Quiet hallways, small classes greet returning students 22,000 students now attending Prince William schools 2 days a week

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

The hallways were still mostly quiet. Cafeteria lunch tables had been replaced with socially distanced classroom desks.

Classes were tiny, most with just five or six students each.

That’s what Dumfries Elementary looked like on Thursday, Feb. 25, the first day Prince William County schools welcomed fourth-, fifth-, sixth- and ninth-grade students back for in-person classes for the first time since local schools closed last March.

Despite the changes, fifthgrade teacher Hisham Rahmi’s fifth-grade class -- all five of them -- nodded their heads enthusiastically when asked if they were glad to be back in school.

“We get to see each other again!” said Ashley, one of Rahmi’s students, when asked what she liked most about returning to school.

Rahmi agreed, saying it was “exciting” for him to finally see his students “live in action” after months of interacting only over Zoom.

About 53% of Dumfries Elementary School’s students and their parents chose to return for in-person instruction, according to Principal Starr Granby. That’s a larger percentage than most Prince William County schools.

Throughout the division, only about 40% of students in grades fourth through 12th elected to attend schools in-person, said Diana Gulotta, school division spokeswoman.

An 800-acre data center campus, dubbed the “PWC Digital Gateway,” is under discussion for a string of properties in Prince William County’s “rural crescent” on land bordering the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

A group of “rural crescent” landowners has unveiled plans for an 800-acre data center development adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park that already has the backing of at least one Prince William County supervisor but is being opposed by local conservation groups.

If approved, it would likely be one of the largest data center deals in Prince William County history.

The proposal strings together 30 parcels of agricultural land owned by 15 property owners on Pageland Lane in the county’s designated rural area to be de-

veloped by a single data center developer.

All the properties are in close proximity to a Dominion Energy transmission line but outside the county’s data center overlay district, meaning the project will likely require a comprehensive plan amendment, a rezoning and a special use permit approved by the board of county supervisors.

Not all the parcels in the plan are adjoining, however. The campus would be located in two clusters along the Pageland Lane corridor, referred to as the north and south sections, where the development would occur.

More vaccine on the way

Like the rest of the state, Prince William is receiving more vaccine doses this week and will get an extra boost from Walmart, which will administer 2,400 extra doses at the former Gander Mountain store site near Potomac Mills Mall. Those doses will be administered over four days, from Wednesday, March 3 to Saturday, March 6, at a rate of 600 a day.

Prince William was chosen for the extra doses because of the county’s “low” vaccination rate, according to Dr. Danny Avula, who is overseeing Virginia’s vaccination efforts.

The Gander Mountain site will remain available after the Walmart event and can accommodate as many as 100 vaccination stations, according to Brian Misner, the county’s emergency management coordinator.

Meanwhile, Kaiser clinics and local hospitals will be distributing about 7,000 doses this week; the health department will administer 4,752 at three sites: Beacon Hall at George Mason University, the Manassas Mall and at Gander Mountain, Misner said.

Several local pharmacies will also be distributing doses, although Misner did not say how many had been allocated to them. Pharmacies offering doses this week include Safeway stores in Braemar, Cheshire Station and Merchant Plaza; the CVS pharmacy in Gainesville; and Giant grocery stores on Sudley Road in Manassas and on Dale Boulevard in Woodbridge, Misner said.

Board Chair Ann Wheeler acknowledged that the county has been criticized for not administering vaccine fast enough. She asked Ansher to be “flexible” and consider holding vaccination events at churches as more doses become available.

Wheeler also noted that vaccine hesitancy will likely become a bigger problem as vaccine supply grows.

“We have to do better,” Wheeler said. “And I know everyone’s trying, but we have to do better. We have to be flexible. We have to get as many places [giving shots] that we can at the same time. I think at some point there’s going to be so many doses available that we will be begging people to get shots in their arms.”

County board votes to advertise flat real-estate tax rate Average real estate tax bills could rise by up to $306

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted on party lines Tuesday to advertise local tax rates that, if adopted, will increase tax bills for county homeowners and data center users and create a new cigarette tax.

The advertised tax rate is a “ceiling” on the proposed tax rates that the board can consider. After advertising the tax rates, the board can choose to lower them before adopting their 2022 budget in April, but they cannot raise them higher.

The board voted 5-3 to advertise tax rates reflecting the rates proposed in County Executive Chris Martino’s fiscal year 2022 budget, which begins July 1, with the board’s five Democratic supervisors voting in favor and three Republicans voting against.

The rates include a real estate tax rate of $1.125 per $100 in assessed value that would keep the tax rate at its current level but would still add $306 to the average annual residential tax bill because of rising assessments; a hike in the in the business tangible computer and peripheral tax, also known as the data center tax, from $1.35 to $1.60 per $100 in assessed

value; and a new, 30-cent-per-pack cigarette tax.

The tax rates, as advertised, would support Martino’s $1.35 billion proposed budget, a $60 million increase over this year’s budget. The budget would increase spending for, among other things, six new police positions and 14 fire and rescue positions. It also boosts funding for the county’s social services and community services departments.

The proposed spending plan would also fund 3% pay raises for county employees, an initiative that was cut from last year’s budget as a result of economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The board’s three Republicans advocated for advertising a lower real estate tax rate of $1.052 per $100 in assessed value that would result in tax bills remaining at their current level. The proposal would reduce the size of the county executive’s proposed budget by $51 million but would still result in an $8.9 million increase over last year’s budget, according to county Budget Director David Sinclair.

Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, brought the “flat tax bill” proposal to a vote, but it was killed along party lines by the board’s Democratic majority.

Republicans on the board pointed to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased unemployment in the county and a huge uptick in the number of county residents seeking government assistance, as reasons to reduce the size of the overall budget and allevi-

County aims to double the size of police ‘co-responder’ program

Tim’s Rivershore fans ask supervisors for help, but county’s role is limited

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer

Several supporters of Tim’s Rivershore Restaurant and Crab House lobbied the Prince William County Board of Supervisors Tuesday to ask their help in saving the restaurant, but it’s unclear what power – if any -- the county has over the matter.

Tim Bauckman, owner of Tim’s Rivershore, thanked the supervisors Tuesday for referring him to county economic development officials, but said he understood their power is limited.

“I definitely want to stay in Prince William County,” Bauckman said.

“Now, we’re going to exhaust everything we can, legally, to try to stay in the county and do what we can.”

Bauckman announced Monday, Feb. 22, that his long-term lease for the restaurant would not be renewed.

Bauckman has owned the popular summertime hangout for 28 years but sold the property in 2007 to developers that predated Potomac Shores.

SunCal acquired the property in 2011, according to county land records.

Because the Rivershore is in a coastal flood zone, Bauckman said he was only able to make repairs worth 20% of the total value of the building after Hurricane Isabel damaged it in 2003. “[The federal government] wants buildings in a floodplain to go away eventually,” he said during a Feb. 25 Zoom call with supporters.

Potomac Shores wants a new restaurant at the site

Biddle Real Estate Ventures said last week it wants to bring a new restaurant to the site of Tim’s River-

ate some of the burden on county taxpayers. But, so far, none has addressed where the cuts to the proposed budget would come from.

“This budget is so tone deaf to what is happening in our economy right now,” said Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville.

Democrats on the board rejected attempts to advertise a lower real estate tax rate. Several noted that the advertised rate only sets a “ceiling” on the tax rates that could be considered by the board and that they can choose to reduce the tax rates before adopting a budget. Others raised concerns that lowering the tax rates would result in cuts to the proposed budget, including lowering the amount that is proposed to be shared with county schools under the county’s revenue sharing agreement.

The county’s revenue sharing agreement traditionally directs 57.23% of the county’s local, general fund tax revenue to schools. The proposed 2022 budget would increase the amount sent to the county school system by $34.6 million, a 5.5% increase over last year’s budget.

“As we talk about these lower tax rates for residential real estate, please come at us with programs you want to cut or other ways to raise the revenue. Because, frankly, there is a lot of stuff in this budget we should be funding,” said Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan.

“We expect to have positive news for local residents and the surrounding community in the coming weeks, including news about new restaurant operations and renovations to the waterfront location at Potomac Shores,” Biddle said in a Feb. 23 statement.

Whether the project will require any type of review by the Prince William County Board of Supervisors depends on what is proposed for the site. A special use permit, which would require supervisors’ approval, could be required for a use not included in by-right uses.

Tom Smith, Prince William County’s director of public works, said he couldn’t speculate if a special use permit would be needed without knowing more about the owner’s specific plans.

“If they replace the exact same structure, the board would probably not be involved. But if they make any significant changes, the board might have to approve a special-use permit. It depends on how significant the changes may be,” Smith said.

Generally, floodplain issues and building code reviews would not require the board of supervisors’ review or approval, Smith added.

A new county-run “co-responder” program that pairs mental health specialists with police officers to respond to mental health emergencies has been “overwhelmed” with mental health calls since the program launched in December 2020, according to Prince William County officials.

The police department received 272 mental health calls during the month of January, but “co-responder” units were dispatched in only 76 of those calls because of the program’s limited staffing, according to police spokesman 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok.

Now, Prince William County Executive Chris Martino is proposing to double the size of the program in the county’s 2022 budget to help police deal with the high number of mental health calls. The program is currently only in service Monday through Friday with varying shifts.

Programs funded by the budget generally go into effect at the start of the new fiscal year, which begins July 1.

The increase in staffing would allow the program to begin responding to calls on the weekend and expand weekday coverage. But it will not be enough to provide 24/7 service, Perok said.

The “co-responder” program is intended to de-escalate situations involving someone with a mental illness or a person experiencing a mental health crisis without the use of force, and to provide those individuals with the appropriate services and resources.

The program currently has three units that consist of one mental health specialist and one police officer. When responding to a call, the

Assistant Police Chief Dawn Harman speaks to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors in December about the need to expand the police department’s mental health coresponder unit. mental health clinicians who accompany police officers wear white polo shirts that identify them as “co-responder clinicians.”

Martino said during the board’s Feb. 16 meeting that the program has responded to 108 mental health calls since the program began on Dec. 7 2020. Of those, 68 ended with no hospitalization or arrest and 19 resulted in emergency custody orders in which a person was voluntarily admitted to a hospital.

Police used force in only one call in which the co-responder team was dispatched, Martino said. A co-responder team was on the scene when Prince William County police officers shot killed a 79-year-old man in Dumfries on Dec. 10 2020. The man was armed.

DATA CENTER, from page 1 Informally titled the “PWC Digital Gateway,” the plan is being spearheaded by two longtime rural area residents, Mary Ann Ghadban and Page Snyder, their real estate broker and an unnamed data center user. In an interview Friday, Feb. 26, Ghadban, who is also a developer, said the data center user is preparing to file an application with the county but she declined to name the company with whom they are working.

Prince William is among the counties with the largest concentration of data centers in the commonwealth. The huge, windowless, box-shaped buildings house computer systems critical for running the internet. They use large amounts of electricity and are often sited along major transmission lines.

Part of the proposed data center development would border Manassas National Battlefield Park, a federally protected park that spans about 5,000 acres.

Katie Liming, a spokeswoman for the Manassas National Battlefield Park, said Monday the National Park Service is “closely monitoring” discussions about proposed changes in the county’s land-use policies, including those along the western boundary of the park. Liming said the park service would provide a formal comment when an application is submitted.

The landowners and data center user are also proposing to fund a $40 million nonprofit foundation as a condition of the project’s approval that would directly fund county initiatives. Ghadban said the landowners have already discussed putting money toward a purchase-of-development-rights program, an office of energy and sustainability and county school needs, among other things.

The foundation would likely be the first of its kind in Prince William created as a condition of a rezoning application. It is unclear at this point exactly how the funds would be administered or whether the foundation would be a part of a proffer agreement.

The proposal for data centers in the rural area comes less than a decade after Ghadban and Snyder bitterly fought a plan to build the bi-county parkway between Prince William and Loudoun counties over concerns that it would have taken property along Pageland Lane without the consent of the landowners.

But after the bi-county parkway was shelved in 2015, Ghadban and Snyder said increased development in the area, including a 1,000-space commuter parking lot under construction near her property along Interstate 66, new residential development at Heritage Hunt and a 153acre data center campus on Pageland Lane approved in 2019, have since altered the area’s rural character. “[With] the pressures on Pageland Lane, it’s not rural anymore,” Ghadban said.

Ghadban and Snyder also pointed to the potential tax benefits as a major selling point on top of the $40 million proposed for via the foundation if the project is approved.

Increased competition for data centers

PHOTO BY ROGER SYNDER

Prince William is among the counties with the largest concentration of data centers in the commonwealth. Several have been constructed on Va. 234.

Local tax revenues from data centers have rapidly increased over the last decade. In 2020, data centers generated $64 million in local taxes and accounted for 94% of all capital investment in Prince William County, according to the county’s economic development department.

Loudoun County, which has been more aggressive in courting data centers, collected $423 million in local tax revenue from data centers in 2020, according to county officials.

Neabsco supervisor backs proposal

The proposal has already been endorsed by at least one member of the board of county supervisors’ Democratic majority.

Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, said in an interview last week that the project is a “magic pill” for generating new tax revenue that could be used to boost school funding while lessening the tax burden on county residents. And he said he hopes to get the proposal in front of board as quickly as possible.

Prince William County’s residential property tax is the sixth highest in Northern Virginia at $1.125 per $100 in assessed value. And while the tax rate has remained the same since 2018, tax bills have continued to climb every year because of rising real estate assessments. The board is still debating a tax rate for fiscal year 2022, which begins on July 1.

“If we can do something about our tax base and do something about generating revenue for this county, we should be wholeheartedly charging at that,” Angry said.

Angry also said he is in favor of removing the rural area boundary from the county’s land use rules altogether to allow for more development there, including more data centers. He is the first supervisor to advocate for eliminating the current rural area rules entirely, but did not say what policies he would support to replace them.

The rural area takes up about 53% of all county land. But of that, only about two-thirds is developable. Current county policy allows only single-family homes on 10-acre lots and does not allow access to public sewer. Its zoning rules have limited the population there to about 27,000 people while the population in the rest of the county, known as the development area, has ballooned to about 443,000 people.

Additionally, the county has started to run out of industrial-zoned land within its development area, a problem that has prompted some supervisors to ask the county to look for more areas for such uses, including the rural area.

Although Angry is the first supervisor to call for removing the rural area boundary, other Democratic supervisors have said they are open to incremental changes. Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac, has advocated for placing a data center within the rural area in her district near the edge of Prince William Forest Park, but has since backed away from the idea.

At-large Chair Ann Wheeler (D) said Friday that she would support adding more data centers “across the county” but declined to comment on this specific project. In the past, Wheeler has said she is open to allowing new industrial uses in the rural area under certain circumstances in an effort to attract new businesses.

Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, said she had spoken with the landowners about the data center proposal but had not yet made any decisions. Supervisors Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, and Bailey did not return requests for comment.

Republicans, conservationists oppose rural area data centers

The board’s three Republican supervisors have largely opposed any changes to the current zoning of the rural area. Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, on Monday called the proposal an “absurd development idea,” adding: “Even Loudoun County, the data center capital of the world, protects its rural area from this industrial use.”

Lawson has said in the past that she would not support adding data centers to the rural area over concerns that they could potentially require new transmission lines to come into the county and public sewer lines to be extended into the rural crescent.

Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, whose district would include the proposed data center project, did not return phone calls requesting a comment.

Conservation groups have begun raising concerns about the project’s impact on Manassas National Battlefield Park.

Kim Hosen, executive director of the Prince William Conservation

In 2017, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved a 10,000-acre “data center overlay district” along the county’s existing power corridors. It allows by-right uses for data centers, meaning data center applicants don’t need to go through a lengthy special-use permitting process to get their projects started.

But in the last year, at least two applications have been filed for data centers outside the overlay district, neither of which has yet reached the county board. Two more data center proposals outside the overlay and within the rural area, including the plan put forth by Ghadban and Snyder, have been discussed but no applications have been filed.

The issue has raised questions about how much land is left within the data center overlay district, and whether there’s not enough “viable” land in the district suitable for new data centers. But, so far, county officials have not been able to provide a clear answer about how much land is left within the area.

The county’s Economic Development Director Christina Winn said in an interview on Monday that the county is assessing how much land remains, but that the data will not be available for several weeks. Winn said assessing what land can be used for data centers is impacted by what land is for sale, the parcels’ size and topography and whether they are near the necessary infrastructure.

“It’s really about what’s available versus what’s viable,” Winn said. “...

When you look at the data center overlay, there’s a lot of small parcels that would need to be assembled to actually make a viable site.”

Winn said that data center users approach the county’s economic development department with proposals on “almost a weekly basis.” But she said the county cannot act on many of those proposals because what is available “does not meet the requirements of that data center project.”

The data center market is becoming increasingly competitive, according to Josh Levi, president of the Data Center Coalition, a data center industry trade association. Levi said that because of recent technological innovations, data center users in Northern Virginia no longer need to be near Loudoun County and are looking for land further south, including in Fauquier and Stafford counties, to site their buildings.

Asked whether Winn is concerned about data center users “leapfrogging” Prince William County to develop elsewhere if they can’t find viable land, Winn said the county would need to find ways to remain competitive.

“That need to be close to Loudoun isn’t really a factor anymore,” she said. “So, in short, the competition is a lot wider. And we’ve got to continue to maintain our competitiveness.”

is becoming more available – and state restrictions are slowly lifting – we hope to see more advertising as the economy brightens. Still, we realize that we won’t be able to provide and sustain a more robust news coverage without asking our readers to chip in toward the cause.

Those who already subscribe to the print edition of the newspaper, which now publishes on Thursday, will continue to have free access to all website content as well as to the digital e-edition of the print paper.

We made the switch to Thursday to get as much local news as possible in the paper in a timely manner.

When we published on Wednesdays, that wasn’t possible because the paper went to the printer just before the Prince William Board of County Supervisors’ Tuesday meetings, which meant some of our biggest news stories did not make the printed version of the paper until the following week.

All stories that appear in the print paper are posted to PrinceWilliamTimes.com each week.

There’s also numerous other stories that appear only on our website, as we can’t fit everything in the weekly print edition.

Please know we very much appreciate the support of all our readers and our community, and we hope you value our coverage enough to help support our efforts.

‘For the People Act’ goes too far House Resolution 1, dubbed “For the People Act,” is definitely not for all of the people. One progressive organization calls this a “once-in-a-generation reform package” that will “create a democracy that values the voices of all Americans; the environment, economy, education, racial justice, and health care… are all on the line.” That, in a nutshell, is the issue with this bill.

The 791-page monstrosity attempts to jam everything progressives care about into one excessive bill – starting with election procedures that silence the voices of many.

The bill, in essence, federalizes elections by imposing mandates on the states in violation of state laws. The bill makes it illegal for states to enforce their Voter ID laws; it requires automatic voter registration; online registration; same-day registration; no-fault absentee balloting; and the restoration of felon’s voting rights. These provisions often violate state constitutions, yet Congress has no authority to overturn a state’s constitution.

Aspects of the bill combine to eliminate “Election Day” and create “election season” to permanently ensconce the chaos seen in 2020: early voting; ballot boxes and requiring that states accept ballots 10 days after Election Day.

Precincts would be required to limit wait time to 30 minutes.

While this is an admirable goal, the bill simultaneously requires that precincts accept voters from outside the precinct, making it impossible to predict the number of voters to expect – and therefore, the number of ballots and poll workers needed at each precinct. Such uncertainty generally increases wait time.

There is one little phrase that ominously authorizes Congress to unilaterally reduce a state’s representation in Congress “when the right to vote is denied.” Who determines what constitutes a denial of the right to vote? Does a state lose representation if they “deny the vote” to non-citizens or those under 18? This vague phrase can result in citizens’ loss of representation; it isn’t “for the people.”

A monstrous bill that violates the principles of federalism and interferes with state laws that their citizens support does not deserve the “for the people” moniker. A more accurate name might be “for the Congress,” or perhaps, “controlling the people.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

After 3 years of trying, school lunch shaming is finally over in Va. On New Year’s Eve 2017, I spent six hours frantically researching every school meal debt and schoolmeal shaming state legislation that had been enacted around the country, while my family drank champagne and my in-laws played with my daughter, Hazel.

I came up with a bill that contained the best parts of every law I could find, plus a few ideas of my own, and emailed it to my delegate, Danica Roem, in hopes she’d give it a shot. She took it and introduced it without changing a word, I don’t think, and said: “Might as well go big or go home.”

That bill, House Bill 1477, failed profoundly in the 2018 session, and I left the committee hearing sobbing hysterically, believing I’d failed the kids of Virginia.

This week, two bills -- House Bill 2135 and 2013 -- mark the latest pieces of the failed bill to pass the Virginia House and Senate and to head to the governor for his signature. It took breaking House Bill 1477 up into pieces over the last three years, so bit by bit that crazy wish list could become a reality.

Now, that absurd list of my hopes for school meals is almost entirely new law in Virginia.

It only took three years, but students don’t get lunch shamed anymore. They aren’t denied the same, equal, healthy meal as everyone else, even if they can’t pay for it. And they’ll have more opportunities for after-school supper, as every public school that is eligible will have to participate in free and reduced-price meals.

Students won’t get a lousy alternative (lesser) meal if they can’t pay; their parents won’t be taken to collections over lunch debt; and kids won’t be stigmatized with a stamp or wrist band. Kids won’t get told they owe lunch money. Instead, it will be handled only with parents.

Charities like Settle the Debt are encouraged, and parents won’t be sued because they’re too poor to cover the cost of their child’s school lunch.

It’s a shame any of this legislation was needed in the first place, and it’s an even bigger shame that no one else tackled these issues years ago. But now, students in Virginia know they can rely on their schools for food without stigma -no matter what -- going forward.

Prince William County is requiring its football players and coaches to wear masks in games and has distributed them to county teams. “They attach to the face masks,” said Brentsville coach Joe Mullinax. “We don’t look at it as a hindrance but a stepping stone to what we love to do.” Among those pictured are No. 58 Ryan Stevens and No. 9 Beau Lang (far left), No. 11 Nick Griffin (near left), coach Joe Mullinax and staff (upper middle).

BRENTSVILLE FOOTBALL

Mullinax’s hard-working Tigers open 2-0

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

It’s hard to imagine a high school football coach stopping to smell the roses in the heat of a game, or aftermath of one.

But the pandemic has made Brentsville coach Joe Mullinax more philosophical, even touchy-feely.

Last week, after a Tigers’ home game, when “Country Roads” was played on the PA system, Mullinax

Ask the Arborist

Todd Hagadone Jr.

I.S.A. Certified Arborist Landscapes Challenged by Winter There are several things to look out for in your landscape during the harsh winter weather. The most obvious will be broken, twisted or hanging limbs in trees and shrubs.

High winds, snow, and ice can cause a lot of damage to trees during the winter.

Unsafe situations around trees demand first priority, as these trees can have large breaks and cracks in branches or the trunks.

Pruning branch ends to reduce load bearing capacity will help reduce likelihood of branch and stem failure. Subordinating large aspect ratio branches in relation to the parent stem will also help improve tree structure. Cabling and bracing can secure branches and trunks with cracks in certain situations.

Rapid and extensive temperature fluctuation during the winter can be very damaging to trees and shrubs. The plant species, conditions the plant is growing in, and location can all influence the severity of winter damage on plants.

What should you do to protect your landscape? Get in touch with a certified arborist who can inspect your property and provide recommendations. Some of the recommendations must be timed properly to be effective. If you miss the window of opportunity, it is closed for that growing season and your landscape will have to suffer the consequences.

instructed his players to soak in the vibes from the 1971 John Denver hit.

“I don’t talk over that anymore,” he said. “Now I want them to take in that moment. We will never again take these times together for granted. It serves as a reminder of what home is for us. Both Brentsville and football. And we’re glad to be back.”

The Tigers have opened 2-0 for the first time since 2016, pulling out wins over George Mason 21-12 and Warren County 22-8 with fourth quarter flourishes.

While Mullinax’s program may not be “older than the trees” like Denver sang, the school has ancient roots, having opened in 1929.

With an enrollment of about 1,000, semi-rural Brentsville is an outlier in gigantic Prince William County, dwarfed by Class 6 behemoths like 2,600-student Patriot or 2,900-student Battlefield in the nearby Cedar Run District.

SCHOOLS, from page 1 Still, the numbers mean Prince William County schools now have about 22,000 students attending school in person this week despite the county’s still-high rates of COVID-19.

Although cases have fallen significantly since January, the county is still reporting an average of 93 cases a day.

Superintendent Steven Walts, who sought to delay students’ return a few more weeks, visited Dumfries Elementary on Thursday, Feb. 25, and said he was encouraged by what he saw. In general, he said, things seemed to be running smoothly across the school division that day with no reports of transportation problems or too few substitute teachers, two things he said concerned him most about returning older students to classes last week.

During his visit to Dumfries Elementary, Walts got an on-the-ground view of the school’s COVID-19 protocols, which included plexiglass barriers in the front office and mounted on students’ desks, hall-

Operating in a quieter Class 3 bubble, Brentsville has carved out a niche. “We’re rarely the fastest team or the biggest team. Every year we send a few to play in college but we have to win based on being mentally tough,” said Mullinax.

Mullinax, in his fourth year, is preaching the virtues of working selflessly to accomplish team goals and being a good human being in the process. “What kind of husband, father and person are they going to be down the road,” he says. “That matters more than wins and losses and will be how I measure my success as a coach when my career is over.”

Mullinax feels he’s building something. Brentsville won the Class 3 Northwestern District title last year and shared the crown in 2017. “As far as the class of the district, it starts with us. We work hard for it. The kids know we have a target on our back,” said Mullinax, who views Skyline as

the biggest threat to repeating.

Quarterback Guy Hayes is the straw that stirs the Tigers’ offense.

A run-pass threat who signed with NCAA Division II Frostburg State, Hayes had over 1,000 yards both rushing and passing and accounted for 24 touchdowns as a junior. “It starts with Guy Hayes, he’s a tremendous talent,” said Mullinax of the returning district Player of the Year.

Brentsville has two other college-bound talents in receiver/defensive back Aidan Lawhead and running back/linebacker Jake Johnson, who’ll both attend Bridgewater College. “Johnson is the personification of mental toughness. The kids feed off that,” said Mullinax.

The Tigers won twice in five days last week, winning Tuesday and Saturday.

Brentsville will enjoy a full week of rest for Saturday’s game vs. Central (Woodstock) at 7 p.m. at Patriot.

He then headed to the cafeteria, where staff had just finished serving more than 80 lunches to students who’d arrived in waves to eat at socially-distanced desks, all facing the same direction to discourage socializing while their masks were removed.

CO-RESPONDER, from page 3 According to an investigation conducted

by Prince William County’s Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office, the man pointed his gun at police officers and said, “Shoot me,” before he was shot and killed by police. Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth determined the shooting was “justified and reasonable” after the investigation was complete.

The Dumfries shooting was the third Prince William County police shooting in four years, and the second death. In all three shootings, the victims were either experiencing a mental health crisis or substance abuse-related crisis.

And in all three, the victims were attempting to coerce police into killing them, sometimes referred to as “suicide by cop.”

The co-responder program has received bipartisan support on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. The board unanimously approved $900,000 in funding to launch the program in last year’s budget. So far, none of the supervisors has expressed any reservations about increasing the size of the program or the price tag attached to it.

Martino told the board that the program is “already being looked at as the model throughout the commonwealth for others to mirror.”

Prince William County is one of only seven Virginia counties, including Henrico, Virginia Beach, Rockingham, Alexandria, Fairfax and the Northwestern Community Services Board in Warren County, that has a mental health crisis response program.

The Virginia General Assembly approved the Marcus-David Peters Act during last fall’s special session that aims to implement a similar program statewide. The new law requires the creation of a statewide crisis response system, dubbed the mental health awareness response and community understanding services, or MARCUS Alert, that is staffed with mental health clinicians to work alongside local law enforcement when responding to mental health and substance abuse-related emergency calls.

The law is expected to take several years to fully implement. It is named for Marcus-David Peters, a 24-year-old, African American high school teacher who was shot and killed by a Richmond police officer in 2017 while suffering a severe mental health crisis.

Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com SCHOOLS, from page 8 Walts said his request to slow down the return-to-school timeline, which was ultimately rejected by the school board, was rooted in his desire to give school administrators more time to adjust between groups of returning students and to give teachers time to recover from their second COVID-19 vaccine shots, which most were receiving just as students returned.

But the Prince William County School Board, led by Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef, had other ideas. Lateef pushed to return students much earlier and in only two waves. Fourth-, fifth-, sixth- and ninth-graders returned Feb. 25 to 26, while the rest will head back this week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 2 to 3.

Since September, Prince William County schools have had more students attending classes in person than most school divisions in Northern Virginia. But the decision has not been without challenges. Hundreds of Prince William County teachers

and students have had to quarantine because of cases and exposure to COVID-19 in school buildings, and some have contracted the virus at school after catching it at school.

Saunders principal: ‘I’m in 3-D for once’

At middle and high schools, the school board’s timeline meant that sixth and ninth graders had the buildings to themselves last week. At Saunders Middle School, Principal Matt Eline took the opportunity to personally deliver lunches to all the sixth grade students in their classrooms as a way to say hello and get to know them.

At Saunders, only about 30% of the school’s 1,212 students elected to return to school in person, which meant there were only about 70 students in the building on Friday, Feb. 26. The day before, there were only 47. Across all three grade levels, about 355 students chose to return to school, Eline said.

“We decided for our sixth graders, who have never been in the building, we wanted to treat them a little

special and just come to them and introduce ourselves,” Eline said, as he pushed a metal cart loaded with trays of hamburgers, pizza sticks, oranges and cherry tomatoes down the school’s nearly empty main hallway.

When Eline arrived at teacher Julia Kelly’s social studies classroom, he was upbeat as he passed out lunch trays and cartons of milk.

“How are you? Are you having a good day? I’m glad you’re here,” Eline said to Kelly’s eight students.

“You guys see me on the announcements, but other than that, [you] haven’t seen me. I’m in 3-D for once.”

Eline, too, talked of the limitations of only interacting with students only online. He’d also made several changes to the school’s routines, including replacing the large tables in the cafeteria with individual desks, which students will begin using this week, and erecting roped stanchions in the hallways to divide traffic. Eline also positioned staff in the main hallway and outside the bathrooms to monitor students. Only one student is allowed in the bathroom at a time to ensure so-

COVID-19 protocols necessitated other changes, as well. Extracurricular activities and sports have been canceled. In band and chorus classes, students are not able to sing or play instruments unless their teachers can take them outside.

Eline said he wasn’t sure why so few students had elected to return to school except to say that families face different circumstances. The small numbers, he said, made the school feel different but also a bit easier to manage the students’ return.

“I mean, we’re used to 1,200 students, so having 47 kids come to the school is not a challenge. I mean, we got it,” Erline said.

“But, truthfully, in some ways I think it’s really special. It was so much fun yesterday. I mean, the smiles, even though you can’t see [faces], you can tell from their eyes, from their features, that people were so happy,” he said. “The staff was so happy to see the kids face to face.”

Louise was born in Arlington, VA to Margaret Broderick on March 1, 1928. She was raised by her aunt and uncle in Arlington, VA. She married Jake D. Swim on December 31, 1983, in Manassas, VA. Louise was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and a very hard worker for all her life. She worked as a custodian and retail clerk for many years. At 92, she was beautiful with her crystal blue eyes, sharp as could be, charming, smart, and very funny. Her personality undoubtedly made friends easily. She loved spending time with her dog, Princess, and was very involved in gardening and maintaining her yard and house. Her contagious laugh, smile, and determination will be remembered forever.

In addition to her mom and husband, Louise is preceded in death by her daughters, Nancy Dean and Patricia Zimmerman. She now rests and joins both, peacefully in Heaven.

Louise is survived by her Granddaughter, Shannan of Centreville, VA (Chad), Grandson, John of Nokesville, VA (Carrie), Granddaughter, Ashley of Indiana, and many Great Grandchildren that she loved unconditionally.

The family of Louise Swim would like to express our appreciation for all of the prayers, positive thoughts, phone calls, and many other acts of kindness shown.

Timothy John Shevlin Timothy John Shevlin, 55, of Middleburg, Virginia, passed away on February 19, 2021, after a long and brave fight with prostate cancer. Just as he handled all experiences in life, he managed his illness with strength and grace, and wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible. One his final day, he was surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Tim is survived by his love Debbie Castelhano, and his three children; Steven (28), Laura (25), and Shannon (23) Shevlin. Tim also had a wonderful relationship with Debbie’s two sons; David (34), and Justin (32) Castelhano.

He often visited David and his wife Danielle at their home on Lake Anna, soaking up every moment with his grandsons Greyson (3) and Gabriel (10), who affectionately called him “Papa Shevy”. Tim is also survived by his brothers Mike and Bill Shevlin and his sister Barbara Lee. Tim was preceded in death by his parents Dr. William Shevlin and Barbara Suchy as well as his brother Brian Shevlin.

Tim loved many things - grilling out, country music, growing vegetables in his garden, testing his luck with scratcher lottery tickets, and planning his yearly beach trip. He visited Emerald Isle, North Carolina every summer with the whole family, (dogs included!), where he hoped to retire one day with Debbie. Tim’s family will always remember him by beach sunrises, fresh crab dinners, and walks along the shore to hunt for seashells.

Beyond vacation and leisure, Tim loved spending time with his children, and grandchildren more than anything. He never missed an opportunity to have brunch with his daughters, host his grandsons for the weekend, or have Sunday morning phone calls with his son, Steven. He was often the designated driver for winery day trips where he welcomed his daughters’ friends as part of the family. He also enjoyed spending weekends attending football games at JMU where he showed off his custom cornhole boards and skills, crushing the competition at tailgates.

Tim spent 30+ years working as a Land Surveying Specialist at School & Townsend in Manassas, VA , where he made many close, lifelong friends who felt more like family than coworkers.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Prostate Cancer Foundation, 1250 Fourth Street, Santa Monica , CA 90401 or online at pcf.org.

She married Robert (Bob) Peterson on February 22, 1944 in the chapel at McKendree Methodist Church and they honeymooned at the George Washington Hotel in Winchester, VA. Their Faith, Love, and Commitment to one another endured an amazing 77 years !
