‘Almost unheard of’
Twenty vie for interim school board chairman seat By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County school officials released the names and resumes Monday of 20 candidates vying for a rare opportunity to serve at the helm of the board overseeing the second-largest school division in Virginia. They include three former school board members, an FBI accountant, an eye surgeon, a retired judge, a custom-cake baker, a music teacher, a retired school psychologist, a hardware-store owner, an attorney, three former military officers, the “recess mom” and an 18-year-old high school senior who is homeschooled.
Despite their diverse backgrounds, all say they have a stake in Prince William County schools. But the number of candidates vying for the seat – 20 – is “almost unheard of,” said Don Richardson, a Haymarket IT specialist who spent 10 years as the Gainesville District representative on the school board, from 2001 to 2011, and has also applied to return as its interim chairman. During Richardson’s tenure, vacancies drew about six candidates at most, he said. Still, Richardson called it “good news” that so many Prince William County residents want to serve the school division. By law, the school board must
appoint an interim chairman within 45 days of the March 7 resignation of former At-Large Chairman Ryan Sawyers. The board will hold a public hearing April 4 to allow candidates to address the school board and the public. The event will be held at 7 p.m. at the Edward L. Kelly Leadership Center, 14715 Bristow Road, Manassas. The school board will vote to fill the vacancy during their regular meeting on Wednesday, April 18. The interim chairman will serve eight months, until the end of 2018, when he or she will be replaced by the winner of a special election, More than 300 students participated in a March 14 walkout at Patriot High School, where students left their classrooms and gathered at the football field.

scheduled to coincide with the Nov. 6 general election, to fill the remaining year of Sawyers’ four-year term. The school board chairmanship will be up for re-election again in November 2019. Here’s a bit about each applicant: Lucy Beauchamp, of Manassas, served a total of 16 years on the Prince William County School Board, including 14 as chair. Since leaving the school board in 2007, she has served on the board of Prince William County schools’ Career and Technical Education Foundation, serving as its president for last five years.

School board adds $3.5 million for school security, social workers, counselors By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William County School Board will spend more than $2 million in the coming months to better secure school buildings and hire more social workers and guidance counselors to help struggling students, decisions made hours after hundreds of students walked out of
schools March 14 as part of a nationwide protest against gun violence. School board members made no mention of the walkout protests during their five-hour budget “markup session,” but there’s little doubt community concerns about school safety had some effect as the board voted to add a total of $3.5 million in new spending to the $1.19 billion budget Superintendent Steven Walts INSIDE Calendar....................................ONLINE Classifieds...........................................16 News....................................................2 Obituaries...........................................11
proposed last month. School Board member Justin Wilk (Potomac) said he became convinced of the need for more school counselors and social workers during a recent student town hall meeting at Forest Park High School, held in the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shootings. Students there talked of the need for more mental-health support and bet-

ter school security. “I knew we needed to make safety and mental health a priority,” Wilk said in an interview after the vote. Wilk (Potomac) and Alyson Satterwhite (Gainesville) made motions to bolster the ranks of the school counselors and social workers who work with the county’s 90,000 students. See SCHOOL BOARD, Page 5

BRIEFS New immersive exhibit opens at Manassas Museum
A new immersive exhibit has opened at the Manassas Museum. “Annie’s Porch: This Was Manassas” spotlights the universal storytelling tradition of talking on the front porch with friends. The exhibit is part of a larger update to the museum’s permanent gallery. Inside the exhibit, visitors can listen to stories about Manassas during the Civil War and World War II eras and stories about the nationally-known Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth, formed in 1894. Local actors, including Dylan Pritchett, a professional storyteller familiar to Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello and Jamestown visitors, recently recorded the stories that were drawn from first-person accounts. Telephone-like devices tell stories that may have been shared in this tradition, and more stories will be added in the future. Named for the late Ann Harrover Thomas, the exhibit honors the way the former museum volunteer and board member shaped the civic life of her community – storytelling on the enclosed porch of her Manassas home. In addition to the construction of the Annie’s Porch exhibit, the museum updated other displays in the permanent gallery. Additions include an expanded exhibit on the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth and its founder Jennie Dean, a display on the development of Manassas, a new display on sports and entertainment in

Curator Mary Helen Dellinger called the new additions “a stunning new look that features images, objects and stories from our collection that we have wanted to share for a long time. We knew that adding the Annie’s Porch exhibit would allow for a re-evaluation and re-configuration of the space around it. We took our time and got feedback from staff, volunteers and the community. The end result is something that everyone will enjoy.” Although the new exhibits mark the first major update to the museum’s permanent gallery, other displays are rotated through temporary exhibit space. “Artistic Expression,” featuring the art of students from Osbourn High School, is open through April 1. “Living the American Dream: Robert Portner, Immigrant Entrepreneur, Philanthropist” opens April 13, as does “Expanding Boundaries,” a look at the impact of the Manassas Boys and Girls Club.

Body found in car at Veterans Park ruled a homicide A suspicious death involving a burning car found in Veterans Park is being investigated as a homicide, Prince William County police say. Police were alerted to the car fire at about 7:45 a.m. March 15 and found a body inside the car after ex-
tinguishing the blaze. The car was parked at Veterans Park, 14300 Veterans Drive, in Woodbridge. After an autopsy and preliminary investigation, law-enforcement agents are now investigating the victim’s manner of death as a
Early Sunday crash on Prince William Parkway kills 23-year-old man A 23-year-old man was killed in a two-car crash on Prince William Parkway early Sunday morning, according to Prince William County police. A 2000 Honda Civic was traveling westbound on the Prince William Parkway near Noble Pond Way at about 2:28 a.m. Sunday, when the driver lost control of the vehicle, which left the roadway, crossed the median and struck a 2016 Lexus GX460 traveling eastbound, according to a police press release. The driver of the Honda, identified as Jake Fred Merrit, 23, of Woodbridge, died at the scene, the press release said. Three occupants in the Lexus, identified as a 50-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman, and a 12-year-old male all of Springfield, were transported to an area hospital with minor injuries. Speed appears to be a factor in the crash, police said. The investigation continues, the press release said.

Stoney Police investigated reports of a missing juvenile from King George County and responded to a residence on the 14400 block of Belvedere Drive, in Woodbridge, at 6 p.m. Monday, March 12, Prince William police spokesman Nathan Probus said in a news release. As officers went to the front door a man later identified as Tyquan Bernard Stoney attempted to flee from the back door, police said. Officers detained him and located the missing 12-year-old girl inside the residence, Probus said. Detectives determined Stoney met the girl on the social media app Instagram, went to her residence in King George County on Monday and brought her to the residence on Belvedere Drive. During the encounter, Stoney “had an inappropriate relationship with the victim,” Probus said in the news release. Stoney, 20, was arrested and charged with two counts of rape, two counts of object sexual penetration, two counts of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of sodomy and two counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor. He was held without bond and has a pending court date.
homicide, according to a police press release. Due to the condition of the victim’s body, further DNA analysis will need to be completed to confirm an identity, the press release said. The cause of the victim’s death
and the fire continue to be investigated by the police department’s homicide unit and the Prince William County Department of Fire & Rescue’s fire marshal’s office. The case is Prince William County’s first homicide of 2018.
Across the county, students join nationwide ‘walk out’ against gun violence By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
They walked onto football fields and into auditoriums. They read the names of the dead, chanted slogans, or stood silently in the windy, 30-degree sunshine. In at least one high school, they wrote postcards to their elected officials. That was the scene at several of Prince William County’s middle and high schools March 14, when hundreds of students joined nationwide demonstrations against gun violence to mark the one-month anniversary of the fatal shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. At Patriot High School, more than 300 students walked out of their classrooms and toward the Nokesville school’s football field at 10 a.m. Organizers arranged 17 backpacks in the bleachers, one for each life lost during the Feb. 14 Florida shooting, as student organizers read the victims’ names. Other student speakers took the bullhorn to talk about how Patriot students could remain engaged in the political fight against gun violence by registering to vote and sharing their views with their elected officials. “It’s basically about making sure this never happens again,” said Olivia Mumma, a Patriot High School senior. “This is real. This could happen to us, and we need to stop it.” It was the second such walkout that Mumma and her friend, Megan Black, also a senior, had organized since the Douglas High School shooting. The two have also launched a student advocacy group, SOS, or Save Our Students, and have arranged for a chartered bus to take students to Washington, D.C. for the larger protest planned for this Saturday.
At Forest Park High School near Dumfries, students took a different tack. Instead of walking outside, which their administrators asked them not to do, they headed to the school auditorium, where they spent about 20 minutes writing letters to elected officials about their concerns about school safety and the scourge of school shootings. As was the case across the county, students had to organize and publicize the events entirely on their own, without help from teachers or administrators or even the public-address system. Organizer Charlie Westhoff, a senior, said he was excited to see students streaming out of their classrooms and into the hallways, nearly filling the school’s auditorium. “I was really nice to see so many people show up,” he said. “It felt really good to see that so many people cared.” Forest Park’s organizers also used the day to create a tangible show of support for their peers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High by creating an orange banner on which students signed their names and penned quick notes of encouragement. The activities came after a few unsettling days at Forest Park. Someone left threatening messages scrawled on a bathroom wall and appeared to hack into the school’s online calendar. Many Forest Park students stayed home school on Monday, March 12, leaving the school feeling empty and “ominous,” Westhoff said, even though the day went on without incident. “It doesn’t feel like there’s a sense of fear going on in the building anymore,” he added. “After people came back into the building, it felt a lot better.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com.
Documentary about local opioid crisis set for March 24 The FBI-produced documentary, “Chasing the Dragon: The Life of an Opiate Addict,” which features residents of Prince William County struggling with opioid addiction, will be presented Saturday, March 24, at the Bungalow Ale House in Woodbridge. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at the Potomac Mills-area restaurant, at 2840 Prince William Parkway, Woodbridge. The event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of the Prince William Area and will include a discussion, held after the screening, led by Heather Martinsen, supervisor of behavioral health wellness for the Prince William County Community Services-New Horizons, and Chrissy Fauls, founder of “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child, We’re Bringing that Village Back” and “WHY? Our Kids are WHY!” The screening and discussion is open to the public. Attendees have the option of staying for lunch after the program. Seating is somewhat limited, however, so please RSVP to iklrbelarsen@comcast.net.

‘Almost unheard of’: Twenty vie for interim school board chairman seat CHAIRMAN, from Page 1 Kristi Black, of Bristow, is a mother of four, owner of a small baking business that creates custom cakes and a longtime parent volunteer who earned a bachelor’s degree in human resource management and accounting. She has six years of experience coordinating community fundraisers and events and is a member of Prince William County Democratic Committee, according to her resume and application. Shawn Brann, of Bristow, is a former Woodbridge Senior High School English teacher who is now a senior editor with a defense contractor. Brann has two children enrolled in Prince William schools and recently served about a year on the school board as a temporary replacement for Brentsville Representative Gil Trenum, who spent a year Africa with the U.S. Naval Reserves. Brann said he would not run for the seat in November. Justin Caron, of Woodbridge, is the father of two daughters who attend Mary G. Porter Traditional School and one son who has special needs and has a private-school placement through the school division. Caron has lived in Prince William County for almost 10 years, is vice president of executive education for the Manufacturers Alliance and serves as chairman of Prince William County Schools’ Special
Education Advisory Council, an appointed board made up of parents of special-needs students. Langston Carter, of Woodbridge, is an 18-year-old high-school senior who has been homeschooled since 10th grade. Carter said he saw many of the school division’s shortcomings as a student at Woodbridge Senior High School, most notably that his advance-placement classes included few fellow black students, which he said is one of his main areas of concern. Carter said he is running to bring a student’s perspective to the board. Doreen Dauer, of Woodbridge, is a mother of five and a former school psychologist who supervised the school division’s student assistance and prevention programs from 2005 through 2017. In that job, she coordinated, wrote and supervised a bullying prevention grant through VCU and developed the “Signs of Suicide” program for students. Victor Gaither, of Haymarket, is one of three members of the school division’s infrastructure task force who have applied for the interim chairman’s seat. The task force is an appointed committee that has been investigating the facility differences among school buildings of varying ages across the county. Gaither is an executive in the telecom industry who has two children, one in middle and one in high school. John Gray, is a Lake Ridge accountant and former U.S. Ma-
rine who most recently ran for the school board in 2015 as the Republican-backed candidate in the Occoquan District. Gray said he would pursue the school board chairmanship in November and would run again in 2019. Gray said the school division must find a long-term solution to classroom overcrowding; raise test scores at low-performing schools; and improve its special-education programs. John Kribbs, of Woodbridge, retired from the U.S. Army after serving 24 years and now works for Army cyber command. He is the father of boys enrolled at Porter Traditional School and Osbourn Park High School. Kribbs has coached youth basketball and served on the principal’s advisory council at Porter. His wife is an assistant principal. Barbara Larrimore, of Lake Ridge, is a mother of three who helped lead a successful effort to change Virginia law to allow recess to be counted as instructional time. Known as “the recess mom,” Larrimore has been advocating for Prince William schools to extend their standard 15-minute recess limit for more than a year. Babur Lateef, of Manassas, is an ophthalmologist, eye surgeon and father of four, who is perhaps best known for his unsuccessful 2011 bid against Corey Stewart, the at-large Republican chairman of the Prince William Board of Supervisors. La-
teef was appointed by Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) to the University of Virginia Board of Visitors; is on the faculty of George Washington University; serves on the board of directors for SPARK, the school division’s nonprofit foundation; and is a member of the parent -teacher organizations at all three of his children’s schools. Sarah Pitkin, of Manassas, is a former special-education teacher who earned her doctorate degree in speech pathology after being a member of the first graduating class at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. Pitkin runs two of her family’s Ace hardware stores, located in Dale City and Woodbine, and is also on the board of the Potomac Health Foundation, the Arc of Greater Prince William and Didlake. She has four children who attend Prince William schools. Kevin Raymond, of Woodbridge, is also a member of the infrastructure task force and a father or four adult children who attended Prince William County schools. Raymond retired from a career with the Federal Reserve and has served on the Prince William County Social Services Board for seven years. Raymond worked as a substitute teacher for two years and volunteered on campaigns to pass a meals tax to raise money for schools in the mid-‘90s. See CHAIRMAN, Page 11

School board adds $3.5 million for school security, social workers, counselors SCHOOL BOARD, from Page 1 In a separate motion, the school board voted to spend $1 million of about $7 million leftover from this school year to make security upgrades to schools across the division. The board did not share details about which schools lack some of the features added in recent years to make schools more secure – such as front-door buzzers – but said at least 33 elementary schools would benefit from the upgrades. Satterwhite asked for 12 additional social workers, while Wilk initially asked for 12 additional guidance counselors. The board settled on adding 12 social workers and three guidance counselors at a total cost of more than $1.2 million. The school division currently has only 40 social workers, resulting in a ratio of one social worker to every 2,300 students. The Virginia Department of Education recommends one social worker for every 1,000 students. The suggestion drew support from even the board’s most conservative members. Satterwhite noted that Battlefield High School, which is in her district, has only one social worker serving nearly 3,000 students. “You’re talking about thousands of students and only one person to oversee those needs,” Satterwhite said. “The board should set a priority to add a significant number of social
workers, and I think this sets an important bar,” added Coles Representative Willie Deutsch. A group of school social workers attended the meeting and stood while the board discussed adding the positions. They clapped and cheered after the vote. “I can’t even put into words what this means,” said Betsy Young, supervisor of the school division’s social workers. Young said the social workers deal with the most vulnerable students, including those with complex mental health needs and victims of physical and sexual abuse. The move will also allow the school division to retain a social worker position that focuses solely on human-trafficking, an effort that has identified 200 student victims of trafficking schemes over the last five years. The effort has been funded by a grant that was set to expire next school year. “We need to be working with these kids,” Young said. “This will help us do that and to get kids the services and help that they need in the community, and then to be able to monitor it to make sure it’s happening.” Other additions tentatively approved during the work session included: • $1.5 million to add an artificial turf field at Woodbridge Senior High School. That’s in addition
to the $1.5 million Walts had already slated to build a turf field at Stonewall Jackson High School. Woodbridge Senior High parents and students have lobbied the school board for months to improve their football field, which they say is unsafe because of its uneven surface and poor drainage. The addition means a total of six Prince William high schools will have turf fields: Patriot, Colgan, Potomac, Freedom, Stonewall Jackson and Woodbridge. • $400,000 to effectively raise the starting salary for bus drivers to $18.21 an hour. That’s a boost of about $1.50 an hour and is hoped to help the school division recruit bus drivers, an ongoing challenge. • An “ombudsman” position to handle complaints from both staff and parents who would report directly to the school board. School Board member Gil Trenum (Brentsville) suggested the addition, noting that the school-division has “trust issues” with community members regarding unresolved school and workplace issues.
‘COLA’ increase for staff fails to win support
One high-profile item that did not make it into the school board budget was a proposed 2-percent costof-living increase for teachers and staff. A group of teachers has been
lobbying the school board for the addition in recent weeks. Walts’ budget already includes a “step” pay increase for teachers, which will allow them to move forward on the teacher pay scale in conjunction with their years of experience, resulting in an average raise of 2.7 percent. But teachers have been lobbying for an extra 2-percent bump to remain competitive with teacher raises being offered in competing jurisdictions, such as Loudoun and Fairfax counties. Loudoun is proposing a 5.4-percent raise for teachers next year, while Fairfax has a 6.23-percent pay bump in the works, according to research compiled by the Prince William school division. Wilk suggested the school division add a 1-percent COLA raise, which was estimated to cost about $7 million. Trenum seconded the motion. But in the end, the move died in a 6-to-1 vote with only Wilk voting in favor of the move. The school board will hold a public hearing on the budget Wednesday, March 21, at 7 p.m. in the Edward L. Kelly Leadership Center. A final vote on the budget is scheduled for later that night. The school board will then present its budget to the Prince William Board of Supervisors in April.

We need to hear our students Hundreds of students at the area’s middle and high schools joined nationwide demonstrations against gun violence March 14 to mark the one-month anniversary of the fatal shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Organized by students, the walkouts gave voice to the concerns and fears of those students about gun violence in our schools, in all schools. Lest we forget, those fears have become tangible in recent weeks as Prince William school officials have tackled a series of threats at county schools. So far, more than a dozen students have been arrested and the threats deemed “not credible.” But the incidents bring home the fears of students, parents, administrators and law-enforcement entities right in our own back yard. Some spoke. Some wrote postcards to representatives. Some signed banners to send to Parkland. All remembered the 17 fallen and stood in solidarity with the survivors, their families, and with each other against gun violence in our country. In the past, it was typical that school catastrophes like Parkland, and Columbine and Sandy Hook before it, stirred debate over gun violence,
access to weapons and mental health issues. As time passed, after the thoughts and prayers ebbed, the conversation left the public eye and retreated into the realm of activists on both sides. Those activists drew their lines in the sand and the conversation ended until the next tragedy. This time, students nationwide have kept the conversation going, and that in itself is to be commended. If we are to make progress on these issues, we must keep them foremost in our minds. These debates will not conclude quickly; there are many informed points of view to be explored on both sides. And that means that these same students will likely be tackling these issues as adults in the years to come. And that is another aspect of these protests that deserves recognition. In organizing and taking part in these functions, students took on the mantle of responsible citizenship in a democracy. Participants and student leaders – as well as teachers and administrators who helped safely facilitate, or, at least did not stand in the way of these walkouts – remained true to their mission of education. It could be easily argued that what students learned from their demonstrations was at least as important as

what they would have learned had they remained in their classrooms. There will always be those who shout down as uninformed those opinions that don’t coincide with their own. We see that with actors and athletes who use their platforms to make political statements, and we have seen that here as well, with commenters insisting students should stay in their classrooms or don’t know what they are talking about. That argument is misplaced here. “This is real. This could happen to us, and we need to stop it,” said
Olivia Mumma, a Patriot High School senior. “This can happen to any of us. Anytime. Anywhere,” said Fauquier High School junior Kenneth “Charlie” Mulliss. “We don’t feel safe, and people just don’t care,” said Fauquier High freshman Cameron Morris. What those students are talking about is fear. We need to hear that. We need to figure out how to make our children, our citizens, feel safe again. We need to stay engaged.

Gainesville/Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | March 21, 2018
On Medicaid expansion: ‘It’s about time.’ I don’t think Virginia has ever been this close to Medicaid expansion and I say, “It’s about time!” From the first, I heard cries of not trusting the federal government to continue to honor their word of supplying the promised dollars. That was $10.5 billion dollars that Virginia missed out on while 32 states and Washington, D.C. smiled all the way to the bank when they went to cash their Medicaid expansion checks. What are the positive effects of Virginia accepting Medicaid expansion? Medicaid is the primary funding source for individuals with disabilities, whether mental or physical, who need access to community-based care. This includes the concept of “aging in place.” It would give our residents the security of emergency and medical care, as well as behavioral-health services such as outpatient therapy, psychiatry and medication-management for mental illness. It would
provide dollars for preventive services, such as breast-cancer screenings and mammograms. Routine screenings on a consistent basis lead to earlier diagnosis, improving treatment options and outcomes and thus reducing the cost of care compared to later diagnosis. It will assist our residents who cannot afford or qualify for other insurance and would save on the hospital and medical-provider expenses we all pay anyway. It would provide support for 18,000 jobs in health care and generate $89 million in new state and local tax revenues in fiscal year 2020. This issue is not a game, although it seems to have been treated like one -- a game where the goal was to harm lives, not save them. Let’s start saving lives, working on our economy and finally choosing Medicaid expansion. Mary D. Lopez, Ph.D. Manassas

Virginia soon to offer new specialty license plates By Tianna Mosby
Capital News Service
Virginians are likely to see a handful of new specialty license plates this summer, including one aimed at those who support an end to gun violence. Del. Marcus Simon, D-53rd, sponsored the bill authorizing the plate with the legend “Stop Gun Violence.” House Bill 287, which bounced between the House and Senate before legislators reached an agreement, is waiting for Gov. Ralph Northam’s signature. Northam (D) has already signed into law specialty license plates for supporters of Virginia’s electric co-
BRIEF Expo helps those looking to buy or rent home
Those looking to buy or rent a home are invited to the Northern Virginia Housing Expo from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 24 at George Washington Middle School in Alexandria. The free event will have lenders, mortgage experts, government assistance officials, realtors and bank representatives on hand to help with the process. The expo will include dozens of exhibits highlighting home ownership and rental opportunities in Northern Virginia. Prince William County’s Community
operatives, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Virginia Future Farmers of America Association. Last year, the Virginia FFA Association was given the opportunity to have its own plate available for purchase if it could get 1,000 people to register for the plate by the end of the year. Although the organization did not receive enough applications for the plate, its members still have hope; Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-24th, proposed Senate Bill 446 to give the group another chance this year. “I look forward to having the FFA Commemorative License Plate on my car and seeing them on cars in our great commonwealth,” Scot Lilly, former chair of the state’s FFA
Association, said in a press release. During their 2018 session, legislators in Virginia considered 15 new specialty plate bills. The state Department of Motor Vehicles website already offers more than 310 choices. Beginning July 1, motorists can order the newly approved plates. The plates will then be permanently available if they reach the 1,000-plate registration minimum before the year ends. Specialty plates generally cost $25 above the regular vehicle registration fee. The DMV then gives $15 of that amount to the nonprofit group or cause associated with the plate. About 14 percent of Virginians have a specialty plate. Virginia offers four categories of plates — spe-
cial interest, college and university, military and other. Although the “other” classification has the fewest number of plate options, its scenic plate has led the past two years with 214,332 total purchases. Of the collegiate plates, Virginia Tech’s athletic “Go Hokies” plate is the most purchased with a total of 7,530 plates registered as of 2017. The General Assembly carried over until its 2019 session proposed specialty plates for Parents Against Bullying, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (focused on increasing the elk population and advocating for hunters), supporters of Virginia’s women veterans, and the American Legion, another veterans organization.
Planning and Development Division Chief Joan Duckett said workshops at the eighth annual expo will help people decide whether renting or buying is their best option. Credit counseling will be available, along with household finance advice to help with the decision making. Free workshops will include: “The ABCs of Credit Scores,” “Finding Rental Assistance,” “Home Sale Market Overview,” “Senior Housing Options,” “Maximizing Energy Efficiency,” “First-Time Buyer Programs,” “Household Budgeting and Finance,” “Condo 101” and others. “The workshops are going to provide information on programs for down payments, closing cost
assistance and the process of getting approved. They’re going to give information on what is required to buy a home, getting ready to buy a home and a lot more,” Duckett said. People thinking about buying a home will be able to talk to participating lenders to determine their best options. “These lenders will have the information there. They won’t actually approve them there, but they’ll do the pre-qualification,” Duckett said. Government officials at the expo will be on hand to talk about what programs are available across the region. “They will talk about which programs are opened or closed, if they have waiting lists and things like that,”
Duckett said. “They will also be talking about transitional housing. The rental portion is also going to give information on rental programs as far as jurisdictions that may have affordable dwelling units for rent.” The Northern Virginia Housing Expo is hosted by First Home Alliance in cooperation with the Alexandria and Falls Church, and Prince William, Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington counties.

Chinn Park library to close for renovations
Fresh carpeting and a remodeled storytime and children’s area are planned as part of renovation work that will close Chinn Park Regional Library for six weeks beginning April 23. The work will include redesigning computer workstations behind the information service desk so they are more accessible, closer to the children’s area for parents and caregivers and more accessible to staff when assistance is needed, according to Sandra Oliver, Chinn Park library administrator. The children’s area will also be reconfigured to allow additional seating for both adults and children and more floor space, creating an inviting space for families, parents and caregivers. In the storytime area, the room divider will be removed, meaning parents and caregivers will no longer have to stand or park strollers in the main part of the library. The existing Management and Government Information Center department will be made smaller to make room for a new meeting room with a conference table and chairs to accommodate four to six people. Also, the entire library will be re-carpeted. The library will be closed for the work from Monday, April 23, through Sunday, June 3. The branch will reopen Monday, June 4. The renovation project is being funded through proffer funds approved by the Prince William Board of Supervisors, Oliver said. Holds will be available for pickup at Potomac Community Library. The book drop will be unavailable, but materials can be returned to any branch location of the Prince William Public Library System. Book donations can be brought to Potomac Library or Montclair Community Library.

Stewart loses two weekend ‘straw polls’ for GOP senate nod By Jonathan Hunley Contributing Writer
Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, a candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, lost two straw polls over the weekend, including one close to home. Stewart, R-At Large, finished second to Del. Nick Freitas, of Culpeper, in a poll taken during the Prince William County Republican Committee’s Lincoln-Reagan Dinner held Saturday. Stewart was also bested by Freitas in what was almost a head-to-
head matchup at the Virginia Tea Party’s spring conference held over the weekend in Richmond. Neither Stewart nor Freitas, R-30th, Corey Stewart attended the local gathering, held at Heritage Hunt in Gainesville. Freitas was represented by his wife, Tina, while Stewart was represented by supporter Patty Lyman, a Fairfax attorney, according to D.J. Jordan, spokesman for the Prince William County Republican Committee.

Stewart couldn’t be immediately reached to comment. In the local poll of 141 Republicans, Freitas finished with 49 percent of the vote to Stewart’s 30.4 percent. E.W. Jackson, the 2013 GOP lieutenant governor nominee, received 7.8 percent of the vote, as did Bert Mizusawa, a former major general in the U.S. Army Reserves, who entered the race last month. Minerva Diaz, a Northern Virginia consultant and pastor, also won 5 percent of the local vote. At the Tea Party event in Richmond, Freitas took 65 percent of the
vote to 35 percent for Stewart. There was also one vote for Jackson in the poll of 217 people, said Tea Party Chairman Rick Buchanan. The Tea Party gathering also included a debate between Stewart and Freitas, an event that Buchanan said drew almost 300 attendees. The two hopefuls and their peers want to secure the Republican nod to face Virginia’s incumbent U.S. Senator, Tim Kaine, a Democrat who was Hillary Clinton’s vice-presidential nominee in 2016. The GOP primary is June 12.

BRIEF Comedian Jeff Allen will perform in Dumfries on April 14
Known for being funny without profanity, Jeff Allen’s career spans five decades. He can be heard on Sirius XM radio and has performed on every cable comedy show. He starred in his own one-hour TV special, “Happy Wife Happy Life” and has been featured on the Grand Ole Opry. Allen is a recipient of the Grady Nutt Humor Award, and has performed for the U.S. military in Bahrain as well as for the U.S. Navy men and women on board ships in both the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. This past October, he performed for U.S. troops stationed in Germany. Allen’s comedy was not always considered family-friendly. His career began at a comedy club in Chicago in 1978, and his path included drugs, alcoholism and rage, a
near divorce, personal bankruptcy and his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis. All the while, he would have to go out on stage each night and make people laugh with an act that Jeff Allen he admits was largely fueled by anger. In the early years, Jeff’s comedy included expletives. Then, he had a chance to work with Jerry Seinfeld who once told him, “Look, you’re a really funny guy and you’ve got this language that’s unnecessary. Why not do it without the four-letter words? Why be funny for 300 people when you can be funny for 300 million? Nobody ever walks out of a clean comedy show saying, ‘I wish he had been more dirty.’” It was in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings that Allen found himself reaching out
to God in desperation. That was in 1987, but Allen said it was nearly a decade later before he finally started to see truths about God revealed. The April 14 performance will be held at 7 p.m. at Grace Church, 1006 Williamstown Drive, Dumfries.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF TIME CRITICAL REMOVAL ACTION Munitions on the Exposed Shoreline at Munitions Response Site UXO 035 Lunga Reservoir Marine Corps Base Quantico, Quantico, Virginia The Department of the Navy and Marine Corps Base Quantico (MCBQ), in cooperation with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, are performing a Time-Critical Removal Action (TCRA) for munitions items detected along a portion of the shoreline of Lunga Reservoir located at MCBQ in Quantico, Virginia. Lunga Reservoir is identified as Munitions Response Site UXO 035. This TCRA is being conducted as part of the Department of the Navy’s Munitions Response Program, which addresses potential environmental health and safety hazards from past unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions, and munitions constituents. Lunga Reservoir is part of MCBQ’s Lunga Recreation Area; it is currently closed for recreational use due to munitions findings. MUNITIONS AT LUNGA RESERVOIR: Lunga Reservoir covers approximately 520 acres and is centrally located within the Guadalcanal Area of MCBQ, west of Interstate 95. UXO 035 lies within the firing fan of a former artillery and mortar range used from 1943 through the mid-1950s. UXO 035 has been identified for a TCRA for removal of munitions based on: (1) its location within the former range firing fan; (2) identification of surface and subsurface munitions along the shoreline during previous Munitions Response Program activities; and (3) Identification of metallic objects from an underwater survey previously conducted within the reservoir. These underwater metallic objects may be munitions items or may be other metallic objects. Approximately 800 munitions items have been recovered during other removal actions on land adjacent to Lunga Reservoir. TCRA: This TCRA involves removing and disposing of surface and potential subsurface munitions items from approximately 72 acres of the exposed shoreline in the eastern portion of UXO 035. The goal of the TCRA is to remove munitions items from the top 12 inches of soil and sediment across the entire exposed area, thereby mitigating the potential explosive hazard. The TCRA will be performed while the shoreline is exposed during low water levels within the reservoir. MCBQ will lower the water level by controlling water discharge using the Lunga Dam. None of the TCRA activities will be performed below the water line. Once the reservoir water level has been lowered to expose the shoreline, munitions response professionals will perform the following activities: 1. Surface Removal: Munitions-related items and small arms ammunition in addition to other metallic debris will be removed from the exposed shoreline/lake bed surface using handheld metal detectors. 2. Mapping of Subsurface Metallic Objects and Intrusive Investigation: A technique called digital geophysical mapping (DGM) will be used to identify and map metallic objects in the subsurface that may represent potential munitions items. An investigation will be conducted, in which munitions response professionals will dig up and remove all identified objects. In areas inaccessible for DGM, munitions response professionals will use handheld metal detectors to identify and dig up metallic objects. 3. Onsite Inspection, Destruction, and Offsite Disposal of Munitions Items: Munitions items with a known or potential explosive hazard will be destroyed by controlled, intentional detonation using sandbags to contain the explosive shock and debris. The items will be inspected to ensure there is no explosive hazard and then will be removed from the site for offsite recycling. The TCRA activities and associated documentation at UXO 035 began on February 19, 2018 and are anticipated to be completed by November 2018.

Potomac’s Yazmin Williams and Monica Reza watch Emilene Parham of Battlefield score in last week’s 9-0 Bobcat win. “The girls understand with our program that there is a standard that we try to achieve,” said coach Kevin Hilton, whose girls look well-positioned for another run at the Class 6 title.
BATTLEFIELD GIRLS SOCCER PREVIEW
STILL PLENTY OF SCRATCH IN BOBCATS’ CLAWS By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
In one of the toughest girls soccer regions in the country, the Battlefield Bobcats are usually left standing alone at the top. This year Battlefield’s powerful program takes on a new look after losing five starters to NCAA Division I programs and having nearly 15 talented girls selected to three nearby soccer academies. The Bobcats, ranked No. 1 in the nation for much of last year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, came up short of their fourth consecutive state title, losing to Madison 1-0 in the region quarterfinals. “I think it certainly is motivating,” said Battlefield coach Kevin Hilton. “They did not like the way the season ended last year and they believe that they can do better. We are in a tough region. The fact that we actually made it through that
region three years in a row is awesome.” The Bobcats are left with just two returning starters. In his 11th season at Battlefield, Hilton may have his toughest task as he moves players around, inserts new ones, and tries to continue a tradition of excellence. “We have a core of four girls who have been with the program for four years in Emilene Parham, Bianca Robson, Ana Elson and Mackenzie Kerns. We are going to lean on their experience to pull players up through their leadership,” Hilton said. Battlefield returns some top grade firepower in Parham, who was Battlefield’s third leading scorer last year and has averaged almost 20 goals a season for her career. “She is a pretty prolific goal scorer,” said Hilton. Jenna Daunt is being moved from outside back to midfield. Karter Corini will move into an attacking role. Parham and Corini both flashed their offensive expertise during the
Bobcats’ 9-0 opening win over Potomac. “It builds everyone’s confidence up for the rest of the season,” Corini said after the dominant win. “We will see some players who don’t usually shoot start shooting because they have picked up some goals early in the season, so that’s a good thing for the team.” Defensively, Hilton will rely on one of his most consistent and best known commodities, senior captain Mackenzie Kerns. Kerns anchors a back line helping protect sophomore goalkeeper Ashley Donohoe. Donohoe was promoted after starting for the JV in 2017. “She has improved quite a bit,” Hilton said of Donohoe. “She is very good with her feet and makes great reaction saves. She is long too. She is a pretty big presence in the goal.” Without the staple of Division I prospects, Hilton has tweaked his roster. “We are not sure where Ana
Elson is going to be playing primarily for us yet. She started in the back against Hylton but when we moved her forward she scored two goals, so we saw something. We are still trying to figure out roles,” Hilton said. Hilton is used to giving his players clearly defined roles, “but this year we are trying to play people at different positions and trying to figure out how the pieces we have are going to fit the best.” Battlefield’s program remains imposing, and that means everyone will be gunning for the Bobcats. “I think our girls are used to having a target on their back,” Hilton said. “Teams may sense that this is the year they could take down Battlefield. I think that is something our girls can use as motivation.” As a veteran Bobcat, Parham is excited the season is here. “As seniors we are trying to pass on what is special about playing for Battlefield,” she said.

Colgan baseball nips Bobcats, 6-5 By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
With five runs in the first inning, the Colgan Sharks held on to beat Battlefield, 6-5, Friday at home in Manassas. After Colgan took a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, the Bobcats scored twice in the top of the seventh, but they couldn’t complete the rally despite finishing the game with six hits to Colgan’s three. The Bobcats are 1-1 after a season-opening 6-4 win over Hylton. The Sharks are also 1-1 after season-opening 13-2 loss to Patriot. Brady Carter led Colgan with two RBIs and earned the save as a relief pitcher, while Nick Fontana drew two walks. Fontana also finished with nine strikeouts after throwing 5 1/3 innings as Colgan’s starting pitcher. Zach Agnos and Austin Estridge led Battlefield with two hits each. Agnos also finished with two RBIs, a home run and a double, and Casey Rosenthal had three RBIs and two stolen bases. As the Bobcats’ starting pitcher, Agnos took the loss despite amassing nine strikeouts while allowing six runs (four earned) on three hits and two walks over 4 2/3 innings.
Brentsville boys soccer falls to Liberty, 1-0
Javier Amaya’s goal in the first half Friday gave the Liberty Eagles a 1-0 boys soccer win over Brentsville in Bealeton. Liberty won its season-opening match while the Tigers’ record fell to 0-2 despite “excellent defense by Thomas Ruhstorfer and goalkeeping from Brian Rios,” Brentsville coach Matt Blesi said.

Brody Mack pitched a one-hitter as the Potomac Panthers baseball team shut out Stonewall Jackson 11-0 in five innings on March 15. A lefty, Mack struck out six Raiders and only allowed one hit on 58 total pitches, 43 of them strikes. “I went up there and threw strikes and I didn’t worry about throwing balls,” said Mack. “I trusted my defense and they did a good job behind me.” Potomac is now 3-0 as Mack shined again Monday with a walkoff single and two hitless innings of relief in a 5-4 win over Patriot. The Panthers opened the year with a 9-1 win over Osbourn 9-1 on March 13. Against Stonewall, Mack drove in the first run of the game on a first pitch single and went finished 1-for-2 with a walk. He’s hitting .800 after two games (4-for-5). Scrappy Cleveland and Jose Cumba both had two hits. Ryan Costello started for the Raiders and allowed six runs on four hits with four walks and a strikeout. Mitchell Breeding relieved Costello and pitched four innings, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks.

‘Almost unheard of’
Twenty vie for interim school board chairman seat By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County school officials released the names and resumes Monday of 20 candidates vying for a rare opportunity to serve at the helm of the board overseeing the second-largest school division in Virginia. They include three former school board members, an FBI accountant, an eye surgeon, a retired judge, a custom-cake baker, a music teacher, a retired school psychologist, a hardware-store owner, an attorney, three former military officers, the “recess mom” and an 18-year-old high school senior who is homeschooled.
Despite their diverse backgrounds, all say they have a stake in Prince William County schools. But the number of candidates vying for the seat – 20 – is “almost unheard of,” said Don Richardson, a Haymarket IT specialist who spent 10 years as the Gainesville District representative on the school board, from 2001 to 2011, and has also applied to return as its interim chairman. During Richardson’s tenure, vacancies drew about six candidates at most, he said. Still, Richardson called it “good news” that so many Prince William County residents want to serve the school division. By law, the school board must
appoint an interim chairman within 45 days of the March 7 resignation of former At-Large Chairman Ryan Sawyers. The board will hold a public hearing April 4 to allow candidates to address the school board and the public. The event will be held at 7 p.m. at the Edward L. Kelly Leadership Center, 14715 Bristow Road, Manassas. The school board will vote to fill the vacancy during their regular meeting on Wednesday, April 18. The interim chairman will serve eight months, until the end of 2018, when he or she will be replaced by the winner of a special election, More than 300 students participated in a March 14 walkout at Patriot High School, where students left their classrooms and gathered at the football field. Student Gavin Brown reads the names of some of the victims of the Feb. 14 shooting in Parkland, Florida. Read more on Page 3. PHOTO BY NATALIE RAUCH
scheduled to coincide with the Nov. 6 general election, to fill the remaining year of Sawyers’ four-year term. The school board chairmanship will be up for re-election again in November 2019. Here’s a bit about each applicant: Lucy Beauchamp, of Manassas, served a total of 16 years on the Prince William County School Board, including 14 as chair. Since leaving the school board in 2007, she has served on the board of Prince William County schools’ Career and Technical Education Foundation, serving as its president for last five years.

School board adds $3.5 million for school security, social workers, counselors By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William County School Board will spend more than $2 million in the coming months to better secure school buildings and hire more social workers and guidance counselors to help struggling students, decisions made hours after hundreds of students walked out of
schools March 14 as part of a nationwide protest against gun violence. School board members made no mention of the walkout protests during their five-hour budget “markup session,” but there’s little doubt community concerns about school safety had some effect as the board voted to add a total of $3.5 million in new spending to the $1.19 billion budget Superintendent Steven Walts INSIDE Calendar....................................ONLINE Classifieds...........................................16 News....................................................2 Obituaries...........................................11
proposed last month. School Board member Justin Wilk (Potomac) said he became convinced of the need for more school counselors and social workers during a recent student town hall meeting at Forest Park High School, held in the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shootings. Students there talked of the need for more mental-health support and bet-

ter school security. “I knew we needed to make safety and mental health a priority,” Wilk said in an interview after the vote. Wilk (Potomac) and Alyson Satterwhite (Gainesville) made motions to bolster the ranks of the school counselors and social workers who work with the county’s 90,000 students. See SCHOOL BOARD, Page 5
