King credited the help she received from more than 100 volunteers who rallied over the last few weeks to raise awareness of the special election and coax voters to the polls. Coming as it did after the holidays and amid the pandemic, connecting with voters was especially challenging, said King, a 38-year-old mom of three who works as a program assistant for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Lateef: ‘No change at this time’ As other NOVA schools go virtual, Prince William sticks with in-person classes

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

As COVID-19 cases surged over the holiday break, nearly every school division in Northern Virginia paused or suspended in-person learning during the first several days immediately following winter break.

The lone exception is Prince William, where operations continued as usual this week despite the county’s highest-in-the-region COVID-19 numbers.

Prince William has led the region for weeks in both its percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests and its rate of infection per capita. Per capita infection rates above 20 are considered a “very high” case load, according to the RAND Corporation, which analyzes COVID-19 data for the Virginia Department of Health.

Prince William County’s was 57 as of Monday, Jan. 4. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization recommends a percent-positivity rate below 5% before governments reopen. Prince William County’s percent-positivity rate was 20.8%, according to VDH data.

Prince William County’s COVID-19 numbers are higher than those in Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, Fauquier, Stafford and Spotsylvania counties, all of which have put either reverted to or continued all-virtual instruction due to concerns about rising COVID-19 metrics. Manassas and Manassas Park school divisions also remain virtual.

Prince William’s rising metrics had the Prince William Education

Association continuing its call for all-virtual instruction.

“PWEA asks that the school board and division hold a meeting as soon as possible to discuss reverting to virtual-only education, as so many other districts in Virginia are doing, in light of the rising COVID-19 threat to our teachers, staff and students,” PWEA President Maggie Hansford said Thursday, Dec. 31. “We believe it is irresponsible to return to school January 4th, given the increased risk to everyone in the buildings.”

Neither Superintendent Steven Walts nor school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta returned an email for comment for this story.

But School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef, an ophthalmologist and a strong advocate for in-person instruction despite the pandemic risks, said he “remains committed” to the school division’s return-toschool plan and trusts Walts and the school division’s pandemic team to make changes if necessary.

“From my standpoint, no change at this time,” Lateef (At Large) said Thursday, Dec. 31. “School divisions around the nation have been operating a hybrid model with worse health metrics for months, and schools have not been seen as a source of major outbreaks or a source of community spread.”

Lateef did not specify which school divisions are operating with in-person instruction with higher COVID-19 percent-positivity rates than Prince William’s 20%.

“I recognize the concerns of the PWEA,” Lateef added. “But I remain

Va. state senator dies of COVID-19 Virginia State Sen. A. Benton “Ben” Chafin Jr., R-38th, of Russell County, has died of COVID-19, the Senate Republican leadership announced Jan. 1.

“Tonight, as the Senate of Virginia comes to grips with this tremendous and untimely loss caused

by COVID-19, our sympathy and prayers are with Ben’s wife, Lora Lee, their children and grandchildren, and Ben’s mother and his sister, Justice Teresa Chafin,” Senate Republican Leader Tommy Norment, R-3rd, of James City, said in a statement.

Chafin, 60, was born in Abingdon and was briefly a member of the House of Delegates before winning a special election to the Senate in 2014. He is the first Virginia lawmaker to die from the virus, though several have had bouts with COVID-19, as has Gov. Ralph Northam and his wife, Pam. Northam, a Democrat and former state senator who also presided over the chamber as lieutenant governor, said Southwest Virginia had “lost a strong advocate — and we have all lost a good man.”

“I knew Ben as a lawmaker, an attorney, a banker, and a farm-

He loved the outdoors, and he loved serving people even more. He pushed hard to bring jobs and investment to his district, and I will always be grateful for his courageous vote to expand health care for people who need it,” Northam said, referring to Chafin’s vote to expand Medicaid in 2018. Northam has ordered the state flag to be lowered to half-staff.

The Roanoke Times reported that Chafin had tested positive for the virus in December but that his family kept the diagnosis private for weeks.

committed to the process our school division has laid out for our return to learning plan. Dr. Walts and the pandemic team remain vigilant in their daily monitoring of the health metrics and weighing that against our outstanding mitigation efforts.”

Prince William schools are tracking cases among students and staff on their website. The dashboard listed 324 cases in December, but none have so far met the state health department’s definition of an outbreak, according to the school division.

More students return Jan. 12

Currently, about 5,000 pre-K, kindergarten, first-grade, special education and English learning students are attending school in person, mostly two days a week. The school division is preparing to allow second- and third-grade students to return for hybrid instruction on Jan. 12 and 13, followed by fourth-, fifth-, sixth- and ninth-graders on Jan. 26 and 27. Remaining high school students are scheduled to return on Feb. 2 and 3. All students can choose to remain virtual if they want to.

School Board member Lillie Jessie (Occoquan) continues to counter Lateef’s position, saying last week that she would like Walts to minimize the risk to teachers and students, much as he does with weather-related closures.

“Can’t we give a Code Red to teachers and staff because of the rising COVID cases, and err on the side of caution?” Jessie asked.

Health experts say the current surge in COVID-19 cases is tied to indoor gatherings over Thanksgiving and that numbers are expected to spike again in the weeks after Christmas and New Year’s gatherings.

Jessie said she’s particularly concerned that “tier 1” teachers are being told they must return to school buildings despite the rising COVID-19 cases and community spread in the county. The designation refers to teachers with documented underlying health conditions that place them at risk for more severe complications to COVID-19. Jessie said the school division is putting teachers in a difficult position.

“For one thing, they’re terrified of the virus, and secondly they’re terrified of losing their jobs or being looked at in a different light [as if] they don’t care about children,” Jessie said.

Hansford said teachers are frustrated that Walts and the school board are not reacting to the rising COVID-19 cases or even fully explaining their decision-making process for allowing in-person instruction.

Del. Lee Carter announces run for governor

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

After hinting at a gubernatorial run for weeks, Del. Lee Carter of Manassas formally announced on New Year’s Day he is running for the 2021 Democratic nomination for Virginia governor.

“For too long, we’ve listened to career politicians and pundits tell us that there is no other way,” Carter said in his launch video, released Friday, Jan. 1. “But no more. In this primary we can finally pick a governor that will fight for the rest of us.”

Carter, 33, was first elected to the 50th House of Delegates seat in 2017 and re-elected in 2019.

He is Virginia’s only socialist lawmaker.

“For the teachers and nurses. For shipbuilders and students struggling to make tuition. For everyone with a stack of bills on the kitchen table waiting to get paid. I’m running for governor so the rest of us can finally get what we need and deserve,” Carter said in press release announcing his candidacy.

Carter has said that he will not drop his run for

reelection in his 50th District House of Delegates seat if he jumps into the gubernatorial race. Virginia law allows candidates in statewide primaries to run for their House seats at the same time.

Following the 2020 General Assembly session, several of Carter’s bills were signed into law, including a law banning strip searches of children and a law capping co-pays for insulin products at $50 a month which went into effect on Jan. 1.

Carter has introduced legislation ahead of the 2021 General Assembly session to repeal Virginia’s “right to work” law, to allow public school teachers to strike and to abolish the death penalty -- all bills Carter introduced unsuccessfully in 2020.

Carter said several weeks ago that his decision to run for governor would be solely based on whether he “hears discussion from other candidates about making big, transformative change to our political system and to our economy to make sure we have an economy that works for the rest of us.”

Carter is the second candidate from Prince William County and the fourth overall to seek the Dem-

Sewell launches bid for 51st District state delegate

O’Connor enters race for 31st District state delegate

Times Staff Writer

Idris O’Connor, 25, of Dale City, has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the 31st District House of Delegates seat.

O’Connor is the third person to seek the his party’s nomination after two-term incumbent Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D), announced she will run for lieutenant governor in 2021 and not seek reelection in the General Assembly.

O’Connor is the president of the Prince William County Young Democrats, a member of the Prince William County Social Service Advisory Board and the chair of the Cooperative Council of Ministries, a network of churches in Prince William County providing services to the homeless.

A native of the Bronx, New York, O’Connor has lived in Dale City since he was in grade school. O’Connor grew up in Prince William and attended local public schools as well as Northern Virginia Community College, he said in his release.

O’Connor noted his work with low-income and homeless people in his announcement. “Our middle and working-class residents shouldn’t have to struggle to pay for housing and worry about health care costs. People should be able to live and work in the same community, and for a lot of people that’s just not possible in Virginia today,” O’Connor said in his release.

O’Connor’s platform includes increasing public school funding, making free prekindergarten universally available and increasing funding for affordable housing programs, O’Connor said.

Woodbridge resident Briana Sewell has announced her candidacy for the 51st House of Delegates’ seat currently held by Del. Hala Ayala, who is not seeking reelection to vie for the Democratic nomination in the lieutenant governor’s race.

Sewell, 30, is a Democrat and the first candidate to announce a bid for the seat. No Republican candidates has yet filed for the race.

Sewell currently serves as chief of staff to Prince William County at-large Board of County Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler. Before that, she was the political director and senior organizer for the Virginia Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy, an advocacy group pushing for paid family and medical leave in Virginia.

Sewell said as a public servant, she “has listened and responded to the concerns of the people of the 51st District for the entirety of her professional life.”

“I’m in this race because I want to continue to build on the important work in Richmond and be a voice for the 51st District,” Sewell said in a news release. “That means strengthening our public schools, improving resources for service members, fighting for affordable health care, investing in transportation and working to ensure economic prosperity for all.”

Sewell served as U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly’s Prince William County district director from 2014 to 2018.

“I know she’ll bring that same

Idris O’Connor Besides O’Connor, Kara Pitek, 38, of Manassas, has announced she will seek the Democratic nomination for the 31st District seat. Pitek is a project manager with a federal contractor and a member of the Prince William County Housing Board.

A third Democrat, Katelyn Page, has also filed paperwork to run for the 31st District seat and is “still considering” whether she will run, she said in a Dec. 8 email. Page was Miss Virginia 2020 and is active in the Prince William County Democratic Committee.

So far, no Republican candidates have filed to run for the 31st District seat next year.

Republican Scott Lingamfelter held the seat for 16 years but was defeated

by Guzman in the 2017 election. Most recently, Republican candidate D.J. Jordan received 47% of the vote in 2019.

The 31st District straddles Prince William and Fauquier counties with about 71% of its registered voters in Prince William. However, a state redistricting commission must draw new district boundaries before the November 2021 election using data from the 2020 U.S. census, meaning the district’s boundaries could change. The primary election will take place on June 8, 2021.

SCHOOLS, from page 2 At a Dec. 3 school board meeting, Associate Superintendent Denise Huebner said the school division’s status for in-person instruction could change under a set of dire circumstances, including “a change in our overall community’s medical health or [its] ability to provide health care;”

an uncontrollable outbreak in schools that can’t be mitigated through normal protocols; an inability to staff schools; or a decision to halt in-person learning by Gov. Ralph Northam.

Hansford said she wonders why Prince William County school division officials believe it’s safe for students and teachers to return to

Briana Sewell energy, tenacity, and enthusiasm to the House of Delegates. I’m proud to support Briana for Delegate and urge everyone in the 51st District to do the same,” Connolly said in a statement.

Sewell grew up in Woodbridge in a military family. She earned a bachelor’s degree in public policy from the College of William and Mary and a master’s degree in public administration from American University.

Sewell also announced a long list of endorsements, including those of state Sens. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, Scott Surovell, D-36th, George Barker, D-39th, House Appropriations Chair Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd and Ayala.

“I am proud to endorse Briana Sewell for the 51st House District,” Ayala said in a statement.

“I’ve watched Briana grow as a leader in this community and I know she will be a champion for the 51st District. In Richmond, she will continue to move Virginia forward and fight for working families.”

Ayala was first elected to the 51st House of Delegates district in 2017 and re-elected to the seat in 2019.

KING, from page 1 “This race has not been about me,” she said.

“So many people have come out and made phone calls and talked to voters. I would say it was a collective effort.”

King is the wife of Josh King, who ran unsuccessfully for the 2nd District House of Delegates seat in 2015 and 2017 before he ran for Prince William County sheriff in 2019, a race he narrowly lost to Sheriff Glendell Hill (R).

“It’s been a tremendous honor, even in the midst of a pandemic, to talk with so many of my neighbors and to hear what’s on their hearts and minds and to reflect that in my campaign,” she said.

King said she’s not sure if she will be able to sponsor any legislation in the upcoming session POLICE CHIEF from page 1 The citizen panelists, Richard Marianos, Grealin Kimbrough and Nicolle Campa, served on the hiring panel alongside top Prince William County officials, including Deputy County Executive Elijah Johnson, County Attorney Michelle Robl, Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth and Sheriff Glen Hill. The panel interviewed six finalists for the position and provided the Prince William Board of County Supervisors with their top choices.

The interview panelists were chosen by County Executive Chris Martino “based on their professional and/ or personal knowledge and experience in law enforcement and community issues,” according to county spokeswoman Sherrie Johnson.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors ultimately voted 7-1 in a Nov. 24 closed session meeting to hire Newsham as the county’s next police chief.

But two of the three citizen members of the panel, both with extensive backgrounds in law enforcement, have since shared differing reactions to their interview with Newsham.

Marianos, a law enforcement consultant and an adjunct lecturer at Georgetown University who served 27 years at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said Newsham’s experience leading one of the country’s largest police departments made him his top pick for the job.

“Pete Newsham was head and shoulders above, in terms of experience and ability, the other candidates,” Marianos said. “... He has almost 30 years of law enforcement background that can address the ills of Prince William County as we grow.”

Marianos pointed at the rate of population growth in Prince William County and an increase in what he called “urban crime” as a primary reason for recommending Newsham for the job. Prince William County is the second-largest county in Virginia and is expected to add another 100,000 new residents over the next 20 years.

“We’re growing at a rate of about 15 people a day and with that is coming, and you can see it if you look at the crime blogs and you look at the statistics, a significant amount of urban crime. And in my opinion, we needed someone that could address that type of activity and has a strategy and the ability and bona fides

because the deadline for doing so has already passed. But she said she will sign onto a bill carried by Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, to require paid sick leave for workers, and will focus on pandemic recovery efforts and expanding transportation options for her constituents.

King said she’ll also work on ways to improve services for special needs children and adults. The Kings have a teenage daughter who has autism. She said she spoke with several parents who shared their struggles with raising children with special needs.

Voter turnout, at about 16%, was about double the 8% Prince William County elections officials expected for the special election.

There was a “steady trickle” of voters all day at Swans Creek Elementary, said election officer Twyla Jones. Voting took place in the school’s gymna-

to handle something like that. And frankly, the other candidates didn’t,” Marianos said.

But Kimbrough, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program manager and former police officer, said he was less impressed with Newsham’s interview. Kimbrough said that while he agreed that Newsham was qualified, he said Newsham “was not my top pick.”

“He’s got an outstanding resume.

But that resume did not translate in the interview,” Kimbrough said. “... I feel like he got the job based on his resume and less how he presented himself during the interview itself. And I expressed the issues I had with that.”

Kimbrough said he took issue with Newsham’s responses to interview questions using “generic or general concepts” to discuss his experience and education “in lieu of actually addressing what was being asked from him with nuance and detail.”

“I don’t feel he was as direct in answering some of the considerations that were proffered,” Kimbrough said. “... Have you ever asked somebody a question and they answered a question that you didn’t ask, or they only answered the question in terms of how they wanted to, not for the detail that you’re trying to get to get from them?”

In addition to his 14-year-career in law enforcement, Kimbrough, who is African American, is also actively involved in community conversations about policing in Northern Virginia, specifically surrounding police shootings and race and policing.

Campa did not respond to requests for comment. Campa is the vice president of human resources for news bureaus at Fox News and the board president of Metro DC PFLAG, a Washington D.C.-based LGBTQ advocacy organization, according to her LinkedIn profile.

The county’s hiring of Newsham has caused a stir in Prince William County since the announcement was made in late November. Citizens and some local organizations have called on the board of supervisors to rescind their offer.

Residents, many of them young adults, have vocally objected to the D.C. Metro Police Department’s response to recent police killings of African American residents in Washington D.C. and the use of tear gas and pepper spray against protesters this summer during mass

sium, which offered plenty of room for social distancing. Still, all wore masks, and the process was a contact-free as possible with poll workers scanning voters’ ID cards through plexiglass dividers.

Some voters said they only found out about the election in recent days. Bryan Isherwood, 28, of Woodbridge, said he wanted to come out to support the Democratic candidate in the race.

Isherwood, a Woodbridge Senior High School grad who recently returned to the area after graduate school, said he was struck by how many people in his family’s upper-middle-class neighborhood are struggling amid the pandemic.

“I would hope that [both parties] would be looking for ways to help people, but I think the Democrats would be leaning into it a little more,” he said.

protests of police brutality.

Others have taken issue with the hiring process, alleging that the county did not seek enough input from the public in their decision, including Prince William County NAACP president Cozy Bailey, who called the hiring of Newsham “disappointing.”

“There was almost no transparency on how the police chief was chosen,” Bailey said.

Bailey said, however, that NAACP

plans to immediately reach out to create a relationship with the new chief to ensure that he “understands the place that we have in this community, the things that we represent and to understand where he’s coming from.”

Bailey said the organization will “move forward to develop and maintain that relationship for the betterment of the community.”

DEATH PENALTY from page 1

death row in Virginia.

Nationwide, the death penalty has disproportionately impacted African Americans. African Americans account for 34% of all executions while making up only 13% of the country’s population, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

Ashworth noted that “the government sanctioned killing of a person who no longer poses an imminent threat to anyone” is also a costly process that could be better spent on crime prevention and deterrence. The state currently operates four capital defender offices that represent poor people charged with capital murder and facing the death penalty.

“The prosecution of these cases costs taxpayers hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, money that I suggest would be better spent on more effective strategies for preventing and deterring crime, which I wholeheartedly support,” Ashworth said.

Prince William County was once notorious for its frequent use of the death penalty. Former county commonwealth’s attorney Paul Ebert, who served from 1968 until 2019, sent more killers to death row than any other prosecutor in Virginia.

In 2013, the county was ranked in the top 2% of jurisdictions responsible for most of the executions that have taken place in the United States since 1976.

Del. Lee Carter, D-50th, and state Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, both of whom represent parts of the Prince William County, introduced bills in the 2020 General Assembly session to ban the death penalty in Virginia. But both bills were killed.

Carter, who is running for Virginia governor and for reelection in the 50th district, has reintroduced his bill ahead of the 2021 meeting of the General Assembly.

“The death penalty is unjust, racially biased, and ineffective at deterring crime,” the letter said. “We have more equitable and effective means of keeping our communities safe and addressing society’s most heinous crimes. It is past time for Virginia to end this antiquated practice.”

The group includes the commonwealth’s attorneys from the counties of Prince William, Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, Henrico and Albemarle, and the cities of Alexandria, Charlottesville, Norfolk, Hampton, Portsmouth and Newport News.

Together, the group says they represent about 40% of Virginia’s 8.5 million residents.

In addition to abolishing the death penalty, the group is also advocating to end cash bail, mandatory sentences and the “three strikes” felony enhancement for larceny offenses. They’re also calling for the automatic expungement of criminal records once offenders have completed their sentences.

Ashworth, who was elected commonwealth’s attorney in 2019, has been vocal about her opposition to the death penalty. She said in an email Monday, that while it is legal in Virginia, she remains “morally opposed to it.”

“It is clear to me that this policy, like many policies involving criminal justice, disproportionately affects low-income individuals and people of color. Furthermore, repeated studies have shown it does not deter future criminal activity, which is a frequently cited justification,” Ashworth said.

More than 1,500 people have been executed in the United States since 1976. Virginia ranks second in the nation for executions with 113 executions, behind only Texas.

Prince William Times | January 6, 2021

FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK

2020: A year of re-connection and extraordinary engagement In early March of 2020, we started to understand the severity of the coronavirus. As we all grappled with what it meant to us -- individually and collectively – we still believed that we would get through this unsettling development relatively quickly.

In short order, the reality became devastatingly real -- and relentless.

Our local businesses, health care providers and local community leaders began efforts to help contain the deadly virus. Businesses became Zoom-savvy and figured out how to interact with customers in the new contactless environment. Grocery stores installed one-way stickers in their aisles and ramped up delivery options. And our health care providers worked diligently -- in spite of the risk -- to care for our sick neighbors. Slowly but steadily, we identified and developed new ways to communicate and reconnect on almost every level.

Remote site communication is difficult at best but we adapted. None of it was easy, but we recognized it was necessary to our survival.

Conversations through Zoom, Skype and social media replaced in-person connections as we all worked through our challenges.

The same question loomed every time a Zoom call dropped, every time we struggled to hear someone through a mask: Will we ever recover from this devasting blow?

Despite myriad frustrations, we realized that our friends, neighbors and fellow businessmen and women are all fighting the same difficulties. We are in this together and together we are making it work.

Our communities have rallied in so many ways. One memory that stands out for me: When restaurants closed down, Molly’s Irish Pub in Warrenton spread the word that they needed to sell out the corned beef and cabbage they had already purchased for St. Patrick’s Day. Within a few hours, the Main Street favorite completely sold out!

During the past year, our coun-

ties came up with creative ways to stay engaged: We transitioned to spread-out and drive-thru farmers markets. Outdoor dining gave our main streets a promenade feel, while lighted and enclosed bubbles and igloos felt festive and cheerful, safe and engaging.

We also had drive-in parades and flyovers in the spring and summer for our health care and frontline workers. There was extraordinary engagement from communities that appreciated their hard work during a terrible time.

Our small papers received donations as well as letters of encouragement and appreciation for coverage that mattered the most to our readers. They knew we were working under threat of COVID-19, just like they were. They saw us with cameras and notebooks and facemasks, covering not only the effects of the pandemic on our county, but protests, fires, school board meetings -- and yes, even a business opening or two.

If we continue to embrace our community spirit and support our local businesses, I am confident we have a fighting chance. Although it will take months to vaccinate everyone, the highly effective doses offer hope for an end to days of masks and empty chairs to those filled instead with smiles and renewed connections with friends and colleagues.

Fauquier and Prince William counties are strong and have proved to be resilient in the face of this crisis. 2021 will see us taking the lessons we’ve learned and applying them to our new normal.

I even learned how to unmute myself during a Zoom call. That gives me hope.

The Prince William Times welcomes letters to the editor from its readers as a forum for discussion of local public affairs subjects.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A wish for a better 2021 2020 was different in many ways. During the year, the COVID-19 made all of us stay in our homes because it made many get sick and even die.

I miss going to in-person school because of the decorated classrooms and the other students. One thing I like about online school is that our assignments are on different websites.

I hope that the coronavirus ends in 2021 so we can do whatever we want like before. I think that we learned from COVID-19 that we should always be good by helping others and being nice to each other.

Happy New Year!

HAZEEM AHMAD, 7 Manassas

A New Year’s message from a Muslim American The year 2020 has brought immense hardships and struggles to all of us. Even as a teenager, I have seen these hardships and struggles contributing to a new divide between many people. As an American Ahmadi Muslim, I have learned that unity no matter of religion, race, status, etc. is crucial to society.

The spiritual leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, his holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, emphasizes the importance of showing compassion to everyone.

As minorities, Ahmadi Muslims around the world face severe persecution in a number of Muslim-majority countries. They are stripped of allowing to practice their religion freely, a privilege that we take for granted in western countries. How-

ever, his holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad does advise Ahmadi Muslims in Musim-majority countries to not act erratically in this situation.

He knows that this would contribute to their further divide and suffering.

Above anything, Mirza Masroor Ahmad emphasizes to show “Love for all and hatred for none,” the motto of the community.

In the wake of a new year, we should all remember that we can only face our struggles if we come together as one nation and one people, despite our differences. The Holy Qur’an says, “And hold fast, all together, by the rope of God and be not divided” (3:104).

LAAIBAH TAYYEB Manassas

U.S. COVID-19 response a victim of willful ignorance Last week [the Fauquier Times] reported the total COVID death toll for Fauquier County. It was 28.

Coincidentally, it was the same as the total number of COVID deaths for the entire nation of New Zealand in 2020.

If the United States had the same per capita death rate as New Zealand, the U.S. total COVID death count would be about 1,800, or roughly two-thirds of the current number of U.S. deaths for a single

day -- not the current reality of more than 300,000.

New Zealand’s response to the virus has been forceful, rooted in data and reason. The United States response has been hampered by ideology and willful ignorance. The difference in the results could not be more stark.

When the fastest stars raced at ‘Old Dominion’

By Martin Jeter

Contributing Writer

Did you know that the major stars of the National Association for Stock car Auto Racing (NASCAR) once raced right here in Prince William County?

Well, they did, from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s at our own “Old Dominion Speedway” near Manassas.

I’m guessing that I don’t have to tell you that Prince William was a very different place back then. Cecil Hylton had just started building Dale City.

There were still lots of farms around Manassas and even some near Woodbridge. Pickup trucks with gun racks were a common sight on the mostly two-lane roads, many of which were just barely two lanes and unpaved.

There were still lots of families living here who had been here for generations. The transition to the bedroom community of today was just starting.

NASCAR was also a much lower-key organization back then, and the cars were much closer to actually being “stock.” Before the mega-sponsorships and multi-million-dollar team budgets of today, the racing teams would basically buy a car off the lot, install a roll cage and other safety items, modify the suspension and engine, and go racing.

The drivers often modified their own cars, and the race purses were a major source of their income. There were more NASCAR races held at all types of tracks and the drivers tried to hit as many as they could each season.

Old Dominion Speedway, which was across Va. 234 from the county fairgrounds, thrived in this era.

The Gore brothers, Wally and Al, bought Old Dominion’s predecessor, Longview Speedway, in 1952.

After purchasing the 22-acre property, they converted the flat quarter-mile dirt oval to a 3/8-mile paved banked oval and hired a promoter to increase interest in the track. Wally Gore helped organize the Northern Virginia Stock Car Club so they’d have a formal organization. They also added a drag strip.

After these changes and initiatives, the track became more successful and profitable back in the day when racetracks dotted the country, including in the D.C. area. There were tracks in Beltsville, Aquasco, Dorsey, and Marlboro (later expanded to include a sports car road course), all in Maryland.

Most folks in the D.C. area didn’t have to go too far to see a race. Most of the time, these tracks hosted local drivers who battled it out on Saturday nights. It was all much less formal back then. Spectators could even walk right up to their favorite drivers after a race at Old Dominion to talk and maybe even have a beer with them if they were willing.

COURTESY PHOTOS

Scenes from 2012 races during Old Dominion Speedway’s final year in Prince William County. The local racetrack attracted some of racing’s biggest stars in the 1950s and ’60s.

Big names: Richard Petty, Worth McMillion, Wendell Scott

But then Old Dominion went bigtime. NASCAR’s premier Grand National class (now the Cup series) raced at Old Dominion as early as 1958, but didn’t return until 1963. Race purses were still important to the drivers, and promoters would also provide incentives to the stars, knowing they would draw a bigger crowd.

Many of the NASCAR stars of the day raced here in those years, including Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Neil Bonnet, Darrel Waltrip, Ned Jarret, Junior Johnson and Tiny Lund.

Richard Petty won twice, in 1963 and 1965. Junior Johnson won the other race in 1965. Ned Jarret won twice in 1964: a 400-lap race in July and a 500-lap race in September. A Virginia driver with a great name -- Worth McMillion -- raced in every Grand National race at Old Dominion except 1958. And that was his real name.

Worth was short for Worthington!

Wendell Scott, the first Black NASCAR Grand National driver and one of only three in NASCAR’s premier series to this day, finished sixth in that 500-lap race in September 1964.

Scott ran 495 races in his 13-year NASCAR career, winning one.

It’s noteworthy to mention that Scott persevered during his career, lasting from from 1961 to 1973, despite facing lots of discrimination.

He finished top 10 in points for four seasons in a row, despite being barred from some series races in the deep South due to the color of his skin.

Even his only win in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1964 was marred by a racial incident. Another driver was initially announced as the winner, and Scott was not rightfully declared the winner until hours later after most everyone had left the track. His family only received the race trophy in 2010 -- 20 years after Scott died.

The other Black Cup drivers include

Willy T. Ribbs, in 1986, and now, Bubba Wallace. Wallace spearheaded the recent effort to ban the Confederate Flag at NASCAR races. He just joined Michael Jordan’s new NASCAR team (yes, THAT Michael Jordan!). The road to ending racism is long and winding, but Scott, Ribbs and Wallace have accelerated us along that road.

Just like Prince William County, NASCAR grew up, and Old Dominion’s Grand National heyday ended in 1967. With heavy manufacturer support and the advent of big sponsorship dollars, the Grand National cars had become too fast and the crowds too large for the smaller tracks like Old Dominion. Even so, the track remained successful for many more

years, in large part due to the Late Model Stock racing class that track promoter Dick Gore pioneered. The class reduced costs for local racers, increasing the car count for each race and thereby the paying spectators.

It was the progression of Prince William County to a bedroom community that doomed the speedway in the end.

All those new folks who moved in near the racetrack weren’t too pleased when the engines roared on a Saturday nights. Even mufflers and sound walls couldn’t calm the outcry. The track shut down for good in 2012.

So, the race engines are silent now, replaced by the drone of traffic.

The fearless, grease-smeared throttle-jockeys have moved on -- replaced by commuters in SUVs. The last owners of Old Dominion opened a speedway south of Fredericksburg after developing the Old Dominion property with townhouses.

But if you open your window and listen closely as you drive down Va. 234 south of Manassas on a Saturday night, you might still hear the echoes of the roaring V-8 engines and the cheering crowds.

Haymarket’s Wagner leads Highland’s baseball signing class

By Peter Brewington

Highland baseball recruits

Times Staff Writer

There’s no greater testament to the rise of the Highland School baseball program than this amazing stat.

Every Hawk senior has earned a college offer since 2019. “We’re 11-for-11,” said Highland coach Micah Higgins, citing a spectacular batting average for the red-hot Warrenton program.

Higgins’ Class of 2021 has four college-bound seniors, including three NCAA Division I signees. They include 6-foot-6 fireballing pitcher Ed Wagner, a Haymarket resident who signed with George Washington University; Tyler Kaltreider (VMI), Eric WIlson (Charleston Southern) and Blake Cuddington (D-3 Virginia Wesleyan). All four signed in November.

Due to COVID-19, recruiting became challenging, as colleges struggled with roster decisions, and the landscape changed dramatically. “I feel blessed we found our seniors a home. It’s all about finding the right fit,” said Higgins.

College coaches locked up Wagner and Kaltreider in the fall of 2019, well before their junior years, while Wilson and Cuddington made their choices last summer. Highland played just four baseball games in 2020 before the pandemic cancellations, so there were no 2020 performances to evaluate.

“Colleges keep an eye on stats, but it’s more of how they project at the next level and the tools they see,” said Higgins.

He said D-1 schools look for height, especially in pitchers, and Highland’s future D-1 players fit the profile.

2022 class: Garrett Pancione (Radford commitment), Jackson Gimbel (JMU commitment) 2021: Ed Wagner (George Washington), Tyler Kaltreider (VMI), Eric Wilson (Charleston Southern), Blake Cuddington (Virginia Wesleyan) 2020 class: Blake Fisher (University of Lynchburg), Eddie Gimbel (Lynchburg), Adam Dressler (Messiah College) 2019: Dylan Fisher (Lynchburg), Joe DeBardi (Mount St. Mary’s), Luke Burner (West Virginia Wesleyan), Ty Gravett (Lynchburg)

COURTESY PHOTO

Highland School senior pitcher Ed Wagner “could be the first Major League Baseball draftee from our school” says coach Micah Higgins of the 6-foot6 Haymarket resident who signed with George Washington University in November.

Wagner is a 6-6, 225-pound right hander,who attended Battlefield as a freshman, where he played JV. He transferred to Highland for his sophomore year, joining a powerful team that made the state finals.

Wagner’s crowning accomplishment was his complete game victory in the 2019 VISAA Division 2

state semifinals, a 7-2 win over Greenbrier Christian.

Wagner allowed four hits and two earned in seven innings with four strikeouts, and stymied a team that had five Division I recruits, according to Higgins.

“That was his coming out party. After that game interest picked up,” said Higgins.

He committed to George Washington in October, 2019, early in his junior year.

“GW was his first offer. A GW coach came to watch a fall game and five minutes into the game, he texted me, ‘OK, I want this kid.’ It was a quick process. Ed was on campus in the next two to three days, and they made an offer,” Higgins said.

Wagner is viewed as Highland’s top player for this spring season. He is talking to major league scouts. “There’s a good chance he’ll be drafted this summer,” said Higgins.

Wagner’s stock has risen due to his size and his rise in velocity, up to 93 MPH after throwing 81 as a sophomore.

She is survived by her daughters Hayley and her husband Tom Parker, Katherine and her husband David Craig. Her grandchildren, Page and her husband Blake Harper and daughter Hazel, Will and Justin Parker, Grace and Morgan Craig. In addition, she is survived by her sisters, Kay Bentley, Sherrie Hackett, Pat Nevill, Frankie Harris-Lyne and many nephews and nieces.

Dawn Marie Schriebl (Hartley) “For Ever and Always. No Matter What.”

Our Dear Dawn Marie Schriebl born April 7, 1940 passed into the Great Unknown December 16, 2020. She was in the care of her family who surrounded her in her home in Asheville, NC. Dawn was prepared after having many conversations with God throughout her life.

In her last days she would pray for hours, prayers filled with beauty and vivid imagery, heartfelt words that will never be forgotten.

The eldest of the three daughters of Virginia and Alfred Schriebl, she spent most of her life in Prince William County, Virginia. Her youth was spirit filled as she was active in the St Paul’s Methodist Church youth fellowship in Woodbridge, Virginia. She belonged to a Northern Virginia singing group called Youth for Christ.

She was always singing and had a beautiful voice.

Dawn attended Gar-ield High School where she was a cheerleader, Homecoming Queen, Miss Gar-field. This is true. She was the epitome of the American Sweetheart.

It was said by her dearest high school and long time friend, “She was beloved by all for her sweetness and gentleness.” Sometimes she was called “Dawny”.

She attended one semester of college but became instantly homesick.

After calling her father crying, she returned home in short order.

She married and raised two children who adored her and brought more people into the world to fill her life.

Dawn appreciated being creative and worked as a floral and wedding designer for almost 30 years. After work life she enjoyed gathering with friends and family,her hobbies of crochet, ancestry research and photography. She spent many hours of her last two decades exploring the back roads of the North West Territory of the U.S.A. in what would become a photo journal of travels called “Mom On The Highway of Life”.

The most incredible blessing bestowed to her was her ability to make people feel loved and accepted no matter their circumstance. It’s no wonder she was endeared in the hearts of so many.

As she would always say, “No one is perfect” and gave her love “For Ever and Always. No Matter What.”

Dawn is survived by James Hartley of Manassas. Her daughter, Traci Kathleen King of Missoula, Montana, her children (grandchildren) Kathleen Morgan Ritchie, Garrett Jordan Jasnicki. Her son, Charles Alfred King, predeceased. His children (grandchildren) Joshua Christian King and Zach King. Her sisters Shirley (Keith) O’Dell of Dublin, Va. Patricia (Steven) Mennella of Amissville, Va. Great grandchildren Gabriel Anthony Udo and Kiley Virginia Udo, Jace King, Westlynn King.

During his high school years he was co captain of the JV football team and also played 1st base on the varsity baseball team. He was also a student school bus driver in the 11th and 12th grades (an unheard of thing now).

James served in the US Army and was a proud veteran. While in the service he was on the sharpshooter rifle team at Fort Lewis, Washington.

After military service he worked many years building houses, and as a superintendent for Richmarr Construction Co and after that he was always being promoted to the boss instantly on any new job. He had his own home improvement business, Quality Home Improvements, for years finally doing part time work being semi retired.

He was most proud of his sons and he could always be found in the stands cheering them and his nieces on, or on the golf course, showing his style, or mowing the grass on slow speed.
