When former President Donald Trump was sworn into office in January 2016, Prince William County was a stronghold for Republicans in Democratic-leaning Northern Virginia. The party held six of the county’s eight House seats, a majority of seats on the board of county supervisors and was home to conservative firebrands like Ken Cuccinelli, Corey Stewart, former state senator Dick Black and former delegate Bob Marshall.

But the GOP’s momentum in Prince William County came to a screeching halt after Trump was elected. In 2017 and 2019, Prince William voters elected Democrats to every state Senate and House seat except one and gained a majority on the board of supervisors for the first time in decades. It was an unprecedented political shift in a county that was largely written off as unwinnable for Democrats in previous cycles.

A $300 million, four-lane bypass planned for Manassas that aims to relieve traffic congestion on Va. 28 and other regional roads took another step forward Tuesday and could result in the taking of several more homes than county officials initially estimated.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved on Tuesday, Oct. 19, a $15 million contract with WSP USA Inc., a multinational engineering firm, for the design of the Va. 28 bypass. The contract was approved in a party-line vote with all five Democrats voting to approve the contract, and all three Republicans voting against it.

Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, pulled the contract’s approval off the board’s consent agenda, but there was no discussion among supervisors before the vote.

Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic nominee for governor, meets with supporters in Woodbridge.

But with Trump out of the White House and President Joe Biden’s approval rating sliding into the negatives, local Republican officials see an opportunity to retake several House of Delegates seats they lost. Meanwhile, local Democrats say the Nov. 2 contest will confirm Prince William’s status as blue county once and for all.

Prince William County supervisors are considering whether they will pursue building a pedestrian bridge over U.S. 15 near Battlefield High School following the death of 13-year-old Haymarket boy who was struck and killed by a minivan while crossing the seven-lane roadway Tuesday afternoon.

The boy was heading from the nearby Dominion Valley subdivision toward Battlefield High School at about 12:30 p.m. when he was struck. He was taken to an area hospital where he died of his injuries, according to police.

In response to the incident, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, at the request of Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, directed County Executive Chris Martino to start drafting a plan to build a pedestrian bridge at the intersection of U.S. 15 and Graduation Drive so students and others can cross the busy roadway safely.

Community transmission remains high, county reports 10 more deaths Staff Reports Prince William County remained in the high category for community transmission of COVID-19 this past week with 120 cases per 100,000 residents – a slight decrease from last week but still a level at which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends mask-wearing inside public places.

Meanwhile, hospitalizations were down, but the average number of cases reported daily is about the as same last week at 94.

And deaths, a lagging indicator, spiked to 10 locally over the last seven days.

The latest fatalities include one resident in their 30s, one in their 40s, two in their 50s, and six in their 70s, according to Virginia Department of Health data.

All of the recent fatalities were residents of Prince William County, which has now lost a total of 556 people to COVID-19, while Manassas has lost 51 and Manassas Park, 12.

Across Virginia, case levels remain “very high” but are declining in most areas of the state. Thirty-one health districts are in declining trajectories, and only one is in a slow

growth trajectory, according to the most recent report from the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute.

Still, the institute is warning that the high case levels, combined with a substantial unvaccinated population, could lead to “a significant holiday surge” that could match last year’s spike, the report warns.

“Cases are declining in most health districts, yet, as we entered October, were at level three times higher than seen last October,” the report notes. “While declining trajectories are good sign, high case levels may provide a better foundation for a holiday surge than existed last year. There is a large enough unvaccinated population that we could see a repeat of last year’s surge.”

The CDC and VDH continue to urge Virginians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as they are eligible. Flu shots are also being urged as this year’s flu season could be worse than last, when cases were negligible largely because masking and social distancing protocols were still in place.

With those restrictions lifting, the UVA Biocomplexity Institute and VDH see a possibility for higher levels of flu this season, the report says.

Prince William Health District weekly COVID-19 report Level of Community Transmission: HIGH (120.3 cases per 100,000 residents) 60,773 Cases (Up 708) 2,261 Hospitalizations (Up 15) 619 Deaths (Up 10) 5.8% Percent-positivity rate (Unchanged)

County schools report 5 more outbreaks as quarantines, isolations rise

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Bennett Elementary School returned to in-person instruction this week after switching to virtual last week due to high numbers of students and staff isolating or quarantining because of COVID-19.

But the Virginia Department of Health reported five more outbreaks at two additional Prince William County schools on Friday, Oct. 15, including at Buckland Mills Elementary in Gainesville, which has four separate outbreaks – the highest number of any school in Virginia since the school year began.

Meanwhile, also as of Oct. 15, the overall number of students and staff across the school division who were isolating or quarantining due to COVID-19 had risen about 25% from the previous week.

Also, some known COVID-19 outbreaks at local schools have still not yet been reported on the VDH dashboard, including the one at Bennett Elementary, where 305 students – or about 40% of the school’s enrollment -- were isolating or quarantining at home as of Friday, Oct. 15.

Of those students, 34 were in isolation due to a probable or positive case of COVID-19, while 271 were quarantining due to being close contacts, according to the school division’s COVID-19 dashboard. As of Wednesday, Oct. 20, however, the numbers had dropped considerably: No students were isolating, while 24 were in quarantine.

Sean Morris, a COVID-19 epidemiologist for the Prince William Health District, said reporting and laboratory lags have delayed some school-based outbreaks from ap-

pearing on the VDH dashboard.

“All of the outbreaks have not been posted at this time,” Morris said Friday.

New, existing outbreaks

As of Friday, Oct. 15, the VDH was reporting eight outbreaks at four Prince William County schools, with the most recent occurring at Buckland Mills Elementary and at The Nokesville School, one of the county’s three K-8 schools.

At Buckland Mills Elementary, located in the Somerset Crossing subdivision in Gainesville, there are four separate outbreaks, all identified on Oct. 5. One involves seven cases while the other three involve fewer than five cases each, according to VDH. Morris said schools can have multiple outbreaks if they occur in different classrooms or extracurricular settings but are otherwise unconnected.

“Due to the fact that students may be exposed to COVID in the community [and] then spread it at school, sometimes we have pockets of outbreaks that occur around the same time and at the same school but are not related to each other,” he said.

As of Oct. 20, Buckland Mills Elementary had fewer than 10 students isolating or quarantining, according to the school division’s COVID-19 dashboard.

The outbreak at The Nokesville School was first identified on Oct. 5 and involves seven cases, according to VDH. As of Oct. 20, there were fewer than 10 students in isolation and quarantine at The Nokesville School, according to the school divi-

sion’s COVID-19 dashboard.

Other state-reported “outbreaks in progress” are occurring at Yorkshire Elementary, on Old Centreville Road in Manassas, where the state is reporting five cases, and at Sudley Elementary, near Splashdown Water Park, where the state is reporting 22 cases.

The school division is reporting fewer than 10 students isolating at both Sudley and Yorkshire, but the schools had 10 and 21 students, respectively, in quarantine, as of Oct. 20.

The outbreak at Potomac High School, which involved 11 cases, now an “outbreak pending closure,” meaning no related cases have been reported in the past 28 days, according to VDH. Potomac High had fewer than five students in isolation or quarantine as of Friday, Oct. 15.

Overall isolations, quarantines up over the past week

Across the county, the total number of students and staff in isolation or quarantining due to COVID-19 was on the rise last week after falling during the previous week.

As of Oct. 15, there were 48 staff members and 202 students isolating for having COVID-19, an increase of 37% and 25%, respectively, from one week ago.

At the same time, 16 staff members and 1,195 students were home quarantining due to an exposure to COVID-19, increases of 60% and 35%, respectively, from last week.

As of Oct. 20, the numbers had receded again to 34 staff and 177 students in isolation across the school division, while 11 staff members and 811 students were in quarantine.

Planning director resigns amid land-use policy changes

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County’s latest planning director, Parag Agrawal, has resigned after less than a year on the job.

Agrawal, 44, announced his resignation to Prince William County planning commissioners in an email Friday. The note said he was leaving his post as the head of the county’s planning department to “pursue other opportunities.

Agrawal’s resignation follows the announcement last week that County Executive Chris Martino – who holds the county’s top staff post -- planned to leave at the end of the year.

Martino is retiring after a 26-year career with the county. As of Monday morning, Agrawal had yet to respond to requests for comment about his resignation.

Deputy County Executive and former planning director Rebecca Horner will fill in as planning director while the county seeks to hire a replacement for Agrawal, according to a separate email obtained by the Prince William Times.

The county’s planning commission, an eight-member board appointed by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, is also undergoing some turnover. Longtime commissioners Patti McKay (Brentsville) and former chairman Bill Milne (Neabsco) announced their resignations in recent weeks.

Despite that turnover, however, current Chairman Don Taylor (At Large) sought to downplay any speculation that the resignations are a sign of strife or philosophical disagreements among the county’s planning commissioners or within the planning department.

Taylor said Sunday he did not know the reasons behind Agrawal’s decision but added: “There’s

overlay district,” as well as a massive, 800-acre data center campus proposed for several parcels along Pageland Lane bordering the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

In addition to those changes, officials are in the midst of revising the county’s long-term planning blueprint known as the “comprehensive plan,” which has not been updated in more than a decade.

In his email to the planning commission, Agrawal noted some of the accomplishments of his short tenure.

“By working together as a team, we have accomplished a lot. The county’s comprehensive plan is way further along,” he wrote. “The current planning team has recently processed many difficult land entitlement applications.”

Since his hiring in December 2020, Agrawal had already overseen several contentious landuse matters, including special-use permits for COURTESY PHOTO data centers sited outside the existing data center overlay district as well as “small area plans” deParag Agrawal, Prince William County’s planning signed to allow denser residential and commercial director, announced his resignation on Oct. 15. development in several areas of the county.

Local state House candidates debate vaccine mandates, minimum wage

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Candidates running for the Virginia House of Delegates in the Manassas-area 13th and 50th Districts sparred in debates on Thursday, Oct. 14, about vaccine mandates for public schools, raising the minimum wage and repealing Virginia’s “right-to-work” law.

The first debate was between Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, and her Republican challenger, Christopher Stone, who are vying to represent Virginia’s 13th District, which spans Manassas Park and Gainesville. The second debate was between Democrat Michelle Maldonado and Republican Dr. Steve Pleickhardt who are running in the 50th District in the City of Manassas and western Prince William County.

The events, held only online via Zoom, were moderated by Northern Virginia Community College Manassas campus Provost Molly Lynch and sponsored by the Prince William Committee of 100.

A question about whether candidates would support COVID-19 vaccine requirement for public schools and businesses drew heated discussion in both debates. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging all who are eligible get the vaccine, which it has declared safe and effective.

In the 13th District debate, the GOP challenger Stone said vaccines and masks “should not be mandated for schools and businesses” and that “vaccines should be a choice made by the individual and their doctor.”

Stone also downplayed the rising COVID-19 death toll, which has killed more than 720,000 Americans as of mid-October, including more than 13,000 Virginia and more than 600 in the Prince William Health District “No one wants to see people die. But the fact is that we have 350 million people in this country and less than one-100th of a percent of people that have died. I don’t want to see anybody die, but this is a choice,” Stone said.

Stone, 40, is an Air Force veteran, an Air Force National Guardsman and an adjunct professor at Missouri State University’s Washington, D.C. campus.

Roem did not directly say whether she would support vaccine mandates for schools and businesses but said that anyone that works “with someone who is immunocompromised” or “with people who aren’t old enough to be eligible for the vaccine” should be vaccinated against COVID-19.

“That’s just public safety,” Roem said.

Roem, 37, is a former newspaper journalist.

She was elected to represent the 13th District in 2017 and re-elected in 2019. She is the first transgender lawmaker ever elected to the Virginia General Assembly.

In the 50th District, Pleickhardt, the Republican nominee, said he opposes any vaccine requirements

Pleickhardt, 62, is a practicing dentist. He owns American Dental Associates in Bristow. This is his first time running for political office.

Maldonado said she supports requiring the COVID-19 vaccine in schools, “just like any other vaccine [required to attend] school,” and supports requiring frontline healthcare professionals to get the COVID-19 vaccine as well. Maldonado also said she supports keeping mask requirements in schools, hospitals and military installations while COVID-19 remains a threat.

Maldonado, 52, is a small business owner and former attorney. She has never run for political office.

Minimum wage, “right-to-work”

The candidates also clashed over economic issues like raising the minimum wage and repealing the commonwealth’s “right-to-work” laws.

The Virginia General Assembly voted in 2020 to begin incrementally increasing Virginia’s minimum wage from the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour by 2026. The hourly minimum wage rose from $7.25to $9.50 in July 2021 and will increase again to $11 on Jan. 1, 2022.

In the 50th District debate, Maldonado said she supports raising the minimum wage to $15.

Maldonado said Virginians should make a living wage that “brings them above the poverty line.”

“Nobody should work more than 40 hours a week and still not be able to make ends meet. No one should put that kind of time into somebody else’s business and not receive proper benefits and compensation,” Maldonado said.

Pleickhardt said he was opposed to increasing the minimum wage and said, “a minimum wage of $12 or $15 or more will kill businesses” in Northern Virginia.

Maldonado also said she is in favor of repealing Virginia’s 75-year-old “right-to-work” law, which prevents unions from forcing workers to pay union dues as a condition of their employment, effectively weakening organized labor. Maldonado said her parents were union educators, and that unions were the reason the United States has a 40hour work week and time off on weekends.

Pleickhardt said he opposes repealing “rightto-work,” calling it a “terrible thing” that would require employees to pay dues to unions to remain employed, and that repealing it would result in lost jobs and revenue for Virginia.

In the 13th District debate, Stone said he opposes raising the minimum wage. He said minimum wage jobs are meant to be “starter jobs” to “get [low-wage earners] used to using money” and that raising the minimum wage will “hurt more people than it helps.”

Roem said she was proud of her vote in the General Assembly to increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2026. She said there is “nowhere in the 13th District that a minimum wage job that adults are working can actually allow you to afford rent.”

Housing costs in the Northern Virginia region and Prince William County have long been a problem facing low-income individuals. Rent and home prices have skyrocketed across the region since the pandemic began because of rising home values.

Roem also said she is in favor of repealing right-to-work in Virginia. Earlier this year, Roem was one of only 13 Virginia delegates who voted in favor of forcing a floor vote on repealing right-to-work in the House of Delegates. Roem said Virginia voters had spoken in 2016 when they rejected a ballot referendum that would have enshrined the law into the Virginia Constitution.

“In the 13th District, a majority of voters voted against that. And when that happened, that was the only marching order I needed on this to know what was the right thing to get done for the people who I represent,” Roem said.

Stone said Virginia should remain a right-towork state “because working men and women should have the choice of whether or not they want to be in a union.”

Early voting has begun in Virginia. The last day to vote in the election for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and Virginia House of Delegates candidates is Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Planning director resigns amid land-use policy changes DIRECTOR, from page 3 “All of that is still in process, and no final decisions have been made,” Taylor said. “The jury is still out.”

McKay, who had served on the planning commission for seven years, said Saturday she was “very surprised” to learn of Agrawal’s resignation but knew nothing about the “background behind it.”

As for her own resignation, McKay said the decision was largely a personal one made out of a desire to spend more time on her farm and with her family. “I needed more time in my life to do the things I’m passionate about,” she said.

McKay, however, expressed frus-

tration with some of the board of county supervisors’ recent land-use decisions that have been unpopular with western Prince William County residents. She said she sought to represent the residents’ interests during her seven years on the planning commission -- “not the fat cats or the developers” -- but those who have “bought homes and invested in the county.”

“That’s something that I felt was certainly missing with this board,” she said of the supervisors.

Milne, a retired Coast Guard officer, served as chairman of the planning commission for three years before resigning on Oct. 4. He was on the planning commission for a total

of six years under appointments from former supervisors Mike May and Ruth Anderson, both Republicans who represented the Occoquan District, and had most recently been appointed by Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco. Angry is only supervisor who has so far voiced his strong support for the so-called “PW Digital Gateway” proposal to allow data centers to be built along Pageland Lane in the rural crescent.

In an interview Saturday, Milne declined to say why he decided to resign, but cited other commitments, including his involvement in a new private Christian school in Lorton run by his adult daughter.

Milne also said he was “not surprised” to learn of Agrawal’s resignation but declined to say why. He also declined to say more about his own decision to leave the planning commission.

“My decision of why I departed is going to be left unsaid,” Milne said.

McKay said Agrawal was well liked by the planning commissioners and would be missed.

“He was a very kind gentleman, very open to anything we needed,” McKay said. “He was approachable and as even-keeled as he could be.”

Va. elections a battle for the ’burbs

ELECTIONS, from page 1

Virginians will elect a new governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and all 100 seats in the House of Delegates this November.

GOP sees reasons for optimism

Polls show an increasingly close race between Democratic candidate and former governor Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin, with some political pundits rating it a toss-up. Youngkin has held several campaign events in Prince William since June, drawing close to 100 attendees each time.

Willie Deutsch, vice chair on the Prince William Republican Committee, said frustration with the Biden administration and lagging enthusiasm among Democrats could give Republicans the edge in statewide races, and catapult Republicans back into control of the Virginia House of Delegates where Democrats hold a slim 55-45 majority. With eight seats in Prince William County up for grabs, a few wins could decide which party takes majority control in Richmond next year.

“Right now, the national environment is changing significantly. Joe Biden’s favorables are in a really bad spot. People that turned out to the polls to oppose Donald Trump just don’t have that same energy,” Deutsch said.

Deutsh said the Prince William-area seats most likely to break for Republicans this year are the 40th District, where Harold Pyon is challenging Del. Dan Helmer (D), and the 31st District, where Ben Baldwin is challenging Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D). Helmer and Guzman both won their races by fewer than 6 points in 2019. Prior to 2016, those districts had not voted for a Democrat for years. Both races are being targeted by national organizations such as the Republican State Leadership Committee.

If Republicans were to retake the state House in 2021, it would likely impede major Democratic-led initiatives that still need following through, such as setting up a regulatory system for the sale of recreational marijuana and continuing the commonwealth’s minimum wage increase to $15 by 2026.

Deutsch said campaign messaging on “kitchen table issues,” such as transportation, education and bipartisan solution-seeking, would deliver wins for them on Election Day, although some local candidates have veered toward more conservative fare.

Two Prince William County-area House races are expected to be most competitive this year: the 31st District race, where incumbent Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D), first from left, faces GOP challenger Ben Baldwin, second from left, and the 40th District race, where incumbent Del. Dan Helmer (D), third from left, faces GOP challenger Harold Pyon, fourth from left.

2nd District, has posted videos of herself firing an AR-15 rifle on social media; Chris Stone, the GOP candidate challenging Del. Danica Roem (D) in the 13th District, has said undocumented children should not be allowed in public schools; Pyon attacked Helmer, who is Jewish, with a mailer deemed anti-Semitic; and 51st District candidate Tim Cox has said he supports banning abortion “from the moment of conception.”

Those positions could spell trouble in Prince William County, which has rejected more conservative candidates in recent elections. Corey Stewart, who ran a divisive campaign for U.S. Senate against Sen. Tim Kaine (D) in 2018 and was serving as the at-large chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors at the time of the election, lost Prince William by 32 points.

Democrats outraise their GOP opponents 4 to 1

Fundraising woes might also be adding to GOP concern about local House races. Republican candidates in the area are being massively outraised by their Democratic opponents by nearly four-toone this year, a sign the state GOP committee is focusing its efforts elsewhere.

Fundraising is one reason Democratic officials and politicos are feeling bullish on their chances to hold onto local gains made during the Trumpera. Prince William Democratic Committee Chair Tonya James said increasingly large fundraising hauls are “the writing on the wall” in Prince William County, where Democrats have raised millions more than their opponents.

“Fundraising is one of the indicators as to how enthusiastic voters are about a candidate’s message. And the bottom line is, Virginians want what’s happening in Virginia to continue to happen and that shows up directly in fundraising,” James said.

Ben Tribbett, a Virginia Democratic consultant who has worked on Prince William County campaigns in past elections, is predicting an easy win for Democrats in the county on election night, with the exception of the 40th District, which straddles the more conservative swaths of both Prince William and Fairfax counties.

“I think you’re going to see the county easily vote for the Democratic ticket. And you’re going see a couple of delegate races that might be [decided by a margin in the] high single digits, and you’ll see one competitive race, which is the 40th District.

The storyline of the night will be that some of these seats that flipped four years ago will be put away once and for all, and we won’t even talk about them being competitive in the future,” Tribbett said.

Tribbett said the most densely populated areas of Prince William County – Woodbridge, Dale City and Dumfries –have become increasingly Democratic in recent years, even more so than Arlington County. “That’s an incredibly tough mountain for the Republicans to climb for districts that include those areas,” Tribbett said.

House districts on the eastern side of the county were gerrymandered in 2011 to stretch from populous Democratic-leaning areas of Prince William County to rural, western areas of Prince William, Fauquier and Stafford counties that typically vote Republican. Those seats were reliable Republican districts earlier in the decade but flipped to the Democrats in 2017.

Still, with Youngkin polling well in Virginia, and enthusiasm bubbling at campaign events for the statewide ticket, Deutsch said Republicans believe they have a decent shot at riding that enthusiasm to big wins this year for the first time in a decade.

Supervisors OK $15 million design contract for Va. 28 bypass VA. 28, from page 1 The new road would extend Godwin Drive in Manassas beyond Va. 234 Business to cut a new, four-lane road between the West Gate and Loch Lomond subdivisions to reconnect with Va. 28 at the Fairfax County line. At $300 million, the bypass would be one of the most expensive infrastructure projects in Prince William County history.

The project will be funded in large part by Prince William County taxpayers who authorized $200 million in new road bonds for the bypass in a 2019 referendum. Another $89 million will be funded by the regional Northern Virginia Transportation Authority.

County officials initially said the bypass would result in the taking

through eminent domain of an estimated 54 homes in the neighborhoods adjacent to the bypass and between seven and 10 mobile homes at Bull Run Mobile Home Park in Yorkshire. Dozens of residents who feared they would lose their homes voiced their opposition during public hearings last year, including many mobile home park residents who said they were never informed by the county that the project would impact the park.

It now appears that 16 mobile homes could be taken to make way for the bypass -- six to nine more than initial estimates, according to the contract approved Tuesday.

Most of the people who live in the park are Hispanic. Mobile home parks are among the last remaining affordable housing options left in

Prince William County where housing costs are quickly increasing.

The bypass has been strongly opposed by the board’s three Republican members, Vega and Supervisors Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville and Pete Candland, R-Gainesville.

It is also opposed by Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, who serves on the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority and represents Manassas Park, Yorkshire and parts of western Prince William.

Those elected officials have said they oppose the bypass in large part because of its impact on constituents who could lose their homes. But some have also raised concerns that the bypass is planned for an environmentally sensitive area bordering Flat Branch stream. Much of the bypass is planned to be built within a

FEMA-designated floodplain, a 100year flood hazard zone and the Chesapeake Bay Act’s Resource Protection Area.

The design contract states that extensive floodplain and stream restoration analysis will take place during the design of the bypass.

County Transportation Director Ric Canizales has stated in the past that the construction of the bypass would likely require the restoration of Flat Branch stream to help reduce the impact of flooding in the area.

The Va. 28 bypass’ design is expected to be complete in 2022 or 2023, and construction could be completed by 2026 or 2027 if all goes according to plan, according to county officials.

Glenn Youngkin pitches tax cuts, ‘school choice’ at Manassas rally

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin drew nearly 100 supporters to a campaign rally in downtown Manassas Monday afternoon. Recent polls show an increasingly close race between Youngkin and his Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe heading into the final stretch of the 2021 election cycle.

At the campaign stop, Youngkin outlined his vision for the commonwealth on issues such as taxes, education and the economy, and said he wants to stand up to the “liberal, progressive agenda that’s been trying to turn Virginia into ‘California east.’”

The event was held at 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 18, outside the Manassas Republican Committee office on Center Street in downtown Manassas.

Youngkin said his first act as governor would be to lower the cost of living in Virginia by cutting taxes.

He said he would eliminate state and local taxes on groceries, suspend a 5-cent increase of the gas tax, and use $1.6 billion of Virginia’s revenue surplus to provide Virginians with a one-time, $300 tax rebate. Youngkin has estimated his tax relief

plan could cost $1.8 billion in onetime costs with recurring tax cuts amounting to $1.4 billion per year.

“We’re going to declare the largest tax rebate in the history of Virginia,” Youngkin said at the rally.

Cutting the commonwealth’s grocery tax alone would cost more than $500 million annually in Virginia, Stephen Haner, a state tax policy expert at the Thomas Jefferson Institute, said in an interview with WVTF. Suspending the gas tax would eliminate an additional $200 million from Virginia’s transportation fund used to pay for roads, transit and rail projects.

Youngkin drew the loudest applause for his plans to revamp Virginia schools, which he said are “failing our children.” He said he would improve Virginia’s school system by opening more charter schools and by launching “the most aggressive school choice program in the history of Virginia.” Youngkin said Virginia has only seven charter schools statewide while nearby North Carolina and Maryland each have more than 100 charter schools.

“We’re going to launch 20 charter schools on day one. It is a down

Charter schools are publicly funded, tuition-free and independently run. Around 3 million students attend charter schools in 43 states.

Most charter schools are in urban areas, and a disproportionate number of charter school students are Black and Hispanic, according to a 2019 report from the Brookings Institution.

Youngkin also promised to make record-breaking investments in Virginia public schools and increase

teacher salaries. McAuliffe has also said he would also boost teacher salaries above the national average and invest $2 billion annually in Virginia schools if elected.

Youngkin said he would ban “critical race theory” from being taught in Virginia schools, although critical race theory is not currently part of Virginia’s education curriculum. Youngkin said he would not “allow a political agenda to be in our classrooms that will absolutely tell our children that they have to view everything through a lens of race.”

Pedestrian bridge proposed for U.S. 15 after fatal crash U.S. 15, from page 1

“We have a perfect storm. You have hundreds of kids each morning walking across [U.S. 15]. I drive there almost every morning taking my son to school, and they’re crossing seven lanes of traffic,” Candland said. “... The intersection at 15 and Graduation Drive has been a source of a lot of concern over the years.”

Building a pedestrian bridge there is not a new idea. Candland said his office has approached the Virginia Department of Transportation about constructing a pedestrian bridge there several times over the last decade, first in 2012, then again in 2015, and again just a few months ago. Each time, Candland said VDOT officials said a pedestrian bridge was not warranted at the intersection, and instead added other minor traffic improvements.

“We have hit dead ends multiple times over the years, but I’m hopeful that we’ll have some progress this time,” Candland said.

It is not known when the proposal could come back before the board of county supervisors for a vote, or how much it would cost. The Fairfax Board of County Supervisors voted earlier this month to approve a $12 million pedestrian bridge over Wiehle Avenue in Reston, Virginia.

Pedestrian and vehicle crash deaths are at three-year high in Prince William County, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles crash database. There have been six pedestrians killed by vehicle drivers in 2021 and 24 total vehicle crash deaths, the most recorded in the county since 2018.

Glenn Youngkin pitches tax cuts, ‘school choice’ at Manassas rally YOUNGKIN, from page 7 Critical race theory has become a conservative flashpoint in the last year. But the term was first coined in 1989 by attorney and scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw and has its roots in 1970s legal writings of Derrick Bell, the first tenured African American law professor at Harvard University. One of its central tenets is that racism is structural rather than only personal, and that laws and institutional practices can have racist outcomes without racist intent.

Conservative lawmakers in some states are passing anti-critical race theory bills. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill in September prohibiting educators from teaching certain concepts about race, including “that slavery and racism are anything other than deviations from ... the authentic founding principles.” Education groups and teachers unions have pushed back on new laws that would restrict teaching about race and racism in school.

McAuliffe said during a recent debate that Youngkin is using critical race theory as a “big dog whistle.”

Youngkin also outlined his plan to boost Virginia’s economy by adding hundreds of thousands of jobs, cutting regulations and declaring a 12-month tax holiday for small businesses in Virginia. Youngkin said his plan would create 400,000 jobs

and 10,000 startup businesses to boost the economy, although he did not get into specifics about how he would accomplish those goals.

Youngkin has claimed that Virginia has had zero job growth between 2013, when McAuliffe first took office, and 2020, a claim recently analyzed by economists in a Virginia Mercury article. Virginia added 492,000 jobs between the end of the Great Recession in 2010 and February 2020, said to Bob McNab, an economics professor at Old Dominion University, in an interview with Virginia Mercury. Those gains were temporarily wiped out by the pandemic in 2020, McNab said, but the commonwealth has since rebounded, adding about 314,000 jobs since then.

Youngkin is running alongside former delegate Winsome Sears for Virginia lieutenant governor and Del. Jason Miyares, R-82nd, for Virginia attorney general.

McAuliffe is running with Del. Hala Ayala, D-51st, for lieutenant governor and incumbent Attorney General Mark Herring, who is seeking a third term. All 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates are up for grabs.

Early voting has begun in Virginia. The last day to vote is Tuesday, Nov. 2.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Even after legalization, Marijuana charges disproportionately affect our Black, low-income neighbors I am writing in response to the article titled, “Virginia seals 64,000 marijuana distribution charges,” published on your [website] Oct. 15. The specific part of this article I am responding to is the part that mentioned that the legalization legislation does not address those currently imprisoned on marijuana charges.

I believe that this is a race issue since marijuana charges disproportionately affect Black men. In 2019, Black people accounted for over half of the marijuana cases in Virginia, with the arrest rate being 3.5 times higher for Black Virginians than for white Virginians and the conviction rate also being 3.9 times higher for Black people than their white counterparts.

Not only is this a race issue, but it is also a social class issue. If you

take into account that white people make up 61% of Virginia’s population and Black people are less than 20%, statistics from Data USA regarding social class and poverty make you realize that almost 17% of Virginia’s Black population is living in poverty compared to white Virginians being less than 10%.

The high poverty rate among Black Virginians paired with higher marijuana charges undoubtedly means that this population lacks the necessary resources for an attorney and isn’t well-suited for fighting their marijuana charges. I am writing this letter in hopes of enlightening more people on this issue and to push for justice for our Black neighbors who are still incarcerated for something that is no longer illegal.

Let’s cover Northern Virginia in solar panels first I fully support the approach outlined by Julie Bolthouse in your article, “Rural counties wrestle with solar power demands from Northern Virginia.”

I would like to add three thoughts to the discussion. First, at some point the growth in “for profit” solar farms will drive [Dominion Energy] to increase the size or install new power transmission systems. This means some of our neighbors will have land taken for this infrastructure.

Second, as a county adjacent to a major metropolitan area, it is very doubtful that developed land will return to traditional rural uses. Therefore, I wonder why we should enable a permanent change in our environ-

ment when the Microsofts and universities buying the power place little to no generation infrastructure on their own properties. I will be more agreeable to building solar farms in the country if Northern Virginia is covered by solar panels.

While building large solar farms on farm and rural land is the cheapest way to deploy solar power generation, the industry has developed standards to enable thousands of small (home-sized) systems to sell to the grid. This means there are alternatives to large, monolithic arrays of solar panels.

FRED SMITH Broad Run

Libraries’ diploma program offers opportunity, awareness In response to the article, “Prince William libraries offer free accredited high school diploma program,” I am writing because I think this service is a great opportunity to provide an equal playing field for all Prince William County residents.

The article states that an estimated 40,000 people, or more than 10% of the adult population in the county, do not have a high school diploma. This surprised me … because I grew up in Bristow, where nearly everyone around had well-paying jobs and opportunities that put them at an advantage

in getting a better education and completing high school.

According to educationdata.org, “Students from families in lower socioeconomic status percentiles are five times more likely to drop out of high school.” Not only will this move by Prince William County libraries provide great opportunity for more disadvantaged groups, it also brought to my attention this issue and made me more aware and grateful of the situation I was raised in.

Data center approvals must hinge on environmental impacts – not jobs As citizens of Prince William County, we should continue our public effort to ensure future data centers are designed and operated sustainably. This means the water the data centers need will be reused, and the electric power will come from green energy.

Our continued request for a [county] water study still has not been answered, although it has been months and months since we started asking and a directive was issued.

Plans in Prince William County are to put data centers in our rural crescent, where there is very little impervious surface. No sewers are allowed, and therefore 22,000 homes are on wells. This makes us particularly concerned with the impact on our drinking water as well as the drinking water for the entire county.

Data centers will lead to vast impervious surfaces, and their asso-

ciated storm water flows will likely increase ecological damage to local streams and waterways. As storms are predicted to be more intense, dropping more water in shorter periods of time, we worry that upstream, expansive data centers will increase downstream scouring and flood impacts, especially in under-served communities.

The climate crisis is very real.

Everyone should be doing everything they can to lessen the impact of the climate crisis -- not adding to it.

From my perspective, claiming that some unknown number of jobs from regional unions who may or may not employ citizens of Prince William County is a false narrative that endangers the environment and the future for the children of Prince William County.

MARILYN KARP Haymarket

Anti-Semitic mailer reflects lingering racist tropes I am writing in response to the letter to the editor “Local leaders must stand up against anti-Semitic Mailer,” published on Oct. 14. Over time, there have been prominent historical forces that have remained imprinted on American society.

Back in 1941-1945, Nazi Germany took over and led a mass genocide, focusing on mostly the Jewish people.

Their outlook of using the Jews as scapegoats never fully left some people’s lens on society. During the Holocaust, the Jewish community was stereotyped as being “cheap” and “greedy,” and some just believed this anti-Semitic point of view.

What people don’t pay attention to is the truth. The people who identified as Jewish had their property, especially their valuables, taken away. This caused them to be more conscious of their property and stand up for what was rightfully their own.

During today’s time, people in society who have the privilege of being the “white man” don’t look from someone else’s perspective and see the oppression minorities still face today from uneducated people stuck in the past, relying on old historical and social influences.

An abundance of acorns Some are noticing more acorns than usual this fall, but is it a ‘mast year’? It’s complicated, experts say

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

Have you noticed more acorns falling from the trees this fall? Many of your neighbors did, too.

As cooler temperatures arrive and leaves change color, you may have already noticed sidewalks, driveways and lawns blanketed in fallen acorns. That’s because, in some areas of greater Prince William, it’s a “mast year” for oaks -- meaning oak trees are producing a larger than average crop of acorns.

“We moved our cars into the garage to avoid the damage acorns can do. It’s the same as after a hailstorm,” said Linda Daubert, a Manassas resident with seven oak trees in her yard. She said their mature oaks are major acorn producers every year, but that this year there’s even more acorns than usual.

“This is the first year that I’ve noticed how noisy they are hitting the roof. It’s basically all the time, and a couple of nights ago, they were keeping me awake it was so frequent,” Daubert said, adding: “Once we clean the driveway, it’s immediately covered again.”

Reports are similar from Nokesville to Manassas Park. Harriet Carter, who lives in Manassas, said she saw an abundance of acorns from different types of oak trees during a recent walk in Blooms Park, the former General’s Ridge Golf Course.

“We are talking bushels” of acorns, she said.

Last week, Nancy Vehrs, president of the Prince William Wildflower Society, a chapter of the Vir-

If your yard looks like this, you might have an oak tree experiencing a mast year this fall.

A developing acorn on a local oak tree. ginia Native Plant Society, declared a mast year for her white oak tree in Manassas. Vehrs explained that you can tell the difference between a white oak tree and a red oak tree by leaf shape: white oaks have rounded leaf lobes and red oaks have pointed leaves.

Mast year a ‘mysterious process’

Biologists are unsure about what causes trees to overproduce nuts during some years.

“Many species of trees go through boom-and-bust cycles with seed production. When they are in a boom, we call that a mast year. This is a somewhat mysterious process, and there are a few hypotheses about what drives the process; unfortunately, they all have holes in them,” said James McGlone, urban forest conservationist with the Virginia Department of Forestry.

McGlone said mast years can occur in different species in different years and that there can be regional variations within the same species.

According to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, acorn abundance can vary among geographic areas that are as little as 10 to 15 miles apart.

So far, McGlone said he has heard a report that this year was a mast year for chestnut oaks in Woodbridge. Oak trees, he says, might not be experiencing a mast year in the Prince William County area, and, instead, might just be experiencing a “normal amount of acorns” after a “down year” last year.

Both Arlington and Augusta counties reported a bust year for all types of oaks this year, he noted.

Douglas Tallamy, an entomology professor at the University of Delaware and author of four books about nature, says in his most recent book, “The Nature of Oaks: The Rich Ecology of Our Most Essential Native Trees,” that there are many ecological explanations for oak masting, but none are mutually exclusive.

The conventional wisdom is that oaks have mast years in an attempt to ensure their reproductive success by outpacing the appetites of mice, squirrels, jays, chipmunks and deer who rely on the nuts as a food source

This mighty oak tree in the author’s yard has been dropping more acorns than usual this year. to get them through the winter, Tallamy writes.

But he also puts forth other theories and invites readers to draw their own conclusions as they observe their own oaks and local wildlife.

Feeding frenzy

Mast years affect wildlife life cycles and the food web. Simply put, “more acorns mean more food for acorn eaters,” McGlone said.

Bumper crops of acorns will result in well fed plant-eating animals this fall and winter and increased wildlife reproduction next spring.

Then, these animals will later provide a bounty for carnivorous predators, explained Adam Downing, forestry agent with the Virginia Cooperative Extension.

It’s a cyclical boom or bust, Vehrs said.

“There is natural population increase and decrease in wildlife ecology. And a lot of that follows their food source. The plants … are the ultimate food source because even if the animal is a carnivore eating other animals, the animal that it’s eating is eating plants,” Downing said.

Great time to plant an oak tree

Every acorn is an opportunity to plant a new oak tree, and now is a great time for anyone who might want a shade tree in their yard to plant some of those extra acorns, Vehrs said.

Acorns from white oak trees mature in one growing season and can be planted in the ground now, she said.

To prevent squirrels from digging up the acorns, Vehrs says to anchor a screen over the newly planted nuts.

It can be useful to mark the plantings so they don’t accidentally get mowed over in the spring.

Downing offered another method, opining that it may be easier to grow new trees by planting acorns in pots with some soil, letting them sprout up, and then transplanting the new trees into the ground next year while they’re still small enough to easily get into the ground.

“Though white oaks are considered slow-growing, you might be amazed at how one can grow into a good-sized tree in 10 years,” Vehrs said. “Oaks purchased from a nursery in a pot or balled and burlapped will undergo shock when planted and may take a couple of years to settle in and really start growing.”

Oak trees are an important species for insects, wildlife and human consumption in terms of the wood, Downing said, adding: “Plant an oak tree because you’re doing something good for many generations to come.”

Pick-your-own farms

Times Staff Writer

In northwest Fauquier County, the hills around Crooked Run Valley — bounded

by Goose Creek to the south and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the north and west — have for centuries been dotted with orchards and fields of fruit.

Each fall, several farms in the Delaplane and Markham areas welcome visitors from near and far to pick their own apples, pumpkins, gourds and more.

Most farms welcome dogs and children, making a visit to this picturesque corner of Fauquier County a perfect family outing.

A couple walks through the apple orchards at Hollin Farms on Saturday.

Hollin Farms

Adrina, 2, of Falls Church, carries the pumpkin she picked out at Hollin Farms on Saturday.

FIELD HOCKEY REPORT

COLGAN REMAINS THE CLASS OF THE CARDINAL Powerful Sharks are 13-3 and hoping for their best year yet

By Jason S. Rufner

Special to the Prince William Times

In the five seasons Kaitlyn Connolly has coached the Colgan High field hockey program, her teams have consistently dominated the Cardinal District, winning the last four regular-season titles.

But it’s been troubled waters outside of the district for the Sharks, who’ve never made it past the second round of the regional tournament.

Colgan (13-3) handled Hylton 8-0 in three quarters in Tuesday’s Cardinal District semifinals and plays in Thursday’s final, then it’s on to regionals.

“We’re really pushing this year [to make states],” the coach said. “It would mean so much to us to see all our hard work pay off.”

Connolly has reason to believe this year could be different. For one thing, she challenged her veteran-laden squad to a tough non-district slate, including perennial winners Patriot, Battlefield, Riverbend, and defending region champ Colonial Forge.

The Sharks lost 1-0 to Colonial Forge, beat Riverbend 3-2, and defeated Patriot for the first time in program history. Colgan knocked off the Pioneers with a 2-1 comeback win, converting on a corner play to seal it.

“These are all things that get them super-excited that they can stick with it for the long run,” the coach said.

Colgan went on to win all 10 Cardinal District contests, outscoring opponents 71-1 including victories over second-seeded Woodbridge of 4-0 and 6-1.

“That’s usually a competitive game, so that was big for us,” Connolly said. “They scored on us, so the girls came out fired up and put five on the board.”

Colgan’s Olivia Damato (right, No. 18) scored three goals in Tuesday’s 8-0 win over Hylton in the Cedar Run semifinals. Carley Mayers (left) added three goals as the Sharks advanced to Thursday’s final at 6 p.m. at Colgan. Alexis Andrews-Thompson (No. 17) is also pictured.

That knack for responding when challenged has impressed the coach.“They’re intrinsically motivated but also extrinsically motivated. If things aren’t going their way, they’ll fight tooth and nail until it is.”

Battlefield, Patriot share three-way tie for first

By Jason S. Rufner

Special to the Prince William Times

Normally, either Patriot or Battlefield wins the Cedar Run District regular-season field hockey title.

This year, they both did.

With two losses apiece, the Bobcats (12-2, 11-2) and Pioneers (12-3, 10-2) tied with Freedom-South Rid-

ing for the top spot. They split two head-to-head meetings, as Battlefield won 2-0 on Sept. 21 before Patriot earned a 1-0 victory on Oct. 13.

The six-team district tournament opened Oct. 20, setting a possible stage for the rivals to face off yet again.

Pioneers seek first state berth

Knocking off Battlefield is the

highlight of the season so far, Patriot head coach Emily Ortiz said. But she expects more highlights to come.

“This team is truly ready for postseason,” Ortiz said. “They have no plans to finish their season soon.”

In her eighth season, Ortiz has seen the Pioneers put up high win totals only to fade in the playoffs. It’s different this time.

“We have had a really great season, and it feels far from over,” the coach said. “We’re strong and unpredictable, making us tough to prepare for.”

Senior forward Claudia Lenahan set a Cedar Run record with region-leading 31 goals. Speedy junior forward Abby Kallal has authored 21 tallies.

Patriot wants to make states, so do Bobcats FIELD HOCKEY, from page 17 Elevated to starters before the season, sophomore Chloe Annibell and junior Brea DellaFave hold down midfielder spots. Defensively, sophomore Catherine Callaway has shined in her first varsity season, teaming with junior center Lexi Francis.

“It has been incredible watching them grow and develop in such a short time,” Ortiz said.

Patriot made it to the Region B title game last spring, marking the furthest the program has ever gone. They’d like to go further.

“I believe it has taken Patriot so long because we have been waiting for this team,” the veteran coach said.

Battlefield bounces back big

The Bobcats responded to their first two losses with their biggest win of the season.

Battlefield avenged a 3-2 road loss to Freedom (South Riding) on Oct. 12 with a 4-0 home win Oct. 18, forcing a three-way tie for first to end the regular season.

“We worked on a handful of things in practice to prepare us for Freedom the second go-around,” head coach Claire Gianelle said. “The girls did a tremendous job moving the ball down the field, spreading out, using big hits to get in the circle, and finishing when given the opportunities.

“I think this bodes well for us going into playoffs.”

The Bobcats’ starting lineup is a mix of established performers and rising contributors. Sophomore Gracie Lint is an emerging defensive star who “has really locked down her drive,” Gianelle said, joining junior defender Erin Sweeney.

Senior captains Ella Wild and Rebecca Bartheld are scorers in the circle, while sophomore midfielder Natalie Moul and freshman forward Hailey Hatfield add to Battlefield’s offensive firepower.

“We have a lot of seniors, but also a lot of young talent which gives us a very balanced squad,” Gianelle said.

Final Cardinal District regular season standings

This season’s edition of Sharks 1, Colgan field hockey is loaded with veterans, 2, Woodbridge led by senior forwards Alexis An3, Forest Park drews-Thompson (20 goals, five as4, Hylton sists) and Olivia Damato (19 goals, four assists). Both were first-team 5, Garfield all-Cardinal performers last season. 6, Potomac Senior Carley Mayers (13 goals, 11 assists) and junior Rylie Flick (12 goals, 13 assists), also all-district first-teamers, create opportunities in the circle from their midfield spots, along with junior Alana Orlando.

Defensively, aggressive juniors Carly Sanders and Natalie Korzuch and senior Becky Campos provide stellar protection for senior goalie Maddie Huber, who’s blocked more than 50 shots on the season.

“She’s played phenomenal. She’s kept us in games,” Connolly said of Huber.

The coach noted the interchangeability her players offer.

“I have forwards who can play mid, mids who can play forward or defense. It’s a team that can do whatever I ask them,” she said.

Poised to shine

As the best-conditioned team in Connolly’s tenure, the Sharks are versatile, fast, and ready for postseason play.

“I’ve watched these girls grow up for three or four years,” Connolly said. “They go from having never played before to cranking out these amazing records.”

Connolly had never coached before when she took over a second-year program searching for an identity. She proceeded to build Colgan field hockey on the pillars of trust, communication, and motivation.

“That’s what has driven the program since my first year,” said Connolly, who passed the 60-win threshold earlier this season. ‘We need to trust, communicate with, and motivate each other. Like I’ve always told them, it’s just us.”

INTERNATIONAL GOLD CUP CONTRIBUTING EDITOR BETSY BURKE PARKER, BETSYBURKEPARKER@GMAIL.COM

When: Saturday, Oct. 23; 12 p.m. first post Where: Great Meadow, The Plains What: Eight races, timber and hurdles Ticket information: vagoldcup.com

Dolly Fisher’s Schoodic returns to Great Meadow for try at third-straight timber win

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Prince William Times

Schoodic knows his way around Great Meadow: He’s logged more miles around the racecourse in The Plains in the past five years than most steeplechasers run in a lifetime.

Dolly Fisher’s veteran goes for his third-straight Gold Cup win at this Saturday’s International Gold Cup. Schoodic won the 2019 International Gold Cup and the 2021 Virginia Gold Cup – 7 ½ miles in front over the championship course, plus he ran in the Semmes and Ferguson handicap hurdle stakes five times between 2016 and 2018 for a total of 18 1/8 miles around the left-handed oval.

It might give Schoodic the advantage.

And he might need it.

In Saturday’s headline feature, Schoodic tangles with four of the division’s best, including one that’s been nipping at his heels all year. Leipers Fork Steeplechase’s Tomgarrow (Tom Garner listed to ride) was second to Schoodic in the Virginia Gold Cup in May and again second a month ago at Shawan Downs. Trainer Leslie Young, who saddled Andi A’mu to be second to Schoodic in the 2019 International Gold Cup, says she’s got Tomgarrow ready to meet the formidable Schoodic in the $75,000 classic.

Others to watch include Storm Team, who won his Gold Cup prep two weeks ago at Glenwood

PHOTO BY BETSY BURKE PARKER

Schoodic, No. 4, jumps to win the 2019 International Gold Cup. He goes for his second win in the timber classic Saturday.

Park (Tomgarrow was second there, too) and won the super-competitive Houghland memorial at Nashville in June (Tomgarrow, second.)

Kiplin Hall’s Renegade River (Parker Hendriks) finished a neck in front of Schoodic at Willowdale May 8, but many believe the 5 pounds Renegade River got from Schoodic in the weights made the winning difference in the 3 ½-mile Pennsylvania race.

In the International Gold Cup – also 3 ½ miles, all five runners carry level weights – 165. Amateur rider Connor Hankin has the mount on Schoodic, certain to be morning-line favorite at the pari-mutuel meet.

Post time is 12 p.m. for the first of eight races on the $300,000-plus program. Event co-chair Al Griffin says betting is available through live tellers or at self-serve wagering kiosks around the racecourse. “This year, we’re keeping the pandemic safety spacing, with separation between railside parking spots,” Griffin said. “We’re really looking forward to Saturday. The forecast is great, the entries are strong and the course is in perfect condition.”

Virginia Steeplechase Association president Don Yovanovich inspected the course on behalf of the NSA on Sunday, reporting that the track has a lush turf cover from careful tending after the spring meet and good rain this summer.

Other races on the card include the $75,000 grade II Ferguson hurdle handicap, the $30,000 cross-country steeplethon and five other hurdle races.

Paul Frederick Bromm Paul Frederick Bromm passed away on 10/7/21 at the UVA Medical Center in Charlottesville, Virginia after complications from cancer surgery.

Paul was born on 4/13/59 in Gulfport, Mississippi, the son of Lt. Col. Robert F. Bromm, USAF, and Alice Gene Bromm.

He is preceded in death by both parents and by former wife, Delores Myers Bromm, stepson, Steven Brown, and stepdaughter, Amber Brown.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia Heermans Bromm, his sister, Alea (Eric) Sullivan of Phoenix, Arizona, Monica Brown and Dan Wells of Worthington, Ohio, and a wonderful extended family who loved him: William Heermans of Phoenix, Arizona, Kevin and Lisa Heermans of Huber Heights, Ohio, Jeff Heermans of Culpeper, Virginia, John (Niki) Stapleton of Winter Springs, Florida, Elizabeth (Anthony) Gehin of Winter Springs, Florida, Mandy and Scott Gregg, of Culpeper, Virginia, Freddy and Mandy Stapleton of Culpeper, Virginia, grandchildren: Tyler and Nevaeh Manning of Fairborn, Ohio, Adam Gregg, Aaron Gregg, Jacob Gregg, and Derick Stapleton of Culpeper, Virginia, and Penny Gehin, Ava Gehin, Cece Gehin, Eloise Stapleton, and Ezra Stapleton, of Winter Springs, Florida.

Paul dabbled in several careers in his early years: driving a concrete mixer, sales, long-haul trucking, and was a licensed private pilot. He ultimately found his professional niche in the transportation/logistics management field for Prestige Delivery Systems. In more recent years, Paul spent as much time as weather permitted on his motorcycle, and also loved to lock himself in his man-cave to play one of his guitars. Paul and Patricia together shared a love of good food, good drink and live bands, and saw 38 Special more than one couple should see any band!

They also spent several vacations in their favorite spot: Siesta Key, Florida.

Paul was a die-hard Patriot, and held deep respect for our Country’s founding fathers. Those who knew him remember his strong opinions, and that he loved nothing more than sitting down with friends and family for a satisfying political conversation, drink in hand. His playful side was evident in his interactions with the grandchildren he loved so deeply.

There was much joyful noise in the home and he was often found chasing kids or throwing them over the “candy bridge.”

Paul fully embraced life to the very end and he would want his loved ones to celebrate that life.

Family, friends, and neighbors will gather at Paul and Patricia’s home on Saturday, 10/16/21 from 1-5 pm to raise a glass to Paul.

OBITUARIES Katherine Maria Vogler

Sara Elizabeth Collette

August 12, 1975-October 17,2021

Sara Elizabeth Collette, age 86, passed peacefully at her home in Casanova, VA on Monday, October 11th, 2021 from complications from Parkinson’s.

She was born in New Haven, Oswego County, New York on March 1st, 1935, daughter of the late Frederick & Margaret Foster.

The Collettes moved to Casanova in 1977 and purchased a small farm called Pageland so that Sara could have her horses at home. She joined the Casanova Hunt and earned her colors after a few years. The Collettes expanded their farm by adding three more parcels of the original Pageland. Sara then purchased a mare in foal named Flower Bow. She developed a breeding program and started entering her horses in local point-to-point races. Names of horses must be unique to avoid rejection by the Jockey Club, so she usually used fish names for her horses since her husband was an ichthyologist (studied fishes). Her breeding program produced many winners including two that won the Gold Cup, Salmo in 2007 and 2009 and Zanclus in 2018.

Sara is survived by her husband of 66 years, Bruce B. Collette; three daughters, Karen Cali Collette of Ellijay, GA; Sheila Bell of Gibsonville, NC; and Claire Shaw & her husband, Michael of Roswell, GA; six grandchildren, Shaun, Crystyle, Heather, Alex, Samantha & Thomas; and five great grandchildren, Hayley, Brandon, Gabrielle, Trinity & Henry.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Virginia Point-to-Point Foundation, P.O. Box 1877, Middleburg, VA 20118 (a 501(c)(3) public charity). Online condolences may be made at www. moserfuneralhome.com.

June M. Penn June M. Penn passed away Friday, September 17, 2021 at home surrounded by her daughters. She was preceded in death by her husband Walter H. Penn and her parents Zeff and Alice Porter. June was born December 12, 1934 in Fauquier County and built a wonderful life in the county. June was a devoted member of Poplar Fork Baptist Church and participated regularly until her illness.

June loved working with and teaching children. She retired from the Fauquier County Public School System with 40 years of service.

Most of those years were at Bradley Elementary School working with Mary Stright as a Teacher’s Assistant. They taught kindergarteners who were always full of energy and questions. Many of June’s previous students would see her in town or at a football game and she became the “Rock Star” as they came up to her with hugs.

June also worked many years for the Stephenson family--Mr. Samuel Stephenson, then his son, Edward L., and then his son, Edward L. III. June’s grandchildren named her “MeeMaw” and that name stuck with her because her grandchildren’s friends and many nieces and nephews knew her as that.

June loved to drive and give rides to anyone that needed to get somewhere. Her beige Classic Cadillac almost floated thru the air when June was behind the wheel.

There are so many wonderful and funny stories we could share...and all of them have the same message “June loved people and people loved her.”

June is survived by her daughters, Towanna and Pamela both of Warrenton; her sister, Alice P. Lightfoot of Haymarket; her brother, Conway M. Porter (Miriam) of Warrenton; three grandchildren, Tia Webb of New York City, NY, Derrick Webb and Robert Waters of Warrenton; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and very good friends.

A graveside service with a small gathering of family and friends will be held on October 16, 2021 at Bright View Cemetery, 8265 Lunsford Road, Warrenton, starting at 12:00 noon.

Because of COVID-19, the family is not having a reception afterwards.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that expressions of sympathy take the form of donations to the Heartland Hospice Memorial Fund, 493 Blackwell Road, Suite 319, Warrenton, VA, 20186, in memory of June Penn or to the Boys and Girls Club of America.

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. The location of this public hearing is believed to be accessible to persons with disabilities. Any person with questions on the accessibility of the facility should contact the Town Clerk at the above address or by telephone at the above number.

If you wish to comment but cannot attend the public hearing, please send your comments to the Clerk of the Council, Kim Henry, by November 1, 2021 at 4:30pm, via email Khenry@townofhaymarket.org or via mail, 15000 Washington Street, Ste. 100, Haymarket, VA 20169.
