County’s comprehensive plan update proposes big changes for rural areas By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County planners have revealed their long-awaited comprehensive plan update – a draft document that, if adopted by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, will provide a blueprint for local land-use decisions for the next two decades. Among the most significant changes outlined in the draft: the elimination of the county’s rural area designation from the map, known to many as the “rural crescent.” For the last 24 years, the county has limited development in the designated rural area to one home per 10 acres and has mostly prohibited connections to the public sewer lines. The area known as the rural crescent comprises about 117,000 acres along the county’s western boundaries. About 80,000 acres are privately owned. The rest are parts of the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the Conway Robinson Memorial State Forest, Prince

Superintendent pitches 7% raises for teachers, staff

Budget boosts overall spending 14% By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County schools Superintendent LaTanya McDade is proposing a significant boost in spending for county schools next year that, if enacted, would bring per-pupil spending in the county to its highest level since 2009 when adjusted for inflation. McDade’s proposed budget totals $1.5 billion in spending for fiscal year 2023. That’s an increase of about $173.1 million or Superintendent 14% over the current year budLaTanya McDade get. The spending plan includes $61 million to provide teachers and staff with an average 7% pay raise. The boost includes a step increase and a 4.2% cost of living increase. See BUDGET BOOST, page 5

The county’s draft map, released Wednesday, Feb. 2, proposes replacing the privately owned land in the rural area with a new “agricultural and forestry” designation that would double the number of homes that could be built there. As proposed, the new plan could effectively upzone the area to one home per 5 acres. See RURAL, page 4

Virginia’s ongoing debate about masks in public schools – and who should decide whether students and staff must wear them – took a surprising turn Tuesday when the Democratic-controlled state Senate approved a measure giving parents the power to decide whether their children don masks on school property. The move came in an amendment to an existing state law sponsored by state Sen. Chap Petersen, D-34th, of Fairfax County, and was approved in a bipartisan 29-9 vote with 10 Demo-

John Bell (13th) and Scott Surovell (36th) and Republican Richard Stuart (28th). Sen. George Barker, D-39th, voted against the amendment, while Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, said in an interview Tuesday he missed the vote because he had to step out of the chamber. Still, McPike said he opposes the amendment as See MASKS, page 2

COVID-19 cases drop but deaths spike COVID-19 cases continued to decline this week in Prince William County and much of the commonwealth, leading the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute to conclude that the surge driven by the omicron variant likely peaked on Jan. 16. But deaths reported across Virginia over the past two weeks spiked as the Virginia Health Department began posting the pandemic’s most recent victims, most of whom died in January. Locally, the Prince William Health District, which includes the county, Manassas and Manassas Park, added 35 new deaths in the past week and 46 over the past two weeks, according to VDH data. Once again, older residents suffered the brunt of the pandemic’s deadly toll. The deaths of 12 local residents in their 70s were reported in the past two weeks, while the local health district lost an additional 14 residents age 80 or older.

Elder residents age 80 or older have suffered the highest death toll across the state since the pandemic began. Locally, 244 residents in that age group have died due to COVID-19 since March 2020. The losses of another nine residents in their 60s were reported over the last week, bringing that group’s total losses to 158 locally. Meanwhile, there were seven deaths reported among residents in their 50s, six among residents in their 40s and two among residents in their 30s. Those groups have lost 89, 38 and 21 residents, respectively, according to VDH data. The health district’s death toll since the pandemic began stood at 745 as of Wednesday, Feb. 9, and included the losses of 667 residents from Prince William County, 62 from the City of Manassas and 16 from Manassas Park. --JILL PALERMO

Va. Senate moves to allow parents to decide on masks MASKS, from page 1 a “reactionary” overreach of school boards’ control under the state Constitution and that he would have opposed it had he been at his seat when the vote was taken. The amendment, if approved, would codify what Gov. Glenn Youngkin tried to do with his Executive Order 2: allow parents to ignore school divisions’ mask mandates. Youngkin immediately issued a statement in support of the state Senate vote Tuesday, Feb. 8, calling it a bipartisan effort to “put Virginians first.” “I look forward to signing this bill when it comes to my desk,” Youngkin said in a statement. Youngkin’s executive order on masks, issued hours after he was inaugurated on Jan. 15, came when COVID-19 cases were surging across the state. It was met with defiance from at least 70 Virginia school divisions – including nearly all in heavily Democratic Northern Virginia – and was soon challenged by at least four lawsuits. Among them is an ongoing lawsuit filed by seven Virginia school divisions, including Prince William, Arlington and Fairfax counties and the cities of Alexandria, Richmond, Falls Church and Hampton, that won a temporary injunction from an Arlington County judge on Friday, Feb. 4. Judge Louise DiMatteo blocked the order from taking effect on the grounds that it conflicts with an existing state law, known as Senate Bill 1303, which requires schools to offer in-person instruction five days a week while following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines “to the maximum extent practicable.” The CDC, as well as the Virginia chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommends universal masking in schools while COVID-19 transmission rates are high -- as they are across the state although cases have been on a downward trend in recent weeks. Peterson’s measure would amend that same state law to clarify that parents can decide whether their children wear masks. The amendment states that the parent of any child enrolled in a public school or early-childhood care program “may

elect for such child to not wear a mask while on school property.” The amendment also says parents don’t have to provide a reason for sending their children to school without masks and that students cannot “suffer any adverse disciplinary or academic consequences as a result of this parental election.”

Effective date was unclear

The measure is expected to be taken up and passed by the Republican-controlled Virginia House of Delegates as soon as Wednesday, according to news reports, and would take effect on July 1 unless it is amended by the governor to take effect earlier – a strategy currently being considered by the Youngkin administration, according to the Washington Post. The Post, citing an unnamed Youngkin aide, said the governor is considering adding an emergency clause that would require the law to go into effect immediately. That addition would have to go back to both chambers for a vote, but while most bills with emergency clauses require 80% approval from the legislature, a governor’s request needs only a simple majority. If that happens, the mask law could go into effect as soon as the end of February, the Post reported. In an interview after the Senate’s vote Tuesday, both Surovell and Bell said they voted for the bill in part because they understood it would not take effect until July 1. “That was an important factor to me,” Surovell said. Bell, meanwhile, called the bill “a next year thing” that is “unlikely to have an emergency clause.” Surovell said he expects the pandemic to be heading toward endemic status by mid-summer with the virus diminishing to something closer to the common cold by the time students head back to school next school year. “It seems to me that’s the scientific consensus of where this is going to end up,” Surovell said, citing articles in “The Lancet” and other medical journals. Bell said he does not believe requiring students to wear “just a cloth mask” has been very effective in stopping the spread of the virus.

Surovell also noted that over the past week, Democratic governors from states such as New Jersey, Delaware and California moved to loosen their state’s mask mandates. But he conceded that Petersen’s amendment differs in that it puts parents – not localities – in charge of whether students wear masks. Asked whether he is concerned about what might happen if the pandemic worsens, Surovell said: “If it becomes a problem, the legislature might have to step in again.” Bell said he believes that school boards should have decision-making power over most aspects of public schools but that allowing parents to make decisions about masks is “the right thing to do.” “I believe in our school boards, but in this case, I think this is the right thing to do for Virginia,” Bell said. McPike, however, said he takes issue with the legislature meddling in decisions that should remain with local school boards. “Everyone wants schools to get back to normal but having something like this in the [state] code is not a good idea,” said McPike, who has three school-age children. “It’s reactionary. … In our Constitution, we leave [those decisions] to the school boards. It’s very clear.” If the measure passes, he added, “more than likely, the General Assembly is going to have to address this again.”

Support from Prince William School Board chairman

At least one Prince William County School Board member, Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef (at large) said he supports Petersen’s amendment and believes it should “go into effect immediately.” Lateef further said it was his understanding that the amendment would not have to wait until July 1, although he was not clear on the latest developments as of early Tuesday evening. Lateef, a Democrat and a physician, said he does not believe “the science” supports mask-wearing as an effective mitigation strategy against the spread of COVID-19 in schools. Lateef said he further agrees with Youngkin that parents should have the power to decide whether their children must wear masks. Lateef has three children who attend Prince William County schools. Then why did Lateef join the Prince William County School Board in challenging Youngkin’s Executive Order in court? That, Lateef said, was a decision relating to the separation of powers under the Virginia Constitution -- not about wearing masks. “If we allow the governor to tell us what to do about masks, then he can tell us what to do about anything,” Lateef said. “While I agree with him on masking, I don’t believe he can tell the school board what to do.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com Classified Sales manager Jeanne Cobert, 540-878-2491 jcobert@fauquier.com

QTS confirms interest in ‘PW Digital Gateway’ Firm is the first to reveal plans to acquire land for data centers near the Manassas battlefield By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Data center development company QTS Realty Trust, Inc. is “seeking to acquire” 800 acres of land within the proposed “PW Digital Gateway,” according to a QTS spokesman and Prince William County officials. “QTS has been approached and is seeking to acquire land as part of the Prince William County Digital Gateway project,” a QTS spokesman wrote in a statement to Prince William Times. The firm, which operates a data center on Godwin Drive in Manassas, is the first to confirm its interest in a controversial proposal to replan about 2,133 acres near the Manassas National Battlefield Park for new data centers. “This is a unique opportunity to play a role in what could be the most significant economic development initiative in the county’s history. QTS has a strong track record of being a considerate, supportive and sustainable neighbor and is committed to a thoughtful development strategy that will preserve the historical significance and aesthetic beauty of the area,” the statement said. QTS Realty Trust, Inc. is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. It has a significant data center footprint in Northern Virginia, including the Godwin Drive data center complex in Manassas and several in Ashburn. The company calls itself “a sustainable energy leader” in the data center industry and pledges to procure 100% of its power requirements from renewable energy sources by 2025, according to its website. QTS’ proposed development is estimated to cre-

The PW Digital Gateway is a landowner-driven comprehensive plan amendment being pursued by more than 200 individual land and homeowners who live along Pageland Lane in western Prince William County. If approved, the CPA would replan the area to allow data center uses on up to 2,133 acres of land adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors is expected to vote on the PW Digital Gateway CPA in May. If it’s approved, any data center development there will still require additional rezonings from the county board. A QTS spokesman said a formal rezoning application from the company “is coming,” but he declined to comment on when it would be filed. Specifics such as building size, height, buffering and other particulars are typically hammered out during the rezoning process and detailed in a proffer agreement, which is legally binding. “We’re engaging in extensive studies to look at the entirety of this land as a whole because we think we have a really unique opportunity here to be, not only good neighbors, but also stewards of the park,” the spokesman said. Speaking about viewshed and sound concerns from any potential data centers, he said QTS is “taking all of those things very, very seriously and are factoring all of those into the design plan.” QTS is seeking the county’s “targeted industry” status, a designation that would “fast-track” the project’s permitting process, Winn said. But that process would begin only after a rezoning application is filed. The PW Digital Gateway proposal has touched off a wave of opposition from environmental and conservation groups and residents who live in the Gainesville area who are worried about its impact on their community. It’s also drawn fire from former Manassas National Battlefield Park Superintendent Brandon Bies, who called the PW Digital Gateway, “the single greatest threat to the park in three decades.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com

The end of the ‘rural crescent’? RURAL, from page 1 Prince William County Long Range Land Use Planner David McGettigan confirmed in an interview Thursday, Feb. 3 that the county’s proposed new land-use map eliminates the rural area and the rural area boundary entirely. “It’s a major update,” to the comprehensive plan, McGettigan said.

New designations

In all, McGettigan said around 75,000 acres will fall under the new “agricultural and forestry” designation, and another 5,100 acres would be replanned for even higher residential densities under three new “rural place types.” Those designations are: “village mixed use,” “hamlet mixed use” and “conservation residential.” The “conservation residential” designation would allow for clustered home developments with up to one home per 2 acres if 60% of a developments total acreage is placed in a permanent conservation easement. As proposed, the designation would comprise roughly 3,500 acres of what is currently the rural area. Areas proposed for conservation residential roughly align with requests made by individual rural landowners who told the county earlier this year they intended to sell their land to developers, including Dale House, who recently closed his Dutch Land Farms in Nokesville, and Brad Smith, who owns Smith Family Farms in Gainesville. Another 1,600 acres in the rural area would be reimagined as “hamlet mixed use” and “village mixed use” districts to allow increased residential densities and commercial uses in areas that have “their own distinct character,” according to the proposed map. Areas that would be replanned under those designations are Nokesville, Greenwich, Woolsey, Catharpin and historic Brentsville. Hamlet mixed use districts would allow up to one home per 2 acres, while “village mixed use” districts would allow up to four houses per acre, including townhouses. The changes, if approved, would alter only the county’s long-range planning map, known as the comprehensive plan. Any specific devel-

opment that proposes more homes in the rural area above the current limits will still require a separate rezoning application approved by the board of county supervisors, McGettigan said. The county’s draft land-use chapter was created by county planners and an independent firm hired by the county to assist in the update. McGettigan said the planning office consulted all eight county supervisors to solicit their input as they began updating the land use chapter – but he said none of the supervisors specifically requested eliminating the rural area designation from the map. McGettigan said the decision to allow increased housing density in the rural area was primarily prompted by a housing analysis of the county conducted by RKG Associates, a Washington D.C.-based economic planning firm, in 2021. The analysis found that the county’s ongoing housing shortage, widely blamed for driving up housing costs across the county, could persist for decades if the county does not open additional land for development. The report found the “rural crescent” designation to be “antithetical” to the county’s affordable housing goals. The county’s population has rapidly grown since the rural area was created by the board of county supervisors in 1998, adding more than 210,000 new residents. But the vast majority of new residents have moved to the county’s “development area” because housing in the rural area is intentionally restricted. “There is a need for more supply, and our current comprehensive plan doesn’t meet our needs,” McGettigan said. “We’ve run out of land for housing.” The county’s draft of the updated land-use chapter was published for the first time Feb. 2, but it is already being criticized by local civic and environmental groups The Coalition to Protect Prince William County and the Prince William Conservation Alliance. Both organizations have fought for years to preserve the “rural crescent” in its current form. Elena Schlossberg-Kunkel, executive director of The Coalition, said she was “shocked” to see the extent

of the changes being proposed in the updated comprehensive plan, adding that the county’s proposals were not a reflection of community voices in the rural area. “They don’t know what they’re doing,” Schlossberg said. “Everybody should be scared s---less.” Kim Hosen, executive director of the Prince William Conservation Alliance, and Schlossberg-Kunkel both said they believe the changes will increase suburban sprawl in Prince William County, causing more traffic and the need for road-widenings and other infrastructure improvements that could be a burden on the county’s budget. “For over 20 years, the rural crescent has been the county’s best tool to combat sprawl development. The haphazard proposals we’re looking at now will take that tool out of the toolbox,” Hosen said. The county’s “rural crescent” was created in 1998 with the intention of slowing the county’s growth. It was a highly contentious land-use decision that was most vociferously opposed by county supervisors representing the areas that would be most impacted by it – the Gainesville and Brentsville districts. At the time of its creation, former county attorney Sharon Pandek claimed the “rural crescent” would slow the county’s already fast-growing population, reducing the 20-year

projected population from 475,000 to 391,000 – a prediction that did not come to fruition.

Higher density development proposed outside the rural area

The changes to the rural area are only one piece of the comprehensive plan land use update. Within the development area, planners are proposing significant changes that would reimagine 10 areas of the county: Dumfries; Haymarket; Liberia Avenue at Prince William Parkway; mid-county area near the fairgrounds; Potomac Mills;Sudley Road at Interstate 66; the U.S. 1 corridor; Bethlehem Road and Yorkshire. The update would allow for higher residential densities, new commercial and industrial areas and mixed-use development in some or all of those areas. The county’s land-use chapter update is expected to reach the Prince William County Planning Commission and the Board of County Supervisors as soon as May. The planning office will be hosting an in-person community meeting on the Pathway to 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update on Thursday, Feb. 10 at the Beacon Hall Conference Center on the George Mason University SciTech Campus in Manassas.

POLICE BRIEFS Elderly Dale City man dies in house fire An 83-year-old man has died from injuries he suffered last week in a fire at his Dale City home that officials say was electrical in nature and accidental, according to Prince William County Fire and Rescue Department officials. Mohammad Bashir Kahn, 83, died on Sunday, Feb. 6, at the Washington Hospital Center. Kahn was rescued from his burning home, located in the 4000 block of Montega Drive in Dale City, after firefighters arrived at about 11:24 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 1, and found the single-family home with heavy fire and

smoke, according to Prince William County Assistant Fire Chief Matt Smolsky. Firefighters found and rescued Kahn, the only person home at the time of the fire, and immediately began administering life-saving care, Smolsky said in an earlier news release. Kahn was transported to a regional burn unit via helicopter. His cause of death has not yet been determined, Smolsky said. A total of six adults and one child were displaced by the fire, Smolsky said.

Suspect named in Manassas shooting injuring 2 Prince William County police are looking for a 39-year-old Manassas man in connection with a Jan. 23 shooting outside a Yorkshire area restaurant that left two people injured. Two men, a 22-year-old and a 32-year-old, were treated for gunshot wounds at an area hospital following the shooting, which began outside the La Isla restaurant, located at 8699 Parkland St. in the Yorkshire area of Manassas. On Sunday, Feb. 6, police released the name and photo of a suspect whom detectives identified through surveillance footage taken from the restaurant, according to 1st Sgt. Jona-

Superintendent pitches 7% raises for teachers, staff BUDGET BOOST, from page 1 McDade is also dedicating an additional $20 million toward making pay for “early and mid-career” teachers more competitive because those positions have the “least parity” with other school divisions, she said. “First and foremost, this is a budget that is teacher and student centric, with the bulk of our new investments going to support the classroom and our schools where they are most needed,” McDade said. “As a school division, we do not control our revenues up or down, and we are fortunate this year to have strong state and county budgets that are crucial to our ability to fund our schools both adequately and equitably.” The budget outlines a marked increase in spending for new employee positions aimed at supporting teachers and students in the classroom. Those new hires would include 100 full-time special education assistants, 88 full-time kindergarten teaching assistants, 35 parent liaisons, 30 security assistants, 15 career counselors, five school social workers and 14 additional school nurses. “As we have heard from our instructional staff, beyond their own pay and benefits, they urgently need more support in the classroom. This budget specifically includes a focus on our early learners and support for our special education teachers and students,” McDade said. The proposed budget would see the county’s annual per-pupil spending rise to $15,662 – the highest per-pupil spending rate since 2009 when adjusted for inflation. Prince William County schools Chief Financial Officer John Wallingford told the school board that the proposed per-pupil expenditure is “greater than we’ve ever experienced.” Prince William County schools is spending about $13,408 per student this school year, ac-

Prince William County schools’ Superintendent LaTanya McDade, shown on the screen at the top right, presented her $1.5 billion budget for the 2022-23 school year to the school board Wednesday, Feb. 3. cording to McDade’s budget presentation. Wallingford said roughly 80% of the school division’s budget would go toward instruction. The proposed budget would include a $50.6 million increase in the county government’s transfer to the school division over the current year. It also includes a big boost in state funding year-over-year from $610 million to $732 million – a nearly 20% increase. The amount of money allocated to the school division from the Virginia state budget could change during the Virginia General Assembly session this winter. The state provides nearly half of the school division’s total funding every year. School board members praised the proposed budget as a major step in the right direction for the county’s school division. “This budget paints a much brighter picture for the future of this county,” said School Board Chair Dr. Babur Lateef (at-large). “We are still be-

hind other school divisions in salary, but we are making some real progress.” School board member Jennifer Wall (Gainesville) said she wanted to make sure the board moves the budget forward “in a way that is fiscally responsible.” Wall said McDade’s proposed budget has “some of my highest priorities, especially opportunities for student academic excellence and seeing a real investment of resources into our classrooms.” School Board member Loree Williams (Woodbridge) said the proposed budget marked the first time since she began serving on the board that she’s felt the school’s proposed budget would adequately meet the needs of the county students and staff. “I’m just overall pleased that I don’t have to, for the first time, sit on this board and worry about whether or not we’re going to pay for basic things for our students. The horrible, critical unmet needs list has gone away because it’s already incorporated in [the budget],” Williams said. School board member Lisa Zargarpur (Coles) commended McDade’s inclusion of additional teacher assistants for special education and kindergarten teachers. “One of the things that we keep hearing over and over and over from many different teachers is how much is on their plates and what can we take off,” Zargarpur said. “Those two categories alone are going to go a long way.” There will be multiple opportunities for the public to weigh in on the budget. The school board has scheduled a public hearing on Feb. 16, and two budget work sessions before they consider approval of the budget on March 16. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors will consider the school division’s budget before May 1. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Assumptions about Youngkin’s tip line unfounded Some says the purpose of Governor Youngkin’s “tip line” is to alert his office about schools teaching “divisive” subjects, “primarily our nation’s history of slavery and overt racism.” However, there is no evidence supporting that claim. In fact, Youngkin’s executive order says, “We must equip our teachers to teach our students the entirety of our history – both good and bad. From the horrors of American slavery and segregation, and our country’s treatment of Native Americans, to the triumph of America’s Greatest Generation against the Nazi Empire, the heroic efforts of Americans in the Civil Rights Movement, and our country’s defeat of the Soviet Union and the ills of Communism, we must provide our students with the facts and context necessary to understand these important events.” Moreover, the EO specifically identifies the “divisive concepts” to be ended in K-12 public education: that one race, sex, or faith is superior to another; that one’s race, sex, or faith, makes them racist, sexist, or oppressive; that someone should be discriminated against because of their race, sex or faith; that members of one race, sex or faith cannot treat others as individuals irrespective of their race, sex or faith; that

one’s moral character is determined by their race, sex, or faith; that one’s race, sex, or faith makes them responsible for the past actions of others; and that meritocracy or traits, such as a hard work ethic, are racist, sexist, or were created by one race to oppress another race. GEORGE KORTE Warrenton

Development ideas point to a race to the bottom I didn’t think it was possible for remotely responsible government officials to lend legitimacy to any half-baked idea more obscene than the ‘Prince William Digital Gateway.” But our guardians of the public trust have truly outdone themselves by letting the ridiculous House Farm rezoning proposal breathe fresh air. It makes me think that maybe the county could sponsor a “race to the bottom” contest. Contestants could send in their ideas for who can ruin the county fastest and in the most offensive manner. Maybe we could turn Prince William For-

est Park into an open pit coal mine. Quantico National Cemetery could be repurposed for tractor pulls or demolition derbies. Manassas National Battlefield Park would make a great toxic waste dump, entirely compatible with the adjacent data center theme park. It would be hard to top the odious ideas currently under consideration by our county officials, but let our creative citizenry give it a try. The winner would then be given the honor of renaming the county planning office. Since it obviously has nothing to do with planning, maybe we could call it

the “Accidental Office” or the “Office of Haphazard.” An alliterative choice would be the “Devastation Division.” We could even have a game show where contestants compete for the most brazen rezoning requests in the format of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” These ideas can be rolled out with the Pathway to 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. Developers, get your bulldozers ready. This is going to be fun. BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

County honors 7 with annual human rights awards By Aileen Streng

Frank Washington, left, with his brother, Dulany Washington, right, speaks about the Thoroughfare cemeteries in April 2021. Frank Washington was honored with a Prince William County Human Rights award for his work to preserve the cemeteries.

Contributing Writer

The Prince William County Human Rights Commission recently celebrated Universal Human Rights Day by honoring seven local residents and organizations for their work in promoting and advocating for their neighbors’ human rights. The honorees included a businesswoman with a heart for the homeless; a businessman who coordinated local efforts to help hundreds of Afghan refugees; an advocate for historic African American cemeteries threatened by development; a nonprofit shelter for homeless pregnant women; two fraternities for their charitable work; and the Prince William County Police Department for its efforts to examine challenges with implicit bias, use of force, recruitment, selection and officer retention. All were honored in a virtual ceremony in January that featured encouraging words from Prince William County schools Superintendent LaTanya McDade, Prince William Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler, U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly and Delores Huerta, co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association, according to a county news release. Honorees and the good works for which they were recognized included:

Sharita Rouse, founder of Tummy YumYum Gourmet Candy Apples in Manassas, was honored for her work on behalf of the hungry and homeless. Rouse dedicated the award to a homeless friend who recently died. “I count it as an honor to be amongst many of you. I’m just grateful to God Sharita Rouse that he has given me the grace to do this,” Rouse said. She suggested that all residents can help the homeless by keeping what she called “blessing bags,” with things such as toothbrushes, gloves, hats and socks, for homeless residents they may encounter in the community. “I would just like for you all to be cognizant and think about those who are out in the cold during the wintertime. Those things mean the

world to people standing outside with nothing,” she said. The Omicron Zeta Sigma chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. was recognized for its “Souls to Polls” initiative that helped roughly 1,000 cast their ballots. “The men of Sigma recognize our continuing duty to be a part of the solution,” said Deon Young, speaking for the Deon Young fraternity. “[O]ur membership has worked through our project vote initiative toward registering, educating and mobilizing our county’s eligible population so that they can use their voice to demand leadership and policies that end the ability of oppression and violence to run rampant in our society.” Yaqub Zargarpur, coordinator of the Afghan Refugee Relief Task Force, was recognized for helping Afghan refugees by coordinating doctors, nurses and translators; gathering Korans; and arranging Friday prayers. The task force also provided feminine hygiene products, Yaqub Zargarpur clothing, shoes, diapers and baby formula. “It truly is a privilege to do what I do, to be a volunteer,” Zargarpur said. “It’s an honor to accept this award, not just as one volunteer, but tens if not hundreds of volunteers who have been working alongside me day and night.” The Prince William County Police Department received an award for its “Reimagining Policing: Courageous Conversations Initiative.” The department was one of five in the state called to work on the initiative with the Virginia Department of Criminal Police Chief Justice Services. Peter Newsham The goals included examining implicit bias, use of force, recruitment, selection, and officer retention. “The impetus for the Courageous Conversations Initiative was on the heels of the murder of George Floyd, and we all know what an impact that had on our communities,” said Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham. “What we did in these con-

versations was that we had on a regular basis – with the police department, Department of Criminal Justice Services, the University of Virginia and of course leadership from our community – we were able to come up with ideas … to make us a better police department.” The Phi Lambda, Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. was recognized for sponsoring a wide range of humanitarian and educational activities including hosting Thanksgiving turkey giveaways, town cleanups, and Jacque Nixon distributing holiday donations. “One of our mandates is service and we do that … through social action, mentoring, health initiatives, talent hunts, scholarships, and a college endowment for historically Black colleges and universities,” said Jacque Nixon, representing the fraternity. “And we take that mandate very seriously. As a chapter, we will continue to strive to impact the lives of individuals and families throughout Prince William County.” Carried to Full Term was recognized for providing long-term housing for pregnant and homeless women and equipping them with tools, support and resources to become independent and self-suff icient in the face of abuse, relocaFrances Robin tion, divorce, abandonment or aging out of the foster care system. “The work is big; it’s deep; it’s dirty; and it’s very fulfilling,” said Frances Robin, the director and founder of the nonprofit. “Our tiny staff makes it look easy, but we are working so tirelessly to expand and extend services to the greater community. At Carried to Full Term, our goal is to take the burden off the woman and invest in her. We recognize when housing needs are not met, families cannot do the next thing. Mothers cannot do the next thing.” Frank Washington and Coalition to Save Historic Thoroughfare was recognized for its work to protect several historic cemeteries in Thoroughfare, a community near Haymarket, that was once a vibrant Native- and African American community. Washington educated and mobilized the community and garnered bipartisan support from county leaders to protect the cemeteries against the threat of development. “Whether lying in their graves or walking upon this earth, each life still matters,” Washington said.

After a 14-0 regular season, the high-flying Osbourn Park girls basketball team is favored to win the Cedar Run District tournament. The semifinals are Feb. 14 and championship Feb. 16. Regionals begin Feb. 18.

OP on TOP again Revamped, new-look Yellow Jackets girls win fifth straight district title, are 19-1 By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

The players change, but the results stay the same for the prestigious Osbourn Park girls basketball program. Another year, another regular season championship. Even with a wave of new starters, OP won its fifth consecutive Cedar Run District regular-season title on Feb. 3. They’re heading into the postseason at 19-1 with a squeaky clean 14-0 district mark. After making it to the Class 6 championship game last season – a 54-48 loss to James Madison (Vienna) – head coach Chrissy Kelly figured to be in line for a major retooling. She said OP lost “99% of the scoring, defense, and experience.” Lo and behold, the Yellow Jackets won their fifth straight district title, a difficult feat given the inherent turnover in high school sports. “On the outside people think teams just show up and success follows. I think we have created a culture of working hard and if you don’t, you will get left behind,” said Kelly, who’s in her fifth season guiding the Osbourn Park program after a successful run at Forest Park. “We don’t have the most talented team in the area, but we have one of the hardest working teams.” It’s working. Only twice has Osbourn Park won by less than 10 points. They’re winning by an average margin of 25.3 points..

The Osbourn Park Nine

The Yellow Jackets carry just nine players, most who have stepped into increased roles this season. “We are only a team of nine, but nine who put in work every day,” said Kelly. She jokes, “Sometimes I walk

Fifth-year coach Chrissy Kelly attributes OP’s success to dedicated players and coaches. into practice and wonder where everyone is. They’re all there.” Senior point guard Hailey Kellogg is the sole returning starter, but has upped her scoring load from last year’s two points per game. Thanks to increased minutes, Alana Powell and Kori Cole frequently put in double-figure point totals. Danielle Darfour and Angelina Yann got limited minutes last year, but now anchor OP’s defense, along with Kacey Kelly. Alex Brown and Julia Matthews went from not being in the program to providing “strong rebounding and physical toughness inside,” the coach said. They flank inside presence Chloe Wolf-Pullen, who also was primarily a reserve last year. “This group of girls created their own identity and made the decision not to make any excuses but rely on commitment and hard work,” Kelly said. “Success is a byproduct of that.”

Help from her friends

Kelly has assembled a coaching staff of Prince William locals who

Sophomore Angelina Yann is one of just nine varsity players on Osbourn Park’s roster. “Sometimes I walk into practice and wonder where everyone is,” quips coach Chrissy Kelly.

A look at Osbourn Park girls basketball in recent years: 2021-22: 19-1 overall, 14-0 district 2020-21: 15-3, 7-1, Class 6 state runners-up 2019-20: 20-8, 7-0, made state quarterfinals 2018-19: 18-6, 9-2, made region quarterfinals 2017–18: 17-8, 8-0, made region semifinals

know how to win and make the next level. “Ron Marzett, Danni Jackson, Jasmine Byrd, and Yawnie Kizer have been with me from the very beginning of this journey at OP,” she said. “They are committed, demanding, loving, phenomenal examples of human beings. Without them, OP is a different program.” Kizer played at Potomac, Jackson was part of a state title at Forest Park, and Byrd was an all-state performer who’s now in Hylton’s athletic hall of fame. All played collegiately, and Byrd played professionally overseas. “Prince William is a growing county, but it still has some smalltown vibes to it,” Kelly said. “Having

Meeting a new challenge

It may be the program’s fifth straight year entering the playoffs as district regular-season champions, but it’s all new to this year’s team. Kelly said the current edition of Osbourn Park girls’ basketball is “still a work in progress.” “I have an inexperienced group and looking ahead will only interfere with focus,” said the veteran coach, who won state crowns leading Forest Park in 2004 and 2006. “Like any team we have goals, but goals can’t be accomplished without focusing on the now.”

Hugh William Green Hugh William Green, 70, best known to family and childhood friends as Hugh Bill, passed away peacefully in his home on Sunday, January 30, 2022. He was born in Warrenton on September 11, 1951, the son of the late C. D. Green, Jr. and Eunice Riley Green. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Susie Green and his brother-in-law Charlie Dishner. Hugh graduated from Fauquier High in 1969 and continued on to Emory & Henry College. He went on to own his own construction company, H. W. Green, Inc. Hugh never met a stranger. Hugh and Susie were avid beach goers spending much time at Rehoboth Beach and the Outer Banks where many lifelong friendships were made. He and his wife were also huge Redskin fans making trips to the Redskin stadium to support their team. Hugh is survived by his brother, Clifford D. Green, his wife Soraya; sister Nancy Dishner; nephew Brian Dishner; niece Riley Dishner-Brown, and her husband Nathan. Hugh’s family would like to extend a very special thank you for the loving care given him by Jeannie Jenkins of Amissville and Jenny Grimm of Orange. Due to COVID concerns, a graveside service will be held at the Amissville United Methodist Church Cemetery on Friday, February 18th at 3:00pm. The family asks that any memorial donations honoring Hugh be made to the charity of your choice. Online condolences may be expressed at www. moserfuneralhome.com.

Anthony Charles Diaz Anthony Charles Diaz, 70 of Warrenton, VA, passed away the morning of January 27, 2022, after a battle with COVID-19. He is survived by his daughter, Jessica; mother, Sally; sister, Mary Lou; brother, Joseph; and nieces Jennica and Regina. Anthony, or Tony as he was known by friends and family, was born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA and worked as a juvenile probation officer with the County of Santa Barbara until an injury on the job ended his career. He then moved to a farm in Warrenton with his daughter and then-wife. In Warrenton, he worked part-time as a substitute teacher at Fauquier County Public Schools for many years. Tony loved animals, especially horses, and tending to his garden. However, his greatest pleasure was being the best father he could to his daughter, Jessica. He and Jessica were very close and he truly enjoyed supporting her in all that she did. There was nothing he wouldn’t do to help her succeed. A fighter like no other, Tony was diagnosed with advance stage colon cancer about ten years ago. He fought through surgeries and chemotherapy treatment for several years before eventually prevailing. Throughout his cancer battle, Tony never lost the happy, caring character everyone knew. Tony will be laid to rest in his hometown of Santa Barbara. A celebration of his life will be planned at a later time.
