Ongoing drought has leaves changing early

By Hunter Savery

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Fauquier County has received 5.1 fewer inches of rain than in a typical year. In Prince William, even more rain is missing. The county is 7.6 inches below average by this time of year.

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Right before Labor Day, as the new school year began and pumpkin spice lattes returned to coffee shops across northern Virginia, the leaves on many trees began to shift hues to orange, yellow and brown. Yet, fall doesn’t start until Sept. 23, and temperatures this week will reach nearly 100 degrees.

What’s going on?

Experts say the early color changes are the result of trees attempting to conserve energy amid a devastating drought. Trees in Northern Virginia are facing high levels of stress from water scarcity, rising temperatures, invasive species and land development.

“This year’s drought has been the worst I have ever seen here within the Bull Run Mountains, and it is definitely causing trees—especially poplar—to brown and drop their leaves early this year,” said Joe Valleri, manager of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation’s Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve.

Tough year for trees

Peak foliage isn’t expected until mid-October, but this tree on the James Madison Highway in Gainesville is already showing red and orange leaves.

“In fact, some of the native herbaceous ground cover along our gravel back roads are so dry it looks like it was sprayed with a killing agent like ‘Round Up.’”

Last week, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality issued drought watch advisories for both Fauquier and Prince William counties.

According to the National Oceanic and

The challenges facing local trees are bigger than a single dry season, according to Karen Tavakoli, grower and horticulturist at Owl Run Nursery in Catlett.

“We actually went through a drought in the spring as well, where the region received less than 5/8 of an inch of rain,” Tavakoli said. “That doesn’t set trees up for success, and that has made it all the more difficult in the summer.”

According to Tavakoli, trees need sustained and consistent rain to be able to recover from drought conditions. The torrential rains that came with summer thunderstorms often ran off the drought-hardened soil, hardly reaching the parched tree roots.

First-ever teacher contract talks off to a rough start

By Jill Palermo and Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writers

This Labor Day marks the first time that Prince William County’s largest employer — its public school division — is in the midst of negotiating a labor contract with the Prince William Education Association, a union representing the division’s more than 11,000 teachers and staff.

But leaders of the union’s negotiating team say the talks are not going well, charging the school division’s negotiating team is showing bad faith by either not offering feedback on its proposals or denying them outright. Both sides are accusing each other of bad behavior and slow progress at the bargaining table.

And while the negotiations have yet to dig into issues of pay and benefits, the school division is already criticizing as “exorbitant” the union’s request for 17% raises for teachers and staff next year — an amount that would match the salary hikes the Prince William Board of County Supervisors provided local

“We have to do better. We are losing more education professionals than are coming in,” said Katie Jefferson, a school division speech therapist and a member of the teacher’s union negotiating team. “That’s very scary. If we continue down the same path, we won’t get any better. And I feel that if management doesn’t start working with us, this is not going to be a good situation either.”

Hoping voters will put aside partisan politics during local elections, three Republican newcomers — all women — are trying to flip supervisors’ seats in three of eastern Prince William County’s most Democratic-leaning districts.

Jeannie LaCroix, of Belmont Bay, Verndell Robinson, of Triangle, and Karla Justice, of Woodbridge, are looking to be the next county supervisors in the Woodbridge, Potomac and Occoquan districts, respectively.

In this year’s election, Republicans have candidates running seven of the eight races for Prince

William County supervisor seats.

Of the seven, five of the GOP candidates are women, including incumbent Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, who is running for county board chair, and Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, who is seeking re-election.

While the three GOP newcomers have slightly different platform priorities, all three say they are strongly opposed to the county’s 4% meals tax, are concerned about rising crime and are wary about what they call “irresponsible” over-development, including that of data centers placed too close to residential areas.

far include whether the bargaining sessions should be open for observation to the school board, the school division staff and the community — a step they say is important to provide transparency.

The school division bargaining team has denied that request. It has also refused to allow the PWEA to attend division-wide staff functions or be provided with basic information about the educators and staff they represent, like school rosters with staff names and work locations.

“These are very traditional subjects that are in contracts,” Beallor said. “The fact that (the two sides) are even stuck on that is disconcerting.”

Now the union is reaching out to the press and the community, expressing concerns that the two sides may be running out of time before making progress on key issues, such as pay and benefits. Only three more meetings are scheduled before Oct. 1, the date the school board’s collective bargaining resolution set for reaching a tentative contract agreement or declaring an impasse and requesting a mediator.

The date is based on the school board’s schedule for preparing for next year’s budget, which begins in December.

School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef, D-At Large, says PWEA should have presented its requests sooner, saying in a statement to the Prince William Times that union leaders: “would not be frustrated had they delivered their asks in the spring, rather than procrastinate till Aug. 15.”

The school division also called out the union for refusing to hold negotiation sessions over the summer unless staff members on the negotiating team were paid.

Hanson said the union’s negotiating team was willing to meet over the summer but only on nights and weekends to avoid taking time away from summer jobs.

“Most of our educators rely on additional compensation outside of their jobs,” Hansford said. “If we were going to negotiate (during the day), we did say we would need to be

Part of the difficulty, the PWEA members say, is that the process is new and untested for both sides.

This is the first time Prince William County teachers and staff have engaged in contract negotiations since the Virginia General Assembly passed a law in 2020 that rescind-

‘Deck is stacked in favor of management’

VA

Negotiations began last May but took a recess over the summer. Each side is now accusing the other of bad decorum. PWEA President Maggie Hansford called out the school division’s head negotiator, contract attorney Eric Paltell, for “using a condescending tone, making snide remarks, raising (his) voice and banging or tapping on the table” in a letter she wrote to the school division negotiating team last week.

“All of these behaviors are demonstrations of bargaining in bad faith,” the letter reads.

In response, the school division blamed the union for taking too long to agree to negotiating ground rules and said the talks “had to be suspended due to the poor decorum of the PWEA representatives,” according to an emailed statement from school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta.

a year for the pieces to fall into place. The PWEA had to first force the Prince William County School Board to vote to approve or deny staff the right to collectively bargain. Then the union had to hold a staff election ­— following a process set up by the school board — to become the exclusive bargaining representative.

In Prince William, Democrats have a 7-1 majority on the school board, and they voted to approve collective bargaining in June 2022.

But the union has been critical of the school board for making the process more challenging by requiring, for example, that at least 50% of the school division staff members voted in its election to choose a bargaining representative.

The 2020 state legislation gave considerable power to school boards and boards of supervisors to call the shots for collective bargaining. The elected boards get to decide whether to allow collective bargaining and then can control the process by drawing up the rules in their collective bargaining resolutions or ordinances. Also, public employees are forbidden from striking if an agreement can’t be reached.

“Absolutely the deck is stacked in favor of management across the board,” said Brian Beallor, a senior

in the current budget.

“We applaud that, and we also believe educators are owed a livable wage as well and believe our pay needs to be aligned with our experience and our ability to live where we work,” Hansford said.

Gulotta said the school division was still working to figure out how much that proposed raise would cost, but the school division has made clear they think it is too costly.

“It is clear on their face that the exorbitant demands would impose a substantially increased burden on the Prince William County taxpayer or significant cuts to instructional programs for students,” she said, “neither of which PWCS is willing to do.”

Lateef said teachers and staff have received 30% raises over the last six years since he has been in office, ticking off annual increases that have ranged from a low of 2.4% in 2020, during budget-tightening at the start of the pandemic, to 7% in 2022. School division staff received average raises of 5% in the most recent budget.

“My priority has been to increase our salaries to be competitive with neighboring, much wealthier districts,” he said.

In its statement, the school division said teachers, except those at the very highest step, received raises ranging from 12% to 21%, while “classified” employees such as bus drivers received raises of 15% to 16% over the past two years.

Prince William County’s starting salary for teachers with a bachelor’s degree is $54,761, while a starting Prince William County police officer now makes $62,000.

Prince William County schools offer the third-highest starting salary in Northern Virginia, behind Loudoun County and Falls Church, which both offer more than $55,000, according to the most recent report by the Washington Area Boards of Education.

Lateef said the school division does not base its pay scales on “other sectors of society but rather on what we can afford to pay.”

Only 1 candidate requests, receives Moms for Liberty nod

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

Several Republican candidates for county elected posts regularly attend local Moms for Liberty meetings, including Carrie Rist, who is vying for at-large chair of the Prince William County School Board.

But only one candidate, Mario Beckles, the Republican-endorsed hopeful for the Potomac District School Board seat, has so far received the conservative group’s endorsement. That’s because Beckles is the only local candidate who asked for it, according to Merianne Jensen, the chair and founder of the Prince William Moms for Liberty chapter.

“Mario Beckles was the only school board candidate who sought our endorsement,” Jensen said. “After analyzing his policies, we believe he is the best candidate running in the Potomac District for our students and schools.”

Beckles, 58, of Montclair, is a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and the father of five adult daughters.

If elected, Beckles says he’ll focus on accountability, raising academic and behavioral expectations for all students and advocating for more family involvement in education.

When he received the endorsement, Beckles said he was “very pleased, very humbled.” He also said accepting Moms for Liberty’s endorsement took “courage.”

“I’m a person of character. When I first heard about your organization last winter, I said, ‘Well, they are right on target with what I am running for office for,’” Beckles told the group. “I’m not the type of person that when the seas get rough, and we get a little bashing, I’m going to abandon the ship. Full steam ahead!”

In June, Moms for Liberty was classified as an anti-government extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights watchdog group. But Jensen rejects that label.

“People say, ‘Oh, they are a hate group.’ They call us the ‘minivan mafia’ and ‘Moms for Bigotry.’ We have heard it all,” Jensen said at the meeting. “But we are just parents

who want what’s best for our children.”

“We have to take the arrows because we know what’s best for our children,” she added. “I hate politics.

Stop saying it’s about politics. This is about our children.”

Moms for Liberty got its start during the pandemic, when its members organized against school shutdowns and mask mandates. The group says its goal is to support parents’ rights in public education and has sparked debates with its efforts to restrict students’ access to library books and instructional materials its members deem inappropriate.

Rist is the only school board candidate who is a member of the chapter, Jensen said. Even so, Rist did not seek the chapter’s endorsement.

“Our local chapter only endorses candidates if they reach out and proactively seek their endorsement.

There’s no animus; we just didn’t do that,” Rist said in an email.

“I admire and support so many of the moms involved with the PWC M4L chapter,” Rist wrote. “Some are longtime friends of mine, from before the organization was started.”

Beckles asked Moms for Liberty members to help him canvass and make campaign phone calls.

“My district is a little bit different than yours. I’ve got this one precinct that has a history of going 75% Democrat to 25% Republican,” Beckles said, referring to the Swans Creek precinct in Dumfries.

Beckles said his goal is to win 51% of the votes cast in that precinct, and to do so he has to be careful with his messaging.

“It is not helpful for me in some of my Potomac precincts … to come out with a big ‘Hey, I’m a big Republican running here.’ … That is not helpful for what I am trying to do,” Beckles said.

Beckles is challenging two-term incumbent Justin Wilk, who has the Democratic endorsement. Wilk, 39, is the father of two Prince William County students and is a former Prince William County teacher who has served on the school board since 2016.

Staff Reports A construction worker suffered life-threatening injuries Tuesday afternoon when a large backhoe struck and rolled over an occupied port-apotty at a work site on Richmond Highway, according to Prince William County police.

Police responded at 2:04 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5 to the 13900 block of Richmond Highway to find that a backhoe working on a road con-

struction site struck the outdoor bathroom, which was occupied by a male construction worker at the time, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr.

The injured man was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. It’s not clear who the construction officer worked for or what caused the backhoe to strike the port-a-potty.

The accident remains under investigation, Carr said.

3 GOP newcomers — all women — vie for eastern Prince William supervisor seats GOP CANDIDATES, from page 1

Jeannie LaCroix, Woodbridge

LaCroix, 61, a real estate agent for Long and Foster Real Estate, is running for supervisor to bring residents’ voices to the forefront.

“Many of the residents and local businesses feel as though their voices have been lost,” LaCroix said. “I’m running because I intend to bring their voices back.”

LaCroix, is challenging incumbent Woodbridge Supervisor Margaret Angela Franklin, 37, a Democrat who is vying for her second term.

Franklin also serves as the vice chair of the board.

Democrats have held the Woodbridge seat since at least 1987. LaCroix said that while she is running as a Republican and is fiscally conservative, she believes “local politics should not be partisan.”

“I think that you need to look at all the candidates and decide if you think they can do a good job for the community in the position they’re running for,” LaCroix said.

LaCroix said a major new development proposed for Belmont Bay, a mixed-use community of about 1,100 homes, townhomes and condominiums on the banks of the Potomac River, “woke her up” to the plight of residents who feel their concerns are not being heard by the county board. In the summer of 2021, Belmont Bay’s developer, Caruthers Companies, proposed building another 1,400 homes, as well as a commercial “marina district” on the waterfront.

Some Belmont Bay residents were concerned about the proposal bringing too many homes and creating traffic congestion and noise. The application for the development remains “under review,” according to the county’s development processing schedule website.

LaCroix said she is opposed to the project and notes the county planning commission also objected to much of the proposal. LaCroix said she believes the residents should be involved in the decision-making when a developer seeks to “change a community as drastically as the submitted plan.”

“My campaign is not just about Belmont Bay; it is about the entire district, businesses and residents being ignored,” she said.

If elected, LaCroix said she will support growth in areas that have the proper infrastructure and will consider how the surrounding community would benefit from a proposed project.

“There always should be a bridge of communication for developers and citizens to work together toward a mutual benefit for the community,” LaCroix said.

LaCroix opposes the county’s 4% meals tax on prepared foods and beverages, which went into effect in July 2022. LaCroix said the tax hurts local restaurant owners and workers.

“Most of the workers within the restaurants are residents of Prince William County with families,” LaCroix said. “I believe it is important for families to have food on the table and a roof over their heads than a surplus in the county budget.”

Other priorities for LaCroix include supporting local law enforcement to reduce crime and working with the department of public works to restore

Police: Dumfries man, 43, fatally shot by his roommate in a parked car Alleged shooter turns himself in to police

An argument between two roommates ended in gunfire near a Dumfries gas station Saturday afternoon, leading to a 43-year-old man’s death and the shooter’s arrest.

Police responded at 1:41 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 2, to the 12700 block of Richmond Highway, near the Valero gas station at the intersection at Va. 234, in response to a shooting. They arrived to find that the victim, identified as Derrick Lanell Jordan, 43, had been shot multiple times while sitting in the driver’s seat of a parked car, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman.

Jordan was transported to an area hospital, where he later died of his injuries, Perok said in a news release.

The alleged shooter, identified as

Brandon Harry Edwards, 34, of 3700 block of Port Hope Point, in Dumfries, fled from the scene but later contacted the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. and turned himself in, the release said.

Police determined Jordan was allegedly shot by Edwards, who was his roommate. The two lived in the Port-of-Dumfries subdivision off Graham Park Road in Dumfries, the release said.

Edwards has been charged with murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with the incident and remained in custody in Washington, D.C. as of Sunday morning, the release said.

The fatal shooting is the 17th homicide to happen in Prince William County since Jan. 1, Perok said.

Former teacher faces felony charges for sending sexually explicit texts to students

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

A former Potomac Middle School math teacher, who most recently taught in Stafford County, is facing six felony charges of using a computer to solicit inappropriate information and pictures from minors, according to police.

Prince William County police began an investigation on July 27 into allegations that the teacher, identified as Jonathan Robert Burns, allegedly sent “inappropriate communications” via text to two juveniles who were under the age of 18 at the time of the offenses.

Both victims knew Burns as their former teacher and had advanced to other schools at the time the communications occurred, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County police spokesman.

During the text conversations, the teacher allegedly sent the victims inappropriate and sexually explicit messages and solicited sexual acts.

During a conversation with one of the victims, a video chat occurred where the teacher allegedly exposed himself, Perok said in a news release.

The victims reported no physical contact with the teacher, the release said.

Detectives obtained arrest warrants for Burns, 36, of the 1400 block of Cranes Bill Way in Woodbridge.

Burns was arrested in Stafford County on Thursday, Aug. 31 and charged with one count of “using a communication system to facilitate certain offenses involving children,” a Class 6 felony, according to Perok

and court records.

Prince William County police have since obtained warrants to charge Burns with five other counts of the same offense, but he has not yet been arrested on those counts.

Burns is making preparations to turn himself in to be charged on those counts, Perok said Saturday, Sept. 2.

Burns had taught at Potomac Middle School, located in the Dumfries area of eastern Prince William County, since 2018 but was last in the school building in March 2023.

Burns resigned in June 2023, according to Meghan Silas, a school division spokeswoman.

Burns had since been hired by A.G. Wright Middle School in Stafford County. In a statement to Fox 5 News reporter Tisha Lewis, Stafford County schools said it immediately removed Burns from the school and ended his employment when they became aware of the allegations.

Burns’ known criminal communications with the students did not begin until this past July, Perok said in a Saturday, Sept. 2 interview.

Potomac Middle School Principal Rachel Preston sent a letter home to Potomac Middle School parents on Tuesday, Aug. 29, saying the school was aware Burns had recently been arrested in Stafford County.

The letter offered counseling to students who needed support in the wake of the news and urged parents to reach out to Prince William County police with information specific to their investigation.

Ongoing drought has leaves changing early DROUGHT, from page 1

A prematurely yellowing common hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) tree in Fauquier County’s Sky Meadows State Park.

“There will be a lot of failure through the winter if there isn’t a wet fall,” Tavakoli told the Fauquier Times. “We need it to cool off; we need rain; and we need it to be consistent rain.”

An ecosystem under stress

Leaves changing color and falling early are only the most visible part of a system in trouble. Trees lose their leaves under conditions of significant stress because they cannot afford to expend the energy to maintain the leaves. At the same time, photosynthesis, the process by which trees feed themselves, is virtually impossible without leaves.

Drought stressed trees are more susceptible to disease and insects like the invasive emerald ash borer and spotted lanternfly.

Losing only one species of tree can devastate an ecosystem. The oak tree alone supports more than 600 species of insects, according to Tavakoli.

Vallari and Tavakoli agreed that this year’s drought and record high temperatures are symptoms of a changing climate.

“I have been deeply saddened this year, witnessing our yearly natural patterns, as it has been so undeniably negatively impacted by these atypical weather patterns we have been having,” Vallari said.

“From spotted salamander migrations and their breeding being interrupted, to bone dry stream beds, to less predictable timber rattlesnake den monitoring expectations, to an uncharacteristically early leaf drop, this has been a hard year for our native ecosystem and the organisms it supports.”

“Even though these changes are expected to get worse with time, I do hope this year is still an early outlier of what is to come,” he added.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/HUNTER SAVERY

Trees are both victims of climate change and play a key role in preventing its worst effects.

Trees dissipate heat—keeping temperatures on the ground lower—and trap carbon in their roots.

“There is no machine, nothing manmade that can draw down carbon from the atmosphere like trees,” Tavakoli said.

What can be done?

Experts agree that planting native species that are hardy and support the local ecosystem is a positive step everyone can take to prevent further environmental degradation.

“Everybody has the opportunity to help with our ecosystem health by planting natives, whether that’s on a little balcony, or (if) you have a bigger property with room to plant native trees or letting some of your grass turn into a ‘rewilded’ meadow,” said Linnea Stewart, tree planting and stewardship coordinator for the Piedmont Envi®

ronmental Council.

Tavakoli recommends planting oak trees, which she called a “lynch pin” for the local environment. Oaks have long lifespans, which means they will have more time to grow and remove carbon from the atmosphere. Oaks support hundreds of insect species as well as Virginia’s state bird the Northern Cardinal.

“By planting natives, we can increase habitat and food supplies for different species groups. It can make a huge difference,” Stewart said.

While increasing the number of native plants will not immediately solve a drought, it will make the local ecosystem more sustainable and resilient going forward.

The Plant Virginia Natives Initiative provides free information about native plant species in each region of Virginia at plantvirginianatives.org.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | September 7, 2023

GUEST OPINION

County officials, heed the National Park Service warnings on the PW Digital Gateway National Park Service superintendents generally avoid injecting themselves into local affairs. So, when they speak out, you know it’s a big deal.

We paid close attention when we learned that the new superintendent of the Manassas National Battlefield Park, Kristopher Butcher, recently wrote to Prince William County officials expressing his grave concerns that the vast spread of data centers projected for the Prince William Digital Gateway would mar the park and lead to the “wholesale destruction” of nearby historic landscapes.

Butcher is calling for additional research, analysis and proactive mitigation efforts before any of the pending rezoning applications are approved to ensure the park and other historic sites are protected from impacts caused by 28 to 34 data centers planned for the proposed 2,133-acre PW Digital Gateway. Votes on these applications are scheduled for Nov. 21 during a lame-duck session of the county board.

Virginia already has one of the largest concentrations of data centers in the world, with more than 70% of the world’s internet traffic flowing through Northern Virginia. These massive, warehouse-sized facilities are financed by some of the largest corporations on earth, deep-pocketed operators for whom price is no concern. Every day, each of these centers consume as much water and energy as a small town.

And it’s not just an issue for Manassas National Battlefield Park. Data centers are proposed to be built adjacent to or near other significant Civil War battlefields in Virginia, including the Wilderness, Brandy Station, Glendale and North Anna. This explosion of data centers is one of the largest and most widespread episodes of land development this area has ever seen and represents

David Duncan

Scott Neese

one of the gravest threats to the preservation of historic landscapes in the Old Dominion.

The rapacious demand for larger digital facilities has prompted would-be developers associated with the PW Digital Gateway to design most of the centers at heights of 70 or 93 feet.

The tallest would tower higher than eight-story buildings, becoming hideous backdrops for this picturesque and bucolic viewshed.

Data centers also degrade the quality of life for local residents. Homeowners in the Great Oak subdivision just west of Manassas have had their lives disrupted by the constant buzzing and humming of the industrial air conditioners needed to cool data center servers. Data centers require sufficient backup generators to power a small town, creating untold noise and air pollution. This is the reality that lies ahead for homeowners adjacent to the PW Digital Gateway.

Noise is not the only problem. The planned data center corridor will transform 2,133 acres of rural landscape into a massive, unattractive, faceless industrial zone sandwiched between Manassas National Battlefield Park and another popular outdoor destination, Conway Robinson State Forest. The data centers will disrupt wildlife in this once idyllic corridor and place unplanned-for demands on the Occoquan Reservoir, which supplies drinking water for about

800,000 Northern Virginia residents. They will also generate waves of stormwater runoff due to hundreds of acres of new impermeable surfaces.

We also share Superintendent Butcher’s alarm regarding some of the gateway’s southernmost data centers, which are projected to be built directly adjacent to the National Park. They would not only impact the historic battlefield and its viewshed but could also obliterate the graves of soldiers who camped in this area and died in a measles outbreak during the fall and winter of 1862. We fully support the superintendent’s request that ground-penetrating radar and other research be conducted before any rezoning is approved to ensure that no soldiers’ graves are destroyed during construction.

Further, the northern segment of the gateway also includes a historic African American settlement and school that Butcher describes as “a rare and vanishing resource.” As a result of this and other impacts, we support Butcher’s call for a full historic study of the area as well as a cultural landscape report.

Those of us who work in historic preservation have demonstrated time and time again that with careful planning and cooperation, growth can be accommodated, and our history can be preserved. We urge the board to heed the warnings of Superintendent Butcher and countless others who have warned that the Pageland Lane corridor is no place for a cluster of data centers: Reject rezoning this location and find an alternative site.

David Duncan is president of the American Battlefield Trust. Scott Neese is president of the Manassas Battlefield Trust. Both nonprofits are dedicated to battlefield preservation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Far from a tax ‘gusher,’ the Prince William Digital Gateway is not even a trickle By failing to do a detailed financial analysis of the Prince William Digital Gateway, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors is creating a false narrative of the cost of the project and the revenue that will be generated.

Originally, the PWDG touted estimated tax revenue of $700 million per year. In February 2022, the Prince William County finance office performed a simplistic analysis and estimated the revenue to be more in the $400 million range.

Since then, Board Chair Ann Wheeler has continuously used the promise of $400 million in tax revenue for Prince William County to ram through the ill-conceived PWDG. At the Prince William County Planning Commission hearing on

Sept. 14, 2022, and again at the Nov. 1, 2022, board of supervisors’ public hearing on the PWDG comprehensive plan amendment, the supervisors openly admitted that detailed financial analysis had not been performed.

Based on an extensive and detailed analysis conducted by John Lyver, Ph.D., a retired NASA scientist, many costs were not considered in the county’s financial analysis: He has concluded that the project will not see positive revenue for years!

If you are waiting for money for schools, lower property taxes, raises for teachers, don’t hold your breath!

Concerned about volunteers at the Prince William County Fair When I went to the Prince William County Fair to pick up my rewards for my fair entries. The volunteer staff was upset about the way volunteers had been treated.

One 60-something volunteer I spoke to had been volunteering “since high school.”

The volunteers at the Prince William County Fair are just that, “volunteers.” They are not paid and only given a one-day pass. These volunteers give up weeks during their hot summers to help to support their community.

I went to the table to get my awards and was directed to the fair office at the top of the hill for the money I was awarded. Apparently, the office no longer trusted them to handle the money. The volunteer was visibly hurt and insulted. I spoke

to multiple volunteers there and the consensus was that of despair.

I went to the fair office with my paperwork to get the $13. I was handed $15 cash. I’m confused; who’s not trusted with the money?

I was personally shaken a couple years ago when I had heard the fair was sold and would be shut down.

Later, I heard that the new owners would keep the fair open, relieved for their sense of community loyalty.

I hope the new owners can maintain that sense of community and restore the faith the volunteers have in their fair. They are our true treasure. The Prince William County Fair is approaching its 75th anniversary next year.

‘Every hole is interesting, every hole is different’ New wooded disc golf course opens near Quantico

By Jack Parry

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

The sun is bearing down on the parking lot at Forest Greens Golf Club in Triangle at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday in mid-August as Mike Sullivan steps out of his car ready to seize the day. People in polo shirts and khakis make their way to the green, and golf carts cruise around between holes. But Sullivan walks the opposite direction, sporting a T-shirt and a rectangular shaped backpack as he enters the woods at the far end of the lot.

After trekking through countless dead leaves and over downed logs, he eventually reaches a small patch of repurposed field hockey turf and sets down his bag. Sullivan unzips his pack, picks a small disc from his stash, warms up his arm and launches it through a gauntlet of trees.

The disc sails through the first hole at the Forest Valley Disc Golf course, a new course that opened in June thanks to a partnership between the Prince William County Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism and the NOVA Disc Golf Association, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the game across Northern Virginia.

Forest Valley Disc Golf Course What: A wooded, 18-hole disc golf course attached to Prince William County’s Forest Greens Golf Course.

Where: 4500 Poa Annua Lane, Triangle (near Marine Corps Base Quantico) When: Disc golf course is open whenever the regular golf course is open, generally from 7 a.m. to about 8 p.m. daily. Check in with the main desk at the regular golf course to pay and play. No need to reserve a tee time for disc golf.

Cost: $10 for 18 holes or $20 to play all day.

Tips: No outside alcohol.

Violators risk being banned from the property. Bug repellent is recommended. Apply permethrin to clothes and disc golf bags to repel ticks and use picaridin or DEET on skin until September.

Sullivan, who is treasurer and a founding member of the NOVA Disc Golf Association, is part of a burgeoning community of disc golf players in the county and one of the volunteers who helped make the course a reality.

The course is the second to be built in Prince William County. The first is in Lake Ridge. But before that, the NOVA Disc Golf Association had many members who lived in Prince William County had no place to play close to home. Players had to travel to places like Arlington and Fairfax, Sullivan said.

“This (course) grew out of our efforts to get any disc golf courses in Prince William because there were no public disc golf courses,” Sullivan said.

It’s clear the popularity of disc golf is growing. The NOVA Disc Golf Association Facebook group has more than 4,000 members.

Another reason Forest Valley was built was to give players a more challenging course in the county. While the Lake Ridge course is fairly open, the new course is filled with obstacles, which Sullivan said makes a huge difference for players.

“The best situations, I’ll say, are when a community has access to both of those broad styles of play. People are able to refine their games and find different ways to enjoy the discs that they have,” he said.

Course designer John Biscoe took this into account when designing the Forest Valley course, with his goal being to make it both fun and difficult.

“Particular goals at Forest (Valley) were to provide a degree of challenge generally lacking on NOVA courses across a wide spectrum of participants,” Biscoe said.

The idea for the course in Triangle came from Seth Hendler-Voss, director of the county’s department of parks, recreation and tourism. In late 2019, he noticed the success of events held at the Signal Hill Park and Lake Ridge courses. Hendler-Voss helped redesign the Richmond Hill course in Asheville and told Sullivan about a potential spot for a course “He said, ‘This is golf courseowned land, so the county owns it,’” Sullivan recalled. “It’s 70 acres; some of it’s probably usable, some of it’s probably not, but get out there

The pandemic paused the construction of the course until 2022.

That’s when Sullivan and others began the process of turning the wooded area into a course.

“We had a lot of chainsaw work to do; we had a lot of clearing work to do,” he said.

Biscoe joined on to design the course in 2020 and finished the process in late 2022. He said he experienced some challenges along the way, especially with the terrain.

“As the project progressed, it also became apparent that it was quite possible to engage too much elevation change out there due to the nature of the land; so, some tweaking occurred to reduce that a bit,” he said.

According to Biscoe, the county originally budgeted $75,000 for the project, and in June, the 18-hole course was completed and introduced to the public.

Although Forrest Valley has only been in existence for a few months, it has already received plenty of feedback from all types of members of the disc golf community.

Professional disc golf players have already given the course rave reviews, with local Virginia players already enjoying throwing amongst the trees.

“It’s gonna be a destination course,” Sullivan said.

Biscoe agreed that the course had been very well received in general but mentioned he’s received some feedback about it being too difficult, which he argued was kind of his point while designing it.

“This course is complex and doesn’t tend to reveal all of itself in one trip,” he said.

Being a player on the course himself, Sullivan said he believes it is the best wooded course in the Mid-Atlantic region, touting the incredible design.

“There are no filler holes; every hole is interesting; every hole is different,” he said.

Biscoe believes that setting goals like this tends to be counter-productive and that it should be up to those who hit the course to judge for themselves.

“That stuff is for the players to judge after the fact,” Biscoe said.

In his second year as head coach since replacing Reggie Scott, Wells is rebuilding after OP went 2-9 in

2022 and 2-8 in 2021. “Once they become fully knowledgeable, then the game will kind of slow down for them, make it a little easier for them,” said the 34-year-old.

Wells says OP’s wide receivers,

who have had to learn the system very quickly, have shined, including senior Julius Palza. “The simple fact that they’re performing, they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing on the fly,” the coach said.

Running back Matthew Brown has been the starter in the backfield and senior quarterback Adrian Cabrera had over 100 yards rushing against Hylton. “I think had things gone a little bit differently, he may have had 200 yards rushing,” Wells said.

Defensively, cornerback Latevius Cunnigham hasn’t allowed a catch through two games and Rutilio Argueta-Alvarez has been the best player on the defensive line so far.

Brown also has been playing outside linebacker well, making him a solid two way player.

In terms of goals for 2023, Wells is not looking at wins and losses.

He’s focusing more on production.

He’d like to see over 2,000 yards of offense and double digit takeaways.

To make inroads in the Cedar Run District, the team needs to build a winning culture, work every day to learn the system and gel together. In Wells’ mind, that means forming consistency on both sides of the ball.

“Just consistently being able to move the ball on offense, and being able to stop the ball on defense,” he said.

Johnson hopes community can unite to bring Osbourn back to glory days

By Jack Parry

Special to the Times

It’s a sobering experience to see your weaknesses exploited, but after an 0-2 start, Osbourn High first year football coach Mike Johnson is honest about where the team is currently at.

“We are who we thought we were,” Johnson said. “All of our kids need experience, I’ve got like three seniors.”

The Eagles have lost to South Lakes (Reston) 46-6 and Colgan 26-0.

Johnson said many of his players haven’t even played organized football before at any level, so the goal is learn, improve and grow. “Our expectation is to get these guys on the field and give them experience, some positive reps, and to teach them how to become a group,” he said.

Osbourn has 75 players. Johnson wants participation to grow to over 100 with junior varsity and freshman teams. “We’re trying to get the community together to work with us to get kids in, and to keep our kids from transferring out to other schools,” he said.

Osbourn is coming off a 4-6 season that included wins over Jackson-Reed (Washington, D.C.), Potomac, Freedom (South Riding) and Osbourn Park. They narrowly lost to Gainesville and John Champe.

The program has been great in the past, winning the Class 6 state title in 2006 under legendary star Brandon Hogan who went on to play at West Virginia, but dormancy has set in with no playoff

Osbourn, which won a Class 6 state title in 2006, hopes to build on last year’s 4-6 record. appearances since 2011.

For Johnson, keeping kids at Osbourn is important. “It’s my responsibility coming back as a former player, as a former graduate of Osbourn High School, to represent my community the right way,” he said.

Every day he sees people that he grew up with, and cherishes the small town values of life in

Manassas. He says handling an 0-2 team requires a lot of tough love.

“Nobody’s gonna feel sorry for you in this division, you gotta play. It’s big boy football, and you’ve got to play,” he said.

Despite the lopsided losses, Osbourn’s defense has impressed him the most. Johnson says that the team’s lack of depth requires a lot of players to go both ways, which takes a toll. “They get worn out and tired in the fourth quarter, and it shows at the end of the game and [on] the score[board],” Johnson said.

Junior cornerback Khamoni Morris has impressed the coach, along with Brian Chirino on the defensive line. Johnson gave high praise to junior middle linebacker and running back Corey Hill, “He’s a quiet leader, but he’ll probably lead us in tackles this year,” said Johnson of Hill.

Johnson said junior Edward Hogan has been solid at running back but the quarterback play has been a struggle. “We’ve had a lot of bad snaps, balls dropped by the quarterbacks, as well as our running backs, we’ve had a few fumbles in the back field,” he said.

It’s only year one at the helm for Johnson, who wasn’t handed the easiest rebuilding job. But just two games in at his alma mater, the new head coach is already laying out the framework for future success.

“My expectation is to just to mostly get them to a point where they can compete, that’s it,” Johnson said. “Without counting wins and losses, we want to get them to be in a position to compete at a varsity level.”

There are lots of benefits to raised garden beds.

They look tidy, warm up faster in the spring and drain better than traditional gardens.

COURTESY

How to enjoy your own raised garden beds

By Lisa Jordan

Lee Highway Nursery

Raised beds have become very popular for backyard gardens. They can be constructed of many types of materials but are mainly wood or stone. They definitely help to keep your yard looking neat and tidy, especially in small spaces.

Also, raised beds are great for areas that have been a problem area in your yard due to poor drainage. They warm up more quickly in the spring and drain better, allowing for a longer growing season and better growing conditions.

The right soil mix is imperative to getting the results you are looking for. The best mix for garden bed soil is two parts topsoil and one part compost. Do not use fill dirt. Soil mixtures are used for raised bed gardens because topsoil doesn’t have a lot of nutrients. That is why it is necessary to use compost for the nutrients.

The following are steps involved in making a raised garden bed:

• Install/construct your raised garden bed.

• Put landscape fabric at the bottom. This will keep you from losing the stone.

• Install #57 gravel on top of the fabric in a layer about four to six inches thick.

• Place another layer of fabric on top of the stone so you do not lose your soil in the stone area.

• Fill with topsoil but leave about six inches from the top.

• Use bags of garden soil on the top of the bed.

• Install your plants.

At Lee Highway Nursery, we have everything you will need to build a raised garden bed, from soil to plants.

We also offer free estimates to construct a raised garden bed for you. We have completed several stone raised bed containers this summer, and our customers are looking forward to years of gardening in them.

So, come to Lee Highway Nursery’s Garden Center and pick up the soil, compost, plants and fertilizers you need to get started. Speak to the staff and let us design the next addition to your yard.

P.S. We will also deliver everything to your house.

Richard L. Griffith, Jr.

Dwayne Alan Shupe

It is with broken hearts here on earth, but with heavenly celebration that we announce the passing of Richard L. Griffith, Jr., who walked into the loving arms of our Lord and Savior on August 31, 2023.

Rich lived a life that touched the hearts of all who knew him, leaving a legacy of love, compassion and joy. Born on May 13, 1961 in Winchester, Virginia to the late Betty Ann (Moffett) and Richard Griffith, Sr. He was raised in his hometown of Marshall, Virginia. Rich was a remarkable individual who embraced life with an unwavering spirit and such a heart for one of God's greatest gifts…that of music.

After graduating from Fauquier High School in 1979, he continued his education as a music major at Shenandoah Conservatory. He graduated with his Bachelor's Degree in Music Education in 1983, and then with his Master's Degree in Music Education and Performance in 1984. He later earned his certification in Education Administration and Supervision from Mary Washington University.

Rich, otherwise known as "Mr.G" to his students, started his 37 year career as a band director in Prince Edward County, Virginia. After one year away from home, he returned to Fauquier County where he taught for 36 years as a band director at Fauquier High School, Cedar Lee Middle School, Liberty High School and Taylor Middle School. He also served Fauquier County Public Schools as a Music Lead Teacher for the division. Rich found great joy in sharing his love of music with his students. For over 25 years, he taught at Mid-Atlantic band Camps and served as an adjudicator for Spectrum of Richmond across the mid-Atlantic region. Rich was a member of Virginia Music Educators Association, Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association, of which he served as district chair.

Rich also shared his love and talent of music with those within his community.

He was a member of the Percussive Arts Society and a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Music Fraternity. He was a member of the City of Fairfax Band for 15 years. Over the course of his career, he performed with various other groups including the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra, Prince William Symphony Orchestra, Fauquier Community Band and Culpeper Choral Society. He also was a previous member of the Warrenton Rotary Club. Rich was an accomplished percussionist who found such joy and pleasure in sharing this love with those around him.

Rich is a member of Park Valley Church in Haymarket, Virginia. He lived his life with grace, integrity, and a love of family that inspired those around him.

Rich's compassion knew no bounds. He dedicated his life to making a difference in the lives of others, always putting the needs of others before his own. Family held a special place in Rich's heart. As a devoted husband, father, and brother, he cherished the bond of love and created lasting memories. Rich taught us the importance of cherishing those we hold dear, reminding us to never take a single moment for granted.

Rich is survived by his wife of 32 years, Dee (Cropp) Griffith and his loving daughter Kaila Ann Griffith. He is also survived by his sister, Sandra O'Connell and husband Chuck of Warrenton. Another sister, Betsy Ann Griffith preceded him in death. He also leaves behind his sister in law and brother in law John and Tiffani Utz, his nieces Genesis and Kelie Utz and his nephew Tanner Utz. Rich was also blessed by a man who was truly his brother, John Uperti. Rich and John had a bond like no other. He also leaves behind extended family and cherished friends to whom he has impacted greatly.

While we feel a deep void in Rich's absence, we celebrate knowing that he is with our Savior Jesus Christ, living in a body and spirit made perfect. We celebrate the incredible life he lived.

Let us honor his memory by embracing the qualities he embodied: kindness, grace, and a commitment to making the world a better place.

Please join us in celebration of a life well lived and a symphony well played. A viewing will be held on Monday, September 4th from 3pm-5pm and again from 7pm-9pm at Moser's Funeral Home, Warrenton. Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, September 5th at 10AM at Park Valley Church in Haymarket with Pastor Mark Brady officiating. There will be a luncheon directly following the service at the church with internment at Bright View Cemetery at 1:30.

The family would like to extend their utmost thanks and gratitude to The Hospice of the Piedmont for the loving care they provided in his final days. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Richard L. Griffith Music Scholarship, Fauquier County Public Schools, which will be awarded to a Fauquier County graduate who plans to pursue a career in music.

This will be a loving tribute to Rich's commitment to spreading the joy of music within our schools and community.

May Rich rest peacefully and securely in the presence of our Heavenly Father, and may his memory continue to inspire and guide us all.
