‘Ashley was my whole world’ Mothers of slain women testify in Ronald Hamilton’s capital murder trial By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer

Ashley Guindon, Crystal Hamilton

In emotional testimony Tuesday morning, two mothers spoke to a jury in Prince William Circuit Court about the shooting deaths of their daughters. “Ronald Hamilton, you not only killed my daughter that fateful night of

February 27, 2016,” Sharon Guindon said, reading a written statement from the witness stand about her daughter, Prince William County police Officer Ashley Guindon, who was killed during her first day on the job.

“You killed me, too,” she said. “Ashley was my whole world.” “I’m broken,” Cherry Murphy said as she spoke about the death of her daughter, Crystal Hamilton. “My life will never be the same… When she died, I died along with her.” The jury found Ronald Williams Hamilton, 34, guilty of 17 charges including capital murder for the deaths of Ashley Guindon, 28, and his wife, Crystal Hamilton, 29, and for shooting two other officers, who survived. The Oct. 9 testimony came during the sentencing phase of Hamilton’s trial, when jurors must decide

whether Hamilton should be sentenced to death or to life in prison. Murphy said she was at home in South Carolina on the night of Feb. 27, 2016, when she got a call from one of Ronald Hamilton’s sisters, telling her Ronald and Crystal “had an argument” and she needed to go to Virginia. “I asked, ‘Why? If it’s just an argument,’” Murphy said. After a few more phone calls, Murphy said she became concerned enough to pick up her older daughter and the two then drove to Virginia.

A joint committee of Prince William supervisors and school board members has a new number in mind to eliminate the 206 portable classroom trailers used across the county to deal with school overcrowding: $143 million. That’s the amount school division officials say it will cost to the build two additional elementary schools and “40 percent of a new middle school” needed to educate all of Prince William County’s schoolchildren in actual buildings rather than metal- and vinyl-sided trailers. That’s on top of the 12 new schools and 70 classroom additions already included in the school division’s $1.2 billion 10-year construction plan. A group of six school board members and supervisors – three from each board – has met occasionally for more than a year to devise a plan to nearly eliminate the portable classroom trailers the school division has relied on for decades to mitigate persistent overcrowding. The group recognizes the school division will likely never completely eliminate trailers. Some will always be needed to house students during periods of construction or renovation, they say. But the goal is to stop relying on them for an overall lack of classroom space. After a nearly four-month-long summer break, the group returned to its work Saturday, Sept. 29, and will meet again this month See SCHOOL TRAILERS, Page 6

Mothers of slain women testify in sentencing phase of Ronald Hamilton’s capital murder trial HAMILTON TRIAL, from Page 1 “I felt like I knew. Something was wrong,” Murphy said. When they arrived at the Hamilton home early the next morning, they were met by an FBI agent. “They said they were sorry, and that’s all I remember,” said Murphy, who said she then lost consciousness. Wendy Howard, Crystal Hamilton’s older sister, testified that on the drive up to Virginia she also felt something was wrong. “I think I knew in my heart and in my spirit that something was not right,” she said.

When the FBI agent told her and her mother Crystal had been shot, Howard said she felt her own knees buckle and then caught her mother as she fainted and fell. “I’ve never heard a cry like the cry she let off,” Howard said of her mother. “It was a wailing. I knew that she was broken and I couldn’t fix that.” Both women said they still struggle with the loss of Crystal, who was seen smiling broadly in a large photo displayed on a monitor behind the witness stand as they testified. “She was such a sweet person,” Murphy said. “If she was in here right

‘A hole in our family’

Sharon Guindon and Walter Nowak, Ashley’s uncle, described Ashley as a loving, active and ambitious girl who grew into a woman who wanted to serve others. Nowak stood at the witness stand and read from a prepared statement in his testimony, speaking to jurors about the holidays and family gatherings that will never be the same without Ashley. “The death of Ashley has devastated me and my family and has definitely left a hole in our family,” he said. Sharon Guindon said she was at her home in New Hampshire when she got a call from a Virginia phone number. She thought Ashley was calling her on her first night on patrol as a Prince William County police officer. “I knew she was starting her first night out that evening, so I thought, ‘Oh, maybe she’s calling me,’” Sharon Guindon said. But when she answered, she heard a male police officer on the other end of the phone. “I immediately knew something was wrong,” she said. She was told her daughter had been shot while responding to a domestic call. Sharon Guindon said she called the hospital where her daughter and the other officers were being treated and was first told that Ashley had been shot in the shoulder but would survive. Shortly after that, she got another phone call, this time from the trauma surgeon who had operated on her

daughter. “She told me Ashley died due to her injury to her shoulder and that she did everything that she possibly could to save her,” Guindon said, speaking through tears. Guindon said she was shocked and began to wonder “where do I go from here?” “I lost my only daughter, my only child,” she said. “It’s just such a big void, not having her in my life anymore.” Prosecutors rested their case in the sentencing phase after Guindon’s testimony. Defense attorneys were expected to begin presenting their witnesses during the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 9.

Surviving officers testify

Last week, jurors heard from a string of witnesses who testified about Ronald Hamilton’s sometimes volatile and unpredictable behavior with his wife, acquaintances and other police officers in the years, months and weeks leading up to the February 2016 shootings. The jury also heard a second time from Prince William County police Officers Jesse Hempen and David McKeown about the lasting impact the shootings have had on them and their families. Both were seriously injured when Ronald Hamilton opened fire on the arriving officers with his AK-47 rifle. Hempen, who was shot in the upper leg, was the first officer to arrive at the Hamilton’s Lashmere Court home, in Woodbridge, after Crystal Hamilton called 911 for help. He said he is proud of how he and his fellow officers responded that day, despite the tragic outcome. “I think we handled things the right way and it ended up being a bad situation,” Hempen said. But, he said, he also sometimes feels guilty and thinks about “any number of things could have gone differently.” He said he also often thinks of Ashley Guindon and wishes he could have done something more to help her. “I was more or less watching her die,” he said. “I wish I could have done more for her.” McKeown told jurors he is still healing from his serious injuries after being shot in the chest, groin and right elbow. He is assigned to the police academy and said he misses being a patrol officer. “I enjoyed doing patrol work, going on calls and being on the front lines, so to speak,” he said. The day of the shooting was Guindon’s first day on duty. McKeown was assigned to train her. “It was my responsibility to take care of her,” McKeown said, his voice cracking with emotion. “I failed… I can’t change it so I just have to accept it.” Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Matthew Lowery asked McKeown who he blames for what happened that day. “Ronald Hamilton,” he said.

Williams’ ad recounts family’s struggle with health-care costs The Democratic candidate aims to be Virginia’s first black congresswoman By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Gentle piano music tinkles in the background. The candidate is in a recording studio. “I’ve been called a girl, sweetheart, well-spoken and even ‘a nice colored lady,’ and I’ve heard a lot of stories like my own. I’m Vangie Williams, and all I wanted was to be heard.” So begins the two-minute video put out by a campaign that aims to send Virginia’s first-ever woman-of-color to Congress in January. “Living in rural Virginia,” the candidate shakes her head, “no hospital around us could treat her.” Williams is referring to her youngest daughter, Lylia, who was 2 years old when diagnosed with a rare, chronic lung condition. A montage of scenes shows the child, now 12, in hospital rooms over the years. In telling her story, Williams, who appears consistently in a red blazer (a “symbol of love,” says campaign assistant Sheri Shannon) recounts a struggle not unfamiliar in post-2008 America. “We spent our life savings, lost our home and went bankrupt,” she says in the video, “because that’s what you do when you have a sick child.” A team of videographers that worked on President Obama’s 2008 campaign, Alexandria-based MVAR

Media, followed Williams around for two days, she explained later. “They heard me telling someone that story and asked me if I could sit with them and recount it.” With the campaign short on cash, raising just more than $97,000 compared to the $1.1 million her opponent, Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman has raised since 2017, Williams is making the most of social media and the goose-bump-raising ad, which her supporters are sharing widely online.

“My congressman wouldn’t listen,” the video goes on. “I reached out to Congressman [Rob] Wittman again and again. I wrote letters. I even went to his office on Capitol Hill. But the only sound I heard was, ‘The congressman is busy.’ Yet he found time to vote against Obamacare, and to attempt to repeal it again and again.” Williams, 50, was on the phone from her King George home one recent afternoon, her dog Rocky sleeping underfoot. The full-time federal

government contractor, mother of six, and online student – she’s working on a doctorate in business administration – seems tireless, optimistic and unflappable. She explained the story behind the video, and what brought her to challenge the current five-time Republican incumbent in a district redrawn in 2016 to favor Republicans.

Hard times

In the ad, Williams explained, she is referring to a period when life for her middle-class family began to spin out of control. The problem began when Williams left her job at NASA in 2007. She had 30 days to submit her COBRA form, a document that would continue the family’s health insurance. But before she submitted the form, 2-year-old Lylia was hospitalized with a life-threatening lung condition. The bills were staggeringly high. There was no health insurance for the child’s three-week stay, and she still needed to be moved to a hospital better equipped to treat her. At the time, Williams had left NASA to grow her real estate work. “I had closings coming up. I had money in the bank.” The Williams decided to pay the medical bills, using up their savings. “I was afraid a new hospital wouldn’t accept her if those bills were outstanding. I didn’t realize bills could be negotiated, and I never expected the housing market meltdown.” The Williams were wiped out. See WILLIAMS, Page 4

Williams’ ad recounts family’s struggle with health-care costs WILLIAMS, from Page 3 “We did what we had to do to shield [the children] from what was going on,” Williams said,” although that Christmas, we had no money.” Williams was crying softly. “And someone left presents for all of our daughters and a check for $500. That shows how much we had done for the community, they were giving back to us.” State social services kicked in to insure the children at one point, but not Williams nor her husband, Glen. Within 14 months, Vangie Williams was back at work full-time and today commands a six-figure salary. Filing for bankruptcy had not saved the family’s house but they scraped by because “family and friends helped” and her husband had not lost his construction job.

Growing up

Vangie Williams was born in Washington D.C. in 1968, an only child. As her mother “had an addiction,” she was mostly on her own, getting herself through school, spending summers in the Carolinas with one grandmother or the other. “It made me know who I was from a young age. I knew I had to fix things that were broken,” she said. “Both of my grandmothers were strong, independent women,” Williams said. “They didn’t want me to become ‘country compliant.’ Both of them encouraged me to stay in Washington where there were opportunities, to keep learning, and to

be strong,” she added. Williams married D.C.-native Glen Williams, one of 13 children whose parents had also come up from the Carolinas, and together they have six daughters. “He’s my best friend. We’ve never had a fight.” While her mother is well now and lives with the family, Williams has always been the breadwinner, starting out as a clerk typist for the federal government and working her way up. Her two-hour commute each way left household management to her husband and mother. Williams said she was often studying at night. “I’ve been lucky, she said. “I’ve had a succession of employers who taught me every aspect of their business, often steering me toward the education that would help me excel there.” Williams has degrees in construction management, federal acquisitions and contract management, history, and project management. Williams’ confirmed last week that her student loans tally $200,000, which she shared with a university audience in September. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported last month that Williams’ financial disclosures did not mention the debt. Williams said the omission was due to transmission errors. “It happens often enough, I hear,” Williams said. “I know I filled out those pages. Transmission errors mean we just have to resubmit.”

The turning point

Williams said she received no as-

sistance from her congressman in the fight with Lylia’s health insurance carrier to cover the out-of-area care she needed. Furthermore, the family lives in a region that has “terrible cellular service, no transportation, terrible broadband, crumbling infrastructure,” Williams said. “You might have a home and a car, but you still need health care, and child care and broadband,” she added. Her own frustrations aside, however, it was the pain of a woman who came to her after Wittman promised he would support the Americans for Affordable Care Act at a pop-up town hall in Stafford. “A young lady named Cheryl had asked Rob Wittman – she had cancer – if he would promise to vote to save the ACA. He said, ‘I will.’ And then he did the complete opposite. She called me and she said, ‘He lied to me, right to my face,’” Williams said. “I decided then and there that I was going to run against this man and be someone people like me could count on.” When reached for comment about Williams’ ad, Wittman spokeswoman Kathleen Gayle said the congressman’s office has no record of a “scheduling request” from Williams. “Every constituent’s request is treated with urgency and respect. Although the office does not have an official scheduling request from Mrs. Williams, the congressman wishes he had the opportunity to meet with her and hear her story.”

70,000 hits

Despite her campaign’s struggle to keep up with Wittman’s in donations, Williams seems undaunted. “We are people-funded. Ninety-eight percent of our support is coming from everyday people and small business, and some unions have supported the campaign with small contributions,” she said. Careful with funds, and in a district serving the substantial media markets of Washington, D.C., Hampton Roads and Richmond, Williams has so far charted a unique method of outreach. “We are bypassing traditional media, going to direct marketing and social media,” she said. Last week, Williams received high-profile endorsements from National Education Association, the largest labor union in the country, and from advocacy group Network for Public Education Action. Twenty counties comprise Virginia’s 1st district, including Prince William. About half of the county’s voters will chose between Williams and Wittman in November. The video ad, which exceeded 70,000 hits in its first week and remains front and center on the VangieforCongress.com website, has garnered enthusiasm on its Facebook page. A commenter named “Bald Eagle” wrote: “Incredibly powerful! I’m dragging everyone to the polls!!” Mary Becelia posted, “Superb: You already had my vote, but now you have my heart!” Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com.

Poll: Comstock 7 points behind challenger By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

State Sen. Jennifer Wexton currently holds a 7-point advantage over incumbent Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock in the race for the 10th District seat in Congress, according to a new poll conducted at Christopher Newport University. Wexton, D-33rd, leads Comstock 51 to 44 percent with 5 percent undecided among voters who have voted in at least two of the last four Virginia elections or who were new voters in 2017, according to the poll released this week by the university’s Judy Ford Wason Center for Public Policy. The poll shows Wexton’s lead over Comstock at 11 points – 53 to 42 percent -- with 5 percent undecided among those who said they were definitely going to vote on Nov. 6 and were “very enthusiastic” about the coming election, according to a CNU press release. Wexton holds a strong lead among voters under age 44, but voters older than 45 split their vote nearly evenly between the two candidates. Independents overall break for Wexton by 18 percent, but that lead among independents grows to 23 percent in the more restrictive turnout model used in the poll. Wexton holds an 11-percent lead among women, and that lead grows to 19 percent in the more restrictive model used in the Wason poll, the press release said. “Like many of her peers around the country, Wexton is benefiting from a midterm atmosphere that significantly favors Democrats,” Rachel Bitecofer, assistant director of the Wason Center, said in the press release. “Democrats have maintained a generic ballot advantage of around 7 points over the past few months, and that is giving Democrats a Trump bump.” The Wason poll results come on the heels of the release of results from a Monmouth University poll that found that Wexton holds a 50 to 44 percent lead over Comstock among likely voters using Monmouth’s standard midterm turnout model. Wexton extends her advantage to 52 to 43 percent for Comstock using a model that incorporates a turnout surge in Democratic precincts similar to the pattern seen in last year’s gubernatorial contest.  The Comstock campaign issued a press release challenging the turnout model used by the Monmouth poll. The pool was “wrong in June and it’s wrong again … We have consistently led in our internal polls this year and Barbara has always overperformed both our own internal pools as well as the pundit predictions,” said Comstock’s campaign manager Susan Falconer in a press release.

Prince William schools’ on-time graduation rate rises again Staff Report The on-time graduation rate for the class of 2018 in Prince William County Public Schools increased to 92.1 percent, according to a report recently released by the Virginia Department of Education. The county’s on-time graduation rate surpasses the overall state rate of 91.6 percent and marks the 11th con-

Officials mull new plan to eliminate school trailers SCHOOL TRAILERS, from Page 1 to hone a plan to bring to a joint meeting of both boards set for Tuesday, Nov. 27.

‘Banking’ school sites

During the Sept. 29 meeting, the committee met in closed session to discuss four possible sites the county may want to “bank,” or buy in advance, for some of the needed new schools. The additional $143 million would add two elementary schools and “40 percent of a middle school” for a total of 14 new schools and more than 100 classrooms built on existing schools. The school division already has five sites for new schools. It would need nine more to complete the new plan.

secutive year of improvement. The 2018 graduation rate has increased nearly 9 percent in a decade, according to Prince William County schools.  “This kind of success can only be achieved because of the important work that begins in our elementary schools, continues through our middle schools, and culminates in our high schools,” Prince William County schools Superintendent Steven

Walts said in a press release. “I am very proud of the focused work we have done to ensure more of our students are graduating on time.” The graduation rates of all student groups, including black, Hispanic, white, Asian, economically disadvantaged, English learners and students with disabilities, also surpassed the state averages, the school division said.

Existing sites

D-Woodbridge, who serves on the joint committee, noted that the cost and number of schools thought to be needed to solve the trailer problem has been “a bit of a moving target” over the last 18 months. During the Sept. 29 meeting, Dave Beavers, a member of the school division’s facilities staff, said the new estimate is due to “a slight reduction” in the enrollment forecast. Beavers and Dave Cline, the school division’s now-retired associate superintendent for finance and student support services, said the school division is still analyzing enrollment figures tallied as of Sept. 30 to refine those estimates. According to the official enrollment figures, the county’s enrollment stands at 90,203 students. That’s 851 students below 2017 projections. Still, only Prince William’s elementary schools have room for additional students. Overall, the county’s 61 elementary schools are at 95.4 percent capacity with 1,941 available seats. Both the county’s middle and

The county recently purchased a site next to Chinn Library for the “Parkway” elementary school, set to open in 2019, as well as a parcel near Jiffy Lube Live for the 13th high school, set to open in 2021. In addition, the county has “proffered” sites – donations from residential developers – for the Potomac Shores-area middle school, set to open in 2021, and the “Linton Hall-area” middle school, scheduled to open in 2024. The county is also moving forward with plans to build a new “Stonewall-area” elementary school at Rosemount Lewis Regional Park, which is scheduled to open in 2022. It’s not clear when or how the county would obtain the other nine needed sites. Committee members made no decisions on the four sites discussed during the Sept. 29 meeting.

high schools are overcrowded overall, at 102 percent capacity and 105.4 percent capacity, respectively. Last year, school division staff told the joint committee that eliminating the trailers would cost at least $163 million. In 2017, Prince William Superintendent Steven Walts outlined a $622 million plan to eliminate trailers and return class sizes to 2007 levels. Several months later, Principi devised a plan to raise about $585 million to fund seven additional schools based on Walts’ plan. Neither plan went very far with either board, however, mostly because of the high price tags. The six-member joint committee agreed to Sept. 29 to allow just four members to vote on a final plan to recommend to each of their boards. Prior to the decision, the committee required all six committee members to be present to conduct a vote. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Landfill to host ‘Prince William Recycles Day’ Saturday Staff Reports For more than 20 years, Prince William County Solid Waste Division has been hosting Prince William Recycles Day in conjunction with America Recycles Day. This year’s event will be held at the Prince William County Landfill from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 13 and admission is free. County residents and families are encouraged to attend to learn how they can support waste reduction, save landfill space and found out what’s new about recycling. “Managing our waste is something most people probably don’t

think much about, but it is a very important part of taking care of our environment and sustaining healthy communities,” says Deborah Campbell, communications specialist for the Solid Waste Division. The event has grown to attract more than 1,000 residents who come out to enjoy entertainment, play recycling-themed games, learn more about the environment and tour the landfill.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC., FOR AUTHORITY TO INCREASE RATES AND TO REVISE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO GAS SERVICE CASE NO. PUR-2018-00131 •Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA”) has applied for authority to increase rates and to revise the terms and conditions applicable to gas service. •CVA requests an increase to its total revenue requirement of $22.2 million. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on April 23, 2019, at 10 a.m. •Further information about this case is available on the State Corporation Commission’s website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. On August 28, 2018, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA” or “Company”) filed an application with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 (§ 56-232 et seq.) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings, requesting authority to increase its rates and charges, effective for the first billing unit of February 2019, and to revise other terms and conditions applicable to gas service (“Application”). In its Application, CVA indicates that the proposed rates and charges are designed to increase the Company’s non-gas base revenues by approximately $22.2 million per year, which includes approximately $8 million currently being collected by the Company outside of base rates in a surcharge associated with its Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (“SAVE”) plan (“SAVE Plan”) pursuant to Code § 56-603 et seq. (“SAVE Act”). CVA states that it is proposing to include recovery of the costs associated with approximately $67.5 million of net rate base SAVE investments as of December 31, 2018, in base rates, as permitted by the SAVE Act. Further, the Company indicates that its proposed revenue requirement incorporates the income tax savings from the federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, which reduced the federal corporate income tax from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. CVA asserts that its Application is in compliance with the Commission’s Order dated April 25, 2018, in Case No. PUR-2018-00005. CVA states that the requested increase in annual non-gas base revenues reflects its costs and revenues for the test year ended December 31, 2017; the increase in the Company’s rate base since its last base rate increase in 2016; an updated capital structure and requested return on equity of 10.95%; and certain rate year adjustments that “reasonably can be predicted to occur” during the 12 months ending January 31, 2020 (“Rate Year”), as permitted by Code § 56-235.2; as well as certain customer benefits described in the Application. In the Application, CVA represents that in the time since it was last authorized to increase its rates and charges in the 2016 Rate Case, the Company has made significant capital investments to improve the overall safety, reliability, and integrity of its natural gas system for the benefit of customers and to accommodate steady customer growth. CVA states it will have invested more than $300 million in capital expenditures on behalf of its customers from the beginning of 2017 through the end of 2019. The Company asserts that, of this amount, it will invest over $110 million in modernization through its SAVE Plan and approximately $130 million to support growth on the CVA system. In its Application CVA states that, in the time since the 2016 Rate Case, the Company has also continued to enhance pipeline safety and reliability through its formal integrity management program for its distribution system (“DIMP”) by identifying, prioritizing, and reducing gas distribution pipeline integrity risks. CVA indicates that, apart from DIMP initiatives, the Company conducts other operations and maintenance activities focused on further enhancing the safety of CVA’s infrastructure, its employees, and the communities it serves. CVA asserts that, during the Rate Year, it expects to continue safety-related initiatives including (i) implementation of a Pipeline Safety Management System; (ii) remediation of post1971 shallow transmission mains and remediation of unplanned exposures on distribution mains; (iii) maintenance and repair of measurement and regulation stations; (iv) enhanced emergency response; and (v) enhanced right-of-way maintenance. According to the Company, the proposed rate increase would increase the average monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 5.4 dekatherms from approximately $74.32 to approximately $79.93, or by 7.55%. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on April 23, 2019, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff.

Local surgeon launches online ‘Breast Cancer School for Patients’ October is Breast Cancer Awareness month

cer and one woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes. Today, there are more than 3.3 million breast cancer survivors alive in the United States, according to the foundation’s research.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. It remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death among women. Each year it is estimated that more than 252,710 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,500 will die. On average, every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast can-

Good news about breast cancer trends

In recent years, perhaps coinciding with the decline in prescriptive  hormone replacement therapy after menopause, there has been a gradual reduction in female breast cancer incidence rates among women aged 50 and older. Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, in part due to better screening and early detection, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options.

Looking to help at the local level

One of the leading surgeons serving women in Fauquier and Prince William is Dr. John Williams, Medical Director of the Novant UVA Breast Center. Williams is leading a charge for the importance

of self-advocacy, through a recently launched website  www.breastcancerschool.org. This free website features more than 80 video tutorials where patients with breast cancer can become 'experts' on the subject to take proactive steps towards their care. Historically, patients with breast cancer have embarked on treatment plans with no consideration for a second opinion. Today, however, new cutting-edge information, like the recent groundbreaking TAILORx Breast Cancer Study have proven that taking your medicine, as prescribed, may not always be the best course. This is giving rise to the need for self-advocacy.  Discovering you have breast cancer is devastating, with many women accepting treatment plans without raising critical questions. In many cases, women are prescribed over treatment.

How it began

Williams said he receives phone calls almost daily from patients and friends (of his friends) diagnosed with breast cancer. It was this impetus that led him to create an online educational platform so that patients could easily grasp and retain information. This is notable because few,

with the

if any, breast cancer websites offer a comprehensive video overview of the disease and its many facets. The result is  The Breast  Cancer  School for Patients, (www. breastcancercourse.org), which is designed to teach women (and their caregivers) everything they need to know while providing specific questions to ask their medical teams as they embark on a treatment journey. “My larger goal is educating women nationally about breast cancer and how to obtain the best possible care in their own community through education,” said Williams who is a breast cancer surgeon and medical director of the Novant UVA Breast Center. He has been on staff at Fauquier Hospital for 19 years and cares for the vast majority of the women in this region who develop breast cancer.

Prince William lures Brickyard co-working space with $400K grant By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Neabsco Commons, a new town center development in Dale City, will be the second location for Brickyard, a co-working space for teleworkers and “solopreneurs,” thanks in part to a $400,000 grant from Prince William County. The Prince William Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday, Oct. 2, to award Brickyard a $400,000 “Economic Development Opportunity Fund” grant to use toward office equipment and tenant improvements. Former Disruption Corporation founder Paul Singh launched the first Brickyard in Ashburn in early 2016 along with Ann Orem, a director at Clarke-Hook Real Estate. The company aims to provide working space for “solopreneurs” needing offices, teleworkers needing to get out of their homes and small-business owners who want space to grow. Brickyard’s Ashburn location offers monthly plans for space, ranging from $149 for first-come, firstserved workspace access, to $299 for a desk with a lockable cabinet to $1,199 for a private, lockable office, according to the company’s website. At Neabsco Commons, Brickyard plans a 7,110-square-foot coworking space that will include 14 flex desks, 10 dedicated desks and 20 private offices. Under the deal, Brickyard

will also provide a dedicated desk for a small-business coach from the Flory Business Center at no cost to the county “as part of the shared goal to grow and foster new and existing small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures within the community and county at-large,” according to a press release issued by the county’s economic development department. The vote to award the grant was unanimous among the five supervisors who remained at the Oct. 2 meeting after closed session, including Supervisors Ruth Ander-

son, R-Occoquan; Pete Candland, R-Gainesville; John Jenkins, D-Neabsco; Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville; and Vice Chairman Marty Nohe, R-Coles. Board Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, did not attend the meeting. Supervisors Maureen Caddigan, R-Potomac; and Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, left prior to the vote. Neabsco Commons is on Neabsco Mills Road in Dale City next to Northern Virginia Community College’s Woodbridge campus and across the street from Freedom High

School. The town center’s retail spots are located at the base of a new apartment building. The area is already home to two Hilton hotels and a Tropical Smoothie Café. Jenkins, whose district includes Neabsco Commons, said he welcomes the agreement with Brickyard as a way to help build small businesses and eastern Prince William. “We … are delighted to usher in a new collaborative agreement dedicated to helping generate greater entrepreneurial opportunities in the community for both residents and businesses,” Jenkins said in the press release. “Brickyard is a great addition to our District and Prince William County.” The Brickyard grant marks the county’s third agreement in recent years to help boost business-incubator space, according to the economic development department. The county’s first public-private partnership-based business incubator was launched in December 2012 as the Prince William Science Accelerator. In 2013, the county opened the doors to the second business incubator, the Virginia Serious Game Institute, through a public-private partnership with George Mason University, the press release said.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Caps off to local high school graduation rates Graduation rates in 2018 remain on the upswing for area schools. At a time when good news seems harder to come by, this is worth celebrating. Fauquier County’s Class of 2018 hit a record 96.1 percent on-time graduation rate, according to a new report from the Virginia Department of Education, putting Fauquier schools 13th in the state among Virginia’s 132 school divisions and second among similarly-sized school divisions. That rate far exceeds the state average. The report defines “on-time” graduation as entering ninth-graders graduating four years after they start. Fauquier’s rates have steadily been on the rise since 2008. It should be noted the graduation rate for Fauquier County's black students increased to 95.5 percent in 2018, also beating the state average rate of 89.6 percent. Meanwhile, Prince William

County also saw graduation rates rise for the 11th straight year. The county’s rate of 91.6 percent also beat the state rate. The graduation rates of all student groups, including black, Hispanic, white, Asian, economically disadvantaged, English learners and students with disabilities, also surpassed the state averages, the school division said. Prince William’s graduation rate rose nearly 9 percent in the last decade. When taking into account the challenges faced by many schools, including overcrowding and teacher shortages, the fact that such a high percentage of kids are staying in school and earning their diplomas is good news. Earning a high school diploma has become an absolute necessity. Students who lack one are denied many of the most basic opportunities. They cannot enlist in the

military and can be shut out of even minimum wage jobs. Finishing high school successfully also opens the doors to career advancement and further educational opportunities down the road. Just as important is the impact an educated citizenry has on society as a whole. High school graduates who have a good foundation on how and why things work are far

The pursuit of truth or lack thereof I recently was discussing the Brett Kavanaugh hearings with a friend, and he told me he was for confirmation. When I asked if he watched the last interviews, he said that although he only saw bits and pieces, he viewed Kavanaugh’s rebuttal to the charges laid against him by Professor Ford as justified. I told him I watched both interviews and believed her testimony and thought Kavanaugh’s revealed both political bias and an unsettling temperament. When I asked him if he would revisit his decision if the FBI investigation corroborated Ford’s accusation, he replied “No.” When I challenged him on the need to discover the truth, he said he knew all that he needed to know. That he disagreed with me was not troubling but his acknowledgement that the truth of the matter didn’t matter to him, was.

Upon further reflection, I came to realize that we’ll never know the truth of the multiple accusations brought against Brett Kavanaugh due to the White House-imposed “limited” scope of the FBI investigation. What I do know, however, is that we now have a politically biased new associate justice of whom a substantial portion of the nation disapproves. I also believe that Kavanaugh’s aggressive self-defense wasn’t that at all but, rather, presidential pandering to keep his nomination alive. He is not the first person who has yielded to the corrupting hand of our president and he certainly won’t be the last. But in that moment, he showed me what he was made of and, in my opinion, came up wanting. What the country deserved was a thorough investigation to determine the facts. And what we got was an orchestrated sham that has tarnished

our highest court. This was not due to a lack of professionalism on the part of the FBI, but is solely attributable to President Trump’s interference in the pursuit of truth, any truth that he perceives as inconvenient or personally threatening to him. None of us question that we live in a divisive political reality that constantly seeks to distort truth. But the real question to me is what happens to us when we no longer value or pursue truth…no longer can discern it…or no longer care? I fear the answer to that question more than anything. I remind you of John 8:32, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make ye free.” We cannot remain a free and united society if we do not seek the truth, demand the truth, and have the ability to discern it. Don Bachmann Marshall, Va.

more likely to take an interest in and have a positive influence in the community. In the end, in a public school setting, we all want to know we are getting value for our investment. These positive graduation rate numbers are a relatively good indicator of money well spent. Well done, students, teachers, administrations and staff.

Lateef for school board chair As one who has advocated for education before the Prince William County School Board and knows the records of the candidates, I can enthusiastically endorse Dr. Babur Lateef for chairman in this year’s election. He is the only major candidate who has consistently put aside politically partisan considerations and supported measures to assure parents that policies are being made to recruit and retain quality teachers and staff in order to achieve greater student success.

Kavanaugh’s nomination means it’s time to flip the House Flipping the House of Representatives is now even more urgent with [Judge Brett] Kavanaugh’s elevation to the Supreme Court, imposed by Republicans. America’s court of last resort has lost its ability to serve as a check, today, to [President] Trump’s often shrill and misguided policies. How are Americans to believe, tomorrow, they will still get a fair shake? The surest antidote to the Republicans’ weaponization of the

Supreme Court is to build a congressional majority prepared to do the hard work on behalf of all Americans (and I mean all) to adopt strong laws that will withstand the pressures of corporate special interests driving the Republican agenda.  By flipping the House, Democrats can secure a voice and a place at the negotiations table for a growing majority of Americans who can no longer count on

Republicans to make the rights decisions, from affordable care to good jobs and from a clean environment to standing for our veterans. Everything that happened in the Senate -- especially how the Republicans dismissed the testimony of a sexual assault survivor -- crystallizes for me why I am getting involved to make the “Blue Wave” happen and support Leslie Cockburn, a tough person who knows how to ask the right questions, stand

up to power and get things done. We cannot sit back and expect the nine “well-meaning” judges on the court to do the right thing anymore. We need to get involved. The first step, on Election Day, is to flip the House. Let’s do it together. Thomas Bruce The Plains

Two great teams with big dreams Lethal Sharks outlast mighty Patriot in five high caliber sets By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Colgan Sharks’ home-court advantage seemed negligible Monday in Manassas. But there was a clear East-court supremacy during their 29-27, 2025, 25-16, 14-25, 15-10 win over the Patriot Pioneers in a battle between two of the state’s best Class 6 volleyball teams. The team that played on the West side of Colgan’s gym lost every set as the Sharks (16-3) and Pioneers (18-3) alternated victories in an even match. So when Colgan won a coin flip prior to the fifth set, Sharks coach Keith Mesa decided to relinquish the advantage of taking the first serve in that deciding game. Instead, he chose to play on the East side. Even if that was only a superstitious move, it paid off as Colgan took an early 7-3 lead in the fifth set and finished on a 6-1 run after Patriot tied the score at 9-9. “Usually we’ll take serve,” Mesa said of his fifth-set decision. “I don’t know what it was about that [East] side, but as a coach that’s what you do. If you know something’s playing right, then you’ve got to go to it.” The Sharks’ 16-3 record includes an impressive 4-0 run in five-set matches. “That says something about the way our kids are prepared mentally,” Mesa said. “When it’s time to win, they’re not scared. … Our kids will go out there and be aggressive.” The Sharks had six kills, two aces and a stuff block in the fifth set while taking advantage of five Patriot errors and one net violation. They did that despite losing the fourth set by 11 points with only six kills. “They don’t get down on each other,” Mesa said of the Sharks’ lopsided fourth-set loss. “I really think it helped us that we’ve been in these fifth-set matches before. … So I think they were relaxed.” Colgan also showed great poise during the first set. The Sharks took a 15-10 lead, but Patriot rallied to tie the score 24-24. Alternating points followed until a Hannah Crawley

That was the longest set of the season for Colgan. “It’s just two really good teams going at it,” Sharks senior Madison Bowser said. “This was a huge win.” The match had no influence on either team’s hopes of winning a district championship or earning a region berth because Colgan plays in the Cardinal District that feeds into Region 6C while the Pioneers play in the Cedar Run District that feeds into Region 6D. But it could have served as a postseason playoff preview. “Tonight made us a better team because … that Patriot team is so defensively disciplined,” Mesa said. “And they’re so technically sound. It was really a challenge for us. “I don’t have enough good things to say about that team,” he said. Patriot coach Katie Swanson reciprocated the praise. “By far one of the best teams that

we’ve played,” she said. “I’m super impressed with Colgan’s defense and their ability to put the ball away” offensively. Middle hitter and University of Texas A&M recruit Madison Bowser led Colgan with four kills, one ace and one assist during the fifth set. The 6-foot senior gave the Pioneers no chance to defend against the winning point by elevating above the net to spike a quick-set from Lough. “It was the best feeling ever; just hearing the crowd and all my teammates behind me supporting me,” Bowser said. “I really love playing in these types of matches because it makes you want to be the person who ends it all.” She finished the match with 17 kills, helping Lough amass 48 assists. “There’s just not a lot of people who are athletic enough to do a lot about it” defensively, Mesa said of Bowser’s swings. “And she’s smart. When she doesn’t get [perfect] sets she’ll tip

short, she’ll lay off, she’ll push deep.” Crawley had 11 kills, four aces and 22 digs, while Vanessa Thompson had 18 digs and two aces. Bowser and Alyssa Andrews added four blocks each, and Testimony Garrison had 10 kills and 12 digs. Sami Lydell and Andrews also had four kills each with Lydell producing three aces. Thompson and Lough added two aces each. For Patriot, junior outside hitter Ashley Casey finished with 18 kills. She had only four kills during the initial two sets, but she amassed 14 over the final three sets. “When she gets on a run, there’s no stopping her,” Swanson said. “She’s really able to control the ball, see different holes on the floor and she’s just able to put balls away.” Casey helped Patriot setter Samantha Carroll finish with 49 assists as Zahra Flowers amassed 13 kills and Julia DeCoste produced 12 kills and two aces. Middle blocker Nicole Epstein added five kills and two blocks.

Vroom, Vroom. Patriot, Battlefield field hockey teams stay red hot By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

With hat tricks from Jennifer Rigney and Lauren Gresham, the Patriot Pioneers dominated Forest Park’s field hockey team 7-0 Thursday at home in Nokesville. Gresham’s three goals increased her season total to 13. Caroline Henry also scored a goal to supplement

Rigney’s three. Patriot improved to 13-1 and 7-1 in the Cedar Run District on Monday with a 2-1 win over Colgan. They’ve won six in a row since a 2-0 loss to first place Battlefield on Sept. 20. Also last week, Patriot downed Stonewall Jackson 3-0 as Abby Fraser scored two goals and Caroline Henry one.

Battlefield blanks Osbourn 9-0

District at 5-0. They’re 9-2-1 overall. Sydney Natysin and Rachel Bartheld each scored once and Natysin added two assists. Also last week, Battlefield beat Stonewall Jackson 3-1 on the road with goals from Tori Witmer, Rachel Bartheld and Nguyen. Kathleen Dwyer added one assist.

New QB Canestra helps Battlefield stomp Osbourn, 38-6 By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Kyle Canestra revived the Battlefield offense in his first start at quarterback by leading the Bobcats to a 38-6 football victory over visiting Osbourn last Friday. The former starting safety completed 9-of-18 passes for 118 yards and three touchdowns as the Bobcats (4-2) ended a two-game losing streak and kept Osbourn (0-6) winless. Coming off losses to Woodbridge 35-6 and Chantilly 27-6, coach Mark Cox turned to Canestra, who threw two TD passes to Kevin Zieleniewski and one TD to former QB Hunter Key. After playing quarterback the first five games, Key had three catches for 44 yards at receiver. Zieleniewski had six catches for 74 yards and TDs of 10 and 15 yards. Sean McCarthy led the Bobcats with 66 yards on 10 carries, while Savion Phinizy had 45 yards and two touchdowns on six carries.

Going out in a blaze of glory Where to look for NOVA’s best fall colors By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Virginia’s beauty is renown. From its beaches to the Piedmont to the Blue Ridge Mountains, planning a day or weekend getaway is a challenge handily met. The question is where to go? If the urge to hit the road strikes during the fall color season, the answer is almost a universal, “to the mountains.” With the Appalachians running the entire western spine of the commonwealth, stunning views coupled with rural drives make heading westward an obvious choice. This is particularly true for those of us in Northern Virginia who live only an hour or so from the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park, the Elysian Fields. But the question in many minds this year might be, “Will the monsoon-like spring and summer deaden the fall col-

ors?” The short answer is: not likely. In fact, October’s glory is already beginning to emerge on the high peaks of the Blue Ridge. Soon enough, it will be showcasing reds, golds and yellows as they tumble down the slopes and into our backyards and local parks. Temperatures are the driving force for a colorful display of autumn colors. The cooler the better. Evening temperatures in the 50s and 60s will accelerate the magical chemistry behind foliage.

Where to go?

The obvious answer is the mountains. But there’s one caveat to a day serenely driving the nearby Skyline Drive or Blue Ridge Parkway further south. Everybody else has the same idea. Yes, the views are impressive, but a bumperto-bumper caravan might not induce the

relaxed frame of mind you’re seeking. Consider an alternative: Head west on U.S. 211, north up U.S. 17 or south on U.S. 29. When you’ve pulled away from the population centers, select any secondary road off the main highway and let the endless backcountry roads take you wherever. The goal is to stay off the four lane highways as long as possible. Create your own custom-designed backcountry road excursion. One of the modern marvels of today’s technology is the GPS systems embedded in our vehicles, stand-alone auto units or cell phones. The fear of getting lost in rural areas is now a thing of the past. You can invest in a spirit of adventure without the stress of constantly asking, “Where are we?” The beauty of these day trips is

experiencing rural Virginia at its finest. Since minimal traffic will be encountered, you’ll find few vehicles to deal with so you can amble along at 25 to 35 miles per hour —even slower when you hit gravel country lanes. Simply pull over when a local comes up behind you. The payoff comes as you pass bucolic farms and pastures with peaceful grazing livestock, rolling hills with views up to the Blue Ridge and endless ponds and lakes. And of course, the amazing fall foliage. With the density of wineries in our nearby counties you’ll likely stumble upon an occasional “grape shop” where you can take a break and responsibly enjoy its vineyard products and pastoral views.

Priming the pump

Here are just few suggestions for launching your private travel agency: Take U.S. 211 west past Amissville and take a right onto Poes Road South. Travel about four miles and take a right onto Crest Hill Road and then an immediate left onto Poes Road North. You’ll emerge on U.S. 522 north outside of Flint Hill. Rappahannock Cellars is three miles north on U.S. 522. Take U.S. 211 west to Little Washington. In the village, take a right onto Main Street and then a left onto Harris Hollow Road and travel Harris Hollow until it becomes Gid Brown Hollow Road and ends at U.S. 211. Quievremont Winery is on your left just before U.S. 211. Take U.S. 17 north to a right on to Va. 245 to The Plains. Take a right on Va. 55 and then an immediate left onto Halfway Road. Be adventurous here and take any upcoming left of your choosing to wander through beautiful horse country. Take U.S. 29 south and take a right onto to Freeman’s Ford Road near Remington.

PWCA honors conservation â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heroesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Prince William Conversation Alliance has named two conservation heroes. Jim Waggener was given the 2018 Nature Champion Award. For more than 30 years, he has led wildlife surveys in Prince William and surrounding areas. Thanks to the surveys, Waggener knew the former Harry Diamond Lab was a high-quality, high-diversity natural area. After the Army closed the site, Waggener led the successful community effort to protect the property as the Occoquan Bay National Wild-

life Refuge. Today, this refuge is a spot of green in a densely developed area and a part of Northern Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network of natural Jim Waggener areas. Wa g g e n e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surveys use a standardized protocol to document high-quality habitats as well as changes to species diversity for birds, butterflies and plants. For butterflies, he has the second -ongest running survey in the coun-

try, with data that shows the longterm effects of land uses and climate change. Nancy Vehrs received the 2018 Heart of Gold Award. She is a lifelong resident of Prince William County and an advocate for green open spaces. Thanks to her efforts, the county adopted Virginia Bluebells as the official county flower. She contributed to the publication of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Virginia Flora,â&#x20AC;? the first comprehensive reference work on the native and naturalized plants of Virginia. Vehrs serves on the Board of the

Upper Occoquan Service Authority. As president of the Virginia Native Plant Society and chair of its Prince William chapter, Nancy Vehrs she focuses on promoting the use of native plants for home and commercial landscaping. She also leads weekly bird walks, has been a team leader at the Nokesville Christmas Bird Count since 2008 and leads a sector of the Manassas Butterfly Count.

Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior centers celebrate accreditation Prince William Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior â&#x20AC;&#x2039; centers recently celebrated their accreditation from the National Institute of Senior Centers. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two senior centers are the second and third senior centers in the state to receive the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accreditation. The staff from the centers celebrated this milestone with events that included center members and elected officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so very, very fortunate to have such a dedicated and passionate team here of professional staff, volunteers, the friends group and the Area Agency on Aging that have come together to provide such

a wonderful facility, with bus service to and from, the programming, the lunches and the opportunity to socialize with friends and neighbors,â&#x20AC;? said Supervisor Frank J. Principi, D-Woodbridge, at the Woodbridge Senior Center celebration, which also served as a celebration of the center's 35th anniversary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The accreditation truly moves the needle on the quality of life and the quality of service at the center,â&#x20AC;? Principi said. The two-year accreditation process means the centers successfully met the institute's nine standards that include purpose, community, gov-

ernance, administration and human resources, program planning, evaluation, fiscal management, records and reports, and facility. Supervisor Marty Nohe, R-Coles, who attended the celebrations at the Manassas and Woodbridge Senior Centers, said the accreditations illustrate the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to the quality of life for residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These folks are from the generation that built this community, and we want to give them the best facilities that we can,â&#x20AC;? Nohe said. Emma Caudill, a Manassas Senior Center member, agreed with everyone about the accreditation and

said the senior center was â&#x20AC;&#x153;great and wonderful.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good things happen here. I think it's great. It just shows how good we are here,â&#x20AC;? said Emma Caudill, a Manassas Senior Center member. Nohe said that the accreditation only proved what was common knowledge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that the national accreditation is justification of what we knew all along,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some of the best facilities in the state, and really in the country, and we're going to continue our commitment to that.â&#x20AC;?
