Cleared for takeoff: City OKs commercial flights from Manassas By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

By 2025, flights to Florida and elsewhere could be just minutes away in Manassas. The Manassas City Council voted unanimously Monday to bring commercial flights to the Manassas Regional Airport. Passenger flights are expected to get off the ground sometime in the next two years with Florida destinations likely. After holding two public hearings, the city council took the vote at Jennie Dean Elementary School, well aware that residents had concerns about noise, traffic and air pollution associated with additional aircraft flying in and out of the airport, which is now open to only private planes. “Change is hard, but it can be done,” Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger (D) told the crowd at the meeting. “This city is moving forward. This city is growing. People are coming here by the droves. Businesses want to move here. We have to be ready for it.” Lyle Sebranek was one of about 25 speakers at the July 24 public hearing who were about evenly split in support

Sebranek told the city council he has lived on Chevalle Drive – “as close as you can get” to the airport’s runway – for 40 years with his family. Years ago, there were very few flights but “then came the larger business-type aircraft,”

he said. Sebranek urged the council to consider the quality of life of the residents who live around the airport and pause the approval to perform a preliminary noise assessment. “Jets departing an airport make noise. Lots of it.” he said. “They’re

noisy regardless of what people say.” Residents of the Great Oak subdivision located across from Va. 234 from the airport voiced similar concerns. “The sound is an issue,” said Wilson Lee who resides on Aspen Wood Court. “This has to be thought out. Your neighbors in the community deserve more time.” Manassas residents Brian Nace and Cheryl Macias said the plan would move the city forward. Adding commercial flights “seems like a very natural step to increase the city’s profile,” Nace said. “It’s our next step,” Macias said, stressing that the proposal would “elevate the visibility of our city,” bring economic development and produce jobs. “It’s largely a no-brainer,” she said. Brandon Burton, also a Manassas resident, praised the plan for its convenience: “How amazing would a 10-minute trip to the airport be?” After more than 90 minutes of public comments, Vice Mayor Pamela Sebesky (D) asked Avports about specific concerns raised by residents, including the possibility of cargo flights using the expanded airport and increased traffic.

Homelessness up 35% as COVID supports end Minority, elderly, disabled residents disproportionately affected By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

The number of Prince William County residents experiencing homelessness hit a three-year high this year and is up more than 35% since last year, mirroring regional trends, according to a recent report released by Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. The economic stress of the pandemic, the expiration of COVID-19 era housing and income supports and a burst of new construction may have contributed to the rise in the homeless count, according to Tony Turnage, Prince William County’s director of homeless services. In the county, there are more people in homeless shelters now than there have been at any point in the past five years, according to the report, and more unsheltered people than there have been since before the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020.

There are no unsheltered homeless children in the county, but there were 40 families with children staying in either shelters or transitional housing during the annual “point-in-time” homeless survey conducted in January. The number of unsheltered people—those who are not living in a homeless shelter, hotel or other indoor location – was 73 when the PIT count was taken, compared to 102 in 2020. However, the number of unsheltered residents more

than doubled since 2022 when it was just 27. The PIT survey found 326 total residents experiencing homelessness, an increase of 35% from the 2022 PIT survey, which counted 241 such residents. It’s likely both numbers are undercounts, as it is difficult to find every homeless person when some manage to find temporary shelter during the winter. The count is conducted during the last 10 days of January each year. See HOMELESS, page 2

COVID but has seen some new faces among the homeless population. “We’re seeing new people who have never touched our system before,” Turnage said. “I don’t know if the problem is getting worse, but there is a lack of affordable housing in our county. The housing choice voucher program is full, and there is a need for a variety of subsidies.” Ongoing development of the county is also a concern for the homeless population, which can be pushed out of encampments as a result. “These wooded areas are now being developed,” Turnage said. “In some cases, a landowner will find people living on their property, and they are being fined because of trash and debris. The landowner may cut grass and brush, so there’s no more hiding places. It’s imperative that we have a well-coordinated street outreach team when we find people in these places not meant for human habitation.”

Available help

The number of shelter beds for the unhoused provided by in Prince William County during the pandemic rose 75% from 186 to 328. There are now about 210 beds spread among six shelters, and some of them have restrictions on who can use them. For example, the Hilda Barg shelter is for families only. The “supportive shelter” is for disabled or medically fragile adults, and the Ferlazzo building shelter is only for adults. The county also has a rapid re-housing program based on the “housing-first” approach. It helps homeless people by subsidizing their rent and providing a case manager for up to two years to help them get back on their feet. Turnage says that the program uses an individualized rather than “cookie-cutter” approach, since each household has different needs. “If you prove you can get a job and follow the rules, we’ll make a referral to permanent housing,” Turnage said. “Not having an income is

not a reason we can’t refer you.” Case managers help those in the rapid re-housing program search for jobs, as many apartments don’t allow those without an income to rent. Powers said homeless people in the county—and across the country—often don’t have the credit history to apply for apartments and lack the funds to pay the deposit on most of them. “We’re talking $3,000 that they have to come up with just to stabilize, which is one of the reasons people stay homeless,” Powers said. “They’re caught in a cycle. It’s traumatizing. People don’t cope well, and they literally snap.” Street Light attempts to “fill the gap” caused by what Powers said is a “complete lack” of affordable housing in Prince William County. Both Prince William County and The Street Light are planning to build new centers to help the county’s homeless population. The county’s planned “homeless navigation center” will eventually expand and replace the Ferlazzo shelter and augment it with drop-in services and will be completed in the next two to three years according to Turnage. Street Light’s planned “Hope Center,” an apartment-style facility that will provide support services such as medical care and job training to the homeless, is still seeking a location and funding and remains a work in progress. Powers said that because transportation is a barrier to many homeless people, she wants to create a center where everything it needs is under one roof. “Some of them have disabilities they will always have to live with— they may never be able to work—but at least they can live optimal lifestyles and feel worthwhile, with dignity, safety and the comfort of their own home. I think every individual deserves that.” Reach Anya Sczerzenie at fauquier.com HOW TO REACH US

Nonprofit ‘Settle the Debt’ clears student meal debt at 20 schools By Anya Sczerzenie

Schools free of student meal debt thanks to Settle the Debt

Times Staff Writer

About one in five Prince William public schools got relief from the cost of paying for school meals that kids couldn’t afford thanks to a nonprofit group’s fundraising. Under Virginia law, schools must provide kids with lunch even if they don’t have money to pay for those meals. Schools accumulate debt for those unpaid meals, which can become a burden on their budgets. A local nonprofit called Settle the Debt was created to help schools clear those debts so their budget dollars can stay focused on supporting student learning. Settle the Debt paid off $64,947 of the approximately $400,000 in student meal debt that had accumulated this past school year—enough to cover 20 of the county’s 100 schools. Gainesville attorney and mom Adelle Settle, who runs Settle the Debt, said any donations the organization collects from now on will be used to cover meal debt incurred during the upcoming 2023-24 school year. Most of the schools’ meal debts were covered by small donations, usually between $20 and $100. But in one case, an anonymous graduate of Woodbridge Senior High School paid off its entire lunch debt of about $26,000, Settle said. Federal dollars provide free and reduced-price lunch at school for low income children at schools nationwide. Under a special federal

Adelle Settle program, about 30 of the county’s schools have free meals for all students. The Community Eligibility Provision makes lunch free for all kids at schools where at least 40 percent of students qualify for federal free or reduced-priced meals. Paying for school meals is a challenge for many Northern Virginia families that the federal government does not consider low income because requirements to qualify for free and reduced-priced student meals don’t take into account the area’s high cost of living. Many Prince William County families make too much to qualify but still struggle financially. The problem has been exacerbated by high inflation and the fact that all school meals were free during the pandemic and up until the start of this past school year. Parents got out of the routine of paying for school meals, Settle said. “The need is high right now and

that reflects inflation challenges and the changing economy,” Settle said. “But also, it reflects how parents weren’t accustomed to paying it, so it’s left their budget. Parents didn’t have to worry about it during the pandemic, and that flexibility helped families budget better.” Settle collects donations for Settle the Debt and decides how to dole out the money based on economic need and geography. She says she wants to spread the money “equitably around the county.” Individual donors can choose what school they want their money to go toward, but if they do not, the money goes into a general fund, which Settle the Debt allocates to various schools. Though Settle takes pride in her nonprofit, she says that she looks forward to the day when it is no longer necessary to pay off students’ meal debts. Settle is an advocate for

universal free school meals, which are already a reality in states like California and Maine. “I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to pass this, so that parents won’t struggle to cover this very important part of kids’ lives,” Settle said. Settle said that she thinks Virginia is “much closer” to passing universal free school meals than they have been in the past. “We’re ramping up our efforts to reach out to the legislature to pass free school meals,” Settle said. “Just expressing who we are, what we want and why it would be a good economic decision to make sure every kid gets school meals and does not have to pay for them.” Until universal free school meals are passed in Virginia, Settle said the organization will continue to fundraise. “My goal is always to pay off as much school meal debt as exists,” Settle said.

Cleared for takeoff: City OKs commercial flights from Manassas AIRPORT, from page 1 Andrew King, Avports spokesperson, said that “cargo service is not contemplated in the franchise agreement.” Commercial passenger service “will be our focus,” he said, noting that “from a purely practical perspective, there’s no room for cargo service at those facilities nor are we able to build facilities for that.” With regard to traffic, King said traffic is always a concern “from both a neighbor perspective and from a business perspective.” He said Avports is committed to helping with traffic mitigation in the area. “Traffic is a major concern for any airport at any time,” King said. “If people can’t get to the airport because traffic is backed up, then airlines tend to not be happy if they can’t fill their seats.” Even prior to the franchise agreement’s approval, King said Avports has already engaged in conversations with city and Prince William County officials about traffic concerns. Traffic mitigation is also required by the Federal Aviation Administration as part of an environmental study that will be completed during the airport’s “PART 139 certification,” King said. In a lengthy discussion before the vote, several city council members acknowledged there would likely be “growing pains” associated with the change but said the area’s population is growing, and the airport needs to accommodate it. Commercial airlines have been envisioned as part of the airport’s future for more than three decades. Council members also thanked residents for their “passionate” engagement in the process. “It sent us to research … to other actions, and it made us follow through on our due diligence,” Councilman Ralph Smith (D) said. Sebesky said she heard from many constituents and understood it was a controversial deci-

Comments that have been made by this council clearly show that due diligence has been done, that lots of questions have been asked of all involved in this project,” Sebesky said. “Therefore, when we cast our votes, it can be made with confidence, not with questions about what may or may not have been said or done.” Councilman Tom Osina (D) said when he looked into traffic concerns, he learned that the county is already aware of the planned expansion of the airport and since the bowtie interchange at the Cloverhill intersection is still in the planning phase; changes can be made to accommodate anticipated traffic growth. He also said that other local roads have the potential to be widened to alleviate congestion if necessary. With regard to potential negative environmental impacts, Osina said that he was satisfied that the “extensive environmental analysis” conducted by the FAA as part of the certification process to allow commercial traffic at the airport “will be thorough to make sure that moving to expanded flights can be done at Manassas Airport.” He said airport noise, like other noises such as air conditioning and fireworks, is common. “We accept them for living in a suburban

environment,” Osina said. “I know there will be negative consequences. There will be more noise.” Councilman Mark Wolfe (D) said after he made the motion to approve the project. “I will hear it along with everyone else.” “I will assure you … in the next 30 years another million people will live in Northern Virginia,” Wolfe said. “That airport will grow, and there will be more planes and more flights and more noise at that airport.” “This is quite an added benefit for our city,” Councilmember Theresa Coates Ellis (R) touted the new jobs and educational opportunities the expanded airport will bring. “We have always said that our airport is a hidden gem for our communities and the surrounding area,” she said. “Now it is time for our gem to shine.” The decision means Avports will lease the airport terminal for 40 years and pay to construct a 35,000-square-foot addition to the current facility, which was built in 1996. Any physical improvements to the terminal would remain city property. The expansion of the airport will come in two phases. In the first phase, the airlines will use the existing terminal with minor upgrades, including new security checkpoints, to support about six to eight new commercial flights a day. It’s not clear how long Avports would operate under the first phase of improvements. During the second phase, the terminal will be fully upgraded and expanded to meet demand, which is expected to be about 24 to 30 flights per day. At full build out, air traffic volume is expected to increase by less than 11% of current traffic, Avports’ proposal said. Avports said it plans to operate four to six gates and aims to offer “seven-minute curb-to-gate service” to passengers. Avports could announce carriers and likely destinations within the next six to 18 months, King said in an interview after the vote. Commercial carriers “are already actively courting us,” he said.

GUEST OPINION

Why renaming a school for George Hampton helped correct an error in history Following the death of community leader George Hampton, I read about many of his awards as a military officer, public servant and member of his beloved Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Despite these achievements, some initially questioned his qualification to have a school named in his honor. The record will show that perhaps he was overqualified. George was a brilliant man who made significant achievements in every arena of his life. He and his wife, Delores, were political powerhouses and civil rights advocates. This renaming was not the first time George stood firm for the African American community to know and have access to its history. For decades, he celebrated Juneteenth in his backyard before it became a national holiday. At the end of the numerous listings of his accomplishments is a mention of a school named after him, sometimes as an afterthought. I am writing this tribute as a reminder of the impact of renaming the former Mills E. Godwin Middle School to George Hampton Middle School. This school’s renaming and naming of Fannie Fitzgerald Elementary were two of the most historical and impactful recent acts in the school division. Both events brought unknown historical facts to the forefront. When Fannie Fitzgerald Elementary School was named in 2008, the school board was considering two options: naming the school for Kyle Wilson, a fallen firefighter, or for Fannie Fitzgerald. The school board selected Fannie Fitzgerald because it came to everyone’s attention that she and three other Black female teachers (later known as the “Courageous Four”) were transferred in 1964 to all white schools overnight in what became a unique plan to successfully desegregate our county schools. The county’s schools were fully desegregated in 1966. Ironically, when George was encouraged to agree to have a school named in his honor eight years later, in 2016, the competitor was the same fallen firefighter. Standing-room-only crowds filled the boardroom during the naming vote for a new elementary school, and dozens spoke on behalf of both Kyle Wilson and George Hampton. The compromise came when Justin Wilk, the Potomac District school board representative, suggested the school be named for Wilson and that George Hampton’s name replace that of Mills Godwin, a former governor who had been one of the architects of the

LILLIE JESSIE

“Massive Resistance” in Virginia. Godwin’s name was on one of the county’s older middle schools. For many, Wilk’s suggestion was the first time we learned Godwin was one of the architects of the massive resistance – a strategy that involved closing down schools rather than desegregating them. Before the vote, I asked George if he would consider having Godwin Middle School renamed in his honor. His response was yes; his children attended that school. He later told me the newness of the school did not matter. He did not want his name on a school that did not want him. In essence, the school board did not rename Godwin; George allowed us to use his name as a replacement. This sudden change in the school’s name resulted in a “massive resistance” to another kind. There was even resistance to providing the needed funding to rename the school. In a telling move, the school division considered using the old letter “G” in Godwin instead of buying a new one. A school committee, led by Emmitt “Joe” and Vera Fletcher, played a pivotal role in fighting for equitable spending for the renaming. They were adamant about creating a school worthy of the recognition George deserved, and that they did. Readers need to know what the renaming of a school meant to George personally. He saw it as a way to leave a legacy to his children. He also told me and the Fletchers that it was one of his most outstanding achievements. He laughingly said, “Before this, the biggest part of my day was going back and forth to the doctors.” This recognition allowed us to spotlight the greatness of this man and to allow him to become one of the most lauded and recognizable figures in our county and, I dare say, the nation. Thank you, George Hampton, for standing strong so that students and our nation could correct an error in history in a public forum. In the words of philosopher George Santayana: “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Lillie Jessie is the Occoquan representative on the Prince William County School Board.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

When history is inconvenient The Prince William Board of County Supervisors had a chance to redeem itself by taking a non-partisan stance in support of historic preservation. Of course, they kicked it away. Tuesday’s party-line vote to defeat two resolutions to consider documented historic areas adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield Park for inclusion in the list of County Registered Historic Sites reminds us of how firmly our Democratic supervisors remain in the grip of their developer patrons. Despite their insincere claims of honorable intent, it’s clear what’s going on here. Prince William Digital Gateway supporters view any

attempt to preserve historic areas along Pageland Lane as an impediment to their mercenary plans and have so instructed their puppets whose campaigns they bankrolled. Look it up. When you add spending from her own campaign to that of political action committees on her behalf, pro-development interests spent close to half a million dollars in a failed attempt to saddle us with another four years of their enabler, Ann Wheeler. Now, with their window of opportunity closing, those unfulfilled donors are demanding immediate payback. BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

In support of the Prince William Digital Gateway Sometimes, it seems that everyone has an opinion on the Prince William Digital Gateway. Many of the arguments in opposition are similar to ones used for almost any development anywhere. If we are never going to develop any land in Prince William County ever again, then we should realize the potential costs involved. Harm to the economy, job losses, higher taxes due to a smaller business base and on and on. If we are going to develop land in Prince William County, then we should consider things like the huge stretch of high voltage power lines cutting through the county along Pageland Lane. Prince William County also already has fiber optic cables in the same general area. Let’s support using those resources to finish creating a productive high-tech corridor to produce much needed economic and job growth with less disruption to our environment than some other suggested uses for that area. Let’s support the Prince William Digital Gateway. LORI POLLACCI Manassas Letters to the Editor

Help for picking the right summer reads for students By Kirk Johnson

Contributing Writer

Summer Reading is here, which often means a mad rush for the same titles as students from schools all over Prince William County and the City of Manassas scramble to find the books on their school’s suggested reading lists. Your library makes every effort to have plenty of copies of those books—and both Prince William County Schools and Manassas City Schools coordinate with our selection staff when putting them together—but inevitably, some titles fly off our shelves faster than every student can get to them. So it’s good to remember that these lists are suggestions, not requirements, created by educators in collaboration with librarians to provide students with good examples for summer reading. There are plenty of other options, often by the same author, for books with similar plots, styles, themes, reading levels, etc. – all available at your library. While some lists offer “substitute” suggestions, and of course, library staff are on hand to help, your library also offers readers’ advisory tools in the Digital Library. NoveList is a long-running readers’ advisory tool from reputable library publisher EBSCO. There is a version of the database specifically tailored for grade school and middle school-aged children (as well as preschool ages). NoveList K-8 Plus provides a variety of ways to find a book to meet your reading needs or interests—thematic browsing, curated subject lists, genre lists and an advanced search function that allows patrons to specify Lexile reading ranges, search solely for award-winning titles, etc.

It’s a powerful tool backed by librarian input, publisher information and professional reviewers. Unlike commercial sites, which are often driven by marketing information and publisher preference, NoveList K-8 Plus lets users choose the parameters regardless of what sales execs or algorithms would prefer to highlight.

Access the database in our Digital Library from home at pwcva.gov/digitallibrary. The database will check for copies on hand so you can plan your next visit to your local library in advance. Check NoveList K-8 Plus out today. Kirk Johnson is a manager in the Prince William Public Libraries Materials Services Division.

What’s Hot at Prince William Libraries: July 2023 By Kirk Johnson

Contributing Writer

Some patrons may have noticed a lack of new print titles coming to your local library the past few weeks. We reached the end of our fiscal year and had “wrapped up” our purchasing a bit earlier than usual, so by the end of the month, our “new book” offerings were getting slim. Thank you for your patience! The good news is that July 1 is “Happy New Fiscal Year” for us, and we have already begun ordering, receiving, cataloging and processing new books for our eager patrons and under-filled shelves. Here are just a

few new titles coming to your local library—all mysteries, just to emphasize the sheer volume coming your way. Edgar Award-winning crime writer Paul Doiron has been entertaining detective fiction fans for years with his Mike Bowditch series. The latest installment, “Dead Man’s Wake,” finds Maine Game Warden Mike Bowditch dealing with a fatal speedboat “accident” that he suspects was anything but unintentional. Fans of the series will welcome this latest outdoor mystery. Continuing with the “mystery set in a scenic setting” theme, “Have You Seen Her,” by bestselling author Catherine McKenzie, puts three women with “dark secrets” in the

middle of Yosemite National Park. They cross paths, setting off a reckoning for all three of them. Amy Suiter Clarke examines the nature of cults, their potential for taking over entire communities, and the potentially problematic nature of true crime nonfiction in her latest novel, “Lay Your Body Down.” The main character is Del Walker, who had fled a small town to escape an oppressive church years earlier. Circumstances pull her back when an ex-boyfriend is found dead. She is convinced that he was killed and that the cult was involved. On a lighter note—if you’re a fan of cozy mysteries, you might already

be familiar with Miranda James’ “Cat in the Stacks” mystery series. “Hiss Me Deadly” is the latest title in the series, which is for cat lovers and library aficionados alike. If you’re more of a gritty-urban-detective fan, the latest Lisa Jackson “Detectives Bentz and Montoya” novel, “The Last Sinner,” is right up your alley. Set in New Orleans, this is a great introduction to this series and Jackson, a very prolific author. These books are coming to your local library, with many more to follow. We can promise that. Kirk Johnson is a manager in the Prince William Libraries materials services division.

BATTLEFIELD FOOTBALL SUMMER UPDATE

PURPLE POWER IN HAYMARKET At 23-2 the last two years, Hatfield has Bobcats on the prowl By Matthew Proctor Times Staff Writer

In two years as Battlefield High’s football coach, Greg Hatfield has lost just two games. In Hatfield’s first year in 2021 after moving in from Eastern View, the Bobcats won the Class 6 Region B title and reached the state semifinals. Battlefield posted a second consecutive undefeated regular season in 2022, before an upset loss to Colonial Forge in their regional opener. At 23-2 the last two seasons with two Cedar Run District titles, Hatfield has established a winning culture in Haymarket. The Bobcats won the Class 6 state title in 2010 under coach Mark Cox, a supreme feat that Hatfield would love to emulate. “You have to make sure you have the core values of your program very stable. That’s where your stability comes from. So, your expectations don’t change, your methodology doesn’t change, and I feel like we keep getting better at that,” said Hatfield. Returning much of his roster from last season’s Cedar Run champion squad, including starting quarterback Braden Boggs, Hatfield believes the Bobcats are in position to fight at the top of the region once again. “You’re only going to be as good as your weakest player on the field, and so you want the gap between one and eleven to be as small as you can make it,” he said. “I feel like we’re better because there’s more continuity and more kids know what to expect. What they’re going to expect from me and then what I’m going to expect from them.” That continuity is especially prevalent on the offense, where Boggs and two of his top receivers, senior Brandon Binkowski and junior Bryce Banning, return to the starting lineup. Boggs, a 5-foot-11 senior, is described as athletic, tough and extremely competitive. Hatfield is confident in the signal caller but wants to see him elevate his game by “making those around him better.” “He’s a really experienced football player. If he can help those guys around him get better, we’re better,” Hatfield said. With last year’s leading rusher Jelon John-

Battlefield, which opened in 2004, won the Class 6 state football title in 2010. The Bobcats are 23-2 the last two years with back-to-back Cedar Run District titles. son graduated, there will be a new face lining up alongside Boggs in the backfield. Hatfield isn’t sure who’s going to receive the bulk of the carries yet, citing the running back-by-committee route as a possibility, but he likes the potential of the group that includes senior Jason Campbell and juniors Sage Davis and Cam Binkowski. While Battlefield’s season opener is less than a month away, the Bobcats have been hard at work all summer long. Hatfield said the team has participated in seven-on-seven scrimmages and competed against other teams throughout the offseason, but his main focus is working the team in the weight room. “We really concentrate on strength and conditioning, and we’ve had really good turnouts in the weight room. I think our kids have bought into what we’re doing,” he said. “We’ve gotten stronger as a team.” Starting with Hylton on Aug. 25, the Bobcats play all four of their non-district games, all Cardinal District opponents, in the first four weeks, then enter district play. “Our district and county is good. There’s a lot of tough kids in our county. Obviously, (reigning Class 6 state champion) Freedom’s the cream of the crop, but Gainesville is going to be a really good

The Bobcats topped the Pioneers 17-7 in the season finale last year to win the Cedar Run District title. Battlefield plays two Thursday games, Aug. 31 at Potomac and Sept. 14 at Woodbridge.

Greater Manassas wins Babe Ruth Baseball age 16-18 state title, regionals next By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

COURTESY PHOTO

Comprised of high school players from Osbourn Park, Osbourn, Gainesville, Patriot and Brentsville, Greater Manassas won the Babe Ruth Baseball Virginia 16-18 state title last week, sending them to this week’s Southeast Regional in Centreville and Clifton.

Greater Manassas won the age 1618 Babe Ruth Baseball Virginia state title, downing Greater Loudoun 11-6 on July 17 in Lawrenceville. Greater Manassas went 4-0 in the tournament, downing Brunswick 14-0, Mecklenburg 10-5, then eliminating Stafford 6-5 in the semifinals. The team is composed of players from Osbourn, Osbourn Park, Gainesville, Patriot and Brentsville high schools. Pitcher Eli Laughman, a rising junior at Osbourn Park, was tournament MVP with two wins and a save. Luke Shearin, also of Osbourn Park,

batted .615. Leadoff hitter Lucas Johnson of Brentsville batted over .500, and Luke Pierce (Patriot) had eight RBI. Next up for manager Bill Laughman’s team is this week’s six-team Babe Ruth Baseball Southeast Regional, which opened Wednesday in Clifton and Centreville. Greater Manassas met host Southwestern Youth Association in its first game Wednesday. Citrus Park (Fla.), Greater Loudoun, Stafford and Lake Norman-Western North Carolina are also competing. The event concludes Saturday, July 29, followed by the Babe Ruth national tournament starting Aug. 13 in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

New home buyers can sometimes select custom features such as backyard amenities. SUBMITTED

The case for buying a new home By Jessica Saadeh

Long & Foster R ealty

In case you haven’t heard, it’s tough to be a homebuyer right now. In the Washington, D.C. metro area, the total number of homes available for sale in June was 27% lower than June of last year. In Fauquier County, there were 88 newly listed homes compared to 145 last June, which is a decrease of 39%. Lack of available homes means that, despite higher interest rates, demand from buyers is still high. It is common in this market for properly priced homes to receive multiple offers within a few days of listing. In order to be competitive, buyers are waiving home inspections, offering above list price with room for escalation clauses and making offers sight unseen. Despite all of these efforts, some buyers are losing out on house after house. The process can be defeating, especially for a first-time buyer. We are in a seller’s market and have been for some time now. With

all of the competition and frustration with buying resale, it may be tempting to buy new construction instead. Though their price tags are generally higher than resale, new homes have their advantages. With a custom or semi-custom home from a builder, buyers can choose their floor plan, upgrades (such as cabinets, tile and high-end kitchen appliances) and lot location. Some communities offer amenities such as golf courses, walking trails and swimming pools. There is comfort in knowing that everything in the home is brand new. Appliances, windows and building materials are likely to be energy efficient, which will save money on upkeep and utilities during the first several years of ownership. Builders give buyers multiple opportunities to inspect the home during the building process and will make changes if needed, as well as offering warranties on the work. Some new communities will build “spec homes,” which are mostly complete

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of Virginia’s policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Commonwealth. We encourage and support advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, age, familial status, or national origin. All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Virginia and federal fair housing laws, which make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or elderliness, or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.” This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis. For more information or to file a housing complaint, call the Virginia Fair Housing office at 804-367-8530 or toll-free at 888-551-3247. For the hearing impaired, call 804-367-9753. EMAIL: fairhousing@dpor.virginia.gov WEBSITE: dpor.virginia.gov/fairhousing

at the time they are offered for sale. Spec homes are not as customizable as the home was begun from scratch (though some options may still be available), but you will not have to wait as long to move in. The average turnaround for a custom or semi-custom home is three to six months depending on factors like material availability, weather and contractor delays. A spec home will likely be delivered in a similar timeline to a resale home (about 30 days). Even when buying a home from a builder, having a buyer’s agent by your side is a good idea. Your agent acts as your advocate, representing your interests in a transaction. The nice people in the sales office represent the builder’s best interests. The sales price, for example, is negotiable. Your agent will be able to do a price analysis to help you determine how much to offer. Your agent will also be able to navigate the contract and make sure that everything is in order and the terms meet your expectations. They can provide insight and advice regarding upgrades that give the most return on your home’s value and which ones may not be worth the extra expense. It’s important to read and understand every document that you receive before you sign it, so it doesn’t hurt to have an extra pair of eyes to look it over if any questions arise. A buyer’s agent will be with you every step of the way from your first viewing of the model home to the closing table. Choosing a builder is a crucial decision. An experienced agent will be knowledgeable about local builders and communities that have built in the past. It may even be possible to talk to someone who has already purchased a home from that builder and ask about their experience.

Most national builders have multiple communities being built at the same time. If you want to see a model home, but your community of choice doesn’t have one yet, your agent may be able to make an appointment to see a model that is built in another area. It’s also a good idea to shop around for your mortgage. Builders will have a preferred lender, but you’ll want to have a good basis for negotiation on interest rates and closing costs. Your agent will be able to refer you to different lenders. You can also check with the bank that you use for your checking or savings accounts. The right financing can make a big difference in your monthly payment. Buying a brand-new home can be an exciting, daunting experience. Make sure that you have the right agent behind you, who will have your back and work on your behalf, so that when you receive the keys at closing, you will feel comfortable and confident with your purchase.
