Turnout in town elections tops expectations Occoquan reports record 35-percent turnout May 1

By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer

Prince William County’s turnout in the May 1 town elections was higher than expected and reached a record in Occoquan.

The river town had the highest turnout of Prince William’s four small municipalities, at 35 percent. Turnout was 34 percent in Quantico; 20 percent in Dumfries; and 15 percent in Haymarket, according to the Prince William County Office of Elections.

All were higher than projected.

“I figured 10 percent,” said Matthew Wilson, spokesman for the Prince William County Office of Elections. “Maybe 10 to 20.”

It’s hard to say exactly what brought more people to the polls last week, but Wilson said the ballots seemed to have more names on them than in town elections two years ago.

And with more names on the ballot, turnout seems to see an uptick.

Also, it certainly didn’t hurt that it was sunny May 1, with temperatures in the 70s.

“It was a nice day,” Wilson said.

The 35-percent figure, as well as the number of voters, 275, were records for Occoquan, at least in recent history, said Mayor Elizabeth Quist, who didn’t seek re-election.

In 2010, for example, 120 voters marked ballots to pick town leaders in Occoquan, which made for a 19 percent turnout. In 2012, there were only 96 voters, Quist said.

But those numbers grew to 257 voters and 34-percent turnout by 2016.

The difference in that election

and in this year’s elections may have been a special election newsletter the town sent to every post-office box in Occoquan, which doesn’t have doorto-door mail delivery.

“We just tried to really get the word out to try and improve voter turnout,” Quist said.

Like Wilson, she said having a full ballot probably aided turnout, as well. There was a race for mayor — former mayor Earnie Porta defeated Steven Vonderheide — and eight See ELECTIONS, Page 5

A recently funded pilot program to employ retired law-enforcement officers as armed security guards in Prince William schools is getting high marks from county school board members.

State law allows school divisions to hire retired police officers to serve as armed guards provided they meet certain criteria, including that they retire within the past 10 years. The Prince William Board of Supervisors wanted to explore the measure in light of incidents of school violence around the nation.

They allocated $500,000 for the pilot program in the county budget for the next fiscal year that was approved April 24.

The program, as county police Chief Barry Barnard has outlined, would begin with five security officers and a supervisor and then could be expanded later.

School board backs armed guards for schools SCHOOL SAFETY, from Page 1 The security officers would be school employees and would work in concert with school-resource officers, who are sworn police officers and employees of the Prince William County Police Department. But the pilot program using retired officers would cost less than hiring additional school-resource officers because sworn officers are paid more and are outfitted with patrol cars and other equipment.

The idea is to get the security officers hired over the summer and have them ready to go for the first day of school next August, said school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta. Before that, school officials are developing job descriptions and working with the police department on the appropriate training for the new staff.

School Board member Alyson Satterwhite (Gainesville) called the pilot program a “collaborative, well-thought-out proposal that will increase student safety.”

“I look forward to seeing it implemented in the coming year and expand-

ed over time,” she said in an email.

Interim School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef (At Large) hadn’t been appointed to the board when county supervisors first agreed to spend money on the project, but he said he supports it.

“We’re very pleased that they’re funding this pilot program,” he said.

Lateef’s father is a former chairman of the criminal justice department at Youngstown State University in Ohio, so the new chairman is familiar with law enforcement.

Lateef pointed out that implementing the pilot program is a step local officials can take now, as opposed to potentially changing gun or mental-health laws, which would be longer-term concerns.

Lateef said he hopes the new armed security guards can help school-resource officers and unarmed school-security officers with threat assessments as well as security at elementary schools. There are sworn officers assigned to each Prince William middle and high school as school-resource officers.

The county’s 61 elementary schools

are routinely monitored by patrol officers but are not assigned individual school-resource officers.

Lateef also said that the armed guards represent just an “added layer” of security to a system that already had several other layers in place, including the school-resource officers.

Safety always has been a top priority for the school division, he said, and school officials want to make sure parents, many of whom commute away from the county for work, feel confident their children are safe at school.

School Board member Gil Trenum (Brentsville) said that the board will have to figure out how best to implement the pilot program to help elementary schools. But he said retired law-enforcers are a good group from which to pick employees.

The school system already employs a number of them in unarmed security positions, he said.

“These types of people are quite capable,” Trenum said.

School Board member Willie Deutsch (Coles) said he thinks the program will be easily expandable

once it gets off the ground.

“There’s a lot of checks, and it’s well-thought-out,” he said.

For example, in terms of checks and balances, Deutsch pointed out that Barnard has to sign off on those hired for the program even though they will be school employees.

School Board member Loree Williams (Woodbridge) also said she’s confident in Barnard’s vetting process.

So, of the pilot program, she said, “I’m on board with trying it to see how it goes.”

Williams said anything the division can do to make students, staff and parents feel more comfortable about the school environment is good.

School Board member Diane Raulston (Neabsco) has some concerns, though. She didn’t say she was against the pilot program, but she worries about having weapons in elementary schools.

“I’m just thoroughly in the middle on this one,” she said.

Kaine: ‘Activism of young people’ changing Washington Senator leads Forest Park H.S. class for Teacher Appreciation Week

By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer

Young people are providing leadership right now and have even influenced recent federal legislation, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine told high school students Monday.

Kaine, D-Va., spoke to groups at Forest Park and Manassas Park high schools Monday and said recent student activism helped topple a regulation that had prohibited research about gun violence by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The regulation, the so-called “Dickey Amendment,” for years had prevented public research dollars from being spent on the studying gun violence.

But language inserted into an omnibus spending bill in March reversed that.

Why? “This year, you guys changed this,” Kaine told a group of Forest Park seniors as he taught a government class at the school as part of

Teacher Appreciation Week.

Legislation to eliminate the Dickey Amendment stalled for a long time, Kaine said, but once young people were about to march on Washington over gun violence in schools, lawmakers agreed to do away with it and attached it to the spending bill, which passed as expected.

The anti-Dickey bill “had been stuck in a traffic jam for years, but because of the activism of young people, it passed in the last month and a half,” the lawmaker said.

It will be up to students to decide where they want to concentrate activism next, Kaine said. One chance could be the November elections.

“And so students who can register to vote, should, and students who are too young can still canvass or get engaged with candidates that they support,” he said during a break between two classes he taught.

For his part, Kaine, who was Hil-

U.S. Senator TimKaine, D-Va., told Forest High School Seniors that teens’ recent activism led to the changes in federal regarding research into gun violence. lary Clinton’s vice-presidential running mate in 2016, faces a re-election challenge from the winner of a three-way GOP primary in June.

Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, Del. Nick Freitas of Culpeper and E.W. Jackson, the 2013 Republican nominee for lieutenant general, are all vying for the GOP nomination.

Also at Forest Park, Kaine spoke about topics including conflict with Syria, Iran, a balanced-budget amendment, potential statehood for Puerto Rico and the opioid crisis.

On opioids, he said he’s most interested in developing pain-management tactics to prevent people from ever having to use the drugs.

“If you can create other strategies and not have people get on opioids at all, that’s the best way to do it,” Kaine said.

At Manassas Park, he participated in a roundtable discussion about gun safety organized by Del. Danica Roem, D-13th.

The legislators and other community leaders heard from a handful of students from the Prince William region

who spoke about topics including mental-health screening, support groups for students, safety concerns about classroom trailers and whether the legal age to own a gun should be raised from 18.

Kaine told the group that the target of gun-safety legislation shouldn’t be to eliminate all crime because that’s not realistic. Instead, lawmakers should look to measures that will “incrementally make us safer.”

“There’s no law that’s going to be magic because we’re human beings and we’re imperfect,” he said.

Students at both events seemed to enjoy their time with Virginia’s junior senator. At Manassas Park, they took pictures with him after the gathering, and at Forest Park, senior Audrey Flavin said it was beneficial to see a public servant up close.

She said Kaine seemed to speak as an “actual person” at her school and didn’t give standard political answers when students asked questions.

“That was a really cool opportunity,” said Flavin, who plans to attend the University of Alabama next year.

Dumfries mayor resigns two months before his term ends Dumfries Mayor Jerry Foreman abruptly announced his resignation May 2, a day after the voters went to the polls to pick a new mayor and fill three seats on the Dumfries Town Council.

Foreman, who did not seek re-election, announced the decision to resign in a letter addressed to the town council, the town manager and the town staff, which he posted on his website on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 2. Foreman’s term formally ends June 30.

Foreman’s letter was given to the town council that night.

“I have served in this position for six years. My family and I had discussed this decision when I announced I would not seek re-election,” Foreman said in the letter.

Foreman announced in February he would not seek another term. Instead, he endorsed Dumfries Vice Mayor Cliff Brewer for mayor. Brewer lost the May 1 contest to fellow Councilman Derrick Wood. Brewer will remain on the council, however, since he still has two more years left in his term.

“There is no reason to reside as mayor through June 2018. The oncoming

mayor has been selected and should lead the Fiscal Year 2019 annual operating budget discussions; I stand ready to assist the mayor-elect if requested,” Foreman’s letter said, adding: Mayor Jerry “The current vice Foreman mayor is more than capable of presiding over a handful of council meetings.”

The announcement means Brewer will serve as interim mayor until Wood takes office July 1. Wood beat Brewer with more than 70 percent of the vote.

Brewer said he was disappointed with Foreman’s announcement. “I’m disappointed because he promised a smooth transition with the new mayor, which will now be my responsibility,” Brewer said. “That’s what we should do, to make the transition as easy as possible.”

Wood said he was surprised by the news.

“I didn’t see it coming. I’m in a state of shock,” Wood said.

Foreman did not respond to a request for further comment.

$39 million Minnieville Road project on track for October finish Work to widen Minnieville Road from a two-lane roadway to a fourlane roadway with a median between Spriggs Road and Va. 234 is on schedule and on budget, Prince William County officials announced this week.

The $39-million project, which began in November 2016, is 63 percent completed. The entire project is scheduled to be finished in October, Prince William County Department of Transportation Construction Manager Rich Windish said in a press release.

The project involves multiple components, including a bridge crossing Powell’s Creek that is now complete, the press release said.

About half of the new roadway lanes, in both directions, are also complete. The signal at Howison Park is 85

percent complete. The pedestrian trail that will run the length of the project is also underway, and one of three retaining walls is complete, Windish said.

Upcoming work will include a traffic shift at Spriggs Road in about a month. Work north of Spriggs Road is scheduled to begin at the end of June.

Windish said the project, when completed, will make travel easier.

“It will help by alleviating the flood conditions at the creek and better movement of traffic on a main corridor in the county due to the two lanes in both directions and signalization improvements,” Windish said in the release.

Warrenton store offers all things Amish

By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Steve Payne laughingly admits his office is in his vehicle. On the road most of the time, fielding phone calls from various managers, Payne took time from his fairly frenetic schedule to talk about one of his businesses: This ‘n That Amish Outlet on Lee Highway in Warrenton.

“It was supposed to be my retirement job,” he said with a slight raise of an eyebrow suggesting he well knew otherwise.

For nearly 30 years, Payne has run Payne’s Parking Designs, Inc., with offices located in Bealeton. It’s a full-service striping and signage contractor that is pre-qualified and certified through the Virginia Department of Transportation for both traffic signage and pavement markings. It’s a gritty business that currently employs more than 100 workers and 70 trucks. Their coverage area includes nine states and Washington, D.C. But this business had its beginnings with a guy named Steve Payne armed with experience from his father and other parking-maintenance professionals who set up shop in his garage with one truck, one employee and a vision of greater things to come.

Payne’s Traffic Lines and Signs is another of his businesses focused on road safety and all the signs and equipment necessary to accomplish

Steve Payne, owner of This ‘n’ That Amish Outlet, on U.S. 29 outside Gainesville. that. Dealing in many instances with municipal governments, his is a major supplier of everything to do with road readiness. Once again, the result of one man’s idea put into action.

“To me, success is growth,” says Payne. “That’s how I measure it.”

From gravel and cement, trucks and orange cones, Payne has shifted gears into what might be his favorite business child – selling Amish-made products. While tackling a new venture in his “retirement” years, Payne hasn’t deviated from his core principles. His focus has been, and will continue to be, on quality, customer service and building relationships.

The beginning of Payne’s journey to all things Amish started some six years ago with a request coupled with serendipity.

“My wife Michelle wanted to raise chickens,” said Payne.

“I’d heard about the craftsmen in Pennsylvania,” he added, noting his and his wife’s fondness for road trips.

Once outside of Lancaster, they met an older Amish gentleman who sold them not only a chicken coop but a connection to a culture and a method of craftsmanship Payne found immediately intriguing.

Not long after the chicken coop purchase, the Paynes were back in Pennsylvania, this time in search of a barn for Michelle’s goats.

In 2012, the building on Lee Highway, formerly a real-estate office, became vacant. Payne had his eye on it but wasn’t sold on what to fill it with. But now, with a budding friendship with the Amish craftsman, a match was soon to be made.

He would buy the building and sell this man’s products with the stipulation that the quality workmanship remain – no cutting back on quality. Agreed.

When the store first opened, it was called This ‘n That Outlet, because it carried a combination of Amish-built outdoor structures as well as government surplus items like office furniture.

“But, within a year, I got rid of

all the government surplus stuff and changed the name to This ‘n That Amish Outlet,” said Payne. “The demand was there; the customers were only interested in Amish products.”

Since 2012, Payne has expanded not only his business but his line of Amish-made goods. With locations in Leesburg and Winchester, and an eye on Fredericksburg, he now carries not only barns, garages and sheds but fanciful playhouses, pergolas, gazebos, outdoor furniture, elaborate play structures, dog kennels and, let’s not forget, chicken coops. Inside, you’ll find rockers, bookshelves, hutches, tables, bread boxes and hallstands. The list goes on.

“We’ll warranty a shed for 15 years,” says Payne, “If the foundation is good. You’ve got to have a strong base.” Beyond selling the product, Payne insists that proper site work is done before delivery.

He walks confidently throughout the maze of outdoor products filling the Warrenton location. With a range of sizes, colors, materials and styles, most of what you see stays on the lot.

“We’re pretty much doing everything custom-made,” said Payne.

“And if you don’t see something specific, wecan work up designs and build what you want…in one case, the customer wanted a building half shed and the other half for dog bathing.”

Payne works with some 60 to 70 Amish craftsmen, and each is specialized. “One may do bedroom sets, another one sheds…it keeps them all busy and all experts with their particular line.”

Currently, Payne employs between 15 and 16 people at his three locations. Payne believes in surrounding himself with good people, but he is demanding, holding them See AMISH, Page 9

AMISH, from Page 8 to the same standards he has for the suppliers of his product.

“I have high expectations of our service level across the board,” Payne said.

A self-starter, Payne does not begrudge his challenging childhood and credits it for his drive today. On his own at 14, he learned early the lessons of survival, determination, persistence and building relationships to build successful businesses.

“I’m an adventurer…I’m aggressive…I’m a workaholic…I like to stay busy,” he smiles, “and I love competition.” Worst time for Payne?

The holidays, too much down time.

Mirroring his active mind, the calendar on his desk in Warrenton is scribbled with notes, funny drawings, and reminders. It’s also from 2012, the year they opened. Payne laughs.

“You can see how much I’m here,” he says, ready to hit the road to his

Councilman’s death a reminder to slow down, savor every day The recent death of Quantico Councilman Jerre S. Thomas II serves as an all-too-real reminder of not only the dangers present on our roads but also of the fragility of life itself.

The 57-year-old was on his way to work April 12 when he was in a motorcycle crash that took his life.

I didn’t know Thomas, never interviewed him, but whenever catastrophe strikes one of the prominent people in our community, it’s a wakeup call that bad things can happen to anyone at any time.

Thomas was popular, Quantico Mayor Kevin Brown told me, so much so that Brown was even looking for his former colleague to be among the winners when town voters went to the polls May 1. Thomas was running for re-election, and the mayor figured that voters would pick his name as kind of a memorial even though he couldn’t serve again. He ended up not winning, but he still logged 43 votes in a small town, which says something.

Anyway, the point is we’re not talking about someone who was sick in bed in the hospital. We’re talking a man who was working and serving his fellow citizens, someone who was pre-

JONATHAN HUNLEY sumably in the prime of his life. And now he has joined those we’ve lost on our roads. As of April 30, 243 people have been killed in crashes on Virginia roadways this year alone, according to preliminary statistics from the state Department of Motor Vehicles.

We all know that traffic is bad here. I try not to complain about it, instead seeing it as the cost of living in a vibrant place where lots of other folks also want to live, too.

But regardless of how many other people are on the road at any given time, we need to be careful on highways and streets. And I’m writing this as much for me as for you. Maybe I should leave a little earlier sometimes, so I’m not rushing to get from place to place. Or maybe a phone call can wait until I’m out of the car.

We know all of this already. And we

Main Street, Warrenton, VA (Rain or Shine)

hear it from time to time from law-enforcement agencies and from nonprofit groups. But I’m afraid it doesn’t register until something bad happens.

I’m also guilty of not seeing the forest for the trees. So, Thomas’s death reminded me, too, that life is short.

We’re not promised a certain number of tomorrows, so we need to make the most of each day.

What does that mean?

Probably something different to everyone. But I want to generally be healthy while also having a big, honking bacon cheeseburger every once in a while.

I want to be slow to anger and quick to forgive, even if that forgiving means I have to be nice to Dallas Cowboys fans.

I want to work hard — my bosses will appreciate that, I suspect — but also take time for family, especially for my only child.

Really, what I mean is I don’t want to take anything for granted. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day craziness of the Type-A, East Coast world in which we live. But we should make sure to experience what’s around us.

To do anything less is seemingly irresponsible. Think of all of those who no longer have this opportunity, who no longer get to walk the Earth and take in its bounty.

Yes. Think of them, think of Jerre Thomas, and get going with the business of living.

Bryna Disney (above) and the potent Woodbridge offense, plus a stout defense, have helped the Vikings (10-1-1) stay dominant.

For talented Woodbridge, scoring goals is a way of life Vikings’ girls just wish they were scoring a few more

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Woodbridge Vikings have a worrisome weakness, one that should concern their opponents more than themselves.

Sure, Woodbridge has struggled to score efficiently this girls soccer season, but the Vikings nonetheless remain undefeated in Cardinal District play with a victory margin of 3.8 goals per game.

Imagine the damage they could do if, or when, they convert more opportunities.

On Thursday, the Vikings missed 92 percent of their shots in beating host Gar-Field, 3-0. Then Woodbridge tied Hylton, 1-1, on Friday to give them a 9-0-1 Cardinal District record and 10-1-1 mark overall.

“I think we have a lot of potential,” Woodbridge coach Kim Spindler said. “We’re having some finishing issues right now, and it’s something we’re working through. The girls recognize it.”

One more win gives the Vikings at least a share of the district regular season championship.

Last season, they won an equivalent Conference 4 regular season title and finished 13-5-1.

They lost at least 10 players to graduation and injury, including three Class 6A all-state athletes in forward Emma Hiett (conference Player of the Year), back Kendall Mikkelsen and midfielder Ashley Rodriquez.

So Woodbridge’s long undefeated run in district play “is a little surprising,” said junior outside back Julia Finken, who cited camaraderie as the reason for the Vikings’ success. “Everybody

likes each other, which is rare on a soccer team. … It’s great. Usually there’s some drama.”

Junior forward Bryna Disney, a transfer student from California, led Woodbridge with two goals and an assist against Gar-Field (6-7-1 overall, 4-5-1 district).

“I think we can win conference. I don’t want to jinx it, but yeah,” said Disney, who expects to return to Orange County in California following this school year due to her father’s military career.

Disney has strengthened a Woodbridge offense that also features returning all-conference players in juniors Alyssa Alexander, who had one goal and one assist Thursday, and Madison Morin.

“They knew coming in that we had some big shoes to fill, and they’ve stepped up,” Spindler said of her entire roster. “We lost big talent, but what I think is cool about this team is they like each other and we have kind of this awesome chemistry.”

So the Vikings appear destined for their 11th region bid in the past 15 seasons.

Last spring, Spindler led Woodbridge to a Class 6A South Region berth as a first-year head coach after the Vikings finished as the Conference 4 tournament runner-up with a 1-0 loss to Riverbend in the final via a 9-8 penalty kick session. They also lost on penalty kicks in the first round of region play, 3-2, to James River.

That region bid continued a precedent set by Scott Kerns, who left Woodbridge following the 2016 season with a 13-year record of 161-63-1 and six district/conference titles.

See SOCCER, Page 14

Viking Julia Finken didn’t score in last week’s 3-0 win over Gar-Field, but displayed her talent by heading the ball on five of seven corner kicks. “She’s relentless, and she’s fearless and also the nicest person that you’ll ever meet,” said coach Kim Spindler.

Battlefield softball wins 10-0

Megan Webb pitched a two-hitter and added two doubles to lead Battlefield to a 10-0 softball win Friday

By Noah Fleischman Special to the Times

By Jeff Malmgren Four different Brentsville players scored two goals each Friday to give the Tigers their biggest girls soccer victory of the season.

The undefeated Tigers improved to 9-0 by defeating the Manassas Park Cougars, 9-0, at home in Nokesville during a Senior Night that honored Abby Isaac, Calah Puryear, Alexis Rhatican, Ellie Wilkins, Taylor Covington, Kallyn Maddox, Emily Reighard, Morgan Pettit and Charlotte Davis.

Brentsville remained atop the Class 3 Northwestern District standings with a 3-0 record.

They’ve scored 35 unanswered goals in their last eight games. Manassas Park, meanwhile, fell to 0-10-1 during a game ended 20 minutes early due to eight-goal mercy rule.

Scoring two goals each were Reighard, Rhatican, Catharine Forst and Jackie Nguyen, while Maria Mendo had one.

Four first-inning runs helped the Brentsville Tigers overpower host Manassas Park, 12-1, Friday night, extending the Tigers’ baseball winning streak to six games.

The Tigers have been red hot, winning eight of their last nine and outscoring opponents 46-7, including two shutouts.

Brentsville is 9-5 and 4-0 in the Northwestern District in Class 3.

The Cougars fell to 2-9.

“I think a large reason for our success lately is our bats,” said pitcher Vince DiMauro. “We’ve been hitting the ball well these past six games and we’ve been playing great defense.”

Sam Beard led off the game with a double, and scored on the next play as Billy Hoad attempted to bunt for a base hit and the Cougar catcher overthrew the first baseman. Both runners scored on the four-base error for a 2-0 lead.

Alex Seymour swung at the first pitch he saw and sent it into the right center field gap for a stand-up triple. On the next pitch, Garrett Cornell hit an RBI double.

Cornell was driven in by Collin Reid later in the inning to make it 4-0. Reid finished 2-for-3. “[The dugout was] extremely hyped [in the first inning], but it came to no surprise because we expected our bats to be hot,” said Cornell. “Everyone is hitting good right now and we are getting into a rhythm at the right time.”

DiMauro pitched six innings, allowing one run on six hits. He also struck out six and walked two.

SOCCER, from Page 13 “In this district, a lot of times the name ‘Woodbridge’ is scary for a lot of the girls,” Indians coach Bethany Kent said. “It being the rival school here [at Gar-Field], there’s definitely a mental element that comes into this game.”

The Vikings finished with their fifth consecutive shutout Thursday.

Finken, an outside back, helped anchor the Woodbridge defense along with freshman Liliana Payne (outside back), sophomore Stephanie Morgan (center back) and senior Miranda Choplin (center back).

Finken is the lone returning starter on that unit, yet she joined Disney and Spindler in crediting goalkeeper Zoe Doughty for the Vikings’ defensive success.

“Zoe is amazing,” Finken said.

“She’s the star,” Disney said.

“MVP every game.”

Doughty, who has verbally committed to College of William & Mary, had six saves on nine GarField shots (six on goal).

“She communicates so effectively with [the backs], and so positively,” Spindler said. “They know exactly where they need to be. She sees the field so well.”

Offensively, Vikings twice hit the crossbar and once hit the right post, but they also struck a bunch of balls directly at Indians goalkeeper Ashley Viera.

“That is our one big failure,” Finken said. “We can move the ball around as much as [imaginable], but we just can’t shoot.”

“The goals will come,” Spindler said. “They’ve probably heard me say that 15 times.”

Turnout in town elections tops expectations Occoquan reports record 35-percent turnout May 1

By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer

Prince William County’s turnout in the May 1 town elections was higher than expected and reached a record in Occoquan.

The river town had the highest turnout of Prince William’s four small municipalities, at 35 percent. Turnout was 34 percent in Quantico; 20 percent in Dumfries; and 15 percent in Haymarket, according to the Prince William County Office of Elections.

All were higher than projected.

“I figured 10 percent,” said Matthew Wilson, spokesman for the Prince William County Office of Elections. “Maybe 10 to 20.”

It’s hard to say exactly what brought more people to the polls last week, but Wilson said the ballots seemed to have more names on them than in town elections two years ago.

And with more names on the ballot, turnout seems to see an uptick.

Also, it certainly didn’t hurt that it was sunny May 1, with temperatures in the 70s.

“It was a nice day,” Wilson said.

The 35-percent figure, as well as the number of voters, 275, were records for Occoquan, at least in recent history, said Mayor Elizabeth Quist, who didn’t seek re-election.

In 2010, for example, 120 voters marked ballots to pick town leaders in Occoquan, which made for a 19 percent turnout. In 2012, there were only 96 voters, Quist said.

But those numbers grew to 257 voters and 34-percent turnout by 2016.

The difference in that election

and in this year’s elections may have been a special election newsletter the town sent to every post-office box in Occoquan, which doesn’t have doorto-door mail delivery.

“We just tried to really get the word out to try and improve voter turnout,” Quist said.

Like Wilson, she said having a full ballot probably aided turnout, as well. There was a race for mayor — former mayor Earnie Porta defeated Steven Vonderheide — and eight See ELECTIONS, Page 5

County to spend $500,000 to hire retired police

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, Sen. Tim Kaine gave Forest Park High School teacher Shannon Geraghty a break Monday, May 7, when he stepped in to teach her Advanced Placement U.S. Government classes.

A recently funded pilot program to employ retired law-enforcement officers as armed security guards in Prince William schools is getting high marks from county school board members.

State law allows school divisions to hire retired police officers to serve as armed guards provided they meet certain criteria, including that they retire within the past 10 years. The Prince William Board of Supervisors wanted to explore the measure in light of incidents of school violence around the nation.

They allocated $500,000 for the pilot program in the county budget for the next fiscal year that was approved April 24.

The program, as county police Chief Barry Barnard has outlined, would begin with five security officers and a supervisor and then could be expanded later.
