Study: Prince William police turnover rate tops region

Lagging pay, lack of pay scale for public-safety officers contributes to retention issues By Jill Palermo

Once during a show, Norman was approached by someone who worked at a senior home who asked if he would play for them. While he liked the idea, he said he didn’t think they would want to hear him play Poison or America. So, he

Years of tight budgets have taken a toll on the salaries of Prince William’s public-safety officers, leaving the county police department with the highest turnover rate in Northern Virginia and a nearly 200-percent increase in officer separations over the last five years. Those were some of the eye-popping conclusions presented to the Prince William Board of Supervisors last week by a private consulting firm hired last year to study public-safety officer compensation issues in Prince William County. The $231,000 study, conducted by the Philadelphia-based PFM Consulting, LLC, said “compression” of salaries among mid-level officers is particularly problematic, as is the county’s lack of a clear pay scale that would allow public-safety personnel to better predict future salary growth. The study said Prince William County’s starting salaries for public-safety personnel are generally “competitive” with federal law-enforcement agencies and neighboring jurisdictions – both of which pose the most hiring competition to the county. But Prince William’s recent practice of alternating cost-of-living raises with merit-pay bonuses -- instead of following a set pay scale stipulating raises based on years of experience -- has resulted in salaries rising more slowly in Prince William compared to other Northern Virginia jurisdictions, the study found. The county froze employee pay in 2010 and 2011 and began the alternating pay raises in 2012. As a result, some local public-safety personnel hired before or during the worst years of the recession now make less than those who were hired more recently and have fewer years of experience, the study said.

‘Stormin’ Norman’ Voss – friend to the homeless, crooner to the elderly, rocker for charity – is a Woodbridge tour de force By aileen m. sTreng ConTriBuTing WriTer

Norman Voss is the crazy frontman for the Stormin’ Norman Band. Onstage, he will be decked out in colorful wigs or cowboy hats and sunglasses rocking out for the crowd. But there is a lot more to this man. On New Year’s Eve – well, afternoon – he wore a black tuxedo and crooned Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley for the residents of Potomac Place, an assisted living facility in Woodbridge. He often got down on one knee to serenade the women, many in wheelchairs or with walkers. He gazed into their eyes, held their hand sand sang Elvis Presley’s “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” and other love songs. On Christmas Eve, he spent time in the woods playing “In Excelsis Deo” with some homeless friends, one with a tambourine, the other using a stick and a bucket for a drum.

When the band played Tommy Tutone’s “867-5309/Jenny,” the Jennifers – including his now-wife – were thrilled. Voss thought Jennifer would soon grow tired of just watching the band so he taught her to play bass and she soon joined them onstage. At her first show, she played 36 songs. They married in 2003. They played every weekend for several years until their daughter Abigail was born in 2006.

Semper K9 rescue puppy to compete in Puppy Bowl By Amanda Heincer timEs staff WritEr

COURTESY PHOTO

Pete, a rescue dog training at Semper K9 to be a service dog for a disabled veteran will compete in this year’s puppy bowl.

It’s almost time for the big game. No, not the Super Bowl. Sure, that’s Sunday, too, but for many animal lovers, Sunday is all about the Puppy Bowl. Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl XIV airs at 3 p.m. and this year a local service-dog-in-training will be among the furry contenders vying for the coveted Lombarky trophy. Pete, a rescue dog training with the Woodbridge-based Semper K9 to be a service dog for a disabled veteran, will compete in this year’s Puppy Bowl under the name Alvin. “We are thrilled to have Pete in-

cluded in this year’s Puppy Bowl,” Semper K9’s executive director and founder Christopher Baity said in a news release. “I love that this event showcases the importance of rescue dogs and in our case rescue dogs trained to be service dogs for disabled veterans.” Semper K9 adopted Pete from Operation Paws for Homes, the group’s official rescue partner. Pete’s sibling Duff, also adopted from Operation Paws from Homes, will be included in the Puppy Bowl’s pre-bowl coverage. “We are excited to see Pete compete in the Puppy Bowl and score a touchdown because we know he will

score many more touchdowns as he helps his service member later in life,” said Nate Newhouse, a Semper K9 volunteer who has been training Pete. The furry stars will be available to mingle with their adoring public at a Puppy Bowl viewing party at the Wag & Brew, 614 S. Pickett St., Alexandria, from 3-6 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free and donations will be accepted for Operation Paws for Homes. Pete and Duff will be there. Animal Planet’s annual Puppy Bowl began in 2005 as a way to raise awareness about pet adoptions and rescues. In the Puppy Bowl, dogs on teams Ruff and Fluff compete to score the most touchdowns with dog toys.

Eastern puma officially declared extinct; sightings continue Removal of mountain lions from the endangered list paves way for a reintroduction By Kari Pugh

ExEcutivE Editor

Despite no shortage of public doubt, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last week officially declared the eastern puma extinct and removed it from the federal endangered species list. More commonly known as mountain lions or cougars, the large cat once roamed from Canada to Florida, but their populations were largely killed off in the 1700s and 1800s, according to the Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit devoted to the protection of endangered species and wild places. U.S. Fish and Wildlife has presumed the eastern puma extinct for more than 70 years, but the ghosts of Virginia mountain lions persist.

Last June, all outdoor activities were canceled and students escorted to their buses after a reported mountain lion sighting near Chris Yung Elementary School in Bristow. Officers searched the area and found no mountain lion, said Prince William police Sgt. Jonathan Perok. There were also reported sightings this fall in the Midland area in Fauquier County and several reports in the last five years of a mountain lion in the Westridge area near Lake Ridge and at Prince William Forest Park. Sightings are reported across Virginia every year, but state wildlife officials insist they don’t live here. The last cougar ever shot and killed in the commonwealth was in 1882, and since then there has never been solid evidence they still roam Virginia. The Jan. 22 removal of the eastern puma from the endangered species list allows for their reintroduction, something the Center for Biological Diversity is advocating. “We need large carnivores like cougars to

keep the wild food web healthy, so we hope eastern and midwestern states will reintroduce them,” Michael Robinson, a conservation advocate at the center, said in a news release. “Cougars would curb deer overpopulation and tickborne diseases that threaten human health.” The Fish and Wildlife Service cited several areas where habitat would support reintroduction of the cougar, including the Adirondacks, New England, the Great Lakes region and elsewhere in the Midwest, the center reported.

Montclair man awaiting trial in stabbing sentenced in another case in Fredericksburg A Montclair man accused of stabbing an acquaintance in his home last summer has been sentenced in a similar crime in the Fredericksburg area. Sean Kyle Irwin, 24, of the 15200 block of Streamside Court, was charged with stabbing his boyfriend at a restaurant in Fredericksburg in May and pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding in October, according to the Free Lance-Star. Last week, he was sentenced to one year in jail for the crime. While out on bond in the Fredericksburg case, Irwin was arrested

in Prince William County after another stabbing at his home in Montclair. On Aug. 2 at 11:36 p.m., officers were called to the 15200 block of Streamside Court, Sean Kyle Irwin where they found a 30-year-old man suffering serious injuries to the upper body. “Officers detained the accused and provided preliminary first aid to the victim, who was flown to an area

hospital with serious injuries,” said Prince William County police Sgt. Jonathan Perok. Irwin was arrested and charged with aggravated malicious wounding. During their investigation, officers noticed “signs of narcotics use,” Perok said. A search warrant was

obtained and in the house, police found marijuana, heroin, cocaine, prescription medications, a firearm, cash and items consistent with narcotics distribution, he said. A jury trial in the case is scheduled for Feb. 28 in Prince William Circuit Court.

Beltway sniper Lee Boyd Malvo seeks re-sentencing By Logan Bogert

Capital News serviCe

A three-judge federal appeals court panel heard arguments Jan. 23 on whether Lee Boyd Malvo, who was convicted of murder in the Beltway sniper attacks in 2002, is entitled to a new sentencing under a U.S. Supreme Court decision that made life without parole unconstitutional for juveniles. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges listened to arguments from Malvo’s lawyer, Craig Cooley, and Virginia’s deputy solicitor general, Matthew McGuire. “There are real serious considerations in re-sentencing dangerous criminals – which no one can argue Mr. Malvo isn’t,” McGuire said in court. Malvo was 17 when he and John Allen Muhammad, then 41, killed 10 people in Virginia, Maryland and Washington during September and

October 2002. Muhammad was sentenced to death and executed in Virginia in 2009 for the Oct. 9, 2002, shooting death of Dean H. Meyers, Lee Boyd Malvo 53, at a Sunoco station on Va. 234 near Interstate 66 in theManassas area.. Malvo was given four life terms and is an inmate at Red Onion State Prison in Wise County. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Miller v. Alabama that a juvenile could not be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, except in the rarest of cases. Even then, a sentencing judge must make an individualized and focused evaluation before sentencing, the high court said. Last year, citing the Miller decision, U.S. District Judge Raymond

Jackson of Norfolk ordered a new sentencing for Malvo, now 32. Virginia appealed Jackson’s ruling. As a result, lawyers for both sides presented arguments to 4th Circuit Judges Paul Niemeyer, Robert King and Albert Diaz. Cooley argued that in Malvo’s case, when given the option of life without parole or death, the jury voted unanimously to sentence him to life without parole – the lowest sentencing option at that time. “It is possible, given the option, that they would have gone lower than life without parole,” Cooley told the court. McGuire presented his counterar-

gument. “Lee Boyd Malvo is a serial murderer,” one of his documents states. “Lee Boyd Malvo and John Muhammad terrorized people living along the I-95 corridor between Virginia and Maryland for nearly a month in the fall of 2002, randomly killing 10 innocent people going about their daily activities and wounding numerous others, including a child.” The appeals panel did not indicate when it might rule. Malvo has been convicted and given life sentences in Maryland as well. Last year, a judge ruled that he will not receive a new sentencing hearing there.

Police investigating shooting at Manassas-area apartment complex Police are searching for an unknown suspect they say shot a man multiple times in the lower body Jan. 23 in a Manassas-area apartment complex. At 7:02 p.m., Prince William police officers responded to the Maplewood Park Apartments in the 8100 block of Peakwood Court to investigate a shooting. When officers arrived, they found a 28-year-old man suffering gunshot wounds to his lower body, said Prince William police spokesman Nathan Probus. Officers gave immediate first aid to the man before rescue crews arrived on scene. He was flown to a

nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, Probus said. Police say an initial investigation revealed that the man was involved in a verbal altercation with an unknown suspect who fled the scene. A police K-9 searched the area for the suspect, but did not find anyone. Police say the incident does not appear to be random. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Prince William Police at 703-7927000 or submit a web tip to www. pwcgov.org/policetip.

Police: Man in van tries to abduct boy walking to bus stop

Manassas police are investigating after a boy was reportedly approached by a stranger in a white van Jan. 19 as he walked to his school bus stop. The boy’s mom told officers it happened around 6:45 a.m. in the area of Point of Woods Drive near Liberia Avenue, city police said in a news release. The boy reported that a man in a white work van with blue lettering above the rear tires approached and told him to “get in the van,” police said. The boy immediately fled the area.

The suspect was described as about 45 years old, heavyset and Hispanic. Anyone with information about this event is encouraged to call the Manassas City Police Department Investigative Services Division at 703-257-8092 or Crime Solvers. The Manassas City/Manassas Park Crime Solvers will pay a cash reward up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case. The confidential 24-hour tip line is 703-330-0330.

Woman charged with sexually abusing child 20 years ago A New Hampshire woman was arrested and extradited to Virginia last week after a family member came forward to police alleging the woman began sexually assaulting her as a child 20 years ago in Woodbridge. On June 4, Prince William County police detectives with the Special Victims Bureau began to investigate sexual assault that is alleged to have occurred between November 1997 and June 2000 at a Woodbridge home. A 26-year-old woman, who was 6 to 8 years old at the time, told police she was sexually assaulted on more than one occasion by Kayte Baum, a family member, said county police spokesman Nathan Probus. Following an investigation, detectives obtained multiple warrants for Baum on Dec. 6. Baum was arrested in New

Hampshire on Dec. 9, and was extradited back to Prince William on Jan. 23. Baum was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery, three Katye Baum counts of taking indecent liberties with a child and three counts of object sexual penetration. She is being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center and her court date is pending. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Prince William Police at 703-7927000 or submit a web tip to www. pwcgov.org/policetip.

‘100 percent a good guy’ VOSS, From Page 1

Since his range of music had expanded, he also started playing at weddings every Saturday during the season, singing Sinatra and playing acoustical classical guitar. He’s performed at about 450 weddings with the help of Jennifer, who does photography, and Abigail, who does video. Voss describes himself as a “shy guy, but I fall into these things that I never thought I would do but then I do them.”

“I learned young that you can stand there and just play the guitar or you can make it more interesting. I wear wigs. I jump on the tables. I wear beards,” Voss said. “We will go to the party store after Halloween and see what’s left over and buy stuff,” he said. Then he brings all the stuff with him when it’s time to perform. “You don’t want to need your rainbow Mohawk and not have your rainbow Mohawk,” Jennifer Voss said. Voss said he’s trying to get away from playing in smoky bars until 1 a.m. Instead, you might find him playing at a charity for the homeless, a Toys for Tots fundraiser or on a small island in the middle of the Occoquan Bay, as he did last summer, when folks on more than 200 boats came out for the Holiday Island party which will become an annual event. Voss said he’s been called Stormin’ Norman since “back in the day” when Stormin’ Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., led coalition forces during the first Gulf War. Abigail Voss didn’t learn that her father wasn’t the first Stormin’ Norman until during a home-schooling lesson with her mom. “She was horrified. She said, ‘Wait a minute, my Daddy isn’t the famous one?’” said Jennifer Voss. Abigail and Voss’s friend Brennan have often been subjects of Voss’ video hobby for the last two years. “I am into making videos,” Voss said. That’s blatantly obvious by looking at his Facebook page and the Stormin’ Norman Band Facebook page. There are new ones posted just about every day.

Stormin’ Norman

Frank B on the Scene

learned to play the crooners. He’s been playing at Potomac Place in Woodbridge for 11 years and knows many of the residents by name. “Music is the key to the heart,” said Christine Swann, activities director at Potomac Place. “He is very engaging. He is by far their favorite.” While the Stormin’ Norman Band still plays occasionally, Voss spends more of his free time playing at senior homes. He’s been to about 20 in the area over the last 10 years. He remembers asking a woman at a senior home her name. She didn’t remember, but when he started playing an Elvis song, she knew all the words. “Music is so amazing. It will bring you back to your youth,” he said. He said when he leaves a senior home, he leaves happy. “I tell them, ‘You are the greatest generation this country has ever produced. You warm my heart as much as you say I warm yours,’” Voss said. “I think it is so neat that he sees that music can inspire,” said Jennifer Voss. “It brings them back. It brings joy. There are so many sweet stories he comes home with.”

Wedding singer

Voss describes the Stormin’ Norman Band’s music as “songs everyone knows” from the 1960s through today. The band consists of his brother, Oliver, his best friend, Frank Brennan, and sometimes Jennifer Voss. “I want it to be like, ‘Oh, I know that one.’ It’s all about just having fun,” he said. “I think of it as all the songs you want to sing along to when you’re drinking,” Jennifer Voss said.

Voss recently started posting “Frank B on the Scene” videos. Brennan is band member who dyes his hair to look like the “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri on the Food Network. “We would go on these rock cruises with all these bands from the ‘80s – a guys’ cruise,” Voss said. “[Brennan] was getting more attention than the bands. Everyone wanted a picture with him.”

Norman Voss of the Stormin’ Norman Band wears wigs, cowboy hats, crazy sunglasses and whatever feels right at the moment while performing. “We would go to different places and do different things and just took that stuff and posted it on the “Frankie B on the Scene” Facebook page,” Voss said. “We would go to restaurants and bars and do reviews. It’s a fake TV show.”

Helping the homeless

Voss’s involvement with the homeless started a few years ago when Jennifer Voss began volunteering with Woodbridge Homeless Outreach, which has since disbanded and morphed into other homeless organizations. They liked that the effort was more than just raising money; that it was an opportunity to get to know those in the woods and try to meet their needs. There was a time the Voss family was going to dinner and saw a homeless man. Abigail asked her parents to give him money. Norman Voss approached him and realized he was the man who taught him how to play guitar when he was 13. “My daughter wanted me to give him money and I realized I only had two 20s in my pocket. I thought I didn’t want to give him a 20, then I thought I only have two 20s!” Voss said. “It triggered a big change in me. “Being a video guy, I decided to make it personal for everybody,” Voss said. Voss said it took time for the homeless in the woods to trust him enough to let him video them and their situation. He visits the woods about once a week or so. “Norman’s heart for the homeless is enormous. He goes into the woods to visit with his guitar,” said Joyce Entremont, a volunteer with Streetlight Community Outreach Ministries. “Seeing the residents in the camps laughing, happy, singing along and dancing is quite a sight to behold and is solidly heartwarming,” she said. “He gives them a much needed escape from the reality of their dire existence, if only for a while.”

Voss started a GoFundMe page, gofundme.com/woodbridgehomeless, and puts his homeless videos on there to raise money for those he’s gotten to know. That page, along with fundraisers has raised about $12,000, which is given to organizations helping the homeless. Voss credits a Bible passage, Matthew 25, for the reason he helps the homeless. In part: “Whatever you do for the least of these brothers, that you do onto me.” “I want to do what Jesus wants me to do while I am here,” he said. He also visits the Coffeewood Correctional Center in Mitchells every other month. It started with a group of people from his church. Now Voss goes by himself and leads a non-denominational church service for a few hundred inmates.

Heroes in History

If that’s not all, there are the Heroes in History videos that Voss and Jennifer Voss create starring Abigail in period costumes. While homeschooling, Jennifer and Abigail pick a person in history – Frederick Douglass, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere – learn all about them, then go to historic places connected to the person and make an episode of “Heroes in History”. “We all have a love of history,” Voss said. “We go to these places and it’s like a little holiday,” Voss said. “I don’t know where we are going next,” Abigail said. “We have a lot of places on our list,” Voss said. “We have so many things planned.” What will become of the Heroes in History videos is still up in the air. “I don’t really know. I think it’s just a great opportunity for me to learn,” Abigail said. “It’s fun for me to do now.” “It’s just something for us three to do together,” Voss said. “He’s 100 percent a good guy,” Entremont said.

Study: Prince William police turnover rate tops the region POLICE PAY, From Page 1 And that pay compression has resulted in many officers leaving Prince William for jobs with the federal government or other area agencies, the study said. Police separations in particular have “increased steadily” since 2012, when the department lost 18 officers. In 2017, the 639-officer department lost 53 police officers, an increase of nearly 200 percent. The overall rate of departures from the Prince William police department has risen accordingly. The department’s attrition rate stood at 3.1 percent in 2012 but rose to 8.3 percent in 2017, the highest of any Northern Virginia department with publicly reported attrition rates, the study said. The study offered a total of 28 recommendations aimed at fixing the problems, ranging from boosting starting salaries from about $48,000 to $52,000; offering additional targeted raises to ease salary compression and

instituting a pay scale to award consistent annual raises of at least 3 percent. The study also recommended changes specific to each of the county’s public-safety agencies. The fire-andrescue department, for example, was advised to consider scheduling staff for 24-hour shifts, which would increase overall working hours for personnel but slow future hiring needs. But it was noted the suggestion would affect fireand-rescue volunteers, who generally work night and weekend shifts. The recommendations are projected to cost a few million dollars to implement, but the study also noted the county could save money by streamlining pay practices, including the elimination of one-time bonuses that cost the county about $800,000 a year. The presentation caught the attention of the county’s public-safety personnel, who packed the supervisors’ chambers at the James J. McCoart Administration Building for the afternoon meeting.

Colleen Grantham, a police officer, spoke during citizens’ time and said her fellow officers are “eager to see solutions” to the department’s pay issues. “Many of us have been waiting 11 years for you to fix the problems this study brings to light,” Grantham said. “And many more of us couldn’t wait any longer and moved onto other employment. Those of us who are left are watching closely to see what the board chooses to do with this information.” In an interview after the meeting, Police Chief Barry Barnard said he supports adopting a pay scale so officers can better plan for future expenses such as purchasing a home. “Today, officers don’t know what they’re going to make in five years,” Barnard said. “They want a clear compensation plan where they can look ahead and see what it is they will be making down the road, so they can plan accordingly.” Supervisors made no promises regarding the study’s findings, but said

they would consider the recommendations during their upcoming talks on the fiscal year 2019 budget. The board is expected to begin budget discussions in the coming weeks. Supervisor Maureen Caddigan, R-Potomac, called the study an “eye-opener” not just for the board but the wider community, which takes pride in the local police department “but needs to know they are being compensated” at less than competitive rates “and that we are losing our people to Fairfax County.” “I’m looking forward to next month… when we actually have an opportunity to vote,” Caddigan added. Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, called the public-safety officer pay “our number one priority” this year. “We know we’ve got a problem,” Stewart said. “We’re going to get it fixed this year.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Project Manager The Project Manager shall be responsible for planning, organizing, scheduling and coordinating the execution of the assigned projects within the Engineering and Surveying Departments. To carry out this objective the Project Manager must be able to perform several varied but key skills: •Project Management / Scheduling •Technical Surveying and Planning Skills •Knowledge of Computer Systems and Computer Aided Design Software

•Communications and Diplomacy

•Personnel •Quality Control education/ 10 years of Project Management Experience in Civil Engineering and Surveying exPerience: Project Management and Scheduling Position descriPtion: The Project Manager shall act as the focal point on Engineering and Surveying projects. These responsibilities include: d. Facilitating the Review and Approval of Submission a. Proposals Documents b. Coordination with Client and other Consultants e. Review and Monitor Project Financial Reports f. Initiate Change orders c. Process Monitoring The Project Manager shall define appropriate project schedules. In addition, he shall attend the weekly scheduling meeting to report on current progress and to identify upcoming priorities. Following the scheduling meeting, the Project Manager will ensure these priorities are carried out as expediently as possible. The Project Manager will attend Project Initiation Meetings (P.I.M.) which are required for every multi-tasked project and other projects when the scope, schedule or other factors dictate the need for a P.I.M. In addition, the Project Manager will act as a facilitator for the engineering and surveying staff by obtaining needed information, addressing questions and providing assistance to ensure that the engineering staff is fully supported. Much of the necessary project information and ordinance requirements can be passed along at the P.I.M. However, from time to time there will be clarification necessary and the Project Manager shall endeavor to obtain this information for the staff with a minimum of delay to maintain continuing operations on a given project. Quality Control System Of vital importance to the long-term success of the business, Quality Control is the most important aspect of every employee’s job. As such, every final plan, plat, drawing and study that is prepared will be subject to a Quality Control review by the Production Manager who will check for accuracy and completeness in accordance with the general check-lists contained in the Quality Control Manual. Computer Systems Given the importance of computers in the Engineering and Surveying fields, the Project Manager must be comfortable with our Computer Systems, networking and remote communications. More specifically, qualifications include: •Proficiency with word processing and spreadsheet programs and the Microsoft Window XP or newer operating systems. •Proficiency with computer software used for hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and design. Communications/ Diplomacy Critical to the proper execution of this position is the ability to communicate effectively. The initiation of every project begins with the Job Order and Project Initiation Meeting (PIM). The information conveyed at this time is generally derived from a direct meeting with the Client or through other communications with the Client and is often the most critical part of the design process. It is at this point the design objectives of the project and any deficiencies are identified. The Engineering Project Manager may be asked to attend the PIM to familiarize him/ herself with the project and provide insight with regard to design issues. Communication and diplomacy are also key traits once the project is underway. There will inevitably be internal manpower and project conflicts that need to be addressed in a manner that best meets the overall Company objectives. It is important that persons working on a given project be made to feel they are part of the team and their concerns and issues are considered when making priority decisions and organizing the work load. The nature of a growing business is that everyone is generally operating at the limits of their productivity, and in this environment small problems can quickly grow if not resolved diplomatically.

They didn’t make the decision to come here, and I commend those families who brought those children along with them, because I’m all about family.” “…But these people are paying taxes. They pay the taxes that you and I pay, but their future isn’t certain in this country,” she added. “They are paying into the system without knowing if they will ever get anything back at this point.” Guzman said she’s concerned too many people believe – wrongly – that non-citizen immigrants are eligible for many of the benefits Americans take for granted, including the ability to get a driver’s license, pay in-state tuition and receive Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits. Guzman said she’s especially troubled that some perpetuate the “myth” that recent Democratic wins in Virginia were fueled by immigrants casting illegal ballots. “It’s just ignorance, and I’m just sick and tired of that ignorance,” Guzman said. “I want to bring to people’s attention the realities of those issues, and I [intend] to fill the gap of that misinformation.” Guzman said she understands the immigrant struggle of having to “prove themselves” no matter what their line of work. “I’m glad that the Democratic Party has acknowledged that we are here, that we are the largest minority in this country,” Guzman said. “I will be a voice to let people know what are our values are; what are we fighting for; and that we will continue the fight.” Guzman said she further hopes her speech will inspire fellow immigrants to get involved in the electoral process. “I don’t have enough words to provide about how important it is to me to empower my community,” she added. “We have to prove to our people that we have the power to elect people who care about us, if only we get out and vote.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Local Dems’ new executive director has a goal: ‘Win everything’ By Jill Palermo

Times sTaff WriTer

It’s no secret Prince William County Democrats had a good year in 2017. Gov. Ralph Northam won the county with 61 percent of the vote, and seven of the county’s eight House of Delegate seats are now held by Democrats. But what’s less discussed is just how big the 2017 win was compared to previous statewide elections. Northam won Prince William by nearly 10 percentage points more than the 51-percent share of the local vote Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) won in 2013 and by about 4 points more than the 57-percent share Democrat Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Also, less well known is that local Democrats achieved the high-watermark victory with the help of their first-ever, full-time, paid executive director. David Pala, 27, is a Centreville native and a former political director for New Virginia Majority. The Prince William County Democratic Committee quietly hired him last August to lead the local party’s effort to drive turnout last November with an eye toward flipping local delegate seats and delivering big wins for Democrats’ local and statewide candidates. Prince William is only the second local party organization in Virginia to be led by a paid, full-time director. Pala says he was as surprised as anyone by the size of the 2017 wins and won’t take credit for them, insisting instead that Prince William’s hard-working local delegate candidates made the difference along with the support of local Indivisible groups and new nationwide partners, such as Flippable, Sister District, Run for Something and others. But Pala admits he helped organize a more effective ground game for local Dems last fall and says he’ll build on that in 2018. Short-term goals include doubling the local party’s membership, recruiting candidates for the May town elections (in Dumfries, Quantico, Occoquan and Haymarket) and keeping volunteers engaged by registering new voters and energizing them ahead of the November election. And while the party is most focused now on re-electing Sen. Tim Kaine (D) and unseating Republican Reps. Rob Wittman, R-1st, and Barbara Comstock, R-10th, in 2018, Pala said local Democrats also have their sights trained on 2019 and the opportunity to take on their biggest local nemesis: Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart (R). Stewart, however, is also blessing for the local Democratic Party, Pala said, in that he provides “a tremendous amount of ammo.” “I mean, he is Prince William’s Donald Trump,” Pala said of Stewart. “He holds all the same positions. He waves the flag for him. He’s gone to a white-supremacist march. … He campaigned in Alabama for Roy Moore.”

In the months leading up to the June 2017 gubernatorial primary, which Stewart lost to Republican Ed Gillespie, Stewart loudly defended the David Pala state’s Confederate monuments and, in February 2017, rallied alongside Jason Kessler at the Robert E. Lee memorial statue in Charlottesville. Kessler, a white-nationalist blogger, was an organizer of the August Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville that resulted in the deaths of

counter-protester Heather Heyer and Virginia State Trooper Berke Bates, a native of Nokesville. Kessler has since pled guilty to assault charges and has been indicted for felony perjury in connection with that rally. Still, Stewart won a third term at the helm of Prince William County government in 2015 with 56 percent of the vote. Also, the board of supervisors remained in GOP control, with Republicans remaining in five of the seven magisterial seats. Pala says 2019 will be different because Democrats will run candidates in all seven magisterial districts as well as the chairman’s race. (They contested only the chairman-

ship and the Occoquan and Potomac seats in 2015.) “I want to win everything,” Pala added. “I want to take the majority on the board of supervisors. I want to hold onto the majority on the school board. My goal is to win every single magisterial district because the numbers are there for us and that’s how we’re going to look at it.” Pala said the party will aim to drive up turnout in Democratic strongholds in eastern precincts and turn out more Democratic voters in more traditionally Republican precincts, mostly on the west end.

Stay awhile and make a difference By Roger Snyder Public service can range from a true calling of long duration to simply a short-term job in a bumpy career. Within the past two years, two long-time Prince William County employees have earned promotions and two others have earned retirement. Interestingly, three of the four individuals began their 30-plus year commitments in the county planning office in the mid-1980s. Tom Blaser retired in June 2016 as the county’s first transportation director. Tom was hired as a transportation planner in 1985 when the planning office included planning, zoning, transportation, the commuter bus program, ridesharing, the print shop, demographics and mapping. Yes, all that under one umbrella. Blaser earned several promotions during his 31-year public service career and ran the transportation department with a quiet, unassuming leadership that earned respect in both public and private circles. Lisa Fink-Butler was promoted to the difficult and stressful job as zoning administrator late in 2015. Her 34-year career began in 1983 when she joined

GUEST OPINION the planning office as an entry-level clerk typist just out of high school. Obviously, there have been many promotions on her career ladder, each earned by a superb work ethic coupled with a practical and fair application of planning principles and zoning law. Susan Roltsch joined the planning office in 1986 and earned the promotion to a deputy county executive position where she served under four county executives and as acting county executive during one search for a new CXO. By choice, she never sought the top spot, preferring instead to serve at the deputy level with commitment and compassion. There was widespread respect for her throughout the county. She retired in November 2016 after a 30-year career with Prince William

County. Planning Director Chris Price was promoted to replace her in November 2016 and Rebecca Horner was promoted to replace Chris as planning director in February 2017. Planning positions exist to prepare and offer professional recommendations, but board of supervisors and community acceptance of such proffered advice is gained in no small part by the credibility of the planner. That often takes years to earn. As each of the above exemplary employees was interviewed for their first Prince William County jobs more than 30 years ago, they were urged to “stay awhile and make a difference.” They did and they have. Barry Barnard was appointed Chief of Police in June 2016, marking the third chief in a row to be promoted from within. These internal promotions testify to the respect the police department has earned since being formed in 1970. Barry joined the relatively new department in 1976 as a patrol officer and has effectively served Prince William County for 41 years as it has grown from a population of 113,000 in 1970 to approximately 457,000 today. Other notable and well-deserved

promotions from within include Christopher Martino from deputy county executive to county executive in September 2016, Michelle Casciato from Director, Office of Management and Budget to deputy county executive in November 2016 and Rick Canizales from Planning Division Chief to Director of Transportation in August 2016. Of course, there are hundreds more dedicated public servants in county government and the school system. They too deserve recognition and thanks. Prince William County’s “farm system” (a baseball term) for building and maintaining a superb professional staff began in the mid-1970s under the dual leadership of Kathleen Seefeldt, chairman of the board of supervisors and Robert Noe, county executive. “Hire the best and let them grow” was Noe’s modus-operandi. That philosophy of staff investment has paid dividends many times over and is still rewarding the citizens of Prince William County today. Roger Snyder is a 35-year resident of Prince William County and served as the county’s planning director from 1980 to 1987.

Removing doctors from patient care team won’t improve health care

I appreciate the goal of making health care more accessible. As a general surgeon in Prince William and Stafford, that is goal all Virginia physicians share. One proposed solution, Virginia HB 793, seeks to remove physicians from the patient care team. Some view nurse practitioners practicing medicine independently will increase quality of care. I have been in practice for more than 24 years, and patients are best served when all

health care providers work together as a team. Education and training is at the heart of quality care. While family physicians have more than 10 years of educational experience, nurse practitioners have half. Most family physicians have 16,000 hours of supervised clinical patient care before practicing independently, nurse practitioners’ education requires just 6 percent of that. Doctors are made through education, not legislation. Nurse practitioners are valued members of the

care team, serving alongside therapists, nurses, physicians assistants, pharmacists, medical technicians and doctors to care for patients. Patients benefit from the expertise of their whole care team. Removing physicians from the patient care team will not improve the quality of Virginia’s health care. I encourage the General Assembly and the governor to adopt solutions to solve this problem, not create new ones.

Democrats have put forth so many bills in the General Assembly this session that concentrate on “equality” between the sexes. There is even one to ratify the long-dead Equal Rights Amendment. And yet, several bills completely contradict the idea of equality by focusing on special treatment for women. The most flagrant of these is HB 21, sponsored by Kaye Kory, which mandates that all health insurance policies cover all expenses related to our sexuality. This includes not only well-woman exams and preventive care, but every test, drug and treatment imaginable, including surgery for

sterilization, breastfeeding supplies, and other optional treatments. Under certain circumstances, it also mandates coverage for abortion services -- everything even tangentially related to female reproduction, except actually reproducing, since pregnancy is omitted.. Despite the fact that such coverage makes it far more expensive to cover women than men, the insurance companies are prohibited from charging women more for all of these additional services, which will raise rates for everyone. And yet, the equivalent services for men are

not mandated, even though men participate in the reproductive process. Wouldn’t such a law discriminate against men, and completely contradict the ERA? It declares us as victims who cannot take care of our physical needs, while men are capable of taking care of their own, (while also subsidizing our care), all while simultaneously attempting to pass the ERA, declaring us to be the equal of men. Are we equal, or do we require special treatment? It cannot possibly be both.

Morton Kondracke’s recent guest opinion (“Deporting ‘Dreamers’ would rival most shameful periods of U.S. history,” published Jan. 23 in the Fauquier Times) provides a compelling rationale for providing legal residence for the Dreamers. These residents were brought to the United States as children by parents who wanted them to grow up here. They were looking out for their children and, as parents, wanted the best for their children. As a result, most of them grew up in the United States, adapting to our language and values. Kondracke points to several mistakes that our nation made in our history that were unfair and immoral for a nation of our size and strength. The

immigrant children have, for the most part, grown up with a strong educational and work ethic. They have contributed mightily to our society and reflect the great economic and educational system that we have. Kondracke points out that President Trump tweeted that DACA should be updated and passed by the U.S. Congress. Once again, Trump failed to note that congressional representatives have made “deals” with the president to enable the Dreamers to eventually become citizens if Congress would appropriate funds for Trump’s great wall. Although most observers question the need for such a wall, congress promised to provide the funds. Each time, Trump backed out of his “deals”

apparently at the behest of two unelected advisors. There have been instances in our recent history that congress has passed comprehensive immigration reform, only to have the legislation defeated through the work of alt-right radio personalities. Hopefully congress and Trump can come together before March 5 to enact legislation to open our doors to these children who know only our nation as their home. Recent polls note that almost 80 percent of our citizens agree that the Dreamers should be accepted into the United States with a path to citizenship.

Are we equal, or in need of special protections?

dessert. If the thought of using an alternative flour is intimidating, start with something easy like pancakes using locally stone-ground organic rye flour from Locke’s Mill. 3. Floral flavors and edible flowers Flowers are pretty, and pretty powerful. You can now enjoy a variety of floral influences from rose-flavored everything, hibiscus teas, and elderflower in vinegar and kombucha. 4. Superfoods and super powders Mushrooms are one of the must-eat superfoods of 2018, as they are known to boost brain health. Try them as a broth or tea or sautéed in stir-fry. Super powder Matcha is a form of green tea packed with antioxidants and known to detoxify, boost metabolism, and enhance mood. Another super powder, Turmeric, is an ancient spice known for its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Try it in cooking or in teas and lemonade. 5.

February The Fauquier Community Theatre presents ‘DEATHTRAP’

Jumanji Drums Beat Once Again By Philip James

game where they are forced to beat all the levels before they lose the lives they are given and disappear forever. It’s a safe plot where the writers can work in jokes and sustain an ending where everything works out okay. Like most comedies these days it’s predictable, which is totally fine. They never claimed to be going for an Oscar. The performances were all as expected. Kevin Hart made fun of his height and screamed a lot. Dwayne Johnson was a big bulky guy with a soft heart, and Jack Black was… weird. He actually portrayed a girl trapped in a man’s body which was pretty amusing though I could have done without all the male “private part” jokes. I was never tempted to leave my seat, and I never dozed off so, overall, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” was enjoyable. Philip James is a junior at Liberty High School.

The original “Jumanji” movie is very near and dear to my heart. My entire family loves it, and there’s nothing better to do on a rainy day then sit down and watch this incredible film. When I first heard about “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” I was very worried. It made my heart sink that they would remake something as classic as the original. And to throw in actors such as Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black, really worried me. In my opinion, all three of these actors combined could never replace the great Robin Williams. But, I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied when I walked out of the movie theater. Most of the jokes were funny, the character arcs were believable, and the plot was decent and made sense. The film revolves around four troubled teens that meet in detention. They find themselves sucked into a video

Got a musician in your midst? Check our Brian Hubler and Musically Creative By Danica Low

H igHerPr@ gmail. com

Located in Fairfax, Prince William and now Vint Hill, Brian Hubler’s Musically Creative has finally made its way to Fauquier. Budget conscious families with budding musicians in their midst will be thrilled. Hubler launched Musically Creative in 2013 in order to offer group music classes at a discount and enable more families to participate in music education. He shares that this approach to music teaching is not just affordable, but unique and fun. “We offer professional music lessons for all ages,” says Hubler. “People can find great private instructors at any local music store. Ours are all group lessons at about a third of the cost of private lessons.” As one of five children, Hubler grew up in a musical family, took lessons from a young age, and enjoyed frequent family jam sessions. Hubler started playing the trumpet in elementary school and the French horn in middle school. While studying at James Madison University, from which he graduated with a degree in music education, he learned to play guitar. After a two year stint teaching music at Emmanuel Christian School, and eight years as a strings and band director in Fairfax County Public Schools, he became a church music and worship leader. “I love teaching beginning students and seeing the incredible progress they make over the first few years,” says Hubler. “It’s priceless to hear them play their first concert and then hear the difference when they play in a large group ensemble.”

“I love teaching beginning students and seeing the incredible progress they make over the first few years. It’s priceless to hear them play their first concert and then hear the difference when they play in a large group ensemble.” BRIAN HUBLER Musically Creative

Hubler’s background brings a unique second layer to his business. With a passion for worship, Hubler teaches worship keyboard

and worship vocal classes at Musically Creative, and his instructors offer worship guitar classes as well. Mainstream acoustic, electric and bass guitar classes; piano; pop vocals; woodwind, brass and percussion concert band; and strings classes are also offered. “When I mention ‘worship’ classes,” says Hubler, “I am referring to the classes that teach pop stylings using contemporary Christian music. I have a personal passion not only for regular music classes, but classes that will build musicians who’ll serve in their local churches.” Another way Musically Creative is able to keep prices down is by renting location space from various churches and schools only for the hours it offers classes. Hubler says he may seek a permanent storefront in the future, but for now, this model allows prices to remain low for his customers. “This way there are more opportunities for families to enjoy the gift of learning music,” Hubler explains. It was just this past fall that Musically Creative expanded into Fauquier County. It currently leases space at Covenant Christian School on Bludau Drive in Vint Hill. It offers 33 classes per week across Vint Hill, Prince William and the Town of Vienna. Anyone 7 and older can enroll. Musically Creative offers multi-family member discounts. Hubler says, “If it’s on your bucket list and you thought you were too old to learn an instrument, that’s not the case at all. We love to see parents take classes with their kids, and for families to learn together.” For more information visit MusicallyCreative.com.

Patriot wins as district race amps up

Led by Onwuka, Pioneer boys basketball edges Bobcats, 65-60 By Jeff Malmgren

Cedar Run standings

Times sTaff WriTer

The Patriot Pioneers used their fast-forward button Friday to beat Battlefield. It’s otherwise known as Ike Onwuka. The senior point guard twice sped up the court late in the fourth quarter, seemingly in a split-second each time, to create a pair of field goals that gave Patriot the lead for good en route to a 65-60 win over Battlefield at home in Nokesville. The Bobcats led by a few points most of the game, but Onwuka’s speed proved fatal in the final three minutes for a Battlefield team previously undefeated in Cedar Run District play. “He’s probably the fastest kid I’ve coached against in the four years that I’ve been at Battlefield,” Bobcats coach Randall Bills said. “He showcased it tonight late in the game when everybody else was tired.” With about 2 minutes, 50 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Brayden Gault made a put-back layup to give Battlefield a 56-54 lead. But Onwuka immediately grabbed the inbound pass and quickly sprinted to the opposite basket for a tying layup. The Pioneers never trailed again en route to ending an 11-game losing streak against Battlefield. “He’s the fastest guy in the school,” said Patriot senior Drake Marshall, who scored a game-high 21 points. “It’s a really big asset. … We can just beat [any team] with Ike’s speed.” With the score tied, 56-56, Marshall made a pair of free throws and Battlefield’s chance to respond ended with an Onwuka defensive rebound. The point guard wasted no time dribbling over the half-court line before passing to Jay Villani for a clinching layup. So Patriot took the lead in the district standings with a 4-1 record (135 overall after a 57-56 win Saturday over Oscar Smith) while Battlefield

than all the rest in school history.” Marshall agreed. “We want to win the state championship,” he said. “It’s realistic. We work really hard.” Contending for the Class 6 state title

By Josh Dorsey

The Battlefield ice hockey team got hat tricks from senior Cameron Ramos and freshman Sean Hoffman and held off a furious surge by Fauquier/Highland to win 6-4 at the Haymarket Iceplex. The Bobcats improved to 5-3 and posted the first of their three wins needed to secure a playoff spot. A first-year program, Fauquier/ Highland is 3-4-1. “This is huge. Right now we control our own destiny,”

said Battlefield coach Dave Ramos. “If we win out we should get a decent playoff seed. The next two games are all in our hands and they are all divisional games.” Coming off three straight losses, Battlefield got the start it needed just 13 seconds in when Cameron Ramos put his opening shot between the pipes, then scored again to make it 2-0. Hoffman put in a rebound with 58 seconds left in the opening period for a 3-0 lead. The freshman made it 4-0 to

open the second period. It became 5-0 when Ramos earned a penalty shot after being taken down from behind, and deked goalie John Medica for this third goal. But Fauquier/Highland scored four in a row to make it 5-4 on a shot by Zachary Heroux. Cue Hoffman. Firing out of the corner, Hoffman put a shot on net and continued pursuit to find his own rebound and secure the Battlefield victory. “The third one I just had to put my own shot back in

appears to be a legitimate possibility for most Cedar Run teams. Little seems to separate the district’s top four teams with Patriot beating Battlefield, which defeated Stonewall Jackson, which beat Osbourn, which defeated Patriot. “Anybody can beat anybody on any night,” Bills said. “I truly believe that. … You’ve got to bring it every night if you want to walk away No. 1 out of this conference.” Patriot fell behind Friday by the end of the first quarter, 12-8, and the Bobcats didn’t trail by more than two over the next three quarters until the final minute of the game. “But we already knew we had the game in the bag even though we were down,” Onwuka said. “We just always believed in ourselves because we knew the work that we put in every day … wasn’t going to go to waste.” Patriot’s confidence received a boost from the Bobcats’ inability to take a lead larger than 46-40. “Six points is nothing to us,” Marshall said. “We’re good at playing with stress.” As proof, Marshall scored 16 points in the second half. “I wasn’t shocked,” Onwuka said. “I mean, he’s done it before.” Marshall also had nine rebounds, two steals and two assists Friday, while Onwuka had 13 points, nine rebounds and three assists. Jay Villani added eight points and five rebounds while Devon Parrish had eight points and four rebounds. For Battlefield, Gault had 17 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Julian Washington finished with 13 points, while Will Bounds had nine and Grant Yates had eight.

after I came out of the corner,” Hoffman said. The Bobcats’ final two games come against the teams they are battling with for a playoff berth, Kettle Run and Patriot. Meanwhile, Fauquier/ Highland is unable to partic-

ipate in postseason play due to the combined format of the team, but showed growth. “We are a first year varsity team,” Roteman said. “Anytime you have an opportunity when you go down big and you are able to rally back it is a learning experience.”

NEWS

Local Dems’ new executive director has a goal: ‘Win everything’ PALA, from Page 9 “We are going to have strong Democratic candidates contesting every seat,” Pala said. “So that is going to both close the gap in the west, because people will have something to vote for, and run up the score in the east in places like Occoquan and Potomac, where we still need to pick up those BOCS seats.” Who will run for the board of supervisors in 2019? Pala said he can’t name names but said “several” people are interested and are expected to begin making announcements “in the next few weeks.” “There’s going to be several primaries, and probably the most crowded one is going to be for the chairmanship,” Pala added. “People smell blood in the water. People know it’s vulnerable.” Elections aside, Pala said his main goal as the Prince William Democratic Committee’s new executive director is “to bring more unity to the party,” by involving a greater diversity of local left-leaning groups and by recruiting a more diverse slate of local candidates. “Right now, we’ve got eight white [supervisors] in one of the most diverse counties in the country,” he added, noting Prince William has never elected a black or Hispanic supervisor. “I’m looking forward, in 2019, to making Prince William a more just place on all fronts.” For more information: www.pwcdems.org Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com
