Since opening its doors in 2004, Battlefield High School has produced several state-champion teams and athletes in sports such as football, track, wrestling, swimming, soccer and cheerleading. Now the Haymarket school can claim a Paralympic gold medalist: Evan Nichols.

Nichols, 17, is a senior set to graduate this June. He’s also the youngest member of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team that won a gold medal in Beijing earlier this month by defeating Canada 5-0. Nichols recorded three assists against South Korea in earlier group play.

Big changes could be on the horizon for Nokesville, an unincorporated area of rural western Prince William County with about 1,300 residents.

Prince William County officials are proposing to replan nearly 2,700 acres in and around Nokesville to allow for higher housing densities, additional water and sewer lines and heavy industrial uses in an area that, for decades, has been restricted to low-density residential and agricultural uses.

Evan Nichols, 17, a Battlefield High School senior, won a gold medal at the 2022 Paralympics in Beijing. Nichols is a member of the USA Sled Hockey Team.

The Prince William County School Board has unanimously approved a $1.5 billion budget for next school year that reflects the largest increase in state and local funding since at least the Great Recession and possibly ever. But the plan relies on the state and county officials to maintain their proposed budgets, which are still under debate.

County closes vaccination sites

Mobile clinics to continue until May Staff Reports With COVID-19 cases continuing to decline locally and across Virginia, the Prince William Health District will close the community vaccination clinic at the old Gander Mountain Store in Woodbridge on Friday, March 25.

The move follows the closing of the Manassas Mall vaccination clinic and the end of the county’s COVID-19 testing effort, both of which ended on March 12.

The developments, announced in recent days, are the latest signs that pandemic metrics are improving in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park.

The Virginia Department of Health launched a free COVID-19 testing site outside Pfitzner Stadium in Woodbridge in mid-January, near the peak of a surge in cases driven by the omicron variant. Amid plummeting demand, the testing effort went mobile on Feb. 22 for a few weeks before closing altogether earlier this month.

The Manassas Mall vaccination clinic had been open since the county began administering the COVID-19 vaccine in early 2021.

The CVC at the old Gander Mountain store near the Potomac Mills Mall opened in March 2021 and then closed a few months later, in June 2021, when demand for the vaccine declined. The CVC opened again in early October 2021 when the VDH announced that all adults would soon be eligible for booster shots and

vaccinations opened for kids ages 5 to 11.

The Prince William Health District will continue to operate its mobile vaccination clinics for at least the next six weeks, into May, and then will re-evaluate the need for such efforts, according to Sean Johnson, spokesman for the Virginia Department of Health.

The county is giving out free COVID-19 testing kits at the mobile clinics, an effort that just launched this week. Up to four tests will be given to each person who requests them, Johnson said.

Testing will remain available at local pharmacies and urgent care centers. To schedule an appointment or find testing, visit the PWHD website https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/prince-william/3293-2/ or call 1-877-VAX-IN-VA, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Also, Curative is still available in Manassas,

and Manassas Park. Curative kiosks are located in Alexandria, Arlington and in the DC area. Visit the Virginia Department of Health testing locator for more information.

Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park continue to have a “low” Community COVID-19 level, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The new metric evaluates communities based on community spread of COVID-19 and the number of hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients. The CDC updates its ratings every Thursday.

NICHOLS, from page 1 Nichols began playing sled hockey at age of 10 after his close childhood friend, Alex Green, urged him to check out the sport. Green passed away at the age of 12 to cancer.

Green’s parents, Jenni and Derek, founded “Alex’s Army,” a nonprofit dedicated to helping find a cure for pediatric cancer.

Sled hockey got its start in the early 1960s by a group of Swedes who, despite their physical disabilities, wanted to continue to play hockey.

The sport doesn’t just resemble hockey; it is hockey, except that its players sit on “sleds” with custom-made buckets and hockey blades mounted on the frame. Players use their sticks to propel them forward and aft as well as pass and shoot the puck.

Nichols said he immediately fell in love with the sport, sharing: “From the first practice, when I got out there, I felt free.”

Nichols was born with arthrogryposis, a neuromuscular condition that affected both feet, both ankles and his right knee. He went through serial casting and multiple surgical procedures to enable his lower limbs to support weight so he could stand and eventually walk with a walker, his mom, Julie Wilhelmi, told the Prince William Times.

When he was 5, he experienced an unrelated condition, Leggs Calve Perthes disease, first in his left hip and then in his right hip two years later. That resulted in a separate series of surgeries.

“As a result, Evan has had to learn to walk seven times and will eventu-

ally need hip replacement surgery in both hips,” Wilhelmi said.

Nichols became interested in sled hockey after visiting MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington to watch the DC Sled Sharks, a youth sled hockey team, with his late friend, Alex.

Nichols told his parents he wanted to join. He played his first game the next Saturday, Wilhelmi said.

Nichols excelled in the sport. Prior to trying sled hockey, he was an avid athlete. He played soccer and basketball and also swam and shot archery.

When the pandemic hit, the Iceplex shut down and was slow to reopen, prompting his parents to look for other sled hockey opportunities.

They discovered that the Mighty Penguins, based in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, was the next closest team, and thus began traveling there each weekend so Nichols could continue with the sport.

Joining the Penguins, an adult sled hockey team, helped Nichols’ development, his mom said. Still, as tryouts for the 2022 U.S. National Sled Hockey Team approached, Nichols said he didn’t feel ready and chose not to attend camp.

“I didn’t think I was ready, and I

didn’t want to go there without any experience to learn off,” he said.

But Dan Brennan, general manager of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team, got word of Nichols and invited him out for a second tryout held in Madison, Wisconsin. Nichols agreed and went on to win a spot on the 17-man national team.

“It’s been a lifetime dream to get

here,” Nichols said.

A big challenge for all athletes is the transition to competing at the next level. For Nichols, it has meant juggling high school with practices and international travel.

Despite those challenges, Nichols has maintained a 3.4 GPA. He said Battlefield supported him by allowing him to attend school remotely.

Upon graduation, Nichols will attend the University of New Hampshire, where he will study business and continue playing sled hockey.

“Definitely, I would say keeping up with personal, home life and school were definitely a struggle, especially in China with the time zone changes,” he said. “My teachers gave me online assignments and allowed me to complete them when I had time, and I’ve had amazing teammates to help lead the way.”

2 initial ‘zones,’ less tax revenue, few details

What the 1st rezoning application reveals about the proposed ‘PW Digital Gateway’

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

One of the developers of a proposed new data center corridor in Western Prince William County known as the “PW Digital Gateway” has filed a rezoning application encompassing about half of the rural acres there. The move follows months of controversy over a proposed comprehensive plan change that would lay the groundwork for a massive new industrial development along Pageland Lane, adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

The rezoning application, filed Feb. 28 by QTS Data Centers, along with interviews with involved landowners, sheds new light on plans to turn a community of horse farms and 10-acre homesteads into a data center zone of up to 2,133 acres.

Here’s what we know now: Two zones – north and south – with more to come: The initial re-zoning application involves 812 of the 2,133 acres included in the comprehensive plan amendment encompassing the larger “PW Digital Gateway.” The land in the rezoning request is separated into two zones: north and south. The 12 landowners involved have agreed to sell their land, if it can be rezoned, to QTS, which owns centers in Ashburn, Manassas and Richmond.

Meanwhile, 90 other landowners with 805 acres between and adjacent to the two zones are under contract to sell their properties to Compass Datacenters of Dallas if Compass can achieve a re-zoning of their land. However, it is not yet known when Compass would file for a rezoning for their properties, according to sources close to

An email to Compass to confirm its involvement in the PW Digital Gateway was not returned this week.

An estimated $112 million in annual tax revenue: The QTS rezoning application says its north and south zones would support 7.9 million square feet of data centers to be built by 2030. If that happens, Prince William County finance department calculations suggest the annual tax income from both real estate and equipment taxes would total about $112 million.

Presumably, data centers built on the properties of the Compass group could add another $112 million in revenue if the comprehensive plan amendment and rezonings are approved. Those amounts fall far short of the $700 million prom-

ised by advocates of the new data center corridor.

Bi-County Parkway segment? The rezoning application proposes turning Pageland Lane into a four-lane road with an adjacent multi-use pathway. In this, some see a return of the long-opposed road formerly known as the “Bi-County Parkway,” which the Prince William Board of County Supervisors dropped from consideration in the ongoing comprehensive plan update on March 1.

“If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck,” said Elena Schlossberg-Kunkel, executive director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, which opposes the parkway and the data center corridor.

Re-zoning applicants, however, insist that the widened Pageland Lane would serve the data center corridor only and would not extend to Loudoun County or connect with Interstate 66 and Va. 234, as the proposed Bi-County Parkway, now known as Va. 234 Bypass Extended, is proposed to do.

Public hearings expected in late summer: A newly released timeline for the comprehensive plan amendment underlying the PW Digital Gateway shows the proposal will likely come before the Prince William County Planning Commission in June or July and then the Prince William Board of County Supervisors later in the summer.

Mary Ann Ghadban, a landowner and commercial developer who has been spearheading the PW Digital Gateway, said she believes the rezoning – a six-month process in itself – could not be approved until the comprehensive plan amendment is approved. That could push the rezoning into 2023. If both are ultimately approved, building plans, infrastructure plans and construction will further lengthen the time the project will take to come to fruition.

2 initial ‘zones,’ less tax revenue, few details REZONING, from page 3 Still vague on details: The PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment has become highly controversial, with significant opposition from county, state and federal agencies complaining of lost forest land, compromised viewsheds from Manassas Battlefield National Park and potential water pollution.

The QTS rezoning application, which is in its early stages, is thin on details about how the applicant would deal with those issues. The application says draft proffers – that is, what the developer promises to do to mitigate damages and concerns – will be submitted after consultation with the National Park Service, the Virginia Department of Forestry and the Prince William County Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, and after a review of viewshed studies.

The application does propose that its buildings

be limited to three floors, or no more than 80 feet tall, in the north zone, and to two floors in the south zone, which is closer to Manassas National Battlefield Park. In the south, there would also be 50-foot-wide buffers around the development’s perimeter plus 44 acres of forested and open space adjacent to residential areas and the park.

Applicants acknowledge lower tax revenue projections: One big selling point for the new data corridor has been the revenue it would generate.

Ghadban, who owns 55 acres, calls the proposal a “win-win” for landowners like herself and for the county’s coffers. Regarding landowners’ profits, Ghadban’s neighbor, Page Snyder, who lives on 185 acres in the south zone, said they would receive “substantially less” than the $1 million per acre seen in data center deals elsewhere – but she would not be more specific.

Citizens voicing support of the plan have latched onto predictions that a corridor with 27.6 million square feet of data center buildings – the amount the full 2,133-acre corridor could support -- would generate about $700 million a year in new tax revenue. They argue the money would provide new resources for schools and county

services and could potentially reduce real estate taxes, which could help lower-income residents.

“If we believe in equity and fairness, we need to do the right thing,” Ghadban said in a recent interview.

But an analysis by Tim Leclerc, Prince William County’s deputy finance director, predicts that at the county’s current tax rates, a full data center buildout in 20 years would generate a little more than $400 million a year. His analysis predicts that 7.8 million square feet of data centers – a number close to the 7.9 million acres included in the initial rezoning application – would generate $112.6 million in revenue.

Ghadban disputes Leclerc’s projections and said she is waiting to see the estimates in an upcoming analysis by the county’s economic development department.

But If Leclerc’s $400 million estimate is correct, she said: “Are we not happy with $400 million?” And if the $112 million prediction is correct, she said that’s OK, too.

“What else are you going to get $112 million [annual] revenue off of?” she asked. “Not a thing.”

Prince William County police receive federal funding for use-of-force study

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William County police department has received $250,000 in federal funds to hire a contractor to independently study the department’s use-of-force policies after a 2021 report found the police department disproportionately used force against Black people.

The police department released its first-ever use-of-force report in

July 2021 as part of its annual 2020 crime report. The report showed that during 2020, the department was twice as likely to use force against Black people than other races and ethnicities. At the time, Police Chief Peter Newsham said there was no clear explanation for such a disparity.

After the report’s release, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors asked the county’s con-

gressional representatives for federal funding to study the issue. On March 9, Rep. Jennifer Wexton, D-10th, announced she had secured $250,000 through congressional earmarks for Prince William County to hire an independent contractor to study the department’s use-of-force policies and data.

“I’m proud to successfully deliver this funding for the Prince William Police Department to conduct

an independent use-of-force review that will help our law enforcement better serve its community,” Wexton said. “I’ve worked closely with county and department leaders to make this priority a reality and look forward to the ways our officers will benefit from the new policies, trainings and data collection recommendations we anticipate from this study.”

Animal shelter seeks owner of 15 stray bunnies Anyone with info is asked to ‘hop to it’ and call animal control

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

The Prince William County Animal Shelter is looking for the owner of 15 domestic rabbits that were left on a vacated property in Manassas, officials said this week.

All are adult, large-breed bunnies weighing between 8 and 12 pounds.

They appear to be in relatively good health, so someone had been caring for the rabbits until recently. But who?

That’s the mystery the Prince William County animal shelter has been trying to unravel since the new owner of a Manassas property in the 7400 block of Centreville Road called after discovering the rabbits in an outdoor structure, said Anthony Cleveland, chief of Prince William County Police Department’s Animal Control Bureau Division.

Most of the rabbits were housed individually, but some were double-housed.

Animal control officers transported them to the county’s new animal shelter, said shelter manager Suzette Kapp.

The newly built shelter is nearly complete and has been housing the county’s stray and unwanted animals in its western wing since it partially opened in November 2021. The new shelter is more than 27,000 square feet – about four times the size of the old shelter, built in 1975 – and will accommodate as many as 106 cats and 56 dogs when complete.

Taking in so many rabbits at once “is an unusual occurrence, certainly,” Cleveland said.

But the rabbits are comfortable in the new shelter’s “flex room,” which was designed to house cats but can also “accommodate various types of smaller furry species, such as rabbits and guinea pigs,” Cleveland said.

All of the rabbits have been classified as strays at this time, and shelter staff posted pictures of them on their Facebook page on Thursday, March 17, in an effort to locate their owner. Per county guidelines, the shelter will hold the rabbits for 10 days while they wait for the owner to claim them, Cleveland said.

The 15 bunnies are the largest single acquisition of rabbits the shelter has had at one time in at least 10 years, Kapp said.

County statistics show that 14 rabbits have been adopted from the animal shelter since Jan. 1. In 2021, 97 rabbits were adopted from the shelter, and three more were transferred to a rabbit rescue.

During the intake inspection, it was determined the group of 15 bunnies includes three or four male rabbits with the remaining being female. The male rabbits have not been neutered, and it is unknown so far if any of the females are pregnant.

If the rabbits are not claimed by their owner when the 10 days are up,

SUBMITTED

WHAT’S UP, DOC? This rabbit is one of the 15 that were collected by Prince William County Animal Control officers from a property on Centreville Road in Manassas. The county is looking for the bunnies’ owner, officials said.

Claiming stray animals

Those who believe their pets might have been turned into the Prince William County Animal Shelter should call: 703-792-6465, email: animalshelter@pwcgov.org, or visit the shelter at 14807 Bristow Road, Manassas.

Proof of ownership is required to redeem lost pets. Owners are also asked to provide proof of a current rabies vaccination.

Lost pets may be recovered daily as early as 8 a.m., including the days the shelter is closed.

Shelter hours: Closed on Mondays. Tuesday through Friday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday: noon to 4 p.m. they will be evaluated by a veterinarian before being put up for adoption.

The shelter may have to reach out to rabbit rescue groups or even neighboring animal shelters for help in finding loving and appropriate adoptive homes for the rabbits, Kapp said.

Domestic rabbits are very social animals and require extensive care and long-term commitment because they live eight to 10 years, on average. Pet bunnies need regular mental stimulation, daily physical exercise and a healthy, varied diet of hay, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a small portion of rabbit pellets, Kapp said.

The shelter recommends that bunnies be cared for as “inside family pets.” They are easily litterbox trained with up to 95% accuracy. Rabbits get bored easily, so owners are urged to “bunny proof” their homes to prevent damage. The shelter also encourages new owners to consider adopting bunnies in pairs or groups to keep them stimulated, Kapp said.

Cleveland said the animal control bureau doesn’t have all the information about what occurred with these bunnies but hopes their owner comes forward soon. So far, no criminal charges are being pursued in connection with the bunnies, he said.

“We don’t have a lot to go on right now as to who the owner is,” Cleveland said, adding: “It is always the goal of the animal control bureau to reunite pets with their owners.”

Prince William County began updating its comprehensive plan in 2020 – the first such update since 2010. Most counties and cities have a comprehensive plan, typically updated every five years to comply with Virginia code, that acts as a guide for future development.

Why is the county considering a change?

RO

D

ER

All of Nokesville is currently within Prince William County’s “rural crescent,” a land-use designation created in 1998 that restricts housing density to one home per 10 acres, limits public sewer availability and bans most heavy industrial uses.

The comprehensive plan update would change the land-use designations in Nokesville to allow far higher residential densities than are currently allowed and create an industrial area on mostly undeveloped land between downtown Nokesville and the Fauquier County border.

Downtown Nokesville would be replanned as “Village Mixed Use,” a new designation that would allow up to four homes per acre, including townhomes, small-scale mixed-use development and public water and sewer connections in the heart of Nokesville – along Fitzwater Drive between Kettle Run Road and Aden Road – an area that encompasses nearly 500 acres.

Less than a mile away, another 580 acres of current and former farmland along both Vint Hill Road and Fitzwater Drive would be replanned as “conservation residential,” a land-use designation that is new to Prince William County. The designation allows “clustered” residential development of up to one home per two acres, served by public sewer and water lines, as long as 60% of the overall development is preserved in a conservation easement.

In all, the area proposed for “conservation residential” would allow for the construction of more than 250 homes, nearly five times the number allowed on those parcels today.

South of Nokesville, another 1,700 acres of mostly undeveloped land between Nokesville and the Fauquier County line, would be replanned for industrial uses. Nearly half the land in the area is owned by Vulcan Materials and Lehigh Cement, both producers of construction material. Vulcan Materials has owned several of the parcels since the 1960s and has tried to obtain special use permits to create a rock quarry there at least three times in the last 50 years.

The most recent attempt was in 2005, according to Washington Post reporting from that time.

Vulcan Materials Company is one of the nation’s largest producers of construction material – primarily crushed stone, sand and gravel. It operates a large rock quarry in Manassas and one in Warrenton.

Another 330 acres of land within the proposed industrial area is owned by a solar energy company and was approved for a solar facility in 2018 by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.

It has not yet been constructed.

In all, the proposed comprehensive plan update represents the most substantial land-use changes for Nokesville in decades – if not ever.

NOKESVILLE, from page 1 The proposal could potentially allow hundreds of more homes to be built in Nokesville than what is currently allowed. The changes are also sparking fears that they could revive discussions about a long-sought Vulcan rock quarry in the area.

The proposals are outlined in Prince William County’s “Pathway to 2040” comprehensive plan update, a blueprint for development in over the next two decades. The planning office’s proposal was posted for the first time in February, but it still has a long way to go before it’s adopted.

“No other community in Prince William County would be more impacted than Nokesville, according to the draft” comprehensive plan update, said Brentsville Planning Commissioner Tom Gordy. “It turns it into suburbia.”

Prince William County planners have proposed opening more than 2,000 acres in the Nokesville to make way for denser residential, commercial and industrial development.

viewing the changes, Gerhardt said the proposed industrial area on the county’s border could have an impact on traffic flowing into Fauquier and on residents who rely on well water.

A large increase in truck traffic coming into Fauquier County from Prince William County could cause “severe problems and impacts to rural areas,” Gerhardt said.

The Piedmont Environmental Council, an environmental nonprofit based in Warrenton, flagged the proposed changes as “arbitrary,” in an email to Fauquier Times.

“PEC is opposed to this land use change due to the significant impacts it would have on the [Va.] 28 corridor, surrounding residents and the agricultural economy of Nokesville,” said PEC Deputy Director of Land Use Julie Bolthouse. “As this is right on Fauquier County’s border and could require them to make costly road expansions that were never planned for, it would also be prudent for Prince William County to discuss this proposed change with Fauquier County staff and elected officials.”

So far, there is no confirmation that Vulcan Materials will seek to make another attempt to site a quarry in the area if the comprehensive plan is adopted.

Glenn Cobb, a spokesman for Vulcan Materials, said in a Monday, March 21 email the company “does not have any current plans for that site at this time.”

Residents, business owners weigh in

Schools’ budget hinges on state, county spending plans BUDGET, from page 1 The hike is fueled mostly by a nearly 20% increase in funding from the state, which is poised to deliver $121.5 more in funding to Prince William County schools next year, as well as 9.4% increase in county funding – an additional $62.3 million over the current year.

McDade will use the money to add more than 350 new positions to the school division staff. They include 88 teaching assistants for kindergarten classes – ensuring that every kindergarten class will have a teacher and an assistant – and 100 new teaching assistants for special education classes. The school division plans to also hire 35 “parent liaisons,” 30 additional security assistants, 21 new gifted education teachers, 14 new nurses and 13 career counselors for high school students, among other new positions.

McDade also dedicated $80 million to provide teachers and staff with an average pay raise of 7% and an additional $20 million to adjust the salaries of beginning and mid-level teachers. The new salary schedule has not yet been released, but some positions could see increases of as much as 10%, McDade said during the March 16 school board meeting.

School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef said the budget reflects the highest year-over-year increase in state and local revenue in recent memory.

“This is the highest I’ve seen for sure in five years,” Lateef said during an interview on Thursday, March 17. “From the state side, I think this might be the highest increase ever.”

The nearly 20% increase in state funding is the result of the state’s $2 billion budget surplus as well as former governor Ralph Northam’s budget, which made significant funding increases to K-12 schools. Northam wrote the budget before leaving office.

Now, the Virginia General Assembly’s budget negotiators are hashing out differences between the House and Senate budgets ahead of special session, the date of which has FORCE, from page 4 The Prince William County police department issued a press release on Monday, March 21, with additional information about the study.

“We are grateful for this opportunity to further explore and better understand the data and the impact of our use-of-force policies,” Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham said in the statement.

“This research will undoubtedly be a great benefit to the community and the department.”

The contractor will be asked to assess, evaluate and analyze the department’s use-of-force policies, training programs, police culture, supervision, de-escalation strategies and tactics, according to the press release. The contractor will then recommend what adjustments may be needed in existing use-of-force policies and training programs.

not yet been set. State lawmakers adjourned their regular, 60-day session last Saturday, March 12.

The chief difference between the budget passed by the state House, which has a Republican majority, and the state Senate, which is still controlled by Democrats, is tax cuts.

The House budget contains Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s effort to double the standard deduction on personal income taxes and cut the state’s tax on groceries. The Senate budget does not double the standard deduction and cuts the 2.5% grocery tax to 1%, maintaining the portion that goes to localities. Lateef said the school division’s budget could take a hit of about $50 million under the leanest version of the state budget.

Meanwhile, the school division’s spending plan also relies on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors passing both its advertised real estate officers using force remains a critical issue in communities worthy of exploring deeper to ensure the force used is lawful and not unjustly disproportionately used against members in our communities of color,” the press release said.

There is currently no start or finish date set for the study because the police department only received funding approval on March 11, Police spokesman 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok told Prince William Times. Perok said an independent contractor needs to be selected before they set a timeline.

Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler, D-at-large, said in the press release she is “excited to bring our police department even further expertise and knowledge to enhance its already stellar accreditation and engagement with the public.”

tax rate of $1.05 per $100 in assessed valuation as well as the proposed new 4% meals tax, an item that drew criticism during a recent public hearing.

The real estate tax rate is 6 cents less than the current real estate tax rate of $1.11, but real estate tax bills are still expected to rise an average of $233 over last year because property values have risen an average 11%.

Lateef said he’s not worried about the Prince William Board of County Supervisors coming through with the necessary tax rates to keep the school division budget whole.

“I’m very confident the board of supervisors understands where we are and what we need,” Lateef said.

“We’ve been working very closely with them.”

Regarding the new positions, Lateef said they align with the school division’s new strategic plan and reflect McDade’s efforts to standardize certain staffing levels across the school division that had previously been left to school principals’ discretion under site-based management.

As an example, Lateef cited teaching assistants for kindergarten classes, which some schools have, and some do not. Lateef said the school board considers the assistants an investment in early childhood education that will pay off down the road.

“It was something the kindergarten teachers said they want,” he said.

“What we’re trying to do is bring more consistency across the board.”

Whether the school division will fill all the new positions is another question. There are currently more than 900 vacant positions listed on the school division’s website. In fact, the vacancies helped fund some of the new spending.

The budget indicates a transfer of $20 million in “vacancy savings” from the current year that will be used to help fund new positions.

During the March 16 school board meeting, Lateef praised the budget but also sought to temper expectations with a warning that the budget relies on the budget negotiations of the state legislature as well as Youngkin’s support.

“He claims to have won on education; he claims to be committed to improving education, so I expect him to put his money where his mouth is,” Lateef said of the new governor during an interview Thursday. “What I expect is a record budget for the state’s public schools.”

Lateef will present the school board’s budget to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Tuesday, April 5. The supervisors are expected to take a final vote on the budget for fiscal year 2023, which begins July 1, on Tuesday, April 26.

The supervisors will hold a second public hearing on the budget on Tuesday, April 12, and will “mark up” the budget – by considering changes to the spending plan or tax rates – on Tuesday, April 19.

Police identify human remains as belonging to 54-year-old Manassas man Human remains found near a retaining pond outside Manassas Sunday are believed to be those of a 54-year-old man who took his own life, Prince William County police said Tuesday.

On Sunday, March 20, a person walking near the pond, located near Wellington Road and Lexington Valley Drive, discovered some bones, which were later determined to be human, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman.

Police launched an investigation

into the area on Monday. On Tuesday, the department said the remains like belonged to the Manassas man, who was not named. The identity of the deceased is pending official confirmation through further scientific analysis by the Medical Examiner’s Office, Carr said in a news release.

“At this time, the manner of death appears to be suicide based on additional remains and evidence located at the scene,” the release said.

More information will be released when available, Carr said.

Dumfries man charged after road rage incident involving pepper spray A 53-year-old Dumfries man is out on bond after what police are calling a “road rage” incident during which a fellow driver was hit with pepper spray in Southbridge.

Police responded to the intersection of Chogburn Lane and Wayside Drive in Southbridge at 3:25 p.m. on Thursday, March 17, and determined the victim, identified as a 41-yearold man, was driving in the area when he and another driver were involved in an angry exchange, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, Prince William County police spokeswoman.

During the incident, one driver sprayed the other with pepper spray

before fleeing the scene. While investigating, officers were told the suspect had driven to the Eastern District Police Station, where he was taken into custody without incident, Carr said in a news release.

Rescue responded and treated the victim at the scene for minor injuries, the release said.

Brian Curtis Stamps, 53, of the 17000 block of Oyster Bay Court, in Dumfries, was arrested and charged with malicious wounding by a caustic substance in connection with the incident. Smith was released on a $3,000 unsecured bond ahead of a March 31 court date, the release said.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | May 9, 2019

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

School board chair should do his homework on rural area data centers I’m not surprised that our school board chairman decided to endorse the Prince William Digital Gateway.

After all the shameless lobbying he has endured, I’m amazed he didn’t name a high school after it. I just wish he had employed the critical thinking he expects of his students.

Prince William County’s revenue sharing agreement provides 57% of general revenue to the school system. Everyone supports generating more revenue for our schools, but there are more prudent options for doing so.

Opponents of the Prince William Digital Gateway have argued for months that the choice is not between developing data centers and forgoing that revenue. Rather, the debate is about the most appropriate LOCATION for the data centers. Sandwiching a 2,133-acre industrial corridor on agricultural land between a national park and a state forest is not a prudent exercise in civic planning. Such a bonehead-

ed idea would certainly earn any student an “F.” There is ample suitable land remaining for data center development in the existing overlay district. The fallacy that there isn’t is repeatedly advanced by those who selfishly want to drive development toward their own properties.

The Prince William County Finance Department recently reviewed the economic benefits claimed by this proposal’s applicant and found them to be grossly exaggerated. Building out the existing overlay district would yield greater net benefits without causing extensive environmental damage and understandable citizen outcry.

Dr. Lateef should study harder before speaking out on a subject on which he has so obviously not done his homework.

WILLIAM WRIGHT Gainesville

Figure out the data centers’ net revenue before approving more It is amazing that a county that already has more than 30 operating data centers struggles with accurately projecting the net revenue from an additional potential 175 data centers. With the projected additional 27 million square feet proposed in the PW Digital Gateway project, it is possible to add an additional 175 data centers. The reality is, once it starts, it will not stop — it is not outside the realm of possibility.

The comprehensive plan amendment sought by the PW Digital Gateway’s backers proposes expanding the county’s existing, partially developed “Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District” to an area that includes the watershed for our region’s clean drinking water and an area that abuts a national park — the Manassas Battlefield — hallowed ground.

There are several things wrong with the project. Why can’t Prince William County rely on its past practices to accurately determine the net revenue from data centers?

Doesn’t it have experience with net revenue already? It’s a mystery!

Shouldn’t it be realizing net revenue from some, if not all, of the existing data centers?

Further, it seems to want to emulate Loudoun County and proliferate the county with data centers on every corner and on every tree-lined green space. If that is so

important to Prince William County, should it not reach across county lines and look at the net revenue results in Loudoun County?

We have recently seen reports that the projected net revenue does not hold over time, given the depreciation of the data center resources.

Prince William should seek advice from its own county experience and also others to give the county a more reasonable expectation of net revenue from data centers. That outreach will provide additional information and will provide a reality that the projected net revenue is not what it seems.

Further, it will take many years for the net revenue to become available. That is, it takes years from “shovel in the ground” to full development/implementation before the county will see a dime, that is, a conservative projection of 5 years before any net revenue is realized.

Supporters of the PW Digital Gateway propose that net revenue will “save the schools.” How much of current net revenue from the 30-plus data centers is enhancing school budgets? Where is the reality that net revenue will be much less than projected and will take significantly longer to realize and will NOT go the schools?

Mental health crisis receiving center promises a better future I am writing in response to the article, “Prince William County officials firm up plans for ‘crisis receiving center,” published in your newspaper on March 9. Giving the general public greater access to mental health care will be a big help to our community. The center will grant lower-income individuals a chance to receive treatment and care that would otherwise be unattainable with their insurance or lack thereof.

Having access to better mental health resources will allow the individuals of this community to get back in touch with themselves and the community around them.

Without proper access, people isolate themselves and internalize their problems, believing only they understand. Given the opportunity to have a professional to talk to will allow them to come to terms with the reality of their situations.

Many individuals in this community face similar issues. They may seem so personal at the moment but are a reality for you and many of your neighbors. The center will inspire change, healing and growth throughout the community, leading to a possibly brighter future for us all.

Expungement clinic worth promoting Regarding the recently published, “Dumfries Town Council members to host first-ever expungement clinic.” I commend the reporting on this as this is incredibly important to people who have lacked this opportunity prior.

Some would condemn those who need expungement as criminals or only one step away from them. But given that the necessity of expungement is widespread, it is hard to think of it solely as an individual problem.

Since it is affecting such a large portion of the population, it cannot be seen entirely as a personal failure, and I appreciate how this expungement

clinic offers pervasive solutions.

Furthermore, this is important for the Prince William County area because the place where you live will shape your opportunities. This clinic gives those who are unable to or lack the resources to find expungement clinics outside of their area a chance to lead more enriching lives for their families, their occupations and themselves.

For these reasons, I am truly grateful for your promotion of this.

I genuinely think this will help a lot of people.

Think of future generations before putting data centers in the rural crescent The rural crescent should be left alone and preserved. I agree with the fact that bringing data centers into rural crescent will affect the environment, especially because there will be more concrete, which causes runoff from rain which then can lead to floods.

The runoff can then contaminate rivers and water in surrounding areas. Also, not a lot of people want to

live near data centers because they are not pleasing to the eye.

Putting data centers into the rural crescent should be taken seriously because it is important to think about the future generations and how our decisions will then impact them directly.

Nothing says love like homemade lasagna

By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer

A cancer diagnosis.

A family who has just lost a family member and is struggling.

Someone who is getting ready to go into surgery or has just had surgery.

A woman who has just had a baby.

People who have lost their jobs because of COVID-19, or families who are suffering from COVID-19 and are quarantined.

There are lots of reasons why someone could need a hot meal – one they don’t have to cook. Lasagna Love is there to help, and it doesn’t require families to provide proof of financial hardship. Anyone who needs a lasagna can request one.

Lasagna Love was started by mom blogger Rhiannon Menn during the early days of the pandemic. She first asked her mom followers if they would be willing to make a lasagna for a neighbor in need.

“It went from ‘a moms helping moms group’ to ‘a neighbors helping neighbors’ group,” said Megan Gotimer, Lasagna Love’s regional director for Virginia, Washington, D.C., North Carolina and Puerto Rico.

The nonprofit Lasagna Love, with its 25,000 volunteers, is now operating across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Australia and Canada, delivering more than 150,000 lasagnas made by volunteer chefs to families in their communities.

In Virginia, there have been 8,590 deliveries by 1,700 volunteer chefs.

Of that number, about 257 were delivered in parts of Prince William County. Lasagna Love divides the state into regions that often cross county lines, Gotimer said.

“I very much believe in this organization,” Gotimer said. “It’s about helping people who are in your direct community and people who many not regularly ask for help, even if [they] are just having a hard time right now.

“It’s not overly hard to be kind to people. It’s ‘Here’s a meal. Here’s listening to your story,’” she added.

“That piece of kindness resonates with people. It doesn’t just impact the recipients of the meals, but those who make them.”

Lasagna Love volunteer chefs delivered lasagnas for Mother’s Day last year to the East End Mobile Home Park in Manassas.

Lasagna Love regional leader Karyn Cram, right, with East End Mobile Home Park Community Liaison Helen Zurita, left. Cram brought lasagna to East End Mobile Home Park for a Mother’s Day celebration in 2021.

Lasagna Love volunteer chef Nadia Wasef, of Manassas Park, said making a lasagna for a neighbor feels more personal than sending money to a charity.

“For me, it’s an eye-opening program that actually helps people in our own community,” Wasef said.

“I know these roads. I know these neighborhoods. I may not know the person specifically, but you’re so homed into your personal community, so in a sense you know who you are helping.”

“It’s rewarding,” she added. “This person really needed it, and I was able to do that for them.”

For someone who likes to cook, making a lasagna isn’t a big deal, Wasef said. But making one for a family who needs it is “the best.”

Mallory Massey, a volunteer chef from Bristow, said she discovered Lasagna Love while watching a morning news show in the middle of the COVID pandemic that highlighted the struggles families were facing and what a difference a hot meal could make. She decided to get involved.

“It was an opportunity that I could work around my schedule as a full-time employee with three kids and still help folks who are suffering,” she said.

From single parents to families coping with COVID who are tired of Door Dash meals, “This is a small, simple thing to do for folks in your area,” Massey said.

Many, when they get back on their feet, decide to become volun-

Mallory Massey, a Lasagna Love chef from Bristow, cooked up a couple of lasagnas for recent deliveries. teer chefs. It’s giving back in a circle, which the chefs say is a beautiful thing to see.

“You never know what is going on behind closed doors. Every family has their own challenges and things they are trying to work through,” Massey said. “Some people are just barely getting by, emotionally, physically, financially. We get that.”

Massey gets her children involved in the baking and delivery of the lasagnas. “They get what we are doing,” she said. “It’s a really lovely experience to be a part of.”

Karyn Cram is a regional Lasagna Love leader who coordinates 15 chefs in the greater Manassas area.

She also has four others who are taking a temporary break from cooking.

All of the volunteer chefs donate the ingredients for the lasagnas they make. Collectively, the greater Manassas-area chefs make an average of 25 lasagnas a week, but it’s been as high as 80 and as few as 10. The chefs decide how many dishes they make and how often they make them. Recipients can request to have their lasagnas delivered hot and ready to eat, ready to reheat or frozen, Cram said.

Some chefs will accept requests from recipients who have allergies or dietary restrictions. Some will also offer to make something aside from lasagna, such as macaroni and cheese or chicken and rice.

In addition to making the lasagnas for families, Lasagna Love has also baked for fire departments, the USO on Veterans’ Day and for other mothers on Mother’s Day. Last May, the group made 35 lasagnas for moms and families at East End Mobile Home Park in Manassas.

Families at the mobile home park have endured a stressful few years.

The park was nearly shut down because of its faulty sewer system but was ultimately purchased by Catholics for Housing, which fixed the leaking sewers and kept more than 250 adults and kids from being evicted.

Cram said recipients often share stories of hard times.

“It really does run the gamut of people who are struggling,” Cram.

Cram described the stories and the expression of thanks from those requesting meals “as very heartbreaking but uplifting.”

“Just about every reason you can imagine for your next-door neighbor to be in need of a meal, we see those,” she said.

THE PING OF SPRING The Prince William Times previews high school baseball teams

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

High school baseball began last week in Prince William County.

Around the area, pitchers are trying to miss hitters’ bats, while batters try to hit ‘em where they ain’t.

Six ballclubs – Brentsville, Battlefield, Patriot, Forest Park, Potomac, and Colgan – look to return to the regional tournament, while the Colgan Sharks were two runs away

COLGAN

-Coach: Mike Colangelo (6th year) -District/2021 record: Cedar Run/15-1 (Class 6 runner-up) -Twitter: @Colgan_Baseball -Web: ColganSharkAthletics.org -Ace arms: Connor Knox, Ryan Kennedy, Brandon Cassedy, Brett Renfrow, Christian Abney, Matthew Westley -Best bats: Brett Renfrow, Ryan Kennedy, Jae’dan Carter, Matthew Westley, Evan Blanchard, Brandon Cassedy -Coach’s take: The Sharks announced themselves as region powerhouse last year, going undefeated until a toe-to-toe showdown on the road versus Madison in the state title game.

in their hunt for a first-ever state championship.

The Gainesville Cardinals introduce themselves to the Cedar Run District, while Unity Reed, GarField, Manassas Park, Woodbridge, Osbourn, and Osbourn Park look to increase their win totals. Freedom High School is not fielding a baseball team this season.

After playing a reduced schedule and compressed postseason last spring, the Virginia High School League is back to a full 20-game complement and standard playoff rules.

A look at who could shine on the diamond this spring: The Sharks lost 2-1, but are back for some unfinished business.

“In order to win the district we will need to pitch to our ability and continue to average 8 to 10 stolen bases a game,” coach Mike Colangelo said. “We are a tough team to play against because they know we are going to run.”

The head coach and former MLB player said he looks forward to the journey with his players.

“Our staff will define success in one factor: Do we get these players better?” he said. “I’ve always felt championships are worth one great day, but enjoying these young men and giving them a great journey is way more enjoyable.

In the end, if you happen to win, then awesome.”

BRENTSVILLE

-Coach: Brian Knight (15th year) -District/2021 record: Northwestern/8-7 (Region 3B runner-up) -Twitter: @BaseballBDHS -Web: sites.google.com/view/brentsville-district/spring-sports/baseball -Ace arms: Brayden Hutchison, Charlie Monfort, Coleson Russell, JJ Hand -Best bats: Donavan Boles, Benjy Cardone, Johnny Daly, Austin Harris, Wyatt Dye, Owen Winters, J.J. Hand -Coach’s take: The Tigers lost 11 seniors to graduation and one pitcher, John Farrell, to Tommy John surgery, so former JV players need to step up. Brayden Hutchison is the only returning pitcher and one of just five Tigers back on varsity.

After falling in the region title game to Independence, which is normally good enough to make states, but not under last year’s pandemic-adjusted rules, Brian Knight is challenging his young team with larger schools early on.

“We are looking forward to watching this young team grow and improve as the season progresses,” coach Brian said. “The staff is very happy with the way the defense is playing at this point in the season. It will be fun watching them gain confidence in themselves at the plate and on the mound.”

GAINESVILLE

-Coach: John Miller (1st year) -District: Cedar Run -Twitter: @GHS_Cardinals -Web: GainesvilleCardinals.com -Ace arms: Caden Merritt, Ryan Petro, Lucas Marrero, Colin Miller, Carson Cates, Owen Potts -Best bats: Jeremy Hayden, Kadin Campo, JW Kohlmeyer, Owen Potts, Caden Merritt -Coach’s take: Don’t think of Gainesville as an ordinary first-year program.

Despite a roster with just two juniors, the Cardinals are looking to compete now.

They won their first-ever game, beating Osbourn Park 7-1 on Tuesday behind hard-throwing righty Caden Merritt and strike-throwing lefty Lucas Marrero.

Ryan Petro is another lefty who’ll be counted on to eat innings.

Offensively, Jeremy Hayden is a lefty swinger with good pop, and Kadin Campo brings power and speed. JW Kohlmeyer is a “high-ceiling” shortstop with a line-drive swing. Owen Potts is a big 6-2 lefty who’s a threat on the mound and in the batter’s box.

“Our team looks to be extremely fast and aggressive on the base paths this year,” coach John Miller said. “Campo and Merritt can absolutely fly. Adding Hayden, Kohlmeyer, and Cates to the mix, we should cover a lot of ground.”

As a first-year program, the Cardinals are laden with guys around the same age.

That means competition for playing time.

“Which is fantastic for a young program, and we will look to make that a cornerstone of Gainesville baseball,” Miller said.

BATTLEFIELD

-Coach: Jay Burkhart (11th year) -District/2021 record: Cedar Run/14-2 (Region 6B runner-up) -Twitter: @GoBHSBaseball -Web: BobcatsPride.org -Ace arms: Carson Estridge, Jack Robinson, Sammy Michel -Best bats: Carson Estridge, Carson Cho, Kehler Hamilton, JP Williams, Cooper Harris -Coach’s take: Battlefield brings college-level talent to the mound, as hard-throwing Carson Estridge (who hits 95 mph) is bound for West Virginia University while Jack Robinson (who can get to 88 mph) will play for Roanoke College.

Star catcher J.P. Williams has committed to George Mason University.

They’ll rely on those two righties and freshman lefty Sammy Michel to try to storm into states, where coach Jay Burkhart says they should have been last year.

“We got beat out in the regional final by Colgan 6-2. It’s normally good enough to make states, but not under modified COVID rules,” he lamented.

At bat, Estridge looks to repeat his .500+ average from last year. Williams will also be a big piece of the offense, along with speedy (11 stolen bases last year) Kehler Hamilton.

Burkhart noted his overall team speed, saying the Bobcats can surpass their 62 stolen bases from last year.

“This potential of putting pressure on defenses and setting us up to score on base hits will be a big part of success,” he said.

WOODBRIDGE

-Coach: Ryan Smith (1st year) -District/ 2021 record: Cardinal/5-7 -Twitter: @WdbgBaseball -Web: woodbridgehs.rschoolteams.com -Ace arms: Ethan Goodbody, Luke Pietrandrea, Bryson Matsuda, Aiden Ward, Aiden Ellerts, Braeden Cooch, James Yoho -Best bats: Ethan York -Coach’s take: Pitching, the Vikings have. It’s the bats that lack. Ethan York returns for his senior season as Woodbridge’s top stick, but coach Ryan Smith wants the rest of the team to add aggression in the batter’s box.

“Our goal is to ensure our players have an approach prior to stepping into the batter’s box,” said Smith, who emphasizes situational hitting. So far in scrimmages, he’s seeing fewer called third strikes.

On the mound, the Vikings are loaded. Lefty Luke Pietrandrea and righty Ethan Goodbody anchor the staff after posting sub-2.00 ERAs last year. Senior Bryson Matsuda is back after missing last year due to injury.

With a new coaching staff featuring just one returning assistant, Smith is looking for his team to pick up momentum and finish top-three in the district.

“These young men are hungry to win and are willing to try new approaches, which has been a key to these early improvements,” Smith said.

FOREST PARK

-Coach: Steve Denard (8th year) -District/2021 record: Cardinal/6-6 (Region 6B quarterfinal) -Twitter: @BruinBaseballFP -Web: forestparkhs.rschoolteams.com -Ace arms: Andrew Cheripka, Jack Pokorak -Best bats: Jack Pokorak, Sean Pokorak, Owen Frye -Coach’s take: Experience is the X-factor for Forest Park this year.

Coach Steve Denard, who has 18

seasons as a program helmsman, expects his Bruins to improve on last year’s region quarterfinal showing.

Jack Pokorak is back after hitting .531 last year, along with brothers Sean and Owen Frye. Jack Pokorak and Andrew Cheripka return to anchor the pitching staff.

“Our success depends on our offense consistency in providing run support, and our defense support of their pitchers being fundamentally sound,” Denard said.

back to Manassas Park baseball.

He was MP’s head coach in 2010 when the Cougars were district champions. Now he returns to take over a program that has been dormant for two years - and wasn’t doing much winning before that.

“I’ve come back trying to build baseball back up,” Campbell said.

He’s doing so with a young group of pitchers led by senior Alex Bunner, a soft-tossing lefty with a

Covington’s JV coach.

“I realize I have big shoes to fill replacing Coach Cov,” Blanton said. “My vision is to maintain the high standards of our baseball program he established over the years.”

Potomac has 11 seniors including Matt Drumgold and Carlos Carvallo, who can hit and pitch.

“What stands out to me about the team is our pitching staff and the team’s resiliency to go after the win,” the coach said. “Also, the development of our younger players to replace the outgoing seniors.” to continue improving throughout the season,” coach Kenny Miller said.

Gar-Field will be led by returning righty pitchers Rahsaan and Ryheam Mack, junior and sophomore respectively. Both throw in the 80s.

Righty Nick Porter is also back.

At the plate, Rahsaan Mack is a tablesetter with power, Anderson Carranza has speed and Caleb Robinson pop.

“We are defining success by getting better every day,” Miller said. “We believe that if we keep our focus there, we will start to get the wins that we believe we can achieve.”

nice curveball and good control. Brothers Ben and Victor Knuckles are versatile ballplayers who can play anywhere, including pitcher. Trent Stuart patrols center field.

Junior Tyler Martin could turn out to be the Cougars’ most talented player, Campbell said. “He catches, he pitches, he can play shortstop, he’s got a good bat, strong arm, and he likes competition,” Campbell said.

“Overall, we are young,” he said. “Six freshmen. We’ll continue to develop our players and compete,” Ritenour said.

Already, he sees mental toughness and team leadership.

“I would describe our players as gritty but disciplined,” he said, singling out seniors Ernie Gonzalez, Derek Reece, and Kyle Romano. “Anything less than 100% effort is unacceptable.”

Versatility is the theme of the Lions’ roster, as “just about every starter can play two or three different positions extremely well,” Cowen said.

Lefty junior Zach Rhodes will be an innings-eater, complemented by hard-throwing righty freshman Alex Bonfadini. Both are regulars when not pitching.

Catcher Tyler Hruska steps up to compete for the starting role, while Tim and Selwyn Rio are great with the glove.

Barbara S. Yates (Bobbi) Barbara S. Yates (Bobbi), a resident of Warrenton, VA since 1969, passed away on March 11, 2022 at Lake Manassas Health & Rehabilitation Center, following complications from a stroke she suffered on February 28. She was 83 years old. She was born in Alexandria, VA on November 19, 1938. She was the daughter of Rose L. and Albert L. Sanchez of Alexandria, VA.

Yates of Nashville, TN and four nieces.

Bobbi and Phil were raised in Alexandria, VA and both graduated George Washington High School in 1957. They started dating in 1955.

They were married in Alexandria on June 8, 1958. Immediately after their honeymoon they moved to Charlottesville, VA where Phil had just completed his first year at UVA. For the next four years, Bobbi worked full time at HEW and then at the Army JAG school while Phil worked part time to enable him to complete his five-year program for a BCP degree.

Bobbi also served as secretary for the UVA Honor Society for several years. They had their first 2 sons, Mike and Mitch, in Charlottesville while Phil was still in school. Somehow they made it all work.

Upon graduation from UVA in 1962, they moved back to Alexandria, lived in Park Fairfax for several years and then purchased a home in Braddock Heights. They moved to Warrenton in 1969 and built a home that is still their residence today.

She also loved her pets, dancing and several cruise trips to Bermuda with Phil and friends.

In her later years, Bobbi suffered severe back, leg and feet pain. She had several major operations, but despite the pain she remained the same beautiful person she always was.

Bobbi was respected and loved by many friends and relatives. She had a caring nature, a friendly manner and a beautiful smile. She was a very compassionate person who will be missed by all who knew her. A Mother’s Day card created by her sons succinctly summed up her character as – Amazing, Lovely, Beautiful, Happy, Devoted, Adored.

Woodrow “Woody” Thomas Dykes Woodrow “Woody” Thomas Dykes, born December 6, 1942 in Wichita KS died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Lexington on March 11, 2022 at the age of 79.

Throughout his life he was a stellar athlete earning a scholarship at Wichita State for gymnastics, while holding the State of Kansas diving record for many years. He competed at the 1964 Olympic Trials in diving, beating many of the competitors and only narrowly missing a spot on the Olympic team.

Woody moved to Virginia in 1970 and became the Director of Park Authority of Prince William County. A lifelong self-starter, he owned businesses ranging from a homemade leather working shop, sporting goods stores, to video game arcades. His most memorable endeavor was the decades he spent as a Federal Firearms Dealer and Antique Firearms Historian. It was through this venture that he made friends from across the country and around the world.

As an avid outdoorsman, he loved to fish in the streams, lakes, and rivers from Lexington, VA to the western states, and in the deep blue waters of the Sea of Cortez, off Los Barriles, Mexico.

Woody loved life and adventures, he always found the good in any situation, his smile was infectious, he always had a story or joke to share, and he welcomed everyone to a seat at his table.

He is preceded in death by his parents Wilbur T. Dykes and Doris E. Dykes; brother Robert Michael Dykes.

He is survived by, his partner of 29 years, Sheryl Carls of Lexington VA; sisters Barbara Vaughn of Portland OR and Lucinda (Steve Rusan) Dykes of Cottage Grove OR; son Travis (Michelle) W. Dykes of Potomac Falls VA; grandchildren Grace, Ani and Elizabeth (his “Liz”) Dykes of Potomac Falls VA. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to a charity of your choice.
