Could ‘Dads on Duty’ help keep the peace?

School officials discuss allowing volunteer program aimed at deterring school fights

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

After students returned to classrooms this August after more than a year of mostly virtual schooling, parents and school officials in Prince William County have raised the alarm over what appears to be a sharp uptick in fights in middle and high schools.

Despite that perception, however, school division data shows “no

spike,” so far, in school-based fights, Ron Crowe, Prince William County schools’ director of risk management and security services, told members of the school division’s Safe Schools Advisory Council on Monday, Dec. 6.

Still, parents and administrators are considering expanding opportunities for parents to become involved in school safety and are exploring programs like “Dads on Duty” in an

effort to deter aggressive behavior in schools.

Dads on Duty is a group of about 40 dads who made national headlines earlier this fall when they began showing up at their children’s high school in Shreveport, Louisiana, to help stop school fights. Since then, dozens of school districts across the country have looked to replicate their success.

State won’t mandate COVID-19 vaccines in public schools

By Kate Masters Virginia Mercury

A petition to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for school employees and all eligible students failed this week when the Virginia Department of Health opted to take no action on the request.

In a decision posted Monday, Dec. 6, the agency stated that it lacks the “clear statutory authority” to mandate the shots for employees.

Under state law, the department does have the ability to add new vaccine requirements for students but pointed out that federal health agencies have yet to add the COVID-19 vaccine to its childhood immunization schedule.

“While recommended, it’s not yet been formally added,” Dr. Laurie Forlano, VDH’s deputy commissioner for population health, said in a Dec. 3 phone call. “And that’s the big reason for our decision.”

Barring federal action, the failed petition likely marks an end to efforts to require the vaccine in Virginia schools. Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin has publicly opposed mandating the shots, even while calling on Virginians to get vaccinated. The same views are largely held by the state’s Republican lawmakers, who now hold a majority in the House of Delegates.

But amid ongoing national debates over vaccine mandates, the public petition was a largely unprecedented way for concerned parents to make

their case. Historically, the General Assembly has updated Virginia’s school vaccination requirements through legislation. A 2020 bill, though, added new immunizations to the schedule and included language allowing the state Board of Health to fast-track changes or additions.

State law also requires agencies to consider any public petition for regulatory action, according to Joseph Hilbert, VDH’s deputy commissioner for governmental and regulatory affairs. Combined with the agency’s recently expanded authority, the process opens up the possibility of amending school vaccine requirements through regulatory action rather than through legislation.

The petition, filed in September, specifically called on the state Department of Health to mandate vaccines for school employees and eligible students, who now include all children aged 5 and older. The petitioner, listed online as Kristen Calleja, also asked the state to allow only medical exemptions to the regulation.

“My daughter and all other students should have a right to be able to attend school without being unnecessarily put at risk by other students and teachers who refuse to be vaccinated,” Calleja wrote, adding that “the irrational minority should not be dictating the public health policy for Virginia or the schools.”

The petition broke records for

VDH’s typically sleepy regulatory process, accumulating 11,718 unique comments online. The vast majority — nearly 95%, according to the agency — were against a potential mandate, with more than 6,000 Virginians urging the department to keep school vaccines voluntary. But more than 600 residents supported requiring the shots for both students and school employees.

The department lacks the authority to remove religious exemptions to required school immunizations, it pointed out in its decision. While pediatric cases of COVID-19 have been a growing concern since the fall, when the rise of the delta variant led to a sharp spike in cases, the success of school-based mandates have been mixed. The city of Richmond recently backtracked on a decision to take disciplinary action against school employees who refused the vaccine, concerned that it could exacerbate vacancies across the division.

Currently, COVID-19 and the flu are the only diseases with vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but not required for school attendance in Virginia. Forlano said the flu vaccine largely isn’t required for logistical reasons, including the fact that the formulation changes every year and often isn’t released until after the start of the school year.

“For something like measles, you get the series when you’re a small child and that’s that,” she said. “It’s not an ongoing thing, which can become pretty administratively and financially complicated for school districts.”

While the same isn’t currently true for the COVID-19 vaccine, there’s potential that the same logistical hurdles could emerge. Several vaccine manufacturers have introduced plans for yearly boosters, even though it’s not clear whether they’ll be necessary (even with some degree of waning immunity against individual infection, data suggests the shots remain highly effective against hospitalization and death.)

“It’s hard to say,” Forlano said.

“There could likely be some similarities between the two vaccines, but no one knows for sure.”

Wheeler: Data center plan could reduce residents’ tax burden

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Loudoun County for comparison, where 25 million square feet of data centers contributed $586 million in local taxes in 2021.

Currently, about a quarter of Loudoun County’s general fund revenue – money collected only from local taxes – comes from taxes on data centers, “enough to cover all operating expenditures for Loudoun County government,” according to Loudoun County’s Economic Department. By comparison, Prince William County received about 7% of its $1.125 billion in local general fund revenues from data center taxes, according to the county’s fiscal year 2022 budget.

Loudoun County’s business personal property tax rate on computer equipment is $4.20 per $100 in assessed value, while Prince William County’s rate is $1.50.

Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler said in a recent interview she would “consider” voting to allow data centers to be built on 2,133 acres in the county’s rural crescent as a way to boost commercial tax revenue and reduce the residential tax rate.

The proposal, known as the “PW Digital Gateway,” asks county supervisors to replan a rural residential and agricultural area bordering Manassas National Battlefield Park to allow for the construction of up to 27.6 million square feet of data centers. The landowners have filed an application for a comprehensive plan amendment to accomplish that goal, although data centers would still need rezonings to build in the area.

‘Single greatest threat to the park’ in decades

BATTLEFIELD, from page 1

comprehensive plan amendment to accomplish that goal, although data centers would still need rezonings to build in the area.

Manassas National Battlefield Park Superintendent Brandon Bies wrote letters to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and the county planning office on Dec. 3, outlining the park’s “strong” opposition to the proposal over its potential historical, environmental and viewshed impacts. Bies wrote that he has “grave concerns” about the “potential irreparable harm” the development would cause to the park.

“Manassas National Battlefield Park strongly opposes this CPA because it is certain to have a substantial negative impact on historic resources both within and outside of the park that are significant to the battle,” Bies wrote. “Changing the planned land use of these areas would inhibit the mission of the Park to preserve and honor the sacrifices of the 4,000 Americans who died at Manassas.”

Manassas National Battlefield Park is the site of two American Civil War battles – the First Battle of Bull Run and the Second Battle of Bull Run – that took place in 1861 and 1862. The park encompasses 5,071 acres and is visited by over 600,000 people every year.

Bies compared the PW Digital Gateway to proposals pitched in the

1980s and 1990s: a 550-acre shopping mall proposal in 1988 known as the “William Center” and the Walt Disney Company’s plan to construct a “Disney’s America” theme park about three miles west of the park.

Both proposals garnered national media attention – and widespread condemnation from county residents – before they were voted down by county supervisors.

“In both of these cases, the board of county supervisors was attracted by the lure of tax revenue promised by these developments. The same can certainly be said about the current proposal for a 2,133-acre data center corridor along Pageland Lane.

But just as was the case in 1988 and 1993, this proposal is extremely concerning to the National Park Service,” Bies said.

Some supervisors have pointed to the economic investment new data centers could bring to the county.

In the last decade, data centers have become a significant driver of local commercial tax revenue.

At-large board Chair Ann Wheeler (D) and Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, have said the PW Digital Gateway could significantly boost the county’s budget and potentially allow the board to reduce residential tax rates. The developers behind the plan say the PW Digital Gateway will generate an estimated $700 million per year in real estate taxes.

Bies said he is most concerned

about the 570 acres of in the proposal that lies closest to the park and between Little Bull Run and the park’s western boundary. Bies said that land, although not currently within the park’s boundary, is “significant to the Second Battle of Manassas,” and includes “hallowed ground” where soldiers on both sides fought and died.

Bies said the National Park Service is requesting the board of county supervisors consider removing those 570 acres from consideration for data centers.

Bies: Transmission lines don’t ‘destroy the historic and scenic character’ of the area

Bies also wrote that he believes the CPA application for the PW Digital Gateway contains “numerous inaccuracies, omissions and mischaracterizations.” Among them, he said, are assertions made by the applicant that the area surrounding the park has lost its agricultural character.

The applicants for the PW Digital Gateway are homeowners who live on Pageland Lane and want to sell their homes for data centers.

They contend that Pageland Lane is “no longer rural” because of a noticeable increase in commuter traffic on the road in recent years, encroaching development and a massive Dominion Energy transmission line built in 2008 that traverses the corridor and Manassas

National Battlefield Park.

“The applicant states that the battlefield has been ‘marred’ by the presence of this transmission line.

While the towers and lines certainly have a visual impact, the views from the park still maintain an entirely rural and agricultural feeling, to include distant but distinct views of the Bull Run Mountains,” Bies said.

“The mere presence of a power transmission line does not in itself destroy the entire historic and scenic character of an area,” Bies added.

Prince William County requested Manassas National Battlefield Park’s input about the PW Digital Gateway because of its proximity to the park.

All county agencies must submit their comments on the proposal by Dec. 10.

Bies is leaving his post as park superintendent on Saturday, Dec. 11, to take a job with the National Park Service at Acadia National Park in Maine.

So far, more than 80 of the Pageland Lane corridor’s residents have signed onto the PW Digital Gateway CPA application asking the county to replan their homes for data center uses. The applicants range from families who have lived and farmed along Pageland Lane for generations to newer residents who live in upscale homes on smaller lots.

CHRISTMAS PARADE

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | December 9, 2021

Greater Manassas Christmas Parade Hundreds turned out to Old Town Manassas Saturday, Dec. 4, for the 75th Annual Greater Manassas Christmas Parade: “Right Down Santa Claus Lane.”

The parade featured 96 entrants, including high school marching bands and cheerleaders, local businesses, churches and community organizations.

The event marked the 75th year that Manassas has hosted a holiday parade.

The first known parade occurred in 1947 and for the next 50 years was sponsored and produced by the PWC Chamber of Commerce. For the past 27 years, the parade has been an all-volunteer effort organized by the Greater

Manassas Christmas Committee, according to the parade program.

This year, the committee named Sharita Rouse and Joe Nelson the parade’s woman and man of the year.

Rouse, owner of Tummy YumYum Gourmet Apples, was chosen “Woman of the Year” by the parade committee because of her goal to “serve those who are less fortunate and be a shining example of God’s love to all,” according to the parade program.

Nelson has been an “active and valued member of the Greater Manassas Christmas Parade Committee for 35 years,” according to the parade program.

Could ‘Dads on Duty’ help keep the peace?

Schools call ‘Code Orange’ to limit snow days

FIGHTS, from page 1

As the season for wintry weather approaches, Superintendent LaTanya McDade has announced a new school status that could significantly reduce the number of school days lost to inclement weather: “Code Orange.”

On Code Orange days, schools will be closed to all students and teachers, just like on Code Red days. The difference is that on Code Orange days, students will be expected to do schoolwork remotely – or “asynchronously,” meaning without help from a teacher – when bad weather prevents schools from operating in person.

In a Friday, Dec. 3 letter to parents, McDade cited the impact of the pandemic on student learning and the need to “maximize the time available to provide instruction for our students.”

Since closed in March 2020 because of the pandemic, the school division supplied all students with laptops or electronic tablets and adopted an e-learning platform to allow students to access their schoolwork via the internet.

The new policy won’t mean a total end to Code Red days, however. Code Red – meaning a halt to all school instruction and activities – will be called on days when the school division cannot ensure remote learning access, such as when inclement weather leads to the possibility of power outages, McDade said.

Code Orange days will also likely be called when bad weather requires a late opening, most commonly a two-hour delay, because of the ongoing bus driver shortage, McDade said.

The safe schools advisory council, a 21-member committee consisting of two school board members, eight school board-appointed parents, school officials and law enforcement, met Dec. 6 at the Edward L. Kelly Leadership Center to discuss the issue.

The council meets once a month to facilitate communication between parents and schools on school safety issues.

School board member Justin Wilk (Potomac), who serves on the council, said he has received inquiries from parents who are concerned about an apparent increase in school fights and incidents of vandalism who want to participate in school safety initiatives like Dads on Duty.

“The communication and feedback that I’m receiving from parents, there’s a belief that if there are more parents in the hallways that it could help reduce fights or bullying,” Wilk said. “I think more so than ever, I’ve seen parents clamoring to be involved in our schools in any type of capacity.”

Wilk and other safety council members noted that much work needs to be done before the school division could implement any parent-volunteer safety program at middle and high schools.

Several said the schools need to ensure there are standards of procedure, ample training for volunteers and coordination between principals and parents.

Jarcelynn Hart, associate superintendent for western elementary schools, who serves as the council’s facilitator, said any new program that is created by the school division “would be very carefully planned.”

“We want the right people in our schools. We want to be able to support and provide training.

So, this is not something that will happen in the next year, next month or next week,” Hart said.

Prince William County schools began allowing volunteers back into school buildings last week for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered schools in March 2020.

Crowe said parents would serve primarily in an advisory role and would not intervene in school fights should they occur.

“Their job is to advise and report. Their job is not to intervene in school-based situations,” Crowe said.

Crowe shared recent data about fights in county middle and high schools. Between August and November of 2021, there were 455 fights in middle and high schools, compared with a total of 1,509 school fights during the 2018-2019 school year, and 1,234 fights in the 2019-2020 school year, which ended several months early due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Are there more fights or even substantially more fights? No, there’s not. There’s actually less,” Crowe said.

School division Superintendent LaTanya McDade, who was at the meeting, said more detailed data is needed to determine if there is an increase in school fights, however. Quarterly data, she said, would provide a better comparison.

“As an administrator having been in a school, typically in a school you have uptick as you get closer to summer vacation. Usually at the very beginning of the school year, that’s when you’re going to get the most peace you’re ever going to see,” McDade said.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY

Do you want an Industrial Corridor along Pageland Lane and next to Manassas Battlefield Park?

And do you want to pay for it?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Along the west side of the Manassas National Battlefield Park and north into Catharpin, Pageland Lane winds its way through picturesque rolling farmland with horse farms, fields, and open space. But the Prince William County Board of Supervisors is considering a proposal that would drastically change this beautiful area forever.

No Peace on Pageland My family has farmed Pageland Farm for several generations. We have never had peace on Pageland Lane. We are always under attack.

For decades, we’ve fought one battle after another to protect the parks and rural Pageland Lane. Unless you’ve lived here, you have no idea what we’ve gone through.

We can’t do it anymore; it’s time to call it quits and face reality.

Traffic, huge transmission lines, neighboring developments and continually pending threats have become too much. Ask the senior citizen farmers and most residents on Pageland. They will tell you the same thing: Our 4.5 miles are no longer rural or safe because we’re the connector to Loudoun County.

Our biggest threats have come from the Manassas National Battlefield Park. They allowed the transmission lines along the edge of the park and subsequently along our

properties. Then, they supported bringing the Bi-County Parkway along the same route, which would have eliminated our access to the road and effectively forced us into conservation easements.

Now, we have an opportunity to become a data center overlay district and the greatest economic development in our history. For 23 years we have been denied the property rights that most people have.

At one end is Loudoun’s massive residential developments and an expanding quarry and at the other end a huge data center project currently under construction. Pageland is just not rural anymore and no one can wish or pretend it is. We are a united community, and we will not sit idly by in the midst of these mounting pressures.

State’s ban on single-use plastic needs a closer look Earlier this year, the Gov. Ralph Northam announced Executive Order 77, which mandates all state agencies, including colleges and universities, ban the buying and use of certain plastic products by October 2021, and completely ban them by 2025.

Now, while the stated goal of EO77 to reduce plastic pollution is admirable, it falls short in many areas and creates a one-size-fits-all ban on plastics.

One, it fails to recognize that using alternatives to plastics are often more costly, and can result in an increase of greenhouse gas emissions depending on how and where the alternatives are sourced.

Two, the mandate does not take increased usage of landfills, which could occur if plastic alternatives are not recyclable, or taxpayer costs into account.

Three, regarding our state colleges and universities, there are estimates that this mandate could

increase the per student cost to $1,000.

Instead of looking for bans that are ineffective, and more importantly costly to taxpayers, we should be looking for innovative solutions to end plastic waste. We need to explore areas like advanced recycling, which has shown a lot of promise in creating a more sustainable future.

Advanced recycling allows for more types of plastic to be recaptured and remanufactured into new products, creating a more sustainable “circular economy”.

Executive orders like this increase the cost of doing business and day-to-day life. Our community needs state government to be a wise steward of taxpayer dollars and produce and adopt sensible policy solutions and not knee-jerk ones, such as mandates and bans.

ROSS SNARE chair, Prince William Chamber of Commerce

The proposal is to replan all of Pageland Lane’s 2,133 acres—within the county’s designated rural area—from agricultural to something called “Tech/Flex.” And although they’re calling the proposed area a “Digital Gateway” and talking a lot about data centers, the Tech/Flex land use designation would allow for a lot more.

We could see not only data centers, but also distribution warehouses, advanced manufacturing, light industrial, and more. The traffic that comes with all of those will run through the rural crescent and right next to the historic landscapes of Manassas Battlefield Park. Tech/Flex would also mean the end of this agricultural corridor.

What does this “Digital Gateway” application call for?

• Changing the land use designation of Pageland Lane from Agricultural to Tech/Flex.

• Adjusting the county’s Rural Area Boundary to include this 2,133 acres in the Development Area.

• Widening Pageland Lane from a rural two-lane road to four lanes to accommodate additional traffic.

• Resurrecting and reinserting the previously-rejected Bi-County Parkway (BCP) into the Prince William County Comprehensive Plan, which appears in the maps and justification document submitted by the applicants.

• Extending water and sewer from Gainesville Crossing data center campus and Heritage Hunt to the area.

• Likely, new substations along this corridor. The applicant’s consultant, Data Energy Consulting, says that data centers would probably first develop near substations with existing capacity, but that large land tracts might require new, dedicated substations.

What Will It Cost Us?

• Tax-payer dollars.

These large infrastructure projects cannot be done incrementally by developers, parcel by parcel, as the applicants say they would be. And once this Digital Gateway is in the comprehensive plan, there would be significant pressure and justification for public investment.

• Major tourism and recreational assets.

The serene, beautiful and historic landscapes that attract thousands of tourists and residents to visit and recreate at Manassas Battlefield National Park would be degraded.

• Clean drinking water and groundwater recharge. This area is interlaced by streams and wetlands that feed into the Occoquan Reservoir, which provides water for nearly 2 million people who live and work in Northern Virginia.

• Prince William’s agricultural economy.

This application would remove 2,133 acres from the Rural Area and increase pressure on nearby rural lands to develop.

• Wildlife corridor and habitat loss. Right now, this area is mostly agricultural and forested areas that support many types of plants and animals, including at least 11 endangered or threatened animal species.

Friends and Neighbors in Prince William County:

Changing this agricultural area into an industrial corridor would cost Prince William taxpayers a fortune. It would forever harm many important natural and recreational resources of the county. And it would give rise to more and more development that will steadily erode the rural areas of Prince William County.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!

1. Contact your State and U.S. Representative and urge them to protect the Manassas National Battlefield Park, which is directly threatened by this proposal.

Senator Tim Kaine, 202-224-4024 Senator Mark Warner, 202-224-2023 Representative Jennifer Wexton, 202-225-5135

2. Email or call Prince William County Supervisors and tell them Pageland Lane should not be turned into an industrial corridor.

Time to lace up the skates!

Dumfries offers free ice skating at Garrison Park

Ice skating around Prince William

By Aileen M. Streng

Dumfries Garrison Park

Where: 17749 Main St., Dumfries When: Saturdays and Sundays, Dec. 11, 12, 18 and 19 Details: Ice skating is available and free from noon to 4 p.m. on all four days. Ice skates are free.

Contributing Writer

Dumfries is adding something new to its holiday celebrations – a free ice-skating rink.

As part of the festivities around the town’s 47th Annual Christmas parade, the town decided to offer ice skating at Garrison Park, behind the town hall, said Dumfries Town Manager Keith Rogers, Jr. The parade begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11. It steps off from the Triangle Shopping Plaza and ends at the Dumfries Town Hall.

The ice-skating rink also opens for the first time on Saturday, Dec. 11, from noon to 4 p.m. It will also be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 12 and again the following weekend, Dec. 18 to 19, during the same hours.

Skates are available and free.

The town contracted with a private company to build the rink and provide the skates.

“We just wanted to keep the activities going,” Rogers said. “With kids out of school, we thought it would be a nice outdoor activity since the pandemic has limited indoor activities.”

Rogers did not say how much the rink will cost the town. The town plans to offset the expense with money collected from parade sponsors, he said.

“I want to encourage everyone to come out to the Christmas parade.

Skaters enjoy the rink at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center in Woodbridge.

We are thinking this will be one of our best parades,” he said.

The parade will include 50 entries.

“It looks like we have everything a parade should have,” he said, to include bands, floats, dance teams, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus and balloons.

Although, the balloons “will not be as big as those in the Macy’s parade,” Rogers said.

“We are also hoping people will take advantage of the skating rink,”

he added. “This is open to everyone.”

Rogers said the town wants to bring more activities to Garrison Park. The interest in the skating rink will help it gauge the town residents’ interest in that. In the future, the town may host movies in the park during the summer months.

“It will also let us test out our operations as we grow our activity base,” he said.

Toys, gifts still needed for hundreds of local needy kids

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Volunteer Prince William is hoping to make the holidays a bit brighter for 3,200 local children, but they need a little more help from local elves.

The nonprofit helps Santa Claus every year by collecting toys and gifts for the neediest children enrolled at Title 1 elementary schools in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park.

Each school is asked to identify 25 to 35 families who could most use a helping hand around the holidays, according to Bridget Mullins, executive director of Volunteer Prince William.

The nonprofit then strives to provide each child in the family -- from infant to age 12 -- at least two gifts valued at a total of about $75.

For Volunteer Prince William, which has only four paid staff members, providing holiday gifts for so many kids is a huge task that’s been made even more difficult by the ongoing pandemic.

Last year, the organization’s efforts were challenged not only by the pandemic but also by a mid-December snowstorm that closed schools during the last days before winter break. That made delivering the gifts especially difficult. Gifts are usually distributed by the schools’ counselors, but when that couldn’t happen because of the school closures, volunteers came to the rescue, driving all over the county to make deliveries, the last of which weren’t finished until Christmas Eve, Mullins said.

This year, the nonprofit decided it had to move up the delivery dates to give schools more time to distribute the gifts. But that has meant less time for local elves to “adopt” needy children for the holidays and for those donors to shop for gifts, Mullins said.

As of this week, Volunteer Prince William had already gathered gifts for about 960 kids from about 350 families in Manassas and Manassas

Most needed toys Volunteer Prince William’s “Untrim-a-Tree” program has at least 400 needy children who still need to be adopted for the holidays. The nonprofit is also accepting donations of money and general toys for those whose specific needs are not fulfilled. The most-needed toys include: • Dolls • Barbies • Legos CALENDAR, from page 10 who were buried at the Alexandria Cemetery from 1864 to 1869. Masks required. For more information or to register, call 703-792-8740. Montclair Library, 5049 Waterway Drive, Dumfries. Free.

Park. About 230 of those children were not “adopted” by local volunteers, however, meaning Volunteer Prince William had to step in and provide those children with gifts, Mullins said.

Next, they’ll turn their attention to the remaining 2,300 kids from Prince William County schools, and help is needed, Mullins said.

It’s not too late to adopt a child one or more of those children for the holidays. Those willing to do so should email Mullins at utat@ volunteerprincewilliam.org or visit the Volunteer Prince William website.

Those who want to help can also donate at the website or can shop for general toys (see box for the most-wanted items), which will be spread among children who are not individually adopted, Mullins said.

• Cars & Trucks • Remote control cars • crafts kits • Pokemon cards • Action figures -- all types Items can be dropped off at Volunteer Prince William’s Manassas office, located at 9246 Center St. Manassas by Wednesday, Dec. 15. To “adopt” a child, email Bridget Mullins at utat@ volunteerprincewilliam.org. To donate money, visit their website at www.volunteerprincewilliam.org.

Senior gift baskets

Volunteer Prince William is also collecting items for senior gift baskets, which are distributed to about 300 local, homebound seniors who receive Meals on Wheels. Those gifts are typically gift baskets or bags that contain items like warm slippers, hard candies and puzzle books that most seniors enjoy.

The pandemic continues to challenge Volunteer Prince William’s gift-collecting efforts because it has meant fewer people are willing to go out and shop for gifts at the same time that job losses have created even more need among local families.

The good news, Mullins said, is that the organization has received more cash donations over the past few years. This year, about $15,775 has been donated for the gift-giving effort, she said.

But more help is always needed and welcome.

People “could still adopt kids. They can still donate, and if they want to buy some general things, that’s good also,” she said. “Fingers crossed, if all goes well, we’re going to be able to get it all covered.”

WHO’LL RULE THE POOL? A preview of some Cedar Run District swim teams

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

BATTLEFIELD BOBCATS

Led by state champion freestyler and University of Tennessee commit Camille Spink, the Bobcats return most of the girls team that placed second at the Class 6 state meet a year ago.

Jamie Cornwell, Sophia Heilen, Tess Peny, Lexi Sawwa, and Emma Hannam provide 11th-year head coach Jay Thorpe with additional leadership, augmented by “an outstanding group of freshmen.”

Battlefield’s boys are led by Ryan Strotheide, Matthew Pianoto, Leyton Arnold, and Alex Canfield.

Thorpe’s goals for both teams include winning the regional meet and securing a top-5 placement at states.

Junior Emma Hannam is one of many talented swimmers on coach Jay Thorpe’s powerful Battlefield program.

“Additionally, we want to have at least one swimming All-American and three academic All-Americans,” he said.

OSBOURN EAGLES There are more than twice the number of Osbourn swimmers this year as last year. That has co-head coaches Casey Simpson and Jeane Ryder excited.

“We have so many new underclassmen swimmers who give us many options to be competitive,” Simpson said. “We’re thrilled to continue to grow the sport at Osbourn!”

The Eagles are led on the girls side by sophomore Lyla Browne and freshmen Nika Picardo and Darcy Lucas. The boys are counting on junior Patrick Epifanio.

Gainesville will debut with 13 girls on its swim team and nine boys.

GAINESVILLE CARDINALS You’ve got to start somewhere.

The new Gainesville High School has no seniors, just a few juniors, and a swim team roster barely a third its ideal size.

The Cardinals have nine boys and 13 girls for their inaugural swim season. Co-head coaches Matthew Mast and Bradley Morrison want to attract 30 swimmers to each team.

“This season is mainly laying the groundwork for a quality program, a family feeling amongst the swimmers on the team,” Mast said.

Sophomore backstroker Christian Carroll captains the boys team, joined by junior medley specialist Charlie Cappellini and freshmen Nolan McCurdy and Joshua Hirsch, “an up-and-coming butterflier.”

The girls are led by sophomores Elyse Eyre, a distance freestyler, and Kaylee Jaimes Rodriguez. Freshmen Grace Seidl, a backstroker, and Lexi Brazier, from the cross-country team, show promise.

Osbourn swimmers pictured include from left freshman Darcy Lucas, junior Patrick Epifanio and freshman Nika Picardo.

UNITY REED LIONS There’s a lot of newness for the Lions this season.

In addition to a new head coach in Elizabeth Vogel and a new assistant coach in Robbie Seymour, new boundary lines shaved off some of the swim team’s roster.

Still, “our team is very competitive and has a great sense of unity,” Seymour said. “Success will be measured by the individual swimmer’s goals, and how they accomplish them.”

The Lions boast multiple returners, including Evan Dick and Kyle Romano on the boys side, and Emma Knick, Chris-Ann Whyte, and Tica Jones on the girls team.

Osbourn Park’s Peter Davis is part of first-year coach Lauren Kranz’s strong squad.

OSBOURN PARK YELLOW JACKETS First-year head coach Lauren Kranz inherits deep, experienced rosters on both the boys and girls teams. She’s impressed by the culture she’s now part of.

“Everyone puts in effort to get to know the names of their teammates.

There’s always someone cheering behind every lane,” Kranz said. “The support and respect the team has for each other is unmatched in my eyes.”

The girls are led by freestyler

Sydney Craft, backstroker Katie Luetkenhaus, and breaststroker Melia Truong. Butterflier Caroline Luetkenhaus and sprinter Rosangela Le are talented freshmen.

The boys are led by medley swimmer Connor Adrian, breaststroker Jake Waldman, and sprinter Mason Simpson, all seniors. Junior medley swimmer Peter Davis and sprinter Jake Gaston contribute to OP’s depth.

NOTE: Patriot did not respond to interview requests. The Prince William Times did not include Champe or Freedom-South Riding in Loudoun County.

Brentsville’s super football season ‘will be hard to top’

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

Loren White’s first season as Brentsville District High football coach was one for the record books.

Brentsville played 14 games, making a deep playoff run into the Class 3 state semifinals before falling to Phoebus 49-0.

“I know each season going forward will create its own memories, however, this one will be hard to top,” said White, who helped Brentsville to an 11-3 record and the first state semifinal appearance in school history.

Thirteen Tigers were all-region performers, led by junior lineman Tyler Nix, who was the region’s Offensive Player of the Year. Seniors Nick Griffin, Victor Vasquez, Bryce Jackson, Hunter Lambert, Jackson Schnetzler, Ryan Stevens, Luca Orlando and Trae Owens were all-region picks.

“This is a special group of young men,” White said of his 16-man senior class. “The leadership that I witnessed coming from these seniors was immeasurable.”

One of those seniors was Ryland Harris, a member of Brentsville’s football, baseball, and wrestling teams, who died in September of brain

cancer. That loss tested the team.

“Watching each player navigate the emotions and find it within themselves to fight every single day to be the best they can be, in honor of Ryland and his memory, that was special,” White said.

The Tigers’ Region B championship victory over Meridian will remain in the players’ minds forever. On the final play, quarterback Caleb Alexander passed to Bryce Jackson, who weaved 50 yards for a game-ending touchdown and a 13-7 road win.

“Watching every player execute their role to get Bryce across that line was everything a coach could hope for,” White said.

The Tigers went 8-2 in the regular season, averaging 35.1 points while the defense tossed three shutouts, then earned three more wins in the playoffs. A loss to Phoebus kept Brentsville from playing for its first state championship.

“I am grateful to the team, families, BDHS staff, and the community for welcoming me and helping me navigate my first season,” White said.

“I’m very happy with the success on and off the field this season.”

White, who was previously Gainesville High’s defensive coordinator and a former Brentsville assistant coach, was the region Coach of the Year.

The Dad who all the kids in the neighborhood wanted to come out to play a whiffle ball game with. The one who took his horse crazy daughter on trail rides across the US. The granddaddy every little kid wants to play in the pool or fish in the lake with. A fine example of a human being - kind, hilarious, intelligent, and gentle. He will be missed dearly.

Sheldon is survived by his wife of 65 years, Lillian Strickland; two children, Stacy Strickland Lensis of Manassas, VA and Robert Strickland of Warrenton, VA; and six grandchildren, Colin, Morgan, Daniel, Allie, Josie and Owen.

Arie attended public school in Charlotte County, VA. After graduation from the Public School System, she attended VA Union University in Richmond, VA. Upon completion of college in the 1950’s she accepted a teaching position at the then segregated Blackwelltown School in Fauquier County, VA. She resided with the Hopkins family in Midland, VA during her teaching career and became an “adopted” family member over the years. She moved to Remington, VA in early 2000.

Mildred Gulick Riddell 1924 - 2021 Mildred Gulick Riddell died on December 4th at the age of 97. She was born in 1924 at the Columbia Hospital for Women in Washington D.C. and lived most of her life at Redwood in Casanova, the farm bought for her mother as a wedding gift by her grandfather, James Lewis Strother of Carrington in Delaplane. Her father, William Walter Gulick, served on the Fauquier School Board during the 1940s. Her mother, Mildred Childs Strother, graduated from the Powhatan College for Young Women in Charles Town WV during the early 1900s. Mildred was the youngest daughter of six children. She was predeceased by her husband, Colonel Robert Riddell, in 2007.

After graduating from the Warrenton High School in 1941 and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she played varsity basketball, Mildred became a physical education teacher, first teaching horseback riding at a girls school in Vicksburg, Mississippi and then expanding into other areas of phys ed at the Quantico Marine Corp Base High School, and various public and private schools in Fauquier County.

After the death of her parents in the 1950s, Mildred inherited Redwood and began her lifelong love affair taking care of its farmland, woodlands, streams and the many native and domesticated animals that lived there.

A student of local and family histories, Mildred documented the history of Casanova and the early land grants that define the area’s features and farms to this day. Mildred served on the Advisory Board to the Warrenton Antiquarian Society and assisted in the documentation and preservation of its 19th and 20th century farmstead, Weston, located in Casanova.

During the 70s, Mildred assisted her dear friend Judy Gilman in leading a southern Fauquier Pony Club whose goal was to “promote sportsmanship, stewardship and leadership through horsemandship.”

Mildred subscribed to this same goal well into her 60s as she served as Master of Fox Hounds with the Old Dominion Hunt from 1981 to 1992, and into her 80s and 90s as she participated in numerous equestrian competitions by rooting for her Cleveland Bay/Thoroughbred eventing horse, Jamieson, and attending and supporting local steeplechase races and The Warrenton Horse Show.

Becoming a prudent environmentalist in the 1970s, Mildred was a proponent of preserving stream buffers to decrease farm runoff into the Chesapeake Bay and served on the Citizens for Fauquier County’s Board of Directors and the Piedmont Environmental Council. Her farm’s almost 200 acres is protected as a conservation district by the Virginia Outdoor Foundation Mildred was a life-long member of Grace Church Casanova where she served as member of the vestry for many years. She is survived by numerous nephews, nieces and cousins including John B. Ashton of Ketchum, Idaho; Edwin F. Gulick of Catlett; William W. Gulick of Warrenton; Mary S. Ashton of Casanova; Robin C. Gulick of Warrenton; Jonathan F. Gulick of Midland; Katherine L. Strother and Mary S. Mulligan of Texas Farm, The Plains; and Louie S. Dobson of Middleburg.

Memorable contributions can be made to Grace Church, Casanova; The Piedmont Foundation; and the Warrenton Antiquarian Society on behalf of Weston.

Her funeral will be held at Grace Church Casanova on Saturday, December 11 at 11 a.m.

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | December 9, 2021

OBITUARIES Henry Patteson Nash Henry Patteson Nash, 91, of Fredericksburg, Virginia, passed away on November 19, 2021, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born to parents Martha (nee Mohler) and Samuel A. Nash on July 12, 1930 in Richmond, Virginia and graduated from Central High School in Washington, D.C. in 1948.

During his lifetime, Henry married three times: to Carolyn (nee Tolar), 1948; to Frances (nee Murphy) 1963; to Betty (nee Spicer) 2001, all now deceased. In 1951, Henry was hired by All American Airways as a flight agent, serving as a cabin attendant and very soon after, began taking flying lessons. In 1954, he was hired as a copilot in Washington, D.C. and became a captain in 1957.

During his 40-year aviation career, Henry instructed new copilots and captains, was a designated check airman and retired as Chief Pilot (DCA) in 1990. All American Airways became Allegheny Airlines, then USAir, before he retired from the company he served with pride, during which the industry changed from piston airliners to the modern age of jet travel.

Known for his generosity and kind spirit, Henry was a mentor to many aviators and nothing pleased him more than spending time with his family, many friends and beloved pets.

Henry is survived by his six children: Lynda Silverstrand, Janice Litt, Nancy Eubank, Marta Burklin, Matthew Nash and Melissa Nash-Long and 13 of 14 grand children and seven great grandchildren.

Memorial services to be announced.

Robert Bruce Aylor Robert Bruce Aylor, age 82, of Haymarket, Virginia, passed peacefully on December 4, 2021, after a brief stay at INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, VA. Bruce served the William A. Hazel company for 31 years, retiring as President of the company in 2004. Bruce worked on many projects in the Northern Virginia area, with the philosophy that “If you treat people fairly, and treat your customers fairly, you’ll be successful”. Bruce also took special pride in William A. Hazel’s contributions to the Joe Gibbs Youth For Tomorrow youth home, Habitat for Humanity, and Flint Hill School.

Bruce was fortunate to be able to spend the last days of life with family and friends, celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday at his farm, Jump Mountain Farm, located in Rockbridge Baths, Virginia. This desire was important to Bruce, and the family is thankful for this blessing.

Son of the late Ruth May Berry and Russell Bryant Aylor, Bruce was born on December 12, 1938, in Madison County, Virginia. At age 18, Bruce began his career with the Department of Highways as a surveyor and chief inspector, followed by employment with the Sam Finely Asphalt Company as an estimator and branch manager.

In 1959, he married Joyce Kelly Crane, the mother of his children, Steven B. Aylor, Angela A. Galyean, and Mark A. Aylor. Working full-time and raising five children, including his brother-in-law, Stuart A. Crane, Jr. (Chipper), and sister-in-law, the late Sue Crane Pennington, Bruce continued his education by attending surveying and engineering courses at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI) and numerous night courses at a local community college.

In 1983, Bruce married the late Joan Lovejoy Seeley, expanding his family to include two more daughters, Lisa Seeley and April Seeley Dodson.

In retirement, Bruce enjoyed RV-ing, traveling, hunting and fishing, and spending time outdoors with his family, friends, and his five pet donkeys at his farm. In 2010, Bruce was fortunate to marry Rebecca H. Irvin, enjoying 11 years together.

Preceded in death by his parents, and one brother, Floyd I. Aylor of Oregon.

Bruce is survived by his wife, Rebecca, and her children, Monte, and his wife Pat, Keith and his wife Jenny, and their children; his first wife, Joyce Aylor Waugh, and their three children, Steve Aylor and his wife, Cara, Angela Galyean and her husband, Rob, and Mark Aylor and his wife, Pam, and their children; the children of his late wife, Joan Lovejoy Seeley Aylor, Lisa Seeley, April Seeley Dodson and her husband Darren, and their children. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, J.R. and Barbara Aylor of Warrenton, VA, and their children; sister and brother-in-law, Mary Ann and Dan Jenkins of Reva, VA; eleven grandchildren, Parker Aylor, Hannah Aylor, Hilton Galyean and his wife, Sarah, Josh Galyean, Kelsey Aylor, Daisy and Josie Dodson, Sarah and Travis Irvin, Skylar and Seth Irvin, and nieces and nephews.

Bruce’s character set an example for loved ones, friends and family. He was kind, earnest, and dedicated. Other than his family, Bruce’s greatest love was for William A. Hazel, the Hazel family, and his dedicated Hazel men and women. He will be missed dearly.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 9, 2021, at Moser’s Funeral Home in Warrenton, Virginia.

The family will receive visitors from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Interment will be private at Little Georgetown Cemetery, Broad Run, Virginia.

Mitchel “Mitch” T. Coffey Mitchel “Mitch” T. Coffey, 83, passed away on November 29, 2021. Mitch was preceded in death by his son Gregory and is survived by his wife of 63 years, Doris McLean Coffey, for whom his undying love and devotion was a shining example to us all; daughter, Darlene (John); grandchildren, James (Angela) and Tiffany; and great-granddaughter, Virginia Louise.

As an only child from the rural mountains of North Carolina, Mitch married his childhood sweetheart and took a job with AT&T, where he worked his way up to make a career spanning more than three decades. They had two children, Darlene Michele and Gregory Scott, and moved to Virginia where Mitch commuted to work in the District of Columbia until his retirement in Warrenton, Virginia.

Mitch enjoyed “loafing” about the country with Doris in their RV, purchased for touring his own mother and mother-in-law around this great country. He was one of the founding members of the Association of Snowmobile Softies (A.S.S.). This group, spanning multiple generations and decades, shared a passion for snowmobiling, but more importantly a passion for mentorship and comradery that is incredibly rare. Both Darlene and Greg were avid water skiers, and the family enjoyed many summers out on Lake Anna and the lakes in Canada with family and friends.

A graveside service is scheduled for 11:00AM on December 18, 2021, at Little Georgetown Cemetery in Broad Run, Virginia, immediately followed by a Celebration of Life at the Inn at Vint Hill in Warrenton, Virginia, from 12:00-4:00PM. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Blue Ridge Hospice, the Fauquier Food Bank, or the Fauquier SPCA.

Johnson The White House Historical Association’s 2021 Official White House Christmas Ornament commemorates the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson. One side of the ornament features a painting of the 1967 Blue Room Christmas Tree. Mrs. Johnson requested that Robert H.
