Some candidates stay mum on data centers

Only 8 supervisor hopefuls—mostly Republicans—share their views on controversial data center projects

By Shannon Clark Times Staff Writer

With just weeks until the Nov. 7 election, only half of the 14 candidates for the Prince William Board of County Supervisors are publicly sharing their positions on five of the most controversial and unresolved data center projects across the county.

Of the 14 candidates, 12, including six Democrats and six Republicans, responded to inquiries from the Prince William Times about their positions on the five projects.

Eight of the candidates said they are against all five projects. They include two Democrats—Deshundra Jefferson, the nominee for board chair, and Jim Gehlsen, the Democratic nominee in the Brentsville

There’s a flash of crimson red as it flutters by and then cute polka-dotted wings when it lands. Behold, it’s an adult spotted lanternfly. They’re in all corners of Prince William, and by now, you’ve likely seen one and hopefully killed it.

The spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest that while harmless to humans can cause widespread economic and ecological harm by damaging plants.

Battlefield advocates sound alarms on logistical hub Six-building complex planned next to Bristoe heritage park

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Those traveling on Nokesville Road just south of the Prince William Parkway likely have noticed a huge building on the east side of the highway. It could easily be mistaken for a data center, but it is actually the westernmost structure in what is to be an eight-building warehouse and distribution project.

Such commercial centers can be a boon in terms of real estate revenue and jobs. But if the project adds six more buildings to the south along Bristow Road as planned, they will end up looming over the Bristoe Station Battlefield Heritage Park. That is causing deep concern.

About 40 residents of Prince William and other nearby counties recently met with officials from the American Battlefield Trust in Nokesville to rally against this complex facing a major Civil War site.

The nonprofit, headquartered in Washington, advocates for preservation of battlefields across the U.S. The trust officials told the crowd that the development, dubbed the “Manassas Logistics Center,” would involve more than 770,00 square feet of warehouses with hundreds of loading docks and more than a thousand parking spaces. It would have a serious impact on local roads, but its massive buildings also would be erected directly on land that is the “core battlefield,” said Chuck Laudner, a trust consultant.

Here, exactly 160 years ago on Oct. 14, 1863,

Please spot and kill it LANTERNFLY, from page 1 The spotted lanternfly was first discovered in Prince William in March 2021 by county public works staff doing routine forest pest surveillance near the Manassas Regional Airport and Broad Run Virginia Railway Express commuter train station.

Cindy Smith, an associate professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University, reports there are still “quite a few” spotted lanternflies present at the Broad Run train station. She surmises they’re commuting: “Of course that means they might be hitching rides and traveling toward Arlington and D.C.” Despite Prince William County’s best efforts to manage the insect’s spread, the spotted lanternfly has es-

two Union corps heading east toward Centreville defeated four Confederate brigades that stumbled on them and decided to attack. It is estimated that 1,920 soldiers died there.

While the battlefield park lies south of Bristow Road, much of the fighting took place north of it, right where the 100,000- to 200,000-square-foot buildings are to go up. “Everywhere you walk out there is a graveyard,” Laudner said.

Still, the preservationists told those at the meeting that the chances of stopping the project are about zero, with two buildings already built and six more planned. What they are looking for is “mitigation,” they said, such as getting developer Trammel Crow’s company to agree to build further away from the park, to screen the buildings better or to find other ways for them to have less impact on the park’s “viewsheds.”

Tom Gordy, a member of Prince William County’s planning commission and the Republican nominee for the Brentsville District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, attended the meeting and offered some hope.

Gordy noted that the land is zoned light industrial, which allows warehouses of any size by-right.

But he said the developer wants to use its second building, which is 126,000 square feet, as a distribution center. County zoning codes would only allow this distribution center to be 80,000 square feet—anything larger needs a special use permit.

Gordy said that has opened the door for him to talk to the project’s lawyer. “I can try to shape the projects, but I can’t stop them,” he said. For instance, he said he was pressing for buffers— zones of trees—larger than the 20 feet required

tablished populations throughout the county and earlier this month was officially classified as “pervasive,” according to Prince William County Public Works’ mosquito and forest pest management branch.

“We’ve found them all the way up north in Bull Run Mountain and all the way down south of Woodbridge,” said Robin Firth, a county forest pest specialist, in a news release. “Efforts to mitigate the spread have, so far, been unsuccessful.”

Smith said that she has observed them on her roof in Nokesville in the last few days.

The spotted lanternfly likely arrived in North America hidden on imported goods from Asia, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was first detected in the country in 2014, in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Virginia’s first spotted lanternfly was discovered

by the county’s code.

Max Hokit, a government affairs associate with the American Battlefield Trust, said the purpose of the Oct. 11 meeting was to get the project on residents’ minds, which would result in it getting on public officials’ radar. And then, if it comes about that something on the project needs official approval, the officials will know residents care, he said.

Hokit said the battlefield trust only became aware of this warehouse project last year because there were no public meetings where it was discussed or approved. That’s because the land has long been zoned industrial, where warehouses can be built by-right.

Since then, he said, the trust has tried to bring pressure on the development through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which must issue a permit for the project because of wetlands on the property. The Corps is also undertaking a review under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which allows for comment on projects that have an impact on historic properties.

In meetings with the Army Corps of Engineers, he said, “We hit the point where the Army Corps sort of established what they see the impact is on the battlefield. And we have told them that we see it somewhat differently.”

Now begins a process under the Section 106 review where interested groups like the trust get to formally weigh in. This will be a tough battle, Hokit said.

“But one of the best methods we have is this process beginning now to ask this developer to do the right thing. To protect the county’s parks that have already been preserved, and the land around it.”

Because the spotted lanternfly did not evolve in North America, it has no natural predators here to keep its population in check.

The “Capital Naturalist,” Alonso Abugattas, a master naturalist, says eliminating the invasive species “is best done as soon as you see them and before they get so out of hand that you can’t do anything but manage them.”

That’s why the county is asking residents to take an active role to help control the exponential population growth greater Prince William is experiencing. Residents are urged to destroy any spotted lanternflies they find at any stage of their life cycle.

Adult insects can be smacked with a fly swatter, stepped on or sprayed with a mix of dish soap and water. A viral online “hack” shows that holding an empty plastic water bottle near

them results in the pests launching themselves directly into the bottle.

Then, the bottle can be capped and put in the freezer for final extermination.

Now through December, adult female spotted lanternflies will deposit grayish-brown egg masses containing 30 to 50 eggs on trees and other smooth surfaces, including vehicles. The egg masses are easy to miss because they look like small mud smears and can survive all winter before hatching in spring.

Using a credit card, residents can scrape egg masses into a baggie filled with hand sanitizer. Then, double bag them and throw them away.

It’s a good idea to also check vehicles for spotted lanternflies and egg masses before leaving the county to help manage the spread.

70 homes, businesses could be impacted by new Va. 28 route Supervisors OK $1M for design of new route

By Shannon Clark Times Staff Writer

The long-awaited Va. 28 bypass was already shaping up to be one of the most impactful local road projects in decades by requiring the taking of more than 50 Manassas homes, including an estimated seven to 10 in the Bull Run Mobile Home Park.

Now, a new route being explored

by Prince William County could boost that number to 70.

After a heated debate, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors decided on Tuesday, Oct. 10 to spend an additional $1 million to pay an engineering contractor to design a new route that would keep the 3.5mile bypass within Prince William County’s borders instead of traveling over land in Fairfax County.

That change would direct the bypass along the banks of Bull Run— instead of building a new bridge over it— and would impact 12 more homes and three businesses in addition to the 55 originally affected by the original route, according to Ric Canizales, Prince William County’s director of transportation.

Like the original route, the new path would extend Godwin Drive beyond Sudley Road along an existing easement between the West Gate of Lomond and Yorkshire Park neighborhoods alongside Flat Branch Creek.

But the easement ends just prior to the Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority treatment plant on Compton Road, and that’s where the trouble for residents begins. To avoid the treatment plant, the bypass would turn onto Alleghany Road, continue along Albemarle Road and then turn onto Boundary Avenue—taking more than 40 homes along the way.

The road would continue into the Bull Run Mobile Home Park, taking out between seven to 10 mobile homes along Jacobs Lane.

The new route, however, would remain on the south side of Bull Run, impacting more homes in the Quail Hollow townhome community before connecting back up with Va. 28 south of Orchard Bridge near Patton Lane. The three businesses likely to be impacted are a car dealership, tire shop and repair shop near Va. 28, also called Centreville Road, and Patton Lane, Canizales said.

Canizales said the county’s transportation department is considering the new route because Fairfax County officials had expressed several concerns about the original plan, which would have impacted Bull Run Regional Park as well as five or six homes on Ordway Drive. There were also environmental and utility concerns, he said.

A resolution authorizing the county to spend $1 million on the new design was approved in 4-3 party-line vote with Supervisors Bob Weir, R-Gainesville, Yesli Vega, R-Coles, and Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, voting no. Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, was not present during the vote.

The decision came after a heated

discussion between Vega and Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, during which Vega accused Wheeler of being hypocritical in supporting the road despite its razing smaller, affordable homes, including mobile homes, in a minority-majority area of the county.

“The bulk of people that you are displacing are members of minority communities, are they not?” Vega said to Wheeler, her voice raised. “I am going to continue to advocate for my community for the least of these for those that don’t have a voice, and I’m going to be their representative.”

Weir asked Canizales for more information regarding a plan for residents who will be impacted by the alternative route. Canizales said he did not yet have an answer, as the exact impacts of the route’s design has not yet been finalized, and there may be ways mitigate some impacts to homes and businesses.

The discussion suggested that county officials were considering a plan to perhaps relocate some of the mobile homes on a nearby parcel of land, but neither Canizales nor the supervisors offered more specifics.

“We are looking at the best way to try to mitigate 55 to 70 homes being taken,” Canizales said. “We are trying to think outside the box; we are trying to think of new things, as everybody has mentioned here before; it will be difficult to get homes for a lot of these people.”

In response to Vega’s comments, Wheeler said she is mindful of the people who would be affected by the new road as well as the motorists who may benefit. The road, estimated to cost at least $300 million, is meant to take traffic off Va. 28 through Manassas and Manassas Park and ease trips from those areas to Fairfax County.

“I care about the people on the route; I also care about the hundreds of thousands of people who are using the route every day or every week,” Wheeler said.

Once the alternative route is designed, Canizales said both routes will be presented to the Prince William and Fairfax County boards for consideration and to decide whether to move forward with one or the other—or drop the project altogether.

Canizales said if the Prince William board decides to move forward with the alternative route, Fairfax County has agreed to “partner with the county” on widening needed between Patton Lane and the Fairfax County line.

Wheeler said that for those whose homes are impacted, the county pays market value for homes and properties and pays to relocate residents and businesses, if necessary.

“When we do take homes from people over the years, we always make sure that they have the amount of money to go into a comparable or better home; it’s not like we are displacing people and not giving them a choice,” Wheeler said.

The new design will set the timeline for the project back by about a year. The project was projected to begin construction in 2026 but now will

Mobile homes along Jacobs Lane in the Bull Run Mobile Home Park would have to be moved or razed for the proposed Va. 28 bypass. be delayed until at least 2027, Due to the new alternative route design, right-of-way processing is expected to begin in 2026, according to Gretchen Johnson, senior communications analyst for Prince William County’s Department of Transportation.

“Do we have a problem on 28? Absolutely,” said Vega. “Have we had problems on 28 when it comes to traffic concerns? Yes. Do we need a solution? Yes, but this proposal is not it.”

DATA CENTERS, from page 1 Kenny Boddye, who is seeking reelection in the Occoquan District; Supervisor Andrea Bailey, who is seeking reelection in the Potomac District; and Idris O’Connor, who is running in the Coles District.

Two candidates—Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, and Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge—declined to give their position to either the advocacy group or the Prince William Times.

“Say No to the Devlin Tech Park,” a group of residents who oppose a plan to allow up to 11 new data centers behind several Bristow neighborhoods, surveyed all 14 candidates in late August, ahead of the start of early voting on Sept. 22.

Bethany Kelley, a Say No to Devlin Tech Park organizer, said the lack of a response from several candidates is disappointing.

“We think no response is an answer,” Kelley said. “It’s telling us either they don’t want to go on record, or they don’t want to be bothered with it.”

Any project needs five votes to pass. The board currently has a 5-3 Democratic majority, and Democrats have been more willing in recent years to approve data center rezonings. The election could tip those scales if Republicans pick up even one more seat, resulting in a 4-4 partisan split.

Already, a handful of data center rezonings approved by the existing board are very unpopular, despite the rising tax revenue data centers generate. The facilities paid more than $100 million last year, according to county officials.

The Village Technology Park, in Gainesville, began construction on its four, 70-foot buildings in May and has been criticized by nearby residents because of its proximity to homes. It was approved in a 5-3 party-line vote with all five Democrats supporting the project, and all three Republicans opposed.

Also unpopular among Bristow residents is the Hunter property data center development, which was approved in a 7-1 vote, with only Boddye voting in opposition. The decision allowed up to 14 data centers behind Amberleigh Station and Silver Leaf Estates in Bristow, although none have yet been built.

Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, was unseated by Jefferson in the June primary, a defeat widely seen as a rebuke of her support for data center projects. Wheeler has been a strong supporter of the PW Digital Gateway and voted in favor of Village Place Technology Park and the Hunter property data center rezoning. Wheeler scheduled a Dec. 12 vote on the PW Digital Gateway—teeing up a decision on the county’s largest-scale commercial development project in decades during the board’s lame-duck session after the election.

Candidates for board chair

In response to the survey, Lawson, the Republican nominee, said she opposes all five data center projects.

“Regardless of when these votes come before the Prince William board, as long as I’m seated on the board, I will vote against each of them,” Lawson said.

Lawson has said she opposes any data centers in the formerly protected rural crescent, which would include the PW Digital Gateway and the Potomac Technology Park. She also said she opposes the Devlin Technology Park because of its impact on surrounding neighborhoods.

Lawson voted against the PW Digital Gateway and the Devlin Technology Park but voted in favor of the Hunter project data center rezoning.

Jefferson, the Democratic nominee, also said she opposes all five projects and has said she has concerns about data centers near homes, schools and parks. Jefferson recently released a statement about her opposition to the Potomac Technology Park, which would be the eastern most data center if approved.

“I have consistently opposed data centers near homes, schools and parks,” Jefferson said. “I have deep concerns about the proposed Potomac Technology Park project for that reason.”

Gordy, the Republican nominee, serves on the

Prince William County’s most controversial data center projects

As voters hit the polls, some Prince William County residents are calling on candidates for the board of supervisors to share how they would vote on five controversial data center rezoning proposals that have not yet been approved by the board. They include:

Gehlsen, Gordy’s Democratic opponent, said he also opposes all five projects and has concerns about data centers for environmental issues and infrastructure costs.

Coles District

Vega, the Republican nominee, opposes all five data projects.

Vega voted against the PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment and against the Village Place Technology Park but voted in favor of the Hunter property data center rezoning.

O’Connor, Vega’s Democratic challenger, did not respond to the survey, but told the Prince William Times he supports “the responsible development of data centers.”

“If done right, and in an environmentally sensitive way, they definitely have their benefits,” O’Connor said. “At the same time, I have major concerns about the building of data centers in close proximity to residential communities and schools,” he said.

Gainesville District

Weir, the Republican incumbent, said he opposes all five projects. Weir has been a longtime critic of data center developments in western Prince William and is unopposed in the Nov. 7 election.

Neabsco District

Angry did not respond to the survey and declined an interview with the Prince William Times.

Occoquan District

Justice, the Republican nominee, did not respond to the survey. “She’s not going to make a uniformed decision on the projects but will be evaluating the projects on a three-tier framework,” said her spokesman, Tim Parrish.

That framework includes information gathering, community input, financial considerations and then determining what is “in the best interest of constituents and their families,” according to a press release.

Boddye, the Democratic incumbent, did not respond to the survey but said in an interview that he is concerned that approving too many data centers will cut into land that should be used for housing.

“If we are constantly building data centers in certain places where there should be housing, we’re undermining (housing),” Boddye said. “There is a future where we should be able to build both of these in (different) areas of the county, where we’re fulfilling not only our need for a more robust commercial tax base ... but also making sure we’re not shooting ourselves in the foot by eating up a bunch of land that could be housing.”

Boddye voted in favor of the PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment as well as See DATA CENTERS, page 6

The Prince William Digital Gateway, a plan to open 2,100 acres adjacent to the Manassas National Battlefield Park to as many as 34 data centers, will likely be the first of the most controversial data center rezoning to come before the supervisors for a public hearing and vote. The board has scheduled public hearings for three rezonings tied to the project for Dec. 12.

A comprehensive plan amendment paving the way for the PW Digital Gateway was approved in a 5-2 party line vote in November 2022, with all five of the board’s Democratic incumbents—Chair Ann Wheeler (At Large) and Supervisors Victor Angry (Neabsco), Andrea Bailey (Potomac), Kenny Boddye (Occoquan) and Margaret Frankin (Woodbridge)—voting in favor and the two Republicans, Supervisors Jeanine Lawson (Brentsville) and Yesli Vega (Coles) voting against it.

The project has sparked intense opposition from the Manassas National Battlefield Park and national park nonprofits, nearby neighborhoods, including Heritage Hunt, as well as environmentalists, historians and conservationists.

Devlin Technology Park

Devlin Technology Park is a plan to build up to 11 data centers behind several neighborhoods along Devlin and Linton Hall roads in Bristow.

Residential developer Stanley Martin Homes won a rezoning in 2020 to build 516 homes on 270 acres that were once part of the failed Stonehaven development. Stonehaven unraveled in 2015, and its landowner won a rezoning in 2021 to open some of the area, known as the “Hunter property,” to data centers. Now Stanley Martin wants to do the same with its 270 acres.

The county planning commission recommended Devlin Technology Park’s approval in July 2022. In February, the supervisors voted unanimously to defer the project amid protests from nearby residents.

John Marshall Commons Technology Park

The John Marshall Commons Technology Park is a proposal to build two, 70-foot-tall data centers on 22 acres in Haymarket near Catharpin Road and John Marshall Highway. Current plans show the buildings about 300 feet from PACE West, a Prince William County alternative school for students in kindergarten through 12th grade with behavioral challenges.

The project follows Village Place Technology Park, four planned data centers approved across the street and beside the Village Place townhome and condominium community. The John Marshall Technology Park has been in limbo since March.

Bristow campus

Amazon Data Services is seeking to re-zone 59.6 acres north of Nokesville Road and east of Linton Hall Road for two three-story data centers up to 110 feet tall and an electrical substation.

The project lies outside of the county’s dedicated data center overlay district and on land owned by the nonprofit Youth for Tomorrow.

Potomac Technology Park

The Potomac Technology Park is a plan by Plaza Realty Management Inc. to rezone 51.67 acres next to Prince William Forest Park to allow for data centers. The project would run along the south side of Dumfries Road near the intersection of Dumfries and Bristow roads.

While the project is still in its planning phase, it is coming under fire from activists because of environmental concerns, including stormwater runoff and its proximity to Prince William Forest Park.

But Bailey said there is a “hold” on the Potomac Technology Park project “because (I do) not feel comfortable as to where we are and making a decision on that project.”

County officials issued comments on the project on Jan. 18, but there has not been progress since then, according to the county records.

Bailey said she believes the community needs to be better educated about data centers and not “fearful” of them.

“I really do believe data centers can bring financial resources to us,” Bailey said. “My concern is that the citizens are digging in their pockets to sustain our county; that is not good governing; and that is what we’ve been living with in the past.”

Bailey voted in favor of the PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment, the Village

Place Technology Park and the Hunter property data center rezoning.

LaCroix, the Republican nominee, said she opposes all five projects. “I believe that ALL supervisors should look at every proposed data center on a case-by-case basis,” she said in response to the survey.

“What is most important to me with regards to data centers is location suitability and environmental impact,” LaCroix said.

Franklin, the Democratic incumbent, did not respond to the survey and told the Prince William Times she is “not interested” in commenting on data center projects.

Franklin voted in favor of the PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment, the Village Place Technology Park and the Hunter property data center rezoning.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The PW Digital Gateway data centers will boost county’s commercial tax base I am writing to voice my support for the data center projects that will complete the vision of the Digital Gateway approved by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.

We must encourage the planning department and supervisors to move forward with the review now and vote on the applications in a timely

manner. The county needs to act quickly and execute on its vision for solutions to increase its commercial tax base, which is woefully lacking by normal standards Data centers are a great opportunity for the county to move forward economically and improve the lives of our residents in a meaningful

way. Just recently the county reported that data centers have generated more than $100 million in tax revenue for the county. Increasing our commercial tax base will offer relief to homeowners who now are burdened with too large a share of the county’s tax burden. If the county is to achieve its goal of a 30%

commercial tax base, data centers have to be built and quickly.

I urge the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and planning department to move forward soon so the county can receive the economic benefits from the Digital Gateway.

TOM WHITMORE Manassas

Rosie’s would be good for business in Manassas Park As the voice of business in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, the Prince William Chamber of Commerce fully endorses the location of a Rosie’s Gaming Emporium in Manassas Park and encourages residents in the city to vote yes during early balloting and on Nov. 7.

First and foremost, good business attracts more good businesses to any community.

The 1,300 businesses that make up the Prince William Chamber of Commerce know this all too well. We all work to support and promote one another. We know that when visitors come to Prince William, they are likely to make more than one stop. Entertainment offerings, in particular, attract outside visitors and their disposable income into an area. The proposed Rosie’s will bring live entertainment, a new restaurant and a bar to Manas-

sas Park all within their proposed development off Centreville Road.

Rosie’s will also bring an iconic brand and true community partner to Manassas Park. Owned by Churchill Downs, the operator of the Kentucky Derby, Rosie’s currently has an operation in the east side of the county in Dumfries. We have seen first-hand the community contributions, both in time and money, Rosie’s delivers. Management is available and accessible to build partnerships and work towards our shared goals to make Prince William a desired place to live and visit.

Second, Rosie’s will bring significant tax revenues to Manassas Park. The city will gain an estimated $1.5 million in new annual tax revenue from gaming, sales, meals, real estate and business personal property taxes. The city can use these revenues to reduce its real estate tax

rate or provide additional essential services to its residents.

Finally, Rosie’s will bring 150 new well-paying jobs to Manassas Park. Rosie’s will offer competitive wages and benefits. For our community and county to thrive, we need a strong workforce with varied skill sets. Workforce development is a key initiative of the chamber, and it is critical to have jobs available as we train new workers.

The Prince William Chamber of Commerce touts itself as a partner in business success.

Attracting quality businesses that provide new development, tax revenues and good jobs is the path to that success, and we are proud to support a new Rosie’s in Manassas Park.

Neabsco school board candidate served time for DUI, drug convictions

my company—and I was getting in this trouble, and I was just giving the money right back to the commonwealth for fines and fees.”

Blake said a judge once asked him: “What are you doing here?” and then told him: “You cannot have your feet on both sides of the fence.”

Blake said he took the advice to heart and worked hard to get his life back on track. Blake said he had his civil rights restored under former Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s (D) automatic restoration of rights program.

Tonya James, the chair of the Prince William County Democratic Committee, said her committee was aware of Blake’s history when they voted to endorse his candidacy for Neabsco school board member.

“Tracy is someone we as Americans want to support because he was able to rebound after going through the criminal justice system,” James said. “He came out the other side as a productive, law-abiding citizen and we are supportive of that.”

Having a felony conviction has made it difficult for him to get jobs despite his degrees, Blake said, so he and his wife Latrice, whom he met at George Mason, made the decision to “flip roles as breadwinners.” Blake said he has welcomed the opportunity to be home raising his children because he said, “dads are powerful.”

Over the past eight years, Blake said he has also been a volunteer leader on school division level committees under both former superintendent Steven Walts and Superintendent LaTonya McDade.

Blake faces two opponents in the race for the Neabsco District school board race: Stephen Spiker, who has been endorsed by the local Republican Committee, and Padreus Pratter, who has not been endorsed by either local party.

Blake is not the only local candidate with a criminal record. Both Carrie Rist, the Republican-endorsed candidate for school board chair, and Jim Gehlsen, the Democratic nominee for the Brentsville District supervisor’s seat, have past criminal convictions.

BLAKE, from page 1 Blake said that if elected he will focus on academic achievement, prioritize mental health services and social-emotional learning and work to increase parent engagement by improving communication among the school board, superintendent, teachers and families.

Blake grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, where his parents served in the U.S. Air Force. When the Air Force transferred Blake’s mother to Washington, D.C. in 1990, she was concerned about crime in the area, so she sent him to attend high school at Boys Town, a private Catholic boarding school in Nebraska, Blake said.

After graduating from high school, Blake attended Lincoln University and earned his undergraduate degree in 2000. Thereafter, he moved to Virginia, where his mother and stepfather resided, to attend George Mason University, where he earned a master’s degree in industrial and organizational psychology in 2003.

Blake said he started his own infrastructure management company shortly after graduating from George Mason and landed a government contract with the Virginia Department of Transportation to maintain commuter lots and beautify highways.

“Those Dutch Master daffodils you see coming up on the side of medians, my company did that,” he said.

Blake said he never had any trouble with the law until he suffered a traumatic family loss in his late 20s. He said it caused him to struggle with his mental health, which in turn triggered a years-long series of bad decisions and legal troubles.

“It was the darkest period of my life,” Blake said. “When I started to get into all that trouble … it was like some type of vicious cycle of the universe. The commonwealth was paying me—

Blake’s criminal history

Court records show that Blake’s legal issues began in Prince William County on Aug. 21, 2006, when he was 29 years old and was arrested in Triangle on a misdemeanor charge of driving on a revoked license.

Then, on Nov. 22, 2007, Blake was arrested for driving while intoxicated and was also charged with unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a controlled substance and driving on a revoked license, according to court records.

After pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated—1st offense, driving on a revoked license, possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance and carrying a concealed weapon—Blake was sentenced to five years of incarceration but spent only six months in jail after four and a half years of his sentence were suspended.

Three years later, on Nov. 7, 2010, Blake was arrested for reckless driving and driving under the influence, according to arrest records.

Blake pleaded guilty to driving on a suspended license and was sentenced to five years in jail with four years suspended and two years of supervised probation, court records said. Court records are unclear regarding how much jail time Blake served.

Blake was arrested again just over a year later on Dec. 27, 2011. Blake was charged with driving on a suspended license, refusing a blood alcohol test and failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing more than $500 in damage.

Blake pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failing to stop at the scene of an accident and was fined $100, according to court records.

While behind bars, Blake said he would “read, write and pray.” He said he knew he wasn’t meant to live his life incarcerated and believed he had more to offer society.

Laurel Ridge’s new trades center aims to propel grads into good jobs Staff Reports When Morgan Wylie was a senior at Kettle Run High School and looking for a way to start a career in construction trades, he came across Laurel Ridge’s course catalog and noticed a class that taught students how to operate heavy equipment on a video simulator.

He was intrigued.

“I knew I wasn’t going to take a university route because I had different goals,” he said. “I like my video games, and they offered an opportunity to try it out. That was a turning point for me.”

Wylie graduated from high school a semester early, enrolled at Laurel Ridge and began working as a construction laborer while taking classes.

Wylie is just one of many students who have found their way into careers through Laurel Ridge’s skilled trade programs—which, after almost 10 years, finally have a dedicated building on the Fauquier County campus.

Community and business leaders gathered Thursday, Oct. 12, at Laurel Ridge Community College for the grand opening of the new skilled trades center, a hands-on training

lab for electrical, plumbing, heavy equipment, welding, and heating and air conditioning programs.

The heavy equipment operator program was the first of its kind in the state for a community college.

The simulator that won Wylie over looks like a giant gaming system.

The student sits in a control chair and operates an animated construction vehicle on a screen. While Wylie was learning to operate equipment, his company gave him instruction on specific types of work, such as how to move dirt or lay a pipe.

Now he works as a paver for Chemung Construction Corporation, doing everything from driveways and parking lots to interstate highways. The night before the event he was repaving a state highway near Charlottesville.

“Laurel Ridge helped me with my career,” he said. “I was able to go to work in the field and in the classroom at the same time.”

The 8,000-square-foot skilled trades center sits on land owned by the college’s foundation at the back of its campus. It offers night classes for students who mostly work during the day and soon will add morning classes for

Congratulations Laurel Ridge Community College on your 35th Anniversary!

dual-enrolled students from local high schools in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. About 120 students are enrolled in the trades program, though dual enrollment has not yet begun, so there will be more soon.

Laurel Ridge launched its local building trades program in 2014. After a long search for space, it set up shop in half of an auxiliary gym at the Boys & Girls Club of Fauquier.

It was a very humble start,” said Jeanine Clark, the college’s vice president for workforce solutions and continuing education. “We started with one electrical level 1 program.”

The program moved twice more before landing on Laurel Ridge’s Fauquier campus. Along the way, it added other trade programs, including heating and air-conditioning, plumbing and welding.

“It’s been a dream of ours to fully expand those programs here,” Clark said.

Clarke said there is enormous demand for skilled trades workers. She cited an estimate that 3,500 skilled workers will be needed to build an estimated 694,000 homes in Northern Virginia over the next 20 years.

Right now, she said, the region has 143 unfilled heating and air condition-

ing jobs, 208 electrician jobs and 290 heavy construction jobs. All of those jobs pay well with average annual pay at $65,000 for heating and air-conditioning; $73,000 for electricians; and $56,000 for heavy equipment operators.

With the new skilled trades center, “We are able to offer state-ofthe-art spaces to be able to learn,” said Kim Blosser, the president of Laurel Ridge Community College.

After the ceremony, Jim Mitchell, the CEO of Superior Paving Corp. in Gainesville, and John Roddy, CEO of William A. Hazel, Inc., of Chantilly, watched event attendees try out the heavy equipment simulator.

Mitchell said he hired one of the heavy equipment graduates, but it wasn’t easy.

“There is a lot of competition for their graduates,” he said.

So much competition, in fact, that the companies who come to interview them have to sell themselves to the graduates.

“There are usually about six graduates of their program each time,” Roddy said. “Everybody interviews them and then the graduate picks somebody.”

‘We’re probably going to see them in the playoffs’ Battlefield wins Cedar Run District field hockey title by dispatching Patriot 3-1 in tiebreaker game

By Matthew Proctor Times Staff Writer

After splitting two head-to-head matches and beating everyone else in the Cedar Run District, the Battlefield and Patriot field hockey squads couldn’t separate themselves.

Bring on the tiebreaker.

In the winner-take-all showdown at Osbourn High to determine the regular season district champion and the No. 1 seed in the district tournament, the Bobcats clawed their way to a 3-1 victory behind two goals from Molly Douglas and one from Kyra Moran on Tuesday.

“We want to play our best game always, but especially vs. Patriot, we want to win,” said Moran, who teamed with Douglas to give Battlefield a potent scoring tandem.

“It was going to be a close game, but I was confident in our team because we worked hard at practice this week,” said Douglas, whose Bobcats (16-1) finished 12-1 in league play and will host No. 4 Gainesville (7-7, 5-6) in the first round of the district tournament on Thursday.

No. 2 seed Patriot (13-4, 11-2) next hosts No. 3 Freedom-South Riding (10-5, 9-4) on Thursday in another first round game.

The fierce rivals split earlier matches, with the Bobcats winning 3-1 on Sept. 11 in Haymarket and the Pioneers prevailing 1-0 on Oct. 5 in Nokesville. With both squads sweeping every other district opponent, a third match was needed to crown a champion.

“I felt like losing to them the last game, it was a wake up,” Battlefield coach Claire Gianelle said. “We really did work hard to pay attention to what happened last game, to adjust from what they did well and how to counter it.”

Gianelle said the Bobcats didn’t execute on their penalty corners in their loss to Patriot. With both of Douglas’ goals coming on penalty corners, she was pleased with how they bounced back. Douglas’ goals were the first Patriot allowed on the penalty corner in the last nine games.

“We were much more successful on corners tonight. And last time we had a lot of corners, but we didn’t finish on them. And so I felt like the girls really learned from it and then executed well,” said Gianelle.

Patriot coach Emily Ortiz said the Pioneers left a lot to be desired.

“We couldn’t connect our passes.

We weren’t aggressive on the ball.

We weren’t stepping to the ball. We weren’t communicating with each other. We just had a really lazy game.”

In a back-and-forth first quarter,

both teams pushed the ball deep into the shooting circle to create chances, but neither team was able to find the back of the net.

But the second quarter was all Battlefield as the Bobcats controlled the possession for nearly the entire 15-miunte period and found the back of the net twice.

One minute into the quarter, Aayla Burgo fired a cross from the right corner through some traffic to Kyra Moran a few yards out in front of the goal, who tapped it in for a 1-0 Battlefield lead.

While Burgo and Moran only combined for one goal, the forwards wreaked havoc throughout the entire quarter, creating chance after chance.

“We communicate really well and we have chemistry where we know where the other is going to be, which just makes it work super easily,” Moran said.

“Aayla really is so good at first touches. If you watch her, she knows how to get around a player and make a quick first touch that gives her the advantage. And Kyra’s got a really nice, clean reverse sweep that she can execute well. And I think that their speed together is something

that is detrimental to other teams,” Gianelle said.

Harassing the Pioneers’ back line all quarter, the Bobcats made it 2-0 in the final 30 seconds of the half. Molly Douglas played a penalty corner to Moran at the top of the circle then cut to the left post. Moran fired it back to Douglas on the doorstep for another close-range goal and a 2-0 lead.

“Molly’s actually a defender who we’ve brought down to do some inserts because she’s just got a really clean, nice insert,” Gianelle said. “We got her in the mix a lot more and she was really doing a great job snagging those goals off of the post or getting in the mix to bury it off the pads.”

Patriot closed to 2-1 in the opening minutes of the third quarter. After earning their first penalty corner of the game the Pioneers scored on a Faith Fernandez snipe from the top of the circle.

“Faith is an incredible athlete.

She’s only a sophomore, and she is just so strong. I’m looking forward to her junior season because I think that’s when the maturity is going to come as well, and it’s really all going to click,” said Ortiz.

Senior forward Kyra Moran scored one goal and tallied an assist in Battlefield’s 3-1 win over Patriot on Tuesday.

Patriot’s Gaby Shaw is also pictured.

Battlefield got that goal back at the end of the quarter on Douglas’ second goal to lead 3-1.

Douglas scored on the same exact play that the Bobcats ran on her first penalty corner goal, this time with the assist coming from her sister Caroline.

“That was a fun connection,” Douglas said of teaming up with her sister to find the back of the net.

Moran said that the first penalty corner goal wasn’t a set play, but since it worked, they decided to run it again. “Coming into Patriot, we knew we needed to bring some new ideas and things we were going to use, so we worked really hard in practice,” Moran said. “We knew it worked so we kept going.”

In a relatively uneventful fourth quarter, neither side placed a shot on goal as Battlefield held on to win 3-1.

With the district tournament looming, the Bobcats and Pioneers know a fourth meeting is likely in the district final on Oct. 23. Battlefield won last season’s district title game 2-0 against Patriot.

“We’re probably going to see them again in the playoffs. But we’ll be ready,” said Moran.

Is buying a home in a high-interest rate environment a prudent decision?

By Tyler Ross

Ross R eal Estate

The decision to purchase a home is invariably complex. While it’s proven out over time that one of the most approachable, consistent and reliable ways to build wealth is through home ownership, it’s not always the obvious choice in the “here and now.”

As we see playing out in the news daily, interest rates play a pivotal role in influencing the market as a whole, but more importantly for you, your own decision as a buyer. As is presently the case, when the environment skews toward high interest rates, potential homeowners often find themselves at crossroads, mulling over the viability of the commitment of a mortgage and home ownership.

To make an informed decision,

it’s crucial to weigh the advantages and drawbacks. It’s my hope the following will provide you with some insight as you make your own personal decision.

Advantages

One of the primary advantages of participating in a housing market during periods of elevated interest rates is the potential for less competition. Many potential buyers have been dissuaded by the cost of borrowing.

What was recently a market where sometimes a dozen offers well over list price came in the first weekend after a home listed has shifted to one where homes see an offer or two in the first few weeks. Despite low inventory, buyers are having more success securing a home earlier in their shopping efforts.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of Virginia’s policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Commonwealth. We encourage and support advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, age, familial status, or national origin.

All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Virginia and federal fair housing laws, which make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or elderliness, or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.”

This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis.

For more information or to file a housing complaint, call the Virginia Fair Housing office at 804-367-8530 or toll-free at 888-551-3247. For the hearing impaired, call 804-367-9753.

EMAIL: fairhousing@dpor.virginia.gov WEBSITE: dpor.virginia.gov/fairhousing

Additionally, the diminished demand improves the buyers’ position during negotiations, as sellers are more amenable to price adjustments and inspections and certainly more favorable terms than were available just months ago.

Furthermore, as the financial world is dynamic, interest rates do not remain static. A decision to buy during a high-interest period might pave the way for future opportunities. Should rates continue to go up, locking in a rate now looks pretty good. Better yet, if rates decrease, homeowners could refinance their mortgages to potentially reduce their monthly commitments.

Challenges and pitfalls

The primary challenge presented by high interest rates is the obvious one: an increase in monthly mortgage payments. For many buyers, this immediate implication limits the range of properties within their budget.

Another potential detriment to consider is the influence of high-interest rates on broader market dynamics.

Historically, there have been instances where elevated interest rates have dampened demand, leading to stagnation or even a decrease in property values. Such scenarios can be especially precarious for new homeowners who might see their property’s value diminish shortly after purchase.

Factors to ponder

Given this backdrop, several considerations become paramount for potential buyers. Firstly, individual financial health is what I’d consider to be the most important factor in a decision.

Additionally, the intended dura-

tion of stay in a purchased property is extremely pivotal. For those envisioning a long-term residence, fluctuations in interest rates and home values might be less consequential.

Conversely, for individuals looking at shorter durations of homeownership or whose future sales may be subject to their work or other externality, the prevailing market conditions might hold more sway in their decision-making.

I also hear frequently “I’ll buy when rates come back down” or when “the values of homes crash.”

While I’ve said the same thing myself, the only thing proven consistently is the market (housing, stock or tulip) cannot be reliably or consistently timed and that the trend over a long enough timeline has always been up. If Ray Dalio and Cathie Wood can’t time the top or bottom, I know I can’t either. I suggest a buyer rely on their own circumstances.

Lastly, prospective homeowners need also to be deliberate in their borrowing and buying approach. Be certain to have competent and empathetic guidance along the way. Be sure your shepherds have your priorities at heart.
