Reimagining Potomac Mills

The Potomac Mills mall, a centerpiece of Prince William County since the mid-1980s, has been identified as an “activity center” in the county’s draft comprehensive plan. If approved, the plan would pave the way for a town center-type development with high-density housing adjacent to the mall.

County’s draft comprehensive plan envisions big things for Prince William’s busiest mall By Daniel Berti

Could Potomac Mills mall be redeveloped into a town center with high-density housing and buildings up to 12 stories tall? Prince William County officials think it’s a possibility and are taking the first steps toward making it a reality as they move forward the county’s first comprehensive plan update in a decade. Earlier this month, county planners released a first draft of their vision to replan 770 acres of mostly commercial land between Interstate 95, Prince William Parkway, Smoketown Road and Dale Boulevard – including the entirety of Potomac Mills Mall – as an “activity center.” The county is recommending allowing high-density residential and commercial development to replace or add to existing development throughout the area. They say the new designations, which would

Prince William County is the only Northern Virginia judicial circuit currently without a drug court – a special docket that diverts defendants with substance abuse problems into treatment programs instead of sending them to jail. But that may change in the coming months, according to county officials. After launching a pilot drug court program last year, Prince William County officials want to See COURT, page 3

allow some of the highest residential densities in the county, could create enough housing to support new transit options such as bus rapid transit or a future Metro rail station. “We’re looking at how we can redevelop that entire area to be more like a town center and more like your more modern malls where people live a few hundred feet away from it in dense, walkable neighborhoods,” Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, said in a recent interview. “Potomac Mills is ripe for that sort of reimagining.” At present, the 770-acre area included in the proposed Potomac Mills activity center is planned as a “regional commercial center,” “regional employment center” and for “general commercial.” Currently, there are no homes within the boundaries of the proposed activity center.

Prince William County students are no longer required to wear masks at school in accordance with a new Virginia law making face-coverings optional in the state’s public schools. In a letter to employees and families late Friday Friday, Feb. 18, Superintendent LaTanya McDade said the school division’s mask mandate would no longer be in effect for students as of Tuesday, Feb. 22. Masks are still required, however, for employees, in accordance with the Virginia Administrative Code, as well as volunteers, who will follow employee masking requirements, McDade wrote.

Parents amend federal lawsuit to challenge mask-optional law By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

Manassas parent Tasha Nelson and 11 other Virginia parents of students with disabilities that put them at a high risk for complications due to COVID-19 have amended their federal lawsuit to challenge a new state law making face-coverings optional in public schools. The law, known as Senate Bill 739, was approved by the Virginia General Assembly last week and signed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) on Wednesday, Feb 16. The 12 parents, who are being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia as well other high-profile attorneys, moved swiftly on Friday, Feb. 18 to amend their earlier complaint to add a legal challenge to SB739 as well as Youngkin’s earlier Executive Order 2, which also sought to make masks optional in public schools. The change is significant “because, in the absence of an amendment, we could succeed in enjoining enforcement of the executive order [but] enforcement of SB739 would still result in schools being prevented from imposing mask requirements,” said Eve Hill, one of plaintiffs’ attorneys. Hill is a partner at Brown Goldstein & Levy and is one of the nation’s leading disability rights attorneys. Nelson said her family immediately suffered the consequences of the new law. Nelson’s 10-year-old son Jack has cystic fibrosis, which puts him at a greater risk of getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. “On Wednesday, [Feb. 16], we received a call to let us know that the school campus would be mask-optional the following day, and Jack has not been able to attend school since,” Nelson said. MASKS, page 1 Students are also required to wear masks on school buses in accordance with federal law. Federal law also requires that students in Head Start preschool classes continue to mask, McDade’s letter said. “Please respect our bus drivers by asking your student to cooperate with this federal requirement,” McDade wrote. McDade’s letter referenced the continued division in the community about masking and acknowledged that people hold different beliefs and opinions about masks. “It is undoubtedly a challenging time for all of us, but ultimately, we all want to do the same thing -what’s best for children,” she wrote. “We recognize that these changes are welcomed by some and cause uncertainty for others.”

Quarantine protocols

McDade’s letter said the school division would scale back its contact tracing and quarantining protocols. Schools will no longer contact trace or require students and staff to quarantine unless COVID-19 is impacting 10% or more of the students and staff in an individual school building. If a school reaches or exceeds that 10% threshold, the school division “will implement contact tracing and quarantine if recommended by local health officials,” McDade wrote. Parents will still be notified when someone in their child’s school tests positive for COVID-19, however,

“Jack is devastated at being excluded from school and isolated from his peers. He cries after we drop off his siblings at school each day. Being forced to stay home because of his disease is causing him to feel sadness, anxiety and even shame.” Nelson said she contacted Jack’s school, Jennie Dean Elementary, to request a modification under the Americans with Disabilities Act to allow Jack to safely attend school in person but said school officials have yet to provide a plan for Jack’s return to his classroom. In the meantime, Jack has been provided with his schoolwork for the next week to complete at home, Nelson said. Officials with Prince William County, Manassas City and Manassas Park City public schools did not immediately respond to emails Tuesday asking how the school divisions are accommodating students with disabilities as a result of the new law. The petitioning parents’ lawsuit now asserts that both Youngkin’s Executive Order 2 and SB739 violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act – both of which say public schools cannot exclude students with disabilities or deny them equal access to their education. The laws also require public schools to provide reasonable modifications to allow students with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from their public education. Their court challenge asks the federal court to prohibit the Commonwealth of Virginia from enforcing both Executive Order 2 and SB739 and instead allow Virginia school divisions to keep masking requirements in effect when needed to make it safe for children at high risk for COVID-19 to attend school safely. An initial hearing is scheduled in federal court

and those who test positive will be required to isolate for 10 days according to school division protocol, which is not changing, McDade said. The school division will also continue to implement a “layered mitigation strategy” against COVID-19, which includes daily health monitoring, reporting of cases to the Prince William Health District, isolation for those who test positive or show symptoms and notification of families and staff about positive cases, McDade said. Parents are asked to continue to monitor their children for any signs of illness and keep children home when they are sick. Free COVID-19 take-home tests are available at school for students, the superintendent wrote. The change in policy is required by a new state law, known as Senate Bill 739, that was passed by the Virginia General Assembly earlier this week and signed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) on Wednesday, Feb 16.

Health district: CDC still recommends masks

Prince William Health District Director Dr. Alison Ansher said Friday that she and her staff have been working with the City of Manassas and City of Manassas Park school divisions on strategies to keep students and staff safe under the new mask-optional law and have offered their assistance to Prince William County Schools. Ansher said the health district is stressing the importance of strength-

in Charlottesville on Monday, Feb. 28. Both the executive order and the new state law “should be addressed at one hearing, since they involve the same issues,” Hill said. Hill explained that the lawsuit is not asking for every public school in Virginia to enforce universal masking but rather argues that school districts have an obligation to require universal masking under the ADA when they have students with disabilities who require universal masking to stay in the classroom.

ening other mitigation layers – including distancing, improving ventilation, cleaning high touch areas, encouraging vaccination, staying home when sick and testing close contacts -- even those without symptoms. “The conversations centered around a layered mitigation approach and finding ways to strengthen other layers when one is reduced, as well as a strong outbreak and case surveillance and response process,” Ansher said in an email. The Prince William Health District will continue to support the school district’s COVID-19 response “with a focus in identifying and responding to outbreaks,” Ansher wrote. When asked if the health district is continuing to recommend that people

wear face masks at schools – despite the new law – Ansher repeated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which urge that anyone over age 2 wear a mask in indoor public areas, including schools, in areas with high or substantial community spread of COVID-19. “While parents and families can choose for their child to not wear a mask at school in accordance with school and legal policies, VDH recommends all persons age 2 and older, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks indoors in public settings when community level of transmission is substantial or high,” Ansher said.

Va. House panel kills further study to bring Metro to Prince William A Virginia House of Delegates subcommittee unanimously killed a resolution that would have dedicated $2.25 million in state funding to develop a regional transit plan to bring Metro to Prince William County, likely delaying the effort for at least another year. The House Rules’ “studies” subcommittee voted 5-0 to table the resolution on Monday, Feb. 7, effectively killing it. The resolution was carried by Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, who represents the Woodbridge area. “Prince William County is the second largest county in the commonwealth with well over 470,000 residents. Transportation has always been a major factor for us, and we believe that this study would help us in our efforts to extend Metro to Prince William County,” Torian told

Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, of Woodbridge subcommittee members. Del. Bobby Orrock, R-54th, of Spotsylvania County, who chairs the subcommittee, asked Torian if he would instead consider writing a letter to the state House Appropriations Committee instead to “potentially affect the same goal.” Torian replied that several letters

County budget eyes long-awaited drug court COURT, from page 1 make the program a permanent fixture. The county court is planning to submit an application to the Supreme Court of Virginia in April seeking its approval. If all goes according to plan, “it could be up and running by June 1st,” Prince William County Chief Public Defender Tracey Lenox told Prince William Times. Lenox said the push to create a local drug treatment court is being driven by local judges, the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office, the newly created public defender’s office and county supervisors’ “willingness to dig in on mental health and substance abuse issues.” “This is an evidence-based approach to dealing with a crisis that in the past has been dealt with by a carceral approach, by filling the jail with people who are addicts. And this is saying, ‘There’s a healthier way to do this,’” Lenox said. “A drug court model is saying, ‘What can we do to improve the health outcomes for these folks? What can we do to make them more productive citizens?’” Prince William Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth told Prince William Times she is “very excited” about the prospect of bringing a drug court to Prince William County. She added that she was “baffled” as to why the county did not have one “years ago.” “A drug court will … [provide] better oversight and access to treatment. Families in our community who have a loved one fighting addiction will now have an ally with the criminal justice system to help them in recovery, and we as prosecutors can focus on the crimes that cause the most harm to our society,” Ashworth said. To move forward, however, the proposal must first be approved by

the Supreme Court of Virginia’s Drug Court Treatment Advisory Committee, which will likely consider the county’s application at its upcoming May 4 meeting. Sixty-one Virginia jurisdictions already have drug treatment courts, including Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington counties and the City of Alexandria. Drug treatment courts provide intensive drug treatment and strict supervision of people with substance abuse disorders in drug-related cases for a minimum of one year. Participants are required to make frequent court appearances and submit to random drug testing, but successful completion of the treatment program results in dismissal of the charges, reduced sentences and lesser penalties. County supervisors hope to give the drug treatment court an immediate boost should it be approved by the Supreme Court of Virginia by hiring a drug court coordinator. Prince William County Executive Elijah Johnson included $100,000 to hire a coordinator in the county’s proposed fiscal year 2023 budget, which would take effect on July 1. The budget will be adopted by the board in late April, but it remains unclear what could change between now and then. Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, said told Prince William Times that he supports keeping money in the budget to fund a drug court coordinator. He said hiring the position would aid in the effort to make the drug treatment court a permanent fixture in the county. “The current drug court pilot program administered in our judicial center has proven effective in altering the trajectory of those suffering from substance abuse toward rehabilitation rather than recidivism,” Boddye said.

had been sent already. “We have been fighting this battle for a long time. We’ve probably sent several letters in regard to the matter. And I just think that if we put some General Assembly energy behind this effort, it may move the needle farther,” Torian said. The resolution, known as House Resolution 76, would require the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation to coordinate with local elected officials and transportation commissions in Northern Virginia “to reach a regional consensus and develop a long-term regional plan for future extensions” of Metro in Prince William County. Under the resolution, DRPT would have been required to submit an executive summary and report of its findings and recommendations to the governor and General Assembly by the end of 2022. The study would have been funded by a $2.25 million budget amendment, also carried by Torian. An aide to Torian said Thursday that the House Appropriations Committee could revive the resolution by approving the budget amendment. But he added that he is “not expecting” that to happen. Prince William County Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, was the only member of the public to speak in support of the plan at the 8 a.m. meeting. Angry said Prince William County, with near-

ly 500,000 residents, has “growing transportation needs.” “I know Metro would really assist us in our transportation needs, and I just want to strongly support this bill,” Angry said. The General Assembly previously funded a transportation feasibility study in 2020 to examine options for improved transit to Prince William County. DPRT published its “Springfield to Quantico Enhanced Public Transportation Feasibility Study” in November 2021. The agency’s final report concluded that options to extend the Metro Blue Line or Metro Yellow Line to Potomac Town Center “are feasible,” but declined to make a recommendation until “further detailing of the design and operating characteristics” are completed. Extending Metro service to Prince William County would entail “unique legal and governance ramifications,” including expanding the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Zone to include the county and making financial commitments to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, the study said. DPRT estimated extending Metro rail to Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center could cost anywhere between $13.6 and $20.8 billion. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Reimagining Potomac Mills MALL, from page 1

If approved, the new activity center designation would allow for new residential development of up to 50 dwelling units per acre in buildings up to 12 stories high in the vicinity of Potomac Mills with lighter densities and building heights in the surrounding areas. There are no estimates yet for how many new homes could be built in the area. But a redevelopment of the 140-acre Potomac Mills Mall site alone could yield up to 7,000 new dwellings based on the current specifications outlined in county planning documents. A presentation outlining the redevelopment plan for the Potomac Mills area has been posted on the county’s website. In it, county planners recommend that the Prince William Board of County Supervisors update the county’s comprehensive plan to “transition Potomac Mills Mall and strip commercial sites to cohesive compact, walkable, mixed-use and transit-oriented development” and “establish a distinct brand and identity for Potomac Mills Mall as an urban center for Prince William County” with thematic streetscape treatments, furnishings and public art. Additionally, the redevelopment plan would “encourage residential infill at existing shopping center sites to diversify land uses and to provide housing near shopping, employment, cultural [and] natural resources and transit service,” the plan states. “The draft plan aims to provide more flexibility for future redevelopment opportunities that will provide exciting dynamic places,” Prince William County Deputy Executive and acting-Planning Director Rebecca Horner told Prince William Times. “I hope that this provides flexibility in the future for creating awesome places.” If approved, the comprehensive plan update would pave the way for such new development but doesn’t guarantee it will happen. Whether such changes are realized is a matter of whether developers believe there is a demand for new high-density housing adjacent to the mall. Any plan for new housing or retail would have to be proposed through a more

detailed rezoning application that would be reviewed and approved by the county supervisors. Boddye and Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, both represent the area that could become the “Potomac Mills Activity Center.” Asked why the county is considering redeveloping the mall into a mixed-use town center, both Boddye and Angry told Prince William Times that Potomac Mills Mall, built in 1985, is no longer performing as it did decades ago. “It’s not thriving like it once was. And that’s just a real statement. Anybody can see that. I think it’s time for a real conversation about the possibilities of what that area could be,” Angry said. Boddye added that, “Especially in the age of COVID and online shopping, people aren’t driving nearly as far to go to brick-and-mortar shopping centers or a mall.” Boddye said the county’s planning department and economic development department have already begun “initial talks” with Simon Properties, the owner of Potomac Mills Mall, about its vision for redevelopment. But right now, “There isn’t a definitive plan on what would happen to the mall structure itself,” he said. “We don’t know yet what that looks like – whether that’s building on top of, or completely adjacent to, the mall, or redoing it from scratch,” Boddye said. Simon Properties did not respond to requests for comment. Boddye and Angry both said revamping the Potomac Mills area could provide the residential density needed to bring Metrorail to Prince William County.

A rendering of the type of development Prince William County planners are proposing for the Potomac Mills area. “That’s definitely something that we’re thinking about. And it’s definitely something my office has been advocating for. This reimagining of Potomac Mills directly plays into getting the housing density we would need to make Potomac Mills an ideal place for a Metro stop,” Boddye said. When the Metro would be extended into Prince William County, however, is still unknown. The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation released its “Springfield to Quantico Enhanced Public Transportation Feasibility Study” in November 2021, which examined options for improved transit to Prince William County. The agency’s final report concluded that options to extend the Metro Blue Line or Metro Yellow Line to three stops in Prince William County – including one at Potomac Mills Mall – “is feasible.” DPRT estimated extending Metro rail from Fairfax County to Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center could cost anywhere

between $13.6 and $20.8 billion. “Metro really would make sense if all of that area was populated with modern style housing and retail,” Angry said. The county’s comprehensive plan acts as a blueprint for future development in the county. The Potomac Mills “activity center” is one of 10 such centers across the county being considered for higher density development than is currently allowed. The proposed comprehensive update is expected to reach Prince William County’s planning commission and board of county supervisors for a vote this summer. Until then, many changes could be made to the proposed plan, county officials say.

The Manassas battlefield is worth protecting

Teddy Roosevelt, a great conservationist, once said: “The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.” Somewhere along the line, this message seems to have been lost. Here in Prince William County, the Manassas National Battlefield Park has attracted everyone from school children to retirees, each learning from a glimpse of the past. The openness of the park, looking much like it did over a century and a half ago, gives the imagination full rein to re-create the bloody battles that took place. The lessons learned here, both militarily and politically, would shape the future of the United States. This historic landscape is now in imminent danger of being permanently altered. Where in the recent past we have been concerned about the “woke” movement erasing history, we are now facing an assault by parties who wish to bring blight to this historic landscape. This

organizations have joined me. The Civil War Preservation Trust has spoken out strongly against this proposed development. Ken Burns, the esteemed American filmmaker, famous for his documentaries depicting historical events, has opined on the devastating effect massive data centers would have on the historical integrity of the Manassas National Battlefield Park. I am in good company as I stand with them. Our history, the good, the bad, and the ugly, must be protected, just as Teddy Roosevelt implied. Sites like the Manassas Battlefield allow us to step back in history and view it from the perspective of the men and women who witnessed it. Understanding this context is important so that we acknowledge the moral depravity of the past to avoid repeating it. Looking to the future, my hope is to expand the Manassas National Battlefield Park. The area has

more stories to tell. I have called on Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton and other federal legislators to push for this outcome, but progress has been slow. I have been proud to support preservation of the Manassas battlefield and Northern Virginia’s historic monuments, and I will continue to seek protection of the stories of those who came before us. How can you help? Call Congresswoman Wexton, Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine and your representatives on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. Urge them to preserve history, and the lessons learned from it before these historic sites are altered forever.

THE BACKSTORY

How fights over the courthouse were settled in court It took a judge to decide the county’s courthouse, jail would remain in Manassas

Prince William County is planning a major $22.5 million expansion and renovation of the regional judicial center in Manassas to meet current and long-term needs. A master plan of the courthouse campus is expected in the spring and will include details such as new annex buildings and the repurposing of the “old Bennett School,” which has been shuttered for years. These projects spark remembrances of a time when Manassas and Prince William County were not seeing eye-to-eye on the judicial center and whether it should remain in Manassas after Manassas became an independent city in 1975. The move from the “Town of Manassas” to the “City of Manassas” deprived the county of significant tax revenue generated by what was then IBM, which had located in Manassas in 1970. The move to city status infuriated county leaders -- to the point that a relocation of the courthouse from Manassas to a site at Independent Hill was proposed. A countywide voter referendum on moving the courthouse was held in March 1978, fewer than three years after Manassas achieved city-status. The March vote failed 8,613 to 6,545 -- a margin of 57% to 43%. At the time of the referendum, two members of the three-member

ROGER SNYDER

county board of elections were none other than Rick Pfitzner and Annie Snyder. Rick was subsequently elected the Coles District supervisor in 1979 and served two terms before retiring in 1987. Annie continued her citizen activist role as protector of the Manassas National Battlefield Park until her death in 2002 at the age of 80. After the 1978 courthouse referendum was defeated, the aging and significantly overcrowded county jail and the undersized, crumbling courthouse campus remained a growing problem. Lawsuits, the threats of lawsuits and warnings from local judges encouraged county leaders to build a new jail, also known as an “adult detention center,” and a new county courthouse just down the street from the existing inadequate facilities in Manassas. A new jail opened in April 1982, and a new courthouse adjacent to the ADC, a year later. Subsequent expansions of both the courthouse and the ADC have been necessary to keep pace with the local popuSee COURTHOUSE, page 7

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | February 24, 2022

COURTHOUSE, from page 6 lation – including that of the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park – areas that have grown from approximately 156,000 in 1980 to an estimated 542,000 today. The ADC expansions have been controversial with the jail’s Manassas neighbors, however, who sometimes rose in strident opposition. The first expansion was a “temporary” jail built just west of the original ADC. Reluctantly, Manassas gave its approval, vowing it would be the first and last expansion within the city limits. Though “temporary,” this ADC annex had to be brick-clad and remains part of the courthouse campus today, some three decades later. The next expansion need came soon, around 1990, and opposition from the city was immediate. Things took a surprising turn, however, when former County Attorney Terry Emerson brought forth the Manassas/ PWC inter-jurisdictional agreement written and signed in 1975. It laid out the parameters for Manassas becoming an independent city. The agreement included the infamous “paragraph D,” which required the City of Manassas to surrender its jurisdiction over the approximately 40 acres comprising the county complex, which is mostly owned and occupied by Prince William County. This area was referred to as “the hole in the donut” -- 38.5 acres carved out of the middle of a city of 10 square miles in a fashion similar to what

Fairfax City had agreed to with Fairfax County in 1967. This hole in the donut meant that Prince William County retained jurisdiction over the courthouse campus, just as Fairfax County owns the Fairfax courthouse campus within the City of Fairfax. In 1990, 15 years after the interjurisdictional agreement was executed, Manassas had not yet formally ceded jurisdiction. In fact, Manassas went to court and spent in excess of $300,000 in outside legal fees to fight paragraph D, which the city itself had written in 1975. It was a legal battle the city had no chance of winning. In June 1995, the Virginia Supreme Court finally ruled in Prince William County’s favor. Manassas was ordered to cede the county complex acreage to the county as it had initially agreed to do some 20 years earlier. And although the multi-jurisdictional courthouse and the ADC remain within “the hole in the donut,” the county had already moved its government complex to a site near the intersection of Hoadly and Davis Ford roads in Woodbridge in 1984. That location decision is story worthy for another time. Roger Snyder is a longtime Prince William County resident who served as Prince William County’s planning director from 1980-87 and community development director for the City of Manassas from 1992 to 2002. He also spent the last 20 years photographing the county from the sky, providing aerial images for both developers and local government officials. He can be reached at rwsmanassas@comcast.net.

Data centers were not in Pageland residents’ plan What most environmental enthusiasts fail to recognize are the facilities needed for our future. We cannot continue to protect our rural areas and pristine views in the face of an ever-growing population. We also need to understand that a majority of the population will be concentrated in the constantly expanding penumbra around our major cities. One should not be surprised that Prince William and Fauquier counties, to name just two in the D.C. metropolitan area, will have to compromise far more than less populated counties, such as Blaine, Nebraska, or Esmeralda, Nevada. Growing even faster than our population is our reliance on computers and the need for storage facilities for all the data generated. Perhaps some might be a bit envious that others will become wealthy by selling their land to the data center developers. I can

assure you that most of the people in the area didn’t purchase their properties with that as a goal. That’s a matter of luck, good for some, not so good for others. I, for one, moved to Prince William County two years ago intending to spend the rest of my life here. Yet, I do not wish to live surrounded by data centers. Nor am I looking to become “filthy rich.” I do, however, want significantly more for my property than I paid for it, enough to buy a new home and to hire people to do all the packing and moving, as well as unpacking and setting up the new home, because at my age that kind of activity is quite painful. Instead of protecting our views and our spaces, environmentalists need to plan how to best manage our land for future growth. JACK SEELEY Catharpin

Save the rural crescent from irreversible harm Please stop the greed and save our rural crescent before the damage will be irreversible. Our environment is so very important for us, and let’s not forget our future generations.

Manassas Ballet Theatre presents ‘Gaite Parisienne & More’ Staff Reports The Manassas Ballet returns to the stage at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in March with “Gaite Parisienne & More,” a two-act performance that features original choreography as well as “Gaite Parisienne,” a light-hearted ballet set in a Paris nightclub. Choreography by Manassas Ballet Theatre company members Debora Greer and Ahmed Nabil is featured in act one of the show, while the Gaite Parisienne is featured in act two. Dances performed in act one include “A Letter to Maria,” choreographed by Greer. The dance was inspired by the book, “The Perfume Garden,” by Kate Lord Brown, and explores the idea of how through dance we can find love, resilience, and healing, according to a Manassas Ballet Theatre press release. Nabil’s “The Naked Truth” is also featured in act one. The dance por-

Act two presents the lighthearted “Gaite Parisienne,” which was originally performed by the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo. The show entered the Manassas Ballet Theatre’s repertoire 20 years ago – in 2002 – with Manassas Ballet Theatre Artistic

Director Amy Grant Wolfe dancing the lead role. “Exuberance is what fuels Vadim Slatvitskiy in his staging of Gaite Parisienne,” the release said. “It is a lighthearted ballet portraying the romantic antics between numerous eccentric patrons at a Paris night club that culminates with a wonderful and flirtatious cancan.” The show will be performed at 7:30

p.m. on Friday, March 11 and Saturday, March 12. On Sunday, March 13, there will be a 3 p.m. matinee. Tickets start at $25. For more information about the performance and show times, visit www.manassasballet.org or call 703-791-0627. Manassas Ballet Theatre is a 501c(3) nonprofit corporation founded in 1983. The mission of Manassas Ballet Theatre is to improve the quality of life in Northern Virginia by providing accessible and affordable professional ballet performances, educational outreach to the community and the highest level of training to the serious student.

Gardening is good for the mind and the body Good nutrition is such an important part of wellness; it’s one of many reasons to consider gardening instead of relying on store-bought food. Gardening also provides enough physical activity to increase blood flow, strengthen muscles and keep your mind engaged. Routine activity, like gardening every day, also reduces our risk of stroke, while opening the door to a longer, healthier life.

Better nutrition

Gardening is, of course, a cinch in suburban or rural communities. But even in town, box gardens offer an everyday alternative to processed, packaged and fast food, which can be loaded with unhealthy additives and health-impacting negatives like cholesterol and salt. Consuming fresh, organic produce in the form of healthful vegetables and fruits addresses a myriad of endemic health issues for seniors, and you’ll be saving money while picking your own lettuce and asparagus. See GARDENING, page 11

The community garden with the focus on community By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Every gardener reaps a different harvest from the Remington Community Garden. Some plant tomatoes; some grow Chinese cabbages; and some benefit most from the peace of mind that comes from – literally – getting their hands dirty. John Waldeck, who with his wife Mary Beth, has had a hand in developing the Remington Community Garden, the Little Free Pantry and the Little Free Veggie Wagon, as well as the twice-monthly farmers markets in town, makes it seem like the project came together on its own. “Everyone helps; people donate; it just works,” he said. But the 12-member board of directors for the garden is a handson group, and it has taken several years to get some of the amenities in place. There is a shed with fertilizer (every gardener gets a key), three spigots for irrigation and even a portable restroom. Remington United Methodist Church is behind the effort – the garden and pavilion are

on church property -- and the PATH Foundation donated funding for the covered pavilion. When gardeners suggested they would like a water source, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church – next door to the garden -- allowed the group to tap into their water system. “We have yet to have any major issues anywhere,” said Waldeck. “People can come anytime they need to work on their plot. No fences; no problems.” The garden has 35 15-foot by 15-foot plots available; seven of those plots are dedicated to growing produce for the community. Gardeners who have their own plots donate some of their time and expertise to make sure the

community plot is productive. About 50% of those who have plots are really good gardeners, said Waldeck, and another third have “some” experience. The newbees, he said, get lots of advice from the more experienced gardeners. Several of the Remington folks are master gardeners and are happy to share their secrets. John Wladeck said, “Everybody loves the garden. We need more people to know about it, and we need more volunteers, to provide either sweat or money. The focus of the garden has always been the community. The fact that there are vegetables is just a bonus.”

Regular gardening provides a wealth of benefits.

Gardening is good for the mind and the body GARDENING, from page 10

Community

Condo or apartment living can be ideal for busy seniors, but gardening becomes more constrained. That’s where local senior centers, community allotments and gardening clubs come in. Many are funding programs meant to spark interest in gardening, building stand-alone projects in the community and providing educational classes on nutrition and cooking to help people turn their new hobby into finished meals.

Take it easy

Gardening doesn’t have to be hard. Try raised beds, or large planters and pots, since they can be tended without having to bend over. There are also a variety of tools that make the process easier for seniors: Purchase a garden cart to make hauling

supplies, fertilizer and tools easier. There are hand-held blades that are specially hooked for weeding. Drip irrigation systems and soaker hoses eliminate the need for dragging a garden hose around.

Perfect exercise

You’ll often see seniors walking through the local mall or neighborhood in a bid to stay active. Gardening provides similar benefits, and there’s a delicious payoff at the end. You’ll have to water, rake, pull weeds and pick fresh produce, just the kind of light exercises that help keep us fit without wearing us down. And you’ll have to maintain a regular exercise schedule, because the plants require everyday attention. Afterward, you can gather around a table stuffed with organic foods to unwind and enjoy.

Age-related hearing loss is treatable The loss of your hearing usually starts as a nuisance but can develop into something far more debilitating. Many adults who are 65 and older suffer from this condition, and it often happens so slowly that you might not initially be aware of the changes. Many seniors feel isolated and “left out” when they can’t hear conversation, and communication problems it causes can exacerbate feelings of loneliness or depression. Thankfully, there is help available to improve, and, in some cases, restore hearing.

Types of hearing loss

Seniors can lose their hearing for a variety of reasons. For instance, a condition called presbycusis impacts both ears, coming on gradually as we age. It has been linked to genetics by researchers. Tinnitus, another form of hearing loss, can be even more difficult to live with; its origins are more mysterious, too. The condition causes a roaring or ringing in the ears, making it difficult to hear other sounds. Concentration and sleeping can be impacted. The causes of tinnitus aren’t entirely known, though working in very loud environments, damage to the ears, high blood pressure and allergies are believed to be predictive.

Getting help

Treatment options include hearing aids, prescription medicine and even surgery, depending on the particular grade of loss. If you’re having trouble hearing loved ones on the phone or have to keep your television volume at unusually high levels, it might be time to explore your options with a physician. They may recommend aids that fit comfortably

Seniors who slowly lose their hearing can find themselves feeling gradually more isolated. into your ears, or assistive devices like telephone amplification systems. Medical procedures like the cochlear implant, which is surgically embedded, are recommended for severe hearing loss.

Expert advice

Embarrassment or unfamiliarity with the technology are often barriers to returning to normal life with hearing loss. Don’t let this very treatable condition become a hindrance to enjoying time

with friends and family. If your general practitioner can’t help, they might refer you to an otolaryngologist, who are doctors who specialize in problems with the ear, nose and throat. They may also direct you toward an audiologist who’s trained to measure hearing and provide services to help. Hearing loss often gets worse with time, so don’t put it off. A world of sound and experience awaits.

Battlefield girls, Patriot boys win Class 6 state swim titles By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

For the next year, the defending Class 6 state swim champs hail from western Prince William. The Patriot Pioneers and the Battlefield Bobcats brought home team titles Feb. 18 from the Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center in Stafford. The Patriot boys won by a comfortable 44.5-point margin over runner-up Thomas Jefferson. The Battlefield girls triumphed in dramatic fashion in the meet’s final individual event to top Yorktown 233-231 for the closest margin in event history. Bobcat star Camille Spink won two sprint races and was part of a winning relay.

Hannam delivers in clutch

Seeded eighth in the girls 100-yard breaststroke, Bobcat junior Emma Hannam swam a personal best to place fourth and give Battlefield the points they needed to win. The Bobcats wound up just ahead of runner-up Yorktown. “She had an incredible swim,” Battlefield head coach Jay Thorpe said, “turning what looked like a second-place team finish into a two-point state championship win.” See SWIMMING, page 16

Senior-powered Manassas Park boys playoff run ends Superb season keyed by Simmons, Garza, Chambers, Malik-Duarte, Daniel By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

A senior-heavy roster nearly led the Manassas Park boys basketball team to the Class 3 state tournament. Heading into the regional semifinals versus top-seed William Monroe, Manassas Park was hopeful of a big win, but it was not to be as the Cougars fell to James Monroe 60-45 on Tuesday in Stanardsville. Jace Garza led the Cougars with 17 points. The loss didn’t mar an amazing year that saw Manassas Park finish 9-12, with numerous games against Class 6 schools. The Cougars were 6-3 in the Northwestern District. Seven-year head coach Gary Chicko sure enjoyed the ride, which saw the Cougars fall one win short. “At the beginning of the year, we were learning how to play together and win. We are even more of a team now,” said Chicko. A convincing 64-49 victory Feb. 18 over Culpeper put the Cougars on the brink of making states. “I want them to reach that next level,” said Chicko, who took Manassas Park to regionals three years ago, only to be upset in the semis as the No. 1 seed.

Loaded with veteran talent

The Cougars relied heavily on six key seniors, chiefly point guard Payton Simmons, the Northwestern District’s Class 3 Player of the Year. Simmons, the Cougars’ top scorer, came within two assists of a triple-double in the win over Culpeper. It was Simmons’ buzzer-beating 3-pointer that

Fellow senior Jace Garza (right) was a first team all-state selection. completed Manassas Park’s 70-69 comeback win Jan. 21 over Skyline, a game the Cougars trailed by 10 at the half as Simmons battled an injury. Chicko said he and Simmons are “in sync,” knowing what each other wants with few words. “He runs the show out there. He’s our floor general. He sets everybody else up and gets everybody where they need to go, getting them in the right positions.” Chicko said Simmons’ scoring average has dipped, but “he’s an even better player now,” finding teammates for scoring opportunities. “He’s not about his stats, he’s about winning,” said Chicko of Simmons. “To have your best player have that attitude and be that type of leader, that makes you a better team.” Senior guards Jace Garza and Devin Chambers are first-team and second-team all-district picks, respectively. Both are scoring threats who flank

Simmons in the backcourt. Chambers, whose father Ray is Chicko’s assistant coach, transferred in prior to his junior season. Garza, like Simmons, has been on varsity since his freshman year. “Jace was good last year, but he’s even better this year. His overall game has really evolved,” Chicko said. “And Devin’s worked so hard and really stepped up his game. He’s a much better player than he was last year. Without him we’re not having the season we’re having.” Senior guard Isaac Malik-Duarte has been in Chicko’s system since the eighth grade. “Having those three (Simmons, Garza, and Malik-Duarte) is very, very special to me. I’m so close to those three guys, I can’t put it into words,” the coach said. Senior guard Philip Daniel earned second-team all-district honors on the strength of his tenacious defense. “He doesn’t have to score a point to make an impact,” said Chicko of Daniel. “He’s everywhere on the court. He guards the other team’s best player, up in their face. He knows what they had for dinner.” Senior forward Abdullahi Abdullahi emerged late in the season for Manassas Park. “He’s gotten stronger, he’s rebounding, he’s scoring. He made a move [against Culpeper] that he couldn’t have made at the beginning of the year,” Chicko said.

Scheduling for success

Chicko challenged his senior-laden squad early, front-loading Manassas Park’s schedule with games against Class 6 opponents Osbourn, Gainesville, Hylton, and Colgan. Though the Cougars came up short in those early See BASKETBALL, page 16

So very close. The Woodbridge Vikings traveled to the Virginia Beach Sports Center for the Class 6 state wrestling meet Feb. 18-19 intent on bringing back the program’s first-ever state championship. Despite placing six of their 13 state-qualifiers in the top-6, the Vikings came up just 2.5 points short of Robinson, which repeated as team champ. “Saturday was a heartbreaker for our kids and program,” Woodbridge head coach Ty Knepp said. “These kids had an outstanding year and have nothing to hang their heads about. They will go down as one of the best teams in school history.” In his state final, senior Tyler Tanev (29-5) got things going for the Vikings, defeating Forest Park junior Anthony Orlando (26-8) by a 7-4 decision in the 120-pound bout. It was Tanev’s second straight state title. “He wrestled fearlessly and went out to score points and dominate,” Knepp

OBITUARIES

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | February 24, 2022

OBITUARIES Doris McLean Coffey Doris McLean Coffey, 85, passed away on January 11, 2022. Doris was preceded in death by her son Gregory and husband of 63 years, Mitch T. Coffey, the loss of whom arguably cost her whole heart; daughter, Darlene (John); grandchildren, James (Angela) and Tiffany; and great-granddaughter, Virginia Louise. Doris married her childhood sweetheart and they had two children, Darlene Michele and Gregory Scott. Doris was a homemaker and doting mother, raising her children as the family moved from North Carolina to Virginia where they eventually settled in Warrenton in the late 1960’s. When the children were grown, Doris took a job working in the lunchroom of the local elementary school. After retirement, Doris enjoyed “loafing” about the country with Mitch in their RV, purchased for touring her mother and mother-in-law around this great country. Family was the most important thing in Doris’ life. She most enjoyed spending time with family and friends at Lake Anna during the summers, and on trips to Canada in the summers and winter. She was famous for her fried chicken, country fired steak, cherry yum yum, and especially her “Doris McMuffins” that she made for breakfast when the grandchildren visited. A service was 12:00PM on February 19, 2022, at Bethel United Methodist Church at 6903 Blantyre Road in Warrenton, immediately followed by an interment service at Little Georgetown Cemetery in Broad Run. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Blue Ridge Hospice, the Fauquier Food Bank, or the Fauquier SPCA.

Roger (Tony) Anthony Gooden Roger (Tony) Anthony Gooden locked up his toolchest collection for the last time on February 17, 2022. God broke the mold when he was born to Roger W. and Joann Z. Gooden on February 5, 1958. Due to being unable to find the toolchest keys, compensation payment from selling off the tools for the many tortures and pranks his younger siblings Terry, Tammy, Todd, and Tracy had to endure from their big brother during childhood won’t be paid out. Even though he had access to the proper tools, a sibling was sometimes used to measure the depth of a hole or test out a new paint color. Once his siblings were older, he got himself stationed in Korea by joining the Army out of high school. Missing home he moved on to the National Guard. Being good with his hands, he decided to build houses for a time after his military service. Eventually wanting a home of his own, he picked up at a gas station his (to be) wife, Elizabeth (Libby). Their daughter, Laura, is glad her mom decided to keep this grease monkey. Life was never dull as he kept his daughter entertained with the many outings of fishing, target shooting, ATV riding, road trips, and woodworking projects. Working at VDOT gave him another group of people to prank. But when it came to computers, computers won! Getting people to laugh and caring for stray animals were his hobbies. The family dog who highjacked his truck one wintry night was also the only family member as excited as him to walk into a Harbor Freight. Almost became his mailing address—so the family is now left with a tool collection that almost reflects their inventory. This gentle giant who loved German chocolate cake and will always be remembered as humble and kind has left his repertoire of jokes and many happy memories with his wife of 40 years, Elizabeth (Libby) Gooden; daughter Laura Gooden; siblings: Terry Gooden (Laura), Tammy Metcalf (Jed), Todd Gooden (Missy), and Tracy Miller; a total of twelve nieces and nephews; and the family dog, Bear. The family will receive friends Thursday February 24, 2022 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. A funeral service will be held Friday February 25, 2022 in the funeral home chapel starting at 11:00 a.m. followed by burial in Culpeper National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that expressions of sympathy take the form of donations in Roger’s name to American Stroke Association: www.stroke.org or to the Wounded Warrior Project: www.woundedwarriorproject.org.

Mom went to work in the sixties for the Defense Intelligence Agency. She held positions with them and the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center. She was recognized for her accomplishments and retired in 1987, very proud of what a country girl with an eighth-grade education could accomplish. Mom loved to garden, loved to cook, loved family gatherings— and above all, she loved to shop. Mom was blessed to stay in her home, continued living alone, enjoyed her independence, and was surrounded by friends and family until a broken bone in her leg slowed her down. Matthew 25:23—“His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord”.
