Prince William expands vaccine distribution

More than 100,000 now eligible

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William Health District estimates that more than 100,000 local residents are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine after the county, Manassas and Manassas Park moved into the second phase of vaccinations on Monday.

The Prince William Health District, local hospitals, a few clinics and teams from CVS and Walgreens have been vaccinating health care workers, EMTs and nursing home residents and staff since Dec. 28. The health district began vaccinating police officers – a group at the top of the 1b group – on

Monday, health district Director Dr. Alison Ansher told the Manassas City Council on Monday night.

The health district is now reaching out to people age 75 and older as well all others in the 1b group to begin scheduling appointments for shots.

The health district will begin administering shots on Tuesday, Jan. 19, at George Mason University’s Beacon Hall, a dormitory and academic building located across the street from the Hylton Performing Arts center on the Manassas campus Ansher called the number of residents now eligible for vaccinations “overwhelming” and noted that the health district has limited staff and nurses to administer and oversee vaccinations. But the health district is hiring more and expects school nurses and medical reserve corps volun-

teers to help as vaccinations ramp up in the coming days and weeks.

Ansher noted the health district is only administering some of the shots. Local hospitals, Kaiser health care and the Greater Prince William Health Center are vaccinating their own employees, and CVS and Walgreens are coordinating shots for staff and residents of local long-term care facilities and group homes, she said.

Ansher acknowledged the health district got off to a “slow start.” The first vaccines were expected on Dec. 21 but didn’t arrive Dec. 23. Because of the Christmas holiday, vaccinations did not begin to be administered locally until Dec. 28.

As of Monday, Jan. 11, the health district had received a total of 10,000 vaccinations, Ansher said, but it’s not clear how many shots have yet

Rosie’s Gaming Emporium opens in Dumfries despite the pandemic

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Friends Yvonne Kay and Belvine Bonner said it was mostly curiosity that drew them to Rosie’s Gaming Emporium Friday morning, the opening day for the new gambling hotspot in Dumfries’ Triangle Shopping Plaza.

The two were trying their luck at a few of the 94 “historical horse race betting machines” in the newly remodeled 18,000-foot storefront space. With its black ceilings, black-and-red carpeting and brick walls lined with slot-like betting machines, Rosie’s Gaming Emporium looks a lot like a small casino.

But it’s not, both its owners and Dumfries officials insist. There are no cards, no dealers and no dice – just the “HHR betting machines,” which accept bets ranging from 1 cent to $10, as well as a bar and fast-food-like dining area.

The HHR betting machines feature large, brightly colored screens flashing with animated See ROSIE’S, page 4

been administered.

On Saturday, Jan. 9, the health district moved its vaccinations from a Prince William County facility to Metz Middle School in Manassas and is currently vaccinating 400 people per day, Ansher said.

The move to the GMU campus on Jan. 19 will allow for up to 600 vaccinations per day, she said.

Teachers, school staff to begin vaccinations Jan. 28

Regarding public school teachers and staff, Ansher said “one of the regional hospitals” has agreed to help vaccinate school staff members, but did not specify which one. Vaccinations for that group are expected to begin on Thursday, Jan. 28, and extend through February, she said.

3 dead, 3 injured after violence erupts in Manassas home Staff Reports Three people remain hospitalized and three are dead in the wake of a deadly shooting spree that began in a Manassas home last week and ended hours later in a rural area outside Rectortown in Fauquier County.

Prince William County police said Monday they were still waiting to interview three members of the Mitchell family – a 76-year-old woman, a 56-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy – who remained hospitalized Monday, Jan. 11, five days after they were shot inside their home by family member Asa Ellington Mitchell, 21, on Jan. 6.

Mitchell also fatally shot his father, Eric Mark Mitchell, 55, at the home, located in the 10000 block of Ellis Road, before fleeing in a family member’s car, a dark-colored sedan.

Jerry Wood, former Va. delegate, dies at 83

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

Jerry Wood, a former Virginia delegate who represented the Prince William County-area 31st District, died Friday, Jan. 8, from complications of COVID-19. He was 83.

Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill shared the news of Wood’s death Friday afternoon in a press release. Wood served on the Warrenton Town Council from 2014-2020. Wood served in the House of Delegates in the early 1990s.

A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Wood also owned the former Fauquier Pharmacy on Warrenton’s Main Street for two decades. He is survived by his wife, Coleen.

“Mr. Wood tirelessly advocated for commuVACCINE, from page 1

nity nonprofits,” Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill said in a statement. “He served on multiple committees and community organizations ranging from mental health, the environment, transportation and public safety. Instrumental in founding the Boys and Girls Club of Fauquier, he was the definition of a servant leader throughout his life.”

Wood had been hospitalized due to complications from COVID-19 since at least Jan. 1.

Warrenton Town Councilman Sean Polster called Wood “a pillar of this community and the commonwealth.”

“I was and am truly honored to have considered him a friend, colleague and mentor,” Polster said.

Wood was “a statesman,” he added. “The only thing he loved more than service was his family.”

Ansher said some of the people who have so far been offered the vaccine have not accepted it, although she said she expects that to change.

“We’re finding actually only about half the people offered so far have accepted vaccination, other than the long-term care facility residents,” Ansher said. “As time goes on, I suspect many of those people will just see how it goes ,and if things go well, they’ll probably want to be vaccinated.”

Superintendent Steven Walts said during the Jan. 6 school board meeting that the school division had offered the Edward L. Kelly Leadership Center as a site for school division vaccinations. But Ansher did not say during the Manassas City Council meeting where the school division vaccinations would take place.

She said school staff would be a priority, however, as part of the effort to return students to schools as soon as possible.

Prince William County schools will have pre-K through third grade students in school buildings this week, while Manassas and Manassas Park are still educating the vast majority of their students virtually.

“We felt it was important to vaccinate the teachers to hopefully make them feel more comfortable while we open schools,” Ansher said. She noted, however, that schools would have to maintain mask-wearing and social distancing protocols even after the vaccinations are administered “until we know how effective the vaccine is and how long the protection lasts.”

The vaccine has not yet been approved for children under the age of 16.

What to do now: Register and wait for an email

Residents age 75 and older are asked to fill out a brief online survey on the Prince William Health District website to assist the health district in contacting them, Ansher said.

The health district has begun creating a list of all those who want to be vaccinated in an electronic scheduling system. Health district staff will then send emails to individuals to instruct them how to make an appointment for a vaccination, Ansher said.

Officials are actively working with local emergency management partners to ensure that those who do not have access to email can schedule appointments as well, Ansher said.

Health care workers who have not yet been vaccinated and front-

line essential workers who are part of group 1b will be registered for vaccinations in coordination with their employers, Ansher said.

The health district will contact employers to ask them to provide a list of employees’ names and email addresses. Those lists will be uploaded in an electronic scheduling system, and employees will be contacted by the health department via an email to schedule an appointment, Ansher said.

While the health district is moving into vaccinating group 1b, “the vaccination effort is heavily reliant on the Virginia Department of Health receiving enough vaccine from the federal government,” according to a health department press release also issued Monday.

After the health district moves through groups 1a and 1b, it will move onto group 1c.

That group includes people between the ages of 65 and 74 as well as essential workers whose jobs require somewhat less interaction with the public, such as utility workers, construction workers, food service workers, transportation and logistics, finance workers, legal workers and the media.

Finally, when there is enough vaccine available, the state will move onto group 2, which includes the general public. There’s been no mention yet, however, on exactly when that might occur, although experts predict it likely will be well into the summer or early fall.

More than 100,000 now eligible for COVID-19 vaccines in Prince William The Prince William County health district, local hospitals and a few clinics have begun vaccinating local residents who fall into the 1a and 1b groups. Shots are given in accordance with state’s priority order. Here’s how many people are in each group in priority order:

Group 1a

Health care workers: 25,000 Long-term care staff, residents: 1,500

Group 1b

Police, fire, hazmat: 3,000 Corrections, shelter workers: 550 Child care workers, K-12 school staff: 15,000 Food and agriculture: 14,000 Manufacturing: 7,300 Grocery store workers: 11,000 Public transit workers: 8,000 Mail carriers: 2,000 75 and older: 17,000 People in correctional facilities: 1,700 At that point, Ansher said, it is expected that people will receive the shots from their health care providers or pharmacies, like they do flu shots.

“As we know, people tend to trust their health care provider for information and care and hopefully there will be enough vaccine that anyone who wants to be vaccinated, will be vaccinated.”

GOP chair, former delegate says ‘antifa’ involved in Capitol attack

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

While publicly condemning the violence at the U.S. Capitol, Virginia Republican Party Chair Rich Anderson claimed on social media there is anecdotal evidence that “antifa” helped storm the Capitol building, despite law-enforcement’s assertions there is no evidence they played a role in the attack.

U.S. Department of Justice officials told reporters on Friday, Jan. 8, that there is no indication that anti-fascist activists were involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack that left five dead, including a Capitol police officer.

Anderson, a former Woodbridge-area state delegate, said in a private group Facebook post Thursday, Jan. 7, that he was informed by people present during the attack that the group leading the charge in the Capitol building used the “signature” tactics of “antifa and other leftist groups.”

“Last night and this morning, I spoke to Virginia Republicans who were present on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and who personally witnessed the group that led the penetration of the U.S. Capitol,” Anderson wrote. “... According to these eyewitness accounts from who I know and trust, this group appeared to employ the signature strategies of antifa and other leftist groups.”

In the post, Anderson also expressed his strong support for President Donald Trump and for “the thousands who rallied peacefully” on Wednesday.

“I worked my fingers to the bone on [Trump’s] be-

half, first as a member of the General Assembly and then as chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia,” he wrote.

Anderson declined to answer questions about the social media post Friday but noted that he believes the “full picture of what transpired on Capitol Hill is still taking shape.”

“Investigations in the coming days will look into fixing responsibility and pursuing follow-on prosecutions of violent actors,” Anderson said in an email.

Numerous livestreamed videos and photos showed thousands of pro-Trump supporters attacking and breaching the Capitol building on Wednesday. The attackers were caught on video smashing windows, fighting with police officers and trashing the offices of elected officials.

A Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick, 42, of Springfield, was killed inside the building after reportedly being bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher. A woman trying to force her way through a broken window inside the building was shot and killed by Capitol police. Three others involved in the attack died after experiencing medical emergencies, according to law enforcement.

In a Jan. 6 public statement, Anderson condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the violence that occurred on Wednesday.

“They neither represent nor speak for the Republican Party of Virginia, our fellow citizens, or any civilized people. They do not reflect our views, our values, or the Republican Creed. I and Virginia Republicans across our great common-

But Anderson said on Friday that he would not be commenting on the attack on the Capitol for the “foreseeable future.”

“I think it’s time for all parties to tame their tongues, lower the temperature, and let healing begin,” Anderson said. “… I won’t add to that by speaking further on the Capitol tragedy during an extraordinarily divisive time in the life of our country. The war of words about [the Jan. 6] tragedy must cease so that investigations may proceed, facts are established, and truth has emerged.”

Candidates for Va. After U.S. Capitol siege, Wittman objects to counting Pa. electoral votes governor react to U.S. Capitol attack

By Daniel Berti hours after a Times Staff Writer

U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman joined more than 100 other House Republicans early Thursday morning in a failed motion to stop the certification of Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes won by President-elect Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

The objection failed to pass the House 138-282. Wittman, R-1st, was joined by Virginia Republican Reps.

Bob Good (5th), Morgan Griffith (9th) and Ben Cline (6th) in the effort to reject Pennsylvania’s electoral votes.

Congress went on to confirm Biden’s electoral college win in the early hours of the morning.

Wittman said in a Thursday press release that he voted against certifying Pennsylvania’s electors because he believes there were “unconstitutional changes to the administration of the 2020 general election” in Pennsylvania.

Wittman said he believes that there is clear evidence “that Pennsylvania failed to follow the laws and constitutional tenets that govern its elections,” but did not respond to inquiries Thursday morning about what evidence he is referring to.

Some Republican members of the House and Senate also challenged Biden’s electoral college victory in Arizona. Wittman did not object to Biden’s win in Arizona. The effort was voted down by large margins in both chambers.

The confirmation of Biden’s electoral college win came nearly 12

pro-Trump mob stormed and held the U.S. Capitol building for several hours earlier in the day, forcing Rep. Rob Wittman members of the House and Senate to evacuate the chambers and delaying the session.

Pro-Trump supporters smashed windows and trashed the offices of some congressional members. A woman attempting to climb through one of the broken windows inside the Capitol building was shot and killed by Capitol police.

Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police reported that more than 50 arrests were made Jan. 6, and four deaths were reported, including the woman shot by police. The other three deaths were reportedly caused by “medical emergencies” experienced by pro-Trump supporters during the incident.

Wittman said in a Thursday morning press release that he condemned the “violence and destruction” that occurred at the U.S. Capitol and called the takeover of the Capitol, a “blemish on this nation.”

“We may disagree on policy and who we support for President, but this country is built on law and order,” Wittman said. “We must continue to stand for the great American tradition of peaceful disagreement and debate rather than anarchy and violence.”

GOP divide deepens as Dems call for Trump’s early ouster

By Graham Moomaw

During the Black Lives Matter protests last summer, former Virginia House Speaker Kirk Cox recorded a video in front of the boarded-up state Capitol building, calling the sight a tragic failure of “Democratic leadership.”

“I should say maybe, a lack of leadership,” he said at the time, praising a massive armed demonstration by gun rights groups earlier in the year and going on to accuse Democrats of “hurting law enforcement” by pursuing criminal justice reforms.

After the U.S. Capitol building was attacked by supporters of President Donald Trump who battled with police Wednesday, Cox, a Republican now running for governor in what will be one of the first major elections of the post-Trump era, was less direct in placing blame at the top.

In a statement, Cox called on Trump to tell his supporters to “leave the Capitol immediately.” He stopped short of faulting the president, who continues to falsely claim the election was stolen, for the mob that stormed the halls of Congress.

“Anyone who rightly spoke out against lawlessness and violence last summer cannot with integrity be silent now,” Cox said. “We all have a duty to speak up.”

Clockwise: Governor candidates Del. Kirk Cox, state Sen. Amanda Chase, Del. Lee Carter, Jennifer Carroll Foy. After positioning themselves as the law-and-order party heading into an important gubernatorial election year, Virginia Republicans are now dealing with a political riot arising from their own party’s ranks, one that has Democrats again calling for Trump to be removed from office with just a few weeks left in his term.

Asked if Cox agrees with those on the left and right who feel Trump should be removed early, Cox campaign spokeswoman Kristen Bennett said Cox “believes the best thing for our country now would be for everyone to take a deep breath over the next two weeks and for President Trump to ensure a peaceful and orderly transfer of power to President-elect Biden.”

ROSIE’S, from page 1 graphics, letters and dollar signs. The machine Kay and Bonner were playing featured a lion-headed serpent and a muscular warrior with a long black ponytail. Tiny video screens at the top of the screen showed snippets of past horse races, but exactly how the races drove the machine’s “pay lines” – the way the graphics line up to make a jackpot – is hard to discern.

Kay, however, seemed to have it all figured out.

“I won $120!” she exclaimed during a break from the game. Her friend Bonner was less enthusiastic. “I only won $21, and I played it all back,” she said with a laugh.

Kay wore a matching black masks from the grocery store where they work and said they felt safe inside Rosie’s, even though health experts have long warned against congregating indoors with strangers during the pandemic.

“I feel safe. I’ve got my mask on. I deal with a bunch of people every day [at work] so this isn’t any different,” Kay said. Both said they have so far avoided getting sick. “Praise God!” Bonner added.

The two were among about 100 people checking out Rosie’s for the first time on Jan. 8. Most were middle-age or older. Some said they drove from as far as Fredericksburg or Stafford County.

Others said they lived nearby.

Debbie Underwood, of Dumfries, said she sometimes drives down to the Rosie’s Gaming Emporium in New Kent County outside Richmond to try her luck. On Friday, she brought her 91-year-old dad, Edward Dent, also of Dumfries, to check out the new Rosie’s at Triangle Plaza.

Wary of the pandemic, she said she told her dad they’d leave if it were too crowded. But there were plenty of empty chairs when they arrived at 10:30 a.m., and Underwood said she felt safe.

“I think it’s great. We need something like this in Dumfries,” Underwood said. “It brings the revenue here to Dumfries.”

Rosie’s brings 120 jobs, $720,000 in annual taxes to Dumfries

Revenue – and the chance to earn it, win it and tax it – was the main reason Dumfries voters and town council members agreed to allow Rosie’s to open its fifth off-track betting and historical horse-race betting salon in Dumfries – even amidst the pandemic.

Rosie’s Gaming Emporium, which is owned by the hose racetrack Colonial Downs, opened its first four locations in Richmond, Hampton, New Kent and Vinton in quick succession in 2019, after the Virginia General Assembly passed a law in 2018 allowing pari-mutuel betting as part of a deal to revive live horse racing in Virginia. Colonial Downs told lawmakers the revenue it makes through its Rosie’s Gaming Emporium outlets would help fuel the purses offered at the live racetrack.

In November 2019, Dumfries voters approved a ballot referendum allowing pari-mutuel betting CANDIDATES, from page 3 published several social media posts defending attendees as justifiably angry, mostly peaceful “patriots,” as well as spreading baseless theories about the protest being hijacked by antifa. Unlike Cox, she has not acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden as the rightful winner.

Democrats have responded with universal outrage after the invasion of the Capitol, which occurred as lawmakers met to certify Biden’s victory. More than 50 police officers were hurt during the melee, officials said, and one Trump supporter was fatally shot by police as she tried to force her way into a secure area of the building.

in the town of Dumfries, laying the groundwork for the new Dumfries location. Colonial Downs worked for months remodeling the site in the aging Triangle Shopping Plaza. Ahead of the opening, the company said it had made a “$27 million investment” in Dumfries, adding about 120 jobs with an “average salary and benefits” package topping $42,000, according to a press release.

The operation is estimated to generate about $3.6 million in taxes annually, about $720,000 of which will go to the town of Dumfries, the release said.

Mayor Derrick Wood, who was at the pre-opening ribbon-cutting Friday morning, said the company spent $15 million renovating the storefront.

“I’m excited. That shows me they’re committed. It shows me they’re in it for the long haul,” Wood said. “It’s also a shopping center that hasn’t had any improvements in the last 30 to 40 years.”

Wood said he hoped the Rosie’s would not only bring in more tax revenue to the town but also spur economic development. He said he was also impressed that Colonial Downs had already cut checks totaling $76,500 to five local nonprofits, including the Dumfries Boys and Girls Club; Paws for Purple Hearts, an animal rescue organization focused on veterans; the Prince William County Community Foundation, which helps distribute free meals to low-income kids; and two alumni fraternities.

“Today was their first day opening and they’re already giving back to the community. I mean, who does that? Who gives money away on their first day?” Wood said in an interview.

Pandemic ‘wasn’t in the plan’

What neither Wood, nor Dumfries voters, nor Colonial Downs could anticipate was opening the new Rosie’s during the pandemic. COVID-19 shut down the other Rosie’s locations around the state for two months last spring when Gov. Ralph Northam closed in-person dining. The opening of the Dumfries location was delayed by a few months; Colonial Downs initially planned to open last fall.

“It wasn’t in the plan,” Rick Casagrande, general manager of the Dumfries Rosie’s said of opening during the pandemic in an interview last week.

The new Rosie’s held its grand opening amid a week that saw some of the highest numbers of COVID-19 cases of the pandemic, both in the state and in Prince William County. The local percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests – a measure of community spread of the virus – was hovering near 20%, well above the target rate of 5%.

At least one local elected official publicly questioned the wisdom of opening Rosie’s during the pandemic. School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef, an ophthalmologist and strong proponent for reopening public schools despite the pandemic, expressed his frustration in a Facebook post.

“It is sad and embarrassing when our society can prioritize in-person gambling (I mean ‘gam-

“Bluntly, this was a Donald Trump-inspired disaster,” U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told reporters Thursday, Jan. 7.

Both Kaine and U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., have called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, deeming Trump unfit for office and removing him from the presidency. Several Virginia Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have said they’ll support efforts to impeach Trump a second time.

Gov. Ralph Northam, who deployed the Virginia National Guard and 200 state troopers to help restore order in D.C., said he would extend his order through Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

“In case it wasn’t already clear:

ing’ [eye-rolling emoji]) over in-person school for our children,” he wrote.

Earlier in the week, Casagrande stressed the many steps Rosie’s is taking to enhance safety. Although the facility is approved for 150 betting machines, it opened with 94 to separate each by a few feet and panes of plexiglass. There are mandatory temperature checks when patrons arrive, and no one who measures above 100.4 is admitted. Face masks are required for all who enter. Also, Rosie’s is closing at midnight to comply with Northam’s curfew instead of the usual 2 a.m. on weekdays and 4 a.m. on weekends, Casagrande said.

Occupancy is limited to 30%, meaning only 134 patrons are allowed in at one time instead of the regular 400 maximum. Roving security personnel, as well as multiple surveillance cameras, continually scan the floor to monitor for social distancing, Casagrande said.

Guests may only remove their masks in the eating area, which is upstairs and away from the betting machines. Patrons can also remove their masks in the smoking area: a separate, walled-off room that guests must enter through a glass door.

In Virginia, both restaurants and gambling outlets are allowed to have smoking areas as long as they are separated and don’t require guests to walk through them to enter.

At Rosie’s only entrance, armed security guards check patrons’ IDs, and guests must also pass through a metal detector. No guns or weapons are allowed onsite even if patrons have concealed carry permits, according to Mark Hubbard, a Colonial Downs spokesman.

Rosie’s is following all state and federal CDC guidelines required of businesses of its kind. That includes having a contact-tracing system for employees, if one of them tests positive. The company is not required to contact patrons regarding positive COVID-19 cases, Hubbard said.

Wood, Dumfries mayor, said Friday he can’t be more concerned about Rosie’s Gaming Emporium being open than he is about the operation of retail outlets such as Walmart or Dollar General.

“If I have qualms with [Rosie’s], I’d have to have qualms about every other business that’s open for business right now,” Wood said. “They’re a business and they’ve gone over and above what the CDC recommends.”

On Friday, when an older gentleman pulled his mask below his chin while playing one of the betting machines, Laquia Campbell, an HR manager who happened to be on the floor, sent a Rosie’s team member over to politely request that he pull up his mask.

Meanwhile, a red-shirted Rosie’s staff member armed with disinfectant and a cleaning rag promptly wiped down a nearby machine when a patron rose to leave.

“We definitely want to keep Dumfries open and everyone healthy and safe,” Campbell said.

“Safety is our main priority.”

the current president poses a danger to our country every minute he holds office,” Northam said on Twitter.

“The sooner he is out, the better.”

Though Virginia Republicans have condemned the violence, few in positions of power have faulted Trump for instigating it.

After the Capitol was shut down, the state’s four Republican congressmen lent further credence to claims the election was stolen by voting unsuccessfully to reject some electoral college votes cast for Biden from other states.

Some Republicans, most notably Chase, have excused the events in D.C. as an understandable response from Trump supporters upset over the election outcome.

“I support peaceful protest,” Chase said in a Facebook video posted Wednesday, Jan. 6. “But I’m telling you, when you back the people of Virginia and across the United States of America into a corner, you will end up with a revolution. And I believe that’s what you’re starting to see.”

Walts recommends delay for in-person learning for 4th to 12th graders

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County students in the fourth through 12th grades would have to wait until late April to attend school in person under the revised timeline Superintendent Steven Walts proposed early Thursday, Jan. 7.

In response to rising local COVID-19 infections and with hope that teachers might be vaccinated by early spring, Walts presented a new timeline for returning students to in-person instruction during a marathon school board meeting that stretched to nearly 3 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 7.

Under his proposal, students in the second and third grades would return to schools as scheduled on Jan. 12 and 13.

But those in fourth grade through high school would wait until the fourth quarter begins after spring break, with grades four, five, six and nine returning on April 20 and the remaining high school grades returning on April 27. Those students were originally scheduled to return to schools in late January and early February.

Whether Prince William County School Board will accept those changes, however, remains an open question.

After discussing pandemic issues for about five hours Wednesday night, the school board voted at about 2:20 a.m. to revisit the return-to-school timeline during a special meeting set for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 12.

Walts made his new recommendation at about midnight during the Jan. 6, school board meeting after a lengthy discussion about rising levels of COVID-19 in the community and the school division’s process for accommodating teachers who have documented health conditions that place them at a greater risk for severe complications of COVID-19.

The school division has at least 692 such “Tier 1” teachers, many of whom would have to return to school buildings to teach if thousands more students returned for in-person classes.

Prince William County’s high local infection rate of COVID-19, and the risks the virus poses to Tier 1 teachers, have been major points of community debate regarding when students should return for in-person instruction.

Prince William County was the only school division in Northern Virginia to begin the school year Sept. 8 with in-school instruction for some vulnerable students. It was also the only school division in the Washington region that did not revert to all-virtual instruction right before or after winter break, due to rising COVID-19 cases.

During Wednesday’s discussion, school division officials revealed that 148 students and 118 staff members have tested positive for the novel coronavirus between Dec. 15 and Jan. 5 alone. That’s on top of the more than 400 cases logged prior to Dec. 15.

meeting, which was approved unanimously.

The board further decided to limit public comment time to an hour and take all other public comment via email, which would be allowed because it’s a special meeting, said school board attorney Mary McGowan.

It’s not clear how or if the school board will vote to change Walts’ plan, as no particular ideas were discussed during the meeting except perhaps bringing fourth-, fifth- and possibly sixth-graders into school buildings before spring break and all other students immediately after.

But Walts cautioned board members that bringing middle and high school students back into schools would require major scheduling changes, mostly because of the need to make multiple bus runs to accommodate social distancing and make up for a lack of bus drivers. Under the expected changes, high schools would revert to their regular 7:30 a.m. starting time, while middle schools would begin around 8:45 a.m. and elementary schools about an hour later. The timeline would likely put the youngest students in school until late in the afternoon.

Bringing students back into schools could also require teacher changes related to accommodations for Tier 1 teachers. But Walts said he hoped vaccinations would make those changes less necessary if the school board agrees to wait until April.

Walts cautioned that such changes would be “disruptive” and “chaotic” if made during the middle of a quarter.

Under Walts’ plan, the change would come after the beginning of the fourth quarter, which starts April 6.

School custodian dies of COVID-19 lieve the custodian became infected with the virus at school, Gulotta said.

“We were provided information that she had close contact with someone outside of school that had COVID-19,” Gulotta said in an email.

News of the custodian’s death came as the school division welcomed thousands more students into the school buildings as its hybrid learning model expanded to include second- and third-grade students. They returned to schools on Jan. 12 for the first time since last March.

The news also precedes the school board’s special meeting, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Jan. 12, to discuss Superintendent Steven Walts’ latest change to in-school learning plans.

Walts recommended on Jan. 6 that students in the fourth through 12th grades not return to schools until April 20 at the earliest, in part to allow teachers and staff to begin receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.

Teachers and staff are now eligible for vaccines and are set to begin receiving them on Jan. 28, Prince William Health Department Director Dr. Alison Ansher told the Manassas City Council Monday night.

As they await vaccines, jail staff reports a new COVID-19 outbreak

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Another COVID-19 outbreak was reported Monday at the Prince William-Manassas jail with five staff members and two inmates infected, according to jail officials. None have been hospitalized.

There are currently 620 people being held at the facility, according to the jail’s Director of Support Services Maj. Amanda Lambert.

Staff at the jail are now eligible to be vaccinated under Virginia’s “phase 1b” vaccination group. Lambert said Monday morning that the jail has had a preliminary conversa-

tion with the Prince William Health District regarding vaccinations but has not yet established a date or time.

“We do not currently have a date or who will be administering the vaccination to staff,” Lambert said.

Prince William Health District, which includes the county and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, is one of 11 Virginia health districts moving into the next phase of vaccinations. Under “1b,” frontline essential workers, like police, fire and correctional facility personnel are eligible to receive the vaccine.

The current outbreak at the jail is the second to occur there since the pandemic began. The first happened

last spring and infected a total of 89 inmates and staff. The National Guard was deployed to assist the local health department in testing everyone held at the jail at that time.

The jail has since made efforts to prevent future outbreaks, including limiting visitation and creating quarantine areas within the jail.

Steps have been taken by the county commonwealth’s attorney office and local judges to reduce the population of the jail as a precaution against the spread of the disease.

In Virginia, correctional facilities are second only to long-term care centers when it comes to deadly outbreaks of COVID-19. There

Prince William-Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center have been at least 12,810 cases of COVID-19 reported at correctional facilities across the state leading to 40 deaths, according to the Virginia Department of Health website.

Prince William Times | January 13, 2021

This is the moment. History is watching We must condemn the traitors who attacked and defiled the U.S. Capitol and the sedition of the president who fanned them to action. But we must also not paint blame with too broad a brush.

This attack was not an attack by one political party nor an attack by all Trump voters. We saw proof of that in the bipartisan condemnations on the Senate floor that night and in the comments online and in the press in the following days.

The blame and guilt for this attack on our country rests squarely on those who forcibly infiltrated the Capitol

and by those who enabled, encouraged or condoned it (or who condone it today). That is where the guilt lies.

They deserve our ire and contempt.

If I were still a Trump supporter before this insurrection, today is the day I would unhitch from that horse and stand up for our republic.

One need not abandon one’s every belief or conviction, but good God, let this gelding go.

This is the moment. History is watching. It is not too late.

KIRK GOOLSBY Warrenton

America will weather this storm It’s a sad day for America when all 10 of our living former secretaries of defense feel compelled to release a letter saying the [presidential] election is over, Joe Biden has legally won, and the military should not be used to intervene in the election. Think about the American reality that prompted such an op-ed piece.

In their letter, they take great pains to point out that they, and those in the military have sworn “an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We did not swear it to an individual or a party.”

Seven of the 10 signers are Republicans or served under Republican presidents. Two of them, James Mattis and Mark Esper, served under President Donald Trump himself.

These 10 men have differing views on the direction of America, but none of them believe in any one person holding sway over the Constitution. Their belief is in The United States of America itself. That they felt the need to write and publish this letter says volMITCHELL, from page 1 Asa Mitchell then drove to Fauquier County, where he wrecked the car in the 8700 block Maidstone Road near Rectortown sometime before 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 6, police said.

Mitchell is believed to have then fatally shot Francis Drew, 74, of Markham, described by police as a passing motorist, before turning the gun on himself and taking his own life.

Drew had no connection to the Mitchell family and likely just happened to be in the area when Asa Mitchell wrecked his car. Deputies believe Drew may have stopped to help Mitchell, according to Sgt. Steve Lewis, spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies were called to the scene by another motorist, a teen girl, who found Drew suffering from a gunshot wound. When deputies arrived, they found Drew’s body near his own vehicle, which was parked near Mitchell’s wrecked sedan. Drew was pronounced dead at the scene, Lewis said.

A K-9 team quickly located Mitchell in a wooded area a few hundred yards from his vehicle.

Mitchell was still clutching a hand-

umes about where we are in America today.

Looking across our country right now, I am disheartened at how many of my fellow citizens have taken up the “cause” of one man’s misrepresentations and undocumented charges. His commentary has been continually and increasingly discounted by numerous Republicans. The courts, including many justices appointed by President Trump himself, have also repudiated his calls of fraud.

We, as Americans, need to look past any one person, past any one president, and look to the future of this country. Americans have never sworn an oath to only one individual and never should. I take heart that these former secretaries, and people like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger continue to do the right thing. America will weather this storm and grow from this experience. It will be because people, not Democrats, not Republicans, but Americans, did the right thing.

gun and suffering a gunshot wound to his head, Lewis said.

“Units engaged with [Mitchell]; he was conscious when they encountered him,” Lewis said. “When they went and got closer to him, they were able to secure the weapon and administer CPR, but ultimately he succumbed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Lewis said.

The events leading up to the shooting in the Manassas home remain largely unknown. Police have released few details about the Mitchell family and have not identified the injured family members or their relationship to Asa Mitchell.

The home where the shootings occurred belongs to Eric and Constance Mitchell, who bought it in 2010, according to Prince William County property records.

Attempts to reach neighbors along Ellis Road have so far been unsuccessful. Police say Mitchell used a handgun but have not yet revealed who owned the gun or how it came into Mitchell’s possession.

A few details have emerged about the events in Fauquier County, including from a man who said Asa Mitch-

Develop the ‘rural crescent’?

Not so fast.

To people in the county who believe developing the rural crescent is a good idea… not so fast.

Developing the rural crescent to support higher density housing will require a significant amount of new infrastructure investment in roads, storm water management, sewer, water, and basic needs like fire, rescue, police etc. Millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars.

As a result of that infusion of redirected tax dollars, areas in the county that are in real immediate need of reinvestment due to neglect and general prior poor planning will be left out.

Supervisor Andrea Bailey just recently asked the board of supervisors to approve county funds to fix a private culvert issue in the Montclair community. Because due to poor planning and increased weather events, Montclair residents are dealing with flooding!

We can’t do everything with the tax revenue we raise. How much more money do people want to pay to help developers line their pockets?

Dr. Andrew Bishop, an orthopedic surgeon, said Saturday, Jan. 9, that he narrowly missed being hit

by Mitchell’s car as it sped through The Plains shortly before Mitchell crashed along Maidstone Road.

Bishop was parked on Main Street at 7 p.m. in front of The Bittersweet Garden. He was there to pick up a takeout order from the Rail Stop across the street. He said he checked his rearview mirror to make sure no cars were coming and got out of the driver’s seat but left the car door open for a moment while he spoke to his dog in the back seat.

“I was telling him I’d be right back,” Bishop said.

When he looked up again, he saw headlights coming right at him.

“It was a dark sedan. He must have been going 60 or 70 miles an hour… I pinned myself up against the passenger door. He only missed me by 6 or 7 inches. He hit the open door and basically turned it inside out. He didn’t slow down or stop.

Marshall, Bishop said.

“It was very scary,” he added. “He was just inches away from killing me.”

Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier later confirmed the speeding vehicle was Mitchell’s.

“We are indeed fortunate that there was no further loss of life. The motorist that parked his automobile in The Plains practiced self-awareness, which contributed to his escape from significant injury or death,” Mosier said.

Meanwhile, Victoria Lewis, of Rectortown, said she knew Drew “years ago” when he worked as a maître d’ at the Ashby Inn. Lewis, an architect, described Drew as “a lovely person, very intellectual and sophisticated.”

“He would make these beautiful high-craft wooden bowls. At a time when all my friends were getting married, I’d buy them as wedding presents. We’d sit down together at his house and share a glass of sherry. He would explain the nuance of the sherry and it would go right over my head,” she laughed.

“He made an indelible impression on me. He was just gentle and kind, the epitome of a gentleman,” Lewis said.

EARLY KINKS ON LIVESTREAMING GAMES

Patriot High boys basketball coach Sherman Rivers said he’s hearing mixed reviews on the live broadcasts of games via streaming service. “It’s up and down. Sometimes the score does not register all the time on the screen, but it’s better than nothing,” he said.

Patriot boys basketball targets fourth straight Cedar Run title

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The starting lineup isn’t introduced over the loudspeaker, there are no fans and the players are wearing masks, but at the end of the game the scoreboard is still showing a Pioneers’ win.

The Patriot boys basketball team, which went 20-5 last year and 22-3 in 2019, is off and running again at 5-0, pandemic-restrictions and all.

Last week the three-time defending Cedar Run District regular season champions edged John Champe 79-74 in a showdown of the district’s expected championship contenders.

The Pioneers return seven players from last year, including starters Trey Nelson and Darrel Johnson, who coach Sherman Rivers credited for making clutch free throws in the Champe win.

Nelson is a 5-foot-11 senior point guard who had 24 points and seven assists against Champe, and 22 points and six assists in Monday’s 71-54 win against Unity Reed.

“He’s one of the better guards in the area. He’s a throwback in that he can find the open man and also score,” Rivers said.

Only a junior, the 6-4 Johnson was a second team all-Cedar Run District pick last year as a sophomore.

“He’s a matchup nightmare on the perimeter,” said Rivers, citing his versatility and powerful 210-pound frame. “He gets a lot of attention and is double- and triple-teamed.”

Also back is 6-0 senior guard Chad Watson, a deadly shooter who made 5-of-7 three-pointers in a 75-63 win over Garfield.

Senior guard Ellis Nayeri “is a third-year varsity guy and a big energy guy who’s good on the

glass,” Rivers said. Other contributors include 6-2 sophomore Jacarius Randall and 5-10 junior Mike Ackerman.

Elias Bakatsias is a 6-2 senior who had 14 points against Gar-Field and has emerged as a frequent starter. Junior Nick Marrero is another key player.

Like many teams, Patriot does not have a natural post player, but relies on a number of 6-2 players to handle various duties. “We do not have a true big guy. D.J. (Johnson) can play inside, he’s bigger, but to say he’s a post player is not fair to him,” Rivers said.

Patriot would have had 6-7 Tyler Stringer to help inside, but he transferred to a private school.

Nevertheless, Patriot looks primed and ready for another big year, especially after beating Champe, which returned two all-district first team players in twin guards Jalen and James Jasper. The Pioneers made their first Class 6 tournament appearance in 2019, falling to South County in the quarterfinals, and were ousted in the region semifinals by Massaponax 56-55 in 2020.

“In a year of indecision having a good amount of kids back is important to us,” said Rivers, in his fifth year with the program. Of the pandemic-related adjustments: “It’s not ideal, but in the worst case we would not play at all, and they kids do not want that.”

With no fans, Rivers said it’s easy to coach in the quiet gym: “They’re able to hear me, I’m loud enough.”

Due to the shorter season, Patriot will play just 13 games, with eight in the next 18 days. “It has its perks, but there’s not much practice time. As coaches we want to be able to practice,” Rivers said.

The rematch with Champe is Jan. 22.

Jerry M. Wood Jerry M. Wood, 83, of Warrenton, a retired pharmacist who served in the Virginia House of Delegates and on the town council, died Friday, January 8, 2021, at the Novant Health UVA Prince William Medical Center in Manassas of complications from COVID-19.

He was born April 15, 1937, in Roanoke, to the late Jeannette Jackson Minter Wood and William Howard Wood.

He graduated from Andrew Lewis High School in Salem 1957 and from the Medical College of Virginia School of Pharmacy in 1962.

Mr. Wood worked at pharmacies in Fredericksburg and Culpeper before coming to Warrenton in 1968 to join the Rhodes Drug Store staff. He owned and operated the Fauquier Pharmacy on Main Street from 1972 until he sold his business to Rite Aid in 1992. Mr. Wood continued as a family pharmacist with Rite Aid until his retirement in 2005.

A Democrat, he served as the 31st District member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1991 to 1993, helping ensure growth of the Lord Fairfax Community College campus in Fauquier and the establishment of pari-mutuel horse racing in Virginia. Mr. Wood also served from 2014 to 2020 on the Warrenton Town Council and part of that time on the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission.

He served eight years in the U.S. Navy Reserves.

Active in a range of community activities, Mr. Wood worked with his friend “Buddy” Curtis to establish the Boys & Girls Club of Fauquier in 1997. He also held membership in and/or served with the Virginia Board of Pharmacy, the Virginia Board of Health Professions, the Fauquier County Democratic Committee, the Warrenton Rotary Club, Fauquier Springs Country Club, the Mental Health Association of Fauquier, St. James Episcopal Church, American Legion Post 247, the Warrenton/ Fauquier Optimist Club, Fauquier Community Action and others.

Among many honors, Mr. Wood in 2013 received the VCU/MCV Pharmacy Alumnus Service Award.

Survivors include his wife of 29 years, Coleen M. Kendrick Wood; his children, Gregory Wood of Venice, Fla., Christian Wood and wife April of Mason, Ohio, Julie Wood Murphy and husband Audie of Warrenton, Laura Wood of Sarasota, Fla., Brandon Norris and wife Lauren of Bluffton, S.C., and Ashley Norris of Warrenton and her fiancé, Jesse Noel; his grandchildren, Victoria Wood, Garrett Wood, Blake Wood, Alison Murphy, Brynn Murphy, Josiah Murphy, Maya Wood, Emmy Wood, Zachary Wood, Emma Murphy, Mason Norris, Carter Norris and Desi Noel; a sister, Judy Childress and husband Bill of Seminole, Fla.; a sister-in-law, Monica Wood, and his nephews and nieces.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Bill Wood.

Many remember Mr. Wood for his sense of humor, his devotion to young people and his attention to patients as a trusted community pharmacist. He cherished the opportunity to deliver most of the Warrenton Town Council opening invocations during his tenure and spent hours writing them.

His faith and spirit remained strong even as his health declined. Four days before his death, Jerry referred to an old gospel song, texting to Coleen: “Remember, ‘Every Day Will Be Sunday Bye And Bye’.”

Father Ben Maas conducted a private family service at 11 a.m.

Tuesday, January 12, at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton. A procession followed at noon on Main Street in Old Town Warrenton.

Condolences and memories may be shared in a memorial book in Town Hall at 21 Main St. and/or at www.moserfuneralhome.com.

ELAINE CARPENTER QUASEBARTH Elaine C. Quasebarth, of Fairfax, Virginia, formerly of Nokesville, Virginia, led a life strongly dedicated to family. She died quietly at her residence on January 4, 2021, at the age of 89.

Mrs. Quasebarth was born and raised in Washington, D.C., and graduated from Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, where she excelled in academics and sports. In 1954, she married Werner H. Quasebarth, and supported his career with Atlas Machine & Iron Works, until his retirement in 1998. Together they raised their family in Nokesville, Virginia.

Mrs. Quasebarth was a parishioner of St. John’s Catholic Church, in Warrenton, Virginia, until moving to Fairfax.

Mrs. Quasebarth was noted by all for her charming wit and ambient grace, which led to her being known for decades to many of her children’s generation as “Lady Elaine.” Travel with husband Werner for work and social reasons took her for adventures in Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, and South America, as well as the Montana prairie and by raft through the Grand Canyon. Devoted to playing tennis, she rigorously played team competitions at Chestnut Forks in Warrenton, Virginia, playing well into her late-70s.

Mrs. Quasebarth is survived by her children and their wonderful spouses Elise Quasebarth (Steve), Eric Anderson, Christopher Quasebarth (Brenda), Kurt Quasebarth (Cathy), and Gretchen Cassidy (Ian); eight beautiful grandchildren, Elexa, Dashiell (Sunny), Jasper, Griffin (Andi), Madeline, Hollis, Eleanor, and Sylvia; great-grandson Isaiah; and brother Robert Carpenter.

She was predeceased by her husband Werner Quasebarth; infant son, Karl; a brother, Raymond Carpenter; and her parents, Raymond and Pauline Carpenter.

Inurnment will be at Arlington National Cemetery at a future date.

Donations may be made to the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, 34 Washington Street, Ste. 310, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481.

John Franklin Groves Having watched the sun set behind the Blue Ridge Mountains for the final time, John Franklin Groves died at his farm near Lakota, Virginia on January 9, 2021.

He was born at his parents’ Edgewood farm in Bealeton on February 19, 1933. He was the twelfth of Otaway and Pearl Groves’s fourteen children which consisted of seven sons and seven daughters.

Strong, handsome and athletic “Johnnie” graduated from Stuyvesant School in Warrenton where he enjoyed playing on the academy’s baseball and football teams.

After graduation, John married Pearline Messick. They had three loving children, Diane Gulick, Jon Michael Groves, and Melanie Sullivan.

Later in life, John married Frances Smith Hitt and added her loving daughter Crystal Carpenter to the family. Soon after, they had their devoted son Paul Groves. Now the family is three generations and twenty in number.

Throughout his life, John enjoyed hard work. After graduation, he joined his father and brothers working at his parents’ farm. He worked many more years at Groves Hardware, a family-owned business established in 1947 by his father and brothers.

These were his primary jobs, but he also ventured into the car repair business and built and remodeled many homes leading to the realization of his dream, the purchase of a farm of his own beside the Rappahannock River with a western view of the Blue Ridge to enjoy during his retirement.

Johnnie also loved having fun. His forty-year-long Tuesday night poker gigs, the Remington Lions Club, flashy cars, boats, getaways with friends and family at his West Virginia mountain top farm, the Skins, the Nats, his cattle, and anything John Deere all brought him great joy.

Famous for his quick and ready big smile, his humor, and his love of talking with every single person he ever encountered, Johnnie demonstrated living every single day to the fullest. His stoic, gentle submission to the cancer which eventually took his life modeled courage and strength. He never stopped greeting everyone with a smile.

There will be a private family service at his home soon and a celebration of life to follow later this year for his numerous friends and extended family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Remington Lions Club or Heartland Hospice.
