Gainesville candidates clash on data centers, school funding

Committee of 100 President Ray Mizener, center, introduces Democrat Kerensa Sumers, left, and Republican Bob Weir, right. The two faced off during a candidate forum at Battlefield High School on Thursday, Feb. 9.

Two candidates vying for the Gainesville District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors offered differing opinions Thursday on data center tax rates, rural crescent zoning rules and whether the school board should have sole discretion over how to spend local tax money for public schools.

Republican nominee Bob Weir, 60, of Haymarket, and Democrat Kerensa Sumers, 39, of Manassas, answered 15 questions during a candidate forum held Thursday, Feb. 9 at Battlefield High School in Haymarket. The two are on the ballot for the Feb. 21 special election to fill the remaining nine months of former supervisor Pete Candland’s term. Candland resigned in December.

The event was sponsored by the Prince William County Committee of 100 and the League of Women Voters of Prince William and Fauquier counties. Bruce Potter, chief operating officer for Rappahannock Media, LLC, which owns InsideNova, moderated the forum.

Sumers and Weir differed most sharply on the rural crescent, an area of about 80,000 acres in western Prince William County where development was limited to one home per 10 acres and connections to public sewer lines were largely prohibited in an effort to restrict suburban sprawl.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors eliminated rural crescent zoning rules when it voted in December to update the county’s comprehensive plan.

After listening to nearly 130 speakers rail against the proposed Amazon data center, at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday the Warrenton Town Council voted 4-3 to approve the special use permit needed to move the project forward.

Warrenton Town Councilmembers Heather Sutphin (Ward 1), Jay Heroux (Ward 5), Brett Hamby (Ward 3) and Jim Hartman (Ward 4) voted to approve the SUP, while members Paul Mooney (at large), David McGuire (at large) and Bill Semple (Ward 2) voted to deny it.

Warrenton approves controversial data center WARRENTON, from page 1 The decision marked the end of a public process that began in July 2022 with the Warrenton Planning Commission’s first meeting on the Amazon Web Services proposal to build a 220,000-squarefoot data center on Blackwell Road. In December, the planning commission voted to recommend that the town council deny the plan.

The town council held two public hearings and several work sessions on the proposed data center – with input from more than 200 speakers — before Wednesday’s early morning vote.

The session, held at Fauquier High School, featured a packed auditorium and a raucous crowd.

Speakers – nearly all of whom vehemently opposed the data center – alternately pleaded with the council and scolded them for ignoring their entreaties.

Longtime Warrenton land-use battle warrior Hope Porter, 98, got a standing ovation after her speech. Actor Robert Duvall, 92, a Fauquier resident, also made an appearance to express his opposition. Duvall described Warrenton as “the last station stop on the way to heaven,” and asked the council to deny the SUP.

Dissenting councilmembers Semple, Mooney and McGuire expressed extreme disappointment after the final vote, and the scattered residents who remained after the marathon public hearing booed and shouted their anger at the council.

Semple said, “It was important for us to understand the overall impacts of the data center, and we don’t have that,” adding that he couldn’t see what benefits the data center would bring to residents.

Mooney said that he feared the council “had lost the trust of citizens, and I understand why. ...There was much wrong with this application.”

But Hamby and Heroux laid out why they felt approving the data center was the right decision. Hamby said that the industrial-zoned parcel purchased by Amazon for the data center had been considered for Walmart, Costco, Target, a college and a residential project. “Everything has been tried there and nothing worked,” he said, explaining that the location is problematic for many uses because the site’s only access is from Blackwell Road, a minor road.

Hamby listed the pros: A data center would bring no traffic, no school seats and tax revenue of about $900,000 annually over five years.

Councilman asks for delay

Semple threatened to derail a vote on the data center proposal early in the meeting when he suggested that more than 3,000 emails that had been sought by Citizens for Fauquier County be made available for councilmembers to read — before a vote on the data center could be held.

CFFC, a local conservation group, had filed a Virginia Freedom of Information lawsuit to gain access to the emails between town officials and Amazon, but a judge ruled Jan. 7 that the town had the right to withhold the emails based on executive privilege.

Semple claimed that the council should be able to see the emails so they could have all the information possible before rendering a decision. But Hamby, Hartman, Sutphin and Heroux disagreed, and the motion failed.

Hamby said after the meeting that he would have been in favor of releasing all the emails anyway, but the CFFC announced Feb. 13 it would appeal the judge’s decision. The town’s attorney recommended that the town not share any of the communications until litigation was complete.

Gainesville supervisor candidates clash on data centers, school funding in forum FORUM, from page 1 Now, connections to public sewer lines are allowed throughout the county – at a developer or homeowner’s expense. Also, hundreds of acres in the rural area have been replanned for “conservation residential” housing that will allow homes to be clustered on smaller lots as long as 60% of an overall development is preserved as open space.

Sumers said she agreed with the decision to allow sewer connections in the rural area and said the former rule requiring 10-acre lots “actually hindered our growth and hindered our economy.”

“Those septic systems have a history of failure. Those septic systems have been leaking into groundwater for quite some time,” she added.

Sumers further said the county should “maintain a lot of open space for the park system.”

Weir, however, said he’d never heard of septic systems failing “en masse” and hinted he would be in favor of changing the comprehensive plan to reinstate rural crescent development limits.

“What’s going to be necessary now is the close management of the [development] applications that come in,” he said. “At least until a point in time that you can replace the current comprehensive plan with a new one.”

On data center tax rates, the two disagreed on whether Prince William County should raise the rate it charges data centers on their “computer and peripheral” equipment and failed to agree on how Prince William County’s tax rate compares to that of Loudoun County, which has the highest concentration of data centers in the world.

Prince William County’s computer and peripheral tax rate for local businesses, including data centers, is $1.65 per $100 in assessed valuation.

Loudoun County’s is $4.20 per $100 in assessed value.

Sumers inaccurately stated that Loudoun County’s tax rate is “actu-

ally closer to $1.89.”

Sumers went on to say that Prince William County should raise its data center tax “2 to 4% a year.” Weir said the county should “double its tax rate almost immediately.”

Sumers said she favored “gradually raising” the tax rate to ensure the county isn’t overextending itself.

“We need to make sure that we have the actual money coming in before we start making budgetary decisions,” she said.

Weir, however, noted that the data centers “don’t care” about the tax rate and that the fear that data centers will leave the county if the tax rate is higher is “a false argument.”

Asked how the county should spend extra tax revenue generated by a higher data center tax rate, the two candidates gave differing responses.

Weir said that half the money should be “delivered back to taxpayers,” in the form of a reduced real estate tax rate, and half should be split between public safety and the school division.

Weir also said the board of supervisors should have authority over how to spend the extra money for the school division, whether it be to increase teacher compensation or add some kind of educational programming -- “whatever the residents in their districts say they need.”

Earlier in the forum, Weir said he believed the county’s revenue sharing agreement with the local school division is “outdated” and that the county should have more deference in how the school division spends its money. Under the revenue sharing agreement, 57.23% of the county’s general fund tax revenue is shared with the schools, and the school division’s budget is decided by the superintendent and school board.

Sumers said she agreed the money should be spent on local schools but said the school board should spend it at its discretion.

“I don’t know anyone on the board of supervisors who’s an educator or

teacher or administrator,” she added.

“I think the schools need to decide where it should go.”

Sumers made no mention of returning some of the money to local taxpayers.

The Virginia Constitution says boards of supervisors can only provide broad input on how school boards spend local tax money for schools.

On building data centers next to residential areas, the two candidates also disagreed. Sumers advocated for buffers between homes and new data centers, while Weir said he is opposed to building data centers near residential areas.

Sumers said she would advocate for a setback of at least 100 feet between data centers and homes or schools and that the setback should include a “screen” of trees to block the building from view.

“A data center should not be right beside any home,” Sumers said. “We need to have trees, and we need to have a lot of space.”

Weir expressed concern about building data centers near homes and schools at all -- not only because of noise, but also because of generators used by the data centers that may affect air quality.

“Buffering alone is not the answer,” Weir said. “It’s all about planning it properly from the outset. You don’t put industrial uses next to residential uses or schools; they’re simply not compatible.”

Potter also asked the candidates how they would vote on the Devlin Technology Park, a controversial request to rezone about 270 acres in Bristow for 14 new data centers.

The county supervisors voted early Wednesday, Feb. 8 to defer their decision on the rezoning until March 7.

Whoever wins the Feb. 21 election will likely be sworn into office in time for the March 7 vote.

Neither candidate offered a definitive response to the question.

Sumers said she would have to see whether the project meets her requirements for “a proper buffer” and whether the data centers would be “noninvasive” and “not detrimental to the environment.”

Weir said that given his position on data centers near homes and schools, which he opposes, voters should know where he stands.

“It’s not … hard to figure out what kind of path I’m gonna take,” he said.

Bald eagle found in Nokesville recovering from trauma, lead poisoning

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

A week after it was found injured and unable to fly on a Nokesville farm, a bald eagle was improving but its condition remained “guarded” this week, according to Dr. Jen Riley, hospital director of the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center.

Nokesville resident Ed Williams found the bald eagle on Sunday, Feb. 5 when he was feeding his animals on his farm along Flory Road. Williams saw the eagle drinking from a water tub and realized it couldn’t fly. Williams’s wife, Adrianne, called Prince William County Animal Control, which captured the bird and transported it to the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center in Boyce, Virginia, according to Lt. Benjamin Lambert, chief deputy animal control officer.

The good news is that the eagle is alive and has a great appetite. The bad news is that it likely suffered some degree of permanent brain damage, Riley said.

Blue Ridge staff determined the eagle suffered a skull fracture and eye trauma at least three to five days before it was captured and also had high levels of lead. Because no one saw the circumstances surrounding the bird’s injuries, Riley says she can only speculate based on its symptoms.

“I suspect the eagle may have been weak longer than three to five days given the thin body condition, unkempt feathers and high burden of [intestinal] parasites,” Riley wrote in an email to the Prince William Times.

Riley said some of the eagle’s injuries -- head trauma, a skull fracture, blood in the nostrils and soft wing tissue swollen with excessive fluid -- are consistent with either being electrocuted atop the power lines and falling from a high transformer or being hit by a car after being weakened and on

the ground for many days due to lead exposure or other metabolic issues.

After intensive care, the eagle’s eye had healed, its beak is stable and its wing injuries have healed.

“All those things are positive,” Riley said.

A larger issue is the bird’s neurologic condition. “There’s been no improvement in mental status nor attitude, and the eagle remains fairly easy to handle,” Riley said.

A second blood test is pending which could provide more answers and help guide treatment.

In the meantime, the eagle is receiving fluids, pain medication, lots of rest and treatment for intestinal parasites, she said.

Avian flu remains a concern. The eagle’s first test was negative, but because its brain functions haven’t improved, the test was repeated to be sure, Riley said.

The eagle was isolated at first but has since moved to the hospital’s indoor raptor room. “We will likely continue in a small cage for a while as a bird with neurological issues like this can get themselves badly injured if given too much space,” Riley said.

Lead poisoning

The eagle’s lead levels were “on the low end of toxicity,” but Riley said she suspects they were higher when its trauma first occurred.

Riley explained that the lead found in raptors, especially those that scavenge, such as eagles and vultures, occurs mostly when the birds of prey ingest bullets after hunters field dress deer. When hunters use lead ammunition, “microscopic fragments, large enough to kill an eagle” can be found over a foot and a half from the hunted animal’s primary wound, she said.

“This is why our ‘lead poisoning season’ follows the deer hunting season so closely in our state,” Riley said.

SAVE $150 Outdoor Solution

A more recent picture of the eagle, whose condition is improving but still “guarded,” according to Dr. Jen Riley, hospital director of the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center.

Of the more than 50 adult eagles Blue Ridge treated in the past few years, 90% have had elevated levels of lead. Of the three eagles Blue Ridge admitted this year, two had confirmed lead toxicity. The first died before it could be tested.

The second died shortly after being admitted.

The wildlife center recommends that hunters switch to ammunition that does not contain lead and avoid lead fishing weights to prevent lead toxicity in both animals and people, Riley said.

Proudly Serving Virginia’s Military Veterans & Their Families

Staff Reports A 48-year-old woman was fatally stabbed Monday during a domestic dispute at the Regency Apartments outside Manassas, and her adult son was charged in connection with her death, according to police.

Darrion Hunter Wilds, 24, of 9805 Shallow Creek Loop in Manassas, was being held without bond Monday night at the Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center.

Wilds has been charged with murder and stabbing in the commission of a felony in connection with the death of his mother, Jennifer Nicole Marshall, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman.

Officers responded to the Regency Apartments, located behind the Target shopping center on Va. 28, at about 10:57 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 13, after a bystander reported that an adult woman was outside and appeared to be injured.

Police arrived and found Marshall alone outside the apartment and bleeding from the neck from an apparent stab wound, Perok said in a news release.

Because police could not immediately locate a suspect, Marshall was

moved from the area via a portable stretcher so that police could provide first aid in a secure location until fire and rescue crews Darrion Hunter arrived. She was then taken to a Wilds nearby hospital, where she later died from her injuries, the release said.

A nearby apartment was checked and cleared by officers as additional information regarding the suspect was obtained at the scene, Perok said.

The suspect was then identified as Marshall’s son. A witness observed Wilds walking along the train tracks near Bristow Road. Wilds did not initially acknowledge the officers, but they followed him and eventually convinced him to stop about two miles away from the apartments near the 10800 block of Bristow Road, where he was arrested. Wilds was not injured, Perok said.

Wilds was taken into custody within an hour after police arrived on scene at the incident, Perok said.

The incident marks Prince William County’s third homicide of the year.

1 killed, 1 injured in 3-car crash on Sudley Road in Gainesville A 31-year-old Catharpin man was killed, and a 42-year-old Haymarket man was taken to the hospital with injuries, Monday morning as a result of a three-car crash along Sudley Road in Gainesville, according to Prince William County police.

Officers were called to the scene of the crash, near the intersection of Sudley Road and Stepney Drive, at 6:13 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 13. The police investigation determined that the crash occurred when the driver of a 2019 Cadillac XT4, driven by Paul Leon Reece, 87, of Catharpin, made a left turn onto Sudley Road from Stepney Drive and entered the path of a 1998 Toyota Corolla traveling west on Sudley Road, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman.

The driver of the Corolla attempted to avoid a collision and sideswiped

the Cadillac. The collision caused the Corolla to rotate. It was then struck by a 2008 Toyota Yaris, which was traveling east on Sudley Road, Perok said in a news release.

The adult male driver of the Corolla, identified as Williams Ely Monge Rodriguez, 31, of Catharpin, was transported to an area hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries, the release said.

The driver of the Yaris, a 42-yearold Haymarket man, was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the release said.

Reece and his passenger, an 85-year-old Catharpin woman, were not injured in the crash. Reece was cited for failing to stop or yield before entering the highway. He was released on a summons for an upcoming court hearing, the release said.

State Sen. Chap Petersen, D-34th, of Fairfax City.

State lawmakers kill data center study bill

Several of Virginia’s major conNo data center servation and environmental groups ‘reform’ bills survive spoke in support of the bill, includBy Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Hopes that Virginia lawmakers would agree to study the impacts of the state’s rapidly expanding data-center industry were dashed this week when a House of Delegates’ subcommittee killed the last remaining data center reform bill introduced this year.

In an early morning meeting on Monday, Feb. 13, a House Rules subcommittee tabled state Sen. J. Chapman “Chap” Petersen’s Senate Joint Resolution 240 in a 3-2-1 vote.

The measure called for the Virginia Department of Energy to convene a task force of stakeholders to study data centers’ impacts on environment, economy, energy resources and the state’s carbon-emissions reduction goals.

The measure died exactly oneweek after it sailed through the state Senate in a unanimous vote. Those voting to table the bill were Republican Dels. Tony Wilt, 26th, of Harrisonburg; Kathy Byron, 22nd, of Lynchburg; and Christopher Head, 17th, of Roanoke. One Democrat and one Republican lawmaker voted against tabling the bill: Del. Charniele Herring, D-46th, of Alexandria; and Del. Phillip Scott, R-88th, of Fredericksburg.

Petersen, D-34th, of Fairfax City, said he introduced SJ 240 along with another bill, SB 1078, in an effort to “tap the breaks” on data center development around the state so that officials could better understand of the effect the huge, concrete buildings will have on the environment as well as their draw on the state’s energy supply.

Petersen’s SB 1078, which was killed in the Senate, was aimed at the Prince William Digital Gateway and would have prohibited data centers within one mile of state historic sites. Petersen said SJ 240 was considerably “milder.”

“This bill does not prohibit anything. It simply says, let’s stand back and study it and come back in 2024, and let’s talk about putting some limits on it,” he said.

ing Virginia League of Conservation Voters, the American Battlefield Trust, the Piedmont Environmental Council, Preservation Virginia, the Southern Environmental Law Center and Virginia Conservation Network.

Those speaking in opposition to the bill included data center developers QTS and Compass, both of which are seeking to build data centers in the Digital Gateway, as well as Digital Gateway landowners who have already signed contracts to sell their land to those companies. Among the latter group were Prince William County residents Tim Kissler, Page Snyder, Ken Knarr, Ali Amam and Mary Ann Ghadban.

Ghadban, a commercial developer who put together one of two land assemblages that make up the Digital Gateway, is selling her home and 55-acre farm as part of the deal. During her testimony, Ghadban called SJ 240 “a meddling into Prince William County’s ability to stop being the junk room of Northern Virginia.”

Local governments, she said, should have sole oversight on such industrial developments.

But Petersen, like other Digital Gateway opponents, sees the rapid expansion of data centers not as an enhancement of local landscapes but rather a potential blight that threatens both the environment and the state’s ability to reach its clean energy goals.

“We are on the verge of an environmental catastrophe,” Petersen said in an interview after the vote. “I don’t know how other to describe it.

It’s going to transform the landscape in Virginia.”

Petersen said he expects the debate over data centers will continue through the election cycle. He also reiterated his position that data centers are a state issue because of the significant state tax breaks offered to data centers in Virginia.

“This is not a free market,” he added of Virginia’s data center economy. “This is a preference market.”

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | February 16, 2023

GUEST OPINION

When it comes to controlling data center sprawl, we all play a role Virginia’s Department of Environmental Quality is considering increasing pollution limits for about 150 data centers in Prince William, Loudoun and Fairfax counties from March to July so they can run their backup power generators in case of stress on the electrical grid. The current electrical grid is limited in its ability to meet current demand and still more and more data centers are being constructed, approved, and are working through the planning and zoning processes.

Dominion Energy CEO Bob Blue stated in an August 2022 investor call that data centers account for about 20% of the company’s sales in Virginia. Over the past four years, the company had connected nearly 70 data centers with more than 2.6 gigawatts of capacity in Northern Virginia. He claimed electrical demand from data centers is expected to grow by another 2.6 gigawatts by 2027.

I’m greatly concerned that while our communities are being divided over data centers, the reality may be that the power grid will not be able to sustain the exponential growth of the data industry while providing power for everyone else -- including schools, hospitals, businesses and homes – without significant upgrades to the grid. The option to run noisy generators that require waivers for air-quality standards is

TOM GORDY

not a desirable solution for either the short or long terms.

It would be beneficial for community leaders to hear from Dominion about the impending challenges related to our power grid’s ability to meet growing data center demand and the plans to address them.

Adding transmission and distribution lines or placing small modular nuclear reactors in proximity of Northern Virginia data centers – something Gov. Glenn Youngkin has said the state should explore – requires transparency and community input. The sooner we understand the challenges and proposed solutions, the better.

However, there is mounting research showing that even with the rapid addition of new data centers, the current model is not sustainable. Aston University researchers in Birmingham, England have concluded, “The world could soon face a massive data storage crunch thanks to the exponential growth of information people store digitally

every day.” They say the global datasphere — the total amount of data worldwide stored in data centers — will increase by 300% within the next three years to 175 zettabytes – or 175 billion terabytes.

According to analysis, data centers already use up 1.5% of the world’s electricity. One of the researchers, Dr. Matt Derry, stated, “Simply building new data centers without improving data storage technologies is not a viable solution.”

Dr. Amit Kumar Sarkar, a researcher in materials chemistry, added: “Increasing the efficiency of existing technologies will significantly reduce the need for costly, environmentally damaging construction of new ‘mega data centers.’”

In a nutshell, over the next few years, data centers will have to transform because of the exponential growth of data and the inability of the power grid to meet demand.

Data centers will have to incorporate smaller, less-power-hungry technologies, which may preclude the need for the massive facilities currently expanding across the Northern Virginia landscape.

Northern Virginia is ground zero for this dilemma. Prince William, Loudoun and Fairfax can be catalysts to push data companies to start investing and implementing

new technologies that are better for our environment and better for our communities for the long term.

A win-win is possible, but a governmental backbone will be required. State and local financial incentives for data centers, as well as planning and zoning requirements, should encourage investments in new energy-efficient technologies and smaller, less impactful facilities.

In the meantime, we all need to understand we are part of the problem. We are the ones creating data and storing it in the cloud, requiring data storage companies to build as fast as they can to meet the growing demand.

We all can do our part by deleting the unnecessary, unused data stored in the cloud. When it comes time for spring cleaning, include devices and cloud-based accounts.

This is just as important from an environmental perspective as reusing, reducing and recycling.

The need for data centers is not going away. So we all have work to do to ensure that data storage becomes sustainable for our communities and the environment. The time to transform is now.

Tom Gordy represents the Brentsville District on the Prince William County Planning Commission.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

County fitness employees shouldn’t have to pay to use fitness facilities My journey as a Prince William County employee began in 2017, while I was a member at Chinn Fitness and Aquatic Center, then hired to teach a spinning class there. I was given an employee guide of training, performance and certification requirements. My Chinn member fees were refunded, as I would be using equipment and classes to train, certify, perform and maintain my skills as a Chinn Fitness instructor.

But then, in 2019, a decision was made to reclassify some of us as part-time, non-benefited––or “provisional”––employees.

The reason for this is unclear to many workers like me but had a major impact on our work and on the services we provide every day to keep our community active and fit. Our free access to facilities, classes, training and equipment to maintain our skills and certifications was revoked and declared to be a “perk.”

This, on top of inconsistent pay and working conditions, is why provisional employees throughout Prince William County are insisting changes be made so that they can organize and join their union, SEIU Virginia 512, like their full-time co-workers.

I love my job and work hard to maintain my credentials and certifications so I can provide the best training for residents in the area. Soon after becoming certified as a spinning instructor,

I was asked to teach aqua classes. I participated in member classes to train in the Chinn pool in preparation for my certification as an aqua instructor. I am now a Prince William County Deep Water, Aqua and Spinning Fitness Instructor, and in March 2022, I was certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a personal trainer.

There is nothing provisional about our accountability to show up as scheduled and fulfill our required duties. We part-time, non-benefited employees maintain our required certifications, including CPR/first aid, blood borne pathogens, harassment trainings, and attend scheduled all hands meetings.

Requiring fitness instructors to pay a fee to access what we need to maintain a trained workforce creates an unsafe workplace, compresses our real wages and negatively impacts employee retention and attraction. All of these factors impact not only employees, but the many paying members of Prince William County’s Chinn and Dale City Rec Centers.

I’ve been out since last June, healing from traumatic injuries sustained in a fall and have recently resumed teaching, warmly welcomed back by Chinn staff and members. Reflecting on the changes made since I was hired in 2017 and the many times my family and I have been

well served by county parks employees and by the skilled library employees, I agree that we all have a shared need to fight the good fight and help Prince William County employees get organized to win the right to unionize and negotiate union contracts that would improve our jobs and the many services we provide in our community.

In November, we got a collective bargaining ordinance passed. It’s not perfect, but we have a chance to implement important changes so that all county employees, including myself and other provisional employees, have access to a union.

This is why provisional employees are urging the county to make the necessary changes to include all employees in the collective bargaining ordinance––so that we all have a voice on the job and the ability to negotiate improvements.

For fitness instructors, we need to be able to negotiate the restoration of full access to Chinn and Dale City training, classes and equipment.

Access to training equipment and classes for certified fitness instructors is an industry standard, not a perk. Prince William County employees are hungry for change, and it’s time to make that happen.

‘A safe place to land’

Deborah and Marcus Gregoire, of Bristow, have fostered more than 71 children through Youth For Tomorrow, a nonprofit in Bristow.

Migrant children continue to arrive in the U.S. daily. At the Gregoires’ house, the door is always open.

By Sondra Anzalone Contributing Writer

Deborah Gregoire, of Bristow, says being a foster parent is something she’s always wanted to do – ever since she herself was a child. It’s a goal she’s fulfilling in a big way. Since 2019, she and her husband, Marcus, have fostered more than 71 children through Youth For Tomorrow.

In the past year, the couple has taken only unaccompanied migrant children, often opening their home to up to four kids at a time.

“Our house is like a revolving door,” says Gregoire, 51. Kids can arrive just a couple hours after a phone call and stay from one night to two months.

The Gregoires (pronounced greg-war) don’t speak Spanish, but that hasn’t stopped them from communicating and bonding with their foster kids.

“We play a lot of Uno and use Google translator,” she says, demonstrating that simple question, “¿Como se dice?” while pointing to an object, is a great way to help kids feel like they’re teaching the couple Spanish while also helping the kids with their English.

“We’re the waiting room,” says Gregoire. “So, we try to make their stay with us as comfortable as possible.”

Youth For Tomorrow, a nonprofit in Bristow, is primarily a group home and private school for at-risk kids. But for more than a decade, it’s also served as a shelter and a foster care agency for thousands of migrant children, most of whom traveled to the U.S. on their own from parts of Mexico and Central America.

In 2012, YFT received a bipartisan request to help the rising number of unaccompanied minors.

To date, YFT has assisted more than 4,700 children from 27 countries, some of whom arrived impoverished, fled violence in their home coun-

tries or were at high risk of abuse or trafficking.

In 2020 alone, YFT placed 241 migrant children in local foster homes, according to its annual report. That number has been “steadily increasing” each year since, said Andrea Fontana, YFT’s assistant treatment foster care supervisor.

YFT is continually looking for families like the Gregoires to serve as foster parents for both migrant and domestic children, said Jermaine Johnson, YFT’s vice president of community-based services.

Johnson said he has worked with foster youth for more than 20 years, “and we’ve never had enough foster families.”

As of late 2022, YFT had about 30 foster families on its roster, Johnson said.

Most unaccompanied migrant children travel to the U.S. with plans to settle with a relative or a family friend who will serve as their guardian.

Foster homes are needed so children have a place to stay while U.S. immigration officials perform all the necessary identity and background checks to ensure each child’s ultimate destination is a safe one, which Gregoire said can be “a process.”

On average, the kids remain in their foster homes for about three to four weeks.

Having to stay with an unfamiliar family after a long and often difficult journey isn’t easy for the kids, she said.

“We’re seeing them on some of their worst days,” she said, noting that some of the children have experienced trauma and tragedies. Gregoire said she has found that doing seemingly simple things, like taking nature walks, helps kids feel a sense of comfort in a place where everything is foreign.

Helping the children feel safe is a big part of Gregoire’s job, from what she describes. “They’re not always sure what to make of us,” she says. Some open up quickly, like the girls who called them “Señor Papa and Mama Elsa,” she says, pointing to her light hair. which resembles that of the famous character from the movie Frozen. And some are reserved until their last days at the couple’s home.

The Gregoires give the children ample access to healthy foods because many have suffered severe food scarcity. They also make a conscious effort to respect their personal space and read body language to avoid triggering trauma.

“I’ve rocked many a child to sleep at night. ...

Nights are hard,” she says empathetically. Even children who are “too old to rock” almost always accept her offer to stay with them until they fall asleep.

Gregoire has also developed a routine for her foster kids when it’s time for them to leave their home, which involves making sure all their clothes are clean and neatly packed in a suitcase with a

“We want the kids to leave with dignity,” she said.

Gregoire said she remembers vividly how her first two foster children arrived in 2008. The U.S. born girls, now 23 and 21, came with dirty clothes, three used toothbrushes and their shoes jumbled together into a used grocery bag. The older girl was wearing hand-me-down boys’ underwear, Gregoire said.

“When your underwear doesn’t fit, it’s a rough day,” she added, empathetically.

Not wanting other children to endure the same, Gregoire said she ensures that every child who comes to their home receives and leaves with new undergarments, socks and seasonally appropriate clothing that fits.

After fostering the girls for six months, the Gregoires filed for adoption. “Parental rights had already been terminated prior to them coming to us,” said Gregoire. In 2012, the couple adopted a third daughter, now 11, who enjoys playing with the children the family continues to welcome into their home, Gregoire said.

Gregoire attributes much of her and her husband’s success to “having a good network of people.” On many occasions, neighbors and strangers have made donations such as clothes, stuffed animals, suitcases and backpacks – even at a moment’s notice. (She keeps an ample stash on hand.)

Prior to fostering children, Gregoire was a kindergarten teacher. She still teaches piano lessons on the side. She also recently became a grandmother and intends on helping as much as possible with the baby while remaining a foster mom.

With more than 407,000 U.S. children in the foster care system, there’s a tremendous need for people to open their homes and give kids “a safe place to land” until they can be reunified with their families, Gregoire said.

When people ask if they plan to keep the migrant children, she says she tells them: “Our goal is reunification—we don’t collect kids.”

She does, however, develop deep bonds with some of the children and said it can be hard when they leave, adding: “They’re worth getting attached to.”

‘WE’RE STILL NOT DONE’ PHOTO BY TED PROCTOR

Morgan State-bound senior 157-pounder Cooper Lockhart was one of four Battlefield region champions last week. States are Friday and Saturday.

Battlefield sending 10 wrestlers to Saturday’s state meet in Virginia Beach

By Matthew Proctor Special to the Times

After taking fifth at last year’s Class 6 state tournament, Battlefield High senior wrestler Cooper Lockhart is gunning for the top spot on the podium this coming Saturday at Virginia Beach.

“Last year I was nervous. I was just excited I made it to states,” Lockhart said. “I don’t just want to place. I want to go and win it.”

The star 157-pounder speaks for the entire talented Bobcats’ program, which looks like one of the favorites at Saturday’s meet in Virginia Beach.

Led by four champions, including Lockhart, Battlefield scored 222 points to win last week’s Region B championship, well clear of runner-up and host Woodbridge at 153.

The Bobcats now pivot to the state meet this weekend hoping to explode with a cascade of points. The Bobcats won the state title in 2018.

“We’re still not done. I think we still want to do something special next week at the state tournament. But it’s good to see us still working and still improving,” Battlefield coach Mike Spudic said.

Spudic thinks the Bobcats can win it all: “We need to make sure they understand that they need to believe. They need to believe in what they can do because the coaching staff believes it.”

Battlefield had ten wrestlers qualify for states, twice as many as last year. Lockhart, 113-pound regional champion Ryan Saunders and 165-pounder Ryan Gioffre are the Bobcats’ only returning state wrestlers, so it’s uncharted territory for most of the team.

First-time state qualifiers include regional champions Carter Harris at 132 and Logan Katz at 106. They will be joined by Matthew Arndt (126),

Alex Klos (175), Chris Montes (190), Abraham AlKhalil (215) and Joseph Lubinskas (285), who all finished in the top four.

Lockhart, a Morgan State recruit, won his second Class 6 Region B title by pinning Osbourn’s Adar Malik in the third period.

“Cooper is a very special kid,” said Spudic. “He still continues to impress us with his wrestling, but he’s also just a tremendous leader. A lot of this team’s success is because of what he’s been doing as a leader to get these guys working together.”

Lockhart won his first match 13-6 and his second on a third period pin. He was ahead 13-4 in the final before his pin ended the match.

Said Lockhart, “I just had to stick to my fundamentals, not letting the spotlight or the fact that it’s the finals get to me. I had to keep my composure, keep my head focused, and just wrestle smart and wrestle hard.”

ing the third in the 132-pound final against Hylton’s Wiley Harris, but an escape by his opponent made it 1-1. With just two seconds on the clock, the Bobcat landed a takedown scoring two points to win a miraculous regional title 3-1.

“I felt an urgency just to get to that shot. I got there and I hit it. It just worked out perfectly, just like my coaches wanted me to,” Harris said.

After failing to place in last year’s state tournament, Saunders is excited to get another crack.

“I’m ready. Last year I didn’t wrestle my best.

I’m ready to come out and just wrestle loose and wrestle hard,” Saunders said.

Harris, a junior, is eager to get back into the gym to prepare for his first states appearance.

“I just need to work on that shot because it’s probably the best thing I have going, and I believe it’ll get me everywhere,” said Harris.

Tense wins for Saunders, Harris

An emerging star at 106 pounds, freshman Logan Katz is going to states as a region champ.

Squaring off against Erik Gavares of Freedom (South Riding) in the finals, Katz took a commanding 7-0 lead before ending the match with a pin in final seconds of the first period.

“I just worked hard, stayed aggressive, kept pushing my shots and kept doing what I wanted to do. And eventually it paid off and I got the pin,” Katz said.

Making it to the state tournament as a freshman, Katz is focused on experiencing the moment and seeing what happens.

“I have the same expectations I’ve have all year and do the things I’m supposed to do. Go out hard, wrestle hard and aggressive. Wrestle my match and just hope the best comes to me,” Katz said.

In the two most exciting matches of the day, Bobcat sophomore Ryan Saunders and junior Carter Harris both won nail-biting championship bouts in the final seconds.

Saunders won his first two matches by decision to face Ty Beyer of Freedom (South Riding) in the 113-pound final. Trailing 1-0 entering the third, Saunders tied the match at 1-1 with an escape before a clutch takedown with five seconds remaining gave him the 3-2 win.

“I just kept working, I didn’t give up,” Saunders said. “I got the escape and takedown. Just came down to hard work in the room. The extra sprints, just the extra hard work I put in.”

On the other hand, Harris was ahead 1-0 enter-

Katz also reigns supreme

Riders at all levels can learn and play at summer horse camp. Expert riders can perfect upper level skills like jumping and turning while airborne, above left, to land on the correct lead. Beginner riders get hours of saddle time, above right, practicing balance and position basics like ‘eyes up, heels down.’, but skill drills are framed as games.

Summer horse camp is coming in hot

No experience? No problem, say camp counselors. Saddle up and give it a try

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier County horse country and summer camp are a match made in heaven, offering young people outdoor athletic activities that encourage learning new skills — and having lots of fun at the same time.

Neither horse nor riding experience is required for most camps, and many area stables offer “beginner weeks” so the focus can stay on the basics and safety rather than advanced techniques.

Barns usually try to separate campers according to experience first, age second.

Most camps have quiet school horses for all levels of rider; only a few camps require pupils to provide their own mounts.

“The best of all is to get a group of kids the same age and the same experience,” said Alice Johnson, district commissioner for the local Old Dominion Hounds Pony Club and owner-operator

Horseplay is the perfect method to forget the ‘learning’ element of riding practice and just make it fun.

of Copperfield Farm in Hume. “That’s the perfect way to really advance your riding if you’re a more experienced rider, and it’s the best way to just have fun if you’re a beginner.”

“Anyone that loves to be around horses, this will be a perfect summer activity. We offer a variety of sessions whether it’s your first time in the saddle or jumping a course of fences” added Picturesque Farm owner and manager Kristy Willwerth.

“Friendships and memories made at the barn are ones you will carry with you forever.”

Another proponent of the horsemanship — and life — education offered by summer horse camp is Isabel Martin of Look Up Equestrian in Hume.

“I think summer camps are a great opportunity to be fully immersed in horsemanship and intensive daily riding lessons while making lifelong barn friends,” Martin said. “After teaching riding camps for 20 years, I enjoy a mix of ages and levels at my day and overnight camps.”

Skills learned at a beginner summer camp usually include horse handling safety, grooming, saddling and tack care, mounting and basic controls in the saddle, precision work at the walk and trot, with an introduction to the canter if appropriate.

Most camps incorporate mounted games — from the most basic steering exercises and low-speed races and precision obstacles to the advanced level relay races, bareback riding and jumping without stirrups, or reins, or both.

“I can easily manage having kids at different experience levels at the same camp,” explained Journeyman Farm owner-operator Beth Rera. “There are sneaky ways to make it ‘harder’ for the better riders — take their stirrups away, or maybe just one stirrup, or maybe have them ride with only one hand on the reins. I’ve gone as far as to blindfold a really good

riding kid we had one year, and she had to ‘feel’ if her circle was precisely 20 meters, or if her halt was square and at the dressage marker, without looking.

“It was interesting, and fun, for her plus fun for the less experienced kids who were shouting directions to her to help her and lots of laughing.

“That’s what summer camp is about, mostly. Fun.” Even if a barn doesn’t advertise a summer camp, or offer the exact level for your child, one horse professional recommended, “just ask. You’ll almost always find that barn owners are delighted to share time with horses,” said Rera. “The summer days are so nice and long, and there’s tons of time and there are tons of ways to teach horsemanship skills and riding.

“Some weeks when we don’t have an official camp planned, that will be the only open dates for a client, or maybe a neighbor.

“That’s when I can get creative. I’ve often arranged something almost like a private ‘working student’ situation, even just a few days, and whether a kid is an expert or a rank beginner.” The only thing they’ll miss out on, she added, are the classic filler activities like art and fishing and just hanging out. “But that’s been something I’m happy to offer if it helps get a kid in the saddle.”

Most barns offer day camp – typically during working hours for parents, but some have an overnight option. “That’s my favorite camp, overnight,” Rera said. “The kids get so much out of literally living on a farm and learning how much of having a horse – or anything, really – is about working hard, sunup to sundown.

“Summer riding camp is about learning horse and horsemanship skills, but just as much it’s about learning responsibility and interpersonal relationships,” she said.

The youngest riders

Yvonne Bright owns and operates Thousand Hills Riding Stable in Delaplane. For years, she’s catered to a very special niche in the summer camp world – very young riders.

“This summer, our camps are for children ages 4 and up,” Bright said.

Half-day sessions run 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., yielding plenty of pony practice and some other activities, but not too long for still-developing attention spans and scheduled nap times.

New students must come for an introductory lesson prior to their week of camp, Bright added.

“This will give parents a chance to meet me and check out our stable.

I feel like this gives parents a sense of security knowing who I am ahead of time.” It also lends a sense of familiarity to the young campers, so they feel comfortable being dropped off on day one, Bright said.

Thousand Hills camp includes a mounted lesson each day, horse management lessons and crafts or games.

Like most camps, Bright is usually able to offer early drop-off or later pick-up.

Silver Eagle Stable near Nokesville invites kids ages 5 and up for summer camp this year, June through August. Unless the barn plans an

adept at tailoring riding and horse management lessons for a variety of experience levels in the same session.

Well-schooled horses are provided.

Day camps run 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Half-day camps run 8 a.m. to noon.

“All participants must wear long pants and a distinct heeled boot or shoe as well as a helmet,” Noakes pointed out, standard for any level equestrian. Riders may bring their own helmet or borrow one. “Camps consist of not only riding but learning about horsemanship, tack and grooming as well as horse-themed games and crafts while enjoying the company of others. Participants will learn a variety of riding styles,” including English and western.

Silver Eagle has an indoor arena, making riding, lessons and games possible even if it rains.

Picturesque owner Willwerth said that though their camp days are structured around daily mounted lessons, participants will also benefit from clinics and demonstrations, horse-themed arts and crafts, bareback riding and games, scavenger hunts, swimming and learning about horses from foaling to competing in high level showing.

“There’s nothing more fun than to spend your summer on horseback,” Willwerth said.

Camp activities include art, hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, mindfulness & yoga, waterfall walks, cooking nutritious campfire meals, library, STEM, and outdoor play. Throughout all our camp programming, campers learn to treat each other with kindness, use empathy, include others, and take care of the natural world.

Play with Mother Nature this summer

By Sondra Anzalone Fauquier Times Contributing Writer According to childmind.org, “The average American child spends about 4 to 7 minutes a day playing outside and more than 7 hours a day in front of a screen.”

Spending time outdoors isn’t just enjoyable — it’s also necessary. Many researchers agree that kids who play outside are happier, better at paying attention and less anxious than kids who spend more time indoors.

Less screen time and more “green” time can improve sleep quality and combat a variety of potential health issues, such as obesity, heart disease and vitamin deficiencies. The American Journal of Public Health published a study showing that children who spend time outdoors also show a significant reduction in symptoms of attention deficit disorders.

Time spent in nature also builds confidence, promotes creativity and teaches responsibility for the environment. Luckily, Virginia has many beautiful spaces where kids can enjoy spending time outside.

Here are a few opportunities close to home: Bull Run Mountains Conservancy Inc. is an independent nonprofit in Broad Run that protects and promotes the Bull Run Mountains through education, research and stewardship. As part of its mission, BRMC offers the following summer camps, located approximately 15 minutes west of Manassas. Check www.brmconservancy.org/ youth-outdoors-program for registration.

• Budding Naturalist Camp: Ages 4 to 6, full day; June 26 to 30. Campers are exposed to the outdoors and wildlife as they explore Hopewell Sanctuary (private), Leopold’s Preserve and Silver Lake Regional Park. The camp features discovery hikes, frog and salamander searches, stream exploration and nature crafts. The camp will be conducted completely outside, and one parent/guardian must accompany their child or children. Pre-registration required: $125 for members and $175 for non-members.

• Herpetology Camp: Ages 7 to 14, full day; two two-day sessions offered June 19 to 20 and June 22 to 23. Campers spend two days searching for and observing salamanders, frogs, lizards, snakes and turtles while hiking on the preserve. Pre-registration required; $100.

• Summer Nature Camp: Ages 7 to 14, full day; two one-week sessions offered July 17 to 21 and July 24 to 28.

Some of his favorite spots were Germany, Austria, Hawaii, Kuala Lampur, St. Kitts, St. Thomas, and the Mexican Riviera among others. Jim always had a soft spot for horses and dogs, especially Golden Retrievers.

He would jump at the opportunity to go horseback riding in the Adirondacks as a kid with his mother and sisters. Jim’s greatest love was spending time with his family. He was a caring and protective son and brother, and doted on his nieces and nephew.

In addition to his mother, Jim is survived by his sisters, Margaret “Peggy” Spiteri (Bob), Shannon Oliveri (Robert), nieces Katherine Mullins, Megan Funk (Kyle), Madelyn Oliveri, his nephew, Andrew Oliveri and his great niece and nephews, Mia, Easton and Callen.
