‘Constitutional county’ measure approved Board stops short of naming PWC a gunrights ‘sanctuary’

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Supervisors approved a resolution last week declaring Prince William a “constitutional county” rather than a “Second Amendment sanctuary,” removing language that would have barred local enforcement of any new state or federal gun restrictions.

After a meeting attended by an estimated 1,000 people, many wearing bright orange “Guns SAVE Lives”

stickers, the board voted after midnight Wednesday, Dec. 11 in favor of the revised resolution 6 to 2.

Supervisors Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, and Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, voting against the resolution. About 50 Virginia counties have passed related initiatives – some declaring themselves “sanctuary” counties, others using the more moderate “constitutional county” moniker -- in recent weeks.

The resolution was introduced for the first time about 12:15 a.m., after the board heard about three hours of public comment on Board Chairman Corey Stewart’s proposed “Second Amendment sanctuary” resolution, which he introduced Tuesday, Dec. 3.

‘It’s been a great run’

Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, read the full resolution aloud. It urges state and federal lawmakers to “preserve, uphold and protect” the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens but left out sections of the original resolution that stated the county’s intent not to aid federal or state agencies in enforcing measures deemed restrictive of Second Amendment rights.

After Anderson finished reading the measure, Supervisor Marty Nohe, R-Coles, clarified that the resolution did not include the word “sanctuary” and thus asked nothing out of the ordinary from local law enforcement agencies.

Supervisor Maureen Caddigan, R-Potomac, reminisced last week about her 35 years in public office, both as a county supervisor for 28 years and a school board member and chairwoman for seven. “It’s been a great run,” Caddigan said.

Board Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, said about 1,000 people attended the Dec. 10 meeting to hear debate on declaring Prince William a “Second Amendment sanctuary.” The board approved a modified resolution in a 6-2 vote.

The 2019 elections resulted in a sea change on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors that not only flipped its partisan control from Republicans to Democrats, but also ended, for now, the careers of five public servants with a collective 76 years of local government experience.

Corey Stewart, the board’s conservative and sometimes controversial chairman, will officially step down from the board on Tuesday, Dec. 31, along with Supervisors Ruth Anderson, Maureen Caddigan, Marty Nohe and Frank Principi.

Stewart and Caddigan, both Republicans, declined to run for re-election. Stewart made the call in January 2018, two months after losing his challenge to U.S. Sen.

Caddigan, R-Potomac, opted to retire after serving Prince William County for a total of 35 years, including 28 on the board of supervisors and seven on the school board.

The remaining three are departing after election losses either in the May or June primaries or in the Nov. 5 election.

Nohe, R-Coles, lost his May bid for the GOP nomination for at-large chair to John Gray, who ultimately lost to Chairman-elect Ann Wheeler, a Democrat, while Principi, D-Woodbridge, See SUPERVISORS, page 2

‘It’s been a great run’ SUPERVISORS, from page 1 lost a June primary to Supervisor-elect Margaret Franklin, also a Democrat.

Anderson, R-Occoquan, meanwhile, was defeated by Supervisor-elect Kenny Boddye (D) in the Nov. 5 contest.

The outgoing board’s last official meeting Dec. 10 was more contentious than some expected. An estimated 1,000 people, many carrying firearms, showed up to ask the county board to take a stand against proposed gun bills to be considered by Virginia General Assembly next year. The board responded by declaring Prince William a “constitutional county” but not a “Second Amendment sanctuary.”

In interviews this week, some outgoing supervisors said the tense, marathon meeting made for an unfortunate exit.

Nohe, who voted in favor of the measure said he was disappointed with the tenor of the meeting. Still, Nohe said he believes the community will remember the outgoing board for more than its final act.

“In fact, I have no concern they will remember us for that because over the years we’ve built a lot of roads and schools and made a lot of peoples’ neighborhoods better.”

Each of the departing supervisors spoke with the Prince William Times about the challenges and rewards of serving on the board and what they consider their most significant accomplishments.

Maureen Caddigan, 1991-2019

After 28 years on the board of supervisors, Caddigan has more than a few achievements to her name. But the one about which she’s perhaps most proud happened years before she was elected to the board or even appointed to the school board, where she served in the 1980s.

In fact, Caddigan said her fondest memory dates back to the mid1970s, when she was a military wife and a mother of four fighting for a new school for Montclair, which at the time had only tiny Washington-Reid Elementary School.

The county was building new schools in Lake Ridge and Dale City.

Caddigan and her neighbors wanted one of them for Montclair. Caddigan championed the effort and managed to persuade Montclair’s then-developer to donate land, which proved a game-changer.

Caddigan attended key school board meetings, presented the deed and argued Montclair’s case. In the end, she won. The school board decided one of the new schools would become Pattie Elementary, which opened in 1978.

In response to her victory, a former school administrator made a prescient statement.

“He said, Mrs. Caddigan, after this big coup, you can run for anything in this county,” she recalled with a laugh. “And so that was it.”

Caddigan went on to lead an effort to pass a bond to build Potomac High School, which opened in 1981, and then was appointed to the school board and eventually elected chairwoman. In

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | December 18, 2019

1991, she ran for supervisor, but only because her daughter was applying to be a teacher, Caddigan said.

“I never planned to do that. I was on the school board, and that’s what I loved,” she added.

Caddigan went on to be re-elected three times. More than 40 schools were built during her time on the board, including two more in Montclair.

Caddigan also played a key role in persuading the National Marine Corps Museum to open on county-donated land in Prince William (its organizers had their sights set on Stafford) and negotiated a deal between a developer to donate land for what would become Prince William County’s first Catholic high school: St. John Paul the Great.

“It’s been great. It’s been a great run,” Caddigan said. “I met a lot of wonderful people.”

Caddigan said she’s looking forward to taking a break and spending time with her husband, Jim, and their family, which includes five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

“I wish for Ann Wheeler the best,” Caddigan said. “She’s a good person. She will be fair.”

Marty Nohe, 2003-2019

Nohe served on the board for 16 years but wore two important hats for much of that time: that of both supervisor and chairman of the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, which doles out state funding for new road and transit projects throughout the region.

The NVTA has been allocating about $270 million a year for such efforts. During Nohe’s time as NVTA chairman, about $800 million in NVTA money has been directed toward Prince William County for past and future projects.

Nohe said he hopes to be remembered not only for helping address the region’s most vexing traffic problems but also for helping build the NVTA into a well-run organization.

“We’re actually putting real solutions on the ground, and I’ve gotten to be the public face of that in the last 11 years,” Nohe said. “I’ve gotten to work with some really extraordinary people.”

Regarding his work as Coles District supervisor, Nohe said he’s most proud of opening Dove’s Landing, a 300-acre, passive-use park with trails for hikers and horseback-riders, and of launching the county’s first yearround farmers market in Dale City.

What he’ll miss most about the job, he said, is having the opportunity to help solve people’s problems, both big and small.

“What I will miss is the part where I get to do small things that help my neighbors in big ways and that might mean funding a highway, and it might mean getting someone signed up for addiction treatment. That part of the job, I would have done for free for the rest of my life,” he said.

Now Nohe, who is president of his family’s business, Appliance Connection, in Woodbridge, says he has no immediate plans to run for office but is looking for another challenge that will allow him to use his expertise in local government.

“Once you get involved in doing good work, there’s always more to

be done.” he said.

Corey Stewart, 2003-2019

Stewart gave a farewell address at the Dec. 10 meeting in which he extolled the successes of the board during his tenure, including the county’s many new schools, miles of new roadways and the growth of its public safety departments and assets.

As chairman, Stewart presided over the construction about two dozen new schools, more than $1 billion in road projects and an increase in the number of police, fire and other public safety personnel. At the same time, the county’s crime rate dropped about 35%.

Stewart said biggest challenge he faced on the board was keeping tax bills low while building the infrastructure necessary to keep up with the county’s population growth, which has ballooned over the last two decades, adding more than 200,000 new residents.

“The new board will be tasked with providing services, constructing infrastructure and implementing the commonsense land-use policies necessary to keep pace with that growth,” he said.

Stewart said he doesn’t have any plans to run for office “anytime soon, if ever.”

“I will remain a resident of the county and a citizen. I’m hoping the next board does well and I’m going to support them in any way I can,” Stewart said.

Frank Principi, 2007-2019

Before Principi was elected he ran a crisis management firm and had previously worked on such efforts as the 2005 recovery from the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that claimed more than 200,000 lives in 14 countries. So when he joined the board in 2008, in the midst of the Great Depression, Principi said he hoped he was ready to help the county recover from the worst economies in decades.

“We had one of the worst home-foreclosure markets in the country. We had people losing their jobs left and right.” Principi said.

“We had whole streets and whole cul-de-sacs that were ghost towns, where the grass was 6 feet tall.”

As supervisor, Principi’s chief goal was to remake the Woodbridge District into a urban center, which he calls “The New Woodbridge.” He helped secure more than $1.7 billion in public and private investment in the

district, including the ongoing widening of U.S. 1 and six new bridges, as well as improvements in schools and parks. Principi also championed the idea of launching a “fast ferry” to carry commuters to points in Washington, D.C. via the Potomac River.

Also among his accomplishments, Principi lists the new Neabsco Regional Park, to include its new $4 million boardwalk.

Principi had hoped to be re-elected to a fourth term but lost the June primary by 197 votes to Franklin, a fellow Democrat.

“I’m sad. I’ll miss it,” Principi said of leaving the board. “I’m going to miss the people I interact with on a professional level. Sad is a good way to put it.”

Since Sept. 1, Principi has been working part-time for the National Academy of Public Administrators.

He hasn’t ruled out a future run for office and is still looking for his next opportunity.

“I’d love for it to be in Prince William. I’d love for it to be a nonprofit, mission-based, mission driven. I’m looking for my next crisis,” he said with a smile.

Ruth Anderson, 2015-2019

Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, was elected in 2015. She is a registered nurse and retired U.S. Air Force veteran.

Anderson said her top priority as supervisor was economic development, especially for the east end of the county. As supervisor, Anderson pushed for additional resources for small business development in the county.

“The people that live here in Prince William County want the best schools, they want the best roads, but we have to have more revenue coming in to have those things,” Anderson said.

Anderson said her only regret is that she wasn’t able to do more for volunteer firefighters. Anderson said she worries recent changes to the fireand-rescue department chains of command, which place volunteers under the supervision of the county’s professional fire chief, could reduce the number of volunteers.

“I feel like we could have done more to retain their benefit to the county,” Anderson said.

Anderson said she has no plans to run for office again but will stay active by working on local political campaigns in the future.

tion, introduced by at-large Chairman Corey Stewart before the meeting, would have restricted the use of county funds to enforce any new federal and state gun laws.

Stewart introduced the modified resolution to declare the county a “constitutional county” at about 12:15 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, at the end of a marathon board meeting that attracted about 1,000 people. About 70 people spoke in favor of the original resolution, while five spoke against it.

Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, who was defeated by Boddye in the Nov. 5 election, said the day before the vote she would not support a “sanctuary” resolution that could confuse the role of local law-enforcement as to whether new gun regulations would be enforced.

After the vote, Supervisors Maureen Caddigan, R-Potomac, and Marty Nohe, R-Coles, said they also would not have supported a “sanctuary” resolution. Their “no” votes, along with those of Supervisors

Stewart said the version the board approved omitted the word “sanctuary” because concerns about possible confusion with the concept of “sanctuary” cities and counties that don’t cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

Still, Stewart downplayed the wording change after the vote, saying: “It’s almost identical in terms of its effect.”

Stewart further downplayed the wording switch on Facebook. When some commenters questioned how Prince William’s “constitutional county” resolution differed from those declaring localities “Second Amendment sanctuaries,” Stewart said there isn’t much difference.

“The message is key. Don’t get hung up on the variations in the wording of the resolutions. We’re on a roll. Keep it going,” Stewart said in his post.

Supervisors OK new data center beside battlefield Board backs rezoning despite concerns about power

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors this week approved the rezoning of 153 acres of agricultural land beside Manassas National Battlefield Park in Gainesville for a proposed 3-million-squarefoot data center despite concerns that the project will require the construction of a new transmission line.

The board approved the rezoning for the Gainesville Crossing project 7-1 with only Supervisor Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, voting against the measure. The new data center will be located adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park next to Interstate 66.

County staff said a new transmission line will not be necessary for the project based on reassurances from Dominion Energy. However, a letter from Dominion Energy to the county didn’t offer a firm answer about whether a new transmission line would be needed in the future.

The letter, authored by Dominion Energy engineer Harrison Potter and included in the agenda packet, states that the existing infrastructure has “sufficient capacity to support the plan.” But it goes on to say that “neither the county nor others

The yellow line shows the outline of the 153 acres rezoned to accommodate a new data center. The property between U.S. 29 and Interstate 66, adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield Park. should read any absolutes into this response.”

“This response should not be read to suggest that such infrastructure, even in the vicinity of the proposed project, will not be necessary in the future,” Potter wrote.

The letter adds that: “If a new, large load customer located in or near the area of the project, such load, combined with the existing load in the area, could drive the need for additional transmission infrastructure.”

Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, said

he was assured by Dominion Energy experts that a new line would not be necessary. But Candland expressed frustration over Dominion Energy’s “slippery” language.

“I’ve spent a lot of time over the last several weeks talking with Dominion about what the impacts of this project was going to be,” Candland said.

Candland ultimately voted in favor of the measure but acknowledged the power company had not given him a definitive answer.

“They’re very clear that they’re never going to say never,” Candland said. “If this board of supervisors continues to approve housing developments and data centers, eventually new transmission lines will be built. That’s part of being a growing community.”

Principi voted against the measure, saying he would prefer to delay approval of the project until it receives further study.

“Based on the last several years of lawsuits between this board and Dominion, I’m not ready to take Dominion at its word,” Principi said.

Several county residents asked supervisors not to approve the rezoning at the Tuesday, Dec. 10 meeting. Bob Weir, a member of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, asked the board not to approve the project until the county is certain no new transmission lines would be needed.

Wheeler, new supervisors respond to ‘constitutional county’ label WHEELER, from page 3

An artist’s rendering of the possible layout of commercial and retail buildings that could be built next to the Interstate 66 commuter lot as part of the rezoning the Prince William County Board of Supervisors approved Dec. 10.

Supervisors OK new data center beside battlefield DATA CENTER, from page 3 “We may be putting the cart before the horse with regard to how much power is going to be needed,” Weir said.

The Coalition to Protect Prince William County was involved in a years-long fight to stop the construction of a transmission line from being built in Haymarket that resulted in the use of a hybrid line that is planned to run underneath the town. The new line is slated for completion in 2021.

The developers of the Gainesville Crossing project, Buchanan Partners,

said the project is well suited for the area because of its close proximity to four existing transmission lines and the planned Haymarket line, which will run across the property.

The project will likely develop over 15 to 20 years and will have an electrical substation on the property, according to the Russ Gestl, principal of Buchanan Partners. Gestl said the anticipated real estate assessment of the development will be between $2.5 billion and $3 billion when the project is complete.

The rezoning also includes plans for new retail and commercial space adjacent to a 2,000-car commuter lot under construction on University Boulevard.

Manassas Battlefield National Park has not objected to the project. Buchanan Partners agreed to plant 300 trees as a buffer to protect the park’s viewshed.

In an email, Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizen’s Defense League, said in his opinion, the resolution makes Prince William County a “Second Amendment sanctuary” but added that it is “a weak one.”

Cozy Bailey, president of the Prince William NAACP, sent a letter to members of the organization after the vote to try to clear up confusion stemming from inaccurate news reports saying Prince William’s board approved a gun “sanctuary” resolution.

In his letter, Bailey explained the resolution did not include the word

“sanctuary” and made no mention of the county not complying with any new gun safety measures should they pass.

In an interview, Bailey said the board’s action was a “nothing-burger.”

“It’s real intent was to incite emotion among people who are very concerned about their right to bear arms. Unfortunately, it appears it was very successful at that,” Bailey said.

Bailey is the husband of Supervisor-Elect Andrea Bailey, a Democrat who will represent the Potomac District on the board of supervisors in January.

‘Constitutional county’ measure approved Gun-rights proponents watched from the atrium of the Prince William County McCoart Administration building after midnight Wednesday as Supervisor Ruth Anderson, R-Occoquan, read aloud a revised resolution declaring Prince William a “constitutional county” but not a “Second Amendment sanctuary.”

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JILL PALERMO

SANCTUARY, from page 1 “I don’t see in this anything declaring us a ‘sanctuary county,’” Nohe said.

In an interview after the vote, Stewart, R-At Large, said the original resolution was modified to remove the word “sanctuary,” which would imply that the county police would not enforce measures deemed unconstitutional.

Stewart said the resolution was changed after consulting with the county police department and county staff to remove language considered problematic. As an example, Stewart said the “model resolution” promoted by gun-rights groups asked counties to pay for the legal representation for residents who refused to comply with restrictions on firearms.

Still, Stewart downplayed the change. “It’s almost identical in terms of its effect,” Stewart said of the measure.

Despite the modifications, Angry said he could not support the resolution because it did not offer any remedies for gun violence or offer ideas to promote gun safety.

“I believe in my Second Amendment rights, but I was elected to serve all the people,” Angry said in an interview after the meeting. “…

What we have to do is get people together to find solutions.”

Speakers urge board action

More than 70 county residents lined up to ask the board to declare Prince William a “Second Amendment sanctuary,” saying gun reforms proposed by state lawmakers ahead of the 2020 General Assembly session,

such as universal background checks, extreme risk protective orders and a ban on assault weapons, would violate their constitutional rights.

Nokesville resident Paul Fraser spoke in support of the sanctuary resolution, saying “there would be hundreds of future felons in the room” if the General Assembly passes legislation banning assault-style weapons in Virginia.

George Dodge, a resident of the Coles District, said the sanctuary resolution would “show the current board respects the U.S. Constitution,” even though the next board could overturn it when they take office in January.

Two Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, Mary Knapp and Thomas Speciale, urged the board to adopt the sanctuary resolution. Both are running against Virginia Sen. Mark Warner (D) in the 2020 election.

Just five county residents spoke against the resolution.

Supervisor-elect Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, who will take office in January 2020, also briefly spoke on the matter but didn’t say whether he would support the resolution. After the meeting, Boddye said he would need to read the revised resolution before deciding his position.

Tuesday’s meeting was the final meeting of the current board of supervisors, which has a 6-2 Republican majority. The new board of supervisors, who take office Jan. 1, will have a 5-3 Democratic majority.

Northam pitches free community college for low-income students in high-demand fields Staff Reports Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Thursday his proposed budget will include $145 million over two years to offer free community college tuition low- and middle-income students who pursue jobs in high-demand fields.

The “Get Skilled, Get a Job, Give Back” initiative, or “G3” program, would cover tuition, fees and books for eligible students at the commonwealth’s two-year public institutions.

“Everyone deserves the opportunity to get a good education and a good job, no matter who you are or how much money you have,” Northam (D) said in a Dec. 12 statement. “This is an investment in equity and our economy—by helping Virginians get the skills they need, we’re building a world-class

workforce while ensuring all Virginians can support themselves, their families, and their communities.”

The G3 program will target key industries including health care, information technology, skilled trades, public safety and early childhood education, according to the governor’s office.

Gov. Ralph Northam “With Virginia’s record low unemployment rate, businesses are hungry for skilled talent,” Chief Workforce Development Advisor Megan Healy said.

“The G3 program will help Virginia businesses of

all sizes fill open jobs, connect Virginians with the necessary training and credentials to find good-paying work, and grow the commonwealth’s economy.”

The program would require participants to sign a “community engagement agreement” and complete two hours of work experience, community service or public service for every credit hour enrolled, according to the news release.

“With rising tuition costs, many Virginians are opting out of higher education,” said Virginia Secretary of Education Atif Qarni, a former Beville Middle School teacher.

“The G3 program provides affordable, accessible workforce pathways that will prepare the Commonwealth’s students for the growing number of high need jobs that do not require a fouryear degree,” Qarni said.

RICHMOND — Nahlaa Alsilfih Alahmari and her husband, Abdullah Alahmari, are graduate students from Saudi Arabia. She is pursuing a doctorate in education at Virginia State University, and he is working toward a doctorate in media, art and text at Virginia Commonwealth University.

The couple is living in Richmond with their three children: a 9-yearold son, Muath, and daughters Ilan, 11, and Afnan, 4.

Though the family is thousands of miles from home, the Alahmaris want their children to stay connected to Saudi culture and especially the national language. So the parents speak Arabic to the children at home, and the youngsters take Arabic lessons at the Islamic Center of Richmond.

“Teaching my kids to speak in my maiden language is a very important thing to do. It is important to me as a mother and very important to the community as a whole,” Nahlaa Alahmari said. “It allows my children to feel more connected to their state of origin.”

The Alahmari family reflects the growing diversity of languages spoken in Virginia: The proportion of residents who speak a language other than English at home has risen from 14.8% in 2010 to 16.4% last year, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Approximately 7.5% of Virginia households speak Spanish, the data showed. Then come Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese, each at slightly less than 1%. Dozens of other languages are spoken in the commonwealth as well — from Hindi and German to Telugu and Russian.

Arabic speakers represent one of the fastest-growing language groups in Virginia. Since 2010, the number of Arabic speakers in the commonwealth has risen 63% to almost 60,000, according to the Census Bu-

RICHMOND -- A monumental, contemporary statue of an African American man on a horse rode into Richmond last week via truck from New York.

On Tuesday, Dec. 10, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts held the official welcoming celebration for the arrival of the statue Rumors of War, created by the artist Kehinde Wiley. The sculpture was first unveiled on Sept.

27 in Times Square in New York City, and was on display on Broadway Plaza. Now the monument will permanently remain in Richmond.

Rumors of War is Wiley’s first public sculpture. According to the VMFA, the piece commemorates African American youth.

Rumors of War features a young African American dressed in streetwear sitting on top of a horse, the pose mirroring J.E.B Stuart in Frederick Moynihan’s statue.

The museum said the statue is the artist’s response to the Confederate monuments found on Richmond’s Monument Avenue. Wiley

Wiley is most well known for his body of work that draws inspiration from classical European paintings of noblemen, but is remixed with a contemporary view. In most of his pieces, including potraits of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, he portrays young African American men and women in defiant poses wearing modern clothing in front of colorful backgrounds.

The statue is made of bronze with a stone pedestal. The entire monument is over 27 feet tall, 15 feet wide and 25 feet long. The VMFA purchased the sculpture with money from private donors, according to the museum’s website. The museum is located at 200 N. Arthur Ashe Blvd.

OPINION

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | December 18, 2019

Letters to the Editor

Outgoing chair misled, fomented division with gun resolution Last night Tuesday, Dec. 10, the outgoing chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors engineered a farce (or maybe I should say hoax) on a grand scale.

He misled the citizens of Prince William County into believing that he would bring to the board a resolution that this county would not abide by any possible legislation that in his view would limit the “rights” of gun owners.

He told us all, and more importantly the media, that Prince William would join several other counties in the commonwealth as a second Amendment “sanctuary.”

He carefully worded his initial draft of the resolution, safely avoiding a statement that Prince William County would defy any properly approved legislation at the federal or state level.

After successfully stirring up the passions of our community and bringing media attention to himself, he acknowledged that his originally drafted resolution would not receive enough votes to pass. At least one incumbent supervisor stated publicly that she would not vote for the original draft; two others were known to have concerns with its wording.

So, after creating a circus atmosphere at our county’s seat of government, fomenting division in our community in a way that he has become infamous for, and modifying the original resolution, around

midnight last Wednesday, the board passed a resolution by a vote of 6-2 that says essentially, “the Prince William Board of County Supervisors supports the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”

It is important to note that the inflammatory word “sanctuary” does not appear in the document that was approved.

Also, it was heavily edited to concede that the board has no authority to enforce or not enforce federal or state laws. That responsibility lies primarily with the PWC Police Department, the Prince William Sheriff’s Office, and the Prince William Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office.

So, the result is much ado about nothing … almost.

One person’s ability to create the havoc we have seen, not just during the past few weeks but throughout his 16 years as chair of the county board, is at once disheartening and enraging. The ability of a single person to foment community division instead of unity means that we must work just as hard to create a sense of community convergence despite our racial, ethnic, or ideological diversity.

Trump’s reaction to Thunberg winning ‘person of the year’ telling Congratulations to Ms. Greta Thunberg for being selected as Time magazine’s 2019 “Person of the Year.” She is a person of action and hope as we all struggle to right the wrongs we have perpetuated upon our planet.

This being said, it is outrageous that the person who sits in the Oval Office cannot bring himself to recognize the achievements of this 16-year-old whose sole goal is to save not only the planet but also everyone who lives here. My take on this is that he is outraged and jealous that he was not selected to grace the cover. Oh please!

When are we, as Americans, going to have the benefit of not having such

a person supposedly represent us?

Hopefully, the next 11 months will energize us all to see this person for who he truly is, i.e. someone who attempts to overturn regulations that have done much to preserve the planet. His egregious policies, which spring from his own ego, violate the tenants of spiritual values, whether one be Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Native American, Wiccan or other religions, which all demand that we live in harmony with Mother Nature; otherwise, we and our children are doomed.

County should consider solar on government buildings Time to take a hard look at solar energy for government buildings.

Fairfax County just signed some contracts Dec. 10 with installers to put solar photovoltaic panels on 113 government buildings and in the parks.

This move should yield $60 million in savings over the life of the

contracts. This action was accomplished via a Power Purchase Agreement, which other counties can copy.

Clean energy is attractive when you look at the cost savings and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

New additions brighten Zoo Lights PHOTO BY HEATHER KIM/CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE

Visitors pass under the entrance to Zoolights, the annual holiday light festival at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.

By Julianne Heberlein Capital News Service

Each holiday season since 2007, after the animals go to sleep, the rest of the Smithsonian National Zoo comes to life as a colorful winter wonderland.

More than half a million LED lights are transforming the zoo’s grounds into a bright holiday celebration this year, complete with a new outdoor art installation, 3D glowing animal sculptures, a laser light show and a virtual experience featuring the zoo’s pandas.

The ZooLights display started 13 years ago to increase foot traffic during the zoo’s off-season, zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson said.

“Because we’re so weather dependent, we

wanted to have a special community-focused event,” Baker-Masson said. “ZooLights seemed to be the perfect answer and it has been.”

On a recent Wednesday evening, families and couples stopped to take in the glow of the new animal-shaped lanterns lining the central walkway as the warm, sweet smell of funnel cake wafted through the crisp air. A pair of monkeys, a flock of flamingos, a group of cheetahs, a family of lions, a couple of pandas and a herd of zebras, among other animal shapes, illuminated the grounds.

Rebecca Hankins, a Washington resident, attended ZooLights for the first time in 2016. This year, she came back with a friend to take in the new attractions.

“The animal lanterns were really cool,” Hankins

Prince William Times | December 18, 2019

said. “The new additions made (ZooLights) more interactive for kids and friends this year.”

The immersive outdoor art installation, “Entre Les Rangs,” located adjacent to the zoo’s lion and tiger exhibit, becomes a walkable, wheat-like field of light. On a recent visit, visitors strolled through hundreds of glowing crystalline reflectors as they swayed with the wind.

A laser light show dances along to Christmas carols such as “Walking in a Winter Wonderland,” with animations of animal characters, including rabbits, ostriches and songbirds, projected on the side of the Elephant Community Center. “[ZooLights] just keeps getting bigger and bigger with LED lights, more trees are wrapped, more decorations and more activities,” Baker-Masson said.

Aside from this year’s new additions, returning attractions include the ZooTubes slide down the hill near the lion and tiger exhibits, the Zoo Choo Choo train ride, a classic carousel and live musical performances from local groups and schools.

Sarah Heydemann and Alexandra Waters, both Washington residents, attended the light festival for the first time together this year.

“ZooLights is like a very quiet outdoor club,” Heydemann said, commenting on the lively and upbeat atmosphere.

Both of them visited the new outdoor art installation, but Waters said the light reflectors were not lighting up to their full potential.

Still, Waters said she “would definitely come back -- probably tomorrow.”

The light festival is free to the public and will be open each evening from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. until Jan. 1, except on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.

“Sometimes it’s good to take it slow.

But when I had a stroke, it was crucial I didn’t.”

Great location, many possibilities Ask the Arborist

Todd Hagadone Jr. I.S.A. Certified Arborist

FALL NEEDLE DROP Despite their name, evergreen needles do not stay green forever.

Each species of evergreen tends to keep its needles for a defined length of time. Older, inner needles discolor and drop off after one or more years, depending on the species. It is triggered by weather and other factors of the growing season, much like dormancy. This process can be very dramatic on some evergreens (i.e. white pine, arborvitae, and Hinoki cypress), making the tree look like it is dying. To determine if your tree is experiencing normal needle drop or has a foliar disease, check the location of the browning.

Normal needle drop will cause the tree to have a fairly uniform brown appearance to all the inner foliage (oldest needles). These needles will eventually drop out and the tree will look healthy again. Disease shows up in patches around the tree and the tree will still look unhealthy once the dead needles fall.If you have any questions from this article or would like to schedule a property inspection please contact me at
