Northam delays re-openings until May 15 Governor extends order closing gyms, restaurants, salons one week By Daniel Berti
Times sTaff WriTer
Gov. Ralph Northam announced Monday that Virginia will likely begin phase one of the state’s re-opening on Friday, May 15, provided the state continues to see a downward trend in COVID-19 health impacts. Northam said the administration is extending Executive Order 53, which restricted certain businesses and banned gatherings of 10 more, until May
Phase one looks like this: • • • • • •
Gatherings limited to 10 Continued social distancing Continued teleworking Face coverings recommended in public Limits eased on business, faith communities ‘Safer at home’ – especially for vulnerable people
14, giving the administration an additional 10 days to determine if the state is ready to enter phase one. The order had been set to expire on Friday, May 8. Northam emphasized that the administration “wants to see a downward trend in the percent of cases that are hospitalized over 14 days.”
During phase one, the state will begin easing some restrictions on businesses and faith communities while other restrictions remain in place. The ban on gatherings of 10 or more people will remain, as will current teleworking and social distancing guidelines. Northam said phase one will allow restaurants, retail, fitness, personal care, grooming and entertainment businesses to reopen, provided they follow state guidelines -- including maintaining physical distancing and enhancing workplace safety and cleaning practices.

Kate Edwards, a post-anesthesia care unit nurse at Novant Health/UVA Haymarket Medical Center, took to the facility’s roof with seven fellow nurses to wave to the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds who honored health care workers and first responders with a special flyover on Saturday, May 2. Edwards said the tribute “felt like we had all achieved rock-star/professional athlete status.” “It was an honor and a privilege to be on the roof representing our entire health care team,” she said. “It was also humbling to look out at the sea of cars in the parking lot filled with community members who were honking their horns, clapping and cheering for us.”

$29 A/C Safety Inspection (extended to 5/31)
Seven residents of a Manassas assisted living facility have died as a result of an outbreak of COVID-19 that has so far sickened 16 people, including 11 residents and five staff members. Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor, 7750 Garner Drive in Manassas, informed residents and their family members in letters this week that 11 residents, including four in assisted living and seven in memory care, had tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Among the 11 residents, seven had died of COVID-19 as of Monday, May 4, according to the most recent letter, which was obtained by the Prince William Times. Judd Harper, president of the Atlanta, Georgia-based Arbor Company, which operates Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor, confirmed the outbreak in a statement Monday.

ASSISTED LIVING, from page 1 Harper said Arbor Terrace at Sudley Manor had taken several measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as state and local officials in an attempt to avoid an outbreak. Still, like thousands of other senior-living facilities across the U.S., Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor was unable to escape the pandemic. “Despite having a pandemic plan in place and our heightened efforts as the situation has evolved, this is a disease that disproportionately impacts the elderly and those with severe underlying medical conditions,” Harper said. “We are navigating uncharted waters caring for those most at risk, and our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who is impacted.” Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor received testing kits from the Prince William Health District and tested all residents and staff, Harper said in his statement. The facility also screened all staff and residents for symptoms of COVID-19 daily, required the “use of [personal protective equipment] by all staff and residents, enhanced cleaning procedures … and require[ed] residents to quarantine in their residences,” Harper said. Harper also said the facility has updated residents and their family members regularly through written notices as well as a dedicated COVID-19 page on its website.
Other Arbor Company facilities report cases, deaths
According to the Virginia Department of Social Services, Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor, which has a capacity of 82 residents, had no reported complaints since at least 2016 and had no violations in its most recent state inspection, which occurred in 2018. But Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor is not the only assisted facility run by the Arbor Company to report COVID-19 cases and deaths. The company operates 40 assisted living facilities in 11 states. As of Monday, the Arbor Terrace Cascade, in Atlanta, has had 67 COVID-19 cases among residents and staff and 17 deaths, according to the RE-OPENING, from page 1 Northam said businesses will have to establish policies to keep co-workers and customers physically separated and will operate at a lower capacity. Businesses must have clear signs to communicate the rules. Northam said it may mean wearing face coverings at work. Northam said routine cleaning and disinfecting of hard surfaces would also be required to protect workers, and workplaces would be required to set schedules that allow for short breaks so workers can wash their hands frequently. “You can go out to eat again, but restaurants will use less of their seating so they can spread people out more. Employees will wear face coverings and they’ll do more cleaning,” Northam said. “We anticipate phase one could last about three weeks, consistent with CDC guidelines,” Northam said. Northam said phase two would also last about three weeks, provided the state’s health data continues to support it. Phase two will ease the restriction on gatherings to 50 or more people and continue the stay-at-home order only for vulnerable populations. It will also further ease restrictions on businesses while keeping teleworking and social distancing guidelines in place. “In phase two, we’ll continue to ease restrictions if we see our num-

Three families filed a lawsuit against the facility alleging it failed to take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among residents and staff, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Arbor Company facilities in Illinois, Maryland and New Jersey have also reported COVID-19 cases and deaths, according to records in each of those states. Like Virginia, however, some of the states where Arbor Company facilities operate do not release the names of individual long-term care facilities where outbreaks and deaths have occurred.
Long-term care facilities hit hard by pandemic
Individuals that reside in long-term care facilities are among the most vulnerable to the coronavirus, given their close living quarters and underlying health conditions, according to the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation, which recently reported that 4,000 such facilities have so far accounted for at least 51,000 COVID-19 cases and about 10,000 deaths across the U.S. COVID-19 outbreaks have so far been reported at seven long-term care facilities in Prince William County, including at Birmingham Green, in Manas-
bers trend downward,” Northam said. To move to phase three, Northam said, “We’re looking for no evidence of rebound for a sustained period of time.” Northam said Virginia’s current restrictions and stay-at-home order had effectively “flattened the curve” of COVID-19 and that hospitals had not been overwhelmed by sick patients. The state has also made progress in securing more personal protective equipment and expanded its testing capabilities, Northam said. Additionally, Virginia Health Commissioner Dr. Norm Oliver said the Virginia Department of Health plans to ramp up the state’s contact tracing “over the next week or two,” by deploying around 1,000 people to work as contact tracers in the commonwealth, a key component of the state’s strategy to reopen. But even as the state has seen progress in its COVID-19 response, Northam continued to urge caution. “I want to make it very clear. This virus is still here. It has not gone away, and it will not go away until we have a vaccination. That may be hopefully at the end of this year or another year or two,” Northam said. Even as the state moves toward easing some restrictions, Northam said, “we must continue to behave more cautiously than before. We must not relax.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com
sas; Lake Manassas Health and Rehabilitation, in Gainesville; and now at Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor. Those are known to the public only because residents or their family members contacted the local press. Because Virginia’s privacy laws treat facilities as individuals, VDH officials say they cannot release the names of facilities with outbreaks. As a result, the other four long-term care facilities with outbreaks in the county are so far not publicly known. Across Virginia, there had been 2,766 COVID-19 cases and 382 deaths – about 55% of the state’s total -- tied to outbreaks at long-term care centers as of Monday, May 4, according to the VDH website. State officials formed a long-term care facility task force about three weeks ago after 45 residents died after a COVID-19 outbreak at the Canterbury Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Richmond. A spokesman for Arbor Terrace Sudley Manor declined to say whether the task force had assisted the facility with the outbreak, but Dr. Alison Ansher, director of the Prince William County Health District, said her office has reached out to all the long-term care facilities in the county since the pandemic began to offer preventative guidance and information about infection control. Additionally, as needed, the health district trained long-term care facility staff on properly fitting face masks and provided PPE as it became available, Ansher said in an email. “If particular facilities need help with obtaining sampling kits and testing, we provide that support, too,” she added. As of Tuesday, 36 residents of Prince William County had died of COVID-19, including 29 who were age 60 or older. They included 10 residents between the ages of 60 and 69, nine between the ages of 70 and 79 and 10 over the age of 80. Because of Virginia’s privacy laws, however, it’s not known how many died as a result of outbreaks in long-term care facilities. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

Public defenders’ office survives budget freeze By Daniel Berti
Times sTaff WriTer
Even as the Virginia state government has halted most new spending for the upcoming fiscal year, plans for a new public defenders’ office for Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park are moving forward. The state is providing $5.4 million in funding for the new office over the next two years for 35 full-time positions, including 24 attorneys. Public defenders’ offices are state-funded and staffed by attorneys who provide legal representation to individuals who can’t afford a lawyer. Prince William County is the largest locality in Virginia and the only jurisdiction in Northern Virginia that does not have a public defenders’ office. Until now, the county has relied on court-appointed attorneys to provide legal representation for individuals who can’t afford an attorney. In the fiscal 2021 budget they adopted Tuesday, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors included a 15% salary supplement for the attorneys who will be hired to work in the office at a cost of $350,000. The boost in salary will make attorneys’ salaries more competitive with
other Northern Virginia localities. Maria Jankowski, deputy executive director for Virginia Indigent Defense Commission, said a location has not yet been decided on for new Prince William office, but said it will likely be located near the Prince William courthouse in downtown Manassas. Jankowski said the VIDC has not yet hired a chief public defender to lead the office. Once the chief defender is hired, she said, the commission will begin hiring the rest of the staff for the new office, and the chief defender will weigh in. “I feel confident saying that by July 1, we’ll know who the chief will be and where the office will be located,” Jankowski said. Rev. Clyde Ellis, of Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement, a grassroots organization that has pushed to create and fund a public defenders’ office in Prince William, said it will provide better representation for indigent individuals than the current system. “The poor quality of representation for low-income people in Prince William courts is a huge driver of inequality in our justice system. The current system of court-appointed attorneys simply is not working,” Ellis said. Ellis added that a new public defenders’ office will likely lead to a reduction in overcrowding in the local jail.

36,000 local unemployment claims filed in 6 weeks By Daniel Berti
Times sTaff WriTer
Since the COVID-19 crisis forced businesses to close or cut back staff in mid-March, local residents have filed more than 36,000 initial unemployment claims, according to the latest unemployment data from the Virginia Employment Commission. The number of unemployment claims filed peaked in the beginning of April and has fallen each week since. But the number is still sky high compared to the same time last year. In Prince William County, a total of 33,294 unemployment claims were filed between March 8 and April 25. For the week ending April 25, the latest week available, the number of weekly claims filed totaled about 4,500. In the City of Manassas, a total of 3,170 unemployment claims were filed between March 8 and April 25. For the week ending April 25, the latest week available, weekly claims filed totaled about 400. Statewide, there are 341,000 Virginians with continuing unemployment claims as of April 25. Continuing claims refer to unemployed people who have already filed a claim and are continuing to receive weekly benefits. The number of unemployment claims filed does not take into ac-
3
count the number of people whose hours may have been reduced or who have received pay cuts since the crisis began. Additionally, the figures may not reflect the number of undocumented workers who have lost their jobs. Most undocumented individuals are barred from receiving unemployment benefits. Prince William County’s total undocumented population is estimated to be around 37,000, according to the Migration Policy Institute. In Northern Virginia, the highest numbers of unemployment claims filed have been recorded in the food service sector, where more than 27,000 unemployment claims have been filed. Personal care jobs, such hairstylists, childcare workers and home health aides, have also seen high numbers of unemployment claims. Young and female workers have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 layoffs in late March, said VEC economist Timothy Aylor, in a Thursday press release. Other groups – older workers, male workers, and those in other minority groups – have grown slightly as a share of unemployment filings in recent weeks. The number of continued unemployment claims in the Prince William area numbers about 21,000 as of April 25, or about 7% of the area’s total workforce. The total labor force in Prince William County and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park totals about 282,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

GUEST OPINION
Prince William County budget funds robust COVID-19 response As our community grapples with a global pandemic, the scale of which we have not seen in a century, we’ve been forced to wrestle with loss in all its forms: loss of life, loss of health (and health insurance), loss of income, loss of certainty, loss of touch, loss of time. Our schedules, budgets, relationships, and routines have all been disrupted. Weddings have been postponed; graduation ceremonies canceled, and funerals are conducted online, if at all. Our bestlaid plans have gone awry -- put on pause or crushed completely. COVID-19 is a shared trauma, and every type of loss is valid to feel. It has forced us to re-examine our lives and our priorities. It has been said that COVID-19 is not so much a great equalizer as a great revealer. It’s exposed great inequities in our country and our county; it’s hit low-wage workers, people of color, people with pre-existing health conditions, the homeless, and the elderly harder than the rest of us. The imbalance does not end there. Millennials (who already suffered one recession and should be approaching peak earning years) and women (who are more likely to bear the brunt of child care) are likely to take the hardest hits to their careers. The virus has shown us just how close to the edge many people live, but it has also shown us the generosity of our community as many have responded. When an uncontained catastrophe brings an economy to its knees, government must transform itself to meet extraordinary need. A global pandemic is cause for government to rise, rather than retreat. Now more than ever, we must serve the people who entrusted us with the power to lead. The newly passed county budget is a true reflection of our ability to adapt in a crisis. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors allotted nearly $4 million to provide additional resources to the community in response to COVID-19. Highlights include: Food: $200,000 has been set aside to establish a Community Feeding Task Force to help those who are struggling to access enough food. The task force is a partnership among Prince William County; ACTS; the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park; and the Prince William County Community Foundation. A temporary warehouse serves as the nucleus for food distribution to the more than 40 charities and other partners across the county serving as distribution
ANN B. WHEELER CHAIR PWC BOARD OF SUPERVISORS sites. In April alone, the task force distributed over 200,000 pounds of food. To find the closest distribution site to collect food or make a donation, review this map. Housing: The Board set aside $500,000 to address housing. Those struggling to pay rent can apply for assistance through the Housing Emergency Aid program. Funding was also designated for emergency shelter services, telephone reassurance, and food for those who lack housing during this crisis. Homeless community members who have tested positive for or been exposed to COVID-19, or who are at higher risk should they contract it (those who are 60 or older or have an underlying medical condition) are eligible to be temporarily placed in motels. To get connected to housing programs, contact the Coordinated Entry System at 703-792-3366. Small business relief: The small business relief fund, which will use up to $1 million in existing economic development funding, will support businesses whose needs are not met by the federal Small Business Association loan program. Until then, you may schedule a free one-on-one business consultation with a Department of Economic Development staff member by calling 703-792-5510. Child and adult protective services: The Board set aside $200,000 for child and adult protective services. Children and vulnerable adults are particularly at risk during a period of social distancing, potentially leaving them trapped around the clock with abusers who are under heightened stress. If you suspect a child or an adult is in danger, report it to the Department of Social Services at 703-792-4200. Local government is the body closest to the people, as we deliver vital human services daily. I am pleased by the Board’s decision to fund a robust COVID-19 response, and I encourage anyone in need of support to contact my office at 703-792-4640. We will get through this together, Prince William, because we are #princewilliamstrong. The writer, a Democrat, is the at-large chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Masroor Mosque offers food pantry One aspect of my life as a Muslim that has changed is not being able to go attend programs at my mosque. But even then, it is important for me to fulfill the duties of my religion. In fact, it is now more than ever when I must act upon my faith, as the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of God be upon him) preached, “One who is not faithful to mankind is not grateful to God,” and as such Muslims are to be of service to their communities when they are in need. In the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, we have partnered with Humanity First USA, a humanitarian relief organization, to provide the necessities for households that earn
under $50,000/year. The Masroor Mosque in Manassas is distributing these items weekly for northern Virginia households, and orders can be placed on weekdays via this link: https://usa.humanityfirst. org/masroor-mosque-food-pantry/. Moreover, as Ramadan approaches, Muslims will be increasing their contributions towards charity towards the less fortunate members of their communities and I encourage all my fellow Americans to do the same and help provide for their neighbors as we live through these difficult times.

Pandemic offers another reason to switch to plant-based meats Massive slaughterhouse closures are driving U.S. consumers to plant-based meat products, as sick workers pay the price. Tyson Foods, JBS USA and Smithfield Foods, the largest meat processors, have closed 17 plants, devastating rural communities and threatening the nation’s meat supply. Production is already down by 25 percent. In reaction, U.S. sales of plantbased meats surged by 265%, according to consumer data group Nielsen. Shares of Beyond Meat, a prominent plant-based meat brand, rallied by 60%. A Washington Post investigation found that coronavirus outbreaks in more than 48 U.S. meat packing plants have sickened at least
3,300 workers and killed 17. The companies failed to provide adequate protective gear to the workers and forced some with COVID-19 symptoms to keep working. USA Today reports that more than 150 of the largest plants in the U.S. operate in counties with the highest rate of coronavirus infection. In addition to the generally accepted consumer health argument for avoiding animal food products, the pandemic has now added the worker health element. Production of plant-based meats requires much less labor and allows for ample physical distancing. We can all support the switch to healthy food on our next visit to our supermarket.

Plea for essential workers to wear masks I’m hoping the community can put pressure on Harris Teeter to provide masks and gloves for their employees. As of two days, ago a vast majority of shoppers were
masked and gloved, but not a single employee. A big risk for all of us. Thank you. SUSAN GENDRON Warrenton

Crop of promising Battlefield players felt like little brothers to coach Bullock By Peter Brewington Times sTaff WriTer
Featuring a The Prince Division 1 recruit William Times and two other seniors going to looks at athletes nearby Shenan- affected by the coronavirus. doah University, the Battlefield boys soccer team was set to bring its usual firepower to the pitch this spring. Second-year coach Cedric Bullock was as excited as his players, if not more so. He had plenty of team bonding events planned, including a trip to a bowling alley, as he continued making his imprint on the Bobcats’ traditionally successful program. “When they said everything was shut down (due to COVID-19), my heart felt for the kids. The senior parents are also shut out. They trusted me with their sons and believed in what I was doing,” said Bullock. “We planned more team gatherings than last year. The season is not just the games, it’s treating the team like a family,” said Bullock, who was named Cedar Run Coach of the Year in his rookie season. A former Clemson and James Madison University midfielder, Bullock takes pride in his ability to share his experiences as a D-1 recruit and player. Bullock, 28, who lives in Haymarket, works for a federal consulting firm and is pursuing his MBA at American University. He’s able to leave his job at 2 p.m. to make it to practice, although he’s now working at home. “I love what I do. I’m close enough in age where these kids are my youngest brother’s age. I want to help them mature and grow up,” he said. Battlefield’s key seniors include Johann Bachman (going to Radford), Zac Salazar and Nick Como (both Shenandoah). Bullock joined Como on his recruiting trip to Shenandoah and felt Salazar also made a wise choice in choosing to play in nearby Winchester for Hornets’ coach Zack MacDougall. A first team all-Cedar Run forward last year, Salazar also considered D-1 Georgia Southern and others before committing to Shenandoah in September 2019. “Zac could play D-1 if he wanted to,” said Bullock, “but he thought Shenandoah was a better fit. He’s creative on the ball and can break down defenders,” Bullock said. The fleet Como is dangerous as “a flying outside back. He’s quick and fast, one of the fastest players I’ve seen. He knows what to do on the ball and he’s got an unreal free kick. His free kick is special,” Bullock said. Due to club duty, Bachman did not

play for Battlefield last year, but he was set to be the team’s playmaking midfielder this year. Seeing him for the first time, Bullock was impressed with Bachman’s determination and talent. “He’s an unbelievable kid. He’s a ‘Watch-me-work’ kind of kid,” he said. While the VHSL has left the door open for some random games in July if the COVID-19 threat subsides, Bullock prefers to stay safe and not play. “I don’t think it will be smart to do that. The death toll is still rising. If a second wave hits, why take a chance by hosting a couple of games? I think the sports world can wait,” said Bullock. But he still feels sad for everyone involved. “This group was going to be special. It’s kind of sad for all of our managers as well,” said Bullock, praising managers Olivia Dennison, Kate Bianchi, Elizabeth Manning and Michaela Dolph.

Eleanor Faaborg and her mom, Ashley, relax on the patio behind their Warrenton home.
‘People just need a routine’ One family’s approach to schooling at home By Coy Ferrell
Times Staff Writer
Ashley Faaborg is an elementary school assistant principal, so she knows a thing or two about creating an environment conducive to learning. Since the beginning of the pandemic, she has worked from home and tried to create a structure and routine for her two young children, Ethan, 9, and Eleanor, 5, and husband, Paul, as they navigate a new reality at their home in a Warrenton subdivision. Ethan, who is in third grade, and Eleanor, a kindergartener, both attend Weems Elementary in Manassas where their mom works. Getting them motivated to do their assigned classwork – about an hour a day – and other enriching activities has sometimes been a challenge, said Ashley Faaborg, but it’s been manageable overall. Especially for Ethan, she said, having a goal, accomplishing that goal and earning something for it is important. When the schools closed, “I went to Walmart and I just bought a bunch of cheap prizes,” she said. She has a star system – 10 stars and you get a prize – to help the kids stay engaged in their progress, and they try to stick to the

daily schedule that is posted on the refrigerator. Ethan is an early riser, and he loves to play Minecraft. If he reads an hour at night, he can play an hour of Minecraft the next morning. “That’s been a big motivator for him,” Faaborg said. He’s read six chapter-books so far during the school closures – the “I Survived” series is his favorite right now – earning him some Minecraft time in the mornings. Faaborg said that Eleanor is motivated more by relationships – it’s important for Eleanor to show her teacher that she is finishing assignments and understanding material. After the kids work on reading and math assignments in the mornings, Faaborg said she tries to have a different arts and craft project for the kids to look forward to. “When I found out all this was happening, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I need more arts and crafts!’” she said. The craft projects don’t have to be elaborate or significantly different every day, just different enough to keep things fresh and interesting. Especially when the weather is nice, the kids spend most of their days playing outside in the fenced-in backyard, Faaborg said, with occasional breaks for a television show or another activity. Sometimes they watch a movie as a family after Dad gets home. Surprisingly, she said, the amount of time the kids spend in front of a screen has reduced since schools closed, since the kids have more energy

Plus, she said, the kids have become closer as siblings, incorporating each other into their respective worlds in ways that they didn’t before schools closed. “They’ll go play for half an hour – I feel like that didn’t happen before,” she said. In the end, the most important thing has been establishing a structure to each day. Ethan has a specific chair in his room where he reads each night. Eleanor always watches instructional material at the same laptop at a specific desk in their home’s activity room. “The biggest thing has been just having a routine,” Faaborg said. “People just need a routine. They need to feel secure.” Reach Coy Ferrell at cferrell@fauquier.com

Nancy Campbell Vernon Nancy Campbell Vernon died on Thursday, April 28th after a several year battle with Ovarian Cancer. Nancy was born August 14, 1952 to Joseph Frank and Veronica (Herguth) Campbell and raised in Ossining, New York. She is survived by her loving husband of 25 years, David Vernon; her children Christopher Bryan Campbell and Michael James Campbell (Sarah); her stepchildren Damian Michael Vernon (Betsy) and Melissa Danielle Beckett (Michael); her grandchildren Olivia Beckett, Aurora Beckett, Daniel Vernon, Elizabeth Vernon and Aubrey Campbell. Also surviving are siblings Mary Louise Wheeler (Richard), Thomas Campbell, Barbara Cafarelli (Ronald), Pamela Wood (Julian), Mark Campbell, Glenn Campbell and numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents she is pre-deceased by her niece Kathryn Wheeler, nephew Jack Crosby and sisters-in-law Cheryl Campbell and Roberta Crosby. Nancy had a successful career in budget and finance that began at IBM Marketing Headquarters in White Plains, NY. She was transferred to an IBM software development branch in Bethesda, MD as part of the team to establish the finance division. Eventually she left IBM due to downsizing and continued her financial career with the Federal Government in Washington, DC. She held several positions through the years to become the Budget Officer, and Senior Advisor on special communications projects within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) within The Department of Commerce. She was responsible for managing billion-dollar budgets during the Digital Conversion authorized by The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 and the First Responder Network Authority authorized by The Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2012. Nancy had many interests but two passions in life-Her family and gardening. Nancy prioritized family above all else. Through the years she made it back to NY every chance she could for visits and special occasions. In the spring she came up from Virginia with a trunk load of plants for her Mom’s garden which they planted together over the course of a week. She cherished the titles she carried: daughter, sister, Aunt, wife, Mom, Nana and friend. She was a Prince William Master Gardener trained in the class of 2005. She was the “bed head” for the Bee, Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden for a number of years at the Linton Hall Teaching Garden. She loved educating the public on establishing this type of habitat as well as helping schools in the area to do the same. Folks that knew her, knew if it was a bad stressful day, all you had to do was mention gardening and her face lit up and she could talk non-stop on the subject. She was never without plants on her deck that “needed to get in the ground.” Services are to be held on Tuesday, May 5th at Baker Post Funeral Home and burial following at Stonewall Memorial Gardens, Manassas, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made: OCRA – Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance Trinity Episcopal Church Food Ministry

William Earl Hazel William Earl Hazel, 80, of Buckland, Virginia passed away peacefully Sunday, April 26, 2020 at Novant Health UVA Health System Prince William Medical Center. Born on July 12, 1939 in Atlanta, Georgia to the late Evelyn and Samuel Hazel, Bill and his family lived in both Richmond, Virginia and Chattanooga, Tennessee prior to settling in Madison County, Virginia in the early 1950s. After graduating from Madison County High School in 1958, Bill spent two post-graduate years at Woodberry Forest School before matriculating to the University of Virginia, where he graduated with a degree in economics in 1964. As a student athlete he played on the varsity football team on both the offensive and defensive lines and was a proud and active member of the Kappa Alpha Order. Upon his graduation from Virginia, Bill applied his innate sales and marketing skills in different industries from assisting his father in the milk distribution business to successfully promoting and selling Ocean Spray product lines to grocery chains in the northeast corridor. Towards the end of his career, he joined his father and brother in heavy trucking equipment sales and distribution. Together they owned three successful outlets in northern Virginia. Beyond his career, Bill was a true Virginia Gentleman and was devoted to his Cavaliers. He rarely missed a home football game, loved a good tailgate and could usually be found at the “The Barn” enjoying the infamous prime rib dinner following the game. He also loved college hoops. He watched every game of the “Unbelievable” season when the Hoos won the national championship in 2019, something he never thought he’d see. As a proud member of the Culpeper Country Club, Bill was a natural storyteller and loved to sit on the front porch and spin yarns with those around him. If some oldies (especially songs from the Doo-Wop era) were playing in the background, so much the better. In addition to his parents, Bill is preceded in death by his wife Rose G. Hazel and his brother, James G. Hazel. He is survived by his children A. Darnell Abbott of Halifax, Virginia, William L. Hazel of Richmond, Virginia and Hillarye M. Nicely of Buckland, Virginia and six grandchildren. A private graveside service will be held in Fairview Cemetery in Culpeper, Virginia. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions to the Virginia Athletics Foundation, Post Office Box 400833, Charlottesville, Virginia 22904-4833.
