Very easily influenced and living in a time and place when this epidemic hit. She might as well have had a bull’s-eye on her back.” Caroline Folker and her husband have since separated, a consequence, she said, of their daughter’s struggle with addiction and her death.
Two separate debates for candidates vying for Prince William County’s top elected posts sparked spirited discussions last week on topics ranging from whether the name of the former Confederate president should remain on U.S. 1 to funding for local schools to whether the jail should retain its controversial agreement with federal immigration enforcement. In the first event, held Tuesday, Sept. 10 at the Regency at Dominion Valley, four candidates vying for chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors discussed Jefferson Davis Highway as well as state gun laws and the fate of the rural crescent. The post is open for the first time in 13 years, as current Board Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, announced in January he would not seek re-election. Stewart’s decision came about two months after he lost his November 2018 bid for the U.S. Senate to incumbent Sen. Tim Kaine (D) by 16 points statewide. Kaine beat Stewart by a whopping 32 points in Prince William County. On the topic of Jefferson Davis Highway, Ann Wheeler, the Democratic candidate, said many county residents find the name offensive. “The name of that road, especially in the eastern end of the county, makes a lot of people uncomfortable,” Wheeler said. “We are a majority-minority county. We need to understand that it upsets people.” Republican nominee John Gray, as well as independents Muneer Baig and Don Scoggins, said they would

Recovery: A slow, painful road
The region suffers from a shortage of residential and outpatient centers By Randy Rieland
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
It was agony enough that their 19-year-old daughter died of a heroin overdose. After all, Brian and Caroline Folker had always thought Fauquier County was a safe place to raise their two daughters. After much research, they had picked it as the place to live when he was trans-
ferred from London to a job in Vienna, Virginia. But it seemed like unnecessary cruelty to have Kathrine die not long after a stint in an addiction recovery center, after being buoyed by so much relief and hope. Through their terrible ordeal, the couple learned one of the awful realities of addiction. Most addicts relapse. Multiple times. Even after they receive treatment. Kathrine had been in the Edgehill Recovery Retreat in Winchester for only two weeks when she left. She told her parents she was afraid she would lose her job if she stayed any longer. She also told them she would be fine.

It doesn’t change the past, it doesn’t change what happened.” Scoggins said changing the name wouldn’t solve anything and that more attention should be paid to other matters, especially economic development. Baig said keeping the highway’s current name is an opportunity to learn about our history. “Every history in the world has its dark moments,” Baig said. “We can either run from it or we can learn from it. What we’re doing by erasing it, is running from it; but we have a great opportunity to learn from it.”
Gun laws
Supervisors are limited in what they can do about state gun laws, but they can set the fee for concealed-carry weapon permits. In 2016, Stewart led a successful effort to slash the price of such permits from $50 to $15. Asked whether they would support an increase in the concealed carry permitting fee, three of the four candidates – Wheeler, Baig and Scoggins – said they would support a fee increase. The three also said they would push for “commonsense” changes in the state’s gun laws to help

Gray did not mention any gun law changes he would support and was the only candidate who said he would not consider raising the concealed carry permit fee. Baig, who said he owns a gun, said the state needs stricter background checks for firearms purchases. Wheeler said Virginia’s state legislature had not done enough to address the issue. “I care about commonsense gun control, whether it’s background checks, closing the loophole at gun shows, anything that makes our community safer,” Wheeler said. “I don’t think we can necessarily make

Wheeler said she would look for better ways to preserve the county’s open space, including encouraging conservation easements to permanently limit development. “There’s was a 450-acre farm recently that was chopped up into 10acre lots. To me, that’s not preserving open space. It’s lawn; it’s not land,” Wheeler said.

Guzman, Jordan clash on paid sick leave By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, is endorsing efforts by Virginia’s largest faith-based advocacy group to require businesses with six or more employees to provide five paid sick days for full-time workers. If passed, Virginia would join 11 other states -- Arizona, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington -- in requiring paid sick days for workers. Around 41% of Virginia’s private sector workers, or 1.2 million people, don’t have paid sick days or paid time off, according to Kim Bobo, co-executive director of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy. “Paid sick days should be a public health priority. People of faith and goodwill call upon our state senators and delegates to enact legislation to protect our children and our workforce by mandating paid sick days. Virginia was recently ranked the number one state for business. Let’s make it the number one state for workers, families and children,” Bobo said in a statement.
Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, speaks in support of requiring Virginia businesses to offer paid sick leave during a Sept. 5 press conference hosted by the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy. D.J. Jordan, a Republican who is challenging Guzman in the Nov. 5 election, said he wouldn’t support measures requiring paid sick leave if elected. “Many small businesses in this area already provide paid days off, or they work with their team members if issues come up,” Jordan said. “Adding additional government mandates on them is bur-

Ashworth, May spar on ICE agreement
In the second debate, held Wednesday, Sept. 11, Amy Ashworth, the Democratic candidate for commonwealth’s attorney, said she believes the county’s agreement with U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement to identify undocumented immigrants booked at the local jail does not ensure residents’ safety. The program, known as a 287(g) agreement, allows the jail to deputize its officers as ICE agents to access federal databases. Jail officials also hold inmates for 48 hours past their release date if ICE issues a detainer for their custody. Ashworth, a former Prince William County prosecutor, worked in the commonwealth’s attorney’s special victims’ unit when the agreement first went into effect in 2008. She said it’s had a negative impact on the community. “We created an entire class of people, namely immigrants -- some legal, some not legal -- that were afraid to come forward and report crimes, and I knew this because they found their way into my office in the

special victims’ unit through a family friend, through a lawyer, saying, ‘My child’s been sexually abused, but I’m afraid if we report this to the police, they’re going to deport me,’” Ashworth said. Prince William and Culpeper counties are the only localities in Virginia that hold 287(g) agreements with ICE. The program has cost the county about $300,000 per year to maintain since 2012. “This is a program that has cost the taxpayers over $2.5 million and it does nothing to ensure your safety,” Ashworth said. Republican candidate Mike May, a trial lawyer, said he supports the agreement. May served on the board of county supervisors as the Occoquan District representative from 2007 to 2016. “Ultimately this is about making sure folks that commit crimes in the community are not returned back into the community when they can be sent to another place. I think it makes sense,” May said. May said the agreement was only being talked about now “because folks want to nationalize local elections.” “I do think there is more that the commonwealth’s attorney can do
densome and could hurt their ability to hire more people in our community who really need a job.” Anti-poverty group Oxfam America ranked Virginia the worst state in the nation for workers’ rights in 2019 based on the state’s wages, worker protections and ability to organize. Virginia ranked last in all three categories. Guzman joined legislators and advocates in Richmond Sept. 5 for a press conference to help launch the Virginia Interfaith Center’s “Paid Sick Days for All Virginians” campaign. “We need to ensure that parents across the commonwealth have time to visit the doctor to get preventative care, have the time to take their children to the doctor, have the time to take their parents to the doctor,” Guzman said. Guzman, who has four children, said she did not have paid sick leave while working in the private sector, and used vacation days to take her children to the doctor.

Katrina King is a recovery coach with the Empowered Communities Opioid Project, a collaboration of George Mason University and Prince William County. OPIOID, from page 1 Recovery can be a painfully tortuous process, one that often takes years of treatment and counseling, not to mention much patience and support from family and friends. There is no quick fix, no surefire cure. And, unfortunately, Virginia’s Piedmont region is playing catch-up when it comes to both short-term treatment options and long-term assets, such as recovery housing, which can be critical for those trying to make the transition to a more normal life. That’s a big part of the challenge facing communities like Warrenton, Culpeper and Manassas. Organizations such as Piedmont CRUSH (Community Resources United to Stop Heroin) have taken a crucial first step by bringing together groups dealing with different aspects of the opioid crisis — from law enforcement to social services to health care. But fighting this epidemic requires a long-term commitment to providing the services that help recovering addicts try to pull their lives back together, says Steve Williams, mayor of Huntington, West Virginia. Huntington is often described as ground zero of the opioid epidemic. In 2015 alone, police and first responders in the town of 50,000 people handled more than 700 overdose calls; 58 of its residents died. “Frankly, I think it’s the greatest existential threat to our nation,” Williams said. “If there was not another opioid tablet sold, or another gram of heroin illicitly distributed, we would still be dealing with the consequences of the opioid outbreak for the next 30 to 50 years.”

Abstinence-based: The model of treatment based largely on peer support rather than the use of medications. The commitment to abstain from alcohol and drugs is a core element of 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery. Acute care: Early phase of treatment during which detox can occur and a person is stabilized under medically managed or monitored care in a residential facility. Usually lasts about a month. Assessment: A process used to evaluate an addict’s condition and determine his or her medical, psychological and social needs. It usually involves biological tests, such as blood and urine samples, as well as a clinical diagnostic interview, and is the first step in developing an appropriate treatment and recovery plan. Drug courts: Special courts that take a public health approach to drug-related crimes. Judges, attorneys, probation officers, law enforcement, mental health agencies, social services and treatment communities work together to help addicted offenders get into recovery programs. Employee assistance programs (EAP): Voluntary intervention programs offered by employers to support employees dealing with mental health and emotional issues, including substance use. Services offered may vary, but they include providing employees with free, confidential assessments, short-term counseling and follow-up services. Harm reduction: Strategies, policies and programs meant to reduce the negative consequences associated with drug use. Examples include clean-needle exchange programs designed to reduce cases of hepatitis and HIV, and wide distribution of Narcan to save overdose victims. Intensive outpatient program (IOP): A nonresidential clinical treatment where patients participate in hours of individual and group therapy sessions several days a week for as long as four months. It enables people still early in their recovery to transition to living at home and working in a job while getting intensive therapy. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT): Combines behavioral therapy with use of FDA-approved medications, including Suboxone, methadone and naltrexone. Narcotics Anonymous (NA): Modeled after the principles, practices and structure of Alcoholics Anonymous, it’s a 12-step program for individuals struggling with drug use. NA has regular open meetings in more than 100 countries. Oxford House: A concept of recovery housing where rent-paying tenants live in democratically run homes where they must abstain from alcohol and drugs and follow other house rules or they are evicted. It’s based on a model created by the nonprofit Oxford House Inc. Peer support groups: Structured nonclinical programs in which people recovering from substance abuse get support from peer-sharing their own experiences with recovery. Best known peer-to-peer groups are AA and NA. Peer counselors: Trained and certified counselors who have long-term recovery from addiction and are providing help and counseling to those still trying to recover. Recovery coach: A person who works with a recovering addict to make better life decisions and spend less time struggling with overcoming their situation. He or she can assist in many aspects of recovery, from following through on treatment to rebuilding trust from family members and friends. – Randy Rieland

Stigma prevents addicts from seeking treatment But education and new programs are helping Sometimes when people show up for the Friday night Celebrate Recovery meetings at the Bridge Community Church in Warrenton, they’re hesitant to leave their cars. Greeters are assigned to the parking lot to welcome them. “People have so much shame and embarrassment and they’re fearful of coming in and exposing too much of themselves,” said Pat Smith. “But that’s exactly what will set them free and put them on a journey to recovery.” But recovery from addiction is an intensely personal and unpredictable matter. What works for one person may do little to keep another from relapsing. For many years, the treatment model of choice has been built around abstinence and accountability, epitomized by 12-step, peer-to-peer support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Celebrate Recovery (CR) follows many of the same principles, only with a sharp focus on the scriptures.

OPIOID RIPPLES

OPIOID, from page 4 have to make too abrupt a reentry to a more normal life, the risk of relapse rises. He said the CSB is moving forward with plans to open what’s known as an Oxford House in Fauquier County, which would be the region’s first. These are the least structured recovery residences, based on a model where rent-paying addicts live together with strict rules against drinking or using drugs. Any violation can get a person voted out of the house. Fauquier County will be getting a new residential facility later this year when the PATH Foundation and the Herren Wellness Group -- created by former NBA player Chris Herren -- open a 21-bed center for recovering addicts. With its focus on “spiritual and personal growth,” the Herren Wellness Retreat at Twin Oaks will promote recovery through yoga meditation, exercise and individual and group coaching. The costs of a month’s stay will be about $15,000. While the center will be self-pay, with no insurance accepted, several beds will be reserved for people paying a reduced rate on a sliding scale.
Staying in treatment
Residential recovery after detox isn’t an option for many people financially, or they aren’t able to be away from their families or a job for that long. An alternative is an intensive outpatient program (IOP). It requires patients to get three hours of individual or group counseling three times a week for at least three months. It’s demanding but permits those who still need concentrated treatment to have flexibility. “The problem is that too many people are lost after they go through a detox program,” said Diwan, who hopes to have an IOP available within the next month. “This is a good way to get them back into treatment.” Unfortunately, only a few practices in the region offer IOPs. Earlier this month, the nonprofit Youth for Tomorrow began offering intensive outpatient treatment for substance abuse at the Warrenton office it opened in June. But that program is only for teenagers between 13 to 17. They have nine hours of therapy a week, similar to the program at Youth for Tomorrow’s Woodbridge office. LaGraffe says his agency would also like to be able to offer an IOP. But he has found is that it can be difficult in rural areas to recruit clinicians to work in addiction treatment. Also, the lack of public transportation makes it hard for people to get to therapy sessions, particularly when they’re three times a week. While cheaper than residential programs, the cost of IOPs is not insignificant. It varies based on a person’s health insurance, but the co-pay can run anywhere from $25 to $95 a day. For someone getting counseling three times a week for three months, that adds up. Diwan is arranging to be able to accept Medicaid patients. “I think it’s better in some ways than someone transitioning into another recovery residence,” he said, “because it makes you have to have some responsibility, and being out there getting your life restarted while you’re still getting counseling.”
“Crawling below the sewer”

Jim LaGraffe is the director of the Rapidan-Rappahannock Community Services Board, which operates Boxwood Recovery Center in Culpeper. When Dan Obarski meets with drug overdose patients in the emergency room of Culpeper Medical Center, the best-case scenario is that they realize their lives have gone off the rails. As a peer recovery specialist, he asks a lot of questions, with the intent of edging them to an epiphany. “I don’t ask them to do anything,” he said. “My goal is to get them to a place where they’re going to admit they have a problem and that they’re ready to accept help.” Two years ago, Obarski started a nonprofit called Sex, Drugs and God to help others fighting addiction. As someone who overcame his own alcohol abuse through counseling and a church “accountability” program, he said he can pretty much tell who is serious about taking on recovery and who is telling him what they think he wants to hear. “Addicts are manipulators, but I’m very good at smelling BS,” he said. If a person seems sincere, Obarski will lay out recovery options. It might be 28 days in residential detox. It could be a 12-step program like Narcotics Anonymous, or one that’s deeply Christian, such as Celebrate Recovery. If a patient asks about medication-assisted treatment -- which involves using FDA-approved drugs in conjunction with therapy -- Obarski will connect him or her to doctors certified to prescribe those medications. He has a contract with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board to see overdose patients at the hospital if they express interest and sign a release. He also meets with a small group of inmates every week at the Culpeper County Jail. Obarski helps them try to prepare for what is often a perilous transition to life on the outside without drugs. “When you’re coming out of addiction,” he said, “you’re crawling below the sewer.”
Life after jail
The grim reality is that addicts who have been incarcerated usually restart their lives in a deep hole. They’ve lost their jobs and often their driver’s licenses, frequently due to unpaid court fees and fines. They’ve likely burned bridges with family members and friends, so they may not have a place to live. And, they’re still addicts. The relapse rate soon after leaving jail is high. In fact, a study published last year in the American Journal of Public Health found that in the first two weeks after release, former inmates were 40 times more likely to die of an opioid overdose than someone in the general population. “Recovery, honestly, is a hard life to live,” said Chris Connell, who as program manager for the SpiritWorks Foundation in Warrenton oversees a recovery therapy program at the Fauquier County Jail. One big part of the process, she noted, is staying committed to avoiding the people and
places that shaped their lives as active addicts. “If they don’t have a lot of support on the outside, they fall back into the trap and go right back to what they know,” she said. Often, after being so intensely focused on doing whatever they felt necessary to avoid being “dope sick,” they struggle with the more prosaic details of recovery, such as making and keeping appointments with doctors and counselors. So, peer counselors and coaches — people who themselves have battled with addiction — are seen as critical first contacts, then guides. “For a person like me who has battled with addiction, seeing someone who has been in my shoes and experienced all the turmoil that comes with addiction, and seeing they’re now walking in better shoes, that becomes real,” said Christopher Ronquist, director of the McShin Foundation’s Virginia Recovery and Re-Entry Project at the Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Warren (RSW) Regional Jail in Front Royal. He said that as much as an addict might learn from a doctor or psychiatrist, as much as he or she might be touched by a preacher or “mommy and daddy crying and begging me to get clean,” only someone who has been addicted knows what it’s like to be willing to do anything to get the next fix. “There’s authenticity in this person’s story,” Ronquist said. “You know, this dude knows what it’s like to be me. He’s giving me hope. If it worked for him, maybe, just maybe, it will work for me. Maybe recovery is possible.”
Slow going
The Empowered Communities Opioid Project — a collaboration of George Mason University and Prince William County — is building a network of peers working directly with agencies with which addicts need to interact, from the county health department to the regional Community Services Board to the state probation and parole office to the Prince William Adult Detention Center. Katrina King is one of them. Her title is “senior community coordinator.” But in practice, she is a peer who meets women addicts for the first time when they’re booked at the detention center. She hears their stories, then, to build trust, shares an abbreviated version of her story. King started using opioids for back pain, became addicted, and says that at one point, she was taking up to 40 pills a day, supplemented by heroin when she couldn’t get painkillers. She got caught forging prescriptions and was sentenced to two years in jail. While incarcerated, King learned that her 20-year-old daughter, Kirstyn, had become addicted to opioids. She overdosed and died before King could get her into treatment. See OPIOID, page 7
OPIOID, from page 6 King knows that recovery comes in baby steps. She understands the fragility of raised hopes. So, one of her top priorities is arranging to get newly arrested addicts into treatment as soon as possible after they’re charged. Usually it means finding them a bed in a facility outside the region, sometimes as far away as California. She says she’s frustrated by the minimal residential options in the region for people trying to rebuild their lives. “My job is more stressful because there aren’t enough resources available and not enough connectivity between the different agencies these people need to deal with,” she said. “They also can be fighting something so much more severe than substance abuse. There are often mental health issues. “Things are moving in the right direction,” she added, “but it’s very slow.”
Life after jail
Not surprisingly, most of the progress has come in places where addicts have both the time and motivation to focus on a different, better future. Almost every regional jail or adult detention center in the area now has some kind of peer-to-peer support or counseling for inmates. Some places, such as the RSW Regional Jail, have gone further. Inmates who make it through a Recovery/Re-Entry program overseen by the nonprofit McShin Foundation can qualify for scholarships that, after incarceration, can cover their expenses for a 28-day residential program at McShin’s recovery center in Richmond. That’s followed by a move to a “sober living” home, where they can live temporarily while they look for work. So far, 23 former inmates have each received the $9,800 scholarships. The Prince William Adult Detention Center, meanwhile, has operated a special Drug Offender Rehabilitation Module (DORM) since 1991 for male inmates, and since 1995 for females. Men live in a building separate from the general jail population, while the women are in the main building, but in a section for low- and medium-risk offenders. Both have access to a range of therapy treatments in the four-month program, including sessions focus-
ing on moral reasoning and decision-making, recovering from trauma, avoiding violence and building family relationships. The program has been effective in reducing recidivism — in fiscal year 2019, 84 percent of former DORM inmates were able to stay out of the detention center for at least a year, according to Sara Wheeler, program manager for Drug Offender Recovery Services. That compares with about 50 percent for the general jail population. But the stats for how many follow up with treatment after they leave jail is less impressive — fewer than half, said Wheeler. “It’s really a high-risk time for them,” she said. “A lot go astray when they first get out. It’s not uncommon for people who have been really successful in the DORM program, and they get out and you see them panhandling just down the street.”
‘Changing face of addiction’
Peer coaches and counselors in the region will tell you that any kind of sober-living arrangement can still stir up community resistance, even though as King points out, “If anything, you’ve got pretty safe neighbors with people in recovery. They’re not allowed to use anything or they’re expelled.” For all the raised awareness about addiction, certain stigmas persist. But the Rev. Jan Brown feels hopeful about where things are headed. She is a deacon in the Episcopal Church and founder and executive director of SpiritWorks, an addiction recovery foundation based in Williamsburg, Va., with an office in Warrenton. She is also a recovering addict who hasn’t used drugs or alcohol since 1987. The most promising shift she sees in public perception is the recognition that recovery is a process with many ups and downs and that addiction is a chronic illness. “The negative pushback is beginning to change as the face of addiction is changing,” Brown said. “It’s not ‘those people’ anymore. It’s my child, or my colleague’s son or daughter, or my husband. There can be a sense of hopelessness that leads people to believe that people don’t get better, that they’re going to struggle their whole lives. “And that,” she said, “is just not true.”

Billions of pills Last July, the Washington Post published its analysis of a Drug Enforcement Administration database that tracks every pain pill sold in the United States. The Post found that between 2006 and 2012, the largest drug companies distributed 76 billion oxycodone and hydrocodone pills. In Virginia’s Piedmont region, more than 118 million painkillers were prescribed and sold during that period. Here’s how that breaks down by communities, based on sales by pharmacies or doctors.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Police investigate fatal shooting in Dumfries Police have identified the victim of the fatal shooting in Dumfries Monday as a 19-year-old Woodbridge man. Officers are not yet releasing the teen’s name and are still actively pursuing leads, Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman for the Prince William County Police Department, said Tuesday. Officers responded to the 16900 block of Porters Inn Drive at about
9:47 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16, to investigate a shooting. When they arrived, they found the victim suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers provided the victim immediate first aid before pronouncing him dead on scene, police said. Several witnesses reported hearing gunshots in the area. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Prince William County Police at 703-792-6500.
Police investigate stabbings in Manassas, Dumfries One man is behind bars, and police are still looking for another in connection with two weekend stabbings. On Sunday, Sept. 15, officers responded to a home in the 7800 block of Gregory Court in Manassas at 12:45 a.m. after the victim, a 29-year-old woman, told police that she was stabbed after a male family member made threats toward her 15-year-old son. The man grabbed a kitchen knife and was headed toward the teen’s room when the woman intervened. The woman was stabbed multiple times in the upper body. She eventually disarmed the man and yelled for help. Police arrived and took the man into custody. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment. Juan Contreras Bonilla, 57, of
Manassas, was being held without bond Monday on charges of aggravated malicious wounding in connection with the incident, according to a Prince William County police press release. The other stabbing was reported to police at 9:05 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13. Police responded to the 3300 block of Pine Bluff Drive in Dumfries after the victim, a 29-year-old man, reported that he and another man were involved in a verbal altercation. During the encounter, the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times before witnesses intervened and separated the two men. The suspect fled the scene. The victim was transported to a local area hospital for treatment of the non-life-threatening injuries.
Police: Man brandished handgun on Old Bridge Road Police responded to the area near Old Bridge Road and Cricket Lane in Woodbridge at 11:08 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, after a 48-year-old man reported that another driver flashed his handgun toward him. The man said he was driving west on Old Bridge Road when a silver Toyota Highlander changed lanes quickly causing him to swerve. The man and the driver of the Toyota were involved in a verbal altercation that escalated when the suspect
brandished a handgun towards the man, according to a Prince William County police press release. The man then turned onto Smoketown Road, and the suspect continued driving on Old Bridge Road. There were no shots fired and no injuries reported. The investigation continues. Police are looking for a Hispanic man, approximately 40 years old, with a hat over short black hair, sunglasses and a goatee in connection with the incident.
Police investigate shooting at Manassas convenience store Manassas police are investigating a report of shots fired at a convenience store in the City of Manassas. Officers responded to Mike’s Quick Mart, 9642 Grant Ave., at about 9:37 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 12, for a report of a shooting. The investigation revealed two suspects fired shots during an altercation with an-
other group of individuals, Officer Sarah Maroney, spokeswoman for the City of Manassas Police Department, said in a news release. No injuries were reported. All parties fled the scene before police arrived. The business sustained minor property damage. The investigation continues, Maroney said.
Middle school student charged after bomb threat A 13-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a potential threat of violence at a Dale City middle school last week, according to police. On Thursday, Sept. 12, a school resource officer at Beville Middle, located at 4901 Dale Boulevard, received information about a possible threat of violence at the school. The investigation revealed a student used a social media app to make “a
statement of potential violence to the school and sent it to other students,” according to a Prince William County Police Department news release. The SRO identified the student and determined the risk was not credible. The student was charged with threats to bomb, the release said. The student’s name was not released because he is a juvenile.

Study recommends raises for 1,600 county employees By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County Executive Chris Martino has asked the board of supervisors to restructure the county’s employee classification system – a move that would result in pay raises for nearly half of the county’s employees. The changes would not affect police officers, firefighters or employees of the county’s school division. But 1,627 employees who work for county administration, libraries, the parks and recreation department and other county agencies would be included in the changes, which were outlined during a work session the board of supervisors held Tuesday, Sept. 10. The recommendation stems from a directive the board gave Martino back in April 2017 to assess the county’s current employee pay classification system, which was last updated in the 1990s. About 1,000 county employees would receive an average 3% pay increase under the study’s recommendations at the cost of about $4.3 mil-
lion. The remaining 627 employees impacted are provisional or hourly workers whose pay raises would total about $600,000. The county hired Gallagher Benefit Services Inc. to conduct the classification and compensation study to address equity, legal compliance, compression and competitiveness for the county’s civilian workforce. During the Sept. 10 work session, Ronnie Charles, managing partner for the firm, said the county’s current compensation system is “somewhat antiquated.” Based on the study, the firm recommends switching to a new classification structure called the “decision band method” to ensure internal job equity, regardless of race, gender or age, and to keep Prince William competitive for employee talent in the Northern Virginia region. The supervisors were asked to adopt the new system in two phases, beginning Jan. 4, 2020. The first phase would bring employee salaries up to the minimum salary of the new pay band at the
cost of $4.9 million. Martino said the overall costs of the proposed pay raises are still being calculated and are expected to match the size of a 2016 public safety compensation study that led to a restructuring of salaries for police officers, firefighters and correctional employees. That restructuring cost about $13 million, and the raises went into effect last year. “Addressing retention and recruitment in all of our agencies is vital to the board’s strategic vision for a community of choice,” Martino said. The supervisors were initially scheduled to take action on the compensation study during their next meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 17. But Supervisors Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, and Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, said they needed more time to deliberate. “We’ve got to figure out how we’re going to fund it before we vote on it because I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” Lawson said. “I’m not ready to vote on this next week.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com
Woodbridge Army officer launches bid for U.S. Senate
Cavazos leaves Haymarket Town Council
By Daniel Berti
By James Ivancic
Times Staff Writer
Bond Cavazos resigned from Haymarket Town Council and the town’s architectural review board on Sept. 9, citing the impending birth of her child but also noting she often stood alone in her opposition to council decisions. Cavazos’ resignation from the two boards took effect Tuesday, Sept. 10. Cavazos was elected to her first term on council in June 2018. Her two-year term ends June 30, 2020. The town charter calls for the remaining council members to fill the vacancy within 45 days. Haymarket has a six-member council, which selects one of its members to serve as vice mayor. The town’s elected mayor presides at council meetings. David Leake is the current mayor. Cavazos read a statement announcing her resignation during council members’ time just before the end of the Sept. 9 regular monthly meeting. Cavazos said that from the beginning she has worked to preserve the history of the town and promote small business. But she said on most issues. “I’ve stood alone in opposition to positions taken by the mayor and most council members. It is exhausting knowing that I may always be one of possibly two ‘no’ votes on too many important issues where I think council is completely out of step with the desires of its residents as expressed during citizens’ time. One voice on the council cannot affect change, mostly because of the lockstep marching to the mayor’s drumbeat.” Cavazos recently voted against allowing the demolition of a building at 6706 Jefferson St., a former home left standing after six others declared blighted in the same block
Thomas Speciale, a U.S. Army reservist from Woodbridge, has announced his candidacy for U.S. Senate, joining an already crowded field of Republican primary candidates aiming to take down current U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat. Virginia hasn’t had a Republican U.S. Senator since John Warner retired in 2009. The last Republican to run for one of the state’s two U.S. Senate seats was Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, who lost to Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in 2018 by 16 points. There are now six Republicans vying to run against Warner in 2020, including former U.S. Rep. Scott Taylor, who lost his 2nd Congressional District seat to Democrat Elaine Luria in 2018. In a statement announcing his candidacy, Speciale outlined his reasons for joining the race. “I’m running for the United States Senate because I’m angry. I’m angry because the Democratic party has worked for 50 years to destroy our country from the inside. I swore an oath to defend all Americans all the way back in 1987. This is the fight we are in. I’m not just fighting for the Republicans or the conservatives. I’m getting in the fight for all Virginians,” Speciale said. “I am fighting for all Americans. The constitution doesn’t make a distinction – liberal, conservative, Democrat or Republican, black or white or brown, gay or straight, rich or poor. Neither do I, I never have. I’m fighting to get back our American dream, a dream the Democrats are working to destroy.” Speciale, 50, who resides in Woodbridge with his wife and children, has served in the mili-

were allowed to be torn down. The 4-to-1 vote at the August meeting reversed a denial to demolish by the ARB. The house at 6706 Jefferson St. hasn’t been torn down yet. The town has received a proposal to build a four-story Hilton hotel within the block where the demolished buildings stood. Originally planned as a six-story hotel, the height was reduced to comply with the town’s 50-foot height limit. Leake has supported the hotel proposal, which would have meeting space and a café. “It would bring an economic revitalization to our downtown district by serving as a tourism anchor and destination,” Leake said in recent text message. “With a well-known name as a Hilton, this project would help assist our current small businesses to thrive, help fill the current retail and office vacancies within the town.” Leake said his review of Cavazos’ voting record shows that she voted with the majority 87.9 percent of the time.

tary for three decades in the Army Reserves as an intelligence officer. He has never before run for public office. In his announcement, Speciale called the last three Republican candidates for top-level statewide office “career politicians who had run for political office for decades.” “All three lost,” he said. Outside of the military Speciale has worked as a media relations manager for a nonprofit, and as facility operations manager for IBM. He has also owned rental properties. He also owns and operates a small firearms safety group called “Responsible Firearms Owners of America.” The five current Republican candidates for U.S. Senate are: Gary Adkins, Alissa Baldwin, Daniel Gade, Taylor and Victor Williams. The primary is scheduled for June 9, 2020. The general election will take place Nov. 3, 2020.

Guest Opinion
Farmers markets and assault weapons don’t mix
Letters to the Editor
Fate of state gun laws on the ballot Nov. 5 In the aftermath of the Virginia Beach gun massacre, Gov. Ralph Northam called the General Assembly into special session to consider commonsense gun safety initiatives. In addition, the State Crime Commission, which is controlled by Republicans, conducted a hearing regarding possible gun safety legislation. Although both the House and the Senate are controlled by Republicans, there was some hope that corrective actions would be considered, and some passed into laws. Among the Northam initiatives were a requirement for universal background checks, reinstatement of Virginia’s one-handgun-a-month law, a ban on assault-style firearms and measures aimed at preventing children from accessing firearms. These are the types of legislation being talked about in Washington since the El Paso and Dayton gun massacres that took 31 lives. The special session was held, the Republican-controlled General Assembly met for 90 minutes and refused to even take a vote. And the State Crime Commission continues to study the matter. All of the elective offices in the General Assembly will be decided
in the upcoming election in November. If the Republicans retain control the General Assembly, the public outcry for gun safety legislation will again likely be ignored. To make matters worse, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate refuses to take a vote on initiatives similar to those that were blocked in Virginia. Polls show the public overwhelmingly wants these initiatives enacted into law. The massacre continued into Odessa, Texas, recently, and Mr. Trump has stuck with the NRA position: no need to do anything. Unfortunately, the CEO of the National Rifle Association has contacted President Trump and requested these initiatives not be considered. President Trump obeyed, and the voices of millions of Americans were again ignored. The NRA recently sent another $200,000 to Virginia Republicans as a campaign contribution. Are we going to support Northam’s commonsense proposals or again rubber-stamp the NRA??? Please vote accordingly on Nov. 5. KEVIN M. RAYMOND Woodbridge
Facebook Feedback Last week’s page 1 story about a regional report citing the need for 30,000 homes in Prince William County by 2030 sparked more than 100 comments and nearly as many shares. Here’s what people were saying: Patricia Viggiano-Ford: Are any of these homes affordable/ low income? No I’m not joking. Manassas and Manassas Park need more affordable housing for low income families. Eric S. Harmon: We are in the DC-metro area; this is to be expected. Do you think these small communities will stay small forever?
Look at Burke and Springfield 20 years ago. Embrace it, and watch home values continue to rise. This also means job security. Nicole Bullock McGee: My seventh grader spends her day in a trailer because they don’t have room for them inside the building. Our roads are crowded and overused, but, yes, let’s continue to add more and more homes without improving the infrastructure to support the ones we have. Birgit Campana: We need to slow the roll. We need more businesses and less homes. How about catching up on our infrastructure for crikes sake!!
Every Saturday morning, my father and 12 year-old son go to the Alexandria Farmer’s Market. My son gets cookies. My dad gets ham biscuits. A few weeks ago, they brought me some homemade salsa. More recently, they got something else. Four men in a group called “The Right to Bear Arms” showed up at the Alexandria City Farmers Market carrying AR-15 assault rifles outfitted with scopes and bipods for sniping. According to a video by one of the group members, they staged this action to “educate people” about gun rights and “exercising our constitutional rights without fear to do so.” The video is also filled with the usual references to freedom and the government taking away rights if you do not use them. The man also indicated the group intended to do these kind of “monthly walks.” While the current president has lowered the bar for socially acceptable political conduct, and while the display was technically legal, it was outrageous. It never escapes me that Lee Boyd Malvo and John Muhammad, better known as the “D.C. snipers,” terrorized Northern Virginia for two weeks using an AR-15. Every time I hear that word, it triggers memories for me of the 10 people who were murdered and three others, including a 13-year-old, who Malvo and Muhammad shot in the region in 2002. Those memories have only been reinforced by the recent carnage inflicted by the AR-15 including in Poway, Aurora, Orlando, Parkland, Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, Waffle House, San Bernardino, Sutherland Springs, El Paso, Tree of Life and Midland/Odessa two weeks ago. The sight of an AR-15 in public is anything but reassuring. These “education lessons” are extremely dangerous. Perusing a farmers market with an assault rifle in a country that sees an assault rifle-related mass shooting about six times per year is more likely to promote shock, fear and terror than it is likely to “educate” anyone. If anything, the presence of an AR-15 is more likely to incite violence than to deter it. The United States and Virginia are currently being strangled by a small minority that wields political power orders of magnitude larger than its numbers. Background checks are supported by more than 90% of the public. “Red flag” laws that would allow judges to take guns from dangerous persons are supported by over 80%. Laws limiting ammunition clips are supported by over 60% of
SEN. SCOTT SUROVELL
voters. Assault weapon bans have majority support. None of these bills are capable of passing in a Republican-controlled Virginia General Assembly or the U.S. Senate because of internal Republican Party politics. There is no question in my mind that the Right to Bear Arms’ displays at the farmers market were not done to “educate” anyone. They were done to threaten, intimidate and terrorize a community that believes firearms should be more tightly regulated. The First Amendment protects speech, but it does not protect physical threats. While the vast majority of gun owners are law-abiding citizens who would never dream of parading their weapons in public spaces, this incident demonstrates there is a minority who are irresponsible. Similarly, while most people drive safely, there are others who would be happy to drive 100 miles per hour on the Beltway. We have rules to keep our communities safe and control small groups of people who are incapable of being either responsible or exercising self-control. Fairfax County, Arlington County and the City of Alexandria (but not Prince William County) already wisely prohibit loaded rifles from being carried automobiles. But this incident only underscores the need for the commonwealth to prohibit the open carry of assault weapons at a minimum at permitted events or at public assemblages. Alternatively, the commonwealth should consider allowing localities to regulate the public carriage of assault rifles to ensure they are consistent with the expectations of each local community. I am sure we will be taking this up next session in Richmond. In the meantime, my advice for this group called “The Right to Bear Arms” is simple: Go home and stay away. You are doing anything to help your cause. People go to farmers markets to buy local food. They don’t go there for lessons in firearm rights, terrorism, bullying, intimidation or demonstrations of male insecurity.

Cotter’s OT kick helps Pioneers escape Woodbridge, 31-28 By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
Friday the 13th, a full moon, a blackout and an overtime session. All the ingredients were there for a wild and crazy night, and the Patriot-Woodbridge football game didn’t disappoint. After three hours of big plays and momentum swings, the injury-riddled Pioneers prevailed 3128 during overtime on the road in Woodbridge. “I knew it was probably going to come down to something like this,” said Patriot coach Sean Finnerty, whose record improved to 2-1 while dropping the Vikings to 0-2. “We were down four starters coming into the game and we dropped a couple more during the game. I knew it was going to be a war of attrition and if we could make enough little plays we would have a chance,” Finnerty said. Patriot led most of the game, but Woodbridge forced overtime at 28-28 by scoring eight points in the final minute of the fourth quarter. The Pioneers’ first two OT plays backed them up from the 10-yard line to the 30. But the resilient Pioneers moved the ball enough on third down to
“I fell in love with these kids in December when I got the job. They are just a phenomenal group of kids.” PATRIOT COACH SEAN FINNERTY
set up a 32-yard field goal from Michael Cotter and give them a three-point lead. “You don’t get much more of a pressure kick than that,” Finnerty said. “I wanted to get close enough so that Michael had a shot at a field goal. We were able to get Michael in a pretty good situation.” Nonetheless, Woodbridge began its ensuing overtime possession only 10 yards away from the end zone and a potential victory. Patriot hung tough on the first three downs, forcing the Vikings into fourth-and-goal from the 9. Woodbridge inserted Ashur McDuffie at quarterback in place of starter Nazir Armstrong, who moved to receiver for the key down. Just before the snap, Friday the 13th added an eerie touch as the stadium lights went dark. After a few minutes, the lights came back on and See PATRIOT, page 15

Kailin Flanagan had 10 kills in Colgan’s hard-fought win over Patriot Monday.
Flanagan, Thaxton, Wyatt lead Colgan past Patriot in four By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Dropping the first set wasn’t a problem for the Colgan volleyball team Monday night in Manassas. The Sharks responded to win 2325, 25-19, 25-22, 25-23 to remain undefeated in Cardinal District play at 3-0.
Four Colgan players finished with at least seven kills each to boost the Sharks’ record to 8-5. Kailin Flanagan and Sydney Thaxton had 10 kills, while Jennah Wyatt had eight and Jayden had seven. Kristin Lough finished with 24 assists and A.J. Pitts had 16. Defensively, Vanessa Thompson led the Sharks with 22 digs.
Sigh of relief for Manassas Park Brentsville breaks through By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
In a matchup of revived football programs, Manassas Park broke an eight-game losing streak that spanned three years by beating host Park View 42-18 Friday. It was the Cougars’ first varsity football victory since Sept. 15, 2017. With 544 yards of total offense, the Cougars dominated the game thanks to running back Payton Simmons, who ran 19 times for 217 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Andre Kidd, who ran 11 times for 141 yards and TDs. Manassas Park is 1-2 after it canceled its 2018 varsity season 11 days before the Cougars’ first scheduled game due to low player turnout. Park View also canceled its varsity schedule last season.
Rivalry win for Tigers
A fourth-quarter touchdown run by quarterback Guy Hayes and an extra-point kick by Daniel Silva gave the Brentsville Tigers a 21-20 victory Friday at home over Kettle Run. The Tigers had lost 11 straight to the Cougars since 2010. Brentsville’s last previous win over Kettle Run came in the first game of the 2010 season, 17-14.
Brentsville junior outside linebacker Jake Johnson sealed the win with an interception in the final minute. The Cougars (0-2) next host Millbrook (2-1), while Brentsville (1-2) hosts powerful Spotsylvania (3-0).
Battlefield wins first
Sean McCarthy ran for 164 yards and a touchdown Friday to help the Battlefield Bobcats earn their first victory by edging visiting Potomac Falls 16-12. Battlefield (1-1) lost to Westfield 51-0, then had a bye, so they had to wait two weeks to win for first-year coach Scott Girolmo. T.J. Haywood’s 4-yard touchdown run tied the score 6-6 following an early Potomac Falls touchdown. McCarthy’s 1-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter gave Battlefield the lead for good at 13-6.
Stonewall is 2-0
Stonewall Jackson is 2-0 for the first time since 2014 as Xander Albea scored three touchdowns to help the Raiders beat Forest Park 48-7 for the first time in seven years. Stonewall (2-0) broke a fourgame losing streak against the Bruins. Stonewall last beat Forest Park in 2012, winning 21-3. Forest Park is 1-2. Albea ran for 65 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries and added an interception return for a TD.

Pioneers survive valiant Vikings PATRIOT, from page 15 Woodbridge attempted a fade pass to Armstrong. The ball fell harmlessly out of bounds, but pass interference was called against the Pioneers, giving Woodbridge another chance from the 4. The Vikings went back to their power running game featuring Armstrong, but senior linebacker Harry Lucy closed the hole with the help of Patriot’s swarming defense. He wrapped up Armstrong short of the goal line to seal the win for Patriot. “We knew when they lined up overload to the right side that they were going quarterback power,” Lucy said. “Tim [Baldwin] made the excellent call to bump in so I went in A-gap and the quarterback was right there. Everyone did their job and made it easy for me to make the tackle.” Earlier, during the fourth quarter, the Pioneers led 28-20 in the final minute, but Woodbridge inserted McDuffie at quarterback. Several plays later he made a spectacular throw on the run to Kyre Duplessis in the back of the end zone for a touchdown with 14 seconds left. “That is a long time to cover a guy in the back of the end zone,” Finnerty said of defending Duplessis. “That was a lot of perseverance,” Woodbridge coach Gary Wortham Sr. said. “I don’t know if anyone else could have come back to rally like that and take it into overtime. We are try-

The Pioneers changed the pace to open the second half and got the speedy Keith Jenkins into the open field for a 28-yard touchdown scamper to go up 21-7. But Woodbridge mustered up another answer, then did it again, forcing Patriot to continually respond. “It comes down to leaders. Our team leaders didn’t stop,” Finnerty said. “They keep pushing.”
