Nurses and staff arrived at a Manassas Park clinic at 8 a.m. on a recent Tuesday morning. The doors wouldn’t open until 9, but a line of cars had already formed outside. The vehicles’ occupants were all waiting for the same thing: a free COVID-19 test. Dr. Rebecca Sutter, co-director of George Mason University’s Mason and Partners Clinics, said this is the new normal since limited free testing has become available for low-income and uninsured people living in and around Prince William County. A similar line of cars forms early each Tuesday and Thursday morning, the days the clinic provides drive-up testing, Sutter said. Wearing personal protective equipment, clinic staff approach each car as they pull up. The sick person in the vehicle is given several forms to fill out. Then a nurse administers a testing swab that will be sent to the state lab. The process takes about five to seven minutes per patient. They usually run out of testing kits by noon.
Construction, grocery store workers seek tests
Right now, the clinic has only 20 free testing kits available per day, which are provided by local health department, Sutter said. Around 15 tests are reserved by appointment for patients who meet specific criteria to receive a test, meaning they are both symptomatic and have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19. The remaining five

are for walk-in patients given on a first come-first serve basis. “Most of the people that are showing up to get tested are frontline workers that are either working construction or in our grocery stores,” Sutter said. Sutter said that there is “absolutely” a correlation between what the clinic is seeing on the ground and newly released data showing that Hispanic and Latino residents are being hit hardest by the pandemic. “We’re 100% seeing correlations with the data that’s coming out. [Our patients] are primarily Hispanics or Latinos that are actively still working,” Sutter said. The Virginia Department of Health recently began releasing ethnicity data on its website that shows Hispanic and Latino residents make up an outsized share of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the Prince William Health District. It’s the only health district in state where Latinos account for more than half of all admissions for the disease. As of Monday, May 11, Hispanic and Latino residents made up 58.5% of all COVID-19 hospitalizations in the Prince William Health District, or 190 of the 339 hospitalizations reported, even though they make up only 26% of the area’s total population.

Northam delays NoVA reopening until May 29 By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Gov. Ralph Northam issued an executive order Tuesday allowing localities in Northern Virginia to delay entering phase 1 of the state’s reopening process until midnight on Thursday, May 28, to Gov. Ralph Northam allow the region more time to meet the health metrics. The new order, Executive Order 62, will allow the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William, and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, Manassas Park, as well as the Towns of Dumfries, Herndon, Leesburg, and Vienna to remain in “phase zero,” for an additional two weeks. “While the data show Virginia as a whole is are ready to slowly and deliberately ease some restrictions, it is too soon for Northern Virginia,” Northam said in May 12 press release. Phase 1 of reopening will allow the rest of the state to reopen non-essential retail, restaurants and hair salons with strict limitations. During phase 1, the ban on gatherings of 10 or more people will stay in place, and gyms and entertainment venues will remain closed. Restaurants will be allowed sit-down dining only outdoors and at 50% capacity. See REOPENING, page 3
Police academy: new gas pipeline could harm driving course By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
A proposed natural gas pipeline planned to run through Prince William County has met an unusual opponent. The Northern Virginia police academy in Nokesville, which provides training to thousands of Northern Virginia police officers and deputy sheriffs, is warning the pipeline’s construction could disrupt its operations and jeopardize its precision driving course. The new pipeline, part of Virginia Natural Gas’ header improvement project, aims to add 24 miles of new gas pipeline in central and northern Virginia and two new compressor stations that will bring natural gas from the Transco pipeline in Prince William to the new C4GT power plant in Charles City County.

PIPELINE, from page 1
“Given the precision in which the emergency response course was built and the inherent safety concerns in such a training center, any construction in the vicinity of the track brings countless unknown dangers,” the letter said. NVCJTA is requesting that the pipeline be redirected to go around the emergency response course so training can continue without interruption. If the pipeline cannot change course, NVCJTA is asking that VNG take the academy’s training schedule into account while the pipeline is constructed. The letter was submitted to the SCC during the public comment period for the new pipeline, which closed Tuesday, May 12. More than 500 public comments had been submitted concerning the project on the SCC website. SCC spokesman Ken Schrad said the public hearing is expected to last two or three days, but there’s no deadline for the project’s approval. “A timeline for issuing such a written final order is impossible to forecast as it depends on the complexity of the case, the legal issues to be decided, and the commission’s case load,” Schrad said. VNG serves about 300,000 customers in central and southeastern Virginia, but VNG spokesman Rick Delehaya said the pipeline expansion and new power plant will eventually provide energy to customers in Prince William. The project, if approved, will bring natural gas to four energy producers in Virginia who will in turn “provide energy to their businesses and consumers throughout Virginia, including the localities where the improvements will be made,” Delehaya said. Delahaya said VNG has been in contact with the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy to discuss their concerns. Once the survey of the area is complete, Delehaya said, “Representatives from both sides will meet to discuss construction options that will alleviate their operational and safety concerns.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com
The project includes several miles of new pipeline in Prince William County as well as a new compressor station in Nokesville. The project has long been opposed by environmental groups as well as some local elected officials because it is seen as a step in the wrong direction as Virginia strives to move away from its reliance on fossil fuel. It’s one of two pipeline expansion projects under way in Prince William and Fauquier counties. The first is already under construction and made news earlier this year when it disrupted plans for a wetland conservation bank. But local and state officials have no say on the pipelines. Neither had to be approved by the two counties’ board of supervisors. That power lies only with the State Corporation Commission, which took public comments on the VNG header improvement project until a Tuesday, May 12, hearing. In their letter to the SCC, attorneys for the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy say the pipeline will run directly beneath the training center’s emergency response course, a 1.1-mile driving loop where officers are trained to drive at high speeds while executing turns and braking maneuvers. The letter further said any disruption of the course could delay the graduation of Northern Virginia police re-

The pipeline, as planned, “could have a direct impact on the safety of the commonwealth,” the letter said. The course is jointly operated by NVCJTA and the Prince William County Criminal Justice Training Academy and provides emergency driver training for 3,000 police officers and deputy sheriffs at 17 Northern Virginia law enforcement agencies.
The letter was signed by all 17 Northern Virginia police chiefs and sheriffs whose agencies utilize the course, including the chiefs of police of departments in the cities of Alexandria, Manassas and Manassas Park and in Loudoun and Arlington counties. The letter was not signed by the Prince William County Police Department. Police spokesman First Sgt. Jonathan Perok said the county is a part owner of the driving facility, but that the department is “not aware of any impacts to our training that this project is expected to cause.” The letter paints a different picture, however. According to the letter, officials at the facility are “highly concerned” that any physical impact to the track, such as bumps or cracks in the pavement “could negatively impact highspeed driving,” endangering both staff and police recruits. There are also concerns that the heat built up from speeding cars and heavy vehicles over the pipeline could cause additional safety issues unless the pipeline is outfitted with a casing or sleeve to protect it from the heat.

Superintendent suspends his Twitter account amid investigation By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County schools Superintendent Steven Walts suspended his Twitter account last week amid an outside investigation into a complaint alleging his exchanges with students violated school division policy. The move comes after the Prince William County School Board announced late Wednesday night that it sought an outside investigation into Walts’ Twitter exchanges with students, which are at the center of a complaint filed by Gainesville resident Guy Morgan. Morgan does not have children in Prince William County schools but is a longtime supporter of Ryan Sawyers, a former school board chairman who resigned in 2018 after unsuccessfully calling on Walts to resign. Walts made the announcement via a video posted to his Twitter account. He called the complaint a “personal and partisan attack” and an attempt to “smear and slander him for political purposes.” Although he did not mention Sawyers or Morgan by name, Walts accused them of “bullying and attacking students online” without providing examples of such comments. Morgan on Thursday denied bullying or interacting with students on Walts’ Twitter account and said his complaint had nothing to do with politics. Morgan said he filed two complaints with the school division alleging violations to various school division regulations after he made a Freedom of Information Act request for messages Walts exchanged with students via Twitter. “I never interact with kids on his Twitter account, to my knowledge,” Morgan said. “I would never bully a kid. ... If he’s talking about me like that, I’ll consider it defamation and I’ll take the appropriate action.” Also, Morgan questioned Walts’ use of taxpayer time and money to make the Twitter video, calling it “incredibly irresponsible.” Walts, who has led the school division for 15 years, began raising his Twitter profile a few years ago by using his account to announce school weather cancellations. Walts now has 31,900 followers and tweets regularly, usually to highlight students and staff, promote events, and sometimes to share home videos REOPENING, from page 1 Local leaders in those Northern Virginia locales requested that phase 1 be delayed in the region over the weekend. The percentage of positive tests for COVID-19 in Northern Virginia remains substantially higher than the rest of the commonwealth. According to the press release, the Northern Virginia Region has about a 25% positivity rate, while the rest of the Commonwealth is closer to 10%. On any given day, 70% of the Commonwealth’s positive COVID-19 cases are attributable to the Northern Virginia Region, Northam said. “We feel that we’re at a place where we can safely go into phase 1 in most areas of Virginia. Northern Virginia is an exception,” Northam said at a press conference Monday. Initially, Northam had resisted a regional approach to reopening, but he appeared to soften his stance last week. Northam reiterated Monday that phase 1 is “a floor, but not a ceiling” for reopening, adding that no

Walts’ Twitter feed became the subject of a school board investigation last month, however, when Morgan sent his complaint to the school board. In statement issued at 10:46 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, after an electronic school board meeting, the board declined to comment on personnel matters due to school division policy and state law but said any complaints asserted against employees “are taken seriously, regardless of their source, and are addressed under the procedures provided in applicable school board policies and regulations.” The statement added: “The school board is aware of the allegations recently asserted against the division superintendent” and retained “an independent outside firm to conduct an external review of Dr. Walts’ official Twitter account to determine the validity of the allegations and provide the board with a confidential report.”
Complaint stems from FOIA request
Morgan filed his first FOIA request with Prince William County schools in February asking for direct messages between Walts and students made via Walts’ Twitter feed. The school division responded that Walts had exchanged “more than 10,000 private messages” with students since November 2018, according to the complaint, which was obtained by the Prince William Times. Morgan then filed a second FOIA request for messages between Walts’ account and eight Twitter accounts belonging to Prince William County students.
region can move faster to ease restrictions, but some could move slower. “It’s important that the commonwealth as a whole can meet the metrics that we’ve laid out before moving into phase 1, but I also recognize that we live in a diverse commonwealth and different regions face different challenges,” Northam said. Northam added that in order to implement a delayed reopening, Northern Virginia localities would have to be uniform in their approach “rather than having restrictions piecemeal across towns or counties.” Northern Virginia accounts for over half of all the COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the commonwealth, and those numbers have continued to rise in recent days. In a letter sent over the weekend, health district directors from all five localities said the region has not yet met, or was “unable to assess,” the key metrics for reopening outlined in Northam’s “Forward Virginia” plan. In order to reopen, the plan requires: A downward trend of positive tests relative to tests over a period of 14 days
Referring to the messages received in response to the request, Morgan alleges Walts violated school division regulations on computer use that require employee accounts to be used only for educational and official communications. Morgan also alleges Walts’ messages violated the school division’s standards of professional conduct, which prohibit school employees from following students’ personal social media accounts and bar any non-email electronic communication with students except in emergencies. In particular, Morgan’s complaint details a series of messages sent over four days in March 2019 during which a female high school student addresses Walts by his first name and asks him if he knows when grades are due. According to screen shots of the exchange included in the complaint, Walts replies to the girl at 10:56 p.m. on March 18, 2019, by saying he will get back to her about her question. The next day, Walts informed the student via Twitter that grades were due April 1. In a series of subsequent Twitter messages, Walts asked the girl her name and what school she attends. Walts later messaged the girl to say he visited her school and asked to see her, but she wasn’t in school that day. The student replied that she was home sick. In addition to noting the exchange violated school division regulations, Morgan’s complaint alleges the messages were inappropriate because some were sent after 11 p.m. and because Walts went to the girl’s school and asked to meet with her. In his video message, Walts did not address the substance of Morgan’s complaint but said he “welcome[s]” the school board’s decision to review the complaints and said he chose to “temporarily cease” using his account “with great disappointment.” “This communication channel has helped thousands of individuals with the assistance they needed. This includes students in crisis, teachers who have expressed concerns, and parents seeking help,” Walts said. “It has been an important and useful resource, and I am closing it only until the smear campaign is brought into the light of day for what it is.” Walts noted his Twitter account is an “official” account, not a personal account, and thus is managed in part by the school division’s communications office, as per a school division regulation.

• A downward trend of hospitalizations over a period of 14 days • Enough hospital beds and intensive care capacity • Increasing and sustainable supply of personal protective equipment • Increased testing and contact tracing Health district directors concluded that hospitalizations in the region had not fallen over a period of 14 days, that the region does not have an increasing and sustainable supply of PPE in outpatient facilities and does not have adequate contact-tracing capacity. “Based on our assessment, we do not believe that the Northern Virginia region has met the criteria for moving into phase 1 at this time,” the health district directors wrote. Northam’s Chief of Staff Clark Mercer said there are currently enough contact tracers needed to reopen all but Northern Virginia, where more than one-third of the state’s population resides. “Where we’re going to have to really ramp up some of our contact tracing is where we have a preponderance
of positive tests, which is in Northern Virginia,” Mercer said. “It stands to reason that if they are delayed by a week or two weeks or several weeks, then we do have a bit of a cushion to get the tracers in Northern Virginia and ready when they are ready to enter phase 1.” Virginia is preparing to hire 1,000 contact tracers who will help track down and notify close contacts of COVID-19 patients. Northam said contact tracing, in combination with ramped up testing, are the key to reopening the state. Northam ended the press conference with a word of caution about COVID-19 as the much of the state prepares to enter phase 1. “As a physician, I have never seen any pathogen that that acts like this. That is as contagious as this is,” Northam said. “Until there’s a cure for the virus, until there’s a vaccination, we have to be cognizant. We have to be vigilant … that it’s out there.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com

Prince William ZIP codes rank 1st, 2nd in the state in COVID-19 Staff Reports Prince William County is home to the two ZIP codes with the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the state and four ZIP codes that rank among Virginia’s top 10 when it comes to cases of the disease. At the same time, three Prince William County ZIP codes, those encompassing Occoquan and the Catharpin area, have yet to report their first case of COVID-19. On Friday, May 8, the Virginia Department of Health released COVID-19 cases by ZIP code for the first time. The data reflects what is already known: That the state’s most populous counties -- Fairfax and Prince William, which rank No. 1 and 2 in population in the state, respectively -- also have ZIP codes with the highest number of cases. But the numbers also show more COVID-19 cases where residential areas are more dense, such as along the U.S. 1 corridor in both eastern Prince William and Fairfax counties.
Among the top 10:
22191, located along the U.S. 1 corridor, stretching from Fairfax County to about Rippon Landing, ranked first the in state with 679 cases of COVID-19. The ZIP code also reports the highest number of tests administered in the county at 2,265. 22193, which includes much of
Dale City, stretching from just west of the Potomac Mills mall to just west of Spriggs Road, ranked second in the state with 609 cases. The area includes the intersection of Minnieville Road and Dale Boulevard and many of the neighborhoods surrounding it. The number of tests taken by residents in the ZIP code was 2,132 as of Monday, May 11. 20110, which includes the City of Manassas, ranked fifth in the state with 491 COVID-19 cases. Tests taken in the ZIP code numbered 1,291. 20109, which includes the Va. 234 Business corridor, including areas around Manassas Mall, Sudley and part of Westgate, ranked seventh in the state with 469 cases and 1,142 tests.
Among the top 20:
20111, which includes Manassas Park and Yorktown, ranked 13th in the state with 354 cases and 929 tests. 22192, which includes Lake Ridge and the entire Old Bridge Road corridor, ranked 20th, with 284 cases and 1,471 tests. On its website, the VDH explained some caveats to the ZIP code data, including that the state does not have ZIP data on all the state’s cases. Because that data is not complete, the total number of cases and tests by ZIP code may not match the county’s total.

Prince William Health District Director Dr. Alison Ansher said last week the health district is conducting targeted outreach to the Spanish-speaking populations in Prince William, including planning a bilingual town hall and conducting surveys to learn more about the spread of the virus in Spanish-speaking communities. Ansher said the health district is working with free clinics, including MAP Clinics, that are doing COVID-19 testing on their patients to ensure that they have access to sampling kits. Sutter said the amount of testing kits they receive from the local health department is limited because testing supplies, like swabs, are still in short supply. But Sutter said she expects testing supplies to become more plentiful in Virginia as the state continues to ramp up its testing capabilities. “We’re hoping those numbers start to go up,”

TESTS, from page 1 The pandemic’s uneven ethnic impacts aren’t unique to Prince William County. Localities and states across the country are reporting similar findings as new data emerges. A recent Centers of Disease Control and Prevention report said nationwide data “suggests a disproportionate burden of illness and death among racial and ethnic minority groups.” According to the CDC, key social and economic factors, like living conditions, work circumstances, underlying health conditions and lower access to care, may be contributing to the disproportionate racial and ethnic impacts. Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, legal director for Legal Aid Justice Center’s Immigrant Advocacy Program, said higher rates of illness and hospitalization among Hispanic and Latino residents across Virginia are “largely a function of the types of jobs people are working, and the lack of protection given to workers.” Many of the industries in which immigrants are overrepresented, such as construction, warehouse work and farming, have continued unabated during the crisis in Virginia, Sandoval-Moshenberg said. “The industries in which [immigrants] work are the industries that have been hardest hit,” Sandoval-Moshenberg said. Sandoval-Moshenberg cautioned against reopening Virginia businesses too quickly, calling the state government’s goal of reopening on May 15 “a gaff” that would likely lead to increased spread of the virus among the state’s immigrant communities. “In the immigrant community, this is just starting to take off. This is going to get worse,” Sandoval-Moshenberg said.

Sutter said. “We’re only limited by our ability to get the sampling kits.” The clinic serves thousands of low income and uninsured patients in Fairfax and Prince William counties. It began with their flagship clinic in Manassas Park in 2013 and has expanded to a total of 10 Northern Virginia clinics since then, with seven clinics in Prince William and three in Fairfax. Right now, only the Manassas Park clinic is testing for COVID-19. The rest have moved to telehealth to continue serving their existing patients without putting staff or patients at risk, Sutter said. During the crisis, Sutter said the organization has shifted its resources to focus on its Prince William clinics where “there is a significant unmet demand among vulnerable populations,” like the uninsured, those experiencing homelessness, and those being released from jail. Where free testing is unavailable, Sutter said the cost of the COVID-19 test remains a barrier for low-income and uninsured individuals. The average cost of a COVID-19 test is around $200 for uninsured individuals, “which is certainly outside of what the most vulnerable, uninsured or underinsured were able to handle,” Sutter said. “We have major inequities around testing,” Sutter said.

If coronavirus health restrictions allow it, the Class of 2020 might just get to walk across the stage and receive their high school diplomas after all. Superintendent Steven Walts announced during a school board meeting Wednesday, May 6 that plans are in the works to hold in-person graduation ceremonies at all 12 Prince William County high schools and both non-traditional schools in early August, as long as state and local health regulations in place at the time allow it. The ceremonies will be held in the schools’ stadiums, gyms or auditoriums. Families will be allowed to attend, Walts said. “However, tickets may be limited depending on exact social distancing requirements and the size of the venues,” Walts said. The ceremonies have been tentatively scheduled for the week of Aug. 3 through 7, with PACE West set for Wednesday, Aug. 19, Walts said. “The ceremonies will follow the social distancing requirements that are in place as of those dates,” he added. “It is very important to note that this plan and those dates may be changed depending upon the evolving health situation related to COVID-19 virus.” If health precautions prohibit in-person ceremonies in early August, virtual options will be considered, Walts said. The plans were the result of meetings held with all high school principals in the county, Walts said. Individual high school principals will be sharing exact times and dates with the Class of 2020 graduates and their families in the weeks ahead, Walts said. Since Gov. Ralph Northam announced in March that Virginia’s schools would be closed for the rest of the school year, it was feared that high school seniors would not participate in graduation ceremonies this year. The school division canceled all the June graduation ceremonies shortly after Northam made his announcement. A few Virginia school divisions have announced plans for alternative graduations. In Fauquier County, Superintendent David Jeck announced this week that schools would assign families individual times to watch their graduates walk across a stage to receive their diplomas in mid-May. In Stafford County, one graduation ceremony will be held for all five high schools’ graduating seniors on Saturday, Aug. 1, at 8 a.m. at North Stafford High School.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ramadan is a month of fasting, learning, giving Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. Every year, Muslims celebrate Ramadan by paying special focus on following the teachings of Islam. The revelation of Holy Qur’an to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) started during this month. Muslims start Ramadan by waking up really early at dawn and eating a breakfast called Suhur. After that, they fast the whole day, which means they don’t eat or drink until sunset. They break their fast by eating dates and drinking water. After fasting for 30 days, they celebrate Eid festival to mark the end of the month of Ramadan. Muslims celebrate it with special Eid prayers
and by eating yummy foods, visiting friends and family and much more. Ramadan is a special month full of blessings and an opportunity to do extra good deeds. It is also a time to pray as much as possible. Ramadan is also a time to give charity. Children fill their charity boxes with money for the needy or smile generously. Not to mention, they also get money as gift on Eid. I hope that this information helped everyone learn about the Muslim holidays, Ramadan and Eid. RAMEEN NOOR Age 7 Woodbridge
Amid the pandemic, compassion is essential Just one question for Ms. Rowland, who was so “disturbed” at the Home Depot employees who weren’t wearing masks. What were you buying at Home Depot that was “essential”? A can of paint? Grass seed? A new hammer? Isn’t “essential needs” supposed to be the guideline we are
following?? Let us all look in the mirror, take a deep breath, and show a little compassion for the fact that this is new territory for all of us! I wish you good health tempered with a dash of mercy for your fellow-travelers. CHARLENE ROOT Warrenton
Prince William’s taxes are not the highest As the Prince William Board of County Supervisors address taxation for 2020-21, it is important to note that various models are being used in this important deliberation. The most used comment is that Prince William County is among the highest real-estate taxed locality in the area. Unfortunately, this model has little to do with comparisons of real estate taxes throughout Virginia. A recent analysis based on Census data points out there are seven localities in Virginia that have median taxes higher than Prince William County. The highest median is in Falls Church City, at $6,005,
to Fairfax City, at $3,646. Prince William County comes in at $3,402. Sadly, thousands of county residents have lost their income during the pandemic. Never is the “right time” to increase taxes. But county school teachers are among the lowest paid in the region. Consideration should be given to appropriate levels of monetary proffers for builders to pay for the hundreds of millions of dollars that will cost county taxpayers to fund new schools that are needed to accommodate increases in the schoolage population.

GUEST OPINION
More help needed for those hard hit by COVID-19 It has been four months since the Centers for Disease Control confirmed the first case of coronavirus disease, called COVID-19, in the United States. As of May 11, more than 800 Virginians have died, 3,200 have been hospitalized and more than 25,000 have tested positive for this virus. Only about 1.7% of Virginians, or 147,000, have been tested. Our hospitalization rate has continued to climb with more than 1,500 people currently in the hospital. The rate of infection has slowed, but this virus has hit our community very unevenly. While nearly every Virginia locality has seen infections, infections have mostly been concentrated. While Northern Virginia has the highest raw number of infections, outbreaks on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, Shenandoah Valley and Northern Neck are proportionally more severe than they are here. Several of our prisons, local jails and juvenile detention facilities have experienced outbreaks and four inmates being held for non-violent offenses have died.
SEN. SCOTT SUROVELL
Disproportionate impacts
The Hispanic community has been disproportionately, adversely affected. Neighborhood Health operates a clinic on U.S. 1 on Beacon Hill. Although only 50% of their patients are Latino, 90% of their positive tests have been Latinos and 74% of those tested lack health insurance. The Northern Virginia ZIP codes with the highest concentrations of positive tests also have largest numbers of Latino residents including the U.S. 1 corridor, Manassas, Herndon and Bailey’s Crossroads. This week, I will be working with other legislators who represent significant Latino constituents to ask our state and local governments to target more resources on these communities.
For example, one recent study showed we could reduce infection rates by 80% if everyone simply wore a mask. We can deploy mobile clinics and can also improve communications. Unemployment has also been uneven. Friday’s unemployment data showed that the unemployment rate in the Latino community is 18.9%, 16.7% among African-American workers and 14% for white and Asian workers. However, for people with a high school degree or less, unemployment is between 17-21% while for people with a college degree, it is 8.4%. While more than $12 billion of Payroll Protection Program loans have been approved for Virginia businesses, the funds for those loans will be exhausted by mid-June and with consumer spending declining, our economy will likely struggle to recover. All pandemic experts say that we cannot have economic stability without controlling the virus, and we cannot control the virus without sufficient testing and contact tracing. Daily testing in Virginia is averaging
up but was mostly below what Gov. Ralph Northam says we need, and Virginia has hired only 325 of 1,275 needed contact tracers. I believe hospitalization numbers should be consistently declining plus adequate testing and contact tracing in operation before the economy is reopened.
Information and tests
You can locate a clinic to be tested for COVID-19 on the Virginia Department of Health COVID-19 website, https://www.vdh.virginia. gov/coronavirus/. There are seven locations in the 36th Senate District that offer testing. Thank you for your patience as we continue to respond to this evolving threat and its consequences. Please look out for your neighbors and those in our community who need help. Please consider others and wear a mask if you are in public. The writer, a Democrat, has represented the 36th District, which includes parts of Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties, in the state Senate since 2016 and can be reached at scott@scottsurovell.org.

Gillespie is Vikings’ latest hot football recruit By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
James Gillespie isn’t being swayed by any college football program right now. Ranked as Virginia’s No. 3 defensive lineman in the class of 2021, the 6-foot-2, 310-pound junior is playing it cool as he sits at home reading texts from college coaches. The list of colleges that have offered Gillespie are as tall as an Ikea bookcase. Virginia recently offered him an athletic scholarship. So have Michigan, Penn State, Maryland, Kentucky, Central Florida, West Virginia, Cincinnati, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Boston College, Wake Forest, Charlotte, UAB, Central Michigan, Liberty and Massachusetts. “Everything is in consideration. It’s the biggest decision of my life,” Gillespie said. “I’ve got to know what I’m getting into.” With over 470,000 residents and 12 public high schools, Prince William County is prime recruiting ground for elite college football players. The Woodbridge Vikings’ program is extremely fertile, producing 16 D1 recruits in the last five years under coach Gary Wortham, including current seniors Antoine Sampah, a star linebacker headed to LSU, as well as Kentucky-bound offensive lineman R.J. Adams and defensive lineman Sheku Tonkara, headed to Monmouth. Five Prince William juniors rank in the state’s Top 45 by rivals.com. Besides Gillespie at No. 15, is Stonewall Jackson defensive tackle Tyleik Williams at No. 7, Patriot safety Jalen Stroman

Adams, OL, Kentucky; Antoine Sampah, LB, LSU; Sheku Tonkara, DE, Monmouth at No. 19, Freedom (Woodbridge) receiver Umari Hatcher at No. 30 and Battlefield lineman Matt Binkowski at No. 40. Gillespie isn’t fazed by the beeps on his phone from college defensive line coaches and recruiting coordinators. “Some will text you more often than others. One hits me every two days, some every single day,” Gillespie said. “I respond within 30 minutes,” he added. Due to the coronavirus, the NCAA extended the recruiting dead period through May 31, meaning juniors like Gillespie can’t take official visits until the period is lifted. “I won’t commit before September. This coronavirus is slowing everything down,” said Gillespie. Although pleased by Virginia’s offer on April

Also pictured are Viking recruits Antoine Sampah (left) and R.J. Adams (right) and R.J.’s father, Reuben Adams. 22, there’s no hint on schools he likes. “Where I want to play, the school might check all the boxes and be far away or up north,” he said. “I look mainly at how do they play at my position, how many are at my position at the school, who plays my position (being recruited), and how I can develop.” His workouts consist of running and using dumbbells at home. He does pushups and squats, and studies defensive line techniques. “I don’t eat a lot of fast foods. I don’t eat McDonald’s or Taco Bell. I try to eat a lot of carbs, fibers, good stuff, fruits and vegetables,” he said. As far as his academic future, he says he’s interested in astronomy, but unsure what he’ll major in.

Land use, COVID-19 woes at issue in Haymarket elections By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
The Haymarket Town Council could see a shakeup next Tuesday. The mayor and all five current councilmembers are facing challengers in the May 19 election that will determine who will lead the town for the next two years. Haymarket voters will have a total of two mayoral candidates and 10 council candidates to choose from. Voters will elect one mayor and six councilmembers. Incumbent Mayor David Leake is defending his seat against challenger Kenneth Luersen. Incumbent councilmembers Chris Morris, Steve Shannon, Connor Leake, Madhu Panthi and Robert Day are defending their seats against challengers Joe Pasanello, Robert Weir, Thomas Utz, R. Marchant Schneider and TracyLynn Pater. The current mayor and all five council members are running a campaign together under the name #TeamHaymarket. The only challenger included in the campaign is Utz, who has received the backing of the current council. Their website touts the slate as a “diverse and experienced group of individuals running for Town Council focused on the goal of continuing to move Haymarket into a flourishing town.” “#TeamHaymarket brings 29
years of experience working collaboratively on committees, commissions, boards, or previous councils making us the best option for our town,” the group’s website says. Candidates not part of the #TeamHaymarket campaign outlined their priorities in a questionnaire from the Prince William Area League of Women Voters earlier this month. Luersen said his top priority if elected mayor is the town’s budget. Luersen said he would require the town budget committee to meet monthly to identify any red flags in the budget that would be reported to the town council. Luersen added that he would prioritize land development and traffic congestion issues in the town. Luersen said the congestion on Washington Street is an issue. The traffic has increased during peak hours, restricting access to nearby streets, Luersen said. “This will only get worse when the fairgrounds and our other greenspace gets developed and when the shopping center that hosts CVS gets fully built,” Luersen said. Pasanello said his highest priority as an elected official is “fiscal integrity.” Pasanello said the town’s budget has “virtually doubled in the last eight years and it is projected to continue to increase. However, he said, there have been “warning signs” of a slowdown in the last year. “The budget must be aligned with
the economic reality on the ground,” Pasanello said. Pasanello said he plans to cut the budget and freeze all hiring and non-essential spending if elected. Pater also said the town budget is a top priority, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. Pater said the next town council “must focus on attracting new businesses to replace those that will close in the near future.” “The town’s future revenues are limited by the number of town businesses that are closing or suffering as a result of COVID19,” Pater said. Pater said the town’s revenue stream is further limited by new businesses locating just outside of town that will not contribute to the town budget. Weir shared similar concerns about the town budget. Weir said the town faces a “near certain shortfall,” in the budget because it relies on projected meals, cigarette and BPOL tax revenues impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. “The continued effect of the pandemic will negatively impact the current revenue projections for [fiscal year] 21,” Weir said. Weir also raised concerns about the construction of a WaWa immediately outside of town and the loss from a Food Lion that closed last fall, both of which could further impact the town’s tax revenues. “The new town council will have to immediately address the [fiscal
year 20]20 shortfall as well as [fiscal year 20]21 revenues and expenditures,” Weir said. Schneider said his highest priority is understanding the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 on town businesses and residents. Schneider said, if elected, he would “advocate for county, state, and federal resources to continue to be made available for town,” in addition to the town’s current efforts. Schneider also said he will advocate for an “up-to-date town comprehensive plan” that “ensures a solid foundation for fiscally balanced commercial and residential development.” The town of Haymarket has a population of about 1,600. Virginia’s town elections were initially supposed to take place on May 5. But they were pushed back two weeks by the state legislature as a precaution during the COVID-19 crisis. Voting by mail is encouraged. Residents had to request their ballots by May 12. Prince William County Department of Elections spokesman Matt Wilson said in press release earlier this month that elections officers will be wearing items such as gloves and masks on Election Day and that hand sanitizer will be available for voters who turn out to the polls to vote in person.

Be the person your dog thinks you are Dogs are man’s best friends and yet not listed in obituaries. Here is an exception. Tug Pearmund, a 12 year old golden retriever passed May 11th peacefully in the arms of his loved one. Tug was voted best wine dog in Virginia three years in a row. He acted as mascot to 3 wineries. He was an avid and vocal fundraiser for the SPCA. His career was greeting people at wineries, insuring they were calm and happy, de-escalating any angry or negative behavior of 2 or 4 legged guests and posing for pictures EVERYDAY. He distracted us all from our daily pains and struggles. He showed us the very meaning of unconditional love and acceptance and kindness. He demonstrated how to be genuine thankfully just for the sunshine or a belly rub or a head pat. He worked over 50 dog years providing guidance on how we all should act. With kindness, calmness, acceptance, and unconditional love. Given the situation we find ourselves in these days, wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all found a little Tug in ourselves and in each other. In the coming days and weeks, as we run into a snag or a bump in our daily interactions, it might serve us well to ask ourselves, what would Tug do? Let’s all find a little golden in ourselves and pass it on just like he would want us to. Be the person your dog thinks you are.

She is known for taking scared children under her wing to support them into becoming strong, independent students. She tied shoes, zipped jackets, wiped noses, and made sure they had their backpacks. Her philosophy was she started their day with a smile and ended their day with a smile. Her dedication showed through the love and admiration felt by many students, parents, teachers, administers, and other bus drivers.

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY REMEDIATION Pursuant to the Virginia Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP) regulations, Virginia Administrative Code section 9VAC20-160-120, Great Falls Center, LLC, addressed 4551 Forest Drive, Fairfax, Virginia, hereby provides notice of voluntary remediation at the following property:
Woodbridge Square Shopping Center 13179-13199 Occoquan Road, Woodbridge, Virginia 22191 VRP Site Number VRP00714 (Site) The Site, addressed 13187 and 13191 Occoquan Road at the Woodbridge Square Shopping Center, is occupied by VIP Cleaners, a dry-cleaning facility. The dry cleaner formerly used tetrachloroethylene (PCE) as a dry-cleaning solvent. In order to address potential environmental risks associated with the solvents, Great Falls, LLC (VRP Participant) applied to and was enrolled in the VRP on September 11, 2017. Environmental investigations conducted under the VRP detected dry-cleaning solvents, including PCE and trichloroethene (TCE), in the Site’s subsurface soil gas and groundwater at levels which may pose a risk to human health or the environment if left unaddressed. The extent of the release has been fully characterized and the drycleaning solvents have not migrated off-site. The Participant has developed a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) which has been reviewed and accepted as complete by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The RAP proposes to address environmental risks related to the release with the installation of a sub-slab depressurization system (SSDS) under the Site, imposition of a groundwater use restriction on the property, and maintenance of the Site’s asphalt cap. Persons wishing to comment on the proposed voluntary remedial action or request additional information should contact: Jeff Groblewski, CPG Environmental Consultants & Contractors, Inc. 43045 John Mosby Highway Chantilly, Virginia 20152 703-327-2900 (for inquiries only; all comments must be submitted in writing) Jeff.Groblewski@eccfirst.com Comments will be accepted for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of publication of this notice.
