Firm: Pipeline would ‘kill’ wetland bank By Daniel Berti
Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, visits with some of the dogs housed at the Prince William County Animal Shelter on Friday, Jan. 31. By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
“Unacceptable” is the word Supervisor Victor Angry used to describe the Prince William County Animal Shelter after touring the facility Friday. But Angry was quick to praise the shelter staff for doing the best they could in a cramped building that’s 44 years old and clearly in need of a major upgrade. “We can talk about it all day, but when you see it, it makes it a reality,” said Angry, D-Neabsco, who had not previously visited the animal shelter. “It’s a very clean environment, but it’s very packed in there. It’s too tight for what they are doing.” The animal shelter, built in 1975, has been slated for replacement since about 2015. That’s when the former board of supervisors began discussing a new shelter after allocating about $30,000
Current animal shelter
Built: 1975 Size: 6,646 square feet with outbuildings Accommodates: 30 dogs, 77 cats to upgrade the facility’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system after it was partly blamed for an outbreak of the highly contagious calicivirus, also known as FCV, that forced the shelter to euthanize 73 cats. In 2017, the supervisors voted to spend $15.1 million to demolish the existing shelter, at 14807 Bristow Road near Independent Hill, and build a new one about four times its size on the same site. At the time, a county audit of the animal shelter showed the shelter was taking in as many as 4,000 animals a year but euthanizing about 20 percent of them, sometimes due to overcrowd-

ing. The design the supervisors approved for the new shelter, dubbed “Option C,” is intended to address that problem by providing more space and by following the Association of Shelter Veterinarians’ guidelines. Angry’s visit came about 10 days after the supervisors learned construction on the new shelter will be delayed until at least late 2021 because of cost. The lowest bid came in about $13.2 million, which is $2.7 million more than the $10.5 million the county allotted for general construction.
A Fauquier-based environmental consulting firm is asking state and federal officials to suspend a key permit for a new natural gas pipeline slated for Prince William and Fauquier counties because it will run afoul of a client’s conservation easement and a pending wetland mitigation bank in Catlett. The consulting firm, Virginia Waters and Wetlands, says the Transcontinental Gas Pipeline expansion will directly impact the Miller Stream Bank Phase II wetland bank, which is pending approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. A conservation easement and restrictive deed on the property, located at 2652 Catlett Road, were recorded with Fauquier County in June 2018. Virginia Waters and Wetlands staff claim the pipeline, under its current design, will directly violate the conservation easement and prevent construction of the wetland mitigation bank altogether. The firm is asking the Federal Energy Regulatory Council, DEQ and USACE suspend Transco’s USACE-issued Nationwide Permit 12, which applies to utilities that require stream and wetland crossings.

PIPELINE, from page 1 “From the meeting that was conducted with DEQ and the USACE to discuss this impact of the pipeline, basically, it would kill the bank. The bank would not be able to be built at all and no repair of the stream or neighboring streams on this property would be done,” said Allison Austin, director of environmental consulting for Virginia Waters and Wetlands. Williams Partners spokesperson Erica Jones said the company is working with the landowners to reach a mutually agreeable solution for the mitigation bank project. DEQ Mitigation Specialist Sarah Woodford said the wetlands mitigation bank is pending approval with DEQ and USACE. But she declined to comment on whether the pipeline would impact on the project. Mitigation banks exist to allow developers to purchase of credits toward preserving area wetlands as a means of offsetting damage to wetlands or streams in other areas. A USACE spokesperson said its Warrenton field office received a letter from Virginia Waters and Wetlands requesting the permit be suspended but had not yet reviewed it. The pipeline’s Nationwide Permit 12 was issued by USACE on November 27, 2019.
Firm: Wetlands overlooked
Under its current design, the pipeline will run adjacent with the existing Transco Mainline right-of-way for the entirety of its 7.7-mile route, with the exception of a 0.3-mile pull-out where the pipeline will deviate from the exist-

ing right-of-way to avoid paralleling a waterbody on the Catlett property. Virginia Waters and Wetlands says the pull-out goes outside of the pipeline’s existing right-of-way and overlaps their client’s conservation easement for the proposed mitigation bank. Joseph Ivers, the firm’s president, said in a Dec. 17 email to DEQ that the pipeline directly violates the conservation easement and restrictive covenant on the Catlett property. “There are alternative routes that should be considered rather than losing this considerable environmental resource,” Ivers said. DEQ, in response to the complaint, said the issue is “a legal matter which is outside of the authority granted to DEQ for review of federal consistency documents under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act.” Transco, and its parent company Williams Partners, said the Southeastern Trail Expansion project, which involves upgrades to existing Transco pipeline facilities in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana, is designed to minimize environmental impacts by maximizing the use of existing energy infrastructure corridors. Virginia Waters and Wetlands also claims Transco failed to identify additional wetlands on the Catlett property that will be impacted by the pipeline and raised concerns that additional surface waters of the commonwealth may not be accounted for along the remainder of the pipeline’s route. The company’s Nationwide Permit 12 allows for permanent impacts
to about 2 acres of wetlands along the pipeline route. But Virginia Waters and Wetlands is requesting the permit be suspended because Transco’s permit application is incomplete regarding surface water impacts. “Transco’s wetland delineation was incorrect for this property in Catlett. If it’s incorrect there, it’s highly likely it’s incorrect in other locations along that 7-mile stretch,” Austin said. “It’s our opinion that they missed critical information.” Virginia Waters and Wetlands is requesting a DEQ conduct on-site inspections throughout the entire pipeline project, including an on-site jurisdictional review by USACE, to map unpermitted activity within the limits of the pipeline’s disturbance. DEQ Environmental Impact Review Manager Bettina Rayfield said the agency’s work on the project is complete, however. FERC approved the Southeastern Trail Expansion’s Environmental Assessment in October. FERC staff concluded that “approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.” A Williams Partners press release announcing the pipeline’s approval said the company aims to have the project completed and in-service by November 2020. The pipeline will cross 20 waterbodies, including five perennial streams -- Cedar Run, Kettle Run, Owl Run, South Run, and Walnut Branch -- and will impact about 2 acres of wetlands in Fauquier and Prince William counties, according to FERC’s environmental assessment. The project also will increase the horsepower at a natural gas compressor station in Manassas by 20%.
Local opposition mounts
Several state and local environmental organizations, including the Prince William Conservation Alliance, Piedmont Environmental Council, Mothers Out Front and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network Action Fund have asked state agencies to perform a more comprehensive project-specific, state-led environmental review. But DEQ says such a request is beyond its legal authority. Some state and local elected officials in Fauquier and Prince William counties have also called for a more comprehensive review of the pipeline’s en-

vironmental impacts, including Prince William County Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, and Prince William Soil and Water Conservation district Director Tiziana Bottino. Fauquier County’s Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution in November calling for the suspension of all planning, proposals, surveying, or construction of the Southeastern Trail Expansion project through Fauquier County. Dels. Lee Carter, D-50th, and Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, who represent parts of Prince William and Fauquier counties, signed a letter to Gov. Ralph Northam (D) in October, urging him to direct state agencies to reject permits for the Southeastern Trail Expansion project. Northam has so far not responded to the letter. Food and Water Action, a nonprofit environmental organization, submitted a formal petition Jan. 27 demanding a state-led review of the pipeline’s impacts to local waterways affected by its construction. Food & Water Action Virginia organizer Jolene Mafnas said the Virginia DEQ has a responsibility to review the claims like those made by Virginia Waters and Wetlands. “This just goes to show that these companies and federal agencies are putting profit over both clean water and vital conservation efforts. We are calling for Governor Northam’s administration to move swiftly to revoke its state permit 12 certification and halt the construction of the pipeline,” Mafnas said. The Southeastern Trail Expansion is one of two pipeline projects planned for Prince William and Fauquier counties this year. Virginia Natural Gas is seeking state approval to construct 9.5 miles of new pipeline across both counties to connect its existing pipeline system to the expanding Transco pipeline system. The new pipeline is needed to deliver natural gas to a new privately financed gas plant known as “C4GT” planned for Charles City County, outside Williamsburg. The company also wants to build a new compressor station and has selected two potential 25-acre sites near the intersection of the Transco pipeline and the new VNG line located on Nokesville Road in Prince William County for its construction.

Police: Woodbridge man jailed after forcing woman in trunk, taking their 1-year-old child A 27-year-old Woodbridge man was being held without bond Friday after he forced a woman inside the trunk of a vehicle parked near the Potomac Landfill in Dumfries and then took their 1-year-old child, according to police. Officers responded to the 3700 block of Greentree Lane in Dumfries at 1:58 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, after a 21-year-old woman was located inside the trunk, according to Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman for Prince William County police. The victim told police she and the man were at a residence in the 12300 block of Antietam Road in Woodbridge when he struck and kicked her, causing her and their 1-year-old son, whom she was holding at the time, to fall to the ground, Carr said in a news release.
Gar-Field student charged after found with knife, suspected drugs at school A 16-year-old Gar-Field High School student was arrested Wednesday, Jan. 29, after he was found to be in possession of a knife and suspected controlled substances on school grounds, according to police. A school resource officer at GarField High, located at 14000 Smoketown Road in Woodbridge, was notified Wednesday, Jan. 29, about a student who was found to be carrying a knife, suspected marijuana and another unidentified by suspected drug while meeting with his probation officer on school property, according
Police search for suspect in Woodbridge gas station robbery Police are still looking for a suspect in the robbery of a Sunoco gas station in Woodbridge. Officers arrived at the gas station, located at 3220 Old Bridge Road, at 5:33 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, after an employee reported that a masked man entered the store, approached the counter and demanded money before fleeing on foot toward Ridge View Court, according to Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman for the Prince William County Police Department. Officers and a police K-9 searched for the suspect, who was not locat-
tim with a bat, while the other suspects punched him, the victim told police. “At one point, the victim was able to take possession of the bat and struck one of the suspects,” Carr said in the news release. The suspects then ran to a silver vehicle parked nearby and fled in an unknown direction, the police news release said. Before the suspects left, “the silver vehicle was damaged,” police said. Later that day, the victim went to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and the police were notified, Carr said. The suspects were described only as teenage boys white and black hooded sweatshirts that partially covered their faces. Eventually the three left the residence and traveled to the area of Greentree Lane, where the man parked the vehicle and forced the woman into the trunk before leaving on foot with the baby, Carr said in a news release. The victim was located “a short time later” and the police were contacted, the release said. It’s not clear who found the woman or how long she remained in the trunk before she was found. Officers located the man nearby and took him into custody without incident. The woman reported minor injuries.

Now, county staff is working with the lowest-bidder to make adjustments intended to save money but not alter the new animal shelter’s features, according to Tom Bruun, director of the county’s department of public works. Changes include using a flat instead of a sloped roof, omitting a barn for surrendered farm animals, installing a less costly HVAC system, paving less of the parking lot, buying stormwater credits instead of building a retention pond, trimming allowances for cost overruns and switching out some interior finishes that were recommended by the animal shelter expert the county hired to consult on the new shelter, Bruun said. As an example, Bruun said the shelter will use ceramic-faced concrete bricks for the dog kennel walls instead of glazed block, which is preferred because it is easier to clean and is more resistant to bacteria. Regarding the shelter’s overall delay – it was initially hoped to be under construction in 2019 – Bruun said rising costs were a challenge at each stage of the design process. “The biggest issue was managing the project to keep it within budget, as the cost of construction rose significantly in this area and nationwide,” Bruun said in an email Monday. “At each point, costs exceeded the budget and value engineering was performed to bring the project back in budget … Some of these [value engineering] sessions were time-con-
suming and required the designer to redesign and tighten up the building.” Bruun stressed the shelter will still meet ASV guidelines. But some supervisors and residents are raising concerns about the delays and the possible ramifications of all the cost-cutting. Melissa Zoruch, president of the Prince William SPCA, says her group worries the new shelter will be too small and that the county won’t be able to afford key items that have been cut, including the barn and equipment for the veterinarian suite. “The shelter we wanted to have built … is not the shelter we are getting. It’s been reduced dramatically and we are disappointed,” Zoruch said Monday. “Our worry is that the things you cut out, you may never be able to getting funding for.” Supervisor Jeanine Lawson and Supervisor Margaret Franklin joined Angry in expressing similar concerns this week. All said they are talking with county staff to get a better understanding of the cuts. “I absolutely have angst about how this has been handled and the 18-month delay,” said Lawson, R-Brentsville. Lawson said she’s frustrated public works staff seemingly “slowwalked” the new shelter and isn’t convinced the changes won’t compromise animal care. Lawson said she’s particularly concerned about the decision to switch out the glazed block for coated concrete. “If the purpose [of building a new shelter] is to prevent the problems we’ve had with the current shelter, it doesn’t make sense,” Lawson said of the de-

Letters to the Editor
Easy access to guns a factor in veteran suicide When I was in the Army, lifesaving procedures were an essential part of training. Placing tourniquets, bandaging wounds and calling for medevac helicopters routinely cycled through our unit training calendars. But as I transitioned out of active duty, I was unprepared to deal with one of the largest threats to veterans: suicide by firearm. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, suicide claimed the lives of over 6,000 veterans every year from 2008 to 2017, and in 2017, veterans were 1.5 times more likely than their civilian counterparts to end their lives. A variety of factors are responsible for these deaths, including isolation, substance abuse and mental health disorders. But another factor crucial in ending the lives of these veterans is the method they choose to kill themselves: an easily accessible firearm. Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book, “Talking With Strangers,” refutes a long-held myth regarding suicide. For years, people believed that individuals with suicidal ideations
would end their lives regardless of the methods available. But Gladwell disputes this notion, and uses suicides in the U.K. as an example. Without access to an easy form of suicide, a large percentage of Britons overcame their problems and went on to live full lives. In the United States, firearms are ubiquitous and easy to access. These factors give veterans an easy method through which to end their own lives. While continued outreach, mental health research and treatment remain important aspects of suicide prevention, it is time to focus on the methods veterans to use end their lives. When considering how to reduce veteran suicides, options such as red flag laws, background checks, and interviews with a mental health professionals should all be given just and fair consideration.

No surprise: ‘Balance billing’ is a source of medical debt even among the insured This session, the General Assembly has an opportunity to ban surprise medical billing for emergency services. Enacting policies that protect the vulnerable should not be a fight—and yet in Virginia it has been when it comes to access and equity in health care. HB 1251, introduced by Del. Luke Torian, and SB 172 introduced by Sen. Barbara Favola, offer a bold first step in establishing patient protections in “balance billing” circumstances. Passing these bills will remove insured patients from disputes over healthcare payment. The GA has a responsibility to act now to protect consumers from being victimized when their lives are on the line. In my role as congregational engagement director at the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, I oversee our health equity advocacy programs. We have long fought for
access to affordable, quality health care for all. We recognize that getting an insurance card is not a final guarantee. A 2017 study by the Urban Institute found that most adults ages 18-64 are insured when they incur medical debt. According to a 2016 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 32% of non-elderly adults point to out-of-network charges as a source of their medical debt. Instead of being wowed by news stories of congregations or celebrities paying off medical debt in their communities, let’s urge our legislators to end one of its main drivers: surprise billing. Establishing an equitable payment structure between hospitals, providers and insurers will only contribute to greater equity in health care. That should come as no surprise. DORA MUHAMMAD Triangle

We had a lengthy debate in the Senate on repealing unnecessary restrictions on women’s access to reproductive health, including requiring an intrusive, medically-unnecessary ultrasound before seeking an abortion and rules designed to make abortion clinics extremely expensive to construct. The Senate voted 20-20, and the lieutenant governor broke the tie to approve the measure. On Tuesday, Jan. 28, the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee passed my legislation to eviscerate predatory lending in Virginia. The bill provides a 36% interest rate cap with monthly fees that result in annual percentage interest rates (APRs) of 50-110%, depending on the length of the loan. The longer the loan, the smaller the rate. The bill would prohibit the 267% loans currently allowed at title lenders, businesses that have exploded along U.S. 1 and online loans currently made at rates exceeding 400%. I expect a tough Senate floor fight. The House has already passed similar legislation. The Senate Transportation Committee approved my bill to repeal the 2004 law requiring drivers to prove legal status to obtain a Virginia driver’s license. I have worked for five years with Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-33rd, of Fairfax County, and Del. Rob Bloxsom, R-100th, of Norfolk, to pass this bill. The implementation of federal Real ID rules eliminates the need for drivers to prove legal status, which is required for a Real ID compliant driver’s licenses. This proposal is the top priority for my Hispanic

constituents. It will make our streets safer and enhance everyone’s quality of life. Imagine trying to live in our society without a driver’s license. On a 33-7 vote, the Senate passed my legislation prohibiting drivers from using handheld phones in moving vehicles. Similar legislation is moving through the House and enactment looks promising. This will reduce accidents and make our roads safer. My legislation to empower Northern Virginia localities to hold retailers accountable for failing to control their shopping carts passed the Senate 20-19. To me, this is like someone, in effect, allowing their property to be stolen thousands of times and continually expecting others to clean up the mess. The Senate approved my bill to prohibit hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” east of Interstate 95, and now the House of Delegates will consider it. This coming week we will address major issues, including the death penalty, decarbonizing our economy, criminal justice reform and protecting personal data. Hard work on the budget also begins. Please visit me in Richmond, complete my constituent survey at http://scottsurovell.org/2020-constituent-survey/ and email me at scott@scottsurovell.org if you have any feedback! It is an honor to serve as your state senator. The writer, a Democrat, represents the 36th District, which includes parts of Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties.

Special to the Fauquier Times
The National Sporting Library & Museum will celebrate the life of Phyllis Mills Wyeth, who died last year, with an exhibition created by her husband, contemporary artist Jamie Wyeth. From the late 1960s and throughout their five-decade marriage, Phyllis Wyeth was her husband’s muse. His intimate works captured moments from her life, which have been pulled together in a special collection, “Phyllis Mills Wyeth: A Celebration.” On display from Saturday, Feb. 8, through Sunday, June 28, the exhibition reflects Phyllis Wyeth’s vibrant spirit, love of nature and horses, and her ever-present dogs. The collection features 31 paintings and drawings, ranging from Jamie Wyeth’s first portrait of Phyllis – “Phyllis Mills” (1967), which captures a younger Phyllis outdoors and covered in fallen leaves -- to more recent works, such as the lushly painted “Overslept” (2018). The artist captured the many facets of his wife’s remarkable life, from her accomplishments as a carriage driver, as shown in “Into the Gorge” (1975) and “Connemara Four” (1991), to her success as a thoroughbred horse breeder and owner, most notably in “Winner’s Circle, Belmont Stakes” (2012). The last celebrates the 2012 win of Phyllis Wyeth’s champion horse, Union Rags, at that illustrious race. Paintings such as “Catching Pollen” (2012), “Stealing Holly from the Irénées” (2016), and “Southern Light” (1994), attest to Phyllis Wyeth’s love of the outdoors and the distinctive landscapes surrounding her homes in

Pennsylvania and Maine. Also on view are a selection of intimate domestic scenes painted as Christmas gifts from her husband and depicting her beloved dogs. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue were organized by the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, which was the first venue to display the exhibition. The collection then traveled to the Farnsworth Art Museum, in Rockland, Maine, and then to the Greenville County Museum of Art in Greenville, South Carolina, before the National Sporting Library & Museum in Middleburg was added as a venue. The exhibition was underwritten by Jacqueline B. Mars, vice chair of the National Sporting Library & Museum Board of Directors. “This is a personal exhibition for our community,” explained Mars, an area resident and one of the Wyeth’s lifelong friends. Phyllis Wyeth died in January 2019. “We fox hunted together with Orange County from a young age and
attended Hill,” Mars said of The Hill School, a private K-8 day school in Middleburg, founded in 1928. Mars is currently the president of the Orange County Hounds Board of Stewards and has been affiliated with the prestigious hunt for most of her life. Wyeth’s local ties ran deep. She was the younger sister of Middleburg resident Mimi Abel Smith, also an National Sporting Library & Museum board member and a lifelong sporting enthusiast who hunted with the Orange County Hounds. Abel Smith said she has fond memories of their life in Middleburg. They grew up outside of the village on Burnt Mill Farm next to Hickory Tree Farm, a renowned thoroughbred breeding, training and racing facility founded by their parents, Mr. and Mrs. James P. Mills, Sr. “My sister loved to ride and jump horses and compete in point-topoints,” noted Abel Smith. “And she was very good at it.” At the age of 21, Phyllis Wyeth was in an automobile accident.

A talented whip, she drove in coaching competitions throughout the 1980s and 90s and developed the thoroughbred breeding program at Hickory Hill. After marrying the renowned third-generation artist Jamie Wyeth in 1968, she moved her operations to Point Lookout Farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Throughout her life, Wyeth was a noted philanthropist, conservationist, environmentalist, arts supporter and a staunch advocate for the rights of the disabled. Phyllis Wyeth also worked for John F. Kennedy in her early career and was a member of the Brandywine River Museum’s first board of trustees. See WYETH, page 11

Gaining perspective en route to preschool Of late, I’ve been dropping off my granddaughter Maria for preschool. We recently celebrated her fifth birthday. On the way to get her, I’m watching the traffic, eyes on the clock, making sure the car is warm, and intent on getting her to school on time, calm and happy. As I pull in the driveway, the front door opens and her mama, Rose, gathers her bag, coat and gloves and reminds her to have a good day and listen to the teacher and Grandma. Maria is all smiles. “Good morning, Grandma,” she says. We have an SUV, and she likes to go to the back to take off her coat and put her bag down. There may be an item in the bag that she’d like to carry, so that will come out. I get her buckled into the car seat, making sure the straps are just right. (“It’s too tight, Grandma” or “It’s too loose.”) With granddaughter now secure, we are ready. Or so I would think. On a recent morning as she gingerly got into the car, her eyes widened and she exclaimed: “Grandma, there’s a pigeon … I just saw it … it’s a pigeon … it flew into the trees.” Pulling and tugging the car seat straps, I looked up and saw a large crow sitting atop the roof of a house across the street. “It’s a crow, honey … not a pigeon,” I said. “Look, he’s on the rooftop.” She looked and saw him and heard his wild cawing. I then said to her: “He’s saying good morning
FROM WHERE I SIT ANITA SHERMAN to us and wishing you a good day at school … we need to be going.” I had the radio on a classical station. “Grandma, what’s that sound?” “It’s a piano and cello.” “No, the bird’s sound … listen to him,” she said, mimicking his cawing. So, I cawed a few times at the crow who seemed to enjoy our efforts to get moving. I repeated that he was wishing us a good day and that we needed to go. Now behind the wheel and ready to back out of the driveway, I had barely released the brake when she said: “Grandma, please put down the window so I can talk to the crow.” As we pulled out, I put down the window, making sure no little fingers were in the way. She leaned out to caw again to the crow who continued his cawing cacophony. I wasn’t going to keep the window down with 30-degree air rushing in. So after a bit, I put it up, again watching for fingers. Now on the road, Maria’s thoughts remained fixed on the crow as the piano and cello concerto played in the background.
“Grandma, what do crows do? What are they about?” she asked me. I told her that they were fairly wild birds and usually hung around in groups. It was rather unusual to see one sitting on top of the roof, I said. As we neared the cross street where I turn left, she spotted more crows in a group of trees. “Look Grandma, there are more crows … Do you see them? … They are in the trees over there.” Now nearly at the school, I found myself smiling at the exuberance of a young mind, a young girl awestruck at what we take for granted -- a creature of nature on a chilly morning. How blissful for her not to share my sense of urgency, my sense of timing. Feeling pressured and being a slave to the clock is an acquired trait we seem to adopt more as adults. For children, there is time to wonder, time to seize magical moments and time to stop and see the crows. Once at school, I got her unbuckled, and she went to retrieve her coat and bag as other cars queued up. Animated and sparkling, with wide eyes and a beautiful smile, she climbed out of the car to greet her teacher. “We saw a crow … we saw a crow!” “Yes,” I told her teacher. “He wished us a good day and to have a good day at school.” She smiled.

WYETH, from page 10 National Sporting Library & Museum Executive Director Elizabeth von Hassell said she is a strong supporter of the exhibition. “The exhibition is an intimate tribute by one of the most recognized artists of our time to his wife, a loving testimony to their 50-year marriage, and the embodiment of Phyllis’s tenacious spirit,” von Hassell said. “I can’t think of a more fitting location to celebrate Phyllis Wyeth’s sporting legacy.” The National Sporting Library & Museum, located in Middleburg, was founded in 1954.

OBITUARIES Richard Gaines Stokes Jr Bluemont, Virginia. Richard Gaines Stokes Jr, age 86, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 9, 2020. Born in Lynchburg, Virginia on January 30, 1933 to Richard Gaines Stokes and Mary Douglass Off, Richard spent his life in the Commonwealth where he could not work a day without whistling and could not attend a party without his infectious laugh being heard by all. Always industrious, Richard worked as a USPS mail carrier and as a technician for a radio company during summers before college. Graduating from UVA in 1955, Richard joined the army, where he served as a Captain in the Signal Corp. A lifelong engineer and entrepreneur, Richard co-founded several technology companies including Aspheronics (night-vision instruments), Chorus Data Systems (image data processing), and Cuneiform (electronic typesetting). Operating out of Shenstone Farm in Leesburg, Richard was a thoroughbred breeder for the Saratoga sales in the 1970s and 1980s, where he long held the record for a yearling filly. A consummate horseman, Richard was a Whip for the Loudoun Hunt and can still be spotted wearing a scarlet coat during a hunt scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s film Marnie. Married to Diana Johnson of New Brunswick, NJ from 1959 to 1973, Richard is survived by his children Lorna, Chris and Cricket (Diana) and 6 grandchildren: Charlotte, Madelyn, Lilly, Grace, Ben and Will. Ellen Waterman, his loving companion of many years, saw him through to the end. There was reception at Cox Hall, Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Va. on February 1.
Myra-Jean Muscar Myra-Jean Muscar, 74 of Warrenton, VA passed away on Wednesday, January 29, 2020. She was born on April 4, 1945 in Oakland, CA to Thomas William Stemm and Helen Myra Benson. Myra grew up in Oakland, CA and moved east in 1966 and married Jake Muscar a year later. They shared almost 53 loving years together, during which time she helped raise their three boys of which she was extremely proud. She also enjoyed her time as a co-owner of the Stitching Post on Main Street and as a local Hospice volunteer. She shared her joy of music through singing and playing handbells in the Warrenton Chorale for 34 years and the Warrenton Presbyterian Church for 42 years. Myra loved working in her flower gardens, especially irises, both at home and at their cabin in West Virginia. She enjoyed making home-cooked meals, playing games with family and bridge with friends, cheering on her favorite sports teams and watching nature out her kitchen window while having a glass of wine. She will not only be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother (Meema), sister, aunt and friend, but also as a person of caring and compassion, giving of herself to others and living her faith. She is survived by husband Jake Muscar, Jr; sons Scott (Laura), Jim (Stacy), and Mark; grandchildren Emma, Tyler, Julia and Jake. She is also survived by her sisters Carolyn Nystrom and Marcia Stemm. The family will receive visitors on Friday, February 7, 2020 from 3-5 pm and 7-9 pm at Moser Funeral Home (233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA 20186).
