Protesters urge sheriff, jail board to end 287(g)

By Jill Palermo

Protesters circle Lee Avenue in front of the Prince William courthouse calling for Sheriff Glen Hill and the jail board to end the county’s 13-year-old 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Angel Romero said he was in elementary school when he first learned that some of his classmates’ parents had been detained and eventually deported after run-ins with local police. That was about 11 years ago, Romero said, when he was 10 years old and his family lived in Dumfries.

“Eventually, I started feeling scared that my parents might be gone when I came home from school,” Romero, now 21, said Friday. “That’s when my parents decided it wasn’t safe for us to live in Prince William County.”

Romero’s family moved to Stafford County, where they remain today. He said he retained a subconscious fear, over the years, that his parents might still be deported but felt “slightly more safe” in Stafford because the county does not have a 287(g) agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement like Prince William County.

Romero was back in Prince William on Friday, however, to join about two dozen CASA activists in a protest outside the Prince William courthouse and jail.

“Stop Trump’s deportation machine,” the group staged a car rally and then circled Lee Avenue in front of the courthouse on foot, chanting their opposition to the jail’s 287(g) agreement with ICE in both Spanish and English.

CASA activists staged the Friday, June 12, protest because the jail board is scheduled to decide Wednesday, June 17, whether to extend the county’s 13-year-old agreement with ICE or let it expire. The protesters are pushing for the latter.

School board names 13th high school

Prince William County’s 13th high school will be named for the community it will serve.

The Prince William County School Board voted unanimously Wednesday, June 10, to name the new high school “Gainesville High School.” The school, which is under construction behind Jiffy Lube Live, will open in the fall of 2021.

In the same motion, the school board voted to name the new

The Prince William Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center has maintained a 287(g) memorandum of understanding with ICE since 2007. Under the agreement, which gets its name from section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, local sheriff’s deputies in the jail work as ICE agents, effectively giving ICE direct access to local inmates.

As protests over police brutality enter a third week, candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in Virginia’s 1st and 11th congressional districts say police reforms are a top priority -- but what those reforms will look like is still up for debate.

Democratic officials across the country have offered wide-ranging visions for police reform at all levels of government. Some call for increased training and more diverse hiring practices. Others have rallied behind slashing police department budgets and reallocating the money to mental health and social services programs.

In Virginia’s 11th District, which covers Fairfax and Prince William counties, Rep. Gerry Connolly is one of many Democrats in Congress backing the Justice in Policing Act of 2020. The legislation aims to improve police accountability, transparency and training, and improve processes to investigate and prosecute allegations of police misconduct.

The bill requires mandatory racial bias training, bans chokeholds and “no-knock” warrants, limits the trans-

fer of military weapons to police departments and defines lynching as a federal hate crime, among other items.

“We need to restructure the way our current police departments function with a focus on transparency and accountability, de-escalation training, demilitarization of equipment, mental health training and making sure our police force reflects the diversity of community,” Connolly said in an email Thursday.

Connolly, a former chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, hasn’t faced a primary challenger since he was elected in 2008. In the upcoming June 23 primary, he’s facing off against Zainab Mohsini, of Centreville.

PRIMARIES, from page 1 Mohsini was a refugee of the U.S. war in Afghanistan who moved with her family to Oregon in 2003 at age 14. Her family later moved to Northern Virginia, and she went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in communications from Virginia Tech in 2015.

Mohsini is advocating for similar police reforms but adds that police budgets across the country should be reduced, or “defunded,” to help put a stop to police killings and police brutality of African Americans.

Mohsini said in a phone call on Wednesday that money should be taken from police department budgets and re-allocated to social services and mental health programs. Mohsini said police officers are often “expected to handle issues that are better served by social services and mental health experts.”

At the federal level, Mohsini said she would advocate for “an end to qualified immunity,” which protects government officials from being held personally liable for constitutional violations, and an end to the militarization of police departments.

In 1st District race, neither Dem supports ‘defunding’ police

In the 1st District primary, two Democrats – Vangie Williams and Qasim Rashid – are vying for the opportunity to take on Rep. Rob Wittman, a Republican who has held the seat since 2007. Williams, a GAINESVILLE, from page 1 Guindon, who was also a U.S. Marine, was just 28 years old when she was killed in the line of duty.

The board also voted to name the new high school’s student counseling center after Lillian Orlich, a longtime teacher and counselor who retired in 2017 at the age of 89 after a 67-year career as a teacher and

federal contractor and mother of six who lives in King George County, ran against Wittman in 2018, losing by about 10 points.

A Democrat has not been elected to represent the district since 1974.

Williams said that, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s Qasim Rashid murder, she has been thinking a lot about police reform policies. Williams, who is African American, said that “every mother cried” when they saw the video of George Floyd’s killing.

“He became every mother’s son when he cried out for his mother,” Williams said during a phone call Friday.

A white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds during his arrest, killing him. Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder.

To address the issue of police brutality towards African Americans, Williams said she supports increasing funding for police training programs.

Williams said the police officers need to be better trained “to handle people who are having a mental health crisis,” including children.

“I believe a lot of this is happening because of the lack of training on our police forces,” Williams said.

Williams said she is in favor of increasing the use of police body cameras and adding federal guide-

counselor -- a career mostly spent in Prince William County at Osbourn and then Osbourn Park High School.

All three names – Gainesville, Ashley Marie Guindon and Lillian Orlich – received the most support from the community during the time the school board considered names for the new high school over the last several weeks.

School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef said the school board settled

lines to “ensure that police killings receive independent investigations.” Williams added that “defunding” or removing money from police departments “could cause problems down the line” for departments.

Rashid, a human rights Vangie Williams lawyer and father of three who lives in Stafford County, said in Friday he is advocating for a “reimagining” of the role that police departments play in local communities. Rashid said he doesn’t see “police reform as anti-police. I see it as pro-police.”

Rashid said he was not necessarily in favor of reducing the amount of money in police budgets as a solution to police brutality and police killings. Rashid said police reforms could entail looking at police budgets, but that “we need to define what defunding means.”

“Let’s allocate money to police departments to do their job. But more money may be needed for social services,” Rashid said.

Rashid went on to say that social services agencies and mental health professionals may be better suited to respond to some emergency calls and that police should not be sent “into situations they’re not prepared for.”

on Gainesville High School in an effort to recognize a historic and growing area of Prince William County and to ensure that future students’ accomplishments will be associated with the Gainesville community.

Gainesville is an unincorporated area of western Prince William County, roughly located along the U.S. 29 and Linton Hall Road corridors.

“I believe our high schools are incredible high schools, and they are destination high schools,” Lateef said. “I believe putting the name ‘Gainesville’ on [the new school] -- when our students no doubt go and win statewide awards -- people will know that is Gainesville, that is Prince William County.”

School board members also shared words of admiration for both Guindon, whom Lateef said Police Chief Barry Barnard called “a role model for other officers,” and Orlich, who was known for her life-long dedication to helping students not only succeed in high school but also forge their plans for college and careers.

Barnard, Lateef said, “could not say enough good things about his young officer, Ashley Guindon, her honor, her duty, her service,” Lateef said.

“A fallen officer always deserves

to be honored,” added Woodbridge School Board representative Loree Williams. “Her name will live on, and students will know who she was and will be able to know of the service she gave as an officer and as a student.”

Guindon was a member of the JROTC at her high school in New Hampshire and was active in suicide prevention groups, the board’s resolution said.

Regarding Orlich, School Board member Lillie Jessie (Occoquan) noted she gave her life in service to generations of Prince William County families and was a dependable and hard-working member of the Osbourn Park staff right up until she retired.

“She was at her desk at 3 a.m. in the morning. She would open the school and answer the phones and took over until the secretary came in at 7 a.m.,” Jessie said.

“I’m excited to see her name above a student counseling center because that’s what she gave her life to,” Gainesville School Board representative Jen Wall said of Orlich. “I hope that students will be inspired to carry her legacy and if they do that, the world will be a better place.”

Ashworth said the office has not received “any formal or informal inquiry or complaint about this alleged ‘illegal meeting’ from any supervisor, their staff, or any other Prince William County employee or official.”

It appears Ashworth’s office looked into the matter after receiving emails from concerned constituents.

“Please know that my office takes seriously any allegation of criminal behavior by our Board of County Supervisors or other elected officials,” Ashworth said. “Violations of public trust are not something I take lightly, nor do I entertain the politicizing of allegations of such.”

Meanwhile, Manassas resident Brett “Alan” Gloss withdrew on Monday a lawsuit he filed against the board alleging they violated FOIA laws. Gloss said he will refile the lawsuit against only the Democratic supervisors.

COVID-19 cases at jail rise to 79: 16 staff, 63 inmates

POLICE BRIEFS

The number of positive COVID-19 cases at the Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center continues to rise, as 63 inmates and 16 staff at the facility had tested positive for the virus as of June 9, according to jail officials.

So far, the outbreak has not resulted in any hospitalizations or deaths, according to jail Superintendent Col. Pete Meletis’s response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Prince William Times.

The uptick in cases comes after the Virginia National Guard was called on to assist the local health district in conducting a point prevalence survey of inmates and staff on May 28 and 29. The process entails testing all individuals at the facility for COVID-19, whether they have symptoms or not.

Meletis said 776 tests were given to inmates and staff during the survey.

Jail officials first acknowledged the COVID-19 outbreak on Friday, May 15. At that time, two staff members had tested positive for COVID-19 and two additional staff members and 11 inmates were exhibiting symptoms of the disease and were awaiting test results.

To prevent the further spread of the virus, the jail administration set up two quarantine housing units, which are pod units with individual cells, to allow inmates to quarantine individually.

One unit is used for all newly ad-

mitted inmates, and a second unit is designated for inmates who were in contact with the first inmate who tested positive for the disease. That person was released from custody a few days prior to testing positive for COVID-19.

John Redmon, an inmate at the jail, said in a May 27 letter to Prince William Times that inmates, both infected and uninfected, were residing in his cell block in one-man cells. Redmon said that, as far as he knows, all the inmates on his block “are asymptomatic.”

Redmon added that inmates are given a temperature check twice daily by the facilities’ nurses and have been given face masks, with new masks distributed periodically, Redmon said.

At the beginning of the pandemic, jail staff said they implemented new procedures aimed at preventing the spread of the virus, including isolating and triaging at-risk or symptomatic inmates, maintaining social distancing between staff and the general public and screening all incoming inmates for symptoms of the illness.

The population of the jail has dropped by about 250 inmates, or about 35%, since March. The current population of the jail is 529. The relatively low population of the jail is in part due to the efforts to reduce the jail population, but also because daily arrests have fallen during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the jail’s Director of Support Services Maj. Amanda Lambert.

Police: 4 women shot in 2 incidents in Woodbridge Prince William County police are investigating two separate shootings that left four women with serious but non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

The incidents occurred about a mile and a half apart in Woodbridge late Tuesday, June 9, and early Wednesday, June 10. Officers have identified a suspect in the second shooting but have not yet made an arrest, according to Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman for Prince William County police.

Officers responded first to the Elevations One apartments, located in the 14300 block of Jeffries Road, at 8:04 p.m. Tuesday, June 9, and found two women, both 19, suffering from gunshot wounds, Carr said in a news release.

Officers rendered aid to the women who were transported to area hospitals with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.

While police were investigating, a third woman, also 19, arrived at an area hospital for treatment of a gunshot injury. The woman was subsequently connected to the Jefferies Road incident, which stemmed from an altercation between two groups, Carr said in the release.

The incident does not appear to be random, and no other injuries or property damage were reported in

connection with the incident. Police had not yet made an arrest or identified any suspects as of midday Wednesday.

The second incident was reported at 1:49 a.m. on Wednesday, June 10. Officers responded to the Bayvue Apartments, located in the 1200 block of Bayside Avenue in Woodbridge, and found a 31-yearold woman outside in the common area of the complex suffering from gunshot injuries, Carr said.

The woman was transported to an area hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation revealed the woman was involved in a verbal altercation with an acquaintance when she was shot.

Police have identified Tyree Rahad Henderson, 23, of Alexandria, as a suspect in the shooting and have obtained a warrant for his arrest.

Henderson is wanted for malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

He is described as a black male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 190 pounds with black hair, brown eyes and multiple tattoos on his arms.

Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to contact the Prince William County Police Department tip line at 703792-7000 or to submit a webtip to: www.pwcgov.org/policetip.

Woodbridge man charged in domestic shooting A Woodbridge man was charged with attempted murder after a shooting in Woodbridge on Sunday, June 7.

Officers responded to a house on the 12100 block of Chaucer Lane at 4:20 p.m. to investigate a shooting, Prince William County police spokeswoman Officer Renee Carr said in a news release.

Police said the victim, identified as an 18-year-old man, and a family member, identified as Dai’Shawn Marquis Neal, were involved in an argument that escalated.

Neal allegedly “produced a fire-

arm and shot the victim before fleeing the residence in a vehicle,” Carr said.

Neal was located by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and detained by state police. The victim was transported to an area hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Neal, 23, of Chaucer Lane in Woodbridge, was arrested and charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. He was held without bond.

Books to explore anti-racism, diversity and civil rights

by Jean L. Ross

Contributing Writer

With all the social unrest and news regarding recent events, there is a new interest in books related to racial issues – specifically, anti-racist literature and approaching racism with new awareness.

The Prince William Public Library System has a range of new titles, both in print and in digital form, to help those who want to read more. Keep in mind, our libraries are still closed to the public, but you can place holds on our print collection on our website, www.pwcgov.org/library and can pick up your titles at any branch (except Central Community Library, which is closed for renovation) with our contact-free pickup service.

Or, call your branch to tell them what you want to read, and they will pull up to 10 titles for you to pick up. For digital fans, use Libby, by OverDrive or hoopla Digital to access great content for e-books and e-audios.

There may be no more timely title than Wes Moore’s forthcoming “Five Days: The Fiery Reckoning of an American City.” Moore’s last book, “The Other Wes Moore,” was a bestselling examination of the divergent paths two African American men would take – or be forced to take – in life. His latest title is about Baltimore in the aftermath of the death of Freddie Gray, and tells the story of the subsequent uprising there both through his eyes and through that of others across a wide spectrum of the city. Moore is a professor at Princeton University, a Rhodes scholar, and one of the most insightful current writers on race.

On a topic that is increasingly discussed, Layla Saad started out with an Instagram workbook used by thousands and has now published “Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor.” The goal here is to teach those interested in confronting their own bias how to look at their privilege and help others, too. Agree or disagree with her methods, this is a fascinating work.

By now, most readers have heard of the bestselling “How to Be an Antiracist,” by Ibram X. Kendi, who grew up in Prince William County. The book’s stated mission is to teach that “the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it.” He asks what such a society – an antiracist one – might look like and how we can achieve that goal.

Several recent books address the issue of the

variety of justice experienced by people of color.

The recently released film, “Just Mercy,” is based on Bryan Stevenson’s book of the same name.

Subtitled, “A Story of Justice and Redemption,” the book and the film depict a deeply flawed judicial system but also offer hope with this true story of good people working for the right result.

Along the same theme – justice as experienced by people of color – is last year’s remarkable survey of the incarceration of African-American women entitled, “A Bound Woman is a Dangerous Thing: the Incarceration of African American Women from Harriet Tubman to Sandra Bland,” by DeMaris Hill. This survey covers the era when being bound meant being a slave and then proceeds all the way to the current era, charting a 700% increase in the number of women incarcerated between 1980 and 2014. While not all were women of color, a disproportionate number were exactly that, and the book offers startling insights into the reasons behind this increase.

Another aspect of race in America that is often unrecognized is environmental. “A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and its Assault on the American Mind,” by Harriet A. Washington, talks about the impact of environmental problems on communities of color. Lead poisoning, atmospheric pollution, and industrial waste are all huge factors for Americans of color, as their communities are often targeted as locations for polluting industries. The author focuses on the impact of such pollution on minds and bodies in the communities affected.

Other recent titles worth exploring include: “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in

the Age of Colorblindness,” by Michelle Alexander; “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Other Conversations About Race,” by Beverly Daniel Tatum; “On the Other Side of Freedom: The Case for Hope,” by DeRay Mckesson; and “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism,” by Robin J. DeAngelo.

For children, check out: “A Place to Land: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Speech That Inspired a Nation,” by Barry Wittenstein (the true story behind the writing of Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”) as well as “What Lane?” By Torrey Maldonado. In this novel for young readers, a biracial 6th grader questions the way society views him and learns about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Also, “Because They Marched: The People’s Campaign for Voting Rights That Changed America,” by Russell Freedman; “All Kinds of People,” by Shelley Rotner: A colorful picture book exploring diversity with vibrant photos; and “A Child’s Introduction to African American History: The Experiences, Peoples, and Events That Shaped Our Country,” by Jabari Asim.

Playgrounds, most amenities reopen at local parks Staff Reports Most of Prince William County’s playgrounds, golf courses, tennis, volleyball and pickleball courts reopened to the public on Friday -- the same day Northern Virginia moved into Phase 2 of the state’s reopening plan.

County park crews on Friday began the process of removing yellow caution tape that had circled about 50 county playgrounds since midMarch, said Brent Heavner, spokesman for the county’s department of parks, recreation and tourism.

Outdoor amenities such as play structures, picnic tables, and pavilions are not subject to regular cleaning, however, so county officials are continuing to stress the importance

of hand-washing and/or sanitizing when people use them, Heavner said.

As was announced last month, not all county parks facilities will reopen to the public this summer. Outdoor pools and waterparks will remain closed for the season due to the county’s inability to hire and train lifeguards in the spring during pandemic restrictions.

Also, the county’s indoor recreation centers will remain closed to all but summer day camps, which will begin July 6.

Most other facilities, however, are open now or will be open in the coming week, Heavner said.

“It does take some time to reopen our amenities. Locust Shade Park’s golf facilities and our historic sites, for example, will reopen on June 18,”

Heavner said. “Likewise, bringing our park restrooms back into operation is also a rolling process that will continue for the next couple of weeks.”

Visitors are asked to continue to review informational signage when in the parks, practice social distancing when interacting with people from outside their household, and wash or sanitize their hands frequently especially after touching any shared surfaces.

Events, organized activities, and rentals within Prince William County’s parks are postponed until further notice.

Information about specific county amenities released Friday included: • The boat ramp at Lake Ridge Park is available for private watercraft launch as well as kayak and

stand-up-paddleboard rentals. Jon boat and paddleboat rentals are not currently available.

• Fishing is permitted at Silver Lake Park, Locust Shade Park and Lake Ridge Park.

• Prince William Golf Course, Forest Greens Golf Course, and Lake Ridge Golf Course are open.

• County skate parks are open.

• Dog parks are open.

• Gatherings of more than 50 are prohibited in the parks during Phase 2.

• Beginning Thursday, June 18, the following facilities will reopen: • Historic sites; tours will be available for groups of seven or fewer at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m.; Thursday through Monday.

• Locust Shade Park driving range, mini-golf and batting cages.

287(g), from page 1 Using federal ICE databases, the ICE-trained officers investigate inmates’ immigration status, report their presence to ICE and agree to hold inmates for up to 48 hours past their release dates so ICE can pick them up and detain them in ICE facilities if the agency issues a “detainer” for that purpose.

Prince William and Culpeper counties are the only two jurisdictions in Virginia that maintain such agreements with ICE. Between 2011 and 2019, 6,503 inmates have been transferred to ICE custody from the local jail, according to jail records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Prince William County and Manassas, which fund the jail, pay the salaries of the jail officers trained to work as ICE agents inside the facility. The program cost $6.3 million from 2011 to 2019, of which $3.9 million was reimbursed by the federal government. The rest, about $2.4 million – or an average of about $350,000 a year -- has been paid by Prince William and Manassas tax dollars.

Wednesday’s vote could be a turning point. On the campaign trail last fall, several members of the now Democratic-majority Prince William Board of County Supervisors said they did not support 287(g).

After a marathon May 19 meeting that stretched into the early morning hours on May 20, Prince William supervisors appointed three new members to the 11-member jail board, including Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, a critic of 287(g) program who has said she will “definitely vote to let it expire.”

The other new members -- local NAACP President Cozy Bailey and Tracey Lenox, a longtime defense attorney recently picked to lead the county’s new public defenders’ office -- declined to say whether they would vote against the agreement in the wake of the supervisors’ vote. The supervisors themselves are split along party lines on 287(g). The board’s three Republican supervisors voted against the new appointees, saying they feared they would vote to end the county’s 287(g) program.

Sheriff Glen Hill, a Republican, and jail Superintendent Pete Meletis spoke favorably of the ICE agreement during the supervisors’ May 19-20 meeting, saying it allows insight into inmates’ criminal records in their native countries.

Hill is chairman of the jail board.

The agenda for the jail board’s June 17 meeting contains a resolution to extend the 287(g) MOU – not let it expire – in part because neither the Prince William Board of County Supervisors nor the Manassas City Council has passed resolutions calling for the program to end, the reso-

The uncertainty about what the jail board will ultimately decide this week prompted the CASA protest, said Ivania Castillo, a member of the group who lives in Lake Ridge.

Castillo carried an American flag to the rally and said she is tired of seeing her friends in the local Latino community targeted by 287(g), which she called a “racist” program left over from former county board chairman Corey Stewart.

Castillo said the aim of the protest was to send a message to Hill and the jail board.

“Our brothers and sisters have come to this jail here, and they’ve never come out. They put them inside this jail here, and then they deport them, separating them from their families,” Castillo said, as protesters circled the courthouse parking lot in their cars.

“It’s pain and suffering that Corey Stewart and Sheriff Glen Hill have caused to our community. They don’t understand that our community, every day that they go out, they live in fear.”

Castillo said 287(g) has “separated” the Latino community from police and that people are afraid to interact with police because they fear they or family members could be arrested, detained and ultimately deported because of the 287(g) agreement.

Castillo said fears of deportation have even affected whether members of the Latino community have sought COVID-19 tests, even though the pandemic has disproportionately affected local Hispanic residents.

People are afraid to be tested because they have to show identification, Castillo said.

“We want to send a message to Sheriff Glen Hill that we are here in Prince William County and we are not going nowhere,” Castillo said. “This is our home. This is where we live. We are staying here, and we want them to remove 287(g).”

It is time for the Democratic Party to reward black communities for their trust, faith and patience.

When the first protests started, I noticed right away that this time it somehow felt different. This is not the first time we have marched for equality. This is not the first time a black person was murdered by the police. But this is the first time that I have felt the wave of change and have hope that here in Virginia, that change can and will finally happen.

Democrats have talked about inequality and reform for a long time, while Republicans have remained noticeably silent. While the current president chooses to focus on property over lives, the Democrats promise action.

Democrats paint the streets

of D.C. with the simple phrase, “Black Lives Matter,” while a Republican president uses tear gas to break up a peaceful protest on that same street. Like most, I will be the first to condemn violence and destruction as a part of a demonstration. However, do not use that as a tool to negate the message of the protest. Hear our plea, our request, our demand.

Now, with Virginia completely blue, it is time for our elected officials to witness our protest and act. It is time for them to keep their promise to us. It is time for real change, not rhetoric or social media posts. This starts with holding our police, our leaders, and ourselves to a higher standard.

DONTE TANNER Centreville

Appalled at the protests I am appalled at what I have been hearing in these last few days. Just as the country starts to resume its economy, something happens. The death of George Floyd seems to be the news everywhere. I dislike that an officer kneeled on Floyd’s neck, cutting of oxygen supply. However, he has been arrested and fired from his job. He’s suffering his punishment. Life isn’t fair, and justice has been served.

I understand why people were upset at his death, but these riots have turned into something political. People are becoming violent, young people! My generation!

What happened has happened.

Move on with your lives. Why

should anyone want to harm the very people who give up their lives for us? The police protect us whether they want too or not.

I am ashamed of my county and leaders. No one will want to live here. In addition, Del. Lee Carter was at the riots in Manassas. This so-called leader is jeopardizing our safety. He taunted officers and shoved them and repeatedly antagonized them; thus he was pepper sprayed-rightly so! He’s a bad influence. I am ashamed he represents my district. Wake up people! Carter has turned against you and us! Better act now!

Don’t let the pandemic keep you from voting To make Democracy work, every vote matters. As Americans, we have an obligation to inform ourselves about issues and to participate in our government by voting.

The COVID-19 pandemic is daunting, but, fortunately, there is still time to vote by absentee ballot and avoid exposure on Primary Election Day, June 23. The Prince William/Fauquier League of Women Voters remains non-partisan in these troubling times, joining Gov. Ralph Northam and election officials in encouraging as many people as possible to vote absentee.

It’s the safest way to cast a ballot during the pandemic, especially for older voters.

Since polls show that more than 60% of Americans favor voting by mail, in an effort to fight the pandemic and maximize voter turnout, several states are considering mailing ballots to all eligible voters.

Virginians, however, will have to be more proactive.

Easiest by far is to request an

absentee ballot online at www. vote.elections.virginia.gov and all you need is your driver’s license number. The information goes directly to the registrar and your ballot arrives by mail. You also have the option of calling the Prince William office at 703-7926470 or writing to request a ballot to 9250 Lee Ave., Suite 1, Manassas, Va. 20110.

Through Saturday, June 20, the registrar’s office at the same address is open for in-person absentee voting as well.

Applications must be IN THE HANDS of the registrar by Tuesday, June 16. As the governor directed, just check code 2A as the reason for absentee voting. No witness is necessary.

Remember your vote is your voice. Let it ring out.

BARBARA AMSTER Vice president, Prince William/Fauquier League of Women Voters Warrenton

Changing name means eliminating a lot of Stonewall signage

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Stonewall Jackson High athletic director Kevin Turner said eliminating all the signage and logos of the Confederate general at the Manassas school will take some work, especially if the expected school name change is to be completed before school opens in August.

“We have a great team and with the support from our facilities department I think we have a chance to meet the deadlines that will be set,” said Turner.

There are no statues of Stonewall Jackson on campus, but his image and name is on various logos. “In the stadium field and basketball courts, the marquee out front. Lots of signs throughout the building have to be replaced. It’s gonna be a challenge,” said Turner.

Prince William County Public Schools Superintendent Steve Walts

wants the school board to vote soon to rename the high school and Stonewall Jackson Middle, citing a supercharged social climate involving Confederate symbols.

Turner said he understands the movement to change. “The consensus is that it’s a long time coming with today’s climate in education and the education of our future students,” said Turner.

“A lot of folks are passionate about tradition and have a hard time with change. I don’t think any name change will change the hearts of those that harbor hate. We all need to examine our hearts and try to find love and respect for other people and cultures,” said Turner.

“For the past 26 years, I have worked with some amazing students, teachers and administrators at Stonewall Middle and Stonewall

Jackson High School. It’s been the people (not the school name) that have made the difference and impacted the lives of so many students in our community,” Turner said.

The new name could be derived from another person or a geographical location. The process is underway, Turner said.

“A lot of students like the term ‘stonewall,’” he said. Merriam-Webster describes the origin of the term as something that’s difficult to surmount, used for people who are persistent and enduring or who present an obstacle as formidable as a stone wall, which is how General Jackson got the nickname. “It’s a tough term, but the history of the name is very hurtful, especially in these difficult times,” Turner said.

Turner is not sure if the school nickname Raiders would change.

“It’s a possibility,” he said.

‘WE’RE GETTING CLOSE’

Safety protocols needed before high school practices can resume

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Will high school fields begin swarming with football players and other sports teams soon? Not necessarily.

While Northern Virginia moved to Phase 2 last Friday, opening up many outdoor venues and high school fields to members of the public, no organized team activity will occur until new COVID-19 safety guidelines are ironed out.

“We are not in position to go to Phase 2, athletically,” said Stonewall Jackson High activities director Kevin Turner on Monday. “We’re in a wait-and-see protocol.”

Schools are required to submit plans to the Virginia Department of Education outlining their safety precautions. New protocols need to be drafted for sports activities and for students in the school building.

The Virginia High School League (VHSL) Sports Medicine Advisory Committee has met several times in recent weeks to come up with guidelines for holding practices and contests.

Under the governor’s “Phase Guidance for Virginia Schools” document, outdoor recreational sports are allowable if 10 feet of physical distance can be maintained by all participants and spectators and all shared items can be disinfected between uses.

Total attendees are limited to 50% of the occupancy load of the venue or 50 persons. Spectators include only parents or guardians and must wear face coverings.

Executive director Billy Haun mentioned June 25 as a possible date for a decision about the possible start of the fall sports season. “There is still work to be done before these guidelines can be put in place to reopen athletic activities,” Haun said.

Kettle Run activities director Paul Frye said that Fauquier County’s three high schools have

The Virginia High School League said a decision about the possible start of the fall sports season could be made by June 25. “There is still work to be done before guidelines can be put in place to reopen,” said Billy Haun of the VHSL. developed plans to get back to drilling and conditioning, so they’ll be ready when the VHSL’s recommendations come back.

“With different areas of the state in different phases, areas will be in different aspects of return to play,” said Frye. “Remember that our phase does not line up with the phase the government issues.”

In another loosening trend, the VHSL said last week that out-of-season practices can resume on June 15, although safety precautions are needed first.

Fauquier High football coach Karl Buckwalter said he got bombed with requests from elated players asking when the first practice would be and had to temper their enthusiasm.

“We can’t do any of that until the administration and superintendent give us the OK. A health action plan to the state has to be approved,” said Buckwalter. “How do we ride the bus to an away game with

60 kids? I don’t know. How do we change in the locker room? These things have to be answered.

We took a step forward, but it’s just a step.”

But he is excited with the progress. “I sent an all-hands-on-deck letter (last Friday) to Fauquier football. We’re getting close. Perhaps five or 10 days. We’ve got to be ready.”

Buckwalter said he’s prepared for players to have their temperatures taken at practice, bring their own water, not go into school and potentially practice with social distancing.

He noted that there can be no collision contact in Phase 2. “We have to get in Phase 3 before we can tackle anybody,” said Buckwalter.

What about the possibility of having to wear masks in practice or during games?

“We’ll let the doctors and scientists tell us. I just want to coach football,” Buckwalter said.

OBITUARIES Meg Sales Barr With profound sadness, our family announces the May 29, 2020 passing of Meg Sales Barr, after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was 71 years old.

Meg drew all her strength from her personal and special relationship with her Savior Jesus Christ and the inworking power of the Holy Spirit, until her spirit, joined in oneness with the Holy Spirit left her body, ascending back into God from whence she came. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Meg battled cancer with all her being, always with grace and dignity. No matter how sick she was, she was ever determined.

When anyone else would have broken, Meg stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like.

Meg was born in Olean, New York, on August 21, 1948 and grew up in Alexandria, Virginia. After graduating from Mt. Vernon High School, she was hired as a stenographer for the Federal Government. While enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College where she studied computer science, Meg was accepted into an intern program with the Federal Government and became a computer programmer and analyst. In 1985 she became a project manager with USA Today. In 1989, letting her entrepreneurial spirit take flight, she launched Printing Professionals, a staffing agency for the printing industry. Her first-hand experience of the happiness and many blessings of adoption through her adopted granddaughter led Meg to Forever Families Adoption Services in 2011 where she worked until 2019 as the Office Administrator.

Meg loved and enjoyed her church family and serving within her community, which was evident in the many ministries she was involved with. Whether it was caring for babies in the church nursery; serving food at the community soup kitchen; creating weekly church newsletters; leading in Bible studies; or organizing Vacation Bible School, church yard sales, and weekly church dinners; her love and passion for the church shined brightly and inspired many.

She is survived by her devoted and loving husband, James Barr; five children: Kirsten L. Wicht (Daniel) of Middleburg, Virginia; Kourtney M. Barker (Sherman) of Richmond Virginia; Raymond L. Sales, Jr. (Chantel) of Woodbridge, Virginia; Karmen R. Steckman (John) and Timothy M. Sales (Michelle), both of Stafford, Virginia; her mother, Margit Elisabeth Green of Bumpass, Virginia; sister Sonia Green of Arlington, Virginia; and sister Heidi Davis of Bumpass, Virginia; three step-children: Sandy Payne (Pete), Cindy Shackelford (John), and Bryan Barr (Sara) – all of Stafford, Virginia; twelve grandchildren: Elisabeth Wicht; Loren Allison, Megan and Justin Barker; Ashleigh Sales, Kaitlyn Rogers, Mackenzie and Madison Lindholm, Delaney Rasmussen and Shannon Steckman; Kendall and Jordan Sales; twelve step-grandchildren: Isaiah and Nathan Payne; Ashley and Thomas Shackleford, Johnathan Barr; Mike, Heather, Shannon, Obie, Brandon and Ryleigh Barr; three great-grandchildren: Ava Blackburn, Alaina Allison and Tristan Sales; and four step-great-grandchildren: Kaylee and Chris Shackelford; and Marlee and Remmy Piper.

Meg was predeceased by her father, William Allen Green, in 1989 and her first husband, Raymond Lee Sales, in 2011.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. Remembrances and condolences may be shared at Covenant Funeral Service -- https:// www.covenantfuneralservice.com/tributes.

Memorial donations in memory of Meg can be made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (https://ww5.komen.org/), the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (https://themmrf.org/get-involved/ donate-to-the-mmrf/) or Abundant Life Assembly of God (https://www. abundantlifeag.org/).
