COREY STEWART ON KKK FLYERS:
‘I have always condemned the KKK and similar groups’ By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer
The local chapter of the NAACP, elected officials and local residents spoke out in the wake of white-supremacist literature recently found in western Prince William driveways. Five speakers at the Prince William Board of Supervisors’ July 10 meeting even called for Board Chairman Corey Stewart to resign. Stewart, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate he has been associated with white supremacists in the past, missed the meeting but issued a public
statement about the hate literature the next day. “I have always condemned the KKK and similar groups,” Stewart’s statement said. “There is no room in our community for these vile organizations.” In February 2017, Stewart participated in a Charlottesville rally alongside Jason Kessler. Kessler went on to help organize the Unite the Right rally in August 2017 that resulted in the death of Corey Stewart counter-protester Heather Heyer.
Stewart also called Wisconsin congressional candidate Paul Nehlen, a self-described “prowhite” candidate, his “personal hero” in early 2017. Stewart has since disavowed any association Kessler and Nehlen, saying he wasn’t fully aware of their extreme views. More than 10 speakers at the supervisors meeting implored the board members to speak out against the racist flyers, which turned up in residential areas in Prince William and Fauquier counties on Sunday, July 8.

Prince William’s crime rate inches up in 2017, but murders plummet Homicides down 82 percent, reported rapes up 87 percent By Jonathan Hunley/Times Staff Writer Prince William County’s crime rate ticked up slightly in 2017 to 14 crimes per 1,000 residents. The county’s population stood at about 456,000 in 2017.
Four murders, all stabbings, were committed in Prince William County in 2017. That’s down 82 percent from the number of murders the county saw in 2016, which was 22.

Prince William’s overall crime rate increased slightly in 2017, though murders were down dramatically, county Police Chief Barry Barnard announced Friday. Barnard released the police department’s 2017 Crime Report at a news conference July 13. The overall crime rate was 14 crimes per 1,000 Prince William residents in 2017, placing the county in the bottom third in terms of crime rates in the Washington, D.C., area, but up from 13.7 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2016.

ders, rapes, aggravated assaults, robberies, burglaries, car thefts and larcenies are used to calculate crime rates. “Prince William County is, and continues to be, a safe community,” Barnard said. There were four murders in the county in 2017, an 82 percent reduction from 2016’s 22. All of were the result of stabbings, and all but one resulted in arrests. (The offender in the fourth case committed suicide.)

‘I have always condemned the KKK and similar groups’ STEWART from page 1 “Hate has no home in Brentsville,” said Brentsville resident Maggie Hansford.“Hate has no home in any community,” Prince William NAACP President Rev. Cozy Bailey said in a prepared statement, “especially a diverse, minority-majority community like Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. We hope our elected officials send a strong statement of unity by standing with us.” At least four of them did. Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, issued a statement on Facebook. It said, “This weekend, western Prince William County was targeted by hate mongers seeking to incite hatred and divide our community. I condemn these despicable acts in the strongest terms.” Lawson noted the county supervisors voted
June 26 to proclaim Prince William “a hate-free and bigot free zone.” “There is no place for repulsive rhetoric like this in our county, commonwealth or country,” she added. Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Marty Nohe, R-Coles, also spoke against the flyers Tuesday. He said the literature, which included recruitment material for the Ku Klux Klan, do not represent who the community is in Prince William. “We condemn this kind of thinking, this kind of attitude,” he said. Supervisors Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, and Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, also denounced the flyers on Facebook. Candland said he was “outraged and saddened” after hearing about the incident. “These vile racist and hate-promoting organizations have no place in Prince William County,
the state of Virginia, or the United States. I strongly condemn the KKK distributing flyers and emphasize that any hate or discriminatory groups are not welcome in our community.” And, said Anderson: “I condemn the reported recent actions of a KKK-affiliated group in our area. I stand with the NAACP in their call out against hate in our diverse community.” Bags containing the literature were left on driveways sometime during the overnight hours between July 8 and July 9 in Gainesville and in Bristow. They were weighed down with birdseed and possibly thrown from a vehicle. The incident followed a similar one in April in Triangle. Both are under investigation. “So we take these events very, very seriously,” Prince William Police Chief Barry Barnard told supervisors July 10. Reach Jonathan Hunley at jhunley@fauquier. com
Prince William’s crime rate inches up in 2017, but murders plummet CRIME from page 1 In three of the cases, the victim was known to the offender. One was domestic-related, and two were gang-related. In one, a store loss-prevention officer was killed when he confronted a shoplifter. The police were pleased that the number of murders was low, but Barnard was quick to say that any murder is significant. So no one is proclaiming victory just because the numbers went down from 2016, he
said. “We are always looking downriver to see what we can do to continue to have a positive influence on that,” he said. Reports of rape increased in 2017, to 112 from 60 the year before, but they included 37 that were alleged to have occurred in a previous year. Only one of the rapes was reported as being committed by a stranger. The other victims knew their attackers. Why was the overall number so
high? Authorities aren’t certain, Barnard said, but it could be that more education about the subject has led victims to be more likely to come forward.
Other crimes
In 2017, aggravated assaults increased by 10 percent over 2016. Car thefts increased by 21 percent. And larcenies increased by 3 percent. The number of burglaries decreased in 2017 from the previous year by 10 percent. Robberies decreased by 1 percent.
Crimes committed by undocumented immigrants
The department also keeps statistics on crimes committed by people believed to be undocumented immigrants. About 2.1 percent of all crimes were attributed to such residents last year. In 2017, 12 undocumented people were arrested in connection with murders (including those that hap-
pened in previous years), five were arrested on charges of rape, eight on charges of aggravated assaults, and two on charges of burglary. Last year, undocumented immigrants committed 1 percent of all larcenies, 2.1 percent of non-aggravated assaults and 0.4 percent of all drug violations.
Crash data
In 2017, there were 4,198 total traffic crashes in the county, a 1.2 percent decrease from 2016. There were 18 fatal crashes last year, down 30.8 percent from the previous year. Alcohol was a factor in four of the fatal crashes, which is 50 percent less than in 2016. There were 1,132 DUI arrests in 2017, up 26.9 percent from 2016. There were 36,676 traffic citations issued last year, down 0.7 percent from 2016. Officers issued 93 driving while texting citations, up 72.2 percent from 2016.

Prince William police are investigating a body found Friday morning by a person walking in a residential area near Veterans Park. But they say there’s “no public threat or need for concern” at this time, according to a Prince William County police press release.

The police investigation found that sometime between 5 p.m. on July 9 and 1 a.m. on July 10, an unknown suspect or suspects struck three to four windows of the courthouse “with what was believed to be a BB-type gun,” police said in the news release.

A Fredericksburg man was arrested after, police said, he brandished a handgun at another driver at a traffic light in Woodbridge. Officers were called to investigate the incident on June 1 at 6:20 a.m. in the area of Minnieville and Spriggs
roads in Woodbridge, Prince William County police said in a news release. A 25-year-old man told police that he was stopped at a traffic light in that area when a Chevrolet pickup truck pulled alongside his vehicle. The pickup truck driver “was holding a handgun in his hand, which he then pointed upward,” police said in the news release. The driver “yelled toward the victim about his driving before pulling away,” police said. Police investigated and identified the pickup truck driver as Jesse William Blair Lyon and obtained a warrant for his arrest. Lyon, 30, of Cropp Road in Fredericksburg, was arrested during a traffic stop on July 10 and charged with brandishing. He has a court date Aug. 21.
Manassas-area 7-Eleven robbed July 8 by man carrying red cooler
An armed man robbed a Manassas-area 7-Eleven convenience store, Prince William County police said. Officers were called to 7301 Sudley Road in the Manassas area of Prince William County at 11:11 a.m. Sunday, July 8. An employee told police a man wearing a mask and carrying a red cooler entered the store and brandished a handgun.

Police searched the area with a K-9 and the Fairfax County police helicopter but did not locate the

Officers were called to the Best Western at 10820 Balls Ford Road at 1:36 p.m. on Sunday, July 15, Prince William County police said in a new release. Police investigated and learned that Jeffrey Scott Ruszczewski II was involved in “an ongoing verbal altercation” with a 21-year-old woman, his acquaintance, “after attending a concert in the area.” At some point, Ruszczewski left the hotel and returned to find the woman speaking with an unknown 24-year-old man, police said. “During the encounter, the accused retrieved a knife and stabbed both of the victims in the upper body causing non-life-threatening injuries,” police said in the news release.

Fredericksburg City Council moves forward on new P-Nats stadium By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer
COURTESY IMAGE The Potomac Nationals released this rendering of its proposed new stadium in Fredericksburg. The team is negotiating a new $35 million stadium in Central Park that could open in 2020.
FREDERICKSBURG — The Potomac Nationals are one step closer to moving, as the Fredericksburg City Council voted unanimously last week to approve a letter of intent with the team to build a new, $35 million stadium. The letter of intent, approved by July 10, kicks off a 120-day study period during which the two sides will plan moving the team from Woodbridge, where it’s played since 1984, to a ballfield outside the sprawling Central Park shopping center in an area called Celebrate Virginia South. “I think it will be a great asset to the community,” Fredericksburg City Councilman Matt Kelly said. The P-Nats, a Minor-League affiliate of the Washington Nationals, announced June 26 that the team could soon enter into exclusive negotiations

for a stadium in Fredericksburg, and that play could begin there as early as 2020. Under the proposed deal, the P-Nats would own and finance the stadium, but Fredericksburg would pledge annual payments of $1.05 million toward the 5,000-seat facility’s debt service. Fredericksburg officials say they can recoup some of their annual contribution with about $700,000 in new taxes and revenue generated by renting out the stadium to outside entities. The Silver Companies, developer of Central Park who will lease the property for the stadium to the team, also has pledged $100,000 annually toward the project. One reason the team is moving is that aging G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium, where it plays now, no longer meets Major League Baseball’s standards for its minor-league affiliates. The team had been negotiating with Prince William County officials for years on a plan to construct a new stadium at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center. The idea was to finance the facility with public industrial development bonds. The P-Nats pledged to pay the estimated $2.7 million in annual debt service, while the county promised to spend about $7 million to prepare the site for construction and another $5 million for road improvements. The plan failed to win support from a majority of supervisors, however, and the negotiations conked out in July 2017.
P-Nats owner: Fredericksburg deal ‘extraordinary opportunity’
Fredericksburg, meanwhile, has been in talks with the P-Nats’ owners for about a year. P-Nats’ Chairman and CEO Art Silber said it was unfortunate that a ballpark deal couldn’t work out in Prince William, but that Fredericksburg arrangement is an “extraordinary opportunity” for the team. “Prince William County staff and members of the Board of Supervisors for many, many years have treated us in a totally first-class manner,” he said. Silber also called the Fredericksburg council’s unanimous vote a “tremendous statement of confidence in the project.” In turn, Councilwoman Kerry Devine said she was particularly impressed with Silber and his family. They’re community-oriented and seem to appreciate Fredericksburg, she said. “I look forward to attending games right here at home,” Devine said. The P-Nats also announced this week they have entered into a 10year partnership with Mary Washington Healthcare, a not-for-profit regional system of two hospitals and 28 healthcare facilities and wellness services. It represents the first “Founding Partnership” agreement for the new stadium project, a news release said. Reach Jonathan Hunley at jhunley@fauquier.com

Kaine, Warner cautious about Kavanaugh, Stewart supportive By James Ivancic
“There are many critical issues I’ll focus on during this process, including whether Judge Kavanaugh would respect rulings upholding the ACA [Affordable Care Act] and if he would safeguard the civil rights of all Americans, protect women’s freedom to make their own reproductive health care decisions, and be independent and willing to exercise appropriate checks on the Presidency.” — Tim Kaine
Times Staff Writer
Virginia’s two U.S. senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both Democrats, said they’ll carefully review Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s record prior to a Senate vote on President Donald Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. Kaine’s Republican opponent for re-election, Corey Stewart, declared Kavanaugh to be an “excellent” choice. “Judge Kavanaugh has impeccable credentials, unsurpassed qualifications and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law,” Trump said Monday, July 9, in announcing that Kavanaugh, 53, who sits on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, was his nominee to succeed Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy. Those concerned about the fate of the Roe v. Wade abortion decision and a predominately conservative high court worry about Trump’s selection. In a statement on his Facebook page, Warner said, “I plan to carefully examine Judge Kavanaugh’s record and judicial philosophy. I cannot and will not support a nominee who would take this country backwards by undermining our fundamental rights and American values.” Warner said, “The next Supreme Court justice will determine whether women will maintain their constitutional right to reproductive health care; whether we will continue to protect people with pre-existing conditions from discrimination; whether we are a country that lives by our values when it comes to voting rights, women’s rights, workers’ rights, and the rights of LGBT Americans.” Kaine noted that a Supreme Court nomination “is the most consequential appointment that the Senate ever considers.” Supreme Court justices are

Virginia adds ‘veteran’ to driver’s licenses and ID cards Staff Reports Virginia residents who are also veterans can now prove their former military service on their driver’s licenses or state-issued ID cards. Thanks to new legislation that went into effect July 1, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles offers a “veteran indicator” on the cards to give vets a convenient way to validate their service. The new option is offered by DMV on behalf of the Department of Veterans Services. State Del. John McGuire, R-56th, sponsored the bill that authorized the new driver’s licenses. McGuire, a former Navy Seal whose district includes parts of Spotsylvania, Henrico, Louisa and Goochland counties, sponsored the bill that enabled the change. He was the first Virginian to receive the veteran indicator on his driver’s license, according to a DMV press release. “We want Virginia veterans to be able to easily show that they are veterans,” DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb said in the press release. “We’ve combined what was a stand-alone veteran ID with the driver’s licenses and ID cards. Now veterans can carry just their driver’s license or ID card to take advantage of discounts offered to veterans by restaurants and retailers.” To qualify, vets must have received an honorable or general discharge and must provide DMV with a photocopy of a document proving their military service or a combination of documents that show branch of service, discharge date and discharge status. Those documents include the DD 214, DD 256, WD AGO or NGB 22, the press release said. Virginia veterans can apply for the veteran indicator online or in person at a DMV customer service center. There is no fee to add the veteran indicator, however, customers must pay the standard fee for an original or replacement license or ID, which will display the veteran indicator. The fee for a replacement card is $20, according to the DMV website. Customers who already have a veteran ID card can continue to use it. For more information, visit dmvNOW.com/veteranindicator.

Rural crescent under attack? By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
More than 100 people packed Guiseppe’s restaurant Monday night, but the crowd wasn’t there for the Haymarket eatery’s baked pasta or pizza. They were there to discuss the “rural crescent” and possible changes some say could threaten its 80,000 acres with more development. Organized by the Prince William Conservation Alliance, the discussion, dubbed “Keep Your Green,” was a kickoff of sorts to the debate the Prince William Board of Supervisors is expected to take up this fall over changes to current rural crescent zoning rules that restrict development to one home per 10 acres while generally forbidding connections to the public water and sewer. Established in 1998, the rural crescent was meant to slow development in the Prince William’s northern and western stretches to concentrate population growth in the southern and eastern areas of the county. But the supervisors called for a study in 2012 to assess how those rules are working and whether they are doing enough to protect rural land. Completed in 2014, the study recommended the county consider changes to guide rural development in future years. In September 2016, the board voted to direct the planning department to further study
three specific ideas: • Allowing denser “cluster developments” in the rural crescent that could double the allowed existing ratio of 10 homes per 100 acres to possibly 20 homes per 100 acres. • Allowing denser development in areas the study deemed “transitional ribbons” around the rural crescent — areas already more densely developed because of building that predates the rural crescent. • Funding a “purchase of development rights” program using county tax dollars to pay rural landowners to conserve their land. • Facilitating a “transfer of development rights” program to allow developers to purchase development credits from rural crescent property owners. County officials will release a draft of the zoning text amendments July 27 for public review ahead of three public meetings planned for September, said Kim Hosen, executive director of the Prince William Conservation Alliance.
Cluster developments, ‘transitional ribbon’
Speakers at the forum expressed concerns about whether the changes
Crowded forum kicks off debate on proposed changes to rural zoning rules
would chip away at rural crescent protections while also burdening the county’s already overcrowded schools with more students. Martin Jeter, president of the Mid-County Civic Association, spoke out against denser development in the “transitional ribbons” as well as more intense cluster zoning. Jeter said he feared the transitional areas would be “ill-defined,” allowing development to creep into the rural crescent. Regarding cluster zoning, Jeter noted that doubling the allowed density would make it harder to connect undeveloped land for wildlife corridors, farming and open space. Jeter predicted that both issues would be “front and center” in the upcoming public debate about the future of the rural crescent. “These are going to be the two hot-button issues,” Jeter said. “If these are adopted, they would add homes to the rural crescent, they would create a need for additional services and additional taxes and they would disrupt existing land-use patterns on both sides of the rural crescent.” Prince William County School Board member Gil Trenum (Brentsville) noted that county schools are already expecting an additional 12,000 students over the next 10 years even without the allowing more homes in the rural crescent.

Trenum also reminded the crowd that the most recent estimate to alleviate existing overcrowding and rid county schools of their 200 classroom trailers is pegged at about $300 million. Soil and Water Conservation Board member Elizabeth Ward warned that Prince William County is slowly depleting its groundwater aquifers, and that public-water providers are already preparing to add reservoirs to keep up with existing growth.
What about the farmers?
Rural landowners at the meeting, however, asked how the planned changes would help farmers, especially those pressed by market changes that have made farming less profitable. Wade House, whose family owns Dutchland dairy farm, said allowing land to be developed in the transitional ribbon “would help us some.” “If we’re not going to allow this land to be developed, we need to pay the farmers correctly and compensate them for not developing the property,” House said. “…I’m not advocating that we just build up Prince William County. But what I am advocating is that as we go through this, we remember there are people who need to be treated fair.” Hosen noted the rural crescent study found that more than 70 percent of respondents said they agreed with the idea of investing tax dollars to preserving the county’s rural area. “Transfer of development rights is one thing on the table, purchase of development rights is another thing that would allow you to cash out from your property and still farm,” she added. Del. Tim Hugo, R-40th, noted western Prince William residents have successfully waged other fights against perceived threats to the rural crescent, including against the Bi-County Parkway, which was removed from Prince William County’s comprehensive plan, and the Dominion Energy power lines, which will now be partially buried as a result of legislation Hugo attached to a larger bill retooling state rules regulating Dominion electricity rates. The challenge now, Hugo said, is for residents to convey a united message to the county supervisors. “There’s a way to fight all these things, but you have to say what you want,” Hugo said. “Do you want homes on 5-acre lots? On 10-acre lots? Or do you want Burke? Do you want Reston?” The arguments made sense to Bethanne Kim, a resident of the rural crescent, who said overcrowded schools and groundwater supplies are her biggest concerns. “The important thing is just to preserve the rural crescent,” Kim said. “It’s pretty simple. Our schools are already extremely overcrowded. It doesn’t make sense to make matters worse.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com.

State police have another busy Fourth of July Staff Reports Fourth of July marked a busy holiday for Virginia State Police when it came to arresting impaired drivers and citing speeding motorists. In addition, a total of three fatal crashes occurred in Augusta, Culpeper and Northampton counties during the two-day holiday, statistical counting period. Once again this year, Virginia State Police participated in Operation C.A.R.E., or Crash Awareness and Reduction Effort, which is a traffic safety initiative that began 12:01 a.m. July 3 and ended July 4 at midnight, according to a state police press release.

ity and traffic enforcement efforts on major travel holidays, such as the Fourth of July. The 2018 Fourth of July Operation C.A.R.E. initiative resulted in troopers stopping and arresting a total of 42 suspected drunk drivers during the 48-hour statistical counting period. Troopers also stopped and issued 4,911 summonses for speeding and 1,251 for reckless driving. Troop-
ers cited 429 safety belt violations and 114 child restraint violations. “Every impaired driver who makes the choice to get behind the wheel of a vehicle puts countless other lives at risk of injury or death,” said Virginia State Police Superintendent Col. Gary T. Settle. “We need every Virginian to make the smart, safe and sober decision to never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Changing drivers’ dangerous behaviors saves lives. During these summer months, we ask that all drivers and passengers adopt safe habits like always buckling up, putting down the phone and, of course, never driving impaired. Those are the first steps toward achieving our goal of zero fatalities. We can get there, but we need everyone’s help to make it a reality.”

Gainesville/Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | July 18, 2018 NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY, FOR REVISION OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER R, BEAR GARDEN GENERATING STATION CASE NO. PUR-2018-00085
•Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider R. •Dominion requests a total revenue requirement of $58.682 million for its 2019 Rider R. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on January 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 June 1, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion” or “Company”), pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”), filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an annual update of the Company’s rate adjustment clause, Rider R (“Application”). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with the Bear Garden Generating Station (“Bear Garden Project” or “Project”), a natural gas and oil-fired combined-cycle electric generating facility and associated transmission interconnection facilities located in Buckingham County, Virginia. In 2009, the Commission approved Dominion’s construction and operation of the Bear Garden Project and also approved a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider R, for Dominion to recover costs associated with the Project. The Bear Garden Project became fully operational in 2011. In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider R for the rate year beginning April 1, 2019, and ending March 31, 2020 (“2019 Rate Year”). The two components of the proposed total revenue requirement for the 2019 Rate Year are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. The Company is requesting a Projected Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $55,408,000 and an Actual Cost True Up Factor revenue requirement of $3,274,000. Thus, the Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $58,682,000 for service rendered during the 2019 Rate Year. For purposes of calculating the Projected Cost Recovery Factor in this case, Dominion utilized a rate of return on common equity (“ROE”) of 10.2%, which comprises a general ROE of 9.2% approved by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No. PUR-2017-00038, plus a 100 basis point enhanced return applicable to a combined-cycle generating station as described in Code § 56 585.1 A 6. For purposes of calculating the Actual Cost True-Up Factor, the Company utilized an ROE of 10.6% for the months of January 2017 through March 2017, which comprises the general ROE of 9.6% approved by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No. PUE-2015-00059, plus the 100 basis point enhanced return; an ROE of 10.4% for the period of April 1, 2017, through November 28, 2017, which comprises the general ROE of 9.4% approved by the Commission in its Order in Case No. PUE-2016-00061, plus the 100 basis point enhanced return; and an ROE of 10.2% for the period of November 29, 2017, through December 31, 2017, which comprises the general ROE of 9.2% approved by the Commission in its 2017 ROE Order, plus the 100 basis point enhanced return. If the proposed Rider R for the 2019 Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider Ron April 1, 2019, would decrease the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.09. The Company proposes a change in the methodology for the calculation of a certain allocation factor beginning in 2018 to recognize the output of certain non-utility generators to be used to allocate cost responsibility to the Virginia jurisdiction. In addition, with the exception of the removal of certain Federal and retail choice customers from the Virginia Jurisdiction, the Company indicates it has calculated the proposed Rider R rates in accordance with the same methodology as used for rates approved by the Commission in the most recent Rider R proceeding, Case No. PUR-2017-00072. 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 January 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.

Gainesville / Prince William Times | July 18, 2018
Hate flyers must not be ignored In what has become a far too regular occurrence, Ku Klux Klan recruitment flyers, weighed down by birdseed, made another appearance in Fauquier and Prince William counties. The flyers were left in individual bags and tossed in residential areas. A similar distribution occurred last November. Area law enforcement agencies are looking into it, and some are wary of saying too much as it serves the very purpose desired by those who distributed the flyers: Notoriety. This is a position we certainly can appreciate. And, to be clear, one we are not calling into question. It is not a new argument, and one that has been made by members of the community in the past. On one hand, as a news organization, we are uniquely qualified to understand the power we have to give free publicity to hate groups. But, on the other, always, is the public’s right to know. And, like so many things, it was the public who drew our attention to the flyers. By Sunday morning, we were flooded with messages: “What is this?” “Why is this happening?”
“Who is doing something about it?” Readers come to a newspaper to answer those time-honored questions: Who, what, where, when, why and how. And it is the duty of any news organization to answer them. We are a source of information in the community. Downplaying the problem to prevent bad actors from getting the attention they crave, may seem the polite, moral, or right thing to do. But it has yet to stop this kind of thing from happening. On the contrary, gestures of intolerance seem to be happening with alarming regularity. No doubt, some groups feel emboldened by public events over the last year. They no longer seem content to remain in the shadows. Groups like the one behind the current flyers prey on fear. So, it really isn’t a difficult decision. We will report. Gather information. Find out what happened and where the leaflets appeared. We’ll ask what our public servants are do-
ing to address the situation, or what can be done to address the situation. We’ll deliver that information to our readers. We simply can’t censor the news because it is unpalatable. We’d be derelict. We do our job, we post a story online and put it in print. Then
it is up to the community to decide what to do with that information. Some may choose to ignore it for the very reasons discussed here. It is our hope, however, that our communities inform themselves, educate others and take action to say, “We don’t want this here.”
Surplus funds welcome amid Virginia’s many needs Last week, Gov. Ralph Northam announced that Virginia finished the fiscal year with $551.9 million more in revenue that we projected when writing this year’s budget. First, the good news is that most of this surplus is due to increased tax revenue from payroll-withholding taxes, not one-time revenue sources like capital gains or tax avoidance strategies related to the recent changes in federal tax laws. The Virginia economy has truly started to perform again. However, it is important to keep these numbers in context. The state’s general fund has been under significant stress over the decade since the Great Recession and automatic federal spending cuts caused by a process called a “sequester.” In the nine years I have served in the General Assembly, this is the second fiscal year that the Commonwealth has experienced revenue growth equal to or greater than the historical average. Because of our state Constitution, other state laws and the budget, all of these “new” funds are already allocated. Our laws require that 10 percent or $55 million go to the Water Quality Improvement Fund and that the $500 million balance be contributed to Virginia’s Revenue Stabilization (“rainy day”) Fund, which
SEN. SCOTT SUROVELL 36TH DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA before the 2018 General Assembly session had dropped to historically low levels due to frequent, sluggish revenues. Bond rating agencies had also expressed concern about the lower balances and had indicated that our AAA bond rating could be adversely impacted without significant contributions. While everyone would love to have a tax cut, the General Assembly has enacted dozens of tax cuts over the past two decades, including car tax relief, estate tax repeal and removing the sales tax on food. These tax cuts have completely offset the effect of any tax increases that passed. As a result, most General Fund programs have been starved. Here are some examples. Virginia’s per pupil, elementary-secondary education expenditures are the 15th lowest in the nation and our teacher salaries are the 13th lowest. Virginia’s meager state-funded preschool pro-
gram is still in its infancy. Virginia theoretically set a goal for the state to support 66 percent of the cost of attending college, funding that actually existed when I attended James Madison University from 1989 to 1993. The state now only covers about 33 percent of the cost. This has caused tuition at our state-supported institutions to skyrocket so that tuition rates at these colleges have become the fourth highest in the United States of America. There are 10,000 families on Virginia’s waiting list for Medicaid waivers. These are families with fully disabled juvenile and adult children who are incapable of living independently. A Medicaid “waiver” allows them to live at home or in group homes funded by the commonwealth. Many families, such as military families, move to Virginia only to learn that our state is not supporting these services, services that are basic in most states. State employee salaries continue to lag behind the private sector. Recent reports have concluded that state employees would need a 26-percent pay increase to reach private sector parity. State attorneys’ salaries are 90 percent lower than comparable private sector salaries. Until this year, the Virginia State Police had not had any new trooper positions authorized in over a decade.
Environmental enforcement in Virginia is severely limited by inadequate staffing. Former Gov. George Allen cut employees by 20 percent during his term and the state Department of Environmental Quality has never recovered. We struggled to find funds this year to pay for actual staff at the newly-created Widewater State Park in the 36th District. The state has been sitting on the 1,000 acres for 30 years but has not had the money to open the park. Transportation is funded entirely separately by completely different streams of taxes mainly related to transportation such as gas taxes, annual fees and sales taxes on vehicles. We were only able to restart maintaining our roads and investing in new transportation projects after we increased taxes in the 2013 General Assembly session. At the end of the day, the new funds are good news, but there are dozens of state-funded programs which are desperate for fresh funding. Please continue to provide your feedback as to how we should prioritize spending if we are fortunate enough for revenue to continuing increasing. You can reach me at scott@scottusorvell.org. It is an honor to serve as your state senator.

Expanded Haymarket IcePlex caters to future Ovechkins, Peggy Flemings By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times
It’s been almost a year since the expanded Haymarket IcePlex re-opened its doors, welcoming skaters onto not one but two big sheets of fresh ice. Now the old 84 Lumber building in western Prince William is just as busy as it was in 2015. That’s when, after four years of increasing demand, the decision to double capacity was made. “We’ve been able to expand a lot more of our programs,” said Ron Evans, general manager since the IcePlex’s first day, April 1, 2011. “We’re offering more learn-to-skate classes and more beginning-level hockey programs.” Alongside the original rink wedged into the corrugated metal confines of “the Lumberyard,” there sits an NHL-sized ice sheet underneath a renovated interior. Both are regular hubs of activity. Every day in spite of the summer heat, skates can be heard carving the ice of the facility’s two rectangular rinks. At any given hour you’ll find high-level youth hockey, competitive synchronized skating, neophytes enduring their first time on ice, or an older group joyously re-living their glory days. And you’ll probably see quite few Washington Capitals jerseys, most of them bearing the number 8. “Hockey in Northern Virginia has just exploded since Alex Ovechkin came to the Caps in 2005,” said Ron, who also serves as the IcePlex’s hockey director. “Now that they’ve

Nicknamed the Lumberyard. Recreational opportunities: Public skating; freestyle figure skating; pick-up hockey; birthday parties Educational opportunities: Learn-to-skate classes; hockey classes; private lessons Competitive opportunities: In-house youth & adult leagues; Piedmont Predators travel hockey; National Blades synchronized skating General manager: Ron Evans Best part of Ron’s job: ”Seeing kids learn to have fun on the ice.” won the Stanley Cup, everybody’s talking about hockey in this area.” The meteoric popularity of the local NHL club has helped the IcePlex’s cause, but the demand for ice time has been evident since the facility opened seven years ago. If not for a snowstorm in Woodbridge, there might not have been an ice rink in Haymarket. “The roof of the Prince William Ice Center on February 6, 2010, collapsed because of the snow load,” Evans recited. “We were part of a group of volunteers who had kids playing, and we put together the original rink in here. We got the entire thing ready in about 10 weeks. “We needed a place to play.” The IcePlex has become a place where many play. The in-house elite youth travel club, the Piedmont Predators, has grown to more than 500 players. In recent years the Predators have produced several prospects who’ve landed on college rosters. Two teams of synchronized skaters, the National Blades and Team
Ashburn, have made the Haymarket IcePlex their home base. There’s also an active high school league, the Northern Virginia Scho-
lastic Hockey League. Varsity teams from Battlefield, Patriot, Kettle Run, Fauquier/Highland are among the local teams based out of Haymarket. Evans pointed out that the dual-rink IcePlex allows more people to try their hand at ice sports. The facility provides the chance for kids and their parents to learn to ice dance, play hockey or just skate around. “We want people to come in for public skate, and if they like it, take learn-to-skate classes. If they like that, maybe learn to play hockey,” Evans explained. “You see a kid who’s now 13 who couldn’t skate when they were 5, it’s really rewarding.”
Puck wars for first responders Last year, Prince William County’s Department of Fire and Rescue beat the Police Department 8-3 in the first Guns and Hoses hockey game at Prince William Ice Center. This year, the Police Department extracted payback, winning 8-2. A raffle brought in roughly $1,000 for the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation and Law Enforcement United. And fans liked the play as the stands had appreciative, boisterous first-responder supporters. “I just think it’s a great thing. These guys do a lot for the community. They come out here and the community comes out and supports them, and there were some good players out there,” said fan John Yenchak.

Treetop escape
Woodbridge dad fulfills his own childhood dream for his kids By Jonathan Hunley
Ortiz, 39, has constructed an elaborate structure between two hardwood trees in his Botts Avenue Growing up in a poor neigh- backyard that drivers can see from borhood in Peru, Edmundo Ortiz the Prince William Parkway. “I’m hoping that my children dreamed of having a treehouse. will remember me for doing this for Now he’s made that dream a rethem,” he said. ality for his children in Woodbridge. The treehouse spans a little more than 10 feet by 12 feet, and it has held as many as 10 people at once. It has a spiral staircase, a skylight and even a secret door for Ortiz’s children, Dorian, 7, and Josephine, 3, to play with. Because of the slope of his yard, the treehouse, which has an orange, blue and brown paint scheme, is about 10 feet off the ground on one side, and 7 feet off the ground on the other. It took about four months to build, and it’s a bit more than a year old. Ortiz started construction on the day after Edmundo Ortiz sits in the treehouse he built for his Christmas in 2016, and kids in their Botts Avenue backyard he finished it at the end Times Staff Writer

Woodbridge resident Edmundo Ortiz always wanted a treehouse when he was a kid. Now he’s built an ornate one for his children. Drivers can see it from the Prince William Parkway. of April 2017. He did most of the work himself, getting just a bit of help from others along the way. Ortiz designed the structure himself, too, putting to use an associate degree in architecture from Northern Virginia Community College. It cost him $2,500 plus some materials he recycled, such as wood pallets from the printing business where he works in Alexandria. At first, he intended to build
something small and spend about $300, he told his wife, Norie Ann. “But then it kind of grew, and I kind of got carried away a little bit,” Ortiz said, chuckling. There isn’t a homeowners association in his neighborhood, so he didn’t have to get approval in that way before building, but he said he did get an OK from county officials. see TREETOP, page 16

And probably not as fun for the kids. “They play up here all the time,” Norie Ann Ortiz said last week while sitting at a small table in the treehouse, which has room enough inside to fit four or more chairs comfortably. Dorian said his favorite thing about the treehouse is seeing spiders, but the family slept in the structure once and even enjoyed a bit of modern entertainment in the natural setting another time. “So one time we watched a movie in here,” Dorian said.

Legal Notices DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for Unincorporated Areas of Prince William County, Virginia, Case No. 18-030611P. The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. The FIRM and, if applicable, the FIS report have been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ bfe, or call the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).

COREY STEWART ON KKK FLYERS:
‘I have always condemned the KKK and similar groups’ By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer
The local chapter of the NAACP, elected officials and local residents spoke out in the wake of white-supremacist literature recently found in western Prince William driveways. Five speakers at the Prince William Board of Supervisors’ July 10 meeting even called for Board Chairman Corey Stewart to resign. Stewart, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate he has been associated with white supremacists in the past, missed the meeting but issued a public
statement about the hate literature the next day. “I have always condemned the KKK and similar groups,” Stewart’s statement said. “There is no room in our community for these vile organizations.” In February 2017, Stewart participated in a Charlottesville rally alongside Jason Kessler. Kessler went on to help organize the Unite the Right rally in August 2017 that resulted in the death of Corey Stewart counter-protester Heather Heyer.
Stewart also called Wisconsin congressional candidate Paul Nehlen, a self-described “prowhite” candidate, his “personal hero” in early 2017. Stewart has since disavowed any association Kessler and Nehlen, saying he wasn’t fully aware of their extreme views. More than 10 speakers at the supervisors meeting implored the board members to speak out against the racist flyers, which turned up in residential areas in Prince William and Fauquier counties on Sunday, July 8.

Prince William’s crime rate inches up in 2017, but murders plummet Homicides down 82 percent, reported rapes up 87 percent By Jonathan Hunley/Times Staff Writer Prince William County’s crime rate ticked up slightly in 2017 to 14 crimes per 1,000 residents. The county’s population stood at about 456,000 in 2017.
Four murders, all stabbings, were committed in Prince William County in 2017. That’s down 82 percent from the number of murders the county saw in 2016, which was 22. SOURCE: PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY POLICE INSIDE Calendars...........................................16 Classified............................................17 Lifestyle..............................................14 Opinion...............................................11
Prince William’s overall crime rate increased slightly in 2017, though murders were down dramatically, county Police Chief Barry Barnard announced Friday. Barnard released the police department’s 2017 Crime Report at a news conference July 13. The overall crime rate was 14 crimes per 1,000 Prince William residents in 2017, placing the county in the bottom third in terms of crime rates in the Washington, D.C., area, but up from 13.7 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2016. MurPublic Safety.........................................3 Puzzles...............................................12 Real Estate..........................................15 Sports.................................................13
ders, rapes, aggravated assaults, robberies, burglaries, car thefts and larcenies are used to calculate crime rates. “Prince William County is, and continues to be, a safe community,” Barnard said. There were four murders in the county in 2017, an 82 percent reduction from 2016’s 22. All of were the result of stabbings, and all but one resulted in arrests. (The offender in the fourth case committed suicide.)
