Crime rises 6% in 2021 Traffic crashes, fatalities jump; juvenile arrests plummet

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Crime in Prince William County rose about 6% in 2021 with the most serious offenses, including murder, rape, aggravated assault and robbery, all ticking upward, according to the annual crime report the county police department released last week.

But the overall crime rate, defined by the number of crimes per 1,000 residents, was still lower in 2021 than it was in 2019 – the year before the pandemic began. In 2019, the crime rate stood at 34.6 crimes per 1,000 residents. In 2021, it was 31.6, up slightly from 30.4 in 2020.

And while some incidents trended higher in 2021 – including crimes against persons and traffic fatalities – the county saw sharp declines in other areas, including juvenile arrests, arrests for drug offenses and traffic stops.

The mixed results could reflect changes in habits since the pandemic began as well as changes in state laws, according to Prince

“The new approach by SROs and changes to the disorderly law appear to have resulted in the reduction in juvenile arrests.

We see this as positive, keeping juveniles out of the criminal justice system for minor offenses that the schools can handle through their own discipline.”

Prince William County property and vehicle owners will face higher tax bills in 2023, but the increases likely won’t be as high as initially expected, according to the Prince William County Board of Supervisors’ most recent budget deliberations this week.

Acting County Executive Elijah Johnson offered a re-

Homeowner groups join to oppose rural data centers

William Police Chief Peter Newsham.

For example, Newsham said, more cars returned to area roadways in 2021, which could have driven up both traffic crashes and traffic fatalities. Traffic crashes were up about 28% over 2020, while traffic fatalities spiked about 64%, rising from 17 in 2020 to 28 in 2021.

As 102 landowners in northwest Prince William County join forces with data center operators to try to create a data-farm corridor on their properties there, an even larger number of local homeowners has banded together in opposition to the idea. The second group is a coalition of homeowner associations, or HOAs, from inside and outside the county, that formed in the last two months and claims 53,000 members.

Kathy Kulick, the leader of the Independent Homeowners Alliance of Prince William and one of the organizers of the coalition, said it came together in reaction to recent proposals to change land-use maps and zoning to allow data centers on more than 2,100 acres of what is known as the county’s rural crescent.

The coalition, which calls itself the HOA Roundtable of Prince William County, recently sent a letter to Virginia’s two U.S. senators calling for a congressional investigation into the “potentially devastating impacts” of the proposed data center corridor, known as the “PW Digital Gateway,” on Manassas National Battlefield Park.

County taxes likely going up, but not as much BUDGET, from page 1 As a result of what Johnson called an “unprecedented” rise in the value of used cars and trucks, the county is proposing assessing vehicles at just 80% of their value instead of the full 100%. The reduction would come on top of the state’s existing “car tax relief” protocol, which exempts 45% of the tax on vehicles valued up to $20,000. (For vehicles valued at more than $20,000, the exemption is applied to the first $20,000 in value).

Even with the change, vehicle tax bills will likely rise in 2023, but not as much, according to Prince William County Finance Director Michelle Attreed.

“Assessing at 80% of [a vehicle’s] value will not completely negate a personal property tax increase in all cases but will mitigate the impact,” Attreed told the Prince William Times in an email.

Values for vehicle model years 2007 and later appreciated anywhere from 10% to 40% over the past year, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association book of values, Attreed noted.

Lowering the real estate tax rate further would result in an average residential tax bills of $4,839 – an average increase of $172 over the current year’s bills. Johnson’s original budget proposal would have resulted in an average residential tax bill increase of $233.

Johnson said the changes were being proposed to offer residents a reprieve amid high inflation. Prices rose about 8.5% since last year, the highest year-over-year jump since 1981.

“We wanted to go further, but we just didn’t have the capacity to do it at this time without making significant cuts to programs and services,” Johnson said.

Higher staff raises

Johnson’s latest budget also proposes boosting county staff raises by 6%, up from the initially proposed 4%. Johnson said the higher raises

Proposed tax rates Real estate tax rate

Proposed for 2023: $1.03 Current: $1.115 Average residential tax bill: $4,839 Average increase: $172 (Down from initial $233)

Personal property (vehicle) tax rate

Proposed for 2023: Vehicles assessed at 80% value Rate: $3.70 per $100 in assessed value (less 45% of first $20,000)

Business tangible/computer peripheral (data center) tax rate Proposed for 2023: $1.65 per $100 in assessed value Current: $1.50 NEW meals tax rate: 4%

would cost about $7.6 million and would be paid for with various savings, including about $4.1 million by eliminating a planned 1% “pay plan adjustment” as well as about $1.2 million saved due to a delay of at least one year in transitioning the local health district to a county-run health department.

The higher raises follow a rally the county’s firefighters led in March calling for higher salaries. On Tuesday, April 12, Mitch Nason, president of the Prince William County Professional Firefighters, thanked the supervisors for the proposed boost but said county staff also need a cost-of-living adjustment.

“It’s well deserved for county staff … but it comes well short of catching up with inflation,” Nason said.

Speakers mixed on budget

During the public hearing, the supervisors heard from more than 45 speakers. Several criticized the proposed new 4% meals tax, saying it would hurt county restaurants already struggling amid higher food and beverage prices. Others said the county should not be raising taxes at all when residents are also squeezed

by inflation.

Those criticizing the budget included Denny Daugherty, chairman of the Prince William County GOP Committee, who said higher tax bills run counter to the board’s pledge to address the county’s lack of affordable housing.

“Help people afford to stay in their houses,” Daugherty told the board. “That’s the best thing you can do for affordable housing.”

But the board also heard from dozens of residents who asked that the county boost or shift spending to various new initiatives.

Several high school students and track coaches implored the board to consider dedicating 30% of the proposed meals tax revenue – or about $7 million a year -- to build a multisport indoor track facility that could provide competition and tournament space for local high school teams and larger tournaments.

The meal tax, if approved, is expected to raise about $24 million annually, which would be split between the county and the school division. Under current estimates, the school division would receive about $14 million annually from the meals tax, while the county would receive

$10.5 million, according to county projections.

The supervisors last considered such an indoor athletic facility back in 2019 when supervisors discussed what should be funded by a proposed parks bond. At that time, the board decided against the facility, which was estimated at that time to cost $84 million. Instead, the bond referendum included $41 million in improvements focused on existing parks and trail projects. More than 70% of voters voted in favor of the 2019 bond referendum.

Others asked the board to fund an office of early childhood education and to dedicate $2 million to an immigrant welcome center run by CASA. The advocacy organization won $5 million in state funding to open the welcome center in Woodbridge but needs another $2 million in operating funds, advocates said.

The supervisors offered no comment on the requests. The board will hold its “mark-up” session on the budget next Tuesday, April 19 and expects to approve a final budget for fiscal year 2023 on Tuesday, April 26.

Derrick Wood vies for a 2nd term as Dumfries mayor

By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer

When Derrick Wood first decided to run for Dumfries Town Council in 2012, he had a vision of the town becoming a place to “live, work and play.”

“I wanted to give people a place to go and not just drive through,” Wood said. “At first, I couldn’t see how we [we]re going to get there.”

He does now.

As a Dumfries town councilman, Wood said he focused on creating a parks and recreation department, offering summer concerts and launching a farmers market. During his first term as mayor, historical horse-race gaming came to the town and will expand when the $400 million “The Rose” gaming resort opens next year with its hotel, conference center, restaurants and, hopefully, a promised public park.

Wood was a member of the Dumfries Town Council for six years, winning his first election as a write-in candidate to fill the remaining two years on a vacant term. He then won a four-year term in 2014 before running for mayor in 2018.

He is seeking reelection in November 2022. So far, Wood faces just one opponent: Ebony Lofton, a critic of “The Rose,” who said she is running to ensure its promises are fulfilled.

“I went from knowing nothing about local politics to driving the school bus,” Wood said.

Wood, 44, describes himself as an entrepreneur – he owns Dyvine BBQ in Motion, a food truck that operates from a permanent perch just off Main Street – a civic leader and a Marine Corps veteran.

Wood lists among his accomplishments increasing the town’s tax revenue by more than 50% in the last four years largely through the new

Dumfries Mayor Derrick Wood was first elected to town council in 2012. gaming tax generated by Rosie’s Gaming Emporium in the Triangle Shopping Center, which opened in January 2021, as well as revenue the town receives from its DMV Select, new homes and businesses, and increases in revenue generated by its meals and sales taxes. As a result, the town council is considering not sending property owners a June real estate bill.

Wood said he expects revenue will increase by 300% by fiscal year 2024, once “The Rose,” which is set to open in 2023, becomes fully operational.

Wood also points to overseeing $800 million in new investments during his time as mayor. This includes the beginning of the $180 million U.S. Route 1 widening project, which is being funded mostly with state money and has gotten underway with property acquisition and utility relocation, as well as the $400 million investment from “The Rose.”

The widening of the Fraley Boulevard portion of U.S. 1 will pave the way for the town to open its Main Street to two-way traffic and create a new downtown -- “a place people will come to,” Wood said. “That’s exciting.”

“We have a well-managed government. I think we have the right people in place, and we are keeping them,” Wood added. The town has a fully staffed police department with a starting salary of $60,000. The town also offers full employer-funded medical plans to town staff and their families.

Wood said he is next setting his sights on dredging Quantico Creek, so the town can return to its historic roots of being a port town as it was in the late 1700s.

“We would have waterfront property again, and Dumfries would once again be the heart and soul of Prince William County,” he said.

Wood said when he first ran for office, Dumfries was being forgotten with development happening nearby but not within the town. He said he intends to continue to work on the buy-in.

“The buy-in now,” he said, “is that Dumfries is that place where people should ‘live, work and play.”

A second rezoning application covering another 800 acres in the area is expected but has not yet been filed.

“Is there a priority? Should one come before the other? Seems like it,” she said.

As other HOAs join, Kulick said they hope to form an umbrella coalition of homeowner associations and civic organizations similar to the Sully District Council in Fairfax. “We intend to make it permanent and take positions on other issues,” she said.

Prince William offers EV users a free charge

By Cher Muzyk Staff Writer

Electric vehicle drivers are invited to charge up for free at the new “EV” charging stations installed outside Prince William County’s government center, the first and only charging stations on Prince William County property.

The county’s EV charging station project began last year. Installation of the five dual stations was completed in early December 2021 by vendor ChargePoint, according to Matthew F. Villareale, director of facilities and fleet management for Prince William County. The stations are located in front of the James J. McCoart Building, located off Prince William Parkway at 1 County Complex Court, Woodbridge.

Michael Hurlocker, who works at the county’s office of management and budget said he uses the new charging stations regularly to charge his fully electric Nissan Leaf.

“It’s a huge convenience to be able to plug in where I work,” he said.

Hurlocker said his vehicle has about a 90-mile range, and he gets about 20 miles of range per hour of charging at McCoart. “Range anxiety is a real thing” with electric vehicles so “availability of chargers is significant,” he said.

The idea for the chargers came from Prince William residents, Villareale said. The installation of the chargers is in line with the county’s 2021-24 strategic plan’s goal for “sustainable growth,” he said.

According to the strategic plan, the county aims to “establish Prince William County as a leader in promoting sustainable growth that ensures the social, economic and environmental health of the county.” Increasing the number of electric-vehicle charging stations in the county was one of the goal’s “key performance indicators.”

The county added the chargers at the same time improvements were made to handicapped parking spots outside McCoart to make them compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, Villareale said.

“Knowing that the residents wanted to see the county provide more sustainable solutions, it was the right time to install the stations while we were completing the other work in the parking lot,” he explained.

The cost of chargers was $233,625 and was paid for with funds from the county’s department of facilities and fleet management. The county is pursuing grants of up to $32,500 from Dominion Energy toward the cost of the charging stations, Villareale said. ®

FREE CHARGE AT WORK: Michael Hurlocker, a Prince William County employee, said it takes about an hour to add a 20-mile range to his EV at the county’s free EV charging stations.

Anyone with a free ChargePoint account can access the chargers for free. They are “level 2” charging stations, which take approximately four hours to fully charge a vehicle.

In general, charging electric vehicles varies from site to site, but usually costs between $5 to $10 for a full charge, Villareale said.

For now, the county is paying the cost of each EV charge, though that could change in the future. Since February the county has spent $52 for vehicles to charge at McCoart, he said.

The county couldn’t predict how often the chargers would be used when they were installed. Of the more than 161,000 vehicles regis-

tered in the county, only about 2,400 are identified as electric vehicles.

The stations were used 24 times in February and 26 times in the first half of March, Villareale said.

Hurlocker said that the most vehicles he has seen charging at McCoart at one time is three. He said that he expects that number to rise as word spreads about the availability of the chargers and also with the increasing popularity of electric vehicles.

Across the DC-Maryland-Virginia region the purchase and regular use of electric vehicles has been steadily on the rise over the last decade.

Crime rises 6% in 2021 CRIME, from page 6 In an email to the Prince William Times this week, Newsham called those increases “very troubling” and said the increase in traffic over the past year is “one likely factor.”

At the same time, changes to state laws are likely driving declines in juvenile arrests as well as traffic citations and arrests for drug offenses.

In 2020 and 2021, Virginia lawmakers passed several criminal justice reforms, which included limiting the reasons police officers could make traffic stops as a way to prevent racial profiling.

Lawmakers also legalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana and eliminated a charge for school-based disorderly conduct.

The last change, Newsham said, likely contributed to a sharp decline in juvenile arrests, which fell from 861 in 2020 to 473 in 2021 – a drop of 45%. Newsham also cited changes on the county level to allow school administrators – not school resource officers – to handle minor school-based infractions that might have previously resulted in student arrests.

“The new approach by SROs and changes to the disorderly law appear to have resulted in the reduction in juvenile arrests,” Newsham wrote.

“We see this as positive, keeping juveniles out of the criminal justice system for minor offenses that the schools can handle through their own discipline. Serious offenses are still handled by the police.”

The decline of juvenile arrests in 2021 followed an even bigger decline from 2019 to 2020. Prince William County saw 1,823 juvenile arrests in 2019 compared to 861 in 2020 – a drop of 52%.

In 2020, most students attended schools virtually from mid-March through the end of the school year.

Prior to 2020, juvenile arrests were on the rise since at least 2016. From 2016 to 2018, Prince William County had the highest number of juveniles arrested on school-based disorderly conduct charges in the state with 212, according to a state report.

Black students in local schools were disproportionately charged with school-based disorderly conduct, accounting for about half of all arrests despite making up only about 20% of the school population, according to state data.

‘Select group A’ offenses up 8.4%

Crimes are generally separated into three groups: crimes against persons, crimes against property and crimes against society. Incidents were higher in 2021 in the first two categories.

Offenses considered crimes against persons rose 11.2%, while crimes against property were up 10.3% in 2021, the report said.

But crimes against society – defined in the report as offenses such as gambling, drug use and prostitution – were down about 24%.

The number of reported crimes in federal category of “select group A” offenses -- including murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft – were up across the board in 2021 compared to 2020, rising about 8%.

Aggravated assaults, or assaults in which there was a significant injury or an attempt to commit a serious injury, rose 50% between 2019 to 2020, from 476 to 716. Aggravated assaults remained high in 2021 at 734. But the rate of increase yearover-year was lower at just 1.6%.

A weapon was used in 62% of the county’s aggravated assaults in 2021. In 56% of the incidents, the victim and the assailant were not known to each other, according to the report.

Murders up 2 in 2021

There were 10 murders in 2021, up two from eight in 2020. Over the past decade, murders peaked at 22 in 2016 and fell to a low of two in

TRAFFIC Citations: 18,741 ▼ 20% Crashes: 4,386 ▲ 27.8% Crash fatalities: 28 ▲ 64% 2012. The county has seen an average of about nine murders a year over the past five years, the report said.

Among the local victims in 2021, nine were killed by gunfire and one was killed in a stabbing.

Five of the 10 murders occurred in Woodbridge, three occurred in Manassas, one occurred in Dumfries and one occurred in Gainesville.

Based on Prince William County police investigations, four people were killed in domestic incidents. They included a 34-year-old Woodbridge woman and a 52-year-old Dale City woman who were killed by their husbands in murder-suicides; a 40-year-old man was slain by a female acquaintance, and a 55-year-old Manassas man who was shot and killed by his 21-year-old son, who later took his own life.

In other killings, two victims died in narcotics-related shootings; and the offenders in both cases were arrested. In one of those murders, the victim was a 17-year-old Dale City boy. In the other, the victim was a 20-year-old Dale City man.

Two victims were killed following incidents at commercial establishments with individuals they did not know. One fatal shooting took place outside Babylon Café in March 2021, while the other took place outside the Manassas Mall in April 2021. In both incidents, the offenders were arrested.

One 2021 murder remains under investigation with no suspect yet identified. On Feb. 7, a 20-year-old man was found unresponsive inside a vehicle in the 17100 block of Shell Cast Loop in Manassas at about 6:18 p.m. The investigation is ongoing.

In addition to the 10 murders, five people were killed in incidents deemed justified homicides, felony homicides or negligent homicides. One of the negligent homicides involved the death of a 17-year-old boy who was killed in August 2021, when he was shot by a 17-year-old acquaintance who was handling a firearm when it discharged.

Drug offenses, overdoses drop

Drug crimes fell about 30% in 2021, while drug overdose deaths dropped about 12%, although some of those deaths are still under investigation, and the number could rise. According to the report, 89 people died of drug overdoses in 2021, down from 101 in 2020. About 64% of those deaths were fentanyl overdoses, the report said.

The police department investigates all drug incidents that result in a death or have implications of unlawful distribution and “in all other cases, the individual is encouraged to seek help through resources offered in the public or private sector,” the report said.

Newsham said he suspected the legalization of small amounts of marijuana drove the decrease in drug possession charges.

Use of force rare, but Black residents are disproportionately impacted

Prince William County police used force 463 times in 2021 up from369 times in 2020, or in about 6% of the 7,573 arrests they made last year.

In the vast majority of those situations – 92.4% -- police officers used physical force without a weapon, such as a firearm, baton, pepper spray or canine. Officers used pepper spray in 6.4% of the cases and a taser or electronic restraint in 1.2% of the incidents, according to the 2021 police report.

As was the case in 2020 – the first year the police department included use-of-force statistics within the annual crime report – police used force against Black people in numbers disproportionate to their population and their arrests. Black people accounted for 46.9% of the department’s use-offorce incidents in 2021, down slightly from 49% in 2020, compared to 25% for white residents and 26% for Hispanic residents.

Overall, Black people accounted for 38.5% of the police department’s total arrests in 2021, while white people comprised 31.2% of arrests and Hispanic people comprised 28.4%.

Prince William County’s population is 43% white, 20% Black, 8% Asian and 23% Hispanic, according to demographic statistics posted on the county’s website.

There were no complaints of bias, racial profiling or excessive force in 2021, however. In the last five years, the Prince William County Police Department has confirmed only one complaint of bias or racial profiling and one complaint of excessive force, the report said.

Newsham offered no explanation for the continued racial disparities in the department’s useof-force numbers but noted that the county has received about $250,000 in federal funds for an independent study of the issue. The study is expected to begin this summer or fall, Newsham said.

Pa. man gets 12 years for supplying fentanyl-laced pills to local residents

By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

A Philadelphia man who pleaded guilty to supplying tens of thousands of fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills to a network of dealers in Prince William County was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison last week.

According to federal prosecutors, Eronus Blay, 45, served as a “source of supply” for counterfeit blue Oxycodone pills, which he sold in bulk to several Manassas-area dealers who regularly traveled to Philadelphia or New Jersey to meet with him. The distinctive blue pills Blay supplied – marked “M/30” with a pill press to resemble prescription Oxycodone – became known to local drug users as “Phillies,” according to charging documents.

Blay and several co-conspirators were arrested in December 2020, by which time Blay had distributed at least 1.2 kilograms of fentanyl in the form of the fake pills, prosecutors estimate.

Relatively cheap and easy to manufacture, counterfeit pills like those distributed by Blay and his accomplices have become widespread in

recent years. According to information from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, an estimated four in 10 counterfeit pills contain a lethal dose of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that can be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. In 2021, more than 20 million such fake pills were seized by authorities nationwide, the DEA has reported.

Blay first came under investigation in June 2020, when investigators with the Prince William County Police Department and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives traced a distribution network of counterfeit pills to his Philadelphia residence.

The previous month, Prince William detectives had started hearing from multiple informants that “several individuals from the Northern Virginia area” were travelling weekly to Philadelphia in order to pick up “large quantities of blue pills” that were suspected to contain fentanyl, court filings said. The source of the pills – whom local drug users had dubbed the “Philly plug” – would supply as many as 2,000 “Phillies” at a time to distributors, informants told police, who would then sell the

pills at a mark-up in and around Manassas. Through the informants, authorities were able to identify Blay as the supplier, and three Manassas residents – Cameron Jackson, Nicole Oliphant and Lander Milla – as Blay’s distributors.

Over the next six months, investigators used informants to connect with the Manassas-based distributors and set up purchases with Blay.

On several occasions, court filings show, an informant provided Oliphant with money to buy pills, after which law enforcement would surveil her drive to Northeast Philadelphia to get pills from Blay.

By Nov. 4, 2020, law enforcement had purchased “approximately 100 grams of pills suspected to contain fentanyl” from Blay, an ATF agent estimated in charging documents.

On Dec. 3, 2020, agents arrested Blay in Philadelphia and executed search warrants at his Philadelphia home, as well as at a property linked to him in Trenton.

“During the search of his Philadelphia residence,” a court filing said, “law enforcement recovered $18,000 in cash and numerous jewelry items” with an estimated col-

lective value of more than $10,000.”

When questioned, Blay told officers that “he is self-employed and works in construction, doing varying numbers of jobs per week,” the filing continued. However, “bank records obtained during the investigation revealed a large amount of cash deposits and cash flow through [Blay’s] known accounts, consistent with narcotics trafficking.”

Blay was subsequently transported to Virginia and charged with one felony count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.

Blay’s co-conspirators were also arrested and separately convicted of federal drug charges. On Aug. 17, 2021, Milla, 23, was sentenced to seven years in prison for conspiracy to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl. On Sept. 3, 2021, Oliphant, 36, was sentenced to three years in prison for conspiracy to distribute fentanyl.

On Feb. 25, Jackson was sentenced to 11 years in prison for conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

How Va. officials hope to avoid a repeat of the I-95 shutdown

By Graham Moomaw Virginia Mercury

One of the first ideas proposed in Virginia after a January snowstorm left thousands of motorists stranded overnight on Interstate 95, some for nearly 24 hours, was a law requiring tractor-trailers to stay in the right-hand lane during winter storms.

After pushback from the trucking industry and concerns it might create a wall of trucks that would block other vehicles from getting on or off the highway, the proposal was scaled down to only prohibit truckers from using cruise control or compression brakes in wintry weather, while specifying police can’t enforce those rules by pulling truckers over.

If signed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin, the bill would mostly send a signal to truckers to drive cautiously around snow, sleet or ice to prevent the jack-knife crashes that contributed to the total shutdown of a major highway on a frigid night just after New Year’s Day. “Generally speaking, the truckers got the message,” said Sen. Dave Marsden, D-37th, of Alexandria, who sponsored the bill as chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. “A little good came of it.”

Three months after the I-95 fiasco, with most of the General Assembly’s work for the year nearly wrapped up, state policymakers just received a state-commissioned report delving into what went wrong and what can be done to avoid a repeat the next time a snowstorm hits. There were no deaths nor serious injuries during the highway blockage, which stretched 40 miles from the Fredericksburg area to Northern Virginia.

The 41-page report, completed for $79,427 by a consulting firm that has an ongoing contract with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, concluded the state government “collectively lost situational awareness” of how bad the blockages were in an event that stretched over two days. But it largely validates state officials’ explanations that the unusual weather (rain and warmth followed by rapid snow and fast-dropping temperatures) created “cascading challenges” that severely limited how the state could respond.

Those problems, according to the report, included power outages that knocked out traffic cameras, a faulty generator at a Virginia State Police communications center, “inoperable cell towers,” the state’s real-time traffic information system crashing and failing to update for four hours and the lack of a readily available state helicopter that could have given officials a better view of how bad the traffic backups were.

Heavy snow, high traffic volumes and disabled vehicles, the report said, impeded the Virginia Department of Transportation’s ability to plow, and

PHOTO COURTESY ALISON BRADSHAW

The view from Interstate 95 near Exit 137.8, south of Fredericksburg, where New York resident Alison Bradshaw was stuck with her family during the snowstorm on Jan. 3-4, 2022. the preceding rain meant the highway couldn’t be pre-treated with anti-icing chemicals.

The review details all the efforts state officials made to warn drivers to stay off the roads as the storm approached, while faulting the communications that went out after the crisis was underway for giving little consideration to “drivers’ emotional well-being or perspective.” In a “misleading” text alert VDOT sent out at 9:14 a.m. on Jan. 4, the report found, the agency told drivers: “State and locals coming ASAP with supplies and to move you.”

“Stranded drivers mistakenly interpreted the alert to mean that emergency workers would soon be coming car-to-car on I-95,” the report says.

“When they did not, many took to social media to vent their frustration.”

The state could improve its response to similar crises in the future, the report suggested, through better internal and external communication, stronger plans for large-scale highway shutdowns, identification of facilities on the I-95 corridor where state personnel can work together to coordinate the response and being better equipped to make use of public social media posts to understand what drivers are experiencing.

“With greater situational awareness of the incident across the state, VDOT and VSP could have sooner employed targeted measures, such as blocking ramps leading onto I-95, calling in additional towing resources, sending snowplows against traffic and pulling cars to nearby commuter lots to reduce towing cycle times (rather than towing them to normal locations further away),” the report says.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin said the report showed clear failures of preparation and communication, and he’s made it clear he expects better during his

station nearby.”

Last year, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors endorsed the MWCOG goals of reducing the county’s greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2005 baseline and sourcing 100% of the county’s electricity from renewable sources by 2035, said Giulia Manno, the county’s new environmental and energy sustainability officer who recently joined the county’s office of executive management.

The supervisors adopted an even more aggressive goal of sourcing 100% of electricity for county government operations from renewable sources five years earlier – by 2030, Manno said.

“In order to reach these goals, the county will be developing a plan to

adminstration. Youngkin issued multiple emergency declarations in January in advance of winter storms.

“We’re going to continue to do the exact same thing,” Youngkin told reporters at an unrelated bill-signing event this week. “We’re going to overprepare, overcommunicate and overexecute.”

In statements accompanying the report’s release, leaders from VDOT, State Police and VDEM said it would help guide future responses.

“Our on-road messaging, snow-clearing resource staging and partner engagement are all areas in which we are exploring new approaches to improve our response,” Virginia Commissioner of Highways Stephen Brich said in a news release last Friday.

The report’s opening page notes the review was “not an investigation or a search for a person or entity upon which to lay blame.”

“In our collective experience, we have never seen an example when one moment — or one person — was solely responsible for what happened during the response to an incident,” says the report, completed by Arlington-based CNA, a research firm that focuses on public safety and security issues.

The review was requested by former transportation secretary Shannon Valentine and former public safety secretary Brian Moran, both of whom served under former Gov. Ralph Northam.

The consultants did not interview Valentine and Moran for the report, though they were the cabinet-level officials who oversaw the agencies most involved in the storm response. The hazardous conditions began early in the day on Jan. 3, but the Northam administration didn’t fully grasp the severity of the crisis until around 5 a.m. on Jan. 4, according to the Washington Post.

Why the National Guard wasn’t mobilized

Because Northam didn’t issue a pre-emptive emergency declaration after officials decided the forecast wasn’t dire enough to require one, the report found, there was no way to mobilize the Virginia National Guard in time to assist stranded motorists, many of whom spent the night on the cold highway with limited food and water.

“Even if the Virginia National Guard had been activated during the storm, once the state agencies understood the extent of the backup (on January 3 or 4), the Virginia National Guard would have had little to no impact on the situation already in progress,” the report says.

Marsden said he’s interested in exploring whether there might be faster ways to get the Guard prepped to respond to emergencies officials can’t always foresee.

“Nobody thought it was a big deal,” he said.

“And boy, it was a big deal.”

reduce emissions in many sectors with transportation being one of the most impactful,” Manno said in an email, adding: “Installing EV charging stations contributes to the county’s climate goals by incentivizing low carbon transportation options.”

A nationwide electric vehicle charging network could be just five years away. President Biden announced in February that $5 billion will be made available from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law over five years to design and build out a “National EV Charging Network,” according to the U.S. Department of Transportation website.

The plan is to create a network of EV charging stations along designated alternative fuel corridors

especially along the interstate highway route. This year, $615 million is available to be allocated to states that apply for funds, the USDOT website said.

Each state must submit an “EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan” to access their share of the funds. Virginia could receive as much as $15.7 million for fiscal year 2022, according to the USDOT website.

Virginia is working on its application and expects to submit an application to the Federal Highway Administration later this year, according to Marshall M. Herman, acting director of communications for the Virginia Department of Transportation.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | April 14, 2022

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PW Digital Gateway would pay for widening Pageland Lane Gainesville needs another local north/south road solution. I am not writing about a Bi-County Parkway.

Nobody I know from the Potomac District to the Gainesville District wants a Bi-County Parkway, including the entire Prince William Board of County Supervisors, who just unanimously removed it from the county’s comprehensive plan.

However, in terms of another needed local north/south road solution in the Gainesville area: Pageland Lane is the best place for this solution, according to a recent traffic study conducted by consultant Grove Slade for the PW Digital Gateway proposal and as identified by the county’s transportation department on the county’s draft 2040 mobility plan. This is true whether the supervisors approve the PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment or not.

I would imagine even the Manassas Battlefield would like a Pageland widening in order to divert traffic around the park since they once favored a Bi-County Parkway for this same reason. I know, as a resident of the area proposed for the PW Digital Gateway data center corridor, it is just a matter of time before a Pageland Lane widening becomes a reality.

If the PW Digital Gateway is approved, Pageland Lane area resi-

dents will be able to sell their land and get out before Pageland Lane is widened; and some or all of the improvements will likely be paid for by the data center industry. However, if the PW Digital Gateway is not approved, the taxpayers will be sure to pay for all of the widening of Pageland Lane.

In addition, the people living on Pageland Lane will have the character of their land further destroyed (transmission lines were the first destruction). A Pageland Lane widening would require condemnation by eminent domain for pennies on the dollar. Other people would likely choose the undesirable option of a conservation easement. A PW Digital Gateway would prevent this from happening and provides a winwin solution.

The 2,133 acres included in the PW Digital Gateway application represent less than 1% of all the land in Prince William County. Yet, if approved, the project is estimated to generate $4.2 billion dollars of much-needed commercial tax revenue in the first 20 years alone, according to an assessment by the Prince William County Finance Department. A PW Digital Gateway would be a big win for everyone in the county.

Our teachers deserve collective bargaining now I distinctly remember the notable impact my first-grade teacher at Dale City Elementary, Mrs. Sorrell, had on me, a 6-year-old who didn’t yet know how to read, not having attended kindergarten. She opened up the world of reading in a lightbulb moment I still vividly remember.

Now, as a mother, I have had two students in Prince William County Schools. From my own experience as a student, as a school parent and as a friend of many educators in this and surrounding counties, I have watched teachers go above and beyond. Our community and others benefit from the graduates these teachers send out. In the past two years, the bulk of work to prepare for our world’s future has fallen on the shoulders of teachers, as they pivoted without warning and learned new ways of educating students.

While the cards, flowers and words of thanks during upcoming Teacher Appreciation Week are nice, they are mere lip service if not backed up with action that shows appreciation. As a parent, I fully support collective bargaining for our teachers and school staff. If we truly support the dignity and work of teachers, and truly value our children’s education, we will give teachers the platform to advocate for themselves and to negotiate fair pay and benefits – just as we do in our own professions.

Whether through third-party verification of signature cards or introducing and passing it outright, pass collective bargaining for teachers now. This is not about any individual or group – but the future of the profession and of our communities.

CATHERINA HURLBURT Gainesville

County’s timeline on data center decisions is all wrong Many readers don’t realize that the Prince William Digital Gateway is not the county’s plan. It’s a private business proposal by wealthy landowners to maximize their land’s value and facilitate its sale to developers. Responsible county planners would never have suggested locating a 2,133-acre industrial corridor between a national park and a state forest.

A more thoughtful plan is achievable, but not the way the county is going about it. County officials are considering the Prince William Digital Gateway, a review of the county’s data center overlay district and an update to the county’s longterm planning map known as the comprehensive plan concurrently rather than in a logical sequence.

The comprehensive plan update should first decide the county’s vision for 2040, and the path to achieve it. It should determine the goal for data center growth and how to prudently manage it. If achiev-

ing that goal requires additional land, then planners should review the best options for expanding the overlay district to enable it. Once accomplished, data center proposals should be considered that align with the county’s plan – instead of the developers’ plans.

There’s no need to sacrifice tax revenue while we construct an improved plan. A tremendous amount of data center capacity is already under development, with more land available in the existing overlay district, to yield greater tax revenue sooner and with fewer ill effects.

Prince William is already on track to exceed Loudoun’s data center capacity without the Prince William Digital Gateway and its environmental risks.

Let’s stop settling for developers’ bad ideas and devise better ones ourselves. That’s what our government is for.

BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

U.S. should fully fund its Foreign Service As a retired member of the U.S. Foreign Service, I was proud to represent America in Israel, Indonesia, Afghanistan and Denmark. I write this in advance of Foreign Service Day on May 6, a day designated by Congress to honor our active-duty and retired members of the Foreign Service.

From the Afghanistan withdrawal and evacuation to the war in Ukraine and the resulting humanitarian crisis, diplomacy has been greatly tested this past year.

Coming on the heels of a pandemic that forced great changes to the practice of diplomacy, this has been a challenging time for members of the Foreign Service who live and work in U.S. missions around the world, serving as America’s first line of defense.

Despite the challenges, the work of diplomacy does and must continue. I applaud our diplomats—members of the Foreign Service — who work with their counterparts in the country where they’re posted and with U.S. allies around the world to resolve conflicts through negotiation and diplomacy and by doing so, help to keep America safe.

More resources are needed to do this work, including more ongoing training and increased staffing. On this Foreign Service Day, I write to recognize the service of our diplomats and urge the U.S. government to fully fund the Foreign Service to support diplomacy.

A few things we’re cooking up at Prince William Public Libraries

by Kirk Johnson

Contributing Writer

There is no shortage of recipes to be found online. It seems that any amateur chef with an internet connection has a blog or Instagram account promoting the culinary virtues of every diet under the sun while praising the unique properties of recipes for everything from liquified “avant-garde” foods to the perfect grilled-cheese sandwich.

As with so much on the internet, the variety can become overwhelming, and it can be difficult to make simple, apples-to-apples comparisons (pun intended) between different cuisines. If you’re interested in sampling foods from around the country or around the world, but don’t want to have to come up with different search terms while juggling dozens of open tabs, your library has just two online resources for you.

Of course, we also have cookbooks and other digital resources, but we think you may enjoy “A to Z World Food’ and ‘A to Z Food America” on our Digital Library, pwcva.gov/digitallibrary. The digital library can be accessed with your library card from home or anywhere with an internet connection.

What’s Hot at Prince William Libraries: April 2022

by Kirk Johnson

Contributing Writer

New books are arriving at Prince William Public Libraries as fast as we can catalog and label them. Stop by your local branch to grab what’s hot before your next read flies off the shelf!

“Braking Day”

Science fiction fans will find a lot to like about “Braking Day,” the new novel from Adam Oyebanji.

His debut novel is set on a “generation” ship—an interstellar spaceship which was designed to account for multiple generations of humans to be born, live and die over the span of a journey of more than a century. The action takes place as the fifth generation prepares to land on its new home, but complications ensue. With timely themes about technology and AI (artificial intelligence), this is more than simple space adventure.

“The Shadow in the Glass”

If you’re looking for an adult— and somewhat dark—variation on an iconic fairy tale narrative, J.J.A. Harwood’s “The Shadow in the Glass” is full of surprises. There likely won’t be any Disney remakes of this stepsister story, but readers will be gripped by the dangers and suspense this alt-Cinderella faces.

“The Younger Wife”

Bestselling author Sally Hep-

worth is known for her smart, tautly written, suspenseful thrillers focused on family life and a female point of view. In “The Younger Wife,” she is back with a twisted story with a well-drawn cast of characters centered around a compelling, richly drawn protagonist. A prolific author who is becoming a known quantity to her growing fanbase, this is as good a title as any to find out what the fuss is all about.

“Memphis”

Fans of the “Read with Jenna Book Club” from the “Today Show” already know about debut novelist Tara

M. Stringfellow. Her book “Memphis” is a multi-generational portrait of Black women over the course of multiple decades, set in the titular city. Drawing rave reviews and praise from readers and fellow authors, Stringfellow is a new writer to watch.

“Lessons in Chemistry”

The “Today Show” isn’t the only book club on morning TV; “Good Morning America” has its own book club, and one of their latest picks was just published. “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus takes a fresh look at issues of female independence and changing standards of

romance and attraction in a plot shot through with twists, turns and a generous helping of humor. Science and cooking provide two different metaphors for the “chemistry” the lead character looks for in her love life.

If you’re a romance fan who believes the genre doesn’t get enough respect, this is one book you could make “exhibit A” in making your case.

Those are just a few of the great new novels which are fresh from the publisher and waiting for you at your local library.

Franny’s Farmacy in Vint Hill celebrates all things hemp, CBD

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Mason is a believer in the healing power of CBD. She said that her customers use a variety of hemp products to calm inflammation, to reduce pain, stress and anxiety and promote healthy sleep.

For herself, Mason said that she uses tinctures regularly to reduce anxiety and sharpen her focus. “It gives me clarity,” she said. “It stops the constant chatter in my head.”

She emphasized that her three staffers are knowledgeable on CBD and are trained to be able to educate customers on the best way to use the store’s products for maximum benefit.

The new CBD store is fitting in nicely in the Vint Hill space, according to Mason; it’s next door to Old Bust Head Brewing Company and a bon bon’s throw from Farm Station Café and the Covert Café. Mason’s husband Rich Black also runs a business next door, so the synergy is right, said Mason. She said she knows Old Bust Head owners Ike and Julie Broaddus and was thrilled to open her shop in the same area.

Although open since December 2021, Franny’s Farmacy NOVA CBD store celebrated a grand opening at its Vint Hill location earlier this month.

The vibe was cool and casual; the shop has a spa-like feel. Owner Robin Mason said that’s appropriate considering the health benefits she believes CBD products can provide.

Neat rows of soothing balms and lotions are lined up alongside edible products like cookies or jars of hemp honey. The flawless mirror glazes on perfect hemp bon bons rivals those in an upscale confectionary.

Refrigerated hemp seltzers are popular, said Mason, as are gummies, tinctures and teas. Also available are “smokables” and beauty products.

The Vint Hill franchise is marketed as a “seed to shelf” enterprise, because “we know where all our products come from,” said Mason. The hemp that winds up in Mason’s store’s products is grown organically in North Carolina.

Rich Black and Robin Mason chatted with Franny Tacy, the original “Franny,” at Fanny’s Farmacy at Vint Hill during its grand opening April 2. the pharmaceutical industry. But her heart is in hemp, she said.

“Hemp is the only plant that can feed, clothe, shelter and provide medicine,” she said. She refers to her products as “high-end” CBD.

SB 591

Despite all the excitement of the grand opening, a Richmond-sized cloud hovers over Franny’s Farmacy and other CBD sellers in Virginia. Senate Bill 591, legislation that would restrict the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) permissible in CBD products, has reached Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s desk. THC is the chemical in CBD that provides “the high” associated with cannabis. The bill would allow a maximum of 0.25 milligrams of THS per serving, or 1 mg per package.

Mason said that “this would be one of the harshest restrictions put on hemp products in the nation and

restrict small businesses from being able to carry a variety of non-intoxicating CBD items that can benefit consumers in many ways . …

The 0.25 mg limit will affect most full-spectrum products.”

She has been working with the East Coast Collective, a group of “dedicated cannabis enthusiasts” to lobby Youngkin to reject the legislation. A letter the collective has written to gather support reads, “With this legislation on the rise, almost every single cannabis business owner that produces or sells their own products will be shot down, and in most cases forced to close shop. If we do not all take a collective stand and voice our opinions now, we may never have the opportunity to grow our own brands or even continue growing and creating cannabis products in general.”

BATTLEFIELD

Contenders emerge as boys soccer season hits halfway point

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

There’s a plethora of boys soccer contenders in the Cedar Run and Cardinal districts, with no one running away with a regular-season title yet.

Freedom, Colgan, and Forest Park are jockeying atop the Cardinal, with Osbourn, Battlefield, and Osbourn Park dueling in the Cedar Run with the season about halfway done.

A look at some of the squads:

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY MATT BLESI

Brentsville’s young team is playing well after a slow start.

BRENTSVILLE

-Coach/District: Matt Blesi (7th year)/ Northwestern -Up front: Emmett Howard, Blake Fletcher, Tyler Riffle -Midfield and defense: Jaiden Borba, Cason Russell, Carlos Garcia, Dylan Spencer, Kai Markham -Keepers: Wyatt Vonderhaar -Coach’s take: It’s a pack of young Tigers after graduating 10 from last year’s squad. Perhaps that’s why it took until the fourth match before Brentsville scored a goal.

But the Tigers tied Fauquier and Liberty, then beat Fauquier in a wild 6-5 result.

“That shows the continued rise in our chemistry, with each other and on the ball,” coach Matt Blesi said.

Brentsville’s offense is powered by strikers Blake Fletcher and Emmett Howard, supported

by Tyler Riffle, a central attacking midfielder.

Blesi noted improved play from left midfielder Carlos Garcia and right midfielder Cason Russell.

The defense is steadied by senior center backs Dylan Spencer and Kai Markham, along with defensive center mid Jaiden Borba, Brentsville’s anchor in the midfield.

“He leads the team with defensive wins, and his controlled possession and distribution set up our offensive attack.”

Freshman goalie Wyatt Vonderhaar has two clean sheets already.

“There are no bad teams and no easy games. Any team in this district can beat any other on a given night.”

-FREEDOM COACH BENJI KIMBLE

PHOTO BY DARIN MORRELL

Senior midfielder Danis Jacevic is Battlefield’s team leader.

-Coach/District: Wes Homan (1st year)/Cedar Run -Up front and midfield: Danis Jacevic, Amari Benjamin, Manzi Siibo, Adam Sadiq, Erick Haddadin -Defense: Jacob Cross, Luke Smith, Dariyan Benham, Kyle Morrell -Keepers: Dylan Rose, Luke Boggess -Coach’s take: After a tie versus Chantilly and a 1-0 loss to Independence, the Bobcats have gone 5-0-2 to contend for the district lead with Osbourn, Patriot, and Osbourn Park.

They’ve done it with a variety of talented players.

“I believe that we have a very deep team that can count on multiple players to step up on a given night,” coach Wes Homan said.

“The group has done well so far.”

Senior midfielder Danis Jacevic is the team leader, Homan said, supported by a plethora of attackminded players like juniors Amari Benjamin and Manzi Siibo, and seniors Adam Sadiq and Erick Haddadin.

There’s more experience in the back, with seniors Jacob Cross and Dariyan Benham patrolling the defense in front of a tandem of senior keepers in Dylan Rose and Luke Boggess.

“Adding to our group have been key contributors Carter Cramp, Yazan Yaghmmour, Alex Shawky, Jaiden Williams, Emmitt Inestroza, Ray Rivera Torres, and Connor Sturdevant,” Homan added.

FREEDOM

-Coach/District: Benji Kimble (11th year)/Cardinal -Up front and midfield: Giovanni Garcilazo, Abdul Karama, Muhammad Dainkeh, Kofi Acquah, Juan Valladares Sanchez, Joshua Lizama, Oscar Martinez-Zavaleta, Josue Melgar -Defense: Javier Lopez Escobar, Jeffery Manzanares, Anthony Melara-Ramirez, Kevin Rodriguez -Keepers: Daniel Villalta, Joshua Carlson -Coach’s take: With a Cardinal-leading 4-1-0 record after posting a 0-9 mark last year, the Eagles are the turnaround team of the region so far.

The difference? After only 26 players came out last season, coach Benji Kimble is back to his customary 90-player tryout and fully stocked JV team.

“Even though we took our lumps, they gained some valuable experience and I am seeing that pay off this year,” he said.

Eight players return from that tough season, including several top contributors.

One of just three seniors, captain Muhammad Dainkeh “controls the center of the pitch” with good possession and passing skills. Returner Kofi Acquah, a sophomore, has shown marked improvement.

Returners Anthony Melara-Ramirez and Kevin Rodriguez add depth in the midfield, while Juan Valladares Sanchez, Javier Lopez Escobar, and Jeffery Manzanares provide “athleticism that I lacked last season,” Kimble said.

In net, Daniel Villalta starts but is being challenged for minutes by Joshua Carlson, “a fantastic shot-stopper.”

Offensively, juniors Giovanni Garcilazo and Abdul Karama are back to put the ball in the net.

Garcilazo has a strong shot, while Karama is a

Kimble is aiming for a top-four finish in the district.

“There are no bad teams and no easy games,” he said. “Any team in this district can beat any other on a given night.”

SPORTS

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | April 14, 2022

FOREST PARK

-Coach/District: David Cresswell (4th year)/ Cardinal -Up front: Mikey Eberle, Eddy Ruiz, Jayden Ansah -Midfield and defense: Kahlil Somera, Connor Messick, Ben Colcombe, Garrett Mixon, Matt Woldemichael -Keepers: Nico Pinell -Coach’s take: A run at the region championship isn’t unrealistic for Forest Park (4-3-2) - nor would be a state tourney appearance.

So think coaches David Cresswell and Gabe Chirino, especially once they saw some of their newcomers perform.

“With only five returning varsity players, we looked into the future and added 10 underclassmen,” Chirino said. “All being a big part on the field, with seven being regulars in the starting 11.”

The Bruins’ offense is led by speedy sophomore Jayden Ansah, attack-minded senior Eddy Ruiz, and captain striker Mikey Eberle, a commit to Old Dominion University who has “the ability to beat any defender one-on-one,” Chirino said.

Eberle had five goals in the Bruins’ first five games, while Ansah put in four and Ruiz had a pair of tallies with three assists.

Junior center defensive midfielder Kahlil Somera “keeps the tempo steady” as the heart of FP’s midfield, while freshman Connor Messick is a versatile midfielder with a pair of goals to his credit.

With junior captain center-back Matt Woldemichael sidelined by injury until after spring break, communicative sophomore Ben Colcombe and versatile freshman Garrett Mixon have stood out defensively. They’re in front of agile junior keeper Nico Pinell, in his first year with Forest Park.

MANASSAS PARK

-Coach/District: Vinny Cipolla (3rd year)/Northwestern -Up front and midfield: Martin Souza, Anthony Medrano, Javier Campos-Argueta, Ruben Sanchez, Xander Arias, Henry Alvarez-Estrada, Elmer Nolasco Mendez, Shivan Sindi, Carlos Argueta Castillo -Defense: Steve Sanchez, Osmar Funes Machado, Josue Cuellar, Tony Trevino -Keepers: Yousef Aarbaoui, Gerson Navarro

PHOTO BY DARIN MORRELL

Forest Park’s Jordan Martinez (left) is a freshman, while Mikey Eberle (right) is a senior who’ll play at Old Dominion.

-Coach’s take: There’s a lot of promise on the Manassas Park roster. Coach Vinny Cipolla sees up-and-coming talent that could propel the Cougars (2-3-1) to a deep postseason run.

“We’ll be able to go 17 players deep in matches if we need to,” Cipolla said. “We have some good talent, it's a matter of getting matchtested.”

Sixteen of Cipolla’s varsity players are underclassmen, while just eight have previous varsity experience. The season began with five starters out with injury.

“On the positive side, the players filling in - including two freshmen are getting some valuable experience versus mainly 6A opponents,” the coach said.

Senior keeper Yousef Aarbaoui, a captain and Mary Baldwin University commit, took over the starting job halfway through last year and has racked up clean sheets since.

On defense, seniors Steve Sanchez and Osmar Funes Machado are anchors, flanked by juniors Tony Trevino and Josue Cuellar.

Returning is junior second-team

OSBOURN

Junior Noel Sotelo leads Osbourn with nine goals.

-Coach/District: Brandon Calandra (6th year)/ Cedar Run -Up front and midfield: Noel Sotelo, Daniel Ramirez, Brandon Loarte, Cooper Noseworthy -Defense: Luis Garcia, Cristian Lopez, Angel Rivas, Abdoulaye Kone, Romeo Ventura -Keepers: Armando Cervantes Martinez -Coach’s take: So far, so good. That’s how coach Brandon Calandra assesses his Eagles (5-0-2).

“I’ve been impressed with our ability to score while continuing to play strong defensively as a unit,” he said. “With that being said, there’s always room for improvement.”

The trio of Noel Sotelo, along with last year’s Cedar Run Player of the Year Daniel Ramirez and captain midfielder Brandon Loarte, lead the offense. Sotelo has nine goals while Ramirez and Loarte have four each.

Captain Cooper Noseworthy patrols midfield, and returners Luis Garcia, Cristian Lopez, and Angel Rivas man the defense, along with newcomers Abdoulaye Kone and Romeo Ventura.

all-region pick Anthony Medrano, along with scoring threats Martin Souza, a senior all-district selection, and sophomore Ruben Sanchez.

Elmer Nolasco Mendez is a returning forward.

“One of the biggest surprises has been the play of versatile freshman Javier Campos-Argueta, who has started and has played outside back, center-back, and striker,” Cipolla said.

Campos-Argueta leads the Cougars in goals with three.

“He’s going to be a special player.”

With a 5-0-2 mark in the Cardinal, the Osbourn Eagles are all smiles these days.

Through seven games, the Eagles have permitted four goals and earned three clean sheets.

“I believe we have a very special group of players. They’ve been together for a while since their playing days at the middle school under my other assistant coach Mike DeEmilio, who has done a great job prepping them to get to this level,” Calandra said. “They play for each other and the ‘O’ on their chest… I wouldn’t want to do it with any other group.”

PATRIOT

-Coach/District: Sarah Cureton (7th year)/Cedar Run -Up front and midfield: AJ Sheutz, Ismael Martinez, Maxwell Hall -Defense: Danny Spittles, Kelechi Eze -Keepers: Will Lash -Coach’s take: It’s been an up-anddown season so far for the Pioneers (4-3-1), who won three of their first four before going winless in three straight.

A 4-3 win over Champe righted Patriot’s ship before spring break.

“This team has an incredible chemistry and wants to be successful,” coach Sarah Cureton said. “The coaching staff and team have fantastic communication, which allows for player development.”

The offense is led by AJ Sheutz, Ismael Martinez, and Maxwell Hall three “fast-paced” players who “create incredible attacking opportunities.”

The Pioneers are backstopped by senior keeper Will Lash, who brings quick reactions to the position. In front of him are defensive standouts Danny Spittles and Kelechi Eze, who excel in winning balls out of the air.

“As always, our expectation is to battle for the district championship and advance into postseason play,” Cureton said.

Patriot “has an incredible chemistry and wants to be successful,” says coach Sarah Cureton.

-Coach/District: Nathan Nemerow (1st year)/ Cedar Run -Up front: Hamid Tokhi -Midfield and defense: Jordan Lorenzi -Keepers: Tyler Barton -Coach’s take: It’s Year One for the Cardinals’ program, and with an 0-7 mark, so far it shows.

“We know we are the David to everyone else’s Goliath right now, but that won’t last forever,”

coach Nathan Nemerow said. “As a first-year program, the ceiling is high.”

On a roster with no seniors and few juniors, impact players are already emerging. Sophomore center-back Jordan Lorenzi is an attacking midfielder and a vocal leader who can also be used in the defensive third.

The starting keeper is junior captain Tyler Barton, who’s capable of making “some big-time saves,” Nemerow said.

The offense is paced by freshman forward

Hamid Tokhi, who authored four goals in the Cardinals’ first five games.

“He is getting used to the bigger game, having primarily played futsal,” said Nemerow of Tokhi, who relocated to Virginia from Afghanistan last summer. “Hamid’s work-rate is second to none.”

The coach says in Year Two the Cardinals’ roster will look more like their rivals. “We want to end this season with a lot of positive momentum, as far as our team culture goes,” Nemerow said.

WOODBRIDGE

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY ERNESTO MARQUEZ

Woodbridge is youth-oriented with just seven seniors out of 27 players. First-year coach Ernesto Marquez says that’s a great sign for the future.

-Coach: Ernesto Marquez (1st year)/Cardinal -Up front: Andres Fuentes-Ramos, Blest Dumbuya, Jeffrey Villatoro, Kierian O'Connor, Adam Amara -Midfield and defense: Leonardo Vasquez, Nico Maldonado, Enzo Flores -Keepers: Christian Cordova, Alejandro FuentesRamos -Coach’s take: Coach Ernesto Marquez takes over at his alma mater bent on returning Woodbridge (4-3-1) to prominence.

“We only have seven seniors out of 27 players, but a big pool of underclassmen who we are hoping to rely on and build for the future,” said Marquez, a 2005 Woodbridge graduate.

Boy soccer assistant coaches Fredy Contreras and Edwin Cruz are also Viking alums.

Woodbridge’s strength is its forward line, led by senior Andres Fuentes-Ramos (two goals, two assists). Marquez considers him among the top talents in the Cardinal District.

Juniors Jeffrey Villatoro and Blest Dumbuya are strong goal-scoring forwards, with Villatoro owning three goals already.

The trio of sophomore Leonardo Vasquez and juniors Nico Maldonado and Enzo Flores hold down midfield.

“All three are technically superb,” Marquez said. “Good players on possession, good tactical awareness, and good presence in the midfield.”

The defense must improve, the coach admits.

But the keeper spot is in good hands with junior Christian Cordova and freshman Alejandro Fuentes-Ramos splitting time.

“As my first year at Woodbridge, we are looking at this season as a rebuilding year,” Marquez said.

“We are looking to turn things around from past years and get Woodbridge back to winning ways.”

Jeanne Lavonne Doenges February 12, 1949 – April 2, 2022 Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God!” Jeanne Lavonne Doenges, age 73, of Warrenton, Virginia passed away on Saturday, April 2, 2022.

Jeanne was born in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, and raised in Mount Union, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Robert Richard and Helen Viola (nee Atherton) Wagner. She attended public school in Mount Union, and then in Glen Burnie, Maryland after her family’s move due to her father’s reassignment by his employer. Jeanne graduated from Glen Burnie High School and then Anne Arundel Community College, both in Maryland.

In November 1969, in Glen Burnie, Maryland, Jeanne married George Robert (Bob) Doenges, Jr.. Jeanne and Bob resided in Vienna, Virginia for 16 years near Bob’s employment in McLean, Virginia. While living in Vienna, Jeanne and Bob were blessed with the birth of their three daughters. Jeanne loved nature; while living in Vienna, Jeanne and Bob and their daughters seized every opportunity to get away to the mountains and many other beautiful, less crowded places. In 1985, Jeanne and Bob moved their family to Warrenton, Virginia to be closer to God’s beautiful nature. While living in both Vienna and Warrenton, and prior to all three of their daughters being in K-12 schooling, Jeanne provided child care and early preschool education to several young children. Once all three daughters were in school, Jeanne was employed in teaching at Saint James Episcopal School in Warrenton, and then in teaching for 17 years at four elementary schools in the Fauquier County (Virginia) Public School system.

They were Central ES, Bradley ES, Ritchie ES and Brumfield ES. During her teaching career, Jeanne focused on Kindergarten and Preschool Special Education classes. When the first of Jeanne and Bob’s four grandchildren was born, Jeanne relinquished her employment in order to focus her love on her grandchildren, together with a return to providing child care and early preschool education to several young children. It was nearly impossible to go somewhere with her that she wasn’t cheerfully greeted by former students – “Miss Jeanne! Miss Jeanne!”. Jeanne and Bob celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary in November of 2021.

A lifelong lover of nature, Jeanne spent many joyous times on day trips and in cabins in the mountains with her daughters and family, making wonderful memories. Jeanne loved looking out of her windows and from her porches at every opportunity watching the birds, butterflies, deer, waterfowl and occasional bear, foxes and raccoons, and in the evenings, stargazing. She took comfort in the natural world and instilled a great love of nature in her children and grandchildren. Jeanne was an accomplished pianist, a dabbler in poetry, a lover of the written word and a dedicated Christian.

Known as “Mom”,” Mamie” and “Miss Jeanne”, Jeanne always put others first her entire life. She provided comfort and solace to all while asking so little in return. She was a dedicated, kind, loving lady. God had blessed Jeanne with extraordinary gifts that equipped her and sustained her, as it seemed that she constantly went many extra miles to love, care for, and serve others – regardless of her own situation. Jeanne had a very special place in her heart for children, no matter where she encountered them – her own children and grandchildren, children in her home Churches, children in her employment venues, or, for example, children in need who were total strangers to Jeanne, whom she encountered in unexpected venues and situations. Jeanne unselfishly shared her love and care with many adults to celebrate with them and to help them through the tough times.

Jeanne was a very loving, active and serving member of Wesley United Methodist Church in Vienna, Warrenton United Methodist Church in Warrenton, and Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Warrenton. At Church worship services and other activities, Jeanne took the initiative to be welcoming to all, especially the children, helping them to feel comfortable and safe. She spread the word of what she loved about church to friends and strangers alike.

Jeanne was predeceased by her mother Helen Viola Wagner, and her brother, Robert Richard Wagner, Jr. Jeanne leaves to cherish her memory: her father Robert Richard Wagner of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania; her devoted husband George Robert (Bob) Doenges, Jr. of Warrenton, Virginia; her daughters Rachael Elizabeth (and Terry) Walls of Ruckersville, Virginia, Amanda Leah (and Brian Porter) Baker of Amissville, Virginia, and Eliza Blessing (and Bruce) Stocking of Broad Run, Virginia; grandson Max Cameron Baker of Herndon, Virginia, granddaughters Shiloh Brooke Thompson and Sage Scarlet Thompson of Ruckersville, Virginia, and grandson Jacob Allan Stocking of Broad Run, Virginia; her sister Deborah Ann (and David) Wylie of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and nieces Kathryn Rebecca Wylie, Jenny Elizabeth Wylie-Carlin, and Stephanie Erika Gregory; and many loving relatives and friends.

Funeral services were held for Jeanne Lavonne Doenges of Warrenton, Virginia on April 7, 2022 at Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Warrenton, Virginia, with interment at Mount Union Cemetery in Mount Union, Pennsylvania on April 9, 2022.

A reception will follow at the Warrenton Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. We hope that you will join us.

In lieu of memorial contributions, Dorothy believed that everyone should save their money and keep a rainy day fund. As you save, please think of Dorothy.

Barbara Ann Billhimer Plummer Collyer Barbara Ann Billhimer Plummer Collyer, 84 of New Baltimore, VA died on April 4, 2022 at Fauquier Hospital.

Barbara was born January 3, 1938 in Washington, DC and lived in Falls Church, VA until moving to New Baltimore in 1976. She retired from Fairfax County Public Schools on February 1, 1993 as Coordinator of Payroll after 27 years.

She was a ceramic teacher and after she retired, she became very active in volunteering with Senior Citizens and Head Start Kids. Before moving to New Baltimore, she was active in the Jefferson Volunteer Fire Department and Vienna Volunteer Fire Dept. Ladies Auxiliary. She was a Life Member of the Mason Neck Lions Club. Barbara was very active with the Lions Mobile Sight and Hearing Screening Vans, and was the van scheduler for twelve years. Barbara and her late husband, Doc, worked as a team in Lions service for over 35 years until his death on Jan. 6, 2015. They were married for 48 1⁄2 years.

Barbara was an active member of the Bethel United Methodist Church where she sang in the choir, was a past President of the women’s group and was active in Bible study. Barbara loved to read and donated over 2000 books to start a library in Rural Retreat, VA. Barbara married David N. Collyer on March 25, 2017. She and David were longtime friends through the Lions Sigh & Hearing Vans where they met in 2004 when he became a driver working for Doc Plummer. Later when Doc could no longer handle the job because of illness, Dave took over the job.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her brother, Jack W. Billhimer, Jr. of Palm Coast, FL; her nephew, Jack W. “Woody” Billhimer, III of San Mateo, FL; her great nephew, Dakota W. Billhimer of Front Royal, VA and her great niece Jackie N. Lamb of Front Royal.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Bethel United Methodist Church Mission Fund, 6903 Blantyre Rd., Warrenton, VA 20187.
