New county board weighs measure backing gun-safety laws

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

The now Democratic-controlled Prince William Board of County Supervisors were poised to adopt a resolution Tuesday urging state lawmakers to pass a handful of new gun-safety laws and boost funding for mental health treatment and firearm safety training.

The measure is the newly elected board’s response to the “constitution-

al county” resolution adopted during the last meeting of the previous county board, which had a 6 to 2 Republican majority, and reflects the political sea change under way as board switches to Democratic control.

A resolution declaring Prince William a “constitutional county” was brought forward by outgoing Board Chairman Corey Stewart, a Republican, at the urging of gun-rights supporters

The Virginia GOP balked at Carter’s self-imposed “socialist” label, using it repeatedly in campaign attack ads.

Carter’s 2017 win over six-term Republican incumbent Jackson Miller was largely seen as a fluke, a byproduct of a blue wave that swept 15 Democrats into the House. It looked like an easy target for Republicans in 2019.

Two men charged in the Dec. 26 double shooting in Manassas that resulted in the death of DoorDash delivery man Yusuf Ozgur were on probation for earlier crimes at the time of the incident and violated their probation multiple times, according to court documents.

Ryan Thomas Walker, 22, of Chantilly, and Jordan Anderson, 22, of Manassas, were taken into police custody on Dec. 29 for the armed robbery and shootings at Denny’s restaurant that killed Ozgur, 56, a Manassas father of two, and left a 34-year-old Rixeyville man with serious gunshot wounds.

The two were the subject of an intense, three-day manhunt that prompted the FBI to offer a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspects’ arrest and conviction.

Marine vet, Lyft driver, socialist: Del. Lee Carter confounds his critics

Times Staff Writer

If you stand at the western boundary of the Manassas-area 50th House of Delegates district and look east, everything in front of you is houses and everything behind you is cows.

At least that’s how Del. Lee Carter tells it.

It may not be entirely true, but it gets the point across: Northern Virginia’s boundless growth is pushing further into the rolling countryside of central Virginia, and it’s changing

the demographics of fringe districts in Northern Virginia, including Carter’s 50th District, which straddles the City of Manassas and Prince William County.

The area isn’t exactly the Northern Virginia of Fortune 500 companies, but of quickly expanding suburbs, struggling strip malls and a steadily increasing cost of living.

“Everybody in my district is scrambling to pay the bills,” Carter said.

The district’s shifting demographics might explain how Carter, a Democrat and self-proclaimed socialist whose top legislative priority is workers’ rights, was elected in 2017 and then re-elected for a second term even under pressure from both Republicans and Democrats.

FROM PAGE 1

New county board weighs measure backing gun-safety laws GUN-SAFETY, from page 1 led by the Virginia Citizens Defense League. The group has persuaded more than 100 Virginia counties to adopt similar resolutions since the Nov. 5 election, when Democrats won control of the Virginia General Assembly with a promise to pass a slate of new gun regulations.

Incoming County Board Chair Ann Wheeler, a Democrat, said the new resolution would not repeal the constitutional county resolution but rather voice the new board’s support for some of the gun-safety bills lawmakers will begin debating in Richmond this week.

“There’s no intent to overturn the constitutional county resolution,” Wheeler said Saturday. “You know, I believe that following the Constitution and gun safety legislation are not mutually exclusive.”

Indeed, the first few clauses of the proposed resolution note that every elected official in the Commonwealth of Virginia, including county supervisors, must swear to uphold both the U.S. and Virginia constitutions.

The measure also states the board “wishes to express its commitment to the rights of law-abiding citizens of Prince William County to legally keep and bear arms.”

But the resolution goes on to detail the state and county’s challenges with gun violence and mental illness, including that more than 39,000 Americans died of gun violence in 2017. Of the 1,028 Virginians who were killed by guns in 2017, the most recent year for which state statistics are available, 674 committed suicide, the resolution says.

The resolution also states that Virginia is one of 17 states in which more people are killed by gunfire than automobile accidents annually. Also, Virginia women are fatally shot by their intimate partners at a higher rate than the national average.

The measure also notes that mental illness is an increasingly costly problem for Prince William County in that the police department transported 555 emotionally disturbed patients to various medical facilities throughout the state in 2018, an endeavor that required about 7,551 staff hours.

As a result of those challenges, the resolution urges the Virginia General Assembly to: • Pass the so-called “red-flag bill,” which would allow a judge to temporarily limit access to firearms by individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others “while preserving due process;” • Eliminate potential background check loopholes by requiring background checks for all gun purchases through a federal firearms license; • Support laws limiting children’s access to firearms to reduce adolescent suicides and accidental ad-

olescent shootings; • Provide additional state funding for firearms safety education; • Waive sales tax on gun safes and gun safety locks to promote safe gun handling practices; and • Strengthen penalties for adults who allow unsafe access to guns to children.

The measure does not mention either Senate Bill 16, a controversial bill that would ban the possession of assault-style, semi-automatic weapons in Virginia, or HB 421, which would allow localities to ban guns from public buildings, such as public libraries or the James J. McCoart Administration Building.

Wheeler said she drafted the resolution with the help of county staff and chose which gun-safety bills to include for the board’s endorsement.

Wheeler further said she looked to similar resolutions passed by the City of Manassas City Council and the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors for guidance. Both localities included support for proposed gun-safety bills in resolutions passed in December.

The measure is “really my resolution that I put forward,” Wheeler said. “But it doesn’t mean [that other gun-safety bills] won’t be something that’s discussed in the future.”

Wheeler said she told all seven of her fellow supervisors about the resolution before including it on the agenda for the board’s first meeting Tuesday, Jan. 7.

The vote will be taken after presstime, but given the board’s 5 to 3 Democratic majority, the resolution is likely to be approved. Only one board member, however, responded to an email requesting comment over the weekend.

Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, said he will support the resolution and, like Wheeler, sees no contradiction with the constitutional county resolution the previous board approved in December.

“Supporting the Constitution and promoting responsible firearm ownership can go hand-in-hand. As such, to my knowledge, there will be no effort to repeal the previous resolution,” Boddye said in an email.

Boddye further noted that as a survivor of gun violence, the issue of gun violence is personal.

“When I was around 3 years old, the house I grew up in was struck by gunfire during a drive-by shooting,” Boddye wrote. “Bullets came through my bedroom window but thankfully neither I nor my parents who rushed in right afterward - were hit by anything.”

Boddye further said he ran on improving access to mental health services for county residents and said increased state funding for mental health screening and treatment would help the board deliver on that promise.

“Increased mental health services would also free up law enforcement resources which often times get diverted to addressing mental health incidents,” Boddy wrote.

Denny’s suspects had multiple parole violations SHOOTING, from page 1

Walker robbed woman in Manassas

Walker had been on probation since April 2018 after serving a year and a half of a three-year suspended prison sentence for a July 2016 robbery in Manassas.

Walker was charged with robbing a woman who was pumping gas at a Sunoco gas station on Sudley Road in Manassas on July 11, 2016.

He stole $1,000 in cash and a gold bracelet valued at $5,000, according to court records.

Court documents show the Virginia Department of Corrections sought to have Walker’s probation revoked in June 2019 after he repeatedly violated the conditions of his probation.

Virginia Department of Corrections Senior Probation and Parole Officer Sherri Jenkins filed a “major violation report” in June which recommended Walker return to court to show why his entire suspended sentence should not be imposed.

Walker failed to appear for 13 random drug screenings between October 2018 and June 2019 and tested positive for marijuana three times during his probationary period, according to the report.

“Since the start of [Walker’s] probation term, his adjustment to supervision has been less than satisfactory,” the report said. “[Walker] has not honored appointments or instructions given by his supervising officer.”

Prince William County’s Clerk of Court also reported that Walker had not made any of his court-ordered restitution payments. The restitution totaled $6,000, which was meant to refund the victim of the robbery, according to the report.

In a Dec. 5 ruling, Prince William County Circuit Court Judge Carroll A. Weimer sentenced Walker to “time served,” meaning Walker would not return to prison to serve the remainder of his suspended sentence and would instead remain on probation.

Emails to Weimer seeking comment were not returned.

Walker was awaiting extradition to Prince William County Monday

for a Feb. 6 court date, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department.

Anderson released from prison in September

Anderson was also on probation at the time of the shooting. Anderson served two years in prison after committing two home robberies in Prince William County in April 2016 -- one in Gainesville and another in Haymarket. Anderson was also charged with similar offenses in Loudoun and Fairfax counties.

Anderson was released on supervised probation on Sept. 9, according to court records.

Anderson tested positive for opiates in violation of his probation just 10 days after his release, on Sept. 19, and tested positive for marijuana on Oct. 21.

Anderson also received a speeding ticket in October and was charged with reckless driving in connection with an Oct. 31 traffic crash. Anderson was due to appear in court Feb. 3 on charges connected with the crash, according to court records.

Anderson was arraigned on Monday, Dec. 30, in Prince William County. He was charged with one count of murder, one count of malicious wounding, and two counts of using a firearm in commission of a felony in connection with the Ozgur’s death.

Ozgur was working as a DoorDash delivery man and was picking up a to-go order at the Denny’s, located at 8201 Sudley Road, when he was struck over the head by one masked assailant and shot by the other, resulting in his death.

The two men were in the restaurant only a few minutes, according Prince William County Police Chief Barry Barnard. They ordered the 23 diners and staff members to lie on the floor and demanded they take out their wallets and cell phones but apparently did not take any property from the restaurant, Barnard said.

Ozgur was entering the restaurant just as the suspects were leaving.

He may have inadvertently held the door open for the two robbers when he was shot, Barnard said.

Water, climate change a focus for new soil and water board

Tiziana Bottino

Mansimran Singh Kahlon

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Three Democrats elected to the Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Directors say their top priority is protecting the county’s water resources and raising awareness about the impacts of climate change.

Directors-elect Mansimran Singh Kahlon and Will Lintner will begin serving on the board in January 2020.

The five-member board, made up of three elected volunteers and two state-appointed positions, provides leadership to the professional staff of the local soil and water conservation district, which gives guidance in natural resource conservation to county residents.

The district was originally intended to serve the local farmers but has since expanded its focus to suburban and urban conservation practices as the county’s farmland has been reduced over the years. There are 47 soil and water conservation districts in Virginia.

Lintner, 56, has lived in Prince William County for over 50 years.

He grew up fishing and boating in the eastern end of the county but said the wildlife in the county’s waterways has noticeably decreased over the years.

“At that time, we had large amounts of fish, herring coming up the streams. That all went away after 10 or 15 years,” Lintner said. “I wanted to run [for office] to return the waters of Prince William County back to a good condition. I want the waterways to be as clean as they can be.”

Lintner said clean water is an immediate environmental issue for the county. Long term, he would like to

Will Lintner

see the county take steps to become more energy efficient to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Lintner is retired and resides in the Coles District. He worked for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for 25 years.

Bottino, 32, is the founder of the Greater Prince William Climate Action Network, a local environmental nonprofit. She became involved in environmental work at the local level about four years ago after her daughter was born.

“I realized that we need to take care of this planet because her future is at stake,” Bottino said.

Shortly after, Bottino began volunteering with groups like Friends of the Earth and, in 2018, created the Greater Prince William Climate Action Network, a 350.org affiliate.

“I decided to start my own environmental group in Prince William County because I felt there was a lack of climate action,” Bottino said.

“We started pushing for clean energy in Prince William County and to educate the public on those issues.”

Bottino said she hopes to do more to educate county residents about local and regional environmental issues and utilize more sustainable practices in the county’s agricultural areas as a soil and water conservation district director.

“I want to continue the great work that’s been done, because they’ve done a great job educating our farmers on best practices for farming.

They’ve done a great job going to classrooms and educating our children on these issues,” Bottino said.

‘It gets pretty lonely’ CARTER, from page 1 But he says it wasn’t just the GOP that wanted him out.

“It’s not a secret that both parties have tried to get rid of me,” Carter said.

Carter, 32, was one of only four incumbent House Democrats that faced a primary challenge in 2019.

He beat Manassas City Councilman Mark Wolfe (D), a former Republican who switched parties in 2016, by about 400 votes.

In the general election, he faced another Manassas City Councilman, Republican Ian Lovejoy, in a race heavily targeted by the GOP. Lovejoy outraised Carter by about $200,000, with the state Republican party contributing more than

$400,000 to Lovejoy’s campaign.

Ultimately, Lovejoy came up short, losing by 1,400 votes.

Republican political strategist Matt Moran called Lovejoy’s loss “a big question mark” for the Virginia GOP, but added that Prince William County’s population growth, demographic changes and the national environment likely played a role.

“It’s one of the mysteries,” Moran said at a post-election forum in Arlington. “If I had the answer Ian Lovejoy would be the delegate elect.”

But to hear Carter explain it, it’s no mystery at all. He says his constituents have responded to his focus on issues that hit close to home: raising the minimum wage, strengthening worker protections and providing better access to affordable healthcare. As a single dad who drives for Lyft, Carter says he understands the struggle.

Agenda for 2020: The Virginia General Assembly kicks off its 60-day session on Jan. 8. A rundown of the bills local lawmakers filed as of Jan. 5:

HOUSE OF DELEGATES Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, D-2nd District

14 bills, including: • Equal Rights Amendment • Raising minimum wage to $15/hour by 2024 • Ending driver’s license suspension for unpaid court fines, costs • Extending health insurance coverage for breast milk

Del. Danica Roem, D-13th District

8 bills, including: • Shielding journalists from disclosing protected sources • Allowing state agencies to share tax info to streamline access to social service benefits

Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st District

21 bills, including • Allowing the expungement of certain criminal convictions • Raising minimum age for juvenile to be tried as an adult from 14 to 16

Del. Daniel Helmer, D-40th District

4 bills, including: • Listing candidates’ partisan endorsements on the ballot • Prohibiting indoor shooting ranges in private buildings with large numbers of employees • Prohibiting open carry of firearms in vehicles

“When you fight for people who haven’t had an ally in government for a long time, they show up. It’s not a complicated formula,” Carter said.

“They tend to like having someone fighting for them.”

Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, whose district is adjacent to the 50th district, said voters have been able to look past Carter’s socialist branding because of his advocacy for issues like Medicaid expansion and teacher pay raises.

“If you want to give people a reason to come out and vote, there you go. Lee voted to raise teacher pay.

That’s a big deal,” Roem said.

Roem said demographic changes have also played a role in the GOP’s recent losses in fringe Northern Virginia districts, including the 50th, as more people, including large numbers of immigrants, have moved to the area.

“Manassas is very different from when I was a kid growing up here,” Roem said. “We’re not talking about the Manassas of 10 years ago where you could run on anti-immigrant hostility and win elections. You can’t do that and expect to win in a minority-majority community.”

Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, whose district overlaps with the 50th, spoke more equivocally about Carter’s re-election. Surovell compared Carter to Republican Bob Marshall, the 13th District’s former delegate, who the Washington Post editorial board once called a hardright “extremist.”

“Bob Marshall kind of played the same role but in the Republican party, and Bob’s constituents continually returned him,” Surovell said.

“Many people thought he was out of step in a lot of ways, but he spoke his mind. Voters often appreciate elect-

ed officials who tell you what they think.”

Marshall was first elected to the General Assembly in 1991 and served until he was ousted by Roem in 2017.

“Lee’s a very passionate guy that marches to his own drumbeat,” Surovell said. “He clearly speaks for himself and not the Democratic party generally.”

Carter, interviewed shortly after his 2019 re-election, said he was happy to return to the General Assembly. But he’s not getting too comfortable.

“If both parties decide to leave me alone for a few years that’d be hugely appreciated but I don’t see it happening,” Carter said. “I don’t see a future where I ever go uncontested.”

Carter’s agenda: Repealing right-to-work, death penalty

Looking ahead to the 2020 General Assembly session, Carter has already introduced a laundry list of progressive bills he hopes will reach the governor’s desk. And this time around, they might actually make it there.

Carter didn’t pass a single bill during his first two years in the General Assembly, a record he says was largely the result of GOP obstruction in Republican-majority subcommittees. That’s likely to change now that Democrats control both the House of Delegates and state Senate and the Governor’s mansion.

“For the last two years it was known that the Republicans, on day one, decided Lee Carter doesn’t get a Republican vote on anything,” Carter said. “I definitely think they’re going to have a better chance this year.”

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | January 8, 2020

CARTER, from page 4 Carter, a U.S. Marine Corps vet and former electronics repairman, has introduced numerous bills centered around improving workers’ rights in Virginia. He ran for office specifically to improve Virginia’s worker compensation system after being severely injured while working in July 2015.

Carter grew up in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, spending at least part of his childhood in a mobile home park. He served in the Marines for six years, between 2006 and 2011, and completed tours in the Middle East and the Mediterranean.

Carter’s legislative package for the 2020 session includes bills to legalize worker cooperatives, strengthen

the state’s workers’ compensation system and legalize strikes for most public employees.

Carter has also introduced more ambitious bills that don’t have the unanimous support of state Democrats, including repealing Virginia’s right-towork law, banning the death penalty in Virginia, fully legalizing marijuana and expunging the records of those charged with marijuana-related offenses.

According to Carter, his press for increased worker protections isn’t always well-received or well-understood by other members of the General Assembly.

“It’s like I’m speaking a foreign language a lot of times when I talk about workers’ rights, when I talk about renters’ rights. It’s unbelievable

how disconnected a lot of members of the General Assembly are from real life for 95% of people,” Carter said.

“Fighting on the side of the working class in a legislature that’s dominated by bosses and investors, it gets pretty lonely,” Carter added.

It’s unclear how many General Assembly are bosses. But it is true that 77 of Virginia’s 140 legislators registered more than $100,000 in stocks and investments in Dec. 2019, according to legislators’ annual statement of economic interests compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project.

The same data shows that 64 of the state’s 140 legislators own property that generates rental income or is used for business.

By comparison, Carter currently

works as a Lyft driver and rents an apartment in Manassas.

“There aren’t many jobs out there that give you that kind of flexibility,” Carter said. “I’m going to do whatever it takes to make ends meet so I can stay here. And right now, that means driving for Lyft.”

Carter says he’s not planning on going back to electronics repair while serving as delegate; the hours just aren’t compatible with the General Assembly’s two-month long session and the biennial campaign schedule.

“Obviously, the pay sucks for a Lyft driver. Pay also sucks for a member of the House of Delegates. That’s why I have to do both,” Carter said.

PUBLIC SAFETY/OPINION

POLICE BRIEFS Woman stabbed in Manassas A Manassas woman was being held without bond last week after she forced her way into a West Gate area townhome early New Year’s Day and attacked and stabbed a 25-year-old female resident, according to police.

Officers responded at 8:14 a.m.

Wednesday, Jan. 1, to investigate a stabbing reported at a residence in the 8000 block of Portwood Turn in the West Gate area of Manassas earlier that morning, according to Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman of the Prince William County Police Department.

Stray bullets found inside Lake Ridge, Dale City homes Stray bullets were found on the floor of a bedroom and inside a decorative goblet in two area homes – one in Dale City, the other in Lake Ridge – that were struck by gunfire sometime late New Year’s Eve or early New Year’s Day morning, according to police.

Officers responded to a home in the 12900 block of Chaparral Drive in Lake Ridge at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 1, after the homeowner told police the residence was struck by a bullet sometime between 11 p.m.

Tuesday, Dec. 31, and 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 1.

The police investigation revealed “the round entered through the side of the home and struck multiple walls before landing in-

Woodbridge high-speed chase, Lake Ridge barricade arrest A Woodbridge man was being held without bond last week after he eluded police on a high-speed chase early Wednesday, Jan. 1, and nearly struck a police cruiser before f leeing on foot and finally barricading himself inside a Lake Ridge home, according to police.

Officers on patrol in the area of U.S. 1 and Bel Air Road in Woodbridge first made contact with the suspect at 12:48 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 1, when they attempted to stop a 2000 Volkswagen Passat, Carr said.

The vehicle sped off and continued to drive recklessly, attempting to strike a police cruiser. The officer driving the cruiser managed to avoid a collision, but the driver of the Passat continued to ignore the officer’s emergency equipment, including lights and siren, and accelerated away at a high rate of speed, Carr said in a news release.

Eventually, the vehicle stopped at a residence in the 1500 block of Woodside Drive, off Blackburn Road in Woodbridge, where the driver fled on foot. Despite a search aided by a police K-9 and Fairfax County helicopter, the

The investigation revealed that the victim, a 25-year-old woman, was at the home when an acquaintance forced her way inside.

The attacker eventually fled the residence on foot, and the victim went to the hospital for treatment, Carr said in a news release.

OPINION

Some suggestions for 2020 Allow us to recommend some resolutions that have nothing to do with weight loss or making a million dollars.

Be kind to yourself: Instead of heading to the gym for the fourth time this week, take a long walk – without either Rush Limbaugh or Rachel Maddow in your ear. Listen to the birds instead.

Hug a dog. Smile.

Laugh.

Do something silly.

Find a friend and play Pokemon Go. (Yes, it’s still a thing and it’s fun, even if you are older than 11.)

Allow yourself time to be blissfully unproductive.

Be kind to others: You will probably never know the effect your smile or simple act of human kindness will have on another person. It may go completely unnoticed, or it could save a life. That’s OK. Do it anyway.

Declutter your space and your mind: Imagine how good it would feel not to have four jars of pickles in the fridge that are past their “best by” date. That matcha drink powder you bought last August that tastes like mulch? It’s taking up space in your brain as well as your pantry. Let it go.

The pants that you told yourself you’d wear when you lost a few pounds… the board games that take a Ph.D. to figure out… the gifts you received from people who you thought knew you better… pack ‘em up and ship them out.

It’s tough. It might feel like giving up, but allow yourself permission to free yourself of stuff that doesn’t serve you.

Pause, just pause.

Take a tech break: Put your phone on “do not disturb” for a

few hours a day. You’ll be amazed at the conversations you’ll have, the expressions you’ll notice on the faces of those around you. It may be difficult at first; the lure of the text message is strong.

But you may come to look forward to the weighty absence of dinging and buzzing.

Write a letter, in cursive: If you still remember how.

Learn something new: Our community offers myriad classes and clubs that could allow you to try something you’ve always wanted to -- quilting, fishing, cooking, playing a musical instrument, learning a new language, painting, meditation, gardening, pickleball.

Be authentic: We are inundated with Facebook images and advertising messages that tell us we are too fat or too thin, too old or too young, too liberal or too conservative… Give yourself permission to be who you are, in all your imperfect inconsistency.

Take action where you can: 2020 promises to be a chaotic year. In just its first few days, uncertainty, fear, isolation and division anew threaten our country. Threats from inside and out are real and frightening. It is natural to feel overwhelmed and even helpless.

But there is power in taking action – whether it’s the simple act of writing a letter or donating to a cause, or the somewhat more complicated decision to run for office or start a nonprofit.

Use your voice, your talents and your passion to make a difference where you can.

Arguing with your cousin on social media doesn’t count.

SOIL & WATER, from page 3 Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the county is a priority for Bottino. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer. About 45% of greenhouse gas emissions in Virginia come from transportation.

“We have a huge traffic and transportation problem and that means emissions that we breathe in,” Bottino said. “We need to make sure that the county does everything it can to reduce emissions in its practices and its buildings.”

Bottino is from Naples, Italy, and currently lives in Woodbridge. She holds a master’s degree in energy, climate and policy from Johns Hopkins University.

Kahlon, 27, has previously served as chairman of the Brentsville Magisterial Democratic Committee.

Kahlon said the county’s biggest environmental challenge is keeping up with the increasing population and maintaining waterways.

Kahlon is an Indian immigrant from the Panjab region. He moved to the United States at the age 3 and resides in Gainesville. In 2017, Kahlon ran for the 13th House of Delegates district in 2017. He lost in the Democratic primary to Del. Danica Roem (D) who went on to win the seat.

“I ran for this position because I believe I can continue the good work of the conservation district and expand the purview of the board with fresh new ideas,” Kahlon added.

Prince William County Soil and Water Conservation district and a local farmer, said he’s looking forward to working with the newly elected board members.

“Our mission is to take available resources, financial resources and educational resources, and direct them to address water quality and soil erosion as far as our natural resources [are] concerned,” Yankey said. “The directors provide staff with guidance in carrying out the mission of the soil and water district.”

Marty Nohe, who served as Coles District supervisor on Prince William’s Board of County Supervisors from 2003 until 2019, started his career in public office as a soil and water director from 2002 to 2003.

“It’s an unusual position in that it’s an elected office that people vote for, just like supervisor, delegate or congressman, but most citizens have very little familiarity with the position,” Nohe said.

Nohe said the soil and water conservation district has a professional staff who does the day-to-day work, and the elected soil and water conservation directors aren’t necessarily out on the farms.

“Back in like the [19]30s this was really high-profile, important work in a community like Prince William County, which was a predominantly agricultural community,” Nohe said.

“Their role is different now than what it was originally was because times have changed.”

AN OMINOUS GROWL IN NOKESVILLE Tigers’ girls look like apex predators in Northwestern hoops race

By Jeff Malmgren

Girls standings

Times Staff Writer

Alden Yergey bumped into her coach along the sideline as she shot a 3-pointer from the southeast corner of Brentsville’s gym Friday.

That unusual contact knocked her off balance, so she ended up sprawled on the edge of court as her shot went in. But Yergey had a better view for many other baskets because her Tigers shot an impressive 60 percent in pounding Skyline 59-29 in their Class 3 Northwestern District opener.

“I’ve never seen them shoot this good,” Skyline coach Jim Kenney said. “Everything they threw up tonight went in.”

The Tigers are 9-1 (1-0 district) with five wins by more than 20 points. So despite significant graduation losses, Brentsville appears well-positioned to challenge William Monroe (6-2) for district supremacy.

They were set to play Tuesday, after Prince William Times deadlines.

Last season, powered by national recruit and current Notre Dame super freshman Sam Brunelle, Monroe went 24-3 and made the Class 3 state semis, while Brentsville was 18-6 and made the state quarters.

The Tigers now have only one senior in role player Sophia Stoernell, with six sophomores and two freshmen completing coach Eugene Baltimore’s youthful nine-player roster.

That includes a starting freshman point guard in Yergey.

“This season I think we can make a strong run” in the playoffs, she said, “but definitely in the future we’re looking to go all the way [to the state final]. If we just have tunnel vision and keep working hard … we can definitely get there.”

Sophomore Gabby Garrison thinks the Tigers are bonding well.

“Yeah, we lost our [four] seniors, but I knew we had two strong freshmen coming up and we would just keep continuing winning,” Garrison said. “We have a lot of kids on the team that are passionate about [basketball] and we have so much in common.”

Brentsville’s youth showed at times Friday, especially in their 18 turnovers, but Yergey played with

‘The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later’ onstage now in The Plains Dark Horse Theatre Company cast members presents “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later,” onstage through Jan. 25 at Grace Episcopal in The Plains.

Play recalls the impact of the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard

By Natasha Parnian Contributing Writer

On Oct. 6, 1998, college student Matthew Shepard, who was gay, was brutally beaten and tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming.

His 18 hours freezing alone on that fence and his resulting death shook Laramie residents to the core, while at the same time putting them squarely on the map.

Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie shortly after Shepard’s death to conduct in-person interviews in the town and transcribed those interviews into “The Laramie Project,” a play performed around the world.

Ten years later, Tectonic is back in Laramie, and Shepard’s murder still has the town reeling in its aftermath.

Dark Horse Theatre Company is presenting the D.C.-area premiere of “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later,” a play about how one hate crime shaped a community forever. While Laramie remains tied to Shepard, the question remains: How has Laramie changed? Or, has it changed at all?

Powered by a cast of 16 actors who bring more than 50 characters to life, “The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later” features the original words of the interviews conducted by Tectonic in 2008, including the chilling interviews with the murderers themselves.

The play opens with the narrator, played by Peyton Slade and understudy Cheryl Lane, introducing the audience back to the town of Laramie, Wyoming, where Tectonic company member Greg Pierotti, played by Ricardo Padilla, and University of Wyoming professor Beth Loffreda, played by Kimberly Kemp, discuss the anniversary of Shepard’s death and what Laramie has and hasn’t done since the murder.

Over the course of the play, the audience meets many of the same people from the first “Laramie Project” play, including now-retired police officer Reggie Fluty, played by Allison Turkel, who found Shepard at the fence.

Fluty reminisces about how her discovery of Shepard led to the police force giving her all its high-profile cas-

es, stretching her so thin that she had to retire “to learn how to sleep again.”

Many of the other Laramie citizens were also deeply affected personally

by Shepard’s murder. Shepard’s friend Romaine Patterson, played by Nailah Hunter, talks about how his murder led to her becoming a gay-rights activist and about how she has learned to separate “Matthew Shepard,” the iconic hate crime, from her deceased friend.

The play also reflects the different ways some in Laramie saw and were affected by Shepard’s murder.

Lead investigator Dave O’ Malley, played by Matt Thomas, relives his frustration with a ”20/20” interview that centered around the idea that Shepard’s murder was not a homophobic-fueled hate crime, but rather a drug incident. This misrepresentation of the murderers’ motives sparked an uproar in the Laramie community; both among people who opposed the direction of the interview, and among those who agreed it was not a hate crime and wanted Laramie to stop being labeled a “homophobic community.”

This division in opinion sparks much of the debate about whether Laramie has changed at all; and if so, for good or for ill?

The question of remorse is heavy on the minds of the people of Laramie and the center of the interviews with Shepard’s killers, Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney, both played by Matthew Butcher and understudy Cary Reese.

These in-jail interviews, conducted by Tectonic members Greg Pierotti and Stephen Belber, played by Matt Thomas, offer a chilling look inside the minds of the men who committed this atrocity. While the two executed the crime together, their reflections on remorse and regret differ wildly.

The contrast between the killers and their views on the Shepard’s beating and ultimate death are dramatic.

“The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later” is a timely play about the intersecting effects one violent incident had on a community’s history.

Written by Tectonic Theater Project and directed by Natasha Parnian with apprentice directors Sarah Akers and Audra Jacobs, this play will remind audiences of how their own choices can affect themselves, their communities and their futures.

The collective is a workforce development program that trains new beekeeper-entrepreneurs to maintain honey bee hives for profit. The goal is to create economic opportunities for rural families by helping members learn the art, science and business of earning a sustainable income through beekeeping, according to a news release.

OBITUARIES

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | January 8, 2020

OBITUARIES Dorothy Elsie Benz Dallas Dorothy Elsie Benz Dallas was a grand force of life. Dottie was an accomplished and highly lauded artist in watercolor and mixed media.

She was the devoted mother of four, whom she taught the value of hard work, the importance of education, the thrill of modern art, and the meaning of true devotion through her 67 years of marriage to the love of her life, Dr. Donald P. Dallas. Born a New Yorker, she and Donald raised their children in New York and New Jersey, and then moved to The Plains, Virginia near her daughter and family in 2007. Dottie was proud of her six grandsons, to whom she loved reading stories when they were little, each of whom is a lucky beneficiary of her extraordinary artistic and intellectual DNA. A lifelong lover of learning, she spoke German and read Latin. It was in 9th grade Latin class at Newtown High School in Elmhurst, New York, where a young man named Donald Dallas spied her from across the room. He knew a good thing when he saw it. They were married in 1952, when Donald was in his second year of medical school at Columbia (now Vagelos) College of Physicians and Surgeons.

She was graduated from Pratt Institute in 1950 with a certificate in Interior Design, and received her B.F.A. in 1978 and M.F.A. in 1982 from Pratt as well. In the ’50s,The New Yorker ran an article about the emerging diversity in the field of architecture, quoting a Voorhees partner that they had “a large sprinkling of young women” along with “a very charming girl” who “is now a very vital part of our organization.”

Dottie was that charming girl.

Over her many years painting watercolors, she received countless awards, including the American Watercolor Society Millard Sheets Medal (2004), the New Jersey Watercolor Society Members Show 1st Prize (1981), and the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club Zahn Award (1988) and Gold Medal (1998). She was a member of numerous prestigious art societies, including the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Society, which she served as President from 1989 to 1992, and, as of 1985, New York’s Salmagundi Club, one of the oldest and most esteemed art societies in the United States.

Dottie painted in an abstract style, referencing her subject matter obliquely. Her beautiful paintings included abstracts of the Palisades on the Hudson River, near her home in Englewood, New Jersey, the Cloisters, across the Hudson River, landscapes and objects in Santa Fe, and the countryside in England and Italy. Her art was luminous and inviting. One day she noticed a gallery visitor sitting on the floor in front of one of her paintings. The visitor said she couldn’t stop staring at it. She bought it.

Her art was often rhythmic, echoing musical patterns and harmonies, informed by her lifelong love of music. A pianist, she loved to play Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, as well as Christmas carols, which she sang gleefully out of key. She also loved the music of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and Love Potion No. 9 was a feature at many cocktail parties she and Donald hosted through the years. “Their” song was “Le Mer,” preferably sung by Bobby Darrin.

Dottie had an unbridled competitive spirit, and mercilessly took lessons at every sport she and Donald played, including paddleball, tennis, and ice skating, which naturally led to her beating him in each of them. This indomitable spirit was one of the reasons Dotty lived until age 89, long after the onset of Alzheimer’s 15 years ago. The other was the unflagging, devoted, and loving care of her husband, who never left her side, ever, for 67 years. Theirs is a love story that inspires all their children and grandsons like no other.

The family will be hosting a gathering in celebration of Dottie’s grand life sometime in 2020.

In the meantime, in lieu of flowers, her family welcomes donations to any organization supporting the search for a cure for Alzheimer’s.

OBITUARIES Page Lewis (Sam) LaPrade, Jr.

Robert “BOB” E. Breuninger

Page Lewis (Sam) LaPrade, Jr. of Warrenton, Virginia passed away peacefully and with grace with his family at his side at Inova Fairfax Hospital on December 31, 2019.

Beloved husband to Mary Elizabeth (Betty) LaPrade; proud father of John Marshall LaPrade, Andrew Taylor LaPrade, and Sarah LaPrade Vaughn; father-in-law of Zachary Vaughn; and grandfather (PeePaw) of the precious Vivian Elizabeth Vaughn.

He is survived by sisters Nicholette Jenkins, Rhonda Ikenberry (John), Khristian Naimo, and brother Bryan LaPrade (Tiffany).

Sam, as he was known to family and friends, was born and raised in Henry and Franklin Counties, Virginia. As a boy, he enjoyed spending time on his grandparents’ farms, was a volunteer member of the Franklin County Rescue Squad, and was a stand-out H.S. football player. Sam was a remarkable musician, an incredibly talented guitar player from the early age of 6 years old, a gift he would share throughout his life. He attended Virginia Military Institute graduating in 1976, where he met his wife, Betty, while she was studying at Hollins University. A year later, they began what would be 42 years of marriage together.

Sam was commissioned into the Air Force and he and Betty began their military journey around the United States. With each new assignment their family grew. Sam earned his Master’s Degree from Troy State University and attended numerous other military colleges. As an Officer in the United States Air Force, a few positions that Sam held included Deputy Program Manager, MILSTAR Satellite Program; Squadron Commander, ESC; White House staff officer; and Aide de Camp to the Mission Chief, U.S. Military Technical Training Mission, Saudi Arabia. After retirement from the military in 1994, Sam and his family settled in Warrenton, Virginia. He held numerous civilian and Federal Government positions, before eventual retirement at the end of September 2019, from Defense Information Systems Agency, Joint Interoperability Test Command.

Not easily influenced by sartorial trends, Sam was a fan of cargo shorts, cowboy boots, and Hawaiian shirts (sometimes all at the same time). He was a lover of westerns, beautiful guitars, poetry, collecting and repairing watches, and chocolate ice cream. He put pepper on everything and would drink a cup of hot coffee while sitting on the beach. Sam loved watching hummingbirds in his front yard and assigned names to each visitor of his feeders. Riding in his truck with Peggy Sue, the family’s cairn terrier, was also a favorite activity. Most importantly, he treasured every moment he spent with his wife, children, and granddaughter. Sam was a kind and sensitive soul, a champion of the underdog, and possessed an infectious laugh and mischievous smile. He could tell a story!

Sam was a caring and loving husband, a supportive and proud father, and a devoted grandfather. He will be eternally missed, but leaves us with rich memories.

Memorial services to be held at The Episcopal Church of Leeds Parish, 4332 Leeds Manor Rd., Markham, VA on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Interment at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.
