Iconic summertime hangout faces closure over lease dispute

More than 20 guns removed locally via ‘red flag’ law

It didn’t take long for fans of Tim’s Rivershore to respond after hearing Monday that their favorite summertime hangout could be closing next month.

Owner Tim Bauckman shared the stunning news via Facebook mid-afternoon on Feb. 22, that the restaurant would have to shut its doors in March after operating for 28 years on the banks of the Potomac River. Bauckman blamed Potomac Shores, which owns the property on which the restaurant operates, saying it had declined to renew the lease.

In just a few hours, news stories about the restaurant had been shared thousands of times. Then came the Change.org petition, the “Save Tim’s Rivershore!” Facebook page and the SaveTims.org website.

By Tuesday morning, all had thousands of signatures, hits and visits, making clear that Tim’s Rivershore would not leave Dumfries without a fight.

“Tim’s isn’t just a local restaurant. It’s a family: sea dwellers, land lubbers, friends and families came from near and far to visit and support this place, share stories, have a meal, pick some crabs and enjoy the atmosphere,” Wendy Lane wrote in part when she established the Change.org petition, which had garnered more than 6,000 signatures by Tuesday afternoon.

“Tim’s is the reason I chose to retire in Virginia,” wrote Brian Boyles on the “Save Tim’s Rivershore” Facebook page. He said he met his wife at Tim’s and their son worked there earning money for college.

“Yet Tim’s isn’t just a hangout or (to use Potomac Shores’ droll words) merely a ‘dining experience’ to me. It’s a vital organ,” he wrote.

A post-holiday-season surge of COVID-19 cases has turned into a post-holiday surge of COVID-19 deaths. The Prince William Health District has reported 44 more local fatalities due to COVID-19 since Feb. 15, bringing the total death toll for the month so far to 58.

With four days left in what is the shortest month of the year, February 2021 now leads all other months in reported local COVID-19 deaths since the pandemic began. Up until this week, January had the most reported local deaths with 57.

Virginia has now lost a total of 7,807 people to the pandemic.

The surge in deaths – amounting to an average of 106 reported a day – reflect the surge of cases reported in both December and January. On its website this week, the Virginia Department of Health noted it is now processing 2021 death certificates related to those spikes.

Tim Bauckman owns Tim’s Rivershore in Dumfries as well as three other waterside restaurants in Virginia.

“Got to have Tim’s Rivershore! Wouldn’t be summer in Woodbridge without it,” wrote Denise Dunlap on the same Facebook page.

“Shame on you Potomac Shores! No new windows or paved roads will ever compare to what Tim and my sister have done for Prince William County,” wrote Johnna Champion-Brandt. “The Bauckman name will remain in the history and yours will be forgotten.”

Bauckman said Tuesday he was overwhelmed by all the support.

“At first I thought there wasn’t a lot they could do,” he said.

The efforts have already resulted in a online community meeting, planned for Thursday, Feb. 25. There is also talk of taking the fight to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors within the next couple of weeks to voice their support for “the Rivershore” and to vow not to support any restaurant built in its place, Bauckman said.

Tim’s will remain open on weekends in March with a smaller menu to give everyone a chance to say goodbye, Bauckman said. At this time of year, Tim’s is usually closed for the season.

“I wish we had another year to finish up,” he added.

At least eight Prince William County residents and one Manassas City resident have had their firearms confiscated by local police since Virginia’s “red flag” law took effect last July. In every instance, the law was used to remove firearms from people who were either involved in violent domestic disputes or were experiencing a severe mental health crisis.

The new law allows a commonwealth’s attorney, law-enforcement officer or judge to petition to have a person’s firearms removed using an emergency substantial risk order, or ESRO, if they believe the person poses a threat to themselves or others. It also bars the person from purchasing any new guns until the order is removed.

Court records show that local police officers petitioned the court to confiscate residents’ firearms in all nine instances. Four followed domestic disputes and five were in response to people experiencing a severe mental health crisis, including people threatening to take their own lives or to commit “suicide by cop,” according to court records.

Police have confiscated more than 23 guns in connection with the orders. Firearms range from semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and pistols. Prince William County police officials say weapons have not been returned in at least four of the eight cases but declined request for comment about the remaining four cases.

See RED FLAG, page 4

One of the guns removed from Bryan Sniffen, 42, in January after he allegedly assaulted a woman and threatened to kill police officers during a standoff outside a home in the Ashland subdivision, according to court records.

Inspectors added to field COVID-19 complaints Unannounced visits promised to those with repeat complaints

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William Health District has hired three contractors to help investigate and enforce COVID-19 complaints in the county, Manassas and Manassas Park.

The new employees, brought on in early February, will make unannounced visits and inspections to businesses that have received complaints about not following COVID-19 guidelines. Each contractor will cover a specific area of the district: east, central and west.

If the contractors witness businesses violating the rules “egregiously,” they can report back to the health department, which can immediately suspend a business’s occupancy permit, according to Patrick Jones, an environmental health specialist for the Prince William Health District.

Jones said the new employees will first visit establishments that are repeat offenders that have had multiple COVID-19 complaints filed against them. The contractors will help educate those businesses about taking COVID-19 precautions and could take enforcement action against them if they do not comply with guidelines.

The health district has received more than 1,800 complaints against businesses and other public places since May, but Jones said none have revealed any major public health violations. Thus the health district has not yet taken action to suspend any permits, Jones said.

Major COVID-19 violations would include overcrowding, patrons not wearing masks and restaurants serving alcohol past 10 p.m., Jones said.

“Everybody has been very cooperative so far. We haven’t had like in some areas where they’re just refusCOVID-19, from page 1 “As a result, a larger number of deaths is expected to be added by report date,” the VDH said.

In other words, the deaths reported in the last few days actually occurred in January. The newly reported deaths underscore that both December and January were even more deadly than they initially appeared.

New Year’s Eve was one of the deadliest days of the pandemic with 63 deaths reported on that day alone.

Virginia has set records for newly reported deaths in each of the last several days. Across the state, a total of 709 were reported over the last five days.

The health district could have hired contractors to help investigate and enforce COVID-19 violations as early as last fall. Asked why the Prince William Health District did not hire contractors for the job in the fall, Jones said the district only recently “got a viable pool of candidates [who] applied for the positions.”

The more than 1,800 coronavirus-related complaints lodged since last May were mostly related to mask-wearing in area businesses, Jones said. Of those complaints, 602 were lodged about restaurants, 449 were against brick-and-mortar retail stores and 373 were about grocery and convenience stores.

The health district has been “sympathetic” to area businesses that receive complaints because of the financial fallout from the pandemic, Jones said.

“Businesses are hurting,” he added. “We’ve been very sensitive to that. We’ve been very sensitive in our approach.”

Jones said an additional 13 complaints were received about vioPark, has now lost 175 women and 236 men to COVID-19.

The local death toll as of Wednesday, Feb. 24 was 412. The deaths of 44 local residents have been reported since Feb. 15.

Prince William County has lost 368 residents to COVID-19, while the City of Manassas has lost 36 and Manassas Park, 8.

The victims range in age from their 20s to over 80. COVID-19 has been especially devastating to those age 80 and older. Across the county, only 727 residents over age 80 have contracted COVID-19, and of those, 143, or nearly 20%, have died, according to VDH data.

Another 19 complaints were received about violations in Prince William County schools, including 15 about one specific school.

But Jones said those complaints were primarily precautionary; people filed complaints ahead of school functions to ensure that COVID-19

guidelines would be followed.

Jones said that educational outreach and site visits were made to the school by the health district following the complaints. He declined to say, however, which school received the complaints.

The public can lodge complaints about businesses not following Gov. Ralph Northam’s Executive Order 72 guidelines through the Virginia Department of Health’s online complaint portal.

Condo developer pledges to buy, restore Rockledge Town council vote slated for March 16

By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer

The developer behind the Mill at Occoquan, a seven-story mixed-use project that would bring 80 condominiums, retail and restaurant space along the Occoquan River, is sweetening the deal with an offer to purchase and preserve the historic Rockledge Mansion and build the town’s first paid parking garage.

If the Mill at Occoquan project is approved, developer Kevin Sills told the Occoquan Town Council last week he will buy Rockledge as well as property on Ellicott Street to build a 156-space paid parking garage even before he begins construction on the condominium and retail project.

Sills, president of Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Investments in Manassas, said he plans on preserving Rockledge, which was built in 1758, but does not yet have specific plans.

“It’s in pretty rough shape,” he said.

Rockledge has been used as an events venue, but Lance Houghton, who owns Rockledge, said COVID-19 has shut that down for the past year. He is temporarily leasing the ballroom, which was an addition to the mansion, to a caterer who is doing very small events.

“I’m in favor of preserving the mansion, and am confident Kevin [Sills] has the means to do so,” Houghton said.

The 5,000-square-foot mansion is located on a 2-acre property on Mill Street. It has been on the market since July for $1.5 million. It was assessed in 2020 for $800,800. It has

been owned by the Houghton family since 1986, when it was purchased for $187,800, according to Prince William County property records.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks register, according to the real estate listing.

Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta said preserving Rockledge is “obviously of paramount importance to us.

“I know people have floated a variety of ideas over the past few years, including use it as a B&B, a boutique hotel, more regular event space, or as museum space donated to the Occoquan Historical Society,” Porta said in an email. “I’m not going to express a preference for any of those, but I will say I would personally consider any of those uses valuable to the town, provided Rockledge itself is preserved and shored-up.”

Porta said a paid public parking garage would be a “significant benefit to the town.”

Porta noted that a 2017 parking study revealed the need to add to the town’s parking inventory by adding a parking garage. Porta called the suggestion “the biggest challenge” for the town among the study’s suggested fixes.

“We’ve formally studied the idea multiple times over the past two decades and have found it simply beyond the town’s financial capabilities,” Porta said of a parking garage.

“As a result, the only reasonable option is for it to occur as part of the economic redevelopment of existing areas in town.”

Rockledge Mansion in Occoquan was built in 1758 and is being used as for very small events.

If the Mill at Occoquan is not approved, Sills said he would “probably not” buy the properties or build the parking garage.

“We are not in the parking lot business,” he said. “But I fully expect we will be approved.”

Sills attended an Occoquan Town Council meeting Tuesday, Feb. 16 to let the councilmembers know about his plans.

The town council will hold a public hearing on the Mill at Occoquan on Tuesday, March 2, and will vote on it two weeks later, on Tuesday, March 16.

The Mill at Occoquan proposal would bring a seven story building with 80 condominiums with retail space below to a little under an acre of land at the end of Mill Street be-

side the Mill House Museum. The building would include space for a 10,000-square-foot restaurant and would feature a top-floor observation deck with glass windows on three sides overlooking the Occoquan River. It would include 3,000 feet of additional restaurant space on the top floor. Both the restaurants and the observation deck would be open to the public. The building would have two stories of underground parking.

The project also includes a 350foot “riverwalk” along the back of the building, which would be accessible from steps beside the Mill House Museum.

County picks site for 14th high school

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County has found a home for its 14th high school.

The Prince William County School Board approved the purchase of a 20-acre parcel near Minnieville and Telegraph roads for the new high school, which is set to open in 2025, during their Feb. 17 meeting.

The school board agreed to pay $2,718,198 for the parcel at 13205 Telegraph Road. It was most recently assessed in 2020 for $1.44 million, according to Prince William County land records.

A total of seven parcels of land are needed for the new high school, according to the purchase agreement for the new site.

The purchase marks a change in plans for the 14th high school, which was initially slated to be built near Prince William County Parkway and Hoadly Road.

In May 2019, the school board approved an effort to take a parcel in that area of the county via eminent domain.

That site met opposition from area residents who opposed having a high school adjacent to their semi-rural neighborhoods of mostly upscale homes off Prince William Parkway. The former site bordered

the neighborhoods of Bren Forest, the Reserve at Hunters Ridge and Trey Woods.

At its new location, near Tacketts Mill shopping center, the new high school will be the first to be built in that area of Woodbridge since the early 1970s. The closest high schools to the site are Woodbridge Senior and Gar-Field high schools, both of which were built in the 1970s.

The new site is closer to the student population it will serve than the former site, according to school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta.

“This location will reduce overall travel distances, provide more efficient school boundaries, and address current and projected overcrowding in our eastern area high schools,” she said.

“This high school will also provide the eastern area of Prince William with a new, state-of-the-art high school with which to highlight the exciting opportunities in the area.”

The school division is opening its 13th high school, Gainesville High School, this August. It is being built behind Jiffy Lube Live on University Boulevard in Gainesville.

The school board purchased an initial 20 acres for the 14th high school site, which will be built between Telegraph and Summit School roads. This map shows the first 20 acres purchased for the school, outlined in blue, as well as a planned. widening for Telegraph Road and an extension of Summit School Road.

Virginia to join 22 states in abolishing the death penalty

New law used almost immediately

The first time local police used an emergency substantial risk order was on July 14, 2020, just two weeks after the law took effect.

Manassas City police confiscated guns from a man who police said stabbed his girlfriend in the face, neck and abdomen during a domestic dispute on July 14. Salomon Nazar was arrested in Albemarle County later that day and charged with aggravated malicious wounding. Manassas police obtained an emergency substantial risk order to confiscate Nazar’s guns the same day. Nazar remains at the Albemarle County jail, according to court records.

More recently, Prince William County police filed an ESRO to take guns away from a 42-year-old Manassas-area resident following a violent domestic incident. The accused, Bryan Sniffen, allegedly strangled and assaulted a woman in front of their daughter while armed with a rifle and a pistol on Jan. 17.

A 45-minute standoff with 15 Prince William County police officers ensued outside their home in the Ashland subdivision during which police say Sniffen threatened to kill police officers. Sniffen was subsequently arrested and charged with strangulation, domestic assault and battery and brandishing. Prince William County Police obtained an order to confiscate Sniffen’s guns the following day.

Sniffen is currently being held in jail awaiting trial. He was denied bond.

In another recent incident, a 33-yearold Montclair man named Adam Benson was arrested after entering a home that was not his on Dec. 23 and encountering the homeowner. When police arrived, a police officer wrote that Benson could not

New restaurant planned

Biddle Real Estate Ventures, which manages Potomac Shores for California-based developer SunCal, said the move is the result of complaints about Tim’s Rivershore being in a state of “disrepair” and its effort to improve the area’s amenities. Potomac Shores has worked with Tim’s for years toward those goals. Accommodations have included forgiving some lease payments, said Burns Patterson, spokesman for Biddle Real Estate Ventures.

“For a number of years, Potomac Shores has made a range of accommodations to assist in keeping Tim’s Rivershore viable,” according to a statement Biddle Real Estate Ventures released Tuesday. “As complaints about the location escalated, we have sought ways in recent years to pursue improvements on-site.”

Biddle is seeking proposals from local restaurant operators, including Bauckman, and plans to replace the Rivershore with another seafood restaurant, Patterson said.

“We expect to have positive news for local residents and the surrounding community in the coming weeks, including news about new restaurant operations and renovations to the waterfront location at Potomac Shores,” the statement said.

“We thank the team at Tim’s Rivershore, including Tim, his partners and staff, for their contributions, and wish them continued success at their many other locations in the region,” the statement

‘If it could happen, it happened here.’

Bauckman initially shared the news of his restaurant’s fate in an emotional Facebook post.

“I wish I wasn’t telling everybody this. This is not what we wish would have happened. It’s a heartbreaker,” he said.

state what he was doing at the home. Police searched his car and found six loaded firearms, including an AR-15, two rifles, a shotgun and two pistols.

Benson’s wife later told police that her husband’s mental state was deteriorating and that he had been acting “paranoid and delusional,” according to court documents.

Benson has since been admitted to a mental health facility. Police used an emergency substantial risk order to confiscate his firearms.

On Nov. 12, Prince William County police confiscated firearms from 41-year-old military veteran who threatened to take his own life. Police said the Bristow man had told friends throughout the day that he was planning to either kill himself or commit “suicide by cop” while his 23-year-old son was inside the residence. Police wrote that the man suffers post-traumatic stress disorder.

Firearms obtained by police from the man included three semi-automatic rifles, three rifles and six handguns, court documents show.

On Sept. 3, a 41-year-old Woodbridge woman voluntarily relinquished an AR-15 rifle to Prince William County police after threatening to kill herself. The woman sent photos of the gun and text messages to her husband stating that she would kill herself with it, police said. The police used an emergency substantial risk order to obtain the weapon.

Firearms confiscated after owners are in custody

Prince William County police spokesman 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok said in an email that the use of emergency substantial risk orders is aimed at helping individuals get “the resources they need to improve their well-being, while at the same time ensuring everyone’s safety.”

“There is a great deal of uncertainty when someone is experiencing a crisis and may not be in their normal state of mind.

This uncertainty has the propensity to potentially increase if the person has immediate or relatively easy access to weapons, including firearms,” Perok said.

See RED FLAG, page 5

Bauckman talked about the people he had met there; his kids growing up there; that people had gotten married, baptized and divorced there.

“If it could happen, it happened here,” he said.

Bauckman said the owners of the property think they can find something else that would be better for the spot. “They want something shiny and new,” Bauckman said.

Tim’s Rivershore has sponsored numerous charities and community events over the years, most notably the annual Polar Plunge, which raises money for Special Olympics. Bauckman also has Tim’s restaurants in Fairview Beach, Coles Point and Lake Anna.

The Rivershore building has been around for decades, built by watermen. Commercial fishermen, the initial owners, ran the original restaurant until Bauckman bought it nearly 30 years ago. It’s always been a bit rough along the edges.

“I know we were never fancy. We never wanted to be that. We were a crab house on the river and that’s what we wanted to be,” Bauckman said. “To me, that’s what fits here.”

Bauckman sold his property to KSI, a predecessor of SunCal, in 2004 and maintained an extended lease since then. There had been plans for years

by Potomac Shores developers to build a marina nearby with a new Tim’s Rivershore restaurant.

“Of all the scenarios, I would never in a million years think this would be it,” Bauckman said. “It’s one of the hardest things about it.”

Prince William Times | February 25, 2021

GUEST OPINION

There are many good reasons to keep the rural crescent Twenty-two years ago, Prince William Supervisors recognized that development area residents were struggling with ever increasing traffic, overcrowded schools and vanishing green open space.

To help address the problem, they adopted a smart-growth tool, known today as the “rural crescent.” This initiative was intended to strengthen the county’s ability to create healthy, sustainable communities countywide.

When the supervisors defined a protected rural area with low-density land uses, they created an opportunity to maximize taxpayer investments for public services in the development area. They also created the slightly higher density semi-rural area to serve as a buffer to the rural area and to provide added protections to the environmentally sensitive mid-county area.

Instead of extending costly infrastructure to serve new homes in the countryside, the supervisors opted for a smart-growth approach that would help them focus taxpayer investments on undeveloped and underdeveloped land in the development area, of which there is plenty. They chose a tool that could help them create land-use patterns that support better transit options. They wanted to create opportunities to build affordable housing in areas with easy access to public services.

At the same time, the supervisors recognized the value of the rural area to maintaining housing diversity across the county. And the rural crescent protects Prince William’s scenic countryside, where there are nearly 40 miles of Virginia Scenic Byways. It creates a place for wineries, breweries and other rural businesses. It protects a place for what’s left of our farming community, supporting locally grown foods that are available to all through community supported agriculture and farmers markets.

And, perhaps most important of all, the rural crescent helps protect our public drinking water supply.

Land in the rural crescent flows through the semi-rural area and on to the Occoquan Reservoir, RED FLAG, from page 4 Perok added that there did not appear to be any threat to the officers who carried out the task of confiscating the firearms.

which supplies about 40% of the clean drinking water for 1.7 million people and, in an emergency, can supply all for a short period of time.

Low-density development in the rural crescent and semi-rural area keeps impervious surfaces at a minimum in a key location, the Occoquan Reservoir watershed.

According to the Northern Virginia Regional Commission, watersheds with impervious surface cover of just 10 to 15% show clear signs of degradation. Watersheds with impervious surface cover greater than 25% cannot support aquatic life.

The rural crescent, the foundation of Prince William’s long-range land use plan, was ahead of its time.

While it is true that supervisors have not taken full advantage of the opportunities to maximize investments in the development area, this is not the time to throw in the towel.

We need decision makers who are willing to invest in underserved areas, equitable schools, re-greening communities, promoting public transportation, incentivizing agriculture, protecting our water supply… in short, (finally) fulfilling the goals of the rural crescent as well as the stated environmental and climate goals of the board of county supervisors.

Given current needs to address affordable housing and the existential threat of climate change, now is the time to take a page from the experts and act to protect the rural crescent, not dismantle it. From east to west, the rural and semi-rural areas provide health, economic, and quality of life benefits for all residents.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks to the school board for supporting in-person instruction As a parent of Prince William County students, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you to School Board Chair Babur Lateef, Justin Wilk, Jennifer Wall, Lisa Zargarpur, and Diane Raulston for staying the course at last week’s school board meeting and returning our students to their school buildings sooner instead of later.

I know their decisions were not easy ones, based on the pressure that I’m sure they have felt all

school year from individuals who wanted schools to remain all virtual. Nonetheless, I appreciate them giving parents and students who wanted a choice on hybrid instruction the opportunity to do so. As a Prince William County resident, I appreciate the bipartisan nature of this decision-making and hope it continues in the future.

What’s the plan for transportation, schools, water in the rural crescent?

Within the past six weeks, three of my neighbors have sold their houses within three days of going on the market -- all well beyond the asking price and one for as much as $75,000 more. Land in the rural crescent is getting more and more expensive.

Affordable housing is very, very important, but you can’t just build housing. There has to be a plan that addresses transportation and schooling. I have not seen or heard of any affordable housing development in the rural crescent accompanied by a transportation or education plan.

It is 45 minutes to any transportation from my house. There is no bus service, no train service, nothing. So if you want to build on my road, go ahead, but the cost of that housing has to include buying and maintaining a car. We need to see a

comprehensive plan of some kind.

The rural crescent is about water, both groundwater and surface water.

The rural crescent protects the Occoquan watershed that is part of the primary supply of Fairfax Water. Our ground water levels are decreasing, and in Prince William County we only have one well monitoring the situation.

Prince William is abandoning the protections that its comprehensive plan provided for the ecology by having the rural crescent. We need (and are required) to study how any proposed land use change will impact water and ground water availability, sustainability and quality for existing homes. Where will the water for the new homes come from?

law violates the Second Amendment and allows firearms to be taken without due process. However, a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law was dismissed the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia in November 2020.

The lawsuit was defended by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D). Herring said at the time

that the law will “continue to save lives and keep communities safe.”

“In Virginia, we have already seen how this ‘red flag’ law has been used to save lives by keeping firearms out of the hands of someone who could use it to harm themselves or others,” Herring said.

Rare river otter visits draw fans to Fairfax park ‘Otterazzi,’ nature fans hold out hope for their return

By Cher Musyk

Contributing Writer

Nature lovers were thrilled when North American river otters unexpectedly showed up at Huntley Meadows Park in Fairfax County in January, attracting large crowds of onlookers, some of whom drove from hours away to catch a rare glimpse of the playful creatures.

Huntley Meadows, a Fairfax County park consisting of dense wooded forests, wildflower meadows and vast marshy wetlands, boasts some of the best wildlife watching in the Washington metropolitan area -- but river otters are not regular inhabitants.

“The last time river otters were regularly seen in the park was in 2012, and that was for just a couple of months before they moved on, so this is really special,” said Karen Sheffield, Huntley Meadows Park manager.

The park has seen a huge boost in attendance since the onset of COVID-19. But the recent arrival of the river otters has caused park attendance to spike to new levels. Nature photographers trying to capture the perfect shot, naturalists attempting to observe the otters in a brand new habitat, and curious families hoping to catch a glimpse of the otters crowded the park every morning.

There was incredible interest from around the region and beyond.

Ana Ka’ahanui, a master naturalist and co-founder of Capital Nature,

coined the term “otterazzi,” to describe the hordes of otter fans crowding the boardwalk over the marshy area where the river otters fished and frolicked. Ka’ahanui’s friend traveled three and a half hours from New Jersey to see the river otters.

Tammy Schwab, Manager, Education & Outreach for the Fairfax County Park Authority, explained the excitement simply: “Otters are super cute! And they are still wild enough to be a rare site, not like the other animals we see all the time in nature.”

Schwab continued, “Otters are famous for being playful, especially how they slide in mud, snow, and into the water and chase each other.”

River otters are a spectacular sight in the wild. They are semi-aquatic mammals with thick protective fur, which keeps them warm while they swim and fish in ice-covered waters. They have long, slender bodies, short legs, webbed feet and strong tails, which make them effortless swimmers.

They are also incredible hunters. In the water, otters’ bodies can become extremely flexible, even snakelike, in their ability to contort themselves. This ability, together with their long, sensitive whiskers, enables them to suddenly catch prey in their jaws or with their clawed feet. Otters can disappear and remain under water for as long as eight minutes, which can confound even the most focused onlookers, making otter sightings

River otters catch fish and swim at Huntley Meadow Park in Alexandria. Local nature photographers, dubbed the “otterazzi,” flocked to see them in late January.

Huntley Meadows

What: 1,500 acres of diverse habitat and trails; largest park operated by the Fairfax County Park Authority.

Where: 3701 Lockheed Blvd, Alexandria, Va. Open: Seven days a week from dawn until dusk.

Parking: There is parking at the main entrance at 3701 Lockheed Blvd, Alexandria, Va., and also a small parking area at a second entrance at 6901 South Kings Highway, Alexandria, Va. Visit: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntley-meadows in the wild exhilarating.

Visitors to the park reported seeing four river otters in the wetlands, but Sheffield said that park staff believed there were a total of three river otters. Because otter families stay together for six months to a year, Schwab believed the river otters to be a mother and her pups.

“Otters are a great example of animals learning by playing as the young are learning about hunting while they play,” said Schwab.

The river otters’ residence at Huntley Meadows was short-lived, however, because they haven’t

been seen since the end of January.

Schwab explained, “Otters move around a lot. They can travel up to 25 miles in one day. Their territory can range in size but is not usually less than 10 miles. And they prefer moving water or streams and rivers.”

Recent park visitors have been disappointed that they missed such a unique opportunity. Ka’ahanui hopes they return soon because seeing them is a “cool experience which encourages people to get outdoors and connect with nature.”

Centreville outduels Potomac down the stretch, captures Class 6 boys hoops crown, 63-49

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

FILE PHOTO

Kyle Honore and the Panthers came from 11 points down to tie the game, before falling to Centreville in the Class 6 state final.

The gameplan wasn’t working, but Potomac wasn’t out of it.

Down six points at the half, and 11 early in the third quarter in last Saturday’s Class 6 boys basketball state championship game, the Panthers stormed back to tie it against host Centreville.

Alas, Potomac turned cold down the stretch, eventually succumbing 63-49. Centreville (10-2) won its second consecutive title after being named co-champion in 2020 with South County.

Potomac, which won Class 5 titles in 2014 and 2016, was bidding to become the first Class 6 champion from Prince William County. “Our kids showed resilience all year long. These guys did not get that far to quit in the middle of the game. I’m proud of everything,” said coach Keith Honore.

The Panthers (12-1) faced a two-week COVID quarantine in December. “I was pessimistic about us finishing the season,” said Honore. “I was waiting on a phone call” that could have ended the season. “Fortunately we were able to make up enough games” to win the Cardinal District.

Played in a sparsely crowded gym at Centreville High, it was an unusual state final. Moved from VCU’s Siegel Center in Richmond due to the pandemic, the game still featured a national anthem,

“These guys did not get that far to quit in the middle of the game.”

player introductions and miscellaneous supporters making noise and placing cutouts in the bleachers.

Players wore masks, with many slipping down players’ faces early in the first quarter.

While Potomac’s strength is speed, transition and dangerous shooting, Centreville countered with a traditional attack built around 6-foot-7 big men Avery Ford and Ryan Newell and the leadership and shooting of guard Chris Kuzemka.

The first quarter ended 7-7 as the pace seemed to favor Centreville, which slowed Potomac down and played strong help-side defense. The Wildcats spurted to a 23-14 second quarter lead before Tyrell Harris and Kejahn Rainey scored the Panthers’ next nine points to close Centreville’s halftime lead to 25-19.

Centreville came out strong in the third, building its lead to 34-23, but the Panthers seized momentum, threatening to dramatically change the outcome.

Harris, Potomac’s tallest player at 6-7, fueled an 8-2 scoring run with a driving hoop and offensive tip that cut the deficit to 36-31.

POTOMAC, from page 8 A technical foul on the Potomac bench led to Kuzemka’s two free throws, restoring Centreville’s lead to 38-31, but the motivated Panthers kept charging. Seven straight points tied the game as Rainey made two free throws, Anthony Jackson drilled a 3-pointer from the right win and Lorin Hall roared in for a layup to make it 38-38 with 32 seconds left in the third.

Trailing 42-40 in the fourth, Rainey missed an open 3-pointer from the left corner for the lead, but recovered the loose ball to convert an acrobatic flying layup to make it 42-42 with 6:19 left.

After Harris’ free throw knotted it at 43-43 with 5:55 left, Centreville was the epitome of execution down

the stretch, beating Potomac pressure to close on a 20-6 run over the final 5:03 to win by 14.

“We won the turnover battle, but we did not win the rebound battle,” said Honore. “They beat us up pretty good. We did not get the second chance points we’re accustomed to getting. And we did not make shots we typically make. They were the better team.”

Harris led Potomac with 17, followed by Honore with 15 and Rainey 10.

Kuzemka scored 21 for Centreville, with Ford adding 17 and Paul McClain 10.

On Feb. 17, Potomac defeated Landstown 79-73 in the state semifinals, overcoming a 43-point performance by rival guard Donald Hand Jr.

Stephen L. Szabolscky Stephen L. Szabolscky, 88, of Remington passed away peacefully, Saturday, February 6, 2021 at Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton, VA. Steve was born in South Amboy, New Jersey and at the age of 16, soloed and earned his pilot’s license in an Aeronica 7AC Champion airplane his older brother Al taught him to fly.

This was the beginning of a lifelong passion for aviation. At the age of 20, Steve was working at the Ford Motor Company Manufacturing plant in Edison, New Jersey and dating the love of his life Meg. They married in 1952 and left for Fort Worth, TX where he graduated from the American Flyers Flight School. After graduation, they returned to New Jersey and in January 1953, Steve was drafted into the Korean Conflict and was honorably discharged two years later in January 1955. After his tour, he returned home and making aviation his career, he apprenticed under a certified Airplane Engines (AE) lead mechanic while pursuing his own AE and Aircraft Powerplant (AP) licenses. After earning these licenses, Steve flew for Meteor Air Transport and AAXICO Airlines, flying C-46s and DC-4s. In 1960, Steve was hired by Alleghany Airlines, which became USAir, and he flew out of Newark, New Jersey eventually moving the family of five to Virginia in 1970 as he was based in DCA. Steve took an early retirement from USAir in 1987 after 27 years of service. He became and is a member of the “Soaring Eagles” of USAir and he continued to fly light aircraft well into his early 80s from a grass strip at his home while receiving visits from his dearest friends and family from the air and land.

He was happiest at his home with his wife Meg, his dogs, cats, and birds, and treasuring the moments when family and friends visited. Steve was always extremely generous with his time and knowledge with family and friends, teaching his wife, Meg, his son, Stephen, and grandson, Abe, to fly a J-3 Cub. Steve soloed his grandson Abe who earned his pilot’s license. During his retirement, he stayed active with inspections and annuals on light aircraft. He was an inspiration to others, sharing the knowledge he had learned throughout his life with everyone around him.

Not only in flight, he also shared mechanical lessons on vehicles and building radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters. He also enjoyed spending summer days at gatherings with his family, offering airplane rides to his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends, and anyone visiting. Moments that will forever be etched into the lives of those who knew him.

Steve was a passionate story teller and always had interesting stories to share about some of the passengers he met on his flight trips with USAir; shaking hands with Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek to meeting Roddy McDowall and other cast members from the movie, Planet of the Apes, who were in full makeup when they boarded the airplane and how he was so impressed with their makeup.

Steve was a genuine person all of the time and a beacon for so many.

His generous, caring, helpful personality affected so many people he encountered.

Steve is survived by his wife of 68 years, Margaret M. Szabolscky; daughter, Elizabeth West (John); daughter, Suzann Szabolscky; son, Stephen A. Szabolscky (Cheryl); 5 grandchildren, Abe, Robby, Paul, Erica and Stephanie; and 10 great-grandchildren, Lauren, Mitchell, Kennedy, Robert, William, Michael, Maya, Kourtney, Eli and Elaina.

Madge Murphey Clark Eicher Madge Murphey Clark Eicher, age 87, died on February 13, 2021 at Poet’s Walk in Warrenton Virginia.

Madge Murphey Clark Eicher was born at the family home at Fauquier Springs in Warrenton Virginia on August 1, 1933. She was the second of three children born to the late Randolph Clay Murphey, Jr, and Madge Hardwick Murphey.

She graduated from Warrenton High School and attended Longwood College. When she came home, she married “Jim”, James Spalding Clark and joined the family business that Jim and his brother, John, started, Clark Brothers Gun Shop. Jim was involved in a serious accident at the gun shop in 1970 and it took his life.

Madge married her second husband, L.H. Eicher, in 1975. They developed land and farmed.

Madge was an active member of the Republican Party. Always a staunch and fearless supporter of freedom and our Constitution, she dedicated her life to fighting for liberty and limited government.

She was an active member of Heritage Presbyterian Church. She enjoyed weekly Bible study, fellowship with her church family, and service to the community.

Her favorite hobbies were cooking, gardening, and sewing. She always had a thriving vegetable garden in the summer and canned vegetables throughout the summer and into the fall. She was an enthusiastic Point to Point horse race observer. She enjoyed seeing all of her friends and participating in the “tailgate” competitions.

Her greatest loves were family and friends. She always had an open-door policy at her home and there were many impromptu drop ins to discuss politics, life, farming, the weather, family, or whatever you wanted to talk about.

OBITUARIES

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | February 25, 2021

Richard L. “Rick” Collette, Jr. Richard L. “Rick” Collette, Jr., 67, of Middleburg passed away February 12, 2021 at Winchester Medical Center after complications from lung surgery.

Rick was born April 14, 1953 in Martinsburg, West Virginia to the late Dr. Richard L. Collette and Janet Evelyn Collette.

Rick graduated from Fauquier High School in 1971. After high school he met his beloved wife Kathy Humphrey and they had a daughter Katie.

Rick Collette was a man who never met a stranger. There wasn’t a place you didn’t go with him that he wouldn’t stop and talk to someone. Rick worked different jobs over the years but the one he was remembered most for was his time in the car business which he did for over 30 years. His love of his family, his friends, and his community were much a part of him as the dry wit and sarcasm and his hat that he wore that identified him as Rick. His passions included working the Sunday crossword puzzle and refinishing furniture. In recent years his passion turned toward helping those in Fauquier and Loudoun counties who struggled with addiction, especially families suffering loss. He became one of the original members of Families Overcoming Drug Addiction (FODA). He was a man who called Middleburg and Mt. Defiance “home”.

He is survived by his sister Abby Lawson (Shane) of Warrenton, his brother Steve Collette of Warrenton and his sister-in-law Sandra Humphrey (Kim) of Rehoboth Beach, DE, as well as his beloved nephew Trevor Lawson.

He was preceded in death by his wife Kathy Collette and his daughter Katie Collette, along with his beloved corgi Sunny.

A graveside service will take place at 1pm Saturday February 27 at Little Georgetown Cemetery, near Broad Run. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to CAYA Coalition (Come As You Are), PO Box 3457, Warrenton, VA 20188.

Arlene Rita Keithley Arlene Rita Keithley, 90, passed away on Friday, February 12, 2021 at the Fauquier Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Warrenton, Virginia with her children by her side. She was born December 6, 1930 in Old Town, Maine, a daughter of Forrest Linwood Avery a Pharmacist and Annie (DeRoche) Avery. A graduate of John Bapst Memorial High School, (1949). She briefly attended Nursing School in Portland but when her beloved father fell ill, returned home to maintain operation of his business, the Avery Pharmacy in Yarmouth.

While attending a dance in Portland she met her future husband who was stationed at the Brunswick Naval Airbase and on May 13, 1955, she married Donald D. Keithley in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas.

Arlene was a dedicated and loving homemaker, mother, sister and friend. The family lived in Kansas, Ohio, Missouri and Maryland before moving to Rappahannock County, Virginia in 1973 to raise their three children. She ran the Old Hollow Grocery in Sperryville, Virginia and got to know many in the community. She got to see her kids and their friends grow up and form friendships and relationships that became just as dear, and grew her own family over the years.

Arlene enjoyed painting and developing her talent, taking classes and painting with friends. There was always an easel and paints setup in the house. The beach was her love since childhood with many happy memories; the Craignair Inn by the Sea, rustic family trips to Millinocket and Lake Huron islands, family vacations to Ocean City, a cruise of Italy’s Amalfi coast and in later years the community of Country Club Estates in Venice, Florida enjoying the Florida beaches in the winter.

Above all, Arlene loved getting together and spending time with her family. She is survived by her children; Dawn Leslie Holdsworth (Edward) of Marshall, Virginia, Paul Keithley (Carolyn) of Leesburg, Virginia and Scott Keithley (Natalie) of Warrenton, Virginia; five grandchildren Grant Avery, Rachel, Brandon, Nicholas and Elise.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Donald Keithley who died on September 20, 2001 and her sister, Constance (Connie) Thurlow who died on May 8, 2006.

A private memorial and internment service will be held at a future date.

The family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to the staff of Fauquier Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center and Heartland Hospice for the loving care they gave to their mother over the last 26 months.

In remembrance and in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in her name to Heartland Hospice, 493 Blackwell Road #319, Warrenton, Virginia 20186.

She received a BA in Art and Education from Mary Washington College in 1958. In 1988, Nancy received her Masters Degree in Studio Art from New York University.

During this time, she had the great opportunity to study in Venice, Italy for two summers, Paris, France for one summer, and New York City for one summer. Nancy was a beloved art teacher for Warren County Public Schools, inspiring thousands of young people before her retirement in 1991. She received the Virginia Art Educator of the Year Award in 1988.

Nancy was very dedicated to her community. She was a member of the Blue Ridge Arts Council where she served as President from 1990-1994.

She was awarded the Arts Citizen of the Year in 1997 and at this time the Nancy R. LeHew Scholarship was created to honor Nancy’s love of arts in the community. This scholarship is given each year to two graduating seniors who display the love of art just as Nancy did. She was also a member of the Warren Heritage Society and served as President. She was a member of the Beautification Committee in Front Royal and Warren County. Nancy was also an enthusiastic member of the Warren County Garden Club, winning dozens of blue ribbons for her creative arrangements. She became a certified judge for The Virginia State Garden Club and traveled Virginia judging garden shows. Nancy served on the Town of Front Royal Board of Architectural Review.

When Nancy wasn’t volunteering, she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Nancy had a love for people and a true gift and passion for entertaining. Nancy was captivated by the beauty that surrounded her and her love for people made her the loving, gracious, creative person she was.

Leaving behind her family who dearly loved her is her husband Jon Krogsund, a son Jeffrey LeHew and wife Sondra, her daughter Wendy LeHew-Condrell and husband Dr. Bill Condrell, and five grandchildren Jay, Lindsay and Nicholas LeHew, Jade and Gray Condrell. Nancy is also survived by her sister, Barbara Carr.

A service honoring Nancy’s life will be held Sunday, February 21 at 2:00 p.m. at the Maddox Funeral Home in Front Royal, followed by a committal in the Garden at Calvary Episcopal Church and then a reception at The Blue Ridge Arts Council 305 E. Main Street in Front Royal where years of Nancy’s artwork will be displayed. Please join her family to celebrate her colorful world and the beautiful life she lived.

In lieu of flowers, you may send donations to the Blue Ridge Arts Council Nancy R. LeHew Scholarship Fund or the Calvary Episcopal Church.

Bids & Proposals

Classified The City of Manassas Engineering Department and Prince William County Department of Public Works hereby gives notice of the City’s intent to revise the flood hazard information, generally located along Observation Road in the vicinity of the Manassas Regional Airport. The flood hazard revisions are being proposed as part of Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) Case No. 20-03-1427R for a proposed project along Broad Run impacting the City of Manassas and Prince William County. The Manassas Regional Airport is proposing to relocate Observation Road as part of an effort to increase accessibility and developmental area on the west side of the airport.

Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) will decrease along Broad Run within the City of Manassas and Prince William County.

2. The SFHA will increase and decrease along Broad Run within the City of Manassas and not be revised within Prince William County.

3. No changes to the floodway boundary will occur within the City of Manassas or Prince William County.

Maps and detailed analysis of the proposed flood hazard revisions can be reviewed at the City of Manassas Engineering Department at 8500 Public Works Drive, Manassas, Virginia 20110 or the Prince William County Department of Public Works at 5 County Complex Court, Suite 170, Woodbridge, Virginia 22192.
