Democrats elected to Prince William’s Board of Supervisors say they will review the county’s decade-long partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, setting the stage for a potential conflict with Sheriff Glen Hill, a Republican and staunch supporter of the agreement who was re-elected to a fifth term last week. Hill serves as chairman of the 10-member Prince William-Manassas Regional Jail Board, which will decide sometime next year whether Prince William County, Manassas and See ICE, page 2

Election leaves ICE agreement in question ICE, from page 2 Manassas Park will retain its agreement with ICE, known as 287(g). Hill signed the county’s first memorandum of agreement with ICE in 2008, which the board renewed every three years until this past May when it agreed to only a one-year extension because of the upcoming November election. Newly elected Democratic supervisors said repeatedly on the campaign trail that local dollars should not be spent to fund the ICE agreement, which costs about $300,000 in local tax dollars per year, according to records jail officials provided in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. But since the election, Hill has not responded to requests for comment, and Board Chair-Elect Ann Wheeler, the first Democrat elected to lead the county supervisors since 1999, has not offered a specific response about the future of the ICE agreement. In emails this week, Wheeler declined to elaborate on remarks she made at a post-election press conference Nov. 6, when she said she expects the new Democratic-majority board will review 287(g) along with other county policies. “I expect the newly elected board of county supervisors will perform a comprehensive review of all of our current immigration policies,” Wheeler said. Speaking at a candidates’ forum prior to the election, however, Wheel-

er said she would not support maintaining the agreement if elected. “The 287(g) program, whether we have it or not, does not mean we don’t lock up serious criminals who have serious offenses,” she said. In an August interview, Hill called the agreement an effective law-enforcement tool that increased public safety in the county. “I’m quite sure that there have been people detained with ICE detainers that gave us some good information about gang activity, drug activity and human trafficking that’s going on in the county and the surrounding area,” Hill said at the time. Hill narrowly beat Democrat Josh King by about 750 votes in the Nov. 5 contest. King campaigned heavily on his pledge to end the county’s ICE partnership and called on Hill and the now Democratic-led county board to do the same in his concession statement (see story on page 3). The 287(g) agreement effectively deputizes jail officers as ICE agents, giving them access federal databases and allowing the jail to hold inmates for 48 hours past their release date so ICE can take them into custody if it chooses. Under the agreement, 6,503 inmates were transferred to ICE custody from the local jail between 2011 and 2019, according to records obtained in a FOIA request. It is not clear what happened to those individuals, however, because im-

REAL ESTATE TAXES DUE December 5, 2019 Prince William County real estate taxes for the second half of 2019 are due on December 5, 2019. If you have not received a tax bill for your property and believe you should have, contact the Tax Administration Office at (703) 792-6710 or by email at TaxpayerServices@ pwcgov.org. A late payment penalty of 10% will be assessed on the unpaid tax balance if taxes are not paid in full by the due date, If you receive a tax bill and escrow property taxes with your mortgage company, you should contact your mortgage company immediately.

migration violations are civil -- not criminal -- offenses, which means individual cases are not public record, according to ICE officials. Only two counties in Virginia hold a 287(g) agreement with ICE: Prince William and Culpeper. When Prince William County’s government transitions in January, elected Democrats will take the majority not only of the board of supervisors but also the jail board. Its members will include Commonwealth’s Attorney-Elect Amy Ashworth (D), Clerk of the Circuit Court Jacqueline Smith (D) and five citizen members appointed by the Prince William County Board of Supervisors and Manassas City Council, both of which have Democratic majorities. Two county staff members -- Director of Office of Criminal Justice Services Steven Austin and Prince William County Police Chief Barry Barnard – also serve on the jail board. Ashworth has been critical of the county’s ICE agreement on the campaign trail. Ashworth said at a candidate’s forum the program did nothing to ensure county residents’ safety. “We created an entire class of people, namely immigrants -- some legal, some not legal -- that were afraid to come forward and report crimes,” Ashworth said. CASA in Action, the region’s largest pro-immigrant political organization, endorsed King, Ashworth and all five Democratic supervisors-elect and actively campaigned on their behalf. Luis Aguilar, Virginia director of CASA in Action, said he expects the new board to end the county’s 287(g) program. “We expect them to remove that program and end that program. It’s critical to have that,” Aguilar said. But exactly how quickly either the Prince William County board or the Manassas City Council will move on the agreement remained unclear this week. Supervisor-Elect Margaret Franklin was the only Democratic newly elected board member to offer a clear position on the issue. “Everyone in Prince William County deserves a fair chance to provide for their families,” Franklin said in an email. “Policies that are divisive, like 287(g), have no place in our community. I will protect the immigrant families in my district,

and I’m looking forward to working with our new board to defund policies that do the opposite.” Supervisor-Elect Kenny Boddye, a Democrat elected to represent the Occoquan District, declined to comment on the record about the future of the county’s ICE agreement. No other newly elected Democratic supervisors-elect returned emails for comment. Manassas City Councilman Mark Wolfe, also a Democrat, said his council has not recently discussed the 287(g) agreement and has no immediate plans to do. Wolfe further said the city’s police department is generally supportive 287(g). “I have always been guided by the input I receive from my police department that the program has been beneficial,” Wolfe said. “Cost is a legitimate concern. Why should local tax dollars be supporting a federal program? But there is also a benefit to the locality of having a safer community.” Supervisor-Elect Yesli Vega, a Republican elected to represent the Coles District, said she remains a supporter of the 287(g) agreement. The other two Republican supervisors returning to the board – Supervisors Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, and Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville -- did not return emails seeking comment. Vega, a former Manassas Park police officer and Prince William County sheriff’s deputy, campaigned on continuing the county’s ICE agreement. “As a former police officer and Latina, I know firsthand that ending the 287(g) agreement would put our immigrant communities at the greatest risk of danger,” Vega said in an email. “The criminals subject to the agreement are the worst of the worst – people who commit armed robbery, rapists, murderers. Not your everyday Hispanic immigrant walking down the street, just trying to make a living.” Asked if she thought the board would have difficulty ending the program because Hill is chair of the regional jail board, Vega replied: “Yes.” The regional jail board meets every third Wednesday in odd months at the Adult Detention Center at 7 p.m. The next meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Sheriff Glen Hill wins fifth term

King concedes, calls to end ICE agreement By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Democrat Josh King congratulated Sheriff Glen Hill on a “close but clean” victory Thursday night and called on Hill and the newly elected Prince William Board of Supervisors to end the county’s controversial agreement with federal immigration enforcement officials known as 287(g). King made ending 287(g) a fixture of his campaign. In strongly worded concession statement, King called the agreement “the Jim Crow of the new millennium” and said the county’s law-enforcement “cannot build public trust with Prince William’s majority-minority community as long as it remains in place.” King noted that Hill, as chairman of the Prince William Regional Jail Board, has “both a vote and a voice in ending this voluntary program,” King’s statement said. Hill, a Republican, won a fifthterm in office Wednesday after coming out on top of a three-way race. As the vote continued to trickle in on Thursday, Nov. 7, Hill was leading with 56,242 votes in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, compared to King’s 55,483 votes and independent Rhonda Dickson’s 12,414 votes, according

Sheriff Glen Hill (R) won a fifth term in office last week in a close, three-way race for re-election. to the Virginia Department of Elections. Hill, a Republican, defended the county’s agreement with ICE during the campaign. Prince William and Culpeper counties are the only two in Virginia that have a 287(g) memo-

randum of agreement with ICE. The agreement allows jail deputies to act as ICE agents for the purpose of investigating inmates’ immigration status. The jail also agrees to

hold inmates at the jail for up to 48 hours beyond their rightful release so ICE can pick them up for further processing or to detain them in an ICE facility if the agency chooses to do so. King also called on the incoming board of supervisors, which will have a 5-to-3 Democratic majority in January, to defund the 287(g) program. “The county raised taxes and cut public safety services upon its adoption, which has since cost our community more than $2 million,” his statement said. “We are living in an era in which our country is putting brown children in cages. Now more than ever, it is our moral imperative to do everything we can to end discrimination against and the dehumanization of immigrants and people of color,” his statement said. “With a Democratic majority, the board of supervisors can and should defund this program. There is no time for timidity.” King, 38, is a Fairfax County Sheriff’s deputy and an Iraq War veteran. He and his wife, Candi, live in Dumfries and have three children, including an autistic teenage daughter. Hill did not respond to requests for comment. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Despite ‘off year,’ local voter turnout surges Virginia’s “off-off-year” elections typically have low voter turnout – usually less than 30%. But this year, turnout reached nearly 40%, breaking records statewide for an election in which there were no presidential, gubernatorial or congressional races on the ballot. In Prince William County, where there were several high-profile state and local elections, voter turnout reached 40.7%, or 111,000 voters, according to the county’s office of elections. That was an increase compared to 2015, the last off-off-year election, when voter turnout in the county was 27%, or 66,700 voters. Matt Wilson, spokesman for county’s office of elections, said Tuesday’s big turnout is part of larger trend that started after the 2016 presidential election. “Ever since 2016, you can basically add 10% to every election,” Wilson said. “The only real conclusion we can come to is, 2016 happened and people got riled up.” Democrats made big gains locally in the Nov. 5 contest, picking up three seats on the Prince William

County Board of Supervisors, giving them a 5-3 majority for the first time in a generation. Democrat Ann Wheeler was elected at-large chair and will replace outgoing Republican Chairman Corey Stewart as the head of the county board. On the Prince William County School Board, candidates endorsed by Democrats picked up two seats, increasing their majority to 7-to-1, and incumbent Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef was re-elected to a full term after winning a special election in 2018. Democrat Amy Ashworth was elected commonwealth’s attorney for Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, succeeding the state’s longest-serving prosecutor Paul Ebert (D). Republican incumbent Sheriff Glen Hill narrowly beat his Democratic opponent Josh King by just more than 700 votes. In terms of turnout, Wilson said he expects more of the same in next year’s presidential election. “In 2016, we ended up with turnout in the high 60s. I wouldn’t be shocked if we were well into the 80s in 2020,” Wilson said. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

OPIOID RIPPLES

The stubborn stigma of addiction OPIOID, from page 1

PHOTO BY KENNETH GARRETT

Culpeper librarian Dee Fleming’s son Joe overdosed on cocaine and fentanyl. Since his death, Fleming has taken up the cause of getting local businesses to include the anti-overdose drug Narcan in their first-aid kits.

Culpeper County set to create drug court DRUG COURT, from page 1 Lawson, director of the county’s Department of Criminal Justice Services, has become an advocate of establishing a drug treatment court. He has been joined by Paul Walther, Culpeper’s commonwealth’s attorney. “I’ve seen drug courts come and go,” he said. “But after Andrew and I talked about it, I came to the conclusion that we had to do something.” Last summer, the Culpeper Board of Supervisors voted to allow them to explore a drug court option, and last month, the Virginia Supreme Court gave them the go-ahead. Drug courts give nonviolent offenders the opportunity to avoid jail by entering into a court-supervised program that includes treatment, but also frequent testing and sanctions if a person doesn’t comply with requirements. Proponents point out that this approach costs less than incarcerating someone, reduces jail overcrowding and provides closely monitored treatment. They also say it lowers recidivism. A national meta-analysis of relevant studies found that recidivism rates were 8 to 14 percent lower for drug court participants than for offenders who didn’t go through a program. But evaluating the true effectiveness of drug courts is complicated, says Lauren Cummings, executive director of the Northern Shenandoah Valley Substance Abuse Coalition. She played a lead role in establishing the Northwestern Regional Adult Treatment Court (NRATC) three years ago. It serves the city of Winchester and Frederick and Clarke counties. “Some people just think someone will go to drug court and they’ll be fixed,” she said. “But it’s not that easy. People in drug court … their normal is not our normal.” A healthy percentage don’t make it all the way through. Of the 61 NRATC participants, 31 are still in the program and another 11 have successfully completed it. But 17 have been sent to jail for failing to

meet sobriety and participation requirements, such as weekly court appearances and meetings with a probation officer. Two more died, one from an overdose. Cummings doesn’t view ejection from the program as a failure. Many drug court participants have never received treatment, she said, and more of those who relapse reach out for help now. There’s no one pathway to recovery, she says, and it’s important to focus on specific accomplishments, such as whether a person has been able to find housing or stay employed or get their kids back from foster care. “For some of our clients, drug court is the first program they have ever successfully completed,” she said, “and therefore celebrating successes is so important.” Completing the program, which includes four phases of supervision and treatment, can take a year or longer. According to Cummings, the average cost per person is $36 a day, compared to $81 a day for someone incarcerated in the Rappahannock Shenandoah Warren Regional Jail in Front Royal. “The reality is we can’t afford not to treat them,” she said. But a drug court in Culpeper County is still probably two years away. Walther said the next step is training at the National Drug Court Institute next year, which will help shape how county officials decide to structure the program. “You can make it very strict. You can design it so people are drugtested every day if you want,” he said. “Or you can design it where you give people more chances.” For Lawson, a key to a drug court’s effectiveness is a clear understanding of the power of addiction. “For someone to just stop using is extremely difficult. People are still going to have issues,” he said. “You have to expect failures to a certain extent. If the attitude is that a person is going to come in and they’re never going to use again, that’s not going to work.”

– Randy Rieland

Within a day, the woman was on her way to a treatment center in Florida. Lambert said she has now been clean for about a year and has recently returned to the area. “It’s one of our favorite success stories,” Lambert said. “There’s no doubt in my mind that if we hadn’t intervened, she would have gone back out and overdosed and died.” It’s a feel-good story, but one that also lays bare a dark corner of the opioid crisis: the stigma of addiction. In this case, it’s reflected in the shame and hopelessness of a woman who sees herself as a social pariah with no expectation of finding help to regain control of her life. But stigma also plays out in community resistance to recovery housing, doctors’ reluctance to take on patients needing substance abuse treatment and the persistence of the notion that helping addicts is indulging them. “There’s definitely still a stigma,” said Judge Melissa Cupp, who handles foster care and custody cases in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. “People conjure up the image of a drug addict, but that’s often not who it is. If you met them at the library, you would have no idea of what had happened to them.” The perception of substance abuse as a moral failing, rather than a medical issue, remains a stubborn stereotype. Research this year by Pew Charitable Trusts found that 58 percent of those surveyed believed opioid addiction was something people brought on themselves. But the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that 50 to 60 percent of addiction is due to genetics. In fact, the children of addicts are eight times more likely to develop an addiction. Also, factors like a chaotic home environment or early childhood trauma can play a role. “The idea is so ingrained in our culture that a person makes a choice to become addicted,” said Jim LaGraffe, executive director of Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services. “But the research being done on brain development is showing how far that ‘choice’ someone makes when they’re 20 may have been predetermined by something that happened when they were 3 or 4 years old.” Moreover, the seeds of the opioid epidemic were planted when doctors nationwide began increasing painkiller prescriptions in the ’90s, while pharmaceutical companies underestimated how addictive they are. The companies aggressively marketed opioids even as overdoses and deaths rose dramatically after 1999. Eighty percent of heroin users started on painkillers, according to research at Washington University in St. Louis. Many used opioid medications recreationally, but for some, the first exposure came through drugs prescribed for an injury. “How do you change the stigma? It’s not easy,” LaGraffe said. “We had ‘Just say no’ and the ‘War on drugs.’ It’s been treated as a crim-

“What makes me optimistic is that I know recovery is possible.”

inal, and not a medical issue. And it’s seen as personal failure, not that there may have been a lot of other things that led you to this point.”

‘You grieve alone’

So, addiction is still largely a private struggle; it’s one reason such a small percentage of addicts seek treatment — estimated as low as 10 percent. Getting treatment would require going public and risking the potential consequences of losing a job, being spurned and facing judgment from a doctor. “Stigma is prevalent not only on a personal level from family and friends, but also on a professional level, and that hinders people from seeking treatment because they feel they will be shamed,” said Carol Levine, a researcher for the nonprofit United Hospital Fund, who with Suzanne Brundage co-authored a report titled “The Ripple Effect: The Impact of the Opioid Epidemic on Children and Families.” “What happens is that people internalize it, so it’s not just what others think about you. It’s what you start to think about yourself. Everyone is telling you that this is your fault. “Then there’s the impact on the kids,” she added. “They often don’t want to tell other adults about what’s going on in their family. They’re afraid they’ll be taken away from their parents or separated from their siblings.” The stigma casts a wide shadow, extending beyond users to their families. And it can persist even after the person fighting addiction has died. After Culpeper librarian Dee Fleming’s son Joe overdosed on cocaine and fentanyl, a man whose daughter had died in a car accident stopped by the library to offer condolences. At one point, he said, “Doing drugs is a pretty stupid thing to do. I think this is nature’s way of weeding out the weak ones.” Fleming was stunned. “I read comments like that online all the time,” she said. “But when I heard it to my face, I thought, ‘This is what parents like me hear.’ We don’t get the casseroles brought to your door or the cards. You suffer alone. You grieve alone.”

Harm reduction

Both the use of Narcan and clean-needle exchange programs are components of what are known as “harm reduction.” It’s a public health strategy that acknowledges drug use, but focuses on minimizing its harmful effects. Critics say it implicitly condones substance abuse; they feel more comfortable with treatment based on abstinence. Stigma, not surprisingly, is at the See OPIOID, page 5

OPIOID RIPPLES

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | November 13, 2019

Opioid Ripples: What we’ve learned

OPIOID, from page 6 heart of that debate, too. Harm-reduction proponents point out that it wasn’t that long ago that government and law enforcement officials generally opposed increasing the availability of Narcan because they objected to the costs -- financial and social — of saving drug users who would likely use opioids again. But as the opioid death rate rose, opposition has waned. In fact, Narcan has become a standard tool carried by many police officers and sheriff’s deputies in Virginia’s Piedmont. REVIVE!, a free training program on proper use of Narcan, is now offered to the public. A similar shift in attitude is occurring with medication-assisted treatment (MAT), in which medications that reduce cravings -- along with behavioral therapy -- are used to treat opioid addiction. In a field where the treatment model has long been built around abstinence, MAT has been disparaged as essentially replacing one drug with another. But a 2016 report from the U.S. surgeon general’s office described it as a “highly effective treatment option.” That aligns with the belief that addiction is more a medical than a moral condition. “With opioid use, the brain is bathed in a high level of dopamine and things are not the same anymore,” said Alta DaRoo, a board-certified addiction physician in the SaVida Health office in Culpeper. “That’s very similar to when somebody makes horrible diet choices and they become obese, or they develop hypertension or diabetes. We give them medication because we recognize those as medical conditions. I hope we can convince people in the general public that addiction is a disease process.” Reducing cravings “keeps them alive and allows them to function,” said Ryan Banks, clinical services director of Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services. “I’d like people to understand that we shouldn’t be judging people because they’re staying on Suboxone or methadone if that’s what is going to allow them to be successful in their lives.” One place where MAT is making inroads is in prisons and jails, which have become the front line in the opioid crisis. Research has found that users who have been incarcerated are at their highest risk of suffering a fatal overdose in the weeks after their release. More jails, including the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center, have set up programs where recovering users can be treated with medication, particularly Vivitrol, which is generally prescribed when an inmate is leaving jail because it prevents them from getting high if they use an opioid. Since this summer, recently released inmates In Prince William County have been able to access MAT in a mobile unit that parks near the county health department in Manassas every Wednesday. They’re tested and provided with Suboxone, but also are given help to get into long-term treatment and therapy See OPIOID, page 6

58%

would not be too willing or at all willing to allow a person with an opioid addiction to marry into their family

55%

wouldn’t want to work closely on a job with a person with an opioid addiction

Opioid Ripples has been a sixmonth look into Piedmont Virginia’s opioid crisis. Here are key findings in the series: • Overdose deaths are dropping in the Piedmont, but police say it’s due more to the availability of Narcan than a drop in addiction. The epidemic is not over, and even if it were, its effects will be felt for generations. • Research has found that 50 to 60 percent of addiction is due to genetic factors. Children of addicts are eight times more likely to develop a substance addiction. • The Piedmont needs more doctors trained and certified to offer medication-assisted treatment and therapy to addicts. The trend is away from abstinence-based programs because some studies indicate they’re less effective. • The Piedmont desperately needs foster families to take in children of addicted parents. At one point last year, Rappahannock County had only one foster family. • The number of Virginia babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome -- addicted to opioids —has risen steadily this decade, peaking in 2017. Culpeper, Fauquier and Orange counties had rates well above the state average of eight NAS babies per 1,000 births. The cost to hospitals of caring for NAS babies is three to four times higher than the cost of a normal birth. • The Piedmont has few treatment facilities, limited public transportation and next to no residential options for recovering addicts. In fact, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District has only one acute addiction treatment facility and still no “sober houses.” • The number of people between 18 and 30 diagnosed with hepatitis C each year has more than doubled in Virginia since 2011, largely attributable to a spike in heroin use. In recent years, the rate in Culpeper County has been at least three times higher than the state’s. • Some “harm reduction” programs, such as greater access to Narcan, have gained wide acceptance. But others, particularly efforts to set up clean-needle exchange programs, have made little progress. • Prevention needs to begin at early ages, experts say. In a 2017 survey in Culpeper, 12 percent of high school seniors said they had tried pain medications without prescriptions. Some local schools are now teaching coping skills and proper use of medicines beginning with elementary pupils. • Safe disposal of unused opioids is needed. Nationally, 60 percent of those who said they misused opioids didn’t have a prescription; half got the drugs from friends or relatives. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, Culpeper Police Department, Orange Police Department and Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office now allow people to drop off unused drugs anytime. – Randy Rieland

OPIOID RIPPLES

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | November 13, 2019

The stubborn stigma of addiction OPIOID, from page 7 programs. Yet some who have taken advantage of the service admit that they’re wary about doing so. “They feel there’s a stigma with them going into that van,” said Lambert. “They’re afraid police officers and parole officers are going to see them. The staff in the unit has had to work very hard to convince them that the stigma is going away and everyone is on board with this.”

Few yeses to needle exchange

Fleming said she has also become a believer in clean-needle exchange programs, as many pill takers switch to using syringes. “I never thought I’d say that,” she conceded. But then a friend of her son’s stopped by her house. He said he was dating a woman who was an active addict, and she had learned she was positive for hepatitis C. He said he wasn’t injecting drugs, but had contracted hepatitis C from her. “Hearing that story about how it was affecting people who aren’t even using changed my mind,” Fleming said. Clean-needle exchange programs haven’t made much progress in the Piedmont, or in most of the state, for that matter. In 2017, the Virginia General Assembly passed a law permitting cities and counties to set up programs where people could trade in used syringes for clean ones. The impetus was a dramatic spike in new hepatitis C cases, especially among 18 to 30 year olds. The number was two and a half times higher in 2017 than it had been in 2011, a direct result of drug users sharing needles. The shift to needle use is reflected in overdose deaths. Prescription opioids were the leading cause of overdose deaths in Virginia until 2015, when deaths from both heroin and synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, went ahead, according to state health officials. The state Department of Health authorized needle exchanges in 55 communities where the rise in hepatitis C cases has been particularly alarming, including three in this region — Fauquier, Culpeper and Orange counties. Overall, the rate of hepatitis C in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District (Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock) jumped 330 percent for that age group between 2013 and 2017. So far, however, only three communities in the state have functioning needle exchange programs — the city of Richmond, and Wise and Smyth counties in southwest Virginia. Roanoke is about to launch one. The reason for the slow response is that the legislation requires local governments and law enforcement agencies to sign off on opening a needle exchange, and they’ve largely resisted.

Voters back bond referendums by large margin By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William voters overwhelmingly approved two bond referendums on the ballot Nov. 5 that will give county leaders the green light to borrow up to $396 million for road and parks projects over the next 10 years. The two bond referendums were controversial among the candidates running for local offices, and neither received the full support of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors when it voted in June to place them on the November ballot. But that did not appear to have made a difference on Election Day. With 94 precincts reporting, more than 73% of Prince William voters cast ballots in favor of the $355 million road bond referendum, while 64.5% gave their blessing to borrowing $41 million to improve county parks, according to unofficial election results. The vote does not mean the money will be borrowed immediately. The newly-elected Prince William County Board of Supervisors will decide when to move forward with the projects and how. The road bond referendum included $200 million for improvements to Va. 28. But county leaders are still awaiting the results of an environmental assessment to determine

whether they can move forward with a planned bypass for Va. 28. If that idea is nixed, county transportation planners say they will proceed with a plan to widen Va. 28 from four lanes to six lanes through Manassas and Manassas Park. Both projects are pegged to cost nearly $300 million. The county would have to cobble the remaining funds together with the help of state or federal grants or by dedicating more local tax money to the improvements. Other transportation projects targeted for bond funding include: • Devlin Road widening: A $50 million project to widen Devlin Road to four lanes from Linton Hall Road to Wellington Road, a total of 1.8 miles. The project would take four to six years to complete. • Intersection upgrade at Prince William Parkway and Minnieville Road: A $70 million “SPUI,” or single-point urban interchange, for the busy intersection at Minnieville Road and Prince William Parkway. Engineers have proposed that Prince William Parkway would be taken underground, while Minnieville Road would travel atop the intersection. The project would take four to six years to complete. • Intersection upgrade at Old Bridge Road and Gordon Boulevard: A $15 million “flyover”

ramp from Va. 123 and Interstate 95 to Old Bridge Road. The project would take three to five years to complete. • Summit School Road extension: A four-lane extension of Summit Road would connect it to Caton Hill Road, providing better access to the Horner Road commuter lot. The project would cost $20 million and take three to four years to complete. The five outdoor park improvements included in the bond are: • Howison Park improvements: $6 million for trails, spectator seating, fitness equipment, a comfort station, additional parking and better access for people with disabilities at Howison Park, located near Spriggs and Minnieville roads. The park is the home base for the Prince William Soccer Incorporated, one of the largest private youth soccer leagues in the county. • New Neabsco park: A new “amenity-rich,” $6 million park for the Neabsco District. The park could include a “dynamic playground,” a climbing wall, hill slides, a “skating ribbon,” and other features. It would take three years to complete, according to a county presentation. • Fuller Heights expansion: Two additional fields and extra parking are among the improvements proposed in a $6 million expansion of

Fuller Heights Park near Triangle. The project would take three years to complete. • Hellwig Park: $3 million for new athletic turf fields at this Independent Hill area park. • Trails and open space: $20 million in borrowing would be pegged to improve the county’s trail network with a focus on four specific projects: the Broad Run trail, the Neabsco Greenway, the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail and the Occoquan Greenway. The bonds passed despite the lack of any organized support from community groups. The Prince William County Chamber of Commerce threw its support behind the road bond, promoting it mostly with social media posts. The chamber issued a statement Thursday claiming victory on the road bond measure. “This is a monumental victory for the County! Throughout this campaign we have said that this is a now or never moment. Our focus was to educate and turnout voters from all political affiliations to support this measure. The result of today’s election tells us that we were successful in that endeavor,” Ross Snare, the chamber’s director of communications and government affairs said in a statement.

FROM PAGE 1/PUBLIC SAFETY

Nonprofit takes ownership of Times newspapers NONPROFIT, from page 1 This week, after more than three years of hands-on experience publishing award-winning newspapers, the paper’s investors, under President Landon Butler’s leadership, have agreed to a major structural change that will better position us to weather the storms that continue to ravage community journalism. In brief, the newspaper’s owners have approved the transfer of ownership to the Piedmont Journalism Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization created last year to support community journalism in our area. This change is consistent with strategies being employed by publications both large and small all over the country as they seek to strengthen their financial position and generate greater community involvement in preserving and improving local journalism. We believe this move will improve

the financial stability of the paper, as it will enable the foundation to seek charitable funding from local individuals and local and national foundations for the work of the paper. The foundation in the last year has already financed in-depth journalism on two local subjects -- the regional opioid crisis and broadband and cellular service in Fauquier County – and now will be more directly able to support the papers’ journalism efforts. This completes the transition begun three years ago from a paper owned by one individual to a true community paper, owned and operated for the public good of the counties’ residents. We believe this is an exciting change with much promise for the future and look forward to partnering with you — our readers — to make the paper even better than it already is. Next week’s edition will carry a more detailed report on the Piedmont Journalism Foundation and the reasoning behind this transition of ownership. Reach Catherine Nelson at cnelson@fauquier.com

POLICE BRIEFS 17-year-old Woodbridge girl fatally stabbed, 2 charged Two adults were charged Nov. 6 in the stabbing death of a 17-yearold Woodbridge girl, whom police have not identified. The teen girl was one of three people stabbed during a fight Tuesday, Nov. 5, in the area of Robinson Court and Harrison Street in Woodbridge, Prince William County Police Sgt. Jonathan Perok said in a news release. The teen was taken to an area hospital where she died of her injuries. The two adult victims were taken to an area hospital and are expected to survive their injuries, Perok said.

Two suspects fled the scene but were quickly identified and apprehended at a residence on Brentwood Court, police said. Jennifer Janeth Mejia-Recillas, 19, and Enrique Miguel Stock, 20, both of the 14400 block of Brentwood Court, were taken into police custody. Mejia-Recillas was charged with one count of murder and two counts of aggravated malicious wounding in connection with the incidents, while Stock was charged with one count of accessory after the fact and two counts of assault and battery. Both were held without bond.

Manassas ice cream shop robbed at gunpoint Police are searching for man who robbed the La Neveria Michoacana ice cream shop in Manassas at gunpoint just before 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9. Officers reported to the shop, located at 7250 Centreville Road, at 8:46 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, to investigate the robbery. An employee told police the robber brandished a handgun before demanding money, according to Sgt. Jonathan Per-

ok, spokesman for Prince William County police. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing on foot. No injuries were reported. Police are looking for a white man, unknown age, between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet tall, 165 pounds with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a dark shirt over his face, black jacket, black pants and white shoes, police said.

Online sale ends with laptop robbery in Dumfries Police are looking for a man who agreed to purchase a laptop from a man and his son online but fled with the device during the planned exchange Sunday in Dumfries. Prince William County police responded to the 3400 block of Belleplain Court in Dumfries to investigate the robbery at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10. The victim, a 45-year-old man, said he and his son made arrangements to sell a laptop via the app “Let Go,” according to Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department. The parties met in front of a

home on Belleplain Court. During the encounter, the prospective buyer pushed the victim and grabbed the laptop before fleeing on foot. The man implied he had a weapon and got into a four-door sedan parked nearby, Perok said in a news release. The suspect vehicle fled the area at a high rate of speed towards U.S. 1. No injuries were reported. Police are looking for a black man between the ages of 18 and 22, about 6 feet tall with a thin build and short, dark hair. He was last seen wearing a dark-color hooded sweatshirt, light color sweatpants and black and white shoes, the release said.

PATRIOT’S VOLLEYBALL SEASON ENDS AFTER HUGE UPSET WIN

The eighth-seeded Pioneers played their final match in the Class 6 Region B semifinals Thursday, losing to No. 5 Massaponax after they toppled No. 1 Colgan in the quarterfinals. “We played up to our full potential,” Patriot coach Katie Swanson said before finishing with a 12-11 record.

Class 6 Battlefield wins first title in team history, Class 3 Brentsville claims third By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

There may have been a special element in the air of Brentsville’s gym last week. Two competition cheer teams practiced there Tuesday. Then they both won state championships Saturday at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Siegel Center in Richmond. The Battlefield Bobcats practiced

on Brentsville’s mats because an election polling place took over their own gym in Haymarket for the day, but that displacement didn’t keep them from winning the first state title in program history by beating runner-up Chantilly 264.5-252 in the Class 6 competition. And the Tigers, naturally, practiced in their own Nokesville gym before winning the third state championship in program history by beating runner-up

Cave Springs 264-259.5 in the Class 3 competition. So two Prince William County teams pulled off the rare feat of each winning a title on the same day. “Being able to share this with them was amazing,” Brentsville coach Taryn Witt said of the Bobcats. “It’s awesome getting to cheer each other on. … We were just so super excited for them.” See STATE, page 12

End of win streak 40-fies Battlefield en route to 1st state volleyball bid By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Second-year coach Abby Mills will lead Battlefield into the Class 6 state quarterfinals Nov. 16.

The number “2” wasn’t quite as photogenic as “40” on Thursday, but it was exactly what the Battlefield Bobcats needed to earn their first state berth in volleyball history. About 15 minutes after they beat Colonial Forge 3-1 in the semifinals of the Class 6 Region B tournament, the Bobcats gathered at the north end of their gym to pose with a poster board cutout of “40”. That represented the incredible number of consecutive sets won by Battlefield. It was a nice commemoration, but the Bobcats actually left that gym with only a two-set winning streak because the Eagles beat them in the

second set Thursday after Battlefield entered the evening with a 39-set winning streak. That rare loss, however, seemed to galvanize the Bobcats. They responded by dominating the third and fourth sets for a 25-20, 21-25, 25-16, 25-15 victory. “I think it made us fired up,” Battlefield outside hitter Julianna Quintero said. “It made me want to show who we are. … We wanted to crush their hope.” Second-seeded Battlefield (18-2) did, in fact, end the season for No. 3 Colonial Forge (23-7) and advance to play Tuesday (after Times deadlines) in the region final against No. 4 Massaponax, which defeated No. 8 Patriot in the semifinals. See BOBCATS, page 12

“On fire” Quintero amasses 24 kills for Battlefield Narrow losses in 2018 motivated Tigers, Bobcats BOBCATS, from page 11 More importantly, the Bobcats qualified for the state tournament for the first time since the school opened in 2004. That seemed especially special for Battlefield’s lone senior, setter Kat Jenks. “It’s nice to finish out with a bang, really making history for our school,” she said. “We have potential to do amazing; potential to go all the way. To see that being reached would be amazing.” The Bobcats will begin state play Nov. 16 with a match in the Class 6 quarterfinals. They entered the region final with a 15-match winning streak even though they lost a set Thursday for the first time since Sept. 23. “I think it’s good that we lost,” Mills said. “I think we were getting a little bit in our heads [thinking] that we were untouchable. “I told them, “Forty’s a cool number,’” she said of talking in Battlefield’s huddle between the second and third sets Thursday. “I don’t think anybody’s ever going to do that

again, and that’s all that matters.” Quintero finished the night with nearly twice as many kills as any other player on the court. She amassed 24 over the four sets. “She won us that game,” Mills said. “JuJu (Quintero) brings this different kind of energy. … She’s the kind of girl that everybody feeds off of. When she’s hot, we’re hot.” Morris added 10 kills for Battlefield while Adams had nine with three each from Merom Arthur and Hanna Nelson. Yet Quintero led the Bobcats offensively in each set. “I think she’s amazing every game, but she was on fire today,” said Jenks, who finished with 41 assists. Battlefield finished with 11 aces, including four from Ella Yates, three from Morris and two from Quintero, while Arthur led the Bobcats with three blocks. “I just love playing with such an amazing team,” Quintero said. “We made history, and we’re continuing. It’s the fall sport to see – Battlefield volleyball.”

STATE, from page 11 Witt is actually a good friend of Battlefield coach Robin Burkhart. So they got a nice moment to celebrate together Saturday. “Taryn’s amazing,” Burkhart said. “She has an outstanding program. “To represent Prince William County with two teams is pretty impressive,” Burkhart said. “We’ve always supported each other.” Brentsville won the Class 3 title by avenging a 2018 loss to Cave Springs. The Knights won the state championship last season by a mere one point over the runner-up Tigers, 273.5-272.5. “From the day after that state [meet] they were determined to come back and win it,” Witt said. “We had a theme this year of ‘Plus One’ because we just wanted that one extra point.” “Cave springs is a super-talented team,” Witt said. “We respect each other completely.” The Tigers have made a habit of winning a state title every six years.

They last won the Class 3A championship in 2013 after winning the 2007 Group AA state championship. “Just an amazing feeling,” Witt said. “It’s just an honor. “It’s a lot of hard work,” she said. “You see these kids’ dedication every day, so being able to show their talents and be rewarded in the end is just really gratifying.” Battlefield similarly won Saturday after coming tantalizingly close to the title in 2018. They fell short by only 1.5 points last season, finishing third in Class 6 behind champion Grassfield. “That really had them focused on this year,” Burkhart said. “They put in a lot of effort; a lot of time. “It’s really special; really proud of [them],” she said. “They did a fantastic job.” With 11 seniors on their roster, the Bobcats advanced to the finals Saturday by dominating the first round by nearly 25 points. “Pretty impressive,” Burkhart said. “A lot of senior leadership was huge – girls that have been in the program for a long time.”

Woodbridge High performs ‘Rumors’ Staff Reports The Woodbridge Senior High School theater group is performing “Rumors,” Neil Simon’s madcap, slamming-door farce, Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 14-17. Set in a large home located just outside of New York in the year 1988, the play unfolds as guests arrive at a 10th anniversary dinner for Charley and Myra Brock. The ﬁrst couple, Ken and Chris Gorman, discover that one of their hosts has “accidentally” shot himself in the ear. With Charley bleeding in the bedroom, Myra is nowhere to be found and neither are the servants. Charley is the deputy mayor of New York City and, hoping to avoid a scandal,

Ken and Chris go about covering up what they assume to be the truth of the situation. As the rest of the guests arrive there are coverups, deceptions, mistaken identities and a lot of laughs. The show contains adult language and humor and is not recommended for children under 13. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults; $7 for students. The first three shows feature the main cast, while the understudy cast will perform Sunday, Nov. 17, at 3 p.m. The cast includes Audrey Evans and understudy Yasmin Kettani as Chris Gorman; Michael Plaugher and understudy Harrison Kel-

Ethel S�over V�n N�ss 1895 - 1919

Ethel Stover Van Ness left this life 100 years ago on November 23, 1919. She was born at Broad Run, VA, in 1895. She was raised at her family home at Little Georgetown; the home still stands today, near the site of the Stover Mill. She was one of the youngest members of the large Stover family. She grew up and went off to war as a civilian administrative worker in Washington, D.C., due to the increase of business activity caused by the First World War. There she met her husband, Harper Elliott Van Ness, a U.S. Army Sergeant from Missouri. They were married in Washington on October 14, 1918. Sgt. Van Ness was reassigned to Kansas at the conclusion of the war. They moved to Kansas, and their son H.E. Van Ness Jr. was born on July 2, 1919. As the couple and newborn son seemed about to begin life as a family, tragedy struck. Ethel became ill four months after the birth of their child. In ten swift days she was gone at the age of 24. She lies buried in the hometown of her husband, Mexico, Missouri. Her son would grow up to have a successful career in the U.S Navy. He married Sue Anderson and they raised their own family. Two of Ethel’s grandsons live in the Piedmont today. She is not forgotten by her descendants. We wish we could have known her. Her photographs and comments of those who knew her make us believe she was an engaging and kind person. She gave us life and her memory lives on with us. May she rest in peace.

Margie Lee Key (Beavers) of Haymarket, VA, passed away on Monday, November 4, 2019 following a decline in health over the past year. Margie was a kind hearted, giving person who was loved and adored by all who were fortunate enough to know her. Margie was born at home on October 29, 1944, near Occoquan, VA to Madeline F. and Joseph A. Beavers. She attended Osbourn City High School in Manassas, VA and grew up in the Lake Jackson/Independent Hill area. While working at the Park Shops Drive Up in Yorkshire, she met her husband, George E. Key. Together they enjoyed a life rich with family, friends, and more people we could never count. The saying “They never met a stranger” describes them perfectly. Margie was preceded in death by her husband George, daughters Patricia L. Beavers Blackwell and Pamela A. Key Townsend. Her parents, brothers George F., Julian R. and Joseph M. Beavers, and sister Sylvia M. Knight also predeceased her. She has been reunited with missed family and we are comforted knowing she is with them again. Margie is survived by her children and their spouses, Tyrone W. Key (Pam), Travis W. Key (Tracy), Audrey J. Ratcliff (Timmy) and Tammy L Adgate (Mike). She leaves 15 Grandchildren, and 9 Great Grandchildren, all of who will miss their “Mamaw” and the best pancakes this side of heaven, hot off the cast iron griddle. Her sister Senie D. Thompson, and brother Edwin L. Beavers, also  for many years. Margie loved having her home busy with family, friends, neighbors and more. It was open to anyone who needed a place to stay. She was an excellent cook, and passed down her recipes for future generations. Nothing is written down though! Comfort foods were her specialty. If you went hungry “it was your own fault”. Margie prepared many pots of chicken & dumplings, platters of fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, sausage gravy  the Washington Redskins, and Bingo. The only thing she ever disliked was oatmeal and dried beans. Though our hearts are broken, she has left us with a lifetime of memories. Rest well Mom, we got this from here. Arrangements were handled by Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street, Manassas VA 20110. A viewing was held on Friday November 8, 2019. Services were Saturday November 9, 2019, with burial at Stonewall Memory Gardens in Manassas, VA.   which is used for those in need of food, utility expenses, rent funds and other unmet needs in the local community.
