County schools face 300 teacher vacancies ahead of new year By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

With less than two weeks until the first day of school, Prince William County schools have about 300 open certified teaching positions, nearly a third of which are for special education teachers. The school division’s website listed hundreds of job openings as of Aug. 8, including jobs for teachers, substitutes, cafeteria workers and administrative staff. Of the openings, 148 — or around 28% — are for special education teachers. Specifically, teachers for students with autism or intellectual disabil-

ities; early childhood special education teachers; and temporary special education teachers are among the most needed. Under the last category, the school division is again looking to fill positions under a program that allows school divisions to hire people without a teaching certificate as long as they have a bachelor’s degree, the equivalent of one year of experience working with children and agree to work toward certification. The positions are dubbed “teaching professionals on temporary assignment” or TPOTAs. Meghan Silas, a school division spokeswoman, said the shortage is due to several factors, including more students who are eligible for special

education this year and the addition of 75 new teaching assistant positions, some of which are for special education. “We have seen an increase in students eligible for Early Childhood Special Education services, which requires the division to add new programs,” Silas wrote in an email. Special education teaching positions can be stressful and demanding and are typically hard to fill in Virginia and across the country. The specialty has the largest shortage in Virginia and 47 other states, according to research by the University of Virginia. See VACANCIES, page 5

Businesses fight new power lines for Innovation Park Data center demand drives need for more power By Shannon Clark

POWER STRUGGLE: Ryan Gutman, president of Planet Direct, is among Innovation Park area business owners who are objecting to Dominion Energy’s plan to string highvoltage transmission lines across Innovation Park.

Times Staff Writer

Dominion Energy needs more transmission lines to keep up with the power demands of Prince William County’s growing number of data centers. But the utility’s latest project has some area business owners frustrated because it proposes a huge overhead transmission line cutting through the county’s Innovation Park. The county’s premier corporate park, with 2 Silos Brewery on one end and the FBI’s Northern Virginia headquarters on the other, has been developed by Prince William County and keeps strict rules for its commercial occupants. For one thing, distribution power lines feeding Innovation Park tenants must be buried. Also, companies are asked to upgrade their buildings to meet the park’s standards. Ryan Gutman, president of Planet Direct, says allowing giant overhead transmission lines to cut through the park seems to contradict those aesthetic goals. “Having these transmission lines is going to have a severe impact, in my opinion, on people’s desire to work at Planet Direct, both existing and potential incoming employees,” Gutman said. Planet Direct, which produces direct mail advertising, has 160 employees and has been operating out of Innovation Park since 2021. According to Dominion’s plans for its Hornbaker Road transmission line project, the business is facing the prospect of new transmission lines running either

behind or in front of its building. As proposed, the 1.5-mile line would stretch from an existing transmission tower near the Freedom Center on George Mason University’s Manassas campus, down Freedom Center Boulevard, across University Boulevard and Prince William Parkway and then across Innovation Park. The lines would then cross Discovery Boulevard and Hornbaker Road, ending at a proposed Horn-

baker switching station behind two data centers on Hornbaker Road, according to Dominion maps. The lines could also cut in front of 2 Silos Brewery and would run along the back of the Regency apartment complex, which is located between Target on Va. 28 and two data centers along Hornbaker Road.

Hammerhead worms are toxic, slimy and invasive. They grow over a foot long and, if cut in half, will grow into two completely new worms. Worst of all, they’re already in local backyards. But experts say there’s no reason for panic. Hammerhead worms are a genus of predatory flatworms that originated in the tropical climates of Southeast Asia but have been slowly slithering their way up America’s East Coast.

Proposed transmission lines: Dominion Energy is proposing two options for new, overhead high-voltage power lines to feed Manassas-area data centers. Both routes would cut across Innovation Park, depicted in green, where overhead distribution lines are currently prohibited. support to object to the two overhead routes. Supervisors Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, whose district includes Innovation Park, and Bob Weir, R-Gainesville, both say they support alternative routes for the Hornbaker project. “I want the innovation owners to know as long as I’m on the county board of supervisors, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with them to protect their interest and in the interest of Innovation Park collectively,” Lawson said. Part of the proposed route crosses onto county owned parcels, requiring Dominion to gain an easement from the board of supervisors to move forward with the project, Lawson said. Lawson said she wants Dominion to bury the lines and said she and Weir will vote in opposition of the two proposed overhead routes if the board they are considered by the supervisors. “I am fully supportive of helping (business owners) defeat this proposed line,” Lawson said. Board Chair Ann Wheeler, however, said the county may not have a vote in the matter. “The choice of a path has not been filed with the SCC for comment, and the SCC makes the ultimate determination on the route and what form it takes,” Wheeler, D-At Large, said in an email. “The utility has an obligation to serve, so we know that there will be a line coming into that area. The

county will have to work with all involved toward the best outcome for the area businesses,” she added. “This process is just beginning, and my understanding is that Dominion is already re-evaluating how they will serve these new customers who need power.” Dominion officials were scheduled to meet with Innovation Park business owners and Lawson on Tuesday, Aug. 8, during an annual Innovation Park owners meeting. The Prince William Times was not permitted to attend the meeting. While Dominion’s webpage for the Hornbaker project says the application will move forward late this summer, Fox said the company has not yet filed an application with the SCC and is “continuing to listen

The Manassas Museum’s red brick walls and narrow arched entryway are history. Newly installed sleek glass walls let the sunshine in and beckon visitors inside to learn about Manassas’s rich history. After more than a decade of planning, the museum’s year-long $6.7 million renovation and expansion are complete. The building is now open to the public daily for free. Currently on display is a timeline exhibit featuring the history of the Manassas region beginning with the area’s first inhabitants, the Patawomeck Tribe. The timeline continues post-European contact and documents hundreds of years of local history culminating on April 2, Manassas’s 150th birthday, said museum curator Mary Helen Dellinger. The timeline exhibit spans two hallways and took exhibit designers more than a year to plan and execute. The display highlights important events in local history and places them in context alongside significant Virginia and U.S. historical events, Dellinger said. It was a difficult task to write one-sentence descriptions for such consequential events and images included on the timeline, Dellinger said, noting that her goal is to engage and educate museum visitors. “I want the public to know all the things.” Also on display now is a crowdsourced collage that answers the

and engage with the community on routing.” Austin Haynes, a former Prince William County planning commissioner and Holladay Properties’ senior vice president of development, noted that Villagio Hospitality Group, the parent company of Farm Brew Live, is planning a new boutique hotel next to the brewery and that the tranmission lines would be an unwelcome neighbor. “Fourth floor guests on that side of the building will be looking directly at power lines,” Haynes said. “I think everybody understands the need for what they are doing, but it’s how you can make it so that it’s the least impactful on the businesses?” Reach Shannon Clark at sclark@ fauquier.com.

Local officials gathered for a July 28 ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the reopening of the renovated and expanded Manassas Museum, which was closed for about a year for construction. question: What does Manassas mean to you? During Manassas’s 50th anniversary celebration earlier this year, museum staff handed out about 700 small canvasses to locals of all ages and asked each person to paint or decorate their canvas in a way that represents their personal point of view on the city, Dellinger said. About 350 canvases were returned, which were stretched and arranged into a series of large, square-tiled collages that will remain on display in the museum’s new Merchant Hall through the end of the year, Dellinger said. The museum also just rolled out a new “hands-on discovery cart” exhibit that allows people to touch and explore historical items selected from the museum’s vast 8,000-piece collection, Dellinger said. Programming staff stay with the ®

cart, interpret the items and answer questions. The cart’s themes change every two weeks through the first week of October. It is on display on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon, Wednesdays from noon to 2 p.m. and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sometime this fall, the museum will unveil its long-term exhibit gallery, which will have five different themed exhibits: “On the Move,” “Faces and Places,” “Native Legacy,” “Echoes of War” and “That’s Entertainment.” Each will strive to tell two stories, Dellinger said, one static and one that will change more often. “The possibilities are endless,” she said. Offering up a sneak preview, Dellinger said that the “On the Move” exhibit is planned to have a railroad exhibit and tell a story about a pri-

vate airfield with a dirt runway that once existed in the area. “It’s a story that people don’t know,” Dellinger said. The museum is excited to share the story, as told in pictures and items provided by the family of the airfield’s former owner, she said. The museum has partnered with the Patawomeck Indian Tribe of Virginia on the Native Legacy exhibition, for which the tribe helped develop programming, Dellinger said. The 6,300-square-foot museum opened in its current location 30 years ago in 1992. The entirety of the museum was “comprehensively renovated,” said Patty Prince, City of Manassas spokeswoman. The expansion has added about 4,600 square feet of new space, including a special exhibition hall and new collection space. The addition features soaring glass walls that open to an outdoor courtyard that is already a popular spot for locals to meet and enjoy lunch alfresco, Dellinger said. In January 2024, the museum’s new education room will begin presenting programs, and several spaces in the museum will be available for rent, Dellinger said. Visit the Manassas Museum and Echoes, the museum’s gift shop, daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. The museum is located at 9101 Prince William St. in Manassas.

The 230-kilovolt overhead transmission line and switching station are proposed to help “support data center growth and area reliability in the Innovation Park area,” according to the project’s webpage on the Dominion website. “We don’t come in unless there’s a need, a customer,” said Pamela Ensminger, a project manager for Dominion Energy. But until a few weeks ago, Gutman said he and the other Innovation Park business owners were expecting Dominion to run the Hornbaker project transmission lines underground -- or at least not right next to their businesses. On July 14, Dominion sent a letter to businesses and residents that would be affected by the final two proposed routes, both of which run overhead lines through Innovation Park. “As data center development continues to grow, there is a need for new electric infrastructure,” Dominion’s letter said. Ensminger said Dominion initially considered nine potential routes, including one that would have been entirely underground. The route was rejected from final consideration due to five constraints, one of which was a telecommunication facility that Ensminger said cannot be demolished. Other constraints include a right-ofway impacting Hornbaker Road. Dominion is required by state law to provide service to any customer who requests it within their service district, according to Aaron Ruby, Dominion Energy’s manager of media relations. The Hornbaker project will have to be completed. “(A project) is always going to affect someone,” Ensminger said. “We try to be mindful of what we do.” Gutman said Planet Direct has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to both “dress up the front” of his building and to bury its utility lines, as the county requires. “Part of the story is that the county has to defend ... the business community that has been working in the park,” Gutman said. “They need to push back on Dominion and uphold the covenants they created ... and require the utility providers to do the same as businesses in the park were required to do, which is to go underground.” Dominion says they do not yet have a preferred route, as the routes may change upon discussion and evaluation, according to Peggy Fox, Dominion’s media and community relations manager for Northern Virgina. Fox also said the company does not yet have a cost estimate for the new transmission lines, as the company is still in the “initial planning phase for conceptual routing,” and the cost could change. Costs will be included in the project’s application to the Virgina State Corporation Commission, which will have the final say on the route Now, Gutman and other business owners are seeking the county’s

Woodbridge school board candidate switches parties, accepts GOP endorsement

2023

Wine, Beer, Cider and Distillery

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Jaylen Custis, formerly a Democrat, recently accepted the local Republican Committee’s endorsement in his bid for the Woodbridge District seat on the Prince William County School Board because he says his views on school safety, student achievement, LGBTQ issues and guns more closely align with the GOP. “Education should be focused on safety, security and improving our test scores,” Custis said. “I believe both sides – I’ve been talking to Democrats, independents and Republicans – believe our students deserve the best education possible.” At 19, Custis, a recent graduate of Forest Park High School, is the youngest candidate for local office in the Nov. 7 contest. He made news earlier this spring when the Prince William County Democratic Committee disqualified him from seeking its endorsement because he spoke before the local Moms for Liberty group in February. Moms for Liberty is a conservative parent group known for its opposition to student equity and inclusion efforts and its work to remove books from school libraries that its members find objectionable. The group was recently labeled an “anti-government extremist group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Custis said he met with the local Moms for Liberty group because he is interested in all parents’ perspectives. Regarding his campaign for school board, Custis said he’s most concerned about academics and student safety, including the problem of guns and drugs in local high schools. Custis said he supports the school board’s decision earlier this year to equip all 35 county middle and high schools with Evolv weapons-detec-

Custis also takes issue with LGBTQ issues being discussed in schools and said students “should keep those issues at home.” “I personally believe it’s your body, and you can do what you want, but keep that at home. I do not believe that inside the school is where it belongs,” Custis said. “I believe that you should not push it upon children.” Asked if he supports Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s model policies on the treatment of transgender students in public schools, which, among other things, would require students to get their parents’ permission to use different names or pronouns in schools, Custis said he does. “I’m a big Second Amendment guy,” he said. “But just like I would not feel comfortable about giving a 6-year-old a gun, I would not feel comfortable letting them say ‘I’m a girl’ or ‘I’m a boy.’”

According to the U.S. Department of Education, 45% of U.S. schools with at least one vacancy reported vacancies in special education, with 78% of schools reporting difficulty in hiring special education staff. While the pandemic worsened special education shortages nationwide, they existed long before COVID. One of the main challenges, according to the DOE, is that too few candidates are applying. To combat this, Prince William County schools have multiple programs that attempt to recruit new teachers and staff. The school division is hosting job fairs for prospective teachers and offers several programs to help advance the careers of student teachers, teaching

apprentices and those with provisional teaching licenses. The division is partnering with two universities—Virginia Commonwealth and George Mason—to train teaching apprentices through paid classroom experience. Through the VCU program, the school district will host six apprentice teachers, three of whom will work in special education classrooms. “Our students will benefit greatly from this initiative this year by having two adults teaching them,” Silas wrote in an email. “Upon completion of the program, these teacher apprentice residents are committed to teach a minimum of three years with PWCS.” Reach Anya Sczerzenie at asczerzenie@fauquier.com

If you or someone you know has battled a new case of COVID-19 in recent days, you’re not alone. COVID-19 cases are trending upward once again in parts of Northern Virginia, including Prince William County, where cases reported by urgent care centers and hospital emergency rooms are the highest they’ve been since early March. But the rise in cases mirrors seasonal patterns seen in previous years, and cases are much lower than they were in the summer of 2022, according to the Virginia Department of Health. Prince William County’s health district released a statement saying that although there has been a small increase in reported cases, there is “nothing to indicate a spike,” according to Emely Melendez, a health district spokeswoman. Local cases reflect the ongoing uptick in cases in Virginia and nationwide. Across the U.S., hospitalizations are rising for the first time since early 2023. However, hospitalizations are still low compared to earlier in the pandemic. Virginia, as a whole, has seen cases rise since June. In the last week of June, there were 655 diagnosed cases of COVID-19. In the last week of July, there were 1,249 diagnosed cases, according to VDH. In Prince William County, the number of cases diagnosed at urgent care facilities and emergency departments began trending upward in

Local health care facilities reported 85 COVID cases during the week ending Aug. 3, an increase of nearly 30% from the previous week. early July. In the last week of July, there were 66 diagnosed cases in the county, compared to 27 during the last week of June. Those numbers are likely undercounts, however, since most cases are not reported to the state health department, nor are most people with COVID going to either an urgent care or an emergency room. This year’s increase in cases is small compared to last summer’s spike. In late July 2022, there were as many as 362 weekly cases of diagnosed COVID-19 in Prince William County. In the Rappahannock Rapidan District, 136 cases were reported during the third week of July 2022, according to VDH. Although smaller, this year’s summer uptick may come as a surprise to those who have allowed themselves to

forget about the virus. It also shows that COVID-19 still exists in Virginia. COVID-related hospitalizations in Virginia have also been trending upward but remain relatively low compared to previous years. Hospital admissions for COVID in Virginia have gone up by about 5% this past week and are at about 1.5 per 100,000 residents. There is still about one COVID death per week in the state, which is lower than last month’s average of three per week. The amount of COVID-19 recently detected in the county’s wastewater remains “below detection” in the Upper Occoquan watershed, which is another sign that cases are not rising dramatically in Prince William County. “Generally, wastewater spikes will precede patient case spikes,” said Cheryle Rodriguez, a VDH

spokesperson, in an email. “People begin shedding the virus in their feces very early in the disease, so by the time they visit a doctor and get tested, the wastewater is already reflecting the higher viral load.” Only some of the state’s watersheds monitor wastewater for COVID-19, and the Upper Occoquan—which covers all but the southernmost part of Prince William County—is one of them. As of mid-July, the watershed’s level was still listed among the lowest in the state and has been since February. Rodriguez said that the samples are collected at the same location and time every week or two weeks at the inlet to the wastewater treatment plant, meaning the water is tested before it is cleaned. She said it is likely that wastewater analysis would show a spike in cases several days in advance, though they have not recently analyzed how many days this would be. Across the country, some areas are experiencing a far more dramatic spike than Virginia. Two counties in Texas have seen hospitalizations triple in a single week, while localities in Oklahoma and Nebraska are also experiencing large increases. The VDH dashboard also shows that 74% of Virginia’s population has received the primary series of COVID-19 vaccines, though only 18% are considered “up-to-date” on vaccinations, meaning they received all boosters recommended by the CDC based on age and other factors.

Police: Maryland man, 33, fatally stabbed in Woodbridge Staff Reports Police have identified the victim of a fatal stabbing in Woodbridge over the weekend as a 33-year-old Maryland man. Jesse Edwardo Marroquin Cordon, of Brentwood, Maryland, died Saturday, Aug. 5, after he was stabbed outside a home in the 800 block of Fulton Place near the Belmont Bay area of Woodbridge, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County Police spokesperson. Officers responded to the home at 10:24 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5, to investigate and found the victim had collapsed in the backyard. Officers attempted to provide first aid, but

Cordon was pronounced dead at the scene, Perok said in an news release. The police investigation determined Cordon and an acquaintance, later identified as Heriberto Valdez, 24, of Woodbridge, who was later arrested, were involved in an altercation outside the home that escalated physically. During the fight, Valdez allegedly stabbed the Cordon before chasing him to the backyard, the release said. Valdez remained at the home and was arrested without incident, Perok said. Valdez was arrested and charged with murder and use of a weapon in the commission of a felony in connection with the incident, according to court records.

Firefighters respond to a fire in Virginia Oaks sparked by lightning during the Monday, Aug. 7 thunderstorms.

Lightning sparks townhouse fire in Gainesville Staff Reports A lightning strike during the Monday night thunderstorm is being blamed for a fire that displaced residents of two townhomes in Virginia Oaks in Gainesville, according to Prince William County Fire and Rescue officials. Units were dispatched to the 8000 block of Montour Heights at about 6:57 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 7, after residents reported smelling smoke. Upon investigation, the residents found heavy smoke coming from the attic, according to Prince William County Assistant Fire

Chief Matt Smolsky. Crews arrived to find fire showing and spreading to an adjoining home. Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames, and no injuries reported, Smolsky said in a news release. One home sustained extensive damage, while the adjoining home suffered smoke and water damage. Both homes were posted unsafe to occupy by the Prince William County building official, Smolsky said. Two adults were displaced. The Fire Marshal’s Office determined a lightning strike ignited the fire, Smolsky said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Keep data centers from desecrating Civil War history The Civil War Confederate Army camp history along Pageland Lane in Gainesville is amazing. Pre- and post-Civil War farms in the Virginia Piedmont show early schooling, enslavement of African Americans and agricultural practices which we will never again be able to see. The battlefield is on the National Registry of Historic Places. When Congress first bought the Battlefield area, they did so with the hope of having inner-city youth come to learn and see firsthand all about our history. Why in the world would Prince William County’s leaders remotely consider allowing all this history to be paved over by cement data centers? Before anymore plans and rezoning applications can proceed, we need to have real due diligence

8/9

with full ground radar analysis to see what history we will be paving over with these data center buildings! Moreover, we need to make sure that no Digital Gateway buildings will be visible from any points in the battlefield! It’s interesting how a decade ago the Pageland Lane area owners wanted their land to be put on the historic preservation lists because they worried about a possible Bi-County Parkway. Now, all of a sudden, when they are being offered millions, they want to sell their land and could care less about the historical value! Save our history and stop desecrating it!

Woodbridge school board candidate switches parties, accepts GOP endorsement CUSTIS, from page 5 Regarding guns, Custis has spoken during citizens’ time at recent Prince William Board of County Supervisors’ meetings to advocate against any effort to outlaw guns in county parks. The local Moms Demand Action group has been asking supervisors to use their authority to ban guns from parks because of safety concerns.

Most recently, Custis told the supervisors during their July 25 meeting that he does not believe guns are an issue at county parks and that he feels more comfortable knowing “good people” are armed at public parks. During an interview after the meeting, Custis said he owns three guns: a shotgun, a .22 rifle and “a bookbag gun,” which he described as a 9 mm gun that can be broken down into sep-

Slimy, toxic and invasive but nothing new WORMS, from page 1 Recent news reports from outlets like CNN and The Washington Post have raised the alarm about the worms’ takeover of Northern Virginia, but residents have been spotting them for years. Hammerheads have been here for decades, according to Dr. Theresa Dellinger, a diagnostician at the Virginia Tech insect identification laboratory. While studies have shown that two species of hammerhead worms possess the same neurotoxin found in pufferfish, Dellinger says the risk for humans and pets is relatively low. “Unless you lick the worm or touch it and then rub your eyes, there’s probably nothing to worry ts lis Flooring Specia about,” Dellinger told the Fauquier Times. . .. ore &M Bill Crisp, a Manassas resident who specializes We can keep your image clean! 50th Anniversary Cleaning Specials in helping residents deal with snakes in and around Home & Office Serving the Community from One Location for 50 years! their homes, had his own run in with the toxin secretCarpet Cleaning Two More • Water Extraction • Structural Drying ing worms lastor spring on a property in Gainesville. • Carpet/Oriental Rug Cleaning s t r e Flooring • Accept All Major Insurance Companies Crisp said he was expecting a different venp Rooms Get One FREE • Latest & Fastest Drying Technology! he Ex 24 Hrs • 7 Days!

arate parts to carry in a bag. Custis said he enjoys going to shooting ranges and keeps his guns for protection. The Prince William County Republican Committee Chairman Denny Daugherty confirmed the group’s endorsement of Custis in a statement. Custis is challenging incumbent Woodbridge School Board Representative Loree Williams, who is vying for a third full term on the board.

that touched the worm. The feeling lasted for several hours, but Crisp says he didn’t feel any pain. “For something that small and that skinny, you wouldn’t think anything of it,” Crisp said. Now, Crisp tells his customers to be on the lookout for hammerheads, though he hasn’t heard of any other sightings from his clients or crew. A neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin – the same found in pufferfish -- may have caused the numbness. The substance can cause paralysis and death if ingested. A 2014 study detected the toxin in two species of hammerhead worm, Bipalium adventitium and Bipalium kewense, making them the first land-dwelling animals ever found to produce the toxin. Both toxic species are found in Virginia, according to a 2022 study. Joe Villari, manager of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation’s Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve, located on the border of Fauquier and Prince William counties, has spotted two or three of the worms in the preserve since 2020. He even picked up the first worm he spotted – though he advises against doing this at home. “It is one mean-looking predatory worm,” Villari said. Villari, a zoologist, remembers slicing the worms in half as a lab experiment while he was in college. The worms can regrow into two new organisms if cut in half. This is part of what makes them so difficult to kill. Unlike Crisp, Villari said he didn’t feel anything when he picked the worm up though he said he’s “definitely cautious and concerned regarding the worms.”

Williams, 45, has the Democratic endorsement in the race. Shantell Rock, 47, chair of the county’s Racial and Social Justice Commission, is also running for the Woodbridge school board seat as an independent. Rock has the endorsement of the Prince William Education Association, the local teachers’ union. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

In the soil, the worms are fearsome predators of earthworms and snails, and they have no natural predators on the East Coast. That dynamic raises red flags for some about an environmental imbalance. There is a lack of consensus on the environmental impact of the worms. Dellinger said he believes the invading worms’ ecological impact seems relatively small. Hammerhead worms have been present on the East Coast for decades in states like Georgia, where they have yet to cause any serious environmental harm. There are even reports of hammerheads as far north as Pennsylvania dating back to the 1940s, and hammerheads have been a common sight in American greenhouses since at least 1901. Dellinger pointed out that many of the otherwise unremarkable earthworm species in the U.S. are invasive. Villari, on the other hand, is concerned about the threat to earthworm populations that are a key part of Virginia’s ecosystem. The Georgia Department of Agriculture maintains an informational page on hammerhead worms but says it is unnecessary to report sightings and that there is no consensus on whether the worms should be killed or left alone. Villari advises safely disposing of the worms if sighted. Both Villari and Dellinger agree that the worms should be killed by placing them in a plastic container and freezing or salting them. If properly sealed in plastic, the worms can also be left in the sun to dry out, but it is important to wear gloves and wash hands afterward, they said. Reach Hunter Savery at hsavery@fauquier.com

Couple’s love story begins a new chapter at Open Book By Ashley Claire Simpson Special to the Fauquier Times

The Open Book is filled with all kinds of reading material: classics, historical fiction, biographies and plenty of love stories. In fact, owner Cammie Fuller says romance is one of the shop’s most popular genres. “We sell a lot of romance books,” Fuller said. “And we at the Open Book ourselves really just love love.” So it’s only appropriate that on Monday, June 5, the Open Book helped write one real-life couple’s love story. With the help of Fuller and her team – the “Crew of Bookish Delights” – Culpeper gym teacher and football coach Donald Downs popped the question to his now fiancée, high school English teacher Anna DeCrease. It was the first engagement to take place at the independent Warrenton bookstore, but Fuller said she hopes it won’t be the last. “When Donald asked me if we would be a part of his proposal, I said, ‘Yes! Sign me up,’” Fuller said. “I love everything about this.’ It was so cute and sweet, and Donald is the sweetest guy who wanted everything to be perfect for Anna.” Downs said he knew he wanted to propose to DeCrease at The Open Book after having one of their “best dates” there earlier this year: a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt. “I’m not a book guy, but we had a great time,” he said. “It was cool because when we walked in, there was wine and finger foods, and they gave each couple a list of types of books to find. For example, there was ‘find a book about a destination you want to go to with your significant other,’” he said. “It really gave you the opportunity to have conversations you wouldn’t have otherwise.” Downs and DeCrease had been dating nearly two years at that point, but the date was special.

Anna DeCrease discovered this table at the back of Open Book during a fake scavenger hunt right before her fiancé, Donald Downs, popped the question.

Donald Downs proposes to Anna DeCrease at the Open Book in June. “The scavenger hunt was set up so that you could really have meaningful conversations,” he said. Fast forward a couple months. Downs was ready to propose. And as he thought about options for popping the question, he kept coming back to the Open Book. “There are few places she loves more than a bookstore, and the obvious one was the Open Book,” Downs said. Downs emailed Fuller, and she and her employee, Alison Zak, hatched a plan. Downs’s main job (besides proposing) was getting DeCrease to Warrenton on the day of the proposal: June 5, the second anniversary of their first date. DeCrease’s friends were planning to visit from her hometown in Pennsylvania, and Downs was in cahoots with them and her parents. Downs suggested they go to Warrenton for the day, where they ate lunch at Denim and Pearls. At the end of the meal, as Fuller arranged, the restaurant staff presented DeCrease and her friends with an official invitation to the Open Book. “We got an envelope that said we were their 20th table, so we won the chance to participate in a scavenger hunt at The Open Book,” Decrease recalled. “The note said we had to be there by 5 p.m. I was so excited, telling my friends that I’d been there and had done a really fun scavenger hunt there before, so we headed right over. I thought I was going to win a free book, too, and I was so excited about that.” At the bookstore, the staff had printed clues to make it appear as though the scavenger hunt was

for more than just DeCrease and her friends. DeCrease’s clue challenged her to find a certain book based on its cover, the author’s initials and the genre. “They had a whole bowl full of clues to throw me off,” said DeCrease, not realizing all were identical. “I was taking my sweet time, looking through all the shelves.” Meanwhile, the staff had set up a table in the back of the store with the book, “The Proposal,” by K.J. Micciche, propped up next to flowers and champagne. “I noticed the book had a heart-shaped note on it that said, ‘This is the one.’ I turned around to tell my friends … and I saw Donny walking toward me in a fancy suit. I heard myself say to him, ‘What are you doing here?’” The store faded into the background as Downs dropped to one knee to ask, “Will you marry me?” Amid complete and happy shock, DeCrease answered, “Yes!” Much to Downs’ delight, the day went just as planned. “I wasn’t nervous about Anna’s answer, but I was worried about everything going well,” Downs said. “Thanks to Cammie and everyone at the Open Book and to Anna’s friends – whom I was texting the whole time – everything went perfectly.” Afterward, the couple and their friends met their families to celebrate at a local brewery. DeCrease said she wasn’t surprised that Downs went to such great lengths to make his proposal extra special. “I think the day I knew he was ‘the one’ was when he took me on a surprise day trip to Rehoboth Beach,” DeCrease said. “We had only been dating a few months, and all he had told me was the time he was going to pick me up and to bring a bathing suit. It was a perfect day – neither of us wanted to leave at the end. I remember thinking to myself, I could do this for the rest of my life. He had told me he wasn’t a planner, but he proved otherwise. He still does things like that for me all the time.” Downs said it didn’t take long before he knew he wanted DeCrease to be his wife. “The one time when I let myself realize it was a couple months after we started dating,” he said. “We had been going on dates the entire summer, but I didn’t ask her to be my girlfriend until August. We went to the Green Day concert afterward, and I looked at her at one point and caught her eye. She was singing and dancing, and I just knew.” Still, both Downs and DeCrease are open books about the topic, agreeing the engagement was worth the wait. The two have spent their summer enjoying the engaged life and are just beginning to make wedding plans. One thing is for sure, though: The Open Book will somehow be a part of their nuptials.

Forest Park High football coach John Robinette is using last year’s terrific year-end surge as a bridge to more success this fall. In case you’ve forgotten, the Bruins saved the best for last in 2022, ripping off four wins in their last four regular season games to roll into the region playoffs. After opening 1-3, Forest Park won five of their last six, including clutch wins over Woodbridge 21-20, Gar-Field 23-9, Colgan 50-24 and Hylton 37-20 to finish the regular season at 6-4 and 5-1 in the Cardinal District. Robinette says his squad is big and strong enough to maintain last season’s smashing run, which ended with a 4425 loss to John Champe in the Class 6 Region B quarterfinals. “We’re excited over here. We’re ready to go,” said the Bruins’ veteran coach, back for his sixth season.

The Forest Park offense

The two pillars that will hold up the Forest Park offense are junior offensive tackles Nathaniel Wright and Brandon Edozie. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Wright has multiple Division 1 offers, including Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and James Madison. Robinette said that it is “just a matter of time” before the 6-7, 250-pound Edozie, who is also an all-state basketball player, gets football offers from top programs. The two powerful tackles mean that the Bruins should be going downhill on offense. Junior Landon Hunt and sophomore Antonio Jones will be splitting

In this sport you never know what you have till you’re on the field again, everything resets every year,” Robinette said. “I was really proud of our resilience last year to bounce back after games against tough opponents, and now I think we’re in a position where our program is much mentally tougher, ready to deal with the ups and downs, and ready for the competition,” Robinette said.

2023 prospects

Making the Class 6 playoffs is never easy, but the Bruins did it last year and could be even better in 2023. The offense, which averaged 29.9 points per game, has a lot of returning talent, and the defense, which allowed 31.3 per game, also figures to be better. “We want to score more points than the other team,” Robinette said. “We’re effective offensively if we score more points than they do, we’re effective defensively if we allow less than they do.” The Bruins open Aug. 25 at home against Mountain View, looking to avenge last season’s 33-13 loss, then come three straight non-district road games, including a trip to Gwynn Park in Brandywine, Md., on Sept. 15. They have just four home games this year. One barometer of how the season will go is a Sept. 29 road game at defending Class 6 champ Freedom (Woodbridge). The Bruins lost last year’s matchup 74-0, but Freedom blew out almost everyone en route to a state record 972 points.

COURTESY

Real estate is a great long-term investment. As Mark Twain once said, “Buy land; they’re not making it anymore.”

How can your realtor help? Let me count the ways By Denise Schefer Long & Foster

Most buyers and sellers pick up the phone and reach out to a realtor when they are ready to start touring houses or put a “for sale” sign in their front yard. But did you know that your agent can provide a wealth of knowledge and valuable recommendations well before then?

For buyers

Local realtors can discuss current market conditions, suggest neighborhoods you might not have considered in your home search and give you a better sense of how long the process could take. In today’s market with limited inventory, it might take longer to find that perfect home than buyers initially think. Give yourself plenty of time! If you are financing your purchase, your agent can also put you in contact with a good local lender that can advise you on what type of loan(s) you qualify for and how much you will be able to borrow. They can advise you on ways to improve your credit score to secure more favorable loans and rates, if needed. Improving your credit can often be done with small, simple changes, but the results can take several months to take effect.

For sellers

Good realtors have developed a long list of contractors to call (and some to avoid) over the course of their careers. These contractors include electricians, painters, plumbers, appliance repair and retailers, carpet cleaners and many more. Your agent can provide you with this valuable information to help you keep your home in great condition

and avoid having to hire a second contractor to fix a project or fix it yourself. I have been there. It’s no fun! Just as you talk to your financial advisor regularly, consult with your realtor regularly. Realtors can also offer advice on home trends and provide updates on how much a home is worth in today’s market. They can also advise you on home improvements to complete to get the most out of your investment dollars.

For investors

For those looking to diversify their investment portfolios, an agent can help analyze potential rates of return on different rental opportunities. They will also be able to advise you about what it will take to manage your rental yourself or whether you should have a management company run it day-to-day and how much that will cost. Real estate is a great long-term investment that could provide a monthly income stream when you retire (or sooner). As Mark Twain once said, “Buy land; they’re not making it anymore.” When choosing a realtor, it is important to find someone you trust who is skilled in negotiation and will work well with you in your journey to purchase a property. You’ll need their expertise and experience if issues arise during the transaction. For buyers, an agent that knows the area well is also key. An agent from Blacksburg in southern Virginia, for example, is not going to know about the different Fauquier County neighborhoods and those that will be best suited for you, but a Fauquier County realtor certainly will. I’m affiliated with the Long &

Foster’s office in Warrenton. As a Long & Foster agent, I have the powerful benefit of being with the only company in the Mid-Atlantic capable and prepared to deliver all-inclusive services for my clients’ home buying, selling and investing needs. Long & Foster also offers Curbio, a renovation company that can make repairs and updates to your home before it goes on the market, which you won’t have to pay for until closing. Talk about convenience! I have a close working relationship with our affiliates, and that translates into an exceptional experience for clients for all these services.

Please reach out to me if you have any real estate related questions. For sellers downsizing before moving, I have put together some great resources to make the process easier and less stressful. I also have information about 55-plus communities in the area for buyers considering this lifestyle. For those thinking of purchasing an investment property, I have 18 years of experience as a landlord and self-manage my properties. I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned so that you are not starting from scratch. I look forward to hearing from you!

Charles L. Paul

Carl Stanley “Sadie” Brooks Sr.

Charles L. Paul went to be with his Heavenly Father on Thursday, August 3, 2023. A very beloved father, grandpop, cousin, uncle, and friend to everyone he met. He was the quintessential gentleman who believed in kindness, courtesy, and genuineness. Married in 1957 to his sweetheart, Jessie Lee, they were blessed with two children and their families: Linda and Brett Martin and their son Nicholas of Warrenton, Virginia; and Andrew and Sarah Paul and their daughters Abigail and Elise of Middletown, Virginia. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren, and he loved spending time with them whenever possible. He considered himself blessed with his large extended family of cousins, nieces, and nephews that he treasured more than words can express. A great lover of music and all animals, he always enjoyed time spent listening to concerts or playing with the grand-dogs, cats, kittens, chickens, ducks, and occasionally the miniature goats. Prior to moving to Warrenton over 12 years ago, he faithfully served for thirty-nine years on the faculty of Chowan University. Mr. Paul began his teaching career at Chowan in 1963, where he taught courses on history and geography. Upon his retirement in 2002, the Chowan Board of Trustees awarded him the title of Professor Emeritus. Born in 1930, in Carteret County, North Carolina, Mr. Paul grew up in a nurturing and close-knit family, and in the place he cherished intensely throughout his life. After serving in the Marine Corps, he enrolled at Chowan, receiving an A.A. degree in 1955 as Class Valedictorian and honored with the Citizenship Award. He then attended Wake Forest College, Carson-Newman College, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, earning a B.D. in historical theology and church history from Southeastern in 1961. In addition, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and East Carolina University, earning an M.A. in history from East Carolina in 1965. During his student days at Chowan, Mr. Paul knew he wanted to devote his life to ministry, but not as a pastor of a church. He dreamed of using his calling and his talents to help young people get an education and guide them in discovering their life's calling. He understood that students needed a place to belong, where people cared about them, and he had this gift of making students feel a part of their school community. His son, Andrew, continues this legacy of devotion to teaching his own students today, something which made Mr. Paul so extraordinarily proud. An ordained minister, Mr. Paul served as a guest minister in more than 100 churches in eastern North Carolina and southeaster Virginia. He was a longtime member of Murfreesboro Baptist Church where he served as a deacon and Sunday school teacher. In addition to his church roles, Mr. Paul served for a number of years on the boards of the Chowan Area Development Association and Murfreesboro Historical Association. A memorial service will be held in North Carolina at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Chowan Chapel Project at Chowan University in Murfreesboro NC. Chowan was his place..., a setting where he provided a foundation for the lives of young people, teaching them the importance of being good and kind, of grace, of faith, and reminding them "God is with you." Online condolences may be expressed at moserfuneralhome.com.

Carl Stanley “Sadie” Brooks Sr., 84, departed this life to join our Lord on Sunday, July 30, 2023 at Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal, VA.

He was born May 8, 1939 in Warren County to the late Jessie Brooks.

Carl was a member of Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill, VA. He was a vital member of the Music Ministry by playing the keyboard and singing with the church’s music groups. He was blessed with his self-taught talents, which he used to empower and engage others in God’s ministry of music. Throughout the years, his work service included Warren Memorial Hospital, Giant, UPS, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and Warren County Public Schools as a bus driver and mail carrier. Through each these professions, he loved meeting and greeting everyone with his infectious smiles and words of wisdom intertwined with jokes.

Rebecca Lyon Scarborough

Ann Hackett Noone

Rebecca Hannah Lyon Scarborough, the daughter of Keith Scarborough and step-daughter of Janice Scarborough, of Woodbridge, died on July 2nd at Mass General Hospital in Boston. She died after several years of serious complications from a fragile heart. Rebecca is also survived by her mother, Catherine Lyon and step-father, Stu Kantor of Camden, Maine; her brother Matthew and sister-in-law Caroline and her beloved nephew Sebastian of Fairfax County; as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins. Rebecca graduated from Hayfield Secondary School in Fairfax County. She earned an undergraduate degree in theater and psychology from Muhlenberg College and an MSW from George Mason University. She worked for several years as a teacher’s aide and social worker. In addition to politics, Rebecca was an active member of the local chapter of SURJ, Standing Up for Racial Justice. When hundreds of white nationalists and white supremacists converged on Charlottesville in 2017, Rebecca joined others in counter-protesting their message of hate. When the former president announced a travel ban to the U.S. that targeted Muslims, Rebecca joined others at Dulles International Airport, to protest and welcome international travelers. Due to health concerns, Rebecca spent the last several years in Camden, Maine. She was very active with the local SURJ chapter as well as the Maine People’s Alliance and other groups. Just a few weeks before her death, Rebecca testified before members of the Maine Legislature in support of paid family and medical leave. A program was passed and signed by the Governor last month. She was not just about politics. Rebecca loved musical theater, movies, animals and her family and friends. She took part in several local productions of the Prince William Little Theater. Rebecca was a board member of Adas Yoshuron Synagogue in Rockland, Maine. A memorial service for Rebecca was held at the synagogue on August 9th. May her memory be a blessing.

Ann Hackett Noone (87), retired elementary school librarian, died at home on August 2, 2023, in Warrenton, Virginia. Mrs. Noone was born and educated in New Jersey where she received her A.B. degree in English from the College of Saint Elizabeth. After graduation, she worked for the U.S. Immigration Service at Idlewild (now Kennedy) Airport where she met her husband, Michael Noone, and developed her life-long love of travel.
