On data centers: How much is enough?

Data show PWC is on track to overtake Loudoun in data center development

As debate rages over a plan to open 2,100 acres of rural land in the northern end of Prince William to a huge new data center industrial park called the Prince William Digital Gateway, much of it hinges on the claim that the county is running out of land for data center use.

Much of that conclusion hinges on how much land has been or can be developed inside the county’s “Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District,” an irregular blob of properties mostly in the county’s center that offers access to the electric power, fiber-optic cable and other utilities and allows data center construction by-right. Not to be ignored, however, is the question of how much data center development is also underway outside the overlay district. Now, a new county report sheds light on those questions, suggesting that there is more data center space likely to be developed in Prince William County than was supposed.

The girls donned long sparkly dresses and the highest of heels, while the boys wore traditional suits and tuxedos mixed with a few brightly colored jackets, some paired with ties and others with open collars and gold chains. Whatever their outfits, Potomac Senior High School juniors and seniors arrived at prom with a common goal: to have fun with their friends like normal teenagers.

“It feels like we’re back to a new normal – like how it should be for kids our age,” said Keyana Stewart-Lamptey, one of about 400 students who attended the May 7 event.

“To celebrate and be together in a safe environment.”

Over the last several weekends, Prince William County’s 13 high schools have been making up for lost time when it comes to proms -- with fancy dances stretching from the Sweeney Barn and the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas to the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle.

The Manassas City Council passed a $271.6 million budget for fiscal year 2023 on Tuesday that will result in an average $234 increase in real estate tax bills for city homeowners next year.

The council reduced the existing real estate tax rate by 8.7 cents from $1.222 to $1.135 per $100 in assessed value and kept the city’s personal property and fire and rescue tax rates unchanged. The combined real estate tax and fire and rescue levy total $1.342 per $100 in assessed value. The tax bill increase is the result of rising property values.

The budget includes 5% raises for both city staff and teachers and staff at Manassas City schools.

Subvariants are driving new rise in COVID-19

By Kate Masters Virginia Mercury

For the first time since February, Virginia’s percent positivity — the percentage of lab-tested COVID-19 samples that come back positive — has risen above 10% as new infections continue to increase across the state.

Experts say the uptick in cases, which mirrors nationwide trends, is driven by more infectious subvariants of the already highly transmissible omicron strain. Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that nearly 99% of new infections in a six-state region that includes Virginia are caused by BA.2 or BA 2.12.1, recently detected variations of the virus.

BA.2 is estimated to be between 30% to 60% more transmissible than the original omicron variant, and BA.2.12.1, in turn, is around 25% more transmissible than BA.2, ac-

cording to the CDC. The continued emergence of new variants is a concern for infectious disease experts after a months-long — and much-needed — lull in cases. COVID-19 infections in Virginia peaked at an all-time high in mid-January but began dropping precipitously soon afterwards, according to data from the state’s Department of Health. March and April marked some of the lowest case rates since the start of the pandemic.

But epidemiologists still aren’t sure whether the state has seen its last major surge. While there’s no evidence that new subvariants cause more severe disease, their enhanced transmissibility is partially due to an uncanny ability to evade protection conveyed through vaccines and previous infections. So while the majority of the country has some degree of immunity through immunization or an earlier case of omicron — or a combination of both — it’s likely not

Prince William Health District Weekly COVID-19 report Level of Community Transmission*: Prince William County: LOW City of Manassas: LOW City of Manassas Park: LOW Total cases: 110,657 (up 905) Hospitalizations: 3,869 (up 20) Deaths: 844 (unchanged) Percent-positivity rate: 14.5% (up from 11%)

enough to prevent new cases from spreading.

“We know from the fact that cases have doubled that our vaccines and immunity from prior infection are not working that well,” said Dr. Bill Petri, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Virginia. “That’s rubber meets the road — that’s real-world evidence that the vaccines

are not optimally protective. There’s an immunity gap today that wasn’t there a month ago.”

What exactly that means for the future, though, is still largely unclear. Despite the immune-evading capabilities of new viral variants, existing vaccines still appear largely effective against severe outcomes including hospitalization and death.

Manassas City OKs $271.6M new budget BUDGET, from page 1 During the May 9 meeting, the council passed seven ordinances and three resolutions presented by finance director Diane Bergeron to formally adopt the 2023 budget.

There were no surprises -- the council had previously held seven budget work sessions and one public hearing to make the economic decisions needed for the operation and administration of the city during fiscal year 2023, which begins July 1.

Without discussion, the council passed the new property tax rate along party lines, with the four Democrats voting yes and the two Republicans voting no.

During preliminary discussions at an April 27 budget work session, Council member Theresa Coates Ellis (R) had advocated for cutting the real estate tax rate to an overall rate of $1.307, an amount she said would keep tax bills flat. But her proposal was voted down in a straw vote.

In an email to the Prince William Times, City Manager W. Patrick Pate explained that under the new rate, the average residential property owner can expect a $234 annual increase in their real estate tax bill while the average non-residential property owner will see a $465 reduction. The real estate tax revenue is expected to rise 2.65% overall, Pate said.

With regard to the personal property tax, or the tax paid on vehicles, the council voted on party lines to maintain the current rate of $3.60 per $100 in valuation. Because of the rise in used car values, retaining the current rate is estimated to raise an additional $1.8 million. The average value of a vehicle in the City of Manassas is $9,200, and the median value $5,930, Pate said.

Vice Mayor Pamela Sebesky (D) pointed out that the Manassas City has the second-lowest personal property tax rate in Northern Virginia next to Manassas Park. But Ellis said she could not vote for the personal property tax rate because of the “$1.8 million excess.”

Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger (D) asked Pate for clarification on the use of the $1.8 million, and he explained that it would be used to offset the reduction in the real estate tax rate and will not increase the budget.

“We’re estimating $1.8 million in additional personal property tax revenue. But the [real estate] tax rates you just adopted took out 3 cents or roughly $1.8 million out of the budget. So we’re not increasing the budget at all, based on this. Basically we reduced the [real estate] tax rate in lieu of reducing the personal property tax rate,” Pate said.

The council passed the $271.6 million operating budget also along party lines.

Ellis said she could not support the operating budget because she does not support the tax rates and because she believes some expenses are “lumped together” and “not thoroughly looked through.” She said that there was money available in the operating budget that would support a flat tax rate. “We have a lot of questions that have not been answered on this operating budget,” Ellis said.

Council member Lynn Forkell Greene (R) also did not support the budget. Greene said that the council had “worked together to make some real positive movements” in the budget. She said that she was happy the council was able to agree on a lower tax rate than was originally proposed. But in the end, she said that

while “a lot of hard work went into this budget,” she could not vote for the budget as a whole.

“If we could vote line by line, I’d have a different response, but unfortunately it’s really hard to support the whole when you don’t support a part,” Greene said.

The council voted to raise the annual salaries for city council members to $18,000, which is the state cap, and to cap the mayor’s salary at $20,000, beginning in fiscal year 2024. The measure passed 4-2, also along party lines.

Both Sebesky and Greene pointed out that the raise won’t go into effect until July 1, 2023, which means that the raise will not be in effect for the current council members.

Ellis said the raise was a “big jump” and that it is not the time to give raises to elected officials who serve the public.

Pate said that 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, staff proposed that the council make the change in order to “bring the city’s practices and policies more in line with state law.”

Bergeron said that the move will cost less than $12,000 and will eliminate the need for any further administrative actions by human resources and finance staff.

The council also passed the fiveyear capital improvement program as well as ordinances setting the water, sewer and electric utility rates, stormwater management service fees, community development fee schedules, and the airport fee and rent schedule.

Del. Danica Roem announces bid for the state Senate First transgender state legislator campaigns on ‘Fixing roads, feeding kids’

State Senate Districts: Prince William County has three state Senate districts following the 2021 redistricting process: the 29th, 30th and 33rd.

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Del. Danica Roem, the first openly transgender state legislator in the U.S., announced Monday she’s running for the Virginia state Senate in 2023 in the newly drawn 30th District.

Roem, 37, is in her third term in the Virginia House of Delegates’ 13th District, a seat she first won in 2017 by unseating former delegate Bob Marshall, a conservative Republican who held the seat for more than two decades and once referred to himself as the Virginia General Assembly’s “chief homophobe.” Marshall is the architect of Virginia’s 2006 Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, which remains in place, despite being invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Roem announced her run with a new video on social media that acknowledges a rise over the past year of anti-LGBTQ legislation around the country, including Florida’s new law that prohibits public school teachers from discussing gender identity and sexual orientation in the early grades, a measure some call the “don’t say gay bill,” as well as measures in Texas and Arkansas that limit access to gender-affirming care for trans youth.

“Across the country, we’re seeing discriminatory politicians attack LGTBQ kids instead of serving their constituents. Now is the time to push back, to be vulnerable enough to be visible,” Roem says in her video. “To show those kids they have a friend in the halls of power who actually helps people instead of hurts them.”

In an interview just prior to her announcement,

Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, of Manassas.

Roem did not focus on her trailblazing status, but rather on the work she says still needs to be done in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park. Roem said her primary reason for running for Senate is to continue representing her current constituents; 16 of the 18 precincts in her current 13th District are included in the state Senate’s new 30th District. The district includes most of northwest Prince William County, including Manassas and Manassas Park.

“For me, the most important thing is to continue representing most of my constituents, and the only way to do that is to run for the 30th District,” she told the Prince William Times.

Roem called her work to improve Va. 28 “absolutely my first priority.” But she also said she’ll continue to focus on expanding access to food for hungry Virginia schoolchildren and adults, commitments reflected in her new campaign slogan: “Fixing roads, feeding kids.”

Roem notes that 10 of the 32 bills she passed during her four and a half years in the General Assembly have dealt with ensuring children are not penalized for school meal debt, requiring schools to take advantage of federal programs that provide free meals and allowing restaurants and convenience stores to accept food stamps for prepared meals, among other things. Roem’s many initiatives around school lunches prompted fellow Del. Lamont Bagby, D-74th, to dub Roem “the lunch lady,” a nickname she embraces.

Now, Roem says, the federal government’s unwillingness to continue a COVID-19 relief measure that allows universal access to free school meals will mean more work on the state level.

Already, Democrats have included a measure in the state budget, which is not yet final, to make “reduced-price” school meals free for low-income children and families. Roem says she expects other measures will be needed to ensure students have access to healthy foods.

“It’s now on the states to clean up this mess,” she said, adding: “The lunch lady is always cooking up something.”

PROM, from page 1

‘We’re just here to have fun’

The proms began in late April and will continue through this coming weekend.

Potomac was the only high school to hold its prom at the school division’s Edward L. Kelly Administration Building outside Manassas this year. The building houses the school division’s administrative staff during the work week but has opened its soaring atrium for prom since it opened in the early 2000s.

Having prom at the Kelly building is a bit more work, but Potomac High Senior High School prom coordinator Ashley Catlett, a ninth-grade English teacher, said they made it happen with help from a professional decorator and caterer and support from the school’s PTO – along with lots of work by student organizers and staff sponsors.

Students arrived Saturday night to find the atrium swathed in black draping that surrounded a large dance floor circled with tables decorated with giant, white feather centerpieces. There were photo booths with sparkly backdrops and a 360-degree video station with a looping camera that proved to be a hit.

The theme was “Midnight Masquerade.”

It was all the result of months of planning and fundraising by students who met daily in recent weeks to iron out every detail, said junior class president Kirsten Amemastro.

“It’s really a privilege to be able to do this again,” she said. “We wanted to make it really special for our seniors because they missed so much.”

The COVID-19 pandemic canceled high school proms in 2020 and forced them to be held in abbreviated forms in 2021. Last year, most schools set up red carpets and some decorations inside their buildings and invited groups of students to sign up for time slots to take pictures and hang out. Many then went to restaurants for dinner. It was an effort to provide an opportunity for students to get dressed up for a night out while still maintaining COVID protocols.

Because schools were back to normal this spring, they were free to return to traditional proms, although the pandemic was still a factor.

Potomac Senior High School Principal Brandon Boles said COVID was weighing on his mind “quite a bit” as students danced and snapped pictures – mostly maskless – during their prom at the Kelly Building.

Still, Boles said the space is larger -- and the students more spread out -- than they typically would be in their hallways at school.

“This is the reality of our community right now,” Boles said, noting that the school has been following all the necessary protocols, such as allowing kids to wear masks if they want to and promoting getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

“But we also want to make sure our students and their families have some sense of normalcy, so we’re doing the best we can.”

While a few students did wear masks or face coverings of some sort to prom, most did not and said they were trying not to be too worried about COVID-19. Cases in Prince William County schools have been rising steadily over the past few weeks as the region copes with another surge driven by strains of the Omicron variant.

“I feel we’re not too worried because most of our students have been vaccinated,” Amemastro said.

“We’re just grateful we don’t have to worry about COVID,” added Stewart-Lampty. “We’re just here to have fun.”

Still fixing Route 28

Back in 2017, Roem’s campaign slogan was “Fix 28 and Innovate.”

Roem said she would continue to focus on Va. 28 by working to win the $58 million in funding needed to implement five “R-cut” intersections and other improvements identified in a “STARS” study of the Va. 28 corridor.

(STARS stands for “strategically targeted affordable roadway solutions).

But Roem remains opposed to the much more expensive $300 million Va. 28 bypass. Roem has twice voted against the bypass as a member of the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority and says she opposes the project both because it will require the taking of residents’ homes and because the road is proposed along an environmentally sensitive floodplain.

Roem said she wants to work with the Virginia Department of Transportation to replace three dangerous intersections in Gainesville along Rollins Ford Road – at Braided Stream, Estate Manor and Yellow Hammer drives – with roundabouts, which she

said would be safer for residents.

More broadly, Roem says she hopes to expand the Virginia Railway Express schedule to include more evening and weekend trips and wants to see regional transportation entities collaborate to create a new commuter bus route from Manassas to Dulles International Airport with stops in Chantilly, Reston, Herndon and Sterling along the way.

“The fact of the matter is, tens of thousands of my constituents go to Chantilly, Reston, Herndon and Sterling every single day,” she said.

“We have to look outside the beltway for mass transit service, if for no other reason than to get more traffic off of I-66 and Va. 28 each day.”

Data centers, the Bi-County Parkway

Roem also remains opposed to the Bi-County Parkway in all its form; supports Prince William County’s “rural crescent” development restrictions and says she’s opposed to opening the rural area to data centers.

“I oppose data centers existing in Gainesville and Haymarket,” Roem said. “I know it’s a local land-use

issue, but the state deals with roads and the state deals with transmission lines … and I don’t want to see any more transmission lines going up in Gainesville or Haymarket.”

Roem notes that Dominion has “in no way signed off” on new data centers tapping into existing transmission lines for power.

“We know they do not have the existing infrastructure to support the amount of data centers they want,” she added. “My constituents are absolutely tired of dealing with the Bi-County Parkway and the transmission lines. We know that data centers don’t help either of those things.”

So far, Roem is the only Democrat to announce a run for the seat. Ian Lovejoy, a former Manassas city councilman, announced on March 17 his intent to seek the GOP nomination. In his announcement, Lovejoy, 40, called the state Senate, led 21-19 by Democrats, “broken” and said he would focus on “lowering taxes, improving public safety, empowering parents and supporting teachers” if elected.

Lovejoy owns Reliant Hiring Solu-

tions, a firm that facilitates job fairs, and briefly owned Treasure Quest Adventures, which conducted outdoor puzzle- and trivia-question-based scavenger hunts featuring $10,000 prizes.

In a March interview, Lovejoy said he would focus on improving transportation in Northern Virginia by encouraging teleworking as much as possible and would be a voice for pro-life values in the state Senate.

Roem said she supports reproductive freedom and would support any move to codify abortion rights in Virginia if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade in June. The move is expected following the May 2 leak of the court’s draft majority opinion, which argues that the U.S. Constitution does not speak to abortion rights.

“As a trans woman, if you gut reproductive freedom for some people, it is a very short link to gutting reproduction rights for other people,” Roem said. “If I don’t want the government … interfering with the autonomy of my body, I don’t want it to happen for other people.”

Duane Keller – chef/culinary leader Growing up in a small town like Hershey, Pennsylvania, Chef Duane Keller relates well to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where Jubilation of Silver Companies, a new 55 and over community, is located.

Chef Keller started working when he was 13 at Hotel Hershey. He’s been in the hospitality business ever since and says he never thought of doing anything else. He is a well-known culinary leader. Some of the highlights include helping Julia Child celebrate her 90th birthday, serving his creations to four presidents, and at multiple inaugurations. He describes Julia Child’s event as a “wine party for 150 people.”

Being on the Jubilation team resonates with Chef Keller.

“These guys at Jubilation are just like me. Larry (Silver) and his family in a small town. It attracted me to Fredericksburg,” he said.

While his chef role at Jubilation is his first foray into senior living, Chef Keller says it’s all about the food and the top quality ingredients he and his team are able to acquire for the wonderful culinary they prepare every day.

“We’re lucky we’re at Jubilation. It’s all positive.

They show so much appreciation. They (the residents) are in good hands,” said Chef Keller.

“It’s whole food and sustainable. We like to spoil them. And they know good food. We prepare, good, simple straightforward comfort food.”

He also said the residents like to have fun with him. He said every day they come down to look at the menu at 3 p.m. to see what it has. “Every single day they say we don’t think you can outdo what you did last night. Every day.”

“They are betting on when I will duplicate a menu. Since November 2, not yet! Some of them take their desserts first because they are so delicious and the residents want to ensure they save room for dessert!

Chef Keller comes from a hockey family and hockey was the bread and butter of the family.

His dad played in the NHL and is in the hall of

fame. He was the first player to have a contract in the NHL. “It’s a lot like hockey at Jubilation. I am a player and coach. We have a small team. I do it all. That means cooking, cleaning, dishes and anything we have to do. The residents are awesome. They stand up and clap when I come out of the kitchen,” he says.

For Chef Keller, he enjoys every aspect of culinary and being in the kitchen – no matter which kitchen he’s in.

“It’s everything from the art to the science.

The art is the fun side and being creative. The science is handling food correctly,”said Chef Keller.

“In other words, one third of the food we eat comes from pollination due to honeybees. To put it simply, it is about one in every three bites of food.”

Working at Jubilation and being around the residents gives Chef Keller much joy. He said knowing that they are happy and eating healthy is wonderful.

What does Chef Keller enjoy when he’s not in the kitchen? He has two carbon fiber bikes, plays chess, entertains (invites friends over and cooks) and watches and plays hockey. His favorite food is seafood. He also said seafood is the most difficult food to cook.

Chef Keller gets inspiration from a lot of people including chefs and leaders he has worked with and a few big names like Jeremiah Towers, Julia Child and Emeril Lagasse.

If people described Chef Keller using three words, he thinks these are the words they would use: Humble, creative and jovial.

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 cocktail hours with tapas, to yoga and spinning classes, all organized by an on-site 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.

“The greatest reward is meeting each member and personally hearing from each one of them. It keeps you going!” said Chef Keller. “They make me feel youthful. We had so much fun on New Year’s Eve.”

Data centers: Loudoun vs. Prince William

A “Data Center Overlay FAQ,” released April 29, details Prince William County’s data center development – existing and underway -- for the first time. A Prince William Times analysis shows the county is on track to exceed data center development in Loudoun County – which now has the largest concentration of data centers in the world -- even without the proposed Prince William Digital Gateway.

LOUDOUN COUNTY:

Data centers current, under construction: 29 MSF

PRINCE WILLIAM

Existing: 33 data centers (5.5 MSF) 29 inside the OD 4 outside the OD Under construction or pending: 19 11 inside the OD (7.7 to 15.4 MSF) 8 outside the OD (15.9 MSF) SUBTOTAL existing, under construction: 29.1 to 36.8 MSF

Additional, potential data centers: COURTESY PHOTO

An aerial photograph of the Gainesville Crossing data center complex, one of the county’s largest at 2.5 million square feet, which is now under construction outside the data center overlay district along Interstate 66.

On data centers: How much is enough?

DATA CENTERS, from page 1 Prior to the report’s release, an evaluation of the overlay district by the county’s Department of Economic Development stood as the official measure. On May 27, 2021, its director, Christina Winn, sent a letter to the board of supervisors saying her department’s “market viability review” of the overlay district determined that of the district’s 8,700 acres, only 600 to 1,100 were “market viable” and only two of those parcels are larger than 100 acres – a size she said “most” data center operators are looking for.

That assessment was widely cited for nearly a year. A November 2021 flyer sent out by advocates of the Digital Gateway stated: “Currently there is only about 100 acres available” for data centers in the overlay district. And Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, appeared to refer to Winn’s conclusion in an email to a constituent. “There is not sufficient room in the current Overlay District. There are some parcels left, but they do not total much acreage and are not large enough nor contiguous for this type of project,” she wrote, explaining why the Digital Gateway deserves consideration. Citizens favoring the new data center corridor have said the same thing at public forums.

Winn declined to be interviewed for this story. Through a spokesperson, she maintained, as her May letter stated, that her department was just trying to identify parcels not already owned, used, nor planned for development by data centers – that is, those available to show to data center developers.

Still, the evaluation did not address how many data centers are likely to be built within the overlay district – and on its edges – when all is said and done. And that is not an arcane issue: It has become front and center in the debate over whether Prince William needs to expand its data center overlay district or open the rural area for the Digital Gateway. Key to those questions are policy decisions about how many data centers the county wants to allow, which have yet to be made.

Some county leaders have suggested that Prince William should take a lesson from Loudoun, which gets about 40% of its revenue from taxing the servers and other equipment in the huge warehouse-like buildings. Loudoun has 25 million square feet of data centers that are expected to bring in $586 million in tax revenue this year, with another 4 million more in development, according to the county’s website. However, Loudoun Coun-

ty’s tax rate on data center computer equipment is more than double that of Prince William’s -$4.20 per $100 in assessed value versus Prince William’s current rate of $1.50, which bumps up to $1.65 on July 1. Taxes on data centers generated about $80 million for Prince William County this past year.

Frustrated with the initially limited information coming from the county, western Prince William County residents Bob Weir and Bill Wright, two critics of the proposed Prince William Digital Gateway, set out to quantify data farm prospects in the county’s overlay district and on its fringes. Late last fall, they sifted through applications, staff reports, news reports and more to find what was being built and what was proposed. In the end, they identified more than 6 million square feet of operating data centers in Prince William County and found another 26.8 million square feet of buildings under development.

“There’s more land available than they claim there is. There’s more under development than they have told anybody. And at the end of the day, I’m concerned that they may be developing more square footage than is commercially viable,” said Weir, a Haymarket town councilman.

33 data centers, 19 more on the way

The new county report released April 29, titled “Data Center Overlay – Frequently Asked Questions,” uses a different approach than Wright and Weir but largely validates their findings. And together, they form a comprehensive look at prospective data center development in the county.

As a starting point, the new report says the county has 33 data centers in operation, including 29 inside the overlay district and four outside, totaling nearly 5.5 million square feet. Then, in a series of charts, county planners itemize 19 more data centers on the path to being built both inside and outside the overlay district.

Eleven of the 19 are found in a chart of 21 currently vacant parcels inside the overlay district that are larger than 30 acres. Eight are listed as “under construction” and three more as “pending.”

Overhead imagery shows that many are undergoing ground-clearing operations. There is no square footage listed for the 11 projects under construction or pending, but, assuming the 10,000 to 20,000 square feet of building per acre that is typical in Prince William, their collective 747.7 acres could add 7.5 million to 15 million more square feet to the county’s aggregate.

Undeveloped 30-acre sites inside the OD: 10 (? MSF) Applications for land-use changes to allow data centers outside the OD: 3 • House farm: 277 acres (6-12 MSF) • Devlin Tech Park CPA: 278 acres (4.2 MSF) • PW Digital Gateway CPA: 2,132 acres (27 MSF) SUBTOTAL applications to allow for data centers: 37.2 to 43.2 MSF TOTAL PWC current, pending and potential: 66.3 to 80 MSF Source: Prince William County Data Center Overlay Frequently Asked Questions. Key: OD - overlay district, SF square feet, MSF - million square feet, CPA - comprehensive plan amendment.

Turning to sites outside the overlay district, the planners list eight more applications, five of which have been approved by the county comprising 12.5 million square feet and three more that are pending. If all were approved, they would total nearly 15.9 million more square feet.

Thus, the data center properties listed as currently operating, under construction, or pending in some manner, both inside and outside the overlay district, could total between 29.1 and 33.4 million square feet – more than the 29 million Loudoun has right now.

Beyond those sites, there are 10 properties of more than 30 acres on the planners’ chart of 21 that are not yet under construction. They can all be turned into data centers by-right, and six of them are owned by known data center developers. Their 720 acres would yield at least 7 to 14 million more square feet.

The planners also report that three landowners outside the overlay have petitioned for changes to the comprehensive plan that would allow for three more data center campuses on 624 acres. One is the just-proposed Devlin Technology Park on 270 acres off Linton Hill Road previously slated for a Stanley Martin home development. It would accommodate up to 4.2 million square feet of data center buildings. Another is the House Family Farm, which has requested land-use and zoning changes to allow for a data center on its 277 acres in Nokesville. Assuming 10,000 to 20,000 square feet per acre, the three could create between 6 and 12 million more square feet of data buildings.

If all of the parcels mentioned above were developed, the county’s totals could reach 40 to 60 million square feet – a number that would nearly double Loudoun’s current data center space.

And that’s not counting the additional 27 million square feet that is proposed for the Prince William Digital Gateway.

Schools, police, local health experts warn parents about deadly fentanyl

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

Following the fatal overdoses last month of two Woodbridge teens, Prince William officials are warning parents and students of the of the deadly dangers of illicit fentanyl and urging them to become educated and remain vigilant to prevent more tragic deaths.

In a webinar hosted by the Prince William County school division on Thursday, May 5, local officials acknowledged that fentanyl was found in the counterfeit Percocet tablets, commonly known as “Perc30s,” connected to the recent deaths of two local students. A 15-year-old Woodbridge boy suffered a fatal overdose Sunday, April 24, which was followed by the overdose death of a 14-year-old Dale City boy on Tuesday, April 26.

“The police have shared that the counterfeit drugs in both incidents were preliminarily tested and confirmed as being laced with fentanyl,” said Denise Huebner, associate superintendent for special education and student support services.

The current drug trend Prince William police are seeing most are “Perc30s,” said Lt. Jeff Sheldon, a special investigations bureau commander with the county police department. Sheldon said PERC30s have “come to the forefront” not just in Prince William County but in Northern Virginia and nationally.

Perc30s are counterfeit pills that

contain oxycodone, an opioid pain reliever prescribed by doctors after surgeries or serious accidents. Oxycodone affects the central nervous system to relieve pain, according to the Mayo Clinic.

But Sheldon said law enforcement has seen a rise of imitation pills. Counterfeit Perc30s are generally manufactured abroad, mostly in Asia and Mexico, and pressed to look like genuine Percocet pills. The counterfeit Perc30 pills are sometimes laced with fentanyl, an extremely dangerous synthetic opioid that is 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine, Sheldon said.

Perc30s are commonly sold for about $30 a pill or less.

“It’s very, very dangerous, and this is what we are seeing the most of these days,” Sheldon said.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, synthetic opioid-involved deaths accounted for nearly 73% of all opioid-involved fatal overdoses in 2019, which were driven by fentanyl.

The dangerous pills are “accessible to everybody, including children,” because they can be ordered off the internet with just a credit card and delivery address, Sheldon said.

Jim Cox, a school division investigator, said kids generally order the pills on their phones or home computers over the internet from China, where they are manufactured, or from Mexican cartels. The pills are

“They literally can order a supply and have it shipped right to their house. Or, if they don’t want to get caught, have them shipped to a friend’s house, and that’s how they get it,” Cox said. “And that’s how it gets into the schools. If you think it’s not happening, look what just happened to our schools.”

Prince William County police, in conjunction with federal law enforcement, intercepted on Monday, May 2, a postal package containing 5,000 fentanyl-laced pills that resulted in the arrests of four local men.

“If you think about 5,000 pills, that could be 5,000 kids. It’s scary. We need to tell our kids that,” Sheldon said.

A few months prior to Monday’s arrest, Prince William police intercepted and arrested a person who

had 80,000 fentanyl-laced pills, Sheldon said.

The goal of the Prince William County Police Department is to prioritize the interdiction of fentanyl before it gets on the streets and also educating school-aged kids and their parents about the dangers because “one pill can be disastrous; it only takes one time,” he said.

Another concern: vaping

Mallory McKnight, the school division’s substance abuse prevention specialist, said vaping has been a growing trend in the schools since 2017. Kids had been vaping high concentrations of nicotine, but over the past year, school officials are seeing more students vaping marijuana, she said.

See FENTANYL, page 10

On data centers: How much is enough?

DATA CENTERS, from page 6

But wait, there’s more.

Of course, some applications might not get approved, and some developers might pull out, but there is another cache of potential data sites not cited in the planning office report. Wright and Weir identified 22 more parcels inside the overlay they labeled as “under development” in the county. Fifteen of those are not included in the county’s document because they are under 30 acres.

But research shows that smaller parcels are not necessarily undesirable. Indeed, the average parcel size for Prince William’s operating data centers is about 23 acres. Seven are on less than 10 acres; one is on 7.3 acres.

Lately, developers have been assembling smaller lots to make things work. Two weeks ago, for instance, Stack Infrastructure announced it had joined two parcels of 19.2 and 14.9 acres just west of Manassas into a 34.1-acre property on which it intends to build a 602,000-square-foot data building.

Others are using small lots but building up.

South Point Phase II LLC, which recently assembled 22.2 acres from six small parcels along Buckeye Timber Drive in Manassas, says it would like to create up to 530,000 square feet of data center space by building 67 feet, or at least three stories, high. Prince William allows data centers to build up to 75 feet high under the right conditions.

Developers are gobbling up other properties thought not desirable. The county economic development department’s May 2021 assessment,

“Prince William County is already on track to surpass Loudoun County as data center capital of the universe, even without the Prince William Digital Gateway.”

BILL WRIGHT, OPPONENT OF RURAL AREA DATA CENTERS

for instance, ruled out 627 parcels as candidates for data centers because they were occupied, were in use, or, the department believed, not for sale.

Seventy-two of them are between 10 and 40 acres in size. But in early April, by paying $1 million an acre, the real estate company PRP assembled two smaller properties west of Manassas among this group into a 35-acre parcel. It intends to build three data center buildings with a total of 990,150 square feet, according to Data Center Dynamics.

“The right price suddenly made the property available. And the opportunity made it worthwhile to clear and repurpose the land,” said Wright, a retired Navy captain who lives in Heritage Hunt.

Expanding without a decision.

Whether the county’s existing data center overlay district will be enlarged to add even more properties is set to be decided this summer or fall.

A contractor, Stantec Architectural of Arlington, is studying an expansion, and another contractor, Camoin Associates of Saratoga Springs, New

York, is doing a market analysis of data centers and other targeted industries. Both studies are due in a month or so, according to Deputy County Executive Rebecca Horner.

But in the meantime, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors has been expanding the overlay district anyway by approving data center projects via special use permits.

Two data centers totaling more than 500,000 square feet, one run by Amazon and one owned by DC 11 DE LLC, are operating in Haymarket outside the overlay district; they were approved before the overlay district was created in 2016. According to the planning office, five more parcels outside the district have been re-zoned for data center use since late 2019, including Gainesville Crossing, north of I-66 near U.S. 29, and the I-66 and U.S. 29 Technology Park, at U.S. 29 south of I-66.

Three other owners of land outside the overlay have re-zonings pending, and three more have requested changes in the county’s land-use plan so they can build data centers, too.

Adding up what’s built, what’s under construction, what’s pending approval and what’s likely, it appears that Prince William could well exceed the data center square footage of its neighbor to the north.

“You can see that Prince William County is already on track to surpass Loudoun County as data center capital of the universe, even without the Prince William Digital Gateway,” said Wright in a forum last week. Still, he noted, “the county has articulated no end goal for data center development.”

Teachers, school division verify support for collective bargaining

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

The employee signature cards have been counted and verified.

Now, the Prince William County School Board will vote sometime before mid-July on whether to move forward with collective bargaining for qualifying school division staff.

That’s where things stood as of Tuesday, May 10, in the ongoing and sometimes bumpy effort to secure collective bargaining rights for staff members of Prince William County’s largest employer: the local school division.

After butting heads over the last few weeks over a process for verifying the more than 5,000 employee signatures collected in support of collective bargaining, the Prince William Education Association and the Prince William County School Board came to an agreement last week on a way to proceed that the teachers’ union believes will prevent the school division from retaining signers’ identifying information.

On Tuesday, May 10, the PWEA, its attorney, school division human resources staff and school board attorneys met at the Edward L. Kelly Administration Building to check employee identification numbers from the cards and tally them in three broad categories of certified staff.

PWEA President Maggie Hansford said the procedure offered sufficient protection of the signers’ personal information, a priority of the teachers’ union.

The process took about four hours and resulted in the verification that a majority of the school division’s certified staff members support moving forward with collective bargaining, according to a joint statement from the school board and the PWEA. “We verified all the signatures, and we secured a majority, just like we said we did,” Hansford said in an interview Tuesday. “We’re excited to move the process forward for all PWCS employees.”

Hansford declined to release the exact number of signatures that were verified. But she said the only information retained by the school division are the three tallies of employees that fall within three broad categories of certified staff. The union has insisted it could not turn over the actual signature cards to the school division because of a concern among signers that they might suffer retaliation from school division administrators for supporting collective bargaining.

School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef acknowledged the verification process in a text message Tuesday and said a school board vote on whether to move forward would occur before mid-July.

Lateef declined to say, however, exactly when the vote will occur or whether he will support it.

“I have many other priorities in the agenda, specifically dealing with

“We verified all the signatures and we secured a majority, just like we said we did. We’re excited to move the process forward.”

We’ve Got Your Ride!

MAGGIE HANSFORD, PWEA president

the final budget from the General Assembly and anticipated cuts to the budget that may be needed,” Lateef said. “I have not focused on this issue, and so I have no further insight to add.”

The verification of the employee signature cards is just one step in the process. Under a law that went into effect in May 2021, local school boards and boards of supervisors can take action independently to adopt a collective bargaining process for public employees. If they choose not to initiate a vote, however, employees can force a vote through a demonstration that at least 50% of employees in a potential bargaining unit support collective bargaining.

Such a vote must take place within 120 days of that show of support, according to the new state law.

Hansford announced on March 18 that the PWEA had collected more than 5,000 employee signatures in support of collective bargaining. Her announcement triggered the 120-day timeline, which expires in mid-July.

If the process in the Prince William County school division comes to a successful conclusion, it will mark the first time ever that the school division’s more than 12,000 employees, including more than 6,500 teachers, will have the authority to bargain with school division administrators over matters that could include things such as pay, benefits and working conditions.

All of that depends on the details of a collective bargaining agreement, however, which has yet to be hammered out.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted in December to move forward with collective bargaining for its public safety employees and is working on an ordinance to move the process forward.

Schools, police, local health experts warn parents about deadly fentanyl FENTANYL, from page 8 Students are vaping substances that contain THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, which “is a huge concern we have right now,” McKnight said. THC can also be laced with fentanyl and vaping the drug can also cause overdose and death.

In addition to vaping risks, officials are concerned about Percocet, Xanax and other forms of opioids being abused by students. She said the current trends seen in the school division are consistent with trends nationwide.

What parents should do

McKnight said parents should be on the lookout for signs that their kids are experimenting with drugs, which can include changes in peer

groups, physical appearance, grooming habits, interests and academic performance. She said that some of these are typical adolescent behavior, so if something seems off, approach your child and in a nonjudgmental manner and ask them.

Finding pieces of vaping paraphernalia or pills lying around are red flags. McKnight stressed the importance of parents being mindful as they approach their children and letting their kids guide some of the conversation to avoid having them shut down and refuse to talk.

Corey Eaton, administrative coordinator for PWCS Heals, said sometimes a simple reminder about the dangers of pills can help protect your child.

“One parent I spoke to recently had a conversation with their family and they said, ‘If it’s not a doctor with a white lab coat giving you a pill, you

shouldn’t take it. If it’s not in this house and me as your parent is not giving you the pill, you should not take that pill.’”

McKnight said parents who feel they need help should not hesitate to reach out to professionals for advice on how to help their kids.

Parents – or anyone who suspects a young person is struggling with opioids – should contact the New Horizons program right away, said Heather Martinsen, a behavioral health and wellness supervisor with Prince William County Community Services.

New Horizons is a clinic-based program that provides free therapeutic services for youth and their families with mental health, substance use and co-occurring disorders and can be reached at 703-792-7812.

POLICE BRIEFS Police: 18-year-old Dumfries man dies in Gainesville shooting An 18-year-old Dumfries man died early Sunday morning after a shooting in a parking lot outside a Gainesville apartment complex, and police have yet to locate a suspect.

The victim, identified as Michael Arthur, 18, of Widewater Drive in Dumfries, died of gunshot wounds after being taken to an area hospital after the shooting, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County Police Department spokesman.

Police were alerted to the incident at 1:58 a.m. on Sunday, May 8. A police investigation determined the shooting occurred about an hour earlier in the parking lot of Somerset Pointe Apartments, located in the

14000 block of Deming Drive in Gainesville, Perok said in a news release.

Arthur was shot following a fight in the parking lot. Police located the crime scene and found that two vehicles had been struck by gunfire. No other injuries were reported, Perok said in a news release.

Preliminarily, the incident does not appear to be random, and there is no active threat to the community. The investigation continues.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the Prince William County Police Department tip line at 703-792-7000 or submit a web tip to: pwcva.gov/policetip.

Firefighters were called to the residence, located in the 9000 block of Lomond Drive, after neighbors reported the house fire at about 2:12 p.m. Thursday, May 5. Crews arrived to find heavy fire emitting from the rear of the home. No one was home when the fire began, according to Prince William County Assistant Fire Chief Matt Smolsky.

The structure sustained extensive damage, but no injuries were reported, Smolsky said in a news release.

The county building official declared the home unsafe to occupy, and an investigation by the county fire marshal’s office determined the fire was electrical in nature, Smolsky said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

State’s tree-planting efforts need a better strategy Thank you for your interesting and informative article “Progress Slow on Region’s Tree-planting Goals” in the April 28 Prince William Times. The “Phase III Watershed Implementation Plan,” with its tree-planting goal, seems like a logical and worthwhile endeavor.

However, I am not surprised the Virginia Department of Forestry metrics show the region to be far short of its goals.

Like most busy homeowners who commute, work, manage their property and attend to the tasks of daily life, I was unaware of this effort or an obscure website on which data from a routine yard chore should magically appear. The approach (plant a tree, log a number) also belies a lack of imagination in attacking this goal. Yes, individual homeowners can, over time, move the needle slightly by logging the one or two trees they plant during a landscaping project. However, meeting such an ambitious goal requires more original thinking.

I live on a 10-acre parcel in the endangered rural crescent (topic for a different day). I decided after the first couple of times mowing the four acres of former pasture immediately surrounding my house that I would not be doing so again.

I therefore left much of that land un-mowed, and over the course of several years it transitioned from pasture to meadow to “young forest,” as did several additional acres that were already meadow when I moved in. There are literally hun-

dreds (maybe thousands) of trees on my property that did not exist 15 years ago. Some percentage started growing in each of those years.

If every multi-acre landowner not engaged in farming or pasturing animals took a similar approach with just a small portion of their lot, the forested acreage in Prince William County would increase significantly, at virtually no cost to the property owner. It seems VDOF should initiate a campaign to actively encourage such a practice in pursuit of its watershed goals. One could even envision county tax abatement on any land so managed.

VDOF should also publicize additional data collection guidelines.

For instance, if I count all “baby” trees in my young forest under about 3 feet tall, should I assume they started growing in 2020 or later and log them in the database?

Likewise, if I transplant trees that spontaneously grew on one part of my property prior to 2020 to another part of my property, should I log those as newly planted trees (as if I bought them at a nursery)? I have over a dozen such trees.

Environmental goals such as you highlighted in your article only have meaning if there is a realistic execution plan to meet them. Perhaps you can use your column and contacts within the VDOF, county governments and community to socialize these ideas and further this campaign.

Data center placement is a health issue Gainesville is being turned into an industrial zone within walking distance of Heathcote Commons Townhomes, the Marque Apartments, Heritage Hunt and Gainesville High School.

Fifteen data stations and their substations will bring numerous rooftop noisy chillers and possible fuel spills. The construction will take about 10 years and will add diesel fuel trucks along Heathcote Boulevard. Gainesville is being choked out.

To add another 2,100 data center complex on Pageland Lane is totally irresponsible. Imagine if Heritage Hunt sold out its 800 acres too? It would totally destroy Gainesville.

If the Digital Gateway is such a

good deal for the county, then take those 30 buildings and spread them out. Gainesville CANNOT and SHOULD NOT take one more data centers.

Instead of being a county that only cares about revenue, let’s redo our reputation into one that cares about people. Put the data centers in already existing Industrial zones away from residents.

These corporations are not going anywhere. There will always be developers wanting to bring their companies to Prince William County.

I hope the board of supervisors will make a responsible difference and put the health of people first.

Environmentalist? I guess so When talking with government officials this past week, I was called “an environmentalist” and “an activist.” I never really considered myself either. I pushed back a little on “the labels,” but then I thought about it some more.

Yes, I do strongly care about the environment – for us today and for our kids and grandkids. Yes, I do care about a good, ethical government doing the right thing for its residents. I have been acting in the role of an activist for the past six months against the PW Digital Gateway project (data centers) on Pageland Lane. The more I learned about this project, the more flaws many of us came to realize.

1. It could likely lead to the Bi-County Parkway (traffic).

2. It poses risks to our drinking water (Occoquan Reservoir).

3. It negatively impacts “our his-

tory” with the nearby Manassas National Park and the hallowed ground along Pageland Lane.

4. The misinformation about the value of this project to Prince William County: No, the tax revenue will not be $700 million a year or anything close. (A county official called it “a marketing number.” I would say it was a lie.)

5. The available option of developing further in the existing data center overlay district.

I could go on and on.

So, I guess I am an activist and an environmentalist when I see the county government not listening to its citizens and following the greedy developers. It should be doing the right thing – right for the citizens of Prince William County.

In support of Crystal Vanuch for Congress This year, Stafford, Prince William and the Fredericksburg region have a unique opportunity to fill a seat in the newly created 7th congressional district. Republican Crystal Vanuch, two-time chair of the Stafford Board of County Supervisors, is running to defeat Abigail Spanberger and bring a fresh conservative voice to Capitol Hill.

Crystal was born, raised and lives in the 7th District. Those deep roots bring a knowledge and understanding that only comes from a lifetime of living, working and representing her hometown in the 7th District. She comes from a family of both law enforcement and military veterans, so she sees the challenges our police, military and veterans face every day. Crystal has shown an unwavering support for our first responders and successfully fought for one of their largest

raises in Stafford history. She will bring that much needed support to Washington. Crystal has been a fierce advocate for her constituents.

When a national mining company brought forth and application to advance operations closer to well established neighborhoods in north Stafford, she stood strong with her constituents who were understandably concerned about how that would impact their families and homes. She has held fast on limiting residential growth and pushed back when the development lobbies created proffer laws that benefited only themselves.

The special interests hold no sway over Crystal, and she is going to take that kind of advocacy to Washington. Vote Vanuch for Congress!

May is prime time for planting natives

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

Warmer days and lots of rain makes spring a great time to plant native plants. Many native plant sales are being held throughout the area over the next month -- just in time to get plants in the ground to support pollinators all year long.

Rain-soaked soil, steadily warming temperatures and long days of sunlight make spring a great time to add new plants to gardens and landscapes. Spring planting gives plants a growing season’s worth of root growth, so the plants get well established before the drying and freezing effects of long winters, says master gardener Robin Finehout.

May is a satisfying time to plant because colorful blooms arrive in time to enjoy them all summer and into fall.

Many of the local plant sales will offer exclusively native plants or have a wide variety of natives to choose from. Native, or local ecotype plants, are those that occur naturally in the region in which they evolved. They are perfectly suited to soil, climate conditions and growing season in that particular ecosystem, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Native plants tend to be resilient, require less maintenance and irrigation, and provide “ecosystem services” to your garden -- meaning they benefit pollinators and native

wildlife, said Nancy Berlin, a natural resource specialist and master gardener coordinator for Virginia Cooperative Extension. Native plants are essential to a healthy local ecosystem, and they are beautiful in landscaping too, she added.

Native plants support pollinator-friendly gardens, and even a small backyard garden can make a big difference for pollinators. The Audubon Society encourages native plants because “each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.”

This weekend is the Prince William Master Gardeners’ sale, which is held at the Teaching Garden at St. Benedict Monastery in Bristow on Sat., May 14 from 9 a.m. to noon.

Many of the plants available for sale are native plants, and they are all labeled and categorized for easy shopping.

Knowledgeable master gardeners are available to answer questions and give advice about plant selection and maintenance. The plants are all donated from the master gardeners’ personal gardens and those of their friends. All proceeds from the sale are used to support the teaching garden.

Peak native plant shopping is this weekend, but there are a few more plant sales happening through the beginning of June.

6th Annual Suicide Awareness Walk The rainy weather didn’t dampen spirits at Forest Park High School’s 6th Annual “Suicide Awareness Walk,” which returned on Saturday, May 7 after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

U.S. Rep. Gerald Connolly, state Sen. Jeremy McPike and several Prince William County supervisors and school board members joined students and members of the community for the event, which aims to raise awareness and end the stigma involved in seeking help for mental illness.

The event began with a mental health fair of sorts in the Forest Park High School gymnasium, where

various nonprofits were on hand to share information about help available in the community for those suffering from mental illness.

Speakers included Connolly, D-11th, McPike, D-29th, and Prince William County schools Superintendent LaTanya McDade, as well as student leaders.

The indoor portion of the event was followed by a 6-mile walk up and down Spriggs Road from Forest Park High School to C.D. Hylton High School and back.

The event was sponsored and led

by Forest Park High School students under the direction of social studies teacher Shannon Geraghty.

Students lead the 6-mile Suicide Awareness Walk with a banner declaring: “This is not the END.”

Students pick up beads signifying the effects of mental illness on their lives.

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER UPDATE

GOALS ACHIEVED, GOALS YET TO BE SCORED Brentsville girls, Colgan girls, Osbourn boys eye district titles and more

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

With postseason soccer tournaments kicking off Monday, teams around the county are gearing up for the win-or-go-home matches to come. In a sport like soccer, one great play or unfortunate mishap could mean the difference between the triumph of victory and a shocking loss.

A few clubs, like Brentsville’s girls, Colgan’s girls and Osbourn’s boys, had yet to taste defeat in district play as of May 11.

The Prince William Times surveys the top girls and boys high school soccer teams as they finish up outstanding regular seasons and take their promise into the playoffs.

CARDINAL DISTRICT GIRLS: Colgan remains unblemished at 11-0

The Sharks (11-0-0, 13-1-1 as of May 10) are perfect outside of a tie versus South County and a loss to Colonial Forge - both non-district contests.

Of their Cardinal opponents, only Woodbridge has come within a goal of Colgan, who own an average margin of victory of five.They’ve already clinched the top seed in both the district and regional tournaments.

On a squad loaded with talent, senior Alyssa DeGuzman and junior Samantha DeGuzman are standout goal-scorers, as are Emily Rivera, sophomore Cassandra Villafan, and junior Mia Arevalo-Delcid. The latter two recently played in the U-17 Women’s CONCACAF Championship, helping El Salvador to a 3-0 record.

CEDAR RUN GIRLS: Patriot still setting the tone

The Brentsville High girls soccer team celebrated after coach Sonny Barrickman won his 100th career game on April 29.

The Tigers are the scourge of the Class 3 Northwestern District at 11-0. the Class 6 state tournament after finishing runner-up a year ago.

Coach Kelly Beauchamp-Payne credits Patriot’s continuing success to “leadership, competitive spirit, and team grit.”

“Our leaders are the hardest workers and most positive kids possible,” she said. “We are pushing to become better with each opportunity. That is what makes the difference between good and great teams. I am lucky to have our group.”

The coach acknowledges her defense, led by goalie Abby Ochs and defenders Carly Brock, Hannah McGarvey, and Sophia Adame, as the team’s most standout aspect. The Pioneers are well-rounded offensively, driven by Carly Gillette’s 12 goals, and nine each from Camille Daniel and Dakota Russell.

NORTHWESTERN GIRLS: No one can touch Brentsville

The Tigers (6-0-0, 11-0-0 as of May 10) have already had one big celebration this year, when Sonny Barrickman won his 100th game as head coach April 29.

That milestone victory, 6-0 over William Monroe, closely resembled many of Brentsville’s wins so far.

The Tigers prevail by an average of 7.8 goals and have been scored upon just once, in a 5-1 win April 26 over Meridian.

Barrickman credits his senior corps of Madison Fitzpatrick, Taylor McGovern, Emma Thompson, Hannah Case, and Carly O’Leary for cementing Brentsville “as a unit instead of a group of individuals.”

Strikers Fitzpatrick and sophomore Maddie Howells are a high-scoring duo up front, while McGovern and sophomores Peyton McGovern and Tina Nardone control the midfield. The younger McGovern leads Brentsville in assists.

“Her ability to make plays is incredible,” Barrickman said.

Freshman goalie Hailey Garber is a rapidly rising star, backstopping Brentsville to 10 clean sheets.

“As a coach my job is simple,” Barrickman said. “Point them in the right direction and let them take over.”

CARDINAL DISTRICT BOYS: Gar-Field is 10-2-2

The Wolves (8-2-2, 10-2-2 as of May 10) are dueling with neighborhood rival Freedom for the district’s regular-season title. The two teams split a pair of meetings this season, and Gar-Field holds a one-game edge in the loss column.

Adapting to the opponent and the game’s circumstances is a strength, said coach Eber Martínez, resulting in a team that’s strong in the second halves of games.

“Every game I have a specific mindset as to how the game needs to be played,” he said. “I do my best to lead throughout so we can make changes and adapt to different styles of play.”

The Wolves have gotten contributions from all over the field, including Jefferson Lopez, Christopher

Nolasco, Bryan Galvan, Xavi Ortiz, Andy Flores and others.

“There has been a leader in every position throughout the lines,” Martínez said.

During the season the coach has seen improvement in Gar-Field’s ability to turn opportunities into goals.

“In the beginning of the season we had a hard time finishing our chances,” he said. “That started to change towards the end of this regular season and I hope to see us be more composed in the final third.”

CARDINAL DISTRICT BOYS: Freedom is 8-3

The Eagles (8-3-0, 8-3-0 as of May 10) lost to Gar-Field and Hylton to fall behind the Red Wolves in the standings, but coach Benji Kimble sees plenty of reason for optimism in the upcoming postseason.

“My team is more talented this season and has a great deal of depth,” said Kimble, who saw about 90 players try out this year after mustering only 26 last year. “This season our best players were able to play for the team.”

Up front, Freedom has been paced by senior Angel Chavez’s 12 goals, flanked by Abdul Kamara (four goals, four assists) and Giovanni Garcilazo (four goals, five assists).

Junior midfielders Muhammad Dainkeh and Diego Gomez are strong on possession, while defenders Jeffery Manzanares, Javier Lopez-Escobar, and Freddy Hernandez-Velasquez “deserve all-district recognition,” Kimble said.

The coach is aware of the step-up in intensity that the playoffs bring.

“In elimination games where the pressure is really high, there’s a determination to give everything you have until the final whistle,” he said.

“It’s hard to simulate that in the regular season.”

this county, any team in the postseason can win.

There is just so much talent in the county. We have to be consistent, and play well every night.”

CEDAR RUN DISTRICT BOYS: Osbourn is 11-0-4

The Eagles (9-0-4, 11-0-4 as of May 10) went into their season-ending rivalry showdown May 12 with Osbourn Park with plenty of momentum.

Osbourn defeated their nearest district contender, Battlefield, 3-1 on Tuesday.

The goose egg in the loss column pleases coach Brandon Calandra.

“While we have a very skilled team, we’ve consistently played with high intensity throughout the season, which has helped us continue to get good results even when we haven’t played our best at times,” he said.

Osbourn’s offense has been propelled by junior Noel Sotelo, author of 17 goals and three assists. Daniel Ramírez owns eight goals and three assists, while fellow senior Brandon Loarte has six tallies and two helpers. Junior Cooper Noseworthy has given out five assists while scoring a couple goals.

Defensively, the Eagles count on senior Abdoul Kone and juniors Angel Rivas, Romeo Ventura, and Cristian Lopez.

“In the postseason, you’re only guaranteed another if you win, so we need to continue doing what we’ve done all season and put all of our energy and focus into the opponent we’re playing,” Calandra said.

CEDAR RUN DISTRICT BOYS: Battlefield is 11-2-2

The Bobcats (9-2-2, 11-2-2 as of May 10) are a dangerous team heading into the playoffs because of their preponderance of contributors.

“I believe that we are a balanced, deep team with multiple players who can change a game at any moment,” coach Wes Homan said.

Battlefield features a plethora of potent strikers, led by senior midfielder Danis Jacevic and

NORTHWESTERN DISTRICT BOYS: Manassas Park in the mix

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY BENJI KIMBLE

Freedom’s strong season has been fueled by an increase in turnout, with 90 players trying out for coach Benji Kimble’s program. junior forward Carter Cramp, each with 10 goals.

Junior defender Yazan Yaghmmour has stepped up with seven tallies, while junior midfielder Amari Benjamin has put in five and Manzi Siibo and Adam Sadiq have notched three apiece.

Benjamin and Sadiq pace the Bobcats with eight and seven assists, respectively, while Siibo, Jacevic, and Mateo Ammatuna have all dished out three helpers.

“Every game in the postseason is going to be very difficult,” Homan said. “I truly believe in ®

The Cougars (3-3, 6-6-2 as of May 10) are quietly among the hotter teams in the county.

Before a 2-0 setback May 10 to Meridian, Manassas Park racked up four wins and a tie in their previous five outings, including victories over Class 6 foes Potomac and Rock Ridge.

That’s remarkable considering coach Vinny Cipolla has had his starting 11 in just four games.

“We got healthy in the middle of the season to run off some decent results,” Cipolla said, noting the return of senior midfielder Martin Souza, junior midfielder Anthony Medrano, and sophomore centerback Charles Peterson.

Moving senior Carlos Argueta Castillo up to attack has resulted in five goals in five games. In limited action, Souza has scored three goals and handed out a pair of assists, while Medrano boasts a 94% passing accuracy, producing three assists.

Junior forward José Alvarez “has been a nice surprise” with two goals and two assists.

Defensively, the Cougars have surrendered just over one goal per game, led by seniors Osmar Funes Machado and Steve Sanchez, alongside sophomore Ruben Sanchez and freshman Javier Campos Argueta. Junior Gerson Navarro has stepped into the net to replace injured senior captain Yousef Aarbaoui, coming up with “some big moments.”

A healthy Manassas Park is a dangerous Manassas Park, Cipolla said.

“We need all of our key components back to make a deep run in the regional playoff should we qualify,” he said. “If we’re 100%, we are capable of defeating anyone, but we haven’t been able to stay healthy.”

OBITUARIES Fauquier Resident

Phoebe Patton Dies at Age 107

Centenarian Phoebe Jones Patton, age 107, passed away peacefully at her home in Midland, Virginia, Monday evening, May 2, 2022. She was born on September 22, 1914 in Casanova, Virginia to the late Watt Coak Jones and Mary Dunn Jones.

She was predeceased in death by brothers, Samuel Jones, John Coak Jones, Robert Lee Jones, infant sister Ada Jones and in 2009 by her beloved husband of 70 years, Allie Woodrow Patton.

Phoebe lost her mother when she was just 17 days old and it was decided that Grandmother Jones and two beloved aunts would care for her in Baltimore. Later, as a young girl, she returned to Casanova to be with her brothers and father.

She always said she never gave her father, Watt, any trouble except when she eloped with the handsome love of her life, Woodrow . He could be a charmer and Mr. Jones soon learned to admire and respect his new son-in-law. From the beginning, Phoebe supported her husband’s ambitions with quiet fortitude, patience and humility. They worked tirelessly at Elk Mount Farm, the family dairy business, raised six children and cared for numerous close relatives.

“Miss Phoebe”, as some fondly called her, was well known in Fauquier County for her kind, caring nature and love of animals.

One of her greatest joys was bottle feeding and nurturing young dairy calves. She was especially proud of their rare Holstein triplets, “Willie, Millie and Tillie” who were featured in the Fauquier Fall Farm Tour.

Her passion was also in the gardens at Elk Mount Farm and she often delighted visitors with her gifts of fresh vegetables and flowers to go. Woodrow shared her love of plants and flowers especially in their golden years. He landscaped a little paradise for them across the road and named it “The Rock”. They enjoyed peaceful days there away from the stress of farm life and often had family picnics under the open air pavilion. They also made time to travel together whether it was a simple trip to Lowes or bigger deals like a Caribbean Cruise with friends.

Phoebe was very popular and was known for her true Southern hospitality, great cooking and delicious corn pudding.

She had a way of making everyone feel like family.

In her later years as a widow, she enjoyed the company of their beautiful Bluetick Coonhound, Watt, and adopted her granddaughter’s sweet rescue dog, Sophie. When she and her caregivers weren’t spoiling the dogs, she was hosting Wednesday luncheons with friends or attending senior luncheons at church and Sunday services.

Her father taught her to play a fierce game of checkers at a young age and she continued to challenge competitors of all ages well into her centenarian years. She also liked modeling in the annual Fauquier “Silhouettes of Spring” Fashion Show for cancer survivors.

Phoebe had an uncanny ability to inspire others without really recognizing the gift she had. When asked the secret to her longevity, she would sometimes say “faith, family and friends”.

Even after the pandemic limited her opportunities to get out, she remained faithful to her church and often watched services from home.

In 2020, she was particularly pleased that Elk Mount was still a working farm after being in the Patton family for a century.

Holsteins that once grazed in the fields have been replaced, with a growing herd of Angus cattle.

Phoebe is survived by six children and spouses, Robert R. Patton and Kay C. Patton, Ann Patton Garmon and Stephen E. Garmon, Mary Allen Lomax and Clyde M. Lomax, William C Patton. and Jacqueline E. Patton, Sally Patton Baffa and John H. Baffa of Fauquier County and Eleanor Patton Goodwin and John L. Goodwin of Fairfax County; ten grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, one great-great grandson as well as nieces and nephews. The family would like to express our deep gratitude to the outstanding caregivers who contributed to her happiness and good health.

Phoebe’s viewing was on Monday, May 9, 2022 from 3-5 and 7-9 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, Va. Funeral services was held on Tuesday, May 10th, 2022 at 11am at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, 12714 Elk Run Rd., Midland, Va. followed by interment in the church cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Mt. Carmel Baptist Church or to Fauquier SPCA, 9350 Rogues Rd, Midland, Va. 22728

Wallace “Wally” Garrison Wright Wallace Garrison Wright (89) of Nokesville, Virginia died peacefully Tuesday, April 26, 2022.

Wally was born in the Bronx, NY on February 17, 1933, to the late Edward Spencer Wright and Anna McTeer Wright.

Wally attended New York City Public Schools where he learned trumpet at an early age while delivering morning papers and working after school for a small city grocer. Wally moved to Manassas, Virginia as a teen, where he became a national member in the Future Farmers of America Band plus helped his Osbourn High School band teacher set-up a band program for the then Brentsville High School in Nokesville and later graduated from Osbourn High School.

A loving husband, Dad, Uncle, and Papa, he was formerly recognized as an AOG church trumpet player, a local custom homes builder in Prince William and Fauquier Counties, a model railroader, a member of the Fredericksburg Homing Pigeon Club, a wood crafter, model hobbyist, and always an animal lover—hosting dogs, cats, hens, horses, cattle, mules and a large flock of pigeons that gracefully circled the Nokesville sky. Wally’s ambition and interests were enjoyed by many.

Proceeded in death were brothers, Clarence Wright (sister-in-law Florence) and Rev. Edward Wright, sister Ruth Drummond and special niece Ruth Ann Newcomer.

Survivors are his loving wife of 70 years, Pauline Newcomer Wright, daughters Paula Wright (Nokesville), Nancy House and husband, Wade House (Nokesville), granddaughters Lindsay House (Gainesville) and Sarah House (Nokesville), sister-in-laws Rev. Libby Wright (Hampton) Ann Erwin (Goldvein) Hilda Newcomer (Harrisonburg) Martha Newcomer (Scottsville) and many nieces and nephews.

The family extends their sincere gratitude to friends and family for their support of thoughts and prayers through Wally’s dementia journey, and a most special thanks to English Meadows Front Royal Lavender Hills (formerly Fox Trail Senior Living) for their excellent loving care.

Baker-Post arrangements, service, and burial are private. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial donations be made to your favorite charity.

Gary L. Allison Gary L, Allison “Red”, 45, of Marshall, VA passed away unexpectedly at his home on April 30, 2022. We believe he was immediately greeted at the pearly gates by our beloved Grandma of which he called “Ma”, where we are sure she asked if she could fix him something to eat.

Gary was genuine to a fault and had a fantastic sense of humor. His laugh was truly infectious. If he loved you, then you knew it. He would often go out of his way to do things for the people that he loved, and we knew that he always had our backs. If he didn’t like you, then you also knew it and he probably offered to have you “come up the mountain to square up”. We never encouraged anyone to take him up on that offer. He unapologetically lived his life and that is one of the things we loved most about him.

Graduating from the school of hard knocks did not hold Gary back. He was a highly skilled carpenter and jack of all trades his entire life. He took pride in his work and there was not much he couldn’t do. Very few worked as hard as he did.

Gary loved hunting, fishing, all of his animals (we are willing to sell the snakes) and the Washington Redskins (we don’t know why). He also loved his sons Gary Lee and Craig so very much, even when they all would take turns trying to find out who had the hardest head. He was proud of the “stand-up” men that they are turning out to be.

Gary is survived by his two sons Gary Lee Lawrence and Craig Allison. His mother Thelma Allison and father Ronnie Dawson.

His brother Eric Dawson and sisters Linsey Herrick and Elizabeth Hey, and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at Moser Funeral Home on Saturday, May 14, 2022, from 4-6pm. The family will also be hosting A Celebration of Life Service that will take place at the Marshall Ruritan Club on Friday, June 3, 2022 at 5pm.

Larry Clinton Curtis Larry Clinton Curtis, age 74, of Culpeper, VA (born and raised in Warrenton, VA) passed peacefully on Sunday, May 1st, 2022, at INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, VA. Larry was born on November 4th, 1947, son of the late, Hunter & Elinor Curtis.

Larry, who worked in construction most of his life, will be fondly remembered by family and friends for his ability to fix almost anything, his many projects he always had going around the home, his passion for yard work and landscaping, his love for “antiquing”, and most of all his great sense of humor.

Larry is survived by his wife of 47 years, Patricia Ann Curtis; three daughters, Kimberly Curtis of Warrenton, VA, Tammie Curtis & her husband, Scott Cording of Montpelier, VA, & Amanda Curtis of Gainesville, VA; sister, Barbara Cooke of Warrenton, VA; and two grandchildren, Zachary & Luke Hunter Stalls of Warrenton, VA.
