Supervisors OK move to find more land for data centers By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County supervisors voted along party lines early Wednesday to take steps to amend the county’s data center overlay district, paving the way for a potential expansion that could allow data centers to locate within some areas of the county more easily. The board voted 5-3 after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, May 19, to spend $120,000 to hire a contractor to begin work on amending the overlay district, an area where data centers are allowed by right. The board’s five Democratic supervisors voted in favor, while the three Republican supervisors were opposed. See DATA CENTERS, page 4
‘I’m still going to be wearing a mask for a while’ Although not required, face masks remain common in Prince William By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Despite Gov. Ralph Northam’s move last weekend to lift Virginia’s statewide mask mandate, many Prince William County residents seemed unwilling this week to give up their face coverings – at least for now. At the Potomac Mills mall, at Prince William County recreation centers and early voting sites, inside some local grocery stores and even at area gas pumps, many local residents were still wearing masks. In some places, masks remained explicitly required, such as Prince William County buildings and at the mall. But even places where masks are now optional, such as Starbucks and Giant grocery stores, employees said most customers and employees are
choosing to keep their faces covered. Compared to its neighboring shops at Potomac Mills, Starbucks was an outlier this week. While most continued to display “face masks required for entry” signs, Starbucks posted new signs stating: “Face coverings are optional if you’re fully vaccinated.” The national coffee-shop chain announced over the weekend that it would switch its in-store rules to match the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance announced last Thursday, May 13, which said vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks in most settings. Still, the store was hardly back to normal. The baristas behind the counter were still donning masks, and the stores chairs and tables remained off-limits. “I’m going to be wearing a mask for a while,” said Monet, a Starbucks employee who declined to give her last name.

Despite sharp decline in cases, county reports 7 more deaths Staff Reports Prince William County’s rate of COVID-19 infections per capita and its percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 fell over the past week to levels not seen since the early days of the pandemic. Still, the county reported seven more deaths due to COVID-19 tests in the past week, including those of one resident in their 40s and three in their 50s, according to the Virginia Department of Health. The most recent fatalities included six men and one woman. Three were in their 60s and one was in their 70s. All were residents of Prince William County, which has now lost 496 residents to the pandemic. Across the Prince William Health District, which includes the county, Manassas and Manassas Park, the overall death toll was 554 as of Wednesday, May 19. Despite the ongoing losses, COVID-19 metrics continue to improve both in the county and across the state. In Virginia, average daily cases have dropped 28% over the last week to seven per 100,000, while the percent-positivity rate dipped to 3.2%, well below the targeted rate of 5%. The Prince William Health District is averaging about 14 cases per day, down about two-thirds from last Saturday, May 8, according to VDH data. The county’s rate of infection per capita is now 3 per 100,000 residents – falling into the “lower case load” category for the first time in several months. MeanMASKS, from page 1 “I don’t know why they lifted the mandate out of nowhere. It seems strange to me,” she added. “People are still getting sick.” At other spots in the mall, both workers and employees shared similar sentiments. At Marshall’s Home Goods, employee Estela Lopez-Arias said she had yet to even hear about Northam’s decision to lift the mask rule. As of Monday afternoon, Marshalls was still assigning workers to man a cart posted near the mall’s front entrance that was fully stocked with hand-sanitizer, shopping cart wipes and disposable face masks. Lopez-Arias was posted there with a calculator, which she used to keep track of people entering the store. If the number got too high, she said, she would have to ask people to wait outside. On that particular day, however, the store was mostly empty. The few shoppers who were there were all wearing face coverings. “Only a really, really small amount of people don’t wear a mask,” Lopez-Arias said. At “Aim Point,” an indoor shooting range for toy air-soft guns, employee Fatih Tolga sat behind the cash register with his mask hanging down around his chin. When a customer walked in, however, he quickly pulled it up. “I care about being healthy,” he said in explanation. “I got the vaccine, but I know the importance of wearing a mask.” Still, Tolga said he’s looking forward to shedding his mask eventually, whenever that might be. “The vaccines, this is our chance to get back to normal,” he said. “That
while, the local percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests is 3%, which is also below the 5% target understood to be an indication that there is enough testing being done to identify most cases of the disease. At the peak of the pandemic in mid-January, the local health district was reporting an average of 499 cases a day. There were six to four local hospitalizations for COVID-19 last week, including those of one resident in their 30s, one in their 40s and two in their 50s. Across the state, 615 people were hospitalized for COVID-19 as of May 19, down about 26% from last week. Of those, 188 were in intensive care units and 98 were on ventilators, also down over the past week.
Virginia compared to the U.S.
While both Virginia and the United States are seeing improvements, Virginia’s COVID-19 case rate is lower than that of the entire country. The average daily case rate in the commonwealth has dropped to 7, whereas the average daily case rate in the U.S. is 11 per 100,000 people, based on current data, according to the most recent weekly report from the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute, which has been tracking the pandemic in the commonwealth. Virginia is also outpacing the U.S. in vaccinating older residents who have been particularly vulnerable to severe cases and deaths due to COVID-19.
is what I wish.” Potomac Mills is one of several malls owned by the Simon Properties. On its website, Simon says “customers will be encouraged to wear facial coverings as recommended by the CDC.” Now that the CDC has changed its guidance, however, there was no sign in the mall that the rules had changed. Only in the food court, where people were actively eating and drinking, were people not wearing masks. On Monday, friends Chris Gonzalez, 20, Ben Yasine, 19, and Thomas Brown, 20, all Virginia Commonwealth University students from Fairfax County, pulled their masks below their chins while eating a snack at a table in the food court. All three said they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 but still wear masks in public, unless eating, both for their own safety and to show courtesy to others. Gonzales said he isn’t convinced it’s safe for everyone to shed their masks. “I just feel like it would be safer to wait a month or two after everyone is vaccinated so we know the consequences or the benefits of the having everyone vaccinated,” he said. Yasine said he wondered if wearing masks would become the new normal, especially for people who have a cold or want to avoid getting sick. All three said they also wear masks to avoid confrontation. “I’ve seen a lot of people be very confrontational about mask-wearing,” Yasine said. “I don’t want to start an issue that doesn’t need to be started.” Prince William County officials say they are still evaluating the mask-wearing protocols in county buildings and facilities such as the

county’s recreation centers. During the board of supervisors’ May 18 meeting, County Executive Chris Martino said his office was evaluating the governor’s revised executive order to ensure the county adheres to rules about maintaining masks in congregate settings, such as the jail and the county’s homeless facilities. The governor’s order also continues to require masks in health care settings and in public schools, since COVID-19 vaccines have only recently been approved for those between the ages of 12 and 15 and have not yet been approved for those younger than 12. “There are a lot of details to work out and a lot of exceptions that we want to make sure we get right,” Martino said. At Giant grocery store on Dale Boulevard in Dale City, employees had just received word this week that masks would no longer be re-
quired for customers and employees who are vaccinated. As of Monday, however, the store looked the same as the mall: nearly all customers and employees wore masks. “We are not allowed to ask customers if they are vaccinated or not, because if do we’ll get into a lot of trouble,” said store manager Louie Tawil. About 80% of the store’s customers are still coming in masked, Tawil estimated, although he said the number of unmasked faces seems to have gone down a bit since Saturday, when Virginia’s mask rule was lifted. Tawil said he has been vaccinated against COVID-19 as have most if not all of the store’s employees. Still, most are holding onto their masks, he said. “I think they’re just a little afraid,” he said. “I think it’s a still a little too early, in my opinion.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com Classified Sales Consultant Jeanne Cobert, 540-878-2491 jcobert@fauquier.com

Invasive spotted lanternflies land in Prince William By Cher Muzyk
Contributing Writer
The spotted lanternfly, an invasive insect, has arrived in Prince William County. While the adult spotted lanternfly looks harmless with its pretty polka-dotted front wings, striking scarlet hind wings and plump yellow and black body, this insect means trouble for home gardens, agriculture and forests. The winged insect causes damage to trees and plants because it feeds using a piercing-sucking mouthpart, which allows it to extract sap while at the same time excreting a sugary substance. The substance is known as “honeydew” and can build up on trees and plants, which then grows a sooty mold or fungi. According to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the spotted lanternfly “has the potential to be a serious nuisance pest to homeowners when it is present in high numbers.” “[T]he mold, as well as swarms of insects, can become a nuisance to homeowners as they will cover outdoor furniture, decks and equipment in addition to causing tree decline and potential tree mortality,” said Nathaniel Nagle, environmental program manager for Prince William County Department of Public Works. “Early detection in new areas is key to understanding how the spotted lanternfly is spreading,” Nagle added.
COURTESY PHOTOS Clockwise from top left: Adult spotted lantern fly showing hind wings; adult insect with folded wings; early black and white nymphs; full grown nymphs showing red; and egg masses. The spotted lanternfly was discovered by county public works staff earlier this spring while they were doing routine forest pest surveillance in the vicinity of the Manassas Regional Airport and Broad Run Virginia Railway Express station, Nagle said. “All current information indicates the initial introduction [of the spotted lanternfly] is an isolated event and its current range in Prince William County is confined to this area,” he said. In a recent press release, VDACS indicated that the detection included egg masses and nymphs at one site. The discovery of the spotted lanternfly in Prince William County means the board of supervisors must amend the county’s mosquito and
forest pest management levy to add it to VDACS’ list of approved pests. Doing so will give the county’s public works staff full authority to survey for the spotted lanternfly and provide outreach, although no increase in the levy is needed at this time, Nagle said. The BOCS is set to authorize a public hearing on the matter at their Tuesday, May 18 meeting. According to the USDA, the spotted lanternfly “is an invasive plant hopper that is native to China and likely arrived in North America hidden on goods imported from Asia.” It was first detected in the U.S. in 2014, in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Since then, the USDA has confirmed spotted lanternfly infestations in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Virginia’s first discovery of the spotted lanternfly was in Frederick County in January 2018. It has since been detected in Winchester as well as Clarke and Warren counties. These areas are included in the state spotted lanternfly quarantine, which is meant to help prevent the spread of the insect to un-infested areas of the commonwealth. As of now, Prince William County has not been included in the spotted lanternfly quarantine area. The adult spotted lanternfly is about 1 inch long and about half an inch wide. Adult female spotted lanternflies deposit grayish-brown egg
masses containing 30-50 eggs on trees and other smooth surfaces. The USDA calls the spotted lanternfly a “hitchhiking pest” because it can lay eggs on almost any surface including vehicles, trailers, and other equipment, which then can spread the pest long distances. After hatching, the nymphs are black with white spots and then later develop red patches, and finally develop into the colorful adult winged insect. The pest is most commonly found feeding on the invasive tree of heaven which it prefers. However, the VDACS said it will “also feed on more than 70 plants, including grapes, peaches, apples, maples, walnuts, hops, cucumbers and basil.” VDACS will continue to survey Prince William County to determine the extent of the spotted lanternfly population and encourages all residents, nurseries and related businesses to be on the lookout for the pest. If you find one, VDACS asks that you report your discovery by email at Spottedlanternfly@vdacs.virginia.gov or contact the PWC Virginia Cooperative Extension office at 703-792-4371. Residents may also contact staff at the PWC Mosquito and Forest Pest Management Branch at 703792-6279 or gypsymothmosquito@ pwcgov.org with questions or to report spotted lanternfly sightings.

Plan to preserve historic cemeteries takes shape By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
In response to threats to primitive African-American and Native American cemeteries in the Thoroughfare area, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors took tentative action Tuesday, May 18, to fund several efforts aimed at better protecting historic cemeteries and communities throughout the county. In a non-binding straw poll, the board voted unanimously Tuesday, May 18, to signal its intent to spend about $740,000 annually, including this year, to hire additional staff to oversee a “cemetery preservation program” and to launch a “historic communities program.” The cemetery preservation program would be aimed at ensuring that people with historic cemeteries on their properties know the cemeteries exist – which is not always the case, as was demonstrated by the recent clearing of the “Scott family cemetery” in Thoroughfare, a historic African and Native American community near Haymarket. A 1-acre lot containing the family cemetery was purchased in 2020 by the Farm Brewery at Broad Run, which cleared the land to plant sunflowers and corn earlier this spring. The brewery did not apply for the necessary permit to clear the land
and has since been cited with a zoning violation. Now, the brewery is working with county officials to identify and delineate the gravesites and cordone them off to protect them from future development, county Public Works director Tom Smith told the supervisors May 18. The brewery’s owners have said they never knew the cemetery was on the land. The cemetery, which is estimated to contain 75 to 100 graves, is included on a 2001 survey of the county’s historic cemeteries but was never added to the property’s deed or county land records, Smith said. As proposed, a new “cemetery preservation program” would address the problem by ensuring that the county’s more than 430 historic cemeteries are noted on property tax records and in the county’s inter-governmental computer system, Smith said. The program, if adopted, would reach out to owners of properties that contain the cemeteries to help them identify and preserve them, something that is currently voluntary under Virginia law unless the land is developed. Smith said the county could help landowners apply for grant money to help pay for such preservation efforts.

The current data center overlay district was created in 2016 and allows data centers to move into the certain areas of the county without a special use permit, provided they are located near electrical transmission lines. Any expansion of the data center overlay district would also aim to locate data centers in areas that have the infrastructure to support them, “including in locations with high voltage power lines,” according to county staff. The contractor and county staff are expected to return with a proposal to expand the data center overlay district in six to nine months. The potential expansion of the district comes amid uncertainty about how much vacant land viable for data centers remains within the existing overlay district. County officials have said space within the overlay district is quickly running out. Meanwhile, demand for land for data centers in the area has skyrocketed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with vacant land sales for data centers reaching nearly $1 million per acre in recent months. In April, Amazon Web Services purchased 58 acres of land in Gainesville for data center uses for $52.4 million, according to a Washington Business Journal report. The potential expansion of the district has been the subject of fierce debate in the county, especially between residents who want to preserve the county’s rural crescent, a 75,000-acre stretch of land in the western side of the county that remains largely undeveloped, and some rural crescent residents who would like to sell their land to data center developers but cannot because of the current zoning. More than a dozen landowners are pushing for data centers to be allowed along Pageland Lane, which is adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park and within the rural crescent, near the border of Prince William and Loudoun counties. Those landowners revealed in February a proposal for an 800-acre data center campus along the corridor, which is bordered by an electrical transmission line. Many of those residents came out in support of hiring a contractor to redraw the data overlay district during the board’s May 18 meeting. Pointing to increasing road traffic and the construction of electric transmission lines along the corridor, many said the area is no longer as rural as it once was. Some also noted that the previous board of supervisors approved a 3 million square foot data center known as “Gainesville Crossing” on Pageland Lane in 2019. That develop-
ment, which has yet to be constructed, is just outside the rural crescent and directly across the street from Manassas National Battlefield Park. Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, whose district includes Pageland Lane and who lives nearby, said he is adamantly opposed to any expansion of data centers along the corridor. “I reject this idea that Pageland Lane is some kind of junk corridor that’s not good for anything but building data centers,” Candland said. Democratic supervisors have supported expanding the data center overlay district, with some supervisors stating that increasing the number of data centers in the county could bring in more tax revenue to either lower the real estate tax rate or add funding for county schools. In 2020, the county collected $64 million in tax revenue from data centers, according to county documents. Chair Ann Wheeler, D-at-large, said the action taken by the board allows the study of the existing data center overlay district. She reiterated the board was not yet taking action to expand the district. “This isn’t a vote to accept a huge data center overlay district along every power corridor in the county,” Wheeler said. The expansion of the data center overlay district is opposed by local conservation and environmental groups including the Prince William Conservation Alliance, the Coalition to Protect Prince William County and the local chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society. National Park Service officials from the battlefield and Prince William Forest Park asked the board to move forward with caution as they consider adding new data centers. Brandon Bies, superintendent of Manassas National Battlefield Park, urged the board to “avoid causing irreversible or permanent damage to the national parks.” The data center overlay expansion received support during the May 18 meeting from the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local 26 union and the Baltimore-DC Metro Building and Construction Trades Council. “We’re running out of space,” said Ross Snare, chief operations officer for the Prince William Chamber of Commerce. “We need to find a way to improve that and improve the commercial tax base.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Manassas opens its first new fire station in 50 years Staff Reports City of Manassas officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday, May 14, for the first new fire station to open within the city limits in 51 years. Station 21, at 10306 Dumfries Road, opened for business on Monday, May 17. The City of Manassas initiated the $15.4 million project in 2016 to improve fire and rescue response times, and construction began in 2019, according to a City of Manassas news release. “A fire and rescue station means more to a community than fighting fires and saving lives – it means safety,” Manassas Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Feeling safe in our community is what we all hope for, and with the opening of Station 21, I know I feel safer in the knowledge that should I need them, these ladies and gentlemen will be
MARINE, from page 1 Major Christopher Warnagiris, 40, of Woodbridge, has been charged with federal offenses that include assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers; obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder; and obstruction of justice, among other offenses, the U.S. DOJ said in a news release. Warnagiris was released on personal recognizance bond on Friday, May 14, after a hearing in the U.S. Eastern District Court. Warnagiris is an artillery officer who deployed four times to Iraq between 2004 and 2012. He was promoted to his current rank of major in 2013 and first entered the Marine Corps in 2002. He is a threetime winner of the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, among other awards, according to his military service record. Warnagiris has served as a staff member of the Marine-Air Ground Task Force Training Program at the Marine Corps Base Quantico, where he has been stationed since June 2018. Previously, he was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina from 2011 until 2017. According to court documents and security camera footage, Warnagiris allegedly entered the Capitol building Jan. 6 after pushing through a line of police officers guarding the East Rotunda doors, the U.S. DOJ
on their way quickly and with the equipment they need to render that aid.” City of Manassas Fire and Rescue Chief William Garrett said the new station will improve emergency response times across Manassas. “For many years, as the city has grown, there has been a need for better coverage and response times for parts of our city, especially the southeastern side,” Garrett said in a news release. The new station includes a four-story tower used for physical and special operations training, and a vehicle extrication pad that enables fire and rescue personnel to practice rescue operations onsite, the release said. In a nod to a feature often seen in historical fire houses, the station includes two fire poles, which will be used to reduce response time and the po-
news release said. Once inside, Warnagiris “positioned himself in the corner of the doorway, using his body to keep the door open and pull others inside,” the release said. “When a U.S. Capitol Police officer tried to pull the doors shut, Warnagiris refused and continued pushing it open,” the release said. Warnagiris can be seen allegedly pushing the officer in an effort to maintain his position in the open door in security camera footage and publicly available video footage captured shortly after 2:25 p.m. on Jan. 6, according to the release. According to federal charging documents, on March 16, a member of the public recognized Warnagiris from photos posted on the internet by the FBI and reported to the FBI that they believed Warnagiris was an active-duty Marine officer. That person, known as “Witness 1,” worked with Warnagiris for approximately six months in 2019 “and would see him in close proximity approximately once a week while they worked together,” the charging documents state. On March 17, two FBI agents went to Warnagiris’ military command and interviewed one of his co-workers who identified Warnagiris in photos taken during the U.S. Capitol riot. “There is no place for racial hatred

The new station will be home to the City of Manassas’ Battalion Chief 581, Medic 521, Rescue Engine 521, and Ambulance 521B, the release said. The career department will staff three shifts for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Greater Manassas Volunteer Rescue Squad will provide additional staffing in the evening and on weekends. The new station is the first fire and rescue facility to open in the City of Manassas since GMVRS opened its station on Center Street in 1970, and the Manassas Volunteer Fire Company opened Station 1 on Centreville Road in 1956. Both of those facilities will continue to serve the community.
or extremism in the Marine Corps. Our strength is derived from the individual excellence of every Marine regardless of background. Bigotry and racial extremism run contrary to our core values,” the Marine Corps said in a statement released after Warnagiris’ arrest. “Participation with hate or extremist groups of any kind is directly contradictory to the core values of honor, courage, and commitment that we stand for as Marines and isn’t tolerated by the Marine Corps ... Those who can’t value the contributions of others, regardless of background, are destructive to our culture, our warfighting ability, and have no place in our ranks,” the statement said. The case is being prosecuted by CEMETERIES, from page 3 “The intent here is to have a dedicated staff person to go through the list of those 433 cemeteries and contact the property owners and tell them we’re here to help,” Smith said. The proposed historic communities program, if funded, would allow the county to fully survey the Thoroughfare area for other historic gravesites; better document its history through oral interviews and develop an interpretive site or facility where that history might be shared.

GUEST OPINION
Prince William County’s most historic and natural treasures must be protected from development By Kim Hosen, Max Hokit, Dan Holmes, Pam Goddard and Nancy Vehrs Four hundred twenty-three units of the National Park System grace our nation, from vast wildernesses like the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska to historic spots like Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Only a fraction of counties in the nation are fortunate enough to have a site of national significance in their backyard — and Prince William County is one of them! It has not only one, but two notable NPS units within its boundaries: Prince William Forest Park and Manassas National Battlefield Park. Unfortunately, these parks — historic, open spaces that welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors each year — are situated in a rapidly developing region and, therefore, face a very real danger. The latest development craze appears to be massive data centers. Recently, despite public opposition, the land-use of an area just inside the congressionally authorized boundary of Prince William Forest Park was changed to allow for the possible construction of a future data center. Now, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors is poised to consider a data center proposal between Manassas National Battlefield Park and Conway Robinson State Forest on a pristine rural landscape that witnessed some of the heaviest fighting during the 1862 Battle of Second Manassas. Both of Prince William County’s NPS sites speak to trying times in
our nation’s past. The battlefield land represents not only a period of heart-wrenching combat, but also a decisive moment during the Civil War. The battle there in late July 1862 ultimately led to the Maryland Campaign, which culminated at the Battle of Antietam, still the bloodiest day in American history. Manassas National Battlefield Park, remembering both this battle and the first major land battle of the war, the Battle of First Manassas or Bull Run, was established in 1940. Meanwhile, Prince William Forest Park grew out of the Great Depression. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration established back-to-work programs designed to create new infrastructure projects — among them Recreation Demonstration Areas (RDA), to provide outdoor experiences for urban children. In Prince William County, 15,000 acres of pristine farmland were identified and became the Chopawamsic RDA, which opened to some 2,000 young campers from Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1936. During World War II, the park land was leased to the War Department as a training base for American covert operations. After the war, the site returned to its youth-oriented, recreational roots and picked up its permanent name in 1948. Today, when social distancing requirements have made accessible outdoor experiences especially important, we should applaud the foresight of that earlier generation in preserving natural and historic landscapes that we may now enjoy.
But what are we leaving for our own grandchildren to one day enjoy and explore? So many once-pristine areas of Northern Virginia have been lost to development that we must now strategically examine the new proposals that come before us for consideration. For decades, the county’s “rural crescent” has protected much of the remaining, fragile open space in Prince William County, including the Occoquan Reservoir watershed, with a corridor of restricted development stretching the length of the county and connecting the two national parks. Prince William County already allows for high density development, like the data centers recently proposed, in various areas as by-right uses under current zoning. So, why the urgency to further develop some of the last pieces of unaltered open space in the county? The very act of designating land as eligible for further development increases its value, and so developers would rather seek an agreement to develop open space land and then seek a rezoning from the county. The prospect of undermining the county’s comprehensive plan with piecemeal and unnecessary rezoning, especially when more appropriate and less historically
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Letters to the Editor
Jennifer Carroll Foy will lead Virginia to a brighter future As a lifelong Virginian, I believe that Virginia is truly a leader in our country. However, I have also seen how politicians have failed their constituents when they prioritize special interest groups and lose focus on the struggles of Virginians. This is why I support Jennifer Carroll Foy, who will advocate for Virginians and move us toward a brighter future as governor. Carroll Foy understands our concerns because she’s lived them herself. Her experiences growing up in Petersburg, and as a graduate of VMI, public defender and mother, help her to know what Virginians need. As a delegate, she proved her ability to lead by advancing the ERA and supporting pro-labor legislation. As governor, she will raise teacher pay, expand broadband access and support small businesses. Carroll Foy will lift all Virginians and sup-
sensitive properties are available, is problematic on many levels. Once these lands are developed, they are lost forever. That is why the Prince Williams Conservation Alliance was joined by a broad coalition of groups that include the American Battlefield Trust, the Piedmont Environmental Council, the National Parks Conservation Association and the Virginia Native Plant Society in the preparation of this piece expressing concerns about these data centers. In order to respect the land that holds our American story and keeps us connected to the great outdoors, the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors should not move forward with changes that would allow intense and incompatible development adjacent to its two national parks. The authors are members of the following organizations and are writing on their behalf: Kim Hosen, the Prince William Conservation Alliance; Max Hokit, the American Battlefield Trust; Dan Holmes, the Piedmont Environmental Council; Pam Goddard, the National Parks Conservation Association; and Nancy Vehrs, Virginia Native Plant Society.
port communities that are often underrepresented. Unlike other candidates, she does not accept donations from special interest groups. With a plan to ban political contributions from corporations, her administration will serve the needs of everyday Virginians. It’s time to leave behind the politics of the past: supporting policies that fail to improve the lives of Virginians or only voting against the opposing party. Instead, it’s time to embrace a new ideal and nominate a candidate who is passionate about advocating for her constituents and has proved her ability to lead and implement change. We need a capable, empathetic leader who isn’t afraid to chart a new path and fight for the security and happiness of every Virginian. KATHERINE JOHNSTON Marshall

Libraries add live online tutoring, job search help By Elizabeth Hensley Contributing Writer
Thanks to the Library of Virginia, Prince William Public Libraries will be adding three new online resources that can help support students, job seekers and veterans looking to transition back to civilian life. “HelpNow” is a live online tutoring platform that allows Kindergarten through 12th grade students to connect with a vetted, live tutor to help with math, reading, writing, English, social studies, science and more depending on the grade level.
There is also help for taking the ACT, completing the FAFSA (the federal college-aid form), and even some college-level courses. The “writing lab” gives students the opportunity to submit papers at least a day ahead of the due date and get feedback and editing suggestions. Students or teachers can download pre-filled flash cards or create their own. Data from the flash cards can be used to generate a variety of activity sheets. If study groups are looking for an online place to gather, they can try out the free “MEET” space
to meet online and share an interactive whiteboard for collaboration. JobNow is an online resource where job seekers can find resume templates, get live feedback from the “resume lab,” search interview tips, take career assessments and investigate “eParachute” – the online version of “What Color Is Your Parachute?” for people trying to figure out a new career or a change in career. VetNow offers many of the same services as JobNow to help veterans make the transition to civilian life. All of the VetNow navigators are
also veterans. They can help veterans with navigating their benefits and services. These resources will be fully available in July. In the meantime, visit PWPL’s digital library and use the trial log-in to test out some of the features. If any features are not available in the trial, they will be available once the full products are launched in July. Be sure to check out all PWPL’s online resources and Digital Library at pwcva.gov/library. Elizabeth Hensley is head of the Prince William Public Library System’s material services division.
What’s Hot at the library: May 2021 By Elizabeth Hensley Contributing Writer
Prince William County’s public libraries have some fiction and nonfiction titles by a variety of celebrities to pique your interest this month. Check them out. Voting rights advocate and activist, Stacey Abrams, releases her first political thriller, “While Justice Sleeps,” about Avery Keene, law clerk to the brilliant Supreme Court Justice Howard Wynn. When Wynn ends up in a coma, Avery learns he has named her his legal guardian and power of attorney. Not everyone is pleased, and Avery finds herself tangled in a political conspiracy involving a U.S. biotech firm and an Indian genetics while trying to stay alive. Fans of the TV show “Scandal” may appreciate this one. In “You Should Have Known,” the basis of the new HBO show “The Undoing,” author Jean Hanff Korelitz tells the story of Jake Finch Bonner, a washed-up novelist now teaching in a minor MFA program. One of his students, Evan Parker, boasts that he’s developed an unbeatable plot, and Jake has to agree. When Evan dies unexpectedly, Jake steals his story to pass of as his own. However, in the middle of his book tour, someone accuses him of the theft, and Jake finds himself caught up in his own twisty plot involving the underworld of publishing, copyright and the integrity of writers. Jennifer Weiner’s latest novel, “That Summer,” grapples with #MeToo themes. Diana Shoemaker has been known as Daisy ever since she married her husband, Hal. When she begins receiving emails intended for another “Diana S.” with a similar email address, the two women strike up a correspondence, leaving Daisy to wonder what other turns her life could have taken. Rather than coincidence, however, the reader learns the other Diana intentionally tracked down Daisy to confront her about a sexual assault when she was 15 by a group of boys on Cape Cod. Weiner’s description of the setting is evocative, and her
fans will be rewarded with another emotionally gripping tale. In “Notes on Grief,” award-winning Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie writes of her beloved father’s unexpected death by kidney failure in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to making a heartfelt tribute to her father and the accomplishments of his life, Adichie’s writing reflects the sadness, anger and dismay that so many have felt when losing a family member during this surreal period. Many of us remember heartthrob Andrew McCarthy from the “Brat Pack” movies of the ’80s, like “Pretty in Pink” and “St. Elmo’s Fire.” You may have caught his limited cameo as an assassin on NBC’s “Good Girls.” While mentioning a few Hollywood nuggets in this new memoir, “Brat: An ’80s Story,” McCarthy writes mostly of his own insecurities and dysfunctions, including his struggle with alcoholism and feeling like he didn’t fit in despite his success. Genre-defying Billie Eilish is one the best-selling artists of our time. Her album, “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” was written, produced and recorded entirely by her and her brother Finneas in their childhood home in Los Angeles. Upon release, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S as well as 17 additional countries around the world and was the most streamed album of the year. Billie shares a glimpse into her life and hundreds
of never-before-seen photos in her self-titled autobiography. “The Shape of Thunder,” by Jasmine Warga, tells the story of Cora Hamed and Quinn McCauley, two 12-year-old girls, who have been friends since the age of 2. That friendship is shattered when Quinn’s older brother, having become immersed in white supremacy and misogyny, carries out a school shooting that results in his own death and that of Cora’s older sister. Riddled with guilt, Quinn devises a plan to travel back in time and stop her brother. She enlists Cora’s support, and the girls begin to rebuild their bond. Short chapters jump back and forth between the girls and explore the themes of loss, gun violence and friendship. This perceptive, sensitively-told story is appropriate for middle-grade readers. Geisel Medalists and collaborators David LaRochelle and Mike Wohnoutka (“See the Cat”) have created an enjoyable and practical primer on saying you’re sorry in their new picture book, “How to Apologize.” They begin by saying, “Everyone makes mistakes, and when you’ve made a mistake... the right thing to do is apologize.” Their sample scenarios include colorful animals in silly situations, like a penguin who inadvertently crashes his parachute into an alligator’s bathroom. The examples of how not to apologize make for great reading aloud. While this title is geared toward little ones through elementary school, all ages could benefit from the message. Looking for new DVDs? The 2020 biopic, “Tesla,” starring Ethan Hawke tells the story of visionary inventor Nikola Tesla. DreamWorks Animation finally released “The Croods: A New Age” in late 2020.

THROWING THEIR CAPS IN THE RING Colgan and others excelling in baseball this spring By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times
High school baseball is roaring back in Prince William County. It’s a shortened season this time around, as pandemic precautions delayed Opening Day until late April. Teams are scheduled to play few, if any, non-district contests, and the regular season will be wrapped up by June 7, with regional tournaments to commence June 14.
The Virginia High School League’s state champions will be decided on the unusually late date of June 26. But with nearly half the regular season already played, the usual suspects are taking charge in the Cardinal and Cedar Run districts, with one notable exception: Colgan. Colgan’s program began in 2017 and went a combined 23-23 in 2018 and 2019. Now the Sharks are making a tremendous leap under coach Mike Colangelo, a former Major Leaguer.
CARDINAL DISTRICT C.D. HYLTON
-Record: 4-2 as of May 17 -Head coach: Jason Ritenour -Team Twitter: @HyltonBasebll Notable: Most of Hylton’s starting lineup were starters in their sophomore season of 2019. -How’s it going?: Senior-laden and talented, the 2021 campaign looks promising for the Bulldogs. Seventhyear head coach Jason Ritenour, who guided Woodbridge’s program the previous nine years, will rely on experienced senior hurlers Diego Barrett and Tyler Mitchell to chew up the bulk of the innings. The lineup is solid throughout, with “all of our players...capable of producing runs,” Ritenour said. Leadoff man Byron Coleman puts speed on the basepaths, while Barrett,
Hand hosts youth-high school football combine Sunday at Potomac High Former Woodbridge High graduate and current Detroit Lions defensive tackle Da'Shawn Hand is hosting a pro style skills evaluation combine for all age groups on Sunday, May 23 at Potomac High. There is a youth combine (7th grade-under) from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and high school combine from 1:30 to 5 p.m. There’s also a kids’ skills and drills program for kids (1st-4th graders). It will feature Zybek testing, the Colgan is 7-0 and outscored opponents 61-4, including three victories by at least 12 runs.

Byron Coleman is Hylton’s dangerous leadoff hitter. Mitchell, Matt Gum, Jaylen Wright, and Anthony Hernandez are bats with previous varsity experience. The last time Hylton earned a berth in the regional tournament was 2016, a short drought Ritenour hopes to end this year. “Our expectations are to advance to regional play,” he said.

Also involved is Mike Weinstein, who has done the timing at the last 10 NFL combines. Register at GoPACT.org. Here’s a look at a few of the other hardball contenders around Prince William County:
CEDAR RUN DISTRICT PATRIOT
POTOMAC
-Record: 5-1 as of May 17 -Head coach: Mike Covington -Team Twitter: @PanthersPotomac -Notable: Covington has 465 career victories in his 29 years as Potomac’s head coach. -How’s it going?: Another year, another bunch of wins for the Panthers and their stalwart head coach. Mike Covington has been a model of consistency in his nearly three decades leading Potomac, averaging more than 16.6 wins per season (discounting the cancelled 2020 campaign) over his long tenure. But the players play the game, and Covington’s roster is again a solid mix of good arms and decent bats. “Our overall team speed is better than average,” the coach said. “Our hitting has not been as good as expected but we are showing signs of improvement as we have had a few injuries to some key players.” Shawn Baxter is an offensive threat with a pair of homers and 10 RBIs in the early going, while Kalei Grebin knocked in nine on the strength of three extra-base hits.
SPORTS
-Record: 3-1 as of May 17 -Head coach: Nick Grove -Team Twitter: @PatriotHitSquad -Notable: With an inexperienced but talented roster, Grove calls 2021 a rebuilding year. -How’s it going?: Although hired prior to the 2020 season, coach Nick Grove makes his Patriot debut after leading Gar-Field for two seasons. Prior to that, Grove served as head coach at high schools in Las Vegas and Hughesville, Pa. He already has a strong handle on his 2021 Pioneers. “We have a chance to be an excellent team, but we have a lot of player development to do,” he assessed. “I think that our character and grit really stand out.” Patriot’s pitching staff is led by Longwood commit Kevin Warunek, a senior left-hander. Sophomore righty Jakob Foster didn’t allow a run through
his first six innings of varsity ball, and junior Parker Hogge is expected to hold down a rotation spot. Brennan Card and Jordan Capuano are sophomore arms Grove calls “intriguing...to build upon.” Juniors Matt Boyd and Aaron Kanefsky will also get key innings. The Pioneers’ success will come mainly from their offense, Grove indicated. Sean Corcoran was hitting at a .500 clip in the early going, including four extra-base hits. Max Ehrhardt already has seven RBIs including a grand slam on his ledger. Mason Balsis, Bryce Demory and Brian Wilson are other key bats in the Pios’ lineup. Patriot has made the regional tournament each of the past eight seasons, a string Grove believes can continue. “Our younger pitchers still need a lot of grooming and development, and when they arrive (which they will) we will be an extremely fun team to watch,” he said.
BATTLEFIELD
PHOTO BY JAMIE CELIO
Versatile Panther Dylan Heil has emerged as an ace. Dylan Heil and Matt Drumgold are anticipated to bring the lumber, too. Heil is one of two hard-throwing Panthers’ aces, along with Cody Bosak. Each has earned a save and two wins already, with Bosak striking out 27 through his first 15 innings and Heil whiffing 23 through 11 frames. The only defeat Potomac suffered through its opening six games came to unbeaten Colgan by an 8-2 score, the only team to scratch out multiple runs versus the Sharks thus far. “Expectations are always the same,” Covington stated. “To win the district championship and advance in the playoffs.
-Record: 6-0 as of May 17 -Head coach: Jay Burkhart -Team Twitter: @GoBHSBaseball -Notable: The overall team speed of the Bobcats is the fastest in Burkhart’s 11 seasons at the helm. -How’s it going?: Armed with a deep pitching staff headlined by George Mason commit Jackson Baird and West Virginia commit Carson Estridge, the Bobcats have leapt out to a fast start. Baird brings a 92-mph fastball, good command of a sharp breaking ball, and experience in big games from his sophomore season. Estridge is tall and lanky, enabling him to pull down his curveball for outs. They’re backed up in Battlefield’s rotation by Joe Christopher and Kyle Zambrana. Sidearming right-hander Jack Robinson will be used in relief to close out games. At the plate, Blagen Pado sets the table for Baird and Stony Brook commit Adam Kuzmicki. Baird collected 12 RBIs through the

Coach Jay Burkhart has Battlefield in the hunt for another state berth. Bobcats’ first four contests. “This is the fastest team we’ve had in my tenure at BHS,” said Jay Burkhart, now in his 11th year as Battlefield’s head coach. “This is a plus thing in the field and an even better plus on the bases.” Burkhart raves about his class of sophomores. “We look to have four at-bats per game. If we are doing that then we will be tough to beat,” the veteran coach said. “We have started off hot and look forward to continuing with the early success.”

OBITUARIES William (Bill) H. Bundens William (Bill) H. Bundens, 54 of Warrenton, Virginia died Saturday at Fairfax Inova Hospital in Falls Church, VA
DR. JEROME “JERRY” DOVBERG It is with profound sadness that The Dovberg Family announces the passing of Dr. Jerome L. Dovberg on April 12, 2021. He was our beloved Husband, Father, Zaydie, Son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin and Friend. “Jerry” was born in 1945, to the late Nessie and Maurice Dovberg, in Philadelphia, PA. He grew up as the only brother of four younger sisters. He and his wife Sandi (née Lassoff), had recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in December 2020. Jerry graduated from Lincoln High School, Temple University, and The Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine, all in Philadelphia. After completing Medical School, the Army commissioned him to be the Chief of the Podiatry Clinic at The Pentagon, and later, at Dewitt Army Hospital, in Fort Belvoir, VA. While there, he assisted in surgical procedures from all specialties. One evening, while on duty in the ER, he heard a woman screaming from the bathroom. Upon investigation, he found a young woman in labor. Right there, that night, he delivered a baby boy. Jerry and Sandi settled in Northern Virginia after his military service had ended, choosing to live in Montclair with their three children. He went into private practice, under the name Potomac Podiatry Associates, Ltd. / Dovberg Foot Health Centers. Dr. Dovberg successfully ran three offices, the first two located in Alexandria and Woodbridge, and the third in The Liberty Village building, in Dumfries. Dr. Dovberg wrote news columns in the Potomac News, called Dr. D’s “Foot” Notes, and in the runners magazine, TrackMaster, answering readers’ questions. He volunteered his time in sports clubs, and sponsored local basketball, football, and soccer teams, as well as many local schools in the area. As a Diplomat and a Board Certified Surgeon, his techniques in the operating room were innovative. His sports medicine strappings of athletes’ feet enabled them to proceed with play, or run marathons, even while they were injured. A devoted doctor for over 45 years, he often saw previous patients return with their own children, and grandchildren. Having a great sense of humor, he was always joking with his patients. One long time patient shared, “An appointment with Dr. D., was like visiting a friend, laughing, and having a good time, while receiving excellent care.” A highlight in Jerry’s life was vacationing with his family. His favorite was their annual trip to the Caribbean island of St. Maarten. His love of Smooth Jazz was another way to bring his family together on jazz cruises, all over the world, and to live concerts & festivals, nationwide. Although Jerry was never professionally trained, he played the “piano by ear.” He was also a talented artist. His works included detailed pencil drawings, and pen and ink illustrations. Jerry took pride in driving his exotic car, The Excalibur. He delighted in participating in many car shows, throughout the country, as well as school functions with his children. He was often found driving in parades, waving and smiling to crowds of people, sometimes even while driving with elected officials. Jerry and Sandi attended many United States Presidential Inaugural Balls and many fundraisers. One black-tie gala that stands out was “Jazzmatazz”, benefiting Children’s National Medical Center. At this event, Jerry was chosen from the audience, and brought to the stage, to sing with The Persuasions. As the song ended, he sang his final note on a bent knee - arms spread wide - to a standing ovation. To quote The Washington Post, “He was smooth, he was sweaty , and he was having the time of his life.” He was a proud member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity and he was also a FreeMason. Jerry is survived by his wife, Sandi Dovberg; daughter, Mindi Dovberg; sons, Michael Dovberg (Dana), and Jeff Dovberg; granddaughters, Maya and Mila; grandsons, Mazen and Mylo; his sisters, Sandy Brown, Sherie Hershman (Mark), Debbie Molotsky (Dwight), and Deena Ginsberg (Gary). Over his 75 years on this Earth, Jerry’s magnetic, “larger than life” personality was felt by everyone who met him. From adorable little boy to affectionate grandfather, the love and pride he felt for his entire family was powerful. Equally, they loved, admired, and adored him. He will be deeply missed. Contributions may be made to a charity of your choice in loving memory of: Dr. Jerome L. Dovberg

He was a mechanic before he went to work for B.M. Brosius at Broken Hills Farm in Warrenton. After Mr. Brosius died, Ed Miller bought the farm and renamed it Brookfield. Wesley worked there for a total of 60 years. He was always happiest outside where he could make hay and care for the beef cattle. He was a jack of all trades and was responsible for the upkeep of the farm and keeping the equipment running. He was not happy when he was forced to retire at age 86 when the farm went into development. A graveside service was held at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at Little Georgetown Cemetery in Broad Run with Pastor Dave Knighton officiating.

William never passed an opportunity to offer help to all who needed it, whether through his knowledge of life or his hardworking hands. He was a dedicated husband and father, a devoted grandfather, and a beloved friend and brother. William leaves behind his loving wife of 52 years, Betty Jean Combs Sexton; his children, William Thomas (Amanda) and Jennifer; three grandchildren, Annalise, Bryson, and Tanner; one brother and 7 sisters. William is being reunited with his parents and one brother, William Cicero Sexton, Jr. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held: May 29th, 2021 at 10:30am at Leeds Ruritan Park in Hume, Virginia All who wish to attend are invited. In lieu of flowers please make donations in William’s name to: Your local Lion’s Club, www.lionsclubs.org Hunters for the Hungry, www.h4hungry.org William was always exploring where the roads would lead, never going the same way twice. May the road he has taken now lead him to peace and may he offer his continuous guidance to all those he has left behind.
