Students express excitement, nervousness as new year begins

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

“It’s nerve-racking, but also exciting.” That’s how Freedom High School senior Daniel Martinez, 17, said he felt about heading back to school Monday morning, the first day of classes for Prince William County students.

Martinez, a member of Freedom High School’s Air Force Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, came to school dressed in his full uniform on Monday morning along with a face mask, a requirement of all students, staff and visitors across the school division. Martinez said he thought his fellow classmates likely had the same mixed emotions as they returned to school during the pandemic, some for the first time in more than a year.

‘Devastating’: Local Afghan community reacts to U.S. withdrawal

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

In the mid-1990s, Zainab Mohsini and her family fled Afghanistan just before the Taliban took over the country for the first time. And last week, she watched in disbelief from her home in Fairfax as the notoriously brutal organization toppled the Afghan government once again.

Mohsini, 32, and her family, who belong to Afghanistan’s Hazara ethnic minority, left their home country fearing religious and ethnic persecution. Now, many of her relatives who still live there are worried for their safety. Some worked for U.S.-backed organizations, but none have been able to leave Kabul yet, Mohsini said.

“The entire situation is very upsetting for all of us because that’s our homeland. That’s the place where my parents grew up, where they got married, where they started their family and where they had to leave their parents behind.”

GOP supervisors allege politics in police email probe

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

On Aug. 3, a Dumfries man sent an email to local elected officials with the subject line “Government Target” that criticized Democratic members of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. A day later, county police sent an officer to his home to question him, but ultimately concluded the message was not a threat.

Now, the board’s three Republican supervisors are demanding the county’s police chief publicly explain why the department chose to question the email’s author, and whether the police department’s investigation was politically motivated.

Booster shots are coming.

Here’s what that means for Virginia

By Kate Masters Virginia Mercury

The White House and federal health officials announced last week that COVID-19 boosters will likely become available to U.S. adults by Sept. 20, following a review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

In Virginia, officials have already begun planning the logistics of the rollout, state vaccine coordinator Dr. Danny Avula said at an Aug. 19 news briefing. More than 4.7 million Virginians — just over 55% of the total population— are currently fully vaccinated. Most will become eligible for their third shots over the next eight months, boosting lagging demand across the state.

Here’s everything we know so far about the next stage of the Virginia’s vaccination campaign.

Why do I need a booster?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based its recommendation on emerging evidence from several national studies and data from other countries, including Israel, which is grappling with a new surge of infections despite a highly successful vaccination campaign.

There are several main takeaways from the research, Avula said. One is that the protection of available vaccines against infection — or the

presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the body — appears to wane over time. Another is that vaccines appear to be somewhat less protective against the Delta variant, a highly infectious form of the virus that now accounts for the vast majority of new cases across the country.

Understanding that immunity appears to wane over time, the federal government is anticipating that third shots will be needed to boost the immune system’s defenses against COVID-19.

“Basically, it’s a reminder that the immune system needs to remain vigilant for this,” said Dr. John McCarty, medical director of the Cellular Immunotherapies and Transplant Program at VCU Massey Cancer Center.

Importantly, though, the recommendation shouldn’t be interpreted as a sign that the shots aren’t working. Even with waning immunity and the rise of more aggressive variants, studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are still highly protective against severe disease and death.

Most so-called “breakthrough” infections, or cases among the fully vaccinated, are asymptomatic or mild — another clear signal that inoculations are doing their job.

54,283 Cases (Up 738) 2,048 Hospitalizations (Up 35) 577 Deaths (Up 4) 7.8% Percent-positivity rate (Up from 6.7%)

Waning immunity is also a wellknown part of vaccine science, McCarty pointed out. The flu vaccine is reformulated and distributed every year to protect against new strains of the virus. As some people get older, they lose their natural resistance to chicken pox, which is why older adults often face recurrent cases of shingles. And some COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers are now developing boosters specifically targeting the delta variant, though they likely won’t become available until at least next year.

“Sometimes, in the middle of the night, the watchman gets a little sleepy,” McCarty said. “This is like a nice little shot of espresso.”

Vaccinations

% of population with at least one dose Prince William: 60.2% Manassas: 62.9% Manassas Park: 55.1%

% of population fully vaccinated Prince William: 53.4% Manassas: 54.8% Manassas Park: 49.7%

Who will be eligible for a third shot?

Currently, the recommendations only apply to people 18 and older who have already received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.

Right now, the CDC doesn’t have enough data to recommend a booster shot for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was authorized for use later into the rollout.

Avula said federal officials hope to have enough data compiled by Sept. 20 to issue a recommendation on boosters for Johnson & Johnson recipients. Health officials are also still examining if children will need an additional dose.

While healthy adults become eligible for the shots next month, third doses are already available — and recommended — for certain immunocompromised people. Those include many cancer patients, organ and stem cell transplant recipients, and patients with advanced or untreated HIV, or other conditions that can cause immunodeficiency.

The recommendations for immunocompromised patients are also limited to those who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. For those patients, two shots may not have been enough to build up a sufficient immune response against the virus.

When should I get my booster?

For healthy adults, eight months

% of adults with at least one dose Prince William: 73.6% Manassas: 78.6% Manassas Park: 64.9% Note: Numbers are current as of Wednesday, Aug. 25. New cases, hospitalizations, deaths and vaccinations in red and blue added between Aug. 19-25.

after receiving your second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Since the original rollout was staggered — a function of limited supply — Avula said most boosters will gradually be administered through the end of the year. The biggest rush is expected the week of Dec. 26, when about 320,000 Virginians will become eligible.

Of course, the initial rollout was flush with residents flocking to faraway clinics or scouring Facebook to find appointments before shots became available in their own local health districts. “I do think there will be a rush of people who are ready, they’re waiting, they’ll try to get vaccinated as soon as they’re eligible or maybe even before,” Avula said.

Data centers set their sights on Fauquier Land crunch in Prince William is pushing facilities further out

By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

In Prince William County, pressure is building to make more land available for data center construction. Meanwhile, Fauquier County is seeing an uptick in interest in data centers. Such developments are prompting concerns in Prince William that if the county doesn’t do more to attract the huge, equipment-packed buildings – which provide a healthy amount of tax revenue – then they will migrate to Fauquier or elsewhere.

“If no viable options are available, data center operators that need more server capacity now will move to other markets, passing Prince William County by,” wrote Carter Wiley, a Northern Virginia commercial real estate broker, in a Prince William Times opinion piece.

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, RBrentsville, said she has heard other supervisors express the same worries.

Bolstering those concerns, in late May, the Prince William economic development department released a map and supporting data that

showed that of 8,700 acres of land in the county once thought available for data center use – land in the “data center overlay district” -- only 600 to 1,100 acres could be considered “market viable.”

This coincided with a flurry of activity in aimed at expanding available data center parcels in Prince William. On May 19, the supervisors voted to hire a consultant to start work on amending the overlay district, a set of zones where data centers are allowed by right. The results of that study, by consultant Stantec, are due by early next year.

On June 15, the board approved a one-million-square foot technology park for data centers outside the district near Haymarket, and on July 20, the board voted 5-3 to study a comprehensive plan amendment to allow data centers in a 4.5-mile-long corridor in the once-sacrosanct “rural crescent.”

Driving these moves is a desire to add more data centers, whose equipment and real estate is taxed, to bolster the county’s tax base and favor homeowners. Also at play is the worry that the cost of industrial land in Prince William, already approaching $1 million an acre, might drive data centers next door to Fauquier, where land is considerably cheaper.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

One of Fauquier’s data centers was constructed in Vint Hill in 2019.

Data centers in Fauquier

Not long ago, that would have seemed unlikely, as Fauquier officials saw little interest from data developers. But, on Aug. 10, the Warrenton Town Council approved a zoning amendment to allow data centers in the industrial zone with a special use permit. This would address interest from Amazon Web Services to put a data center on 41.7 acres of land at the intersection of U.S 29 Business and U.S. 17, an area currently zoned industrial.

Warrenton Town Council members emphasized at their Aug. 10 meeting that any specific data center application would be looked at carefully to make sure it would not negatively impact residents’ quality of life.

Fauquier already has two data centers, with others either stalled or on hold. One, owned and operated by the French OVH Groupe SAS, was constructed in Vint Hill in 2019.

A nearby 80-acre parcel in Vint Hill was re-zoned in November 2018

to allow for construction of a data center, but none has yet been built.

Another is located at the Warrenton Training Center, northwest of town.

Reportedly run by Vadata, an Amazon subsidiary, it generated county tax revenue of $2.1 million on its equipment in 2020.

Also in Fauquier, outside of Remington, a 234-acre site owned by Point One Holdings Inc. known as Remington Technology Park was re-zoned for a data farm in March 2018, and approval was given to build the first of six buildings in February 2020. Yet nothing has been constructed.

“We need to find the right customer at the right size to be able to start.

We continue to see increasing interest in Fauquier County locations as a spillover from Prince William,” said company Chief Operating Officer Colin Clish in an email. Point One had said in its filings that the buildout could take five to seven years.

GOP supervisors allege politics in police email probe EMAIL, from page 1 “After the individual sent an email to the board of county supervisors where he was critical of certain members of the board, the police were sent to his house, even though it was determined that he had not done anything illegal. This has led to questions from many of our constituents about the potential politicization of our police department,” wrote Supervisors Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, and Yesli Vega, R-Coles, in an Aug. 23 press statement.

Robert Hand, a frequent board critic and local gun rights activist, sent the email to all eight county supervisors on Tuesday, Aug. 3, at 12:21 p.m., about an hour and 40 minutes before the start of that day’s board meeting, county documents show.

The email was aimed primarily at Democratic supervisors who Hand said “showed disdain for the citizens” of the county. But the “government target” he alluded in the subject line to was not a county supervisor, but another resident named Alan Gloss who Hand said was being targeted by county officials based on a comment made by Potomac Supervisor Andrea Bailey (D) at a previous meeting.

Bailey was caught on a live microphone during the board’s July 20 meeting whispering Gloss’s name to board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, as the board returned from a closed session. It is not clear from the video exactly what Bailey said to Wheeler about Gloss, or the context of her comment. Bailey said in an interview Tuesday she could not recall exactly what she said to Wheeler that day. But she added, “I never attack my colleagues, citizens or anyone in this role.”

Gloss has also been a frequent critic of the board’s Democratic majority. He sued all five Democrats over an alleged violation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act laws in 2020. A judge dismissed the lawsuit in October. The lawsuit cost the county government $95,000 in legal fees.

About 10 minutes after Hand sent his email to the board, county records show Bailey forwarded the email to her husband, Prince William NAACP President the Rev. Cozy Bailey, who then forwarded the email to Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham, at 12:42 p.m.

“For your situational awareness.

More malice in the subject line than in the rant contained in the body of the email, but we take all communicated threats seriously,” Cozy Bailey said in his email to Newsham.

A day later, a police officer visited Hand at his home in Dumfries to ask him about the email, according to an interdepartmental email obtained by the Prince William Times. In the email, the officer said he told Hand he had not done anything illegal, but “wanted to provide any guidance on the law if desired.”

The officer added that during their conversation, “Hand ... conceded he understood he used ‘poor wording’ in the subject line of his email” and “insisted the [title of the email] was referring to citizens being a government target and not ‘targeting the government.’”

Police ultimately determined the intent of the email was “not to threaten or harass,” Newsham said in an Aug. 5 email to County Executive Chris Martino, which was also obtained by the Prince William Times.

Newsham wrote that police followed up on the email because “it is our law enforcement responsi-

Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville

Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles

bility to follow up when residents of the county believe they are the victim of online threats or harassment.”

“This would be similar to any concern of a possible criminal act sent via correspondence to someone, regardless of who they are, that is brought to our attention,” police spokeswoman Renee Carr further explained in an Aug. 24 email.

The email correspondence between Newsham and Martino, as well as internal police department emails explaining why police questioned Hand, were shared with Lawson and Candland on Aug. 6, according to county documents.

Hand said in an interview on Tuesday evening that he did not know what to make of the police department’s visit to his house on Wednesday, Aug. 4. But, he said, “I had complete confidence I did not say anything threatening” and “had not crossed a line.”

Hand is a member of the local gun-rights advocacy group “Prince William County 2A.” He has spoken frequently to the board of county supervisors during public comment time about gun rights issues and other local matters.

In an Monday, Aug. 23 press release and letter to Wheeler, the three Republican supervisors called on Newsham to “provide a full accounting” of why Hand was visited by a police officer on Aug. 3. They also

Supervisor Pete Candland, R-Gainesville

asked Wheeler to schedule an appearance from Newsham during the board’s next meeting, set for Tuesday, Sept. 7.

“I’ve been flooded with calls from citizens who are concerned that the police were sent to this individual’s house to intimidate and silence his criticism of certain members of the board of county supervisors,” Vega said in the Aug. 23 press release.

“We must receive a full accounting of who gave the order to visit this individual and why.”

“We cannot have a police force that is utilized as a political weapon for certain board members,” Lawson said in an interview with Prince William Times on Aug. 24.

Wheeler said in a Tuesday, Aug. 24 email that Newsham is already on the agenda for the Sept. 7 meeting to discuss the department’s 2020 annual crime report and will be available to discuss “matters of public concern” during the meeting. Wheeler offered no other comment on the matter.

Supervisor Andrea Bailey said Tuesday that neither she nor her office “asked the police department to investigate Mr. Hand.” She added, however, that “safety is key for all citizens, including me and my family, as I serve in public office.”

Data centers set their sights on Fauquier DATA CENTER, from page 3 Convergent VA LLC, a McLean company, submitted an application to re-zone 139 acres north of Remington for a data center in February 2019, but has since withdrawn the application.

“The developer lost interest and just asked us to put it on hold and have not heard back from them on that,” said Fauquier Supervisor Chris Butler, R-Lee. Butler, whose district includes the Remington sites, said he is not opposed to strategically placed data centers as they produce considerable tax revenue and require little in services. But, he added, “They eat up a lot of land,” which Fauquier supervisors seem intent on preserving.

He said he could not speak for the board, but added, “We all did pretty much agree that we’re not going to come close to what Loudoun or Prince William are doing. I have no desire to do that,” Butler said.

In Prince William, the data center land business has been brisk. A majority of supervisors want to see if more land can be made available, as they look to Loudoun. Taxes on Loudoun’s 20 million square feet of data projects contribute 24% of the county’s general fund. Prince William County currently has about 5.2 million square feet of data

centers generating $64 million, about 4.7% of the county’s $1.34 billion budget.

In 2017, Prince William county supervisors adopted a strategic plan calling for 35% of its tax revenue to come from the commercial sector, up from the current 15%. But that goal may not be realistic.

Lawson, who generally opposes expanding data center projects into the county’s rural zone, noted that the current strategic plan no longer cites the same 35% goal, which she called a “moonshot.”

In April, Prince William raised the tax rate on computer equipment in data centers from 15 cents to $1.50 per $100 of valuation. Fauquier’s tax rate on the equipment is $2.30. Fauquier and the town of Warrenton require data centers to use recycled water for cooling, but Prince William does not.

The market viability review released by Prince William County’s economic development department looked at all 8,700 acres in its data center overlay and divided them into six categories. The review noted that data center developers prefer lots of 30 to 40 acres, and most are looking for 100-acre lots that can be turned into a “campus.”

Ruling out land already owned by data center operators, or land environmentally unsuitable, and parcels too small to be used, the study turned

to seven remaining parcels that were site-ready – meaning they were more than 30 acres and had suitable typography – plus 98 smaller ones that might be assembled into larger parcels. Those totaled 1,378 acres, of which they estimated 600 to 1,100 might eventually become data centers – what they called “market viable.”

“So, there’s limited land viability in the data center overlay,” said Jeff Green, PWCDED’s information technology communications manager.

The study also listed 27 parcels in Prince William owned by data center companies or developers, many owned for three or more years. Yet, according to the latest tax assessment, 26 of the 27 had not been built on. While that could be interpreted to mean that demand for data storage was not as intense as believed, experts said it was more likely that the developers were just “land banking” as they anticipated the need to continue to grow exponentially.

Whether – and when – that will happen is an open question.

“I really think data centers are gonna be the shopping malls of 2050,” said Warrenton Vice-Mayor Sean Polster, as his town council paved the way for two of them. “They would be big, vacant buildings. What do you do then?”

‘Devastating’: Local Afghan community reacts to U.S. withdrawal AFGHANISTAN, from page 1 “It’s a matter of life and death.

And I just feel disappointed in our government. We left Afghanistan and now there’s radio silence from many leaders when it comes to the situation right now. People are desperate,” Mohsini said.

For Afghan Americans living in Northern Virginia – the second largest Afghan diaspora in the U.S. – the feelings of fear and disbelief are shared by many. Some described sleepless nights as they rushed to contact relatives to try to help get them out of the country. Others said they felt helpless as the country fell into disarray. And others laid the blame on the U.S. government’s response.

“I’m hoping that things get better, but I seriously doubt it. I think things are going to get pretty ugly,” said Jake Zargarpur, 57, who fled Afghanistan with his family in 1980.

Zargarpur, of Manassas, is chairman of the Muslim Association of Virginia board and the husband of Prince William County School Board member Lisa Zargarpur (Coles).

Zargarpur said he still has relatives living in Northern Afghanistan. He said, “They’re just shocked at the colossal failure of everyone involved, whether it be the Afghans, the Afghan military or the international community. It’s just totally shocking.”

Thousands of Afghan civilians worked alongside the U.S. military during the 20-year war launched in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

Many, including translators, have received special immigrant visas, or SIVs, to come to the U.S. Hundreds of refugees began arriving at Dulles Airport over the weekend. Some have been temporarily sheltering at Northern Virginia Community College’s Annandale campus and at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly.

On Sunday, Aug. 22, the Dar Alnoor Islamic Community Center in Manassas organized a collection of clothing, baby formula, toiletries, food and other supplies for the Afghan refugees.

A total of 34,500 special immigrant visas have been allotted for Aghan applicants since 2014, according to the state department website, including 8,000 additional visas approved on July 30.

Baktash Ahadi, 39, an Afghan immigrant and former interpreter for the U.S. Marines, said in an interview with Prince William Times he felt a sense of shock, grief and betrayal as he watched the fall of Kabul from his home in Washington D.C. “I think people knew the United States was not going to be in Afghanistan forever. But the way in which the Biden administration abandoned Afghanistan, and the subsequent turmoil, made me feel like my government here in the United States betrayed Afghanistan, and it betrayed Afghanistan in a very deep and detrimental way,” Ahadi said.

Ahadi served as an interpreter the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan for three years, from around 2009 to 2012, and now works as a documentary filmmaker. He said many in the Afghan diaspora felt deep grief as they watched the country fall into the hands of the Taliban for the first time in 20 years.

“Even though we’re abroad, most of us still have so much family back in Afghanistan. Half of my family still lives in Afghanistan and Kabul. And so, the hopes and dreams that I had for them, and the country that could have been, is no longer,” Ahadi said.

More than 800,000 American service members have served in Afghanistan since the war began, and 2,352 U.S. military members have died. More than 100,000 Afghan security forces, police and civilians have been killed since 2001.

Sabrina Mattin, 29, of Fairfax County said she and her parents, who fled Afghanistan in 1979, felt a combination of “disbelief and sadness.”

“The entire situation is very upsetting for all of us because that’s

our homeland. That’s the place where my parents grew up, where they got married, where they started their family and where they had to leave their parents behind,” Mattin said in an interview with Prince William Times.

Mattin was born in the United States. Her parents fled Afghanistan just before the Soviet-Afghan war began, and eventually settled in Fair-

Jake and Lisa Zargarpur, of Manassas.

Jake Zargarpur is chairman of the Muslim Association fo Virginia’s board of directors, while Lisa Zargarpur represents the Coles District on the Prince William County School Board. fax County. Her mother has never been able to return to Afghanistan, Mattin said, and now they’ll probably never return in their lifetime.

“They love to talk about the fruit trees and the summertime. It’s just home, you know. And [we’re] getting that stripped away from [us] again,” Mattin said.

Members of the Freedom High School JROTC, marching band and cheerleading squad line up for a first-day-of-school photo with school administrators and teachers.

Students express excitement, nervousness as new year begins FIRST DAY, from page 1 “They’re mostly excited about being able to come back to school,” he said, but also a bit nervous. “I don’t want to get sick,” he added.

Kasey Diggs, a 16-year-old junior, echoed his sentiments. “It’s a little nerve-racking, but it’s nice to be back and out of the house,” she said.

Freedom High School, in Woodbridge, was expecting about 2,100 students – or 97% of those enrolled – to return to school for in-person classes on Monday, according to Principal Inez Bryant.

Like all of the county’s 100 schools, Freedom High required everyone to wear a face-covering – regardless of their vaccination status – unless

they had a documented excuse from a physician or a disability that keeps them from donning a mask. (Parents can also fill out a form requesting an exemption for a “sincerely-held religious belief,” according to the school division website.)

Aside from that, the morning rush into the building seemed fairly normal. Bryant and several teachers greeted students outside the building along with a group of cheerleaders and members of the school’s marching band.

Prince William County opened two new schools on Monday, Aug. 23: Gainesville High School, near Jiffy Lube Live in Gainesville, and Potomac Shores Middle School, in Potomac Shores. But the school divi-

sion waved off requests to visit those schools on the opening day, citing a rush of interest. About 20 local media outlets asked to visit the new schools, said school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta.

“With COVID, we’re trying to limit the visitors,” she explained.

Instead, new Prince William County schools’ Superintendent LaTanya McDade met reporters outside Freedom High School Monday morning along with other local officials, including Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, and Woodbridge School Board Representative Loree Williams. Freedom High, which opened in 2004, was chosen in part to showcase the school division’s diversity, McDade said.

The results of the 2020 Census, released last week, showed Prince William to be both the second-most populous county in Virginia and also one of the most diverse and fastest-growing.

Noting that Freedom High students speak more than 30 languages at home, McDade called the school “a great place to kick off the school year – to highlight the diversity of the county.”

63 COVID-19 cases reported before the first day

McDade also stressed that safety was “top of mind” as students return to school amid a surge of COVID-19 cases across the state driven by the See FIRST DAY, page 7

FIRST DAY, from page 6 more contagious Delta variant. Already, the school division has reported 63 COVID-19 cases among students and staff this month – nearly all of which occurred before the first day of school. More than half required the school division to notify “close contacts” in school buildings because of possible exposures, according to the school division’s COVID-19 dashboard.

The number of cases is higher than the 50 reported in September 2020 but well below the peak of 899 cases logged during the worst of the pandemic in January 2021, when classes were still virtual for all but the youngest grade levels.

On virtual instruction, staff vacancies, late buses

In recent weeks, about 1,500 parents signed a petition asking the school division to allow their children to revert to remote instruction because of the rising COVID-19 cases. The school division has so far largely refused those requests, pointing to a May deadline for opting into virtual learning. Concerned parents counter the school division should be more flexible given the deadline occurred when the pandemic seemed to be waning, and that parents could not have predicted the current Delta-variant-driven surge.

Asked about the petition Monday, McDade said she “absolutely [does] understand” parents’ concerns but stressed that in-person learning “is not only optimal, it is safe.”

McDade further said that staffing issues made a last-minute switch to virtual instruction impossible, as schools might not have had enough teachers for in-person learning had they allowed large numbers of students to go virtual.

“We had to make sure that every learning experience is a quality experience,” she added.

The school division is trying to avoid concurrent instruction this year – where teachers instruct students learning both inside the building and from home.

Virtual instruction is being provided by contractor Proximity Learning for elementary school students. Middle school students learning virtually are being instructed by local middle school teachers who opt to teach an extra class and will be paid extra to do so. High school students are using Virtual Virginia and Virtual Prince William. Virtual high school learners can opt to attend certain classes in person if they are not offered via those programs, according to the school division website.

Regarding staffing, McDade said the school division is “closing the gap” on existing vacancies – more than 200 of which remained last week, Inside Nova reported.

Despite those vacancies, which included about 100 bus-driver positions, “we are ready for the first day of school,” McDade said.

Still, there were reports of late school buses Monday, and the school division posted alerts about transportation delays on its website, asking parents for patience.

Gulotta said the school division had “a limited number of afternoon bus routes that were delayed out of over 600 routes.”

The primary reasons for late buses included last-minute bus route changes; a bus driver shortage; and extra pick-up and drop-off traffic delaying buses at schools, Gulotta said in an email.

“We sincerely apologize to our students and their families for the inconvenience caused by these delays,” she added. “We appreciate everyone’s patience during this first week as some buses may run late while trying to get everyone back into a routine.”

No staff vaccine mandate yet

Unlike school divisions in the city of Alexandria and Arlington and Fairfax counties, Prince William schools are not requiring staff members to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or to submit to regular testing.

But McDade said the vaccine is the “best defense” against COVID-19 and said a mandate for staff members “is worth exploring.”

“There’s been no decision of late, but if things change, we will inform the public,” she said.

McDade also stressed that parents should read the school division’s recently updated FAQs about pandemic protocols, which explain that schools will notify students and staff of COVID-19 cases in their buildings and spell out quarantine rules for students and staff.

If students must quarantine, asynchronous instruction will be provided so they can keep up with their schoolwork from home, the website says.

Bryant, Freedom High School’s principal, said the school would do its best to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by allowing students to eat lunch outside in the courtyard and by positioning staff members in the hallways to keep the traffic flowing.

“We’ll do our best with social distancing,” she added. “But when we’re at 97% capacity, we really can only do the best we can.”

The goal for the day, Bryant said, was to help students and staff reacclimate to the school building – and the school-day routine -- after most spent much of last year learning and working from home.

“This is all new for some of them – especially the ninth and 10th graders.” Bryant said.

Bryant said teachers would be ready to “meet students where they are” and would work with them to address gaps in learning that may have developed during the year of remote learning.

“But that’s nothing new in education,” she added.

As for the students, most seemed focused on a return to normalcy despite the lingering pandemic -- and a few expressed the usual first-day jitters.

“I feel like I’m going to get lost finding my classes,” said Junior Velasquez, a 16-year-old 11th grader.

What was he most looking forward to?

“Seeing my friends and stuff,” he said. “We haven’t seen our friends in the longest.”

Prince William Times | August 26, 2021

GUEST OPINION

My vision of excellence, equity and integrity for Prince William schools Growing up on the southside of Chicago, it was the public education system, and my dedicated teachers, that provided me with hope and put me on a career trajectory that would ultimately change my life. They invested in me. They demanded excellence. They approached all aspects of teaching and learning with integrity. I believe that education is the great equalizer, and now more than ever, we must commit to academic excellence for every student.

As we launch a new school year and welcome children back to classrooms, the excitement of our students, families and staff is palpable. We also know we’re in a time of unique challenges nationwide. The past 18 months have been incredibly trying for all of us, and we know that the pandemic continues. Families are understandably concerned about student health and safety, and this continues to be my top priority as we return 97% of our more than 90,000 students in-person, which is the best place for our children to learn.

While safety is top of mind, we must also reinvigorate our focus on serving students and delivering on their academic and social well-being needs. I will lead this effort grounded in three core beliefs.

First, an excellent school is every child’s fundamental right.

Our classrooms must be rooted in rigorous learning aimed at excellent outcomes. We must strive to be the best version of ourselves every day and work together collaboratively to benefit every student.

Second, I believe that equity is our moral imperative. Every child deserves a fair shot to succeed. As a school system, we must use our talents and focus our resources to achieve just that for every student.

Where there is a lack of access or opportunity, we must deliver it.

Where there are learning gaps, we must close them.

LATANYA D. MCDADE

Third, I believe in integrity. This means being open and honest. It means building trust among all of us -- teachers, school leaders, support staff, families and community. I believe in real engagement and genuine partnership. No matter who we are, where we live, or what language we speak, we all have the same goal: great schools and great outcomes for our children.

While this ongoing pandemic has created obstacles for teaching and learning, we are committed to moving forward. Our plan for recovery, acceleration and re-engagement provides comprehensive academic, social-emotional and mental health support for our students. This approximately $72 million plan is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 that has provided funding to PWCS to address learning loss/unfinished learning.

As I continue to visit schools over the coming weeks, with a goal to visit every school in my first 100 days, I will listen to and work with the entire PWCS community. I want to learn about past successes -- and replicate them. I want to identify growth areas -- and innovate. I want to build a long-term culture of collaboration and partnership.

Together, we will ensure academic progress, and launch thriving futures, for every student.

LaTanya McDade, Ed.D, is the superintendent of Prince William County Schools.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Expand Medigap and help dialysis patients get the care they need I was only 19 years old when I was diagnosed with kidney disease.

Because I was under 65, Medicare didn’t cover the full costs of treatments and medications throughout my 10 tough years on dialysis, and I was forced to make difficult choices between the care I needed and basic needs like groceries.

A new bill, however, the Jack Reynolds Memorial Medigap Expansion Act, would change that by expanding Medigap coverage to dialysis patients under the age of 65. This bipartisan bill would make sure that every dialysis patient gets the healthcare coverage they

need, which is why our leaders, like Congressman Gerry Connolly and Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, must pass the Jack Reynolds Memorial Medigap Expansion Act. I often talk to other young patients who are going through difficult treatments, and I know firsthand the obstacles they face to receiving their care. I don’t want them to have to make the same impossible choices I had to, which is why I’m counting on our elected officials to pass this bill.

MATTHEW SALTZMAN Fairfax

We need a national voting standard Congress needs to pass a simple national voting standard: The right of a citizen to vote and have their vote counted should be absolute, except if a voter is charged/convicted with voter fraud.

Every citizen has the right to vote by provisional ballot. This would allow for same day-registration, lack of proper ID or a challenge made by an election official or poll observer.

The election office should have four days after the election to confirm the voter’s information and cure any issues that emerge and count their ballot or pass their data to law enforcement to conduct an investigation of fraud.

The state should have two weeks to file criminal charges of voter fraud; if this is not done then the vote must be counted. This provides absolute voter access with absolute

security. This is a direct plan that gives both parties what they claim they want.

A registered voter with proper ID will have express voting; if not, they will be directed to the provisional voting line. This reform protects election officials from legal and political intimidation by removing their unilateral authority to prevent voting or throw out any votes.

This review and confirmation procedure should also apply to a questionable absentee ballot. It would ensure a criminal investigation if anything suspicious is found concerning evidence for voter fraud. This would clearly show the objective is stopping voter fraud but not designed for voter suppression or election nullification.

‘Forest bathing’ comes to Leopold’s Preserve Forest bathing: The practice of being fully immersed in nature and using all of your senses to reconnect with the natural world.

suggests that participants take a moment to feel tree bark, listen to birds chirping and watch branches slowly move with the breeze.

“Too much information can get in the way of someone fully experiencing nature through their senses,” Strader said. So she promises to answer nature questions about what people are seeing or identify specific species when the walk is over.

Strader’s goal is for everyone on her forest bathing walks to “slow down, experience their surroundings, and be in the present moment because that is when the healing happens.”

Phones are to be left in the car or silenced on the walks because Strader says that the constant dinging or buzzing can activate fight-or-flight responses, and the point of forest bathing is the opposite: to allow nervous systems to go into rest and digest modes.

Forest bathing is different from hiking because participants are not trying to get anywhere or seek anything; they are just experiencing nature using their senses, body and heart, Strader said.

And to those who ask why a forest bathing guide is necessary, Strader likened the practice to yoga, asking, “Do you do yoga on your own, or do you follow a guide? Same thing.”

Marlene Burke of Centreville attended Strader’s recent forest bathing session and said that she’s always on a mission to get something done so forest bathing “was a great opportunity to unplug and slow down in nature.”

Burke said that Strader’s guidance “opened up her senses and set a procedure that I can follow on my own.”

Strader will be hosting two more forest bathing experiences at Leopold’s Preserve over the next two months: “Mid-Week Reset & Recharge” on Wednesday, Sept. 22, at 4:30 p.m. and “A Sense of Place,” on Sunday, Oct. 24, at 2 p.m.

No prior outdoor experience is required to attend. The forest bathing walks are limited to five participants ages 13 and older.

Everyone is asked to bring water to drink and a camp stool, old yoga mat, or pad for sitting on the ground. Prior registration and payment is required.

Spend too much time in front of your screens? Feeling stressed out?

Just need a break from your everyday routine? The practice of forest bathing may be for you. And yes, everyone stays fully clothed.

Forest bathing is the practice of being fully immersed in nature and using all of your senses to reconnect with the natural world. Forest bathing or “shinrin-yoku” has ancient Asian roots, but the term was coined in Japan in the 1980s to describe nature therapy as healthcare.

In Japan, forest bathing sessions are prescribed as a type of preventative medicine to reduce “technostress” and to promote good physiological and psychological wellness.

The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy says that forest therapy sessions boost immune function, improve cardiovascular and respiratory health and reduce stress and depression. The ANFT trains guides to facilitate forest bathing sessions.

After retiring from her career as an assistant curator of the native plant trail at the State Arboretum of Virginia, Kim Strader, a resident of Front Royal, became an ANFT-certified forest bathing guide. Strader said she discovered forest bathing a few years ago and found it was a perfect fit for her, noting “without realizing it, I have been forest bathing since I was a kid.”

Strader facilitates forest bathing sessions, which are slow-paced walks in nature that combine wandering, relaxation and sitting silently in nature. Strader uses a series of prompts or invitations to inspire attendees to connect with both nature and each other.

In a recent early morning forest therapy session at Leopold’s Preserve in Haymarket, Strader invited participants to sit in a circle on the ground under a grouping of aromatic cedar trees bejeweled by droplets of rain left from the previous night’s showers. Then she asked everyone to close their eyes and imagine that any part of their body that was touching the earth was rooted into the ground. Each person sat quietly with that thought and breathed deeply. Some of the participants shared that when they opened their eyes everything looked “greener” and smelled “fresh.” They said they felt calmer and more relaxed after just a few minutes in the forest.

Strader said that she really enjoys facilitating forest bathing at Leopold’s because “it has a nice mix of habitats, forested areas and open meadows. So whenever you have a diversity of habitats, it will bring a diversity of insects and animals.”

Strader’s forest therapy walks cover only about a mile or so, and she finds places to stop along the way that inspire all five senses. She

2021 CARDINAL DISTRICT FOOTBALL PREVIEW

By Jason S. Rufner Special to the Times

Three of the seven schools in the Cardinal District saw their football teams win more than they lost last spring, while two others nearly pulled off the feat.

They’re back this fall to see if they can improve upon those marks.

Gar-Field is the defending Cardinal champion, continuing a remarkable upward trajectory begun in head coach Tony Keiling’s first season five years ago. But returning talent at Potomac and Hylton could make a Red Wolves repeat a bit more challenging.

We take a look at those teams and more in Prince William Times’ Cardinal District Football Preview:

Readers’ Choice 2021

-Coach: Tony Keiling (5th year) -Last season: 6-1 -Expected contributors: OL/DL Ryan Adams; LB/RB DeAvohn “Debo” Bumbrey; QB Adric Johnson -Web: GarFieldAthletics.org -Twitter: @SchoolGarField -First game: Aug. 27 at North Stafford -Outlook: It’s been quite a rise for the Red Wolves recently. From an 0-10 record in 2017 to an undefeated regular season in the spring of 2021, Gar-Field is a turnaround success story.

“We are pleased with the development of our program, especially the younger players’ development,” said Keiling, who’s upped the program’s winning percentage each year. “Our program rebuild plan is on target to help us reach the next level.”

The Wolves are looking good with seven returners on a powerful defense that allowed more than 14 points just once last season.

All-district first-teamer and 280-pound Ryan Adams is “a destroyer on both sides of the ball,” said Keiling.

Adams is back to anchor the lines, along with fellow all-Cardinal picks cornerback Jalil Singleton, linebacker Kalvon Sanders, and DeAvohn “Debo” Bumbrey, newly moved to mike linebacker.

The defensive back corps is in good hands with senior Deamonte Ferrufino

and junior Elyjah Ghameshlougy.

Seven starters return to Gar-Field’s offense too, led by senior wideout Keon Allen and junior running back Jordan Terry. Singleton and Bumbrey will also carry the ball.

Senior center Amonte Thompson is back to try to repeat as a first-team offensive lineman. He’s flanked by 270-pound senior Byram Smithen.

Keiling must replace his quarterback and the district’s offensive player of the year in Bishop Fitzgerald. He’s looking to junior Adric Johnson for that key job.

“He’ll have a good long ball and the ability to make plays with his feet,” the coach said.

As Keiling seeks to continue building Gar-Field’s program, he’s counting on younger players to develop into future starters.

“Our players need to focus on team goals and push each other to be their very best,” he said.

Potomac Panthers

-Coach: Jajuan Johnson (1st year) -Last season: 4-2 -Expected contributors: QB Pete Woolfrey; RB/FS Shalin Green; RB/S Felix Hammond-Donkoh -Web: PotomacAthletics.net -Twitter: @PotomacFootbal -First game: Aug. 27 vs. Battlefield -Outlook: It’ll be a familiar scene to head coach Jajuan Johnson when he looks out at the gridiron at Potomac Senior High School. Only now he has a new perspective.

“Personally it means a lot to be able to take over at my high school,” said Johnson, who manned a linebacker spot in a Panther uniform before playing collegiately at Shenandoah.

Johnson, who teaches special education at Potomac, has been a football assistant since 2014.

“I’m thankful to be able to coach kids that remind me so much of myself,” he said.

Despite winning four of six games last spring, the Panthers were squeezed out of a postseason appearance.

Johnson looks to return Potomac to

the playoffs behind three-year starting quarterback Pete Woolfrey.

“He’s our leader and has great experience,” Johnson said.

Smooth-running senior back Shalin Green will get the ball plenty, while leading Potomac’s defense from his free safety spot, along with physical safety Felix Hammond-Donkoh.

Three-year starter Elijah Williams is another key two-way contributor and “our emotional leader.”

“I’m measuring success from our communication, grit and effort,” the new coach said. “If we can play strong within those areas I believe we’ll be in position to have a successful season.”

Hylton Bulldogs -Coach: Nate Murphy (2nd year) -Last season: 4-3 -Expected contributors: DB/WR Dylan Wright; OLB Sean Leach Jr.; WR/DB Chase Miller -Web: HyltonHS.PWCS.edu -Twitter: @Hylton_football -First game: Aug. 27 at Patriot -Outlook: In Nate Murphy’s second season, the head coach wants to see his players blend well with each other.

“Our opponents are some of the best teams in the state. We must be united for any chance to be competitive against them,” he said. “[And] competing. We must finish everything we start, from wind sprints to the game and in the classroom.”

Hylton will have abundant experience at skill positions and along the lines, led by two-year starting defensive back Dylan Wright. “Dylan can play corner and safety

Outside linebacker Sean Leach Jr. and his “high football IQ” returns after being the only freshman selected to the all-district team last season. Another sophomore, Collin Hughes, is back as a starting two-way lineman.

Offensively, reliable starting linemen Morgan Marshall and Chans Williams are back, as is junior wideout Chase Miller.

“As Chase goes, the team goes,” Murphy said.

Now Longerbeam brings his three decades of experience to the Vikings.

“We are going to be an effort-based program, we want to create an identity of being tough and physical,” he said.

“Establish an identity and lay the foundation for the future.”

Being tough won’t be a problem for Woodbridge’s leaders along the lines.

Offensive tackle Sterling Wiggins, at 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, is “very physical at the point of attack,” Longerbeam said,

Not only did they endure a shortened season, they failed to win a game for the first time in program history.

“With all the COVID restrictions we want to remember how much fun it is to play this great game,” said Steve Baudendistel, the only head football coach in the school’s short history.

Baudendistel noted that he’s looking for and getting “passionate young men” in the program who “appreciate how lucky they are.”

The coach considers himself lucky to have a senior-laden core of offensive stars led by quarterback Chance Lundy, running back Ziyon Bovain, and wideout Cody Clark. He describes all three as

while 6-2, 250-pound defensive end Kofi Acheampong exhibits a “great motor.”

Junior quarterback Zephy Harris is a “very intelligent player,” and sophomore free safety Ethen Horne is the “quarterback on defense.” He’s flanked by physical cornerback Jesse Muange.

After primarily being a basketball player, senior running back Monte Gabriel is showing “great physical attributes” at 6-1, 215.

“Are we getting better every week?”

Longerbeam said, defining success for the first season of his latest new team.

Welcome Back, “explosive.”

Lundy is a smart leader who can throw and run, the coach said. Bovain doubles as a linebacker, where he was second-team all-district last season.

Junior mike linebacker Andrew Byrd, a Colgan wrestler in the winter, is a “big, strong, physical leader,” while sophomores Tyler Henry and Justin Watkins are emerging stars showing skills at multiple positions.

“Staying positive, having fun, and competing every day are our main focuses,” Baudendistel said. “If we do those things, it will be a great experience for the young men in our program and the wins will come.”

Ask the Arborist

Todd Hagadone Jr.

I.S.A. Certified Arborist Tree Decline The decline of mature trees is typically caused by a combination of factors. The first is usually long term stress caused by drought, improper soil conditions, construction damage to the root system, or mechanical damage to the trunk. These types of problems force the tree to divert energy away from storage or growth toward overcoming the stress. Then a shorter term, more acute problem develops. It may be a defoliating or boring insects, canker disease, root rot, or severe root damage.

A healthy plant can usually overcome these acute problems without severe damage.

However, for a plant that has been defending itself against a chronic problem, any of these factors can accelerate decline. The tree, already low on reserves, must increase energy use to defend against the new problem. This takes energy away from the maintenance of chlorophyll in the leaves and the rejuvenation of the fine root system.

If conditions are not greatly improved at this point, the tree eventually dies. The period of decline may be short or long depending on the tree species, location and factors involved with the decline. Generally, if a tree has more than 35% to 50% crown dieback as a result of any number of stress factors; it cannot be saved, just prolonged.

An accurate diagnosis of factors involved in the decline is the first step toward treatment.

Programs that increase root growth are usually very beneficial, however, even with the best care, trees that have greater than 35% to 50% dieback may not respond to treatment.

John T. Andrews John T. Andrews, 78, passed away on August 11, 2021. He was born on March 11, 1943, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to the late Mary Helene (Hrichison) and John T. Andrews Sr. He was always quick with the “Dad Joke”, (I swear he invented it) and he always wanted to make you smile. He loved and cared about everyone he met, always seeking the best in them. As a Coach and a Father, on the ride home after a game, he would always ask two questions.

1. Did you try your hardest?

2. Did you have fun?

That’s all he cared about, no matter what it was – do your best and have fun. And that’s how he lived his life. Always working hard to provide for his family, and always making sure we had fun.

He would always say “Making Memories!” And those are what will last a lifetime for us. If he ever “picked” on you, he would always give you a sly wink and say, “I only pick on the ones I like.”

One of his last jobs was helping disadvantaged and challenged individuals find employment and encouraging independence. No matter the situation, he always exuded a positive outlook and it showed in the shining results of his efforts. To this day, clients still call excited to share their progress and news with him.

Always working hard. Always having fun. That’s our Dad. In addition to his parents John was preceded in death by his son, Mark Andrews.

He is survived by his loving wife, Kathryn E. (Froning) Andrews; children, Greg Andrews and wife, Andrea, Christine McEntee and husband, James; grandchildren, Morgan & Mason Andrews.

John wanted to help not just people he knew, but anyone. To honor and remember him, we are collecting donations for the Parkinson’s Foundation in the hopes that they can find a cure for Parkinson’s. He wanted other families to be able to enjoy each other just a bit longer — Making Memories.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation at www.johntandrews.com.

Richard “Rich” Paul Milot Richard “Rich” Paul Milot, 64, of Haymarket, Virginia, passed away on August 13, 2021. Rich was born on May 28, 1957, in Coaldale, Pennsylvania, to John and Anita (Theresa) Milot.

Rich grew up in Brockton and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and loved spending time in the beautiful outdoors and getting into mischief. He was an incredible athlete from a young age, and he chose to focus on Football and Track & Field in high school. A force to be reckoned with in Track, he smashed multiple records at Moon Township High School and specialized in the 330-yard intermediate hurdles, but his offensive and defensive football prowess drew attention from NCAA D1 football powerhouses nationally. He was recruited by Joe Paterno and ultimately joined Pennsylvania State University’s football program in 1975 as a running back.

At Penn State, Rich transitioned from running back to the Hero linebacker position during his junior year. He finished his senior year with three interceptions, including one in the 1979 Sugar Bowl versus the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide. He was drafted as a 7th round pick by the Washington Redskins from Penn State in the 1979 draft and is recognized by many as the best seventh-round pick in franchise history.

Rich spent nine years in the NFL with the Washington Redskins as a linebacker, appearing in three Super Bowls and winning two Championships in 1983 and 1988. A key member of the Joe Gibbs era franchise, Rich played in 121 NFL games for the ‘Skins and started in 91 of them after winning the starting job in his rookie year. Rich still holds the club’s post-season record of 3.5 sacks in a game, which he achieved vs. the Bears in 1984. He retired from the Redskins after Super Bowl XXII in the 1987 season.

During the off seasons of his NFL career, Rich worked for the Sandoz pharmaceutical office in Washington, DC. In his role, he worked on the staff of Utah Senator Orrin Hatch where he attended political hearings and met with congressional staff.

Always a good student, Rich put his math skills to work following his retirement from the NFL and worked as a Senior Tax Advisor at H&R Block in Manassas, Virginia.

Rich will be remembered as an incredible father, friend, and significant other. He fiercely loved his two daughters and wanted them to achieve their dreams. Rich was so proud when they both went to the University of Virginia for undergraduate studies. He was their biggest cheerleader at their track & field, cross country, and soccer events in high school and college. He also loved bringing them to Penn State football games to tailgate with his former Nittany Lion teammates.

Rich was humble despite his incredible achievements and had the ability to light up a room with his hilarious jokes and stories.

In addition to spending time with his two daughters, he loved spending time with his girlfriend, her family, and his friends. He adored all animals, especially his two dogs, who he could be seen driving around Haymarket daily. Rich enjoyed golf, debates (especially about politics), meticulously maintaining his lawn, McDonald’s Diet Cokes, and the occasional Dewar’s with friends.

Rich is survived by his children, Kristin and Courtney Milot; life partner Kimberly Lincoln and her children Stephen and Brooke Lincoln; and brothers Ronald Milot (wife, Lori) and John Milot (wife, Patricia).

He was pre-deceased by his mother, Theresa Milot, and father, John Milot.

A celebration of life will be held for Rich on Thursday, August 26, 2021, from 4:00-6:00 PM ET at Stonewall Golf Club, 15601 Turtle Point Dr, Gainesville, Virginia, 20155. Rich’s family warmly encourages all attending to wear Penn State and Redskins colors in celebration of his football career.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in loving memory of Richard “Rich” Milot by mail to ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105 or online at stjude.org or https://www.stjude.org/donate/donateto-st-jude.html?sc_icid=wtg-mm-btn-donate-now Condolences may be sent to www.piercefh.com
