Loudoun County draws ‘a hard line’ on data centers in rural land Loudoun’s economic chief discusses the effort to rein in data centers after a decade of growth
Buddy Rizer is director of the Loudoun County Department of Economic Development.

Buddy Rizer, executive director for the Loudoun County Department of Economic Development, has spent 15 years promoting Loudoun as the data center capital of the world. The effort has been successful by most measures. Since 2008, not a single day has gone by without a data center being under construction somewhere in Loudoun, according to Rizer. The industry has been a huge boon to Loudoun County, which expects to bring in $576.2 million in related tax revenue this year – approximately one-third of its local tax income. But after years of growth, Loudoun is running out of room for data centers, which some say dominate the landscape in the eastern part of the county. Some residents in Virginia’s fastest-growing county complain that the data centers are a noisy

eyesore. Last year, Loudoun’s Board of Supervisors limited construction in some neighborhoods and added new environmental and design requirements. Those restraints came on top of Dominion Energy’s surprise announcement last summer that it faced a capacity shortage in eastern Loudoun – data centers consume enormous amounts of energy – putting a potential damper on construction through at least 2025. With the Rural Policy Area in the western Loudoun off-limits to data centers, developers have shifted their focus to Prince William County, but also have their eyes on Stafford and FauLooking Back: President Taft’s tumultuous 1911 trip to Manassas, page 8

quier counties, according to Rizer. “If the data center industry itself is in the second or third inning, Loudoun County is probably in inning seven or eight for multiple reasons: the energy reasons and the land reasons, and because we want to make sure that we have land remaining for other types of businesses,” Rizer said. As developers turn to nearby counties to meet demand, the Piedmont Journalism Foundation sat down with Rizer to hear his point of view on the future of data centers in the region.

HGTV deems Manassas home ‘ugliest in America’
UGLIEST, from page 1
“It was a surprise, honestly, to actually win something like this. There were a lot of ugly houses on the show,” said Alex Merideth. “At the same time, we were excited to be on the show.” The Merideths’ realtor, Shirley Wigglesworth of RE/MAX Realty Group, said she got an email from HGTV last year and at first thought it was spam. It wasn’t. She called HGTV to confirm the information. Wigglesworth learned that HGTV had seen an online listing for the Merediths’ home when it was for sale in 2021. The Merideths bought the house in November 2021. “They felt like it was a unique property,” Wigglesworth said. HGTV asked Wigglesworth if she would contact her clients to see if they would be interested in applying for the “Ugliest House in America” show. “I had seen HGTV, and I loved the show,” she said. “I was quite surprised that I heard from them,” Wigglesworth said. “I never thought the house was ugly. Valerie [Merideth] could see past all of the angels, the paintings on the walls, the angel doorknobs. She could see it was a very, very nice house.” “I never thought we would win. I was shocked that we won. I was shocked that they even contacted us,” said Valerie Merideth. “I never thought the house was ugly, or we wouldn’t have bought it.” The family had already started

making changes to the house before HGTV got involved, removing more than 100 angels. They had painted over the mural featuring clouds and angels in the family room and removed the gold wallpaper in the master bedroom. But there were still 42 angels remaining when the makeover began. And there was so much more that needed to be done. Then, last summer, the show’s host, comedian professionally known as Retta, and HGTV designer Alison Victoria showed up. The Merideths went to an Airbnb for two months while HGTV design-
ers and contractors worked on their home. The kitchen was gutted and enlarged to include a large island. Vinyl wood flooring was put down throughout. The wallpaper, carpet, columns were all removed. Everything was repainted. The stainedglass cherub window was replaced with a stained-glass “M” for the family’s last name. The rest of the angels were removed. “I loved that all the angels are gone,” said Valerie Merideth. Victoria at first wanted to paint the exterior brick but later changed her mind, deciding instead to paint the garage doors, eaves and trim a dark blue. “Painting the house was the worst idea I had,” Victoria said on the show. Also on the show, Sheree Meredith told Victoria she didn’t think painting the brick exterior was a good idea. “Brick is supposed to be brick. I don’t like painted brick, and our driveway is also brick, so it would have been haphazard -- with a painted house and a red-brick driveway,” Sheree Meredith said recently. She was happy it didn’t happen. The family’s favorite parts of the
renovation are the kitchen and the master bathroom where the cherub medallion was removed. A large “wet room” with tub and shower were put in, instead. Valerie Merideth said the cherub medallion was her nightmare. “I didn’t like the cherubs over my head when I was bathing – those five faces looking down on you,” she said. “That was creepy. That was the worst.” Valerie Merideth said she had never seen “The Ugliest House in America” before HGTV contacted them. When the finale aired, the family had forgotten about the show and didn’t see it at first. “But, when the show aired, there were so many calls,” she said. “Then, of course, we had to go back and watch the show.” Wigglesworth watched the show when it unveiled the makeover. “The house looks fabulous. I love what they did to the house,” she said, adding that she thinks the value of the house has increased by several hundred thousand dollars. The Merideths bought the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath, 4,642-square-foot home for $675,000. Reach Aileen Streng at aileenstreng@gmail.com HOW TO REACH US

Superintendent: 4 county high schools failed to notify National Merit commended students By Jill Palermo
About National Merit Scholarship awards:
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County schools Superintendent LaTanya McDade publicly apologized this week after the school division determined that four of the county’s 13 high schools did not notify students who received letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Program last fall. In comments made during the Wednesday, Jan. 18 school board meeting, McDade blamed the misstep on “sheer human error” and said the principals and administrators at the four schools “are devastated that this was a missed opportunity to recognize their students’ accomplishments.” According to a school division inquiry conducted last week, 28 students from Battlefield, Patriot, Colgan and Forest Park high schools had not been notified that they were named commended students. All other Prince William County high schools either did not have any commended students or made the notifications in a timely manner. The school division does not know how many students throughout the county received the recognition. The school division also does not know how many students earned the award last year or whether schools notified them in a timely manner, according to Diana Gulotta, a school division spokeswoman. The National Merit Scholarship Program “does not send division-level information, and we do not have this data from previous years,” Gulotta said in an email. The awards are based on students’ scores on the PSAT, a standardized test most students take during their junior year in high school. They are not as selective as the program’s semi-finalist and finalist designations, which are announced each year in February. Because only individual high schools receive notification about the awards, McDade said that going forward, “every school” in Prince William County will have an identified staff member responsible for ensuring all students are notified of such recognitions. The school division is also reaching out to the National Merit Scholarship Program to request a review of their notification process and ask that they notify students directly – via notices sent to their homes – rather than relying on high schools to notify students, McDade said. “To date, all impacted student families have been notified, and we thank our families for their understanding,” McDade said. McDade’s comments came about a week after Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) announced a formal investigation into why Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technol-
Gun bills advance after elementary school, UVA shootings By Graham Moomaw Virginia Mercury
After a classroom shooting allegedly committed by a Virginia 6-yearold, Democrats in the state Senate advanced bills this week that would require adults to keep guns locked up if minors are in the home. A separate bill would make it illegal to have guns on state colleges and universities. Violations of the proposed gun storage law would be a low-level misdemeanor offense punishable by fines of up to $250. Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-33rd, of Loudoun, the bill’s sponsor, said she set the penalty

Commended Students
ogy, a regional magnet high school, did not notify its commended students last fall. Miyares expanded his investigation to the entire Fairfax County school division – the largest in the state – after it was discovered that other Fairfax County high schools also failed to notify students. Since then, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has announced his effort to pass a new law that would require school divisions to notify students and their parents about recognitions and awards that could help students apply for college or win scholarships. The law would apply to any awards based on students’ performance on the PSAT. Youngkin said he had asked state Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant, R-12th, of Henrico, County and Del. Nick Freitas, R-30th, of Culpeper County, to carry the bill. “The legislation … will ensure that merit and accolades are celebrated in the Commonwealth,” said Youngkin in a statement. “We will not allow our students and their parents to be left uninformed of their hard-earned recognition in what we now know was widespread across more than a dozen schools in multiple school divisions.” In a statement announcing his investigation, Miyares suggested that Fairfax County schools might have intentionally withheld the awards and said the action could be a violation of the Virginia Human Rights Act. “My office will investigate the entire Fairfax County Public Schools system to find out if any students were discriminated against, and if their rights were violated,” Miyares’ statement said. All three of the state’s largest school divisions – Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun – have since made public statements saying they have conducted internal investigations into the awards and found that some were delayed, but not intentionally. The Prince William Republican Committee issued a statement Wednesday, Jan. 18 accusing the county school division of deliberately not informing the commended students. “This is being done because these schools
low on purpose in hopes of winning some Republican support. The goal, Boysko said, is to “teach somebody instead of sending them to prison.” “It is up to us to be the adults and protect our children from harming themselves or others,” Boysko told the Senate Judiciary Committee at a hearing Monday morning. “This is a reasonable thing. It takes nobody’s Second Amendment rights away.” The committee advanced the bill on a 9-6 vote along party lines, with Republicans united against it. That outcome indicates the bill could face trouble in the GOP-controlled House of Delegates. After the vote, Boysko said she intends to add tougher penalties to the bill after the lighter touch didn’t win over any Republican senators. Boysko’s bill would also apply in homes where an adult resident is legal-
More than two-thirds, or about 34,000 of the 50,000 high scorers on the PSAT/NMSQT, receive letters of commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Commended students do not advance to the semifinalist or finalist stage.

In early September, more than 16,000 students, or approximately one-third of the 50,000 high scorers, are notified that they have qualified as semifinalists.
Finalists
In February, more than 15,000 semifinalists are notified that they have advanced to finalist standing. High school principals are also notified and provided with a certificate of merit to present to each finalist.

have placed equality of outcome over individual achievement in education. This is a policy that is unfair to all students and is particularly harmful to Asian American students,” Committee Chairman Denny Daugherty said in a statement posted on the committee’s Facebook page. But Prince William County School Board Chairman Babur Lateef (At Large), who is of Asian descent and had a son recently graduate from Thomas Jefferson H.S., said earlier this week that the oversight was in no way intentional. Lateef said the school division frequently recognizes and celebrates students’ achievements in community newsletters, presentations before the school board and other ways. “For me, the worst thing I can hear, as a school board chairman, is that someone doesn’t know about our students’ achievements or the many opportunities that are available to our students,” Lateef said.

ly prohibited from possessing a gun. Gun-rights proponents argued the proposal was overbroad, saying it would prevent parents from teaching teenagers how to handle guns to allow them to defend themselves and their families against home invasions and other attacks. The other bill would specify in state law that firearms are banned at state-owned colleges and universities. Guns are already prohibited on most college campuses in Virginia through school regulations, but proponents said the bill would give those rules the full force of criminal law. Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-25th, of Charlottesville, who sponsored the bill, tied it directly to last year’s shooting at the University of Virginia. In November, a student opened fire on a bus returning from a class trip, killing
three members of the university football team and wounding two others. “When they searched the suspect’s room at UVA, they found a whole bunch more weapons,” Deeds said. Testifying in support of the bill, University of Virginia Police Chief Tim Longo said it would give law enforcement a bigger role in potential weapons violations on school property. “Administrative policy violations are dealt with by administrators,” Longo said. “People in student affairs. People in the president’s office. People in facilities management. And they deal with those situations oftentimes in ways where they’re untrained, unskilled, not knowledgeable of the law.” The bill dealing with college campuses passed 10-5.

Bill to ban data centers near historic sites is deferred Sponsor Sen. Chap Petersen calls the move ‘not a good sign’ By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
A closely watched bill that could derail the controversial Prince William Digital Gateway was transferred from one state Senate committee to another Monday morning in a move that its sponsor, Sen. Chap Petersen, said was “not a good sign.” “There are clearly people working behind the scenes to defeat this bill, but I’m not going to be deterred,” said Petersen, D-34th of Fairfax City, in an interview Monday morning, after the Senate Local Government Committee sent his bill to the Senate Rules Committee. The Rules Committee is tentatively scheduled to hear the bill on Friday, Feb. 3, Petersen said. The first president to regularly travel by car had a rough ride to the Peace Jubilee back in 1911 Petersen’s bill, SB 1078, would prohibit data centers from being located within one mile of a national or state park or other “historically significant site.” The bill would also require that local governments conduct site assessments to determine new data centers’ effects on water usage, carbon emissions and agricultural resources before they issue approval. Petersen announced the bill last week in a joint press conference with Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, who has introduced two of her own data-center measures. “I was not happy the bill got deferred at the last second,” Peterson said. Petersen declined to speculate on why Local Government Committee Chairman Lynwood Lewis, D-6th, of Accomac, sent the bill away. Lewis said during the committee hearing that the move was suggested so Peterson’s SB 1078 could be heard alongside Petersen’s other data center measure, Senate Joint Resolution 240. The
Sen. J. Chapman “Chap” Petersen, D-34th, of Fairfax. resolution calls for the state Department of Energy to study the impacts of data center development on Virginia’s environment, economy, energy resources and carbon-reduction goals. Petersen said he’s not sure whether the bills will fare better or worse in the Rules Committee, but noted that the Rules Committee’s partisan makeup–12 Democrats and three Republicans– is more unevenly split than the Local Government Committee, which has nine Democrats and six Republicans. Petersen’s bill has been hailed by opponents of the Prince William Digital Gateway, a plan to open 2,139 acres adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield Park to data centers, as a silver bullet that could halt the corridor. But it’s also coinciding with the economic development initiative Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) announced for Amazon Web Services on Friday, Jan. 20. The state is proposing a 15-year extension of Virginia’s sales tax exemption on data center equipment and enabling software as well as $140 million in new state grant money for the tech giant. In return, Amazon has pledged to invest $35 billion in new data center campuses around the state by 2040. Both the sales and use tax exemp-
tion and the $140 million incentive package will require approval by the Virginia General Assembly. It has not yet been decided where the new data centers would be located, state officials said Friday. Petersen said the incentive package makes his bills “more salient.” “I will say that if we don’t move more quickly on this, we’re going to become overwhelmed by big data centers,” Petersen said. “And once you rezone for these things, it’s impossible to go backward.” Neither Amazon nor Youngkin’s office immediately responded to emails seeking comment on Petersen’s bill Monday afternoon. Among those voting to defer the bill was state Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, who represents a large swath of Prince William County. In an interview after the vote, McPike said it was “fairly typical” for similar bills to be grouped together in one committee. McPike would not say whether he has taken a position on Petersen’s bill. “I haven’t heard all the testimony yet,” he said. McPike said he hasn’t heard any attempts by Amazon to fight the bill. McPike carried a successful bill on behalf of data centers last year, Senate Bill 513, that standardized the way data center property is assessed for local tax purposes. Data centers house the computer servers and hardware required to support businesses and the internet. Northern Virginia has the highest concentration of data centers in the world. They are lauded for the tax revenue they bring to local governments but have also come under greater scrutiny for their use of large amounts of electricity and water and for the noise generated by their roof-top cooling equipment. Several communities in western Prince William County are fighting the expansion of data centers planned close to homes and schools and inside the rural crescent.

Loudoun County draws ‘a hard line’ on data centers in rural land DATA CENTERS, from page 1
How did Loudoun County first become aware of data centers?
It’s about 3% of our land base, providing over 30% of our tax benefits.
Dominion Energy announced After the tech bubble burst [in in July that it didn’t have the 2000], [Loudoun County] had three infrastructure in place to supply custom-built data centers that were continued growth of data empty. So I really started focusing centers in Loudoun. on filling those three buildings. We saw that if we made it easy for data centers to do business – by providing access to fiber optic networks, water and electricity, along with access to a workforce that would allow developers to get to market quickly – there was an opportunity for us to build.
How did you convince Loudoun’s elected officials to embrace data centers?
My pitch was an anti-jobs argument. This isn’t about jobs. The thing that makes data centers great for us is that we’re not bringing more people here. We’re not building schools; we’re not creating roads. We are not doing community services. At the same time, we’re getting a lot of tax revenue. We will receive about $650 million in local tax revenue this year from the data centers. [The $576 million estimate in Loudoun’s 2023 projection does not include real estate tax and other tax revenue, Rizer said.]
We had always worked under the assumption that the power was a given, and we worked very closely with Dominion to help them with their infrastructure. We were very surprised when in July, we started hearing that there was an issue and that they weren’t going to be able to deliver power to some new data centers that we were already committed to. So yes, that was a shock to all of us.
Have you run out of space where you can put data centers in Loudoun?
We have land limitations; we have power limitations; and we have political limitations.
What are your political limitations?
Our residents want to make sure that if they’re going to see data center buildings that they’re not dominating our community. I think that from a budgetary standpoint, we don’t want to become overly reliant on one revenue stream.
What do you think happens as there are fewer opportunities for tech companies to build data centers in Loudoun?
Is there enough demand from the data center industry to continue to expand?
What do you mean?
Do you have any advice on how surrounding counties should approach the development of data centers?
It’s opportunity and pressure. It’s the opportunity to attract what has been a community-enhancing and community-changing industry. But it also puts pressure on development patterns that were maybe not ever considered before. We have drawn a hard line in western Loudoun County – we have made a conscious decision that we are not going to build data centers there. There is pressure. People ask why we can’t put data centers west of Route 15. There is plenty of land. There are landowners out there that don’t want to farm anymore. They want to cash out, and they see this opportunity to sell their land for millions an acre. So, there is that pressure, right? I think it’s the same in other communities. They may have not thought of themselves as a place of dense development or high-impact development. And for, you know, whatever you want to say, data centers are high-impact development. They’re big. They have a lot of energy needs.
Our internal research would indicate that the digital infrastructure demand is going to exceed the supply through at least the middle 2030s nationwide, worldwide. People are paying $4 million and $5 million an acre for land in Loudoun County. It is still the most important data center market in the world. And that’s expanded just outside of Loudoun. Prince William is now part of that, Fauquier even.
I would say my lesson learned is to be very strategic -- set real expectations and work with the elected officials within the community. Define the envelope where it would be appropriate for data centers. I would include it around existing infrastructure and transportation corridors and consider proximity to environmentally sensitive areas and residential areas. I think that if you start encroaching or overlapping, that could be a dangerous precedent. Reach Christopher Stern at news@fauquier.com

Teens charged after missing Woodbridge man found dead By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Two teens charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of a missing Woodbridge man were related to each another and used the victim’s own car to transport his body to a wooded area in Adelphi, Maryland, where police found the remains Thursday, Jan. 19, according to court documents. Jose Abelino Guerrero, 20, of Woodbridge, had been missing from his Lynn Street home since about 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 21. Police declared the young man missing and “endangered” two days later, on Friday, Dec. 23, after his empty car was found in the vicinity of Bel Air and Jeffries roads in Woodbridge. On Thursday, Jan. 19, Prince William County police announced that Guerrero’s body had been found in Prince George’s County and that two teens – a 19-yearold and a 17-year-old – had been charged in connection with his death. The abandoned vehicle was a turning point in the case. Police found evidence of a struggle and blood inside the car. Prince William County detectives later identified two “persons of interest” in connection to Guerrero’s disappearance, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman. On Thursday, Jan. 19, a search warrant was obtained and executed at a home in the 14100 block of Matthews Drive in Woodbridge where Olvin Daniel Argueta Ramirez, 19, and a 17-year-old juvenile, who is related to Ramirez, were found and arrested, according to court charging documents. The two suspects met Guerrero in a parking lot off Lost Canyon Court, a residential area near Delaware Avenue in eastern Woodbridge, on Wednesday, Dec. 21, with the intent to rob him during a drug transaction, the document said. Guerrero resisted, and Ramirez allegedly “stabbed him and struck him multiple times to unconsciousness,” according to a probable cause affidavit filed at the Prince William County courthouse. Ramirez and the 17-year-old then allegedly used Guerrero’s vehicle to take him to another location in Woodbridge to “confirm that he was deceased,” the charging document said. They then used Guerrero’s vehicle to drive his body to a wooded area in Adelphi, Maryland, where they allegedly disposed of his body, the document said. In an interview with police, Ramirez “provided specific details” of the events leading up to Guerrero’s death. Guerrero’s remains were recovered after Ramirez “di-
Jose A. Guerrero
Olvin Daniel Argueta Ramirez rected law enforcement to” the area where the body was found, according to the charging documents. Ramirez also directed police to additional evidence, “to include the murder weapon,” the document said. Ramirez was arraigned on second-degree murder and other charges Friday, Jan. 20 and is being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center. The 17-year-old was also charged with murder and robbery in connection with Guerrero’s death and was being held at the Prince William County Juvenile Detention Center as of Thursday, Jan. 19, Perok said in a news release. Guerrero’s remains have since been transported to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Maryland for an autopsy, Perok said. Efforts to reach Ramirez’s attorney for comment were not immediately successful Friday afternoon. Guerrero had a 10-monthold baby daughter. His family and friends conducted their own searches for Guerrero in the days after he disappeared. Relatives also held candlelight vigils on Dec. 31 and Jan. 11 to pray for his safe return.

3 injured after freight train collides with a sod truck in Nokesville By Cher Muzyk
Times Staff Writer
Three workers were injured Thursday, Jan. 19 when their commercial sod truck was hit by a Norfolk Southern freight train in Nokesville. A Johnson Hydro Seeding Corporation truck with three workers on board was struck by the train just before 9 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19 near a private dirt roadway in the 11200 block of Aden Road in Nokesville, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department. The truck had just picked up a load of sod from Kettle Wind Farm,
also in Nokesville, when the crash occurred. The details about how the collision happened were not immediately clear Thursday morning. One of the workers was airlifted from the scene with life-threatening injuries, while two others were transported to an area hospital by ground emergency services, according to Perok and Prince William County Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Carl Ericson, who was at the scene. The Norfolk Southern train crew was not injured in the crash, and the train did not derail, Ericson said at the scene. The remains of the Johnson Hydro
truck, which appeared to have been torn in half with a portion dragged down the tracks, remained at the scene as of 11 a.m. The railroad tracks remain open to single-tracking rail traffic. “Norfolk Southern is actively working to make sure the scene is safe and open to rail traffic,” Ericson said, noting that an Amtrak train had been allowed to travel on the tracks through the scene at 10 miles per hour. Norfolk Southern was working on an accident reconstruction and environmental remediation at the crash site, he said. Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Proposed land-use conditions can’t stop noise at data centers It was standing room only at the Jan. 10 Warrenton Town Council meeting. Over 100 people waited hours — in a hearing that ran to 1:30 a.m. — to voice their opposition to the data center Amazon proposes at the gateway to historic Warrenton. On Dec. 20, the Warrenton Planning Commission recommended denying the application. Commissioners had acknowledged concerns about its size and unsightly appearance, its noise and damage to the local environment, its harm to property values and its incompatibility with the historic, residential character of Warrenton. It also noted complaints about the potential for new electric transmission lines and a substation. There had also been questions about lack of transparency and ethics irregularities in Amazon’s nonpublic dealings with the council and town employees. Yet, at its January meeting, the council disregarded the commission’s conclusion. Instead, setting
aside other problems with the application, council members debated whether they could solve noise concerns by applying conditions to a permit. Since a special-use permit, required for a data center, can’t be rescinded, they discussed requiring an occupancy permit — or a series of them, one for each section of the building. The notion was the town would revoke an occupancy permit whenever noise limits were exceeded, forcing Amazon to “shut down” operations, if noise violations weren’t resolved in 48 hours. Hearing this, we both felt compelled to offer our real-world advice. We each have more than 30 years’ experience in regulatory work, in enforcement, in government, consulting, or law practice. And as we said at the hearing, the occupancy permit notion is completely unrealistic. Yes, the town could attempt to negotiate conditions based on this occupancy permit regime, but it would be impractical to enforce them. In our opinion, Amazon ®
would never shut the center down, regardless of conditions. These facilities need uninterrupted operation. Banks, utilities, government agencies, businesses and people worldwide rely on seamless access to stored data. Any timely enforcement would require a court order — an injunction compelling Amazon to immediately comply with noise requirements or cease operations covered by the permit. But this type of order requires a very high standard, including showing “irreparable harm.” A court is unlikely to suspend data center operations over noise complaints. Warrenton would need to litigate the whole issue — a slow and costly process. How slow and costly? The average civil case takes two years. A typical D.C. firm attorney costs about $400 an hour. Warrenton had a 2022 operating budget of $14.6 million and 120 full-time employees. Amazon has annual revenues of $500 billion and about 1.5 million employees. Amazon’s law depart-
ment has some 400 lawyers and more than 100 firms on retainer. And with scores of data centers in operation, Amazon, in our opinion, would not be able to allow a small town of 10,000 to be seen interfering with operations. Noise is just one reason the Warrenton community almost unanimously opposes the data center. Conditions aren’t a solution — and aren’t an excuse for allowing it. The only right answer is to reject Amazon’s application. CHUCK CROSS Warrenton JOHN BENEDICT Middleburg

How Taft risked havoc and high water to visit Manassas The first president to regularly travel by car had a rough ride to the Peace Jubilee back in 1911 By Martin Jeter
Contributing Writer
Most folks who live in the Northern Virginia area have had trouble reaching their destination from time to time. A U.S. president faced similar challenges. This is the story of when President William Howard Taft visited Manassas for the 1911 Peace Jubilee. Manassas was the site of two of the biggest and most important battles of the Civil War, and local leaders thought the 50th anniversary of the First Battle of Bull Run was a good time to hold an event to bring old foes together in peace. The Manassas Peace Jubilee was that event. It was held from July 16 through July 21, 1911, and was organized by Confederate officer Edmund Berkeley and Union officer George Carr Round. More than 500 veterans from both sides took part in the Jubilee. Songs and poems were written for the event, including an event anthem. On the former battleground at noon, members of the opposing forces advanced on each other and met with outstretched arms rather than weapons. As part of the event, President Taft, who was from Ohio and was born a few years before the war, was to shake hands with Virginia governor William Hodges Mann. Mann was the last Confederate soldier to serve as governor in Virginia. Taft would then make a speech at the relatively new Prince William County courthouse and meet with Manassas residents. But all of that almost didn’t happen, as a review of the recently revealed record of the president’s trip that day illustrates. Rain, swollen streams and car troubles hampered the trip, turning the 28-mile journey into a nearly six-hour adventure.
Journey to the Jubilee
President Taft started out at 12:30 p.m. with an entourage including his chauffeur, an aide, a Virginia senator, the president’s secretary and Rep. Charles Carlin, from Alexandria, in his car. A car with Taft’s stenographer, a press correspondent, Carlin’s son and baskets of fruit, water and sandwiches followed. A third car held Secret Service members and a police officer, and a fourth held members of the Washington press. The weather was beautiful when they left Washington, but they didn’t get far before the press car broke down. The reporters were able to hire another car, which also failed, and then a third which finally got them to Manassas after the president’s speech and just in time to board the train back to Washington.
More than 500 Union and Confederate veterans gathered with officials at the Manassas battlefield between July 16 and July 21, 1911, for the Peace Jubilee, an event celebrating peace on the 50th anniversary of the First Battle of Bull Run. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

President William Howard Taft and his family in the president’s 1909 White steam-powered motor car. Taft was the first U.S. president to regularly use cars, rather than horse-drawn carriages, while in office. The president’s car continued on, stopping in Falls Church for 15 minutes to enjoy a glass of lemonade and make a quick speech at a local doctor’s home. Taft’s next stop was at the Fairfax courthouse to inspect George Washington’s will, which was kept there, and then to lunch nearby at the home of State Sen. R. Ewell Thornton. A storm had blown in, and the president’s group didn’t leave Fairfax until the rain let up at about 2:30 p.m. This is when the trouble started. About five miles outside of Fairfax, they came to a flooded stream that had stranded a car carrying senators trying to reach Manassas. Taft felt that his car, a White steam-powered car, could get through. Taft’s aide, identified in the official record only as “Major Butt,” volunteered to wade the stream to check the depth, and he found it to be up to his waist. Butt directed the president’s car through the stream where the water was shallowest. Two other steam cars in the president’s group made it through even though their pilot lights were extinguished by the water (the built-up steam pressure in the boiler carried them through). The stranded senators were rescued by a horse and buggy and distributed among the president’s group of cars. Two miles further down the road they came to another stream, this one even deeper and swifter. Major Butt again waded in and opined that it was
not crossable by motor vehicle. Despite the warning, they decided that the car carrying the Secret Service men would build a full head of steam in the boiler and make a run across the stream. They almost made it before the boiler was cooled, and the vehicle stopped dead in the stream. Now they were down to two cars -- the Secret Service men and the stenographer made way so the senators could ride in the remaining cars. The two cars started off on a detour route of about 10 miles, but when they got to the stream previously forded, the current was now much stronger. Yet again, Major Butt led the president’s car through, and they set off for Manassas as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the second car carrying the senators wasn’t as lucky and was stranded in the stream. Apparently, Major Butt was the only one who noticed, and he kept it to himself since there was no more room in the now one remaining vehicle. The senators were on their own. As Taft and his passengers continued toward Manassas, they came across numerous horse and carriage teams going the other way that were returning from the Jubilee. Horseless carriages were still not common in 1911. Taft was actually the first U.S. president to regularly use a car. See TAFT, page 11

50 years later, ‘Thoughts on Foxhunting’ remains part of the fabric of Virginia’s Piedmont Feb. 4 benefit screening supports Delaplane’s Emmanuel Church
Who is Tom Davenport? Melvin Poe is featured in the film “Thoughts on Foxhunting,” being shown in a special screening on Feb. 4.
By Betsy Burke Parker
Special to the Prince William Times
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the award-winning film, “Thoughts on Foxhunting,” filmmaker Tom Davenport and his Folkstreams film preservation network will offer a screening of a newly digitized version of the classic documentary on Saturday Feb. 4 at the Middleburg Community Center. The showing is at 7 p.m. Filmmaker Tom Davenport plans to add a 4 p.m. viewing if the later show sells out. Davenport will speak before and after each presentation about the original production of the project. Proceeds will benefit Emmanuel Church in Delaplane. The 1972 production by Davenport and Harrison O’Connor was funded by the late Paul Mellon and the National Endowment for Humanities. Hume native and legendary huntsman Melvin Poe is featured, along with the award-winning hounds of the Orange County Hunt. The story and action follow narration from Lord Peter Beckford’s 18th century “Thoughts on Hunting.” Late equestrian sports scholar, Alexan-

der McKay-Smith, reads from Beckford’s classic. The 30-minute film was originally shot in 16 mm format. It has been completely re-engineered in a 4k high definition, high resolution digital scan. The film was made from footage shot over six months with Poe and the Orange County hounds, using hand-held cameras on foot, on horseback and by using a then-cutting-edge “hound cam” that lets the viewer see the action from a “hound’s perspective.” See DAVENPORT, page 14
Tom Davenport, 83 attended the old Marshall High School, going on, to earn a degree in English at Yale in 1961. He apprenticed with renowned documentary filmmakers Richard Leacock and D.A. Pennebaker in New York, in 1970 returning to his family’s Hollin Farms near Delaplane. In 1971, he founded Davenport Films, along with wife, co-producer and designer, Mimi Davenport. To conserve these snippets of American folklife, Davenport launched Folkstreams in 2000, a free online streaming platform to help other independent filmmakers preserve their work. “I realized that you could reach niche audiences if you put your films on the internet,” said Davenport. “These were important films, but they were being lost.” Davenport won the National Heritage Fellowship in 2021, a $25,000 award gifted to those “who have made significant contributions to the preservation and awareness of cultural heritage.” He’s produced more than 30 films, including award-winning pieces on the last lynching in Fauquier County and real-life adaptations of Grimms fairy tales.

Two Confederate soldiers shake hands during the 1911 Peace Jubilee in Manassas.
How Taft risked havoc and high water to visit Manassas TAFT, from page 8 Care had to be taken to not spook the horses they met on the road. Major Butt even had to get out and lead the approaching horses past on several occasions. They finally reached Manassas at 6 p.m. that evening in a cloud of dust, the rain not having reached west of Centreville. Taft made a short speech, then shook hands with veterans of both sides of the war who were in attendance. After his speech, Taft went to the home of Judge James Bankhead Taylor Thornton on Grant Avenue not far from the courthouse for tea and departed for Washington at 7:30 p.m. in a train that had been reserved for railroad officials. Taft arrived back in Washington at 9 p.m. in the midst of another drenching thunderstorm.
Correcting the record on Annaburg
It has long been reported that Taft visited Annaburg Manor for dinner on that day in 1911, but some recent research by Mary Dellinger, curator EVENTS, from page 10 Leopold’s Preserve Winter Lecture Series: 10 to 11 a.m. Alison Zak, founder of the Human Beaver Coexistence Fund, will discuss beavers’ role in the ecosystem.

of the Manassas Museum, proved that to be incorrect. She found the official record of President Taft’s travel that day in the Library of Congress, from which this article is drawn. The record clearly shows that Taft visited Judge Thornton’s home, not Annaburg, and had a quick tea, not dinner. The error on tea rather than a meal may have stemmed from confusion regarding Taft lunching at Senator R. Ewell Thornton’s home in Fairfax and having tea at Judge Thornton’s home in Manassas -- too many Thorntons! The error over the location of the visit appears to have originally come from an incorrect entry in the “History of Prince William” book. Motorcars were new in 1911, and travel wasn’t easy, but President Taft was an automobile proponent; he also owned a Baker electric vehicle. He persevered and took part in an important event to heal old wounds. Maybe there’s a lesson in there for all of us.

A year after reaching the Class 6 semifinals, Isaiah Vick and the Patriot Pioneers are planning another long postseason run.
PATRIOT BOYS STILL RULE CEDAR RUN Powerful Pioneers are still rolling, led by Coleman, Randall, Bates, Hopkins, Vick By Matthew Proctor Special to the Times
Gainesville didn’t shock the world Friday night but the Cardinals sure put a scare into the powerful Patriot Pioneers. The up-and-coming second-year boys basketball program got firstplace Patriot’s attention by cutting a 22-point deficit to three before Patriot escaped with a 68-60 win. “You can’t be mad when you win, but you can be upset at how you win,” said Patriot coach Sherman Rivers. “I think they scored 32 points in the fourth quarter. That is insane.” The win reaffirmed the status quo in the Cedar Run District as the five-defending champion Pioneers remained in control at 10-0 and 14-2 overall, with the Cardinals (6-4, 135) in third behind impressive second-place Battlefield (9-1, 17-1). Patriot beat Gainesville by building a monster lead — using its bevy of returning stars from last year’s Class 6 state semifinal squad that finished 26-1. Featuring three seniors and two juniors in the starting lineup, the Pioneers are a mature and talented squad. They have reliable outside shooters, are athletic, have decent size and are battle-tested. “I think from a roster standpoint, we are poised to play deep into the playoffs,” Rivers said. “You’ve got to look at us as being one of the people that is
expected to get there, but expectations can get you in trouble if you don’t meet them with some substance.” The point guard is 5-foot-9 senior Nasir Coleman, a playmaker with the ability to both score and pass. Coleman has multiple double-doubles so far this season. “When he is slashing, getting into the paint, and creating for guys, he is extremely good. Probably the best, not probably, he is the best point guard that there is in the state, I think, when he is playing at that type of level,” Rivers said. Senior Jay Randall, a 6-3 forward, is Patriot’s most versatile player as he can defend anyone on the court and has been “shooting the cover off of it from three,” said Rivers. Guard Kaden Bates, a 6-3 senior, is having a breakout year. He’s been a deadeye shooter and a good defender with quick hands., Bates has been “one of our, if not our best players for a lot of our games this season.” Dezmond Hopkins, a 5-11 junior guard, and Isaiah Vick, a 6-5 junior forward, round out the starting lineup. Hopkins is described as a pure scorer who can score at all three levels while Vick boasts the potential to become a fantastic wing at the college level. “Offensively, he is extremely gifted,” Rivers said of Hopkins. “Isaiah, his best days are once he’s going to be gone from here. Every day he gets better, I think he had the best offsea-
Patriot’s Dezmond Hopkins drives against Gainesville’s Noah Arterbery. The first-place Pioneers have three more district games left, ending with second-place Battlefield next Friday, Feb. 3 in Haymarket. son of any guy that we have.”
So far, so good
A year after losing to Battlefield 5554 in the state semifinals, the Pioneers have resumed their spectacular play. They’ve lost twice early in the season by two points, falling to defending Class 6 state champion Hayfield 75-73 and Middletown (Delaware) 68-66. Moving into the district season they’ve been perfect, which includes a 74-62 win over archrival Battlefield on Jan. 13. Patriot and Battlefield met an astounding five times last season, with Patriot winning the first four. Patriot won twice in the regular season, and later beat Battlefield for the region title. Their final meeting in the state semis was an instant classic. Played at Patriot, Battlefield came from behind to win 55-54, then lost to Hayfield in the state championship. Against Gainesville, Patriot showcased why they are so dominant.
After leading 19-13 after the first quarter, the Pioneers took charge in building a 50-28 lead. Halfway through the fourth came the Cardinals’ avalanche. The Cardinals made six 3-pointers and scored 32 points, cutting Patriot’s lead to 63-60 with just over a minute left. Patriot made 10 of 16 free throw attempts to win 68-60. “I know that Gainesville’s going to come away from this feeling a certain type of way of confidence because of the way they played in the fourth quarter, which is all well and good,” Rivers said. “But at the end of the day, we know that we’re at a certain level that they’re trying to get to.” Rivers says his team can improve. “We have still yet to play a full game, which is crazy to say when you have a team averaging 71 and giving up 50. But it’d be nice if we could see it sometime soon, I’ll tell you that,” Rivers said.

50 years later, ‘Thoughts on Foxhunting’ remains part of the fabric of Virginia’s Piedmont DAVENPORT, from page 9 When he initially proposed a hunt country documentary for a National Endowment for the Arts grant to document “a slice of Americana,” Davenport was directed by many people to “go see. Orange County Hunt huntsman Melvin Poe to get some insight,” Davenport recalled. “Boy, did I ever get insight.” His initial research led to the OCH kennels near The Plains where Davenport arrived just as the huntsman was skinning the carcass of a local landowner’s fallen livestock. “He
was drinking a Pepsi,” Davenport remembered like it was yesterday. Poe died in 2014. He was inducted into the Huntsman’s room, hunting’s Hall of Fame, in 2011. “There’s this thought that foxhunting is snooty and rich, all tied up in English aristocracy. But here was this guy from Hume, a farmer, a countryman. He’s skinning a horse in his shirtsleeves, talking to me like it was the most normal thing in the world. He’s hunting the hounds and talking to everybody, landowners to the hired help. It took this sport from a print hanging on the wall to real and accessible.
“I knew it would be perfect.” Davenport and O’Connor began gathering footage, from Poe’s own farm in Hume to the fields and forest between The Plains and Middleburg. Davenport paired scenes with passages from the Beckford work to trace a day of sport – preparation, training, excitement and anticipation of hounds and horses moving off and the thrilling sounds of the first “open,” when two dozen hounds bawl in unison as they set off cross-country to follow an invisible scent trail. He interlaced footage of red foxes
dashing across pastureland, darting over historic stone walls and jogging along rural country lanes. The memorable closing scene follows a solitary red fox trotting across a snow-covered field, at ease enough to pause and glance over both shoulders, as if contemplating the peaceful solitude of a quiet winter pasture. “I loved building that storytelling device into the film,” Davenport says. “It captures the picture of Fauquier folklife.” To reserve a ticket to the Feb. 4 screening, search “Thoughts on Foxhunting” at eventbrite.com.

Dorothy Z. Hackley Dorothy Z. Hackley, a familiar, welcoming face at Hackleys Store in Amissville VA for many years passed peacefully at Fauquier Health Rehab and Nursing Center (FHRNC) in Warrenton VA on January 14, 2023. Dorothy, with her husband Graham, served their friends and neighbors side by side at Hackleys Store for over 5 decades. Born on top of Laurel Ridge in WV on February 16, 1925, Dorothy Lee Zinn moved with her family to Amissville when she was 12. The family worked hard to establish their homestead. Dorothy even stacked barrel staves alongside her brothers at their father’s stave mill on present-day Battle Mountain Road, and lived the tale of walking miles to catch the school bus every day in all kinds of weather! Upon graduating from Washington (VA) High School, where she was voted “prettiest girl” in her senior class, she worked for a short time in the mailroom of Capitol Airlines (now United) in Washington, DC. In 1944 she boarded a Trailways bus that made regular stops in front of Hackleys Store, bound for nursing school at Wilmington General Hospital in DE. Upon receiving her nursing certification she became a member of the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps serving during World War II. She married Graham in 1947, and then worked at the “old” Fauquier Hospital in Old Town Warrenton (VA) attending to many of her Amissville neighbors and friends. There being no rescue squads at that time, she often visited patients in their homes, or welcomed them into hers for shots (doctorsanctioned, of course) and basic first aid. Dorothy left nursing in 1963 to work fulltime with her husband at Hackleys Store, while raising her children, Janet and Larry, and living next door in the Hackley-family home (circa 1858) where her husband Graham and all of his siblings were born. Always ones to support their community, Dorothy and Graham hired many Amissville teenagers to stock shelves at Hackleys, always encouraging them, supporting their educational pursuits, and feeding them on Friday nights! Dorothy joined the Amissville United Methodist Church in 1947, later chairing many committees, including the one nearest to her heart – the Methodist Cemetery committee, which she chaired for many years. In the 1950s Dorothy helped found the Amissville Civic Club that for many years supported families in need in the Amissville community. In that same spirit, she and Graham helped the Amissville Ruritan Club start the Amissville Christmas Baskets project over 50 years ago, staying involved in the project from its inception. The project is still alive and well, sponsored by the Amissville Community Foundation. Dorothy’s bright smile was always her trademark. In retirement she enjoyed quilting, reading, being “Grandma” to her “favorite grandson” Joshua, and continuing her passion of sending cards for all occasions to those she loved. Her friends, and Zinn & Hackley families were precious to her. Dorothy is survived by her daughter Janet Hackley Makela (Ronald), her grandson Joshua Bryan Hackley Makela (Sophia Coleman), her sisters JoAnne Zinn Tilley, Nancy Zinn Nicholas (Farrell), special sister-in-law Betty Goss Zinn, and countless nieces and nephews that she adored. She was predeceased by her husband E. Graham Hackley, son Larry Graham Hackley, parents Curtiss Cedric and Hazel Bennett Zinn, sisters C. Luerena Zinn and Helen Zinn Bricker (Karl), and brothers Paul C. Zinn (Louise), Frank R. Zinn (Anna), and Henry W. Zinn, and brother-in-law Wallace Tilley. A Funeral/Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2023 at 2:00 PM at the Amissville United Methodist Church. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Amissville Methodist Cemetery, P.O. Box 108, Amissville, VA 20106, the Amissville Community Foundation, P.O. Box 236, Amissville, VA 20106, Amissville Volunteer Fire & Rescue, P.O. Box 147, Amissville, VA 20106, or the Hackley Family Scholarship Fund, c/o Headwaters – Rappahannock Co.

Kathleen Marie Mitchell Kathleen Marie Mitchell of Warrenton, VA passed away on January 13, 2023, at Reston Hospital Center after a brief illness. She was 86 years old. She was born in Boston, MA to Frederick and Kathleen Connolly. Due to the death of her mother and other unforeseen events, she was adopted at an early age by James and Priscilla Donovan of Boston, MA. She lived in Massachusetts until 1967, whereupon she and her family moved to Fauquier County, Virginia where she spent the remainder of her life. She is survived by her six children, Colleen Deros (Christopher), James Mitchell, Maryrose Mitchell, Jeanne Combos (Alex), Michael Mitchell, and Shae Kline (Robert). She cherished spending time with her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews. Kathy was a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus and a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Warrenton for over 5 decades. She volunteered with the Legion of Mary and had a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. Kathy was an avid reader, and especially loved reading books and watching videos about various aspects of the Catholic faith, as she sought to draw closer to the Lord. Those who knew her best treasured her dry sense of humor, her love for the Boston Red Sox, any kind of animal, and all things related to her Irish heritage. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Warrenton, with a private interment at the Little Georgetown Cemetery in Broad Run, VA.
