Times Staff Writers
Corey Stewart’s win in the June 12 Republican primary for U.S. Senate brought national attention to Prince William County, where Stewart has served as chairman of the board of supervisors since 2006. But much of the news coverage cast Stewart in a critical light, noting his past associations with Unite the Right rally organizer Jason Kessler,
the remark about Nehlen, in January 2017, and stood alongside Kessler later that spring at a Charlottesville rally that preceded the August 2017 protest during which a counter-protester was killed. But whether the hot national spotlight on Stewart is casting a pall on Prince William County was up for debate this week among Stewart’s fellow members of the board of supervisors as well as leaders in the wider community. Local Democrats have long been
critical of Stewart and his extreme political rhetoric, particularly on immigration. Harry Wiggins, former chairman of the Prince William County Democratic Committee, called Stewart’s candidacy a “poke in the eye” for the county. Supervisor Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, said he’s concerned about Stewart’s continued absence from his role as chairman of the board of supervisors. See STEWART, Page 4
Prince William, Dumfries win $244.3 million for local roads By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Big changes are coming to major thoroughfares in Prince William County as a result of more than $244.3 million in money for local road-construction projects awarded this week by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority. Projects slated in the NVTA’s new sixyear plan, which covers 2018 through 2023, include $81 million toward three, new “grade-separated” intersections on Va. 234 – at University Boulevard, Brentsville Road and Clover Hill Road. The new overpasses will replace the existing traffic lights at high-volume intersections near where Va. 234 approaches Interstate 66. The money fully funds a $24.2 million overpass at Va. 234 and University Boulevard and a $54.9 million overpass at Va. 234 and Brentsville Road, while partially funding the Clover Hill interchange, according the NVTA list of projects. In addition, there is a down payment of $89 million toward the $145 million bypass See ROADS, Page 4
Montclair photographer Brian Smith captured this photo of a family of bald eagles in their treetop nest along the south bank of Quantico Creek, near where the waterway meets the Potomac River. Smith snapped the photo on April 11. Adult bald eagle pairs generally return to the same nest year after year and maintain a territory of between 1 and 6 miles for hunting prey, usually fish. The nests are typically 5 to 6 feet wide and 3 to 4 feet tall. The bald eagle became a U.S. National Emblem in 1782.

Woodbridge man killed in motorcycle accident on I-66 A Woodbridge man was killed Tuesday, June 12, in a motorcycle accident on Interstate 66 near the Dulles Toll Road, the Virginia State Police said Friday. Jorge Ranulfo Sanchez Jr., 27, of Woodbridge, died at the scene of the crash. Sanchez was heading west on I-66 about 9:57 p.m. that night when the motorcycle he was driving sideswiped a 2001 Jaguar XK8, which was also traveling west on the high-
way, according to a state police press release. The impact of the crash caused the motorcycle to run off the left side of the interstate and strike a guardrail. Sanchez was wearing a helmet when the crash occurred but was said to be traveling at a high rate of speed, according to witnesses of the crash, the state police said. The driver of the Jaguar was not injured.
Woman run over in dispute after fender-bender on Prince William Parkway A Maryland man was being held without bond Monday after he allegedly struck and ran over a woman with whom he got into an argument after their vehicles collided on Prince William Parkway near Hastings Drive in Manassas. According to Prince William County police, the two were involved in a “minor” accident on the parkway about 6:05 p.m. on Wednesday, June 13. After the wreck occurred, the man, who was driving a 2011 Ford F150 pickup truck, got out of his truck and exchanged words with the woman, who was driving a 2007 Toyota Scion. Sometime during that exchange, the man hit the woman in the face, according to a police press release. The man then walked back to his pickup truck, and the woman fol-
lowed him. More words were exchanged, and the man placed his truck into drive, knocking the victim to the ground. Robert Dale The man then proWarren ceeded to run over the woman’s leg, the press release said. The woman was transported to a local hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries. Following the investigation, the accused, identified as Robert Dale Warren, 60, of La Plata, Maryland, was arrested on Thursday, June 14, without incident. Warren was charged with malicious wounding, assault and battery, and hit and run, the police report said. He is being held without bond at the Prince William County Adult Detention Center.

Primary voter turnout about 10 percent in Prince William By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer
Last week’s primary elections were sparsely attended events in Prince William and Fauquier counties. Turnout for the Republican primary for U.S. Senate was only 7.78 percent in Fauquier County, Registrar Alex Ables said Friday. And even with Prince William Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart on the ballot, only about 10.5 percent of Prince William County voters turned out to the polls, said Matthew Wilson, spokesman for the Prince William County Office of Elections. That was a little lower than the office expected, Wilson said, considering Stewart, R-at large, was vying for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate. “Usually when there’s a recognizable name, it gets people to the polls,” he said. However, it seemed some people didn’t even know there was an election June 12, Wilson said. Stewart won the statewide primary with 44.9 percent of the vote compared to 43.1 percent for Del. Nick Freitas, of Culpeper, and 12 percent for E.W. Jackson, a minister from Chesapeake. Stewart also carried Prince William with 56.4 percent of the vote, but Freitas took Fauquier with 47.9 percent. On the Democratic side, the marquee race in Prince William and Fauquier was the three-way contest in the 1st District, which stretches from Nokesville to Hampton Roads. Vangie Williams, a federal contractor from King George County, won the nod there. She carried Fauquier with 36 percent of the vote.

Edwin Santana greets a voter outside of Forest Park High School June 12. Second-place finisher Edwin Santana, a former U.S. Marine from Stafford, won in Prince William with 44.5 percent. In Fauquier County, turnout for the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District was at 2.98 percent, Ables said. However, only voters in the Catlett, Lois, Morrisville and Bealeton precincts were eligible to cast ballots in that contest. While low, the numbers didn’t
surprise Ables. Turnout in June primaries is usually less than 10 percent, he said. “These are usually low-turnout affairs,” he said. And last week’s figures weren’t record lows, either. The lowest turnout Ables said he’s seen in recent years was 1.07 percent. That was in June 2005 in a Democratic primary for lieutenant governor. Only 416 of 38,881 voters
showed up for that election. Part of Prince William, as well as the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, is in the 10th Congressional District, and the race in November there will be between incumbent GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock and state Sen. Jennifer Wexton, D-33rd. They each won primaries last week, as well. Reach Jonathan Hunley at jhunley@fauquier.com
State says controversial Haymarket power lines are needed By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The State Corporation Commission has determined Dominion Energy’s service upgrade in Haymarket is needed, paving the way for the utility to formally apply to bury a section of a new high-voltage power transmission lines as a pilot project. The project had long been contested over routing and whether the upgrade was needed to serve a growing need as the utility long contended. The Coalition to Save Prince
William County and the Somerset Crossing Homeowners Association signed an agreement with Dominion in March that ended a legal challenge in exchange for Dominion agreeing to bury 3.1 miles of the 5.3mile transmission lines along a “hybrid” route that follows Interstate 66. Last year, Del. Tim Hugo, R-40th, got a pilot program to bury new transmission lines added to a bill that rescinded Dominion’s freeze on power rates. Following the SCC’s affirmaLaminate Flooring

Dominion must formally apply to place the Haymarket project in the pilot program. Elena Schlossberg, executive director of the Coalition to Save Prince William County, said: “The coalition still remains vigilant.” Of the agreement with Dominion, Schlossberg added: “It’s not a perfect solution. There will still be businesses and residents impacted. But it’s the least worst option.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

It represents an important step in our efforts to maintain reliable electric service for the communities in western Prince William County.

New Va. 28 bypass, U.S. 1 in Dumfries win regional support
ROADS, from Page 1
of Va. 28. The bypass is proposed to extend Godwin Drive beyond Sudley Road (also called Va. 234 Business) just south of the Manassas Mall to cut through about 4 miles of undeveloped land behind West Gate and West Gate of Lomond neighborhoods and along Flat Branch creek, a tributary of Bull Run. The bypass would then cross over Bull Run on a new bridge and rejoin Va. 28 at the Fairfax County line. The idea is to divert some of the traffic on Va. 28 away from Old Town Manassas and reduce congestion on the 2.1mile stretch through Manassas and Manassas Park that routinely slows to 6 miles an hour during morning and afternoon rush hours. The bypass has been studied for much of the last two years. One last study is required before construction can begin: a $3.5 million environmental assessment. That money was also granted in the NVTA plan, which was approved by the NVTA board June 14. Other local projects slated to receive NVTA funds also include $15 million to improve a stretch of Va. 28 in western Prince William from Fitzwater Drive to Pennsylvania Avenue; and $11 million toward a $38.7 million project to widen Telegraph Road and extend Summit School Road. The latter project is aimed at getting more traffic in and out of the Horner Road commuter lot, the largest commuter lot in Northern Virginia, which serves the Interstate 95 corridor in Woodbridge.
$244.3 million for Prince William road projects
The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, a regional board charged with allocating an estimated $300 million in annual tax revenue generated by a 2013 state law that raised sales taxes and other taxes to relieve congestion in Northern Virginia released its first six-year plan June 14. The plan spends $1.2 billion in Northern Virginia from 2018 to 2023. About $244.3 million, or 19 percent, will be spent on Prince William County projects including: • Va. 28 improvements from Fitzwater Drive to Pennsylvania Avenue: $15 million • Va. 28 bypass environmental impact study: $3.5 million • Va. 28 bypass (extending Godwin Drive to Fairfax County line): $89 million • New interchange at Va. 234 and Brentsville Road: $54.9 million • New interchange at Va. 234 and University Boulevard: $24.2 million • Summit School Road extension and Telegraph Road widening: $11 million • Interchange at Va. 234 and Clover Hill Road (partial funding): $1.9 million • Widen U.S. 1 to six lanes between Brady’s Hill and Dumfries roads: $44.8 million TOTAL: $244.3 million
In all, the NVTA approved 42 of 60 projects submitted for consideration for its first six-year plan, the total of which is more than $1.2 billion. Prince William Supervisor Marty Nohe, who serves as chairman of the NVTA board, called the money slated for Prince William “huge.” In conjunction with a plan already underway to construct a bypass at Va. 234 and Balls Ford Road, which will be funded as part of the I-66 widening project, Nohe, R-Coles, said the improvements along Va. 234 and Va. 28 in Manassas will be game-changers for the county and Manassas. The NVTA selects projects based on the need to relieve road congestion now and as the region grows in the next 20 years. The intersections along Va. 234 and on Va. 28 are already in need of improvements, Nohe said.

“We know the corridor has a high-level of congestion now and we know they will continue to have an even higher level of congestion in 2040,” Nohe said. “By the time we get to 2040, if nothing is done [those intersections] will be beyond failing.” It’s not clear when construction will begin on any of the projects. The environmental assessment for the Va. 28 bypass will proceed in the near future. If the assessment checks out, construction could be complete as early as 2025. The work on the Va. 234 intersections will begin with the Balls Ford Road interchange, which is slated to be complete by the time tolling begins on the outer stretches of I-66 in 2022. Work on the other intersections will come a bit later, but could begin in about two years’ time, Nohe said.
$44.8 million for U.S. 1 in Dumfries
The Town of Dumfries will also benefit from the NVTA’s six-year plan. The authority board awarded $44.8 million toward a $116.5 million project to widen U.S. 1 through the Town of Dumfries from four to six lanes. Dumfries has been waiting for years to widen the 2.1-mile stretch of U.S. 1 that runs through their independent city. The highway has been widened in recent years both north and south of the Dumfries town limits but remains only two lanes in each direction flowing through the town. And it does so awkwardly. The north- and southbound lanes are split,

making the highway only one-way through most of the town. The alignment paralyzes traffic through Dumfries when U.S. 1 backs up, usually from Interstate 95 overflow, and makes several businesses accessible to only traffic headed one way or the other. The proposed widening would fix that challenge by widening the eastern-most lanes of U.S. 1 from four lanes to six lanes, with three lanes traveling in each direction. The change would allow Dumfries’ existing Main Street to be separated from U.S. 1 through traffic. That change is hoped to allow Dumfries to move forward with plans to redevelop its downtown to attract shops and restaurants, said Dumfries Mayor-elect Derrick Wood. “It’s a big deal because it’s not only going to relieve congestion, but it’s going to enable us to create our own little downtown Dumfries,” Wood said, noting that the town hopes to attract more retail stores and restaurants to allow residents to shop and dine out closer to home. Wood campaigned on the promise that money would come through for the widening project, which is projected to cost a total of $116 million. The $44 million in the NVTA sixyear plan will allow the town to begin the process of purchasing private property needed to widen the road. The rest of the money could come from state or federal sources. Wood said he hopes the entire project will be finished by 2024. “I’m excited for the project to begin,” Wood added. “This is a great victory.” The money for the improvements comes from the 0.7 percent sales-tax bump the state legislature approved for Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads as part of the 2013 transportation-funding law. The measure also included modest raises to the tax charged on hotel stays and on real-estate property purchases in the nine jurisdictions that make up the state’s “planning district 8,” which includes Prince William, Fairfax, Arlington and Loudoun counties as well as the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park, Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church.

past associations with fringe groups suggests the county comports with their extreme views. It’s “guilt by association,” Nohe said, even if Stewart’s positions don’t reflect the wider community, which generally values Prince William’s diversity. “I don’t know if Corey Stewart is a racist. I know he associates with people who are,” said Nohe, who has served on the Prince William Board of Supervisors alongside Stewart since 2003. “You know that old saying, ‘If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas?’” he continued. “Well, I guess it’s not necessarily true that if you lie down with dogs you wake up a dog.”

Gainesville/Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | June 20, 2018
STEWART, from Page 4 Still, Nohe said Stewart’s dalliances with extremists poses challenges to fellow Republicans as well as the county as a whole. “There are those of us who go to great lengths, who are constantly doing damage control… about what our community’s values really are,” Nohe said. “It also creates a problem for other candidates for office, largely Republican candidates, who have to worry about another level of guilt by association.” Stewart used both social media and media interviews this week to insist he’s not a racist, telling MSNBC host Kasie Hunt he “doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.” Bill Card, who chairs the Prince William County Republican Committee, believes him. Card said Stewart has his “unqualified support.” “The Corey Stewart I know is not a racist,” Card said. Card said he’s never seen rhetoric as vicious as it is right now, so he takes everything with a grain of salt. For example, anyone claiming that Stewart is racist because he defends Confederate monuments doesn’t really know Stewart, Card said. Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, said he similarly supports Stewart and called it “exciting” that a local politico is in the statewide race. “A little bit of the spotlight will be on Prince William County,” he said. But Candland acknowledged the fate of the county’s reputation hinges on Stewart’s tone during the coming months. If attention continues on Stewart’s fiery rhetoric, there could be a negative impact to the county, he said. That is a clear concern for Don Scoggins, a moderate member of the local GOP committee. He said Stewart’s nomination sends the wrong message about majority-minority Prince William and could repel future businesses and residents from locating here. “It just sends a bad omen,” Scoggins said. Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, said she’s also is worried about how Stewart’s campaign might affect Prince William. She said she wants to discuss his strategy with him and find out what his vision for Virginia is. “I am concerned, depending on how he chooses to run his campaign,” Anderson said.

A recently completed $38 million improvement project at the Prince William Medical Center included a new hospital facade, visitor corridor and healing garden.
New facade and healing garden open at Prince William Medical Center Staff Reports The Prince William Medical Center, now part of the Novant UVA health system, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week to celebrate the completion of the hospital’s new façade, visitor corridor and healing garden, the final components of a $38 million master-facility improvement project started in 2014. The project included the addition of a new visitor corridor, designed to improve patient privacy and comfort, as well as infrastructure and facility improvements, according to a Prince William Medical Center press release.
“At the heart of our master facility construction project is the ultimate comfort and care of our patients and their visiting loved ones,” Greg Napps, president and chief operating officer of Prince William Medical Center and Novant Health UVA Health System Haymarket Medical Center said in the press release. “Our goal for this extensive improvement project was to improve access to care and the experience of our patients while in our care.” Facility upgrades include a redesigned interfaith room of reflection, a new gift shop and new information center, the press release said. Patient parking has been relocated near the main
entrance for improved access, and new staff parking has been added. Improvements to the hospital’s energy-infrastructure will support electronic-medical-record technology, while mechanical room upgrades will offer a more personalized room experience, the press release said. There have also been renovations to the intermediate care unit and the addition of a new clinical decision unit. The garden offers a quiet space of reflection and solace for patients, visitors and team members to enjoy. The native plantings provide different seasonal fragrances and color displays.

Manassas launches new round of Community Conversations Staff Reports Manassas will kick off its 2018 Comprehensive Plan update by inviting citizens to targeted Community Conversations beginning this week, at the Martin K. Alloy Boys and Girls Club, 9501 Dean Park Lane. This first session will be a visioning session on land-use. People may wonder why they don’t see commercial businesses in the middle of residential neighborhoods. Or why there is a shady walking trail through at Stonewall Park. Or why they can enjoy outdoor dining under the stars on Battle Street. “This didn’t happen by chance,” said a press release issued by the City of Manassas this week. “As the city kicks off an update of the Comprehensive Plan with a series of Community Conversations this summer, the importance of planning those neighborhood amenities and commercial areas will come into focus.” The goal of the 18-month update process is to take the pulse of the community and create a document that will guide future land use, development, recreation, preservation, and transportation policy decisions, the press release said. Residents are invited to attend any or all of the Community Conversations on key topic areas like land-use and transportation. Additional meetings will cover

New dual left-turn lanes get traffic moving on Va. 234 Staff Reports Drivers on Va. 234 should see traffic improvements soon around Hoadly Road. The Prince William County Department of Transportation recently completed a project that added an additional left-turn lane from Va. 234 onto Hoadly Road. “We've doubled the capacity of this intersection by allowing there to be two left-turn lanes that can be received onto Hoadly Road,” Prince William Supervisor Marty Nohe, R-Coles, said in a press release. “It’s already having a huge impact in terms of moving more people through this intersection every day.” Before the 600-foot turn lane was added, cars would back up into the travel lanes on Va. 234, and people could sit through several light changes, holding up traffic. Nohe said the problem had worsened over the last several years and severely delayed travel during evening commute times. “We've struggled with cars filling up the turn lane during the evening rush hour and spilling into the general purpose lane. By adding this second left-turn lane, we now have the ability to get those people out of the travel way, make traffic more free flowing on Route 234, but also make
it more convenient those people who are trying to make that left turn and head toward Purcell Road and the Prince William Parkway,” he said. “As someone who drives around 234 every day, I’m excited about the fact that traffic can move more freely through this already frequently congested intersection,” Nohe said in the press release. “As a member of the Board of County Supervisors, I'm even more excited about the fact that this project came in $380,000 under budget and was finished a month ahead of schedule.” Nohe said the county's transportation should be commended for getting the project, originally budgeted for $840,000, completed under budget.

The joys of a walk in the woods By John Hagarty
Special to the Times
Time. It’s our most prized possession. There’s never enough of it, and it flies faster than a thought. We try to husband our time to maximize its usefulness. At the end of the day, we
often reflect on where it went. For many of us, carving out time to exercise is a priority. And those who don’t pursue the elusive goal know they should. The medical, scientific and spiritual benefits of regular exercise have been reported with such frequency we tend to zone out

when the subject is brought up. Yes, yes, we know we should exercise but…there’s never enough time. Here’s a counterintuitive proposal: Let’s waste some time. But think of it as an investment in your well-being, not frittering away a precious commodity. The only gear you’ll need is a pair of hiking shoes and a small daypack. In four hours or less you can reinvigorate mind and body under the canopy of life-giving greenery. The most challenging aspect of hiking is the commitment to carve out a half-day from work and home responsibilities. To create a further incentive to act let’s combine two concepts: Exercise is good, and a forest atmosphere is beneficial. The former is a given. The latter is the cornerstone of a preventive health practice that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It’s called Shinrin-yoko or “taking in the forest” or “forest bathing.” Researchers in Japan and South Korea have scientifically confirmed the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. The practice is simplicity itself. A person enters a natural area in a relaxed manner and achieves calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits. The science behind the concept is that many trees give off organic compounds that support our “NK,” or natural killer cells, an integral part of our immune system. The benefits of forest bathing include boosting the immune system, reducing blood pressure and stress, and improving mood, ability to focus, energy levels and sleep. The key to maximizing forest bathing is to combine it with hiking.
“Hiking is the most natural exercise. It’s great medicine for a long and happy life. Nothing beats a walk in the woods, hiking mountains or simply spending time in the outdoors.”
– ANDREAS KELLER TREASURER AND CHARTER MEMBER OF BOOTS’N BEER HIKING CLUB
The only hitch is it takes time. But even two or three forest hikes a month can generate a host of healthful benefits. Not to mention experiencing the beauty of a quiet forest or the scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Where to go
Fortunately, Fauquier County residents have both the Whitney State Forest and the Shenandoah National Park, or SNP, within easy driving distance. Denizens living inside the beltway must devote a full day to enjoying either of these treasures. Not so us locals. In a half a day or less, an adventurous world of real nature awaits. Set the device on airplane mode and free yourself in the forest. Whitney State Forest is a 148-acre refuge located a few miles outside of Warrenton. The forest has a variety trees and animal life that transport a walker to venues similar to the more challenging nearby mountain trails but within minutes of town. There are more than 6 miles of trails crisscrossing a central fire road. Navigating the forest is easy, and the rewards will include opportunities to encounter a variety of bird and animal life. Breathe deeply and walk gently in this forest.

Gainesville/Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | June 20, 2018
From micro to macro describes heading out to a hike in the SNP. The park has more than 200,000 acres of forest, 500 miles of maintained trails, dozens of cascading waterfalls, peaceful backcountry camping and endless valley views. The centerpiece is Skyline Drive, which meanders the ridgeline for 105 miles, from Front Royal to Waynesboro. The iconic Appalachian Trail parallels the drive, offering the opportunity to step back in time and experience the mountains as yesteryear mountain folk did. When you arrive in the high country, finding your way around SNP is simple. Its trail obelisks and blazed trees easily guide a hiker from trailhead to trail’s end. There are three color-coded trail blazes: white identifies the historic Appalachian Trail, which runs 101 miles through the park; blue pinpoints side trails for hikers only; and yellow welcomes both hikers and horses. The park boundary is identified by red markers.
Hiking Clubs
While forest hiking contributes to a healthy lifestyle, social interaction is also a marker for longevity. Getting outdoors with friends and acquaintances is a double-your-pleasure-double -your-fun proposition. There’s no need to plan and execute the hike itself. Simply show up at the designated meeting spot, jump in a car and off to the mountains you go. There are several organized hiking clubs in the area, but the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club is the granddaddy of them all. PATC was founded in 1927 for the purpose of building and maintaining the Appalachian Trail, the longest hiking trail
in the world meandering over mountains and through forests from Maine to Georgia. The 2,190-mile footpath traverses through some of the most beautiful scenery in the nation. Each month the club sponsors numerous hikes from easy parklike jaunts to more challenging mountain ascents. Closer to home, Fauquier County has its own hiking club called Boots ’n Beer. The 9-year-old club was founded by local resident and businessman Jim Carson. Andreas Keller, treasurer and charter member of the club says, “Hiking is the most natural exercise. It’s great medicine for a long and happy life. Nothing beats a walk in the woods, hiking mountains or simply spending time in the outdoors.” Given the demands of work today, stress relief is a goal among many Fauquier County citizens. Proof? The club has more than 200 members. A typical hike will see 10 or more folks navigating the trails of the Shenandoah National Park or George Washington National Forest. But it isn’t all-heart pounding, sweat-inducing physical labor that eases a worried mind. Each Boots ’n Beer hike is followed by a rehydration stop at a local tavern. The club’s motto embodies its fun-loving approach to the great outdoors: “A drinking club with a hiking problem.” Its whimsical logo depicts a pair of hiking boots, one with a mug handle and foaming beer head and the other lying on its side in a dreamy beer-induced repose. All hikes terminate with a hydration stop at a local pub or brewery for a cold draft and a bite to eat. Need we say more?

White Oak Canyon: Some of the best scenic waterfalls in Virginia are on display on this 8-mile loop. Be prepared for some serious elevation gain but it’s well worth the perspiration produced. Dark Hollow Falls: Pressed for time? This stroll of fewer than 2 miles will reward with four waterfalls and an easy walk. It’s popular, so mid-week hiking is suggested to avoid the crowds. Stony Man: One of the more se-
cluded loops in the SNP. The 10-mile hike provides picturesque views of both the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding mountains. There is a nice swimming hole on the Rose River to cool the motor down on this workout. Mary’s Rock: This favorite can be approached as either a 4-mile or 9-mile hike. The shorter version starts at the Panorama parking lot and ascends to stunning views in fewer than 2 miles. The more adventurous can begin in the valley and ascend the Buck Hollow Trail to reach the top.

Gainesville / Prince William Times | June 20, 2018
‘My name is Virginia, and I have a voter turnout problem.’ If you are an election aficionado or political junkie, you may know Virginia held a primary election last week. In winning the GOP’s nomination to face Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in the fall, Prince William’s own Corey Stewart drew national attention. But locally, the primaries drew little interest. Turnout for the Republican primary for U.S. Senate was only 7.78 percent in Fauquier, county Registrar Alex Ables said Friday. And turnout in Fauquier for the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District was even lower, at 2.98 percent, Ables said. However, only voters in the Catlett, Lois, Morrisville and Bealeton precincts were eligible to cast ballots in that contest. Surprisingly, neither was a record low turnout. But, in comparison, Warrenton’s local election last month drew 22.27 OUR VIEW percent. Voter turnout last week in Prince William was a slightly better 10.5 percent countywide, surely due in no small part to the presence of Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-at large, on the ballot. Also drawing interest was a competitive, three-way Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District, which stretches from Nokesville to Triangle in Prince William. But all in all, these numbers still border on embarrassing. But rather than chastise voters for staying home, perhaps it is better to ask: “Why?” Primaries inherently have low turnouts. They aren’t presidential elections, but rather inter-party squabbles to determine the more interesting elections in the fall, when control of the U.S. House and possibly the U.S. Senate are in play. One possibility for low turnout is the quality of the candidates. In a
political world ever more dominated by sound bites and social media that most often play to the extremes, the candidates are more polarized than ever. Voter apathy could easily be chalked up to a lack of interest in the candidates and what they are selling. Another factor could be timing. June is a tough month for an election. School is ending, kids are graduating, people are planning vacations and summer is under way. A lack of publicity certainly doesn’t help turnout, either. The aforementioned May 1 town elections saw campaign signs on most lawns and street poles, dwarfing the number of signs for last week’s primary. And voter fatigue surely plays a
factor. With local elections in May, it is hard to comprehend a separate election in June. Indeed, some people didn’t even know there was a primary election June 12 according to Matthew Wilson, spokesman for the Prince William County Office of Elections. Some of these problems would take changes on the state level. But factors such as voter fatigue and lack of publicity could be addressed by combining primaries with local elections, while also incurring a cost savings to the public. It’s something to think about. And, it’s important to remind voters of their individual responsibilities. If a voter is interested enough to dis-
agree with the party’s nominee, then that voter needs to make their voice heard in the primary. That means taking the initiative to pay attention to the election calendar and getting to the polls. The alternative is living with the nominees you get. What makes our country unique is we elect our officials. They are not born into the job or appointed. Elections are how we hold our representatives accountable. When one in 10 voters hold sway over party nominations, it is fair to say the system is broken. It’s easy to point fingers as to who broke it. The hard work lies in finding solutions. Yes, Virginia has a voter turnout problem. Now we need to fix it.
Separating children from families is not an American value “She was so traumatized that she wasn’t talking. She was just curled up in a little ball.” “…The child was just screaming and nobody could help her. And we know why she was crying. She didn’t have her mother.” Regardless of your political views, I would hope that as citizens of this country, we could come together and declare that forcibly separating children from their families is NOT in alignment with our values. This “Zero Tolerance Policy”, instituted by Jeff Sessions and defended by others in this administration as a “deterrent” for illegal immigration, has resulted in 1,995 children being ripped apart from their families, causing what the American Academy of Pediatrics calls “toxic stress”. Toxic stress which will result in potentially irreparable harm to these children. Do not believe the assertion by some that this administration is only following the law- this has been disproved by many sources including Trump’s own Department of Justice.
I think we all concur that our immigration system is broken and needs repair. While we may disagree on what our policy should look like, I hope we can agree that it should not look like this! Crying children (some less than a year old) taken from their parent’s arms. Parents unable to say goodbye to their children and unsure when, or if, they will ever see them again. Thousands of young people, aged 10-17, housed in a former Wal-Mart and allowed only two hours outside a day. Children living in tent cities in Texas in 100 degree heat. Personally, I find these actions by my government abhorrent, and would feel so regardless of whether or not the detainees were illegal immigrants, but it’s important to note that the majority of those affected by this new policy are not entering illegally. They are presenting themselves at US checkpoints as asylum seekers, a right granted them by US law. And even those not claiming refugee status commit only a misdemeanor by crossing our border without proper documentation. Is it just to
separate parents from their children for an offense comparable to graffiti or driving without a license? The United Nations has denounced our actions as “unconscionable,” and “child abuse.” A multitude of religious organizations have decried family separation as “unjust, un-American,” and “against human decency.” First Lady Laura Bush penned an op-ed calling the policy cruel, immoral and heartbreaking. Although President Trump could end this policy with a phone call, he has chosen instead to use vulnerable children as a bargaining chip for his border wall. This is not, or at least should not be, a political issue. This is a moral and a humanitarian cause that I hope we can all rally behind. If you believe America is better than this, please call your representatives in Congress and demand that they do something to stop this! Andrea Martens Sumerduck

Community Journalism: A tale of two newspapers For as long as I can remember, they’ve been telling me newspapers were in trouble. But of my former employers, only the small daily where I started my career in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, no longer exists. The circulation was 6,000. I was the “full-time,” 30-hour-a-week sportswriter. That meant they could work you 38 and not pay benefits. If I didn’t live with my parents, I couldn’t have made a living. When it rained, water came pouring through the ceiling of the “sports annex” into an industrial-sized Rubbermaid next to my desk. I loved it. So much so that I changed my college major from broadcast to print. Why? Because community journalism matters. But this column isn’t about that newspaper. It’s about where I’m at now, almost 30 years later: The Fauquier Times. And it’s about a daily that still holds an important place in my heart: The Mercury, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The Mercury was facing the same difficulties facing every newspaper faced when I arrived in 1998: shrinking ad revenue, shrinking circulation, what to do with the internet. But good journalism was still happening. And boy, did we have fun. In many ways, I think it was the last of the good old days. Three photographers, a half a dozen reporters, two copy editors, a five-person sports crew. Multiple editors. From 4 in the afternoon until midnight, it’s where the action was. These were people who cared about the community they served. Working all hours. After deadline, going for burgers and beers together. We loved what we did, who we did it with and the community we were doing it for. I look back on those days and curse the foolishness of youth that led me to chase dreams elsewhere. A handful of those good journalists remain, as recent coverage of the YMCA’s attempt to leave Pottstown proves. But as a friend who
CHRIS SIX continues to fight the good fight assured me, I would have been axed years ago. You see, the newspaper’s parent company, Digital First Media, is owned by Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund that has very different goals for its properties. You might have heard of Alden and Digital First. They have been in the news lately: • Niemanlab.org: “Newsonomics: Alden Global Capital is making so much money wrecking local journalism it might not want to stop anytime soon.” • Bloomberg: “Imagine If Gordon Gekko Bought News Empires. The reality is even worse: This raider sinks decimated newsrooms’ revenue into bad investments.” • Philadelphia Inquirer: “Philly’s Digital First papers face harsh cuts, potential ‘lights-out scenario’” • Denver Post editorial: “As vultures circle, The Denver Post must be saved” • MPR News’ NewsCut: “Newspaper employees wonder who will cover their plight” • Digital First recently made news by purchasing the Boston Herald. • Boston Business Journal: “Digital First lays off Boston Herald managers, workers” And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Alden has done something besides jstrike a blow to community journalism: They’ve profited from it. For years, we have heard journalism is not profitable. It seems we have been proven wrong. Quoting the NiemanLab story: “Today we can reveal some key financial numbers from the very
private company that shows just how successful Alden and DFM have been at milking profit out of the newspapers it is slashing to the bone. DFM reported a 17-percent operating margin — well above those of its peers — in its 2017 fiscal year, along with profits of almost $160 million. That’s the fruit of the repeated cutbacks that have left its own shrinking newsrooms in a state of rebellion.” News came Friday that The Mercury is being kicked out of its historic home. This isn’t a surprise; the building should probably be condemned. I understand parts of it have been left to rot to a point that it is uninhabitable. Workers have been told they can work remotely or at the centralized plant in Exton. Unfortunately, that’s 30 minutes away, not in Pottstown. The newspaper is being physically removed from its community. Now, good reporters will still be present, but think about it for a minute. Think about access this community enjoys to its local newspaper. Think about stopping by to subscribe, pick up a copy, drop off a letter to the editor, plan an ad or talk to a reporter or editor. Imagine that gone. The Fauquier Times offers something different than disinterested corporate entities or hedge funds: local ownership comprised of investors who want to be proud of their newspaper. Who thought so much of that
cause, they went and bought it. I saw a lot of promise in that. It’s what drew me here from a relatively stable job at Stars and Stripes. I saw possibilities for the future of community newspapers, and a model for how it could work that others could follow. I wanted to be a part of that. It hasn’t been easy. There have been challenges along the way. But exciting things are happening. We’ve redesigned. Added section fronts. Expanded coverage. Branched out into new mediums. We are learning and we are growing. The possibilities are endless. To me, community journalism is a sacred trust. We are uniquely positioned to tell the stories of this community in ways no other organization can. We believe in this community: its people, its businesses, its causes. That means sharing the good things that are happening, as well as serving as serving as the community’s watchdog. I’ve shown you how easily that trust can be betrayed. You and I each have an investment in this cause. By buying a newspaper in print or online, or subscribing, you invest in our future. And through our work and dedication, we invest in our community. It’s a symbiotic relationship. All of us. Together. Chris Six is the Editor-in-Chief of the Times. E-mail him at csix@ fauquier.com. Follow him on Twitter @christophersix1

Reflections on Ramadan Even though we’re over halfway done with Ramadan, I still feel like friends and classmates around me have questions about what it’s all about. The holy month of Ramadan is a time of self-reformation and a chance to receive forgiveness from God, as we grow closer to Him during this month. Muslims worldwide have a chance to spiritually cleanse themselves and improve to become better individuals. For me, Ramadan is the best month of the year in many ways including spiritually and physically. Reading the Qur’an from start to finish is also a part of Ramadan, since it was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during this holy month. I benefit from reading a lot of Qur’an during Ramadan because I actually get to
study my faith and learn more on my own thus making me spiritually cleansed by the grace of God. Every year I grow more and more excited for Ramadan. Now that I’m phasing out from childhood into my teenage years, each year I can fast for a longer time without great difficulty. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, so it is of great importance. Not only does it help us realize what our fellow brothers and sisters in poverty feel like, it also allows us to be humble and get closer to God. I think that fasting is hard but definitely worth the hunger, because we need to realize how blessed we are. Amal Ahmad Gainesville

Q&A with Carter Kieboom
Potomac Nationals shortstop Carter Kieboom came across as poised and confident in his interview with Doug Stroud of the Prince William Times. “I’ve changed to have a little bit more of a routine than I did when I first started pro ball. That’s because I know more and I’m able to do more with what I’ve learned,” said Kieboom, who turns 21 on Sept. 3.
P-Nats super prospect talks about mom, dad and his goals Potomac Nationals shortstop Carter Kieboom, 20, hasn’t been in the minors long, but he appears destined for a major league future. Ranked as the No. 79 prospect by MLB.com, the younger brother of Washington Nationals catcher Spencer Kieboom is hitting .298 with 11 home runs and 46 RBI in just 61 games for the P-Nats and was a slam dunk pick for Tuesday’s Carolina League All-Star Game. Doug Stroud of the Prince William Times caught up with him before a June 23 game that saw Kieboom flash the power that made him a first round draft pick in 2016. How do you pronounce your name: Kahboom or Kee-Boom? It’s Kee-boom, Kee-boom. You’re the youngest of three baseball-playing brothers, and your dad played in college. How much help has family been? It’s been a huge help. I mean I’ve grown up watching him, Spencer, and my other brother Trevor play baseball for many years. Being around them has molded me into the player I am today. To have Spencer in the same organization with me, coming into pro ball I wasn’t coming into this whole new lifestyle necessarily blinded, so I think I had a little edge. Having Spencer to talk to whether you’re going through a rough patch, or have any questions about just pro ball in general or life ... is extremely beneficial. What five things would you like to accomplish? Well, I think first and foremost is to play in the big leagues. Many people talk about playing, making it up there, but I want more than just my cup of coffee. Playing up there for many years is the biggest goal anyone can have from a selfish standpoint, but you definitely want to win a World Series, is the ultimate goal, and I think the list goes on from there. You can get your individual awards from there. But from the team aspect of winning a World Series is any kid’s dream. How has preparing for a game changed from
PHOTOS BY DOUG STROUD
Kieboom is 6-foot-2, 190 pounds with “a knack for barreling the baseball, a product of his plus bat speed, hand-eye coordination and mature approach,” according to MLB.com, which ranks him the No. 10 shortstop prospect in baseball. playing in high school? Preparing for a game definitely has changed starting from my first year of pro ball to now. I mean, you can only do what you know. You don’t want to be somebody you’re not. Every time I learn something new I try to apply that. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but it always good to listen and have an open mind from your coaches and staff and even other players. Have you and Spencer discussed playing together on the same team? It is something we’ve kind of brought up but we haven’t really discussed it. We’ve had our flashes of it in spring training when we got to be on the field together. He was catching and I was playing
shortstop and he actually threw a ball down and I was catching it. It’s something we definitely know is there and we know it’s actually a possibility now. I think when it happens is going to be a very special moment for him and I and for our family as well. Sitting around the dinner table, I’d love to hear the all the conversations. Your dad played baseball his entire life and so did your brothers. Where is your mom in all this? She played volleyball growing up and she didn’t know much about baseball. She started watching it when my dad played in college and she has been there for us since day one. She is our biggest supportSee KIEBOOM, Page 22

er. She drives us to all of our games, practices. If I’m ever struggling she’s the first one to call me tell me that everything is going to be fine, it’s part of the process and keep playing your game and it’ll work out. I mean she’s huge, I mean Spencer can speak for it, Trevor can speak for it and so can my dad. She is the No. 1 person in all of our lives that can help us out. She will always be open ears for us. What is the strength of your game right now? I think the strength of my game would be the knowledge and under-
standing of it because of who I’ve been around. The advanced people I’ve been around and been able to play with and watch for so many years has definitely given me an edge. Understanding of the situation and understanding that things take time. It doesn’t need to be right now. You’re not going to wake up and be in the big leagues. You are going to wake every day and take care of what’s ahead of you and when you do that everything will work out for you. Any advice to kids today that want to have dreams of playing professional baseball? Sure, I will say the same thing Spencer told me when I got drafted,
“You are going to be around a lot of guys. Some might be better than you at the time, some might be bigger than you at the time, maybe faster, the biggest thing is be yourself, don’t be somebody you’re not.” What’s it feel like to be asked for your autograph? Oh, it’s awesome. I grew up going to Braves’ games and my brother’s college games, and you ask for autographs and when they give you one it is always a great feeling. You get the baseball and show your parents. So now that it’s me, it was weird at first, but I mean it’s something you never try to get used to it because it can be taken away from you at any moment. It’s something you don’t want to take for granted. I never take it for granted.

Will Stewart’s spotlight cast a shadow on Prince William? By Jonathan Hunley and Jill Palermo
who helped organize the deadly protests in Charlottesville last summer, and Paul Nehlen, an admitted “pro-white” Wisconsin congressional canCorey didate who Stewart Stewart called his “personal hero” in early 2017. Stewart has since disavowed his associations with both Nehlen and Kessler, saying he didn’t fully understand their views when he made
Times Staff Writers
Corey Stewart’s win in the June 12 Republican primary for U.S. Senate brought national attention to Prince William County, where Stewart has served as chairman of the board of supervisors since 2006. But much of the news coverage cast Stewart in a critical light, noting his past associations with Unite the Right rally organizer Jason Kessler,
the remark about Nehlen, in January 2017, and stood alongside Kessler later that spring at a Charlottesville rally that preceded the August 2017 protest during which a counter-protester was killed. But whether the hot national spotlight on Stewart is casting a pall on Prince William County was up for debate this week among Stewart’s fellow members of the board of supervisors as well as leaders in the wider community. Local Democrats have long been
critical of Stewart and his extreme political rhetoric, particularly on immigration. Harry Wiggins, former chairman of the Prince William County Democratic Committee, called Stewart’s candidacy a “poke in the eye” for the county. Supervisor Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, said he’s concerned about Stewart’s continued absence from his role as chairman of the board of supervisors. See STEWART, Page 4
Prince William, Dumfries win $244.3 million for local roads By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Big changes are coming to major thoroughfares in Prince William County as a result of more than $244.3 million in money for local road-construction projects awarded this week by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority. Projects slated in the NVTA’s new sixyear plan, which covers 2018 through 2023, include $81 million toward three, new “grade-separated” intersections on Va. 234 – at University Boulevard, Brentsville Road and Clover Hill Road. The new overpasses will replace the existing traffic lights at high-volume intersections near where Va. 234 approaches Interstate 66. The money fully funds a $24.2 million overpass at Va. 234 and University Boulevard and a $54.9 million overpass at Va. 234 and Brentsville Road, while partially funding the Clover Hill interchange, according the NVTA list of projects. In addition, there is a down payment of $89 million toward the $145 million bypass See ROADS, Page 4
Montclair photographer Brian Smith captured this photo of a family of bald eagles in their treetop nest along the south bank of Quantico Creek, near where the waterway meets the Potomac River. Smith snapped the photo on April 11. Adult bald eagle pairs generally return to the same nest year after year and maintain a territory of between 1 and 6 miles for hunting prey, usually fish. The nests are typically 5 to 6 feet wide and 3 to 4 feet tall. The bald eagle became a U.S. National Emblem in 1782.
