More than a decade after breaking ground, Harvest Life Changers Church needs new financing but isn’t giving up

For about the last decade, the Harvest Life Changers’ $50 million new church – a brown brick behemoth with peaked roof lines sitting atop huge, cream-colored retaining walls – has been in various stages of construction, which ground to a halt in 2020. Now, church leaders say they are once again working with Prince William County officials to take steps toward finishing the project.

Bishop Lyle Dukes, who leads Harvest Life Changers Church with his wife, Deborah, says the church is looking to secure new financing and hopes to submit plans for the building’s interior to the county by this fall.

Dukes says members of his church, who currently meet in a building near IKEA that was once a furniture factory, are determined to see the project to its fruition both for their congregation and the wider community.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Tuesday denounced the leak of a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade as an attempt to “cause chaos and to put pressure on justices and elected officials,” while reiterating his anti-abortion stance and his belief that abortion issues should be left to states to Gov. Glenn Youngkin decide.

“This was a gross violation of our Supreme Court and does damage to our Supreme Court and our country,” Youngkin told reporters after an event in Richmond.

“And I think that is something we should all recognize, the political games that are being played on this most important topic.”

Youngkin indicated he’ll take no further action on the matter until the court’s final decision is released.

“I’ll work with our legislature at that point,” he said.

Children as young as 5 were in the midst of their regular weekly flag-football games Sunday, May 1, when gunshots rang out on the fields behind Benton Middle School, resulting in a chaotic scene with parents and coaches pushing kids to the ground and then rushing them off the fields.

Two men, a 33-year-old and a 24-year-old, were injured in the shooting.

The younger man suffered life-threatening wounds and was transported to an area from the school via a helicopter. The other man was transported by someone at the school, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman.

COVID-19 cases rising again in Prince William, Va. Staff Reports COVID-19 cases are on the rise in Prince William Health District and across the state amid loosened restrictions and the increasing prevalence of a more contagious strain of the omicron variant.

On Wednesday, May 4, the Virginia Department of Health recommended that people get tested for COVID-19 before gathering for Mother’s Day. Cases are still at “low” levels in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but much of Northern Virginia is seeing a “slow growth” in cases, while Loudoun County is seeing a surge, according to the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute.

The rise is blamed on the BA.2 strain, which is becoming dominant in Virginia, accounting for nearly half of all infections tested during the weeks ending April 9 and April 16, the UVA report said.

The Prince William Health District logged more than 200 new daily cases on Wednesday, May 4, while the state tallied more than 3,000 -- the highest daily cases numbers since early February, when cases were declining from the massive omicron surge. At the worst of the winter surge, average daily cases were hovering at 1,200 in Prince William and more than 18,000 across the state.

The impact is being felt in the Prince William County school division, where students isolating because of the virus rose to 268 on May 4 – an

When complete, the 204,000-square-foot building on Neabsco Mills Road and U.S. 1 will feature a 4,000-seat sanctuary, classrooms, a food court, office space and community event space. Dukes says he is confident the building will open, even if it happens in stages.

“We are a community church, and while it’s been a challenge, this is something we are trying to do to help the community,” Dukes said in a recent interview. “The whole downstairs area along the Route 1 side of the building will just be for the community. We will have food, clothing and a whole wing for the youth.”

A vision 16 years in the making

Harvest Life Changers’ church, a non-denominational Christian congregation, got its start in 1995 when it began meeting at Potomac High School and moved into its existing building on Telegraph Road in 2001.

Wanting an even bigger facility with room for growth, the church purchased a nearly 16-acre site 16 years ago, in 2006, for $4 million.

The steeply sloped site posed challenges from the beginning, however.

Before starting construction on the church building, the heavily wooded area had to be cleared and eight retaining walls built to stabilize the site. The complex nature of the wall installation was a time-consuming process that required qualified third-party inspections as well as a subsequent county inspections, said Richard O’Connor, a development project manager for Prince William County’s Building

Development Division.

Work on the site began shortly after the county approved site plans for the church’s construction in 2010.

Work proceeded over the next several years with the county extending Harvest Life Changers’ “performance bonds” five times since approving its site plan, according to Wade Hugh, the county’s director of development services.

Performance bonds are required for any public improvement proposed as part of a construction project to ensure that developers fulfill their obligations to the county, Hugh said. To accommodate the new building, Harvest Life Changers promised to build turn lanes onto Neabsco Mills Road as well as a stormwater management facility, sidewalks outside the church and a parking lot. The church also had to put $158,000 in escrow that could help pay for a 10-foot-wide trail along Neabsco Mills Road, should the county’s transportation department pursue one, Hugh said.

Pandemic, financing challenges

By 2020, the bulk of the facility’s exterior and most of the eight retaining walls were finished. Just before the pandemic struck, however, Harvest Life Changers’ existing financing was suspended when its lender went out of business, Dukes said.

Adding to those challenges, county inspections ground to a halt due to pandemic precautions.

Sometime that year, a chain-link fence was looped around the building, a step Prince William County officials require to keep a construc-

ing to remind residents to get their vaccinations and booster shots when they are eligible and to maintain their vigilance about the virus as much as possible.

“Covid has not gone away. It just trended downward for a bit,” said Sean Johnson, the health district’s outreach director, in an email late last week.

“People are going to still get it due to complacency and covid exhaustion, meaning they want to get back to what they use to consider normal.”

tion site secure when work stalls.

More recently, supply-chain challenges have both increased prices and delayed the purchase of needed materials. Some items have taken months longer to arrive. Just the windows and doors cost $1.2 million, Dukes said.

Over the past few months, the church has met with county officials as crews resumed work on the windows and doors, items that do not require county inspection, Hugh said.

Dukes said the construction challenges will push the final cost of the church beyond its initial $50 million cost. He said the church needs another loan to finish the project but would not disclose the amount they are seeking.

He insisted, however, that the church is on solid financial footing, has not defaulted on previous loans and is not in danger of abandoning the project. County records show the

church has refinanced the project over the years.

“The majority of the potential [future] financing will be for the remainder of the project,” Dukes said in an email. “However, there is a portion of expense that we are continuing to pay, which will be included in the commercial loan.”

County officials say they have strived to work with the church over the years in hopes the project will eventually come to a successful conclusion.

“Nobody wants an abandoned building in Prince William County,” O’Connor said. “We want the church to get full occupancy so they can enjoy the vision they had when they decided to build this church. They are very passionate, and we want to help them fulfill their dream.”

Teachers reject school board’s deadline on collective bargaining Teachers fear retaliation. School board chair says collective bargaining ‘not a priority’

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Leaders of the Prince William Education Association said they hoped members of the county school board might mark this week – “Teacher Appreciation Week” – with a vote indicating their support for collective bargaining for the school division’s teachers and staff.

But that development seems increasingly unlikely given an ongoing stalemate over the process for verifying more than 5,000 signature cards the local teachers union says it collected from more than 50% of the school division’s certified staff in support of collective bargaining.

In an April 27 statement, the Prince William County School Board said it must collect and retain at least the job titles of staff members who signed the cards. The school board also set a new deadline of Wednesday, May 4 for teachers to turn over the cards. The board’s statement said it needs the cards by then to stay on track with the 120-day timeline that began March 18 when PWEA President Maggie Hansford formally announced the union had collected the requisite signatures to force a school board vote.

According to Virginia’s new collective bargaining law for public employees, a bargaining unit can force a county board of supervisors or school board to vote on collective bargaining if a majority of its members signal their support. The vote must take place within 120 days of the employees’ show of support, according to the law.

The school board’s statement called its revised deadline and loosened request for employee verification a “reasonable and good-faith compromise” that “allows the board to retain the non-identifiable job title information of those who signed cards in support of collective bargaining.”

Retaliation feared

The PWEA, however, won’t comply with the school board’s ultimatum

by May 4 or any day, Hansford said Friday, because even sharing employees’ job titles would reveal too much of their identities and risk retaliation by school division administrators.

Hansford said teachers were told their identities would be protected by the PWEA if they signed the cards and said keeping that promise is “extremely important.”

“We said we would protect them throughout the process because that’s what the law says,” Hansford said. “The law says employees have the right to a fair process.”

Hansford said the teachers offered the school board options for verifying the cards that they deemed acceptable, which included verification by a neutral third party or allowing PWEA members to be present when the signatures cards are checked un-

der a process that would prevent the school division from retaining the records. If records are not kept, school division administrators would have no way of knowing who signed the cards, explained both Hansford and PWEA Vice President-elect Brandie Provenzano.

Teachers, both Hansford and Provenzano said, are worried staff members who signed the cards will be treated differently if administrators know they support collective bargaining. Prior to the 2020 law allowing public unions to bargain collectively, the process had been illegal in Virginia since 1977.

Both spoke of a “culture” of retaliation against teachers who speak out – whether at school board meetings or in other ways. Teachers have been called into intimidating meetings with principals, school division attorneys and even associate superintendents after speaking publicly at a school board meeting, for example, they said.

The school board voted against allowing the staff signature cards to be verified by a neutral party on Wednesday, April 6. Only School Board members Lillie Jessie (Occoquan), Diane Raulston (Neabsco) and Justin Wilk (Potomac) voted in favor of allowing an outside party to check the cards. School board members who opposed it cited concerns about giving an outside entity access to “school division data” while downplaying staff concerns about retaliation.

The signature cards are being held at the Richmond offices of the Virginia Education Association – the PWEA’s parent organization – for safe-keeping. In a statement, VEA Organizing Director Todd Park criticized the Prince William County School Board’s demands as “outrageous and unprecedented.”

The VEA, Park noted, contends the state’s collective bargaining law does not specify the need to validate that a majority of staff members’ support collective bargaining before a process for collective bargaining can be hammered out.

“Five other local [teacher unions in Virginia] have represented to their school boards that they have authorization cards from employees in one or more units. None of these school divisions has required any certification process as a prerequisite for proceeding to negotiating a resolution,” Park said.

Lateef: ‘not my highest priority’

School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef acknowledged in a recent interview that three school board members could ask the board to consider a resolution to begin negotiating a collective bargaining process with a unit elected by teachers and staff -- a process that would avoid having to verify or even collect staff signatures. But Lateef said he is per-

sonally not interested in presenting such a resolution and doesn’t know if his fellow school board members are either.

“This is going to require resources, time and energy to do this, and I’m not interested in doing it unless the teachers are moving forward and saying they want to do this,” Lateef said.

Lateef further said he has not advocated for collective bargaining because it “is not [his] highest priority.”

Told of those statements, Provenzano said she is “disappointed” to hear that Lateef, a Democrat, does not consider collective bargaining for teachers a priority. School board positions are non-partisan, but board members usually run with the support and endorsement of their political parties. Of the eight current school board members, seven ran with the endorsement of the local Democratic committee.

“We canvassed for them,” Provenzano said. “We were told if [we] had a majority of Democrats on the school board, they would be supportive of raises, and they would support collective bargaining.”

Manassas City Council proposes lower rate to keep tax bills in check Homeowners would still pay about $234 more in 2023

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

City of Manassas homeowners will pay about $234 more in real estate taxes next year under the proposed $271.6 million budget the city council hammered out during a work session last week.

The Manassas City Council took a series of straw votes Wednesday, April 27 on the new spending plan amid discussions about city staffing needs and what should be done to mitigate the impacts of rising property values and used car values – both of which would push tax bills higher unless tax rates are cut.

The council informally agreed to reduce the existing real estate tax rate by 8.7 cents from $1.222 to $1.135 per $100 in assessed value while keeping the city’s personal property tax and fire and rescue tax rates unchanged. Under the proposal, the combined real estate tax and fire and rescue levy would total $1.342 per $100 in assessed value.

Because Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger (D) was at a mayor’s conference, Vice Mayor Pamela Sebesky (D) ran the work session. During the informal two-and-a-half-hour meeting, only four “head nods” were needed from councilmembers to informally approve a decision. The straw votes were needed so City Manager W. Patrick Pate can prepare the ordinances necessary to formally adopt the 2023 budget, which is expected to occur at the council’s May 9 meeting.

Rising vehicle values

Regarding the personal property tax rate, or the tax paid on vehicles, Councilmember Mark Wolfe (D) said Manassas City has the second-lowest rate in Northern Virginia next to Manassas Park, which charges $3.60 per $100 in assessed value.

Prince William County has the third-lowest rate at $3.70, while Fairfax County’s is $4.54 and Fauquier County’s $4.65.

The average value of a vehicle in the City of Manassas is $9,200, and the median value $5,930, Pate said. Because of the rise in used car values, retaining the current rate is estimated to raise an additional $1.8 million in fiscal year 2023, which begins July 1.

Pate advised that the council could spend the additional $1.8 million on city improvements and other priorities, reduce the rate or use the money

The City of Manassas city hall. to offset a reduction in the real estate tax rate. The $1.8 million equates to about a 3-cent decrease in real estate tax rate, Pate said.

The council agreed to maintain the current $3.60 personal property tax rate and use the extra $1.8 million to offset a reduction in the real estate tax rate.

In his proposed budget, Pate had recommended a 5.7-cent reduction in the real estate tax rate, dropping it from $1.222 to $1.165, resulting in an average residential tax bill increase of $343 for fiscal year 2023.

After discussion about increasing home values and the expected $1.8 million bump in vehicle tax revenue, the council agreed to reduce the real estate tax rate by another 3 cents. Wolfe said cut would reduce the average residential tax bill increase by $109, bringing it to $234. The average non-residential bill would see a $465 reduction.

Under the proposed rates, real estate tax revenue would rise 2.65% overall, Pate said.

Council Member Theresa Coates Ellis, one of the council’s two Republicans, advocated for cutting the real estate tax rate another 3.5 cents to an overall rate of $1.307, an amount she said would keep tax bills flat. Ellis said the city should reduce taxes for families when other costs are rising. She said that a 6.5-cent reduction would equate to $4 million that should be removed from the budget.

Ellis said that the council should “reallocate funds and cut where necessary” so city operations can become “leaner and meaner.”

Wolfe shot back that resident surveys and feedback he has received from constituents indicate they are “appreciative of the level of services [the city provides] and frankly continue to ask for more.” He said that people continue to want to live in the city because it is a “community of

quality.” He said that people want good city services, which cost money, noting that the average residential tax bill last year was $4,641, which is comparatively small to those who live in Maryland. Those who want to pay less, he said, should “go live in Culpeper.”

“You want it; you’ve got to pay for it,” he said.

The proposed budget includes a 3% average merit increase and a 2% market adjustment totaling a 5% raise for city staff. Similarly, the Manassas City Public School Board said it was providing a cost-of-living adjustment and step increase for all staff totaling 5%.

At the meeting, the council agreed to increase city funds allocated to nonprofits to $150,000, resulting in an increase of $11,000 for each. Such a bump in funding is unusual, given that the last time the city increased its budget for nonprofits was in 2014 when each received a $1,000 increase.

Wolfe said money going to nonprofits is a “force multiplier for good in the community.”

The council also agreed to add three full-time firefighter positions at a cost of $300,000. According to Pate, these positions will allow the fire department to staff all of their equipment with career firefighters around the clock. Councilmembers Lynn Forkell Greene (R) and Ellis objected, noting there are already 16 openings for firefighters out of 69 positions.

The council agreed to include funds for a new equity and inclusion position in the budget. Pate said that the council plans to do additional work drafting a job description this fall. The council will determine if a position will be advertised and filled after continued discussions about scope of job responsibilities, he said.

Finally, the council agreed to raise the annual salaries for mayor and city council members to $20,000 and $18,000, respectively, which is the state cap, effective July 1, 2023.

City council members are currently paid $15,759, while the mayor’s salary is already at the $20,000 cap. The council’s previous policy was to boost mayor and city council salaries annually at the same average raise for city staff. Because the council members would reach the state cap under the planned 5% raise for city employees, the council decided to make the change within the fiscal year 2023 budget. The move will cost about $12,000 and will eliminate the need for any further administrative actions by human resources and payroll staff.

Jubilation Provides Active Lifestyle Dr. Nancy Ayers took care of others for more than 40 years while practicing family medicine.

Now it is time for her to sit back, relax and enjoy retirement. She is doing just that at Jubilation by Silver Companies.

“People kept asking me if I want to do this, do that (in her career field) and I finally said, ‘No, I want to retire,’” Nancy said recently from her apartment home in Fredericksburg at Jubilation.

Jubilation is the first and only senior living community she considered. Her son, who lives just a few miles away in Fredericksburg with Nancy’s grandson, led the process of vetting a nice community for his mother and even set up an appointment for them to visit Jubilation. And as they say, the rest is history. She moved in just before Christmas and has acclimated nicely to life at Jubilation.

Nancy said it was time to downsize and Jubilation was a good fit. Her house was just under 4,000 square feet and she now lives in a much smaller and more manageable home. While there are larger apartments at Jubilation, the one she chose is perfect for her. She has a great apartment on the fourth floor with a lovely view of the outdoor pool, which remains pristine and uncovered year-round “I am following the cruise ship model. This is my cabin. I can come and go as I please,” said Nancy.

“I like smaller, high-end ones so this works. There are tons of activities. It’s a lot of fun!”

Between her son and her sister who knows a lot about senior living, Nancy said the decision was simple and the team at Jubilation has gone above and beyond to help her make a smooth transition. One example was finding a Notary at the last minute.

“I fell in love with what I saw,” Nancy said. “My sister knew what to tell him (my son) to look for because she understood senior living.”

When asked what her favorite part of the community is, that was an easy question for Nancy: “Everybody kind of comes together and has a can-do attitude.”

She goes on to say there is a lot of “hidden talent” at Jubilation and you find out what some are better at during games like trivia where one resident is really good because he used to be a history professor.

“I feel really comfortable. I can be by myself.

I can be with people. They have lectures. They have game nights. I am trying things I didn’t know I’d like,” Nancy said. “People are having fun with

me because I don’t really know how to play Uno.” There is no lack of socialization and activities at Jubilation. There are a lot of different clubs, including a Garden Club. Nancy said they are going to have a group for fine cigars and spirits and members will be provided lockers to store those items in.

Nancy is also taking advantage of the 20,000-square-foot clubhouse and was able to better enjoy football season in the sports lounge, where “I watched game after game with friends.”

Jubilation has a very talented chef in Duane Keller. Nancy gives him rave reviews and despite loving to cook and having a full kitchen, she has only cooked a handful of times since moving to the community.

“They have a cocktail hour if interested and we have tapas-style dinner and let me tell you, I have

never seen such a spread. Lots to choose from,” Nancy said. “Some people look at the desserts first! I like everything. Casual night. Pizzas, pasta … pasta is my favorite food this side of chocolate.”

Nancy has only been at Jubilation for a short time but knows she loves it and is looking forward to getting into sports, fitness and her other hobbies like gardening.

At Jubilation, residents enjoy concierge services in a five-star resort environment.

Jubilation consists of 207 maintenance-free one or two-bedroom luxury apartments. Residents have access to the clubhouse, an ideal place for socializing with friends and neighbors. Jubilation has a variety of recreational activities, from daily breakfast and weeknight tapas-style dinner to yoga and spinning classes, all organized by an onsite entertainment director.

There are indoor and outdoor heated saltwater pools and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Other spa facilities, which include a sauna, steam, and massage rooms, are available. Jubilation is partnering with Mary Washington Healthcare to provide an on-site medical concierge to assist in arranging VIP medical services and ongoing educational seminars.

“Part of me coming here was to interact with other people. I was not sure I would like it this much. Really enjoying it! Whatever you like, it’s available here,” Nancy said.

Youngkin denounces Supreme Court leak

“An amazing victory in the fight for the life and liberty of our most vulnerable, the unborn.”

SUPERVISOR YESLI VEGA, R-COLES, WHO IS VYING FOR THE GOP NOMINATION IN THE 7TH DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL RACE

ABORTION, from page 1 The draft opinion published by POLITICO Monday night immediately pushed abortion to the forefront of national and state politics, with abortion-rights advocates noting the procedure, for now, will remain legal in Virginia while emphasizing the high stakes for women in a purple state that recently flipped to mostly Republican control.

Legislation in 2020 removed many of Virginia’s former restrictions on the procedure, eliminating mandatory ultrasounds and 24-hour waiting periods along with strict regulations on abortion clinics. Those rollbacks were largely achieved through a Democratic majority in both the House of Delegates and Senate and with support from then-Gov. Ralph Northam (D).

But with Republicans now in control of the House — and a pro-life governor — Democrats say they’ll be put on the defensive if abortion rights are ultimately overturned at the federal level.

“Abortion legislation in Virginia is probably at a stalemate,” said Del. Sally Hudson, D-57th, of Charlottesville, who sponsored a 2021 law removing the ban on abortion coverage for health plans offered on the state’s exchange. “But those rights are only as secure as the Democratic majority in the Senate.”

“That makes abortion the major issue on every future ballot in Virginia,” she added.

One of the first major steps Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) took after taking office in January was reversing Virginia’s legal position on the case before the Supreme Court, declaring that his office believes Roe should be overturned.

While campaigning last year, Youngkin told anti-abortion activists he’d “proudly advocate” for new abortion restrictions based on when a fetus can feel pain, which many conservatives argue begins around 20 weeks into a pregnancy. Under current state law, women have largely unrestricted access to abortion in the first and second trimesters. Abortion in the third trimester, which begins around the 28th week, are allowed only when three doctors decide continuing the pregnancy poses a severe threat to the mother.

Virginia Democrats stoked a furor in 2019 when they proposed an unsuccessful bill to loosen the state’s restrictions on late-term abortions, but they didn’t pursue the proposal further after taking majority control in 2020.

The case before Supreme Court arose from a Mississippi law that prohibits most abortions after the 15th week.

If the 1973 Roe v. Wade precedent is indeed overturned, the ruling wouldn’t ban abortion nationwide. But it would give states greater legal authority to severely restrict or ban abortion, potentially leading to a future where abortion is largely outlawed in red states and readily accessible in blue states.

Since gaining power last year, Virginia Republicans have seemed uneager to fully press the abortion issue.

Republican lawmakers introduced legislation this year to ban most abortions after 20 weeks.

But the GOP-led House of Delegates never took it up, a move that helped politically vulnerable Republicans avoid a likely futile vote on a hot-button

issue. A similar bill filed in the Senate failed in a party-line committee vote.

There’s more uncertainty surrounding abortion votes by the full Senate due to Sen. Joe Morrissey, a Richmond Democrat who has said he would support a 20-week abortion ban. Democrats currently have a 21-19 majority in the Senate, where Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears breaks ties.

The Senate is currently the main check on Youngkin’s agenda, but Republicans have a chance to take full control of state government by flipping the chamber in 2023.

Impact on congressional races

Though the draft decision wouldn’t have any immediate policy impacts in Virginia, the leak already appeared to be reshaping the political debate ahead of the congressional midterms.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued a release spotlighting the anti-abortion positions of many of the Republican candidates hoping to unseat Democratic Reps.

Abigail Spanberger, Elaine Luria and Jennifer Wexton.

Shortly after the leak was reported Monday night, Yesli Vega, a candidate seeking the GOP nomination to run against Spanberger in the Northern Virginia-based 7th District, praised the news as a “historic moment in the making.”

“An amazing victory in the fight for the life and liberty of our most vulnerable, the unborn,” Vega said in a tweet that linked to the POLITICO story.

Residents decry rural-area data centers, development during town hall

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

It was billed as a town hall, but was more like a 1960s-era teach-in. When 300 Prince William County residents gathered at Battlefield High School last week, they heard about development at its worst: Children losing their outdoor play spaces. Drinking water under threat of pollution and salinization. Cluster housing run amuck.

Some of the focus, not surprisingly, was on the proposed Prince William Digital Gateway, a plan to open 2,100 acres of land surrounding Pageland Lane to data centers. But the target was even wider. And the speakers ranged from elementary-school students to citizen-experts on water quality, transportation and noise pollution, all explaining why bad development harms them and their neighborhoods and their lives. The event was hosted by the Coalition to Protect Prince Wlliam County.

The tone was set by Thomas Keapproth, a fifth-grader at The Nokesville School, who opened with a plea to stop a potential re-planning of 1,700 acres bordering his Nokesville home into an industrial corridor. He said one of the things he likes best is his nature walks to see the “green lands in the summer and autumn leaves in the fall,” as well as local deer, beavers, turkeys and turtles. If adults “make the decision to destroy the farms and trees and future generations will lose these forests and farms forever,” he said.

But the bite was delivered by remarks from two African American residents, Deshundra Jefferson of Montclair and Frank Washington of Thoroughfare. Addressing issues such as proposed updates to the county’s comprehensive plan, the possible construction of the Bi-County Parkway and deciding whether to approve the new digital corridor in the county’s rural north, Jefferson said: “The [county] board is making decisions that are going to affect our county for generations.” All of these matters, she said, may have destructive effects on residents in the eastern part of the county and people of color.

Frank Washington, founder of the Coalition to Save Historic Thoroughfare, began by describing

the desecration of the Scott Cemetery, a historic African American and Native American cemetery now owned by a local brewery, but then moved on to the dangers posed to Pageland Lane, an area rich in Black history, by a proposed 2,100acre data center development along that road near the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

He said that a plantation that ran along Pageland was owned by the same family who owned a plantation in Thoroughfare, and that Jennie Dean was born a slave on the Pageland Lane-area plantation. After the war, she and her family built their home on the land where she was held captive.

Dean went on to found the Manassas Industrial School, which for a time was the only secondary school for African American children in all of Northern Virginia.

Noting that the Pageland Lane area is dotted with historic African American cemeteries, churches and schools, Washington said the area “tells a story of one of the most significant periods of American history: Civil War, Reconstruction and the formation of African American communities that developed during the post-Civil War, developments that helped to then build Prince William County.”

Turning to overt racism, Washington said people who support the development of Pageland Lane are also saying that the Manassas Battlefield glorifies the Confederacy, thus arguing that those who would preserve the battlefield are racists: “They are calling the very people who have stood and walked beside me, in our fight for Thoroughfare, racist, because they simply support preserving Pageland and the Battlefield,” he said. “We cannot afford to allow them to use a race card to pit us against each other.”

“You see, division is truly our real enemy. If we allow them to divide us with the various rhetoric I hear being used to try and pit race against race, or the east side of the county against the west side, that division will be our downfall,” he said.

Washington received a standing ovation. Attending the meeting were school board members Adele Jackson of Brentsville and Jennifer Wall of Gainesville, as well as Brentsville District Super-

Vida Carroll, who lives and farms in the Brentsville District, talked of the county’s proposal in its “Pathway to 2040” comprehensive plan update to expand 100 acres planned for industrial uses along the railroad tracks to 1,700 acres – not to mention a separate re-zoning application to turn a nearby 277-acre farm into a data center complex.

The proposed revision to the comprehensive plan was unveiled in February but still has a long way to go before adoption.

Located between Nokesville and the Fauquier County line, the land included in the comprehensive plan change would be opened to data centers and hard industrial uses, she said.

“Industrial developments like data centers and cement plants are incompatible with rural and residential zoning.” Like development along Pageland Lane, she said this too could affect the county’s watershed.

Carroll also warned of cluster residential zoning that would spread housing development to rural areas. Current schools will be stressed, resulting in more new schools, pulling resources away from the eastern schools that need improvement while the western end keeps getting new schools, she warned.

“I want to live for a long time in Prince William County and raise my kids here,” she said.

But, she added, “You don’t have to be an expert in this to understand how wrong and how damaging this land plan, if you can call it a plan, is going to be to the county.”

Dumfries man sought in shooting at youth FB games SHOOTING, from page 1 The shooting was reported to police at about 10:23 a.m. and occurred during games played by youth football teams affiliated with “703 United Youth Sports,” a private youth sports league offering flag football, tackle football and cheerleading to more than 500 kids ages 5 to 13 living in Northern Virginia, according to its website.

The coach of a flag football team for 6- and 7-year-olds said he was on a grassy hill adjacent to the playing fields when he heard the gunfire.

“There were three pops, and … I knew they were gunshots, so I pushed my kids down to the ground,” said the coach of “The Young Gunz,” a federal police officer who asked that his name not be published.

“It’s the training in me to get the kids down on the ground,” the coach said. Once he realized the shooting had stopped, he urged all of the kids and their parents to run toward the parking lot.

“I was just saying, ‘Go, go go!’ I

was trying to tell all these parents to get their kids and run,” he said. “My main concern was for the safety of our children. … I just kept telling them, ‘Don’t stop. Keep running!”

One victim, he said, ran toward the parking lot yelling that he had been shot in the leg, the coach said. The coach said he was not sure what happened to the man, because he himself was rushing his kids toward his car.

The coach said he saw people gathered around one adult gunshot victim who was lying on the ground.

People were trying to stop his bleeding with a sweatshirt, he said.

Meanwhile, “911 jammed up” with all the people calling to report the shooting, he said.

Carr said police do not know how many people were at the Benton Middle school fields when the shooting occurred.

A police investigation into the incident has so far determined that the shooting came after two men and an acquaintance, identified as the suspect, got into a verbal disagree-

At some point, the suspect pulled out a firearm and fired multiple rounds, striking both men, the release said.

Police located a weapon outside the school, which was collected for further processing. They did not say what kind of weapon was found nor where it was located, only that it was discovered by a police K-9 unit canvassing the school grounds. No additional property damage nor injuries were reported, police said.

Gordon, the suspect, is described as a Black male with a medium complexion who is approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds.

He has black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information regarding this shooting is asked to contact the Prince William County Police Department tip line at 703-7927000 or by submitting a tip online at www.pwcva.gov/policetip.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

County’s climate change commitments must be part of its new comprehensive plan Prince William County’s proposed 2040 Comprehensive Plan, as it currently stands, is a vision for a developer’s heaven.

Environmental sustainability in the document seems to rely mainly on the concept of “open space.”

There’s a lot more involved in protecting against climate change than just protecting open space.

A countywide water study should be funded and completed in order to have some science behind this plan. County commitments to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, or “COG,” include commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions countywide to 50% of the 2005 level by the year 2030.

The plan needs to establish policies and action strategies that will enable the county to meet the 2030 target.

The explicit directive from the board of county supervisors to incorporate the goals of the county’s “Climate Mitigation and

Climate Resilience” resolution into the comprehensive plan is all but absent from the land use chapter.

The chapter does not draw a clear link between land use and climate mitigation or climate resilience. The chapter does not discuss the link between land use and carbon storage.

Land use is one of the principal policy instruments available to address heat islands and other opportunities to improve resilience.

The land use chapter should specifically address resilience to climate change.

Planning commissioners, please engage with the planning department and have them incorporate climate mitigation and climate resilience into the land use chapter.

Please ensure a complete and consistent 2040 Comprehensive Plan by implementing the board of supervisors’ existing climate change mitigation commitments.

Rare trumpeter swans spotted locally late into spring

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

On Saturday, April 30, birding expert Dave Larsen raced over to Regency Golf Course in Haymarket after receiving a text message from a neighbor alerting him that he’d seen swans while golfing that afternoon.

When he arrived, Larsen, a birding expert, was surprised to find three huge, white trumpeter swans meandering around the seventh hole.

It was an unexpected find for Larsen because trumpeter swans are a rare sight in Prince William County, especially in the spring.

ROUNDING THIRD

Prince William County’s top baseball and softball squads gear up for the stretch run

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

They’re heading for home in high school baseball and softball with the final district games looming and titles on the line.

Going into Tuesday, Battlefield sits atop the Cedar Run in both baseball and softball, while Woodbridge softball is unbeaten in the Cardinal District and Colgan baseball is riding another winning streak.

Osbourn Park is hot on the Bobcats’ tails in softball, while Patriot is Battlefield’s nearest challenger in baseball. Forest Park baseball and Colgan softball are in the late-season mix, too.

In the Class 3 Northwestern District, Brentsville softball and baseball are putting together winning campaigns.

Battlefield baseball leads Patriot in Cedar Run race

The Battlefield Bobcats (14-2, 9-1 going into Thursday) are in a dead heat with Freedom of South Riding for the Cedar Run District lead.

Both have one district loss.

With five precious games left before the postseason, coach Jay Burkhart preaches that the Bobcats stay the course.

“We need to stick to what has brought us success,” said Burkhart. “Handle big moments and execute. We must remember we only have one attempt for execution.”

The Bobcats have been led by their college-level pitching staff, headlined by West Virginia Univer-

Woodbridge (6-0) is trying to hold off Colgan (5-1) in the Cardinal District. sity signee Carson Estridge and Roanoke College future hurler Jack Robinson.

That hard-throwing duo, combined with righty Ethan Owen and freshman lefty Sammy Michel, have helped Battlefield put up seven shutouts and a team ERA of 0.92.

Michel tossed a no-hitter April 27 versus Osbourn.

“He has great off-speed to go along with his mid-80s fastball,” said Burkhart of Michel, an experienced travel-squad pitcher. “I think this pays off in not being afraid of the big stage.”

Catcher J.P. Williams, bound to play for George Mason University, has been solid both behind and at the plate. Cooper Harris leads the Bobcats in average, while Kehler Hamilton has been an extra-base threat.

Hamilton’s grand slam helped Battlefield deal Colgan its only loss in a 7-4 decision April 13.

“Our pitching has been phenomenal,” Burkhart assessed. “This team is good if we stay disciplined at the plate.”

The Patriot Pioneers (10-5, 6-3 going into Tuesday) are third in the Cedar Run standings, two games up on Gainesville in the loss column.

Coach Nick Grove thinks the Pioneers’ spring break trip to a Myrtle Beach tournament could pay dividends this postseason.

Patriot took second in the tourney, losing only to a 22-2 Aynor (S.C.) team by a 7-6 score April 15.

“The one-run loss was tough but taught us some lessons,” said Grove. He noted that Patriot’s six non-conference opponents totaled a record of 84-36.

The Pioneers don’t yet own a win over Battlefield, Colgan, or Freedom of South Riding, being outscored 25-11 in four contests against those three.

“We also know Colonial Forge and Forest Park are having strong seasons,” Grove said. “We are going to have to play flawless baseball to have a chance to reach the state tournament.”

Prince William County Rugby Football Club hosts May 14 tourney

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

Prince William County Rugby Football Club members Blake Seibold (front), Brett Quai Hoi (back), and Jamie Ferrio (right) combine for a tackle against Frederick.

Hosted by the Prince William County Rugby Football Club, the third annual edition of The Kings 10s tournament takes place May 14 on the field at Buck Keyes American Legion Post 28 in Triangle. Kickoff is at 9 a.m.

Admission is free for the tourney, which culminates the spring season in amateur rugby and kicks off the summer.

Eight teams are expected to compete in a series of 10-on-10 matches, each consisting of two 10-minute halves. The tourney will be followed by a social event for the players.

“Rugby 10s are not very common,” PWCRFC president Dominic Marchionna said. “We host this tournament at this time of year because it helps ease the transition from 15-on-15 rugby union to summer sevens.”

The King’s 10s is named after former player and founding member Garrett “The King” Wilson, who se-

PWCRFC Owls host unusual 10-on-10 rugby tournament in Triangle RUGBY, from page 15 This year the field has expanded from five teams to eight.

“Our expectations are for a great day of rugby on and off the field,” Marchionna said.

Spring recap

The Owls of PWCRFC went 1-3 during the

spring portion of their match schedule.

A 44-19 triumph March 19 over the Washington Scandals was followed by a pair of losses to Severn River (42-0) and Frederick (50-24), a team one division higher than Prince William’s Division 4.

A “heartbreaking” 26-25 loss April 23 to Patuxent River brought the Owls to 1-3.

“While it did not show in the standings, the club has grown and greatly improved throughout

this spring,” Marchionna said.

The Owls’ roster features players as old as 42 and as young as 17, including Woodbridge Senior High School juniors Jason Lockamy and Jamie Ferrio, whose father Chris is a longtime PWCRFC player.

The Ferrios have both been in Prince William’s starting 15 for every match this year, with Chris at prop and Jamie at flanker.

Baseball standouts include Battlefield, Colgan; OP; Battlefield, Woodbridge excelling in softball HOME STRETCH, from page 15

Woodbridge leads Colgan in Cardinal District softball

Colgan, Forest Park dominate Cardinal District baseball

The Colgan Sharks (16-1, 7-0 going into Tuesday) made the Class 6 state final last year and look like they could make it back this year.

“Early on we were not playing to our abilities but as of late we are getting better,” coach Mike Colangelo said. “We have a team that is comprised of 15 very competitive players, all who have done their role with great success.”

The Sharks are batting over .350 as a team with more than 100 stolen bases. The pitching staff is holding opponents to a 0.34 ERA and a batting average of .099.

The only time Colgan surrendered more than two runs was a 7-4 loss April 13 to Battlefield, the Sharks’ sole setback.

Colangelo and his assistant Brandon Carter caution against overconfidence.

“It’s my job to eliminate the pressure people try to place on these young athletes,” he said. “All I hear is if Colgan doesn’t win states, it’s a disappointment. These kids will never disappoint me. I love them and wherever we finish is where we will stop and enjoy the journey.“ The Forest Park Bruins (12-5, 6-1 going into Tuesday) are hot on Colgan’s heels.

“Our expectation is to make a run at the district title and carry the momentum into postseason play,” coach Steve DeNard said. “We are striving for consistent play all around in a team effort.”

Leadoff man Harrison Ludington has keyed the Bruins’ offense with a .407 average, .515 on-base percentage, and 19 stolen bases.

Jack Pokorak is Forest Park’s top power threat, with three homers and 29 RBI to go along with a .380 av-

On the mound, Ludington sports a 5-0 record, while Andrew Cheripka has won three of five decisions.

The Bruins and Sharks square off May 10 in Woodbridge.

Pitching propels Brentsville baseball

The Brentsville Tigers (9-4, 3-2 going into Friday) are ahead of schedule, giving the baseball team hopes of a strong postseason.

“Pitching has fallen into place sooner than we expected,” coach Brian Knight said. “Coleson Russell, J.J. Hand, Charlie Monfort, and Benjy Cardone have done a great job making the jump to pitching at the varsity level. They were needed since we only had Brayden Hutchison coming back with any varsity experience.”

That youthful staff has helped the Class 3 Tigers to a 6-2 mark versus Class 4 and 6 opponents, including a 3-1 victory March 22 over Forest Park.

“Our pitching will determine how far we go in the postseason,” Knight said.

Amari Frederick and the Yellow Jackets are fighting Battlefield for the Cedar Run District softball title.

Cedar Run District softball: Battlefield, OP locked in fight

The Battlefield Bobcats (11-1, 7-1 going into Tuesday) and the Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets (10-2, 7-1 going into May 11) are locked up in a duel for the district softball lead.

The teams split two head-to-head meetings in narrow fashion. The Bobcats won 11-9 in extra innings March 29, then the Jackets nipped Battlefield 5-4 April 29.

After a state tournament appearance last year, Osbourn Park coach Patrick Derosa takes his team into the postseason as a senior-led group.

“We have five strong seniors that contribute to our lineup every day,” Derosa said.

Senior third baseman Darrah Nickens is OP’s top hitter with a .583 average including eight doubles and three triples. She’s also pitched to a 1.88 ERA and a 3-0 record when spelling senior starter Alena Hillyard, who’s 7-2 with a 3.35 ERA. Hillyard, Reagan Wolford, Cassie Mills (.405 average), Samantha Borrayo (.469 average and three triples), Shelby Presgrave (.419 average and three homers) comprise the heart of OP’s lineup.

The Woodbridge Vikings (7-3, 6-0 going into Tuesday) are attempting to hold off Colgan (7-6, 5-1 going into Tuesday) for the district softball lead.

Coach Nicole Belk says her Vikings are taking a different approach.

“Pushing more team bonding,” she said. “We’re pounding the fielding reps and hitting multiple times a week.”

The Vikings boast four players already committed to play in college, including junior pitcher Grace Clary (Roanoke College), senior catcher Sarah Medellin (Shenandoah University), senior shortstop Reina Washington (Virginia State University), and senior first baseman Ryleigh Moore (Pfeiffer University).

Sophomore utility player Jericho Tate has been strong in the leadoff spot with a .486 batting average.

The Vikings look to improve on last year’s playoff run, which ended in heartbreaking fashion in a 2-1 loss to Massaponax in the Region 6B tournament.

“We have high expectations for this team, we win as a family and lose as a family and continue to get better day by day,” Belk said.

Woodbridge and Colgan face off May 13 at the Vikings’ place.

Brentsville softball out to win Northwestern District

The Brentsville Tigers (9-4, 3-1 going into Friday) are coming off a 3-2 triumph Monday over Patriot.

Brentsville is led by sophomore pitcher Tea Cornett, junior infielder Raegan Cullen, and senior Ellie Post, the reigning Region 3B Player of the Year bound to play for Christopher Newport University.
