New school to displace church, homeless nonprofit Fate of nearby mobile home park unclear By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County needs a new elementary school in north Woodbridge to alleviate crowding at least five area schools, but the site the school division chose for the new building will displace an existing church and a nonprofit dedicated to helping the homeless. The site is also raising concerns about the fate of an adjacent mobile home park where an estimated 150 lower-income people reside. The site the school division chose for the new school came to light
earlier this month when the school board voted Sept. 1 to initiate “quicktake” condemnation proceedings on about 4 acres near Fred Lynn Middle School, near the intersection of U.S. 1 and Prince William Parkway. A school division site plan for the new elementary school dated October 2020, obtained by the Prince William Times, shows a new three-story elementary school on 14 acres planned just east of Fred Lynn Middle School along Prince William Parkway.

Prince William sees ‘surge’ of COVID-19 cases over the past week County reports 9 more deaths Staff Reports The number of new daily COVID-19 cases reported locally over the past week were high enough to move the Prince William Health District into the “surge” category as of late last week, while cases are growing more slowly or peaking in the rest of Northern Virginia. Meanwhile, the local health district, which includes Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park, reported nine new COVID-19 deaths over the past week, with victims ranging from their 30s to age 80 or older. Among the nine latest fatalities, one was in their 30s, four were in their 50s, one was in their 60s, two were in their 70s and one was age 80 or older. The latest victims included six women and three men. The local pandemic death toll now stands at 602, with Prince William County having lost 539 residents, while Manassas has lost 51 and Manassas Park, 12.
Local cases
Prince William County remains in the red zone – or high range – for community transmission of the coronavirus with 181 cases per 100,000 residents in the last seven days, up from 176 cases per 100,000 residents over the previous seven days. Anything over 100 cases per 100,000 residents over seven days is rated “high” by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In areas of high community spread, the CDC recommends

COVID-19 booster shots now available at health district clinics By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William Health District began administering COVID-19 booster shots to those who are eligible on Monday and will continue to do so on a walk-in basis at both mobile vaccine clinics and the vaccine clinic at the Manassas Mall, officials said Monday. The health district announced earlier this month that it planned to reopen its mass vaccination center at the old Gander Mountain store for booster shots when they were approved. As of Monday, Sept. 27, however, the health district had not yet announced when the clinic at the store would reopen. The Manassas Mall vaccine clinic is open on Mondays from noon to 4 p.m. for first, second and third COVID-19 vaccine shots as well as booster shots. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday, Sept. 24, that it would approve COVID-19 booster shots for eligible people who received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least six months ago. People eligible to receive the booster shots include Americans ages 65 and older, adults with underlying medical conditions and adults in high-risk working and institutional settings. The authorization opens boosters to more than 20 million people who received their second Pfizer shots more than six months ago. The CDC told its advisers that there would be no requirements to submit documentation to prove that
people have the underlying conditions or work in at-risk settings, according to news reports. People with health conditions that compromise their immune systems have been eligible for a third shot for the last few weeks. Following Friday’s announcement, Virginia’s state vaccination coordinator Dr. Danny Avula issued a statement saying Virginia “welcomes the decision” from the CDC and is working with its vaccination partners -- private healthcare providers, pharmacies and other institutions -- to prepare to administer the extra shots. The VDH is also “establishing other vaccination sites to ensure eligible Virginians will be able to access a booster dose when it’s recommended,” Avula’s statement said. “We are confident that we will have enough supply, and that access will be widely available,” Avula said. Both the state health department and the local health district said they continue to prioritize their efforts on vaccinating those who remain unvaccinated because they are at the highest risk of contracting COVID-19 and becoming more severely ill. Cases, hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19 have been rising across the nation and, in Virginia, since July as a result of the spread of the more contagious Delta variant. “VDH’s top priority remains increasing vaccination rates in Virginia because those who are unvaccinated remain at the highest risk of severe illness and hospitalization due to COVID-19,” Avula said. Everyone 12 or older is eligible to
be vaccinated. To find free vaccines nearby, visit vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-
Who’s eligible for a COVID-19 booster shot? The following people who received the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine series at least six months ago and are: • 65 years and older and residents of long-term care settings • 50 to 64 years old with underlying medical conditions • 18 to 49 years old with underlying medical conditions based on their individual benefits and risks.

New trail links Belmont Bay to Veterans Park County adds 1-mile segment to the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail By Cher Muzyk
Contributing Writer
After nearly 20 years of planning and work at multiple levels of government, Prince William County is now home to the newest segment of the historic Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail -- an 800-mile network of locally managed trails along the Potomac River. The new segment, while only 1 mile long, is a key part of the trail because it finally connects the eastern Woodbridge community of Belmont Bay to Veterans Memorial Park via the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The addition is part of a trail segment that will eventually connect Mount Vernon with Quantico. The new trail segment was officially opened last weekend with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting on National Public Lands Day, which is held annually in September and promotes volunteer support to help restore and improve our nation’s public lands. The PHNST traces the origins of the ancient Potomac River from the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania down to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. It traverses three states and the District of Columbia and provides numerous side trails and alternate routes for exploration. The new 10-foot-wide, stone-dust trail adds to the 13 miles of PHNST already constructed in the county. A permit agreement among the county, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made the new trail segment possible. The permit grants the county a two-year construction right-of-way and a 50-year trail right-of-way for the development and management of the trail within the Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge. According to the permit, construction and future maintenance of the trail segment is the responsibility of the county.

Gerry Connolly, D-11th, fourth from the left, and Prince William County Supervisors Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, and Victor Angry, D-Neabsco (fifth and sixth from the left) and other county officials and advocates to open the new 1-mile trail. The cost of constructing the new trail segment, which is entirely located within the Woodbridge Magisterial District, was $540,000, according to Brendon Hanafin, chief of planning and capital projects for Prince William County’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. Congress designated the PHNST in 1983 with the goal of linking trail users to the history, culture and natural beauty of the Potomac River. Supervisor Margaret Angela Franklin, D-Woodbridge recognized the profound historical significance of the trail at the ribbon-cutting. “Although the Potomac River is often associated with the travels of George Washington, and preservation of significant places along its shores in the Civil War, we must not forget another less explored association -- the Underground Railroad. The Potomac was used as a means of escaping the oppression of slavery,” Franklin said. “Researchers have shown that the enslaved used absolutely all means to free themselves, and the Poto-

A new trailhead accessible from the sidewalk along Belmont Bay Drive in Belmont Bay now extends the full 1 mile to Veterans Park in Woodbridge. The $540,000 trail segment is part of the larger Potomac Heritage Scenic Trail, an 800-mile network of trails extending from Pennsylvania to Virginia.
Where is the new trail?
The new, 1-mile segment of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail can be accessed from either Belmont Bay or Veterans Park, both in Woodbridge. In Belmont Bay: Take the Belmont Bay Drive sidewalk to its southern terminus. The trail begins on the right. In Veteran Park: Take Featherstone Road to its northern terminus. The trail begins on the right. mac River was a part of such efforts. Along this very trail, men and women asserted their humanity in their quest for freedom.” Franklin also pointed out the importance of the new segment to the people of the Woodbridge. “We’re happy to be able to open up the trail extension because this is another way that we are helping move the Woodbridge District forward, particularly as we’re in the process of revitalizing the community.” Congressman Gerry Connolly, D-11th, spoke about the importance of connecting with nature and how
trails open that opportunity. “We’re celebrating one mile, but it’s an important celebration. Trails, which give access to open space, help remind us of the beauty we live with, which in our busy lives, we don’t often get to appreciate.” Connolly added that providing the public with access to nature “is incumbent upon all of us who hold public office as our legacy to the next generation.” To learn more about the PHNST visit www.nps.gov.

The Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail includes about 13 miles of completed trail in Prince William County, most of which is in Prince William Forest Park, Locust Shade Park and through the Julie J. Metz Wetland Bank to include the Neabsco Creek boardwalk. The new 1-mile section connects Belmont Bay and Veterans Park through the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge and is designated by yellow dots on this map. For a full map, visit NPS.gov.

Manassas takes first step toward selling youth baseball fields to Micron By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Manassas officials moved one step closer on Monday evening to sealing a deal with Micron that could allow the company to purchase the E.G Smith baseball complex in Manassas for a potential expansion. Manassas City Council unanimously approved a resolution allowing Micron the option to purchase the 18-acre facility on a first reading Monday night. A second reading will likely take place at their next meeting on Oct. 11 to formally approve the deal. E.G. Smith baseball complex and its six baseball and softball fields are located near Micron at the corner of Godwin Drive and Va. 28 or Nokesville Road. It has been long home to the 64-year-old Greater Manassas Baseball League, or GMBL. The complex was recently appraised for $6.6 million. Micron has agreed to pay more than double that for fields – about $14 million – and has agreed to pay the city a $250,000 non-refundable “option fee” for entering the deal. Micron has no immediate plans to purchase the property, but the complex is adjacent to the computer chip

manufacturer’s current $3 billion expansion project and might eventually be needed by the company, according to city officials. Dozens of parents and kids have expressed concerns in recent weeks
about being left without a place to play recreational baseball and softball if the deal is finalized. To allay their concerns, city councilors also passed a resolution on Monday evening assuring residents they would continue searching for a new baseball complex “in close proximity” to the city “prior to Micron completing the purchase of the E.G. Smith site, so that there is a seamless transition to a new facility for GMBL.” The resolution states that the council and the city will continue
“ongoing discussions” to identify and fund the construction of “a 21st century tournament level baseball [and] softball facility for the use of the residents of the City of Manassas and surrounding communities.” Last week, city officials held a work session on planned expansion of Dean Park, located within the city limits. Those plans will not include the relocated baseball fields, however, because of a lack of space for fields and parking, officials said.
Manassas to offer city employees $300 incentive to get vaccinated By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Manassas city is offering $300 or one day of paid leave to all city employees who provide proof they are fully vaccinated against the novel coronavirus. The vaccine incentive was passed on a unanimous vote by Manassas City Council on Monday evening. The incentive applies only to city employees and not employees of the City of Manassas school division. Human Resources Director Darla Hicks said employees who want to take advantage of the incentive have until Nov. 15 to upload a photo of their vaccination card via a secure link available only to city workers. Hicks clarified to council members that there is currently no mandate that city employees be vaccinated. Prince William County schools are requiring its more than 11,000 school division teachers and employees to provide proof of their vaccination status by Nov. 1 or begin regu-
lar testing. Prince William County’s government has not yet taken action to require any county employees to be vaccinated. The state of Virginia, Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington counties, as well as the City of Alexandria, have already taken action to require their employees to be vaccinated or get tested weekly.

Police: Drunk driver crashes into home, sparks house fire Staff Reports Police have arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly driving under the influence when he crashed his car into a house near Minnieville Road Sunday evening, setting the house on fire and displacing 10 residents, including five adults and five children. The man’s vehicle struck a gas line at the house causing a fire that “totally destroyed” the home, Prince William County Assistant Fire Chief Matt Smolsky said Monday. The displaced residents are being assisted by the Red Cross, Smolsky said. One adult resident was transported to the hospital for medical evaluation but was later released, and one firefighter was taken to the hospital and treated for exhaustion, Smolsky said. Firefighters and police were dispatched to the 13900 block of Andorra Drive to respond to the fire at 5:34 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 26. Smolsky said fire crews arrived “with the structure fully involved” and said it took several hours to contain. Police Master Officer Renee Carr said on Monday that the police department’s investigation revealed that a 2017 Honda Civic left the roadway and traveled into the side of a residence, striking a gas line and starting the fire. Carr said the driver attempted to SRO, from page 1 One aim of the revisions is to ensure school resource officers do not arrest students for what he called “minor offenses,” such as thefts, disorderly conduct and fighting. All are offenses that could be prosecuted under Virginia law and “in the past could result in an arrest,” Newsham said. The MOU is being reworked to instead ensure that such behaviors are handled by school division administrators as matters of school discipline – not as criminal offenses, Newsham said. The police chief called the change “a shift” from past protocols and a matter of police officers using their discretion about when a student’s behavior warrants and arrest and when it does not. “These are the types of things that can get our students unnecessarily involved in the criminal justice system,” he added. “I think collectively, we want to get away from that.” Newsham made the comments during a discussion about the police department’s first-ever use-offorce report, which was included in its 2020 annual report. The report showed that while Prince William County police officers rarely used physical force while making arrests last year, such instances disproportionately involved Black offenders. School division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta confirmed on Monday that the school division is revising the memorandum of understanding with the police department. She said there is “no scheduled date yet

Rudy Noe Gonzalez, 32, has been charged with driving under the influence, unreasonable refusal, expired registration and operating an uninsured vehicle. He is being held at the Prince William-Manassas jail without bond. for school board consideration, since there are still revisions in process.” School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef said the school board hasn’t been given any details on the revised memorandum yet. But he said he believes the goal of the new agreement is to reduce students’ involvement with the criminal justice system. “My understanding is what they’re trying to do is make sure we’re really using the police like they need to be used, and not having them do things that they don’t need to be doing. And then also not criminalizing or involving kids in the criminal justice system for offenses that, in the past, were really handled [by the schools],” Lateef said. The debate over whether to remove police officers from schools has been an ongoing conversation at both the state and local levels. The school boards in Arlington County and the City of Alexandria both voted to remove police officers from their schools entirely earlier this year. They are the only two Northern Virginia locales to take such a step. At the state level, the Virginia General Assembly enacted several new laws in 2020 aimed at closing the “school-to-prison pipeline,” including a new rule banning disorderly conduct charges from being levied against Virginia students during school, on buses or at school-sponsored events. Prince William County schools had the largest number of students charged by police for school-based disorderly conduct from 2016 to 2018, according to a state report.

DISPLACE, from page 1 The new school would sit on land currently occupied by Pathway Vineyard Church. The church houses StreetLight Community Outreach Ministries, one of the county’s most active nonprofits serving the homeless. The school grounds would stretch south to directly border the mobile home park at Lynn and Griffin drives. School division spokeswoman Diana Gulotta said the new school site was chosen to provide relief for “current and anticipated” overcrowding at several nearby elementary schools, including Potomac View Elementary, Marumsco Hills Elementary, Featherstone Elementary, Fitzgerald Elementary and Vaughan Elementary. All five schools are currently over capacity. At about 14 acres, Gulotta said the school site is smaller than a typical elementary school site in the county. She added: “Because finding developable land in the eastern area of the county has become so challenging, the school division worked with several different Prince William County government partner agencies to locate acceptable properties.” School board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef said building the new elementary school is “a top priority” for the school board. Neither Gulotta or Lateef would confirm specific information about ongoing negotiations for the new school site, although Gulotta said “discussions with current property holders have been amicable.” Rose Powers, executive director of StreetLight Community Outreach Ministries, said she was notified by Pathway Vineyard Church’s pastor last week, however, that the nonprofit would need to vacate its offices in the church by the end of next year because the church is planning to sell its land to the school division. StreetLight Ministries serves hundreds of homeless and low-income individuals in the county. It recently had the contract to operate the county’s overnight homeless shelter at the Ferlazzo building and currently runs an overnight shelter geared toward disabled adults in the county’s former overnight shelter on Telegraph Road. StreetLight also houses about two dozen “medically fragile,” formerly homeless adults in group homes and apartments it owns and leases in Prince William and Stafford counties. At Pathway Vineyard Church, Streetlight operates a weekly food pantry. The church has provided StreetLight Ministries office space rent-free for years. Powers said finding a new space for their offices nearby will be costly and could result in a reduction in their services. “It’s devastating. We weren’t planning on this scenario just yet,” Powers said. Pathway Vineyard Church did not respond to requests for comment about the sale of the property. Gulotta said the school division has not yet purchased the land there.

Mobile home park’s future uncertain
It remains unclear how the plans for the new school will impact the mobile home park, which is adjacent to the proposed school site. The park contains about 40 mobile homes housing 150 residents, most of whom are Hispanic. Developer and home builder Stanley Martin bought the 4-acre mobile home park and four nearby parcels in 2004 and 2005 for about $5 million. The company initially planned a mixed-use development on the site but has since scaled back its plans to a 48-unit apartment complex, planned for a 3-acre parcel that fronts Mary’s Way. The school division initiated quicktake or eminent domain proceedings to acquire three parcels owned by a subsidiary of Stanley Martin called “Marumsco Neighborhoods LLC” for the new school. The school division does not plan to purchase the 4 acres housing the mobile home park, however, Lateef said. Still, the future of the mobile home park is unclear. Both county officials and Truett Young, vice president of land for Stanley Martin Homes’ Northern Virginia division, said there are no immediate plans to close the mobile home park. But Young and Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, indicated that the county may be exploring options to relocate the mobile home park’s residents in the future. The mobile home park sits directly in a FEMA-designated floodplain and a 100-year flood hazard area and experiences chronic flooding issues, according to people familiar with the park. Franklin said she hopes the county “can partner with a nonprofit to relocate residents within the mobile community to a different area within the Woodbridge District that is outside of a flood plain.” But she added that, “Any relocation plans will be based solely on whether residents within the mobile park community are interested in moving.”
Franklin said she has been working closely with advocates who work with the mobile home park’s residents “to guarantee that they are fully aware of any plans that may impact their community.” Advocates with two nonprofit organizations confirmed they are exploring ways to relocate mobile home park residents to another location nearby. But both declined to share specifics and asked that their names not be made public. Residents and others familiar with the park said flooding often causes up to a foot or more of water to accumulate in some parts of the neighborhood. Most residents move their cars onto a nearby embankment when rainfall is expected to avoid damage to their vehicles. About two years ago, a local nonprofit and county staff were called in to help clean up and repair some of the homes after flooding from a rainstorm badly damaged them. All the park’s residents own their own mobile homes and rent the land they sit on, and their rent ranges from around $300 to $500 a month, according to a community activist who asked that her name not be published. Prince William Deputy County Executive Rebecca Horner said the county has no current plans to relocate anyone from the mobile home park. But she said the county is aware of the flooding problem and is “paying close attention to the situation.” “There are homes that are in the flood way and flood plain and obviously, we want everybody to have a safe place to live,” Horner said. “Generally speaking, if we wanted to relocate people, we truly would be relocating people … working with organizations who specialize in affordable housing and subsidized housing to get them relocated into safe areas.” Stanley Martin Homes disagreed with the school division’s offer for those parcels, Young said. That led to the school board initiating quicktake powers to take ownership of the
land while they work out a selling price with Stanley Martin Homes in court. Young said he “initially thought that [the mobile home park] was going to go away with the school development,” but that the school division, “didn’t want to displace everybody.” He said Stanley Martin Homes will “likely sell it off at some point.” But added: “The county has some ideas about what to do with that property. They’ve talked about whether or not they want to move all those people to other affordable housing, or whether that land wants to be a future park.” Three residents of the mobile home park interviewed by Prince William Times said they have been told several times over the past few years by Stanley Martin Homes that they would need to vacate the property. But they said that hasn’t happened yet. Veronica Ochoa, who has lived with her five children in the park for nearly a decade, said she was told most recently that the mobile home park could be bought to make way for the school, or for a public park. She said she’s worried she and her kids won’t have anywhere to go if the park is closed. “I’m in the low-class. I have kids. And unfortunately, with the pandemic going on, it has been rough. And I guess they don’t care. It’s going to be hard. We are comfortable here. We already have our lives here. Our kids grew up here,” Ochoa said. Ochoa said she doesn’t think the residents of the mobile home park will receive help from the county or the developer if the property is sold. “This trailer park is a Hispanic community, and I know how they treat Hispanics. They might think that we’re ignorant. But I know when all this is over that we’re not going to get any benefit out of it. They’re just going to say, ‘Get out. We sold it.’ That’s basically what they’re going to do to us,” Ochoa said. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

GUEST OPINION
‘Why would anyone want to be a teacher today?’ How to make an indispensable job more appealing
Today, we find ourselves in a national teacher shortage that we have been able to avoid over the past few years. Old educators like me were warned about it many years ago, the lens being inevitable baby-boomer retirements. Moreover, the number of college students choosing to teach for a career continues to dwindle while the demand for teachers continues to grow. The shortage is real and is now impacting us significantly. As of today, we are down over 40 teachers [in Fauquier County], and there are very, very few candidates available to interview. Our human resources professionals attend over 40 recruitment fairs both in person and virtually, including our own hiring fair held every March. Still, the number of prospective candidates continues to decline each year. Unless we act decisively and creatively, the impact of the shortage will only get worse. The people who will suffer as a result of this shortage are, of course, our kids. The long-term effects could be catastrophic for our communities in general. When we search for solutions, the most obvious answer doesn’t seem so obvious anymore. Increasing pay is an important factor in attracting and retaining our teachers, but it is no panacea, as we see even the highest-paying school divisions in our state deal with the same shortages. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a large group of superintendents tasked with generating potential solutions. Here are some of the proposed strategies: • College loan forgiveness • Tax breaks • Housing assistance • Signing and loyalty bonuses • Limit what we expect from teachers to teaching and teaching only Most of these strategies are expensive -- potentially very expensive -- but the instructional alternatives associated with not having enough teachers are sparse. Widespread virtual instructional models still have a long way to go. Even the most robust and user-friendly models still have limitations that must be addressed, not the least of which is that virtual learning is never going to replace the effectiveness of in-person, face-to-face instruction for most students.
DAVID JECK
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
But there is another solution, one that gets very little attention but has the potential to have a monumental impact. I was able to speak with the current state secretary of education earlier this summer. We talked about teacher shortages, and he was kind enough to ask me what I thought the cause was. I asked a somewhat rhetorical question: “Who would want to be a teacher right now? Have you seen how teachers are being treated?” Teachers have had to endure revolting public comments at school board meetings, floggings via social media and even being called “losers” by national leaders. This kind of treatment needs to end immediately. Teachers are indispensable to our society, but sadly, they are not treated as such. We have to not only defend our teachers but praise them and elevate them to a level commensurate with the value they add to our communities. I recognize that the vast majority of folks in our community agree, and they do respect, appreciate and recognize the value they provide to our community. Teaching is hard work. Unless you have done it yourself, you may not be able to relate entirely. I am not, by the way, pitting teaching against any other profession. I wouldn’t attempt to draw those comparisons unless I had actually walked in those shoes. And yet, some will do just that even if they’ve not spent a single day teaching in a classroom. Let’s change the conversation and consider all strategies to attract more good people to this amazing profession. It is not too late to fix this problem. David Jeck, Ed.D., is superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools.
Experience makes Hala Ayala the right choice for lt. gov. As chief deputy whip in the House of Delegates, Hala Ayala has shown she knows how to get things done. Virginians are fortunate she has stepped up to run for lieutenant governor, where she will play a central role in enacting legislation that impacts all Virginians. Experience counts. We have a chance to elect a woman whose prior leadership positions have earned her the respect of colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Ayala acted as chief co-sponsor on major bills improving the foster care system, veterans’ benefits and access to school breakfasts and lunch programs. Additionally, she led the effort for Virginia to become the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, which if ratified nationally would include women’s equality in the Constitution in a way that state laws will not be able to roll back. Ayala’s 18 years as an information specialist for the Coast Guard and her work for the Department of Homeland Security are a strong background in cyber security. In Richmond, she has focused on issues such as increasing security for the networked devices we all have in our homes and increasing protections for minors online. Born and raised in Virginia, Ayala is the daughter of a Salvadorian and North African immigrant father and an Irish and Lebanese mother. Her life story reflects the growing diversity of Virginia. She lost her birth father at the age of 2 to gun violence, and she will prioritize investments to prevent community violence, including the epidemic of gun suicide among our veterans, first responders and
medical staff. She is a proud single mom who completed her college degree online while working full time. She sticks by her traditional “pizza Fridays” tradition for her family and staff, making a commitment to patronize small businesses around the commonwealth while campaigning and bringing that knowledge and empathy to her lawmaking work. In 2003 – almost two decades ago – Ayala’s opponent, Republican candidate Winsome Sears, walked away from public service after a grand total of two years as delegate. It’s hard not to wonder what other problems she will walk away from. Last year, Sears was the national chair of Black Americans to Reelect the President, and, as we all know, not only was he not re-elected, he lost Virginia voters by 10 percentage points. If we want a Virginia that won’t run straight into the ditch, we need proven, effective leadership that will keep our economic expansion going, make our communities safer from gun violence, prioritize our cybersecurity defenses and ensure our children’s schools have the funding they need for safe education to be in-person. Hala Ayala will continue to help us build our economy to be resilient in the face of a climate crisis that threatens our military bases, livelihoods and health, and that her opponent rarely mentions. The candidates couldn’t be more different. Please choose Hala Ayala for lieutenant governor. Early voting started Sept. 17. Vote up until Election Day, Nov. 2. KIRSTEN KING Warrenton

MIDSEASON FOOTBALL REPORT
GUYS, IT’S TIME TO MAKE OUR PLAYOFF PUSH By Jason S. Rufner
Special to the Prince William Times
The high school football season is at its midpoint. Time for the playoff push. With non-district play over, the 4-0 Battlefield Bobcats own the strongest start in Prince William, while fellow Cedar Run District foes Unity Reed and Osbourn both opened at 3-0 before suffering consecutive setbacks. Meanwhile, Freedom of the Cardinal District and Brentsvlle of the Class 3 Northwestern District are both 3-2, notching impressive wins and appearing playoff bound. The Virginia High School League announced that due to the number of COVID-related postponements, the first set of power point rankings will be available after Week 7.

Brentsville Tigers -Record: 3-2 (1-0 Northwestern District) -Last game: Beat Meridian 23-20 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Warren County -How’s it going? It was Loren White’s dream to be a head football coach. He’s living that dream this season. “It means so much to be at the helm at Brentsville District,” said the Gar-Field graduate and former staffer at Osbourn, Osbourn Park, Patriot, and Gainesville high schools. “We all have dreams and goals in life. Mine was to be a head coach, but makes it even better was to be the head coach here.” White has led the Class 3 Tigers to a 3-2 start. Sophomore quarterback Caleb Alexander has grown into the leader of the Tigers’ pack. He’s thrown for six touchdowns and run for five more. “He shows the versatility every game,” said White. Brentsville’s defense is led by senior lineman Ryan Stevens and sophomore linebacker Langston White, the coach’s son. They’ve combined for 57 tackles, six sacks, and two forced fumbles. Junior defensive back Will Johnson leads the secondary with four interceptions, including three in the win over Fauquier. Brentsville enters the season’s second half seeking its seventh straight postseason berth. “This season just shows alone how big this community is and how they support all that are a part of it,” White said.
Forest Park Bruins -Record: 2-3 (1-0 Cardinal District) -Last game: Beat Potomac 25-22 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Freedom -How’s it going? If the Bruins go on to have a winning season, they can point to Gilbert Tongrongou’s 25-yard field goal to knock off Potomac and put Forest Park at 1-0 in the Cardinal District. Tongrongou, once a soccer player, is bound for Boston College as a defensive lineman. Offensively, quarterback Quinton Pulley looks for top target Thyhiem Simmons. Four of FP’s five games have been decided by seven points or fewer.
Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets -Record: 2-2 (0-1 Cedar Run District) -Last game: Lost to Patriot 48-0 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Champe -How’s it going? It’s been a roller coaster so far for OP. The Jackets earned their first win in nearly two years with a 35-28 season-opening decision over Colgan. Junior running back Thomas Pullen is OP’s workhorse, taking the ball 53 times for an average of eight yards per tote.
Unity Reed Lions
Osbourn Eagles
-Record: 3-2 (0-1 Cedar Run District) -Last game: Lost to Champe 21-14 -Next game: Oct. 1 at Osbourn -How’s it going? The Lions opened the season with a bang, upending stalwart Westfield 20-14 before reeling off 22-7 and 28-7 wins over Colonial Forge and Woodbridge. Two straight defeats have followed. Led by running back DaShaun Gibson’s 22 yards per rush, and a loaded defense featuring stud linebackers Amare Campbell, Shane Eller, and Alabama commit Shawn Murphy, the Lions look to earn their first Cedar Run win Friday at Osbourn.
-Record: 3-2 (0-1 Cedar Run District) -Last game: Lost to Battlefield 16-0 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Unity Reed -How’s it going? The Eagles’ “O” logo is appropriate. All five of their games have been shutouts - three for, two against. Osbourn opened with a 56-0 win over Manassas Park and a 52-0 decision over Colgan before handling rival Osbourn Park 35-0. But setbacks of 12-0 and 16-0 to Potomac and Battlefield followed. Senior quarterback Jakari Lewis, a converted running back, continues to be the Eagles’ top rushing threat, averaging over 15 yards per carry. Osbourn seeks consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 2010-’11.
Battlefield Bobcats -Record: 4-0 (1-0 Cedar Run District) -Last game: Beat Osbourn 16-0 -Next game: Oct. 1 at Freedom-South Riding -How’s it going? It’s hard to win when a team can’t score, and Battlefield’s opponents have found that true all season. The Bobcats have given up 12, 6, 2, and 0 points in wins over Potomac, Patriot, Hylton, and Osbourn. Senior defensive back Dominic Taylor is a leader in the secondary, while the offense is run by senior Jonathan Walters. Graham Jones and Jelon Johnson are the top rushing threats. The annual season-ending showdown with rival Patriot will count in the Cedar Run District standings.
Freedom Eagles -Record: 3-2 (0-1 Cardinal District) -Last game: Lost to Gar-Field 20-16 -Next game: Oct. 1 at Forest Park -How’s it going? The Eagles have three blowout wins and two narrow losses. Prior to their setback against GarField, Freedom was averaging over 45 points per game. Senior quarterback Davis Bryson has been efficient running Freedom’s offense, throwing 11 touchdowns to just one interception while completing 67% of his passes. He has a bevy of talented receivers in Kam Courtney, Siyah Smith, E.J. Reid, and Carleton “JuJu” Preston.
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL
Maddox Turley and the Brentsville Tigers (3-2) have already beaten two Class 4 teams.
Gainesville Cardinals JV -Record: 0-3 -Last game: Lost to Westfield JV 48-18 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Patriot -How’s it going? History will be made Friday when Gainesville High School hosts the first football game in school history. Throw out the records so far. It’s the Cardinals’ first season as a football program, so veteran head coach Dan Bruton is setting different goals. “We are treating these young men like varsity players,” Bruton said of his junior varsity squad with no seniors. “We are setting the standard for what to expect here as a football player. We have put a lot on them and they have accepted the challenge.” Bruton said he wants players to “make the routine plays routinely” while taking on leadership roles. He’s already seeing that in his freshman team, which has started off 3-0 including a 39-14 win at Independence. The coach is looking forward to seeing his team play in front of their families and classmates for the first time. “It will be awesome to see our students getting to enjoy Friday Night Lights,” Bruton said. “This will be the foundation for our school spirit and I hope our student section brings it!” “I want it to be loud and vibrant,” director of student activities Jason Eldredge said. “A positive vibe to the stadium atmosphere will tell me what I need to know about the success of the event!”

Say ‘cheers’ to new fall wine trends Staff Reports Trends in wine this year are reshaping ideas about classic wines and growing regions. This year on the shelves of your local winery, you’ll see rosé — from conventional to complex, flat to sparkling. In wine shops you may find Portuguese wines that vary from light whites to bold reds, and a variety of flavored wine seltzers.
Rosé
Rose is all the rage. According to WinePair. com, the sweet pink wine saw a 19% increase in reader interest between 2019 and 2020. While you may associate rose with a cool sip on a hot day, it’s more than just a light summer wine. In fact, VinePair.com says the 2019 Adelaida Rose drinks like a red wine. Roses with more complex, intense flavors are better suited for colder weather and should not be chilled but served at a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Sparkling roses — also increasing in popularity — should be chilled. In late 2020, Italy’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry approved the production of Prosecco Rose, made from Glera and Pinot Noir grapes, and it was expected to hit wine store shelves in early 2021.
Portuguese wine
Known worldwide for its port wine, Portugal is enjoying a moment in the spotlight of wine trends. Wine Enthusiast recommends Portuguese wines for their easy drinkability and great value. The Douro Valley region, known for turning out port, is on the wine lover’s map this year for its unfortified dry reds, as well. Meanwhile, the northern Vinho Verde and Minho regions are known for crisp, light white wines. In addition to
Hot wines for fall: Try a sparkling rose or a one of the new flavored wine seltzers. native grape varieties, the area also grows Chardonnay and Riesling.
Wine seltzers
WineIntelligence.com predicts that the hard seltzer trend will give way to the wine seltzer trend. With lower alcohol content and more sweeteners than a typical wine spritzer, wine seltzer has a “lighter and crisper” taste, according to
MintLounge.com. Winemakers Barefoot and Del Mar introduced wine seltzers in 2020 and more producers are expected to follow. Barefoot’s flavors include rose, Sangria and Moscato, and while most flavors are canned, some are available in bottles. Del Mar’s canned flavors include blackberry, grapefruit, watermelon and white peach.

FOOTBALL, from page 8
Gar-Field Red Wolves
Manassas Park Cougars -Record: 0-4 (0-1 Northwestern District) -Last game: Lost to Monore 61-0 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes -How’s it going? The Cougars are on the hunt for their first points of the season. They held undefeated Thomas Jefferson to 24 points in Week 4.
Woodbridge Vikings -Record: 1-3 (1-0 Cardinal District) -Last game: Lost to South County 35-14 -Next game: Oct. 8 at Forest Park -How’s it going? The tragic passing of defensive coordinator Fred Moore during the Sept. 17 game versus Massaponax has left a hole in the Vikings’ family that won’t be filled. Woodbridge head coach Jimmy Longerbeam made Moore his first hire when he took the job after last season. Moore’s position on the staff will remain open for the remainder of the season, Longerbeam said. “He’s one of those guys who’s got the ‘it’ factor,” said Longerbeam of Moore. “I don’t think the impact he had was just with the football team. I can see it throughout the student body. “He was a really good football coach, but he was a really really good person.” Longerbeam said it’s now “a special season” because of Moore’s impact. “In fact, we still hold our meetings in his classroom,” the head coach said. “He’s certainly going to be missed.” Woodbridge’s offensive line features three sophomores and a freshman,
flanked by a sophomore tight end. They’re all protecting senior quarterback Quadir Thomas. “We’re playing a lot of young kids, especially on offense. We’re gonna have to play really good defense and make plays on special teams,” Longerbeam said. “If we get all three phases working, we’ll have a chance.” That formula got the Vikings off on the right foot in their Cardinal District schedule. Woodbridge blocked two punts and held Hylton to 25 rushing yards in a 22-8 victory Sept. 24. Longerbeam noted his young offense committed just one turnover. “These kids are coachable,” Longerbeam said. “They do exactly what we ask them to do.” He pointed to senior defensive end Gabe Kenner and senior linebacker Eddie Wilkerson as emerging standouts. Circumstances have wreaked havoc on the Vikings’ schedule. They played a rare Tuesday game Sept. 28 versus South County, making up the Aug. 27 contest postponed by a positive COVID test. The Massaponax game will be completed on Nov. 2 - another Tuesday with Woodbridge leading 21-14 with 6:39 left in the third quarter.
-Record: 2-2 (1-0 Cardinal District) -Last game: Beat Freedom 20-16 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Colgan -How’s it going? With raised expectations following a 6-1 spring season, the Wolves had a slow start to the fall campaign. But after opening with two losses, Gar-Field is on a two-game win streak.
Patriot Pioneers
Potomac Panthers
-Record: 3-2 (1-0 Cedar Run District) -Last game: Beat Osbourn Park 48-0 -Next game: Oct. 8 at Unity Reed -How’s it going? The Pioneers have alternated wins and losses since opening with a 42-6 victory over Hylton, then succumbing to rival Battlefield 27-6. Patriot survived 29-28 against Forest Park before falling 21-13 at Gar-Field. Senior running back Keith Jenkins Jr. leads the Pioneers with 616 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground.
-Record: 1-3 (0-1 Cardinal District) -Last game: Lost to Forest Park 25-22 -Next game: Oct. 1 at Hylton -How’s it going? The Panthers are better than that record. They lost 23-12 to undefeated Battlefield, then suffered a 34-33 heartbreaker at Brooke Point. Potomac dealt Osbourn its first loss in Week 4 with a 12-0 shutout, then fell in two overtimes to Forest Park. Senior quarterback Pete Woolfrey, who’s completing 60% of his passes, has connected with wideout Elijah Williams 10 times for two touchdowns, and Sebastian Medina nine times for one TD.
Hylton Bulldogs -Record: 1-3 (0-1 Cardinal District) -Last game: Lost to Woodbridge 22-8 -Next game: Oct. 1 vs. Potomac -How’s it going? Outside of a 34-22 win over Briar Woods, it’s been tough for the Bulldogs. They’ve managed a combined 16 points in their other three games. Quarterback Tyler Rekdal and wide receiver Dylan Wright are a potent senior combo for Hylton.
Colgan Sharks -Record: 0-4 (0-0 Cardinal District) -Last game: Lost to Champe 62-20 -Next game: Oct. 1 at Gar-Field -How’s it going? The Sharks had a bye week to prepare for their Cardinal District opener Friday at Gar-Field, so they’ll look to keep the Red Wolves’ offense at bay. Colgan has allowed over 50 points in each of its last three outings.
