Supervisors move toward collective bargaining for county workers

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County public employees could soon be allowed to collectively bargain for wages, benefits and working conditions after county supervisors approved a resolution Tuesday directing staff to begin drafting a collective bargaining ordinance.

The county board voted 5-21 to approve the resolution. The board’s five Democratic members voted in favor; Supervisors Yesli Vega, R-Coles, and Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, voted against it; and Supervisor Pete Candland,

R-Gainesville, was absent.

Prince William County supervisors had until Jan. 5 to decide whether they would proceed with a collective bargaining ordinance after the county’s police and fire unions submitted paperwork in September triggering a four-month deadline for the board to take an up-or-down vote.

The board and county staff will now begin drafting the ordinance with work sessions tentatively planned for January and February. It is not yet known when it will return to the board for a final vote. If an ordinance is adopted by the board, it could potentially impact thousands

of Prince William County workers, including police officers, firefighters, administrative and maintenance workers.

“This is just the beginning of the process of work sessions and trying to determine what we want to do. I think we’re really lucky that four counties around us have gone through this process and we can take from the best of that,” said atlarge board Chair Ann Wheeler (D).

Fairfax County, Arlington County, Loudoun County and the City of Alexandria have already enacted collective bargaining ordinances.

Adopting the ordinance would

cost an estimated $1.7 million per year in administrative costs, largely to pay for attorneys, payroll and more human resources employees, according to Deputy County Executive Michelle Casciato.

A new Virginia law that took effect May 1 allows local governments to enter collective bargaining agreements with workers for the first time since the commonwealth banned the practice in 1977. The bill was carried

by Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, who represents eastern Prince William and Fauquier counties.

Proposed redistricting maps could mean big changes in Prince William

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Proposals for new state Senate and House of Delegates districts released by the Virginia Supreme Court last week would drastically reshape the legislative boundaries in Prince William County. But so far, the maps have been garnering mostly positive reviews from Republicans and Democrats, alike.

The new maps create three Prince William-centric state Senate districts, squeeze two incumbent delegates into a single state House district and would create two state House seats in the eastern and western ends of the county with no incumbent.

Overall, the proposed maps reduce the number of U.S. House districts that cover parts of Prince William from three to one, while reducing the county’s state Senate districts from five to three and House of Delegates’ districts from eight to seven.

“There’s no question these districts are more compact and represent actual communities, as opposed to groups of voters that favor a certain party,” said Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th.

County returns to ‘high’ community transmission as COVID-19 cases rise again across Va. Staff Reports Community transmission of COVID-19 is on the rise again in Prince William County, Northern Virginia and across the state, prompting public health directors to urge residents to get vaccinated, get booster shots when eligible and to continue taking precautions against catching and spreading the deadly virus.

Prince William Health District’s community transmission rate rose sharply this week to 160.5 per 100,000 residents from 81 per 100,000 residents the previous week.

After falling since mid-September – when the Delta variant surge peaked – cases have again been on the rise across Virginia since Thanksgiving. In the last two weeks, the average number of new cases reported each day in the Prince William Health District rose from about 56 to 119 new cases a day – an increase of 113%.

Across the state, the average number of new daily cases rose from 1,468 to 2,496 – an increase of about 70%.

Nearly all of Virginia’s counties are back to a “high” rate of community transmission, including all jurisdictions in Northern Virginia.

Just one week ago, most Northern Virginia health districts, including Prince William, had community transmission rates below 100 cases per 100,000 residents, or within the “substantial” range.

“Cases rates are up considerably from last week,” said the most recent weekly report from the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute, which has been analyzing and predicting the course of the pandemic in Virginia since early 2020.

The Prince William Health District is now experiencing a slow growth in new cases, according to the Virginia Department of Health.

The “sudden increase in cases” might be the result of testing and reporting delays over the Thanksgiving holidays and might also explain a dip in reported cases last week, the report said.

The UVA Biocomplexity Institute’s models continue to forecast a gradual growth in case rates through the new year, “though the possibility of a winter surge remains,” the report said.

Northern Va. health directors raise concerns about another winter surge

Public health officials have been warning about the possibility of another winter surge of the virus for months. The state’s first case of the Omnicron variant – identified last week -- has heightened those concerns, as the new variant is proving to be even more transmissible than the Delta variant.

The new variant has so far not been shown to cause a more severe disease than earlier variants, but scientists are still studying its impact.

In a recent press release, the Northern Virginia health district directors warned that most of the region’s more than 2,600 COVID-19 deaths and more than 9,000 hospitalizations occurred during last year’s winter surge.

“Fortunately, this winter we have wide access to vaccinations, which have been shown to lead to a dramatic reduction in hospitalizations and death. Additionally, indoor mask use in work and school settings has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of transmission; this is seen most strikingly in the higher number and size of COVID-19 outbreaks in school settings where masks are less used, such as in athletics or in schools that have higher rates of mask exemptions,” the release said.

Northern Virginia health directors are “closely monitoring the rapid increase in cases in Northern Virginia and the disease trends locally, as well as the potential impact of the Omicron variant,” the release said.

Their latest recommendations are based on those trends in addition to vaccination coverage, the presence of COVID-19 variants and other factors, the release said.

With more people spending time indoors with others as cold weather sets in, Northern Virginia residents are again urged to do maintain “layered prevention” strategies, which include: • Getting all members of your family age 5 and older fully vaccinat-

olds offered Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays by appointment only. Visit vase.vdh.virginia.gov to make an appointment. COVID-19 vaccines, booster shots (16 and up) and flu shots available for ages 12 and up When: • Mondays: Noon to 4 p.m.

• Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Closed from 2:30 to 3 p.m., walkins for ages 12 and up available between 1 and 2:30 p.m.

• Friday: Noon to 4 p.m. Walk-ins accepted for 12 years and older.

No vaccinations for 5-to 11-yearolds on Fridays.

• Saturday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (clinic closed 12:30 to 1 p.m.); walk-ins accepted for 12 years and older from 1 to 2:30 p.m. ed, including booster shots if eligible.

• Wearing a mask indoors when around those not in your household.

• Staying home when sick.

• Stay 6 feet from others as much as possible.

• Avoiding crowded and indoor areas where distancing is not possible, or where you will be in close contact with those whose vaccination status is unknown.

• Getting tested if you think you may have COVID-19 or may have been exposed and following guidelines for isolation and quarantine.

• Washing hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizer if soap and water is not available. This will help prevent many diseases, including the seasonal flu.

Those who are not fully vaccinated should stay away from others and get tested three to five days after returning home from travel.

103-acre data center campus OK’d in Gainesville

Plan could trigger need for new transmission line, Dominion rep says

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County supervisors approved a 103-acre data center campus in Gainesville last week that Dominion Energy officials anticipate will likely require a new electrical transmission line in the area.

The data center development, known as the Interstate 66 and U.S. 29 Technology Park, is the second data center proposal approved this year by the board at the intersection of John Marshall Highway and Catharpin Road. The board approved Village Place Technology Park, a 45-acre property, in June. A 22-acre data center complex is also planned but has not yet reached the board.

All three are located outside the county’s Data Center Opportunity Overlay District, a nearly 10,000acre area created in 2016 where county officials determined there is existing electrical infrastructure to support data centers.

County supervisors voted 6-2 to approve a rezoning and special use permit for the I-66 and Route 29 Technology Park. The board’s five Democrats and Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, voted in favor. Supervisors Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, and Yesli Vega, R-Coles, voted against.

The new data centers planned for the intersection of John Marshall Highway and Catharpin Road have been contentious. Some county supervisors and civic groups are worried that new electrical transmission lines will be needed to support the new facilities.

Between 2014 and 2018, Gainesville residents fought Dominion Energy over the creation of a new transmission line to serve an Amazon Web Services data center on the opposite side of Haymarket, near Walmart. Ultimately, an agreement was reached that required the energy company to put several miles of transmission lines underground in the Haymarket area.

“It’s unfair to put the community through this again,” Elena Schlossberg-Kunkel, executive director of The Coalition to Protect PWC, said during a public hearing that preceded the board’s vote.

Dominion Energy provided its input ahead of Tuesday’s public hearing, but “expressed a preference not to address the impacts of new load growth on the area’s electric grid with new electric transmission infrastructure.” An attorney for the project’s applicant, Southview 66 LLC, said Dominion Energy would not provide any energy estimates until the plan is further developed.

In an interview with Prince William Times earlier this year, however, Dominion Energy Manager of Electric Transmission Greg Mathe appeared to confirm that new transmission lines will be needed. Mathe said the data center cluster at John Marshall Highway and Catharpin,

‘Finally, a map that makes sense’

CURRENT STATE HOUSE DISTRICTS

PROPOSED STATE HOUSE DISTRICTS

REDISTRICTING, from page 1

Major changes

The new maps were drawn by two “special masters” – one each selected by Democrats and Republicans – and overseen by the state Supreme Court after a bipartisan redistricting commission failed to come to an agreement on new state legislative and congressional districts. The maps are not yet final.

Among the most significant proposed changes are three new state Senate districts that are either entirely or almost entirely within Prince William County. The districts would be split between western Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park; Dumfries, southeastern Prince William County and north Stafford County; and Woodbridge, Dale City and parts of southern Fairfax County.

That’s a big change from the county’s existing districts, which split Prince William five ways and reach as far north as the West Virginia border and as far south as Westmoreland County. Only one of the county’s five current state senators lives in the county: Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th.

“Even though it’s the second largest jurisdiction in the state, there’s only one state senator who lives in the county. I think there’s likely to be more when the dust is cleared,” Surovell said in an interview on Friday, Dec. 10.

Surovell, who lives in Fairfax County, would be drawn out of Prince William County in the proposed map and placed in a new Fairfax County-only district. Surovell said he “would hate not to be around” to represent his Prince William constituents any longer. But he added that, under the new map, Prince William is “likely to have more senators, perhaps a congressman and maybe a couple more delegates who live in the county.”

Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, said the proposed state Senate districts are “clearly a good thing” for Prince William County. Roem added that it would be good to have western Prince William County state Senate district “that’s not shaped like the boot of Italy.”

Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, said the new districts “bring together a much more cohesive set of communities rather than being split apart [and] … present the opportunity for two, if not three, state senators being in or very close to Prince William as opposed to just one.”

Va. House districts a ‘huge improvement’

The court’s proposed maps create a total of seven Virginia House of Delegates districts that include parts of Prince William County. Five are entirely within county, while a sixth is split between Woodbridge and southern Fairfax and the seventh between southeastern Prince William and north Stafford County.

“Keeping western [Prince William] together in two house districts is a huge improvement over the old House districts that gerrymandered it between five different districts,” said Willie Deutsch, vice chairman of the Prince William Republican Committee.

Under the new map, Del. Luke Torian, D-52, and Del.-elect Briana Sewell, D-51, are drawn

Redistricting impacts U.S. House districts

The proposed maps reduce the number of U.S. House districts including parts of Prince William County from three to one.

Current: 1st, 10th and 11th Districts Proposed: 7th District

Effect on incumbents

The proposal effectively removes parts of Prince William County from districts currently held by:

into the same state House district. Meanwhile, one of the proposed House districts on the eastern side of the county – the 19th District -- would have no incumbent, as would a House district in the western side of the county: the 21st District.

U.S. House districts

Virginia will continue to have 11 seats in the U.S. Congress, based on 2020 census results. The special masters for the state Supreme Court have proposed redrawing the commonwealth’s congressional districts to include a relocated 7th District that would encompass Prince William and Stafford counties.

The existing 7th District is represented by Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D), who would be drawn out of the district. Already, at least four of Prince William County’s current and former elected officials have said they are considering running for Congress from the shifted 7th District.

Some residents are leaving their comments on the proposed districts on the commonwealth’s redistricting website, which is open for public in-

put until Monday, Dec. 20. As of Monday, Dec. 13, the website had already received hundreds of comments from all over Virginia.

“Finally, a map that makes sense. I hope it’s approved,” said Arilene Alvarez, a Manassas resident.

“I think this map makes a lot more sense,” said Omar Kamara, a western Prince William County resident. “Thank you for correcting that old gerrymandering nonsense.”

“I love the new map by the VA Supreme Court.

I love the way they use the entire county to represent the population of the county. This is a 100% fair map and exactly why we chose this model,” said Luqman Sh-Hersi, a Dumfries resident.

The court is holding two virtual public input sessions on Wednesday, Dec. 15, and Friday, Dec. 17, to collect additional feedback on the proposed maps, an indication the special masters may make changes to the legislative boundaries before they are officially adopted by the court. The final timeline is not yet known.

Supervisors move toward collective bargaining for county workers BARGAINING, from page 1 In a statement following the board’s approval, Guzman commended the board “for taking this critical step toward granting their employees the freedom to collectively bargain.”

“Our local government workers have for nearly two years labored on the frontlines of this pandemic to keep our county running and to ensure our community members are cared for,” Guzman said. “We are still battling this pandemic, and for too long our frontline workers have been asked to sacrifice without meaningful recognition. It is not enough to clap for these heroes; they deserve the freedom to form a union and bargain collectively for a fair contract.”

David Broder, president of Service Employees International Union Virginia 512, a union that represents Fairfax County and Loudoun County employees, said in a statement that Prince William County “has an opportunity to join Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington and Alexandria and become a real champion for working families in the commonwealth.”

Democratic supervisors have been generally supportive of enacting collective bargaining for county employees since they began discussing the issue in May. Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, said Tuesday that allowing workers to collectively bargain could improve staff retention and allow more of the county’s workforce to live and work in Prince William County, where housing costs are among the highest in the state.

“We have folks that live in this community [who] want to serve the community, but they simply do not make enough to do that, so they work in Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, sometimes DC and Maryland, because they’re able to put food on their table by going somewhere else,” Boddye said.

Supervisor Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, expressed concerns over how much collective bargaining will cost and raised concerns about the impact of collective bargaining on the county’s volunteer fire departments. But ultimately, he said he would support creating a collective bargaining ordinance to help county employees on the low end of the pay scale.

“I have this beautiful lady in my office who cleans our office every day. She reminds me so much of my mother. And she is the hardest working lady I know. And the better opportunities that this provides, provides opportunity for people like her,” Angry said.

Lawson and Vega, who voted against the move, said they disagreed with the annual cost estimates for collective bargaining provided by county staff and questioned the need for collective bargaining for county employees.

“What is the reason for collective bargaining?

What are you seeking to get that you don’t already get?” Vega said, noting that county taxpayers would be “subsidiz[ing] the already great benefits of 5,000 employees.”

Lawson said she was “disappointed” that collective bargaining is moving forward, and that cost estimates “will absolutely rise and they will rise exponentially if this continues to go further down the road.”

Wheeler pushed back on the characterization of collective bargaining as being overly expensive, noting that dozens of states have long allowed collective bargaining for public sector workers.

“To say that to institute collective bargaining, the whole sky is going to fall and everything’s going to go to hell in a hand basket, I think is just a scare tactic,” Wheeler said. “This, for Prince William County, is a step in the right direction.”

Dumfries upgrades public Wi-Fi

By Aileen M. Streng Contributing Writer

Dumfries is working to expand and upgrade broadband internet access in its public spaces in an effort to improve access to town residents who lack internet connections in their own homes.

The work is expected to be completed in March and the coverage areas will include Ginn Park, the former Dumfries-Triangle Rescue Squad building, which the town owns, Dumfries Town Hall, Dumfries’ community center, Garrison Park, Merchant Park and the WeemsBotts Museum.

“We wanted to expand our public Wi-Fi to ensure our residents had access to high-speed internet connection within the town,” said Dumfries Town Manager Keith Rogers, Jr. The town already has public broadband “but the only reliable place to use it is in town hall,” Rogers said. “What this project does in those other locations is to include some infrastructure at those sites to make it more widely available.”

The cost of the project is about $250,000 and will be paid for out of the $3 million the town received from the American Rescue Plan Act. “Access to internet is no longer a privilege; it is a necessity that too many people have had to do without, and the pandemic highlighted this,” said Dumfries Town Council member Selonia Miles, who spearheaded the initiative. “Overnight, children needed to attend school virtually; adults needed to work from home, and even things like routine doctor’s appointments converted to virtual.”

Dear Readers,

December 14, 2021

This year — the second of Piedmont Journalism Foundation’s ownership of Piedmont Media, producer of the Fauquier Times and the Prince William Times — has been a memorable one for the quality of the newspaper’s reporting.

At the Prince William Times, editor Jill Palermo, reporter Daniel Berti and sports editor Peter Brewington have tirelessly led the way in coverage of COVID-19, local government, schools, sports, land use and other matters of importance to local residents. Reporters engaged by PJF have contributed additional explanatory articles.

This work has been made possible by tax-deductible donations to PJF, which has provided financial support to our newspapers and their journalism last year. Our newspapers would not exist, much less be able to produce quality journalism, without loyal readers, advertisers and donors to PJF. The closing of community newspapers has become an epidemic in our country. Piedmont Media tries to operate on a break-even basis. But advertising revenue, which provides most of our revenue as it does at all small newspapers, continues to decline nationwide, as it has here.

Community support through the nonprofit PJF is crucial to the newspapers’ future.

NewsMatch, a national group of journalism founders, will match donations to PJF up to $1,000 through December.

As you contemplate the many requests for your help at year’s end, please consider PJF and the journalism it funds as a way to promote community spirit and purpose in these polarizing times.

Gratefully, The Board of Directors, Piedmont Journalism Foundation Piedmont Journalism Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (IRS # 83-007859620), and your gift is fully deductible to the extent of the law. Please send donations by check, payable to PJF, to Box 21, The Plains, VA 20198. Or give by credit card through www. piedmontjournalism.org/support-us. For donations of stock, please contact Hilary Beeler at 540-253-5855.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | December 16, 2021

GUEST OPINION

Our schools are in crisis.

Collective bargaining is part of the solution.

Our schools in Prince William County are facing a serious employment crisis. We are in the midst of a teacher shortage, a substitute shortage and a bus driver shortage. These shortages end up placing more stress and workload on our current employees, which exacerbates the shortages as more educators and staff quit or retire.

The consequences of shortages include educators being told to cover other classes during their planning times due to a lack of substitute teachers, expanded class sizes with additional students due to not having enough teachers, and teachers having to work consistently beyond their contracted hours and often without additional pay to cover school duties.

The starting salary for an educator with a master’s degree in Prince William County schools is $57,000. That educator is also responsible for purchasing most of the resources and supplies they will need to use during the school year.

When you visit your child’s classroom, most of what you see is purchased by the teacher. When you schedule a phone call with your child’s teacher, the time they schedule is more than likely taking place during their lunchtime, planning period or personal time.

As planning time is limited during the school day, your child’s teacher is working unpaid on the weekends and evenings on grading, communication and lesson plans.

This creates a stressful work/ life balance for all educators.

Burnout and resignations are consistent problems in our county and throughout the country.

There is a way to help alleviate this strain on our teachers: collective bargaining. The right to negotiate will enhance learning environments for our students and improve working conditions for our educators by giving educators a voice in creating a sustainable atmosphere where both students and employees can thrive together.

Virginia banned public sector collective bargaining 44 years ago.

That ban included our police and fire departments, county employees and school employees. The ban was overturned via a new law passed this year, and now public sector employees are finally able to collectively bargain. But the law stipulates that collective bargaining can only happen if local elected leaders vote to approve negotiation rights. Just this week, our Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted to create a local ordinance to allow our police officers, firefighters and county employees the right to bargain.

MAGGIE HANSFORD

Now, our Prince William County School Board has the responsibility to vote to allow school division employees to do the same.

Collective bargaining gives educators a voice in their workplace.

The process would allow our teachers and school staff to seek more competitive pay and benefits, improve recruitment efforts and create a pathway for a secure retirement, all which will lead to higher retention rates. Having a more stable teaching staff will benefit students and staff, alike. Students will receive more individualized attention and support, which will improve their educational outcomes.

Our community will be stronger when our public sector employees have negotiation rights. As police, fire and educators are able to bargain, our community will enable more of our public sector employees to afford to live in Prince William County and pay taxes back into the county budget. They’ll live in the neighborhoods they serve, build valuable community relationships, put less burden on local traffic, and be less stressed with shorter commutes and more reasonable workloads.

Our public sector employees have served our community through hard economic times, during an ongoing pandemic, and in all types of inclement weather.

Without our public sector employees, our community is unable to protect, serve and educate.

We learned how vital public sector employees are for our families during this pandemic. Schools are a place not only to learn, but for many of our kids are places to eat, seek comfort and be safe. Our students deserve educators who are paid fairly and are able to afford to live close to where they work.

For the sake of our students, our educators and our community, I hope you will join with school employees and support them in obtaining the right to collectively bargain.

Maggie Hansford is president of the Prince William Education Association, previously a speech pathologist for Prince William County schools and resides with her family in Bristow where her three children attend our public schools.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘Already ruined’ Pageland Lane is right for data centers I live in Dominique Estates in the Gainesville District, backing Pageland Lane. I support expanding Prince William County’s Data Center Overlay District to include the proposed “Prince William Digital Gateway.”

There has been discussion this will ruin the rural environment; it has already been ruined. Pageland Lane used to be a peaceful, country road where local farmers could drive their tractors, transport their crops and work their farms. That rural environment is long gone. Pageland Lane is now known as the “Prince William County Autobahn” where: • The 45 mile-per-hour speed limit is totally disregarded with drivers hitting 60 or more on a regular basis; • Vehicles cross double-yellow lines to pass drivers who are obeying the speed limit; • Trucks use Pageland as a cutthrough despite the posted “through trucks prohibited” signs;

• Residents take their lives in their own hands just to check their mailboxes; • The daily traffic flow has increased tremendously over the last few years. One day at 4 p.m., I counted 168 vehicles pass the Pageland/Thornton intersection in 10 minutes. Eight of those vehicles were commercial trucks; • Traffic jams from Sudley Road back up almost two miles frequently; and • Viewsheds are mired by four miles of massive 150-foot backbone power line towers.

The rural beauty of Pageland Lane has already been destroyed. Please support expansion of the Data Center District Overlay District to include the Prince William Digital Gateway!

Let’s turn a “dead zone” into a winwin situation for everyone!

CHARLES WILSON Catharpin

How much are our lives worth to the Prince William supervisors?

The Prince William County supervisors ignore the current data center overlay district and are not waiting for the new data center overlay district study to be complete.

The supervisors are studying not doing a water study for the entire county’s drinking water. Yet the climate crisis gets more and more real, as demonstrated in Kentucky on Friday Dec. 10.

Board Chair Ann Wheeler is proposing sewers in the “rural crescent” without doing a study to see the impact on the existing growth to the sewage capacity at local wastewater treatment plants: the Upper Occoquan Sewer Authority (UOSA) and The Noman M. Cole Jr. Pollution Control Plant.

Supervisors ignore the impacts of air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, light pollution of data centers that are placed in residential communities. In the Gainesville District

they will be less than a mile from Tyler Elementary and Pace West schools.

Supervisors must consider what it means to the wildlife when you cut off the Conway Robinson Memorial State Forest.

Most people can agree that included in one’s quality of life is air you can breathe, water you can drink and having trees that absorb C02, peace and quiet and the ability to see the stars in the night sky.

All of this new data center development is being considered because of MONEY. Prince William County supervisors have now put a a value on our lives. How dare they! What makes this despicable is that I voted for and/or worked for the majority of you to get elected.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY

Supervisor Andrea Bailey, left, and Prince William Board of County Supervisors’ Chair Ann Wheeler, right, present Elsie Garrison, center, a resolution, flowers, and a balloon celebrating her 100th birthday.

‘The first 100 years are the hardest’ Elsie Garrison honored for her 100th birthday By: Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors recently passed a resolution honoring Elsie Garrison, wife of the late Dumfries mayor Kloman Jackson “Jack” Garrison, for her 100th birthday.

With many of her family and friends in attendance, Garrison was recognized as “a great centenarian of the Dumfries and Prince William County” for her lifetime of contributions to the community.

County staff members familiar with her and her families’ contributions to the community reached out to Potomac Supervisor Andrea Bailey for support in celebrating the Garrison’s milestone birthday. Bailey and her staff were very happy to oblige.

Garrison has lived in Prince William County for almost 80 years.

She moved from to Prince William County from Minnesota in 1942 to join her sister and brother-in-law at Quantico.

Later, she and her husband were married in 1945 and moved to the Town of Dumfries where they raised their three children. She has lived in the same home since 1965 where she welcomes visits from her four grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

Garrison was a member of the Dumfries/Triangle Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, from CALENDAR, from page 12 Tuesday, Dec. 21 The Longest Night Worship: 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. An evening of song, prayer, and quiet contemplation.

Teen Crafternoon: 3 to 4 p.m. For grades 6 to12. Design and create your own craft, supplies will be provided. Registration required; call 703-792-8740. Masks required.

which she is now retired.

An active member of the Dumfries United Methodist Church, Garrison is the chair of the kitchen committee and serves on the clothing closet ministry. She also enjoys engaging in monthly senior citizens activities but has remained mostly at home recently due to COVID-19.

In the resolution recognizing her 100th birthday, Bailey said in part: “Mrs. Elsie Garrison, may God continue to keep you and bless you, as we make known your markings of 100 years on this great earth. Wishing you a wonderful day and healthy and joyful year. Best wishes for every future happiness.”

When asked how it feels to turn 100 and if she has any advice for living a long life, she responded: “The first 100 years are the hardest. Just keep moving and you’ll be okay!”

Friend and fellow member of Dumfries United Methodist Church, Kathy Channell, was happy to mark Mrs. Garrison’s long life and contributions to the community at the county celebration. Channell, former head of the county’s Head Start program and current chair of the Smart Beginnings’ executive committee, noted that everyone at their church looks up to Garrison. “We have funny saying at church: ‘When we grow up, we want to be like Mrs. Elsie,’” she said.

Do you want an Industrial Corridor along Pageland Lane and next to Manassas Battlefield Park?

And do you want to pay for it?

Along the west side of the Manassas National Battlefield Park and north into Catharpin, Pageland Lane winds its way through picturesque rolling farmland with horse farms, fields, and open space. But the Prince William County Board of Supervisors is considering a proposal that would drastically change this beautiful area forever.

The proposal is to replan all of Pageland Lane’s 2,133 acres—within the county’s designated rural area—from agricultural to something called “Tech/Flex.” And although they’re calling the proposed area a “Digital Gateway” and talking a lot about data centers, the Tech/Flex land use designation would allow for a lot more.

We could see not only data centers, but also distribution warehouses, advanced manufacturing, light industrial, and more. The traffic that comes with all of those will run through the rural crescent and right next to the historic landscapes of Manassas Battlefield Park. Tech/Flex would also mean the end of this agricultural corridor.

What does this “Digital Gateway” application call for?

• Changing the land use designation of Pageland Lane from Agricultural to Tech/Flex.

• Adjusting the county’s Rural Area Boundary to include this 2,133 acres in the Development Area.

• Widening Pageland Lane from a rural two-lane road to four lanes to accommodate additional traffic.

• Resurrecting and reinserting the previously-rejected Bi-County Parkway (BCP) into the Prince William County Comprehensive Plan, which appears in the maps and justification document submitted by the applicants.

• Extending water and sewer from Gainesville Crossing data center campus and Heritage Hunt to the area.

• Likely, new substations along this corridor. The applicant’s consultant, Data Energy Consulting, says that data centers would probably first develop near substations with existing capacity, but that large land tracts might require new, dedicated substations.

What Will It Cost Us?

• Tax-payer dollars.

These large infrastructure projects cannot be done incrementally by developers, parcel by parcel, as the applicants say they would be. And once this Digital Gateway is in the comprehensive plan, there would be significant pressure and justification for public investment.

• Major tourism and recreational assets.

The serene, beautiful and historic landscapes that attract thousands of tourists and residents to visit and recreate at Manassas Battlefield National Park would be degraded.

• Clean drinking water and groundwater recharge. This area is interlaced by streams and wetlands that feed into the Occoquan Reservoir, which provides water for nearly 2 million people who live and work in Northern Virginia.

• Prince William’s agricultural economy.

This application would remove 2,133 acres from the Rural Area and increase pressure on nearby rural lands to develop.

• Wildlife corridor and habitat loss. Right now, this area is mostly agricultural and forested areas that support many types of plants and animals, including at least 11 endangered or threatened animal species.

Friends and Neighbors in Prince William County:

Changing this agricultural area into an industrial corridor would cost Prince William taxpayers a fortune. It would forever harm many important natural and recreational resources of the county. And it would give rise to more and more development that will steadily erode the rural areas of Prince William County.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!

1. Contact your State and U.S. Representative and urge them to protect the Manassas National Battlefield Park, which is directly threatened by this proposal.

READY, SET, SPLASH A look at some Cardinal District swim teams

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

Forest Park Bruins

-Outlook: Head coach Julie Denard expects the three Bruin swimmers who made states last year to make it back this year.

“I’m very excited about this season,” said Denard, Forest Park’s fifth year coach. “We’ve always been competitive on the boys side, but this year our girls program has grown and we have so much talent.”

Senior Lindsay Juhlin and junior Delaney Bookstein, both breaststrokers and freestylers, are back after making states last year, as is junior butterflier and breaststroker Dawson Truong, who was a boys state qualifier.

Denard said a crop of promising freshmen is poised to keep Forest Park swimming competitive at the state level.

Potomac Panthers

-Outlook: Fourth-year head coach Angie Strycharz added some star power to her staff this season, as state-level swimmer Amy Freeze returns to her alma mater as an assistant coach.

Along with assistant Robbie Kelly, the Potomac staff will look to get the most out of leading male swimmer Owen Howery and top female swimmer Briana Lane, both of whom have state-level potential.

Potomac’s girls team also counts on Kelsey Hulett, Rania Carter, and Ari Carter, while the boys’ side is aided by Dylan Mumford, David Doty, and Will Murphy.

Woodbridge’s Ben Fields qualified for regionals last year.

Woodbridge Vikings -Outlook: In Chris Bodmer’s five years as the Vikings’ head coach, he’s never had as many freshmen as this season.

“I always judge our success on improvement,” Bodmer said. “Are we better swimmers in February than we were in November?”

Emily Makin, the school record-holder for the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke, is back for the Viking girls, as is Valentina Manko.

The boys are led by regional qualifiers Benny Firtag, Ben Fields and Carter Brown, along with freestyler Aiden Grendysz.

Woodbridge coach Chris Bodmer is pleased with the freshman turnout this year.

Gar-Field Red Wolves

Gar-Field’s Noelia Rea swims the 200-yard freestyle.

-Outlook: Co-head coaches Heather Bent and Stephanie Cichoski boast the biggest roster they’ve had in their four seasons leading the Gar-Field program.

“There is swimming talent at Gar-Field,” Bent said. “Success for us, this season, would be having some individual swimmers qualify for regionals.”

Junior freestyler Mikal Helms and freshman Keyen Coates headline the boys team, while junior Noelia Rea leads Gar-Field’s girls.

Sophomore boys Mauricio Penado and Landyn Burgis, who also dives competitively, are being counted on as well.

“We have swimmers with a deeper understanding of technique,” Bent said.

The undefeated Battlefield High ice hockey team hopes to make a run at the Northern Virginia School Hockey League title this winter.

Depth, scoring and strong goalies keep Battlefield ice hockey undefeated

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

Halfway through the season, the Battlefield Bobcats (5-0) haven’t lost an ice hockey game.

The Bobcats lead the five-team Patrick Division of the 22-team Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League (NVSHL). They’ve scored 25 goals while allowing only three.

Twelve different Bobcats have scored a goal, while 15 have at least one point.

“We have talented and skilled players throughout all three lines of forwards and defensemen,” said first-year head coach John Dziekan.

“I have confidence in every player on our roster which gives us the ability to roll lines rather than having to match lines.”

Battlefield, which plays at the nearby Haymarket IcePlex, opened the season with four consecutive shutouts before a 4-3 come-from-behind win Dec. 10 over second-place Kettle Run/Liberty (3-2). The Bobcats scored twice in the final four minutes to reverse a 3-2 deficit.

“The atmosphere was electric,” Dziekan said. “The pageantry of Senior Night with balloons, banners and supportive fans was an awesome backdrop for what proved to be our most exciting game of the season.”

Senior captain Garrett Dziekan scored twice in that win. He adds his name to a statsheet filled by forward Grayson Cantarella (five goals, one assist) and defenseman Blake Morris (three goals, four assists).

ICE HOCKEY FAST FACTS

-What: The Northern Virginia School Hockey League is a non-profit organization open to varsity, junior varsity and club-based high school hockey teams in Northern Virginia.

There is also a middle school division.

-Total teams: There are 22 varsity, seven JV and 20 middle school teams.

-Local varsity teams: Battlefield, Patriot/Gainesville, Kettle Run/ Liberty, Flint Hill and Fauquier/ Highland compete in the Patrick Division.

-Home rink: Haymarket IcePlex -Links: Facebook.com/ BattlefieldHockeyClub or nvshl.org Junior forward Paul Allison (three goals, two assists) and senior defenseman Grant Wagner (two goals, three assists) have tallied five points apiece.

“We simply use more players than our opponent and by the third period we are able to wear them down and take advantage,” the coach said.

Goaltender Adam Perry, a senior who earned the win on Senior Night, shares the position with sophomore Daniel Daggett. Both have notched shutouts already.

“Having two strong goaltenders that you can rely on is a blessing in high school hockey,” Dziekan said.

Five more contests are on the Bobcats’ regular-season slate, which ends Feb. 4. Last year Battlefield went 9-0-1 before bowing out in the second round of the NVSHL playoffs.

Battlefield next plays Gainesville/ Patriot on Jan. 7 in Haymarket.

dry sink and an exit to the one-car basement garage.

Anita Valentina Linares Anita Valentina Linares, beloved mother and grandmother, joined the Virgin Mary and the angels in heaven on December 9th, 2021, while in hospice at her son’s home in Haymarket, VA. She was surrounded until the end by those she loved and who in turn loved her very much – her children, her daughter-in-law, her grandchildren, and her adopted family - the Browns. She is also deeply mourned by her family across the world and in Peru, her home country.

The fourth child of Pedro Osorio Buendía and Antonina Sermeño Obregon, Anita Valentina was born on July 25, 1944, in the port city of Callao. Don Pedro, who hailed from the coastal town of Pimentel, was a sailor in Peru’s War Navy. Antonina was a homemaker who had immigrated to Lima as a teen from the high-altitude Andean city of Huaraz. Anita was one of eight siblings and was preceded in death by the oldest, Pedro Osorio.

She is survived by her other siblings: Norma Luz (Germany), Flora Mercedes (Peru), Roberto Justo (Venezuela), Antonina “Blanca” Felicita (Germany), and Rosa Felicita (Uruguay), and Luis “Lucho” Trinidad (Panama).

Anita attended Colegio Bozano (high school) in Callao, where she excelled in academics. She received her B.A in elementary school education in 1969 and became a teacher like her maternal grandmother. Anita began her career teaching indigenous children at a Catholic mission school in a remote rainforest village named Quellouno in Cusco, she later taught elementary school in Puerto Maldonado and Lima.

After immigrating to the United States in the early 1980’s Anita still found ways to teach and nurture: she taught Spanish to home-schooled students, taught religious education classes at All Saint’s Church, and taught Spanish to her grandchildren.

Throughout the three decades that she lived in Manassas, Anita counselled many young Latina women, whom she met through work, the community, and Church. She would give them practical life advice and donations and would connect them with social services and legal aid. Anita set an example for ethical and compassionate conduct, which has inspired her children and grandchildren.

Anita was above all a well-read and intellectually curious woman. She read voraciously and loved reading folktales from the various countries that she visited: Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela, Panama, Paraguay and Europe. Anita loved nature and would have liked to become a biologist, given the incredible animal diversity she’d admired in her younger years working in remote areas of Peru. It is then no surprise that Anita has a collection of over 800 turtles of various designs, materials, and sizes, which she acquired during her travels, while antiquing, and which she received as birthday and holidays gifts.

Most of those who met Anita would say that she was the quintessential “life of the party.” Her energy lit up the room. She loved to dance salsa and danced it well. In her retirement years, her children and grandchildren would often walk into the kitchen and find Anita making dinner while dancing salsa and singing.

Anita will always be remembered as a loving, devoted, yet firm mother and a vivacious, lively, and nurturing grandmother. She is survived by her three adult children: Hugo Gregorio Linares (Hope), Vilma Belinda Linares, Juan Carlos Linares, who credit their professional achievements to her dedication and support.

She’s also survived by her grandchildren: Audreyanna Noel Linares, Morgan Jean Mittelman-Linares (Gary), Gregorio Viracocha Linares, Paola Victoria Linares.

Services will be held on Thursday, December 16th, 2021, at Pierce Funeral Home from 7-9pm, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, VA, 20110. The funeral mass will be held on Friday, December 17th, 2021, at noon, All Saints Catholic Church, 9300 Stonewall Road, Manassas, VA, 20110. A reception at Pierce Funeral Home will follow directly after mass. Memorial contributions in Anita’s honor may be made to Catholic Charities, whose mission “to provide service to people in need” perfectly reflect the fierce and incredibly loving human being who graced us with her presence: Anita V. Linares.

Harold “Bud” McCoy Groves Master Craftsman Harold “Bud” McCoy Groves, age 90, of Midland, VA went home to be with The Lord on Saturday, December 11th, 2021 peacefully at home.

Bud was born on Thursday, November 26, 1931 in Cramerton, NC. Bud served his country in the Army during the end of the Korean War. He attended Bob Jones University and became an ordained minister. He was a talented master craftsman who built many houses and worked on countless construction projects in the northern Virginia area. Bud loved his family and was devoted to them. He also enjoyed farming, gardening, flying his airplane, reading and studying his Bible, building small remote control airplanes, playing his piano, guitars, and banjo. Bud created so many craft type items, which included items for his sons’ Cub Scouts, the Church, and toys for his grandchildren. He spent time actively involved and serving The Lord at Calverton Baptist Church as a deacon and doing any carpentry work that the Church needed. After suffering a massive stroke in 2002, which took much of his ability to do the things he loved, he spent most of his days deep within his Bible study, listening to music, doing puzzles, and watching his favorite shows.

He is survived by his sons, Ricky Groves (Debbie), Jeffery Groves (Brenda); his grandchildren, Matthew Groves (Heather), Michael Groves, Amanda Kubat (Vince), David Groves (Amy Beitzell), Brandon Groves, Emily Snyder (Chris); and great-grandchildren, Lucas Kubat, Joseph Groves, Elias Groves, Jesse Lee Snyder, Colt McCoy Snyder, Saylah Groves, Wesley Groves, and Hailey Snyder. He is also survived by his sisters Margaret Moody and Brenda Howerter (Ronnie); and his brother, James Groves, as well as many other extended family members.

He is predeceased by his wife, Iva Lee Davis Groves; his father and mother, John Ernest and Kathleen Selma McGregor Groves; his sisters, Annie “Laura” Rodgers, Nellie “Frances” Curry, and Mary-Helen Cambio; and brothers, Forest Groves, Charlie Groves, John Groves Jr, Robert Groves, Craig Groves, and Wilson Groves.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday December 14, 2021 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA from from 6pm-8pm.

She was born on December 20, 1934 in Calverton, Virginia, daughter of the late Herbert Mandley Brown and Annie Soules Brown.

She is survived by her son, Larry Tarr (Noreen) of Oakton, VA; her daughter, Terri Balle (Chris) of Vienna, VA; six grandchildren, Finley, Kelsey and Mairin Tarr and Christopher, Laura and Rachel Balle; and her sister, Lucille (Sally) Brown Travers (Herbie) of Catharpin, VA.

Nancy grew up on a farm in Calverton, Virginia, where she lived until she met her beloved husband Tim while working at the Warrenton Training Center. They married on April 20, 1956 and together, they lived and worked overseas for 13 years in Germany and Greece with the Central Intelligence Agency, where they made life-long friends and lasting memories. They returned to Warrenton in 1973 with their 2 children, Larry and Terri, and they lived in the same home for the remainder of their lives. Nancy will be remembered as a strong, independent, hard-working, faithful and loving woman who devoted her life to her family. She spent the last sixteen years of her life as an adoring grandmother and her love will forever be etched in the hearts of her six grandchildren.

A memorial service and burial of ashes will be held on Tuesday, December 21 at noon at Culpeper National Cemetery, Historic side, 305 U.S. Avenue, Culpeper, VA 22701.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that gifts be directed to support breast cancer research conducted by Dr. Karen Smith at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center at Sibley Memorial Hospital. Make a gift online at sibleyfoundation.org or send checks payable to the Sibley Foundation at 5255 Loughboro Road, NW, Washington, DC 20016.
