Prince William hits the red zone
Community transmission of the coronavirus now ‘high’ By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
William County residents: drinking water. And some are concerned that increased development near the reservoir and within the river’s far-reaching watershed could further pollute it. To address the issue, county officials are in the very early stages of studying whether an “overlay district” – or a special type of landuse designation – is needed to help protect the reservoir from becoming further polluted, although it is unclear, so far, what kind of development restrictions the district could entail and how much land it will cover.
Prince William County moved into the “high” category for community 105.46 transmission of the coroCases per 100,000 navirus last weekend and residents is now one of 25 health Source: CDC districts in Virginia experiencing a “surge” in new infections amid what the experts are calling a “stunning turnaround” in the course of the pandemic from just one month ago. As of Tuesday, Aug. 10, Prince William County was reporting 105 new COVID-19 infections per 100,000 residents over the past seven days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s county tracker. Meanwhile, the local health district reported 29 new hospitalizations this past week, up from fewer than 10 the previous week. The metric places the county in the “high” category for transmission along with Fauquier, Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. The three are the only counties in Northern Virginia in the “high” category. Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun counties and the cities of Alexandria and Manassas are in the “substantial” range of transmission, defined as having between 50 and 99 cases per 100,000 residents over the past week, according to the CDC. The University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute, which has been tracking and predicting cases over the course of the pandemic, likened the rise in COVID-19 cases to a “storm,” the epicenter of which began in Southern states of Florida and Louisiana, where vaccination rates are relatively low. As of last week, Louisiana was reporting 653 cases per 100,000 residents over the past seven days, while Florida reported 590. By comparison, Virginia moved into the “high” category on Thursday, Aug. 5, and is reporting about 113 cases per 100,000 residents over the past seven days. Still, just one month ago, cases across Virginia were below 15 per 100,000 residents.

The Occoquan Reservoir is the main source of drinking water for eastern Prince William and Fairfax, but the two counties took different tacks on development along the waterway. Now, the Prince William supervisors are considering an “overlay district” aimed at improving water quality and protecting the reservoir from further pollution.
New rules considered around the reservoir By Daniel Berti

The Occoquan River twists and turns for 25 miles along the border of Prince William and Fairfax counties before it spills into Belmont Bay and the Potomac River. Every weekend, locals and out-of-towners can be spotted coasting up and down the water in boats and kayaks, enjoying its pastoral views. And during the school year, high school students use it for rowing practice. But the river and its reservoir, both listed among Virginia’s “dirty rivers,” provide another vital resource to thousands of Prince

Prince William hits the red zone
COVID, from page 1
Cases
Given the wave of new cases, which are believed to be driven by the rise of the more contagious Delta variant, the UVA Biocomplexity Institute’s model is predicting that cases will surge through the fall, reaching levels in mid-September not seen since earlier this spring, before the vaccine was widely available. This could have disastrous consequences over the next several weeks unless more Virginians choose to be vaccinated, the UVA institute’s latest report said. “Vaccination rates are still below herd immunity levels and, with many Virginians returning to normal, the virus has room to run,” the report says. “If the Delta variant continues to spread, cases could peak at levels higher than previous January peaks. To lessen the projected peak, we must give vaccines time to have an impact. If vaccination rates pick up, the model estimates that over 60,000 cases could be avoided.”
No new local deaths, hospitalizations rise
Despite the surge in local cases, the Prince William Health District reported no new deaths due to COVID-19 over the past week. But hospitalizations rose sharply; the county added 29 over the past seven days. The local health district, which includes Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, is now reporting an average of more than four hospitalizations for COVID-19 a day up from less than one just one week ago. Residents in their 50s made up the bulk of hospitalizations with eight of the 26 for which age information was available. Six residents in their 60s were hospitalized with COVID-19 last week along with three in their 70s, according to the Virginia Department of Health. One child under the age of 9 was hospitalized for COVID-19 last week, bringing to the total number of children ages 9 and under who have been hospitalized for COVID-19 since the pandemic began to 24. Two residents between the ages of 10 and 19 were hospitalized last week, bringing that age group’s total to 29. Two residents in their 20s were hospitalized, bringing that age group’s pandemic total to 121 hospitalizations. Residents in their 50s have had the highest number of hospitalizations overall since the pandemic began with 372 as of Monday, Aug. 9, according to VDH.
The Prince William Health District is now averaging about 67 cases of COVID-19 per day, up more than 63% from one week ago. Across the state, Virginia is adding an average of 1,469 new cases, an increase of about 57% from last week. More than 520 new cases were reported in the local health district over the past week. Residents in their 30s reported the highest number of new cases with 103. They were followed by kids and teens ages 10 to 19, who reported at least 94 new cases, according to VDH data for which age information was available. Residents in their 20s reported at least 87 new cases, followed by residents in their 40s, who reported 71 new cases.
A storm among the unvaccinated
The surge in new cases is mostly affecting the 46% of Virginians who remain unvaccinated against COVID-19, the UVA Biocomplexity Institute says. An analysis by the Prince William Health District of July cases showed that between 25% and 30% of local cases reported during the first three weeks of the month were actually “breakthrough cases” among those fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The VDH continues to stress, however, that breakthrough case numbers are actually small and usually don’t result in severe cases of COVID-19. “Virginia reported 303 breakthrough cases for all of July, or seven monthly cases per 100k vaccinated,” the UVA Biocomplexity Institutes report says.
Vaccinations creep upward
The VDH and the local health district continue to stress the importance of getting vaccinated against COVID-19 to avoid contracting the Delta variant and suffering from severe symptoms. Six counties and cities in Northern Virginia have reached the goal of having at least 70% of adults inoculated with at least one dose, including Prince William County. Fairfax County has the highest overall vaccination rate with 58.5% of its residents vaccinated. Fairfax is followed by Loudoun County with an overall vaccination rate of 58.5%. Prince William County reported an overall vaccination rate of 51.9% as of Monday morning. “The most important thing any of us can do is to get vaccinated if eligible. Although it takes six
Virginia loses another child under 18 to COVID-19 Staff Reports Virginia has lost another child between the ages of 10 and 19 to complications from COVID-19, the Virginia Health Department announced Thursday, Aug. 5. The child lived in the state’s Eastern Region. The loss is the first of a minor in that region. No other information about the child, including gender or specific age, will be released to protect privacy and “out of respect for the patient’s family,” said Maria Reppas, VDH director of communications. Virginia has so far lost two children under the age of 9 to COVID-19 and six kids and teens between the ages of 10 to 19, according to VDH data. “We extend our condolences to the family and friends of this child at this time of great loss,” said Virginia Health Commissioner Dr. M. Norman Oliver in a news release. Oliver said the child’s death is a
reminder that the pandemic is far from over and that the more contagious Delta variant poses more challenges. “COVID-19 has taken thousands of lives from us, and every death is a tragedy. The COVID-19 pandemic is far from over. As we have seen in recent weeks, a COVID variant, the Delta variant, spreads more easily from one person to another,” Oliver said. “We have made progress in these past months against this virus, but a tragic event like the death of this young child is a stark reminder that our work is not done.” To lower the risk of spreading respiratory infections, including COVID-19, VDH is continuing to urge that everyone who is eligible get vaccinated and that Virginians continue to wear face coverings in all public indoor spaces regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not because Virginia is currently experiencing high levels of COVID-19 spread.

However, vaccination is not enough to “significantly impact the high peaks projected for this fall,” the report says. Unvaccinated individuals, and those not fully vaccinated, should continue all prevention measures, including social distancing and mask wearing. Although less likely, fully vaccinated individuals can spread the Delta variant. The CDC says fully vaccinated individuals should wear a mask in public indoor spaces, keep an eye on local transmission levels and follow guidance of local public health departments, the report notes.

Roem’s challenger objects to undocumented kids attending public schools By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
A Republican candidate running for the Virginia House of Delegates in western Prince William County and Manassas Park – an area heavily populated by immigrants – says he doesn’t think undocumented children and teens should be able to attend K-12 public schools in Virginia. Chris Stone, the Republican nominee challenging Del. Danica Roem (D) in the 13th House of Delegates district, wrote in a candidate survey earlier this year that, “I’m not sure that any illegal alien should be allowed to attend schools in the Commonwealth, either primary, secondary or higher education.” Stone also said tuition assistance and loans for students at Virginia colleges should be offered only to U.S. citizens or “those coming legally on student visas as exchange or college students.” Stone’s statements were written responses to a Prince William-Manassas Family Alliance candidate survey published in April. The Prince William-Manassas Family Alliance, which describes itself as dedicated to “promoting the institution of the family and an educated electorate,” asks all local candidates to fill out a survey during each election cycle. In a follow-up interview in June, Stone elaborated on his comments, saying he is concerned Virginia public schools do not have the resources to educate children who don’t speak English, and that undocumented children who cannot speak English could overwhelm the school system. Educators and teachers “don’t know what to do with them,” Stone said. Stone, 40, is an Air Force veteran, an Air Force National Guardsman and an adjunct professor at Missouri State University’s Washington, D.C. campus. Public schools must serve all

Danica Roem (D), right, for the 13th District House of Delegates seat in November. children, regardless of immigration status, under a precedent set by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1982. The Supreme Court’s decision in Plyler v. Doe struck down several Texas laws that denied funding for education to undocumented children and authorized local school districts to refuse enrollment to undocumented students. Roem, 36, who was first elected to the seat in 2017, called Stone’s statements “barbaric” and “unconstitutional,” citing the precedent set by the U.S. Supreme Court. “It is wildly unacceptable that you would deprive any child of an education. It is not the child’s fault that they are here. They did not have a choice. And for many of them, this is the only home they know,” Roem said in a recent interview. “How could anyone running for office have such a callous disregard for children as to throw them out of school for their [immigration] status?” Roem is a former newspaper journalist. She is the first transgender lawmaker ever elected to the Virginia General Assembly.
The Supreme Court’s Plyler ruling has been violated on several occasions by states and local school districts, according to the American Immigration Council, a nonprofit advocacy group. In 1994, a California law prohibiting undocumented students from enrolling in K-12 public schools and requiring schools to notify federal immigration authorities of their at-
tempted enrollment was struck down in federal court. In 2011, Alabama state lawmakers enacted a measure requiring school administrators to determine the immigration status of all newly enrolling students. A federal appeals court blocked its implementation. An estimated 35,000 undocumented immigrants live in Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park, according to the Migration Policy Institute. More than 100,000 people living in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park were born outside the United States, according to U.S. Census data. Virginia public schools served about 105,000 English language learners speaking more than 240 languages in 2020 – or about 8% of the total student enrollment. That percentage is even higher in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. English language learners accounted for 50% of Manassas Park schools’ student enrollment, more than 25% of Manassas City schools’ student enrollment and 28% of Prince William County schools student enrollment in 2020.

New rules considered around the reservoir
OCCOQUAN, from page 1
“It’s a very important issue for not only the county, but the whole region,” Tom Smith, Prince William County’s director of public works, said during an Aug. 3 board of county supervisors meeting. “ ... How are current [development] practices within this watershed affecting the water quality?” The Fairfax County Service Authority manages the Occoquan Reservoir and cleans the drinking water it generates at Griffith Water Treatment plant. The water is then pumped into homes throughout the eastern side of Prince William and Fairfax counties. The water originates in the Occoquan watershed, where streams and creeks flow into the Occoquan River. The watershed stretches across four counties: Prince William, Fairfax, Loudoun and Fauquier. But the bulk of the watershed is in Prince William. It covers 66% of county’s total land area and includes tributaries like Broad Run, Bull Run and Cedar Run. In 2020, the Occoquan River, the reservoir, Bull Run, Broad Run and Cedar Run were all listed as “impaired waters” by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality due to unsafe levels of industrial pollutants and E. coli. In Fairfax County, the banks of the Occoquan Reservoir are largely protected from new development by Fountainhead Regional Park. Nearly 40 years ago, in 1982, Fairfax downzoned 41,000 acres of land in the watershed adjacent to the reservoir, further limiting development near the reservoir. In Prince William, however, much of the reservoir’s shoreline is already taken up by homes and townhome communities. And further inland, large swaths of the watershed are heavily developed with residential, commercial and industrial uses in areas such as Manassas, Manassas Park, Gainesville and Bristow. “The area adjacent to the [Occoquan] reservoir is primarily already developed. So, as we talk about water quality, we’ve got to look at not only future development, which is certainly an issue, but we’ve got to look at current practices within the watershed that’s already developed,” Smith told the county board. The county’s planning department staff is gathering information and evaluating the county’s design standards and development practices in relation to the reservoir’s water quality. They will bring recommendations for initiating a zoning text amendment for an overlay district in September, according to county documents. The board of county supervisors will then take a vote on whether to pursue creating the zoning text amendment at that time.

An aerial view of the Occoquan Reservoir shows the difference in development along the waterway. Fairfax limited building decades ago, while Prince William allowed homes and townhomes to be built along the reservoir’s shores.
Concerns surface amid debate over rural area development
Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, directed county staff to begin work on creating an overlay district in November 2020, following several controversial development proposals approved by the board. One of those was the Va. 28 bypass project, which would border Flat Branch stream in Manassas and cross Bull Run into Fairfax County. The directive was accepted by the board without objection from any individual supervisors, meaning no vote needed to be taken for the directive to move forward. At the time, Vega said many of her constituents are concerned increased development throughout the county could impact the county’s drinking water. Occoquan Supervisor Kenny Boddye (D), whose district borders much of the Occoquan River and reservoir in Prince William County, said he is looking forward to “reviewing staff findings that can inform board decisions on maintaining – and even improving – the water quality of the Occoquan Reservoir.” “Serving the Occoquan District, I am particularly aware of the importance of protecting our waterways,” Boddye said in an email. As supervisors have debated allowing more development – including data centers – in the county’s “rural crescent,” some residents who rely on private wells for drinking water have raised concerns about how that kind of development might affect groundwater. The county is preparing options and recommenda-
tions for a groundwater study to be considered by the board. The last groundwater study conducted in Prince William was in 1997.
Directive follows decade-old effort by community groups
The Mid-County Civic Association has been pursuing the creation of an Occoquan Reservoir overlay district for more than a decade. The association’s committee published a report with a list of recommendations for a potential overlay district in 2011 that addressed both watershed pollution and groundwater concerns near the reservoir. Their plan entails creating protections extending one mile inland from the reservoir extending from the Town of Occoquan to the City of Manassas Park. It includes restrictions on any future development in that area to one home per 5 acres and extending the minimum setbacks for any construction or clearing from 100 feet to 150 feet from the reservoir. It also recommends reducing pollutant runoff, improving stormwater facilities and preventing “inappropriate” infill development or redevelopment in existing urban areas near the reservoir. “The committee felt that the closer you get to the Occoquan Reservoir, the more important it is to have strong protections for the drinking water and streams, and lower housing density,” said Mid-County Civic Association President Martin Jeter. The Prince William Conservation Alliance, a local nonprofit, is also backing plans for an overlay district. But, according to Executive Direc-
tor Kim Hosen, the group is advocating for development restrictions throughout the entire Occoquan watershed, which spans two-thirds of the county’s landmass. “It’s important that the overlay apply to the entire watershed. Addressing problems in the upper reaches of the watershed and the headwaters is of critical importance ... If you screw up the headwaters, you’ll never recover,” Hosen said. Prince William County planners are also taking steps to comply with new, state-mandated rules that incorporate climate change into Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, some of which could overlap or be integrated into the planning of the Occoquan Reservoir overlay district, Smith said. The new rules require local governments within the Chesapeake Bay Resource Protection Area to assess how climate and sea-level rise impact new development. Climate change is causing sea levels to rise along Virginia’s coastline and an increase in intense rainstorms throughout the mid-Atlantic region, resulting in more frequent and severe flooding. “Some of the language in these new regulations are difficult to interpret and apply to local requirements. So, we’re waiting and working with [the department of environmental quality] as well as the region to come up with some guidance,” Smith said. The county has three years to update its ordinances to reflect the new changes to the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Prince William County government requires masks in public buildings By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County’s government is requiring all its employees and members of the public to wear masks inside county facilities regardless of vaccination status, as COVID-19 cases rise locally and across the state driven by the more contagious Delta variant. County Executive Chris Martino sent an email to county staff on Friday, Aug. 6 announcing the updated mask-wearing policy would take effect on Monday, Aug. 9. “Due to the guidance from the [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and, most recently, the local health directors, I have updated the face covering directive to reinstate that face coverings must be worn by all employees, regardless of vaccination status, in all indoor public settings while on duty … Members of the public will also be required to wear
face coverings inside county facilities,” Martino said. Martino added that this “is a rapidly changing situation that we continue to monitor carefully.” Five Northern Virginia health district directors, including Prince William Health District Director Dr. Alison Ansher, sent a joint letter to their local elected officials Aug. 4 urging vaccinated and unvaccinated people to wear masks in public. The health departments’ recommendations are based on new U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on how to best reduce the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 through mask-wearing. That guidance recommends that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people wear a face mask covering in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission. “Currently all Northern Virginia jurisdictions are experiencing substantial disease transmis-
sions and are trending upwards in their average number of daily cases. Based on this, the five Northern Virginia Health Departments recommend that individuals wear masks while indoors, regardless of vaccination status, in government and other public settings,” the letter said. The Delta variant of COVID-19 has caused surges of cases and hospitalizations in some Southern states, including Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas. In some states, hospitalizations have reached levels higher than before the vaccine was made available. Gov. Ralph Northam recommended on July 29 that “all Virginians should consider wearing a mask in public indoor settings where there is an increased risk of COVID-19 transmission, as the new CDC guidance recommends.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com

DMV says it’s still not ready to resume walk-in service By Ned Oliver
Virginia Mercury
A year and a half into the pandemic, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles is still operating on an appointment-only basis. Some state lawmakers, angered by wait times that can last months, say it’s time for that to change. “I get complaints all the time about DMV and people not being able to get in,” said Sen. Chap Petersen, D-34th, of Fairfax City, during a floor debate in the Senate this week. “My license has been expired for three months, just to give you one example.” Petersen successfully persuaded his colleagues in the Senate to insert language into the budget lawmakers are debating in a special session that started this week. The new measure would require the DMV to immediately resume walk-in service. The measure still has to get past the House of Delegates and Gov. Ralph Northam, who ultimately oversees the DMV as head of the executive branch. And the DMV has made clear it’s not ready to go back to the packed waiting rooms that were a hallmark of its pre-pandemic operations. In response to the Senate’s push for a full reopening, DMV leaders counter that they’re actually operating more efficiently and serving more customers than before the pandemic thanks to a shift to more online and over-the-phone services while keeping employees safe by limiting in-person services to people with timed appointments. A DMV spokeswoman, Jessica Cowardin, said the agency processed 388,000 transactions last week, up from 309,000 per-week before the pandemic began. Cowardin also said feedback from customers suggests most people actually like the appointment-only model, citing an internal survey that found 77% of customers wanted the agency to continue offering appointments.

“By installing an appointment system we have become more efficient, transactions are conducted quickly and customer wait times have been minimized,” she wrote in an email. “And appointment availability will continue to increase as we are able to hire and train employees and emerge more fully from the pandemic, which is still ongoing.” Lawmakers in the Senate say that if other public-facing government services can fully reopen, so should the DMV. “I remind you that in two weeks, we are going to send 1.2 million school children back into school buildings,” Petersen said. Petersen, a Democrat with a contrarian streak, drew pushback largely from members of his own party, who argued that with more contagious variants of COVID-19 spreading, now might not be the time to fill up DMV waiting rooms. “I think it would be very unwise with all of the uncertainties to require DMV employees to come into work,” said Sen. Janet Howell, D-32nd, of Fairfax, who chairs the Senate’s budget committee. “And I would predict that the upshot would be that we might
lose a lot of very good employees as a result.” But in the narrowly divided chamber, the measure drew enthusiastic support from Republicans. Sen. Richard Stuart, R-28th, who represents part Prince William County, called it “the most practical and best idea I’ve seen since I’ve been in Richmond this week.” Sen. Jill Vogel, R-27th, of Fauquier, meanwhile, lamented the inconvenience the new appointment system has caused. “We are making people’s lives miserable.” Several people entering the DMV’s headquarters in Richmond for appointments on Thursday seemed to agree with the sentiment. As she dropped her mom off for an appointment, Pashyn Perry said she had tried to help renew her license online but was ultimately instructed to make an in-person appointment. She said the wait was three months and her mom was unwilling to drive during the time because her license was expired. “If you have to get something done, I’d rather go in there and sit and wait an hour rather than two or three months,” Perry said.

NEWS BRIEFS Prince William superintendent hires new chief of staff
Prince William County Public Schools announced last week the hiring of Elisa M. Botello as Superintendent LaTanya McDade’s “chief of staff,” a new position added to the superintendent’s executive leadership team. Botello previously worked for McDade when McDade was chief education officer for Chicago Public Schools. In her new role, Botello will prioritize and facilitate the resolution of critical issues on behalf of the superintendent, according to a school division news release. Botello will also “make sure the superintendent is engaged appropriately in key organizational decisions and will serve as a liaison to the school board, county leaders, and external agencies and partners to drive the implementation of strategic initiatives in support of the division’s mission,” the release said. Botello’s annual salary is $163,727, according to school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta. Botello has 16 years of experience in Chicago Public Schools. In her most recent position, Botello supported daily executive operations, continuous improvement structures, and mid-to-long-term strategy development and execution to provide quality educational programming for students, according to a Prince William County news release.
Botello earned a bachelor of art and design degree in photography from University of Illinois at Chicago.
Police announce enhanced drunk driving enforcement
The Prince William County Police Department will join law enforcement agencies across Virginia this month in an effort to deter drunk driving and boost enforcement. The county police department’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign will begin on Aug. 18 and continue through Sept. 6, according to a police news release. One aim of the campaign is to boost awareness of recent law changes that created harsher penalties for impaired drivers. A law passed in 2020 increased the offense of drunk driving that causes permanent and significant impairment to another person from a class 6 felony to a class 4 felony, punishable by two to 10 years in prison. The law also created a class 6 felony for drunk driving that causes serious bodily injury that is not permanently disabling, the release said. “By educating our communities on the importance of driving sober, we can help avoid loss of life, debilitating injuries and unbearable heartache,” the release said. “Impaired driving is both reckless and preventable. Drivers break the law by driving impaired, putting thousands of travelers at risk every
day. The police department wants drivers to know impaired driving is not tolerated. No excuses and no warnings. If drivers are caught driving impaired, they will be arrested.”

Volunteer drivers needed for transportation funding study
Transurban, the company that owns and operates the toll lanes on Interstates 95, 395 and 495, needs volunteers for a mileage-based user-fee study in the greater Washington area that aims to explore new ways to fund transportation infrastructure. Volunteers will be paid $100 for their participation. The study is part of the largest multi-state mileage-based user fee exploration in the Eastern U.S., according to a Transurban news release. The DriveTU study will examine how mileage-based user fee systems can work with toll roads, and how such systems can incorporate congestion, the release said.
NOBLE SENIOR – LIVING – at Warrenton
The study is designed to identify alternatives to the gasoline tax, which is a primary means for funding transportation improvements in Virginia and across the U.S. “As the prevalence of electric vehicles increases, and fuel tax revenues decline, policymakers are looking to identify more sustainable, transparent, and equitable means of addressing infrastructure funding shortfalls to ensure long-term maintenance and operation of road and transit systems,” the release said. “Mileage-based user fees are based on the ‘user pays’ principle and are seen as a possible solution.” Transurban is recruiting 400 eligible participants for the threemonth pilot, including current drivers of the Virginia Express Lanes and others in the region. While no money will be exchanged, participants will receive a sample invoice that includes simulated fees for distance driven, as well as for travel in peak times or high-congestion locations, the release said. “Our research has shown that a mileage-based user fee approach is viable, and that drivers are open to a ‘user pays’ approach to transportation funding,” Patricia Hendren, executive director at The Eastern Transportation Coalition, said in the news release.

GUEST OPINION
G3 community college grants offer the working poor a better path forward By Glenn DuBois It’s time we’ve had a frank talk about ALICE. After all, we have come to understand more and more the critical role that ALICE plays in Virginia’s economic health and prosperity, and after years of applying that learning toward strategies designed to help ALICE overcome generational inertia, we have reached an important inflection point, especially here in Virginia. As we emerge from our pandemic cocoons, it’s time for ALICE to finally set its sights on new horizons. So, let’s talk about how we get there. ALICE is the United Way acronym that describes a significant demographic slice of the population: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. Representing almost one third of Virginia’s families, ALICE households do not earn enough to afford basic necessities even as their income falls above federal poverty levels, thus disqualifying them for most federal assistance programs. And despite full-time jobs (often more than one), they struggle to earn enough to support their family’s core needs. As we all do, ALICE families aspire to improve their situations. Upward mobility is, after all, the promise of the American dream. But recent research suggests that not only are ALICE households not improving their financial circumstances, but conditions for them actually are getting worse. The cost of living is climbing, particularly for such essentials as housing, childcare, food, transportation and health care. While the general inflation rate for the national economy was just 1.8% annually over the past decade, the so-called ALICE Essentials Index was almost double: 3.4%. For families already struggling to make ends meet, the rise in the cost of basic needs further dilutes their buying power and capacity to “get ahead.” On top of this, the wages paid to ALICE workers have been stagnant. As of 2018, almost half of Virginia’s workers (47%) were paid hourly, with one in two (53%) earning less than $20 per hour. In addition to minimal increases in pay, the research pointed to greater fluctuations in job hours and schedules, making it more difficult for workers to make firm budgets and financial plans. From a public policy standpoint, it’s worth asking how we can help the ALICE cohort extract themselves from their predicament. Not only would doing so help improve the quality of life for thousands of Virginia families, but the state econ-
omy would also receive a significant windfall. One estimate holds that if all households were able to exceed the ALICE threshold, the boost to the commonwealth’s GDP would exceed $100 billion. Those of us in higher education recognize intuitively the role that education can play in helping raise the tide that lifts all boats. Virginia’s community colleges, in particular, are poised to help ALICE workers learn new skills and obtain higher degrees that will give them access to better-paying jobs and more fulfilling careers. That is the premise behind a new initiative called G3. Signed into law earlier this spring by Gov. Northam, the Get a Skill, Get a Job, Get Ahead” program helps low- to middle-income students pursue work in high-demand fields, from welding to cybersecurity to nursing. Qualified students (those with annual incomes under $100,000) receive free tuition (as well as other support) toward degree and certification programs within the state’s community college system, opening wide the door to opportunity for thousands of Virginia students. Whether a student just graduated high school, is an adult learner returning to school or is starting college for the first time, community colleges are designed to serve as an educational safety net for our community. And so, we’ve designed G3 to support students who don’t have the luxury of focusing solely on education. It’s meant to support students with financial hardship, those with jobs and child care and other real-life obligations. In just the first few weeks since its launch, we are already encouraged at the potential for G3 to make a tangible and enduring difference. Close to $3 million in G3 aid has been awarded within early childhood education, health care, information technology, public safety and skilled trades, construction and manufacturing. Our data suggests that upon completion of their studies, students can anticipate earning between 25% and 50% more in wages. The pandemic forced upon many of us a period of reflection, a chance to assess our lives and consider new trajectories. For many, many families in Virginia, G3 can be the springboard to an invigorated vision of their future. Glenn DuBois, Ph.D., is the chancellor of Virginia’s Community Colleges.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Getting the vaccine will help us get to zero There’s one particularly important measure to focus on when we consider why getting the COVID-19 vaccine has been so important here in Prince William County: The number of local lives lost to the virus. During the early part of the vaccine rollout, on March 3, the Virginia Department of Health reported 17 deaths in the Prince William Health District. (I received my first shot March 24.) Since June 1, we’ve had 14 deaths combined, including zero during the first nine days of August. At least 52% of our total population in the county is fully vaccinated, including 64.5% of our adults -- and that doesn’t include federally administered doses, which total more than 448,000 in Virginia alone. Right now, because of the Delta variant, our case count is up: We had 55 reported cases on Monday, Aug. 9. We had two reported cases on June 1. Yet our hospitalizations and deaths are low. Breakthrough cases happen: About 25% to 30% of cases in Prince William County because of Delta, as noted recently in the Prince William Times. But those who are vaccinated are significant-
ly less likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19 compared to nonvaccinated people and the data backs that up. So please take care of yourself and your neighbors by getting vaccinated. We have mobile vaccine clinics hosted by the Prince William Health District in Woodbridge, Manassas and Manassas Park; weekly clinics hosted by the GMU MAP Clinic at the Manassas Park Community Center; and pharmacies all across the county are offering the vaccine, too. You can also get vaccinated at the PWHD’s Manassas and Woodbridge clinics each weekday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The vaccine is free. Many places don’t require an appointment. So please take care of yourself and our community by getting vaccinated if you haven’t yet or, for those who have been vaccinated, by encouraging people in your life to do the same. The only good case number is zero. The only good hospitalization number is zero. The only good death number is zero, Let’s get to zero across the board and wipe this out together. DEL. DANICA ROEM, D-13TH Manassas
Police should focus on enforcing the laws This is being written in response to the “Report on Racial Disparities in Police Use of Force,” published July 28. We cannot believe local law enforcement in our county and country who believe they are being “too tough” on criminals!! (If that is so, then why do we make laws?) Most residents say, “Enforce
the laws.” We are sick and tired of being afraid to go to the mall or walk down the street without being mugged (or worse)! We are getting older and now my wife won’t go to the mall without her mace; that should not be necessary. CLETIS AND VICKI NEAL Gainesville

Free tours of the historic site are offered before the concerts begin.
Bluegrass concert series at Brentsville Courthouse When the Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre hosts bluegrass bands, appreciative crowds usually show up to listen. The historic centre, at 12229 Bristow Road, hosted one socially distanced bluegrass concert last year. This year, the series will expand to three concerts on Saturdays, Aug. 14, Sept. 11 and Oct. 9. “We used to have bluegrass concerts every year as part of Brentsville Day, but with everything that’s been going on for the past year or so, we weren’t able to have Brentsville Day in 2019 or 2020,” said Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre Site Manager Paige Gibbons-Backus. “Our bluegrass concert series is a way to bring the history and heritage of Brentsville Day and the bluegrass concerts to the site without having the big, massive event that we’ve done in the past.” The Skystone Bluegrass Band will kick off this year’s season of the Brentsville Bluegrass Concert Series this weekend, on Saturday, Aug. 14. The band will play a selection of waltzes and hard-driving, traditional bluegrass music. “Most of it is pretty fast-paced. It’s old-time music,” said Tommy J. Barlow, Skystone’s dobro player. “They’ll hear a lot of songs they’ve heard all their lives. There’ll be some gospel and other songs, that more than likely, they’ll be able to sing along to.” Skystone’s Ben Outland, on guitar and lead vocals, Paul Clarke, singer and bass player and Larry Carpenter on banjo will join Barlow, as they strive to please the crowd. “We’re hoping, number one, that it’s successful for Brentsville, and number two, we’re hoping that the people who have been pent up in
The Skystone Bluegrass Band will play three Saturday night concerts at the Brentsville Historic Centre at 5 p.m. on Aug. 15, Sept. 11 and Oct. 9. their houses for the last year or so will be able to get out, have a good time and listen to some good music.” When the gates open at 4 p.m., visitors will be able to tour the grounds to see the insides of the buildings including the Brentsville Courthouse, the Brentsville School and the newly opened Brentsville Jail Museum. “The site will be open for self-guided tours and we’re going to have interpreters stationed throughout the site,” Gibbons-Backus said. The concerts will start at 5 p.m. The concerts are well received.
“People have absolutely loved them,” Gibbons-Backus said. “They love being able to get outside and gather as a family and listen to bluegrass music in the historic site. The concerts bring a lot of people to the historic site who might not normally go to take a regular tour, and it allows them to see and explore the buildings at their own pace and enjoy a nice evening outside listening to some great bluegrass music.” King Street Bluegrass is scheduled to appear on Sept. 11, and the band Page County Ramblers is
scheduled to perform on Oct. 9. Admission is $10. People should bring chairs. Food and beverage are available for purchase on-site. The concert is on the lawn behind the courthouse, which is marked to help maintain social distancing. Face masks are required indoors. Space is limited. Advance ticket purchases are recommended. Visit www.pwcparks.org/bluegrass to buy tickets. Call 703-365-7895 for more information. Submitted by Prince William County.

In short, keeping your muscular system healthy by stretching and strengthening provides necessary balance that can help prevent injuries. If there is an injury already, take your medical professional’s advice and heal accordingly so that you can bounce back stronger. Poor posture and improper movement all stems from muscle imbalance and can lead to injury if you are not careful, aware and regularly stretching. Remember, you don’t have to be flexible to stretch. Seeking out the help of a personal trainer may help keep you accountable along the way.
2 -- Breathe
The power of conscious breathwork can provide you with more energy, more peace and stronger abdominal wall muscles the more you practice diaphragmatic breathing. Most people are shallow breathers, but the deeper you utilize the full capacity of the lungs, the healthier you become. There are three parts to the breath: low, below the navel; mid, around the entire rib cage; upper, into the collar bone. In the last year and a half of COVID-19, the attack on the respiratory system has limited this. The best way to rebuild your lungs is to breathe a breath of fresh air into the three parts of your torso as much as possible. Yoga breathing techniques have proven to keep blood pressure down, reduce anxieties and help with depression. The simple practice of breathing with awareness can lead you toward
a brighter future in so many ways. Not only will your energy increase and your body strengthen, but it will help with your balance Monica Fernandi as well. The breath is often what I call your “free medicine.” If you want to know more about how to strengthen your breathing techniques, you can begin by taking a yoga class that caters to your level of fitness.
3 -- Balance work
When working with my clients, I lead with breath work, then add footwork, as this is where balance awareness begins. From the moment you stand up to start your day, your feet ground you; if you feel unstable it can be disconcerting. The ability to stand on one leg to put your pants on can be daunting unless you have a chair to hold on to for support. Stability starts here and if you feel wobbly then strengthening the feet is one of three things to work on. We all take our feet for granted. The other tools for balance are focus and breath. Once the fear of falling enters the mind, all the balance tools can go out the window and falls can happen. So practice the following simple exercises while at the kitchen sink or while brushing your teeth and you will build confidence as you stand strong on your own two feet. 1: Rock on to your toes and then shift to your heels, moving your body weight slightly from front to back. Hold a chair or the sink for support. 2: Lift all the toes and spread them out then scrunch them in. Do both these exercises 5 to 10 times. 3: Lift one heel as you bend the knee, then the other. Walk in place to wake up the ankle mobility. 4: Then shift your whole body left and right while holding on. This should feel “zombie-like” as you include the soles of the feet to the crown of your head. When you feel comfortable enough, lift a leg for a few breaths, then switch. Gradually let go of the hand support when ready, use the breath and focus straight ahead to keep yourself safe.. Be kind and be patient with yourself. Balance takes practice but can be improved as you go. Think of your feet as the roots of a tree, the breath as the breeze that flows from roots to limbs and then stretch your imagination and soar to a whole new level of wellness. We are all aging while adapting to a new way of living after the pandemic pause. Less socializing and more virtual connections may have us feeling tight in our necks, back or hips -- but more resilient in our hearts because of all we have endured. The good news is we are still here! Monica Fernandi is a wellness coach, personal trainer and a yoga coach. For more info reach out to her on monicafernandi.com.

Want a safe and comfortable home? Use ‘universal design’ By Stephanie Kennedy
Special to the Fauquier Times
Many of us have heard the terms “ADA compliant” or “universal design.” The National Association of Home Builders prefers the term “aging in place.” Millions of Americans are living longer and more active lives. Because they are embracing newly found changing lifestyles, they need to revitalize their home environment. When it comes to aging Americans, NAHB has been training its members to create “livable homes,” whether it is new construction or remodeling an existing residence. Young or older, everyone can use universal design. Because of universal design, people who are very different can all enjoy the same home. And that home will be there for all its inhabitants, even when their needs change. The idea of designing new or remodeling your home and A shower without a lip to step over and a showerhead with a flexible hose can make showering easier for someone with limited mobility.
Aging in place means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably. JOEL BARKMAN Golden Rule Builders
considering all the changes that need to be made can be daunting. Remember that the most important goal is to create a safer, barrier-free home. The checklist below contains features to consider for new construction or a remodeling project. Changes in the kitchen typically include: • Upper wall cabinetry 3 inches lower than conventional height • Base cabinet with roll out trays and lazy Susans • Open shelving for easy access for frequently used items • Side-by-side refrigerator/freezer • Raised dishwasher with push-button controls • Lower side opening oven Changes in the bathrooms (the number one place for accidents) include: • Tub and shower controls moved closer to entry point • Lever handles and faucets • Slip-resistant flooring • Adjustable/ handheld showerheads, 6-foot hose

“It’s hard for us to imagine what it’s like to wake up every morning and think, ‘I don’t belong here,’” said Kristine Theurer, a longtime expert in senior care. As a music therapist (and later a recreation director) for a nursing home in British Columbia, she noticed the calendar was filled with bowling, movie nights and day trips — what Theurer described as “a relentless diet of entertainment and distraction.” Almost none of the activities, though, were designed to help residents connect with each other. That realization drove her to create the Java Music Club, a peer-support group soon to be unrolled in 30 longterm care facilities across the commonwealth. LeadingAge Virginia, an association of nonprofit aging services, is offering the program to members — along with two additional services developed by Theurer — with help from a grant from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. “Nursing homes will receive training and all the materials for the programs, along with additional support throughout the year,” said vice president and legislative counsel Dana Parsons. The two-year project will include the Java Music Club and Java Memory Care — a similar program adapted for patients with latestage dementia — in addition to a peer-to-peer mentorship program for particularly isolated residents. More than a year and a half into the pandemic, the grant is a much-needed boost for many Virginia nursing homes, where residents spent months confined amid often-deadly outbreaks. In-person visitation was closed for nearly a year, and many facilities are still phasing in group activities — often while struggling to fill major workforce shortages. When those programs are running, they typically attract the same 70% of residents, according to Theurer. “Those are the social butterflies — the people who would come to everything anyway,” she said. But many facilities struggle to engage the other 30% of people living in their communities, who often say they have difficulty connecting with other residents without support. Much of that traces back to the reality of living in a nursing home, where most residents eat and sleep under the same roof without really knowing one another, said Geneva Bagby, the activities director for Birmingham Green in Manassas. The facility has been running the Java Music Club for
nearly five years — excluding much of the pandemic — since Bagby attended one of Theurer’s sessions at a professional conference. “I just really fell in love with the program,” Bagby said. Typically, eight to 10 people meet once a week for the group, which deliberately includes more social residents and those who are struggling to engage. The program does include music, but most of the activity is centered around conversation on a specific topic. “There’s a talking stick that goes around, and everyone gets a chance to speak,” Bagby said. At the end of the discussion, the residents recite an affirmation together, and then get a chance to continue chatting over coffee and snacks. “It’s giving them a chance to develop relationships and something to talk about when they see each other outside the program,” she added. “Like, ‘Hey, how’s your daughter-in-law?’ or ‘How is your son doing with his new job?’ Something personal that helps them connect in a meaningful way.” Multiple facilities have studied the program and found that it reduces symptoms of loneliness and depression among participants. Theurer said she was inspired to start the group after her own experiences with grief support therapy, which she avoided for years after her older brother died by suicide. “I thought, ‘So I’m going to sit around the table with a bunch of other sad people and we’re going to be sad together— how could that possibly help me?’” she said. But sharing her experience, Theurer found, helped her process her own grief. She’s witnessed the same effect among residents, including one patient with dementia who was assumed to be nonverbal by most staff at the facility where she was living. The first time Theurer heard the woman speak, it was to comfort another resident mourning the loss of her husband. The LeadingAge funding will also sponsor the Java Mentorship program, which teams up residents and volunteers to visit more socially isolated patients. The goal, Theurer said, is to encourage those residents to engage and participate in other activities. Birmingham Green is currently in the process of launching the program, though it paid for the materials and training through a different grant program. “I think it’s going to really help the people who don’t want to leave their rooms,” Bagby said. “It’s almost like a welcoming committee for them.”

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL GOLF PREVIEW
LET’S PLAY 18!
Battlefield returns as region champs, Patriot looks solid, Gainesville debuts By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times
High school sports are already underway, with a series of golf tournaments getting the schedule started. Across Prince William County, young golfers are seeking to sharpen their swings and lower their scores, with one new school is taking its initial hacks on the links. Here’s a look at some of the golf teams we’ll be watching:
Battlefield Bobcats
The Bobcats wasted no time announcing their intention to defend their Region B championship of last season. On Aug. 5, Battlefield won the Prince William Cup, shooting a 289 to mark its lowest team score in six seasons. That feat came on the heels of a quad victory Aug. 4 at Bull Run Golf Course, and a runner-up finish Aug. 2 in the Riverbend Invitational at Fawn Lake. “The season is off to a great start,” fifth-year head coach Russ Fricke said. “The team this year is as deep a team as I’ve coached while at Battlefield.” Senior Dylan Grace, the region’s individual champion last season and a top-10 finisher at states, is the Bobcats’ “true leader,” Fricke said. But a core of seniors including Tate Corbett, Nick Grzejka, Gavin Furlong, and Will Harley will take turns leading the team. Like that senior crop, junior Colby Burnett and sophomore Paxton Ihm are both capable of shooting in the 70s on a regular basis. “[They] have improved significantly over summer through regional junior competition and added to the overall depth of the team,” Fricke said. For the Bobcats to break through and capture an elusive state title, they must outshoot the Langley Saxons, current five-time defending state champs. “With six kids capable of shooting

under par on a given day, we will have to play our best to stay with Langley,” Fricke said. “We have been chasing Langley every year as they are a model of success. Every year the kids want to be the team that knocks them off their pedestal. This group expects to be that team and so do I.”
Patriot Pioneers

Charles Carter Mackall “Carter” Charles Carter Mackall, “Carter,” 52 of The Plains, VA, died August 5, 2021, at home on his beloved family farm Selby of complications from colorectal cancer.

Jonathan Mayhew Rowley (“Jon”) Jonathan Mayhew Rowley (“Jon”) passed away on August 4th, 2021, at the age of 79, in Warrenton, Virginia. His battle with many serious health conditions over the past several years is evidence that he was stronger than most, as he faced them all head-on with a smile, and puzzled every doctor along the way. Jon was a loving father, friend, partner, and soon-to-be grandfather. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to a family with roots back to the Mayflower. But he spent most of his life in the Northern Virginia area where he built a family and a career. He graduated from Fairfax High School as a star football player, and from American University magna cum laude. Jon remained deeply loyal to the friends of his youth throughout his entire life. He loved to teach tennis, ski out West, and play golf, but his true love was working on anything with an engine. Jon had the “gift of gab” which afforded him a great career as a leading salesman. He was the life of every party. He is survived by his two children, Lauren and Cole; his three siblings, Susannah, Belinha, and Josh; and his partner, Jackie. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and anyone who was lucky enough to have a conversation with him over the past 79 years. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project, PO Box 758516, Topeka, KS, 66675, http:// woundedwarriorproject.org. Online condolences may be expressed at www.moserfuneralhome. com.

She died five days after her 95th birthday. She grew up in Warren, Pennsylvania, as the fourth of five children. Anne was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Edward Harrington (1952) and Anna Munson Harrington (1967), her siblings, William Harrington (1945), Ella Harrington Cashman (2009), Alice Harrington Johnsen (2002), Dr. John L. Harrington (2021), her grandson, Patrick Ryan Gay (2007), her daughter-in-law, Pamela Jane Kettis Gay (2019), and her former husband, John Robert Gay (1984).

Gay of Warrenton, as well as five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, including two great-grandsons born this spring, which delighted her. A medical technician by training, she received a degree from the Thomas Jefferson Medical Center in Philadelphia, having previously studied at the Norfolk campus of William & Mary University/VPI. She worked in the lab at the Warren Medical Center from 1963-1970 and at Warren General Hospital from 1970 until her retirement in 1990. After her graduation from Warren High School in 1943 at age 16, she lived with the family of her sister, Ella Harrington Cashman, and her husband, Dr. William M. Cashman, while he served as a surgeon at the Norfolk Naval Hospital during World War II. Upon returning to Warren, she pursued her career as a medical technologist at Warren General and became active in the Warren Players’ Club. After moving to Lansing, Michigan, with her husband, she moved to northern New Jersey with her young family in 1954, returning to Warren nine years later. For many years, she was a faithful member of Warren’s St. Joseph’s Catholic parish, serving as an usher. In 2013, she moved to Warrenton to be closer to her children and grandchildren. She loved old movies, dime store novels, the Great American Songbook, and the music of Tony Bennett, whose date of birth, she was always proud to point out, came just two days after her own. She also loved playing cards with her grandchildren, especially 500 Rummy, where she gave no quarter. A memorial service in Warren, PA, will be planned for later this year. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Warren County (PA) Historical Society (https://www.wchsmuseum.org/) or the Patrick Ryan Gay Scholarship Fund (https://www.patsq.com/).
