Superintendent proposes raises for school board members Members mull their first raise in nearly two decades By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County has the second-largest school division in Virginia. But its school board pay

– at $12,000 annually for members and $13,100 for chairman – is on par with that of divisions less than one-quarter its size. What’s more, the county school board hasn’t upped its salary in 19 years. Is it time for a raise? Superintendent Steven Walts thinks so. Tucked into the school division’s $1.1 billion operating budget

for the 2019-2020 school year is a proposal to raise school board members’ salaries to $26,020 a year and the chairman’s pay to $29,040 a year. During a Feb. 27 school board budget work session, Walts explained how he arrived at the new amount. It’s equal to what the school board members would be making in fiscal year 2020 if they’d given

themselves raises matching those they granted teachers and staff over the past 19 years. Teachers and staff raises varied during those years from 4 percent to 1 percent to “zero,” Walts said. So, while the school board members would effectively receive a See SCHOOL BOARD, page 4

Recycling glass a thing of the past? In Prince William, it already is By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Hate to break it to you Prince William County, but the glass bottles and jars you dutifully toss into your recycling bins now end up in the landfill. It didn’t used to be that way. But a combination of logistics and the single-stream process used to sort through most of Northern Virginia’s recyclables have combined to make recycling glass more trouble than it’s worth. And that’s just one of the challenges currently facing privately owned recycling processors and local governments in Northern Virginia and across the nation. Recent changes in the markets for recyclable materials – for glass as well as some categories of plastics and paper – have officials considering changes to local laws that dictate which items must be separated for recycling. Tom Smith, director of Prince William’s Solid Waste Division, said the county is working on a plan to eliminate glass from curbside-collection requirements because most of what goes into haulers’ trucks ends up in the landfill anyway. That’s partly because the nearest “glass beneficiation” facilities – places that clean and process glass – are in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, which is too far away for recycling companies to haul the material and still make a profit.

Police search for missing Woodbridge girl, 14 Staff Reports The Prince William County Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing and endangered juvenile,  Heycer “Natalie” Jimenez Gomez, 14, who has been missing from her Woodbridge home since Dec. 26. Natalie made contact with family members in mid-February, but has not been in touch since, Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the Prince William County police department, said in a news release Friday night. Up until mid-February none of Natalie’s contact with family members raised concerns to the family, Perok said in an email. “The juvenile appeared to just not want to return home and we believe

Alexandria man charged in fatal Woodbridge shooting A 23-year-old Alexandria man was arrested early Sunday in connection with a shooting that claimed the life of Daniel James Gilliam, 25, of Woodbridge, according to police. Officers were called to an area off Rippon Boulevard and Jefferson Davis Highway at 12:39 a.m. Sunday, March 3, to investigate a shooting. The investigation revealed the victim and the suspect were engaged in an argument in a nearby parking lot that escalated. During the encounter, a firearm was brandished and the victim was shot, according to Renee Carr, spokeswoman for the Prince William County Police Department.  The suspect fled the area on foot while uninvolved residents aided the victim. Officers also began CPR on the victim, who suffered a gunshot wound to the upper body, Carr said in a news release. Officers obtained information about the suspect from witnesses and located a person matching the description. The suspect was detained without further incident, Carr said. Gilliam was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his

she ran away from home on her own accord,” Perok said. But police reclassified Natalie as a missing and endangered juvenile March 1 “due to us believe she hasn’t had any known recent contact with anyone, plus the recent concern she may not be in the area anymore.” Family members originally reported Natalie missing to police on Dec. 27. Natalie was last seen at her residence, located in the 1900 block of Old Post Terrace in Woodbridge, around 10 p.m. on Dec. 26, Perok said. Natalie was not considered endangered at that time, Perok said. Police investigate missing person cases even if the missing person is not considered endangered, he said. The initial investigation revealed Natalie likely left her residence

sometime during the evening of Dec. 26 or the early morning hours of Dec. 27, Perok said. Family members did not note any concerns during the initial report to police, Perok said. Upon further investigation, detectives believe Natalie may be in need of assistance which qualifies her as being endangered, Perok said. While Natalie is believed to be missing under voluntary circumstances, detectives are concerned for her safety. Natalie may also no longer be in the immediate Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area. Anyone with information on Natalie’s whereabouts is asked to call Prince William County police at 703-792-6500 or your local police department.

injuries later Sunday morning, Carr said. The firearm was recovered. Following the investigation, the accused, identified as Markus Sean-Thurman Dean, Markus Sean-Thurman was arrested prior to the victim's passing and charged with aggravated malicious wounding in connection with the shooting, Carr said.  Additional charges are expected in the wake of Gilliam’s death, Carr said. Dean, 23, of 61 Gardens Drive, Alexandria, is being held without bond at the Prince William County adult detention center.

Sunday, March 3. Crews discovered a fire had spread from one apartment unit into another. The occupants had been alerted by smoke detectors. The 12unit apartment building sustained “moderate” fire and water damage before the fire could be extinguished, according to a news release. The building was declared unsafe to occupy. The Red Cross assisted the 18 victims who were displaced. The Prince William County Fire Marshal's Office determined the cause of the fire to be improper use of a worker's torch, the news release said.

Blow torch to blame for Dumfries apartment fire No one was hurt, but a fire blamed on improper use of a worker’s torch displaced 12 adults and six children from their Dumfries apartment building Sunday afternoon, according to Prince William County Fire and Rescue officials. Units were called to the Meridian Bay apartments, in the 3000 block of Fox Lair Drive, at about 3:03 p.m.

Police investigate shooting in Gainesville A man was shot and injured in Gainesville early Sunday morning, Prince William County police said. Officers responded to the 14000 block of Deming Drive in Gainesville at 3:07 a.m. Sunday, March 3, Prince William County police said in a news release. When officers arrived, they located a 32-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound, police said. Officers provided immediate first aid to the victim, who was then taken to an area hospital. Police said the man’s injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening and he is expected to survive. Police investigated and determined that the man was in the area near Deming Drive between 2 and 3 a.m., when “he was allegedly shot and wounded by an unknown sus-

No suspects have been identified, but police said the incident “is not believed to be random at this time.” The police investigation continues.

Police investigate gunfire exchange in Walmart parking lot No one was hurt, but police were called to the Walmart near the Manassas Mall last week after the occupants of two vehicles exchanged gunfire in the parking lot, according to Prince William police. Officers were called to the Walmart at 8386 Sudley Road at 9:09 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, after reports of gunfire, according to Renee Carr, spokeswoman for the Prince William County Police Department. According to witnesses, the occupants of one vehicle got out and approached the other vehicle, a Chevrolet SUV. There appeared to be a disagreement between the individuals. When the people on foot ran back to their vehicle, one discharged a handgun multiple times in the direction of the SUV, Carr wrote in a news release. The witnesses also reported shots being fired from the SUV as it drove out of the parking lot towards Rixlew Drive, Carr said. Both vehicles and all occupants fled the scene before police arrived. Police canvassed the area and found several bullet shell casings in the parking lot. No injuries nor property damage were reported, Carr said.

Superintendent proposes raises for school board members SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1 116-percent raise over their current salary under Walts’ proposal, the amount is equal to what they might be earning if they received the same raises they awarded to teachers and staff over the years, Walts said. Despite the explanation, school board members seemed taken aback by the proposed amount. A few laughed. No one uttered a word in agreement. Walts, however, responded to their reactions by saying Virginia’s largest school division -- Fairfax County – pays its school board members even more. Fairfax County School Board members made $32,000 last year, while its chairman was paid $34,000. Fairfax pays its school board members the most of any county in the state, according to information obtained from the Virginia School Board Association. “Sometimes, I find it a bit interesting that we’re constantly compared to Fairfax, but when it comes to things that involve money … We want to have everything just like Fairfax,” he continued. “Except the money piece. Well I’ll tell you, this is substantially less than board members make there.” Across the state, school board pay is as low as $0 in Lynchburg City schools, which have an enrollment of about 8,000 students, and $150 a year in Galax City, which counts 1,321 students. Several school divisions pay their school boards less than $10,000 a year. But eight school divisions with fewer students than are enrolled in Prince William County schools pay their school

They include: Alexandria City, Arlington County, Chesterfield County, Hampton City, Henrico County, Loudoun County, Newport News City and Roanoke County. Walts also noted that this would be the third time he’s proposed raises for school board members since he became superintendent 13 years ago. According to Virginia law, elected school boards and boards of supervisors can only approve raises in election years. The raises cannot go into effect until after the newly elected board members take office. In effect, that means if the school board decides to grant its members a raise, they might not personally benefit unless they are re-elected in November. School board members won’t have to decide on the raises until they pass a final spending plan at the end of the month. The school board will hold two more work sessions on the budget -- on Thursday, March 7, and Wednesday, March 13 -- before taking a final vote on the school division budget and capital im-

Recycling glass a thing of the past? RECYCLING, from page 1 But an even bigger problem is that when glass goes through the “single-stream” recycling processing facilities, it usually breaks and ends up contaminating other materials, such as paper plastic and aluminum. That’s a problem because those materials, while more profitable, must now meet tighter contamination restrictions imposed about two years ago by China and other major importers of U.S. recyclables. “When you mix [glass] in with all of the other products, it’s very difficult to separate. That’s the issue,” Smith said in a recent county press release. Smith and Scott MacDonald, Prince William County’s recycling manager, are scheduled to speak to the Prince William County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, March 19, to talk about the challenges facing the recycling market and possible changes they say might be necessary to help local recycling companies deal with them, MacDonald said in a recent interview.

Glass the first to go?

Glass is an “easy target” to eliminate from the recycling stream because of the contamination issue and because it’s heavy. It makes the recycling facilities’ “residue” – material left over from the separation process – more expensive for private haulers to get rid of, MacDonald said. Before China and other countries cracked down on the amount of con-

tamination accepted in the recyclable material they purchase, haulers sent only about 8 percent of what they processed to the landfill. Now, about 25 percent of what is processed at “material recovery facilities,” known as MRFs, must be hauled to the landfill. MRFs generally pay landfills to take their leftover residue by the ton. Residue containing glass weighs more and thus costs more, MacDonald said. Further exacerbating the issue is that MRFs are also having a harder time selling what they can recover from their single-stream facilities both because of the more stringent contamination standards and because countries and companies that buy U.S. recyclables are buying less, causing resale prices to fall. The MRFs have responded to such market pressures by charging haulers more to process the items they gather from curbside recycling bins. While MRFs once charged $20 to $40 a ton to process recyclable materials, they now charge haulers about $80 a ton, MacDonald said. “That was the real driver that got us into gear,” he added. “If you’ve got several trucks, and you’re dropping off several tons a day, that adds up quick.” Some recycling processors have stopped taking certain items because they are making so much less. “It’s having a big impact. They’re losing money hand over fist. So they have tightened their belts to get through it,” MacDonald said.

provement plan on Wednesday, March 20. So far, members have been reluctant to comment on the proposed raises. Only School Board member Gil Trenum (Brentsville) returned an email seeking comment on the raises. Trenum, who is not running for re-election this November, said he is not likely to vote in favor of the idea. “I have always voted against raises for school board members,” he wrote. “I don’t expect that to change this year.” School Board Chairman Babur Lateef, in an interview after Walts first presented his budget Feb. 6, said he had not yet decided whether he would vote in favor of the school board raises. But Lateef said he felt it’s important that the job pay a reasonable salary to attract well qualified candidates. “Compared to Fairfax, I don’t think it’s unreasonable,” Lateef said of the raises. “I don’t think it’s unreasonable for school board members to get paid on par with surrounding counties.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

Despite those challenges, Prince William County has yet see local garbage haulers significantly raise the amount they charge local residents to pick up their trash and recycling. But it might just be a matter of time, MacDonald said. Residents “are going to see this increase at some point. Eventually, this is going to trickle down,” he said. “Companies are no longer going to be able to eat this increase.”

Code considerations

Source: Virginia Department of Education, Virginia School Board Association

According to the Prince William County Code, both residents and businesses are required to separate newspapers, mixed paper, container glass, plastic bottles and metal cans from other solid wastes. Violators face a $25 fine for not complying with the law, and trash haulers are required to pick up recyclable materials to be licensed by the county. The county’s solid waste department has long been reluctant to stop collecting glass or other recyclable materials in hope that the market might eventually pick up, MacDonald said. “But the thinking now with glass is that isn’t going to happen anytime soon,” he added. “We need to remove it immediately to help this process.” It’s not clear whether the supervisors will have to vote to change the code regarding which materials are residents must separate for recycling. The county executive might be able to make the change independently, according to Deborah Campbell, spokeswoman for the county’s solid waste department. Either way, county officials want

Recycling money-makers

Only a few recyclable materials can be resold for a profit under current market conditions. They include: Cardboard Plastics 1 and 2 Aluminum Steel and tin cans to make the public aware of possible changes to the county’s recycling policies so they understand what’s happening and why. “We’re looking at maybe revising the list [of recyclables], particularly removing glass. We’re reviewing our options and will present them to the … supervisors,” said Smith in the press release. Contamination of recycled materials is also a big issue for privately-run material recovery facilities and one with which the public can help. Contamination most often occurs when people throw items into recycling containers that are not recyclable, a practice some in the industry call “aspirational recycling.” No matter what residents’ intentions, the practice is both a nuisance and expensive for the material recovery officials. Among items routinely thrown into bins that are not recyclable include plastic bags, pizza boxes, rubber hoses and Styrofoam. Residents can help by keeping those items out of their recycling bins and by buying products packaged in materials that are easy for recycling processors to sell, which include plastics 1 and 2, aluminum cans, steel cans and cardboard.

Legislators delay decision on I-81 improvements By Kathleen Shaw

Capital News Service

RICHMOND — Interstate 81’s heart pumps through rural Virginia with veins that run from Tennessee to the Canadian border — a vital roadway for manufacturers, farmers and commuters. With a long track record of crashes and congestion, Virginians looked to legislators for solutions to improving the interstate. But Sen. John Edwards, D-21st, of Roanoke, said the General Assembly passed only “a shell of a bill.” At the beginning of the session, Gov. Ralph Northam (D) met with legislators to announce bipartisan support for finding a revenue source for improvements to Virginia’s 325mile stretch of I-81, which accounts for 42 percent of statewide interstate truck traffic. “Making these improvements will take money. Finding money requires tough choices,” Northam said. Legislators ended their session Sunday without finding the money. So Virginians will have to wait another year before seeing a plan to pay for improvements to the highway. In December, the Commonwealth Transportation Board released a study that identified $4 billion in construction needs for I-81, including $2.2 billion in priority projects. Officials floated various ideas, from

taxes to tolls, to finance the improvements. As the General Assembly convened in January, lawmakers filed six bills seeking to address the problem. They included HB 2718, sponsored by Del. Steven Landes, R-25th, of Augusta, and SB 1716, introduced by Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-26th, of Rockingham. Those bills sought to impose tolls on I-81, with the revenues designated for improvements on the interstate. The House and Senate each passed different versions of the measures. When a conference committee met to resolve the differences, legislators switched gears and approved the twin bills without a drop of funding for the interstate improvements. The legislation was reworked to remove any language about tolls. Instead, the bills would simply create an Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Transportation Committee and an unfunded Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Fund. “The Committee shall conduct regional public meetings on options for funding and improvements” and offer recommendations to the governor and the General Assembly by Dec. 15, the legislation states. Stephanie Kane, communications director of the Alliance for TollFree Interstates, said the bills were changed because of the public outcry against tolls. She said tolls are

Advocates lament defeat of ‘hands-free’ cellphone bill By Katja Timm

Capital News Service

RICHMOND — Traffic safety advocates are upset by the surprise defeat of legislation that would have prohibited motorists in Virginia from holding their cellphones while driving. They said the legislation — HB 1811 and SB 1341, which died as the General Assembly adjourned Sunday, Feb. 24 — would have helped prevent accidents caused by distracted driving. “I think we’re very disappointed,” said Janet Brooking, executive director of DRIVE SMART Virginia, a nonprofit group that promotes traffic safety. “We had been working very hard to make sure the bills advanced.” For much of the legislative session, the bills appeared headed toward passage. The House and Senate had each passed slightly different versions of HB 1811, sponsored by Del. Chris Collins, R-29th, of Frederick, and SB 1341, sponsored by Sen. Richard Stuart, R-28th, who represents parts of Prince William, Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George and Westmoreland counties. One version said: “It is unlawful for any person, while driving a mov-

ing motor vehicle on the highways in the commonwealth, to hold a handheld personal communications device.” Another version said it would be unlawful for a driver “to hold in his hand a handheld personal communications device.” Looking back, Brooking said amending the bill allowed opponents to sabotage the legislation. “It’s not about the language of the amendment,” she said. “It’s about what happens to bills like this. The amendment was thrown in there to strategically put the bill in harm’s way.” When a conference committee of House members and senators convened to resolve the matter the day before the session ended, the legislation was changed significantly. The committee recommended that drivers still be allowed to talk on their cellphones — they just couldn’t “view, read or enter data.” The conference committee’s report then was rejected in the House — and so the legislation died. As a result, the current law, adopted in 2009, remains unchanged: It is illegal to text and send emails while driving, but not to use phone apps such as Snapchat, Facebook or Instagram, or to talk on the phone.

harmful to commuters and threaten economic development by forcing businesses to increase prices. “Tolls can be a politically convenient way to raise taxes without having to vote for that three-letter word,” Kane said. “The I-81 Corridor Improvement Fund just creates the existence of the fund, but it’s like creating the bank account without the money to go in it — there’s no revenue source.” In late 2018, the polling firm Public Opinions Strategies conducted a survey of 500 residents in the I-81 corridor. Eighty-eight percent of the respondents supported a $2 billion plan for improvements needed on the stretch of I-81 that state officials have designated a high priority. Those improvements would include a third lane and signage to deter con-

gestion. Sens. Edwards and Emmett Hanger, R-24th, of Augusta, proposed raising the motor fuels tax to fund transportation improvements statewide and especially on I-81. The bill passed the Senate but died in the House of Delegates. Edwards said the measure seemed to have bipartisan support at first, but some lawmakers backpedaled because all legislative seats are up for election in November. “My impression was that there was pressure from leadership in the House. The House leadership says, ‘We can’t have a tax this year because that’s wrong — it’s an election year,’” Edwards said. “It’s nice to have a fund on paper, but with no money, you can’t do anything with it. It’s just a shell of a bill.”

Construction continues on U.S. 1, Interstate 66 Several smaller projects also under way Staff Reports Construction on new roads and road improvements is ongoing across Prince William County, with the biggest projects occurring on U.S. 1 in Woodbridge and on Interstate 66 between Gainesville and the beltway. Together, those two projects carry price tags in the hundreds of millions and are being funded mostly through state, federal and private investment. The I-66 project, which will add two new express lanes as well as several park-and-ride lots and other improvements, is the result of the state’s $3.7 billion agreement with a I-66 Express Mobility Partners, which will toll express lanes outside the beltway once the project is finished in 2022. But several smaller projects are also happening around the county now or are set to begin later this spring. Here’s an update from Prince William County officials on the various projects under way throughout the county and their expected timelines.

Happening now:

• U.S. 1 from Featherstone to Mary's Way: Several buildings have been demolished to make way to widen U.S. 1 to a six-lane road between Featherstone Road and Mary's Way. Utility and waterline relocation began in August. The advertisement for construction will go out in the winter of 2020. Construction is set to end in the winter of 2021.  • Transform 66-Outside the Beltway: Construction to build two new express lanes in I-66 from I-495 to University Boulevard in Gainesville is underway with lane shifts, barriers and clearing complete.

New town manager likes Occoquan’s energy By Aileen Streng

Contributing Writer

Occoquan’s new town manager said she took the job because she likes the energy in the town. Kathy Leidich joined the town’s staff Nov. 30. She has more than 20 years of local government experience as well as a master’s degrees in public administration, and city and regional planning. Her bachelor’s degree is in political science. "We're very excited to have Ms. Leidich here in Occoquan,” said Occoquan Mayor Earnie Porta. “During the selection process the council was quite impressed with both her energy

and her breadth of experience in local government. These have enabled her to hit the ground running and we're pleased at how quickly she has become a part of the community." Leidich moved from her native Ohio to Virginia to take a job as assistant town manager for the City of Leesburg for eight years then worked for the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation in Richmond for two years. She returned to Loudoun County to be the assistant director for transportation planning operations. “Occoquan has always been an interesting town,” she said. “I was looking for a town manager or county manager position and this one just happened

to open.” “There’s a lot of good energy here and a lot of good energy on the council as well,” Leidich said. She leads four full-time and Kathy Leidich three part-time employees in the town. There are also five part-time town police officers supervised by Occoquan Town Police Chief Adam Linn. “When I was interviewing and going to events, I meet several of the merchants. There are a lot of good things happening here. There’s a very good vibe,” she said. “There also are a lot of people who

really seem invested in this town and that’s really important,” Leidich said. “When you are coming into a jurisdiction, or when you are considering working in a jurisdiction, at least for me, its imported to see that people are invested, and things are going well and there are things going on.” The Fall Arts and Crafts Show will mark its 50th anniversary this year, and the town is planning to do something special. Also, the town is considering phasing out the spring craft show and adding two new events next year. “We’re looking for something different. We’re trying to keep things fresh. Build on what good and keeping it a living breathing way to do events,” she said.

Prince William Times | March 6, 2019

Yes, Prince William commutes are expensive

But consider what we get in return Any Prince William resident who commutes to Washington every day has no doubt the trip is among the most difficult in the country. Now, a national business publisher argues it’s also among the most expensive. A Bloomberg study of U.S. Census data found residents of Maryland’s Charles County, on average, spent 388 hours traveling to and from work in 2017, making it first in the nation in a ranking of the “economic cost of commuting.” To put that into context, that’s almost two-and-a-half weeks lost to commuting in a single year. Residents of Fauquier and area communities more than 35 miles outside of D.C. spent a similar amount of time on their commutes, placing Fauquier second on the list. Prince William ranked sixth. How does Bloomberg calculate the “cost of commuting?” It used a variety of factors to find an “opportunity cost” based on average earnings and commuting hours. The number of workers leaving before 6 a.m. – considered a special hardship – was also factored in. From that, Bloomberg awarded scores based on dollar amounts and the percent of income residents lose to their daily commutes. Counties in Virginia and Mary-

land ranked higher than other stereotypically high-priced regions, such as San Francisco and New York City. This is due in no small part to the effects of sprawl we feel so keenly here in Northern Virginia. The trend of urbanites migrating to the suburbs and exurbs is nothing new; it began in the latter half of the 20th century. According to the Brookings Institution, that trend had been somewhat “on hold” after the Great Recession. Census data now shows suburbanization is back on the rise. Statistically, it makes for an interesting comparison, particularly with Metro’s Silver Line expansion to Dulles Airport and Amazon’s impending arrival. But statistics only tell part of the story. They don’t deal in motivations or the quality-of-life issues behind the long daily treks. The benefits our communities offer -- such as open spaces, cheaper housing and good schools -- have always held sway over the decision to tackle a long commute. Were that figured into the cost, the Prince William commute might be considered more affordable, or at least more valuable. This trend bears watching, as all of these factors influence how our

local governments address issues such as re-zonings and money spent on transportation projects and education, just to name a few. All must be considered as county leaders manage the continued influx of commuters (and residents) while preserving the very qualities that draw people to our communities.

It’s time to fix teacher pay

We're glad to see Prince William County Board of Supervisors considering a budget that would fully fund local schools and offer teachers a 7-percent raise over two years — it's about time. Less encouraging is the current state of affairs in Fauquier, where the supervisors will begin their budget talks with a recommendation from County Administrator Paul McCulla that falls $1.4 million

In defense of Prince William’s rural crescent By Elena Schlossberg Once again, Prince William residents find themselves fighting to protect the best land-use tool in Northern Virginia, the county’s “rural crescent.” This urban growth boundary was designed to ensure investment of critical infrastructure dollars in the “development areas” of the county, as opposed to pushing housing density in the county’s rural western stretches, where there are fewer roads, schools and other basic infrastructure, such as connections to the county’s sewer and water lines. Introducing new growth in the rural crescent, which will require high-dollar infrastructure investments, is the opposite of smart growth. You may ask, what is the definition of smart growth? It is planned economic and community development that works to curb urban sprawl. Some in the county are pushing the position that in order to "save" the rural crescent, we must "develop" the rural crescent. Don't be fooled. Their flawed solution, which they have yet to fully identify for their contrived "problem," is to allow high-density "cluster"

housing developments, which would introduce public sewer connections into the rural crescent. This “solution” is, in actuality, a developer scheme. What is the benefit for county residents when rural crescent restrictions on high-density housing are lifted? None. The approval of the Avendale development, under the guise of the Vint Hill Road re-alignment, is tangible proof of this. Instead of the previously allowed 12 homes on the Avendale property, which was in the rural crescent, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors instead approved almost 300 homes when they agreed to the Avendale rezoning. Schools are not less crowded, they are bursting at the seams in the west end. And the county’s east end fights for every dollar to re-develop aging areas. Vint Hill Road is not less congested, its congestion has never been worse. Residents who have lived along that road for decades will confirm this. Ask the homeowners who had their land taken through eminent domain, was it worth it? No. Instead of a $1 billion road bond, maybe it’s time we had an “investment

bond” to catch up with all the housing development county leaders have approved. Some county officials continue to believe that if they exchange land for higher-density housing development, somehow the basic infrastructure needs will catch up. But all they are doing is digging the same hole deeper. This fits the definition of insanity. Some county officials behave like someone selling off their organs to cover their debts. At some point, you run out of organs, your body shuts down and you still have the debts. Don’t be fooled by the pretty language of “transitional ribbons” and “gateways.” Those mean the end of the rural crescent. They mean our tax dollars get flushed down the toilet. Scarce infrastructure dollars would need to be invested in building roads and schools; maintaining roads and schools; and adding fire, rescue, police and all the other support infrastructure required for new houses in rural areas, with no transportation or transit. Prince William County is incredibly unique. From our Potomac River shoreline to our Bull Run Mountains,

short of fully funding Fauquier Superintendent David Jeck's budget for next school year. Jeck's budget offers a necessary remedy for the teacher salary compression problem at the root of the 12-percent teacher turnover rate the county experienced last year. Simply put, that's unsustainable. Fauquier schools must reinstate the salary scale and fix pay levels within the teaching ranks to address this problem. School division staff estimate it would cost the average taxpayer in Fauquier County about $50 more a year – above the average $45 tax-bill hike already assumed in McCulla’s budget -- to make the school division's budget whole. That's reasonable. We hope the supervisors will agree. The Rural Crescent:

Exploring the Path from Sprawl to Sustainability Thursday, March 7 – 7 - 9 p.m. Northern Virginia Community College Manassas Campus Colgan Theater 6901 Sudley Road, free parking

there is no other county in Virginia like it. We have urban communities that need and deserve re-investment and development dollars, while the rural areas have valuable assets in which the county has yet to fully invest or use to their full potential. Is selling out and breaking up our rural crescent what we really what we want our county leadership to leave as its legacy? Come to the Prince William Conservation Alliance’s “Rural Crescent Forum” on Thursday, March 7, and learn more. An educated Prince William electorate is the only way to ensure that our tax dollars are properly used, and that our green spaces are properly protected. Elena Schlossberg, of Haymarket, is the executive director Coalition to Protect PWC and a board member of the Prince William Conservation Alliance.

VIKINGS ST RM INTO STATE FINAL Rebounding supremacy propels Woodbridge past T.C. Williams 61-50 in semis By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Woodbridge Vikings treat offensive rebounds like diamonds during their practice scrimmages, placing more value on them than even made baskets. So, fittingly, offensive rebounds were the girls’ best friend Monday during the state semifinals. They amassed 16, and had nearly as many second-chance points, to advance to the state final for the first time in program history by beating the T.C. Williams Titans 61-50 during the Class 6 basketball tournament at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax. So they will play in the final Wednesday at Virginia Commonwealth University's Siegel Center in Richmond against defending Class 6 champion Cosby (23-4), which advanced with a 72-49 win over James River in the semifinals. For Woodbridge seniors Tae’lor Willard and Camryn Platt-Morris, playing in a state championship game has been an elusive goal. It escaped the Vikings during the state quarterfinals each of the past three seasons under head coach Tamika Dudley. Last Friday, they advanced beyond the quarterfinals for the first time since 1999 by beating South Lakes 75-39. Then they took the next step Monday thanks to a 38-29 run in the second half against the Titans. “To be the first and make history, it’s honestly a blessing,” Platt-Morris said of earning a state final berth for Woodbridge. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. “We finally got over the hump,” she said. “It’s unreal. Everybody’s in [the locker room] going crazy. Wow.” When the Vikings last played in the state semifinals, Dudley was a Woodbridge senior on the court. Her 1999 team lost to Robinson 46-44 in the Group AAA tournament, falling one victory short of vying for the championship. She finally has that title opportunity 20 years later as a coach. “We put in so much work,” Dudley said. “So much time and energy has gone into this program and this group of girls. So it’s just that feeling of, ‘Damn, we really deserve this.'” With four consecutive appearances in the state tournament, most of Woodbridge’s players have significant postseason experience, which Dudley credits for their success this season. That group, however, does not include Adaija Bender, the Vikings’ starting center. Yet the sophomore transfer from Harrisonburg High has had a tremendous impact on Woodbridge’s run to a 28-1 record with 19 consecutive victories. Her seven offensive rebounds Monday, for example, helped the Vikings overcome 20 turnovers to advance to the state final. “It means everything. This is one of the biggest dreams I’ve had since I was a kid,” Bender said. “I was just an added piece to” a great team. At 6-foot-2, she created a starting lineup of three players taller than 5-11. So the Vikings’ goal of securing 20 offensive rebounds each game isn’t outrageous. In fact, they’ve accomplished that in eight games this season. “You have to box out and you have to anticipate where the ball’s going to fall,” said Platt-Morris, a

Camryn Platt-Morris and the Woodbridge Vikings (28-1) girls basketball team faces defending champion Cosby in the Class 6 state championship on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Richmond’s Siegel Center. 5-8 guard who had five offensive rebounds Monday. “It’s all about not taking a play off because when the ball bounces [free] it’s an opportunity that you could be scoring.” During practices, Woodbridge often uses shell drills to simulate game action. In addition to made baskets, the teams can score a point with each defensive stop, but nothing is more valuable than an offensive rebound, which is worth two points and creates another opportunity for a basket. “That’s to put the pressure on us to box out [defensively], but also for us to get the mindset [of pursuing offensive] boards,” Dudley said. “You’re going to the glass hard, putting pressure on the defense.” So the Vikings average an incredible 15 offensive rebounds per game this season. Overall, they out-rebounded T.C. Williams 4323 Monday. If they match that margin Wednesday during the state final, they have a great chance to win the championship. “As a senior on this team, this is my last time to be able to take my team there,” Platt-Morris said. “I know that we’re going to leave the court with a ring on our finger.” Platt-Morris finished Monday with 14 points, 11 rebounds, four steals and two assists, while Willard

had 15 points, three assists and two steals. A senior point guard, Willard scored 11 of her points in the second half to help the Vikings pull away after they led only 23-21 at halftime. Region 6C Player of the Year Aaliyah Pitts added 12 points, eight rebounds and three steals, while Bender had 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocks. “Bender played a great game,” Dudley said. “That was tremendous. … It’s nice that she’s an added bonus piece of the puzzle” as a transfer. The game truly turned in the third quarter after Bender made a put-back layup 23 seconds in to give Woodbridge a 25-21 lead. The Vikings went on to commit only one turnover in the period after finishing the first half with 14. So they began the fourth quarter with a 46-38 advantage. “We’ve got to do a better job of not having silly turnovers,” Dudley said of the first half. “I always tell my girls a missed shot is better than a turnover, so at the very least attack the basket, kick, get a shot and we have a chance at a rebound.” They had 34 opportunities for offensive rebounds against the Titans, and they secured nearly half of those. That's a lot of diamonds.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | March 6, 2019

Vandiver’s heroics can’t save Patriot

The Prince William County Government proposes to increase property tax levies. 1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property (commercial and residential), excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s total assessed value of property by 2.94 percent. 2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $1.0928 per $100 of assessed value. The rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.” 3. Effective Rate Increase: The Prince William County Government proposes to adopt a tax rate of $1.1250 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate is $0.0322 per $100 or 2.94 percent. This difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase.” Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage. 4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total budget of Prince William County Government will exceed last year’s by 5.07 percent. A public hearing on the effective rate increase will be held on April 9, 2019 at 8:00 p.m. in the Board Chamber of the McCoart Administration Building, 1 County Complex Court, Prince William, Virginia. All interested individuals and groups are encouraged to attend and to submit comments. Sign-up sheets will be available in the atrium at 6:30 p.m. on April 9, 2019 for persons wishing to speak. Additional information regarding this public hearing is available from the Clerk to the Board of County Supervisors at 703-792-6600.

The finest season in Patriot history ended at 22-3 with their first-ever quarterfinal since opening in 2011. Hagan Vandiver led the Pioneers with 18 points and fueled a serious fourth quarter surge from a 16-point deficit, getting it to six, before the Stallions responded with three straight clutch hoops to close out the win at Osbourn Park High. The Pioneers got off to a solid start, leading for much of the first quarter, with their last lead at 13-11. But the defending Class 6 champions scored the last eight points of the first quarter to lead 19-13, then took further control in the second. After Patriot closed to 32-28 on Jakai Moore’s layup, South County reeled off six straight points to take a 38-28 halftime lead. South County’s lead reached 54-38 with 35 seconds left in the third. Vandiver then stepped up. The senior guard made a stepback 3-pointer with one second left in the third to make it 54-43, then another 3-pointer to open the fourth to make it 54-46. Patriot’s comeback continued with a basket by Yusef Salih, two free throws by Devon Parrish and Vandiver’s old-fashioned three-point play in the lane to make it 59-53 with 4:41 left.

But South County restored the lead to 65-55 thanks to a series of Patriot misses and two big baskets by 6-foot-7 senior post Jake Latta, who scored 16. Andre Speight was game-high scorer with 24 and Myles Donovan scored 15. Coach Sherman Rivers removed his starters with 53 seconds left and South County ahead 70-55.

Potomac falls, 52-45

Despite a six-point lead late in the third quarter, Potomac’s boys season ended Friday with a 52-45 loss to Potomac Falls in the Class 5 quarterfinals at Rock Ridge High. The Panthers finished 18-8 after winning the Cardinal District regular season title with a runner-up finish in the Region 5D tournament. Potomac, which has a 136-26 record since the start of the 2013-14 season, watched Potomac Falls begin the game on an 11-0 run. Potomac responded with a 17-5 run and entered halftime in a 22-22 tie before taking a 39-33 lead late in the third quarter. Potomac Falls, however, finished on a 19-6 run. Ray Woods led Potomac with 10 points and Anthony Jackson had eight, with six each from Julian Cumba-Figueroa and Jakhari Taylor, while Caleb Satchell had five.

Brentsville girls finish 18-6

The Brentsville Tigers lost to Hopewell 45-35 Friday during the quarterfinals of the Class 3 girls basketball state tournament at Petersburg High. They finished 18-6.

We can do it! Women’s History Month at the Prince William’s public libraries By Jean L. Ross March is a month for many celebrations – St. Patrick’s Day, National Puppy Day (yes, really) and many more. It is also Women’s History Month, and a great time to focus on important historical moments as experienced by women. Many new fiction titles for adults center on the stories of women here and abroad during World War II – books such as “Lilac Girls,” “Manhattan Beach,” “Dear Mrs. Bird,” and “Light Over London.” Young readers may enjoy “Resis-

tance,” a novel by Jennifer Nielsen or “Fly Girls: The Daring American Women Pilots Who Helped Win WW II,” by P. O’Connell Pearson. Researchers wishing to know more about women of the era will find in-depth information in the Digital Library, such as the Ebsco E-Book History Collection, Masterfile, JSTOR, and Washington Post Historical Newspapers. Dig into these sources for accounts of the Native American woman who developed aircraft for Lockheed during the war, to find articles about women shipbuilders, or to read contemporary news

of the homefront, to name just a few topics. If your grandmother or your mother was Rosie the Riveter and worked in a factory to support the war, you can envision her life by reading novels like “The Wartime Sisters” or “Dream When You’re Feeling Blue.” In between all the other March celebrations, spend a little time this month getting to know the remarkable and courageous women of World War II. Ross writes monthly updates for the Prince William Public Library System.

Ask the Arborist

Todd Hagadone Jr. I.S.A. Certified Arborist

Spring Inspection for Damage Prevention We’ve had our share of winter this year, with wet snows, ice and rains. It’s not uncommon to see a lot of limbs down on properties. Cleanup takes care of the debris, but you should also take a careful inspection of the trees and shrubs on your property to ensure that the damage they have sustained during the harsh weather conditions will not cause problems later on during the growing season. Snow and Ice may have bent the branches of evergreens. Snow melts saturate the ground and loosen the soil. Trees that are subject to high wind loading (top heavy) or trees on sloping ground are susceptible to root failure. Inspect the root plates carefully. Late winter or very early spring is the best time to perform certain tasks related to maintaining your landscape. A certified arborist should inspect your trees and shrubs before new growth begins. He or she can look for splits that may occur in multistemmed plants and determine whether they need cabling and bracing or pruning to eliminate weakened branches. Lastly, disease management should begin as early as March in some areas. Applications can begin as soon as the soil temperatures approach 45 degrees. Fungicide sprays for foliar diseases can begin shortly after budbreak. It’s worthwhile to protect your investment in your landscape with inspections in the spring to avoid expensive tree and shrub replacements later on.

concentration camp for women. Beginning in 1939, the novel follows these three as their lives intertwine. “Manhattan Beach” by Jennifer Egan: Widely praised by critics, this novel is about Anna, who became a female diver working on ships in the Brooklyn Naval Yard as they prepared for World War II. It is also a deeply nuanced story of relationships. “Dear Mrs. Bird” by A. J. Pearce: Emmy dreams of becoming a war correspondent during World War II, only to settle for editing an advice to the lovelorn column. She manages to make that column something special and the portrait here of life during the Blitz is well-drawn and evocative. “The Lost Girls of Paris” by Pam Jenoff: Brand-new fiction from the popular author of The Orphan Train, this book features the adventures of female World War II intelligence agents. The novel has everything: romance, intrigue, violence, and suspense.

“The Light Over London” by Julia Kelly: Set in two eras – the present day and World War II – antiques dealer Cara finds a small tin with a diary, locket and photo. This leads her on a quest to discover what happened to the woman depicted in uniform in the photo. With plenty of twists and turns, the dual stories unfold in a compelling manner. “The Gown” by Jennifer Robson: We rarely think of the immediate aftermath of World War II, but the London depicted here is a grim place. However, there is one bright spot – the royal wedding – and as modernday Heather works to figure out her grandmother’s connection to the Queen’s gown, the backstory of life in post-war London unfolds.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL TO MODIFY EXPERIMENTAL COMPANION TARIFF, DESIGNATED SCHEDULE RF CASE NO. PUR-2019-00016 On February 1, 2019, pursuant to § 56-234 B of the Code of Virginia and Rule 80, 5 VAC 5-20-80, of the State Corporation Commission’s (“Commission”) Rules of Practice and Procedure (“Rules of Practice”), Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Company”) filed with the Commission an application (“Application”) for approval of modifications to the Company’s experimental and voluntary companion tariff, designated Schedule RF, Environmental Attributes Purchase From Renewable Energy Facilities (Experimental) (“Schedule RF”), which was approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2017-00137, and available to eligible existing and new commercial and industrial customers. The Application states that under Schedule RF, participating customers execute a Renewable Facilities Agreement (“RFA”) with the Company setting forth the general terms and conditions of each such customer’s commitment to enhance the cost-effectiveness of one or more renewable generation facilities to be constructed and operated by the Company as system resources. The RFA requires the customer and the Company to execute a confirmation providing for the pricing and certain other terms and conditions of the customer’s commitment in exchange for the transfer of environmental attributes, including the renewable energy certificates (“Environmental Attributes”) associated with one or more specific new renewable generation facilities. Schedule RF also provides that the Company shall be the exclusive provider of electric service for participating customer accounts. The Company states that the proposed modifications will make Schedule RF available to additional customers. The Company proposes three modifications to the existing Schedule RF language. First, the Company proposes to make Schedule RF available as a companion tariff to all customers who are concurrently subscribed to any of the Company’s nonresidential tariffs. The Company states that currently, customers who are subscribed to one of the Company’s market based nonresidential rate schedules are not eligible to participate in Schedule RF. Second,the Company proposes to eliminate the requirement that any customer wishing to apply for service under Schedule RF must be adding new load in the Company’s Virginia service territory of at least 30,000,000 kilowatt-hours annually. As modified, participating customers would be required instead to commit to purchasing at least 2,000 Environmental Attributes annually. Finally, the Company proposes to include a provision in Schedule RF to permit a customer to assign or otherwise delegate the Schedule RF commitment to an affiliate, subsidiary, or tenant, subject to reasonable requirements and upon the Company’s written approval. The Company states this modification will enable affiliates, subsidiaries, or tenants of the Company’s customers who consume electricity supplied by the Company but are not themselves customers to also support the cost effectiveness of renewable generation facilities by purchasing Environmental Attributes from new renewable facilities at a fixed price. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on June 18, 2019, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff.
