Vaccine push targets hesitancy Mobile clinics continue in hope of reaching herd immunity

After waiting for nearly an hour in line, Mark Thomas strolled out of Manassas Park community center on May 6 wearing his bright yellow construction vest and dusty work boots. He had just received his second shot of Moderna.

The 55-year-old concrete construction worker from Gainesville said he initially had reservations about getting a COVID-19 vaccine, but his wife and two daughters changed his mind. One of his daughters has asthma, potentially putting her at a higher risk for severe side effects of the virus, he said.

“I wasn’t crazy about getting it. I’m glad I did now, though,” Thomas said.

Getting the vaccine isn’t very popular among his co-workers though.

Thomas said only three people on his 15-person construction crew had received the vaccine because they

are worried about the side effects or don’t think the vaccine will be effective against the virus.

“In the long run, if it keeps you out of the hospital and keeps you from dying, I’ll talk to them. But a lot of people just don’t believe in it,” Thomas said.

The Brood X cicadas have arrived, but Prince William County has mostly missed out on the action. While areas in Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland have been inundated by hordes of periodical cicadas climbing trees, clumsily flying around and loudly singing their mating songs, the county has largely been excluded from Brood X. Periodical cicadas started to emerge in the region within the last couple weeks after spending 17 years developing underground. Many areas have felt the impact of huge numbers of the large, beady-eyed bugs.

Manassas Park resident Shara Hicks said she visited her mother, Phillis Cooke, in Montgomery County, Maryland, this week and found so many cicadas that she had

Cicadas completely covered the netting she put up earlier this month to protect a young fig tree from cicada damage. To enjoy being outside, Cooke erected a tent so she can sit outside without being swarmed.

Delegate candidates tout endorsements, experience

Times Staff Writer

With less than two weeks until the Virginia Democratic primary, 31st District House candidate Rod Hall is boasting a lengthy list of endorsements from local leaders in a four-way race for the seat occupied by incumbent Del. Elizabeth Guzman, who is also seeking re-election.

Hall, 44, has received far more local endorsements than any other candidate in the race, including endorsements from two local state senators, two local delegates, two Prince William supervisors, two Prince William school board members, three Dumfries town council

members and the mayors of Manassas, Occoquan and Dumfries.

Guzman, 48, also has a lengthy list of endorsers. But only four elected officials of the 24 that have endorsed her represent parts of Prince William County. Guzman said in an interview Monday she is more focused on receiving the endorsement of 31st District voters.

“For me, the key people that are going to endorse me are the people of the 31st District,” Guzman said.

COVID-19 cases tick up, county marks its 500th death Staff Reports After declining to new 2021 lows last week, the local rate of COVID-19 infections per capita, while still low, crept up a bit over the past week – rising from 3 infections per 100,000 residents to 5.4. Also, the Prince William Health District has reported four additional COVID-19 deaths, bringing the county’s death toll to a new milestone: 500.

The latest local fatalities included three men and one woman. One was in their 30s, bringing the number of local residents lost to COVID-19 between the ages of 30 and 39 to 10. Across Virginia, a total of 92 people in their 30s have died due to COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to VDH data.

The other recent local deaths included one person in their 50s, bringing the death toll in that age group to 59, and two people in their 70s.

Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park have so far lost 141 people in their 70s to COVID-19, according to VDH. All four of the recent victims were residents of Prince William County. The total local death toll is now 558, and includes 500 residents of Prince William County, 47 of the City of Manassas and 11 of Manassas Park.

Local cases

The Prince William Health District is now reporting an average of 25 cases a day, up from 18 VACCINES, from page 1 With more than half of all Virginians having received at least their first dose of the vaccine, local health officials in Prince William are now turning their efforts toward those who are reluctant get the vaccine, or who face barriers to access. The shift comes as demand for vaccines has leveled off, leaving some local clinics and pharmacies with more open appointments and fewer takers.

In Prince William County, 49% of its nearly half-a-million residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 38% are fully vaccinated according to the Virginia Department of Health. Still, many Virginians say they are on the fence about getting the vaccine, or don’t plan to get it at all, about 31%, according to a recent Morning Consult poll.

Locally, overcoming some of that resistance means bringing the vaccine directly to underserved communities.

“We’re in that group of people who are not sure, or are hesitant and need to be convinced,” said Sean Johnson, a community engagement coordinator for the Prince William Health District.

Since the beginning of April, the Prince William Health District has vaccinated an estimated 6,000 residents at mobile or “pop-up” clinics focused on communities with lower vaccination rates identified by census tract-level data. Prior to the events, teams of workers canvas surrounding neighborhoods with flyers and information to spread the word.

The key to reaching people in underserved communities with the vaccine is “convenience and the ability to have it in their neighborhood,” Johnson said.

George Mason University’s Mason and Partners, or MAP, Clinic in Manassas Park, is also hosting mo-

last weekend or an increase of about 41%. The rate of infection per capita, however, is still in the “low” range at 5.4 cases per capita. Anything below 10 cases per 100,000 residents is considered low.

Across the state, however, confirmed cases have declined from last week to 464 per day, a drop of 34%. This is also 64% lower than the previous low of 2021, and 61% below the summer highs of 2020, according to the RAND Corporation, which analyzes the pandemic in Virginia.

Cases are declining or plateauing in all of Virginia’s local health districts -- a first since the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute began reporting trajectories, the institute’s most recent report said.

The numbers suggest that the vaccinations and ongoing vigilance by Virginia residents have overcome the rise in more contagious variants, even though the B.1.1.7 variant, which originated in the United Kingdom, now accounts for just over 80% of the samples sequenced in Virginia, according to the UVA institute’s May 21 report.

All five “variants of concern” have been detected in Virginia. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.K. variant is most prevalent in the region (which includes Delaware, Washington, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia), but variants from Brazil, South Africa, California, New York and India have all been detected through genomic testing.

bile vaccination clinics in coordination with the Prince William Health District. The MAP Clinic serves underserved, uninsured and other vulnerable populations in Prince William and Fairfax.

MAP Clinic co-director Rebecca Sutter said Monday that after months of mass vaccination clinics held at the Manassas Park Community Center, the clinic hit what she calls “the hesitancy wall.”

“We did all the mass vaccinations for those early adopters, the ones that were ready and primed and wanted it. And then we got the approvals for the 12- to 15-year-olds, and we had the second wave of early adopters that were really excited to get this.

But from here on out, I think it’s really going to be about getting into those communities,” Sutter said.

Sutter said the MAP Clinic has held seven mobile clinics in Prince William and Fairfax and has fully vaccinated about 2,500 people.

This past week, the Prince William Health District set up mobile clinics at Todos Supermarket in Dumfries and at Nothern Virginia Community College in Manassas.

For Rubidia Blair getting a Johnson & Johnson vaccine at Todos was a pleasant surprise. Blair said she didn’t know the vaccines were available at the Woodbridge store until she arrived to do her grocery shopping on Sunday afternoon.

When Blair saw the team of vaccine outreach workers outside the store, she came straight in to get her shot. Blair said she had already suffered from COVID-19 last spring but was waiting to get a vaccine because she is undergoing chemotherapy and only recently received her doctor’s OK. Enduring COVID-19, she said, “was awful.”

“I had it for three weeks and I lost like 30 pounds,” she said. “I really don’t want to go through that again.”

Prince William Health District weekly COVID-19 report 50,885 Cases (Up 168) 1,875 Hospitalizations (Up 9) 558 Deaths (up 4) 3% Percent-positivity rate (down from 3.3%) Note: Numbers current as of Wednesday, May 26. New cases, hospitalizations, deaths and vaccinations in red and blue were added between May 20-26.

Hospitalizations

There were four local hospitalizations for COVID-19 in the past week, those of one resident in their 30s, two in their 60s and one age 80 or older, according to VDH data.

Across the state, the number of people hospitalized as of Saturday, May 22 was 561, down nearly 20% from the previous week. As of Monday, May 24, the number of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 had fallen even further to 503, including 100 in Northern Virginia.

Blair said she wasn’t sure how to go about signing up for the vaccine or how long she might have to wait to receive it. When she happened upon it by chance at Todos, she said she was relieved.

“I just want to get it. It’s so good to have it right here, right now,” Blair said.

Blair was the kind of person the COVID-19 vaccine team hoped to encounter at Todos grocery store – people who wanted the vaccine but haven’t yet had the time or the ability yet to get it. The pop-up clinic at the grocery store administered about 170 J&J shots between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 23, said Michael San Juan, who was overseeing the clinic.

It was the second vaccine clinic to take place at Todos since the health district began taking the vaccine on the road. About 1,000 shots of the J&J vaccine were administered during the first clinic in April, San Juan said.

Now the emphasis is on addressing hesitancy. Outreach workers answer questions about the vaccine

and do their best to assure residents it’s free, safe and available to all -regardless of immigration status, San Juan said.

“We’re happy to bring the vaccine to them and then, at the same time, we try to bring them peace of mind by answering their questions,” San Juan said.

Outreach workers at the clinic said they hear a variety of myths and misinformation about the vaccine.

Among men, getting the vaccine can be perceived as a sign of weakness, one said.

There’s also hesitancy around going to a county-run or government-run clinic to get the vaccine, as some are wary about giving their names and other information to government workers, San Juan said.

“There are a lot of misconceptions. But once we take the time to educate them and answer all of their questions, they’re starting to trust us,” he added. “We just want them to understand that we’re helping them protect themselves.”

GOP candidates see ‘different path’ for Virginia

By Daniel Berti

“This Virginia is not the Virginia we know. ... The Democrats have indeed put her in the ditch.”

Times Staff Writer

Republican candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general pitched “a different path” for Virginia during a Monday rally at the Montclair Tabernacle Church in Dumfries that drew a crowd of more than 150 supporters.

Gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, lieutenant governor candidate Winsome Sears and attorney general candidate Jason Miyares showcased a statewide Republican ticket they said would unify Virginia voters this fall as Republicans aim to win a statewide race for the first time since 2009.

“Winning in November is not going to be an easy path. And yet we know it is not about the three of us.

It is about all of us. This is about us coming together like never before.

This is about Republicans standing up and locking arms, and, oh by the way, with independents and with Democrats, because Virginians are coming together like never before,” Youngkin said.

Youngkin, 54, said he would chart “a different path forward” that would stand in stark contrast to the Democratic Party, and in contrast to former governor Terry McAuliffe who served a first term as governor from 2013 to 2017 and is running for re-election in the Democratic primary this year.

“This Virginia is not the Virginia we know. It just isn’t. The Virginia we know is the best place to live and work and play and raise a family.

And the Democrats have indeed put her in the ditch,” Youngkin said. “ ... McAuliffe wants to get rid of right to work. He wants every Virginian to pay a portion of their salary to his union boss friends. He wants big government to have big taxes and big regulations. Folks, that has not worked for Virginia, and they blew it,” he added.

Youngkin told the audience his top priority is “getting open on day one” and cutting back the red tape “piled on Virginia businesses.”

Pandemic restrictions have limited in-person attendance at events, businesses and schools since the pandemic began a little over a year

GLENN YOUNGKIN, GOP nominee for governor

About 150 people turned out for a May 24 rally for GOP candidates at the Montclair Tabernacle Church in Dumfries. ago, but those restrictions have been eased as more people have received the vaccine. Still, indoor gatherings are currently limited at 100 people.

That will change Friday, May 28, when Gov. Ralph Northam (D) will lift all occupancy and social distancing limits across the state. Northam lifted the state’s universal mask mandate on May 15.

People at the GOP rally sat shoulder to shoulder at Montclair Tabernacle Church and were largely unmasked during the rally.

Youngkin grew up in Richmond and Virginia Beach and now lives in Great Falls in Fairfax County. He spent 25 years working at the Carlyle Group, a global private equity firm and served as co-CEO of the firm from 2018 until his retirement in September 2020.

Youngkin went on to talk about his plans for Virginia schools, including banning critical race theory from being taught to Virginia students. Critical race theory is an idea that originated in academic circles in the 1970s that examines how governmental policies and laws preserve systemic racism.

Republican lawmakers in nearly a dozen states have introduced legislation to ban critical race theory in public schools, efforts that seek to limit

how instructors can teach their students about race and systemic racism.

Sears, 57, a former Virginia House delegate, a Jamaican-born immigrant and U.S. Marine veteran, also leveled criticism at the Virginia Democratic Party, Northam and McAuliffe. She said the governor and former governor had packed governmental boards with “nonsense and idiotic people.”

“They don’t have any good policy.

It’s just hate, hate, hate,” Sears said.

Sears, who represented the Norfolk area 90th District in the House of Delegates from 2002 to 2004, was the first Black female Republican to serve in the Virginia House and is the first Black female Republican to run for lieutenant governor. Sears said the Virginia Democratic Party has so far struggled to define her.

“They don’t know what to do with me. I couldn’t wait for this time to come because they’re having a hard time pegging me. I’m Black, in case you didn’t notice. I’m a woman.

I’m an immigrant. These are all the people they say all you deplorables hate,” Sears told the audience.

Miyares, 45, is currently a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the Virginia Beach area 82nd District and is a former Virginia Beach prosecutor.

He also touted his diverse background. Miyares said his mother fled Cuba in the 1960s following the Cuban revolution and later became a U.S. citizen.

“If you ever want to be proud of your country, go to a citizenship,” Miyares said. “ ... It’s a powerful moment when they take that Oath of Allegiance to the United States.”

Republicans elected their statewide candidates in a first-ever unassembled convention on May 8 with satellite voting locations set up throughout the commonwealth.

About 30,000 registered Republican delegates participated in the election, about 57% of the 53,000 delegates that party officials anticipated.

In Prince William County, just more than 1,500 delegates voted in the convention – about 40% of the estimated turnout.

The Democratic primary for governor is Tuesday, June 8. Early voting has been under way since April 23.

Democratic voters will pick candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and the House of Delegates. Five candidates are running for the Democratic nomination for governor: McAuliffe; Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax; state Sen. Jennifer McClellan, D-9th; Del. Lee Carter, D-50th; and former delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy. The Democratic primary for lieutenant governor has six candidates: Del. Hala Ayala, D-51st; Del. Mark Levine, D-45th; Norfolk City Councilwoman Andria McClellan; Del. Sam Rasoul, D-11th; Fairfax NAACP President Sean Perryman; and Xavier Warren.

The Democratic primary for attorney general has two candidates, incumbent Attorney General Mark Herring and Del. Jay Jones, D-89th.

The remaining candidates, Idris O’Connor, 25, and Kara Pitek, 38, have a far shorter list of endorsements from elected officials than either Guzman or Hall.

Guzman was first elected to the district in 2017 and was re-elected in 2019. She is among the first Hispanic women to serve in the Virginia General Assembly. In 2020, Guzman announced she was running for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor and would not seek re-election in the House. Several months later, she announced she would run for both seats. In April, she dropped her bid for lieutenant governor.

Guzman has been at the forefront of progressive policy issues like universal paid sick leave, raising the minimum wage and ending the ban on collective bargaining in Virginia.

Her bills on those issues have been approved by Democrats in the Virginia House of Delegates but met headwinds in the Senate, resulting in her bills being killed or watered down.

“I’m proud that we have a progressive House Democratic Caucus.

But then it gets to the senate, and it gets watered down or killed,” Guzman said. “I couldn’t even get [universal paid sick leave] through in the middle of a pandemic.”

Guzman said she has been an effective legislator for her constituents and is leaning on her four years of experience in the House of Delegates as a major element of her re-election bid.

Hall is a former appointee of President Barack Obama’s and former congressional staffer who now works as public policy advisor at the Washington Office of K&L Gates, focusing on transportation and infrastructure issues. He serves as the chairman of the Virginia Aviation Board and as a board member of the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority.

Hall said in an interview Tuesday he would not have entered the race if he knew Guzman planned to run for re-election in the 31st District.

He added that his lengthy list of local endorsers is likely due to his state and federal policymaking experience and his “laser focus” on the interests of his constituents. “I think the diverse list of endorsers that you see represented behind this campaign understand that and appreciate that,” Hall said.

Hall is campaigning heavily on transportation and infrastructure issues. He is a supporter of increasing investment in mass transit and highspeed rail service, including advocating for the Metro Blue Line to extend into Prince William County, which has among the highest levels of traffic congestion in Virginia.

Hall said his experience in transit, including working on Capitol Hill to get funding for a recent Metro and light rail expansion in Dallas sets him apart from the other candidates in the race.

Hall is also campaigning on creating universal pre-K education in Virginia, expanding collective bargaining rights for teachers and school employees, expanding the state’s workers compensation system for essential

Kara Pitek

Idris O’Connor workers and preserving Virginia’s recently expanded Medicaid program.

“These are substantive issues that will have a direct impact on constituents of the 31st,” Hall said.

O’Connor is running on a progressive platform that includes significant police and criminal justice reforms including ending qualified immunity for police officers, repealing mandatory minimum sentencing and “de-felonizing” simple possession of narcotics to a misdemeanor charge.

O’Connor is also proposing a “Housing First Plan” for Virginia to address the commonwealth’s affordable housing issues. The plan includes increasing the number of affordable units available throughout Virginia, providing additional funding for the First Time Home Buyers Program, increasing funding for Virginia’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund and enacting a statewide “Tenant Bill of Rights” and universal rent control.

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

Pitek is campaigning on increasing gun control in the commonwealth. Pitek proposes gun licensing in the commonwealth, ensuring that gun owners pass a background check before they purchase a gun.

She is also proposing a three-day waiting period to purchase a firearm.

Pitek, who serves on the board of Casa BruMar Foundation, is also running on boosting protections for LGBTQ Virginians, including increased mental health, social and homeless services, and prioritizing equity in Virginia schools to ensure no one is “bullied or discriminated against because of who they are.”

The Democratic primary is Tuesday, June 8. The winner of the 31st District Democratic primary will face Republican Ben Baldwin in the general election this November.

Lifeguard shortage will keep most county pools closed for Memorial Day weekend

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Prince William will open its pools and waterparks this summer – after the coronavirus pandemic kept them closed in 2020. But a lack of lifeguards will keep the county from opening all six of its outdoor pools and waterparks in time for Memorial Day weekend.

Traditionally, the Memorial Day weekend marks the opening day for the county’s pools and waterparks.

But this year, only the Waterworks Waterpark in Dale City will open in time for the holiday weekend. The county needs to hire and train more than two dozen lifeguards and other employees to open additional facilities, according to Amir Wenrich, assistant director of marketing for Prince William County’s Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department.

The county’s seasonal hiring effort has taken a hit both because the pools lost several returning employees when the pools closed last summer and because the county has been unable to hold its large, in-person hiring fairs because of COVID-19 restrictions, Wenrich said.

“Trying to get people back has certainly been difficult,” Wenrich said Tuesday, after the county an-

Waterworks Waterpark in Dale City will be open this Memorial Day weekend from noon to 6 p.m. starting Saturday, May 29. nounced the pools would reopen this season via a news release.

The county is hiring lifeguards now and is once again offering free training to those who are not yet certified. The job is open to anyone who will be 15 by June 15. The starting pay is $11.67 an hour. The process starts with a swim test and then proceeds with about two days of in-person training, which is conducted over the weekends, Wenrich said.

“We pay for them to become fully

licensed. It’s a lifelong skill they can possess. It’s a great team-building experience, and they can work at the pools all summer, make new friends and keep people safe.”

Waterworks Waterpark in Dale City will open this Memorial Day weekend at full capacity from Saturday, May 29 to Monday, May 31, from noon to 6 p.m. each day.

Other pools, including Splashdown Waterpark in Manassas, are expected to open on a week-by-week basis

based on lifeguard staffing levels. The status of the pool and waterpark openings, along with operation hours, can be found at www.pwca.gov/pools.

Hammill Mill Pool in Woodbridge will be closed for an as-yet-undetermined amount of time due to needed repairs to the bottom of the pool, Wenrich said.

Some facilities may have reduced concessions, and extra activities such as after-hours rentals will not be available due to staffing limitations, according to a county news release.

Visitors who are unvaccinated or are not fully vaccinated are strongly encouraged to wear masks. The county will continue enhanced cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting procedures and will comply with all applicable local and state COVID-19 laws and best practices, the release said.

“We are elated to re-open our gates this summer,” Seth Hendler-Voss, director of the county’s parks, recreation and tourism department said, in the news release. “We hope to see everyone soon; there’s a lot of splashing to catch up with!”

Those interested in applying to be a lifeguard should visit swimtest.pwcparksjobs.com to schedule a swim test.

CICADAS, from page 1 Eric Day, a Virginia Tech entomologist with the Virginia Cooperative Extension, predicted earlier this spring that Brood X periodical cicadas would show up in Prince William County, but that their presence would be “spotty.”

Cindy Smith, an associate professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University and cicada superfan, said she wasn’t surprised that Prince William is not seeing a large number of cicadas this year. She said Prince William is on the outer edge of the Brood X territory. The county was more heavily impacted by the Brood II cicadas, which last surfaced in 2013 and aren’t expected to return until 2030.

The recent emergence of Brood X cicadas after a few warm days last week has proven the experts correct.

Prince William did not completely miss Brood X, but the only area to see a measurable volume of cicadas is in and around Lake Ridge, on the eastern edge of the county. That’s

according to both Smith and the “Cicada Safari” app, which maps Brood X’s emergence based on citizen science observations.

Smith easily found several cicadas on the walking trails at Lake Ridge Park this week. She discovered some cicadas just emerging from the ground, some in the process of molting and others hanging out on the underside of leaves.

She said she believes cicadas are “one of the best teaching tools out there for teaching kids about insect anatomy because they don’t bite, they can’t sting, and they’re clumsy and can’t really run away from you.”

Smith said it’s not too late to experience the ecological phenomena. Prince William residents can find cicadas in either Lake Ridge or Burke Lake parks, the latter of which is just north of Prince William in Fairfax County.

But it’s best to act quickly. The cicadas are probably peaking this weekend, Smith said, and are expected to be completely gone by the end of June.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

In support of Fairfax school board member critical of Israeli bombing The Virginia Council of Muslim Organizations condemns the attempts to attack and silence Fairfax School Board Representative Abrar Omeish for personally criticizing the Israeli government’s recent attacks on Palestinian civilians.

We must never forget that the First Amendment guarantees our right to speech and protects our diverse faith communities. The ongoing attempts to condemn Ms. Omeish’s comments are chillingly similar to the criticisms and outright physical attacks on other faith communities by those who detest seeing the solidarity of all our minority faith communities.

The indiscriminate violence against worshippers at the Al Aqsa Mosque – one of the holiest sites in Islam – was truly shocking, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. It is genuinely sad that Israel’s government chose to increase the oppression of both Palestinian Muslims and Christians in Gaza and spark these kinds of actions that only further inflame the fragile situation instead of seeking a peaceful resolution to disputes.

VCMO member institutions value the superb cooperation we have had working with local leaders of various faiths, and jointly pursuing justice and equity in all parts of our

community. God willing, we can continue our pursuit of justice while still accepting that we may hold different views on some issues.

However, if we do not oppose this naked attempt to attack the Muslim community and its representatives in Virginia, we are simply empowering the bigotry that we ALL have fought so hard to eradicate.

We therefore cannot accept efforts to condemn an elected official simply for expressing her personal concern about human rights violations anywhere in the world. And we cannot allow this important discussion to be hijacked – or even influenced – by bigots who are anti-Islam today, but will be anti-Semitic, anti-Asian, anti-African American, and anti-whoever becomes their next target tomorrow.

We moreover cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from the critical work of equity and inclusion that all of our organizations strive for all across Virginia. We therefore stand with Abrar Omeish, and hope that everyone who seeks justice for all will do the same.

RAFI UDIN AHMED Chairman, Virginia Council of Muslim Organizations board Manassas

Bipartisan dialogue: An example for us all A small but significant bipartisan dialogue occurred this month in Fauquier. More than 70 residents volunteered to read and discuss Arthur Brooks’ book, “Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt.” The initiative was organized by Leadership Fauquier with collaboration from the Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center, The Open Book in Warrenton and the Fauquier County Democratic and Republican committees.

Brooks offers “5 Rules to Subvert the Culture of Contempt:” • Refuse to be used by the powerful.

• Escape your bubble: Go where you’re not invited.

• Say no to contempt: Treat others with respect, even when it is difficult.

• Disagree better: Be part of a healthy competition of ideas.

• Tune out: Disconnect from unproductive debates.

These are good lessons for all of us, and especially our elected officials!

Republicans have an opportunity to witness the “competition of ideas” with the formation of “A Call for American Renewal” announced by five well-known moderate Republicans, and other initiatives such as Representative Adam Kinzinger’s “Country First.”

Democrats are also airing and acknowledging internal differences of opinion as they work to formulate a policy agenda with the thinnest majority in Congress, which places each individual Democratic senator, such as Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, into a unique “veto” position.

Arthur Brooks ends his book with a reminder that each of us can be a leader by example.

Long-awaited new library opens in Manassas

By Cher Muzyk

Contributing Writer

Prince William County’s 12th library is a first for the City of Manassas, and it’s finally open on a regular basis for area residents.

The library’s initial opening date in February was postponed due to an ice storm. Then operations were further delayed when many of the new branch’s librarians were assigned to COVID-19 call centers, and patrons weren’t allowed into the building because of social-distancing guidelines.

But despite those challenges, the library’s opening has still been a great success, said librarian Mirna Turcios.

“We took advantage of the building’s location next to Giant to showcase books to the public through our front windows using our modular bookshelves. We had a very active first few weeks of curbside service in the community,” she said, adding: “In April, we had over 300 curbside appointments.”

The 6,000-square-foot library is located in the Wellington Shopping Center in a space formerly occupied by a gym. The space has been completely renovated and thoughtfully appointed with moveable bookshelves, comfortable (yet wipe-able) furniture and plenty of work tables that allow the branch to “be flexible and make the most of our space,” explained Turcios.

The library is situated near a senior center as well as several neighborhoods that are all within walking distance. Turcios said that the library gets a lot of walkers and also bicyclists, so many in fact, that the City of Manassas put up a bike rack near the library’s parking lot.

Everyone who looks into the win-

Turcios said that Manny is always seasonally dressed and is currently outfitted as a gardener growing healthy vegetables. Last month, Manny celebrated Manassas City’s new Bee City USA designation by wearing a beekeeper’s suit. Turcios said that Manny gives passers-by something fun to look at and also invites them into the library.

Turcios noted the library’s vast collection of reading materials, from board books for beginning readers, a world languages collection, study materials, the library’s “Fortunate Finds” collection of best-sellers, to large-print books and everything in between. She said that there is something for everyone.

According to Turcios, library staff members are the creative minds be-

hind their innovative virtual programming, which recently included a popular “bad poetry” contest for poetry month. Over the summer, the library will feature a “literary feast,” which will encourage people to prepare a meal based on any book or movie and then share what they made.

“We’ll pick a winner, and they’ll get a prize,” Turcios said.

The library also offers “take and make” kits that are generally fun crafts with written directions and online video tutorials.

The library’s capacity is currently set at 19 people, but as COVID-19 restrictions ease, that number will grow.

The library also has two study/ meeting rooms that are not yet available to patrons due to social-distancing guidelines. One of them is outfitted with a Webex board and the other has a conference phone. Several public computers are also available for use at

the library along with internet access, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.

Turcios said the library’s free wi-fi is also very popular with library patrons.

Calvin Meadows, 67, is a resident of the Wellington neighborhood and said he enjoys visiting the library and sitting outside at one of the new bistro tables on the sidewalk in front of the library.

Meadows, an Air Force veteran and retiree of the National Weather Service, said he likes to sit in the shade reading and take advantage of the library’s free wi-fi. An Agatha Christie fan, Meadows says he is looking forward to checking out the library’s collection of mysteries.

Turcios said she is excited about what the community library has to offer patrons both virtually and in-person.

“Libraries are one of the last completely free public spaces where you don’t have to spend any money to be there for however long you want to be there,” she said. Our goal is to “provide a space where people can pursue their own interests completely independently.”

SOFTBALL POWERHOUSES HEAD FOR HOME Osbourn Park, Woodbridge, Colgan and Brentsville flexing muscles in their districts

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

Like a fast-moving pitcher’s duel, it feels like the 2021 high school softball season just started even though it’s almost over.

As local teams grind through

compressed schedules loaded with in-district foes, a few contenders have emerged atop the Cardinal, Cedar Run, and Northwestern districts.

District tournaments begin next week, then regionals start June 14 with the state tourney opener June 22. State champions will be decided June 26.

CEDAR RUN DISTRICT OSBOURN PARK

-Record: 6-0 district, 7-1 overall -Head coach: Patrick DeRosa -Team Twitter: @OsbournParkSB -Notable: In 2019, the Jackets made the regional semis with a roster including 10 freshmen.

-How’s it going? Two years ago (the last time a full softball season was played), Osbourn Park jumped out to a 16-0 record and won the Cedar Run tournament on the way to a 20-3 mark and a spot in the region’s semi-final round, all with a roster featuring 10 freshmen.

Those frosh are now juniors, giving fourth-year head coach Patrick DeRosa plenty to work with.

“We only have one senior graduating this year [catcher Jessika Seader] and the rest of our team is filled out with three sophomores and four freshmen,” said DeRosa, in his seventh year overall as a Jackets coach. “The girls on the team are experienced softball players with a desire to keep getting better and win as a team.”

Osbourn Park has done just that in 2021. Headlined by junior pitcher Alena Hillyard, an Eastern Kentucky University commit, the Jackets have relied on solid pitching and an offense that puts pressure on opposing defenses.

“We are more of a contactoriented team,” DeRosa said. “We emphasize putting the ball in play and ... we coach aggressive runners.”

PHOTO BY LEO CRESPO

With contributions throughout their balanced lineup, Osbourn Park has knocked 86 base hits through its first eight games, though just two have been homers.

Seader and juniors Cassie Mills and Makenna Archer are among OP’s top hit-makers. Another junior, Charlotte Rudacille, clubbed a rare Jackets’ home run May 21 in a 13-5 win over Battlefield.

Hillyard owns a 5-1 record with a 3.67 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 38 innings, including a 15-strikeout performance in beating Battlefield.

DeRosa said Hillyard is at her best when games matter most.

“Alena brings a fierce attitude, with a strong desire to beat anyone she pitches against,” he said.

Given the success already experienced by the core of the Jackets’ team, the coach anticipates the program continuing on a positive trajectory.

“The OP softball program has been good for the last decade,” DeRosa said. “We want to carry on the tradition and continue that run of success into the future.”

NORTHWESTERN DISTRICT BRENTSVILLE

-Record: 5-2 district -Head coach: Mike Post -Team Twitter: @BDHSsoftball -Notable: After opening 0-2, the Tigers have reeled off five straight wins.

-How’s it going? As soon as they climbed over .500 to atone for two early losses, Brentsville faced first place Skyline on May 18.

After five innings, Brentsville walked away with a 12-2 run-rule victory over the Hawks and kept alive their chance at a regular season crown. That chance grew even more May 21 when the Tigers nipped Monroe 9-8 on the road, surviving a late comeback attempt to run their win-streak to five.

Freshman Téa Cornett has been one of Brentsville’s brightest stars, both in the batter’s box and the pitcher’s circle. She tossed an 11-strikeout perfect game April 30 versus Mason, and smashed a tone-setting first-inning grand slam to beat Skyline.

Sophomore catcher Natalie Quinlan, junior Ellie Post, and senior Mara Brooks supply much of the power for the Tigers’ lineup, backed by the strong bats of Lexie Reid, Rachel Edwards, and Sierra Tannheiser. Quinlan, Post, and Cornett have all homered for the Tigers’ offense, with Post going deep multiple times.

Another freshman, Kirstyn Baker, forms a formidable duo with Cornett in the circle.

CARDINAL DISTRICT COLGAN

-Record: 5-1 district, 7-1 overall -Head coach: Scott Thomas -Team Twitter: @Colgan_softball -Notable: The Sharks’ new head coach didn’t meet his team until the week before spring tryouts.

-How’s it going? There’s an oldfashioned pennant race brewing between the Woodbridge Vikings and the Colgan Sharks. Each has just one loss, coming at the hands of the other.

Colgan opened with a 9-6 loss at Woodbridge, a setback avenged May 14 with a 12-2 defeat of the Vikings.

The rebound speaks to the focus that first-year head coach Scott Thomas has witnessed from his team.

“I didn’t get to meet the girls in person until one week before tryout,” said Thomas, who’d been called up for a month of duty in the Air Force Reserves. “Prior to that we weren’t permitted, due to COVID, to conduct off-season workouts. Put in that situation, the girls really bought in and worked extremely hard.”

The hard work has paid off. The Sharks, a program introduced in 2017, are contending for the Cardinal District title with a roster led by five seniors, all of whom are poised to play collegiately next spring.

Pitcher Morgan Thornton, a Howard University commit, is among them. Thornton owns a 6-1 record with a 1.66 ERA, holding hitters to a .216 batting average and striking out 68 in those appearances.

“She throws hard and has very good command and movement,” said Thomas of Thornton, who’s also a big bat in the Sharks’ lineup.

Izzy Adame and Halee Hawkins are two more potent middle-of-theorder bats. Thomas noted that four Sharks are batting over .500 and two are slugging over 1.000.

“No slappers in the lineup.

Our team hits the ball hard!” said Thomas.

Hawkins is slated to play for Virginia Wesleyan, while fellow seniors Bella Piacesi (Mount Aloysius College, Pa.), Kendall Bentley (Christopher Newport), and Catie Hopkins (Virginia Tech) are also bound for the college ranks.

Thomas is an experienced head coach, following a five-year stint leading Riverbend’s program before taking the reins at Colgan. He said the Sharks expect to compete for a state championship.

“With their leadership mixed with young talent, it makes us a very strong and deep team,” Thomas said.

WOODBRIDGE

-Record: 7-1 district, 8-1 overall -Head coach: Nicole Belk -Team Twitter: @WSHSVikingSB -Notable: The Vikings took two straight from Forest Park on May 21 and May 24, both in comeback fashion.

-How’s it going? Not many high school softball teams can boast the sheer power of the Woodbridge Vikings.

It’s not just that they’re averaging 12.8 runs per game, or that they’ve tallied at least nine runs in each of their victories so far. It’s that Woodbridge pounds the ball out of the park.

“Offensively, the Lady Vikings have been on fire this season,” thirdyear head coach Nicole Belk said.

The Vikings have 100 hits through their first nine games, including eight home runs by five different hitters.

As a team, Woodbridge amassed 76 RBIs in eight contests.

Junior catcher Sarah Medellin, a Shenandoah University recruit, has three homers, including a pair of game-deciding grand slams against Colgan and Forest Park.

Freshman Hailey Johnson owns two home runs, while fellow freshmen Kylie Barbier and Jada Holt and sophomore Grace Clary have homered once each. Junior Ryleigh Moore, sophomore Lexi Beach, and senior Tatum Gregory, a Greensboro College commit, round out the lineup.

Prymak, a senior committed to Randolph Macon. Prymak is the steady starter, while Clary is the strikeout artist with 39 whiffs in limited innings.

They’re helped by batterymate Medellin, who’s nabbed three wouldbe base stealers and picked off another from the catcher’s spot.

“This season’s team is one of a kind,” Belk assessed. “The relationship they have with each other is one I’ve never seen in my 10 years of coaching.”

Belk saw the fruits of that relationship on display in back-toback come-from-behind victories over Forest Park.

“Our biggest accomplishment was being down 9-1 in the fourth inning, and scoring 10 runs,” she said of her team’s 17-12 win May 21.

That was before Medellin delivered a grand slam May 24 to pull out a 7-3 victory over those same Bruins.

“The word ‘team’ is an understatement,” Belk said. “They are truly a family.”

His curious mind led him to immerse himself in every new interest, reading and researching in depth. Larry was an art teacher in the public schools of Eastern Kentucky, owner of Hackley Gallery in Winchester, KY, moving the gallery to Berea, KY for a number of years. He had a keen eye for Folk Art, collecting art and curating many museum and gallery shows through the years.

Larry became interested in Contemporary American Folk Art while living in KY, and became renowned for his expertise in that field, authoring and collaborating on multiple books related to southern pottery, quilts, Kentucky Folk Art, carved canes, and more.

As a child, Larry was intrigued by old crocks used to preserve foods, Victorian hair wreaths, and other historic items in the home of his Grandmother Hackley. His Grandmother Zinn introduced him to baking, gardening, canning and more. He studied bugs, dissected frogs, collected rocks, raised exotic chickens and fish, and experimented with edible plants, all before becoming an adult and venturing off to make his way in his chosen profession.

Fiercely independent, creative and talented, he will be missed by all who knew him as a kind, generous man with an easy-going spirit, who loved his family and friends, and all things interesting and beautiful.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to the Hackley Family Scholarship Fund, c/o HEADWATERS- Public Education Foundation, P.O. Box 368, Washington VA 22747.

Arthur Landon (Al) Gore Al Gore, born September 30, 1918 in Flint Hill, VA passed away peacefully on the morning of May 14, 2021.

Mr. Gore is survived by four sons- Landon W. Gore (Georgette), Robert L. Gore (Ruth), Richard A. Gore (Pat), and Gary D. Gore (Patty) as well as 10 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and several great-great grandchildren.

His 55-year marriage to Margaret Anna Gore ended with her passing in 1992.

In Mr. Gore’s earlier life, he served as a SeaBee in WWII in the Pacific and served in the invasion of Saipan and Okinawa. He lived in Springfield, VA for many years before moving back to Fauquier County in 1979. Mr. Gore was also a 50-year Mason and Shriner and a lifelong member of the American Legion.

Mr. Gore, known throughout the motor sports world as one of the pioneers of the sport, purchased what was then known as the Longview Speedway in 1949. At that time, it was a dirt track, but He quickly converted it to a 3/8-mile asphalt facility, and within a year, hosted the first race on what would then become the famed Old Dominion Speedway, located on the then outskirts of Manassas, VA. Next came the first-ever purpose built 1/8th mile drag strip east of the Mississippi in 1953, which hosted drag racing of all sorts until 2012. Mr. Gore’s other accomplishments in his storied career included owning the Eastside Speedway in Waynesboro, VA from 1958-2021, operating the New London Dragway in Lynchburg, VA from 1990-2005, along with operating the Marlboro Speedway in Upper Marlboro, MD and the Winchester Speedway in Winchester, VA for several years. All in all, Mr. Gore’s career spanned more than 60 years of entertainment ranging from NASCAR Stock Car Racing, various drag racing promotions, power boat racing, professional wrestling, country music festivals, and County Fair Management. Mr. Gore was also a member of the East Coast Drag Racing Hall-of-Fame, inducted in 2002.

The family received friends from 3-9 PM on Tuesday, May 25 at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton where a funeral service will be held on Wednesday, May 26 at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Shriner Hospitals for Children, Attn: Office of Development, 2900 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, FL 33607.

Leslie Malcolm Collins Leslie Malcolm Collins, 84 of Warrenton, VA was born January 17, 1937 in Knoxville, TN to Guy M. and Helen J. Collins.

The family migrated around the East Coast, coping with war and pre-war conditions for work, finally settling in Monroe, MI in 1944, where he attended school, and developed a lifelong interest in music, performing in combos, dance bands, orchestras, and in the pit for stage musicals.

Family conditions influenced him to enlist in the US Navy in 1955, where he was trained in electronics maintenance, rising to Chief Petty Officer (E7) prior to being commissioned as Ensign. After 26 years, he retired as Lieutenant Commander (O-5) having served, among many assignments at sea and ashore, as Commanding Officer, Naval Radio Station, Sugar Grove, WV, and Electronics Officer, U.S.S.

Barbara Alice Linthicum Barbara Alice Linthicum, age 80, passed peacefully on Sunday, May 16th, 2021 in Warrenton, VA. She was born in Alexandria, VA on June 8th, 1940 and at her death was the last of five children of the late Cleveland & Cora Mercer.

In addition to her parents and siblings, Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Delbert T. Linthicum, son, Lee Linthicum.

Barbara is survived by two children, Pam Symington & her husband, David of Naples, FL and Ray Linthicum & his wife, Stephanie of Warrenton, VA; a daughter in law, Vicki Linthicum of Culpeper, VA; seven grandchildren, David Symington II, Jacqueline Symington, Jennifer Linthicum, Tony Linthicum, Stacy Linthicum, Erica Hamilton & Chad Linthicum; and two great grandchildren, Madeline Linthicum & Lev Fortune.

Known simply as G, GMA or GG to her grandchildren and great grandchildren, she was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her family meant the world to her and there was nothing she cherished more.

Most of her working career was in Bookkeeping where she worked over 20 years at Herby’s Ford in Alexandria. She loved crunching numbers and would never be satisfied until she balanced a book right down to the last penny! She played hard while her health was good, either burning up the road attending a Country Music Concert or heading to Charlestown to play the slots. She always said, “Scared Money Don’t Win”!

She was tiny but feisty and never minced words, a true spitfire. If she had something to say she would say it without hesitation. She was quick witted, a great storyteller and sharp as a tack right until she passed. Her words, her wisdom, her stories will be truly missed by all her family and friends.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on July 3rd, 2021 at 10:30 at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, VA., Interment private.
