Trade unions back massive ‘rural crescent’ data center plan Union heads say the projects would generate construction jobs for years By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
A coalition of dozens of regional construction and labor unions are backing plans for a controversial, 800-acre data center campus known as the “PW Digital Gateway” proposed for rural, western Prince William County, further ramping up political pressure behind the project’s approval. The Northern Virginia Labor Federation and the Baltimore-D.C. Building and Construction Trades Council, who together rep-
resent more than 50,000 construction and building trades workers in the D.C. metro region, have thrown their support behind the plan, citing high wages and steady employment opportunities for their workers. It is not uncommon for labor organizations to endorse a single development plan, but neither organization has publicly backed a data center project in Prince William County until now. The PW Digital Gateway could create up to 21 million square feet of data center space, making it the largest potential string of data centers Prince William County. The build-out of such facilities would likely take more than a decade, generating hundreds if not thousands of new construction jobs. See DATA CENTER, page 4

Honoring their sacrifices: Prince William County Police Major Shana Hrubes, left, led a ceremony Wednesday, Oct. 6, to honor the 18 local law-enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in Prince William County since 1922. More than 100 officers, family members and community members gathered at the Dr. A.J. Ferlazzo building for the event, which was sponsored by the Prince William County Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association.
The quick rise in COVID-19 cases that forced Bennett Elementary School in Manassas to go virtual this week is an “outbreak,” although it has yet to be officially declared as such, and is likely the result of both in-school and community spread of the virus, officials told parents Monday night. In-person instruction at Bennett Elementary, a Prince William County school of about 750 students near the fairgrounds, has been paused for at least one week to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus and to allow the school to better assess the extent of the outbreak, Prince William Health District Director Dr. Alison Ansher and school division officials told parents during a special webinar. Teachers began instructing students virtually Tuesday, Oct. 12, and will continue until officials determine it is safe for in-person classes to resume. See COVID, page 2

COVID-19 outbreak forces elementary school to go virtual COVID, from page 1 “We do feel like that will give us enough time for any developing cases to be recognized and identified, and to really evaluate the health in the building,” said Denise Huebner, Prince William County schools associate superintendent for student services and special education and the school division’s pandemic team lead. Huebner characterized the pause as a “proactive intervention.” She told parents the school division hoped to allow Bennett students to return to in-person classes on Monday, Oct. 18. The Prince William Health District recommended the pause in in-person instruction after reviewing the health data. The school had 39 confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases as of Friday, Oct. 8, and more than 200 students in quarantine due to being close contacts, Superintendent LaTanya McDade said in an Oct. 8 letter to the school community. The school division works collaboratively with the health district to monitor health data on a daily basis, Huebner said. “This situation was one that came to our attention as part of our surveillance process, due to how rapidly the rise in the numbers of cases occurred,” she explained. “We all value our student’s education and in-person learning but the safety and wellbeing of our students have to take our first priority,” Huebner added. The school division and the health district will continue monitoring the situation at Bennett over the next week. If COVID-19 cases or probable cases continue to rise, additional strategies, such as a longer pause in
in-person instruction, would be communicated to parents and caregivers as soon as possible, Huebner said. “The Virginia Department of Education does recognize that at times you may need to pause learning -or even sometimes a class, a grade level, and in this instance an entire school building -- but the intention is always to return as quickly as possible to in-person instruction,” Huebner said. “Our hope is that by having this pause, it’ll separate kids from one another and kids from the staff and allow us to sort of cool down,” Ansher explained.
More than 1,000 cases reported in local schools
Although Prince William schools have reported well over 1,000 cases of COVID-19 since the school year began, no other schools have experienced a rapid rise in cases – and level of school-related spread – that would prompt a pause in in-person instruction, officials said. When reviewing the COVID-19 cases at Bennett Elementary, the health district was able to identify contacts within the school for some cases, but not in others, which could point to a combination of in-school and community exposure, Ansher said. Ansher encouraged families to continue to be vigilant in an attempt to reduce the spread of COVD-19 to children as a means to keep students in class. She noted that Prince William County, like much of Virginia, continues to show high levels of community transmission, as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Reopened mass vaccination site is ready for 2,000 shots a day By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
The community vaccination clinic at the former Gander Mountain store in Woodbridge reopened Oct. 7 for both COVID-19 vaccination and booster shots. Health officials expect to give about 750 shots per day at the site initially but have the capacity to ramp up to 2,000 a day. The Prince William Health District had already scheduled several hundred vaccine appointments for the first day of the site’s reopening, according to Amanda David, the health district’s emergency preparedness and response coordinator “With the announcement of the boosters for Pfizer, talk of 5- to 11-year-olds being approved, in addition to possible boosters for Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, we really want to be a step ahead,” David said. The clinic has the capacity to give up to 2,000 shots per day if necessary, according to Prince William Health District spokesman Sean Johnson.
The clinic, located at 14011 Worth Ave. near the Potomac Mills Mall, will have appointments and walk-in availability from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Mondays through Saturday. Individuals who also need to receive their first or second dose, those who are immunosuppressed and need a third dose and those eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech booster shot may receive them at no cost at both the CVC at the former Gander Mountain store or at the Prince William Health District’s vaccination clinic at the Manassas Mall. COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of COVID-19 and its potentially severe complications, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC recommends that all eligible people over the age of 12 get a COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer asked the United States government to approve the use of its COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 on Thursday, Oct. 7.
period is considered high community transmission. Prince William County had 166 cases per 100,000 residents as of Oct. 2, the most recent date for which data is available. “Because we are in a high transmission community, it’s important that not only do we practice good mitigation strategies in a school environment, but also outside the school environment,” Ansher said. Ansher said she recognizes how difficult the pandemic has been for children in particular, but stressed the importance of adults getting vaccinated to protect children under 12 – who are still too young to be vaccinated -- and continuing to mask both in and out of school to prevent community transmission of COVID-19. Ansher noted that the Delta variant “is much more transmissible, [and] more likely to cause more severe infections and hospitalizations.” She encouraged families to carefully consider their behaviors and activities outside school to prevent further community spread and allow in-person learning to continue. All Prince William County schools require all students and adults to wear masks in school buildings at all times, except when eating meals. “I know it’s challenging ... but it’s really important, particularly in this group that cannot be vaccinated and so are very vulnerable to becoming infected with COVID-19,” Ansher said. An outbreak of COVID-19 is defined by the Virginia Department of Health as two or more laboratory-confirmed cases that are linked to a common exposure in the same setting. To be considered “epidemiologically linked,” the cases must occur within 14 days and must involve people who were not considered close contacts outside school, according to the VDH definition of an outbreak. Prince William County schools so far has only three official outbreaks – at Potomac High School and Yorkshire and Sudley elementary schools, according to the VDH, which posts outbreaks weekly on its website. But even before those outbreaks were made public, Prince William Health District COVID-19 epidemiologist Sean Morris said “multiple” possible outbreaks were occurring in local schools, that had not yet

been reported by the VDH. “There is some discrepancy going on with the [VDH] central office dashboard, and we are working with the central office to figure out why [the Bennett Elementary School outbreak] hasn’t been posted yet,” Morris told parents. “They have approved it as an outbreak. It is an outbreak. But we’re not quite sure why there is a data issue, and it just hasn’t been posted yet. We’ve been working with central office for about a week and half on it and we will continue working on it,” Morris said.

County Executive Chris Martino to retire Staff Reports Prince William County Executive Chris Martino, who has served in the county’s top staff post since 2016, announced Tuesday he will retire at the end of the calendar year. Martino, 63, of Haymarket, has worked for Prince William County government for 26 years, rising from the director of finance to deputy county executive for general government to the county executive post, according to a county press release. “Prince William County is a very special community, a community in which I have lived and raised my family. It has been my distinct privilege to serve in this role, and I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished during my tenure,” Martino said in a statement. “This is not an easy decision by any means. I love this organization and the people who work here. However, after close to 40 years of public service, 26 with Prince William County, it is time.” In making the announcement, Martino thanked current and former staff as well as members of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, past and present. “I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this organization,” he said. “I am thankful to the staff and the board of county supervisors, past and present, for their leadership and support as we have all worked together to accomplish our vision and to make Prince William County a community of choice.” Martino listed several accomplishments of which he is most proud, including “changing the organization’s culture to empower employees and focus on the board of county supervisors’ goals; aligning the county’s personnel policies, procedures and practices; and completing and imple-

menting classification and compensation studies to help with recruitment and retention of county employees.” Martino also noted as one of his main accomplishments the move to combine the county’s professional and volunteer fire departments under the leadership of the professional fire chief. “It is the work of our employees, however, that makes me the most proud,” he said in the statement. Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, thanked Martino for his service in a statement. Martino was hired by a Republican-majority board led by former chairman Corey Stewart but maintained his position as the board transitioned to its current Democratic majority.

“The board is very grateful for Mr. Martino’s service,” Wheeler said. “He has led this organization through many challenges – a global pandemic, social unrest, changes to the structure of the organization, and much more – and he has done so with passion, determination, and always with the best interest of the community and organization at heart.’ Wheeler called Martino’s announcement “a loss for the organization,” adding: “We certainly wish him well and the very best of luck.” Martino will continue to serve as county executive through the end of the calendar year. The county board will launch a national search for a replacement as soon as possible, the release said.

Trade unions back massive ‘rural crescent’ data center plan DATA CENTER, from page 1 “For this steady stream of data centers to be popping up in the region, that’s really significant and is a huge stabilizing force for construction workers in the area,” said Greg Akerman, Northern Virginia director for the Baltimore-D.C. Building and Construction Trades Council, about the digital gateway proposal. Council President Stephen Courtien said the organization has not publicly backed Northern Virginia data center developments in the past but that opposition from conservation groups and others prompted them to make their support for the digital gateway proposal more public. “The reason we haven’t had to publicly support others is there wasn’t pushback,” he said. Virginia Diamond, executive director for the Northern Virginia Labor Federation, said the proposal would provide county residents with opportunities “to get good jobs in the building trades” and for “residents from underserved communities to get into good apprenticeship programs” in a rapidly expanding industry. “This type of development can really help the community,” Diamond said. Diamond and Courtien both said they do not have estimates for the number of construction and trade jobs the digital gateway could create but agreed it would likely be in the thousands.
Data center industry expanding in Prince William
In the last decade, Prince William County has become a major hub for data centers. The huge, windowless, box-shaped buildings house computer systems and servers critical for running the internet. They use large amounts of electricity and are often sited along major electrical transmission lines. As demand for data center space rose during the pandemic, the industry drove up land prices in the county with some larger parcels recently selling to data center developers for close to $1 million an acre. The digital gateway is controversial because it is the first string of data center campuses proposed for the county’s “rural crescent,” a 117,000-acre area along the western edge of the county where residential development is limited and industrial development is generally not allowed. The plan could reshape at least 800 acres of mostly undeveloped agricultural land along Pageland Lane that partially borders Manassas National Battlefield Park and Conway Robinson State Forest, off U.S. 29. Its proposal has been extremely contentious since it was first announced in March. It’s drawn unanimous backlash from local conservation groups and Republican county supervisors,

“We are wondering why the unions are supporting a controversial project for data centers that are adjacent to a national park, within the watershed for our public drinking [water] and in the rural crescent, as opposed to data centers that are in our industrial area, where the impacts are significantly less,” said Kim Hosen, executive director of the Prince William Conservation Alliance. while some Democratic supervisors have signaled their support because of its potential to generate tens of millions in local tax revenue. There’s also the possibility the 800-acre proposal could expand in size once approved by the county board. In July, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted along party lines to examine the entire Pageland Lane corridor for data center uses, an area that spans nearly 5 miles. Any such development would transform the existing pastoral landscape.
Union support splits supervisors
The gateway’s endorsement by regional labor unions will likely step up the pressure on the Democratic supervisors, who hold a 5-3 majority on the county board, to approve the project. All five Democratic supervisors received campaign contributions ranging from $500 to $10,000 from those organizations during the 2019 election, and all five of their votes will likely be needed for the project’s approval because the board’s three Republicans say they oppose it. “Everyone talks about how data centers don’t create jobs. It may not have jobs at the end of it, but what it creates is job opportunities for small businesses and contractors,” Angry said. Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, did not directly answer questions about his support for project. Boddye said in an email that, “While I am proud
to have the support of working people and their representatives, I decide each case on its own merits and in its final form once it is before the board.” Board Chair Ann Wheeler and Supervisors Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac, and Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, did not respond to emailed requests for comment. Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, who once said he would fight any data center development in the county’s rural area “tooth and nail,” was more reserved in his response to questions about the plan last week, signaling that his position could be softening. “Land use decisions have long-lasting impacts that go well beyond any one special interest. Proposals such as PW Digital Gateway have to be considered with input from many different entities and not for the benefit of any one group,” Candland said. Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, however, said she would continue to stand with residents, historic preservation and environmentalist groups and national park advocates in opposition. Lawson is vying for the Republican nomination for Congress in Virginia’s 10th District. “Union politics should be absolutely irrelevant to any land use decisions made by the board, although it’s a sign some board members are desperate to drum up support for PW Digital Gateway,” Lawson said in an email.
Conservation groups opposed
The debate over data center growth in the county has largely revolved around where they should be placed. The Prince William County Department of Economic Development has said the county’s existing “Data Center Opportunity Zone,” a nearly 10,000-acre area where data centers are allowed by-right, has nearly run out of available land for data center development. Christina Winn, executive director of the Prince William Department of Economic Development, said in a July 30 letter to the planning department that only 90 to 830 “developable greenfield acres remain within” the data center overlay district. Those estimates have been disputed by some environmental and conservation groups. The Piedmont Environmental Council conducted its own analysis of the data center district and found at least 3,100 acres remaining in the district that could be suitable for data centers, according to Julie Bolthouse, the council’s deputy director of land use. A new coalition of six local and regional environmental groups fighting the expansion of data centers in the county, including Piedmont Environmental Council, the Prince William Conservation Alliance and the National Parks Conservation Alliance, also questioned organized labor’s support for the project in a recent email. “We are wondering why the unions are supporting a controversial project for data centers that are adjacent to a national park, within the watershed for our public drinking [water] and in the rural crescent, as opposed to data centers that are in our industrial area, where the impacts are significantly less,” said Kim Hosen, executive director of the Prince William Conservation Alliance.

Rural counties wrestle with solar demands from Northern Virginia By Randy Rieland Foothills Forum
There’s a quandary stewing in rural counties around Virginia, the result of a building friction between the state’s ambitious renewable energy goals and the desire of communities to preserve productive farmland and with it, their agricultural identities. Unlike a homeowner installing rooftop panels to offset electric costs, so-called “solar fields” or “utility-scale” solar projects can require many acres. They generate energy directly into the electric grid, not for end-use customers. On a deeper level, as electric vehicles and huge data centers boost the state’s power needs, there’s a wariness that rural communities will one day be expected to provide the solar energy to meet the demand. “We want to do our share, but not more than our share,” said Sam McLearen, Culpeper County’s planning director. “We’re open to this kind of energy, but we want to keep it within the bounds of Culpeper. We don’t want to be providing energy for the data centers in Northern Virginia.”
The right balance
For Julie Bolthouse, the prospect of solar panels lining open fields is a knotty matter. As deputy director of land use for the Piedmont Environmental Council focusing primarily on Fauquier County, she’s all in on the shift to renewable energy. But, she said, it comes down to navigating the right balance. “There’s a deep need to address climate change,” Bolthouse said. “That being said, though, we shouldn’t clear-cut our forests or potentially risk our food security by eliminating farms. There’s also the recreational value of the land, particularly for a place like Rappahannock, which is at the gateway to the national park. There are a lot of factors that need to be considered.” Bolthouse cited the case of the massive utility solar project that will eventually comprise as many as 1.8 million panels spread over 3,500 acres in western Spotsylvania County. The first phase went into operation this summer, and ultimately is expected to produce 484 megawatts of power for the electrical grid. Apple, Microsoft and the University of Richmond have already contracted to receive renewable energy credits from the facility. It’s the first example in the eastern United States of the huge solar “farms” that already cover great expanses of land in California and other western states. But those developments have been built on mostly arid soil. The Spotsylvania Solar Center covers what were once forests and fields. “They cleared that entire area all at once so there’s a lot of sediment in storm water ponds around it,” Bolthouse said. “Neighbors were concerned because the streams were running brown.” Bolthouse said she believes utility solar projects in Virginia should be developed in relatively small chunks, maybe 50 acres at a time, so the land can be seeded and stabilized in phases. That said, she prefers smaller-scale projects that could have much less impact on the region’s natural resources. “You might have a 25-acre site, and it doesn’t have prime agricultural soil; it’s not in an historic area; it doesn’t impact the viewshed. It might make sense to use that land for solar,” she said.
Utility solar explosion
Only five years ago, no utility-scale solar facilities were operating in Virginia. Since then, the business has exploded. Last year, in fact, more than 1.4 gigawatts of solar were installed in the state, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. That’s fourth in the country, behind only California, Texas and Florida. Virginia also ranks fourth in projected growth over the next five years. A gigawatt is equal to one billion watts. Any doubt about the state’s long-term commit-

Susan Ralston, left, is the founder of Culpeper-based Citizens for Responsible Solar. Julie Bolthouse, right, is deputy director of land use for the Piedmont Environmental Council. Both are wary of the impacts of large solar farms ment to renewable energy faded when Gov. Ralph Northam signed the Virginia Clean Economy Act in April 2020. Not only does it require Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power to be carbon-free by 2045 and 2050 respectively, but it also specifies that having a target of 16.7 gigawatts of solar power produced in Virginia would be in the “public interest.” But even with those aggressive goals, the final decisions on whether utility solar projects are approved and where they’re located remains at the local level. So, the state legislature also passed laws to sweeten the potential financial benefits for counties. One allows municipalities to replace their machinery and tools tax with a “revenue-share” arrangement that would pay a county up to $1,400 per megawatt for a project. That would tend to make large-scale solar facilities more appealing, at least fiscally. Another new law enables county officials to negotiate what are known as “siting agreements” through which a solar developer would be asked to help cover a municipality’s planned capital expenses, such as for road repairs or broadband upgrades. The laws add another level of scrutiny to an issue that’s already challenging local officials trying to figure out how much utility solar makes sense in their communities. “You have some folks who don’t want to see these anywhere,” said McLearen, the Culpeper planner. “You have some folks who feel the county could do well with one or two big projects. And you have some who think the projects should be smaller so we can hide them the best we can. So, you’re trying to serve different ideas about this.”
Fishing for prospects
There’s also the matter of aging landowners looking to find another source of revenue by leasing or selling property to solar companies, and developers haven’t been shy about fishing for prospects. “You have landowners who don’t want to farm any more who are highly incentivized by the big dollars developers are offering for their land,” said Susan Ralston, founder of Culpeper-based Citizens for Responsible Solar. “I get it. But in Culpeper, we do not want the historical or agricultural heritage of the land destroyed. “People should have the right to do what they want with their land … until you impact somebody else,” she added. “That’s why proper zoning is so important. Let’s properly site these projects where they’re not objectionable to the community and adjacent landowners.” Ralston admits she knew little about utility solar until March 2019, a few months after Cricket Solar submitted an application to build a facility on 1,600 acres near her 30-acre horse farm in Culpeper. It would have contained more than 380,000 solar panels and generated about 80 megawatts of solar energy.
Rural Va. counties say no to solar
In the past four months, officials in at least five rural counties moved to deny sizable solar project proposals, including: • In Fauquier County, where the planning commission rejected two proposals to build utility solar fields on farmland. • In Culpeper County, where the board of supervisors voted down a plan to construct a solar field covering 1,700 acres. • In Rappahannock County, where the county board rushed to pass an ordinance that restricts utility solar projects to parcels of a minimum of 500 acres with panels covering only 100 contiguous acres. • In Page County, where the county board voted to hold off support for large-scale solar developments for now. • In Orange County, where the county board approved a solar farm on just under 100 acres of agriculturally zoned land. That August, Cricket withdrew its application, but Ralston sees the solar land rush only accelerating. “Developers are trying to get a foothold in rural counties,” she said. “They know agricultural land is inexpensive. They have a lot more money, and a lot more experts and attorneys. All we can do is arm our citizens and local officials with information.”
Meeting a growing demand
However, it’s not simply a case of solar developers indiscriminately shopping for property. In fact, most of the land in the Piedmont region isn’t suitable for utility solar. That could be because it’s in a flood plain or near wetlands, or not close enough to a high-capacity electricity transmission line or power substation, or that it slopes too much. In fact, according to a 2018 analysis by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission, only about 6% of the area within Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison counties was found to be appropriate for solar development. The study also excludes “prime agricultural lands.” Orange County has the highest percentage of suitable land — about 13% — while Fauquier and Culpeper both total around 6%, the researchers concluded. Rappahannock and Madison fall at the low end of the scale, with 1.9% and 1.7% respectively of land suitable for utility solar. Still, as the cost of developing solar projects continues to fall while the demand for renewable energy climbs, the pressure on local officials will intensify. How do they accommodate utility-scale solar while staying true to their comprehensive plans? See SOLAR, page 9

More kids, teens contracted COVID-19 amid Delta-fueled wave By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
When Virginia – and the rest of the country – experienced a surge in COVID-19 cases that began in November 2020 and continued through the holidays, transmission of the virus was highest among adults 20 to 39, while kids and teens ages 19 and under had the lowest infection rates. During the current surge (which now seems to be fading) there has been a shift. According to Dr. Brandy Darby, epidemiologist with the Virginia Department of Health, newborns to 19-year-olds are becoming infected at the same rate as younger adults. “If you get more granular, the highest rates are in children 16 and 17 years old. There is a lower case rate in children 12 to 15, lower still in 5- to 10-year-olds, and children ages 0 to 4 have experienced the lowest rate of cases,” Darby said. Children older than 12 are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. Yet according to state data, kids over 12 are experiencing some of the highest rates of coronavirus. Darby said he sees multiple factors contributing to the trend. “The uptick started in July,” he said. “We were looking pretty good over the summer. Maybe families were traveling more than they had been. Then there was back to school, sports and other activities opening back up. The patterns of human interactions, plus the Delta variant – which is two times as transmissible – all came together.” During the 2020-21 school year, schools were a safe place for children when it came to COVID-19; infections were low relative to community spread. But cases began to increase with the start of school this fall. Prince William County schools have reported more than 1,000 cases among students and staff since the school year began in late August. Although COVID-19 outbreaks are difficult to tease out because students have contacts both in and outside school, the rise in school-based outbreaks reflects the rise in cases among school-age kids and teens, Darby said. “We have seen an uptick in K-12 settings. The schools that do best are those with layered mitigations in place – masks and social distancing, for instance,” she said.
Symptoms
When children contract COVID-19, they still generally experience less-severe consequences than adults. But Darby added: “Because that statement is true, some people think kids are immune. But children can become severely ill with COVID. They can have high fever, shortness of breath. Those who do have to be hospitalized may be really ill.” Darby also said children can also experience what’s known as longCOVID. “They may see their symptoms linger, taking a long time to resolve, or they may develop new
Child hospitalizations for COVID-19 peaked in September
Between Aug. 1 and Oct. 7, there were 5,742 COVID-related hospital admissions of patients between 1-17 in Health Region 3, which includes Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, according to the CDC. Between Sept. 9-15, an average of 39 children between the ages of 1-17 were hospitalized daily for COVID-19 in the region. By Oct. 1-7, the daily average dropped to 28.
symptoms over time. Some of these can be mild, but some are significant. Some can affect the heart and lungs long-term.” “This is still a new disease, and we don’t understand all of the longterm ramifications.” One example of a serious and longer-term effect of COVID-19 is multi-inflammatory syndrome in children, known as MIS-C. Darby describes the disease as a great wave of inflammation that affects different organs as it progresses. “Depending on what organs it affects, it can make someone very ill; it can take months to get back to normal,” she said. In the U.S., there have been 5,217 cases of MIS-C and 46 deaths as of Oct. 4. In Virginia, there have been 90 cases and no deaths.
Vaccinations
Children under 12 years old are not eligible for vaccinations, and vaccination rates are low for those 12 to 18, Darby acknowledged. “We are making efforts to get that population vaccinated, but different parents approach that in different ways. When it was time for my daughter, who is 12, to be vaccinated, I was so excited to be able to protect her in that way. But I can understand where other parents may not feel the way I do. It’s one thing to do it for yourself, but parents want to be extra careful when it comes to protecting their kids.” Darby emphasized that vaccines are very safe and effective, especially at preventing serious illness and death. “People want to know if vaccinated people can still get the virus, why get the vaccine? Breakthrough cases are very rare.” Darby said she believes the Pfizer vaccine for children 5 to 12 could be approved by the Food and Drug Administration between Halloween and Thanksgiving. She knows that some people are concerned the vaccine was developed too quickly to be safe, but she said she is confident it is safe. “I know it was developed more quickly than usual, but that’s because it’s been a more intense, all-handson-deck effort. These vaccines have undergone the most intense safety monitoring of any vaccine in history. Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Local leaders must stand up against anti-Semetic mailer I am writing as a representative of Congregation Ner Shalom to ask that something be done about the hateful political flier put out in the 40th District Virginia House of Delegates’ race. Congregation Ner Shalom (Light of Peace) is the only synagogue in Prince William County. The county has been a place where we congregants feel we belong and are respected. We are Democrats, Republicans and independents. So, we cannot understand what
has happened that allows a local politician to put out a flier like the one that smeared Del. Dan Helmer, D-40th. It used symbolism that was spewed by the Nazis, including altered facial features, and is something we cannot accept or tolerate. We call on leaders from all parties to let their members know that there is no tolerance for this in our county! ETHAN SHIPP Congregation Ner Shalom Woodbridge
Democratic leadership has accomplished a lot The past four years under Democratic leadership have resulted in positive results for Virginians. Just to name a few: Economy: The Center Square, compiling data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, and the U.S. Department of Commerce/Bureau of Economic Analysis and taking COVID pandemic contraction into consideration, ranked Virginia 11th in the United States on economic growth in recent years. Voting: Voting options to include early absentee and early in-person voting have expanded accessibility to the ballot box for everyone, especially senior citizens with limited transportation options, people with disabilities, people incapacitated or hospitalized on Election Day, workers whose schedules make it difficult to get to the polls and voters who can’t set aside hours to stand in line to vote on a particular date. ID safeguards continue to be in place, including federal voter ID laws. Virginia Driver Privilege
Cards are not an acceptable form of voter ID. Expanded access to healthcare: More citizens have access to affordable healthcare as well as access to virtual healthcare. Virtual access to healthcare is particularly important in rural areas where local hospitals and walk-in clinics have closed and doctors have moved away. Minimum wage: Minimum wage increased to $9.50 an hour with phased-in increases to $15 an hour possible beginning in January of 2026. Protections for children and victims of domestic violence: Sensible changes to firearms laws provide protections for children from unsecured firearms and help protect victims of domestic violence from perpetrators with guns. Gun owners’ due process rights are preserved. Public places and voting locations are safer. Womens’ rights: Women can seek reproductive health care without overreaching big government barriers and controls. The Equal Rights Amendment passed in Virginia. Expand-
In support of Glenn Youngkin for governor On Nov. 2, Virginians will vote on who will represent them in the governor’s office for the next four years. Glenn Youngkin, a political outsider and successful businessman, is the bold leader who will restore Virginia’s prosperity and lead us to a vibrant economic recovery. Glenn’s Day One game plan will jumpstart our economy, which ranks 44th in the nation for pandemic recovery. Glenn’s plan will create 400,000 jobs and 10,000 startups, cutting regulations to create jobs making it easier for innovators and entrepreneurs to get small businesses moving again. He will launch #JumpstartJobs, an innovative initiative to develop talent, train workers, attract investment and make Virginia the best and easiest state in which to start a business. Glenn has been endorsed by three organizations representing thousands of Virginia small businesses; they know Glenn is the leader to bring economic recovery and prosperity back to the Commonwealth. Glenn will cut exploding costs for families, relieving the burden of rising inflation and taxes by eliminating the grocery tax, suspending the gas tax hike for 12 months, end runaway property taxes by requiring voter approval for increases and cut income taxes by doubling the standard deduction, putting real dollars back into the pockets of hard-working Virginians. Glenn will keep Virginia open and Virginians safe while making Virginia the best place to live, work and raise a family again. Vote for Glenn Youngkin for Governor to restore our beloved commonwealth to prosperity. KIM SCHATZ Round Hill, Va.
ed childcare support helps women return to the workforce. Attorney General Mark Herring closed out the 2,665 rape kit backlog. Death penalty abolished: This long-awaited change responds to the pro-life community as well as those who oppose the death penalty on moral grounds. State income taxes: Virginians are no longer penalized under the federal $10,000 deduction cap on the sum of real estate taxes, state and local income taxes and other deductible taxes. Citizens, regardless of political affiliation, race or ethnicity, have the Democratic legislature and administration to thank for these positive changes and strong state economy. Positive momentum and rejection of big lies can be achieved by voting a straight Democratic ticket. NANCY TREUSCH Warrenton
Rural counties wrestle with solar demands from Northern Virginia SOLAR, from page 6 Jonah Fogel is the program director for the Environmental Resilience Institute at the University of Virginia; he works with local governments and the state on energy planning and policies. “Solar is the latest emerging land use for which we need to have a public dialogue. As we build out the energy future for the country and decarbonize the economy, there are going to be tradeoffs,” he said. He anticipates that demand for solar could far exceed the target of 16.7 gigawatts called for in the Virginia Clean Economy Act, pointing out that data centers are now big drivers of the clean energy economy. “For us to have Netflix and all these other services in our homes, we’re going to have to energize a system that doesn’t rely on high-intensity carbon sources,” Fogel said. “But we’ve got to remember that this didn’t come from nowhere. We have an energy demand we’re going to have to meet, and these are the technologies that get us there.”
And that, he said, is making rural boards of supervisors and planning commissions start to wrestle with a vexing set of questions. What role, if any, should their communities play in supporting the shift to renewable energy? To what degree? And how do they weigh the potential financial benefits versus what could be lost? “Not everywhere is good for solar, and that’s the starting point,” said Fogel. “They need to look at what lands are likely to be developed, and what they can do in those areas to be supportive of that land use, but restrictive in a way that’s responsible for the goals of the community. Through that process, they can say this is a land use that can occur here, and we know how to do it in a responsible way. “The last thing I’d want to see is for municipalities to say ‘no’ to solar because they just don’t want to deal with it.” Randy Rieland is a freelance writer who writes for the Foothill Forum, a nonprofit providing support for local news.

SAD lamps available at county libraries By Kirk Johnson
Contributing Writer
With fall weather coming and October already well under way, the days are getting shorter. Shorter days mean less sunlight and a higher percentage of waking hours spent in darkness. And because many people spend most of these shortened daylight hours indoors, it also means a lack of direct sunlight and Vitamin D. For years, people knew that this change of rhythm could lead to negative thoughts and feelings, a phenomenon which came to be identified as a definable mental health issue that millions suffer from every year: seasonal affective disorder or SAD. SAD is a recognized mental health condition that can manifest itself in fatigue, depression and social withdrawal. It affects not only mood, but also the well-being and social function of sufferers. Because northern Virginia experiences several weeks of much less daylight in the winter, it is a seri-
ous concern for many residents. While the exact causes of SAD are not fully understood, the condition is both widely recognized and treatable. In fact, many people who suffer from SAD are fully capable of diagnosing themselves. If you recognize a recurrence of symptoms, you can find many treatments and strategies on your own which are accessible and affordable. One popular treatment is a “SAD lamp,” a specialized light device. Unlike most sources of indoor artificial light, a SAD lamp mimics sunlight, which can trigger the body to release serotonin. While the efficacy of this treatment cannot be guaranteed, it is also virtually risk-free. Prince William Public Libraries has nearly 20 SAD lamps in our collection. They can be checked out, renewed and put on hold. Each comes with instructions for use. If you or somebody close to you suffers from SAD – or thinks they might -- or if you simply believe a

What’s hot at the Prince William Libraries: October By Kirk Johnson
Contributing Writer
Although the weather sometimes doesn’t match our seasonal expectations, October generally means “fall” for most of us. As the weather gets cold and damp and the days get shorter, the appeal of curling up in a comfortable chair with a good book gets harder and harder to resist—so why try? “The Lincoln Highway”: Bestselling author Amor Towles is already familiar to many Prince William Public Library patrons. His previous novels, “Rules of Civility” and “A Gentleman in Moscow,” have been checked out hundreds of times. And with good reason—they are captivating and entertaining works of serious fiction. His new novel, “The Lincoln Highway,” looks to continue the trend of pleasing reviewers and readers, alike. A road novel and more, this story
about a young man trying to start his life over after serving a prison term for a tragic killing committed as a teenager. It will surely continue Towles’ success at finding a mass audience for well-crafted literary fiction. “The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music”: Northern Virginia native—and contemporary rock music legend—Dave Grohl has already made his name as a member of the legendary band Nirvana, the leader of rock juggernaut Foo Fighters, and an informal yet inescapable status as rock music’s designated representative at award shows, the late-night talk circuit, and more. Now, he stakes his claim to being a storyteller as well, in his new book titled … well, “The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music.” In it, Grohl reveals that behind the persona of lovably upbeat suburban dude who lucked himself into rock stardom and celebrity, lurks … a pretty much a lovably upbeat suburban dude who
has really enjoyed the perks of rock stardom and celebrity. There’s not much dirt or drama here, but plenty of sincerity and enthusiasm. And, of course, he writes (feelingly) of his relationship with the late Kurt Cobain. “The High 5 Habit”: A few years ago, motivational speaker Mel Robbins hit a nerve with “The 5-Second Rule.” Now she’s back with more uplifting self-improvement advice. In “The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit,” she dares the reader to become their own biggest fan. Many self-improvement books focus on finding what you’re doing wrong— Robbins instead encourages the reader to give themselves credit for what they’re doing right, whatever that might be. “The Last House on Needless Street”: If it’s chills and thrills you’re searching for, Catriona Ward is ready to deliver. An up-and-coming force in literary horror—Ste-
phen King is a big fan—Ward’s new novel, “The Last House on Needless Street” is getting lots of buzz and delivers in spades. Building on the archetypal horror trope of the strange house “down the street” in the neighborhood with shadowy residents who are more whispered about than known, Ward keeps tightening the screws of suspense and doesn’t let up. “The Santa Suit”: If you need something light and cheerful instead—and don’t mind rushing past Halloween and Thanksgiving in anticipation of the Christmas season— then Mary Kay Andrews knows just what you’re looking for. “The Santa Suit” is a novella that will give her fans—and lovers of frothy holiday fare—exactly the boost they’re looking for. Enjoy your fall reading! Kirk Johnson is a manager in the Prince William Public Libraries materials services unit.

Woodbridge won its third consecutive Cardinal District competition cheer crown Monday by 34.5 points over second-place Colgan. Next up is the Oct. 21 region meet and a shot at the Vikings’ first-ever state appearance.” It’s that state tournament we want,” says coach Amanda Frase.
‘We’re not cute sideline cheerleaders. We’re athletes.’ Woodbridge cheer wins Cardinal crown, seeks first state berth
WHAT’S NEXT
By Jason S. Rufner
The Class 6 Region B Championship is Oct. 21 at Woodbridge Senior High School starting at 6:30 p.m. $10 admission. The top two teams move to states.
Entering the season, the Woodbridge Vikings competition cheer team’s goal was to win the Cardinal District for the third straight year. The three-peat was happily accomplished Monday when they won the Cardinal crown over second-place Colgan and third-place Hylton. Now the Viking cheerleaders have a new goal. “I would love to see my girls make states. That has not happened in my coaching career, or at Woodbridge,” sixth-year head coach Amanda Frase said. “It’s that state tournament that we want.” To make the Nov. 6 state meet in Richmond they need to place first or second at the Region 6B meet on Oct. 21 on Woodbridge’s home floor. Frase believes this team can make it to the prestigious state meet at Virginia Commonwealth
Vanegas, Sarah Wood, Summer Smith, and Kayla Petrakis, the Viking performers focused on crowd involvement, sharp stunts, time-synchronized tumbling, and a “strong, clean, seamless transition of our routine.” Seniors Veronica English, Gabrielle Gilbert, JaLynn Ralph, and Sarah Ringwood have also been dependable leaders. “It’s been incredible to see them develop and grow as cheerleaders and as young ladies,” Frase said. From the beginning of her tenure, Frase sought to change the mindset of cheerleading at Woodbridge. “We’re not just cute sideline cheerleaders, we’re athletes,” she said. “We’re here to compete, and we’re going to do what we need to do to win.”

Nine of Woodbridge’s 20 cheerleaders are seniors, and six have been on the varsity squad all four years.

PRINCE WILLIAM GOLF REPORT
BRENTSVILLE GOLF CONTINUES RUN OF GREATNESS Battlefield sends two to states; Gainesville flies high in first year By Jason S. Rufner
Special to the Prince William Times
Several Prince William County golf programs holed out their seasons in style. With a hole-in-one on the 155-yard 16th, Battlefield’s Will Harley earned all-state recognition, shooting a two-under 70 to tie for fifth overall at Tuesday’s Class 6 tournament at Williamsburg National Golf Club. Harley’s teammate Tate Corbett, a fellow senior and the only other local golfer in the field, tied for 29th with a 78. The day before at Monday’s Class 3 tourney in Abingdon, the entire six-golfer Brentsville lineup scored 87 or better, led by Alex Bae’s 79, giving the Tigers fifth place.
There’s still some golf to be played, with the girls local zone qualifier Oct. 18 in Front Royal before the girls state championship Oct. 25 in Harrisonburg.
Tigers toll to district, region crowns
It was a banner season for Brentsville, winning both the Class 3 Northwestern District and Region B titles. Consistency throughout the lineup drove the Tigers to first-place team scores of 310 in the districts and 313 in regionals. “We had a great season,” third-year coach Gina Butler said. “My top four golfers played solid golf, while my fifth, sixth, and seventh continued to get better each week.” See GOLF, page 26

WOLVES WITH CLAWS AND CLEATS
Ball control offense and revived defense has Gar-Field 3-0 in Cardinal By Jason S. Rufner
Special to the Prince William Times
New style, same results for coach Tony Keiling’s football program at Gar-Field. When the Red Wolves went 6-1 on the gridiron last spring, they did so with a potent offense that racked up 31 or more points five times. So the Wolves’ current record (4-2, 3-0 in the Cardinal District) heading into Friday’s contest at Forest Park (2-5, 1-2) isn’t surprising. What’s surprising is how they’re winning. “This team is totally different from last year,” fifth-year head coach Tony Keiling said. “We’re winning with our defense. It’s hard to run on our defense.”
Elijah Sledge, who also goes by E.J., is among the Red Wolves’ top runners.

Gainesville growing up fast
At the start of this inaugural season, Gainesville head coach Scott King just hoped to fill out a lineup. By the end of the season, he had a team of seven that showed well at regionals. Gainesille will see Zoe Heaton and Cassie Sengul perform at the girls zone qualifier. “What a positive year for our first go-around,” King said. “I’m looking forward to off-season practice and workouts.” Freshman Jack Schimler turned out to be the star of the team, shooting a team-best 83 in the Region 6B tourney to tie for 15. Charlie Cappellini lowered his scoring average by 15 shots during the season, King said. King, who previously coached at George Mason University, hopes to see more improvement in Year Two.

Frank Talmadge Marks Frank Talmadge Marks went home to be with his Lord and Savior on October 3, 2021. He was born in Hoke County, North Carolina, and grew up working the family farm with is seven siblings. Frank was always a worker – while still in high school, he drove the school bus that would transport his siblings to and from school. After graduating high school, he honorably served his country by joining the United States Air Force where he made liquid oxygen for pilots. Following his term in the USAF, he worked as a diesel mechanic for a number years before joining his brothers in the family flooring business, where he worked until his retirement in 2005. When not working, Frank always kept himself busy by playing the part of “Mr. Gardener” or “Mr. Fix-it” – there wasn’t anything he couldn’t grow and/or wouldn’t fix. He also had a genuine love for hunting and fishing and was always up for another fishing trip. Much of his time was spent with immediate and extended family members at the family’s “river house” where he enjoyed boating, scuba diving, catching croaker, striped bass (rockfish), and Spanish mackerel, just to name a few. In December 1966, Frank married Linda Meadows and they remained married until his passing. Frank and Linda lived in Manassas Park, VA, for nearly 20 years before moving to Midland, VA in 1988. His enormous love for his family – for his girls – was always obvious. He is survived by his wife, Linda and their three daughters: Robin Burgess and husband Ronald; Tracey Marks; and Jamie Dyson and husband Jason, all of Culpeper, VA. He has four grandchildren: Harleigh Childress and husband Cody, Travis Burgess and fiancé Brittany Rininger, Emily Dyson, and Tyler Dyson; and two great-grandchildren – Reagan Burgess and Easton Childress. He also has one sister, Judy Lucas; two brothers Lee Marks and Gary Marks, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased in death by his parents, James Laster and Betty Riggsbee Marks; one sister, Sarah Gilchrist; and three brothers, Thomas Marks, John “Chip” Marks, and Robert Marks. The family will receive friends at Moser Funeral Home from 6 to 8 PM on Monday, October 11, 2021, where a funeral service will take place at 11 AM on Tuesday, October 12, 2021. Interment will follow at at Culpeper National Cemetery, 305 U.S. Avenue, Culpeper, VA at 1 PM, with military honors provided by VFW Post 2524. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to Autism Society of America in honor of Easton Childress. Online condolences may be given at www.moserfuneralhome.com

Arthur W. Palmer, Jr. Arthur W. Palmer, Jr., age 87, passed away peacefully at home in Warrenton on October 3, 2021. He was born on January 2, 1934 in Washington, D.C. to Arthur Wheatley and Charlotte Palmer. He is survived by his dear wife of 66 years, Martha Palmer, an older sister, Mary Lee Maples, four children with their spouses (Virginia Palmer-Fuechsel and Klaus Fuechsel, Tom and Lisa Palmer, Pamela and David Pinney, Ira and Cindy Palmer), twelve grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. From early childhood on, music was Art’s passion. Following his service in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, he earned his Bachelor of Music at the University of Redlands, CA, followed by the Master of Music at Indiana University School of Music. When the family eventually moved back to the DC area, he worked with Riviere Securities as an investment counselor and broker. Art became well known in the Warrenton community from 1976-2005 as a real estate broker (founder of Virginia Piedmont Realty), land developer in Fauquier and surrounding counties, singer (including the Warrenton Chorale), and choir director (most notably the Culpeper Piedmont Choral Society from 1993-2003). After a serious accident that necessitated his retirement, he spent twelve years in Ohio before returning to Warrenton to be closer to the family. Family and friends are invited to remember Arthur’s life on Saturday, November 6 at 10 AM in the Moser Funeral Home 233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, VA 20186, 540-347-3431.

Carrie Lynne Dombroff May 1, 1979 – October 5, 2021 Carrie went to join those of the family who have preceded her in heaven on October 5, 2021 following a courageous decade-long battle against cancer.

While there she lettered in three sports (softball, field hockey and soccer). She attended East Carolina University, earning a BA in Commercial Interior Design and spent her working career helping to design new office spaces for numerous firms and oversee relocations of companies from one building to another. She resided in Chantilly for more than ten years before finally returning to Warrenton along with her son Gabriel and beloved dog Zeus. In addition to her son, she leaves behind -- to mourn but also to celebrate a life well-lived -- her parents Jeff and Susan, her brother Brian (Tiffani) of Culpeper and scores of other family members and friends.

TOWN OF HAYMARKET NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Haymarket will hold a Public Hearing on Monday, November 1, 2021 at 7:00 P.M. in the Haymarket Town Hall located at 15000 Washington Street, Suite 100, Haymarket, Virginia, regarding the adoption of general and comprehensive amendments to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and related maps, Chapter 58 of the Town Code. The proposed amendments update the entire code, changing numerous provisions in every zone, changing definitions, affecting many substantive and procedural portions of the Chapter, modifying the Old and Historic Haymarket Overlay district’s boundaries, and adding a Sign Zoning map. Substantive changes include restating the purpose provisions, expressly stating that uses not permitted are forbidden, modifying the descriptions of the various zoning districts, changing the height limit from 50 feet/four stories to 35 feet/three stories in the B-1 zoning district, changing the height limit from 50 feet to 35 feet in the B-2 zoning district, eliminating the provision for heights over 50 feet by Special Use Permit in the B-2 and I-1 districts, increasing the maximum buildable lot coverage in the B-2 district from 75% to 80%, revising the purpose and intent of the Old and Historic Haymarket overlay district, rewriting the provisions on nonconforming uses, structures, and lots, encouraging the use of native plants in required landscaping areas, imposing the responsibility for infrastructure maintenance on the property owner if an HOA fails to act after notice, limiting stacking spaces for drive-ins, creating design standards affecting the location, size, and physical characteristics of residential short-term rentals and solar energy systems, providing for a maximum fence height of six feet in the R-1 and R-2 districts, requiring sewer connections for new structures in the B-1 district, prohibiting heavy industry that generates high levels of noise, odor, soot, or vibration, or that requires special power lines in the I-1 district, revising parking requirements, and limiting historic landmarks to only those resources built prior to 1950. Definition changes include repealing unused definitions, adding a definition of data center (which is not permitted anywhere in the Town), adding a definition of marijuana establishment (which is permitted in Business and Industrial zones), adding a definition of mobile food unit (which is permitted in all zones under specified conditions), adding definitions of domestic chickens and honeybees (permitted as accessory uses subject to use and design standards in the R-1 district on parcels of 1 acre or larger), adding a definition of residential short term rentals (permitted in the R-1 and R-2 districts), adding a definition of public assembly use (which includes religious assemblies), and adding definitions related to solar energy systems. The Chapter amendments also change the procedural elements of Chapter 58, providing procedures for Special Use Permit consideration, changing the requirements for preliminary and final site plans, adding a requirement for posting of property proposed to be rezoned, providing for a meeting before applying for a rezoning or Special Use Permit, providing standards for determining whether a rezoning or Special Use Permit application is complete, expanding the requirements for amendments to the zoning ordinance, adding provisions relating to General Development Plans and Master Zoning Plans, expanding provisions dealing with conditional zoning, removing civil penalties as an enforcement tool, requiring notice to the Zoning Administrator of temporary signs, revising the provisions dealing with historic preservation, providing a method for verification of nonconforming uses, structures, and lots, and providing approval processes for residential short term rentals and solar energy systems. The proposed amendments create a table showing the by-right and special exception uses in each of the zoning districts. The proposed amendments change the permitted uses in the districts due to the definition changes, due to the removal of public assembly use from residential districts, and due to removal of the brewery/distillery use from the Transitional Commercial district. In addition, the Town proposes amendments to the Town Zoning Map consisting of (1) reducing the size of the Old and Historic Haymarket Overlay District and (2) adding a Sign Zoning overlay map with three districts to govern the size, material, placement, and illumination of flags, banners, and other signs: Gateway District (consisting of properties generally along Route 15 and western portions of Route 55), Core District (consisting of most non-residential properties along Route 55 not in the Gateway district), and Residential District (consisting of the remainder of the Town). The Ordinance draft is available on the Towns website (www.townofhaymarket. org) and for review at Town Hall located at 15000 Washington Street, between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. Monday – Friday, phone 703-753-2600. All meetings are open to the public. The Town of Haymarket does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to its programs and activities.
