‘She’s just worried about everyone else in there’ Birmingham Green resident speaks out about being hospitalized with COVID-19 after 2 employees test positive

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Sandra Carter started having trouble breathing last week, and over the course of several days it got steadily worse until she felt like she could hardly breathe at all. Next thing she knew, she was in an ambulance and on her way to a nearby emergency room.

Speaking on the phone from an isolated hospital bed at Novant Health UVA Prince William Medical Center on Saturday night, Carter, 80, said she was informed by medical staff a day after she arrived that she had tested positive for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

Carter is the first resident of Willow Oaks Assisted Living in Manassas to speak publicly about testing positive for COVID-19.

Willow Oaks is part of Birmingham Green, a regional long-term care facility that houses low-income seniors and adults with disabilities.

Officials at Birmingham Green had not returned calls for comment as of Monday afternoon. Last Thursday, April 9, Birmingham Green announced that two of its employees had tested positive for the coronavirus. One of the employees works at Willow Oaks where Carter lives, and the other works at the nursing home next door, accord-

Board chair won’t support proposed tax hike Plans to fund staff raises, school needs at risk

When word got out about a critical shortage of personal protective equipment for health care workers caring for patients with COVID-19, Prince William County residents got busy making cloth and plastic masks – hundreds of them.

Who are the local mask-makers? They are local teens and a high school tech-ed teacher who had access to 3-D printers and found templates for masks and face shields online.

They’re also moms, grandmothers and dads who confess to feeling anxious about needing to do something – anything – about the a-once-in-a-lifetime public health crisis unfolding across the country.

The largest group -- about 200 -- was organized by “Indivisible NOVA West,” a group of mostly women who came together in the wake of the 2016 presidential election with the goal of mobilizing support for Democratic

candidates in local, state and federal elections.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the group’s focus expanded. Instead of just turning out the votes, they’re churning out the masks.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors advertised the highest real estate property tax increase in years. Had it been adopted, it would have increased the average residential tax bill in the county by about $28 per month Board of and provided millions more to Supervisors Chair fund the local school division.

Ann Wheeler But as local governments reel from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, a real estate tax hike in Prince William County is looking less likely. Board Chair Ann Wheeler announced Monday, April 13, she would not support any new real estate tax increase for the 2021 fiscal year because of the economic uncertainty caused by the crisis.

BIRMINGHAM, from page 1 “Out of an abundance of caution and medical guidance from our medical director, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and our local health department, those who have had or may have had contact with this individual have been notified and are now following self-isolation guidance as directed from the health agencies and professionals mentioned above,” Wright’s release said.

Wright’s statement said both facilities have taken preventative actions to stop the spread of the virus, including by restricting visitors from entering the facility, placing a hold on new admissions, and canceling all group activities and communal dining within the buildings.

“We are prepared, if necessary, to have residents isolated in accordance to CDC guidance and await instructions from our local health department,” Wright said.

Carter, who said she is diabetic and has suffered from several strokes in recent years, said she is the only resident of the facility to have tested positive for coronavirus. Because of her existing medical conditions, Carter is at especially high risk.

Carter said she already suffers from breathing problems and uses

an oxygen tank at night. She said she started to become concerned when her breathing problems got much worse over the course of two days.

“I was having a hard time breathing during the daytime,” Carter said, something she said she hadn’t dealt with before. “That’s what brought me to the hospital.”

Carter said she alerted nursing staff at Willow Oaks on Thursday that she needed acute medical care and was brought to the hospital. She said she was tested for COVID-19 at the hospital on Friday and moved to a quarantined room on Saturday. All the medical staff who come in and out of her room wear protective equipment, she said.

So far, Carter said she’s feeling better and her breathing has improved, but she’s developed a fever of 101 degrees.

Carter’s daughter, Tammy Beach, who lives in Warrenton, said Sunday that she has been able to speak to her mother on the phone, but has not been allowed to visit. Beach said Saturday she hadn’t yet received any information from hospital staff about her mother’s condition.

“It’s frustrating when someone you love is in the hospital and you can’t see them. I would love to get more information from the doctors about what’s going on,” Beach said.

COUNTY BOARD, from page 1 In a statement released Monday morning, Wheeler, D-At Large, said she has directed County Executive Chris Martino to prepare a budget keeping the real property tax at its current rate of $1.125 per $100 of assessed value.

“I want to provide what sense of stability I can for the people of Prince William County during this difficult time. Therefore, I cannot support the real property tax increase that the current proposed budget, even with adjustments, is constructed on,” Wheeler said in a statement.

Keeping the tax rate flat will likely require the board to make wide-ranging cuts to Martino’s proposed $1.32 billion budget, which had already taken a hit as a result of the current economic climate. At the board’s March 31 meeting, Martino said projected local revenues are expected to drop by about $30 million in 2021.

Keeping the county’s real property tax at its current rate means even less money will be available for the county and the county school system.

“This will mean reductions in many areas and will also impact the funding of our school system,” Wheeler said.

Long-term care facilities report at least 53 outbreaks, 34 deaths

Long-term care and nursing facility residents are at heightened risk for serious complications from the illness because of the close living conditions, their age and the prevalence of preexisting medical conditions.

So far, there have been 53 outbreaks of COVID-19 in Virginia’s long-term senior care facilities, resulting in 554 cases and 34 deaths, according to the Virginia Department of Health.

In Prince William County, VDH is reporting one outbreak at a long-term care facility as of Monday, April 13, but Dr. Alison Ansher, director of the Prince William Health District, said she cannot disclose the name of the facility due to state privacy laws.

Ansher confirmed last week one positive case at the Lake Manassas Health and Rehabilitation Center in Gainesville. On Monday, Ansher said she could not disclose whether that case is the outbreak the VDH reported in the Prince William Health District. In gen-

of $1.17 per $100 of assessed value would have generated $65 million in additional revenue for the county and school division, which would have fully funded the budget the school board approved last month. Martino proposed a budget that would have raised the real estate tax rate to $1.145 per $100 of assessed value, which would have generated $49.8 million in additional revenue. Martino’s original budget fell about $15 million short of fully funding the school division budget, which is why Wheeler chose to advertise the higher rate.

In her statement Monday, Wheeler said she is still supporting other proposed tax increases with the aim of creating additional revenue for the county’s social and community services departments, however.

Wheeler is proposing an increase in the county’s programmable computer equipment and peripherals tax rate, or data center tax, from $1.25 to $1.35 per $100 in assessed value, and an increase in vehicle license fees from $24 to $33 for cars and trucks and from $12 to $20 for motorcycles.

Altogether, the new taxes will generate about $4 million in new funding.

“We cannot ignore the extreme financial impact of the pandemic on the county finances and the increased need we will see for human services,” Wheeler said.

eral, Ansher has declined to comment on specific reports of COVID-19 cases, also due to privacy laws.

Gov. Ralph Northam announced Friday, April 10, the state has created a new task force to respond to outbreaks in senior living facilities across the commonwealth and to ensure such facilities have what they need to prevent further cases.

Northam said the task force will work with facilities to strengthen their staffing and increase infection-control measures, including making sure nursing homes have the testing, personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies that they need.

State Epidemiologist Dr. Laurie Forlano, who will lead the task force, said the task force will track data on the number of cases in Virginia that are in long-term care facilities, as well as the number of deaths in those facilities.

So far, COVID-19 cases in longterm care facilities have accounted for about 55% of the state’s outbreaks, 10% of its overall cases and about 25% of the state’s deaths, Forlano said.

“The taskforce will help ensure that we’re coordinating with our facilities to give them the help and information and supplies they need to protect the people that live there,” Forlano said.

Local unemployment claims swell to more than 17,000

By Daniel Berti

Initial Unemployment Insurance Claimants by County and City Weeks Ending April 4, 2020 Over March 28, 2020 Change

Times Staff Writer

The number of Prince William County residents filing unemployment claims continues to rise, according to the Virginia Employment Commission’s latest report, which was released Thursday.

The update shows that 9,178 unemployment claims were filed by Prince William County workers between Sunday, March 29, and Saturday, April 4, up from 5,823 unemployment claims filed the week before.

The number of claims filed by Prince William County workers between Sunday, March 15, and Saturday, April 4, now totals 17,223, or about 3.7% of the county’s total population.

In the City of Manassas, 874 unemployment claims were filed during the same one-week period, up from 603 a week earlier. The number of claims filed by Manassas workers between Sunday, March 15 and Saturday, April 4 totals 1,675, or about 4% of the city’s total population.

In October 2019, the most recent month for which statistics are available, 243,780 Prince William County residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 2.2 percent, the lowest it has been since 2000, according the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Statewide, unemployment numbers have continued to climb as businesses close or cut hours to comply with Gov. Ralph Northam’s stay-athome order and his earlier mandates for bars and restaurants to close to all but takeout service.

Northam moves to delay May, June elections Staff Reports Gov. Ralph Northam has announced he’ll ask Virginia lawmakers to move the May 5 town elections to November and reschedule the June 9 primary to June 23 because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Moving the May elections will require action by the Virginia General Assembly, Northam said Wednesday, April 8, during his 2 p.m. press briefing. He said lawmakers will take up the matter during their upcoming meeting on Wednesday, April 22, in Richmond.

Voters have already begun casting absentee votes in the May 5 town elections, which are being held to allow Virginia’s towns to fill positions on their town councils.

Absentee ballots already cast in the various races will be thrown out, and voters will be asked to cast new ballots in November, if the General Assembly agrees to reschedule the election, Virginia’s Secretary of Administration Keyanna Conner said during the press briefing.

For the week ending April 4, the total number of unemployment claims filed in Virginia was 147,369.

VEC economist Timothy Aylor, in a Thursday press release, said this brings the sum of March 21, March 28, and April 4 weekly claims filings to 306,143, which equals all of the previous weeks’ claims from 2018, 2019 and 2020 combined.

“While accommodation and food service sectors initially were most affected, impacts have broadened to include more jobs in other sectors like manufacturing, transportation, and even certain types of health care,” Aylor said.

The VEC announced Wednesday that several changes were being made to the state’s unemployment market, Occoquan and Quantico have elections scheduled for Tuesday, May 5.

The Town of Haymarket has a contested race for the mayor’s office Gov. Ralph as well as 10 canNortham didates vying for six slots on the Haymarket Town Council.

In Quantico, Mayor Kevin Brown is running unopposed. There are nine candidates vying for five seats on the Quantico Town Council.

In Occoquan, Mayor Earnie Porta is running unopposed. There are five candidates for five seats on the town council.

The Dumfries Town Council was already planning to hold its elections in November.

Northam further said he will move reschedule the June 9 primary to June 23. The primary is being held for political parties to select their nominees in congressional and city council elections scheduled for November.

In Prince William County, Democrats have primaries on the June ballot to pick their nominees in the 1st District and 11th District congressional races and in the Manassas City Council race.

insurance program as a result of the CARES Act, which is part of the $2 trillion stimulus package Congress passed on Thursday, March 26.

Normally, Virginia offers laid off workers up to $380 per week in unemployment benefits.

The CARES Act provides up to an additional $600 for claims effective Sunday, March 29, until Friday, July 31. Increased benefits for eligible claimants under traditional unemployment insurance will start to be paid as soon as next week.

The federal stimulus package will

also result in one-time payments to millions of Americans. Adults who make less than $75,000 a year are slated to receive the full $1,200 benefit. Married couples will receive up to $2,400, and families will receive $500 per child they claim on their tax returns.

The amount of emergency benefit decreases for those who make more than $75,000. Individuals earning more than $99,000, and couples making more than $198,000 after taxes do not qualify.

Northam signs Del. Lee Carter’s bill capping insulin copays at $50 a month Virginia will have the 4th lowest insulin cap in the U.S.

By Will Gonzalez

Capital News Service

RICHMOND -- Gov. Ralph Northam recently signed a bill to cap the costs of prescription insulin copays at $50 per month, one of the lowest caps in the country.

House Bill 66, sponsored by Del. Lee Carter, D-50th, of Manassas, originally aimed to cap the costs of prescription insulin copays at $30 per month. By the time the bill passed the Senate, the cap was amended to $50 per month.

Cheers and applause roared through the chamber when the bill seemed poised to unanimously pass the House, until a lone delegate, Matthew Fariss, R-59th, of Rustburg, changed his vote and groans replaced the cheers. But they still had something to celebrate: Virginia will have the country’s fourth-lowest insulin cap.

“For people that have diabetes, they tend to be on anywhere from five to eight medications. So even if they have good health insurance, paying copays anywhere from $5 or $10 per prescription adds up very quickly,” said Evan Sisson, professor at the VCU School of Pharmacy and vice-chairperson of the Virginia Diabetes Council. “So to be able to cap [insulin] is a huge benefit for patients.”

The Virginia Department of Health estimated in 2017 that 631,194 or 9% of Virginians have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

The bill prohibits health insurance providers from charging a copay over $50 for a one-month supply, or from allowing or requiring a pharmacy to charge any more. The bill incorporates HB 1403, which was introduced by Del. James A. Leftwich, R-78th, of Chesapeake, and shares the same wording as Carter’s bill, but the copay amount was capped at $100.

“This bill is aimed at providing relief for those folks who have health insurance but can’t afford to use it, that is a vast swath of Virginia’s population,” Carter said during a Senate committee hearing.

Insulin prices have risen so much in recent years that some diabetics have resorted to rationing their insulin or traveling to Canada where the drug is much cheaper. According to Sisson, for someone with diabetes, especially Type 2, a lack of insulin can lead to major complications, and even be a matter of life or death.

“What the body does is it kicks

into looking for other sources of energy other than glucose, and it starts to produce more fat,” Sisson said. “If you have more fat f loating in the Del. Lee Carter bloodst ream, then you end up with more hardening of the arteries of atherosclerosis. What that means is you have higher blood pressure, and higher risk of heart attack or stroke.”

According to the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, approximately 30 million Americans suffer from diabetes, with that number increasing by about 1.5 million every year.

Prior to the advent of insulin in the 1920s, someone diagnosed with diabetes was expected to die in a matter of months, with restrictive dieting extending that to as long as a couple of years. When Canadian researchers completed the development of insulin in 1922, they sold the patent to the University of Toronto for $1, hoping that everyone who was affected by diabetes would be able to benefit from the life-saving drug.

Since then, the price has constantly increased, dramatically so over the past few decades. In 2009, a 10 milliliter vial of insulin cost between $90 and $100. Today, that same vial will cost between $250 and $300, even though little about the drug has changed.

When HB 66 was sent to the governor, only two other states in the U.S. had hard caps for insulin copays. The first to introduce one was Colorado in May 2019, and the second was Illinois in January, both states have their caps at $100 per month.

In March, governors of six other states signed legislation capping the price of insulin. New Mexico, Utah and Maine set their caps lower than Virginia’s at $25, $30 and $35, respectively. West Virginia, Washington and New York will set caps at $100.

The new cost in Virginia will be reflected in insurance plans starting Jan. 1, 2021, coinciding with plans purchased during the next round of open enrollment, Carter wrote on Twitter.

He added, “The fact that it had to be done this way is a reflection of how generally screwed up our health care system is.”

Pandemic week 4: COVID-19 kills 10 in Prince William, cases rise to 508 Staff Reports COVID-19 is now tied to at least 10 deaths in the Prince William Health District, according to a new, more detailed report released by the Virginia Department of Health this week.

Prince William County reported a total of 508 cases as of Tuesday, April 14, more than doubling over the past week. The City of Manassas reported 49 cases in Tuesday’s report, while Manassas Park reported 13 cases.

VDH reports this week showed the number of COVID-19 deaths by health district for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began.

The report does not, however, provide more detailed information about the 10 Prince William County residents whose deaths have been attributed to COVID-19, such as their ages, gender, or where they live in the county.

The Prince William Health Dis-

trict has had at least 61 people hospitalized with COVID-19 and at least 2,710 people tested for it as of Tuesday, April 14, the report said.

Also, the county health district has had at least two “outbreaks” of COVID-19, one in a long-term care facility and one in an “educational setting.” The report, however, gives no specifics regarding the location of the outbreaks.

Virginia added 424 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday for a new tally of 6,171 cases and 154 deaths across the state.

Also for the first time this week, the VDH broke down the total number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in Virginia by age group.

The report reiterates how deadly COVID-19 has been to senior citizens. Of the state’s 154 deaths, 138, or 89%, have been reported among

Assembly-line strategy

As of Monday night, volunteers organized by Indivisible NOVA West had cut, ironed and stitched more than 2,000 masks, which had been donated to 29 local health care facilities and “countless” individual health care workers, according to organizer Marilyn Karp, of Haymarket.

Karp, who is perhaps best known for by her nickname, “Grandma Resistance,” and for streaking her gray tresses with shocks of blue, purple and pink, got the effort started about three weeks ago with a Facebook page dubbed, “Marilyn’s Medical Masks for Healthcare Providers.”

She uses the page to raise money and to keep the group informed of their progress.

As of Saturday, April 11, they’d raised more than $3,000 for materials and added to an already long list of recipients, which included Birmingham Green nursing home, Inova Gainesville, Fairfax Hospital, the Virginia Cancer Center, Burke Rehab, Brookside nursing home and local hospice nurses.

Now, they’re making masks for local military personnel. According to guidance from Secretary of Defense Mike Esper, military members and their families should wear masks outside their homes and on the job when they cannot maintain social distancing.

But the military did not provide any masks. Now, Karp and her crew are scrounging for fabric in military-approved camouflage prints as well as solid navy, tan and olive green.

They expect to keep fighting the spread of COVID-19 one mask at a time throughout the summer and maybe into the fall.

“We will not give up. We keep adding more sewers, cutters, etc. We are in dire need of elastic. Nobody has any,” Karp said Monday. “We will find a way. We’re smart, we’re motivated and we’re pissed beyond words.

While it may not seem so, America is still the greatest country in the world because of people like us.”

Karp, however, is quick to admit she doesn’t know how to sew. Instead, she’s the head fundraiser and supply-purchaser for the group. Fellow organizer Mindy Diepenbrock, of Bristow, also does not sew, but she and her husband, Tom, contribute by washing, ironing and cutting fabric to make mask kits, which they place in plastic bins in their driveway.

The seamstresses they’ve recruited – mostly neighbors and friends – pick up the kits and bring back the masks once they are finished. Volunteer drivers ferry the finished masks to the health care facilities. The operation is like a “contact-free” assembly line, Diepenbrock said.

Biah Kachele, also of Bristow, is one of the group’s sewers. She’s a government contractor working from home while trying to keep an eye on two teenagers. During spring break last week, the family had planned to go to Key West. Instead, Kachele was hunched over her sewing machine for hours each night.

“I think I’m close to 200” masks, Kachele said, explaining that it takes her about 10 minutes to finish each one.

“I see the news, and I know there’s a huge need for [masks], and I’m trying to do my little part to help,” she said last week. “Hopefully, it will help.”

Diepenbrock also juggles a full-time job – she’s a pediatric occupational therapist – and has two high-school-age daughters. She squeezes the washing and ironing in between telehealth appointments with her young clients.

“I have a lot of family members who are doctors, and I was really getting anxious and I wanted to do something,” Diepenbrock said.

“Their ICUs are getting full, and people are dying. I worry for them.”

Laura Cowell, who lives in nearby Bridlewood, is keeping track of the requests the group receives from local health care facilities. Birmingham Green wanted 500 and then another 1,000. Mary Washington Hospital has also requested hundreds of masks, Cowell said.

When school closed for the year in mid-March, Castro knew he had several spools of plastic filament in his engineering classroom that would likely be too old for his students to use next fall.

Castro found designs for 3-D printed masks online and asked his principal if he could bring home the school’s 3-D printers and remaining plastic filament. As of last week, Castro said he had the machines running about 10 hours a day to churn out

plastic masks, face shields and plastic neck bands, which hold the masks’ elastic straps, making them more comfortable to wear. So far, he’s outfitted some first responders as well as school division employees who have been handing out free breakfasts and lunches outside 19 local schools.

Castro said he has raised more than $4,600 through his GoFundMe page to buy more materials. He uses the money to buy plastic filament as well as high-grade air-conditioner filters, which he cuts in pieces to cover the respiratory openings in the masks. His goal is to make and assemble about 100 masks every four days, he said.

“I’m going to make them until we no longer need them,” he said. “… I don’t want to hear any more stories about the people in our Emergency Rooms not having enough equipment. Until that stops, I will keep making them and giving them out to whoever wants them.”

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | April 15, 2020

Now that COVID-19 wrecked the budget, leaders must work together on Plan B Back on Feb. 12, we urged the Prince William Board of County Supervisors to fund the extra $31.4 million Superintendent Steven Walts and the School Board requested from county coffers to fully fund what was a historic new budget for local schools.

The world has undoubtedly flipped upside down since the economy-shattering COVID-19 pandemic.

But before we get to that, let’s take a moment to remember why the school division budget was such a big deal.

As you might recall, the budget for next school year marked the first time in Walts’ 16-year tenure that he presented a budget to fund what he said the school division actually needs rather than a budget that fit neatly into county’s revenue projections. As a result, his spending plan asked for $54 million more in county funding, which was about $31 million more than the school division was slated to receive under the revenue-sharing agreement.

Walts’ spending plan would have used $44.7 million to give teachers and staff raises of about 4.8%, which included both step raises and a costof-living increases -- two things that haven’t happened in the same year since before the Great Recession.

Another $5.1 million would have matched state funding to add 20 new preschool classes for low-income children, which would have been the largest single-year increase in the history of the program.

Another $5.5 million was to be directed toward programs for economically disadvantaged students.

The school division also sought to add 60 badly needed new positions, including 11 social workers, a school psychologist and 50 full-time special education assistants.

School board members had also planned to spend $1.3 million to raise school bus driver pay, and they shifted some funds at the last minute to give more generous raises to some of their lowest paid employees: temporary aides and substitute teachers.

Now, however, much of that might not happen.

On Monday, Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, said she can’t support raising the real-estate property tax rate to fully fund the school division budget. Wheeler said it’s more prudent to keep the real-estate property tax rate flat – at its current $1.125 per $100 in assessed value – to provide residents some stability in amid the whiplash of daily events.

Even with a flat tax rate, residents’ annual tax bills will still rise by about 4%, given an increase in real-estate values over the past year. But keep-

ing the tax rate flat will likely mean the school division will receive at least $30 to $40 million less than the school board asked for. The county government will similarly have $20 to $30 million less to spend.

Given this new reality, the school board and the board of supervisors will have to make difficult choices about what to eliminate from both the county and school division budgets.

Among the reasons this will be difficult is that both had yet to recover from years of slim budgets in the wake of the Great Recession.

The county had fallen behind in pay for its public safety officers and its teachers as well as its investments in human services, among other things.

As the supervisors begin to dig into their budget work this week, we urge that they work with the school board look at the county’s needs collectively, rather than as two separate buckets.

It could be that some aspect of county services, such as positions to help residents apply for food stamps or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, should take precedence over additional public safety positions.

Similarly, perhaps the school division could delay spending on new artificial turf fields to retain the raises for our lowest paid school division employees.

It would be wonderful to give our teachers and county workers at least small raises next year to keep them from falling further behind our surrounding jurisdictions.

Perhaps it’s time to consider dipping into the county’s generous emergency reserve funds to pay whatever the school board members and supervisors deem priorities.

After all, COVID-19 is an emergency. If residents ever needed extra help from our schools and county services, the time is now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

College students need coronavirus relief checks, too I have been made aware that I am ineligible for financial support from the government during this time of crisis because of my status as a dependent.

I am over 18 and a full-time college student only making money occasionally with side jobs here and there, however due to social isolation I am no longer able to make any money. Although I am still a dependent of my parents, I still have expenses such as gas, text books,

and other college materials.

I believe it is negligent and irresponsible to decide that dependents over 18 such as full-time college students are undeserving of any financial support during this time.

I would argue that people that fit this description such as myself are some of the most vulnerable people during this time and not helping them is a betrayal of public trust.

IAN RATLIFF Midland

For examples of resilience, look to the past My mind runs a million miles an hour these days in some state of near panic. What did comfort me this morning was chatting with my mom on the phone. She shared with me today how things where when she was growing up.

She was born during the Depression on a farm in nearby Prince William County and has lived in Warrenton since 1954. She experienced quarantines for scarlet fever, which she had, polio and tuberculosis, which ran rampant in those days.

She was 10 years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed. They had ration coupons for tea, coffee, flour and the like. Fuel was rationed based on a number you were assigned. Doctors who made house calls got the highest numbers and those on farms the lowest. It was all

about who needed the most fuel for the good of others.

They lived off what they had; they stayed on the farm because they were directed to; and they didn’t even think about what they didn’t have. They didn’t have running water in the house. They didn’t have a TV or a phone, much less the internet or computers or Netflix or Amazon.

I asked her how they did manage, and she said to me: “Well, we just did because that was the only thing to do. There was no debating any other option.”

They put their minds to just doing what they could do and each day they woke up to doing just that.

Days and weeks became months.

Area wineries struggle to survive amid coronavirus pandemic

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

If ever there was a time to buy a bottle of Virginia wine, it’s now.

After 40 years of robust growth, the 26 winery owners in Fauquier County and others around the state are faced with a make-it-or-lose-it scenario that will unfold over the next several months due to COVID-19.

The emotional and financial pain facing these small business owners reflects that of millions of businesses nationwide. But seeing a vibrant sector of the local economy go up in smoke is almost unimaginable given where winers were just two months ago.

“We will not grow grapes or make wine this year,” said Brian Roeder, owner of Barrel Oak Winery in Delaplane. “I think we are going to lose at least half of the wineries in Virginia, probably more.”

Roeder said he will block fruit production of his healthy vines by pulling the flowers on the young buds.

Roeder said he thinks it’s not just “hobby” or boutique wineries that are at risk, but at least 20 percent of businesses that produce large case volumes for sale to individuals, wine shops and restaurants.

On March 10, Roeder realized it was going to be a monumental challenge to survive the financial hit facing his business and initiated a plan to remain viable. He laid off all 60 of his employees. Some have offered to assist him gratis during the crisis. “We have a wonderful group of people here,” he said.

Not wishing to encourage his customers to leave their homes, Roeder has not taken advantage of pickup bottle sales permitted by Virginia, but rather is selling wine at a 20% discount and offering free shipment. It’s “the deepest discounts we’ve ever offered,” he said.

It’s challenging to square Roeder’s usually optimistic outlook with his take on the current situation.

“I believe we are going to be in an economic depression within months, and it will probably last years,” he predicted.

An analogy he shares with business associates and the county leadership is this: “The U.S. economy was a dragster headed down the track at 200 mph when it was thrown into reverse, blowing the engine and transmission but not deploying the chute.

“I’m going to have to tear my business apart, everything I’ve spent years to build, simply to find a way to exist,” he said.

Jim Law is the proprietor of Linden Vineyards in Linden. All of his sales were to people visiting the winery and to restaurants, and almost all those sales have ceased.

But there has been a positive surprise: “the number of people calling us and ordering wine, which we ship. I did not expect that,” he said.

These are loyal customers who understand the hardship he is facing, he said.

Like Roeder, Law does not offer bottle sales onsite. Since social distancing has been put in place, guests are not allowed on his property.

“We are taking the whole isolation thing very seriously. We do not want to contribute to getting people out of their houses,” he said.

“I am not speculating as to how this will ultimately unfold, but when things do open up, it will look very different than before. We will likely restart with reservation-only visits, so we can control the amount of people coming out here. Social distancing will continue to be an issue, and we want to control that.”

COURTESY PHOTO Right: Chris Pearmund, owner of five wine businesses. PHOTO BY JOHN HAGARTY On another sobering note, Law observed that because of the recent mild winter, bud break is occurring earlier than in previous years. That has the potential of setting up a dreaded frost scenario. If a hard freeze hits before the final frost date of May 10, it could decimate the grape crop, literally nipping it in the bud.

Luke Kilyk, owner of Granite Heights Winery in Warrenton, echoes the assessments of his fellow vintners. “It has been devastating for us, and I think every winery across the board is seeing that devastation. Our business is down by at least 75 percent.

He said, “We do not host weddings and other large events, but for those who do, they will have to face those realities too.”

Kilyk also observed that now more than ever, wineries will need to focus on quality wine because that’s what will drive consumer purchases, not entertainment and events.

His winery has a carryout sales system in place as allowed by law. Customers order by phone or email, and upon arrival at the winery, an employee walks out and places the paid order in the trunk of the vehicle to maintain social distancing.

Kilyk has a successful law practice in Warrenton and said, “If it weren’t for my primary income, I would be in dire, dire straits. My law firm is what is holding the winery together.”

He, too, opines that if a debilitating frost occurs because of the mild winter, money will be

needed to protect his vines, an investment he will be forced to make to save his business.

Chris Pearmund, the owner of five wine businesses, including his eponymous Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run, said, “To survive we are doing a lot of creative marketing and outreach to our customers. As a result, we are hurting, but doing better than expected.

“But, if we do not do creative things, we will die.”

Among his tools are $100 gift cards selling for $80. All of his wines that have won gold medals are selling for $25 a bottle. Given that a wine bottle holds 25 ounces, he promotes the sale as “selling gold for a dollar an ounce.” To further enhance his “gold sales,” he includes free shipping.

He has laid off close to 100 part-time employees, keeping only managers on the payroll. To survive, Pearmund underscored the need to stay in touch with his customers and continue to be creative in maintaining close relationships.

One timely product he produces is a high-end organic hand sanitizer. It costs $45 a gallon to make, and he gifts a bottle to his customers and business clients.

Pearmund quoted Audrey Hepburn invoking where he is philosophically today: “To plant a garden is to believe in spring.”

To that end, last week, he planted one thousand grapevines and 107 trees at his Broad Run winery.

SENIOR OLYMPICS CANCELED

Woodbridge elite football recruit pushes through limbo R.J. Adams does up to 200 pushups a day as he waits for his Kentucky career to start

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

For a realThe Prince ly big guy like William Times R.J. Adams, the looks at athletes world seems rewhose seasons ally small right were affected by now. the coronavirus.

The WoodThis week: bridge High Woodbridge senior signed a High football football scholarstar R.J. Adams. ship offer with the University of Kentucky on Dec. 18, 2019, but COVID-19 concerns have left him mostly confined to his home.

The 6-foot-3, 326-pound offensive guard planned to graduate from Woodbridge on May 12, then immediately drive to Lexington for summer classes.

With his high school studies complete and campus locked down, plus Kentucky canceling summer programs, he can’t get on with his life as he planned.

“I wake up, I work out, I run and do pushups, and lift, eat and rest. I also hang out with family, and get on the computer,” said Adams.

As an elite college football recruit, Adams isn’t being deprived of his season like spring sports athletes, but he’s a victim nevertheless.

Before the coronavirus, Adams was working out with a trainer three times a week on speed, agility and offensive line skills.

That’s not possible now, so he’s persevering on his own. He runs to Lake Ridge Middle School and back, a distance of 2 miles, and participates in at-home, virtual push up challenges with teammates, seeing who can do the most, often grinding out 200 a day.

Adams was the state’s No. 9 rated overall senior by Rivals.com and a four-star recruit nationally. He’d originally committed to Penn State, but changed course last September after Penn State recruited additional players at his offensive line position. Alabama and N.C. State were his finalists.

His recruiting visit to Kentucky sold him, and he’s fully embracing the Big Blue Nation lifestyle.

Just look at his daily wardrobe: Although not eligible for free Kentucky clothing until his first year, Adams’ parents have become his

What does R.J. stand for?

Although he is Reuben Adams, Jr., his initials are actually R.J. for Reuben Jelani. haberdashers. The 18-year-old, who wears size XXL, owns two pairs of UK shoes, one polo and one button-down oxford shirt, two pairs of shorts, two hoodies, one sideline coach’s jacket, one pair of sweatpants, three long-sleeve, and six short-sleeve T-shirts.

A fan of Ray Lewis, Adams wore Lewis’ No. 52 for the Vikings and hopes to wear it at Kentucky. The number is currently taken by returning starting center Drake Johnson, a first team all-SEC player. Adams will get a different number and hope to claim 52 when Johnson moves on. “If he gets on the field a lot and makes a name for himself he might keep that number he gets as a freshman, or he’ll go back to Ray Lewis,” his dad said.

He’s expecting to play the interior line, most likely guard at Kentucky, with the possibility of learning to play center.

A strong student, Adams is planning on majoring in kinesiology with an interest in exercise science.

Adams played on Woodbridge’s basketball team over the winter.

Now the only head-to-head competition he’s getting is in family card games against his dad, a former Howard University football player who teaches social studies and world history at Woodbridge; mom Lisa, a social worker at Occoquan and Antietam elementary schools; and sister Nia, 19, who was part of Hylton High School’s state champion cheerleading squad in 2017 and attends North Carolina A&T; she’s also home due to COVID-19.

They’re playing Spades and Uno, going for walks with their dogs and biding time until Kentucky’s campus reopens, perhaps in June.

Adams is working out hard enough to lose weight. He’s between 315 and 320, which is below his previously listed 326. With his potential career blooming, Adams wants to do more.

“It’s teasing us (the weather), it’s real nice outside,” he said. “I’m hoping this virus clears up soon.” He really hopes they can have a graduation so he can see his friends one last time before he leaves for Lexington.
