New planning commission gets to work No timeline yet on rural crescent debate By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William Planning Commission will add three new members to its roster this year, but there’s no word yet on when the panel will resume discussion on one of the county’s most consequential land-use debates: what to do about the 72,000 acres known as the “rural crescent.” The planning commission’s primary duty is to advise Prince William’s Board of County Supervisors on all things related to the county’s growth and development. That includes preparing and revising the county’s com-

prehensive plan, which is reviewed at least once every five years. The previous planning commission already approved several “small area plans” and other additions to be included in the new comprehensive plan, dubbed “Pathway to 2040,” but passed the baton on other issues, including the “rural area preservation plan,” which county staff proposed last fall. As proposed, the plan could add as many as 475 additional homes in the rural area while sending more than 3,400 “development rights” to more populated areas of the county – all in

Some area farmers and developers support parts of the plan that would permit cluster developments and sewer connections for new homes

in exchange for placing large tracts of land into conservation easements. Some residents, meanwhile, oppose those changes if they boost housing density in the rural area. See COMMISSION, page 2

AmeriCorps team deployed to Manassas battlefield to renovate key staff building By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

The mission of Manassas National Battlefield Park is to help people learn about two pivotal Civil War battles: the First and Second Battles of Bull Run. But that can be a challenge when a key staff building falls into disrepair. That was the situation that prompted the National Park Service staff to

call on the AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps for help. The battlefield’s headquarters building on Pageland Lane had a problem with frequent flooding and needed new flooring, new drywall, an inside paint job and a drainage fix to keep water from pouring inside during heavy rains. Six AmeriCorps NCCC members arrived at the battlefield two weeks ago to tackle the work.

Led by Park Service staff, the team of 19- through 23-year-olds have begun digging a trench outside the building to redirect stormwater and improve drainage. They’re also working inside to repair the damage so the park’s human, natural and cultural resources staff have a safe and dry place to work.

The Virginia Department of Transportation is recommending up to $1.7 billion in road improvements to reduce traffic on Interstate 95 including reversible rush-hour lanes, lane extensions, interchange improvements and shoulder widenings. Those are just a few of the improvements identified in the interim I-95 Corridor Improvement Plan, which proposed strategies and improvements to relieve congestion along the entire I-95 corridor in Virginia. The study identified 11 Northern Virginia projects at the cost of $748 million, including “Red-X” lanes that would be open southbound in the morning and northbound in the evening between the Occoquan River and U.S. 17 near Fredericksburg. The Red-X lanes would be separate from the tolled Express Lanes, which run in the middle of I-95. The Red-X lanes would instead run along the shoulders of the road and would not be tolled. The new lanes would not conflict with the state’s agreement with Transurban, the private company that owns the Express Lanes, according to Ben Mannell, a See INTERSTATE 95, page 5

COMMISSION, from page 1 The area known as the rural crescent is a swath of more than 72,000 acres along the county’s western and northern reaches where development is currently limited to one home per 10 acres. County officials established the rural crescent boundaries in 1998 in an effort to put the brakes on booming residential development. The staff recommendations for the area attracted plenty of attention last fall from rural residents both in favor and in opposition. The planning commission held initial meetings on the proposed changes in October and November, but ultimately decided to suspend further action until after the November election. It remains unclear when the commission will continue its work on the plan, or when it will head to a vote. Planning Commissioner Bill Milne, who served as planning commission chair last year, will return this year as Supervisor Victor Angry’s appointee. Milne replaces former Neabsco planning commissioner Bruce Holley. On Friday, Milne said the commission’s schedule is “in flux” and does not yet include any work sessions on the rural plan. “Many pieces of the plan have not been addressed yet,” Milne said. Deputy County Executive Rebecca Horner, who was recently promoted from her former post as planning director, said staff is in the process of creating a schedule and timeline for the land-use and mobility chapters of the comprehensive plan. The schedule should be released soon, Horner said. “We do not have anything scheduled on the rural area at this time,” Horner said in an email. “We are prepared to bring them forward at any time. The planning commission has not had a regular meeting yet this year, so I’ll be talking with them about their thoughts on scheduling soon.” Mark Granville-Smith, a developer and member of the Rural Crescent Preservation Coalition, which is lobbying in support of some aspects of the AMERICORPS, from page 1 “When we have buildings that are at their peak, we can provide better services to the public,” said Michael Donoto, a National Park Service management analyst directing the AmeriCorps team. The headquarters project is part of a long list of deferred maintenance at Manassas National Battlefield Park that Superintendent Brandon Bies said earlier this year totaled about $8.9 million. While the battlefield benefits from the AmeriCorps’ help, the six team members get a chance to hone their carpentry, electrical, plumbing and landscaping skills. The job at the battlefield will take about six weeks. It’s the team’s fifth assignment in their 10-month stint as AmeriCorps’ volunteers. Prior to arriving in Manassas in January, the team had already served in Puerto Rico, Florida, Louisiana and Massachusetts. In Puerto Rico and Panama City, Florida, the group was assigned tasks related to hurricane relief. In Louisiana, they helped establish community gardens, and in Massachusetts, they worked with Habitat for Humanity, said Jesse Kotnik, one of the AmeriCorps volunteers who also handles community outreach. Three of the team members working at the battlefield came to the AmeriCorps after finishing their bachelor’s degrees. The other three, including Kotnik, joined after com-

staff’s plan, said Friday he’s not sure what to expect from the new supervisors or planning commissioners when it comes to changes to the rural crescent. “I’m just going to wait and see,” Granville-Smith said. Meanwhile, the nonprofit Prince William Conservation Alliance continues to urge the board of supervisors to reject plans for higher density in the rural area. Prince William Conservation Alliance Executive Director Kim Hosen said Monday that supervisors should focus on adopting policies that will direct new development to areas around transit. “Given today’s concerns about climate change and affordable housing, the core principles of the rural crescent are more relevant today than ever,” Hosen said. The Prince William Conservation Alliance is advocating for incentives programs to protect the county’s rural area, including adopting and funding a purchase of development rights program and making information on conservation easements

pleting high school. All said they joined to serve their country and learn new skills. No experience is needed to join AmeriCorps, which has programs for 18- through 24-year-olds as well as senior citizens. Kotnik, who is from Daytona Beach, Florida, studied welding and plumbing in high school and said he wanted to get more training before hitting the job market. The team also includes Katerina Trapp, 23, from Midlothian, Virginia, who joined AmeriCorps after earning a bachelor’s degree in sociology and criminology from Christopher Newport University; Brook Haynes, 22, of Indiana, who joined after completing her degree in political science and conflict studies at Ball State University; Maggie VanHeuklon, 23, of Wisconsin, who earned her degree in public health from the University of Wisconsin at Lacrosse; and Matthew Robinson, 20, of Minnesota, and Lucas Sewell, 19, of Iowa, who joined after high school. Sewell said he wanted to further his trade skills and hopes to someday be a professional electrician. All said they’d learned a lot while working with AmeriCorps and would recommend it to their friends. “I’ve learned a ton,” Robinson said. “I’m amazed by the skills I’ve learned from other people.” Haynes, of Indiana, said she entered the program not knowing much more than how to pound a nail

available to landowners. The first Planning Commission meeting of 2020 will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. at the James J. McCoart Administration Building. Commissioners are selected by individual supervisors. Each can appoint one commissioner. New members include: Juan McPhail, who was appointed by Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac. McPhail is a resident of Woodbridge and a project manager for the U.S. General Services Administration in the National Capital Region. McPhail has worked for the GSA since 1998. McPhail is also a trustee of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Dumfries. Joseph Fontanella Jr., who was appointed by Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, is a resident of Manassas. He worked for 18 years for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Alexandria. Fontanella served as director of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ U.S. Army Geospatial Center from 2011 until he retired in 2018. Prior to his work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fontanella served as a U.S. Army battalion commander and U.S. Army engineer officer in a variety of command and staff assignments both overseas and in the U.S. Ron Yoho, who has been recommended for appointment by Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, has lived in the county for more than 30 years. He worked for 20 years at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency at Fort Belvoir, a combat support agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. Yoho served as deputy chief information officer for the agency from 2015 until his retirement in 2018 and previously served as chairman of the Prince William County Board of Equalization. A new chair and vice chair are appointed annually by the members of the commission. According to the Planning Commission’s by-laws and procedures, the nomination and election of officers will occur at the first meeting of the year. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com

VanHeuklon said the best part of working with AmeriCorps is helping communities across the East Coast. “You get to see the direct impact of your work,” she said. In exchange for their efforts, AmeriCorps members get free housing (at the battlefield, they are staying at a home on park grounds), a modest monthly stipend and about $6,000 to put toward their college loans or to pay for future coursework. AmeriCorps members typically serve 10-month terms, but can serve longer if they want to, Kotnik said. Part of their mission is to spread the word about the opportunities

Cost delays new Prince William animal shelter until fall 2021 By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County’s long-awaited new animal shelter likely won’t be finished until fall 2021, at least six months later than its initial February 2021 completion date, due to higher-than-expected construction estimates. County Director of Public Works Thomas Bruun said during the board of supervisors’ Tuesday, Jan. 21 meeting that the design process and construction costs have delayed the project. But Bruun said county staff hopes to have a resolution before the board sometime in the next few weeks. Once approved by the board, construction of the 27,000-square-foot animal shelter will take 18 months, Bruun said. The new shelter will be located at 14807 Bristow Road, near the existing county animal shelter. The county allotted $10.5 million for the general construction of the new facility, which had been projected to cost a total of $14.2 million. Bruun said the lowest contract bid for construction was $13.2 million, about $2.7 million over budget. Bruun said county staff are working to bring the project under budget. “We have been working alongside the low bidder to identify cost savings, things that are taken out of the project temporarily to get the construction amount down to an amount so that we can come back to

The new shelter will be 27,200 square feet and include 56 dog kennels and 104 cat kennels. the board and award this construction contract,” Bruun said. Some of the cost saving measures include decreasing site development, modifying the roof, making changes in mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, paving less of the gravel parking lot, substituting interior furnishings, leaving out a new barn and making changes to interior kennel surfaces, Bruun said in a county press release. During the Jan. 21 meeting, Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, said she is concerned the project might not meet the expectations of the board and Prince William County residents. “This is a shelter that is one shelter to serve the entire county,” Lawson said. “I just want to make sure

Plan for 38 townhomes, day care center advances in Haymarket By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Haymarket Town Council is considering a developer’s plan to build 38 townhomes, a commercial building and day care center on land along Washington Street and Hunting Path Road in Haymarket. The proposal from Van Metre Communities LLC received the backing of the town’s planning commission on Jan. 21. It now heads to the town council, which has scheduled the hearing for its 7 p.m. meeting on Monday, Feb. 3 The land slated for the project is undeveloped and abuts the Longstreet Commons townhouse community. A commercial two-story building and the preschool would front Washington Street. The townhouses would be set back further on the lot between Longstreet Commons on one side and the commercial building and preschool on the other. A new access driveway would connect the townhomes with Washington Street. Haymarket Town Councilman Steve Shannon, the council’s liaison to the planning commission, spoke favorably about the preschool planned for the site and the commercial building that he said could have

This site along Hunting Path Road is slated for 38 new townhomes, a day care and a commercial building in Haymarket. a restaurant or coffee shop. The 4.8-acre site is zoned B-1 for business development. The town’s current zoning ordinance allows townhouses as a by right use in a transitional commercial district. The proposed project “would actively work to achieve blending of residential to commercial along Washington Street and secondary streets,” the report said. Staff also said the proposal would not adversely affect the use or value of surrounding properties or structures, which, besides Longstreet Commons, includes Haymarket Baptist Church, VCA Healthy Paws veterinary office and a dental office.

that is not getting undercut.” Bruun said he believes the county would be delivering a “state-of-theart facility.” The supervisors voted 7 to 1 on Sept. 19, 2017, to approve the construction of a $14.2 million animal shelter to replace the existing shelter, which is now 45 years old. The decision came after much debate about how much the county should spend and what features the shelter should include. Several community members lobbied for the supervisors to approve the $14.2 million design – the second-most expensive option -- because of its many features. The design, dubbed “Option C,” would be more than four times bigger than the current shelter and would accommodate 106 cats and 56 dogs.

Back in 2017, the new shelter was promised to feature a large, “welcoming” lobby; “complete” veterinarian space, including room for isolation, quarantine and recovery; offices for animal control officers and a multi-purpose room for staff and community events, according to a county report. Its features were said to comply with the Association of Shelter Veterinarian guidelines for community animal shelters. According to an audit of the animal shelter conducted before the 2017 vote, the facility was serving about 5,400 animals annually and euthanizing about 20 percent. About 12 percent of the dogs in the shelter’s care were being put down, the audit found. Although the shelter does not euthanize animals because of a lack of space, the audit blamed overcrowding on stressful conditions that sometimes result in aggressive behavior that can prevent dogs from being eligible for adoption. For those reasons and others, the county board has been discussing renovating or replacing the existing shelter for more than a decade but put it off because of recession-driven budget constraints and then because of the need to prioritize other capital-improvement projects, including police and fire stations, park improvements, new libraries and schools.

Hundreds rally at the Capitol for better school funding By Emma Gauthier Capital News Service

Bells chiming through Capitol Square in Richmond were drowned out Monday as hundreds of education advocates dressed in red chanted for lawmakers to “fund our future.” The Virginia Education Association, the Virginia American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations organized the rally to restore school funding to pre-recession levels, increase teacher pay and reinstate collective bargaining. An estimated 600 to 800 people attended the rally, according to The Division of Capitol Police. Participants wore red in support of Red for Ed, a nationwide campaign advocating for a better education system. Speakers took to the podium, including VEA President Jim Livingston and Vice President James Fedderman. “We do this for our children, they are the reason we are here,” Livingston said. “They are the reason we put our blood, sweat and tears into this profession that we call public education…. Last year we demonstrated our power to tell the General Assembly that it is time, it is past

time, to fund our future.” Prince William County schools had a teacher workday on Monday, but Superintendent Steven Walts approved professional leave for any school division employees who opted to attend the rally, according to Riley O’Casey, a middle school teacher and president of the Prince William Education Association. About 25 Prince William teachers lobbied legislators Monday morning and about 70 were expected to attend the rally, O’Casey said. O’Casey said most Virginians probably don’t realize the state ranks 40th  in the country in education funding and that we pay our teachers

Senate moves to scrap LeeJackson Day for Election Day holiday By Zach Armstrong Capital News Service

Virginia lawmakers have advanced Senate bills that make voting easier, including not requiring an excuse to vote absentee and scrapping Lee-Jackson Day to recognize Election Day as a state holiday. Senate Bill 601 designates Election Day as a state holiday to give more voters the chance to cast their ballots. The bill also would strike from current law Lee-Jackson Day, which celebrates the birthdays of two Confederate generals. The legislation, introduced by Sen. L. Louise Lucas, D-18th, of Portsmouth, passed the Senate Tuesday, Jan. 21. “Even on Election Day, people have to go to work, people have to handle childcare, people have to go to class and often it can be hard to make it to the polls,” said Del. Ibraheem Samirah, D-87th, of Herndon. “It just makes sense that those folks should be given the opportunity to come out and vote in a time window that works for them.” A bill that removes the need for an excuse to cast an absentee ballot passed the Senate Monday. SB 111, introduced by Sen. Janet Howell, D-32nd, of Reston, permits any registered voter to vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he is

$8,500 less than the national average. “I think if more people knew these facts, those numbers would change—especially when they realize that it’s our children who are being shortchanged,” O’Casey said in an email. “In a recent … poll, 70 percent of Virginians say they’re willing to pay higher taxes to increase school funding.” Legislators announced that teachers would receive a 5% salary increase in the state budget.

The Virginia Department of Education stated that the budgeted average salary for teachers statewide in 2020 is $60,265. However, teachers in many counties and cities will be paid less than that, with the lowest average salary in Grayson County Public Schools at $39,567. Arlington County Public School teachers will have the highest average salary in the state at $81,129, with other Northern Virginia schools close behind. The VDE report showed that in 2017, Virginia ranked 32nd in the country with an average teacher salary of $51,994, compared to the national average of $60,477. At the rally, Amanda Reisner, kindergarten teacher at E.D. Redd Elementary School in Richmond, said, “We are often putting our own money into things and we need help. We have buildings that are falling apart, we don’t have enough supplies, we don’t have enough technology.”

Senate moves to require schools to stock menstrual supplies Affects all schools serving fifth through 12th grades By Maia Stanley

qualified to vote. Several other bills that facilitate ease of absentee voting are SB 46, which would remove the requirement that a person applying for an absentee ballot provide a reason to receive the ballot; SB 455, which would extend the deadline when military and overseas absentee ballots can be received; SB 617, which would authorize localities to create voter satellite offices to support absentee voting; and SB 859, which would make absentee voting easier for people who have been hospitalized. Legislation in the House includes a bill that would also allow for no excuse absentee voting, automatic voter registration and same-day voter registration. In the Senate, a bill would pre-register teens 16 years old and older to vote and one bill in the House would reduce the period of time registration records must be closed before an election. All House bills are in an elections subcommittee. “Restrictive voting provisions almost always disproportionately affect people of color and low-income individuals because those are the groups that move more frequently, work multiple jobs and have less spare time,” said Jenny Glass, director of advocacy for the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia.

The Virginia Senate unanimously passed this week a bill requiring public schools to include free menstrual products in student bathrooms. Senate Bill 232 applies to schools that educate fifth to 12th-graders. According to the Virginia Department of Education, this encompasses 132 school districts and almost over 630,000 female students. “I would like to see that the supplies are available, just like other supplies that we keep in the bathroom,” said state Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-33rd, of Fairfax County, the legislation’s chief patron. Boysko introduced the bill to make it more convenient for students to access menstrual products and help them avoid accidents. “This is a necessity and girls can’t carry out their school day without it,” Boysko said. “Some girls are missing school time and end up going home and missing classes because of these kinds of challenges.” According to Boysko, school budgets currently cover menstrual product expenses, but they are often kept in the nurse’s office, making it inconvenient for students. Karen Keys-Gamarra believes menstrual products need to be more accessible at Fairfax County Public Schools, where she is a school board member. “We typically provided menstrual supplies in the nurse’s office, which was, in my opinion, inappropriate in that we were treating this bodily function as something you need to

see a nurse for,” Keys-Gamarra said. The district began a pilot program last fall providing free menstrual products in school bathrooms to improve access to menstrual products. Last year, Gov. Ralph Northam signed the Dignity Act sponsored by Boysko, which standardized taxes on hygiene products, such as pads, tampons and diapers to 2.5% statewide, in effort to make feminine hygiene products more affordable. The tax previously varied from 2.5% to 7%, depending on the part of the state. Boysko also introduced a bill this session to eliminate the tax on menstrual products. “Women don’t have a choice about these products. They’ve been treated just like any other luxury product,” Boysko said. “There are a lot of people who feel like it’s actually an unfair taxation on women.” Menstrual products are not covered by government grocery assistance programs, and some families can’t afford sanitary products. “There are students here in Virginia, and all over the world, who are not able to get to school because they don’t have the products, they can’t afford them,” Boysko said during the committee meeting. Four states, California, Illinois, New York and New Hampshire, currently require schools to provide free menstrual products in women’s bathrooms. Boysko hopes to make Virginia the fifth state to have that requirement.

POLICE BRIEFS No arrests yet in shootings that wounded 2 Manassas boys City of Manassas police are still looking for two suspects who shot two boys on Monday, Jan. 20, who were sitting in a vehicle parked on Bragg Lane in Manassas. The boys, whose names and ages have not been disclosed, were treated for serious but non-life-threatening gunshot wounds at a local hospital and have been released, according to Officer Sarah Maroney, spokeswoman for the City of Manassas Police Department. Police responded to the area at 8:17 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 20, after someone in the area reported hearing gunshots, Maroney said in Jan. 22 email. The investigation revealed two suspects confronted the boys while they were sitting inside vehicle, which was

Man arrested in Manassas sentenced on heroin charges A Washington, D.C. man who was arrested in Manassas last September was sentenced in federal court Friday to serve more than nine years in prison for supplying over 770 grams of heroin to dealers in Northern Virginia in 2017. According to court documents, Jeffrey Moten, 46, provided approximately 770 grams of heroin to an unidentified dealer for redistribution between March and December 2017. The dealer then sold heroin to others, including to an undercover law enforcement officer, for a total profit of more $60,000. Moten is a career offender with four prior drug-related felony convictions, federal prosecutors said in the news release. According to court documents, in March 2017 law enforcement officials began investigating a group of people suspected of distributing cocaine and other drugs in Northern Virginia and identified Moten as the “source of supply for heroin and cocaine.” On July 5, 2017, investigators with the ATF, the FBI and Prince William County police arrested an unidenti-

The suspects fled the area prior to police officers’ arrival. Police have not yet released information about the suspects’ descriptions or what kind of vehicle the boys were in when they were shot. Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to contact City of Manassas police on its non-emergency line at 703-257-8000. Information can also be reported anonymously to the Manassas/ Manassas Park Crime Solvers at 703-330-0330 or through the “p3 tips” app on mobile devices.

The unidentified person agreed to speak to law enforcement about his supplier, who he and another unidentified person met in Washington, D.C. to obtain drugs. Investigators later determined that the supplier was Moten, according to the court documents. On April 11, 2017, the U.S. Marshal Service and Prince William County police arrested a third unidentified “cooperating defendant” who was in possession of about two grams of fentanyl, one gram of MDMA and a firearm, according to the court documents. The third man identified his supplier, known to him as “Doe,” as Moten, according to the court documents.

INTERSTATE 95, from page 1 VDOT project manager who led a Jan. 27 community meeting on the I-95 plan in Fredericksburg. The plan also recommends several shorter road widenings, shoulder widenings, extended on- and off-ramps, and two interchange improvements between Fredericksburg and Northern Virginia, including at the Fairfax County Parkway and at Exit 126. A final version the of the I-95 plan is expected later this year after VDOT conducts a similar study on the Interstate 64 corridor this summer. VDOT is recommending that the proposed I-95 improvements be prioritized along with the projects proposed for I-64. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) is backing a major transportation bill that includes a 4-cent increase in the state’s gas tax annually for three years to help fund the state’s transportation projects. The I-95 plan recommends about $65 million in operational upgrades in the short-term, such as additional traffic cameras, increased towing and safety service patrols, changeable message signs to warn of traffic incidents, variable speed limits and “ramp metering” at 14 on-ramps in Northern Virginia. The interim plan also identified 26 multimodal projects totaling $376 million that include improved commuter bus and passenger train access, more park-and-ride lots and improved transportation demand management. The plan recommends improvements to the Crystal City and L’En-

fant Virginia Railway Express stations and additional peak period trains on the Fredericksburg line. VDOT noted the proposed multimodal improvements in the Northern Virginia and Fredericksburg districts cost considerably less than building a new main travel lane throughout the corridor, which is estimated to cost $12.5 billion. That’s a significant cost savings in terms of potential performance benefits, the report notes. As a result of the proposed multimodal projects, VDOT anticipates increases in the number of people carpooling, vanpooling, taking commuter rail and taking commuter buses during the morning peak period in the five northernmost portions of the corridor. “At the Occoquan River, a major bottleneck along the corridor, the study team projects an increase of approximately 7,700 multimodal persons moved during the morning peak period,” the study said. The plan proposes 12 new commuter bus routes in the corridor, including a new route from Lake Ridge to Old Town Alexandria. The other 11 would serve the City of Fredericksburg and Stafford and Spotsylvania counties with destinations including the Mark Center, Old Town Alexandria, Crystal City, the Pentagon, Rosslyn/Ballston and Washington, D.C. The study’s findings include $13 to $15 million in upgrades along detour routes like U.S. 1 and U.S. 301 such as lane reconfigurations, turn-lane extensions and signal modifications.

Time to end surprise medical bills in Virginia A slip, fall, burn, asthma attack or allergic reaction: Any of these can take a family to the ER, where Virginians with health insurance reasonably expect to be treated quickly, well, and at no more cost than their standard copay or deductible. Unfortunately, a phenomenon called “balance billing” means this is not always the case. Today, insured patients are receiving bills for emergency health care services they received at in-network hospitals. Why? Because they were unknowingly treated by an out-ofnetwork provider, or because their insurance company later deemed their diagnosis insufficient to warrant emergency treatment. Either way, patients are being thrust into confusing health care reimbursement conflicts and left liable for payment. It is the duty of my fellow legislators and myself to work together to guarantee accessible and affordable healthcare for every Virginian. There is one simple step we can take in the General Assembly this winter: Virginia must end the practice of balance billing for emergency care and remove patients from involvement in complicated payment disputes. That is exactly what my proposal–House Bill 1251–would do. Balance billing saddles insured patients with unexpected medical debt and can cause financial stress for Virginia families. These surprise medical bills may occur if a patient visits an in-network hospital for emergency care and is treated by an out-of-network provider–a scenario that’s hard to eliminate, as emergency departments treat everyone without consideration of insurance status. Additionally, insurers can choose not to cover their customers’ treatment after an ER visit based on a subjective and opaque “final diagnosis,” leaving patients stuck holding the bill. Virginians with health insurance should be able to access emergency care without later finding out their insurer has refused coverage in the

form of a surprise medical bill. My proposal would ensure that emergency care is covered regardless of final diagnosis and ban the practice of balance billing, removing the covered patient from the billing process altogether. When an out-of-network ER doctor treats a patient, they’ll get paid a regional average reimbursement, and the patient won’t be on the hook for any more than their standard copay or deductible. If there is a billing disagreement between doctor and insurer, it will be sent to impartial mediation – not the patient’s doorstep. In fixing balance billing, it is critical to determine payment in a fair and transparent way that doesn’t unduly advantage one side over the other – physicians or insurers. Other proposals want to tilt the scales totally in favor of the insurance industry. Today, insurance companies already have the upper hand in rate negotiations; they can refuse to negotiate with emergency physicians or set low reimbursement rates, further destabilizing struggling rural hospitals. The advantage of my bill is that it guarantees a level playing field for doctors and insurers. My colleagues in the General Assembly and I have the chance to help patients in a real way this session. Passing HB 1251 will ensure that in an emergency situation, families can focus on getting the care they need – not how much it might cost them down the road. Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, represents part of eastern Prince William County in the House of Delegates and is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

Sluggers line up for rides at the Horner Road commuter lot last January.

Time for policymakers to recognize and support slugging There are a lot of news and social postings on traffic every day in Northern Virginia. However, one of the most ingenious commuter systems has been overlooked for decades. If we hope to dissuade commuters from single-occupancy vehicles, we have to rethink our strategies and better promote and support slugging along with carpools, vanpools and public transit. Slugging is a mode of commuting in Northern Virginia in which commuters along Interstate 95 corridor line up at designated “sluglines” at park-and-ride lots to get to destinations including the Pentagon, Rosslyn, Crystal City and key D.C. locations. Drivers pick up riders for free to fulfill the I-95 Express Lanes’ HOV-3 requirements, allowing them to use the toll lanes for free. Riders get a fast, flexible and free ride. Both riders and drivers save a lot in both money and time. To put slugging in perspective, its daily ridership, at about 20,000, is similar to that of the Virginia Railway Express, which had about 19,000 daily riders in 2019. Slugging removes about 6,500 vehicles from I-95 every day. The work culture is changing. Information workers in the DC metro area have flexible hours; some work four, 10-hours days. Telework is on the rise. In 2000, only 1% of DMV was teleworking, not about 17% of Virginians telework at least one day a week. New technology, highspeed internet and remote access have given employees flexibility to accomplish their work from any location. Parents stagger their schedules to align with their kids’ daycare, school and activity schedules. Slugging provides a better work-life balance for parents to switch their commuting time based on the kids’, work or even each other’s schedules. To fix traffic congestion, we should take all modes of transportation, technology and modern work environments into consideration

KALAI KANDASAMY GUEST OPINION and recognize slugging for what it is: an important strategy for daily commuting. To better facilitate slugging, local and state policy makers must: Design park-and-ride lots to include safe, secure and adequately-sized pickup and drop-off points for slugging riders and drivers that are marked with appropriate signage, such as the one at the Pentagon. Designate slug pickup locations along the Interstate 66 corridor to encourage slugging during temporary Metro shutdowns and to prepare for 2022, when the express lanes will switch from HOV-2 to HOV-3. Designate curbside staging areas for afternoon slugline pickups from Tysons, Springfield, Rosslyn and Crystal City. Develop policy across federal and regional transportation departments to support slugging with the necessary infrastructure and signage needed for successful morning and evening sluglines in both the I-95 and I-66 corridors. Slugging helps the Pentagon lead the region with the lowest number of single-passenger vehicle trips, with just 34% of its workers commuting that way compared to 54% of federal employees overall and 73% of commuters in the D.C. area. The Pentagon’s leadership supports slugging, knowing that fewer than 50% of the sluggers actually work at the Pentagon. It’s time that our state lawmakers and other regional leaders see the potential in slugging and better promote it to reduce carbon emissions and commute times. Kandasamy, of Woodbridge, is administrator of the Sluglines website and Facebook page and a frequent slugger.

‘G3’ proposal would help low-income people train for jobs According to the Virginia Employment Commission, by 2026, Virginia needs to fill 2.6 million jobs that will require more than a high school diploma, but less than a bachelor’s degree. A proposal currently in the General Assembly, G3 (Get a Skill, Get a Job, Give Back), charts a strategic path toward filling that gap. G3 addresses the critical workforce shortages many local businesses are currently facing. In fact, our colleges have spent the past year listening to leaders in those businesses to identify what skills they need most. G3 is designed to give more individuals in our area access to career and technical training programs in the following high-demand fields: health care; information technology and computer science; manufacturing and skilled trades; early childhood education, and public safety. G3 is an enhanced financial aid program that makes higher education more accessible to lowand middle-income individuals. G3 provides financial support for tuition, textbooks and cost-of-living expenses that will help them enroll and complete career-focused workforce training programs. G3 would make a big difference for people in our communities, including ALICE families and individuals. The United Way introduced us to ALICE, which means asset-limited, income-constrained and employed. In other words, ALICE is the working poor. Two out of five Virginia households are within the ALICE population. You likely know members of ALICE. They are your neighbors, your coworkers, perhaps you or members of your own family. We’d like to share with you the stories of two of our ALICE students. Jenny is a single parent of three children and a full-time student in our nursing (RN) program. During the week, she is in class three days a week

and at her clinical rotation for two days. She drives one hour each way to train with her nurse preceptor at a hospital. This only leaves the weekend to work, where she spends 15 to 20 hours as a LPN at a care facility. Because Jenny has a part-time job, she will receive some federal financial aid to cover tuition and books, but likely not a full Pell grant. She also receives a modest scholarship. Yet, there is still a gap between the funds she receives for college and the costs of rent, utilities, gas and children. G3 is designed to bridge that funding gap and keep Jenny on the path toward a rewarding career with a good salary in a high-demand area. Mike has been working for a recycling company, and his wife is employed in a manufacturing plant. His job is being phased out and he needs to find another career, so he enrolled in classes with the goal of becoming a manufacturing technician. This grandfather of four does not qualify for federal aid, but G3 could help support him while he learns a new skill to be employed in an industry desperate for employees. Virginia needs more nurses. We need people in the trades to fix and build things. We need technicians to protect our data. We need more skilled workers to help recruit and support business and industry in our region. Because graduates from G3 programs will be contributing more in state income taxes as they become higher earners, the commonwealth will enjoy a tangible return on the investment in G3. We encourage each of you and our state legislators to support G3. KIMBERLY P. BLOSSER President, Lord Fairfax Community College JOHN A. DOWNEY President, Blue Ridge Community College

An opportunity campaign finance reforms in 2020 Jan. 21 marks the 10th anniversary of the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling which, combined with lax campaign finance laws in Virginia, unleashed a flood of money in our elections. Electoral contributions in Virginia doubled from 2011 to 2019, totaling $121.5 million, with nearly $25 million coming from outside the state. Our Virginia legislators, unique in our nation, are not bound by any limits on campaign contributions, which they can even divert for personal use. This has allowed business and special interests to dictate state policies, undermining the wishes of the citizens. Last year, over 10 campaign finance bills were introduced in the Virginia General Assembly, where they died. In a recent survey by the Virginia chapter of American Promise, a group working to end the corrosive impact of

money on our political system, nearly 90% of respondents supported campaign finance reform in Virginia, while 80% want Virginia to join 20 other states to pass a resolution endorsing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to get big money out of politics. Unregulated money is the root cause of government not being responsive to the people. Let’s ask our representatives in Congress to join the 209 legislators who have signed on in support of an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to allow Congress to limit big money in politics. Meanwhile, let’s encourage our Virginia state legislators to tackle our corrupt system by passing bills imposing limits on campaign contributions. GRACE HIGGINBOTTOM Woodbridge

The success behind Claire’s is … Claire Warrenton restaurant maven celebrates 15th anniversary at the Depot By John Hagarty

PHOTOS BY JOHN HAGARTY

Contributing Writer One of Claire Lamborne’s first culinary achievements occurred at the age of 16. Her father had passed away, and her mother was a career woman. Someone had to handle the kitchen duties and feed the large family of 10. “The first fancy meal I made was baked Spam. I scored the meat like you would a ham, placed cloves in the cuts and made a mustard and vinegar sauce,” says Lamborne. Lamborne, the owner of Claire’s at the Depot, moved from that humble beginning to an eventual restaurant career spanning decades; she’s helped to make a legion of restaurants successful. A rolling chef gathers no moss. From her modest experience with home cooking, she moved to college, marriage, and the birth of two children. For 14 years, she taught school and gave little thought to cooking professionally. But a unique opportunity arose in her early 30s when she was offered a job to cook at a restaurant in Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands. During the stint, she purchased and lived on a sailboat and cooked at a well-known restaurant on the Caribbean island. “That was the beginning of my culinary career. I knew then that’s what I wanted to do for a living,” explains Lamborne. “I later moved back to Fairfax and attended culinary school and began working for several restaurants in the region.”

Becoming an entrepreneur

Not only had her desire for kitchen creativity been ignited, but an emerging entrepreneurial streak blossomed. She soon moved to Charlottesville and purchased a restaurant. “I made all the classic mistakes of someone getting into

Her decades of experience in the restaurant business have created a place of memorable meals. the restaurant business for the first time.” They were lessons she pocketed for future use. Next, she moved to San Francisco. “It was the food capital of the United States at the time. It’s where food was happening, and I helped open a restaurant there, too.” Each year she was learning more about running commercial eateries. As her restaurant knowledge grew, she returned to Northern Virginia and began working at various upscale restaurants in Fairfax and Alexandria. A business acquaintance asked her to return to Charlottesville and bring her skills to bear in establishing The Ivy Inn, once part of a more significant estate known as the “Faulkner House.” It was named after William Faulkner, a southern aristocrat and distinguished writer in residence at the nearby University of Virginia. Today, the inn is still a vibrant part of the city's hospitality scene. By now, a pattern was established. If a chef position offered a challenge and opportunity, Lamborne sprung. The next career catalyst was an ad seeking a chef in Warrenton. “I responded and ended up helping Angela

Smith open the Legends restaurant.” Soon after that, she was off to Marshall working at Marshall Manor, a high-end retirement facility. The owners agreed to let her cater on the side, which eventually led to a new business. “My first big event was a benefit for the American Cancer Society held at the large estate known as North Wales, west of Warrenton. As a result, my catering career took off. I moved back to Warrenton and built a place with a commercial kitchen called Claire’s Too, devoted to catering,” remembers Lamborne. She labored for 11 years and became known as the region’s quality caterer, including a stint as the exclusive caterer for the Virginia Gold Cup races. After more than a decade, it became apparent that in order to grow to the next level she needed to significantly ramp up the business and purchase more extensive (and pricey) catering equipment. “I did not want to go in that direction,” says Lamborne. Incredibly, about that time, another offer to return to the Virgin Islands surfaced, and the lady and her spatula found herself at a restaurant in Tortola, the largest and most popular island in the Virgin Islands.

Back to Warrenton Customers can enjoy the ambiance of white tablecloth dining or visit the more casual bar on the other side of the restaurant.

After a brief two months near sand and sea, she returned to Warrenton at the age of 62, reflecting, “I think I have another venture left in me.” Gathering some local investors, she purchased the depot train station. She undertook a significant renovation of the aging building, selling her catering business to help fund the purchase and its $400,000 update. Claire’s at The Depot opened on Feb. 3, 2005, and met with success until the 2008 recession hit. With

the restaurant faltering, Lamborne’s “guardian angel” Paul Rice, a successful tech entrepreneur, agreed to purchase the building for $1.2 million and pursue further renovations, if she continued to operate the business. “After Paul bought the building in 2009 and completed the second renovation, it turned the business around,” says Lamborne. “We put in beautiful wood floors and created the tavern section with a bar while keeping the white tablecloth section in the back. The white tablecloth scene is fading today, but we have the best of both worlds with formal and casual dining.” The restaurant seats 80, with 40 additional seats on the patio for seasonal dining. In March 2018, another financial curveball came hurling toward Lamborne’s home plate. Paul Rice had retired to Florida and wanted to sell the building. Not having the money to purchase the structure, it looked like Claire’s was again on the butcher’s block. But a second “guardian angel” appeared. Bobbie Crafts, who operated a horse rescue sanctuary in Marshall, purchased the building from Rice and lifted the pressure off Lamborne, who doubled down on operating the popular restaurant. Today the restaurant is busier than ever. Drop by any evening without reservations, and you’re taking a risk on seat availability. From the She Crab soup, fried oysters, daily fresh fish, the tenderest of steaks and more, the menu never fails to satisfy. What does the future hold for Warrenton’s premier restaurateur? “I'm 77 years old, and I’m certainly not going to be at the restaurant when I’m 80,” says Lamborne smiling. “But I’m going to make sure when I retire that Claire’s will continue as a quality restaurant.” Check the website (www.clairesrestaurant.com) or Facebook for special drawings and offerings on Feb. 4 to commemorate Claire’s milestone anniversary. Rest easy, northern Piedmont. Both casual and elegant dining will continue at 65 S. Third St. in Warrenton into the foreseeable future. Thank you, Claire.

SETON’S FAMILIAL FOUNDATION

Father, sons, nephew, brothers have Conquistadors vying for state berth By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

We’re a family. That’s a common metaphorical refrain among athletes who find success together as a team. Highland’s players evoked it Thursday after they beat the Seton Conquistadors 64-54 in Manassas to take sole possession of first place in the Delaney Athletic Conference boys basketball standings. Yet Seton, a private Catholic school founded in 1975 and located on the doorstep of historic old town Manassas, has a truer familial foundation, and that seems to have helped the Conquistadors compose one of their best seasons in recent history. Seton is 12-6 and 6-1 in the DAC after beating Wakefield 75-58 Monday following their loss Thursday to Highland (16-2, 6-0). Seton entered this week ranked No. 12 in the VISAA Division II poll under the guidance of head coach Dan Vander Woude. His 11-player roster includes his sons John Paul and Bobby Vander Woude, his nephew Jack Vander Woude and a different pair of brothers in Andrew and Patrick Nguyen. “This team is special in several areas,” their coach said. “Our chemistry is one of those things. … They anticipate each other very well.

Seton also played solid defense to keep Highland under 65 points in a game for only the third time this season, proving the Conquistadors have enough talent to compete on the state level. The Hawks ended with 17 turnovers and gave Seton fans reason to stick around by finishing the third quarter on a 10-0 run before cutting the Hawks’ lead to 4435 early in the fourth quarter. More than 200 people crammed into Seton’s tiny gym with fans filling the gym’s bleachers, entrance-ways and various overlooks, such as a theater stage and staircase platform. “It’s fun because they always bring out the crowd,” Hawks coach Brian Hooker said. Highland point guard Angelo Brizzi agreed. “This gym’s tough to play in,” the junior said. “The hoops are different. Kind of a small gym. A lot of fans; a lot of screeching little kids. Not in a bad way, there’s just a lot of energy in here.”

A RETIREMENT UNLIMITED, INC. COMMUNITY · FRALIN & WALDRON FAMILY-OWNED & OPERATED IN VIRGINIA FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | January 29, 2020

A DECADE OF EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE! A little over 10 years ago, our company’s leaders realized we had to make a change. We wanted to become the best home service company in the area. That’s why we focus on high-quality customer service and well-trained technicians who don’t just fix problems — they work with every client to find the best solutions. Mike Appleton, our current president, has always taken care of his employees first, because he knows they’ll do their best when they’re taking care of you. From adding electrical services to more than doubling our service technician staff, we think our approach to customer service has really paid off. We think it’s important to be a part of the great communities that we proudly serve and who have been so supportive of us through the years. We’re glad to give back by supporting outdoor events, festivals, non-profits as well as local area youth sports. Now with an expanding management team, including Michael Appleton, who has begun to steer us through the new decade, we look forward to servicing homeowners in Fauquier, Culpeper, Prince William and the surrounding counties for many more years to come.

FIVE ACHIEVEMENTS: 1.

One of the biggest changes we made in the 2010s was adding an electrical department, becoming a one-stop home service company!

2. We’re proud of all the opportunities we’ve had to give back to our community, and we love helping our corner of Virginia grow.

3. Over the past decade, we more

than doubled the size of our team, allowing us to provide service to more people than ever before!

4. Last January, we went paperless.

Moving from our old paperwork system to a connected software platform allowed us to work smarter and more efficiently.

5. Being a truly family-run home

service company was important to us, and we’re glad to have Michael to continue that legacy into the 2020s!

THE LATEST NEWS FROM AND ABOUT THE PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

How the library is supporting the 2020 Census by Rachel Johnson Contributing Writer

Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts a census to count every resident in the U.S. As a public library, we’re here to help make your experience completing the census a little easier. You may wonder: Why is it important for me to complete the census? Besides the mandate (did you know that the U.S. Constitution requires that everyone in the country be counted every 10 years?), the census helps distribute more than $675 billion in federal funds, grants, and support to states, counties, and communities based on the census data. For Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park residents, this means you are impacting everything from: • Planning public transportation services. Imagine: the potential for more and easier ways for more residents to get to and from the library.

• Planning future government services. What is needed in the greater Prince William community? The census data can help determine that. • Planning budgets for government at all levels. Yes, that includes county government! • Directing services to children and adults with limited English-language proficiency. For the library, this helps us determine what books, resources and programs we should be adding to our collections and offering to patrons.

How is the library helping to support the 2020 Census?

We’ve been awarded a grant from the American Library Association to bolster our service to hard-to-count communities and help achieve a complete count in the 2020 Census. Join us on Census Day, April 1: We’ll on the Woodbridge NoVA campus! Get help completing the U.S. Census online. We’ll also have people help

you register to vote and apply for a U.S. Passport. Have fun with a live DJ, free food from local food truck, and free Census 2020 swag! We’re also offering our community rooms so that citizens can be trained to collect census data. You can take the survey on our computers (or by using our wifi). If you don’t have a computer at home, or you’d just rather complete the census at the library, our computers and free wifi are available for you. Still not convinced? Did you know that for every Virginian not counted in the census the region loses $1,200 per year for 10 years until the next census? That’s $12,000 total per person in federal funds for programs like education, hospitals, roads, and other public works projects. While completing the census is mandatory, it’s also a way for you to participate in our democracy and say “I count!”

A deep emotional ‘Rabbit Hole’ Fauquier Community Theatre presents emotional drama By Christie Clark

Special to the Prince William Times

“Rabbit Hole,” a 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, powerfully chronicles the survival of family members after an enormous loss of a loved one. The subject of David Lindsay-Abaire’s play is grief, loss and the effort people must make to comfort each other as they mourn. How can a family cope with the pointless, accidental death of a 4-year-old child? Anyone who has ever been a parent, or lost someone close, cannot help but be emotionally drawn into this riveting story. The Fauquier Community Theatre’s transparent five-member cast poignantly portrays the penetrating feelings of grief. Each in their own way, the characters navigate the long road to closure and acceptance of their heart-wrenching loss. The play follows the journey of Becca, played by Ivy Elizabeth,

While Becca withdraws from loved ones, averts offers of support from friends and family and looks to escape from everything even remotely related to Danny, Howie puts all of his efforts into hiding his emotions and pretending to move on. Becca’s mom, Nat, played by Sandra DeRocha, explores how grief is split up and unfairly measured and knows too well its long-lasting effects.

OBITUARIES Claire Matthews James

Linda Marie O’Saben-Webb On January 17, 2020 Linda Marie O’Saben-Webb age 64, died at Fauquier Hospital of complications following pneumonia. Linda was born on April 27, 1955 to William and Alice Ford in Johnstown, PA. Linda medically retired from the CIA. She was a member of the Lions Club and Red Hats. Linda had three children, Matt O’Saben, Annette Cyphers and Greg O’Saben. She also had five grandchildren, Jordyn, Blaze, Rex C., Rune, and Owen which she dearly loved. Linda was married to Chuck Webb who will dearly miss her. Linda will be cremated and no service conducted.

Gretchen DeLong Gretchen DeLong, former Fauquier County land planner and horsewoman, died on January 16, 2020, in Fairfax, Va. She was 68. Born in Washington, D.C., to Allen Rhodes DeLong and Helen Jane Voelcker DeLong, Gretchen graduated in 1969 from The Holton Arms School, Bethesda, Md., and in 1975 from George Washington University, Washington, D.C., with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She also received an Associate of Arts degree from Briarcliff Junior College, Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., where she studied cartography. After college, Gretchen worked for Dewberry, Nealon, and Davis (now Dewberry) in Fairfax, Va., as a cartographer, or mapmaker, managing the quality control and production of some of the first maps of flood hazards across the U.S. It was at Dewberry that Gretchen met Edward G. Beadenkopf, and they married in 1979. Gretchen moved to Denver, Colorado in 1979 and worked as a land use planner for the Town of Northglenn, Co. In 1985 Gretchen moved to Fauquier County, Va., and had the privilege of working for Richard (Dick) McNear as a Fauquier County Planner. Gretchen retired from the County in 1999 and later served as a Consultant to the County, where she used her expertise as a county planner and mapmaker to reconcile property boundary drawings for use in the County Geographic Information System. In 1992, Gretchen focused all her attention on her lifelong love of horses at Diamond Hill Farm, located near The Springs, where she bred horses and cared for her beloved animals. Gretchen’s love for all animals and particularly horses started at an early age. Her maternal grandfather from Texas had her on a horse as soon as she could walk, and her mother made sure Gretchen got to all her riding lessons as a young woman growing up in suburban Maryland. Her first big purchase after college after moving to Virginia was a cross Arabian and Quarter Horse she renamed as Beauregard Magnolia IV. She later confided to her husband, with a smile while batting her eye lashes, that she made up this name to give Beau a proper Southern name. Gretchen learned to ride English seat; however, her time in Denver introduced her to Western riding and her devotion to quarter horses. At Diamond Hill Farm, Gretchen bred and trained her horses, and they showed well at horse shows in the area, including Warrenton, Upperville, and Morvin Park. In her last years in Fauquier County, Gretchen was befriended by and sang for a short time with the choir of St. James Episcopal Church in Warrenton. She treasured their gift to her of kindness, love, and everlasting friendship. Gretchen is survived by her husband of 41 years, Edward G. Beadenkopf, of Herndon, Va., her sister, Diane DeLong Fitzpatrick, niece Leslie Tyrone, and nephews Charles Fitzpatrick and Matthew Fitzpatrick. Gretchen will be laid to rest with her mother and grandparents in Houston, Texas, but she always considered Fauquier County to be her true home. A tribute to the life of Gretchen will be held near Warrenton at a later date. Condolences can be sent to: https://directcremationservicesofvirginia.com/tribute/details/1339/Gretchen-DeLong/obituary.html#tribute-start In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. James Episcopal Church in Warrenton, Va. https://giving.ncsservices.org/App/Giving/saintjameswarrenton
