New animal shelter to open this week By Cher Muzyk

Prince William Health District public health workers and contractors go door-to-door to businesses in Manassas last week in an ongoing effort to spread the word about how and where to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Meeting them ‘where they are’ to fight COVID-19

After years of delays, Prince William County’s long-promised new animal shelter will open its doors in a matter of days to local furry friends awaiting adoption – and just in time for the holiday season. “We are gearing up for a transition into the new building very soon,” said Anthony Cleveland, chief of Prince William County Police Department’s Animal Control Bureau Division, in a recent email. The animals housed in the county’s existing shelter are slated to move into the new facility between Monday, Nov. 22 and Friday, Nov. 26, according to Jeremy Beale, spokesman for Prince William County’s Animal Control Bureau. “Our goal is to have all on-site animals transferred over to the new building by Saturday, Nov. 27.” While the exact moving schedule could change, Cleveland said the target date to open the western half of the building to the public is Saturday, Nov. 27. The east wing of the shelter, which houses the adoption area, will not be finished until the spring of 2022, explained Beale. The western wing will house staff offices and the animal holding area. The animal shelter has a staff of 25, and all are expected to work inside the new facility after the animals are transferred, Beale said. See SHELTER, page 6

Door-to-door effort to promote vaccination, booster shots continues By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

At about 11 a.m. on a recent Wednesday morning, a small group of public health workers met outside the local health district office in Manassas. They quickly split into two teams and spent the next five hours going door-to-door to spread the word about an upcoming mobile vaccine clinic at Sudley Elementary School. It was all part of the local health district’s ongoing push to reach underserved communities where people may be hesitant to get vaccinated or may not have had the time, resources or easy access to the vaccine.

Local public health workers have been at this work for many months and say the extensive outreach effort has been vital in getting shots into arms. “We’re unique in that we’re meeting community members where they are,” said Heidi Tamke, a community engagement nurse with Prince William Health District. Tamke and her team planned to visit 141 businesses in the Sudley area over two days. At the top of their list were Manassas Mosque and the Islamic Community School, but they also planned to hit nearby restaurants, auto shops, churches, gas stations and hotels.

Mask use slipping across Va., researchers find The decline is worrying health officials as colder weather fuels new cases of COVID-19 By Kate Masters Virginia Mercury

Reported mask use in Virginia has been falling over the last several weeks, worrying public health experts as the winter holidays approach. The data on masking comes from scientists at the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute and Carnegie Mellon’s Delphi Research Group, which has been tracking trends in pandemic-related behaviors and activities since March 2020. Using a slew of resources, including daily Facebook surveys and anonymized cell phone data from the company SafeGraph, researchers have been able to track several pandemic-related data points — from vaccine acceptance to the number of people resuming trips to bars and restaurants. When it comes to masking, survey data indicates that use has dropped in Virginia since mid-September — the

peak of the state’s most recent delta surge. For most of that month, more than 65% of respondents reported regularly wearing masks in public. By mid-November, it had dropped to 62%, even as the average number of daily new cases again began to rise. A decline of three percentage points may not seem like much, but the gradual stagnation in mask use is worrying to health experts for multiple reasons. For one, data from the last year shows that masking has tended to plummet as COVID-19 metrics improve, leaving fewer people taking a layered approach to preventing transmission. In July, for example — as case counts in Virginia reached record lows — fewer than 40% of people reported regularly wearing masks in public. While it can be tempting to drop preventive strategies in the face of lower caseloads, a repeat of July’s numbers would be particularly troubling now, said Dr. Taison See COVID, page 6

Meeting them ‘where they are’ to fight COVID-19 VACCINATION PUSH, from page 1 Wearing brightly colored vests, they crisscrossed the area, knocking on doors and offering pamphlets about the upcoming clinic. For the most part, people are very receptive, Tamke says, and want to help spread the word. Meanwhile, another team went door to door in nearby neighborhoods – knocking on more than 300 doors and encouraging residents to get the vaccine at the upcoming clinic. Tamke said she knows the outreach is working because she occasionally sees people she meets while canvassing show up later at the mobile vaccine clinics. And sometimes, she said, they bring their friends or relatives with them. “There are still people changing their minds. We’re still giving first shots at almost every clinic,” Tamke said. Canvassers also stopped by Sudley Elementary School that morning to speak with school administrators about the upcoming clinic set for Tuesday, Nov. 23. The school’s parent coordinator, Mitzy Benitez, showed them the place in the school parking lot where the mobile clinic would set up shop. The Sudley Elementary School mobile vaccine clinic would be the first ever held at a Prince William County public school. Benitez said she asked for a mobile vaccine clinic there because the majority of the school’s nearly 700 students are economically disadvantaged and are English-language learners. Hispanic communities in Prince William County have been hit harder by the pandemic than other groups, accounting for a vastly disproportionate number of cases and hospitalizations in the health district, according the Virginia Department of Health. Federal officials authorized Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds in early November. Since then, more than 100,000 children have received their first dose – close to 15% of the state’s total population in that age group, according

to VDH data. Benitez said hosting the clinic at the school would allow students and their parents to receive the shots during school hours, and that parents could then bring their kids back to school when they are finished or take them home for the rest of the day depending on what time they arrive. Getting more local kids and adults vaccinated against COVID-19 – and providing booster shots to bolster waning immunity in those who already received their shots – is even more critical as the weather gets colder and the holidays draw near. Virginia saw its worst surges of the pandemic over the fall and winter holidays last year. Cases began to rise around Halloween 2020 and continued to soar – along with hospitalizations and deaths – though late January 2021. In Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, more than 60% of the population has been fully vaccinated, just shy of the statewide average of 64%. The county initially lagged far behind neighboring jurisdictions early in the vaccination effort, prompting the health district to launch the canvassing effort. Sean Johnson, a spokesperson for the Prince William Health District, said the district began sending contractors door-to-door in February, and likely were the first health district in Virginia to do so. Johnson said it all started with booths the health district set up in areas with heavy foot traffic where health workers would sign people up for their shots at either the Woodbridge or Manassas mass vacci-

nation clinics. That eventually expanded into the targeted canvassing efforts they do now. “Many may think it’s a waste of resources, but we have proved otherwise because wherever we go, we get shots in arms because of canvassing,” Johnson said. “We come face to face with the public and build a trust with them because they see those same faces in their neighborhoods, at the stores and at the clinics.” Johnson said the district’s canvassers are also helping promote the flu vaccine and, in the future, may help offer medication disposal bags and Narcan to Prince William County residents in an effort to combat the ongoing opioid overdose crisis.

‘Serious breaking point’ Local officials say additional judge is needed amid case backlog By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County’s Circuit Court judges are requesting the Virginia General Assembly elect an additional judge to the court amid a lengthy backlog of local cases. Prince William County’s six circuit court judges, Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth, Clerk of Court Jacqueline Smith and Chief Public Defender Tracey Lenox sent a 113-page request to the Virginia General Assembly’s House and Senate judiciary committees on Oct. 19, asking the legislature to add a seventh judge to the circuit court. In their request, they wrote a new judge is necessary “due to an increased case backlog, over-booked dockets, increased complexity of cases, changes to our court system and the diversity of the population we serve.” In the request, they wrote that Prince William County has had a case backlog since at least 2015, but that it has increased dramatically in the last two years because of a wide range of issues, including a shutdown in court hearings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and an increasing number of people who do not speak English and require a court interpreter. As of Oct. 1, the circuit court had 2,244 felony criminal cases that had been pending for over a year, the most of any county in Virginia with a similar number of judges, accord-

ing to data provided in the circuit court’s request. “Over the last six months, it has become extremely difficult for our judges to give every single case the attention and care it deserves. ... Our judicial resources are stretched thin. We need a seventh judge to fill in the gaps that continue to grow,” they wrote. Lenox said in her letter to the General Assembly that, “The court is at a serious breaking point today, but the pressure will inevitably build in the months to come. It is untenable; it results in patent unfairness to the users of our circuit court system, and the residents of Prince William County deserve better.” Smith wrote that language interpreters are a growing need in Prince William County’s courts, where more than a third of residents speak a language other than English as their primary language, but that there aren’t enough interpreters to meet the court’s demand. Smith said interpreters are in such high demand that the clerk’s office has resorted to redirecting interpreters away from the lower courts on at least a weekly basis in order to satisfy constitutional guarantees. Additionally, she said the Commonwealth’s Attorney and Public Defender have resorted to using non-certified interpreters to communicate with witnesses outside the courtroom because of the shortage. Also adding to the case backlog is an increase in jury trials as a re-

Judges in Virginia are selected for the bench by a process of legislative election that begins when a vacancy occurs in the judiciary or when a new seat is created by the General Assembly. Virginia is one of only two states where the legislature elects judges. State Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, who sits on the state Senate Judiciary Committee, said a new judgeship typically costs the state about $320,000. Surovell said he supports the request for a new judge. He said it was unlikely the Virginia General Assembly, whose House of Delegates will be under Republican control

next year, or Virginia Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) would try to stop or deny the election of a new judge in Prince William County. The Prince William Circuit Court, Virginia’s 31st Judicial Circuit, serves more than 530,000 people in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. Circuit courts are trial courts that handle serious criminal cases, civil cases with claims of more than $25,000 and family matters such as divorce. The Virginia General Assembly will decide in their 2022 spring session whether or not to elect an additional circuit court judge to Prince William County. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Commission report focuses on diverse police force, reforming SRO rules By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

After nearly a year of meetings, Prince William County’s newly formed Racial and Social Justice Commission released a first draft of its report, which includes dozens of recommendations for improving racial justice in Prince William County. The recommendations, released for the first time Thursday, Nov. 18, outline key areas in which commissioners believe the county can improve services to all residents – regardless of their race or ethnicity – by updating policies and practices of the county government, policing and local schools. They commission is scheduled to finalize its recommendations in the coming weeks before sending them to the board of county supervisors, which will have the final say over whether they are incorporated into county policies. The recommendations, if adopted, will ask the county to implement measures aimed at diversifying the county government and police department’s staff, further examining the role of school resource officers in county schools and funding independent studies of the police department’s use-of-force and traffic stop practices, among other things. Some of the suggestions are already being addressed because of initiatives taken by the county government, police department and school division independent of the commission. The recommendations were primarily informed by local data provided by county and state agencies, listening sessions with local ad-

vocacy groups and input from the commission’s “ex-officio” members, who include Police Chief Peter Newsham, County Executive Chris Martino, county Human Rights Chair Curtis Porter and School Board member Loree Williams (Woodbridge) during numerous meetings this year. Commissioners largely appeared to be in agreement about the direction of the drafts with the exception of those for county schools, which were the subject of tense debate. Some commissioners expressed concerns about whether enough local data had been collected to justify the policy suggestions. Some commissioners also debated language included in the policing recommendations that blamed higher rates of police officer retirement and resignations on “social justice challenges.” The discussion reflected existing tensions and philosophical differences between commissioners appointed by the Democratic and Republican supervisors. In the months since the commission began its work, Democratic appointees have sought to identify areas where county services could be more equitable, while Republican appointees have seemed more focused on determining whether any inequities currently exist.

Commission: Police need to study use-of-force, revise SRO memorandum

Significant recommendations are being made in the area of policing, with input from the police chief. Commissioners are recommending the board of county supervisors hire an independent contractor to examine the police department’s use-of-force

practices, fund an independent study to review police vehicle searches and revise the department’s memorandum of understanding with the school division regarding school resource officers. Those recommendations are in response to two recent reports that showed police officers in Prince William County were more likely to conduct vehicle searches and use force against Black residents than those of other racial and ethnic groups. Commissioners are also recommending a new, more detailed MOU between Prince William County schools and the police department that “outlin[es] clear duties and responsibilities of the SROs regarding the handling of minor offenses that occur in school, on school grounds and in school buses ... that should be enforced equally in every school to allow for organizational coherence.” In September, Newsham announced that the new MOU is already in the process of being revised. During several listening sessions hosted by the commission, community groups like the Prince William NAACP and CASA de Virginia raised concerns about disproportionate police encounters with African American students in school, the school-to-prison pipeline and students being arrested. The subcommittee report cites the high number of African American students who had been either charged or cited for disorderly conduct in county schools in Prince William County in recent years. See COMMISSION, page 4

Commission report focuses on diverse police force, reforming SRO rules COMMISSION, from page 3 In 2019, a Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice report found that between 2016 and 2018, Prince William County had the highest number of school-based disorderly conduct charges of any school division in the commonwealth. African American students accounted for 63% of those charges despite accounting for only 20% of the student body. Commissioners noted the issue had largely been addressed by a new state law that took effect in 2020 that prohibits the arrest of students for disorderly conduct during school, on school buses or at school sponsored events.

Lack of diversity in county, police workforce

Commissioners are also aiming to tackle a lack of diversity within the county government and the police department’s workforce. Prince William County is a majority non-white county. It is also the

most diverse county in Virginia, and the 10th most diverse county in the United States, according to newly released U.S. Census data. But the county’s police force is 75% white. To address the issue, the commission put forth recommendations to recruit new officers from “diverse locations,” such as historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions and military installations, and to ensure salaries are competitive with other agencies in the region. They also recommended opening up executive and leadership positions to external candidates rather than hiring those positions from within the police department, which is the current practice. Newsham said during the meeting that the department’s practice of hiring senior-level positions from within the department has made it “extremely difficult” to hire non-white people to those positions because the

force is disproportionately white. The commission’s subcommittee on policing also addressed what it said was “higher than usual” attrition by way of retirements and resignations in the county police force in 2020 and 2021. Its draft attributed the cause of high turnover to “social justice challenges” such as “defund the police, lenient sentences for convicted Capitol insurrectionists who assaulted police officers [and] COVID-19 vaccine mandates,” claims it said are supported by Prince William County police human resources data. Commissioners argued about the language and appeared to lean toward removing the purported causes of the turnover altogether. Most outspoken about the issue was Commissioner London Steverson, appointed by Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville. Steverson said he could not vote in favor of the commission’s final report unless it re-

moved the sentence stating that there had been “lenient sentences for convicted Capital insurrectionists.” Steverson insisted the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which resulted in five deaths and more than 600 federal criminal cases, was “a hoax.” “The January 6 events were more of a hoax than an insurrection. An insurrection is a violent uprising against a government or other established authority,” Steverson said. “The January 6 events were more of a hoax. It was a spectacle that lasted only a few hours. It caused only minimal damage.” The commission is also recommending the county government make efforts to hire more veterans, persons with disabilities and Hispanic people, all of whom are underrepresented in the county government’s workforce.

School policy recommendations criticized for lacking local data

The commission’s education subcommittee, which includes Williams, at-large Commissioner J.B. Akbar and Coles Commissioner Mac Haddow, submitted a report with more than 30 recommendations. But the report did not garner any support from Haddow over his concerns that committee’s report lacked important local data needed to justify their recommendations. Haddow was appointed to the commission by Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles. Those concerns were also shared by Commission Chair Shantell Rock, who was appointed by Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge. Rock said twice she believed the subcommittee had not been successful in obtaining data from the county school division. Even amid those concerns, Rock said she believes the draft was “ready for the board of county supervisors.” The recommendations would require the school division to implement dozens of new policies and conduct evaluations on a broad array of issues including school resource officers, school discipline and “equity scorecards.” But unlike the drafts submitted by the county government and policing subcommittees, the education recommendations include very little local data to support the new policies’ implementation. The draft recommendations cite dozens of “sources” derived from analysis and some national news reports but no local data, according to the draft document. Akbar, who chairs the education subcommittee, is a teacher at Freedom High School. He said during the meeting he didn’t believe obtaining data from the school division related to school resource officers and school discipline is necessary for the report. The Racial and Social Justice Commission will meet again on Thursday, Dec. 16 to finalize its recommendations. At a later, unspecified date, those recommendations will head to the board of county supervisors for a public hearing and a final vote. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

New animal shelter to open this week

Old vs. new: Prince William County’s new animal shelter, shown at the front of this drone photo, is about four times the size of the existing, 46-yearold animal shelter, shown at the rear of the photo.

SHELTER, from page 1 The existing animal shelter was built in 1975 and its replacement has been in the works since 2015. After animal advocates pushed for the cramped 46-year-old building to be enlarged and upgraded, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted in 2017 to build a $14.2 million shelter that would meet Association of Shelter Veterinarians guidelines. When the initial budget fell short of what was needed, the current board voted in March 2020 to boost the construction budget to $16.7 million. At that time, the shelter was slated to open in the fall of 2021. The new shelter is more than 27,000 square feet – about four times the size of the existing shelter – and will accommodate as many as 106 cats and 56 dogs. While the shelter’s staff and resident animals will move into the facility soon, an opening celebration is not planned until the new building is fully operational, which is expected sometime next year, Beale said. But the wait for a grand opening has not dampened the spirits of local

residents who are excited about the opening of the new facility. In preparation for the move, the shelter posted on its Facebook page last week about a need for new animal beds at the new facility and asked for donations. “Soon our shelter animals will be transferred over to our new facility, and we want to make sure they have comfortable beds to rest their heads on when they arrive. Quality rest reduces stress in adoptable pets. When pets sleep bet-

ter, they behave better, which makes them more adoptable,” the post said. One day later, the shelter announced it had reached its target goal for donated beds in just four hours and thanked the community for its support. “We called and they answered. We expected a few beds to be bought, but all of them was a surprise,” Beale said, adding: “It is always great to see the outpour[ing] of support for the animal shelter. We

Lake Ridge couple dies in domestic shooting A married couple in their 30s was found dead from gunshot wounds early Saturday morning in their Lake Ridge home in what appears to be a domestic shooting, according to Prince William County police. Officers arrived at the home, located in the 11500 block of Bertram Street, a residential area off Springwoods Drive in the Lake Ridge area of Woodbridge, at about 3:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 20, where they found the couple, Moneer Nasafi, 36, and Mariam Yusefi, 34, suffering from gun-

shot wounds. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, according to Officer Wade Dickinson, a Prince William County police spokesman. The cause and manner of death remain under investigation, but police are not searching for a suspect. The firearm that is believed to have been involved in the incident was found at the home, Dickinson said in a news release. “There is no threat to the community,” the release said. The investigation continues.

Mask use slipping across Va., researchers find COVID, from page 2 Bell, an infectious disease specialist at UVA. The highly infectious delta variant now accounts for virtually all new coronavirus infections in Virginia, according to data from the state Department of Health, and it’s changed the risk calculus for certain behaviors. While breakthrough cases are still relatively rare, vaccination can’t single-handedly stop someone from catching or spreading the disease. “Delta created a big shift in how easily the virus spreads, and it makes it that much more important to not rely on any one thing to stop transmission,” Bell said. Surveying also shows that unvaccinated Virginians — particularly those who are most resistant to the idea of getting the shots — are the least likely to be wearing masks. That creates a particular risk amid colder weather and the holiday season as more people gather together indoors. Some states — and several countries in Europe — are already struggling with fresh waves of the virus. Biocomplexity Institute researchers noted that Virginia often lags behind other states when it comes to the timing of new surges. “Going into the winter, knowing that vaccine

immunity does decrease for most people and can still lead to more severe infections in higher risk folks — it makes absolutely no sense to let up on mask use right now,” Bell said. Compared to last year, Virginia is still in a much better place when it comes to new waves of infection. Almost 77% of the state’s adult population is fully vaccinated, according to VDH, and roughly 87% has received at least one dose. Nearly 19% of the state’s 5- to 11-year-olds have been vaccinated since the shots were authorized for the age group earlier this month. Bell said those rates of uptake make it highly unlikely that Virginia will see the same type of widespread surge it did last winter, when the state — on some days — recorded hundreds of COVID-19 deaths. Instead, it’s more likely the state will see regional waves in communities with low vaccination rates. Those geographic disparities are already emerging in the data. Some localities, like the highly vaccinated Fairfax County, have reported fewer than 10 hospitalizations a day for most of November. Southwest Virginia, on the other hand, is continuing to struggle with severe infections.

Suspect identified but still sought in Potomac Malls shooting Prince William County police have identified an 18-year-old Dumfries man as a suspect in a Nov. 18 shooting at the Potomac Mills Mall that left one man with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred amid a fight between two patrons at Fashion Mechanics, a clothing store near Five Below. Multiple shots rang out near the front of the store at about 3:09 p.m. on that Thursday afternoon, alarming shoppers throughout the mall and forcing a brief lockdown. Following their investigation into the incident, Prince William County police detectives obtained arrest warrants for Jamarion Dawan Jackson, 18, but attempts to locate him have so far been unsuccessful, according to Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County Police Department spokeswoman. Jackson’s last known address was in the 18200 block of Kilmer Lane in Triangle. He is described as a black male, 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. He has short black hair and brown eyes, Carr said in a news release. Jackson is wanted for arrest on charges of aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, discharging a firearm in an occupied building, possession of a concealed weapon and destruction of property, the release said. Both Jackson and the shooting victim, who has not been identified by police, allegedly fled the store after the shooting occurred. The victim was identified after he arrived at a nearby hospital for treatment of his gunshot wounds, the release said. There were multiple employees inside the store at the time of the shooting but there were no other injuries. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact police at 703-792-6500.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Candland can’t leave Gainesville without a voice – or a vote – on the rural crescent Prince William County Supervisor Pete Candland’s Gainesville neighborhood is next to the proposed “digital gateway” area and inside the 2,000 acres being considered for data centers under the county’s planned expansion of its data center overlay district. Prince William County resident and developer Mary Ann Ghadban’s initial request to consider 600 acres along Pageland Lane for future data centers has exploded to a review of 2,000 acres in the rural crescent. The area includes Candland’s neighborhood, Catharpin Farm Estates, which has filed a comprehensive plan amendment to destroy their homes and community to allow industry to come in and plow down their lives because they don’t want to live next to industry or the proposed Bi-County Parkway that might come with it. There is no public water or sewer in this region, and new power lines might have to be built! Pete’s community doesn’t want to be pushed out and have their land taken for the Bi-County Parkway and industrial expansion. Families move to the rural crescent for a country road life, and this board of supervisors is hell bent on

destroying its dreams and forcing residents to relocate because of their ill-thought-out visions that only a handful of people want! The existing overlay covers around 8,700 acres. By comparison, in Loudoun County—the largest data center market in the world— data centers currently occupy about 2,000 acres, according to the Piedmont Environmental Council. Supervisor Candland needs to resign. He has recused himself from any vote on the rural crescent. He has NO vote and NO voice and cannot represent his community! It is a sad situation that Board of County Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler and those in favor of the destruction of the watershed – which provides public water to 2 million residents – as well as the environment, air quality and quality of life, support the Bi-County Parkway, which would bring traffic like that on Interstate 66 to Va. 234 all the way to Interstate 95. They have put Supervisor Candland in this predicament! Thank you for your service, Pete, but do the right thing! All citizens need a voice and vote! LORI FENN Coles District

No data centers in the rural crescent I want to voice my opposition to rezoning the rural crescent for data centers. There is absolutely no necessity to do this. Just a few years ago, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors had the wisdom and foresight to designate an appropriate area of ample size for data center use. That ordinance states: “The Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District was created for the purpose of promoting development of data centers within areas of the county where there is existing infrastructure that could adequately support the proposed use. This district continues the county’s efforts to attract and advance high-tech industrial development while limiting negative impacts to communities.” Are the supervisors no longer interested in “limiting negative impacts to communities”? Why would the BOCS advocate desecrating the rural crescent when data centers could easily be located within the overlay district without public outcry? Is it to placate a small minority of landowners who hope to reap a windfall by selling out their neigh-

bors? Is it to show we are “business friendly” to wealthy corporations that will contribute little to remedy the inevitable environmental and infrastructure liabilities they create? Supposedly, the BOCS is just “studying” the issue. How would they feel if powerful interests were “studying” how to ruin their community? Our own Supervisor Pete Candland recently demonstrated how he believes these “studies” will turn out. He reluctantly agreed to sell his home in the area and is now “studying” somewhere else to live. His surrender leaves our area without representation on this most consequential issue. He must resign and make way for someone who can take up the fight. I implore our elected representatives to act responsibly and serve the public interest. Allowing data centers within the rural crescent is an awful idea with irrevocable consequences. Oppose! BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

Inflation, waning tax revenue must be considered in data center debate “Opposition Mounts Against Rural Crescent Data Center Plan,” published Nov. 18, is not a surprise given the environmental, water resource and quality of life impacts of this proposal. Something else that should be taken into consideration when determining the real costs of this project is the recent passage of the national infrastructure law. Communities across the U.S. will be starting massive infrastructure projects, all around the same time frame, and all competing for already scarce supplies of skilled workers and materials. Because the county’s rural crescent has virtually no water infrastructure, and data centers have massive water needs, costs in an inflationary era where skilled workers and materials are scarce could easily negate some or all of the hoped-for data center tax profits.

Plus, a tech-flex/industrial zone will likely reduce real estate tax revenue in surrounding areas as they may become fewer desirable areas in which to live. If we need more data centers, we should place them in the [existing] overlay area, which was designed for this use. The less we rely on building costly new infrastructure during an era of inflation, building material and labor scarcity, the more profit the county can derive from data centers. As I researched this topic, I came across information that [tax revenue derived from] data centers [are] high the first couple of years but then may fizzle due to computer asset depreciation. If we put data centers where we need to spend too much on infrastructure, we may just end up with the fizzle. ALLY STOEGER Gainesville

County’s lack of an office of early childhood education leaves funding on the table Dr. Myra Sawyer’s article [“Why Prince William County needs an office of childhood education – today,” published Nov. 18] is so important to the greater Prince William area. Prince William County has left millions of state and federal dollars on the table since we have no agency to flow the childcare dollars into to distribute them. The pandemic only heightened the crisis in childcare. Prince William, City of Manassas and Manassas Park need to work together to move forward on creating an office of early childhood education to serve our most vulnerable population of residents, those from birth to age 5.

From trash to Transformers The story behind the giant Bumblebee on U.S. 29 By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

The popular Transformers’ character “Bumblebee” that captivates audiences on the big screen is now wowing motorists along U.S. 29 in Warrenton, thanks to a very talented Meadows Farms delivery truck driver. Meadows Farms has an annual fall festival, and part of the celebration is a “giant scarecrow” competition among its multiple Northern Virginia locations. Rick Clark, 60, created Bumblebee at his Warrenton farm as this year’s entry for Meadows Farms’ Warrenton location on Lee Highway. Bumblebee won. And it is easy to see why. At 15 feet tall with a 10-foot arm span, Bumblebee towers above U.S. 29 and beckons passersby to stop and take a look. A closer inspection reveals that Bumblebee is in fact made of nothing but junk. Clark had a vision for these scraps and leftovers and turned them into a magnificent spectacle. “When I was assembling the body parts in front of the store, a little boy’s eyes got big when he recognized it as Bumblebee. I knew I had it,” Clark said. Clark is a longtime employee of Meadows Farms Nursery in Warrenton. He said that his mother and brother were both talented at drawing, but he wasn’t. He was interested in sculpture and putting pieces together to form new things. Clark has used his talents to win Meadows Farms fall festival giant

scarecrow competition five times. In previous years, he created gigantic versions of Popeye, Charlie Brown, Winnie the Pooh and Ryder from Paw Patrol. “I used different materials to create those other figures, mostly foam, caulk and latex,” he said. “This year was different, I used scrap parts and stuff I found around my farm and screwed it together to make Bumblebee.” Clark said he had been thinking about creating Bumblebee for years because a child had once asked him: “Why didn’t you make a Transformer?” Clark decided this year would be the year he would take on the challenge. So when the Warrenton location staff voted on what character to create this year, he was able to influence them to choose Bumblebee because he was already thinking about how he could create it. Clark got to work in late summer and spent every spare minute he had for more than five weeks to create Bumblebee. The project was on Clark’s mind constantly. “I was thinking about it all the time,” he said, explaining that it took plenty of mental focus to figure out just how to place the scrap parts and recycled materials he had sitting around his property to make Bumblebee come to life. Working four to five hours each weeknight and then 10 hours over the weekends, Clark managed to complete Bumblebee and beat the contest’s Oct. 1 deadline by more than two weeks. Clark used plastic jugs, storage tubs and lids, tires, gears, belts, PVC

Bumblebee won. and corrugated pipes, and even plastic lawn chairs in his creation. Bumblebee’s fingers are old clamps Clark had used for lumber, and the chest piece is from a rubber car bumper. “I picked up the bumper from a median in the road three years ago. I kept driving by it thinking I should pick it up because I knew, eventually, I would use it for something,” he said. “One day I grabbed it and threw it in my truck. It turned out to be the perfect chest piece for Bumblebee.” The only supplies Clark purchased were the yellow paint, clear tubing and the screws he used to put it all together. When he was done creating Bumblebee’s abdomen and appendages, he transported them from his farm to the nursery in a dump truck. Clark said the pieces themselves are not that heavy because they are mostly made of plastic but probably weigh about 200 pounds or so collectively. Clark said his final step was to put all the pieces together and affix everything to a telephone pole to display it near the nursery’s entrance. Katrina Whitten, a salesclerk at Meadows Farms in Warrenton, said since Bumblebee was erected in the store’s pumpkin patch near the roadside, “People drive by, and they do a double-take.” “You can see them from their cars

thinking, ‘There’s a Transformer on the side of the road!’” Whitten said Bumblebee won the Meadows Farms scarecrow contest “by a long shot,” adding: “As soon as it was posted, everybody said, ‘OK, let’s call it a contest now because nobody’s getting better than that.’” Whitten said the store gave the $200 in prize money from the contest directly to Clark. As word about Bumblebee has spread, people have called the nursery to ask if they can come visit and take pictures – all of which are welcomed by Meadows Farms. Whitten said one family came “all decked out in Transformers costumes” and took pictures with Bumblebee because their kids were “obsessed with Bumblebee.” Clark said he is glad Bumblebee has made people happy and plans to take the Transformer back to his farm and set it up there when the nursery closes for winter. “I am a delivery truck driver, so I see people looking at Bumblebee sometimes as I drive in and out,” he said. “Sitting back and watching people enjoy it is my reward.” To see Bumblebee in person, visit Meadows Farms in Warrenton at 5074 Lee Highway. He’ll be standing guard over the nursery through the end of the year. Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ gmail.com.

‘Night of Lights’ event to open without drive-thru display By Cher Muzyk

Night of Lights on the Fairgrounds

Contributing Writer

The Prince William County Fairgrounds’ inaugural “Night of Lights on the Fairgrounds” event is set to open Friday, Nov. 26, two weeks later than initially planned and without a promised drive-thru light display, due in part to county permitting issues. The event, initially advertised to open Nov. 12, was delayed two weeks because of those issues as well as global supply chain challenges, according to Diane Burke, a fairgrounds manager. The event will now feature “a bigger and better Christmas Village experience” that will include themed light displays synchronized to festive music, barns decorated with colorful lights and Christmas trees, a maze and floor games for kids, such as Tic Tac Toe and corn hole, and a Gingerbread House. On some evenings, carols and sing-a-longs will be performed by local school choirs, Burke said. Night of Lights will also feature five carnival rides for kids for an additional cost. The event was initially advertised to feature a 1-mile-long, drive-thru light display, but those plans were dashed when the fairgrounds was unable to receive a necessary “temporary activity permit” from Prince William County. County zoning officials took action against the fairgrounds earlier this year as a result of its repeated failure to obtain required building permits and inspections for events held in conjunction with Garden Bros. Circus last spring and summer, according to Wade Hugh, the county’s director of development services.

When: Nightly, 6 to 10 p.m., Friday, Nov. 26 through Sunday, Jan. 9 Where: Prince William County Fairgrounds, 10624 Dumfries Road, Manassas. Tickets: $12 for adults, $8 for kids (age 3 to 10). Can be purchased at the door or in advance via Eventbrite.

A pig barn at the Prince William County Fairgrounds is ready for the inaugural “Night of Lights” event, which opens this Friday, Nov. 26 and runs through Jan. 9. Because the fairgrounds held the circus without required county approvals, the county revoked its ability to receive a TAP for one year beginning last July 9, according to a county letter obtained by the Prince William Times. The fairgrounds subsequently appealed the decision to the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals, but it was denied, according to Prince William County Zoning Administrator Lisa Fink-Butler. When asked for comment, Burke said the permit is a moot point because the lights ordered for the event are caught up in ongoing shipping delays. “In order to have a drive-thru, we have to have a TAP, which we cannot get. But we don’t have the lights anyway. So it’s really a moot point at this time,” Burke said, adding: “But the Christ-

mas Village is definitely opening on Friday. There will be no delay for that because we have everything that we need.” The fairgrounds is allowed to offer certain activities by-right, including fairs and carnivals, without a TAP. County building and electrical permits and inspections are required, however, Hugh said. Burke said Night of Lights will offer plenty of space for attendees to sit and enjoy the colorful lights, holiday décor and music. Food trucks will rotate nightly, and there will be holiday treats such as soup, hot cocoa and s’mores kits available for sale. The fairground plans to offer four or five fire pits onsite to allow attendees to make s’mores or just relax near and warm up. County officials say the fairgrounds will need an operational permit from the fire marshal’s office to offer fire pits, however. Burke said there has been lots of interest in the Christmas Village and brisk advance ticket sales. Refunds are available to those who already purchased tickets for the canceled drive-thru event, she said. Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@gmail.com

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY BOYS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PREVIEW

PATRIOT, WOODBRIDGE AND FREEDOM LOOK LOADED. MANASSAS PARK, TOO. By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

It’s time to take sports inside. High school basketball season commences next week with Prince William County boys squads from Haymarket, Manassas and the Woodbridge area ready to strut their stuff. Last season’s COVID-shortened campaigns ended in February with Potomac coming within one win of the Class 6 state title. Patriot made the region finals and Woodbridge made the region semis.

Returning powers Patriot, Woodbridge and Potomac are planning on more success, with Battlefield, Hylton, Forest Park, and Manassas Park optimistic about a strong winter. Osbourn Park, Gar-Field, Osbourn and Colgan could surprise people. Meanwhile, the new Gainesville Cardinals, the county’s 13th high school, tip off their inaugural season under coach Justin Powers. The Prince William Times previews all the boys teams:

CARDINAL DISTRICT POTOMAC PANTHERS

FILE PHOTO

Coach’s son Kyle Honore is back to lead Potomac’s storied program.

-Coach: Keith Honore (17th year) -Last season: 13-1 -Expected contributors: Kyle Honore, Terrance Bethea, Frankie Lee -Web: PotomacAthletics.net -Twitter: @PotomacBlue -What’s up? High school basketball is a game of constant turnover. Coach Keith Honore led the Panthers to the Class 6 state championship game where they suffered their lone defeat of the season to eventual champion Centreville.

Then eight of his top nine players graduated, and now Honore says he’s starting “from ground zero.” Potomac lacks experience, but not talent nor size. Kyle Honore is a returning all-state guard. Senior Frankie Lee and sophomore Terrance Bethea measure 6-foot-4. Although it’ll be a different Potomac team than in recent seasons, Honore’s characteristic up-tempo style that has won two state crowns remains unchanged. He expects the Panthers to make another deep postseason run.

FREEDOM EAGLES

WOODBRIDGE VIKINGS

-Coach: James West (16th year) -Last season: 2-6 -Expected contributors: Isaiah Wimbush, Jalen West, Jordan Perkins -Web: FreedomHSVA.rschoolteams.com -Twitter: @FreedomHSHoops -What’s up? Coming off a 6-2 record in their preseason scrimmages, Freedom looks ready to roll. The Eagles will tackle a tough schedule with a core of six top performers who present “a matchup nightmare,” coach James West said. Returning seniors Jalen West and Isaiah Wimbush are athletic ballhandlers and shooters, averaging 11 and 13 points last season. Junior Jordan Perkins scored 12 points per game a year ago. Transfer guards Shamar Sisco and Tavarres Riley, both sophomores in from top private schools, figure to contribute right away. A sixth contributor, sophomore guard Elijah Reid, will return when Freedom’s football season is complete. West wants his team to use its athleticism, running high-tempo offense created by trapping defense.

-Coach: Courtney Coffer (6th year) -Last season: 10-3, region semis -Expected contributors: Michael Cooper, Dylan Simmons, Malik Hunter, Jaiden Edwards, Brian Jackson -Web: WoodbridgeHS.rschoolteams.com -Twitter: @VikingPride -What’s up? The Vikings won a lot last season, and they figure to win again and again this year. Woodbridge returns five top contributors, led by 6-foot-3 all-district guard Michael Cooper and his 12 points per game. Point guard Malik Hunter dished 4.7 assists per game last year, while Dylan Simmons averaged eight points a contest. Guard Jaiden Edwards and 6-foot-6 wing Brian Jackson are back as prominent parts of coach Courtney Coffer’s rotation. Stepping up fro JV are 6-7 forward Riley Jacobs and 6-3 guard Denzel Lambert, both of whom could make an impact this year. Relying on his team’s quickness and intensity, Coffer’s primary goal is to win the Cardinal District’s regular season.

GAR-FIELD RED WOLVES

HYLTON BULLDOGS

-Coach: Jason Bell (9th year) -Last season: 1-9 -Expected contributors: Isaiah Crockett, Chancellor Perkins, Daunte Williams -Web: GarFieldAthletics.org -Twitter: @GFHSBoysBBall -What’s up? Coach Jason Bell is looking for his Gar-Field team to get better as the season goes along, but he already has talent to work with. High-scoring guard Chancellor Perkins is back after earning all-district honors as a freshman. Fellow sophomore Daunte Williams is a presence both offensively and defensively. Six-foot-5 senior Isaiah Crockett is a force inside. What the Wolves need is experience, Bell said. With a hard-nosed defensefirst mentality, Bell said he expects Gar-Field to play its best by season’s end.

-Coach: Barry Smith (16th year) -Last season: 7-7, region 1st round -Expected contributors: Lucas Scroggins, Kelby Garnett, Rodney Johnson -Web: HyltonHS.pwcs.edu/our_school/student_activities/athletics -Twitter: @HyltonAthletics -What’s up? There’s no shortage of experience on the Hylton roster. Barry Smith boasts 11 seniors, including athletic 6-foot-6 win Lucas Scroggins and all-district scoring guard Kelby Garnett. Fellow senior Rodney Johnson is a rim-protector and rebounder at 6-foot-8. Transfers Chance Cathcart and Tyler Rekdal figure to contribute. Using a moderate tempo, Smith looks for his senior-laden team to grow from its region tourney appearance last season. See BASKETBALL, page 16

COLGAN REIGNS SUPREME, COMPLETES STATE TITLE RUN!

Grace Smith (No. 13) and Brielle Kemavor (No. 17) rejoice after the Colgan High volleyball team made history last Friday night, downing Herndon 25-17, 26-24, 21-25, 25-21 to win the Class 6 state title at Richmond’s Siegel Center. The Sharks (27-4) took the first state title in any sport in the school’s six-year history and became the first Prince William County school to win a state volleyball title since Forest Park in 2003.

COLGAN SHARKS -Coach: Jason John (6th year) -Last season: 4-7 -Expected contributors: Chance Lundy, Christian Eppley, Micah Ferguson, Skyler Smith -Web: ColganSharkAthletics.org -Twitter: @ColganHoops -What’s up? Jason John’s roster is a mix of old and new. The veteran Colgan coach returns starting guard Chance Lundy and six reserves from last year, plus seven new faces. One of them is D’Vell Garrison Jr.,

a senior guard who played at Colgan as a freshman, transferred out and just transferred back. After coming off the bench last year, Skyler Smith, Micah Ferguson, Christian Eppley, and Troy Gulley are in line for greater roles. Freshman Nate Ament and Eann Pennix are expected to earn minutes. With his roster made over, Bell hopes the Sharks emerge as a trendy up-and-comer.

BRENTSVILLE TIGERS -Coach: Chris Lewis (2nd year) -Last season: 2-7 -Expected contributors: Stay tuned. -Web: BrentsvilleDistrictVA. rschoolteams.com -Twitter: @BDBasketball -What’s up? Chris Lewis is waiting for his stars to come out. He has 11 possible contributors on his Brentsville Tigers team, but doesn’t know yet who’ll step up.

The coach’s preseason goal has been “to get better every day,” and despite some ups and downs, his team of mostly returning players has improved. Brentsville isn’t blessed with size, Lewis said, so playing smart and aggressive will be key to reaching the Tigers’ goal of a .500 campaign and perhaps a regional tourney appearance.

-Coach: Gary Chicko (8th year) -Last season: 6-6, region 2nd round -Expected contributors: Payton Simmons, Jace Garza, Devin Chambers, Isaac Malik-Duarte -Web: MParkSports.com -Twitter: @MPCougars -What’s up? Gary Chicko’s Cougars will go as far as a talented quartet of seniors take them. Dynamic all-state point guard Payton Simmons runs the team. An inside-out threat, Simmons scored 19.4 points per game last season. All-

region shooting guard Jace Garza went for 15.4 points. Both are top defenders and lead the Cougars in rebounding. Guards Devin Chambers and Isaac Malik-Duarte are back after averaging 10 and 8 points, respectively. But now Chicko adds some inside presence with emerging senior Abdullahi Abdullahi and junior Jordan McGlawn, both 6-foot-4. Winning the Class 3 Northwestern District and making a run to states would make for a successful campaign, Chicko said. See BASKETBALL, page 17

BATTLEFIELD BOBCATS -Coach: Randy Bills (8th year) -Last season: 8-4, region 1st round -Expected contributors: Maddux Tennant, Chase Nelson, Ryan Derderian -Web: BobcatsPride.org -Twitter: @BattlinBobcatz -What’s up? There’s a lot of variety to the Bobcats’ lineup. Juniors Maddux Tennant and Ty Gordon are all-district returners, while senior transfer guards Chase Nelson and Jonathan Warren will make their impacts. Tennant and Nelson figure to be the Bobcats’ top shooters. Guards Ryan Derderian and Manny King, along with 6-foot-4 power forward Bryce Hammersley, will step into larger roles. Randy Bills said he has a defensive-minded team that’s still working out its offensive style.

GAINESVILLE CARDINALS

OSBOURN EAGLES

-Coach: Justin Powers (1st year) -Last season: This is the program’s first year -Expected contributors: Grant Polk, Phoenix Shahateet, Trevor Moody, Artem Hurtovenko -Web: GainesvilleCardinals.com -Twitter: @GainesvilleBoys -What’s up? The brand-new Gainesville Cardinals have zero players with previous varsity experience, so this is an evolving experiment that should improve over time. The Cardinals enter their first hoops season helmed by veteran coach Justin Powers, who already boasts a core of sophomores to build from. Grant Polk and Artem Hurtovenko are skilled 6-foot-4 wings. Phoenix Shahateet is an athletic scorer. Trevor Moody is Gainesville’s top on-ball defender. Six-foot-4 post Greg Davidson and fellow freshman Julian Shahateet, a guard, have caught Powers’ eye. With the top six of eight Cedar Run teams making the district tournament, Powers aims for the newborn Cardinals to be one of them.

-Coach: Rocky Carter (9th year) -Last season: 3-8 -Expected contributors: Tey Barbour, Idris Johnson, Simon Walakira, Mah’Khia Brown -Web: OsbournAthletics.org -Twitter: @OsbournBoysBB -What’s up? Osbourn has six seniors, led by varsity returnee Diego Aviles, who is just getting back from football. With most of the seniors new, coach Rocky Carter calls his group “very inexperienced,” and he emphasizes very. The Eagles skew young, with Carter putting as many as four sophomores on the floor at once at times. Carter does bring back all-district sophomore guard Tey Barbour and third-year varsity forward Idris Johnson, a shooting threat. Sophomore forward Brenden Ahlers has elevated his game in the off-season, Carter said, and figures see significant minutes. Junior Simon Walakira mans the point, while junior forward Mah’Khia Brown impresses with his tenacity and work ethic. Aviles and seniors Quinten Davis and Carson Hinebaugh will soon join the squad from football.

PATRIOT PIONEERS -Coach: Sherman Rivers (6th year) -Last season: 12-3, region champ game -Expected contributors: Nick Marrero, Courtney Davis, Jay Randall, Nasir Coleman -Web: PatriotPioneers.org -Twitter: @PatriotHoops -What’s up? The Pioneers are on quite a roll. They’ve won four Cedar Run District titles and one Region B championship over the past four years. Sherman Rivers thinks his team is ready for more.

Rivers has one of the most athletic teams he’s ever had, he said. Junior point guard Nasir Coleman is back after earning all-district honorable mention. Senior guards Nick Marrero and Courtney Davis return, as does 6-foot-3 junior forward Jay Randall. Sophomore guards Dezmond Hopkins and Brady Page figure to make contributions after last season, when Hopkins made varsity and Page helped Patriot’s JV team go undefeated. With a fast-pace style, Rivers said he’s excited about the upside of his team this year.

OSBOURN PARK YELLOW JACKETS -Coach: Jeremy Coleman (4th year) -Last season: 3-7 -Expected contributors: Logan Dwyer, Daniel Salguero, Trey Terrell -Web: OPJackets.org -Twitter: @OPJacketsHoops

-What’s up? Only three seniors occupy coach Jeremy Coleman’s roster, leaving Coleman in teaching mode this preseason. The Jackets return shooting guard and captain Logan Dwyer and add transfer point guard Daniel Salguero. Trey Terrell is a sophomore who saw

substantial varsity action a year ago. Despite the relative inexperience, Coleman aims to develop the Jackets into a top-3 program in the district this season with aggressive defense and opportunistic offense.

OBITUARIES Senie Devlin Gibson Senie Devlin Gibson of Bristow, Virginia passed away at her home on Friday, September 24, 2021. Born on November 5, 1932 to the late John Paul Devlin and Mildred Beach Devlin , of Manassas, Virginia. She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Leslie D Gibson, her daughter, Sharon Payne of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and her sister, Pauline Henry of Browntown, Virginia Senie is survived by her son, Garnett, and wife Doreen of Livingstone, Texas; her sisters, Betty Rosemond of Glen Burie, Maryland; June Gough of Brandy Station, Virginia and Ellen Baily Elliston of Virginia. Senie spent her formative years in St. Joseph’s, an orphanage school in Richmond, Va. where she was allowed to have a pony. During her stay she honed her love of animals, something she carried with her throughout her life. Her collection included a pet skunk named Beau, a Schnauzer named Joshua, and Emmy, her horse. Her continuing commitment to animals was demonstrated by volunteering her time and donations to a variety of animal rescues throughout Virginia. Senie’s sense of order, love of carrots, and filet mignon, as well as a genuine interest in her country’s political scene could be appreciated on any given day. She was quick to give an opinion, with absolutely no doubt and an unpredictable level of energy. Memorial contributions can be made to one of the many animal rescues in need in the state of Virginia.

Kathryn Trudeau Kitti Trudeau was born August 22, 1950 in Rapid City South Dakota, the daughter of Jane E. and Vincent J. Trudeau. She was the fourth of seven children, with an idyllic childhood growing up in Cleghorn Canyon of the Black Hills on the outskirts of Rapid City. She reveled in family camping adventures and misadventures, along with endless tyranny over the local boys. Kitti’s favorite pastime was caring for and riding one of the family horses, particularly the one she claimed, Sheba. Kitti attended public schools in Rapid City, graduating in 1968. Her energy and determination was exemplified as a cheerleader and being the first person to finish a 26 mile walk/race from Rapid City to Mount Rushmore. While attending the University of South Dakota, she met and married Les McFarling. Her strong will certainly helped her while working and attending college as a student, during which time, she gave birth to her first son, Mark in 1970 and then Ryan in 1974. She was determined to stay on class schedule with her second pregnancy, missing class on Thursday but surprising classmates by being back in class on Monday. Soon thereafter, the young family moved to San Antonio, Texas where Kitti enrolled at The University of Texas, and changed her major from psychology to accounting. She graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1978 to launch her accounting career -- following the footsteps of her Grandfather and mother. In 1978 the family moved again to Sterling, Virginia, and finally settled in Warrenton, VA. Focused and determined, Kitti quickly passed the CPA exam while working for the Manassas office of a Richmond based accounting firm. Once in Warrenton, Kitti began her private accounting practice in 1983. In 1986, the family jumped into renovating the old house at 48 North Sixth Street—the house on the hill, where she kept her practice until her untimely demise. Kitti was preceded in death by her mother (Jane) and father (Vince), and her oldest brother Dennis and sister-in-law, Susan. Her survivors include her ex-husband Les McFarling, siblings: Guy, Jane (William) Larson, William, Mary and John (Nipasiri); her son Mark, her son Ryan and daughter-in-law Julia, nine nieces and nephews, and a host of friends, clients and Warrenton acquaintances—and her pets. Strong willed and resolute, she called it the way she saw it and didn’t mince words. It might be said that Kitti liked the company of people, but loved her animals. She was a woman of character and grit. She will be missed. A memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, December 4, 2021 at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 271 Winchester Street, Warrenton starting at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Fauquier County SPCA, P.O. Box 733, Warrenton, VA 20188-0733. Online condolences may be expressed to Kitti’s family at www. moserfuneralhome.com

Edward “Ed” Joseph Gannon Edward “Ed” Joseph Gannon, age 62, of Haymarket, VA, passed away unexpectedly November 17, 2021, at Novant UVA Prince William Medical Center in Manassas, VA. He was born August 21, 1959, in Lowell Massachusetts, the son of Richard G Gannon and Agnes (Stevenson) Gannon. Ed graduated from Lowell Vocational School, class of 1977. Following graduation, he served with the United States Air Force in Germany until 1982. Shortly after leaving the Air Force, he stumbled into what would become his dream career, becoming an air traffic controller for the Federal Aviation Administration. This is where he met his wife, Mary Stewart, at the New York Tracon in Long Island, where they both worked. Ed and Mary celebrated 33 years of marriage in June. Prior to retirement, Ed worked his way up to the FAA Command Center in Warrenton, VA. Here Ed earned many accomplishments, his proudest one was when his picture was in The Washington Post. Ed went on to work for JMA, a government contractor with the FAA, because he was not ready to completely retire his love of air traffic control after his retirement from the FAA. In his spare time, Ed had a passion for coaching little league for his grandson and best bud, Oliver “Ollie.” Ed’s other passions included fishing, biking, golfing, and building things around the house. Ed was predeceased by his parents. Ed is survived by his wife Mary S. Gannon, his son Edward “Eddie” S. Gannon, his daughter Ashley (Gannon) Knight and her husband Gabe, and his grandson Oliver S. Knight. He is also survived by his sister, Katherine Gannon, brother Richard Gannon and wife Charlotte, brother Hugh Gannon and wife Brenda, brother Patrick Gannon, and brother Thomas Gannon. A visitation will be held on Saturday, November 27, 2021, from 2:00-4:00 PM at Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street Manassas, VA. A memorial service will be held on Monday, December 20, 2021, at 12:00 PM at Pierce Funeral Home.

Patrick Michael Markham Patrick Michael Markham (Poppy, Pops, Birdman), age 69, unexpectedly passed on November 5, 2021, at Prince William Hospital surrounded by family and love. Pat was born on July 31, 1952, in Washington, D.C. to the late Thomas and Joan Markham. He grew up in Fairfax City amongst the Fairview Gang. He was the second oldest of their seven children together. Pat was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather who enjoyed every day of his life that involved his family. He was self-employed as the President of an Interior Architectural Design Company. In his free time, he touched the lives of many through his love of music and playing his guitar. Although, he could play any instrument you put in front of him. As a lifelong native of the Northern Virginia area, his work and personal life had an impact on many communities in development. He loved to fish and teach others how to enhance their skills in the sport. Pat married Sandra Lee Markham on September 23, 1978, in Falls Church forever in love and celebrated 43 anniversaries together. Through their love, he will be forever remembered in the hearts of his daughter, Jillian Leigh West, her husband, Damien Robert West and his grandchildren Trenton Patrick, Kayli Nicole, Damien Tyler, and Avari Rose. Pat will be fondly remembered by his son Shannon Dee Williams, his wife Lizzie Ware Williams, his grandchildren Victoria BreAnne, Veronica Danielle, Valerie Brooke, Ethan Taylor, Gabrielle Grace, Savannah Caroline, and his great grandchildren Jameson, Carson, Bradlee, and Paisley. He is survived by his siblings Kathleen Marion Kearns, Eileen Heather Johnson, John Henry Markham, Maureen Gay Raymond, Bonnie Gail Ernest, Colleen Marie Dick, Jane Marie Talbot, Michael Patrick Markham, and Duang Cannon. He is also survived by his Aunt Marianne Parker, Uncle John Dalton, and Uncle Stafford, who were always there for him through love and support. They were always in his heart. Family and friends were invited to the memorial service at 11 am on Tuesday, November 23, 2021, at Pierce Funeral Home located at 9609 Center Street, Manassas, Virginia 20110. A small reception followed.
