Concerns about a Minnieland Academy teacher arrested this month for inappropriately touching four 5-year-olds in his care date back to October 2016, and charges

four counts of aggravated sexual battery, four counts of object sexual penetration and four counts of indecent liberties by a custodian. Detectives from the Prince William County Police Department’s Special Victims Bureau and the Virginia Department of Social

Services began an investigation March 27 into an allegation that Boykin “inappropriately touched” a 5-year-old girl at Minnieland Academy, 10368 Bristow Center Drive in Bristow, on March 26, See TEACHER, Page 2

and said there were no eyewitnesses, no physical evidence and no video evidence of the alleged incidents, though the day care center is equipped Taylor Keith with video cameras. Boykin In charging documents, detectives wrote that Boykin admitted to pulling down the victims’ pants and underwear and touching them on several occasions. Boykin was the victims’ junior kindergarten teacher, the charging documents state. But Jenkins said his client “denies making statements that amount to a confession or an admission of anything.” Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Lauren Pomerantz, however, said during the court hearing that Boykin did confess to the incidents in an interview with police that was videotaped. During that interview, Boykin also wrote letters of apology to the victims, indicated on a di-

agram where he touched the victims, and, at detectives’ request, wrote a list of the students in his classroom, circling the names of students “that police should be concerned about,” Pomerantz said. Video cameras in the day care center do not record anything, but police are still sorting through other evidence, including images found on Boykin’s cell phone, which he voluntarily turned over to police, Pomerantz said.

Police recovered several images on Boykin’s phone of not-yet-identified children on the slide at the Minnieland Academy “in various states of undress.” There had been concerns about Boykin at the day care since October 2016, when a child first came forward to report an incident involving Boykin. At that time, the day care center director “sought to allay the family’s

concerns,” Pomerantz said. “But as it turns out, the concerns were founded.” It was not clear Monday how or to whom that incident was reported. The charges filed against Boykin to date involve four children, but additional charges are likely, prosecutors said. “At this point, additional charges are forthcoming,” Pomerantz said. Parents of Minnieland Academy filled several rows of the courtroom Monday. After the hearing, most parents in attendance declined to comment. “It’s just worse than we anticipated, I’ll say that,” said one woman who declined to give her name. “Today is a very difficult day. I’ll just put it that way,” said another woman. In denying Boykin’s bond, Smith said he felt Boykin would be a continuing danger to the community if released and that he could be a flight risk.

KKK pamphlets turn up in Triangle

on the lawns of several houses in the area, Prince William County police spokesman Nathan Probus said in a news release. A caller told police they found a bag on their front lawn “that contained birdseed and the pamphlets, which appeared to be recruiting material for the Ku Klux Klan [that] included anti-Semitic and anti-African-American verbiage,” Probus said in the news release. Police canvassed the neighborhood and learned multiple bags were

found over the previous two days. The bags “were seemingly thrown at random,” landing on front lawns and walks. “Some were found on the property of African-American residents,” the press release said. The bird seed was apparently used to weigh down the bags, and police think they were thrown from a vehicle, although there were no reports of suspicious vehicles or suspicious people seen in the area, police said. No property damage was reported. The police investigation continues.

Prince William County police said in a news release. The girl told a parent about the incident, and the parent then notified the center, police 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. During the investigation, police identified three more victims, all 5-year-old girls, police said. All of the victims were sexually assaulted by the suspect sometime since March 2017, the police news release said.

Prosecutor: Day care video cameras don’t record

At the bond hearing, defense attorney Robert Jenkins asked the judge to release Boykin on bond and electronic monitoring. Jenkins characterized the allegations against Boykin as “uncorroborated”

County steps up efforts against opioid abuse By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer

The new budget that Prince William County supervisors approved last week will enhance the way the locality offers services to those with substance-abuse disorders, according to an official with the Community Services Board. Supervisors approved a $3.1 billion budget April 24 that adds $430,000 to combat substance abuse, including opioid use. That money will allow Community Services to do several things, said Jim Fleming, director of the agency’s administrative division. For one, Community Services will be able to serve 100 more people a year, going from the current 800 who are receiving treatment to 900. The organization should be able to eliminate its waiting list for substance-abuse help that usually stands at about 70 adults. The Community Services Board will also increase the number of slots for medication-assisted treatment, from 49 to 82, Fleming said.

The budget initiative will also allow Community Services to place 50 additional clients in residential treatment with private providers: 105 people are placed right now, and that figure will go up to 155. The money will also add three additional full-time counselors to help those suffering from addiction. “This is a really big step forward for us,” Fleming said. Despite this good news, the agency, which also serves Manassas and Manassas Park, still faces challenges, especially with regard to opioid use. The overall increase in opioid use is one, which can be fatal. In Prince William County, for example, 49 overdose deaths were attributed to opioids in 2017, equaling the figure from the year before, according to Virginia Department of Health figures. In Manassas, 12 overdose deaths were due to opioids last year, up from seven in 2016. And, in Manassas Park, there were four opioid overdose deaths in 2017, up from one in the previous year.

Also, from January through March this year, there were 61 emergency-room visits for unintentional overdose by opioid or an unspecified substance in the Prince William region, according to a Health Department report, and at least 10 emergency visits for unintentional overdose by heroin. Another challenge is getting the word out about the dangers of drug use, Fleming said. “We are working on the prevention side, too,” he said. Prevention activities include summer programming focused in areas with high numbers of at-risk youth and Revive! training, which is available to the community and specific groups. The latter offers the knowledge, skills and tools to administer the drug naloxone to prevent overdose deaths. Participants learn about opiates, opioid addiction, types of naloxone and rescue breathing. The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services also has provided Community Services with one-time funding of $60,000 to focus on prevention activ-

Funding boosts effort to combat opioid abuse

The new Prince William County budget devotes $430,000 in new funding to combat substance-use disorders. The funding is planned to: • Add 3 new counselors • Boost residential-treatment slots from 105 to 155 • Boost medical-assisted treatment slots from 49 to 82 Source: Prince William County Community Services Board

ities related to opiates, Fleming said. Those funds are being spent on activities including: Social marketing campaigns, targeted messaging and prescriber/patient education to heighten community awareness and education. Four community events to continue educating and raising awareness. The purchase of prescription-bag labels and drug deactivation kits for dispersal at drug take-back events and prescriber locations.

Supervisors nix Stewart’s tax hike on data centers $3.1B budget fully funds schools, boosts spending on police, fire

By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer

Prince William supervisors approved a $3.1 billion county budget last week that did not include a controversial hike in what’s become known as the “technology tax.” Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, had proposed nearly tripling the property tax rate on “programmable computer equipment,” a move primarily aimed at data centers, in the fiscal year that begins July 1. But his peers opted to keep that rate, as well as the general real-estate tax rate, the same as they are now. They did, however, increase the county fire levy from $0.0792 to $0.08 per $100 in assessed value. The changes came during a meeting that saw more than three hours of discussion and a dizzying set of proposals, tie votes and two short recesses. Stewart wanted to take the computer equipment tax from $1.25 per $100 in assessed value to $3.70 per $100, or equal to the personal property tax rate residents pay for their cars and trucks. The county decreased the rate more than 20 years ago to draw hightech firms, and later data centers, to Prince William. Stewart figured the

market no longer needed that incentive, so he wanted to bring the rate back up. But some supervisors, as well as data center and business community advocates, railed against the idea. The board ended up voting 6 to 2 April 24 to keep the tax rate as-is. Stewart said it was a win for the data centers and a “loss for the citizens of the county.” “The tax break for big data continues, you know, unfortunately,” said the chairman, who with Supervisor John Jenkins, D-Neabsco, cast the dissenting votes. Board Vice Chairman Marty Nohe, R-Coles, however, was pleased. He has said raising business taxes doesn’t jibe with the county’s quest to boost commerce. “I think that shows that the board is committed to growing our economic base in this county and understands that we can’t make rash decisions without understanding their long-term ramifications,” Nohe said.

Budget keeps real-estate tax rate flat

The supervisors voted to maintain the current real-estate tax rate of $1.125 per $100 in assessed value. Average annual tax bills will still rise, however, thanks to rising real-estate

values and the fire-levy increase. The average real-estate tax bill increase is now projected at $132 for fiscal 2019. That’s $14 less than the $146 hike County Executive Chris Martino projected under his budget, which would have raised the fire levy to $0.0837. Supervisors opted for a smaller increase, boosting the current $0.0792 fire levy to $0.08. The fire-levy vote came after a long discussion about how best to staff emergency services and how volunteer fire-and-rescue organizations fit into that scenario. The vote was 5 to 3, with Stewart and Supervisors Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, and Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, dissenting. The budget also provides a 3-percent raise for all county employees and an extra 5 percent, or about $5.2 million, to the police department budget, and an extra 10.7 percent, or $9.7 million, to the fire and rescue department budget. Both departments will add positions and institute new pay scales aimed at reducing pay “compression” issues that resulted from limited pay increases during the Great Recession. More than $3 million will go toward addressing the issue in the next fiscal year. Martino made the county’s police and fire departments a focus of his

budget proposal after a recent study blamed the county’s officer-turnover rate, the highest in Northern Virginia, on lagging pay.

Budget fully funds schools, but not teacher COLAs

The new budget fully funds the county’s portion of the school-division spending plan for next school year. The supervisors also renewed their annual, $1 million class-size reduction grant and provided an extra $888,694 in debt service for the 13th high school, which will open in western Prince William in 2021. The supervisors opted not to add money for teacher cost-of-living increases, an issue that brought several teachers to board meetings over the last few weeks. But they earmarked $500,000 for a pilot program to add five armed security guards for Prince William schools. A 2017 state law allows school divisions to hire retired police officers as armed guards if they meet certain criteria. The school board will have the final say on whether the program is implemented.

Porta returns as Occoquan mayor, Wood wins top post in Dumfries

MAYORS from page 1

Also up for grabs was the seat held by Brenda Via, who had previously served on the council and was appointed back to serve out Bill Murphy’s term after he died in February 2017. The three winners were newcomers Monae Nickerson with 341 votes, Selonia Miles with 300 votes and Cydny Neville with 271. Via received 177 votes, Tyrone Brown, 175 and James Turner 151. “I’m in a state of shock,” Wood said after the results were tallied. “The people came out. They showed up and it feels good that you put the work in and the people heard it. Cliff Brewer ran a nice clean race. We still have two years to work together, and I’m looking forward to that.” Said Brewer: “It’s disappointing, but it is what it is.” Voter participation for the race was expected to be about 10 percent of the 2,715 registered voters in the town, or about 270 voters. While official election figures were unavailable at press time, Wood, who talked to voting officials at the Dumfries polling site, said 531 residents voted. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Mel Bray, former mayor and two-term councilman in Dumfries, who stopped by to see old friends on Election Day. He now lives in Woodbridge, so he wasn’t voting. Others pointed out that a typical

Dumfries election would draw 250350 voters. There were nearly 200 voters by late morning. Wood said he focused his campaigning on getting residents – especially millennials – out to vote. “It impacts everything, roads, businesses, public safety,” he said of the town council.

Occoquan

In Occoquan, Earnie Porta was elected to a fifth two-year term as mayor after previously serving from 2006 to 2014. Porta defeated Steven Vonderheide, 216 votes to 57 votes, according to unofficial results. Porta, 54, attributed his win to former voters remembering him and his efforts to engage with new folk. “It’s a real honor,” he said of his win. “I’m glad they had faith in me.” The mayor’s job was open because the current officeholder, Elizabeth Quist, didn’t seek another term. Tuesday’s result brings Porta back to the winning side of an election after an unsuccessful 2015 bid for the Prince William Board of Supervisors. Running as a Democrat, he lost to now-Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan. He ran for the mayor’s post as an independent, as town councils are officially nonpartisan. Vonderheide, a defense contractor, also ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the town council in 2014 and 2016.

In the race for seats on the town council, incumbents Cindy Fithian (213 votes), Patrick Sivigny (159 votes), and J. Matthew Dawson (145 votes) were re-elected, and they will be joined on council by newcomers Laurie Holloway (187 votes) and Eliot Perkins (161 votes). Incumbent Joe McGuire (96 votes) and newcomers Krystyna Bienia (90 votes) and Johnathan Torres (140 votes) were defeated. Tuesday afternoon, the scene outside Occoquan’s polling place, Town Hall, was more like a backyard barbecue than a political gridiron. You wouldn’t have known an election was going on if not for the campaign signs. Porta and Vonderheide were milling around waiting for voters as were incumbent Fithian and challengers Holloway, Perkins and Torres. They all were friendly with each other, and they chatted about everything from books to tomatoes to what part of Florida is the best. “We’re a modern-day Mayberry,” said Fithian. “I love it. I love living here.” Some of the hopefuls even made fun of Sivigny for wearing shorts when he arrived — though the temperature was in the 70s. Sivigny was notable for another clothing item, too: his campaign T-shirt. Supporter Ken Brunsvold, himself a former Occoquan coun-

In Quantico, Mayor Kevin Brown defeated challenger Peggy Alexander 68 votes to 42 votes to win a fourth two-year term, according to unofficial results. Brown, 45, said he is excited about working with his fellow incumbents again but he acknowledged that Alexander, a leader who has lived in town longer than he has, gave him a good fight. “I’ll be honest with you,” he said, “it was a little bit closer than I expected.” In the race for seats on the town council, incumbents Tom Davis (72 votes), Russell V. “Rusty” Kuhns (61 votes), Earlene Clinton (61 votes), Robin Langham (58 votes), were re-elected.

cilman, sported just such a walking billboard for Sivigny as he hung out in front of Town Hall. It said, “Don’t Be a Weenie/Vote For Sivigny.”

According to unofficial results Tuesday, Susan Edwards, Connor Leake and Steve Shannon were positioned to return as members of the Haymarket Town Council. Newcomers Bond Cavazos, Robert T. Day and Madhu Panthi were likely to join them. Tracy Lynn Pater, a seventh candidate running for one of six council seats, trailed the pack. David Leake was unopposed on the ballot to return as mayor. As of 9 p.m., he had 107 votes and there were 25 write-in votes. In the council races, the candidates had the following totals with half the precincts reporting: Shannon 124 votes; Edwards 119, Panthi 119, Day 111, Cavazos 110, C o n n o r Leake 92, Pater 67 and 26 write-ins. Three incumbents—John Cole, Joseph Pasanello and Chris Morris— did not run this year. The mayor and council members serve two-year terms. The new terms begin July 1. Edwards, a Haymarket resident for 22 years, has been on council for six years and on the architectural review board for seven. She said prior to the election that progress had been made on maintaining sidewalks, crosswalks and lighting, an issue she said was of particular importance to her. Cavazos is a real estate agent with The Bill Denny Group of Long & Foster Real Estate. She said before

the election 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 serves on the town’s architectural review board. Panthi immigrated from Nepal 18 years ago and has lived in Haymarket since 2014. He’s the supervising administrator for four health care facilities. Panthi serves on the planning commission and the architectural review board. “During my time on these committees,” Panthi said, “I have upheld the principles of the town of Haymarket—openness, integrity and honesty—and will continue to do so as part of the town council. 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.” Connor Leake, 28 and the son of Mayor David Leake, is a commercial real estate agent and new business developer with Capital Group Benefits. Leake is finishing his first term on council and said he believes the development of local business is essential for Haymarket’s success. He said he’d work to complete the town municipal center’s renovation and Haymarket Community Park. Contact James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

School division letter about embattled principal sparks new criticism By Jonathan Hunley and Jill Palermo

Former Ronald Reagan Middle School Principal Alfie Turner addressed her critics during a meeting of the Prince William County School Board on March 7, 2018.

Times Staff Writers

Despite sharp criticism from some teachers and elected officials, Prince William County School division leaders are standing by a controversial letter that blamed “a relatively small group of discontented faculty members” for raising concerns about former Ronald Reagan Middle School Principal Alfie Turner, who has been accused of bullying and overbearing tactics by current and former teachers under her supervision. Turner will not return to Reagan Middle School but will instead take a human resources post at the school division’s central office, according to the letter, which was emailed to the Haymarket school community April 27 and signed by William Bixby, the school division’s associate superintendent for middle schools. Bixby’s letter sparked a new round of outrage from those who said they objected to its tone as well as its characterization of Turner’s critics as a small group of teachers who “resisted changes in management and accountability measures and enlisted parents and social media in a public campaign to undermine the administration.” Bixby’s note also elicited quick and sharp responses from western Prince William County elected officials. On Facebook, School Board members Alyson Satterwhite (Gainesville) and Gil Trenum (Brentsville) both

said they had to “distance” themselves from the letter, which Trenum called “not helpful” and Satterwhite deemed “unacceptable.” The Prince William Education Association, meanwhile, announced rally outside the school board meeting May 2, to express its disapproval. PWEA president Riley O’Casey Monday called Bixby’s letter “inappropriate, inaccurate” and “another form of bullying and intimidation.” “What we want the school division to understand is that their response was inappropriate,” O’Casey said. “They need to stop reassigning [administrators] up to central office, and they need to admit they have a problem. And they’re not doing it.”

Complaints first surfaced in February

The PWEA has stood by several teachers who publicly complained over the last several months about what they called a “toxic” work environment at Reagan Middle School and two other schools Turner previously led. The complaints were first made public during a February school

board meeting when several teachers spoke out about Turner’s harsh leadership tactics. Turner spoke publicly at a March 7 school board meeting to denounce her critics, saying they were based on misconceptions and “vicious and slanderous attacks.” In his letter, Bixby said he could not share the full findings of a now-complete independent investigation launched by the school division, but noted the review included interviews with 89 of the school’s 128 teachers and staff. Less than a quarter, he wrote, said they’d seen or felt “intimidation, bullying and unfair targeting by the principal.” O’Casey said the investigation missed the mark on the teachers’ feelings because many were afraid to speak with the investigator. “They were intimidated,” O’Casey said of the teachers. “In general, they don’t want to lose their jobs and are scared to death.” On Monday, Prince William Associate Superintendent for Communications and Technology Phil Kavits said the division “remains committed” to plans to reassign Turner to the HR post. Retired Principal Roger Dallek has since taken the helm of the school. Kavits said the plans are meant to serve “the best interests of the students, staff and community.” In response to a question about why Turner was reassigned to an HR position given the teachers’ complaints about her handling of staffing

issues, Kavits said Turner’s responsibilities would be different than that of a principal.

Elected officials’ responses mixed

Some elected officials issued their own criticism of the letter while others stayed mum. Satterwhite, Trenum and School Board member Willie Deutsch (Coles) said the letter didn’t match what the school board heard about the investigation in closed session April 18. “While the School Board received a full and balanced report, [Friday’s] message selectively shared one side of the report,” Satterwhite wrote on her Facebook page. “This type of miscommunication at a time when we are trying to improve a situation leads to misunderstanding and problems between the division and community.” Interim School Board Chairman Babur Lateef said Monday he didn’t know enough about the situation to comment, but said he would do what he can “to make sure everyone is heard.” Gainesville District County Supervisor Pete Candland’s rebuke was perhaps the sharpest. “I think they’ve completely mishandled the situation,” Candland said of the school administration Monday. Meanwhile, Neabsco Representative Diane Raulston said she’s not sure what to think, other than that someone is likely to be unhappy with the outcome. Mainly, she said, the situation has caused anger. “That much I am sure of,” she said.

Prince William schools announce 30-minute recess next year By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County elementary schools will double their required recess time from 15 to 30 minutes next school year, the school division announced Friday. The move comes after the Virginia General Assembly voted earlier this year to change Virginia law to allow public schools to count time spent in unstructured recess as part of the instructional time mandated by state law. Several Prince William County parents lobbied state legislators to make the change, led by Lake Ridge mom Barbara Larrimore. The law takes effect July 1. In Prince William’s more than 60 elementary schools, recess time had been dictated by a regulation that had set aside 30 minutes for lunch and 15 minutes for recess daily while mandating a certain number of minutes for instruction in reading, math, science, social studies and “encore” classes, such as art and music. Friday’s announcement said the schools will now be required to fit in at least 20 minutes of recess for students either before or after lunch as well as 10 more minutes taken at individual schools’ discretion. “We’ve long understood the benefits of exercise and unstructured activity for student learning, health and well-being,” Superintendent Steve Walts said in the announcement. “This new law means we’re free to build those benefits into the daily in-

structional time that Virginia requires.” Interim School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef said Friday evening he had not yet heard of the change but called the announcement “exciting.” Lateef is a father of four Prince William County school students who was appointed to the chairman’s post April 18. He said he’s been told 30-minute recess is already the routine at some county elementary schools, but he said the new requirement for at least that much recess at all schools is a positive step. “This was brought about by the activism of our ‘Recess Mom’ and all the other folks who lobbied in Richmond,” Lateef said. “I think it’s a good thing.” It’s not yet clear where the schools will extract the extra 15 minutes from the proscribed minutes of instructional time. Larrimore, who is also known by the nickname “Recess Mom” for her activism on the issue, said she was still reviewing the new regulation Friday

and is hoping for more details on exactly how the change would affect students’ daily routines. “What I wanted was for them to raise the floor, to require every school to raise the floor,” Larrimore said, noting the 30-minute requirement appears to be a positive step. “I wish it were guaranteed outdoor time, but I guess it’s still unstructured.” The Prince William School Board had not yet formally addressed extending recess time, but discussions on the topic were happening behind the scenes, said School Board member Willie Deutsch, who represents the Coles District. Because school division regulations can be changed by the superintendent unilaterally, the change does not require the school board’s approval. The school board is charged with adopting school board policies, which are then implemented through the superintendent’s regulations. Deutsch said he considered the change positive. He noted the new state law now gives schools the flexibility to have more than 40 minutes of recess a day but said school board members had informally discussed a 30-minute floor. “I think 30 minutes gives a good foundation. Doubling it to 30 minutes a day is a significant improvement,” Deutsch said. “As long as it’s getting implemented across the school division, it’s good.” Prince William County Schools’ two regulations that affect recess are the Wellness Plan and the Elementary Instructional Day.

OBITUARIES Sheryl Gaye Desper Mrs. Sheryl Gaye Desper (born Campbell), of Marshall, VA, passed to the other side of the veil on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at the age of 63 after an extended and courageous battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and complications from chemotherapy. Sheryl was born to parents Paul Lowren Campbell and Sylvia Marie Cubbage on September 7, 1954 in Luray, VA. She grew up as the eldest of three children and graduated from high school in Seat Pleasant, MD. She married her neighborhood sweetheart on April 18, 1973 (45 years), and together they raised two children. Sheryl went to work after her children started school and she enjoyed working in customer service. She retired for medical reasons in 2004 from Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative in Manassas, VA. Sheryl had a beautiful smile and it was easy to have a conversation with her. Along with her tenacity, she was best known for her love and dedication to her family. She attended to the needs of her family, both immediate and extended, with motherly love. She was the one family turned to and counted on when in need. Her family often sought her opinions and knowledge and if she did not know it, she would look it up and read about it. Her family teased her about being a self taught doctor because of all the reading she did for her own numerous medical problems. Sheryl loved her pets and considered them part of the family. Her favorite breed of dog was the rottweiler. Sheryl is survived by her husband, Audie “Gary” Wayne Desper; her son, Gary Wayne Desper (Chantal Muncey Desper) of Westminster, MD; her daughter, Lisa Marie Evans (Mark Evans) of Culpeper, VA; her granddaughters, Sylvia Desper, Jocelyn Desper and Caroline Desper; her grandsons, Garrison Kent Desper and Charles Evans; her brother, Darrell Keith Campbell (Rhonda Campbell) of Luray, VA; her sister, Cynthia “Cindy” Dawn Rice (Mark Rice) of Virginia Beach, VA; five nieces and four nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents. A memorial service to celebrate Sheryl’s life will be held on Saturday, May 5, 2018 at Noon at Leake’s Chapel Church of the Brethren located at 2334 Honeyville Road, Stanley, VA 22851. Attendees are requested to wear something purple as that was Sheryl’s favorite color. Family and friends will gather for a meal in the church hall immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Sheryl’s name to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (www.lls.org), or the Humane Society where you live. Condolences may be sent to the family care of 43 North Court Street, Westminster, MD 21157. Sheryl’s cremains will be inurned at a later date in private in Shutterle Community Cemetery, Luck Stone Road, Churchville, VA.

Harold Gene Putt Harold Gene Putt, 70, of Warrenton, Va., passed away March 31st at Hospice of the Piedmont in Charlottesville, Va., after complications from esophageal cancer. Harold was born in East Liverpool, Ohio on January 26, 1948. His life’s love and work was the game of golf beginning in high school with many trophies. He began his professional golf career as assistant pro in Wisconsin then at Bethesda Country Club in Maryland. Harold was an excellent golfer and earned popularity and notoriety in the golf industry. He taught golf lessons to renowned people, including former president, Gerald Ford. He successfully took part in innumerable golf tournaments and his career naturally expanded into golf sales with the FootJoy Titleist Co., where he was employed close to 30 years. He settled and lived in Richmond, Va., traveling extensively up and down the east coast, earning top FootJoy Salesman year after year. He was well-known in the golf business and well-respected due to his great playing ability. He was a member of the PGA. His personal highlight was a hole-in-one at the island green at TPC Sawgrass in Florida, and shot under-par (including another hole-in-one) on his last round of golf in 2013. Harold was vibrant, full of laughter, the life of the party, and an amazing piano player, often being asked in social settings to play songs like “Boogie Woogie.” His long list of friendships were the core of his being, but he maintained his true foursome for over 60 years, namely “The Ohio Boys.” They routinely played golf together and maintained a pure, lifelong friendship. Harold’s career was completed the last decade, where he lived as sales agent for Weichert Realtors in Warrenton, Va. He is survived by his three children, Heidi, Shannon, and Jason from his marriage to Pamela LeMasters; his two siblings, MaryJane Tickner and Bob Putt of Texas; ten grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank all the medical staff who helped care for Harold along his journey, including Livin-Rite, Culpeper Medical, Brookside at Warrenton, UVA Vascular ICU and Hospice of the Piedmont. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Harold’s memory to the firsttee.org. Please visit www.legacy.com for his memorial page and plans for his Pub Memorial.

COUNTDOWN TO THE POSTSEASON

THAT UNSTOPPABLE PATRIOT OFFENSE Undefeated Pioneer girls continue to blow out rivals By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Playing for an undefeated soccer team that averages 5.2 goals per game by dominating possession can breed boredom for a center back. That said, Patriot fourth-year starting center back Amber DiOrio is enjoying the view. “I love seeing my teammates play amazing and score,” said the senior after last Thursday’s 8-0 win at Stonewall Jackson. “It’s great. I really like seeing people score who don’t [usually] score.” A handful of unlikely scorers have helped the Pioneers go 13-0 and secure the Cedar Run District lead with a 7-0 mark, including an 8-0 win over Osbourn on Monday. Incredibly, Patriot has 15 players with at least one goal, including three double-digit scorers. The Pioneers’ offense surprisingly hasn’t suffered after losing prolific Amanda Nhek (George Mason University), who graduated from Patriot with a program-record 107 career goals, including 39 in 2017. Abbey Duncan, Helena Spencer and Courtney Ellis have already combined to nearly match that total. Duncan scored one goal Thursday to maintain her team-lead with 11 goals (excluding the subsequent game Monday), while Spencer bumped her total to 10 with three goals against Stonewall (1-8 overall, 0-4 district), and Ellis also scored her 10th goal of the season. “We have so many dangerous threats on the field this year,” said Pioneers coach Kelly Beauchamp-Payne, whose team has outscored its opponents, 70-7, this season. “The wealth is more spread than it has been in the years past.” Last season, despite Nhek’s excellence, Patriot finished as the Conference 8 runner-up. The Pioneers also lost in the first round of the Class 6A North Region playoffs and finished 14-4. Then they lost five all-conference players prior to this season. “We did lose people, but we gained amazing players,” DiOrio said. “That’s a really big difference.” Patriot’s varsity newcomers include freshmen outside back starters Cassidy Duncan and Soleil Brown, as well as Spencer, a junior forward who is a transfer student from California. Spencer not only led the Pioneers in scoring Thursday, she also finished with a game-high two assists. “She’s unbelievable,” DiOrio said while extolling Spencer’s speed and prowess for crossing the ball. “We watch her from the back and it’s just

The Pioneers host North Stafford Wednesday at 7 p.m. and local rival Battlefield on May 7. amazing. The things she does [are] completely unbelievable.” Spencer had a serendipitous arrival at Patriot after her father’s military career moved her across the country. “They’ve been really open and encouraging,” Spencer said of the Pioneers. “It’s really helped my self-confidence with moving and having to adjust. It’s been really great.” Spencer plays up top on a wing with Duncan as Patriot’s lead forward in the center. Duncan, a senior, last played for the Pioneers as a freshman in 2015. She abandoned soccer during her sophomore and junior years to concentrate on academics, Beauchamp-Payne said. “But this year she’s back,” the coach said with a smile. “Because she’s playing with her little sister.” Despite playing largely as an outside back, the younger Duncan sister, Cassidy, had three assists and two goals entering Monday, while Abbey Duncan had a team-high seven assists, along

with her 11 goals. They were among the 12 Patriot players with multiple goals this season. “It’s really exciting to watch and coach because you can’t just shut down one player,” Beauchamp-Payne said. “You have to shut down 10 that are coming at you.” Scoring one goal each Thursday were senior midfielders Hailey Price and Ashley Brumagim, as well as sophomore midfielder Christina Flores, who came off the bench. Flores, a first-year varsity player, added one assist while creating other scoring opportunities. With all that talent, the Pioneers hope to earn their first state berth in program history. “We’re definitely motivated to go all the way,” DiOrio said. The Pioneers’ postseason peak came in 2015 with a loss in the region semifinals after they won the Conference 8 (also known as the Cedar Run District) regular season

championship. Patriot followed that with a tournament title in 2016, then finished as the tournament and regular season runner-up to Battlefield. “Hopefully this year will be the third” district/conference championship, Beauchamp-Payne said. “I really believe in this group of girls. “They are workers, they are competitors and they are relentless with what they want to pursue,” she said. “I really think this team has what it takes to go farther than we’ve ever gone before.” The Pioneers certainly looked good Thursday, out-shooting the Raiders, 38-0, en route to ending the game 20 minutes early due to the eight-goal mercy rule. “The calmness is key, and a lot of that comes from Amber DiOrio in the back,” Beauchamp-Payne said. “She is our general. Her and [fellow senior center back] Kaelyn Loague; together they kind on anchor us.”

Bobcats go toe-to-toe with nation’s No. 2 team

Battlefield baseball loses to Riverdale, 4-2 By Noah Fleischman Special to the Times

If you didn’t know which team was ranked, could you have known the difference? The Battlefield Bobcats fell to visiting national power Riverdale Baptist of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, 4-2, last Thursday in a game that featured strong pitching on both sides. Ranked No. 2 in the USA TODAY rankings, Riverdale (26-1) pulled out the win in Haymarket thanks to some late mistakes by the Bobcats. “I thought we played well against a very good disciplined team. We just didn’t finish two innings,” said Battlefield coach Jay Burkhart. Despite the loss, the Bobcats gained potentially valuable experience, which could help them in the postseason. Battlefield is 12-4 and leads the Cedar Run District at 4-0 with games this week against Stonewall Jackson (Tuesday), Osbourn (Wednesday, home) and Osbourn Park (Friday, home, Senior Night). Riverdale was led by University of Dayton recruit Ben Blackwell, who started and went 4 1/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits. He struck out seven Bobcats and walked none. Casey Rosenthal started for Battlefield and went 2 2/3 innings. He allowed one hit and had three strikeouts.

Next up for Battlefield was East Carolina recruit Zach Agnos, who threw 2 1/3 innings, allowing two hits and one unearned run. He had four strikeouts and one walk. Bobcat Jake Michna entered in the sixth inning and struck out two batters. He also walked two batters, then threw a wild pitch, allowing Riverdale Baptist to take a 3-1 lead. J.T. McGuire relieved Michna with runners on the corners and two outs. McGuire threw a wild pitch allowing another Crusader to cross home plate. McGuire then ended the inning with a strikeout. “When you strike out 12 for the night and allow three hits, you’re getting it done on the mound,” said Battlefield’s Burkhart. Riverdale Baptist’s top four hitters went 1-for-9 with eight strikeouts. Austin Estridge led the Bobcats at the plate, going 1-for-3 with a leadoff double in the fifth inning. His courtesy runner, Jaime Garrison, scored Battlefield’s first run.

The Washington Redskins appear to like football players from Prince William County, and so do the Detroit Lions. The Redskins selected Stonewall Jackson High graduate Tim Settle (Virginia Tech defensive lineman) in the fifth round with the No. 163 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft on Saturday. The Redskins also selected Stonewall graduate Greg Stroman (Virginia Tech defensive back) in the seventh round with the No. 241 overall pick. Plus, Washington invited Hylton graduate Chris Lee (Norfolk State defensive lineman) to its rookie mini-camp May 11-13. A solid performance could land Lee an invite to training camp. The Lions selected Woodbridge High graduate Da’Shawn Hand (Alabama defensive lineman) in the fourth round with the No. 114 overall pick.

Hylton softball beats Colgan 8-4

Grace Lutz hit a home run and had three RBIs, and Corinne Knapp also had three hits, as the Hylton softball team defeated Colgan, 8-4, in a key Cardinal District clash. Kiaya Jeusi pitched a complete game for the Bulldogs, striking out seven and allowing three hits and five walks. Hylton improved to 11-4 overall and 5-2 in the Cardinal District, while the Sharks fell to 7-4 and 6-2.

Patriot baseball wins 8-3

Patriot’s Michael Fyvie delivered four hits and Luke Basler pitched a complete game in an 8-3 win over Osbourn Park. Patriot (9-6 overall, 3-2 Cedar Run District) scored in five of the game’s seven innings while Osbourn Park (8-7, 3-3) plated its three runs in the sixth behind two RBIs from Jacob Shulman.

Gar-Field baseball wins 3-2

A sixth inning run helped GarField edge Freedom 3-2 in baseball. Freedom’s Reese Hall and Juan Cardenas had two hits each with Hall adding one RBI and a walk. Eric Rodriguez led the Indians with one RBI and one walk. Freedom (0-12, 0-7) out-hit Gar-Field (12-4, 4-4) 7-4, but couldn’t manufacture enough runs to earn their first win of 2018.

Woodbridge baseball wins 5-4

The Woodbridge Vikings survived a late rally by Brooke Point to win 5-4. The Vikings (9-4 overall, 5-2 Cardinal District) jumped out to a 4-0 lead and led 5-0 in the fifth. Brooke Point scored four runs in the top of the sixth, but its rally fell short. Jakobe Anderson and Christopher Hund had two hits each for Woodbridge, while pitcher Magnus Ellerts earned the victory by striking out eight. Jack Lamb picked up the save in a tension filled final two innings.


OPINION

For the love of the games – and of our kids There’s nothing else like it in sports. It causes absolute jubilation, which can last for some time. I can’t help but stand up and cheer when it happens. And I don’t care what I look like when celebrating, or who sees me. I speak, of course, not of a game-winning drive, or a record-breaking major-league achievement, but of a simple shot made by my only child in an average fifthand sixth-grade basketball game. See, as basketball season winds down and baseball season begins, my mind wanders to sports, but not in the comprehensive way that our sportswriters tackle the subject. So if you’re not a sports fan, don’t put the paper down yet, or click onto something else if you’re online. I’m talking about how sports makes us feel. When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching games, but I also tried to participate in them. Many an hour was spent on the backyard basketball court, trying to

JONATHAN HUNLEY hone my skills enough to impress a girl, or hitting baseballs off the practice tee because I thought that would allow me to improve to some miraculous level of development. It was as though I was Ralphie Parker daydreaming, but in the summertime, not at Christmas, and with a bat, not a Red Ryder BB gun. I didn’t even make it as far as Ralphie, who got his gun, though I’m not sorry that I tried. If you’re wondering, the basketball career ended at middle-school (a total of one foul shot made!) and the baseball career in high school (from an injury). Sports hold a whole other fascination for me nowadays, however. I still root for the Boston Celtics as I

did as a 10-year-old, but now there’s an 11-year-old with me who cheers them on, too. So games have become something that my son and I share, not something that I engage in solely for me. Maybe you’ve experienced something similar. Sports provide just another subject that we can talk about, and Jackson and I have even been known to sing the radio jingle for one of the Orioles’ advertisers. Also, helping the youngster practice his basketball skills on a neighborhood court in Dale City now means more to me than watching the NBA Finals (though I still hope the Celtics make it there every year). And, yes, when Jackson made a shot in his league this year — or got a rebound or made a good pass — an almost indescribably wonderful feeling came over me. There’s just something about seeing your child accomplish a goal, whether it’s on the field, in the classroom, on stage, wherever, that

warms the heart. Even the heart of the curmudgeonly newspaper reporter. Pride in those moments even apparently rendered me speechless when I wanted to yell at the referees for bad calls, as I have done that less and less each of the three years Jackson has played. I have, however, cursed the traffic on southbound Interstate 95 several times as I tried to get to his games. So I understand that the hustle and bustle of our Type-A world here can make it difficult to attend all of our kids’ events, much less appreciate their finer points. But I would encourage all of my fellow parents (as well as grandparents and others) to make the effort. It’s so worth it — and, as my mother always says, children are only little once.
