Crime rate down in 2018, but overdoses, DUIs on the rise By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County Police Chief Barry Barnard
Prince William’s overall crime rate fell by about 1% in 2018, while overdose deaths, murders, assaults on police officers and DUI arrests were on the rise, Police Chief Barry Barnard announced last week. Barnard released the police department’s 2018 Crime Report at an afternoon news conference Thursday, July 18.
‘A lot of people loved this kid’
The overall crime rate was 12.9 crimes per 1,000 Prince William residents in 2018, down from 14 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2017. Murders, rapes, aggravated assaults, robberies, burglaries, car thefts and larcenies are used to calculate crime rates. “Prince William County has been a safe community, and continues to be a safe community,” Barnard said. “We’re an important element of keeping Prince William safe but
there are a lot of stakeholders, and that’s what it takes today … It’s not just us.” While the overall crime rate has dropped, crime in some categories has increased significantly in the last year. Overdose deaths rose 11.3%, with 59 deaths in 2018, up from 53 in 2017. There were 50 opioid overdoses in 2018, and of those, 40 were fentanyl overdoses. See CRIME, page 4
Manassas mourns loss of popular teen rapper, Malikyh Person By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
It was a standing-room-only crowd at Osbourn High School last Friday afternoon, as hundreds gathered to say goodbye to Malikyh Person, a 17-year-old who was killed by accidental gunfire July 10 in his home in the City of Manassas. They came to mourn and celebrate Malikyh, a rising senior and aspiring rap artist better known to his friends and many fans as “Lil Black.” Another teen, a 17-year-old family friend, was charged July 12 with involuntary manslaughter in connection with his death.
On a scorching afternoon in the midst of summer break, teens returned to the City of Manassas’ only high school by the dozens, many wearing T-shirts with Malikyh’s picture and the initials “LLB,” for “long live Black,” or the words, “In Black we trust.” During the two-hour service, friends and family members told stories about Malikyh’s “goofy” sense of humor, his affection for his friends and relatives and his dreams of someday making it big as a professional rapper or music producer. During a July 15 interview at the Persons’ Diane Court home, Malikyh’s mother, Danielle Person, said INSIDE Calendar.............................................11 Classified............................................14 Lifestyle..............................................10

‘A lot of people loved this kid’
Malikyh Person, better known to his fans and family as “Lil Black,” died in an accidental shooting on July 10. Hundreds attended a July 19 memorial service for him at Osbourn High School.
MALIKYH, from page 1
Danielle Person was joined by her older son Kenny, a 19-year-old who recently finished his freshman year at Old Dominion University, as she spoke about Malikyh, whom she called by his childhood nickname, “Ky Ky.” Rap was clearly her youngest son’s “passion,” Danielle Person said, noting he had just performed at 90 Degrees, a local nightclub, on July 6, and had recently heard from a record label interested in pursuing his music. But she said she had no idea how many teens followed Malikyh’s music until a quickly organized candlelight vigil on the night of his death drew about 600 teens to Stonewall Park. “After seeing that, I wanted them to be a part of his homegoing celebration because I know that’s what [Malikyh] would want,” Danielle Person said. “And I wanted to be able to play his music [at the service] … and allow [the teens] to be a part of it.” “ … Everybody that met him loved him,” she added of Malikyh. “That says a lot. He was a good kid.” Both Danielle and Kenny Person said Malikyh also loved football, which he played first in the Manassas Sharks youth league and then on teams at Stonewall Jackson and Centreville high schools. His positions were quarterback and then defensive corner. When he transferred to Osbourn High last year, Danielle said she asked him not to play football to focus on his academics. Still, Malikyh often seemed most interested in his music, his mom said. His nickname, “Lil’ Black,” came from his darker skin color and slight stature – he was just over 6 feet tall but “a skinny mini,” his mom said. Both said Malikyh had a light-hearted sense of humor and delighted in teasing his family members. Danielle Person said he liked to sneak up behind her and startle her with his loud, deep voice. “I’d be in the kitchen cooking and he would come behind me and yell in my ear – crazy stuff,” she laughed. “I would say, ‘Ky Ky, I’m going to burn myself! Why would you do that?’ And he was like, ‘Mom, chill out, chill out.’”

Demeria: ‘We lost one of ours.’
The memorial service – part somber remembrance, part celebration -was the last of four gatherings that occurred in the wake of Malikyh’s death. About 60 people gathered at the Jirani coffee house in Old Town Manassas on Tuesday, July 16, for a “teen forum” led by Tony Lewis, a chaplain for the City of Manassas Police Department and pastor of the Light of Life Church. City of Manassas School Board members Tim Demeria and Robyn Williams attended along with City Councilmember Michelle Davis-Younger. Adult speakers, including friends of the Person family, encouraged the teens to help each other cope with their grief. “We lost one of ours. I didn’t know him, but I’m so sorry, I wish I had,” Demeria told the teens. “You all have to know that your city and your school are there for you. … Don’t go through this alone.” Williams said she felt it important that City of Manassas officials show their support to Malikyh’s family and his many friends, most of whom are fellow students at Osbourn High. “I feel like everybody who goes to our schools is our family,” Williams said. “They are part of us. … So many kids are hurting, but they don’t know where to turn.” Talia Prosper, a 17-year-old rising senior at Osbourn, said she had become friends with Malikyh last year when the two were in a weight-lifting class together. She said he was “goofy” and had a big personality. “He was literally the life of the party,” she said. “When he walked in, everyone went crazy.” Her classmates, she said, were still reeling from the news of the shooting and Malikyh’s passing. “It’s impacted a lot of people, especially on social media,” she said.
Family friend charged
Police have so far said little about the shooting, except that another 17-year-old boy was charged July 12 with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Malikyh’s death. The shooting is still under investigation, said Officer Sarah Maroney, spokeswoman for the City of Manassas Police Department. Because both the boys are juveniles, privacy laws prohibit authorities from releasing many details about the incident. During the July 15 interview, Danielle Person said the boy who fired the gun was a close family friend who lives in Washington, D.C., but had spent the last three summers with the Person family. The shooting occurred about 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 10. Malikyh and the friend were still awake and hanging out in the basement. Kenny Person said the boys were being kind of loud, so he texted Malikyh to ask them to quiet down. “I guess he didn’t want to go to sleep, that’s what made him go to the basement in the first place,” Kenny Person said of his younger brother. The gun used in the shooting was tucked away in the basement. No one suspected the boys would bother it, Danielle Person said. “I don’t know why he was playing with it. Malikyh don’t play with anyone’s guns. He’s scared about that stuff,” she said. “So, yes, it’s just unfortunate that [the other boy] knew where it was and was playing around with it, thinking it wasn’t loaded.” Danielle Person said she is “quite sure” the boy is also devastated by Malikyh’s death. “I look at him like my nephew, so it hurts me, too,” she added of the teen, who was holding the gun
when it fired. “But, he’s old enough to know better -- to never play with guns.”
‘A lot of people loved this kid’
During the Friday, July 19, memorial service, Lewis gave the eulogy. Noting Malikyh’s musical talents, Lewis affectionately called him “the baddest rapper in Virginia,” as well as “a striver” and “a dreamer.” “He lost his life way too soon. Way too soon,” Lewis said. Lewis told the mourners that Malikyh would live on through them and their memories. “I know he had an impact on this city that most of us could not make,” Lewis said. “He may be gone, but his light is still shining in all of you.” At the end of the service, a group of teenage pallbearers accompanied Malikyh’s black and silver coffin as it was rolled up the aisle and out of the auditorium. Someone turned on “Mercedes,” one of Malikyh’s rap songs, and the teens in the audience began to dance and sing along with the music. Frank Lee, a D.J. who works with Manassas teens and local musicians, said he’d been to “a lot of funerals” in the course of his work with at-risk teens -- some the result of gun violence, others due to drug overdoses – but said Malikyh’s stood out. “This is the toughest one and the most impactful,” Lee said of the memorial service. “A lot of people loved this kid.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Northam: ‘I won’t be there when President Trump is here’ By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Gov. Ralph Northam says he won’t be present for President Donald Trump’s remarks at the 400th anniversary of representative government in Jamestown later this month. Several of Virginia’s top Democrats have announced plans to boycott the event while Trump is in attendance. “I plan to speak the morning of the 30th, but because of my schedule, I won’t be there when President Trump is here,” Northam said after a stop in Dumfries Monday. Democratic lawmakers expressed outrage over the weekend after learning that Northam (D), alongside House Speaker Kirk Cox, R-66th, and Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment, R-3rd, had invited Trump to speak at the event. The formal invitation, sent in August 2018, said it was an “honor and privilege” to invite the president to participate in the event. “Your presence and remarks on this important anniversary would be most appropriate. By lending your voice and insights, you would continue a tradition that has brought numerous prior Presidents and world leaders, including Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, to Jamestown to reflect on the significance of the place its major milestones,” the letter said.

Gov. Ralph Northam during a stop at First Mount Zion Baptist Church in Dumfries on Monday, July 22. High-ranking Democratic lawmakers, including state Senate Minority Leader Richard Saslaw, D-35th, and House of Delegates Minority Leader Eileen Filler-Corn, D-41st, issued a statement on Friday saying they would not attend the event while Trump is present. “The current president does not represent the values that we would celebrate at the 400th anniversary of the oldest democratic body in the western world. We offer just three words of advice to the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation: ‘Send Him Back,’” Saslaw, Filler-Corn and
other top Democrats said. Northam said the decision to invite Trump to the event was a formality, and that his office had also invited Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, D-California, and former-President Barack Obama (D) to attend the ceremony. “This is something of American significance, the 400-year commemoration of our history. It’s something that merits national attention and it’s kind of a formality to reach out with invitations to a lot of people,” Northam said Monday. American Evolution, organizer
of the July 30 events, said Pelosi’s office declined the invitation within the last two weeks, and the White House had made no announcement regarding the president’s plans. The July 30th ceremonies will commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first representative assembly in the western hemisphere, held in Jamestown’s church in 1619. Members of the Virginia General Assembly, Congress and state legislatures across the country are expected to attend the event. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Democrat Ann Wheeler has outraised her rivals in the five-way race for chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors for the month of June, according to Virginia Public Access Project.

Old Town Manassas’ Harris Pavilion is suffering the effects of last week’s thunderstorm and a mysterious early morning fire. The damages: the town’s iconic LOVE sign was destroyed in the storm, and the pavilion’s restroom building suffered “extensive damage” in the fire, according to city officials. First the fire: A City of Manassas police officer patrolling the area around 1:45 a.m. Monday, July 22, noticed smoke coming from the direction of the Harris Pavilion at 9201 Center St. Upon closer observation, the officer saw fire rising from the rear of the building next to the pavilion. The fire started in a pile of wood stacked outside at the back of the building. City of Manassas Fire and Rescue units along with other units from surrounding jurisdictions quickly put out the fire, according to Patty Prince, City of Manassas spokeswoman. The Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the blaze and asks anyone with information about this fire to please call 703-257-8455 or the Manassas City Police non-emergency number at 703-257-8000.

Olsen and his company erected the first Manassas LOVE sign in 2012, and have replaced it before. Once his team manages to get the new sign cut out and attached, this will be the third set of LOVE letters, he said. (The first set is attached to the side of the Manassas Museum.) Olsen said he was surprised the sign didn’t survive the fast-moving storm. “It’s been through the derecho, it’s been through multiple snowstorms, but that storm the other night just broke the letters clear from the railing,” he said. Olsen said he won’t let the space reserved for the LOVE sign stay vacant too long. Once he saw the damage, he decided the sign would have to be replaced as soon as possible. “It’s part of the community. … Thousands of pictures have been taken in front of that sign,” he said. “We can’t let it go.”
Crime rate down in 2018, but overdoses, DUIs on the rise CRIME, from page 1 Police officers carry the life-saving overdose-reversal drug, Narcan, and all the department’s officers are trained to administer it, according to officials. “We continue to have a very strong concern about opioid overdose deaths,” Barnard said. “We need to do everything we can as a community to reduce this number.”
Nine murders in 2018
Murders also rose in 2018 – there were nine murders last year, an increase from four in 2017. Firearms were used in six of the 2018 murders. Stabbings and blunt-force trauma were the mode of killing in the other three cases. In all but one of the murders, the people involved were acquainted with each other. Assaults on police officers increased 12.8% in 2018, part of a steady increase over the past five years. There were 167 assaults on police officers in 2018, according to the crime report, an increase from 148 in 2017. DUI arrests increased by 20.9%
in 2018. There were 1,379 DUI arrests in 2018, and 1,132 DUI arrests in 2017. Barnard reiterated that driving under the influence is a crime and not just a traffic offense that puts the community at risk. “There are awful stories about losing lives in Prince William County due to drunk driving,” Barnard said. “It injures and kills and tears families apart.” Rapes and aggravated assaults reported to police dropped significantly in 2018 after several straight years of increases. There were 83 reported rapes in 2018, down from 112 in 2017. There were 500 reported aggravated assaults in 2018, down from 576 in 2017.

Michele McQuigg Park? County rec board says not so fast By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
The late Michele McQuigg served the Prince William community for 25 years, first as a supervisor, then as a state delegate and finally as clerk of the circuit court. But in 2014, when she was the circuit court clerk, McQuigg, a Republican, effectively delayed gay marriage in Virginia for a few months by intervening in a lawsuit to defend the state’s 2006 constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage when Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) would not. That decision was enough to give the Prince William County Parks and Recreation Commission pause about a decision to name a new park in the Occoquan District for McQuigg. “I’m not a member of the particular community affected by her stance, but I have friends and family members who are, and I just cannot set aside the fact that Mrs. McQuigg inserted herself into [the lawsuit] and will now go down in history … for that stance,” said Parks and Rec Commissioner Sharon Richardson, who represents the Woodbridge District. “…For that reason, I am not comfortable naming the park for Mrs. McQuigg.” The commission voted 6 to 2 on Wednesday, July 17, to decline
a request, originally forwarded by Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, to name the new park for McQuigg, who died of cancer in February 2017 at age 69. The only commissioners voting in favor of recommending that the park be named for McQuigg were Commissioner Jane Beyer, of the Coles District and the board’s chairwoman, and Commissioner Brodie Freer of the Occoquan District. The recommendation, had it been approved, would have gone to the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, which as the final say on naming new parks and facilities within Prince William County’s parks. The commission decided instead to re-start the naming process for the new park by forming another naming committee to consider new suggestions from the community. Several commissioners expressed their support for re-opening the process. “I’m not saying no on her name,” said Commissioner Brenda Gardziel, of the Potomac District. “I’m saying that we go back to the drawing board. Her name is one of the ones we can consider.” McQuigg served as Occoquan District supervisor from 1992 to 1998; as a state delegate from 1998 to 2008; and finally as the county’s circuit court clerk from 2007 until her death in 2017.
Democrat Ann Wheeler tops fundraising in race for county board chair FUNDRAISING, from page 3 Gray has also backed a plan to maintain the one-home-per-10-acre residential zoning in the county’s rural crescent, a swath of about 100,000 acres along the county’s western and northern borders. Likeminded rural voters, he said, were a major factor in his primary victory. Stewart has served in the position since 2007 and announced in January that he wouldn’t be running for re-election after unsuccessful statewide campaigns for governor and U.S. Senate. Three Independent candidates are also in the race to replace Stewart. In June, Muneer Baig raised $3,911; Don Scoggins raised $2,000; and Jesse Maggitt raised $0, according to finance reports compiled by VPAP. Republicans currently occupy six of the eight board of supervisors seats. Four current supervisors are not running for re-election or lost their primaries, meaning four new supervisors will serve on the board in 2020, including the board chair.
GOP mostly outraising Dems in supervisors’ races
The June campaign finance reports show Republicans continuing to outraise Democrats in four of five contested supervisors’ races. Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, and Margaret Angela Franklin, who beat incumbent Supervisor Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, in the June 13 primary, are running unopposed in their districts.
Incumbent Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, raised $19,060 in June, bringing her 2019 total to $99,625. Her opponent, Democrat Maggie Hansford, raised $7,893 in June, bringing her 2019 total contributions to $47,399. In the Coles District, Republican Yesli Vega raised $7,106 in June, bringing her 2019 total to $35,108. Her opponent, Democrat Raheel Sheikh, raised only $1,180 in June, bringing his 2019 total contributions to $18,853. Nohe is district’s current supervisor. Incumbent Supervisor Peter Candland, R-Gainesville, raised $7,629 in June, bringing his 2019 total to $23,249. His opponent, Democrat Danny Funderburk, raised $4,479 in June, bringing his 2019 total contributions to $9,930. Incumbent Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, raised $17,887 in June, bringing her 2019 total to $80,249. Her opponent, Democrat Kenny Boddye, raised $9,273 in June, bringing his 2019 total contributions to $34,662. Andrea Bailey is so far the only Democratic candidate for supervisor who has outraised a Republican opponent. Bailey, who is vying for the Potomac District supervisor seat, raised $16,559 in June, bringing her 2019 total to $68,122. Doug Taggart, the Republican candidate for the seat, raised $3,220 in June, bring his 2019 total contributions to $16,723. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Board backs state funding for jail mental health pilot By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously July 16 to ratify a $351,909 grant to continue a state-funded mental health pilot program at Prince William-Manassas Regional Jail that aims to reduce recidivism among female inmates who suffer from mental illness. The program is part of a statewide effort to address increasing rates of inmates who face such challenges. Nearly 20% of all inmates housed in Virginia’s local jails in 2018 had a mental illness, according to the State
Compensation Board, up from 11% reported in 2012. Prince William-Manassas Regional Jail is one of six in the state that have participated in the pilot program, which was implemented in 2017. It is the only jail that receives specific funding to address the needs of its women inmates, which is where the aid is most needed, officials say. “We felt this was something missing for our female population,” said Capt. Michael Taylor. “We have a re-entry program for our males, so we’re addressing their needs that way. We needed the funding for the female population.”
There are typically around 100 female inmates held at the jail, or about 10% of the total population. Under the pilot program, those inmates are served by two mental health specialists who provide regular mental health screenings, group therapy and individual counseling, as well as reentry services like housing, job and healthcare assistance when inmates are released. “If they have mental health needs, we need to address that, and with this grant we were able to get more doctors hours and psychiatrists,” Taylor said. A report by the State Compensation Board has shown disparities in
the mental health of male and female inmates -- 34% of female inmates in Virginia’s local jails were diagnosed with a mental illness in 2018, more than double the percentage of mentally ill male inmates. Prisoners struggling with mental illness are often segregated from the general population of the jail or placed in isolated cells away from other inmates. Of the 7,852 mentally ill inmates identified in Virginia jails last year, 906 had been housed in isolation, or solitary confinement, according to the state report.

Supreme Court decision on uranium helps protect drinking water
Prince William: A county of immigrants There’s been a lot of conversation – and controversy -- over the past several weeks about immigration. Whether tied to the ongoing surge of Central American migrants at the southern border or recent tweets from our country’s highest officials, it seems our national news cycle has been consumed by talk of immigration and the ways our system of welcoming and processing migrants seeking asylum is in a state of distress. What’s less discussed is the role that immigrants play in our local communities. For example, while Prince William County is obviously diverse, some may not realize that nearly one in four county residents – or about 23.4% -- are foreign born. That percent is even higher in the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, where the percent of foreign born residents is 26.2% and 35.6%, respectively. That means that well more than 100,000 of our local neighbors are immigrants, a statistic that even we at the Prince William Times didn’t know before we began digging into the numbers. Thanks to the Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis, we’ve recently learned even more about the impact local immigrants have on both our county and state. The nonprofit’s June 2019 report titled, “Virginia Immigrants in the Economy: Pillars of Prosperous Communities” is a fascinating compilation of facts about immigrants living in Virginia. The report notes: • Virginia is home to more than 1 million immigrants, who make up 12.5% of the state’s overall population. That’s slightly below the states’ national average of 13.7%. • Virginia’s immigrants come from many places but most commonly El Salvador, which is the country of origin for 11% of the state’s newcomers. India is next on the list with 9%, followed by Korea with 6% and Mexico with 5%. About 43% of Virginia’s immigrant popu-
lation was born in Asia, the largest group from any continent. • More than two-thirds of the state’s immigrants live in Northern Virginia, making up around 27% of the region’s population. • More than half of Virginia’s immigrants are naturalized U.S. citizens, meaning they have lived in the U.S. for at least five years, applied for naturalization and passed a citizenship test in addition to meeting other requirements. Also, most of Virginia’s immigrants have been here a long time, more than half for at least 16 years. • Almost one in four Virginia children have at least one foreign-born parent. • In Virginia, immigrants are more likely to participate in the workforce and more likely to have earned a bachelor’s degree than our native residents. • Around 5% of Virginia’s immigrant workers are self-employed owners of businesses, compared to nearly 3% of U.S.-born workers. Virginia immigrants are also major contributors to “Main Street” establishment. Across the state, three-quarters of grocery stores and two-thirds of gas stations, dry-cleaning and laundry services were immigrant-owned by immigrants in 2013. The report, which is worth reading, also lists changes state policymakers should consider to give Virginia’s immigrants a firmer footing. They include dismantling the obstacles that keep even lawfully present immigrants from applying for driver’s licenses and qualifying for Medicaid, as well as better support for programs that help immigrants adults learn English. Despite these ongoing challenges, Prince William and Virginia are clearly more interesting and prosperous places because more than 1 million immigrants choose to call our state home. We’re glad they’re here.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a decision that has major significance for Virginia and especially for Northern Virginia, in addition to their decision on redistricting. Few realize Virginia has a series of uranium lodes that run along the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The largest lode is in Pittsylvania County on the North Carolina border, but a major series of lodes are in Madison, Culpeper and Fauquier counties at the headwaters of the Occoquan River. The Occoquan is a major source of drinking water for Fairfax and Prince William counties. After Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island near disaster in 1979, a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor, the Virginia General Assembly in 1982 enacted a moratorium on uranium mining. While some federal permits are required for uranium mining, most thought the states were allowed to adopt more stringent environmental protections as they are for any other mining or environmental requirements. Shortly after I was elected to the House of Delegates, the worldwide prices of uranium spiked after the supply of uranium recycled from Russian nuclear warheads was exhausted. The estimates of the value of the 119-million-pound Pittsylvania County lode rose to $7 billion. There is still significant demand for uranium inside and outside of Virginia. Over 30 percent of electricity generated by Dominion Energy comes from nuclear reactors on Lake Anna near Fredericksburg and the James River in Surry County. Also, uranium is imported from abroad and west of the Mississippi River. In 2012, a team of international investors was assembled, and their first step was to try to lobby the state legislature to lift the ban. They spread around campaign contributions, and before the post-McDonnell gift ban went into effect, state legislators were offered trips to France to see a uranium mine and, from the proponents point of view, to show how uranium mining can be done safely. About 20 elected officials took the trip. I did not. Ultimately, the legislature left the mining moratorium in place. Many of us were concerned about the environmental risk posed by mining and we respected the members who represented the
SEN. SCOTT SUROVELL
affected areas who were strongly opposed, in part due to strong local opposition, even though, they argued, they were in dire need for jobs in Southside and Southwest Virginia. I opposed lifting the ban largely because of the potential impacts on Northern Virginia drinking water. Over 1 million people depend on the Occoquan River for drinking water and any threats to that water must be taken seriously. However, the mining advocates were not done. Two years ago, they filed suit seeking to overturn the Virginia uranium mining moratorium, arguing that federal law pre-empted or prohibited any regulation by the state. The Trump Administration supported the pro-mining position. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed in a 6-to-3 ruling. The gist of the court’s decision was that Congress did not intend to take away states’ discretion to regulate this activity. The Occoquan River is still under threat. Prince William County is currently re-evaluating its rural crescent zoning policy. Earlier this year, we discovered that Micron’s semiconductor manufacturing facility in Manassas was discharging water with elevated salt levels that was adversely affecting water quality in the Occoquan Reservoir. Fortunately, we were able to secure language in the state budget to require the Department of Environmental Quality to re-examine its permitting. The Supreme Court opinion was an important victory for clean drinking water. Uranium mining could pose a long-term pollution threat in Virginia and especially in Northern Virginia. Drinking water is a fragile resource and once mines start to leak, remediation is very difficult. Letting the ban stand is an important victory.

RIGHT-FOOTED WONDER
Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Patriot grad Mayhugh is starring for U.S. Paralympic soccer team By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Nine years ago, Nick Mayhugh lay in bed at home in Gainesville, unable to move and convinced he was going to die. Then he blacked out and bit through his tongue. Mayhugh soon regained consciousness but only to end up lying in a hospital bed in Manassas, listening to a doctor say he may never play soccer again thanks to the grand mal seizure he had experienced. Before that day, he had envisioned going from playing for the D.C. United Academy team to playing for an NCAA Division I team to playing for the U.S. Men’s National Team, but that path disintegrated in his mind after the seizure. Yet, just last week, Mayhugh played in Seville, Spain, and produced a five-goal performance for the U.S. Paralympic National Team that caught the attention of one of America’s most beloved soccer players, Alex Morgan, who gave him a shout out on Twitter. “It’s been a wild ride,” Mayhugh, a 2014 Patriot High graduate, said. “I remember growing up and always wanting to play for my country. It’s a dream come true. “I’m just in awe that I’m actually playing,” said Mayhugh, who graduated from Radford University in 2018 after playing for its men’s soccer team despite learning in 2010 that he had a debilitating golf-ball-sized dead spot in his brain. “It’s been amazing.” While in Spain the past two weeks, Mayhugh helped the U.S. Para 7-A-Side National Team place sixth in the 2019 International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football World Cup, setting an American record with 11 goals in the tournament. Mayhugh, 23, scored a team-record five of those goals July 10 during a 13-0 win over Finland as the U.S. played its way to first place in the Group B pool. About a month earlier, Morgan and the U.S. Women’s National Team had an eerily similar showing June 11 during their World Cup. Morgan scored five goals as the Americans defeated Thailand 13-0 and grabbed international headlines for the rout. After Mayhugh mimicked that performance against Finland, Morgan’s Twitter account celebrated his feat. The ensuing social media favorites, retweets and comments sent a couple thousand notifications through Mayhugh’s phone. “That was a moment of ‘Holy cow,’ I can’t believe it. That’s crazy,’” Mayhugh said of Morgan’s shout out. “My phone actually was bugging out and wasn’t working for hours after that.
“I wouldn’t consider any of the guys on the (U.S. Paralympic soccer) team to be quote-unquote disabled. They all are elite-level athletes.” Nick Mayhugh “But it was a good problem to have,” said Mayhugh, who has played in 22 matches with the national team since joining the U.S. in 2017.
Left frustrated
Nick Mayhugh realized at a young age that he didn’t have the same control and feeling in the left side of his body as in the right side. But he never received an accurate diagnosis until after suffering that grand mal seizure in 2010. So, for a long string of frustrating years, coaches often assumed he was just a right-dominant player who didn’t work hard enough to improve his left-side skills. “I remember failing at it miserably, trying to use my left foot,” Mayhugh said. “I remember crying on the ride home in the car.” His doctors didn’t have any answers and his parents, Stephnee Peer and Scott Mayhugh, didn’t seem to understand. So Nick Mayhugh spent years devoting extra time to practicing with his left foot, often doing drills with his older brother, Thomas, until the sun set. He also had to work on perfecting every-day tasks as he grew up. He would close his bedroom door, for example, and teach himself to walk with less of a limp. “And teaching myself how to tie my shoes because I couldn’t feel the fingers on my left hand,” Mayhugh said. “And to not fall over getting dressed. “I developed such strong coping mechanisms trying to make things look as fluid as possible,” he said. In elementary school, Mayhugh tried to learn to play the recorder, a flute-like instrument, but he struggled without much feeling in his left hand. The circular holes of the recorder would actually imprint on his fingers, so he could see proof that he was at least trying to play certain notes. “I said to the teacher, ‘You can see the circle, but I can’t feel that,” Mayhugh said, trying to justify his struggles. “That actually got me in trouble. Nobody really took it seriously. They just thought I was the class clown.” In reality, Mayhugh had a form of cerebral palsy, which his 2010 seizure finally revealed, albeit not in the most pleasant way. “I was scared and convinced I was going to die,” Mayhugh said of

Nick Mayhugh, 23, lived with physical challenges until a grand mal seizure in his mid-teens led to his diagnosis of cerebral palsy. The 2014 Patriot High graduate is now a star for the U.S. Paralympic Men’s Soccer Team. the seizure that caused him to bite through his tongue and left him unconscious. “In the ambulance, I was waking up with dried blood all down my chin and T-shirt.” Later, his neurologist said Mayhugh likely had a stroke in utero, which damaged some brain cells responsible for muscle control and movement. That explained the differences between the left and right sides of his body. “I remember feeling a sense of relief and a weight off my shoulders,” Mayhugh said of finally receiving a diagnosis. “I looked at my mom and dad and was like, ‘You guys believe me now?’ “But then, in the next couple words, my neurologist said I was never going to play soccer again,” he said. “It was a rough couple of months and definitely the darkest part of my life.” Mayhugh did not play soccer for
about six months and lost his spot on his D.C. United Academy club team, but his doctor eventually cleared him to play again as concern over continued seizures abated. So Mayhugh has taken medication almost every morning and evening for nine years to avoid another incident, and he has played plenty of soccer in that time. Mayhugh has also begun to do some public speaking as he tries to raise awareness about the U.S. Paralympics team. “I spent 21 years without knowing the team was a thing,” he said. “I was completely unaware. “It’s just getting the word out there that this entire world exists for people who have physical disabilities,” he said. “But I wouldn’t consider any of the guys on the team to be quote-unquote disabled. They all are elite-level athletes.”

Hootie & the Blowfish will play at Jiffy Lube Live on Saturday, July 27.
Hootie & the Blowfish bring ‘Group Therapy’ to Jiffy Lube ’90s band returns with new music after 10-year hiatus By Alan Sculley
Contributing Writer
Hootie & the Blowfish could easily have made their return after a decade-long hiatus with a tour during which they simply played their hits and from the five albums they made during their initial 20-year run. Instead, the group will have a new studio album to go with at least part of this summer’s reunion tour. Singer Darius Rucker said the need for new music to play on their return tour was obvious. “I think the main reason [for the new album] was for all those people who are really, really diehard fans who just loved the music and just want something new,” Rucker said. “They don’t want us to play 15 new songs in the set, you know, but they want some new music. And [it’s] for us, for ourselves, for our sanity of doing something new. We haven’t made a new record in 15 years. So, I think it’s for us [too], just to play something new.” Hootie & the Blowfish will bring their Group Therapy tour to Jiffy Lube Live on Saturday, July 27, for a 7:30 p.m. show. Tickets are available at multiple outlets, ranging from $35 for lawn seats to between $49 and more than
$600 to sit under the amphitheater. The Hootie & the Blowfish reunion has been anticipated for some time. Even as Rucker’s country career took off, he said in multiple interviews that the band would someday tour again and make another album. It was after Rucker’s tour for his 2017 country album, “When Was The Last Time,” that things went into motion for the return appearance of Hootie & the Blowfish. Timing played a key role in the choice of 2019 for the big reunion, Rucker said. “The main reason is this is the 25th anniversary of ‘Cracked Rear View,’” Rucker said, mentioning the blockbuster 1994 Hootie & the Blowfish major label debut album. “That was reason enough to get back and go out [on tour] for a year and do the record. And we knew we wanted to do it. We just knew we wanted to do it when the time was right. When we stopped playing, we were putting 8,000 people in a 12,000-seater. And that’s cool and that’s a money maker, but that’s not selling out. So, we wanted to do it when it mattered.” If you were a music fan in the ’90s, you know the band’s story. In 1994, Hootie & the Blowfish’s major label
debut, the aforementioned “Cracked Rear View,” became as ubiquitous as any album in rock history, selling an astonishing 16 million copies as earnest and tuneful hits like “Hold My Hand,” “Let Her Cry” and “Only Wanna Be With You” were played incessantly on FM radio and became staple on college campuses nationwide. The band’s solid follow-up album, “Fairweather Johnson,” did reasonably well, moving 2.3 million units. But by then a backlash had started to gain steam, and before long, Hootie & the Blowfish were branded the most uncool band going. The group soldiered on, releasing three more albums, while doing decent business on tours until the 2008 hiatus. Rucker said Hootie & the Blowfish, which includes Rucker (vocals/ guitar), Mark Bryan (guitar/piano), Dean Felber (bass/piano) and Jim Sonefeld (drums), will vary their set lists on tour, generally deciding what songs – including new material – to play on the day of each show. The new Hootie & the Blowfish album, which is being produced by Jeff Trott (songwriter/producer credits include Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks and Joe Cocker) came together quite seamlessly from the sound of things, with the band choosing from 80 songs that were in play for the album. Rucker noted that even though the group had gone a decade and a half since making new music, the four band members settled right back into their
collaborative writing routine. “It’s so funny for us,” he said. “We can go forever, and when we get in a room together, we’re back in that same dynamic we had since we were 19. So it’s the same thing for us. We write the way we write.” The band members also wrote with outside songwriters. One notable artist who joined in the writing was Ed Sheeran, who co-wrote a pair of songs with Rucker for the new Hootie & the Blowfish album and a third song that Rucker may record on his next country album. Rucker and Sheeran met well before the latter became a household name to music fans. “I met Ed before he got famous. He was doing something in the states before the Taylor (Swift) tour. My oldest daughter had discovered him on YouTube and said will you take me to see this kid, Ed Sheeran?” Rucker said. Rucker, who will focus on his country career in 2020, hinted that this year’s Hootie & the Blowfish reunion won’t be a one-time event. But the band will have to pick its spots for tours and making more music. “We can’t do Hootie & the Blowfish every summer. If we’re going to do this, then do it the right way,” he said. “We have to do it like other bands do it. Bands that are at our level and where we are in our career don’t go out every summer. Go out every four years, every five years. Then you do what we just did, sell out every show you play.”

Powdery Mildew Powdery mildew is a foliage disease, which occurs on nearly all species of ornamental plants. Rose, dogwood, crape myrtle, lilac, sycamore, catalpa and crabapple are among the species most commonly affected. Although it seldom causes permanent damage, this disease can cause premature defoliation, growth reduction, and generally render the host aesthetically unpleasing. We are pledged to the letter and spirit of Virginia’s policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Commonwealth. We encourage and support advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, age, familial status, or national origin. All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Virginia and federal fair housing laws, which make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or elderliness, or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.” This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis. For more information or to file a housing complaint, call the Virginia Fair Housing office at 804-367-8530 or toll-free at 888-551-3247. For the hearing impaired, call 804-367-9753. EMAIL: fairhousing@dpor.virginia.gov WEBSITE:dpor.virginia.gov/fairhousing
Powdery mildew may occur at any time during the growing season; however, it is usually most severe in the late summer months. Warm, humid weather, characteristic of late summer, is generally best for disease development. SYMPTOMS Foliage, stems, and flowers become covered with a white-to-grey powdery growth. Stunting and distortion of developing leaves and stems usually accompanies these symptoms. Leaves eventually become chlorotic and fall, and succulent terminals may die back. Fungicide treatments will effectively control powdery mildew if applied regularly beginning when infection first occurs. For more information or to schedule an appointment for a complimentary consultation with one of our ISA Certified Arborists call 877-BARTLETT today.

Julie Thayer Vehr Julie Thayer Vehr, a dedicated conservationist and one of the first Middleburg area residents to place her farm in conservation easement in the mid-1980s, died on June 22 at the age of 91. Mrs. Vehr, also known as “Dody” since childhood, was a talented artist and an avid equestrian as a member of the Piedmont Hunt in Upperville. A beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, she lived at Fiddlers Green Farm in Unison for almost 60 years. She was born April 3, 1928 in Haverford, Pennsylvania, where she also grew up. Her mother, Lois Cassatt Thayer, was a niece of famed impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. Her father, John Borland Thayer, survived the sinking of the Titanic when he was 17 years old. Mrs. Vehr attended the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1950. While at Penn, she practiced the art of fencing and pursued the sport for a number of years. In 1952, she married the late C. Oliver (Ollie) Iselin III. After living in Georgetown for several years, they were stationed abroad for 12 years in government service until 1970 when they returned to their farm, Fiddlers Green, in Unison. She and Mr. Iselin were divorced in 1977. She married George Vehr in 1983, and he predeceased her in 2007. Mrs. Vehr was an early member and a chair of the Goose Creek Association, a conservation organization in the Middleburg area. She also was one of the founders of the Beaver Dam Creek Historic Roadways District in Loudoun County, which focused on preserving rural roads. An animal lover, a gardener, an avid reader, and conservationist, she also en-joyed traveling, participating in riding trips abroad with friends. She spent summers with her family in Hulls Cove in Maine, where, in her youth, she had been a sailing enthusiast. She also was a member of the Middleburg Tennis Club. Mrs. Vehr was a long-time member of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Middleburg, where she served on the Vestry and Altar Guild and was a frequent volunteer at the church’s annual rummage sale and Christmas Shop. Mrs. Vehr is survived by her daughter, Julie Diehl of Middleburg, a sister, Pauline Maguire of Shoreham, Vermont, two grandsons, Daniel Malone of Middleburg and Malcolm Malone of Denver, Colorado, and numerous nieces and nephews.
