Unity Reed H.S. celebrates its new name, new look

By Anya Sczerzenie Contributing Writer

Unity Reed High School, formerly known as Stonewall Jackson High School, held a ceremony celebrating its new name last week that came about a year and a half after the school was officially renamed in August 2020.

The Manassas high school was renamed after Arthur Reed, a much-beloved school security guard who died in 2018 at age 70.

The new name was approved by the high school’s student body ahead of a unanimous vote from the Prince William County School Board on June 29, 2020.

The word “Unity” was added to the school’s new name to evoke a sense of togetherness, as well as match Unity Braxton Middle School, which was renamed at the See UNITY REED, page 6

NOVA ‘food rescue’ expands its reach FOOD RESCUE, from page 1 That means more food is being rescued and distributed to people who need it all over the region. To tell the story, a large-scale custom mural was unveiled this week that highlights both the organization’s challenges and successes.

The former Prince William Food Rescue launched in August 2019 as a program of the nonprofit Action in the Community Through Service, better known as ACTS, said Aaron Tolson, the program’s chief executive officer.

The goal of Northern Virginia Food Rescue is to keep healthy food out of the trash and deliver it to those who need it. To do that, NVFR uses a computer app to connect unwanted food with volunteers, known as “food rescue heroes,” who make pickups from stores and restaurants and deliver food to local organizations that serve food-insecure communities.

PWFR hoped to rescue 200,000 pounds of food in its first year but surpassed that goal in just five months. Then “a pandemic hit that drove food insecurity through the roof,” Tolson said.

During the height of the pandemic, PWFR moved about 2 million pounds of food to hungry residents each month through its partnerships with local governments, food banks, nonprofits and other community groups. The effort involved more

than 800 different volunteers who collectively completed thousands of rescues and deliveries every month.

At the same time, PWFR identified similar needs in neighboring communities, which drove the decision to expand the nonprofit’s service beyond greater Prince William.

County ARPA money funds new warehouse

NVFR also formed a relationship with Prince William County’s Office of Emergency Management, which helped the nonprofit secure $2.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds. Some of the funds are being used to lease the much-needed larger warehouse located off of Interstate 66 and Va. 234 Business, behind the Cracker Barrel Restaurant.

The ARPA funds will cover three years of lease payments on the new warehouse, which the organization moved into this past January. The

new building allows NVFR to receive much larger quantities of bulk food donations which can then be distributed to its food pantry partners, Tolson said.

NVFR expanded to Fairfax County last November and has plans to add Fauquier County in the near future, Tolson said.

Redesigned app

The backbone of the food rescue operation is its custom food rescue app.

“It allows us to track where the food’s coming from and where it’s going and to mobilize volunteers to pick up the food and move it,” Tolson said.

But the original version was limited in its capabilities because it was not expandable, he said.

NVFR approached 412 Food Rescue in Pittsburgh, which built the app and asked them to redesign it.

They “built an entirely new app for us that’s multi-county because we needed an app that could grow with the model that we we’ve developed,” he said, adding: “It doesn’t exist anywhere else in the United States that I am aware of.”

Because NVFR volunteers come through the new warehouse every day, Tolson said he and his team wanted to create a mural that would tell the story of both food insecurity and food rescue as both a way to educate and inspire.

Tolson reached out to artist Tonia Chalkoholic, whose legal name is Tonia Crawford, to make it a reality.

Crawford collaborated with Tolson to develop the concept. Then, she and her mural partner Michael Sikes painted it – a project that took more than 100 hours. It is one of the largest

murals she has ever painted, she said.

“You can even see the mural from the parking lot. The second you pull in you see giant fruits and vegetables” through the glass front doors.

“So it’s definitely eye catching,” Chalkoholic said.

“I think that they’ve done a great job coming up with a mural that shows the problem, but also the solution and what that looks like visually represented on a wall,” Tolson said.

“As people come here, they can see [the mural] and they can be educated on what they’re doing to support the reduction of food waste and food insecurity in our community, but also [it] hopefully is a little bit of an inspiration.”

Chalkoholic said she was honored to create the mural and said her eyes were really opened to the enormity of the food waste problem when she saw the volume of rescued food coming in and out of the warehouse on a daily basis.

“It’s mind-blowing, the food that is wasted,” she said. “I immediately downloaded the app.”

Judge rules some schools can require masks to protect high-risk kids

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

A federal judge ruled March 23 in favor of 12 parents of students with disabilities that put them at a high risk for complications due to COVID-19. But the ruling is limited in scope to only the plaintiffs involved in the case. Their lawyer, however, says the decision will likely be “persuasive” for other parents seeking similar accommodations for their children with disabilities.

Judge Norman K. Moon of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia granted the parents’ request for a temporary injunction.

The decision allows them to make individualized requests that their kids’ classmates mask as a reasonable modification under federal law until a final decision in the litigation is issued.

The case has been pending since Feb. 1, when Manassas mom Tasha Nelson, whose 10-year-old son Jack has cystic fibrosis, and 11 other Virginia parents initially filed suit against Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and his administration to challenge Executive Order 2 and Senate Bill 739, both of which effectively ban mask-mandates in Virginia’s public schools.

The plaintiff parents assert that those policies violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act -- federal laws that say public schools cannot exclude students with disabilities

or deny them equal access to their education. The laws also require public schools to provide reasonable modifications to allow students with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from their public education.

As part of their lawsuit, the parents sought immediate relief in the form of a temporary injunction that would allow them to ask their children’s schools to require masks of their children’s classmates as a reasonable modification that would allow them to stay safe at school.

Judge Moon granted the parents’ requested relief, writing in his ruling that both the ADA and Section 504 afford the plaintiff parents “a right to request a reasonable modification from state or local laws.”

The judge also held that Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) and the Youngkin administration may not enforce EO 2 and SB739 to “prevent or limit the plaintiffs’ schools or school districts from considering … whether the plaintiffs’ individualized requests for masking constitute a reasonable modification under federal law.”

Eve Hill, a partner at Brown Goldstein & Levy and one of the nation’s leading disability rights attorneys who argued on behalf of the plaintiffs at the hearing, said she was “heartened” by the ruling.

“I thought he got it right. He gave us exactly what we asked for and what we were entitled to,” she said.

Nelson said she was relieved and emotional when she heard the ruling was in her son’s favor.

“My words are failing me. I am just so relieved,” Nelson said.

Waiting for the ruling has been very difficult because the state rules made it impossible for her son’s school, Jennie Dean Elementary, to accommodate Jack’s need to be protected from exposure to COVID-19, Nelson said. Now, she will go to Jack’s individual health plan meeting at the school with the judge’s ruling in hand, she said.

Nelson said she is hoping the final ruling will grant other parents the same power.

“I’m so relieved that parents of disabled children in Virginia now have a tool to point to when requesting ADA accommodations for their high-risk children,” Nelson said. “I’m confident we will prevail in our larger case against EO 2 and SB 739, as they discriminate against children with disabilities and create barriers to their access to equitable education.”

Miyares issued a brief statement highlighting a portion of Judge Moon’s ruling acknowledging that EO 2 and SB 739 “remain in force in Virginia.” But Miyares’ statement ignored the meat of the ruling in plaintiffs’ favor, which says that the 12 plaintiffs may now request their schools to consider requiring masking their classmates as an ADA accommodation and the schools can

Tasha Nelson and her son Jack, 10, of Manassas. choose to oblige if necessary.

The ruling is a loss for the Youngkin administration, which has taken the position throughout litigation of this case that masking is not a reasonable accommodation for any student in any situation.

Despite the fact Moon limited his ruling to only the kids and schools involved in this case, Hill pointed out that while not binding, the decision is “persuasive for other kids.” She explained that “other kids who also need masking can take this opinion to their school districts and say, ‘If I sued, you would end up in the same place that these school districts did.’ And then the school district may be persuaded by that.”

The 12 school districts directly impacted by the opinion are spread throughout the state and include Fairfax, Loudoun and Manassas City but not Prince William County.

Fairfax Water urges study of developments’ impact on Occoquan Reservoir WATER, from page 1 Such studies are generally only triggered by major land-use changes in the region. The last was contemplated – but never completed – in the early 1990s, when Disney proposed an American-history-themed amusement park in western Prince William County, according to Normand Goulet, a senior environmental planner for the Northern Virginia Regional Commission.

The only reason a watershed impact study didn’t happen then was because Disney canceled the theme park in 1994 before the study could get under way, Goulet told the Prince William Times on Tuesday, March 29.

In a March 21 letter to Rebecca Horner, a Prince William deputy county executive, Fairfax County Water Authority General Manager Jamie Bain Hedges made the case that three land-use changes being considered by Prince William County are big enough to warrant the first comprehensive study of the Occoquan watershed in nearly three decades.

The large-scale land-use changes Hedges cites include Prince William County’s comprehensive plan update, which would eliminate Prince William County’s “rural area” designation, known as the “rural crescent,” where development is limited to one home per 10 acres and extensions of the public sewer lines are largely prohibited. The comprehensive plan proposes a new “agricultural and forestall” designation on more than 75,000 acres where up to one home per 5 acres would be allowed with public sewer extensions in certain areas – including in the rural crescent.

The other two proposals cited in the letter are the controversial “Prince William Digital Gateway,” which would replan 2,133 acres in the Pageland Lane corridor in western Prince William

County to allow for more than 27 million square feet of data centers, as well as the proposed expansion of the county’s “Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District,” a 10,000-acre area where data centers are allowed by right.

Hedges’ letter notes that Prince William County, as a member of the NVRC, has been helping support systematic efforts to monitor and improve water quality in the Occoquan watershed since the 1970s. That effort includes a computer model that can help county officials make decisions about major land-use changes by estimating their impact to the watershed in terms of stormwater runoff and pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment.

“Given the historic investment and achievements already made by the watershed communities over the preceding five decades to improve and protect the [Occoquan] Reservoir as a vital drinking water resource, and the magnitude of the planning initiatives under consideration by Prince William County, a study through the Occoquan Basin Policy Board utilizing the [computer model] is an essential input to the land-use decision process,” Hedges writes.

County: No decision yet

As of this week, Prince William County officials had not yet complied with Fairfax County Water Authority’s request by formally asking NVRC for the study. But NVRC officials have participated in at least one conference call with officials from Prince William County and the Fairfax County Water Authority to discuss the possibility, Goulet said Tuesday.

“We had some conversations with all of the parties because [the proposed development changes] have been in the news,” Goulet said. “We’re looking at a path forward.”

SAVE $150 Outdoor Solution

The study, if requested, would involve running the NRVC’s Occoquan Watershed Model, a computer tool, with inputs relative to the new developments. Among other things, the model is designed to help officials understand what thousands of acres of new “impervious surfaces” – development that replace fields and pastures with roads and buildings – would mean in terms of increased stormwater runoff and related pollutants and sediment in the Occoquan Reservoir.

The NVRC takes no position on whether such a study should occur but would rather only facilitate it should Prince William County – or any other jurisdiction that relies on the Occoquan Reservoir for drinking water – request it, Goulet said.

He noted, however, that since most of the information for the study would come from Prince William County, its participation is crucial. Part of the challenge, however, Goulet said, is coming up with the right inputs for the model to consider.

“We’re evaluating what the options are,” he added. “We don’t know if the model would say there would be an impact.”

The model is generally only effective at looking at large-scale changes in the watershed. The model was used to justify Fairfax County’s decision in the 1980s to downplan much of its acreage in the Occoquan watershed to generally one home per 5 acres, Goulet said.

Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler said Tuesday she was not aware of conversations between Prince William County officials and the NVRC about the possibility of a watershed impact study and that no decisions have yet been made.

“Any actions going forward have not been decided,” Wheeler said in an email.

Unity Reed H.S. celebrates new name, new look UNITY REED, from page 1 same time. Unity Braxton Middle was formerly known as Stonewall Middle School. The school was renamed for retired U.S. Marine Carroll Braxton, 97, and his late wife, Celestine, a former Prince William County teacher. Both were longtime community leaders.

Unity Reed High School’s mascot was also changed, from the Raiders to the Lions.

Arthur Reed became a security guard at the high school in 2005 after serving in the U.S. Army and spending several years in law enforcement. He retired from the Drug Enforcement Administration and then spent his final 13 years working at the high school. He was known for being friendly and giving advice to students, earning the affectionate nicknames of “godfather” and “grandpa” among them.

“When he retired, we all thought he would take some kind of high-paying consulting job,” said Ariel ReedSingh, the late Reed’s daughter.

“But he knew that in this position he would have a unique opportunity to be there for kids; to listen to them, to learn from them.”

Reed-Singh, who spoke during the event, said her father never had a bad word to say about any of the students.

“He always wanted to offer empathy, understanding and love to students,” Reed-Singh said. “He would come home asking me what different slang words meant, so he could give the best advice he had.”

Many of the students who participated in the renaming did not know Reed personally but had heard stories about him from older siblings or friends.

Devyn Sweeney, a URHS senior

“I think the name encapsulates everything that the school represents, from our diversity to our love for Arthur Reed.”

“I heard stories from her and met him twice. He was very nice,” Sweeney said. “And even though I wasn’t a student at the time, he definitely just welcomed me with open arms.”

Sweeney said that she and most other students supported the name change, though there were some people who didn’t.

“There were people who said the name was fine -- that it’s been this way for so long, why change it now?” Sweeney said. “And then there was the opposite – that Stonewall Jackson is a bad representation of who we are, and it needed to be changed. I think it definitely was a great move, to change it.”

Ana Umana, another member of the SALC and also a senior, said her two older siblings told her how “caring and nice” Reed was.

“He loved speaking with new people and was such a positive influence,” Umana said.

Umana said that most people felt positively about the name change.

“I think the majority of people understood and knew what [Reed] represented to the school,” Umana said.

Prince William County schools Superintendent LaTanya McDade and Virginia Del. Michelle Maldonado, D-50th, spoke at the event.

Prince William County School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef officially declared the school renamed.

“I think it was the most engaged

renaming this school division had ever seen,” Lateef said. “We had record numbers of emails and participants in our Zoom calls.”

The ceremony also included speakers from the school board and songs by the URHS Vocal Ensemble. The songs included the Unity Reed High School Alma Mater, which was written by the class of 2021-- the first class to graduate under the school’s new name.

The ceremony also included part of a video produced by the Student Activities Leadership Council. The council was involved in a lot of the changes to the school, including many murals that now line the hallways of the three-story building.

Although the school first took on its new name in August 2020, the renaming ceremony was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to URHS Principal Richard Nichols.

Sydney Stafford, a senior who is the other co-president of the SALC, said she was motivated to vote for the renaming because of how many former students had been impacted

by Reed.

“I think the name encapsulates everything that the school represents, from our diversity to our love for Arthur Reed,” Stafford said.

Fairfax Water urges study of developments’ impact on Occoquan Reservoir WATER, from page 4 Fairfax County Water Authority officials “recently spoke with staff from Prince William County to provide background on the model and the NVRC framework,” Susan Miller, a spokeswoman, said in an email Monday.

Miller reiterated that the “best use” for the Occoquan Watershed Model is to evaluate “larger land-use considerations, such as the ones under consideration” in Prince William County.

“Even if other jurisdictions were to request such a study, it would be important to have Prince William County participate to capture the land-

use scenarios being considered in Prince William County,” Miller added in an email.

The request from Fairfax County Water Authority to evaluate the impact on the Occoquan Reservoir of the proposed rural area data center corridor and other developments envisioned in the rural area was welcome news to those voicing concerns about such changes. Kim Hosen, executive director of the Prince William Conservation Alliance, said she considers the request “a show-stopper” that should compel Prince William County officials to seriously consider threats of such developments to the watershed and the region’s drinking water.

“Fauquier Times has been a great resource for our advertising. We have been advertising with the Fauquier Times in some capacity over the past 10 years. It provides the hometown audience that we look for to market our services within our community.

“Over the years it has provided us the return on investment -and then some -- and would highly recommend it to any business looking to reach local customers.”

Dawn Smith Owner – Peak Roofing Contractors, Inc.

“I think they are legitimately alarmed,” Hosen said of Fairfax County Water Authority. “It’s a dramatic change to the watershed.”

Hosen said the letter should also underscore the fact that development in Prince William’s rural area can have long-term impacts on the county’s lower-income residents who live in eastern Prince William and get their drinking water from the Occoquan Reservoir.

“If you build in the west, you hurt the watershed in the east,” she said. “And where are most of the county’s poorer residents … living? In the east.”

A sheriff’s office cruiser was damaged after a Feb. 25 crash in Fauquier County that left two people dead.

Police: Deputy drove 100 mph without emergency lights before fatal crash

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

A former Fauquier County Sheriff’s Deputy is the focus of a Virginia State Police criminal investigation into a Feb. 25 crash that killed a Fauquier County couple a short distance from their home.

Brock Smith, 25, the former deputy involved in the crash, has not been criminally charged. Smith is no longer employed with the sheriff’s office, according to Fauquier County Sheriff Jeremy Falls. Smith had been a sworn deputy since November of 2019, according to documents filed in Fauquier County Circuit Court.

Smith was driving his sheriff’s office-issued 2014 Dodge Charger northbound on U.S. 17 “at a high rate of speed and was found not to have emergency equipment activated at the time of the collision,” according to a March 1 search warrant affidavit filed by a Virginia State Police investigator.

The search warrant cites an investigation into alleged “reckless driving.”

Smith was driving 100 miles per hour on the section of highway between Morrisville and Goldvein in Fauquier County on Friday, Feb. 25, when his vehicle struck a 2018 Toyota Camry occupied by Mary and Brian Dangerfield, according to a March 7 Virginia State Police crash report obtained by the Fauquier Times through a legal filing. The speed limit on that stretch of U.S. 17 is 55 m.p.h.

Virginia State Police rejected a March 7 public records request from the Fauquier Times seeking more information about the crash. The state police cited an “open/active criminal investigation,” one of many exemptions included in Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act, as the reason for withholding the information.

Brian Dangerfield, 65, was behind the wheel of the Camry and was attempting to turn left onto the U.S. 17 from a small subdivision where the couple lived when he was hit by Smith’s sheriff’s office cruiser, according to the crash report. Brian Dangerfield died at the scene of the crash, while Mary Dangerfield, also 65, died later that day after being transported to a hospital.

Smith also suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries in the crash and was transported to the hospital, according to the initial Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office press release.

The Dangerfields had been married

for 43 years and had one daughter and two grandsons. Brian Dangerfield had “a long career of 45 years with IBM and Lockheed Martin” while Mary had “many jobs over the years,” according to the couple’s obituary.

The sheriff’s office announced Feb. 28 that Smith had been placed on administrative leave while the agency conducts “an internal review of the incident, pursuant to sheriff’s office policies and procedures.”

In a March 23 email, Falls declined to comment on whether Smith violated any department policies.

Civil lawsuit may be imminent

Virginia Beach-based attorney Jeffrey Breit is representing the Dangerfields’ estate. In a March 17 letter to Fauquier County officials, he wrote that “a claim is being made for personal injuries, wrongful death and other damages resulting from this incident.”

Breit sent a separate notice to the county advising the preservation of all records related to the incident ahead of potential litigation, he told the Fauquier Times.

After meeting with the family, Breit said he will draft a civil complaint and send it to attorneys representing the county. The county could then opt to settle the matter outside of court before the case is filed, he said.

“This is a case that will be against an officer acting in a grossly negligent way,” Breit said, noting there is video, GPS tracking data and a “black box” from Smith’s cruiser that recorded evidence related to the crash.

Smith was responding to a call for service without authorization and had been traveling at 100 m.p.h. “for a long period of time” before striking the Dangerfields’ vehicle, Breit said, citing law enforcement evidence he has reviewed from the crash.

Smith had “voluntarily dispatched himself” to a call and was “told he was too far away … and no longer needed,” Breit added. “It was basically an accident waiting to happen.”

In an email, Falls declined to comment on the state police reports or Breit’s allegations about Smith’s actions.

“Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on the ongoing VSP investigation or the internal investigation,” Falls wrote.

FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT ENGINEERING EVALUATION/COST ANALYSIS for

Little Creek Skeet Range (UXO 001)

Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region – Marine Corps Base Quantico Quantico, Virginia Under the Munitions Response Program, the Department of the Navy (Navy), in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) recently completed a study to evaluate alternatives for a response action at the Little Creek Skeet Range (UXO 001) at Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region - Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ). The Munitions Response Program (MRP) addresses munitions-related hazards and risks associated with munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) and munitions constituents. The MRP follows the investigation and remediation process defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). CERCLA requires development of an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) to evaluate removal alternatives prior to conducting a response action.

The Navy, as lead agency, has prepared an EE/CA in accordance with CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan.

UXO 001 is a former skeet and trap range on the Mainside of MCBQ. The range was operated from 1936 to the mid-1940s. Ammunition used at the range likely was limited to small-arms ammunition (12-gauge or smaller shotgun). The site is comprised of the 12th and 13th holes of the Medal of Honor Golf Course and a wooded area used for hiking. Range-related and non-range-related debris is present in small piles and scattered across the land surface. Testing conducted in 2015 indicated that a roofing shingle at the site contained asbestos, therefore all roofing shingles are assumed to be asbestos-containing material (ACM). Based on investigations performed at the site, there is no evidence indicating the presence of MEC. The EE/CA evaluates alternatives to reduce the potential for human contact with surface soils that may contain polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and debris piles that may contain Asbestos Containing Material (ACM). As a result of the EE/CA, the Navy is proposing to remove impacted soil and ACM debris posing potential human health and ecological risks to 1 foot below the ground surface.

The Navy invites public review of the EE/CA and public comment on the recommended alternative. Public participation is an important part of the remedy selection process and the Navy’s preferred alternative may be modified based on new information and/or public comments. The EE/CA, along with other general and site-specific information, is available for public review on the Navy’s environmental website for MCBQ (https://go.usa.gov/xngKr).

Hardcopies of the EE/CA are available for public review at the following information repositories: Information Repositories Chinn Park Regional Library 13065 Chinn Park Drive Woodbridge, VA 22192 703-792-4800

Prince William Times | March 31, 2022

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fairfax Water Authority’s call to study data centers’ expansion another red flag Somebody is always throwing cold water on the Prince William Digital Gateway. This week’s bucket in the face is courtesy of the Fairfax County Water Authority.

In its letter of March 21st, Fairfax Water said: “Communities in most areas of Eastern Prince William County rely on the Occoquan Reservoir as their primary supply of drinking water, as do the City of Alexandria, Fort Belvoir and portions of Fairfax County.” Also: “Prince William County has the largest portion of land area within the Occoquan Watershed in its jurisdiction” and “substantial changes in land-use patterns in areas of Prince William County will impact water quality in the watershed and reservoir.”

Fairfax Water’s recommendation stated: “To ensure continued protection of the Occoquan Reservoir, we ask that Prince William County request that the Occoquan Basin Policy Board convene and over-

see a comprehensive study of the proposed planning initiatives – the comprehensive plan update, Digital Gateway corridor and Data Center Opportunity Overlay District – to evaluate their impact on water quality in the Occoquan Reservoir.”

The two paragraphs above contain direct quotes from our area’s water quality experts. These comments echo similar cautions previously issued by the Sierra Club, the Virginia Department of Forestry, the Fairfax County Department of Planning and Development and Prince William County’s own Watershed Management Division.

Are our leaders going to ignore multiple red flags? Are we really going to sacrifice the health of our citizens to satisfy some developer’s dream? Get involved before you learn the answer is “yes.”

Where is Prince William County’s plan for rural businesses?

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors passed the arts and agricultural overlay district, but it sits on a back shelf, just like the purchase of development rights program, which needs to be funded and staffed. We need an agricultural economic development office like the one Loudoun County has.

The Loudoun County Department of Economic Development’s Rural Business Division helps both new and existing rural businesses by providing both traditional and alternative farming choices as well as assistance with marketing and promotions of rural enterprises. According to the department’s records, Loudoun County’s equine industry had a $180 million annual economic impact in 2018. In 2016, Loudoun’s tourism destinations had an economic impact of $1.7 billion and a wedding industry worth more than $118 million per year, to name a few.

Loudoun County’s rural economic business development strategy is to enhance business opportunities in the rural economy, which accounts for more than two-thirds of Loudoun County’s land. Agriculture and ag-

Letters to the Editor

based tourism plays an important role in the county’s western corridor, generating revenue and recognizing their values: maintaining the county’s physical beauty and rural assets.

Tech/flex zoning – which allows data centers -- is NOT the only option for development in the rural landscape, and it’s not compatible land use. Build a better quality of life, protect the current quality of life for taxpaying residents. Don’t side with the outside Industries with their promises for fools’ gold.

Prince William County is on the wrong track! The wrong track for history, the wrong track for building a sustainable community, the wrong track for climate change. We need to recognize the importance of local farming and locally sourced food, environmental and historical assets, watershed preservation and quality of life. The railroading and spin by developers and industrial speculators and individual landowners who influence the county and supervisors is astounding.

The Prince William Times welcomes letters to the editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects.

WRITE: Letters to the Editor 41 Culpeper Street Warrenton, VA 20188 FAX: Editor 540-349-8676 EMAIL: news@fauquier.com

School board chairman’s endorsement of rural area data centers is misplaced As a parent of school-aged children in Prince William County, I was discouraged to read our school board chairman’s recent endorsement of the highly controversial and widely unpopular Prince William Digital Gateway.

If Dr. Lateef took the time to look beyond the slick marketing materials of the developers looking to gouge the rural and historic land along Pageland Lane, he would be confronted by multiple rejections of this project – from conservation groups to historic preservation societies to residents across the county to the Fairfax County Water Authority.

While data centers are often touted as a never-ending font of tax revenue, and thus funding for schools, they are anything but.

Prince William should learn from Loudoun’s recent budget shortages related to overestimated revenue projections from their data center industry base.

In case he has forgotten, Dr. Lateef lost his 2011 campaign for chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and instead sits as the current school board chair. Dr. Lateef, stop over-politicizing our school board and keep your focus on how you plan to spend funding for our schools – not how to get that funding in the first place.

It is deeply disappointing to watch public officials abuse their elected roles by inappropriately lobbying for pet projects. However, if Dr Lateef insists on weighing in on the on-going land-use debate, I look forward to his condemnation of proposed high-density residential developments in rural areas, which will overcrowd schools and strain existing infrastructure – directly impacting our students.

VIDA CARROLL Nokesville

Ramadan begins Friday, April 1 Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims (with some exceptions) are required to fast during this whole month from dawn to sunset. God states in the Holy Quran: “And when My servants ask thee about Me, say: ‘I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he prays to Me. So they should harken to Me and believe in Me, that they may follow the right way (2:187).

This verse explains that God is near and listens to us provided we also listen to Him by following His commandments in the form of worship of God through prayer and service to humanity. During Ramadan, both these broad categories of worship reach a pinnacle when Muslims fast and abstain from things that are otherwise lawful only for the sake of God, do special focus on worship through prayers and also try to do a lot of charity and community service.

Every year we pass through the spiritual exercise of Ramadan to regain our spiritual strength and be recharged for the rest of the year. In return, in the words of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) God has promised, “Fasting is for me and I am its reward”.

I attend Masroor Mosque in Manassas where every year Ramadan brings a memorable opportunity to bring together people of all backgrounds and faiths for an interfaith Iftar (breaking of the fast) dinner. I look forward to hopefully an in-person Interfaith Iftar dinner this time on Saturday, April 9 after virtual events during the last two years due to COVID 19. May the values such as empathy, sacrifice for each other, giving like kindred and mutual harmony for which Ramadan serves as a reminder brighten up our lives always.

Old Bust Head unveils new carbon capture technology

By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Old Bust Head Brewing Company last month became the first brewery in Virginia to implement carbon capture technology in its brewing process.

By capturing the waste carbon dioxide (CO2) produced during fermentation, the technology allows Old Bust Head to reuse the CO2 in other stages of the beer-making process rather than releasing the greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, the Warrenton-based brewery said in a statement. The carbon-capture unit – a blocky, gray machine called “CiCi” – will enable Old Bust Head to capture “more than 1,500 trees worth of waste CO2 from the brewing process each year.”

Old Bust Head brewmaster Jay Bergantim first came to Julie Broaddus, the brewery’s co-owner, with the idea of capturing waste CO2 with the CiCi unit in July 2021. It was only then, Broaddus admitted, that she “realized that the stuff bubbling in our tanks was CO2—and it was going up into the atmosphere.” The decision to install the technology, Broaddus said, was “inspired by this desire to do all we possibly could for the environment.”

The carbon capture technology is the latest in a series of sustainable business practices implemented by Broaddus at Old Bust Head. The brewery has already installed solar panels, a geothermal system and other energy efficient technology.

Broaddus is particularly motivated in her envi-

ronmentalism, she said, by the memory of her late daughter, Finley Broaddus. Finley, a passionate environmental activist who passed away from liver cancer at 18, “was an exuberant, joyful person who had a serious concern about climate change,” Broaddus said.

The CiCi carbon-capture unit, unveiled March 13 in a ribbon-cutting on Finley’s birthday, was a birthday present for Finley, Broaddus said.

When Broaddus first realized that her brewery was releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, she said, “The first thing I thought of was Finley. She would never approve of us putting CO2 into the atmosphere.”

“Old Bust Head is motivated by a desire to make life both rich and sustainable,” said Julie Broaddus, the brewery’s co-owner. “Recaptured CO2 is not only better for the planet, it makes better beer; so that’s a win-win.”

During the normal brewing process, CO2 generated during fermentation is funneled into buckets of water and released into the atmosphere. But with the CiCi unit – developed by Austin-based Earthly Labs – that waste gas is collected, dried and chilled to remove impurities and then turned into liquified CO2, which can be used for carbonation, said Bergantim.

Before implementing the new technology, Old Bust Head, like most other breweries, had to purchase CO2 to carbonate its beer, Broaddus explained. But the recaptured CO2, once purified, actually contains fewer impurities than the purchased CO2, thus im-

The amount of waste CO2 captured is “variable on the type of beer,” said Bergantim. For the Irish red ale fermenting earlier this month, he said, “the system has collected more than 300 pounds of CO2.”

Donated Google Nests help seniors stay connected Staff Reports Residents of the Lake Ridge Fellowship House can call friends and family, make telehealth appointments, get the weather forecast and access entertainment using just the sounds of their voices, thanks to the recent donation of more than 400 “Google Nest Hub Max” devices from LeadingAge, a D.C.-based aging advocacy association, and Volara, a New York-based senior living voice-assistant technology company.

The organizations and their partners are providing Google Next

Hub Max devices to 9,000 residents across more than 300 senior living communities in the U.S. and the United Kingdom to help seniors maintain connections and avoid isolation, according to Shelley Ducker, a Fellowship House spokeswoman.

“Technology’s potential to positively impact older adults’ lives and well-being is broad and deep,” said LeadingAge President and CEO Katie Smith Sloan in a statement. “We must ensure older adults have access to internet service and devices so they can take advantage of the telehealth

Residents of Fellowship House typically live on fixed incomes that average about $10,000 a year. Most do not have smartphones and can feel “overwhelmed” by today’s technology, Christy Zeitz, CEO of Fellowship Square, said in a statement.

“This voice-assisted, simple-touse device can be transformative in the lives of our residents, giving them easier access to their community, but also to music, sports scores, weather and a broad range of entertainment just a voice command away,” Zeitz said in the news release.

“Importantly, this helps address the digital inequity and affordability issues that many residents of affordable housing communities face.”

As part of the sign-up process, Volara pre-programmed each Google Nest Hub Max with each resident’s personal contacts. Video calls can be made via voice commands, enabling seniors to communicate with their children, grandchildren and friends face-to-face just by uttering a simple voice command, the release said.

The voice-operation also allows people with limited vision, reduced finger dexterity or mobility issues to use it, the release said, “I’m really enjoying it. I’m enjoying the music; I’m able to play all kinds of music from the 1940s and 1950s. I

It’s almost time for the bluebells In Virginia, the bluebells ring in spring

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

Virginia bluebells are one of nature’s showstopper wildflowers, and they can be seen in many spots right here in Greater Prince William County. But their beauty is fleeting, so make a plan to see them while you can.

Bluebells are ephemeral wildflowers, which means they only bloom for two to three weeks in April. Prince William is home to many stream banks and wooded wetland areas where one can enjoy bluebells’ splendor.

Each spring as the temperatures rise and the days get longer, bluebells’ dainty pink blossoms appear and burst into beautiful, blue bell-shaped flowers atop emerald-green leaves and stems. The Virginia Native Plant Society opines that, “Few blues in nature rival the blue of Virginia bluebells.”

But some blossoms turn a beautiful pink after pollination, and occasionally a white blossom can be seen.

During bluebells’ peak bloom, local naturalists scramble to document their growth patterns.

Casual observers might be surprised to see their walking trails adorned with a blanket of cobalt, and families gather to take pictures among the blossoms to capture their short-lived glory.

But as quickly as the blossoms arrive, they are gone. As temperatures rise and the tree canopy fills out over the flood plains and wetland habitats where the bluebells thrive, the wildflowers’ foliage disappears until next year.

Bluebells, known botanically as Mertensia virginica, are native to Virginia and were named for the colony of Virginia. According to VPNS, Thomas Jefferson grew bluebells at Monticello, and 19th-century garden writers sometimes called them “Jefferson’s blue funnel flowers.”

While bluebells are abundant in many parts of Virginia, they are so prolific in greater Prince William that the bluebell is the official flower of Prince William County. About a decade ago,

Scenes of bluebells at Merrimac Farms in Nokesville. the Prince William Wildflower Society asked the board of county supervisors to designate the bluebell as the county’s official flower, said Nancy Vehrs, president of the Prince William Wildflower Society, a chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society.

Vehrs said her love of bluebells began when she was a young girl.

“I grew up in Loch Lomond, kind of across the creek from Bull Run Regional Park, and that is how my love of bluebells began.”

Vehrs said she visits bluebells in locations around the county each year. The bluebell has been the logo flower of the PWWS for nearly 40 years. It was designed by former VNPS president Nicky Staunton in 1983.

Kim Hosen, the executive director of the Prince William Conservation Alliance, is also a fan of bluebells. She says the best place to see the “fabulous flower” is Merrimac Farm in Nokesville where the annual Bluebell Festival is held each April.

“At Merrimac Farm, one of the largest colonies of Virginia, bluebells in Northern Virginia carpet the floodplain along Cedar Run for nearly a mile,” she said. “It’s like walking through Oz!” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@gmail.com

Keep walking on the boardwalk through the flower-filled floodplain. This is a good option for those with mobility challenges because the bridge is not far from the parking lot.

Merrimac Farm Wildlife Management Area 15014 Deepwood Lane in Nokesville There’s nearly a mile of bluebells along Cedar Run. Parking is available but limited. The trail can be a bit soggy, so wear gym shoes or rain boots that can get muddy.

Bull Run Regional Park

7700 Bull Run Drive in Centerville Bluebells can be seen along Bull Run and on the 1.5-mile Bluebell Trail. The park bleeds into Prince William’s Ben Lomond Park at 7500 Ben Lomond Drive in Manassas, where bluebells also line the Bull Run.

Conway Robinson Memorial State Forest

Lee Highway and University Boulevard in Gainesville The bluebells can be seen along Little Bull Run, which bounds the forest on the north.

Bristow Broad Run Trail

To access the trail, locals suggest parking at Grace Life Church, 9560 Linton Hall Road in Bristow, or Victory Elementary, 12001 Tygart Lake Drive in Bristow. Bluebells are present all along Broad Run.

Doves Landing Park

9113 Doves Lane in Manassas The best viewing area to see the bluebells is where Cedar Run and Broad Run converge to form the Occoquan River.

COVERING THE BASES The Prince William Times previews all the county’s softball teams

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

They’re been flinging riseballs and stealing bases on high school softball fields around Prince William County

for about three weeks now.

Battlefield, Patriot and first-year program Gainesville are off to strong starts, while Osbourn, Brentsville, and Potomac are bringing along younger talent.

Manassas Park isn’t playing softball this year, while Unity Reed and Freedom have JV squads only.

A look at who’s doing what on the softball diamond so far:

Red hot Trinity Mizelle is hitting .571 for Hylton.

PHOTO BY PIERRE CANNON

BATTLEFIELD -Coach: Mike Corbin (1st year) -District: Cedar Run -Twitter: @BHS_SB -Web: BobcatsPride.org -In the circle: Aiko Conaway, Bailey Lavin, Lilly Compton, Colleen Kelly -At the plate: Trinity Gaither, Kaleigh Hargis, Rowan Coale, Allie Daniels, Sage Viar, Siann Meadows, Lilly Compton, Maddie Johnson, Casey Sneath -Coach’s take: Relentless. That’s how coach Mike Corbin describes this year’s

Battlefield team.

Battlefield is 6-0 after an 11-9 extrainning win Tuesday over Osbourn Park.

“They love to compete,” the coach said of his Bobcats. “They are a very close group on and off the field.”

Sophomore Aiko Conaway and Bailey Lavin handle most of the pitching duties, while the lineup is loaded with hitters batting over .500, including seniors Sage Viar, Siann Meadows, and Wofford College commit Lilly Compton.

COLGAN -Coach: Andy O’Brien (1st year) -District: Cardinal -Twitter: @Colgan_Softball -Web: ColganSharkAthletics.org -In the circle: Ava Johns, Keonna Nichols -At the plate: Cate Russian, Izzy Adame, Mari Roman, Molly George, Keyonce Ewell, Keonna Nichols, Kayli Lamboy -Coach’s take: Coach Andy O’Brien isn’t the only one who’s new to his position. Five starters graduated from last year’s squad.

“We’re still working on the best fit for all the players,” the coach said.

Colgan (3-2 as of Tuesday) has some key seniors, including pitcher Ava Johns and second baseman Mari Roman, who’s hitting over .400.

Sophomore Keonna Nichols is splitting pitching duties with Johns.

Junior Molly George and sophomore Izzy Adame are hitting .400 too, while junior third baseman Cate Russian is swinging at a .500 clip.

Sophomore infielders Nichols and Keyonce Ewell are batting nearly .400, while freshman Kayli Lamboy already has a three-homer game on her résumé.

GAINESVILLE -Coach: Scott Thomas (1st year) -District: Cedar Run -Twitter: @GHS_Cardinals -Web: GainesvilleCardinals.com -In the circle: Raechal Ruwe, Alyssa Brady -At the plate: Lauren Jones, Lerric Johnson, Cheyenne Davidson -Coach’s take: When Gainesville defeated Potomac to open their inaugural season, it “was the first varsity win not only for the school but every girl on the team,” coach Scott Thomas said.

Inexperience is expected in a firstyear program, but the Cardinals are not bereft of talent.

“We have set our first-year goal to be making the regional playoffs,” Thomas said.

For pitching, Gainesville relies on freshman Raechal Ruwe and junior

Callie Whitehead and Gainesville aim to make regionals in their first year.

Alyssa Brady. Ruwe struck out 21 through her first 14 innings, collecting a pair of wins with a 1.00 ERA. Junior catcher Lauren Jones smacked a pair of homers in the win over Potomac. She and sophomore shortstop Lerric Johnson are hitting over .500.

Junior center fielder Cheyenne Davidson is hitting over .500 and is a stolen-base threat.

POTOMAC -Coach: Ryan Swanson (1st year) -District: Cardinal -Twitter: @AthleticsPSHS -Web: PotomacAthletics.net -In the circle: Wynema Thomas, Mikayla Amos -At the plate: Wynema Thomas, Mikayla Amos, Ariana Patterson, Tayler Brown, Maleah Wells -Coach’s take: Moving up from his assistant’s role a year ago, coach Ryan Swanson has a starting lineup with

seven freshmen and sophomores. “We are a solid team defensively,” he said, “but we still haven’t gotten used to the speed of high school pitching.”

Senior Wynema Thomas and sophomore Mikayla Amos alternate between third base and the pitcher’s circle. They throw to sophomore catcher Ariana Patterson.

New to the Potomac program this season is a JV team, Swanson said.

HYLTON -Coach: Pam Kantor (4th year) -District: Cardinal -Twitter: @CDHyltonSoftba1 -Web: hyltonhs.pwcs.edu/our_school/ student_activities/athletics -In the circle: Juli Ritchie -At the plate: Trinity Mizelle, Amiya Johnson -Coach’s take: It’s a rebuilding year for veteran coach Pam Kantor, now in her 24th season after 20 years leading the

North Stafford program.

“Due to injuries and graduation, we only have four returning starters,” she said.

Joey Rhodes and Trinity Mizelle are the only two seniors on the roster. Mizelle is hitting at a .571 clip in the early going.

Junior Amiya Johnson is hitting .500.

Sophomore pitcher Juli Ritchie is “getting stronger and stronger every day after recuperating from an off-season surgery,” Kantor said.

BRENTSVILLE -Coach: Mike Post (3rd year) -District: Northwestern/Class 3 -Twitter: @BDHSsoftball -Web: sites.google.com/view/brentsvilledistrict/spring-sports/softball -In the circle: Tea Cornett -At the plate: Ellie Post, Sierra Tannheiser, Natalie Quinlan, Raegan Cullen, Taylor Saunders -Coach’s take: Normally the Region 3B runner-up goes to the state tournament, but not last year due to pandemic rules, which deprived the Tigers (3-2 as of Tuesday) of a state playoff game.

Luckily, several key components are back from last year’s 11-4 team.

Star pitcher Tea Cornett returns after earning first-team all-region honors as a freshman. Junior Raegan Cullen and sophomore Taylor Saunders make a strong double-play combo.

Senior catcher Ellie Post is back after an All-Region Player of the Year campaign last spring. Senior outfielder Sierra Tannheiser and junior third baseman Natalie Quinlan made first- and second-team all-region a year ago.

“Looking for big things from the players mentioned,” said coach Mike Post, who has six freshmen on his roster of 15. “The future is very bright.”

FOREST PARK

GAR-FIELD

-Coach: Nikki Peros (6th year) -District: Cardinal -Twitter: @ForestParkBruin -Web: forestparkhs.rschoolteams.com -In the circle: Jenna Langley -At the plate: Jenna Langley, Madisyn Olson, Janel Day -Coach’s take: Nikki Peros has never coached such a versatile group of players, she said.

“We were a very young team last year and this year our girls are gaining confidence each day,” Peros said. “They all play so many different positions, so although we have a small team, we have depth at each spot.”

Four-year varsity starter Jenna Langley is back for her senior season as the Bruins’ top pitcher and hitter. Through the first three games she racked up 17 strikeouts and clobbered two home runs.

Senior leadoff hitter Madisyn Olson is batting .400 while taking walks and laying down bunts. Janel Day is a contact hitter with power.

-Coach: Amanda Cahow (3rd year) -District: Cardinal -Twitter: @GFHSsoftball -Web: GarFieldAthletics.org -In the circle: Amaya McPherson -At the plate: Chaya Tyler, Madison George, Amaya McPherson, McKenzie Dewhurst -Coach’s take: With only two seniors, the Red Wolves are “young and building up,” coach Amanda Cahow said.

“We have a lot of potential and girls who can play multiple positions, which is exciting,” she added.

Gar-Field (2-2 as of Tuesday) is led by sophomore Amaya McPherson, a strikeout pitcher with movement on her tosses.

Senior Chaya Tyler leads the offense with a lofty 1.339 on-base/plus slugging (OPS) average. McPherson, junior Madison George, and junior McKenzie Dewhurst each carry an OPS over 1.000, while Tyler and Dewhurst are threats to steal a base.

OSBOURN -Coach: Kevin Shafer (5th year) -District: Cedar Run -Twitter: @Osbourn_Athlete -Web: OsbournAthletics.org -In the circle: Jenna Dimiceli, Rhyannon Stanley -At the plate: Lauren Fawley, Tristyn Kershner, Carleigh Ruffner, Jenna Dimiceli, Makenzie Skerman, Erika Stewart -Coach’s take: It’s a small, tight-knit group that coach Kevin Shafer has in his 12th year overall in the Osbourn program.

“With no rising seniors for next season, we’ll rely heavily on our underclassmen and rising freshmen coming out of Metz [Middle School],” he said.

The Eagles won three of their first five games behind senior pitcher Jenna Dimiceli, sophomore pitcher Rhyannon Stanley, and a strong batting lineup.

Leading off the order are freshmen Lauren Fawley and Tristyn Kershner.

They’re backed by captains Dimiceli and Carleigh Ruffner and fellow seniors

The Osbourn Eagles are young and talented this spring.

Makenzie Skerman and Erika Stewart, all four-year varsity starters.

“They’ve been instrumental in leading a very young team,” Shafer said.

“All of them are putting the bat on the ball and making things happen on the basepaths.”

OSBOURN PARK -Coach: Patrick Derosa (5th year) -District: Cedar Run -Twitter: @OsbournParkSB -Web: OPJackets.org -In the circle: Alena Hillyard, Darrah Nickens -At the plate: Darrah Nickens, Cassie Mills, Amari Frederick, Reagan Wolford -Coach’s take: Things look promising for OP. They won their first three games and took undefeated Battlefield to extra innings on Tuesday.

Coach Patrick Derosa, in his eighth year overall in the OP program, says it’s

the final run for five seniors who led the Yellow Jackets to the region semis two years ago and the state semis last year.

PItchers Alena Hillyard and Darrah Nickens, along with Shelby Presgrave, Cassie Mills, and Reagan Wolford, constitute the Jackets’ senior corps.

Hillyard and Nickens didn’t allow a run through their first three outings combined.

At the dish, lefty-swinging Nickens is hitting over .600 and producing runs, while seniors Mills and Wolford and sophomore Amari Frederick are run producers.

PATRIOT -Coach: Frances Wolf (3rd year) -District: Cedar Run -Twitter: @PatriotSoftbal1 -Web: PatriotPioneers.org -In the circle: Reagan Trottman -At the plate: Isa Ellis, Emily Casey, Makiya Williams, Ella Roberson, Layla French -Coach’s take: The season is going well so far for Patriot, which has a veteran team and high hopes for postseason glory.

“Talent is nearly endless and we have depth at every position,” coach Frances Wolf said.

Junior pitcher Raegan Trottman whiffed 24 batters in her first 21 innings, working to a 1.36 ERA. Freshman Isa Ellis is a table-setter with a .538 average through the first four games, with four RBIs and five runs scored.

John Tilghman Hazel, Jr. October 29, 1930 – March 15, 2022 One of the founders of the Northern Virginia as we know it, Til Hazel (Tilghman became Til on his first day of college) of Broad Run, Virginia died on March 15, 2022, at the age of 91. He was a well-known lawyer, developer, philanthropist and champion of education at all levels.

Til was born on October 29, 1930, the eldest son of Ruth Douglas Hazel and Dr. John T. Hazel. He grew up in Arlington, Virginia and graduated from Washington Lee High School in 1947. He graduated from Harvard College (1951) and Harvard Law School (1954) and served in the United States Army Infantry and Judge Advocate General Corps in the 1950s. He was awarded honorary degrees from The College of William & Mary, Christopher Newport University and The Virginia Community College Systems.

Til began his private law practice in Fairfax in 1961, soon joined by Grayson Hanes and later Duane Beckhorn to form Hazel Beckhorn & Hanes. The firm specialized in land use, real estate, business law and litigation. Under Til’s leadership, the firm grew to become one of the premier law firms in Northern Virginia, later merging with Thomas & Fiske of Alexandria and Reed Smith, a major international law firm founded in Pittsburgh, PA. In addition to practicing law and prevailing in a number of Virginia Supreme Court cases that ended the “no growth” policies of Fairfax County, Til partnered with Milt Peterson to form the Hazel Peterson Companies, a real estate development firm that developed a dozen or more residential communities and associated community retail centers, including Burke Centre and Fairfax Station, as well as shopping centers and office buildings at Tysons Corner and Fair Lakes. Those communities and projects are testimony to Til’s commitment to affordable, livable communities and office parks that make Northern Virginia such a desirable place to live and a beacon to companies all over the nation and the world who have moved to Northern Virginia to locate and grow their businesses.

Til was passionate about education at all levels. He was instrumental in transitioning George Mason University from a small four-year college in Fairfax to one of the leading research universities in the nation and the largest university in Virginia. Til served as Rector of the University during the period of its greatest growth and facilitated partnerships between the University and the business community that provided significant support to the University and real-world learning opportunities to its students. He was awarded the first Mason Gold Medal. Til was also the impetus behind the acquisition and accreditation of the George Mason Law School, now the Scalia School of Law, where John T. Hazel, Jr. Hall stands as a lasting tribute to his vision and leadership.

On the secondary school level, Til was the founding Chairman of present-day Flint Hill School, as well as Chairman of St. Stephen’s School in Alexandria.

He was also instrumental in the founding of Thomas Jefferson High School of Science and Technology, a school often described as the best public school in the nation, as well as Fredericksburg Academy.

Til supported Harvard by serving on the Dean’s Council of both the undergraduate college and the School of Law. In addition, he served on the Executive Committee of The Harvard Committee on University Resources and as Chairman of the Harvard College Fund ’84.

Til has been recognized by his community and peers for his outstanding leadership and vision. The first was the award of the Frothingham Scholarship for the outstanding member of his college class of 1951 and numerous awards since then. He was the first Virginian to serve as President of the Washington Board of Trade (1984), was awarded the Community Leadership Award by the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia (1987), was a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, elected to The Washington Business Hall of Fame, and the founder and chairman of the Virginia Business Higher Education Council and was a member of the Board of the University of Virginia’s Miller Foundation, the Board of the National Air and Space Museum, the Corcoran Gallery and the Washington Airports Task Force.

A true Virginian for his entire lifetime, in addition to his many business, community and civil endeavors, Til raised cattle and farmed his family’s land in Fauquier County, Virginia.

Til was predeceased by his first wife, Marion Virginia (“Jinx”) Engle Hazel and later by his second wife, Anne Barnett Merrill Hazel, as well as his brothers, William A. Hazel and Lawrence D. Hazel.

He is survived by his four children, Leigh Ann Hazel-Groux (Rick), and their daughters: Rosemary and Margaret; John Tilghman Hazel, III (Michele) and their daughters: Virginia Hazel Potter (Kevin) and Alexandra Hazel Remuzzi (James); James W. Hazel (Sarah) and their children: James (Katelyn) and Emily; Richard M. Hazel (Cheryl) and their children: Caroline, William (Jenna), Lucy, Mary Rose Hazel Houston (Tyler), John and Cathryn; and his Merrill family, Randolph Searing Merrill, III (Ashley) and their daughters: Caroline Camp, Anne Alexander and Lane Barnett Merrill; and William Randle Barnett Merrill (Raquel), as well as five wonderful great-grandchildren: Alden Potter, Carter Hazel, Adeline Remuzzi, Isabella Remuzzi and Lillian Hazel.

While Til was proud of his many accomplishments and the recognition that accompanied them, spending time with members of his family at his home in Fauquier County, Huntley Hall, was most precious to him.

A memorial service will be held at Grace Episcopal Church, 6507 Main Street, The Plains, VA at 1:00 p.m. April 2, 2022.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that remembrances be made to The Grace Episcopal Church, The Plains, Virginia.

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | March 31, 2022

Elmer Murdock Putnam Elmer Murdock Putnam, 61, of Caroline County, originally from Warrenton, was called to his heavenly home on March 20, 2022.

Murdock was a loving husband to Angela Putnam for the past 25 years. He is survived by 7 children: Destiny, Cody, Spencer, Brittany, Callie, Jessica, and Stephanie.

Murdock was the type of person that if you liked him, you loved him. His presence would fill a room and he always had a little bit of guidance and wisdom to share. In truth, he had more opinions than most and was not afraid to share them. Jokes were his main language, he loved to make everyone laugh and could find himself a friend in any crowd. He loved to ride his motorcycle and have a good time. He always went out of his way to help and lend his skills in any way he could.

He was commonly known as Road Pirate across the CB airwaves; he drove all across the country throughout the 90’-00’s hauling fuel and other commodities. Most recently, he was fortunate enough to be part of the Howard Brothers Paving family where he worked until the day before he passed. Alongside trucking, he was well known as a construction project manager on many major road projects throughout Northern VA, mostly for Ed Lawrence Construction Company.

We already miss him greatly, and his absence leaves a hole in the hearts of all who knew him.

The family received guests at Storke Funeral Home in Bowling Green from 6-8pm Friday, March 25th. A Celebration of Life was held on 2:00 p.m. Saturday, March 26th, at 1943 Hickory Hill Road, St. Stephens Church.

He began working for Contel in Manassas, Virginia in October 1979. He continued working through the merger of the company to GTE and then Verizon until his retirement in March 2007.

John was preceded in death by the love of his life, Mabel Kay Leiter. He is survived by his children, Heidi Elkins (Laura Elkins), Tammy Rizer (Jeremy Rizer), John Leiter II (Jacqueline Leiter); Grandchildren, Andrew, Austin, Aleksander, Jason, Haley, Kaylee, and Connor; Siblings, Blodwyn Featherston, Paul Leiter, II, and Kim Garber; and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in loving memory of John Steven Leiter, I, to the Vietnam Veterans of America (vva.org).

Paul Alexander Yost, Jr. Paul Alexander Yost, Jr., was born in Philadelphia, PA, on January 3, 1929, and slipped peacefully into the eternities on February 9, 2022, just 46 days after his beloved bride, Janice Kay Worth, died on Christmas Day 2021.

Paul was the oldest of two children born to Army Major Paul and Jeanne Yost Sr. Paul and his younger brother Larry spent their high school years in St. Petersburg, FL. The “Yost boys” were known for their high jinks and practical jokes. They spent hours fishing in the Gulf, repairing their old outboard engine, or working on Paul’s cars. It was while he was fishing that Paul met his first United States Coast Guard officer dressed in his khaki summer uniform.

The uniform made an instant impression and right then he vowed to become an officer in the Coast Guard.

Paul married Jan Worth upon his graduation from the Coast Guard Academy in 1951, and this was the beginning of a beautiful love affair that spanned over 70 years and will continue into the eternities. Together they traversed the world, living in such places as Honolulu, HI, Guam, Juneau, AK, New Orleans, LA, New York, NY, and Washington, DC. They were an inseparable team. Together they raised five children while Paul served our nation, including long stretches at sea, and serving tours in the Korean and Vietnam wars. He documented these separations with hundreds of letters and tapes to his wife and children. These personal remembrances chronicled his commitment to God and family as he remained present and committed to those values throughout his life.

In 1956, Paul and Jan made a momentous decision that would alter their lives and affect the future of their family and extended family when they both decided they should join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Church) and remained faithful members throughout their lives. Paul’s conversion continued a lifetime of Christian discipleship. He served in several prominent Church positions, including as a member of the Church’s Military Affairs Committee and Bishop of the Chalmette Ward in Louisiana. In 2011 he and Jan served a mission for the Church as Ambassadors to the United Nations where they made wonderful friends with Ambassadors from around the globe. Together they succeeded in obtaining “Special Consultative Status” by the United Nations’ Economic and Social Council thus providing Latter-day Saint Charities UN recognition around the world.

In 1969 CDR Yost served a 13-month tour in Vietnam and was the Commander, Task Group 115.3, a combat command on the coast of Vietnam where he led numerous missions into the Mekong Delta. During his tour he received the Silver Star Medal, Legion of Merit with Combat V, Combat Action Ribbon, Vietnamese 2nd Class Order Navy Distinguished Service, Medal Republic of Vietnam Campaign Ribbon, Vietnam Service Medal with 2 Bronze Stars, Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Unit Citation with Palm, and the Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star. During peacetime he was also awarded these, among other, medals: Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Transportation Distinguished Service Medal, Coast Guard Distinguished Service Medal with Two Bronze Stars, Meritorious Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Star, Presidential Unit Commemoration, Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, and Sea Service Ribbon with Two Bronze Stars.

Admiral Yost became the 18th Commandant of the United States Coast Guard on 30 May 1986. He was nominated to the position by President Ronald Reagan and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. During his tenure as Commandant, Admiral Yost successfully maintained the service through difficult budget battles each year. He had a wicked sense of humor, one year sending out Christmas cards of him sitting on Santa’s lap with the title, “I’ll talk to anyone about the Coast Guard budget.” He also increased the Coast Guard’s emphasis on the military/naval capabilities of the service. He added armament and naval warfare systems to the Coast Guard’s major cutter fleet, which included the Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), and other combat weapons and sensors that paved the way for cutters to sail and train with joint naval forces throughout the world. He led the Coast Guard’s War on Drugs and significantly reduced the flow of illegal drugs into the country. Admiral Yost led the Coast Guard through some of the most significant natural disasters in our nation’s history, including the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, AK, Loma Prieta Earthquake, and Hurricanes Gilbert and Hugo. Admiral Yost also served as the Commander of the Atlantic Area, Commander Maritime Defense Zone Atlantic and Commander Third Coast Guard District in New York City; and was the Commanding Officer of the USCG Cutter RESOLUTE based in San Francisco, CA. In addition to his Bachelor of Science degree from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in 1951, he also earned two Masters’ degrees. The first in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut in 1959, the other in International Affairs from George Washington University, Washington, DC in 1964. He was also a graduate of the Naval War College at Newport, RI in 1964. While attending school and working fulltime, he never studied on Sunday or turned down an assignment in the Church and always made family his top priority.

Upon his retirement from the Coast Guard, Admiral Yost was appointed as the inaugural President of The James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation, where he served for 20 years. The Foundation provides scholarships to secondary school teachers, in every state and in some U.S. territories to receive a Master’s degree with a focus of helping teachers to become scholars of the United States Constitution.

Paul loved Jan and was a devoted husband and father. Jan would often meet him at the door when he returned from work, car keys in hand, so she could have a much-needed sanity break. He took over cooking Sunday dinners, encouraged Jan to finish her education, and reveled in her talents and achievements. He stood as a loving sentinel as they navigated her loss of memory during the last decade of her life. Even when she had lost the capacity to counsel with him, he still sought her approval on matters big and small. In all things they were united, never divided, even in death. Time could not hold him long from her side, as he grieved the loss of her with a broken heart and an unwavering commitment to honor her in death as he did in life.

Paul was a wonderful father, grandfather, great grandfather, and mentor. His children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren loved to hear his sea stories and reveled in his teasing. He was a man of great faith, a friend, and an example throughout his life. He sought after “the one” and ministered to them where they were in the moment. He had a way of connecting with people, interacting with them on an individual level, seeing their potential, encouraging their heart, and offering hope, wisdom, and insight. He was an avid tennis player and loved playing with his grandchildren.

While there is sadness in Paul’s passing there is no sorrow for he died in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Paul is profoundly missed by his children, extended family, and those who knew and loved him. He is survived by his five children: Linda (Mark) Barrand, Chip (Mary Ann), David, Lisa (Peter) Galvin, and Christopher (Michelle), eleven grandchildren, and nineteen great-grandchildren, his brother, Larry (Jackie), and was preceded in death by wife Jan and his parents.

The family received friends on Monday, March 28th, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Potomac Chapel on 11700 Falls Road, Potomac, MD. A funeral service was held for Paul and Jan on Tuesday, March 29th, at 9:00 am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Washington D.C. Stake Center on 10000 Stoneybrook Drive, Kensington, MD 20895 (next to the Washington D.C. Temple). A burial service was held at the Arlington National Cemetery at 1:00 pm.

Funeral arrangements are being handled by Pierce Funeral Homes.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for the City of Manassas Park, Prince William County, Virginia, Case No. 21-03-1049P. The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. The FIRM and, if applicable, the FIS report have been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/ fhm/BFE_Status/bfe_main.asp , or call the FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).
