A new way to get to work?

Haymarket commuter bus begins Dec. 17

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Commuters who live in western Prince William can leave the driving to someone else come Dec. 17 when a new bus begins round-trip service from Haymarket to Arlington.

The “OmniRide Haymarket Express” will make four trips in the morning and four return trips in the afternoon and early evening. It will run along Interstate 66 between Haymarket and the Rosslyn Metro station. The trips will originate from the new park-and-ride lot on the northeast corner of U.S. 15 and I-66.

The Monday through Friday service is meant to give workers an alternative to traveling by car.

It’s the first commuter bus service from Haymarket. Omniride – part of the Potomac Rap-

pahannock Transportation Commission – runs commuter bus routes from the Cushing Road commuter lot, outside Gainesville, and from Linton Hall Road. But the service has never before extended so far west.

The Heathcote Commuter Lot is one of several being built as part of the ongoing “Tranform I-66” project, a $3.7 billion public-private partnership to add toll lanes and more commuter options on I-66 outside the beltway.

The OmniRide service will leave the Heathcote lot at 5:33 a.m., 6:18 a.m., 7:03 a.m. and 8:10 a.m. Return service from Rosslyn to Haymarket will be offered at 3:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 5:15 p.m. and 6:15 p.m.

Along the way, the bus will make stops along Heathcote Boulevard at Abberley Loop, Legend See COMMUTER, Page 4

The entire nation is running short of school bus drivers, and when drivers are absent, students sometimes arrive late to school. In light of all this, one Prince William County school hatched a plan.

While brainstorming one day about chronic student tardiness due to late school buses, which is often the result of having too few back-up bus drivers, Parkside Middle School Principal Mary Jane Boynton took a cue from Prince William County Transportation Director Shirley Posey who floated an idea: Why not offer school bus routes to teachers?

They’d be assigned routes that allow them to arrive in time for the starting bell, teach all day and then transport students back home. Initially, the teachers would be on call to serve as back-up drivers. In time, the they could pick up routes paying $18.21 an hour.

“We had several meetings about the driver-shortage situation,” Posey said. At one point she asked Boynton: “Why don’t you have some of your teachers drive?”

Woodbridge woman charged with second-degree murder in husband’s death A 60-year-old Woodbridge woman was charged with second-degree murder Nov. 21 in the fatal shooting of her husband, Tyrone Timothy Drake, Rene Drake, 60, of Woodbridge, was charged with second-degree murder Wednesday in the fatal shooting of her husband, Tyrone Timothy Drake, 54.

54, also of Woodbridge, according to police.

Officers arrived at the couple’s home, on the 3300 block of Labourn Drive, off Cardinal Drive near Interstate 95, to investigate a shooting at 8:08 p.m., Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department, said in a press release.

Police: Woman struck man with car during argument

Attic fire displaces 4 in Woodbridge

A Manassas woman was charged with attempted malicious wounding after, police said, she struck a man with her car during an argument.

Police were called to the 7600 block of Quail Run Lane in the Manassas area at 2 p.m. on Nov. 21 to investigate a reported assault, Prince William County police said in a news release.

Police said a 26-year-old Manassas man and Natalia Elisabeth-Laverne Rector, 20, were involved in an argument that escalated.

During the argument, Rector struck the victim with her car before leaving the scene, police said in the news release. Minor injuries were reported.

Following an investigation, Rector, of Peakwood Court in Manassas was arrested and charged with attempted malicious wounding, hit and run and destruction of property.

She was held without bond and has a court date on Dec. 14.

Four people were displaced early Sunday when a fire damage damaged their Woodbridge home.

Firefighters responded to the report of a house fire at 1422 Horner Road at about 1:37 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 25. The fire was extinguished within minutes, according to Rebecca Barnes, spokeswoman for the Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department.

The Prince William County Fire Marshal’s Office has determined the fire was caused by faulty wiring.

Fire units from OWL VFD, Dale City Volunteer Fire Department and Prince William County Fire & Rescue responded to the incident, Barnes said in a news release.

The Red Cross assisted the residents who were displaced by the blaze. Fire officials remind residents to have working smoke detectors in their homes.

“Please regularly check your detectors.” OWL VFD Chief Jim McAllister said in the news release.

They found Rene Rachelle Drake, 60, near the front of the residence. The officers then located her husband, Tyrone Drake, who was suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Perok said.

The investigation revealed the Drakes were inside their home when they became in-

Two charged with attempting to break into vehicles in rental car lot Two Washington, D.C. men were arrested early Sunday morning after police said they attempted to break into vehicles at a rental car lot in Woodbridge and then nearly struck a police officer with a vehicle while attempting to flee.

Officers were called to the Enterprise Rent-A-Car at 14655 Jefferson Davis Highway in Woodbridge at 12:20 a.m. on Nov. 25 to investigate reports of “several people tampering with vehicles,” Prince William County police said in a news release.

An Enterprise employee told police that three unknown suspects were seen on video surveillance attempting to break into vehicles, police said.

When officers arrived, the suspects fled in two vehicles, “almost striking an officer and a police cruis-

County board won’t support the ERA Supervisors pass ‘equality’ resolution instead

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

While the Prince William Board of Supervisors say they believe in the idea of equal rights for all, they took a pass last week on a resolution declaring their support for an effort to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia.

The board reached their decision after midnight, Wednesday, Nov. 21, following nearly three hours of debate on a resolution proposed by Supervisor Frank Principi, one of only two Democrats on the board. Supervisor John Jenkins, D-Neabsco, missed the meeting because he is recovering from knee surgery.

The resolution had two goals, Principi said: to declare the board’s support for the ERA and to urge the Virginia General Assembly ratify the proposed constitutional amendment when they return to Richmond in January.

First introduced in 1971, the long-stalled amendment is now 47 years old. Proponents have launched a renewed effort to win its ratification, with Nevada approving it in 2017 and Illinois following in 2018.

Virginia could become the 38th state to ratify the measure, pushing it over the threshold needed to become law. But Congress would also need to act on the amendment since time ran out in 1982 on its seven-year deadline (and three-year extension) for collecting the required state approvals.

Principi, D-Woodbridge, brought the measure to the Prince William board with the encouragement of Delegates Hala Ayala, D-51st, and Jennifer Carroll Foy, D-2nd, two local state lawmakers who are among the chief sponsors of the bill to ratify the amendment along with Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, and Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, whose districts also include parts of Prince William.

As debate drags on, Dumfries OKs ERA resolution without comment

The Dumfries Town Council, controlled by Democrats since the May election, also took up the matter Nov. 20 and approved it unanimously without comment, said Mayor Derrick Wood.

The situation was vastly different across town in the James J. McCoart building, where more than 30 speakers urged the county board to oppose their resolution based on possible unintended consequences.

Among other things, speakers said the ERA could “force abortion without limits” or lead to federally-funded abortion.

Speakers also said it could do away with Women Infants and Children food benefits as well as Social Security payments for widows and require women to register for the draft. Also a concern: single-sex bathrooms, gender-separated high school and college sports teams and separate spaces in prisons and jails for men and women.

“I think it will endanger my children to have to share bathrooms and locker rooms with people of the opposite sex. There is a difference,” said Barbara Norton of Montclair.

About 20 people spoke in favor of the bill, saying the Supreme Court had already legalized abortion based on privacy rights; that unisex bathrooms already exist and the military has

From left: Supervisors Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge; Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, and Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, listen as speakers share their opinions on a board resolution to support the Equal Rights Amendment. Brought by Principi, the resolution failed to win a second. long moved away from the draft while relying on women, some of whom serve in combat roles.

Others told personal stories of unequal pay and unfair treatment and noted the Constitution does not explicitly guarantee the rights of women, which is why they believe the ERA is necessary.

“The issue comes down to whether the Constitution prohibits discrimination, and as you heard tonight it does not,” Ayala said.

Several Democrats who have already declared their candidacies for the county board also spoke in favor of the measure, including Kenny Boddye, Aaron Edmund, Margaret Franklin and Andrea Bailey.

In making his motion, Principi, too, tried to clear up what he called “confusion about the ERA.” He said his resolution says “nothing” about the legality of abortions nor the integration of prisons or bathrooms or college sports.

To make such changes, “other existing laws would need to be challenged, and only our court system, the Supreme Court, could make those decisions,” he added.

“Gender equality is far more than a women’s issue,” he added. “It is an issue that speaks to the very heart of who we are as a country.”

But when Principi made his motion, it failed for the lack of a second.

Lawson introduces alternate resolution

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, introduced an alternative resolution, which she said she and her staff wrote earlier in the day Tuesday in response to anticipated opposition to Principi’s measure.

Her “Equality Affirmation Resolution” notes U.S. laws as well as the 5th and 14th Amendments already offer protection from discrimination and goes onto say: “All persons residing in Prince William County are afforded equal protection under the law” and “no county legislation will be passed that infringes or denies one’s constitutional rights.”

Lawson then called the ERA a “ruse” and said its proponents aimed to “deceive the public.”

“If abortion has nothing to do with this Equal Rights Amendment, then why is it that the pro-abortion organizations – NARAL and National Organization of Women – [are] the biggest proponents of this?” Lawson asked.

“That tells me this is a ruse. If you’re gonna have an honest conversation about the ERA, let’s talk about the issues that are surrounding the ERA. They don’t want to. They want to deceive the public.”

Lawson’s motion was seconded by Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, who said she initially supported Principi’s motion until she researched the ERA and became convinced of its unintended consequences.

“It is very chaotic, it’s confusing, and we’re not

getting clear answers about what the consequences could be,” Anderson said.

Supervisor Marty Nohe, R-Coles, said last week he believed he would support Principi’s measure. But he said he changed his mind after listening to the opponents.

“Of course we want equal rights. And I agree with Mr. Principi that we need the concept of equal rights encoded in our Constitution,” Nohe said.

But Nohe said he is pro-life and is concerned other pro-life community members are wary of the ERA. Nohe said he felt it “inappropriate” to vote without a fuller understanding of those issues. Nohe has announced he’ll run for board chairman in 2019 as a Republican.

Supervisor Maureen Caddigan, R-Potomac, called the amendment “very vague” and said she also could not vote for “anything to do with not being pro-life.”

Caddigan also said she felt the ERA an inappropriate issue to come before the county board.

“You know, we do land-use,” she said. “ We have delegates and state senators and this is their job to do. I don’t know why we have been brought into it.”

Supervisor Peter Candland, R-Gainesville, similarly said he did not feel the board is “equipped” to weigh in on such issues and noted there was little consensus among the community.

“You’ve got one side that’s concentrating on the possible positives, and then you’ve got one side that’s concentrating on the possible negatives,” Candland said. “This whole ratification process is about consensus ... and what this whole process tells me is there isn’t any consensus on this issue.”

Stewart: ‘What does this mean? No one knows.’

Board Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, was the last to speak before the vote. He said no one yet knows what would happen if the ERA were ratified because it has not been challenged by the courts.

“What does that mean? No one knows. There’s not a legal scholar in this country that knows what [the ERA] means because it hasn’t been decided yet. There’s no body of federal case law around this amendment because this amendment is not part of the Constitution,” Stewart said.

“The problem, of course, is that when the law is vague, the judges make the law. And we don’t know what they’re going to say.”

Lawson’s resolution passed on a 5-to-2 vote with Principi and Nohe abstaining.

In an interview after the vote, Principi called Lawson’s resolution “a pathetic example of a last-minute political reaction to the issue of our time.”

“Republicans wrongly made it about abortion rather than standing in support of equal rights for all,” he said. “It’s politics at its worst – cowering to dogma rather than standing up for what our country is truly about.”

Ayala said she understood early in the evening the measure would not pass. She called the opponents’ concerns “standard status-quo talking points” pushed by conservative organizations long opposed the ERA. Still, Ayala said she and the other delegates would bring the ERA to the floor of the General Assembly where they believe it has the votes to pass. Republicans maintain control of the state legislature by two seats in both houses.

Ayala said the supervisors’ vote should inform Prince William voters ahead of the 2019 local elections.

“I agree with the people who said tonight that November is coming and we are watching,” she said.

pass, we tell the DMV to issue the CDL license, and we assign them a route,” Posey said.

Teachers drive only what they can handle until about 8 a.m. when they have to be at class, she said.

TEACHERS, from Page 1 County, transports all 1,230 of its sixth, seventh and eighth graders by bus. Sandwiched in between the City of Manassas and Manassas Park and crisscrossed by busy byways, the school cannot allow its students to walk to school.

The school currently operates 31 buses with 31 routes and 31 drivers and thus is considered fully staffed.

But on any given day, according to Posey, up to 10 of those drivers are absent. When that happens, “we ask drivers do double runs,” she said.

And more often than not, Posey and her bus-driver trainers have to take some of the day’s runs since drivers must hold commercial driver’s licenses.

“The whole nation is experiencing a shortage of school bus drivers,” added Diana Gulotta, spokesperson for Prince William County Schools.

“Countywide, on any given day, we can have up to 100 drivers out.”

Three Parkside teachers signed up for bus training along with six from other schools. All are midway through classes that were set up especially for them on evenings and weekends.

“By January 2, we hope to have assigned each one of them a route,” Posey said. “Depending on the distance involved, a teacher might be assigned several routes.”

Prince William County instructor/trainer/recruiter for transportation services Laura Landis answers questions from Parkside Middle School teachers Ryan Wicka, Sharon Harrison and Yonika Powell during a Saturday training class held at Parkside Middle School in Manassas.

Yonica Powell said in a video on the Prince William County Schools website. “It wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be.”

“It’s a good thing for kids to see adults pitch in when they can,” Angela Leatham, a Parkside social studies teacher, said in the same video.

“I thought it was a good opportunity to get to know the kids better,” added Sarah Hammersten, sixthgrade science teacher at Parkside.

Getting the credentials

Prince William County has a fleet of 913 buses serving nearly 100 schools and special-needs students (who may need busing across county lines), according to Posey, herself a driver for 15 years. The county employs about 700 drivers driving

4,500 routes that make 35,000 bus stops every day, she said. As of the end of November, the county was short 62 drivers, Posey said.

The process for teachers to become licensed is the same for any other school bus driver in the county, Posey said. “They get a Commercial Driver’s License after we train and test them, both in class and on the bus,” she explained.

First, they take a test at the Department of Motor Vehicles to get a CDL learner’s permit so they can get behind the wheel of the bus. Then, two weeks of classroom training covers defensive driving, basic student management, safety protocols, radio etiquette and the like. They also get certified in CPR and first aid, she said.

Each trainee then puts in four hours a day driving a route with a trainer – a minimum of 12 hours to a maximum of 24 – until they feel comfortable handling the bus and the kids.

“After we road test them, and they

For most school bus drivers, the job entails starting each day with a prerun safety check of the bus, driving three or four different morning routes from about 6 until 9:30 a.m., and then a post-run bus check and clean-up.

Drivers are then free until 1:30 p.m. when they begin the afternoon runs.

“You’re home by 4 or 4:30 p.m.,” Posey said.

Posey said school coaches and trainers have also earned bus-driver credentials and have driven their athletes to events for “about the last five or six years.”

Why such a shortage of school bus drivers these days? Posey, who began driving in 1979, said the school division has many more students to transport than they had in the past.

“We have many more students and programs these days. And back then, there were a lot of housewives like me who rather than full-time jobs wanted to stay close to home and the family,” Posey said. “And driving a bus worked well for that.”

In Prince William County, school bus drivers start at $18.21 per hour and most work six and a half to seven hours per day, Posey said. “We have great benefits,” she said.

The school division’s video about teachers training to be bus drivers can be viewed on the Prince William County schools website. To watch it, search for “Parkside Middle School Staff Members Double As Bus Drivers.”

A new way to get to work?

Drive and Trek Way. According to Del. Danica Roem, the new route is getting an early start due in part to new funding made available this year though state legislation that increased gastax collections for transit programs.

The change placed a “floor” on the per-gallon price for the regional motor-fuels tax, which keeps receipts from plunging when gas prices fall.

“I’m working with PRTC on getting three more stops: Two on the north side of Heathcote and one near Heritage Hunt,” said Roem, D-13th.

Ridership is expected to grow, and additional morning and afternoon/evening trips can be added then, said Christine Rodrigo, public relations specialist for the PRTC. In Arlington, the bus will be going to five Metro stops: Ballston at N. Taylor Street, Virginia SquareGMU at N. Lincoln Street, Clarendon at N. Filmore Street, Courthouse Square at N. Wayne Street and Rosslyn at N. Kent Street.

Riders will get a break on the fares while the I-66 improvements are under way. Tickets are half price until construction is complete. Ef-

fectively, that means passengers will enjoy a cut rate until 2022.

“The Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation want to encourage commuters to use transit while construction of the I-66 Express Lanes is under way, so all of OmniRide’s routes that travel along I-66 are half-price until construction is complete,” Rodrigo said.

The bus will cost $6.60 cash each way or $3.45 with a SmarTrip card.

The Haymarket commuter parking lot will have 230 parking spaces for commuters. It will have shelters for passengers waiting for the bus. It’ll also be equipped with bicycle racks.

Haymarket Mayor David Leake said he sees the bus service as a plus for the community.

It “gives our residents and surrounding community additional transportation options to better their commutes,” Leake said in an email.

It also will have “green” benefits since those on the bus would otherwise be driving, he said. The riders won’t have the stress of driving and be able to use their “down time” on the bus in more relaxing ways.

Volunteers clean up local parks Staff Reports Nearly 90 volunteers recently gathered to help clean up Veterans Memorial and Jefferson parks.

They picked up roughly 1,500 pounds of trash that included two bed frames, three mattresses, a shopping cart, an old stereo unit, portable grills, 23 tires, old carpet and garden hoses and lots of plastic bottles and other miscellaneous trash, according to a Prince William County news release.

“Around the country, we use something like two million plastic bottles every five minutes, and nearly 80 percent of those plastic bottles never make it into the recycling stream,” said Supervisor Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, who spoke to the volunteers before they got started. “We are going to change that here in eastern Prince William with all of your help.”

With that, the volunteers were off to work.

Brendon Shaw, of Haymarket, said he heard about the cleanup through his work and thought it was a good idea to come out and help.

“As residents of Prince William County, we think it’s important to pitch in and help where we can,” he said. “I thought it was a great opportunity to get out and do that. It’s close to home, and it’s a beautiful park, and we want to take care of it.”

Mazil Rhim, of Gainesville, said he brought his 4-, 8-, 12- and 16-year-old daughters to the cleanup to set an example.

“We have to teach our kids that we have to keep nature clean,” he said.

Meagan Landis, the constituent services and policy manager in Principi’s office, said the goal of the cleanup, aside from keeping the parks looking nice, is to collect data that will aid in procuring grants.

“The whole point of quantifying it is part of a bigger project where we are trying to get federal money for litter traps,” she said. “We’ve identified areas where the litter is making its way into the waterways at these natural collection points.”

Janet LaFleur, the operations manager for the county’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, said that trash accumulates over the summer between cleanups and is hard to get to when the brush is at its thickest in the summer. Fall and winter are better for cleanups.

The county’s Parks, Recreation and Tourism and Public Works Departments, Keep Prince William Beautiful, the Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District, Prince William Trails and Streams Coalition, Adopt a Stream and the Responsible Battery Coalition partnered with Principi’s office to help with the cleanup.

New ‘Empowerment Center’ offers free financial services Staff Reports Free, financial counseling and related services will be more accessible to the community when the Financial Empowerment Center at Prince William County opens to the public this Saturday, Dec. 1.

Capital Area.

The center, located at 13370 Minnieville Road, where the SkillSource Group Inc., is headquartered, will now house Virginia Cooperative Extension offices as well.

While SkillSource offers job training, VCE will provide the financial and housing education to supplement the center’s services, Victoria Neeley, VCE’s financial education and housing counselor program manager, said in a news release.

“The idea behind the Financial Empowerment Center is to be a onestop shop. Currently, SkillSource Center is a job-training center. Now we’re going to have financial education, tax services, small business education and empowerment. We’re going to have housing counseling, financial counseling and small business counseling right here in one location,” she said.

“One of our biggest strategic goals is a robust economy, and to have a robust economy, there’s several

things underneath that. First, you’ve got to bring in big business... Another goal is to bring in small business,” Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Small business is what makes Prince William go around. To have small businesses … we have to have people ready to work in those small businesses and that’s what workforce is all about, right here.”

Neeley said posting VCE counselors in an office at the Empowerment Center will offer people more opportunities. “The idea of the center is to be more available to the community so we have more counselors working one-on-one with clients and we have more educational programs going on to fit the needs of the community, especially to grow small businesses and what they’re doing, and to help grow financial confidence in the community,” she said.

Dumfries Town Council moves elections to November Staff Reports

When Dumfries residents cast their votes for the next U.S. president, they’ll also make some important choices for elected posts closer to home. The town will hold its elections for town council in November for the first time in 2020.

The town council made the decision Tuesday, Nov. 20, to move its elections from May to November in a 6-to-1 vote. The council held a public hearing before the vote.

Only Councilman Charles Brewer voted against the resolution authorizing the move. Brewer noted that the change would increase the terms of the councilmembers up for re-election in 2020 by six months.

Mayor Derrick Wood and other councilmembers said that issue would be only temporary and was

not reason enough to maintain the May election date, which is typically plagued by low voter turnout.

About 20 percent of Dumfries voters turned out to the polls last May when the town elected Wood along with three new councilmembers: Monae Nickerson, Selonia Miles and Cydny Nevill.

Former Dumfries mayor Nancy West spoke against the change, saying it would make town elections too partisan. West said the most recent May elections were the most partisan she had ever seen in the town.

But other speakers noted the need to increase voter turnout and raise awareness of the town elections, which they said would be easier in November when national races are on the ballot.

Wood said local candidates spend a lot of time and money trying to raise awareness about the May contests.

“In a November election, schools are closed, the whole nation is following the news,” Wood said. “In a May election, you don’t have all of this going on. A lot of residents aren’t even aware there is an election.”

Dumfries will become the third Prince William County-area locality to make the switch to November elections. The cities of Manassas and Manassas Park already hold November elections. The towns of Quantico, Haymarket and Occoquan hold their elections in May and have not yet discussed a move to the fall.

Council approves new town logo

In other news, the Dumfries Town Council adopted a new logo that features a colonial ship, a nod to the town’s history as an port town in the 1700s.

There also is a thistle, referencing the town’s Scottish heritage, surrounded by a braided maritime rope.

The logo will not replace the town seal, which is included on all official town documents.

The new logo will replace one used by the town since the 1980s, which was hand-drawn by then Town Historian Lee Lansing. Town officials used it because they liked it but the council never formally approved it, Wood said.

Wood had commissioned designers to participate in a contest to create a logo based on the town’s history as the longest continually-chartered town in Virginia.

Dumfries Town Councilman Brian Fields joins 2019 sheriff’s race

Dumfries Town Councilman Brian Fields has announced his bid to oust Prince William County Sheriff Glendell Hill, meaning local Democrats will hold a primary to pick their candidate for sheriff in 2019.

Council in 2016. Hill, a Republican, has held his post since 2004. Democrat Josh King, a Fairfax County sheriff’s deputy, announced his candidacy last week. King, of Woodbridge, ran unsuccessfully for the 2nd District Virginia House of Delegates seat in 2015 and 2017.

Prince William County needs a person with experience in law enforcement, leadership and community involvement, Fields said in announcing his candidacy.

“In addition to what our current sheriff is already providing to the citizens of this diverse county, I would like to creatively implement more programs to engage the sheriff’s office with each community, one family at a time,” Fields said.

Fields has 15

years of law-enforcement experience.

He was a campus police officer at Virginia State University, a senior patrol officer in Dumfries, a deputy sheriff for Dinwiddie County and currently serves as a justice protective service officer at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Fields has also served more than 21 years in the Virginia Army National Guard.

Fields served as Dumfries vice mayor for two months, having been elected by his fellow councilmembers to the post in July. In September, the Dumfries Town Council voted after a closed session to replace Fields with Councilwoman Monae Nickerson as vice mayor.

“My peers on council have pointed out that the council and the town needed a vice mayor that can devote proper time and attention to the town,” Fields said at the time. “To say the least, my plate is full. Therefore, I agree with the council and fully support Vice Mayor Nickerson as the new vice mayor.

Fields said Sunday he feels he will be able to fulfill his obligations as a town council member and run for sheriff because he will have cam-

County names new executive Dumfries names new police chief director of human rights The Prince William Board of County Supervisors has named Raul Torres as the new executive director of the Human Rights Office.

Torres comes to Prince William County after 19 years as the assistant county manager for Arlington County overseeing human rights, EEO and ADA. “My life’s work has been devoted to helping build communities that are free from all types of discrimination,” Torres said.

Torres is a certified public manager and earned his master’s degree in labor law from George

Washington University Law School and his juris doctorate in business law from the University of Puerto Rico Law School.

Raul Torres Prior to public service, Torres was a partner in a private law practice. He is a member of the Arlington County Bar Association, the Virginia State Bar Association and an admitted lawyer to the Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and District of Columbia.

The town of Dumfries has a new police chief: former Dumfries Police Department Sgt. James McCarthy.

McCarthy, who had been with the police department for about year, had served as acting police chief since former police chief Nicholas Esposito resigned the position in October. Esposito had been police chief for 18 months.

After Esposito resigned, Dumfries Mayor Derrick Wood said the council first interviewed for the position internally. “(McCarthy) had stellar recommendations from Caroline County,” Wood said. McCarthy worked for the Caroline Sheriff’s Department and he had recommendations from the former Commonwealth attorney for the county. He has been in law enforcement since 1995.

“He was spoken well of by his peers,” Wood said.

Inspection for Damage Prevention

Heavy, wet snows, wind, ice and rain.

That’s winter. It’s not uncommon to see a lot of limbs down on properties after serious winter storms. Cleanup takes care of the debris, but an arborist should make a careful inspection of the trees and shrubs on your property to ensure that the damage they have sustained during the harsh weather will not cause problems later.

Heavy snows may have injured the trunks and branches of trees. Splits may occur in multi-stemmed plants that may need cabling and bracing or pruning to eliminate the weakened branches. Leaning trees, trees that are subject to high wind loading (top heavy) or trees on sloping ground are susceptible to root failure. The buttress roots should be inspected carefully.

It’s worthwhile to protect your investment in your landscape with inspections to avoid expensive tree and shrub replacements later on. A program of managed health care for trees and shrubs involves regular inspections throughout the year by a professional arborist – to identify and correct conditions before they reach the “crisis” stage.

Tunes over texting

by Robin Earl

Everyone knows we shouldn’t text while driving. Many of us do it anyway — just a quick one at a stop light or as we enter a neighborhood where the traffic is light. The lure of a beeping phone is stronger than a Springsteen bass riff.

Young drivers GUEST VIEW are the target of most anti-texting outreach. Everyone knows teenagers can’t keep their hands off their phones. But it has been my observation that it is the adults in the room — or car — who can’t resist sneaking a peek at that incoming text and firing back a well-worded response.

In the early days of smartphones, whenever mine would buzz in the car, my young daughter would calmly take my hand. It took me a while to figure out that she was preventing me from reaching for my phone. When I became wise to the trick, she shrugged unapologetically. “Mom, texting while driving is so dangerous. Taking your eyes off the road means we could get into an accident. I’m just trying to keep us both safe.”

Whoa.

Anyone who has been in a long business meeting knows that adults

are not immune from cellphone distraction. The beeping, buzzing and chirping notifications are irresistible; it takes an iron will of to leave it face down and silenced.

It’s crucial for young, inexperienced drivers to give all their attention to the road when they are driving. Their phones should be off and out of reach. But those who are charged with setting an example need to follow the same rules. Because our cars are comfortable and familiar places, and driving is all but automatic, we may forget that driving is serious business.

The statistics surrounding texting while driving are sobering.

You may know: A study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute showed that manually texting and dialing cellphones caused a significant increase in crash risk. Texting was associated with the highest risk, 23 times greater than when not texting.

Sending or reading a text message takes your eyes off the road for about 5 seconds, long enough to cover a football field while driving at 55 mph, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It takes only 3 seconds after a driver’s attention has been diverted from the road for a crash to occur.

More than nine people in the U.S. are killed each day as a result of crashes involving a distracted driver, according to the U.S. Department of Motor Vehicles (2016 statistics).

But did you also know: Research conducted by AT&T says that 49 percent of commuters admit to texting while driving; 43 percent of teenagers say they do.

TeenSafe.com (a website devoted to online safety for teenagers) reports that 40 percent of teens say they’ve been in the car with a driver who used a cellphone in a way that put them in some kind of danger.

Also from the TeenSafe website: “According to research conducted

by AT&T, 77 percent of American teenagers report that adults close to them instruct them not to text and drive, yet they see those same adults text or email while they drive.”

Some families require students to sign a no-texting agreement when they get their driver’s licenses. Let’s agree that all drivers — no matter their age — should sign on the dotted line, promising to postpone texting until they arrive safely at their destination.

If necessary, crank up the oldies station to drown out your notifications. It’ll drive your teenagers crazy. Win-win.

Tax changes on General Assembly’s agenda in 2019 At a recent state Senate Finance Committee retreat, state legislators had a preview of economic and revenue projections and other significant issues expected to be debated during the upcoming 2019 General Assembly session.

A vice president of Moody’s Analytics said Virginia’s economy continues to perform well due to increased federal spending coupled with federal tax cuts. However, he likened the performance to a sugar high and said indicators are starting to point toward a recession in the next two years because of increased interest rates and increased import/export tariffs. He cautioned that rising lending could exacerbate a recession. He also noted that Virginia’s budget was well positioned for a recession because we have bolstered our rainy day fund.

Next, we examined the state budget.

Nearly 70 percent of Virginia’s general fund revenue comes from income taxes. Traditionally, Virginia has been a “conforming” state, meaning Virginia’s definition of adjusted-gross income is identical to the federal definition, and taxpayers and accountants do not have to use two different sets of rules to figure out taxes. However, the tax bill passed by Congress in early 2018 significantly rewrote what constitutes income while limiting deductions. Most

SCOTT SUROVELL STATE SENATOR 36TH DISTRICT scott@scottsurovell.org significantly, Congress and President Trump limited the deductibility of real estate taxes and state and local income taxes, also known as SALT, to a total of $10,000.

While most Virginians will see a combined net decrease or no change in their combined federal and state tax liability, many taxpayers who save on federal taxes might end up paying more on their state taxes due to the limits on SALT deductions because Virginia historically requires taxpayers to claim the same deductions on their state income tax returns as on their federal returns. If Virginia continues to that policy, the commonwealth will see additional revenue of about $600 million per year.

New state revenue is desperately needed. Virginia is still not funding K-12 education at the levels reached pre-2009, and preschool funding is still marginal. Our higher-education

funding is about half of the state goal. Our safety net funding for services like subsidized childcare, temporary assistance for needy families and mental health care is abysmal. Notwithstanding these needs, I suspect some legislators will propose a broad tax cut even though most Virginians’ combined tax liability will about break even.

Governor Northam has also proposed to use part of the new revenue to fund a focused tax cut for low-income, working Virginians by making the Virginia Earned Income Tax Credit refundable. Today, if a taxpayer claims the EITC and their refund exceeds their tax liability, they receive a federal refund, but no state refund. Refundability would benefit about 15,700 taxpayers here in the 36th District and 90,000 taxpayers in Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford Counties.

Even though low- and moderate-income taxpayers make up half of Virginia taxpayers, they are projected to receive only 6 percent of the benefit from federal tax cuts. This would also help to restore some fairness to Virginia’s income tax, which is basically a flat tax today.

Also, earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the Wayfair case to allow states to tax internet sales. Many online retailers, such as

Amazon, were already paying sales taxes because they already had a physical presence in Virginia (distribution or data centers). The additional revenue from taxing internet sales will be about $124.7 million from $2.9 billion in sales activity. But after mandatory allocations for secondary education and transportation, the net additional revenue to the general fund is projected to be only about $58 million per year.

While state revenues have come in around $555 million over original forecasts, expenses are also higher.

Specifically, forecasted Medicaid spending was off by $469 million along with about $200 million in other obligations such as Hurricane Florence expenditures, opiate epidemic-driven, public safety expenditures, mental health expenses and the projected Amazon investments, which will consume much of the higher revenues.

The 2019 session is likely to be a very significant session for tax policy and spending decisions. If you have any feedback, please email me at scott@scottsurovell.org.

It is an honor to serve as your state senator.

THE FREEDOM TO DREAM BIG Hatcher’s late TD lifts Eagles past Woodson, 21-16, and into state semifinals

By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

Sure, the situation looked shaky for his Freedom Eagles, but coach Darryl Overton knows he has a special team and this is a special year.

Trailing 16-14 with 1:40 left, Freedom needed two big plays and got them for a 21-16 win over W.T. Woodson in the Class 6 Region C final.

Jason Hawkins ripped off a 68yard kickoff return and Umari Hatcher caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Quest Powell with 40 seconds left as the Eagles (12-1) swiftly changed the narrative and earned their first state berth.

They’ll tangle with three-time defending state champ Westfield (130) in Saturday’s Class 6 semifinal at Westfield at 2 p.m.

“I saw the guys get down when [Woodson] made the [go-ahead] field goal and I said, ‘We are going to get a good kick return,’” said Freedom coach Darryl Overton.

Cue Hawkins, who set up the winning touchdown.

The junior caught Woodson’s kickoff at the 2-yard-line, swept to the outside and used a series of strong seal-blocks to reach the edge before using his speed to burst up the sideline to the Woodson 30.

“I needed to make a play to help us win this game,” Hawkins said. “I just hit the corner as fast as I could.

After that I was very confident that we would score.”

Freedom returned some kickoffs up the middle of the field earlier in the game, but coach Overton preferred the right side late in the fourth quarter. “I felt like we were one or two blocks away,” he saud.

“I thought we had them pinching down to stop our middle return and it worked out perfectly.”

There was a setback on that first play following Hawkins’ long kickoff return, as Woodson stuffed star running back Tyquan Brown for a 7-yard loss, leaving Freedom with a second-and-17 situation with no timeouts and the clock running.

So the Eagles relied on Powell, their junior quarterback who giftwrapped a perfect pass for Umari Hatcher in the end zone.

Hatcher severely beat his defender before cruising under the pass for a touchdown reception with 48 seconds remaining.

“I trusted my guy,” Powell said.

“He’s great. I knew he was going to be able to bring it in before he even caught it.”

“It was an amazing opportunity,” Powell said of his TD throw. “This is See FREEDOM, page 12

Brown sets county rushing record

Freedom senior running back Tyquan Brown ran 27 times for 115 yards to set a Prince William County record for career yards rushing. Brown has 6,678 yards. He topped the 6,607 yards amassed by Woodbridge’s De’Antwan Williams, who graduated in 2009.

Can Eagles take down Westfield?

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Freedom has already made school history. Now they want more, namely a berth in their first state championship game.

Standing in the way are the powerful Westfield Bulldogs (13-0), winners of 37 games in a row and three state titles, and five since 2003.

“I know Westfield is a proven program,” coach Darryl Overton said.

“Our guys are going to compete no matter what. We feel like we have been building towards this.”

Last year Westfield swept aside Woodbridge 18-7 in the state semis in a competitive game.

Now another Woodbridge team will try to dethrone Westfield.

The last three Prince William County teams to make a state football championship games were Osbourn (2008), Woodbridge (2007) and Osbourn (2006).

Powell said he targeted Hatcher after seeing the Cavaliers’ safety shift toward Hawkins, a receiver on the other side of the field.

“We were very confident,” Hatcher said. “I knew the ball was coming to me and I was confident I would get him beat.”

Overton had faith in Hatcher.

“We felt like that was a good matchup,” the coach said. “He is a big athlete. We needed to make sure he got the ball.

“When it was in the air I was thinking, ‘That was a great call,’” Overton said. “Then I noticed he was wide open. It was just a matter of catching it. The young kid rose to the occasion.”

The Eagles didn’t trail until Allison’s field goal gave the Cavaliers a 16-14 lead in the final two minutes.

Woodson had the ball with 48 seconds remaining following Hatcher’s late touchdown, but the Eagles’ defense didn’t allow Woodson to even flirt with a comeback, moving the Cavaliers backwards until the clock hit zero.

Manassas Ballet to perform ‘The Nutcracker’ An ensemble scene from a previous performance of “The Nutcracker” by the Manassas Ballet Theatre.

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Staff Reports Manassas Ballet Theatre will present “The Nutcracker” from Thursday, Dec. 13, through Sunday, Dec. 23, at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas.

Clara, her Nutcracker Prince, the Snow Queen, the Sugarplum Fairy and the entire ensemble cast lead the audience through the classic tale of a Christmas Eve party, a gift to a young girl, and her delightful dream where mice fight soldiers; dolls and snowflakes dance; and her prince comes to life.

The theatre’s “The Nutcracker” is a family classic that may be the best attended performing arts production in Northern Virginia annually.

Manassas Ballet Theatre is Northern Virginia’s largest professional ballet company, with an international roster of 25 full-time dancers, the Manassas Ballet Theatre Orchestra, and an ensemble cast featuring students from Manassas Ballet Academy and some special local guests joining for “The Nutcracker” production.

There are 12 performances to choose from, both evening shows and matinees, at the Hylton Performing Arts Center on the Manassas campus of George Mason University.

A scene from a previous performance “The Nutcracker” by the Manassas Ballet Theatre.

Part of the ensemble rehearsing for the upcoming performance cycle of “The Nutcracker.”

Artistic Director Amy Grant Wolfe, in her 20th season with the theatre, choreographs this year’s production.

“With three rotating casts, there are a lot of moving parts,” she said. “It is a massive undertaking as it is a huge production to choreograph and coordinate, but we’ve been at this for a while now.
