Systemic flaws and failures need to be identified so that we are better prepared for future emergencies.
This experience of fear for my son’s life has awakened me to the need to not only monitor what is happening in government but to also ask questions and be involved. I hope it does not take such an experience or worse for others to begin speaking out.

Lots to learn at Leopold’s Preserve Broad Run conservation area offers trails, wetlands and room to roam By Cher Muzyk
Contributing Writer
The first time I visited Leopold’s Preserve was just under a year ago in March 2020. As an amateur birder, I was invited by my friend, David Larsen, who is a local birding authority and founder of the Regency Nature Lovers group. That evening, I fed my kids, readied their bath, and then ran out of the house the second my husband arrived home so I could make it to the preserve just before twilight. No time to grab a blanket or camping chair, I stood out like a sore thumb when I clumsily jogged up to the viewing area -- camera and binoculars clanking together around my neck as I pulled on my mittens. I heard just a couple of “shushes!” as I spotted David kindly waving me over among the 20 or so birders in attendance, all laser-focused on the still meadow before them. The reason we were bundled up on a cold night, staring straight ahead, motionless and silent (think the recent Bernie Sanders meme), was because were all hoping that as the sun slipped over the horizon we’d witness the rare courtship flight of the American Woodcock. Male woodcocks announce themselves with their distinctive nasally “peent” call and then take to the sky with an elaborate dance before returning to the ground hoping to have impressed a female woodcock, a display described as “one of the most magical moments in a young birder’s life.” We all eagerly awaited the dazzling show, eyes and ears at peak attention. Just past twilight, we gathered our gear and walked across Thoroughfare Drive to another possible viewing location in a lastditch effort to catch the action. As day turned to night we listened under the moonlit sky for the familiar woodcock call, but unfortunately the woodcocks stood us up that evening. It didn’t matter, I’d already fallen in love with Leopold’s Preserve.
7 miles of trails
Leopold’s Preserve, named for the famous conservationist, Aldo Leopold, is located off of Va. 55 in Haymarket and consists of more than 380 acres of natural open space open to the public from dawn until dusk every day of the year. Interestingly, the preserve completely encircles the Villages of Piedmont residential community. When the residential area was devel-

The White House Farm Foundation, a nonprofit educational foundation, owns and manages the preserve and welcomes hundreds of visitors each week. The preserve features over 7 miles of interpretive nature trails, and each one truly tells its own story. The paths are flat, wide and well-maintained, which make them easily traversable for even the youngest hikers. Rich in both nature and history, the trails offer an opportunity for visitors of every age to learn by reading 34 of interactive signs, seemingly located around every turn. When we took our 6-year-old twins to the preserve on a recent early-morning hike, my blossoming readers enjoyed running up ahead and trying to read the signs and then telling us what to look out for in the area or the story of the place we were standing. We learned about the ecology of the area, native plants, resident birds, and animals and their native habitats. We also talked about our ancestors and what it must have been like to be an Indigenous American living on the land, a farmer growing crops, and a soldier traveling through the fields and forests. In between signs, the kids ran like the wind with their hair blowing in the crisp morning air. Our dog smelled each new smell and guarded us from squirrels like a champ. While the kids relished slogging through muddy puddles, my husband and I were easily able to maneuver occasional muddy areas without any trouble. We picked up and examined rocks, spotted dark-eyed juncos foraging for food during their winter visit, and marveled at the cardinals, bluebirds and chickadees as they sang and swooped over our heads and in and out of the thickets. We also looked for animal footprints in the dirt and took turns guessing which animal was responsible for them.

Wetlands with a view
A pair of regal-looking grey and white mockingbirds, perched in pine trees with their feathers fluffed out for warmth, welcomed us to the western side of the preserve, which features a vast wetlands area. The kids were delighted when we encountered a wooden viewing platform overlooking the wetlands. We stood for a long time, breathing in the fresh air and watching the waterfowl in the distance on the marshy waters. As I savored the moment, one of my kids disturbed the peace I only find in nature to remind me that Canada Geese have “teeth” on their tongues. It is true, they do. While my family encountered
only a few other hikers on the trails, we were able to keep our distance, and everyone waved a cheerful hello and moved along on their own adventure. Whenever we reached one of the many wooden bridges or pathways on the trails, one of my kids would jump up and down while the other one watched underneath to see if any furry or slithery animals scurried out. None did on a chilly January morning, but I am certain that will change when we head back in the spring and summer to see all of the exciting changes warmer seasons bring to the preserve.

DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME Potomac boys, Colgan girls hoops lead Cardinal, OP and Patriot girls duel for Cedar Run By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
The first-place Potomac High boys basketball team has been in quarantine, but is out of it now expects to finish the regular season with three games this week as it looks to wrap up the Cardinal District title. The Panthers (7-0) still need to play third-place Hylton (5-5), sixth-place Freedom (2-5) and second-place Woodbridge (8-1). Thursday’s scheduled Woodbridge game will be the most anticipated as the revenge-minded Vikings remain in contention to share the district title. Woodbridge coach Courtney Coffer is getting excited for the big game. Woodbridge lost their only game of the year to Potomac, 79-59, on Dec. 30. Said Coffer: “At the start of the season we set team goals, and it was important to our guys to win a regular season district title. I’m so proud of their focus, and on our one-quarter-at-a-time, one-game-at-a-time approach has put us in position to at least share a piece of the district title. “All season long we have talked about controlling what we can control and with one game left in district play we have the opportunity to win a game and check off one of our goals before heading into regional play.” v
Cedar Run District boys standings John Champe (8-1), Patriot (7-2), Battlefield (6-3), Osbourn (2-4), Unity Reed (2-8), Osbourn Park (1-7)

The undefeated Colgan girls (8-0) face second-place Forest Park (7-1) in a huge season-ending showdown Wednesday. The teams squared off last week, with Colgan prevailing 45-40 on Jan. 29.
Champe in charge
Champe (8-1) leads Patriot (7-2) in the race for the Cedar Run boys title. Patriot stumbled in its rematch with Battlefield, falling 66-62 on Jan. 29, helping Champe take the lead. Champe clinches the title with wins against Osbourn Park and Osbourn. Patriot had Osbourn left. The top three – Champe, Patriot, Battlefield – qualified for the regional tournament set to begin sometime next week.

Dona Mary (Taylor) Swanson
Mary Elizabeth Seegers Grothe
September 8, 1949 – January 24, 2021
Dona Mary (Taylor) Swanson, age 79 of Nokesville passed away peacefully early Wednesday morning, January 27, 2021 at the Millville Center LTC, after a brief battle with cancer. Born in Bridgeton, NJ and raised in Cedar Grove, NJ to the late Paul and Prudence (Gordon) Taylor, Dona graduated from Millville High School, Class of 1960. She married her husband Robert Swanson in 1964 and together they raised their family, moving to several different areas and settling in Prince William County, Virginia. Over the years she always looked forward to returning to Millville, NJ and visiting family and friends several times a year. Dona loved to read books of fiction, travel, wildlife, gardening, and homesteading. It was no surprise to those who knew her that Dona would end up working in bookstores and libraries as a career. After many years of raising her children, she worked in several bookstores over the years, and became the store manager of a large B. Dalton Bookseller in Springfield, VA. In 1987 she started her career with the Prince William County library system, eventually becoming the manager at the Nokesville Neighborhood Library. After nearly 30 years of happy service, she retired in 2015. Dona was a shining star in the community she loved. She was an extremely active member of the Nokesville community, earning the distinguished honor of “Citizen of the Year” in 2012. She was instrumental in the establishment of the Nokesville Business Association and was extremely active in “Friends Uniting Nokesville.” She took great pride in founding the Price William Chapter of the Literacy Volunteers of America, which is an organization that helps adults improve their lives and the lives of their families through literacy. When Dona wasn’t working or helping her community, she could be found at her desk writing creative stories or birdwatching from her back porch. She was also a member of the Greenwich Presbyterian Church in Gainseville. Dona enjoyed traveling and often dreamed of adventures with her family to exotic far away places. Most of all, she treasured the time that she was able to share with her family, especially her grandchildren, who she loved very much. Dona will be sadly missed by her loving daughter Cheri Swanson and husband Stephen Karas of Virginia Beach; three grandchildren, Emanuel, Kevin, and Phoebe Karas of Virginia Beach; one niece Kelly Guenther of CA; one nephew Steven Taylor of CO; her cousin Nancy Eldridge of Millville, NJ; and many close friends and associates. She was predeceased by her son Christopher Swanson in 1988; and her brother Paul Taylor, Jr. A Memorial Service celebrating Dona’s life will be held in Virginia and announced at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of the Christy Funeral Home, Millville, NJ. Dona was a very giving person and anyone wishing to make a memorial contribution in her loving memory may do so to a charity of their liking. Memories and expressions of sympathy for Dona Mary Swanson may be shared on the Obituary Tribute Wall at: www.christyfuneralservice. com.
Mary Elizabeth Seegers Grothe, 75, passed away peacefully in her home on January 25, 2021. Mary was born on September 2, 1945 in New York City, and her family moved to McLean, Virginia shortly thereafter. She attended the Gunston School, a nearby boarding school, and later went on to graduate from George Washington University with a degree in nursing, a fitting degree for someone of her compassionate nature. She subsequently enrolled in the Corcoran School of Art, where she took photography classes and met her future husband, Rolland Grothe. Mary’s interest in photography began to focus on motorsports when she attended motorcycle races in which her husband Rolland and her brother, F. Scott “Scotty” Seegers, took part. When Mary set about photographing the remarkable talent of the racers, she found that they and their fans adored her photos, and many purchased her work despite being of modest financial means. By the 1970s, she was being lauded by some publishers as the nation’s greatest motorsports photographer. Ultimately, Mary’s endeavors in life contributed to the Women’s Movement as a spectacular role-model in a [dangerous] male-dominated industry; she contributed valuable historical documentation to the early world of motorsports; and finally, but perhaps most importantly, she has kept the memories of those pioneering motorcycle racers alive. A large collection of Mary’s work has been donated to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama. Mary was also very active as a conservationist for the rural lands spanning Prince William, Loudoun, Fauquier, and Clarke counties in Virginia.

Elizabeth Farmer Austin Hammon Elizabeth Farmer Austin Hammon, age 88, passed away on January 18, 2021. Called Liz by her friends, she was born in Epes, Alabama, and migrated north to earn her BSN and start her career as a registered nurse at Freedmen’s Hospital. While overseas on a military deployment with her young family, she caught the antiquing bug and was never able to shake it. Legend has it that she challenged the weight limits on military transports to bring back her haul sourced from the attics of multi-generation homes all over Germany and Austria. Upon return to the States in 1974, it was from these treasures that she started her first antiques shop in Thieves Market in Alexandria. She later started the Antique Emporium Mall in Annandale, and closed her last shop in Warrenton after 40 years in the business. Liz never met a settee she couldn’t reupholster, a chair she couldn’t re-cane or a chip on a figurine she couldn’t repair. She was a gifted artist, loved travel and great food and was a compassionate confidante to many. Liz was blessed to love and be loved by her immediate and extended family that includes 3 children and 2 grandchildren from her first marriage to Ernest Austin and 3 stepchildren and 8 step grandchildren from her second marriage to Colin Hammon, her sisters and brothers, and many nieces and nephews, who will all miss her beyond measure. A private family viewing was held. She will join Colin at Arlington National Cemetery at a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, contributions to Liz’s favorite non-profit, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, would be appreciated. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.adamsgreen.com.
Brig Gen James Lee Wilson, (USA,Ret.) Brig Gen James Lee Wilson, (USA,Ret.) passed away on Wednesday, January 13, 2021, as he would have wished at his beloved family farm in Warrenton, VA. Born May 27, 1942 in Grenola, KS to Boyd “Pete” Wilson, a road construction laborer and Lenore Miller Wilson, a small business administrator and Kansasarea local farmer. As a young man, Jim worked the Miller-family farm and road construction in Missouri and Kansas while he earned his education from Wentworth Military Academy (1962), and Pittsburgh State University (1964). Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Armor branch of the US Army in 1964; he deployed and served two tours in Vietnam. Brig Gen Wilson served nearly thirty-two years in the US Army, moved more than thirty three times with the love of his life and (late) wife of 42 years, Sandra Kaye “Sam” Wilson, to multiple countries and Army posts nation-wide; Jim served at every level of leadership from platoon leader to Deputy Commanding General, US Army South. The highest of Brig Gen Wilson’s decorations include the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal with Valor device and the Army Commendation Medal with Valor device; he was presented the Purple Heart for wounds sustained in Vietnam. He held multiple advanced academic degrees and followed his military service at the Department of State, and later with General Dynamics Land Systems, from which he retired after twelve years. The bravest and most honorable of gentlemen, kindest and loving grandfather, and devoted son, Jim sadly leaves behind his 101 yo mother, Lenore; his brother, Boyd & wife Bev Wilson of Kansas; two sons, and seven grandchildren, countless friends and family, and numerous critters on the Farm. His eldest son is James “Ty” & wife Lucinda; their children are Benjamin Rowdy, Aspen Brielle, Analiese Overraskelse, and Guinevere Cosette of Colorado. The apple of his eye and first born grandchild is Emma Lynn Bryan-Wilson of Virginia born to younger son Troy. Troy & wife Montanna have two daughters, Colby Sam and Riley Joan of Maryland. Jim is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sandra Kaye “Sam” Wilson, and his father “Pete” Wilson. Brig Gen Wilson will have full military honors and will then be laid to rest with his late wife at Arlington National Cemetery. The date for which is yet to be determined. He will be remembered as a man of humility and consequence, with penetrating but quiet charisma, and consummate sincerity. He leaves us right with God, a genuine patriot, and a doting father, grandfather, and son. Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Fauquier country SPCA and/or the American Cancer Society in the name of Brig Gen James L. Wilson, USA,Ret.

Paula is survived by her daughter Sallie Pisch (Charley), stepson Mark Pisch (Regina), and granddaughters Adrienne, Evelyn, and Emily Rose.

She graduated from Fauquier High School in 1976 and from Franklin Pierce College in 1980 with a double degree in psychology and education.
