Battlefield objects to building heights proposed for Digital Gateway County planner says viewshed analyses are missing from application

The Manassas National Battlefield Park is strongly objecting to a developer’s proposal to put buildings up to 75 feet tall in the Prince William Digital Gateway, a massive new data center corridor slated for more than 2,100 acres north and west of the park.

“The Park’s highest priority for the preservation of the viewshed is to have the buildings not be visible from park lands,” wrote acting park Superintendent James Bailey in a February letter to county planners.

Bailey noted that a Comprehensive Plan Amendment passed by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors on Nov. 1, 2022, limits buildings to 45 feet in two zones closest to the park, unless the developer can show they would not be seen. Bailey said the QTS PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD

After 75 days at a wildlife hospital, a bald eagle was recently released back into the wild at the Valley View Cemetery in Nokesville, which provided a clear takeoff point close to the farm where the bird was discovered injured and unable to fly last winter.

When the eagle was found in early February, her injuries were severe. The bird suffered a fractured skull, a broken wing and had a high

and its neurologic issues resolved, she said.

“We were thrilled with how steadily her mental status improved, though over a lengthy time frame,” Riley said in an email to the Fauquier Times.

During her stay at Blue Ridge, the eagle was first treated in a small indoor cage and then gradually moved to a mid-sized outdoor flight cage and then to the hospital’s largest flight cage as staff prepared her to be released, Riley said.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved a $3.02 billion budget for fiscal year 2024 Tuesday that will keep real estate tax bills nearly flat while hiking the tax rate for data centers, moves that will allow raises of at least 18% for the county’s first responders, including police officers, firefighters and jail workers.

“In this case, because the found address was a heavily wooded area, and we wanted her to have a clear line of sight, we chose a more open area within a quarter mile,” Riley said.

The eagle will likely stay in the area, Riley said.

“As an adult, we expect she already had a mate who may or may not have moved on (while she was away),” Riley said.

Riley said the eagle “will have to focus on finding her own food again.” Then she can work on “possibly creating a new life for herself, finding a new mate.”

Over the two and a half months the eagle was at Blue Ridge, “all of our staff contributed to her recov-

She also credited the center’s many volunteers who kept the eagle fed and cleaned her living space each day.

Release day is a “very happy day for all of us,” Riley said. “Our staff is always excited to get these birds home. That’s why we do what we do!”

School board to move forward with weapons-detection systems

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William County School Board is moving forward with a plan to outfit all 35 of its high schools, middle schools and non-traditional schools with high-tech weapons-detection systems to scan students for guns and other weapons on an everyday basis starting next school year.

Superintendent LaTanya McDade presented a plan during the Wednesday, April 19 school board meeting to install “Evolv Express” detectors, which use artificial intelligence, from late August through the end of September. The school board took no votes during the meeting but is slated to do so on May 3.

The school division would lease the security systems for four years at a cost of $2.98 million for the first year and $2.58 million for the second through fourth year of the contract for a total cost of $10.7 million, according to the school division.

The school division also anticipates a cost of $725,000 to provide staff with stipends to arrive an hour before bell time to assist with screening, according to Vernon Bock, the school division chief of operations.

While the school division’s recently approved $1.6 billion budget did not include funding for the Evolv systems, the money will be available due to an uptick in the county’s revenue forecast for fiscal year 2024, which begins July 1, John Wallingford, the school division’s chief financial officer, said at the meeting.

“I fully support the recommendation by Superintendent Dr. LaTanya McDade to adopt the Evolv weapons detection system for all high and middle schools,” School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef (at large) said in a statement issued after the meeting.

During the meeting, Lateef said he had heard of “no opposition” to the plan from his fellow school board members, and in the statement added: “The school board intends to approve these systems and implement

The proposed lease will include 81 Evolv systems, all of which are portable and plug into existing electrical outlets. High schools would receive five units: three to cover three entry points into the schools, one outdoor unit to use at football games and one spare unit. Middle schools would receive two units to cover two entry points.

All entry points with the equipment will be monitored by staff while students and staff enter the building at the beginning of each school day, but only the main entrance will be monitored as people come and go throughout the day, officials said.

The school division introduced the Evolv Express systems to schools and the community throughout the last two months by holding three in-person and one virtual community forum to allow community members to see how the system works and to offer feedback. The company lent a model to the county for six weeks for demonstration purposes.

Battlefield objects to building heights proposed for Digital Gateway DIGITAL GATEWAY, from page 1 rezoning application for its data centers shows “blatant disregard for the CPA,” and demanded it be redone to address his objections.

In an interview Tuesday, Bailey reiterated his concerns. “From the standpoint of the park, we don’t understand why, right off the bat, they want to change all of the heights that were set by the CPA,” he said.

In his letter, Bailey had written that even buildings 45 feet tall might be too high, “as it is possible a 45 (foot) building will still constitute an adverse effect and impact on the park’s historic integrity.” Bailey said he was skeptical of siting some taller data center buildings farther from the park as well.

The objections are contained in a file of comments from 21 government agencies and other organizations reacting to three rezoning applications for projects known as Digital Gateway North, Digital Gateway South and Compass Datacenters Campus 1. The first two are to be developed by QTS Data Centers, and the third by Compass, whose application was filed by H&H Capital Acquisitions.

Together, the rezoning applications seek permission to transform about 1,600 acres of homes and small farms into what would become one of the largest data center corridors in Virginia. The area’s remaining 500 acres are slated to remain open space, according to the overarching CPA the supervisors approved for the development last fall. Gateway South consists of two separate zones that abut the park on its northern and western borders. Gateway North is roughly a mile and a half north of the battlefield. Both are being developed by QTS. The Compass properties cut a broad swath north and west of the park, starting a quarter mile away and running to a point three miles distant.

The CPA allows for different building heights in the three different areas, with those farther from the battlefield – such as Digital Gateway North -allowed to be taller. Still, Bailey objected to proposed building heights there as well, noting that the CPA allows no more than 85-foot-tall buildings there, while QTS proposes up to 100 feet.

QTS says in its application that “height suitability is under evaluation.” But Bailey noted that no analysis is provided. He asked that structure heights be coordinated with battlefield management.

In a statement, QTS said Tuesday, April 25 that its team had met with battlefield staff, the county’s archeologist and county planners last month – presumably after Bailey sent his letter – “to provide a detailed overview of its viewshed analysis.”

Bailey, however, said Wednesday, April 26 that the meeting he recalled did not change his mind.

“After that presentation, we have the same concerns,” he said.

The QTS statement, from spokesman Nick DeSarno, also said QTS plans to submit an “extensive viewshed study and additional supporting materials” to the county Friday, April 28.

At a QTS event in Woodbridge Tuesday evening, project attorney Antonio Calabrese elaborated. He said QTS would change its application to propose that the buildings closest to the battlefield would be no taller than 60 feet. The buildings themselves would be 43 feet tall with an additional 15 feet of rooftop equipment. Calabrese said the company’s viewshed analyses would show that the data centers would not be seen from the battlefield except from one point in the park – and QTS would plant trees to screen that view.

Still, even if QTS conforms to the 45-foot height limits, not everyone will be happy. County archeologist Justin Patton noted that one modeled analysis in the comprehensive plan showed that even 35-foot-tall structures “will be visible from various observation points” on the battlefield.

Mary Reiley, who lives near the Manassas battlefield, speaks during a protest of the Prince William Digital Gateway held Tuesday, April 25 outside a Compass open house in Gainesville.

“The applicant does not propose how to mitigate adverse effects to the landscape of the Manassas Battlefield Historic District,” Patton wrote in a March 31 letter to QTS. Christopher Perez, the county’s principal planner for the QTS project, also objected to the 75-foot-high buildings. In comments filed on March 31, he wrote: “What is proposed is not consistent with the CPA policies.”

Perez noted that the CPA allowed for buildings taller than 45 feet, but only if a viewshed analysis shows there would be no impact on park views.

No such analysis had been submitted, Perez said in an April 24 email. But he said QTS had promised one would arrive in its next application submittal. He had called the analyses “critical to the review of the project.”

Compass, the other data center developer involved in the project, submitted a preliminary viewshed analysis. In his comments about the Compass application, the acting battlefield superintendent noted that according to the model, 90-foothigh buildings will be visible from one park location near the Brawner Farm. For this reason, he opposed a request from Compass that buildings be allowed to go as high as 100 feet, “given the increased possibility of adverse effects.”

In March 2022, then-park Superintendent Brandon Bies sent a letter to the planning commission and the board of supervisors stating strong opposition to any CPA that would allow a massive data center development near the park. Bies said he had “grave concerns” about “potential irreparable harm” from the data centers, especially on views.

But with the supervisors’ approval of the CPA approved in November 2022, after a highly contentious process, it was left to the next acting park superintendent Bailey to comment on the rezoning applications. (A new park superintendent, Kristofer Butcher, took office April 24. He could not be reached for comment by press time).

Still, it was concerns about the visibility of data centers from the battlefield and from nearby residential areas that moved the county to require that developers do viewshed analyses to support their building height plans. The CPA contains some examples, modeling the places where data center buildings ranging 35 feet to 105 feet would be visible.

Perez, the county planner, also said that while a viewshed analysis is not required for Heritage Hunt, which borders the data center corridor on the west, he recommended it be done. Compass did include a Heritage Hunt visual analysis, but there is none in the QTS package.

Bill Wright, who lives in Heritage Hunt and

has actively fought the data center development, wants to see one.

“What makes it important is that putting an industrial development right next to a residential area -- and a retirement area to boot -- is an incompatible land use. So, if they’re going to do it anyway, I think that they should require a viewshed analysis at least to minimize the impact.”

Concern over impacts to Civil War gravesites

Several Compass zones are close to land owned by the American Battlefield Trust, which could be listed on the national Register of Historic Places, according to Patton. Patton wrote that viewshed analyses should be done for those properties as well.

Patton had other concerns about the projects and their effects on the battlefield and its environs. He said archival documents indicate that Confederate soldiers camped on Pageland Lane after the first battle of Manassas, and soldiers died in those camps from measles. While there are no records as to where they were buried, he wrote that it should be assumed they were buried on site.

He asked that the developers modify their zoning applications to reflect the lengthy and detailed processes required in state regulations for archaeological evaluations, reporting and mitigation if sites are disturbed.

The Prince William County Historical Commission recently asked that the Digital Gateway South project delineate cemeteries and survey military sites. It asked that both QTS and Compass identify areas for the reinternment of discovered human remains and provide a contractor to oversee the handling of remains.

In their applications, both Compass and QTS said they will comply with all federal and state laws governing removal and reinternment of remains.

The Prince William County Historical Commission has long been opposed to the data center project. On September 13, 2022, the commission voted to recommend denial of the CPA. With the passage of the CPA, the commission was asked to comment on the rezoning applications.

In its most recent comments, it asked QTS, whose Digital Gateway South is closest to the battlefield, to “provide a detailed description of how to mitigate the destruction of the battlefield landscape and historic resources.”

In its April 25 statement, QTS said the company “looks forward to continuing a productive partnership as we work towards deploying a thoughtful development strategy that will preserve the historical significance and aesthetic beauty of the area.”

Man charged in Dale City quadruple homicide indicted for raping one of the victims

Expanded in 2023

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

A 25-year-old Woodbridge man who was arrested and charged last October in connection with a quadruple homicide in Dale City was recently indicted for six additional felonies in the rape and murder of the youngest victim: Karrie Ayline Sotelo, 19.

All four victims – Miguel Duran Flores, 44; his wife, Kelly Victoria Sotelo, 42; Karrie Ayline Sotelo, 19, their daughter; and Richard Julio Jesus Revollar Corralles, 36, their tenant – were found dead in their Mansfield Court home on Oct. 17, 2022.

David Nathaniel Maine, 25, an acquaintance of the couple’s adult son, was arrested and charged with four counts of second-degree murder shortly after the bodies were discovered by police. Maine rented a room in the home. He called 911 at about 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 17, 2022, to report the victims and then fled on foot. Police found him a short distance away and took him into custody, police said at the time.

Police initially said the deaths of three of the victims -- Flores, Kelly Sotelo and Corralles -- were caused by gunshot wounds, but they did not reveal the cause of Karrie Sotelo’s death, saying it was still under investigation.

On April 3, Maine was indicted by a Prince William County grand jury for six felonies in connection with Karrie Sotelo’s death, including aggravated murder in commission of abduction; aggravated murder in commission of rape; first-degree murder; abduction with attempt to defile; rape; and forcible sodomy, according to court documents.

None of the six charges involved the use of a firearm, court documents show.

The grand jury also upgraded Maine’s charges in the other three killings from second- to first-degree murder. In all, Maine now faces 13 felonies in connection with the victims’ deaths.

The quadruple homicide rocked the family’s Dale City neighborhood and the larger community of Peruvian immigrants that call Prince Wil-

liam County home. The couple had immigrated from Peru several years ago and had only recently married.

They rented their Dale City home and lived there with their three children: an adult son and two daughters, ages 19 and 13. They also had two tenants: Maine and Corralles.

The adult son and the 13-year-old daughter were not home at the time of the killings, police said.

Back in October 2022, Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham said investigators had established “a working theory” that Karrie Sotelo was killed first, but they had not yet determined exactly what happened and when.

Police and first responders found a door to the home ajar and walked in to find all four victims, all of whom were pronounced dead on the scene. The bodies were found in different areas of the home, but police declined to offer more specifics.

Newsham said investigators recovered a weapon in the home they believed was used in the shootings.

Maine is described as indigent in court records and is being represented by attorneys in Prince William County’s Public Defenders’ office.

Maine has waived his right to a speedy trial, and according to court records, is scheduled for a threeweek jury trial beginning on April 22, 2024.

Supervisors OK 18% raises for first responders in 2024 budget SUPERVISORS, from page 1 The new budget goes into effect on July 1. It also includes an increase of about $5 in residents’ solid waste fee, bringing it to $75 for single-family homes, and a slight decrease in the fire levy rate.

The real estate tax rate of 0.966 cents was decreased from the original proposed 0.977 cents to keep residents’ tax bills relatively flat even as home values rose by about 6.5% over the past year.

The tax rate was approved in a 5-3 vote with all three Republican supervisors – Jeanine Lawson (Brentsville), Yesli Vega (Coles) and Bob Weir (Gainesville) voting against the rate. The three proposed slightly lower tax rates, which were voted down during the board’s April 18 “budget markup” meeting.

Data center taxes going up

The board voted unanimously to adopt a $2.15 business tangible computer and peripheral tax rate, known commonly as “the data center tax.”

Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, who previously voted against advertising the $2.15 tax rate, said during the board’s April 18 markup session that she had changed her mind and now supports the hike.

The move represents an increase of about 34% over the current computer and peripherals tax rate of $1.60 per $100 in assessed value. It’s also the largest-one year increase in the rate in 20 years and a departure from the board’s previous plan to gradually raise the rate to only $2 by 2025.

The move will generate an additional $9.8 million in revenue next year from the county’s growing data center sector, which is slated to overtake that of Loudoun County’s over the next several years if the Prince William Digital Gateway receives the board’s final approval. The new data center corridor planned for the county’s once-protected rural crescent on land just north of the Manassas National Battlefield Park would make Prince William County the largest hub for data centers in the world.

The county took in about $101 million in local tax revenue during the current fiscal year from its more than 30 operating data centers -- up from about $85 million in 2022. Much of that money comes from the computer and peripheral taxes the facilities pay on the stacks of computer servers inside their buildings.

Despite the tax rate increase, Prince William County’s tax on data centers is still among the lowest in Northern Virginia, with Loudoun charging $4.20 per $100 in assessed value and Fairfax charging $4.57.

The final budget includes 18% raises for all public safety employees—a category that includes firefighters, EMTs, adult detention center officers and sheriffs’ deputies. For the first time, the category also includes 911 operators. The raises are retroactive to April 1.

Public defenders in Prince William County will also receive an increase in their local supplements—pay provided by the county in addition to their state-funded salaries. After multiple public defenders asked for an increased supplements during board meetings, the county voted to raise it from 15% to 25%.

Supervisor pay going up

The budget also includes raises of about 70% for the county supervisors, which will not go into effect until the new board is sworn in January 2024. The board members’ salaries would increase to $74,282 for each of the seven supervisors and to $84,739 for the board chair, up from $43,422 and $49,452 respectively.

The raises were approved in a 5-3 party-line vote, with the board’s Democratic supervisors – Victor Angry (Neabsco), Andrea Bailey (Potomac), Kenny Boddye (Occoquan), Margaret Franklin (Woodbridge) and Wheeler (At Large) voting in favor of the raises and Lawson, Vega and Weir voting against them.

UVA study: Teen, pre-teen attempted suicide by poison rose during the pandemic

Officials urge safe storage of over-the-counter, prescription medications Staff Reports The rate of suspected suicide attempts by poisoning among children and adolescents ages 10 to 19 reported to U.S. poison centers increased 30% during 2021 – the COVID-19 pandemic’s first full year – compared with 2019, a new UVA Health study found.

The increase in such reports was especially high among pre-teens.

Suspected suicide attempts by poisoning among children ages 10 to 12 increased 73% during 2021 compared with 2019. Among adolescents ages 13 to 15, the rate of suspected suicide attempts by poisoning increased 48.8% in 2021 versus 2019, UVA Health said in a news release.

The rate of suspected suicide attempts by poisoning among girls and young women ages 10 to 19 increased 36.8% in 2021 compared with 2019, the release said.

The findings are based on a review of cases reported to the National Poison Data System by U.S. poison centers as “intentional suspected suicide,” which encompass both suspected suicide attempts and intentional self-harm.

Girls accounted for 81.2% of the suspected suicide attempts among

“This significant increase in suicide attempts during the pandemic surprised us. We are alarmed at the dramatic increase in suicide attempts in such a young population, which continues to escalate according to our data.”

adolescents ages 10 to 19 in 2021, compared with 77% in 2019. These increases in suspected suicides occurred while overall calls to the nation’s poison centers decreased 3.1% during the same two-year period, the release said.

The findings build on a concerning trend identified in an earlier UVA Health study, which found suspected suicide attempts by poisoning among children ages 6 to 19 increased 26.7% between 2015 and 2020.

“This significant increase in suicide attempts during the pandemic surprised us,” Dr. Christopher Holstege, medical director of the Blue Ridge Poison Center at UVA Health and chief of the Division of Medical Toxicology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, said in a statement.

“We are alarmed at the dramatic increase in suicide attempts in such a young population, which continues to escalate according to our data,”

Holstege added.

The two most common substances involved in the reported suicide attempts were acetaminophen and ibuprofen, two commonly available, over-the-counter pain relievers. The other most used substances were two antidepressant medications – sertraline and fluoxetine – along with diphenhydramine, an antihistamine available over-the-counter drug that is frequently used to treat allergies.

“These findings suggest that the mental health of children and adolescents might still be affected by the pandemic, raising concerns about long-term consequences, especially given that previous attempted suicide has been found to be the strongest predictor of subsequent death by suicide,” the researchers wrote in a scientific paper outlining the findings.

Based on the data, the researchers recommend a comprehensive ap-

proach to suicide prevention through partnerships among families, teachers, mental health professionals and public health leaders, the release said.

And given how frequently overthe-counter medications are used in suicide attempts, the researchers also suggest that schools and communities offer public education initiatives on the safe storage of overthe-counter medications and the availability of assistance in case of an overdose through America’s poison centers by calling 800-222-1222.

They also recommend additional promotion of the national 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for people experiencing a mental health crisis.

“As a society, we need to come together in a multi-disciplinary manner and strategize on how to best mitigate this rapidly escalating threat to our youth,” Holstege said.

Last month, UVA Children’s and Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital announced plans to create a new outpatient clinic in Albemarle County to meet the growing need for pediatric neurodevelopmental and behavioral health care in Central Virginia.

The researchers published their findings in the scientific journal “Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.”

The research team included Rita Farah, Saumitra V. Rege, Ryan J. Cole and Holstege, the release said.

Bristow couple killed in motorcycle crash in Madison County 3rd Bristow motorcyclist seriously injured Staff Reports A Bristow couple died, and another Bristow man was seriously injured early Sunday afternoon when the couple lost control of their motorcycle and collided with another vehicle in Madison County, according to the Virginia State Police.

William E. Romine II, 59, of Bristow, and Cathleen T. Romine, 58, also of Bristow, died at the scene of the crash. It happened at about 12:20 p.m. on Sunday, April 23. Both were wearing helmets, according to Sgt. Brent Coffey, a Virginia State Police spokesman.

William E. Romine II was driving a 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle north on Va. 231 when it failed to maneuver a curve, crossed the double solid-yellow centerline and collided head-on with a 2007 BMW sedan that was heading south on the highway, Coffey said in a news release.

The impact caused both vehicles to run off the roadway and catch fire.

The crash sent debris into the northbound lane, which struck another northbound 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle, which then ran off of the roadway.

The driver of the second Harley Davidson, a 56-year-old Bristow resident, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to UVA Medical Center for treatment. He was also wearing a helmet, Coffey said.

The driver of the BMW, a 68-year-old Arlington man, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene. He was wearing a seatbelt, Coffey said.

The crash remains under investigation.

Fire damages unoccupied townhome in Dale City

PHOTO BY JOHN CALHOUN

Firefighters tackle a blaze at an unoccupied townhome in Dale City on Monday, April 24.

A Dale City townhome that was undergoing renovations was extensively damaged by a fire Monday afternoon, according to Prince William County Fire and Rescue officials.

Firefighters arrived at the blaze in the 15000 block of Catalpa Court, a residential area near Benita Fitzgerald Elementary School, at about 1:40 p.m. on Monday, April 24 and found fire extending up the rear side of the home and into the attic, ac-

cording to Prince William County Assistant Fire Chief Mat Smolsky.

Firefighting efforts quickly extinguished the blaze, and no injuries were reported. The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire and has no current residents.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined and remained under investigation by the fire marshal’s office on Monday night, Smolsky said.

Prince William School Board sets timeline to install weapons-detection systems at middle, high schools WEAPONS, from page 3 More than 600 people participated in the forums, and 550 comments and questions were submitted through a QR code set up to receive feedback, including over 240 unsolicited statements of support for the Evolv system, Bock said at the meeting.

“The community has spoken with near unanimity over months of engagement to support the artificial intelligence scanners (Evolv System) to add another layer of security to our schools,” Lateef said in his statement.

A team of school administrators and school board member Loree Williams (Woodbridge) visited a high school in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg district in North Carolina last fall to see the equipment in action.

During the meeting, Williams

said she was impressed by the equipment and how it worked in the schools but said she was initially skeptical of the idea.

“Being a former Prince William County student, I do remember when Woodbridge High School did have metal detectors, and I remember what it felt like to be a student going through those, and the negative impact that it had on self-esteem. It did create sort of like a prison environment,” Williams said.

But Williams said after seeing the Evolv system in action, talking to students, staff, administrators, parents and even the police chief at the Charlotte, N.C. high school, she felt much better about the idea.

“The response was overwhelming from all parties involved. …

They did recognize that no system is foolproof, but it did definitely impact their ability to feel safe and secure in the school environment in a pos-

itive manner,” Williams said, adding: “And I can say that that’s one of the first times as a school board member, where I think every single stakeholder was in agreement with it.”

Bock said the Evolv system will “detect potential threats such as knives, guns and explosives.” Based on the equipment’s sensitivity setting, Evolv can detect “ghost guns, 3-D printed and simulated guns,” and in some instances, vapes, “depending on the construction and material,” Bock said.

“This system will improve the detection and deterrence of weapons at schools. No system is perfect, but the school board is committed to adding effective layers of security to improve the safety and security of all students, teachers and staff,” Lateef said in his statement, adding: “The superintendent and the PWCS School Board will continue to prior-

itize security and safety and adopt best practices and technologies as they continue to evolve.”

Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham, Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth, and the entire board of county supervisors back the plan to employ the Evolv screening system at schools, officials said at the meeting.

The Evolv Express systems have been installed at more than 500 school districts, the Pentagon, more than 30 professional sports venues, Smithsonian museums and theme parks across the country, Bock said at the meeting.

The systems have been credited with stopping more than 100,000 weapons from entering venues between January and November 2022, according to an Evolv news release.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | April 27, 2023

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Water quality threats are reason enough to stop the Prince William Digital Gateway Thank you for the article by Anya Sczerzenie on “forever chemicals,” (published in the Prince William Times on April 7).

I hope the Prince William County supervisors read it. Chemical pollutants are already impacting the Occoquan watershed at alarming rates. Stanley Grant, director of the Occoquan Watershed Monitoring Laboratory, notes that the level of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) in the watershed is already excessive.

Previously, the watershed has been protected by surrounding rural spaces. Now, county supervisors have approved a massive data center complex, also known as the “Digital Gateway,” proposed for a rural area at the headwaters of the Occoquan Reservoir and adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield.

The clear-cutting and paving required for 27 million square feet of concrete multi-story buildings would eliminate the protections now

afforded by open fields and forests, increasing local water pollution caused by toxic runoff. To date, there have been no professional assessments addressing local impacts of the proposed project and no mitigation plans to deal with them.

The Prince William County Board of Supervisors has been advised of pollution dangers by Fairfax Water, environmental groups, state representatives, some of its own members and hundreds of local citizens. To no avail. The supervisors seem content to risk the resulting impacts to residents of Prince William County, Fort Belvoir and Alexandria City!

There is still time to stop this travesty. For developers to proceed, rezoning of the area in question is required. To protect our environment and water, the board must reverse its current recklessness and vote no to a zoning change!

MADGE GILL Gainesville

County needs to stop further data center development Why has it taken so long for the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to start seeing the light about the data centers? For a year and a half, those in opposition to the Prince William Digital Gateway have been looked at with disdain no matter what truths they have put forth. I certainly hope it is not just because we are in an election year!

Our beautiful rural land is being ravaged. Trees come down daily, and they are being replaced by 100-foot cement walls. Data centers are being approved left and right next to schools and residential communities without regard to health issues.

Data centers are not being taxed enough, and so the residents in the county are being asked to pay more taxes and additional meals taxes. These meals taxes harm Prince William County businesses

Letters to the Editor

as residents dine in other counties.

A budget is about priorities.

Supervisors need to start with who needs it the most. Salaries for teachers, police, firemen and those who put their lives on the line daily need to be first. If Prince William County gives half of its local tax revenue to the schools, then it should have a say on where the money goes. Salaries at the top in both administration for schools and the county should be examined closely.

Further, I urge the supervisors to STOP ANY FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF DATA CENTERS until we can see the ramifications of what has been approved. It is time to start listening to what the residents have been warning about for the last year!

Wheeler voted against raising the data center tax rate before voting for it In the April 21st edition of Prince William Board of County Supervisor Chair Ann Wheeler’s “The Wheeler Report,” Wheeler seemed to be taking credit for the fact that the proposed 2024 budget keeps the residential real estate tax bills essentially level. She also highlighted that “increased data center peripherals tax rate allowed for an increase in the proposed compensation for our fire and rescue, sheriff's deputies and adult detention center personnel, as well as public safety communicators.”

It is ironic that Wheeler boasts of fiscally responsible acts accomplished over her objections.

A March 1 article in the Prince William Times reported: “Supervisor Jeanine Lawson proposed raising the data center tax rate to $2.15 to generate enough revenue to cover the expenses in Shorter’s plan while also keeping real estate tax bills flat for property owners.”

The article also stated: “Only Su-

pervisors Victor Angry, Margaret Franklin, and Board Chair Ann Wheeler, voted against advertising the $2.15 data center tax rate.

A March 1 article in Inside NOVA reported Wheeler’s objections to raising the data center tax rate.

“It’s the integrity of our economic development people who have to go out and talk to other businesses,” Wheeler said at the time.

In other words, Wheeler was more interested in keeping faith with wealthy big tech corporations than with Prince William County taxpayers. Fortunately for us, she was overruled.

Such misplaced loyalty is readily evident in the list of her campaign donors, which reads like a who’s who of influence peddlers.

Expect more dubious claims throughout the election cycle that is just gearing up.

MARILYN KARP Haymarket

In support of the utility-scale lameda Solar facility I am in favor of the Alameda Solar facility that is proposed for 464 acres near the Fauquier County Airport. The Fauquier County Planning Commission conducted a hearing on this proposal on April 20.

I am in favor of the Alameda proposal for a number of reasons.

It is proposed for one of only a few locations in the county that are ideally suited for utility-scale solar. It would take up only about one-tenth of 1% of county land but would go a long way toward doing our “fair share” of getting the state off fossil fuels. No topsoil would be lost, and with the site’s land mostly flat, very little earth-moving would be required.

The facility would create an

equal or larger number of farm jobs than it takes away, as sheep would be grazing amongst the solar panels. The facility would meet or exceed all of the county’s utility-scale solar permitting requirements, and utility-scale solar is efficient; one study shows that to get a comparable amount of non-fossil fuel energy from rooftop solar would require half of the county’s households to install them.

In my view, utility-scale solar won’t get much better than this for Fauquier County. The site’s current landowners should be allowed to convert their holdings to utility-scale solar.

Fiction takes you places. These books will take you far.

By Kirk Johnson

Contributing Writer

Every work of fiction is, in some ways, a journey to a place outside our day-to-day life. Even the most realistic novels, or those set in familiar locations in contemporary times, can be a journey of sorts, giving the reader the opportunity to see familiar places, people and events from a different perspective.

That said, for every novel that helps us see our society and our times in a new light, there is another which takes the reader to an entirely different world—traveling back and forth in time and beyond the world we know to alternate worlds we can only dream of … or read about.

Your local library has several new titles which can take you to times and places you otherwise could not.

Based on a true event, Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s “The Dance Tree” is set in the French city of Strasbourg in 1518. In the middle of an unusually hot summer, a woman began dancing nonstop in the city square.

She continues for days, and before too long, hundreds of other women have joined her.

The men who run the city bring in musicians to try and overpower the devil, whom they assume is behind this strange outbreak. Meanwhile, a pregnant woman named Lisbet is caught up in another mystery involving her sister-in-law. Readers will eagerly turn pages to find answers to these (possibly entwined?) mysteries.

In “Girlcrush,” Florence Given gives a gritty, feminist retelling of the Doctor Jekyll and Mister

Hyde storyline. The main character, Eartha, has created a full-fledged alternate persona on a popular social media app.

This persona—her alternate self—has become so popular that it seems to have taken on a life of its own. When things turn dark, and Eartha deals with the consequences, she faces a real dilemma—only one of her two “selves” can survive.

Which one should it be?

Charlaine Harris has already achieved popular success with her “Gunnie Rose” series of novels set in an alternative U.S. “where magic is an acknowledged but despised power” (Goodreads). If you haven’t discovered this series yet, the fourth installment—”The Serpent in Heaven”—just might get you hooked. There is a “Rasputin School” of magic, a Holy Roman Empire and much more.

Another version of this world, where magic is real and pervasive, can be found in Cherie Dimaline’s “VenCo.” Dimaline tells the story of Lucky St. James, an Indigenous Canadian woman who travels to New Orleans after discovering something magical in the apartment she’s about to be evicted from. During her travels, she will discover a network of witches and gets involved in their fight to triumph over a talented and dangerous witch hunter.

Come to Prince William Public Libraries, check out one of these books—or many others—and take a journey far away!

Can’t listen to audiobooks in the car? The libraries have a solution.

by Kirk Johnson

Contributing Writer

As technologies continue to change, fewer cars come with CD players, and fewer consumers are buying CDs to listen to. Unfortunately, the decline of the CD in our daily commutes has had an unexpected casualty: the audiobook.

Your local library continues to carry many audiobooks on CD (for those who can still play them), and we provide downloadable audiobooks. The problem is some people cannot play either in their car. Between not having a CD player and being unable to download files to listen to in the car, many people cannot listen to audiobooks on their daily commutes.

In an effort to find a solution, the Prince William Public Libraries

purchased adapters that can connect the Playaway audiobook device to a car stereo’s auxiliary jack. And we got these at such a low cost that we are giving them away to any patron who checks out a Playaway device and asks for one.

We have more than 850 Playaway devices in our collection. And once you get an adapter cord, you are welcome to keep the cord and keep checking out Playaways as long as we have them available.

Though it may seem small, this is just another example of how Prince William Public Libraries continues to innovate and adapt to changing technological challenges to meet as many of our patrons’ needs as possible.

BATTLE-TESTED BOBCATS MUSCLE UP FOR THIRD STRAIGHT RUN AT BOYS LACROSSE STATE TITLE Veteran team led by Cleary, George, Sheahan, Fisher, Al-Khalili, Carroll and more

By Matthew Proctor Times Staff Writer

Appearances in back-to-back Class 6 state championship games have taught the Battlefield High boys lacrosse team what it takes to win it all.

With expectations of greatness now surrounding his emerging elite program, coach David Suthers says he’s taking it one game at a time.

“I don’t like putting lofty goals or anything because I think it’s just looking too far forward. Every offseason is important, practice is important, all that kind of stuff goes way before,” Suthers said. “The focus of one game at a time is kind of important for us. One game at a time and before that one practice at a time.”

Once again the Bobcats are in the mix for postseason glory. With four games remaining, Battlefield sits at 8-2 overall and 4-0 to lead the Cedar Run District ahead of John Champe (3-0), Freedom (South Riding) (4-1) and Patriot (3-1).

Battlefield’s state runnerup finishes the last two past two years include a 9-8 overtime loss to Yorktown in 2021, followed by an 8-5 loss to James Madison last year. The Bobcats were 12-2 in 2021 and 19-4 last year.

Suthers says the Bobcats have gotten to an elite level by focusing and executing what they’ve practiced in games.

“When good teams lose when they shouldn’t, it’s because that’s the day that their basics aren’t backing them up. I think just high energy and focusing on the basics (are key) for us, and that has to be every practice,” he said. “They can’t just turn it on in games. So, when we are playing well in practice, it always kind of emulates during the games, it will lead to good gameplay.”

The Bobcats’ 29-man squad consists of 14 seniors and eight juniors, including key contributors Abraham Al-Khalili, Mason Cage, Brodie Carroll, Ronan Cleary, Patrick Sheahan, John Fisher and Owen George.

Cleary, a senior attackman, is Battlefield’s biggest offensive weapon with a team leading 22 goals and 18 assists through April 23.

Leading the midfield in points are George (10 goals, 10 assists) and Sheahan (12 goals, seven assists), while Al-Kahlili is a master at winning faceoffs.

Another important midfielder is Carroll, who with 12 goals “does everything. He’s a defensive midfielder. He’s an offensive midfielder. It’s

Battlefield senior Christian Babic and Gainesville’s Ashton Howard duel in Monday’s 15-1 Battlefield win. The two-time Class 6 runnerup Bobcats lead the Cedar Run District at 4-0 with games left against Champe, Osbourn and Patriot.

Cedar Run District boys lacrosse standings 1, Battlefield 4-0 (8-2 overall) 2, John Champe 3-0 (5-2 overall) 3, Freedom (South Riding) 4-1 (9-3 overall) 4, Patriot 3-1 (5-4 overall) 5, Osbourn Park 2-4 (3-7 overall) 6, Osbourn 1-5 (3-7 overall) 7, Unity Reed 0-6 (0-11 overall) difficult, I have to force him off the field,” Suthers said.

On the back end, the Bobcats are led by senior defenseman Mason Cage and junior goalie John Fisher.

Through April 23, Fisher has been rock solid in the net with 101 saves and a 69 percent save percentage.

“I think just the experience, that’s one key difference from the past, a lot of these guys have been here for three years. So, experience, keep doing what we’re doing, and everybody buying in. I think that is the equation for success,” said Suthers.

“If we click and we’re playing high speed and playing how we should, sharing the ball and moving the ball, it looks really good.

Some of the best lacrosse I’ve seen,” said Suthers.

Battlefield has been clicking as of late as they defeated Gainesville 15-1 on Monday for their sixth straight win.

The Bobcats lost both their games early. After defeating Class 5 Independence 13-2 in the season opener, the Bobcats fell to a talented St. Mary’s (Annapolis, Md.) squad 21-4.

Junior Owen George is among a crew of talented Battlefield midfielders.

Battlefield beat W.T. Woodson 13-0 and lost to Lake Braddock 10-3.

Suthers purposely planned a tough non-district slate.

“In the regular season, that is the time to make mistakes. That is the time to see the best players you can,” he said. “You are playing like the competition that you’re playing against. I think that will get you prepared when you’re coming down to the regional finals, state games and all that kind of stuff.”

Battlefield’s last four wins against district opponents are all by at least eight goals. They also beat Fairfax County powers Westfield 8-2 and

Robinson 10-7.

“Everybody is getting involved.

Good faceoff, good wing play. The ground ball percentage, the faceoff percentage, all those are very high.

And it’s coming from different guys.

We’re getting new guys to score in those games,” said Suthers.

With just four games remaining until the start of the Class 6 Region B playoffs, Suthers just wants his guys to focus on the basics.

“Being able to be high energy but then being able to play with a smart lacrosse IQ, I think that will help us if we keep doing it, taking it one day at a time,” he said.

Let’s talk about title insurance. Is it really needed?

By Mason Dalman

Special to the Fauquier Times

Closing on your new home is an exciting and rewarding experience that has often come together after years of saving, careful research and expert guidance from a well-informed and caring real estate agent.

At that closing, you will receive title to your home, which is your ownership right to the property. This title comes in the form of a deed that was recorded with the land records in your county or city. When going through this purchase process, you will hear that a title search was done on the property, which is an examination of the public records to confirm that you can take full legal ownership of the property once the seller signs the deed.

Often, the title search reveals “defects” or “clouds” in the chain of title. These defects range from unpaid real estate taxes to typographical errors, to fraud or forgery in the chain of paperwork, to outstanding liens against the property.

They may include undisclosed child support liens, discovery of a second will or even unlikely events such as an old deed executed under a

faked power of attorney. Sometimes these defects do not show up in the land records or were possibly missed by the title examiner.

Title insurance is what will protect you, the insured, against covered title defects affecting the insured property. It is required by nearly all lenders because they understand the gravity of the situation if a defect is discovered. Lenders want to ensure that their interest is covered no matter if it’s a small claim or a claim that’s worth the entire value of the property.

Under that same principle, title insurance for homeowners is also advised. These one-time policy premiums are paid at closing for both lenders and homeowners, and unlike other insurances, title insurance protects the client from issues that may have occurred before and after the property was purchased. This policy protects new homeowners from having to fight these title disputes on their own as it includes coverage for legal expenses, which may be necessary to investigate, litigate or settle an adverse claim.

So, what are the statistics?

According to the American Land Title Association, a title defect is ®

discovered in roughly 25% of all real estate transactions. In the first nine months of 2022, the title industry spent $438.7 million in title insurance claims. In 2021, title claims totaled to $474.4 million.

Additionally, roughly 75% of claims are made in the first six years of purchasing the home. Approximately 5% of title policies will have a title claim – meaning that a defect was discovered or created after the real estate settlement company searched, cleared and insured that title.

Don’t forget, that percentage does not include those who didn’t purchase title insurance and had a claim. And it’s also not every person – but every policy, meaning you could be a part of that 5% more than once if you’ve owned more than one property.

Just as you wouldn’t drive without auto insurance, why would you buy a home without title insurance? You have worked hard for your home.

Protect it.

As with any insurance contract, the insurance provisions express the coverage afforded by the title insurance policy, and there are exceptions, exclusions and conditions to coverage that limit or narrow the coverage afforded by the policy.

Also, some coverage or services may not be available in a particular area or transaction due to legal, regulatory or underwriting considerations.

Please contact an insurance representative for further information.
