Bristow residents brace for data center vote Protest precedes Nov. 28 vote on nine-building complex along Devlin Road

46 dogs seized from Fauquier home put down

By Shannon Clark Times Staff Writer

When Marion Ransell-Dobbins bought her home in Victory Lakes in Bristow back in 2004, she thought she had found her forever home. At 63, she now fears it could end up next to Prince William County’s latest data center industrial zone. Like her neighbors in Victory Lakes—as well as those in Amberleigh Station, Silver Leaf Estates, Crossman Creek, Sheffield Manor and Lanier Farms— Ransell-Dobbins objects to the proposed “Devlin Technology Park,” which proposes to up to nine data centers along Devlin Road. The loss of trees and green space and the threat of ongoing data center noise have her worried the industrial complex will forever change the character of their neighborhoods. “Am I going to have the home that my kids can come back (to) and have Thanksgiving?” Ransell-Dobbins asked during a recent interview with the Prince William Times. “Am I going to have the home that my grandkids can come back (to) and listen to the birds? ... And see the fox run across the backyard? Am I going to have that?” “I’m a fighter,” added Ransell-Dobbins, a professional historian. “I’m African American, and I grew up in segregation, and I know how to fight legally. ... Something has

on their Marshall campus. They talk to the turkeys as they clean and fill their water and pass feed over the fence to one another. “They’re goofy and hang out in a clump,” an eighth grader said of the turkeys. “You can yell at them, and they talk back.” The students have a favorite, the biggest tom, which they’ve named Squidward. “But we know he’s going to end up on a plate,” a seventh grader said.

A jury found Fauquier County dog breeder Irina Barrett guilty of 60 misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals on Friday after a week-long tri- Irina Barrett al in Fauquier County Circuit Court. Each conviction could result in a sentence of up to one year in jail for a maximum of 60 years behind bars. But the 12-member jury also found Barrett, 45, not guilty of three felony animal abuse charges tied to the dog breeding operation she ran out of her Broad Run home, where 75 dogs were seized from filthy conditions in January 2020. The difference between the misdemeanor and felony charges has to do with the element of intent. For the misdemeanors, the prosecution only had to prove that dogs were “ill-treated” in Barrett’s care or that Barrett deprived dogs “of necessary food, drink, shelter or emergency veterinary treatment.” To convict Barrett of the three felony counts, the jury had to agree that Barrett willfully inflicted inhumane injury on three dogs connected to those charges. Each of the three had to be put down because of health conditions. Based on its verdict, the jury did not find that Barrett intended to harm her dogs.

A public hearing and possible vote on the Devlin Technology Park is set for Tuesday, Nov. 28. The board will take up the much larger nearly 1,800acre Digital Gateway rezonings on Tuesday, Dec. 12. Bristow residents have been fighting the Devlin Technology Park since early 2023. The project was first up for a vote back in February but was delayed indefinitely because it lacked the support of the board’s five-member majority. The decision to defer the vote was made after 3 a.m. on Feb. 8 after a marathon board meeting preceded by a resident protest. About 30 residents staged another protest this past Sunday, Nov. 19, that included a march up and down Linton Hall Road. The group included Felix Rodriguez, an immigrant from Puerto Rico who bought his home in Victory Lakes back in 2008. Rodriguez said he and his wife moved to Bristow because of the trees and open space and believes the data centers will transform the look and feel of the area. “I understand the benefit the data centers might have for taxes, ... but in my opinion, Prince William is already saturated” with data centers,” Ro-

Raising turkeys, learning lessons TURKEYS, from page 1 The turkeys, the eggs—and later, the pigs—are sold as part of the adolescents’ microeconomy, providing funds for activities and trips. Adolescent Director Theo Grayson said the program provides an opportunity to talk about where food comes from and its carbon footprint. “These turkeys have been within a 10-mile radius their whole life,” she said. “And they have a good life—on grass, in a large area.” Ayrshire Farm in Upperville donates the broad-breasted bronzes, a heritage breed that has a mixture of white and dark meat, and the birds return to Ayrshire for processing. The students provide all the care, including on weekends and school breaks. They help build the roost and fencing and learn to notice signs of injury or illness. They also learn related business skills, such as QuickBooks, which a ninth grader is running this year and will teach to other students, and they make decisions on when to spend money on new feeders or other items. Three of the 25 turkeys did not sell this year, so the group discussed what to do with the extras, ultimately deciding to offer them to the Fauquier Community Food Bank. “We talk about how you participate and support your community when you have privileges that others don’t,” Grayson said. “We try to instill, as humans, what should be your contribution to the world.” Parting with the turkeys they’ve raised for months is a lesson in itself, Grayson said. “It gives them an opportunity to be closer to death,” she said. “As a society, we’re socialized to fear that, but it’s a natural process, and we take

sor’s seat in the Nov. 7 election. Gordy voted in July 2022 to recommend that the supervisors approve the Devlin project but changed his mind after hearing from unhappy residents. Gordy said the project should go back to the planning commission, or the supervisors should deny it altogether. “Devlin is surrounded by homes on three sides. It should be homes,” Gordy said.

Updated plan

Stanley Martin’s original rezoning plan sought approval for 11 to 14 data centers on the property that could have come within only about 100 feet from the property line for Chris Yung Elementary School. In response to residents’ objections, Stanley Martin submitted a fourth application in September that sets aside the 85 acres closest to Chris Yung Elementary for parks and recreational purposes and reduces the total number of data centers to nine. The revised plan also promises setbacks of at least 2,200 feet from the school and 500 feet from nearby homes. The plan also reduces the maximum height of the data centers from 95 to 81 feet and says the buildings should use a closed-loop cooling system, which can be less noisy than cooled-air systems. Still, many Bristow residents say the changes don’t go far enough. See DEVLIN ROAD, page 4

the fear and unknown out of that.” The microeconomy includes other projects, such as sales of wreaths, holiday baskets, hot lunches and community breakfasts, and it funds activities like a camping trip for bonding at the beginning of the year and an international trip taken each spring by the ninth graders to places like South Africa, Ecuador, Costa Rica or Peru. “The school classroom budget is $500, so the kids raise money for anything else,” Grayson said, adding that past funds have paid for a printer, a broom, a refrigerator, always with the students pricing and selecting the items. The group works with local businesses like Tri-County Feeds in Marshall, where it purchases its hog feed, and Tractor Supply, which gave them a deal on chicks. They also use equipment donated by members of the community and work together to modify or repair items as needed. “We instill that the partnership goes both ways,” Grayson said. “We write thank-you cards where they don’t just sign their name but say what they’re thankful for.” As part of its community involvement, the school partners each year with Field & Main restaurant in Marshall for a Seedlings dinner, with seats available for purchase to the public. Students prepare and serve the dinner with the Field & Main professional chefs using meat from the pigs they raised. For the students, active work on the farm, at the restaurant or as part of their Adopt-A-Highway commitment on Belvoir Road not only engages them with the community but fulfills many requirements of this age group, according to the Montessori model. Education pioneer Maria Montessori developed a new teaching method in the early 1900s Italy. Montessori placed an emphasis on the physical environment for learning and a belief that young children are capable of directing their own learning through

their individual interests. Farm work, then and now, fits well with her approach. “It really meets the needs of their growing bodies, to lift heavy things and dig holes, big muscle work,” she said. Intellectually, the work involves the kind of problem-solving Montessori hoped young students would encounter as they explored their own interests and those of their peers. “They are consistently resolving issues, compromising, figuring out what will work,” Grayson said. “It’s a ton of collaboration.” The goal, she said, isn’t necessarily to raise farmers but to learn responsibility for something beyond yourself. And they do learn about animals, food and life. “The new students learn not to attach as if these were pets; they learn they have a different purpose,” Grayson said. “It’s about being connected with your food, where it comes from and how it’s raised and learning how to support your community as a consumer when choosing food, shopping locally.” They also learn by trial and error.

“They’re practicing how to be adults and making mistakes in a safe environment,” she said. “It helps them navigate this delicate stage of life.” For many students, especially those coming from places outside of Fauquier like Gainesville, Centreville or Haymarket, the experience is their first hands-on exposure to agriculture, and there can be a big learning curve. “Some kids are scared to even interact with the animals when they arrive, and they go from ‘I don’t do bugs and dirt’ to hanging out with the pigs,” Grayson said. “It’s wonderful to see the power of connection.” When the turkeys escape their enclosure—not uncommon—chasing them down becomes a highlight of the day. “There’s an art to getting them back in,” said one student. They also appreciate the opportunity to take a break, mental or physical, to visit the animals or work outside. “It’s nice to be able to be outside and hang out with the animals,” an eighth grader said, “and not always be in the classroom.”

Fahad Abdulrazzaq

Woodbridge H.S. grad, West Point student wins Rhodes Scholarship By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

Thirty-two students in the U.S. have been awarded the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship this year— and one of them is a West Point student with roots in Prince William County. “NoVa and Prince William County raised me,” said Fahad Abdulrazzaq, a student at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, who will attend Oxford University in the fall. “The community and mentorship and educational value has allowed me to succeed and not fear taking bigger risks.” Abdulrazzaq, 22, was born in Iraq in 2001 and moved to the U.S. as a young child in 2007 after his father, an interpreter for the U.S. Army, and his family were given special visas. He grew up attending Prince William County schools and graduated from Woodbridge Senior High School in 2019. He plans for his studies at Oxford to focus on refugees and forced migrants—people who Abdulrazzaq holds close to his heart because, in his own words, he “almost became one.” Though he does not know any refugees personally, he says his eyes were opened to the refugee experience on a trip to Israel and Palestine, where he saw refugee camps firsthand. “In global conflicts, there’s always a side that has to face the implications of that conflict,” Abdulrazzaq said. “What I want to understand is how we can protect those populations and provide them avenues to build back up. My studies will investigate how I can use my role in the Army to shed more light on refugees and forced migrants.” Active in his high school’s JROTC, Abdulrazzaq applied and was accepted to West Point, where he is active in peer leadership roles, including being a regimental commander overseeing about 1,200 fellow students. He also worked as an intern in the Joint Chiefs of Staff office at the Pentagon. His majors are international affairs and cyber engineering and is also a boxer on West Point’s boxing team. Abdulrazzaq said the fact that he will continue his studies at Oxford

University on a Rhodes Scholarship “hasn’t really sunk in.” His advice to high schoolers who want to follow in his footsteps is to find a mentor to help them through school. That’s something he strives to be for others in his role as a regimental commander. “I would say peer leadership is the hardest thing, but it’s also one of the most rewarding things,” Abdulrazzaq told the Prince William Times. “It’s pretty much about putting yourself in a place where you can be judged and criticized, but also you have so much of an impact on people.” Abdulrazzaq said he had several mentors at Woodbridge Senior High School, where he recently returned to give a presentation to the JROTC class. He still maintains a connection to the high school and says he knows of at least one student who was inspired to join the JROTC because of him. “It feels like just yesterday I was in that seat,” Abdulrazzaq said. “It really put me back in their shoes. I thought, ‘What can I say that will inspire them?’” Abdulrazzaq said he spoke to the JROTC students about life at West Point and the traits a successful student needs to have and then gave them some advice. “Find someone you can see on a regular basis and feel at home with, who can look over your college essays and who can see your blind spots when you don’t know what they are, and really home in on that, because those bonds don’t break over time.” Abdulrazzaq said. Abdulrazzaq himself cites some former teachers as mentors but also said his parents had a large influence on him. “They’re foreign, so they’ve never gone to a high school and don’t understand what the American school system is about. But what they do understand is courage and what it means to continuously fight and pursue what you want,” said Abdulrazzaq, who also has a brother who recently graduated from West Point. “They showed us what success meant.” Reach Anya Sczerzenie at asczerzenie@fauquier.com

Jury convicts dog breeder of animal abuse BARRETT, from page 1 In emotional court testimony last week, Fauquier SPCA Executive Director Devon Settle and veterinarian Dr. Elizabeth Krause recounted the putrid conditions inside Irina Barrett’s Broad Run home back on Jan. 28, 2020, when sheriff’s deputies seized 75 dogs suffering from neglect as well as 57 chickens, three turtles, two guinea pigs and a parakeet. Law-enforcement officers obtained a warrant to search Barrett’s home, located on Beverleys Mill Road, after Barrett brought a gravely ill dog named Yeva to a Maryland veterinarian for treatment. The dog later died, and the vet and his staff suspected abuse and neglect, according to court testimony.

Inhumane conditions, sick dogs

On the witness stand on Tuesday, Nov. 14, Settle recounted walking through Barrett’s home and seeing dozens of dogs, mostly Doberman pinschers and French bulldogs, crammed into old, rusting crates with little space to move. There was no dog food or water in any of the crates. The home was filthy, and the stench forced deputies to take breaks to go outside to get fresh air as the dogs were being removed. In the garage, deputies also found a box of dead puppies, “each wrapped in newspaper,” Settle testified. The puppies were “different breeds, different ages and different stages of decomposition,” she said. Krause testified about the condition of the dogs when they were first taken from Barrett’s home to the SCPA shelter and also after they had received intense medical intervention. On intake, several of the dogs were very sick due to prolonged neglect and the presence of untreated illnesses, Krause said. Many were dangerously underweight and lethargic due to lack of access to appropriate food, she said. Krause said dogs suffered from conditions including weeping abscesses; nasal discharge; respiratory infections, including coughing and pneumonia; broken and worn-down teeth; eye ulcers, discharge and scarring; ear infections; and hair loss.

Stanley Martin was a major campaign donor to the Democratic supervisors ahead of the Nov. 7 election. Since 2021, the developer donated nearly $55,000 to the sitting board members and Deshundra Jefferson, who unseated current Chair Ann Wheeler in the June primary and went on to defeat Lawson on Nov. 7 to become the new county board chair. Stanley Martin doled out $11,000 to Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco; $11,000 to Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge; $10,000 to Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan; $8,000 to Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac; and $4,998 to Wheeler, D-At Large, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. Jefferson received a $10,000 from Stanley Mar-

Many of the dogs suffered from genetic issues, as well, she said. During the three years since the raid, 46 of the 75 dogs removed from Barrett’s home have had to be euthanized due to various illnesses, Krause testified.

Defense: Conditions were unintended

Because the foul conditions in Barrett’s family home, in which her husband and children also resided, were for the most part uncontested. Barrett’s defense attorney, Trey Mayfield, presented evidence and arguments aimed at proving that Barrett did not willfully place her dogs in inhumane conditions. Barrett took the stand in her own defense on Thursday, Nov. 16, and testified for a full day. Barrett said that she was born in Moscow, Russia, where she said she earned two master’s degrees before getting married and moving with her husband to Texas and later to Broad Run, Virginia, in 2009. “I’ve always loved dogs, especially Dobermans,” Barrett testified. Barrett said she was a dog walker as a child and convinced her parents to get her a Doberman puppy in 1995 when she was a teenager. She said she traveled Europe showing her dogs. After moving to the U.S., she bred her first litter of Doberman puppies in 2006. “Back then, we didn’t know anything about breeding,” she testified. “It was fun raising puppies.” Two years later in 2008, she began importing dogs from Russia and Ukraine to sell in the U.S. After buying a large home in Broad Run in 2009 on five acres with a barn, she began breeding there in 2011, she said. “It was lovely,” Barrett said. “But at some point, I realized that it wasn’t professional enough.” That’s when she said she bought land in West Virginia and built a kennel there to house her breeding operation. She said she transferred all the adult dogs to the new facility in 2013 and kept just their six family pets at their home in Warrenton. Over time, however, Barrett testified that she transferred more and more dogs back to her home in Warrenton. She said she would take any “special needs dogs” who needed extra care, as well as pregnant mothers who were soon to give birth. She would raise the puppies until they were ready to be

to discuss “alternatives” for Devlin Technology Park but did not offer specifics. As the vote nears, Dobbins reflected back on the support her neighbors showed her when her husband was ill with lung cancer and after he passed away in 2011 and said it’s a big reason why she feels so strongly about protecting their community. “When my husband was sick, neighbors just poured their love out to me,” Dobbins said. “This is my children’s home. This is where I helped raise them. ... Some know that this is grandma’s house. This is more than just four walls and a roof. This is a place of memories. So, the idea that our neighborhood is going to be disrupted is just unfathomable.” Jill Palermo contributed to this report. Reach Shannon Clark at sclark@fauquier.com.

sold at around 10 weeks old, she said. Barrett said she was also still importing dogs, so those dogs would stay in her home to be quarantined before joining the rest in West Virginia, she said. In the months leading up to the seizure, a series of illnesses befell the breeding facility in her home, starting during fall 2019 that included a massive hookworm outbreak and canine coronavirus brought via a shipment of four French bulldogs that arrived together, she said on the witness stand. Barrett testified at length that she sought advice from several vets and tried to get the intestinal illnesses under control by giving the dogs deworming medications, feeding the dogs probiotics and administering her own mix of herbal supplements in yogurt. But still, all the dogs got very sick. Most suffered from bloody diarrhea and some from vomiting and lack of appetite, she said. “This was a breeder’s worst nightmare,” Mayfield said during the defense’s closing arguments. “These dogs were crapping their insides out, so yeah, a lot of these dogs were thin because of the corona and hookworm.” “There is no market for sick dogs. There is no market for emaciated dogs,” Mayfield said. “She kept track of the dogs’ poop. Who does that? Somebody who really cares—a lot.” Regarding the three dogs that passed away from various illnesses, forming the basis for the three felony charges, Mayfield argued the prosecution hadn’t proved intent. “There wasn’t a shred of evidence that Barrett willfully inflicted anything on Yeva,” Mayfield said. “She took the dog to the vet.”

Prosecution: Abuse was ‘systemic’

Michelle Welch, a senior assistant attorney general who was assigned as a special prosecutor for the Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office, stressed the filthy conditions inside the home, highlighting the presence of feces-encrusted crates and diarrhea-covered floors, which she said created unhealthy conditions that both sickened the dogs and kept them from recovering. She also argued that Barrett’s failure to provide a clean and sanitary environment as well as access to fresh water, food and proper veterinary care resulted in repeated, uncontrol-

lable intestinal illnesses—and that Barrett knew what she was doing. “What you don’t do for animals is willful when it becomes systemic,” Welch said during the prosecution’s closing argument. To drive home her theory of the case, Welch reminded the jury of one of the most jaw-dropping pieces of evidence in the trial—that Barrett’s son had discovered dog vomit on his bed that contained half-digested, partially cremated puppy remains. Barrett testified at trial that her husband made large bonfires to cremate puppy remains, which she says is an appropriate way to dispose of dogs that die as part of the breeding operation. The vomiting dog apparently had gotten into the remains. The jury deliberated for less than four hours before reaching its verdict. Barrett showed no emotion when the verdict was read. She will be back in court on March 7, 2024, for sentencing before Judge James E. Plowman, Jr., who presided over the case. Barrett faces from one day to 12 months in jail for each of the 60 misdemeanor convictions. The time could be served concurrently, depending on the judge’s discretion. In an interview after the trial, Settle said she is glad justice was done after a long three years and 11 months. “Sixty counts of animal cruelty are a lot. I can understand the jury having sympathy, and I think that’s why they didn’t (convict her of) the felonies, even though I think the felonies were warranted,” Settle said. Krause said that while she was happy with the outcome of the misdemeanors she was “disappointed in the verdicts on the felony counts.” “We have been dealing with the suffering for the last four years,” Krause said. Settle said that the surviving dogs are all in foster homes but remain in legal limbo. Their fate will be decided in a separate legal proceeding. A seizure hearing is set for March 7, 2024, the same date as Barrett’s criminal sentencing. “We still take care of all their medical expenses,” Settle said, noting that costs are already at least $1.5 million. “They still come to our clinic for anything they need. We’re still paying for them.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

Your stories inspire us, and your support makes it possible I had been in my new role as publisher of the Prince William Times for just a few weeks when I opened a file in our system and read the most amazing story. A nursing assistant named Erica Sutherland was riding with her family on Interstate 66 when she saw a flash of lightning strike a motorcyclist and throw him off his bike. Her nursing instincts immediately kicked in and she yelled “Stop the car!” Her family told her when she jumped out, the vehicle was still going more than 20 miles an hour. She then ran down an interstate highway in the pouring rain and got to Nick Fowler, who was lying on the side of the road. His heart wasn’t beating. She turned him over and saw that he was a young man, just 20 years old. Dying, she said, was not an option. After four minutes of CPR, she revived him. He looked at her and said, “Am I alive?” “You’re alive,” Sutherland said. Then he asked, “Can you call my mom?” The next day I was buying the pa-

per and a cup of tea and chatting with the barista about the story when the lady behind me, who was buying a box of pastries. asked, “What happened?” I gave her a quick summary of the story, and she grabbed her own copy. She said she worked in health care and was headed to her monthly team meeting. She said she loved to start the meeting with an inspirational story, and this would be perfect. I share this story for a couple of reasons. First is to tell you something you already know — we have great stories to tell in Prince William County. We are a source of critical information, and most of the time we are simply doing the important work of helping inform the deci-

sions that readers like you make to navigate your lives. But sometimes we can provide a lightning bolt of inspiration for our readers. As the new publisher of this storied newspaper, I came to Prince William County for two big reasons — the community support for local journalism and the quality of the Times’ work. What happened here is extraordinary. A group of local people came together to create a plan to sustain quality journalism in this community. They facilitated the creation of a nonprofit organization — the Piedmont Journalism Foundation — and the purchase of the newspaper, then invested in modernizing it and building a path to keep it viable. This was incredibly forward thinking. A Northwestern University study just showed that since 2019 an average of two local newspapers per week closed, continuing a yearslong long trend. A third of all newspapers in the U.S. will have closed by 2025. Communities like ours are losing their local informa-

tion sources. Some of these news organizations have been serving their communities for more than 200 years like our sister paper, the Fauquier Times. But there’s another side to the story. The best days for local news may be ahead of us, not behind us. That’s because a lot of very smart people have been working very hard to invent new, nonprofit models of local news. And some of the new approaches they are pioneering are leading to news reporting that is more connected to local communities and more reflective of them and their needs and interests. We can learn from them and learn new ways to succeed in local news. Today, our news organization is sustained by a combination of community support from online and print subscriptions, advertising by local businesses and governments and generous gifts from donors. That support has kept the quality of the journalism produced by our small team unusually strong for a news organization of its size. See PUBLISHER, page 9

Weekend happenings: Turkey trots, holiday markets By Sondra Anzalone Special to the Times

It’s turkey time! Before the bird is carved and the glasses go “clink,” get yourself trottin’ down the road for a pre-meal walk or run. A few local turkey trots are happening Thanksgiving morning to get even the littlest turkey in your flock wobbling before the gobbling goes down. Once you’re done with the dishes, it’s time to put up that tree. Buy one at the Warrenton Boy Scouts Christmas Tree Sale (Nov. 24 to Dec. 24) and support the troop. Next on the holiday to-do list: shopping. And we don’t mean Black Friday deals. Come to the Old Town Manassas Christmas Market and Holiday Craft Show on Saturday and/or the Archwood Green Barns Holiday Market in The Plains on Sunday and score gifts for everyone on your nice list. Finally, take a much-deserved break and join the Marshall Evening Book Club. Speaking of survival, if you’re a caregiver, join the Caregiver Circle Support Group in Woodbridge for some stress management assistance— especially this time of year. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Cheers! Warrenton Boy Scouts Christmas Tree Sales: Costello’s Ace Hardware, 251 W. Lee

All-out pursuit by men in black

Brentsville defense dominates Kettle Run 28-7 in Class 3 Region B semis By Matthew Proctor

Brentsville goes for third region title in row

Times Staff Writer

Kettle Run quarterback Jake Mulhern found himself in the eye of a dark storm. Everywhere he looked, every play the Cougars tried to run was met by men in black, the Brentsville Tigers, who used a night of overwhelming defense and big plays on offense to score a decisive 28-7 home victory over the Cougars in Friday’s Class 3 Region B semifinals. The Tigers (11-1) moved onto Friday’s region title game against Armstrong (9-3) by duplicating their 31-13 win over Kettle Run on Nov. 3. In that one, Brentsville trailed 13-0 then scored the game’s final 31 points. On Friday, it was 7-7 before the Tigers scored the last 21. “Brentsville was the better team tonight. We couldn’t make enough plays down the stretch and they were able to get a lead and then keep the lead,” said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield. Brentsville was dominant, building a 21-7 second quarter lead, then shutting out Kettle Run the second half while playing without star quarterback Caleb Alexander, whose knee injury before halftime kept him out the rest of the game. Receiver Trent Hayes moved to QB and threw a touchdown pass for the only second half points. “Caleb going to the ground right before half hit our guys a little bit, but to come out second half when the leader goes down, you got to be resilient,” said Brentsville coach Loren White. “Trent doesn’t get a lot of reps, but he’s always ready to go. He’s pretty much a janitor. He cleans up anything.” Prior to exiting, Alexander was 5-of-9 for 111 yards and a TD while rushing for 50 yards and two TDs on five carries. As backup QB, Hayes was 2-of-6 for 66 yards and a TD. White was optimistic about Alexander returning for this Friday’s region final. Kettle Run’s highlight was an impressive second drive to tie it at 7-7, but once they fell behind life became difficult against an aggressive Tigers’ defense that constantly blew up the Cougars’ plays and pressured Mulhern. Mulhern was sacked four times. Often, he was running for his life backwards, once scrambling some 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage and getting sacked. The Cougars’ ground game led by Haydynn Bell was also shackled. “Props to their pressure, they were giving pressure all night,” Mulhern said. “Their defense is good, their safeties are good, their corners are good. All around they’re good, the linebackers especially.” See BRENTSVILLE, page 16

Caleb Alexander and the Tigers downed Kettle Run 28-7 to advance to Friday’s Class 3 Region B championship against Armstrong (Richmond) (9-3) at home at 7 p.m. Brentsville is bidding for its third straight trip to the state semifinals.

The No. 2-seeded Brentsville Tigers (11-1) will be favored to win their third straight Region B title when they host No. 4 seed Armstrong (9-3) Friday. The Tigers beat Warren County 35-7 in last year’s region title game. In 2021, the Tigers edged Merdian 13-7. Brentsville lost in the Class 3 semifinals the last two years to Phoebus, 58-14 in 2022 and 43-0 in 2021. Two-time defending state champion Phoebus has been reclassified to Class 4, leaving Liberty Christian Academy (11-0) as Class 3’s top team at No. 5 in the MaxPreps overall state rankings. Should the Tigers beat Armstrong and make the state semifinals, they’d face Region A champion Heritage (7-5) or Lafayette (10-2). Liberty Christian Academy hosts Turner Ashby (11-1) in the Region C title game with the winner meeting Class D champion No. 1 Magna Vista (13-0) or No. 2 William Byrd (11-1) in the other state semi. The state championship is Dec. 9 at Liberty University at 5 p.m. — MATTHEW PROCTOR

Friday’s Class 3 Region B championship: No. 4 Armstrong (9-3) at No. 2 Brentsville (11-1), 7 p.m. Saturday’s Class 6 Region B championship: No. 3 Battlefield (12-0) at No. 1 Freedom-Woodbridge (11-0), 3 p.m.

Easements 101: What they are, how they affect your property By Mason L. Dalman

Properties can contain easements that preserve land for protection and access for everything from utility lines to beautiful mountain views.

RGS Title

When thinking about your home, it may have the following items: a gas line, an electric pole, a cable box or even a shared driveway. What do these items have in common? They are all examples of an easement that can affect your property. An easement is the right to use someone else’s land for a specified purpose. For example, the gas line running from the street to your home is a gas easement where the gas company has the right to monitor, maintain and install the gas line on your property. We are pledged to the letter and spirit of Virginia’s policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the Commonwealth. We encourage and support advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, age, familial status, or national origin. All real estate advertised herein is subject to the Virginia and federal fair housing laws, which make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or elderliness, or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.” This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis. For more information or to file a housing complaint, call the Virginia Fair Housing office at 804-367-8530 or toll-free at 888-551-3247. For the hearing impaired, call 804-367-9753.

A utility easement like this will be limited to the purpose of a gas line and may state specific boundaries or even define a designated area the gas company may use for its purpose. Utility easements are the most common and are often the most beneficial to the homeowner because, without them, the utility companies would not be able to properly serve the home. Uncommon easements are often the most intriguing. Think about a home with a beautiful mountain view. If the homeowner decides to sell the acreage below their home, it would be a smart idea to have the new buyer sign a sight easement, which can limit the buyer’s ability to build taller than a certain height or even plant certain trees so that the incredible view of the mountain home is protected. Towns and cities may also use sight easements to stop homeowners from planting trees on the edge of their properties that block the abil-

ity of a car to see around an intersection. Tree preservation or conservation easements are also examples of restrictions that can be placed on properties to limit the removal of vegetation and prohibit the industrialization of the property. It’s important to note that most easements will automatically pass with the property’s transfer, unless otherwise noted, so that the benefitted party will not simply lose their right to use and access the property because the landowner has changed. All encumbrances, such as easements, are public record and have been recorded in the land records at the courthouse so that anyone may see what is attached to a specific property. This recording requirement allows future buyers to inspect the property’s encumbrances before purchasing. Often, this means a survey is done on the property to identify the recorded easements and mark where they begin and end. This can

be a vital part of the homebuying process as some of the new homebuyer’s plans may not be possible depending on the property’s restrictions. For example, if a purchaser is planning on putting a pool in the backyard, it would be important to know before buying whether a tree preservation easement is located in the very spot that the purchaser intends to dig. The same can also go for fencing, as it would be a shame to build a fence right on top of a utility line that may need work one day. When it comes to easements that require maintenance, as most utility easements do, it is always best to identify where they are before building or digging to ensure that any future plans will not be impacted if maintenance or repair is required. Being aware of the interests that are held against your property is an important part of your property ownership. When purchasing your next property, be sure to ask for a copy of your property’s easements and a survey so that you know exactly where to put that pool! Mason L.

‘Brentsville was the better team tonight’ BRENTSVILLE, from page 15 With Alexander at full strength the Tigers roared to a quick lead. On the third play, Alexander faked a handoff to running back Nico Orlando, made a defender miss in the hole, bounced to the left, weaved past a defensive back and jogged into the end zone from 38 yards out to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead after the exta point kick. After the Cougars put together an impressive long drive to even it up, Alexander hit Hayes for 36 yards on third-and-11. That set up Alexander’s 3-yard rushing TD to put the Tigers ahead 14-7 with 1:59 left in the first quarter. After a Kettle Run three-and-out, Alexander hit tight end Wyatt Vonderhaar on a delayed release in the back of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown and a 21-7 lead. With Alexander going down with less than 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter, the Tigers turned to Hayes, who has been Alexander’s backup for the last three years. Hayes used the 15-minute halftime period to warm up and mentally prepare. “Any of my boys go down and I

Rushing star Nico Orlando and the Tigers are planning another impressive effort against visiting Armstrong in Friday’s region championship game. need to fill in, I’m going to fill in. I’m going to give 100 percent of my potential,” Hayes said. “Just working on our meshes with the running backs, making sure I knew all the

reads, all my keys, everything like that.” Neither team scored in the third to keep the Cougars’ chances alive, but a 65-yard strike from Hayes to

Tyler Owens down the left side made it 28-7 with 8:52 left in the fourth. “Every (second half) drive we were saying if we score right here, dagger. Game over,” Hayes said.

The event will be streamed live virtually through the link posted on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors webpage at: https://www.pwcva.gov/department/ board-county-supervisors. In the event of inclement weather, this Design Public Hearing will be rescheduled for a later date. Public notifications and readvertisement will be issued accordingly. The purpose of this public hearing is to ensure that the public is provided with an opportunity to both review and discuss the proposed improvements and potential impacts to the surrounding properties. This hearing will also provide an opportunity for public feedback on the current design of this intersection improvement project. Project plans, information regarding property impacts and right-of-way assistance information will be available at this public hearing and 30 days prior to the hearing. A tentative project schedule will also be discussed at the meeting. The project consists of improvements at the intersection of Prince William Parkway and Old Bridge Road. The improvements include realigning and straightening Prince William Parkway, improving left- and right-turn movements and realigning Old Bridge Road to intersect with Prince William Parkway as a side street. Prince William Parkway's realignment will be the primary thru movement with features including 12-foot lanes, a variable width raised median, a 5-foot sidewalk along the eastbound lanes, and a 10-foot shared use path (SUP) along the westbound lanes. Old Bridge Road's realignment will be the secondary movement with features including 12-foot lanes, a 4-foot raised median, and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. The project includes access management, turn lanes, intersection improvements, and a signal modification at the main T-intersection. A service road will be provided along the eastbound lanes of Prince William Parkway to provide residents with improved access to Prince William Parkway. This project will mitigate traffic diverting from the Prince William Parkway (principal arterial) to Old Bridge Road (minor arterial) to improve throughout and overall level of service.
