Alleged shooter’s release prompts police union to endorse Lowery Ashworth says she opposed judge’s decision to let teen suspect out of jail By Cher Muzyk
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County’s police union is endorsing Matt Lowery, the Republican challenger for commonwealth’s attorney in the Nov. 7 election, citing concerns about incumbent Amy Ashworth’s decision to dismiss charges in a high-profile fatal shooting earlier this year involving a teen suspect who later shot at a police detective. Ashworth, 52, a Democrat, is seeking a second term as the county’s top prosecutor. Her opponent

Prince William schools show slight improvement on state tests 7 schools not fully accredited By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer
Newly released results on Virginia Standards of Learning tests local students took last spring show a slight improvement in passing rates, but some schools are still lagging behind — especially in science. According to results released on Sept. 7, Prince William County students achieved pass rates of 75% in reading, 71% in writing, 71% in math, 70% in social studies and 66% in science on state standard-

ized tests taken near the end of the 2022-23 school year. The county outscored the state average in every subject except science, where the state’s average passing rate was slightly higher at 67%. Passing rates were up three percentage points in math since the 2021-22 school year, while the county’s passing rate on science tests improved by four percentage points among Prince William County students. Superintendent LaTanya McDade attributed the uptick to the county’s focus on “STEM” subjects — science, technology, engineering and math — over the past year. See SOL, page 2

three months before it issued any other endorsements. The union has 511 members and is the exclusive bargaining unit for the Prince William County Police Department, which recently won collective bargaining rights. “The catalyst for the early vote for the commonwealth attorney endorsement was a case in which charges were dropped on a violent offender. Within days, he was rearmed and shooting at a detective and the witness in the case,” said Officer Katherine Zaimis, the police union’s president, in a statement. “Unfortunately, this type of incident seems to be a pattern, and our members are tired of it. We are concerned about our community and the safety of its residents,” the statement said. See POLICE UNION, page 4
Supervisors extend deadline for car tax bills to January By Shannon Clark Times Staff Writer
Citing calls and complaints from residents about high car tax bills, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to extend the deadline for payments this year by three months. The payments are now due Jan. 3, 2024, providing some extra time for county residents to pay what supervisors acknowledged has become a burdensome tax bill. “(This tax) is very frustrating, and we have to find a solution that can work for everyone in Prince William County,” said Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco. The extension comes after a motion by Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge. Franklin noted that all the supervisors have been receiving calls and emails regarding this year’s personal property tax payments. “I think that it is an opportunity to stop and listen and to pay attention to what citizens are saying,” said Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac, in agreement with Franklin’s motion.
Personal property taxes this year for many residents were higher because the county assessed vehicles at 100% of their value, up from only 80% last year. The bills were discounted in 2022 because the pandemic pushed up used car values due to supply-chain issues. The county’s finance department thought that issue would be resolved by the time this year’s payments came due, but used cars have not yet returned to their normal depreciation rates, Prince William County Finance Director Michelle Attreed told supervisors on Tuesday, Sept. 12. Residents are seeing higher car tax bills this year both because values remain high due to the pandemic and because they are seeing less of a reduction in bills from Virginia’s car tax relief law. The law allocates $950 million in car tax relief across the state, but that money is divvied up between localities, and Prince William County is receiving the same reimbursement it received when the law first took effect 20 years ago, Attreed said.

“The spring SOL results show PWCS is collectively moving in the right direction and that there is more work to do,” McDade said in a Sept. 7 statement. “Our comprehensive plan for recovery, acceleration and re-engagement has ensured a focus on continuous improvement in meeting the diverse academic and social well-being needs of every student.” The results also showed that Prince William County’s high school graduation rate is about 91.7%, which is similar to last year’s, but lower than the school division’s 2025 goal of 95%, McDade noted, adding: “A continued commitment and focus to student academic performance and engagement is required.” Virginia also released its school quality reports for the 2022-23 school year. SOL scores are used as part of the reports to determine whether schools receive state accreditation. Schools are listed as either “accredited” or “accredited with conditions.” Very low performing schools can have their accreditation denied by the state, at which point the state requires schools to draw up and implement an improvement plan. Schools are judged on several quality indicators, including test scores, achievement gaps, chronic absenteeism and graduation rates in high schools. In Prince William County, low science scores in some schools and chronic absenteeism — which may be partially the result of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses spreading in schools — were the main issues keeping a few of Prince William County’s 100 schools from achieving full accreditation. Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing more than 10% of the school year. Across the school division, the chronic absentee rate was 20%, according to the Virginia Department of Education.

Schools not fully accredited
No county schools lost their accreditation, and 87 are fully accredited. However, seven schools — including two elementary, three middle and two high schools—are listed as “accredited with conditions.” Schools not fully accredited fell below the state’s benchmarks in at least one school quality indicator. Among schools that are less than fully accredited, Gar-Field High School had the most low-performing criteria, missing four of nine benchmarks. Only 54% of Gar-Field High School students passed their science SOL test, compared to the division-wide average of 66%. The school’s chronic absenteeism was about 35%, which is 15 points higher than the division-wide rate of 20%. Gar-Field High, located on Prince William Parkway near Potomac Mills, also had a 12% dropout rate compared to the division-wide rate of about 8%. The school also missed the accreditation benchmark

for reducing achievement gaps for students with disabilities and had a low score on the “College, Career and Civic Readiness Index,” which measures how well a school prepares its students for college and the workforce. All of those criteria contributed to the school’s rating of accredited with conditions, despite it being fully accredited last year, according to GarField High’s school quality report. Potomac High School was denied full accredited status due to 35% of its students being chronically absent. Both Gar-Field and Potomac high schools, located in Woodbridge and Dumfries, respectively, had higher numbers of students in groups with historic achievement gaps on state standardized tests. Both schools have higher numbers of low-income students than the school division as a whole. About 42% of Prince William County students overall qualify for free and reduced-price school meals, a measure of poverty for public schoolchildren. At Gar-Field High, about 51% of students qualify, while 54% of Potomac High School students do. Gar-Field High School also has a disproportionately high number of Hispanic students, a group whose passing rates on the SOL tests continue to lag behind those of other students. Division-wide, passing rates among Hispanic students were at least 10 points lower than overall passing rates. About 62% of Gar-Field High School’s students are Hispanic compared to 37% of students across the school division. Potomac High School has a disproportionate number of African American students compared to the school division overall. Black students’ passing rates reflected an ongoing achievement gap this year that ranged from three percentage points in math to 15 percentage points in reading. About 44% of students at Potomac High School are Black compared to 19% across the school division.
Middle schools not fully accredited
Three middle schools—Unity Braxton, Fred M. Lynn and Potomac Shores—were denied full accreditation because of low science scores. Science scores were the lowest at Fred Lynn Middle School, where just 49% of students passed the test. The passing rate was down from 56% the previous year, according to the school’s quality profile.
Fred Lynn Middle, located in Woodbridge just west of Richmond Highway, has a higher percentage of English language learners, Hispanic students and low-income students than the school division as a whole. About 60% of Fred Lynn Middle students are Hispanic, about 50% are learning English and nearly 60% qualify for free and reduced-price meals. Potomac Shores Middle School had only 55% of students pass the science SOL, down from 62% the previous year. Potomac Shores Middle, Prince William County’s newest middle school located in Potomac Shores, has a higher number of low-income and Black students than the county as a whole. About 47% of the school’s students qualify for free and reduced-price meals and about 43% of students are Black, compared to about 19% across the school division At Unity Braxton Middle School, the former Stonewall Middle School in Manassas, 53% of students earned passing scores on the science tests, up from 49% the previous year. Unity Braxton has significantly higher numbers of Hispanic students (65%), English learners (55%) and low-income students (52%) than the school division as a whole.
Elementary schools not fully accredited
Only two elementary schools are “accredited with conditions” this year, including Suella G. Ellis Elementary in Manassas and John D. Jenkins Elementary in Dale City. At Ellis, near Unity Reed High School on Rixlew Lane, 25% of students were chronically absent. Ellis also has significantly higher numbers of Hispanic students (57%), English learners (55%) and low-income students (66%) than the school division as a whole. At John D. Jenkins Elementary, on Prince William Parkway, the passing rate on science tests was 58%. The school also has higher numbers of Hispanic students (46%), English learners (42%) and low-income students (57%) than the school division as a whole. John D. Jenkins Elementary is appealing its accreditation status to the state board of education. Reach Anya Sczerzenie at asczerzenie@fauquier.com HOW TO REACH US

School board chair candidates spar on safety, teacher pay, special ed during 1st debate By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer
Two new challengers vying for atlarge chair of Prince William County School Board — Carrie Rist and Kimberly Mehlman Orozco — had incumbent board Chair Dr. Babur Lateef on the defensive over issues such as special education, teacher pay and school safety during a virtual debate Monday night. Rist, 43, who has been endorsed by the local Republican committee, and Mehlman-Orozco, 39, who is running without a partisan endorsement, faced off with Lateef, 51, a Democrat, during the debate, which was hosted by the Prince William Committee of 100 and moderated by the Prince William Times.
School safety
Rist, a Haymarket mom and stepmom to seven children who lives in Haymarket and works as a vice president for a government contracting firm, challenged Lateef on issues of school safety, saying that “we need to secure our schools” to retain teachers. She said every school in the county needs at least one school resource officer and slammed Lateef and the current school board for not putting Evolv weapons detectors in elementary schools, while also call-
ing them a “Band-Aid™ solution.” “We have to stop the bullying; stop the violence. An SRO in every school, zero tolerance for threats or acts of violence, period,” Rist said. “This doesn’t need to be hard.” Rist also criticized the school division for not yet turning on its new Evolv weapons-detection systems. The school division arranged to have the detectors in all 35 Prince William County middle and high schools this year. They are being turned out in a phased roll-out set to start this month. The Evolv system uses artificial intelligence as well as metal detectors to scan students for weapons when they arrive at school. Lateef, an ophthalmologist and father of four who lives in Manassas, said schools are still in the process of installing the machines. “The Evolv system was just purchased,” Lateef said. “They are being implemented as we go, and those are being implemented at all middle and high schools over the next seven to eight weeks and will be turned on. This is an effort that requires some training, and we’re continuing to do so, but that is just one solution.” In response to Rist’s call for town halls to address school safety, Lateef said the school division decided to acquire the Evolv detectors based on parents’ feedback at community

town halls held last spring.
Academics and special education
Mehlman-Orozco said she decided to run for school board chair after her daughter, who receives special education services, did not get into a high school specialty program due to what Mehlman-Orozco called the “complete and total neglect” of special education students. During the debate, she challenged Lateef’s statements about the school division’s special education programs. Mehlman-Orozco holds a Ph.D. in criminology and is considered an expert in human trafficking. She has four children and lives in Montclair. Lateef, however, defended the school division’s special education program, saying passing rates for special education students on the recently released Virginia Standards of Learning tests were higher in the 2022-23 school year than the previous year and that students are still recovering from the pandemic.

rose slightly last school year, with the largest increases being in science and math, according to recently released results from the Virginia Department of Education. “We do have a long way to go— we’ve outlined this in the strategic plan,” Lateef said. “We also have more work to do with our English learners; they make up 37% of our community. Between the English learners and the special education students, those are our fastest growing populations in the county, and those are both populations where we need to make further investments. We’ve made significant investments in special ed since I’ve been here.” Mehlman-Orozco challenged Lateef again based on her firsthand experiences as a mother of a special education student, saying that she took her daughter out of public school because she was not getting enough support.

Alleged shooter’s release prompts police union to endorse Lowery POLICE UNION, from page 1 Ashworth responded in a statement by saying the union’s information about the case “is NOT consistent with the facts.” Ashworth also confirmed that a suspect, who was a juvenile when the fatal shooting occurred, is now back in jail and facing murder charges in connection with the incident at issue. “If the association made an endorsement based on those allegations, it appears that they did not do a proper or thorough investigation prior to making their endorsement,” Ashworth said in a statement. Ashworth said she opposed the release of the suspect but said she cannot say specifically why the charges were dismissed because the suspect was a juvenile when the incident occurred. “The cases being referenced are currently pending in the court system, so I cannot ethically and will not comment except to say that we take all violent crimes seriously and that the cases are being prosecuted.”

April 2023 drive-by shooting
The police union is criticizing Ashworth over a case in which a police detective was shot at during a drive-by shooting involving a suspect who faced prior charges for a fatal shooting nine months earlier but was released from custody after those charges were initially dismissed. The drive-by shooting happened on April 19 in the 3500 block of Wharf Lane in Triangle, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesperson. The police arrested Elijah Douglas Hadley, 18, of Woodbridge, and two others in connection with the drive-by shooting, according to a police press release. According to court papers, police accused Hadley, allegedly a member of the “Bloods” gang, of threatening his ex-girlfriend on Instagram while displaying a firearm, rapping and calling out her address. Upon learning of the alleged threats, police officers went to Hadley’s ex-girlfriend’s home to warn the residents, court papers said. While a Prince William County detective was at the home, a black sedan drove by and someone inside the car fired gunshots toward the house and the people standing outside, according to the criminal complaint. The detective was not injured, but a 58-year-old woman who was a resident of the house was shot and had to be taken to the hospital for emergency medical care, according to court papers. Police arrested Hadley on April 20, the following day, and he was charged with multiple felonies in connection with the drive-by shooting. He has since been jailed at the Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center.
July 2022 arrest as a minor
In its statement, the police union charged that Hadley, who it identified only as a “violent offender,” should not have been out on the streets and blamed Ashworth for dropping charges in a previous arrest, which it says led to Hadley being released from detention. While details are limited because juvenile records are not public, Hadley was incarcerated and held without bond at the county’s Juvenile Detention Center while facing multiple criminal charges, including second-degree murder, malicious wounding and possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with a shooting that occurred on July 20, 2022, when he was 17, according to court papers. The only fatal shooting that occurred in Prince William County on that date involved two teens who fatally shot Brian Darnell Marshall II, 21, of Woodbridge, and injured another man. At the time, police released video of the shootings obtained by a surveillance camera that showed two armed young men walking between two rows of townhomes while brazenly unleashing a torrent of loud gunfire. Police announced on Sept. 12, 2022, that a teen had been charged with second-degree murder and
use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with Marshall’s death. Hadley remained incarcerated pending adjudication of the charges related to the July 20, 2022, shooting and other unrelated drug and gun charges until March. Court records show that on March 9, the prosecutor’s office dropped charges in connection with the July 20, 2022, shooting. Hadley’s criminal defense attorney immediately motioned the court to release Hadley from detention on bond because “Hadley no longer faces any violent charges,” court papers said. Ashworth’s office twice opposed Hadley’s release, first on March 16 and then again on appeal on March 20. But a juvenile court judge released Hadley on bond over the prosecution’s objections. One month later, Hadley, then 18, was arrested for the drive-by shooting, according to court records. Citing ethical obligations in both juvenile and pending cases, Ashworth declined to comment on why Hadley’s charges were dismissed. But Ashworth said “in general” prosecutors can decide not to pursue charges “if we don’t believe there is sufficient evidence to proceed.” “In a case like this, we would always send it back to the police department for them to follow up on investigative leads and do further work,” she added. As conditions of his release, the judge placed Hadley on house arrest at his mother’s home, placed him on juvenile pretrial supervision and electronic monitoring and prohibited him from possessing a firearm, according to publicly available court documents. Ashworth said that police are “fully aware” of prosecutorial decisions to dismiss charges in a case because those decisions are “made in consultation with the police.” In such cases, charges can be refiled if more evidence is obtained.
Pending murder charges
Hadley, now 19, is facing charges of first-degree murder, malicious wounding, firearm charges and several other felonies in connection with incidents that occurred when he was 17. He has a court hearing set for Oct. 3, according to Prince William Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court records requested by the Prince William Times. While Ashworth declined to say whether Hadley’s charges are connected to Marshall’s July 20, 2022, fatal shooting, she confirmed that someone who was a juvenile at the time of the incident has been charged in the case. While Ashworth’s office has reinstated murder charges against Hadley, Zaimis says the development has no effect on the union’s endorsement.
Police union criticizes Ashworth
In addition to the specific criticism about Ash-
worth’s handling of Hadley’s prosecution, the police union statement said that its members are “concerned about the way cases are currently being handled, particularly violent felonies.” “Charges are completely dropped if the prosecutors do not consider it a ‘slam dunk’ case. Not a triable case, not beyond a reasonable doubt, but a case they are sure they can definitely win. Good, solid cases are being thrown out because these prosecutors give up at the slightest hint of a challenge,” the union statement said. Ashworth rejected that assertion. “The claim that ‘solid cases’ are being thrown out because our prosecutors ‘give up’ in the face of a challenge is both entirely false and deeply insulting to the 39 men and women who serve as prosecutors in this office and are dedicated to their profession and this community,” she said in her statement. Ashworth called the union’s characterizations of her decisions about whether to prosecute cases inaccurate. “Whoever is describing a case as being a ‘slam dunk’ or ‘not a slam dunk’ does not appear to have any experience in or any understanding of the criminal courts or the criminal justice system,” she said. “Prosecution is difficult. Each case is unique. Each crime has different elements that must be proven and different evidence that must be sought. … If the prosecutor believes there is enough evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, even if it is a circumstantial case, we proceed with the prosecution,” her statement said. Ashworth said of the 49 cases involving a death that her office inherited from former commonwealth’s attorney Paul Ebert, about three quarters resulted in a conviction or were referred to federal court for prosecution. Of the 48 such cases she has handled since she took office, half have already resulted in convictions and only one was tried and found not guilty. The rest are pending trial or still being investigated. “I am very proud of these accomplishments,” Ashworth said. “We have had three cases in which the defendant pleaded guilty to first-degree murder — twice without any agreement as to the sentence. This speaks to the excellent work done by both our police partners and the prosecutors of this office.” Ashworth argued she and local police departments have good working relationships despite the police union’s criticism of her and endorsement of her opponent. “It is altogether normal that we are going to have our differences from time to time, but our overall relationship is outstanding,” Ashworth said.

Residents call data center flyers ‘misleading’ Mailers feature photo of a Pa. college building — not a data center By Shannon Clark Times Staff Writer
Some Bristow residents are calling foul over flyers touting the Devlin Technology Park that landed in their mailboxes in recent days. The mailers tout a development of up to 14 data centers proposed behind neighborhoods along Linton Hall and Devlin roads but feature an attractive, one-story, wood-andglass building with people sitting at tables out front. The image doesn’t look like a data center because it’s not. It’s actually a photo of a building at Chatham University in Pennsylvania. And that’s just one reason the flyers have upset residents like Michael Phillips, who lives near the proposed data center site. “That’s not a data center,” said Phillips, who works in public relations. “It’s one story tall. It’s made out of wood and glass and has solar panels on the side. People are hanging out there like it’s a country club. It looks nothing like those big monstrosity warehouses that are going up all over the place. My initial reaction was ‘wow, this is propaganda.’” Phillips said a member of the Facebook group “Say No To Devlin Technology Park” connected the photo in the flyer to that of the Eden Campus at Chatham University through a reverse Google search. The flyers ask residents to complete an online, three-question survey to “share your thoughts on how we can improve the project” and states that there is “still an opportunity to impact the design of the final project.” Phillips said the wording of the flyer is “misleading” and “manipulative” as it makes it appear that the Devlin Technology Park is a “done deal.” He noted the survey does not offer space for additional comments. “People who are not educated on the matter or who are not invested in it like I am and some other people I know, it’s scary how manipulating and deceiving it is,” Phillips said.

Devlin Technology Park is a proposal to rezone 270 undeveloped acres along Devlin and Linton Hall roads in Bristow for up to 14 data centers. The land is currently owned by residential developer Stanley Martin and zoned for up to 516 homes. The project is near the communities of Amberleigh Station, Silver Leaf Estates, Lanier Farms, Sheffield Manor, Crossman’s Creek and Victory Lakes, as well as Chris Yung Elementary School. Truett Young, vice president of land for Stanley Martin Homes, said prior to sending out the mailers, Stanley Martin “engaged an external firm” on how to best gather feedback from neighboring communities regarding the project. “We have received a lot of good ideas and feedback on what the surrounding communities would like to see and are actively exploring how we can adopt some of that feedback,” Young said. But Bethany Kelley, an organizer of Say No to Devlin Technology Park, echoed Phillips’ concerns regarding the flyer’s wording and said automated phone calls and text messages with similar surveys were also sent to residents this week. “We are extremely concerned,” Kelley said. “There were actually a lot of surprise reactions to that flyer (on social media), and the survey made it sound like it’s a done deal and that at this point, we just have to work with Stanley Martin to mitigate.” The project was last before the Prince William Board of County Supervisors in February, when a vote was deferred at 3 a.m. after resident protests and hours long meeting. The application has been in deferral status since the county received a letter from Stanley Martin’s attorney, Jonelle Cameron, asking the board to defer a hearing to a “date uncertain.” Young said the image used on the flyers was sent out to around 50 mailers and that the company has since decided not to use it again. “We have since determined that it should not have been used and have removed from any future mailers,” Young said. Other pro-data center flyers were
sent home in Prince William County schools meals bags, earlier this year. It is not clear when Devlin Technology Park will return to the county board of supervisors for consideration. Back in February, Stanley Martin said it would revise the project to remove data centers from the property adjacent to Chris Yung Elementary School. But the developer has not yet made those changes public. If the project moves forward, Phillips said he and his family will be directly impacted and said that he and
his wife spoke with a real estate agent last year about potentially moving. Phillips has lived in the same neighborhood as Chris Yung Elementary since 2017 and has two children. The original Devlin Technology Park plan would have placed the data centers right behind his backyard. “So, all of a sudden, all of these dreams that we have for our family are just kind of going up in smoke,” Phillips said.

Supervisors extend deadline for car tax bills to January CAR TAX, from page 1 The law is supposed to provide full tax bill relief on the first $20,000 of a vehicle’s value. But because of the stagnant reimbursement rate, Prince William County residents are only receiving relief on 38% of the first $20,000 of their vehicle’s value, Attreed said. Each locality is reimbursed the same amount from the state each year, regardless of the population growth, Attreed said. The county uses the JD Power National Automobile Dealers’ Association pricing guide for vehicle assessment, a nationally recognized pricing guide that is most widely used, according to Attreed. Franklin asked staff to explore other national
pricing guides and to provide supervisors with other potential options for next year. While car tax bills have risen for many Prince William County residents, taxpayer services have received about the same number of calls as in prior years regarding tax bills, according to Nicole Brown, the county’s acting communications director. Brown said residents who are struggling to pay their bills have two options: pre-payment plans and delinquent payment plans. While pre-payment plans and regular payment options are available year-round, according to Brown, delinquent payment plans only become available the day after payment is due and are subject to interest and penalties. “Residents are welcome to call taxpayer services to discuss options of payment, if they need help,” Brown said. Residents can also attempt to reduce their tax bills by filing a high-mileage assessment appeal.
To submit an appeal, residents must provide a copy of a recent state safety inspection, oil change, repair receipt or similar documents, which mark their vehicle’s mileage and a copy of vehicle registration or tax billing statement, according to the vehicle high mileage, appeal county webpage. As of Sept. 8, there had been 681 requests for vehicle high-mileage assessments in the taxpayer portal, 208 of which had been approved so far, Brown said. Brown said processing can take anywhere between 24 hours to two weeks this time of year, due to an increased volume of walk-in requests, emails and phone calls. If residents are still waiting on an appeal response close to the tax payment due date, which has now been pushed to Jan. 3, 2024, Brown said taxpayers should pay the amount in full, so they do not accrue any penalties on unpaid portions.

GUEST OPINION
My vision of Prince William County’s path forward
Prince William County is at a crossroads, and we need effective leadership to guide us forward. We deserve leaders who recognize that we are an increasingly diverse county and who understand that is an asset rather than a threat. We want leaders who are willing to understand the day-to-day needs of residents. And we need leaders who recognize that we, as a county, cannot continue to play it small. As the region grows, we too must grow. But we desperately need policies to balance our desire to grow with our obligation to protect our quality of life. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors has two very important jobs: One is to manage our county resources — our budget being the most important — and the second is land use. Let’s start with the budget. Our budget is a statement of principles. It’s hard to watch our teachers and first responders plead for a raise each year. We need to make sure we are paying them fairly and in line with neighboring jurisdictions. We are facing a shortage of qualified personnel, putting our kids and our
DESHUNDRA JEFFERSON
safety at stake. We also need to be better stewards of our tax revenue so that residents don’t continue to unfairly shoulder the burden. There’s been a lot of talk about expanding our commercial tax base, and I’m all for it. But let’s not go for what’s easy over what is right for our county. When the board of county supervisors makes land use decisions, it needs to think about exactly what it is leaving for the next generation. Are they leaving problems to be solved or opportunities to grow? I’m afraid that there will be too many problems left to be solved. The cost of living is rising, and a shortage of obtainable housing is hurting working families. We need to build housing that creates more
opportunities for homeownership, which would create stronger community ties and allow individuals and families to build equity. We are also on the fast track towards rapid industrialization, particularly in the western end of the county, that has been tearing our county apart. There’s a place for data centers, just not anywhere they so desire. Data centers can provide a huge benefit to the county if — and only if — they are located in the right areas and are taxed appropriately. Building data centers next to schools, homes, retirement communities and national parks does not support the greater good. I remain a vocal opponent of the Prince William Digital Gateway and similar projects with good reason. This shouldn’t be viewed as an issue that only affects a handful of people. A community is defined as “a feeling of fellowship with others.” It’s more than feeling — it is a sense of purpose that binds us together. We have to ask ourselves who benefits when we are projecting anger and blame onto other residents we’ve never met. The east versus west divide is
troubling, as division always is. It’s a narrative that only creates more problems rather than opportunities. We should absolutely revitalize older areas of our county and invest more in rehabilitating our older schools. We should also add and expand amenities as the western end of the county continues to grow. Let’s not frame this as an “us” versus “them” issue. Prince William County’s future lies in overcoming the challenges that have held us back and seizing opportunities that could make us more prosperous. The road ahead will determine who we will ultimately become. Let’s choose to move forward. Deshundra Jefferson is a resident of Montclair and the Democratic nominee for chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors in the upcoming Nov. 7 election. Editor’s note: The Prince William Times has invited Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, the Republican nominee, to write an op-ed sharing her vision for the county, which will be published in an upcoming issue of the Prince William Times.
School board chair candidates spar on safety, teacher pay, special ed during 1st debate CANDIDATES, from page 5 Rist also challenged Lateef on special education, though Lateef said the special education department recently underwent an audit that found it fully compliant with state laws. “With (Individualized Education Plans), there should be zero closed doors,” Rist said. “I think we need to form a commission of an IEP and a special education parent, assign them staff resources and outside counsel and empower them to conduct and complete a thorough investigation—and send a plan to our desk to fix the problem and make sure it never happens again.”
Teacher retention
When asked what they would do to retain teachers, Mehlman-Orozco voiced her support of the Prince William Education Association, the local teacher’s union, which is in the midst of tense negotiations with the school division. “The fact of the matter is that the Prince William teachers’ union does not support (Lateef),” Mehlman-Orozco said. “There were multiple teachers who spoke against (Lateef) at the last board meeting, including the union president who called you a liar.”
During the Sept. 6 school board meeting, PWEA President Maggie Hansford urged school board members to attend the ongoing collective bargaining sessions and told Lateef that statements he made to the press blaming the slow pace of negotiations on Hansford and the PWEA were “inaccurate.” “They’re lies, and if you were there during the bargaining sessions—if any of you would come— you would know that,” Hansford said. Lateef has said the school board will not attend the negotiations and is “confident” in the attorney they hired to represent the school division. Mehlman-Orozco also said the county should pay teachers more to be competitive with surrounding school divisions and should be given more resources, especially in low-income schools. “The friends that I know who teach at these Title One schools, they dip into their own pockets; they spend their own money to ensure that they’re having enriching fulfilling classrooms and activities for their kids to do,” Mehlman-Orozco said. “That shouldn’t be happening. We should be giving them the resources.” Lateef shot back, saying that he
presided over the vote approving collective bargaining for Prince William County teachers and that he helped raise teacher salaries by 30% overall since he took office in 2018. “No one’s been able to give the raises I’ve been able to give and prioritize that work,” Lateef said. Rist also challenged Lateef on teacher retention, saying teachers are leaving because they do not feel safe at school. “It’s not just about pay; it’s also about making sure teachers feel safe in the classroom.” Rist said. “Teachers need to feel empowered in the classroom. They need the support of the administration and the school board to back them up. If there’s a school discipline issue, we don’t need restorative justice programs that lessen the penalties. We need orderly classrooms, and we need more funding.”
Policies on transgender students
Rist said that she supports Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s model policies on the treatment of transgender students, which prohibit students from using different names or pronouns than those in their official school records without parental permission. The model policies also require students to use the restrooms that cor-
respond with their birth sex. “Schools should never conceal anything from parents; that’s just wrong.” Rist said. Rist also said that as a former student athlete, she does not believe that “biological males” should be allowed to play on girls’ sports teams. The Prince William County School Board decided last month not to adopt the model policies. Lateef said that its current policies already complied with state and federal non-discrimination laws. According to the school division’s existing policy and regulation, students can request to use different names and pronouns at school without their parents’ permission and may use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity. Lateef said the school division strives to handle such sensitive issues with “compassion” and while working with parents whenever possible. Mehlman-Orozco did not state a clear position on Youngkin’s model policies for transgender students, saying that she believes the school division should comply with state and federal laws but that she also wants to do whatever is “in the best interest of the children.” Reach Anya Sczerzenie at asczerzenie@fauquier.com

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF THE APPLICATION OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR REVISION OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER US-4, SADLER SOLAR FACILITY, FOR THE RATE YEAR COMMENCING JUNE 1, 2024 CASE NO. PUR-2023-00138 •Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider US-4. •In this case, Dominion has asked the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) to approve Rider US-4 for the rate year beginning June 1, 2024, and ending May 31, 2025 (“2024 Rate Year”). •For the 2024 Rate Year, Dominion requests a revenue requirement of $14,185,401, which would decrease the bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per month by $0.04. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on February 14, 2024, at 10 a.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony. •An evidentiary hearing will also be held on February 14, 2024, at 10 a.m., or at the conclusion of the public witness portion of the hearing, whichever is later, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive the testimony and evidence of the Company, any respondents, and the Staff. •Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information. On August 1, 2023, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application (“Application”) for approval of its annual update filing, with respect to Rider US-4 for the Sadler Solar Facility, an approximately 100 megawatt utility-scale solar photovoltaic generating facility located in Greensville County, Virginia (“US-4 Solar Facility” or “Facility”). On January 22, 2020, the Commission approved Dominion’s construction and operation of the US-4 Solar Facility. On April 13, 2020, Dominion also received approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider US-4, for the Company to recover costs associated with the construction of the Facility. The Commission’s approval was subject to certain conditions and requirements, including a performance guarantee for the Facility, which were accepted by the Company. The US-4 Solar Facility began commercial operations on July 6, 2021. The Company states that the capacity factor of the US-4 Solar Facility for calendar year 2022 was 21.5%, which does not include any force majeure events as defined by the Commission for purposes of the performance guarantee. Dominion further notes that the 21.5% capacity factor for calendar year 2022 is below the 22% target capacity factor under the performance guarantee for the Facility. The Company states that the total lost renewable energy certificate revenues for calendar year 2022 for the Facility are $11,749 and the total replacement power costs are $232,898. The Company states that it has developed a proration methodology due to the transition from a rate year to a calendar year for calculating the applicable performance guarantee credits. In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider US-4 for the rate year beginning June 1, 2024, and ending May 31, 2025 (“2024 Rate Year”). The two components of the proposed total revenue requirement for the 2024 Rate Year are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. The Company is requesting a Projected Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $12,256,414 and an Actual Cost True-Up Factor revenue requirement of $1,928,987. Thus, the Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $14,185,401 for the 2024 Rate Year. If the proposed Rider US-4 for the 2024 Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider US-4 on June 1, 2024, would incrementally decrease the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.04 compared to the current Rider US-4. The Company indicates that it has calculated the proposed Rider US-4 rates in accordance with the same methodology as used for rates previously approved by the Commission. Interested persons are encouraged to review Dominion’s Application and supporting documents in full for details about these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this proceeding that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on Dominion’s Application. On February 14, 2024, at 10 a.m., the Hearing Examiner assigned will hold the telephonic portion of the hearing for the purpose of receiving the testimony of public witnesses. On or before February 7, 2024, any person desiring to offer testimony as a public witness shall provide to the Commission (a) your name, and (b) the telephone number that you wish the Hearing Examiner to call during the hearing to receive your testimony. This information may be provided to the Commission in three ways: (i) by filling out a form on the Commission’s website at scc.Virginia.gov/pages/Webcasting; (ii) by completing and emailing the PDF version of this form to SCCInfo@scc.virginia.gov; or (iii) by calling (804) 371-9141. This public witness hearing will be webcast at scc.virginia.gov/pages/Webcasting. Beginning at 10 a.m. on February 14, 2024, the Hearing Examiner will telephone sequentially each person who has signed up to testify as provided above. On February 14, 2024, at 10 a.m., or at the conclusion of the public witness portion of the hearing, whichever is later, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, the Hearing Examiner will convene a hearing to receive testimony and evidence related to the Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission Staff. To promote administrative efficiency and timely service of filings upon participants, the Commission has directed the electronic filing of testimony and pleadings, unless they contain confidential information, and has required electronic service on parties to this proceeding.

What’s Hot at Prince William Libraries: September 2023 By Kirk Johnson
Contributing Writer
Your local library has books on many reading interests — with new titles coming in every week. Here are some new books at Prince William Public Libraries covering “history” in various ways — from Civil War battle lore to historical biography to current-day conditions in the entertainment industry. Almost everybody has some idea of what the French Riviera is — even people who’ve never been there or couldn’t find it on a map are likely to have a vague mental image of the region as a place of beaches, warm weather, beautiful people, glamor, and of course, money. But most people have no idea why this particular seaside area has become such a hotbed of celebrity, ostentatious wealth and exclusiveness. In “The Once Upon a Time World: The Dark and Sparkling Story of the French Riviera,” author Jonathan Miles traces the history of this region beginning in 1835 when a British lord became the first
of many wealthy foreigners to build a lavish home on this formerly humble stretch of the French Mediterranean coast. So, many famous and influential people would follow. This is a history of celebrity culture and the arts as much as of the place itself. While some 19th-century Britishers were creating a new vacation hotspot, others were involved in one of the most consequential technologies in world history — the railroad. In “The Coming of the Railway: A New Global History, 1750-1850,” British historian David Gwyn considers the first century of this transformative transportation technology from a global perspective. Gwyn considers the railroad’s political, social and economic impact and explains the early technological breakthroughs. There are several biographies of writer George Orwell, but somehow, the story of his wife — a writer in her own right — has largely been forgotten and unappreciated … until now. Anna Funder’s “Wifedom: Mrs. Orwell’s Invisible Life” rescues this fascinating and nearly forgotten wom-
an from the shadows of her legendary husband. With every new extreme weather event, the reality of changing climatic patterns has been making itself so evident that it’s easy to forget that for many decades; efforts to deny the possibility of climate change occurring were often quite successful. In “The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial,” author David Lipsky traces how, for several decades, political attempts to counter the scientific consensus were manipulated to undermine effective legislative and policy responses to the coming crisis. He connects these efforts to earlier anti-science campaigns, such as the coverup of the health consequences of smoking. Another timely book is “Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood,” by Vanity Fair writer Maureen Ryan. An examination of the long and troubling history of abuse and exploitation in the entertainment industry, Ryan makes it clear that the problem is both deeply rooted and cannot be
laid at the feet of a handful of bad men. This is a scathing indictment of an industry that Ryan calls on to clean house and do better. Visit pwcva.gov/library to reserve any of the titles mentioned above or to search for more historical fiction and nonfiction. Finally, a new book promises to be the definitive account of the bloodiest day in U.S. military history. D. Scott Hartwig’s “I Dread the Thought of the Place” is a richly detailed blow-by-blow account of the Battle of Antietam as well as a study of the broader impact of the battle and its strategic importance. Civil War and military history buffs will find much to learn and ponder. Kirk Johnson is a manager in Prince William Public Libraries materials services division.

Occoquan’s Fall Arts &Crafts Show returns Sept. 23 to 24 By Aileen Streng
Contributing Writer
An annual favorite, the Fall Arts & Crafts Show, will return to Historic Occoquan with two packed days featuring a wide range of nearly 300 makers and creators in more than 20 categories. Residents and visitors are encouraged to meet emerging and experienced artisans, talk to them about their work and view demonstrations of some of their crafting techniques. The event also invites adult attendees to express their own creativity through Paint & Sip classes, while kids can create their own art in “Imagination Alley,” which will return this year. “The Fall Arts & Crafts Show is a perennial favorite in the region and evolving year after year with new and exciting highlights,” said Julie Little, Occoquan events director. “Families will find loads of fun in Imagination Alley, where kids can create their own works of art. Plus, we’ll host our popular beer and wine garden again this year, too.”
Live demonstrations
During the show, craftmanship is showcased in a wide variety of mediums and price points. Find treasures from favorite crafters and discover new talents from emerging artists. Look for signs in vendor tents that say: “Ask Me About My Work.”
Beer & wine garden
The Fall Arts & Crafts Show will include a Beer & Wine Garden in River Mill Park, both days from noon to 5 p.m., featuring local craft brews from Water’s End Brewery and a variety of handcrafted wines from Woodlawn Press Winery. With plenty of room to spread out, the park is situated along the river and is the perfect spot to
take a break and listen to live music. Collective is the featured band on Saturday, and The D.C. Transit Band makes its Occoquan debut on Sunday. Pro-tip: By parking at the Va. 123 Commuter Lot on Old Bridge Road, visitors can board the “Garden Express” green shuttle straight to the garden at River Mill Park. The main Food Court is situated at this end of town as well.
Paint and Sip
Explore your creative side at the show’s first Paint & Sip in River Mill Park. Painting fosters relaxation, sparks creativity and produces one-ofa-kind pieces of art. Local artist Racheal Bright will guide participants in creating their own make-and-take acrylic masterpieces. Paint and Sip tickets include all supplies and your choice of a wine slushie from Woodlawn Press Winery or a pour from Water’s End Brewery plus a free shuttle pass to the show. Enjoy live bands during your session, too. Each session is two hours. Tickets and more information can be found at EventBrite.

Battlefield edges Patriot 3-1 in field hockey face-off By Matthew Proctor Times Staff Writer
For now, the Bobcats still have the edge. Battlefield pulled out a 3-1 victory Monday over Patriot in the highly anticipated first bout between the previously undefeated Cedar Run District field hockey heavyweights. The knockout blow was Caroline Douglas’ fourth quarter insurance goal as the host Bobcats scored three straight times after trailing 1-0 in Haymarket. “Always a tough game. Patriot always brings a very competitive game against us and of course they did again,” said Battlefield coach Claire Gianelle. The Bobcats improved to 8-0 overall and 4-0 in district play with their fourth straight win over Patriot. Battlefield is planning another district title run. In 2022, the Bobcats started 13-0 before finishing 17-2. After defeating Patriot 2-0 for the Cedar Run District tournament title, they were upset by Colonial Forge 2-0 in the Class 6 Region B semifinals, finishing one game short of reaching the state tournament. “We’ve started a lot of seasons like this, so I’m not getting my head in the clouds by any means with the undefeated, because we’ve been here before,” Gianelle said. “We’ve got to just keep moving and keep looking for the end prize, which is really past districts. It’s regionals, it’s states.” The Pioneers, who made the Class 6 state quarterfinals last year, are 5-1 and 3-1 after bouncing back with a 4-2 win over Freedom (South Riding) on Tuesday. “The girls did their absolute best in a tough situation,” said Patriot coach Emily Ortiz of the Battlefield loss. Patriot lost to Battlefield three times last season, including the Cedar Run title game. They advanced to the Class 6 state quarterfinals by edging Colgan in the region semis to reach the region final, where Colonial Forge won 2-0. Patriot finished 14-7 after losing to Western Branch
Sophomore Lizzie Bachman scored the Bobcats’ first goal on a penalty corner in the second quarter.
6-0 in the state quarters. “I see us even farther,” Ortiz said of Patriot’s playoff ambitions. “We don’t have any one player that is a superstar, we truly play as a team. And sometimes when you get into these rivalries, like we have a little rivalry (with Battlefield), Gainesville has a little rivalry, sometimes attitudes can shift and girls can get intimidated. But when it comes to what team is going to perform best when it matters, it’s going to be us.” Both teams started slow, playing patiently as they worked their way into the game. In the second, the action intensified just 30 seconds in as Patriot pushed the ball inside the 10-yard line into a massive scrum where Patriot senior Chloe Annibell eventually poked the ball into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead. Battlefield battled back over the next four minutes, scoring twice to take a 2-1 lead. First, Lizzie Bachman played a penalty corner to Natalie Moul, who passed it right back to an unmarked Bachman along the left post for a tap-in goal to tie the game. Then, Hailey Hatfield played a long ball down the right sideline for Aayla Burgo, who cut inside and placed a beautiful pass to Kyra Moran along the back post for another point-blank goal and the lead. “(Bachman) has stepped up tremendously for us this year. And really her in the midfield, she’s got very good timing and stick skills and I was so excited that she was able to put it away like that,” Gianelle said of the Bobcats’ first goal. Gianelle said she has been impressed by firsttime varsity starters Burgo and Moran, who combined for the second strike. “The speed that we have on the wings that those two girls bring has been so impressive. So just the way that they get down there and then that connection was awesome.” See FIELD HOCKEY, page 15

A third man has died of gunshot wounds suffered Friday during a quadruple shooting in a Dale City home. Police released the victims’ identities Monday but have not yet announced an arrest nor a motive for the gunfire. On Monday, May 29, police identified the three fatalities as Edwin Geovanny Salmon, 37; Luis Alonzo Salgado-Rivas, 41; and Kevin Josue Vallecillo Mendoza, 23, all of Woodbridge, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. The police investigation has so far determined that the suspect -- who has neither been identified nor arrested -- opened fire during a gathering inside a home in the 14700 block of Birchdale Avenue at about 2:25 p.m. on Friday, May 26, striking four men. The home is located directly across the street from the Birchdale Park and Community Center in Dale City. See SHOOTING, page 5

remaining to give the Bobcats the 3-1 lead. As the ball was battered around in a scrum directly in front of the goal, the senior poked the ball in to deliver the knockout blow. “She is so good at playing pads on the goalkeeper. So I feel like in that position, that is something that she does a lot in practice and is very successful. So getting it off the goalie pads is how she was able to succeed,” Gianelle said.

doubled their advantage with a goal on the counterattack, but the shot was too high and the goal was waived off, leaving the score 2-1 entering the fourth. Patriot’s best chance to tie came on a long Fernandez shot that was saved by Battlefield goalie Josie Lusk, then a penalty corner that the Bobcats’ defense shut down in the opening two minutes. After a series of Battlefield chances came up just short, Douglas found the back of the net with six minutes

Patriot appeared to have tied the game three minutes later as a Faith Fernandez chip shot from just outside the left post found the back of the net, but after a five-minute debate between the referees and the coaches the goal was waived off. “It was a beautiful reverse chip, which is an advanced skill. It absolutely is. A lot of teams aren’t pulling that kind of stuff,” Ortiz said. “They decided to call it ‘dangerous,’ which,
sometimes when balls are in the air, it is dangerous. But clearly nobody got hurt, so it wasn’t dangerous.” After the lengthy delay, neither team was able to get back into a rhythm for the remainder of the first half as Battlefield led 2-1 at the break. To open the third, Patriot seemed motivated to amend their misfortune as they controlled the possession for most of the quarter but couldn’t put a shot on goal. In the final two minutes of the quarter, Battlefield looked to have

Tips for protecting your home, family with home security By Carmen Rivera
State Farm Insurance
Consider investing in a home alarm system for added home security and theft deterrence options. Taking the time to understand the types of security alarm systems available and exactly how they may improve your home security is important so you can purchase a system tailored to your needs and budget.
Types of home security systems
Alarm systems can be wired or wireless. They can be installed by a professional or you might decide to do it yourself. You also have the option of paying a security company to monitor the system. Here is some additional information that may help you decide what system will meet your needs:
Monitored or unmonitored?
Monitored systems are those where a private company watches your system 24/7, alerting the police if something goes wrong and you can’t be contacted. Many alarm systems offer a “self-monitoring” feature where the user receives alerts by phone, text, email or smart phone technology. Monitored systems offer constant vigilance. They typically function in the following ways: • The system’s sensors are triggered in some way, such as a door opening. • The system waits 30 to 45 seconds to give the homeowner a chance to deactivate the system to prevent false alarms. • If the alarm is not deactivated, the security system sends a message to the monitoring company over telephone lines or by a wireless device. • The monitoring company receives the message and verifies the alarm, generally by placing a call to the home or homeowner’s mobile phone. If they do not receive an answer or the proper passcode, the company calls the police. • The police respond. Unmonitored systems have on-site sirens and/or flashing lights that may alert your neighbors of a break-in, meaning that you’ll be relying on them to contact police if you aren’t home.
Hardwired or wireless
Many home security systems may
have some or all of the following components: • Control panel: All the operations of the alarm system are centered in this panel, including the connections to the central monitoring station, either through a phone line or cellular/radio means. • Central monitoring station: If the system is monitored, and the alarm is set off, the control panel sends a message here. • Touchpads: This is where the system is armed and disarmed. They should be placed near doors so they can be armed on your way out and disarmed after you return. Most work on a passcode system. • Key fobs: Similar to your car lock/ unlock fob, these arm and disarm your alarm system from outside the premises without using a passcode. • Sirens: A siren will sound an alert when an alarm is set off. • Door and window sensors: These set off the alarm when a door or window is opened. Glass break sensors are also available and recommended. • Motion detectors: Motion detectors are activated by movement within the protected room. There are various styles to meet the individual needs of the homeowner. • Video monitoring: Surveillance video is an option with most systems at an additional cost. The images can be sent to the monitoring station directly, captured and stored locally and/or viewable online by computer or smart phone. Doorbell cameras are also an option. • Alert panic buttons: The central station will be alerted in the event of an emergency situation that requires immediate response by the police. These buttons are also known as duress alarms. • Carbon monoxide and water detection: Some monitoring systems provide carbon monoxide detection and water detection. Hardwired home security systems use wires to connect components to the central control panel. These systems don’t rely on networks to communicate with the control panel. If your alarm system is monitored by a security company, it is more likely
they will communicate with you on a phone line if an alarm is set off. In the case of wireless home security systems, each component communicates with the control panel using wi-fi or cellular data. These types of systems may be affected if the network is down or has interference. They also use batteries, so it may be a good idea to check the different components regularly to make sure they have power to function properly.
Tips for choosing an alarm company
If you’re looking to get a house alarm system, do your research. Before calling any alarm companies, speak to the local police. Get an idea of how long it takes them to respond to a home security alarm after being contacted by an alarm company. Valuable time can be lost (as well as valuables themselves), which may influence your purchase decision. Next, ask them about fines for false alarms. Get quotes from three different alarm companies in your area, if available, and compare detection coverage and features. It’s recommended that the company that monitors your property be certified by Underwriters Laboratory, Factory Mutual or some other nationally recognized testing laboratory. When speaking to company representatives, ask them about the criminal screening process for their employees. Ask about extra costs to the monitoring fees billed by the companies, such as copies of alarm reports. Also, beware of long-term contracts from these companies, because they may be difficult to break if you decide to cancel service or move from your home. Inquire about warranties and safety guarantees and verify whether the equipment is to be purchased or leased.
alarm signals over these lines is often unreliable and other steps should be taken to ensure proper reception. If the hard line is still utilized, realize that many burglars know how to cut a telephone line before infiltrating a home. However, if the phone line is inaccessible and runs underground, the thieves can’t tamper with the telephone line until after they have broken in, which is too late for them. An alternative is to purchase a cellular alarm system, which will not allow thieves to tamper with the transmission of the alarm signal.
Insurance discounts
Getting a home alarm system might not only help protect your family and property from burglars, it may also get you a discount on your homeowners insurance. Each insurance company is different, so available discounts may be specific to the insurance carrier you have.

Other considerations
Even with the advent of wireless technology, many alarm systems still need a hard telephone line to dial out. Consider asking your alarm company exactly how the system will contact them in the event of a security breach. If you’re using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for your phones and internet, you may want to tell the alarm monitoring company, as transmission of

Robert Kilmer 1939 - 2023
David Wallace Junkins
Robert Kilmer was born October 3, 1939, in Tucson, Arizona, to his parents, mother Roberta Daniels Kilmer and father Christopher Kilmer. His native instinct and his talent led him to a life in literature and writing that extended family tradition. His grandfather, Joyce Kilmer, after refusing an officer's commission, was killed in heroic action in World War 1. Before his death, Joyce was a loved and admired poet. His most famous poem was "Trees." The family moved from Tucson to Oxford, North Carolina, then to Greenwich Village, and finally to Stillwater, New Jersey, where they lived with a friend of his grandmother, the poet Aline Kilmer, until they found a house by what had been a slaughterhouse. His father, a minor poet, named their street "RoadApple Avenue." Robert's mother Bert did a wonderful job encouraging his imagination and introducing him to a lifetime of loving literature. After a weak performance in high school he went on to enlist in the U. S. Army. He served in Germany for three and a half years. After Robert's tour in Germany, he enrolled in Louisiana State University. There he learned to love Cajun music and Cajun food. He graduated with a BA in English. At graduation he earned a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and was accepted at The University of Chicago. There, he earned his Master's degree and PhD, awarded "with honors." His dissertation was on John Barth. Robert's first teaching job was at Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tennessee. After four years there he was refused tenure because of his lack of publications and too good a job of teaching. His chairman said he was refused tenure because of his lack of publication. When he asked what was said of his teaching, the chairman said there was one student complaint that "When we ask Dr. Kilmer questions, sometimes he tells us to find out for ourselves. Now a few professors said that was good, but others …." From Vanderbilt, unemployed, he moved to Arlington, Virginia to live with his sweetheart, Marion MacLean. Eventually they married and bought a house, "Little Eden," in Fairfax County. He worked the 1-1/4 acre lot to become a productive garden, including 250 asparagus plants. He and Marion lived there until their divorce in 1991. He joined the faculty of Northern Virginia Community College to help open the Woodbridge campus. He retired after 35 years, as Professor Emeritus in the English Department. In addition to his regular teaching assignments, he had helped start the Honors Program on that campus, working with bright, dedicated students. Robert was a member of the Northern Virginia Writing Project, following Marion into that distinguished fellowship. In 1991 he answered an ISO (In Search Of) ad in the Washingtonian magazine, meeting Claudia Costello. They married in May of 1993, and he moved to Manassas, joining Claudia, her daughter Sara Costello, and the three cats. His very first project was to start a new asparagus bed in the back yard. Robert was an avid home-brewer, making over 350 five-gallon batches of ales and stouts. Once the new commercial brewers started making excellent beers he gave up brewing and explored their offerings, finding them as good as his. He was also an excellent cook, serving wonderful dishes to family and friends. He was able to renew his garden efforts in Manassas, and went on to found The Garden Basket, a community-supported agriculture business. For six years he and Claudia provided vegetables to ten customers for six months a year. Robert also took up foraging for wild mushrooms, joining the Mycological Association of Washington. He served as its secretary for several years. Robert is survived by his wife Claudia, her daughter Sara Costello; his sisters Ann Buskirk (Dennis), Margaret Kilmer (Sharon Haug), and Elizabeth "Sam" Strain (JJ); niece Laine Strain (David); sister-in-law Jenny Mizelle (Don); nephew Alex Carr (Anna), and a host of Kilmer cousins. He was predeceased by his parents, Christopher "Kip" and Bert Kilmer, and niece Diana Strain. A private memorial service will be conducted at a later date. Condolences may be sent to www.oldetownefh.com .
David Wallace Junkins passed away suddenly August 24, 2023, at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, MD. He was 74. The middle child of three boys, Dave was born in Arlington, VA, on August 21,1949 to Franklin Wallace Junkins and Mary Alta Ryan. Dave grew up in Fredericksburg, VA, and Glenn Dale, MD, where he loved playing sports. Often, when dinner was ready, his father would search the neighborhood for Dave only to find him playing basketball or football with his friends well past dark. Dave's love of sports - especially all D.C. teams remained lifelong, and he shared that love through coaching his sons and their friends and supporting them from the stands through their school years. After graduating from Duvall High School in Lanham, Maryland, Dave joined the United States Navy, where he received an honorable discharge. Dave's 32-year career with the Internal Revenue Service included executive-level service in tax administration.

Robin Kayling Moss
Charles Edward Vernon
Robin Kayling Moss (nee Hamlett), age 58, of Midland, VA passed away August 18, 2023 after a long and grueling battle with meningitis and its complications. Robin was born on December 17, 1964 in Danville, VA. Robin was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend. Robin had an enormous impact on the lives of family and friends, and her community, that will not be easily forgotten. For years Robin volunteered with Fauquier sports clubs as a team mom and could always be found on the sidelines passionately cheering her sons' teams. At any day of the week, her sons and their friends would gather at her home for food, fun, and laughter. Robin hosted an annual Christmas party that brought much joy and much laughter to her family and friends. Robin will be remembered for her boundless love for animals especially her horses, dogs, and cats. Robin had a special compassion for the elderly seen not only through her profession as a Home Health Care Aide, but also through service to her elderly neighbors for whom she ran errands, cleaned, and provided home health care. For those whose lives were touched by Robin, their lives were made better. Robin will be greatly missed but always remembered - especially her hearty laugh - with tremendous affection. Robin is survived by her husband, Charles Kevin Moss of Midland, VA; her sons Josh Dwayne Moss (Jaime) of Summerduck, VA and Charles "Kevin" Moss (Mandé) of Midland, VA; her stepdaughter, Jennifer Cain (Scott) of Jacksonville, NC; her grandson Michael Moss of Summerduck, VA; her step-grandson, Jerian Hendricks of Summerduck, VA; her parents Weldon and Shelvie Hamlett of Midland, VA; her brother, Dwayne Hamlett of Spotsylvania, VA; her nephews, Michael, Matthew, and Zach Hamlett of Spotsylvania, VA; her niece, Shara Brantley of Oakley, CA; mother-in-law Jeannine Moss of Stafford, VA; and her sisters-in-law Lisa Woerner (Thomas dec'd) of Oakley, CA and Denise McCosh (Brian) of West Palm Beach, FL; and brother-in-law, Matthew Moss of Washington, DC. Robin's sister-in-law and great friend Christine Hamlett and her father-in-law Robert D. Moss preceded her in death. A memorial service will be held at Lake Ritchie Pavilion, 5305 Lake Ritchie Rd, Bealeton, VA on Sep 17, 2023 at 1:00 pm.
Charles Edward Vernon, 84, of Catlett,VA, passed away at his home on August 30, 2023, surrounded by his loving family and dog, Benji. Chuck was born in 1939 in Logansport, IN, to Mary Roberta DeYarmond and Arthur Dumont Vernon. He grew up in Jackson, MI, with his brothers, Gil and Steve. Chuck entered the U.S. Air Force and served in Ankara, Turkey, where he met a school teacher from Boston, Ann-Marie Bethge. They returned stateside and settled in Falls Church, VA. Chuck and Ann-Marie married in 1962 and had two children, Erica Marie (Alan Stevas) and Charles Dumont (Amy). Chuck is also the grandfather to Megan, Abigail, and Savannah. Chuck was very active in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, St. James School, and served on the city Board of Zoning appeals. While he worked hard in his remodeling company, Chuck Vernon Construction Co., he also enjoyed skiing and fishing. Chuck took extraordinary care of Ann-Marie as she battled cancer. In 2008, Ann-Marie passed away after being sick for many years. After her death, Chuck started a new chapter in his life. He met Ann Tearle, and together, they enjoyed all that life had to offer for 15 years including trips to Las Vegas, cruises, and visiting family and friends all around the country. Chuck liked to spend his days mowing grass on his Bad-Boy mower, working in his garden, building massive Lego kits and working on carpentry projects in his barn. Chuck had an impact on so many lives as evidenced by the numerous people who called or visited in his final days. A special thank you to Pastor Tyrone Green of Hearts Delight Baptist Church who helped the family navigate this difficult time. A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, September 21st at 11 a.m. at Hearts Delight Baptist Church 11229 Brent Town Rd, Catlett, VA 20119. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hearts Delight Baptist Church, Catlett, or to Paws for Seniors, Toms Brook, VA.

Harry Douglas Gray Harry Douglas Gray (Doug),73, of Ada, Virginia passed away peacefully surrounded by his four children and family on August 30, 2023. Doug is survived by his four sons, Chris, Brian, David and Tony, his sisters Millie and Kay, brothers John and Mark, twelve grandchildren, Jordan, Taylor, Trenton, Jake, Daniel, Brieann, Darren, Caden, Wesley, Lucy, Marshall Buck, and Honus, his stepson Stevie, daughter in laws Valerie, Marnie and Jane. Doug is preceded in death by his wife of 30 years, Bertha Lanham Gray, his father Harry E. Gray "Buck", mother Helen Frazier Gray, sister Pamela, brother Jerry and grandson Dylan. Doug was born on April 11, 1950, and grew up in Ada, Virginia. Doug graduated from Fauquier High School in 1968. After high school, Doug married and raised his four sons living in Fauquier and Loudoun counties where he worked on farms, trained horses, learned to be a master gardener and did a lot of coon hunting. Doug later owned and operated Grays Turf, utilizing his skills and eye for detail to shape and maintain some of the most beautiful properties and estates in Northern Virginia for nearly 40 years. In 1992 Doug met the love of his life Bertha, and they married in June 1993. Bertha's influence changed the trajectory of Doug's life. Bertha loved Doug unconditionally, with respect and fervor like no other, and Doug did her as well. Those close to them all agree that Bertha saved Doug's life, smoothing his "rough edges", turning a Freestate Rambler into the kind, caring and loveable guy that family and friends knew and loved. In his final years, during Bertha's illness, Doug returned the unconditional love given to him, caring for Bertha and fulfilling their wedding vows, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do they part. Bertha passed just 5 days prior to Doug. Theirs was the perfect love story. Doug was a good man, not a perfect man. His life story and legacy are best summed up in one word...Redemption! Redemption in all parts of his life. For this, his sons and family are forever grateful. Doug Gray was laid to rest , next to Bertha on Tuesday, September 5th at Carters Cemetery in Ada Virginia. Doug touched many lives and was loved by so many. He will be forever in our hearts and will be greatly missed.
