Local police used Va.’s ‘red flag’ law 4 times in 2022 [his] possession or acquisition of a firearm[.]”

In each case, guns were taken from Local police officers petitioned the court for people experiencing mental health crises

Times Staff Writer

Virginia Oaks residents didn’t know what to think on Sept. 25, when their neighbor, Pete Donovan Womack, 29, roamed the community with a gun, firing into trees, stopping cars and pointing his weapon at people. Eventually, an off-duty federal police officer who lives in the Gainesville community called 911 and, while trying to disarm him, shot Womack in the upper body.

Four days later -- the same day Womack was discharged from the hospital -- Prince William County police filed a petition under Virginia’s “red flag” law for an emergency substantial risk order, asserting that Womack “pose[d] a substantial risk of personal injury to self or others in the near future by

four ESR orders, including Womack’s, in 2022.

All four were in response to people experiencing a severe mental health crisis. A neighbor called police reporting Womack’s erratic behavior, and family members called police for help in three more instances when their relatives were threatening them or threatening to take their own lives using guns. The calls resulted in the removal of five guns from dangerous situations in greater Prince William this past year, according to court records.

Virginia’s “red flag” law, which took effect in July 2020, prohibits a person from purchasing, possessing or transporting any firearm while a substantial risk order remains in effect. If the gun owner subject to the order possesses a concealed handgun permit, the permit must also be surrendered to court.

Use of Virginia’s ‘red flag law’ statewide

Virginia’s red flag law allows guns to be removed from those who pose an immediate danger to themselves or others. Use of emergency substantial risk orders rose 8% and substantial risk orders, 42% in 2022.

Emergency substantial risk orders (expire in 14 days) July to December 2020: 54 2021: 148 2022: 160

Substantial risk orders (expire in six months)

Big data centers mean big profits

The numbers behind the huge, windowless buildings that continued to claim more local real estate in 2022

Last June, a company named NTT Global Systems Data bought 102 wooded acres between Interstate 66 and John Marshall Highway in Gainesville. The property had been assessed at a little under $12 million, but NTT, a data center operator, paid $270.4 million, or $2.65 million per acre.

That might seem excessive, but such land buys are par for the course in Northern Virginia. Data centers are willing to pay top dollar for parcels close to the high-power

have the money.

How much money data centers make is a well-guarded secret.

But one industry-tracking website, Statista.com, projects worldwide revenue of $341 billion in 2022, with about a third generated in the United States. Among the big players is Amazon Web Services, a branch of Amazon.com, which has at least four data centers in Prince William County and at least five more under development.

AWS had worldwide sales of $67.2 billion in 2021, according to its SEC filings, and showed an operating profit of $18.5 billion.

One crude calculation based on dollars earned per square foot of building space indicates that a medium-sized AWS center could generate $100 million or more in profit annually.

Also remarkable is AWS’s sales growth. Its federal filings say sales were up 37% in 2021 over 2020.

Profits shot up 10 times between 2015 and 2021. And AWS profit margins were sizable – nearly 30% in 2021 as opposed to 5.2% for the whole company.

Local police used Va.’s ‘red flag’ law 4 times in 2022 RED FLAG, from page 1 The purpose of the law is to keep people safe from guns when there is a reason to believe they pose a threat to themselves or others. Guns can only be temporarily confiscated by police.

When police execute an ESR order, a court hearing must be held within 14 days. A gun owner can ask a judge to remove the order so they can get their firearms back. A judge then decides whether guns should be returned or held for up to six more months. Orders can be extended for additional six-month periods with no limit on extensions.

According to data from the Virginia State Police, use of the orders is rare but ticked up over the past two years.

But the law remains controversial.

Del. Marie E. March, R-7th, of Floyd, has filed House Bill 1394, calling for the complete repeal of Virginia’s red flag law, which the General Assembly will consider when it reconvenes in January 2023. The Democratic-controlled state Senate killed a similar bill March filed in 2022.

The Virginia Citizens Defense League, a gun rights organization, is again strongly supporting March’s bill. The group says Virginia’s red flag law should be repealed because the orders “don’t get any help for a person in crisis” but rather only confiscate their firearms. “This does nothing to prevent the person from committing suicide or harming others,” the group claims.

The group also asserts that ESR orders do not allow a person a chance to defend the accusation against them for two weeks, which it contends is a violation of the Second Amendment and akin to taking a weapon without due process. A lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of red flag laws was dismissed by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia in November 2020.

Virginia Oaks case

In Womack’s case, a magistrate issued an initial ESR order, which a Prince William circuit court judge extended on Oct. 13. Represented by counsel at the hearing, Womack agreed to be subject to an ESR order through Dec. 30, 2022.

According to court records, Prince William County police investigated Womack’s case and presented evidence about the events that transpired in the hours leading up to Womack being shot, hospitalized and criminally charged on Sept. 25.

That fall evening, Womack was walking around the neighborhood with his dog and a gun and at one point helped a neighbor hang Halloween decorations, witnesses said.

Shortly afterward, he flagged down a passing vehicle, yelled at the driver and pointed his handgun at the driver before walking away.

Other neighbors told police they saw Womack standing in the middle of the road with his dog, flagging

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | December 29, 2022

down vehicles and pointing his gun at the people inside them. Womack also approached a neighbor walking on the sidewalk, pointed his gun at him and told him to run. The neighbor told police that he “ran away in fear,” according to court records.

Womack then stopped the off-duty federal police officer and his wife as they drove on Clubhouse Drive.

Womack pointed his Glock handgun directly into their vehicle, looked at each of them and then waved them on, according to court records.

After the federal officer and his wife arrived home, the officer called 911 while watching Womack walk between parked cars with his gun at his side. The officer told police he could hear Womack saying something but couldn’t understand his words or whether he was speaking to someone, court records said.

At one point, the federal officer said he lost sight of Womack but then saw Womack’s dog walking alone.

The federal officer told police he took cover behind a Toyota 4 Runner parked on the street. When he caught sight of Womack again, he yelled to him to show his hands. Womack looked at the federal officer, smiled and put his hands up -- then quickly reached for the right side of his pants.

The officer then fired a single shot toward Womack with his department-issued weapon but missed, he told police, according to court papers and a police press release issued at the time.

The federal police officer again took cover while Womack continued walking toward him with his hands up. The officer said he repeatedly ordered Womack to get face down on the sidewalk. Womack got down on his knees with his hands up and continued to smile at the federal officer. When Womack reached down again, the officer fired another shot at Womack, striking his upper body, according to court papers and the police press release.

Prince William County police officers arrived shortly thereafter and provided immediate first aid to Womack until rescue personnel arrived and transported him to an area hospital, where his injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening, a police press release said.

Police located Womack’s gun in some nearby bushes and confiscated it, court papers said.

Womack’s parents told police that he had never been violent and that “his behavior and actions are not normal,” according to court records.

Womack’s mother told police that Womack takes depression medication and medication to help him sleep. After speaking to her son at the hospital, Womack’s mother told police that he would be seeking help for his mental health crisis and “violent actions,” according to court records.

After Womack’s four-day hospital stay, Womack’s mother said he would return to their residence upon his discharge.

At the time of the incident, the police took possession of Womack’s Glock handgun as part of the criminal investigation.

On Dec. 15, Womack pleaded guilty with deferred disposition to three charges of brandishing a firearm and

one charge of reckless handling of a firearm in connection with the incident, according to court records. After three years of complying with his probation conditions -- including not possessing firearms -- the brandishing charges will be dismissed.

Contacted by the Prince William Times, Womack’s attorney, James Hundley, declined to comment on the record.

Other guns taken after family members called police

Manassas police obtained an ESR order in May 2022 to confiscate a firearm from a 33-year-old Manassas woman after her brother and sister said she had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, had not taken her medication and had physically assaulted both of them in the home they shared, according to court records.

The woman’s siblings told police that after she physically attacked her brother, she sprayed her sister with pepper spray and then brandished a shotgun, causing them to fear for their lives. Crisis negotiators and mental health professionals responded to the scene along with law enforcement officers, according to court records.

Manassas police petitioned the court for an ESR order, stating that due to the decline in her mental health, “it’s clear that [she] poses a high risk of causing injuries to herself or others in the immediate future,” court records said.

After the ESR order was granted, a long gun “was turned over [to police] right away. There was no confrontation or anything,” Manassas City police spokesman Captain Brian Larkin said. However, he noted that the weapon police confiscated turned out to be a 1077 air rifle, which he said is a BB gun, although it looks real.

In May and June, Prince William police used the red flag law twice to remove guns from two suicidal individuals in separate incidents in Woodbridge.

Prince William police removed a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm handgun from a 61-year-old Woodbridge man and returned it to the man’s brother who had lent it to him just days before for protection from an alleged violent roommate, according to court records.

The Woodbridge man had just sent a text message to his brother stating:

“I’ll leave the door unlocked, and I’ll be in the bedroom upstairs. … I’m sorry but I can’t take it anymore. I’m tired of living like this. F*** THE WORLD! I’m sorry.”

The text message prompted the man’s brother to call police, and the Woodbridge man was detained for a mental health evaluation, court records said.

Police recovered the handgun from the nightstand next to the man’s bed. Police returned the weapon to the man’s brother after he proved to the court that he was the rightful owner, according to court records.

Police also confiscated a Thompson Center Arms 50-caliber musket from the Woodbridge man, according to court records.

In June, police responded to a call about a 30-year-old Woodbridge man experiencing a schizophrenic episode after not taking his prescribed medication for an extended period of time. The man’s family told police that they were scared for his safety as well as their own because the man was irate and pacing. They told police they heard the man “working the slide of a firearm” and stating: “Let them come arrest me.” The man was hospitalized for his mental condition, court records show.

“Two pistols” were confiscated from the man after the ESR order was granted, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman.

In its first year after being enacted by the Virginia General Assembly, local police employed the red flag law to confiscate more than 20 guns from at least eight Prince William County residents and one Manassas City resident. In 2022, the law was used to remove five guns from three Prince William County residents, not including the BB gun from the Manassas resident.

The use of ESR orders in the county is consistent with “the intent of the law,” which “is to keep people safe when there is a reason to believe the individual poses a threat to themselves or others,” Perok said.

Red flag laws are “a good tool to have” in certain situations, “for the safety of everyone involved,” said Larkin, the City of Manassas police spokesman.

Democrat Kerensa Sumers enters the race for Gainesville supervisor

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

Kerensa Sumers, 39, of Manassas, has announced her bid to represent the Gainesville District on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors in the wake of former supervisor Pete Candland’s resignation. She is the first and only Democrat so far to throw her hat in the ring.

After working for nearly nine years for the Prince William County Department of Community Services as a services coordinator linking disabled residents and their families with support services, Sumers left that job earlier this month to work in a similar capacity for Loudoun County.

Sumers, who has a master’s degree in public policy and public administration from Liberty University, said: “Having worked for the county government, I could see certain flaws” in Prince William County government. Among them, she listed a “lack of transparency,” especially with regard to pay and job descriptions, as problems that lead to “a lot of turnovers” that “negatively affects everybody.”

Advocating for collective bargaining in the county is a top priority for Sumers, who said she has been helping to organize a union among the county’s employees. Collective bargaining is good for both employ-

If elected Gainesville supervisor, Sumers said she would like to focus on building a community center with children’s activities and also a pool on the western side of the county. The county’s SplashDown

Big data centers mean big profits DATA CENTERS, from page 1 The roots of this bonanza are found in the global data explosion. According to a graphic presented by data center operator Digital Crossroads, every minute of the day, 400,000 apps are downloaded worldwide, 4.1 million search queries hit Google, and $1.1 million is spent shopping online.

This creates an ever-increasing volume of data that must be stored, linked and processed somewhere. Meanwhile, more and more companies that used to handle their own data are now contracting the work to data center companies.

Banking, online shopping, video-streaming, gaming and more–all are migrating to what is loosely called “the cloud.”

AWS, for instance, offers 238 products to suit business needs–from pure data storage to a combination of services to run a business, from interfacing with the public online to storing product information to customer fulfillment. AWS’s products can help clients store and analyze health data, make and monetize videos, detect fraud, catalog and analyze financial data or build their own data storage warehouse.

Let’s say someone wanted to start a business selling car repair videos. If they expected up to 500 users of their site, planned to store and access three to nine terabytes of data and wanted to use a webbased front end and customer interface, the cost of AWS’s services would come to under $2,200 a year, according to AWS’s product-pricing calculator.

On the other end, if an insurance company wanted to store 500 terabytes of data–a huge amount--it would pay AWS $11,000 a month, or $132,000 a year, for the storage, according to the website.

That may seem like a lot of money, but if an insurance company is running its own data center, its costs would well surpass that amount. As a result, many big companies are farming out their data processing, storage and retrieval to data center companies.

Waterpark and the Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center, open to county residents, are both located outside Manassas, but the county has no other public, outdoor pools in the Gainesville or Brentsville districts.

Sumers said she would also like to tackle the issue of the unhoused in the county and install community gardens. She said she thinks more outreach should be done to families who are dealing with mental illness and substance abuse and need to access services locally.

“The gateway drug is not marijuana. The gateway drug is trauma,” she said.

If elected, Sumers said she would work to bring “affordable, sustainable housing” to the county by partnering with sustainable builders, carefully looking at zoning classifications and prioritizing maintaining “green spaces.”

Sumers says she believes a “good portion” of the rural crescent should be maintained “because we’re going to run out of green space very quickly if we continue to just keep developing, developing, and developing and thinking that somehow everything’s going to magically work out, because it’s not.”

But Sumers said she isn’t against allowing connections to the public sewer lines into the rural area. The key, she said, is to employ smart

“If I’m a CEO, I am always looking at ways to cut costs,” said Mike Fultz, a Fauquier information technology consultant. “The cost of buying backend storage is still cheaper than doing it yourself.”

All this data is stored in huge windowless buildings packed with computer equipment. They hold servers, which are small but powerful computers, data storage units like disc or solid-state drives, and switching units that connect functions to other functions, either in the same building or via the internet In most data centers the servers and other devices are stacked in slots on 19-inch-wide racks like “pizza boxes,” as Fultz put it. A modest-sized data center of, say, 200,000 square feet may contain thousands of “pizza boxes.”

Interestingly, a company does not lease a particular server. To optimize performance, data center management may move the software around, so a client’s programs may be running on a server in row 35 one day and in row 104 the next. For this reason, it is impossible to attach what a customer is paying to a piece of hardware, and even harder for an outsider to assess how much money a piece of equipment earns for the data center.

Why are data centers so big? Going big allows for economies of scale. The companies can realize savings when they buy or build massive amounts of equipment – some spend $1 billion.

That produces a windfall for local governments, which can tax business property. With thousands of servers and computers in one building, personnel management costs are cheaper. And the vast amount and arrays of equipment give them enormous flexibility, like being able to ramp up operations at Christmastime, said Fred Smith, a Fauquier County resident who worked for NTT and ran a data center in New York City.

And once in place, the equipment keeps making money.

“It’s all about scale and earning your money back over and over,” said one former Amazon finance manager.

growth philosophies in the rural crescent, which she defines as growth that’s “focused” and “person-centered, not profit-centered.”

“Smart growth to me isn’t just putting in a bunch of data centers and hoping that helps out everything financially,” she added “It’s actually investing more in smaller businesses.”

The two Republican candidates who have entered the race, Alyson Satterwhite and Bob Weir, have been campaigning on rolling back the supervisors’ move to eliminate rural crescent development rules as part of the “Pathway to 2040” comprehensive plan update. Prior to that vote, development in the rural area had been limited to one home per 10 acres and zoning rules mostly prohibited connections to the public sewer line. Those measures, adopted in 1998, aimed to limit residential sprawl.

Sumers, however, said she believes some change to those limits is necessary. “You can’t go back in time. It’s never going to happen,” she said.

A special election for the vacant Gainesville District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 21.

Data centers use various business models.

Some may serve governments, federal and local, whose contracts are valued for their longevity and dependability of payment. More serve commercial users, either by providing single services like storage or a suite of services, as AWS does.

But customers may also lease space in a data center for their own equipment, a practice known as “co-location.” Fultz worked with an organization he declined to identify that rented a locked space, or “cage,” in a data center in Ashburn. His agency provided the computers, while the data center provided electric power, network wiring, security and cooling.

Some 2,200 companies worldwide offer co-location services. Equinex, which has 240 locations in 27 countries–including 18 in Northern Virginia– specializes in co-location of interrelated businesses.

It says in its federal filings that it realized $500 million in net income on $6.6 billion in sales in 2021.

According to the former Amazon manager, the giant retailer had been running its own data centers to support its online business. It saw how expensive that could be, but that spawned an idea: If it could provide those services to others at a good price, it could make a lot of money.

And so, in 2007, the company decided to jump in big.

“They got into this industry before Oracle, before IBM, before Microsoft, before all of them,” he said. “And when you’re in tech, those that get there first earn the most money.”

Amazon invested heavily and dominated the market. Fifteen years later, they still dominate: AWS’s share of the market is 34%, followed by Microsoft Azure at 21% and Google Cloud at 11%.

According to Amazon.com filings, the AWS segment generated only 13% of total company sales in 2021. But AWS margins are much higher than the retail business. In 2021, AWS’s operating income margin was 29.7%, while the retail business ran at under 2%.

Prince William Times | December 29, 2022

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A Muslim’s perspective on Christmas As billions of people in the United States and around the world celebrate Christmas, the question arises: Why do Muslims not celebrate Christmas? As an Ahmadi Muslim who believes that the prophecy of Christ’s second coming has been fulfilled in the person of His Holiness Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, I will try to answer this question.

Most Christians celebrate Christmas, believing it to be the birthday of Jesus (peace be upon him). But do we know that Jesus (peace be upon him) was born on Dec. 25? Is there a consensus among historians about this date? Can the religious scriptures support this?

According to Bible: “[A]nd she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.

She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” (Luke 2:7,8 and 11) Qur’an describes the birth of Jesus as follows: “So, she conceived him and withdrew with him to a remote place. And the pains of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of a palm tree. She said, ‘O! would that I had died before this and had become a thing quite forgotten!’

Then he called her from beneath her, [saying], ‘Grieve not. Thy Lord has placed a rivulet below thee; And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm tree; it will cause fresh ripe dates to fall upon thee.” (Chapter 19, verses 23-26) The above verses place the time of Jesus’ birth between July and October, as that is the time dates ripen in the Judaic region. It is unimaginable to think of Mary giving birth to a baby out in the open, and the newborn surviving the frigid winter nights of December in that area.

Many Christians can’t reconcile with how Muslims claim to accept Jesus (peace be upon him) and not celebrate his birthday. Muslim adore Jesus (peace be upon him) and believe him to be a chosen prophet of God. Jesus is the most mentioned person in the Qur’an. In fact, Jesus is mentioned by name or title 25 times. Maryam (Mary)

is also revered in Islam, and her name is mentioned in the Qur’an 34 times. A complete Chapter (Surah Maryam) is dedicated to Hazrat Maryam.

Ahmadi Muslims don’t celebrate birthdays because it is not an Islamic tradition. Muslims don’t celebrate the birthday of any prophet. Moreover, Christmas is a Christian religious festival. As Christians don’t celebrate Eid, an Islamic religious festival, or Dewali, a Hindu religious festival, it would be unwise to expect the followers of other religions to celebrate a Christian religious festival.

Even the Gospels do not mention the date of Jesus’ birth, and Christmas only became popular in 800 CE, when Charlemagne was crowned emperor of the Roman Empire on Christmas Day. (“The Origins of Christmas: Pagan Rites, Drunken Revels, and More,” Newsweek, Dec. 24, 2018.)

The extravagant amounts spent on Christmas holidays can be best spent on helping the poor and needy. This would better conform to the religious teachings and spirit.

Islam teaches us to act upon the teachings of the prophet in our daily lives. Religion teaches the responsibilities we owe to our creator and His creation. By discharging our responsibilities to humanity, we seek God’s pleasure and contribute to the world’s peace.

I call upon the Christian world to emulate the teachings of Jesus (peace be upon him). By acting upon his teachings, the Christian nations will contribute to the world’s peace. Some of Jesus’ teachings relevant to peace are: “You will love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matthew 5:43-44) “…and to turn the other cheek.” (Matthew 5:39).

As the Christian world celebrates Christmas around the world, I wish them peace and blessings. If you have any questions about Islam or want to know the Islamic perspective on any issue, feel free to reach out to me, my contact details are given below.

SHAMSHAD AHMAD NASIR Imam of Masroor Mosque Manassas

Grateful for supervisors’ approval of the Digital Gateway I would like to thank the Prince William County Board of Supervisors for their favorable approval of the controversial data center project in Gainesville. As a retired IBEW

member, I know these data centers create meaningful jobs for our commonwealth.

BILL GIUSTI, IBEW 26 (RETIRED)

Haymarket

Supervisors’ data center vote offers a twist on ‘Let them eat cake’ When 18th century French peasants were starving for want of bread, Marie-Antoinette purportedly quipped: “Let them eat cake.”

Our similarly detached Prince William Board of County Supervisors has updated this condescension to: “Let them drink salt.”

The city of The Dalles, Oregon recently abandoned its 13-month Google-funded lawsuit against Oregon’s largest newspaper, The Oregonian, to keep a Google data center’s water consumption secret from its citizens. It was since revealed that Google’s water use nearly tripled in the past five years, now consuming 29% all water used in the city in the midst of a multi-year drought. Two more data centers are planned.

How different is that from what is happening right here in Prince William County? Your government signed non-disclosure agreements with multi-billion-dollar corporations to suppress inconvenient truths about the ill effects of

runaway data center development.

Supervisors deliberately avoided studying the environmental impacts on the fragile Occoquan watershed in their irresponsible pursuit of expedience.

The county’s intransigence has necessitated that taxpayers sue them to compel the minimal due diligence expected of public servants.

Your government’s dismissive response to our lawsuit asserts its citizens have no right to challenge their egregiously negligent conduct -- basically claiming it’s our tough luck for putting them in charge.

Big tech companies are the robber barons of the 21st century, and the intoxicating lure of their wealth and power has turned our own government against us. Our only defense is a new citizen-centric government, less susceptible to corporate temptations.

BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

In support of Bob Weir for Gainesville supervisor The recent resignation of Pete Candland provides Gainesville District residents with the opportunity to regain their lost voice and install one that will finally advocate for their interests. Considering the damage that has been done in the past year, it is essential that the new voice is a capable and powerful one, and ready out of the gate to reverse the hostile tide running against the Gainesville District on the board of county supervisors.

The candidate with the needed capabilities and experience at this critical juncture is Bob Weir.

Those involved in the year-long fight against irresponsible land-use decisions by the current board know how Bob has worked tirelessly to ensure greater transparency of their

developer-centric agenda. Accordingly, he is the one best suited to disrupt their efforts to give away the store during crucial upcoming rezoning processes.

The Gainesville Republicans are holding an open mass meeting at the Park Valley Church in Haymarket on Monday, Jan. 2. Regardless of political affiliation, Gainesville District residents must nominate the best candidate for their future.

All Gainesville District residents who care about preserving their quality of life should get themselves, their families and their friends to the Park Valley Church on Jan. 2 to ensure the nomination of Bob Weir for Gainesville District supervisor.

Leopold’s Preserve hosts new indoor winter lecture series

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

The trails and open spaces at Leopold’s Preserve offer an opportunity for visitors of every age to experience the wonder of nature around every turn. But while it’s cold outside for the next few months, Leopold’s Preserve is offering a new indoor lecture series featuring local experts discussing natural topics of regional interest.

Named for the famous conservationist Aldo Leopold, Leopold’s Preserve is located off of Va. 55 in Haymarket and consists of more than 380 acres of natural space open to the public every day from dawn until dusk.

The preserve encircles the Villages of Piedmont residential community. When the homes were developed, some acreage was protected in perpetuity in a conservation easement held by the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust. The White House Farm Foundation, a nonprofit educational foundation, owns and manages the preserve and welcomes hundreds of visitors each week.

While the public is always invited to visit Leopold’s, Laura Hassel, executive director of the White House Farm Foundation, said she knows

And she was right. On Dec. 7, more than 20 people attended a talk about Leopold Preserve’s resident and migratory birds presented by local birding expert Dave Larsen.

Three more lectures are scheduled on the first Wednesdays in January, February and March. The lectures will be held at the Villages of Piedmont II clubhouse, 6770 Pinchot Lane, Haymarket.

On Jan. 4, the topic will be watershed management. Valerie Huelsman, an environmental educator with the Virginia Cooperative Extension, will discuss the natural water cycle, stormwater and management strategies that can help reduce pollution.

On Wednesday, Feb. 1, Alison Zak, the founder of the Human Beaver Coexistence Fund, will discuss beavers’ role in our ecosystems.

The last lecture will be on Wednesday, March 1, and will feature Nancy Vehrs, president of the Virginia Native Plant Society, who will discuss the importance of the region’s native plants.

Environmental education is an important part of Leopold Preserve’s mission – not only for children but also for adults, Hassel said.

Noting that Leopold’s has several 55-plus communities nearby, Hassel said she especially hopes the series will attract seniors who are interested in the natural environment to attend and learn what Leopold’s Preserve has to offer year-round.

Patriot, Battlefield boys hoops squads on collision course

By Peter Brewington

Randall; and Isaiah Vick, a 6-6 junior forward. Dezmond Hopkins, a junior guard, is another potent weapon.

Randall scored 12 points and Hopkins 11 in the Churchill win.

Patriot’s lone loss came in its opener to defending state champion Hayfield 75-73 on Dec. 1.

Battlefield hosts Patriot on Jan. 13, with the rematch at Patriot in the regular season finale on Feb. 3.

Times Staff Writer

January 13, 2023 is not that far away.

Circle it. That’s when the streaking Patriot (6-1) and Battlefield (100) boys basketball teams meet for the first time this year.

Patriot beat Battlefield four times last year, including 82-69 in the region final, but the Bobcats won the fifth meeting, 55-54, in the Class 6 state semifinals on a 3-pointer by Bryce Hammersley with 15 seconds left before a packed Patriot gym.

Battlefield is 10-0 after downing Woodbridge 60-37 in a holiday tournament game at Lake Braddock on Tuesday.

The Bobcats are bidding to repeat their spectacular 2022 season that saw them lose in the Class 6 final to Hayfield 67-47. Led by 6-foot-5 senior Ryan Derderian and senior guards Maddux Tennant, Ty Gordon and Hasan Hammad, the Bobcats are hungry for more.

They’re 4-0 in the Cedar Run District with wins over Osbourn Park, Unity Reed, John Champe and Freedom. The Bobcats have survived three close games, downing South Lakes 61-59, Forest Park 55-52 and

Gainesville boys are 7-2

Senior point guard Nasir Coleman and the Patriot Pioneers are cruising again.

The five-time defending Cedar Run District regular season champions are 6-1 and 3-0 in district. Nearby rival Battlefield (10-0, 4-0) also has designs on the title.

The teams meet on Friday, Jan. 13 at Battlefield, then again Feb. 3 at Patriot.

Independence 59-56.

Elsewhere, Patriot — winners of the last five Cedar Run regular season crowns — is also rolling at 6-1 and 3-0 in the Cedar Run after defeating Winston Churchill (Md.) 65-49 in

a holiday tournament in Wicomico County, Md., earlier this week.

The Pioneers, who were 26-1 last year, are led by returning senior Nasir Coleman, a first team all-state guard last year; 6-3 senior swing man Jay

After an impressive 7-0 start to the season, the Gainesville High boys basketball team fell to Patriot 72-53 on Dec. 16.

The Cardinals, a second-year program, opened the season with a string of strong performances, beating Gar-Field 65-49, as well as Annandale 62-57, John Lewis 68-48, Osbourn Park 80-46, Liberty 67-47, John Champe 75-57 and Osbourn 72-65.

Patriot ended Gainesville’s perfect run with a decisive home win as Kaden Bates scored 18 points, Nasir Coleman 13 and Dezmond Hopkins 12.

Gainesville is 7-2 and 3-1 in the Cedar Run. Against Patriot, Grant Polk led Gainesville with 17, Trevor Moody scored 15 and Sean Panjsheeri had 11.

10 OBITUARIES

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | December 29, 2022

OBITUARIES Edward T. Scott, Retired Navy Commander Edward Tyler Scott, 92, a retired nuclear submarine commander with the U.S. Navy, passed away Dec. 7 at his longtime home in Broad Run, Virginia.

Born in Los Angeles, California to accountant Reuben Ellis Scott Jr. and his wife, Mignon Tyler Scott, “Ted” grew up during the Great Depression. He attended the University of California, Berkeley for two years prior to entering the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.

Scott graduated 11th in his class from the Academy in 1953 with a degree in electrical engineering and received the Admiral Sims Memorial Award for leadership. In 1961, he met Diane Elaine McMinn, RN, while stationed in Hawaii; they were married the same year.

During his naval career, Scott served as Executive Officer of the Gold Crew of USS Daniel Boone (SSBN-629), a James Madison-class ballistic missile submarine. He also became one of Admiral Hyman Rickover’s elite team of nuclear submarine commanders, captaining the experimental vessel USS Seawolf (SSN-575) for three years during the Cold War (1966-1968).

Scott retired from the U.S. Navy in 1973 at the rank of Commander, having merited the Navy Expeditionary Medal (Classified), the United Nations Medal, the Navy Unit Commendation, the National Defense Service Medal and the Korean Service Medal. He then turned his considerable talents to helping design components of the sonar systems for the Trident submarines at IBM Manassas (Virginia).

When Scott retired from IBM in 1988, he embraced the country life at his family’s home in the Bull Run mountains of Virginia, where he also enjoyed tinkering with HO-scale model trains.

Scott is remembered as a brilliant, kind and loyal man with a big smile who was devoted to both his country and his family.

He was the cherished husband of Diane McMinn Scott of Broad Run; proud father of Laurel Kathryn Scott of Richmond, Virginia and Heather Robin Scott Eddy of Bristow, Virginia; and loving grandfather of Sofia Eddy, also of Bristow. Other survivors include Mary Shaver and Frank Scott (the children of Edward Scott’s brother Vincent, who predeceased him); his sister-in law, Treon Suzanne Phillis; and Phillis’ children, Shanna Smith and Scott Watkins. He is greatly missed by those he left behind.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Scott’s memory to Hospice of the Piedmont or the American Parkinson Disease Association.

Betty J. Veitenheimer On Friday, December 23rd, Betty died in Fredericksburg, Va. She had been in hospice care at her daughter’s home in Fredericksburg, Virginia. She was 99 years old.

Betty is survived by her two children; Kathleen O’Neill of Fredericksburg, Virginia and Wayne Smallwood of Remington, Virginia.

She is also survived by three grandchildren; Erin McKibben of Bristow, Virginia, Patrick O’Neill of Manassas, Virginia and Caitlin Stevens of Westminster, Maryland. Betty is also survived by 11 great grandchildren. Betty is preceded in death by her first husband and father of her children, Arthur Smallwood.

She is also preceded in death by her second husband, Malcolm Veitenheimer.

Betty was born on April 4, 1923 in Washington D.C. She grew up and attended school in Arlington, Virginia. She was married to Arthur Smallwood in 1947 until his death in 1970. Betty was a wife, mother and homemaker. She later worked for The Virginia Department of Transportation and Northern Virginia Community College. Betty married Malcom Veitenheimer in 1977 and was married to him until his death in 1997. Betty and Malcolm retired to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and lived there from 1980 to 1992. She enjoyed the beach, fishing, gardening, camping and crafts. They returned to Virginia and lived in Midland, Virginia. Betty was a member of Liberty United Methodist Church in Bealeton, Virginia.

There will be a memorial service at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton Virginia 20186 on Friday, December 30th at 10:30a.m.
