Va. 28 bypass blues

Manassas residents are on edge over the proposed Va. 28 bypass that would raze at least 58 houses, mobile homes By Jill Palermo

In the path of the Va. 28 bypass: This line of eight mobile homes along the north side of Jacobs Lane in the Bull Run Mobile Home Park in Manassas would have to be torn down or relocated if the proposed Va. 28 bypass is approved by both the Fairfax and Prince William County boards of supervisors next year.

Last weekend, Claudia Quinteros, her daughter and her parents were tending the yard outside their home in the 7500 block of Alleghany Road in Manassas. The flower bed in front of the house had a fresh layer of mulch, newly planted annuals and several rose bushes already flush with pink and red blooms. Quinteros said she and her family have lived in the home for about seven years. They like the neighborhood because it’s quiet, convenient and affordable. The house was built in 1964, when developers were still willing to build smaller single-family homes. Quinteros said her parents bought it in 2017, and seven family members, including Quinteros and her 6-year-old daughter, call it home. See BYPASS, page 4

The Manassas City Council passed a $452.6 million budget for fiscal year 2024 on Monday that cuts the real estate tax rate while providing raises for police officers, teachers and city workers. But the spending plan will also result in an average $181 increase in real estate tax bills for city homeowners next year. The council reduced the existing real estate tax rate by 6.5 cents from $1.135 to $1.07 per $100 in assessed value. It also reduced the

Tax bills rising in Manassas TAXES, from page 1 Despite the rate reduction, property owners can expect to pay more next year because of rising property values. The city saw a 10.8% assessment increase, which is the highest growth rate in more than a decade, “thanks to a strong economy,” according to budget documents. Under the new rates, residential real estate bills will rise by an average of 3.7%. That amounts to an annual increase of $181 on an average priced home. Non-residential property owners will see an average increase of 4.5% which equates to an increase of $977 in annual real estate tax bills. Because of the increased prop-

erty values, the budget anticipates an additional 4.3% in real estate tax revenue even with the decrease in the real estate tax rate. The new $1.26 tax rate is expected to result in real estate tax revenue growth of $3.2 million in the general fund and $340,000 in the fire and rescue fund. The budget includes no change to the city’s car tax rate. It will remain flat at $3.60 per $100 in assessed value. As for utilities, typical single-family homes can expect a $3.96 increase in their monthly utility bill due to a 4% increase in electric rates. Water and sewer rates, solid waste rates and stormwater management rates remain unchanged. The budget anticipates an overall increase in expenditures of 15%, including a 5.6% increase in local funding for school operations, and a 5% increase for services shared with

Prince William County, Manassas City Manager Pat Pate said during an interview on Tuesday. Under the new budget, city staff will receive a 5% raise, Pate said. The council also allocated an additional $1.5 million to fund increases in classroom pay at the Manassas City Public Schools, Pate said. The school division budget includes a 5% salary increase and a 1% retention bonus for school staff, Andy Hawkins, executive director of finance and operations at the school division said in an email. Hawkins also said starting teacher pay will increase next year for teachers with a bachelor’s degree from $52,135 to $54,742. The budget includes additional funds to make “market adjustments as necessary to maintain competitive salaries” in public safety staffing. The starting salary for a Manassas police officer is increasing from $53,289.60 to $59,654.40 on July 1 when the new budget goes into effect, according to Patty Prince, the communications director for Manassas City. The budget also includes $2 million for new police radios and $500,000 for replacement of a fire rescue medic unit and command vehicles. The council included funding for one-time expenditures to support council priorities. They include $6 million for economic development, $2 million to support affordable housing and $1 million for the resurfacing of neighborhood streets, Pate said. The budget funds a new position, a tax service specialist, in the commissioner of revenue’s office at a cost of $100,000. It also includes $100,000 in

funding for mental health services for public safety and city staff as well as employee training. During the Monday, May 8 meeting, the council passed three ordinances and three resolutions presented by finance director Diane Bergeron to formally adopt the 2024 budget. There were no surprises -the council had previously held several budget work sessions and two public hearings to make the economic decisions needed for the operation and administration of the city during fiscal year 2024, which begins July 1. Council member Theresa Coates Ellis (R) was the lone vote against the $1.26 tax rate, but she voted in favor of the budget, which passed unanimously. Ellis said she had advocated cutting the tax rate an additional 2 cents to an overall rate of $1.24 per $100 in assessed value, an amount she said would allow the city would allow the city to trim spending by $1.5 million. But she said the council was not in favor of the additional reduction. Speaking in favor of the $1.26 tax rate at the meeting, Vice Mayor Pamela Sebesky (D) said the council had listened to residents’ concerns and, in response, reduced the combined real estate tax and fire and rescue levy by 8 cents. “I feel like we have listened to the community, but we are still providing essential city services including funding for our schools (and) much needed raises for our city staff,” she said. “I believe that we have tried to be good stewards of the community.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com HOW TO REACH US

Local Dems endorse incumbents for school board But some newcomers may stay in the race By Jill Palermo and Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writers

The Prince William County Democratic Committee announced its endorsements in the school board race Friday, picking incumbent School Board Chair Babur Lateef, four of his fellow incumbents and two newcomers as its choices in the Nov. 7 election. But official party nod likely won’t keep some other Democrats from running. At least two have said they will remain on the ballot. Julia Biggins, a Democrat running for the at-large chair, announced she would drop out of the race on Monday, May 8. School board races are nonpartisan, and candidates do not need an endorsement from either political party to run. But as education issues become increasingly politicized, the endorsements help candidates connect with like-minded voters and can provide important financial and campaign support. On Thursday, May 4, the local Democratic Committee held an online vote involving about 300 members to select candidates for the Nov. 7 election. The process was more competitive and contentious than usual with two Democratic candidates for chairman at-large and more than one competing in the Woodbridge, Occoquan and Neabsco districts. The committee asked each candidate seeking its endorsement to sign a “memorandum of understanding” pledging they would drop out of the race if they didn’t receive the party’s endorsement. On Friday, May 5, the committee announced

School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef that Lateef received the endorsement along with fellow incumbent School Board representatives Adele Jackson (Brentsville), Justin Wilk (Potomac), Loree Williams (Woodbridge) and Lisa Zargarpur (Coles) as well as newcomers Tracy Blake, who is running in the Neabsco District, and Richard Jessie, who is running to fill the seat now held by his wife, Lillie Jessie, in the Occoquan District. Democrat Carmen Rodriguez, who was seeking the Democratic endorsement in the Occoquan District, said Friday she will drop out of the race because she signed she signed a “memorandum of understanding” with the party that said Democratic candidates must drop out if they do not get

the party’s endorsement. Rodrigues said she will “honor (her) commitment.” But at least two of the eight races will be crowded with more than one Democrat on the ballot. One of those also has a Republican-endorsed candidate. In the Woodbridge District, Williams, who is seeking a third full term, will likely appear on the ballot alongside Shantell Rock, a Democrat who declined to sign the MOU and therefore did not formally seek the endorsement. Jaylen Custis, also a Democrat, was disqualified from seeking the committee’s endorsement because he spoke before the local Moms for Liberty chapter in recent months. There are no Republican-endorsed candidates in the Woodbridge District school board race. In the Neabsco District, Blake will be on the ballot with Padreus Pratter, who said he declined to seek the Democratic endorsement because he was advised by the ethics division of the U.S. Department of Education, where he works, that doing so could violate the federal Hatch Act. Pratter described himself as “a lifelong Democrat” in an email he shared with the Prince William Times. Blake said he had no problem signing the MOU, noting it is important for Democrats to stick together to prevent Republican candidates from winning seats on the school board, which currently has a 7-1 Democratic majority. “It’s important that we toe the party line, and we don’t split the ticket,” Blake said. “This is how we’ve done it in the past. The only reason you wouldn’t like (signing the MOU) is if it’s going to go against you.” Michael Petko, a Republican-endorsed candidate, is also running in the Neabsco District school board seat.

Route 28 Bypass

MAP BY VINCENT SALES

The proposed routeRoute would extend Godwin Drive past 28 Bypass Sudley Road along an undeveloped easement. It then turns toward Alleghany Road, Albermarle Drive, Boundary Avenue and Jacobs Lane, requiring the razing of 50 homes and eight mobile homes. plan for the road, a 3.5-mile, four-lane roadway aimed at easing trips between Prince William and Fairfax counties. The road, estimated to cost at least $300 million, has been discussed since at least 2017 and would be the most impactful transportation project for Prince William County residents in decades. The design shows the bypass would extend Godwin Drive beyond its terminus with Sudley Road and then travel along an existing easement of undeveloped land between the West Gate of Lomond and Yorkshire Park neighborhoods alongside Flat Branch Creek. But the easement ends just prior to the Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority building and treatment plant on Compton Road, and that’s where the trouble for residents begins. To avoid the treatment plant, the bypass would turn onto Alleghany Road, taking out about 28 homes in the 7500 block. The road would then continue along Albemarle Road, taking out at least three homes, before turning onto Boundary Avenue, where it would raze about 16 homes in the 7400 block of Boundary Avenue, according to the draft plan. The road would continue into the Bull Run Mobile Home Park, taking out at least eight mobile homes along Jacobs Lane. The path would then take the road over Bull Run, via a new and taller bridge constructed on top of the existing one, and then through a portion of Fairfax County’s Bull Run Park before meeting up with Ordway Road and eventually connecting to the existing Va. 28 across the Fairfax County line. During a meeting at the Manassas Park Community Center that drew a crowd of about 200 people, Prince William County officials heard a litany of concerns about disturbing long-standing neighborhoods and displacing residents as well as wildlife. Many also wondered about the impacts to Flat Branch Creek and Bull Run and whether the road construction would improve or worsen flooding that happens there during heavy rains. Some speakers called the road “unnecessary” and “a waste of money.” Marcos Penaloza Perez, and his daughter, Fabiana, 13, who also live on Alleghany Road, spoke about the impacts to both area wildlife and longtime residents. “Our elected officials, they have neglected us.

Concerns about the Va. 28 bypass taking out at least 50 smaller, more affordable homes in the Loch Lomond area of Manassas – as well as eight mobile homes at the Bull Run Mobile Home Park – have been rising since April 20, when Prince William County officials released the first draft

Now, however, the family is in limbo because of the proposed Va. 28 bypass, which, if built, would raze their home and about 50 others along their block and two streets nearby -- Albemarle Road and Boundary Avenue – in the Loch Lomond area of Manassas. Quinteros said her neighbors have been talking about the bypass, but no one seems to know whether or when it will be built – or what they will do if it comes to fruition. “We know about the road, but we don’t know what’s going to happen to us,” she said. “We’re not going to be able to find another house like this for the same price.” “The prices have gone up, so where are we going to go?” she added. “We don’t know.” In nearby Bull Run mobile home park, residents are expressing similar anxiety and confusion about plans for the new road. Dale Garrigan said his fiancé, Penny Taylor, lives with her elderly aunt in a mobile home on Jacobs Lane, where a string of eight mobile homes would need to be moved to make way for the road, according to county planners. Garrigan said he works for a Virginia Department of Transportation contractor and had heard about the bypass but was hazy on the details. He, too, wasn’t clear on whether the bypass was happening or when. Garrigan said he would hate to see the road displace his fiancé and their neighbors, several of whom are families with small children. The residents keep the mobile home park clean and tidy. Several homes have well-kept small yards and carefully tended flower beds as well as decks and front-porch additions that would be nearly impossible to move. Children ride their bikes up and down the streets, and generally, it’s very quiet, Garrigan said. “Compared to average (priced homes), this is very affordable housing for everyone here, so why would they want to put a highway through here?” Garrigan asked. “It’s going to cost at least $4,000 to move these trailers, and then, where are you going to put them?” As is the case in most mobile home parks, residents own or lease the trailers and pay a monthly ground rent to the mobile home park. The rent in Bull Run Mobile Home Park is about $900 a month, Garrigan said. “I would hate for them (to build the road) because eventually, I would have to figure out a way to move my fiancé and her aunt someplace else, and I don’t know how I would do that,” he said.

Claudia Quinteros and her 6-year-old daughter, Camilla, outside their home on the 7500 block of Alleghany Road. The house is one of more than 50 that would need to be razed for the proposed Va. 28 bypass. They have not talked to us about this, and you say you are moving forward,” Penaloza Perez said in Spanish, which was translated by an interpreter. “Frankly, I am not happy with this project. My family has been raised here. We’ve been here for 15 years.” Prince William County Transportation Director Ric Canizales, county planners and county contractors working on the project said the meeting was planned to alert residents as soon as possible about the road’s path. Preliminary surveying, traffic analysis and other work has been done over the past year to come up with “the least impactful route” for the bypass, Canizales said. The aim of the meetings was to hear from the residents and to get their suggestions. The hope is that the plan might be tweaked even further to avoid more homes based on the residents’ feedback, Canizales said. Once the final route is determined, which is expected to happen in about a year, the route will go back to the public for another set of meetings. After that, both the Fairfax and Prince William County boards of supervisors will have to approve the final route, Canizales said. The bypass route will also need approval from both the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and the Army Corps of Engineers because of the wetlands it will traverse. County officials have been consulting with the Army Corps since the supervisors approved the bypass in principle in 2020, and they believe they have a route that will eventually be approved, Canizales said. If all goes to plan, the county will begin talking with landowners about acquiring their properties in 2025, and construction could begin in 2026. In the meantime, however, both county boards will be up for reelection as well as the entire Virginia General Assembly. The bypass has not yet become a major election-year issue, but that could change in the coming months. Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, ran on a platform of “fixing” Va. 28, but has long opposed the bypass because of the impacts on residents. While a member of the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, Roem voted against funding the bypass twice. The project has, however, received about $100 million from the NVTA, and Prince William County voters overwhelmingly approved another $200 million in road bonds for the project in 2019. Full funding for the bypass, however, has not yet been identified or acquired, Canizales said. Roem, who is now running for the Virginia state Senate seat that would represent the area, said she will do what she can to fight its construction. Roem said she believes more should be done to study alternatives. “There will not be an area to relocate these mobile homes,” Roem said during the meeting. “This is one of the last areas of affordable houses people have.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

Money from data centers, unions fuel county supervisor races By Anya Sczerzenie

-- $11,250—from real estate and construction. Murphy received three donations of $2,500, including one from Fatima Abdallah, who operates Oasis Birth Doula, a midwifery service that serves the Northern Virginia area. Rental and property management company Awana Operating Co. donated $2,500 as well, as did Manassas-based Nationwide Management Corporation. Most of his remaining donations were from individuals.

Times Staff Writer

As in the hotly contested race for Prince William County chair, money from labor unions, data center developers and landowners trying to sell their properties to data centers are playing an outsized role in fundraising in the supervisors’ races, particularly among Democratic incumbents. Notably, Ken Knarr, a Republican candidate for county chair, donated $900 to the board’s five Democratic incumbents during the first quarter of 2023, according to campaign finance reports compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project. Knarr is a landowner in the Prince William Digital Gateway planning area and is challenging Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, in the June 20 primary for the GOP nomination in the chair’s race. Knarr had already donated about $9,000 to Prince William County’s five Democratic supervisors since 2022, which is one reason a group of local Republican leaders have publicly criticized his campaign.

Challenger Nate Murphy outraises Victor Angry in Neabsco

In the heavily Democratic Neabsco District, where no Republicans candidates have yet entered the race, Democrat Nate Murphy raised more money than incumbent Supervisor Victor Angry during the first three months of 2023. Murphy is a Hylton High School teacher and coach who is challenging Angry in the June 20 primary. Murphy raised $27,286 between Jan. 1 and March 31, while Angry raised $20,865. Also, Murphy had $11,358 left in the bank as of March 31, while Angry had $4,431, according to campaign finance reports. Angry’s top donor was the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a union that has voiced support for the PW Digital Gateway and often donates to candidates who support it. The electricians’ union gave Angry $5,000. The Nova Building Association, a labor union that represents construction workers, gave Angry $2,500. Angry received $1,250 from Mike Granville-Smith of Classic Concepts Builders, which received a rezoning from the supervisors to build single-family homes on smaller lots in the county’s rural crescent, where development had been limited to one home per 10 acres. Angry also received about $3,000 from landowners with ties to data center projects in Prince William County. Angry received $1,000 from Mike Garcia, a homebuilder who owns land in the PW Digital Gateway corridor, as well as $1,000 from Bettie Compton, who has proposed a new data center next to Manassas Mall. Angry also received about $1,000 from PW Digital Gateway landowners, including $200 from Knarr and smaller donations from six others, according to campaign finance reports.

Bailey outraises Short in the Potomac District

In the Potomac District, Supervisor Andrea Bailey raised $34,361 in the first quarter of 2023, while her Democratic opponent, Kim Short, raised $3,541. Bailey’s largest donor was state Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, of Woodbridge, who contributed $5,000, and the Nova Building Industry Association, which gave $2,500. Bailey received about $7,000 from donors with ties to data center development, including $2,500 from a “Coalition for a Brighter PWC,” a political action committee formed by Mike Grossman, a PW Digital Gateway landowner. Grossman owns a home and 10 acres in Trappers Ridge Court, where he and his eight neighbors have signed contracts to sell their land to Compass data centers as part of the Digital Gateway project, according to the project’s rezoning application. Bailey also received $1,000 donations from Robin Garcia, a PW Digital Gateway landowner, and about $1,900 collectively from other landowners in the proposed data center corridor, including $200 from Knarr. Bailey had $48,559 left in her campaign fund as of March 31, which inlcudes money left over from previous campaigns. Short had $18,998 in her coffers, mostly left over from money she raised after announcing her candidacy in 2022. Short donated $526 to her own campaign. Her next-highest donors were Rene Fry, former Potomac District planning commissioner, and Kasmyne Pender, who is affiliated with the U.S. military according to VPAP. Short is also a veteran, having retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel. Short also received a donation of $450 from Carla Anderson, who works for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, according to campaign finance reports. Short received the most donations from public employees, according to VPAP, while Bailey has received the most donations from real estate and construction.

Coles, Brentsville campaigns start slowly

Only one candidate, Republican Tom Gordy, has so far filed a campaign finance report in the Brentsville District supervisor’s race. Gordy, the Brentsville District planning commissioner, is facing newcomer Jim Gehlsen, a Democrat, in the race to replace Lawson. See SUPERVISORS, page 7

Students will walk through the detectors when entering school buildings, which can be set at multiple levels of sensitivity. At higher levels of sensitivity, the system can detect vapes and smaller weapons such as knives, while at lower levels the detectors can detect guns and explosives. The system typically does not hit on more common items, however, such as cell phones or keys. Some staff members will monitor the detectors at the beginning of each school day, and those that do will receive a stipend for coming to work early. All entry points with detectors will be monitored at the beginning of the day as students and staff enter the building. But only the main entrance to the school will be monitored throughout the day, school officials said. All school board members spoke favorably about the system at the Wednesday, May 3 meeting. “This is the next evolution of school security,” said Potomac District Representative Justin Wilk. “It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a further deterrent and provides more protection.” Brentsville Representative Adele Jackson said that although some constituents expressed con-

“root causes” of violence in schools. “The common causes of increased weapon-carrying in schools are drugs, bullying—or being the victim of bullying—and mental health factors,” Lateef said. “Society has failed in managing these things.” The Evolv system will be leased to the school division for a four-year period at a cost of about $10.7 million dollars. In total, the county will lease 81 Evolv detectors to be used in 35 schools. High schools will each receive five detectors, including one to use at football games, while middle schools will receive two. All the detectors are portable and can plug into existing electrical outlets. The Evolv systems have been installed in sports venues and museums, including the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. They have also shown success in other school districts throughout the country. The school division first introduced the Evolv system during a series of public forums, both in-person and virtual, over the past three months. The school division also surveyed parents and teachers about the system, which showed widespread support for adding them to schools, according to Superintendent LaTanya McDade.

Local Dems endorse incumbents for school board ENDORSEMENTS, from page 3

Teachers’ union, Dems’ endorsements clash

Biggins, a mother of four and an infectious disease scientist from Manassas, said the endorsement she received from the Prince William Education Association’s political action committee weighed heavily on her decision about whether she would stay in the race. Biggins signed the Prince William Democratic Committee’s MOU, which called on candidates to drop out of the school board race if they did not receive the Democratic endorsement or risk having to leave the party until the next “reorganization.” Biggins said she got into the race for school board chair because she disagreed with some of Lateef’s decisions during the pandemic. Biggins publicly complained about a tweet Lateef issued in August 2022, a few days before the start of the new school year, that was critical of public health decisions to close schools. Lateef removed the tweet after a torrent of criticism, saying it was “inaccurate.” At the time, Biggins responded to Lateef with a tweet of her own, stating: “What a slap on the face to teachers, [public health] officials and health care workers. We all got it right. He got it 100% wrong. Time to find an opponent for him.” Biggins said she’d spent a lot of time talking to teachers since announcing her candidacy. “A lot of my campaign was bringing to the surface what’s actually happening with the teachers,” Big-

“It’s important that we toe the party line and that we don’t split the ticket. This is how we’ve done it in the past.” TRACEY BLAKE, school board candidate in the Neabsco District

gins told the Prince William Times. “I mean, yes, they have collective bargaining, but the school board made it a lot harder for them. … I feel the school board is not even aware of what’s happening in the classroom. So, it’s really hard to have (the teachers’) support and then walk away from them.” Still, Biggins announced Monday she would leave the race to consolidate the Democratic vote around Lateef. “It is far more important to elect Democrats in November” than to stay in the race and risk electing a Republican school board chair, she wrote in an open letter to the Prince William County Democratic Committee. Lateef, for his part, defended his work for teachers, noting that the school board has raised teacher pay by about 25% since he took office in 2018. In an interview Wednesday, Lateef also commented on his controversial tweet saying: “If that’s

the worst thing they can find to say about me, I’ll own that.” In a statement announcing his Democratic endorsement, Lateef noted that Forbes magazine ranked Prince William County Schools “a great place to work” and that the school division had risen in the Niche ratings. He also thanked Biggins for her candidacy, saying that she brought forth “important issues” that must be addressed.

PWEA endorses Rock

The PWEA PACE also endorsed Rock in the Woodbridge District race, another nod that differed from that of the Democratic committee. Rock said the teachers’ endorsement – as well as one she received from the local chapter of Moms Demand Action – were major factors in her decision not to seek the Democratic endorsement. Rock said she did not want to sign the committee’s MOU because doing so would have required her to drop out of the race if she did not receive it.

Loree Williams Woodbridge

Rock also said she did not think the endorsement process was fair because it “gave the incumbents the advantage” and leaves out the wider community. “Maybe these nonpartisan races should be done like everything else,” Rock said, referring to the June 20 state-run primary. “Let the people decide.” In the other magisterial districts, the decisions were less contentious because only one Democrat sought their party’s endorsement. In the Brentsville District, Jackson will vie for a second term against Republican-endorsed candidate Erica Treddnick. In the Coles District, Zargarpur is seeking a second term against Republican-endorsed candidate, Stephen Spiker. In the Occoquan District, Jessie will be seeking his first term against Republican-endorsed candidate, Ryan Kirkpatrick. In the Potomac District, Wilk is seeking a third term against Republican-endorsed candidate Mario Beckles. The Democrats do not yet have an endorsed candidate to challenge Gainesville District Representative Jen Wall, a Republican who has won her party’s endorsement to seek a second term.

Vega’s Democratic challenger, Idris Jibowu-O’Connor, collected $7,741 in campaign donations as of March 31. Jibowu-O’Connor’s largest donor was Karl Becke, a defense contractor from Manassas, who gave $1,500. He also received $1,000 donations from Occoquan Supervisor Kenny Boddye (D) and the Baltimore-Washington Construction & Public Employees Laborers PAC. The PAC pools contributions from labor unions in the region and donates them to candidates. As of March 31, O’Connor had $6,463 left in his campaign account.

Franklin, Boddye outraise challengers

In the Woodbridge District, incum-

bent Margaret Franklin, a Democrat, has no primary challenger but will face Republican Jeannie LaCroix in the November general election. Franklin has so far raised $29,819 in 2023 on top of the more than $40,000 she had left over from previous years. As of March 31, Franklin had $66,910 left in her account compared to LaCroix’s $11,995. Franklin’s largest donor was Torian, who donated $8,249 to her campaign. She also received $2,500 from the Nova Building Industry Association and $3,900 from realtor Jefferson Marumsco. LaCroix has so far raised $13,385 in 2023 and listed two $1,000 donations each from William Akers, of Akers Fire Protection, and Robert

Norris, a retired Woodbridge resident. She also received an in-kind donation of $513 from the Electric Palm Restaurant in Woodbridge. In the Occoquan District, Supervisor Kenny Boddye, a Democrat, raised $20,898 in 2023 with his largest donations coming from Torian, who gave $5,000, and $2,500 from Coalition for a Brighter PWC, the PAC tied to PW Digital Gateway landowners. Boddye had $56,037 left in his campaign fund as of March 31. Republican Karla Justice has announced her campaign for the Occoquan supervisor’s seat but did not do so in time to file a first-quarter campaign finance report.

POLICE BRIEFS Woodbridge man, 38, dies after being struck by a car near Potomac Shores A 38-year-old Woodbridge man was killed Monday night when he was hit by a car while walking along Potomac Shores Parkway near Potomac Shores, according to police. Prince William County police responded to the intersection of Potomac Shores Parkway and River Heritage Boulevard at 11:09 p.m. on Monday, May 8, to investigate a crash involving a pedestrian. They arrived to find that the driver of a 2010 Lexus R35, driven by a 29-year-old Woodbridge woman, was traveling south on Potomac Shores Parkway when the vehicle struck the man, who was in the roadway, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. The man, later identified as Abdul Bubu Kamara Jr., 38, of Woodbridge, was pronounced dead at the scene by fire and rescue personnel.

Police: Middle School student charged with bringing a loaded gun to school

The driver of the striking vehicle remained at the scene, Carr said in a news release. Kamara Jr. is the fourth pedestrian so far to die after being struck by a vehicle on Prince William County roadways in 2023, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman. At the time of the crash, Kamara was wearing dark-colored clothing and was not walking within a crosswalk. Additionally, the area of the roadway was not illuminated. Speed, alcohol or drug use were not factors in the collision, the release said. The Prince William County crash investigation unit is asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to contact the Prince William County Police Department tipline at 703-792-7000 or to submit a web tip to: pwcva.gov/policetip.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested for possession of a loaded firearm at school after he allegedly displayed a handgun inside a classroom at Fred Lynn Middle School, according to police. On Tuesday, May 2, at around 1:20 p.m., Fred Lynn Middle School’s school resource officer located a student who displayed a gun in a classroom, according to reports from school staff. The student resisted when school staff attempted to detain him, and the school resource officer stepped in to assist the staff. The student was detained after a “brief struggle” and searched. The gun was found in the student’s possession, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. The student was arrested and charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds, carrying of an un lawfully loaded firearm and possession of a firearm by a juvenile. He is currently being held at the Prince William County Juvenile Detention Center, the release said.

School board names county’s newest elementary school ‘Innovation Elementary’ SCHOOL, from page 2 Adele Jackson, the school board representative from the Brentsville District, where the school is located, said the name suggests a strong connection to science and arts that she hopes will be present in the new school. “It will encourage students to be innovative from the very start of their education,” Jackson said. The new school is on Crestwood Drive off Ashton Avenue in the Prince William County area of Manassas. It’s about three miles from Innovation Park, which is located along Prince William Parkway between University Boulevard and Va. 28.

The school board held two virtual community sessions in March to ask for possible names. They also collected name submissions online and by phone. In total, there were 49 suggested names, but most received only one vote. The second most popular suggestion was for the school to keep the name Rosemount Lewis, which was suggested by 15 people. Some other suggested names include Barack Obama Elementary School, which received the third most suggestions with six, as well as Ashton Elementary, Crestwood Elementary, Liberty Elementary, Stonewall Jackson Elementary and Encanto Elementary.

There were also suggestions to name the school after former Prince William County schools superintendent Steven Walts and slain Prince William County police officer Ashley Guindon, who was killed during a domestic dispute in 2016.

ble to veer off the paved paths. One detour will lead you down to Bull Run Creek and the historic railroad trestle. In springtime, there’s the added bonus of walking along the Bull Run and seeing a profusion of blue bells along the path. Another short detour takes you up a hill to a natural “Stonehenge” with rocks sticking up from a small promontory. My bets are that it must have served as an ideal lookout during the Civil War. (Not more than a half mile away from Blooms Park and tucked in a subdivision is a grave site for buried Georgia soldiers and Camp Carondelet, an encampment for Southern troops during the Civil War battles around Manassas.) So, if you’re up for a short escape from our crowded suburban roads and are hankering for a nature break, or like me, training for a Grand Canyon hike, venture a few miles to Blooms Park. You’ll enjoy the change in scenery and, at the same time, enjoy a nice cardio workout.

Mosawer Baig converted two penalty kicks, the last in the closing moments, as Gar-Field won the Cardinal District boys soccer regular season title by defeating Forest Park 2-1. Gar-Field (10-2-3 overall, 8-22) is the No. 1 seed in the upcoming district and Region B tournaments. Forest Park is 8-3-2 and 7-3-1.

WESTLEY’S BIG HIT HELPS SHARKS IMPROVE TO 18-1 Another impressive Colgan baseball squad looks primed for run at Class 6 title

Get a hit,” Westley said. “The whole game, I’m just trying to smoke a ball into the gap in right center, not trying to do too much.” Colgan coach Mike Colangelo viewed the non-district win as a healthy tuneup to the upcoming postseason. The immensely talented and experienced Sharks (18-1 overall, 11-0 district) will be the No.1 seed in the Cardinal District tournament, which starts May 15. “We haven’t been in many of these games. That’s why I put these guys on my schedule late. They’re a well-coached team, but they’re gritty,” Colangelo said. “So, I think that challenge is going to help us hopefully three weeks from now.” A former major league outfielder for the Angels, Padres and Athletics, Colangelo is hungry to win a state

my horses. Matthew Wesley’s got 33 innings, Brett Renfrow’s mid 20s right now. If you’re a number one pitcher in high school, you’re usually in the mid 30s. So, we’ve done that purposefully,” he said. The two senior hurlers have been the Sharks’ unquestioned lynchpins. Both are Virginia Tech recruits with gaudy numbers. Colangelo said Westley has an ERA around 0.50 with Renfrow at 1.20. Both average about two strikeouts an inning. “Both of those guys are my aces. It’s really a 1A and a 1A. Both of those guys are the ones that we’re going to lean on in the playoffs,” said Colangelo. The pair can also rake. Playing second base when not on the mound, Westley bats third and has been Colgan’s “best hitter since day one to now,” while centerfielder Renfrow was named first team all-state in 2022. Senior catcher Jae’dan Carter is another first team all-state returnee

who bats leadoff, while first baseman Caden Colangelo and shortstop Julius Bagnerise have swung the bat well lately too. With 10 seniors on the roster and seven in the starting lineup, the Sharks’ senior class has been utterly dominant throughout their four years at Colgan. With their freshman season cancelled by COVID-19, the group has a 58-4 record in three seasons and have won the last two Cardinal District and Class 6 Region B titles. In 2021, the Sharks went 15-1 and beat Battlefield to win their first regional title and advance to their first state tournament where they fell to James Madison 2-1 in the finals. Last year Colgan went 25-2 and defeated Freedom (South Riding), the eventual state champion, to win their second regional title, but lost to Herndon 2-1 in the state semifinals. “There haven’t been many teams in Prince William County baseball that’s gone back-to-back district champs and regional champs. And I think that’s a testament to these guys finishing the job. When it matters, whether it’s the fourth inning or the first inning, we usually get that big hit,” said Colangelo. To make another run at a state title, they’ll have to get through talented Cedar Run District squads in the regional tournament first. “Patriot, Battlefield and Freedom are very, very good and they’re more tested than we are this year. They’ve had a better schedule, which is out of my of control. All I can do is just keep preparing these guys and then when that day comes, you just pray that you end up on top,” Colangelo said.

Westley wins it with a walk-off

Westley started Monday’s tilt against Mountain View. The righty struck out six in three shutout innings as Colgan built a 4-0 lead. The Sharks took a 1-0 lead in the second when third baseman Christian Abney singled to left and came around to score on a McMillian grounder. The lead grew to 4-0 in the third as Westley, Tyler Bassett and Caden Colangelo all scored on throwing errors. In the fourth, Mountain View scored two runs on three walks and two hits to close to 4-2. See BASEBALL, page 15

Veteran Sharks plan deep postseason run BASEBALL, from page 14 The Sharks made it 5-2 in the bottom of the fourth when Carter singled home Marsden Zajac, then 6-2 in the bottom of the sixth when Abney crushed a 320foot home run down the left field line, nearly hitting the scoreboard. But Colgan couldn’t seal the win in top of the seventh as Mountain View scored four runs on four infield hits and two wild pitches to make it 6-6. Colgan didn’t score in the bottom of the seventh, sending the game to extra innings. Following a quick eighth inning with just one hit by either side, Carter pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to give the Sharks a chance to walk it off. McMillian was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, then Carter and Bagnerise walked to load the bases with no outs for Westley. After watching two balls go by, Westley launched an outside fastball high in the air to right that nearly cleared the fence, driving in McMillian to give the Sharks the 7-6 walk-off win. In the end, the powerful Sharks had pulled out a win that they might remember heading into the postseason. Said Westley, “We just got to play our game. Stay within ourselves, not try to do too much and pick each other up, pass the bat from one person to the other.” “It can’t be a one-man team, a two-man team. It’s got to be all 14 guys that we have on the field.”

Stephen E. Garmon April 21, 1942 Groom, TX - April 25, 2023 Marshall, VA Stephen E. Garmon, April 21, 1942 Groom, TX - April 25, 2023 Marshall, VA Son of Ora Lea and Walter “Cookie” Garmon Devoted husband of 54 years to the love of his life Ann Patton Garmon Doting father of Stephanie (Bryan Sims), Ashleigh (Matt Cahir) and Caroline Proud grandfather of Henry Stephen, Phoebe, Stephen Ryder, and Allison Steve is survived by brothers Mike, John, Bob and Randy Garmon he was preceded in death by Joel, Wanna Sue, and Carol Ann Garmon Steve Garmon, 81, after battling cancer, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his wife and daughters. A self-described “Regular Guy”, Steve was the rock of his family, a loving husband and attentive father. Steve’s wife, Ann, and his daughters were his life’s joy. From meager beginnings in the tiny town of Groom, Texas, Steve went on to live a worldly life, never forgetting or denying his roots. His innate grit and determination carried Steve far and earned him innumerable accolades on the football field and on the job, all of which he accepted with gratitude and humility. He earned a full ride football scholarship to Texas Christian University where he was named All Southwest Conference Guard in 1963 and 1964. He was TCU’s Most Valuable Player in 1963, inducted into the TCU Football Hall of Fame in 2006 and listed on the all-decade team of the 1960’s by Texas Football Magazine. Steve served 25 years in the U.S. Secret Service under six Presidents. He began his career in 1965 as a special agent in the New Orleans Field Office. He quickly advanced to supervisory positions including the Foreign Dignitary Protective Division and the Presidential Protective Division. In 1982 Steve was promoted to Executive Assistant to the Director. He became Assistant Director of the Office of Administration in 1984 and in 1985 Assistant Director of the Office of Protective Operations. In 1987 Steve was appointed Deputy Director of the U.S. Secret Service. Several major historical protective assignments were conducted under his leadership including the Presidential Campaign of 1988, which was then the biggest campaign endeavor ever undertaken by the U.S. Secret Service. Under his guidance, the Service established a task group responsible for increasing recruitment of people of color, women and ensuring equality in the work force. Steve retired from the U.S. Secret Service in 1990 as Deputy Director. He ended 36 years of public service as the Assistant Inspector General for Investigations at the U.S. Department of Commerce. Steve was soft-spoken with a gentle nature, a subtle wit and sarcastic sense of humor. Always self-deprecating, he downplayed his inherent abilities attributing most of his achievements to simple luck. Steve selflessly dedicated his life to family. He lead his children by humble example and loved them unconditionally. Steve was patient, generous with his time and energy; showing up to coach or applaud at every game and recital, always prioritizing his girls. He ceaselessly gave of himself to his daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren. He cherished 54 years of marriage to his beautiful wife Ann, respectfully and adoringly by her side. Steve lived his life honestly, finding joy in the kind of regular guy work others regard as burdensome. His house and surrounding property were his labor of love, where together with Ann, they built a home full of laughter, beauty and abundant love. In his retirement, Steve dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the task of lawn mowing, elevating a seemingly monotonous chore to a zen art form where no blade of grass grew unnoticed. Steve against the lawn was a Battle Royale, wherein he was a one man army soldiering on, man vs grass, never surrendering and somehow making peace with his short lived victories until it was time to mow again and again and again. The word regular is synonymous with normal, commonplace and typical. To those that knew and loved Steve, he was anything but regular.He lived an extraordinary life according to his regular guy motto “do good things and good things will come to you.” Steve is deeply loved and admired by many. He will be sorely missed. A celebration of Steve’s life will be held in June.

Garmon to support cancer research and patient care at: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute,P.O. Box 849168, Boston, MA 02284, or via dana-farber.org/gift.

Jim’s colleagues often remarked on his work ethic, integrity, trust in others, extreme generosity and knack for creating stability for his employees.

Beyond his fondness for golf, Jim was a loving husband, father and step-father, and proud grandparent and great-grandparent. Jim will be remembered for his perseverance, sage advice and impeccable comedic timing. He quietly inspired excellence in those he was close to, and he was instrumental in the success of many others. He left behind a legacy of love, hard work, and the importance of taking care of family. He will be terribly missed.

The purpose of the project is to realign Prince William Parkway and Old Bridge Road to meet at a T-intersection. The improvements include realigning and straightening Prince William Parkway, improving left and right turn movements, and realigning Old Bridge to intersect with Prince William Parkway as a side street. Prince William Parkway’s realignment will be the primary thru movements with features including 12-foot lanes, a variable width raised median, a 5-foot sidewalk along the eastbound lanes, and a 10-foot shared use path (SUP) along the westbound lanes. Old Bridge Road’s realignment will be the secondary movement with features including 12-foot lanes, a 4-foot raised median, and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. The project includes access management, turn lanes, intersection improvements, and a signal modification at the main T-intersection. A service road will be provided along the eastbound lanes of Prince William Parkway to reduce driveway entrances. The total project length is approximately 3,400 linear feet.
