Abortion, minimum wage at issue in state House race In competitive 31st District race, Ben Balwin (R) takes on progressive Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D) By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
early votes per 100,000 registered voters, compared to 121.9 statewide. Thousands more will likely cast their ballots throughout the week before early voting ends on Saturday, Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. Throughout Virginia, far more people are participating in early voting this year than during the 2017 gubernatorial election. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) and Democratic majorities in the Virginia General Assembly’s House of Delegates and state Senate have greatly expanded early voting access since 2017 by enacting 45 days of no-excuse absentee voting in 2020.
In one of Prince William County’s most competitive races for a local House of Delegates’ seat, a moderate Republican who says he supports COVID-19 vaccine requirements for public sector workers and K-12 students is challenging one of the commonwealth’s most Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st progressive lawmakers. Republican Ben Baldwin, a U.S. Marine veteran, is challenging Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D) in the 31st District, which includes parts of eastern Prince William and southern Fauquier counties. Guzman, 48, is the first Latina immigrant ever to serve in the Virginia House of Delegates. Elected in Ben Baldwin 2017 and re-elected in 2019, she has championed progressive causes like paid sick leave for Virginia workers, immigration reforms such as driver’s privilege cards for undocumented residents and transitioning Virginia’s energy grid away from fossil fuels. Baldwin, 35, is a financial advisor a Merrill Lynch. He has no legislative record but has taken moderate stances on issues like the COVID-19 pandemic and environmental issues compared to other Prince William-area candidates. Still, the two remain split on issues such as abortion access, raising the minimum wage, how best to recover from the pandemic and whether they would repeal a new law allowing public school officials to decide whether to report misdemeanor student offenses to local police.

State reports 8 more local school outbreaks, county adds 6 more deaths Staff Reports Prince William County remained in the high category for community transmission of COVID-19 this past week with 135.9 cases per 100,000 residents – up from 120 last week – a level at which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone over 2 years old wear a mask inside public places. The local health district also reported six more deaths in the past week. Deaths are a lagging indicator and continue to reflect the recent Delta-fueled surge of new cases, which peaked in mid-September and is now waning. The latest fatalities included two residents in their 30s, two in their 70s and two age 80 or older, according to Virginia Department of Health data. The recent losses bring the Prince William Health District’s pandemic death toll to 627. Meanwhile, another six local residents were hospitalized for COVID-19 this past week, including one in their 50s, one in their 60s, two in their 70s and one age 80 or older. No local residents under 50 were hospitalized due to COVID-19 since Oct. 20, according to VDH data. The hospitalizations of five kids and teens ages 19 and under were reported during the previous week.
School outbreaks
The VDH reported eight new outbreaks at K-12 schools in the Prince William Health District, including six more at public schools – for a total of 13 since the start of the school year – and two at private schools. Among Prince William County public schools, the latest outbreaks were reported at Bennett Elementary, Buckland Mills Elementary, Haymar-
ket Elementary, Westridge Elementary, Pennington Traditional School and Unity Braxton Middle School. Bennett Elementary, near the Prince William Fairgrounds in Manassas, has had the largest outbreak so far with 39 cases. The school reverted to virtual instruction during the week of Oct. 11 to 15 after more than 300 staff and students were sent home to quarantine for positive cases or exposures to COVID-19. In-person classes resumed at Bennett on Oct. 18, but the outbreak first appeared on the state dashboard on Friday, Oct. 22. It was first identified by local health district officials on Oct. 13, the VDH says. As of Oct. 22, there were fewer than 10 students and staff members either isolating or in quarantine at Bennett Elementary, according to the school division’s COVID-19 dashboard. Pennington Traditional School, in Manassas, is reporting the second-largest outbreak with 29 cases. The outbreak there was identified on Oct. 12. As of Oct. 22, 22 students and staff were isolating for positive or probable cases of COVID-19, while 30 were in quarantine, according to the school division COVID-19 dashboard. Superintendent LaTanya McDade mentioned the outbreak at Pennington Traditional School during the Oct. 20 school board meeting. McDade said school division officials considered halting extracurricular activities at Pennington but were able to avoid such measures. A letter sent home to parents from Pennington Traditional Principal Amanda Johnson acknowledged a quick rise in cases at the school but said most were reported among students already in quarantine.

Veterans Day parade returns to Manassas By Aileen M. Streng
12th Annual Northern Virginia Veterans Day Parade
Contributing Writer
After a year off due to the pandemic, the Veterans Day parade is returning to Old Town Manassas this year and will be led by two retired Marines and combat veterans who reside in Prince William County: Lt. Gen. Richard Natonski and Cpl. Adam Devine. Although a generation apart, both Natonski, 69, and Devine, 31, said they feel honored to serve alongside one another as grand marshals for the parade. Natonski, who lives near Lake Ridge, was a division commander during the Iraq War and was one of the highest-ranking officers in the Marine Corps when he retired in 2010. Devine, who lives in Nokesville, was wounded by an IED while on a foot patrol in Afghanistan in 2011. Devine said he was surprised to be asked to be a grand marshal. “It’s a great honor. It’s great to be a lowly little corporal up there with someone as accomplished as [Natonski],” he said. “I thought it was very nice to be named as one of the grand marshals,” said Natonski, who previously served as grand marshal for a Memorial Day parade in his home state of Connecticut. That parade “was what you picture America to look like,” he said. “I think Manassas will be, too.” “I would have been happy to see [Devine] as grand marshal,” he added. “I’m honored to be beside him.” Natonski has lived in the Lake Ridge area on and off throughout his military career. He has three children who live in the area, including one who graduated from Woodbridge Senior High School. He grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut, graduated from the University of Louisville and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Ma-

What’s happening: There are 64 entries in this year’s parade. They include Blue and Gray Military Vehicle Trust, Chip Rohr World War II vehicle, multiple American Legion Posts, POW MIA Tribute truck with 16th District American Legion commander, Korean Vietnam War Veterans Association, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 617, Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club of NOVA, local high school marching bands and JROTC units and many more. Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Richard Natonski, above, and retired Marine Cpl. Adam Devine will be cogrand marshals for the parade. rine Corps in 1973. In 2002, Natonski commanded the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade and deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the brigade was renamed Task Force Tarawa and participated in the Battle of Nasiriyah, providing support for the rescue of Army PFC Jessica Lynch and five other captured soldiers. The unit also supported two Iraqi provinces after combat operations ended. In August 2004, Natonski assumed command of the 1st Marine Division in Iraq. While there, he led the ground assault of the second Battle of Fallujah, ran counter insurgency operations in the Al Anbar province and supported the Iraqi national
elections in 2005. In 2008, Natonski assumed command of the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command and Fleet Marine Forces, Atlantic. He retired in 2010 after 37 years on active duty. “[On Veterans Day,] I would like to see people remember the sacrifices that veterans have made for the country, for their families,” Natonski said. “My co-marshal has certainly made a tremendous sacrifice to serve and to give back to what we all consider a pretty good country.” Devine grew up in Dixon, Illinois, and attended two years of college before enlisting in the Marine Corps in 2010. He was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment. In 2011, he deployed to the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. See VETERANS DAY, page 18

VP Kamala Harris stumps for McAuliffe in Dumfries ‘Don’t Texas Virginia,’ Harris says, calling governor’s race ‘tight.’ By Daniel Berti
Times staff Writer
Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to the Town of Dumfries Thursday, Oct. 21, to campaign with Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who is running in an increasingly close race for Virginia governor. More than 600 people attended the event, which was held outside a fire station in Dumfries. “This race is tight,” Harris told a diverse and enthusiastic crowd. “And we got to make it clear, Virginia, that we’re paying attention. We got to make it clear that we’re not taking anything for granted.” Harris said the Virginia’s governor’s race would have national significance, pointing to a new Texas state law banning nearly all abortions. Harris said such a law could be passed in Virginia if Republicans take control of the governor’s mansion. “Don’t Texas Virginia,” Harris said. McAuliffe, who is locked in a neck-and-neck race with Republican Glenn Youngkin, is bringing in Democratic heavyweights in the final weeks of the race, including former president Barack Obama and President Joe Biden. Biden won Virginia by 10 points in 2020, but polls show McAuliffe with only a razor-thin lead, raising concerns about lagging enthusiasm among Democratic voters. During the Thursday, Oct. 21 rally, McAuliffe touted his record on jobs, healthcare and criminal justice reform during his last term as Virginia governor from 2014 to 2018, and outlined plans to increase teacher pay, require COVID-19 vaccinations for workers and protect abortion rights if he is elected again. Virginia governors are barred from serving consecutive terms. “The biggest thing I’m going to

Former Va. governor Terry McAuliffe, who is vying to win a rare second term, campaigned Thursday, Oct. 21, in Dumfries with Vice President Kamala Harris. The outdoor event drew more than 600 people. lean in on is education, folks. We have got to take our education system to the next level right now in Virginia,” McAuliffe said. “I promise every teacher in Virginia; I’m going to raise teacher pay above the national average for the first time in the history of the Commonwealth of Virginia.” Virginia is currently ranked last in the country for average teacher pay when compared to the average pay of all Virginia residents. Youngkin has also pledged to increase teacher salaries if elected. Youngkin has also sought to energize conservatives by proposing a ban on the teaching of “critical race theory” in Virginia schools, although it is not a part of Virginia’s education curriculum. McAuliffe said he would be “a brick wall” on protecting abortion rights in Virginia and would prevent a Texas-style abortion ban from happening in Virginia. Texas lawmakers have outlawed abortion past six weeks – often before a woman realizes she’s pregnant. Youngkin has promised to “go on offense” on abortion if elected, saying he would support a fetal pain law
in Virginia that would ban abortions past 20 weeks. Youngkin’s running mate, lieutenant governor candidate Winsome Sears, has said she would support a Texas-style, near total ban on abortion. McAuliffe also said Thursday that he would require healthcare workers and educators to get vaccinated against COVID-19 if elected. Just over 62% of Virginians are fully vaccinated. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends all Americans over the age of 12 be vaccinated against the disease that has killed more than 730,000 Americans. “I believe every doctor, every nurse, every teacher ought to be vaccinated here in the Commonwealth of Virginia,” McAuliffe said. McAuliffe and Youngkin have clashed repeatedly over whether they would require workers to get the vaccine. McAuliffe called Youngkin an “anti-vaxxer” during Thursday’s campaign event. Youngkin has said he is vaccinated and has encouraged others to get the vaccine but has stopped short of supporting a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for anyone.
Prince William outpaces Va. in early voting VOTING, from page 1 Both Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe and Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin are encouraging Virginians to vote early this year. Across the state, just under 725,000 Virginians had voted early either in-person or by mail as of Sunday, Oct. 24. That is more than three times the total number of early votes cast in 2017, but far less than the 2.8 million early votes cast in the 2020 presidential election during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Virginia’s “capital region,” which includes Richmond and the surrounding counties and cities, has so far logged the most early votes per capita of any region in the state. About 137.1 early votes per 100,000 registered voters had been cast in those localities as of Oct. 24, according to VPAP. Northern Virginia is a close second with 131.4 votes cast per 100,000 registered voters. Within Northern Virginia, Fairfax City is leading the region with 172.5 votes per 100,0000 registered
voters, according to VPAP. Voter turnout is nearly always higher in presidential elections than in off-year statewide elections. Turnout reached 75% in Virginia in the 2020 presidential election, compared to just 48% in 2017, the last time Virginians elected a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general as well as all 100 members of the House of Delegates. Political pundits say it’s difficult if not impossible to discern whether the early voting shows any advantage to either the Republican or Democratic tickets. On Oct. 14, political analysts at the University of Virginia Center for Politics wrote that “early voting is down a good deal compared to last year’s presidential race, as expected.” They also cautioned that drawing any conclusions from early vote totals in Virginia would be difficult “because the lion’s share of Virginians have traditionally voted on Election Day, aside from last year during the pandemic.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com
McAuliffe compared Youngkin to former president Donald Trump, calling him a “Trump acolyte.” Youngkin has attempted to walk a fine line when it comes to the former president, whose four years in the White House propelled Virginia Democrats to big wins in 2017 and 2019. Earlier in the campaign, Youngkin stated Trump “represents so much of why I am running” and he received Trump’s endorsement in July. Del. Hala Ayala, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, and Attorney General Mark Herring (D), who is seeking a third term, also spoke during the event. Ayala is a longtime Prince William County resident. Whoever wins the race for lieutenant governor will be the first woman of color elected to statewide office in the commonwealth. Ayala said Sears’ support for severely restricting abortion rights and not enacting vaccine mandates would “take Virginians backwards by criminalizing our bodies and our right to choose” and “derail public health.” Sears has refused to say whether or not she is vaccinated and has said she is opposed to requiring anyone to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Early voting is underway in Virginia. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 2. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

School board clarifies protections for transgender students By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William School Board took action Wednesday to expand the school division’s existing nondiscrimination policy to ensure transgender students are referred to by their preferred names and pronouns and allowed to use school facilities, including bathrooms and locker rooms, that match their gender identity. The board voted 6-1 on Wednesday, Oct. 20, to expand Policy 738, which will be implemented by five different school division regulations. While the updated protocols for transgender students garnered the most attention, the regulations also spell out how the school division will handle student allegations of sexual misconduct and ensure equal access to programs and activities regardless of students’ abilities or status under several categories, including “race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition, including lactation, age, marital or parental status, military status disability, genetic information or any other basis prohibited by law.” Only Gainesville Representative Jenn Wall voted against the expanded policy. Wall is the only sitting school board member who was endorsed by the Prince William County Republican Committee. Neabsco
Representative Diane Raulston was absent from the meeting. Wall, who is an attorney, said she understood the school division was bound by state law and case law to expand the nondiscrimination policy but said she had concerns about its implementation. The policy change and new regulations were first presented to the school board during its Oct. 8 meeting and were initially on the board’s “consent agenda,” items generally adopted with a single vote and without comment. School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef (At Large) said Thursday he decided before the meeting to pull the policy’s adoption from the consent agenda in order to allow a fuller discussion of the need for the changes. Lateef said the aim of the policy change was to provide nondiscrimination protections to all students and to bring the school division’s existing practices in compliance with new laws. “The policy changes we made last night bring clarity to our ability to [comply] with new state law and federal law and case law,” Lateef said in an interview after the meeting. “It brings clarity and removes the vagueness that some could argue would be there if we didn’t do it.” The policy builds on the school board’s move in 2017 to expand its nondiscrimination policy to extend protections to students and staff
Police: 7-year-old Manassas girl dies after Hoadly Road crash Both vehicles had a yellow light when they collided in the intersection at Galveston Court Staff Reports A 7-year-old Manassas girl has died from injuries she sustained in an Oct. 12 traffic crash on Hoadly Road in Manassas, according to police. The girl had been hospitalized since the crash, and police were notified on Thursday, Oct. 21, that she had died, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, Prince William County Police Department spokesman. The crash was first reported to police at 8:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 12. The investigation determined that the 7-year-old girl was sitting in a booster seat in the middle of the back seat of a 2003 Toyota Camry when the vehicle collided with a 2005 Subaru Forester at the intersection of Hoadly Road and Galveston Court, Perok said in a news release. The Toyota Camry, which was driven by a 29-year-old Manassas woman, was heading north on Hoadly and attempting to make a left-turn at a yellow light when it collided with the Subaru, which was heading south on Hoadly Road and also traveling through a yellow light, the release said. The Camry was occupied by the driver and three children, the 7-year-old girl, a 6-year-old girl and a 2-yearold girl. All occupants were transported to area hospitals for treatment. The driver and the two other girls, both of whom were secured in child seats, sustained minor injuries, the release said. The driver of the Subaru, a 45-year-old Manassas woman, was not injured. No charges have been filed in connection with the crash, a decision that was made after consultation with Commonwealth Attorney’s Amy Ashworth’s office, the release said.
based on gender identity and sexual orientation. The main difference is that the policy will now be carried out by specific protocols that conform with a “model policies” adopted by the Virginia Department of Education to comply with the Virginia Human Rights Act, which was adopted by state lawmakers earlier this year. The Virginia Department of Education’s model policies detail steps schools must take to protect transgender students in schools, including not communicating details about a student’s sexual orientation or gender identity with parents without a student’s permission. The VDOE policy states that “school personnel shall treat information relating to a student’s transgender status as being particularly sensitive, shall not disclose it to other students and parents and shall only disclose to other school personnel with a legitimate educational interest.” Prince William County’s new regulation requires that a parent be involved in requests by a student to use a different name or pronouns or access school facilities based on their gender identity. If a student is hesitant to involve their parents, the school division will offer to facilitate a discussion through its counseling staff. According to state law, schools had until this school year to adopt new policies to comply with the
new state law. Although the issue has drawn substantial crowds and opposition in other school divisions around the state, only a few people spoke in opposition to the expanded policy during the Oct. 20 meeting. School board members stressed that the policies are needed both for fairness and to comply with new laws and that not changing the policy would open the school division to costly lawsuits. Potomac School Board member Justin Wilk noted that the Gloucester County school division paid a $1.3 million settlement to former student Gavin Grimm, a transgender man who sued his school board back in 2015 for violating his civil rights by prohibiting him from using the boys’ bathroom. The case was ultimately decided last June when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case, letting stand a lower court decision ruling in favor of Grimm’s case. “Gloucester County schools denied the basic dignity and support of one of its students and ultimately did not follow the law in protecting their students. Every student matters. I will not follow the illegal steps of Gloucester and deny students their legal protections under both the U.S. and the Commonwealth of Virginia Constitutions,” Wilk said. “We are simply following the law.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com
POLICE BRIEFS 2 Fredericksburg men killed in I-95 crash following police chase Two Fredericksburg men in their 20s died early Sunday after crashing their car on Interstate 95 near Woodbridge amid a police pursuit, according to Virginia State Police. The driver, Curtis Armstead Jr., 24, of Fredericksburg, and Miguel D. Jenkins, 23, of Fredericksburg, were pulled out of their Dodge Charger by Virginia state troopers before the vehicle became engulfed in flames. But both succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene, according to Corinne Geller, spokeswoman for Virginia State Police. The crash occurred at about 3:45 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 24, near the I-95 ramp at Exit 60, leading to Va. 123, near Woodbridge, Geller said in a news release. Armstead allegedly refused to stop for a Virginia State Trooper who attempted to pull him over for speeding on Interstate 495.
State troopers clocked the Dodge Charger traveling 72 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone on I-495 near Eisenhower Avenue. The trooper activated his emergency lights and siren for the attempted traffic stop. The Charger continued south onto I-95 and then took the Exit 160 for Va. 123 “at an excessive speed,” the release said. Armstead lost control on the ramp, ran off the right side of the road and struck the Jersey wall. The vehicle then rode up the cement wall and struck the bottom of the overpass for the I-95 Express Lanes. The impact caused the vehicle to catch fire, the release said. A white, powdery substance in a bag was located with the men, the release said. The pursuit and crash remain under investigation, the release said.
Police: 33-year-old Falls Church man dies after high-speed crash in Manassas A 33-year-old Falls Church man died early Friday after he lost control of his vehicle on Lomond South Drive in Manassas and struck two parked cars and eventually a downed utility pole, according to police. Officers responded to the scene of the crash, located on Lomond South Drive near Spotsylvania Street in Manassas, at 1:44 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 22. The investigation revealed that the driver of a 2020 Dodge Challenger was traveling at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control, crossed over the center line and struck two unoccupied parked vehicles, Master Police Officer
Renee Carr said in a news release. The Challenger first struck a 2014 Toyota Sienna and then a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. The force of the collision caused the Pathfinder to strike and knock down a utility pole. The Challenger then struck the downed utility pole before coming to rest within the utility wires, Carr said in a news release. The driver, identified as Miguel Angel Campos II, 33, of Falls Church, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing a seatbelt, the release said. The investigation continues.

Abortion, minimum wage, gas tax divide local state House candidates HOUSE, from page 1
COVID-19 recovery and vaccine requirements
Baldwin and Guzman both say they support requiring K-12 students and some workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Guzman said she would support a requirement for frontline and essential workers “who interact with the public everyday” to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or face weekly testing and would “strongly encourage” vaccine requirements for students and educators in K-12 public schools. Baldwin said he supports a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for Virginia’s public sector workers and public-school teachers and would encourage all K-12 students to receive the vaccine by the end of the school year if the federal government approves the COVID vaccine for children ages 5-11. But the candidates’ plans for recovering from the pandemic are different. Baldwin said the best way to recover is to cut or lower Virginia’s gasoline tax and grocery tax that he said “hit working families in Virginia.” Baldwin said he would use the commonwealth’s record-breaking, $2.6 billion revenue surplus to fund those tax breaks. “That is $2.6 billion of excess taxation taken from working families and businesses in Virginia. We can afford to let Virginians keep more of their own hard-earned money,” Baldwin said. Guzman said supporting small businesses with financial assistance, safely re-opening schools and expanding access to affordable healthcare and paid sick leave would continue to be her top priorities, if re-elected. She said she had already voted to approve millions in funding for businesses and increased K-12 school funding to help them re-open safely. “Building back better from the pandemic is my top priority. State lawmakers can support small business recovery, as the House of Delegates has already successfully provided $400 million in funds for businesses to survive and thrive as we recover from COVID-19,” Guzman said.
Abortion access
Guzman has been a supporter of expanding access to abortion and reproductive healthcare in Virginia since taking office 2017 and has been endorsed by NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia in 2017, 2019 and, again, in 2021. Guzman said in an interview that she fully supports “the right to choose.” “I had a child as a teenager, but that was my choice to make. I do not think it is the responsibility of legislators to be interfering in private medical decisions between individuals and their doctors,” Guzman said. Baldwin said he supports banning abortion past 20 weeks in Virginia with “reasonable exceptions such as rape, incest and to prevent the death of the mother.”
Most Republican candidates running for Prince William County-area state House seats have said they support enacting some abortion restrictions in Virginia but have offered different responses about how restrictive they should be. Republican candidates Chris Stone, who is challenging Del. Danica Roem (D) in the 13th District, and Tim Cox, who is challenging Briana Sewell in the 51st District, both support a total ban on abortion in Virginia, according to candidate surveys published by the Prince William-Manassas Family Alliance.
Minimum wage
Baldwin said he is opposed to raising Virginia’s minimum wage and instead favors “market-based solutions to wages,” noting that a restaurant chain in his neighborhood recently raised their starting wage above $15 an hour. “The market is already adjusting to reflect wage demand, and we need to allow it to continue,” Baldwin said. The Virginia General Assembly voted in 2020 to increase the commonwealth’s minimum wage incrementally to $15 by 2026. The minimum wage increased from the federal minimum of $7.25 to $9.50 in May 2021. It is scheduled to increase again in January 2022 to $11. Guzman, who voted in favor of the increase, said “Virginians working full-time should not be living in poverty.” “Here in northern Virginia, we know that $7.25 is not a livable income. We want parents to have one job, so they can spend time with their children and not juggle two to three separate jobs to compile an income,” Guzman said. “Virginia is one of the wealthiest states in the country. We can afford to provide a stable living for everyone.”
Environmental issues
Baldwin is among conservatives who acknowledge climate change is real and supports transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind and solar. But Baldwin also said in recent debate that he supports generating power from natural gas, a greenhouse-gas-emitting energy source, and in a separate interview said the number and size of solar facilities sited in Virginia should be limited to avoid clear-cutting forests. Baldwin said the Virginia Clean Economy Act, the omnibus energy bill enacted in 2020 that outlines a path to zero carbon emissions by 2050, is “a disaster for Virginia families,” citing potential increases to residential utility bills. State regulators projected in 2020 the plan could increase utility costs for Dominion ratepayers $800 annually by 2030. If elected, Baldwin said he would like to amend the VCEA to “restore oversight for the State Corporation Commission on utility rates” and “limit average increases on residential bills.” Guzman is a supporter of the VCEA. She said she was proud of the strides the General Assembly has made to protect the environment and create a path to 100% renewable energy since 2020. Guzman said the
impacts of climate change in Virginia are already being felt along the coastline where sea-level rise is causing more frequent flooding. “Increasing renewable energy production creates good paying jobs, provides a way for Virginians to pay less for utilities, and helps ensure we have a healthy planet to pass on to our children and grandchildren,” Guzman said. “Climate change repercussions will be a reality for Virginia. We know that we are deeply at risk due to sea level rise.” Guzman said “keeping utility costs affordable is a top priority,” citing a recent settlement between the SCC, Attorney General Mark Herring and Dominion Energy that will likely see the energy giant returning $330 million to residential customers in the coming years. Herring and state regulators allege Dominion took in more than $1 billion in excess profits between 2017 and 2020.
Reporting certain student crimes to police
Baldwin has criticized a bill backed by Guzman in 2020 that allows school principals not to report student offenses that could be deemed misdemeanors to local police. It was one of several new laws championed by state Sen. Jennifer McClellan, D-9th, of Richmond, that aimed to address racial disparities in school punishment. Black and Hispanic students
are arrested and referred to police at disproportionately higher rates than their white peers, according to mounting research and reporting on the issue. The bill, House Bill 257, recently became a flashpoint in the Virginia governor’s race after a 15-year-old boy was accused and later charged of sexually assaulting a girl in a bathroom at Broad Run High School in Loudoun County last May. The same teen is alleged to have sexually assaulted another girl in October after being transferred to another Loudoun County high school while awaiting trial for the first assault. After the incident became public, some elected officials and political candidates, including Republican candidate for governor Glenn Youngkin and Baldwin, have said they want to repeal McClellan’s bill, even though Loudoun County’s Sheriff’s Department has said both incidents were reported to their officers. Baldwin said the new law “made our schools less safe.” Guzman responded that she found it “despicable” that some Republican candidates are attempting to “mislead the public and politicize this event.” “In the tragic incident in Loudoun County, the crime was reported to the sheriff, following protocol, and unrelated to the outlines of HB 257,” Guzman said.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD (RPS) FILING BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2021-00146
• Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has submitted its 2021 Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”) Filing. The Filing includes Dominion’s RPS Development Plan and requests for approval to construct 13 new utility-scale projects and to enter into 24 new power purchase agreements. • Dominion requests approval of revised Rider CE with a revenue requirement of $71,025,000 over the rate year beginning May 1, 2022, and concluding April 30, 2023. According to Dominion, this amount would increase a typical residential customer’s bill using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by $1.13. • The State Corporation Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on December 13, 2021, at 1 p.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony. • An evidentiary hearing will be held on December 14, 2021, at 9 a.m., either in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, or by electronic means. Further details on this hearing will be provided by subsequent Commission Order. • Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information. During its 2020 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapters 1193 (HB 1526) and 1194 (SB 851) of the 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly. These duplicate Acts of Assembly, known as the Virginia Clean Economy Act (“VCEA”), became effective on July 1, 2020. The VCEA, inter alia, establishes a mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard (“RPS”) for Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) in new § 56-585.5 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”). Subdivision D 4 of Code § 56-585.5 requires Dominion to submit annually to the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) plans and petitions for approval of new solar and onshore wind generation capacity (“RPS Filing”). The Commission must determine whether the RPS Filing is reasonable and prudent, giving due consideration to the following factors: (i) the RPS and carbon dioxide reduction requirements in Code § 56-585.5, (ii) the promotion of new renewable generation and energy storage resources within the Commonwealth, and associated economic development, and (iii) fuel savings projected to be achieved by the plan. The Commission’s final order regarding any RPS Filing is required by Code § 56-585.5 D 4 to be entered by the Commission not more than six months after the date of such filing. On September 15, 2021, Dominion submitted its annual RPS Filing to the Commission (“2021 RPS Filing” or “Petition”). The 2021 RPS Filing requests the Commission: ((i) Approve the Company’s annual plan for the development of new solar, onshore wind, and energy storage resources (“RPS Development Plan”) in connection with the new mandatory RPS program (“RPS Program”) pursuant to Code § 56-585.5 D 4; (ii) Grant certificates of public convenience and necessity (“CPCNs”) and approval to construct and operate 13 utilityscale projects totaling
approximately 661 megawatts (“MW”) of solar and 70 MW of energy storage (“CE-2 Projects”) pursuant to Code § 56-580 D and the Commission’s Filing Requirements in Support of Applications for Authority to Construct and Operate an Electric Generating Facility; (iii) Approve to recover through the Rider CE rate adjustment clause (“RAC”) the costs of (a) the CE-2 Projects and related distribution and transmission interconnection facilities and (b) two small-scale solar projects totaling approximately 4 MW and related interconnection facilities (“CE-2 Distributed Solar Projects”) pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6 (“Subsection A 6”) and the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings of Investor Owned Electric Utilities; (iv) Approve an update to Rider CE for recovery of costs associated with the CE-1 Solar Projects and related interconnection facilities as approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00134; and (v) Make a prudence determination for the Company to enter into 24 power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) for 32 separate solar and energy storage resources totaling approximately 253 MW of solar and 33 MW of energy storage (“CE-2 PPAs”) pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:4. RPS Development Plan Dominion states that its RPS Development Plan reports on the Company’s progress toward meeting the solar, onshore wind, and energy storage development targets outlined in the VCEA and presents the Company’s development plan for solar, onshore wind and energy storage facilities through 2035. The 2021 RPS Filing shows that Dominion has a total of 1,958.1 MW of solar and onshore wind as of August 31, 2021, from facilities that are in operation, under construction, purchased, or proposed for approval, including the proposed CE-2 Projects, the CE-2 Distributed Solar Projects, and the CE-2 PPAs. For energy storage, the 2021 RPS Filing shows the Company has 103 MW of energy storage resources in operation, under construction, purchased, or proposed for approval, including the relevant proposed CE-2 Projects and CE-2 PPAs. The Company’s RPS Development Plan calls for additional investment in solar, onshore wind, and energy storage through 2035. For example, by 2035, Dominion projects it will have 13,765.1 MW of utility-scale solar and onshore wind resources in operation. Dominion also projects it will have 2,700 MW of energy storage resources in operation by 2035. The Company states that it plans to use the renewable energy certificates (“RECs”) produced by the projects and PPAs shown in its RPS Development Plan towards its annual RPS Program requirements. Dominion states that it is uncertain at this time whether sufficient RECs will be available for the 2021 compliance year to meet this requirement and that the Company may be subject to the $75 per megawatt-hour deficiency payment described in Code § 56-585.5 D 5. The Company also provided a consolidated bill analysis calculating the projected monthly bill through 2035 for residential, small general service, and large general service customers for each alternative plan presented in the Company’s 2021 Integrated Resource Plan Update. For Alternative Plan B, which the Company states is consistent with the 2021 RPS Development Plan, for example, the Company projects the monthly bill of a Virginia residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours (“kWh”) per month to be $197.57 by 2035, an increase of $81.39 over the May 1, 2020 level of $116.18, using the methodology approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00134. The Company’s bill projections are not final and all customer rates are subject to regulatory approval. CE-2 Projects The Company seeks CPCNs and approval to construct and operate the

The Company asserts that the CE-2 Projects are needed to comply with the VCEA, to serve customers’ capacity and energy needs, and to comply with carbon regulations. According to the Company, the total estimated costs for the CE-2 Solar Projects are approximately $1.1045 billion, excluding financing costs, or approximately $1,969 per kilowatt (“kW”) at the total 561 MW (nominal AC) rating. Dominion further states that the total estimated costs for the CE-2 Solar and Storage Project and related transmission facilities is approximately $279.7 million, excluding financing costs, or approximately $1,864 per kW at the total 150 MW (nominal AC) rating. For the CE-2 Storage Project and related distribution facilities, the Company states that the total estimated costs are $41.2 million, excluding financing costs, or approximately $2,059 per kW at the total 20 MW (nominal AC) rating. The Company states that the CE-2 Projects include projects identified both through a 2020 RFP and Company-sourced projects. For the CE-2 Projects, the Company states that it completed full environmental justice assessments for each project and will complete community outreach as needed based on the project. Maps for the proposed CE-2 Projects accompany this notice. Rider CE Dominion asks the Commission to approve revised Rider CE for the rate
year beginning May 1, 2022, and ending April 30, 2023 (“Rate Year”). The Company states it is proposing to adjust the rate year to align with an annual cadence for the petitions required by Code § 56-585.5 D 4, such that Rider CE rates approved by the Commission in this proceeding become effective for usage on and after May 1, 2022, in place of the Rider CE rates previously approved through May 31, 2022. Pursuant to Subsection A 6, the Company seeks approval for its accrual of allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”) of the CE-2 Projects and CE-2 Distributed Solar Projects and to recover the costs of the CE-2 Projects and CE-2 Distributed Solar Projects and the related distribution and transmission interconnection facilities through Rider CE. Additionally, the Company seeks approval for the recovery of costs associated with the CE-1 Solar Projects and related interconnection facilities approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00134 through Rider CE. In the future, the Company anticipates seeking cost recovery of additional solar or onshore wind generating facilities and energy storage resources through Rider CE. Pursuant to Code § 56-585.5 F, the Company proposes Rider CE to be applicable to all of the Company’s Virginia retail customers as a nonbypassable charge, irrespective of whether a customer purchases electric supply service from a competitive service provider (“CSP”), subject to two exceptions. The Company proposes to exempt: (1) any customer meeting the accelerated renewable energy buyer requirements pursuant to Code § 56-585.5 G, and (2) any customer with a peak demand in calendar year 2019 that exceeded 100 MW and that elected to purchase electric supply service from a CSP prior to April 1, 2019, pursuant to Code § 56-577 A 3. The Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $71,025,000 in Rider CE for service rendered during the Rate Year. For purposes of calculating the revenue requirement in this case, Dominion utilized a rate of return on common equity (“ROE”) of 9.2%. This ROE was approved by the Commission in Case No. PUR-2019-00050. If the proposed Rider CE for the 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 revised Rider CE on May 1, 2022, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month by approximately $1.13. CE-2 PPAs Prudence Determination In its 2021 RPS Filing, Dominion also seeks only a prudence determination for the CE-2 PPAs pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:4 H. The CE-2 PPAs consist of (i) six PPAs for utility-scale solar generating facilities totaling approximately 185 MW (“CE-2 Solar PPAs”), (ii) two PPAs for utility-scale solar generating facilities paired with energy storage totaling approximately 26 MW of solar and 13 MW of storage (“CE-2 Solar and Storage PPAs”), (iii) one PPA for a stand-alone energy storage resource totaling approximately 20 MW (“CE-2 Storage PPA”), and (iv) 15 PPAs for 23 small-scale solar generating facilities totaling approximately 42 MW (“CE-2 Distributed Solar PPAs”). The Company states that it intends to recover the costs of the CE-2 PPAs through future Rider PPA, which is one of the rate recovery mechanisms in the overarching cost recovery framework that was approved by the Commission for non-bypassable RPS Program-related costs and benefits in Case No. PUR-2020-00134. With respect to environmental justice impacts of the CE-2 PPAs, the Company states it evaluated such impacts at a high level based on the Company’s lack of control over the projects. In particular, the Company states that it conducts high level demographic screening, reviews the spatial distribution of the portfolio of projects and encourages developers to address

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
More discussion, awareness needed on solar farms I am writing in response to the article, “Rural counties wrestle with solar demands from Northern Virginia,” published Oct. 16. First, Virginia communities are divide into cities, suburbs, and rural areas. Each serves a purpose to society’s collective goal. However, due to our capitalistic country, monetary gain is embedded into everything. The shift from carbon to solar energy is meant to be an environmental celebration, but greed is causing it to be detrimental, instead. Secondly, we are making positive changes to reduce carbon use. What we are not addressing is how that shift is impacting our society. That is why I believe this issue should be discussed more. We, as a country, need to be more aware of our collective destination because only through dis-
cussion and education are we able to make proactive change. Farms of solar panels sound great but what about all that land? What about all the resources wasted? What does that mean for communities now and in the future? How will this affect our communities economically and environmentally? People need to be more aware of what’s at risk. Those who have money make decisions that are detrimental to the lower class because it doesn’t directly affect them. We need to be aware of the changes that are going on around us because, ultimately, we are the ones directly impacted by those changes. More coverage, more discussion, more awareness. MARIAH ODDIAH Woodbridge
Lagging education funding should get more attention I am writing in response to the article, “Virginia lags many states in state education funding, analysis says,” published Oct. 14. Discrepancies in per-pupil funding across counties and the lack of state and federal funding to fill in the gaps is something that needs much greater attention and should be making bigger headlines. In Prince William County, our schools are grossly overcrowded. Hiring teachers has been a struggle due to lower pay than neighboring counties, and resources are limited. On the western side of the county, we fare far better than the eastern end, as parent support in raising supplemental funds is far greater. In 2021, per-pupil spending in Prince William County is budgeted at $12,641 while its neighbor Fairfax County spends $16,505 per student. A state system that relies on local funding, rather than state or federal support, creates disparities that cannot be closed. Some counties will never be able to generate tax revenue comparable to places such as Arlington County, which has a high corporate presence. There needs to be a resolution where students have access to adequate resources regardless of their ZIP code. Education is opportunity. School boards and lawmakers must prioritize equitable school funding. CARRIE MORRELL Haymarket
Expand Medigap, help dialysis patients get the care they need I was only 19 years old when I was diagnosed with kidney disease. Because I was under 65, Medicare didn’t cover the full costs of treatments and medications throughout my 10 tough years on dialysis, and I was forced to make difficult choices between the care I needed and basic needs like groceries. A new bill, however, the Jack Reynolds Memorial Medigap Expansion Act, would change that by expanding Medigap coverage to dialysis patients under the age of 65. This bipartisan bill would make sure that every dialysis patient gets the healthcare coverage they
need, which is why our leaders, like Congressman Gerry Connolly and Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, must pass the Jack Reynolds Memorial Medigap Expansion Act. I often talk to other young patients who are going through difficult treatments, and I know firsthand the obstacles they face to receiving their care. I don’t want them to have to make the same impossible choices I had to, which is why I’m counting on our elected officials to pass this bill. MATTHEW SALTZMAN Fairfax
Cheerleaders are athletes -- period I am writing in response to the article to the article titled, “We’re not just cute sideline cheerleaders. We’re athletes,” published in your newspaper Oct. 14. This article got me thinking about the importance of teaching young girls in our community to rid themselves of the stereotypes of the past. The Woodbridge Vikings competition cheer team is coming out of their most recent victory, one that undoubtedly required a lot of time and hard work. Do you think that they finished their competition and thought, “Wow, I hope I looked cute”? No. Because these girls see themselves as athletes. And they should not have to qualify for states to prove that to their community. Because they are hoping to prove themselves as athletes, that means
that someone somewhere has told them that they are not. And now these girls are seeing themselves from that naysayer’s perspective. Maybe they doubt themselves; doubt the work and skills that competitive cheer takes, simply because they look beautiful and feminine while doing it, because someone said that they are just a “cute” group of girls. The coach for this Woodbridge team is doing her best to change these mindsets, to break the stereotypes that go along with cheerleading. It is an important reminder that while we have come a long way in the fight against misogyny, we should never stop our efforts to fight for the sake of every young girl. KATHRYN DEALY Manassas
In support of Glenn Youngkin Glenn Youngkin is my choice for governor of Virginia because he will bring us a seasoned business leadership that his opponent clearly and sorely lacks. Raising millions of dollars of campaign money for the Clintons and other Democrats does not a businessman make. Yes, Youngkin’s opponent promises much, but delivers little. Mr. Younkin, born and raised in Virginia, has focused on public service in recent years. His opponent, a Syracuse, NY, native, not so much. Join me in voting for new leadership in the Old Dominion.

Serving those who have served – with art
Despite COVID-19 challenges, George Mason University’s Veterans and the Arts Initiative has served more than 10,000 servicemembers and their families by Katie Maney
Contributing Writer
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many to find different strategies to cope with a rapidly changing world. For Niyati Dhokai, who leads George Mason University’s Veterans and the Arts Initiative, it has meant getting creative in the effort to offer inclusive arts workshops for veterans, active duty servicemembers and their families. “I think that a lot of struggles that we’ve seen in our veteran and military-connected community members during the pandemic have been similar to what we’ve seen in our civilian communities: depression, anxiety and general stress because we’re all facing something that we’ve never dealt with before,” said Dhokai, a research associate professor in the GMU’s College of Visual and Performing Arts and a member of the Institute for Biohealth Innovation. The Veterans and the Arts Initiative launched in 2014 as a way to engage military-connected individuals with their community. Its purpose is to provide support for former military personnel who are transitioning back to home life, to conduct research on how the arts impact veterans and their families and to develop of arts programming, such as guitar and poetry workshops, targeted toward diverse groups of prior servicemembers. So far, the initiative has served more than 10,000 individuals. “The arts have lots of potential mental health benefits, as they offer an activity that can involve both pleasure and mastery, as well as promoting mindfulness and appreciation of beauty,” said Keith Renshaw, a professor in GMU’s Department of Psychology and director of the Military, Veterans & Families Initiative. “The Veterans and the Arts Initiative has been such a boost to the veteran and military-connected community by providing all of that. And when they found a way to keep it going, even in the midst of the pandemic, it has been … a bright spot for a lot of people who were struggling to manage day-to-day difficulties and isolation.”
“I like how there have been a few ‘family teams.’ Nothing better than family bonding, which leads to stress relief [and] better mental health for us vets and families.” JESSICA AND RAFAEL SALDANA U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps veterans
In March 2020, the Veterans and the Arts Initiative was gearing up to begin work on the second part of its contract with Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network, an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs and the state and local arts agencies. A ukulele workshop series, which had been wildly successful during its first run in August 2019, was planned as a way to better understand how the workshops contribute to a sense of community and social support while allowing researchers to discern the different goals and motivations for participating. When COVID-19 sent the world into a lockdown, Dhokai said she realized they’d have to switch to an alternative solution: offering the workshop online. “Within five days, we pivoted to an online platform, and we were able to do what we promised, which meant a lot to us,” said Dhokai. The online workshops did not come without their challenges. In the beginning, internet connections often failed due to high demand, and, for some participants, navigating the technology presented obstacles. However, the Veterans and the Arts Initiative worked individually with community members to make them comfortable with using the platforms. “We wanted to make sure everyone had as easy of a time as possible with the technology so that they could focus on the arts and that sense of togetherness, and they didn’t have

Whether conducted in person or online, the arts workshops and performances offered by George Mason University’s Veterans and the Arts Initiative have so far involved more than 10,000 participants. to spend as much time figuring out the platform itself,” said Dhokai. The workshops, both online and in person, have been met with high praise, with many people signing up for multiple programs or continuing in their chosen arts practice on their own. Dhokai credits the access to a wide variety of university resources, as well as the hard work of her teammates, for their accomplishments. “My colleagues have come together from across the university to provide the pedagogical tools necessary to implement successful music and visual art workshops,” said Dhokai. “It’s really special that we’re able to combine efforts and use our assets to best serve our military community.” This fall, the Initiative is offering hybrid programming so that about 50 people can participate in workshops both in person and online simultaneously. The plan has already generated positive feedback from participants from across the country, and Dhokai said she looks forward to analyzing the results. The hope is to ultimately design a sustainable model so that the Veterans and the Arts Initiative can continue to extend opportunities to community members. Dhokai said she also wants to ensure the model is scalable and replicable at other military-connected community sites across the
How to get involved
This fall, George Mason University’s Veterans and the Arts Initiative offered free guitar, ukulele, songwriting, quilting and visual arts workshops for servicemembers, veterans, family members and military caregivers. The program also offers concerts and special events for militaryconnected community members and those who want to offer support. For more information, visit: https://hyltoncenter.org/programs/ veterans-and-arts-initiative country. The Initiative has created a telearts implementation guide in order to assist those who are interested in starting up similar programs. “I am so proud of our Veterans and the Arts team, and all who are supporting the work,” said Rick Davis, dean of GMU’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. “Not only does this project make a tangible, immediate contribution to the well-being of a very important population, but the research aspect takes it to another level regionally and nationally.” Katie Maney is a science communications officer with George Mason University’s Institute for Biohealth Innovation.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Rotary
Ongoing events
Club of Warrenton The Rotary Club of Warrenton presents the Second Annual Community Baby Shower in conjunction with the Fauquier Community Food Bank & Thrift Store. Back for a second year and building on the success of the 2020 Baby shower, There remains a distinct need for baby items. Social workers have experienced firsthand stories of struggling families forced to stretch their baby supplies by thinning formula and leaving their children in a wet or dirty diaper a little longer than they want. These choices of course have both short term and long term consequences There is a definite need for non-expired baby formula as formula shelf lives are short and they have to keep their clients safe. Another big need is for baby food since many families start their children on adult food too early because they simply cannot afford baby food, which is formulated with extra vitamins and nutrients that babies need at such a young age. In response to the great need, Rotary is holding a community “Baby Shower” drive on November 4th from 11:00am to 2:00pm. While all of the typical food bank items will be accepted, the Baby Shower is specifically focused on items such as non-expired baby food and formula, diapers of all sizes and brands, baby wipes, diaper cream and baby hygiene items which may be brought to The Gathering Place, 650 Alwington Blvd, Warrenton, VA 20186 (just past James G. Brumfield Elementary School). In the spirit of 2021 and the surge of online shopping, there is also an Amazon Baby Registry where community members who would be more comfortable shopping online and having it dropshipped directly to the Food Bank may do that too. Search Amazon registries for “Warrenton Rotary” under “baby registries” to find the registry and complete your transaction. The registry was designed for any budget, so community members could buy entire items, or contribute funds toward one.

Training offered for disaster response volunteers By Jan Hawkins

Contributing Writer
Floods. Tornadoes. Snowmageddon 2010. Tropical Storm Lee 2011. No community is immune to the havoc and devastation caused by a disaster, whether natural or manmade. Volunteer Prince William is recruiting volunteers for disaster response positions.

Veterans Day parade returns to Manassas VETERANS DAY, from page 3 On Dec. 28, 2011, while on foot patrol, Devine was struck by an IED and medically evacuated. At Walter Reed National Medical Center, he was fitted with prosthetics and spent more than three years in physical and occupational therapy. Devine has continued to have surgeries, the latest occurring in July, even after being medically retired from the Marine Corps. Devine is married and has two children, 10 and 7. He said he hasn’t told his kids about being a grand marshal. “They are just proud of me in general,” he said. “Veterans Day is about honoring those who have served throughout our nation’s history. We should continue to show and give them a sense of gratitude,” Devine said. “Having
a lieutenant general there and a corporal, hopefully, they can see and take away what our veterans give to this nation.” Devine is studying digital forensics and criminal investigations and works as an information technology specialist for the government. The parade is being dedicated to former parade committee member, Marine Cpl. Bryan Nason, who passed away earlier this year. “Attending the parade is an opportunity to honor active-duty service members and veterans who selflessly place themselves in harm’s way to protect our constitution and the sacrifices they make,” said Mike Riley, a member of the Veterans Day parade committee.

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PETITION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL OF ITS MULTI-FAMILY SHARED SOLAR PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES, CASE NO. PUR-2020-00124 As required by Code § 56-585.1:12, the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) has established the Multi-Family Shared Solar Program (“Program”). This Program applies to eligible customers of Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) that live in multi-family dwellings (such as an apartment complex). The Program provides an opportunity for such customers to participate in shared solar projects. Generally speaking, a multi-family customer would purchase one or more subscriptions in a solar facility that qualifies as a “shared solar facility.” In return, the customer would receive credit on their utility bill equal to the dollar value of the electricity, in kilowatt-hours (“kWh”), for the portion of that facility’s electricity generation represented by the subscription(s) the customer owns. The Commission’s Rules Governing Multi-Family Shared Solar Program (“Shared Solar Rules”) require Dominion to file with the Commission any tariffs, agreements, or forms necessary to implement the Program. A utility participating in the Program is allowed to recover reasonable costs to administer the Program; under the Shared Solar Rules the Commission must deem any administrative charge necessary. This notice is to alert the public that Dominion has requested Program administrative charges to be included in its Program tariffs and to provide the opportunity for public input on these proposed charges. Dominion’s proposed administrative charges are described in a Petition filed on September 1, 2021, with the Commission in Case No. PUR-2020-00124. There is one administrative charge applicable to shared solar facility subscribers, as set forth in Schedule Multi-Family Shared Solar (“Schedule MFSS”), and one administrative charge applicable to subscriber organizations that own or operate the shared solar facilities, as set forth in Schedule Subscriber Organization – Multi-Family Shared Solar (“Schedule SO-MSS”). These schedules are part of Dominion’s Petition. A description of these administrative charges follows: Schedule MFSS The proposed administrative charge for Schedule MFSS (the schedule applicable to subscribers) is the sum of four components: the Distribution Service Charge, Transmission Service Charge, Generation Balancing Service Charge, and Program Billing Charge. The proposed Program Billing Charge would be a flat monthly rate. The other three components would vary by month and would be calculated by multiplying the subscriber’s portion of the electricity production for a particular month from the shared solar facility (in kWh). Transmission and Distribution Service Charges. Using data from Dominion’s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) Form 1, the Company proposes that the transmission and distribution components of the administrative charge be based on a cost per kWh that is determined by taking each component’s (transmission or distribution) total revenue for the residential class divided by the sales of the class. The proposed Transmission Service Charge is 1.993¢/kWh, and the proposed Distribution Service Charge is 2.722¢/kWh. Generation Balancing Service Charge. Dominion proposes to calculate the Generation Balancing Service Charge as the higher of (i) the sum of the Generation Service Charge and the Avoided Cost Credit (called the Net Generation Service Charge) and (ii) the sum of all the Company’s Non-bypassable Charges. As to (i) above, using FERC Form 1 data the Company would base the Generation Service Charge on a cost per kWh that is derived by taking the generation service total revenue for the residential class divided by the sales of the class. Dominion represents that the Avoided Cost Credit would be the average value of the energy in the regional transmission market (PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.) for a typical shared solar facility for the same time period as the Generation Service Charge component. The Generation Service Charge and the Avoided Cost Credit would be added together to determine the Net Generation Service Charge. Dominion’s Non-bypassable Charges are not specific to Schedule MFSS. Rather, they are charges that all customers of Dominion pay regardless of who supplies the customer’s generation service unless specifically exempted by statute. Currently, the Non-bypassable Charges for Dominion consist of Rider CE, Rider RPS and Rider PIPP, which were approved by the Commission in prior cases. These rider rates are subject to change on an annual basis, and Dominion may in the future receive Commission approval of other riders that are also Non-bypassable charges. For the Generation Balancing Service Charge, Dominion would add all the Non-bypassable Charges together and then compare this sum to the Net Generation Service Charge. The higher number would be used to calculate the Administrative Charge. Currently, Dominion’s proposed Generation Service Charge is 7.050¢/kWh, and the proposed Avoided Cost Credit is (4.337¢/kWh), which equates to a Net Generation Service Charge of 2.713ȼ/kWh. The sum of the applicable Commission-approved Non-bypassable Charges is 0.0399¢/kWh. Thus, at present, the Generation Balancing Service Charge would be 2.713¢/kWh, which is the higher of 2.713ȼ/kWh and 0.0399¢/kWh. Program Billing Charge. The fourth component of the Administrative Charge is the Program Billing Charge. This charge includes a variety of costs Dominion claims it expects to incur to administer the Program, including technology development, workforce expansion, and billing services, among others. Dominion states that other costs unknown at this time will be included in the future once they are known and determined to be incremental Program costs. Dominion states that it intends to use its forthcoming customer information platform to automate Program billing, but in the meantime, the Company has estimated the costs of doing the manual billing for customers who are Program subscribers. The Company proposes a flat rate for the Program Billing Charge of $13.40 per billing month. Schedule MFSS Administrative Charge Summary. To summarize, Dominion requests that the Commission approve the following proposed components of the administrative charge for Schedule MFSS. Component
Cost
Transmission Service Charge
1.993ȼ/kWh
Distribution Service Charge
Generation Balancing Charge Program Billing Charge TOTAL Monthly Rate
2.722ȼ/kWh Higher of 2.713ȼ/kWh and 0.0399¢/kWh $13.40
7.428ȼ/kWh + $13.40
Under Schedule MFSS, the administrative charge would be offset by a monthly bill credit that the Commission already has determined to be 11.765ȼ/kWh. Schedule SO-MSS Dominion requests Commission approval of a proposed administrative charge in Schedule SO-MSS (applicable to subscriber organizations). Dominion states that Schedule SO-MSS is designed to be a companion schedule established under any nonresidential, non-lighting rate schedule (e.g., Schedule GS-1, Schedule GS-2, Schedule GS-3, Schedule GS-4). The administrative charge for this tariff includes three components: a one-time set-up charge as well as monthly charges related to meter reading and processing and Program administration. To summarize, Dominion requests that the Commission approve the following proposed components of the administrative charge for Schedule SO-MSS: Component
Cost
Meter reading and processing:
$5.25 to $96.88/month, depending on type of meter
One-time set-up fee
Program Administration Charge TOTAL
$700/facility
$95 flat rate/month/facility
$700 once plus $100.25 to $191.88/ month
Further details about the Schedule MFSS and Schedule SOMSS administrative charges are included in the Company’s September 1, 2021 Petition. Interested persons are strongly encouraged to review the Petition for further details on the administrative charges. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may design the administrative charges in a manner differing from that shown in the Petition and thus may adopt administrative charges that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Petition.

FIT TO BE ON THE CRIMSON TIDE
Athleticism, hard work, passion have Unity Reed linebacker Shawn Murphy bound for ‘Bama By Jason S. Rufner
Special to the Prince William Times
When you find what you’re really good at, stick with it. You never know where it’ll take you. Shawn Murphy fell in love with football the first time he played it, when he was eight years old. Less than a decade later, the Prince William native is a 5-star blue-chip linebacker recruit, gearing up to play for the Crimson Tide of Alabama in 2022. “I see football as another life,” said Murphy, who committed on July 15 over finalists Ohio State, Penn State, LSU, and Florida. “It helps you grow. It grooms you in a way that you won’t get in a lot of other sports. It’s more than just a game. Obviously, you can see how it can change your life just like that, with just one scholarship,” said the star senior. At 3-5, the Lions are on pace to make the Class 6 Region B playoffs. They rank sixth with winnable games left against Freedom (South Riding) (3-5) and Osbourn Park (2-6). The attention on Murphy, rated as the No. 1 inside linebacker in the Class of 2022 by rivals.com, has brought attention to the other student-athletes at Unity Reed, a school Murphy chose to attend to keep some of his closest friendships. “Shawn is a super-nice kid who can turn on the switch of ‘intensity’ in competition, yet carry himself with humility off the field,” said Kevin Turner, Unity Reed’s director of student activities. “His athletic talent will take him a long way. His personality and character will take him even farther.” “I watched him learn and grow as a freshman,” Unity Reed head coach Carroll Walker said. “The way he reads the game and takes control of the defense, it’s tremendous. He brings the work ethic to the table, and other kids see how determined he is to make it to the next level. They follow in his footsteps, seeing the hard

Getting ready for Unity Reed
Eight-year-old Shawn had no experience in organized sports as he stood on the sideline, watching his friends play 7-on-7 football on a Manassas field. He caught the eye of some Manassas Mutiny coaches, who invited him to sign up for the travel squad. The course of his young life changed. “My first year was just learning how everything goes,” he said, “but the second year, I just got way, way better.” Naturally tall, he was put at offensive lineman and defensive end. He spread out to other positions, like safety and outside linebacker. His affinity for football was immediate. He’s never played any other orga“He brings the work ethic to the next level,” says Unity Reed coach Carroll Walker about Shawn Murphy.

‘I play really instinctual’ MURPHY, from page 20
SHAWN MURPHY FAST FACTS
By season’s end, he’d been moved to inside linebacker and was getting more snaps, including 15 tackles against state contender Freedom. He was growing, both physically and as a player, and already colleges were taking notice. “I play really instinctual,” he assessed. “I react fast. The faster you go and the less you think, the better you play. Really, I just play with a lot of animosity.”
Going farther
In April of his freshman year, during spring practices, Murphy was stunned when Alabama, winners of six national championships in the past 12 seasons, offered him a fullride scholarship to play football there. “I knew my freshman season that I was good,” he said, “but I didn’t know I was that good until I got that Alabama offer. I was shocked. How does that even happen to me? Just a crazy experience, honestly.” That was his ninth offer. He’d receive dozens more from big-time programs across the country, including Oklahoma, Auburn, Georgia, and Michigan. He picked the Tide over several dozen high-level offers because of the freedom Nick Saban’s staff gives its linebackers. “I know I can produce the most for my position and fit the defensive

scheme,” he said. “At Alabama, their linebackers play free a lot, call the plays, control the defense. I like to be the quarterback on defense. They play how I play.” Murphy’s athleticism lets him speed from sideline to sideline, and his grownup size delivers solid hits. His instinct for the game puts him in the right position. He’ll become a member of the famed Alabama football program with the same mindset he employed as a high school freshman. Even if he’s overmatched at first, he’ll just outwork the competition. “I don’t see it as too much of a difference,” he said. “At the end of the day, I know it’s an opportunity to be blessed to commit to Alabama, and I know I can go there and do my thing. “It’s about having a lot of passion. I just love this game.”

OBITUARIES Joyce Anne Tompkins Joyce Anne Tompkins went peacefully to be with the Lord on October 20, 2021 at the age of 83. She was born in Charlottesville, Va. on May 9, 1938 to James and Mary Spencer. She grew up in Lovingston, Va. and moved with her family to Catlett, Va. during her teenage years. After graduating from Warrenton High School in 1957, she worked for an insurance company in Washington, DC. Later that year on October 19, she married Benjamin Nicholson. They made their home in Nokesville, Va. and raised 3 daughters. In 1977 Joyce became a bus driver for Fauquier County Public Schools. She loved and cared for her passengers on bus #27 for 11 years. Joyce also worked at The Country Store on Dumfries Road in Catlett for many years. There she made lasting friendships with many members of the community. She often had daily visits from her loyal customers during which they discussed anything from the weather to religion. One particular customer often returned on nights she closed to keep her company and help with her tasks. She was loved and respected by all. In 1996 she left the store to manage and eventually purchase The Caprice Cafe in Warrenton. She and her regulars quickly became family there as well, spending breakfast and/or lunch together daily. It was during this time she became reacquainted with her high school sweetheart, Clarence Tompkins. They were married on September 18, 1999. Along with some of her family members, he helped run the cafe until it closed in 2006. Joyce treasured the relationships she had with her customers and kept in touch with many after the cafe closed. She later became a cook at the Blue Ridge Christian Home in Bealeton until her retirement in 2016. Joyce was an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Catlett for most of her adult life. She enjoyed gardening, reading, cooking, and spending time with her family. She was funny, kind, selfless, and full of love for everyone. If she was in your life, if only for a moment, you were blessed. She will be missed immensely. Joyce is survived by her daughters Jennifer Nicholson of Culpeper, Va., Suzan VanBuskirk (Dave) of Catlett, Va., and Rachel Williams (Michael) of Nokesville, Va., nine grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, brother Bud Spencer, great granddaughter Raegan VanBuskirk, and her husband Clarence Tompkins. Funeral services be held at 4:00 PM at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA on Saturday, November 6th, 2021. Family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Online condolences may be expressed at www.moserfuneralhome.com.
Gertrude “Gertie” Marshall Gertrude “Gertie” Marshall, our dearly beloved mother and grandmother, was called home on Tuesday, October 19, 2021. Gertrude was born on March 27, 1945, in Warrenton, Virginia to the late Albert Champ and Margaret Davis. Gertrude attended Fauquier County Schools and in her early years she was employed by the Town of Warrenton as a school crossing guard, ITC Solar, and the Warrenton Training Center. Gertrude married Douglas Marshall, Jr. on August 6, 1960, and from that union four children were born: Brenda, Evelyn, Douglas III, and Dale. She leaves behind her husband of 60 years, Douglas, to mourn her. Gertrude is survived by three daughters, Brenda and Evelyn of Warrenton and Dale of District Heights, Maryland; one son, Douglas III (Anne) of Marshall, Virginia; her sister, Pamela Davis of Brandy Station, Virginia; and her brother-in-law, Lenard Marshall of Orange, Virginia. She also leaves behind nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren who were her pride and joy. In addition to her parents, Gertrude is preceded in death by her brother, Robert Starks. Gertie was a loving person. She looked forward to holidays, where she would prepare large meals and spend time with family and friends. God has touched her, and she is at rest, no more pain, no more worries, just in peace now.

Richard Louis Vernaci Richard Louis Vernaci, 68, of Warrenton, Va., died Oct. 18, 2021 in the Haymarket Medical Center of complications from COVID. Born Oct. 10, 1953 in St. Louis, Mo., he drew joy from fatherhood, family, writing, travel, cooking (especially braciole), and making people laugh themselves breathless. After pursuing his intellectual curiosities at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., he graduated with a degree in ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. His circuitous career path began with a brief stint in a Kansas restaurant and a job as a traveling Rexall Drug representative in rural Texas. In search of his next move, he went through the Yellow Pages, and in the “N” section found a life-defining option: newspapers. Over the next 25 years, the news business took him from the Baytown Sun to the Associated Press in Washington, D.C., with stops in Bismarck, Detroit, and Pontiac, Mich. He reveled in getting paid to learn from experts and found it energizing to hang out with people who were brilliant and funny. He chafed at gratuitous malice and intellectual laziness. Newsrooms provided all the above. Combining his love of language and a pursuit of justice, this was a perfect fit. He saw the Northern Lights from the top of the world, swam in a volcano-warmed stream in Africa (during a short gig teaching journalism in Ethiopia), stood on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, and in Vatican City enjoyed being saluted by the Swiss Guards so much that he turned around and came back through the restricted entrance again just to make the guys in striped knickers salute one more time. In addition to covering the installation of Pope John Paul II, he camped in the Arctic Circle for what became a canceled papal visit to the First Nations. His favorite quote from that assignment: “You’re from Detroit? It must be warm down there.” Early in his career Rick was a strikebreaker hired to cross a picket line for the Oakland Press. Later, he was a Wire Service Guild shop steward known for cagy creativity. When a respected reporter was pulled off his beat to give someone else a chance, Rick staged a conversation about age discrimination. There was no lawsuit planned, but that seasoned colleague fortuitously was reassigned to the White House. Rick was less subtle on behalf of a receptionist denied bathroom breaks and a copyboy who lost an eye after using all his sick leave for the year. To make extra income, he pulled together the life story of the original Social Security actuary in the book “Within the System.” Stuck at home after shattering his ankle on an icy driveway, he took a stab at fiction and was entertained when “Mama’s Boy” earned a couple bucks in Amazon royalties. For a few years, he tried his hand at entrepreneurship. Some of Broad Run Consulting’s clients required travel to the Middle East, though the foreign trips Rick talked about the most were to Stonehenge with Andy; to Ireland with Beth, to Rome with Joe, and to Calabria with Bob. “The kids are a hoot,” he wrote to a friend. “I don’t know how I ever lived without them.” He dropped out of physical therapy after his first brain surgery, declaring that he could do better himself. He ran three times a week and for awhile recovered enough concentration to read books, hold a part-time job as a congressional column-writer, and drive a manual-transmission Fiat through the Scilla Mountains. By the time he needed more surgeries, Rick had run more than 3,000 miles. He called the post-brain hemorrhage years “the bonus round,” and appreciated the friends who stuck with him as he became less able to keep up his end of the conversation. “My family is charming and healthy, and I’m the most content I’ve ever been,” he wrote in 2013. Rick is survived by his wife, Katherine Rizzo; their son Robert Vernaci of Fredericksburg, Va.; his children with former spouse Cecilia Vernaci: Andrew Vernaci of Lacey, Wash. and Elizabeth Vernaci of Falls Church, Va.; his siblings Jolene (Rick) Klinger of Pacific, Mo., Joseph (Charlotte) Vernaci of Washington, Mo., Antonio (Kathi) Vernaci of Rochester, Mich., and Gina (Bill Hillyard) Vernaci of Lakewood, Ohio, along with nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by a son, Joseph Michael Vernaci II; parents Joseph Vernaci and Edith Iona Walton; niece Tiffany Klinger; and great-niece Jessica Klinger. Visitation is 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 27, at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, Va. We hope guests will be safe and masked. Requiem Mass 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, Warrenton. In his honor, you could: · Donate to the Fauquier County Public Library or your local library; · Attend a minor-league baseball game; · Listen to Vivaldi, Andrea Bocelli, Zydeco and the Beatles on the same afternoon; · Patronize any business on Main Street in Warrenton, Va.; · Vacation on Nantucket; · Climb the Aventine Hill in Rome to look through the keyhole of the Knights of Malta; · Read about antiquity; · Eat bistecca in Florence; · Watch the stars come out over the Blue Ridge Mountains on a summer night. Rick had been vaccinated against coronavirus. If you’re still reluctant, please think about him. Don’t be the reason someone else gets sick.
