The “PW Digital Gateway,” a proposed data center corridor that could encompass 2,133 acres of mostly rural land in northwestern Prince William County, is close to Bull Run and Catharpin Creek. Both are tributaries to the Occoquan River and Occoquan Reservoir, which supply drinking water to more than 2 million residents of Northern Virginia.

Fairfax County officials want Prince William County to rethink the proposed “PW Digital Gateway,” which would replan 2,133 acres along Pageland Lane to allow for new data centers. Fairfax’s objections are based mainly on the effects of the development on the Occoquan watershed, including Bull Run, whose reservoir is a major source of drinking water for both Fairfax and Prince William counties. But a letter from the county includes “significant concerns” from its environmental, public works and planning departments as well.

In a six-page letter, Fairfax officials laid

out a series of objections to what would be a major land-use change for northwest Prince William County, one that would shift its current use from agricultural to data-center friendly. The letter is part of a collection of comments from more than a dozen agencies (see sidebar) that address a proposed comprehensive plan amendment to create the PW Digital Gateway.

The corridor, which could include up to 27.6 million square feet of new data center space, is being pushed by dozens of homeowners who hope to sell their properties along Pageland Lane to data companies for hefty sums.

It won’t be as big as initially hoped, but Prince William County could have a new mental health “crisis receiving center” as soon as early next year.

During the Prince William Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, March 8, Lisa Madron, executive director of the county’s community services board, laid out the most recent plans for such a facility, which would offer local residents immediate help for serious mental health crises as well as assistance with other mental health challenges, including addiction, depression and anxiety.

The facility would be staffed at all times with nurses and mental health clinicians and – most crucially – serve as a place where police officers could take residents placed under “emergency custody orders” or a “temporary detention orders” – legal designations for those considered a threat to themselves or others who must be placed in a secured environment.

Because of an ongoing shortage of beds at Virginia’s staterun mental hospitals, as well as limited space at privately run hospitals, an increasing number of people under ECOs or TDOs are spending hours or days at local emergency rooms accompanied by local police officers, Madron said.

County firms up plans for ‘crisis receiving center’ MENTAL HEALTH, from page 1 Such duties have become a drain on police resources. During 2021, Prince William County police dedicated the equivalent of 13 full-time police officers’ time either guarding people experiencing mental health crises or driving them to an available bed in a mental hospital somewhere in the state.

And that problem has only gotten worse in 2022. This year, the police department is on track to expend the equivalent of 17 full-time police officers’ time on such duties, Madron said.

“Individuals are boarding in emergency departments in local hospitals because there are no psychiatric beds,” Madron said. “This creates a lot of stress and chaos in our local hospitals.”

In each of the last two years, the county saw 962 residents placed under TDOs for mental health crises. In about 38% of the cases, residents had to be placed in mental health facilities outside Northern Virginia. The county has the highest out-of-region placement among neighboring jurisdictions, according to county documents.

State funding uncertain

Acknowledging the need for additional mental health services close to home, supervisors have been discussing opening a new crisis receiving center in the county for more than a year. As recently as last summer, it was hoped that the center could accommodate as many as 48 patients. The number was to include 16 adult and eight youth inpatient beds and an equal number of “recliners” for short-term psychiatric observation for both adults and juveniles.

In July, the ongoing annual cost of such a facility was estimated to be more than $17 million.

The expense would be offset by Medicaid and insurance payments, but since about 38% of Prince William County residents are uninsured – either because they don’t qualify for Medicaid or can’t afford private insurance – the county or state would have to make up the difference.

Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, had sought a $4 million in state funding split between startup and ongoing expenses for the new facility, but her budget amendment was revised down to $2.5 million for startup costs only. But that money is only in the House of Delegates’ budget, not the state Senate budget, Guzman told the Prince William Times.

“We have probably the largest waitlist in the state for mental health services,” Guzman said of Prince William County residents. “I wanted to ensure that people could get services. … In the House budget, the money is specific to Prince William County. We just need to ensure we have conversations with the other legislators and our federal delegation is helping with that.”

In recent weeks, U.S. Reps. Gerald Connolly, D-11th, Jennifer Wexton, D-10th, and Rob Wittman, R-1st, have all written letters in support of the funding.

But without more money for ongoing expenses, county staff is now recommending that the facility include only 16 beds – eight for inpatients and eight for observation up to 23 hours. All would be for adults only, Madron said.

The smaller facility is expected to cost about $5.3 million a year to operate. About $2.6 million is expected to be paid for through Medicaid and private insurance, while the county would have to pick up the remaining $2.7 million. Acting County Executive Elijah Johnson has included $2.7 million for the crisis receiving center in the budget he presented to the board last month.

The smaller size represents a “phased” approach for a center that could grow over time.

County staff decided to focus initially only on adults because there is greater need among that population, Madron said.

“Even though we do have a high youth population and need [for mental health services], we don’t have enough to justify the full 16 [inpatient beds] and 16 [shorter-term evaluation slots] at this time,” Madron said. “But I think if we build it, they will come over time.”

There are also other complications with combining youth and adult services in one facility.

Both need to operate separately – with separate entrances and separate staffs – to comply with state licensing rules, Madron said.

Supervisors expressed regret that the facility would not initially serve juveniles.

“There’s just not very many good options for parents with youth experiencing these crises,” said Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan.

Madron said that Loudoun County is also planning for a new crisis receiving center that will serve juveniles and is hoped to include at least six regional slots that could serve Prince William County youth, although that too has not been finalized, Madron said.

Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac, who has spearheaded the effort to fund and open a facility in Prince William, nonetheless called the phased-in approach a “win-win.”

“This has to do with all of us in this county … with healing minds and making this a better place to live,” Bailey said.

Facility search

County officials are still searching for an appropriate building for the crisis receiving center.

It is hoped that the facility might be located in the eastern part of the county in an existing building that is appropriately zoned and can be repurposed.

The county needs about $5.3 million in startup costs, money that would be cobbled together from federal American Rescue Plan Act money as well as state and local grants.

The center needs between 38,000 and 41,000 square feet. If all goes according to plan, the facility could be ready to open in early 2023, Madron said.

The facility will use the “Crisis Now” model, an approach developed in Arizona that combines a secure facility for those under emergency orders as well as help for those experiencing less severe challenges. Previous county and state-run mental health services centers, such as the now shuttered “Brandon House” that operated in Manassas, could not offer that range of services and thus were underutilized. Brandon House was closed to make way for a new facility with a broader impact, Madron said.

“It is a major shift for our county in crisis services,” Madron said, noting the county could not previously offer help to those with mental health challenges unless their conditions met specific criteria. A crisis receiving center, in contrast, offers a wider range of help.

“This is about saying, ‘Come on in; what’s going on? Can we help you?’” Madron said of the planned center. “And that’s such a change.”

Construction under way on long-awaited Rollins Ford Regional Park $9.4 million park is slated to open in fall 2023

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

Construction on Rollins Ford Regional Park, located in western Prince William County, got under way this week. The new park is expected to open in the fall of 2023.

The nearly 70-acre park is located between Rollins Ford and Glenkirk roads. The county acquired land for the park in 2006. After many years of delays, shifting visions for the park, and plan changes, work began on the park this week. The county budgeted $9.4 million for the park’s construction and has awarded a $8.3 million contract for the work to Dustin Construction, Inc., the same company that built the recently opened Gainesville High School.

Planned amenities include two large rectangular multi-purpose fields for soccer, lacrosse or football.

One will be natural grass turf, and one will be artificial turf.

There will also be a basketball court as well as a comfort station with restrooms. Park plans include covered picnic shelters for gatherings and approximately 200 parking spaces, according to county plans.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Monday, Feb. 28 for the longawaited Rollins Ford Park. Prince William County Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, members of local Girl Scout Troop 90006, Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, whose district contains the park, and Prince William County Parks, Recreation and Tourism Director Seth Hendler-Voss were on hand for the event.

The park will also feature a Prince William County’s Depart10,000-square-foot, Americans with ment of Parks, Recreation and TourDisabilities Act-compliant “desti- ism. nation playground” suitable for all The new park will also include ages. The barn-themed playground a dog park consisting of three will include upscale features and is 7,500-square-foot fields for furry estimated to cost about $800,000, friends and their owners. according to Brendon Hanafin, chief Park patrons will be able to exof planning and capital projects for plore the grounds or get some ex-

ercise on paved trails planned to surround the perimeter of the park.

There will be additional natural surface trails for planned native wildflower meadows. Birders will be able to take in the scenery at a bird blind overlooking the park’s pond.

The park’s total construction cost is expected to be about $9,375,406, which includes the Dustin Construction contract and an additional $915,406 in management and contingency funds, Hanafin said. The project is being paid for primarily through proffers paid in the Brentsville District, Hanafin said.

There’s just one hitch in the plans.

A planned “pump track” is on hold due to funding issues, Hanafin said.

Pump tracks are specialized continuous courses for bicyclists that are designed to maximize momentum to ride with minimum pedaling.

But all hope is not lost for the facility because Hanafin said the pump track’s construction, which is estimated to cost about $125,000 to $300,000, is just delayed -- not canceled.

“We are looking at funding opportunities. My hope is that it is completed with the rest of the project.”

NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

The Prince William County Government proposes to increase property tax levies.

1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property (commercial and residential), excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s total assessed value of property by 11.89 percent.

2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.9965 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.”

3. Effective Rate Increase: The Prince William County Government proposes to adopt a tax rate of $1.0500 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate is $0.0535 per $100 or 5.37 percent. This difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase.”

Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage.

4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total budget of Prince William County Government will exceed last year’s by 9.38 percent.

A public hearing on the increase will be held on April 12, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. in the Board Chamber of the McCoart Administration Building, 1 County Complex Court, Prince William, Virginia.

All interested individuals and groups are encouraged to attend and to submit comments. Sign-up sheets will be available in the atrium at 6:30 p.m. on April 12, 2022, for persons wishing to speak. Additional information regarding this public hearing is available from the Clerk to the Board of County Supervisors at 703-792-6600.

Fairfax County is concerned that data center construction will pollute Bull Run, a tributary to the Occoquan River and Occoquan Reservoir, which supplies drinking water to eastern Fairfax and Prince William counties.

PHOTO BY WIKIPEDIA COMMONS

Fairfax asks county to rethink data center plan DATA CENTER, from page 1 The comments will be considered by Prince William County’s planning staff, the planning commission and the board of county supervisors, which will have the final say on the proposal when it comes to them, likely sometime this summer. Deputy Prince William County Executive Rebecca Horner, asked in an email if the Fairfax comments carried special weight, replied, “We welcome all comments, and we treat all comments the same.”

During a Jan. 27 public input session on the gateway, a slim majority of speakers opposed it.

On Thursday, March 3, a three-hour session at Gainesville High School, ostensibly to collect citizen input on a proposed expansion of the county’s “data center overlay district,” an area where data centers are allowed by-right, morphed into a referendum on the Digital Gateway. About half of those who spoke about the gateway were in favor and half were opposed.

Like Fairfax, Loudoun County also commented on the proposal. While the county’s objections were milder than those of Fairfax, its planning and zoning director did voice concern over potential visual impacts created by a cluster of data centers on land zoned for large lot homes nearby in Loudoun.

The Sully District Council of Citizen Associations, an umbrella organization for homeowner associations in western Fairfax, also weighed in.

On Feb. 21, its land use and transportation committee passed a resolution stating that the gateway proposal is “inconsistent with environmental policy for protection of the Occoquan,” likely to damage the local transportation network, and incompatible with preservation of historic resources and the area’s rural character.

Opponent asks neighboring counties to weigh in

Fairfax County’s views apparently were prompted by an email exchange between Gainesville resident Bill Wright and Fairfax Board of County Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay, D-At Large. On Dec. 19, Wright, who opposes the digital gateway corridor, sent an email to McKay alerting him to the proposed data center corridor.

“Fairfax County has a stake in this too, since you are downstream of us along the Occoquan watershed,” Wright wrote. He noted that Fairfax was not on the original list of agencies invited to comment but urged McKay to do so.

“Continued protection of this watershed is of paramount concern to Fairfax County.”

BARBARA BYRON Fairfax County planning director

On Jan. 3, Wright sent a follow-up email to McKay, citing a letter from the Virginia Department of Forestry warning that development in the corridor, which contains 12.4 miles of streams, could destroy riparian buffers essential to the water quality of Bull Run and the Occoquan Reservoir.

McKay responded the next day, saying he and his staff would look into the matter. “While we cannot dictate how Prince William County develops its land, should any proposal have adverse impacts on Fairfax County, I would certainly voice my concerns to the appropriate decision makers,” he wrote.

Fairfax County: ‘Protection of this watershed of paramount concern’

Fairfax’s letter, sent Feb. 23 and signed by Planning Director Barbara Byron, makes clear that its objections are those of Fairfax County planning staff and not the board of supervisors. Still, the concerns are strongly worded and find fault with the proposal for a half-dozen reasons.

The letter notes that Fairfax has kept its western portion rural to protect Bull Run and the Occoquan Reservoir, which provides water for much of northern Virginia.

“Continued protection of this watershed is of paramount concern to Fairfax County,” Byron writes. Her letter states that industrial development and expansion of water and sewer into the area “would not be compatible” with the need to protect the reservoir.

She notes that Fairfax has designated the area on its side of Bull Run for agricultural or low-density residential use to preserve its wildlife habitat and rural landscape. She says the Digital Gateway would result in the removal of significant mature forests, resulting in loss of habitat for plants and wildlife.

Fairfax, her letter says, prioritizes tree preservation over new tree plantings. It suggests that new development be accompanied by an urban forestry program. And it says that development should be accompanied by a noise study, noise

baffles, noise mitigation and efforts to reduce light emissions.

On the water pollution front, she notes that creation of a 27.6 million square-foot data center cluster will increase impervious ground coverage and add more runoff and pollutants to the watershed -- something “not consistent with the policies of Fairfax County or the similar current policies of Prince William County.”

Fairfax, she notes, designated its side of Bull Run as a Water Supply Protection Overlay district to reduce such contamination.

Fairfax supports comments from Prince William’s Heritage Resources staff, which recommends a 200-foot buffer in the project area to minimize visual impacts, studies of potentially significant cultural sites and preservation of existing cemeteries in the area, she writes.

In its one positive finding, Fairfax says the data center district would only moderately increase traffic to and from Fairfax, and it found the proposed widening of Pageland Lane to four lanes “reasonable.”

But in sum, the Fairfax County staff said it “has significant concerns” regarding the impact of the plan and “encourages Prince William County to reconsider the proposal.”

Loudoun cites visual impacts

Loudoun County’s concerns were comparatively mild. Its letter, signed by acting Director of Planning and Zoning James David, took issue with the applicant’s characterization of nearby Loudoun development as high density. He said that the area in question is planned for low-density residential and non-residential uses, plus an existing quarry. He noted that eastern edge of the Digital Gateway zone is only one mile from the Loudoun border, which is planned for mineral extraction and large-lot neighborhoods. While Bull Run and its floodplain can provide a buffer between the data centers and the homes on large lots, Loudoun asked that Prince William consider the visual impact of the data centers on these homes.

Loudoun filed its comments on Jan. 20. In an email to Wright, Prince William County Senior Planner Bryce Barrett wrote that “adjacent jurisdictions” had been invited to comment, but a request to him to clarify went unanswered at press time.

Wright said he did not urge Loudoun to comment because “I didn’t think the effect was as great as it would be in Fairfax.”

County: Data centers’ tax revenue would fall short of projections

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Prince William County’s Finance Department is predicting that local tax revenue generated by a new data center corridor proposed near the Manassas National Battlefield Park will be substantially less than its proponents projected.

Prince William County Deputy Finance Director Tim Leclerc, in a letter to county officials, estimated the proposed “PW Digital Gateway” would eventually generate about $400.5 million in local tax revenue annually under current tax rates -- not the $700 million the project’s applicants estimate.

Under Leclerc’s analysis, local tax revenue would also grow slowly, rising from about $9.8 million during its first year of operation, to $204 million in 10 years’ time, and then to about $336.8 million in year 15.

But he said there are numerous variables. For instance, if the county increased its computer and peripheral tax from the current $1.50 per $100 in assessed valuation to $3.70, the local tax rate charged for other personal property, such as automobiles, annual tax revenue from the data center corridor could eventually reach $654.1 million. But he also said if the maximum build-out occurs, the finance department would have to add a minimum of 11 staffers for appraisals, audits and inspections.

Leclerc’s calculations cast a shadow on the sunny predictions of the PW Digital Gateway’s proponents, who are touting their plan as a way to generate significant new commercial tax revenues to pay for schools and public services -- and to reduce residents’ real estate tax bills. During a public meeting about the county’s data center overlay district last week, some supporters of the PW Digital Gateway seemed to think that the project’s tax revenue would reach $700 million during the first year.

Other concerns

The comments from the finance office were among several submitted in the past month to be considered by county officials as they wrestle with whether to approve the new data center corridor. Prince William County’s planning staff solicited comments on the PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment from 22 agencies and received input from 16, including at least two that were unsolicited.

Of the respondents, at least half – including the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the county’s Watershed Management Branch and the Virginia Department of Forestry – expressed opposition to all or part of the PW Digital Gateway application. Others, like those from the county’s departments of finance and transportation, questioned assertions made by the applicants, a coalition of landowners along Pageland Lane who would like to sell their collective 2,133 acres to data center developers.

On the positive side, the Prince William Service Authority said it could add water and sewer lines to the area, though doing so would require more studies.

Among those voicing strong concerns were County Archeologist Justin Patton. He takes issue with the applicants’ argument that transmission power lines along Pageland Lane have degraded the area’s rural quality, paving the way for a data center corridor. Patton states that if the land is replanned for data centers, the effect would be much worse, as data centers present a “high potential to adversely affect cultural resources” of the rural landscape while impacting the views west from the battlefield.

In a later letter, Patton, on behalf of the county Historical Commission, recommends splitting the parcel into south and north sections and keeping the southern portion as-is, or designating it for parks and open space. Data centers should be built only in the northern section and only after a survey of historical sites is done there. Also data centers should not be visible from the battlefield, Patton writes.

Following its strong initial response to the proposal, Manassas National Battlefield Park Acting Superintendent Rachel Montez reaffirmed the battlefield’s opposition to the so-called digital gateway, citing “its high potential to have adverse effects on the historic and natural resources within the park’s lands and surrounding areas.” She added: “The threats posed by this submission would do irreversible harm and negatively impact the park’s vast contributions to the community.”

The Virginia Department of Forestry, concerned about impacts of the digital corridor on the nearby Conway Robinson Memorial State Forest, complained in December that the proposal did not describe how the project would avoid or mitigate destruction of forests and agricultural land.

The applicants had replied that they would “make a priority” the creation of protected open space, restoration of resource areas, perimeter buffering of floodplains and more.

But on Feb. 16, Forestland Conservation Coordinator Sarah Parmelee commented again, saying that making these things “a priority” was a squishy promise. She asked that the applicants guarantee how much acreage would be forested, the width of wooded buffers and the amount of land to be placed in easements.

The county’s transportation department found fault with several parts of the proposal, but mainly with the widening of Pageland Lane to four lanes.

It added that the county does not have the funds to widen roads, that right-of-way would have to be purchased to widen the road, and that “it is unlikely that these improvements could be in place within the next 10 years.”

County plan pitches less density along the Occoquan River

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County officials planning staff are proposing to down-plan around 20,000 acres in the mid-county area in a move that would effectively create a protection area for the Occoquan Reservoir long sought by local civic associations and environmental activists.

The changes, outlined in a recently released draft of the county’s comprehensive plan update, would reduce by half the total number of homes that can be built on any remaining undeveloped land in the mid-county area.

The bulk of mid-county is currently designated as “semi-rural residential,” a land-use designation that allows one home per two and a half acres. The draft comprehensive plan would replace the semi-rural residential designation with a new “agriculture and forestry” designation that allows only one home per five acres.

“It down-plans that entire area, including a large part of the Occoquan watershed” within the county, said Rebecca Horner, Prince William County’s deputy county executive overseeing land use and acting-planning director.

The proposal appears to satisfy – at least in part – a longstanding goal of the Mid-County Civic Association to create an Occoquan Reservoir overlay district. Since 2010, the association has repeatedly requested the county down-plan the area bordering the Occoquan Reservoir to one home per 5 acres and ban infill development and redevelopment near the reservoir to protect its water quality.

“In some respects, this could take the place of [overlay district] if this is all done right,” Mid-County Civic Association President Executive Director Martin Jeter told Prince William Times.

Jeter said that, at first glance, “it looks like a net gain for mid county, because it looks like less density.”

But he added that he would need to see an accompanying zoning ordinance change following the comprehensive plan update to understand its true impact on the area. Jeter also said he has not yet heard from any mid-county landowners or residents who object to the proposed changes.

“The devil’s in the details on this one,” Jeter said.

Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, who represents the mid-county area, said she was “very pleased” to the down-planning included in the draft of the comprehensive plan’s land-use chapter.

“I’ve long been an advocate for sustainable growth policies. Especially in the mid-county area,” Vega told Prince William Times.

“It’s not a fair trade off. You’re protecting water quality closer to the reservoir while sacrificing the headwaters.”

Current pollutant of concern: road salt Whether the county needs an overlay district to protect the Occoquan Reservoir and watershed is debated.

Prince William County’s public works department conducted an analysis of the need for an Occoquan Reservoir overlay protection area in 2021 and concluded that, while further evaluation is needed, an overlay district reducing residential density would not address the most pressing environmental issue facing the reservoir: increasing salinity.

“Today, the main concern for the reservoir is increasing salinity, a common concern nationally,” Thomas Smith, Prince William County’s director of public works, wrote in a Nov. 22 letter to former county executive Chris Martino. “Staff does not recommend an overlay district to address salinity, the specific pollutant of concern for the reservoir, at this time.”

The amount of salt in the reservoir has quintupled since 1980, according to the public works department. The increase can be attributed primarily to “the application of road salts in the winter, … industrial discharges and down drain disposal of salt-rich consumer products,” Smith said.

The comprehensive plan update, known as the “Pathway to 2040,” is the county’s first comprehensive plan update since 2010. It provides a wide-ranging guide for future planning, zoning decisions and development in the county.

The proposed comprehensive update is expected to reach Prince William County’s planning commission and board of county supervisors for a vote this summer. Until then, many changes could be made to the proposed plan, county officials say.

Can schools ask students to wear masks to protect their high-risk classmates?

A federal judge says he’ll decide ‘quickly’

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

A federal judge heard legal arguments Monday in lawsuit challenging Virginia’s mask-optional law in public schools brought by 12 parents of students with disabilities that put them at a high risk for complications due to COVID-19. At the close of the hearing, Judge Norman K. Moon of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia indicated that he would issue a decision “quickly.”

Manassas mom Tasha Nelson, whose 10-yearold son has cystic fibrosis, and 11 other Virginia parents are suing Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and his administration to challenge Executive Order 2 and Senate Bill 739, both of which effectively ban mask-mandates in Virginia’s public schools. The plaintiff parents assert that those policies violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act -- federal laws that say public schools cannot exclude students with disabilities or deny them equal access to their education. The laws also require public schools to provide reasonable modifications to allow students with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from their public education.

The hearing was held in a video conference format and lasted 48 minutes. Judge Moon accepted two amicus briefs filed in the case last Friday, March 4, by the Fairfax County School Board and

Tasha Nelson, pictured here with her son, Jack, 10, is one of 12 Virginia parents challenging state’s new masks-optional law, known as SB 739, on the grounds that it violates federal laws protecting children with disabilities. the Fairfax County Parents Association.

Eve Hill, a partner at Brown Goldstein & Levy and one of the nation’s leading disability rights attorneys, argued on behalf of the plaintiffs. She focused her argument on the assertion that EO 2 and SB 739 wrongly ban mask-mandates in Virginia’s public schools under any circumstances without exception and provide no way for schools to protect students who might require their classmates

to wear masks to attend school safely.

“We challenge EO 2 and SB 739 because they forbid schools from requiring any student to wear a mask. They forbid schools even from talking about or asking students why they aren’t wearing a mask. And there are no exceptions to these laws.

The next time there’s an outbreak in a school, the school will not be able to require masks. The next time there is a surge in the community, the schools will not be able to require masks. So, we will be back to the bad old days when schools had to close in response to outbreaks,” she argued.

Hill described the plight of some of the students with disabilities who already are either unable to attend public school because it is only safe for them to do so when those around them also mask or are attending school but trying to distance from others by sitting at the teacher’s desk.

The discrimination the students with disabilities are suffering is irreparable harm, she said.

Hill argued that “blanket rules” such as the one created by EO 2 and SB 739 cannot stand under the ADA. As an example, she cited a case that struck down a blanket “no dogs” policy at a bar to allow a blind man with a guide dog to enter.

She also pointed to similar situations in which non-disabled people are regularly “inconvenienced” to accommodate those with disabilities, such as by not eating peanuts in the presence of someone with a peanut allergy and not parking in a wheelchair-accessible parking spot even when all other parking spots are full.

Further details on this hearing will be provided by subsequent Commission Order or Hearing Examiner’s Ruling.

• Further information about this case is available on the State Corporation Commission’s website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.

On November 15, 2021, Virginia-American Water Company (“Virginia-American” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application for a general increase in rates, together with testimonies and exhibits, and certain schedules filed under seal pursuant to 5 VAC 5-20-170 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (“Rules of Practice”) (“Application”). The Company filed its Application pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings. Virginia-American also filed a Motion for Protective Ruling in accordance with 5 VAC 5-20-170 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice.

The Company requests authority to increase its rates to produce additional annual jurisdictional sales revenues of $14,317,277, or a 27.60% increase over present pro forma revenues. Virginia-American states that this increase includes an annual water service rate increase of $11,565,880, or 27.35%, and a wastewater service rate increase of $2,751,397, or 28.71%. The Company indicates that this rate request is based on a 10.9% proposed return on equity.

Virginia-American asserts that, consistent with the requirements of Code § 56-235.11 and the partial stipulation in Case No. PUR-2018-00175, the Company is proposing consolidated tariff pricing in its Application for its water service rates to make the second step toward a consolidated statewide single tariff pricing (“STP”) tariff. Virginia-American states that its proposed rate plan would transition the Company to a consolidated rate structure through a reasonable, gradual and consistent methodology in compliance with the requirements of § 56-235.11 of the Code.

Virginia-American proposes to implement its proposed rates and charges on an interim basis effective May 1, 2022, subject to refund with interest based on the final rates and charges approved by the Commission.

The Company is not proposing any changes to its monthly minimum charges in the Alexandria, Hopewell, or Prince William districts, and is not proposing any changes to the monthly fixed charges for wastewater service. The Company is proposing to reduce the 5/8” and 3/4” meter charge in the Eastern district down to $30.00 consistent with the Company’s proposed second step in the STP process.

The proposed changes to the Company’s rates and charges for the Prince William Wastewater District result in the following revised rates and charges:

Additional information on estimated rate and bill impacts, including for commercial and industrial customers, may be found in the Direct Testimony of Charles B. Rea filed as part of the Application.

Virginia-American seeks approval of a Revenue Stability Mechanism (“RSM”), which is an automatic rate adjustment clause that would decouple Virginia-American’s recovery of fixed costs from volumetric sales. The Company asserts that the RSM is designed to align the Company’s revenues with the level the Commission uses to set rates in this case going forward and that it would address the unpredictable changes in volume of water sold due to factors beyond the Company’s control.

Additionally, the Company proposes an automatic rate adjustment clause to reconcile actual incurred uncollectible expense to the base level established in this case, with any variance recovered from, or credited to, customers over a subsequent period.

Virginia-American asserts that this will protect both customers and the Company from expected fluctuations and uncertainty with regard to its uncollectibles expense.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals.

TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents.

Dumfries to host first-ever expungement clinic

By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer

Getting a criminal charge expunged – or removed – from one’s record can be a costly and daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be.

That’s what Dumfries Vice Mayor Monae Nickerson said she found out when a family member who was criminally charged – but whose case was never prosecuted – looked into having the charge expunged. The family member’s lawyer said he could handle the expungement case for “discounted” fee of $1,200.

“I was flabbergasted,” she said.

Nickerson later learned about a Maryland town councilwoman’s expungement clinic and decided such an event could be useful for local residents. “[We] realized we have to bring this to Dumfries,” Nickerson said of herself and fellow Dumfries Town Councilwoman Selonia Miles. Both are hosting an upcoming “Expungement Clinic” for Dumfries residents on Saturday, March 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Dumfries Rescue Squad, 3800 Graham Park Road in Dumfries.

The clinic aims to be a “one-stop shop” for residents who have criminal charges they want expunged. The event is preceded by an informational webinar on Saturday, March 12, from 10 to 11 a.m. The webinar is designed to help potential applicants get an idea of what to expect at the clinic and to have their questions an-

swered, Nickerson said.

“They will know what’s expungable and what’s not,” she explained.

What’s an expungement?

Expungement is a process by which an individual who has been arrested and charged with a crime, but not convicted, can have police and court records of the arrest and charges sealed from public view.

The records are not destroyed but rather removed from public view and can only be unsealed with a court’s permission, such as in response to a request from a law enforcement officer, according to VALegalAid.org.

Expungement applicants must wait a year after their criminal cases are closed before applying for expungement.

The March 19 Expungement Clinic will be supported by the Dumfries Police Department, the Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, the Prince William Clerk of Court and the Prince William County Sheriff’s Office.

“The Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney plays a vital role in the handling of expungement cases that are filed in Prince William County. A petition for expungement is considered a civil action, and the commonwealth is the responding party,” Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney Amy Ashworth explained in an email. “Therefore, my office is required to review the petition and prepare and file an answer either objecting to the expunge-

Dumfries Expungement Clinic

What: A “one-stop shop” for local residents to get help clearing criminal charges from their records.

When: Saturday, March 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Online webinar preceding the event set for Saturday, March 12 Where: Dumfries Rescue Squad building, 3800 Graham Park Road in Dumfries.

ment or stating that we have no objection.

“We chose to participate in the clinic as a public service to our community,” Ashworth said.

The clinic Dumfries Vice is the first of its Mayor Monae kind in the Prince Nickerson William County area. If it’s successful, Nickerson said she would like to see it become an annual event and have it used as a pilot for other areas of the county.

Ashworth said she would “absolutely” like to see other such clinics held in the county.

“If someone is charged with a crime and found not guilty, or the charge is dismissed, having that charge remain on the person’s record can be detrimental to their pursuit of employment or other services,” she said.

Nickerson said she doesn’t know how many people in the Dumfries area could benefit from the clinic.

“I do know criminal charges are held over a person’s head -- and it impacts employment, higher education, financial aid, housing – all those kinds of things” she said. “And the reality of it is, Virginia does have a process that allows for non-convictions of criminal history to be removed, but the process itself is rather daunting, or you pay an attorney to do it for you.

“That it itself lets me know there is a need. Because there is cost affiliated with it, and it’s a daunting process. An educated assumption would be that communities [such as Dumfries], that are typically overlooked or underserved, would be the ones who would have the biggest need of this type of assistance,” Nickerson said.

Expungement process

During the clinic, applicants will go through the different steps of the expungement process.

First, they’ll meet with a Dumfries Prince William police officer, who County will access their Commonwealth’s criminal history.

Attorney Amy A pro bono attorAshworth ney will then look at an applicant’s record and give advice as to whether they are eligible for expungement.

Applicants will then meet with a representative of the Prince William County Clerk of Court’s office and receive an application for expungement.

Once that is complete, a representative Ashworth’s office will look over the application and determine if it meets the criteria and should go forward.

The cost to have a criminal charge expunged is $98. People who participate in the clinic will not need to take any additional steps after the fee is paid. Someone will reach out to them to let them know if their charges can be expunged, or whether there is a problem, Nickerson said.

The town is using social media to spread word about the clinic as well as distributing fliers in Dumfries neighborhoods and local businesses.

“We are focusing our efforts in the town of Dumfries, but we will try really hard not to turn anyone away,” Nickerson said.

Ashworth said if someone decides to pursue an expungement on their own, she advises they consult an attorney.

“The Virginia State Bar as well as the local Prince William County Bar Association have lawyer referral services that for a small fee can provide invaluable legal advice,” she said.

Manassas man pleads guilty to selling pills containing fentanyl

By Liam Bowman

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

A Manassas man has been sentenced to nearly 12 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to charges involving the sale of counterfeit prescription pills containing fentanyl, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Richard Perez, 26, of Manassas, pleaded guilty to multiple charges after he was arrested for selling about 1,000 fake pills to an undercover police officer. Perez was also convicted of illegally possessing a firearm. He was sentenced on Wednesday, Feb. 23 to 142 months in federal prison according to a joint news release from the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Perez pleaded guilty to distributing pills made to resemble oxycodone and Percocet but that actu-

ally contained fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. An estimated four in 10 counterfeit pills contain a lethal dose of fentanyl. In 2021, more than 20 million such fake pills were seized by authorities nationwide, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Relatively cheap and easy to manufacture, fake prescription pills containing fentanyl have become increasingly prevalent over the past year, according to the DEA. Perez first came under investigation in September 2020, when a confidential informant with Fairfax County police identified him as a potential drug trafficker, according to charging documents. The informant then messaged Perez via Snapchat to arrange a pill purchase with an undercover officer.

On Sept. 22, 2020, the informant and undercover officer met with Pe-

rez, who sold the officer 100 Xanax pills and 10 “Oxy 30s,” 30 milligram oxycodone pills. Perez and the officer then discussed a future pill purchase, and Perez “confirmed that the pills in question would contain fentanyl,” according to a court affidavit.

Over the following months, the undercover officer met with Perez another five times and purchased hundreds of “Oxy 30s,” which chemical analysis confirmed to contain fentanyl, the affidavit said. At each meeting, Perez arrived in a gray SUV driven by a woman, later determined to be his girlfriend, Kayla Land, of Fauquier County. Land was later charged as a co-conspirator and sentenced to three months in jail, according to plea agreement.

Additionally, as Perez and the officer arranged increasingly large pill orders, the two discussed the purchase of a firearm. Perez eventually agreed to sell the officer a

semi-automatic rifle—described in text messages as an “A-R jawnt”— in exchange for $1,100, according to court documents.

Can schools ask students to wear masks to protect their high-risk classmates?

MASKS, from page 7 In her closing, Hill said the plaintiffs didn’t bring this case because they “want to interfere with other people’s freedoms” or because “they have a political ax to grind.” She said they brought the case because the parents of the students with disabilities are faced with a stark choice forced on them by the state -- the health of their child or the education of their child -- and that’s untenable.

Defense: ‘Forced masking’ is not a reasonable accommodation State Solicitor General Andrew N. Ferguson argued on behalf of defendants Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) and the Youngkin administration. Ferguson asserted at the hearing that EO 2 and SB 739 should be upheld because they neither contradict federal law, and because the parents lack standing to

bring their claim.

Ferguson’s theme throughout his argument was to assert that masking is not a reasonable accommodation for any student in any situation. “We reject the presumption that universal forced masking could be a reasonable accommodation,” he said multiple times.

He further argued that the plaintiffs believe the only reasonable modification that would satisfy federal disability rights laws is “universally and indefinitely” forcing their classmates to wear a mask. Ferguson said defendants “firmly disagree.”

Conceding that the ADA requires schools to provide reasonable modifications to students with disabilities, he insisted that all Virginia public school divisions comply with the ADA. Then he said that no conflict exists between Virginia’s mask policies and the ADA because “nothing

Car fire sparks investigation Prince William County officials are investigating after a car abandoned in a wooded area behind a Woodbridge strip mall caught fire Monday afternoon, briefly sparking a wider brush fire.

Prince William County Fire and Rescue Department officials were called to an area behind Bungalow Alehouse, a restaurant in the 2800 block of Prince William Parkway, at about 2:30 p.m. Monday, March 7, in response to reports of a brush

fire. They arrived to find a car on fire in the woods. According to witness reports, the vehicle belonged to a homeless person, according to Assistant Fire Chief Matt Smolsky.

The fire quickly spread to the surrounding grassy area amid the day’s brisk winds. No one was injured in the blaze, however, and firefighters were able to contain the fire in about 30 minutes, Smolsky said Tuesday.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, Smolsky said.

in EO 2 or SB 739 interferes with the school divisions’ obligations under the federal disability rights laws.”

Ferguson urged the court to reject plaintiffs’ arguments because their “quarrel” is with the school boards and not the state. Ferguson opined that each of the plaintiffs should have engaged in the federally required “interactive process” under the ADA with their school divisions to hammer out reasonable accommodations for each of their students.

Ferguson denied that there would be any “retaliation” by the state against school districts that determine that masking is required in certain instances. But he cautioned that the genesis of the state’s new mask-optional rules came from the demands of parents in Loudoun, Fairfax and Winchester. Ferguson stated that all Virginia parents have the right to bring a lawsuit against a school district to enforce EO 2 and SB 739 to “protect their child’s rights” if their child is “forced to wear a mask against his or her will.”

Ferguson strongly urged the judge against issuing temporary injunctive relief blocking the operation of EO 2 and SB 739 because it would cause “widespread confusion across the commonwealth.”

As to standing, Ferguson argued that the parents lack the ability to bring their case because plaintiffs’ children have alleged only “speculative” injuries. Ferguson claimed that

it is impossible to foresee what ADA accommodations school boards will implement under the current COVID-19 posture in which the CDC no longer recommends “forced masking for 90% of the country.”

“Plaintiffs simply don’t have standing because they cannot show from anything – apart from speculation – that they’re likely to receive the relief that they’re actually requesting from the order that they’ve asked for from the court,” Ferguson said.

In response, Hill said parents have heard “over and over again” from school districts that they cannot even mention masks as part of the interactive ADA process of determining reasonable accommodations because of EO 2 and SB 739, not because of COVID circumstances have changed. “And we’d be happy to prove that.”

Hill emphasized repeatedly throughout her argument that, contrary to Ferguson’s claims, the plaintiffs are not asking for universal masking of all students in Virginia public schools indefinitely.

“My clients are not demanding that everyone in school wear a mask at all times forever,” she said. “They are seeking to not be denied the reasonable modification of a mask requirement to the extent a student with a disability needs their peers to be masked in order to be safe at school.”

Maryland man sought on child abuse charges Police are searching for a Maryland man charged with felony child abuse and other offenses in connection with an altercation at a Manassas residence over the weekend that left an infant girl injured, according to Prince William County police.

Officers responded at 3:20 a.m. on Sunday, March 6, to a residence in the 10800 block of Monocacy Way, a neighborhood near Prince William Parkway and Dumfries Road. A 30-year-old woman told police that she and a male family member had been arguing when he struck her multiple times, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman.

The man took the couple’s infant girl into a separate room. When the argument resumed, the man, while still holding the infant, “struck [the woman] several more times before he fell and landed on top of the in-

fant girl,” Carr said in a news release.

The man then fled the scene before police arrived, Carr said.

Rescue personnel transported the infant to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The woman reported minor injuries, the release said.

Jeffrey Alexander Escobar, 33, of Fort Washington, Maryland, is wanted on charges of child abuse and domestic assault and battery in connection with the incident.

Escobar is described as a Hispanic male who is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 185 pounds. He has black curly hair and brown eyes, the release said.

POLICE BRIEFS Woodbridge man charged after firing bullets into 2 apartments, crashing on U.S. 1, fleeing police A Woodbridge man is being held without bond in connection with a Feb. 25 incident during which he was charged for grabbing the neck of a female acquaintance, firing a gun into two adjacent apartments, crashing his vehicle on U.S. 1 and fleeing from police.

Police officers arrived at Bayvue Apartments, located in the 1200 block of Bayside Avenue in Woodbridge, at 1:51 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 25, after a resident reported that a bullet had come through the ceiling of an adjacent apartment. A short time later, a man was seen fleeing the apartment complex in a BMW, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokesman.

A police investigation into the incident revealed that the suspect and a female acquaintance got into a verbal altercation inside one of the Bayvue apartments and that during the argument, the man grabbed the woman’s neck. The suspect then retrieved a firearm from another room and “fired multiple rounds that entered two separate apartments” and fled the residence, Carr said in a news release.

Sometime later, responding police officers observed the suspect’s BMW and activated their emergency lights. The suspect refused to stop and continued onto U.S. 1, where he later lost control of the vehicle near Opitz Boulevard and struck two VDOT roadside poles. Following the crash, the suspect fled on foot before being taken into custody

by police on Reddy Drive, the release said.

While placing him under arrest, officers determined the suspect was intoxicated and had been driving without a valid license. Officer also recovered a firearm from his vehicle, the release said.

Nathan Ackles, 29, of Woodbridge, has been charged with three counts of shooting into a residential dwelling and one count each of strangulation, hit and run, destruction of property, eluding law enforcement, driving while intoxicated and driving on a suspended license in connection with the incident.

Ackles is being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center, the release said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No to the Bi-County Parkway Prince William County supervisors, how many ways can we tell you NO BI-COUNTY PARKWAY? We have fought this insane idea of turning our county into a speedway from I-95 to I-66 for many years.

Traffic is not good already, but it will be many times worse. The traffic will trap people trying to get out of their neighborhoods. The housing you intend to build along this road

is computer storage, not homes with green spaces, sidewalks, play areas and good egress and ingress to gentle, non-stressful access roads.

I’m asking, as are my neighbors who have lived here for 40 to 50 years, do not build this bypass that is a THROUGHWAY for trucks in our county. Thank you.

What the data center fight is really about: special interests Many following the story on the Prince William Digital Gateway proposal are missing the big picture. They may think it’s about protecting a battlefield, a state forest, a reservoir or even property values. Yes, those things are in the mix, but the real story is about how special interest groups corrupt local government. And that’s why people throughout Prince William County should be concerned.

The Pageland Lane area landowners have partnered with commercial realtors, data center developers, engineering consultants, marketing firms and lawyers to lobby the supervisors to rezone their property for maximum value. Zoning regulations exist specifically to limit the ability of individual landowners from altering the nature of their neighborhoods for selfish interest at the expense of the common good.

That is why rezoning decisions are

adjudicated by government, presumably equitably, and based on all relevant information. The rezoning process should decide what is in the best interest of the entire county, not just a few landowners. No one has a right to have their property rezoned simply because they have become disenchanted with what they bought or think they can cut a better deal for themselves.

When I first got involved in this fight less than four months ago, I initially focused on its superficial facets. But with each new revelation, I became more incensed with the depth of infection in our government processes. Look around. Every citizen of Prince William County should be very concerned with the compromised equity and influence of special interests on our local government.

School librarians change lives for the better On April 1, 1985, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) delivered the keynote address for the newly designated National School Library Month. In honoring school librarians, he stated: “I hope you know how important your work is.

You change lives for the better.”

These words ring especially true during these past few years of the pandemic. Our lives changed in a flash, and school librarians got innovative. Faced with school closures and the challenges of getting books into students’ hands, librarians were quick to figure out how to record and upload read-alouds and create engaging digital classrooms.

The adaptability and enthusiasm of our school librarians was integral in keeping students engaged by transforming the way that students connect with books. Ebook usage skyrocketed, with librarians digitizing choice boards with links to eb-

ooks and audiobooks. Some librarians created digital escape-room-style research challenges, while others highlighted a new book each day.

One librarian got together with the school bus driver to deliver books to students in their neighborhoods, and many crafted bookmobiles to deliver books to classrooms.

Co-teaching opportunities became abundant, as classroom teachers realized the value that librarians had to offer. Librarians made connections, both in and out of the classroom.

It is fitting, then, that this year’s theme for National School Library Month is “Connect with Your Library.” I encourage you to seek out a school librarian and thank them for their unwavering support of our students and teachers, and for changing lives for the better.

Are we listening??

Concerning the proposed development of 2,100 acres of agricultural land next to the Manassas National Battlefield Park for new data centers: Are we listening to what other agencies are telling us about the damage to the historic landscape, Civil War sites and fragile African American heritage sites?

Are we listening when the Prince William County Department of Watershed Management warns us about “extensive mass grading, wholesale clearing and flattening of large parcels each the size of several football fields”?

Are we listening when former Manassas National Battlefield Park Superintendent Brandon Bies says: “The intensive development of the Pageland Lane corridor is the single greatest threat to the Manassas National Battlefield Park in nearly three decades”?

Are we listening when the Sierra Club warns about the Conway Robinson Memorial State Forest and “ecological balance, water quality

and long term environmental and climate impacts of the proposed land use changes”?

I encourage the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to take some field trips. See the land in question. See all the land that is available WITHOUT using the 2,100 acres along Pageland Lane and near the Manassas battlefield.

Take a drive down Wellington Road, or even along Interstate 66 between Gainesville and Manassas or down Prince William Parkway.

If data centers can help the county, I want them placed in the data center overlay district first and then placed in safe areas AWAY from schools, residential parcels or national parks!

There is ample space only two miles south of Pageland Lane already waiting where ravaging the land will not be necessary.

Is commercial revenue worth destroying the land?

School reporting law will further systemic discrimination I am writing in response to the article titled, “Some Virginia parents concerned new legislation will lead to spike in student referrals to police,” published online on March 6. Reading the report incited frustration in me on behalf of the Black and Hispanic students I observed being punished far more severely than the white students in my schools growing up.

I believe reporting all contact students have with law enforcement officers at school will prove to be greatly detrimental to minority students. The fact that this legislation is still being passed, after several lawmakers have expressed concern over the bill disproportionately affecting minority students, deeply worries me.

Young Black, Latino and students with disabilities being report-

ed and set on the school-to-prison pipeline exemplifies the systemic racism and ableism that is deeply rooted in our schools. I feel that the free will of these young individuals are constrained by discrimination in society, leading them to struggle and be unfairly targeted by law enforcement when compared to white students. Social structures have limited the life chances of students of color, causing many to lash out and engage in negative behaviors.

I strongly believe that these individuals should not be harshly reported to law enforcement for small misdemeanors, as it furthers the systemic discrimination of students of color and increases the disproportionate number of Black men living in America’s prisons.

Group scream, anyone?

On Friday, Feb. 25, 13 people gathered outside Manassas Church of the Brethren to let it all out. Screaming, from left, are Pastor Mandy North, Luke Croushorn, Beverly Vogel and Karen Croushorn.

Manassas gathering lets it all out — pandemic stress, frustrations, sorrow

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

On a recent chilly evening in a field behind a Manassas church, a group of adults and children – some friends, some strangers – stood in a circle and screamed their frustrations into the wind. Group screams have been happening all across the country, but this may have been the first in the greater Manassas area.

It all started last month when Beverly Vogel, a longtime member of the Manassas Church of the Brethren, posted on her Facebook page: “Ladies, we need a group scream. Church parking lot? Who is game???”

Vogel said she got lots of interested responses, including from the pastor of the church, Mandy North.

North immediately responded, “I can meet you there. Tell me when.”

But North was both moved and motivated by Vogel’s idea and decided to do some research on “group screams.”

North, the first female lead pastor in the church’s 127-year history, discovered that group screams have been popping up around the country over the last few months. The first happened last year in Boston and was led by Sarah Harmon, a licensed mental health therapist, yoga teacher and mother. North said she was inspired by Harmon’s idea because screaming together in an organized way “allows a safe release of pentup frustration, anger and hurt.”

Since Harmon’s inaugural event, the movement caught on -- among mostly exhausted and overburdened mothers. A “mom scream” recently

Participants let loose during all four group screams. The raucous screams were filled with emotion. During the “name-your-frustration” scream, one high-pitched voice stood out. A child shouted: “I hate global warming!” took place in Roanoke, Virginia.

Soon, the hashtag #MomScream even went viral.

People in Manassas are feeling the same stress and anxiety that people are experiencing all across the nation, North said.

“There’s a national need. We’ve seen group screams popping up around the country. … The same stresses are happening in our own community around the pandemic, politics, isolation, losses, jobs, the economy. All those things are just piling up and I don’t think it really matters if you’re in Manassas, or where you are at in the nation right now.”

North approached her church board with the idea of hosting a group scream outside its church field as a service to the community. The church board supported the idea, and North announced the event during church services and even blasted out a public Facebook event to spread the word: “All are Invited! Group Scream! A safe space to scream because we all have something to get off our chest from these past two years.”

North said she wanted it to be as inclusive as possible, meaning the event should be open to anyone, not just congregants, and also, not just moms.

“A lot of these groups screams that are happening throughout our nation have been geared toward a ‘lady scream’ or a ‘mom scream,’” North said. “We decided intentionally to be more inclusive, and so we just called it a group scream. Men, women, children and any and all people were welcome. … I just don’t want to leave anybody out.”

Only one thing had to change with children participating was the infamous “profanity scream” included in most mom scream events.

That had to be nixed. Instead, North said that they offered participants four varieties: “a regular scream, a scream to name the frustration, a scream on behalf of all those who need to scream and can’t be there and the longest scream.”

“Of course, from the time that we scheduled this scream until the time it’s actually happen[ed], now, we’re seeing tensions around the world with Ukraine,” she added.

On Friday, Feb. 25, 13 people gathered on an open field behind the church to participate in the group scream. North welcomed everyone warmly and even had a basket of throat lozenges available for those with raw throats.

Letting everyone know that it’s okay to scream, and also okay not

to scream and just listen, North put nervous participants at ease. North thanked everyone for coming and reminded attendees that while the act of screaming is important to some, just being there is equally important.

“I guess folks could do this individually – go into the woods and just scream alone – but there’s something about a group scream that reminds people that you’re not alone, that people are screaming with you, and we want to let people know that there’s a community that cares,” North said.

Participants let loose during all four group screams. The raucous screams were filled with emotion.

During the “name your frustration” scream, one high-pitched voice stood out above the rest. A child shouted: “I hate global warming!”

Karen Croushorn, chair of the church deacons, participated with her husband Luke and their three sons. Karen said she supported the event because there are “just a lot of things to scream about” right now, and she wanted to support all the others who attended.

“It is easier to scream when you are not alone,” she said.

Luke said that he liked the concept of a group scream and was glad to support the church’s event because it’s healthier “to get your frustrations out in a place that is organized and safe.” “I am screaming about Russia and what they’ve done in Ukraine,” Luke Croushorn said. “ I’m worried that it will get worse in ways that we are not able to prevent.”

Vogel, whose post was the genesis for the event, said she felt better after screaming because the act “released her tensions.” Vogel said that it felt good to scream with others at the event. “I wanted to scream, but I didn’t want to end up in a padded room!” she said, adding: “I’d do it again.”

North said she believed that the group scream was a success because it created a healthy space for people to release their frustrations if even for just a moment. It is “possible that a group scream could be the safe space [for a person] to yell or scream, and then take a deep breath and step out of it far enough to then say, ‘Okay, now what can we actually do?’ So, it was a step to finding solutions and to vent in a healthy way.”

North stuck around after the event for more than a half hour to offer support to anyone who needed it ... a prayer and a listening ear. While not necessarily part of the recent mom screams, North said it was essential to her event.

“I think for people to come to a group scream, they’re stepping out of their comfort zone, and they’re making themselves really vulnerable.

When you’re brave enough to step into that vulnerability, and then you release a scream from that gut place, you never know what that could stir up inside of somebody. I think it would be a disservice … to stir that up in somebody and then not offer a safe place to land afterwards.”

Noting tensions and strife in our community as a result of political divides, North said her church members overcome these divisions to be one congregation, and the event was “just another example of modeling for the community what it means to be in community together.”

“If everybody’s yelling at one time, we could have two totally different political spectrums yelling their frustrations in the same space.

And what brings us together is that we’re all frustrated. We can at least find common ground that this was all very frustrating,” she said.

Fauquier Community Theatre presents ‘Noises Off,’ opening March 11

By Debra Smyers

Special to the Fauquier Times

“Noises Off” is pure comedy. The Tony Award-winning play is about a company of British actors who are quickly putting finishing touches on a show that’s about to go on the road.

The comedy within a comedy presents audiences with a unique look at theater, from backstage and onstage simultaneously.

“Noises Off,” written by London playwright Michael Frayn “presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called ‘Nothing’s On.’ Doors slamming, on- and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play” Concord Theatricals wrote.

“Noises Off” opened on Broadway in 1983 and is considered to be “A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, wellknown romp is festival of delirium,” according to The New York Times.

New director takes the helm of comedy at FCT Jeff Walker, director of FCT’s “Noises Off,” has directed more than 40 productions in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area.

Walker was seen in FCT’s virtual productions in the lead roles of Potter in “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” and Kellin in the comedy “Bad Auditions on Camera.”

Walker is a theater teacher and director at Edison High School in Fairfax County. He previously was the theater arts director and the division fine arts coordinator for public schools in Culpeper. Walker is also a part-time theater journalist and critic, most recently as a contributor to DC Theatre Scene and Broadway World.

Prior to a career in education, Walker was active as an actor and director in community and professional theaters in Virginia. Walker

Walker emphasized, “The set is always integral to traditional farce -multiple doors slamming while one character pops on and another dashes off, usually while in some sort of compromising position or danger! Kudos to designer and chief set builder Doug Barylski for starting early, planning the set and for being such an ingenious collaborator.”

While the set can be considered another character in the play, Walker says that the true craftspeople are the talented cast of nine actors and two understudies. “All of them have each been so game to try this, dig into the characters, juggle all the requirements and have been very supportive of each other. After the last two years, I think we all need some belly laughs and a little escape. Why not slip back to a simpler time, the early 1980s, and take a ride with us into hilarity?”

“Noises Off” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

BATTLEFIELD DROPS THE HAMMER ON PATRIOT, 55-54

PHOTOS BY DOUG STROUD

Hasan Hammad (No. 21) and the Battlefield Bobcats stunned Patriot 55-54 in Monday’s Class 6 semifinals and will play Hayfield in Friday’s championship game 2:30 p.m. at the Siegel Center in Richmond.

Senior’s stunning 3-pointer sends Bobcats to Friday’s state championship in Richmond

By Jason S Rufner Special to the Times

He knew it was going in as soon as it left his hand.

Senior Bryce Hammersley and the Battlefield Bobcats (20-6) had come from down 11 points at the half to finally give themselves a chance to beat their unbeaten rival, the Patriot Pioneers (26-1).

In the teams’ fifth meeting since mid-January - twice in the regular season and twice for tournament championships, all Pioneer victories - a chance at a first-ever state championship was on the line March 7 in the Class 6 state semifinal at Patriot High School.

Hammersley’s three-point shot from the left baseline banged through, giving Battlefield 55-54 lead with some six seconds to play.

“We go over in practice all the time, drive and kick,” Hammersley said. “I saw my teammate Has [Hasan Hammad] take it to the rack, so I faded out to the corner, and when I caught it I just let it fly. I knew it was going in right when I shot it.”

Patriot’s junior guard Nasir Coleman, the Region 6B Player of the Year, pushed the ball up the court to answer. He lost it going up for a short jumper and it flew loose.

Hammersley grabbed and hugged the rebound with both arms as the game expired. The Patriot faithful were stunned. The Battlefield side became ecstatic and rushed the

VCU Siegel Center, Richmond vs. Hayfield (31-0) court, mobbing their road warriors.

“The amount of time we put in, it’s just amazing to see your hard work come true,” the senior said. “I can’t even describe it.”

Game for the ages

After Patriot had upended their rivals by margins of one, six, 19, and 13 points over four previous contests, very little was secret between the two.

So it may have been expected that the teams would trade runs to an 1817 Bobcat lead after one quarter.

The game of runs continued in the second, as the Bobcats scored nine straight before the Pioneers ran off eight in a row for a 25-23 mid-quarter lead.

Patriot’s customary defensive pressure led to Coleman’s steal and reverse layup, then sophomore guard Dezmond Hopkins swished an open elbow three-pointer.

Coleman punctuated the first half, circling around to an open spot and drilling a three-pointer, giving Patriot its largest lead just before the buzzer.

New-look Jackets return to state final

By Jason S. Rufner

OP’s state run

Special to the Times

It’s not so much Xs and Os that led the Osbourn Park girls hoops team to its 50-37 win Monday over Thomas Dale in the Class 6 state tournament semifinals.

It’s the program’s culture that has the Yellow Jackets (26-1) back in the grand finale, just like last year.

“I would love to take credit for doing something genius, but all the credit is on this team,” said fifth-year coach Chrissy Kelly. “It’s their belief in each other and mental fortitude. They made the decision to go after it and they did.”

This year’s Jackets are different then the squad that made it to the state championship game in 2021, falling in the final to Madison.

“This group’s skill level isn’t as refined and that’s not a knock, just the reality,” Kelly said. “This group is hard-nosed, gritty, and scrappy. I believe that helps offset where we might struggle from a skills perspective.”

Senior guard Hailey Kellogg has lifted herself from a bit player last year to the Region 6B Player of the Year. Junior Alana Powell took advantage of increased minutes

-Quarters: W 59-35 vs. James River -Semis: W 50-37 vs. Thomas Dale -Final: Friday vs. Madison (26-2), 12:30 p.m., VCU Siegel Center, Richmond to make the All-Region 6B first-team.

Kori Cole has grown into a reliable scorer.

Danielle Darfour and Angelina Yann have become dependable defenders.

The Jackets travel to Richmond on Friday to face defending champ Madison. The Warhawks dealt OP its only defeat, a 53-35 loss Dec. 30 in Vienna.

“Where this group is the same is understanding the standard of the program,” Kelly said. “Being mentally tough is something we focus on every day. They understand that in order to achieve goals, you have to have the mentality that this is bigger than you.”

Hammersley on winning shot: ‘I knew it was going in ‘ BATTLEFIELD, from page 25 “We talked about it at halftime.

The season’s on the line,” head coach Randall Bills said. “You’ve got to leave it all out on the floor.

These guys responded.”

The second half opened slowly, as neither side found offensive rhythm.

Battlefield outscored Patriot 10-4 in the third quarter, edging to within five.

Within a minute of the final stanza’s opening, the state semifinal became a back-and-forth tussle. Bobcat senior guard Cam Lee stole it, setting up senior Chase Nelson’s putback.

Nelson then scored an old-fashioned three-point play to take the lead, but Hopkins answered with a steal and a bucket.

Partisans on both sides of the gym grew louder as the teams traded the lead through the 40s. Coleman drove to the rim for consecutive baskets for a 49-46 Patriot lead which evaporated when Ty Gordon got wide open for a layup off an inbounds pass.

With 45 seconds on the clock, Patriot senior Mike Ackerman sent the fans in red into hysterics when he nailed a three-pointer for a 54-52 lead.

But that set the stage for Hammersley’s heroics in the final seconds.

Another chapter in the rivalry

With a crack at a state title on the line, it was the most at stake in any game between the Bobcats and Pioneers.

Bills was pleased to finally get a win this season over his previously unbeaten neighbors.

“Patriot ran through everybody this year. Historic season,” the Battlefield coach said. “It was nice to have one more chance at them.

We knew we just had to shore up a couple of things and have the ball bounce our way, and we ended up with the win.”

A program first

The Bobcats’ reward is their first-ever appearance in a state championship game in boys’ basketball.

Bryce Hammersley (right) hit the biggest shot in Battlefield history, helping his Bobcats make their first boys basketball title game.

That’ll occur Friday at 2:30 p.m. inside the Siegel Center of Virginia Commonwealth University in downtown Richmond.

To win their first state title, they’ll need to solve another undefeated opponent, Region 6C champion Hay-

field and the Hawks’ 6-foot-6 point guard Greg Jones.

“We’re happy to be there, but we’re still not satisfied,” the veteran coach said. “We’re writing a book, and we have one more chapter to write.”

It is with great sadness that we report the loss of our mother, Billie Sousa, who passed away while she slept in the early morning hours of March 1, 2022.

At 92 years of age, her passing still cut short the joy she shared with all of her family and friends; friends which she held so dearly. We could not have asked for a better mother. She and Dad loved us and taught us to be our best. It was easy to return the love they shared. But there was discipline too.

Billie was born on July 5“, 1929 in Provincetown, MA to William and Maria (de Mello Silva. The childhood loss of her older sister was devastating, but Billie adjusted and learned to find happiness quickly.

She had a way of adjusting to difficulties. When asked, she was almost always ”fine“, throughout her life. And she told us little of her older sister.

She married Dad soon after graduation from Somerville HS and followed him throughout his military career, at times enduring long periods of separation, she also maintained the household and raised five children, the stories we have lived, because of them. We cherish those childhood memories of New England while living on Long Island, NY, in Portsmouth NH, and Bedford MA; with vacations on Cape Cod and family get togethers at nearby Grammy and Papa Joe’s, and Ahma and Papa Bill’s. In those younger years, they taught us right from wrong, and the value of family and friends.

Once again, but with only three children in tow, Billie and George set upon a new life in Northern Virginia in 1972. So, the greater part of her life has been here, Annandale, then Lake Braddock, Warrenton, and eventually Culpeper.

For several years, they enjoyed a beautiful home in South Wales, near Jeffersonton, and then later by herself. Mom has occasionally served her communities in volunteer positions, but has mainly been the homemaker that kept the family together, while George completed careers in the US Air Force, civilian service at the GAO, and as a homebuilder. The Arbors has been Billie’s home for four years and she is grateful for the many friends she has made there, and everywhere else. We too are grateful for her friends, but perhaps more so, to have grown up under the positive guidance of Mom and Dad. Mom is preceded in death by her sister Elizabeth (Betty), brother William (Buddy), and loving husband George, who passed in 2007.

She is survived by her five children Michelle Sousa, Gorgie Bigham, George Sousa, Jon Sousa, and Mary Monie; ten grandchildren Jennifer, Gregory, Christopher, Shannon, Garrett, Ruth Marie, Michael, Mathew, Dillon, and Connor; and seven great grandchildren Aeryn, Caroline, Spencer, Fred, Arya, Rowan, and Clark.

Billie will be interned at Culpeper National Cemetery next to her husband George.

Joyce Helen Shaffer

Mary Lee Poe

On Sunday, March 6, 2022, Joyce Helen Shaffer, loving wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully at the age of 79.

Joyce was born on November 14, 1942, in Johnstown, PA to Richard and Helen Cale. She graduated from Johnstown High School in 1960 where she played clarinet and was a member of the marching band. On October 27, 1962, she married Ronald Shaffer and moved to Virginia. There she and Ron raised two children: son Scott Shaffer and daughter Ronda Shaffer. Joyce retired from Exxon Mobil Corporation in 2005 after 20 years of service.

Joyce was a devoted mother and grandmother. One of her passions was watching her children do the things they enjoyed.

For Scott it was basketball and baseball, for Ronda it was softball and dance. Joyce could always be found in the bleachers or auditorium cheering them on with a huge smile on her face. As she got older, she shifted to watching her grandsons, Tyler and Nathan excel at their chosen sports. She was a fixture behind the backstop and in the bleachers at Kettle Run High School. Joyce and Ron also made several long road trips up and down the east coast to watch the boys play in various tournaments. One of her favorites was going to Cooperstown to watch Tyler play baseball.

When not watching her grandsons play sports, she enjoyed time with her friends in the Red Hats Society and always jumped at the chance to pet sit for her Grandpups.

Joyce was preceded in death by her father, Richard Cale, and her mother, Helen Ober Cale.

She is survived by her husband Ronald, her two children, Scott and Ronda, daughter-in-law Tammy and two grandsons Tyler and Nathan Shaffer.

A funeral service will be held at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton, VA on Sunday, March 13, 2022, at 4:00 PM. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, please send a donation in her name to the Kettle Run Athletic Boosters at 7403 Academic Avenue Nokesville, VA 20181, Attn: Julie Kuhlburg.

OBITUARIES Barbara Cross Graham Barbara Cross Graham, 84, passed quietly in the presence of family on March 4th at her beloved farm estate in Purcellville, Virginia. Ms. Graham was born May 27, 1937 in Leesburg, Virginia, the daughter of the late Samuel Oscar Graham and Frances Cross Ballenger Graham.

Throughout her life, Barbara was a horse trainer, breeder and acclaimed equestrian, known amongst her circles as honest, straightforward, loyal, and full of wit. She was deeply respected for her generosity of spirit; Barbara openly shared her knowledge of training and riding with the world, and quietly supported dozens of people as they “got on their feet”– both in the best times while chasing dreams and opening new stables, and through the toughest times of overcoming addiction and hardship. She also bestowed the love of horses in the hearts of generations of her family and people near her.

Among her many accolades as a nationally renown horsewoman, Barbara was former President of the oldest hunt in America, Piedmont Fox Hounds, and winner of countless prizes as owner, trainer, breeder and rider, including the Maryland Million and The First Flight Handicap in New York. She is most remembered though, for her great care of people, horses, her home and her barns.

Surviving are a son, Shannon Rofe and two grandchildren of Tennessee; a sister, Nancy Dillon of Philomont; ten nieces and nephews as well as 24 great- nieces and nephews; and longtime farm manager and friend, Roberto.

Barbara’s eldest sister Gail Graham Mann preceded her in death– the family finding joy and solace that the two, best friends and neighbors all their days, are now together again at the kitchen table.

A graveside service will be held 11:00 AM Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at Ebenezer Cemetery, Loudoun County, Virginia with Mr. R. K. Shirley III officiating.

Charles Edward Shepherd, III Charles Edward Shepherd, III passed away, way too soon, on March 1, 2022, at the age of 74. Born on August 14, 1947, in Warrenton, Virginia, Charles was a proud and lifelong Warrentonian who embodied all that is right in the world and the authentic spirit of a small town. A true southern gentleman and objectively, the best dressed man in Warrenton, Charles could often be seen dapperly strolling down Main Street, ascending the steps of the post office, grabbing a meal (almost daily) with a friend at Frost Diner or enjoying a Turtle Sundae on a warm summer day at the Carousel. The Beatles and Elvis were among his favorite musicians but any song with a catchy rock-n-roll beat would do! In addition to being a music fanatic, he was passionate about trains and vintage cars. His prized Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 was the cornerstone of the annual Warrenton Father’s Day car show...yes, he was the only owner and all the parts are still original!

Through the years, the Shepherd roots have grown wide and deep throughout Fauquier, and it would be hard to find a person in town whose life was not touched in a positive way by Charles. Preceded in death by his parents, Charles E. Shepherd, Jr. and Frances Anderson Shepherd, he valued family and traditions, proudly sharing the rich Shepherd history with anyone who was interested. He loved holidays, especially Christmas, and was a regular at Grimsley’s Christmas Eve party. Granddaddy was the spirit and magic of Christmas to his grandchildren. He proudly carried the torch for the annual Shepherd’s eggnog party and was a steadfast guardian of the prized Shepherd family eggnog recipe. Yes, Charles, we promise to make eggnog this year and every year at Christmas...drip, drip, drip! He passionately instilled his love of the Outer Banks in his children and grandchildren during annual trips to OBX, often sharing family stories while making homemade ice cream on the porch of the beach house.

Charles is survived by his devoted wife of 47 years, Cheryl Hanback Shepherd; two children including his namesake, Charles E. “Chap” (Sharon) Shepherd, IV; his daughter, Melissa “Missy” Pawlak; sister, Lynne Koval; nephew, Christian Koval and two great nieces, Makayla and Morgan Koval. Granddaddy leaves behind three adored grandchildren, Max (20) and Aidan (16) Pawlak and Charles E. “Quinn” Shepherd, V (11) to proudly carry on his legacy, traditions and impeccable sense of style.

Charles was well read and well educated. He graduated from Fauquier High School in 1965 and went on to study at Emory & Henry College, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1969. He had a full career at the Rappahannock-Rapidan Heath District where he was a friend, colleague, mentor and leader to so many and all around just a great guy! He retired as the Environmental Health Manager after 45 years of service. He formed life-long friendships along the way and remained active in High School reunions and committed to regular luncheons and meet-ups with the “boys.”

Constantly willing to help a friend or a stranger for that matter, his door was always open with a cold drink (or a glass of eggnog during Christmas) and some M&Ms at the ready for anyone who stopped by. He listened and would look you in eye when he talked, always walking you to the door with a wave and a smile as you drove away. He was kind, thoughtful, generous and selfless when it came to sharing his time and talents. He was patient, tolerant and optimistic. He could find the good in just about any situation and was always there to pick you up. He was the rock to so many and the glue that held so much together.

Charles will be remembered for the twinkle in his eye, his gentle laugh and mysterious smile hidden behind a meticulously polished mustache! May we never forget and always share with others what we loved most about Charles. Always remember to play in the puddles when life throws you a rainy day, and when we struggle to understand why Charles is gone, may we take a page from the Beatles and “Let it Be.” Rest in peace our loyal Shepherd, until we meet again. We love you.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, March 10 from 4:00-6:00 PM at Moser Funeral Home where a memorial service will be held on Friday, March 11 at 3:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Fauquier SPCA, PO Box 733, Warrenton, VA 20188.

Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com.

VIRTUAL INFORMATION MEETING ADVERTISEMENT Route 1/Fraley Boulevard Widening From: Bradys Hill Road (Rte. 1109) To: Dumfries Road (Rte. 234) Potomac Magisterial District The Prince William County Department of Transportation in collaboration with the Town of Dumfries will conduct a Virtual Information Meeting for the Route 1/Fraley Boulevard Widening (from Bradys Hill Road to Dumfries Road) from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Thursday, March 17, 2022. The event will be streamed live virtually through the link posted on the Prince William County Department of Transportation website at: https://www.pwcva.gov/department/transportation. Formal presentation will start at 6:30 PM and will review & highlight the major design updates to the project since the Design Public Hearing previously held by VDOT on October 18, 2018, with an intent to inform the public of design changes and improvements made as Prince William County took over administration of this project.
