Republicans nominate Bob Weir for supervisor

‘Young child’ killed, 4 injured in domestic shooting in Dumfries

Veteran of local land-use fights won a 3-way contest ahead of Feb. 21 special election

By Jill Palermo Times Staff Writer Haymarket Town Councilman Bob Weir came out on top of a three-way contest held to pick a Republican nominee for the Feb. 21 special election to fill the Gainesville District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.

Weir, 59, won more than 50% of the 363 votes cast during the Monday, Jan. 2 “mass meeting” the Prince William County Republican Committee held at Park Valley Church in Haymarket to pick its candidate to replace former Gainesville District supervisor Peter Candland, a Republican who had held the local office for 11 years before he resigned on Dec. 16 over conflict-of-interest issues.

Weir will likely face political newcomer Kerensa Sumers in the Feb. 21 special election. She is the only announced Democratic candidate.

Prince William Republican Committee Chairman Denny Daugherty declined to disclose the vote breakdown, saying only that Weir exceeded the 186 votes needed to win a majority in the first round of voting. Weir was vying for the nomination alongside Ray Mizener, 47, who unsuccessfully challenged Candland for the Gainesville District seat in 2019, and Alyson Satterwhite, 56, who represented the Gainesville District on the Prince William County School Board from 2012 through 2019.

In October 2021, Candland and his wife Robyn signed a contract to sell their Gainesville home

A “very young” child was killed and four more people were seriously injured in a mass shooting in Dumfries late Wednesday morning. A domestic dispute appears to have been the cause of the violence, according to Prince William Deputy Police Chief Jarad Phelps.

During a press conference at about 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 4, Phelps said police could not immediately disclose the age and gender of the child who was pronounced dead inside the townhome at about 11 a.m. Jan. 4.

The board of supervisors voted in November to approve an underlying comprehensive plan amendment paving the way for the new technology corridor, which could entail dozens of individual data center buildings, without the support of the three supervisors representing the western end of the county. Candland had to recuse himself because of his personal financial interest in the project, and Supervisors Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, and Yesli Vega, R-Coles, voted against it.

Amid the fall of Kabul in August 2021, Khaibar Khan Mohmand, 24, escaped Afghanistan and the Taliban on the floor of a military evacuation flight. Mohmand left with nothing but high hopes for a future in the United States. Sixteen months later, he has received asylum and settled in Dale City where he is taking college courses and running his own appliance repair business.

The son of a late general in the Af-

Khaibar Khan Mohmand settled in Dale City in late 2021 after helping U.S. troops evacuate Kabul. He has since been granted asylum and started his own business.

ghan National Army, Mohmand said he was targeted by the Taliban, brutally beaten and left for dead on the street during the chaotic days before the U.S. forces withdrew. As soon as he was able, Mohmand left the hospital where he had received emergency care, walked straight to the airport and began translating for U.S. Marines who eventually helped him board a plane out of Kabul’s international airport.

After stops in Qatar and Germany, Mohmand said he spent 45 days in quarantine at Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Virginia, where he applied for and received a work permit and a Special Immigrant Visa.

Republicans nominate Bob Weir for supervisor

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, hands Weir a check for $1,000 in support of his effort to win the Gainesville District seat in the Feb. 21 special election.

WEIR, from page 1 Intense opposition to opening an area within the county’s “rural crescent” to new data center development drove many of the about 370 participants to the Jan. 2 mass meeting. Also unpopular among many in attendance was the board’s Dec. 14 vote to approve a comprehensive plan update that effectively eliminated the county’s 24-year-old “rural crescent” zoning rules.

Weir has been involved in the fight against data center expansion in the Gainesville District for nearly a decade. He was a key player in a four-year battle launched in 2014 against a high-powered transmission line needed to power an Amazon data center campus on John Marshall Highway outside Haymarket.

Weir worked with the nonprofit Coalition to Protect Prince William County and others to fight the Virginia State Corporation Commission’s siting of the new transmission lines through Haymarket and ultimately persuaded state lawmakers to carry a bill that required Dominion Energy to partially bury the power lines.

During the Jan. 2 mass meeting, Weir vowed to take what he and others called his “fearless” fighting spirt to the county board. He also promised that, if elected, he would “call out” his fellow supervisors on the dais if they fail to adhere to county ordinances and state laws during land-use votes.

In a speech after his win was announced, Weir specifically mentioned board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, saying: “To borrow from a movie, Ann, I’m your worst nightmare.”

The comment was met with laughter, cheers and applause from the audience.

In an interview after the meeting, Weir said he believes the county board of supervisors, with support from the county’s legal staff, has sidestepped state laws with regard to land-use votes. As an example, Weir cited the board’s Dec. 14 approval of the “Pathway to 2040” comprehensive plan update, during which the supervisors disregarded some elements approved by the planning commission and included several changes made from the dais with neither input from the planning commission nor prior public debate.

“Sidestepping process, sidestepping procedure, not living up to the requirements of the state code -- that’s not going to work with me,” Weir said. “And if it means going after [Wheeler] or going after the county attorney to set it right, that’s what it’s going to be.” “[They’re] going to play by the rules; [they’re] not going to run roughshod over this board with me on the job,” he added.

Weir has served five terms on the Haymarket Town Council and five terms on the town’s planning commission. After the vote, Weir said he would remain on the town council

David Mizener, the father of candidate Ray Mizener, casts his vote for his son with a little help from his granddaughter and Ray Mizener’s daughter, Adelaide Mizener, 6. until after the Feb. 21 special election.

Over the years, Weir has been a frequent and sometimes harsh critic of the board of supervisors and was questioned by Prince William County police in 2015 about a blog post that a former county executive considered threatening because it included an internet meme of actor John Goodman pointing a gun.

No charges were filed in the case.

At the time, Weir denied that he meant the blog post to be threatening and later edited the meme to block out the gun with yellow squiggly lines that he said were meant to depict “wet noodles.”

In a speech nominating Weir before the vote, Tadd Wilson, a Haymarket resident involved in the fight against the high-voltage power lines, said he was supporting Weir because of his 20 years of experience in land-use issues and also because he’s “a fighter.”

“There’s a lot of rumors about Bob. They’re all true. Bob is combative. He will know the issues better than [county] staff and better than the supervisors, and he will work across party lines when it makes sense,” Wilson said.

“He’ll tell you exactly where he stands. He’s who we need,” Wilson added. “He can’t be intimidated. He can’t be out worked, and he can’t be bought. Bob’s been fighting for us for years.”

Kathy Kulick, head of the HOA Roundtable, a coalition of homeowner associations that formed in opposition to the Prince William Digital Gateway, seconded Weir’s nomination, saying the Gainesville District is “in a crisis.”

“A lack of representation has left us vulnerable to the worst abuses of local government and has threatened the lawful quiet enjoyment of our residential communities and the safe operating environment of our schools -- to say nothing of the danger to our historic sites and our environmental resources,” Kulick said.

For his part, Weir acknowledged that his style is at times both “confrontational and combative,” but he said it’s not his only approach.

“Being confrontational and com-

bative is one tool in your tool kit.

Generally, it’s not a tool of first choice, but sometimes you have to use it,” Weir said in an interview after the vote. “There are a variety of tools in diplomacy: reaching out to people, trying to make your point to people. … There are many different types of personalities on that board, so there will have to be many different types of strategies.”

Although the board of supervisors currently has a 5-2 Democratic majority, the Gainesville District has not been represented by a Democratic supervisor in at least 20 years. The northwestern Prince William County magisterial district is a conservative pocket in a majority-minority county that has increasingly turned more Democratic since President Barack Obama won Prince William in 2008.

In more recent elections, President Joe Biden won the county in 2020, and former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe won the county in 2021.

In 2022, Prince William County’s support for Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, pulled her to victory over Vega, who lost Prince William, her home county, by more than 36 points.

Some prominent Democrats who live in the Gainesville District have been involved in the fight against the Prince William Digital Gateway. But there did not appear to be many Dem-

ocratic activists among the crowd at the mass meeting, which was mostly older and almost exclusively white.

Marilyn Karp, a prominent Gainesville Democrat who has been involved in an effort to recall Wheeler from office over Wheeler’s financial investments in data center companies, attended the mass meeting and estimated that at least 20 other Democrats did as well. Karp said she voted for Weir.

“Bob Weir knows what he’s doing, and he will hit the ground running, just like he said, and we need somebody very, very tough to deal with these people,” Karp said of the Democratic majority on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, many of whom she campaigned for in 2019.

Karp said she had no issue with signing the Republican committee’s “statement of intent,” a pledge that mass meeting voters will support the GOP nominee in the Feb. 21 special election, or the “renunciation statement” required of mass meeting participants who had voted in a Democratic primary in the last five years. The latter asked voters to renounce their affiliation with the Democratic Party.

“This was an easy decision because this was not about politics.

This is about having elected officials do what the people of the county want them to do, to do what they promised people they would do, not to lie to us,” Karp said.

Bill Wright, a prominent Democrat and a resident of Heritage Hunt who is also involved in the opposition to the digital gateway as well as the recall effort, attended the mass meeting but said he decided not to vote because of the required statements. Still, he said he hoped Weir would win the GOP nomination.

Wright said he hoped some of the Democratic supervisors would face primary challenges in June ahead of the November election, when all eight seats on the county board will be up for grabs.

“I want to be active in those campaigns as a Democrat,” Wright said.

Both Satterwhite and Mizener said they will support Weir in his campaign. Satterwhite, however, said she still plans to seek the Republican nomination in June to run for the Gainesville District supervisor’s seat in November.

‘Young child’ killed, 4 injured in domestic shooting in Dumfries SHOOTING, from page 1 Four other victims were found to be suffering from gunshot wounds when police arrived at about 10:51 a.m. at the home in the 17900 block of Milroy Drive in the Williamstown area of Dumfries.

Police found one of the victims -- a woman thought to be an adult -outside the home. The other four victims were found inside, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman.

Phelps said the ages and genders of the other victims had not yet been confirmed, and that police were still sorting out the relationships of the victims to one another. All four of

the wounded survivors were flown to area hospitals for treatment, according to police radio traffic.

A “person of interest,” a man who police had not yet charged as of early Wednesday afternoon, was located by a responding police officer in the area of Richmond Highway less than a mile from the home, Perok said in an interview.

The man apparently had fled the home. He was not armed when he was found, but police recovered a weapon from inside the house, Perok said.

It is “unknown if [the gun] is related” to the mass shooting, Phelps said during the press conference, adding: “We’re still looking into as-

pects of that.”

The man in police custody is believed to be the lone suspect in the shooting.

As of about 1 p.m. Wednesday, police were going door-to-door in the Williamstown neighborhood, an area of older townhomes off U.S. 1 south of Dumfries Road, in an effort to find anyone who saw or heard anything at the time of the shooting, Perok said.

Police believe the shooting happened only in the townhome and the community was not believed to be in any danger. Police officers canvassing the community were looking for witnesses as well as any security camera footage that may have cap-

Khaibar Khan Mohmand

‘Full of opportunity’ MOMAND, from page 1 Family friends of Mohmand’s late father who live in Dale City saw a post on Mohmand’s Facebook page announcing he had arrived in the U.S. and needed a place to stay. Also, originally from the Nangarhar Province, they received their visas five years ago. The family of six offered the basement of their townhome to Mohmand in late 2021, where he has lived rent-free ever since.

To help him get settled, NOVA RAFT, a local volunteer group, furnished Mohmand’s living space with a small sofa, a chest of drawers, a bed frame, a mattress, sheets, towels, cleaning supplies and a television.

Like most Afghan refugees, Mohmand arrived in the U.S. with little more than he clothes on his back.

“My first year in the U.S. was good, not bad. It was a struggle, a hard time life,” he said in a recent interview, “but life is full of opportunity in the U.S.” Mohmand’s language skills -- he’s fluent in seven languages, including English -- have been invaluable.

They have helped him get jobs, take college courses and navigate life in the U.S. with less difficulty than most Afghan refugees, said Tammy Ross, a NOVA RAFT volunteer in Prince William County who kept tabs on Mohmand after helping get him settled in his basement apartment about a year ago.

Mohmand got a job right away at a nearby McDonald’s because he needed money, and he could walk there, he said. He passed the driver’s license exam, saved some money and bought a used car -- a 1992 Toyota Corolla.

He didn’t stay at McDonald’s

NOVA RAFT, short for Northern Virginia Resettling Afghan Families Together, is a grassroots volunteer group based in Northern Virginia that has been assisting Afghan refugees since August 2021 when they began arriving in the U.S. The group was formed by longtime friends and Springfield residents, Dan Altman and Natalie Perdue, who said they knew immediately that many of the refugees would be coming to Fairfax and Prince William counties with few possessions and would need help with the basics: finding places to live; getting furniture, clothes and supplies; registering kids for school; and finding medical care.

The initial goal was to welcome Afghan allies to the U.S. with kindness and dignity and to help them get settled in new homes with everything they needed to be comfortable in an unfamiliar place. Early on, Perdue said the effort would require a mass of good-hearted volunteers to turn completely empty apartments into warm and welcoming homes for traumatized families.

In August 2021, they pledged to set up homes for 10 families by gathering donations and recruiting friends and neighbors to donate and move furniture and supplies.

By the end of 2022, NOVA RAFT had set up more than 190 homes, collected more than 3,800 pieces of furniture and organized more than 30 community groups to make it all happen.

“Working together, we have delivered nearly $1,000,000 in aid,” the NOVA RAFT website says.

But the group’s work is far from done, said Tammy Ross, a Montclair resident who is the point person for NOVA RAFT in Prince William County. long. He got a better paying job working as a security guard, which he left for an even better paying job in pest control. He sold the Corolla and bought a 2022 Nissan Sentra.

Over the past six months, Mohmand worked as an apprentice, learning appliance repair. Just last month, he took a leap toward the American dream when he started his own business, City Star Appliance Repair, LLC, in Dale City.

Career ambition hasn’t been his only focus, however. He has also sought asylum from the U.S. government with help from an immigration attorney.

“I spoke to the lawyer. I told him everything. He told me it would cost $6,000 and gave me a payment plan,” he said, “I worked and paid the law-

tured photos of the suspect fleeing the home, Perok said.

“Everybody, please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers,” Phelps said during the press conference. “This is a very traumatic incident that they are going through right now. We are working to bring this person to justice.”

Phelps went on to say that domestic violence “is a huge issue” and said police “are doing everything we can to protect victims.”

It was not immediately known Wednesday whether police had been called to the home for any previous incidents.

NOVA RAFT meeting

What: The RAFT Employment Initiative and Call for Volunteers When: Thursday, March 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Where: Westwood Baptist Church, 8200 Old Keene Mill Road, Springfield During the past year, Ross connected with many families from Afghanistan who shared their harrowing journeys out of Kabul, their dreams for futures here in Virginia and the pain they felt leaving relatives behind.

Family members of different ages all need help with different issues, she said. Some need help finding jobs or learning English; others need help getting driver’s licenses or finishing high school, and the majority still need help securing their immigration status, Ross said.

NOVA RAFT has shifted its focus to provide targeted support to Afghan families in need in all of these areas.

The group has partnered with religious communities, businesses and other non-profits to accomplish these goals. Volunteers spend lots of time searching for appropriate employment opportunities and matching employers and refugees, Ross said.

NOVA RAFT secured $30,000 in grant funds to offer English classes for Afghans, Ross said.

The classes have created a community for the Afghan women to make new friends and build a support network.

In this new phase of support, volunteers are always needed, Ross said.

People are getting into jobs, learning English, earning their high school diplomas and learning about financial literacy and American culture, Ross said.

Most of all, “they are learning to cope,” she said, and with support, they are building community.

yer. My asylum case was approved about five months ago.”

With his asylum request granted, Mohmand doesn’t face the same uncertainty as most Afghan refugees, many of whose temporary “humanitarian parole” status expires in August, just two years after they arrived in the U.S. “They don’t know about their future,” Mohmand said.

Federal lawmakers tried to fix the looming problem late last year through the Afghan Adjustment Act, which would have eliminated the threat of deportation for the 73,000 Afghan refugees who entered the U.S. after working alongside U.S. troops -- but the legislation has not yet passed.

Mohmand’s fiancé is still in Afghanistan, and he wants to bring her

to the U.S. He said he works hard so he can send money to her and to his siblings who still live in Afghanistan and are struggling to survive in an unsafe environment.

“This is very hard to support families in Afghanistan. To support them and myself here. This is very hard. I need to make good money,” he said.

When Mohmand first arrived in the U.S., he said he hoped to study to become a doctor, which was his late mother’s wish. He’s still working toward that goal. He filled out a federal financial aid form, received student loans and is taking nursing courses through Fortis College in Richmond.

“It is my dream to be a surgeon,” he said. “I will chase it.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A reminder to support local media Yesterday evening, I received a reminder to renew my subscription to the Prince William Times (which I did this morning).

Also yesterday, I sent an e-mail to the Washington Post’s Climate & Environment editor asking why the Post runs numerous articles on environmental issues in distant third world countries, yet ignores the same issues it its backyard. No response yet.

Everyone involved in the land-use fights over the last year knows how important the support of our local media has been, particularly when larger outlets like The Washington Post have been reluctant to engage.

The criticality of our local media is magnified by our county government’s demonstrated aversion to transparency. Where would we be without local media’s commitment to truth and public information? These outlets are under financial stress and desperately need our support.

With the coming new year, I’m asking each of you to consider supporting one or more of our local media sources. The Prince William Times has several affordable subscription options. Also consider supporting Inside NOVA, Potomac Local News and Bristow Beat. We need these public watchdogs to remain on alert to protect our interests.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

Power outage offers a new perspective on homelessness My Christmas weekend started with an early Friday evening dinner with a friend. I arrived back at my home in Marshall around 8 p.m. to be greeted by a house guest in the yard.

She announced the power had just gone off, which meant also the heat. It was 14 degrees and dropping. My reaction was, “It’s usually only off for hours; let’s get out all the quilts and blankets and go to bed early. The lights coming back on will wake us.” I reported the outage to Dominion Power, whose robo answerer invited me to download the app or go online for status reports (without power).

Early Christmas Eve morning, with the inhouse temp at 40 degrees, my guest wisely decided to head south to family. Half my friends were away; the others had cats. One nearby friend invited me to stay and bring my ailing 12-year-old dog (a true friend). My former barn cat could tough it out in my linen closet.

I quickly gathered a few church clothes, dog food and medicine. The Dominion phone agent said the power would be back by 11 p.m. Off to an evening church service, back to friend’s to check on the dog. Call Dominion to find that the “restoration time” had been changed to 2 a.m. The agent didn’t sound sure.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was without a home for Christmas, dependent on the dog-inclusive kindness of others, with all my “things” in a bag. Granted, I had credit cards,

cash and money in the bank. That doesn’t do one much good when everything is closed (including early hours at McDonald’s). Mine was a “first world” version of what many in, yes, even Fauquier County, go through every day -- without credit cards or much cash.

The uncertainty was the worst part for me.

Imagine if I didn’t know where I’d be staying next week. What would it be like to be living in the car in this weather? What would a warming shelter be like at Christmas? What if you had a pet? What if you didn’t have friends who could afford to be so generous?

The power came back on at 2:30 p.m.

Christmas Day. Ironically, I was volunteering at a free Christmas dinner at the church, as long planned. A policeman dropped by and was able to answer the question Dominion agents wouldn’t: What happened?

He explained that a huge tree had fallen near a transformer. They cut power to the transformer for safety until the tree could be removed. Then, they restored based on priorities set by how many people would be affected. I live on a rural dirt road. We were last. Why couldn’t I know that?

Looking forward to a new year. I already have one resolution: Find out what we can do to help the homeless.

Lockhart-led Battlefield wrestlers take second at 50-team meet in Woodbridge

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Led by senior Cooper Lockhart’s gold medal at 157 pounds, Battlefield High placed second in the massive Battle of the Bridge wrestling tournament at Woodbridge.

The Bobcats amassed 184.5 points during the 50-school affair on Dec. 28-29. Brooke Point won the team trophy with 199.5 points.

Locally, Woodbridge wrestled to sixth with 137.5 points, with Forest Park 16th with 99.5 points and Potomac 18th with 85. Patriot (tie 21st, 78), Colgan (23rd, 76) and Osbourn (24th, 74) also finished in the top half of the field.

Lockhart recorded two falls, a technical fall and a decision en route to the 157-pound final where he edged Brooke Point’s Augustus Fleming, 13-12, in a wild match for a 5-0 tournament run.

Lockhart was one of two Prince William County grapplers to stand atop the podium, as Potomac’s Quswarrah Kayed captured the 285-pound title. Kayed was also 5-0.

Battlefield senior Cooper Lockhart stood tall at the Battle of the Bridge wrestling tournament in Woodbridge, going 5-0 and winning the 157-pound title.
