Residents vow to continue fight against Bristow data centers

By Shannon Clark Times Staff Writer

Nine months after the controversial Devlin Technology Park was put on hold, about 100 Bristow residents attended a Nov. 14 town hall meeting to voice concerns and ask questions.

“In this case, we are taking an area that was zoned for residential, and (developers) are asking for that to be changed,” said Bruce Faudree, a semi-retired architect who lives in Saybrooke. “Why would (the county) say data center(s) are a logical use?”

The project, a controversial plan to allow as many as nine data centers behind several Bristow neighborhoods, will return to the Prince

William Board of Supervisors for a possible vote on Tuesday, Nov. 28.

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, held the town hall for residents to ask questions and express concerns or support for the project ahead of the meeting.

Since the project was last before the county board in February, applicant Stanley Martin has made several revisions to its rezoning application. The project seeks to transform about 270 acres at the corner of Linton Hall and Devlin roads into a new data center corridor. The area is currently zoned for up to 516 homes but is adjacent to other parcels that were rezoned for data centers in 2021.

Lawson, who lost her bid for

county board chair in last Tuesday’s election, said she remains opposed to the development.

“The community has made it very clear to me that they do not want data centers on (these) 270 acres,” Lawson said. “They would rather have the houses that are currently approved. And I made it very clear I was going to represent the interests ... of (the) overwhelming, very loud voice of constituents, that (do) not want data centers here.”

Lawson was joined at the town hall by Supervisor-elect Tom Gordy, a Republican who will take over her position in January. Gordy currently is See DATA CENTER, page 2

After a 22-hour meeting, the Prince William County Planning Commission voted Thursday to recommend denial of all three rezoning applications involved in the Prince William Digital Gateway.

But that decision will not keep the project from moving forward to the board of supervisors for a possible vote on Dec. 12—and that was the goal, according to Commissioner Tom Gordy (Brentsville).

“We need to be very honest about what happened today, and it was a vote to move this to a lame-duck board who will take it up before the end of the year,” Gordy said in an interview after the vote. Gordy won his bid for Brentsville District supervisor in Tuesday’s election.

Manassas Park voters handily rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed a new Rosie’s Gaming Emporium to open in their independent city, a result officials said was likely due to a distaste for gambling as well as possible confusion over ballot wording using the phrase “pari-mutuel” wagering.

Churchill Downs Incorporated, which owns Rosie’s, had hoped to open a gaming parlor in the Manassas Park Shopping Center similar to the one in Dumfries. Rosie’s offers slot-like betting machines that are based on historical horse races. Pari-mutuel betting creates a pool of winnings based on the money wagered.

Churchill Downs’ promises that Rosie’s would bring jobs and generate much-needed tax revenue were not enough to win over Manassas Park voters, more than 35% of whom cast ballots in the Nov. 7 election. Voters rejected the referendum by a vote of 1,789 to 1,251, a margin of about 17.5%.

Residents vow to continue fight against Bristow data centers DATA CENTER, from page 2 the Brentsville District representative on the county planning commission.

Also attending were Ian Lovejoy, a Republican who was elected to the Va. House of Delegates in the western Prince William County area 22nd District, and Erica Tredinnick, who won her bid for to represent the Brentsville District on the Prince William County School Board. Tredinnick was also endorsed by the local Republican committee.

Deshundra Jefferson, a Democrat who won the race for county board chair, was unable to attend due to a schedule conflict. Lawson read a statement from Jefferson saying that while there is a place for data centers in Prince William County, she is against them near “homes, schools and national parks.” Jefferson’s statement also said supervisors need to “exercise greater caution and restraint when making decisions that impact residents.”

“The Devlin community has made clear that they don’t want data centers near their homes, and their voices must be heard,” Jefferson said.

Jefferson also said in the statement that she is meeting with current board members and Gordy to discuss “alternatives” for Devlin Technology Park—even though the rezoning will return to the board during its “lame duck period,” before she is sworn into office in January.

Aside from current Board Chair Ann Wheeler (at large), whom Jefferson unseated in the June primary, and Lawson, all six other supervisors were re-elected last Tuesday, meaning the board will retain its 5-3 Democratic majority.

Stanley Martin submitted a fourth version of its rezoning application in September that was not reviewed by the county planning commission.

Bristow residents protest against the Devlin Technology Park outside the Prince William County government complex back in February.

For that to happen, the supervisors would have to remand the application back to the planning commission, Lawson said.

The planning commission voted back in July 2022 to recommend approval on the project’s fourth submission, which would have allowed up to 11 data centers on the 270-acre parcel.

In its latest update, Stanley Martin has pledged to leave about 85 acres closest to Chris Yung Elementary School free from data centers. The area is being pledged for parks and recreational purposes, according to the application. Lawson said she is concerned the area will sit vacant for years before the county can afford to add any amenities.

“We waited well over 12 years for Rollins Ford Park,” Lawson said. “History repeats itself. The odds of this becoming a parks and rec facility in the next few years is slim to none.”

Among other changes, Stanley Martin says it will keep the data centers from coming within

2,200 feet of Chris Yung Elementary School and from within 500 feet of nearby homes.

The updated application also increases the buffer between the data centers and Linton Hall and Devlin roads to 200 feet and reduces the maximum height of the data centers from 95 to 81 feet.

It also says the data center buildings should use a closed-loop cooling system.

Chris Carroll, who represents the Brentsville District on the county’s Sustainability Commission, said the application “falls short” of the requirements the county should enforce of data centers to help meet the environmental goals laid out in the recently adopted comprehensive environmental and sustainability master plan.

While the Stanley Martin application mentions recycling construction materials and using LED lighting and heat-reflective roofing material, Carroll said it fails to mention how its data centers would move away from diesel-powered emergency generators or use renewable power.

Tammy Lawson, a resident of Victory Lakes, which is near the proposed data center corridor, expressed concerns about the potential health impacts posed by data centers operating close to homes.

“What are we doing in (terms of) studies to determine the health (effects) not only to Chris Yung (Elementary School), but to everyone in the area?” she asked.

Donna Gallant, a resident of Amberleigh Station, which would back up to the new data centers, said residents who are concerned about the project need to share how the project will affect them.

“You bought your home,” Gallant said. “For a lot of people this an investment … this is your livelihood.”

School board mulls new rules for public speaking slots

involved in the negotiations.

Move comes amid allyThe Wednesday, Nov. 14 meeting intense contract talks was no different. Wearing matching PWEA T-shirts, union memwith teachers’ union black bers filled most of the board room’s

By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

After members of the local teachers’ union have come out in full force at recent School Board meetings to complain about low pay and challenging working conditions, the board is considering new rules that would place limits on public speaking spots.

The changes were introduced at the Tuesday, Nov. 14 school board meeting

by Chair Babur Lateef (at large) and members Jen Wall (Gainesville) and Adele Jackson (Brentsville). If adopted, the changes would prevent speakers from signing up for two meetings following the meeting at which they last spoke.

The Nov. 14 meeting was the last meeting scheduled before the Dec. 1 deadline for the school division and the Prince William Education Association, the teacher’s union, to reach a tentative contract agreement.

Negotiations between the two sides have been contentious for months and broke down in September, resulting in mediation. For the last several months, PWEA members have turned out to school board meetings in large numbers to implore the school board members to get person-

seats as well as a majority of speaker slots during public comment time.

One teacher spoke about a colleague battling cancer who had run out of sick days, and how the employee “sick day bank” was empty because teachers are encouraged to hold onto their sick days in exchange for retirement benefits. Another talked about how she and her colleagues are regularly kicked and hit by students.

Teachers also spoke of having no time for lunch or planning, having to cover extra classes for no pay, and— in the case of one teacher—being able to afford only a windowless basement apartment with no kitchen on her current salary.

Special education teacher Lisanne Boddye, who is married to Prince William County Supervisor Kenny Boddye (Occoquan), told the school board that she is breastfeeding the couple’s 7-month-old baby but does not have the ability to leave her classroom during the day to pump.

Some union members also told the school board they oppose the proposed changes for public comment time and believe they are meant to target the union.

“After hearing these heart-wrenching personal accounts from their employees, did these elected Democrats

Prince William Education Association President Maggie Hansford speaks during the Nov. 14 school board meeting as fellow union members stand. come here tonight in the spirit of compassion and compromise?” asked Jerod Gay, a middle school language arts teacher serving as the Virginia Education Association liaison for the PWEA. “No. Instead, two (Democrats) and one Republican came prepared to introduce a policy amendment that would further restrict citizen comment time and limit their constituents’ ability to exercise their First Amendment rights.”

School Board members spoke in support of the new rules, with only School Board Member Lillie Jessie (Occoquan) expressing concern that it could penalize speakers who cannot come to meetings at the last minute due to genuine emergencies.

Some school board members said that they worry some of their constituents are unable to sign up for speaker slots. Because only 20 public-comment slots are available per

meeting, and they recently have been quickly filled by union members, some who have wanted to speak at school board meetings have had to wait or reach out to school board members privately.

Lateef denied that the new rules are meant to target the union speakers specifically but said the board has gotten “a lot of complaints” from county residents who could not get on the speakers’ list at past meetings. Extending comment time, he said, is not an option due to meetings potentially lasting too long.

“We have not considered extending the speakers’ time. The meetings are already long,” Lateef said.

“During the pandemic, we were criticized for making important decisions while sleep deprived.”

Planning commission advances Digital Gateway

DIGITAL GATEWAY, from page 1

The 6-2 vote came after three attempts by Commissioner Richard Berry (Gainesville) to defer a planning commission vote until after the county’s professional planning office had a chance to review thousands of changes to the Digital Gateway rezoning applications submitted only a week ago by developers QTS Data Centers and Compass Datacenters.

“We need to provide (the staff) time to do their review and analysis,” Berry said.

But after Berry could not get a majority to agree to any of three dates for a postponed meeting—Jan. 24, 2024, Dec. 20 or Dec. 13—he moved to recommend denial of all three applications. The county planning staff had recommended denial on Oct. 27, before the mammoth round of new changes came in.

Voting against denial were Gordy and Joseph Fontanella (Coles). Both had said before the vote that they preferred that the staff spend time reviewing the developers’ massive, last-minute changes to their applications.

As Gordy said, other commissioners wanted to move the matter along to the board of supervisors— even by way of a recommendation to deny the projects. “I see no reason to deny the board of supervisors’ decision,” said Patty Kuntz (at-large).

The motion got tangled for a while in argument because it was based on the planning staff’s recommendation to deny the applications based on the developers’ fourth applications, which were submitted on Aug. 25.

After the staff recommended denial on Oct. 27 due to nearly a dozen substantial problems—some had tried to get the developers to correct for months—both Compass and QTS delivered a fifth version of their applications and “proffers,” or legally-binding conditions, on Nov. 1.

Planning Commissioner Raheel Sheikh (Occoquan) tried to make a motion to approve the rezonings based on the Nov. 1 applications but made the move during a vote on the motion to deny. Sheikh withdrew the

motion after other commissioners objected.

Planning Commission Chair Cynthia Moses-Nedd (Woodbridge) argued the revised application and proffers could move on to the board of supervisors, and staffers said they might be able review the new materials before the supervisors hold their public hearing on Dec. 12.

Representing Compass and QTS, Mark Looney and Anthony Calabrese said they made their latest changes to comply with the county planning staff’s suggestions and objections, and they argued they satisfied all issues.

Planners, however, said that since they had not been able to review the changes themselves, nor run them past the county’s legal counsel or other affected agencies, they could not offer an assessment.

The meeting began at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 8 and stretched beyond noon the next day.

It started with presentations by the data center companies, which are seeking three separate rezonings to turn a 2,100-acre area directly northwest of Manassas National Battlefield Park into what would be one of the largest data center corridors in the world.

The two QTS rezonings cover a collective 876 acres that are proposed for 10.7 million square feet of data center space. The Compass application seeks to rezone 885 acres to allow for 11.5 million square feet of data center space. Together, the two projects propose as many as 37 separate data center buildings.

QTS and Compass gave 20-minute presentations summarizing their applications. They were followed by the county’s planning staff, who explained why they recommended denial of all three rezonings. Staff cited at least 10 serious deficiencies in both companies’ applications, including a lack of information on building sizes and siting, building architecture, location of power lines and missing responses to 10 other agencies.

Although the county staff acknowledged some strengths in the

applications, county planner Emilie Wolfson said staff found inconsistencies with the comprehensive plan supervisors passed a year ago to guide the development.

Commissioners press data centers on power, missing parks

Commissioners’ questions also indicated concern with the plans.

Commissioner Joseph Fontanella (Coles) led off the questioning by asking, “Why are we here today?” given the incomplete applications.

It was ostensibly asked of Compass’s Looney but could have been directed to the entire board.

County planner Chris Perez told the board that the applicants sent them more than 2,000 pages just one week ago, including 1,189 changes in proffer language. He said his office had written its critical report based on the developer’s Aug. 25 submission and had not had time to look at the updated version.

Perez said it took him and another staffer two months to review the August application.

“So, we have to sort through your (new) submission” without any staff review? Fontanella asked. His concern was echoed by Berry who said, “I know I’m not able to get through those 1,600 pages.”

Looney said the hearing date was driven by the company’s contract deadline with landowners set two years ago. Fontanella said the rushed process “concerns me greatly.”

Commissioners questioned the routing of transmission lines, overall power needs, open spaces and missing parkland that was promised by the comprehensive plan amendment the supervisors approved last year to guide the development.

Gordy pressed Dominion Energy spokesman Steve Precker on an earlier claim that there would be enough power available for Digital Gateway’s initial stages. Precker said that was correct, but Gordy insisted Precker presented “no factual basis” for the size of the initial buildout.

“Don’t tell me we have enough power—we don’t,” said Gordy, his voice rising. “What is the break-

ing point for our county?” he asked regarding data centers. “When is enough, enough?”

Many of the commissioners’ questions dealt with the staff’s concern that the developers’ plans omitted transmission lines connecting the project’s dozen or so electric substations and that they would likely impinge on land set aside as open space.

Both Looney and Calabrese acknowledged they had not plotted the transmission routes, but they said they could not do so until the project is approved. Calabrese said his company would replace any trees or space impinged upon by the power lines with an equal amount of open space somewhere else.

Looney said, “It is physically impossible to route the lines without impacting” open space. But he added that his company was committed to trying to avoid it, and “if we mess it up, we will mitigate it.”

But Wolfson said the county staff wants the transmission lines delineated because “we want to make sure what is proffered as open space is what we are actually getting.”

Wolfson also noted that the area’s underlying plan called for 30% of the land to be undisturbed “natural open space,” which means standing forests and marshlands and animal habitat. She said Compass and QTS could not meet that goal and, instead, would plant trees on land they had cleared to create a new category of “protected open space.”

Asked by Vice Chair Juan McPhail (Potomac) how Compass would meet the 30% goal, Looney said the company would plant trees. He argued that land planted with trees would eventually become old forests. “It’s the cycle of life,” he said.

Commissioners also wanted to know what happened to the parks that were once pictured on the Digital Gateway’s plans.

“There was a plan for some very large parks, and they seem to have disappeared,” said Fontanella. But Looney said those parks were never the data center developers’ responsibility.

See DIGITAL GATEWAY, page 5

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | November 16, 2023

DIGITAL GATEWAY, from page 4 “It was the board’s plan, not our plan,” he said. “Compass has 884 acres, and we don’t have those (parks),” he said.

Calabrese, however, said QTS had 51 of the 89 acres once slated to become a “southern community park,” just east of Conway Robinson State Forest, under contract. He said that if the rezoning were approved, his company would work with the county government to create a park there but did not offer further details.

Speakers mostly opposed in 14-hour public hearing

The presentations and the commissioners’ questions took about seven hours and were followed by 14 hours of public testimony, which began at about 9:30 p.m.

More than 130 spoke in person and were followed by dozens of additional speakers who offered their comments remotely until about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 9.

Several of the 102 landowners who are under contract to sell their homes and properties to Compass and QTS at a rate of between $350,000 and $950,000 per acre, urged the commissioners to approve the plan, mostly because of the tax revenue the data centers would generate. The county’s finance department estimated last year that the development could generate as much as $400 million a year at full build out, which is expected in 15 to 20 years, although critics question that assessment.

“You guys can change this county,” said J.P. Raflo, who is poised to sell his home and 10 acres on Pageland Lane.

“I think we’re going to look (back) on this in 15 to 20 years and say, ‘Wow, that was a good decision.’”

Several members of labor unions, who support the Digital Gateway because of the construction jobs it will create, also spoke in favor of the rezonings.

But aside from the landowners and union representatives, the overwhelming majority of speakers urged the planning commission to deny or defer the rezonings.

They included Kristopher Butcher, the superintendent of Manassas National Battlefield Park, as well as representatives of several conservation and environmental groups: the National Parks Conservation Association, the Southern Environmental Law Center, the Prince William Conservation Alliance, the Coalition to Protect Prince William County and the Coalition for Smarter Growth.

Butcher spoke at about 1:20 a.m.

Thursday, citing concerns about building heights, noise and whether the data centers would be seen from the battlefield. He also called for more studies to locate gravesites of Civil War soldiers outside the battlefield’s boundaries and lamented that the project could worsen traffic, calling it the battlefield’s “greatest threat.”

“This project will adversely affect the battlefield and the numer-

Opponents implored the commissioners to listen to the county planners and either deny or defer the massive data center corridor because of its many unknowns. Among them: power needs, locations of transmission lines and whether the project would result in a spiderweb of new high-power transmission lines to deliver it. They also complained of data center noise and air pollution resulting from the facilities’ diesel generators, which are tested monthly and used during power outages.

Several said western Prince William County has enough data centers.

“Gainesville is being saturated by data center buildings. We’re becoming an industrial city,” said Elaine Romanias. “Gainesville is being choked out.”

Stephanie Chartrand, also of Gainesville, said QTS and Compass’s promotional materials depicting a data center tucked in a At Sandy Spring Bank, we care about people.

“These are sacred lands. These are historic lands. They aren’t just some properties somewhere,” Russo said. “And I’m floored that I have to come here at 2 a.m. in the morning to say this.”

“The reason we have these long, interminable meetings is because this is the worst possible location to put a data center industrial zone,” said Kathy Kulick, also of Gainesville, and the leader of a coalition of regional homeowners’ associations opposed to data centers next to homes, schools and parkland.

At least two planning commissioners suggested they see no problem with developing a data center corridor on land adjacent to the battlefield. Commissioner Raheel Sheikh (Coles) wondered aloud about the need to preserve the battlefield and said some people of color likely agree.

During commissioner’s time, Kuntz said that while history must be honored, “There is a sense that you have to continue on.”

“We can’t stop development in proximity to a historical site. We honor what we can honor … but we also must move on with our lives,” Kuntz said.

Rep. Abigail Spanberger announces bid for governor Staff Reports U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger made it official Monday morning. She will run for Virginia governor in 2025 instead of seeking reelection to Congress next year.

After a weekend of speculation, Spanberger, 44, a three-term Democrat, shared the news via video and news release early Monday, Nov. 13.

The video, dubbed “What Matters Most,” talks about lowering prescription drug prices as well as supporting small businesses, easing inflation, recruiting and retaining teachers and protecting abortion rights.

“The greatest honor of my life has been to represent Virginians in the U.S. House. Today, I am proud to announce that I will be working hard to gain the support and trust of all Virginians to continue this service as the next Governor of Virginia,” Spanberger said in her announcement. “Virginia is where I grew up, where I am raising my own family and where I intend to build a stronger future for the next generation of Virginians.”

Spanberger represents Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, which includes the eastern half of Prince William County.

Spanberger won the 2022 election by a slim margin, beating Prince William County Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, by about 4 points. Heavily Democratic eastern Prince William County pulled Spanberger over the finish line after absentee ballots were counted in the race.

Spanberger’s decision not to seek re-election means that both Prince William and Fauquier counties will have open congressional seats in 2024.

Congressional District, announced in September that she would not run again due to her diagnosis of a more severe form of Parkinson’s Disease.

Last month, former Virginia House speaker Eileen Filler-Corn announced she would not run for governor in 2025 and will instead vie for Wexton’s seat.

Spanberger, a former CIA officer and law enforcement officer for the U.S. Postal Service, won her first race for Congress in 2018. Prior to her election, the 7th District had been held by Republicans for almost 50 years. In 2021, the redistricting shifted the district north from the Richmond suburbs and into Prince William County.

Virginia governors cannot serve consecutive terms. Gov. Glenn Youngkin has not yet announced his next political move but was widely expected to attempt a run at the U.S. presidency if Republicans fared well in last Tuesday’s election.

As for other potential gubernatorial candidates, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, a Democrat, is expected to announce campaign plans soon, according to the Associated Press.

Among Republicans, Attorney General Jason Miyares and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears are also seen as possible contenders for the Virginia Governor’s Mansion, the Associated Press reports.

Rosie’s loses its bet on Manassas Park ROSIE’S, from page 1 Manassas Park Mayor Jeanette Rishell (D) expressed relief after the vote. She has been opposed to the referendum since it was first proposed in June, saying gambling did not fit her “vision” for their family-oriented city.

“I really did not know what to expect on Election Day,” Rishell said in an email following the vote. “But I was relieved when I saw the results.”

Vice Mayor Alanna Mensing (D) said she was both “proud of the voter turnout and very proud of the results.”

“I was relieved to see it was overwhelmingly voted down. In my heart, I knew that this was not a good fit for our city,” Mensing said.

“Through this vote, the people have shown us that they are not willing to compromise the character of Manassas Park to chase dollar signs.”

Churchill Downs said a Rosie’s Gaming Emporium in Manassas Park would create about 150 new jobs and generate an estimated $1 million to $1.5 million in new annual tax revenue from gaming taxes as well as sales, meals, real estate and business personal property taxes, according to the “Manassas Park Wins” website, which was operated

by Churchill Downs.

Those benefits were enough to win the support of Manassas Park City Councilmembers Yesenia Amaya (D), Laura Hampton (I), Michael Carrera

SUBMITTED

A rendering of the Rosie’s Gaming Emporium pitched for the Manassas Park Shopping Center.

(I) and Darryl Moore (D), all of whom publicly supported the referendum.

Carrera, who had been involved with the campaign since the initial effort to collect signatures to place it on the ballot, said that he was “disappointed, but not surprised” by the results.

The issue wasn’t a partisan one, Carrera said, saying he believes religious, Republican voters and more progressive Democratic voters, both of whom share a distaste for gambling, teamed up to defeat the measure.

After such a decisive defeat, “I don’t see Churchill Downs trying again to bring a Rosie’s to Manassas Park for a decade or two,” Carrera said.

Del. Danica Roem, a Democrat

who represents Manassas Park in the state House and in January will continue to represent the city in the state Senate due to her Election Day win in the 30th District, offered three possible reasons for Rosie’s rejection.

“If you ask any random citizen what pari-mutuel wagering is, they’ll likely shrug,” Roem said.

“I know Rosie’s had an entire campaign to define that to the citizens, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the citizens felt comfortable with it, even after learning about it,” she said.

The way Churchill Downs handled the matter was also an obstacle: “Going directly to referendum instead of

working with the governing body … was problematic,” Roem said.

Finally, Roem said the business model itself is complex.

“I think people see the industry, as a whole, as one in which people are being told they can win money even though the business model is predicated on people losing more often than they win,” Roem said.

Now that the Manassas Park voters have voted down pari-mutuel wagering in their city, the city council will work together to look for ways to relieve the tax burden on residents, Rishell said.

“The city will continue to try to recruit mainstream businesses as we have already been doing.”

“I am glad that so many people came to the polls last Tuesday to share their thoughts about Rosie’s joining Manassas Park,” Mensing said. “I look forward to finding more family-friendly economic opportunities to help lower our tax burden.”

Carrera said he “wasn’t counting on the $1.5 million from Rosie’s” and will “continue to look at other options to diversify revenue to assist with schools, roads and a tax reduction.”

The Rosie’s Gaming Emporium that opened in Dumfries in 2021 will be the sole pari-mutuel betting facility in Northern Virginia. It will soon be replaced by “The Rose,” a casino-sized pari-mutuel gaming outlet that’s set to open next year, also in Dumfries.

Mark Hubbard, a spokesperson for Churchill Downs, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Deshundra Jefferson will bring a different approach to data center development Regarding the recent elections for the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, 4-4 is not 5-3. Why do so many act as though this new configuration of the board is not a monumental shift?

Chair-Elect Deshundra Jefferson is a Democrat, but not the data-center-wielding kind. Sure, she believes in economic growth and isn’t against data centers, like the vast majority of us, I might add, but she opposes approving the about 50 data centers that comprise the Prince William Digital Gateway and Devlin Technology Park, all in one fell swoop and under the auspices of a lame duck board. She has said so, often and loudly, and with

the foundational wisdom that “it is easier to add than to subtract.”

Yeah, it is, especially when an extreme drought is taking hold in our shared Potomac Shenandoah water basin, and there are multiple hydroelectric plants on both the Potomac and the Shenandoah. Do you know how much water it takes to generate electricity for all types of power plants? It gets data centers in the top 10 for water usage.

In water shortages, human consumption gets first dibs, and shortages are coming: “Simulations show short-term and long-term droughts

with streamflows up to 20% lower than those experienced during the drought of record, which would result in broad impacts to public water supply as well as aquatic life and other beneficial uses during these periods,” according to The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality’s water supply and planning resources plan.

Whole cities and utilities could be faced with unmet demand if nothing changes. Support Jefferson’s efforts now!

BRIDGET BELL Gainesville

Will Chair Ann Wheeler score data center wins as the clock winds down?

Election Day marked the “two-minute warning” of County Board Chair Ann Wheeler’s mercifully evaporating tenure.

With her offense exhausted, and her season on the line, the quarterback of data center devastation needs two quick scores to carry her developer teammates to the playoffs before the final gun.

She knows what she has to do. Her coaching staff has laid out a plan, and the plays are written on her wrist band.

Shaking off the minor injuries inflicted by three scathing planning office staff reviews,

she’ll send her supervisors on a series of quick out-patterns to the sidelines to gain yardage while managing the clock.

Once in the Devlin Technology Park red zone, she’ll drive to the goal line behind the blocking of Stanley Martin and punch it in on a quarterback sneak.

Ruin a few neighborhoods. Spike the ball. Get ready for the onside kick.

Now onto the final drive to deliver the coup de grace to Prince William County. With little time remaining, it will require a series of carefully ®

orchestrated trick plays to put the Prince William Digital Gateway in the postseason.

It won’t be easy. The citizens will be bringing the pressure, and she can’t afford to take a sack as she grinds toward field goal range.

As she reaches the cusp in the final seconds, she’ll rely on the strong leg of QTS to kick the county into a digital hellscape.

The ball is snapped. It’s placed down and booted. It’s high enough; it’s deep enough...

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PETITION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR REVISION OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE DESIGNATED RIDER SNA UNDER § 56-585.1 A 6 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2023-00171 · Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, designated Rider SNA. · In this case, Dominion has asked the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) to approve Rider SNA for the rate year beginning September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025 (“Rate Year”). · Dominion requests a revenue requirement of $94,941,005, which would increase the monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity by $0.85 per month. · A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on April 24, 2024, at 10 a.m., for the receipt of public witness testimony. · A hearing on the Petition shall be convened at 10 a.m. on April 24, 2024, or at the conclusion of the public witness hearing, whichever is later, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive the testimony and evidence of the Company, any respondents, and the Staff. · Further information about this case is available on the Commission’s website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information.

On October 3, 2023, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed a petition (“Petition”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for revision of a rate adjustment clause (“RAC”), Rider SNA, for the costs associated with the preparation of the applications for Subsequent License Renewal (“SLR”) to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to extend the operating licenses (the “SLR Component”), and the projects reasonably appropriate to upgrade or replace systems and equipment deemed to be necessary to operate Dominion’s Surry Units 1 and 2 and North Anna Units 1 and 2 safely and reliably in the extended period of operation (the “Capital Upgrade Component”) (collectively, the SLR Component and the Capital Upgrade Component comprise the “Program”). The Company seeks revision of Rider SNA for the rate year commencing September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025 (“Rate Year”).

The Petition explains that in Case No. PUR-2021-00229, the Commission approved Phase I of the Program, consisting of the Company’s subsequent license renewal applications and 33 Capital Upgrade Component projects. The total estimated costs for Phase I are approximately $1.2 billion. The Company filed the instant Petition as the second annual update to Rider SNA pursuant to the Commission’s Final Order in Case No. PUR-2022-00162.

In its Petition, Dominion states that Phase I of the Program is proceeding on time and on budget, and that the Company received license renewals for the Surry Units on May 4, 2021. The Company asserts that it continues to pursue the subsequent license renewal application for North Anna Units 1 and 2 and has submitted materials to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”). The Company states that the NRC is scheduled to issue the supplemental safety evaluation report and the draft supplemental environmental impact statement in October 2023. The Company further asserts that it expects to receive the North Anna SLR in July 2024, which is prior to the commencement of the Rate Year in this proceeding. The Company states that in this proceeding, it is seeking to recover costs for North Anna incurred after February 28, 2022, which were deferred pursuant to the Commission’s 2021 Rider SNA Final Order.

The Company asserts it has continued to implement the Capital Upgrade Component projects consistent with the scheduled station outages and outage events at both stations, and that it has successfully performed work on six projects at Surry and one project at North Anna during the scheduled outages.

The three components of the revenue requirement for Rider SNA are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor, the Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”) Cost Recovery Factor, and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. According to the Petition, the Projected Cost Recovery Factor consists of projected net plant balances as of the monthend immediately preceding the Rate Year (i.e., as of August 31, 2024) in determination of the rate base and the calculation of financing costs on rate base. The AFUDC Cost Recovery Factor represents the amortization of the unrecovered AFUDC accrued from March 1, 2022, through August 31, 2022. According to the Petition, the additional AFUDC is the remainder of financing costs on North Anna Units 1 and 2 deferred for recovery in Case No. PUR2021-00229. The Actual Cost True-Up Factor will recover from, or credit to, customers any under-/over-recovery of costs from the most recently completed calendar year.

The total revenue requirement requested for recovery for the Rate Year through Rider SNA is $94,941,005. The Company asserts that it has allocated costs to the Virginia jurisdiction and customer classes using its 2022 Production Demand Allocation Factor, consistent with the way production plant costs for the Surry and North Anna facilities are allocated in the cost of service.

If the proposed Rider SNA is approved as proposed, it would incrementally increase the residential customer’s monthly bill, based on 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, by $0.85 compared to the current Rider SNA. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Petition and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals.

TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Petition and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Petition and supporting documents.

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this proceeding that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on Dominion’s Petition. On April 24, 2024, at 10 a.m., the Hearing Examiner appointed to this case will hold the telephonic portion of the hearing for the purpose of receiving the testimony of public witnesses.

altered along with my perspective. As the decades have progressed, the list of complaints I present to an increasing number of medical specialists has grown as has the number of friends and relatives who fell prey to serious and sometimes fatal conditions.

What it’s done, at last, is teach me the meaning of the word “grace.”

Many meet encroaching old age and life’s vicissitudes with a “why me?” resentment. Wiser souls, including my late wife, respond with a “why not me?” acceptance.

As the years go by, we do well to approach advancing years the same as we regard the change of seasons and the fluxing and flowing passage of time, which is to say a pinch of resignation and a generous scoop of savoring what we have to enjoy.

Twelve months of spring would appeal to most of us, or maybe a forever summer, but that’s not how the game is played. Autumn brings shorter days and falling leaves that herald the short days and long nights of winter. But this is no reason to shrug our shoulders and stand motionless in the deep freeze.

“We cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning,” the psychologist Carl Jung observed. “For what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.”

In other words, Jung recommends that we live the best mental, emotional and physical life we can with the time we’re assigned.

My all-time favorite quote, though, I discovered when researching for a book. It sums up what’s become a mantra in the autumn of my own life. Baseball legend Satchel Paige once asked, “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you was?”

Nowhere to run Battlefield smothers county’s top rusher in 26-6 win over rival Patriot

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

As neighboring archrivals, the Patriot and Battlefield football programs know each other very, very well.

Battlefield made a point of knowing Patriot even better for Friday’s Class 6 Region B quarterfinal. Specifically, the Bobcats game-planned to “meet and greet” Pioneer star junior running back Jackson McCarter on every down in Haymarket.

The No. 3-seeded hosts (11-0) shut down Prince William County’s top rusher like no one else has this year in a dominating 26-6 win to move on to meet No. 2 seed Mountain View (11-0) in the region semifinals.

“Our guys took the challenge.

They knew how good Jackson was.

We saw it first-hand last week and they took some pride in playing a better game,” said Battlefield coach Greg Hatfield.

McCarter ran for 189 yards in Battlefield’s come-from-behind 2623 win the previous week and came in with 1,754 yards. One week later, it was all Battlefield. The hosts dominated on defense – including scoring on a 25-yard interception return by Cole Woodson – and got 170 rushing yards and a TD from Sage Davis to hand their rival a stinging sixth loss in a row in the matchup.

McCarter was held to 24 yards on 10 carries, stats that are almost impossible to believe considering he had 381 yards earlier this year against Gainesville and was the Cedar Run District Offensive Player of the Year.

“We made a couple of changeups and we know each other so well. A wrinkle here or a wrinkle there can make a difference,” said Hatfield, who is now 5-0 against Patriot in his three years since taking over. ”Our coaches preached win the physical battle up front and I think that’s what we did,” said linebacker Brandon Binkowski. “The offensive line got off the ball, fired off. Defensive line fired off. Linebackers, DBs played great. We focused on practicing that and got the job done.”

Patriot coach Sean Finnerty said injuries on the offensive line, mistakes and Battlefield’s strong defense collectively ended his team’s dreams.

“We didn’t have our best game tonight and sometimes that happens.

You can’t play a good team like Battlefield when you don’t have your ‘A’ effort. Our effort was there but our execution wasn’t,” Finnerty said.

Twenty minutes after the game, the pain still lingered on Pioneer quarterback Tyler Knutson’s face as he walked across the parking lot to the visiting locker room.

“That’s one of the best defenses

Battlefield’s defense on Patriot star Jackson McCarter was the key to the Bobcats’ 26-6 win in the Class 6 Region B quarterfinals. Battlefield (11-0) next plays Friday at Mountain View (11-0).

Friday’s Class 6 Region B semifinals: No. 4 Colonial Forge (10-1) at No. 1 FREEDOM (10-0); No. 3 BATTLEFIELD (11-0) at No. 2 Mountain View (11-0) Class 3 Region B semifinals: No. 3 Kettle Run (10-1) at No. 2 BRENTSVILLE (10-1); No. 4 Armstrong (8-3) at No. 1 Thomas Jefferson (Richmond) (10-0)

Jackson McCarter found little running room against Jayden Blackstock and a swarming Battlefield defense. we’ve played all season. They’ve got good players up front. We made adjustments, so did they, they just came out on top tonight,” the junior said.

Asked if he wishes Battlefield well in their next playoff game, he said, “Of course.”

With an eerie fog on the field at gametime and students decked out in camouflage gear for Veteran’s Day, the stage was set for another showdown.

The tone was set early as McCar-

ter lost three yards on his first carry as he was swarmed by multiple Bobcats.

The trend continued as he never got untracked before eventually leaving with a high ankle sprain suffered in last play of the third quarter near the goalline and the Bobcats leading 26-0.

“We knew they were going to do everything to stop Jackson. He had (about) 200 against them last week,” said Finnerty. “We knew there would be plays in the passing game and we

didn’t make those plays. That was the name of the game.”

Battlefield put an 80-yard drive together to score on its second possession as Davis powered up the middle for a 20-yard TD run. Once he cleared the line he was home free as Robbie Keras’ kick made it 7-0 with 54 seconds left in the first quarter.

The game remained tight as Patriot signal caller Knutson was under constant pressure. Early in the second quarter, Knutson hit Colton Kershaw across the middle for a potential TD but the ball was not caught.

Battlefield made it 14-0 on Woodson’s pick six 34 seconds before halftime. “I saw him take a peak this way,” said Woodson, who had clear sailing to the end zone.

Battlefield made it 21-0 on the second play of the third quarter as quarterback Calem O’Shea threw to Bryce Banning in the backfield and Banning took it 53 yards up the right side for a TD. See BATTLEFIELD, page 16

What better way for a potential buyer to fall in love with your home and neighborhood than to see them decorated for the holidays?

Selling a home during the holidays: A survival guide

By Denise Schefer

Long & Foster Warrenton

Can you believe that daylight savings time has already ended, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner? The holiday season can bring time with loved ones, travel and days off work, but can also be a time of added stress with special meals to prepare, gifts to buy and guests to host.

What happens if you plan to sell your home during the holiday season?

Here are a few of the many advantages of selling your home during the last two months of the year.

• Less competition: There are fewer houses on the market to compete for the buyer’s attention.

• More serious buyers: Those who tour your home the weekend after Thanksgiving are committed buyers.

• Tax advantages: Sellers can take

advantage of tax benefits earlier. For example, if you sell your home in December, you can put the settlement expenses on your 2023 taxes. If you wait until January to sell, you will not be able to include them until you do your 2024 taxes.

• Flexible schedules: Many people take time off work during the holidays. As a seller, this could mean more time to accommodate showings. Buyers may have extra time to tour homes and schedule tours earlier in the day instead of after work.

• Coincides with job trends: January is a common time for employees to start a new job. These buyers will likely want to get into their new home and get settled before their first day of work.

• Decorated neighborhoods are inviting: As neighborhoods welcome the holidays with decora-

tions, sellers can leverage the holiday spirit to their advantage. What better way for a potential buyer to fall in love with your home and neighborhood than to see them decorated for the holidays?

If you find yourself selling your home during the holiday season, here are some tips to help you get through the process with ease: • Do not overdecorate: A few classic holiday decorations will go a long way toward setting the mood. Remember: You are selling your home, not the nutcracker collection you normally display.

• Decorate with greenery: Garlands and wreaths add a nice, wintery feel to your home.

• Turn on holiday lights: Simple white holiday lights add warmth to a mantle or banister. Be sure to turn them on during showings.

• Minimize clutter: Keep in check all the extra “stuff” that can come

into your home during the holidays. Small bins are great to store items you use on a regular basis and are easy to put away quickly and neatly.

• Make rooms feel cozier: Textured blankets, pillows and a plush carpet bring warmth and extra life to your rooms.

• Add curb appeal: Clear pathways of snow, provide plenty of outdoor lighting and a nice new doormat to welcome potential buyers. First impressions are so important!

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.”

The holidays are stressful even if you don’t have to buy or sell a home. Here are a few ways to minimize stress.

Plan ahead: If you know you are going to be hosting Aunt Suzie for lunch the day before Christmas or need to take an appetizer to the New Year’s party, make sure you are prepared ahead of time.

Make lists: Add the ingredients you’ll need to your regular grocery lists to avoid last minute trips to the store.

Shop early: Prepare a list of all the gifts you’ll need to buy and be on the lookout when shopping in late summer/early fall for something everyone might like to avoid last minute, impulse gift buys.

Consider giving “consumable” gifts or experiences, which can be enjoyed but

will not take up space in their homes.

Keep it simple: Consider minimal decorations. You don’t need to use every holiday decoration you own every year. Instead, use your favorite decorations or alternate decorations from year to year. A few decorations on the mantle or banister or a runner on your table will go a long way toward making your home feel festive.

Take time for yourself: Don’t make too many plans. Focus on the activities that are most important to you.

Pamper yourself a little. Read the next chapter in the book you’re reading or go for a jog. You’ll feel better afterwards, and you’ll be ready to tackle the next item on your to-do list.

Gregory Wayne Nelson Sept. 4, 1960 - Nov. 4, 2023

Sophomore quarterback Calum O’Shea and the Bobcats haven’t lost to Patriot since 2019.

Bobcats beat Pioneers with defense BATTLEFIELD, from page 14 O’Shea scored on a 1-yard run with 1:59 left in the third to make it 26-0 after the PAT hit the right upright.

Friday’s loss ended a uniquely frustrating season for the Pioneers.

While they finished 6-5, their five losses were to powerful teams, with chances to win at least three of them: the Mountain View, Colonial Forge and the first Battlefield game.

“We scheduled hard this year. We scheduled the hardest non-district schedule really in the area and it was for a reason,” said Finnerty. “I want our kids to be battle-tested when we got to the end. We were in the whole Mountain View game and lose it at the end by a couple bad plays. We’re beating Forge the whole game and we lose at the end of that, and last week against Battlefield, same thing. We’re a young team and we’re making those young mistakes. It kind of caught up to us.”

Battlefield, which had a far easier non-conference schedule with games against sub-.500 teams Hylton (3-7), Potomac (4-7), Gar-Field (4-6) and Woodbridge (4-6), finished a 10-0 regular season for the third straight year.

Last year they were upset at home

in their first playoff game by Colonial Forge 17-13, and Hatfield didn’t want to see another early exit.

“It’s a different team. Last year Colonial Forge was a tough team.

We talked about that. We talked to our kids. Are we ready to be done?

We weren’t and we played like that tonight,” he said.

Bobcat senior Binkowski agreed.

“Last year we got upset in the first round and I remember the feeling of the seniors and some of my friends.

We didn’t want that to happen this year and we focused up and got the job done,” he said.

Asked about Battlefield’s sixgame winning streak over Patriot, Hatfield said the games are always tight and can go either way. Patriot last won in 2019.

“Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Last week the ball bounced our way a couple of times,” Hatfield said. “Two years ago in my first year, they scored and went for two and we stopped them to win the game. It’s exciting. It’s gonna be a great game every time we play them. They’re a talented team, so well coached and we know we gotta show up to play to win.”

Greg Nelson was born Gregory Wayne Nelson on Sept. 4, 1960, in Portland, OR, to parents Lloyd and Gertrude Nelson. He was raised and grew up in Woodland, Washington State in a log cabin on 60 acres. As a child, Greg immediately took an interest in hunting and fishing off the land his family owned. He would often go to Cedar Creek nearby and catch salmon and hunt for deer in the woods. Greg also had an interest in guitar growing up and learned how to play from his neighbor and friend Carl Fiordolino and would often go to his house and jam for hours with friends joining in.

In 1978, Greg graduated from Woodland High School. Shortly after graduating he took a job as a logger to support himself for a couple years. When Mt. St. Helens blew up in 1980, he enlisted in the United States Navy as a machinist mate. After joining the Navy, he met Brenda Gilbert and they were married shortly thereafter and had a son named Christopher. In 1996, Greg became a Chief Petty Officer while stationed in Norfolk, VA, and was immediately transferred to Annapolis, MD, where he was an instructor at the Naval Academy. In 1998, Greg left Annapolis, MD, and relocated to Northern Virginia in Woodbridge for the remainder of his military career and retired in 2004 as Chief Petty Officer in United States Navy.

After retiring from the Navy, Greg worked for the Doubletree Hotel until 2006. Upon leaving the Doubletree, he accepted employment with Prince William County Buildings and Grounds as a maintenance mechanic at the Western District Police Station. In 2007, Greg unfortunately lost his wife Brenda to a long battle with cancer. Greg would continue working for the County during this time and would meet Sandi Morris, his long-time girlfriend in 2008. Greg would leave his job with the County and go to work for Sentara Northern Virginia Medical as a power plant mechanic and would remain at the job until 2022. During this time at Sentara, Greg achieved a milestone - earning his D.C. Steam Engineer Class 3 License in 2018. When Greg left Sentara, he gained employment as a power plant operator at Emcor Government Services at Quantico, VA. Greg had many hobbies and loved hunting, fishing, camping and visiting Virginia Beach on vacation. He was a very honorable man who served his country proudly for 24 years in the Navy and was a true patriot in every sense of the word. He was known among his family, friends and co-workers to be a very caring, kind and humble person.

He was always there for the people he loved and never let them down.

He often talked about God and was a man of deep faith and prayed for others. Greg passed away at the age of 63 on Nov. 4th , 2023.

He is survived by his son, Chris, daughter-in-law Grace, brother, Eric & his wife, Dorie, sister, Lori & her husband, John and his dear girlfriend, Sandi.

This obituary was written by his son Chris Nelson in memory of his father, Greg Nelson.

Flowers are welcome and can be donated for the service, which will be held at 1 PM on Sat., Nov. 18th at Quaker Baptist Church, 4665 Chestnut Fork Road, Bedford, VA 24523. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church. Interment will follow the service in the church cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in memory of Greg Nelson, U. S. Navy.

Arrangements are being handled by Updike Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Bedford.

Let us help you place a memorial or obituary.
