Local hospital visits for firearm injuries rise in Prince William By Abby Zimmardi
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
The number of visits to Prince William County hospital emergency departments for treatment of firearm injuries rose about 70% from 2017 to 2021, mirroring statewide trends. Hospital emergency visits for firearms injuries were up 68% across Virginia during the same time period, according to new data recently released by the Virginia Department of Health. The VDH released a new dashboard June 30 that shows hospital emergency department visits due to firearm injuries by year, age group, sex and race/ethnicity from 2016 to May 2022. The data is further broken down by health district. Prince William County’s three hospitals have had a total of 347 emergency department visits due to firearm injuries since 2016. Local hospitals saw 67 visits for firearms injuries in 2016 and then saw the annual number drop to 41 in 2017, a decline of 39%. The numbers remained stable – between 40 and 45 visits each year – from 2017 to 2019. But hospital emergency department visits for firearm injuries rose to 62 in 2020 and then to 70 in 2021, annual increases of 55% and 13%, respectively. PHOTOS BY DOUG STROUD

‘It brings the community together’
Dumfries OKs gun buyback ordinance
Events would be administered by town police
Hundreds turn out for the Dale City Independence Day Parade
By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer
The parade was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic and was a bit smaller in 2021. It was back in full force this year, however, with nearly 100 entrants – a mix of churches, community groups, volunteer fire departments, veterans groups, local businesses, scouting troops, youth sports clubs, elected officials and candidates on the ballot this coming November.
The Dumfries Town Council on Tuesday night set up the framework to hold firearm buyback events in the town, administered by its police department. The Local Firearm Buyback Program ordinance passed the council with a 6-1 vote on July 5 following a public hearing during which two residents spoke against it. In Virginia, law enforcement agencies have the authority to accept unwanted firearms.

For the Withers family, the Dale City Independence Day Parade is a tradition. That’s why Kyonna Henry, a 2005 graduate of Gar-Field High School who now lives in North Carolina, returned to Dale Boulevard Monday morning with her mom, her sister and her 4-year-old daughter, Saniyah. “We were visiting grandma, so we had to come out” for the parade, Kyonna Henry said. “This is always an annual tradition for us.” Hundreds of people decked in red, white and blue lined Dale Boulevard on Monday, July 4, to watch the parade make its way down Dale City’s main thoroughfare. Now in its 52nd year, the Dale City Independence Day Parade is one of the largest in the commonwealth.

Local hospital visits for firearm injuries rise in Prince William INJURIES, from page 1 Prince William County also had one of the highest rates of firearm injuries in Northern Virginia since 2016, with 3.4 emergency department visits for firearm injuries per 10,000 visits. Comparatively, Fairfax County had a rate of 2, while Loudoun County’s was 1.5. Across the state, the Richmond Health District had the highest rate of firearm injuries per 10,000 emergency department visits with 16.5. In nearby Rappahannock Rapidan Health District, which includes Fauquier County, the rate of firearm injury-related emergency department visits was slightly higher than Prince William County’s at 4. Still, emergency department visits for firearms injuries in the RRHD actually fell by about 15% from 2016 to 2021, bucking the statewide trend. The counties that make up the district, which include Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange, saw a total of 27 emergency department visits for firearms
injuries in 2016. The number rose to 35 in 2019, a 40% increase from the previous year’s total of 25. The number of emergency department visits for firearms injuries have since leveled off to 27 and 23 in 2020 and 2021, respectively, according to VDH data.
Black residents, young men disproportionately affected
In Prince William County, Black residents and men in their early 20s accounted for disproportionately high numbers of hospital emergency department visits for firearm injuries, the VDH data show. Men between the ages of 20 to 24 accounted for 87 such hospital visits over the past six years, or about 25% of the total. Black residents accounted for 169 hospital emergency department visits for firearms injuries or 49%. Black residents make up about 22% of the county’s population. Among local women, 25- to 34-year-olds had the highest number of emergency department visits for
Dumfries OKs gun buyback ordinance BUYBACK, from page 1 “The reason for the ordinance is, if you are ever going to do an event where you incentivize people to bring back unwanted firearms, you have to make changes to the [Town] Code with an ordinance to do that,” said Dumfries Town Manager Keith Rogers Jr. in an interview Tuesday morning. The town does not yet have a buyback event scheduled. It does not plan to use town funds to incentivize people to turn in their guns. Instead, the town could partner with an organization such as a nonprofit to provide the incentives for a buyback, Rogers said. The incentives could be anything from a monetary gift or a gift certificate to a restaurant to an onsite breakfast, for example. The term buyback is in the ordinance to coincide with the state code, Rogers said. “We are not purchasing firearms back,” he said. “We didn’t intend to be prescriptive at all in what our future plans are going to be with the language of the ordinance,” he said. “This is required to give us the authority to be able to have any type of event where people will be incentivized.” “This ordinance aims to create a tool and mechanism for a program and community event for engagement and awareness,” Dumfries Vice

firearm injuries with 10 since 2016. Nearly every age group – from 10to 14-year-olds to 55- to 64-year-olds – had at least five people who visited the emergency department because of a firearm injury over the last six years. No age group was spared a firearm injury, however; there were between one and four emergency department visits among children ages 9 and under and among those age 65 and older. The exact counts below five were not published to protect patients’ privacy.
The dashboard
Meredith Davis, an enhanced surveillance epidemiologist for the VDH, said the goal of making the data publicly available is to reduce the number of people injured by firearms. “Understanding the scope of the problem is the first step toward achieving this goal, but of course it is just the beginning,” Davis said in an email. The dashboard shows data up through May 2022, and VDH work-
Mayor Monae Nickerson said in an email. She and Councilwoman Selonia Miles sponsored the ordinance. “Programs like this primarily offer an opportunity for our residents to connect with our town and the police department. This is a proactive step in the right direction,” Nickerson said. “At the same time, others may not see the value in this effort. Taking guns out of homes where the owner no longer wants or uses them and giving people an incentive to take guns out of circulation decreases the chances of them being used for criminal activity.” Councilwoman Cydny Neville voted against the ordinance. Before the public hearing, she expressed concern over whether individuals could turn over guns anonymously. Town Attorney Sharon Pandak said since such an event has yet to occur, “I cannot tell you, at this point, if it will be anonymous or not.” Neville also said she had concerns about the record-keeping process and the police department’s time spent implementing a program. Ebony Lofton, a candidate for mayor, was one of the two residents who spoke during the public hearing. She questioned the use of the town police department’s time on a buyback program. “It’s like this ordinance is attempting to chase an issue that really doesn’t exists in the town,” she said, while noting other places, such as Rich-
ers update the data on the 15th of each month to show the most recent complete month. “More timely data allows community groups, hospitals and healthcare providers, law enforcement and public health professionals to better understand the current scope of the problem and respond appropriately,” Davis said. In the next year, Davis said the dashboard will include data on firearm-related hospitalizations and deaths. “The hospitalization and death data will be valuable to understand intent of injury (e.g., assault-related, intentional self-harm, unintentional), which is not available in the ED data at this time,” she said. An annual report from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner at VDH lists firearm-related deaths, but this is the first time the VDH released emergency department visits due to firearm injuries.

mond, Portsmouth, Washington, D.C. and Chicago, have issues with gun violence. Lofton said she has read studies that show buybacks or incentives don’t reduce crime or the number of guns. “There are so many other areas of our town that need more help,” she said. The ordinance, which follows state code, says collected firearms would be destroyed “unless the person surrendering the firearm requests in writing that the firearm be offered for sale by public auction or sealed bids to a person licensed as a dealer.” Resident Jay Hart pointed out a buyback program could attract historic and valuable guns that could be sold to collectors like himself. Hart said he has lived in the area for 12 years. “We don’t have a lot of murders in this area,” he said. “I’m not sure what problem you are trying to solve.” Mayor Derrick Wood said he has seen conflicting reports about whether buybacks reduce crime “but, doing nothing – nothing changes.” “We can’t control what they do on the federal level. We can’t control what they do on the state level, but what we have the ability to do as elected leaders is to do what we can do in the town of Dumfries and the ability to lead the way,” Wood said.

4 shot outside Manassas-area car wash By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Four young men were shot late Sunday night during an informal “car meet” gathering in the parking lot of a Manassas-area car wash. As of Monday, all four remained hospitalized with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, and police were still searching for suspects. Officers were called to Sam’s Car Wash, located at 8129 Sudley Road in Manassas, at about 11:51 p.m. Sunday, July 3 to investigate the shooting. They determined the shooting occurred during a car meet, an informal event during which people with modified cars gather to socialize. An argument ensued and escalated into gunfire, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County Police Department spokesman.
Multiple gunshots were fired before the gathering dispersed. Upon arriving at the scene, officers located evidence of a shooting and found one of the wounded men in the area of Nimitz Court and Fairmount Avenue. Two more gunshot victims were driven to an area hospital, also suffering from gunshot wounds, Perok said in a news release. Officers arrived at the hospital and determined the two men were present at the shooting. A fourth adult male was also later identified as being at the location at the time of the shooting and had been shot, the release said. Three of the men were flown to an area trauma center, while the fourth man was ground transported. The men range in age from 23 to 26, the release said. Anyone with information about the shooting is
Ga. man arrested after rape at Manassas hotel A 22-year-old Georgia man remains behind bars after police arrested him Thursday in connection with the rape of a female guest staying at a Manassas hotel, according to Prince William County police. Officers arrived at the Red Roof Inn, located at 10610 Automotive Drive in Manassas, at 1:09 a.m. on Wednesday, June 29, to investigate a sexual assault that occurred after a 35-year-old woman who was staying at the hotel was approached by a man who was not known to her but asked to use the restroom in her hotel room. The woman was outside a room at the hotel when the encounter occurred, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. The two entered the woman’s hotel room, and while inside the room, the man held her down and grabbed her neck before sexually assaulting her. After the assault, the man then left the room, Carr said in
a news release. The victim contacted an acquaintance who notified the police. The victim was treated at a local hospital. During the investigation, detectives with the Prince William County Police Department’s Special Victims Bureau identified the suspect and determined he was also staying at the Red Roof Inn. When police arrived at the hotel on Thursday, June 30, to arrest the man, he attempted to run away and allegedly refused to follow the officers’ commands. After a brief struggle, the man was taken into custody. Following the investigation, Freddie Usiel Miranda, 22, of Willacoochee, Georgia, was arrested and charged with rape and obstruction of justice in connection with the incident. He was being held without bond at the Prince William Manassas Adult Detention Center pending a court hearing, the release said.

Woodbridge man charged in fatal shooting Police have identified the victim found dead early Friday in a wooded area off U.S. 1 in Woodbridge and have arrested and charged a local man, 26, with murder in connection with her death. Claudia Beatriz Morataya, 46, of no fixed address, died early Friday, June 1, from gunshot wounds. Police found her lying in a wooded area in the 13900 block of U.S. 1 at about 4:28 a.m. The homicide is Prince William County’s eighth of the year, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County Police Department spokeswoman. Police could not initially identify the woman but received information from an acquaintance of Morataya’s who led them to the suspect. On Saturday, July 2, detectives located and arrested the suspect, identified as Isaiah Gershon McGriff, 26, of 1408 Bayside Ave. in Woodbridge, Carr said in a Sunday, July 3 news release. The investigation revealed McGriff and Morataya were arguing in the area when the Morataya walked into the nearby wooded area, and McGriff allegedly followed her and
brandished a firearm. Morataya was then fatally shot, and McGriff fled the area. A bystander contacted the police, Carr said in the news release. A search warrant was served McGriff’s home, and a firearm believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered, the release said. McGriff was arrested and charged with second degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with the incident. He was being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center on Sunday, July 3, the release said.

Police: 2 arrested after racist, anti-LGBTQ graffiti found at Signal Hill Park Two 19-year-old women have been arrested and charged in connection with anti-LGBTQ and racist graffiti left on several pieces of playground equipment at Signal Hill Park. Police are still looking for a third suspect, a 24-year-old man, who remains at large, according to Capt. Frank Winston, of the Manassas Park police. The spray-painted markings were first discovered by residents on the morning of Wednesday, June 29. The vandalism included references to the Ku Klux Klan, a racial slur and the phrase “Don’t be gay. It’s a sin,” according to photos of the damage posted to Twitter. Nearly every piece of equipment in the playground was damaged with paint, which was not able to be removed. Manassas Park staff have covered the markings with brown paint for now, Manassas
Park City Manager Laszlo Palko said in a July 1 interview with the Prince William Times. “I don’t want anything remaining from what these people did,” Palko said. Palko said in a Facebook post after the incident that “Manassas Park is a safe and welcoming community for all LGBTQ residents as demonstrated by the Governing Body’s June Pride Month Proclamation and Pride Flag raising.” “I think it’s because of who we are, that they were targeting us,” Palko said Friday. “It is because we are so welcoming and diverse and want everyone to live in peace that these people came here to directly target our way of life. And it’s very upsetting.” Manassas Park police posted pictures of the suspects taken with security cameras at a local store. Evidence found at the park, including
a receipt, linked the suspects to the photos, Winston said. On July 1, the police department announced that warrants for arrest had been issued for James Henry Stanley, 24, of Chester, Virginia; Kaitlin Joseph Gorman, 19, of Branchville, New Jersey; and Rose Michaela Kerrigan, 19, of Gainesville, Virginia. All three face felony destruction of property charges as well as misdemeanors for trespassing, entering a property to commit damage and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to Winston. Kerrigan and Gorman turned themselves in to the police, Winston said, adding that the Manassas Park police are working with local police in Chester to locate Stanley. See GRAFFITI, page 5

‘It brings the community together’ INDEPENDENCE DAY, from page 1 Marchers were led by the Prince William County Police and Sheriff’s Honor Guard and Grand Marshall Vanessa Gattis, head of the Prince William County Community Foundation. Several members of the Sikh Center of Virginia walked the parade route offering cold water bottles to participants and spectators, alike. The group bought 3,400 water bottles and about 120 pounds of ice for the parade, said Davinder Singh, a local businessman and member of the group. “This is part of doing service to the community. That’s why we deliver cold water [at the parade] every year,” he said. Friends Desirae Loiseau, 11, and Jayden Jackson, 10, both rising sixth graders at Heritage Christian School in Woodbridge, said they come to the parade for the free candy and to see friends. “I love that they show respect to the military people. My mom was a Marine,” Desirae added. “But it’s really just fun – period. I get to hang out with my friends!” Making people happy as they celebrate the country’s birthday is what the parade is all about, said Dale City Parade Committee Chairwoman Ernestine Jenkins, who has led the event for 48 years. “It’s just exciting to me because everybody is just excited and happy,” she said. “The Fourth of July is like no other holiday. It brings the community together.” Jenkins said the parade has long been a labor of love for herself and her late husband, John Jenkins, who served as the Neabsco District supervisor for 37 years before his death in February 2019. Ernestine said she especially misses her husband on July 4th because he so enjoyed the parade. “He loved this day because he loved Dale City, and he loved the parade,” she said. The parade has grown over the years and is now sponsored by a dozen different local organizations, including the American Legion, the Dale City Lions Club, the Dale City Volunteer Fire Department, the Woodbridge Elks Lodge, the Dale City Moose Lodge, the Dale City Knights of Columbus and the Boys and Girls Club. Jenkins said people sometimes ask her how long she will continue to lead the parade, since she has been at the helm of the event for so long. She says she tells them she’ll stay involved as long as she can. “I love Dale City, and I love the parade,” she said. “I want to do it until I can’t do it because I love this community.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

The contents of a typical box of food given away at some Prince William Public Libraries via the Northern Virginia Food Rescue
Food boxes available at some county libraries Northern Virginia Food Rescue, the local nonprofit known for its efforts to reduce food waste and feed hungry residents, is launching a new program this summer to distribute food at some Prince William Public Libraries. Beginning July 1, the food was handed out at the Lake Ridge Library, located at 2239 Old Bridge Road in the Tackett’s Mill shopping center, from noon to 2 p.m. The event is the first of five planned through the end of August. All are drive-through, run from noon to 2 p.m., and residents do not have to sign any paperwork or show an identification card to receive food. The food is pre-boxed and will be available on a first-come, firstserved basis, according to a Prince William County press release. “With these times of rising costs, many families in Prince William County have to choose between paying their bills and eating,” NVFR Prince William Region Partner Relations Coordinator John Wooten said in a news release. “The food we’re able to provide through this program may relieve some of the economic stressors these families are currently facing.” Families with children who depend on meals at school also need food while school is out. “Since schools are closed for the summer, those families are especially vulnerable this time of year,” Wooten said. “This is a new program, and word is still getting out,” Wooten said. GRAFFITI, from page 3 “We want to pursue this case. The people should be responsible for the damage that was done,” Palko said.

At our first distribution event at Dale City Library, more people began coming to the library throughout the day to collect food. To me, this is an indication that there is a need for something like this in the county.” In addition to helping individuals and their families, effective outpatient addiction treatment reduces pressure on the criminal justice system and local hospitals.

Last week, however, the city council passed a budget for fiscal year 2023 that includes $80,000 for new playground equipment. The new equipment is scheduled to be ordered this summer, Palko said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
All aboard the Prince William Digital Gateway Express The Free Dictionary defines the term “railroading” as “to force the passage or acceptance of something, especially legislation, by an authoritative body with such haste and pressure that the standard considerations of its implications are avoided or ignored.” That’s an accurate description of what’s happening as Prince William County officials relentlessly shove innumerable data centers down our throats. The mother of all downhill-bound locomotives is the atrocious Prince William Digital Gateway. Over the past eight months, opponents of this proposal have laid more than enough fact-based evidence on the tracks to derail it. We asked our county government to consider the detrimental effects on a national park and a state forest, increased traffic and the inevitable resurrection of the dreaded Bi-County Parkway, health effects of the incompatible placement
of a huge industrial development adjacent to residential communities, the fleeting “sugar high” of depreciating tax revenues, hazards to the Occoquan River watershed and reservoir and negation of regional climate change goals. And on and on and on. Not only did none of that matter, those raising legitimate issues were treated as an annoyance. Input from community engagement meetings was summarily ignored and these events treated as tiresome checkpoints on the road to inevitability. Citizens poured out their souls at supervisors’ meetings, while elected officials fiddled with their phones. Riding in this train’s club car are the wealthy developers and landowners who engineered this lucrative boondoggle. Back in the cattle car are citizens of this county who are clearly being taken for a ride. BILL WRIGHT Gainesville
County board is neglecting its due diligence before major land-use decisions I was horrified to learn that the officials from Fairfax Water, Virginia Tech’s Occoquan Watershed Monitoring Lab, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and Northern Virginia Regional Commission were kept waiting in the lobby outside the Board of County Supervisors’ chambers for six to seven hours prior to their presentation on water quality and supply in Prince William County. They were gracious in thanking you for the invitation, despite having to stand by at your pleasure for an unconscionable amount of time. This appeared to be a deliberate move by the Chair who should have control of the agenda. The Occoquan Reservoir is the drinking water for Fairfax and Prince William. The Occoquan Watershed Model is a tool for studying
the chemical impacts on water quality in the reservoir. The OWM currently focuses on nitrogen and phosphorus. Salt in drinking water is a relatively recent concern. Salt levels in the Occoquan Reservoir have been increasing. The Occoquan Watershed Model presenter, Norm Goulet, stated that although OWM does not currently address salt, it could be calibrated to do so. No further inquiry or request was made by the board. The county staff recognizes that a water study is clearly a prudent measure before approving the major zoning change like the Prince William Digital Gateway proposed along Pageland Lane. Why have these and other environmental issues been ignored by the board? HEIDI WHITESEL Gainesville

A reminder to care for our country on the Fourth On the Fourth of July, people light fireworks across the sky. But Independence Day is a lot more than just going to the fireworks shows at midnight. We celebrate Independence Day because of the struggles America went through. The Holy Prophet Muhammad once said: “Love for one’s country is part of faith.” If you live in a home, you would do your best to make it comfortable and beautiful. Your country is also kind of your home. You have your rights and duties, and you would want to have the country
where your home is as clean, safe and beautiful as possible. Covid-19 ruined all the fun of Independence Day for the last two years. All I could do was go to my windowpane and enjoy the fireworks in our neighborhood that we sometimes could hear but we couldn’t see. This year, I hope I can join in the Independence Day parade. As you buy fireworks, I hope we can keep wishing the best for our country and have a happy Fourth of July! SARMED AHMAD, 10 Manassas

The many twists, turns of the Occoquan Reservoir Over the past 100 years, it’s provided both electricity and drinking water while averting an environmental disaster. Can it handle what’s next? By Martin Jeter
Contributing Writer
The name Occoquan, meaning “at the end of the water,” comes from the Indians who lived along it for many generations. The river was at the center of their lives, providing food, transportation, drinking water, recreation and more for hundreds of years. The Occoquan Reservoir has been through lots of changes in its history, including being part of the first system in the country to turn sewage into drinking water. Many Prince William residents take part in the “closed system,” meaning the water they drink from the reservoir comes in part from water treated after being flushed down their toilets. The reservoir has had three dams built on it over the years. The first was constructed by Lt. Col. Fred Butterfield Ryons to generate power. Ryons served in World War I as a military engineer and also saw a tour of duty in Panama on the Panama Canal project. This likely provided him with valuable experience for his Occoquan Hydro Electric Company, which built the dam and owned the reservoir and the land bordering the reservoir. The old hydropower dam, now mostly underwater, is about a half-mile upstream from Fairfax County’s Fountainhead Park boat launch. Construction of the dam and power-generating equipment began in 1928 and was completed in 1935. The dam’s construction provided badly needed employment and income for a significant number of area residents. The property acquisition agreement Ryons struck with the landowners along the reservoir allowed the residents to remain on the land for life. Ryons built a home for his family and cottages for his daughters near the dam. He operated the power company until his death in 1946 at the age of 69. In 1947, Alexandria Water Company, another private entity, acquired the Occoquan Hydro Electric Company’s property. They then created the Occoquan Reservoir to provide drinking water for the City of Alexandria. They had been using Lake Barcroft in Falls Church since 1915 to supply the City of Alexandria, but the supply was no longer adequate for the fast-growing postWWII population. Lake Barcroft was sold for the

Near the town of Occoquan, downriver from the reservoir, the river has become a popular spot for kayakers and stand-up paddle boards. eventual development of 1,000 homes in 1950. Alexandria Water built two dams near the Town of Occoquan to create the reservoir; one was built in 1950, the other in 1957. The 50-foot dam constructed in 1950 impounded 55 million gallons, and the 1957 dam was 70 feet high and impounded about 10 billion gallons. That’s a lot more water for 20 feet! By the 1950s, the Fairfax County Government needed more water for its bourgeoning population. After forming the Fairfax County Water Authority, it acquired the Annandale Water Company in 1959. In 1967, the water authority decided it needed the extra capacity of the Occoquan Reservoir, so it notified Alexandria Water that it intended to acquire the reservoir. The problem was, Alexandria Water didn’t want to sell its successful operation. Fairfax County resorted to eminent domain and acquired the land and facilities for the almost $50 million price set by a court during a legal proceeding. The land along the reservoir was eventually sold to the Occoquan Land Development Company, but the two counties differed on developing
About the Occoquan Reservoir
The Occoquan Reservoir is 14 miles long and has a maximum depth of 65 feet and a mean depth of 16.7 feet. It takes about 20 days for water to travel the length of the reservoir. Its watershed is 570 square miles, which includes parts of Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William counties. It holds about 8.3 billion gallons of water and serves as a source of drinking water for 800,000 residents of Prince William and Fairfax counties. Source: Northern Virginia Regional Commission. land around the reservoir. Fairfax County mostly preserved its side as parkland and large residential lots, while Prince William developed its side with a mix of housing types. Once Fairfax Water owned the reservoir, it had a big problem to deal with: pollution. There were 11 sewage treatment plants in the watershed area of the reservoir, and high levels of nitrogen and phosphorous in their outflows resulted in cyanobacteria at high levels. Cyanobacteria are microscopic organisms that use up the oxygen in the water. This was a huge problem because it caused oxygen levels in the reservoir to drop so low that life was almost unsustainable. It was becoming a dead lake. The problem was so severe that the state had to step in. The General Assembly adopted the Occoquan Policy in 1971, which set very strict effluent limits from sewage treatment plants, restricted the number of treatment plants to three and established a monitoring program for pollutants. This was before passage of either the federal Clean Water Act or the State Water Control Laws, so the law was quite innovative for its time. The regulations resulted in the creation of the Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority (UOSA) and the establishment of one high-quality treatment plant to replace all older facilities. See OCCOQUAN, page 10

The many twists, turns of the Occoquan Reservoir OCCOQUAN, from page 8 The Occoquan Policy resulted in huge improvements to the Occoquan, but problems remain. The reservoir continues to be “eutrophic,” or overly enriched with nitrogen and phosphorous. Land-clearing for development and other erosion continues to result in sedimentation issues that reduce the reservoir’s capacity and transport various pollutants into the reservoir. More recently, sodium, or salt, infiltration has become a growing problem, particularly since salt is particularly expensive to treat. For that reason, most sodium passes directly into the reservoir. Sodium comes from many sources, including winter road treatments, fabric softeners, detergents, human waste, industrial cooling systems (such as data centers), manufacturing, etc. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has declaredthe levels of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) in fish tissue in the reservoir to be unacceptably high, so fish consumption isn’t recommended. PCBs are a group of synthetic organic chemicals that can cause a number of different harmful effects. PCBs were used widely as coolants and lubricants in transformers, capacitors and oth-
er electrical equipment. Consumer products that may contain PCBs include old fluorescent lighting fixtures, older electrical devices or appliances containing PCB capacitors and old hydraulic oil. The Occoquan Reservoir has served Prince William County well, first by providing electric power and later drinking water to the community. It has always provided wildlife habitat, environmental benefits, recreational opportunities and, just as importantly, a place of natural beauty for all to enjoy. It’s also been environmentally challenged almost from the beginning and that challenge continues. Conditions are improved, but citizens will have work to do to address the various ongoing issues, including those listed above and others. Everyone need to channel Col. Ryons’ spirit or that of the designers of the Occoquan Policy to develop new solutions to deal with the issues of today. To quote an old proverb: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” Sources: Occoquan Reservoir (virginiaplaces.org), Mid-County History - Mid County Civic Association Of Prince William (midcopw. net), Chiefs of the Army Reserve, the Integrated Report | Virginia DEQ, Annandale Water Company - Fractured Fairfax

Accubid Concrete is 19-3 and one of the top teams in the PWSSA.
Hicklin moved to Prince William in 1977 and started playing softball in church leagues. He joined the PWSSA in 1995 and has “enjoyed it ever since.” “I get a lot out of it,” Hicklin said. “What I’ve enjoyed more than anything is the chance to play teams from all over the world.” He recalled experiences playing against senior teams from Japan, Korea, and elsewhere at past International Senior Softball Association events hosted at Prince William County Stadium. “We played teams from all over the world. Those guys were serious.” The PWSSA is divided into a three-team Division 1 and a seven-team Division 2, with “younger, more proficient players” in Division 1, said White, noting that many of those Division i guys
play also in competitive travel leagues. “They’re just as competitive [in Division 2], just maybe not the same ability anymore,” White said. The PWSSA’s summer season concludes with a “position night” near the end of July to determine the final standings. White and Hicklin work closely with the County. White said he’d like to see light standards installed on more local fields, in order to attract tournaments that are now hosted in Richmond and Hampton Roads. “We try to do whatever we can to help the furtherance of softball in Prince William. We believe that softball has been and continues to increase in the County, and it’s a really nice recreational activity,” White said. “It helps the old guys stay in shape.”

OBITUARIES Joseph Lawrence Judd
Ronald Keith Sanders
Gainesville, VA
Ronald Keith Sanders, 87, was called home by our Lord on December 21, 2021. He passed away at his Haymarket home after a short but courageous battle with lung cancer. His wife of 45 years, Ruth, was by his side. He was gracefully supported by his 4 children and Vitas Healthcare Hospice A Memorial Service will be held 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 16, 2022 St Michael’s Anglican Church (meeting at Greenwich Presbyterian) 15305 Vint Hill Rd Nokesville VA 20181. Ron was born in southern Illinois September 1, 1934. As a youth he moved to Chicago where he had many adventures including boxing for the CYO and quarterback of his high school football team. Upon graduation he joined the Army and served in the Korean War as a demolition specialist. After leaving military service he returned to Chicago for college where he received a bachelor’s degree. After his education, he served in many roles through the years but felt the most significant was in 1980 when, joined by partners, he established We Print, Inc in Fairfax VA. While it was a business, it was also Ron’s way of providing a ministry and he touched many lives with it. In time he became the sole proprietor and successfully headed the company for 25 years. Ron always said the We Print staff was the best anyone could hope for! In 2007 Ron joined Impact Publications as business administrator and worked for the owner, Ronald Krannich, until he retired in October of 2021. He loved using his diverse skills and working with a fabulous team including Ron, Paul and Mardie and Carol! Ron was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather and brother. He had many interests, but most important was his love of God through Jesus Christ. He had a giving heart and was always ready to share words of wisdom and support with all he came in contact with. He was known to many as “Mr. Fixit” as he could fix just about anything! Along with family and friends, Ron loved the outdoors and spent many fishing adventures catching fish throughout his life. He loved the peacefulness of God’s nature and could “listen to God” through the stillness of a lake or pond. He loved sunrises and sunsets, wildlife (many pictures of deer on his phone), and the views from Bull Run Mountain where he resided. Most of all Ron felt life had purpose and was happiest at work using the skills that God had breathed into him. He told many “I looked and didn’t find retirement in the Bible!”. Ron was preceded in death by his father, Raymond, his mother, Naomi Francis Montanya, his brothers and sister-in-laws: Raymond Jr, Harold (Blanca “Dorie”), Ralph, Ora (Agnes) and Howard (Nancy), and sisters Rosemary, Velda and Melda, beloved granddaughter Lucy, nephew Harold “Bud” Sanders and brother-in-laws Robert and Larry Hastings. Along with wife Ruth, Ron is survived by cherished family & friends: mother-in-law Marylyn Hastings, sons; Ronald II (Sue), Steven, Mark (Kyung Hee), daughter Sharon “Princess” Yarson, grandsons Patrick Sanders and his son Beckham & Ronald Sanders III, granddaughters, Julie Sanders, Amanda & Micaela Yarson, nieces and nephews including Pat Sanders, Celia (Gary) May; Harold “Pancho”(Leida) Sanders, Debbie (Rod) Wood, Terri (Paul) Conley; Jodie (JR) Evans, Tammy (Mike) Overby, Scott Sanders, Marjorie (Dave) Swanson, and the Hastings clan: brotherin-laws Tim (Rosemary), Casey (Valerie), sister-in-law Susan, nephews and nieces; Timothy II, Melissa (Quinn) Brown, Alex, Amy, Kenneth, Heather & Nicole (Alex) Colley, many great nieces and nephews, one loved as a granddaughter, Rebecca Karnecki, Marylyn’s caregiver Luisa Cumbe, best neighbors ever: Keith and Judy Broyles, Michele Failla, Bill Harris, Joe Dannible, his beloved church family, and many others! Inurnment will be a private event at BrightView Cemetery Warrenton VA, by Moser Funeral Home.

Joseph Lawrence Judd was born to Sara Eleanor Martin and Nelson Thomas Judd in Williamsport, PA on September 29th, 1936, at the Williamsport Hospital. He was the youngest of five children. He was an active track and field athlete and player in Williamsport Little League Baseball and played in the Little League Series for two years. He was a hard working young man who mowed lawns and delivered newspapers (The Williamsport Grit) to raise money. He graduated in 1954 from Williamsport High School. He attended classes at Penn State University in State College, PA, majoring in Geology, until, in his junior year, he withdrew due to the birth of his first child in order to provide for his young family. He moved his family to Ellicott City, MD, in 1964. He started and ran a successful Manufacturers’ Representative business selling large industrial process equipment, Joe Judd Ltd., for 50 years out of his home office in Ellicott City that covered the Mid-Atlantic region. He would play cards and other games with his kids in his free time on breaks, especially after their school day. He was a very active, loving, and appreciated father, raising his family of five children there. He was active in the First Lutheran Evangelical Church, where he taught Sunday School classes, and the YMCA in Ellicott City, where he sat on the board and taught fitness classes. He regularly started up softball games on the front lawn, with the neighborhood kids joining in. Many still cherish those memories. With his second marriage, he moved to Jeffersonton, VA, Pensacola, FL, and then finally Gainesville, VA, where he resided until his passing. He traveled extensively in his retirement, visiting much of North America, Europe, China, and Taiwan among his many destinations. He had many friends and was well loved in the community for his friendly nature, story-telling skills, and quick wit. He was also a worthy opponent at chess games in Heritage Hunt. He was particularly close to Arthur Luna and his wife Dianne, as well as Mother Ed, Mother Superior Eirene and Mother Raphaela at the Paws A While Pet Motel in Warrenton, VA, where his beloved poodle/King Charles spaniel mix “Muffin” stayed on a regular basis. He often told people he met that he lived with his “eight year old girlfriend” when referring to Muffin. He mowed lawns and cleared snow from sidewalks and driveways in his neighborhood until a back injury forced him to retire at 82. From a young age, he loved opera and classical music, and later, folk music as a young adult. He loved to explain the arrangements and instruments in the various classical works. He enjoyed tennis, hiking, swimming, refinishing antiques, marathon running, and fly fishing in his adult years, and in his later years, fine woodworking done in his well-equipped home workshop. He favored the clean lines of Shaker and Mission style designs in his tables, clocks, jewelry, and tea boxes, among other projects. He is survived by his first wife, Alice Artley Judd, his children, Stephen Lawrence Kelly-Judd of Ellicott City, MD, Anna Sabrina Judd of Fredericksburg, VA, Tamara Marie Judd of Coombs, BC, Jessica Artley Judd, of Finksburg, MD; and Joshua Nelson Judd of Jessup, MD. His grandchildren are Kristin Monster Bonecrusher, Benjamin Joseph Atwater, Brandon Michael Botts, Alicyn JoAnn Fleischmann, Miranda Margaret Kelly Judd, Olivia Marlene Chung, Seth Joseph Judd, and Mariel Isabella Kelly Judd. His great grandchildren are Micah Joseph Atwater, Amelie Star Tschirn, Landyn Michael Botts, Olivia Nico Tschirn, Kayley Elizabeth Drake, Alexandra Michelle Botts, Coraline Josephine Botts, and his second wife, Rosa Huang. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff at both the UVA Haymarket Medical Center and Lake Manassas Health and Rehab for their kindness and care of our Dad during his and our time with them. We would also like to thank Art & Dianne Luna, Grace Kameu, and Mother Superior Eirene, Mother Ed, and Mother Raphaela from Paws A While for their kindness and friendship while visiting Dad in UVA Haymarket Medical Center and Lake Manassas Rehab. A Memorial Service/Celebration of his Life is planned for 1 pm on July 17, 2022 at the Heritage Hunt Marsh Mansion, 13451 Fieldstone Way, Gainesville. VA
