Prince William lost 59 to fatal overdoses in 2017 Opioids ‘driving force’ among fatal overdoses across Virginia

By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer

Fatal drug overdoses remained the leading cause of unnatural death in Virginia in 2017, according a Virginia Department of Health report released this week.

Though 2017 numbers are not yet final, a state health department report released April 20 shows that 1,534 Virginians died of drug overdoses in 2017, up from 1,428 people in 2016.

At the time of the report, about 40 cases from 2017 remained open, awaiting additional reports to determine cause and manner of death.

According to the preliminary numbers, Prince William County had 59 overdose deaths in 2017, compared to 58 in 2016.

Manassas had 14 overdose deaths in 2017, up from seven in 2016; while Manassas Park had four overdose deaths in 2017, up from one in 2016.

In Fauquier County, there were 13 overdose deaths in 2017, down from

25 in 2016.

The Virginia Department of Health reports that fatal drug overdose has been the leading method of unnatural death in Virginia since 2015 and the leading method of accidental death since 2014.

Opioids continued to represent the largest percentage of fatal overdoses in Virginia in 2017.

Opioids accounted for 1,227 fatal overdoses in Virginia in 2017, up from 1,138 deaths in 2016.

In Prince William County, 49

overdose deaths were attributed to opioids in both 2017, the same number reported in 2016.

In Manassas, 12 overdose deaths were due to opioids in 2017, up from seven in 2016.

In Manassas Park there were four opioid overdose deaths in 2017, up from one in 2016.

In Fauquier County, there were 11 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2017, compared to 23 in 2016.

Dr. Babur Lateef, an ophthalmologist and father of four, was appointed interim chairman of the Prince William County School Board Wednes- Dr. Babur Lateef day in a party-line vote. All four Democratically endorsed members of the school board supported Lateef, while the three Republican-backed board members cast opposing votes.

Lateef, 46, was one of the first candidates to apply to take the helm of the school board in the wake of former Chairman Ryan Sawyers’ resignation March 7.

The pool of applicants would eventually grow to 20 -- including former School Board Chairwoman Lucy Beauchamp and former Gainesville School Board member Don Richardson. But Lateef was long considered a leading contender among the board’s four Democrats.

In a statement after the vote, Lateef called it is a “true honor to be selected” from the group of candidates.

Beware of invasive beetle that kills ash trees The emerald ash borer is an invasive beetle species that can kill an ash tree within several years if left untreated.

The pest, originally from eastern Russia, northern China, Japan, and Korea, is devastating ash trees across Prince William County, said Valerie Huelsman, a forest health specialist with the county’s Environmental Services Mosquito and Forest Pest Management Branch.

“It was first found here in 2010; and right now, it’s widespread around the county,” she said. “Basically, if you have an ash tree, you should be looking at it and deciding on a plan on how to deal with the beetle very soon.”

Symptoms of trees infested by the wood-boring, green beetle include die back of the branches, peeling bark and woodpecker damage since woodpeckers feed on the beetle’s larvae.

The larval stage causes the significant damage to the tree as it feeds on tissues under the bark. D-shaped holes, where adults exit the tree, also show that a tree is infested.

People can choose between several methods to treat their ash trees.

“They can do a tree injection treatment, basal spray, or soil drench,” Huelsman said. “There are a couple of different products available, so it’s best to talk to a certified

To help residents the defray the cost of the treatment, the Virginia Department of Forestry has a cost-sharing program.

“In counties where the presence of emerald ash borer has been confirmed, such as Prince William County, only trunk injection treatment will be cost-shared,” Huelsman said. “It will cover up to 50 percent of the treatment, if they get a certi-

A list of licensed companies who are certified to apply pesticides in the state is available at http://www. vdacs.virginia.gov/pdf/reports-busi-

Those interested in the cost-sharing program must apply and meet certain criteria to be approved.

For more information, visit http:// www.pwcgov.org/government/dept/ publicworks/Pages/Emerald%20 Ash%20Borer.aspx.

In order for the treatment to be most effective, trees need be at least 12 inches in diameter at 4.5 feet above the ground, and have 70 percent or more leaves remaining in the crown. Residents must also be willing to put in some effort to save their tree. “It has to be a tree that you’re willing to commit to continue to treat until the emerald ash borer population declines,” Huelsman said.

Those who suspect that they have ash trees that are infested can call Mosquito and Forest Pest Management at 703-792-6279 for help.

“We’re always glad to come out and confirm that they do have ash trees and that the emerald ash borer is present and give them advice on what their next steps can be,” Huelsman said.

County conducting community survey The Prince William County government is in the process of conducting the 2018 Community Survey, which will run through April 30.

The survey allows the county to gain insights on how residents feel about the quality of life in the county. This information is then used by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and various county departments to better understand the viewpoints and needs of county residents.

Issues & Answers, an independent global research firm, will conduct the survey under the Council of American Survey Research Organizations Code of Ethics. The firm will invite 1,600 potential participants, a statistically valid number of residents, randomly chosen from all Prince William County households.

Selecting random participants will allow Issues & Answers to get a thorough representation of county residents’ beliefs and experiences regarding county services and an accurate picture of their needs.

Those who are randomly selected will get a postcard in the mail with the directions on how to participate in the survey. The 12- to 18-minute survey, which can be done online or by phone in English, Spanish or other languages as needed, is confidential.

The county has been conducting surveys since 1993 when the surveys happened annually. The surveys were switched to a biennial occurrence in 2012.

State police helipad dedicated to Trooper Berke Bates Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and former Gov. Terry McAuliffe joined a crowd of more than 200 in Chesterfield County last week to formally dedicate a helipad at Virginia State Police administrative headquarters for Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates, a Nokesville native who was killed last August while monitoring the deadly white-nationalist protest in Charlottesville.

Northam and McAuliffe, along with Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian Moran and members of Bates’ family, unveiled the new sign that designates the helipad in Bates’ memory on Wednesday, April 18, according to a press release issued by the state police.

Day care worker charged with sexual assault An assistant teacher at a Bristow child care center was arrested on sexual assault charges after, police said, he touched several 5-year-olds inappropriately.

Detectives from the Prince William County Police Department’s Special Victims Bureau and the Department of Social Services began an investigation March 27 into an alleged sexual assault involving an assistant teacher at Minnieland Academy, 10368 Bristow Center Drive in Bristow, Prince William police spokesman Sgt. Jonathan Perok said in a news release.

The investigation found that the assistant teacher, identified as Taylor Keith Boykin, “inappropriately touched” a 5-year-old girl at the child care center on March 26.

The girl told a parent about the incident and the parent then notified the center, Perok said. The parent also reported the incident to Child Protective Services and a joint investigation with the police department and department of social services was launched, the news release said.

In the investigation, police identified three more victims, all 5 years old, Perok said in the news release.

All of the victims were sexually assaulted by the suspect sometime since March 2017, the police news release said.

Boykin, 27, of Aqua View Court in Nokesville, was arrested April 20 and charged with four counts of aggravated sexual battery, four counts of object sexual penetration and four counts of indecent liberties by a custodian.

Police look for man who bit, assaulted Manassas lingerie shop worker Prince William County police are searching for a man who allegedly bit and sexually assaulted a female employee at a Manassas lingerie boutique last week.

According to police, the man entered the Le Tache Couple’s Boutique, 10346 Portsmouth Road in the Manassas area, at about 8:45 p.m. on Monday, April 16. He approached a female employee who was standing behind a counter.

During the encounter, the man went behind the counter and bit the employee. When the victim pushed

“The Trooper-Pilot Berke Bates Helipad will serve as a lasting tribute to Berke’s incredible spirit and legacy as a public-safety professional, aviator, father, son, brother, and friend,” Col. Gary T. Settle, VSP superintendent said in the press release. “…We hope this Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates simple, but meaningful, tribute brings added and lasting comfort to his family, friends, and colleagues.”

Bates, 40, and the State Police Aviation Unit Commander, Lt. H. Jay Cullen III, became the de-

the suspect out from behind the counter, he began pacing around her then inappropriately touched her, according to a police department press release.

At some point, the man forced his way back behind the counter and attempted to lift up the victim’s skirt, the police report said.

The man eventually left the business when the victim contacted police.

Officers searched the area for the suspect who was not located. No injuries were reported.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man, about 5 feet 9 inches tall with a “heavy build,” weighing an estimated 200 pounds.

He was last seen wearing a black and gray sweatshirt with a hoodie, light gray shorts, and black and white shoes.

Anyone with information is urged to call police at 703-792-6500.

Police: Car stolen while owner changed baby’s diaper in the backseat A Woodbridge woman was arrested April 14 after she allegedly tried to steal another woman’s car as the victim changed her 3-month-old baby’s diaper in the backseat.

The victim, a 38-year-old woman, told police she was busy changing her infant’s diaper in the back seat of the car, which was parked on the 3300 block of Dry Power Circle, when an unknown woman got into the driver’s seat and drove away, according to Prince William County police.

The woman drove a short distance while the baby was still in the vehicle, but the victim managed to grab the baby from the vehicle and scream for help, a police press release said.

The accused eventually got out of the vehicle when confronted by a citizen who intervened.

The accused attempted to get into another vehicle in the area before eventually fleeing the area on foot.

When officers arrived, they identified the accused after finding her purse in the vehicle, the press release said.

Officers responded to the woman’s residence a short time later and detained her without incident.

Following the investigation, Kamyrn Ellyce Simpson, 29, of 3385 Dry Powder Circle, was arrested on Saturday, April 14, and charged with abduction, grand larceny and conspiracy, the press release said.

The department dedicated its Chesterfield Aviation Base and Headquarters in Cullen’s memory in February.

Bates was born in Manassas and graduated from Brentsville District Senior High School in Nokesville in 1994. He served as a trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol from 1998 until he joined the Virginia State Police in 2004.

The National Transportation Safety Board investigation into the fatal helicopter crash remains ongoing at this time, the press release said.

Townhouse fire displaces Woodbridge family Two adults and two children were displaced by a townhouse fire in Woodbridge Sunday night, fire and rescue officials said.

Firefighters responded to a fire on the 1800 block of Beegee Court just after 10:30 p.m. Sunday, Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue and Occoquan-Woodbridge Lorton Volunteer Fire Department officials said in news releases.

When firefighters responded, heavy fire was showing from the back of the townhouse, extending inside the house, fire officials said.

Crews extinguished the flames outside the home and worked to prevent the fire from spreading. The fire was under control within 50 minutes, fire officials said.

The fire damaged the siding of

both neighboring houses but did not spread further, the news release said.

Town residents go to the polls May 1 Despite crowded ballots, light turnout expected

By Jonathan Hunley and Jill Palermo

MAYORAL ELECTIONS

Times Staff Writers

Residents of Prince William County’s four incorporated towns will go to the polls to select mayors and town council members May 1, but the turnout is expected to be light – as usual.

“We are thinking around 10 percent,” Matthew Wilson, spokesman for the Prince William County Office of Elections, said in an email last week. “Some of the towns might be higher, but we are well prepared with ballots.”

About 10 percent is the norm for the May town elections in Prince William’s towns, which include Dumfries, Haymarket, Occoquan and Quantico. That’s expected to hold true despite a recent wave of political activism since President Donald Trump was elected in 2016.

That’s likely at least partly because the elections are nonpartisan.

Some of the candidates in the town elections identify with one political party or the other, but many do not.

As a result, their elections are typically low-key.

Wilson said he couldn’t speak to exactly why town elections have trouble turning out the vote.

“I will tell you, the ‘smaller’ the offices that appear on the ballot, the lower turnout figures are,” he said.

Still, the ballots for the town ballots are crowded this year. In all, 35 candidates are vying for 23 seats.

Dumfries

Two current town council members are vying for the mayor’s seat this year in the wake of Mayor Gerald Foreman’s announcement in January that he won’t seek re-election.

Councilman Derrick Wood is giving up his seat on the council to seek the mayor’s post. His opponent, Cliff Brewer, will remain on the council if Wood wins, as his term isn’t up until 2020.

Foreman endorsed Brewer, 60, in

Occoquan

Dumfries

Light turnout expected for town elections Prince William election officials are expecting only a 10 percent turnout in the May 1 town elections. Here’s the number of registered voters in each of the county’s four towns.

Steven Vonderheide

Earnie Porta

Cliff Brewer

Derrick Wood

Read about Haymarket’s candidates on Page 8 the contest, saying he has the experience for the job. Brewer said he is motivated by a lifelong concern for the town and wants to see it thrive.

He said his focus would be on economic development and keeping taxes low for residents and businesses.

Wood, 40, said he’s seeking the town’s top elected post to focus on community-building and relationship-building aimed at moving Dumfries to “the next level.” Wood pledges to work toward a more robust economy, better restaurant and shopping options and more opportunities for Dumfries’ families.

“People are tired of driving to D.C.; they’re tired of driving to Woodbridge, to Lorton or to Fairfax,” Wood said. “They want to do more things closer to home.”

Six candidates are running for three council seats at stake in the election, including Wood’s and that of Councilmember Gwen Washington, who isn’t seeking re-election. The candidates include Tyrone Brown, Selonia Miles, Cydny Neville, Monae Nickerson, James Turner and Brenda Via.

Occoquan

The Occoquan mayor’s seat is also up for grabs this year as Mayor Elizabeth Quist is moving from the town and not seeking re-election. Still, the race can be viewed as one of experi-

ence versus a new perspective.

Earnie Porta brings the experience, with eight years’ experience in the mayor’s seat, while Steven Vonderheide is a newcomer.

But, Vonderheide said, “I think sometimes a new view, a new perspective, is also good.”

The defense contractor wants to bring that to Town Hall along with his own experience in project management. Vonderheide has lived in Occoquan for 14 years and ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the town council in 2014 and 2016. If elected this time, he wants to see more office automation at Town Hall, perhaps with the town-car sticker distribution.

He said He’d also foster a better relationship between the town government and business owners, some of whom, he pointed out, spend more time in town than residents.

“I think we can still modernize some things, but I think what most residents are happy with is we’re not just another Northern Virginia suburb,” he said.

For example, could the town get a grant to get the old grist mill functioning again? Vonderheide wonders.

“I was down in North Carolina and saw a park with a grist mill some folks had restored,” he said.

Vonderheide also is concerned about new development in town, especially a project on the west end of Mill Street that would include about 15,000 square feet of retail or commercial space on the street level with condominiums above that.

That project also concerns Porta, who said he is running in part to see it through to a successful completion.

Porta said he’s also seeking to return to the mayor’s seat to focus on the Tanyard Hill property, which the town acquired a few years ago for park space but has not yet developed. He’d like to expand the use of the new River Mill Park and oversee the installation of a new, grant-funded kayak launch on the Occoquan Reservoir.

Town Registered Voters Dumfries 2,715 Haymarket 963 Occoquan 794 Quantico 336 In general, Porta said he’d like to see the recreational use of the waterfront expanded and enhanced.

In addition to the two mayoral candidates, eight candidates are vying for five seats on the town council this year.

Incumbent Councilman Jim Drakes is not seeking re-election, but his four peers are. They are: council members J. Matthew Dawson, Cindy Fithian, Joe McGuire and Patrick Sivigny. They are being challenged by four new candidates: Krystyna Bienia, Laurie Holloway, Eliot Perkins and Johnathan Torres.

The mayor and town council members serve two-year terms.

Quantico

In Quantico, Mayor Kevin Brown expects about 100 people to vote, as is usually the case in the town of about 500 residents.

The election there, however, stands to be a bit complicated because Councilman Jerre S. Thomas II, who was running for a second term, died April 13 after a motorcycle crash.

Because ballots had already been printed, Thomas’ name will remain on them. Brown expects that his former colleague likely will be among the five candidates who win in a field of seven hopefuls.

“He was a popular guy,” Brown said.

Thomas was a safe bet to be re-elected before his death, Brown said, and now some people are likely to choose his name as a kind of memorial.

If Thomas is one of the winners, the town council would appoint someone to fill his vacant seat, the mayor said, but it’s unclear if that interim appointment would be for the entirety of Thomas’ second term or until a special election could be held.

Brown has some competition for the mayor’s post. Peggy Lee Alexander is challenging his re-election.

Among the town councilmembers, incumbents Earlene Clinton, Tom Davis and Robin Langham are seeking re-election. They are challenged by newcomers Otis Baker, Sammoto Dabney and Russell “Rusty” Kuhns.

Prince William lost 59 to fatal overdoses in 2017

OPIOIDS, from Page 1

Statewide, opioids “have been the driving force behind the large increases in fatal overdoses since 2013,” the state health department report says.

The state report also notes that fentanyl caused or contributed to 770 deaths in Virginia in 2017, rep-

resenting more than 50 percent of all fatal overdoses in the state.

In 2016, fentanyl caused or contributed to 624 deaths.

In Prince William County, fentanyl caused or contributed to 25 deaths in 2017 and 33 deaths in 2016, according to the report.

Manassas had 10 fentanyl-related deaths in 2017, up from four in 2016,

while Manassas Park had one fentanyl-related death in both 2017 and 2016.

Fauquier County had eight fentanyl-related deaths in 2017, down from 14 in 2016.

According to the state report, “Rural areas in Virginia have the highest mortality rates due to prescription opioids, while urban areas have the highest mortality rates due

to illicit opioids.”

Between 2015 and 2016, Virginia saw its largest increase in the number of fatal overdoses on record, at 38.9 percent, according to state records.

“Although 2017 numbers surpassed those of 2016, the rate of change (7.5 percent increase) was not as significant as that seen in 2016 compared to 2015,” the report states.

Lateef wins nod for School Board Interim chair SCHOOL BOARD, from Page 1 “I will commit to doing this with full civility and in the spirit of always first finding our common ground and using that as our starting point,” Lateef said.

Lateef is perhaps best known for his unsuccessful 2011 bid to unseat Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large. Lateef ran as a Democrat in that race and has remained active in the party, serving on both Gov. Ralph Northam’s and Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s transition teams.

Lateef, however, has said he will not “approach the position in a partisan way.”

Lateef said he will run to keep the chairman’s post in the upcoming Nov. 6 special election to fill the last year of Sawyers’ term and plans to run for re-election in 2019, when all 16 of the county’s school board members and supervisors are up for re-election.

School board positions are officially nonpartisan, but most candidates run with political endorsements.

Vote reflects partisan split

Before the vote, all four Democratically endorsed school board members thanked all the candidates for volunteering for the job but said Lateef was the best choice. All three Republican-endorsed board members, however, said they could not support him.

School Board member Alyson Satterwhite (Gainesville), who has already announced her candidacy in the November election for school board chair, said she could not vote for someone who financially supported Sawyers, with whom she had a strained relationship.

School Board member Willie Deutsch (Coles) said the board had been marked by “hyper-partisanship” during Sawyers’ term and said he hoped “partisanship could have been avoided” with the appointment.

“I was hopeful that, give or take, maybe we all wouldn’t get our first choice, but maybe we’d get someone we were happy with,” Deutsch said. “... I think things could have gone differently.”

Lateef was the only candidate whose name was raised for debate.

School Board member Diane Raulston (Neabsco) made the motion to appoint him shortly after the school board meeting began at about 8 p.m.

School Board member Loree Williams (Woodbridge) seconded the motion.

Williams said she was impressed

by Lateef’s “depth, level and variety of experience” and said she felt the board needed “a fresh face.”

Wilk came to Lateef’s defense amid the remarks about political leanings, saying, “I’m not going to let the partisan shots fly.”

“What inspired me about Dr. Lateef was not his partisan leanings, it was his service in the community,” said Wilk, who noted he first met Lateef in 2011. Wilk praised Lateef’s involvement in the school division as a volunteer parent as well as his work in the community and with the University of Virginia. Lateef is a member of the UVA Board of Visitors, a position to which he was appointed by McAuliffe.

Board Chairwoman Lillie Jessie (Occoquan) also praised Lateef and his wife, Dr. Tarannum Lateef, for their dedication to the school division and their children’s schools.

Jessie also said the board “needs a sense of oneness.”

“We owe the public this,” Jessie said, noting that she made her choice out of her love for Prince William County.

“I love Prince William County. I loved working for this county, and this county deserves the best,” Jessie said. “...They’re very, very dedicated parents and very dedicated to the school system,” she said of the Lateefs.

Lateef acknowledges friendship with superintendent

In an interview before the vote, Lateef said he’d received the most questions from school board members not about partisanship but rather about his friendship with Prince William County Superintendent Steven Walts, who lives down the street from the Lateefs in a mid-county subdivision. Lateef said their friendship was “probably the biggest hurdle” about which he had to reassure the school board members in interviews before the vote.

Lateef acknowledged he and Walts are friends, but he said he felt confident he can retain a professional rapport in their relationship as school board chairman and superintendent.

Lateef also noted their relationship hasn’t kept him or his wife from expressing criticism about various aspects of the school division, which

is one reason he said both have been involved as parent volunteers. Lateef serves on the SPARK Foundation board of directors, while his wife, Tarannum, serves on the Superintendent’s Advisory Council.

“People would tell you we’re not afraid of speaking out against the school system when we see there’s a problem,” Lateef said. “That’s what I said to reassure the school board members, who asked the same question.”

Lateef: 15-minute recess ‘not enough’

Lateef also said he supports extending recess in Prince William elementary schools, saying the current 15-minute recess breaks “are not long enough.”

Lake Ridge parent Barbara Larrimore, who also applied for the school board chairman’s job, led a success-

ful effort this year to change Virginia law to allow public school divisions to count recess as instructional time.

Lateef said he would work with Larrimore and other stakeholders to find a way to stretch recess time in a way that works for school staff.

In Prince William schools, recess is mostly limited by a county regulation that dictates how elementary schools divvy up the school day.

In addition to serving on the SPARK board of directors and the UVA Board of Visitors, Lateef, an Ohio native, is on the faculty of George Washington University and is a member of the parent-teacher organizations at all three of his children’s schools: Marshall Elementary, Benton Middle and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.

Transco has developed the Southeastern Trail Project (Project) to provide the Project shippers with 296,375 dekatherms per day (dt/day) of firm transportation service capacity from Transco’s existing Pleasant Valley Interconnect facility between Transco and Dominion Energy Cove Point in Fairfax County, Virginia to the existing Station 65 pooling point in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. In order to provide the additional 296,375 dt/day of firm transportation capacity under the Project, Transco proposes to construct and operate the following facilities: • The addition of approximately 7.72 miles of new 42-inch diameter pipeline in Fauquier and Prince William Counties, Virginia; • Uprating of the existing electric driven compression unit driver from 25,000 horsepower to 30,000 horsepower and regearing the associated variable speed drive at Compressor Station 185 in Prince William County, Virginia; • Addition of one new 22,490 horsepower turbine driven compression unit, station cooling, uprating of the existing electric driven compression unit driver from 33,000 horsepower to 41,250 horsepower and rewheeling the associated compressor at Compressor Station 175 in Fluvanna County, Virginia; • A net addition of 24,980 horsepower that includes the installation of two new 22,490 horsepower turbine driven compression units, station cooling, and miscellaneous piping modifications at Compressor Station 165 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Transco proposes to abandon existing internal combustion engine driven compressor units 1 through 10 totaling 20,000 horsepower and all related buildings and ancillary equipment at this station.

• Eight Mainline Facility Station Reversals and Deodorization Modifications in South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana • Thirteen Mainline Valve Deodorization Modifications in South Carolina and Georgia along the Transco Mainline • Related appurtenant underground facilities and aboveground facilities On April 11, 2018, Transco filed an application for approval of its proposed Southeastern Trail Project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

7 vie for 6 seats in Haymarket

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Haymarket voters go to the polls May 1 to elect a mayor and members of town council. David Leake is running unopposed for another term as mayor while seven candidates are running for six seats on council.

Three current council members – John Cole, Steve Pasanello and Chris Morris – aren’t running for another term.

Incumbents Susan Edwards, Connor Leake and Steve Shannon are on the ballot along with newcomers

Tracy Lynn Pater, Bond Cavazos, Robert T. Day and Madhu Panthi.

Council members and the mayor serve two-year terms. The new terms start July 1.

The polling place for the town election is at town hall, 15000 Washington St., Suite 100. The poll will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Edwards, a Haymarket resident for 22 years, has been on council for six years and on the architectural review board for seven. She’s served on her neighborhood’s homeowners association board and on the Principal’s Advisory Council and the Su-

perintendent’s Advisory Council for Prince William County Schools.

“During my current term on council we have worked on blight cleanup, park development, redeveloping the town center as well as streamlining processes in town,” she said in an email reply to questions. “In addition, we have developed a plan for maintaining the streetscape (sidewalks, crosswalks and lighting) that are in need of maintenance. This item has been of great importance to me over the years.”

Shannon, 65, has served on town council for nine months since his appointment to fill an unexpired term.

BY ORDER OF THE TOWN COUNCIL Shelley M. Kozlowski Clerk to the Town Council

He’s been a member of the town planning commission for one year and works as the residency administrator in Prince William County for the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Shannon said he’ll keep an open mind and make his decisions on what’s best for the town’s citizens and businesses. He said he’ll work to preserve the history of the town as it grows.

Pater, 47, is married and the mother of three children. She’s a licensed Realtor with Exit Realty in Manassas. She also has a background in retail work and property management.

Pater has lived in Haymarket for eight years and previously lived in Bealeton.

“I love my town and I wanted to be more involved,” she said in explaining her reason for running. Hopefully, I can make a positive impact. I would like to be more involved in the decision making.”

Pater said she would “make the best decisions moving forward to positively impact the most people possible in the community.”

Fiscal responsibility is one area of interest to her.

“It’s a cute town. I’d like to maintain its integrity and nurture its growth,” Pater said.

Cavazos, 32, is a real estate agent with The Bill Denny Group of Long & Foster Real Estate. She is an alumna of the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. She has a husband, a daughter and chocolate Labrador.

Cavazos said she loves the town’s history, architecture and charm.

She’d like to see it move forward while keeping what can be preserved from the past.

Cavazos said she “discovered Haymarket” while making a trip to Aldie to take her daughter horseback riding.

The family made the move to Haymarket and purchased and renovated the historic McCormick house on Fayette Street.

As a member of the town’s architectural review board, she helps “families and businesses make those choices” involving preserving the past.

“A lot of buildings have fallen apart on Fayette and Washington. I would love to see something happen to preserve them,” she said.

She said she’d like to see the town do what it can to help its small businesses be more successful.

“I’m excited and hopeful and I think great things are ahead,” she said.

Mayor David Leake (Unopposed)

Not Pictured – Robert T. Day HAYMARKET, from Page 8 council,” Panthi said.

He said that he will make certain the town maintains its “excellent police department” if elected to council.

“I will do my best to see that the growth of our beautiful town is done responsibly and minimizes the impact on the quality of life for our citizens. We need to ensure that the effects of residential and commercial development are completely mitigated before allowing new projects to move forward,” he said.

“I will not compromise the well-being of the public and environment by serving interests motivated by profit. I will not be swayed by special interest groups,” he pledged.

Connor Leake, son of Mayor David Leake, is a commercial real estate agent and new business developer with Capital Group Benefits.

Leake, 28, is in his first term on council. He previously served on the planning commission and was that body’s liaison to the town’s architectural review board. That work “brings a new, fresh, innovative approach to working with our town businesses and residents,” he said.

“I have lived in town for 21 years where I have witnessed the growth of Haymarket firsthand and thus I understand the importance of preserving the town’s history while adapting to its modern need,” he said.

During his time on council, Leake said he and fellow council members have promoted the town and business, worked to preserve historic structures, updated the zoning ordinance and worked with Dominion Energy on a power line plan that has the least impact on residents.

Leake said he believes the development of local business is essential for Haymarket’s success. He’ll work toward completion of the town municipal center’s renovation as well as Haymarket Community Park.

He said he will work with town residents and businesses on an update of the comprehensive plan, which will guide development.

Mayor David Leake is running for his fourth two-year term. He previously served three years as a town council member. He chaired the town planning commission for two years.

He works as an IT/facilities manager.

The mayor said he wants to continue efforts to making Haymarket a “business-friendly, walking town” and to eliminate blighted properties. In terms of accomplishments, he pointed to establishing a police

department that professionally and ethically serves the town and his role in assembling a professional, knowledgeable and cohesive town staff.

“We worked together to set stra-

tegic goals to enhance opportunities for businesses, promote smart future growth and plan for much-needed town enhancements in a fiduciarily responsible way, allowing us to keep

taxes at a minimum,” he said.

Candidates Shannon and Day didn’t respond to emailed questions.

Towns only work when their residents vote Have you taken a stroll at Occoquan’s new riverfront park or caught a summer concert in Quantico?

If you live in Dumfries, have you taken in the town’s annual Christmas parade or brought the kids to the town Easter egg hunt?

Have you visited Haymarket lately? If so, you no doubt noticed the new shops and restaurants and the charming walkability of its downtown district.

OUR Given the energy daily life requires, most people likely don’t think about the work that goes into our local towns, but we nonetheless appreciate that someone else is taking time to make life more pleasant for those who live in Dumfries, Haymarket, Occoquan and Quantico.

Some of those people – the doers behind the holiday events, town parks, summer concerts and a myriad other things – are on the ballot May 1 alongside newcomers who want to try their hands at improving the quality of life of their neighbors.

The job isn’t just about the extras.

Town mayors and councilmembers worry most about their fellow residents’ safety. That means overseeing crucial public services, including adequate town police departments.

It’s also not easy. Members of town

councils spend loads of time attending public meetings and work sessions, answering constituents’ emails and studying up on possible solutions to the challenges their towns face.

In most cases, town leaders do this work for a relative pittance. Towns pay their mayors and councilmembers small salaries, but it’s usually only a few thousand dollars, if that.

On top of all that, town council members must run VIEW for re-election every two or four years, depending on their town’s charters.

Since towns councils comprise perhaps the most accessible level of government to their small constituencies, it shouldn’t be hard for voters to pay attention.

Is the garbage picked up as expected? Are the sidewalks in good shape?

Are the parking rules working for residents and business owners? All are the purview of town governments, meaning they have a regular impact on residents’ daily lives.

Of Prince William County’s 460,000 residents, fewer than 9,000 live in towns.

Towns exist simply because Virginia offers communities the opportunity to create a level of government more closely focused on their residents’ particular needs. For that reason, living in

We returned home this weekend to find an official county notice in our mailbox signed by Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, regarding a “Notice of Proposed Tax Cut.” In the notice, Chairman Stewart says that on Tuesday 24 April the BOCS “will vote on the county tax rates and budget. Included in the votes will be a proposal to require YOUR data centers to pay the same general personal property tax rate as county residents and other types of businesses. This proposal would result in cutting the real estate tax rate for all County residents.”

What Chairman Stewart won’t tell you is that tax rates can go down while your overall tax bill still goes up because the assessed value of your home is almost always increasing. This is

what has actually happened to my real estate taxes during Stewart’s tenure as chairman of the BOCS – a 31.5 percent increase 2007-17. How about yours?

Chairman Stewart seems to have no qualms about trying to deceive his constituents – using misleading wording in the county notice cited above – if it gets him what he wants: power and funding in Prince VIEW William County as his political base to run for higher statewide or national office. (After running unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor and governor and being fired as President Donald Trump’s Virginia campaign manager, he’s now running for the U.S. Senate.)

Stewart also will not tell you that despite a whopping increase in county real estate taxes during his 10 years as chairman, Prince William has the

a town can be considered a privilege.

Town residents pay a bit more taxes, but the impact of those dollars is likely felt more acutely than the money sent off to the federal, state or maybe even county government (although counties also deliver services close to home, even to town residents.)

The arrangement, however, only works when town residents care enough to vote. On that score, Prince William County – indeed all

of Virginia – doesn’t have the best track record.

In most town elections, turnout is 10 percent or less.

Given all town governments do (or don’t do) to impact their residents’ daily lives, shouldn’t more town voters ensure they get to the polls?

most overcrowded schools and roads in the state, and both the schools and roads are getting worse. Compare this to the fact that the real estate tax on the townhouse in which we used to live in Loudoun County has actually decreased overall since 2007, while the house’s value has gone up significantly.

There are only two possible explanations for ever-rising county taxes while services are noticeably declining. One explanation would be the policies of Chairman Stewart and the BOCS. The only other possible explanation would be incompetence and/or malfeasance and misuse of county taxpayer funds.

Here are what we know to be the reasons: • Out-of-control residential development in Prince William County, which is typically tax negative (except for higher-end homes).

“Tax-negative” means that the cost of county services (police, fire, roads, schools, other infrastructure, etc.) is greater than the real estate tax revenue therefrom.

• Some county supervisors’ financial dependence on political contributions from residential developers.

Chairman Stewart leads the list with over $1.465M in campaign funding from developers. (See www.vpap.org for more info.)

• County leadership’s failure to attract more business to reduce the

tax burden on residents. That’s why about 85 percent of the county’s tax revenue continues to come from homeowners and less than about 15 percent comes from businesses.

Chairman Stewart has presided over 10 years of ever-increasing taxes, ever-more crowded roads and schools, a low business tax base and ever-higher developer payoffs to county supervisors, particularly him.

Is Stewart trying to re-direct land away from commercial/business use for his residential developer cronies? We certainly hope that Chairman Stewart is not trying to further discourage commercial investment in Prince William County by raising the taxes of existing businesses.

We also hope that his tax gambit is not in reality an attempt to discourage data centers from locating in the county so that land set aside for them can be redirected again to residential developer use. (This would include the business-zoned land around Jiffy Lube Live near Gainesville, whose owners and realtors/ developers still wish to build thousands of houses there and who have given Stewart tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions.)

Stewart wishes to deceive us about tax increase

Gravel grinding offers cyclists fitness and fun

By Brian Larson

lower pressures. They can be a good all-purpose bicycle as useable for gravel grinding as for commuting; you can even ride some less challenging single-track mountain-bike trails. Features and capabilities are important considerations, as is price. The good news is that these bikes are affordable. A good entry-level gravel grinder will set you back less than $1,000. If you’ve shopped around for good quality bikes recently, this figure shouldn’t surprise you.

Bike Stop, Warrenton

In the cycling world, gravel grinding is the term cyclists’ use for putting bigger tires on bikes. Why put bigger tires on a bike? To make it more fun to ride on unpaved surfaces, of course! Road cyclists grind gravel in the winter months to keep up with their training demands. Others prefer gravel grinding over pavement at any time of the year because of the scenery and shady routes and because there’s less traffic.

How do I ride a gravel grinder?

There will be a learning curve but it’s not difficult. The way the bike handles on dirt and gravel is different than a predictable paved surfaces. You just need to remember to not make sudden adjustments. Most gravel-grinding cyclists also tend to spin their pedals faster when they’re on gravel – the higher cadence improves traction and definitely helps on climbs.

What is a gravel grinder bike?

Combine a sturdy road frame with fatter tires or tires purpose-made for “off-road” travel and you’ve got a gravel grinder. Bicycle manufacturers have caught on to the trend and now offer specific models geared toward gravel grinding with frames, tires, and drivetrains all aimed at making these rides fun and adventurous. In some cases, manufacturers are making bikes that can do both road riding and gravel grinding, with a simple change of wheels to enable the cyclist to switch back and forth between the two. The frames of these bikes are built to withstand abuse, gearing is provided to make it less difficult to climb hills or ride across open fields, and tires are wider (or fatter) to keep the bike and its rider from sinking into soft surfaces. Disc brakes are pretty much standard due to their better stopping power in dirty and wet conditions. All this while still being reasonably fast and efficient and fun.

Where do I go around here to grind gravel?

Closer in to Warrenton, you’ll need to ride on paved surfaces to get to the good gravel roads. Pick the right ones and you can get several uninterrupted miles of gravel before you hit pavement again. In northern Fauquier, gravel roads are abundant. Some cyclists report riding almost all day on nothing but gravel.

Is a gravel grinder right for you?

Even if you’re a diehard road cyclist, a gravel grinder might make sense. You’ll be in a posture similar to road riding but in a somewhat more upright position. The bikes tend to be more comfortable due to their more relaxed geometry and the tendency for the tires to be inflated to

Forest Park wins Spriggs Cup over Hylton, 21-4

By Josh Dorsey

At left, Forest Park’s Jake McConnell (7) and Spence Perry (19) challenge the Bulldogs’ Miles James on Thursday at Hylton.

Above, the Bruins’ Vashon Davis quiets the crowd during his eightgoal performance.

Special to the Times

In 2017, Forest Park midfielder Vashon Davis picked up a costly three-minute penalty late in a boys lacrosse game against Hylton.

The Bulldogs scored four goals in that span, which allowed them to claim the rivalry’s “Spriggs Cup.” For reimbursement of that costly penalty, Bruins head coach Pete Hurgronje challenged Davis to produce four goals in a rematch Thursday. The midfielder did, and he added four more goals for good measure to help Forest Park beat Hylton, 214, on the road in Woodbridge.

“This was an incredible effort,” Hurgronje said of Davis. “It’s kind of cool that he not only made up the four that hurt the team last year but [also] extended that out and doubled it.

“He did some summer camps and ... he has really improved,” the coach said. “He has really stepped it up.”

Davis scored his eighth goal late in the fourth quarter to help the Bruins avenge their loss at Hylton last season, 14-10.

“I think we did great,” Davis said of beating the Bulldogs. “We were really moving the ball really well as a team and breaking down the defense easily.

“It was so important to us. We really wanted this and needed this,” Davis said. “We have been thinking about this all year and all last year.”

to beat Bulldogs goalie Alex Pribanic only one minute into the game.

Brett Padgett and Spence Perry each added a goal before Davis scored again to give Forest Park a 4-1 lead before the emotions of the heated rivalry boiled over.

Late in the first period, a scrum turned into a brawl when some extra contact led to punches thrown

by Hylton’s Niles Owen, who was ejected from the game. He left a wake of equipment, and his jersey, on the track as he moved to the locker room.

Forest Park took full advantage of the penalty by scoring five goals in the opening three minutes of the second period, including three from Davis.

“It was kind of crazy,” he said. “I think we did a good job of … moving on” from the altercation.

“We really stayed focused on the game,” Davis said.

Hylton responded with one goal each from Daniel Carias and Miles James to enter halftime in an 11-3 deficit.

Regardless, Forest Park improved its record to 7-1 while the Bulldogs fell to 4-5 with a previous loss to the Bruins this spring, 21-2, March 19.

“It’s been hard getting our guys ready,” Hylton coach Joe Campagna said. “It’s a big rivalry and the kids all know each other, but right now we’ve got some injuries.

“We will probably see them again in the playoffs,” he said. “We need to build off this. We are a young team.”

Forest Park scored six goals in the third period Thursday and four more in the fourth. So Padgett finished with four goals, while Perry and Jacob Quantrille had two each.

“The great thing ... is a lot of solid team-effort that we see from them,” Hurgronje said of the Bruins. “We already beat [the Bulldogs] at home

this year, but we had to win it on their field,” too.

Despite dealing with youth and injuries, Hylton showed some life with three goals from Daniel Carias and one from Miles James.

“My kids hustled tonight,” Campagna said. “They didn’t give up and they are fighters.

“It’s a good group of kids,” he said. “Today we talked about the history of lacrosse and how it is more than just goals. Even though we lost, they are learning. That is all I can ask for.”

The Bruins, meanwhile, are in the midst of a remarkable turnaround after the 4-10 record they had in 2017.

“They are playing together and playing as a team,” Hurgronje said.

“When I came to take over the program I stressed fundamentals and teamwork. We just have a better mindset this year.”

In the coming weeks, the Bruins will try to take back another rivalry trophy, the “234 Cup,” created for the newly formed rivalry between Forest Park and Colgan. Then the Bruins will try to build toward a Class 6 state berth.

“They can go as far as they want to,” Hurgronje said. “There is some really tough competition in Fairfax.

In this [Prince William] area we don’t play as hard of competition.

All we have to do is get one percent better every day.”

Davis agreed.

“I don’t know for sure,” he said, “but I think we are going to do really well this year.”

4 score off Varley’s hits in Battlefield win over Patriot

By Noah Fleischman Special to the Times

Reese Varley’s four RBIs led the Battlefield Bobcats to a 5-3 victory over Patriot’s baseball team Friday night on the road in Nokesville.

He went 2-for-3 with a bases-clearing, three-run single in the third inning that gave the Bobcats a 4-1 lead. Varley also slugged an RBI double in the seventh to seal a victory that improved Battlefield’s record to 11-3 overall and 4-0 in the Cedar Run District while the Pioneers fell to 8-6 and 2-2.

“I was trying to take a good 2-0 swing and to put the ball in play to the right side,” Varley of the double.

On the mound, East Carolina recruit Zach Agnos pitched 4 2/3 innings as Battlefield’s starter, allowing three runs on five hits and striking out four Pioneers. He also caught two Pioneers stealing, one at third base and one at first.

At the plate, Jonah Seagears, a Virginia Tech recruit, smoked a double to the left-center field fence in the fourth inning for his lone hit

of the night. He also walked once, while Agnos went 1-for-3 at the plate with an intentional walk.

“I think the biggest thing was getting ahead in the count,” Burkhart said. “Any time the hitter loses the

count it goes in the pitcher’s favor and the pitcher can be efficient.”

The Bobcats started the scoring with a solo home run by Austin Estridge that hugged the right-field line. He finished 1-for-3 with a walk. The home run was the first of Battlefield’s eight hits.

Patriot tied the game, 1-1, on a Connor Jersey RBI single in the bottom of the second inning. He finished 1-for-3, while West Point recruit Hunter Meade went 1-for-3 with a walk.

The Pioneers scored again in the fifth inning on a Willie Balkin tworun single to narrow their deficit to 4-3. He finished 1-for-3 with the two RBIs, while Riley Eikhoff, a University of Virginia recruit, went five innings as the Pioneers’ starting pitcher. He allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out seven Battlefield hitters with two walks.

Battlefield reliever Harrison Whitt pitched 2 1/3 innings, allowing one hit and striking out four.

Three of those strikeouts came in the seventh inning to earn the save.

Offensively, the Pioneers’ Sammy Murphy led the Pioneers with three RBIs on three hits, while Madeline Gillette also had three RBIs.

Prince William lost 59 to fatal overdoses in 2017 Opioids ‘driving force’ among fatal overdoses across Virginia

By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer

Fatal drug overdoses remained the leading cause of unnatural death in Virginia in 2017, according a Virginia Department of Health report released this week.

Though 2017 numbers are not yet final, a state health department report released April 20 shows that 1,534 Virginians died of drug overdoses in 2017, up from 1,428 people in 2016.

At the time of the report, about 40 cases from 2017 remained open, awaiting additional reports to determine cause and manner of death.

According to the preliminary numbers, Prince William County had 59 overdose deaths in 2017, compared to 58 in 2016.

Manassas had 14 overdose deaths in 2017, up from seven in 2016; while Manassas Park had four overdose deaths in 2017, up from one in 2016.

In Fauquier County, there were 13 overdose deaths in 2017, down from

25 in 2016.

The Virginia Department of Health reports that fatal drug overdose has been the leading method of unnatural death in Virginia since 2015 and the leading method of accidental death since 2014.

Opioids continued to represent the largest percentage of fatal overdoses in Virginia in 2017.

Opioids accounted for 1,227 fatal overdoses in Virginia in 2017, up from 1,138 deaths in 2016.

In Prince William County, 49

overdose deaths were attributed to opioids in both 2017, the same number reported in 2016.

In Manassas, 12 overdose deaths were due to opioids in 2017, up from seven in 2016.

In Manassas Park there were four opioid overdose deaths in 2017, up from one in 2016.

In Fauquier County, there were 11 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2017, compared to 23 in 2016.

Dr. Babur Lateef, an ophthalmologist and father of four, was appointed interim chairman of the Prince William County School Board Wednes- Dr. Babur Lateef day in a party-line vote. All four Democratically endorsed members of the school board supported Lateef, while the three Republican-backed board members cast opposing votes.

Lateef, 46, was one of the first candidates to apply to take the helm of the school board in the wake of former Chairman Ryan Sawyers’ resignation March 7.

The pool of applicants would eventually grow to 20 -- including former School Board Chairwoman Lucy Beauchamp and former Gainesville School Board member Don Richardson. But Lateef was long considered a leading contender among the board’s four Democrats.

In a statement after the vote, Lateef called it is a “true honor to be selected” from the group of candidates.
