‘They helped us. Now it’s our turn to help them.’ Volunteer group has so far resettled nearly 60 Afghan families in Northern Va. By Cher Muzyk
Contributing Writer
In mid-August, just days after Taliban fighters entered the capital of Afghanistan, Khaibar Khan Mohmand, 23, was violently attacked from behind and left bloodied on the street. Four months later, he has recovered and is settling into his new home in Dale City with the help of a group of dedicated local volunteers. On a recent December evening, after volunteers worked in the dark to deliver a bed, couch and television, Mohmand recounted his last, terrifying days in his home

County environmental staff Prince William being considered rejects rural data center plan for new NFL stadium
Report cites ‘major’ impacts to forests, streams By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County’s environmental officials are recommending that board of county supervisors deny a request to replan 2,133-acres in the rural crescent for data centers because of the risks the development poses to nearby forests, streams and wildlife. The county’s watershed management division submitted its comments Dec. 10 as part of a standard agency review of a comprehensive plan amendment application known as the “PW Digital Gateway.” “Major impacts would include loss
of extensive tracts of forest land, dramatic increases in impervious area, impact to numerous intermittent and perennial streams, steep slopes with highly erodible soils, wildlife habitat (including habitat for rare, threatened and endangered species) and potential impacts to wetlands,” said Benjamin Eib, assistant chief of the county’s watershed management branch. “The development of existing data centers has demonstrated that extensive mass grading and the nearly wholesale clearing and flattening of large parcels is the norm.” See DATA CENTER, page 5

Prince William County is among the areas in Northern Virginia in the running for a proposed new stadium and commercial complex for the Washington Football Team, according to two local state lawmakers. State Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, and Del. Luke Torian,

D-52nd, both said Tuesday they met with Washington Football Team officials last week to discuss the possibility. McPike said he and officials discussed the potential for a reduced capacity stadium in Northern Virginia that would be accompanied by a “vibrant” mixed-use, entertainment district. McPike compared the plan to a “mini-city” that would have residential areas, restaurants and other entertainment destinations. “I’ve got an open mind,” McPike said. “I think there’s a lot of potential there, and it’s certainly the right fit.” See STADIUM, page 2

COVID-19 cases surge in Prince William, doubling in the past week By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
COVID-19 cases are surging again across the U.S. and Prince William is no exception. The county is now officially in “surge” status, according to the Virginia Department of Health, and community transmission soared to 251.9 cases per 100,000 residents -- up nearly 60% in the past week. The Prince William Health District, which includes the county, Manassas and Manassas Park, reported a whopping 538 new cases on Wednesday, Dec. 22, pushing the seven-day average to 268.9. That’s an increase of more than 120% over the last seven days.
The alarming increase – which began just after Thanksgiving – has state health officials again issuing warnings about steps Virginians must take to keep from spreading the virus over the holidays. Residents are being urged to test themselves for the virus before gathering indoors with people from outside their households and to wear masks, social distance and wash their hands frequently -- but especially before eating. In a statement issued Tuesday, State Health Commissioner Dr. M. Norman Oliver said vaccines and booster shots offer protection from severe disease and death and urged those who are not yet vaccinated and boosted to do immediately.
“Unlike a year ago, however, we have tools to protect ourselves. The vaccines we have now are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalization and death due to infection with the omicron variant, especially among those who have received their booster dose. If you’re not vaccinated or have not gotten your booster dose, now is the time to do so.” The good news is that the surge has been accompanied by a renewed interest in COVID-19 vaccines and particularly booster shots, with large community vaccination centers across the state administering about 120% more boosters this week,

Prince William being considered for new NFL stadium STADIUM, from page 1 McPike said it is too early to know where a stadium complex might be sited in Prince William County but added that it would likely need to in the vicinity of transit hub or a major roadway such as Interstate 95. New National Football League stadiums are being pitched as expansive destination zones that can make money all year long, rather than a
few days a year during home games. The Washington Post reported on Monday, Dec. 20, that both Prince William and Loudoun counties are being considered for such a facility and surrounding development. The Post also reported that the team has not ruled out potential sites in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. Torian confirmed on Tuesday he spoke with Washington Football Team officials.
“Being that [Prince William is the] second-largest county in the commonwealth, I think it’s a good thing that our county is under consideration. No one knows what the outcome is going to be, obviously, but just to be in the conversation, I think is good for Prince William County,” Torian said. The Washington Football Team’s contract at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, ends in 2027, after which the team could find a new home. The team is discussing its plans with Virginia lawmakers in an effort to have the Virginia General Assembly pass legislation that would change the state’s baseball stadium authority, created in the 1990s to attract a Major League Baseball team to Virginia, to a new entity that would oversee the financing and construction of an NFL stadium. No legislation has been filed yet to alter the commonwealth’s existing stadium authority ahead of the General Assembly’s next session, which begins on Jan. 12. McPike and Torian declined to comment on the specifics of the legislation, but McPike confirmed the team is “looking at a stadium authority.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

SRO changes to leave discipline to principals – not police By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
A proposed new agreement between Prince William County’s school division and county police department aims to reduce children’s exposure to the criminal justice system. The school division recently released a newly revised “memorandum of understanding,” the agreement that governs the police officers’ role in the county’s public schools. The document directs school administrators – not school resource officers – to handle low-level criminal offenses committed by children in schools. “It is the goal of the [police department] and the PWCS that children are not unnecessarily exposed to the criminal justice system. Therefore, it shall be agreed that all minor criminal behavior committed by a child in the school setting will be handled by PWCS administration,” the memorandum states. The memorandum outlines the rules, training and procedures that school resource officers, sworn police officers assigned to work in middle and high schools, must follow. Public comment on the document can be submitted on the school division’s website until Thursday, Dec. 30.
“It is the goal of the [police department] and PWCS that children are not unnecessarily exposed to the criminal justice system,” the new agreement says. Prince William County Schools Superintendent LaTanya McDade sent an email to parents last Friday, Dec. 10, stating her support for the updated memorandum. McDade said the new rules “will help clarify the role of SROs in our schools and include new training and screening requirements – all with the aim of bolstering student and staff safety.” An overhaul of the school division’s school resource officer rules by the school division and police department began earlier this year. Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham said in September that the revisions would likely include new rules ensuring school resource officers do not arrest students for “minor offenses,” such as thefts and disorderly conduct. “These are the types of things that can get our students unnecessarily involved in the criminal justice system. ... I think collectively, we want to get away from that,” Newsham
COVID-19 cases surge in Prince William SURGE, from page 2 according to Sean Johnson, spokesman for the Prince William Health District. The CVC at the old Gander Mountain store administered 1,525 doses on Tuesday, Dec. 21, which is 210% higher than its usual capacity of 725 doses. Of those, 1,233 were booster shots, while 134 were pediatric first doses, Johnson said. Johnson said the upcoming holidays are likely driving the rush even more than dire warnings about the rising spread of the more contagious omicron variant, which the CDC says is now responsible for about 70% of new cases in the U.S. Omicron is predicted to fuel “rapid case growth” in Virginia over the holidays and could lead to “a severe surge in February 2022 that is likely to exceed that of winter 2021,” according to the latest report by the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute, which has been tracking the course of the coronavirus in Virginia and modeling its future spread. Still, only about 26% of adults in Prince William County have received their booster shots, even though more than 80% are “fully vaccinated,” meaning they have received two doses of the vaccine, according to VDH data. Johnson advised local residents to “act as if they are not vaccinated and protect [themselves]” from the new variant. Everyone should wear face masks in all indoor public spaces and even inside their homes if they are with people with whom they don’t live, Johnson said.
People should also consider wearing eye glasses or other eye protection when in public to prevent catching the virus through their eyes, Johnson said. Washing or sanitizing one’s hands frequently, and especially before eating, is another crucial mitigation strategy, Johnson said. So far, vaccinated and boosted people who contract the omicron variant are mostly showing milder symptoms, but Johnson said people should not take the risk of getting infected if they can avoid it. “Your symptoms might be mild, but who wants to take that chance?” Johnson said. “People are still dying. They’re still going to the hospital.” Sixty more Prince William Health District residents were hospitalized for COVID-19 in the past week, including four children under 9, one young person between the ages of 10 and 19, four people in their 20s, seven in their 30s, three in their 40s and seven in their 50s, according to VDH data. The Prince William Health District also reported four more deaths due to COVID-19 this week. The most recent victims were all men. The youngest two were in their 30s, while one was in their 50s and one in their 70s. The county’s death toll due to the pandemic now stands at 663. The victims include 379 men and 284 women; 593 were residents of Prince William County, while 54 lived in Manassas and 15 in Manassas Park. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com
said at the time. The revision to the memorandum comes at a time when parents are increasingly concerned about a perceived uptick of school fights in local schools. During a recent meeting of the school division’s Safe Schools Advisory Council, however, school officials said there has not been an uptick in fights when incidents are compared on an annual basis. McDade recommended that data be broken down by quarter to better assess whether there have been more fights at the start of this school year compared to previous years. The revised memorandum continues to allow SROs to interview students without prior parental consent if they are investigating a school-related incident that could have potential safety consequences for students and employees, including student fights that may result in retaliation, threats against students or employees, gang-related offenses or drug or weapon possession. At the state and local level, the debate over whether to remove police officers from schools throughout Virginia has been an ongoing conversation. School boards in Arlington
Police Chief Peter Newsham County and the City of Alexandria both voted to remove police officers from their schools entirely earlier this year. Alexandria has since decided to return them to schools. In Prince William County, the local NAACP has advocated for the removal of school resource officers from county schools entirely. At the state level, the Virginia General Assembly enacted several new laws in 2020 aimed at closing the “school-to-prison pipeline.” A new law banned disorderly conduct charges from being levied against Virginia students during school, on buses or at school-sponsored events. Another law removed a requirement that school principals report student acts that constitute a misdemeanor to law enforcement. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

‘They helped us. Now it’s our turn to help them.’ RAFT, from page 1 attached at the other end. In and out of consciousness, Mohmand lay on the sidewalk bleeding, pretending to be dead. Sometime later, a van picked him up and took him to the hospital. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the intensive care unit at the hospital where he worked. Mohmand said there is a reason he was attacked. His late father had been in the Afghan National Army for 40 years, reached the rank of general and worked with American soldiers to fight the Taliban who his father said had “misused their power.” “I was the son of a soldier. I was the son of a general. Everyone knows that because my father was a commander of an army,” he said. Alarmed that he had become a Taliban target, Mohmand left the hospital as soon as he was able and walked straight to the airport with his head, back and hand still bandaged from the attack. Mohmand said he arrived at the airport gate with just one extra change of clothes and his school transcripts. While he had no money nor food, he had something of value: He is fluent in seven languages: Dari, Pashto, Farsi, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali and English. After navigating through hordes of people, Mohmand said he found British troops and offered to help them communicate with Afghans who were quickly amassing at the airport. Mohmand said he assisted British forces in the effort to evacuate eligible Afghan civilians for two days until he found his way to the U.S. Marines and began translating for them. “I became the Marines’ interpreter over there. I volunteered,” he said. Mohmand said there was no food at the airport, and he had only the water the Marines shared to drink. As flights out of the city waned, Mohmand continued translating for the Marines as the evacuation effort grew more desperate by the day. After five days at the airport, the Marines agreed Mohmand was in danger and wouldn’t survive in Taliban-controlled Kabul. “They told me, ‘You want to go?’ I told them, ‘I am not safe in Afghanistan. Is it possible to transfer me to the United States?’ They helped me a lot in the airport. [Later] they told me, ‘You get to go. You can go.’ And I got on a flight out of Afghanistan on August 25th.” Both grateful and relieved, Mohmand said he sat on the floor of a military plane as it left Afghanistan behind. “I don’t have good memories from Afghanistan,” he said. Mohmand’s plane first landed in Qatar. He then went to Germany where he spent four days at a U.S. military base receiving care for his wounds. Just one flight later, Mohmand finally stepped foot onto U.S. soil at Dulles airport, ready to begin his new life. “I’ll do my best. I’ll try hard in the United States,” he said. “I would be a good citizen in the United States. I’m very happy to be in the United States.”
NoVA RAFT
Mohmand is one of about 73,000 Afghan allies who have arrived in the U.S. since American forces pulled out of their country in mid-August. Dan Altman and Natalie Perdue, longtime friends who live in Springfield, said they knew immediately that many of the refugees would be coming to Northern Virginia and would need help with the basics: finding places to live, getting furniture, clothes and supplies, registering kids for school and finding medical care. In late August, Altman and Perdue held a meeting for friends and neighbors willing to assist the soon-to-arrive Afghans. That night, 59 people showed up. They agreed to help set up homes for 10 families by gathering donations and recruiting volunteers to move furniture and supplies.

Volunteers are needed to pick up furniture from donors, organize inventory, set up homes and provide follow-up assistance. Sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/ go/10c0f4baba82dabffc61-furniture That night, NoVA RAFT – Northern Virginia Resettling Afghan Families Together – an all-volunteer effort to welcome Afghans to the U.S. with kindness and dignity, was born. Since then, NoVA RAFT has become a lifeline for dozens of Afghans who have arrived in Virginia with almost nothing, except for the single soft-sided bags of personal items they were allowed to bring on the planes. Perdue said the effort requires a mass of good-hearted volunteers to turn completely empty apartments into warm and welcoming homes for traumatized families. NoVa RAFT organizers began their work by spreading the word about the need for donations of furniture and household goods. Volunteer drivers pick up donations and bring them to a holding area, where more volunteers sort and inventory them. Team leads meet with Afghan families to determine their needs and “shop” for them from the donated stock. Next, home set-up volunteers unload and set up refugees’ new homes with care. Volunteers also provide follow-up support with tasks such as getting drivers’ licenses and ID cards, filling out job applications, registering children for school and finding doctors. Donations are a constant need. Always-in-demand items include mattresses, furniture, coats, traditional pressure cookers (not Instant Pots), electric tea kettles and UBER gift cards. Tammy Ross, a Montclair resident, is the point person for NoVA RAFT in Prince William County. She is trying to recruit more local volunteers as more and more Afghan families move into areas of both eastern and western Prince William. As of mid-December, NoVA RAFT had outfitted nearly 60 homes, far exceeding their initial goal. And they have no plans of stopping as the need grows. Another 150 families are expected to arrive in the region by the end of December as they transition from military housing, including at Quantico, Ross said. Jennifer Himes, a federal employee who resides in Alexandria, recently found out about NoVA RAFT in a local “Buy Nothing” Facebook group and has already assisted with six home setups including Mohmand’s. Himes said she drove to Woodbridge multiple times to help move furniture, set up kitchens, put together cribs and donate goods. “They helped us, and now it’s our turn to help them,” Himes said, adding: “It really just kind of breaks your heart a little bit because you come in and these people have literally nothing.”
Landing in Dale City
Mohmand said he spent 45 days in quarantine at Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Virginia, where he received vaccinations, had his biometric data recorded, applied for a work permit and submitted his request for a Special Immigrant Visa. As soon as he could, Mohmand announced on his Facebook page that he had arrived in the U.S. and needed a place to stay. Family friends of Mohmand’s late father responded right away. Also, originally from the Nangarhar Province, they received their visas four years ago and are already established in a comfortable townhome in Dale City. The family of six offered their basement to Mohmand. Being fluent in English and having an offer of housing and support from a family friend is the exception and not the rule. Most Afghan refugees have neither advantage and must rely on assistance from resettlement agencies and groups like NoVA RAFT. Some families sleep on the floor of empty apartments for days or even weeks as they wait for bed frames and mattresses, Perdue said. NoVA RAFT volunteers supplied Mohmand a small sofa, a chest of drawers, a bed frame, a mattress, sheets, towels, cleaning supplies and a television. Eleven volunteers -- all families with school-aged kids -- showed up after dark and in the cold to move the furniture. All drove from Arlington or Alexandria to help. Guided by cell phone lights, they unloaded the moving van and carried everything into Mohmand’s new home. Then everyone gathered inside to hear his story. The family offered the volunteers fresh fruit, and Mohmand thanked them for their help. Like others NoVA RAFT has helped, Mohmand said he was overwhelmed by the volunteers’ generosity. “American people are very hospitable people, very hospitable. I like to be in America,” he said.
American dreams and plans
Mohmand said he taught himself to speak English with an American accent by watching American television shows and movies when he was young. His favorite movie was the “The Terminator,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, which he said he watched repeatedly and dreamed of coming to the U.S. Mohmand said that his father passed away during heart surgery 11 years ago. After that tragedy, Mohmand’s mother would say to him, “’Khaibar, be a doctor.’ She had a dream that I would be a big doctor,” he said. She passed away a few years later in a car accident. Before he left, Mohmand was training to be a surgeon. Here, he is glad to have received his work permit and immediately applied for a job at McDonald’s. “I have to start working as soon as possible. It doesn’t matter, but I have to start [earning an] income,” he said. He also wants to get his driver’s license and eventually a car. He recently passed the written portion of the driver’s license exam. While the test may be taken in several languages, Mohmand insisted on passing it in English. “I told them I am going to pass in English. It’s not a problem. … I study hard,” he said. “My dream is to be a good doctor, to be the best surgeon in America. That was my biggest dream. And also, my dream is to serve America, American troops, and also to be a good citizen in America.” Mohmand said he also has a fiancé whom he hopes to bring to the U.S. one day. But first, his plan is to “get a simple job for myself to work in America and file for my green card,” he said. “I’ll work a full day [and then] at the off time, I’m going to study for my medical school and try to find a scholarship to medical school,” he added. “This is my target.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@gmail.com

The proposed “PWC Digital Gateway” plan could open more than 2,000 acres to future data centers in county’s “rural crescent,” including on land bordering the Manassas National Battlefield Park. PHOTO BY ROGER SNYDER
County environmental staff rejects rural data center plan DATA CENTER, from page 1 The watershed management branch is recommending the county make no changes to the existing comprehensive plan. However, if the board of county supervisors chooses to approve the application anyway, Eib said the division would like the county to implement “major preservation, buffering and site design strategies” to lessen visual and environmentally detrimental effects. That would include extending tree buffers in areas around protected forests, historic resources and roadways by 200 feet and extending protections around wetlands, streams and wildlife corridors. The archeology, transportation and parks, recreation and tourism departments, have also posted their comments. County Archaeologist Justin Patton said the gateway plan and any associated data center rezonings that come with it “have a high potential to adversely affect cultural resources” in the area. Patton recommended that more than 100 hundred acres included in the application that are closest to the Manassas battlefield remain under the current agricultural, or A-1, land-use designation, effectively shielding that land from future data center development. Agricultural designations “are far less destructive to battlefield resources and the battlefield viewshed than … data center use,” Patton said. The board of county supervisors has the final say in whether the gateway plan is approved. The plan still must undergo further review from county agencies. The county is planning to hold a public input session early next year before planning staff officially recommends that the application be approved or denied. It then heads to the planning commission for a public hearing, and finally to the board of county supervisors. No dates have yet been set for the public information session nor the required public hearings. Dozens of homeowners who live along the Pageland Lane corridor adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park are requesting county supervisors change the land-use designation on their properties from agricultural uses to allow for data centers. If approved, the CPA would replan the area for 27.6 mil-
lion square feet of data centers in the vicinity of Manassas Battlefield National Park and Conway Robinson State Forest – more than Loudoun County’s data center alley. The proposal is within the county’s rural crescent, a 117,000-acre swath of land in western and southern Prince William County created in 1998 where residential, commercial and industrial development is severely restricted. Virginia state House delegates and county supervisors in western Prince William County are concerned the gateway will have a negative impact on their constituents. Meanwhile, the plan has garnered support from supervisors on the eastern side of the county who live far from the proposed development site. Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, and county Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, who represent parts of western Prince William, have both stated their firm opposition to the development. They held a joint town hall meeting at Heritage Hunt, a 55-and-over community in Gainesville, on Dec. 15 to rally their constituents against the plan. Del. Dan Helmer, D-40th, whose district encompasses western Prince William and southern Fairfax, wrote a letter to the board of county supervisors in December requesting they proceed “extremely cautiously,” with the proposal. In the letter he cited concerns about its impact to the environment, Manassas National Battlefield Park and the rural character of the area. “The Prince William Digital Gateway stands to be a major economic development opportunity but also would irrevocably transform the character of Northwest Prince William County and may threaten our environment,” Helmer said. “... I also hope the board will reflect deeply on the impact to Manassas National Park, a national treasure.” Democratic county supervisors have supported efforts to bring more data centers to the county. All five voted in favor of studying the PW Digital Gateway comprehensive plan amendment in July. Of those, four represent eastern districts. They include at-large Chair Ann Wheeler (D) who represents the entire county and lives in western Prince William. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Dear Readers,
December 23, 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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Supervisors’ pursuit of data centers reignites the power of the people I’ve spoken many times before the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to share my opinions about the insistent actions it has taken, and continue to take, toward data center expansion outside of the county’s overlay district and into the “rural crescent” and our national landmarks. There was a recent article in Bisnow that focused on the increasingly hostile environment that data center developers are facing at the local level. It specifically calls out Prince William County and quotes the president of a Boston-based PR firm, saying he “worries that people are only learning what data centers are in the context of their environmental impacts or as a branch of ‘big tech.’” How bold of him? How transparent? He doesn’t debate or dispute our opposition; he simply provides strategies for overcoming it.
The one-sidedness of the current majority on the county board has often left me feeling defeated. But what I’ve come to realize is that I’ve been shortsighted. Its actions are just what we needed to wake people up and embolden their power. The power lies with the people. In light of this realization, I want to thank the board of supervisors for waking us up through actions that are so incongruent with the will of the people and our desire to protect our natural resources that we have no choice but to take action. I’ve walked the halls of our state Capitol and the Pocahontas building many, many times. January is just around the corner. I will be walking them again and land use in Prince William County will be on my agenda. NADIA STEWART Haymarket
Former supervisor: Data centers ‘a gift’ for Prince William County When I moved to Prince William County in 1967 with my wife and newborn, Pageland Lane was a gravel road. I could not imagine the change the next 54 years would bring. I thought it was wonderful and hoped it would never change! In the mid-1980s, I was an elected member of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. I did my best to help Prince William retain its rural/farming character. The pressure to develop was enormous. The Washington, D.C. area was growing jobs, but not all could afford to live in Fairfax; cheaper land was in great demand. That pressure increases today. Areas I never thought would sustain high-density housing are now fully developed. The pressure on the rural areas has not let up.
The suggested data center initiative makes the most sense for this area. Prince William County is not going to stop its residential growth. Pageland Lane has been ripe for such development for many years. It is a matter of when, not “if” it will be developed. Prince William citizens are being given a gift. The county has an alternative to residential development. This is the opportunity to create a positive net revenue generator while retaining some of the rural character. I recommend that the the board of county supervisors and planning commission approve the proposed PW Digital Gateway. TONY GUIFFRÉ Haymarket

Tax revenue, jobs, telecommuting: all reasons to support new data centers I have lived in the Gainesville area for over 20 years. As an IT professional for 30-plus years, I have never seen such a positive transformation of small businesses and innovation that data centers bring. This is bigger than the “rural crescent.” The proposed “PW Digital Gateway” is a game changer for Prince William County. • Potential tax revenue: The estimated additional $800M of commercial tax revenue will fund projects like the Silver Lake quarry recreation area, a new community center (like Freedom Center) for the teenage kids and swim teams, thanks to data centers. • Jobs: Tens of thousands of construction jobs and a sustained job base of high-paying local jobs. • Environment/conservation: If rural crescent zoning rules are loosened, it opens the doors to developers who threaten to bring breweries and more dense hous-
ing. We need less traffic and congestion, not more. Furthermore, newer data center technologies allow for water-less cooling and hydrogen powered backups. With less need for water, it brings less need for treatment plants. • Commute: The COVID pandemic allowed me to work from home and enjoy more quality time with my family. The increase in remote work requires more cloud-based services. This brings less commuting, reducing road congestion. We are in this together. We have to decide as a community if we want better schools, parks, roads and lower taxes. The proposed “PW Digital Gateway,” which would create a new data center corridor along Pageland Lane, is the perfect solution. Life is short. Don’t squander this rare opportunity.

Finding great movies just got easier Hint: Grab your library card By Kirk Johnson
Contributing Writer
What’s better than bundling up with a cozy blanket, a hot drink and a new movie? FREE new movies, courtesy of Prince William Public Libraries. The libraries offer many great platforms for digital content – including movies – that you can access 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from anywhere in the world. All you need is something to watch them on, the internet and a library card, of course. The county’s libraries can provide so many movies, shows, music, audiobooks, ebooks, magazines and graphic novels online because we subscribe to several different services. There are many advantages to this, but one of the few drawbacks is that each service has its own platform to search and utilize separately. We are always looking for ways
COURTESY IMAGE
Prince William library card holders can access streaming TV shows and movies for free with the Libby and kanopy apps. to simplify and streamline the online experience. One innovation is a step in that direction: If you use the Libby app for ebooks, audiobooks and magazines from OverDrive, you can now access our Kanopy streaming movie and TV show platform through the same app. Give it a try. You can find the Kanopy app under “extras”
in the Libby app. If you already have a Kanopy account, log in like before and, if you don’t already have one, you can create a new account in the Libby app. This allows patrons to access both platforms and their respective content through the same app. The existing Kanopy app is not being phased out, and patrons are welcome to continue using it if they don’t have a Libby account and don’t wish to create one. We’re committed to offering an easy user experience and this is just one small step towards achieving that goal of providing a single, seamless access point to all the digital content PWPL has to offer. If you’re a longtime Libby user who has not yet checked out the great movies, documentaries, and TV shows at Kanopy, maybe now is the time to find out what you’ve been missing.

What’s Hot at Prince William Libraries: December 2021 By Kirk Johnson
Contributing Writer
With the Christmas holiday just around the corner, families are busy making plans to travel, host gatherings, or just to find ways to keep themselves and their company entertained during the “down periods” during the sometimes stressful – and frantic – holidays. And there are few better ways to unwind and relax during the holidays than to watch Christmas movies. Prince William Public Libraries has hundreds of titles available, ranging from classics to just-released new titles, adult and children’s movies, American and foreign, light-hearted and serious, comedies and dramas— just about any mood or genre you might wish. If you are at your local library and want to pick up a movie to pop in the DVD player back home, there are more than 100 titles in the library catalog to pick from. The modern classic, “A Christmas Story,” is easy to find in reruns this time of year, but the library has a deluxe two-disc edition that offers the movie in both full-screen and widescreen format, as well as extra features including cast interviews, readings by author
Jean Shepherd, features about some of the plot elements and a documentary about the making of the movie as well as its impact. It’s a great way to deepen your appreciation for— and engagement with—a familiar contemporary staple. Another modern classic is “The Muppet Christmas Carol,” which over the years has not only been recognized as one of the best Muppet movies, but also has a lot of partisans who argue that it is one of the best adaptations of Charles Dickens’ classic story. Along with dozens of DVDs to pick from, your library also offers hundreds of Christmas-themed titles digitally through hoopla Digital.
The offerings range from recent TV movies featuring Hallmark Channel stalwarts Candace Cameron and Danica McKellar, to children’s movies both animated and live-action, and a handful of classics, including the 1984 production of “A Christmas Carol,” featuring George C. Scott. While the library’s other digital movie platform Kanopy specializes in foreign, independent and art films, don’t think there’s nothing Christmas-themed to watch. A quick search for “Christmas” in Kanopy will produce many interesting results, including “The Man Who Invented Christmas,” a story about Charles Dickens coming to write the classic mentioned above.
There is also “A Christmas Tale,” a somewhat darkly comic twist on the Santa story from Finland. And there are documentaries, including “Road Trip for Ralphie,” about a delightfully obsessive young couple whose shared love for “A Christmas Story” brings them together and then led them on a quest to learn all there was to know about the film. It’s an eclectic mix of offerings, all united in some way by the spirit of the holiday. Put on your silly sweater, pour yourself some egg nog and gift yourself to some holiday movie viewing today.

SHOWING GRIT, OSBOURN GIRLS ENJOY 5-3 START With former player Nguyen now coaching, Eagles roar back to edge Unity Reed, 28-24 By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times
More than five years had passed since the last time the Osbourn’s girls’ basketball team defeated their Manassas rivals from Unity Reed, a five-point overtime win Dec. 7, 2016. The Lions had soundly swept the rivalry series until Dec. 17, when the Eagles mounted a massive comeback to claim a shocking 28-24 road win. It’s a statement victory for new head coach Quynh Nguyen, in her first season leading the program she starred for 15 years ago. “I’d been kind of waiting around for this job for a while,” said Nguyen, who graduated in 2006 and played at the University of Tampa before embarking on a high school coaching career, previously leading nearby Liberty High in Bealeton. “This is what I’ve always wanted, to be coaching here at home,” said Nguyen, a PE teacher at Osbourn. One of her assistants is Mikal Johnson, another former Eagle who played collegiately at Mount St. Mary’s. “It’s nice having alums on the coaching staff,” Nguyen said. “It’s really an intangible feeling. I’m super-grateful to be here.” Osbourn is 5-3 with Cedar Run District triumphs over Reed and John Champe and non-district wins over Hylton and Freedom. If all goes well, the Eagles will enjoy their first .500 season since the 2012-13 campaign, when they went 12-12.
Coach Quyhn Nguyen and the Eagles are 5-3 and bidding for the program’s first .500 season since 2013. The 2006 Osbourn grad was a star guard who went on to play at the University of Tampa.
Osbourn fast facts
-Last season: 1-10, 0-8 in Cedar Run -This season (as of Dec. 20): 5-3, 2-1 in Cedar Run -Head coach: Quynh Nguyen (1st year) -Key performers: Fantasia Payne, point guard, Sr.; Amiyana Williams, guard, Jr.; Kymora Payne, forward, Jr.; Esther Nantume, forward, Fr.; Kayli West, forward, Sr.
A major comeback
Down 20-4 at halftime inside Unity Reed’s gym, it looked like another Osbourn loss to its rival. But Nguyen wasn’t discouraged. “The first half, we were getting to the basket, getting good looks. The ball just didn’t want to go in. I mean, it was spinning out,” she said. “I went in at halftime and told them to keep doing what we’re doing. I didn’t really make any adjustments. Everything looked good except for the finish.” When the Eagles came out of the locker room and scored a basket almost immediately, Nguyen breathed a sigh of relief. “I was like, here we go,” she said. Spurred by the bucket, the Eagles dropped into their customary man defense and shut the Lions down. Osbourn ran off an 8-0 run in the third and a dominating 16-0 run in the fourth to pull off the come-frombehind thriller. “It was just grit,” Nguyen praised. “We got a bucket and a stop, a bucket and a stop. Then we looked up at the scoreboard and we were in it.” Junior guard Amiyana Williams put in 10 points, adding seven rebounds and four steals. Freshman guard Esther Nantume led with 11 points, grabbing seven rebounds. Senior point guard and captain Fantasia Payne was tenacious with six steals, contributing five rebounds. “It’s always nice when your guards rebound,” Nguyen noted. At the final buzzer, the Eagles celebrated their first win over the Lions in a half-decade. “Obviously super, super exciting. That Unity Reed game is always big for the girls,” Nguyen said. “That win gave them a little vindication. They’re starting to see what we’ve been telling them.” This season is shaping up to be big for the Osbourn girls, too.

“This is what I’ve always wanted, to be coaching here at home.” -- QUYNH NGUYEN, OSBOURN GIRLS BASKETBALL HEAD COACH
New-look Eagles
Nguyen wasn’t dissuaded by Osbourn’s 1-10 record last season. She saw glimpses of qualities she liked about this season’s team. “We’d been putting it in their head since summer, that we have the pieces,” the coach said. “We just needed to work hard to put the pieces together.” The Eagles are a defense-first team, relying on quick rotation to compensate for lack of size. “We’re holding teams to 33 points per game,” Nguyen said accurately. “I always say defense is about wantto. They’re buying in, working hard. They take pride in it.” The offense is ignited by Payne, whose quickness gets her to the basket “at will,” Nguyen said. Alongside in the backcourt is Williams, who has “great floor vision,” and Nantume, a precocious freshman. Senior Kayli West and junior Kymora Payne (no relation to Fantasia) led the forward corps as rebound specialists. “They’re not very big, but they’ll battle. They make sure they box out and they go after the ball. Gritty kids,” Nguyen said. Osbourn is bringing more than talent to the court. Nguyen said the Eagles are developing a strong bond as teammates.

I think that helps us a lot when we’re in a situation like we were at Unity Reed. They stuck together and fought out of it together.”
Homecoming for the head coach
Turning around a program isn’t easy, let alone in a single year. But Nguyen is making herself an early candidate for Coach of the Year in the Cedar Run District, if not all of Region 6B. Tasting success at Osbourn is especially gratifying, considering the coach used to wear that uniform herself. “It’s everything I’d hoped for. It’s been very special. Not many people get to be the head coach at their alma mater,” said Nguyen of leading the Eagles. “Everything’s come full circle for me.”
