Early voting draws a crowd By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

A long line of voters snaked around the back of the Woodbridge DMV Friday even before the doors opened at 8:30 a.m. By the end of the day, more than 2,000 votes had been cast at three locations across the county a full 45 days before Election Day. Schelley Hall, of Woodbridge, was at the front of the line. He said he arrived at the DMV at 6:30 a.m. because he was determined to cast his vote for former vice president Joe Biden as soon as possible. “I didn’t want to take any chances of not getting my vote in today,” Hall said. “The country’s become so divisive. We need someone with more heart and more gentleness in how they go about the business of the country. We need someone with empathy, and we don’t have that right now.” While Hall might have been the first in line, he wasn’t alone in expressing an urgency to vote

Jail won’t notify ICE on misdemeanor arrests By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Friday, Sept. 18, the first day of early voting in Virginia for the Nov. 3 election. Polling places were crowded across the county as well as Northern Virginia, election officials said.

The Prince William-Manassas Regional Jail will no longer notify U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement about the release of people detained at the jail for misdemeanors but will hold those charged with felonies for up to two hours past their release times if immigration officials have lodged detainers against them. That was the compromise the jail board devised Wednesday when its members voted unanimously to direct jail staff to stop notifying ICE of the release of inmates charged with low level crimes.

Prince William County schools remain on track to allow students to attend school in person starting Nov. 10, but there will be challenges -- including the “likelihood” of COVID-19 cases among students and staff, Superintendent Superintendent Steven Walts Steven Walts said last week. As of Wednesday, Sept. 16, 17 students and staff were home quarantining as a result of COVID-19 cases among staff, Walts said. “Should COVID remain at current or increased levels, there is the likelihood that positive cases may occur within schools, and that may require staff and students to quarantine,” Walts said during the school board’s Sept. 16 meeting. “In just the past week, we now have six students and 11 staff members in two-week quarantine.”

VOTING, from page 1 In Fairfax County, which opened only one early voting location, people waited three to four hours to cast their ballots, according to Matt Wilson, spokesman for the Prince William Office of Elections. But they stayed in line, Wilson said, just as they did at Prince William County’s three early voting spots: the Woodbridge DMV, the county’s Office of Elections in Manassas and at the Haymarket-Gainesville Community Library. At the office of elections, voters were lined up outside the door by 7 a.m., Wilson said. To deal with the crowd at the Woodbridge DMV, election officials called in police officers to direct traffic and sealed off part of the parking lot to set up a theme-park-style queue with yellow rope and plastic posts. By about 11 a.m., things were flowing smoothly, with wait times reduced from more than an hour to about 30 minutes. The situation was similar in Manassas, where the line had mostly dissipated by noon on Friday. Still, there was a “steady flow” of voters throughout the day, Wilson said. Like many voters in line Friday morning, Hall expressed strong feelings about his choice in the presidential race. Hall said he’s concerned about President Donald Trump’s handling of everything from the coronavirus pandemic to the Black Lives Matter protests and the economy. Hall said he recently lost a cousin to COVID-19 and has had other relatives hospitalized because of it. “I’m voting for someone who I don’t think will be as deceitful as the person we’re dealing with right now; someone who recognizes science for what it is, as opposed to thinking they know more than the scientists, which is absurd,” Hall added.

Tara McKight, of Woodbridge, also waited about two hours to cast her ballot. She said she was there to vote for change. “The change has to happen, for sure. So I want to make sure I get my vote in,” she said. “I don’t have any eloquent words for it. My motivation is for him to go away,” she said of the president. But Democrats weren’t the only voters at the polls Friday. The opportunity to vote early also drew fans of President Trump’s. They included Jean and Walt Seiberling, of Occoquan, who said they arrived at 7:30 a.m. to cast their votes for the president. Jean said Trump “has done fantastic.” Her husband agreed. “He’s been doing a good job handling the whole COVID plague, and then the economy, keeping that on track and managing multiple aspects of the country, while being attacked,” said Walt Seiberling, 73. The Seiberlings agreed the pandemic’s death toll has been “tragic” but gave Trump administration credit for “doing everything they can to mitigate that.” “He took action early on and brought industry in to help with ventilators and the masks. And the [process to develop a] vaccination has started early,” Walt Seiberling added. For the first time this year, Virginians do not have to have an excuse to cast an in-person, absentee ballot. That was part of several recent changes Virginia lawmakers have made to the election process and likely a big reason for the crowds on Friday, said Keith Scarborough, secretary of the Prince William Board of Elections. Scarborough said Virginia is now “one of the most progressive states” when it comes to voting. Election officials are also encouraging voters to

State board narrowly OKs new juvenile detention center By Daniel Berti

“To be blunt, this is like putting lipstick on a pig.”

Times Staff Writer

The Virginia Board of Juvenile Justice narrowly approved a program design and planning study for a new Prince William County juvenile detention center after an hour of debate about whether the county needs a new detention center. The eight-member board, which is appointed by the governor, voted 3-2, with three members absent, on Wednesday, Sept. 16, to move the project forward. The board’s approval allows the county to seek state funding to cover up to 50% of the cost of the project, which is estimated between $39 and $46 million. But it’s not a done deal. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors will have the final say on whether the new facility will move forward. The supervisors voted in July to allow county staff to present the new facility to the state board. It’s not yet known when the matter will come up for another vote. The proposed new juvenile detention center is intended to replace the existing detention center, built in 1972, but will reduce the number of youth jail beds in the county from 72 to 48. The new facility will be built using a “trauma-informed” design that includes “connections to nature, natural light and views to the outdoors,” as well as a “selection of colors and patterns that are visually appealing and calming,” according to a presentation to the board from Prince William County Social Services Director Courtney Tierney. Several state board members expressed concerns about the need for the new facility in Prince William County. Board member Greg Underwood, the commonwealth’s attorney for Norfolk City, voted against it. Underwood said that one of his main concerns is the “proportionality” of the youth held at the jail. About 80% of the youth held at the Prince William juvenile detention center are either Black or Hispanic, according to a county report. “Couldn’t the money being spent on the facility be better spent addressing reform issues like systemic racism?” Underwood said. Underwood also raised concerns about the new “trauma-informed” design. He said it is clear that the new facility would be “pretty” and “pleasant to work at,” but added: “You’re still going to have kids incarcerated.” “To be blunt, this is like putting lipstick on a pig. You want to make a nicer facility, aesthetically pleasing to the eye … but you’re still going to have the same population,” Underwood said. “In my opinion, the money can be better spent addressing societal issues instead of building another jail.” DJJ board member Scott Kizner, superintendent of Stafford County Public Schools, also raised concerns about whether the project is

Prince William officials hope to replace the county’s existing juvenile detention center, which has what they call “jail-like” cells (left), with a new, $39 to $46 million facility geared toward counseling, education and rehabilitation as depicted in this rendering of the proposed center (right). necessary. Kizner voted against approving the design. “I’m having a pretty hard time connecting a facility that we’re calling … trauma-informed, but we’re putting kids in a facility that, just by being there, is traumatic,” Kizner said. “... I’m really uncomfortable that I feel like it’s a marketing strategy that we’re calling it a trauma-informed-care facility.” Kizner said that he had “real reservations” about whether a new detention center is “really going to benefit the children of Prince William County, or any community, where the money could be spent on preventative care.” “There’s a lot of millions of dollars that I can see going somewhere else,” Kizner said. Ian Sansoni, deputy director of the Prince William County Juvenile Detention Center, said the county does not want to “build a new facility just for the sake of building beds.” Sansoni added that the county is flexible regarding how many beds they will ultimately choose for the design. “We want to build a new facility that aligns with the services we are endeavoring to provide,” Sansoni said. “If that means a 20-bed facility and reducing the size and increasing detention alternatives, then that will be our responsibility as a local department … [to make] that recommendation to our local elected officials.” Sansoni added that while the current facility is licensed for 72 beds, the new facility is expected to have only 48. Currently, only about 20 beds at the existing facility are utilized at any given time, he said. “Our average daily population has been declining and is in the low 20s,” Sansoni said. “The proposed facility is for 48, but I do not foresee that we would fill the facility at that capacity.” Sansoni added that county staff are seeking input from the community and local criminal justice stakeholders. He said the county staff’s role is “to listen and learn and also to provide a recommendation of how we, as a professional facility, can provide the best care.” Board member Tyren Frazier, executive director of the Chesterfield Education Foundation, voted in favor of the project. But Frazier questioned the number of beds needed for the facility.

“To me it doesn’t make sense to have a 48-bed facility if you’re going to have less than half that population. That’s like a waste of funding for me,” Frazier said. Tierney said that the demand for youth detention “is going down.” But she added that the county doesn’t expect that the courts “will completely stop detaining youth.” “So, if they’re going to detain youth, we would prefer that those youth be detained in a facility that is trauma-informed. So that they can get the best care that they deserve,” Tierney said. Tierney said that the county is “very concerned” about the racial disparities in the population of youth detainees but added that juvenile detention center doesn’t determine which youth are sent to the juvenile detention center. “We will make sure that our court is involved in discussing racial disparities... That’s something we’re very concerned about,” Tierney said. Board member Dana Schrad, executive director of the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, voted in favor of the design of the new facility. But Schrad said the board needs to be “acutely aware … of where we are in the area of criminal justice reform.” “We’re looking at a facility that may go online by 2024. It’s a little overwhelming to think about what we might be doing in terms of changes of laws, imposition of new standards for our facilities, and just exactly how much we beef up diversion programs,” Schrad said. “... We’re looking forward to a very different world in terms of our public policy around detaining youth.”

Opponents cite racial disparities, call for investing in rehabilitation

Four Prince William County residents spoke against the new juvenile detention center during public comment time. Emily Crego, of Woodbridge, said she is concerned about the incarceration rates for Black and Hispanic youth in the county. “We learned that 80% of the youth incarcerated in the JDC are Black or Latinx. And we have to pause,” Crego said. “This is a massive investment for our county and a new carceral facility. It is a jail. It is a jail for our youth. And most of the youth that will live there will be of color.” Crego said she believes the county had not done enough to “address these inequities before requesting the funds and approval for a new facility.” See DETENTION, page 4

County mulls new rules for ‘domestic fowl’

Plan could add 3,900 acres to areas where chickens, turkeys, ducks, emus can be kept By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

The Prince William County Planning Commission is considering adding 3,900 acres to the county’s existing domestic fowl overlay district, an area where residents can keep chickens and other domestic birds on their properties. Homeowners within the district are allowed a certain number of “bird units” based on the acreage of their property. Those units can be broken down in different ways.

One “bird unit” allows a homeowner to have up to 10 chickens, which is equivalent to 20 pigeons, six ducks, four turkeys or one ostrich. The domestic fowl overlay district was created in 2011 and covers almost all of the semi-rural residential and agricultural zoned areas of the county. The expansion will add the last remaining semi-rural residential areas into the district in the Coles and Occoquan districts. The proposal will add 1,811 acres

to the overlay district in the Bacon Race area off of Davis Ford Road in the Occoquan district. According to county staff, they are the only properties in the Davis Ford Road area that are not part of the overlay district. At a planning commission work session on Sept. 2, county staff said that several property owners in the area have asked to be allowed to keep domestic fowl on their properties. Several properties are “illegally keeping domestic fowl” in that area

already, county staff said. The proposal will also add 2,800 acres to the overlay district in the Coles District off Hoadly Road behind the county landfill. It will remove about 70 acres of the overlay district from the Gainesville and Brentsville districts that are not eligible to keep domestic fowl even though they are within the overlay district. The proposal will impact a total of 1,864 parcels in the county. See FOWL, page 6

ICE, from page 1 The decision to hold inmates charged with felonies who have ICE detainers for up two hours past their release times was approved in a 5-2 vote, with two abstentions. The new policies come in the wake of the end of the jail’s 287(g) agreement with ICE. The jail board unanimously agreed not to renew the agreement in June. The agreement, in place for more than a decade, allowed the jail to deputize several of its jail officers as ICE agents, giving them access to ICE databases to check the status of undocumented inmates. The 287(g) program also allowed the jail to hold inmates with ICE detainers for up to two days past their release date so that ICE personnel could pick them up and transfer them to an ICE holding facility upon release. Culpeper County is the only locality in Virginia that currently holds a 287(g) agreement with ICE. Law enforcement officers serving on the jail board were hesitant to support the motion to stop informing ICE about the release of people convicted of misdemeanor crimes, but some board members and immigration advocates say the new policy is a major step forward in improving relationships between the Hispanic community and local law enforcement after 287(g). Jail board alternate Raul Torres, who also serves as the director of the county’s human rights office, introduced the motion. Torres said the new policy is “step in the right direction.” “I think it will be important for the

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | September 23, 2020

Hispanic community and immigrant community to know what the situation going forward will be. And I think that will help gain trust in law enforcement from the community,” Torres said. In 2020, 74% of ICE detainers were placed on inmates charged with misdemeanors. Ahead of the vote, jail staff provided the jail board with data regarding the types of crimes committed by inmates with ICE detainers. In fiscal year 2020, of the 578 inmates subject to ICE detainers, 428, or 74%, were for misdemeanors. The types of misdemeanor charges listed for those with ICE detainers included driving without a license, drunk driving, simple assault and assault on a family member. “I think that now, if you commit a misdemeanor and you are undocumented … you will be accountable to the local law. At the same time, you will not be turned over to ICE. That is significant because that means that for those type of offenses, families will not be separated,” Torres said. The board unanimously supported the change, but Torres said that “it was not an easy vote in the sense that all law enforcement personnel [on the jail board] were wrestling with it.” Luis Oyola, a community organizer at Legal Aid Justice Center, said the jail board is “taking another good step by ending most notifications to ICE.” “Reimagining public safety means rethinking relationships with ICE,” Oyola said. “While the vote to honor detainers for two hours is concerning, it’s encouraging that

the [jail] board is still considering changes after ending 287g.” Prince William County acting Police Chief Jarad Phelps, Manassas City Police Chief Doug Keen and jail board Chair Sheriff Glen Hill all voted in favor of holding inmates with detainers who are charged with felonies for up to two hours past their release date. Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, and Torres abstained from the vote. Torres said that he disagreed with the policy but abstained from voting as part of the compromise with law enforcement on the board. Prince William County Chief Public Defender Tracey Lenox also voted against the measure. Lenox said that she was concerned that holding inmates past their release times could subject the jail to a potential lawsuit. The jail was sued for this very reason in July, but the lawsuit was dropped within a few weeks. Virginia’s Attorney General Mark Herring (D) has issued legal opinions in 2015 and 2019 arguing that local officials do not have the legal authority to hold inmates beyond their release times or dates. Jail staff during the meeting said that “the legal strength of the [ICE] detainer for holding someone after bond is made,” according to Herring’s legal opinion, “was not sufficient unless there was a 287(g) program.” But that was an attorney general’s opinion, a jail staff member said, and “if the court were to take up the matter, that would take precedent over the attorney general’s opinion.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

DETENTION, from page 3 “The fact that this facility will have selected color palettes that are calming doesn’t really get at the issue. In fact, it’s an insult to our communities and our youth in trouble to think that a fancy new facility will result in systemic and social change,” Crego said. Lubna Azmi, a 2019 graduate of what is now Unity Reed High School, said she had many friends who’d been caught up in the school-to-prison pipeline while growing up in Prince William County. Azmi, who now attends Johns Hopkins University, said they might have had different outcomes if more resources were available to them. “We need to create plans divest from youth detention centers and invest in rehabilitation for our community that would prevent the harm in the first place,” Azmi said. “... I’ve seen so many amazing people fall victim to this system. Instead of investing in the prison-industrial complex, and instead of investing in this new facility, we need to invest the proposed funds for this center into preventative support.” Aida Campos, also a graduate of Prince William County schools, said members of the Prince William community are “watching closely” to see whether the board would “support a cause that will only lead to more harm, or if you will decide to nurture our youth.” “This community is asking this board to invest in children’s lives, in youth lives,” Campos said.

SUPERINTENDENT, from page 1 It was the first time Walts publicly discussed COVID-19 cases at Prince William County schools since the new school year began Sept. 8. It was also the first time the superintendent shared some of the challenges the school division faces as administrators prepare for large numbers of students to return for in-school instruction. Walts noted that maintaining the status quo – virtual instruction for most of the county’s 90,000 students – could be done “easily,” while switching to the planned “50% model” in November will pose significant logistical challenges. Walts further asked the school board to let him know “as soon as possible” if they want to deviate from the 50% plan, which would allow students to return to school at least two days a week.

COVID-19 cases

So far, principals at five Prince William County schools -- Belmont Elementary, Chris Yung Elementary, Benton Middle, Woodbridge Senior High School and Patriot High School – have sent letters home to families informing them of positive COVID-19 cases among staff members. The letters, dated Sept. 7 to Sept. 16, said the staff members who tested positive and any “close contacts” at the schools are quarantining at home for two weeks. The letters, which school division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta shared with The Prince William Times, said only that staff members had tested positive and were quarantining at home – not students. Walts, however, said six students are currently on quarantine. Gulotta said the small number of students attending school in person prevents schools from disclosing students’ status because of privacy concerns. Of the cases mentioned in the letters, those at Belmont Elementary, Benton Middle and Woodbridge Senior High School did not involve classroom teachers, the principals said. Walts noted that the chance for positive COVID-19 cases when students return to school could be uneven across the county, “as infection rates vary greatly by ZIP Code.” The school board voted back in July to begin the school year with mostly virtual instruction for the school division’s approximately 90,000 students. Only about 1,200 special education students and those learning English who have had significant breaks in their schooling are attending school in person during the first semester. The school board also decided in July to transition to a 50% model after the first quarter, which ends Oct. 30. Under the 50% model, students may choose to return to school two days a week -- ei-

ther on Tuesdays and Thursdays or Wednesdays and Fridays -- while receiving virtual instruction the remaining three days a week. Mondays would be virtual for all students. Walts also mentioned for the first time Sept. 15 that the school board could choose a phased approach to in-person instruction that would begin only with students in kindergarten through third grade, instead of bringing all students back at the same time. During his remarks, Walts said school board members and parents should know that returning to school via a 50% model would also entail: Shifting the high school start time back to 7:30 a.m.: Virtual instruction has meant a later start time for Prince William County high school students. The day officially begins at 8:30 a.m. instead of 7:30 a.m. If the school board follows through with the 50% model, high schoolers will revert to the 7:30 a.m. start time, presumably to accommodate busing schedules. 3-foot social distancing, not 6: Under the 50% model, the student body at each school would be split in half, allowing 50% of students in the building on any given day. The enrollment at most Prince William County schools allows for only 3 feet of distance between students and desks with 50% of students in the building. A Nov. 10 start: The second quarter begins Monday, Nov. 2. But the Nov. 3 presidential election – and the need to thoroughly clean school buildings operating as polling places – will push

FOWL, from page 3 The expansion would not mean that all homeowners added to the district would automatically be allowed to keep domestic fowl. A special use permit is required for any property that is zoned semi-rural residential, and homeowners associations can choose not to allow domestic fowl in their neighborhoods. However, any property zoned agricultural that is under 10 acres and located within the domestic fowl overlay district would be allowed to keep domestic fowl by right under the proposal. All properties zoned agricultural that are over 10 acres can keep domestic fowl by right. The planning commission discussed the plan on Wednesday, Sept. 16, and decided to defer their vote until their Nov. 4 meeting to allow more time to refine the plan and notify community members and local agricultural leaders of the proposed changes.

the start of in-person instruction to Tuesday, Nov. 10. Teachers would be allowed in the building on Thursday, Nov. 5, to begin readying their classrooms. Since students would not attend school on Mondays, the first day of school would be Tuesday, Nov. 10. The following day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, is a school holiday for Veterans Day, Walts noted. Staffing impacts: Under the 50% model, teachers will be assigned to teach students both in-person and virtually, Walts said. “While we believe we can meet the staffing needs, there may be increased staffing impacts if staff must return in person, as staff may change plans based on childcare, health or other concerns,” Walts said. “Low” community spread, despite dozens of new cases daily: Northern Virginia is currently considered to have “low” community spread of COVID-19, Walts said, citing the most recent data from the Prince William Health District. Still, Prince William County and Loudoun County have the highest percent-positivity rates on COVID-19 tests in Northern Virginia – at 8.3% on Wednesday -- and the county continues to report dozens of new COVID-19 cases each day. Also, eight more COVID-19 deaths were reported in the Prince William County this week, bringing the local death toll since the start of the pandemic to 231. “Despite these enormous challenges, our staff is already hard at work and I have every confidence [that] just as they rose to the challenge to meet the first day of the new year, they will do it again,” Walts said. School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef (At Large) said during the meeting that parents should listen to Walts’ remarks about in-person instruction and check for updates on the school division website. In an interview after the meeting, Lateef said the school board “remains optimistic” that the school division will transition to the 50% model in November but will continue to monitor any changes in local health metrics as well as Walts’ guidance over the next few weeks. “If things on the ground change, Dr. Walts will advise the board of the best options,” Lateef said. The school board has two meetings scheduled before the second quarter begins. The board will meet on Oct. 7 and Oct. 21. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

State won’t release details on COVID-19 school outbreaks By Kate Masters Virginia Mercury

The majority of Virginia’s local school districts started the year remotely. But as divisions across the state weigh a return to in-person learning over the next few weeks, the Virginia Department of Health is still providing limited information on COVID-19 cases linked to K-12 schools. At a news conference Tuesday, Sept. 15, Health Commissioner Dr. Norman Oliver said the department had no plans to launch a dashboard with site-specific data on school outbreaks — similar to the state’s data on nursing homes and assisted living centers, which since June, has identified the names of facilities with outbreaks of disease. “We will certainly keep track of those outbreaks,” Oliver added, referring to multiple cases at K-12 schools. “I believe we can provide aggregate information, and depending on the nature of those outbreaks, may find the need to release information about specific outbreaks. But at this point, that’s about all I can say.” VDH does classify outbreaks on its public COVID-19 dashboard broadly by location, including correctional facilities and “educational setting.” As of Tuesday, Sept. 15, the department listed a total of 70 out-

Virginia Health Commissioner Dr. Norm Oliver speaks during a recent press conference. breaks in educational settings, but there’s no further breakdown of whether those cases occurred in preschools, K-12 schools, or the state’s colleges and universities, which have cumulatively been linked to more than a thousand cases. In July, VDH refused to provide a more detailed tally of which types of educational settings have experienced outbreaks. The state’s Department of Education also doesn’t track cases or outbreaks at individual schools, according to the agency’s

spokesman, Charles Pyle. “No, we are not trying to duplicate the Virginia Department of Health’s surveillance system” he said in a Sept. 15 phone call. VDOE guidance recommends that schools inform parents, teachers and staff of a laboratory-confirmed case, and they “should be kept apprised of developing situations in which more cases are found and more stringent measures are planned in the school to prevent disease,” Pyle added in a later email. But currently, there’s

no system — or requirement — to make the information widely available to the public. Currently, 68 divisions across the state have started the school year remotely, and 64 have at least some in-person instruction in place. Only 10 have fully resumed face-to-face classes. Returning to in-person instruction has been a significant concern to families and educators since Gov. Ralph Northam unveiled his phased reopening guidance for K-12 schools in June. Teachers have previously told the Mercury that reports of cases are frequently circulated on social media, where some educators have discussed creating new wills or developing advance directives in case they’re hospitalized for COVID-19. The state’s General Assembly has considered several pieces of legislation related to COVID-19 in schools, though the future of many is still unclear. A Senate committee already killed one bill that would mandate registered nurses in all elementary, middle and high schools. Another Senate committee tabled a bill that would make it easier for school employees to claim worker’s compensation benefits, citing a potentially “massive cost,” but a similar version of the legislation passed 61-37 in the House.

POLICE BRIEFS Police: Mailman shot, seriously wounded, in Dale City

A U.S. Postal Service employee was shot and seriously wounded Monday, Sept. 14, as he delivered mail in a Dale City community, according to Prince William County police. The mail carrier, a 28-year-old man, was shot in the lower body by an unknown man who fled the area before police arrived. The shooting occurred at 4:49 p.m. in the 3500 block of Buffalo Court, in a community of townhomes off Forestdale Drive in Dale City, according to Officer Adam Beard, a Prince William County police spokesman. The suspect fled the scene prior to police arriving. Officers rendered firs aid to the victim before he was flown to an area hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, Beard said in a news release. A police department K-9 unit and helicopter with Fairfax County Police responded to search the for the suspect who was not located. Inspectors from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service also responded to the scene. The investigation continues, Beard said. Police are looking for a Black man, between 20 to 30 years old, who is about 6 feet tall with a medium build. The suspect was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, black pants, no shoes, and a blue surgical mask, the release said.

Suspect in Woodbridge shooting turns himself into police

A Stafford man wanted in connection with a Sept. 12 shooting in Woodbridge has turned himself in to police and was arrested without incident, according to Prince William County police. Daniel Amankwah Gyasi, 30, of Stafford, was arrested on Wednesday, Sept. 16, in connection with an altercation and shooting that occurred at 1:58 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, in the 2800 block of Bowes Lane in Woodbridge. During the encounter, a man brandished a firearm and shot the victim, identified as a 48-year-old man. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, according to Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman for Prince William County police. Gyasi was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, Nov. 12. Police are still searching for a suspect in a second shooting on Saturday, Sept. 12. In that incident, reported to police at 2:54 p.m., officers found a 35-year-old man suffering from gunshot injuries in the 16500 block of Sherwood Place in Woodbridge. The incident does not appear to be random, the release said.

Prince William Times | September 23, 2020

Remembering Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death on Friday, Sept. 18, was mourned across the country this week as well as here in Prince William County. Lawmakers, leaders and everyday residents reflected on her legacy, calling her a role model, a trailblazer, a pioneer and a legal giant, despite her quiet voice and diminutive stature. Ginsburg died from complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer. She was 87. Ginsburg’s fight for gender equality changed a Virginia college’s admissions process in 1996 when she wrote the majority opinion that allowed women to attend the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington. VMI was the last male-only college in the U.S. until the Supreme Court’s ruling. In her majority opinion in that case, Ginsburg wrote that since a 1971, the court “has repeatedly

recognized” laws incompatible with the equal protection principle, which “denies to women, simply because they are women, full citizenship stature — equal opportunity to aspire, achieve, participate in and contribute to society based on their individual talents and capacities.” Ginsburg was also a longtime advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment, which Virginia lawmakers finally approved earlier this year, making the commonwealth the 38th state to do so. Now in legal limbo, the ERA waits for a new generation to pick up its cause. In tributes released after her death, Ginsburg was remembered for her devotion to equality for both men and women; for proving that women – even wives and mothers of young children – can achieve professional success; and for her tireless devotion to making the United States more just.

“Standing at 5’1, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a legal giant and a one woman revolution. Like so many others in this country, Ruth Bader Ginsburg changed my life forever. It wasn’t until she led the Supreme Court in allowing women to enroll in the Virginia Military Institute that I had the opportunity to realize my dream of attending the school. When she explained her decision, and her belief that women can do all things if given the opportunity, it was like she was speaking directly to me, a young woman who few people thought could succeed. She inspired me to serve my country, and ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia. Justice Ginsburg, thank you for all of the protections you fought for that so many of us take for granted. Thank you for breaking down barriers. Thank you for being a warrior in the battle for women’s equality. Thank you for inspiring me, and showing me that this girl from Petersburg could grow up to be anything I wanted to be. We will fight on with you forever in our hearts.”

“Justice Ginsburg’s legacy will forever be remembered as a public servant to our nation, devoting her life to justice. While Justice Ginsburg and I were at different ends of the political spectrum, dedication to the United States and the defense of the Constitution is a virtue that knows no single party. Her example alone has led so many women to enter our courts, our law firms, and our schools. For that, our nation should be forever grateful.”

DEL. JENNIFER CARROLL FOY, D-2ND

GOV. RALPH NORTHAM

REP. ROB WITTMAN, R-1ST

“It is with the deepest sadness that Pam and I mourn the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a giant on the court, a brilliant legal mind, and an unwavering beacon in the fight for equal justice and gender equity. Justice Ginsburg’s eloquence and passion made the world better and fairer—that includes ensuring my alma mater, the Virginia Military Institute, admitted women as cadets. Her loss leaves a tremendous void on the court and in this country. May her legacy in the pursuit of justice live on, and may her memory be a blessing.”

“Regardless of one’s ideological perspective, it is hard to imagine anyone who matched Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s grit, determination and passion for the causes for which she was willing to fight. We should never fail to admire her sincere and never-ceasing belief that even when a challenge seemed so formidable that no one individual could change the outcome, she would be that one person who could hold up the heavens when no one else was willing to try. Justice Ginsburg will be remembered as one of the great minds who never failed to believe that we can do better. Our country is a more just place because of her service, and for that we should all be eternally grateful.” MARTY NOHE Former Prince William County supervisor

“Our nation has lost a giant. Thank you, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG), for your life of fighting for our most vulnerable and championing true equality for all. History will remember you as a trailblazer and a voice for liberty and equality.” U.S. SEN. MARK WARNER D-VA

“As a woman who studied and practiced law, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a ‘shero’. I, along with so many others, admired Justice Ginsburg because of her devotion to fighting for a cause that was greater than just herself. The impact she had on our society and our system of justice will live on for generations to come. Words cannot truly do justice for this loss that so many of us feel so personally.” REP. JENNIFER WEXTON, D-10TH

“Thank you, RBG, for your life of fighting for our most vulnerable, for championing true equality for all, for your resiliency, and for inspiring countless women and girls to stand up and take charge.” DEL. DANICA ROEM, D-13TH

“My deepest condolences to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s family and friends as we mourn her loss together. Her commitment to equity and gender equality changed our country for the better. On the Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg was our firewall to protect civil rights, voting rights and everything that we fight for.” DEL. HALA AYALA, D-51ST

Now more than ever, local farms offer safe, delicious outings for families By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Autumn. Many consider it the finest of seasons. Even folks who don’t usually venture out to the countryside are tempted to take to the highways and byways during September and October. Today the urge has increased.

Yes, the apples, pumpkins, cider and flowers are still a lure. But toss in blue skies, cool temperatures and colorful fall foliage, and the urge becomes even stronger. Now layer those attractions over a lockdown lifestyle that’s just beginning to ease up, and a day trip to a farm is de rigueur. This summer’s weather has been

Prince William Times | September 23, 2020

less than hospitable to the land’s stewards. It’s been a challenge for the American Gothic folks who till the land. Nonetheless, farmers persevere. “Yes, we’ve had challenges this year. First, it was spring frosts, then dry weather, and now it’s wet, but that’s called farming,” said Jimmy Messick, who along with his brother, Ronnie, co-own Messick’s Farm Market in Bealeton. Notwithstanding nature’s forces, his strawberry season was a success. Tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant and a variety of other vegetables rounded out summer’s cornucopia. Now with the brisk fall weather come flowers and pumpkins. The market also carries local artisanal goods like handmade pasta, pastured meats and skin care products. There is a made-to-order deli counter for those who come hungry for sandwiches and prepared salads and an ice cream stand. Supporting small farmers is a worthwhile cause. In 1920, there were more than 6 million farms scattered from sea to shining sea. Today, 2 million are left. And while that number is stabilizing, it’s the big boys increasingly plowing the earth, not mom and dad. One of the small farms is Green Truck Farm in Markham that has plenty of pumpkins and winter

squash for sale. Valley View Farm is located in Delaplane. The farm encompasses 500 acres in the scenic Delaplane Valley off U.S. 17. “My great-grandfather purchased the land for my grandfather back in the 1920s. He operated a beef and horse farm and rode in the Cobbler Hunt with George Patton of World War II fame,” said Philip Carter Strother. Today, the modest peach orchard has been expanded to include agricultural products, including fruit, vegetables, social lubricants, family activities and more. To visit the farm is to take a threehour graduate course in farming. “When guests come out to Valley View, they’re going to get a hands-on farming experience,” explains Strother. The operation embodies the best of what is known as agritourism. Amber King manages the farm market. “We have an apple orchard with five different varieties of pickyour-own apples. The sizes are a half-pack, pack, and half-bushel, costing $8, $15, and $23.” Pre-picked apples are also available. Some fresh produce is still for sale, including tomatoes, potatoes, and cantaloupe, fresh eggs, flowers, honey products. Cider, wine and mead tastings make for a pleasant after-picking experience.

Barking Rose Brewing Company + Farm celebrates first year Lorton brewery finds a new home in Fauquier County By John Hagarty

Special to the Fauquier Times

In a perfect world, the first anniversary of a successful business calls for a big party. But the realist in all of us knows it’s not a perfect world. What is perfect is an opportunity to relax and taste a variety of hand-crafted beers at a safe indoor and outdoor venue with an expert guiding your taste buds. During September and October, Barking Rose Brewing Company is welcoming guests to its 11-acre open and forested setting to join the celebration. It’s a 4,000-square-foot modern brew operation and taproom, with a variety of beers, many centered on Belgian ales and German lagers. The scene of the party is 9057 Old Culpeper Road, a few miles south of Warrenton off U.S. 29. “I was living in Alexandria when I opened my first brewery in Lorton eight years ago,” said owner-operator Matt Rose. “The only reason I opened a brewery is I simply wanted to make beer. I didn’t want to be an owner per se. “About four years ago, I moved to Warrenton. But the daily commute to Lorton got to be too much.” So, a year ago, Rose, 36, relocated his Lorton operation to Fauquier County, changed its name, and began pulling tap handles far from the

crowed Northern Virginia scene. There is a word that often drives a significant shift in careers: passion. In Rose’s case, it’s a passion gone wild. He graduated from Virginia Tech in 2005 with a degree in aerospace engineering and worked for NASA for almost a decade. But brewing was his first love. “Don’t get me wrong,” said Rose. “I still love satellites and space stuff. I’m a complete geek about it. But the higher up you go in the industry, the less actual aerospace work you do. It’s important work but it’s not what I liked as much.” The brewery’s intriguing name is a blend of his last name and his wife’s maiden name of Barker. He suggested the brand Barking Rose to his wife, Ashley, who at first demurred. But upon reflection, she said, “I like it.” His wife is a second lieutenant with the Fairfax County Police Department. The logo for the suds factory is a red rose with an embedded hop flower.

Beer styles

As both an amateur and professional brewer, Rose developed a favored taste for Belgian ales and German lagers. “That’s my thing and always has been.” He does not have an assistant brewer, so he makes all the beer himself. Currently, there are 15 different beers on tap. The number can range

He has a least one India Pale Ale and a regular pale ale on tap, so beer hounds have a wide choice when contemplating a selection. A sampling of a recent line up included an East Coast IPA, Saison, American Pale Ale, Dortmunder Gold Lager, Dopplebock, and several Belgians, including a Blonde Ale, Imperial Wit, Imperial Oatmeal Stout, Imperial Spiced Honey Stout and a Golden Strong. Recently the Virginia Craft Brewers Cup festival awarded a third place for his Belgian Blonde Ale and a second place for his Dopplebock.

COVID-19 is not going to kill us.” His advice to beer lovers is, “Life is too short to drink bad beer. I love my life today.

It’s hard work, but I love it.” For the complete story on this attractive and upcoming brewery, visit https://www.barkingrose.com.

Virginia to extend ban on utility shutoffs until October, SCC rules By Kate Masters

Courtesy of Virginia Mercury

Virginia’s State Corporation Commission agreed to extend an existing moratorium on utility disconnections until Oct. 5. But regulators warned it would be the last time they granted an extension on the shutoff ban, which has already been renewed twice since the SCC first imposed it on March 16 — just a few days after Virginia’s first confirmed case of COVID-19. The extension followed a Monday letter from Gov. Ralph Northam, who asked the SCC to continue the ban until the state’s General Assembly could agree on a more permanent solution during the ongoing special session. Previously, the moratorium was set to expire on Sept 16. But with no clear end to the session in sight, Northam requested another continuation earlier this week, citing the the ban’s importance in protecting public health throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The governor introduced new budget language to address utility payments when lawmakers convened in August, including a debt forgiveness program and structured

repayment plan. Earlier this month, he also proposed requiring Dominion Energy — the state’s largest energy monopoly — to cover unpaid electric bills with $320 million that regulators say the company previously overcharged consumers. But nearly a month since the General Assembly convened, largely to address a projected $2.7 billion shortfall, legislators have yet to address Virginia’s two-year spending plan. With no legislatively approved solution to address unpaid bills — driven by record unemployment numbers amid the pandemic — Northam said that another extension was needed to give lawmakers more time to finalize the state’s budget. While the commission agreed to renew its order, the Sept. 15 order marked the second time that the agency has warned it wouldn’t extend it further unless ordered by the General Assembly. Regulators had already warned that an ongoing ban on disconnections was “not sustainable” — a message the agency reemphasized in its latest statement this week. “Unless the General Assembly explicitly directs that a utility’s own

shareholders must bear the cost of unpaid bills, those costs will almost certainly be shifted to other paying customers,” the order read. Regulators also warned of “potential financial damage” to smaller electric and water utilities, which “may not have ready access to additional capital” in the same way as large companies such as Dominion. The SCC has repeatedly emphasized there are already existing protections for customers during the pandemic. In June, the agency directed utilities to offer extended payment plans to customers struggling to pay bills. Companies were prohibited from charging late fees in those extended payment plans, and the SCC said in August that all utilities under its jurisdiction had complied with the request. Regulators wrote that customers would continue to be protected from service shut-offs until October as long as they had agreed on a repayment plan with their utilities. “We have urged the Governor and General Assembly to appropriate funds for direct financial assistance to those customers who are unable to pay their bills due to the COVID-19

pandemic, in order to avoid shifting these costs to other customers,” the agency wrote in its latest order. “We hope the General Assembly uses this additional time to act on this recommendation.” The information would “allow the General Assembly to more fully consider and propose legislation,” the letter read.

LET THE PLANNING FOR THE GAMES BEGIN VHSL gives go-ahead for high school sports to resume in December By Peter Brewington and Fred Hodge Times Staff Writers

Coaches and athletic directors in Virginia formally heard the news they expected last Thursday when the Executive Committee of the Virginia High School League (VHSL) finalized the abbreviated athletic calendar for the 2020-21 school year. The 33-0 vote capped months of intensive state-wide discussion. Each sport will be limited to 60% of its normal schedule, opening with winter sports in December. The VHSL is calling its approved model “Championship Plus One,” which refers to state championships being held, with schools who don’t qualify for postseason getting to play an extra game. “We understand this plan, or any plan, will not meet the expectations for those wanting a normal fall, winter and spring sports season. This plan, however, will allow student-athletes and academic activity participants the opportunity of having a season and

playing for a state championship,” said VHSL executive director Billy Haun. The news was greeted with relief by school officials eager to finalize planning they’d already been working on. “It’s nice to be able to schedule and know what to look forward to instead of ifs, ands and buts,” said Kettle Run activities director Paul Frye. Basketball and sideline cheerleading may begin practice Dec. 7, with first games Dec. 21. Wrestling, indoor track and swimming start Dec. 14 and begin competing Dec. 28. Football and competition cheerleading can start practice Feb. 4, with first football games Feb. 22 and cheer meets March 1. The other relocated sports of field hockey, volleyball, cross country and golf can practice Feb. 15 and compete March 1. The spring sports of softball, baseball, lacrosse, outdoor track, soccer and tennis may begin April 12 with openers April 26 except tennis, which can begin April 21.

and fellow ADs in the Class 6 Cedar Run District have made tentative scheduling plans and will meet again Wednesday to make more refinements, with a 16-team regional meeting set for Thursday. With six teams in the Cedar Run (Unity Reed, Battlefield, Patriot, Osbourn, Osbourn Park, John Champe), Turner said each football team will play five district games and one outside opponent. “Football seems easier now that we don’t have to schedule out-ofdistrict opponents,” said Turner. Turner said tentative plans for the 14 basketball games are also in place with each team playing other district foes twice for 10 games, with teams choosing to fill the other four either with a tournament or selection of individual games. The Cardinal District, which has seven teams (Hylton, Colgan, Forest Park, Freedom, Gar-Field, Potomac, Woodbridge), sets up perfectly for football, with six games against the other foes. Turner said he’s cautioned his Unity Reed coaches that things could still get hindered by pandemic restrictions, bad weather and other considerations. “I’ve tried to explain to coaches not to get too excited about getting all their games in,” said Turner. Unity Reed football coach Carroll Walker says the pandemic is still his No. 1 concern. “Right now, until school opens, we need to follow those guidelines to be sensible, and not jump the gun,” said Walker. Playing four of the six football games in winter, which runs until late March, is a potential problem. “February is the worst. We’re talking about freezing weather. If it snows two days in a week, how are we gonna play?” said Walker.

Student sportswriters sought to cover high school games

The Prince William Times is looking for student sportswriters to help cover sports this coming season. Candidates need a knowledge of sports and ability to write clearly. They’d be assigned to file stories on games, which would include quotes and stats. Stories would be edited by sports editor Peter Brewington for potential publication in the Prince William Times and online. Contact Peter at peterbrewington@ hotmail.com. clouds on the horizon. The VHSL’s Haun repeatedly has said the VHSL will not be able to conduct sports in the high risk category (as classified by the NCAA) while Virginia is under Phase 3 guidelines issued by the governor. Haun said he met with members of the Governor’s staff two weeks ago and were told not to expect exiting Phase 3 “anytime soon.” Basketball, wrestling, football, competition cheerleading, field hockey, volleyball, lacrosse and soccer are in the high risk category. With approximately 82% of the state’s public school students undergoing full virtual learning, a return to sports is still a challenge. “It’s going to be very hard for superintendents and localities to say it would be fine for us to have full-blown football practice on Monday afternoon when there’s no students allowed in the building,” aid VHSL chairwoman and York High principal Shannon Butler. “[The VHSL] can open sports up if we chose to do so, but that doesn’t mean all our kids would be able to play.” Citing what she deemed a widespread misconception, Butler said Gov. Northam and the state, not the VHSL, is not the final authority on whether athletics can be played.

F. Richard “Dick” Gastley Dick Gastley , age 79, passed away September 12th unexpectedly at his home in Warrenton, VA. The son of the late Roy and Catherine Gastley was born in Frederick, MD June 24, 1941. A proud graduate of Frederick High School, Dick went on to earn his bachelors at then Sheppard College and his Masters at Virginia Tech to begin his lifelong career in education for Prince William County Public Schools where he was a beloved Elementary School Principal for 35 years. Through his retirement, Dick stayed involved in educational organizations serving as the current Treasurer of the Prince William Retired Teachers Association. He was a member of the Fauquier County Retired Teachers Association, the Virginia Education Association, the National Principals Education Association. Dick was an avid sports fan who loved the Baltimore Orioles, Maryland Terrapins and still held great resentment for the Colts leaving Baltimore. His greatest passion was always baseball where he spent countless years on or at ball fields through his involvement in Dale City Little League or just by being the most supportive Dad anyone could wish for. Dick’s affinity to talk sports or any other topic often made him a favorite among the organizations he belonged to, his Suffield Meadows community, old and new friends, his doctor and most he met. We all know how he will be missed by those events which he always gladly attended. Lunches with the ROMEO club, the Novak’s Crab Feast and his own crown jewel, Dick and Cindy’s Christmas party. Dick is survived by the love of his life, Cynthia, his wife of 55 years whom he adored. They seldom left each other’s side. In retirement, they enjoyed travel, social events, family and most importantly each other. He is also survived by his son, Rick and his wife Kris Gastley, of Warrenton, VA and daughter Casey and husband Mike Goelz of Gainesville, GA. Dick is also survived by his beloved grandchildren Kelsey and Regan Gastley of Warrenton, VA and Chase and Devin Goelz of Gainesville, GA. He was more proud of them than they will ever know. Dick is also survived by one sister Kaye and husband Robert Rhodes of Crozet, VA , a nephew, Patrick Rhodes of Falls Church, VA and niece, Meredith Powell of Charlottesville, VA. Unfortunately, with today’s circumstances, the family has opted to have a small, private memorial service. The Gastley Family would also like to send a sincere thank you to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Deputies and First Responders whose sympathy, compassion and effort bring us comfort in our difficult time. In lieu of flowers or donations, we ask that you just remember to hug and cherish your loved ones a little extra on every day you have with them.
