COVID-19 deaths spike over Memorial Day weekend Staff Reports Flags flew at half-staff across the U.S. on Memorial Day weekend in honor of the nearly 100,000 American lives lost to COVID-19. Locally, the death toll reached 108, with Memorial Day marking the deadliest reporting day since the pandemic began. The Prince William Health District lost 20 residents to COVID-19 over the long weekend. Prince William County reported 15 additional deaths from Friday, May 22, through Monday, May 25; while the city of Manassas reported three; and Manassas Park reported two. The latest local victims of COVID-19 include 15 men and five women. The youngest was in their 30s, one was in their 40s, two were in their 50s, six were in their 60s, five were in their 70s and five were age 80 or older, according to data released by VDH over the course of the weekend. Because of privacy laws, the state releases only limited information about COVID-19 victims, including gender, age range (within 10 years) and place of residence. The new numbers bring the Prince William Health District’s cumulative COVID-19 numbers to 5,812 cases, 512 hospitalizations and 108 deaths.

Tests: Virginia administered 11,865 COVID-19 tests on Friday, May 22. That’s the largest number of daily tests ever reported and the first day that testing exceeded Northam’s goal of 10,000 daily tests. Percent-positivity rate: The local health district’s percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests dipped on Monday to 24%, which is the second-highest rate in the state, according to the VDH report. Only to the Lord Fairfax Health District, which reported a 24.8% positive rate relative to tests on Monday, tops Prince William’s rate. The Lord Fairfax Health District includes Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah and Warren counties as well as the City of Winchester -- all of which entered phase one of Virginia’s reopening phases on Friday, May 15. Virginia’s percent-positivity rate also dipped slightly from 14.4% on Sunday to 14.3% on Monday, the VDH data says. The percent-positivity rate fluctuates daily depending on the number of tests administered and the positive results. The World Health Organization recommends a percent-positivity rate of 10%, which the organization says is an indicator that enough tests are being performed to identify most cases of the disease.

Supervisor, GOP candidates join ‘Reopen PWC’ rally By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, former state delegate Rich Anderson and several Republican candidates for office joined about 120 people in a “Reopen Prince William County” rally Saturday afternoon outside the Old Courthouse in Manassas. The rally was organized by

Christopher Lee and Zach McDonald, two Prince William County residents who are members of the “Reopen Prince William County” Facebook page. Attendees brought American flags and Trump 2020 flags and carried homemade signs with slogans such as “Flatten the curve of ignorance” and “the media is the virus, tired of the lies.” See RALLY, page 2 INSIDE Classified............................................11 Obituaries.............................................9

The days of Prince William 287(g) agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement could be numbered now that the board of county supervisors appointed three new members to the Prince William-Manassas Regional jail board known to be critical of the partnership with the federal agency. The board appointed Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, Prince William NAACP Chair Cozy Bailey and defense attorney Tracey Lenox to the board on party-line vote, with all five Democrats on the board voting in favor and all three Republicans opposed. The 287(g) agreement gives ICE direct access to jail inmates by deputizing some of the jail officers to effectively act as ICE agents. Deputies screen all jail inmates for civil immigration warrants and hold inmates for up to 48 hours past their release dates if ICE issues a detainer to take them into ICE custody.

Guzman has been a critical of the county’s 287(g) agreement and said Wednesday, May 20, she will “definitely vote to let it expire.” Guzman, herself an immigrant from Peru, said she believes the 287(g) agreement prevents some immigrant residents from cooperating with police, is an unnecessary use of local tax dollars and has resulted in some residents being deported for non-violent crimes, such driving without driver’s licenses, which are not currently available to some immigrants in Virginia.

The 11-member jail board must decide before July 1 whether it will renew the county’s ICE agreement. The next jail board meeting is set to take place on June 17. Currently serving on the jail board are three elected officials: Sheriff Glen Hill (R), Commonwealth’s Attorney

Amy Ashworth (D) and Clerk of the Circuit Court Jacqueline Smith (D); as well as three county staffers: County Executive Chris Martino, Director of Office of Criminal Justice Services Steven Austin and Police Chief Barry Barnard. The City of Manassas City Council can appoint two citizen members but currently has only one serving, Lisa Climer, whose term expires in 2024. The vote to appoint the new members came at the end of a 12-hour meeting that included comments from about 80 residents, many of whom spoke via remote video connections. About 100 supporters of the 287(g) agreement staged a rally outside the McCoart Administration Building prior to the 2 p.m. meeting. Speakers at the rally included former acting ICE director and Fox News contributor Thomas Homan, as well as Tom Speciale, a Woodbridge resident vying for the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Mark Warner (D).

Board divided on appointments, ICE agreement

Republican and Democratic supervisors were split over the jail board appointments, and about the whether the jail board should renew the ICE agreement. The board’s three Republicans said they are in favor of keeping the agreement and preferred to keep the jail board’s current citizen members in place. Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, a Prince William Sheriff’s deputy, said she had seen the program up close and could vouch for its success. “At the end of the day, we are talking about illegal aliens that have been arrested for committing a crime,” Vega said.

Now he’s running for chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, a contest that’s expected to take place in the coming months. Anderson downplayed COVID-19, saying it’s caused “roughly 4,000 hospitalizations” in the commonwealth. “And yet, that compares to roughly 850,000 hospitalizations each year, and so it is an overstated case,” Anderson added. Referring to news that Northam might impose a mask order on Tuesday, Anderson called the idea “excessive” and “intrusive.” “I believe that this coronavirus does present a threat, and we therefore need to protect against it; but reasonable protections that do not trample the Constitution and individual liberties of liberty-loving Virginia,” he said.

Speciale on masks: ‘None of the science supports any of it’

The loss of civil liberties as a result of Northam’s executive orders, which speakers said are “unconstitutional,” was a major theme of the event. Speciale said Virginians face “an enemy of our liberty.” “They are the people who will tell you -- and terrify you -- that you must wear a mask to protect yourself from an invisible virus, and none of the science supports any of it,” Speciale said. “The First Amendment, it says you cannot tell us to stay home. You cannot tell us to wear a mask. You cannot tell us to bankrupt our businesses,” he added. Speciale faces two opponents in the June 23 primary: Alissa Baldwin, a Prince William County native who is now a civics and economics teacher in Nottoway County public schools, and Daniel Gade, an Alexandria resident, retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and amputee who was injured in the Iraq War.

Supervisor Margaret Angela Franklin, D-Woodbridge, who represents a district where Latinos and Hispanic make up more than 30% of the population, said the 287(g) agreement does not bring the community together. Franklin, who works as a Democratic staffer on Capitol Hill, said she had seen “families ripped apart” by the 287(g) program, and that she had personally “been on the phone with ICE agents asking them to stop certain deportations, some that were successful and others that were not.”

Sheriff, jail superintendent defend 287(g)

Hill and jail Superintendent Pete Meletis spoke favorably of the ICE agreement, saying it allows insight into inmates’ criminal records in their native countries. The jail places between 30 to 50 ICE

detainers per month on undocumented jail inmates, who are screened by four ICE-trained officers in the jail. If the program were eliminated, four staff members could be cut, saving the jail about $350,000 annually, Meletis said. Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, pressed Hill and Meletis on the necessity of the ICE agreement and how other Virginia counties maintain safe communities without partnering with ICE. When Meletis said he didn’t know, Wheeler directed the question to Hill: “So if 287(g) went away, we’d still have a safe community?” “I can tell you that law enforcement’s goal is always to have a safe community,” Hill said.

County: Pools, waterparks closed for the summer Staff Reports Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the opening weekend for Prince William County’s public pools and waterparks. But most of those facilities won’t open at all this summer because of constraints due to the coronavirus pandemic. The county’s department of parks, recreation and tourism made the announcement Thursday. The biggest challenge is timing. The ongoing stay-at-home order has made it impossible for the county to train staff and prepare to open its four public pools and two waterparks, according to Seth Hendler-Voss, director of the county’s department of parks, recreation and tourism. “We understand how disappointing this must be for the thousands of visitors who depend on us for summer memories and relief from the heat.

We regret we could not find a way forward,” Hendler-Voss said in a press release. During a regular summer season, the department normally hires between 600 and 800 seasonal staff. But the county has been unable to train and prepare seasonal staff this year due to ongoing social distancing guidance, said Brent Heavner, spokesman for the county parks, recreation and tourism department. “Much of the safety training these positions require, especially our lifeguards, requires close contact. That training cannot begin until social distancing guidance guidelines are lifted,” Heavner said. “By the time we would be able to complete staff training and ready our outdoor aquatic facilities for opening, we would be very late into the pool season when we would usual-

County, schools weigh millions in COVID-19 aid By Daniel Berti and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors has decided it will spend about $15 million of the $41 million the county received in federal COVID-19 relief funding to help ailing small businesses and residents impacted by the crisis. Now, they’ll also have to weigh a request from the county school board, which voted unanimously May 20 to ask for $23.5 million – the school division’s 57.23% share based on the longstanding revenue sharing agreement. John Wallingford, the school division’s associate superintendent for finance and risk management, said the schools can make the request based on state guidance that “explicitly refers to the use of this money going to schools.” All school board members agreed with the idea, saying the school division still needs to buy more computers beyond the 15,500 laptops that were purchased with about $6.4 million in school division funds last month. The school board asked the supervisors to help pay for that expense, but the supervisors never acted on it. The school division is still working on its plan to reopen schools in the fall, and board members said the schools could need everything from extra desks to extra buses to extra help for school nurses to meet social distancing and other federal guidelines for reopening schools. “If our schools are going to succeed, if we are going to push forward and not lose a year of education, then we really do have some unmet needs that I think would be really wise for the county to share in that,” said Gainesville School Board Representative Jenn Wall.

Small businesses, homeless assistance

For their part, supervisors unanimously approved on May 19 using about $5 million of the money on a small business relief fund, and about $10 million on housing aid and homelessness assistance for county residents. In addition to the housing and small business relief, the county will also use the CARES Act money to pay for millions it has already spent on PPE and cleaning supplies. The county has already spent about $3.6 million on COVID-19 response through May 5. That includes $1.2 million on PPE, $600,000 on cleaning supplies and $465,000 on the county’s homeless crisis response plan, according to David Sinclair, the county’s budget director.

The board directed an additional $2 million to be spent on programs to aid homeless people in the county who are at a high risk for COVID-19, specifically those who are elderly, disabled or have underlying health conditions. The county is housing around 58 high-risk homeless people at a local hotel. About $2 million in funding from the CARES Act will go towards sustaining that program in the long term. An additional $8 million will go toward rental assistance, mortgage relief or utility payment relief for area residents who have been impacted by the crisis. Qualifying families will likely be able to apply for assistance by July 1, Johnson said. The payments are not made directly to the applicant but to the landlord, utility or bank to which the person owes money. In order to qualify for assistance, residents in need must have an income that is at or below 80% of the area’s median income. For a family of four in Prince William County, that’s $79,000. Undocumented immigrants living in the county are not eligible for housing assistance grants under the federal CARES Act guidelines. Supervisor Margaret Angela Franklin, D-Woodbridge, represents a district with a high population of foreign-born residents. She said the county needs to find a way to close the gaps in housing assistance for undocumented people living in the county.

Small business relief

A small business relief fund has been created by the county’s Department of Economic Development that will provide a total of $5 million in grants to 625 small businesses. There will be 500 grants of $7,500 each for businesses with three to 20 employees, and 125 grants of $10,000 for businesses with 21 to 50 employees. To qualify, small businesses must have less than $1 million in gross receipts. Economic Development Director Christina Winn said that between 90% and 95% of all businesses in Prince William County fit the criteria. To receive a grant, businesses must have a physical location in the county; have a current county business license; have been in business for two years; and have a revenue loss of 25% or more as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Businesses may start applying for assistance between June 1 and 4. Contact Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com and Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com.

STROMAN PICKS HOKIES, JUST LIKE HIS BIG BROTHER Patriot High football recruit announces on his 17th birthday By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The color of the burnout powder gave it away. In a well-crafted 97-second Twitter video, Patriot High rising senior Jalen Stroman emerges from his brother’s muscle car and walks through a cloud of maroon and orange smoke to announce he’ll be playing at Virginia Tech. The safety/wide receiver is following in the footsteps of his older brother Greg, 24, a current Washington Redskins cornerback who played for the Hokies from 2014-18. “It felt like the school that fit me the most. I feel good with the coach-

Stroman visited Virginia Tech, Virginia and Duke in March before the pandemic closed campuses. Most highly recruited rising seniors don’t commit this early. “I really wanted to stand out

Patriot rising senior Jalen Stroman (above) said he’s going to try to wear jersey No. 4 at Virginia Tech, a number he said he’s worn since Little League. Brother Greg wore No. 3 as a Hokie. Greg was a first team all-ACC cornerback and standout return specialist in 2018 and is entering his third season with the Washington Redskins. there,” said Stroman, rated the No. 18 rising senior in Virginia by recruiting website Rivals.com. Stroman pleased Hokie Nation late in the afternoon on May 22, finally posting the news at 5:24 p.m. The well-planned video clip starts with some highlights, then moves to images of Stroman carrying a bag of birthday gifts, then the word “Nervous” on the screen. Soon the car, a Scat Pack Dodge Charger, is seen in a parking lot with maroon and orange smoke rising from below as Stroman steps out and walks toward the camera in a “VT” cap. Then an image flashes that says, “GO HOKIES FOR LIFE.” It’s

gotten 70,000 views as of Tuesday morning. “We got color powder and put it down in front of the car. We practiced plenty of times,” Stroman said. “I’ve had a lot of good responses. People like it, they enjoyed it.” Of the location he said, “It was an open parking lot, an abandoned parking lot.” Stroman has been working out with his brother, who lives in Ashburn and has a weight room and some turf in his backyard. Stroman has gained at least 10 pounds since last season and now says he is 6-foot2 and 200 pounds. “Jalen is one of the hardest workers I have coached and one of the smartest,” said Patriot coach Sean Finnerty. “It is always a special thing to have one of your best players also be one of your hardest workers.” Stroman has started all three years at Patriot. As a junior in 2019, he made 58 tackles with three interceptions and caught 18 passes for 470 yards and five touchdowns, helping the Pioneers go 10-2. As a defensive back, he was a first team all-Region 6B and first team all-Cedar Run District. He was a second team all-Cedar Run receiver. Stroman said he decided on the Hokies a couple weeks ago and told his brother first. “He did not push me to either school. He said to follow my heart and do what I feel best,” said Stroman. “He’s always been my big brother. He’s great to have as a role model. A great person to come behind. He told me, ‘Your decision is not my decision. It’s yours for the next four years. Where you love you go.’’’ Their father is Liberty High basketball star Greg Stroman Sr. Mom Priscilla ran track at Brentsville District High. Stroman said he’s interested in engineering and business, and may want to start his own business, perhaps involving building homes.

OBITUARIES Ann Worischek Harman April 27, 1931 – May 1, 2020

Let us help you place a Memorial or Obituary Call

540.351.1664 Ann Harman, 89, passed away peacefully with her daughter Joyce and sons Stewart and Art in attendance, with her cat CiCi and dog Toby at home on her hilltop farm in Flint Hill, Virginia on a lovely spring day. Ann grew up in the Washington, DC area. Her interest in bees was there from the beginning, writing a little book with her friend Jocelyn Sladen called “Bees and How to Pleez Them” when she was about 10 years old. She earned a degree in Chemistry from Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VA Tech). She was a research chemist at the National Bureau of Standards where she won an award for her work at a time when women in chemistry were rare. After her children were born, Ann moved into teaching science and became Head of the Science Department, Georgetown Day School in Washington, DC. She taught her family, friends and students a great love and respect for nature. After teaching, she moved to Maryland in the late 1970’s and attended a beekeeping course run by Dr Dewey Caron at the University of Maryland. Ann became one of the first Eastern Apiculture Society (EAS) certified master beekeepers in 1981. Ann went on to keep some 50 colonies for honey production. Always active and committed, she was not only a member of but also held office in local, state and national beekeeping organizations. She was the catalyst, along with veterinarian pharmacologists, Drs. Jürgen von Bredow and James Vick, in founding the North American Apiotherapy Society (NAAS) in 1978 at the University of Maryland; she would later serve as advisor for reestablishment as the American Apitherapy Society (AAS) in 1989. In due course, she became assistant apiarist at the University of Maryland and then the state honeybee Extension Specialist. Ann was a dedicated honey show judge. She greatly assisted in design and development of the first US honey judging instructional program at the University of Maryland. She was a popular honey judge in the USA and around the world, including Texas, Maine, Australia, Montreal and Korea. She ‘retired’ to the Flint Hill, VA farm, shared with daughter Joyce’s large-animal veterinary practice, in 1992. Then from 1993 to 2013 she volunteered with at least eight different not-for-profit organizations, teaching beekeeping in 29 countries, undertaking 54 assignments on 5 continents. She was recognized for exceptional service with the President’s Volunteer Service Awards in 2004, 2005 and 2008, and the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. She taught the Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association annual beginning beekeeping class for many years and worked closely with her dear friend Billy Davis (the creator of the beekeeping class teaching curriculum) editing and improving the class teaching materials from its inception and throughout the years. In 1980, Ann was asked to write articles on honey cookery for Gleanings in Bee Culture, now Bee Culture. She soon became a regular contributor, covering all aspects of beekeeping over the next 40 years. Ann finished her last column while in the hospital. She also wrote articles for Bee Craft and was a regular contributor to the Beekeepers’ Quarterly. Her literary work did not stop there. She was a contributor to and co-editor of the 2007 edition of ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture, and was also a contributor to the latest edition that went to press the week she died. She edited and assisted in the publication of many other bee books. Also, in these last months she worked on chapters in the upcoming Bee Craft books, Bee Space to Bee Hive and Bee Hive to Bee Keeper. Ann wrote the chapters on US beekeepers and inventions as well as contributed important research to other parts of the book. In accordance with her wishes, there will be no formal service. Plans for a gathering to celebrate her life are being made and will be held at a future date when social gathering restrictions have been lifted. Contributions toward bee research and student scholarships can be made in her memory to: Eastern Apiculture Society, c/o Treasurer Jacky Hildreth, 3 Summit Terrace, North Yarmouth, ME 04097, treasurer@easternapiculture.org Or American Beekeeping Federation, 500 Discovery Parkway, Suite 125 Superior, Colorado 80027, https://www.abfnet.org/page/donate

Rebecca Bragg Warren (Becky) Rebecca Bragg Warren (Becky) passed away on May 19th 2020 at Blue Ridge Christian Home with her daughter by her side. She was born Marion Rebecca Bragg on January 28, 1926 in Waterloo, Virginia to David Griffith Bragg, Sr. and Mary Sallie Burke Bragg. She married the love of her life, Louie Sayford Warren, Sr. in 1951. They were married 41 years until his death in 1992. Everyone knew her as Becky. She was the oldest of eight siblings and the last one to leave this earth at 94. Much to her dismay, Becky was forced to quit school in the 9th grade to care for her grandmother. Despite the break in her education, she was a smart woman, working as a bookkeeper at North Wales for W.W. Chrylser before having children. Her acts of service continued throughout her life as she cared for her grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and friends of every kind. Her children’s friends spent many hours, days, and sometimes weeks at their home, welcomed and loved by both Becky and her husband. She brought people together with many becoming lifelong friends as a result of her introductions. She was a constant supporter of her church and never failed to always encourage her family to do what is right in God’s eyes. As she became more disabled in her later years, she selflessly chose to reside at Blue Ridge Christian Home, saying that she wanted her children to have the freedom to live their own lives. Blue Ridge Christian Home truly became her home, as she was cared for and loved in a way that only a family can. Her family will forever be grateful for their constant care over her nearly 12 year residence there. In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her siblings, Jeraline Winifred Bragg, Sallie Elaine Bragg, Barbara Anne Bragg, Lucille Bragg Haley, David Bragg, Jr., Dorothy “Dot” Bragg Johnson, Gordon Bragg, and many other precious family members and friends. She is survived by her son, Louie Sayford Warren, Jr. (Patricia Anne), her daughter, Mary Alice Warren Neal, her grandchildren, Jessica Warren Rhoads, Sophia (Nellie) Warren Escorcia (Jose), Andrea Henry Whorton (Robert), Joshua Daniel-Thomas Warren (Genna), eight great grandchildren, Taylor, Gavin, Miranda, Adam, Yanina, Emelia, Flavia, and Bennett and six of her seven Godchildren. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private service will be held. In remembrance of Becky, donations may be sent to the people who cared for her body and nourished her soul: Blue Ridge Christian Home, 7034 Catlett Rd., Bealeton, VA 22712. Becky’s grave may be visited at any time at her home church, Grace Episcopal Church-Casanova, 5096 Grace Church Lane, Midland, VA 22728. Online condolences may be expressed at moserfuneralhome.com
