Evone Mounier and her family loved to look at the endless trees from the back window of their Village Place home. Her girls, who attend nearby Tyler Elementary School, delighted in watching the wildlife emerge from the woods, especially deer, squirrels, rabbits and even foxes. But on Sept. 23, 2022, the bulldozers came and toppled all the trees. In November, the land was graded, and on May 22, the first concrete wall of a data center went up—70 feet high, 580 feet long and only 200 feet away. It filled them with despair. “I chose this house for the scenery. It was amazing,” Mounier said. “If I had known

close. “They say it’s 200 feet, but 200 feet isn’t much,” Dale said. “And then they plant these little trees, and it’s going to take years for them to mature. They don’t do anything for us.” They are not the only residents of Village Place, a cozy community of about 200 condos and townhomes just east of Haymarket, to be shocked by the rise of the mammoth slabs next door. “I’m moving next year away from here,” said Gloria Jones, whose condominium is even closer to the buildings than the Ericksons’. Like Mounier, she misses the deer that used to come out of the woods to their parking lot, where she fed them. “Where did they go?” she asks. “I’m not living next to this.” See VILLAGE PLACE, page 4

Jim Gehlsen, the Democratic candidate for the Brentsville supervisor, pleaded guilty to tax fraud in 2000 and spent a year in federal prison. More than 20 years later, he continues to have strong feelings about the IRS, saying he was “harassed” by the federal agency and that its actions “provoked” his crimes. In an interview with the Prince William Times, Gehlsen, 69, called the IRS “terrorists” and repeatedly said he was ”tortured and terrorized” by the federal agency. Gehlsen said he is

Proffers are legally binding stipulations that landowners agree to regarding setbacks, buffers and developer contributions to a project that requires a rezoning after negotiation with county staff and elected officials. “The chair does not possess the power to unilaterally ‘schedule’ a hearing on the rezoning application via an internal email,” Brower’s attorney wrote. “Rather, the Virginia Code, Prince William County ordinances and (supervisors’) rules of procedure set specific requirements that must be met before a rezoning application can be placed on the agenda for a public hearing.” At a Sept. 19 work session, the supervisors voted to schedule public hearings on all three PW Digital Gateway rezonings on Dec. 12. The Mitchells’ and Brower’s attorneys did not respond to a request for comment about the lawsuit. This is the second time QTS has taken the Browers to court over the family’s refusal to sign certain papers under their contract. The Browers contended they were not getting paid a fair amount for

their property. The contract sales prices were redacted in court documents. Supervisor Bob Weir, R-Gainesville, a PW Digital Gateway opponent whose district encompasses the proposed data center corridor, said Tuesday that removing the Browers’ and the Mitchells’ collective 175 acres from the assemblage “screws the whole plan because everything is tied together.” Weir said his understanding is that the ongoing lawsuit has not interfered with the county planning staff’s review of the rezoning. “I haven’t asked them, but I am assuming they are” continuing to work on the rezonings, he said. Lawyers for GWA, the Mitchells and Brower have made multiple court filings over the last month. Federal Judge Leonie M. Brinkema presided over a hearing in the case held on Sept. 25. Brinkema has not yet issued an opinion, according to court records. “Here’s the thing,” Weir said, “until the judge makes a decision, everything kind of sits in limbo.” Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@ fauquier.com HOW TO REACH US

2,133 acres under study for new data center corridor

Last month, data center developer GW Acquisition Co. LLC, an affiliate of QTS Realty Trust, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against both landowners: Pageland LLC, which is managed by Jon Sanders Brower, and Kimberly and David Mitchell. The Brower family owns about 141 acres along Pageland Lane, and the Mitchells about 34 acres along Sudley Road. Together, the 175 acres make up more than a third of the 470acre PW Digital Gateway North, according to court documents and the rezoning application. QTS is suing both families for breach of contract, asserting that the sale contracts remain enforceable and calling claims that they could be terminated “bogus,” according to court papers. The QTS lawsuit also charges that the Mitchells and the Browers breached their sale agreements when they allegedly failed to sign off on “proffers” that would allow the rezoning application for the PW Digital Gateway to move forward in Prince William County’s review process. QTS is also seeking $75,000 in damages against both sellers, court papers said. QTS is one of two data center companies that have filed three rezoning applications to develop up to 34 new data centers along the Pageland Lane corridor on 2,100 acres adjacent to Manassas National Battlefield Park. QTS is developing PW Digital Gateway north and south, two parcels of about 400 acres each. QTS has signed contracts with 12 landowners for the deal. The other company, Compass Datacenters, signed contracts with about 90 other Pageland Lane area landowners. Together, the three rezoning applications involve about 1,600 acres of the proposed 2,100-acre data center corridor. The commercial development is the largest in Prince William County in decades and has sparked sharp opposition from the Manassas battlefield and surrounding Gainesville residents. “It is undisputed that the Digital Gateway Project involves multiple sellers whose purchase agreements with GWA contain covenants dependent on the cooperation of all other sellers and on the timely hearing of

the rezoning applications. Therefore, the Mitchells’ and (Brower’s) refusal to cooperate does not just threaten the rezoning of their own properties, but necessarily risks the rezoning of all other properties and the entire Digital Gateway project,” GWA attorneys wrote in court pleadings. Both the Mitchells’ and Brower’s sale agreements include a contract term that says that if the Prince William Board of County Supervisors has not made a rezoning decision by Aug. 15 or has not scheduled a hearing to vote on the rezoning to occur before Dec. 30, then “either party may terminate” the sales agreement. Neither side disputes that the county supervisors did not make a rezoning decision by Aug. 15. But the QTS lawsuit asserts that a hearing to vote on the rezoning was indeed scheduled by Aug. 15, based solely on a July 30 email Board Chair Ann Wheeler sent to County Executive Chris Shorter in which she wrote that she was scheduling a Nov. 21 hearing on the QTS rezoning applications, according to court records. In her email, Wheeler wrote to Shorter: “I am scheduling these two QTS rezoning cases … to be heard by the Board of County Supervisors at our Nov. 21, 2023, meeting and they are now on that agenda.” She added, “Please note I may slightly amend this date at a future time depending on the vacation schedule of my colleagues and other issues that may arise.” In the email, Wheeler also referenced a July 28 email she received from QTS lawyer Antonio Calabrese in which he noted the county had passed its one-year limit on review time set by Virginia law and county ordinance. Calabrese requested that the county schedule hearings before the planning commission and supervisors “as soon as feasible and certainly by the end of the year,” according to court documents. In court pleadings, Brower and the Mitchells both argued that Wheeler’s July 30 email was not sufficient to schedule a hearing to vote on the rezoning as required by the terms of the sale agreement, and thus the deadline in the contract was not met. For the same reason, Brower and the Mitchells say they are no longer obligated to approve or submit the proffers demanded by GWA because their sale contracts are void.

Deshundra Jefferson

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson

Incumbents, Dems outraise challengers in supervisor races Developer tied to Bristow data centers gives Dems $35,000 By Shannon Clark Times Staff Writer

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, the Republican nominee for chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, is leading her Democratic opponent Deshundra Jefferson in fundraising, but both parties are about evenly split in campaign cash on hand as the Nov. 7 election draws closer. Donations from real estate developers and those with ties to data centers continue to play an outsized role in fundraising. Stanley Martin, the residential developer behind Devlin Technology Park, a controversial plan to build up to 11 data centers behind several Bristow neighborhoods, contributed a collective $35,000 to Jefferson and the boards’ four other Democratic incumbents over July and August, according to campaign finance reports detailed by the Virginia Public Access Project. Stanley Martin delivered $10,000 to Jefferson, her largest donation in July and August. Jefferson said she accepted the donation but told Stanley Martin she “opposes building data centers next to homes and schools.” “I understand why people are critical” of the donation, Jefferson told the Prince William Times. “I recognize the need as the metropolitan area grows, we need to grow as well, and we need to make housing available for all income levels. But I also want to be clear that ... whatever housing and whatever we build, the new developments are compatible with existing communities.” Jefferson raised $155,161 since the beginning of the year, including $84,597 in July and August. Lawson has received donations from data center interests in the past but said she lately has “been clear on where I stand on data centers, and my campaign filings won’t be calling that into question.” “My campaign’s support comes from those who believe in my overall vision for the county, not by the data center developers or the home building industry looking to turn a profit on the backs of Prince William residents,” Lawson told The Prince William Times. Lawson collected $337,589 in campaign donations since Jan. 1 with $169,090 tallied between July 1 and Aug. 31. Lawson’s latest donations

include $121,650 from individuals in the real estate and construction industries, with her largest donation being an in-kind gift of $67,200 for rent from the Rappaport Company, a retail real estate company that owns Bull Run Plaza in Manassas, according to their website. Lawson has more cash on hand than Jefferson with about $108,000 in the bank compared to Jefferson’s $74,500. Across all eight magisterial districts, the Republican incumbents and candidates in the western Prince William County’s Gainesville, Brentsville and Coles districts collected more campaign cash than their Democratic opponents. The Democratic incumbents collected more money than their Republican challengers in the eastern districts of Neabsco, Occoquan, Potomac and Woodbridge. Collectively, the seven Democratic candidates had slightly more cash on hand as of Aug. 31 with about $386,000 compared to the Republicans’ $327,000, according to VPAP. All eight seats on the board are up for reelection. Democrats currently hold a 5-3 majority.

Boddye outraises Justice in Occoquan

In the Occoquan District, which is considered the most competitive race and could shift the partisan lean of the county board, incumbent Supervisor Kenny Boddye (D) is outraising his Republican opponent Karla Justice and has more cash on hand. Boddye raised $71,439 in July and August, while Justice raised $52,055. Boddye’s donations included about $20,000 from donors tied to the data center industry or their supporters. Boddye’s largest donation of $10,000 came from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a union that has voiced their support for the Prince William Digital Gateway and often donates to candidates who support it. The PW Digital Gateway is a controversial plan to allow 28 to 34 data centers on 2,100 acres near the Manassas battlefield. Boddye also received a $5,000 donation from Stanley Martin Homes and $5,000 from Coalition for a Brighter PWC, a political action committee launched by a PW Digital Gateway landowner.

The giant data centers next door

VILLAGE PLACE, from page 1

In a county where some data centers have developed their own particular notorieties—for blocking sunsets, for their noise, for their electricity demands— the Village Place Technology Park stands out. Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, one of three supervisors to vote against its approval, called the sight of it “gut wrenching” in a recent interview. Kathy Kulick, president of a local association of homeowners’ associations and part of a group trying to write tighter data center standards, called Village Place “the poster child of improper land-use planning.” “We’re kind of a guinea pig on how close you can put a data center to residences,” said Ari Govoni-Young, a member of the Village Place homeowners’ association. How the project was approved — with little public opposition, little skepticism from county officials and the acquiescence of the homeowners’ association — is a rich tale. The stew includes apparent misrepresentations or misunderstandings, an agreeable planning office and resident apathy amid the COVID epidemic. Pointedly, the record shows that key decision-makers mainly fretted about the routing of power lines to the project and missed the elephant in the room—the sheer size of the buildings. “Everybody comments on the shock value of those buildings and their out-of-character nature,” Lawson said last week.

Earlier plans fell apart

Since 2002, there had been plans to expand Village Place with additional housing and a small shopping district on the vacant 45.5 acres to the east. Residents who moved in 20 years ago said they looked forward to being able to walk to shopping from their back doors. But it never happened. The first sign that something new was afoot came on June 26, 2020, when a company called CTP-I LLC filed a set of rezoning applications with the Prince William County planning office. (CTP-I appears to be affiliated with Black Chamber Partners LLC, which signed a non-disclosure agreement with county officials regarding the project 14 months later. Black Chamber also owns land nearby slated for the John Marshall Commons Technology Park beside Tyler Elementary and Pace West schools) In its filings, CTP-I argued that the shopping and housing development next to Village Place was never going to happen. It proposed a four-building data center campus, the Village Place Technology Park, which would need rezoning and special use permits. As is standard practice, county officials in various departments commented on the plans, and the developer began to make changes. County planners objected to the 50-foot treed buffers, and the developer offered to make them 80 to 120 feet instead. Setbacks were increased to 200 feet from John Marshall Highway and 190 feet from the closest residence. The watershed management office objected to 33 especially mature and beautiful trees being cut down as the forest was toppled. The developer agreed to preserve two wooded acres on the northwest corner that residents could use as a small park. During late 2020, as they refined the plans during COVID lockdowns, the developer’s agents held two Zoom meetings with residents. Govoni-Young, who was not on the homeowners’ association board at the time, recalls attending meetings in September and November. She said they were lightly attended. Some residents contacted by the Prince William Times said they didn’t know about the meetings, but the developer said all residents were invited. “We knew,” said Govoni-Young. She said residents who did not attend apparently chose to

At least, she said, the homeowners’ association was able to get some concessions from the developer, including $380,000 for the park or to plant more trees. “Originally, they were gonna have it right on top of us, and there was a lot of push back. And so, I guess you could say they kind of worked with us. That at least it wasn’t directly on top of us as much.”

Rezoning approved despite concerns

Three weeks later, on April 21, 2021, the planning commission met to consider the development. Their representative, Sherman Patrick of Compton & Duley of Woodbridge, accompanied by an engineer, spoke for 30 minutes. He said berms would be planted with evergreen and deciduous trees to hide most of the building facades from view—at worst, 25% to 30% of the future data centers would be seen from John Marshall Highway. From the residences, he said, “there would be additional visibility of the building but still very much limited.” Sherman said that the project would provide 200 permanent jobs averaging $125,000 a year. He said the homeowners’ association was behind the project: “You have before you this evening, a letter from their attorney representing their support for this proposal,” he said. Most of the commissioners’ questions were about power transmission to the site, as they were very wary of bringing high-power lines through Haymarket eastward. They did not ask about how the buildings would look from residents’ balconies, nor did they question the promise of high-paying jobs. One commissioner said of the applicant’s team, “They are straight shooters, and they know their stuff.” Meika Daus, the county planner for the project, cited “landscape buffers, berms, screen walls and architectural enhancements to limit adverse impact.” Of the design elements, she said, “Those are good things.” Her office recommended approval.

Five residents spoke, though none from Village Place. Rhonda Reese, who lives about a half-mile west of the community, said the developer’s plans showed that much of the buildings would be seen from residents’ windows. “I don’t want a big, massive structure there,” she said. “It doesn’t fit there. You will see it every day.” A Bristow resident called the buildings “monolithic” and said they were “not architecturally consistent” with Village Place. Chris Coon, Haymarket town manager, said his town officials had concerns about proximity to schools, transmission lines and benefits to the town. “If you cannot say it will benefit the town of Haymarket, vote no,” he told the commissioners. The planning commission voted 6-2 to recommend approval. On June 15, 2021, the county board of supervisors met in what was largely a repeat of the planning meeting. Patrick said the campus cooling system would be very quiet. He said the complex would generate $111.7 million in real estate and personal property taxes over 10 years. The Village Place homeowners’ association would get $380,000 for parks and trees. A security guard would take noise complaints at any time. Daus noted Haymarket’s disapproval but said her office recommended voting for the project. A Village Place HOA attorney had sent a letter of support, she said. During the meeting, Lawson said she read the HOA letter and would not call it a letter of support. “I think it’s a stretch to call it an approval letter,” she told Daus. “It’s more like an agreement, like, ‘Okay, if this land gets rezoned, this is what you’re gonna do for us.’ It’s not … ‘We definitely want this project approved.’” Former supervisor Peter Candland, who represented Village Place, said he had received more than 340 emails against the project. “I don’t want anyone to think, ‘I’m going to support this because the community supports it.’ That is not what I’ve seen,” he said. He said he had consulted topographical maps and could see the data center was going to be built on elevated land, so it would tower 50 feet over the roofs of neighbors and Tyler Elementary school. “This will be the tallest building in the area,” Candland said.

School leaders say union raise demand is too costly, leading to impasse By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

Saying the cost would result in steep cuts to school division programs, the Prince William County school division leaders have told the teachers union they cannot grant the teachers’ union request for 17% raises. Teachers’ union leaders, meanwhile, say they will not back down, citing similar raises granted to Prince William County police officers and firefighters this year. As a result, the two sides are heading to mediation. The impasse was called after the teachers’ union rejected the school division’s counter proposal for 5% and 9% raises, according to Jerod Gay, a Prince William Education Association negotiator. Gay said the union believes it’s time for the district to help teachers make up ground after years of falling behind on pay. “They failed to address the lagging pay for 15 years,” Gay said. “We failed to close this gap. (The school division’s) data half makes the union’s case for us.”

The school division’s recent counterproposal offers 5% raises next school year for most teachers — about four out of five — and 9% raises for a smaller group of more experienced teachers in salary steps 12 to 17, Gay said. The school division statement shows the teachers’ requests, which includes 17% raises as well as longevity bonuses, would cost more than $364 million – about one third of the school division’s salary budget. The data also show an average salary raise for teachers of 17.8% over the past three years, with actual rates varying depending on teachers’ years of experience and whether they have a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Gay said he is unsure whether the school division’s data about the cost of the 17% raise is accurate. But even if teacher pay has risen by 30% over the past five years, as School Board Chair Babur Lateef has said, the school division is still the second lowest for average pay in Northern Virginia and has not kept pace with other similarly sized

Brentsville supervisor candidate has past conviction for tax fraud FRAUD, from page 1 Gehlsen said he knew his 1999 conviction and subsequent prison time might be an issue in his campaign but did not tell the leaders of the Prince William Democratic Committee about it until contacted by the Prince William Times. Talking about his conviction two decades later is “very painful,” Gehlsen said. “We’ve already lived it, and now we have to relive it. But we’ll just move forward,” he said. Gehlsen owns Evergreen Acres, Prince William County’s last Christmas tree farm, and with his wife, Jean Gehlsen, also operates Cedar Run Brewery. The couple have lived in Nokesville for 43 years and have five adult children. Gehlsen said the only lesson he learned from going to prison was “how to deal with terrorists.” Both Tonya James, the chair of the county Democratic committee, and Sam Chisholm, the chair of the Brentsville Democratic Committee, declined to comment on Gehlsen’s conviction.

Gehlsen’s tax fraud case

Gehlsen owned Creative Contracting, a masonry business located in Nokesville, with a partner from 1984 through 1996. Gehlsen and his partner falsified the business tax returns for the years 1990 through 1995 by reporting less income than the partnership actually earned, according to federal court documents. To do this, Gehlsen and his partner diverted partnership income into their personal bank accounts, paid personal expenses using partnership funds and reduced the amount of gross income reported on the partnership tax return, court documents said. Gehlsen and his partner kept two different ledgers for the business, one for true business expenses and another for personal expenditures, according to court records. Because the underreported partnership income passed through to his personal tax returns, Gehlsen knew that his personal tax returns would also be fraudulent, court papers said. In 1994, Gehlsen reported only $69,204 in income from Creative Contracting on his personal tax return, when the true partnership income was $153,085, according to court documents. The partnership was dissolved in 1996. Gehlsen continued to operate the business on his own for sev-

school districts, Gay said. “Even if you take the data at face value, with inflation, (that) 30% quickly gets eaten up,” Gay said. “With all the extra costs, staff have been unable to keep their heads above water.” Katie Jefferson, the union’s middle school director, told school board members at their Sept. 20 meeting that they have failed to support the teachers. “The silence and lack of support has been deafening,” Jefferson said. “Almost 12 months later, education and support staff are still facing the same problems with the same people sitting in front of us. But it doesn’t have to be that way.” Yvette Martinez, another union member, cited many other complaints that teachers and staff have made against the school division, including the new regulation that requires teachers to teach classes remotely on days when inclement weather prevents in school instruction or “Code Orange” days. “If we fail to come together again, we consent to virtual Code Orange days being the norm, ‘other duties as

eral years. Court records are unclear on whether the partner was charged for his part in the tax fraud. As part of Gehlsen’s plea agreement, he paid $202,488, the full amount of the criminal tax loss, as restitution to the IRS, according to court records. Gehlsen was sentenced to serve a year in federal prison and a year of supervised probation. Gehlsen served his time in a medium security prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, according to court documents.

Gehlsen says IRS ‘provoked’ his crime

Facing prison time in 1999, Gehlsen asked the court to consider home confinement or probation arguing he had “been the victim of constant badgering from the IRS from as early as 1984” that amounted to “provocation.” But he also accepted responsibility for his crimes, saying “inept, threatening and hostile behavior by the IRS does not give license to under reporting income,” according to court documents. Jean Gehlsen wrote in a letter to the court that her husband tried to resolve the matter through more than 30 letters and 50 phone calls to the IRS over the years, but the IRS would not relent. She said that eventually the IRS executed a search warrant at their home at gunpoint on Nov. 7, 1997. “My children will forever remember having armed agents in their home, getting dressed at gunpoint, being rounded up like cattle, only to have all of their personal possessions examined and videotaped,” she wrote in a letter to the judge. Gehlsen wrote that she had not known about her husband’s tax fraud but “given this background of obvious repeated provocation on the part of the IRS … I understand.” The IRS denied engaging “in an extended course of harassment of Mr. Gehlsen,” and said it had not sent repeated seizure notices as Gehlsen claimed, court papers said. “It may be appropriate for the court to question Mr. Gehlsen’s acceptance of responsibility if he persists in claiming that it is really the treatment from the IRS that caused him to cheat on his taxes every year from 1990 through 1995,” the IRS wrote in court sentencing papers.

Gehlsen sues the IRS

Soon after getting out of prison, Gehlsen unsuccessfully sued the IRS, accusing the agency of terrorism and criminal acts including conspiracy, filing false statements, destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice.

assigned’ is the norm, working beyond our contract hours is the norm, 2% pay increases ... the only way to see the change we asked for is to let our voices be heard,” Martinez said. Prince William County schools’ salaries still lag behind those paid in Loudoun County, which is the Northern Virginia school division closest in size to Prince William County. In Prince William, the annual salary for an entry-level teacher with a bachelor’s degree is $53,570, while the salary for a new teacher with a master’s degree is $59,570. In Loudoun, entry-level teachers with a bachelor’s degree make $55,889, while new teachers with master’s degrees make $61,659, according to the school divisions’ websites. The differences are similar for teachers with 10 years’ experience. In Prince William, a teacher with 10 years’ experience makes $65,130 with a bachelor’s degree and $71,130 with a master’s degree. In Loudoun, those teachers make $68,512 with a bachelor’s degree and $74,473 with a master’s degree. Reach Anya Sczerzenie at asczerzenie@fauquier.com

point” in appealing because “the judge, the U.S. attorney and whoever reviewed it, whoever’s involved, is guilty of conspiracy. Conspiracy to engage in terrorism. Because if you allow it and permit it, then you’re conspiring. And conspiring is worse than engaging in terrorism.” Gehlsen also said he is writing a book on how to deal with the IRS. Gehlsen said he considered himself a political independent all his life and had never been “a party line voter.” He said he was first inspired to join the Democratic Party on Jan. 6, 2021, as a result of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He said he was angered by the actions of his congressman at the time, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1st, and others who voted against certifying the 2020 presidential results. Gehlsen had his right to vote restored in 2014. In Virginia, convicted felons have to file an application with the state to regain the right to vote. He filed paperwork in 2021 to challenge Wittman as a Democrat but pulled out of the race because he didn’t think he could continue running his businesses while also serving in Congress. Gehlsen said he joined the Prince William County Democratic Committee about a year ago and began considering a run for supervisor in March when he learned that Supervisor Jeanine Lawson (R) was leaving her seat in a bid for chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. The construction of large data centers in the county to support the internet is among his top concerns, including where they are placed and how they are taxed. He also opposes the county’s recently adopted 4% meals tax. “While we’re forgoing tens of millions of dollars in data center taxes, they throw a 4% meals tax on us and still manage to call ourselves a business-friendly county. How does that work?” Gehlsen said. If elected, Gehlsen said he would work to restructure the computer equipment tax on data centers that allows businesses to depreciate their computer assets nearly 90% over five years. He also said he will “roll up his sleeves” and dig in to investigate how the county is taxing because residents have complained to him about county taxes while campaigning. Fixing problems doesn’t always happen along party lines, especially on the local level, he said. “I plan to collaborate a lot with the Republicans” on the board, he said. “I’m a different kind of Democrat. You’ll see a big difference with me,” Gehlsen said. Reach Cher Muzyk at cmuzyk@fauquier.com

Police: Special ed teacher charged after 11-year-old is assaulted at school Staff Reports Beville Middle School Principal Tim Keenan said he was both “shocked and disappointed” by allegations that a special education teacher at the school assaulted an 11-year-old student in the school’s cafeteria. Keenan shared the news of the teacher’s arrest last week in a note home to Beville Middle School parents. Beville is located on Dale Boulevard in Dale City and has an enrollment of about 1,100 sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. “This is not reflective of our out-

standing school and our hard-working staff who are committed to our students and community,” Keenan wrote. Theresa White, a special education teacher at Beville Middle, is facing assault and battery charges after a student was grabbed by the neck in the school’s cafeteria, according to a Monday, Oct. 2 news release. The police investigation into the incident began on Thursday, Sept. 28 when a school resource officer was notified of an alleged assault by a teacher against a student.

Supervisor Yesli Vega, R, raised about $62,000 during July and August. She accepted $3,000 in donations from Robin Garcia, who owns land in the PW Digital Gateway corridor. Vega also received $10,000 from Spirit of Virginia, Governor Glenn Youngkin’s political action committee.

the investigation determined the student, an 11-year-old boy, and a teacher were in the cafeteria when the teacher grabbed the student’s neck during an altercation, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County Police Department spokeswoman. The student went to the school nurse for treatment of minor injuries, Carr said in a news release. White, 61, of Woodbridge, was arrested and charged with assault and battery. White was released on a summons ahead of a court hearing, the release said.

White has been employed by Prince William County schools since 2021. She has been placed on administrative leave as the investigation continues, according to Meghan Silas, a school division spokeswoman. In his note to families, Keenan asked parents to talk with their students and to encourage them to tell an adult if they ever feel unsafe at school. “Should they ever feel unsafe at school or witness any concerning event, they should report it to you or a trusted adult as soon as possible,” Keenan’s note said.

The giant data centers next door VILLAGE PLACE, from page 4 Once again, like the planning commission, most of the supervisors’ concerns were over transmission lines. The issue was defused, however, when the developer promised not to build if transmission lines had to come from Haymarket. Nine citizens spoke in opposition. Karen Sheehan, a Gainesville resident and a data center opponent, said data centers are completely incompatible with the historic town of Haymarket. “The fact is that 70-foot, six-story-tall data center buildings in that location are absolutely ridiculous,” she said. She also questioned the assertions that the complex would provide 200 full-time jobs averaging $125,000 each. She said she had managed a data center for Time Warner Cable Inc., and they had three full-time employees, with the rest on call from contractors. “At best, those four 70-foot-tall buildings may have 50 full time employees,” she said. When the vote was taken, supervisors Lawson, Candland and Yesli Vega, R-Coles, voted no. Supervisors Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan; Victor Angry, D-Neabsco; Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge; Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac; and Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, voted to approve. The three who voted against all cited power line concerns. The “ayes”

listed a variety of reasons. Franklin said she was impressed by the promise of 200 jobs for locals at $125,000 each. And the plan for buffers screening the buildings from view, she said, was “one of the best I’ve seen.” Boddye, however, appears to be having buyer’s remorse. In an June interview after the walls went up, he said the result he saw was not what he was expecting. “That’s not exactly what they advertised to us when they brought it before the board. They advertised a lot more robust buffers (and) much higher trees and shrubs than (what) you see,” Boddye said. Boddye said Village Place is an example of the need for county officials to rewrite data center zoning rules. “To me, we have to do a much

better job at really sharpening our pencils, when we talk about buffers, how robust they are and look at elevations especially.” But Boddye also said he voted in favor of the Village Place rezoning because he was assured by the developer that the community was OK with the project. “On the night of the hearing, we were given the impression, including by a letter from the community there, that they were comfortable with it,” Boddye said. “The developer told us that they had worked with the community there to carve out that pocket park and put in enough buffers that the community was comfortable with it. That’s the information we had at the time. That’s what we voted for.” Gainesville Supervisor Bob Weir

was not yet in office when the Village Place Technology Park was approved. Instead, he was one of the few residents who spoke out at the county board meeting, urging the board to refuse the plan mostly because he feared it would require more overhead power lines. Now that he’s a supervisor, Weir said he checked with county inspectors and was assured that the builders are following county guidelines and the promises the developer made in its proffers. Still, Weir described the buildings as a “horror.” “The board let the existing residents down in a manner that’s just unfathomable,” Weir said. Jill Palermo contributed to this report.

Despite going down on this play, Brentsville quarterback Caleb Alexander had another solid game, throwing a TD pass and guiding his offense down the field efficiently.

Senior Nico Orlando and the rampaging Brentsville Tigers recorded their fourth win over a Class 4 opponent, coming from behind to beat Liberty 22-11 in Nokesville last week. The Tigers (5-1) visit Warren County (1-4) on Friday.

Orlando’s interception and two TD runs power Brentsville past Liberty 22-11 By Jack Parry

BRENTSVILLE’S NEXT GAME: Friday at Warren County (1-4), 7 p.m.

Special to the Times

Brentsville needed someone to make plays. Enter Birthday Boy. Senior Nico Orlando celebrated his 18th birthday with an interception and go-ahead touchdown run in Friday’s 22-11 football win over visiting Liberty. Orlando’s signature plays turned around a game that appeared to be trending Liberty’s way. With the Eagles driving again after a 75-yard touchdown drive had put them ahead 11-8, Brentsville pressured Liberty quarterback Austin Mawyer, who scrambled to the left and tried to find a receiver deep. Orlando tracked the looping pass and picked it off, running it back to Liberty’s 37-yard line. Two plays later, Orlando burst through the line and turned on the jets up the left side for a 28-yard TD for a 14-11 lead the Tigers never relinquished. “It comes to the end of the day, No. 4 (Orlando) wants to be back there with the rock. And he called for it and you know, [the] birthday boy got loose,” said Brentsville coach Loren White, whose Tigers improved to 5-1 with their third straight win over Liberty. “I thought I was going to run into the ref,” Orlando said of his TD. “I saw a little cut back, I had one-on-one with the safety, and I made a play.” Orlando finished with 143 yards rushing on 23 carries and two TDs, with over 100 of his yards in the second half. He is one of Prince William County’s leading rushers with 548 yards this season. Brentsville star quarterback Caleb Alexander, who completed 8-of-21 passes, was one of Orlando’s many fans. “Some of us had a down game to-

day, and Nico stepped up big, my O-line stepped up big,” he said. “They all stepped up big for me when I needed it, and I needed it.” It was a damaging loss for Liberty, which dropped to 3-3 heading into Friday’s home game with Millbrook (4-1). Eagle coach Kevin Odlum’s team came in banged up with multiple starters on the offensive line not suiting up. “I’m not one to make excuses, but reality is reality, and we’re kind of racked with injuries,” said Odlum. After losing to Sherando 35-0 on Sept. 22, Liberty’s offense struggled for the second straight week, especially on the ground, with running backs Dre Booth and Landon Hirmer combining for 19 yards rushing on 10 carries. Mawyer completed 13-of-30 passes for 130 yards and threw three interceptions. Brentsville’s defense put pressure on Mawyer, sacking him six times, including three times by Tiger linebacker James Vaughn. Both defenses started the game on point. The Eagles stopped the Tigers on fourth down on the game’s first drive. Brentsville then thwarted Liberty near the goal line as Aden Peters hit a 13-yard field goal for a 3-0 Eagle lead with 6:38 left in the first quarter. Late in the first half, the Tigers surged ahead 8-3 as Alexander held the ball for a second before hitting Trent Hayes for a 20-yard TD. “I saw one-on-one with my guy Trent, and the DB had his back turned, so I was like I just gotta give him a shot,” said Alexander, who had a 2-point conversion run after his TD throw.

Brentsville golf squad advances to Class 3 state meet By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The Brentsville District High golf team is headed to next week’s Class 3 state golf tournament. The veteran Tigers performed well under pressure and in the rain at the Region B meet on Sept. 26 at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club in Front Royal, shooting 308 to tie Goochland for first place. Although Goochland beat Brentsville in a playoff for the region title, both squads moved on to the state meet Monday, Oct. 9 at Williamsburg National Golf Club. Brentsville’s top four were senior Addison Butler, who shot 73 and placed second; senior Jack Cundiff with a 77, senior Alex Bae at 78 and junior Luke Townsend with an 80. Senior Bryson Cheney and junior David Moffett each shot 90. “I am so proud of this team. Golf is a fun and frustrating game and Tues-

The state meet is Monday at Williamsburg National Golf Club. day’s rainy weather didn’t bother our team,” said coach Gina Butler. “They grinded and came in with great scores.”

Tigers defeat Liberty 22-11 TIGERS, from page 8 The Eagles opened the third quarter with a decisive drive by Mawyer, who completed 6-of-8 passes for 52 yards, then capped it by dashing down the left sideline for a 16-yard rushing TD. Andrew Ryman’s 2-point conversion reception put the Eagles’ up 11-8 with 6:18 to go in the third quarter. “We wanted to set a statement,” Mawyer said. Liberty tried to add to the lead, but Orlando denied it with his interception and TD as the Tigers

Butler was pleased with her daughter Addison’s clutch round. “Addison came in low and really

set her team up for a chance. Jack and Alex stayed steady keeping our hopes alive,” she said. A key to victory was Alexander, whose 80 gave the Tigers the fourth key score they needed to make their third state appearance in six years. “When Luke made his way to the 18th fairway, we knew that he was having his best round and had a chance to break 80. When Luke sunk his par putt, we celebrated because he punched our ticket to the state tournament. “This team has been working hard and improving each week and they showed up when it mattered most ,” the coach said.

forged ahead 14-11. After falling behind, Liberty suffered two interceptions and had their last series end on downs. Following a crucial Liberty 15-yard penalty on a Tiger punt, the Tigers capped the scoring on Orlando’s 8-yard TD run with 6:45 left, making it 22-11 after Tyler Owens’ 2-point conversion reception. Liberty got the ball back on the 50, but the offense faltered again. To close out the game, the Tigers handed the ball off to Orlando five straight times for 44 yards. “I’m gonna buy a scratch-off. I’m winning the lotto tonight,” Orlando quipped after his big night. ®

Pros and cons of metal roofs for your home By Carmen Rivera

State Farm Insurance

Whether you’re putting a roof on a new home, or your existing roof requires a total makeover, there are many materials available. But no matter what roof style you have, metal roofs can be an attractive option because of their longevity, minimal maintenance and energy efficiency. Material choices include steel (galvanized, galvalume or weathering), aluminum, copper, zinc and tin. Product types are vertical seam, pre-formed panels and granular coated panels. Style choices allow you to have the look of shingles, slate, tile, shakes or vertical panels. Make sure your metal roofing product is tested, labeled and listed with a testing organization such as UL, FM Approvals or Intertek to meet rigorous wind, fire and impact-resistance rating requirements. Please also remember that installation can vary from geographic location, manufacturer guidelines and as a result of local building code requirements.

Advantages of metal roofs

Metal roofs offer many benefits, including: • Longevity: Metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years, depending on the material. Traditional asphalt roofing materials have an estimated life expectancy of roughly 12 to 20 years. • Durability: If installed correctly, some metal roofs can sustain wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour, will not corrode or crack and may be impact-resistant (depending on which product you choose). In addition, metal roofs don’t need the periodic costly maintenance that other roofing materials often require. However, they should be inspected periodically to make sure no repairs are required. • Safety: Metal roofs will not spark and ignite into flames during a wildfire or lightning strike. • Energy efficiency: Metal roofs reflect the sun’s UV and infrared light rays that contribute to roof surface radiant heat, which can result in a 10% to CALENDAR, from page 7 All You Can Eat Crab Feast at Tin Cannon: Tin Cannon Brewing, 7679 Limestone Drive, Gainesville. 1 to 4 p.m. Tickets available at: https://www.eventbrite. com/e/crab-feast-with-tin-cannon-brewingtickets-694905008587.

COURTESY

Metal roofs can be a good choice because of their longevity and energy efficiency. But as with any material, there are some disadvantages as well. 25% reduction in cooling costs. • Environmentally friendly: Metal roofs not only have 25% to 95% recycled content, depending on the material used, but are also 100% recyclable at the end of their life as a roof. In contrast, most shingle tear-off waste ends up as part of the building-related waste stream — up to 20 billion pounds per year.

Disadvantages of metal roofs

Despite their many advantages, metal roofs have some potential drawbacks. • Affordability: Metal roofs can be as much as two or three times more expensive than other roofing materials. While the life of a metal roof is much longer, investing in a metal roof only makes sense if you plan to stay in your home long enough to enjoy the cost benefits. • Noisiness: Metal roofs may be more noisy during a heavy rain or hailstorm than other products depending on the type of decking used during installation (spaced or solid). Adding more attic insulation can sometimes solve this problem, but that may increase costs. • Expansion, contraction and fasteners: Metal roofing material assemblies that are at-

tached as large panels are designed to expand and contract as they warm and cool. However, both exposed and concealed fasteners have varying lifespans. Depending on the climate, neoprene washers and the screws used during installation may degrade and become dislodged over time. • Inconsistency of color match: If a repair is required or a home extension is added years later, it may be difficult to find an exact match to the existing metal. • Performance: If water accumulates anywhere on the roof because of poor-quality installation or repair, it can eventually cause serious damage. Lowgrade metals may also be thinner gauge and less durable. Some metals rust in certain climates or dent more easily than others during hailstorms or installation.

Emiel Karel Emma Smet

Margaret Ann Taylor Miles

Emiel Karel Emma Smet, 90, of Amissville, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at Poet's Walk Memory Care Community in Warrenton, Virginia. He was born December 22, 1932 in Stekene, Belgium to the late Petrus Josef and Coleta Adrienne Smet. Emiel's childhood was filled with tragic family disruptions during WWII. He inherited his tenacity from his parents as his mother struggled to keep him and his five siblings together in 23 moves during the war while his father worked in the Underground to assist shot-down Allied pilots in covertly returning to England. His father was captured and spent time away from his family in a German prison. His family was trapped in the middle of the Battle of the Bulge, and as a young teen, he witnessed his best friend become a war casualty. Following the war, the family made Antwerp, Belgium their home, and following his military service, Emiel continued his education at the University of Ghent where he received the equivalent of a Master's degree in civil engineering. He and his first wife, Maria, were married in May 1955 and came to the United States seeking employment in 1961. After a variety of jobs including farm hand, construction worker, and builder, Emiel was finally able to put his engineering degree to good use when hired by Mr. George DeFranceaux to design and build a large addition to their home. Mr. DeFranceaux became Emiel's mentor in real estate investing and opened the door to his long-time love for real estate and a position as Property Manager for the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in Bethesda, Maryland. Emiel held the position at FASEB until his early retirement in 1981. In the interim, Emiel and Maria became U.S. citizens on May 10, 1968. Maria died in August 1971 as a result of injuries sustained in a natural gas explosion at their home in Bethesda. Emiel was severely burned in the fire but survived after an extended hospital stay. Emiel and his second wife, Lynda, met at a professional meeting in 1973 and were married June 26, 1976. They moved to his beloved farm in 1981 when he designed and built their current home. Once their home was completed, he needed something to do and became the first Building Official for Rappahannock County as well as Acting Zoning Administrator for several years. Emiel was actively involved in both the Bethesda-Chevy Chase and Culpeper Exchange Clubs, and served terms as president in both. He was also a past member of the D.C. Professional Grounds Management Society and a past member of VIW, the Belgian Flemish organization. Emiel loved his wife, family, and friends, his many rescue Golden Retrievers (now Molly and Vivie), fresh seafood, and the life that they lived in Rappahannock County Virginia... even their herd of miniature donkeys! He was so proud of his citizenship and the life that they had built, but he still held a place in his heart for his birthplace and traditions. Emiel was a kind and generous friend to everyone. A great problem-solver, and was known for his strong convictions and little fear in voicing them. He enjoyed lending an ear or shoulder, woodworking, traveling, cooking, an occasional cruise, and a good Malbec or Sauvignon wine. He's known for his grill-smoked salmon, crepes, and carbonnade flammande or Belgian beef stew! Emiel is survived by his wife of 47 years, Lynda Anne Walker Smet of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and sisters-in-law, Julia Smet of Ocean City, Maryland, Anny Dierckx of Kapellen, Belgium, Claudia (J. Kenneth) Grove and Jennifer (Paul) Highnam of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and Nancy (Michael) White of Marysville, Ohio. Included also are his nieces and nephews, Ingrid (Jan) DeSager-Smet, Sandra (Danny) Verlinden-VanOers, Kelli (Chris) Hulse, Gretchen White, and Molly Highnam, John (Yanira) Smet, Wim (Marlies) Thierens, Paul (Christine) Bocklandt, Omer (Lea) Bocklandt, Alexander (Nancy) Van-Oers, Peter (Luc) Smet, Patrick Smet, Danny (Karen) VanOers, Jan Smet, Todd (Lora) Grove, Brendan ( Lauren) White, Sam (Jasmine) Highnam and numerous grand-nieces and grand-nephews. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his first wife, Marie-Louise Smet-VanLysebetten, sister-in-law, Greta Thierens-VanLysebette n, and five siblings, Leon Smet, Alphonsine Bocklandt-Smet, Christiaan Smet, Gabriella VanOers-Smet, Maurice Smet, sister-in-law, Lily Smet and brothers-in-law, Robert Bocklandt, Guido VanOers, and Victor Meeuws. Services will be private with burial in Mount Vernon, Ohio. A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring. A special thank you to all of the family and friends who have offered love and support over this long journey of Alzheimer's, and to all of the staff at Poet's Walk and Heartland Hospice. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts are suggested for Rappahannock Animal Welfare League in Amissville, VA; Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue in Amissville, VA; Heartland Hospice in Warrenton, VA; or the Alzheimer's Research Fund in Clarksville, MD.

Margaret Ann Taylor Miles, 79, passed away peacefully while surrounded by her family on Sunday, September 17, 2023. One of five children, Margaret was born June 9, 1944 to the late Eldred Marshall Taylor and Agnes Marilyn Bull Taylor. Margaret grew up on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in the small town of Sign Post, where everyone knew her as Margaret Ann. She graduated from Atlantic High School, class of 1962, received her bachelor's degree in education from James Madison University and master's degree from Salisbury University. She remained close to the Lord throughout her life, attending Sign Post United Methodist Church as a child and after moving to Parksley, VA, became a faithful member of Grace United Methodist along with her husband and children. Margaret was a longtime member of Soroptimist International of Accomack County and Prince William County. She was passionate about the work they did and grateful for the many friendships shared. Throughout her career as an educator, Mrs. Miles worked in both Accomack and Worcester Counties, serving as a teacher, mentor, principal, and administrator. After retirement, continued to be an advocate for our children as a member of the Accomack County Board of Supervisors. Mrs. Miles devoted much of her life to inspiring and encouraging her students and colleagues. She set the bar high and pushed everyone to meet their potential, perfectly balancing order and discipline with kindness and respect. Though exceptional in the eyes of many, she was extraordinary to her family, all of whom she loved completely and unconditionally. In addition to her parents, Margaret was predeceased by her husband, James Warren "Jimmy" Miles; brother, E. Thomas "Tommy" Taylor; and sister, Barbara Lois Taylor. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Christopher Miles of New Church, VA and Lynne Carter and her husband, Ryan, of St. Augustine, FL; sister, Janet Cope and her husband, David, of McLean, VA; brother, Donald Taylor and his wife, Lynn, of Salisbury, MD; grandchildren, Benjamin Ross, Lily Miles, Sally Carter, and Miles Carter; and many nieces and nephews. To honor Margaret's wishes, her family will gather privately for interment at the Remson United Methodist Church Cemetery in Pocomoke City, MD. Should friends desire, contributions in Margaret's memory may be made to Soroptimist International of Accomack County, c/o Mrs. Betty Kerns, P.O. Box 89, Locustville, VA 23404. Memory tributes may be shared with the family at www.williamsfuneralhomes .com.
