Despite ‘highest risk’ COVID metrics, school board sticks to return-to-school plan By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Despite having the highest COVID-19 school metrics in the region, Prince William County schools has no plans yet to change its schedule for allowing more students to return for in-person learning after Thanksgiving. During a Nov. 18 school board meeting, Superintendent Steven Walts and other senior school di-
vision staff said Prince William County schools will not tie decisions regarding in-person learning to any specific pandemic parameters, as school divisions in Fairfax and Loudoun counties have in recent days. Instead, Prince William schools will consider the county’s overall pandemic metrics – with a particular eye toward clusters or outbreaks in schools, regional hospitalizations
and death rates – in deciding when or if to halt in-person learning, Denise Huebner, associate superintendent for special education and student services, told school board members. Further, decisions about in-person learning could vary from school-toschool, or even by grade level or classroom, in response to an outbreak, Huebner said. See RETURN, page 2
County sees rush on free COVID tests
County vows CARES Act money will get spent
As sites reach capacity, county says it can’t add more free tests

utes after opening, said Prince William County Assistant Fire Chief Matt Smolsky, who oversees the county’s free testing effort. Smolsky attributed the high demand for testing to increased awareness about rising COVID-19 cases across Virginia and the U.S.
Prince William County has so far spent just more than half of the $82 million it received in federal and state COVID-19 relief funds it received last spring. But officials say the full amount will be depleted by the Dec. 30 deadline, in part by using some of the money to pay police, fire and public health salaries, which is allowed under federal guidelines. The county received its slice of the $3 billion in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act funding allocated to Virginia in May and July to help buffer the economic impacts of the coronavirus. The pandemic has resulted in historic levels of unemployment and businesses closures across the country. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors allocated its CARES Act funds to help those impacted locally by the pandemic. Those efforts included providing

As Prince William County’s COVID-19 cases rise, so too has the demand for free tests. But at least for now, the county is unable to boost the number of free tests it can offer residents because of a lack of lab capacity, according to county officials. Through a partnership with Sentara and about $5 million in federal and state coronavirus relief funds, the county has been offering free tests on a set weekly schedule since mid-July. The county has the ability to administer 200 tests a day. But that likely won’t increase despite the rising demand because of an inability to process more tests, said County Executive Chris Martino. “We have sufficient money in testing already, so funding hasn’t been the problem for the testing. It is really the capacity,” Martino told the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. “If we could buy more, we would.” Prince William officials have had to shut down the county’s free COVID-19 testing sites every day since Friday, Nov. 13, because they’ve reached capacity. In some instances, testing sites were closed just 30 min-
“The decision to return is not ever decided on one, two or three metrics alone,” said School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef.

Prince William exceeds ‘highestrisk’ thresholds in 3 of 6 CDC “Considerations that may trigger school metrics
a need to look at the adjustment of the risk threshold … would be an increase in hospitalizations, a lack of hospital beds,” said Huebner, who leads the school division’s pandemic team. “An increase in the death rate would [also] be an indicator, or a trend that’s recognized of kids being hospitalized and becoming infected,” she said. “This will vary from situation to situation and may include classrooms, grade levels and or entire schools at times.” Walts said the school division is monitoring local and state COVID-19 trends and noted the current trend “is one of increasing transmission of COVID-19.” But Walts said he is not recommending any changes to operations at this time “due in large part to the limited number of students we have in the buildings currently coupled with our extensive mitigation efforts.” Walts added, however, that if “more indicators reach the highest level” changes to operations could include “recommendations to delay further return of students or other mitigations.” The school division currently considers itself to be in the “moderate to high” level of the Virginia Department of Health’s COVID-19 Guidance for Schools. The designation stipulates that in-person learning should be considered for certain students with disabilities and English-language learners as well as students in pre-K through the third grade. About 4,800 Prince William County students are currently attending school in-person, a number that includes about 3,600 pre-K and kindergarten students, who began attending school on a two-day-aweek hybrid schedule on Nov. 10. About 1,200 students with disabilities and English-language learners began attending school four days a week on Sept. 8. First-grade students whose parents opted for in-person instruction are scheduled to return to elementary schools on a hybrid schedule on Tuesday, Dec. 1, which at this point will not change, Walts said.
As of Monday, Nov. 23, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s school metrics showed Prince William County Health District to have three of six pandemic metrics in the red or “highest risk” range: the number of COVID-19 cases reported per capita over the last 14 days, which was 358; the percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests, at 10.3%; and the percent increase in cases per capita week over week, which was 41.8%. According to the CDC, anything over 200 cases per 100,000 residents is in the “highest risk” range, as is a percent-positivity rate over 10% and a weekly increase in the rate of cases per capita over 10%. The county’s numbers are in the “lowest risk” range for the percentage of hospital beds occupied, at 79% on Monday, and in the “lower risk” range in the percentage of hospital beds filled with COVID-19 patients, which stood at 9.6% on Monday. Theresa Polk, the school division’s supervisor for school health services and also a member of its pandemic team, said there has been an increase in local COVID-19 hospitalizations but not enough to warrant a change in the school division’s plans. “There are still quite a number of beds available in the hospitals,” Polk said.
School Board reactions mixed
School Board members remained mostly quiet in response to Walts’ assessment with the exception of Occoquan District Representative Lillie Jessie who said she was “not happy” with the fact Walts did not offer specific parameters for returning students to school based on the pandemic metrics, as other Northern Virginia school divisions have. “You’ve decided that after Dec. 1, you are bringing first-graders in, you said as health numbers permit it,” Jessie said to Walts. “What numbers would have to happen for you to make a change?” In response, Walts reiterated the school division is not looking at a single metric. “We consider all the different metrics,” he said. Fairfax County called off its plans

last week to allow 6,800 preschool, kindergarten and special education students to return to school because COVID-19 metrics exceeded that school division’s parameters, which require cases per capita over 14 days to be less than or equal to 200 and the percent-positivity rate to be less than 8%. The Loudoun County School Board also decided last week to halt in-person instruction if that county’s COVID-19 cases per capita over 14 days rise over 200 and its percent-positivity rate exceeds 10%, putting each measure in the “highest risk” category. School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef said Nov. 19 it’s “inappropriate” and “unfortunate” that some school divisions and the press are focusing on specific pandemic metrics. Lateef said he agrees with Walts’ decision not to halt in-person learning and to make decisions about reverting to virtual instruction on a school-by-school basis if needed. “We can’t punish everybody for something that’s happening in one location,” Lateef said about the possibility of varying decisions by school. “We don’t shut all schools down because one area has an issue.” Lateef reiterated that he believes the school division’s ability to mit-
igate the spread of the coronavirus within school buildings is more important than the level of community spread of COVID-19, which is what the CDC school metric attempts to quantify. Lateef said he also doesn’t expect Prince William County schools to necessarily limit the return-toschool plan to only pre-K through third grade students even if the local COVID-19 metrics remain the same when fourth- and fifth-graders are slated to return in January, but said that decision would be made by Walts. Regarding the parameters set by Loudoun and Fairfax county schools, Lateef noted that both of those school divisions had more robust plans in the works. Loudoun County, for example, is planning to open their schools to grades three through five on Dec. 1, if local COVID-19 numbers stay below highest risk level thresholds. “They were putting out a more aggressive return-to-learn plan than we were. Now they’re halting it,” Lateef said of Fairfax County. “Our plan is a more cautious plan that we believe we can stick to because we are going to be mitigating along the way.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com Classified Sales Consultant Jeanne Cobert, 540-878-2491 jcobert@fauquier.com

County board adopts climate goals in a party-line vote By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors have adopted an ambitious set of climate resiliency goals that include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, achieving 100% renewable electricity for county government operations by 2030 and creating a public advisory body to direct the county in reaching those goals. The resolution does not commit to any specific initiatives or policy changes. The board voted 5-3 to approve the measure Nov. 17 with all five Democrats in support and the board’s three Republicans voting against it. Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, who carried the resolution, said the move allows the board to begin discussing the county’s climate planning goals and for the public to have input in the conversation. “This resolution puts the flag post down and says, ‘We want to start this process,’” Boddye said. The resolution was partly based on goals set by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, but were also created in consultation with Community environmental groups and county staff, Boddye said in an email. Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, said the resolution is a step in the right direction, and is the first time the board has considered setting climate planning goals for the county. “With half a million residents in Prince William County, it is time that we take environmental policy very seriously. And what this does is simply set goals for the county to try and attain them,” Franklin said. “We’ve never done anything like this before, and it’s about time that we step up to that plate.” But some Democratic supervisors, while sup-

Prince William hires new planning director Staff Reports The Prince William Board of County Supervisors has announced the hiring of Parag Agrawal as the new county planning director following a nationwide search with a public survey and competitive hiring process. Agrawal’s expected start date is Dec. 7, and his salary is $170,000, according to county spokesperson Sherrie Johnson. “We are happy to welcome Mr. Agrawal to Prince William County and the level of expertise he brings to the position,” Prince William County Executive Chris Martino said in a news release. Agrawal currently serves as community development director in one of the fastest-growing communities near Atlanta, Georgia. For three years prior to working in that position, Agrawal was the associate director of the division of statewide planning and the metropolitan planning organization for the state of Rhode Island, which has a population of 1 million people. Preceding his time working in Rhode Island, Agrawal was the planning and economic development director for the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. In total, Agrawal has more than 18 years of experience in the field of planning and development, the release said. “Mr. Agrawal brings a wealth of experience to this position, and we look forward to innovative programs
Parag Agrawal to benefit Prince William County,” Prince William County Board of Supervisors at-large Chair Ann Wheeler said in a statement. Agrawal administered Georgia’s largest transfer of development rights programs and a “greenspace bond program,” both intended to help conserve and preserve land. He also recently completed metropolitan Atlanta’s tree preservation ordinance and worked with private stakeholders to facilitate the development of the city’s new downtown, according to a county press release. Agrawal has a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Aligarh University in India and a master’s degree in city and regional planning from Ohio State University. He is a certified planner with the American Planning Association. See AGRAWAL, page 4

CARES, from page 1 funds for child care, community food banks, COVID-19 testing, small business aid, housing assistance, homeless services and remote learning initiatives for the county school system. So far, Prince William County has spent $44 million of its CARES Act funds, and an additional $23 million is expected to go out the door by the end of the year, according to the county’s Director of Finance Michelle Attreed. Another $13.5 million in CARES Act funds have not yet been spent. But Attreed said the county will use any unused funds by the Dec. 30 deadline to pay for public safety and public health employee salaries, which is allowable under federal CARES Act guidelines. Attreed said the move will free up money in county’s general fund to pay for coronavirus-related expenses after the Dec. 30 deadline. “If we have those funds set aside … we will charge salary costs that are allowable to the CARES Act to make sure we fully expend all of those funds,” Attreed told the county supervisors Tuesday, Nov. 17. “We know on December 30 our costs aren’t going to stop. There’s going to be a need to continue to respond.” Some CARES Act funding that comes directly from the federal government separate from the coun-

Where did Prince William County allocate CARES Act funds?
Prince William County received $82 million in federal CARES Act funds this year. The county allocated most of those funds to the school system, to the county's own COVID-19 response and towards economic recovery initiatives. Other ($15.9m)

ty’s state-allocated funds, including some federal housing aid, does not have a Dec. 30 deadline, and the county will be able to use those funds into 2021. But if more relief funding is not allocated from the state or federal government in 2021, the county will have to start using local tax dollars for coronavirus-related expenditures such as personal protective equipment, COVID-19 testing and community aid to food banks beginning in January, according to county
TESTING, from page 1 “It’s all over the media. Now that the election is over, the pandemic is back in the spotlight,” Smolsky said. Also, COVID-19 cases reported in Prince William County have been on the rise in recent weeks. Since Oct. 27, the county’s seven-day average of new daily cases is up about 55%, according to Virginia Department of Health data. The upcoming Thanksgiving holiday might also be driving the demand for tests, but Smolsky said he doesn’t know for sure. County and contracted workers administering the free tests don’t ask people why they want to be tested, he noted. No one is turned away from the free tests, whether they have symptoms of COVID-19 or not, as long as the site still has tests, Smolsky said. Dr. Alison Ansher, director of the Prince William Health District, noted that the latest surge in demand is a reversal from the late summer and early fall when the county saw a decline in demand for COVID-19 tests. When asked by Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, if she thought the county had enough tests, Ansher said it depends on whether demand continues after the Thanksgiving holiday. “Is [the testing surge] because people are planning on traveling, which we are not thrilled about, and want to know if they are negative before they

I guess we’ll have to see if the trend continues,” Ansher said. “It could be because of the news that in the United States, as well as in the state of Virginia and the national capital region, that we are seeing more transmission,” she added. “If the trend continues, we’ll certainly look toward … helping to provide more testing opportunities.” Smolsky noted that the free county tests are just a fraction of the total number of tests available in the county. Most urgent care centers are offering tests as are hospitals and many doctors’ offices. According to the Virginia Department of Health, COVID-19 testing in Prince William County peaked in early June with a seven-day average of 1,154 daily tests. It fell to a low of 544 tests a day in early July and now stands at about 835 daily tests. As of Tuesday, Nov. 17, a total of 164,756 COVID-19 tests had been administered in Prince William County since the pandemic began. Of those, 12,150 have been free tests administered by the county. In light of the demand – and the inability to add more tests to the free sites in the short term – county officials are urging residents to arrive at the testing sites when they open or even earlier. “If they want to be tested, they need to be there at the time we open, and even that’s not a guarantee,” Smolsky said.

AGRAWAL, from page 3 “I am excited to join the team to help move the county forward in its goals. I appreciate the opportunity to serve the citizens of Prince William County. I look forward to working with various community stakeholders to make Prince William County as the most livable community in the country,” Agrawal said. Agrawal was selected as the top-ranked candidate after a national recruitment process. Prince William County received 34 applications from 15 states. Candidates went through an extensive vetting process as part of a contract with a recruiter, The Novak Consulting Group. “Agrawal distinguished himself throughout the recruitment process,” the press release said. “He believes strongly in community engagement, building positive relationships and collaboration. He is looking forward to bringing his experience in revitalization, redevelopment and land conservation to Prince William County.”
out the first quarter, particularly the residential real estate market, but added the county has a “slightly negative outlook” because “there’s just not enough homes on the market.” Attreed said that while retail tax revenue at the national level has seen a decline locally, the county is “still seeing very strong sales tax revenues,” likely because people are teleworking during the pandemic. “I think we benefit some from people working at home. You may have had people that worked in Fairfax or the District of Columbia that maybe did their shopping there. They’re now here at the house. So, I think the telework situation maybe is helping some of our sales tax,” Attreed said. Sinclair said the county is expecting an agency budget shortfall of about $10 million and a general fund revenue shortfall of $1.5 million. More than half of the lost revenues from county agencies are from the county’s parks, recreation and tourism department, which has taken a hit because of the closure of the county’s aquatic and fitness centers. But Sinclair said the county is expected to have $12 million in general fund savings this year, which will leave the county with a small general fund surplus of about $500,000. “Vigilance is going to be required,” Sinclair said.

CLIMATE, from page 3 Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, echoed Lawson’s concerns about the proposed climate goals. “The elephant in the room comes down to, ‘How do we impact climate change as a board of county supervisors? How do we really impact the environment?’ It comes down to the land-use decisions that we make as a board,” Vega said. The resolution received support from numerous local conservation and land-use advocacy organizations, including the Prince William County Conservation Alliance, the Greater Prince William Climate Action Network, Mothers Out Front and Active Prince William. More than two dozen county residents spoke in favor of the resolution during public comment time. Sandy Holland, a member of Mothers Out Front, said that “passing the county’s first climate action resolution marks a good first step in prioritizing the health and safety for future generations of Prince William County residents.” “As a PWC mother of young adults who were raised here in the county and may very well have families of their own here someday, this resolution represents the beginning of the legacy we leave for our youth,” Holland said. Josey Wease, a young Prince William County resident and a member of the Greater Prince William Climate Action Network, said that, “seeing the global impacts of climate change increasing every year can be daunting, but pushing for change within my community gives me hope for a greener future.” “This climate resolution is urgently needed and will allow our community to move forward in building resiliency to the upcoming challenges posed by the climate crisis,” Wease said. “These goals will provide a set of standards to meet the needs of today without compromising the needs of tomorrow.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@fauquier.com

Fewer inmates transferred to ICE post 287(g) By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William-Manassas jail has transferred far fewer inmates to U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement custody in the last two months than in the past because the county no longer holds a 287(g) agreement with ICE and has new policies for how the jail interacts with federal immigration officials. Jail Superintendent Pete Meletis said Nov. 18 that only 16 inmates, all charged with at least a felony, have been transferred from the jail to ICE custody since mid-September – far lower than at any point in the last decade. Between 2011 and 2019, the jail transferred an average of 60 inmates to ICE every month, ac-
Former Green Beret pleads guilty to spying Staff Reports A Gainesville resident and former Army Green Beret pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiring with Russian intelligence operatives Peter Rafael to provide them Dzibinski with national deDebbins fense information, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Peter Rafael Dzibinski Debbins, 45, of Gainesville, conspired with agents of a Russian intelligence service from December 1996 to January 2011, according to a news release issued by U.S. Attorney G. Zachary Terwilliger’s office Wednesday, Nov. 18. During that 15-year period, Debbins visited Russia periodically to meet with Russian intelligence agents, was assigned a Russian code name and shared information about fellow members of his Special Forces team, the release said. “Our country entrusted Debbins with the responsibility and training to protect it from its adversaries,” Terwilliger, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, said in a statement. Debbins is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 26, 2021, and faces a maximum penalty of life in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors, the release said. Debbins served on active duty as an officer in the U.S. Army from 1998 to 2005, serving in chemical units before being selected for the U.S. Army Special Forces. In 1997, Debbins was assigned a code name by Russian intelligence agents and signed a statement attesting that he wanted to serve Russia, the release said. Over the course of the conspiracy, Debbins provided the Russian intelligence agents with information about his chemical and Special Forces units, the release said.
cording to county records obtained by Freedom of Information Act request last year. The Prince William-Manassas jail board unanimously ended the county’s decade-long 287(g) agreement with ICE in July. The agreement allowed ICE to deputize several of the jail officers as ICE agents, giving them access to ICE databases to check the status of undocumented inmates and allowed the jail to hold inmates with ICE detainers for up to two days past their release dates so ICE personnel could pick them up and transfer them to an ICE holding facility. After the agreement ended, the jail board unanimously adopted a new policy directing the jail to only notify ICE about the release of people detained for felonies – not misdemeanors -- if immigration officials had lodged detainers against
them. Also, the jail holds those charged with felonies for a maximum of two hours past their release times for ICE to retrieve them. In the fiscal year 2020, prior to the end of the 287(g) agreement, 74% of ICE detainers were placed on local inmates charged with misdemeanors. A total of 578 ICE detainers were lodged against inmates in the jail between January and July of this year. Meletis said ICE officers had arrived to pick up all 16 people charged with felonies with detainers within the two-hour window set forth by the new policy since it was adopted in September and had not missed any pickups. “They’ve picked them all up in the window that we were directed to follow,” Meletis said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Replacing Confederate statues is long overdue I am writing in response to the article titled Virginia leaders seek input on Lee statue replacement in U.S. Capitol, published on Nov. 16, 2020. I believe that the replacement of statues commemorating Confederate generals is long overdue. This is an opportunity to acknowledge those who have been oppressed throughout American history and give them the recognition they deserve. There are many groups that are more than deserving a statue dedicated to them. The statue should represent those who have not had the privilege of being white. A statue of Pocahontas would honor Native American women and men who faced mass genocide at the hands of settlers who arrived in Virginia. These people owned this land before we knew it existed, yet we stripped them of their culture. Another great candidate listed is Maggie L. Walker, for the African American women and men who face racism to this day in the United States. It is important that this statue depicts a woman to acknowledge the sexism they have faced and portray a female who shows how women helped the progression of our country.
Even after African American men were granted the right to vote, women still had to fight for suffrage to have a say in the country they supported and helped build. It is important to acknowledge the many dif-
Keep holiday gatherings safe and small As an American and general citizen of the world, these past nine months have been filled with fear, frustration, hope and sadness, as this new wave of cases across the country and in our community have continued to foster those emotions. However, my bewilderment comes from the fact that Thanksgiving and the Christian holidays that follow it, are times when many people come together to find joy from common experiences and traditions. It is a time of loving your neighbor and being thankful for things like the health and safety of loved ones. I find it perplexing that this mentality that many are clinging to as an essential part of their year, is
not one that has been reflected in the behavior and actions of many in our community over the past nine months. Instead, this increased frustration with quarantine has resulted in an increased willingness to take risks and hope for the best. As cases in our community rise, and fear for our vulnerable loved ones increases, is it not in the spirit of the holidays to keep things small and utilize our new knowledge of Zoom? Joining together and giving thanks this year should maybe mean coming together with those close to us and giving thanks for the little things. HALY JUNGWIRTH Woodbridge
Ending 287(g) a step toward less division I am writing in response to your article titled “Far Fewer Local Inmates Are Being Transferred to ICE After End of 287(g),” published on Nov. 19. This is a very great start toward treating people as part of the community and not just looking at the status they were given at birth. Even if someone is not a legal citizen, they deserve to feel safe where they live and not exiled. I agree that if they did not commit more than a misdemeanor, there is no need to inform ICE and possibly have them taken away from their families, friends, and what they are working on. Often undocumented
people are seen as scary or different because of factors such as race and economic status, but they are just as much a part of our community as anyone else. They deserve the chance to continue building a good life for themselves and find ways to grow their abilities. Although there is a lot more we should be doing to help, ending the 287(g) agreement was a step toward making our community a less divided and more safe place to be in for everyone, but especially members who may not be legal citizens. ABIGAIL HANIFEN Woodbridge

School decision-makers must consider airborne spread of COVID-19 I am writing this letter in response to the article titled, “Despite ‘highest risk’ COVID metrics, Prince William sticks with plan to return students to schools,” published Nov. 19. Regarding the recent news announcement about students [attending school in person], I think there are mixed emotions when it comes to this decision. While many COVID-19 safety metrics are in place in Prince William County, some social constructions and rationalizations are happening with the misinformation that is spreading. A common example of this is that while many people do not think COVID-19 is airborne, the CDC stated that airborne transmission is spread through exposure to
Letters to the Editor
those virus-containing respiratory droplets comprised of smaller droplets and particles that can remain suspended in the air distances usually greater than 6 feet and typically for hours. While believing that COVID-19 is not airborne has been the norm, parents should have that choice on whether to send their kids to school. As the culture seems to go with what is popular, it is only right to respect those families who choose to opt-out. I would like the school board to consider the choices carefully and decide if sending students back to class is necessary at this time. OSCAR MARTINEZ Manassas

More than just the holidays December is a time for history, culture at the libraries By Jean L. Ross
Contributing Writer
In all the hubbub that surrounds the holidays this time of year, it is often forgotten that major events in American history, and particularly the history of civil rights, have anniversaries in December. It was Dec. 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was arrested, and this simple act of deciding not to put up with racism for one more minute sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott that month – an act that arguably changed the country forever. Parks’ life and her impact are chronicled in many books and videos, including, “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks,” by Jeanne Theo-
haris, and numerous documentary-style videos available to you via AccessVideo, found on our Digital Library, www.pwcgov.org/digitallibrary. Parks was not the only civil rights figure for whom December is a significant month. John Brown was executed for treason on Dec. 2, 1859. Whether you believe he was a madman or ahead of his time, there are many fascinating books and videos about his fiery crusade. Most notably, and now a series on HBO, is James McBride’s novel, “The Good Lord Bird.” This rollicking comedic tragedy has John Brown as its centerpiece, and laughter and horror are on every page. December is also an excellent month to be born
THE LATEST NEWS FROM AND ABOUT THE PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY Prince William Times | November 25, 2020
Libraries open for limited hours
As of Oct. 12, six Prince William County public libraries reopened for limited hours, including Bull Run Regional, Chinn Park Regional, Haymarket Gainesville, Montclair, Potomac and Central. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturdays until 5 p.m. Masks and social distancing required. See www. pwcgov.org for details. if you wish to become a poet or any kind of artist, no matter if your chosen medium is words or cartoons. You can dig deeper into the lives and work of many December babies at the library – whether your interest is in Walt Disney’s animation genius, the poetry of Emily Dickinson and Joyce Kilmer, the stunning photography of Alfred Eisenstaedt, or even the delightful songs of Ira Gershwin. December people clearly have a strong creative streak. Exercise your mind by checking out books or accessing videos and e-books to find out more.
What’s hot: December 2020 December is traditionally a slow month for major titles, but this year all bets are off as September titles became November, and then some slipped further. The good news is that things are getting back on track and publication dates are becoming more reliable. E-books and e-audios have all been impacted by these date changes, as those are usually simultaneous with print versions. Right now, some titles of interest that seem to be picking up steam are: “The Best of Me” by David Sedaris, and “Is This Anything?” by Jerry Seinfeld, both feature funny men and funny stories. For their fans, these will be a delight. Science fiction enthusiasts have been waiting a long time for “Ready Player Two,” by Ernest Cline, thanks to the appeal of “Ready Player One,” which was also a Steven Spielberg film. This one picks up where the last story left off. Former President Barack Obama’s memoir, “A Promised Land,” will be of interest to students of history and politics. This first volume covers his early years through the pivotal Iowa caucuses. “The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop,” by Fannie Flagg, is another in her series about the little southern town of Whistle Stop, Alabama, and is the long-awaited sequel to “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café.” For years, readers have been hoping for a return to that little town. Another next book in a beloved series is the young adult novel, “The Tower of Nero,” by Rick Riordan. It is No. 5 in the “Trials of Apollo” series, and it is also the end for these characters. The novel promises to answer readers’ questions about Meg, Apollo and more. Then there are the always interesting and reliable writers whose next books are eagerly awaited, and this month is rich with such titles. Anthony Horowitz’s stories become more and more interesting with each mystery he writes, and the latest one is “Moonflower Murders.” This sequel to the masterful “Magpie Murders” brings
back Susan Ryland, who solved the Magpie murders and who now returns to England to solve yet another baffling crime. Horowitz is not your typical British “cozy” author, and the twists and turns built into his mysteries are engrossing. “How to Raise an Elephant,” by Alexander McCall Smith, is the 21st novel in the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” series, and all your favorite characters are back. Harvesting elephants for ivory generates the title, and that mystery is – of course – solved. You cannot go wrong with anything by Ann Cleeves. While her Shetland novels were engrossing, she has branched out to another series featuring Vera Stanhope. The latest novel is “The Darkest Evening,” and it lives up to its title. One snowy evening, Vera is taking her usual walk home only to discover an apparently abandoned vehicle with a toddler strapped inside.
There are novels by well-loved authors such as John Grisham, Lee Child, Mary Higgins Clark, Lisa Gardner, Danielle Steel, Jeffrey Archer, David Baldacci, Michael Connolly and Nicholas Sparks that have recently arrived. Ina Garten and Martha Stewart also have delicious new selections coming out. Should you have downsized your holiday plans, the upside is you will have lots of time to read and plenty of good choices.

Manassas ice skating canceled due to COVID-19 Staff Reports COVID-19 has canceled ice skating in Old Town Manassas this year, but the Harris Pavilion will be used for another reason – to provide outdoor dining space, city officials announced last week. Ice skating at the Harris Pavilion has been a seasonal highlight in Old Town Manassas for years. This year, however, the 25-person limit Gov. Ralph Northam imposed on both indoor and outdoor gatherings would make the operation unworkable, City of Manassas spokeswoman Patty Prince said in a Thursday news release. “Public safety is the main priority, but the limitation of how many people can be on the ice at any given time also makes opening the rink finan-
cially unfeasible,” Prince said. In lieu of ice skating, the city has purchased several propone heaters that will be “placed strategically” within the pavilion to allow for expanded outdoor dining during the lunch and dinner hours. “By doing this, we hope to support our restaurants by providing additional opportunities for outdoor dining and encourage our community to support city restaurants this winter,” the release added. City officials and the skating rink’s managers, Rink Management, Inc. “look forward to returning ice skating to the Harris Pavilion next winter,” the release said.

HITTIN’EM STRAIGHT IN WILLIAMSBURG Brentsville’s Bae to play women’s golf at William & Mary
THE ISABEL BAE FILE
By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
When you’re the best girls golfer in school history, you deserve your moment in the sun. That’s why Brentsville High found a way to celebrate senior Isabel Bae’s signing with William & Mary even during the pandemic. Only the athlete, her parents, brother and her coaches were allowed to Bae’s small ceremony Nov. 10 at the high school, and they came in one at a time, with the area later sanitized for a second athlete, Austin Stroud, who signed to play men’s lacrosse at Division II Mars Hill (N.C.) University. “She’s probably the best female golfer of all time at Brentsville,” said Tigers’ golf coach Gina Butler of Bae, who has been the Tigers’ No. 1 golfer her entire career, and helped Brentsville win the Northwestern District Class 3 title last year. “Her short game is stellar, and she’s almost always in the fairways and greens in regulation. That’s how she scores so low,” said Butler. Bae said she’s been talking with William & Mary coach Ed Teer for over a year. “I think after visiting so many times to William & Mary and Jamestown for golf tournaments and for fun, I fell in love with the campus and I felt like I belonged there,” she said. “I really like how it is only two to three hours from my house, so my parents can visit me and watch me play or visit me at Williamsburg.” Bae was in discussion with other colleges, but she said William & Mary stood out “because I knew it was one of the best schools in Virginia and it has always been my dream to play Division I golf.” Golf is something that’s in her blood. Bae’s father is an avid golf-

He began schooling her when she was 7 and continued working with her until about two years ago, when former George Mason University men’s golf coach Linda Gaudi took over. “My dad was my biggest supporter, because he would help me gain every skill I possibly could have and taught me many valuable things through golf,” she said. Butler says Bae is so skilled and poised that she requires almost zero maintenance. “Isabel is calm, cool and collected on the golf course. She has a poker face, so if it’s not going well, you’re not going to know about it,” the coach said. “It’s pretty impressive to watch her move around the course. I have the luxury to ride up and talk to the golfers, and she’ll tell me how things are going. She’s
always positive.” Bae agrees she has a calm temperament. “The part of the game that came easiest at first was short game since I was a small girl back then, but now one of my strengths is my mentality. If I don’t have the best start in a tournament, I stay as calm as possible and try to have fun,” she said. Bae has shined throughout her amateur career, playing on the American Junior Golf Association circuit and Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour. She was second in her age group and fourth overall at the 2020 VSGA Girls Junior Championship, shooting 69 (-2) and 67 (-4). She was fourth at the AJGA Junior at Longleaf, carding scores of 78, 74 and 68. She placed third at the Commonwealth Classic and fourth at the HJ Glove Girls Championship. She was
Family: Father is Jay, mother is Ji, brother Alex is a freshman at Brentsville. “Both my parents were born in South Korea and my dad taught me golf almost all my life. My younger brother, who is 14, has been also playing golf since he was 7 and is a very competitive swimmer.” Did you know? Bae has competed at the VHSL state swim meet all three seasons. Favorite food: ”Pretty much all of my mom’s Korean food, but if I had to pick, it has to be her Galbi, which are grilled ribs.” Favorite TV: “I like watching Animal Planet because I would love to become a veterinarian one day or have a career that involves helping animals.” Hobbies: Swimming, working out and family snowboarding trips at Whitetail Resort. Superstitions: “If I don’t eat food on the golf course constantly to maintain my energy, I don’t do as well.” Clubs: “My pitching to 8 irons are Callaway Apex Pro and 7 to 4 irons are regular Apex. I use a TaylorMade M6 driver, a Callaway 3 wood and a Callaway Maverick 4 Hybrid. I always use Callaway’s Chrome Soft balls at my tournaments.” Favorite course: Kingsmill Resort. Possible career: “I am an animal lover, so I really want to work with or help animals and possibly become a veterinarian.” on Team Virginia for wins in two team competitions against Maryland, the Poindexter Cup and Capital Cup. Now that her recruiting is over, Bae still has her senior year to look forward to, since the VHSL pushed fall sports to late winter due to the pandemic. Brentsville’s first meet is March 10 at Stonewall Golf Club. “She will be ready for the cooler temperatures as golf is a year-round sport and Isabel plays all year,” said Butler, who predicts Bae will make her fourth appearance in the VHSL Girls State Championship.
