SHERIFF’S BRIEFS STAFFORD MAN JAILED FOR RECKLESS DRIVING A Stafford man faces driving charges for an incident on April 22, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman M.C. Morris Moncure said. Deltrick France Daniels, 34, of Fletcher DELTRICK Drive, was charged DANIELS with eluding police, reckless driving and failure to obey traffic lights. About 11:15 p.m., sheriff ’s Deputy C. N. Mireles was traveling south on Warrenton Road behind a light-colored sedan. As both vehicles approached the intersection at Sanford Drive, the sedan went through a red traffic light. When Mireles tried to stop the car, the driver continued onto the southbound ramp of Interstate 95. Deputy A.S. Smith joined Mireles as they kept pace with the vehicle. The sedan cut off several lanes of traffic as it maneuvered to Exit 133B from the center lane and exited onto Carl D. Silver Parkway. Once in Central Park, the driver slowed the vehicle to make a U-turn, Moncure said. The vehicle traveled back toward Route 3 and resumed travel south on the interstate. The driver continued for several miles, then turned onto the grassy median at mile-marker 116.5 and deputies lost sight of the car. The sedan’s tag returned to a residence

on Fletcher Drive, the driver was identified and warrants were obtained. On April 24 just after midnight, Mireles responded to the residence, identified the driver and made an arrest. Daniels was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail and held on no bond.

DUMFRIES RESIDENTS FACE LARCENY CHARGES IN STAFFORD An 18-ye ar-old Dumfries man and two Dumfries juveniles were arrested April 23 for vehicle larcenies occurring in Stafford’s Widewater Village, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office BARRY spokeswoman M.C. TRAMMELL Morris Moncure said. Just before 4 a.m. that day, a Widewater Village resident reported that suspicious people were going through vehicles in the area of Acadia Street and Glacier Way. The caller provided a description of three black males with backpacks, dressed in dark clothing. Morris Moncure said that Deputy J.A. Mangan entered the neighborhood on foot and saw three males matching the description. When they noticed him, they ran. One of them was taken into custody while multiple patrol units continued to search for the others. Deputy E. C. Taylor, R.T. Philippsen, Deputy R.T. Philippsen and a police dog

were part of the search team. Just before noon, Deputy B.J. Reed stopped a boy riding a bicycle in the area who told the deputy he was visiting from out of town and attended a party in Stafford the previous evening. Reed noticed that the teen was wearing sandals but his socks were wet and covered in grass. The boy was detained and a search recovered a key fob to a stolen vehicle out of Prince William County. Police recovered multiple credit cards, cash, a stolen laptop and eight cell phones on the three apprehended suspects. A 17-year-old residing on Fort Fisher Court and a 16-year-old residing on Sedgewick Place, both in Dumfries, were charged with grand larceny, possession of burglary tools, conspiracy to commit a felony, obstructing justice and resisting arrest. Both were placed in the Juvenile Detention Center. Barry Lee Trammel, 18, of Wayne Drive in Dumfries, was charged with possession of burglary tools, grand larceny, conspiracy, vehicle tampering and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail and is held on no bond.

WOODBRIDGE JUVENILE CHARGED IN STAFFORD A juvenile residing in Woodbridge was arrested in Stafford on April 21 on multiple charges after allegedly stealing a vehicle, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokes-

woman M.C. Morris Moncure said. About 2:45 a.m., a Somerset Landing resident called 911 to report people tampering with cars on Pinehurst Lane. The caller said that a van with its headlights off was traveling slowly down the street while two people with flashlights were running back and forth from the van to the parked cars. After a car alarm sounded, the people ran away. Multiple patrol units responded immediately to the area, Morris Moncure said. Deputy M.R. Flick traveled slowly through the neighborhood searching for the van and saw one with the headlights off traveling east on Masters Drive. When he tried to stop the van, it quickly spun around and sped past him. Flick chased the van as it turned left onto Persevere Drive. The van then careened into a parked SUV and pushed it some 20 feet. The van flipped on its side and slid into an oncoming patrol vehicle. The single boy in the van was not injured and was taken into custody. The Toyota van was stolen from the same neighborhood in Prince William County where the juvenile lives, Morris Moncure said. The boy was charged with eluding police, attempted malicious wounding of law enforcement, grand larceny/motor vehicle, destruction of property, trespassing and no driver’s license. He was detained at the Juvenile Detention Center. - Staff report

Changes in federal spending could affect Stafford’s economy ty’s jobs are with the federal government and many of these people commute. However, a growing number work locally and, according to various economic reports, the largest federal government employers in Stafford are at Quantico, for the Marines and other DOD organizations, as well as for the FBI, which is also a tenant organization at the Marine Corps base. The other top employers in the county (usually employing several thousand people) are the Stafford County Public Schools, GEICO, and the Stafford County government. There are also numerous government contractors, probably in the hundreds, whose sizes range from one-person operations to large-scale organizations. And that’s the problem. The federal government dominates a lot of Stafford County’s economy. Even if a business owner is distinctly private sector in its orientation, if it weren’t for federal spending in the area, it’s likely they wouldn’t have anywhere near as large a customer base. Federal spending is what took the county from a small community of 20,000 in 1980 to a substantial 139,000 in 2017. That means, as we found during sequestration, that we’re uniquely vulnerable to even modest cuts in federal spending. This makes President Trump’s recommended budget cuts, from a local economic perspective, just a bit worrisome. It’s likely that cuts in various agencies on

the Trump target list will impact local residents. On the other side of the equation, the president is proposing major increases in defense spending. That may be a partial offset, but since the increases he’s proposing are primarily for hardware, ships and aircraft for instance, as well as the number of military personnel, it may not have much impact on us. However, if you live in Hampton Roads, where they build ships, the news may be music to your ears. Years ago, no one worried that much about vacant office space in Stafford. That was mostly because we didn’t have office buildings. But now we do, and during the last half of 2016 we had a vacancy rate of 17 percent. That’s high. Prince William County, on the other hand, had a vacancy rate of 10 percent. It indicates that, temporarily at least, we’ve overbuilt when it comes to office space. I did my best to find the dark cloud I promised, but I wasn’t all that successful. Overall, Stafford’s economy is healthy. The days of relatively high unemployment, which we experienced during the Great Recession, are long gone, and generally while not growing robustly, we’re stable. Which, all in all, isn’t a bad place to be.

Give us an optimistic and encouraging economic report, and we’ll do our best to deflate your balloon as quickly as possible. It’s just what we do. However, while I will do a little balloon deflating when it comes to discussing Stafford’s economy, it’s hard to discount the area’s strong economic performance. Unemployment in the county is well below the national and statewide averages. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it’s running around 3.6 percent. At that point, unemployment is usually referred to as “frictional.” That means statistically it represents the unemployment that occurs when people are making normal job changes. Overall, the county brags that it has created 41,000 jobs. That’s an extraordinary number for a small county, and when I’ve quoted it, I’ve gotten some reader pushback from folks not altogether sure where those jobs are. They’d certainly like to know. And the problem is, that while I believe the statistic, I can’t quite answer the question either. But, I’ll do my best. Overall, about 15 percent of the coun-

Howell endorses Thomas for delegate seat TRACY BELL » BY tbell@insidenova.com

Speaker of the House Bill Howell has endorsed Robert “Bob” Thomas for the seat Howell currently holds in the General Assembly. Thomas, a Republican, currently represents the George Washington District on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, but is running for the 28th District House seat. Howell is set to retire. “I’ve had the privilege of knowing delegates from across Virginia, and I know Bob Thomas will be one of the best. Stafford County and Fredericksburg will be well served by Bob’s leadership, and I am pleased to endorse his candidacy,” said Howell in a released statement. Howell continued: “Bob served our country in the U.S. Marine Corps. He is a successful small businessman and job creator. He serves on the Stafford Board of Supervisors and was Chairman in 2016. Bob is a dedicated husband and father of eight who understands the needs of Virginia families. Thomas said he was humbled and honored to receive the support of Bill Howell and his wife, Cessie Howell. “Their support is a tremendous boost to our campaign and I deeply appreciate their help,” he said. Thomas will go up against fellow Supervisor Paul Milde, R-Aquia, and former Supervisor Susan Stimpson in the June 13 primary, seeking the Republican nomination.

BOB THOMAS Democratic candidate Joshua Cole is also seeking Howell’s seat. Milde’s campaign opened its headquarters April 22 in the Claiborne Run shopping center at 1 Jadip Lane, Suite 107, in southern Stafford. Milde’s campaign raised more contributions than all of his competitors combined in the most recent campaign finance reports, according to a Milde campaign press release. The 28th House of Delegates District is comprised of portions of Stafford and Fredericksburg. Milde’s campaign reported that he “handily outpaced all his competitors” in fundraising for the first quarter of 2017. According to the report, Milde re-

PAUL MILDE ceived $37,200 in cash contributions for the period ending March 31, ending with $52,093 cash on hand. His two Republican competitors and Democrat opponent raised $15,181 combined, ending the period with a combined cash on hand balance of $25,516, the report said. “Virginia Democrats would like nothing more than to replace Speaker Howell with one of their own,” said Milde. “With Democrat candidates challenging Republican incumbents across Virginia, the Republican nominee in the 28th District must have a proven ability to raise the funds necessary to retain this seat for our party. Milde said he knows there’s a long way

SUSAN STIMPSON to go, but he is very encouraged by his campaign’s early success. Stimpson, who has been visiting constituents in local neighborhoods, said in a Facebook post: “I don't want to knock on your door to tell you about myself. I want to knock on your door to listen about the things YOU want to happen in Richmond. Career politicians like to talk, not listen. Me? I'm no career politician. I am with you and listening is the best first step to make sure I bring YOUR voice to Richmond.” The Republican trio will participate in a debate May 6 with moderators Tom Coen and David Kerr of Central Virginia Public Broadcasting. The debate will air May 6 at 8 p.m.

Hunter posts strong season with Mary Washington lacrosse » BY DAVID DRIVER For InsideNoVa

Kaleb Hunter began playing youth soccer when he was about 6. When he was in seventh grade he was on hand when his younger brother, Jonathan, took part in a youth lacrosse tryout at Stafford High School. Kaleb Hunter was asked by coaches why he wasn’t playing lacrosse. So he decided to start playing lacrosse soon after that —and dropped soccer—and became a standout in his new sport at North Stafford High. The defensemen player completed a promising freshman season Saturday for the men’s lacrosse team at Division III Mary Washington, as the Eagles fell to powerhouse Salisbury 22-9 in the Capital Athletic Conference semifinals. “They are not a flashy team. They will beat you simply on the fact on every mistake you make,” Hunter said of Salisbury. Mary Washington had won five games in a row before the loss and ended the year 9-8 overall and 5-3 in CAC action. Hunter saw a lot of playing time this season for the Eagles, and was on the field more than all but one fellow freshman for new head coach Drew Delaney. “I wasn’t sure I would play much as a freshman,” Hunter said Monday. “My dad always told me you can always play to the best of your ability. It doesn’t matter how old you are.” Hunter played in all 17 games and had

one goal and one assist. Delaney took over for Kurt Glaeser, who was the head coach for 27 years and retired after the 2016 season. Delaney, the former head coach at Elizabethtown (PA) College, is a former assistant at Washington & Lee in Lexington and his wife, Linda, is a former lacrosse standout at Lynchburg College. “I took over and Kaleb was part of the recruiting class I inherited,” Delaney said. “We knew we had a really athletic young player, someone that would benefit from a more focused lacrosse experience you would have at the college level than high school level.” “He is a player who has a really good stick. Early on we realized he was somebody we could use,” Delaney added. “That is saying something since we have a lot of good players on defense. He has had a pretty exceptional season splitting time.” Hunter looked at several schools for lacrosse, including York (PA) College, Roanoke and Division I High Point in North Carolina. He decided to stick with Mary Washington even after a coaching change. “I really like coach Delaney,” Hunter said. “He brought a new identity to the team. He said people wouldn’t expect much from us, but it was more what we would do as a team. I feel in love with Washington. He sat down and said he would use me a lot this year. It was something I was not prepared for.”

Kaleb Hunter played in all 17 games and had one goal and one assist for the University of Mary Washington. PERFECT SHOT PHOTOS

Hunter had one groundball on April 19 as Mary Washington beat Frostburg 11-9 in the first round of the playoffs. Hunter got the start on Saturday as the Eagles faced powerhouse Salisbury in the CAC semifinals. The Eagles beat Marymount of Arlington 15-10 on Senior Day in the regular-season finale April 15. Hunter is interested in international affairs with perhaps a computer science minor as he takes business classes at Mary Washington. Other North Stafford High grads with college lacrosse programs are freshman Jacob Woodard, a midfielder at Division I

Hampton; and Troy Hubbard, a freshman midfielder at Division III Shenandoah in Winchester. Hubbard played in seven of the first 15 games. Hunter’s younger brother is now a junior at North Stafford, where he has played lacrosse. They have two younger sisters and older brother, Joshua, who played football in high school and is now in the Coast Guard based in California. Hunter’s father, Kenneth, played football in high school, while his mother, Angela, played softball. David Driver can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

North Stafford’s Nana Asiedu commits to Penn State » BY DAVID FAWCETT

dfawcett@insidenova.com

In January, North Stafford High School junior Nana Asiedu announced that national champion Clemson was atop his list of schools. At the time, Penn State was still in the mix. The Nittany Lions had offered the all-state standout a year ago and continued to actively recruit him. Asiedu reciprocated the interest by taking an unofficial visit to the campus last May. But after visiting Penn State in late February for a junior day, Asiedu began to rethink his leader. By last week, the offensive tackle was certain the Nittany Lions were the school for him. North Stafford was out last week because of spring break, but Asiedu informed head coach Joe Mangano via text message Tuesday morning his plans to commit to Penn State. Everything was kept quiet until Asiedu met face to face with Nittany Lions’ head coach James Franklin Saturday in his office before the Blue-White Spring game and announced his decision. “It felt like family there,” said Mangano, who joined Asiedu and his parents in State College Saturday. “They really made an impression.”

Although Asiedu can’t sign with Penn State until his senior year, he’s steadfast in his decision. “He’s given no indication he’s wavering,” Mangano said. Asiedu, who received over 30 scholarship offers, is the second local junior to commit to Penn State, joining Hylton running back Ricky Slade. Both players are ranked among the nation’s top 100 juniors in 247Sports Composite rankings (Slade is No. 26, Asiedu No. 82). The 6-foot-6, 265-pound Asiedu is the 12th commitment for Penn State’s class of 2018, which is ranked No. 2 in the nation. Clemson’s coaches were surprised to hear Asiedu’s decision, but remained confident they could still land sophomore running back Devyn Ford, another highly coveted player from North Stafford who also has over 30 offers and is rated the No. 1 player in Virginia, the No. 2 running back in the nation and the No. 28 overall player in the nation for the class of 2019 by 247Sports. Ford attended Penn State’s spring game Saturday as well. Mangano received a text from Clemson with this message: “They said ‘We’re going to make Devyn Ford a Tiger.’”

North Stafford junior Nana Asiedu had over 30 scholarship offers.

The Virginia Department of Transportation will host a “Pardon Our Dust” public information meeting ahead of construction starting on a project to reconstruct the Exit 140 interchange on Interstate 95 and widen Route 630 (Courthouse Road) in Stafford County. Stop by between 6-8 p.m. to learn more about the project and upcoming construction impacts, and to discuss your questions and concerns with VDOT and contractor staff. A presentation will be delivered at 6:15 p.m. and will repeat at 7:15 p.m. Construction will begin in June 2017 and conclude in July 2020. The project seeks to improve travel on I-95 and along Courthouse Road. The project will reduce congestion at the interchange with a diverging diamond design and improve mobility along Courthouse Road by widening it to four lanes from I-95 to Ramoth Church Road. The project will relocate the interchange and Courthouse Road slightly to the south to intersect with Route 1 and Hospital Center Boulevard. The project will relocate and expand the commuter lot to approximately 1,000 spaces just east of I-95. For more information on the project, visit www.virginiadot.org/projects/fredericksburg.

be a good place to start.” Board members discussed, along with MBES and FES, the effects redistricting would have on Ferry Farm Elementary School as well. Of particular concern was a music room at the school being placed adjacent to the school library; however, Hirons assured the audience that regardless of the option chosen, the music room would not be near the library. Also at the meeting, the school board unanimously approved making the Spartan Oaks subdivision a walking zone within the schools system beginning in the 2017-18 school year. The subdivision includes 15 single-family homes on Spartan Road, facing Stafford Middle School. The subdivision is scheduled to be completed and built out by 2018 with no more than four middle-school and five high school students expected to be produced from the subdivision. There are no sidewalks along Spartan Lane.
