Welcome back to school: Mountain View Elementary School in Haymarket welcomed about 10 kindergarten students back for the first day of in-person instruction on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Desks were separated and students had all their own supplies. Across the school division, about 2,750 kindergarten and 660 pre-K students returned for in-person classes, according to school division officials.
Despite rising COVID numbers, some students return to school By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County schools moved forward with a plan this week to bring pre-K and kindergarten students back into school buildings for in-person learning starting Tuesday, Nov. 10, despite current health metrics that show the county to have the highest rate of COVID-19 infections in Northern Virginia. During a Nov. 4 school board meeting, Superintendent Steven Walts told the school board the local health district’s COVID-19 metrics place the school division in the “highest risk” category in one “core” and one “secondary” indicator in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s metric for assessing the risk of re-opening schools. As of last week, Prince William’s number of new cases per 100,000 residents over the last 14 days – a core indicator of the CDC tool – topped 200, placing it in the “highest risk” category. The same was true for the county’s percent increase in cases over the last seven days, which is a secondary indicator. That number was 10.6%. Anything
over 10% is in the “highest risk” category. The Prince William Health District has had the highest rate of infection among 100,000 residents of any health district in Northern Virginia for the last several days. The county is in the “moderate risk” category in its percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests over the last seven days, also a core indicator. The county’s percent-positivity rate was 7.8% as of Monday, Nov. 9. Walts also told the board the school division has had a total of 130 positive COVID-19 cases among students and staff since the school year began Sept. 8, despite having only about 1,200 students attending in person. While some of those cases have required students and staff to quarantine, most have involved those working and learning virtually from home and were not directly connected to a school building. None of the cases have met the Virginia Department of Health’s definition of an “outbreak,” which is two or more cases among unrelated people stemming from exposure in the same place.

With all but a few votes left to be counted, Virginia appears to have lost its status as a swing state, and Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manas- President-elect Joe Biden sas Park have cemented their status as Democratic-voting locales. Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) beat President Donald Trump (R) in the 2020 presidential election by 10 points, 54%-44%, in Virginia, earning a higher share of votes than any Democratic presidential candidate in Virginia since President Franklin Roosevelt took 57% of the vote in 1944. The president-elect’s strongest support came from the commonwealth’s urban areas and from increasingly diverse suburban areas, which have seen a marked Democratic shift during the Trump presidency.

New program gives county a head start on ‘MARCUS’ law By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Gov. Ralph Northam has signed the Marcus-David Peters Act, a new law that aims to change the way that Virginia law enforcement and first responders react to people experiencing emergency mental health crises. It will require the creation of a statewide crisis response system, dubbed the mental health awareness response and community understanding services, or MARCUS Alert, that is staffed with mental health clinicians to work alongside local law enforcement when responding to mental health and substance abuse-related emergency calls.

Voters approve bipartisan commission to handle political redistricting By Graham Moomaw Virginia Mercury
Welcome Back! Our lives have changed over the past several months. As we all try to figure out our new normal, know that OmniRide’s family of services are ready to meet your mobility needs. We saved a seat for you!
For years, redistricting reform advocates have been arguing something should be done to curb Virginia’s long history of political gerrymandering. On Election Day, Virginia voters overwhelmingly agreed, passing a constitutional amendment that largely strips the General Assembly of its authority to redraw legislative and congressional districts, a historic shift in a system that dates back to Virginia’s colonial beginnings. Wielding that power instead will be a 16-member, bipartisan redistricting commission made up of both sitting lawmakers and citizens, a panel designed to conduct its business publicly as opposed to the secretive, insider-driven processes of the past. In a year of intense partisan division, the idea of depoliticizing the redistricting process seemed to draw broad support across parties and regions. With almost 90% of expected votes counted this week, about 66% of Virginians had voted in favor of the amendment. In Prince William County, the amendment was approved by 60%. The outcome ensures that the next redistricting process — which could determine how much representation Virginia communities have, which political party is likely to hold power in Richmond and which incumbents are or aren’t safe from election challenges — will have at least some direct citizen involvement for the first time ever. Once a decade, the state uses new U.S. Census data to redraw legislative and congressional maps to ensure each district has roughly the same population. How those districts are drawn can have far-reaching impacts, affecting which party can win a majority of the seats, electoral competitiveness, how much political power minority communities have, and which individual politicians get to represent a particular area. So it’s no surprise that changing who draws those maps was a contentious endeavor. The vote on the redistricting question, coupled with strong Democratic victories in Tuesday’s statewide races, reveals a disconnect between some Democratic leaders and the party’s voters.

Many Democrats in the House of Delegates voted against the commission proposal this year after voting for it in 2019, a reversal they said came after they had more time to consider its flaws. The Democratic Party of Virginia also officially opposed the initiative despite the fact that it was supported by senior Virginia Democrats like U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner. Had the amendment failed, the Democratic-led General Assembly and Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam would have the final say on new maps. The proposal was supported by national good-government groups as well as the ACLU of Virginia, the League of Women Voters of Virginia and the Virginia Chamber of Commerce. But it fell short of what many redistricting reformers envisioned: a fully independent commission that gives incumbent politicians no power whatsoever to draw their own districts. Because Virginia has no process for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments, it’s always been up to state lawmakers to willingly give up their redistricting power. In previous years, the Republican-led House of Delegates routinely blocked redistricting reform efforts. But GOP leaders changed their position in 2019 after federal courts redrew some House districts to correct Republican-led racial gerrymandering, a development that helped put the House GOP majority in jeopardy heading into the 2019 elections. Reserving half the seats for legislators was seen as a compromise that still gives General Assembly leaders a hand in redistricting, which can have career-ending consequences for incumbents whose districts change dramatically. Maps produced by the new commission will go to the General Assembly for an up-or-down vote. If the commission can’t agree on maps or the General Assembly rejects the commission’s maps, the Supreme Court of Virginia would conduct a court-supervised redistricting process. Mercury reporter Ned Oliver and correspondents Roger Chesley and Mason Adams contributed to this story.

Manassas Park voters reelect mayor, send 3 new members to city council By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Manassas Park Mayor Jeanette Rishell won a second term in the Nov. 3 election, and voters elected three new members of the city council. With all four of the city’s precincts reporting, Rishell, a Democrat, beat her independent challenger Michael Carrera by about 400 votes. Rishell garnered 3,063 votes, or about 53% of the ballots cast, while Carrera collected 2,655 votes, or about 46%. Rishell ran on her record of stabilizing the city’s fragile financial status by refinancing its debt, saving about $2 million a year, and lifting the city from a negative position to achieving “modest” reserves, according to her website. Rishell could not be reached for comment. In the city council race, four candidates were vying for three seats. Newcomers Darryl G. Moore, Yesina “Yesy” Amaya and Laura HampSCHOOLS, from page 1 “We continue to monitor local health metrics, and the trends are not positive, as COVID cases grow locally, regionally, and nationally,” Walts said. Still, Walts said the school division considers the county’s overall risk to be in the “moderate to high” range on the VDH metric for local schools. In that range, the VDH advises school divisions to revert to the state’s Phase 2 reopening guidelines, which allow in-school instruction for special education students, English-language learners and students in pre-K through third grade. If “multiple” primary or secondary indicators enter into the highest-risk category, the school division “may enter Phase 1 guidance, which is the most restrictive for allowing in-person teaching and learning,” Walts added. Under Phase 1 guidelines, school divisions are advised to allow only students with disabilities to return to school. Under the current hybrid plan, students whose families chose to return to school in person will be permitted to return to school two days a week – either Tuesdays and Thursdays or Wednesdays and Fridays – depending on their assigned “houses.” Monday will continue to be a virtual learning day for all students. Students in first grade will begin the hybrid schedule on Dec. 1, while all other grades will phase into hybrid instruction over several weeks in January and February. The school board initially planned to launch the hybrid return-to-school plan at the start of the second quarter in October. But Walts delayed the move because of the local health district’s high COVID-19 metrics. The current numbers are actually higher, however, than they were when Walts announced the delay Oct. 7. At that time, Prince William County’s number of new cases per 100,000 residents over 14 days was 134, which was in the “higher risk” range, and its
ton were the top vote-getters in the race, while incumbent City Councilman Donald Shuemaker fell short of reelection. Moore garnered the highest number of votes, 3,393, or about 27% of the ballots cast. Amaya received the next-highest number of votes with 3,069 or 24%, while Hampton won 2,992 votes, or 22%, according to the still unofficial vote tallied by the Virginia Department of Elections. Moore moved to Manassas Park two years ago from Berkeley, California, to be closer to his two sons and eight grandchildren after retiring from his post as a senior management analyst for the Oakland Housing Authority. He also worked as a management analyst for the City of Berkeley and served for 12 years on the Berkeley City Council. Moore said he ran for the Manassas Park City Council with hopes of reducing its real estate tax rate, boosting teacher pay and upgrading the city’s older infrastructure. “I was elated and excited and overwhelmed to be
percent-positivity rate, at 6.1%, was in the “moderate risk” range. Walts announced that families will have another chance to switch to in-person instruction for the third quarter, which begins Jan. 26. Parents will be able to update their preference via “ParentVUE,” the school division’s online parent portal, between Jan. 4-8. The school division is moving forward with plans to outfit schools with the necessary technology to allow teachers to instruct students in their classrooms and virtual students working from home simultaneously. The upgrade of the school division’s network to 100 gigabits is complete, and headsets and webcams are being delivered to schools this week, Walts said. Also, the school division is expected to fully distribute the 47,600 computers it ordered for students one month early by winter break, Walts said.
School board OK with less than 6-foot social distancing
Walts has been under pressure to allow students return to school by parents and some members of both the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and school board, including School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef, who had criticized the current plan as not being “aggressive” enough with regard to returning students to in-person learning. Lateef and other school board members said the school division’s ability to mitigate the spread of the virus in the schools is more important the level of COVID-19 spread in the community. They also acknowledged, however, that the school division cannot ensure 6 feet of distance between students and staff at all times, which is one of five mitigation strategies stressed in the CDC metric. Students will be closer than 6 feet apart on buses, in hallways and in some classrooms depending on the number of students and the size of the classrooms. Still, some school board members said they consider a minimum of 3 feet of social distancing – with a goal of 6 feet whenever possible – to be sufficient.
From Left to Right: Mayor Jeanette Rishell, Darryl G. Moore, Yesina “Yesy” Amaya and Laura Hampton elected by the citizens of Manassas Park,” Moore said of his election Wednesday, Nov. 4. Amaya ran on a slate with Moore and Shuemaker, Moore said. Amaya is an immigrant from El Salvador who grew up in Falls Church and moved to Manassas Park in 2001. She owned a retail bakery and now owns an event venue in the Maplewood Shopping Center, according to her LinkedIn account. Hampton, who ran as an independent, is a lifelong resident of Manassas Park and a project manager. She served on the City of Manassas Park Electoral Board for 15 years, according to her website. Sitting city councilmembers Hector Cendejas and Miriam Machado did not seek reelection. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

“The guidance isn’t 6 feet at all times ever,” said Wall, who has been a strong advocate for returning students to in- person instruction along with Lateef and Potomac Representative Justin Wilk. “It’s 3 feet at minimum, and 6 feet to the largest extent possible. And with that language, I think it’s clear that we can meet that,” Wall said. Occoquan School Board Representative Lillie Jessie, who has been among the board’s more cautious voices regarding in-person learning, said she, too, wants students to return to school but noted, “We are surging with this COVID.” “I think we’ve got to be cautious and respond to what we see once these kids get back in school,” she added. Lateef countered that the pandemic is not going away and that “cases and quarantines are inevitable and will happen.” “The most critical aspect of this entire effort … is our ability to mitigate because that’s gonna be the only thing we can control, because this is with us for years now,” Lateef said.
Jessie, however, noted that returning more students to school could require big changes, such as where classes are held. Woodbridge High School, she noted, has almost no windows and might not be optimal during the pandemic. “I don’t think we should be so anxious to get them back,” she added. “I think I’d rather err on the side of caution. But at the same time, I want these kids back in school.” Lateef noted that once all students are permitted to go back into the building in February, which is when middle and high school students are scheduled to return under a hybrid schedule, students will have been out of school for nearly a year. “I think we have been cautious. I think the division is doing everything they can to try to mitigate. We’ve received a lot of money to work on this mitigation, and these are the things we can control, we just can’t control the virus,” Lateef said. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

having a mental health crisis response program.
The bill, signed Thursday, Nov. 5, is named for Marcus-David Peters, a 24-year-old, African American high school teacher who was shot and killed by a Richmond police officer in 2017 while suffering a severe mental health crisis. But while the new system is expected to take several years to implement, a new, locally funded program is set to take effect in Prince William County in early December that aims to do the same thing. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved the expansion of a countywide, “co-responder” pilot program in June that will send mental health clinicians along with local police officers trained in crisis intervention to respond to people who are experiencing a mental health emergency. Like the MARCUS Alert system, the aim of the program is to help de-escalate situations involving someone with a mental illness or a person experiencing a mental health crisis without the use of force, and to provide those individuals with the appropriate services and resources. When responding to a call, the mental health clinicians who accompany police officers will wear white polo shirts that identify them as “co-responder clinicians.” “These services are expected to increase the community’s awareness of access to resources while also reducing psychiatric inpatient stays, emergency department visits and overall need for police intervention,” said Heather Baxter, behavioral health program manager in Prince William County’s community services department. The pilot began in August 2019 as a collaboration between the Prince William County Community Services Department and county police, launching with one mental health clinician and one police officer. The program showed promising results, and the board of supervisors approved $900,000 in new spending earlier this year to expand the program.

Oscar Urbina, father of Ruben Urbina, speaks at a vigil for his son held outside the James J. McCoart building in 2017. Ruben, 15, was shot and killed by police earlier that year while suffering a mental health crisis at his Haymarket home. Prince William County Police Lt. Mike Day, who leads the police department’s crisis intervention team, said that in addition to de-escalating calls involving people suffering from a mental illness, the new co-responding unit will also “free up patrol officers” from sitting with persons in crisis for long periods of time while in emergency custody or temporary detention. “We hope to be able to divert more persons away from emergency custody and offer the appropriate resources within the community,” Day said. County police officials have said in the past that mental health calls have risen in recent years and that as a result, police officers are spending an increasing amount of time responding to those calls. The program, once implemented, will be in service Monday through Friday every week “with shifts varying to provide the best coverage possible,” according to a police spokesman. County officials have said they want to expand the program to provide 24/7 service, but no timeline has been set. Prince William County will join five other counties – Henrico, Virginia Beach, Rockingham, Alexandria, Fairfax – and the Northwestern Community Services Board in Warren County, in
The MARCUS bill, carried by Del. Jeffrey Bourne, D-71st, of Richmond, and Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, of Prince William County, was part of an extensive package of police and criminal justice reform bills brought forward by Democratic state lawmakers during the Virginia General Assembly’s fall special session. McPike, who has served as a Prince William County volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician for more than 20 years, said the new law will help get people the appropriate mental health treatment, and reduce the likelihood of incarceration for those experiencing a mental health crisis. “If you talk to first responders, both police and fire, they see this as a critical missing need in the first response network,” McPike said. “This really starts to connect the dots from the very first inception of a call and identification of a need, through to stabilization and long-term care.” One of the stakeholders who contributed to the crafting of the legislation was Oscar Urbina, the father of Ruben Urbina, a 15-year-old who was shot and killed by a Prince William County police officer in Haymarket in 2017, McPike said. Ruben was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time that he was shot and killed. “We see this occurring all across the nation, including Virginia, where clearly people are in crisis,” McPike said. “And getting the people with the right skill set to the table is important. If you talk to firefighters and police, I think everyone agrees that we need to provide more resources to this effort. And hopefully it will save lives in the future.” Prince William Board of County Supervisors at-large Chair Ann Wheeler said she was grateful the commonwealth “recognizes the importance of programs like these to more appropriately address the mental health needs of our community.” “It is a win-win for everyone,” Wheeler said.

BIDEN, from page 1 Biden carried all 10 of the state’s cities and counties with populations of 200,000 or more, including the suburban areas of Northern Virginia, including Prince William, Fairfax, Loudoun and Stafford counties; the Richmond City suburbs in Henrico and Chesterfield counties; and the Hampton Roads cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Norfolk. “When we’re talking about suburban voters, we’re not just talking about white voters. Our suburbs are diverse. In Chesterfield and Henrico, we have large AAPI [Asian American and Pacifica Islander], Black and Latino communities,” said Sen. Mark Warner campaign manager Alice Lin Tong at “After Virginia Votes,” a post-election event hosted by Virginia Public Access Project. In Prince William County, the area’s fast-growing, diverse population has led to big Democratic gains in local and state races since 2016. Biden beat Trump by 27 points in Prince William County; by 24 points in Manassas; and by 30 points in Manassas Park. Turnout in Prince William County was 74%, according to county elections spokesman Matt Wilson. Democrats also swept the 2020 Manassas mayoral and city council races. Democratic incumbents Pam Sebesky and Mark Wolfe and newcomer Tom Osina won all three city council seats that were up for grabs. Democratic councilwoman Michelle Davis-Younger won the Manassas mayoral race. Ben Tribbett, a Democratic campaign consultant based in Fairfax, said Prince William County’s Election Day results “continued the trend that it’s had for a couple of years now.” “The county is becoming more and more Democratic and is following the trend of everywhere else in the country in upper-income suburban areas. Prince William County is one of those emerging counties that meets those demographics,” Tribbett said. Republican lawmakers in the county have lost numerous state and local seats in Prince William County during the Trump presidency. Democrats flipped every Virginia House of Delegates seat in the area and three local board of supervisors’ seats in 2017 and 2019. At the VPAP post-election event Monday, Mark Rozell, dean of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, said: “Republicans have a real chance at a resurgence” during Virginia’s 2021 election cycle, when the governorship and all House of Delegate seats are up for grabs. “Democrats have a tendency sometimes, when they win the presidency, to behave as if they’ve won the whole government of the United States. During the Obama era, the party was just decimated at the state and local levels throughout the country,” Rozell said. “They’ve got to be careful to not let that happen again, otherwise you’re going to see a Republican resurgence,” Rozell added.

Former NBA star opens local recovery center Chris Herren battled his own addiction. Now he’s helping others do the same. By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
When former NBA basketball player Chris Herren was battling addiction more than a dozen years ago, he wound up in a peer-led group facility with 96 other men. “The treatment was all about behavior modification; it was very confrontational.” He remembered men having to wear signs that said: “I’m stupid” or “sitting knee to knee in therapy sessions, yelling at each other.” Like many in the recovery field, Herren believes substance abuse is an illness, not a character flaw, and wanted to create a better, gentler path to recovery. “And why not more gentle?” he asked. Herren said he remembered one mother who explained that his methods were not right for her son. “She said that she thought her son needed to be ‘punished with reality.’ I thought that was so sad,” he said. “It’s not about punishment. Would you punish someone if they had diabetes?” Herren, who played professional basketball with the Denver Nuggets and the Boston Celtics, eventually had his athletic career sidelined by addiction. He worked his way to sobriety in 2008 and has since launched Herren Wellness. He opened his first recovery treatment center in Seekonk, Massachusetts. Now, with the help of the nonprofit PATH Foundation, Herren is set to open his newest recovery treatment facility in Warrenton. Herren Wellness at Twin Oaks in Warrenton, at 6791 James Madison Highway, is set to welcome its first guests in about a week. “Like the rest of the country, our area has seen troubling increases in substance use and addiction to drugs and alcohol,” explained Christy Connolly, PATH Foundation president and CEO. “The lack of recovery centers in our area is something we wanted to address, and in supporting the addition of Herren Wellness at Twin Oaks, we hope to offer a catalyst to families facing issues resulting from addiction.” Those who seek help with substance abuse at Twin Oaks will be assisted by more than 20 full-

Massage therapy, acupuncture and hyperbaric oxygen therapy will be available as well. Herren describes the process as a 12-step program, like the one used by Alcoholics Anonymous. At his company’s other location -- Herren Wellness in Seekonk, Massachusetts -- the average length of stay has been a little over two months. About 67% of guests have been men, 37% women. After leaving the wellness center, about 55% of participants con-

tinue to engage with other alumni, statistics provided by Herren Wellness show. The Warrenton center is set up for 21 residents but is opening with just four. “We think it’s only fair to our staff and our first guests that we start out slow,” Herren said. Herren decided to open a center in Warrenton because of a connection he felt when he delivered motivational talks to students here. “I didn’t revisit other communities as much as I returned here. The Hampton Inn became my second home” during those visits, he said. “I felt a connection to the people of Fauquier.”

The PATH Foundation discussed with him the possibility of opening a center here. When he found the 60acre Twin Oaks up for sale, he made up his mind to expand his recovery footprint. The price tag for a month-long visit to Twin Oaks is $15,000. That may sound high, but Herren said that comparable facilities with similar services throughout the country charge up to $60,000 a month. He added that a person may not have $15,000 to spend, “but some families put their resources together to provide this opportunity.” And, he said, up to two community members per month will be able to qualify for a scholarship to the facility. Herren said he and his staff have learned a lot during the three years since he opened the center in Seekonk. He said he has hosted guests from as young as 15 years old to senior citizens at 72. “I had a man and a woman, 71 and 72. They are my favorites. At that age, they still want to take a swing at this? That’s amazing.” About 70% of guests at the Massachusetts location have been battling alcohol addiction; the rest are trying to break free of a narcotics addiction, Herren said. All guests are medically cleared and detoxed before they join the group. All guest rooms are simply furnished with an airy country ambiance; large windows look out on wooded views. Most rooms will house two guests. There is one that can host three and there are several singles. “Sometimes older people do better in their own space,” Herren said, but for the most part, he personally helps to match compatible roommates. “Roommates matter. They can make all the difference in the world, that mentorship.” It’s one more way for guests to establish connection, Herren said. It’s a word that permeates his conversation – connections between staff and guests, connections between guests. He said connection to family is important, too, for those struggling with substance abuse. “There is an emphasis on family. On weekends in Seekonk, we’ll have 10 or 15 kids running around all day. Kids need to see where mom or dad is. Families need to recover along with them.” In addition to a focus on mental health and substance abuse recovery, Herren’s wellness center embraces physical wellness as well, he said. “We try to mirror life somewhat for our guests. We take them skiing, hiking to the beach, we play paintball. We have a running club that goes out as a group every morning, through the community’s backroads.” See HERREN, page 7

He said that some guests who have been at the recovery center for a while work during the week and for others, “going home on the weekends is pivotal to their recovery.” Wellness plans are individualized, and families are included in the recovery process, he said. Herren explained, “It takes most people a couple of weeks to get comfortable enough to start opening up …. When they join a group where others have been here for two to four months, they seem to immediately understand that they need to hit the ground running. The people that have been here a month or two are in a very different place than when they started.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

COVID-19 protocols at Herren Wellness at Twin Oaks:
According to communications director Jenny Swider, Herren Wellness has a strict COVID policy to prevent the virus’ spread. She said that each guest is given a rapid test upon admission to Herren Wellness; guests are not able to join the community until they receive a negative test result. She added that the staff are tested regularly and are given daily temperature checks. Once Herren Wellness at Twin Oaks opens, Swider said, “anyone outside of the community will be required to wear masks in accordance with local, state and federal guidelines. To date, we have not had any COVID-19 cases at Herren Wellness at Jacob Hill in Seekonk, Massachusetts, but there is a protocol and strict guidelines in place.”

POLICE BRIEFS Quantico man indicted for embezzling from Pentagon union
Reston man charged in Dale City homicides
A federal grand jury returned an indictment Friday, Nov. 6, charging a Quantico man with wire fraud in connection with an alleged scheme to embezzle more than $380,000 from his former union, which represented federal law enforcement officers. According to allegations in the indictment, Arthur Penn, 64, served from 1999 through 2015 as the chairman of the Fraternal Order of Police Defense Protective Service Labor Committee Pentagon, a local union that represented officers of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency. During his tenure, Penn allegedly routinely embezzled funds from the union for his personal benefit, and spent the stolen funds on gambling, to pay for a personal trip to the Dominican Republic, and for his day-to-day living expenses, according to the indictment, which was announced by U.S. attorney for the Eastern District Zachary Terwilliger in a Nov. 6 press release. “Penn sought to conceal and prevent the detection of his embezzlement by failing to make regular reports to union members; by violating his obligation to file regular financial reports with the Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards; and by siphoning off most of the embezzled funds through cash transactions, thereby avoiding the creation of financial records that would have revealed the fraud,” Josh Stueve, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District, said in the release.
A Reston man has been charged in connection with a fatal shooting at a Dale City house party last weekend that left two people dead and two others injured, according to police. Karriem Angelo Jackson, 26, of the 2300 block of Hunters Square Court in Reston, was arrested and charged Thursday, Nov. 5, with two counts of second-degree murder, four counts of aggravated malicious wounding and four counts of use in a firearm in the commission of a felony, according to a Prince William County Police press release. Jackson was identified as a suspect on Nov. 3 by detectives with the Prince William County Police Department’s homicide unit, the release said. Their investigation revealed the shootings occurred at about 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1 during a large party occurring at a home on Bristol Court in Dale City. During the encounter, the suspect brandished a firearm and fired multiple rounds, striking the four victims. Two people were killed in the shootings, Christopher Alan Johnson, 24, of Alexandria, and Frank Chineji Sapele, 25, of Arlington. Two other people, a 23-year-old Triangle man and a 24-year-old Fairfax County woman, were injured in the shootings but are expected to recover, the release said. Jackson was apprehended without incident Thursday by U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. No additional suspects are being sought at this time, the release said. Jackson is being held without bond ahead of a Dec. 11 court date, the release said.
Police: Bristow teen charged with shooting acquaintance An 18-year-old Bristow man is facing weapons charges after he inadvertently shot a 19-year-old acquaintance with his shotgun, according to Prince William County police. The 19-year-old victim, who was not identified, suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and was taken to an area hospital for treatment, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department. Officers responded to a residence in the 12500 block of ChippenhamCourt in Bristow at 9:57 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5, to investigate the shooting, which was reported to have occurred earlier that evening, Perok said in a news release. The investigation revealed the 18-year-old was handling a shotgun when he inadvertently discharged a round that struck the 19-year-old in the upper body, Perok said. Following the investigation, Brian Peter Kinsley, 18, of Bristow, was charged with reckless handling of a firearm. He was released on a court summons for a Feb. 3 court date, the release said.
Police: Teen shot, found lying in Manassas intersection Prince William County police are investigating after a 16-year-old boy suffering from serious gunshot wounds was found lying in the intersection of Portsmouth Road and Portwood Turn outside a Manassas apartment complex. Officers responded to the 8000 block of Ashland Avenue at 7:34 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, where they found the wounded teen lying “in the intersection,” according to Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman for the Prince William County Police Department. Officers used their department-issued trauma kits to render first aid to the teen until rescue personnel arrived. The teen was flown to an area hospital with serious injuries and is expected to survive, Carr said in a news release. Police have not yet identified a suspect. The investigation revealed that a possible altercation occurred in the area. Officers and a police K-9 searched for any other parties involved and located shell casings and a parked vehicle on Portsmouth Road with damage consistent with being struck by projectiles, Carr said.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Creating opportunities for those who served Every year on Veterans Day, I think about family, friends, and colleagues who have nobly served. Within my family, you could say service to country runs deeply through our DNA. My father served in the U.S. Air Force and my grandfather was a Marine. I enlisted in the Navy right after graduating from college and spent more than 20 years in active and Reserve roles, until I retired in 2017. Some of my most important lessons of leadership, which I carry with me today, were learned as an enlisted sailor. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to work alongside many mission-driven people who inspired and motivated me, and I learned the value of innovation and technology to our military. They are the reason I have dedicated my life to supporting our Armed Forces while they are deployed, and upon their return home. In my current role as a vice president of countermeasure & electromagnetic attack solutions at BAE Systems, I oversee an area of the business that takes battlefield innovation to unprecedented levels, all in the name of making sure our men and women in uniform come home safely. We take our mission of “We Protect Those Who Protect Us” to heart, and that mission extends to supporting veterans who are transitioning back into civilian life. This year, BAE Systems’ Community Investment team launched a Tech Power Grant Program that aims to provide technology and advanced manufacturing job training for veterans and military families. The goal is to improve lives and advance careers through the power of innovative technology and experiences. To achieve this, we’ve launched valuable partnerships with the following organizations: • KTECH in Huntsville, Alabama, which provides workforce training
and credential programs in mechatronics, soldering, and robotics. • Workshops for Warriors in San Diego, California, which offers accredited STEM educational programs and opportunities for veterans to earn third-party nationally recognized credentials in advanced manufacturing methods, including welding and machining. • Abilities, Inc. at the Viscardi Center in Greenlawn, New York, helps veterans match job skills with current labor market needs. • Veterans Count in New Hampshire helps underserved and undercounted veterans achieve career goals, build self-sufficiency, and improve their quality of life. • NPower in New Jersey creates pathways to economic prosperity by launching digital careers for military veterans and young adults from underserved communities. To apply to work for BAE Systems, veterans and anyone can search for opportunities at https://jobs. baesystems.com/global/en, using the Manassas site in their search. There’s even a special section on our careers website called Military & Veterans where they can type in their skillsets and translate those into what might be available at BAE Systems. I have been a member of the state executive committee for “Veterans Count” since 2009. My hope is that by partnering with these organizations, we can help ensure veterans and their families do not have to endure personal struggles after sacrificing so much for our country. On Veterans Day – and every day – we should all renew our commitment to providing unrivaled solutions to protect and enhance the lives of those who serve. We honor those who courageously protect our country, and we can’t thank them enough for their sacrifices. DAVE HARROLD BAE Systems Manassas

Park pioneers The people and pursuits behind Prince William’s parks By Martin Jeter
Contributing Writer
Parks and open space are now more popular than ever due to the pandemic. More folks are taking advantage of the great outdoors to exercise, enjoy nature, and as a way to take their minds off of our current situation. That makes this a perfect time to take a look at the history of some of our parks and the ordinary citizens that made them happen.

Prince William Forest Park was established in 1936. Now you can hunt, fish, view wildlife and just enjoy the great outdoors on its 301 acres. And in the spring, it features arguably the best fields of Virginia Bluebells in the area and is host to the annual Bluebell Festival.
Prince William Forest Park
This park was designed with the best of intentions but resulted in unfortunate initial impacts on the community. Unlike the other parks we’ve discussed that were brought into being after much public lobbying, this park was actually imposed on the local residents by the government. It was established in 1936 as part of the federal Recreation Demonstration Area project that built 46 parks in 24 states. The Recreation Demonstration Area program had three goals: to develop existing government land for parks, to provide employment during the depression, and to create new parks near urban areas. Chopawamsic Summer Camps were a key feature of this park; the goal was to give underprivileged children a chance to leave the city for a few weeks. Through crafts, nature walks, swimming, and other activities, the children who camped at Chopawamsic would get a different perspective on life. Unfortunately, Prince William Forest Park’s history also has a darker side. The children’s camps were segregated. Some of the land for the park was purchased from what were designated sub-optimal farmers. In other cases, the land was condemned, and residents were relocated. Whole communities -- folks who lived on the land for generations -- were forced to move. Folks in the Batestown community were also forced out. It was named after Betsy Bates, a freed slave like many others in the community. The residents resisted being relocated until 1942 when the Office of Strategic Services (precursor to the CIA) took over the area for a spy training facility and forcibly re-located residents. Their former lands were surrounded with barbed-wire and patrolled by soldiers and guard dogs. It’s not clear if the residents were ever compensated for their land. There are many other stories to tell regarding parks and the people that helped make them a reality, such as Doves Landing and the PWCA, Manassas Battlefield and Annie Snyder, Silver Lake and the PWCA, and even Elizabeth Hartwell and Mason Neck just on the other side of the Occoquan. All tales of one citizen or a group of citizens standing up to make these parks happen. Next time!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION OF ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION FACILITIES: PARTIAL LINE #2010 230 KV SINGLE CIRCUIT TRANSMISSION LINE UNDERGROUND PILOT PROJECT (TYSONS-FUTURE SPRING HILL SUBSTATION) CASE NO. PUR-2020-00198
ADVERTISEMENT
On September 29, 2020, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia ("Dominion" or "Company") filed with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") an application for approval and certification of electric transmission facilities ("Application") in Fairfax County, Virginia. Dominion filed its Application pursuant to ยง 56-585.1:5 and ยง 56-46.1 of the Code of Virginia ("Code") and the Utility Facilities Act, Code ยง 56-265.1 et seq. Through its Application, the Company proposes: (1) to remove an approximate 0.56 mile segment of its existing overhead 230 kilovolt ("kV") Reston-Tysons Line #2010 from the Tysons Substation to just south of the site for the future Spring Hill Substation and to relocate and replace the line underground; (2) to complete work at the Tysons Substation to allow this segment of Line #2010 to be relocated underground; and (3) to construct a transition pole just south of the future Spring Hill Substation to transition Line #2010 from an underground line to an overhead line (collectively, "Project"). Dominion states that the Project is necessary to support economic development priorities of the Commonwealth, including the economic development priorities and the Comprehensive Plan of Fairfax County, Virginia. The Company requests that the Project be approved by the Commission as a project that qualifies as a line to be placed underground, in part, because the Project meets all of the statutory requirements set forth in Code ยง 56-585.1:5 D for the Underground Pilot Program. Dominion represents that pursuant to Code ยง 56-585.1:5 D, Fairfax County has adopted a resolution in support of the Project and requested that the Company relocate and convert a portion of Transmission Line #2010 between the Tysons Substation and the future Spring Hill Substation from overhead to underground to facilitate the construction of a large planned mixeduse development, named "The View," that supports the economic development priorities and Comprehensive Plan of Fairfax County.
approximately $0.70 million for overhead transmission line-related work, and approximately $7.10 million for substation-related work.
The Proposed Route consists of approximately 0.58 mile of variable width right-of-way along existing Line #2010 between Tysons Substation and just south of the future Spring Hill Substation site. It largely will be on existing Company owned right-of-way and deviates for approximately 0.10 mile to accommodate the future site of The View development. The Line will exit the existing Tysons Substation across Tyco Road via VDOT permit and continue southwest for approximately 0.20 mile on existing 42-foot right-of-way. Temporary construction easements will be needed along this segment as will a VDOT permit. At this point, The Company states that the desired in-service date for this project is December the Line will depart from the existing right-of-way and turn south within a private 31, 2025. The Company represents that the estimated conceptual cost of service road for approximately 0.05 mile on a newly acquired 30-foot easement the Project (in 2020 dollars) is approximately $30.4 million, which includes until it reaches Spring Hill Road (Route 684). Temporary construction easement approximately $22.6 million for underground transmission line-related work, will be required along this segment. At Spring Hill Road, the Line will turn west

within Spring Hill Road for approximately 0.05 mile via a VDOT permit until it reaches Leesburg Pike (Route 7). These two 0.05 mile sections of the Line are being relocated outside of the existing right-of-way to accommodate The View, a future development. At Leesburg Pike, the Line turns southwest crossing under the elevated Metro Train Line and crossing Leesburg Pike via a VDOT permit for approximately 0.05 mile and then continues on existing 42-foot right-of-way for approximately 0.14 mile where it turns southeast and goes around the east side of the future Spring Hill Substation site within existing easement and the future Substation parcel. Temporary construction easements will be required along this segment. Just south of the future Spring Hill Substation parcel, the Line continues on existing 42-foot right-of-way to terminate at a Transition Pole. For purposes of this Project, the Company intends to build a Transition Pole just south of the location where the Company plans to construct the future Spring Hill Substation. The Transition Pole will be approximately 140 feet tall, subject to final engineering. The Company also intends to replace the existing Structure #2010/12 located south of the future Spring Hill Substation and the Transition Pole. The existing approximately 61-foot Structure #2010/12 will be replaced with an approximately 90-foot structure, subject to final engineering.

ACTION! HERE COME THE CAMERAS High schools gear up to livestream sports events By Peter Brewington and Fred Hodge Times Staff Writers
The streaming of live high school sports events became a trendy idea several years ago with many schools installing cameras and making the option available. Now, in the time of COVID-19, it could be the answer to watching games safely. In Prince William County, high-quality digital cameras were installed at high school fields and gyms within the last two years. Fauquier County is putting them in its three high schools right now. Games will be streamed on the National Federation of State High School Associations’ network, available on all devices. A yearly plan to view games costs subscribers less than $6 a month. In Fauquier County, the installation of the Pixellot-brand digital cameras in the gyms and stadiums costs
An auto-tracking feature allows Pixellot cameras to cover the entire playing surface in a panoramic view and automatically follow plays.

Local high school events in gyms and stadiums will be livestreamed on the National Federation of State High School Association’s network this season, offering a solution to watching games during the pandemic when crowds are restricted to 250. Cameras already exist at gyms and stadiums in Prince William County and are being installed at Fauquier County’s three high schools. $2,500 per school. The central office will assist with the installation. “This is a great use of technology in a pandemic,” said Major Warner, Fauquier County’s associate superintendent for instruction. “What it eliminates is the ‘Who gets the 40 tickets?’ Here is an option for you to watch from the comfort and safety of your
home. This is part of what I see as the new reality for the foreseeable future.” Unity Reed activities director Kevin Turner said a Pixellot camera has been in place above the press box at his school for a year, but it has not been used. “It definitely provides another option,” he said, adding, “I’m not sure it’s a change that’s a welcome change. In reality, folks want to see their kids play in person.” With high school sports set to resume next month, administrators are struggling with how to deal with limits of 250 people — including players and coaches — at events. In Fauquier County, administrators are contemplating allowing spectators only from the home school at events. “It would be tough for me to tell Fauquier they’ve got 50 tickets and we’ve got 50 tickets,” said Kettle Run activities director Paul Frye. “My kids’ parents get to watch them play when we’re at home,” he said, noting Liberty and Fauquier are discussing following the same policy to only let the home team’s fans attend. “I believe that’s the easiest way to handle this,” Frye said, adding allowing the athletes to return to competition is the prime focus. “We’re not here so Mom and Dad can watch them play. We’re here so the kids can play.” In Prince William County, online ticketing is being looked at as a way to regulate the interest. “The allotments present positives and negatives,” said Unity Reed’s Turner. In Fauquier County, school administrators are excited to use the new cameras, believing in the technology and the need. The camera is fully autonomous and covers the entire playing surface in a panoramic view. It automatically follows the play, and is said to produce a quality production. The system is synched with the scoreboards to display the games’ scores and times at the bottom of the screen. Games are streamed through
collaboration between the National Federation of State High School Associations and PlayOn! Sports of Atlanta. The service has operated since 2013. More than 300,000 contests were streamed last year. Subscribers may watch any available game at a participating school in the country. Fauquier High AD Mark Ott said there is a five-year contract to join the network. After three years, the schools will get a share of the revenue generated by subscriptions. Monthly subscriptions are $10.99 for viewers and may be canceled at any time. A yearly rate of $69.99 ($5.83 monthly) also is available. “I think this is going to be a great thing,” Ott said. “It’s going to benefit people out of state or area who never get to see their grandkids or family members play.” Once completed each contest will be archived and available for view at any time. Ott said schools also may sell up to three ads that will scroll at the bottom of the screen during the contest. Each school will input schedules and start times into the NFHS’ system. After calibration, broadcasting begins automatically. Ott received an email Friday requesting an appointment to install the digital Pixellot Prime cameras at Fauquier. One camera will be in the gymnasium to cover basketball, volleyball, wrestling and cheer competitions. The second will be in the football stadium to stream football, lacrosse, field hockey and soccer. Track meets also will be available, except at Liberty because the Eagle track lies outside of the stadium. Unity Reed’s Turner said the thought behind streaming was to beam games to relatives in other areas, and his parents have not used it locally. “It was originally installed for folks with family members not nearby. If you lived in Phoenix or New York you could watch a kid play basketball or volleyball. Some schools have taken advantage of it, but none of our parents have,” Turner said. Due to major gym construction, Unity Reed’s gym camera is currently disabled. “I’m not sure if it will be repaired for our schedule, but if it is, yes, we can livestream,” he said.

OBITUARIES Walter John Shellington
Charles Richard Brown (Charlie) Charles Richard Brown (Charlie), 84, of Warrenton, Virginia passed away peacefully on November 3, 2020 at the Adler Center for Caring in Aldie, Virginia. Born on March 24, 1936 in Baltimore, MD to the late Francis Daniel Brown and Helen Cobb Brown, Charlie grew up on the family’s farm in Salisbury, MD. After graduating from Wicomico High School in 1954, he went on to proudly serve in the United States Air Force from 1955 thru 1958. Wishing to pursue a career in Electrical Engineering that he developed over his time in the Air Force, Charlie earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Syracuse University in 1964 and his Master’s Degree from George Washington University in 1973. His engineering career started in the private sector with General Electric in Syracuse, NY from ‘59 to ’67 then Computer Sciences Corporation in Falls Church, VA from ‘67 to ’81. This was followed by a 17 year career with the Department of the Navy inside the DMV, working with Navel Electronics Systems Command from ‘81 to ‘84, Naval Sea Systems Command from ‘84 to ‘87, and finally with Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command from ‘87 until retirement in 1997. After meeting his beloved wife of almost 56 years, Jeannette I. Brown (Lussier), in 1958 while attending Syracuse University, Charlie and Jen wed in 1959 and held brief residences there, Biloxi, MS and Woodbridge, VA before settling down in 1971 to raise their 2 sons in Arlington, VA; residing there until Jen’s passing in 2015. An ardent lover of sports and the youth who played them throughout his life, he was a consistent coaching figure in Arlington’s youth football and baseball programs from the early 1970’s thru the mid 1980’s. Off the field, Charlie was a 20 year member of the Better Sports Club of Arlington; serving on the Board of Directors for 12 of those years thru 2000, and was the honored recipient of the Billy Castleberry Memorial Award in 1990 and the Arlington Sportsman of the Year Award in 1997. Although his baseball teams won several league championships under his helm, his proudest achievement was simply being called ‘Coach’ whenever former players contacted him or stopped by for a visit. Charlie’s later years were filled with following his grandsons on their fields and courts, and watching every game of his beloved Washington Nationals. Never far from his reach was a Bible. A dedicated follower of Our Lord, Charlie cherished his time in study, debate and fellowship with any man, woman or child who welcomed it. His church ‘family’ at both at Cherrydale Baptist of Arlington and here at Warrenton Baptist over these last 5 years, gave him a great deal of both enrichment and enjoyment, comforting him greatly in his final earthly days. He is survived by his two sons and their families, Lawrence (Larry) & wife Dawn of Marshall, Virginia and Thomas (Tom) & wife Deirdre of North Chesterfield, Virginia; 3 grandsons, Philip, Hunter and Ethan; a very special sister in law, Margaret Bull Brown of Salisbury, Maryland and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents and his beloved wife, Jen, he was preceded in death by his three brothers, Thomas M., Daniel F. and James J. Brown. A Memorial Service will be held at Warrenton Baptist Church, 123 Main St., Warrenton, VA, on Saturday, November 21,2020 at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Charlie’s name may be made to The Alzheimer’s Association (act.alz.org) or to Warrenton Baptist Church (warrentonbaptistchurch.org).

In Memoriam – Joyce Virginia Clatterbuck Harding Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 has witnessed the passing of a quietly great woman, Joyce Virginia Clatterbuck Harding. Born January 3rd, 1947 to Conway Otis and Doris Virginia (King) Clatterbuck in Warrenton at the old hospital (now next to Red Truck). Joyce was their only child and the apple of her father’s eye. Living on Lover’s Lane, she was fortunate to be just over the hill from her maternal grandparents, Craven and Minnie (Martin) King. Her grandfather Craven was incredibly special to her, and she ensured that his memory lived on until she herself passed. She grew up with a love for animals, having many pets – including ducks – and teaching her dog Brownie to slide down the slide. This love for animals followed her throughout and into her adult life. From fostering animals from the local SPCA, to lovingly taking in strays, to purebred animals, it didn’t matter to Joyce; they all deserved the love and compassion of a good home. From her earliest days in school and throughout her life, Joyce was gifted both intellectually and with a keen wit and sense of proper Southern lady’s vocabulary. Her scholastic career was as successful as all things she would endeavor upon in her life. As a member of the 2nd class to graduate from the then new Fauquier High School in 1965, she would receive a full scholarship to then Strayer Business School. Joyce’s tenacity, incredible will, and scholastic achievements coupled with her wit and intellect set the foundation for a well-respected business career. While beginning as a law secretary then in real estate, her greatest achievements came in the realm of the banking industry, specifically with Sona Bank over the past several years, holding many key positions within that entity. She was forever present and didn’t take a day even when she should have taken a day. Joyce was many things, yet loyalty to family was paramount. From caring for younger cousins, raising her own family, or being the primary care provider for both her maternal grandmother – Ruth Colvin Hughes and own mother; she again was always present. Of this legacy of love, loyalty, and intellect, Joyce is survived by the following family to carry on her legacy – Husband, C. Milton Harding; only child, Eric Conway Cox; granddaughter, Allison Elizabeth Cox (Ashby Berry); grandson Conway Alexander Cox; great-grandson Nolan Ashby Berry; and a yet to be born great-granddaughter. There are scores of cousins as well throughout Fauquier. Services for Joyce will be private through invitation due to Covid-19 restrictions and handled by Mosers Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the local SPCA of Fauquier County or to the Middleburg Humane Society.
