Report: Rents ‘rapidly increasing’ in eastern Prince William

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Rental costs in Woodbridge, Dale City and Dumfries are “rapidly increasing,” raising concerns among some residents that low- and middle-income families could be displaced, according to a newly published housing and health report focused on eastern Prince William County.

The report, created by the Potomac Health Foundation and Housing Forward Virginia, a housing advocacy organization based in Richmond, examined health and housing issues within the Potomac Health Foundation’s service area in eastern Prince William County, northern Stafford

Rents on the rise

In order to afford a rental in the area, a household would need to make just over $70,000 to cover rent, “an income well above what low-income families in the area make,” the report said.

Rental costs increased greatly in four ZIP Codes in eastern Prince William County between 2014 and 2021, according to a report by the Potomac Health Foundation. $2,051 (+27%)

$1,827 (+12.5%)

$1,768 (+12.8%)

County and southern Fairfax County.

The report found that between 2014 and 2021, rents rose nearly 15%, on average, in four eastern Prince William ZIP Codes with av-

erage rent prices now topping $1,768 per month in all four areas.

Additionally, the report said 52% of renters in the Potomac Health Foundation area are “cost-burdened,” a term that describes individuals or families who expend more than 30% of their income on rent every month.

In order to afford a rental in the area, a household would need to make just over $70,000 to cover rent, “an income well above what low-income families in the area make,” the report said.

Prince William students, staff in quarantine doubles over last 2 weeks

By Cher Muzyk and Jill Palermo The number of Prince William County students quarantining and isolating at home as a result of either contracting COVID-19 or having a close contact with a positive case more than doubled over the past two weeks, rising to 1,428 students in quarantine and an additional 225 in isolation for having contracted COVID-19, according to new data posted on the school division website.

The school division’s revised COVID-19 dashboard, released Thursday, Sept. 30, shows the number of students quarantining and in isolation at each school for the first time.

As of Friday, Oct. 1, the data showed cases and quarantines up about 137% since Friday, Sept. 20, the last time the school division released quarantine numbers.

On Sept. 20, there were 695 students and 12 staff members quarantining at home as a result of a close contact or positive case of COVID-19, according to school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta.

As of Friday, Oct. 1, the number had risen to 1,428 students and 12 staff members in quarantine and 225 students and 49 staff members having to isolate due to having contracted COVID-19. The numbers had receded slightly as of Wednesday, Oct. 6, with 175 students and 39 staff isolating and 1,103 students and 11 staff quarantining, according to the website.

Those listed in quarantine have been “exposed to another individual being treated as having COVID-19,” the website says. Those exposures “may have occurred in [a Prince William County school] or in the community,” the website says.

It’s not clear if any students or staff members have been hospitalized due to severe cases of COVID-19, as that information is not included on the website.

Further, the school division acknowledged on Wednesday the recent deaths of three staff members since the new school year began, according to Diana Gulotta, spokeswoman for Prince William County schools.

Gulotta noted the school division cannot confirm whether their deaths were related to COVID-19.

“Unfortunately, a few staff members have died since school began,” Gulotta said in a Sept. 30 email. “We have not been provided with any information at this time confirming any of those deaths were related to COVID-19.”

The school division made the changes to its COVID-19 dashboard in part to make the information easier to understand, Gulotta said.

The changes were “based on public feedback and to streamline the information,” Gulotta said.

Community spread

It’s not clear what’s driving the increase in cases and close contacts in the

Prince William Health District weekly COVID-19 report 59,537 Cases (Up 798) 2,202 Hospitalizations (Up 21) 607 Deaths (Up 5) 6.3% Percent-positivity rate (Down from 7.2%)

school division, which has an enrollment of about 90,000 students and employs more than 11,000 staff members.

The rise in cases coincides with a surge of new cases locally over the past few weeks, although it’s not known whether or how much the start of the new school year impacted the level of community spread in Prince William County.

The county has been listed in the “red” zone – the highest level of community spread for COVID-19 as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- since at least early August.

Since the new school year began on Aug. 23, the average number of daily cases reported in the county rose from 86 to 113.7 as of Oct. 1, an increase of about 32%, according to the Virginia Department of Health.

The average number of daily cases reported in the health district peaked on Sept. 16 with 132 cases a day, an increase of nearly 54% since the school year began.

London Steverson, Charles “Mac” Haddow and Erica Tredinnick, GOPappointed members of Prince William County’s Racial and Social Justice Commission, listen from the stage at the Patriot High School auditorium during a town hall meeting they called to discuss critical race theory.

CRT debated from both sides during contentious town hall Event was disavowed by commission’s chairwoman as not germane to the group’s work

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

A contentious town hall meeting on “critical race theory” hosted by three Republican-appointed members of the Prince William Racial and Social Justice Commission drew more than 50 attendees to Patriot High School Tuesday evening, with people on both sides of the issue expressing their feelings about the topic.

Commissioners Mac Haddow (Coles), Erica Tredinnick (Gainesville) and London Steverson (Brentsville) hosted the event. Prince William County Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, booked the Patriot High School auditorium for the event, according to School Division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta.

The term critical race theory has recently become a political buzz word among conservatives. The term was first coined in 1989 by attorney and scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw. One of its central tenets is that racism is structural rather than only personal, and that laws and institutional practices can have racist outcomes without racist intent.

Critical race theory is not a part of classroom teaching. Prince William County school board members and school division officials have said it is not being taught in Prince William County schools.

The commissioners began the town hall, however, with a 25-minute Power Point presentation that suggested the county school division and school board are lying about whether CRT is being taught in school. The commissioners cited instances in when the U.S. government lied to or misled the public in the past, like the Pentagon Papers and the Tuskegee experiment, apparently suggesting similar coverups were happening in Prince William County schools.

“I can tell you pretty conclusively that the representations made by various school officials is correct, that we don’t have a textbook that says critical race theory,” Haddow said. But, he added, “Look at the significant times the government lied to us …

Can we trust the government when they say they’re not doing this?”

After the presentation, Haddow urged the audience to “come to the same conclusion I have, that no one can credibly say that we’re not teaching critical race theory in our schools.”

About 55 people attended the meeting, and 17 people spoke during public comment time. Ten people spoke against critical race theory being taught in schools. Of those, many said they fear that teaching it in schools will steer the country in a direction they don’t agree with.

The other seven largely spoke about the need to ensure schools are teaching a truthful history of the United States government’s role in past systemic abuses of racial and ethnic minorities, or to advocate for creating a more inclusive environment at Prince William County schools.

“This country, this county, has repeatedly omitted things from their teaching. I want the full truth. I don’t want a half-truth. And I’m tired of things being omitted,” said Richard Jessie, a retired Marine officer, member of the local NAACP and husband of School Board member Lillie Jessie (Occoquan).

The town hall ended with a question-and-answer session in which the commissioners fielded questions from the audience. They were asked on several occasions to show the audience how critical race theory is being taught in Prince William County schools but appeared to struggle to provide any tangible evidence in the school’s curriculum.

Prince William County is currently updating the county’s 2040 comprehensive plan’s housing chapter. County officials are considering several new policies aimed at reducing housing costs in the county.

Those policies include increasing the number of affordable housing units in the county, including creating an affordable dwelling unit ordi-

nance, which could require a certain percentage of affordable housing units in every new home development. They also include plans to expand the amount of land available for residential development in the county’s rural area.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors will likely take a vote on the updated housing chapter of the comprehensive plan within the next year.

Census: Prince William the 10th most diverse county in the U.S. DIVERSITY, from page 1 Prince William County Demographer Brian Engelmann presented those findings to the county’s racial and social justice commission on Sept. 23, while giving an overview of the new U.S. Census data.

Fairfax County and Manassas Park ranked as the second and third most diverse places in Virginia behind Prince William County, Englemann said.

The U.S. Census – which aims to count every person in the country every 10 years – released its latest color report in August. The data is used to determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to adjust or redraw electoral districts based on where populations have

increased or decreased.

Prince William County became increasingly diverse and more densely populated in the last decade, according to the new census data. The county added about 80,000 new residents between 2010 and 2020, keeping its place as the second most populous county in the commonwealth.

It also became much more diverse, with minorities now representing 62% of the county’s total population, up from 51% in 2010.

The county’s young people, those under the age of 18, are even more diverse than the overall population of the county, with 70% identifying themselves as non-white.

Jail broke its own policy to grant prosecutors direct access to inmate records

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William-Manassas jail officials violated their own record-sharing policies “over many years” to give local prosecutors direct access to inmate records and phone calls while preventing similar access to defense attorneys, according to two letters sent from jail officials to Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth in August.

The letters have shed new light on a dispute between the jail, the commonwealth›s attorney’s office and the public defender’s office over whether defense attorneys should have the same access as prosecutors to their incarcerated client’s records.

Those records include inmate phone call recordings, text messages and other written correspondence – all of which are admissible as evidence in criminal cases.

The commonwealth’s attorney’s office has historically been given open access to those records by the jail – an apparent violation of jail policy – while defense attorneys have been required to obtain those records through a time-consuming subpoena process.

The now year-old local public defender’s office raised concerns about whether the jail was implementing their record-sharing rules fairly. The dispute appeared to arise from an ongoing criminal case. Ultimately, jail officials determined their record-sharing policies were not being carried out equally and took action to begin following their own policy in mid-August.

Maj. Amanda Lambert, the jail’s director of support services, notified Ashworth on Aug. 16 that the jail would begin enforcing its existing policy. As a result, the commonwealth’s attorney’s office would need to obtain inmate records through a subpoena and would no longer have direct access to them.

Jail Superintendent Col. Pete Meletis offered this explanation to Ashworth in an Aug. 18 letter about why the jail decided to begin enforcing the policy: “Unfortunately, a former employee chose to disregard our requirements and elected to provide [jail] records to the commonwealth’s attorney’s office over many years without supervisory knowledge, or contrary to direction,” Meletis said.

“We pride ourselves on being consistent and fair with all our external partners. The practice of permitting [jail] records to be obtained without a subpoena by your office but requiring it for others is not in the best interest of all stakeholders.”

It remains unclear what repercussions could come from the recent revelations. Chief Public Defender Tracey Lenox said this week it likely will not have any impact on past convictions.

The issue was partially resolved in mid-September after the Prince William-Manassas regional jail board reversed the jail’s record sharing policy at Ashworth’s request at its Sept. 15 meeting. The new policy allows prosecutors to once again have open access to the records of incarcerated individuals.

Ashworth said during the meeting that access to those records was an urgent “public safety issue.”

The new policy allows prosecutors access, “without delay,” to a deluge of inmate records including recorded phone calls, text messages, tablet messages, recorded inmate visits, booking photos, visitor logs, copies of non-legal mail, intercepted written communication between inmates, discipline reports and housing records.

Allowing commonwealth’s attorney’s offices access to the records of incarcerated individuals is common practice in Virginia.

Defense attorneys must still obtain a subpoena for inmate records.

But the jail board left open the possibility that another resolution could be passed at an upcoming jail board meeting to further update its policy allowing defense attorneys easy access to their client’s records.

Incarcerated individuals are charged 11 cents per minute for phone calls and 25 cents per text message by a third-party vendor contracted by the jail. Incarcerated individuals are also charged when they use digital tablets provided by the same vendor for listening to music, playing games or watching television.

In 2020, the jail collected $245,000 in annual revenues from phone calls and tablet use by incarcerated individuals, according to its annual report.

The Prince William-Manassas jail board will meet again in two months on Wednesday, Nov. 17.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stop SROs from arresting our students In response to the article, “Police chief: School resource officer rules under review,” published on Sept.

30, instead of limiting the number of arrests of students, I would argue for the solution of not arresting any students, period.

According to an article published May 24 by the ACLU of Washington, “Research shows that the presence of SROs is detrimental to the welfare of our children, leading to the increased criminalization of youth for child-like behaviors.” The article tells us that the federal government spends $1 billion annually on funding SROs when evidence has shown the presence of SROs does not decrease the rate of school shootings.

Additionally, the arrest rates in schools with SROs is three times greater than in schools without an SRO, which only perpetuates the systemic school-to-prison process that punishes juveniles into the criminal justice system, denying them the right to attend school.

The juveniles who find themselves in the criminal justice system are more likely to be pushed out of school permanently, fail to graduate, be arrested again, or end up in adult prisons.

More importantly, disproportionate rates students of color or with disabilities find themselves in the criminal justice system.

Alarming, too, is that most school arrests are for non-serious issues, such as bad grades, tardiness, disorderly conduct such as cursing or not following directions.

Please put our youth first; remove SROs from the schools and stop arresting our students period – instead of just decreasing arrests for minor offenses.

MEGAN PITTMAN Salem, Va.

Be wary of ‘thought police’ in local schools Imagine if all school curriculum was dictated by our Virginia elected officials; if the Virginia Department of Education, senators, delegates and school boards controlled exactly what teachers could teach and even what they could say in the classroom. No dissenting views.

No minority or unpopular opinions could be expressed.

No review process, no arguments, no variance.

Sounds pretty dystopian, doesn’t it? Almost an anathema to the independent character and self-determination that founded our state and our county.

President Thomas Jefferson, who lived just down the road from Northern Virginia, started the radical idea that our new nation would be made more prosperous and democracy would grow stronger if every child received an education at the public’s expense.

From the brave teachers in one-room schools to education innovators today, [public education] has relied on our professional teachers to manage their curriculum and teaching styles and chafed when too many impositions, like [standardized tests], dictated too much of what teachers spent their time on, pulling them away from teaching a broader curriculum.

Unfortunately, there are those trying to impose a standardized curriculum that doesn’t allow our trained educators control over what is taught in schools. They are certain they know what is best for our students and demand school systems do what they say; then everyone would learn the correct story of our nation and

CRT TOWN HALL, from page 3 “I don’t have the answers … All I can say is that with my three kids, they’ve all experienced something being taught to them that I would label as not okay within this realm. I don’t know if it’s critical race theory,” Tredinnick said.

Prior to the meeting, the chairwoman of the county commission, Shantell Rock, distanced herself from the event, saying the town hall is “not sanction[ed]” by full commission. In a statement, she said the town hall “is separate from the mission of the Racial and Social Commission” and that the commission is “not re-

we would come together and unite without opposition.

It may surprise you to learn that the party planning to impose its will universally on the teachers, the party that wants to monitor everything teachers say and do, the party that wants teachers and administrators to inform on each other, to cancel teachers who veer off-script and teach uncomfortable subjects, such as history and free thinking, is the party of Glenn Youngkin, the Republican Party of Virginia.

In its all-out war on the mythical threat of “critical race theory’’ or CRT, it has advocated for total control over the classroom. When asked what CRT is, where it is taught, and how learning an accurate and inclusive history of our country and our county can possibly injure students, all the GOP can do is recycle tired talking points from its outrage factories.

If the GOP gets to dictate what local teachers and schools can teach, what is its next target? Will all critical reasoning and thinking be outlawed in favor of a unified narrative we have to adhere to?

Why does Glenn Youngkin want to impose his thought police on our school teachers? What type of authoritarian control will he impose next? If you care about an education system free of control by politicians and extremists, vote Democrat in November.

sponsible for promoting, reviewing or discussing critical race theory.”

The event also raised questions about whether the three commissioners violated of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act, which requires that gatherings that include three or more members of elected bodies or appointed commissions properly advertise and document such events. A flyer for the event was posted to the Racial and Social Justice Commission’s website

by Wednesday night, and Haddow made an audio recording of the discussion.

Both Haddow and Tredinnick said after the meeting that the town hall had not violated any FOIA or open meeting rules because the event

The 12-member Racial and Social Justice Commission is tasked by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors with examining racial issues in county government services, schools and the police department and to identify potential areas of improvement.

A 70-year-old Haymarket man has died from injuries he sustained in a multi-vehicle crash Friday afternoon on Interstate 66, according to Virginia State Police.

Officers responded to the crash site, located at I-66 just east of U.S. 29, at 2:37 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 1 and found that a 2011 Hyundai Sonata traveling west in the left center moved into the right center lane, striking a 2018 Dodge Journey, according to Shelby Crouch, public relations coordinator for the Virginia State Police.

The Sonata continued into the right

lane, striking a 2015 Freightliner box truck. It then moved back to the left, crossing all lanes of traffic and striking the ditch on the left side of the road, Crouch said in a news release.

The driver of the Dodge and the driver of the box truck were not injured. Both were wearing seatbelts, the release said.

The driver of the Hyundai, Charles N. Ullman, 70, of Haymarket, was transported to Reston Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. He was wearing a seatbelt, the release said.

The crash remains under investigation.

Police: Triangle mom arrested after 2-year-old finds a loaded firearm, shoots herself A 22-year-old Triangle woman was charged with felony child abuse Wednesday, Sept. 29 after police determined her 2-year-old daughter shot herself in the lower body after a loaded gun was placed on a bed on which the child was sleeping, according to police.

Officers arrived at the Townsquare at Dumfries apartment complex, in the 3900 block of Townsquare Court, in Triangle, at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 28, to investigate after the 2-year-old was brought to an area hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to her lower body, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman.

The mother and another family member attempted to drive the child to the hospital but instead stopped at See QUARANTINE, page 8 dashboard and a Prince William Times analysis of COVID-19 cases reported in schools since the new school year began.

The numbers reflect high schools’ larger enrollment; most Prince William County high schools have more than 2,000 students. The numbers also reflect the fact that students under the age of 12 are not yet eligible to be vaccinated.

Schools with the highest numbers of students in isolation

As of Friday, Oct. 1, Unity Braxton Middle School, in Manassas, had the highest number of students isolating due to COVID-19 with 19.

The school also had 48 students in quarantine, according to the dashboard.

Unity Braxton Middle was followed by The Nokesville School, a K-8 school in Nokesville, which had 12 students isolating as a result of testing positive for COVID-19, while Bennett Elementary, in Manassas, came in third place with 10 students in isolation.

Schools with the highest numbers of students in quarantine

Meanwhile, Marumsco Hills Elementary in Woodbridge had the highest number of students quar-

a nearby fire station for help, Carr said in a news release.

The police investigation revealed that the child was asleep on a bed while her mother was cleaning the room.

While the mother was cleaning, a loaded firearm was placed on the same bed as the child. When the child woke, she handled the firearm, which discharged a round that struck her in the lower body, Carr said in a news release.

Following the investigation, Kaylen Marie Main, 22, of Triangle, was arrested on Wednesday, Sept. 29, and charged with felony child neglect and allowing children to access a firearm.

Main was being held at the Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center without bond pending a Nov. 18 hearing, according to a news release. antining with 116 students -- about 20% of the school’s enrollment -- at home due to a close contact. The school had no students isolating due to contracting COVID-19, however, according to the dashboard.

Marumsco Hills Elementary was followed by Buckland Mills Elementary, in Gainesville, which had 88 students in quarantine as of Friday. Buckland Mills had no students in isolation, however.

Sudley Elementary, in Manassas, had 80 students in quarantine and 12 in isolation, according to the dashboard.

As of Thursday, Sept. 30, the school division had reported at least 1,166 individual positive or probable cases of COVID-19. Of those, 948 were reported in September – a number that surpassed the 899 cases reported during the height of the pandemic in January 2021.

Battlefield High School, located in Haymarket, reported the highest number of cases with 42. Of those, 19 involved close contacts at school.

Woodbridge High School, in Lake Ridge, is not far behind with 36 cases, 25 of which involved close contacts.

Patriot High School, in Nokesville, has so far reported 32 cases, 24 of which had close contacts.

PRINCE WILLIAM MARINA New Belmont Bay mural showcases wildlife native to the Potomac

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

TakerOne, a muralist and street artist whose larger-than-life artwork is on display around the world, has created his latest “photorealistic graffiti” masterpiece right here in Prince William County at George Mason University’s Potomac Science Center at Belmont Bay. TakerOne, 34, who declined to disclose his given name in a recent interview, is from Budapest, Hungary. He started painting in 2001, and his work is featured on cityscapes in London, New York, Los Angeles, Auckland and multiple cities in Spain and Israel. On his website, TakerOne says he wants people to stop and say “wow” when they see his work. His goal is to add color to gray cities and to “beautify our built environment” on a grand scale.

Last month, TakerOne began creating a mural on the science center’s parking garage that highlights the biodiversity of the Potomac River one spray can at a time. He finished the mural this week, in time for the official unveiling and meet-the-artist event this weekend on Oct. 9.

TakerOne’s mural is the first hand-painted outdoor mural commissioned by “Murals at Mason,” the organization behind the project, and the largest mural TakerOne has ever painted.

The piece features four different species native to the Potomac River area: a yellow swallowtail butterfly, a tree frog, a wood duck, and a North American river otter. TakerOne said he often paints animals and was happy to be asked to do a project featuring species native to the river.

The mural was funded by a variety of donors whose support covered all project costs, including

TakerOne’s flight, boarding, meals, artist fee and supplies, according to Yassmin Salem, Murals at Mason’s program manager.

Murals at Mason produces on-campus public art projects designed to engage social justice issues and to enrich the learning environment at the university. The organization began accepting submissions for an environmental consciousness series entitled “ELEMENTS” in 2019, but the onset of COVID-19 delayed the project, Salem said in an email.

After reviewing TakerOne’s style, Salem said Murals at Mason knew he would be the best artist to create a mural that explored the dynamic relationships between art, humanity and nature at the science center.

Murals at Mason wanted the mural to tie into the Belmont Bay area and the type of research that is done at the Potomac Science Center, Salem said.

“TakerOne’s mural not only aligned with our environmental consciousness theme, but also highlighted native species to Belmont Bay in an intriguing way,” Salem said.

TakerOne created a few versions of the mural before they settled on the final design. Salem said that the process “ultimately led up to a vibrant, eye-catching mural that captured key species native to Belmont Bay [and] skillfully integrated the scale and environments for each animal, demonstrating their interconnectedness.”

COLGAN VOLLEYBALL: ‘WE’VE DEVELOPED A CULTURE’ Powered by new talent, four-time Cardinal District champs seek return to states

Colgan’s Naiya Casimiro (left) and Joey Him rise up in tandem.

Colgan is 13-1 and remains the reigning power in the Cardinal District with four straight regular season titles.

The Colgan Sharks are just a few points shy of a perfect volleyball season so far.

At 13-1 and 7-0 in the Cardinal District, the Sharks’ only blemish is a close loss to Mountain View in the finals of the Virginia Volleyball Showcase in Richmond Sept. 4.

Colgan has won its six district matches by a combined score of 21-2.

“They play well together and play for each other,” said Keith Mesa, the only head coach in the program’s six-year history. “We’ve developed a good culture over the last few years.”

Mesa had to replace five starters from last year’s team that made the Class 6 Region B semifinals. Only two starters and two rotational players return.

“I feel like we’re balanced, our ball control’s been improving, we have a solid setter in [junior] Alexis Scipione and we’re a fairly big team,” Mesa said.

Scipione has tossed up 414 assists out of a 5-1 formation. She sets up an array of Col-

Middle hitter Brielle Kemavor, a 6-foot-4 star who’s attracting interest from some of the country’s top college programs, paces Colgan with 114 kills and a .403 hitting percentage.

“She’s come into her own as a junior, gaining more confidence,” Mesa said.

Senior outside hitter Alana Connor has slammed down 95 kills, while sophomore Aubrey Hatch has 59 and senior Meghan Haldeman has 33. Senior Joey Him is hitting at a .324 clip, piling up 30 kills.

Sophomore Paula Sigurani Rivera has emerged as the starting libero.

CAN LIONS ROAR INTO REGIONALS AGAIN THIS SEASON? Led by Sweeney, Annibell, Turner, Santiago, Unity Reed’s core field hockey unit is back

By Jason S. Rufner

Special to the Prince William Times

Third-year Unity Reed field hockey coach Bill Strakosch feels like a lucky Lion.

After his squad made regionals earlier this year, he didn’t have to say goodbye to many players, or wait too long to compete again.

The delayed 2020 season ended in April. Less than four months later he welcomed back seven seniors and six juniors on a 19-player roster, and

Junior Hailey Annibell leads the Lions with 11 goals.

they’re out to repeat their region run.

Unity Reed opened 4-0 and have settled into their Cedar Run District season at 5-4 and 6-4 overall.

Last season Unity Reed went on an eight-game winning streak to make the Class 6 Region B semifinals and Strakosch knows they can do it again.

“They always bring their best effort, and that’s why it’s been such a joy to coach them the past few years,” he said. “We continue to get better year to year.”

In his third season with this veteran group, not much surprises the coach about his team. But he is impressed by “how quickly they’ve grown together.”

“It’s been a thrill to watch them get better together,” he said. “This year it seems like they’re really getting better every single day.”

The Lions’ offense is led by versatile senior playmaker Devyn Sweeney and her fellow captain, junior Hailey Annibell, a “dangerous outside shooter.”

Annibell scored all of Unity Reed’s goals in a 4-0 win over Champe.

“Both of them are having phenomenal years,” Strakosch said.

Sweeney has authored two goals and six assists, setting up several of An-

The assistant captains are defensive-minded midfielders Zoei Turner and Sam Santiago, a first-team all-Cedar Run pick last season. Santiago is assigned to each opponent’s best offensive player.

“She continues to impress,” the coach said. “She’s like an iron curtain in the middle of the field.”

The goalie tandem is senior Ana Deledi and junior Tica Jones, both of whom are improving, Strakosch said.

Outside of three lopsided wins, the Lions have been in narrowly decided contests, including an overtime win over OP in which Turner scored the clincher.

Unity Reed hungry to keep winning FIELD HOCKEY, from page 12 One of the Lions’ best collective efforts this season came in a 2-1 loss to Freedom-South Riding on Sept. 29. Unity Reed was down a player for nearly 15 minutes, but scored with a minute left to make it even closer.

“It was one of those losses that said more about the team than a typical win would, with the heart and the pride they carried them-

selves with,” Strakosch said. “That makes coaching easier.”

He hopes that tenacity through adversity continues down the stretch and into the postseason.

“We keep it day to day and expect to be as competitive as we can every single game,” Strakosch said.

“But considering last year, it’d be an injustice to them to expect anything less than the regional tournament again … and maybe a little run at states, we’ll see.”

Charles Eugene Johnson III Charles Eugene Johnson III, fondly known as “Gene,” was welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven on September 26th, 2021. Born November 6, 1948 in Baltimore, Maryland, he was the son of the late Dorothy Ijams Johnson and Charles Eugene Johnson II, and the brother of the late Edward “Ned” Johnson.

Gene grew up in Takoma Park Maryland and enjoyed playing golf and swimming at the local country club. He graduated from High Point High School in 1966 and began his career as a musician, playing in and around DC area nightclubs in the 1970’s. He loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. The highlight of his career was when his band, Tractor, opened for Joe Cocker at the Philadelphia Coliseum in 1979. It was his pleasure to teach his children to sing harmony and melody. Later in life, Gene’s love of music transitioned into performances with the Fauquier Community Theater and singing in local church choirs.

Gene is survived by his children, Alex Johnson (Amanda) and Libbi Moore (Patrick), and his grandchildren Calvin, Ellie, Amelia, Paisley, Laila, and Evelyn.

Always a lover of nature and farm life, Gene bought a small farm in Catlett in 1976 where he owned and bred horses, made hay, adopted cats and dogs, and taught his children to care for animals and the land around them. A family favorite pastime was trail riding through the woods and neighboring farms. Prior to owning a farm and raising a family, Gene lived and worked on a horse farm that later was acquired by the National Park Service and became the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

In addition to his love for music and animals, Gene loved history and was a published author in the North South Trader Magazine and a collector of Civil War relics. He was extremely well-read, particularly in history and religion, and spent a lot of time visiting various historical sites with his children. When he wasn’t in Catlett enjoying a simple, organic life, he could be found in Fenwick Island, Delaware, where he spent his summers as a child and continued the tradition with his own children.

Throughout his adult life, Gene could be found playing softball on the Catlett Fireman’s team, coaching t-ball, leading boy scouts, and was an avid supporter of the Brandy Station Foundation. In his later years, with loving support from his son and daughter, Gene battled an aggressive form of dementia called Lewy Body Dementia.

He is greatly missed and will continue to be treasured for the life he lived and the multitude of people he inspired.

Memorial services will be 2:00 PM on Saturday, October 9th at Nokesville Church of the Brethren, 13002 Fitzwater Dr, Nokesville, VA 20181. Masks are required.

Memorial gifts may be made to the Brandy Station Foundation.

Services are incomplete at this time.

Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton, Virginia will be handling arrangements.

Caroline B. Cronan Caroline B. Cronan, age 94, of Manassas, Virginia, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2021.

Caroline was born February 19, 1927, in Concord, Massachusetts to Everett William and Eva Leslie (Sanborn) Bowker.

Caroline moved to Maryland to live with her sister Elinor and her family shortly after completing her schooling at Bryant and Stratton Commercial School in Boston. She met and fell in love with Gerald L. Cronan (Jerry) where they both worked at General Electric in Washington D.C., spending their lunch breaks talking instead of eating. Jerry’s older sister Angela, who also worked there at GE, was responsible for introducing them. They were married on April 17, 1948, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Alexandria, Virginia. They raised four children in the course of moving from Virginia to New Jersey and later to Maryland before returning to Virginia and taught them that it is more important to be respected than to be liked.

Caroline was a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She enjoyed conversation and talking about her younger years. She liked to laugh, shop, and play games; cards, Chinese checkers and Farkle; and typically busied herself, particularly in the earlier years, with sewing and crochet.

Caroline is survived by daughter, Loretta Warner and husband, Jack; sons, Ron and wife, Kerry; Rick and his partner John; and Rob and wife, Laurie; grandchildren Ben Arnette, Wayne Cronan, Pam Arroyo, Kira Glass, Dian Beatty, Megan and Katie Cronan; great-grandchildren Lilian and Pascal Arnette, Ryan Jeanes, Ethan Cronan, A.J. and Sophia Arroyo, and Wesley, Bryce, and Blair Glass.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and siblings Frank, Elinor, and Alden.

We will miss her.

Shirley Pearson Fahringer Shirley Pearson Fahringer, 58, passed away in her home on September 27, 2021 after a 10 year, hard-fought battle with breast cancer.

Shirley was born on January 6, 1963 in Manassas, Virginia, and was raised on a farm in Catharpin, Virginia. Her parents taught her to be responsible, appreciate what she had, and to look out for others. Shirley stated that her proudest accomplishment was being the best mom she could be, which she said at times was a challenge.

Mission work was a large part of her life, and one of her proudest civic accomplishments. A devout Christian woman, Shirley made it one of her life’s goals to bring as many people to Christ as she could through love and compassion.

Shirley retired from Stonewall Memory Gardens in June of 2021. The lives of those she touched during her 10 plus years as a compassionate and caring member of the bereavement industry made her a valuable asset to the community as a whole.

Always a family woman, Shirley took every opportunity she had to spend with the people she loved. Alongside the love of her life, Tim, she travelled the world. Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, England, Alaska, New Zealand, and her favorite, Australia were just a few of the many places they made memories together.

Shirley is survived by her loving husband of 26 years, Tim Fahringer of Nokesville; children, Michael Gardner (Kelly) of Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, Timothy Fahringer of Hampton, and Michelle Gardner of Gainesville; three grandchildren, Michael, Henry, and Parker Gardner; sisters Bertha Hoover and Thelma Key; brothers James, Carlin, Kirk, and Marvin Pearson.

She was preceded in death by her sisters Helen Pearson and Penny Chappel; mother Anne Pearson; and father Carlin Pearson.

A memorial service will be held at Battlefield Baptist Church, 4361 Lee Hwy, Warrenton, VA 20187, on Saturday, October 9, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. with a reception to follow in the fellowship hall.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Capital Caring Health, the company that allowed Shirley to live out her final days at home with her family.

He truly enjoyed his work with the chapter, whether it was raising funds for the memorial located in Winchester Park, traveling to Washington for the annual Memorial Day Parade or attending gratitude events held by the Korean Embassy.

Jack spent his career as a retailer with Sears Roebuck & Co where he started his career as an associate in the service department and ended his career here in Winchester as the manager of the Sears in the Apple Blossom Mall. He took pride in his role expanding Sears in Winchester and opening the brand new store in the mall. He enjoyed retail merchandising through the rest of his life, and was always studying how competitors marketed their businesses. Following his Sears career, he became Executive Director of the Apple Blossom Festival which was a role he truly enjoyed as he helped showcase Winchester to the region.

Jack’s biggest source of pride was his family and he always remembered to tell us that. He was our biggest cheerleader and supporter, always willing to help us whether it was by completing a home repair, gifting us with a woodworking project, or teaching his grandchildren how to camp and to fish. He was predeceased by his wife of 59 years, Patricia (nee Davis). He is survived by his children Dianne Leipold, Jack (Lynn) Kronenberger, Susan (Jerry) Clark, Laurie Wallace and Lynne (Brian) Laird; ten grandchildren Dan (Sarah) Leipold, Paul Leipold, Gwen (Matt) Pilquist, Cooper Kronenberger, Jaklyn Kronenberger, Matthew Clark, Kelly (Michael) Ruddell, Jessica Wallace, Erica (Davide) Ferrari and Evan (Kaitlyn) Laird; and three great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers Memorial Contributions in memory of Jack may be sent to: Catholic Charities, 200 North Glebe Rd. Suite #250, Arlington, VA 22203. Jack’s pallbearers will be Dan LeipoldPaul Leipold, Matthew Clark, Evan Laird, Cooper Kronenberger and Matt Pilquist.

Donald Harry Canton Donald Harry Canton, age 86, of Arlington, Texas passed away on Saturday, September 18, 2021 with his family by his side.

He was born in Northampton, MA on August 31, 1935, the son of Paul Joseph and Viola Marceline (Syriac) Canton. Don married the love of his life, Nancy Alexander in 1958, sharing 59 years of marriage before her passing in 2017.

Don had many accomplishments in his life from working with Boeing on the original 747, working on the team that designed the transportation system at DFW airport, to being a civil engineer on many municipal projects throughout the metroplex and a 50 Year Member of the Society of Civil Engineers, but nothing was more important to him than his family.

Don loved life, his family and people. He could not walk into one of his regular stores he frequented without getting to know the staff and sharing a laugh each time. He always had a smile on his face and had those around smiling and laughing along with him. He will be remembered for his outgoing personality and the strength of his character. He has a special way about him.

His life will be celebrated with a memorial mass at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, October 8, 2021 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 1927 SW Green Oaks Blvd in Arlington, Texas. A reception will follow in the church hall.
