CASA to open new ‘welcome center’ in Woodbridge County pledges $2 million in COVID-19 relief funds to new facility offering job training, support to new residents By Cher Muzyk
Times Staff Writer
Martha Revelo, 28, of Lake Ridge, has been sick with COVID-19 three times. The first time, she caught it at work. The second time, her husband brought the virus home and then she got it a third time from her stepson. Revelo worked as a cashier throughout the pandemic, and each time she was sick, she missed multiple weeks of work -- all unpaid. Lost wages caused her family to struggle to afford food and other necessities. Throughout the pandemic, she leaned on CASA for help. CASA, a nonprofit that supports immigrants and working-class families, helped Revelo get health insurance, which allowed her to get the medical care she needed. She participated in telehealth appointments when she had COVID and now sees a primary care physician regularly. Without CASA’s help to se-

In addition to her husband and stepson contracting COVID, Revelo’s mother was also infected and now suffers from persistent heart problems. During the height of the pandemic, both Revelo’s family and her mother received food boxes from CASA to keep their families fed, she said. Revelo’s story is not unique. She is one of thousands of local residents who turned to CASA for help with health, financial and emotional hardships during the coronavirus pandemic. Between January and March See CASA, page 2

CASA to open new ‘welcome center’ in Woodbridge
A partnership with Microsoft to provide digital literacy training and various Microsoft certifications, including Office 365, is also planned, said Hank Montez, a project specialist with CASA Virginia. “We saw the need for essential workers to be very broad during the pandemic,” Aguilar said. CASA Virginia is “not reinventing the wheel. Welcome centers providing hands-on vocational training have been around in Maryland for nearly 30 years and are very successful,” he said. Aguilar said CASA Virginia hasn’t received any of the recently approved ARPA funds yet but is ready to put them to good use in the new vocational training facilities. The programs fall within the specific ARPA guidelines, and CASA plans to “look at the data” to measure the success of each. “Our planning is meticulous and record keeping is as organized as possible,” he said.
CASA, from page 1
2022 alone, more than 1,200 people sought services from CASA, said Maria Ovando, CASA Virginia’s manager of health and social services. “Our community was one of the hardest hit by COVID-19,” said Luis Aguilar, CASA Virginia’s state director. “We saw huge inequities in Manassas and other regions in Prince William County.” Local government alone cannot do enough to provide for community needs, he said, adding “That’s why CASA needs to step up.”
County supervisors’ vote
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors voted in June to dedicate $2 million of the more than $91 million the county received in American Rescue Plan Act funds to help CASA open and operate the new welcome center. The money came on top of a $5 million state grant for CASA the county board approved last September. CASA can use the money for both capital and operational expenses. The county board approved the latest grant in a party-line vote with all five Democratic supervisors voting in favor and Republican Supervisors Pete Candland (Gainesville) and Jeanine Lawson (Brentsville) voting against. Supervisor Yesli Vega (Coles) was absent for the vote. During the discussion before the vote, Lawson and Candland said they opposed the grant because of CASA’s past political support for Democrats. Supervisor Margaret Franklin D-Woodbridge, said she supports public investment in the welcome center, however, because CASA “transform[s] people’s lives with services that will benefit the community at large.” “I can’t stress enough how important the welcome center is, especially knowing this county’s history and how we treat our immigrant population, not just from the Hispanic community but from all immigrant communities in the past,” said Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan. “Creating a space where immigrants feel welcomed as opposed to marginalized … is why I’ve been a big supporter of this welcome center.” To scale up to meet the needs of the community, CASA Virginia purchased a $6 million, 29,000-square-foot building in Woodbridge last December for the new welcome center. The building offers space for classrooms, vocational workspaces, offices and meeting rooms. The building sits on just over 3 acres. The Woodbridge location will be CASA’s first in Virginia. Maryland has eight welcome centers, Aguilar said. CASA Virginia’s annual operating budget for the welcome center will be about $1 million a year

with 90% paying staff salaries. Its staff is ramping up to process what Aguilar expects will be a deluge of clients when the welcome center opens in August. AmeriCorps volunteers are being trained to conduct intake interviews with clients to determine what services CASA can provide, Aguilar said.
New services
In addition to CASA’s core services – which include health clinics, legal clinics, English language classes and after school programs for high school students -- the welcome center will also offer a wide range of vocational training. CASA Virginia has teamed up with several local labor unions, including IBEW Local 26, NoVa Labor Federation and KML Carpenters, to provide pre-apprenticeship training in the construction trades at the welcome center, Aguilar said. The program will serve anyone who is interested in a career in any of the construction trades. Pre-apprenticeship programs will provide beginning blueprint reading, math classes and safety training and then progress to hands-on classes, Aguilar said. CASA Virginia is also partnering with Northern Virginia Community College’s workforce development to launch a certified nursing assistant training program at the welcome center, Ovando said.
Outreach
CASA Virginia’s services are available to anyone who needs them and are in especially high demand now as working-class communities continue to struggle with significant hardships caused by the pandemic and its economic fallout, Aguilar said. “We have the flexibility to implement programming that the government can’t act fast enough to provide,” he added. Being on the ground in the community during the pandemic, CASA saw the community needs change and moved swiftly to fulfill them. “We stood up a food bank and door-to-door food box delivery service in just two weeks,” Aguilar said. CASA Virginia also vaccinated 921 people against COVID-19 at a single vaccination event in April 2021 at Todos Supermarket in Woodbridge after calling each person and educating them on the benefits of the vaccine and assisting them with vaccine access. “We are providing social services but in a really modern way,” Aguilar said. CASA will continue to make calls and knock on doors to let people know about the services available at the new CASA welcome center – just like CASA knocked on Aguilar’s door nearly a decade ago. At the time, Aguilar said he was living in Fairfax and didn’t know about CASA’s services in Maryland. He took two bus rides and a trip on the Metro to get to CASA’s office in Langley Park, where he received help to apply for DACA. The federal government’s “deferred action for childhood arrivals” program, now on hold, allowed those who immigrated to the U.S. as children to get driver’s licenses, social security numbers and work permits. After that, Aguilar began volunteering for CASA, and eventually it became his career, he said. “I have believed in the mission and the vision of CASA since I became a volunteer and began to understand the inequities in the community – but I also learned that there is power in community.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@fauquier.com

County announces fix to library AC after residents turn up the heat By Cher Muzyk
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County’s Haymarket Gainesville Community Library hasn’t had a properly working heating and air conditioning system for about two years. But recently, the rising temperatures – combined with underperforming temporary air-conditioning units – had patrons turning up the heat on local officials to find a solution. Among them was Dr. Aman Fatima, who lives in Haymarket and takes her 2-year-old to the library. After visiting the library last week and noticing it was “really hot,” Fatima took to social media to sound the alarm. As a physician, Fatima said she knows air-conditioning is a “basic necessity” at the library and expressed concern about young children and elderly residents, both of whom are at greater risk for overheating. She wrote about the situation in a local moms’ Facebook group and encouraged members to reach out to county officials. The effort received an “overwhelming” response, she said. By the end of the day, Gainesville District Supervisor Pete Candland, Prince William County public works officials and the Prince William Public Library system had issued statements explaining why the library was so hot and assuring residents that help is coming -- albeit not right away. The library is installing a new heating and cooling system, but it won’t be finished until October. The timing is the result of the need to design and rebuild the entire system. It’s also expected that parts could take longer than usual because of supply-chain issues.
In the meantime, the county will add additional temporary systems to help bring the temperatures down, said Matthew F. Villareale, the county’s director of facilities, said in a statement. “You know, a building that size, you don’t just go out and buy a new air conditioner. It’s quite a process, Prince William Public Library System Director Deborah Wright said in an interview the Prince William Times. Although most residents only recently learned of the library’s plight, the situation has been simmering since 2020. That’s when the library, which was only five years old at the time, began having problems with its heating and air conditioning system. But due to COVID-19 restrictions, the building was mostly closed until the spring of 2021. When it fully reopened, the county installed four temporary air conditioning units, which worked well enough that most patrons didn’t notice much of a difference, Wright said. But “the situation has deteriorated,” Wright said, explaining that repairs were attempted but were unsuccessful. Now that the temporary cooling units are nearing “the end of their life;” they are “just not sufficient right now,” she added, noting that library staff started hearing a lot of complaints from patrons over the last few days. Wright said the library knew the lack of air conditioning was going to be a problem this summer and decided not to plan the regular schedule of summer programming. The large community meeting room at the front of the library, which has two walls made of glass, can’t be used at all, Wright said.
SUBMITTED
A temporary air-conditioning unit brought in to cool the Haymarket Gainesville Library until a more permanent fix is complete. “We said, ‘We have to cancel these programs; we can’t have people coming in this kind of temperature.’ So, we had a full summer plan and then we stopped. We just kind of headed it off at the pass,” she said. Since then, the library has had to close “a couple times,” because of the heat, Wright said. The “goal is of course not to impact the community negatively, but we also have to monitor their comfort level and staff comfort level,” she added.

County Chair Ann Wheeler faces recall over investments tied to data center firms WHEELER, from page 1 Concerns about Wheeler’s financial investments in technology firms involved in data centers have been voiced in recent weeks by opponents of the Prince William Digital Gateway – a controversial proposal to open the county’s rural crescent to a major data center complex along Pageland Lane and adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield Park. On her most recent financial disclosure form, filed in January, Wheeler listed a total of about $1.4 to $8.5 million in stock and mutual fund investments. Of that, between $185,000 and $900,000 were investments in companies with some connection to data centers. (Wheeler’s exact investments are not disclosed because the form lists investments in ranges – such as $5,000 to $50,000 and $50,000 to $250,000 – rather than precise amounts.) After two residents questioned her investments during the June 28 board of supervisors meeting, Wheeler issued a statement saying she sold her stock in Blackstone, Inc., which has direct ties to the Prince William Digital Gateway rezonings. Blackstone, Inc. is the parent company of QTS, which operates a data center in Manassas and is one of two data center developers seeking to build data centers in the Pageland Lane corridor. Wheeler held between $50,000 and $250,000 in shares in the company.
In her statement, Wheeler said she sold the stock not because she believes it violated Virginia’s conflict of interest law, but rather to address residents’ concerns about financial impropriety as the county board considers major land-use decisions involving data centers in the coming months. “While my ownership of this stock did not rise to the level of a conflict of interest as defined by the state statute – and in no way would have affected my evaluation of any projects before the board – to put to rest any doubt in the minds of anyone who has a concern, my husband and I have divested ourselves of any interest in the Blackstone Fund,” the statement said. Those behind the recall effort said Wheeler’s announcement about selling some of her data center stock was insufficient. “The damage is done. Wheeler’s past ownership, while she was taking action on the Prince William Digital Gateway and expanding the [data center] overlay can’t be undone,” said Elena Schlossberg, executive director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, in a press release. “Citizens refuse to accept ‘cookie jar ethics’ of Wheeler and [Supervisor Pete] Candland, who only react when their hand is caught in the cookie jar,” she added. The effort to recall Wheeler comes two weeks after the same group launched a signature-collect-
®
ing campaign to recall Candland, R-Gainesville, for his involvement in the Prince William Digital Gateway. Candland and his wife, Robyn, signed a contract in October 2021 to sell their home to data center developer Compass if the county board approves the proposal. Compass submitted an application to rezone 825 acres in the Pageland Lane corridor to allow for new data centers. Because of his direct involvement in the deal, Candland has been advised by Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth (D) that he must recuse himself from voting on the PW Digital Gateway or any other related issues involving data centers in the area. The petition seeking his recall accuses Candland of misusing his office by taking part in board votes and closed session discussions about issues related to data centers after he signed the contract. Wheeler told the Prince William Times last week she has not yet sought a formal opinion on whether her personal investments in firms involved in data centers constitute a “personal financial interest” under the Virginia State and Local Government Conflict of Interest Act. Under the state law, elected officials deemed to have a personal financial interest related to a county transaction, such as a rezoning, must state their interest publicly or recuse themselves from votes under some circumstances. Mark Flynn, an attorney who is an
expert in Virginia’s conflict of interest law, said Wheeler’s investments are unlikely to rise to the threshold of a personal financial interest unless she earns more than $5,000 in annual income from a firm directly related to a land-use decision before the board. At the press conference, recall supporters expressed frustration with Wheeler’s efforts to open the rural crescent for development, which they say will result in industrial and residential sprawl that will change the county’s rural areas and prove detrimental to the Occoquan Reservoir watershed and the environment. They also said they worry the development will trigger the need for unpopular transportation upgrades such as the Bi-County Parkway. “We see where she has … invested all this money for herself,” said Gary O’Brien, a resident of the Coles District. “We want supervisors who will support the people. There’s been survey after survey that say, overwhelmingly, that Prince William County residents do not want the Bi-County Parkway. They want the rural crescent, and they want to protect the ecology of the nation, for that matter.” As has been the case for months, several residents spoke both in support and in opposition to the Prince William Digital Gateway during citizens’ time at the July 12 board of supervisors meeting.

4 hospitalized after bus crash in Woodbridge Four people were injured and transported to a local hospital Tuesday afternoon after an OmniRide bus crashed into a commercial sign outside the Potomac Festival shopping center in Woodbridge. The crash occurred at about 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12, when the bus collided with a vehicle pulling out of the Comfort Suites hotel on Potomac Mills Road. The vehicle struck the bus on the driver’s side. The bus driver tried to avoid the accident and struck the sign, according to Christine Rodrigo, an OmniRide spokeswoman. Four people were injured and transported to the hospital by ambu-
lance as a result of the crash. They included three people on the bus -the driver and two passengers -- as well as the driver of the private vehicle, Rodrigo said in a press release. Because the sign is near a gas line, the Prince William County Fire Department responded to turn off gas in the area before moving the bus, the release said. “Preliminary information indicates that bus #292 on the Dale City Local route had just left the OmniRide Transit Center and was traveling northeast on Potomac Mills Road, just before the road changes names to Town Center Road, when the crash occurred,” the release said.

ers in the Gainesville District, while the petition to recall Wheeler must collect at least 11,209 from Prince William voters countywide. Meanwhile, the Prince William County Planning Commission is scheduled to have its first work session on the county staff’s draft plan for the Prince William Digital Gateway on Wednesday, July 20. Bill Wright, a Democrat and former supporter of Wheeler’s who lives in Heritage Hunt and opposes the Prince William Digital Gateway, said the group has so far collected “several hundred” signatures on the petition seeking to recall Candland. Wright said the group plans to work during the remaining summer months to circulate the petitions at various gatherings and events. Heritage Hunt recently approved a request to set up a signature collecting station in its clubhouse, Wright said. Collecting signatures so far has “been easy,” said Patrick Harders, a Republican and resident of the Gainesville District who said he was a strong supporter of Candland’s before he decided to sell his land for data centers. “I think a lot of people don’t like the look of corruption… the feel of corruption,” Harders said. Gainesville residents, he said, feel they are not being represented in board decisions about data centers now that Candland has had to recuse himself. “They say we do need a voice,” Harders said of petition signers. “We need someone who is going to stand up for the Gainesville District.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com
spoke in favor of the proposal, including some landowners who have signed contracts to sell their land to data center developers, argue that the Pageland Lane corridor is no longer rural and that data centers will generate millions in new tax revenues for county services. “There’s really no way to preserve something that isn’t here any longer,” said Elizabeth Nelson, who said she lives along Pageland Lane. “…The data centers are the obvious choice to best preserve the green. … Instead of having all of these farms sold off for hundreds of houses.”
Recall hurdles
The group’s effort to unseat both Candland and Wheeler faces considerable hurdles in Virginia law for recalling local elected officials, a process that can take months and is rarely successful. In Virginia, elected officials can only face a recall election if a circuit court judge finds sufficient evidence that they have neglected their duty, misused their office, acted incompetently or were convicted of a misdemeanor relating to drugs, a sex crime or a hate crime. To be considered by a judge, a recall petition must be signed a number of Prince William County registered voters that equals or exceeds 10% of the number of ballots cast in the last election during which the elected official subject to the recall won his or her seat. Accordingly, the petition seeking to recall Candland must collect at least 1,796 signatures from vot-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Supervisors seem to be rushing data center decisions. The question is: Why? Opponents of the Prince William Digital Gateway have spent eight months presenting evidence, rational arguments and reasonable alternatives to our board of county supervisors in an effort to get it to consider the significant risks and dubious benefits of this proposal. It seems to have had a negligible effect, not because those arguments were without merit, but because they pose inconvenient obstacles to minds made up long before the debate began. Attendees at board meetings have heard several variations of “don’t confuse me with the facts” and “let no good information stand in the way of a bad decision.” Chair Ann Wheeler makes it apparent that expedience trumps prudence, and the question is: Why? Doesn’t the board have an obligation to thoroughly conduct its due diligence before approving such an impactful project of unprecedented
magnitude? What unseen urgency justifies shortcutting that process? Anxious landowners? Impatient developers? Election calendars? When logical explanations elude us, skepticism fills the void. Marcellus, a character in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” may have been onto something when he observed: “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” The Turks say: “A fish rots from the head down.” But there’s no need for any such rot when responsible options are still open to us. Our elected officials just need to properly perform their prescribed duties and resist pressures to do otherwise. The Bible has a lesson for public servants who run roughshod over their constituents on the way to unexplained rewards: “Whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” BILL WRIGHT Gainesville
Don’t turn back the hands of time. Vote. The term pro-life sounds so pretty, doesn’t it? It speaks of dedication to all those supposed American ideals: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Motherhood and apple pie. Think of it, all those happily (or not) pregnant ladies (oops, girls?) busy with household chores and baking meals for the family, kissing hubby on the cheek as he sets out for work as the revered breadwinner of the family. This is the dream of those folks – let’s face it, mostly men – who have successfully maneuvered for decades to take away a woman’s right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Let’s not give them what they want, that is, to turn back the hands of time to an era where women had
little or no self-determination. Short of a sometimes deadly, and always dangerous, procedure to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, our predecessors were consigned to a life not of their choosing. As someone who has two adult children, I know what it is to be pregnant and to raise a family. For me, it was a joy because I was able to choose the right time in my life, and I was ready for motherhood. This is critical – because even when you’re ready, as other parents reading this letter will acknowledge – it is challenging. The challenges are emotional, physical, financial and practical.

Amazon Fresh’s ‘just walk out’ tech makes this shopper wary By Sondra Anzalone Contributing Writer
“Don’t touch” was my mantra during a recent visit to the new Amazon Fresh grocery store in Manassas. Apparently, if one of my three small children touched anything— and didn’t put it back exactly where it belonged—I’d be charged for it. I don’t need that stress. Granted, “Don’t touch anything” has been my mantra since the pandemic began, but this is almost less controllable. As if the fear of unauthorized purchases wasn’t anxiety inducing enough, the eyes in the sky were creeping me out. There were cameras and scanners everywhere. Just look up, and you’ll see one every 12 to 18 inches. At one point, I almost considered grabbing some aluminum foil for a tin hat. I took a deep breath and continued pushing the lime green shopping cart down the aisles. My 6- and 8-year-old had pleaded for the compact, two-level, fluorescent orange option, but it didn’t have a seat with leg holes for our toddler. For those who are curious about shopping carts, there’s no miniature-vehicle-shaped option like at other grocery stores. But Amazon Fresh’s carts have smartphone holders and flashy strips along the edge that help the store monitor purchases. The full-size shopping cart holds approximately 135 combined pounds of kids before feeling like it will tip over. The new Amazon Fresh grocery store in Manassas opened in June at 7807 Sudley Road, near the Sky Zone trampoline park. It is one of three Amazon Fresh stores opening in Northern Virginia this summer, and, at 45,000 square feet, it is the area’s largest. Other stores are opening in Lorton and Arlington. The Manassas store feels like a hybrid between a conventional grocery store and a warehouse; it’s definitely not like a Whole Foods Market, which is also owned by Amazon, despite some of its “365 brand” grocery items. During my visit around 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning, the hot foods stations were not yet open, and several specialty cold sections, such as the olive bar and seafood department, were closed. When I noticed the $4.97 rotisserie chicken station was empty, I made a mental note that I’ll keep buying the $4.99 rotisserie chicken at Costco down the street. It may be 2 cents more but at least it’s ready by 10 a.m. A friendly man was just starting to make sushi when I walked by. He made me miss the dine-in, mini restaurant options I love at Whole Foods Markets. Even if I did buy the freshly prepared sushi, there was no-
where to eat it in the store … unless you count the few tables with chairs outside that were occupied with what appeared to be a staff meeting. The bakery department was scant and remiss of the beautiful cakes and other confections found at the Whole Foods Market in Fairfax. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized the pre-packaged “fresh” brand of mini cupcakes my children coerced me into buying were six days past the sell-by date. When I saw that the “international, bean, and rice” aisle began with a row of Hamburger Helper, I lost hope that this store could compete with the real international stores a few blocks away. The $5.49 dragon fruit in the produce section did look fresh, though. The produce section reminded me of the nearby LIDL or ALDI whose fruits and vegetables remain in their original shipping containers. Amazon Fresh’s, however, are all the exact same size and color, leaving me to believe that these cardboard boxes are tied into the weight-sensing technology used within the shelving systems. The “beer, wine and spirits” section was sizable and well stocked. I’m not sure why “spirits” was on the sign though, as no liquor is available outside of Virginia ABC stores. Also, I’m also curious to know how they verified that I’m of legal drinking age when no ID was checked when I purchased a case of cold beer. The minimum age to have an Amazon Prime account is 18, according to their service agreement; this leaves an obvious age gap if the store is relying on its technology to keep underage consumers from buying alcohol. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not super-techy, but I was able to use my smartphone to generate the “instore code” from my Amazon app to easily enter and exit the store. As someone who still reviews paper statements in the mail, imagine my frustration when I didn’t see a grand total or receipt when I scanned to exit. I still can’t verify that I bought cold beer and expired cupcakes. (Yup, just beer and cupcakes.) Maybe I could’ve used the in-store “Ask Alexa” feature to figure it all out. When I asked for proof of purchase, the friendly gentleman at “walk out” said other customers had experienced similar frustration, and he handed me a $10 coupon for a future trip. I plan to use it during later store hours to try the hot prepared foods. Hopefully, they don’t disappoint because it’s the only thing that I would consider returning to try. There’s no other draw for me—the prices weren’t super competitive, and it was far from a worry-free ex-
perience. It seems Amazon Fresh’s selling point is “just walk out,” but they need more if they’re expecting folks to walk back in. According to an Amazon Fresh spokeswoman Laura Hayes, whom I contacted after my shopping trip, the store’s “standard protocol” is to have a store employee check customers’ identification when they enter the alcoholic beverages aisle. Also, she called the expired cupcakes “completely unacceptable” and offered a refund. Finally, the missing receipt should have been emailed to me or listed in the “your orders” section of the Amazon website, she said. The store’s hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. An Amazon returns center is available inside, and an electric vehicle charging station is opening soon outside the entrance. Delivery and drive-up are also available, like almost everywhere else now, thanks to COVID. If you would prefer to shop the traditional way (or don’t have an

BULLDOG BRANDON On the mound or at the plate, Colgan’s Cassedy was too hot to handle By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times
Meet Brandon Cassedy
As a pitcher, Colgan’s Brandon Cassedy went 9-1 with 96 strikeouts in 59.1 innings. He was also a big hitter, posting a .535 slugging percentage as the Sharks made another impressive run at the Class 6 title.
-Sport: Baseball. -Positions: Pitcher/third base/ outfield. -High school: Colgan. -Future college: Christopher Newport -Nickname: Bulldog. -Height/weight: 5-foot-11, 170 pounds. -Uniform number: 3 -Awards: 2022 Class 6 Player of the Year:Region 6B Player of the Year; Cardinal District Player of the Year.

“Knowing he played in the major leagues, obviously you want to listen to what he has to say,” Cassedy said. “He’s made a big impact on my career.” Growing up, Cassedy sampled soccer, flag and tackle football, even ice hockey around age 7. By the time he reached Colgan, he’d settled on two. “My freshman year I focused on baseball and basketball,” he said, noting he was a point guard and shooting guard on the court. “I was
split between those two. Then the COVID year hit, sophomore year.” He used the downtime to contemplate his options, and opted to narrow his focus to baseball in hopes of playing in college. That prompted a change in his mentality. “I got more locked in, more determined. I had a goal and I wanted to chase it,” he said. “My end goal is to make it as far as possible.” See CASSEDY, page 12

Cassedy: Just call him ‘Bulldog’ CASSEDY, from page 11
A Shark and a Bulldog
Cassedy earned his nickname “Bulldog” on June 4, 2021, when he pitched against Potomac. “That game, I said I need just one run,” he recalled. He got two in a key 2-0 victory over the Panthers, and the sobriquet stuck. “Whenever I’m on the mound, I’m real confident,” he explained. “I’m the type of guy who wants to attack hitters, get ahead, never be scared.”
Headed to CNU
In October 2021, Cassedy’s goal was realized when he committed to play baseball for Christopher Newport University, an often-ranked Division III program in
Newport News. He chose the Captains over interest from Lynchburg College and Division I East Tennessee State University, among others. He plans to major in Business Management. “Playing time,” he said. “I felt like I could go in there, see the field freshman year and start to learn how college baseball works.” Just as he did for Colgan, Cassedy will pitch and play various field positions for CNU, including middle infield, third base, and outfield. He’s hoping he catches a scout’s eye and earns the next rung on the baseball ladder. “I think it’s every little kid’s dream to make it to the big leagues and play as long as possible. So that’s my goal, to go as far as I can.”
Edie Grassi Cell: 540-878-1308 Office: 540-349-1221 Email: Edie.grassi@c21nm.com VOTE, from page 5 Thrusting this life on someone emotionally, financially or physically unstable is not just an inconvenience, it is an act of aggressive cruelty. It is cruel to that individual and the baby they are forced to deliver and care for. Where are the men who are 50% responsible for pregnancies in all of this? They are rarely held accountable. I have volunteered in a health clinic as a pregnancy counselor, and I was tasked with overseeing child support enforcement at the U.S. Department of Justice. I can speak with certainty to the fact that many men simply walk away. This leaves women in the precarious position of raising and financially supporting their children on their own. In a society that still fails to
adequately address affordable health care, childcare, housing and education – just to name a few important concerns – the safety net is virtually non-existent. There isn’t enough room in this letter to list out all the cynical, hypocritical aspects to the term “pro-life” because in every sense this movement was never about life per se; it was always about birth. Further, it was always about big government and religious institutions exerting power over vulnerable women. Let’s take our power back, ladies, and the men who support us. Vote on Nov. 8 for those candidates who will enact sweeping legislation to protect choice. That is the real pro-life position. KATHY KADILAK The Plains

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | July 14, 2022
OBITUARIES Lita “Squeaky” Wangensteen CAMDEN, SC - Lita “Squeaky” Lindley Wangensteen, 86, of Camden, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on July 2nd, 2022, a few months shy of her 87th birthday. She was born to Forrest Berry Lindley and Constance Merryweather Lindley of Shaker Heights, Ohio, where she was raised. Her parents, not horsey people, gave her a pony at age five, Junie, and the rest is history. You give a little girl a pony, and anything can happen, and did it ever! After attending Pine Manor College, Squeaky’s love of horses continued as she made her way to Tryon, North Carolina. She became active in breeding and fox hunting while in Tryon and met several renowned horse people including Gordon Wright and JA “Bucky” Reynolds, whom she eventually married. They moved to Warrenton, Virginia, where they established Merryweather Farm, a thriving commercial horse showing and teaching operation. She was particularly known as a respected breeder with a great eye for quality young horses. In addition to her breeding and training, she was also a licensed Registered Judge of show hunters, hunt seat equitation, and hunter breeding, judging many prestigious shows nationwide including Devon and the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden. Some of the most famed horses Squeaky owned were Peyton Place, and Gozzi, the renowned Hall of Fame Hunter, she and Bucky Reynolds developed and sold. In 1976 she married the love of her life, Dr. Stephen L. Wangensteen. They moved to Tucson, Arizona, where Dr. Wangensteen became Chief of Surgery at the University of Arizona, and she continued with her passion for horses. They enjoyed entertaining western style, often bringing a horse or two into the house after a dinner party delighting guests. It was a lively place they both loved and entertained many. During these years they also enjoyed a home in Siesta Key, Florida, where they kept a boat aptly named Merryweather, and trawled up and down the Intracoastal Waterway and off the southern parts of Florida. Several years later, Squeaky and Steve moved to Tampa, Florida, where Dr. Wangensteen became Chief of Surgery at the University of South Florida. When he was nearing retirement, they purchased a farm in Lenoir, North Carolina, Cloverhill Plantation. They eventually relocated there, where horses were once again the “preferred,” and they entertained annually during the famed Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show which was held “up the mountain” in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. After a few years in Lenoir, and realizing it was a just a bit too removed, they purchased Pear Tree Farm in Camden, South Carolina, and the rest was their history. She operated a successful boarding stable, as well as buying and selling quality show horses. They became very involved in all things Camden and Boykin, where an enjoyable life was led by entertaining often, participating in the Boykin Annual Christmas Parade, the Colonial and Carolina Cups, and they were known for throwing a great party. Squeaky was active in The Camden Garden Club, a Member of Springdale Hall, and was very involved in area dog rescues, fostering and placing many dogs in wonderful “furever” homes. During these many years, and until the end, Squeaky was known for these noble efforts. And while visiting her at her farm, one would intimately get to know each and everyone by their clever names that only she could uniquely name. She worked closely with her dear friends at Fostering Foster Animal Rescue, Danny and Ron’s Rescue and served on the Board of Kershaw County Humane Society Thiel Meyer Adoption Center to save the lives and provide happiness for a multitude of dogs. Her love for these dogs was immeasurable. Since Steve passed away in 2014, Squeaky missed him deeply and did her best to live her life as richly as possible. A wonderful quote from an early Virginia friend, Genie Grigsby Harper, sums it up. “Squeaky was one of a kind, a great horsewoman, friend, and character.” That she was, there was no one quite like her. Besides her parents and beloved spouse, she was predeceased by stepsons William Harry Wangensteen, and Philip Owen Wangensteen. She is survived by her half-sister Anne Berry Lindley of Boykin SC; stepchildren Chris Wangensteen-Eklund (Bill) of Tucson, AZ and Stephen Almonte Wangensteen of Richmond, VA; step-grandchildren Sierra Phillips (Justin), Owen Wangensteen, Blake Eklund and Madison Wangensteen; plus, many lovely Camden area friends. Service arrangements will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to Fostering Foster Animal Rescue 1718 Kennedy Drive Camden, SC 29020. Ron and Danny’s Rescue POB 604 Camden, SC 29021, or Kershaw County Humane Society Thiel Meyer Pet Adoption Center 128 Black River Road Camden, SC 29020. And to honor Squeaky’s always spoken parting words in person or on a phone call, “Bye for now” ~Squeaky Kornegay Funeral Home, Camden Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.

OBITUARIES Mildred Stevens Mom Well it’s been a year already since you left us and whoever said it would get easier obviously didn’t know you, it seems to get harder for me. I miss all of our talks around the kitchen table with all the crazy things that happened at work, at the events and concerts things only you would understand and laugh about. And all the talks you and Cheryl would have when she would take you to your doctor appointments a time for both of you could vent... or not. And you’re “little man”, who could forget Brandon? He sure hasn’t forgotten you, he’s asked me numerous times, Linda, “I thought if you prayed your prayers would come true?” I asked him what do you mean? He says “I pray for grandma to come back and it doesn’t work”. I tell him God needs her now but you will see her again when he needs you. Just not now. All of these first of not having you around are so hard... Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s Day and so much more. We miss you as much today as the day you left but we will never stop loving you you can count on that the hardest day I ever had to do in my life was to tell you goodbye July 17, 2021.
Elizabeth Gring Coffin Elizabeth Gring Coffin, aged 98, passed peacefully on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 in Warrenton, Virginia. She was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on March 24, 1924, daughter of Ambrose Daniel and Gertrude Sheffield Gring. Growing up with a widowed mother and four siblings in New York city during the depression was hard. As with others of her generation, she learned frugality and hard work. With a strong belief in God, she learned to be optimistic. “This is the day that the Lord hath made. We shall rejoice and be glad in it” was a favorite scripture. In 1944 Elizabeth met and married David P. Coffin, a charming Army officer who, after the war became a Foreign Service Officer with the State Department. Together they served in China, Japan and England. Although they found the work and travel stimulating and interesting, it did not provide much stability for their growing family. They settled in Alexandria, Virginia and David spent the rest of a very interesting career in the CIA. They had five children. In 1965, feeling the need for some space, they moved to Warrenton. The bought a large 100-year old stone house on Winchester Street and some land with a pre-civil war farmhouse in Orlean, Virginia. As a child, Elizabeth had gone to a Montessori preschool and she brought her children up with the principles of Montessori. In 1972 Elizabeth started the Boxwood School with her children’s help and encouragement. Of her three daughters who helped with her school, two went on to be trained Montessori teachers themselves. Her sons would best be described as “artists in residence.” Her boundless energy... physical, emotional and intellectual kept the school alive for 47 years. She has remained friends with many of her former students and their parents. Elizabeth had a strong personality. She had a great sense of humor. There was often a cartoon from The New Yorker on her refrigerator door. She was a voracious reader and a prolific letter writer. She kept her correspondence going with friends from her Foreign Service days for sixty years. As much as she loved to talk, she was a good listener. She will be missed! Mrs. Coffin is survived by four children, Kit Coffin Dukas & her husband, Philip pf Bethany Beach, Delaware, R. Winthrop Coffin & his partner, Phillip of Warrenton, Virginia, Ann Lauterbach & her husband Michael of Orlean, Virginia, and Sarah McCormack and her husband, Mark of Warrenton, Virginia; a daughter-in-law, Ellen Coffin of Brookings, Oregon; eleven grandchildren, Alexandra (Bill), Briana (Robin), Christopher (Amy), Caitlin, Lillian Rebecca, Christina (Luke), Jordon, Lauren Elizabeth, Haley Katherine, Win, and Sophie; and eight great grandchildren.

Michael William Craig Michael William Craig, age 74, of Purcellville VA passed away peacefully on Tuesday July 5, 2022, surrounded by family. Born to Bill and Nancy Craig in 1948 the only male child of five siblings. His Irish American Catholic/VirginiaChickahominy heritage and being the son of a military veteran instilled in him a strong appreciation of tradition, faith, and duty. At an early age Mike began his service to God as an altar boy at St John the Baptist de la Salle in Chillum, MD. Mike was a Class of ‘67 graduate of DeMatha Catholic High School and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Mike spent 20 years working at Vitro Corporation where he designed electrical systems and traveled the world inspecting and training other countries on safety systems for nuclear power plants.

After retiring, he and his eldest son opened Leesburg Hobbies & Collectibles where he enjoyed being recognized as “the train man” and “the scout shop owner”.

He coached little league for 11 years, was an elementary school PTA president, and he opened the family home as a McGruff Safety House. It was as a Boy Scout Leader, however, where he made some of the deepest connections with those outside of his family. As a uniformed scouter for over 35 years, some of Mike’s favorite moments were found camping, working on Eagle Projects, mentoring, and simply helping young people grow and discover all that they could be. Mike’s greatest joy in life was his wife, Grace. High school sweethearts, who would have celebrated their 52nd anniversary in July, Mike and Grace’s love will continue on.

Maurisa Spry Payne Maurisa Spry Payne, 68, loving mother, sister and friend, passed away on Monday, July 4, 2022, in Broad Run, VA. She was born on February 18, 1954, in Charlotte, NC to James Calvin Spry and Allegra Arndt Miller Spry. Shortly after her birth, the family relocated to Alexandria, VA where she attended public school. Maurisa knew at a young age she wanted her life’s work to focus on raising and showing dogs. Maurisa met her first English Springer Spaniel at her job with a local vet in high school. Upon high school graduation she returned to North Carolina to attend Catawba College, the alma mater of both of her parents. In 1975, after graduating college, she returned to Virginia and acquired her first English Springers, Sonny and Toby. This would begin her journey towards one of her life’s goals, opening her own English Springer Spaniel kennel. She began showing English Springer Spaniels competitively, which grew into breeding champion bloodlines and opening the world-renowned kennel, Northgate English Springer Spaniels. Nearly 100 of her show dogs were AKC Champions and multiple attended Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, winning numerous accolades. In her spare time, she also bred Arabian horses and rode competitively in judged trail rides. In addition to her passion for dogs, Maurisa followed in her father’s footsteps and continued her studies, becoming a Master Gemologist Appraiser through the American Society of Appraisers starting her own business, Gem Services Co. While she was a skilled business owner, her proudest accomplishment in life, and what brought her the most joy, was raising her two sons Christopher and Timothy Payne on their small family farm in Broad Run, VA. Together, over the years, they raised horses, chickens and dogs.

Dairus Dingus Dairus Dingus, 84 of Midland, Virginia passed away peacefully from natural causes July 8, 2022. Born in Castlewood, Virginia October 18, 1937, he graduated from Churchill High School and served 6 years in the Army Corpse of Engineers National Guard. Relocating to Fauquier County in 1963, he worked for the Fairfax County School Board until he started his own construction company in 1973. For the next 45 years he specialized in restoration projects in northern Fauquier County. His hobbies and interests were myriad. He loved riding street motorcycles and trail riding horses. He collected coins, pocketknives, and antique toys. His retirement years were spent enjoying summer retreats riverside camping in the mountains of Bath County. His dynamic personality led him to proclaim himself the “Mayor” of Midland. His public presence was well established by his outgoing personality and his signature Stetson hat atop a long flowing mustache and sideburns. He is proceeded in death by his son, Roger Dingus, and his grandson, Matthew Dingus. He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Rachel Dingus; his sons, Steve Dingus (Janna), Jeffrey Dingus (Laura); Daughter-in-law Vickie Dingus; grandchildren Stephanie Straub (Evan), Kyle Dingus, Nicholas Dingus, Zachary Dingus; great-grandson Emory Straub; his sister Kathy DeCastro, and many extended family and friends. His passing has opened a void in the lives of those who loved him and the many who knew his friendship and generous spirit. There is consolation in the fact the void will no doubt be filled with a lifetime of loving thoughts and fond recollections for the numerous people he openly welcomed into his life. A viewing will be held on Saturday July 16, 2022 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Moser Funeral Home located at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, Virginia 20186. A private internment will follow on Monday July 18, 2022. Online condolences may be expressed at www.moserfuneralhome. com.
