Decision time for Digital Gateway $1 billion real estate deal is at stake in mega-data-center project nearly triple the size of Arlington cemetery

Nearly triple the size of the Arlington National Cemetery

Driving along Pageland Lane between Lee Highway and Sudley Road, with its acres of rolling meadows and miles of tree line fully in view, one begins to grasp the enormity of the proposed Prince William Digital Gateway.

In some directions, the land on which the project would be built stretches as far as the eye can see — three miles from north to south and two miles east to west. That’s nearly triple the size of Arlington National Cemetery and three times bigger than the National Mall — from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.

Buildings as long as three football fields

The Prince William Board of Supervisors will take up its most controversial data center vote yet on Dec. 12, one that could make the county the data center capital of the world.

The project, known as the Prince William Digital Gateway, proposes 37 data centers spread among 1,760 acres in western Prince William on land adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park. Because of its location, as well as its enormous size, the project has been controversial since it was first proposed back in early 2021.

If approved, the development would put Prince William on track to eclipse the data center development in Loudoun County, resulting in Prince William County having the largest concentration in North America of the huge, windowless buildings that house the computer servers required to operate the internet.

Here’s what is known about the Digital Gateway, including its size and scope as well as the money behind the massive development.

Prince William Digital Gateway

Deshundra Jefferson was elected chair of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 7 after campaigning for months against large and controversial data center projects such as the recently ap- Deshundra Jefferson proved Devlin Technology Park and the massive Prince William Digital Gateway, which is slated for a vote next week.

But despite her opposition, she said she has so far been unsuccessful in persuading the board’s sitting Democratic majority that allowing data centers too close to homes, schools and especially historic sites isn’t a good thing.

“I’m very much against these types of (data center) decisions,” Jefferson said in an interview after the supervisors’ Nov. 28 vote to approve Devlin Technology Park. “It played a lot into my decision to run for board. There’s an irony See JEFFERSON, page 6

In what would be one of the largest new data center developments in the world, the Digital Gateway proposes to transform 1,700 acres of homes and farms next to the Manassas National Battlefield Park into a corridor of 37 data centers.

With such development comes enormous power demands. Exactly how much power will be needed to fuel the Digital Gateway’s 37 buildings is not yet known. QTS and Compass have not provided county planners with an estimate, nor has Dominion Energy. While data centers’ power use varies widely, even the lowest numbers seen at other data centers suggest the Digital Gateway will require 2 to 3 gigawatts (or 2,000 to 3,000 megawatts) of power. That’s

From staff reports The Prince William County School Board has reached tentative agreements with the teachers’ union on a series of negotiated changes that offered some extra pay and improved benefits, but the board balked at the teachers’ pay demands, which began with a proposed 17% pay hike.

The school division is moving forward with what it called 6% average pay raise, but union officials said they calculated the average raise closer to 5%.

With a Dec. 1 deadline set by the school division now past, negotiators for both sides agreed to set aside the pay raise question and leave any agreement on pay for a future conversation. The development marks the end — for now — of the school division’s first-ever collective bargaining attempt with its more than 11,000 teachers and staff.

filled with 37 buildings each averaging about 150,000 square feet. That’s the equivalent of buildings one football field wide and three football fields long.

The footprint of those 37 buildings — not counting adjacent areas paved for parking and generator pads — would be five times the footprint of the Pentagon, which is the world’s largest office building.

The developers have asked for up to 22.3 million square feet of data center space. Loudoun County, the current data center capital of the world, has data center inventory of about 27 million square feet.

‘Pumpkin man’ collects 5K pumpkins for area farm animals

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

As the temperature dips below freezing and holiday lights begin to twinkle on rooftops, a local Marine veteran has turned cleaning up our fall decorations — specifically pumpkins — into a mission.

“The Pumpkin Man,” as Michael Prosser, 66, calls himself, has been collecting pumpkins since Nov. 1 and reached his goal of retrieving 5,000 this week. That’s more than 30 pickup truck loads of pumpkins, all of which he delivered to Warrenton farm animals.

Driving a pickup adorned with a “Pumpkins for Pigs” banner, Prosser, of Bristow, scooped up hundreds of pumpkins from homes in western Prince William County that would otherwise have ended up in the county landfill.

“Oh, she does have nice pumpkins here. Like five big ones!” Prosser said during a Wednesday, Nov. 29 stop, as he pulled over for an interview with the Prince William Times. Prosser’s truck was already loaded with pumpkins, but he was out collecting a few more.

“I’m having so much fun; my voice is getting hoarse from talking with people,” Prosser said. “I probably could collect double the pumpkins if I didn’t talk, but then I wouldn’t be having fun.”

Prosser posts fliers in communities announcing his annual pumpkin drive and asks residents to text him when they are done with their un-

carved, unpainted pumpkins.

“I noticed that you have pumpkins on your porch. When you are ready to dispose of them, could I ask you to text me with your address and place the pumpkins at the curb?” says Prosser’s flier, which includes his cell number. “Instead of going to the landfill, I take them to a local farm so they can feed their animals.”

This is the second year Prosser has collected pumpkins and delivered them to a farmer friend on Meetze Road in Warrenton who feeds them to his pigs, cows and goats. The friend also shares them with other local farmers raising livestock. Prosser said the pumpkins provide healthy meals for the animals and that the seeds are a natural dewormer.

“Recycling plus a food source,” Prosser said. “It’s a win-win.”

Prosser said he has made lots of connections over social media and even picked up several truckloads from the Yankey Farms pumpkin patch in Nokesville and the Merrifield Gardens store in Gainesville. Prosser said he hauls all the pumpkins to his truck and has had plenty topping 50 pounds. But he’s just as happy to take small pumpkins, he said.

“I want them too. Small pumpkins feed small pigs.”

“I’ve met the most wonderful people,” Prosser said. Prosser even charmed a woman who threatened to call the police on him when she thought he was stealing pumpkins

Prosser served in the U.S. Marine Corps and retired after 20 years of service. He had a second career at ICF International as a facilities manager and then retired again. But after Prosser lost his spouse three years ago to lung cancer, his life changed. “Being a caregiver was harder than being a Marine,” he said.

Prosser said he was sitting at home in Bristow, where he has lived for 26 years, staring out the window when he saw a squirrel lick a small pumpkin he had in his yard.

“I went out with a screwdriver and put a hole in it. Within three days, it was gone between squirrels, raccoons and a fox in the neighborhood,” Prosser said. “It was totally gone, that pumpkin.

That’s what gave me the idea. And it’s worked great for two years now.”

Prosser has become a familiar sight in Manassas, Bristow, Gainesville and Nokesville picking up pumpkins.

“You’ll see me in my, uh, ‘uniform.’ I have a Mickey Mouse orange shirt, an orange hat and my jeans are covered in pumpkin,” he said.

He’s glad to allow youngsters to climb into his truck bed and toss their own pumpkins on top of the pile.

“Those kids were all probably 5 to 10 years old, and they stood in the back tailgate and just threw their own pumpkins in there. That makes their day,” Prosser said. “Now they’ll talk about the Pumpkin Man.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com

Decision time for Digital Gateway

GATEWAY, from page 1

enough to power at least 500,000 homes, based on a gauge used by Dominion Energy.

Depending on what the Digital Gateway data centers are used for, they could require a lot more.

For perspective, Prince William County had 162,100 households in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. As such, barring any significant advancements in energy efficiency, the Digital Gateway will require three times the county’s current residential power demand.

700 diesel generators

Data center buildings typically are supported by banks of emergency diesel generators, designed to run during a power outage so that the computers inside never stop running. A survey by the Prince William Times of data centers in Prince William and nearby counties shows buildings the size of the Digital Gateway data centers to have 20 to 30 commercial-sized diesel generators.

For instance, a 215,000-square-foot Amazon data center on Tanner Way, close to Great Oak, south of Manassas, hosts 26 generators. Plans for the 220,000-square-foot building proposed by Amazon in Warrenton depict 28 diesel generators.

If the 37 buildings proposed for the gateway have on average just 20 generators each, the project would have more than 700 generators. The roar of 700 generators coming online at once would certainly surpass the county’s noise limits, but the project’s developers have specifically excluded emergency generator noise from their promises to keep the project quiet. (A rule change proposed last summer by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality to let diesel generators run non-stop during power shortages was withdrawn in the face of intense citizen opposition.)

Of course, it is possible that coming efficiencies might reduce the size or number of generators needed, or their noise levels, but data center experts say the rise of artificial intelligence will increase data center power needs — and emergency backup needs — three-fold in the next decade.

$1 billion-plus real estate deal

The size of the project can also be measured in dollars. In 2022, as a rough gauge of investment in the project, the Prince William County Finance Office estimated the developers will spend $25.7 billion on land, computers and fixtures over 20 years.

More than 100 landowners are under contract to sell their homes and farms to Compass and QTS if the rezoning is approved. But the per-acre selling prices are not entirely clear. Earlier this year, an email among residents in the corridor discussed a $910,000-per-acre contract with Compass. Sources close to that deal said that number was reasonably accurate. That would mean the 90 landowners, with 884 acres under contract to Compass, would haul in a little over $800 million.

Most of the landowners in the Compass tracts have 20 acres or fewer with the largest being 59 acres on Pageland Lane.

The QTS tracts are divided into northern and southern zones. A court document indicated that the 534 acres under contract to QTS in the north were priced at $315,000 and the 342 acres in the south at $515,000 each. Using those numbers, QTS would pay nearly $345 million for its portion of the development.

Combining the QTS and Compass properties, well north of $1 billion in land sales is at stake in the rezoning.

Hundreds of thousands in campaign donations

For the past couple of years, those Democrats have been supported by a tsunami of campaign donations from real estate developers and data

Despite setbacks, Digital Gateway heads toward a vote

The Prince William Digital Gateway is heading for a final vote before the Prince William Board of County Supervisors despite significant setbacks in recent weeks.

In late October, the county’s professional planning staff recommended denial of the Digital Gateway, saying its rezoning applications lacked significant information about everything from building layout to the location of the extensive new electrical infrastructure needed to power the facilities. After an all-night hearing, the Prince William County Planning Commission voted Nov. 9 to recommend the project’s denial.

But that’s no guarantee the supervisors won’t approve the development. The board’s five Democratic supervisors — who are taking up controversial rezonings during the board’s lame-duck session — have demonstrated their willingness to approve massive data center projects despite overwhelming resident opposition.

In general, the Democratic supervisors say they see the explosive data center industry as a long-sought opportunity to expand the county’s commercial tax base.

The “comprehensive plan amendment” the Democratic supervisors approved late last year laid out their vision for the Digital Gateway corridor, which they contend could be a park-like development with hiking and equestrian trails weaving through 90-foottall concrete warehouses. Critics say that idea is far-fetched at best. center interests — though apparently none directly from Compass or QTS. Still, donations identified as coming from Digital Gateway supporters easily topped $200,000 over the past year, but that amount would be doubled by counting donations from those who support data centers in general.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and its Local 26, which have touted the jobs that will be created by the Digital Gateway, gave nearly $170,000 to the Democrats in 2023.

Of that money, more than one-third, $67,500, went to Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At-large, and $47,500 went to Supervisor Ken Boddye, D-Occoquan, who is often considered the swing vote on the board.

The NOVA Area Labor Federation gave Democrats $30,000, and the NOVA Building Industry Association threw in $46,000 more.

Scores of landowners in the Digital Gateway corridor gave small amounts to supervisor candidates, but a few gave big. Michael Garcia, a Pageland landowner and local residential and commercial developer, donated $16,500 to the five Democrats but spread his donations to Republicans, too. Jeff Mulhausen, who was active in assembling landowners to sell to Compass, gave $20,000 to the five Democrats in 2023.

Separately, Boddye and Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge; Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac; and Victor Angry, D-Neabsco together received $48,500 in campaign donations in October from other data center interests. The money came from a $590,000 fund put together by Del. Luke Torian, D-24th, who ran unopposed in the Nov. 7 election.

The source of Torian’s largesse included Pageland Lane resident Mary Ann Ghadban ($41,000), who initiated the gateway project, and Dominion Energy ($270,000), which makes a profit off the transmission of power it supplies to data centers.

Tax revenue uncertain, possibly in the hundreds of millions

Supervisors favoring data center development cite the tax benefits the facilities generate.

For instance, at a town hall in October, the three democrats in attendance, Angry, Bailey and Idris O’Connor, who lost his bid for supervisor in the Coles District, all cited the tax revenue as one

reason — if not the main reason — they wanted more data centers.

“So, do I believe in the Prince William Digital Gateway? I believe in a commercial tax base, and no one has taken the opportunity to do that but this board,” Bailey said.

But no one knows how much money the Digital Gateway will bring in, and one critic, a former NASA manager who has studied the numbers, thinks it will be a wash.

When the Digital Gateway was first proposed, those supporting the idea — mainly the landowners who have contracted to sell their land to data center operators — advertised that it would put $700 million into the county coffers each year at full build out.

Data centers are taxed on their equipment, known as “computers and peripherals,” their real estate and their building fixtures. The greatest tax stream comes from computer equipment, even though most counties allow for hefty depreciation on this equipment. Prince William’s depreciation schedule is 50% for the first year followed by further deductions to 35%, 25%, 15% and finally 5% over five years. In other words, by the fifth year, the computer servers are assessed at only 5% of their cost. Data centers used to replenish equipment by the fifth year, but some are now holding off longer.

In February 2022, Prince William County Deputy Finance Administrator Tim Leclerc estimated the development would generate $400 million a year when fully built out. At the time, he acknowledged that his estimates were based on a lot of assumptions.

“Quite frankly, none of us have enough information to value the tax revenue” from a notyet-built project, he said in a late 2022 interview.

Prince William County officials have not updated their tax revenue projections since then.

Already, it’s clear some of the assumptions were flawed. For instance, Leclerc’s estimate is based on the idea that the gateway will contain 27.6 million square feet of data center floor space.

That floor space supports the equipment that is taxed by the county. But the Compass and QTS rezoning applications only request to build up to 22.3 million square feet of floor space (10.7 million for QTS, 11.6 for Compass). That’s 20% less building space than Leclerc was using to calculate his estimate.

A projection of tax revenue prepared for Village Place Technology Park near Haymarket contains even lower estimates. That project was estimated by the developer to generate almost $70 million in equipment taxes and $27.2 million in real estate taxes on its four buildings over 10 years.

The Village Place Tech Park is about 1 million square feet, so, according to this analysis, each square foot would pay about $10 in taxes each year. Using those calculations, the Digital Gateway, if developed to the requested 22 million square feet, would generate $220 million per year in personal property and real estate taxes. That’s roughly half of the county’s estimate.

John Lyver, a critic of the Digital Gateway who is a retired NASA nuclear flight safety manager with a Ph.D. in computational physics, has taken a close look at the revenue estimates. He thinks Leclerc’s estimates are way too high and notes that government — county or state — will have to pay for new roads, road improvements, a new fire station and other infrastructure, which he estimates will cost $1.7 billion. In addition, he says, the county may want to buy the parkland that it promised would come with the gateway project, but which has so far been left out of the plans.

In Lyver’s projections, the gateway would generate less than $150 million annually when it is fully built. But subtracting for depreciation and the cost of infrastructure, the project makes no money for the county until after its 20th year, according to Lyver’s analysis.

Legal Notice NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA FOR REVISION OF A RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER U, NEW UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES, FOR THE RATE YEAR COMMENCING AUGUST 1, 2024 CASE NO. PUR-2023-00172 · Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider U. · In this case, Dominion has asked the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) to approve Rider U for the rate year beginning August 1, 2024, and ending July 31, 2025 (“Rate Year”). · For the Rate Year, Dominion requests a revenue requirement of $149.546 million, which would increase the monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per month by $2.18. · A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on April 17, 2024, at 10 a.m. · Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information.

On October 3, 2023, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed an application (“Application”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for an annual update of the Company’s rate adjustment clause, Rider U, pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6 and Rules 10 (20 VAC 5-204-10) and 60 (20 VAC 5-204-60) of the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Case Applications and Annual Informational Filings of Investor-Owned Electric Utilities (20 VAC 5-204-10 et seq.) (“Rate Case Rules”). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with its Strategic Undergrounding Program (“SUP”). Specifically, the Company seeks cost recovery associated with the previously approved Phase One, Phase Two, Phase Three, Phase Four, Phase Five, and Phase Six (collectively, “Previously Approved Phases”), and further requests Commission approval to recover costs associated with proposed Phase Seven of the SUP through Rider U, for the rate year commencing August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025 (“Rate Year”).

In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to extend the current rate year by an additional month. In the Company’s most recent application in Case No. PUR-202200089, the Commission approved Rider U for an April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024 rate year. On August 4, 2023, the Commission extended these Rider U rates until June 30, 2024. In this Application, the Company requests that the Commission further extend the existing rates until July 31, 2024 and approve the new rates for Rider U with an effective date of August 1, 2024.

Dominion states that proposed Phase Seven of the SUP is designed to convert approximately 383 miles of overhead tap lines to underground facilities at a capital investment of approximately $258 million. Dominion states that Phase Seven actual expenditures through July 31, 2023, are approximately $213 million, and projected expenditures for the period of August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024, are approximately $45 million. The Company states that, in this Application, it is requesting to recover costs of Phase Seven through Rider U for only those projects that will be completed prior to the beginning of the proposed Rate Year, August 1, 2024.

For the Rate Year beginning August 1, 2024, the Company is requesting recovery of a total revenue requirement of $71.409 million for the Previously Approved Phases, and a revenue requirement of $78.137 million for proposed Phase Seven, for a combined Rider U revenue requirement of $149.546 million.

If the proposed Rider U revenue requirement for the Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider U on August 1, 2024, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $2.18 compared to the current Rider U. Dominion indicates it has calculated the proposed Rider U rates in accordance with the same methodology as used for rates approved by the Commission in the most recent Rider U proceeding, Case No. PUR-2022-00089, with the only change being that the FERC account plant balances are, for this case, based on a 2022 end of period cost of service study.

The details of these and other proposals are set forth in the Company’s Application. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Company’s Application, testimony and supporting exhibits for the details of these proposals.

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

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this proceeding that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on the Application. On April 17, 2024, at 10 a.m., the Hearing Examiner will hold a telephonic portion of the hearing, for the purpose of receiving the testimony of public witnesses.

Prince William Times | December 7, 2023

Help me give our team a gift this holiday

Before I tell you the stories of a couple of local heroes, I want you to first picture in your mind the perfect holiday.

What would it look like in your home if everything was Hallmark-movie perfect between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day? I’m quite sure of a couple pieces of the picture in your mind right now. The first is that everyone you care about is gathered together, and the second is that their minds are at least temporarily free of worry and focused entirely on celebration and togetherness.

Today, I’m asking you to help me give that gift to some very deserving people in your community.

My plan is to not publish the print edition of the Prince William Times the last week of December so that our dedicated and hardworking team can have what, for them, is a very rare opportunity to live that holiday dream.

We will still cover the local news, and stories will appear online on our website and in our daily newsletter. But taking a week off from producing the print edition will allow our small team to receive the gift of unfettered time with family and friends.

Let me tell you why I think this

SCOTT ELLIOTT PUBLISHER

is important enough to ask our print readers to make this sacrifice by sharing a couple of examples of what moved me to this decision.

If you enjoy reading our print newspaper, whether you buy it at a local store or have it delivered to your mailbox, you have Nancy Keyser to thank.

Some of you reading this are smiling right now because you already know Nancy. She grew up here, and she’s worked at the company for 17 years.

She is known for her hearty laugh, and sometimes she wears some pretty outlandish glasses. You may be chuckling right now at something funny Nancy did or said last time she stopped at your workplace or your school.

Her primary role at the paper is “circulation director,” but her real title should be “newspaper delivery hero.”

For most of the last 200 years, newspapers like ours had their own printing presses. Then, they

Time to save our drinking water from too much salt The Occoquan Reservoir provides drinking water for more than 300,000 people in Prince William County. The reservoir, owned and managed by Fairfax Water, is the source of water for 70% of the county.

Our water is at a tipping point for use as drinking water; we have no other source to feed the growing need for water in the county. The No. 1 source of the problem is the unregulated use of salt by residents, the Virginia Department of Transportation and industry.

Micron, one of the largest private employers in the area, accounts for about 14% of the salt pouring into the reservoir. VDOT, through the use of brine and salting roads, accounts for nearly 26% of salt pollution. Poor management of the “resource protection area” bordering our waterways going back 25 years accounts for a significant and ongoing danger.

The Environmental Protection Agency advisory level for sodium in drinking water is 20 milligrams per liter for people with high blood pressure. Sodium levels in the reservoir are consistently above that level and on many days more than three times above the advisory level. The Occoquan Watershed Monitoring Laboratory located in Manassas has been studying the reservoir for the past 50 years and

sees a dramatic upward trend in sodium levels.

Wastewater flowing into the reservoir is treated by the Upper Occoquan Service Authority, which serves Fairfax and Prince Wiliam counties and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.

UOSA has no ability to mitigate sodium levels flowing in to UOSA or flowing out into the reservoir. A solution bandied about is a $1 billion reverse-osmosis process. The downside, in addition to the cost, is the process would produce massive amounts of wastewater and reduce available daily water by as much as 50 million gallons per day.

What needs to be done now: Eliminate road salting by VDOT and homeowners’ associations; enact legislation limiting industrial/ commercial salt in wastewater; and enforce RPA regulations by agreement or legal action to bring violators into compliance.

Failure to act will result in a drinking water crisis, and there is no drinking water alternative.

shifted to shared presses, usually fairly nearby. Today, there are fewer presses, and that necessitates longer hauls in trucks from more distant places. Our papers are printed each week in Lynchburg, which is almost two and a half hours away.

In order for your newspaper to arrive in your mailbox or at your local store on time, that truck leaves Lynchburg after midnight and arrives here around 3 a.m. Nancy meets that truck every week of the year. She makes sure the papers are sorted and ready for carriers who deliver them to stores and post offices before dawn.

When Nancy takes time off, she works around the truck’s arrival. It’s literally been years since she was able to take a full week off.

The same is true for Vincent Sales, our production manager.

Vincent plays many roles for us. He is our primary point person for the technical side of our website and he leads the page design and production work of the newspaper. When Vincent traveled out of the country earlier this year to visit family, we had to ask him to continue helping with page design. He took a computer, tapped into our system from overseas and helped us make the pa-

per nearly every day of his travels.

November was a very busy month for page design, as we had more pages than usual with the holidays and special sections. When I saw Vincent the Monday after Thanksgiving and asked him how his holiday weekend was, he said it was great because he finally had a chance to catch up on sleep.

These are just two examples.

Truly, all of the members of our team go above and beyond in heroic ways to make sure our readers are served. And they do it because they care deeply about our community and about each other.

So, I wanted to give them the gift of a holiday week where they are truly off, with no truck to meet and no pages to design. I hope you’ll forgive us if you find yourself missing the print edition the last week of December. But we will be back with a new paper in the first week of the new year.

And you can count on us every week of 2024 to look out for your interests, share the information you need to know and also bring you a little bit of joy each week.

Scott Elliott is the publisher of the Fauquier Times and Prince William Times.

Supervisors’ support for mega data center projects looks like pay to play If you’ve never heard the term “pay-for-play,” tune into the Prince William Board of County Supervisors meeting on Dec. 12 for a full tutorial. There you will see the result of brazen influence peddling sufficient to make your local government abandon all sense of reason.

The railroading of the Prince William Digital Gateway will be a case study in how to buy off ethically pliable public officials.

Do some advance reading on the Virginia Public Access Project website (www.vpap.org). It provides publicly reported campaign finance information. What you find there will explain the curious tone deafness of your Democratic supervisors.

Board Chair Ann Wheeler outspent Deshundra Jefferson $357,531 to $62,522 for the privilege of losing her June primary. Supervisor Kenny Boddye (D) spent $351,685 just in the Occoquan District. Supervisor Andrea Bailey’s $265,812 expenditure outpaced her opponent by nearly 30

to 1. Supervisor Victor Angry spent $181,262 while running unopposed.

And who financed these lopsided advantages? Wheeler raked in $55,000 from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, with Boddye right behind at $47,500.

Stanley Martin carpet-bombed all five Democratic supervisors with direct donations and even more from political action committees designed to obscure their origin.

And that’s just a couple of the big boys. Prince William Digital Gateway landowners chipped in almost a quarter million dollars in donations to ensure a vote that guarantees their anticipated payday.

What does this portend for fair consideration of the merits of this proposal? Do you really think the beneficiaries of such largesse are going to vote against their sponsors’ wishes?

LIBRARY/LIFESTYLES

What’s Hot: More new titles hit the libraries

By Kirk Johnson

Contributing Writer

New books keep getting written and published as fast as your library can get them to our patrons.

Here’s a sampling of new adult nonfiction titles coming soon to Prince William Public Libraries.

If you’re of a certain age and have spent most of your working life in traditional jobs, the notion of the “gig economy” where people work “side hustles” to make a living may seem daunting. Author and entrepreneur Chris Guillebeau is a creature of that mysterious new economy, and he makes his feelings about it clear in “Gonzo Capitalism.”

This is not a dispassionate analysis of the phenomenon. Guillebeau is all-in on the notion that the economy has changed in very disruptive ways, and he believes that young people must embrace the new rules to thrive.

While Guillebeau wants to radically rethink work and career, activist Jocelyn Simonson wants to challenge the system of mass incarceration from the ground up. In “Radical Acts of Justice,” she argues that relying on experts and politicians to change how the criminal justice system handles prisoners has been a mistake. She advocates for collective, community action to build a new consensus on what fighting crime and upholding law and justice should look like.

Uri Kaufman has spent two decades researchTEACHERS, from page 1 best the union could do.

“We were facing walking away at midnight without an agreement at all,” he said. “Because we knew we had pending unfair labor charges on wages, it made the most sense to set it aside.”

That’s because union leaders are holding out hope that the school board could be forced back to the negotiating table by an arbitrator, who will consider unfair labor practice charges from the union this month.

School Board Chairman Babur Lateef (At Large), said the district considered the entire package of what was bargained.

“We believe the school division worked in good faith in bargaining,” he said. “We’re doing the best we can on the division side. We really tried to listen and do what’s best for teachers.”

While the pay raise remained a

ing his new book, “Eighteen Days in October.”

This new history of the Yom Kippur War examines not just the military aspects of the short but influential conflict but also how the political and social aftermath shaped the Middle East of today.

Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russel D. Moore has written a book aimed at his fellow evangelicals. In “Losing Our Religion,” Moore examines what he sees as the troubled current reality of evangelical faith and challenges his fellow evangelicals to rethink how their churches engage with the rest of the world and each other. This book is sure to spark conversations and reflection among a diverse audience.

Scott Eyman’s new book, “Charlie Chaplin vs. America,” studies the famous actor’s legal and cultural struggles in the post-World War II era. Considering both his principled politics and his problematic personal life, this is a reminder that culture war politics aren’t as new as we sometimes think.

Legendary entertainer Barbra Streisand has finally released a memoir — at over 900 pages, “My Name is Barbra” hopefully has the scope to address at least some aspects of her life and career that any fan might want to know about. And for her critics, this is her chance to get her perspective on the record.

Investigative journalist Max Marshall got more than he bargained for when he began looking into what he thought was a drug dealing ring in an elite

heated debate, negotiators struck tentative agreements on a series of other issues, including: • New short-term disability pay that pays a sick or injured employee after 30 days at no cost to the employee.

• No increase in employee health care costs for three years.

• Pay for summer school and extended year teachers that equals their usual hourly pay.

• An increase in the pay teachers receive for taking on an extra class during the school day • An increase in the extra pay teachers receive for assisting with extracurricular activities — like band, orchestra and drama — and more teachers who perform those functions receiving pay.

Maggie Hansford, the teachers’ union president, said those were important gains both sides agreed to that were worth locking in. Disability

JEFFERSON, from page 1 that I won an uphill battle, but I can’t prevent these things.”

Current Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, who Jefferson defeated in the June primary, scheduled two of the largest and most controversial data center projects for votes before she leaves office at the end of the year.

Jefferson, 47 of Montclair, will replace Wheeler on Jan. 1. But so far, she’s the only Democrat opposed to opening land close to homes, schools and parks to data centers.

Aside from Wheeler, the other four Democratic supervisors — Victor Angry (Neabsco), Andrea Bailey (Potomac), Kenny Boddye (Occoquan) and Margaret Franklin (Woodbridge) — were all re-elected on Nov. 7 and will be returning for another four-year term. “(Devlin’s) not a decision I agree with,” Jefferson said. “There’s still a difference between me and the other Democrats on the board of county supervisors.”

Kirk Johnson is a manager in the Prince William Public Libraries Material Services Division.

pay, for example, should help teachers who are out of work for medical reasons, like surgery or childbirth, from running out of pay while they are in recovery.

“That was huge for our employees,” she said. “We did make some real achievements together, and we should both celebrate that. We weren’t willing to walk away from them.”

The union has filed five unfair labor practice charges against the school division and expects those charges to be heard by an arbitrator on Dec. 14. The charges claim the school division unfairly ruled some issues off the table and refused to engage in good faith discussions on others, including pay. Teachers have no plans to vote on the tentative agreements with the district until the arbitrator rules, probably in January.

If the arbitrator agrees that those issues are negotiable, it could result

The board’s Democratic majority approved Devlin Technology Park, a plan to build up to nine new data centers on land near several Bristow neighborhoods and Chris Yung Elementary School, in a 5-3 vote last week after a more than nine-hour meeting during which about 60 public speakers, mostly residents of nearby neighborhoods, expressed nearly unanimous opposition.

The few speakers voicing support for the data centers were members of local trade unions, some of which provided hefty donations to the Democratic supervisors.

Prior to the Devlin vote, Jefferson said she met with some of the current supervisors on the board to discuss “alternatives” to Devlin.

While Jefferson said she was not able to meet with every supervisor due to scheduling difficulties around the Thanksgiving holiday, she said some of the conversations felt like “a broken record.”

“I do have a difference of opinion, and the vote is not one I would have taken,” Jefferson said, referring to the Devlin vote.

in new negotiations. But the arbitrator also could also simply instruct the sides to include those issues in the next round of talks. The tentative deal allows talks on pay to be reopened each year of the three-year agreement.

Even when they allow bargaining, state law still gives school boards wide latitude to reject the teachers’ demands and limits their collective actions. Teachers cannot strike under state law, for example. And a school division can reject any contract demands and impose whatever pay and rules it prefers if negotiations fail.

Gay said it amounted to fighting with one hand for the union, but he was optimistic teachers would continue to make progress in future talks.

“You can fight with one hand behind your back if you swing your arm very hard,” he said.

Reach news@fauquier.com

Jefferson said she’s also struggling with the likelihood that the Prince William Digital Gateway, a plan to transform 2,100 acres of homes and small farms adjacent to the Manassas Battlefield National Park into a corridor of up to 37 large data centers, will likely pass by the same 5-3 party-line vote.

“I don’t know what can be done to mitigate these decisions, if anything,” Jefferson said.

If the Digital Gateway vote doesn’t happen on Dec. 12 and is pushed into the next year, Jefferson said she will vote no on the project and its three related rezonings.

Jefferson also said she will evaluate how residents “are feeling” about the decision after the vote and will work to make sure “projects like this don’t move forward” in the future.

“We need to look back at who we are as a county,” Jefferson said. “I understand the need for revenue, but we have to think about whether it makes sense for county residents.”

Another great Tigers’ season ends in state semis Brentsville ousted by Lafayette 17-7 in hard-fought battle in Nokesville

By Matthew Proctor Times Staff Writer

As Lafayette High quarterback Hayden Oleksy kneeled at the Rams’ 35-yard line to run out the clock in their 17-7 win over Brentsville on Saturday, the final moments in the glorious careers of the most decorated senior class in Tigers’ history ticked to an end.

Hosting the Class 3 semifinals in Nokesville for the first time, the Tigers’ (12-2) season ended as it had the previous two years on the road, one game short of playing for a state championship.

But losing a third straight state semifinal is not how Caleb Alexander, Trent Hayes, Nico Orlando, Langston White and the entire class of Brentsville seniors will be remembered. Winning 39 games and capturing three Class 3 Region B titles in a row, the departing Tigers will be defined as the winningest class to put on an orange and black striped helmet.

Head coach Loren White, who took over the program the year of their breakout 2021 campaign, fought back tears when asked how he’ll remember these Tigers.

“This senior class will always be special to me because this is the group that came in when I first got the job. They were here the long summers in the hot, makeshift weight room,” White said. “And then to see them grow and to see what they’ve done… this class is responsible for a lot of this stuff here, so I’m proud of them and will forever remember this group.”

Against an athletic Lafayette front, the Tigers’ offense struggled to move the ball all game long without quarterback Caleb Alexander, who missed his second consecutive game with a partially torn medial collateral ligament (MCL).

Freedom closing in on state title No. 2

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Charlottesville, here we come.

The impressive, record-setting, seemingly-impossible-to-contain Freedom-Woodbridge football team will play for its second consecutive Class 6 championship after blowing past visiting James Madison 55-14 in last Saturday’s semifinal.

The Eagles (13-0) face Richmond area power Highland Springs (13-1) for the title Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at the University of Virginia’s Scott Stadium.

Using its compelling array of weapons, Freedom scored early and often, gashing the Warhawks for six first half touchdowns to lead 41-7 at halftime.

Junior running back Jeff Overton Jr. scored four TDs on runs of 2, 48 and 14 and a 57-yard TD catch on a screen pass.

Wake Forest recruit Elijah Reid of Freedom-Woodbridge breaks through a gap against James Madison in last Saturday’s 55-14 win in the Class 6 semifinals.

Quarterback Tristan Evans-Trujillo ran for a 15-yard TD and tossed two TD passes to run his career mark to 121 and set a VHSL record, topping the 119 by Phillip Simms of Oscar Smith in 2010.

After Evans-Trujillo set the mark on a 6-yard crossing route to Aaron Duncan, the team gathered on the sideline, surrounded their senior quarterback and jumped up and down in joy.

The Eagles also executed a marvelous trick play as Evans-Trujillo dropped back and threw a backwards pass to Duncan, who fired a 48-yard TD strike to a wide-open Carleton Preston for a 26-0 lead.

Although the Eagles will be favored to repeat as state champs, Highland Springs is on an impressive run.

They beat Lake Braddock 35-10 in their state semifinal after eliminating Manchester 17-6 in the Region A final, Oscar Smith 28-7 in the region semis and Cosby 49-6 in the region quarters.

Highland Springs’ lone loss came to Maury 23-14 on Sept. 8.

A guide to home-staging for Santa (or buyers)

By Tyler Ross

Ross R eal Estate

Get ready, kids! It’s that time of the year when we need to make our homes super Santa-friendly.

We all know Santa Claus is on his way, checking his list of who’s been naughty and nice. So, let’s make sure our houses are all set to impress the big man himself and his helpful elves.

Plus, here’s a little secret: Santa’s elves are watching all year long, and they might have a say in whether you get gifts or a stocking full of coal. Now is the time to be on your best behavior!

Here are some super fun tips to make your home Santa- and sale-ready: Magical cleanup and decorating: Imagine Santa trying to wiggle down the chimney only to find a big mess in the living room! He might trip over toys, your shoes or even step on a Lego — ouch! So, let’s get cleaning and make our homes spic and span and put your things where they belong.

For bonus points, make Santa feel extra welcome by hanging up twinkling lights, holly and pretty decorations.

Outside wonderland: Santa’s first impression is the most important, right? So, make your house look extra special from the outside, too. Polish your mailbox numbers (we don’t want Santa to get lost); leave out a friendly

note; clean up the sticks in your yard; and hang a beautiful wreath on your front door to give it holiday charm.

Clear the path: Sometimes Santa doesn’t use the chimney; he likes to use the front door, too. So, let’s clear all the snow, leaves and dirt from our sidewalks and porches to make it easy for Santa. He and his reindeer need a clean landing area for their magical sleigh! It might help if you make Santa a “magic key” to hang on your doorknob; this would give Santa an easy way to get inside!

Yummy treats: Santa has a lot of houses to visit, and he might not

have time for a delicious, homecooked meal. So, let’s prepare a little snack tray with milk and cookies.

Add some healthy treats and definitely some carrots for the reindeer, too. It will also show Santa that you care about him and his reindeer.

Jolly tunes: This is the perfect time to play holiday music in your home. It will put Santa in a joyful mood as he works his holiday magic. Holiday music is great to listen to while you go through all your old toys and pick some out to donate to kids that aren’t as lucky as you.

Check all rooms: Santa and his

Tigers finish 12-2 TIGERS, from page 10 Tallying just 96 yard of total offense and picking up only five first downs, Brentsville trailed 7-0 for much of the game after allowing a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Olesky on Lafayette’s opening drive. The Tigers’ defense kept them alive as neither team would add another point throughout the remainder of the first half.

“They come out throwing different stuff at you out of the same set,” White said, referring to the Rams’ run-heavy offense that uses misdirection and counters to fool a defense. “We made adjustments on our half, some personnel, some just getting to the point and forcing everything to come back to (linebacker Langston White), and then that’s when we locked down and they couldn’t do anything.”

With Brentsville’s offense continuing to sputter in the third quarter after opening the half with a threeand-out, the Tigers needed a big play from their defense. It came promptly in the form of Tyler Owens’ interception along the right sideline at the Rams’ 22yard line. The Tigers scored six plays later to draw even at 7-7 with 1:01 remaining in the third quarter.

Quarterback Trent Hayes, filling in for the injured Alexander for the second game in a row, appeared to score on a three-yard draw, but fumbled forward just before crossing the goal line. Fortunately for the Tigers, tight end David Vonderhaar recovered the ball in the end zone, then kicked the extra point to tie the game.

But the Rams had an immediate answer as they scored the decisive touchdown on Nazeer Wolmart’s 1-yard run on the ensuing drive to take a 14-7 lead with 7:54 left in the fourth. Lafayette’s touchdowns came on bruising 16- and 11-play drives lasting at least five minutes each.

PHOTO BY TAVAN SMITH

Lafayette’s Nazeer Wolmart (middle) scored the game-winning touchdown on a 1-yard rush in the fourth quarter. Also pictured are Brentsville’s Wyatt Vonderhaar (No. 5) and Nico Orlando.

Running just seven plays that gained 10 or more yards, Lafayette coach Andy Linn said the ground-and-pound game can be a recipe for success in the playoffs.

“For the most part during the year, you’ll get plays that are a lot longer when you’re not playing as good (opponents). But when you get this far along and you’re playing real good teams every week, three-and-a-half (yards) is a great play,” Linn said.

Olesky added, “What we try to do is get those motions in, make them have no idea where that ball is, kind of Houdini it, hide that ball away, and

elves might sneak into different rooms, not just where your tree is.

So, make sure your bedroom is tidy; the bed is made; that toys are put away; and that the bathroom is sparkling clean. Clean your dishes after eating all your vegetables! Make sure you help your parents and siblings stay clean too by helping them tidy up after you’re done with your chores. Santa LOVES helpers!

And here’s a bonus tip to make Santa’s visit extra special: Magic moments: Keep the holiday spirit alive by spreading cheer, singing carols and being extra jolly. Be a good listener. Write sweet notes to friends and family, share the holiday magic and stay upbeat and cheerful throughout the season. Be kind to your friends and family. Santa will feel the joy the moment he steps into your home!

So, kids, let’s get our homes ready for Santa Claus! With these tips, and of course permission from your parents, you’ll make Santa and his elves feel right at home. Who knows, you might just earn some extra presents this year!

just keep punching them in the mouth.”

Olesky only completed 4-of-11 passes for 50 yards, but the Rams were consistently able to move the ball on the ground, rushing for 220 yards.

Brayden Smalls led Lafayette with 77 yards on nine carries, with Olesky rushing for 62 yards on 11 attempts and Wolmart 59 yards on 19 attempts.

Said White, “There’s constantly a guy moving, and that guy gets the ball then they’re going to come back with a counter. Every single formation they have they got a run play, a wide play out of it and a play action play, so you got to be ready for everything.”

The seven-point fourth quarter defect was too much for Brentsville to overcome as the Tigers could only manage one first down from then on.

Hayes completed just 4-of-14 passes for 62 yards with two interceptions, and the Rams’ defense was also stout against the run as Nico Orlando only managed 28 yards on 13 carries.

“They bring a good, aggressive front. We practiced it all week and they didn’t bring anything we haven’t seen,” White said. “They did a great job adjusting, stopping our run game and forcing us to pass. It was there, we just didn’t take advantage of it.”

Brentsville got the ball back at their own 14yard line with 3:09 to go, but Hayes’ incompletion on fourth-and-10 set up Clarke Canova’s back-breaking 24-yard field goal that give Lafayette a 17-7 lead with 1:47 left.

Lafayette (12-2), which won the state title in 2021, next faces Liberty Christian (13-0) in the Class 3 final on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Liberty University, while Brentsville says goodbye to a legendary group of seniors.

“The expectation’s set. This is our high right now. We just got to keep getting back to this,” White said. “Expect the next group come up and not knock on the door but kick it down.”
